council stay it's still not safe and. this is the. school that actually. good morning from russia to the 1st of june 2020 live from artie's world news h.q. moscow it's kevin owen here this out take you through the headlines in more detail than 1st all that huge news coming from america again another night of unrest across the united states where tens of thousands of protesters have again been venting their anger over the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police it's no week since george floyd died as a result of a minneapolis office a kneeling on his neck with cities ablaze ravaged in looted more than 4000 people have been arrested across the country.
3:02 am
so let's get a handle on where we are with it at the moment starting with washington d.c. where an initially peaceful march descended into another night of mayhem multiple fires breaking out near the white house earlier on sunday demonstrators marched through the city's downtown but is frustration the start of the build police used crowd control measures. was. wooed next look at this in minneapolis where floyd
3:03 am
died a tanker driver driving at some speed looks like his vehicle into protesters officials don't think despite all that that anyone was hit driver was then apparently assaulted by the protesters and he was briefly hospitalized he's been charged with assault road had been closed to traffic at the time for the march to take place thousands took and they held a minute's silence just before the incident. and this truck just came to playing its horns i thought people like lee was so close to getting hit by the truck and people were jumping in the cab like me finally got the truck to slow down a little bit the kid was just here it. was looking for the kids to yell. everything that's happened we were just sitting there kneeling. was going to. so much anger the officer. who knelt on mr floyd's neck was charged with 3rd degree murder manslaughter on friday
3:04 am
protesters say 3 other officers who were also at the scene should be prosecuted to all 4 were fired george floyd talked to us about a loss right now and says people's reaction has been overwhelming. everybody get in shape be a little you in what and it doesn't matter why but i probably am but you come from you know our you know that was. noble and he had no bike to do anything maybe you know i'm just you know i'm all one but the response that we're getting you to love him and force. this child to take their only because we really like. my next world just is full of dirt floor for joy following. the. lucy and the convicted.
3:05 am
and this murder 3 that just planned to just trolling murder a murder you just toying with the family college earth shall i call it what it is. now you are either. going back to be anybody 6 or younger. and when what he'd say at. the moment well my heart you can if you would yell yell tonight they're going to. check that i did not look on. at least 40 cities imposed curfews to try and contain the unrest many people a number have voted from being outside after 8 pm about 5000 national guard soldiers and airmen were activated in 15 states and in washington d.c. to where thousands more on star boy in the city of atlanta next to offices have been fired after using stun guns while making
3:06 am
a restaurant the 2nd night of protest 40 camera video showing officers tasering a man and using extreme force on a woman who then forcibly was pulling them from their vehicle 3 other officers involved in the incident have now been reassigned to desk duty as we had pending an investigation we spoke to that the 1st who was injured during the protest in minneapolis is says the police are using excessive force. from the days that have been out the only time the violence erupts or gresham has shown is when the police have come out and shown force for the most part a lot of the protests are very peaceful and that protests i'm not exactly sure of the protests too close to police as comfort but they began openly shooting rounds of tear gas rubber bullets into the crowd. and it seemed to be like an open target practice i was struck and as i was trying to walk away. from the
3:07 am
protests. and i got shared with other people there's no notice they're going to open fire there's no choice. yeah whether we want to engage them in that manner or not. the city of chicago also witnessed another night of unrest with ongoing looting and vandalism riots has seen smushing still fronts as police progeny try to clear the streets others use the empty streets to conduct motorcycle stunts as onlookers chant chicago local toronto can and shed his view on what's happening in the city. believe me the black community the minority community we appreciate the police and what they do and we know the job is hard but if they break the law they should be held to the same standards if not more than the average citizen that will hurt or kill somebody and if it was under your arm just you know if it was a maneuver or 'd a tactic kill someone on
3:08 am
a serious shooting in the back they should be held to the same stand so i think a lot of that will quell all of the riots and anger in attitudes towards the police i think there's a mixture probably all of that people just had enough of it that they feel to no one cares. this is the only way to lash out at the system. 'd they come from neighborhood this you know economically deprived it you know it's like you know you got to keep low you going to. you know basically this system is near me on i'm there so now it's not time to get out it is and just do what we can soon you know maybe you know get close do whatever i mean is role but i understand the anger understand you just can't control yourself anymore but that's what your book complete their lives and gris of danger of being shot will being hurt you know something like that is i don't understand it from that standpoint because i'm 52
3:09 am
years old and i just don't understand breaking into something to look for in 2 or if i'm down is i'm poor i don't understand breaking into a school. into this you know risking my life risking the rest. so president trump blaming the violence of the left wing group and to further and saying it will officially be designated a terrorist organization or to america who spends one says that move could backfire though. what a lot of pressure on the president to move against that secret for some time there are a lot of people who believe that it does as a terrorist organization actually think it's a very poor precedent because what happens is even though there are a lot of conservatives in this country who would say oh that's a good thing we need to label this group of that as a terrorism group but as soon as your guy is not in office or more and you get someone from the other side that they will then want to turn around and label any protest movement on the other side also a terrorist group the establishment this country is not sure what to make of these
3:10 am
protests i think a lot of it has to do with it's impart a black lives matter issue it's in part a response to police violence against unarmed black men because we've seen this over and over but i also believe that or seen this in relation to the lockdown that happened in the united states there are a lot of people who have been frustrated with the financial system they're frustrated with not having jobs not being able to make money there's a lot that's going on that's creating frustration and then to see another blatant example of another black man killed at the hands of police officers and it's not just one officer by the way there are other issues as well so i suspect we won't see at least for several days maybe even a week these these protests die down. on the been sort of the rallies for george floyd and other countries who in london there were scuffles of a major covering in the sense of the city. was would like. thousands turned to march to the
3:11 am
u.s. embassy there was a brief ska miche when police tried to contain the protest as police reportedly arrested several people outside the diplomatic compound. so now ferries are also being floated about whether the unrest is being stirred by external forces some to speak moral not next from saskia tyla. cities across the u.s. have erupted in rage shops of the new ted cars and buildings towards or in response to the death of george who lived while in police custody and what is protesting are very clear about why they are on the streets justice equality and to police brutality others are convinced that really is the fuel behind this fire if it is white supremacists if it is russia. if it is other foreign actors who tried to exploit the may should be arrested and prosecuted as well while i didn't see that one coming russians might have
3:12 am
a hand in all of this apparently an argument the mayor of minneapolis the site of the crime at the crux of the anger wasted no time in seizing on we are now confronting white supremacists members of organized crime and to state instigators and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region so to clarify russian white supremacist drug cartels really just any foreigners have all been waiting for a policeman in minnesota to allegedly kill an unarmed african-american man so that finally they can put that devious plan to divide the united states of america into actually seems like a bit of a log a virtual many excuse to detract from the norm here institutional racism and excessive violence of the police force and you know the drill what's the conspiracies out there there's no shortage of media pundits to spin it out based on my experience this is right out of the russian playbook as well but we can't allow
3:13 am
the extremists the foreign actors to distract from the real problems we have in this country that are long standing centuries old and need to be addressed responsibly by new leadership but there appeared to be some who have that from the russia gate to farkle and decide. not to hitch a ride on this particular conspiracy here out that russia might be behind some of the rioting and. the acts of violence and destruction and. i don't know they are both of our sailors russia's fault are the same also the peaceful folks and say are my community members these are the folks that live here and now we're going to where are you demanding change you know people are dying in our streets black men are being killed by police and that protest is real i think any news that's taking away from the real issue here is just a distraction and it's time to. take the gas out of our tank to get positive change for the people like these this is my community this is that russia but the
3:14 am
conspirators on twitter what better step to cool voice will 2 time that's their us as americans think about recent policing it's important to keep in mind that adversaries like russia will stalk tension and create division among us russia feeds on our kids this is what you won't see on the news black protesters protecting a white officer who was separated from his unit don't let them divide us we can beat racism together only together divided russia wins so the fury cool seeing through america at the moment is being stood to find the kremlin and not by centuries of racial tension in which case maybe see 3 maybe segregation maybe n.f.l. players kneeling during the singing of the national anthem also rushes to show you that comes a point when you have to stop pointing fingers and just the ugly truth in the maira so i could tell you that there is a footnote c.n.n. has published an apparent response to the criticism saying. that the on social
3:15 am
media is personally sent there by russian president with him uprooted so that you are this is out international after the break exactly 15 minutes past the hour now primary schools in england reopened this monday after being shut down by the health crisis for more than 2 months the. the government insists classes are now safe but there's a lot of worried parents teachers and education authorities aren't so sure we're going to talk to a doctor lawyer coming up. oz no team no crow. no shots no. actual news.
3:16 am
3:17 am
again good morning primary school children in england jew back in their classrooms this monday as britain further eases the coronavirus restrictions the rest of the u.k.'s still keeping schools closed for now but in a daily government briefing their housing secretary said that pupils are losing out by not having face to face contact and that needs to change believe it's possible to open schools safely and we have the track record if you like of that as the schools have been open for many weeks now we can also look to our european neighbors and see how they've managed to open schools successfully and the lessons that have been learnt from that law but the c.e.o. teaching unions and some local authorities don't share the government's optimism 11 councils earlier said they would not be allowing pupils back into educational facilities just yet because they don't believe it's safe enough a teacher's union poll shows reluctance among many members only 12 percent plan to increase pupil numbers in line with the government's proposals at the moment but
3:18 am
more than 3 quarters of school leaders plan to be more cautious too and will gradually bring pupils back to class we started out teaching union official john hall and also parent zenit matin about what they think should be done right now for the best every individual school will have to. risk assessment as to whether it's safe for students or teachers or the staff etc to reopen and even assess their. will be small bottles of maybe 6 or 7 depending on the size of the classroom etc etc so schools more beyond. the rule or maybe your small group of students if you want to be safe my son of my niece nephew has been very worried that her last words gotten school that i couldn't say 1st was not we had had much
3:19 am
information to the schools and asked to step. outside my concern is that my son will be coming back with a virus he cursed sword's us that he will be the back sayas to me and my stanley i live with vulnerable family members and eventually will it cost the adults adults and at a moment's number of peace actually going up and stand and we don't have to simply answer those that things are in place you know a bit not and it's not. a lot of work for parents right now or britain currently ranks 5th in the world for total cases but is by far europe's worst when it comes to deaths from coronavirus the government though insists the trend shows the steady progress so it's time to start reopening but are the numbers given the full picture well let's get the picture from dr mohler compendia joining us now is a g.p. for the national health service in england pretty tough you sir thanks for making the time for us yeah you know as i was saying if you're a parent
3:20 am
a teacher here what to do for the past you've got the government saying safe we can't be totally sure that a clear lot of verbal subclauses to these briefings what is the picture is it safe do you think in your view as a medic. well for the children it seems to be entirely safe last time i looked under the scenes the total number of deaths from that was 3 which is vanishingly small i mean just the nonexistent figure really for the children themselves appear totally safe. but the only issue is when the children spend it with the teachers and can the teachers then spread it on the no danger to the children the whole i mean you'd be you would be more likely to die from being struck by lightning than from a child under 16 that now i can cope with so i'm not sitting in a boat in the u.k. as well but let's talk about the health the welfare of the teaches of the workers in schools as they had an increased risk there may be from the children to do
3:21 am
believe that is a worry well again it's very small or in most most teachers are pretty young. not all of them obviously but again for the under 40 five's the risk is it is 'd really vanishingly small who it is going to be any sort of a problem i think the risk for the spread issue but for the children and most of the teachers i think in the n.h.s. there shielding older workers and high risk workers i'm just need to look at this i think we're hearing a britain about the high fatality right tele to raise why is that another accurate and well i did write an article saying that the problem is that the statistics on cells are very very difficult to understand i mean there was a coin where they were allowed to tell we weren't allowed anyone except patients going to host the 2 or l so we had no idea if anyone who don't know all essentially you were advised to write to it on almost all that is so what how actually
3:22 am
triggered i have no idea i mean and the bell belgium isn't the worst part head of population but i understand that really almost anyone else. you being facetious if you got a call that the test then went. underground over by a bus you'd be you'd be dead from coverage than what she got feeling on the accuracy of the money if it's not accurate one of the implications of that than. my gut feeling is that we're under reporting or reporting the problem is of course that it's going to be very difficult to know for the future what are 'd you going to do that we don't know how much of the. i can we know what the impact was i can we know what the impact of say look there was a moment i mean you look at the figures around the world and they they really don't make any sense. yes people are reporting this very differently in different countries. the british medical journal published an article saying that only
3:23 am
a 3rd of the excess deaths in england and wales can be explained by covered 19 so if that's the case what caused the rest of the patients and other health problems underlying health problems well this is a great concern and a lot of doctors are becoming more concerned i mean we have lots of patients not going to. 'd be in a reduction of 50 percent in the number of attending any with chest pains for instance the whole kind of just having artifacts the real concern of the press staying away if you're not being treated i mean elderly people in nursing home that definitely it's virtually impossible to have them admitting to hospital now so 'd recently had a patient who i did manage to admit who turned the no. in the nursing home that would have been registered. but i actually said so you know i think there's a huge concern that people are not. distorting all the car away from everything else that this could be driving
3:24 am
a great deal of additional deaths from other of the cause you know around the world it's a potentially huge thing to deal with so quickly it's called sort of people in our present and then trying to grapple with it well thank you sir for you or your thomas i know it's a busy time of the. specially for you at the moment so things make time for british g.p. dr malcolm kendrick on the line. thank you. look at the picture here in russia long term measures are also being lifted a number of regions in this vast country although medics are still working flat treating the seriously ill and carrying out further tests too we asked an emergency doctor over in russia's far east to document his experience for us and this is what he shared back. move. but just come. out with it. in the. darkness tom said cooling it's his cue for sure there will be squid you know soon too but if you create a. fish series on motion. of the local removals few fortis
