a 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 are 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 discussing a parent rift in russia following last weekend stunning events. and what that means for the war in your area that goes out to this crisis, we can but a week up within this, it's a great 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 and a pair or a 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 alert 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 vigil tuning to vandalism, to some as cause. we're again see. so light, it's the 3rd day of and raced over. now you're killing all the officer who shelton has now being charged. some say the problem goes much data when they talk 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. if they decide to kill someone, 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 to happen to my own children. my eldest is 11, it could be him in 5 years dying from a gun should. would this really needs to stop public storage. these have struggled for days to control biases. probably to use just had been to town whole outside the northern city of leels, with public transport and paris also tank. it's it. a trim and bust services. and super regions has been shut down. really cool. maybe there are other ways of discussing this problem, rather than making trouble for people going to work about off point is coming in

metal. the government is deploying 40000 offices and sees that will take a 0 tolerance approach to any torch things that the mother and a dozen police stations are bad rags have been attacked. they have shown great professionalism and very difficult conditions. and i want to read it to the right of my support and confidence in them. i am standing by that side or if you demo because it's fed up with the interest receiving just use have been announced in some areas on the outskirts of paris as far as he's brace from wolf theory. and joining us now from paris, 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? people are obviously very upset over the incentive for the 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 magistrate's court. there, there's a lot of progress really brought big in the fact that again, motions are running high and we're seeing lot of action the streets and choose approaches both peaceful and those of language. and to times so tensions, tensions are quite high right now. so to make sure i understand correctly, do you think the fact that someone has been charged, we'll go some way toward the easing pensions here. that is up to you. the community is obviously in question on the go around, i think. and it's hard to tell. we'll see how this evening progresses at the same time. well, 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 i think we're ready to be even for the capitol region and suffer for paris. there are on limitations on a bus service trans service this evening. people are not gonna be able to move quite normally. obviously the, the metro is so 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 controlled to a degree. so there's multiple factors, in fact, this moment, but each for, for communities we want to see an option. we 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 i've quite violent protests of times over the pendulum for i'm sure your people around the world were paying attention to that as where you know, the presidency and the government pushed through pension reforms to extend the age for treatment from 6060, to the very last protests on that. and from not also a lot of, uh, 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 instances where what that's already still remains at the top of mind for a lot of people here. um, not that it is just bring up that entire question again. well, thank you so much for giving us that context. that is linda gift hash from f 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 they're still there. today, this is not changed. we will discuss ukraine against the backdrop of the mute you need. we witnessed last weekend the meeting the result of the week on the demo site spots. there are tracts, the divisions within the russian system decided to i'm, i mean,

we see again that it simply irresponsible to pump military force in private hands. we bought tended to begin. gabriel. it's clear that goes out to this crisis. we can about a week up with the new. so it's a great today. well, russia is to in stable, unpredictable and dangerous, was yesterday, and that is a is the same right now. so you and native leaders voicing their concern about the turmoil and russia following him again. you for goshen and his wagner mercenary groups awarded rebellion over the weekends. a 2 day somebody got underway and brussels today when divisions and rushes leadership and the potential fall out for the war and ukraine. top of the agenda, boosting made his defenses and flooring of aid to ukraine were 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 and flag was very complex. and now a lot of the baltic countries, i'm polar and countries that are close to batteries 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 elite is, is that he's been entering this summit is a little bit of course and the initial reactions, whether they were monitoring closely. but not of the fact that the kremlin is trying to paint. and this is some sort of sort of western set top that very reluctant, it seems to say anything more than how this situation and the cracks that we're seeing and 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 summit, we won't see any major expressions or major changes in the positions of the european union's the 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 are telling me that they just didn't quite have the intelligence with the understanding or the prediction of what was going to happen. i think in the subsequent days that has changed a little bit. i think a lot of the leaders sought to in that room behind me once a tool for 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. moscow times and financial times report that general surrogate through v can, has been arrested on suspicion of involvement and provisions failed rebuttal in the new york times. also says that serve you can had advanced knowledge of progressions plans. he was ones the face of which is war in ukraine. so a sort of beacon nickname to general armageddon for his brutality. putin

sent him to ukraine to turn the tide. he took command of an army in christ is in retreats and reeling up to defeats on the battlefield. sort of the can you began making his reputation in chechnya into 2 thousands where he ordered reprisals against civilians. he then commanded forces in syria in support of his government. he or the silver brutal bombing of rebel held a lat pole in 2016. the following year preaching avoided him. the hero of russian metal. the country is highest on the we have sort of a can in command 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 lady gonna seem of took his job and sort of beacon became his deputy when involved in a group made it small on must go. so to beacons, loyally towed the line. yep, it is. oh, i assume i heard shoot a stop a junior go to 0. to the enemy is just waiting for the internal political situation one to worse than in our country. now 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 measure,

measure slides. i do believe that he's probably been detained is being investigated . but really what, who needs to do to reestablish his authority is something that is far. busy more grandiose than just a couple of interrogations, interests. 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 in new about the mutiny 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 an authoritarian, 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 meet crane has played out. and i think it indicates that this authoritarian meter and 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 that 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 to himself, questions whether he has the authority and the ability to actually craft down to the extent that he thinks that he probably needs to. so let's talk about the states here. um we've heard joseph burrell, but used top double, not warning that a weaker proof 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 rush. 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 and russia, and may be considered using this as a pre tests to bring troops home from a failing or a new crane. 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 cooking now . and hopefully they'll take the one that's more reasonable by bringing troops out . general john tiger, i really appreciate your insights i believe are stronger when they're originally diverse. i also believe that while town creates a hard work are everywhere across this country, opportunity is not we cannot just 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 decisions to band 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 thank you for having me. this is a major rolling up, 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 is nothing is done to stop the real negative impact that this decision can have. it will mean

a real precipitous de cried in the number of students, a coach, african americans, but it let channels, you know, hispanic americans and native americans in universities. indeed, one study said that if you eliminated a firmer to action uh at harvard as 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 fragment of action position in court. how does a drastic outcome? i would like to take a step back and help our international audience understand what exactly a formative action is and, and how does it 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 got to understand the prior to that of time there was what you would call y spread just this is racial segregation. and that wretched racial 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 their wealthier neighborhoods, they show discrimination in our country is largely a chevy to vote, to the lack of equal opportunity and education. and so if you destroy the

educational foundation for people of 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 equal income. now that the court has ruled, how effective would executive action be legally? is there 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 drops all of these barriers that you use that you know, negatively affect people of color such as the f, a t, t, the 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 biased 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 g, or 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 univers. ready it is her, written this, it is such a new re sure of the truth of our history. so yes, we gotta do more. we gotta overturn this case. eventually we gotta, we gotta look at reform the supreme court itself. their court is not rivers they have and it has huge organizational operating principles. you've been reading about all the scam, those of weird. yeah. taking money from the nearest and ruling in their favor. so there's a huge problems going on with our court. i'm sorry 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, when i 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 says and they said, well, you know, you can, he's almost race to determine what, how that back back to them and uh and mad it helped him with brain special attributes to the student body interface right there, essays, but let me be very clear when ever use economic disadvantage in this country. it's

favors 20 flights of terrible every economic disadvantage program because it's more, por wise and 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 benefit 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 just state 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 year old is found in the fisher case that affirmative action was foreign years before the greater case of the file bit of firm to actually was fine. uh,

so all of these, um, i think any illogically driven um, little decisions by this court will not stand. and i wanna also point out that this court rush to judgment to one of these cases before it was even decided by the circuit court. the inks, as they were to get rid of a firm and to add either to a tight. okay. must mean benson. yeah, yeah. it did break down a $6.00 to $3.00 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, to the point clear positions, international perspective. after the wagner group short lived revolt and russia, ukraine is trying to take advantage of the instability of its enemy. but there's

growing concern, cooking and the russian army could escalate further awhile back on to a corner. so on to the point we ask, after pretty guardians, we built how street system to point the a special edition of complex zone with tim to baskin. this is a border crossing point from moldova into ukraine. familiar with the con moment between ukraine and russia is roughly a 100 kilometers away. the big question dominates here, is where the mold does the next target. steve, d, w. the russians no longer need the baltic states. why should name,

there's no gold. it's only just practice at the base and will clock 7 months before russia attacked ukraine. a field team documents, daily life of the town. how are the people who for dealing with the growing tension, they change their world. we are with, you know, when i me insight starts drawing on dw for a short moment. it looked like vladimir putin and his russian empire were beginning to falter, triggered not by the courage of crating and counter offensive, but by its own mercenaries. the wagner group, we usually to stabilize for seems in far away contracts. ukrainian army is
