from the english democrats party on this. why have we got the statue of a man who sold millions of africans into bondage and slavery ripped operate them babies from their mother's breast separated families killed maimed and murdered millions of africans but he gave money to charity so we should have a statue of him in our town square we have to look at the full history of the of the slave trade was going on for thousands of years before europeans arrived africans were enslaved africans and selling them to the arabs way before we got there and it's actually quite unfair to judge the past by today's standards and today's models so familiar ates is part of the history but it really got to be showing the full history of what was going on at the time and not just to be a seen and to european issue against the slave trade when the slave trade was very predominant across the entire continents at that signing so for me you look at the

history of but we've got to put it into context julie the fifty million people who are not a ransom. for what we know and redesign and find here that day historians of the time are all consensual around that figure so i think it is you need to get your facts straight all depends what the plot is going to be saying because you've got to put things into context of what was going now you all the guest is just going on a complete. whatever whatever point he was trying to put forward whatever argument he was trying to put forward is actually been lost and he's actually around now you all the guesses this man is already granted us what. should be trying to put forward i'm going to pluck there then you have to make sure that you put it into context of what was happening around the world we shouldn't be imagining and celebrating colton it should be either bristol. z.m.

of shame which he can go in and all the ardor of colonial aspects and relics of the past can go in but i don't way it should be contextualized as the most horrific period in bristol's history you cannot george historical event by today's standards you have to look at what was going on at the time more blacks was enslaved by blacks than there were by the europeans so it needs to man as well it's only a law and why why why critical why why r t why are you subjecting me to the most ignorant and based racist. rewrite have been st a week earlier in the. name of the white man who's got no idea now we normally emerge to comment on with girls later meant more blacks was enslaved by blacks than they were by the europeans so he needs to needs to actually look and stop being very hypocritical. the theme of alleged russia meddling has touched a multitude of very as in recent times and scenes from presidential elections in

the us to the independence push in spain's council on your region and with not celebrating its sixtieth anniversary it's a partly gone into orbit. looks like we've had fifty two american astronauts launched by the russians what's interesting is not a single one of them have been african-american none of our african-american astronauts have ever been launched by the russians and so i mean since two thousand and eleven no african-american astronauts from nasa have been in space it had the opportunity it does raise the question what's going on are the russians were using to launch after american astronaut. if that is the case i have never heard that. certainly i will start asking that question now that you meant that but i have not heard that and i am unaware if

that's the. little. little i seriously do not believe it was the russians are russian colleagues partly because i've been through the training with them and i think. i was able to develop really good working relationships with everyone there and. using a testament to that it was that i think some of the people there may have known that nasa the speaking of doing this but they were adamant that i had to complete all of the training little.

well we also heard from an aerospace engineering professor who explained it was likely medical restrictions that prevented jeanette's eps from taking part in the expedition. you know i wasn't there to hear the statement but i can tell you that i have african i have i've been accepted quite well by my colleagues from russia like people from our ross cosmos and the killed in that sort of applied mathematics and i personally as an african-american of never experienced any sort of discrimination from any of my russian colleagues if nasa decided to pull astronauts eps you know from from flight i don't we assume that there is some sort of physical reason. you know why that happened i'm not i'm not privy to her medical. information. so back down on earth the european union has given more details about

how it plans to help member states deal with the influx of migrants to the continent as it attempts to quell the munting discord over the crisis charlotte dubin ski has more. we suggesting could pay up to six thousand. migrant to host them in secure migrant centers here in europe the e.u. as we know has been searching for a political solution for some time now to deal with the tens of thousands of migrants that have been coming across the mediterranean to european shores for the last three years already in two thousand and eighteen we've seen around eighteen thousand people rifle over the next tailoring in c. in two thousand and seventeen that was one hundred and twenty thousand people and in two thousand and sixteen it was even more around one hundred eighty one thousand people making the crossing and landing in europe and as we know that many countries on the mediterranean have dealt with that and so the e.u.

has been looking for this political solution to try and ease some of the tensions within the bloc particularly by italy who recently talked about the fact that it would close its ports to my quince. if you know i want to put an end to this human trafficking which puts thousands of lives at risk in the same way that we raise the issue for the aquarius who raises the bustles that followed. but other countries i'm hinting at from what instead of accepting the report of the migrants are objects of the same want as north korea to protect the external borders if you rip . one of them well we have had a little bit of a row back from italy in the last few days it's now said that while this new idea is on the table and it's being thrashed out it will allow us to talk for the next five weeks or so and those centers the idea would be to be able to process more efficient the asylum claims that those who reach european song from mediterranean

countries well the european commission white paper which has suggested this idea since it will come out of the european budget now as we know the european budget is paid as a percentage of g.d.p. by the members of the european union so logic countries with logic e g p's pay more such as germany for example that might cause some anger and annoyance in germany where we know that there has been some resistance to the tens of thousands of migrants who've come into the country over the last three years. he's facing existential challenges if we do establish an effective border patrol in germany and europe we will experience a meltdown in europe and germany and i don't want. we have to solve a problem and the problem is called to avoid the repetition of the year twenty fifteen so people unhappy with the fact that they feel their mood is secure and happy with paying for this so what we'll see is this logic countries possibly

contributing more to this new plan which may appease the smaller countries making the much more happy to receive migrants but at the end of the day will people be questioning whether countries like germany are essentially now going to be buying themselves out of this crisis. a football player of turkish origin has quit the german national team saying he was abused for a few. also with the turkish president and used as a scapegoat for germany's per twenty eighteen world cup performance tayyip erdogan has given his backing to mazen dualism. such races treatment towards the young man for his religious beliefs is unacceptable he has given his to the german national team you know was a photo with one back in may that resulted in anger from politicians the german football association and also the media all leveled.

he refuses to chantelle a national anthem it cools ad on his president and lets himself be photographed in front of pictures of muslim congress someone who does that is not german and someone who does that should not play football for the german national team such a photograph has a symbolic value and it is definitely not what is needed at the moment it is clear when you play for germany you represent the country and the german values. the photo of also with adequate and was a mistake it is still a mistake to say the reason as it also gave did not convince me at all he speaks of respect but that raises the question of how it is respectful for the victims about a fan's policy has respect for journalists who are in prison only because they have

done their job. and. what what we have seen here in the german team is basically a current also a reflection of what is going on in. their government that the german politics we have we have to lift the case on the impact. as a multi-cultural it's almost basically the. elements of the media off the green party also you know step this. and this is with the ringer we're just getting

a. look player himself took to twitter accusing the team's management of discrimination the german football association has emphatically rejected claims made by a whistle that they had been racist and disrespectful to him but the footballing body did accept either could have done more to protect him no doubt the top four perhaps quit some voices are continuing to criticize the midfielder while others are sympathizing with him. as you know the chancellor holds most with us still in high esteem and so does feel is a great footballer who has done a lot for the national football team he has now made a decision that must be respected if you find it so and in any case of the truth on the peach the fact that the germans were knocked out of the won't cop has little to do with mr oswald having his picture taken with president. or former manchester united on a street goalkeeper mark bosnich sais he understands very well how always all feels

as a son of an immigrant himself but you do have immigration there are going to be issues it is understandable when you are either a son grandson all six generation immigrant into the country to have feelings towards you so what's the country that you were originally from and also for the contrie where you're at. so i can understand where he's probably from very very well i think it was very unfair i mean germany had a very. pleasant i was there for me wasn't any better or any worse and wise if you look at the time so you everything you know he was actually quite ok he's been a wonderful servant for germany over the years he won the world cup twenty four years me. being the on several occasions before him and force yourself a wonderful career up. north stream to pipeline which is currently under construction is set to deliver natural gas from russia to germany

the project has been widely criticized by the u.s. which wants to supply its own liquid natural gas instead trump has also warned that the pipeline will make berlin too dependent on moscow but according to a recent poll it seems the majority of germans don't see it that way. i think it's a horrible thing that you have a pipeline coming from russia and i believe that germany is going to be getting fifty sixty or even i've heard numbers of seventy percent of their energy coming in from russia. and how can you be working for peace and working from strength when somebody has that kind of power of your country i don't think it's good you're not working from a strike you've given up all of your strength i think it's very bad for germany very bad for the german people well this is what we know the pipeline will be around twelve hundred kilometers long it's a multi billion euro venture between russia and five international companies and runs next to the original nord stream pipeline and will double the amount of gas

being transferred nord stream today is said to be fully operational from next year we spoke to an economist to say he's the project is the best way for germany to me that's growing demand for natural gas this is a matter of a great opportunity for germany to have another infrastructure but it supplies us with natural gas we just need it in germany without being able to be blackmailed unfreeze in between every american foreign policy. under the duty that they have to change a closer relationship between russia and germany are you have to is not in the position anymore to make big names because germany now after the sanctions and after the nazi behavior of them are.
