Good money for russia for the 5th june 2020 low for martys world news h. Q. Youre in moscow its kevin now in this hour take you through those headlines and some more details 1st days of anger and rage have turned to a silent tribute the 1st memorials been held for george floyd whose death at the hands of police has led us society to question its racial divide at a level not seen in years mourners stood for 8 minutes 46 seconds the time during which an officer knelt on georges neck ultimately choking him to death is family celebrities civil rights and political leaders gathered with heads bowed in front of his coffin its the 1st in a series of memorials planned in 3 cities over 6 days hundreds were outside the chapel too to pay their respects while inside the congregation were reminded why george is name is seminal for the country. What has been. Happening. Every day in this country in education in Health Services and in every area of American Life its sad for us to stand out in charges made and say kids should meet our 5. So the curfews have now been lifted in los angeles and Southern California for the still in place in new york thousands came out in cities across the country in mostly peaceful protests. In new york state a 75 year old man has been hospitalized after being aggressively shoved by a Police Officer causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground as youre about to see next. Week police who full riot gear were forcing the curfew when it happened to officers have since been suspended with pay the Police Departments version of events reported locally says the man tripped and fell only so. Well racism and Police Brutality at the heart of the unrest many agree that the catalyst has been poverty and economic inequality high profile protests against that have been simmering of course since the occupy wall Street Movement of merged nearly a decade ago mopin reports. City after city has erupted in anger and protest after the killing of george floyd it started with an unjust and tragic killing by police much like events in baltimore and ferguson however its pretty clear that now the protests have an economic component take a look at whats happening in soho there really hills and other high end shopping districts thanks. Guys on the militarized streets one chance has caught on tape all right thanks ok ok its got a familiar ring to it one can flashback 9 years to occupy wall street. Occupy wall street was about mass unemployment it was about bias among courts and Law Enforcement and a lack of accountability among the powerful in the United States economic inequality is hitting the Africanamerican Community harder than ever the rate of coded 1000. 00 infection among africanamericans is much higher on august billionaires have gotten through richer amid the pandemic the Unemployment Rate has risen to 20 percent and that disproportionately affects africanamericans not surprising that the sentiments of occupy wall street are pealing right now thank god for right right. Right. Was. Wrong. Thank you my thing was he was like out the right guy thanks to his wife the my decision was i i havent changed very much sense then my hair was certainly a lot longer and i was among the demonstrators taking it all in we need to design our own blueprint and we need to start implementing it in the streets parallels between the 2 movements one primarily. White the other primarily africanamerican cannot be overlooked if the similarities were not striking and now take a look at the fact that the george floyd protesters just had a standoff with the n. Y. P. D. With mass arrests taking place on a bridge connecting brooklyn and manhattan ah. Ok. The now to be fair the police are dealing with a lot more street fighting and looting than they did during occupy wall street but odowd the u. S. Was not 100 percent peaceful either and in both cases the response to the protesters has been pretty heavy handed repression. The. Fact that. We found out many things its like a movement and its a movement that if you dont put it down it will get worse and worse this is like occupy wall street it was a disaster in 21 day somebody said thats enough and they just went in and wiped them out and thats the last time we ever heard the name occupy wall street point of view of the of the government and the parties is a very obvious turn of events when people are beginning to focus on the neo liberal power configuration and the failure of the economy to be able to provide the basic human needs this is not just about george florida that of course was the trigger but thousands of people were in the streets in the streets because they have to see you to bet their lives flight george floored me look so theres a real anger in the population in the jungle people out there in the streets of the out there because theyre beginning to make certain connections in those connections that are way beyond anything called just is just for this one individual george for. Criticism of the policing of the demonstrations stretches right to the top where Donald Trumps now convinced is the protesters who are to blame but even one of his former top table team members has condemned the president for stoking division. Former defense secretary James Madison accusing President Trump of being a threat to the constitution in a remarkable and rare statement madison accuses trump of actively dividing the nation we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years without mature leadership says the general we can unite without him drawing on the strengths inherent in our Civil Society and it isnt just mattis over the past couple of days 2 former joint chiefs of staff have criticized the president s threat of using the military and overruling governors to put u. S. Military troops in American Cities rings so hollow to me when you have a secretary of defense and a general former general who essentially was carrying out a war that was never approved by congress that led to the deaths of millions of people across syria and who wanted to remain there and continue to fight wars in syria and across the middle east this is hardly a man of peace who is making these statements the mainstream corporate left in this car in this country you know always seems to forget you know i mean look of it theyre the ones we elevated david frum and the you know other neo con types from the Bush Administration just because they agreed with them and going after donald trump so though i hate anyone just that they can attack their opposition in this case donald trump and the republicans the republicans would do the same thing you know thats the problem with the 2 party system in this country is that they have very short memories when it comes to whos throwing stones and whos throwing bricks to essentially have our 2 parties at the same Foreign Policy view which is that any country around the world where we can bomb we probably should and its certainly the those countries in the middle east what rings hollow to me is that you have all these folks across the country right now who are talking about black lives matter and that in certainly they do but lives in other countries matter as well and what youre not going to hear any politician say is that peoples lives in iraq matter or in syria matter or in yemen that or they dont think that they get. Do you really believe that those peoples lives are truly spendable and because they are not consistent in that it demonstrates that they dont actually believe that black lives matter either they simply think it is political expedience to say so but i think of the late great comedian George Carlin one side the United States is very good at bombing brown people and clearly with the rise of black lives matter also very good of oppressing brown people here at home so i think everybody has to be very careful with what they say and what stones they throw in this thing especially generals who led charges in Foreign Countries abroad in the under the under the name of american empire. And the head of police is not just a problem in the us late so we report this morning from from some protests that are over violence at the hands of officers who come to this never brought to book its to come. With all of the message drilled into us about the threats of infection from the coronavirus last few months but the European Commission is coming in for criticism for classifying code 19 is a midlevel menace to workers only its all part of getting business is moving again as a europe correspondent peter all of the ripples. If you cast your mind spock just a few moments the main message coming out of the view is that the cautions with the number one priority here in europe we are heavily affected by the virus. The borders of the entrance of the European Union. Will be closed. Without a valid risen traveling in and out of the concrete. Or the risk level has risen from moderate to high for people in the European Union now top brass have made the decision to reclassify coronavirus as they made level threats now while that doesnt make the virus any less contagious what it does mean is in the eyes of the e. U. Commission the threat posed to workers by covert 19 is now categorized as not being very high the existence so absence of prophylaxis cannot be considered as a standalone criterion employers will still have to provide this stuff with a safe working environment when it comes to protective equipment and social distancing but the change in wording leaves business less open to legal action takes on the job faction the move comes as some employees in germany are already far from happy with the conditions they have to work it. Out that people came out and worked every day from the early dawn with no medical masks covering the amounts crammed down by skids sometimes they would give us that sometimes there would be c at the same time they were being insulted while in the field and treated. I dont know who is not even from the peaks they have their designated payouts for hungry furious. The socialist and Democrats Group in the European Parliament buying this move by the u. Commission we strongly oppose a decision by the commission to classify code 19 only as a midlevel hazard could be 1000 is the biggest help talent of our lifetime amy pease may well overturn the move when its put to a vote in parliament the European Commission insists that theyve made the right decision after consulting with scientists at the World Health Organization but that doesnt fly with the latest messaging from the w. H. O. When it comes to the seriousness of the risk the e. U. Labels this a level 3 virus meaning there is usually effective prevention or treatment available while the w. H. O. Believes there is no cure in the forseeable future or drugs either as of now and theres no evidence that any drug actually reduces the mortality in patients who have called it 19 and in fact its an argent priority for all of us to do the needed studies to do that under my skin include trials births even the president of the European Council they said the decision how does much to do with the economy as it ever had to do with Health Everything should be done to reach an agreement before the summer break our citizens and businesses have been heavily impacted by the pandemic really targeted relief. The European Union has taken a pounding from the coronavirus and tens of thousands of families of hearts of barry loved ones ultimately this comes down to finding that point where by saving the economy from an irreversible decline always concerns over public health. In my opinion there is no so. Thing is what the European Community says is the medium level threat of the virus nobody can say so we dont know this wireless its been 6 months we dont know the behavior of this wireless its contagion how develops and we dont have a treatment for it either as search this is a political and financial measure more than anything the you commission has labeled it a 3rd Category Management which is to say low dangerous i have doubts about it time will tell the heat and the quarantine measures imposed in each country have led to a certain overall improvement and this by the senator and conditions of peach country at any moment complications main merge and the tide will turn. The grounding of flights and closed borders worldwide the pandemic appears we have an unfortunate side effect were going to talk about next the lives of patients awaiting transplant surgery at risk because organs cant be delivered dont registrys a try a lot of find work and. For many even 2 months im in the loop flying all the time coming and going all around the world. Is a museum for transplants around the world im going to close my wife at places that dont allow entry to foreigners buying council problems. Because normally deliveries like this a part of a well established system involving public and private providers but many transplant centers know having to take extraordinary measures some resorting to military support to organize flights and drop of points now the director of an israeli Health Organization offering jewish bone Marrow Donation says its literally a matter of life or death that they get their deliveries through on time. One in so you cant wait we did product indefinitely if they cancel flights and there is no flight if its us or argentina or south america the product will go to waste nothing will be done with it product isnt whats important here the patient who is receiving it is important that petion who doesnt receive all die he goes through crap that destroys his bone marrow and he must receive didnt you bone marrow if he doesnt he die and thats why were so stressed to reach the patients on time. In april an International Team of scientists reported on the devastating effect of pandemics having on transplants worldwide saying that in just a month Organ Donation in france had all but ceased theres been a 50 percent drop in the United States where Charities Say the lockdowns of a Transformative Impact on their work. Weve all been challenges over the last couple of months in transplantation its really critical of the organs you know that you know time manners organs only last outside the body or you know certain periods arent i think the providers definitely has changed in the way in which we work in our great are and so yes and slow down diminishment transplant for good 6 to 8 weeks we think some of the lessons weve learned could help us in the future not only the nation transformed and schimmel the strengths and from what weve learned over the last. Thanks what she has this morning or if you choose and run the worlds kevin 0 in here coming up on our i report from norway after the break amongst others where locals on an island that became known around the world for an awful terrorist massacre back in 2011 so new memorial to the victims will be a daily haunting reminder of what went on there in the horror of it rather than a fitting tribute to the lost lives. Join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and obviously going to guest of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see you there. In norway who morial 2 terrorism victims is expected to open next year on the 10th anniversary of the far right atrocity there but theres been fierce disputes over the last 3 years over it with locals calling the memorial invasive saying it will only reopen old wounds. Yes and its outrage shame that norwegian government still struggle. At least virus extra strong to get a rational hour ago. And there was a great resistance among the local people is it was specially mostly live close the kids who are afraid that the memorial will bring an ongoing reminder of the tragedy just imagine that this will be a place for the whole world to cheneys people glory and people and russians will be coming here at the beginning all the tourists came to us every time i was away tourists formed in our garden abel got strat and now its starting again i. Think i think that the decision is you know actually made by the state the neighbors opinion has not been heard at all. Were now talking about making the memorial site smaller less making more people that i dont want to make a mark up to the whole point of memorials are. People who dont want to remember to remember every single day this happened i have missed out on in their neighborhood. This. Is just not a pressing issue thats just not a big enough argument to should be accessible anything should be already remember its. Part of our sense of joy. Yemeni journalists he was often a contributor for arties ruptly video agencys been killed near his home near the stricken port city of aden he was gunned down in whats been described as a planned assassination now her son of quade t. Who was 34 leaves a wife and 3 children is widow is expecting their 4th child to he was a finalist for britains rory peck award in 2016 for covering the long standing war in yemen is some of the video he filmed once surviving a drone attack. This is the exact moment that drone attack happened now bill bradley faced similar challenges and threats during his work over the years and helped to bring a better understanding of things yemeni conflict in the international community. Thousands turned out to mourn him saying prayers and cheering to celebrate his life as they carried his coffin to his funeral whos now been buried in aden the head of the u. S. And u. K. To culture agencies also pay tribute. I condemn the murder of newbill has. Brave reporters like nibiru her son carry out important work keeping people in the amman informed and documenting the extreme conditions their country is experiencing they must be offered every possible protection. In France Police are reportedly teargassed a 2000 strong rally against Police Violence in the city of little the countries joining in the Global Reaction to Police Violence sparked by George Floyds killing the french have similar stories to tell and say office is going on punish the sheller do bensky reports next. With riots in the u. S. And disco tearing fronts over racism within the police the french government is vowing to throw the book at any officer who exhibits the slightest sign of racism. We have to ensure that every fault and there can be something every excess every word including racist expressions is investigated. Punished and im uncompromising on this subject because the requirements we have for Police Officers who are wrong is precisely to get into the serenity of the work of the entire police force. Cleared you think the middle class that thats the law i think fuel to the fire is this video showing you seeing a following in arrest in paris that many have likened to what happened to to throw it in the u. S. Police in paris just speak the accusations saying it was a complicated arrest of an individual who was under the influence of drugs and alcohol the cry of no more has become much more vocal here in france over 20000 people were gathered here on tuesday to voice their anger over actions like this and also the death of a black man while in custody in 26 in a down the true horror a case his family say that is similar to george troy to take place fixation sparked days of violent protests. Just to be honest they were put in charge calm down took the weight of 3 policemen on him george floyd took the weight of 3 policemen on him they had the same words i cant breathe i cant breathe i called purines was the slogan many carried on plaque in the protest here which had been forbidden by the authorities try or his family disputes medical reports that have exonerated the officers involved in his arrest pointing to an independent report that they commissioned which states that like floyd dolly did this fixation the anger felt hey by protest as was clear and it wasnt long before that tension spilled over. The french government has been quick to react pointing out that france is not a racist country and shouldnt be compared to the us. There isnt institutionalized violence in our country i dont think we can say that there are incidents when there are at us committed by members of the police as the interior minister has always said there are investigations and when the sanctions want us are determined the government has also called for coleman keen to point out the protests drawer is death was planned for health and safety not political reasons the protesters say its time france woke up to its own unspoken legacy of the thieves and impunity because i think that if you want to say that the friendship to asia is not comparable to that of the United States all those you want to stifle the struggles of justice they are supporters of the system system those who do not want things to change conditions but those who want things to continue to have a place you want to know as has been the case for 14 years. Systemic impunity the police enjoying dormice when it comes to the inhabitants of working class neighborhoods for the. Rallies against racism and Police BrutalityColeman Place here but to see these protests with the city of thousands and thousands of people is considered by some to have been a watershed moment and the only get that was spilling out hasnt yet it seems being quelled show that deep in ski.
