time democratic process of much of the world to a standstill but millions are still on the move playing conflict persecution and discrimination demands high commissioner for refugees tells you the international community must agree prioritize migration policy despite the pounding. i feel girl welcome to the program millions of people in the united states are commemorating the end of slavery on this day in 865 the news that a president lincoln had declared to all slaves free finally reached texas june the 19th also known as juneteenth is not only a day of celebration but also a reflection on enjoying racial injustice in the u.s. he she and it comes amid a period of national soul searching in the wake of george floyd's death and when a white police officer. the president's trip was forced to postpone

a rally planned for june the 19th after a widespread outcry. back live from after protesters gathered across the u.s. on friday to commemorate the end of slavery the president's choice of this day for a campaign rally sparked a huge backlash so too did the location tulsa oklahoma is the site of the worst incident of racist violence in u.s. history in 1021 its greenwich district was a bustling hub of black owned businesses known as black wall street it was razed to the grant by white mobs some 300 black people were killed. and while our black men fought courageously to defend their homes and businesses to defend their families they were eventually so outnumbered and outgunned that white rioters broke through those barriers and invaded the greenwood district and the

massacre had begun. 99 years later many tulsa residents are still affected by racism they say donald trump is not welcome our community is still emotionally charged we are still hurt we are still hurting. and suffering and this is not a time for him to visit the greenwood district but the rally will take place only on saturday and there is little hope here that it will contribute to unity and healing. not far from the greenwood district trump supporters have been camped out for days and thousands more are expected to arrive on saturday blackflies matter protesters have also planned a demonstration and fearing the potential for violence the city has imposed a curfew around the venue for trump's rally the president himself has tweeted a warning to anti racism protesters traveling to tulsa. you will not be treated like you have been in new york seattle or minneapolis it will be

a much different scene straight to tell so then what are we doing to you don't become despondent stuff on siemens welcome stuff on things that tends well. we're here in the greenwood actually which was just mentioned in the piece and yes this situation here is tense there's definitely something of that in the air you can't see right now because we just had a massive rain band coming through here rain storm and thunder storm and just a few minutes ago this was fairly crowded here still people making their way down the street to a large place where reverend. reverend al sharpton will address the crowd later today however in perspective to its tomorrow yes. it is tense and people here in greenwood in african-american population here in tulsa not really happy about the president a showing up and b.

about that many in the thousands from supporters camping out downtown so the campaign was shut jools to be today 5 of the 19th campaign did move it what did they say about this supposed coincidence of timing and indeed location. yeah i don't think that they were even easily aware of the misstep in time either and they became aware of the missteps then the president tweeted. ok out of respect for juneteenth i will postpone it for a day and we'll do it on saturday the 20th that was all great then people here still said i'm sorry this is a slap in the face and not just that they actually experienced this experience that and and called it a feast in the face from the president and then the president tweeting again this like they should actually thank him because he may now juneteenth famous for american people so i would say he did not really help to ease.

to bring he's on the on the people here the african-american population in tulsa on maybe across the united states looks like they're expecting quite a big turnout that would have been just been looking at pictures of people camping out in the streets thousands of people turning up what what's being done to keep them safe in these coronavirus times. the mayor of tulsa has just declared a curfew curfew in effect actually today during daytime so not a curfew starting in the evening to what's the night and then in the morning everybody can go about its business that's not happening here already curfew in effect for today the area at the be ok the bank of a club home our center where the campaign rally will will take place is on the curfew right now this will be lifted tomorrow when the president arrives for the. trump support us to attend and then right after the campaign rallies over the curfew will be in effect again there will be massive police and even some national

guard on the streets so let's see how this will work out tomorrow thank you for that stuff and tell us. now to europe where you leaders have concluded a video conference of which they've been trying to agree a package of financial aid for those countries most affected by the coronavirus pandemic the virtual summit was the 1st step in what are expected to be difficult negotiations on a $750000000000.00 euro coronavirus recovery for he leaders will meet face to face next month for the 1st time since february. speaking after the meeting commission president and sort of on the line said she was confident that a deal could soon be reached. the 1st discussion was in my view very positive leaders unanimously agreed that the severity of this crisis justifies and the bishop's common response one that come minds solidarity investment and reforms and i was also glad to hear that many leaders stress that we

must do everything in our power to reach an agreement soon in the european council before the summer break so let's get more from d.w. is our chief international editor richard walker who joins us from brussels welcome richard a sort of on the line there sounding very optimistic is the consensus really that solid. well i think there is confidence that an agreement will eventually be reached but not really because of anything that came out of this video conference that has just taken place by all accounts there was very little progress made there it was really just a bit of an exchange of views and exchange of perspectives and those perspectives in many areas remain very very far apart but i think it's really because there's a there is a broad recognition of the political pressure to come up with a solution here to come up with an agreement we've had

a leader after leader from also love underline who we saw in the clip there through angela merkel many times in recent days but also in recent weeks saying that this is the most serious economic crisis that europe has faced in its history the history of the european union so for europe to be saying that sort of thing but then not to be able to find a common solution a common way forward would be a huge embarrassment it would open the doors potentially to further growth and populism on the continent there are huge stakes specifically for germany because germany within the next couple of weeks takes over the rotating presidency of the european council and so this issue moves right the top of angela merkel's to do list for 2020 so what are the biggest obstacles to a deal. well there are a lot of think that essentially all that they've really agreed on is the need for there to be a recovery fund and one quite important thing that has rubicon that has been

crossed is this idea that the european commission will borrow the money centrally on the financial markets and then distribute it so there's consensus on that much but almost everything else is still open the size of the fund the commission wants 700 $50000000000.00 euros there's a small group of countries that have come to be known as the frugal 4 who say that's too much should the money be distributed as loans that have to be paid back or grants that is essentially a free transfer of money there's big debate about that according to what criteria should the money be distributed so all of these are very very big questions the nots mind the details of this is going to be the source of an awful lot of haggling in the weeks to come so is there a deadline on this or committee just talk about this forever they they certainly can't just talk about this forever and there are all sorts of deadlines i mean one kind of looming one a rather trivial sounding one is that people want to be able to take a summer break so they want to try and get this sorted out before that but there

are many deadlines beyond that parliament's national parliaments $27.00 of them will most likely have to ratify whatever comes after that that's a process that takes a long time countries want to get their hands on this money so there's that pressure too and also connected to all of this not just about this recovery fund but they're also debating the e.u.'s budget for the next 7 years its previous budget runs out at the end of this year so there's huge pressure to also come up with the budget for the next 7 years because otherwise the e use only budget for its operations will run out at the end of this year so many many deadlines being faced here which only adds to that political pressure trying to keep them busy richard walker thank you. well start with europe for our german chancellor angela merkel says hey you lead us have agreed to a 6 month extension to sanctions against russia you know what comes a day after german prosecutors accuse the kremlin of ordering the killing of a former chechen rebel commander in berlin last year russian president vladimir

putin had called for relief from the sanctions joining the coronavirus pandemic which was imposed sanctions were imposed in 2040 over russia's role in the conflict and. now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world 3 explosions in pakistan's southern province of sindh of killed 4 people including 2 soldiers at least a dozen people who were also injured one of the blast was in karate pakistan's largest silly city killing one and injuring several outside are said to distributing cash handouts from the government because of the pandemic. canada's prime minister justin should have says he's disappointed at china's decision to formally charge 2 canadians with spying the pair were detained 18 months ago shortly after huawei executive man once who was arrested in canada china's move comes weeks after a canadian judge ruled the proceedings to extradite mismatching to the u.s.
