Just one day after george floyd was laid to rest his brother as testified at a congressional hearing looking at racial inequality and Police Violence and the United States felonies for it called his brothers modder his death rather a modern day lynching in broad daylight it urged politicians to stop the pain Congressional Democrats have proposed sweeping changes to how america polices black people but the white house says certain proposals are going to happen such as reducing immunity for Police Officers who say they are being vilified all politicians in washington figure out what to do next protesters are pressing on with their cause going into the 16th night of demonstrations castro has more. Philonous cloyd traveled directly from his brothers funeral in houston to the u. S. Capitol joyous call for him and he was ignored please listen to the car out all make it to you now to the cause of our family and the cars ringing out the streets across the world people of all backgrounds genders and races have come together to demand change House Democrats have proposed sweeping legislation to Reform Police departments in the wake of George Floyds death that includes increasing Police Accountability for officer misconduct and Banning Police chokeholds im tired im tired of. Pain you feel when you watch Something Like this when you watch a big brother or do 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 and i got 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 yet they the 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 all democrats and republicans in Congress Work on rival plans for Police Reform the white house says that its finalizing its own i can a has more from washington d. C. Well the white house is still to inform any change in policy there has been discussions among Administration Officials for the president to make some kind of announcement to clarify exactly what the white houses position is on Police Reform now those discussions have been ongoing there is a possibility that the president may bring up some new policy when he meets with African American religious and Law Enforcement leaders in dallas and thursday his officials are saying that this might be an occasion for him to express exactly what he feels but what he has ruled out at this particular point is a central part of what the democrats are talking about in congress and that is things like moving the liability for police changing the statute under which they are given a qualified liability for acts of violence president has ruled that out already saying that that would be unfair to Police Officers so not very clear at this stage exactly how the impact of the last few weeks of protest has the impact it has had on the white house but we do expect and Administration Officials are saying that there will be some clarity there will be a firm a policy emerging in the next few days minneapolis place departments breaking off talks with the state Police Departments chief says thats part of plan reforms in the wake of George Floyds death but daria are dando says the Union Contract needs to be restructured to provide more transparency this is further examining the 6 significant matters. That touch on such things is Critical Incident protocol for 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 or current 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 they found the police has been a coast to coast cry the protesters in the United States the one estimate suggest more than 1200 black people have been shot and killed by the u. S. Police since 2015 so why is it so difficult to enter this reform theres a few theories and some some facts with nearly 18000 local state and federal Police Agencies as one of the most decentralized Police Organizations in the world are also more than 600 training academies of varying content very quality the power of the Police Shooting insist the chief just talked about there its also a major factor critics argue that union set the tone for the Police Culture and that they have been able to block reform in the name of labor rights theres also a general reluctance for an investigator as prosecutors and juries to 2nd guess what they believe to be an officers split 2nd decision for Shane Aldridge jr as a Missouri State representative and Community Organizer explains why people want to redirect money from frontline policing to community and social programs. What were saying is reinvest almost always back into the community make Community Strong if its Community Schools its Community Centers but ways that we can put the money back into the Community Hands so that they can have more before we use more of an impact in their community and have a strong neighborhood and set of constantly being tough on crime we need to figure out how we be smarter on crime because for years the Public Safety budget has been majority of our citys budget youre in the same city or st louis county and we have not seen a change when it comes to the way that the culture that he snapped in the city of st louis crime is always occur only with the budget in place that is currently in place where theres a bunch ill say over 50 percent of the budget is going to Public Safety i think weve seen when you reinvest back in the neighborhood and we deal neighborhoods if its homes its making sure communities have Quality Health care or Just Health Care facilities in the neighborhood it does make an impact and i know folks like to use as a talking point but the reality is the budget that we have currently had has not made a change we continue to see a spike in crime so why dont we take a chance of doing Something Different and see how does that make him back in the neighborhood and i think its something that not just we understand here in missouri but all across the country that we need to reimagine Public Safety in our communities because it has not been going successful with the over budget of our Police Department to more atlanta officers have been fired falling an incident last month or 2 College Students were taser while in their car for a fire cops and 2 others are facing a criminal charges over this traffic stop which was captured right here on a body count video that was released by the atlanta Police Department. And portsmouth virginia protesters have torn apart a monument to confederate soldiers. The statues of soldiers who were destroyed in spray painted with one falling on top of the protesters angry demonstrators attacked the monument after 2 portsmouth and members were arrested earlier in the day a statue of Christopher Columbus in the u. S. City of richmond that is in the state of virginia was torn down by protesters set fire and thrown into a lake demonstrators ropes to drag the effigy off the pedestal the monument was toppled less than 2 hours after demonstrators started chanting for that statue to go and a columbus statue was also toppled in minneapolis columbus has a legacy of violent clonal as a man cruel treatment towards indigenous peoples. The debate at risk chooses even becoming a hot topic in the halls of the u. S. Capitol speaker of the house nancy pelosi says confederate statues honoring men who took up arms against the government in order to preserve slavery should be removed from the Capitol Building place palosi that is needed that state when shes the most powerful woman in america she says that she lacks the authority though to remove 11 statues of confederate figures and a letter to the committee that oversees the statues she notes that at least 2 of them were charged with treason against the United States.

Plenty more ahead in the news hour including thousands rally against racism in the netherlands which is facing up to its own past. Providence in colombia that illegal bloggers are using prado virus blacktown to hack away at the amazon undisturbed and in sports now ask our response to antiracism protests by banning the Confederate Flag and its racist. Because tech giant amazon says its banning the police from using its facial recognition tool for a year or and growing concerns Technology May lead to unfair treatment of black people amazon says that it hopes that congress will come up with some appropriate rules for the ethical use of facial recognition the tech company has long defended the polices use of real time Surveillance Technology but a reform bill proposed by democrats aims to ban it from and matthew and San Francisco is a policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier foundation a nonprofit Digital Rights group free appreciate your time so much so amazon has as had a change of heart and says that they Hope Congress does something about their product how does that sit with you well i didnt say that well for one reason. The technology itself is incredibly harmful you know one year is not going to make a difference and also any type of Reform Congress could pass in one year is not going to change the fact that this technology in the hands of a criminal Justice System that is very flawed is still going to end in invasive surveillance and in all over policing of already vulnerable communities so you tell me more about what these concerns are are not new these concerns about these types of products have been around for a while tell me more about how you see them as dangerous. Well Face Surveillance threatens a lot of the 1st member of texans we have here in the United States in terms of chilling free Speech Assembly you are much less likely to attend a protest to participate in politics and even maybe go out and campaign for a candidate of your choice if you think that there might be cameras around that are going to fan your scan your face and identify you immediately people might be of much less willing to get involved in the political process so. In addition to just being kind of invasive surveillance 2nd track people as they move across the city they can identify you know when you walk down the street with their hue you have dinner with it also threatens some other Civil Liberties besides just privacy so youre not that confident that this is something that cant be legislated away no i mean we advocate for a full band of government use of face recognition because you know no matter how much its improved no matter how much its reform the ability for the government to track your face as you move through society is not something thats going to become less invasive or is something thats going to become less of a hinderance to Civil Liberties so considering your point that this is probably not something that can be legislated away that there needs to be an outright ban how realistic is that and what are the alternatives if its not banned well i mean i think it is actually quite realistic i mean already across the United States there have been a number of cities that have already large cities that have already done full bans including San Francisco for bans of government use of face recognition and it doesnt seem to be hurting policing in any way ok so we will have to see how this plays out map people regular matthew pardon me. Going as thank you very much thanks matthew. Thank you very much.

To have lockdowns courage people to do social distancing both of them vocally opposed to the flagrant measures imposed by president job also now road to get people back to work to attend rallies in his support to not wear masks he has criticized both men both men have criticized him so this is a big case. Big issue between both sides both men have claimed these cases against a politically motivated president by job also naro said he will go out after more people who misuse state funds some fear that is just a way to remove his political opponents which he of course being mentally denies so a very political case in the meantime the number of deaths in brazil continues to rise the number of people infected in the country continues to rise its now one of the worst affected countries in the world after the United States and the United Kingdom and it doesnt look as though its going to reach its peak anytime soon brazils Supreme Court has ordered the government to Start Publishing its total coronavirus casualty figures.

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. 00 there 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 and 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 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. To do what were doing in the rest of the local official did take responsibility but seemed confused as to how so many things went wrong in this is holding down the election this is going to lead so ultimately our response all i know is when we invested 15000000. 00 to have a smooth election thats 5000000. 00 more than weve ever invested in one election. There was also a larger than expected turnout in large part because of the recent protests over police brutality.

Chinese mobile games giant net eases debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange its been of the most highly anticipated listings in years shares were already oversubscribed net isas hoping to raise nearly 3000000000. 00 to Fund Global Expansion chinese firms are increasingly looking to the hong kong stock market amid growing pressure and the us many Big Companies like alibaba net ease have previously opted to list in the u. S. To 2 more restrictive standards on the Hong Kong Exchange but the trade war with the us has put chinese firms in the crosshairs washington wants more scrutiny of Chinese Companies with delisting from american exchanges as a possible penalty for misconduct at the same time hong kong has been a loosening some of its restrictions prompting many chinese firms to eye and move back east along with navies retail giant j. D. Dot com is hoping to raise more than 30000000000 dollars when it debuts on the Hong Kong Exchange later at the spot where mandela is an economist and chief asia strategist at so warm Investment Advisors he joins us now from hong kong so how significant is this move by netties. Its very significant bennett because of the size of how popular its been. That that i mean it was all planned well before what weve seen happen in the last 2 weeks but the fact that everybody has adopted so quickly i mean is 9 times the oversubscription that weve seen ever before is showing that the measures that have been taken the last 2 weeks havent worked very well in terms of threatening. Terms of being a useful instrument for the u. S. To push china in the trade or when you talk about whats been happening in the last 2 weeks explain that to our viewers. Theres been a lot so what weve seen is that as part of sort of u. S. China tensions china has been responding to a move by america to its threatened to Delist Companies as part of a suite of measures to stop what the president of the United States is saying is these china taking advantage of access to u. S. Capitol. So in other words one way to do that is that you allow all of you allow the new york Stock Exchange or you force new york Stock Exchange to delist Chinese Companies and so they need to find somewhere else to least to get all that capital and the sort of regulation and provide investors with trance they would have previously at it york so the very same day they did that in hong kong they change their rules to make it easier to list here so its sort of like well ok youre going to do that then went to the us here in hong kong and what we havent known is how effective hong kong sort of countermeasure would be as in if hong kong acts this way when the u. S. Has already said well we might be listed in homes that will change our rules and then investors dont subscribe to raising such as net eases then you say world this is going to be very effective way of threatening china but when you get the sort of response you get now with the oversubscription so its important and it is still actually in the u. S. Its just what is done here is that said ok we want to hold a secondary listing in other words you want to have another meeting but in hong kong it was in new york and so its sort of saying well youve got your measures but they dont seem to working very well it doesnt work that were particularly effective way of pushing the u. S. China agenda ok well have to see if other companies do the same rhymin all joining us from hong kong thank you very much thank you.

Is the main part of the dialogue is expected to revolve around military matters potentially paving the way for a reduction in u. S. Troops. The negotiations come in the wake of military escalation between iran and the u. S. On iraqi soil last year after an increase in rocket attacks that the u. S. Blamed on the iranian backed groups it retaliated with a strike on the type hizbollah positions on the syria iraq border in response the Popular Mobilization forces a number of a group of mostly shia paramilitaries that includes. Late seach to the u. S. Embassy in baghdad threatening revenge and demanding that weve droll of u. S. Troops you know that. They slater the u. S.

S. Troops from 5 faces. Tensions have since cooled iraq also has a new government led by former spy chief the me who is seen as being close to the u. S. The Prime Ministers advisor says the government wants a balanced relationship and also appears to favor a reduction in American Military presence. That has as of now we see iraqs defense capabilities havent proved maybe we need help from americans in training in intelligence and weapons supply but the situation doesnt require a wide military presence and were not going down that. The us has its own conditions going into the dialogue it wants iraq to reduce its dependence on iranian gas and rein in iranian backed armed groups who have launched attacks against the coalition one of the things that is important for our relationship with iraq and the success of the coalition is that the Iraqi Security forces continue to protect the bases where we have Small Coalition compounds just days ahead of the talks in iran leaning factions on that a Popular Mobilization of forces have reiterated their demands for complete withdrawal a demand that will likely not be met by us and the Iraqi Government appear to favor a partial reduction of troops but the question is whether they will agree on the terms that will govern their future president s whatever the outcome the dialogue is likely to usher in a new chapter of u.
