a london police officer is suspended after video emerges of him nailing on the neck of a black man he was arresting for said to come in after. hours. pressure mounts on the israeli prime minister over his pandemic performance amid ongoing corruption claims meanwhile the united states clocks up $77000.00 new cases coronavirus cases in just a single day shattering his previous record it does come as donald trump's rating seem to be plummeting in response to his handling of the pandemic.

hello good evening it's 8 o'clock here in moscow you're watching us international our police officer has been suspended in the u.k. after being filmed kneeling on the neck of a black man he was arresting. right given only a little bit from. there so if you. think you know what you're saying no no no but all of us to the court into the police the man is being detained the man being detained for suspected of having a knife is the officer struggled on the ground a crowd of people then gathered and film to the incident while what happened is being investigated it has reignited debate about appropriate use of force. 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 the circulating in social media is

extremely disturbing some of the techniques used cause me great concern they're not taught in police training or a former head of british counter terrorism does say that officers do frequently 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 he was arrested for a fright 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 fight 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 not quite often young black men and and so

when young black 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 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 to 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. now an attempt to topple a christopher columbus statue has led to clashes in chicago in the united states after riot police moved in to disperse the crowds thank you are there. some protests is reportedly 3 bottles and cans and let off fireworks injuries were reported among both protesters and police while several arrests were made meanwhile in the new york the mayor there has reportedly requested extra security to protect the black lives matter slogan painted along one

seemed a case of supply is the government to schools to close down the smallest shops and c.n.n. says pools a whole system close of the retail it's also forbidden the people to gather in large numbers and have funny clothes and then. no condom called after we. leave the quarantine it's too fast or from there of course although i think it's ok about burger bars the clubs. and the place there are. a lot of people and here i think it's room 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 4 takeaways the business taking away and deliveries it's not the same value it's just something about 15 percent we need the money. to do things to bring us the money as netanyahu has 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 may dent a reputation but when jobless families cannot put food on the table government pledges especially when their government is barely keeping yourself together barely mean much least of all that it is likely to survive long term poor r.t. to most of them. mean more united states is shattered its own daily record for new

coronavirus cases but after logging more than $77000.00 in a single day figures have been declining last month but that is now changing and is having a negative impact to on president trump ratings as 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 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 she 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 to. 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 received 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 wrote of our stimulus bills they're bailing out you know industries from airlines cruises i also often think to our 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 it was not international going to take a quick break now i want to. take. we go to work. straight home.

this politically impossible in the united states julie advise eating lists of the anything that has the industry even running did she know that makes a lot of money. as i'm going to say over and over again we know what it healthy diet is in these not being should much for one for one thing and eating less is very very bad for business it doesn't make anybody rich if people eat less. welcome back without saying now a democratic mayor in the u.s. city of providence has promised this week he would seek to right the wrongs of the past through reparations processed foods minority communities.

the mayor claims the process is in a storage move and it will see meetings held over historically contentious issues and a review of laws perceived to discriminate against black and indigenous communities but it's not it's not everybody's cup of tea this is what some of the opposition of said. while acknowledging that the liberal left agenda has failed black minority communities in contemporary times by forcing their children to attend frail schools and by enacting policies that make it easy to become dependent on the government it would be an unprecedented and immoral act of government to seek reparations here for the horrible wrongs that were committed generations ago reparations were also approved this week to a new us city of nashville where money will be invested into poor black communities the authorities in both cities claim that such initiatives are just the beginning of why the changes

a lot of folks are going to jump straight to the reparations question how much what form for how long who's eligible those are all legitimate questions but there are questions for another day and there are questions that will be answered through the process it's important to go step by step with this resolution is the 1st year in that it names that their list that is. weighted against the black community and it is very gay. ok let's discuss these issues further now because we're joined by rita everson author and political analyst and also anthony brian logan political and social issues commentator and you both very welcome as ever anthony if i can just start with you and these good 1st steps do you think when it comes to helping deprived black communities in society. not really all i heard from the mayor so much the lip service a bunch of promises maybe we're going to do something and if you just kind of the

same thing they always do during an election it's or any other time or some kind of civil unrest a way to give over going to do a study run to figure it out i mean how is he not figured out yet slavery ended 865 this is the year 2020 what are we really going to study what are we going to try to figure out is trying to calculate i mean you should know it by now they're not really going to win anything this is this period simple virtue signaling that is it and that is all races is how you see it. not at all but a below raises a very important point that point is that in the over 200 years since the end of slavery in the time since government sanctioned discrimination against people jim crow and war on drugs and things of that nature in that time never has the government ever taken one step towards understanding and calculating and studying

the effects and the impact of slavery on african-american people now it allows people like a.b.l. to come in and make statements of oh it's not necessary all there is no need for this why because there's never been a study to even indicate what the debt oh actually is what the trauma cause actually has created what generational impact exists the present day for the people who are the descendant of slaves and because that research has never taken place people like a.b.l. can make statements with vast ignorance because there's really no statistic to point to. do we know i mean but if you look back at the history how will that help you solve today's crisis when many people say look this is just a very bad economic situation i find myself in in a deprived inner city area how looking back at history help. well so here's what's important to realize that in addition to enslavement in

addition to the enforcement of segregation in addition to discriminatory practices the war on drugs police brutality all of these things have a collective economic impact on the black community and so because we've not ever study it that you just look at a people in a community in the so-called ghetto who don't own property who only own only 40 percent own property or there's a low unemployed there's high unemployment where there's low education or in inequality in the education that people have access to great access to based on property taxes you look. these things and you see them separate from the institution of systemic racism and there in lies the problem when you separate why the people are in the situation sion that they're in from how they got there then you get to blame the issue one black people and say it's an economic issue when that's not it people have been systemically systematically deprived i interest in the race this institution. is from politicians what sort of action would you like

to see. we don't need any action really and he was he was there as well and this is a resolution go ahead i'm going to get. your resumes. yeah there's no actually needed because what's going to happen here is are they going to do is say all right here's some promises here's some lofty goals and they never achieve it and they always do it is is there isn't a democratic candidate running for president and this election cycle reparation is how you feel about it come on there's joe biden everybody over are going to look we're going to do a study but then when it comes a day to be t.q. community see what it going to be going to do x. we're going to do we're going to do z. when it comes to expand it when it comes to amnesty and stuff like they were going to have amnesty be going to put it on the books in the 1st day ok they have concrete things are going to do for their communities that they lay out in black and white but then when it comes reparations or something like that oh we don't

know it's got to be a study and that being but lip service if you're going to give a sort of happy back during slavery or right after you reach that you can identify who the slave master wasn't a slave is now we're going to do it right now who's going to pay for our you can pay for a reason to your own tax money how about me out of my own tax money because the government only makes money from they don't really generate money if they do generate money it comes from our tax money that is the making and since nobody is allowed right now and that was a slave owner or a slave you could say people people benefit from it so when you been in print for me do for live in the country and so did i so. what if you get down to the nitty gritty of who's mixed race who own slaves and they have passed this kind of crazy race just. paying for all of this this is a very contentious issue because when it comes down to money it affects everybody doesn't it so who who will pay for this who would you like to see pay for this race . you know what i find very funny you know what i find funny no one cares about

where the money for reparations comes our might where money comes from to pay people until it comes to paying black people when they're needed to be a $1200.00 stimulus checks and out no one was saying oh well that comes from the taxpayer that's a refund. we should do that no it was all fine and dandy why because it was necessary to keep the american people in a stable situation because people need it to food to feed their family and that's 100 dollars equated into trillions of dollars of debt taken out by the american government and so why is it that they can find money to come up with to pay $12.00 trillions of dollars to come up with a payment for people who need food when they couldn't come up with the same amount of money to restore african americans in this country who they actually affirmatively took actions to harm that's ridiculous to me so i appreciate why who is baby who is right now be more then who is very this does need to be more than

lip service and right now lance asheville city is doing a resolution but here's the issue asheville needs to do more than a resolution they need to come up with an actual dollar figure how much they want black people were harmed by their actual city how much was stolen from them for labor and how much has been harmed to them from discriminatory practices and the war on drugs. just. to show the us gov said ok we'll open the printing presses will give as much money as you want how much money would be needed and what impact would it have. i mean who knows how much money they're going to need up because all bob johnson the former owner of the say something like $14.00 trillion dollars i mean where is that going to come from the value of money was bad enough we're talking about 6 trillion and the reason why that was given so rhys's point is because the government say that we can that work and we cannot go out here and make money ok. i mean who's to blame for a day people are there

a long day they're not commit better if you can't dig up from the grave who's to blame for a day and where is money going to come from is going to come from me so you make a me pay for sins of someone else that are long days ok it doesn't make any sense at all and do. the actual you know mechanism upon which the money will be delivered and who is not going to be defined nor will it ever be because all they've ever done for the past $100.00 or so years they say we promise to do this we promise to do with no promises ever delivered. just just finally because we're running out of time but if we just look at. communities that it deprived and depressed and often looking in the city areas this is an issue as i said at the top that politicians have been trying to solve for decades and haven't been able to just wondered why is this any different is this just another politician trying to come up with another

way of saying you know we're going to try and solve the this is the problem but we're actually going to phrase it slightly differently. i have i appreciate that so here's the thing this asheville city council created a resolution the resolution itself you know is well intentioned but it's problematic why because it's not based in actual studies and so they actually don't know the damage that needs to be corrected if someone stole a trillion dollars from the black community or even a $1000000000.00 from the black community you would need to calculate that and have them play restitution you can't provide reparations by definition until you know what you need to repair there needs to be an assessment of what has been done what black people have suffered specifically and so that's why it's not the solution it needs to be but we and we don't want organizations to keep or communities to start slapping reparations on top of every community redevelopment effort and calling it

reparations if it's not this is not a cash payout so it is actually not when i were in the last 15 seconds to. all right yeah i mean reparation is not going to happen if it was going to happen it should have been. identified as slave master and slave fair transaction and now it's only $28.00 of the me pain could be rescreened it makes no sense at all ok my thanks to you both i was every 7 or 3 put it on the snow to anthony brown like in political and social commentator thank you. thank you thank you for watching today just coming up to half past 8 here in moscow will have the headlines and more stories in just over half. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or i'm a bit of a shallow. problem

drugs don't always come from a. scrupulous dealers from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine he persisted with the pain business of trying to wean him off though she despite goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer is to blame patients doctors manufacturers and 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 y. 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 in the short term what athlete are told see you picture 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 is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal but what do we want our life to look like and then create a plan to get there and we can help kids do better but it's in their hands it's in their hands that's a lesson every kid should learn and then sort of step the responsibility i can make sure that i never will be poverty and my kids and i will live in poverty if i do the right thing.
