A far right terrorist atrocity back in 2011 locals claimed though it seemed the haunting survivors say its a fitting tribute. I dont want to make you more. People who dont want to remember to remember every single day. Just to me you know so good afternoon from russia sort of the 5th of june 2020 love for martys world news h. Q. Moscow is kevin with you to take you through the headlines for the next 30 minutes. Days of anger and rage of turned a silent tribute to the 1st memorials been held for george floyd whose death at the hands of police has led us society to question its racial divide at a level not seen in years mourners stood for 8 minutes 46 seconds thats the time during which an officer knelt on georges neck ultimately choking him to death hundreds were outside the chapel too to pay their respects while thousands continue to come out in cities across the country in mostly peaceful protests. In new york state a 75 year old mans been hospitalized after being aggressively shoved by a Police Officer causing him to fall it hit his head on the ground are about to see next. Here who are enforcing the curfew and that happened just 2 officers have since been suspended without pay the Police Departments version of events reported locally says the man tripped and fell on his own. While racism and Police Brutality are at the heart of the unrest many agree the catalyst has been poverty and economic inequality over the recent years high profile protest against that has been simmering since the occupy wall Street Movement of most nearly a decade ago as caleb maupin explains. City after city has erupted in anger and protest after the killing of george floyd it started with an unjust and tragic killing by police much like events in baltimore and ferguson however its pretty clear that now the protests have an economic component take a look at whats happening in soho Beverly Hills and other high end shopping districts thanks. On the militarized streets one chance has caught on tape all right thanks ok its got a familiar ring to it one can flashback 9 years to occupy wall street. Occupy wall street was about mass unemployment it was about bias among courts and Law Enforcement and a lack of accountability among the powerful in the United States economic inequality is hitting the Africanamerican Community harder than ever the rate of coded 1000. 00 infection among africanamericans is much higher on august billionaires have gotten through richer amid the pandemic the Unemployment Rate has risen to 20 percent and that disproportionately affects africanamericans not surprising that the sentiments of occupy wall street are peeling right now thank her for the right price. Rise. Was. Wrong. Thanks i think i was like a right guy thanks is what the my decision was i i havent changed very much sense that my hair was certainly a lot longer and i was among the demonstrators taking it all in we need to design our own blueprint and we need to start implementing it in the streets parallels between the 2 movements one primarily. White the other primarily africanamerican cannot be overlooked if the similarities were not striking and now take a look at the fact that the george floyd protesters just had a standoff with the n. Y. P. D. With mass arrests taking place on a bridge connecting brooklyn and manhattan talk of. Ok the now to be fair the police are dealing with a lot more street fighting and looting than they did during occupy wall street but odowd the u. S. Was not 100 percent peaceful either and in both cases the response to the protesters has been pretty heavy handed repression. Of. The the. That the. Fact that. We found out many things its like a movement and its a movement that if you dont put it down it will get worse and worse this is like occupy wall street it was a disaster in 21 day somebody said thats enough and they just went in and wiped them out and thats the last time we ever heard the name occupy wall street point of view of the of the government and the parties is a very obvious turn of events when people are beginning to focus on the neo liberal power configuration and the failure of the economy to be able to provide the basic human needs this is not just about george floyd that of course was the trigger but thousands of people were in the streets in the streets because they have received their lives flight george floored me look so theres a real anger in the population in these young people out there in the streets of the out there because they are beginning to make certain connections in those connections are way beyond anything called just is just for this one individual george floor. As well as the Police Citizens are patrolling the streets in minneapolis as well off to stores were looted the same standing guard on street corners and outside shops insisting that trying to protect the community. What were doing here is were protecting and drawing our neighborhood after the riots started out and south of minneapolis we have a conscious decision while the police were handing out over there that we were going to come together as well as many of our community and protect our buildings here and protect our families on our show that weve lost one building sense of this all started i came out here because its about damn time that. You know guys like me guys you know would be viewed as just a heavily armed redneck and stuff like. Its good with fellow citizens regardless of race regardless of whether we are in the same local community or not its time we stand together. The total tribes former defense secretary slammed the president s hardline response to the nationwide rallies over George Floyds death james mattis accuses trump of dividing instead of uniting the nation are to america has been sworn into of insurer discuss the extraordinarily candid remarks. Rings so hollow to me when you have a secretary of defense and a general former general who essentially was carrying out a war that was never approved by congress that led to the deaths of millions of people across syria and who wanted to remain there and continue to fight wars in syria and across the middle east this is hardly a man of peace who is making these statements the mainstream corporate left in this car in this country you know always seems to forget you know i mean look of it theyre the ones who elevated david frum and the you know other neo con types from the Bush Administration just because they agreed with them and going after donald trump so theyll elevate anyone just that they can attack their opposition in this case donald trump and the republicans the republicans would do the same thing you know thats the problem with the 2 party system in this country is that they have very short memories when it comes to whos throwing stones and whos throwing bricks to essentially have are 2 parties that had the same Foreign Policy view which is that any country around the world where we can bomb we probably should bomb and its certainly those countries in the middle east but ridge hollow to me is that you have all these folks across the country right now who are talking about black lives matter and certainly they do but lives in other countries matter as well and what youre not going to hear any politician say is that peoples lives in iraq matter or in syria matter or even that or they dont think that they genuinely believe that those peoples lives are truly expendable and because they are not consistent in that it demonstrates that they dont actually believe that black lives matter either they simply think it is political expedience to say so but i think of the late great comedian George Carlin one side the United States is very good at bombing brown people and clearly with the rise of black lives matter were also very good at oppressing brown people here at home so i think everybody has to be very careful with what they say and what stones they throw in this thing especially generals who led charges in Foreign Countries abroad in the under the under the name of american empire. Frances joining the Global Reaction to Police Violence a 2000 strong rally in the city of lille was reportedly tear gassed by police on thursday as well as sympathy and anger over George Floyds killing the french have similar stories to tell and they claim officers are going on punished charlotta bensky reports next. With riots in the u. S. And disco tearing fronts over racism within the police the french government is vowing to throw the book at any officer who exhibits the slightest sign of racism. We have to ensure that every fault there can be something every excess every word including racist expressions is investigated. Punished and im uncompromising on this subject because the requirements we have for Police Officers who are wrong is precisely to get into the serenity of the work of the entire police force is. Clear do you think the many cause that thats the law and i think the fuel to the fire is this video showing seeing a following in arrest in paris that many have likened to whats happened to test floyd in the us police in paris just speak the accusations saying it was a complicated arrest of an individual who was under the influence of drugs and alcohol the cry of no more has become much more vocal here in france over 20000 people were gathered here on tuesday to voice their anger over actions like this and also the death of a black man while in custody in 2016 a dam a troll or a case his family say that is similar to george troy 2 stacks place fixation sparked days of violent protests. Just to be on the they were put in charge calm down took the weight of 3 policemen on the bridge boy took the weight of 3 policemen on him they had the same words i cant breathe i cant breathe i called purines was the slogan many carried on pluck out in the protest tape which had been forbidden by the authorities truck or his family disputes medical reports that have exonerated the officers involved in these arrests pointing to an independent report that they commissioned which states that like floyd of this fixation the anger felt hate by protesters was clear and it wasnt long before that tension spilled over. The french government has been quick to react pointing out that france is not a racist country and shouldnt be compared to the us. There isnt a situation of a state violence in our country and i dont think we can say that he had these other incidents when theyre at us committed by members of the police chief as the interior minister has always said they were investigated and when the sanctions what us are determined the government has also called for coleman keen to point out the protest of drawers death was banned for health and safety not political reasons the protesters say its time france woke up to its own unspoken legacy of the thieves and impunity because i think that you want to say that the friendship to asia is not comparable to that of the United States although she wants to stifle the struggles of justice they are supporters of the system system those who do not want things to change conditions but those who want things to continue to have a place you want to know as has been the case for 14 years. It isnt the systemic impunity that police and john doerr when it comes to the inhabitants of working class neighborhoods. Rallies against racism and Police Brutality are commonplace here but to see these protests with the city of thousands and thousands of people is considered by some to have been moved to a shared moment and the anger that was spilling out hasnt yet it seems being quelled show it deep in ski r. T. Paris. Its exactly 60 minutes past the hour now coming up in here in our to international after the break after being told to stay away from work because of a potentially deadly virus know to make it easier on employers the European Commission says maybe its not so bird as we report 90 seconds away. The spiral downwards depending on who you believe in the media the civil unrest in america is the result of systematic racism this explains protests and writing but doesnt the commanding heights controlling the Financial System media and the Business World are loath to admit it its the economy stupid for them to raise all these. Seemed wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape out just being ethical and engagement because the trail. Went something and find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Again weve all very much of the message drilled into us about the threats of infection from the coronavirus by the European Commission is coming in for criticism for classifying covert 19 is only a midlevel menace to workers its all part of getting business moving again as our europe correspondent peter all of the reports. If you cast your mind spock just a few moments the main message coming out of the view is that the cautions with the number one priority here in europe we are heavily affected by the virus. The borders of the entrance of the European Union. Will be closed. Without a valid risen traveling in and out of the country no longer. The risk level has risen from moderate to high hateful people in the European Union now top brussels made the decision to retire coronavirus as they made level threats now while that doesnt make the virus any less contagious what it does mean is in the eyes of the e. U. Commission the threat posed to work by covert 19 is now categorized as being very high the existence of the absence of prophylaxis cannot be considered as a standalone criterion employers will still have to provide this stuff with a safe working environment when it comes to protective equipment and social distancing but the change in wording leaves business less open to legal action takes on the job faction the move comes as some employees in germany are already far from happy with the conditions they have to work in 00000. 00 people came out and worked every day from the early dawn with no medical masks covering the amounts crammed in baskets sometimes they would give us that sometimes there was c at the same time they were being insulted while in the field and treated. I dont know who is not even from the peak they have their designated pay i think 400 furious. The socialist and Democrats Group in the European Parliament are buying this move by the u. Commission we strongly oppose a decision by the commission to classify code 19 only as a mid level hazard could be 1000 is the biggest help to challenge of our lifetime p. S. May well overturn the move when its put to a vote in parliament the European Commission insists that theyve made the right decision after consulting with scientists at the World Health Organization but that doesnt fly with the latest messaging from the w. H. O. When it comes to the seriousness of the risk the e. U. Labels this a level 3 virus meaning as usually affective prevention or treatment available while the w. H. O. Believes there is no cure in the forseeable future or drugs either as of nanda has no evidence that any drug actually reduces the mortality in patients who have called it 19 and in fact its an argent priority for all of us to do the needed studies to do the randomized Clinical Trials births even the president of the European Council has said the decision how does much to do with the economy as it ever have to do with Health Everything should be done to reach an agreement before the summer break our citizens and businesses have been heavily impacted by the pandemic really targeted relief. The European Union has taken a pounding from the corona virus and tens of thousands of families of hearts of bury loved ones ultimately this comes down to finding that point where by saving the economy from an irreversible decline always concerns over public health. In my opinion there is no. Thing is what the European Community says is the medium level threat of the virus nobody can say so we dont know this wireless its been 6 months we dont know the behavior of this wireless its contagion how develops and we dont have a treatment for it either as search this is a political and financial measure more than anything the you commission has labeled it a 3rd category managed which is to say low danger i have doubts about it time will tell the heat and the quarantine measures imposed in each country have led to a certain overall improvement and this by the senator of conditions of peach country at any moment complications main merge and the tide will turn. A memorial to terrorism victims in norway is expected to open next year on the 10th anniversary of a far right atrocity there but theres been fierce dispute in recent years over it with locals calling the memorial invasive saying its only going to reopen old wounds. Ive. Read the. News and its outrage shame that norwegian government is still struggling to start. At least virus extra strong to get a rational hour ago. And there was a great resistance among the local people is it was mostly mostly live close the kids who are afraid the memorial will bring an ongoing reminder of the tragedy that just collided so he mentioned that this will be a place for the whole world to cheneys beanpole glory of people and russians will be calling here as they bring in all the tourists coming to us every time it was a way to risk our guarding got strategy and now its starting again i. Think i think that a good decision is you know we made by the state of the neighbors opinion has not been heard at all. Right now talking about making the memorial site smaller less to make it more people that i dont want to make a mark up to the whole point of memorials are. People who dont want to remember to remember every single day this happe
