president george herbert walker bush said the following. those terrible scenes stir us all to demand an end to gratuitous violence and brutality. law enforcement officials cannot place themselves above the law. that they are sworn to defend. it was sickening to see the beating that was rendered and there is no way, no way in my view, to explain that away. that was george herbert walker bush after the rodney king beating. president obama said after the murder of eric garner, right now, unfortunately, we are seeing too many instances where people just do not have confidence that folks are being treated fairly. in some cases, there may be misperceptions, but in some cases, that's the reality. and it is incumbent upon all of us as americans regardless of race, religion, region, faith, that we recognize this is an american problem and not just a black problem or brown problem or native american problem, but this is an american problem. when anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that is a problem. i do want to quote

walker's caliber or lack thereof that at least one senate republican has announced opposition to his nomination. after mr. walker, again, before we begin to move to policing reform, leader mcconnell will put forward the nomination of mr. walker to the fifth circuit court of appeals, even by the very low standards of trump's nominees to the federal bunch, mr. wilson is appalling. he called our nation's healthcare law illegitimate and perverse and advocated the repeal of roe v. wade. he strongly supported voting measures including voter id laws and is opposed in this day and age towards minority voting rights. there will be a massive split screen in the senate next week, as we prepare to debate legislation to reduce racial bias and discrimination in law enforcement, senate republicans will push a judge who has a history of fighting against minority voting rights. the hypocrisy is glaring. it's amazing to me the temerity sometimes that the majority leader shows in talking about trying to bring racial justice and putting someone on the bench who has fought against racial justice in terms

they have chief international editor richard walker was following the video summit from brussels and he sent this report by all accounts there was very little progress made it was really just a bit of an exchange of views and exchange of perspectives and those perspectives in many areas remain very very far apart but i think it's really because there's a there is a broad recognition of the political pressure to come up with a solution here to come up with an agreement we've had a leader after leader from also love found alive through angela merkel many times in recent days but also in recent weeks saying that this is the most serious economic crisis that europe has faced in its history the history of the european union so for europe to be saying that sort of thing but then not to be able to find a common solution a common way forward would be a huge embarrassment it would open the doors potentially to further growth and populism on the continent there are huge stakes specifically for germany because germany within the next couple of weeks takes over the rotating presidency of the eur

and you know you chief international editor richard walker joins us now from brussels with more on the e.u. coronavirus fund raiser richard before we get to the money what's the political significance of this event. you know well of course i mean the money in itself does have significance in fact the total just over 6000000000 euros has been raised with 5000000000 coming from the european commission and sums of money coming from other donors to germany pledging just under 400000000 or so and you know going to a variety of different aspects of this attempt to coordinate internationally in the fight against the pandemic but if you do step back and look at this from a political point of view i think it's really another instance essentially of the europeans trying to step in and fill what emerges is this void that the united states might have filled in other times i mean looking back at previous health emergencies for instance you know the last really large bowl of pandemic a few years ago the united states really a leading role in leading the international coordination there together with

chief international editor richard walker is in brussels here's his take on whether european leaders are any closer to getting what they want from china the presidents of both european council and the european commission to part in a press conference after those talks and they were pretty clear that the 2 sides remain very very far apart on a large number of issues and it's really is exposing the tough time that europe is having in really trying to calibrate a coherent stance towards china as china gets more and more powerful more and more assertive on the world stage now the thing is that europe wants better relations with china particularly on the area of trade and it really wants to find progress on this investment deal that they were talking about today but that investment deal has been years in the making already the negotiations on that go back fully 7 years and the 2 sides had said that this would be the year where they make a breakthrough but the implication from the 2 presence today was that they remain very. far apart that china still needs to make a lot of concessions and

that gentleman was someplace else, obviously, she was there with kenneth walker. when you hear the story -- when the police told the story, kind of get this story that we went into the drug suspects fired one of the suspects at officers. hitting an officer. a female suspect was caught in the crossfire, basically, was killed. so this will female suspect, male suspect. well, he was never a suspect. and she was never suspected of selling any drugs or anything like that. so one of the things we're really hoping that the fbi takes a very hard look at is the content of the affidavit. the affidavit that the police officer used in order to get the search warrant. because there are things stated in the affidavit, things like we observed this otother person leaving breonna taylor's home wiwith a package and we obseseed breonna taylor's car at this other location. so the questions that we have our, well, when was that? who was driving the car? when did you see? ? him leaving with the package how long ago? how many times? there are also some allegations , sworne affidavit tes

is our chief international editor richard walker who joins us from brussels welcome richard a sort of on the line there sounding very optimistic is the consensus really that solid. well i think there is confidence that an agreement will eventually be reached but not really because of anything that came out of this video conference that has just taken place by all accounts there was very little progress made there it was really just a bit of an exchange of views and exchange of perspectives and those perspectives in many areas remain very very far apart but i think it's really because there's a there is a broad recognition of the political pressure to come up with a solution here to come up with an agreement we've had a leader after leader from also love underline who we saw in the clip there through angela merkel many times in recent days but also in recent weeks saying that this is the most serious economic crisis that europe has faced in its history the history of the european union so for europe to be saying that sort of thing but then not to be able to find a common solution a com

need to be build that's clear but it was a very constructive discussion and let's bring in richard walker who has been following this story for us from brussels so she said a bear very constructive can discussion therefore how high is the hope for consensus yeah well i think most sides are reasonably confident that some agreement will eventually be found but that's not necessarily because any real progress was made today but more because the stakes are just so incredibly high the pressure to come up with agreement on this is intense and you know i'm going to mark over the last few days the last few weeks has been speaking to that herself talking about this is being the biggest economic challenge that the european union has ever faced so having raised the stakes that level if the leaders are unable to come up with some kind of agreement some kind of answer to this then it really would be a huge embarrassment not least for germany itself because in just about 10 days time it takes over the rotating presidency of the european council so this is going to be absolutely top of uncle americans t

well joining me now from brussels is our chief international editor richard walker richard they've been talking for a long time and there's still lots of tensions and there are. yes i mean the tensions are really quite extreme at the moment between china and the west as a whole really going back several months of course you know the context for that you know many things relating to the covert outbreak which of course began in china there are lots of questions about whether china could have been more transparent in the early days of the outbreak whether that contributed to just how far and how fast the pandemic spreads also there are concerns just voice very recently by the european union outright accusing china of mounting dissin from asian campaigns within europe around the covert outbreak and then on top of that we just saw in the report human rights in jang in the province in western china more than a 1000000 people in so-called reeducation camps their rights being severely curtailed something the doctor well as reported on a lot and of course hong kong with this new national securit

justin walker and cory wilson. mr. walker is a man of limited judicial experience who has made it very clear he personally opposes our health care law. he called the roberts decision to uphold the affordable care act indefensible catastrophic. mr. wilson by the same token, is calling our healthcare law illegitimate and perverse. that's right folks, if you need healthcare and are suffering because of the covid, our republican friends are nominating judges who think it is perverse. in the middle of a public health crisis. the republican majority is planning to confirm right-wing judges who oppose our healthcare law. adding insult to injury, mr. wilson has been one of the leaders in opposing and undoing voting rights here at a time when people are protesting for racial equality, the republican majority has the temerity to put on the floor of the senate someone who spent his career trying to limit the rights that people often times minorities to votes. wilson has supported restrictive voter id laws, expressed strong opposi
