police what this report to raise it is that there was no stepping back words if there is no questioning of for news of brutality in france when you commit racist crimes as a police officer there is no accountability then you are protected from any a try you are not alone. what do you send as a message i can do it and get away with it we have come to a point dutt jo blocks the arabs in france are raised to avoid the police what needs to be done in france is for law enforcement to be redesigned and the doctrine of public order to be thought again and so we don't have a good news that positions itself as a closer look people. another major american consumer brands overhauling its packaging to avoid being called out as racially insensitive cream of wheat breakfast porridge and i was the 4th brand in a day to reassess the use of images of black people to sell goods kellam open looks

at the levels of sincerity however behind said changes. rebellion across america it's very clear u.s. society needs to do something to address its flaws when it comes to issues of racism something must be done so corporate and political elites and decided it's time to change corporate logos and advertising and jim i'm a pancake mix made by pepsi corp is going to be changed. we recognize and origins are based on a racial stereotype while work has been done over the years to update the brand where realize those changes are not enough and your mama was based on nancy green a beloved african-american storyteller was born in slavery but rose to become a talented entrepreneur in the post civil war years. the

call for angela my mother to be changed has been building on social media for a long time did you know the founder of chris wright a white man to get the name after attending the national show the black face did you also know he hired former slave nancy grace to be his barry allen jim hannah where she went around to the bank a sense of people stories of the good all staff and afterwards they had sent home about surviving her and that feeling of having their very own mammy back laughing matter people. even over this some say it's far from racist to have the image of a black person on a food product list of brands changing their logos is growing. amid all the protest and public outrage it seems that images symbols and monuments

have become the focus of so much public discussion. politicians are eager to make grand gestures for those who wish to we will now kneel for a moment of silence. just a time purpose to seize and to listen and heal now is the time for racial justice but will this solve the actual issue behind the protests the conditions facing african-americans symbolic gestures that the corporations and some government entities are involved it's not going to be enough to win social stability in the united states and its coming period he's a neck the issues that blow up the up millions of people into the streets and the government needs to address institutional racism in the united states it has to

address the militarization of the police to demilitarize. law enforcement officials the protests are not about images and symbols they're about economic injustice police chokeholds mass incarceration and much more addressing the issues that have spawned decades of racial unrest in the united states would require some very big dramatic shifts the very foundations of u.s. society might need to be altered so why is the media focused on cohen ery products martin artsy new york. packaging to stir choose to street names once you start digging the murky racist past in many communities seems to have left traces everywhere next case in point liverpool in northwest england one target now it's a street well known to fans of the beatles but which is unfortunately named after an 18th century slave trader saying whether the city is going to face the music or not is probably void. i am in liverpool a famous port city and the city's famous i mean the last place.

so this is the penny lane which is immortalized in that beatles song with its. suburban skies these signs were defaced during a recent black lives matter protest someone wrote racist over the top of it and scribbled out the penny and the reason big there's some confusion over where the name of this street even comes from some people think that it's linked to a slave trade called james penny who believed in operated out of liverpool but the international slavery museum here in liverpool says that the evidence linking james penny to penny lane is inconclusive and moreover some people point to the fact that some might show penny lane only the map some 20

or 30 years before james penny even made it into liverpool the liverpool city region mag has caused around our by saying that even if there is some connection between this street and the old slave trader james penny. then the street will be renamed i just wanted to ask if you think that penny lane should be renamed if it is found to be linked to slavery too should be renamed snow which will be rebranded let's change the name to tuesday to change the mood of the people still told slavery it's a call to little pills possible which will tilt the shifts a little bit called to global utilities being told i don't think they should change it because i would like to do it history isn't it i'm like it's not directly aimed at anyone in. that's the main ones i think it should be up to a historical reason so i think it just says well it's up to just the people of the

building to do the song it's music movies dot com but a particular song about the beatles they are just talking to a lady who lives here and she's a resident and she says that the reason it's called penny lane isn't to do with the slave that whose name is tony is to do with the bridge which is right here and he would be charged to pay me to cross it. that's why it's called penny lane apparently this is the bridge that some of the residents say is actually the reason penny lane is named penny lane do you think penny lane you don't think of slavery don't think it's whole because you think of the beatles they've come to new they appropriated it themselves and it's pretty lame belongs to the beatles now it isn't belongs in the pool anymore what you think about changing penny lane beyond the children away from. when you're really into shows. you should not be the popular show now 50 years ago but it was your friend that while you were at the shore now

again this is hitting a lot of headlines around the world today president putin's warned of the dangers of ignoring history's realities in a detailed article for american international affairs magazine ahead of next week's victory day parade here he points to western coverage and teachings increasingly failing to mention the vital role of the soviet union in the 2nd world war and what airbrushing the facts today sets the world up to repeat the same failures well let's get across this bit more detail this morning with our correspondent goes down off down there outside the kremlin i morning a lot to say that it's a pretty thorough essay and it's peak quite a bit of interest news wise as i mentioned doesn't it well indeed it was a very comprehensive dive into history and how the events of all the mistakes and things done right by global powers back during the time of the 2nd world war how that kind of ties to the events that are to the modern day history to the modern day events i should say but lot of important didn't start right off with delving into history he tore into into global into politics 1st he talked about his

personal experience about how his 2 year old brother died during the siege of leningrad saying petersburg how his father while not obliged to do military service how he volunteered to defend that city sort a lot of imprudent outlined how much he how much the history of the great patriotic war means for him personally he also praised all allies for their role in defeating the nazi germany and in the call of the german coalition back in 1945 but sort of balancing this thing out he talked about the criticism he wrote about the mistakes made by world all by all sides during that time for instance he talked how europe stood idly when. germany was invading austria how poland a player played a role in carving up czechoslovakia and he also the soviet leadership also deserved

it its fair share of criticism according to vladimir putin wrote about the crimes committed by the regime by the mass repressions all the murders and also about the normal aggression pact that had been struck between the soviet union and the nazi germany back in 1939 and how in 1989 the soviet union apologized for that pact calling it the personal ambition of stalin and there was the general message of this whole article that the rewriting of history is unacceptable that it should stand as is with all the mistakes and things done right. disagrees you can insulting the memory is mean meanness can be deliberate hypocritical and pretty much intentional as in the situation when declarations commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of the 2nd world war mentioned all participants in the anti hitler coalition except for the soviet union meanness can also be bloody as in the

situation when those who come out against mere nazis and bury successes are killed and burned once again meanness can have different manifestations but this is not make it any less disgusting well this. passage could be in direct reference to a tweet by a white house before. back in may when essentially mentioned it did mention all parties all allies and praised all allies for defeating nazi germany except for the soviet union it caused quite a stir quite an outrage especially here in russia the country that has inherited the legacy of the soviet union and which views the victory day as a very very personal and one of the major holy which is one of the major holidays here also vladimir putin in that article he floated an idea of a summit sort out. 5 nuclear powers that is the united states the u.k. france russia and china sitting at the same table and talking it over and kind of

going back to the roots and trying to sort out the differences between between themselves by by inheriting a by opening the experience of the world war 2 by sort of learning by the mistakes that was another point made by vladimir putin in that article that in general such international institutions that while they are imperfect but they are he to resolving differences on the global stage. the calls that have been made quite often in recent years to abolish the veto power to deny special opportunities to permanent members of the security council actually irresponsible after all if that happens the united nations would in essence become the league of nations a meeting for empty talk without any leverage on the world processes would end it is well known. well there you have it and there has been some reaction to vladimir putin's article for instance the united nations they have agreed with the criticism

that vladimir putin floated against the body in in his piece also c.n.n. somewhat ironically accused them of putin in its headline of rewriting history you know the article that calls against rewriting history and the reaction is a headline accusing said article of rewriting history i know it's complicated but you can see that for yourself it was so we expect more reaction to come to that because the article is available in english and in russian and it is sort of bound to be reprinted in other languages as well so i will be standing by here to bring you more on that egos down or keep us posted down there in central moscow thanks for now good day the next britain's hard court has rejected not but cation blog. even parents to disclose details of a secret agreement maybe between london and washington over the son's death harry

dunn was killed when his motorcycle collided with a car allegedly being driven on the wrong side of the road by the wife of u.s. intelligence officer and his parents are now taking legal action against the foreign secretary and local police claiming they acted unlawfully by allowing her to flee back to the united states. parents were given permission to bring a case against dominic. to. ensure police's investigation to its you know it was for the police to establish diplomatic immunity or not not the foreign office but they took it upon themselves to decide that she did allowed her to lee. well and charged with killing the 19 year old boy dangerous driving last december she then sought diplomatic immunity and fled back to the united states the british government tried to get her extradited to face trial but that was flat out refused by the u.s. secretary of state there were senior level closed door talks then and how his

parents wanted those talks out of the open accusing the foreign office of obstructing justice under pressure from the u.s. all that was rejected as was a request for a former british diplomat to give evidence on applying diplomatic immunity that dunn family spokesman points out the paradox that between the 2 countries stand on human rights and how they're treating her as parents. there are these 2 countries the united states and. the u.k. claim to be the world leaders in protecting human rights and between though they have this again one of the worst abuses of human rights on these parents in history there are millions of people around the world who are looking at this case and thinking how does this even how even if she had diplomatic immunity it's not the right thing to do but we're very clear that she did listen we just hope that terrorists are incredibly decent people we hope that both governments are going to step forward and do the right thing if they don't then we may have to come be
