The us President Donald Trump asked the chinese premier for help to win this years u. S. Election thats just one of a number of startling claims made in a new book by his former National Security adviser john bolton in excerpts published in 2 newspapers bolton says trump was attempting obstruction of justice as a way of life by interfering in criminal investigations involving chinese and Turkish Companies. It says sector state might pompei were dismissed trumps attempts at diplomacy with north korea as having 0 probability of success and says Intelligence Briefings involved more time listening to trump and trump listening to the briefers the book claims trump showed extraordinary ignorance about World Affairs which led him to asking if england was part of russia and showing he didnt know that major ally britain has Nuclear Weapons while fisher joins us live from the white house sound weve been waiting for this for a while the book is it is damaging are the allegations as damaging as expected. You have to remember that john bolton was one of the most senior figures in the trump and ministration while wolf had a number of books on a number of journalists write books about the trumpet ministration this is someone who stood right next to the president in some of the most important events in the 1st 3 years of his presidency john bolton describes donald trump as erratic and stunningly uninformed you of course says that he asked the chinese president to help him win reelection by buying a great deal of american farming produce from the midwest he believed that that would help them secure the farming vote and why is that important well you remember from the impeachment case that you cant ask for governments to help. In u. S. Elections so that its pretty damning there are other instances door to throw the extracts that weve seen that dont paint a very glowing picture of donald trump with might pompeo that describing him in very unflattering towns the fact that he was willing to reverse legal action against chinese and Turkish Companies to curry favor with the chinese and tuck asian governments and that he would he issued a statement defending mohammed bin solomon at the time of the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi because he thought that would take heat away from a vine co who is under pressure in the media for using her passionate email on government business this book is due to come out next wednesday this is the start of the media rollout were going to hear a lot about it over the next few days and remember this is the book that the white house has tried to ban and how credible claims. Well john bolton was in the room what is interesting from people who have seen the book there is nothing that is hugely critical of john bolton everyone else made mistakes everyone else had failings but john bolton didnt but you have to remember john bolton has been around in republican politics for a good number of years he sat in a number of rules in the white house of george w. Bush george h. W. Bush and of course we ended up as the u. N. Ambassador for d. The latter bush for president 45 sorry 44. So there is a great deal of credibility attached to also remember john bolton before he was handpicked by donald trump to be the National Security advisor appeared a great deal on fox news praising donald trump and saying that he was doing the right thing he will come under criticism from both republicans for speaking out the white house has already said at the briefing earlier today that the book contains numerous state secrets and he should not be revealing those in a book but he will also come under criticism from democrats as well remember during the impeachment process john bolton was given a subpoena but he didnt turn up saying it was for a judge to order him to speak they will want to know why he didnt turn up if he was so concerned heres the other thing that goes against john bolton he didnt speak out even though he saw this all alleged wrongdoing but was willing to do so when a publisher handed him a check for 2000000. 00 alan fischer thank you very much indeed. The un has called on india and china to act with restraint and welcomed moves by both sides to deescalate the situation along their shared border china and india have agreed to restart talks to resolve a longstanding dispute that intensified in recent weeks it culminated on monday with the deaths of 20 indian soldiers the worst fighting in the disputed himalayan region in decades it centers only go one valley region near indian administered kashmir catching up as what i am has more.

Guard posts that had been removed to deescalate tensions will now be restored while military exercises on the northern side of the border will be resumed bringing this unusually strong response from the south. Such moves thought to the efforts and achievements made by the 2 koreas to maintain peace and the north will surely pay if these measures are put into action the north has blamed the south for allowing defectors to release propaganda balloons into its territory but north Korean Leader kim jong un is also frustrated at his failure to get more concessions in summits with the south korean president moon j.

Gyms Sports CentersRestaurants Hotels could all open up to half of their capacity so it is quite a big deal especially as Health Professionals in the country that weve been talking to extensively over the last couple of weeks have been saying were not seeing the cases going down were struggling to deal with this were at full stretch we really need people to stay home and watch the situation of the economy and employment. Well thats why the government is opening up because of the economy the countrys National Statistics insitu estimates that about 12000000 people have lost their work during this pandemic and weve also been out to speak to some of them produce a public pettis has been around about 20 food banks in the capital city just checking up on this for us and what hes found that the lines there are much longer than usual so food banks means people that work usually in the Informal Sector thats what hes finding their Street Vendors their market work has they were among the countrys poorest anyway and they just pulling off the age where they can no longer be able to to get enough money together to basically so this is really affecting Country Companies from the biggest to the smallest and then of course those individuals and thats what the countrys president and his men will Lopez Obrador is saying obviously we need to deal with the pandemic but we also need to make sure that people can get out and earn their daily bread theres been some criticism of the government because this stimulus package hasnt been as an extensive as elsewhere for Large Companies there really hasnt been much a tool for Small Companies theres been only small loans just a bit more than a 1000. 00 for those that go underneath the government trying to work out at the moment how exactly its going to help them and this isnt going to end anytime soon at 1st the government seem to end to indicate that the peak of the curve would be earlier now when i spoke to the countrys coronavirus saw he said that it would happen maybe late june july so metzger hasnt seen the last of it as it does try and reopen john holmes thank you very much. Well lets get more now on the situation in the u. S. With kristens nummi he joins us live from new york and christian though there was some concern that new york would see infections start to rise again as a result of people so many people demonstrating the streets but doesnt seem to be the case does it. No actually new york saw its lowest rate in the last 24 hours with just 16 feet tell it is that the lowest that weve seen here in new york since a pandemic began back in early march 60000 people were tested in new york state in that 24 hour period and the positive rate came back at less than one percent Governor Andrew Cuomo here says that shows that new york has gone from having the worst infection rate to the best infection rate in the country he was touting his states horn if you will and criticizing the trumpet ministration for the advice that its been giving to states and thus far as reopening goes Governor Cuomo pointed out that new york waited until the curve was flattened so to speak and infections and fatalities have been on the decline for some time before starting its reopening process and weve seen those cases continue to go down whereas in at least 10 other states in the country where reopening has been pushing forward infection rates have continued to go up so he is pushing back it would seem against Vice President mike pence who said in an editorial this week that concerns about a 2nd wave of infections in the United States are overblown Governor Cuomo took the absolute opposite approach. Vice president pence had pointed out that overall fatalities in the United States continue to decline and the rate of new infections overall continue to decline and states are better prepared pence accuse the media of overhyping the risk of a 2nd wave but Governor Cuomo pushed back on that and also questioned the sense of moving forward in some of the states where infections are rising so christine what does all this mean for a reopening of the economy in new york commuting. Yeah its a good question new york has been starting the reopening process in phases and new york city is only still in phase one and its a phased approach with Certain Industries coming back more gradually here in new york city phase 2 according to the governor could start on monday and that would allow some Retail Operations to reopen indoor retail sales could could start again restaurants could have Outdoor Dining hair salons and barbershops could reopen and theres a lot of grumbling were starting to hear it here in new york that Business Owners are really eager to get back to work and theres not a clear plan or a clear way forward the mayor has actually said here that he might wait until the following week into early july to enter that phase 2 of reopening because hes concerned about those demonstrations while there hasnt been an uptick in new infections yet he says he wants to wait till the end of the week to make sure that cases dont start to rise again as a result of so many people out in the streets christianson to me thank you very much indeed.

For a mass protests over the death of george troy. Bothered to rest of a nurse at a protest in paris is causing outrage in france riot police were filmed removing the women from a crowd of demonstrating Health Workers who were demanding better pay for their work during the pandemic at one point officers dragged the 50 year old woman by her hair but police say she was arrested for throwing objects about the has more. I believe posted online video of this arrest caused a flurry of indignation on social media a nurse at a protest in paris will choose day is held down by Police Officers surround her before school in her own way blood is again on her face Health Workers were demonstrating for higher pay they dedications been revealed to during the convict pandemic see the image of a nurse being roughly handled by police sparked outrage the nurses daughter tweeted this woman is my mother 50 years old a nurse shes worked 12 to 14 hours a day for 3 months she had conveyed. Later further pictures emerged at the nurse moments before her arrest this time throwing stones at Police Officers outside the Police Station where the nurse was held overnight campaigners say to her actions didnt justify her treatment why in fam them its gone to here we have a woman just 5 foot tall held down by 4 heavily armed Police Officers its totally disproportionate theres clearly a problem with the orders that are being given to the police and the way they are trained or the nursery that was just released from this Police Station she had spent the night in custody now we managed to speak to her one on one she was visibly very shaken very traumatized so she didnt want to be filmed but what she did do was tell us a little bit about how she felt very angry very upset she rolled up the sleeves of her jacket and she had bruises all over her arms she said to be very roughly treated in fact she still had a dry blood on her forehead police say the video showed the hostile conditions they face one officers reportedly filed a complaint against the nurse into new it is a measure it seems looking at the images broadcast yesterday and today that this arrest followed offenses carried out by this woman. The video has come at a time when Police Violence is in the spotlight in front of the recent anti racism protests and last year. Yes demonstrations whether the videos show the police using a heavy handed approach all reasonable force is being fiercely debated in france to touch a butler aljazeera paris. Or he speak now to the social just and antiracism campaigner Adam Elliot Cooper he joins us live from london via skype thanks very much for being with us theres been a lot of discussion in the u. S. And in france about Police Methods after some of these violent arrests and we see more of these now because they have been caught on film or do you think i think certainly its me being made more difficult for the police to deny culpability or for it makes it easy for the press to cover these kinds of issues and of course its a rallying cry for people to be able to share these kinds of videos and use this is a mobilizing so i think weve seen something that we havent seen in a very long time across europe and elsewhere and i think these videos are certainly a possible i mean there is a degree of pushback isnt there from some of the Police Institutions and for example in france theyve reversed a ban on police using a chokehold during arrests after complaints from pepper officers that their lives would be put at risk is there a problem that police are actually often that the target of anger from the from demonstrators and that this contributes to these come situations. I think we should be on surprise that the police lobby for war powers the police are always looking for more powers whether it be in britain with tasers and more powers to stop and search or whether it be in the United States or more more where military grade equipments and and and armor armaments and vehicles of that nature and so we see this a constant pattern in the idea that they are under constant threats from the public is always the reason thats given and i think we need to pay more attention to the bonds that the public are experiencing in the face of these new weaponry is in the pounds so from your studies are there any forms of training that can reduce the numbers of violent confrontations during policing. I think theres very little evidence in terms of training in reducing the kind of problem of Police Brutality when most of the evidence suggests that we really need to do is to militarize the threats remove their ability to use weaponry whether it be lethal weaponry or other problems of weaponry and do so not rely on policing to solve the social problems that we have so it is a social problem where nurses are demanding better pay and conditions while the letting them have a big strike where the police have to come in can confront them the government needs to ensure that Health Care Workers are properly paid and properly looked after and so rather than having the police and prison system as a solution to social problems we need more progressive measures in this regard so on on the basis of what you make of president trumps executive order he signed on tuesday is meant to address Police Brutality in the u. S. C. He talked about implementing programs social workers and other mental Health Professionals to assist Law Enforcement in areas involving health Mental Health issues and addiction and so on those the kind of things that might help i think rather than having Mental Health practitioners or people working Addiction Services assist the police we need to see them replacing place so rather than people with Mental Health issues or addiction problems coming into contact with a criminal Justice System we need to have the Services Available to make those earlier interventions so they dont come. Contact with the police or prison system in the 1st place i think thats the best way of improving Public Safety and in terms of what the for instance the demonstrations how much of what the police do is to do with the kind of orders theyre given from above mean is it is the political decision to come down hard on on protest as generally or do you think that it is actually pretty departments that make those decisions i think the problem is certainly institutional we often see arguments relating to bad apples in the old place officer who has made a description i think what we need to understand is that yes these orders and these powers do come from above me give the police those powers we provide the those weapons the impetus there is for them to use them to the maximum of their weve seen that in front of this recent video that weve been seeing here in the United States and elsewhere adamant cooper thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. To Northern Iraq now where turkey has carried out a 2nd attack on kurdish targets it follows previous asterix on sunday night at risk increasing friction with the Iraqi Government same question reports.
