3:06 am
saw on the street it was a total invasion people scream and firecrackers it was all over the place the police were in full force at the interest of the street they couldn't do anything it was terrible i agree with the fact that people protest that we defend ideas i do agree but to trust stores after what happened the coronavirus all the problems we've had no it's just unthinkable. well there was much show in all social media all the aftereffects of the violence those shops being smashed up by protesters who were throwing paving stones at them how the stalls that being looted in the capital city of belgium so my 150 arrests were made and the city's mayor has said violence like that will not be tolerated. the city will bring a civil action and will continue via the mechanism of administrative sanctions we do not and will never tolerate impunity in our capital. we're now entering the 3rd
3:07 am
week since the death of george florey in minneapolis and it looks like these protests haven't run out of steam. ok thank. you with the latest crush your reporting there from paris thank you. now meanwhile president trump has lashed out against democrat politicians for supporting the idea of defunding police departments in the wake of george floyd's death the brutal killing of the black man by officers sparked a nationwide protest and on saturday the mayor of minneapolis which has been the epicenter for the current protest movement was called for refusing to cut spending or norm for spent. i mean. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes no not you and your son aren't getting operations just change i understand it the culture in part because we just have to radically shaped
3:08 am
correct everything everything now before you correct you with your office as far as i still have a vision of apartment. blocks getting rid of police officers that are city right right right i'll tell the truth and i don't agree with that ok i don't agree when in washington the call to defund the police was painted next to black lives matter on the street that leads to the white house and the slogan is increasingly being adopted now across the u.s. attorneys in san francisco mez are planning 3 g. use their police budgets several city council members in minneapolis and new york called for the dismantling and reform of their police department something that's being promoted by progressive democrats. i will never call sign up on funding our police department that continues to brutalize us and i will never ever stop a saying not only do we need to invest brinkley's the way they grow completely
3:09 am
dismantle the minneapolis police department i but one that i am actively engaged in in advocacy for is the reduction of really truly talking about the reduction of our n.y.p.d. budget and defunding a $6000000000.00 n.y.p.d. budget that that costs us books in the hands of our children or some us cities have revealed plans on how they will read direct the money from police budgets in los angeles cops will face cuts of up to 150000000 dollars instead of an increase that was promised earlier san francisco police budget cuts will be then reallocated to social programs. benefit black communities and new york's mayor promised to die for it n.y.p.d. funds to youth and social services u.s. police budgets have tripled over the past 4 years decades reaching $115000000000.00 a year however according to the latest poll the majority of americans do not
3:10 am
support any cuts we heard differing opinions on the matter from a former n.y.p.d. commander and the head of the houston police officers you. i'm not for funding police departments all the way but i'm quite sure especially given that spending like in this recession that we're in and they can't find some way of cypriot some of that money on i think 20 years could check the real crime going down so if they really let me put so many police offices if crime start is going up. based on find then do we pull the money and resources back and put it back into the police to put that number one issue we 'd need to do is be more forceful in now the corruption now will move now cops who of who like the catholic guilt lloyds bank. 18 don't place every complaint shooting there is no way that that person should have that patrol and she defunding the police is
3:11 am
an extremely dangerous idea i think it makes for a popular hash tag on twitter and you have a lot of hollywood elites that are jumping in on this and i think you've actually seen it in our major cities across the united states we need to farming police departments for years most large cities do not have in our officers are extremely understaffed and as a result you've seen crime actually go up in all these major cities and now we're going to employment up near 40000000 you're only going to see crime numbers skyrocket i think that over the last 6 years there have been a constant drumbeat in the united states of anti police rhetoric and false narratives and i think that most people think officers are just going out there to shoot people left and right and that there's a systemic racism within police departments but the statistics don't bear that out in the facts don't bear that out in fact there was a study done in 2015 at the university of maryland in michigan state university the found there was no racial bias in any of the shootings and in fact in over 99
3:12 am
percent of the times when police officers shot that person had a weapon we cannot afford to defund the police right now. now helping or stoking the fire nonprofit organization the nelson mandela foundation has weighed in on the crisis in america calling act as they see it the structured targeting of the black community while adding that violence is sometimes the only way to bring about change when communities are confronted by both resilience structural violence and attacks on their bodies violent responses will occur the use of violence can be rational and carefully targeted as we have seen in south africa during the democratic iraq violent protest is often the result of a careful calculation by communities who have come to see that only such action elicits the desired response from the state meanwhile twitter has been facing questions over why it failed to flag up this tweet by slate magazine where the
3:13 am
liberal outlet says violence is quote an important tool for protesters last week twitter took the unprecedented step of removing a tweet by president donald trump over concerns it glorified file and. hey twitter support does this not glorify violence in a literal sense you forgot that they are liberals so the rules don't apply there is a fine line between journalism and incitement to riot and i think you just tripped stumbled and friends planted riots across it well earlier we did hear from the political analyst and author resurface in and social issues commentator anthony bryan know you can about whether violence can indeed bring about change and what are the limits. every encounter a black person has with the state in the form of the police could very well in their life that's not a small matter that's not something to be minimized and the buy list that we see
3:14 am
right now is the response of a people who have said enough is enough is enough is enough and we are tired and we will take no more people who are engaging in violence don't care about black lies matter they don't care about george floyd they don't care about anything relating to the black community are going to do is just smash and grab take things as engage in general chaos all this balance is for no other reason to be so sorry for those that are doing it now to people how are you going to say you help him black folks when you're 13 black folks with to balance it doesn't make any sense we are not going to minimize the fact that several several 100 african-americans have come in contact with the united states in the form of local police and their lives have been extinguished let's be clear if not for the police being now here trying to calm these situations down you have a lot more black labs taking then those that were taken by the looters initiators
3:15 am
in the rioters and the so-called protesters all the name of george floyd all in the name of that last matter if that last matter out can't say oh this is been happening for hundreds of years for black people any time blacks have economically empowered themselves or politically empowered themselves or just been doing too well in this country there has been a blow back i thought about what's going on right now though we're talking about what's happening today we've improved as a country where we are trying to break apart the police that's going to be the wrong thing because and the black community a lot of these poor low income communities the police are the last bastion of hope but these people that are trying to do they don't care if they're black on black murder rate quadruples they don't really care as long as they can say oh well there was no police involved shooting the person they don't care is the. homicide. never go to something 1000 a year it's 25000 they don't care because it was all about john it was a particular narrative of. the chaos and anger on the streets of us and i'm joe
3:16 am
biden has increased support in the polls against donald trump but questionable rice relates remarks from the democrats' presidential candidate now i will come to light we'll have a look at those and what it means just up to the. you can't be both with yeah you know what. my. we're told the civil unrest in the united states and beyond is about systemic
3:17 am
racism we're told western institutions are values that are inherently fun and. neither really explain the real evidence of social breakdown but is really in play here is an ideology and ideology that demands absolute submission. welcome back here without a now with the current administration riding a wave of disapproval about the handling of both the black life matzoh movement and . the global pandemic the democratic presidential nominee joe biden has taken a significant dive a donald trump in the latest post however biden's own remarks about the tricky
3:18 am
issue of race raising the right and difficult questions has been explained. the streets are full of activists marching against police brutality racism and the mistreatment of african-americans and donald trump is becoming a target for some of that anger duis harsh rhetoric against protesters. i think this president. says the president is a racist as america had learned that the president is a dangerous human being who would be a dictator don't show is being a racist that is what he's doing right kate elections are approaching in november and trumps democratic challenger joe biden was vice president to america's 1st african-american president is taking quite a different approach to the protesters i want traffic in syria division i won't fan the flames of hate. i'll seek to heal the racial wrongs that have long plague our
3:19 am
country not used it for political gain but how much of an alternative is biden really. too near to you know the 1st coming out of. players of the heart is a very different thing so it's a question of where the police shoot people not if they shoot them at all furthermore joe biden is certainly reaching out to george floyd's family expressing sympathy but people will recall his own series of racial gaffes. poor kids are just as bright and just as talons white kids. if you have a problem figuring out where you're from a or tromp and you ain't black. you got to recognize a kid were in a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not
3:20 am
a gang banger. going. well for. the record you are back in case he's also been called out by police for making statements hinting that all officers might be racist as you might . call. here's a quote that certainly does not go over well as about the attitude of the country we want our kids to repeat do we really think is as good as we can make as a nation i don't think the vast majority of people think there are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of people out there than just not very good people. but that's not who we are that sounds like a lot of no good americans out there not the best choice of rhetoric the whiteness of joe biden's inner circle has been widely criticized despite the fact that he took the lead in the primaries mainly due to african-american supporters joe biden
3:21 am
will be the only serious contender challenging donald trump in the november elections democrats have got to be asking themselves is a guy like joe biden really the best hope for unseating the donald democratic strategists are scrambling to make it happen but it might be harder than they think hey look martin artsy new york. has been a major development in tory's case of a missing british girl who disappeared in portugal back in 2007 after a new suspect was identified as a man from germany however german police an hour and a fire after it turned that that they had received tip offs about him 7 years ago the new suspect is also not being linked to the disappearance of another child in portugal 20 years ago peter all of us as more details. after 13 years one of the most covered cases of child abduction could be a step away from being resolved the disappearance of madeleine mccann in 2007 saw
3:22 am
the launch of an international search for the then 3 year old british child who went missing from a portuguese resort now those close to her parents say they have a credible lead in the search for who is behind her disappearance a german man is being questioned in connection with. this lead didn't come from a whistleblower or someone looking for their 15 minutes of fame or seeking financial profit know it comes from the german police so we can say there is a certain consistency that could finally allow us to try and get the truth model in the count's parents left attended one evening during a family holiday when they returned she was gone profiting on one of the most media intensive missing persons cases of recent times.
3:23 am
these are actually the. martyrdom is wearing when she was taken and. what we want is to get as much attention to madeleine's case as possible because what we want is to get her back certainly we are concerned we are all concerned. the latest information comes with
3:24 am
a sudden covey at if the suspect named locally as is usual in these cases in germany as only christie and he was behind madeleine's disappearance police knew he was being talked about as a suspect as long ago as 2013 and didn't act on the information one person did submit its hip about christian b. but the subsequent report from police in branch tie to the federal criminal investigation office was apparently not acted upon much to the horror of the local investigators hindsight can always be 2020 but it does seem that there was a large amount of evidence linking christie and b. to the mccann case that wasn't followed up on the suspect lived in the i'll go between 995 and 2007 several years in a house between lagos and prior dilution during this period he had several casual jobs in the lagos region mainly in catering and evidence suggests that he also and living by committing crimes including hotel burglaries and drug trafficking is must
3:25 am
be tough and so i have been deeply affected to hear but someone who did such awful things and is being accused of such awful crimes used to live here on those peaceful streets. german police have been accused of not acting effectively before in cases of child safety last year the force in north rhine-westphalia admitted to losing almost all the incriminating digital evidence in a case involving the alleged rape of over 30 children for the mccown family 13 years of not knowing what happened to their daughter madeleine could be about to come to an end but if it turns out that christina b. was behind her disappearance then serious questions are going to be asked of german law enforcement why they didn't act upon information that they had sooner. well german police have said that they didn't have enough evidence to arrest
3:26 am
christian b. we have requested more details about this to you from them and we're bringing their response when we get it so that's how the news is looking say foster here in our states just coming up to half past and in the morning here in moscow are back again with the headlines in a bad that he felt. the world is driven by shaped past and personal. thinks. we are here to ask.
