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 filmed what was going on the instance has been referred to the police watchdog and the independent office for police conduct it's reignited to the bigger 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 londoners still face discrimination and we must work with the community to build trust in the police video footage that i have seen today in this circulating in social media is extremely disturbing some of the techniques used cause me great concern they're not taught in police training. earlier i spoke to the former head of the british national counter-terrorism security office he told me officers inevitably have to use physical force when confronted with potentially armed and violent suspects. do
5:03 am
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 just avoid these are 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 freight and also for having a large knife now what are the police officers supposed to do they have to control someone and sometimes in a situation arrest situation you do get in the wrong position that stabbings have risen hugely in london over the last few years and those stabbings are committed by young men and not quite often young black men and and so when young men arrested and particularly a man is arrested with the knowledge 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 a an excerpt from a video which shows an officer trying to detain

a man i think people have rushing to judgment 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 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 i've seen it's for a matter of seconds and don't forget this officer now and i'm 40 the way your 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 have 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 a crazy world and we're just creates

a state that donald trump needs to win if he's going to be the taurus in the 2020 elections drops approval rating 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 shoe public warnings. drop a 50 state strategy or dispatch medical gear or lifesaving ventilators from the nation's 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 is a silty social distancing we still don't even have universal health care and we
5:14 am
were stooge 11 time stimulus check that a lot of people still yet to receive. and this is in the context of reopening in a lot of the key cities and states that are experiencing surges in contrasts we're seeing you know what the various one of our stimulus bills they're bailing out you know industries from airlines cruises i also often think you are our bloated 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 plan to us center for disease control and prevention from testifying to congress on schools reopening the trump administration's pushing ahead with getting students back to classroom by the autumn despite warnings from teaches and rival democratic politicians. when he says open he means opening for kids being able to attend each and every day at their school i just signed should not stand in the way various
5:15 am
past the country nks step people are reporting to us about the anxiety they have about their child the decision to whether 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 is who are you. sure you are to give your kids go through this like this for your kids. well you go survey out on friday suggested just 19 percent of americans want children back in school by this autumn but president tom's made his feelings clear says it's one of his top priorities he's threatening to withhold of federal funding from schools that refused to cooperate trump's also criticized the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention guidelines on getting pupils back to class he says the too tough and too expensive we were discussing the balance them
5:16 am
between schooling versus 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 sheeple 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 the disease the teachers maybe 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
5:17 am
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 it in the united states the virus is iraq coming out of control and people are dying so obviously the president is front and true at a very just. like really. that there were 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 shuts down is silly i mean right now the new york city is talking about a kind of landing where they are where you would have cancelled
5:18 am
a school for 2 days. i'm learning you know interest in the fires well of course you can have either or but. you know really exaggerate and so would say i think you know maybe. this is all it's international thanks for watching today by the way take the time i do we can this is ahead sensible spacing of the e.u. leaders 1st face to face summit since february but up seems a very far apart to a what to do or how to sort out the next 7 year blockbuster budget because covens blown it all apart on the huge pressure we're on it.

5:20 am
again 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 all of a next than as more on the elbow bumps and less than straight forward negotiations . 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 the swell times in terms of all 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
5:21 am
rules of social distancing and masks except for those 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 on 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 still very big therefore i can see just yet
5:22 am
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 point 86 trillion that is being asked for but that includes the 7 year budget and a well paying 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 making 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 given 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
5:23 am
if an agreement isn't found there's going to be dire consequences for the whole block which will mean to get he started to go it 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 post bone meant 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 to many watching this it may continue for a while yet before they find an agreement. and employment in australia is working at a 22 year high but businesses government and workers can't agree about why it's not starting to come down as the country reopens one theory is that the doubling of welfare payments through the covert pandemic has meant that lower paid workers a better off on benefits is motel owner has been explaining the dilemma to us. a stroke. pretty difficult because it's. at
5:24 am
a point where we are to get employees and the employees more like staying at home because to getting paid not to a person that just washing dishes for 2 hours a week has gone up to 700 $50.00 a week automatically bill a few comments different ople sewing it's not worth their while working. speaking to recruit millais to see this signing that they hope it will in the books but they don't want to work. while this temporary arrangement means a strain in job seekers get the equivalent of an extra $770.00 u.s. dollars per fortnight because of the health crisis but their post expires in september in part because leaders are also suspect people are starting to rely on it too much we're getting a lot of anecdotal feedback from small businesses even large businesses where some of them are finding it hard to get people to come and take the shifts because they're on these higher levels of payment. the prime minister's remarks 5 people
5:25 am
online accusing him of denigrating the very low paid and being selective too with the fact 100 percent of the anecdotal evidence has been from a liberal politician who owns pubs and a regular survey with the same group of cranks always say the same thing workers are bad cut wages bosses a call this is not a sound basis for policy making implores flooded with job publications despite job seeker bonus the skills scott morrison and peace claims that people were too comfortable to look for work because of the job seeker increase the b.m. using fake news for political gain. officially nearly a 1000000 australians are out of work right now this boat 7.4 percent of the workforce but it's thought the government statistics don't reveal the full picture especially among younger and lower paid workers businessman john nixon again says taxpayers' money should shift from support to getting people back to work. we rely on this. scale of work were it might be somebody coming and washing
5:26 am
dishes or. waiting on tables you know that it's our time you know. it's. it's a low income quite a bit since the government's going to much money. to the people who are. without work or supposed to be without work there has been no back up support where the government has given grants to small business but the grants. i don't really know when we we need people to work to grow business and open the economy up so we can't open economy are in there's no point really. and i'm normally warm winter and early dry spring have contributed to hundreds of wildfires across russia siberia temperatures have reached $38.00 degrees celsius in some areas that's the highest on record and for the 1st time the flames have spread
5:27 am
into the arctic circle. the fire has spread very far so we've had to try to catch up with it and we've had to go to distant places.

5:30 am
doctors manufacturers or the government. i think one of the worst things as a kid is what do you want to do it's not what you want to do it's why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your why being aware of work as a way of expression people ask me what motivates me every day and i look i'm just being me i started my company because it was an expression of myself i am just painting on a canvas but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream of what they see themselves becoming having that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term what athletes are told to pixar making the shots before they take the shot and i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us we have to picture what our goal is.
