Powerful u. S. Attorney whos investigating president Donald Trumps allies it says he will not resign despite a replacement being named. And struggling to preserve tradition we meet the iraqi craftsman whose work is at risk of becoming a thing just. Suffers a setback to its return from coronavirus lock down several athletes from Major League Baseball to professional golf have tested positive despite being in socalled sporting bubbles. So to be called the Racial Justice that began weeks ago in the United States is echoing through other parts of the world for another weekend crowds out right now in the french capital some of the messages called for justice for anybody my bar whos a black man who died in a Police Operation in 2000. The 19th and in the scottish capital of Edinburgh People have gathered to call for the removal of the melville monuments which commemorates a politician he resisted calls to end the slave trade and in the United States for statues have been torn down in different cities this was washington d. C. Where crowds cheered as the only confederate general statue in the capitol was toppled and then set on fire. There are also protests taking place in london is there with the marches 90 once again protesters around the country demanding change. Thats right this is just the latest in a whole series over a number of weeks of brought back lives months of protests there have been bigger crowds here several 100 people marching through Central London towards parliament were also seeing a number of more localized protests to try to keep the momentum up that one development that weve seen this week is that Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has announced a new commission into racial equality a lot of his critics are saying weve had a whole series of reports reviews commissions over the last 20 years back in 1999 after the killing of a teenager Stephen Lawrence one big National Report concluded that the police were institutionally racist some people are asking what has been instituted whats been implemented since then of course perceived police bias and to the death of a number of black people in Police Custody has been one of the burning issues not just in the u. S. But here in britain and not even a cool is not nice from the Prime Minister say that the focus should not be on symbols of the polls but on more on the substance of efforts to combat racism. Thats right but thats exactly what hes coming under fire for for right now not just the. Announcement of a new commission which could take years not just the fact that for example black men are twice as likely to die of covered 19 and even when you remove geographical and social factors. But some of the statements by his ministers like this week we heard. Dominic robb the foreign secretary apparently ignorant of the origin of taking money suggesting it came from the game of thrones t. V. Program and being accused of best insensitivity because he said that it was in his opinion a sign of subjugation these protests is having doing it at every single demonstration in solidarity with people like george floyd so thats going down pretty badly so i think its back to actions not words very far not only there for the moment thanks very much indeed for that update from london as protests continue cross the United Kingdom and indeed in europe where the protests of turn the spotlight on britains record on Police Brutality as well as its colonial past forcing many to question the way history is being taught so new this. The studio of denzel forest is a gateway into vivid scenes of black British Culture huge a massive canvases portraying life in londons Africa Caribbean Community in the 1980 s. And its tensions with the police. Many of his paintings include the figure of his friend winston rose he died in 1901 after being restrained by several Police Officers who were taking him to a Psychiatric Hospital the whole thing was so horrific they got him down on the furrow i think what they usually shove their fingers up your nostrils to cut your passage up and kill him in the back garden and then. They have to carry him from the back garden to different. While roses deaths shocked him forrester had also experienced police harassment. You dont actually realize its happening when its happening to you. For decades on statues of british slave traders have come crashing down and many are asking how does the nations history of conquest colonies and empire sit with people today when you strip away the jingoism from British Colonial history a series of very uncomfortable truths began to emerge the statues of its prominent figures seem out of place such as this one here behind me of robert clive the reply was a man who looted and plundered the region of bengal for the east India Company it was an act that led to direct british rule over india and also to devastating subsequent waves of famines and massacres in the name of empire millions suffered hardship and subjugation historians say when imperial britain began to dismantle the racism at its core still prevailed that was because your mom. Was. No us. And we. Dont realize. The various tenet has campaigned to make state education reexamined british history and include other perspectives which have until now been lacking. I think the ways in which you understand British Empire its from a very perspective that celebrates i guess the achievements of the west doesnt kind of center the experiences of those who actually suffered through it britain may still have a long way to go to reconcile its past but recent events suggest many believe the time to reflect and reevaluate has come so new diagonal aljazeera london millions of americans have marked the end of slavery a day known as juneteenth. Writers numerous cities cut off nearly a month for black lives matter protests which was sparked by the death of george floyd he died while in Police Custody went to meet Minneapolis Office and knelt on his neck. Well President Trump is preparing to hold his 1st Campaign Rally since the corona Virus Outbreak some residents and businesses trying to stop saturdays events and tells us over concerns he could wesson the pandemic but oklahomas top coat says that it can go ahead but as rob reynolds reports the president s decision to hold the running in a city which saw one of the worst racial attacks in u. S. History has also provided its widespread anger. Supporters of President Donald Trump have camped out for days outside the arena in tulsa 2 whether by choice or lack of historical knowledge President Trump has chosen to kick off his Reelection Campaign in a city notorious for racist violence and mass murder in 1021 tolsons prosperous greenwood neighborhood was known as black wall street when rumors spread about an encounter between a black teenage boy and a white girl armed gangs of whites rampage through greenwood killing and burning planes dropped incendiary bombs witnesses said some tulsa Police Officers set fire to homes and businesses while others stood by without intervening up to 300 africanamericans were killed people saw bodies. Lined up on the sand bars in the Arkansas River and people talked about how bodies washed up downstream. And their people who said they saw people being tossed into mass graves. In 2020 toso remain segregated with a history of racially discriminatory policing as protests over the killing of george floyd in minneapolis seethed a senior toles a Police Officer said this in a radio interview. In 2016 a black man named turns crutcher was shot and killed by a white policewoman while standing next to his vehicle crutcher was unarmed the officer was acquitted of manslaughter Tiffany Crutcher is terences twin sister in the same policing culture that burnt down my great grandmothers community black wall street also known as the Greenwood Community is the same culture that continues to persist the day the same culture they killed my twin brother trump one oklahoma overwhelmingly in 2016 why then hold a rally in a state hell almost certainly carry again. Once. And interest i keep wants. I think a large part of the president s reelection effort is going to be. The strategy could back fire brand the middle of a pandemic and this will be the 1st large event as weve shut down everything after this family and it turns out there is a significant outbreak of 1000. 00 among. I think thats really going to put into jeopardy the president s strategy its a volatile combination the history of massacre a bitterly divided nation on edge and a deadly virus spreading fast with a president poised to stir up the brew rob reynolds aljazeera.

These cases and an investigation into giuliani have concern to the trumpet ministration on friday night attorney general william announced berman was leaving his position saying that the president intends to nominate jay clayton the current chairman of the securities and Exchange Commission a lawyer with no experience as a prosecutor statement ending by thanking Jeffrey Berman describing him as stepping down after 2 and a half years of service the only problem is Jeffrey Berman says hes not going anywhere releasing his own statement i learned in a press release from the attorney general tonight that i was stepping down as United States attorney i have not resigned and have no intention of resigning my position the trumpet ministration has a growing reputation for forcing out anyone seen as disloyal in recent weeks the president has fired a number of agency watchdogs including the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community whose actions led to the impeachment inquiry but offered no explanation for attempting to replace berman a republican who once donated to Trumps Campaign democrats have accused barr of politicizing the department of justice and acting more like trumps personal lawyer by our right.

Demonstrations are being held in the greek capital in a show of support for World Refugee day the United Nations estimates there are a now around 120000 displaced People Living in the country greaseball the brunt of europes migrant crisis with more than a 1000000 refugees arriving on its shores between 2015 to 2016 so many demonstrations are taking place in paris france is one of europes main destinations for refugees and migrants its estimated there are more than 370000 displaced people currently living there. Well 20 people are displaced every minute somewhere in the world thats according to the u. N. Refugee agency which has released its latest figures to coincide with World Refugee day 79 and a half 1000000 people have been displaced because of war persecution and human rights abuses 40 percent of them under the age of 18 and in the past year alone 10000000 people were forced from their homes turkey still has the largest number of refugees at 3600000 people followed by colombia and then by talk of stun its well people in the Worlds Largest refugee camp are confronting an even more dismal forecasts monsoon rain is the new threat for more than a 1000000 reinjure living on bangladeshs border with minimal aid workers have already warned of a disastrous toll from refugees contracting covert 19 at a time when the World Health Organization says that infections are accelerating at a dangerous rate how much as this report. Its monsoon season in the Worlds Largest refugee settlement for the rohingya who live here one of the most vulnerable populations in the world and already dire situation grows even worse. Were in trouble now when it rains water enters my house we cant sleep properly we have to keep our children on our shoulders at midnight if it rains. But the weather isnt the only thing keeping mohammad awake at night far more worrying for him and his family is the threat posed by coated 19. If there are hopeless were not going out. With following instructions of the government for dozens of refugees have tested positive for corona virus since the 1st case was confirmed in the camps in mid may concerned about the devastating toll coated 1000 could take on the regime to the United NationsRefugee Agency has been working hard to construct isolation shelters and quarantine facilities but people live cheek to jowl and very crowded circumstances they often say that the population density of the camp is double that of manhattan so you can imagine demick diseases are quite hard to control the district of coxs bazaar where the refugee settlements are located was placed in lockdown in early april according to u. N. H. C. R. Bangladesh while lifesaving and critical activities in the camps continue the presence of humanitarian workers has been cut by 80 percent in an attempt to reduce transmission of the virus but maybe the thing to really emphasize is the role of the refugee volunteers because when youre really rely on word of mouth to spread information has to be in a language that people understand. With the internet largely shut down in and around the camps this volunteer cyclist is ensuring Rohingya Refugees are kept up to date. As part of a Program Sponsored by the International Organization for migration in bangladesh he rides around with a megaphone slung over his shoulder trying to spread hope at a time of increasing despair. And does either. Well you know s. K. Says that arab states most affected by migration in displacement the region accounts for only 5 percent of the worlds population that makes up 32 percent of the number of refugees globally and 38 percent of people from the region have been internally displaced because of conflicts its been now its around me corey whose political analyst professor of journalism at the American University of beirut joins us on skype from the lebanese capital rami this figures those percentages a shocking arent they 5 percent of the population but 32 percent of refugees is a tragic indictment of instability in the region. That isnt a trophy the fact that this is about the only region in the entire world that has a as a whole region with the exception of tunisia is nondemocratic and doesnt have a really democratic participatory Accountable Government its a region full of top hovey autocratic governments that have long camouflage their core ability to run their country sufficiently and equitably for all their citizens by the spurts of growth that were largely driven by oil money thats now finished and the real were in the reality is coming clear that most of these countries have not been able to sustain their citizens either in a reasonable economic a Socio Economic condition or with political dignity and Human Dignity and then youve got a whole series of wars starting with the arms really conflict of the 1940 s. Which was the original big refugee driver and then all the other ones now libya yemen syria with massive external intervention this is one of the areas of the world that is constantly involved in Foreign Military invasions which we see now the french the americans the russians the turks the iranians you know everybody and their brother is sundering their army here or their surrogate forces and so all of these factors together explain why there are so many displaced and turn allee displaced. Refugees outside their borders and these mass population movements across National Borders represent the most widespread wave of violent displacement in the region since world war one that the incredible thing and they flee from war torn nation into other nations but then create further tensions in the host countries than them. Well thats right and this is a had this is human nature all over the world when you get refugee populations. That are you have to host in your country you normally do it initially out of humanitarian impulses especially of the refugees or are similar to you is like in the arab world its of refugees from iraq or jordan or palestine or lebanon or syria go into those other countries though they tend to welcome them initially but after a while the tensions happen people start competing for scarce jobs limited social Services Limited places and schools water issues ive seen this in my own life several times and jordan and lebanon and syria and powerless son in iraq ive watched Host Communities welcome refugees from arab countries and then after a while tensions build up and then they start blaming them for all all of the problems that become easy scapegoats for for the problems of those countries so this is not a peculiar to the arab world its pretty much a human nature issue for foreign nations that very much part of the cause but said the International Capability to manage this crisis clearly also. Well when for the short. I think its the magnitude of the challenge you have now around theres around 400000000. 00 arabs and their countries and about 60000000. 00 now its probably closer to 75000000. 00 with the pressures of the last year with the covert and American Economic slowdown about 75000000 arabs need some kind of humanitarian aid just to stay alive that water food medicine and shelter thats an incredible figure that need aid so this is become such a big magnet to good issue that the host governments of course arent dealing with it sufficiently sometimes not at all and the International Community just has too many other conflicts around the world. You know theyre hanging on and some trail africa all over the world you have refugee problems as well and thats just a suma nature again that you cannot cope with so much distress and try to help everybody so people try to choose where they can perhaps make the most difference so the answer of course is not only perpetual humanitarian aid the answer is to stop these wars and bring about somehow better governance so these countries can be normal countries again which they were for many years you know the our world has not always been like this but its really only in the last 30 years that weve had this massive expansion of refugees other them of course the original one which was the there of this really conflict with the creation of israel driving out the Palestinian Refugees in 47 and 48 and theyre still in camps and i see them here in beirut and in jordan so this is mostly a reason recent phenomena in the last 30 years or so and the numbers are as you say truly off the scale it is a tragic story but rami khouri we do pretty overspray from this thank you very much.

The war in syria made his family refugees in their country he also lost his son. Its been 4 years since of the man disappeared while traveling to neighboring lebanon his taxi driver told the family he was taken at a government checkpoint. Please help me tell me where he is i just want to hear his voice i dont know anything about him i just want to know if hes alive or that. There are many others in a similar position human Rights Groups have documented the detention abduction and forced disappearance of at least 130000 syrians most had taken part in peaceful protests when the uprising began in 2011. Calls by the you and other organizations for their release from government jails have grown louder with the spread of coronavirus in late march syrian president bashar assad issued an amnesty for some crimes without mentioning Political PrisonersRights Groups say the decree was a tactic to avoid International Pressure they have documented the release of less than 100 people jailed for common crimes while more than 100 were arrested in the same period. It was the 18th amnesty issued and still 130000. 00 Political Prisoners are in jails are also been deaths due to torture despite the embassys the us a government denies holding prisoners of conscience and torturing detainees to death in secret Security Prisons but u. N. Investigators say tens of thousands of people have disappeared and may no longer be alive some who survived like dr mohamed al are turning to an ally of bashar assad for help. He wrote a letter to russian president Vladimir Putin which was published in the russian media. Him to pressure bashar assad to release that arbitrary b. Ball the most the bill so far email is empty they didnt provide me and the response so far but i did my you duty actually. Hold them accountable actually years of campaigning have done little to pressure the government to release the prisoners or allow independent monitors into Detention Centers if you believe anything will change for a mans mother there doesnt seem to be any end to her pain. Beirut well lets hear now from our. Policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies he says its unlikely that prisoners will be released in the near future. This has been one of the most important issues and this. 9 years all conflict no. Reason has always used torture and detention as a tool an order to terrorize and been allies its all going to us and if you look back like that it is a go at the United States hasnt acted act one important component of that act actually was put into business and in syria it was actually designed in order to put pressure on the Syrian Regime in order to release those people who have been detained and then the main wanted of that act was in fact the photos the 55000 photos of more than 11000 people who have been tortured to death and in. And out. And so i think this is about to be one important issue and in the coming weeks and months that its going to be discussed cd and the media and also and discussed it with the discussions between the different political actors and syria these set and this citys are mainly and its not its not designed for but its Good Business i think that asian is holding those people actually in order to use them as a tool to depressurize the position and also d for if you will share deep and. Exchange it with political concessions so i think that ideally dealt at that asian with reviews and he built a business before a final solution to this crisis is that each costa ricas government is a whole team the reopening of its economy after a rise in the number of new cases the Tourism Department has been urging the government to reopen the board with which were closed until june 30th the Central American nation has already seen 100000 jobs lost since the president declared a state of emergency back in mid march.

Has built for additional furniture from palm fronds his precise moves other result of generations of expertise passed down from his father and grandfather but now the trade is a disc of dying out. While my children havent learned it and i dont want to learn it my eldest son abbas he tried but he prefers to work as a porter at construction sites.

The selling point for this company is quality and the made in iraq label its workshop of a dozen employees who work on modern versions of traditional iraqi furniture. But convincing customers to pay extra remains a challenge and lowering the price would require scale and an environment that supports private Sector Investment on the way. In my opinion the state isnt focused on industry if it was that offer the role materials provide land provide investment licenses often machines particular workers with the social. The new government has made private Sector Development one of its priorities but if a craftsman like. Trade is about to vanish such initiatives may come too late to want to fall to aljazeera but the.
