the people here are movement against racism and pressures them so they are fighting for democrats democratic values and democracy as a whole because they see them problems by votes in our research here in the recent near threatening the supreme court and the palm and as a whole so this is one aim of the protests here another one are the corona policy overbold scenario he recently downplayed the risk of cope with 19 several times. speaking about the corona virus crisis and. action to that now the brazilian government has stopped publishing a running total of coronavirus tests and the sections why did they do that. it's not sure what's in our on the long term wants to really not publish at all the the death toll but what he's doing he tries to am to see if the way off counting

was correct in the last weeks and months and during the pandemic crisis so critics say he might be able in future to manipulate the numbers in order to get to go forward with brazil because his main aim is to restart the economy in brazil and not to protect lives. on the face of it these these protests were about other issues this whole weekend has been dominated by a worldwide black lives month or rallies and has george floyd's death influence the protests in brazil in any way. is definitely influencing it i can see here behind me many shirts with a black life metter motto so people are aware of why. happen in the united states and they have similar problems there are the population in the shantytowns of brazil is suffering recently a police operation in rio de janeiro caused the killing of

a child during such an operation in isolation times of coronaviruses. this is of course hard critics and the child was black as most of the residents of the shanty towns of the 5 a loss so that the black population here in brazil has the same problems as in the united states so there have common aims and they are also fighting for equality and for equal rights for all the brazilian citizens. my peers he was reporting from sao paulo thank you. crowds of protesters have been taking to the streets of cities around the world following the killing of george floyd a black american man who was killed by a whites police officer in minneapolis on may 25 march has emphasize that racism is a problem not only in the united states but also around the world for.

huge crowds outside the u.s. embassy in the british capital london for the 2nd straight day of demonstrations. here as in so many other cities protesters took to the streets almost 2 weeks after the killing of george floyd. the marchers in london emphasize that they were protesting against systemic racism not only in the united states but also around the world. occurring sick of having to explain to my children that because that black they have to act a certain way they have to behave is that why they have to work 10 times harder to get anywhere in life i don't just i've had enough of it i don't want it for their children you know i want to change and i think this is just the beginning i'm not going to stop i'm not the only one we've got to make. and the spanish capital madrid several 1000 people joined the global wave of protests massing outside the

u.s. embassy there i have. a crowd of demonstrators in italy's capital rome knelt in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds that's how long the policemen in minneapolis had his knee on george floyd's neck. there were similar scenes in liberty square in the center of the one carrying capital budapest. it is. really sad what's happening in america and i'm glad that we're all taking a stand all over the world because enough is enough protesters took to the streets in asia as well around a 1000 people marched in the japanese city of osaka. my god belgium's capital brussels also saw thousands of people take part in a protest yet another manifestation of the extraordinary support around the world for black lives matter. that's branded. in

washington stuff and i was present i'm going to lead the country given what has happened in the last 2 weeks. well he hasn't exercised much leadership in the last 2 weeks since this is going on here and since this country has gone through a through a lot of pain and somebody some call it actually a crisis he has displayed a law and order and tough guy approach to it all and seems to be missing actually what is really going on in the country calling for a regular army or suggesting that he might call the regular armed forces against his own people against americans who protest. doesn't sit really well with the majority probably of americans right now i mean there are 80 percent of americans. regard in a new poll by the new york times that say the country is out of control so the

president is not really successful with. translating his leadership and law and order leadership into this situation it seems like i think there's a lot of people across the political spectrum at least we think democrats anyway but also a lot of republicans who criticize the president for this lack of leadership he doesn't seem to be able to find a way or 2 to relate to what really is going on here and he sees everything in very very much black and white no pun intended to really that's the situation right now i think and it's a fair assessment well if protesters will be able to maintain the momentum of this protest movement what does that mean for the upcoming elections in november. that means that the sitting president is in more trouble regarding his reelection bid.

latest poll suggests that democratic presidential candidate joe biden is leading with a widening gap before president donald trump even in those if you states where donald trump surprised everybody 2016 and took the states and won the vote. and the president seems to be keenly aware of this now the democratic party would probably . try and hone in on what the african-american community wants others to experts and observers to call now became a movement and call now a movement so this is going to be interesting what the impact will be that it will have an impact is absolutely clear that on the months in washington thank you time now for a quick look at the other stories making headlines around the world people in tripoli have celebrated the withdrawal of forces loyal to libyan strongman khalifa
