this is not just america but this is also the u.k. when you see people coming out here to represent. not the narrative needs to change because the people keep doing the same thing which is nothing and this whole thing about white privilege to. have. all of these names of people who. like me. and the. well in a move towards healing america's racial divide the governor of the state of virginia is to remove a civil war statue of a confederate general seen as a totem of african american repression today's troubles over george ford's killing or forcing more and more americans to face up to their past on the impact it's helping the present but it's removing monuments. like the. george floyd's death is being fit into a much wider array of grievances protesters see police brutality racism and

6:14 am
are blaming different extremists violence and vandalism is being led by n t 5 and other radical left wing groups this and i will try and what i'm asking the media to help us on we're going to start releasing who some of these people are and they'll be able to start tracing that that history of where they're at and what they're doing on the dark web and how they're organizing i don't think they thought of themselves the vast majority of the has the way to promises that they look at they all know who planted a 0 know who the brothers and sisters of the plan are it seems that some are angry at the system altogether like the old it was easier to do things like this because you. can see over the years it laid it on to. say one thing i think this is not about one cop and one tragedy this is about the structure of u.s. society and one murder charge is not going to change anything it will come up and

6:17 am
a lot of the public has been trained and encouraged to not believe playing. people . r.t. america's rick sanchez discuss the possible systematic reasons behind police abuse this with american economist richard wealth. if you're hammer everything is a nail that's what's happened to our justice system in america about 30 or 40 years ago and successively since what we've done is we've militarized our police departments we've militarized our cities for economic reasons and for political reasons we have chosen to put all of our funding all of our money on those people who arrest people rather than those people who helped grow people what it did was it turned us all into a boss versus them and it's been going on ever since and everybody you know i know there's obviously a racial disparity in all of this as you said and it does tend to break more toward
6:18 am
african-americans who look different but if you really look at it police officers in america out there also versus them that they've developed many of them are good people but they've been put in that situation the way we should i believe now fundamentally economically what these other ways this is going to weeks we have serious problems in this country they're not being addressed there be it because we don't have the money going where it needs the rich get richer everybody else is worried you really have little list. that's how empires die natural makes journalists from. inside we are in that position.
6:19 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spirit a dramatic development that only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. seemed wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out these days become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
6:20 am

6:22 am
abroad as a risky move a little bit sweeter states epidemiologist admits it caused too many deaths he doesn't think it was wholly wrong. if we were to encounter the same disease with exactly what we know about. i think we would learn midway between sweden dude and the rest of the wounded. of the swedish government's promising to investigate the impact the policy has had the country suffered more than 4 and a half 1000 deaths outside of a population of around 10000000 and makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others enforced harsher restrictions the result of all violent means sweden is now being marginalized from scandinavian cooperation us the locked arms norway and denmark have lifted their mutual travel checks but aren't opening the borders with their neighbor the danish prime minister say's it's because the countries are in quote different places in relation to the pandemic we got the fuse of another swedish at the. a situation. we don't normally start we could have done

better so i know why they didn't. then of course the information us how to do better in washington and their. weight was agree there it was center today and by the experiences of other countries around us it was started by a normal wave shouldn't by that very you know another country's so you see what's there to do cannot see when we could not know then don't. know then they were trying to do for me they were trying to save them just mine said ask me to change i'm not going to straighten all shit out of countries but we're we're being i think much more unfortunate. europe's internal open borders are still some way all thing a 2 way street the italian prime minister is i'm going austria and greece for maintaining travel restrictions on the telly and citizens calling them the scrim
6:24 am
the turion totally unacceptable italy's reopened its borders to e.u. citizens to try and breathe life into it stole tourism industry people all over has been looking at how getting there on europe is not as clear cut as it used to be. summer is here and it's good news for germans were wondering if they're going to get a sunshine break this year the government here in berlin is lifting warnings against travel to european nations from the middle of this month the foreign minister heiko mass in making me announcement though was king to stress this isn't a green light for travel with wild abandon. we know that this decision creates hope and expectations but i'd like to stress once again travel warnings are not travel bans and travel guidelines are not invitations we want to make it clear in our travel guidelines that travelers are not to go to the u.k. we're not essential and as long as there's a 14 day quarantine in place getting ahead of everyone else in europe is italy they
6:25 am
opened their borders on wednesday the lockdown is brought upon italy the worst recession since world war 2 and the government is looking to holiday make is to revive the economy prime minister conte says the crowds of travelers they hope will be flocking into the country is a risk italy is willing to take. we are facing a calculated risk knowing also a most sincerely epidermal logical cove may rise again however there are fears the tourists will skip visits to the coliseum and gondola rides this year it's early is still reporting dozens of covert $1000.00 cases daily and the national dispute rages over the dangers of the virus a claim by a well known italian doctor that corona virus is losing potency so the world health organization stepped in with international experts warning against a false sense of security you know the reality is a virus practically no longer exists from
6:26 am
a clinical standpoint it has got to return to being a normal country because there's evidence we can go back to having a normal life there are still thousands of people every day dying from this were so we need to be exceptionally careful not to create. the sense that all of us a little virus by it's all foolish and there's no decided to be less pathogenic that is not the case at all never the less the italian foreign minister is doing the rounds trying to convince everyone that italy is safe for tourists to visit while local mayors are doing their part to try and draw people in to the beaches restaurants and cafes that have been empty for too long.
6:27 am
he sure is will be able to come too close or not safely we are ready to reopen with great success we can accommodate many tourists the risk of contracting the virus is extremely low we have to open to accepting people however it seems silly we'll still have to wait for its neighbors to open up as the reopening has already caused some troubles on the border. but we can go there but we can't go back to france so if we're going to get stuck there it's not worth. what we were forbidden to go back to italy or the italians could go back to france with impunity lead control without anything now we were told yesterday it could be open today there were problems those european nations that rely heavily on tourism cash are desperate for holiday makers to come to them the question now is how many will be willing to travel while coronavirus continues to infect people peter all over r.t.
