in seattle at 17. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes another night of violence in minnesota and many other u.s. cities to over the death of a black man in police custody. an officer has been charged with the murder of george floyd which is added to the anger about the way racial minorities are treated by the police. president donald trump largely ignores the domestic

turmoil and instead sees his terminating his country's relationship with the world health organization. also this a locust invasion destroys crops in vast areas of india and pakistan. and in sport we ask if female athletes are being left behind coronavirus. in germany is just crazy but every other women flee in europe has been cancelled. but we are here we go early saturday morning in the u.s. state of minnesota after another night of broken curfew and anger on the streets even the deployment of the national guard did not stop protesters in minneapolis who are demanding justice for the death of a black or being restrained by the police that offers a direct. has been charged with the mode of george floyd but has done little to

calm down the protest as john hendren starts 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. officer gary children who was fired shortly after floyd's arrest on monday has now been charged with his murder but it's made little difference on the city's turbulent south sun demonstrators defied the curfew and a large deployment of the national guard some to get out their anger on businesses

such as the department store and occasionally journalists. others lined up to challenge police who answered with tear gas that failed to control the unrest these national guard troops have been blocking roads 'd and they've been protecting firefighters or they've been putting out the many fires you can see one of them back there but the governor says they're hungry 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 one 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 in

violence have spread to more u.s. cities in washington the white house was briefly on lockdown as crowds front 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 praising 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 $1000.00 event are go on john hendren al jazeera minneapolis at least one person has been killed off the shots were fired at for census in the city of detroit police say someone in an s.u.v.

opened fire on the group the troika is one of more than a dozen u.s. cities with have been demonstrations and as we've heard as they've turned violence in several places resulting in injuries destruction of property and arrests in boston a group splintered from a protest march and gathered outside a police station where they fought with police offices in new york a police van was set on fire and police for street battles with groups of people in brooklyn dozens there were detained and on the west coast highways were blocked in los angeles while further north the mayor of portland oregon has declared a state of emergency the task on am is monitoring developments for us from chicago so in a township minnesota officials are being criticized for poor response what are they expecting today and what preparations by all the states are being made around the country. well this is clearly a moment in american history where what you're seeing is these mass protests about half of american states there were protests last evening and the raids that you're

seeing the violence the fires the clashes and injuries between police officers and protesters are part of a broader frustration of lack of accountability according to many activists over. specifically men of color who die at the hands of the police but again larger issues here of systemic racism disenfranchisement excedrin in many minnesota as you saw last night a curfew implemented at 8 pm and was supposed to stay in effect until 6 am did nothing to quell the violence the governor there said there was absolute chaos in minneapolis and the governor is also admitting that mistakes were made but he says there were simply too many people but more national guard troops will be called to the state he is also saying that he's not ruling out the possibility that the u.s. military will be tapped for the 1st time since the 1960 s.

you have soldiers at 2 of our bases one in new york and one in north carolina who have been told to deploy within 4 hours if called also for the 1st time since the l.a. riots in 1992. you have again a situation where states are now in a position where the violence there is so out of control the police unable to contain it that they're now going to be looking to the federal government today the department of public safety in minnesota is saying they are expecting a quote and international events they're expecting the largest crowds this state has ever seen and many people had hoped that with the arrest of former police officer derrick shah then that this would quote the anger and at least tamp down the 4 days of violent protests but the floyd family and other activists are saying that there were 4 officers total on the scene where george floyd died and that

those other 3 officers need to be charged the white family is saying that they want them to be arrested clearly this is an investigation that is ongoing but i think again judging from the concern about the floyd family and other activists who believe and worry that the other officers involved that night will not be held accountable there's no sign that the protests are going to update the software thanks very much donald trump president of the u.s. is cutting all ties with the world health organization accusing it of being overly influenced by the president also confirmed an end to washington's special treatment of home call to china approved a new security law for the territory is 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 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 beatings 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 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 initiation and dance 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 a 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. difficult pollen as in hong kong she says donald trump's announcement on ending preferential treatment for the territory could be disastrous for its economy. hong kong and mainland chinese officials say any u.s. action will not derail their meant of the national security law but the u.s. says once the laws in place hong kong is no longer sufficiently autonomy's from mainland china which means they can take away the special status which includes policies on trade travel and extradition and analysts say it will be a huge blow to hong kong standing as an international financial center we don't really know what the national security law is going to say and how much will be left in hong kong we don't really know what president trump is going to do you know is he going to be false agents or is it going to be limitations on the margin i

think what we do know is that this is the end of an era where hong kong has really been seen as very much an independent global financial center and now it's going to be an international center part of china going to have its own seats on many of these international organizations so it will lose its identity to set extent in the eyes of the world along with removing the per french of policies from hong kong the u.s. president says chinese companies operating in the united states could come under more scrutiny and there could be travel bans and sanctions against hong kong and chinese officials who are seen as a danger in the city's autonomy and this is where beijing could head back to protest measures raising the already high tensions between the world's 2 biggest economies. we are getting reaction all the time to president trump's world health organization announcement germany says it will cause unnecessary harm the health minister. tweeting in german french and english but

a disappointing backlash for international national health if that 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 one of our priorities for our he you presidency. jeremy you'd he's a researcher. global health politics the dean of the college of liberal arts at the university of minnesota he joins us on skype from deluce germany you'd welcome to news here on al-jazeera what's your reading of donald trump's timing here we are slap bang in the middle of such a damaging global pandemic after all. right you've got the ongoing pandemic you've got to saying that they were going to cancel the trials hydroxy couric when trump has been advocating for in recent weeks and that's really just it's not a surprise they've made this move but it comes out of a timing that is just it couldn't be worse this is the time when we need more unity

more than anything else could it be from his point of view the best time to do it however though because the symbolism is there for multiplied it is so very very strong i mean and is there a grain of truth in his attitude towards the world health organization this is an organization that doesn't see taiwan on the map literally because beijing has a problem with taiwan well if it gets to the issue with an organisation like the world health organization but any of these multilateral organizations it's a creature of its member states so it's up to the member states of the w.h.o. to make those reforms to the organisation that they want to see so in essence donald trump is losing that leverage that he might have to reform the world health organization or to make it better by withdrawing from the organisation he loses the ability to have an influence and if his complaint is that china has too much influence this just opens up a leadership vacuum within the world health organization that china could easily fell ok the germans are saying this causes unnecessary harm harm to whom. well it causes harm to be international cooperation collaboration that's necessary

not just for dealing with the current code in 1000 pandemic but also to all the other sorts of programs that the world health organization organizes it also means that we have to try to scramble now to try to catch catch up with that funny i'd give the world health organization is still going to exist even if the united states is not a part of it but now it's going to have to reorder reassess its priorities and look at its budget and look to see if other member states and other organizations can help to fill some of those budgetary gaps ok the germans are also talking about zeroing in on reform of the world health organization if you had to reform one bits of it it's a massive structure arguably is bloated with too many stuff who is the one thing what's the one thing you would do to make it cheaper more profitable and better at his job. the most important thing that the world health organization needs is it needs more control over its budget has a relatively small budget but it doesn't actually get to control most of that and so as a result it's not really doing what it is best designed to do it's doing what donors

are prioritizing and so we could give the world health organization greater control over its budget it would have the top hour and if there were 30 to actually the sorts of the recommendations that it's trying to share with its member states i suppose the closest model we've got to where the w.h.o. is maybe heading at the moment is the united nations middle east agency you know it does a lot of work with the palestinians there's a lot of work out of israel with the palestinians. lots of people are saying it's bloated with pulling financing of it which they did lots of other people then came forward saying no actually we'll step up to the plate we'll give you more money didn't happen though did it. right and this is you know we have seen the united states pull out of other multilateral organizations like you know and we have seen some element of those funds that are lost being replenished by other sources but not entirely you know and i think that's actually gets to some of the larger issues that that come up you know would present trumpets that we've detail all these reforms but we haven't actually seen very detailed proposals coming from the united

states about what they would like to see the world health organization doing and the idea that that would be able to be done in say 10 days is which is the time between when he sent that letter and when he's announced this withdrawal is just it's far too too quick to make any sort of meaningful reform very briefly jeremy if you had to come up with an organization that does the job of the w.h.o. would you come up with what we have at the moment or would it be radically different it would be quite different you know this is an organization that was created me at immediate aftermath of world war 2 and it reflects the world that exists that at that time this is not the exact same world so we need a w.h.o. but if we had to reform a w.h.o. it probably would look quite different today germany good to talk to you thanks for coming on jeremy in duluth minnesota thanks so much let's move on still to cover for you here on the news hour including dying on the front lines of the virus pandemic doctors improve on their colleagues and struggle to cope with one of the world's highest infection rates we have had people that have eaten days.

also ahead how charities and volunteers are filling the gaps in the u.k.'s welfare system plus. in sport football returns to austria with the players finding themselves with plenty of space. the u.s. is also being condemned for ending iran's sanctions waivers which allowed civilian work at nuclear sites designed to prevent weapons being developed now the french the germans and the british have issued a joint statement saying they deeply regret the decision the waivers allowed companies to work on converting iran's heavy water reactor providing enrich uranium for research and transfer used fuel abroad let's talk to francois nicolo he's a formally a french ambassador to iran he joins us from paris mr ambassador welcome to the news hour here on al-jazeera what does this mean for iran. it

means a lot it means a lot because in fact. the ending of these waivers. run into committing. all the mistakes you know or of by your late king just doing what is left of the g.c. and in fact the american decision is a highly ideological decision it's not in it does not good for nonproliferation the contrary if. international cooperation cannot come to help iran in 2 projects i mean you know who did do the research reactors one in iraq and one in tehran with sawyer useful really following the development of.

progress in iran. iran will be tempted to take things in in sydney sort hands you know and the case of. the tehran reactor it will be tempted to produce its own fuel do if you were supposed to be provided by russia and the fuel is a bit it's a bit sensitive matter because the fuel for destruct there is a new range of men rich to 20 percent and when you go from 20 percent 30 who from time to percent to 90 percent which is the weapon grade. weapon grade uranium. in the ways quite short in flying and so it's a big risk if the it's great i think a big reason in iraq of course the 2nd reactor. be tended to come back to do all of the. old design of the reactor which are words which were

the. nor gripping much good government to do in the movie deal though where it was a ball ok just to interrupt for a 2nd did i can mr ambassador cern's almost counter-intuitive you seem to be saying that the us administration by ending iran sanctions waivers is in effect nudging iran into a place a diplomatic place where it's in more more in contravention of the spirit of the 2015 j c p o e p o a nuclear agreement. yes exactly. the spirit of the letter of course but i believe that the on the. on the tram on the wrong side ministrations side there was a controversy for a while then you it was that then he could not read it through to andy's wave

facilitated international cooperation and that would there were resistance including among the whole. washington administration mr mission is very secretive and friends and was against it it was from pale really uber. who have pushed for this decision which is destroying the degree to try to destroy the disappear way down to its very foundations as if you know in looking the. election of the presidential election gave no chance for another candidate to be able to say we were joined again the just there will be no no disappear we are tour now and ok there is. does this also mean that the trumpet ministration is laying the groundwork so this is some point in the future if and or when iran does what you seem to be suggesting it

might do this u.s. administration can have a heart told you so got moment when they do precisely what they in theory should not be doing particularly when it comes to that issue of fuel being taken outside the country to be reprocessed by somebody else or a another 2nd or 3rd country thousands of kilometers away that fuel stays in the country and is used for another the us administration might say slightly sinister purpose. yes but of course it's not the end of the story now the question is how will the all of the participants in the disappear react act. because here how does your appearance who have expressed a deep regrets that have not said yes what they were going to do you know not consulting consulting is something a bit comfortable would see what comes out of it but in fact the main burden lies

on the on the russians and the chinese on the russians because now the ones. who are supposed to provide. a few. 20 percent than rich fall of the tehran reactor and the chinese because the chinese are the china and the cochairman in fact of the working group on the iraq reactor and. liaise between the other members of the d.c. you know way the reagan deal and the reading and they have the responsibility of you know supervising the design the new design of the reactor and so on so the reaction the goals of the chinese and what not not not not on notes thinking of reaction in words and thinking of reaction acts what what other russian what what

we're doing russian do what we did so any do and then we will see if the europeans are brave enough to have defied i mean to do it to react. in defiance. of and of. this way of a dead american anyway ok france a nuclear thank you very much and just to be perfectly clear when the ambassador there was talking about iraq he was talking about a rock which is the name of a nuclear facility in iran he wasn't talking about iraq the country across the border. iran mr ambassador thank you so much for. gunmen have killed at least 15 people in booking a fast so others are either wounded or missing in a lot of problems following the attack on a convoy transporting traders armed groups linked to al qaida and eisel were being blamed for similar previous attacks in the past. plagues of locusts devastating large parts of india and pakistan billions of dollars worth of crops are being

damaged food shortages this barrage from new delhi. crawling across thousands of kilometers and flying through the air billions of locusts have swarmed large swathes of agricultural land in pakistan and india devouring any vegetation in their path i've lost fruits one thousands of dollars spent all my life growing these trees but all these swarms have destroyed. the un says 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're looking for 6 more and i'm sure we'll be able to pick. the locust which would 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 with the range for bands to play in the villages to make noise to try and scare the locusts away. experts warn 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 elizabeth parata al-jazeera new delhi. 2 days of heavy rain have caused flooding in southern oman usually drawing cliffs inland to become waterfalls and many low lying areas around the regional capital salah are now submerged. staying with the theme here is jenny much of western europe getting pleasantly warm for the northern european summer it is indeed although again you thought rain of course that petered out some very heavy rain across the east as well but yes it is warming up nice across western europe i can show you on the satellite you got all these good clear skies and calls that is a line sunshine through but this is where the very unsettled weather is on the sympatico the heavy rain as i say on the way but it would've been at about enjoying the warm sunshine in northern spain not quite as warm a so very nice across into central and then this is along the line of the thames but of course this whole to try whether there's been prevalent across much of western or for a couple of months it is not all good news so this is in west

a flow and as this is in belgium and this is a situation in the farmers are having to deal with a drought they're saying this is the driest spring they've had for a 120 years so the crops look to not fail but look at about 50 percent of the yields and what is growing is not growing very big asshole so there is actually a dry weather in the fall calls through much of the countries belgium of course included is plenty of cloud around of course the cloud sometimes does help it keep the temperature is lower but what we need is rain but that really is reserved on saturday for much of the east in particular some very heavy downpours across much of batteries is going to work its way south as is it then push on into sunday across the czech republic down into austria and it's a generally very unsettled picture that much of eastern europe that rain also pushing up into western areas of russia and in fact over the next 72 hours we could pick up about $75.00 millimeters of rain but it's warming up slightly to the north that is going to show you these temperatures dip about 27 although the average for june not quite there yet just 20 degrees london is also nice and warm but paris

actually kind of wins the prize by choose a peach of 30 degrees celsius so sunny and warm indeed they'll all be heading south ok jenny thanks very much talks in the news ahead iran as thousands of health care workers who risked their lives to protect others. in the sport will hear what little balls manager has to say about the prospect of his team not being allowed to play at their own stadium. fund counting the costs of credit freelander and hidden debts what is the world owed china what was breaking gadd when countries come pay back loans plus the man behind a $1.00 trillion dollar stock market crash was he a convenient scapegoat for bigger sharks counting the cost on al-jazeera. be the hero the world needs right. washington.

of them bylane to been going on in several u.s. cities demanding justice for george floyd a black man killed in police custody former minneapolis officer derek jovan has been arrested and charged with murder video captured him pressing his knee on george floyd's neck. donald trump has announced the u.s. is cutting ties with the world health organization accusing us of being influenced by beijing. more now on our top story this hour some u.s. police officers have spoken out to condemn the actions of those involved in the death of george floyd that 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

officer. on both aspects other police officers had equally pointed words it's time that we take these bad also as a speak out against 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 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 thank secure should it is it is

experience to watch. and former new york police detective key 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 gabriel's on doe new york israeli forces shot and killed a palestinian man with special needs the police in occupied east jerusalem say he was carrying a suspicious object that looked like a gun no gun was found on israeli soldiers killed another palestinian in the

london and my colleague barbara so we've had this warning a 3rd scientists saying they may be getting ahead of themselves when it comes to easing the lockdown. absolutely at least 3 scientists now who are on the advisory group to the government known as sage of spoken out saying that they have major worries about the speed at which lockdown measures are being lifted in a new and it should be specified because scotland wales and northern ireland have their own timetables but those measures starting on monday include the reopening of primary schools and allowing markets to get up and running again outdoor markets as well as car showrooms now these measures some of them are actually ahead of what people thought coming sooner than what people had predicted and just this week boris johnson was expected as he announced a new easing of the lockdown measures to say that the alert level was going to be

reduced from 4 which means that transmission of copied ninety's hi all rise in exponentially took 3 he didn't make that announcement it remains that thought that's one of the reasons why the scientists are worried they're also saying that they're not convinced that the test trace an isolate system will work because not enough tests are being carried out that not enough traces are actually making the calls and a mobile phone up but supposed to run alongside it won't be on stream for weeks plus they're worrying they're warning excuse me about the fact that the ongoing roué of a do. when it cummings the chief advisor to prime minister boris johnson has dented people's trust in their health messaging and and some of the scientists are saying that really things need to be slowed down while that's still in play so the messaging in itself is confusing people's trust in the messaging if they understand

it has been damaged because dominic cummings this senior advisor an elected official who works so close with boris johnson seems to have got away with this don't do as i do do as i say routine. are people observing social distancing they're the weather's improving people are out in a boat it's the weekend absolutely not only is it the weekend but the government has already announced that from monday people will be allowed to gather in groups of 6 rather than 2 while socially distancing i mean here people are are observing distancing there are groups of more than 2 people clearly groups of friends large numbers but by and large observing the rules which are changing on monday but there are a lot of warnings or 2 from those states scientists who spoken out that given the fact that there are almost 8000 new cases of cobbett every day you still quite high

if some measures are going to be eased they say that would require greater social distancing measures than exist at the moment and in the words of a former chief scientific adviser david king if the can do it if the pandemic was just arriving with the conditions of infection that we see now a look down would be imposed so it's an interesting way of looking at it that they're warning that the conditions mean that if you want to start opening schools getting businesses opening again and so are more people at work you're actually going to get have to get tougher some people expect that to be in the form of making people wear masks and the like it's unclear whether that will happen but there's certainly a lively debate here in the u.k. the team thanks very much. doctors nurses in peru say hospitals cannot cope with the rising number of virus infections and the demanding more government help latin america's 2nd hardest hit country has enjoyed one of the world's longest mandatory lock downs 141000 infections have been reported and more than 4000 including some
