Possible u. S. Sanctions over a pipeline project with russia calling the restrictions an unlawful interference. So good afternoon for russians is r. T. International live from a world view sage q. Moscow is kevin 0 in with me for the next to this wednesday starting in france where nationwide rallies by Health Care Workers in the past 24 hours so some ugly scenes tens of thousands turned to remind the government about its pledge to help medical staff and support hospitals but not all of it passed by peacefully as youre about to see. Then video showing a nurse being injured during a Violent Arrest at the rally in paris a spot furious reaction online it was reported that she was detained for throwing projectiles we can report to 2 camera operators from r. T. France were injured while filming some of that unrest when people began throwing stones at the police both receive treatment for medical workers who were at the rally. When it comes to policing offices in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods the governments backtrack then on completely banning chokeholds after opposition from offices more on that front show the dubin ski. Francis interior minister promised 0 tolerance on 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 in the us free stuff yesterday even. During his speech. That 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 head or neck protesters hailed asked in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions describe the technique as essential. My colleagues who used the choke hold 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 unions demanding talks officers turned out in protest throwing their hand cuffs. On the butt of what i thought well so were 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 but want to know how do we proceed with individuals who refused to be arrested were under the effect 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 chokehold and the danger 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 but youre right about. Most 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 once 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. For us is he told in a row over whether or not the force is all racist too or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control friends suspects being severely beefed up just in your last year is a real problem of racism theres a document check principle based on appearance there is a certain cover up of the problem is their denial is institutional in nature republican not exist without the police which means it is necessary to act and it is necessary to act quickly to 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 streets this indicates a serious problem a significant function in our public. Letting you know to place a forms also on the cards in the United States will talk about that very soon president truman signed an executive order to overhaul Law Enforcement to partially departments nationwide details ahead. North koreas threatening to send troops into the demilitarized border zone all but wiping out a deal to reduce tensions with the south that was agreed barely 2 years ago on choose day the north blew up the only negotiations outpost between the 2 countries sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new low. They artillery units deployed at the level of the from guard duty to top class combat duty system through the front line and will resume all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary if the north actually takes such a move it will certainly pay the price for it. The demolition of that post in the border town of khowst song was shown on north korean t. V. Theres been weeks of dispute with the south which claims for stalled peace talks and failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda but the north ultimate day could be about attracting attention from much further afield as he goes down off explains next. 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 tulips between the neighbors well instead it is literally being blown away now here is a very unequivocal message from kim jong un sr the measure of completely destroying the norse sols joint Liaison Office chris ponce 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 the Liaison Office was tragically ruined was a terrific explosion. It comes amid an escalation between the 2 neighbors pyongyang for instance has been ramping up threats to move in the 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 u. S. Chief executive with another package to be used for achievements without receiving any returns nothing is more hypocritical than an empty promise i think its just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda lets which they say thats why they did it 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 their kind of the last hell marry attempt to really get americas attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the u. S. Now so i think thats why they 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 road but well its not really gotten us anything and were still being hurt by the sanctions are khana me its 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. Theres anger in the German Parliament of the United States over threatened sanctions linked to the major nordstrom to gas pipeline project with russia head of the economic and Energy Affairs committee wants the government to consider countermeasures is the europe correspondent peter all of a. Well this latest move by the United States has caused across the political divide here in germany earlier in the week because we have 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 not project that though is straight up a legal 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 in the legal system in europe and theres also a german absorbency 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 face in 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 29000 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. The trade relations 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 there they say that 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 the. Next war is this is going to be a story to watch 20 indian soldiers have been killed in hand to hand clashes with Chinese Forces in a disputed himalayan the border area its the 1st deadly encounter between them in the region for at least 4 decades china and india have long disputed control of territory with air patrols often coming into contact resulting in occasional skirmishes for its part chinas not so whether its troops other than the casualties both sides blame each other for starting the fighting those moves from china itself related tighter measures in the cap.

Police reform in the United States is in motion President Trump signed an executive order to overhaul Police Departments across the country its the strongest federal level action yet the now after weeks of often violent unrest 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 what 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 as your solution there was not like just was there any legislation and no knock warrants.

The president has now signed an executive order banning the use of the chokehold 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 his moves trumps executive order is too thin this and meaningless we dont need studies when he believes that commit crimes to be punished all police that use chokeholds claimed their lives were threatened whats new this attempt to calm things down f
