country has or kids and schools except the united states kids are spreading the disease. all over the country in teachers really worried. follow their life from out international's world news h.q. in moscow this saturday the 18th of july money was kevin i want to take you through those headlines in more detail a lot more to the next 30 minutes and keep you company throughout so then 1st there's anger in the u.k. after a video emerged of a london police officer kneeling on a handcuffed black man's neck you're going to arrest the officers and i was suspended but the video has been shared widely online. before you. know. if you want your. phone call or not.
7:02 am
well according to learn there's metropolitan police the man in the video is suspected of being armed and having been involved in a fight as the officers struggled with the suspect on the ground a crowd of onlookers gathered in filmed what was going on the instances been referred to the police watchdog and the independent office for police conduct and it's reignited to the row of appropriate or what's not appropriate what is appropriate policing in britain now. 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 and is circulating in social media is extremely disturbing some of the techniques used cause me great concern they're not taught in police training or spoke to the former head of the british national counterterrorism security office he told me officers inevitably have to use physical force when confronted with potentially armed and violent suspect. do you
7:03 am
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 is there interesting word i think what you have to do is go back to this and that this is a man that was fighting it was arrested for a fray and also for having a large knife now one of the police officers bows to do they have to control someone and sometimes in a situation arrest situation where you do get in the wrong position it's a very that stabbings have risen hugely in london over the last few years and those stabbings are committed by young men and i'm quite often young 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 role you know that person 1st rather job is to make sure that everyone is safe we haven't seen the full video
7:04 am
what we've seen is a 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 a trait trying to stay safe for yourself and for. the person you're trying to upper hand 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 it 1st not a mistake is it but no it's not true for 5 minutes if you look at the footage i've seen it's for a matter of seconds and don't forget this officer now and unfortunate 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 setting the people watching

it's a crazy world and we're just creates an a rod for a. pair of new york's reported requests to the extra security to protect black lives matter slogan painted on to one of manhattan's wealthiest street the mirrors been vandalized twice this week 2 people been arrested but bill de blasio is getting pressure over his policy priorities which stretched forces tackling a surge in crime right now just heard that new york city man has won an 8 securing the black mind to murell 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 sergeants and 24 cops guarding the mural it's true sickening. giant yellow spelling monster appeared outside trump tower on 5th avenue just over a week ago as he himself helping out with the painting donald trump the responded
7:06 am
by calling it a symbol of hate and accuse the mayor of disrespecting his own police department the mayor's move came after the slogan was vandalized when a man threw a bucket of red paint over it and it was all cleaned up again restored and although the man may want more help right now looking after it just a few weeks ago with bearing in mind he greeted the police budget by $1000000000.00 even though offices are also struggling against rapidly rising crime we talked to dairy gibson he's running for governor of new york he told a cease spoken with police there who told him they believe the mayor has got the wrong priorities. about 4 to the 1st shift to babysit the director of a police officer. yeah this sort of some would rather see. the job to keep their signal to say that is what the mayor you still want to do to protect. our state but it's spinning us all in the street saying

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 believe me much least of all that it is likely to survive long to port $82.00 most of them. united states is shuttered its own daily record for new coronavirus cases for the 1st time looking more than $77000.00 in a single day figures had been declining last month but that's no change with a fresh acceleration and it's impacting on donald trump support too as colored mopin reports. 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
7:12 am
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
7:13 am
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 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 facility social distancing we still don't even have universal health care and we received 11
7:14 am
time stimulus check but a lot of people still yet to receive. this 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 rotavirus stimulus bills they're bailing out you know industries from airlines 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 has blocked the u.s. center for disease control and prevention from testifying to congress on schools reopening the top administration is pushing ahead with getting students back to classrooms by the autumn despite warnings 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 just signed should not stand in the way various
7:15 am
past the country and step 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 it is who are you. sure you are secure kids go through this like this with your kids go to the worst. you go serviette on friday even suggests that just 19 percent of americans want children back in school this autumn but president nonetheless has made it one of his top priorities he's threatening to withhold federal funding from schools that refused to cooperate and these also criticize the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention is guidelines on getting people's but to close calling them too tough and too expensive we've been discussing the balance than in trying to get it right between schooling on one side and safety on the
7:16 am
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 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 teachers maybe as they are dolls 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
7:17 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 united states the virus is iraq getting out of control and people are dying so obviously the president is front and true at a very just. like really. the words you are by 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 think right now the new york city is talking about
7:18 am
a kind of landing where they where you would have canceled a school for 2 days. 3 days what i am learning you know it is less than the fires under control of course speaking out so either or but. you know really exaggerate and. i think you need me. to international live from moscow thanks for taking the time of your weekend to watch we appreciate it this is coming up sensible spacing of the e.u. leaders 1st face to face summits instead 3 but he's also far apart on what best to do to structure the next 70 a blockbuster a budget that's been blown apart like this. world fall day traders that stock trading free

7:20 am
like it is actually trying to pass the new in in the heat of the summer and the risk of spreading code nonetheless thousands turned out in russia's far east and about a screeching for another unauthorized protest against the rest of the government there earlier this month his name so again he was elected in $28.00 he was arrested on july the 9th and on suspicion of organizing the killing and attempted murders of business rivals around 15 years ago denies all those charges and is currently in detention here in moscow locals in the region have been protesting his arrest now for more than a week they say that since they were the ones who were elected him then therefore any trial should be held locally here in moscow we'll keep you posted. your opinion. is holding its 1st physical summit since february the 27 nations are
7:21 am
hoping to approve a huge recovery plan and also strike a compromise on the block's massive 7 year budget so our europe correspondent peter all of a next then 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 times terminal online video conferences musk's social distancing and elbow bumps replacing the handshake of the order of the day just let everybody settle it here into the new 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 masculists handshakes yeah
7:22 am
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 negotiation some good spirits but i have to say the difference as still very big therefore i can see just yet whether we will come to an agreement this to have expected very very difficult negotiations for 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
7:23 am
includes the 7 year budget and a whipping of 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. netherlands meeting up the frugal for they say they'll only agree to these packages if they have the say on how countries spend that money given it not a chance see 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 with the european parliament president david sorely 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 and the council any sort of postponement could certainly provoke a new storm and put the whole of europe in
7:24 am
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. unemployment in this trailer is running over 22 year high but businesses government and workers can't agree about why it's not started to come down as the country's no reopening one theory then is that the doubling of welfare payments to the covert pandemic has meant lower paid workers a better off on benefits this motel owner has been explaining the dialogue moved to us. it's been pretty difficult lately because it's. at a point where we're following it very hard to get employees and the employees more like staying at home peterson getting paid not to a person that just washing dishes for 2 hours a week has gone up to $750.00 a week. automatically bill
