foremost, every price of being you joined the country like to keep taking on the powers that be the risk. everything john, do dar activists, journalists and politicians living in exile the way to which of the list for their mission, what drives them. people need to know what is happening that our series guardians of truth watch. now on youtube dw documentary as a teenager, shot dead at a traffic stop by french police, public anger has spilled into the streets across france, and it appears to be escalating. protesters are demanding accountability, pointing to a long history of systemic racism in law enforcement. the french prosecutor now says the officer involved is facing preliminary murder charges, but for now,

$40000.00 police are on the streets of france to try and quell the unrest. claire richardson in berlin, and this is the day the clearly the emotion that comes with it, that the young man calls for contemplation uncomfortable. we want to show that whitney angry and that we want justice for these are not moments of emotion. these moments of organized targets it extremely fonts attacks. the police make the rules and do what they want. if they decide to kill someone, they just do it. also on the day you leaders discussion or parent rift in russia following last weekend, stunning events. and what that means for the war in ukraine,

the 3 as that goes out to this crisis, we could we could put in this. it's a great day. hello, i'm clear richardson, thank you so much for joining us. tensions remain high across france tonight after days of protest over the fatal shooting of a teenager by police. the 17 year old was killed on tuesday in a paris suburb during a traffic stop. the officer who fired the shot has been charged now with voluntary homicide. and today, memorial march, led by the victim's mother, also ended with violence. $40000.00 police are now on alerts across the country. 17 year old now use mother lead a fire crowd and what started as a peaceful policy for his son. but simmering team, sions. voyles on people through predict dogs that police who used to guess

the, the vigil tuning to vandalism, to some as cause. we're again see, so lights, it's the 3rd day of on race to of and now you're killing while the officer who shows him has now being charged. some say the problem goes much deeper when it comes to live in france, which is supposed to be in equality, freedom, fraternity, like but that doesn't exist anymore. the police make the rules and do what they want before they decide to kill somebody. and they just don't do it the truth because i would like it to never happen again. it shouldn't be possible to die like this for no reason. i wouldn't want it happened to my own children. my eldest is 11, it could be him in 5 years. dying from a gun should wound. this really needs to stop public storage. these have struggled for days to control biases purchased as have been to

town whole outside the northern city of leels, with public transport and paris also targets it trim and bus services. and super regions have been shut down. really cool. maybe there are other ways of discussing this problem, rather than making trouble for people going to work. the point is coming in metal. the government is deploying 40000 offices and sees that will take a 0 tolerance approach to any torching dec mother and it definitely police stations are barracks, have been attacked. they have shown great professionalism and very difficult condition, city, and the one to read it to the right to my support and confidence in them. i am standing by the side or the demo because it showed up with the interest receiving can just use have been announced in some areas on the outskirts of paris as well. sorry, she's brace for more fury. and joining us now from parents,

as linda give tash a journalist with the news agency, a f p window at the officer involved has now been put under formal investigation. what can you tell us? the people are obviously very upset over the incident. busy last 48 hours, there's a lot of emotions running high right now within the community. the young man is dead. i did the investigation is progressing quite rapidly. this talk that they have had this officer in question, ready to change, already bring him to the magistrates court. there there's a lot of progress really brought big in the fact that again, emotions are running high for seeing lot of action, the streets and choose approach us both peaceful and those are really into times so . ringback tensions are tensions are quite high right now. so to make sure i understand correctly,

do you think the fact that someone has been charged will go some way toward the easing tensions here? that that is up to the communities obviously. question um the people around i think i and it's hard to tell me, let me see how this evening progresses at the same time. wow. um we're, we're seeing obviously action being taken on the front of justice at the same time . we have communities where the uh that there, there's curfews being put into a fact and they were ready to be even for the capitol region and suffer for paris. there are limitations on um, best service and trans services evening. people are not gonna be able to move quite normally. obviously the, the, the metro is still running the underlying. so some ways we're running, but, you know, best services is going to be limited. so the movement of people is going to be obviously control to a degree. so there's multiple factors, in fact, this moment,

but each um for, for communities, one is the option who want to see justice. the fact that there is someone who is under a 100 and for my investigation does, does, should mean so yeah. so many protesters are saying that the death of this teenager is just the latest example of systemic racism inside french law enforcement and a culture of infinity. how big of a problem is police violence in france? and i think that keeping context on just the last few months of this year, not even looking earlier on we, we, we just come off the hills as of quite violent protests of times over the pendulum for i'm sure you have people around the world for paying attention to that as where you know the presidency and government to push through pension reforms to extend

the age for treatment from 6060 to the were a lot of protests on that and from not also a but it is, you know, that they, they, they bubbled up into violent action. people were injured, many people were arrested. and at that time there was a lot of criticism over the excessive use of force police. and that was called the question. and so for this to happen just you know, months practically weeks after those incidences where what that's really still remains the top of mind for a lot of people here. um not that it's just bring up that entire question again. well, thank you so much for giving us back context. that is when to give tash from s p really appreciate your time. thank you. are still to come on the day the u. s. supreme court strikes down affirmative action at american universities will talk about a ruling with far reaching consequences for racial justice. discrimination still

exists and there are today does not change. we will discuss ukraine against the backdrop of the mute you need. we witnessed last weekend the meeting, the result of the weekend, the demo site spots. there are cracks. the distance within the russian system decided to i'm, i'm the, we see again that it simply irresponsible to pump military force in private hands. and we bought tended to be gave gabriel. it's clear that goes out to this crisis. we can about a week of putting this. it's a great today. well rush, i used to in stable, unpredictable and dangerous, was yesterday, and it's a, it's the same right now. and so you and native leaders voicing their concern about

the turmoil and russia following him. gainey for goshen and his wagner mercenary groups awarded rebellion over the weekends. a 2 day somebody got underway in brussels today when divisions and rushes leadership and the potential fall out for the war and ukraine, top of the agenda, boosting native defenses and flooring of aid to ukraine. we're also top priorities w, as jack parents and gave us his assessments. have a pretty worried, i mean, the domestic events of the weekend when progress in march. the volume agreed towards moscow. in fact, we're very complex and now we're looking at about 2 countries. i'm poland, countries that are close to by the roost, where we now know that for goes in, is that worried about what that means to have those mass and re fights are stationed so close to them? i think what we're seeing from the lead is, is that he's been entering this summit, is a little bit of caution, the initial reactions, whether they were monitoring closely, but not of the fact that the kremlin is trying to paint. and this is some side sort of western set, top that very reluctant,

it seems to say anything more than how this situation. and the crux that we're seeing in the russian structures affects them on affects the will in ukraine. they don't want to get involved in any of the internal politics in russia right now. i think that's good. that's probably why the end of this summer we won't see any major expressions or major changes in the positions of the european union's we need is one thing i will say when this will happened over the weekend, a number of senior officials across a number of e u capitals with telling me that they just didn't quite have the intelligence with the understanding or the prediction of what was going to happen. and i think in the subsequent days that has changed a little bit. i think a lot of the lead to something in that room behind me wants to talk to each other about how they can make sure that they're on the same page. that, that understanding the internal politics of russia, how it could affect them on the war. and ukraine now that summit is taking place and that reports of a possible purge at the highest levels of the russian military. and most gout times

and financial times report that general surrogate through beacon has been arrested on suspicion of involvement and provisions failed rebellion. and your times also says that serve you can had advanced knowledge of progressions plans. he was ones the face of which is war, a new crane. so okay, so that he can nickname to general armageddon for his brutality. putin sent him to ukraine to turn the tide. how he took command of an army in crisis in retreats and reeling after defeats on the battlefield. sort of the can you pick on making his reputation in chechnya into to thousands where he ordered reprisals against civilians. he then commanded forces in syria in support of its government. he or the silver brutal bombing of rebel held a lat pole in 2016 the following year to nibble with him. the hero of

russian metal, the country is highest on the we've sort of the can income and, and ukraine motion forces change tactics as winter sets in. they've begun to target, you cranes, energy infrastructure, plunging millions into darkness and cold and leaving them without water. toots in was pleased giving, so it'd be can yet another metal. but just a month later, he believed he must command this man the the color scheme of took his job. and so the beacon became his deputy when wagner group made it small on moscow, so to beacons loyally towed the line. yep, it is though. so my urge you to stop is a junior go to 0 to the enemy is just waiting for the internal political situation

one to worse than in our country. and the question now is whether he knew more than he was letting on. so with several russian generals out of public view now, is it a sign that one of your boots and has started a perch? i put that question to john tigers. i retired us brigadier general. so i think the biggest surprise in this is that we haven't seen more harsh, measured measures 5. i do believe that he's probably been detained, that is being investigated. but really what, who needs to do to re establish his authority is something that is far more grandiose. than just a couple of interrogations and arrests. and i'm surprised we haven't seen that in the last 4 days or so. indeed, if it is true that serve, you can want to reference top generals a new about them you me and didn't try to stop it. what does that tell us about putting his grip on power here? well, i think if you're going to be in a 3rd period, you need to have authority. and i think it's interesting to see that there are

probably many that sympathize with precautions, thoughts about frustration and how the word mute phrase is played out. and i think it indicates that this authoritarian leader into probably has a whole lot less authority then maybe we would have expected 6 days ago. what would you have potentially expected from putting into a search out authority? so i think that he needs to do some in order to do what to do, does successfully be very strong and strident in his crackdowns amongst those within the security establishment in russia to demonstrate his authority and to purge out those that are not oil. and the fact that he doesn't, our hasn't done that up to this point is probably indicative of the fact that putting himself questions, whether he has the authority and it has the ability to actually craft down to the extent that he thinks that he probably needs to so let's talk about the stakes here . um we've heard joseph burrell, but used top double. not warning that a week or 2. he is 8th grader danger. what is your take on is

a more unstable russia, a more dangerous russia here. i think in this case group has a couple of options. one of them would be to undertake this crack down that i think maybe he's showing part of now. but i think it's the ultimately once to begin authority. yes, to do something more grandiose. and one of those things could be the last out, externally, outside of russia. i think that's the danger that joseph is talking about there. but i think the better play for couldn't, would be to undertake a crack down. and most of security forces there in russia, and may be considered using this as a pre test to bring troops home from a failing war and ukraine. and show more security establishment presence on the streets of moscow and around russia. and i think one of those things is the only play for coo now, and hopefully you'll take the one that's more reasonable by bringing troops out, general and john tigers. really appreciate your insights. i really want to stronger when they're originally diverse. i also believe that while talent

creates a hardware are everywhere across this country, opportunity is not everywhere. we cannot let this decision be the last 4 years. the truth is, we all know discrimination still exist in america. to that was us president joe biden, reacting to the supreme court decision to ban race based admissions at american colleges. fight inside the court had effectively ended affirmative action, which has been used for decades to boost education opportunities for black americans and other minority groups. that policy has long been contested today, the supreme court voted 63 along conservative, liberal lines. the majority opinion saying that students must be treated based on their experiences as an individual, not on the basis of race. i'm very pleased to welcome barbara online, a lecturer at columbia law school. she's also the founder and president of the transformative justice coalition. thank you so much for taking the time to join us

on the day. now this is a you for having me. this is a major rolling that civil rights groups have probably been anticipating and watching for months. what will it mean for students seeking admission to you as soon a verse of these it will sadly means if nothing's done to stop the real negative impact that this decision can have. it will mean a real, precipitous decry and the number of students a code african americans, but it let channels, you know, hispanic americans and native americans in university is indeed one study said that if you eliminated a from a to action uh at harvard at you would see, especially that you was c 80 emissions of native americans if you

use some other approach that was being suggested by the proponents of this anti fragments of action, a position in court as a drastic outcome. i would like to take a step back and help our international audience understand what exactly are formative action is and, and how does that work? can you tell us how widely it has been used in college admissions until now as well? it has been a practice for about 50 years in the united states, but you gotta understand the prior to that time there was what you would call y spread. just fish, just racial segregation. and the registration of segregation continues by the way, in k through 12, which is the primary and secondary, you know, educational institutions. and it's all because, you know, african american students don't get the same course materials. the same books,

the same instructions, the same permanent teachers, none of it that way of school students receive and they are wealthier neighborhoods . they show discrimination in our country is largely a tribute of both to the lack of equal opportunity and education. and so you destroy the educational foundation for people, the color to go to the best colleges and universities in the country. then you make sure that they will never be able to have anything approximating equally come. now that the court has ruled, how effective with executive action be legally is there was something that president biden can do as well. he actually can sneak clips to at the press conference. he needs to really look hard at k through 12

education. and he also has the opportunity to say to these universities dropped all of these barriers that you use, that you know, negatively affect people of color such as the f, a t, t, b, a c, t. all these tests that we know don't really help predict who's going to be the best performer in colleges or universities, but they're just a way of screening out people. and unfortunately, they are highly culturally bias against low income students. and it's particularly a gives racial minorities. so it is imperative that we see a real change in the way that the universities don't operate. in fact, you know, during this whole litigation, i've always wary that how do you get harvard and

u. n. c, to appropriately represent black students, when they, for a year, who did us and us play labor's labor or to build both institutions. yet, this court ignores all of it. doesn't talk about the history, say good stuff and talked about the impact of slavery of use funds and labor to create these universities. it is her, written this, it is such a new re sure of the truth of our history. so yes, we got to do more, we got to overturn this case. eventually we got it. it's we gotta look at reform, the supreme court itself, there court is not repre pep and it has huge organizational operating principles. you've been reading about all the scam, those of word yeah, taking money from scenarios and rolling in their favorites. so there's

a huge problems going on with our court that are to jump in. i want to, i want to come back to, to this ruling at hand. and also you've mentioned those comments from joe biden speaking shortly after the ruling came down. i believe we have a clip of that and let's see if we can take a listen in what i propose consideration is a new standard for colleges taken to account the adversity a student is overcome once selecting among qualified applicants. i'm a student has, has overcome, had to overcome adversity on their path. education college should recognize in value that and barbara are when i want to get your thoughts here bite in there, he's not using the word raising. he almost seems to be echoing an argument from critics of affirmative action, but it's more important to look at socio economic hardship. what do you make of those comments? well, i think she's trying to get to get it to be part of the decision that said,

well, you know, you can ease someone's race to determine what, how that buy back to them. and uh and mad it helped didn't bring special attributes to the student body interface right there, essays. but let me be very clear when ever you use economic disadvantage in this country. it's favors 20 flights of care of every economic disadvantage program because there's more for why there are toward the are, you know, blacks in native americans and latinos in this country. they are number uh and they and also they get advantaged because they live in white neighborhoods. and benefits from middle class and upper class white internet i suppose there's, there's also the question of how do you measure adversity? right? and that's why they're, you know, that's another, you know,

reality here. when i speak that this decision is wrong headed. it's not going to stand, you don't number years, it will be reversed, and the court will return to serving and hiring is spreads the jets. because 10 years adult is found in the fisher case that affirmative action was foreign years before the greater case of the file bit of furniture actually was fine. uh, so all of these, um, i think any of logically driven little decisions by this court will not stand. and i wanna also point out that this court rush to judgment. it's one of these cases before it was even decided by the circuit court that inches they were to get rid of a firm to add or to adjudicate. it must mean benson. yeah, yeah, i did break down a 6 to 3 along those conservative liberal lines, as we've mentioned. i'm afraid that's all we have time for,

but i want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. that's barbara r one president and founder of the transformative justice coalition. really appreciate it. thank you. and that is our time on the day, but make sure to stay informed to stay engaged and stay in touch. you'll find us on social media at dw news, for now though, from all of us here at the day. thank you so much for spending part of your day with us. the
