time mr brooks was shot dead he did not pose an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer we appreciate and we come in the d.a.'s office for charging these officers appropriate. but that's just step one. step 2 is complete this isn't like a celebration or a victory lap of watching these officers get charged. nobody's happy nobody's celebrating because this never should have happened i just hope they can rethink how i need to follow me douses are charged right out of their hair. it is because i don't know what i want to know how to seem if you must help but after everything in a film this bad here is. what he went through. well donald trump has weighed in saying that he hopes the accused officer is treated justly should not resist that

6:06 am
all these dogs wish them to do awful and if you can do it tell us and then that's fine i think what has happened is a given that the incidents that they've been involved in here and across the country have now come to light. public everybody is noticing these acts of violence death police officers on bob dylan and yet they get away with it there's no accountability and. no one is punished and so. it's about time the number that we're getting rid of those individuals who really don't want to work and be say. to the public safety to our community. well let's turn attention to seattle where there is an occupation protest in a police free zones been going quite a while as well the murders and once that officers will only now enter in urgent life threatening cases black lives matter campaigners have been holding that

6:10 am
ago down here that people were there were riots the police were being violent there were rumors of white supremacists but more and more as the days go on as you'll get more comfortable setting up here i think the real message of what's happening becomes more and more obvious which is exactly what's behind me in this city we believe black lives matter no human being is a legal science is real and love is the way. to let's turn tension to france where a nurse has been released from police custody after a video of her violent arrest you're in 2 states nationwide health care workers protests sparked widespread anger she still expected to appear in court in september though being charged with rebellion. this is the moment in your steelers for. yourself by several vital history the police said she has been following projectiles of them free to say she's been left traumatized 'd by the way she was

6:13 am
protesters and police crackdown every time and now we have a few 2 year old woman even if she threw a stone this does not deserve being thrown to the ground system so i want to say yes it's sadly what happened was not the 1st time you see police threatening stopping people from trying to peacefully leave a demonstration on the pretense of wanting to isolate a few individuals to end up terrorizing everyone there and they say for a reader who is it makes you being overcome with anger at the end of the demonstration crackdown that her reaction was normal given what's been destroyed by so many people here as provocations by the police during that protest. live from moscow this is art see the pressures on the international level to get the united states the sort systemic racism and police brutality on the way calls for a un inquiry under urgent talks at the human rights council. if

6:18 am
democratic partner spragg this but the usa did not participate in the debate on racism u.s. representatives weren't there why the united states has withdrawn from the un human rights council in response to criticism of israel we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights and that trend of putting pressure on international bodies continues united states is now threatening sanctions against the international criminal court because it dared investigate the actions of u.s. troops in afghanistan but will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court and indeed i have a message to many close allies around the world your people could be next the united states likes to think of itself as the policeman of the world and just like the police at home the united states isn't too excited about being expected to
6:19 am
follow the same rules that it claims to go around the world in forcing caleb mopp an artsy new york. one of the worlds biggest to cut and see for miles is being accused of developing facial recognition tools to monitor stuff working from home during the locked on pricewaterhouse coopers partly will use the tech to keep tell them some options from desks and including how many meal on bathroom breaks to employees have been taking on that's got privacy groups warning over excess intrusion. as approximately a quarter of the world's population was working from home at the peak of the pandemic period constant monitoring has left many incredibly stressed senior is aware devalued on the preceded and dehumanised city firms have problems with work in employees doing they should take it up with their employees sensitively he's in
6:20 am
the appropriate h.r. processes rather than surveilling their employees on marks this simply screams we don't trust you if an employee believes they aren't trusted than a business will never get the best out of them well with the home office know it being very much in vogue paid w c is in talks with investment banks to provide the face recognition technology which it sais is designed to help firms made legal compliance obligations just as they would have to for staff working on company trading floors trading is highly regulated and the restrict requirements for traders in the workplace for example secured trading floors without access to personal mobile phones regulators have stated that remote working results in a change in risk and requires additional controls and mitigations. supplanting to discuss with this story let's do just that with a year year of course internet law expert on social media solicitor and also webber
6:21 am
anthony's a political commentator good to have you both kind of kick off with you safeguards are otherwise isn't this a serious violation of privacy when your employer can see essentially every step stuff make. and you can hear me the story of her says yes and i think we have to remember that you saw as being an employer's right to see how they please and in the working day because it was their office see and for those who understood as many is we only had the telephone and we didn't have our lives technology now but i think we're now in new ground because we've got a situation because the artists in the u.k. we've had up to 60 percent of the were occupation working from home rule and the
6:22 am
experience of us i suspect that's wrong sounds about 50 percent now. but it certainly was with a lot less the fool this crisis happens and there will be a number of firms do ruby one scene soon continuing that are no i think yes there are reasons suit home people who are working but i do think that we see a lot of discussion and are priced rules housekeeper who are proposing is perhaps going to leave it to thought employers do have rights. where in the territory is anthony has been saying because of coburn 1000 companies are closing down under and men's pressure is it not followed to boss there for how can employers be sure that workers are doing what they are paid to do at home and
6:23 am
in terms of financial trading not in fact breaking the law. let's be honest about this. their reality is that the working from home business has now become a core scouting exercise but particularly how old the. a company's now they're saving a great deal of money in paying rain they're emptying their offices are they saving on travel in all sorts of things right and somebody is going to have to pay for those savings so what they're saying to their employees is you are going to pay for those savings and how you're going to be paying for the savings you're going to be paying for savings by giving away some of your space so we're going to start all this space in your spare bedroom we're going to start on in despairing did special new rule in your in your cabin and we're going to tell you that we are doing this you know to not to save a course for ourselves but in order to to comply would we never regulations you
6:24 am
need to comply with you know what if this is their concern compliance with drink elations instead of reducing the office space why don't they grease the office space instead of having to buy 2. pair employee you know increase the obvious space give people more space in the office so they could be safer and 3 is another risk that this in fact could work out exactly be up to what employers are hoping because often people feel stressed depressed being tracked it could affect their productivity in the long run. well i think this is not true if you are. there are issues such as soon as i am not to you if you couldn't possibly see. their arguments. people back into the office. this is this will require more expenditure
6:25 am
and soon i think the main issue is rare are people involved in the design sharpens who insider trading i'm not a citizen are bruce employers sure employees shouldn't be working from home they should be working for your face i think that what's a caster who says he will working for murder where there are not. security issues he is. he still is should be sued the companies only charter are soon sure there are less intrusive worrisome check your know how people are working because the studies so far have shown. with most employees working from home the other 70 goes up other causes less time spent so. they get
6:26 am
moved families on so there who appreciates it all their employer what it what about what it what about the trust what i'm getting from the if if that the those financial institutions simply do not trust their employee it's right those employees handling money than doing my humanity have to end illegal money how are we meant to trust those people if they're on both leave do not trust them that's beyond me. well i don't mean that situation with all our employer is i think this. a lot of it in your history with your eyes as she. dresses and so. i think you're inclined employers who you trust. i guess a lot. really there's a big piece on this. very interesting because they don't trust their
6:27 am
employees and there's a dividing line on this history. and security who's created a sargent shriver who is of course you know about national security here of course we were talking about this about this potentially dishonest behavior by people who are in the financial industry now let's be let's be frank about this the reason why those banks and investment banks want to invade the employees bedroom space is because they do not trust them they think they're going to be doing criminal acts insider trading for example this is the very reason they're giving now you don't trust them that's fine why so we and also i would say why do you feel you cannot trust them what what sort of values if you giving those employees what are the values of your companies of your organization. you know is there any is there
6:28 am
any sort of are these people just working for money or are they actually working for something a little bit bigger than that. you know thing i think those those those those financial institutions need to perhaps change their business consultant and pick on someone who actually understands the real world and understand the real people did they are meant to me just address that point we have a 10 seconds left. unfunny go ahead your last 10 seconds to you i've got i think. anybody down with. our coastline suit who was asked to. put this package together to our members of the. financial services. oh all right do you know a number who are saying. we would not be happy with the message
6:29 am
that some companies don't. want to shoot people with can't trust their company. is a very valid. there's a massive concern. if those companies do a strong reason to should have such the employees were actually at the office i'm not. home because they don't just lose their work at home or all right the thoughts of anthony webber a political commentator there and also your colon internet law expert and social media solicitor i imagine this is a conversation we're going to be having quite a few times in the future thank you both very much you're welcome. just a development to tell you buy from germany where prosecutors have filed murder charges against a russian national team across the cough is accused of shooting a georgian citizen last year in berlin prosecutors say it was
6:30 am
a contract killing ordered by the russian government the german foreign minister has added that the country might not take further measures against the russian federation now this is a story we'll be following up very closely in the hours to come this is our to international next the case reports they close. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any object to shape out just to come out ahead and in the detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
