Good afternoon live from Arts Internationals world news age queue in moscow is kevin owen here for the next half hour with the latest for you the start of this new video has been released by the family attorney for george floyd whose death sparked 3 weeks of unrest around the world it shows horrified bystanders pleaded with an officer to intervene as he stands stone faced while derek show the press his his knee on floyds neck word of warning the video about show you is distressing. Oh yeah you know move no more you. Know 3 meaning you know you learn you. Talk about. Grow you know you moving you dont. Grow like you know movie. Meantime the autopsy of a black man fatally shot by police in the u. S. City of atlanta on friday has confirmed his death is homicide 27 year old brooks failed a roadside breath test officers say he then resisted arrest grabbing and officers tasered before attempting to flee after pointing it at one of the officers then he was shot twice in the back and died later in hospital distressing video of that incident which are about to show you was captured on police body cameras. Very you. Are not reading a few threads i see what kind of drinks did yeah. Im not sure some c. Order is on i think youve had too much the trying to be dried as much as one of echoing. Questions about. I dont know how it felt by. The death of ratio brookss further inflame the country already the riven by civil strife following the murder of george floyd protest a said flood the restaurant may well brooks was killed the mayor of atlanta the latest said the officer who pulled the trigger had been sacked while the other who was there has been suspended the citys police chief is also stepped out of a decision will be made later this week on whether or not to bring charges against the offices an attorney on the case told us what he thinks is likely to happen next. People are going to try to argue on both sides but georgia law is quite clear you cannot use lethal force in response to nonlethal force d so i think that both salsas will be charged with murder and weve had conversations with the District Attorney in this case and hes opened an independent investigation separate and apart from the Georgia Bureau of investigation and people need to understand that Law Enforcement is not the law in georgia the law in georgia happens in courtrooms you can not use. Non you cannot use lethal force to match non lethal force there is a case of tennessee versus gardner United States free in court cases stands for their opposition so i think that this case is going to end up in the superior court of johnny with murder charges against those officers. The race riots may be rooted in the problems of 2020 but its also forcing the United States to face up to his past history to with protesters targeting statues to prominent American Civil War figures who are indelibly linked to slavery kellam open looks at how a century and a half later those bits of wounds are refusing to heal. The. U. S. Civil war ended over 150 years ago at least officially but the confederacy went on to fight another day on the cultural front its flag and historical figures have become an essential part of Many Americans identity but it seems the time has come for its last stand can you imagine Jefferson Davis alexander stephens. Treason. Against the United States and the statue i feel here because their state put him here robert e. Lee Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stevens actually have statues within the u. S. Capitol building but now the call is coming for those statues to finally be removed 150 years later the possibility has never been so real confederate statues in monuments to pay tribute to White Supremacy and slavery and public spaces it is time to tell the truth about what these statues are hateful symbols that have no place in our society and certainly should not be enshrined in the u. S. Capitol the Confederate Flag is a symbol that many southerners as well as even low income whites in other parts of the country have come to identify with but now the declaration is coming from the halls of power saying that its time for this to come to an end the u. S. Military with the backing of the u. S. Senate is talking about changing the name of bases named after confederates this does not sit well with the president it has been suggested that we should rename as many as 10 of all legendary military bases my administration will look to even consider the renaming of these magnificent and fabled military installations as the most diverse and integrated part of American Society it is only right that installations bear the names of military heroes who represent the best ideals of our republic all across the country confederate monuments are being beheaded toppled and theres a friendly map to help you plan your next target nascar has banned the displaying of Confederate Flags at the racetrack the presence of the Confederate Flag at nascar events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our fans our competitors and our industry the display of the Confederate Flag will be prohibited from all nascar events and properties a film that has long been considered to be a classic of American Cinema is now. No longer available on h. B. O. Max with the way of Life Captured the imagination and acclaim of the entire world. The confederacy was defeated in 865 Us Constitution outlaws the practice of slavery due to an amendment furthermore robert e. Lees ranch has been converted into Arlington National cemetery so why are Americans Still clashing over a war that ended over 150 years ago i understand what many people who are pessimistic about the future of the United States of america because this is a war is not with him it is continuing under a different guise and it would not be outlandish to suggest that the opponents of tearing down these statues objective or pushing who are kind of 2nd class 3rd class citizenship if that were black americans in for any people not defined as white and as long as that kind of permission is idiology persist there will be a simmering civil war in the United States of america as we saw in charlottesville 2 years ago and elsewhere in other parts of the country Many Americans have a strong emotional attachment to these confederate symbols and theyre willing to fight that with one side being branded as nazis and the other side being branded as domestic terrorists civil tensions are high at this point theyre set to flare up even further as the war against honoring the confederacy rolls on a limb up and r. T. New york. Divisive monuments are all sort of scrutiny in europe to what were supposed to be lost in tribute to historys great and the good now as seen by many as tormenting symbols of a racist past case in point this on saturday a statue of right wing Italian Journalist in drew wanted nelly was to face in a land park the monument was smeared with red paint and tagged with the words racist and rapist the back story well back in the 1930 s. Monson nearly bought and married a 12 Year Old Girl from eritrea which he later justified his local tradition theres now a chorus of calls them to get his statue removed saying it serves only to represent colonial abuses with more on europe soul searching at the moment here is peter oliver. The killing of george floyd by u. S. Police has sparked outrage around the world with some of the anger being vented at statues and monuments deemed to be symbols of reus as a god. While in germany large black lives massive demonstrations have being Peaceful Affairs here on didnt neighboring switzerland there are calls for the renaming of streets pharmacies and even cakes chain to racially insensitive names swiss supermarkets a currently reviewing whether to stalk more and cup and more in cancun dock Chocolate Sweet treats that take the name from the would mourn. In english its a new used in the past for people from North West Africa if the mirror and cold fades such a big problem then weve forgotten something much more important i look at africa and see a continent with the most Natural Resources but which is poor because we choose africa every day everything that is bad we have done that goes back hundreds of years and now we have the delusion that changing the name of the chocolate will solve the problem thats beyond my comprehension the largest Supermarket Chain in switzerland has already decided to pull the product. We decided to remove the product from the range the current to be here has prompted us to reassess the situation we are aware that this decision will also lead to discussions pharmacies being called more an architect has been a target for until racism camping is in german speaking countries for a while now it used to mean that the pharmacy stopped alternative medicines from the east and here slap bang in the center of berlin is more than strasser renaming this street is a priority for a song to say the word morning should be struck from the lexicon thats why i immediately said m. Street its just like the n. Word its just as a bird only there are 2 different names but theyre the same last week the underground station here was temporarily renamed george floyd strasser a permanent name change though may not be forthcoming the street names are always associated with personal memories with a feeling of home the street name can be as creepy as it once the emotional connection to a place predominates street names are not the property of the residents George Floyds killing happened over 7000 kilometers away in minnesota but the aftershocks and implications for how to deal with a past that doesnt leave up to todays standards are being felt far and wide peter all over r. T. Theres no show it is a 4 for lives Martha Movement right now but perhaps not all of it is genuine later were going to hear claims that social media influences leaping on board only so they can boost their own online popularity. But not before weve talked about this the french president has declared the countrys 1st victory over the coronavirus in a televised address on sunday in the new mccrone described france as a green zone meaning the authorities have the virus under control but he emphasized the fight is far from over more now from our paris correspondent charlotte do bensky. Another address from president ma korn many claimed was an attempt to Gain Momentum as we head into the president ial elections in 2 years time i mean 2022 but this was the 1st time that he addressed the divisiveness in the nation at the moment is these protests in the wake of to which points that the United States have also been hitting hard fronts with racism protests in anti police in tallaght still maku said that divisiveness was rife in the country but he said the funds would stand up to racism antisemitism but he said in the wake of those fools across the world that used to be removed the streets to be renamed the fronts would not be rewriting its history. Or the republic any trace or any name from its history she will not forget any of its must to pieces will not demolish any statute we must look together at all our history our relationship with africa and never revisit or deny who we are all this of course comes on the back of an Unprecedented Health crisis with 19 and the feet ship president said khan to be built unless the country moves on from the shambles that it is in at the moment and thats largely in reference to the protests weve seen which made for the large part of being normal violent but they have descended into parts into clashes between the police and protesters particularly again all over the weekend when police dont protest is marching down the street. I. Mean. The president faculty. There is more at stake not only just the face of president ial elections which it is time for the sea weeks time there are also this apology elections here in france we look to latest results of the big 90 and damage these parties on the move is expected to receive a severe pasting things like shouldnt we also know the present backwards party has lost its absolute majority in the parliament with defections over the past few weeks and he himself who saw his opinion polls to stop at the beginning of the crisis with how he was handling it have seen them come back down to earth with a bump more recently and despite pledging new tax increases as a result of this crisis and the reevaluation of the pay of medical staff we know that the government is facing many questions in the way that it handled the crisis with dozens and dozens of the receipts and best using the government of negligence said were still using it all man suit france is also looking forward to many say to the worst recession its experienced in the 2nd or so mark posing bops days of hiding up that divisiveness here france continues that his words last night that france was about to experience this summer like no rather maybe exactly the same. Good afternoon for russia this is Arts International with me kevin i was at the moment coming up a cluster of new coronavirus cases in china nearly a dozen districts in beijing a lockdown as 2nd wave 3 is mobile talk about it so those were bad. You cant be both with the yeah you look. At one else chose seemed wrong all right old rules just dont hold. Me to old beliefs yet to shape out just because to educate and in gaining strength equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Give her get her china sort of talking about this is new in the form of u. S. Marine paul whelan has been found guilty of espionage and senses to 16 years prison following a trial that Moscow City Court the now of cyprus is trying to. Take this further going to. Trial full. Kevin good afternoon well all i can tell you about some of. Have forgotten about this case for a little while but just as moscow was recovering and just how the citys hands were being on after the divorce law. Case and the trial was coming to an end like you said the court handed down a sentence of 16 years for spying i know that the prosecution was demanding 18 years in prison but this is what weve got now paul whelan who is by the way the citizen of 4 countries was caught red handed as the russian authorities put it in late 28 seeing just before new years eve when he was receiving a flash drive from a russian acquaintance which is believed. To it was believed that it had some classified material on it and like i said paul whelan is a holder of 4 passports but obviously for the reasons that we all understand the focus of what this verdict is going to do to the relations of russia and the us is the main case here and thats why i clearly america. For of was here today to support mr whelan and just when he came out of the building this is what he said. To me to tell. Me. That he had absolute. Right. If youre going to stop us from talking. So this was a bit of optimism from bassett or sullivan for when it comes to the effects of this case on moscow washington but i can tell you that the number one american diplomat. Only a few days ago was speaking in this in the same sentence pretty much about this case and also what is a well is doing to us citizens so this is clearly a signal that this means that the u. S. Government is treating this case very seriously and all the American Government wants in this case is the release of paul whelan heres what exactly might compel said. We also call on russia to do the same for paul whelan who needs to be released now. But heres also another scenario that is possible and i can tell you that there is a possibility that this verdict could lead to an agreement between the 2 countries because very often these kind of situations lead to prisoner exchanges between russia and the u. S. And we know that there is a number of russian citizens that are being held of in u. S. Jails and we already heard from russian authorities a state duma representative that russia could be interested in this kind of prison swap and any case mr whelan has been saying for a while and once again today he said that he believes hes completely innocent and that this case. It is. Political and this is what his brother said a bit earlier. As the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said frequently they only discuss the release of prisoners in cases where the person has been convicted we hope that the u. S. Government on the Russian Federation will begin discussing polls released immediately now that there will no longer be any procedural impediments. In any case once again this monday we heard from the defense of former u. S. Marine dad they are going to appeal we will her hear about this trial about this case once again in the next 10 days you know shell have all rows occasions to see what americas americas got to say about it if theres any more coming through in the coming hours let us know in. Moscow city court thank you. Now 1st soarin for china chinas lot dont care no more neighborhoods in beijing to contain a new corona Virus Outbreak linked to a food market in the capital chinese Officials Say the new cases were found at a 2nd food market where several employees tested positive its reported that theyre all linked to a market where an outbreak was registered last week that was subsequently shut down on saturday tens of thousands of nearby residents are now being tested the country see the spike in numbers after many weeks of reporting small numbers of new cases its now registering dozens of new infections for the 2nd day in a row i spoke to professor Benjamin Chow from chinas Southwestern University of finance and economics who thinks the country is responding swiftly and correctly right now. I think beijing is very good this time being. In the measurements 80000 samples have been in just one day on sunday we posit and then more than. 6000 workers at a market nearly 7 percent of them happy past it and good news all week. So i think. The safest place way now and almost in china i think people are confident about the procedure is. The way right now there are no new cases that a lot of new cases. Theyre isolated spreading out in this. Funny from the Russian Support for the Matter Campaign in the current climate to see big names race to show their solidarity while some major brands and celebrities are in it to make change theres also suspicion of the motives behind some social media influences taylor looks at how some seemed more concerned about their own reputations than equal rights of the day. Currier virus caused a serious content crisis the social media says i mean they couldnt exactly pose videos themselves you know the whole rally and snuffing food like the rest of us so when the b. S. That protests started sweeping took a while you could always hear those influences rushing to charge up their phones finally someone you fucked up for that followers know your. Name were horrified to find that the one painting with as many like notifications as theyd expect it apparently came as a real surprise that this one of the biggest civil rights uprisings in decades was not about them type shocking but some brave ones continue to value the posing in front of the new to the shop was just perfect for their septic never mind it business as a baby disorder people were dying just believes that out of the caption were going to see if the.
