a london police officer is suspended after a video emerges of him kneeling on a handcuffed black man's neck stoking a bigger nationwide debate about the use of chokeholds also. protests in jerusalem as pressure mounts on the prime minister over his handling of the coronavirus break and his own corruption battle. too despite the us having the most coronavirus cases and 2 days of record breaking new infections this week alone donald trump still pushes ahead with getting students back in class within weeks igniting a row over schooling versus safety. every other country has or kids and schools

except the united states kids are spreading the disease. all over the country. really worried. international's world news h.q. here in moscow this saturday july the 18th it's kevin owen here to take you through those headlines just a lot more over the next 30 minutes so if you can stay with me too so 1st in the u.k. after a video emerged of a london police officer kneeling on the handcuffed a black man's neck during an arrest or about to show you the office is now suspended but the video has been shared widely online. before you. go. if you back you up and they know more about growing up you know

according to london's metropolitan police the man in the video is suspected of being armed and having been involved in a fight that as the officer struggled with the suspect on the ground a crowd of onlookers gathered and filmed what was going on the instant since been referred to the police watchdog of the independent office for police conduct and his rig knighted the wrath 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 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 spoke to the former head of the british national counter-terrorism security officer he told me that 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 specially in light of what's happened over the last few months is in any way shape or form justified or 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 he was arrested for a fray and also for having a large knife now one of the police officers supposed to do they have to control someone and sometimes in a fight situation and arrest situation 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 not 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 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 voters 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 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 creating a rod for. the mayor of new york's reported requested extra security to protect lives matters slogan painted on one of manhattan's wealthiest streets the mirror has been vandalized twice this week 2 people been arrested but bill de blasio is getting pressured have over his policing priorities was stretched forces tightening a surge in crime at the moment. just heard that new york city man has one in 8 securing the black mind smites a mural a trump tower that's one sergeant and 8 cops 3 tours a day violence shootings and murders up in new york city and this clown has 3 subjects and $24.00 cops guarding the mural it's true sickening. well john and yellow letters spelling out blood matter appeared outside trump tower on 5th avenue just bought a week ago mayor de blasio himself helped with the painting donald trump the

responded by calling it a symbol of hate and accusing the mayor of disrespecting his own police department the mayor's move came after the slogan was vandalized amount through a black and red paint over it then it was later cleaned up and restored again and of though the mayor may want more help looking after it just a few weeks ago he agreed to cut the police budget by a 1000000000 dollars even though offices are also struggling against rapidly rising crime we'll talk to deborah gibson he's running for governor of new york he told us he spoke with police who told him the man they think has got the wrong priorities. does made about 4 to a 1st shot of. the house of a police officer. yeah this sort of somewhat reduced so you. know to say that is what the mayor used want to protect service i mean yes. but doing it. in the street saying by the white man on the street and also the name of

systematic. it seems to take. as this is one tin can close association. with. something. seen daily cases lie is the government the school system because. the smallest shops need c.n.n. says pools a whole system close of the case it's also forbidden the people to gather in large numbers and have funny clothes and then. after we.

leave the quarantine it's too fast. of course and although i think it's ok about over the bars the clubs. and the place there are. a lot of overkill 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 deliveries 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 rate 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 tastes in between jobless families cannot put food on the table government plage is especially when the government is barely keeping itself together barely mean much least of all that it is likely to survive long term poor r.t. to most of them. the united states has shattered his own daily record for new coronavirus cases for the 1st time looking more than $77000.00 in a single day the figures have been declining last month but that's no change with a fresh exhilaration and is impacting donald trump support 2 more on it 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 in 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 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 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 is a silty social distancing we still don't even have universal health care and we

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 contrast 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 is not the u.s. center for disease control and prevention from testifying to congress on schools reopening the trumpet ministrations pushing ahead with getting students back to classrooms by autumn despite warnings about it from teachers 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 design should not stand in the way various past the

country nk steps people are reporting to us about the anxiety they have about their chilled 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 important so over here is the word you use for your efforts to get your kids to go through this like this with your kids but with the words. you gov survey found out friday suggests that just 19 percent of americans want children back in school this autumn says no popular president trump has made it one of his top priorities though in fact he's threatening to withhold federal funding from schools that refused to cooperate trump's also criticized 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

them between schooling on one side and trying to keep kids and people safe on the other. 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 the disease teachers maybe 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 president has said it's not true at a very. light really. have never thought of that like people are dying a virus yeah they did 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 turn of land where a where you would have to cancel a school for 2 days. i'm learning it is less safe in the arse hole for speaking out or. to be you know really exaggeration to say i think you know me. so you to me this post the folks choosing us this weekend we appreciate taking the time out now this is ahead the sensible spacing of the e.u. leaders 1st face to face summit says february but it seems we're all so far apart too on what best to do and how to flush out the next 7 year blockbuster budget because bone and all the pups on the huge pressure will tell you more woman.

we go to work. straight home. politically impossible in the united states. any. industry. makes a lot of money. going to say over and over again we know what it calls. for one. very very.

rich people eat less. again the european union is holding its 1st physical summit since february the 27 nations open to approve a huge recovery plan and also strike a compromise on the blocks massive 7 year budget our europe correspondent next them peter all of it has more on the elbow bumps and less than straightforward 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 have to take part in these well the 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 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 see the difference at a very big therefore i can see just yet whether we will come to an agreement this to have expected 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 are still looking it will point 86 trillion that is being asked for but that includes the 7 year budget and a whipping of hundreds of millions for corona 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 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 starts it 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. at the moment the heads of government have a huge responsibility we cannot allow ourselves to feel to reach an agreement in 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 to 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 full and 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 was surveillance drones and trained

personnel to make it more self-sufficient brother paul points to several shortcomings too 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 ability to use the information gathered by the drones the u.s. army though thinks afghan forces now only need minimal assistance and another program was launched in anticipation of american troops leaving the country a 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 $1000.00 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 claygate 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 but 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. burger kings failing to hate from farmers over preside on the effects of cow

flatulence on climate change what is a pressure campaign to get farms to change how they faint the hoods to say reduce emissions.

it's not the cal fox nearly all in terry me thing from cattle is from belching suggesting otherwise chances serious climates are taken to a joke reducing me thing is a huge opportunity that should be a goal but we shouldn't trivialize it for trendy marketing. where we start to farmers who say it is a noble effort so the other they also think it's a bit misguided as well. if there's an attempt at a genuine attempt to reduce the maize they missions from. this is a good thing big brothers need to demonstrate that they are addressing the environmental concerns principle amongst which is climate change but rather than simple blanket

solutions like just switch 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 other ones which are part of the solution and those. the problem they need to do so more work and have a conversation with the people who are leading the trail in 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 that pain and everything is very admirable but not marketing that's jane basically in our you know you're just made us look like a monster you know right next and hex that are destroying including the planet where the lemon grass come from the research right now is coming our next story trying to be shepherding tons upon tons of allotment grass speak out because it seems like our kind of contradictory to the idea of reducing our environmental footprint you think has to think about the ways there be recycling there are much

broader and the issues. that they could have focused on. could effort i suppose they say and they haven't said fanaticism they think of july the 70s or the concern for mortality they'll call more no social media reporter from moscow i'm kevin now in whatever you're doing review of a great weekend. the
