traditional. this demonstrates that struggle is very real. turning violent with. the government. also ahead on the program. korean relations further. north. wargames in the dim militarized busy borders. its neighbor will pay a price. and hitting the german politicians.

with russia calling the restrictions. of the world this is are to international hope you're having a fine when they so far welcome to the program. let's begin in france where nationwide rallies by health care workers over the past 24 hours saw some ugly scenes tens of thousands turned a mine that government pledged to help medical stuff on support hospital but as the day progressed the peaceful protests took a darker turn. i

think this is video showing a nurse being injured during a file and the rest of the rally in paris and how sparked a furious reaction it's been reported that she was detained for killing project daughter who's a journalist left her defense we're talking. about. this woman is my mother she's 50 years old and nurse she worked for 3 months between 12 and 14 hours a day she had to be 19 she was demonstration so that would be erased that who work would be recognized she's this matic she has her uniform on she's on the one meter 55 toll. and also 2 camera operators from r

t france were injured while filming some of the unrest when people began throwing stones at police both receive treatment from medical workers who were at the romney camp. when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods the government's buck completely bombing chokeholds after opposition from officers more in that note from charlatans. francis interior minister promised 0 tolerance on racism among the forces a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and police tell us he unleashed following the death of george floyd in the us free stuff yesterday even. during his speech. the joke called method known as the strangulation method will be abandoned and will no longer be taught in police

schools it was a method that had its dangers in addition if a police officer has to keep someone on the ground during their arrest they will now be prohibited from leaning on their head or neck protesters hailed cast in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions described the technique as essential. my colleagues who use the choke hold which we call the takedown technique don't do it for the fun of it they do it because they're dealing with a very individual who doesn't want to be taken down as union is demanding to walk so this is turned out to protest throwing their hand cuffs. on the butt of what i would not allowed to intervene in certain neighborhoods because we don't want the young people to rebel so we have to let a certain amount of delinquency go in certain neighborhoods and then we're told that if we control them then we're racist. how do we proceed with individuals who refused to be arrested were under the effect of narcotics alcohol if they take away

our working methods there won't be possible anymore it all proved too much for the interior ministry it's now made a u. turn on the chokehold ban suspending it until a so-called alternative can be found now human rights organizations have stepped in . it is unfortunate that interior minister custom there reconsider his decision to abandon the practice of chokehold and the danger of which he himself could recall that when the ban was briefly in place it was announced the french police would start to test stun guns for wide use and there seems to be no backtracking on this as that decision was being taken across the atlantic this happened which is one of. those of the stuff. that was stun guns so in limited but increasing use in france up almost 70

percent between 2017 and 2019 last year the use of stun guns proved fatal once while others suffered severe injuries while stun guns or increasingly becoming the weapon of choice of course europe enforced even the police concern us. we must understand that when the police use force because there is someone who doesn't want to obey the law when the technique is banned from the police must be given a solution and we agree that a stun gun is not the solution and what forces him buckled in a row over whether or not the force is all racist too brutal or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control friends suspects being severely beefed up. just in your past there is a real problem of racism there's a document check principle based on appearance there is

a certain cover up of the problems there denial is institutional in nature the republican not exist without the police which means it is necessary to act and it is necessary to act quickly to trust in the police in france is necessary condition for national unity as long as hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are afraid to meet the police. when they go out into the streets this indicates a serious problem a significant function in our public. police reform also on the cards in the us president trumps executive order to overhaul the law enforcement the part of the nation wide more later in the. north korea is threatening to send troops into the de-militarized borders or all but why it's a deal to reduce tensions with the side agreed barely 2 years ago on choose they've been north blew up the only negotiation i post between the 2 countries sending their heavily strained relationship to

a dangerous new low they artillery units deployed to the level of the from guard duty to top class combat duty system through all the front line and all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary of the north actually take such a move it will certainly pay the price for it. well the demolition of the empty i post in the border town of k song was shown on north korean t.v. . and this really was the culmination of weeks of this with the scythe which pyongyang blames for stalled peace talks failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda but the north's automating could be about attracting attention from much further afield for shelf breaks there. is nothing easy in the relationship between north and south from an all out war 2 decades of indecision

and now even this tentative peace might be falling apart a liaison office right on the border was meant to incentivise talks between the neighbors well instead it is literally being blown away now here is a very unequivocal message from kim jong un sr the for law and the tragic scene of the useless nor south joint liaison office completely collapsed would be seen corresponding to the mindset of the enraged people to surely force human scum and those who have sheltered the scum to pay dearly for their crimes in office was tragically ruined with a terrific explosion it comes amid an escalation between the 2 neighbors pyongyang for instance has been ramping up threats to move in the army 7 into the now demilitarized zone skeptics though saying that all of this is just diversion tactics and really kim wants the attention of washington never again will we

provide the u.s. chief executive with another package to be used for achievements without receiving any returns nothing is more hypocritical than an empty promise think it's just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda. which they say that's why they did it but it's highly unlikely that that is the only reason we can. as for them to risk alienating seoul and really getting back on the bad side of the potential of the united states because of this aggressive act it's very difficult to believe that it's simply because of some fliers that were you know desperate distributed over to the border in north korea so i definitely believe that this is there are a kind of a last he'll marry attempt to really get america's attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the u.s. now so i think that's why they're resorted to such a aggressive act that they are otherwise maybe wouldn't have done in their eyes

they're probably thinking well we tried diplomacy we tried talking to trump we tried sitting down with the south korean president we tried taking the diplomatic peaceful route but well it's not really gotten us anything and we're still being hurt by the sanctions our economy is in shambles. everyone's ignoring us internationally right now and nothing's really going on that's helping us really so we haven't really got much out of it but something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. to another headline stories this hour there is an anger in the german parliament aimed at the united states over threatened sanctions linked to the major north stream to gas pipeline project with russia the head of the economic and energy affairs committee wants the government to consider contra measures here's our europe correspondent peter all over. well this latest move by the united states has caused across the political divide here in germany earlier in the week. we had the german foreign minister

saying that relations between washington and berlin at the moment worth well difficult is how he described it that was over donald trump's decision to pull u.s. troops out of germany well that relationship is equally as problematic when you look at the north stream to project washington is currently threatening crippling sanctions against companies that are involved in that project that is straight up a legal according to the chairman of the bundestag committee for economic affairs and energy. and we've got work to do against companies but also gives governments it is an unlawful in the legal system in europe and there's also a german absorbency well the u.s. senators including texas as ted cruz have put forward a bill in the united states that would put the sanctions on any company and

insurance firm related to those companies involved in the laying of undersea gas pipelines as part of the north stream project now the german foreign minister the german government saying they reject that out of hand the fact that sanctions are being considered or could possibly be nice she did in the united states does not change anything in our position and nor it's true to dissension has been discussed now are extraterritorial by nature from our point of view we reject them the german government has long had the view that sanctions with extra territorial effects are in conflict with international law and that they're not a contribution to advancing international corporation nor stream to is the name suggests the 2nd phase in that this underwater gas pipeline project it takes russian gas directly from russia into germany. multi-billion euro project involves companies from a number of different nations it had been supposed to be open running by 29 team

pressure from the united states has forced delays washington says this pipeline gives moscow too much of a hand in the european energy sector however politicians here in berlin well they think they may be and altieri a motive behind the united states protests. and the aim of these actions from the united states is not from our perspective to reduce dependence on russia but rather the goal is naturally to be able to sell their own gas to europe and that is easier to do with less gas is delivered from russia i.e. the trade relations in the energy sector would be susceptible disturbed. historically not a lot has changed here even in the darkest hours of the cold war west germany as it was then bought energy from the u.s.s.r. as it was then what we have here though is essentially who's going to blink 1st the

german government are insisting it's not going to be them they say this german energy policy is who germany buys its energy from is german business and that donald trump the united states and any u.s. senators that want to get involved well they should think twice about doing that. quarter of an hour into the program on the way a former politician ticks it to extremes to save a statue for a month to recess and protesters as are to report some minor stories after the break. the world is driven by.

no dares thinks. we here to ask. the people's republic of just a non-conformist or a politically correct. nonetheless the experiment being played out in seattle is no laughing matter the ideas of law and order and the legitimate use of force are it's a piece of advice go visit. us visit you.

hello again police reform in america is in motion president trump signed an executive order to overhaul police departments across the country it is the strongest federal level action yet after weeks of often violent unrest against police brutality following the death of george floyd rival democrats have their own ideas about how to improve policing criticising the trumpet ministrations humbling of a crisis during a senate hearing. people are demanding action. they are not marching in the streets for a watered down proposals that won't hold any officers accountable and there is nothing about what the president announced today that would hold police officers who break the rules and break the law accountable because of existing laws that basically give carte blanche to law enforcement to kill it will with the utterance of these 3 words i'm sorry these 5 words i feared for my life hard for rare prosecutions and

difficult convictions have characterized the experiences of families like both. he was killed in his apartment complex even a bowl of ice cream during the 8 years of president obama was there never to get rid of qualified immunity for police officers there were conversations and many conversations was there no registration there was not legislature any legislation and no knock warrants. not to my knowledge was any legislation created a national registry for. by the police there were efforts to create a national registry i mean was it things were included in the 21st century police imply just missed a lot of that so you know this is a tough time for the country and. a handful but we're not here because of the failings of one administration or because of failing that society or from the the public protests police reform. since widened into calls in some quarters to despond entire law enforcement

departments defund the police has become a rallying cry of some black lives and indeed from some democratic politicians to your party's killam up and with more. it's been 3 weeks of almost nonstop protesting since the death of george florida. the president has now signed an executive order banning the use of the show cold unless the police officers life is in danger however protesters say that doesn't go far enough they want donald trump to defund the police but the president says he is not willing to do that i strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend dismantle them dissolve our police departments without police there is chaos without law there is an arche and without safety there is catastrophe so what is in

this executive order well it provides federal funding for deescalation training furthermore it encourages the police to be accompanied by social workers when dealing with drug addicts the homeless or the mentally ill it creates a federal database of complaints so police officers can't go from job to job to job after being fired for brutality now trump clearly hopes these moves will appease the growing unrest however the protesters seem satisfied with his moves trump's executive order is too thin this and meaningless we don't need studies when he believes that commit crimes to be punished all police that use chokeholds claimed their lives were threatened what's new this attempt to consing is down from u.s. president donald trump comes after he promised a crackdown on seattle where protesters have set up what they call an autonomy zone after the local government vacated a police precinct of a governor that doesn't do

a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesn't know she's alive she's talking about it's going to be a love fest this summer you know if they don't do the job i'll do the job and i've already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they don't do the job we will do the job well and. about 10 different things either any one of which will solve the problem quickly the crackdown in seattle would certainly fit donald trump's desired image as a law and order president but if the local government in seattle including the mayor is not willing to go along with it it'll be pretty hard for the president to pull it off now the protesters at this point are not exactly running for cover and with a lackluster executive order they're unlikely to be off the streets anytime soon. are new york. with the resurgent black lives matter movement hitting its stride worldwide and politicians both sides of the atlantic up you know freeing their soul of dorothy but perhaps

a few should check their own track record when it comes to modern slavery in north africa that's our senior correspondent but i guess the it has been examining for the enterprise and politician an income but by the way to the more eyelets ian principles and empathy every crisis is an opportunity a free ride to relevance on the backs of the rejected and they did jack to watch them and learn barack obama and to whom the ok street protest with brutally suppressed with battens and rubber bullets and tear gas he's now applauding the protesters hillary clinton whose phone us for footballing things has led to a new black slave industry in libya and she's now tweeting tag black lives not. this chart tells an incredible story of the power of black life's matter as a mass movement your fellow american sahara and you keep marching over the past few

weeks we've seen young people in every corner of the country step up and become leaders through organization and mobilization they're showing us that we can sustain this momentum to bring about real change at the end of the day this is a cruel and unjust world for most war as war and politics is politics take libya as an example a decade ago it was well a state it had little or it was ruled by an autocrat but there was one of the richest states in africa people didn't need to flee to europe to find peace but then came european and american jets and bombs and the people rather supporting the people of libya as they build a future that is free and democratic and prosperous for text by regime forces for the libyan citizens.

we. see how can you complain about migrants and having to pay for them when you yourself made life hell for them in their own country will region look at libya now there is no law its chaos multiplied by civil war to the power of anarky slave markets in 2020 where a black slave can be bought for $200.00 human life for $200.00. migrants are being sold in the market as a commodity something human beings is becoming a trend among smugglers because the smuggling networks in libya are becoming

stronger and stronger if you go to the market you can pay between $2500.00 to get a migrant here is an idea why don't you the enterprise and politician go to libya go to the slave market their outdoors in the sweltering heat walk up to the slave live past the auctioneers and tell them to their faces that it's not your fault that they're there how they should stay there in that live and not try to escape to europe and then add to how you think that their lives matter through in beer lemme hash tag see what they think about that. or how to handle monuments linked to slavery still very much causing an angry division in the us let's take a look at new mexico that was were former local politician has been arrested for shooting at protesters trying to topple a statue of

a 16th century spanish. custody after one of the demonstrators was injured later local authorities took. similar moves elsewhere of scene media commentators aware of how to balance history for the 21st century. we asked scientists for the best safest ways to bring it to the ground without anyone.

news updates rarely been in bigger demand than joining the world changing events of 2020 but when it comes to the public trust it's not good reading for the big hitters in the british media new in-depth research suggest audience confidence is still on the decline dropping over 20 percentage points since 2015 and largely

driven by the country's major political upheaval this year as reuters institute reports say there's been a significant drop in trust among left leaning voters down $31.00 percentage points there is slightly less pessimism. in the right of the spectrum but it's still dawn by $22.00 percentage points despite b.b.c. balsa stressing that the corporation sticks to be impartial the public service broadcasters credibility is taken quite a knock. even the most trusted brands like the b.b.c. are seen by many as pushing or suppressing agendas especially over polarizing issues like bricks it trust in the b.b.c. with the most partisan groups was formed by 20 percentage points since 2018 it's interesting isn't it that the cutoff point seems to be 2050 the left was reasonably satisfied with the meeting 2015 then of course we had. the cool thing coming it's

becoming the leader of the labor party and there's no doubt it's a way to egypt assess the media the trial of colvin was almost consistently hostile and very very critical without much balance so i think that's one of the reasons to explain why the left if you like of the trust of the media from the left has fallen and the right to typical right to feels probably aggrieved over back seat covers the coverage last year about the brics negotiations last that dispassionate reporting of news it regardless of the paper old media outlets stunts with with visas and i think that's that's the core issue here neil clark finishing off about to report. for this news hour we're about to cross to some more great programs though in moments and i'll be back with all the updates affecting your world today in about 30 by for.
