Charging. A city in Central England strict measures are in force. For 10 percent of the countrys new infections. One minute past midday in rome 10 pm in ologhlin down one in the afternoon in. June the 30th a warm welcome to our 2 international. The u. S. Has rebuffed irans arrest warrant for u. S. President donald trump as a propaganda stunt mr trump and 35 others are being sought over murder and terrorism charges following the drone killing of the countrys powerful top general in january a Senior Iranian judge sees iran would continue to pursue the american leaders prosecution after his presidency and in law what i think we believe that in the circumstances the president of the United States ought to be removed from office it would be possible to mark other individuals and citizens because this is not a political issue but a crime with a main charge of murder this has nothing to do with National SecurityInternational Peace or promoting stability we see it for what it is its a propaganda stunt that no one takes seriously and makes the iranians look foolish well donald trump urged openly bragged about ordering the assassination of the reunion commander who was widely revered locally washington said the killing was justified because solar money presented an imminent threat to american lives to iran considers it an act of terrorism and has designated the us army and the pentagon terrorist organizations during the escalation in january tensions were so high that it brought the 2 countries to the brink of war. Solomin he has been perpetrating acts of terror to destabilize the middle east for the last 20 years what the United States did yesterday should have been done long ago we took action last like to stop. A war. If we did not take action to start a war. I think. All those who ordered this as well as the perpetrators of this crime the killing of general kasim saw the money go with the pentagon and their military accounting as terrorists. This is a symbolic gesture of the regime in washington whether its under trump or previous president s theyre constantly declaring leaders of other countries as outlaws. Their whichever country opposes us policy is sanction on ish the iranians want to symbolically reverse the tables where the iranians declare officially that the leader of the United States is a war criminal which he is remembered gen solely money went to iraq at the invitation of the iraqi Prime Minister he sent the. A couple of days later in parliament to discuss an initiative to increase tensions between iran and saudi arabia the saudis that sent a letter to the iraqi Prime Minister this is symbolic this. Issue this warrant that the iranians have sent out but it is also reflective of the fact that the iranians are not going to forgive trump or the regime itself remember a lot of whats happened in this region was not just done by trump ice this was created by u. S. Allies. The campaign to topple statues of figures link with historical racism has landed a 20 year old american student in court on vandalism charges hes all of 4 queues there trying to tear down a statue in washington of 19th century president drew jackson over his role in forcing indigenous tribes off their land donald trump promised to issue a special order to protect monuments a statue to another american president Theodore Roosevelt also saw a protest on sunday except this time it was a gathering to protect it after new yorks National History museum decided to get rid of the controversial monument out its entrance the brahmans all bruiser veldt is flanked by a native american and an african man and is criticized by some for glorifying colonialism Big Questions are being asked worldwide on how best to remember our past and whether hiding history is the best solution peter over next looks at how germany is tackling the issue. When it comes to assessing and dealing with difficult periods of history germany has more experience than most but we havent seen the type of scenes here that have played out in the United States britain or belgium. But germany isnt without its own controversial statues otto von bismarck has been dogged with red paint in hamburg while as an Ongoing Campaign to block the renovation of another monument to the iron chancellor in the port city bismarck wasnt just crucial in german unification he was also a driving force in colonialism and by todays standards and on d. C. Might here in berlin sell end of district anime as hassam and 1920 s. Depiction of a needling a black woman was decapitated last week kasem and remains controversial in germany he was a committed nazi and despite that fact his works continue to be displayed across the german capital this particular monument had been slated for removal by city authorities who dont already deemed it earlier this year on suitable for display in the city of belin. And if it had no birth society cannot exist with this kind of bigotry and prejudice you cannot live together if you do not treat each other equally people shouldnt be discriminated against based on the color of their skin so what happens the statues in germany that no longer justify exhibition well here in berlin theyve got just the place for them the spandau citadel although the 16th century fortress has its own troubled past it was used as a chemical weapon storage by the nazis but i put it as i was it was to bring those that you to a museum to show it was an example of racism these mistakes are not you people who do this racial stereotypes should not be demonstrated on the streets but in a museum where we could demonstrate it to people get within context as we move through the exhibition we see hundreds of years of prussian military strongman into monuments of naziism the 3rd reich didnt really do sculpture but they see the castle it was one of few described by hitler as irreplaceable the nazis preferred buildings as their monuments to time and theres plenty of those still visible in modern belin. One of the most i can change in this collection of discarded start juice is this gigantic granite head of blood to me l. N. Its all that remains of a 19 meet monument that was built in 1970 to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth. In the United States and also in Great Britain the red discussions at the moment about what to do with dismantle memorials but here we have already found a possible solutions for memorials that are so to speak toxic if you put them in a museum that doesnt mean its over we put them here so that people can continue to Pay Attention to them but in a different context germany is often cited as the example to follow when it comes to assessing periods of history troubling to modern sensibilities even if there are 2 named after nazi field Marshall Erwin rubble that the German Military calls home to this day they glossed over as they dont fit the particular narrative because history has a tendency not to be as neat as we might like it when its really examined peter all of r.

The Us Democratic primary elections are into a key stage 3 states are about to hold their votes with 2 of them fully geared up for post still voting to reduce footfall in polling stations sharing the demick meal in ballots of the rival republicans worried they think it will ultimately cost them president ial votes come november because of the potential for fraud caleb maupin looks at the Political Division over what should simply be a safer way to vote the pandemic turned democratic primary of the United States into a mess many new yorkers say that voting was a nightmare today some people never got their absentee ballots and others waited in line for hours long lines missing ballots and locked doors as Election Officials struggled to keep up with turnout new york and 4 other states faced a challenging day of voting on tuesday long lines delays and confusion across new york city voters were given incomplete and incorrect balance confusion in voting stations and fears that the elderly may not risk going out in order to vote has caused the democrats to mail in ballots as an alternative this becomes a health Issue Program mail is that more democratic gives people more options that removes obstacles and barriers to voting which is what we want to do voting by at home but there appear to be some pretty big problems with this magical solution. Mail in voting on the other hand will lead to the most corrupt election in usa history bad things happen with mail ins just look at the special election in paterson new jersey 1000 percent of ballots a fraud donald trump never hesitates to take a swing at the democrats but if you look into the facts he may be on to something and last week 4 democrats in new jersey were arrested for illegal possession of mail in ballots video has already surface to Campaign Materials being dumped into the garbage in texas and the Postal Workers Union is not shy about where it will stand when it comes in november.

The republicans on the other hand the that theres so much voter fraud going on that a small number of people she. Was and that actually is in the interest so you want your vote counts on coal in person you know to i think us that most ups are like the full truth way that you know what american citizen are really a country. The best. Of the. Relations between germany and the United States appear to have reached something of a crossroads the German Foreign minister is saying is that no matter who takes the white house after novembers election it might not be enough to salvage their previously strong ties. Everyone who thinks everything in the Transatlantic Partnership will be as it once was with a democratic president underestimates the structural change use the Transatlantic Relations are extraordinarily important they remain important and we are working to ensure they have a future but with the way they are now theyre no longer fulfilling the demands both sides have for them. And it does seem to be building as recently as last week german chancellor Angela Merkel urged the e. U. To reconsider its balms with washington emphasizing the need for a rethink if the u. S. Gives up on its thinking as a unilateral Global Leader merkels remarks come after donald trump this decision to withdraw a large number of u. S. Troops from germany which he accused of being delinquent in funding nato he wants some of the units redeployed to poland while bringing others home another source of tension between the 2 nato allies has been the north stream to gas pipeline project which would deliver russian gas directly to germany through the baltic sea washingtons tried to put europe off the deal with the threat of sanctions leaving berlin to reportedly consider hunter measures german journalist and political or 3rd Thomas Foss Pender ses the Trump Presidency has revealed just how fractured relations. I would say in terms of content. Trump has even opened it we didnt know and allowed others to allowed us to view all right through into the american political so that allowed us to draw some rather maybe difficult but true and clean conclusion its basically in terms of content i would Say Obama Administration im not so much apart from each other and then also not so much optimism for any. President what real action can we expect from the u. S. Next im referring to north stream to mr trump most likely move over to the in biden has a much higher personal interest in the destruction of the nordstrom to grow dick because of his son who has been even financially invested in continuing and growing rule of ukraine its high time that the becomes more independent but there we have an additional problem here we have been seeing. Over the years. Increase of division between the east. And the western part of the my prediction is that both divisions growing divisions will continue both between europe and the us but also within europe the tree east and west. Lets go to south america where after brazil injured its worst ever week for a new coronavirus cases public pressure on president baltar noro to quit are seen more protests in major cities on beyond there have been more than 1300000 factions that equates to over 58000 deaths there are local level murders and governors uptick in quarantine measures but the president continues to tell people to ignore the advice saying the economy cannot handle it the protesters say hes a threat to democracy. To the. European league. To the. Police to the covert 19 is a risk to his all to our lives. As it is the bow sonora government and he must be stopped. With. The. New things. We are. Not safe. And our in office and leading the government its not. Easy. To. Go on. With an interest from several sectors of plays so that. This which doesnt seem wise to me as everyone who is including the full economy even before the law is the one who was doing real talking of books less capitalists who think in all of themselves while the people get done over it will be difficult to get him all the falseness but not impossible.
