Minute past 2 pm here in the russian capital june the 17th wherever youre tuning in from hello and welcome im going in the. Lets begin in france where nationwide rallies by Health Care Workers over the past 24 hours saw some ugly scenes tens of thousands turned to remind the government of its pledge to help medical stuff and support hospitals but as the day progressed the peaceful protests took a darker turn. Well just to some aspects of this video showing a nurse being injured during a Violent Arrest after a rally in paris sparked a furious reaction online its been reported that she was detained for throwing a jab. So to cumber operation marquis rounds were injured while filming some movie and wrist when people began throwing stones at police both receive treatment from medical workers who were out of robbing. John at least when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods the governments buck track gone completely bombing chokeholds after opposition from officers more enough now from charlotte to been scary. Front says interior minister promised 0 tolerance for racism among the forces a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and Police Brutality unleashed following the death of george floyd giving us great stuff kasten they even double down during his speech let me get up what you called method known as the strangulation method will be abandoned and will no longer be taught in Police Schools it was a method that had its dangers in addition if a Police Officer has to keep someone on the ground during their arrest they will now be prohibited from leaning on their hand or next protest is ok. Asked in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions describe the technique as essential. My colleagues chokehold which we call the takedown technique dont do it for the fun of it they do it because theyre dealing with a very individual who doesnt want to be taken down as union is demanding justice turned out to protest throwing their hand cuffs. On the butt of what are we not allowed to intervene in certain neighborhoods because we dont want the young people to rebel so we have to let a certain amount of delinquency go in certain neighborhoods and then were told that if we control them then were racist. How do we proceed with individuals who refuse to be arrested were under the fact of narcotics alcohol if they take away our working methods there will be possible anymore it all proved too much for the interior ministry its now made a u. Turn on the chokehold ban suspending it until a socalled alternative can be found now human rights organizations have stepped in. It is unfortunate that interior minister custom there reconsider his decision to abandon the practice of chalk cauldron the danger of which he himself had recalled when the ban was briefly in place it was announced the French Police would start to test stun guns for wide use and there seems to be no backtracking on this as that decision was being taken across the atlantic this happened which is one of. Those of the stuff. That was stung so in a limited but increasing use in france up almost 70 percent between 2017 and 2019 last year the use of stun guns proved fatal ones while others suffered severe injuries while stun guns or increasingly becoming the weapon of choice of course europe enforced even the Police Concern us. We must understand that when the police use force its because there is someone who doesnt want to obey the law when the technique is banned from the police must be given a solution and we agree that a stun gun is not the solution and forces him buckled in a row over whether or not the force is all racist too brutal or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control friends suspects being severely beefed up. Just in your past theres a real problem of racism theres a document check principle based on appearance theres a certain cover up of the problems there denial is institutional in nature the republican not exist without the police which means it is necessary to act and it is necessary to act quickly trust in the police in france is necessary condition for National Unity as long as hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are afraid to meet the police. When they go out into the street this indicates a serious problem and significant function in our public. Face reform also on the cards stateside president from signed an executive order to overhaul the Law Enforcement departments nationwide or not later in the program. North korea is threatening to send troops into the demilitarized borders old all but wiping out a deal to reduce tensions with the south agreed barely 2 years ago on tuesday the north blew up the only negotiations i post between the 2 countries sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new. They artillery units deployed at the level of the from guard duty to top class combat duty system throughout the front line and will resume all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary in the north actually take such a move it will certainly pay the price for it. The demolition of the empty i post in the border town of k song was shown on north korean t. V. This really the culmination of weeks of dispute with the side which p. R. Claims for stalled peace thoughts and feelings to south factors distributing calls for the propaganda but the north ultimately even could be about attracting attention from much further afield before sit down with. Theres nothing easy in the relationship between north and south from an all out war 2 decades of indecision and now even this tentative peace might be falling apart a Liaison Office right on the border was meant to incentivise talks between the neighbors well instead it is literally being blown away now here is a very unequivocal message from kim jong un sr the for law and the tragic scene of the useless north south joint Liaison Office completely collapsed would be seen corresponding to the mindset of the enraged people to surely force human scum and those who have sheltered the scum to pay dearly for their crimes in office was tragically ruined with a terrific explosion it comes amid an escalation between the 2 neighbors pyongyang for instance has been ramping up threats to move in the army 7 into the now Demilitarized Zone skeptics though saying that all of this is just diversion tactics and really kim wants the attention of washington never again will we provide the us chief executive with another package to be used for achievements without receiving any returns nothing is more hypocritical than an empty promise and think its just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda. Which they say thats why they did. But its highly unlikely that that is the only reason because for them to risk alienating seoul and really getting back on the bad side of potentially of the United States because of this aggressive act its very difficult to believe that its simply because of some fliers that were you know desperate distributed over to the border in north korea so i definitely believe that this is there are a kind of a last hail mary attempt to really get americas attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the u. S. Now so i think thats why theyre resorted to such a aggressive act that they are otherwise maybe wouldnt have done in their eyes theyre probably thinking well we tried diplomacy we tried talking to tromp we tried sitting down with the south korean president we tried taking the diplomatic peaceful route but well its not really gotten us anything and were still being hurt by the sanctions our economy is in shambles. Everyones ignoring us internationally right now and nothings really going on thats helping us really so we havent really gotten much out of it something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. There is anger in the German Parliament aimed at the United States over threatened sanctions linked to the major nord stream to gas pipeline project with russia the head of the economic and energy 1st committee wants the government to consider a country measures heres our europe correspondent peter all over. Well this latest move by the United States has caused across the political divide here in germany earlier in the week because we had the German Foreign minister saying that relations between washington and berlin at the moment worth of well difficult is how he described it and that was over Donald Trumps decision to pull u. S. Troops out of germany well that relationship is equally as problematic when you look at the north stream to project washington is currently threatening crippling sanctions against companies that theyre involved in that project that though is straight up illegal according to the chairman of the Bundestag Committee for Economic Affairs and energy. And we dont know what to do against companies but also gives governments it is an unlawful its influence in the legal system in europe and theres also a german and you observe. Well the u. S. Senators including texas as ted cruz have put forward a bill in the United States that would put the sanctions on any company and Insurance Firm related to those Companies Involved in the laying of undersea Gas Pipelines as part of the north stream project now the German Foreign minister the German Government saying they reject that out of hand the fact that sanctions are being considered or could possibly be nice she did in the United States does not change anything in our position and nor its true to dissension has been discussed now are extraterritorial by nature from our point of view we reject them the German Government has long had the view that sanctions with extra territorial effects are in conflict with International Law and that theyre not a contribution to advancing International Corporation not stream to is the name suggest the 2nd phase in that this underwater gas pipeline project it takes russian gas directly from russia into germany. Multibillion euro project involves companies from a number of different nations it had been supposed to be open running by 2019 but pressure from the United States has forced delays washington says this pipeline gives moscow too much of a hand in the European Energy sector however politicians here in berlin well they think there may be and altieri a motive behind the United States protests. And the aim of these actions from the United States is not from our perspective to reduce dependence on russia but rather the goal is naturally to be able to sell their own gas to europe and that is easier to do with less gas is delivered from russia i. E. Betrayed ruins in the Energy Sector would be susceptible to disturb it historically not a lot has changed here even in the darkest hours of the cold war west germany as it was then bought energy from the u. S. S. R. As it was then what we have here though is essentially whos going to blink 1st the German Government are insisting its not going to be them they say its German Energy policy it who germany buys its energy from is german business and that donald trump the United States and any u. S. Senators that want to get involved well they should think twice about doing that. 20 indian soldiers have been killed in 101. 00 clashes with Chinese Forces in the disputed himalayan border area it is the 1st deadly encounter between them in the region for at least 4 decades china and india have long disputed ownership of the territory with their patrols often coming into contact resulting in occasional skirmishes china has not said whether its troops suffer any casualties with both sides blaming each other for starting the fighting. Or taking a look at china itself tighter measures in the capital. To stave off a suspected 2nd wave of corona virus 28. 00 neighborhoods are not locked dollar in for at least the next 3 weeks on flights in and being counseled the new u. I. Breaks believed to have been started in the citys biggest food market beijing reported 31. 00 new cases on whedons total to run 130. 00 over the past week. Europe now greece is officially opened up for tourists from within the e. U. After months of the murder of the iconic island of sumter rainy usually bustling with visitors at this time of year pitched for holiday makers by assuring them being a single case of coronavirus there the rest of the country though has a longer worth 3000. 00 infections on 185. 00 deaths. On the way a former politician takes it to extremes to save a statue from racism protestors are to report some stories for the shortest the. You can be both with the yeah you want. The world is driven by a dream shaped. Dares. To ask. News. During the world changing events of 2020 but when it comes to public trust its not good reading for the big hitters in the british media new Indepth Research suggests audience confidence is still on the decline dropping over 20 Percentage Points since 2015 largely driven by the countrys Major Political upheaval this years reuters report says theres been a significant drop in trust among left leaning voters 31 Percentage Points there there is slightly less pessimism among those on the right but its still down by 22. 00 Percentage Points and despite also stressing that the corporation sticks to the impartial facts the Public Service broadcasters credibility has taken quite a knock. Even the most trusted brands like the b. B. C. Are seen by many as pushing or suppressing agendas especially over polarizing issues like brooks that trust in the b. B. C. With the most partisan groups has formed by 20 Percentage Points since 2018. At a time to get some Industry Insight life to journalist and broadcaster neil clark neil welcome what straightening this decline in trust. Its interesting isnt it that the cutoff point seems to be 2015 or 2015 for the left certainly the left was reasonably satisfied with a meeting 2015 then of course we had jeremy calling coming into becoming the leader of the labor party and theres no doubt at all why any objective assessment media betrayal of corgan was almost consistently hostile and very very critical without much balance so i think thats one of the reasons to explain why the left if you like of both the trust of the media from the left as well on and the right to the political right to feels probably aggrieved over rex it covers the coverage last year about the brics they go she a sions etc so there is this problem and i think looking deeper the core issue union is the way the news has been presented and promoted the blurring between news and views has been blurred basically and we saw a good example of that a few weeks ago when emily made list the percent of the news not program on the b. B. C. Began with a sort of tear out against Dominic Cummings who is the u. K. Governments chief advisor to Boris Johnson for his alleged recruit lock down who rules out a point is not whether we support it coming sporting he was responsible for the breakdown for breaking the rules but the way in which it was done was like a sort of editorializing. Diatribe i make lists and thats the sort of thing you would have seen on the b. B. C. Years ago and that i think that the move towards that will editorialize. Approach has been one of the reasons why i think the public trust has fallen this is our business how does it make you feel as a journalist that audiences are increasingly suspicious i suppose. Well i think weve got to go back to the future really are its not good and i think weve got to clearly see the innate the difference between views between news and views to say quite clearly there is reporting and there is opinion and ive got a little connection to go back to the print media of newspapers going way back to the 1970 s. And then if you looked at some of the treats it was very clearly delineated you had the new section which reported for example in britain things like the soviet union mr brush never making a speech it was done very very special you very objectively using direct speech as much as possible you could dont tell when you read these reports from from there was the Daily Telegraph actually that the Daily Telegraph was a conservative paper not very sympathetic to the soviet union what it stood for and yet the report was entirely factual west today if you for example president putin made a speech you get that you get that reported in a very productive way you know the russian leader putin even called the set you get all those words thrown in so youve lost that dispassionate reporting often use it regardless of the paper all the leader out that starts with with views and i think thats thats the core issue here one aspect weve seen repeatedly talking about briggss denting trust in the news in britain but why is that because there was plenty of partisan info if not downright lies being pumped out in the build up by politicians of all stripes but that means its not an easy job doesnt that for broadcasters make sense of all. Yes and i think one has to look at this as a get to as one can if you are a pro remain and you put the t. V. On you saw nigel farage on question time you tell michael this is terrible faberge is on again but equally if you progress say why is this guy for remained so polarized and yet mr became so toxic that it was both sides were going to complain and you could argue that people have made the point that if if you got great cities and remain as both saying that the b. B. C. Was biased or other outlets were biased and thats truly a good sign is it in that both felt that it wasnt putting their picture together because you next face it the country on bricks it was literally split down the middle 50. 00 to 48. 00 was a final result and so you know its given the passion of that issue that many people felt about it was going to be very difficult for anybody to any media outlet to try to put forward coverage that nobody would complain about and i think that yeah you know basically politics has become polarized and toxic more toxic in recent years and thats another big factor neal appreciate your time today thanks very much journalist and broadcaster new clarke a life on the program. Thank you. Police reform in america is in motion President Trump signed an executive order to overhaul Police Departments across the country its the strongest federal level action yet after weeks of often violent on wrists against Police Brutality following the death of george floyd rival democrats have their own ideas about how to improve policing criticising the trumpet ministrations humbling of the crisis during a senate hearing. People are demanding action. They are not marching in the streets for a watered down proposals that wont hold any officers accountable and there is nothing about what the president announced today that would hold Police Officers who break the rules and break the law accountable because of existing laws that basically give Carte Blanche to Law Enforcement to kill it will with the utterance of these 3 words im sorry these 5 words i feared for my life hard for rare prosecutions and difficult convictions have characterized the experiences of families like both. He was killed in his apartment complex even a bowl of ice cream during the 8 years of president obama was there never to get rid of qualified immunity for Police Officers there were conversations and many conversations was there no registration there was not legislature any legislation and. Not to my knowledge was any legislation created a National Registry for balance by the police there were efforts to create a National Registry i mean things were included in the 21st Century Police imply i just missed a lot of that so you know this is a tough time for the country and. A handful but were not here because of the failings of one administration or because of failing that society will essentially from the outset the public protests have demanded Police Reform that since widened in 2 colds in some quarters 2 despondent Law Enforcement departments defund the polling become a rallying cry at some blocked lives matter rally sound from some democratic politicians to warrant out for more taste. Its been 3 weeks of almost nonstop protesting since the death of george florida. The president has now signed an executive order banning the use of the show cold unless the Police Officers life is in danger however protesters say that doesnt go far enough they want donald trump to defund the police but the president says he is not willing to do that i strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend dismantle them dissolve our Police Departments without police there is chaos without law there is an arche and without safety there is catastrophe so what is in this executive order well it provides federal funding for deescalation training furthermore it encourages the police to be accompanied by social workers when dealing with drug addicts the homeless or the mentally ill it creates a federal database of complaints so Police Officers cant go from job to job to job after being fired for brutality now trump clearly hopes these moves will appease the growing unrest however the protesters seem satisfied with these moves trumps executive order hes toothless and meaningless we dont need studies when he believes that commute crimes to be punished all police that use chokeholds claimed their lives were threatened whats new this attempt to calm things down from u. S. President donald trump comes after he promised a crackdown on seattle where protesters have set up what they call an autonomy zone after the local government vacated a Police Precinct of a governor that doesnt do a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesnt know shes alive shes talking about its going to be a love fest this summer you know if they dont do the job ill do the job but ive already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they dont do the job we will do the job well and. About 10 Different Things either any one of which will solve the problem quickly the crackdown in seattle would certainly fit Donald Trumps desired image as a law and order president but if the local government in seattle including the mayor is not willing to go along with it it will be pretty hard for the president to hold off now the protesters at this point are not exactly running for cover and with a lackluster executive order theyre unlikely to be off the streets anytime soon it would mop an artsy new york. Indeed hollow to monuments to slavery still causing angry division in the u. S. Lets turn attention to new mexico where a former local politician has been arrested for shooting a protester is trying to topple a statue of a 16th century spanish copra hes known custody after one of the demonstrators was injured later local authorities took down the statue similar moves elsewhere have seen media commentators way up to balance history for the 21st century. And. Should you happen to find yourself near a statue that you decide you no longer like we lost scientists for the best safest ways to bring it to the ground without anyone getting hurt except of course for the unanimous racist whos been dead for a century anyway.
