now i'm not. alone the police officer is suspended after a video emerges of him kneeling on a handcuffed black man's neck stoking a nationwide debate on the use of show calls also a. focus in jerusalem as pressure mounts on the prime minister over the handling of the corona virus outbreak and his own corruption. despite the u.s. having the most coronavirus cases in 2 days of record breaking new infections this week alone trump pushes ahead with getting students back in class within weeks igniting a row than over schooling versus say. every other country has or kids and schools

except the united states kids are spreading the disease. i mean by. all over the country. here are really very. good morning life international's world news h.q. here in moscow this saturday the 18th of july kevin 0 in here with you to take you through those headlines just ahead in some more detail of 1st than. in the u.k. after video emerged of a london police officer kneeling on a handcuffed black man's neck during an arrest the officer is now suspended but the video has been shared widely online. right give me a group of only for you what you do there is no i mean if you. want you back you up there you know you're a bronco not. according to the under the metropolitan police the man in the video is suspected of being armed and having been involved in

a fight as the officer struggled with the suspect on the ground a crowd of onlookers gathered and then filmed what was going on the incident since been referred to the police watchdog and the independent office for police conduct and it's reignited the whole realm of appropriate policing in britain. i'm deeply concerned about today's incident and it is right that met police u.k. have referred the case of the independent police watchdog black london as still face discrimination and we must work with the community to build trust in the police the video footage that i have seen today in the circulating in social media is extremely disturbing some of the techniques used cause me great concern they're not taught in police training. there spoke to the former head of the british national counter-terrorism security officer told me officers inevitably have to use physical force when confronted with potentially armed and violent suspects. do you think that arrest technique used by the officers say especially in light of what's

happened over the last few months is in any way shape or form justified or justified is or interesting word i think what you have to do is go back to this and think this is a man that was fighting it was arrested for a fray and also for have been a large knife now what are the police officers supposed to do they have to control someone and sometimes in a violent situation in a restoration you do get in the wrong position it's a vice that stabbings have risen hugely in london over the last few years and those stabbings are committed by young men and and quite often young black men and and so when young men get arrested and particularly a man is arrested with a knife then of course the officers have got their own safety and the public safety at the 1st part of their you know the person 1st rather job is to make sure that everyone is safe we haven't seen the full video what we've seen is an excerpt from a video which shows an officer trying to detain

a man i think people are rushing to judgment here i mean the man was shouting for goodness sake so it clearly wasn't being strangled everyone's filming this these days of course they got mobile phones it's been it's just prevalent everywhere it's a tough job being a policeman i suppose i point to you because on one hand you've got to train trying to stay safe for yourself and for the person you're trying to apprehend on the other hand is it inevitable that mistakes may happen but can you call a mistake somebody's kneeling on someone's neck for 345 when a 1st not a mistake is it but no it's not true for 5 minutes if you look at the voltage so i've seen it for a matter of seconds and don't forget this officer now and i'm 40 the way life has gone on it's been surrounded by other people who are not helping the police officers but actually trying to hinder them so what do we want to police officers do we want them to stay safe themselves they we want them to arrest suspects violent people and also we want them to do so without upsetting the people watching it's. crazy well and we're just creates

a new road for and. the mayor of new york's reportedly requested extra security to protect the black lives matter slogan painted on to one of manhattan's wealthiest streets the murals been vandalized twice this week 2 people have been arrested but bill de blasio is getting pressure over his policing priorities with stretched forces tackling a surging crime right now. disappeared the new york city man has won an 8 securing the blank mind mural a trump tala that's one sergeant and 8 cops 3 to the date violence shooting some murders up in new york city and this clown has 3 sergeants and $24.00 cops guarding the mural if true sickening. yellow letter spelling out black lives matter appeared outside trump tower on 5th avenue just over a week ago made the plans he himself helped out with the painting donald trump the responded by calling it a symbol of hate he said and accused the mayor of disrespecting his own police department and as move came after the slogan was daubed before being cleaned up and

restored and although the mayor may want more help looking after it just a few weeks ago bear in mind he agreed to cut the police budget by a $1000000000.00 even though offices are also struggling against rapidly rising crime we talked to dairy gibson noosa running for governor of new york he says he spoke with police who told him the mayor's got the wrong priorities. does made up out for true up 1st shift to babysit the house of a police officer were not. yet this sort of somewhat reduced the polies. job to keep their signal to say that is what the mayor use morning it's a do to protect service i mean yes. but not doing it. in the street playing by play man on the street and also renaming streets but white metal its own out symbol for white america. might it were. have been better spent on novel by homeless population for say you if you want some spin in the fight. should have.

only to show. the show. is fearful for your wife's side in new york city because you have met a lot on. limiting from long term is proving to be short lived much of israel businesses are being closed again and gatherings restricted for a new coronavirus cases the public is getting increasingly frustrated too with protests against the government's under the pandemic and the prime minister of course is already up against it over corruption charges a middle east correspondent might some of those protesters. listen listen listen listen listen to. the lady outside listen.

they listen you listen listen listen listen listen also the way he says he'll live. outside of this is. very doesn't believe the terrorists is a. sense. that it makes his colors. out of jail. since we listen. to this is let's just read it. seems to take. that as a byzantine can cause so to. come it.

seemed a case of supply is the government to schools to close down the smallest shops and c.n.n. says pool's whole system close of the case it's also forbidden so people to gather in large numbers and have funny clothes and then. after we. leave the quarantine it's. all. although i think it's ok about. bars the clubs. and the

place. and a lot of the over people and here i think it's wrong for the gym this restaurant is one of thousands forced to keep diners away it shut its doors while the one next door is still functioning but only for takeaways the business taking away and delivers it's not the same value it says something about 15 percent we need the money. to do things to bring us the money as netanyahu is ratings plummet in the opposite direction to the infection late the embattled prime minister has pledged a $1.00 and $3.00 quarter $1000000000.00 aid package but many of those who've lost their livelihoods say they've yet to see some of this money a scandal make a dent every few taishan between jobless families cannot put food on the table government pledges especially when the government is barely keeping yourself together barely mean much least of all that it is likely to survive long term. r

t 2 mr lim. past the hour now next the united states is shattered its daily record for new coronavirus cases for the 1st time more than $77000.00 in a single day figures had been declining last month but that's not changing with a fresh exhilaration it's impacting donald trump support to warrant all from caleb maupin. if you listen to donald trump he says that america is a ok as the country gets back to life and continues opening up i want everyone to know when every citizen know that we're using the full power of the federal government to fight the china virus and to keep our people safe we got hit with this terrible plague from china and now we're getting close to fighting our way out of it we're on the way to a tremendous victory it's going to happen and it's going to happen big our country

will be greater good ever before thank you no administration in history has removed more red tape more quickly to rescue the economy and to protect the health of our people now at this point 39 us states are seeing a rise in cases furthermore according to the associated press 75 percent of the cases in the united states are in states that voted for donald trump during the 2016 elections now in arizona and texas we've seen refrigerated trucks that may soon be used as a temporary morgue for the rising deaths i am pleading with everybody in our neck of the woods help us do your part people's lives are at stake not just the people getting sick but doctors nurses working to the bone the mass personnel transporting people now the state of florida is the worst hit and that is a state that donald trump needs to win if he's going to be the taurus in the 2020 elections drops of prove all ratings seems to be declining as americans are upset

with how he is handling the code that 19 situation disappointed in the administration's response now 64 percent of americans actually said in a recent poll they distrust donald trump when it comes to his handling of the coronavirus situation and we've even heard one republican governor speaking up pretty loudly i had watched as the president downplayed the outbreak severity and as the white house failed to use you public warnings. drop a 50 state strategy or dispatch medical gear or lifesaving ventilators from the national stockpile to american hospitals there's been a big failure on a governmental level. social safety supports to deal with the economically speaking of course you know i think ultimately it's best to have lockdowns which facility social distancing we still don't even have universal health care and we received 11 time stimulus check that a lot of people have still yet to receive. this in the context of reopening it's in

a lot of the key cities and states that are experiencing surges in contrast we're seeing you know with the various one of our stimulus bills they're billing out you know industries from airlines or cruises i also often think you are loaded military budget that's almost a trillion dollars annually and it's just very unfortunate that it just seems again to be a complete misallocation of resources and support. the white house's block to us center for disease control and prevention from testifying to congress on schools reopening the trump administration's pushing ahead them with getting students back in the classrooms by the autumn despite warnings from teachers and rival democratic politicians but he says open he means open for kids being able to attend each and every day at their school i decided should not stand in the way very sparse the country nks step people are reporting to us about

the anxiety they have about their children the decision to lead it as to whether to send their children to school for me i think one of the core principles is your parents need to have the ability to opt for the type of learning that they think's importance over here just for you we're here to support your efforts to get our kids going through here just like this will to get our kids back to the question. you gov survey out on friday suggests that just 19 percent of americans want children back in school this autumn but president trump's made it one of his top priorities he's threatening to withhold federal funding from schools in fact that refuse to cooperate troops also criticize the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention is guidelines on getting pupils back to class calling them too tough and too expensive we've been discussing the balance that's needed here then between schooling and safety. well it's premature not to

follow science you know we've been told all along follow the silent science follow the science well the science is worldwide every other country has her kids and schools except the united states kids are spreading the disease they can safely go to school people are scared i mean the virus is skyrocketing like all over the country and i think the teachers here are really really worried that they're putting themselves. in tremendous risk. children know that the disease teachers may be as they are else and i was there is not this national plan it's actually a virus people lives here and rightfully so the united states is not founded on one size fits all big government telling everybody what to do he's setting those guidelines those standards if you will but he's not make them for making them federal mandates so words mean things when she says she wants a federal plan i guess she wants the federal to have a one size fits all mandate from the federal government and that's just not how we

do in the united states the virus is iraq coming out of control and people are dying so obviously the president is front and true that there. really. there were a lot of people are dying a virus here they do not know that this is the blue collar president he's put a premium on the blue collar the working class he wants all those poor kids like my special needs son to have a chance to not fall farther behind he wants parents to have their kids back in school so they don't have the burden of daycare or hiring tutors to take care of them and they can go to work again the idea that this disease shut down is silly i mean right now the new york city is talking about a kind of blending her where you would have the kids are today. i'm learning you

know if there's less patience in the fires under control or speaking out so either or but. you know really exaggerate and say i think you know me. well cost around the world proud to be coming from russia and thank you for watching us this morning let me stick around we're covering this the sensible spacing of the e.u. leaders 1st face to face summit since february but they're all so far apart to what to do with the next 70 a blockbuster budget because cove it's blown all part of means that this time it sounded more pressure than ever were across it. i know. no

shots. actually felt. no just. switch your thirst for action. it's politically impossible in the united states to advise eating listen to anything that has an industry behind it that makes a lot of money. as i'm going to say over and over again we know what is healthy diet it means not eating should much. for one thing and eating less is very very bad for business it doesn't make anybody rich if people eat less food.

i get exactly 20 minutes past the hour the european union is holding its 1st physical summit since february the 27 nations are hoping to approve a huge recovery plan and also strike a compromise on the block's massive 7 year budget our europe correspondent peter oliver has more than on the elbow bumps and the less than straightforward negotiations to. it's almost back to normal isn't it back in the room in brussels leaders of the meeting for faced meeting face to face for the 1st time since coronavirus put an end to that and they had to take part in these well the times internal online video conferences musk's social distancing and elbow bumps replacing the handshake of the order of the day just about everybody said it hearing to the new rules of social distancing and masks except for those

bad boys of social distancing the visit guard for the group made up of poland slovakia czech republic and hungary who twitter feeds have all been awash with photos of masculist handshakes yeah they don't play by anybody's rules there is some business to be taken care of though that's why they're in brussels for this meeting a budget for the next 7 years and a much needed coronavirus stimulus package have to be agreed on angela merkel is in charge pretty much of this meeting but the german chancellor didn't seem filled with confidence heading in to the summit in brussels for. our last meeting in february was not successful we are all entering this negotiations in good spirits but i have to say the difference as to a very big therefore i can see just yet whether we'll come to an agreement this time and expect a very very difficult negotiations charles michel the european council president

has cooked 26000000000 euro from the budget he 1st put forward back in may we're still looking it will be point 86 trillion that is being asked for but that includes the 7 year budget and hundreds of millions for korona recovery their opposition as you would imagine when it comes to numbers like this the frugal for they being called austria sweden denmark and. the netherlands meeting up the frugal 4 they say they'll only agree to these packages if they have the say on how countries spend that money they give it not a chance say those who will need the most of that money we're talking about france italy spain and greece here they say that would infringe upon their sovereignty the meeting started with the european parliament president david saw early warning that if an agreement isn't found there's going to be dire consequences for the whole

block or i mean to go at the moment the heads of government have a huge responsibility we cannot allow ourselves to feel to reach an agreement and the council any sort of postponement could certainly provoke new storms and put the whole of europe in a difficult situation the summit can continue over the weekend i have a feeling though and so do many watching this may continue for a while yet before they find an agreement. a u.s. surveillance drone program for the afghan army to the tune of almost $200000000.00 has been ineffective and fallen far short of expectations so says an american watchdogs report the u.s. department of defense lacks information necessary to track understand and improve the return on its 174000000 investment in the program and is poorly positioned to transfer responsibilities to the afghanistan national army well the program was launched 5 years ago to provide the afghan army with surveillance drones and trained personnel to make it more self-sufficient but the report points to several

shortcomings including a lack of oversight and concern that some of the equipment may go missing on top of that it says afghan soldiers aren't getting adequate training hampering their for their ability to use the information gathered by the drones the u.s. army though thinks afghan forces now only need minimal assistance. the program was launched in anticipation of american troops leaving the country the peace deal was struck in february between washington and the taliban setting a 14 month deadline for the u.s. military to leave and then last month the number of personnel stationed in afghanistan was reduced to less than 1000 former u.s. marine intelligence officer scott ritter told us the program has been a massive drain on american taxpayers. we know that the american military experience net ghana's stand has been claimed with oversight issues no matter what even if the afghan military was able to absorb technology in question the oversight of this has been initiation has led to corruption led to abuse and led to billions

of dollars in no waste and fraud most americans don't know what a scam the law is they don't know what a scan eagle does when we talk about the price of this program it is nothing in comparison to the hundreds of billions of dollars that we've wasted in afghanistan over the past 20 years and if it doesn't register on the domestic political radar it's not an issue the american military in afghanistan will claim that they will be able to overcome this problem that they will be able to correct the deficiencies and they were able to successfully integrate the scan eagle into afghan operation this is all wrong it's perhaps a lie knowing a lot but it doesn't matter because that the american people are not energized by this news it nothing's going to happen in terms of repercussions. and since the digests that the fast food burger king from the hague from farmers over a bizarre advert on the effects of cow flatulence on plummet change it's pressure

campaign then to get farms to change how they feed their hoods to say that use emissions.

it's not the cal fox nearly all in terry kmiec thing from catalyst from belching suggesting otherwise chances serious climate topic into a joke reducing me thing is a huge opportunity that should be a goal but we shouldn't trivialize it for trendy marketing. so what's the consensus on this we spoke to 2 farmers who say it's a noble effort but they think it's a little misguided. if there's an attempt a genuine attempt to reduce the maize they missions from cows this is a good thing big food brands need to demonstrate that they are addressing the environmental concerns principle amongst which is climate change but rather than simple blanket solutions like just switching away from livestock products and

eating meat to plant based diets we need to think more carefully and we need to be able to differentiate between the animals which are part of the solution and those which are part of the problem they need to do some work more work and have a conversation with the people who are leading the trail on the transition towards more 'd sustainable food systems see what more they can do their research is is a good idea you know the fact that they're trying to reduce nothing and everything is very admirable but not marketing that's jane basically in our in your head you're just made us look like a bunch of you know right next and hacks that are just trying including planet where the london press. the research right now is kind of our next story trying to be shepherding tons upon tons of london grass cattle because it seemed like power kind of contradictory to the idea of reducing our environmental footprint we think has to think of other ways the recycling there are much broader initiatives that

they could have focused on and that we can bring 1st time to this is so for the sunday morning i did that in july for moscow more doubt see the cold more of social media i'm kevin i would have a great weekend. the world fall. day traders now that stock trading is free and got all that free money from the government as a lot of people speculate. time

after time say we're going underground 75 years to the day joseph stalin winston churchill clement attlee and harry truman met in potsdam germany to establish a new post world war 2 world coming up in the show the longest war up to $945.00 could the stalling of in draft of a prisoner transpose threaten a resurgence of the us is longest war which followed u.s. u.k. support for islam is they are now fighting we ask the taliban if they're prioritising prisoners of the peace and if the 2020 u.s. presidential election could make a historic agreement a thing of the past in the wake of major nation media stories about russian bounties this fake news by dole trump and his nato nations gently causing socialism to recover from coronavirus we investigate the people's republic of big and other corporations arguably using the tools of socialism to benefit from covert 19.
