a tweet saying if protesters had broken the secret service ring outside the white house they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs and most are ministers weapons i have seen the reference to vicious dogs seen by washington's mayor muriel bowser as a throwback to the police use of dogs on african american civil rights activists decades ago and in an extraordinary tweet often the mayor lashed out at the president in the white house saying and i quote while he hides behind his fence afraid alone i stand with people peacefully exercising their 1st amendment right after the murder of george floyd and hundreds of years of institutional racism there are no vicious dogs and ominous weapons there is just a scared man afraid alone. into the night crowds continue to gather within

1:06 pm
took it over in the day well in the evening the police came back in force marching toward the protesters shooting helots and firing tear gas it all took about 15 minutes to disperse the crowd we spoke to some of the protesters and this is what they had to say they treated state drawing gas so let's not. have a bullet if you know me i've got picked up in the now. we need our justice we need our justice the city would not rest until we get out just no justice no peace does that mean we are one officer has been arrested and charged with murder but there were 4 officers involved in the arrest of george floyd that ended in his death now the crowd says they want to stay out here in the streets of minneapolis despite the curfew despite the police presence until all 4 of those officers are arrested. will protests have continued into the night in los angeles with some people looted stores and lit fires national guard troops were called in to help the
1:07 pm
police use an irritant similar to a gas as well as rubber bullets to disperse the crowds peaceful demonstrations were held earlier in the day this sheriff is a journalist in los angeles she says many processed as became concerned when they had offices from immigration and customs enforcement or ice on the scene. was a line of white protest the standing between the police. people of color purchases of color and they were linking arms to try and protect these protests the problem the police on i * have also been seeing people you know really panicked talking about the pot they put the ice is being cold on the news coming to the area i saw a lot of people to start off i don't know if it was a very minor affair is that i saw a lot of people discussing leave the protests off about a mile on but that also being quite a few instances of white protests is throwing objects actually on the protesters of
1:08 pm
color it's turning around and putting and this is a few so far it's really going on inside parliament because this is a peaceful process this is about justice and this is about a lot of. you were trying to punish him for something that is violent which is not what we want will for decades incidence of excessive force being used on black people who have let's talk led to talk of reform but little action in march of 1991 video of rodney king being beaten in los angeles with world constant on the world the acquittal of offices involved spawn days of riots in february 2012 trayvon martin was shot dead by a member of a neighborhood watch group that led to the launch of the black clubs matzoh movement there were several high profile events involving police officers in 2014 including every gun and michael brown and a 12 year old tama rice in 2015 for degree died in
1:09 pm
a police van in baltimore also in the custody of 6 police officers and just over a year ago philander christie was shot and killed during a traffic stop earlier we spoke to rosa clemente a community organizer with black lives matter a group formed after the death of trayvon martin 8 years ago in florida she says people are now at breaking point. every 28 hours in the united states of america an african american native person south asian person or brown person let the you know are killed by the police every 28 hours george floyd unfortunately was something we have to watch for 9 minutes but we could talk about briana taylor and teen who was working during the global pandemic where police entered her house while her and her boyfriend were sleeping they thought they were being rot and her body was so riddled with bullets and this is last month in louisville kentucky that they had a hard time even putting her back together i can name you. tony make day
1:10 pm
a black trans man that was just killed 2 days ago by the police in men says and i could spend 5 hours with you all and i could not even answer or we wouldn't even both to the lists of multiple police killings this is a not only a tipping point it's an explosion and within against this global pandemic until all those cops are respite until they go to trial until they get jail time and then serve that jail time i think we're going to be seen this a lot more for many many weeks here in the united states. al jazeera correspondent gabriel elizondo is in new york he says events there were calm all day until small groups sought to cause him trouble as night fell. chaotic scenes here in new york city late in the evening i mean union square area of the city you can see that some of the protests turned out to be violent in
1:11 pm
a way this is where the real heart of the major conflict between police and protesters were was held after nightfall at one point more than 2 police vehicles were set ablaze we saw helicopters are still at this hour buzzing over the air and there are groups of protesters still roaming in certain areas but earlier in the day we saw tens of thousands of peaceful protesters take to the streets in new york to have their voices heard at one point they peacefully protested right in front of trump tower in front of a heavy police presence and then moved down the streets of broadway down to downtown new york city where one point they were greeted by applause by onlookers these were mostly young people all of whom said that they were out here for a reason i'm here for george floyd i'm here for all of those out lost their lives he's the taliban i'm here for black america i'm here for me i'm here for my family
1:12 pm
i'm here for all the america and i'm here for those who can't be here today well i think that america is sick and we have to root out racism and i think that white people need to stand up and do something instead of sitting on their couch and posting on their instagram stories this is a manifestation of anger as one man just told me says this is what happens when people get fed up many are exactly that here in new york they say stuff like this is just property that can be replaced but the life of george floyd can't be. brian levin is director of the sense of the study of hate and extremism in california state university in sunbonnet do you know he was also a police officer in new york he says fringe groups stoking disorder. we are fooling ourselves if we believe that the systemic bigotry which takes place in the united states and elsewhere is in some way just limited to police but i think what we've
1:13 pm
seen here is we had in rapid succession 3 horrible deaths of african-american people who were on arm and. the country is demanding an answer. and i think there's a difference in what's going on a lot of white people like myself feel oh that's a terrible thing but what we don't feel is it is going to happen to us most of the protesters have been nonviolent that's the story behind the story and what we seem are interim loper looters and extremists from from different sides trying to exploit this but i can tell you that i'm hearing from my friends across the country who've been involved in nonviolent protests that the majority of these protests have in fact been peaceful in till such time that this the smaller number of people exploit that and what that these people do is tarnish the moral imperative of the
1:14 pm
effort that all of us have to do with rolling up our sleeves to advance racial equality in this nation. the former vice president joe biden says the past few days have made it clear that the u.s. is a nation furious about injustice donald trump's democrat rival that's what he is as well for the white house said violence cannot be tolerated the act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest it should not drive people away from the just cause the protest is meant to advance let's get the views of one american ex-pat now what's happening in his home country he is keith richburg he's director of the university of hong kong's journalism and media studies center he joins us from hong kong keith richburg welcome to the news or as an ex-pat do you see these pictures as being unsettling when you when you're sitting down and seeing absorbing what's going on back home. absolutely absolutely unsettling you know because we've been we've been dealing with more than a year an hour and a half of protests here in hong kong and stealing see at least in general be
1:15 pm
against protest years and journalists not receive the i turn back to the u.s. you know it's equally distressing and i have to say you know i'm you know i think i remember being one years old in 1970 when the train had one of the worst riots in american history we were just up until that point in time i believe and and seen those images of people burning down going up their own neighborhoods there are shops there on which are stories that all barber shops you know what's this precedent 1st of all will see people doing that again but and secondly distressing because you know only detroit right of 67. could do something called the current war that took a look at race relations in the u.s. and it said that america was moving towards 2 societies one separate or both separate and unequal one black one white and it's just distressing to see that a lot of why many years later we're 50 years later we're still dealing with the same problems all other multiple narratives in play here though i mean is this disintegrating into something else we're seeing losing with seeing what looks like
1:16 pm
the police overreacting in certain locations to certain small scenarios and community leaders going on international television saying look come down protest is protest criminality is something else. absolutely don't criminality don't looting burning down shopping centers stealing things that has absolutely nothing to do with the legitimate cause of police brutality and as we've been witnessing here in hong kong you know the same thing happens where you have peaceful protests against what they consider you know rollback of their freedoms and on top of it you see a smaller break away from that and they start smashing banks they start setting fires that were a mile off cocktails that gives people reason to try to the spread of the entire peaceful protest movement and i'm afraid that's what i see sadly happening in the us not where all the peaceful protests against this horrific murder of george floyd were not being overshadowed by the violence one op ed just gives that gives one
1:17 pm
sided chance to say they're all just we're all just loans i think even the president that we're loans and it's we. we've seen race riots in the states before we've seen race riots of course around the world before as well is it your sense that you'll country is no more than ever before at some sort of tipping point but it's difficult to define what that tipping point actually is. and i would put it exactly that way we always think we're at a tipping point but i thought we were at a tipping point because 1st you at this point demick going on and then on top of that you have a greatest economic crash since the great depression want to claim that's near the near that they are over 20 or 30 percent this one like that it's ridiculous levels and they are on top of it and by the way i would say that that one form of black hole and well that 90 s. was affecting minority communities more than others and the top of that you have this minneapolis police officer from by and they still assassinate
1:18 pm
a black man with his knee on his neck and that just you know i think we're all a combination of that exploded things we haven't seen riots like this a compass in a company so many cities since 1968 that's what's going to amazing about this you have the rodney king riots of 1902 but that was largely confined to los angeles riots in baltimore because of a great killing but all of these kind of were isolated to one area once that ferguson was very well seemed to be spreading down to big cities but also smaller towns you know in north carolina and south carolina and indiana so it seems like there's this sort of combustion that's going on here people were just angry fed up that up quickly as police killings of black men that have attacked also the economic situation going on it seems like something combustible that says and again we don't need leaders or putting out gasoline on the embers understood when you talk about politicians sending out tweets and pouring gasoline on the embers was 6
1:19 pm
months away from a general election in your home country is somebody who studies the media the message and the messenger when mr trump 2 days ago clearly want to distance between . him and what was evolving on the streets one day ago he had to talk about it so when he actually begins to talk about it and then clearly wants to politicize it and joe biden goes on twits a and comes up with something that doesn't really take this any place else what's your feeling what's your reaction when you see that kind of dialogue being laid out in front of people. again i go back to 1968 and i see a repeat of what happened then that you had riots in the streets demonstrations against the vietnam war and race riots in the in the wake of martin luther king assassination are you hadn't basically richard nixon and george wallace deciding they were going to play to one side they were going to take the law and order aside that's what trump was doing this tweet about you know when the looting starts the shooting starts he was quickly was playing during the loss and richard nixon well
1:20 pm
when the wop on the other side in 1968 if you look back and look at the video or what senator robert f. kennedy it amounts to an hour the assassination are those things one of the most beautiful hewing speeches that possibly imagine that you really got so the crowd was ready to be angry and when it's happened i know something about i know something about sadness i meant something about assassination but what happened my daughter or we need a voice like that on the other side the evil of getting more healing message are out unfortunately in this town social media age of twitter and 24 seventh's news outlets think or i don't think i don't like an oist or. perhaps president obama's voice might be able where we might be able to come up with something to say he will but again that's i feel my fear of the country is so much more divided than it was 50 years ago keith richburg in hong kong good to talk shit q thank you very much thank you on this sad occasion. china's use america's racial unrest to criticize
1:21 pm
washington's policies on hong kong politicians and state media compared us process to the anti-government movement that gripped hong kong the last year u.s. politicians can enjoy this site from their own windows quotes one chinese editor wrote today let's get live reaction to that hong kong our correspondent there is difficult parlance to do if you're not missing a beat on this one. not at all they're certainly taking of this opportunity throw back the comments they made the us politicians made about hong kong's protests and riots right back at the u.s. now chinese state media has been giving the protests and the riots that is spreading across the united states almost blanket coverage with constant updates and editorials showing that their viewers and the people who are war ching telling
1:22 pm
them that this is what democracy looks like now you mention that comment there the that came from the global times which describes himself as a tabloid under communist auspices which basically is a mouthpiece for the government and in the editorials is thrown back phrases like a beautiful site something that nancy pelosi the u.s. house speaker had used to describe the pro-democracy movement in hong kong and the protests in hong kong so they're definitely taking every opportunity they can to show the u.s. that their support for their saying the support of hong kong protests and the movement here in hong kong is hypocritical compared to the actions that they are taking in the united states and that global times editorial also make made a point of saying hong kong had nearly one year of protests and there was no talk of sending the army and meanwhile the u.s. within days of protests had talked about sending the national guard an army in there and they're also 1 asking the u.s. whether the u.s. politicians and the u.s.
1:23 pm
president stand with the violent protesters in minneapolis like they would stand with the protesters of hong kong that was one of the main slogans during the hong kong protests now to give this some context peter in the past week the chinese apparatus in the chinese central government had announced that they were going to impose the national security law on hong kong which the u.s. sees as too oppressive they said that it would take away a lot of hong kong's for. dems and rights the us had it drove the us president trump to call hong kong no longer autonomy us once that law comes into place and a us president trump also had the announce on friday it would take away hong kong special status economic and customs trade agreement they have a phone call and if that national security law came into place and that was seen as a rebuke to china so now china is taking this opportunity to show the us that they
1:24 pm
too can make comments and make judgements on what is happening in the us with social media users making comments like oh should we call the us ambassador summoned them and talk about the human rights abuses in the us a throwing back what the us normally comments or assess they will do if they see any actions on our any china china as they see china as you know and forcing human rights abuses so it really is china are almost mocking the us now that they have their own issues thank you very much. more news from what's going on with the corona virus pandemic around the world the main aspects of the story today the al aqsa mosque in occupied east jerusalem has reopened its doors today that have been closed to 2 months to contain the virus we're supposed to be asked to wear face masks and bring the very force of joins us

1:26 pm
a so that they were going to essentially rely on the worshippers themselves and so far it seems to be going off reasonably well there hasn't been a huge crush of people it's a sunday it's a working day and in the best way to describe the atmosphere is one of sort of calm festivity and quiet relief that finally after so many days without access to this 3rd holiest site in islam really the heartbeat of this community here in occupied east jerusalem the gates are open again and once more they have access to this very important space perry thanks very much. to nasa astronauts on tuesday dock with the international space station in a few hours' time as they begin a new era in extra terrestrial travel they are the 1st americans to blast off aboard a privately built rocket from florida and a galaxy has more. very few but here if it. was after a previous weather delayed

of current. virus in the democratic republic of congo a climbing fast activists have stepped up to educate people on how to stop the spirit all of the disease is among us it is killing people it is continuing to spread and the challenge is indeed to read agape these doubts that i'll be nurtured among our population was the volunteers are up against many who don't believe coded 1000 is in the congo and blame protective measures for a loss in income. but the baseless no longer works become a word seller but i make my money and we are told that the disease is in this country but we don't see that disease here where all of the body. i myself have been sick more than 4 times during this period of coronavirus but i treated myself and i assure you that corona virus has nothing to do with it. public skepticism started with the 1st reported case in march which the health ministry in
1:35 pm
tribute had to abound in citizen linseed it was a congolese citizen who denied being sick politicians and business leaders have publicly accused the government of hyping carve it to get more international funding for compounding skepticism is a lack of tasting in the 2 months since the 1st case listen 5000 tests were conducted for a population of 84000000 that's going to be the word here is that in that article but when you go of it as you can say it is a disease that's not knowing here and people think it doesn't exist so we must explain it does exist and also make people aware of the steps that need to be taken . a surgeon conflict is heightened concerns in the last 2 months nearly half a 1000000 people have fled fighting in east india see the biggest displacement in the wound is they sprayed so does the virus. campaign is it called the congo or
1:36 pm
a boat without a captain. but the 1st challenge is to convince citizens virus is dangerous and anonymous shall not balance and to 0. now if you feeling anxious or depressed in zimbabwe the go to person is called a go go their grandmother's grannies waiting with a few words of comfort to help anyone in distress and them shorter age of mental health problems during the coronavirus locked her metasearch has more on that story from the city where. i have been pullin with is what's known as a community grandmother a volunteer local culture psychiatrist she waits on a so-called friendship bench for anyone to come and talk to her about their problems. but with the coronavirus pandemic she can't be clients anymore you know i think as you could see when it comes to go to who this is so she gets free therapy sessions using social media platforms such as perforation danger and i know your mother at the friendship bench people come with many problems some are
1:37 pm
depressed because a family member has died or they are sick some talk about suicide for others it's domestic violence abuse cases. often can't leave home because of the nationwide lockdown when the young mother needs someone to talk to she records of voice message and seems a to help line number what i mean when i think of it. then she waits for a reply from a community grandmother. going down in a way missing in may print told me that. this global when you've got a problem when you tell we here is the secret there's no one who is going to know what. the it's only you in the world health organization says in some countries mental health problems often go undiagnosed and something had been stigmatized and discriminated against i think maybe one of the biggest challenges
1:38 pm
is the cultural. in which we live in where most people haven't really accepted mental health as a problem that they can actually face and secondly because they may not understand that they're actually facing or experiencing a mental health problem health experts say globally there has been an increase in anxiety and depression as people struggle to cope with kotak 19 and job losses most people in work in the informal sector settling in busy markets and on the streets that's no longer allowed because of the coronavirus pandemic millions. african countries often don't have enough psychiatrists working in public health care these granny say they are trying to help as many people as possible at a time when lock downs and travel restrictions are a way of life. al-jazeera. ok let's talk to dixon he's founder and director of the friendship bench the mental health network mentioned in that report from her so he joins us on skype from harare
1:39 pm
dickson the welcome to the news here on al-jazeera also the particular problems that grandmothers are good at talking about and giving you advice giving you support but grandfathers are maybe less good at dealing with. well that's a great question so in this current environment or scolded. the most conspicuous challenges that we are going to deal with or that the grandmothers are having to deal with is actually intimate partner violence the whole crisis around you know being isolated. is a clear and and socially and it's not so much that grandfathers can't can't manage these challenges right from the beginning from the inception of friendship ange we realize that grandfathers tended more to be you know prescriptive
1:40 pm
in in helping people whereas the grandmothers create space for people to share their stories and this is what is really all about and that's why grown mothers tend to do more so the work ok and when you talk to sharing something in space is that the key thing it's not that the people who go to the grandmothers want retribution the they don't want somebody sanctioned or arrested by the police if it were talk about domestic violence they just need to say it out loud i've got this situation and i've got a good guess that maybe the grandmother they're talking to has been through something not dissimilar in the past. yes so in essence they need to the empire word you know and of course in some cases we do get the police involved in zimbabwe we have the. violence bill and so actually you know intimate partner violence or domestic violence is illegal in this country and so the grandmothers
1:41 pm
can use that instrument as well through the police stations but i think by and large what we do really is empower people so that they can solve their own problems you know we create a forum for them to be problem solvers does it also mean though that yours is a male dominated culture and if it goes to the authorities whatever the issue may be there is a natural predisposition on the part of the authorities to believe a man if a man was complaining about something as opposed to believing a woman. that is changing actually and the grandmothers that work on the friendship range these are really powerful women you know and you know they are essentially the cuss theaudience of local wisdom and culture and they have a strong voice and they are capable of making things happen in communities and so

just step closer to securing an 8 bundesliga title and are all they thrashed 5 nil off today but given dusty scoring twice the needs a top scorer now what has 29 goals this season and are now templates clear at the top of the table. nobody takes into it's the 4th game off to the restart no and of course the challenges are anything but normal you get used to it all gradually and the way my team are ramping things up and how they are performing is very good i have to say i'm just a little proud of that. and the frank di sheikh ahmad us lot of the and 85th minute went out to secure a 21 victory at false bug the result lifting them up 5 points away from the relegation zone with 5 games left in the season also stayed 6. well they don't have the chance to come by and lead to 7 points later on sunday when they face.
1:53 pm
want to grab back to take on f.c. union in a few hours time when it will lift them to 4th. but tell you what was slowly getting back to normalcy assyria teams that have resumed training with the season set to restart on june 20th much as i have been suspended since early march some during a coach close year on year he says his team will face a huge challenge to stay in the league as they sit 16th in the table with 26 points from 25 matches just one point above the relegation zone national are similar to their citizens our main motivation must be always to be all the time above the relegation zone because we are not absolutely certain that we are going to finish the championship so as we don't know that it's better to be in that position in order to avoid any scare. all combat sports have returned to the fight capital of the world last vegas on the sasha day the ultimate fighting championship stage an event there will be tiring woodley in what was the 1st fight night in the city
1:54 pm
since mid march so happen behind closed doors boxing will turn next month with top ranked staging 6 events there well joining us now from new york is ring a magazine so raw innocent guy ryan so how huge is it that the combat sports have returned to las vegas. why i think it's very big in some ways that restores boxing however temporarily to the statue that it once enjoyed ignite states a 100 years ago when it was more of a mainstream sport i think that it sends a strong message that boxing was able to return for other sports like major league baseball or the national basketball association and there is a tremendous appetite right now for live sporting events even that are under these different circumstances with the closed door events i think that people are hoping
1:55 pm
to have some new content to to watch because there's only so many times you can watch classic boxing over and over again so walk saying returns next month but can we expect like really big names are they going to accept fighting an empty arena. i think that there will be some of the bigger names. taking the game back into the ring i think that the issue will be getting the big fights into empty arenas. beds because when you talk about finances are a big portion of a big income stream the live gates that that's not available you can't sell tickets bill is can't sell tickets so i think that for a sale like taste and jury versus deonte wilder the match that's not going to happen probably in the 'd closed venue but we may see some of these bigger names
1:56 pm
take so-called stay busy fights against lesser opponents where they would take smaller paychecks than they would for some of those bigger fights i think it's going to be incumbent on the boxing media and some of the more savvy fans to look at some of these cards and look for the gems there are some hidden gems there which may not be big fights like i think a june 18th isn't. there for morning just reverses my plan yeah that's not a big thing type of that's a good quality match up i think it's incumbent on people to really do their research and look for those hidden gems so ryan they've been a lot of mixed reviews from fans for the u.s.c. and the w w e do you think for boxing do you think it's going to work. i i've talked to some boxes about this and some of them are saying well in my view hard to get upset or get excited for the fights because i'm not hearing the crowd moring in the excitement makes somebody told more combinations. some of the other fighters i've
1:57 pm
said to have said well it's like the amateurs when i had 20 minutes and some of these national tournament there was no one in the audience except for the other coaches so i think that for so i think it's going to be once they the fighters get hit and they realize ok you know what they may not be this big crowd but this is inspiring this is a fight i think that there will be excitement i think that it's going to be i think this is this is going to be right now if there is a honeymoon phase where the promoters may get away with some of these lesser quality match ups but after a certain period people are going to want to see better fights are going to want to see you may not get the big marquee people you type sites but they're going to want to see it even match ryan was a good match making ran a different idea from a ring at magazine thank you very much for that. and that's it from a pizza santa thanks very much mr santamaria is in the wings he'll have 30 minutes
