Lets go straight to john hendren his. Show. That we can. Can you describe. Where you are. Yeah right now there are hundreds of people who have been lining up since noon today and right now its just about 4 oclock so for 4 hours they have been lining up and theyve got 2 more to go all of them passing by the casket of mr floyd and people in line and generally what we heard were that the people who have come by and large were not people who knew him personally but who have come to pay their respects who believe that this is an important moment in history and that he really represents an important person in this movement but i can do better than just telling you my own view i can invite in i guess this is Darrell Kelly who is a musical artist from atlanta yes my name is. From atlanta and let me ask you. What brings you here while i write music and justice in america and i wrote a song for george florey called Police Brutality i think its important to come together to stop brutality. And racism in our country but around the world i could in our days write about george if i can come out to support. It lana has its own history of racial tension. I think for our viewers who are largely around the world and not all here in the u. S. Just describe what its like to be an africanamerican man in an urban area when confronting police well actually im originally from boston and i can say that no matter where you come from it can be from the north for the west have experience with how we all my life. Growing up with a disability and its just hard to be an africanamerican and you get pulled over for no reason you dont even know if youre going to be you know arrested for no reason shop for no reason so i always try to be very respectable and what i dont do is give them a problem they write me and i take you know i go about my business ive learned in the past if you give them a hard time then you have a harder time for no reason ive heard ive heard other men say you know they look at george floyd and they think on a bad day that that might have been me did you ever feel like that every single day because george floyd was a mob. I met a mob was a joyful so at the end of the day its racism happens every single day and they say black lives matter i truly believe that but i see dr sophy now the only way were going to stop Police Brutality and racism in our country is that we come together as one doesnt matter if youre black or white spanish it doesnt matter we need to unify our country and we need to stick together and change what should happen and join floyd or my nieces and nephews my children other peoples children and we have to keep a movement called a positive future of america with to morrows funeral thats really the end of the journey for george floyd but its a continuation of a of a movement what needs to happen but what we need to do is come together in the member and we need to go ahead and hope for a candidate who is going to support americas values and we need that person to come together and to make us the country that we all are because of all the rhetoric thats happening right now thats not going to unify our country its not going to stop racism or Police Brutality and we need to come together in november. And we need to pick someone whos going to do the job. We want to thank you for joining us with a little perspective from one of the people who came here from substantially far away in order to pay their respects to george floyd and there are hundreds and hundreds more and of course this continues in a day when the funeral takes place. Thank you very much. Natasha tell us about. 44 year old former minneapolis Police Officer derek show even has been in a state correctional facility outside the minneapolis city of minneapolis for his own safety he appeared remotely for his 1st Court Appearance a preliminary hearing its usually rather quick and straight forward he answered perfunctory yes no answers when spoken to by the judge and it appears that the prosecution got everything that it requested the judge has set bail without conditions for 1. 2 5000000. 00 in the event that show even can come up with a 1000000. 00 bail he has to abide by the following conditions he cannot have any contact with George Floyds family he cannot leave the state of minnesota without permission he has to surrender his guns and permit and he cannot work for Law Enforcement or could conduct any kind of security hes been charged with 2nd degree murder when the Minnesota Attorney general took over the case last week upgraded the charges in the state 2nd degree murder conviction means that a prosecutor will have to prove that chauvin intentionally. Killed george lloyd or did so while committing another felony and its believed that the prosecution will take the latter strategy in its prosecution of show vin but the attorney general here warned that this will be a difficult case will be a lengthy investigation and it wont be easy to get a conviction he has been asking the public to be patient but of course among protesters there is a real sense of urgency they want to make sure that there is not another unarmed black man killed in minneapolis while in Minneapolis Police department custody and in the meantime those City Council Members have been pledging to disband the police tell us more about how that might work. Well how it might work remains to be seen the City Council Members are simply saying that they want to create a new Public Safety system in conjunction with the community now on sunday 9 City Council Members attended a rally and pledged that they would be and the Minneapolis Police department they say that the Minneapolis Police department is beyond reform especially considering the fact that despite texas techniques and deescalation training and the use of body cameras that the complaints by the public against the Minneapolis Police department only continue to rise these 9 City Council Members say that they have a majority and a veto proof majority at that however they may be setting the stage for a standoff with the minneapolis mayor jacob frye he has said that he supports reform that gets to the heart of any type of systemic racism within the Minneapolis Police department but he does not support abolishing the Police Departments and to show name thank you very much indeed despite widespread calls to take away the funding or disband Police Forces across the u. S. President dont trump says it wont happen and im very proud of them. There will be defining there will be dismantling of our police and theyre not going to be any disbanding of our police our police have been letting us live in peace so we want to make sure we dont have any bad actors in there and sometimes youll see some horrible things like we would destroy recently but 99 i say 99. 9 but lets go with 99 percent of them are great great people and theyve done jobs that are record setting record setting i cannot i want house correspondent can be held on with those words the president also been meeting Law Enforcement representatives. Yeah hes been meeting and his position is one that has been echoed by his press secretary caylee mcenaney as she held a press briefing prior to that Law Enforcement round table in the view of this white house they are essentially saying there to paul that the suggestion by some democrats that there be a defining of the police force they say this is the left going too far and in fact they say that no one in the white house agrees with this no one in america does either now obviously thats not true because there are many in the left in the United States who are calling for this it can take a number of forms it could mean that there is some money that is slashed from budgets put into social programs economic programs to help Companies Rather communities that have been affected disproportionately by crime and other issues that require the police to be called but in the midst of this we should be clear well the trumpet ministration says that it does not support it also that is true of some very prominent democrats particularly House Speaker nancy pelosi and also the man who is trying to win the white house come november against donald trump us the former Vice President joe biden in fact his campaign putting out a statement saying that they are not calling for a defunding of Police Forces in the United States instead he says there is an urgent need for reform and it can mean once you finish he has been talking about the need to reform police. Yes so given the fact that there have been this widespread protest for a number of weeks now in the United States theyre moving from that momentum that has built up from the street level to the legislative level of Police Reform legislation unveiled by House Democrats who control that chamber earlier today it was a somber moment as they started off that press conference with an 8 minute and 46 seconds moment of silence kneeling down in order to honor george floyd and also others who have been killed they say victims the systemic racism in policing so what this legislation seeks to do is a number of things set up a National Police registry bad things like chokeholds and also make sure that there is something that is no longer in place that is currently in place and thats something called qualified immunity that basically shields Police Officers from civil litigation so these are some of the things that are being sought but we have to remember the wheels of the legislative process move very slowly well this may pass in the house of representatives there are still questions about whether its current form it would pass the Republican Controlled Senate or whether this president a republican as well would sign it into law can be ok thank you very much Tony Williams is a member of 150 an organization thats helping the Minneapolis Police department understand the history of u. S. Policing and its relationship with communities he joins me live via skype thank you very much for being with us just on the issue of defunding the police what exactly in terms of minneapolis is that something that they would actually do completely take away the money from the police or is it a partial defunding. Yeah well thanks for having me on i want to say 1st that m. P. T. 150 is interested in helping our Community Learn about the history of the police not necessarily helping them learn their own history we created the 1st independent history of the Police Department thats ever been created here in minneapolis in response to your question i would say that we are ultimately Police Abolitionists we believe that the police are not a system that can efficiently and effectively provide for the safety of our communities especially when theyre constantly invested in violence against black and brown people and that we need to move away from a Police Department entirely we did see a commitment from a veto proof majority of the Minneapolis City Council at 3 pm yesterday saying that they believed that Police Reform was fundamentally impossible that they are moving away from the department and are looking to dismantle the Minneapolis Police department and will be engaging in a deep Community Process over the next year in order to identify whatever comes next will look like sorry when you when you say dismantlement i know that in other cases in the past people of dismantle the Police Department kind of essentially rebuilt it but in a different way you saying that there would be no peace about nobody i mean who would you call for instance if there was a violent act on the street with a b somebody to cool or not. Absolutely so i think somebody said at the event yesterday were not abolishing abolishing police were not abolishing help so its helpful 1st to understand that police have not existed for the vast majority of Human History weve been a species for 200000 years weve had civilization for 10000 and the London Metropolitan Police Department is actually the 1st department ever established in the 1600s policing didnt come to north america until 838 so its actually a relatively new construction but i think when we look at the need for safety of course our communities need safety and of course our communities need the resources to see to those needs the problem with policing is number one is that its based in an underlying presumption of racism right police in the United States evolved directly out of slave patrols for example i mean and the 2nd problem with it is that its actually not a good solution to almost any of the problems that police are asked to deal with its a one size fits all solution on for safety issues that are incredibly diverse and unique to individual Communities Just like when we see some sort in charge of it briefly that you talk about the history of it but i mean one of the issues in the states i suppose that that the police confronted that is that in the office in this case in georgia its case and many others that the people were not but a lot of the country is on civilians to carry arms and i guess that puts. Not just that puts society at risk in a different way doesnt it from from what youre describing. Well certainly but when you look at you know the way that social workers for example do their work or Mental Health professionals do their work or youth workers do their work im a lot of them come into situations that are potentially violent all the time and run into people that are armed all the time and theyre still not executing armed civilians on the street so i think the issue that we see with Police Brutality is its exacerbated by the gun the levels of gun ownership in the United States but it certainly doesnt its not just because of the issue of gun ownership in the United States the problem is deeper than that Tony Williams thank you very much indeed for sharing thoughts and some thank you yes thank you i would encourage people to check out m. P. T. 150 dot com for further resources on Police Abolition in minneapolis thank you very much. Racism at protests as in both the u. S. And u. K. And directing their anger at one human they say celebrate a history of prejudice british protest as toppled a statue of 17th century slave trader Edward Colson and dumped it into priscillas harbor he was part of the company that had a monopoly of the slave trade from west africa in london a statue of water made of Winston Churchill was spray painted to say he was a racist expressed racist and antisemitic views and is blamed for 943 famine which killed more than 2000000 indians and one link to the Confederate States in the us which broke away of a support for slavery has become a target a statue in virginia was covered in paint and had a new space to round it and on thursday virginias governor announced plans to remove the statue of confederate general robot in the u. K. Prime minister says he wont indulge people who desecrate monuments but a debate has now been opened up over who does deserve to be remembered in bronze or stone swords the report. Whats a statue for the basic assumption is a celebration of the life in achievements of someone regarded as historically significant which explains without the slightest question why supporters of black lives matter in the english port city of bristol did what they did after all in the 17th century when britain was an empire and would colston grew rich from african slavery using ships out of crystal harbor how appropriate stick these people to dump him and his ideas in the sea criminal damage your own does the 7 of you know jamaicans some point were enslaved and i cant say that that statue is anything fancy to me in the middle of the city other significant figures in british politics are equally clear that the statues are a standing insult to people of color imagine what its like as a black person to walk past a stash of somebody who in slave drive and we are commemorating them celebrating the ms icons in the hall the most diverse city in the world and i think we should start to show in museums give and give the proper context we can learn about some of the bad things done they were the empire after colston everyones wondering whos next theyve been busy taking the graffiti off Winston Churchill in Central London as well as David Lloyd George the last liberal Prime Minister of britain young smuts the founder of apartheid south africa and Abraham Lincoln as well but the view of people who say statue should be raised from view completely continues to infuriate the government we live in an open society and in a democracy we have the means and the mechanisms to bring statues down and to change the society in the way in which we wish to other controversial figures will be turning in their graves like Major General robert clive who oversaw British Colonial rule in india and in oxford on to State University students and others will once again turn their attention to sessile rhodes a long time target of people who think it outrageous that such a key figure in the British Empire in south africa should continue to be on it they tried before to get roads taken down without success as in the United States increasingly the protesters are taking less and less notice of what the politicians have to say gloriously aljazeera. On this im joined by Donna Gabriel shes an academic in race and gender and a former member of the campaign to remove a statue of imperialist sessile roads in the bush city of oxford she joins us on skype from london thanks so much for being with us so just to go back to the removing of the statues how does the removal of a statue help the cause of improving peoples lives and and reducing racism will be statues exist all through our our country many of us who pass them every day but we barely even notice them and we dont do not understand the significance and the implications of the people and the systems that these statues memorialized so these kinds of protests where which involve during attention to the statue and taking that kind of direct action is really about highlighting the Hidden History of slavery colonialism that has driven britains development and by contextualizing that history by understanding that history of race and racism in britain historically we can better understand how it exists in the present and that will move forward in terms of making the lives of that even this country better what about that. Its going to about there i mean or tearing down for instance the in bristol the interior minister pretty said its not for mobs to tear down statues and cause criminal damage in our streets is that is that a fair comment. Well what i would say is that people have been trying to get this statue down in bristol through these official bureaucratic means since the 1980 s. And even though they want to over the consensus of many members of the community this is the action has actually frequently been blocked by wealthy donors who still consider colsons legacy to be something that should not be touched and i would go back to my own experience as a campaigner as a student campaigner in the rights muscle in Oxford Campaign we went through every single official channel we did the petitions we did the protests we did the lobbying we did the letter writing and when we finally won a consultation process from the college where the road statue stands which was meant to consult with students that up to this with member of the community about the future of the road statue and also committed to the removal of a plaque commemorating sessile roads that process was halted because a bunch of anonymous unidentified unaccountable donors threaten to withdraw funding from the college if the consultation process went ahead so what i would say is when that process is constantly blocked even when the game is played what do you expect people to do next so beyond that though i mean is there a danger that the focus on the statue is actually a distraction and that some of the other measures that might make a difference peoples lives in getting more people into work for her for instance from nation minority backgrounds that sort of pale into the background in that theres not that theres not have enough emphasis on or some of the practical measures that might make a difference now. Well the work that ive been doing as an educator and as someone whos committed to colonizing education since since i was and must fill in 2015 the start she was very much a symbol about the kinds of education of radical transports of education policy that we want to implement we want to ensure that children throughout the schooling system and our Higher Education adequately and honestly taught about the long lasting implications of slavery and colonialism in britain we looked at this past the very rose tinted glasses either completely ignoring that history or talking about it with nostalgia so this is really you know the act of the stuff behind this happen committed not only to the kinds of brother coppola see reform and radical policy changes that would improve and make those practical improvements to the lives of people of color in this country but also to radically changing the Education System and so that is where the decarbonizing curriculum what comes it down here thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to their thank you thank you for having me i mean up on this news hour from london the deepest recession since the 2nd world war the World Bank Offers a pessimistic forecast for Global Economy as.

The number of corona virus infections around the world has now passed 7000000 this graphic from flourish shows how the number of deaths has grown relative to other courses causes through the year initially of little concern with fewer deaths than conflict or even drowning but as the days roll on the virus shown by the growing olive line overtakes natural disasters the flu meningitis and malaria to take the most lives and its still going well at americas accounting for more and more of that growth and the World Health Organization the sound of the alarm that the outbreak in the region has not reached its peak Officials Say Global Support is needed. We need strong government leadership in latin america we need Strong International solidarity with the countries of latin america and we need leadership from within latin america too to bring this disease under control its not one country its many many countries experiencing very severe epidemics with what we saw in europe and north America Health system is now coming under real strain intensive care beds not being available in all countries to to cope with the disease and a lot of fear and confusion at a Community Level for Different Reasons so i would say right now the epidemic in central and south america is the most complex of all of the situations we faced globally they impact their pandemic on the health of the Global Economy has also been made in stark terms that the world bank expect the Global Economy to shrink by 5. 2 percent this year because of shut down measures this would be the deepest recession since the 2nd world war much of that will be borne by advanced economies which are expected to suffer a 7 percent contraction while emerging and developing economies are forecast to shrink by 2 and a half percent thats the 1st time it experienced a contraction as a group in at least 16 years or francisco or as our goal is manager of the world Banks Development Economic Prospects Group she joins us from washington d. C. Thank you very much indeed for joining us so some quite stark figures which areas in the world of worst affected and on your forecast. Really at this mind 90 percent of countries are facing per capita. Which are income declines there is hardly any country in a way that escapes this this perfect storm of shocks so the previous speaker already spoke about the domestic shocks of the rest of Health Crisis but on top of that almost every country in the word is also facing external shocks trade has collapsed. By more dissolute 2010 and in 2000 im sure the previous record tourism has fallen is near evaporated by almost 100 percent from last year a Commodity Prices have half so this is really i cant think of any country that escapes this perfect storm of shocks to the bottom aesthetic and external one side of course most hit other ones that are facing multiple of the shot so for example latin america expected to contract by 7. 2 percent this year was a very anemic recovery next year and that is because its facing multiple shocks in a messy crisis plus they are heavily export oriented in the caribbean as a tourism oriented you know its good i was here early days in terms of the response but globally there are lots of different approaches all in Different Countries doing Different Things to try and manage the the fallout are there any that stand out here as being the kind of model waiting actually thats a really good idea and that should really help to limit the damage whether 2 types of responses as a Health Response phrase is or has done very well really brought the numbers today infections but theres also the economic response and there that is the civilizing all of this the way policymakers around the words have stepped up very quickly and very aggressively to support of a number of groups is a big sea change for example 2009 at the moment in 2020. Advance Economy Policy makers have put in place soon as fiscal stimulus or double digits that compares is a multiple of what was put in place in 2000 i even imagine markets and developing economies on average have put in place fiscal stimulus at 5. 4 percent of g. D. P. So a lot has gone right on the Economic Policy of sight front that the 1st the symbolism Antonis Samaras what was put in place to avoid what us and in terms of the recovery i mean lots of countries economies are now opening up kind of almost regardless of whether theyve managed to bring down code 19 completely or how whats your forecast for the recovery. There thats very seat a structure this is a long difficult road ahead so yes we do expect low growth of course recovers to 4. 2 percent next year but that is not enough to offset the losses of this year and if past past recessions are much milder than this one if past recessions are any guide it will take many years for the Global Economy economy to truly recover because consumers tighten their belts to be repaired as savings investors the way its a delayed a process projects and turned to dust has settled a bit so we have many years of struggling Global Economy ahead of us if history is any guide francisco owns or thank you very much indeed for joining us from aljazeera thank you only u.
