looking for the new democratic socialist party now that labor has gone back to blueness i'm rob says i think saddam is playing a game here boris told him that there will be a deal will hold him to his word whether that's enough to top a boris is that full but it could be the only mechanism julian says christiane will no doubt win support from some disgruntled tory voters however he is far from the socialist dream of the grassroots labor supporters i see another tony blair on the horizon and finally maybe says is england on the whole socialist i'm not so sure labor might be heading for the same old dance again not left enough for scotland and not for england time will tell. on the top of the $22000.00 the darling cain lost a son to a shooting incident at the hands of the baltimore police after officers were called to an alleged domestic dispute dumping sudden her grief into a campaign for justice and with other mothers found mallos on the move took the

9:36 am
that the latest reaction to the the killing of george floyd will will finally be the moment where america toughens of karma and signs of justice which is sick. well my prayer today is that we were founding here in fact mit police officer for ross of the killing and host of the people from tulsa jail because this is not something that we can see we were called to jail that they have one of they had a gun in the unit but they have to go home in there for this and they're all just like regular people are really ticked off a uniform so they have developed that they have to think that they have family to a 10 of the above the law or no particular time and death where people want to be their mental health is real they have mental health as well in the police department and they need to have help the officers need to get help and too many of
9:37 am
them being higher than in the military than in the war was and they're they're retired and they're working for the police darling when you a mother of mothers took. to the gates of the white house were you disappointed that the 1st black president of the united states barack obama wasn't able to do more to meet your cry for justice and more change was introduced in terms of the the the changes that you were speaking honestly i really thought that we were on a make the president even go in met his staff a representative i was disappointed at the have a net meeting that no changes have been made in the police department around health around the nation nothing has been changed. and that's a something particularly powerful when a a mother speaks about the death of
9:38 am
a son of as a something to take leap of all that gets a message across of that sense of loss and emptiness is so great film and knowing that people remember your child when someone calls you up and say we need to know can you speak or when you go out in the corral and they recognize you and they say we have mothers saying right here we have mothers who are out here fighting on how we have mothers who are in the street who are out here to the street both to the graeme innes a really good some of the be back in there when i'm out there it really is because so much respect because they still let you stay in and not i want to stand up because so many people are just afraid what would be your message to rally people to to pursue that that sense of justice well i will say to everyone. that don't give up we are going to get what we want and the police departments in
9:39 am
the commission is going to have to listen to out the mains go with the main event with a management that people who are mistreating her lease offer her lawful or her will be in costa waited for the actions not just file you on the job but not to the we want to do it scene gather because we can't do it alone and this isn't done lima a change in the white house is a quiet thought as a change in the hearts of men and women looking for change in the police department and baltimore them indeed the police departments across the united states what's the key changes require the key change is the hair everyone to vote and encourage people who have that then vote simple and we need new people and office mapping in it may be some younger people who have the straps and the energy to do the job and also we do not have
9:40 am
a president who is on out that we're thinking about people per year about making sure that america is safe from police officer who are not enough guarding came from baltimore thank you very much for appearing on met alex sullivan show and thank you so much. for coming up after the break with discuss host young people across america rolling to the bottom of the full test and replace the a couple most of us in the historical context join us i'm. chris. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have
9:41 am
a miraculous solution. based drugs to people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be certain to do the price at the. grocery dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually very very right because we want to. show it's seemed wrong rowles just don't call. any new world yet to shape our disdain for the conflict as a kid and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
9:42 am
you. know what's a clip of she will be no use to you. all scripture but the way it's always at the ok i was sober go through all more work on the late but not so much you need a new thing immediately. they can put us in the mood at the current build up by the smithsonian bush and the open to get into the cooking look at the day our. city they have a rabbi yes. the jews yes well. welcome back. the protests following the slaying of jones floyd have swept the world but for the speed of the. young woman in america philip joins me from chicago
9:43 am
philip. a graduate of truman scola with us motivated june to get involved in these protests over the last few weeks what motivated me i think it's by virtue of my live experience as a black american woman i grew up on the south side of chicago and. had being you know experiences in encounters with police brutality myself those around me but also the prevalence of racism within the country and touching every aspect of the lived experience from education to health disparities to bullying you know the list goes on and on and you know i am poor everyone you know i'm not you know full time protester i'm not a you know full time civil rights activists you know by title i'm a regular person but it's the regular people that are standing up to say that these are injustices and that we must you know see change in our lives for myself and for
9:44 am
my future children grandchildren and so forth and tell me about taylor behl mode of a soft official you use metal in the the protests have they come from all walks of life and all communities go to protest big volunteer and it's such a rainbow both races but experiences ages kids there is a lot of sex and so on and so forth and so from that it is inspiring to see that this is not something that is just my battle but you know it's slowly transform the as it should be become our battle this is art. now there been so many slayings and examples of police brutality over the years in the united states what is about this killing the killing of jobs floyd the provoked this extraordinary action both across the united states and indeed across the world.
9:45 am
people have said you know enough is enough that specially when the video george for white a modern hearing on the taylor family and kenneth walker's the mc speak you know 'd seeing those recordings over and over again critics say you know when you're at home you're able to consume so much and you could not excuse any boiled people well and i think that that coupled with the fact that we think about hope it 19 and how it has ravaged america and how it's disproportionately impacted black and brown coons i think that that in itself has incited a lot of rage and you know. a lot of people speak up about the injustices and number of public figures everybody from megan mostel to former president obama have said listen really all about voting in november this is about changing the occupant of the white house as thought one of somebody told us the something more to it than
9:46 am
just voting you know i think that that's an excellent question and you know i definitely a 100 percent agree i definitely think that voting is essential and he now also think that you know it parallels the voting it's also important to think about the cultural implications that how we need to shift our minds that the racial tension is so imbedded with in american culture and with the american ideology because it's so pervasive this is every factor the presiding policy from all will not change it but i definitely think that it's a great and important start killing the civil rights movement in the united states is a long history you and your colleagues a standing on the shoulders of giants it's a message you hope to pass on to the next generation to your own children in the future perhaps about what happened in 2020 if you had a message to pass on what would it be. i think that you know i'm hoping that the
9:47 am
message that i have to pass on is that we've come to a point where i don't need to pass on a message you know to my future children you know mommy mommy is trying to do the hard work or you feel that i don't or you don't rather have to do that in the future and the social media is a jew be very aware of that and of national mention of these protests how big of. that being on the protests in the united states i think that it is. truly inspiring to to see the global out line you know i've had the fortunate opportunity be able to travel the world and also live abroad actually studied as a martial scholar in the u.k. and you know to understand race and global and see blackness from the british perspective to having you know friends and me from liberia pictures of people who
9:48 am
hold that thing you know from russell to brazil to i mean it literally has become a global movement and with that being said you know i think that the movement has been calling black lives matter black uterus matter black love matter but matter is is just the minimum black law are cherish their beloved they're important and they're essential to the world in much the same way as it is as all other lives are right now we're focusing on black law because they have been disproportionately impacted to littlemore of chicago thank you so much for the fitting analogy simon show and good luck to you and your colleagues thank you thank you so much. now there are a few people who know more about the recent history of protest in the united states than the co-founder of code pink medea benjamin not least because she's organized many of them but here joins me from miami florida but the of benjamin were seen
9:49 am
remarkable scenes across the united states and around the world over the last few weeks but it is 6 years since black lives matter was formed as an organization your organization code pink of taken the relieved mothers to the a-bomb of white house victims of police violence so why is it this reaction to this killing the killing of george floyd this time has provoked this reaction. when i really never know this what it is that will create a tipping point for this perhaps it was because it was just so incredibly shocking to see i'm t. . right being sucked out of a person over the course of our 8 minutes and then people felt that any of this and there are. plenty any case as you know alex this is been going on and on and i'm
9:50 am
really the 1st ladies were brought to the us but in recent terms we can name so many young black people mostly men but also remember the rights have been snuffed out from the police and at some point in unity just has to say no to lean on acceptable this is not the razor the lies nations gave and very proud of the us citizens for their reaction then we inhabit i sure vindicated i've been to so many killings in the past perhaps a 1000 a year on before a huge emphasis in towns of the minority ethnic communities i'm interested in why when you took your protest to the obama white house that the 1st black president of the united states presumably somebody who wanted to to see a change and what was happening why do you and your nice to mason was president
9:51 am
obama not able to to do more to change this position to achieve justice much challenge. it's a big question now like i said i'm not really sure i don't think he pushed hard enough i think that perhaps being a black president made it more difficult for him because he wanted to show that he was not favoring one community over another he was a very centrist president not rock the boat whether it came to issues around being the black community or issues of foreign policy that i have been so active on he really came in as somebody. that was with him our party and on the subject to push but how significant do you rate the interventions so for the top generals not to colin powell it warming the president that has directed it because the
9:52 am
devices and the fact of the the threat to deploy as a regular army on the streets of the united states there is a love affair with generals and so when these generals former general kimmitt. come out and blast the president the way they have it is. something that shot 3 community opens up people to maybe even in the republican party about the kind of backlash that has resulted from the way a presidential has failed to show any kind of compassion joys to exploited family who is the black community in this time of sorrow and instead has only divided the community when he said that your lawyer is looking down at the united states and cheering the jobs that have been
9:53 am
recently this was just a terrific example of a man that is still out as to. with representing me right now and of course a number of people really stretching from michigan law school the duchess of sussex to former president obama a base of the been issued rallying calls this is all about voting in the venda isn't just about changing the occupant of the white house autism but more to the not so much bigger than that but we do have to change the occupation in the white house to start this process in a more mature human way receive many apple is a place where doing lloyd was killed in late g.r.b. of the members and we shall go or saying that they will start a process to this and. that is just your
9:54 am
announcement where you're not sure what it means they're still not sure what it means but it is a new vision and how we too can remain a part security for good people that really does something to prove here for the public especially those who have been make them rethink malony and finally medea benjamin as you rightly say the been so many sizes and so slayings over so many use and so many of these names only half remembered what it's about this week and the reaction to jaw floyd's death which is going to make the difference in your estimation in america seps for justice. i think he came at a pretty clearly important time when we're going through the pandemic and seeing how the pandemic has actually affected the black community when
9:55 am
we have somebody in the white house who was killed combat and racism. that is both branding white nationalism when we see the growth of white nationalism in places around the world this is a moment where we've come together and said no to that you know this is the time that we can really be calling for every prioritization not just at the local women domestic level but also with the international level to take money out of our military and to invest them in peacekeeping forces in reconciliation commission it all kinds of ways to bring peace and justice to our community without using more violent maybe a benjamin and mom if lot of the find you feel was alec's aman jim thank you for having me on and george floyd is by no means the false blot monta die unjustly
9:56 am
at the hands of the police in the united states unfortunately despite the best efforts of the demos they feel such a cost to us on the cost the world is unlikely to be the less. however his death has let the blue touch paper to protest and to nationally perhaps a recognition that institutional racism in law enforcement on across society is by no means confined to america. indeed those in positions of authority and some nationally who vote to signal by taking the need for jobs floyd while ignoring substantial justice much closer to home are particularly morally culpable almost as culpable as a an american president who uses acts of the sort of to label and then tire of movement and who reeks division and stead of pouring oil and trouble waters those who see the solved of division in their own house often inherit the wind but these
9:57 am
protests differ different because of the context against which to taking place and different because we live in the social media age which can shine a light on every group because none of the abuse of power and the world which finally amount is from this wave of protest and the reality of the economic aftermath of the covert crisis will also be different perhaps better than some ways perhaps worse than many. different. i know from thais and myself and all at the show as goodbye for now stay safe and we'll see you next week.
9:58 am
our destruction of nature is connected to the spin down. that's when there's a lesson there. we need to be listening for us we're going to repeat this over and over as you continue to destroy the last wild places on earth and we come to these funds and use. this hard to take some from somebody if you know have some to replace i'm. going to do this interview today and all of these markets open then they take me. into the. area. so how can i tell you stop selling drugs if we'll hire someone to put the money in it back. then just me all the way in life it's almost
9:59 am
been basically mccullers feaster for us all or. do you guys know what's a good many security positions open house you know. david jack me again. you see people get all their cars you know see you coming in the harness seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk see her get your mail or anything like that. i just want to go. and do this. just try reading. some give me. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront ation let it be an arms race is often scary dramatic development only personally
10:00 am
i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is on to u.k. . tensions continue to play out and meet ongoing black lives matter demonstrations we hear from a community advocate. munched a base businessman attempts to trademark black lives not to protest slogans but we'll hear from the journalist who broke the story. the report claims the coronavirus pandemic has exposed and exacerbated existing inequalities in britain. migrant health care workers are still being asked to pay hundreds of pounds in
10:01 am
health service surcharges that's despite a government promised they would be exempt from the fee. and whistleblowers from 23 institutions accused care home losses of good holding information about residents testing positive for cope with 90. like lives not of protests are continuing around the world sparked by the death of unarmed black man george floyd in the us at the hands of a white police officer tensions continue to flow between demonstrators and the police with violence on both sides of the debate in the u.k. . kanter black lives matter protesters were filmed chanting go back to africa to demonstrators in the town of protestant north of london that's as 2 men were filmed assaulting police officers in hackney in london a move that conservative london merril candidate sean bailey also linked to recent
10:02 am
protests well the protests have also led to rouse over memorials for statues of slave traders targeted by demonstrators in bristol edward colston statue which was thrown into the harbor by protesters on sunday has been retrieved by the local council it's being kept in a secure location with plans to eventually place it in a museum while authorities in paul in the southern english county of dorset says the statue of the founder of the scout movement robert baden-powell now won't be removed despite concerns it could be targeted baden powell is accused of racism and supporting at all. or for all of this and are joined by community advocate scotland . holder thanks for joining us there's got to be a balance there hasn't there between concerns about statues and also the legality of their removal. would be concerned but you have to realize until all of the protests the dems are being pulled down in the 1st place is only been called down today when members of the public so many. who damaged those those
10:03 am
days have made it so that when this is really moral. and highlighted by these that you should raise 3 people who are given a role in our history but we're not very well within the museum or other location where the problem is that doesn't vandalism tarnish the movement itself. what is it that isn't organizing miners really fast lane changes and slave owners the most of the being caught in the slave trade for some some form or shape we've got growth and of these people like this gallery is linked to receiving who and then you have money in these people which we as a black community i as a black woman have had to look at nelson's column analysis that decade and wonder why with the liberating a man who was a criminal of congress. well it's also that look at the stature for instance of
10:04 am
churchill back has been vandalised has that he was a man that was lauded for stopping oppression from one of the biggest races in history. will insist that it was only for the pagan or to. contain a new year and england will not be one thing for that property from the slave trade . so. there's now a new when we ask. and i was really serious and today is the charging process by the police where they some of the dandelions the steps you know got to go all the c.d.'s of immigrants are. going to be a there's a reasonable convert to means that if you don't do research into those c.b.s. whose families may have slave trade is lame and so how do you decide who's a criminal here but the police are but the police have to try to careful line that they they don't want to inflame things they want to allow democracy and protest to
10:05 am
continue but they also don't want to let people do exactly what they want which might be criminal so they do have a fine line to tread dont they. they do also instill the. government's little boy that it's simply they saw ringback what happened with recalls didn't. look good sound all in the monuments very quickly the heritage people looking at the site clearly so the public don't have to get involved in taking that anymore because the house of the new doing that they're ready to look at the documents yesterday what i think is i some people don't want the statues taken down to that i mean is there a debate to be had and just instead of just going around just removing them isn't the debate actually part of democracy. and either people want such as jacked up believe that they 100 years in print how much of them say that they are president. and other people that people primarily and they've got to get used to little the mass of the coin being around they're no longer known to be white supremacy that
10:06 am
account that sounds great is going down we are going to have to live with it and the young people who demonstrated innocence as did other guys across the country are not going to bring our cameraman clearness the class it was all nice by 1718 year old colleges they must full time and white friends and allies simply humble the street up and speak out and as a young people. and this is now a plantation because of this and meant that she'd never been there was well there's a reality based on a lie and it needs to come down well in terms of edward caso statue that planning to put it in a museum is that the right solution. well i guess because you have a nice mind it's goes that is it and i began i don't want to look at him in a museum where the the young people and others may want to visit and see that and see and be reminded of family that they were in boldness a trait we only have to look at and are quite well now and you can find them again
10:07 am
and finally it very quickly sort if you don't mind we're seeing a lot of violence aren't we how do we can things down. inciting racial tensions where some both sides the people who were demonstrating peacefully who have nothing to do with anything in riots in iraq even some that are at the people with other agendas to me missy and it will be one is the gen the far right might also chase a lot of the london so to say well we are the more people to stay away from those dangers that makes their weakness and it's the you know there's going to be problems so you don't get arrested as a. as a young person will ask if you were in the case time. going on education that they're not these are trying to read better that we say that slightly. but it's also an issue when it's from being the minister. getting injured and my brothers were injured last week and that is not right i'm not going to sit hence stand who
10:08 am
are injured and. release it's too necessary jock there's got to be a bit more education on how people engage people in japan thank you very much for joining us. well colonial history and statues are unique to britain and i found across europe in paris around $200.00 streets take their names from past events and figures r.t. shallot events he takes us on a tour of the most controversial. harris the city of lights it could at the shadow of france's past be a violent 2 didn't that as protesters across the world are demanding the monuments and using the storable figures with links to the slave trade and colonialism of pull down how could that play out here well to start with the city would have a lot of renaming to do some 200 ave streets in squares or have
10:09 am
a colonial reference take this one all who call seems pretty innocuous right minister of louis the full team but you know you have to scratch the surface to find out that the man needs named after is accused of drawing up the code you are now in layman's terms stuff and legislation that not only to fall into considerations of slavery in french colonies but it also restricted the activities of black people who are free and what about this world who goes there all it's named of a distinguished french general but there was little to let you know that he also once was head of her sleeve owning plantation and took part in france is rooted subjugation of algeria better scrub that one off to hold her was as do all a just and a physiologist he's credited for his publications which are the oxygen could be toxic to some insects and animals now i'm not only is this street name gulf to him
10:10 am
but so too are some of the histories of the cafes here so he must be good right though it seems his theories on race were even more toxic and that we read he won't school textbooks used until the 1930 s. which claimed that white people were not only superior but also more intelligent than black chinese people apps we could just rename this street appalling burn. nothing. is one of my favorite streets even irish cities seemingly busy cafes and food shops and it will take you to weeks to ease your way through here but then there's this. as you can see it's already been targeted by someone who is less than happy with it being in plain view and then there's the p.s. to his distorts napoleon the bonaparte monuments in paris just like this one in
10:11 am
front of the movie are littered with his image peace possibly the most famous and celebrated frenchman in history but the former emperor has a checkered past and no i'm not just talking about the defeat. which is probably the way he has become a word in front synonymous with the proverbial hit in the family napoleon the bonaparte not only invaded and plundered countries like egypt and syria he also restored slavery in the caribbean the whole 8 years after it'd be abolished by france what about raising down this monument to the little corporal's victories but that's going to be a tough sell changing of the street names or even taking down the monuments may be easier to come couldn't hold the recognition but much more difficult is to raise the entire colonial history of a country like france
10:12 am
a history that these are we to out a city like this in paris instead some argue that we shouldn't change anything and instead educate people about the misdeeds of the long phrase to your age who also had a long and dark list of transgressions chose even ski party characters. well meanwhile one managed to base businessman has set his sights on trademarking the black lines not to protest slogans just to be true ones to. use the slogans for closing wristbands and all the good speech applied to trademark the phrase i can't breathe which were the final was of george floyd as well as the movement's name black lives matter he says any money raised will be used to help in the city children in manchester we're on this i'm now joined by the world's trade mark review reporter who broke the story thank you for joining us this business and says it's a charitable venture but even so can you really register a trademark for a global movement like this. people simply try.
10:13 am
to stay in the 50 that there is already around well mostly in the u.s. which i guess isn't a surprise and so on the rigs registration i think generally our offices don't take too kindly to occasions that seem to take advantage of global movements or all terms are seen as kind of positive for society what can actually be enforced i mean does it depend on the area that you live in is any apply to one country and can you trade not words or phrases. yes so so generally any entry about where and word frames can reach registration in theory. in these examples it would it would cover all of the u.k. . and. consider classes every trademark is the classes so in this instance the trademark was was to return to straighten they would be found in our
10:14 am
goods and services so they include charity response a variety of clothing and also charities and services so in theory it would only be to go and services and goods that it would be prepared to throw and also these are the things he's also apply for as well is that i mean how likely then is it to be granted do you think. well spoken to a few as minnie's on this and a lot of them acquire angry about applications like this because it's seen as almost wasting the time of examiners because generally. the whole mycenae not going to retreat destruction as there's a few reasons for that it could be deemed as bath and is taking advantage of the situation and control of i was in phrases like this could also be seen as being contrary to public policy. or even accepted principles of morality which it was he sounds very scary and it is quite rare dog out. but i think examples like that
