4:09 am
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 every products kaleb not an artsy new york. in france nationwide rallies by health care workers saw some ugly scenes on choose day tens of thousands turned out for among the government about its pledge to help medical stuff and support hospitals but as the day progressed the peaceful protests took a dog.

i heard much about everyone applauded medical staff at 8 pm for months but no one of worried about the health of my mother or other health care workers do in these 2 months for a 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 says health care workers never complain network how did she come to this. to camera operators from r t france who were also injured while filming some of that arrest when people began throwing stones at police both receive treatment from medical workers who were at the rally people when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods this story developed on monday on monday the government backtracked on completely banning chokeholds of opposition from offices covering it then charlotte who belsky in the week. but says interior minister
4:12 am
promised 0 tolerance racism among the force is 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 cast in there even. during his speech let me let you 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 hailed asked 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 choke hold which we call the takedown technique don't do it for the fun of it they do it because
4:13 am
they're dealing with a very individual who doesn't want to be taken down as unions demanding to work so this is turned out to protest throwing their hand cuffs. on the butt of 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're racist. how do we proceed with individuals who refuse to be arrested we're under the fact of narcotics alcohol if they take away our working methods 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 chalk cauldron the danger of which he himself had recalled
4:14 am
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 start of something that stung so in a limited but increasing use in france up almost 70 percent between 2017 and 20 going to last year the use of stun guns proved fatal ones while others suffered severe injuries while stun guns or increasingly becoming the weapon of choice of course europe enforced even the police concern use. we must understand that when the police use force it's because there is someone who
4:15 am
doesn't want to obey the law when but certainly it 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 called in a row over whether or not the force is all racist to brutal or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control brands 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's a certain cover up of the problems there denial is institutional in nature and it is necessary to act quickly 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. there was a dramatic deterioration in korean relations on tuesday the north blowup the only
4:16 am
negotiation outpost of the so so they were heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new low. there's been weeks of dispute with the south which pyongyang blames for stalled peace talks and failing to stop the fact is distributing cross border propaganda north korea also the latest threat to send troops into the to militarized border zone all but wiping out a deal to reduce tensions with the south agreed barely 2 years ago. they artillery units deployed will operate the level of the front guard duty to top class combat duty system through the front line and will resume all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary in the north actually take such a move it will certainly pay the price for it. north korea's been complaining of recent weeks of propaganda leaflets have been flowing from the south clothing us in violation of the reached agreements some defect to groups of being sending flaw is by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government of the south has
4:17 am
taken police action against the group say their activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula then on saturday reports emerging that north korea was going to retaliate with its overly flips korea specialist cover 11 out told us the north ultimate aim though could really be about getting attention from much further afield. i 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 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 he'll marry attempt to really get america's attention which is becoming
4:18 am
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 something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. lawyer that we come from moscow this is also international i'm kevin owen hi this. coming up than china says it's now on top of a new outbreak of corona virus in beijing caused a lot of alarm in the wake which sold parts of the capital locks down again didn't work we'll find out what.

seeing hundreds call for the regional government to resign over its handling of the coronavirus crisis there long but he was the epicenter of it in these outbreak with 92000 cases and tragically 6000 deaths it was a picture where tess is accusing authorities of dismantling the public health system resulting in a lack of hospitals and medical staff. we heard earlier how the rush right now to symbolically atone for historical racism is seen protesters taking aim at statues brand logos and the even street names in liverpool in northwest england one target is a road well known to fans of the beatles except it also has supposed links to an 18th century slave trade but the question is are misguided campaign is heading up a blind alley he said polly boy to find out. i am in liverpool a famous port city and the city's famous i mean the last one.
4:24 am
so this is the penny lane which is immortal lies 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 being 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 money show penny lane owned the map some 20 or 30 years before james penny even made it into liverpool the liverpool city
4:25 am
region met 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 no it's always a republic and celebrations never change the name they're just trying to change the narrative of the people still child slavery that's a possible of appeals possible that's what's built the system get all the cards taken out all by it's history is being told i don't think they should change it because i heard it like to do if history is to emulate it's not directly aimed at anyone in the main ones i think it should be up for historical reasons so i think it should set well it's up to just the people of the field and to do the song it's music movies dot com a particular song about the beatles they are just talking to
4:26 am
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 a penny to cross in. grant'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 you don't think of slavery don't think it's old if you 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 to be on the job however. when you're in the shows up on should or should not be the popular show now 50 years ago but it was funded by the way the show and i should be told it it's but you. and that's the
