6:01 pm
where if you are in the wild thanks for tuning in to our international let's take a look at some of the big stories of the day. let's head straight to the u.k. where a police officer has been suspended after being filmed me laying on the back of a black man he was arresting. before. you've. got your. front loaded. according to police the man was being detained was suspected of having a knife as the officers struggled on the ground a crowd of people gathered and then filmed the incident while what happened is still being investigated at hounslow reignite a debate about appropriate use of force. i'm deeply concerned about today's
6:02 pm
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 well look at this from a different angle a for what head of british counterterrorism says officers 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 were justified is 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 fright and also for having a large knife now one of the police officers supposed to do they have to control someone and sometimes in
6:03 pm
a situation arrest situation you do get in the wrong position it's advice 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 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
6:04 pm
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 footage 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 and. not attempt to topple a christopher columbus statue has led to clashes in chicago after riot police moved in to disperse crowds.

6:11 pm
a refutation between jobless families cannot put food on the table government plage is especially when the government is barely keeping yourself to give a big lean mean much least of all that it is likely to survive long term. truce and i'm well let's stick with the court of ours for just a moment longer because the united states has in fact shot to its own daily record for a new cases that often locally more than 77000 in a single day figures have been declining last month but that dynamics now changing man it's having a negative impact on president trump's ratings kaleb open 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

6:13 pm
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 down played 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 to provide 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
6:14 pm
health care we received 11 time stimulus check that a lot of people have still yet to receive. this in the context of reopening ends in a lot of the key cities and states that are experiencing surges in contrast we're seeing you know with the various rotavirus stimulus bills totaling 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. meanwhile in the russian region of siberia an unusually mild winter and. have contributed to hundreds of wildfires breaking out.
6:15 pm
the fire has spread very far so we've had to try to catch up with it and we've heard to go to distant places.
6:16 pm
so. well with unemployment in australia braclet high as the government is handing out cash to how bob some odd joining the generosity is actually stopping people from looking for what one not an option this whole parade. the world is driven by shaped past and present those bits.
6:17 pm
thinks. we dare to ask. you. with yeah you like. welcome back president trump wants all students back in paul soft of the summer
6:18 pm
holidays despite covert affairs the white house has blocked the center for disease control and prevention from testifying to congress on the issue and it's meeting to teachers on rifle democratic politicians to sound the alarm. he says open he means opening for kids being able to attend each and every day at their school either science should not stand in the way various parts the country the nx that people are reporting to us about the anxiety they have about their children 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 together it is very good for you just like this for your kids to do the work. a new poll suggests just a 5th of americans want children back in class the sort of bought president trump
6:19 pm
has made it one of his top priorities he's threatening to withhold funding from schools that refuse to cooperate he's also criticized official guidelines of getting people's back into plus getting them to tough and expensive we put the issue up for debate. 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 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
6:20 pm
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 mandate 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 it in the united states the virus is iraq coming out of control and people are dying so obviously the president is front and just not true that they're just. like really god. and i thought 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 and not fall farther behind he wants parents to have their kids back in
6:21 pm
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 think right now the new york city is talking about a kind of land where they are where you would have the kids are today. you know if there's less of the fires under control of course. so or. you know really exaggerate and so it's i think you know me. unemployment in australia is running out to $22.00 here high but experts a baffled as to why it's not coming back down as the country reopens now there is one theory and that's that extra welfare payments are making people think they are better off at home we spoke to a motel owner who explained the di lover to us. a stroke it's been
6:22 pm
pretty difficult because it's. at a point where we were following it for a while to get employees and the employees more or less staying at home because the getting paid not to a person that just washing dishes for 2 hours a week has gone up to 750 dollars a week automatically it's been a few comments different ople sewing it's not worth their while working and speaking to the recruit relate to see this signing that they have people on the books that they don't want to work there is out of work during the crisis have been getting extra support payments but that is going to end in september in part because he does also suspect people are starting to rely on them 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 shift because
6:23 pm
they're on these higher levels of payment but those remarks by the prime minister haven't gone down well on social media where he's been accused of being selective with the facts. 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 work is a bad cut wages boss is a call this is not a sound basis for policy making him poor is flooded with job publications despite job seeker bonus the skill scott morrison and piece claims that people were too comfortable to look for work because of the job seeker in chris the b.m.a. using fake news for political gain. officially nearly a 1000000 australians out of work right now that's around 7 percent of the total work force but it's thought the statistics don't reveal the full picture especially among younger and lower paid workers businessman tom nixon again believes that needs to be
6:24 pm
a change for support to getting people back into the what place we rely on this. scale of work were it not be somebody coming and washing dishes or. waiting waiting on tables and you know that it's our time you know. it's. it's a low income kind of business the government's putting too 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 greens. i don't really go with we we need to work to grow the economy up so we can open the economy you know. there's not really. finally for this hour the main that cathedral in the french city of moment has been
6:25 pm
badly damaged after a huge fire broke out it took more than $100.00 firefighters to bring the blaze under control officials say thankfully the situation is not as bad as last year's blaze ought not to dawn and paris as the files contain much fall stuff meaning has a lot less damage however the cathedral's historic organ dating from the 17th century was completely destroyed an investigation is underway over suspected also off to 3 separate outbreaks of quiet well identified but the local prosecutor noted that when most signs of any break. that's how things are looking at the my went i'll be back in touch minutes with the latest sit tight bird because up next it's going underground.
6:26 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for him to let it be an arms race in his own spear in dramatic development only really . i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. we are segregated only by social class. people also in poverty 1st. if you're born into a 4. family if you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people don't have a stiff 20 years old if you're going to generational poverty. fight every day so you you eat your needs and the needs of your family.
