2:08 am
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 have one now meal plan 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 net the issues that brought up millions of people into the streets and the government needs to address institutional racism in the united states it has to
2:09 am
address the militarization of the police to demilitarize law enforcement officials and 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 cullen ery products caleb mop and artsy new york. in france nationwide rallies by health care workers so some ugly scenes on choose day tens of thousands turned tramon the government about its pledge to help medical stuff and support hospitals but then is that they progress the peaceful protest to conduct that.

one of worried about the health of my mother or other health care workers during these 2 month long time medical personnel have said that the suffocating but they're not being heard perhaps you should ask yourself how come a 51 year old woman a mother of 2 who has worked for 20 years in the public service for 20 years as a health care worker never complain network how did she come to this. quick mention to the 2 camera operators from r t france were also injured while filming some of the other rest when people go throwing stones at police both receive treatment for medical workers who were at that rally for example when it comes to policing offices in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods was another development in the week or monday the government backtracked on completely banning chokeholds of opposition from offices covering the charlotte dubin ski. but says interior minister promised 0 tolerance or racism among the forces
2:12 am
a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and police brutality unleashed following the death of george floyd in the us free stuff yes then they even doubled down during his speech i mean 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 to protest is haled 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 used the chokehold 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 unions demanding to walk so this is turned out to protest throwing their hand cuffs. on the bar what are

we 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 are 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 matters there will 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
2:14 am
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 in force even the police concern us. we must understand that when the police use force it's 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
2:15 am
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's a real problem of racism there's a document check principle based on appearance there is a certain cover up of the problems their 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 a 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 of the street this indicates a serious problem a significant function in our public that. there is a dramatic deterioration in korean relations on tuesday the north blowup the only negotiating outpost with the south selling their heavily strained relationship to
2:16 am
a dangerous new low. they've been weeks of dispute with the south which pyongyang blames for stalled peace talks of failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda north korea also later threatened to send troops into the demilitarized borders or wiping out a deal than to reduce tensions with the south agreed barely 2 years ago. the artillery units deployed will upgrade the level of the from guard duty to top class combat duty system throughout the front line and will resume 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. north korea's been complaining of recent weeks that propaganda leaflets have been flowing from the south claiming it's in violation of the reached agreements some defector groups have been sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government in the south
2:17 am
has taken police action against said groups saying their activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula on saturday then reports emerged that north korea was going to retaliate with his only flits korea specialist. believes the north sold some of they could be really though about getting attention from much further afield. i think it's just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda leaflets which they say that's why they did it but it's highly unlikely that that is the only reason because for them to risk alienating seoul and really getting back on the bad side of potentially 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 hail mary attempt to really get america's attention which is becoming
2:18 am
increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the us now so i think that's why they 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 nothing's really going on that's helping us really so we haven't really got much out of it something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. rather world lawyer from russia this is about international good morning more than week's headlines stories to cover china says it's now on top of a new outbreak of coronavirus reported by jake in the wake which still pops the capital look down again scary for
