this is all to international thanks for joining us. black lives massive protests against police brutality that engulfed the united states swept across europe many cities demonstrations have turned violent and ended in clashes with police and some looting. thank you thank you. thank you. thank you thank you thank. you in the southwestern city of bristol protesters dump the statue of

a british life trying to into the harbor crowds gathered cheering on the moves that came in solidarity with the by some movement. from parish on the situation in cities across europe. well that's right across europe there were protests all over the weekend is mainly by black lives masses groups here in europe who wanted to rally against what they see as being systematic racism within the forces of rule and 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 of around $10000.00 people came out to the streets many people echoing

those who most would say to exploit i want 3. cones breeds and they were chunks a chunk so we're hearing now in protests across the world again also heard in paris on saturday over justice peace now with a was a violence in some quarters in the protest in brussels with shops being looted and there were clashes between the protesters and the police and at one point them in. straight is even climbed the own to the statue of colonial king leopold the 2nd and cried out. 0 0. i oh i was.

doing it. well but with the protests in brussels urns here in paris had been banned by the authorities because of health concerns with the continuing fight against the code read going to current 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 to public at the same time block lysimachus spokesperson coleslaw protest in brussels said the mood on these words the mood of george floyd awakened many people who were fed up with police violence system that affects 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. 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 we. 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 had 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 florey in minneapolis and it looks like these protests haven't 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 freud the brutal killing of the black man by officers spot nationwide protests on 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. yes not anderson not getting not racist. i understand it the culture in portland we just passed radically shaped correct rethink everything now before you correctly with this story have a vision of the court meant. to. get rid of the soft city right right right i'll tell the truth i don't agree with. 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 country l.a. and san francisco as a planning to reduce their police budgets several city council members in minneapolis new york call for the dismantling and reform of their police

departments something that has been 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 but 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 will 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 an increase that had been promised the san francisco police budget cuts will be reallocated to social programs benefiting black communities a new york promise to divert and y p

d funds to youth and social services. now this all comes in stark contrast to the tendency to boost american police u.s. police budgets in fact tripled over the past 4 decades reaching a staggering $115000000000.00 per year but according to the latest polls the majority of americans actually don't support the cuts we had different opinions on the matter from a former n.y.p.d. commander on the head of the houston police officers union. i'm not for funding police departments 'd 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 and we're on i think 20 years to check that we have crime going down so if they really need a was so many police offices if crime stories or not. 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 now approaching now well now cops who of who like the catholic guilt lloyds bank. 18 don't like the rico shooting there is no way that that person should have patrolling the defunding of 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'd be defining police departments for years most large cities do not have in our stores 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 buy. and that in fact there was a study done in. by the university of maryland in michigan state university the found there was no racial bias in any of the shootings and in fact in order 99 percent of the time when police officers shot that person had a weapon we cannot afford to defund the police right now in the current administration riding a wave of disapproval about his handling of both the black lives matta movement and the global pandemic the democrats presidential nominee joe biden has taken a significant lead over dumb trump in the latest polls but biden's own remarks about the tricky issue of race race in their own difficult questions elop open house. 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 left out

back and forth about how to. i think this president has stoked racism the president is a racist as a matter of that i'm not alone that the president is a dangerous human being a would be 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 division 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. too near to you know the person coming out of. players to 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 gang banger. going. well for. you up or you are back in case he's also been called out by police for making statements hinting that all officers might be racist.

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 you know 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 artsy new york human rights activists to tell mobarak of believes

that if biden wins in november it wasn't bring about change to the lives of black people in the united states. the least be very close to the old joe biden joe biden has a checkered history when it comes to race relations as many people know joe biden was the primary author of the 1904 crime deal of the resulted in. significant repression of african-americans in the united states of america so the election of a joe biden is not going to have any significant impact on african-americans the obama administration for 8 years that administration did not see fit to engage in any kind of prosecution of killer cops even though that was happening across the country so. obama and joe biden trump. all

of these individuals who represent concentrated power in the u.s. . are representing the same interests the only ones who thought that the u.s. had a mask of a commitment to do to democracy human rights. were people who were fundamentally naive know you as a fish can never stand before the international community and printed in to be a defender of human rights they have been exposed for ever and that is a good thing. when the police come in for criticism of just a field they nearly identified suspect in a tourist missing girl case in 2007 as been known to them as 70 yes this story and of us after the break.

geysers financial survival guide. those that you can convert as quite easily. to keep in mind though as the place of. work.

has been a major twist in the notorious case of a missing british girl who disappeared in portugal in 2007 that's after a new suspect was identified as being a man from germany with a german place all now themselves under fire after it turned out they had received tip offs about the man 7 years ago and he suspects also being linked to the disappearance of another child in portugal 20 years back he said all of his 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 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 was 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 no it comes from the german police so we can say there was a certain consistency that could finally allow us to try and get the truth model of accounts parents left of 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 if the suspect named locally as is usual in these cases in germany as only christie in the was behind moderns 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 it to be but the subsequent report from police in branch tried to 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 and 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 needs to and living by committing crimes including hotel burglaries and drug trafficking as must 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 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 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. peter all of r.t. early in. the police have said that they didn't have enough evidence to arrest christian b. earlier we have requested more details from the we await their response. most major restrictions on life in moscow brought into combat coronavirus will be

lifted as of tomorrow that announcement was made earlier on by the city's mayor dan hawkins has the details. for what it's been a couple of months but what seems like a lifetime said 1000000 sara moscow residents have been on the lockdown self isolation very strict rules and restrictions on where and when they can go with who what people can and can't sue that's been regulated by an electronic pulses that which people have had in their phones for a number of weeks now the funtastic news coming out today from the moscow government from the bass a guess about it is that as of tomorrow night's suit all comes to an end virginia board of the new share most citizens including those over 65 years and those suffering chronic illnesses can without restrictions go outside travel for their needs and visit public places i also approved a step by step show jewel for the majority of the city's organizations to reopen for those abilities to get a hack also go to

a beauty salon the good news on that front those services will open tomorrow gyms cinema as big restaurants those are set to open spot me later on the 16th of june on the 23rd of june in a measured easing of these restrictions the it says and present such a console's have been given the go ahead to start rehearsals preparing for the summer season perhaps to open a little bit later on these measures of course could be lifted because for several weeks now both death rates and infection rates from coronavirus have been slowing down and have reached a plateau at the mosque a government said finally might many more people are being discharged from hospital that admitted to hospital which is of course great news that only for moscow residents for russians but of course for the medical community as well which has been under a huge amount of pressure a huge step on the way to moscow it's on it what it was pre the coronavirus and trying times to use for the residents who will the doubt be out and about enjoying the fantasticks on such as of today anybody arriving into the united kingdom will

face a mandatory period of quarantine as part of measures designed to prevent a 2nd wave of the virus with the details his. what we will be seeing from today is 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 and 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 sees me just now 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 where we've been seeing some of the biggest push back to the introduction of these quarantine rules these measures a disproportionate and unfair on british citizens as well as international visitors arriving in the u.k. we had the government to remove this ineffective visitor quarantine which will have a devastating effect on the u.k.'s 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 comes 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. ok that wraps it up for this news hour much pre-shared to you staying with us throughout the afternoon know we're going to hand over that we are global news channel going to hand over now to london office time for ati u.k. i'll bring you updates on the top stories in 30 minutes. the world is driven by drama shaped by one person.

of the day or thinks. we dare to ask. we're told the civil unrest in the united states and beyond is about systemic racism we're told western institutions are values are inherently flawed and. neither really explain the real evidence of social breakdown what is really in play here is an ideology and ideology that demands absolute submission.

they were going underground as derek chervin charged with the murder of george floyd that sparked uprisings across the western world makes his 1st appearance at a court in minneapolis this on the 52nd anniversary of the london arrest of james earl ray guilty of the assassination of dr martin luther king jr which catalyzed the greatest wave of social unrest in the united states since the civil war coming up in the show as protesters in the u.s. and u.k. call for the new liberal governments to tackle the roots of systemic injustice we ask a big issue found a lot but how boris johnson was able to hold it sold homelessness over night in response to the ruin of iras and homelessness has always been the lead to political choice revealed by go with 1000 making the rich only as strong as society's most

vulnerable and while protesters in the u.s. battle injustice against racial capitalism in the hands of a militant for these forces what does happen to the wealth of billionaires. co-author of billionaire bonanza 2020 omar ocampo about how billionaires are profiting off a pandemic while millions have the bread on all of them all coming up in today's going underground but 1st against the backdrop of protests against oppression in the u.k. mirroring the full scale uprisings taking place in the united states the british government's crude a virus response still appears to be falling well short of what is needed with over $60000.00 deaths and rising while health experts on the alarm on another arguably anemic contact tracing system so is it any wonder that some who have campaigned their whole lives for equality and they're looking for a way to not just recover from grown a virus but to reform the entire system so tragedies on this scale can never happen again one of those campaign is lord john.
