And you know we remember back in 2700 there was intense International Media coverage of the disappearance of Maddie Mccann what could this development what could it mean for finding justice for the little girl. Well there were a huge number of. Indications what might have happened to her there were even some socalled sightings of her in various places in europe there were new pictures constructed of her. At a further at an increased age but in the end what it will possibly mean is relief for the parents if this whole situation is resolved that will mean a final closure for the parents who we have to remember well regarded as suspects themselves in this crime by the Portuguese Police initially. Brought on the story for us with this breaking news a suspect in a 13 year old missing persons case on thank you in the United States the officer arrested over George Floyds killing has now been charged with 2nd degree murder the 3 other officers who were with him one else these charges of aiding and abetting murder protest over floyds deaths are now in their 9th day the flare ups of violence that marred previous demonstrations it has dwindled some once more than 9000 protesters have been arrested across many u. S. Cities define curfews saying they want to take a stand for change. Another standoff between police and protest is. d on.

The roof over time to be some joint you. Mom. Others to defy new yorks curfew marching through the city to protest at the death of george floyd an africanamerican at the hands of police most were peaceful but there were reports of violence including by some Police Officers. Grabbed innocent people for no reason i just cited lady cop and unfortunately the ground this do was abuse a journalist and a press does a press pass and a person to the ground. President trump has threatened to deploy the military and has already called up more than 20000. 00 National Guard troops. Its a move that angered many including former president ial hopeful Elizabeth Warren because its about all these words know that he is imposing a Violent Crime on our mortal people are here want to have a little protest going on even the pope has spoken out condemning racism and violence. We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. And at the heart of all this a human tragedy the mother of George Floyd Stuart or on able to hold back her tears and her full low paid. Infamy of jurors because they want justice for hill. And i want justice for here because he was. No matter well in about it they should do in this is the group he would go to. Those calls for justice ringing out across the United States and beyond. Well when you consider history there are moments when history seems to take an abrupt turn consider the collapse of communism or the arab spring the recent need to movement and what about the killing of george floor. His death has triggered a global wave of protests to talk about that im joined tonight by mark hinge of a sociologist who specializes in criminology and social movements he is with Berlins Free University its good to have you on the program you know were seeing these mass protests not only in america do you think this has the makings of an International Movement or is this another flash in the pan moment with a hash tag well thats really difficult to say on friday cristobal and it can it can go either way either the protests will just allow all they may sort of keep them amends. May eventually come to you know results in meaningful substantial change. You say meaning substantial change that implies that the elites who have the power that that there will be a change in the power constellation as we know it are there any signs that we can see now that would suggest that we will see a lasting change in that power constellation. Know at the moment unfortunately not sam i think so far weve seen that in late absolute of pretty much dont get in competently in the United States where the president himself has not reached out to the protesters and he has not even kind of promised any token reforms but youre absolutely right what meaningful substantial change would require and would be a redistribution of resources and opportunities. Within society and thats not just in the United States but in many european societies as well theres over the criticism that there is a disconnect here that for example im a white man im interviewing you youre a white man and were talking about there the plight of minorities in society does does that tell us then that this disconnect is is much wider than it should be and that theres a lot of work to be done to bring people together yes absolutely. I i totally see the problem its too white males talking to one another about the kind of you know plight of minorities that is a problem but i think the problem goes much deeper than its its not just about kind of you know representation and there is this of or under what circumstances although that plays a role but i think its fundamentally much more about material inequalities and rising to inequalities over the last 30 years of. Marcos again jeff with Berlins Free University we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you thank you. In london thousands of protesters also gathered today to honor the wife of george floyd black lives matter they organized the rally to draw attention to what they say is the systemic racism which harms people of color in the u k. Speakers corner in londons hyde park a Meeting Point for demonstrates has over the years. I thought that this time they gathered to draw attention to injustices against black people sparked by the death of george floyd in the u. S. Among the protesters star was actor john boy into a prominent voice against racism. Who those present were also eager to stress that these problems were not limited to america. He became an innocent people displaced theres been many gun nuts not because of. What it. Will get us in the world but as. I said i would if i thought i could and i think still race i think i will just pray competent to see the collective grief of most of them and their willingness to trade the Current Situation current for the full year this is this is kind of people an antithesis of what this is all about. Then the crowd marched through the city stopping at the Prime Ministers Office and residence on downing street. I did not receive an audience from Boris Johnson although he addressed the matter and parliament. I think what happened in in the United States was appalling it was inexcusable we all saw it on our screens and i perfectly understand peoples right to protest what took place they will be asleep i will say they believe that protests should take place in a a lawful and reasonable way. Currently the largest gatherings allowed in the u. K. Are limited to 6 people because of the coronavirus threat which has been devastating for the country that rule was not enforced at this rally although the event comes at a time when britain is easing lock down restrictions. Earlier we spoke to the correspondent there she was at that protest in london today so many thousands protest is gathering here for a peaceful protest in london gathering for peaceful sit in hyde park and then making their way through what the houses of parliament where there are now several i was after the crisis began still people here and many of tell me that this is about solidarity with the u. S. Of course but also about institutional racism here in the u. K. And yes saying that his thoughts are already in school that they feel that theyre being treated differently from their white counterparts that the expectations are not as high and that the race isnt already starts in the playground so not overt racism and injustice like in the u. S. But something more subtle is how many people have put it and its clearly an issue which resonates with people and thousands of people. And this really emotional and peaceful protest that was bigger much there reporting from london athletes and freedom of expression the 2 do go together Football Players in Germanys Bundesliga are free to show their support for protests over the death of george floor we heard today from the German Football Association and several players signaled their support for the ongoing protests during matches this past weekend.

Hong kong and china have reacted angrily to foreign criticism of beijings plans to introduce a new security law in this sim my autonomous territory a chief executive kerry lam accuse the u. K. Today of double standards after british Prime Minister boards johnson said that millions of hong kong residents could have a path to u. K. Citizenship if china limits rights by imposing go all the former british colony was promised a high degree of autonomy and rights in the 1997 handover treaty between britain and china. But fears that autonomy is being lost is fueled antigovernment protest in hong kong since last june more than 8000 people have been arrested but hundreds have fled to evade prosecution many finding refuge in taiwan the w. C. Because sent us this report on one protester in exile. Dining at a whole host out cafe used to be an every day event for tom not his rooming but now its lets remember him and many other hong kong was living in exile in taiwan is just all in there we milk tea is to new that was at his taipei cafe that have become brevity used to ease his homesickness. It reminds me of the days when we used to buy shoot from cafes like this one during the protests in which finishing joining the march its a shame that i contact anymore the only thing i can do is watch the news on my cell phone. Last year tom took part in many confrontational protest including stomping the whole legislature and beseeching guinea president campuses he regards himself as a frontline i protested then fled to taiwan in december when police began to infest a gate. I fled because i dont believe that the g. T. Sharee will be holding fair trials. For example one man who stopped peaceful protest as he was complimented by the judge for quote showing noble qualities but we dont see similar comments for the 1st protester he was convicted of rioting just because he was throwing objects i dont trust the judges because they appear to be biased his fear has been intensified by beijings point to end that a National Security law for hong kong which has triggered global concern over the city is remaining freedoms as many as 300 protesters like tom helped that whole call for taiwan over the past year despite a lack of asylum laws taiwan is a fortys have supported to protest they have pledged more measures to help settle people excavating from hong kong. This is the first d restaurant in taiwan offering top opportunities to hold home protesters in like oh help we could see a Sustainable Way of them to let the living and whatever projects such as cool chick and all i shop on the white house more protesters i dont have to call. Tom often plays basketball to keep busy today is joined by his friend and fellow protesters seem seaman who also prefers not to give his real name left home call nearly idea though he sets the chances of returning home getting slimmer day by day. Once the National Security law is imposed on kong isnt going to be any different from Mainland China im not just worried about my personal safety im also worried about my family in hong kong. Im concerned that they might be intimidated or might even get up ducted by chinese agents but i dont plan to be in exxon forever i hope that i regain my strength one day and be able to take back my home then. Both of them will start studying in taiwan later this year just like Hong Kong Thomas face and then set in the chair but at least they are relatively safe for now.
