u.s. movement against racism has taken hold in europe with some protests turning ugly over the weekend because demonstrators clashed with police. refusing to defund or dismantle the police so the u.s. officials increasingly pressure. protesters. and police come in for criticism after it's revealed a new identified suspect in a tourist missing girl case dating back to 2007 has actually been known to them for 7 years.

on a pretty good afternoon tea thanks for joining us here a lot. of protests against police brutality that the united states and i will say swept across europe many cities demonstrations turned violent and ended in clashes with police and. thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank.

you reach southwestern city of which to focus them with thank you a pretty lady cry you into the hall the crowds gathered here a whole mood food came in solidarity with the black browns much obliged to show the deep scruples from paris on the situation in cities across europe. well that's right across europe there were protests all over the weekend it's mainly by black lights masses groups here in europe who wanted to rally against what they see as being systematic racism within the forces over who won on saturday here in paris thousands of people came up close to the u.s. embassy which had been secured by barricades as they chanted for an end to racism within the police now there were also protests being held in other countries such as it to be spain and denmark and also in the capital old belgium in brussels where a group over around $10000.00 people came out to the streets many people echoing

those who most would say to exploit i want 3. hones reads and they were chunks a chance away hearing now in protests across the world again also heard in paris on saturday over justice peace now with the wars of violence in some quarters in the protests in brussels with shops being looted and there were clashes between the protesters and the police and at one point. demonstrators even climbed that oen to the statue of colonial king leopold the 2nd and cried out. 0 0. i oh i.

think it was absolutely. well both the protests in brussels and paris had been banned by the authorities because of health concerns with the continuing fight against the code going to turn demick but that didn't stop people from coming out to the street and breaking the rules at least 2 rolls which we knew more than 10 people could be gathered out to the public at the same time block lysimachus spokesperson called black protest in brussels said the mood and these are the words the mood of george floyd awakened many people who were fed up with police violence systematically effects black people and that was something that was echoed by the demonstrators bundler since i was little i was born here i've experienced racism in kindergarden i know what it is and that's why i'm here i'm

not just here for me i'm here for all my black brothers and sisters and for all the others who experience racism i'm also here for my children. you know in the mass it just has to stop i mean black white yellow right it doesn't matter we're all human as long as there's no respect no equality for everyone we're going to stay here i think it can make a difference but the protest movement has to last over time. because one demonstration is not enough. because you know i've never seen before what i 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 heard no it's just unthinkable well there was much show in all social media

all the aftereffects of the violence those shops that it smashed up by protesters who were throwing paving stones at them other stores that had been looted in the capital city of belgium so my $150.00 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 week since the death of george lloyd in minneapolis and it looks like these protests have run out of steam. 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 office respond nationwide protests saturday the mayor of minneapolis which has

been the epicenter of the current protest movement was heckled for refusing to cut spending on law enforcement. thank you. very much anderson aren't getting out racist. i understand it the culture in portland we just have to radically shaped correct rethink everything now before you correctly with his stories have a vision of the court meant. to. get rid of the soft city right right right i'll tell the truth and i don't agree with that. 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 across the united states l.a. and san francisco as are planning to reduce their police budget to several city council members in minneapolis and new york all for the dismantling and reform of

their police department something that is 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 stop saying not only do we need to invest more in police well we need to completely dismantle the minneapolis police department. but one that i'm actively engaged 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 process books in the hands of our children some us cities have revealed plans on how they will redirect the money from police budgets in los angeles cops will face cuts of up to $150000000.00 instead of that increase that have been promised san francisco police budget cuts will be reallocated to social programs benefiting black communities a new york's mayor promised to divert

a deed funds to youth and social services. now this all comes in stark contrast to the tendency to boost american police u.s. police budgets are actually tripled over the past 4 decades they vary $215000000000.00 a year but according to the latest poll the majority of american citizens don't actually support cuts we've heard different opinions on the matter from and former n.y.p.d. commander and the head of the houston police officers union. i'm not for big 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 like a 20 year check that we have crime going down so if they really let me 1st so many police offices if crime starts 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 who will now go corruption now go now cops who over who like the catholic bill lloyd bank. 18 don't play every component shooting there is no way that that person should have them patrolling the streets defunding the police is 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 in our major cities across the united states we need defining police departments for years most large cities do not have a police 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 percent of the time when police officers shot that person had a weapon we cannot afford to defund the police right now. the current of instruction riding a wave of disapproval of his handling of the black blobs meant to move down the global pandemic the democrats presidential nominee joe biden has taken a significant lead of a dunk trump in latest polls buttons on remarks about the tricky issue of race all raising their own difficult questions caleb maupin explains. 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 that.

i think this president has stoked racist the president is a racist as a member of. that the president is a dangerous human being or would be a dictator donald trump is being a racist that is what he's doing right kate elections are approaching in november and trump's democratic challenger joe biden was vice president to america's 1st african-american president is taking quite a different approach to the protesters i won't traffic in syria decision i won't fan the flames of hate. i'll seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plague our country not use them for political gain but how much of an alternative is biden really. cute the 1st coming out of the layers 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 that kid were in a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger. one. 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 just 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 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 muffin r.c. new york could have

a whole new stories for you after the show break see them. go to work so you straight home. so seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me lol yet to see how this day comes ethical and endangered it was

a trail. when something and find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back there's been a major twist in the notorious case of a missing british girl who disappeared in portugal in 2007 after a new suspect was identified as a man from germany however german police are now under fire after it turned out they'd received tip offs about him 7 years ago the new suspects also now being linked to the disappearance of another child in portugal 20 years ago into all of it has more. 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 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.

these are actually the. martyrdom is wearing when she was taken. 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 a sudden and caviar at if the suspect named locally as is usual in these cases in germany as only christie in the was behind model and 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 tied 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 no go between 995 in 2007 civil years in a house between lagos and prove dilution during this period he had several casual jobs in the lagos region mainly in catering evidence suggests that he also and

living by committing crimes including hotel burglaries and drug trafficking as much . as might 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 this peaceful street . 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 them account of 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 christie and b. what 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 soon peter all of our r.t. . german police said they didn't have enough evidence to arrest christine b.

earlier we have requested more details from the we wait for any response. staying in the country chancellor angela merkel as acknowledged germany faces its worst economic crisis since the 2nd world war her words come after the country announced a stimulus package boost the economy which has been devastated by the pandemic. use of a high when we're facing the worst economic slump in the history of the federal republic of germany do number of 7000000 part time workers alone shows the difficult economic situation we are in and therefore it is necessary to tee courageous steps to get out of this crisis in mali why the stimulus package for the e.u. is not receiving overwhelming support several diplomats aren't happy with the blocks planned 750000000000 euro recovery fund according to the plan the commission will borrow that money from international capital markets and distribute it in

grants and loans the amount for a member state will be determined by population g.d.p. per capita and unemployment rate's prior to the pandemic the plans come in for criticism for not taking into account the current economic situation the commission's proposal would mean that austria would have to contribute nearly 2 percent of its g.d.p. that would be twice as much as in the past for us but some acceptable the proposal published by the commission was for siebel inclusion the size of the recovery find though the share of grants exceeded our expectations. earlier on my colleague andre farmer discussed the proposed recovery fund and hopes for the use economy after lock down is then that before but austrian foreign minister cameron can i say. if we add a beginning of needle solutions these will have to be accomplished at the latest by september. and to then we will see what the final outcome in terms of who gets what it's. so-called southern countries that have been hit for homes by austerity

programs by the euro crisis of trying to. look at each and every county was hit somehow that the central european countries stepped in little stories that. it's more than just. had to start there heavily here such as italy and spain because to call it a crisis i know you said there that many some countries would like to see them take on loans rather than grants but those countries do have huge debts already mean how could they take on further loans what's wrong with giving them grants this debate what should be loans which would be one thing and the other topic is of course there was a lot on the lame duck president european commission when chris and it's the plan has also all. started to talk once again about texting

by a commission saw a new system of taxing which in the end will of course hit the national text because somewhere the texas will have to be taken as they cannot be in a band it just on the super national level. i would sit down many many question marks left and the big is your is a chorus how can you bring law cohesion into the european union sanctioning. as of today anybody arriving into the united kingdom will face mandatory quarantine as part of measures designed to prevent. 2nd wave of the coronavirus all the details is. what we will be seeing from today's anybody who arrives in the u.k. . and see or will be told that they have to self isolate itself quarantine for 14 days they'll have to give an address that address could be subject to spot checks by government figures security forces and if somebody is found not to be in

the property at the time that it's being inspected they could be subjected to a 1000 pounds fine now there are some in the u.k. who have said that this is all too little too late these types of measures sort of coming way earlier on during the pandemic however the home secretary said these measures are vital parts of the country's attempts to fight coronavirus we know that they will present difficulties for the tourism industry but we do feel for in the long run if we get this wrong and that is why it is crucial that when she says mission. there is. a hard one progress in tackling this virus during the course of the crime the virus pandemic there have been many sectors of the economy which have suffered not least the travel and tourism industry and it's been that industry what we've been seeing some of the biggest push back to the introduction of these quarantine rules these measures

a disproportionate fare on british citizens as well as international visitors arriving in the u.k. we have the government to remove this ineffective visitor quarantine which will have a devastating effect on the u.k. tourism industry and will destroy even more thousands of jobs in this unprecedented crisis judging by some of the reaction on the continent if anything these measures by the united kingdom are only going to see retaliation measures put in place we take note of the british government's decision and we regret it france is ready to put in place a reciprocal measure as soon as the system come. into force on the british side we know that there are pressures from the sector and then it could be taken off the agenda but what's really limiting movement right now other restrictions from the foreign office these measures can be reviewed every 3 we saw with remains to be seen whether the pressure both internally in the u.k. and externally from other countries will bear any pressure on the u.k.

government reversing this and lifting these quarantine rules. and here's some breaking news that is just come in this hour moscow's man has announced the end of the city's self isolation period starting from june 9th from tomorrow citizens won't need passes they will be able to freely roam the city has studios beauty salons and offices will be able to reopen restaurants can open in stages starting from next week with those who have outside seating allowed to do so 1st of all part of the gradual easing of lockdown measures brought in during the pandemic . on that bridge right up today appreciate staying with autism more news coming your way in just over 30 minutes time see. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see you then.
