these historic sent back until the job only what it takes to beat. special cup. just. protests spread to dozens of u.s. cities over the death of a black man who was pinned to the ground by police. hello i'm kemal santa maria in doha with the world news from al-jazeera an officer has been charged with george floyd's murder is added to the anger about the way racial minorities are treated by police. president don't trump the largely ignores the domestic turmoil and instead announces he's terminating his country's relationship

with the w.h.o. and the invasion destroyed crops this is in india and. outside the white house and from coast to coast protests and violence have spread to more u.s. cities over the death of a black man at the hands of a white police officer now that officer there has been charged with george floyd's murder but it is a little to dampen the anger particularly in minneapolis itself where floyd died while being arrested on monday diffs demonstrators there defying the curfew and a large deployment of the national guard was a bank set on fire and a department store looted as well. this is the largest civilian deployment in minnesota history that we have out there today and quite candidly right now we do not have the numbers we cannot arrest people when we're trying to hold ground

because of the sheer size the dynamics and the wanton violence that's coming out there but as you've seen there's already shots being fired back at our people these arson that is taking place puts many people at risk our firefighters are specifically and very open to target so we move to the nation's capital now where the white house went into lockdown as the crowds for with police outside in atlanta georgia the c.n.n. news channel's headquarters came under attack police cars were also targeted it all prompted a furious response from the mayor of atlanta you are just pricing our city you are disgracing the life of george well why didn't every other person who has been killed in this country this is not a protest this is not in the spirit of martin luther king jr this is chaos a protest has a purpose when dr king was assassinated we do this to our city

and the anchors spread as far as the west coast as well crowds in los angeles some of them out chanting i can't breathe those were some of floyd's final words as he was kept pinned to the ground by those police well our correspondent john hendren in is in minneapolis he told us what he's been seeing. this was a big test tonight of the security in this city after 3 nights of rioting and. burning of buildings and it's clear it was not an unqualified success by any measure there are a number of buildings burning you can see one of them right over here that is just being put out by firefighters. and that is just one of several that we have seen tonight we've seen looting at a kmart store people have been setting off. fireworks they've been challenging police those police have backed them off with tear gas but it was clear there

weren't enough police really to clear out all of the demonstrators whose national guard troops who've been guarding blocking off streets and they've been protecting these firefighters is even going to the fire but there simply weren't enough of them even to allow them to go and put out the fires while the protesters were around i think they were they decided that there simply wasn't enough security so this afternoon this evening rather the governor jim wallace apologized saying that they were simply overwhelmed they did not have enough troops and now he's calling in another 1000 of these national guard troops to come in respond to the city says that is the largest number of troops they have ever called out in the state of minnesota but it was hoped that this wouldn't happen because the charges had been filed against one of those 4 officers and nevertheless people are still unsatisfied they want georges against all 4 of the officers who were involved in the death of

george floyd and there is still anger in the streets here in minnesota. 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 a 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 kneeling on his neck that is driving the outrage president trump is weighed in calling the protesters bugs and suggesting national guard troops shoot looters the republican president also to a 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 al jazeera chicago. now this one voice missing from all of that and its u.s. president donald trump he's was not to comment but instead announced the u.s. would be cutting its ties with the world health organization accusing it of being overly influenced by beijing the president also confirmed an end to washington special treatment of hong kong after china approved its new security law for the territory and support amount of fish. unusually for a news conference at the white house president only trump opted to use a teleprompter and stuck to the script but in the week where the number of 1000 deaths in the u.s. went through the 100000 mark the president used the occasion to cut ties with the world health organization and returned to calling it the ruhani virus china has

total control over the world health organization we have detailed the reforms that it must make and engage with them directly but they have refused to act the president has been angry about china's trade practices since before he took office the protests this week in hong kong decision to extend security powers there has added to that anger hong kong has had a special relationship with the u.s. the president wants to punish china and says hong kong special status is no more my announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with hong kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions. we will be revising the state department's travel advisory for hong kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the chinese state security apparatus president also announced he was

imposing sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials but i think this is the the amount of actions that he and house as well as the severity of actions that he did announce depending on the implementation of these actions this is probably the nuclear option that this is an initiation of do you think china will react and respond i think china has to respond in this case there are so many actions that the trump emission and ounce today that if they don't respond then domestically the leadership risks looking weak to their domestic audience president trump gave a long list of grievances about china's economic actions there's nothing new there he's done it before what was interesting in his 10 minutes in front of the cameras he made no mention of chinese president xi a man he regards as strong a man he's praised in the past even for his handling of the coronavirus brick alan fischer al-jazeera at the chinese embassy in washington more now on this what if

you go palin in hong kong she says trump's announcement on ending preferential treatment phone call could be disastrous for the city's economy. about how often all the investments that go into china are come out of china go through hong kong that means billions and billions of dollars passed through hong kong really helping hong kong's economy get going get the wheels turning on its economy also many businesses also rely on this kind of capital so yes this is going to have a huge impact on hong kong's economy and in fact hong kong's finance minister has said they are already looking at all kinds of measures of putting strategy in place to for all kinds of scenarios depending on what the u.s. decides to do but just to help you understand how this came about basically it was during the protest in which the pro-democracy front particularly joshua was just one wants group lobbied in the u.s.

congress to keep an eye on hong kong to taunt me and safeguard home concertina me giving it the whites to take measures against anyone who does try to road this autonomy and now the u.s. is using those powers to say that they are going to take away on special trade status because they no longer see china or hong kong as autonomous for china so while many of the pro-democracy front and perhaps human rights activists will be celebrating as there's a somewhat of a victory many other people in hong kong the business community and in fact many small businesses will be concerned about this in fact the american chamber of commerce commerce call this is a sad day for hong kong because this could really affect on consequent to me and people still likelihoods. in the news ahead breaking the blue wall of silence what some police have been saying about the actions of the 4 officers involved in george floyd's fatal arrest. we have heard people could have. done.

and we will look at the charities and the volunteers filling the gaps britain's welfare system is overwhelmed by corruption farts. and. much of indonesia but also particularly in the last a couple of days and going forward more of these shows and fairly heavy thunderstorms at times well across much of combo and in particular on the tools that border saying some heavy downpours over the next couple of days as well the showers still fairly prevalent 3 more central areas of the philippines and down across into still wesley with some heavy downpours late in the day again into somalia and also the mill a pencil or conditions across until straight generally. suddenly feeling cooler of late across much of the southeast and there's another very strong system heading in

particularly strong in terms of waynes really affecting these coastal areas of south australia the cloud coming in the showers late in the day but also you notice this system here just sitting across the north island of new zealand that will continue to spread rain south was as we go through monday and we do need the rain but this is fairly heavy and certainly very persistent on a monday it's a very unsettled they generally across much of it tory and new south wales at wide spread showers across much of the region also want to showers across into tasmania as well all while the conditions helping clearing across much of western australia still a fair amount of cloud in the forecast and as you can see too much as a fair into the high of 20 in perth on monday. on counting the costs of private free land and dance what is the world owed china what is beijing get when countries come pay back loans plus the man behind

a $1.00 trillion dollar stock market crash was he a convenient scapegoat the biggest shock. counting the cost on al-jazeera. if you want to help save the world. these are the headlines protests some of them violent have been going on in several u.s. cities demanding justice for george floyd a black man killed in police custody a minnesota national guard has been deployed to minneapolis where floyd died on monday former minneapolis officer derek chauvin has been arrested and charged with

his murder video captured him pressing his knee on george floyd's neck and donald trump has announced the u.s. is cutting ties with the world health organization accusing it of being overly influenced by beijing. germany's blasted donald trump's announcement saying it will cause unnecessary harm health minister young spawn tweeted in german french and english that is a disappointing backlash for international health if the w.h.o. shall make any difference for the future it needs reform and the e.u. must take a leading role and engage more financially that is one of our priorities for our e.u. presidents. more in our top story and some u.s. police officers of spoken out to condemn the actions of those involved in george ford's death and that kind of condemnation escaper lives on the reports is quite rare 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 like to see that that officer failed on both things other police officers had equally pointed words it's time that we take these bad officers and speak out against us or hold them accountable and hold them to the same laws that we expect. 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 freud 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 experienced 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
