Link to a food market. One minute past 9 am and also well a leaven pm in melbourne on 4 in the afternoon right here in moscow this month the june 15th my names you know no meal hello and welcome new video has been released by the family attorney for george floyd who used. To run the world it shows horrified bystanders pleading with an officer to intervene stone faced while. Presses his knee on floyds neck a word of warning the video we are about to show you is distressing. Bro you have now moved no one. No 3 meaning you know you know how do you you. Know i.

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 officers 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. People need to understand that Law Enforcement is not the law in georgia the law in georgia happens in courtrooms you can not use. Lead non you cannot use lethal force to match nonlethal force there is a case of tennessee versus gardner United StatesSupreme Court case stands for the proposition so i think that this case is going to end up in a superior court of Fulton County with murder charges against both officers.

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.

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 are pessimistic about the future of the United States of america because this civil war has not really in it is continuing under a different guise and it would not be outlandish to suggest that the opponents of tearing down these statues objectively or pushing for 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 back 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 elm up and r.

The french president has the clear the countrys 1st victory over coronavirus in a televised address on sunday money will mccrone the scribe france as a green zone meaning the authorities have the virus under control but he emphasized that the fight is not over more now from our partners correspondent charlotte ivins. Another address from president ma korn many claims is 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 george lloyds death the United States have also been hitting hard fronts with anti racism protests in Anti Police Brutality protests 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 pools across the world to stop jews to be removed the streets to be renamed the france would not be rewriting its history the hyperbolic myth. The republic any trace or any name from its history she will not forget any of its must to pieces will not demolish any statues we must look together at all our history our relationship with africa and never revisit or deny who we are well this of course comes on the back of an Unprecedented Health crisis with 19 and the future president said current be billed unless the country moves on from the shambles that its in at the moment and thats largely in reference to the protests weve seen which made for the large part of being known violent but they have descended in parts into clashes between the police and protesters particularly again all over the weekend when police dont protest is for marching down the street. I. Think. The press. Mcentee there is more at stake not only does he face the president ial elections wishing she is time but in the weeks time theyre all simply this apology elections here in france which would delay just result of the code that 19 pandemic hes party on the move is expected to receive a severe pasting even though its elections 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 no tax increases as a result of this crisis the reevaluation over the pay of medical stuff we know that the government is facing many questions in the way that it handled the crisis with dozens and dozens of lucys best excusing the government of negligence said were still using it old man suit france is also looking forward to many say to the worst recession its experiencing is the 2nd or so mark pools in golf season hiding up and the fact is boy sickness here in france continues that his words last night that france was about to experience this summer like no other may be exactly what well see. A former American Marines being jailed by a Russian Court for spying drawing a furious reaction from washington as our t. V. Reports after the break. And when else should seem wrong why dont we just dont call. It you little bit you get to shape out these days. Comes out to. Equal betrayal. When so many. Choose to look for common ground. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Hello again former u. S. Marine paul whelan guilty of espionage and sentenced to 16 years prison and we have reports from outside Moscow City Court. Just as moscow hands are being taught after the coronavirus locked down the whole wheel and trial was coming to an end and it was time for the verdict on monday and the Moscow City Court handed down a 16 Year Prison Sentence the russian prosecutors wanted that to be 18 but 16 years behind bars it is for spying all well and the former u. S. Marine who is a citizen of 4 countries was caught red handed as the russian authorities put it in late 28 just before new years eve receiving a flash drive from a russian a quaintance that was as the russian with ortiz d say full of classified material paul whelan has 4 passports but clearly for all vs reasons the main focus is on what this verdict is going. Due to the russia u. S. Relations and the Us Ambassador mr sullivan was here to support paul whalen inside the Court Building and heres what he said when he came out to get. Me. That he had absolute. Right. Isnt going to stop us from. So this was a tiny bit of optimism from a basket or sullivan for when it comes to the report cautions when were talking about moscow washington relations but only a few days earlier the number one american diplomat was talking about how when is a well it treats u. S. Citizens in their country and right after this he mentioned the case of paul whelan it was pretty much in one sentence which is a clear signal of what the u. S. Governments attitude to this case is and all that the American Government wants in this case is the release of mr we we also call on russia to do the same for paul whelan who needs to be released now why do have to say though that what we heard from the judge in moscow could lead to an agreement between washington and moscow and a sense that these kind of situations very often lead to prisoner exchanges between the 2 countries and we do know that there is a number of russian citizens that are being held in u. S. Jails and the reaction from the russian side was very quick we already heard from one m. P. That russia is ready to start negotiations on this kind of prisoner swap anyway paul whelan himself has been saying that hes absolutely innocent we heard that from him once again just as the trial was being wrapped up he believes his case is purely political and today we heard that the risk going to be an appeal so definitely were going to hear one swore by. This trial in the next 10 days. In the rush of support for the black lives Matter Campaign in the current climate has seen big names race to show their solidarity while some major brands on celebrities are in a to pressure for change their suspicion over the motives behind some social Media Influencers here looks at how a number seem more concerned about their own reputations than equal rights.
