c that fast food restaurant. killed a 27 year old black. president. would be illegal. with. police.

police. could increase the risk of. broadcasting live. international i'm certainly glad to have you with us now we have some interesting new fresh pouring of anger in the united states city of atlanta after police fatally shot a black fast food drive through on friday. demonstrators have set a local branch of wendy's on fire torched cars and blocked

a highway the city's police chief has stepped down following the killing which took place outside the restaurant according to reports 27 year old brooks had failed a breathalyzer test and wasn't resisting arrest. meanwhile across the country in the city of seattle the mayor there has responded furiously to a threat by donald trump to deploy the military to her city to break up an autonomous zone set up by black lives matter protesters jenny durkan said any such action by the u.s. president would be against the law. our president wants to tell a story about domestic terrorists who have a radical agenda and are promoting a conspiracy and fitz's law and order initiatives it's simply not true the threat to invade seattle to divide and incite violence in our city is not only

unwelcome it would be illegal. the capitol hill autonomous zone was formed at the beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle and declared it a police free area activist doesn't read a lot explains what life is like inside the condo. i am down here in the capitol hill autonomous zone also known as chaz and the mood here is completely peaceful you can see it over here. we've got people really get some food and over here we also have free pizza at some drinks water all types of snacks we've got people handing out bags with masks and hand sanitizer literally everything you can think of and over here is the memorial that is set up to all of the people that we've lost or during the george lloyd rebellion as they're

calling it that's what the the law says of in there there's a good constant 24 hour vigil people can like candles and you know say their prayers see you know just just hang out this is the west entrance to the capitol hill autonomous zone back there we have the the precinct which is where this is where most of the violence was inactive by the police for the last 2 nights the last week or so this is where most of the stuff happened and there are still 4 main barricade points and inside is the autonomous so people are anticipating on staying as long as possible there have been several tents that have already been set up people are preparing to stay overnight main goal i would say that i could say right now is that people are they calling for the defunding of police you know nationwide we've seen this minneapolis city council. already you know completely dishpan vote to disband the minneapolis police were

calling for the same thing here in seattle we're calling for a complete defunding of the police a completely allocation and to black and brown community is where it's needed the most and so that is definitely a goal of people. i would say the number one. right now. and the b.l.m. protests are continuing in other parts of the country as well in the city in fact on friday thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets in seattle in what they called a silent protest the rally came on the same day as a federal judge ordered officers to temporarily stop using tear gas or pepper spray against the protesters there. with officers in the u.s. facing growing hostility a major in the police department in tulsa oklahoma has come under fire for claiming that african-americans aren't actually unfairly targeted travis yates says that he

has the figures to back that up as well neil harvey spoke to him earlier. you had those isolated incidents rifles and go and since that her and especially on body camera video they're shown over and over again so i think the general public thinks that's happening in the states we make 300 $50000000.00 context a year and obviously the fast majority of those there's not any instance that occur we use force less than one percent of all arrestees but when that mistake happens you know we're all healed that's going to role play into that i would encourage your audience you go to the washington post police shooting database and they come pahl the state of source you can go back and look and since 2015 if you want to look talks about the unarmed individual shot by law enforcement if you break it down between african-american and white it's 3 percent unarmed white shot unarmed and 2 percent of one or more unarmed black so they're very even numbers and you know it's race isn't a factor generally those numbers should be even there's a real sphere here in the states to actually talk about that and what i've been

trying to say is we've got to be able to we've got to be able to we can at least talk about those facts it's really hard to move forward a problem solve a piece of power and use of excessive force by police in the us who goes right back to the civil rights movement has been going on for a you know 50 is. can you understand why there are coals even like a public movement to defund the police force do you think that that is the right direction to go in given that the problems have been around for so long isn't it time to try something different or is this the case of just making a bad situation worse if you if you start to defund that's a huge huge decision and you've got to really think about law enforcement in america is it well funded now i think we're we have gone astray in america is law enforcement has been tasked with doing things that we never had to do from the mentally ill that that system is broken so law enforcement final straw that we end up you know about city percent of the people unfortunately at this country's are are mentally ill and forcing off which doesn't always know that on

a sunny and so i actually. just on some programs of the law enforcement to try to take some of that burden away from law enforcement what you can't do is you can't take funding to law enforcement and then asked law enforcement do the same exact work just for the very good. thousands of anti-racism demonstrators gathered in the center of paris on saturday to protest against police brutality and widespread discrimination there. i. have. proof that this movement has moved beyond the united states the protests call the by the black lives matter movement saw protesters climb a building to tear down a huge banner denouncing anti-white racism the banner had been placed there by a group of far right activists from the generation identity group anti-racism demonstrators also jumped on statues held flares and marched with signs the largely peaceful rallies took place despite a national crowd

a virus related ban on gatherings of more than 10 people police tried to disperse demonstrators there with tear gas. it is essential to improve the system because we are talking about systematic violence here it's not just police violence there is up here is discrimination overall inequality goes way too deep we need to reform the system in order to create equal conditions for all. those with no support we need to support this battle against racism this is extremely important it's our duty as french people now after everything this happened. to join their people you know what this is a special day for us because we're showing our support for the families of those host the way too early those who were commemorating today besides we are protesting against the violence we've been facing in the poor districts for a long time now this demonstration is a possibility to speak up to deliver a point and express our anger with the situation. i think something historic is

happening now in france i came here today to support those faced discrimination that was experienced as well i can see that people with different skin colors and ours are treated differently this is happening in poor districts as well as demonstrations i came here to support those people being treated differently. meanwhile 10000 officers took to the streets of paris on friday on the other side of the issue against new. government measures to ban choke hold during arrest law enforcement marched along with. carrying banners saying no police no peace alongside marked cars honking their horns in a similar demonstration the day before officers threw handcuffs on the ground this comes after the french interior minister banned police from using chokeholds in arrests describing that as a dangerous method but the general secretary of the french police union is refusing to budge. and the statement by christopher accustomed there this monday is

unacceptable he was talking about ben in choke holes in the rest but this is used to an identification just like i and my colleagues were told we are using this method against those who resist identity checks or arrests you know that to avoid this collation of the situation in the police christopher custom issued revised the current stance on this and confirming the matter of ours that this ban will not be introduced moreover a list of new methods should be introduced that would be as effective and provide safety for my colleagues otherwise the police protests going on right now across france will continue. far right demonstrators gathered in central london on saturday claiming that they were rallying to defend a statue of winston churchill which was recently defaced by anti-racism activists some of the protesters clashed with police and black lives matter supporters a bit of a warning you may find to some of the following images disturbing. thank you very

much i. i i. i. i. this is the designated meeting place for right wing groups who say that they have come here to defend britain's cultural heritage to defend its monuments however there have been a number of clashes with police that have taken place throughout the day here where police were charged police had bottles thrown at them and in other parts of london in the black lives matter demonstrations they've been making their way from hyde park down towards the square and much of the controversy that surrounded the black

lives matter protest has been around the vandalism in attacks on statues which are connected with britain's colonial past last week for instance in bristol the statue that cost in the slave trade was taken down thrown into the river and winston churchill who normally can be seen behind me here had his pedestal dog with the slogan was a racist now in response to that the mayor of london city can decided that he would board up this statue in a number of others but only to protect it from any further damage now that decision has proved controversial and enlisted an angry response from the prime minister you've got a situation in which the statue of winston churchill who is a national hero has had to be boarded up for fear of a violent attack and that to me is both absurd and and should not have a situation which people who are protesting on one basis are. that the attacking

the police public property and it's not just politicians that have strong views on what city con this is cited to do here we were out on the streets of london finding out exactly what's locals think about cities qantas's and to board up the structures here in holland where i guess people will hate to defend so instead choose and i suppose people defended it was a poor people trying to take it down because the tribe says look at things from both perspectives this is good history behind it a lot of the stuff should be taken down at the guy or gold itself that bought the pot i think you should be thinking that this is insulting for all the people who are living in the world where that should be a cd. meanwhile in the northern city of newcastle scuffles broke out on saturday as black lives matter activists faced off with counter demonstrators army veterans along with football fans and right wing activists encircled the monument to former prime minister earl grey saying they would defend it from anti-racism groups

earlier a contributor to the guardian newspaper had suggested taking down the statue claiming it is linked to slavery though he was mocked online as slave really was actually abolished under this particular premier we gauged people's opinion in the city on that monument. to create a delicious bill. the slavery of the. bill was passed when he was prime minister of. civic what he was famous both he was famous for taking. totally disagree with that he was to. get rid of slavery feel like i don't know enough about his interest in slavery as to whether it's a good or bad thing so i couldn't say until i knew that more about it. she generally this should be taken down because nobody likes to you know anything a push to not be as it is causing offense in any leadership of this museum and we

can have this just you know history show named i'm sure that some of them probably do need demolishing but as with so often the situations what starts off as a good thing or tends to go back to. let's take this monument by its finest and one that would talk in question if not was taken down it wouldn't be reassessed because it could still put in some heritage site which will flow safety if he's in a book in a in need in website if he can be safe online days if the people who. are on these wanted to represented on these monuments. at certain person in slavery call that their own profit and i think it needs to do seriously looked at whether we have them and as points of reference of points power. even mind all of this racial tension is happening amidst a backdrop of a global pandemic there is concern the use of tear gas could hugely increase the

spread of covert $1000.00 among protesters the issue has been highlighted in an open letter signed by almost 1300 u.s. public health and medical professionals it comes amid the nationwide protest against racism that has been raging for 2 and a half weeks now. oppose any use of tear gas smoke or other respects irritants which could increase risk for coated 19 by making the response of tree tractable sceptical to infection exacerbating existing inflammation and in juicing coughing apart from chronic virus related health concerns there are also some other issues prolonged exposure to the gas or a large dose especially in a closed setting can lead to blindness it can also leave severe chemical burns of the throat and lungs and even deadly respiratory failure but philadelphia's police commissioner still argues riot control agents remain the safest way to disperse crowds. the deployment of tear gas was a means to save to diffuse

a volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that all the measures when effective in accomplishing that necessary objective mohammad more near a viral a just at the u.k.'s lancaster university believes concerns about the current use of tear gas are justified. actually then we look on to the display issue track inspection they are very easy to be transmitted and one of the contributing factors ford econoline is too surprised and take the whole word on nice they didn't for 5 months as is traditionally a treatment of transmission so anything that can expose the respiratory tract or create any additional damage to the spirit interaction is something that it would certainly have dividers to any trade into the body otherwise we could probably be protected so therefore ready to construct a strange exacting section tempered i'm excited caller said really good at keeping the other rescue track healthy is not running toward it and having to tear gas is

certainly not a good choice in a biskit condition in particular to someone who is infected with a groan a lot as well as ask for money or 'd other cuomo to be deities in terms of this critic sackings actions over their own community diseases if they would be under the tear gas or similar kind of type or even deck mean that david because maybe more and hard coffee can electrify just to trouble you any longer than to meet it is to study we don't really consume so this means the widest translation would be even more and to explore many people in the vicinity would be don't get exposed. with donald trump attempting to drum up support ahead of november's election the president is reiterating his promise to end america's endless wars more on that after a short break this is watching tonight. that's

welcome back this is our team international and donald trump has declared that he is going to put an end to endless wars in a speech at the west point military academy on saturday now the president also stressed that it is not america's job to act as the world's policeman the anti interventionist message was reminiscent of pronouncements made during his 2016 campaign. we are ending the era. of endless wars it is not the duty of u.s. ships to solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands. that many people have never even heard of. we are not the policemen of the world they drag this it to foreign wars

that make us less they shipped our jobs sidwell's to other countries and our borders wide open it in 2016 trump made the same promises to the american people and he was elected partly because of that because the american people are getting very tired of the endless war that's gone on since $911.00 and watching their tax dollars go to the military while they don't have jobs while they don't have housing proper housing while they don't have medicare so they voted in in large numbers for trump but he failed to deliver he today the u.s. is still mired in the so-called endless wars what trump is doing is he's focusing inward and he is at the same time at tacking international institutions and attacking the very idea of multilateralism so he is trying to appeal to

a certain constituency in his speech to the west point grads of isolationists in the usa. so let's not take a swing around the globe to look at some other stories making headlines this hour. authorities in china say 18 people were killed and over 160 injured when a truck carrying a liquefied gas exploded on a highway in the eastern province of jang on saturday now officials said the blast was so powerful it destroyed nearby homes and factories creating an immense fireball and plumes of thick black smoke the cause of the disaster is under investigation. in south america there have been some emotional reunions in a care home in south paolo brazil after a local businessman decided to donate

a quote hug curtain residents who hadn't seen their loved ones for months were finally able to reconnect the entrepreneur plans to produce more of the plastic curtains for care homes across the city which has been at the center of the country's corona virus outbreak. with the world's nightlife industry taking tentative steps towards reopening one cocktail bar in seoul korea has found a novel way to entice customers back this robot named combo is able to carve perfectly round balls of ice and to serve dozens of different drinks all while while get this making conversation the bar's boss says that it is helpful and it has put customers at ease south korea has been on alert since experiencing a recent surge in covert 1000 infection. switching gears now a long time professor at a top us college has been placed on leave after refusing special treatment for

black students a group of students had asked u.c.l.a. teacher gordon kline for the final exam to be postponed for them due to the impact of george floyd's death this was klein's response. any idea if any students are from minneapolis i assume that they probably are especially devastated as well i'm thinking that a white student from them might possibly be even more devastated by this especially because some might think that they're racist even if they're not but the punishment of klein has forged it deep divisions with opposing petitions appearing in response one is demanding that he's fired while the other wants of the 27 year lecturer reinstated the petition supporting the professor has so far gained more signatures we discussed the issue with author and political analyst reese everson and the political and social issues you tube or and blogger anthony brian logan. he literally made a mockery of the fact that people who were experiencing george floyd death

and dealing with the trauma of that as an african-american person in america that they would have any type of real trauma he dismissed it he made a mockery of it and frankly it's disgusting that he would and disappointing frankly that someone in his position would be a little the experience of students that he's supposed to be caring for and what he said what he was talking about as far as white people that may live in minneapolis feeling a little bit more sympathetic they could be right because that person that brought the complaint to begin with was what he said of course white ally so i mean where was a black person that came for and say can we take off exams can exams that count because we're going through with thing people don't know this may they're not related to him so how can it really be so overtaken with grief so the point where they can just go by the number every day life i thought that was really ridiculous i thought it was an excellent e-mail betty prefers the same i don't know george for him

personally but as a black woman in america and maybe a.b.l. himself doesn't have this experience and maybe he doesn't identify in his blackness but as a black woman in america i remember being pulled over by the police because i was african-american i remember feeling afraid for my life i know what it's like to have people who are african-american that i care about come in contact with the police and fear for their very life and because of that the death of george floyd resonates with me strongly and it's a morning when women at me being a woman when i know that i can birth a child who will be killed or who can be killed simply because of the color of his skin i'm going to use on my hero as a horrible about the blackness but not the whole blackness part i mean i come from who you are grew up in the mostly like predominately black area all my life i know what it's like i did like adult bullets most black people come into my window i know what it's all about so there's always thing about oh maybe you don't identify i know are different than if i know what a rule. grief i know where there were problems of coming from a train from the white man and from the police is from my eyes so when i see people

i are grieving for george miller you know ok your mind will do you might you might say you didn't hear him saying oh you know here's a behavior for weeks you don't you don't know this man you could be a group or for weeks people at worst people give you more for george floyd and it would for their own grandmama warner on granddaddy i don't really understand the b. issue and that is not accurate either that's not accurate i can't say people in the eye can see what we're seeing are black people who are responding to a collective body of pain if you're familiar with the phrase pain body there is a collective pain body of hundreds of years of pain from oppression slavery and other things that have basically impacted the mind in a lot of black people carry what we call a post-traumatic stress disorder because of the x. i don't i don't have a i don't i don't i we can feel maybe a.b.l. you when you see the police maybe if you've been pulled over you're not concerned that they seem black 1st and that you're a man 2nd but many people in this country who walk around you know an

african-american skin or black skin have that fear and it's a very real concern one thing i would say to anybody it is i who i actually don't care because you are if you're feeling bad for black people because of one person and i don't do that just be honest just be yourself and there is no need to be you know intentionally nasty or intentionally just overly nice to just be room and what he was doing in a letter was being a rule and if you are against racism if you get screaming nation you should be in favor of what he said in the later he's like look i'm not going to treat black students any differently i'm not going to give anybody any kind of special anything because they do skin color there by going to do same. or that does it for me for today i'll be back again tomorrow with another look at your news but stay with us here on arch international throughout the day as we bring you the world's top headlines this is international.
