And europes former top antitrust chief lands of hot water after she ran an offshore company in the bahamas while in office and neglected to tell anyone. Sarah thank you for joining us. In the united states, a wave of anger over yet another shooting of a black man at the hands of police has prompted a second night of unrest in charlotte, north carolina. Police originally said that keith scott had a handgun and was posing a threat before he was killed by an officer. Now the citys police chief has said the video footage does not definitively support that version of events. He has said the video will be shown to the scott family but not immediately made available to the public. Reporter city officials are urging people to let police finish their investigation. Video footage of the incident is being evaluated in will be shown to the victims family but not released to the public anytime soon. The police chief said the video does not resolve the key question. The video does not give me absolute, definitive visual evidence that would confirm that a person is pointing a gun. I did not see that in the videos i reviewed. So, when i can tell you is we are taking in the totality of the other evidence, and it supports the situation that we gave that led to the death of mr. Scott. Reporter that is not likely to calm tempers in charlotte. This was the scene Late Wednesday when police clash with protesters. Please arrested 44 persons, one was shot and seriously wounded. The officials declared a state of emergency in mobilized the National Guard to help police restore order. Several major employers urged other workers to avoid Downtown Charlotte until bestie of emergency is lifted. Sarah lets go now to our washington studio to speak with jessica pierce. We just want to hear from you, what do you make of what is going on in charlotte . Jessica it is a reflection of what is happening across this country right now. We are literally in a state of rage come a state of emergency when it comes to black people right now. It is telling us that, as a black person in this country, i cannot read a book, i cannot walk in my apartment, i cannot reach for my id, i cannot play on playgrounds, i cannot play with toys come i cannot sit on a quarter of a street. Literally what we are seeing on street right now is a reflection of what black people fear, which is we are literally carrying a fear of dying every single day. We are seeing in charlotte is that people have had enough. Sarah some of the issues being raised our accountability with the police force. What are you calling for on those fronts . Jessica we are calling for a complete overhaul around these issues. One, we need information when it comes to police virus violence, especially Police Involved deaths, we cannot even get the information a lot of times. They will eventually release the footage in this case to the family. They are using very loose, very broad and vague terms. We need to make sure also that due process is occurring in every single case. Beyond that we need larger reform. What we are seeing now is what is happening in state legislators is that they are passing Blue Lives Matter bills to put protect Police Officers, even though Police Officers are not even in the top 10 most dangerous careers. More black people are getting killed and we are not seeing any protection for black people. There has not been the same legislation when it comes to critical criminal justice reform. Sarah you are calling for some constructive solutions. How can those solutions be found if protesters react to the Police Violence with violence of their own . Howdy respond to the criticism of the protesters response . Jessica i would really pause and hesitate about criticism and ask folks why to be critical what i am seeing is not just that protesters are being violent with that police are increasing in violence and their presence. Im talking about situations including even basic safety. We had a protester down with friends in charlotte within a wheelchair and could not get out of the way of Police Officers moving towards them. What we are talking about right now is, yes, there is violence happening but it is not a protesters were being violence. The police are inciting this violence, this pressure. We always worked to make sure they are focused on policy reform, conversations. But we cannot have conversations with people who do not see us as human beings, because that is not what im seeing. How my supposed to be nonviolent, how my supposed to be unarmed when what you find is as violent is my skin color . Sarah thank you very much for speaking with us. Lets turn to some other news. Syria is burning after warplanes struck the city of aleppo, sending entire areas up in flames. Activists say is it is the most intense bombardment in months. The syrian president has come forward with new denials about the situation in his country. In new york, efforts to provide a failed truce arc riding on one day after the u. S. And russia clashed over who is responsible for violating the ceasefire. Reporter suffering without end. More airstrikes on aleppo have lit left at least 45 dead and more misery on a desperate situation. The ceasefire ended on monday after an attack on a humanitarian convoy bound for aleppo. The u. S. Blames russia and john kerry also strongly condemns syrians bombing of civilian buildings. But the president responded with a bullish attitude. He criticized the u. S. And rejected claims that hospitals were being attacked and destroyed. The white house was accusing syria and russia. Whatever they said has no credibility whatsoever. They are just lies. Reporter assad blamed the levels. They called for all military art crafted to be grounded. Aircraft to be grounded. While u. S.

Here in berlin. We heard a little bit there about a you that food aid is waiting to get into aleppo, that it will expire on monday. Do you see a chance of the situation being stabilize before then in order to allow the deliveries through . Not really. Today we have seen some of the heaviest russian and syrian bombing over aleppo. Russia and syria play a cap and mouse game a cat and mouse game. One step backwards, two steps forward. They might get one or two food boys and food convoys in. Starvation policy suits them, why change it . They might get one or two deliveries but that is it. Sarah the syrian president gave a rare interview with a western journalist. He spoke in english. The fact he gave that interview now, what do you think that says about the situation . They love to project confidence. I remember in the final days of Saddam Hussein he gave several interviews the u. S. Media and the projected full confidence even know he was about to fall. Projecting confidence is an essential trait of dictators and in this case, we have a very bloody to skater bloody dictator. He was to project he is winning, things are in his favor, and part of the psychological warfare. We have to remember two things a bout this regime. Their masters of the session. Sarah they are masters of deception. Sarah what you think the u. N. Can hope to achieve . We have seen some very sharp rhetoric this week, sharp accusations. Can the consensus gap be closed . It is hopeless. Something that is certain out of the syrian conflict is the hopelessness of United Nations. What has the United Nations achieved . How much are they getting and what value are they giving the world for the money they are receiving . Very little. If anything, they have been indirectly linked to the starvation policy. Sarah john kerry, u. S. Secretary of state, warning that the situation is worsening, not only in syria across the region. Is that a fear you also share . Syria is at the heart of the instability in the middle east. But his words ring hollow because it would mean an emperor without close. Since the american without clothes. Since the american withdrawal, given the greenlight light, look, were not going to touch you. Sarah thank you. We appreciate it.

Sarah the president of the European Parliament has been in london for meetings with the british prime minister. She was meeting theresa may to discuss britains negotiations about leaving the European Union. Ahead of the meaning, she said it was important for britain to leave before the european elections in may 2019. And the eu needs to quickly decide on what line to take with the u k. Reporter it is extremely complicated. I can understand why the government in london is taking his time to develop a unified approach. But once britain has that unified approach, it is very important it is not met with on unified negotiating position from europe. That is why the 27 eu Member States need to and this was one of the aims of the discussions in bratislava the 27 eu never states the two develop as unified a position as possible for the European Union going into these investigations.

It is now time for business news. Christoph is standing by with a big ruling. Christoph it is a staging decision for the European Union. Eu members states are wrong to allow generous subsidies to play maker airbus to the detriment of u. S. Rival boeing. They have called the ruling an important victory in an internional trade dispute and one which could cost airbus billions. Reporter it is theorlds largest trade dispute. Bitter arguments over aircraft subsidies have been flying back and forth over the letter. On thursday, the wto sided with the u. S. April the eu had failed to bring in billions of dollars in subsidies to play maker airbus. 22 billion dollars to be precise, which the wto says causes american rival boeing to lose out on sales worth tens of billions of dollars. The boeing ceo called the decision a victory for fair trade worldwide and for u. S. Aerospace workers in particular. Boeing claims that retaliatory duties against airbus could amount to 10 billion before any fines are imposed. The eu still can appeal the latest finding. That process is likely to take at least three months. Christoph for more on this lets bring in our financial correspondent yens quartet in new york. Jens korte in new york. Jens, what did investors make of it . Jens the stock of boeing went up by about 1 . What i am hearing over here is that this case is not close in my continued to drag on for many more years. This is probably not the end of this case. On top of it, there is also a similar accusation in the air that boeing itself also received subsidies from the american government. If you look at the overall industry, chinese and Russian Companies are developing their own planes, probably also with a little help from the government. Overall, it is a big topic with all these subsidies going on in the plane industry. Christoph equities posted strong gains in europe today. Why are investors less enthusiastic on wall street . Jens first of all, when the Federal Reserve met on wednesday, we already had quite an increase in stock phrases stock prices. Trading had already finished. It was still a pretty good reading here on thursday. The nasdaq reached a new alltime high.

Business is definitely not booming. Reporter russias economy is in crisis. He sanctions and pose result of the conflict in ukraine are not helping. But more than anything, it is the plummeting price of oil that is to blame. It has caused large fluctuations the value of the ruble. The gdp chunk shrunk. Trade with other countries has also taken a hit. Last year, german exports to russia fell 26 . That is an even bigger drop than the year before. Russian exports to germany also fell sharply. A comparison with the year 2012, when russian trade with germany was at its height, illustrates the point. Back then it was worth 80 billion euros by 2015, that number had fallen to 52 billion. That has affected a range of sectors in germany. Engineering, for example. But surprisingly, the number of German Companies operating in russia have not fallen much. A sign of perhaps how important the russian market is for german business. Many Industry Leaders will be keeping a key eye on the visit to moscow.
