Plus 0 for workers across latin america challenge coronavirus working conditions they say a lack of personal protective equipment is putting their lives at risk. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program anger and grief over the killing of an unarmed africanamerican man in Police Custody have fueled protests across the United States for more than a week. Tens of thousands have turned out for peaceful marches but protests have turned violent at least 6 people have died across several u. S. Cities 4 Police Officers have been shot looters have burned buildings u. S. President trump has now vowed to deploy federal forces if governors and mayors cannot quell the violence President Trump chose the rose garden at the white house for a speech that was to become a show of force his response to the unrest gripping the nation in the weeks since george floyd was carers. If the city or state refuses to take the actions that are nurses surly to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them i am also taking swift and Decisive Action to protect our great capital washington d. C. Thats chump was speaking the d. C. Police were making good on that promise. Several 1000 demonstrators had gathered peacefully pretty legal protest in Lafayette Park across from the white house. On the streets of the u. S. Capitol. Backed up by mounted Police Officers. There the protesters were standing in the way of the u. S. President i take these actions today with firm resolve and with a true and passionate love for our country by far our greatest days lie ahead. Thank you very much and now im going to pay my respects to a very very special place trumps destination St Johns Church also across the road from the white house it was damaged by fire in unrest on sunday once there he had the bible aloft but to trump paying his respects didnt involve praying. They were great god its mighty good. To see whats going on is coming back coming back. To people greater than ever before. A promise to future greatness and a photo op trumps walkabout has already drawn shot criticism from his likely contender in november the president ial battle peaceful protesters. Dispersed in order for a president. Oppression from the doorstep of the peoples house the white house using tear gas d and flash grenades during this staged photo all we can be forgiven for believing the president is more interested in the power then in principle and the bishop of st johns. Said she was outraged by trumps face it calling protest sacred and accusing trump of using the holy scripture as a quote symbol of division. Well lets bring in reporter william glu croft who is following the developments in the United States for us to be authority to send in the military generally speaking active military forces cant be deployed in the United States without Congressional Authority its called the the posse comitatus act and that keeps active military out of United States however theres another act the insurrection act thats actually been used many dozen a few dozen times before in American History which the president can turn to to deploy active military forces weve seen this mostly in the Civil Rights Movement for example to eisenhower used it to to force the desegregation of schools when states like arkansas refused to do that we saw that and im sure 92. 00 l. A. Riots and we saw a george w. Bush use it after katrina but usually this comes with the request from the governors in this case what its looking like is donald trump might go ahead and do it without that request and that would be that would be seen as a very controversial move just because he can do it doesnt mean you necessarily should do it so what goes through i mean the actions that we have seen in the past days in the past 24 hours you know this photo op of him in front of the Church Holding up a bible dispersing the protesters threatening to send in the military really talking tough with the governors is this all playing to his base i mean is this with what it is really about its really hard to see what his strategy is if there is one all yes his base is noncollege educated white men and women largely in rule states these protests are happening in more diverse more left leaning urban areas so how this is playing out how this is being felt in places that certainly not all Trump Supporters but large Trump Supporters is something we dont yet know yet but he is alienating a lot of the people who traditionally allies himself with religious figures the police many police have been critical of his of his words even the Houston Police chief said if you dont have a basically bit of a nice to say dont say anything at all. They said that on c. N. N. So its hard to see where this might all be going joe biden his presumptive opponent in this years election is also seen as sort of the run of the mill mainstream white man that might appeal to many of trumps core voters so whether this can really play out for him politically is something that we were just going to have to see how that time america remains so angry about the killing of george floyd and the racial divisions which really run very deep did have a reporter william thank you. Well as Police Crackdown on the protests journalists have also found themselves being targeted and have a look. At is that on. The breath was this birth 6. Were not going over are on the model for our.

Here. And germanys foreign minister heikal moss is reacting and says sting the journalist must be allow to do their jobs reporting on the unrest in the u. S. We did with regard to the incidents involving which of which we have also to be made aware we would contact us oath or choose to find out more about the circumstances we remain firmly committed journalists must be able to carry out that tosk which is independent coverage of events without endangering their safety it would appear to push the democratic states under the rule of law have to meet the highest standards when it comes to protecting freedom of the press. Standouts. To our to the that was the German Foreign minister speaking a short time ago lets look at some other stories making news around the world the u. S. Ambassador to germany Richard Grinnell has resigned for now repeatedly clashed with german politicians during his tenure in berlin and German Companies that wanted to continue trading with iran were openly threatened with consequences most recently for nell said the u. S. Pressure on germany will not let up in the future. Italy is celebrating republic day which marks the referendum 74 years ago when italians voted for a republic to replace the monarchy a fly past by the Italian Air Force is the highlight of the anniversary despite some lockdown measures still in force celebrations are taking place across the country. Russia will spend 72000000000. 00 to restore the economy following the coronavirus shutdown russias economy is reeling from the collapse of oil prices the Prime Minister briefed president Vladimir Putin about the program it will run over 2 years and boost employment incomes and economic growth. 6 years of war in Eastern Ukraine have claimed more than 10000 lives and forced millions to leave their homes as peace talks stalled a Ukrainian Defense delegation in berlin today says that those talks are expected to resume soon a fast track to Peace Process was a key Campaign Pledge from ukraines president followed him as a landscape but a year into the job and its all proving more difficult than he had promised. Tanks on the roads and shifting front lines may now be a thing of the past but the dying in donbass has never stopped the most recent fatality just one week ago a 24 year old ukrainian soldier. Civilian casualties are rarer now but the people of donbass are paying a very real price for this war millions have been forced to leave their homes and those many older ukrainians who stayed in separatist controlled territory must cross a heavily weaponized frontline just to pick up their pensions. 6 years of negotiations are founded on one key question who should make the 1st concession Russia Ukraine even face to face meeting in paris didnt help its a standoff thats put a stable ceasefire out of reach let alone a negotiated end to this conflict but do ordinary ukrainians still believe this conflict can be resolved by negotiation. Its only joy talks wont achieve anything put in has his goals and hes not going to change all the political around france and germany should stay involved we need more pressure on putin hes someone who only understands brute force. Your business and i think we should talk directly to put and its in his hands he started all this. In south that im at the festival as efforts to bring putin selenski face to face for a 2nd summit get underway in berlin today back in ukraine hopes are fading as a lead he can succeed where his previous have failed and bring a rapid end to this war. Lets get more now we are joined by a de mitchell kleber the foreign minister of ukraine who is in berlin today welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us. My pleasure. We just heard president followed in resilience he came into office with a pledge to do whatever it takes to achieve peace with russia but there is still conflict in don bosco did the president underestimate the task at hand not at all hugh fully realizes how difficult it is to make a deal with president putin and make him withdraw from ukraine and deal could bardon bus and then we should not also forget about crimea which also has to be deal for part but despite all the difficult this we remain committed to making progress and coming up with initiatives which will help us to achieve the goal how exactly do you plan on achieving that goal how far is ukraine willing to go in order to achieve peace with russia because you have on the one hand russia for example demanding ukraine surrender part of its sovereignty over donbass essentially giving russia control over the region we will Never Surrender control sobering control over them by us or over crimea and it doesnt matter how much time it will take us but we will deal to buy those territories and reintegrate them into ukraine how would we. Yes we have already come up with some initiatives within the Trilateral Contact Group where Ukraine Russia and the always see sit together to make compromises and to achieve progress we suggests to russia a very simple solution that we will never cross our red line which is sort of sovereignty and control over the border and into jordan we are ready to negotiate the special status of those regions within ukraine without the providing them with the right to have a veto on any nation wide decisions but ultimately thats a red line that russia just simply is not buying at this point so today you know in order to push forward diplomatic efforts you met with your german counterpart heikal mosse in order to lay the groundwork for the next meeting between the president s of russia and ukraine does diplomacy still have a chance well you are asking the deployment of course i believe the diplomacy dos have a chance and we will take efforts to take the opportunity and take the chance to achieve the goal it is a difficult exercise because its difficult thord negotiated with russia but weezer such a partner is germany and particularly minister of us who has demonstrated a very clear commitment to facilitating the process we hope on making the progress and achieving the goal. We know that Ukraine Russia agreed a comprehensive cease fire last year has not been achieved. Our International Peacekeepers at this point needed to make a lasting cease fire happen. Well you are absolutely right unfortunately all ceasefire failed because of the violations coming from the other side and we have to respond to the fire to defend the lives of our soldiers and civilians we still have peacekeepers as an option but let me put it this way its in the pocket now we are ready to take it out if we see the all remedies are exhausted id like to ask you about the state of your alliances right now and youre here in germany meeting with the German Foreign minister youve also mentioned that one of your key ally and says has been with the United States which has been quite instrumental in supporting you and thats this conflict theres been controversy in the past year over the freezing of aid to ukraine from the United States how concerned are you about that alliance especially with all of the on rest in the United States right now well the issue was the military aid has been successfully resolved moreover pentago in the recently issued another document certifying that ukraine met all crate you had to receive the next part of the assistance and we will forward to receiving it we understand the United States are currently in a difficult situation and we support american democracy will hope to all these issues will be. Left behind within the framework of american standards for human rights and democratic governance and im absolutely confident that the partnership between ukraine and the United States cannot be shattered to me choke labor on that optimistic note thank you so much for joining us here on the mentioned you are the foreign minister of ukraine is it in berlin today. Central and south america have become be intense zones for cope with 19 transmission according to the World Health Organization the biggest rise in case loads is now brazil colombia peru mexico haiti argentina and bolivia but Health Care Workers across the region say that they do not have access to adequate personal protective equipment many of them report that to save lives they have to risk their own are latin america correspondent the cold has this report from colombia. This is what a medical professional dealing with covert 19 should look like but most Health Care Workers across latin america can only dream about having access to this sort of equipment. Publicly hailed as the heroes of the pandemic front line Health Care Workers in many countries like here in peru are protesting against a lack of personal protective equipment in bolivia and mexico as well Health Care Professionals have denounced what they see as systemic violations to their right to safe and healthy working conditions. We are asked to reuse our uniforms to sell them from cloth they want us to wash or reuse our end 95. 00 masks after several of our colleagues have become infected and even died we want the authorities to listen we want to quit ment so we can work. Out a profit. In colombia the rising worldwide demand and a decentralized privately Administrative Health care sector have caused grief shortages and an attempt to cash in on the crisis medical supplies stores have started popping up in the capital bogota from full body suits to surgical gloves a seemingly endless stock of much needed equipment but theres a catch. Even though protective gear can be purchased. Quite easily here and colombia adequate masks are expensive and often fake like this one but for many medical professionals entering this dangerous bargain is the only shot they have at finding at least some kind of protection. Maryanna treats patients in bogata to protect her little son from the virus she moved out of the family home 2 months ago and to protect herself from exposure at work she tried to take matters into her own hands. We received a private donation of n 95. 00 masks and some fish shields then we took it upon ourselves to buy protective overalls. But we werent allowed to use this equipment at the hospital. Administration told us that we were only our friends to use what they provided for us because. At the time that was merely a conventional mask. I was then reprimanded by my superiors it wasnt a big deal but it made me very sad to see that on top of them not guaranteeing our safety they cause problems when we try to take care of ourselves. Lack of protection in colombia is especially problematic because of an idiosyncrasy in the countrys health care system. I who have been an aggravating factor were seeing a lot more of here in colombia than in other countries is that Health Care Workers are usually employed in more than one hospital so between 40 and 60 pe
