Paying you feel when you watch Something Like that when you watch a big brother or you looked up to for your whole life da da big of was my what we saw in minnesota the slow torture is murder of george floyd by a uniform officer was an outrage and a tragedy what we have seen since then millions of americans marching in the street to demand justice and call for reforms it has been an inspiration now it was a 7 in 10 americans now say floyds death is part of a systemic problem of police brutalizing and killing black americans defund the police has become a rallying cry for those demanding reform but the meaning of the phrase is nuance to most defunded the police means shifting some money from Police Departments to social services but to the far left and means abolishing police altogether republicans have seized on that extremist interpretation warning of an arcade they know it is pure insanity to defund the police and the fact that my democrat colleagues wont speak out against this crazy policy. Its just out frightening the. Senate republicans are drafting their own proposal for Police Reform likely to include requirements for more bias training but the immunity officers enjoyed from civil lawsuits will likely remain intact the 2 parties competing ideas may reach a stalemate potentially resulting in nothing. But protesters have already made clear they wont accept that outcome they say of Congress Takes no action then voters will at the polls in november. Castro aljazeera washington lets go straight to the white house now speak to our correspondent there Kimberly Halkett kimberly the trumpet ministration continues to defend police in the wake of the continuing protests what are we hearing today in response to that testimony on capitol hill. Yeah the White House Press secretary kelly mcenaney was addressing reporters questions at the briefing earlier and she really pushed back on the notion that the president s tweet in some way had been in accurate offensive the president tweeted about 24 hours ago a little longer that he suggested that a protester up in buffalo new york last week that fell down when a Police Officer pushed him hes in recovering from hospital as the president suggested that that may have been a stage fall that the protesters even could be a member of n t well reporters asked the press secretary about this and she said that sensually what she was doing was defending the Police Officers saying that they have the right to tell their side of the story and that the president does not want to see their lives destroyed in the court of public an opinion Public Opinion she feels that the response so far has been as she called it reflexive lee antipolice and while the president she says doesnt condone any violence and she says he wants to make sure that appropriate force is used in other words feel that there are more questions than answers to the videotape and that is simply what she says the president was doing when he sent out that tweet and kimberly part of the debate seems to have gone beyond the Police Brutality the president now seems particularly upset about proposals to rename some military bases explain to us a little bit more about whats going on there yeah the u. S. President for his part has weighed in on that but before i get to that i want to also bring up another announcement was was just made in the last few moments even though we have has sort of widespread protests across the United States doesnt seem that a lot of people concerned about social distancing and now weve in fact seen some of those states where there has started to be spikes again in corona virus the u. S. President has Just Announced in spite of those concerns that hes going to restart his make America Great again rally. Were going to be starting our rallies the 1st one we believe will be probably we just starting to call up will be in oklahoma in tulsa oklahoma beautiful new venue brand new looking forward to it theyve done a great job with the code as you know now to pick up on the answer to your question with regard to this renaming of military bases this is a it seems to be a real sore point with the president was brought up in the press briefing the president also tweeting about it weve seen in the wake of the social unrest weve seen people toppling statues defacing statues that have anything to do with colonialism or here in the United States it has to do with confederacy well there has been this effort to rename some military bases in the United States named after confederate commanders the u. S. President weighing in on this saying that these are heroes that were deployed from these bases my administration will not even consider the renaming of these magnificent and fabled military installations now i should point out the defense secretary has weighed in on this is well as the chair of the joint chiefs saying this should be part of a bipartisan discussion but the commander in chief says this is not open for discussion and really how could have the white house can really as always thank you meanwhile the Minneapolis Police department is breaking off talks with the powerful state police union its police chief says its part of planned reforms in the wake of George Floyds this daria are a dont go says the Union Contract needs to be restructured to provide more transparency. This is further examining those 6 significant matters that touch on such things as Critical Incident protocol our use of force the significant role that supervisors play in this department and also the discipline process to include both grievances and arbitration. And i believe i speak for my chief peers here in the state of minnesota as well as across our country that there is nothing more debilitating to a chief from an Employment Matter perspective that when you have grounds to terminate an officer for misconduct when youre dealing with a 3rd Party Mechanism that allows for that employee to not only be back on your department. But to be patrolling in your communities. The front of the police as being a coast to coast cry of protesters in the United States one estimate suggests 1252 black people have been shot and killed by u. S. Police since 2050 so why is it so difficult to introduce reform with nearly 800000 local state and federal Police Agencies its one of the most the centralized Police Organizations in the world there are also more than 600 training academies of varying content and quality the power of the Police Unions is also a major factor critics argue that unions set the tone for the Police Culture and they have been able to block reform in the name of labor rights and theres also a general reluctance for investigators prosecutors and juries to 2nd guess what they believe to be an officer is split 2nd decision. Lets go to new york now we can talk to foreign hadari hes executive director of the policing project at the n. Y. U. School of law sir thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera to discuss this thread started with the ritual point we made to defund the police it means Different Things to different people what do you think it should mean if we are going to have reform of the police in the states. Thanks for having me youre right define the police means Different Things to different people i think there is a core theres no a lot of people are starting to agree with that we put too much on police we train them in force and law and yet we send them into almost every situation we can imagine if theres a homeless person some the Police Violent crimes and the Police Traffic stops and the police send the police and if thats your motto thats your solution to every societal problem what youre going to get in response to all those problems is force and law so i think the solution is thinking really critically really creatively about whether or not police are the right answer to every problem we have as a society so i guess you mean a little less money to the police and that money to be pumped into social services which would help lots of situations and put less strain on the police but one of the main accusations of the police is often just simply not really accountable how do you think the u. S. Could go about reforming that and what do you make of the Minneapolis Police department breaking off talks with the powerful state police a union would you think the relationship should be with the unions if freeform is to happen. You know its a simple question and i think i think accountability has 2 sides to it so one is making sure that when things go wrong someone is held to account so thats what a lot of what we heard the police you talk about ensuring that he can actually instill discipline he can fire officers that have the things wrong but theres another side to accountability and its what we call fun and accountability and it comes from governments comes from legislators its setting rules and passing laws to me its to guy what police do and how they can act in my view the federal government and state governments have fallen down on their obligation gooseberry few laws that tell police how this should go about wielding the immense power we give them and thats just Good Government its time to step up and pass laws on the federal and state level to tell to give Police Guidance well i mean we heard George Floyds brother it speaking to politicians urging them to stop the pain earlier today do you see whats in the death of George George floyd and whats happened since as potentially a turning point when it comes to this issue i think i hope it i hope it is you know we the u. S. Has gone through a lot of this in the last several years the last several decades but actually since ferguson you know i think people of more people are waking up to the problems day there were calls for reform 5 years ago and now youre seeing the pain on the streets and i think youre starting to see people on both sides realize that the system we have now is not working for everybody and its not working for everybody then something fundamentally has to change and i think the best way to do that is to address if police are the right solution to every problem veteran hadari executive director of the policing project at the n. Y. U. School of law thank you so much for sharing your views with us thank you appreciate. Statue of Christopher Columbus in the u. S. City of richmond has become the latest to be torn down by protesters that a stranger is used ropes to drag the effigy off its pedestal before setting it on fire and throwing it into a lake the monument was toppled less than 2 hours after demonstrators had gathered chanting for it to go activists then vandalized the foundation that once held the stuff here.

And in sports why the olympics looks likely to be slimmed down for tokyo next year. The world is facing its worst peacetime recession in a century thats according to the organization for Economic Cooperation and development it predicts that the Global Economy will shrink by at least 6 percent in 2020 because of the coronavirus lockdowns and britain france italy and spain will be worst hit with g. D. P. Decreases of at least 11 percent the o. E. C. D. Also says the fallout will be even worse if there is a 2nd wave of the pandemic it is. The governments foerster more resilient inclusive and Sustainable Growth the aim should be to go back to quote unquote normal actually normal was what got us where we are now. A senior British Health expert says the u. K. s coronavirus test toll could have been hoft if the lockdown had been brought in a week earlier more than 41000 people have now died in the u. K. Former government adviser Neil Ferguson was giving evidence to m. P. s. Those. Who. Had. The. Violence the haw. Almost i think given what we know d about this but you about this dance then. The other 3. Were probably the. Second guest on this court. Have we introduced the. Prime minister far as johnson says the decision is made were based on scientific advice the u. K. Is continuing to ease its restrictions we must stick to our rate and. I urge everyone to continue to show restraint and respect the rules which are designed to keep us safe and its only because of the restraint that everyone youve shown so far that were able to move gradually out of this look down dr john ashton is a former regional director of Public Health for the northwest of england he joins me now via skype from yorkshire and dr ashton thank you so much for joining us 1st of all what did you make of those comments today by Neil Ferguson. I wish these experts had said these things 2 months ago you know. The problem was in march we had such polar data because we werent doing extensive enough testing that the models were totally useless and you know theres an old expression in the computing world go garbage in garbage out whatever date it went into the bubble and produced whatever came out and not meant the a lot of those were predicting a much flatter epidemic of it actually happened and then in that week of the 9th of march they realized this actually the curve in the u. K. Was much steeper than the us and was following the italian curve and realized that if things went on that way we were going to have huge numbers of deaths. So weve had that going on weve also had politically led science not science led politics weve had pay our people running their communications and the data that the public have been given has been very confusing and incomplete so its remarkable that we have the cooperation with the lockdown that we did what weve seen over the last 2 or 3 weeks is its completely crumbled and were going to be very lucky if we get away without a 2nd wave now because theres still a lot of the virus circulating there are still thousands of new cases every day and the conditions of very are even worse than where we instigated lock down there are more when this book virus in the community now than there was when we locked down because i mean you say when the u. K. Locked down even when it did that the lockdown here was never a strange and has in places like italy or spain where when they go for example people more and allowed out to go for their one hours worth of exercise do you think that that has played a part in some of the best numbers that were seeing now. I think thats right in that there are 3 groups that fail to engage with the look down this is the only pays this included the Prime Minister himself who was boasting about going round hospital shaking hands with people law so they only pays who became infected theres been the religious communities have been an issue congregating and that sort of lead to and operate and then this being a particular problem engaging with younger people and i think you know they openness and transparency that the World Health Organization asked for beginning hasnt been and we needed to take people on the charity this been a breakdown of trust with the government messaging because the government messaging has been political not properly fact based i suppose you know we could say well we are where we are in the u. K. You know started its lockdown when it did but what do you make of the situation now because as of monday nonessential shops will open some children Young Children have started going back to school the government has put in some measures of people coming from outside having to quarantine coming from outside the u. K. But in general what do you make of the strategy now. Well it 1st and foremost lets remind ourselves that maybe 30000. 00 people have died unnecessarily weve now got a strategy which is a shambles its very confused it means that people are going out in the bios and its quite possible the virus could say golf again we still havent goals consistent testing tracing and isolating and thats what should have been in place before we east of the lock down i dont think we should be reopening the schools until weve got testing tracing and isolating proper resources as weve never recovered from the last month in february when the Prime Minister was absent without leave so do you then think the government has essentially not learned to its lesson from the early mistakes im afraid not and theyve been very unwilling to copy the successful things that have happened in other parts of the world you say lend rain south Korea Germany they you know many countries have done very well in this and weve done very badly im afraid to say dr john ashton former regional director of Public Health for the northwest of england dr ashleigh its been great to get your views here thank you thank you well italys Prime Minister just ethical they are said to be questioned by prosecutors on friday over the handling of the pandemic the prosecutors are looking in particular at why i have read so it was not enforced in february around the towns of member and sandal. Regional officials and the government blame each other for the fate here italy was europes 1st coronavirus epicenter and has recorded of a 34000 that its. A majority of the Assembly Members of the of the janeiro state legislature have voted to start impeachment proceedings against its governor Wilson Witsel for alleged fraud in the purchase of ventilators on wednesday the federal police also raided the Government Palace of part of state and the governors home as part of another investigation into alleged fraud the number of infections keeps rising across the country and sao paulo retail shops reopened despite reporting a Record Number of deaths for 2 days more than 30000 people have died in brazil and its widely believed that the outbreak has yet to peak. Well lets cross live now to daniel shrine miller who joins us from when desirous i mean brazil really has become a muslim attic of the favor of some countries to deal with the pandemic kid what do you make of the situation there now. Well the raids on both the state governors of Rio De Janeiro and the northern states of were indicative of part of this fight alleged corruption from both governors that theyve been misusing state funds to buy the equipment needed in the fight against pandemic both men as they tend to do have denied any involvement any wrongdoing in the cases but what must be remembered is that both of these governors in the northern states apart from the opposition left wing Workers Party and also with a right wing governor former ally of president john bolton are all in Rio De Janeiro both fierce opponents of the way hes handled the pandemic his very kind of laid back attitude calling it a my modeled flu encouraging people to go out onto the streets to attend his demonstrations the president himself rarely Wearing Masks both state governors have tried to impose strict lockdowns and measures to control the corporate 19 pandemic and have fallen foul of how very verbal arguments with the job also narrow over social media and elsewhere so they will claim and they will soon with source case the governor of rio has claimed that these these cases against them are purely political president barroso now who said he will go after any governors any politicians who are misusing funds but they do feel its a political case to try to remove them from the from the political debate with him pushing for a relaxation of rules and people to be out on the street. Encouraging the brazilian economy to go further. So i guess particular attention in brazil but many countries in latin america are really suffering and what is the situation across the continent. Well were seeing a rise in the number of death Record Numbers in the daily reported numbers of deaths in several countries in chile today 192 deaths were reported a lockdown has been in place in santiago in the capital for some time but lockdowns being brought into place in 5 other cities to try to contain the pandemic Record Numbers of deaths daily deaths in colombia 64 deaths there and Record Numbers here in argentina argentina has been relatively well controlled 717 deaths since the pandemic started they did begin. Like in some of the very tight lock downs here especially in the capital one osiris or monday night they allowed runners people to go out and exercise for the 1st time but what happened this week from 8 oclock in the evening on would what happened was tens of thousands of people out on the streets running some of them i suspect not regular runners president Alberto Fernandez was very angry about this and hes now threatening to reimpose some of these measures to say look we control things very well so far we cant allow people to come out and abuse the lifting of restrictions if they do that we will put downs back in place again to try to control the pandemic and were trying there with the latest from when as i understand your think you know. Moscows Health Department says 5260 people died from covert 19 in the city last month thats far higher than the 1895 reported by russias Coronavirus Crisis Response Center over the course of may officials attribute the spike to a change in the way coronavirus deaths are certified russia has recorded the 3rd highest number of cases in the world after the United States and brazil but its a relatively low number of deaths said just over 6000 thats raised questions despite this also doesnt.

Swedish prosecutors say they know who killed former Prime Minister all of parliament ending decades of history how it was shot on a busy street in 1986 the suspect has since died ending the investigation but as for restrict ports the looking away of files unlikely to give the country closure. For 34 years the memorial to murdered Prime Minister of palmer has been the most solid thing about a case that has haunted sweden a man both loved and hated at home and abroad parliament was shot and killed on stockholms busiest street as he walked with his wife liz but palmer had been to the cinema with his family without a body guard a decision that would end in one of the biggest and longest murder investigations in the world all of palmer and his wife left the cinema at about quarter past 11 on the night of 28th of february 1906 walking past the churchyard where parliament would soon be buried when they got to this corner someone came up behind them shot palma in the back leaving the Prime Minister dying on the ground. The murder scene was immediately contaminated by mourners laying flowers one of a string of mistakes that cut the chances of finding the killer this man christa pettish on was convicted in 1909 but cleared the same year on wednesday swedens prosecutor coincidentally also called chris to petition announced a new chief suspect steve angstrom previously a witness known as the scandia mount because of the Insurance Company where he worked and who opposed palmas socialist policies and storm killed himself 20 years ago to counter the call were told to move on a military tour on offer we cant open proceedings or interview him so my decision is to close the investigation as the suspect is deceased the naming of angstrom still without any physical evidence linking him to a murder weapon appears to put to bed the international leads investigation had followed those included the kurdistan Workers Party after the killings of defectors in sweden led palmer to declare them a terrorist organization. While in the 1990 s. South african intelligence agents said their colleagues had been behind the Prime Ministers murder following palmas support for the African National congress and condemnation of the Apartheid Regime swedish journalist thomas partition named angstrom as the likely suspect in a book in 2017 im glad that they come to the same conclusion as i did that he is. The killer is most in there from internationally from famous politician of parliament and his to some some kind of symbol for. Perhaps the best of sweden and this unsolved case has been tormenting us all of parliament was thats most unusual of swedish Prime Ministers one who had an impact outside his own country his anti colonial and anti racist views made him a fierce critic of global superpowers while at home he raised taxes to fund the welfare state and welcomed immigrants those policies may have put him into the grave in which is lain for more than 3 decades the love that many swedes have for him is insured but as the case is closed it looks likely that the Unanswered Questions will enjoy as well paul reese aljazeera stock. An inquiry has been ordered in the u. S. State of georgia after its primary election on tuesday was marred by technical glitches and claims of Voter Suppression people queued for hours to cast their vote and some areas for important shortages of new Voting Machines practical hand has more. In the stifling heat and in the pouring rain they waited for hours to simply cast a vote even for state that has a long history of Voter Suppression and election issues this was a massive failure since 1130 whats up now its 230 you know were going on that 4 hour you just hear this every single election cycle and theres constantly. Voter suppression thats going on because we dont have enough polling locations and we dont have enough machines that are in certain neighborhoods georgia spent more than 100000000. 00 for new Voting Machines the voter said many of them just didnt work there were fewer polling places because of the coronavirus many who requested absentee ballots never received them and in some places they ran out of ballots the majority of the problem seemed to occur in cities and in places because large minority populations that tend to vote democratic the republican secretary of state who runs the election didnt take any responsibility when these things arise civically one or 2 counties its just how these issues today it really goes back to the failure of. Those look into what were doing in the rest of.
