a global financial. spicer welcome to the program. and we start in the u.s. where thousands of people are gathering in tulsa oklahoma for president donald trump's 1st campaign rally in more than 3 months the city has a history of racial violence and there are fears the trams visit could spark clashes between protesters the date of the event is also being criticized coming just a day after june 18th the day marking the end of slavery in the u.s. . and i'm joined now by correspond safe and zealand's who is in a tulsa outside the arena where the rally is scheduled what is going on there right now. you know we're standing in downtown tulsa oklahoma and here to my. to my right is

a security fence build up and right be it right there on this side to a camera can show you this is actually the checkpoint which lets those hundreds of trump supporters who have already gathered here in a few hours getting closer to the arena have to go through some security checks but as you can see right down right behind me here there's hundreds of people here now and the crowd is growing by the minute and they're quite excited quite excited to see their president they say. some of them dozens of them have camped out here all night all week so to speak and now that's their day and they're very excited so far everything is fairly peaceful the occasional very patriotic chant and that's the situation there will be thousands more coming here that's for sure but i'm sure and this and i want to ask you about because you know donald trump has given. us a disk and cord messages on how to deal with

a coronavirus whether or not his followers were following the health guidelines that we can see our viewers can see right behind you the pretty pretty close to each other. well let me step aside for the camera here to the side you see this. nothing social distancing is just right out the window nothing happening like this nobody social distancing here and lot of people are not wearing masks and we talked to some they really think covert 19 a lot of them think your work 19 is a over or never was actually existant so they declined to to understand or say for them covert 19 was never a problem will be never a problem is probably always a hoax so that's a little bit surprising a disconcerting actually i have to say because of course wearing a mask is protecting the other person right not just yourself the other person well this falls on deaf ears here in this crowd yeah well precisely i think that people

around the world have got that message of police though there in tulsa are they worried about clashes between pro truck people. of course they are not right now at this hour about the late of the day and into the evening when the rally actually starts 7 pm local here in tulsa there will be even more law enforcement on the streets you see the security fence here and the national guard deployed 250 of them. actually and right behind the camera they are camera they are few you can just see that. this is all the secret service f.b.i. investigation metropolitan police sheriff's department i could go on and on and on there's lots of law enforcement here and yes there are concerns that protest just like lives matter protesters who are scheduled to protest just 2 miles away on detroit street. that this will cause some friction or maybe even violence

i wouldn't go there and say like this is a done deal there will be violence but it is of course possible it's very emotional here people are very emotional those people here and of course black like mad of protesters are and. could go any way ok well let's hope nothing happens in any case. different sequences on the ground in tulsa oklahoma thanks very much. and the movement for racial justice in the u.s. has spread around the world prompting other countries to face up to racism in their own histories our next report is from belgium where an historian is hoping to capitalize on this moment to get her country to confront a past marked by brutal racism. finally i'm betsy feels a little less alone. for years beyond historian has tried to challenge the way belgium deals with its colonial past now she's among thousands calling for the removal of all monuments of the country's longest serving monarch the man who

headed up the colonial regime in what is now the democratic republic of congo king leopold the 2nd. we all know that both it shows have a symbolic bell were and i'm totally confused out for some people. they are they don't want us to demonstrate or they will don't want people to demonstrate and to see with these not because they want to keep those issues there they want to keep out in earth of inferior team. that she was born in belgium but had to fight racism all her life she struggled to forge a career in the arts facing many rejections now she has opened her own gallery that spotlights the work of black artists because the risk here is very subtle and this is what me says makes it so dangerous and so

home food too. there are so many examples like oh if you're looking for an apartment you have to say on this one yeah that you know don't waste my time on black. statues of leopold the 2nd like this one in the seaside resort of austin are everywhere but there's no mention that his lavish public spending was financed by congolese robber and no mention of the millions of congolese people killed in the process instead the official website directs tourists to a walking tour highlighting how the king's achievements bolstered the town's prestige. since the protests started a number of statues and busts have been taken down. but of origins are busy restoring others this history professor things that sends the wrong message. to main problem of the belgian and this is again a difference with other former colonial matter poles is that we do not have any

monuments for victims of the colonization or heroes of anti communities. unvetted she is collecting her son she wants him to learn as much as possible about his family's history. her own mother still remembers the brutal reality of colonial rule and. if they've already been initially. they punish people who couldn't meet their rubber quota by cutting off their hands yes he's seen it myself here and sometimes when they were punishing african people they forced them to turn their backs to stare at the sun and then people going to say that this is a year 8 it is good then you have a good. betsy knows that many parents of congolese descent do not like to share on pleasant memories but for her son and the generations to come she feels

crimes that are not narrowly defined at least from what we've seen today beijing can interfere whenever it sees it necessary to deal with what it sees as infringements of national security. and we also spoke with correspondent phoebe kong in hong kong and asked how the territory is taking all this. well this was something news the handset has set shock waves across the city as mentioned the content of the law is still a very fake at this stage but this is worrying enough for many citizens in hong kong and the specially the opposition came out some of the pro-democracy figures they are they they criticize the new legislation is actually night man born a city that on they they are afraid that it is going to hinder on their remaining traditional independence of a city because the judge just will be appointed by the chief executive which is not

democratically elected in hong kong they say they are afraid that the remaining independence judiciary and the power to check and balance well i fade away under the new legislation so on people when the affray and also the new department of the national security agency on there are so many details that we don't know but opposition came they figured out this is going to be a tool for every change a crackdown on democracy movements like. that was correspondent phoebe kong reporting. during a covert 19 pandemic major professional sports leagues in europe have already resumed work like the bonus they get here in germany england's premier league as well as spain's link up however in the united states a return to business as usual for pro leagues suffered a blow as outlets golf to hockey tested positive for the coronavirus. the bonus league it was the 1st major sports league to restart during kobe 19 on tuesday bar
