this is day that we need live from berlin millions across the united states of slavery juneteenth holiday is being celebrated amid a nationwide movement against racism and police brutality but there is concern that the forthcoming trump campaign could reignite racial tensions on the program does hold a virtual summit to debate plans for 750000000000 euro recovery funds that are deep divisions about how best to spend the blocks economic recovery. i'm just cape town prepares for corona virus infections to peak at the end of the month will ask why

the city you see cases and more deaths than the rest. welcome to the program millions of people in the united states are commemorating the end of slavery on estate $865.00 the news that president lincoln had declared all slaves free 2 and a half years earlier finally reached texas june 19th also known as june 18th is not only a day of celebration but also a moment of reflection on enduring racial injustice in the u.s. this year it comes amid a period of a national soul searching following the death of george floyd under the name of a white police officer president trump was forced to postpone a campaign rally planned for juvenile after widespread outcry.

thank you act life matter 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 it's greenwich district was a bustling have of black owned businesses known as black wall street it was razed to the ground 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 why rioters broke through those barriers and invaded the greenwood district and the massacre had begun. 99 years later many tells the 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 green with this very 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 tells and then what we do and they don't become

a sponge bath on siemens welcome stuff on things that tends well. we're here in greenwood actually which was just mentioned in the piece and yes this situation here is tense days definitely something of that in the air you can see right now because we just had a massive rain band coming through here rainstorm and thunderstorm 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 are 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 wants to be today 5 of the 19th they have the trump 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 usually 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 is experienced that and and called it a fist in the face from the president and then the president tweeted again this like they should actually thank him because he made 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 'd will take place is on the curfew right now this will be lifted tomorrow when the president arrives for the. trump supporters 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. here in europe e.u.

leaders have concluded a virtual summit to debate a plan to help the bloc emerge from the crisis the video conference was the 1st step in what are expected to be difficult negotiations about a proposed 750000000000 euro the coverage and divisions remain over the fund size who will pay and how the money should be distributed. one last quick hello from the french president. and then it was time to get down to business european leaders were locked in talks for more than 4 hours not face to face but rather pixel to pixel to discuss one of the most far reaching projects in the e.u.'s history 750000000000 euros are at stake. the german chancellor angela merkel and her counterparts have already addressed one of the most pressing issues. nobody here is questioning the fact that the commission needs to borrow money after the meeting though many questions remain unanswered

such as whether it really needs to be 750000000000 euros they were guarding the amount there are some who think it is too much there are some only want grants or find grants much better than others are more geared towards loans that they include denmark's prime minister met afraid together with the netherlands sweden and austria. on the budget to stay within reason so that it helps europe we don't want danish taxpayers to have to pay a substantial bill that's out of the question. negotiations are likely to continue in mid july in the flesh in brussels. so let's get more from the w.'s at chief international editor richard walker who joins us from brussels welcome richard. 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 day 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 essentially all that they 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 750000000000 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 there not as minor 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 or 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 fun 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 use own 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. a german chancellor angela merkel has announced that e.u. leaders have agreed i 6 month extension to sanctions against russia this comes a day after german prosecutors accuse the kremlin of ordering the killing of a former chechen rebel commander lin last year russian president vladimir putin is called the from the sanctions during the coronavirus pandemic sanctions were imposed in 2014 over russia's role in the conflict in ukraine. and i will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world 3 explosions in pakistan's southern province of sindh have killed 4 people including 2 soldiers at least a dozen people were also not injured in the attacks one of the blast was in karate the country's largest city killing anyone and injuring several outside the center

janeiro are reopening. let's go straight to 2 rio de janiero who have joined our correspondent the materials that abbott's welcome it is just under 48000 deaths in registered in brazil is there any sign that the epidemic has yet peaked. it seems that we are now at the climax of the crisis but it's still not sure if the number of victims we are now about $1200.00 per day if this day the number will increase or not sure is that many hospitals are working to full capacity especially in sao paulo and here especially in the interior of this big state there we can see a record high in the last days in rio de janeiro and then man now it's really hard affected regions and we can see now some relaxation regarding the

victims and the numbers well despite times of thousands of new cases every day the country is reopening give us a sense of what things are like they are in rio he region a are it's especially strong to see every day you can see that people are going out also in groups and there's no real isolation anymore a visible shopping's reopened on tuesday. the soccer is back. yesterday the regional league here in the region here was started to play again despite the high numbers off of victims still here in region a row so life is getting back to normal but there are also many critics to watch this development now the president both of our own has become known as something of a coronavirus skeptic is there any sign of his attitude changing as the country's death toll mounts. not really he's still in this mood

and he's denying the impact of the current crisis to brazilians to its people so yeah he's not really acting in this in this way both sonora has furthermore a really strong political crisis yes the day his education minister stepped back so he is highly under pressure and this is really a 2nd challenge for president also naru these days think about material in rio de janeiro. now to the south african city of cape town where officials are bracing for infections to peak at the end of june or beginning of july this is pretty especially hard hit with more than half of the country's 83000 confirmed cases located in the western cape region e.-w. south africa correspondent 100 crease reports from cape town. the cape town international convention center is now a field hospital with around $1000.00 beds cape town the center of the coronavirus
