begins our coverage from minneapolis. a curfew in a murder charge against a police officer failed to bring calm to minneapolis. the city's new curfew beginning 8 pm some protesters responded by setting buildings on fire hundreds of others continued to peacefully protest the death of a black man george floyd after his arrest by a white policeman. who are. also very children who was fired shortly after floyd's arrest on monday 'd has now been charged with his murder but it's made little difference on the city's turbulent south sunne demonstrators defied the curfew and a large deployment of the national guard some took out their anger on businesses such as the department store and occasionally journalists. others lined

up to challenge police who answered with tear gas but failed to control the unrest the national guard troops have been blocking roads and they've been protecting firefighters and they've been putting out the many fires you can see one of them back there but the governor says there simply haven't been enough of them and that's why he's sending in more a 1000 more to join the 500 already in minneapolis in nearby st paul 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 want violence that's coming out there but as you see there's already shots being fired back at our people. these arson that is taking place puts many people at risk are firefighters are specifically and very open target from coast to coast protests and violence have spread to more u.s. cities in washington. the white house was briefly or locked down as crowds fought

with police in the capital. and in atlanta georgia this c.n.n. news channel's headquarters came under attack police cars were also targeted prompting a furious response from atlanta's mayor you are just crazy in our city you are disgracing the life of george lloyd in every person who has been killed in this country crowds in los angeles chanted i can't breathe some of george floyd's final words as his neck was pinned to the ground. and back in minneapolis his excessive days in 1000 event go on john hendren al jazeera minneapolis well at least one person's been killed off the shots were fired a protest is in detroit where they say someone in an s.u.v. opened fire on the group detroit is one of more than a dozen u.s. cities where they have been demonstrations now ignoring this largely is the u.s.

president donald trump instead he's announced the u.s. is causing all 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 a new security law for the territory and support from alan fischer. 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 covert 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 also be zhang's 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 administration could 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 administration announced today that if they don't respond and domestically they leadership risks looking weak to their domestic audience president trump gave a long. a 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 bric alan fischer al-jazeera at the chinese embassy in washington well germany has blasted trump's announcement saying it will cause unnecessary harm the health minister young spawn tweeted in german as well as french and english so that the disappointing backlash for international health if the w.h.o. should 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. presidency on to other news an israeli forces have killed an unarmed palestinian man with special needs in the occupied in occupied east jerusalem police say he was carrying a suspicious object that looks like a pistol it's what they say though no gun was found in the area on friday israeli soldiers killed a palestinian in the occupied west bank. the u.s. has been criticized for ending iran's sanctions waivers which allowed work on nuclear sites designed to prevent weapons being developed france germany and the u.k. have issued a joint statement saying they deeply regret the decision the waivers allowed companies to work on converting iran's heavy water reactor provided and rich to iranian for research and transfer and to transfer used fuel abroad turning our attention to iran and the corona virus which has infected large numbers including

winds temperatures have come down and this will rain in the forecast sunny sunday at times this rain could be pretty heavy but it's very extensive so as i say it really is helping to reduce the heat even through central regions where we've got the clavicle 43 in our pool further to the south plenty of rain working its way across into carolus staying off the coast for the most volatile monday and then case guys ignore poor. men killed a mother in. some on their way to an appointment sadly the insurgents don't wear uniforms law also is seen long with the was of the american occupation of iraq matthew has an old american prince to account trump tower 2016 how come you didn't mention that meeting to congress and i did i don't know if i got the transcript wrong. i don't think you're that sharp that you can tell the difference between a polish guy a french guy leave your charming head to head on a jersey are. you

with al-jazeera these are the top stories this hour protests many of them violent have been going on in several u.s. cities overnight demanding justice for george floyd a black man killed in police custody the national guard's been deployed to minneapolis with one died on a curfew and state of emergency has just been declared in portland as well. i mean while the former minneapolis officer has been arrested and charged with murder video catching him pressing his knee on george floyd's neck. and don't trumpet the knots the u.s. is cutting ties with the world health organization accusing it of being influenced

by beijing. so some u.s. police officers have now spoken out to condemn the actions of those involved in george ford's death in the us on the reports now that sort of condemnation is 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 would like to see that that was the theme on both suspects 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. 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 thanks you should it is it is experience to watch. and former new york police detective keep 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 every day. 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 climate change activists are calling for socially distance protests across the u.k. this is the group known as extinction rebellion focusing on what it describes as the government's incompetent response to the coronavirus pandemic that in baba is in london for us not the easiest thing to do isn't a game to socially distance while sue protests but there are a lot of people saying that climate change is just going on noticed at the moment. exactly came out it's a challenge but they're trying to meet it the organizers of this extinction

rebellion protests and made it clear that it's a silent protest where people are keeping 3 meters apart and you can probably see a lot of the being talked to by police officers right now possibly some of them facing a rest i haven't heard the conversations but i've heard people say that they're going to be arrested. him clients but i'm not sure exactly about what the police are telling the protesters and cern's of what their rights whether they're allowed to be here but also it's a big challenge as you can see for police to maintain social distancing while they're doing their job as well this all reminds people a that there are other issues as you were saying because extinction rebellion a saying that at the end of the lot down and once the pandemic is over there should be a citizens' assembly to discuss how the government has handled the crisis they say badly but also how society moves forwards in terms of meeting the climate emergency which saw the greek protests and get into the headlines from last year at the same

time there are growing calls from some government scientists or scientists who advised the government through the advisory group called sage saying that the lifting or easing of looked out measures which is starting on monday a coming too soon at least 3 states members saying that they're worried that there's a high risk because currently there are around $8000.00 cases per day new cases of call the 19 some have also cast doubts on the efficiency of the test trace and isolate program which got up and running in the last few days saying that there's no proof that there are enough tests being done or in fact that the trace system will work and on friday the sages group released documents suggesting that only high. half of people who have symptoms have been self isolating now the new system requires anyone who has been in contact with someone

who's got the disease to self isolate with their family for 14 days so it's a very big ask and it's a huge challenge. is that a social distance protest extension rebellion in london thank you. well a plague of locusts what you believe covering 2 countries is devastating large parts of india and pakistan in dollars worth of crops have been damaged fears of food shortages around and reports from new delhi. crawling across thousands of kilometers and flying through the air billions of locusts have swarms large swathes of agricultural land in pakistan and india devouring any vegetation in their path i have lost fruits were. spent all my life growing these trees but all these swarms have destroyed. the un because pakistan bellew's more than $4000000000.00 worth of winter and summer crops. pakistan's government is

using planes to spray pesticide we have now. we are looking for 6 more and i'm sure we'll be able to. be locust which will be coming from iran as well as from moscow and in turn is coming from africa while locust plague is not news scientists say climate change is making them worse they say this infestation is driven by unusually warm weather and heavy rains in the arabian peninsula last year creating the ideal breeding ground of locusts move in swarms of up to $50000000.00 each swarm can travel 200 kilometers a day each as much food as $35000.00 people and lay $1000.00 eggs per square metre . in india the blanketed western and central states during a heatwave higher temperatures help the insects spread more rapidly as well as spraying pesticide local councils in the state of madhya pradesh

a playing loud music from speakers mounted on vehicles in an effort to drive the locusts away i do think that if they stay here for more than 8 days they'll start laying eggs and if they start laying eggs it would be very dangerous for us we've arranged for bands to play in the v. . just to make noise to try and scare the locusts away. experts warned that india's food supplies are also at risk if the invasion isn't controlled before the end of june that's when the monsoon is due to arrive in northern india and locusts mature and breed a little bit broader al-jazeera new delhi in china what's being described as a suspected explosion has killed 6 people at a hydroelectric station others were injured in the south west province of you know on investigations began into the cause reportedly during a dredging operation on friday hundreds of people living in a colombian slum are facing eviction despite having nowhere to go during lockdown

authorities in the capital bogota have declared their hillside homes to be illegal . more than 100 families that live in this hillside slum on the southern outskirts of bogota are expected to be evicted in coming days despite having nowhere else to go in this fight to the country still being in the middle of the coronavirus last down many of them have a rival here to build this informal housing fleeing the country's internal conflict others are venezuelan migrants they all say they've been suffering greatly during the lockdown being and able to work with other hundreds of families have already been evicted their houses demolished in past weeks and the people here say that the police used excessive force to try and push them out of their houses. if you destroy the houses all we can do is build

a shelter with the neighbors well we supposed to go if you don't even have enough to buy food now the minister of housing has at least in theory banned all addictions until the end of june in response to the pandemic but the city out sorry these are saying that these informal houses are illegal and that there hill itself is at risk of a landslide so these people need to go and now but to avoid the kind of clashes that we see in 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 housing bonus to find something to rant about the community say that 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 to colombia for colombia to respond to the kind of means that the poorest of the poor have during the 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. thousands of people have turned out in the french town of mo burrs to protest against job cuts by the automaker remo. the most plant has been shut down since friday after renner announced it was slashing $15000.00 jobs worldwide the company's been facing a slump in demand made worse of course by coronavirus charges in the u.k. so they're seeing a sharp rise in people needing their services many were already struggling to get by before the coronavirus pandemic now things are so bad that parents can't afford nappies for their babies people are going for days without food or insley looks at the issue now from stoke on trent thank you let me emphasize 3 nothing more than if

you want to know what the sharp end of the coronavirus crisis looks like now then take a look in here it isn't a health care issue stoke on trent hasn't seen as many cases as other parts of the u.k. it's what weeks of isolation has done up to so many people. mark is a barrister by profession but with the law courts closed he's given his time over to taking supplies to people who have no means of getting their hands on anything he's been asked to deliver to emma and her children she suffers from anxiety and can't leave the house the facts contained enough to keep them going for a fortnight and how they need it it would be very difficult yet. maybe case what the software has been to probably go without food to make sure the kids have gone. to the aftermath the full. next stop is heartrending claire has 2 boys aged 2 and 4 they both have chronic lung conditions if they left the house and her husband could

people there's far less cause for optimism he was really jarring about all they saw the newspaper headlines that say that britain's about to go back to work and things are going back to normal well that may be true for many people but clearly there is now a whole section of the community in this country which could barely cope before coronavirus and now is genuinely in suffering so i hear it or actually hayley who set this place up well before the virus changed everything is now running at least 700 delivers a week and every week it increases she's worried about what happens when the government announces things have gone back to normal the local businesses the small businesses those afton fail at all of such ups for them it isn't going to be back to normal so for us to demand is going to stay like this for a lot longer well do i think 33 or 4 'd of them take many months ago policy advisers in london identified a swathe of society they called jams short for people just about managing since the virus hits those people plainly cannot manage at all what the future would hold for

them without the intervention the violence is hardly bears thinking about largely al-jazeera in stoke on trent. funny after 3 months of lockdown some more signs of hope in a survey is monuments and museums reopened and that includes the leaning tower of pisa with its views of the tuscany the reopening coincides with a national holiday weekend. republika. at half past the hour we'll take you through the headlines on al-jazeera protests have been going on in several u.s. cities demanding justice for george floyd a black man killed in police custody the national guard's been deployed to minneapolis for floyd died while a curfew and state of emergency has been declared in portland as well meanwhile the former minneapolis officer derek showdowns been arrested and charged with murder
