Problem for them. But does he have the power to do so such a move would likely need for assistance from state governors despite the rest from several cities across the country also coming out. Look good this is a perfect time for me im coming over our drummer looked up. Thats correspondent Stefan Siemens in minneapolis germanys foreign minister insists that journalists must be allowed to do their job asked ukraines president has vowed to do whatever it takes to achieve peace in Eastern Ukraine but one year into office he has been deliver will ask the Ukrainian Foreign minister whats Holding Back Progress plus Health Care Workers across latin america challenge coronavirus working conditions they say a lack of personal protective equipment is putting their lives at. Im sara kelly welcome to the program anger and grief over the killing of an africanamerican man in Police Custody has fueled protests across the United States for more than a week now the situation on the ground is complex some peaceful marches have turned violent looters have raided or set fire to Buildings Police have both faced off with protesters and joins them in solidarity now u. S. President donald trump has threatened to send in the military to end the violence a move likely to be met with resistance as mayors and governors try and quell the unrest in their cities. Face to face on the streets of the nations capitol and counters between police and protesters have not always been this peaceful. At about the same time just 200 meters away the u. S. President put on a show of power in the rose garden of the white house announcing that thousands of soldiers are ready to be mobilized in washington d. C. He also threatened to deploy the military in other areas. If the city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them in many cities the situation escalates after dark as police clear the streets for curfew their hands are years of slavery in attention and it seems like today the same thing is keep happening everything keeps happening ill be. There and you. Shops in new york citys famous 5th avenue were looted and Police Say Hundreds of people have been taken into custody. Other protests have been mostly peaceful including in denver colorado. And las vegas demonstrators gathered at trump tower to protest the president s approach they feel his words were inflammatory and made the situation even worse. Lets get more now were joined by dean of your Puerto William glu crawford who is following developments in the United States for us trump threatening to bring in the military does he have the authority to do so the short answer is yes its called the insurrection act its been used dozens of times according to the Congressional Research service in American History not so much recently it was employed a lot during the Civil Rights Movement the 1960 s. Most famously to desegregate schools when the state of arkansas refused to Dwight Eisenhower sent in the army to force that desegregation. Most recently it was used in 1902 with l. A. Riots and was also used in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina so there are instances of this being used but it would face a lot of protest if its not being requested by governors of states who are currently saying we have the tools at local and state level to approach this including the National Guard the National Guard which is part of the u. S. Military but is under state authority lets talk about a highly highly inflammatory and controversial move yesterday that we saw around the white house there were protesters who were there they were tear gassed they were just 1st the president then moved in in order to get a photo op tell us what happened right so by all accounts this is a peaceful protest and happening in Lafayette Park this park is between the white house and this church which is known as the president s church because every president has gone there to pray for all of American History so its very frequent very common for president s to go there but not in this fashion as it seems the president finished his rose garden remarks and without any planning more or advance warning went through this park to go to this church didnt even tell the church or Church Members that this was going to happen and almost as a maybe a 4 shot of things to come used a combination of local and federal forces to clear of this peaceful protests where people definitely had a right to be there to make room for President Trump to walk through to go to this church which the archbishop of washington criticized as being what he was outraged by by he called using the bible as a prop and very much distancing themselves the president s church from the president absolutely meantime we have joe biden who also wants to move into the presidency after the election in november he calls his power versus principle trump playing to his supporters are they still behind him in all of this you know he is. This is of course a very fluid dynamics situation where exactly people stand. Important to know that many of these protests are happening in cities not in rural areas cities that are already more left leaning already more anti trump probably more democratic categories how this is playing out in rural areas that might not be personally feeling this or being affected by this is a good question that were going to see Going Forward thats not to say that all rule people all rule people are Trump Supporters but that is where trumps base is but just as an example of this church in washington. Taking a step back from from trump and distancing themselves from his action trump has is very proud to use the church and use religion especially christianity as one of his main allies so were already seeing some cracks here possibly in some of trumps traditional support william glu crofts with the story for us thank you. As Police Crackdown on the protests videos posted on social media site show many cases of what appeared to be targeted Police Violence against reporters and camera operators some council put the number of cases that more than 100 including a d. W. Team have a listen. They call. Them. That is that theyre going to break with her 6. Were not going to have our own the murder 6 for our. Now correspondent on the scene and he was shot at with rubber bullets in minneapolis over the weekend in a 2nd incident he and his crew were shot at again as they tried to drive away from police he says that he has been harassed by police several times while reporting on the protests. Well germanys foreign minister heikal moss has insisted that journalists must be allowed to do their job reporting on the unrest in the u. S. With regard to the incidents involving. Of which we have also been made aware we would contact us oath or choose to find out more about the circumstances we remain firmly committed journalists must be able to carry out their task which is independent coverage of events without endangering their safety it would appear to push democratic states under the rule of law have to meet the highest standards when it comes to protecting freedom of the press. Standouts and. That was the German Foreign minister speaking earlier 6 years of war in Eastern Ukraine have claimed more than 10000 lives and forced millions to leave their homes as peace talks stalled a Ukrainian Defense delegation in berlin today says that those talks are expected to resume soon a fast track Peace Process was a key Campaign Pledge from ukraines president followed amir selenski but a year into the job its all proving more difficult that he promised. Tanks on the roads and shifting frontlines may now be a thing of the past but the dying in donbass has never stopped the most recent fatality just one week ago a 24 year old ukrainian soldier. Civilian casualties are rarer now but the people of donbass are paying a very real price for this will millions have been forced to leave their homes and those many older ukrainians who stayed in separatist controlled territory must cross a heavily weaponized frontline just to pick up their pensions. 6 years of negotiations are founded on one key question who should make the 1st concession Russia Ukraine even face to face meeting in paris didnt help its a standoff thats put a stable ceasefire out of reach let alone a negotiated end to this conflict but do ordinary ukrainians to believe this conflict can be resolved by negotiation. Talks wont achieve anything bush it has his goals and hes not going to change it will the political i dont think france and germany should stay involved we need more pressure on putin hes someone who only understands brute force. Were going to sustain that i think we should talk directly to put and its in his hands he started out this. Week in south that im at the festival. As efforts to bring putin selenski face to face for a 2nd summit get underway in berlin today back in ukraine hopes are fading its a little he can succeed where his predecessor failed and bring a rapid end to this war. Now lets get more now were joined by to michoacan labor the foreign minister of ukraine who is in berlin today welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us my pleasure. We just heard president followed him as a landscape he came into office with a pledge to do whatever it takes to achieve peace with russia but there is still conflict in don boss did the president underestimate the task at hand not at all here fully realizes how difficult it is to make a deal with president putin and making withdraw from ukraine and york by dawn bus and then we should not also forget about crimea which also has to be the organ part but despite all the difficult this we remain committed to making progress and coming up with initiatives which will help us to achieve the goal. How exactly do you plan on achieving that goal how far is ukraine willing to go in order to achieve peace with russia because you have on the one hand russia for example demanding ukraine surrender part of its sovereignty over donbass essentially giving russia control over the region we will Never Surrender control sobering control over the us or over crimea and it doesnt matter how much time it will take us but we will deal could buy those territories and reintegrate them into ukraine how would you do that we yes we have already come up with some initiatives within the Trilateral Contact Group where Ukraine Russia and we always see you see together to make compromises and to achieve progress we suggests to russia a very simple solution that we will never cross our red line which is sort of sovereignty and control over border and immature and we are ready to negotiate the special status of those regions within ukraine without the providing them with the right to have a veto on any a National Wide decisions but ultimately thats a red line that russia just simply is not buying at this point so today you know in order to push forward diplomatic efforts you met with your german counterpart heikal mosse in order to lay the groundwork for the next meeting between the president s of russia and ukraine does diplomacy still have a chance well you are asking a diplomat of course i believe the diplomacy dos have a chance and we will take efforts to take the opportunity and take the chance to achieve the goal it is a difficult exercise because its difficult stored negotiated with russia but with such a partner is germany and particularly minister. Who has demonstrated a very clear commitment to facilitating the process we hope on making the progress and achieving the goal. We know that Ukraine Russia agreed a comprehensive cease fire last year has not been achieved. Our International Peacekeepers at this point needed to make a lasting cease fire happen. While you are absolutely right unfortunately all cease fires failed because of the violations coming from the other side and we have to respond to the fire to defend the lives of our soldiers and civilians we still have peacekeepers as an option but let me put it this way its in the pocket now we are ready to take it out if we see the all remedies are exhausted id like to ask you about the state of your alliances right now youre here in germany meeting with the German Foreign minister youve also mentioned that one of your key ally and says has been with the United States which has been quite instrumental in supporting you and thats this conflict theres been controversy in the past year over the freezing of aid to ukraine from the United States how concerned are you about that alliance especially with all of the on rest in the United States right now. Well the issue was the military aid has been successfully resolved moreover pentago in the recently issued another document certifying that ukraine met all craik you had to receive the next part of the assistance and we will forward to receiving it we understand the United States are currently in a difficult situation and we support american democracy will hold all these issues will be. Left behind within the framework of american standards for human rights and democratic governance and im absolutely confident that the partnership between ukraine and the United States cannot be shattered to me choke on that optimistic note thank you so much for joining us here on the mentioned you are the foreign minister of ukraine visiting berlin today. While it is all about thinking big investing billions to curb the coronavirus recession today the German Government is set to decide on its biggest economic stimulus package in the countrys history it will be passed tomorrow the playout up to 80000000000 euros to crank up the economy. When it comes to children it seems finance minister all of shots has a big heart he wants to grant families 300. 00 euros per child a total of 6000000000. 00 euros to improve their buying power. Alongside families the government wants to help companies particularly affected by the pandemic its planning to cut electricity costs and taxes there are billions for Infrastructure Development and some controversial incentives for car buyers. Right now there lee anyone is buying a new car in germany and that on top of the fact that the core industry is already going through a difficult transition to electro mobility both come a cause and unions hope the purchase premiums or give the sector a much needed boost government representatives say theyve allocated 5000000000 euros for the bonuses anyone buying an electric car will get a 1500 euros state subsidy the french government meanwhile is being rather more generous from monday new car buyers can expect up to 7000 euros in incentives for new ecards the french Auto Industry employs 400000 people as opposed 2800000 in germany nonetheless according to the latest surveys most germans say theyre against the purchase premium. And we are joined now by lars feld the chairman of the German Council of Economic Experts welcome to the program and thanks for joining us it looks like premiums for german car buyers are coming is that the right move. Good afternoon i dont think its the right move i think that we should not have any cash for clunker schemes and the car cream you know it all you already have some for ecard us the only thing that could be done in that regard is just to increase the amount that is spent by the government but it doesnt help. Much to turn its form the economy towards the war climate. Climate adapted car. Cars that youre going to need what should the government be doing instead well usually you bring you think about. The possibilities to fight the recession you have to the 3 cheese or the government says the fortys such a program should be timely temporary targeted formative but you are in a kind of trade off regarding the permanent pervasive and predictable measures and above all there are some measures that can be targeted to the problem but can be pervasive overall so what needs to be done are takes measures that affect all of the firms that are in trouble at the moment what we are proposing in the German Council is a much much more generous last carry big board provision than we currently have and this would have all the people all the firms that currently have losses and had a profit in the past. He mentioned some firms that are in trouble i mean his are truly extraordinary times id there any other areas where you would like to see incentives from the government perhaps be on the carmakers. Well i would not say that there should be particular incentives for particular industries in the economy its much better to have a general instrument like as i said the last must carry break what provisions of course we should also think about possibilities to have further Public Investment because we are already realizing that order in the construction in the industry are going down and its very important to stabilize expectations. And thats something that also that a lot of german allies have been calling for for years in fact a large feld chairman of the German Council of Economic Experts thank you so much for joining us to share that view thank you. Well lets look at some other stories now which have been making news around the world russia will spend 72000000000. 00 to restore its economy following the coronavirus shutdown the country has been reeling from the collapse of oil prices the Prime Minister has briefed president Vladimir Putin about the program which will run over 2 years and boost employment salaries and economic growth. The u. S. Ambassador to germany Richard Grenell has resigned court now where people they clashed with german politicians during his tenure and berlin German Companies that wanted to continue trading with iran were openly threatened with consequences most recently gore now saying the u. S. Pressure on germany will not let up in the future. El salvador is dealing with widespread damage after a fierce storms swept in from the civic over the weekend leaving many homeless 18 people were killed 7 more are still missing the president has declared a state of emergency. The democratic republic of congo has reported new cases of the deadly a bowl of virus and declared a new epidemic the Health Ministry says that 4 people have died in the northwest of the country just as it was poised to declare the latest outbreak over it comes as the country battles the coronavirus with over 3000. 00 confirmed cases. Central and south america have become the intense and zones for covert 1900 transmission according to the World Health Organization the biggest rise in case loads is now coming from brazil colombia chile peru mexico haiti argentina and bolivia. But Health Care Workers across the region say that they do not have access to adequate personal protective equipment many of them report that to save lives they have to risk their all our latin america correspondent a call for alicia has this report from colombia. This is what a medical professional dealing with covert 19 should look like but most Health Care Workers across latin america can only dream about having access to this sort of equipment. Publicly hailed as the heroes of the pandemic front line Health Care Workers in many countries like here in peru are protesting against a lack of personal protective equipment in bolivia and mexico as well Health Care Professionals have denounced what they see as systemic violations to their right to safe and healthy working conditions. We are asked to reuse our uniforms to sell them from cloth they want us to wash or reuse r n 95. 00 masks after several of our colleagues have become infected and even died we want the authorities to listen we want to quit ment so we can work. For our farm in colombia the rising worldwide demand and a decentralized privately Administrative Health care sector have caused grief shortages and an attempt to cash in on the crisis medical supply stores have started popping up in the capital. From full body suits to surgical gloves a seemingly endless stock of much needed equipment but theres a catch. Even though protective gear can be purchased quite easily here and columbia adequate masks are expensive and often fake like this one but for many medical professionals entering this dangerous bargain is the only shot they have at finding at least some kind of protection. Mariana treats patients in bogata to protect her little son from the virus she moved out of the family home 2 months ago and to protect herself from exposure at work she tried to take matters into her own hands. We received a private donation of n 95. 00 masks and some face shields then we took it upon ourselves to buy protective overalls. But we werent allowed to use this equipment at the hospital. Administration told us that we were only authorized to use what they provided for us. At the time that was merely a conventional mask. I was then reprimanded by my superiors it wasnt a big deal but it made me very sad to see that on top of them not guaranteeing our safety they cause problems when we try to take care of ourselves. Lack of protection in colombia is especially problematic because of an idiosyncrasy in the countrys Health Care System and who are you an aggravating factor were seeing a lot more of here in colombia than in other countries is that Health Care Workers are usually employed in more than one hospital between 40 and 60 percent of them work in 3 facilities they travel back and forth between them and that makes the handling of a pandemic with the kind of transmission rate were currently seeing very difficult. To ensure protection of exposed Health Care Workers a judge in columbia recently ruled in favor of a group of doctors who sued the Health Ministry now all hospitals are obliged to provide adequate equipment for their staff but for the over 1000 medical professionals in the country who have already contracted the virus that decision comes too late. Now people across japan got a treat last night with simultaneous fireworks displays to lift the mood in the coronavirus lock down this was a display in tokyo one of many throughout the country. The locations were kept secret to stop people gathering at the launch sites but the displays lasted long enough for people to watch windows or from balconies organizers say that they wanted to bring light to the skies.
