morning live from arts international's world news h.q. here in moscow is kevin oh into the light to do with you for the next hour with the latest having stick with me as well as it take you through the headlines and starting with this new video has been released by the family attorney for george floyd whose death sparked 3 weeks of unrest around the world that shows horrified by standards pleading with an officer to intervene as he stand stone faced while derek show presses his knee on floyd's neck the word of warning the video we're about to show you is distressing. i know. right bro you has now moved now more you. know 3 men you know now who do you. grow you know you do the movie get over the marriage broke but you know movie.

roles. meantime the autopsy of a black man fatally shot by police in the us city of atlanta on friday is confirmed his death as homicide 27 year old ray shot brooks failed a roadside breath test officers say then resisted arrest robbing an office is tasered before attempting to flee to pointing it at one of the officers who was shot twice in the back and died later in hospital distressing video of that incident which you're about to show you was captured on police body cameras. are not rare or few see what kind of drinks did yeah. i'm not sure some see orders on i think you've had too much to drink to be tried as much as one of our point. of questions right about. i don't know how to stop by. the death of brooks's further inflame the country

already riven by civil strife following the murder george floyd protest to set fire to the restaurant near where brooks was killed the mayor of atlanta later said the officer who pulled the trigger had been sacked while the other who is there has been suspended the city's police chief has also stepped down a decision will be made later this week on whether or not to bring charges against the offices an attorney on the case told us what he expects to happen next. people are going to try to argue on both sides but georgia law is quite clear you cannot use lethal force in response to non-lethal force 'd so i think that both salsas will be charged with murder and we've had conversations with the district 'd attorney in this case and he's opened an independent investigation separate and apart from the georgia bureau of investigation and people need to understand that law enforcement is not alone in georgia the law in georgia happens in courtrooms you cannot use. you cannot use lethal force to match lethal force there is a case of tennessee versus gardner united states free in court cases stands for

their opposition so i. think that this case is going to end up in a superior court of form sharing with murder charges against both officers. the race riots may be rooted in the problems of 2020 but it's also forcing the united states to face up to its history with protesters targeting statues to prominent american civil war figures who are indelibly linked to slavery kellam open next looks at how essential in a half later those bitter wounds are refusing to heal the u.s. civil war ended over 150 years ago at least officially but the confederacy went on to fight another day on the cultural front its flag and historical figures have become an essential part of many americans identity but it seems the time has come for its last stand can you imagine jefferson davis. alexander stephens. treason. against united states and the statue i still have because their state put

him here robert e. lee jefferson davis and alexander stevens actually have statues within the u.s. capitol building but now the call is coming for those statues to finally be removed 150 years later the possibility has never been so real confederate statues in monuments to pay tribute to white supremacy and slavery and public spaces it is time to tell the truth about what these statues are hateful symbols that have no place in our society and certainly should not be enshrined in the u.s. capitol the confederate flag is a symbol that many southerners as well as even low income whites in other parts of the country have come to identify with now the declaration is coming from the halls of power saying that it's time for this to come to an end the u.s. military with the backing of the u.s. senate is talking about changing the name of bases named after confederates this does not sit well with the president it has been suggested that we should rename as

many as 10 of all legendary military bases my administration will look to even consider the renaming of these magnificent and fabled military installations as the most diverse an integrated part of american society it is only right that installations bear the names of military heroes who represent the best ideals of our republic all across the country confederate monuments are being beheaded toppled and there's a friendly map to help you plan your next target nascar has banned the displaying of confederate flags at the racetrack the presence of the confederate flag at nascar events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our fans our competitors and our industry the display of the confederate flag will be prohibited from all nascar events and properties a film that has long been considered to. that classic of american cinema is no longer available on h.b.o. max with the way of life captured the imagination and acclaim of the entire world.

the confederacy was defeated in 865 us constitution outlaws the practice of slavery due to an amendment furthermore robert e. lee's ranch has been converted into arlington national cemetery so why are americans still clashing over a war that ended over 150 years ago i understand what many people who are pessimistic about the future of the united states of america because this is a war is not with him it is continuing under a different guise and it would not be outlandish to suggest that the opponents of tearing down these statues objectively or pushing for kind of 2nd class 3rd class citizenship if that were

black americans in for any people not defined as white and as long as that kind of permission is idiology persist there will be a simmering civil war in the united states of america as we saw in charlottesville 2 years ago and elsewhere in other parts of the country many americans have a strong emotional attachment to these confederate symbols and they're willing to fight that with one side being branded as nazis and the other side being branded as domestic terrorists civil tensions are high at this point they're set to flare up even further as the war against honoring the confederacy rolls on caleb mup and r.t. new york. divisive all humans are all sort of scrutiny in europe to what was supposed to be the last thing tributes to history's great and the. good now this seen by many as tormenting symbols of the races past on saturday case in point that a statue of right wing italian journalist in drew nearly was defaced in

a park there it is the monument was smeared with red paint and tiger the words racist and rapist back story here in the 1930 s. months nearly bought and married a 12 year old girl from eritrea which she later justified as a local tradition there are now a chorus of calls to get a start she removed saying it serves only to represent colonial abuses with more on europe soul searching at the moment here's peter oliver. the killing of george floyd by u.s. police has sparked outrage around the world with some of the anger being vented at statues and monuments deemed to be symbols of reassess them.

while in germany large black lives the demonstrations have being peaceful affairs here and in neighboring switzerland there are calls for the renaming of streets pharmacies and even cakes to to racially insensitive names swiss supermarkets a currently reviewing whether to stalk more and kopf and more in cancun dock chocolate sweet treats that take the name from the would mourn mua in english it's a new used in the past for people from north west africa if the mirror in cold fades such a big problem then we've forgotten something much more important i look at africa and see a continent with the most natural resources but which is poor because we cheese africa every day everything that is bad we have done that goes back hundreds of years and now we have the delusion that changing the name of the chocolate will solve the problem that's beyond my comprehension the largest supermarket chain in

switzerland has already decided to pull the product. we decided to remove the product from the range the current to be here has prompted astoria says the situation we are aware that this decision will also lead to discussions pharmacies being called more an architect has been a target for until racism campaign is in german speaking countries for a while now it used to mean that the pharmacy stocked alternative medicines from the east and slap bang in the center of berlin is more than strasser renaming this street is a priority for a song to say the word morning should be struck from the lexicon that's why i immediately said m. street it's just like the n. word it's just as a bird only there are 2 different names but they're the same last week the underground station here was temporarily renamed george floyd strasser a permanent name change though may not be forthcoming the street names are always

associated with personal memories with a feeling of home the street name can be as creepy as it once the emotional connection to a place predominates street names are not the property of the residents george lloyd killing happened over 7000 kilometers away in minnesota but the aftershocks and implications for how to deal with a past that doesn't live up to today's standards are being felt far and wide peter all over r.t. . there's still no shortage of support for but lives matter movement right now but perhaps not all journey would maybe later we hear claims that social media influences the leaping on board zoli so they can boost their own online popularity a report coming up. the french president has declared the country's 1st victory over the coronavirus in a televised address on sunday among them across described france as a green zone when the authorities have the virus of the control but the emphasize

that the fight is not over more than from our paris correspondent charlotte dubin ski. another address from president mack or in many claims is an attempt to gain momentum as we head into the presidential elections in 2 years' time i mean 2022 but this was the 1st time that he addressed the divisiveness in the nation at the moment as those protests in the wake of drew which oh it's definitely not states have also been hitting hard fronts with anti racism protests an anti police brutality protest still maku said that divisiveness was rife in the country but he said the fronts would stand up to racism anti-semitism but he said in the wake of those schools across the world to stop jews to be removed the streets to be renamed the front's would not be rewriting its history. the republic any trace or any name from its history she will not forget any of its must

to pieces will not demolish any statute we must look at deny who we are all this of course comes on the back of an unprecedented health crisis with 19 and the future president said current be build unless the country moves on from the shambles that it is in at the moment and that's largely in reference to the protests we've seen which made for the large part of being known violent but they have descended in parts into clashes between the police and protesters particularly again all over the weekend when police don't protest is marching down the streets. i. 7 think. the president might concede there is more say not only does he face

a presidential elections wishing she knew. it is time but in the weeks time there also with this apology elections here in france which would delay just result of the job it 19 and to make these parties on the move is expected to receive a severe pasting things like shouldn't we also know the present backwards party has lost its absolute majority in the parliament with defections over the past few weeks and he himself who saw his opinion polls to stop at the beginning of the crisis with how he was handling it have seen them come back down to earth with a bump more recently and despite pledging no tax increases as a result of this crisis the reevaluation over the pay of medical stuff we know that the government is facing many questions in the way that it handles a crisis with dozens and dozens of lucy's best using the government of negligence

said using it or man's france is also looking forward to many say to the worst recession it's experiencing is the 2nd or so mark calls involves easing hiding up the practice by sickness here in france continues that his words last night that france was about to experience this summer like the weather maybe exactly what we'll see. them 16 am good morning from russia then this is arts international with me kevin now in thanks to time to come on our per cluster of new coronavirus cases in china nearly a dozen districts in beijing a lot down as maybe 2nd wave would get into that after this break.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those with. they are saying. we. ask. we're seeing the rise of a new secular religion and it's called both use them at the moment in a short history its goal and racism by well everything is now races the believers in this cult i'm a. criticism really never told how racism is to be eradicated or how it helps serve the interests of.

china is locked down 10 more neighborhoods in beijing to contain a new corona virus outbreak linked to a food market in the capital chinese officials say the new cases were found in a 2nd food market where several employees tested positive it's reported that they're all linked to a market where an outbreak was registered last week it was shut down on saturday tens of thousands of nearby residents are now being tested in the country seen a spike in numbers after many weeks of reporting small numbers of new cases it's now registering dozens of new infections for the 2nd day in a row where budge would show joins us now he's a professor at the paris school of business in china southwestern university of finance and economics let's get a word from him on how this is going down in the part of the world their time today

how worried are the chinese and the authorities in beijing about this news that i've just told of you is about now the. i think they are getting it very tired at this time. and in. the measured 80000 samples have been penned in just one day on sunday with 59 positive and then more than. $6000.00 workers at a market nearly 7 percent of them happy. and this is good news that they all returned negative so i think but even. the safest place right now and almost in china. about a pandemic if it can be service in china it could happen in any place in the world but you can see where people are concerned about the initial source but maybe where this came from accent or how it developed the worry is that this might be the small

start of a 2nd wave that is what will people in beijing what the chinese are saying or not. well. it could be that's why but i don't think right now the threat has seen very. widespread especially poor fraud because many countries are blocking traffic from china so this might not be the most worrying thing at the moment and probably whether it's already by the a beta or not the country is so the full cheese at the moment really these markets . tyrant spike is under control is that the fault or not. well we have to be careful about more. about the origin and about the term mission mechanism so at the time he's. looking into it quite likely scenario that the ballot now could lead to a real and see what temperature and he had to carry through coaching storage across

the country look side of the of iraq without this wall connected to what solomon import to come up with the. right any relevance of the fire that is food markets maybe not not not not wed live markets but but food markets involve luxuries a place where people congregate there are very close proximity we saw the pictures there people wearing masks except for but is there any connection between it being a food market again. extremely good question right now scientists already showed that many simulation model can creep back in. exchange it's not necessary markets are perhaps more conducive to spreading not necessarily related to market per se but scientists also showed that the corner of. public cloud in caps and thoughts are not there not at the moment but. it could be from.

cantelli of water just got 10 seconds more what's the basic feeling amongst people in china at the moment are they worried about a 2nd wave of this sort of they think the authorities are going to handle it really briefly. i mean people are competent about the procedures. their way right now there are no new painters and a lot of new places. they're isolated and spreading right now our progress ok all keeping a close eye on it thank you for your input to the program so telling us what's going on in china benjamin show profess that much appreciated have a good day ever get. the rush of support for black lives matter a campaign to the current climate see big names race to show their solidarity now also major brands and celebrities of course are in it to pressure for change there's also suspicion of the motives behind social media influences such could turn over the next today looks at how some see more concerned about their own reputations than equal rights. group i was

a serious contact. if anything could be exact this is themselves you know legal route snuffly through the rest of us so will it be true to start to think that while you can always hear there's a rush. it's finally some nice thought so that's fun. they were horrified though to find that phone while painting with as many like notifications as they'd expect it apparently came as a real surprise that this one of the biggest civil rights uprisings in decades was not about their house title shocking but some brave ones continue to validate
