All this comes just weeks after 2 students were violently dragged from their car by 6 Atlanta Police officers charges against the students were dropped 4 of the officers were fired and all 6 Face Criminal Charges now the city is facing another crisis following the shooting of rae shot brooks his family lawyer says the receiver is questions about what happened we talked to some Witnesses Today who said that the officers went in put on plastic gloves and picked up their cell casings after they killed before and during it.

Well i think that us history will show us and tell us that when we saw the ramping up the war on drugs and mass incarceration in the eightys and ninetys that you know we saw Public School budgets big slashed we saw the social safety net continue to be slashed and so we need to see investment thats actually want to clean up the mess that the one drugs have made in our communities we need to see those investments be made and jobs and housing i mean in advance and you literally walk around and see people in tents sleeping on the street and that makes no sense to me when police heartful institution is given so much money but we felt invested in the livelihoods and wellbeing of our people and we also want to see an investment and making sure that people are ok during cold that and unless that mentality that police and outside force should be dominating our communities this change were going to continue to see more of our people get killed and experience Police Violence and state niland in our communities and so with that mindset it is no surprise then that he would Say Something like thats how White Supremacy thinks and operates its all domination that you know stems from colonisation and so you know were in a time right now where the ordinary just wont do and every day people are sick of police dominating our communities british Prime Minister barak zones and has condemned a far right demonstration in london as racist froggery violence broke out between far right groups and anti racism protesters who were holding a counter rally some of the far right crowd also attacked Police Officers trying to keep the 2 sides apart so youre going to go reports. They came they set to protect a monument. A statue of churchill that had already been boarded up to prevent vandalism thousands of far right supporters from various organizations descended on parliament square. The same crowds who voiced anger at damage done to start shoes attacking policemen and women was the. Pelting them with objects fireworks even using broke barriers that were meant to keep them apart from another march organized by anti racism groups. But some broke away. Scores of Police Officers moved into position to stop further breakouts of violence theres already been scenes of tension between those far right organizations and the police that protest itself meanwhile what the black lives Matter Movement here whats do is focus on the issues rather than any possible eruptions between them and the far right organizations the. One way the black lives movement did that organizing smaller marches across the country. But even in those marches such as this one in the Northern City of new cos all the far right also issued out their own calls looking for confrontation throwing flares and taunting the police the events in the us have triggered debates about the state of Race Relations in britain but there are elements of society who violently resent that. Found by far right leaders under the guise of patriotism they would rather provoke than meaningfully engage. Sunit i have all aljazeera london. Riot police in front so far tear gas to disperse a largely peaceful protest against racism and Police Brutality. Dozens of people defied a band to join the march in. Central paris the rally was led by supporters of adama is a french black man who died in Police Custody in 2016 under circumstances which remain unclear no one has been charged despite multiple autopsies. Personally ive never had a bad experience with the police but im not going to lie to you yes im scared of the police i dont want to put all Police Officers in the same camp there are good Police Officers but the problem today is that there are too many bad ones so of course as a person of color when i walk in front of the police i feel bad im scared and above all when you see the videos you think to yourself that could happen to me. Meanwhile police have converged on the arc de triomphe in central paris in defiance of the government theyre resisting moves to implement reforms including the suspension of officers accused of racist acts it comes days after just the interior minister promised a 0 tolerance policy for racism within french Law Enforcement the noisy of the get up with coming back here we want people to know that the police if it up the police the time the tired of being stigmatized we just want to get on with their work normally theres often and you might have seen at the rally that colleagues were attacked we had several injured this afternoon so enough is enough at some point the message from politicians has to be coherent with what they expect from the police force. That are fears of a coronavirus resurgence in China Health Authorities have recorded the highest daily number of infections since april parts of beijing on and on lockdown after dozens of people tested positive after visiting a wholesale food market for more on this lets speak to debian gopalan in hong kong just bring us up to date with what the latest is on these numbers 1st of all. Right as so about 38. 00 of those cases are from the markets are being traced to that market that you mentioned and around 17 are said to be imported from a flight from a bundle of their ship to from dhaka to which is a Southern Province which is so the Southern Provinces now banned flights from a bungler there as theyre trying to contain those imported cases but going after the cases in beijing which is causing a lot of concern because of the sheer number of people who could be infected from that cluster that originated that market there are concerns that the cases could actually be spread through the food and Food Packaging and thats where the virus came from so the government says theyre going to test the 10000 workers that work in that market it is one of asias biggest wholesale markets and they will also test people who have come into contact into that market with that markets from may 30th onward so this is a very large scale and devore that theyre trying to promote to end they are also saying that this is going to be a prolonged fight against the virus in the capital thats what the Health Ministers are saying so along with that that shut down about 11 nearby neighborhoods peoples movements will be restricted they wont be allowed to leave their homes and schools and kindergartens in the vicinity will also be shut down and public a major public facilities and sporting events will be shut down across the city so there is a sense that the government is really trying to contain this virus but its still unclear how far its spread already with cases detected are traced back to that market in 3 other provinces now rob the Chinese Government was determined to show that it was in control of the virus not long ago this is presumably going to raise questions about whether or not the lockdown that it brought in did come in too soon. Well robin that press conference that was given in the past hour the Health Ministry said that there were no 0 cases in beijing domestic cases in nearly 2 months so they had lifted a lot of restrictions the concern here is beijing has a population about 20000000 and many areas are very high density and the spread of this case resembles the start of the virus if you recall back at the end of last year in the city of one with a population of 11000000 in the coronavirus had 1st surfaces there at the markets also in the government put in draconian lockdown measures or what was seen as that at the time but since then many countries have followed suit to try and contain this virus now much of the country the government the Chinese Government did roll out this kind of a lockdown of this kind of restrictions across much of the country but also of concern was the economy and the people themselves who many of them if they couldnt work could put food on the table so eventually as the number of cases dropped they started lifting these restrictions because now the focus is going to be on testing so while they are putting in restrictions Movement Restrictions and isolating cities they are going to do a massive testing scheme across any areas which they say could be vulnerable to the virus as do their gopal and bring you updates on the situation in china from hong kong.

It is a bit of a surprise to hear the resignation of chillis Health Minister on saturday especially given the fact that she lays right now going through the worst phase of the corona Virus Outbreak in the country there but Health Minister mentally each is a somewhat of a controversial figure hes been heavily criticized for taking whats being criticized as a as a relaxed role for not implementing more robust mitigation measures to contain the spread of coronavirus in chile comparing the the efforts and she led to efforts in neighboring countries like argentina which implemented a total lockdown so the president of chile is have a stamp yet it has been under a lot of pressure from political opponents to replace the Health Minister all of that culminating now with the resignation of each but if we took if we look at right now just to reiterate a few of the of the statistics it was supposed to be an exception to the rule in latin america even before the outbreak began in the region latin america was expected to be ill prepared it was said that latin america spends less on Health Policy than any other country in the world there was an expectation that she would do better than most of the other countries in the region unfortunately what were seeing is that she led again is one of the worst hit countries in the region according to the latest statistics on over 167000 infections and 3101 deaths hundreds of people in cities across lebanon have protested for the 3rd consecutive day demanding the government resign over the countrys worst economic crisis in decades.

Many countries in the world australia doesnt know that history terribly well and it has a habit of. Think you think nice bit of a history of history that it doesnt like or that could cause tension or embarrassment or. Difficulty in the present and i think. What morrisons initial comment denying slavery my main and off the cuff remark that. Was it was simply a mistake. The fact that he retracted it very quickly i think realized it was a sign that he had realized that he really couldnt if theyd just as a nation because what he said was not true and in the evidence that its not true is compelling. So i rather than have a political fight have something to. It he offered this apology in the hope that the issue would go away to some degree that i have in other respects i think. What its done is just highlight they significance of any society knowing its history and also. Put into the australian mind the idea that it certain history is good and some of canadas Prime Minister just in today or has called for an investigation after police video emerged showing the Violent Arrest of an indigenous leader the footage has provoked outrage and sparked debate over Police Brutality and institutional racism david marr so reports from colorado. This was the moment Canadian Police arrested a prominent indigenous leader while one officer tries to grab chief alan adam a 2nd rushes in and tackles him once on the ground adam is punched in the face as his wife a nice plead with officers to stop on friday Prime Minister Justin Trudeau demanded an inquiry like many people i have serious questions about what happened the independent investigation must be transparent and be carried out so that we get answers Police Dash Cam footage shows adam being questioned about an expired license plate outside a casino early on march 10th chief adam accused the officer of harassing him and his wife the 12 minute video shows him swearing at the officer and taking a fighting stance before being jumped tackled to the ground adam released this photo after being released from Police Custody my point did not want to come forward with this he waited for a long time he was suffering from trauma and finally came forward because i think this is an example of the systemic racism that exists in north america it can no longer be denied adam himself spoke about as arrests during a solidarity march on june 6th for a pretty 110. 00 violation. I took the bird it. Got better the bruisers. For all the ortiz who could speak out have to alter it for local r. C. M. P. Canadas National Police force said officers used reasonable force when adams resisted arrest but after the video surfaced a senior official made an abrupt about face earlier this week i made the statement that i did not believe there was systemic racism within the r. C. M. P. Or canadian policing. I expressed my belief that racism is found in all aspects of our society in our institutions and in our police services. Adam is an outspoken indigenous leader known internationally for his work against Oil Sands Projects near his community but while his fame has focused public attention on discrimination and abuse of people of indigenous descent his experiences are all too common and bitterness people make up less than 5 percent of canadas population but they account for around a 3rd of the prison population and 30 percent of death in Police Custody the question is now what authorities will do about a system that many here say is racist david mercer aljazeera in Calgary Canada venezuelas Opposition Leader why do is refusing to recognize the appointment of a team that will oversee upcoming parliamentary elections the Supreme Court named new leaders for the National Electoral council a body that critics have repeatedly accused of favoring the Ruling Socialist Party opponents boycotted the vote in 2018 on grounds that it was rigged chinas art scene is one of the 1st to emerge from locked on galleries in beijing have reopened to showcase work reflecting the impact of the pandemic on everyday lives some artists are casting a critical eye on the way governments responded to the Health Crisis katrina you reports from beijing warring governments and a Global Pandemic these are themes explored in beijing to ensure his latest work he believes that World Leaders have used the coronavirus as a weapon to divide society i think this is really so really so sad People Network that together people find to each other.
