Anchor new York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order requiring hundreds oce departments across the state to implement a series of reforms to address the use of, for police bias and other issues that have triggered widespread tstiracism prot mr. Cuomo said apartments must reinvent and modernize to battle systemic racism and qualify for mr. Cuomo if there is tost, police cannot effectively police. If there is no trust the community will not allow the police to police. There is no trust. A or, there ieach of the trust, and that has to be restor the only way to do it is to get to the table, let everyoneec say their and lets figure it out, community by community, acroch the state. lets speak to mark griffith, director of the ooklyn Movement Center and longtime proponent of police reform. Whou make of these reforms . Mark i am mostly happy. We have been fighting for some of these for a long time. When i say we, i mean the Movement Center for police reform, a coition of groups from throughout new york city that have come togethe have been fighting for these for this is happening now because the political moment isig and another governor has political cover. We are happy. We have been fighting for twos pa that legislation he announced. I dont want to disparage the progress we have made, only to say, a lot more has to be done. When we talk about changing what the Police Department looks like andbl how it treatk and brown people in this city and in this country, we recognize this is just the tip of the iceberg these are small measures in what has to be a longterm aysmantling of the policing system we know t anchor andrew cuomohealked about battle to fight systemic racism within the police force. He saidve they o do that to qualify for state funding. There are p measures wherice forces will have to prove they have changed, one thing . Mark wont they . Mark so he says. Hedo not thinkar will be that hig it never has been for Police Departments in thisry. Usually the police deiartments and unions get to dictate what the terms of the conversation are. What you are seeing in this country is, for the first time, some chaenging of the way we have looked at policing this country, and this assumption that what need as far as Public Safety is more police, more law order, ando recognition that can contribute to unsafe streets, violence, and death and destruction of black and brown people. Anchor andrew cuomo recognizes the breach of strict reach of trust. Breach of trust. He has made this gesture, said what do you want to see happen . Mark so much more. What we are talking about in new york city is defunding new york city police. We are talking about taking 1 billion away from thebi ion bloated budget and putting it towards ograms and restorative measures and initiatives in new york city that will actually keep us safe, protect us,eep us healthy, and be doing the job police are often asked to do, do. Haveo business trying to that is one thing immediately on the horizon. As we go forward, the list of reforms and needs are too many to mention. I would say what we are trying to do is make sure our Police Departments are strong, Police Departments are strong,an we realign resources and values toward keeping the neighborhood safe in ways that do not necessarily include police.

There are different impacts in different populations. Overall, the Health System is l coping in brazil. Anchor om dr. Is an associate professor in pennsylvia and has been following the brazilian figures closely. Thank you for being with us. I just read out a list of things happening in brazil, not least, their president is being obstructive, some wouldtr say, n ng to sort out the situation. In your view, what has gone wrong there . Dr. Gomez lack of political commitment and National Public ntcommito solving the situation. You have a president who has not seen the coronavirus as serious. Similar to what we saw with tron, he saw it as a flu, something not trump, he saw it as a flu. There were disagreements over social distancing. The next one resigned over disagreements about medicine being used. The Current Health minister does not have any medical scientific background. He is a general from the military. He is showing gns he is not committed to listening to scientists. We think about dr. Fauci present in the trump and mintration. In the trump that has not happened in brazil. This administration has been agnst social distancing. The idea bolsonaro put forth, we need to save the economy. More people need to go back to normalcy, jobs. That h been the biggest problem. The lack of scice, lack of agreement with governors on returning to the economy, that has been complicating and worsening the situation anchor president bolsonaro has many supporters. Some believe he is right to prioritize the economy. Dr. Gomez heas a lot of supporters, a lot of conservatives. He has a greateal of support. He has not been popular in general. He still has a large following they do agree with them that the time has come to open up the economy. Anchor given we are eecting figures to show brazil has the secondhighest death toll in the world now what should he be doing to try and bring this under control . Or is it perhaps too late . Dr. Gomez the priority to workith the governors, encouraging people to stay home. Brazil is entering a winter more people will be staying home, but the virus will be spreading more. It is critical he works with the governors, encouraging people to stayathome, wear masks. He has gone out in public without wearing a mask,uro provide res for the underfunded service. Loof hospitals, especially in rural, areed ventilators, beds, staff working areas. These are the critical things the president nisds to do at ime. Anchor thank you for your thoughts. In the u. K. The Sun Newspaper said it didot mean torify domestic ase after criticism for public publishing an interview in which the former president of j. K. Rowling defends abusing the author. They call the decision to publish the interview dangerous and irresponsible. The sun said, we branded him sick and unrepentant in our coverage. It was not our intention to enable or glorify spousal abuse, it was to expose perpetrators total lackf remorse. Our sympathies are always with the victims. The sun has campaigned against domestic violence, provisang a fe place for women and children to escape violence, as well as getting laws cnged. The statement goes on, over the years and with supportive darities, we have empowe victims to come forward and seek help. Lets talk to the Victims Commission of england and wales. What did you make of that headline . The headline is lost in the morass of obfuscation of the sun i slept j. K. A tiny paragraph says sick by rowlings ex. If the sun really wants to point a fingernd call people out for bad behavior, it has not done it today. What it has done instead is to amplify, if not promote, the lack of concern. It is saying, i am not sorry,esi ot matter, Domestic Abuse is not an important matter. That is extremely worrying that the sun thought there w population in the u. K. That woulagree with that. Anchor there are some who would argue that putting this on the front page and exposing it shows this person perhaps what they are andhe highlightsssue of domestic violence. Is there any part of that you would agree with . I dont think so. The real problem is, it is amplifying this guys view that it really does not matter. How is this going to affect, this time of all times, when Domestic Abuse charities are inundated with concerns, complaints, pleas for help by people who are locked down literally with their abuser 24 hours a day, and they will escalate, as abuse does, when it is ccentrated, and as we well, know when the u. K. There are two women a week kill by abusers. What it hashe done is putin a position where they think a man who knocks about a quite important, wellknown woman, can just say, it really doesnt matter. It is going to make them feel that they have no help, they have nowhere to go. Victims are not helpless. They have to manage the bavior of their perpetrator to protect themselves against more abuse, and perhaps their children. They will ove a boxtools to keep out of that persons way. They will do what the person says. They will also be ablst to say, the time you acted like thisl, it is unlawt is wrong. And now he has a way of saying, this guys saying and it is on the front page of the sun, it is ok, carry on. Anchor do you think the newspaper should give him the right to reply, given how famous j. K. Rowling i how should they handle it differently . I am afraid i cannot see that this ia right of reply. She said he had abused her and he agrees that he abused her. In fact, you read the story and it goes further than a slato she appearav gotten worried concern, frighted of his behavior and tried to leave and take the baby. He wou not let her take the child and he threw her out of the house and slapped her hard at 5 00 in the mning, saying she could come back for the baby the next day. It is extremely harsh and cruel orbehaound to have happened. I do not think a reply comes into it. All he is doing is saying, a man itcanis wife, what does it matter . This is terrifying to a victim who would want some h in addition, d the westic abuse happens, it is exerting its about psychological abuse, emotional abuse,ti p people down, telling them they are not important, telling them imp they in, no one will believe them, because he is the head of the family, he is a nice person and they are a complete warm. I am afraid worm. Msam afraid that just conf this view. A dangerous situation we are in during lockdr victims of abuse cannot be improved by this. It can only have been made worse. How could it have been handled differently . If the the su wanted to make clear they fou him reprehensible, why didnt they put in the headlines, shameful, or you should be ashamed of yourself . Chor they would say they have expressed that in their statement since the paper came out. Thank you for your thoughts and being with us. Thank you.
