it's tourism but income stream is dead in the water what's been the result seen poaching gotten quite significantly and in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera. you're watching the news hour live from london i'm dating you navigate that coming up in the next 60 minutes. the chinese government has continually violated its promises to us donald trump responds to china's crackdown in hong kong pledging to end preferential treatment for the territory. days of violent protests and tensions remain high in minneapolis where

a police officer has been charged with the murder of george floyd. the case has triggered protests across the country including in new york korea demonstrators demand justice for prosthetic terms of police brutality. and in spain where the coronavirus pandemic has forced an extra 1000000 people out of work the government unveils its plan for a minimum income. hello thanks for joining us the u.s. president donald trump has accused the chinese government of breaking its word on hong kong's autonomy as beijing imposes new national security legislation on the territory describing it as a tragedy for the world in response to the crackdown on pro-democracy protesters trump has directed his administration to end preferential u.s. treatment for the city and trade and travel he also announced the suspension of

entry of foreign nationals from china identified by the u.s. security risks and he's terminating the u.s. relationship with the world health organization over its handling of the corona virus saying it had essentially become a puppet of china. we will take action to revoke con kang's preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory from the rest of china the united states will also take this is serious steps to sanction p.r.c. and hong kong officials directly or indirectly involved in a roading hong kong's entente to me and so and just if you take a look smothering absolutely smothering hong kong's freedom our actions will be strong our actions will be meaningful let's talk about all of this so the white house correspondent kimberly houk it's a 1st on the world health organization companies saying the u.s.

is terminating their relationship with the organization what more are we learning how is this going to work. well 1st of all there's going to be a lot of criticism given the fact that this is happening in the midst of a pandemic but we did see it coming the funding was suspended in early april we knew there was a review underway and there were a set of demands now the argument being made by the target ministration is that the world health organization did not meet those demands in other words it did not make the reforms that were in essence a little bit vague but it essentially the argument is that you didn't do what we asked you to do so we're pulling the funding and we're going to redirect it the top administration says to other global health organizations this is a big problem because the united states is the number one contributor for nationally to the world health organization it gives roughly 450000000 according to the u.s. president as he spoke in the rose garden making this announcement but essentially

what the problem is for the u.s. president is that he believes that essentially the world health organization has been more focused on simply protecting china not doing what it is designed to do and that is to prepare the world for a global health emergency that it now faces so that's the accusation coming from donald trump we should point out that there have been many global health experts that say the world hort health organization was living up to its commitments still we have heard from the u.s. president making this announcement the rose garden that it has terminated funding something that we also should point out really is the control of congress so expect that when congress is back in full session that there may be pushback an attempt to undo this and in that same announcements in the rose garden he announced a raft of measures against china and hong kong officials. yeah and if misha when you hear this ending the special relationship against or for hong kong sounds

a little bit counter-intuitive why is the united states ending a special relationship the benefits hong kong while still saying that you're with the pro-democracy protesters what this means is that the position of the united states is that well the special relationship was designed for hong kong as the secretary of state said earlier this week hong kong is no longer being controlled by hong kong it's being controlled by china so the special relationship status that it was enjoying is really benefiting what the united states sees as its adversary and that is china so it is being revote what this means is that some of the special privileges that hong kong was enjoying whether it's commercial trade whether it's extradition treaties that is no longer going to be a separate category now hong kong all being seen as one and in addition in this announcement the rose garden u.s. president also saying that some visas for chinese nationals coming to study here in the united states potentially universities are working with militaries a very small percentage of those also being revoked because it's long been an

accusation of u.s. intelligence and this administration those are being abused and that what really is happening is that chinese intelligence agencies are using and manipulating those students in order to get secrets from the united states in terms of research and other scientific advancement so some very hard hitting actions coming from the trumpet miss for stray ssion with respect to china today is there something to be said about the timing of all of this camberley i mean why is he announcing all of this now. so glad you asked this question it's an election year number one number 2 a panic in terms of the pandemic here in the united states criticism for the way that the u.s. president has handled that now he's hitting back we know this is a president that likes to counterpunch and wants to sort of transfer blame from himself and his administration in terms of what many have said is the mishandling of the pandemic initially in order to point the finger so that's why we see this

pointing of the finger at china why we see the pointing of the finger at the world health organization donald trump is not accepting responsibility for the fact that there are 100000 deaths in the united states from coronavirus it's dead he is transferring that to china saying you didn't warn us you're not showing transparency in the origins of the virus and the world health organization you were too slow in declaring a global pandemic that is why this president is doing it when it comes to timing this is all about politics and a u.s. election where this president is trying to win reelection in november all right kimberly thank you very much for that update from just outside the white house where the president says that he's spoken with the family of a black man who died in minneapolis ofter being taken into police custody so the minneapolis police officer who kneeled on the neck of george floyd who was unarmed has not been charged with his murder derek 12 and handed himself into police officer 3 days of violent protests over the death of george floyd the entrance to a police station in minneapolis was set on fire by demonstrators angry over the

deaths while or assume looting and vandalism has been seen across the city john hendren reports from chicago. it is what protesters across the u.s. have been demanding the officer who held his knee on george floyd's neck has been arrested for mayhaps free sausage or chop and has been charged by the head of the county attorney's office with murder and with manslaughter as minneapolis st still smoldering following a 3rd night of riots the student governor is hoping the news will calm the violence in the streets minneapolis and st paul are on fire the fire still smoldering our streets the ashes are symbolic of decades and generations of a pain of anguish unheard. much like we failed to hear george floyd as he pleaded for his life as the world

watched it is my expectation that justice for the officers involved in this will be swift that it will come in a timely manner that it will be fair that is what we've asked for governor tim wants also called the arrest of a black c.n.n. journalist and his crew early friday by state police officers unacceptable i take full responsibility there is absolutely no reason something like this should happen calls were made immediately this is a very public apology to that team it should not happen i failed you last night and that in minneapolis riot police stand ready to confront a community that feels it's been betrayed national guard soldiers have also arrived in the city requested by a mayor who is under pressure to bring the violence under control. this was a police station in flames on thursday night and anger directed at those who swear to serve and protect escalated not far away more burning shops looting and violence

. protests have spread across the u.s. in denver demonstrators echoed the demand for justice already heard in new york and los angeles anger over the treatment of african-americans by the police is not new but right now it is very wrong. in louisville in kentucky the death of george floyd has reopened old wounds with protesters demanding justice for an african-american woman who was shot dead by police 2 months ago. it is this video of the last moment of george floyd's life a police officer nearly on his neck that is driving the outrage president trump has weighed in calling the protesters thugs and suggesting national guard troops shoot looters the republican president also to game against the city's democratic mayor mayor jacob fry fired back donald trump knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis we are strong as hell is this

a difficult time period yes but you better be damn sure that we're going to get through this as the protests and george floyd's name continue to grow the leaders of major cities across the u.s. are hoping that promises of swift justice will be enough to calm tensions john hendren here. allison herrera's a journalist in minneapolis she spoke to al-jazeera earlier on describe the mood in the city. people were cleaning up were going blasts a lot of people were boarding up their windows along eastlake street so you know people are really good lawyers are really angry and people are still really scared i was at a corner of 29th and lake street just earlier and there was there was heavy minister of state patrol presence a woman was you know confronting them and and yelling at them that you know they were out here protecting you know that she expected the same kind of protection for her son you know her nephew that they were doing to businesses on main street so

definitely a sense of anger a sense of just raw emotion right now in the city you have to remember we're in the middle of a pandemic you know where there's been over 100000 deaths related to covered 1000 here in the country people are feeling i think that's just added adds to the sense of. you know urgency and and and fear here so this city has a history of you know racially charged conflicts between the police and people in the community and this is just the tipping point isn't something that they feel like something needs needs to be done that's what i'm hearing from a lot of people on the streets today well police across the u.s. have condemned the actions of the 4 officers in minneapolis over the death of george floyd but it's just the latest in a series of deaths of unarmed black man at the hands of u.s. police gave those reports starts with the pictures of the incident which led to

george floyd's death. the scenes of george fully handcuffed being choked to death by a police officer has led to outrage within the insular tight ranks of the law enforcement community there was unusually quick condemnation on social media a new york police detective said the officer involved brought dishonor to the profession we take over to serve and protect and would like to see that that was the fear and on both things other police officers had equally pointed words it's time that we take these bad also as a speech out of gas and start holding them accountable and hold them to the same laws that we expect systems to abide by and i hope justice prevails and i hope those people are found to be guilty of murder because that's what i was. second i want to say. and we've got to change this we've got to break these barriers in these walls and we've got to do what we can as police officers the bigger picture

is how the killing of florida is going to complicate police work throughout america already many black communities are distrustful of law enforcement this is only going to make it worse when you see. what should be a routine apprehension become a de facto execution it is it is extremely and so we watch. and former new york police detective keith taylor says there are systematic issues of race that need to be addressed makes it more difficult for officers interests simply trying to do their job. the fact that these. negative incidents that occur do get publicized really brings to the forefront how important it is to address the inequities that occur in our criminal justice system an incident that has left many police officers

just as outraged as the people they are sworn to serve and protect many wanting answers and justice gabriels on doe al-jazeera new york let's bring in christina roth she's the senior program officer for criminal justice at amnesty international usa says joining us from washington thanks for your time with us on the al-jazeera news hour and we're just learning from official records that the officer who had his knee on george floyd's neck had it on his back for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total and then 2 minutes and 53 seconds of this was was after floyd was actually non-responsive when you hear this what do you think. it's incredibly upsetting news and thank you again for having me on tonight i think. we witnessed these sorts of killings and you know for context there are a 1000 people that are killed by police in the u.s. every year and so many of those people will never hear their name has there won't

be stories written about them or videos to exactly show what happened in those last moments of their lives it's incredibly upsetting and i was particularly disappointed to learn as i heard reported by m s n b c that the officer actually likely work but this are exploiting new him in fact it's clear they're from watching the this video and the other videos that have come to light that there amount of force that was used was unnecessary and it's the a great just that he maintain force that amount of time and that his fellow officers did nothing to stop them now that the officer has been charged as you know with 3rd degree murder does it make a difference is this a positive stuff or a to answering people's concerns in your concerns amnesty international you know i think given the amount of attention this is drawn i am not surprised that there have been charges or. by the pressure that that that killed

george lloyd i i hope to see. the prosecuting attorney whether that is continues to be a district attorney or an independent prosecutor is appointed as are calling on the governor do you to consider all of the options in their tool box. and also consider you know everyone that was involved as well. and you're saying you're calling out the president for some of the tweets that he's posted as a result of what's happening and in minnesota what's your biggest concern there. well i think in this moment it's clear that people are responding to not just this incident but particularly the idea that as you as you stated we all watched for 8 minutes this man's struggle for his lives for help and say similar words that we heard just a few years ago out of there garner and those plays what listen to and what comes out of the mouth of the president of the united states were out of his keyboard i

should say is looting and shooting and i think you know particularly the clips that you played earlier that there are law enforcement that are also deeply concerned about what's happening here you know 1st the context as i said earlier it's a good step in the right direction that there has been charges brought against the officer principally accountable for the death of mr floyd but that said in these cases typically only about one percent of cases are prosecuted and officers are convicted so i'm not holding my breath right now just because these charges or that communities that are deeply rooted in impacted like this look like me are going to see what what what are you calling for. warning signs on i think in the case of mr floyd i would like to see you know the governor appoint an independent prosecutor i think it's on the department of justice it take a closer look at this case and ensure that the appropriate charges are brought with regard to the rights of the late as well and considering particularly that the

officer and evolve in charges against him infractions at this point shows a bit of a pattern out of out of out of the department so out of practice there that i mean i would also say you know beyond this moment we clearly need much stronger laws in place and that's up in the amnesty advocates or locally 2015 year release deadly force or at assessed every law in the u.s. the press at least supports there are in fact 9 states in the u.s. that allow police to kill people to suppress the riot which is of extreme concern at this moment and so we'll continue to work at the federal and state levels with officials pass laws that are closer in line the international standards there's absolutely no reason that police should not restrict force as an app as a last resort not as a 1st resort as we're seeing in some of these cases and while i have you with us let me ask you about protests and other cities we've seen protests erupt there and i know that amnesty international you've put out a statement where you said that you've documented indiscriminate for speeding used

against protesters in a number of other cities what sort of. what have you seen exactly. well the responses of m. and indiscriminate force are particularly in regard with they use to. schools that law enforcement may use such as tear gas and such as rubber bullets it's about that you play that those are the years where people are demonstrating peacefully they have a right to do that and one force but has to restrict their response that in a report the necessary manner particularly when we're seeing these tools use you know right now we're in the middle of a global pandemic and the idea that you know tear gas is being thrown at people is probably not a great idea for those that may already have respite or issue ends and rubber bullets in themselves shouldn't be in and of itself very likely to be something that they use and screen at least they're attended to the lower extremities to somebody but when we're seen reporting i saw

a report in the other day out of minneapolis that young woman's i was bleeding as a result and that clearly shows that these tools are not being used appropriately all right we'll leave it there christina roth we thank you very much for speaking to us from washington thank you very much. now workers across india are accusing the government of exploiting her own a virus pandemic to suspend labor laws many states can now fire stuff without government permission while the minimum wage has been scrapped off already say the changes will help restart the economy after one of the world's strictest lock downs but as elizabeth purana reports from new delhi workers are already paying the price . of the seas the production of clothes for his designer label in his workshop and. sales fell by 70 percent in the past 2 months to a lock down and heyman says he'll have to layoff around 75 of his 300 employees. the suspension of most of the state's labor laws he no longer beats the government's

risk of a landslide so these people need to go and now but to avoid the kind of clashes that we've seen a couple of weeks ago local authorities are here today with the police and they're offering people roughly $70.00 a month for the next 3 months as a house in a bonus or to find something to rant about the community say that's definitely not enough and that the only option would be to end up in overcrowded housing with other families which would put them at risk of catching the virus now this shows just how difficult it has been at the colombia for colombia to respond to the kind of needs that the poorest of the poor have during a lockdown and the pandemic the national government has offered economic help for hundreds of thousands of people some of them have indeed received it but many others like those who live here say they haven't. well there's been

a resurgence in bartering in many parts of the world as people seek ways to provide for themselves and their families during lockdowns in the us community goes exchanges have expanded rapidly one set of has 9000000 members and has been adding 10000 more per week during the pandemic ordering has proven particularly valuable for those in vulnerable sectors such as domestic services beauty and child care as well as those working in the gig call me many are heavily reliant on bartering to gain basic groceries and other essential supplies and nearly 15 percent of people on feed she have turned to bartering after a dramatic decline in tourism the backbone of the pacific island nations economy many say they're doing so to help those who have lost their jobs let's say tomorrow she's the founder of barter for a better fiji she's joining us from suva that's in fiji itself thanks for its speaking to us so you set up one of these online bartering companies tell us why

you set it up. yes i set up the page of the group as a direct response to the call the 19 and what it's done to our economy we are reliant really heavily on the tourism sector and so far we've lost close 24250000 jobs in that sentence so things are tight here and we started this as a as a means people to get what they want it out cash and so what is it that people want the most i mean what sort of iceland's are mostly bartered well the heavily is traded goods full groceries baby food baby nappies that tempting seeds and plants a lot of people are going into backyard gardening so that's not a popular item and small electrical goods household appliances that may have broken down or missing up. the things that they need. and interestingly this is a center is old traditional practice in fiji is it not that you have sort of modern

modernize and put on facebook yes that's correct it was the means of exchange way back before money came along but even then even since then within our own communities with our own families we've always done this in a smaller scale what the platform has done is be able to connect people from right around the country and open up new places for them to get what they need but yet this is something that everybody is familiar with in the pacific i think you touched upon this just a moment ago about the impact the closer of borders has had on the feeds in particular of course as a result of the coronavirus i mean talk to us a little bit about that and what impacts it's had on people there and people's livelihoods you know. direct losses in jobs from the tourism sector with the airlines with the airport stuff with the hotels that has been white spirit but then we've seen it filtered down to all the additional services that

support the tourism so with the restaurants and bars with a lot of the the retail outlets in the main western tourism belt they're all losing jobs and the numbers are just growing daily health wise though i mean it's been really good to contain the virus here in fiji and we have very very small numbers still active cases but yeah it's just the economic impact is just being her endace on us all right so we'll leave it there thank you very much for speaking to us marlene data from fiji thank you hugh thank you spain's governments will give people worse hit by the economic impact of a pandemic a guaranteed minimum income and it's hoped to will get people on low wages or of lost their jobs back on their feet more than a 1000000 extra people are now out of work increasing demands on charities and soup kitchens as martha herrera reports from madrid. a simple sandwich some fruit and water is enough to get thousands of spaniards through today in

spain food banks soup kitchens and charities have been overwhelmed him some even forced to close during the coronavirus outbreak but demand in these places has increased 30 percent since the emergency lockdown in march thousands of spaniards have joined the so-called queues of hunger for the 1st time. so son i won't tell it is a hospital cleaner in april she found herself out of work she spent all her savings and at the age of $44.00 she had to appeal to charity for the 1st time in her life . i feel really back on depending on others i always depended on myself at the beginning in one day before what you say you know but then i realized that if i have forward and can share it then we can all eat. says a court of ours all break over 1000000 people have lost their jobs in spain the loss

of employment has been compounded by school closures and increasing bills after more than 2 months of a strict lockdown the spanish government plans to spend $3000000000.00 euros a year to provide the poorest households with a minimum income over $850000.00 families will benefit from it single parent families will get the quiver end of 500 dollars and families with 2 of those $650.00. today is an historic day for democracy and for me it's an onerous deputy prime minister of this government to announce a new social right is born in spain a minimum bottle income i think we can qualify it as the greatest advance in social rights in spain since the approval of the dependency law in 2006. the government's intention is to reach the maximum number of people in need but over 2000000

spaniards who work in this economy pay no tax or working without a contract will be left out of this initiative if there's a silver lining to cover it 19 clout is that many spaniards one have to depend on the charity of strangers. madrid. in the u.k. officials are worried that communities already left behind by economic growth will suffer more at the pandemic brings more cuts unemployment lower life expectancy and a lack of power for opportunity already plague much of northeastern england reports from middlesborough. what will things be like when it's all over for rich places maybe not so bad but poor communities have a right to be worried the post-industrial landscape of teesside in northeastern england tells a story of joblessness poor life chances and the virus a high mortality rates if the british government tries to pay off its huge debts or

will stare a-c. that they can't begin to imagine how much worse things will get it's almost too difficult to comprehend how we would go about doing that because we're i think we're as low as we can get in terms of the the cooks that we've made our stock on even start to think about how we would make more coats firsthand experiences of all this show a town already on the age we need to live is vital supplies to 17 people with underlying health conditions and therefore most at risk in this tiny house of for asylum seekers including an elderly woman from sierra leone who has diabetes given the things binny is seen any more cuts to services would be catastrophic but there was a case right here in misrata central middle east for someone who did not eat for 17 days 17 for 17 days so she has been going over food banks she saw the food banks were closed and even though she was fully entitled as a citizen but she was look at you know what it looked and she was almost going

to die disease thrives in poverty the economic response to the health care crisis will make or break places like this. just before all this started the new british government swept to power on a promise of what it called levelling up plowing money into the forgotten english northern towns but not only has covered 19 put all of that on ice it's also led to a new enormous national debt a debt which towns like middlesborough are in no position whatsoever to help pay back. the story here could be that of any port town in any country which has taken on massive debt nationally or globally that that will happen we will lose generations we will lose businesses people will lose hope hope the health and social implications will be colossal that it isn't an option borrowing these new affordable rates prudently and spending intelligently is the only

solution to this so many of the problems here predated the virus but maybe the health care crisis could have a silver lining after all better jobs stronger communities surely mean healthier people largely al-jazeera middlesborough. more than 900 children under the age of 10 have tested positive for corona virus in pakistan southern sindh province most are from poor families and social distancing isn't possible at home so hire out reports. relatives wait outside to busy emergency department in sindh province their children are inside isolated receiving treatment because it 19 at least 930 children under the age of 10 have tested positive for the virus most of them symptomatic but the concern is how they became infected in the 1st place

but all new cases where the children probably have gotten this infection from some of their elders were had left the whole world bunch on there or probably the family did not practice russian distancing in the proper manner that even my own thing this is because from since the 26th of february 2020 schools have been closed despite the pakistani government's advice to follow world health organization guidelines on social distancing many people here are not to some it's not a choice. most of the children that tested positive come from poor communities they live in cramped conditions big families in small spaces. look at the situation we're living in it's all solid waste the smell is everywhere meanwhile the government is talking about hygiene and social distancing how is it possible in a situation like this and how can we keep our children safe. many of pakistan's hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of created 19 cases

more than 61000 people so far and more than 1200 deaths with the numbers and with the economy already weak the crisis has forced many people out of work the government's projects 18000000 job losses more pakistanis are relying on. food handouts it's a carrot straight due to a situation where you know if you open businesses you'll work everybody's life from the risk if you shut down businesses then there is an economic downturn so it's not that easy choice it's a choice between the devil and the deep sea basically pakistan is considering imposing another nation wide cloaked in faith or flattening the curve but it may prove call to folly for those living in sindh province which now has the highest number of confirmed crying of virus cases in the country so high that al jazeera.
