on black meals. but also young boys human rights watch published uncomfortable accounts including from a 10 year old who describes being publicly humiliated and charlotte dubinsky reports from pars. with french police already facing angry crowds over alleged racism and brutality this report hits home but not only does human rights watch detail officers racial profiling with discriminatory i.d. checks on black and arab men but more shockingly one young children to one boy who is identified only as jumo described his 1st experience being what's called a controlled. i've been stalked by police twice the 1st time i was 9 or 10 years old i thought it was not normal for police to body search 10 year old children another 12 year old called coffee describes in the report how he and his

dress color reduce the equal opportunities one should have still too often. officers are also being accused of using racial slurs as well as info. a safe and humiliating body searches. i could sense something he did not tell me straight away but humes event i mean he was speaking last i learned some time really to have it she was told by the police and was suspected to have been drugs. he ended up in socks and the president in front of everyone in the center of. the society where children are scared of the police were children are scared of the law because of the police reprise on the law if that is how the police of many might say it's no wonder that so many black and arab youths flee stop and searches just like. his story has reemerged in the wake of george floyd's death now he

fled a check back in 2016 and was pursued by offices he later died in custody in suspicious circumstances according to his family who have been calling for his death and also for justice. today is a rally to denounce the denial of justice rally to denounce police violence today as a rally to denounce social violence that is a rally to denounce violence we're not here to talk we're here to get legal action the government has given officers. that when checking i.d.'s they must cameras and display their tag numbers so that they can be identified the police insist that the work is difficult and it dangerous and have recently taken to the streets themselves to demand better safe working conditions in the mouton the

interior minister has called was 0 tolerance to racism and even tories chokehold arrest technique but that was revoked just days later following pressure from police unions. leaving a fearful section of french society feeling that the heading straight back to square one so that people stay off paris. well we have been in touch with french police chiefs about the findings where yet to hear anything human rights activists yes or lu out see believes many young are absent from her having to be raised in fear of the police this week or from human rights watch actually is with stating the obvious that they have been dozens of reports on the french police on racial profiling of young blacks and arabs it's everyone remember is the ombudsman and found out that if you are a black or an arab youngster you are 20 times more likely or being arrested by the

police what this report to raise it is there was no stepping back wards if there is no. use of brutality in france when you commit crimes as a police officer there is no accountability then you are protected from any a trial you are not alone. what do you stand as a message i can do it and get away with it we have come to a point dutt job blocks in france are raised to avoid the police what needs to be done in france is for law enforcement to be redesigned of the doctrine of public order to be thought again to have a good news that positions itself as a closer look before. another major american consumer brand is overhauling its packaging to avoid being called out as racially insensitive cream of wheat breakfast partridge is the 4th brand and 24 hours to reassess the use of

images of black people to sell its been looking at the levels of sincerity however the 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 have 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 more people have flipped over and through my mother's ban and many other and cakes in the world 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 mind 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 there was something about it

and to my mother the call for angela my mother to be changed has been building on social media for a long time did you know the founder chris wright a white man again the name after attending the michelle they black face did you also know we had former slave nancy grace that is very much a man where she went around to the bank a sense that the people stories of the good ole sat and the as they had sent home about 7 to her and the 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 leave one now neal for a moment of silence. just. purpose to seize and to listen to you 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 when social stability in the united states and its commentary these and that the issues that brought millions of people into the streets 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 every products kaleb mop and artsy new york. from packaging to statues to street names in liverpool and northwest and then one target now is a street well known to funds of the beatles but which is alleged to be linked to an think century slave trader but is the city in any mood to face the music bucko.

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 blue suburban skys 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 lived 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 money show penny lane owned the map some 20 or 30 years before james penny even made it into liverpool the liverpool city region magna has caused around our by saying that even if there is some connection between this street and the old slave trade or 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 we're told everybody 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 shift 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 one so i think it should be ok historical reasons so i think it just says well it's up to just the people of the film and to do the song it's music movies dot com and 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 slaves whose name is penny 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 you think of penny lane don't think of slavery don't think it's old you should think of the beatles made car 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 has to be on the joke now whether she. put it into

a show she looked up and she should not be the popular show now 50 years ago but it was a friend that by the way the show now should be told it's a but you're. still ahead it's close war for between teachers and the british government over whether it's safe for people said back to class after the locked and we'll hear about the get reaction after the shortest of. if the epidemic continues as a disease the economies will not work we will not have trade tourism. investments we will have continuing very deep economic crisis.

seemed wrong. but old quotes just don't call. me. yet to shake out these days because as a kid and in detroit because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you have. a law again love him or putin's warned of the dangers of ignoring history's realities in a detailed article for an american international offers magazine ahead of next

week's rescheduled victory day parade he points to western coverage on teachings increasingly feeling to mention the vital role of the soviet union in the 2nd world war while you're brushing the facts today sets the world up to repeat the same for years eager to tell of takes a look at some of the reaction. now in the article which by the way initially was published in english lima putin desex history looking at what events and decisions made the 2nd world war possible and what the world today can learn from those mistakes and the key narrative of that piece is that essentially there's a dangerous tendency nowadays to brush aside to overlook the massive role that the soviet union played in defeating the nazi germany the peace which balances between praise and criticism towards all nations that fought fascists and nazis including the soviet union which received its fair share of criticism from the russian

president as well vladimir putin essentially says that history should be preserved as it is with all of its 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. as in the situation when those who come out against neo nazis and their successors are killed and burned once again meanness can have different manifestations but this is not make it any less disgusting now this is quite an obvious reference to a tweet back from may when the official white house twitter account posted praises to everyone except the soviet union for defeating nazi germany that tweet was enough to cause huge outrage both online and especially here in russia where i'm

appalled and also floated in a dia of a summit of the 5 nuclear states that has russia the united states the u.k. france and china according to the russian president this could be a good and productive format for these countries and for the world in general to overcome whatever differences there are currently are between the countries and in general the russian president has emphasized that such international institutions like the united nations for instance while imperfect they are key for nations to be resolving their differences on the international arena 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 or 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 that would end it is well known the united nations commenting on the article said that they grieve

with the criticism from the russian leader and judging by the fact that again it was published in english and judging by its sheer length and by how thorough it is clearly getting his message across getting this message across is really important for vladimir putin. getting pupils back to school after the locked on in england is seeing governments earn teachers diggin union leaders an education committee m.p.'s faced each other in a hot tempered online session on wed and stay in a standoff over whether it's safe to restart classes. why is it every time i see a teacher you don't see the dancing schools on state open schools and it's open and pain has been wrong whether you want to or not. it's a parent's the idea that kids back to school has come across the parents the schools are destroyed vitally important children return to school as quickly as you are civil and sorry to do so. but where cells are going to tell them to they can i

then why would you support any school if schools need to take care of the issues in relation to the health and safety there were always going to do this is a new risk which presents itself in the context of schools winery opening so why is it that children parents can have access to try mark over the next few months where many of them won't have access to schools even have a quarrel with the risk assessments of being down in schools and i said golan issue should take it live on i've never been so frustrated in mind life sitting in this community listening to what's being said as for the any you running a political campaign which came through all m.p.'s in boxes to basic make sure schools did not i just think is absolutely disgraceful. let's get some background to this schools across the u.k. shuttin marched in the law to reduce the spread of crowbars while those in scotland
