operators from r t france were also injured were filming some of the unrest when people began throwing stones at the police both receive treatment from medical workers who were at the rally because when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods this all came around on monday then the government backtracked on completely banning chokeholds of the opposition from offices more that for sure the dubin ski. but says interior minister promised 0 tolerance on racism among the forces a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and police tell us he unleashed following the death of george floyd giving us free stuff yesterday 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
5:13 am
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 protesters hailed asked in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions describe 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 demand think to yourself this is turned out to protest through their handcuffs. on the butt of whatever also we're 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 but want to know how do we proceed with individuals who refused to be arrested were under the effect of narcotics alcohol
5:14 am
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 chokehold and the danger which he himself had recalled 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. stun guns or in limited but increasing use in france up almost 70 percent between 2017 and 2019 last year the
5:15 am
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 doesn't want to obey the law wondered certainly because banned from the police must be given a solution and we agree that a stun gun is not the solution. but told in 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 is there
5:16 am
a 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 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 street this indicates a serious problem and significant function in our public. there was a dramatic deterioration in korean relations on choose day the north blew up the only negotiation outpost with the south sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new low. while it was after weeks of dispute with the south which pyongyang blames for stalled peace talks and failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda north korea also later threatened to send troops into the demilitarized border zone
5:17 am
all but wiping out the deal to reduce tensions with the south agreed barely 2 years ago. the artillery units deployed will operate the level of the from guard duty to top class come by due to system through the front line and will resume all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary if the north actually takes such a move it will certainly pay the price for it. north korea's been complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets have been flowing from the south claiming it's in violation of the we just agreements so defective groups have been sending flyers by balut across they have any fortified border most of the are of the north the government of the south has taken police action against the groups and so there activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula but on saturday another development reports emerging that north korea was going to retaliate with his only flits korea specialist gabrielle but now believes the north's ultimate aim though could really be about getting attention from much
5:18 am
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 flyers that we're you know desperate distributed over to the border in north korea so i definitely believe that this is their kind of a last ale mary attempt to really get america's attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the u.s. now so i think that's why they're resorted to such a aggressive act now they are otherwise maybe wouldn't have done in their eyes they're probably thinking well we tried diplomacy we tried talking to try we tried sitting down with the south korean president we tried taking the diplomatic
5:19 am
peaceful road but well it's not really gotten us anything and we're still. being hurt by the sanctions our economy is in shambles. everyone is ignoring us internationally right now and nothing's really going on that's helping us really so we haven't really gotten much out of it but something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. to the weekend with the team very pleased to take the time to watch this coming up the more of the week's headlines stories china says it's now old top of a new outbreak of coronavirus in beijing that caused much of. the capital locked down again what's the state now we'll update you said this was back.

5:24 am
a lack of hospitals and medical staff. we heard earlier about the rush right now to symbolically atone for historical racism and the same protesters taking aim at statues brand logos and now even street names case in point in liverpool in northwest england where one road well known firms of the beatles except it also supposed links to an 18th century slave trade it may be are those companies misguided heading up a blind alley well we sent polly to find out. by am in. of a pool a famous port city and the city's famous being the last place on the results. so this is the penny lane which is immortalized in that beatles song with its. suburban skies these signs were defaced during
5:25 am
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 region mag 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
5:26 am
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 there to use the. change to the people still told slavery it's a call to little pills possible which will tilt the shit to get all the call 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 the many months i think it should be. a circle reason so i think it just says well it's up to just the people of liverpool barely to do the song it's musical overstock call it 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 pony is to do with the bridge which is right here and he
5:27 am
would be charged to pay me 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 belong to the pool anymore what you think about changing penny lane to be on the job however. when you're in the show you look up on should you should that be the popular show now 50 years ago but it was your friend that while you were at the show but it tells you it's about your mistress soldano not sure that was the way that was approach you from a snapshot of the stories of the last 7 days reporting from moscow kevin owen here thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
