Attorney whos investigating president Donald Trumps allies refuses to resign despite efforts to remove him. And a worrying combination the threat of monsoon rain in corona virus for injured stuck in the worlds biggest refugee camp. So then a call for Racial Justice that began weeks ago in the United States is echoing through other parts of the world for another weekend its just gone 4 pm here thats the french capital of paris where crowds are marching to highlight issues with Police Brutality and in the scottish capital Edinburgh People are demanding the removal of the melville monument that commemorates a politician who resisted calls to end the slave trade and in the United States 4 statues have been torn down in different cities this was washington d. C. Where crowds cheered as the any confederate general statue in the capital was toppled there also protests in the u. K. s capital and its with the marches and the london 90 once again protesters gathering right around the country. Thats right nick there are different black lives much the protests for a 3rd weekend here in britain now there were several 100 people here in Parliament Square by Winston Churchill statue listening to speeches theyre making their way elsewhere now theres another group a larger group that gathered in hyde park in Central London theyre stressing the need for ideas to keep the momentum behind their movement some of the issues that weve heard raise of the fact that the British Government is providing things like tear gas and other equipment to Police Forces and Security Forces in the us which in their opinion of being used to brutalize Peaceful Protesters seen since the killing of george floyd theyve really put the accent though on activity and mobilizing people of all different backgrounds here in britain one of the slogans is the u. K. Has not innocent theyve been reminding people that there have been a number of deaths of black people in Police Custody where there has been no punishment or action taken against the officers involved theyve also been talking about the need to challenge racist behavior and language within the family setting theres a feeling of optimism from many of the young black protesters here that things are Getting Better in terms of. White people showing solidarity to people of color but that demanding that thats translated into real Political Action so its unclear how long the protests will continue like this but the issue certainly seems to be gaining traction and not even a couple of things i see mention the statue behind you Winston Churchill i see that the it was boarded up last weekend but its now its now been has been has been taken down also what about the governments response to all of this hows that been taken in the u k. Well i think that for many of the protesters the statues debate was something of a distraction of course there was go ficci on churchill statue saying he was a racist a few weeks ago taken off and that it was boarded up. Suppose it threats of it being pulled down just like a slave a statue was pulled down in bristol but i think in general what weve heard from the protesters and what weve heard in the why did debates on black lives matter in the u. K. Is that there a bit a number of reports going back decades including the macpherson reports in 99 which concluded that the police force was institutionally racist and the people feel that very its time for action whereas Boris Johnson the Prime Minister has Just Announced another commission into racial inequality people say you have the statistics you have the steps recommended you even have the wind rush report into the scandalous. Behavior of people of caribbean background some of whom were deported after being told that they were able to prove that they were british while living here for decades all of these things are out there you need to take steps to make inequality a thing of the past rather than continue talking.
