is joins me now from brussels good evening to you georg the calls for racial justice in the u.s. they certainly or echoing where you are talk to me about what is happening now in belgium. exactly brooke brown the black live smetters. protests have really sparked some momentum here in belgium a country that has practically not dealt with its difficult colonial past and now with these protests on site it's quite incredible if if you travel the country and pay attention it is packed with colonial art in public spaces alone in brussels you have 18 monuments as celebrating that belgium brought civilization to add to africa and to the to the congo. and that is something that many people of congo these descent feel is just wrong it sends the wrong message and you have to deal with the past in order to find a good way in truth future a future without racism that is what on right see an artist story and told me his her story. finally i'm betsy feels a little less alone. for years the obvious story and has tried to challenge the way belgium deals with its colonial past now she's among thou

for us in brussels and the becket mass in london thank you both. now at a memorial service for george floyd in minneapolis there were impassioned calls for meaningful changes to u.s. policing and criminal justice the death of the black man in police custody has sparked protests nationwide that have at times turned violent but the latest marches have been more subdued as americans reflect on what has happened over the past 10 days. as you go through these long 8 let us think about or george was going to lay in there for those 8 minutes. 'd silent in grief as family and friends remembered george floyd and his last minutes alive. outside the memorial service in minneapolis hushed crowds also monch the 8 minutes 46 seconds that floyd was pinned to the ground under the name of a white police officer. civil rights activist the reverend al sharpton use that image in his unity to demand change. the reason we could never be who we wanted and dream debian is you kept your me on i have met. this tad for us to stand up in charges made and say good job nice fam

our correspondent terry scholz sent us this assessment of the protests from brussels the scene of one of the major anti-racism demonstrations in europe many thousands of people turned out here in brussels today people of all races all it's in this it is all colors all ages many people carried signs saying i can't breathe the dying words of george floyd in the united states there were children carrying signs saying i want to grow up in a world without racism activists hope that the broad support shown by the city of brussels and by the citizens of all communities may just be enough pressure to address the issues that they believe have to change that there is an issue of police brutality in belgium but the small protests that come for example after the killing of a 19 year old man in april in a police chase certainly have not shown the very broad turnout of this march here today it remains to be seen whether authorities will feel the pressure of this very large turnout whether they will sit down with activists and address the things they need they say need to be changed and how soon. so

the crews here follow every twist and turn of the brags that negotiations in brussels they fear their 4000000000 euro a year sector won't figure greatly in the giant model of diplomatic talks. compared to banks in the old all industry fishing the small change. fishing is obviously just a relatively small sector they call me but regionally for individual towns it's enormously important great britain on the other hand is an island nation that the sea is important for the fishing is symbolic the only point they can see or brags it is emotional but actually it is a loathing of the harbor the fresh cuts as being option prices are tumbling each lot goes to. the 1st to place a bid yet this very hole is where the local fishers place their remaining hopes because it's also where a huge amount of the place and heron caught in british waters is sold into the e.u. the potential joker in the breaks at poker. if the british want to let us fish in their waters then we have to put a stop to the fish trade with britain and they'll have to eat all the a fish themselves. if they. get a ford is working h

talk of the little bit more about the brussels approach to to countering many of these measures thatrbán has taken which have been themed as as as as leaning in this authoritarian direction. that is the big problem the european union somehow liks courage here what they're trying to do is to sort of slowly saw away the law after law against the the autocratic rule that orbán is a step. bought can you win this battle legally and many people in brussels say no you have to hit him which hurts it was the money to cut off his european funding and that is something that the member states in the e.u. have been talking about for some years now but so far has led the courage to do. hungary in fact one of the biggest beneficiaries of those cohesion funds that you're referencing their proper vessel joining us with a view from brussels thank you so much for your expertise. well to some sports news now the english premier league club chelsea have announced that the signing of team from rb leipzig will be for a fee of $53000000.00 euros that makes him the most expensive german player ever the strik

ok tara shoals for hoarding from brussels stay safe and thanks for reporting on. the start. to the u.s. now protests that protesters gathered in washington d.c. and many other u.s. cities to mobilize against racism and police brutality tens of thousands braved the hot humid day to call for reform in the u.s. capitol that protest and others around the world have arisen from outrage over the death of george floyd in minneapolis almost 2 weeks ago the coroner has ruled his death a homicide. the message is clear. in their thousands they converged on downtown washington d.c. . local officials had projected over 100000 people would attend. the heat and humidity were no deterrent. everyone does not race literally up to the but i don't love. their old outdated a fetish people understand. it's not enough to be angry you have to vote yes to translate that into action you need to be a consequence for that action and you need to be taught that it will happen nobody knows me they know. while demanding action against police brutality is at the forefront of saturday's peaceful demonstratio

for 15 years she's almost legendary for being able to cope with those late night negotiations in brussels very very well to secure those e.u. deals this is pretty much what the e.u. is about finding a compromise at the same time nobody including the chance of the longest serving elected leader in europe has done this ever under the impression of a pandemic where nobody knows whether it's actually on the way out or whether there might be a 2nd wave so clearly crisis management within the e.u. but also on the outside as we see those tectonic shifts in the global order and that brewing potential trade war between the u.s. and china and if there's one thing mark all of the presidency and actually all states want to avoid is becoming the hot battleground in that economic conflict ok before we get to the foreign policy dimensions you just lined out there for us i mean let's talk about what she needs to do inside the you she she's making the recovery fund from the pandemic for the pandemic and its effects are top priority could you flesh out a bit illustrate for us what does it look like right n

that brings us to brussels barbara here we are again that use chief negotiator michel barnier saying the clock is ticking the e.u. has shown a lot of patience so from the perspective in brussels what is standing in the way of that agreement right now. pretty much everything because nothing changed. since talks began in earnest in april because the 2 sides are sort of a drag in each in their trench and say it's your fault no it's your fault what do you want is to tie britain to certain rules in exchange for axes to the single market britain as we have heard says we want to be nimble we want to be able to do what we want and as a negotiator david frost always emphasizes we are sovereign not the answer from the 2 that's from the e.u. side of course is yes we are sovereign too but if you want something from us so you have to move a bit but nothing happened no one cause for that might be communication via the internet because can you hear me is not very good very good base for negotiations that can be very tricky in subtle if they get into detail so everybody waits for people being able t

is that talks about in brussels? this is something we've heard repeatedly in which the european union is pushing for more multilateral trade. wto, the institution, but the problem is the u.s. is retrenching and europe wants to get tough versus china. it has said repeatedly we should not be naive, we should look at china as an ally and strategic partner going forward, but it is clear they don't do business the way we like to and if we don't get the kind of access into the chinese market we would like to we for our own companies, have heard repeatedly the idea that they eu doesn't want to get caught up in a cold war between the u.s. and china, but they don't want to be an instrument by either side. maria, i wonder what you hear when you are talking to your contacts in brussels -- not to change the subject to much, but about the possibility of a lufthansa bailout being voted down. we will talk about this throughout the program and i think it will play a part in markets today. it is possible shareholders don't accept the
