4:05 pm
hey peter and we're starting to see some activity especially with regards to city workers who are in this area trying to figure out where they go next frankly and when you look at the devastation here we want to give you a firsthand look at what's been burned away it's easy to see why they're having trouble deciding how and where to start. pulling things out and piecing things together it's a process that's going to take a long time here the fire was very intense as you can see really gutting just several buildings in this area and leaping 4 stories in the air at times look there are dozens of buildings across the city that are either burned out or boarded up right now and. that's something that's going to continue because protesters say they're going to keep marching here they say they will be peaceful in fact the majority of people you talk to who are out here pushing for change hoping to help the memory of george floyd stay alive here will tell you
4:06 pm
they're frustrated with the violence they're frustrated with the damage and the looting is taking away from their message they say and so peter i think what you'll see today on what is exactly a week after his death is more people turning out peacefully i think you'll likely see some more emotions especially in this area in this community where he was killed and when it comes to those businesses that look as if they've been devastated jay i guess for them the key thing is the economy is in a mess anyway you've got unemployment for 41 heading for 42000000 and those a small local community businesses those are not big multibillion dollar conglomerates can those people take that hates again because they've been hit by curve at 19 anyway. look i think you'll see a lot of these businesses where the owners will be real frank and they'll tell you
4:07 pm
i don't know that i can take this hit that it already is you talk about been very difficult though this city had started to open up there were people starting to come back out and and they were starting to get back on with things here coming back from something like this and you can see i mean this building it's not going to be repaired it's going to be removed and eventually replaced there's nothing you can salvage here and the comeback is going to be extremely difficult for sam i'm afraid peter as you allude to impossible here there's just too much to do there's not enough income money coming into businesses right now to really justify that and then you've got the issue of no employees right now and the inability to pay them it's going to really compound what's been a already very difficult time here thank you very much well a memorial was held for george floyd in minneapolis residents of the city placed

flowers and forces off him and held a peaceful protest now mike hanna in washington reporting on protests there and moves to crackdown on a far left group. protesters once again gathered in the vicinity of the white house kept a distance away by layers of police and secret service officers. invoking the name of the man whose death has sparked these nationwide protests. was the president chose to assign responsibility for the violence that broke out in the past 24 hours singling out the predominantly left wing anti fascist movement known as anti. the united states he tweeted will be designated as a terrorist organization the problem is that there is no u.s. law that would allow a group to be designated in this way and the american civil liberties union was quick to point out that any attempt to do so would raise concerns about the
4:09 pm
constitutional right to free speech adding that a terrorist is an inherently political label that is easily abused and misused the attorney general subsequently clarified that the joint terrorism task force would investigate the violence focusing on whether any group including antics was responsible and washington's mayor called on the president to temper the tone of his tweets i think that the president has a role to play nationally in calming. the the i rest that we see in cities across america and i think at the least he has to not incite violence and that's what we would expect presidential candidate joe biden visited a protest site wearing a mask he talked to demonstrators and then released the street urging the need to
4:10 pm
listen and whether intentionally or not including a picture of himself taking a knee in the manner of athletes in recent years protesting police brutality there were some isolated incidents of unrest particularly in philadelphia where a building was set alight and arrests were made. as the demonstrations continued into the night there were once again outbreaks of violence in various cities. plains flickering a few blocks away from the white house in what police described as renewed vandalism. furthermore what had been a day of largely peaceful protests. washington. to the white house and i correspond there kimberly for mr trump this got very real at one point overnight he was whisked away to the white house bunker. yeah we can now confirm that happen very briefly for the u.s.
4:11 pm
president as these very intense protests were going on at one point threatening the president's security so he was briefly put in an underground bunker to ensure his safety now there is extensive mopping up that is going on around the white house one day after just a string of nights of protests that have left graffiti sprayed on buildings that is being scrubbed off even the lincoln memorial a president known for bringing an end to slavery in the united states that was significantly tagged and of course a very historic church across from the white house park lafayette park who was also briefly in flames it is now smoldering but still standing now the u.s. president for his part will be meeting with the nation's top lawyer tourney general bill barr that will be happening at $1430.00 g.m.t. following that there will be a video conference with the nation's governors the u.s. president will be talking about how to keep communities safe as these violent
4:12 pm
protests spread across the country and continue with each subsequent night now in the midst of all of this is we heard in my chemists report this president continues to point the finger at the far left group that is in militant opposition to right wing ideology and we should point out the truck presidency he continues to point the finger at them as being responsible for these violent protests in fact the u.s. president has intimated that or has said that very expressly in fact into morning tweets he also has weighed in on sort of the discussion that is occurring around the united states that these are organized in nature there has been some discussion that pallets of bricks have been dropped off at various locations around the united states so that there can be sort of as damage as a result of these protests but in the midst of all of this the. u.s. president has not said anything about this since saturday evening now he may have
4:13 pm
an opportunity at 18 g.m.t. that is when the white house press secretary says there will be a briefing as it stands right now the u.s. president not expected to to attend however many people feel that he should be compelled to do so given the fact that he has not spoken to the nation since saturday evening kimberly thank you very much well in some cities police officers joined non violent protest offices in california knelt during a rally there this is opposed made famous of course by the american football player called incompetent in response to police brutality against black people a sheriff in michigan told protesters we are with you before he and all the offices joins the march press the day's news is still to come including. rival protesters face off in brazil is the president jaya bulls another rally supporters against the supreme court. when the job is still hazardous why in answer
4:14 pm
to pay we'll tell you about the dispute for u.s. workers and unions joining the pandemic. in support back in the saddle as horse racing returns to the u.k. . china has reportedly asked its states and companies to stop buying soybeans and pork from the united states it appears to be further retaliate with threats by washington to and preferential treatment for hong kong u.s. president donald trump announced the move off to beijing said it would impose a new security law in the territory which critics say erodes its or ptolemy hong kong enjoys special trade and travel privileges with the u.s. which extended to the mainland china is also his president all to revoke the visas of chinese students accusing him of racism. woman. we've heard of the u.s. to immediately stop restricting and suppressing chinese students in the u.s.
4:15 pm
by using various excuses immediately revoke the wrong decision and respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of chinese students in the united states katrina beijing correspondent hi there katrina certain looks as if china is very much upping the economic pressure here. it could be we've had no confirmation from beijing that it is in fact holding these imports but it could be a shot across the bow at the trumpet ministration in retaliation for these threats made now beijing is furious about these threats made by the trumpet ministration and foreign ministry spokesperson john de jenna's we saw earlier mentioned that these threats were that the u.s. essentially had no right to intervene with what china called its internal affairs that beijing had the authority to correct what it described as the deficit and the
4:16 pm
hong kong national security law and also as we heard earlier said that these threats to curb u.s. chinese student visas would amount to racism as well as political persecution but i didn't think the most telling line though was jolly gen one the trump administration that following through on these threats would be in essential essentially undermining the bilateral relationship between the 2 countries as well as undermining the trading relationship but i think that could point to a move that beijing is not afraid to hold these imports or affect that trading relationship in response to this. we at all would also fly in the face of the u.s. china trade deal the phase one of the trade deal which the true side signed in december last year and china during that deal agreed to increase purchases of u.s. goods by $200000000000.00 over the next 2 years but analysts say that the relationship with between these 2 sides has gotten so tense and deteriorated so
4:17 pm
badly over the last few months not only because of this national security law but earlier because of the coronavirus that beijing could in fact not be afraid to walk away from this deal if it deems necessary to train a thanks very much let's talk now to in a tangle he's a china analyst and advisor to the chinese government on economic and development issues he joins us on skype from beijing welcome back to al-jazeera so good to have you here on the news or so for the government in beijing what does it feel of the main pressure points in this increasingly negative relationship with the trump white house. well obviously you know everything that's been stated going after the students going after our professors. the trade deals the hong kong situation also you have taiwan there's been mentioned that shin jiang also tibet south china seas basically every front there is china feels that they're being attacked are they expecting or are they are asking implicitly for this
4:18 pm
administration in washington to do a u. turn because realistically the chances of that happening virtually 0 surely. trump will not a try to does not want to appear weak especially since he's trying to run as a strong man. therefore there's no chance of that i think the chinese have just had enough from their perspective they see this is kind of underlining attacks nothing seems to appease the administration obviously this will have a big effect on the markets when they understand that china is pulling back because substantially you're going to see a real downturn and i don't know that affects donald trump or whether he'll just use as an excuse to say that china did it it might affect him in one particular way surely and that's when it comes to the ballot box was 6 months away from the election jobs president his critics would say that soybean farmers we were looking
4:19 pm
at pictures of them there when we were talking to our correspondent in beijing catrina you his critics would say that soybean farmers have been directly hit because of his policies and now the chinese government brings in a scenario that represents a double whammy for those farmers in the states. well absolutely but i mean it's it's really you know you can't go up to somebody kick them and then expect them to be nice to you in this particular case the farming issue was on the table so if you being farmers were hoping that donald trump would follow through on getting them a better deal obviously he has not he can blame it on circumstances but a lot of them will be looking at him from china's perspective they just i think pretty much have had enough and as far as beijing is concerned they will not take back or rescind what their plans are amounting to when it comes to hong kong will
4:20 pm
they because one thing that the united states and the rest of the world i guess as well as having to focus in on except here is the hong kong has always been seen by china as being part of china yes ok it was a u.k. territory it was handed back by chris patten in 1907 on the part of the how much to the queen however the reality is that the beijing it was chinese it is chinese and it will stay chinese. that's correct there was seized by force in the 18 hundreds and then the series of agreements were forced onto the then government the ching dynasty and china wants it back just like they want taiwan back it's very in word focused country territory they believe is theirs is basically immutable princeton's taiwan is something that they put into the constitution they didn't put hong kong in there because they never thought that they lost it was just simply unleashed to
4:21 pm

with others but i think it's a great idea and they should keep it up on them and coronavirus may change a lot more about the way we live and work if we are to adapt and learn from coronavirus in terms of the way we design our cities and lifestyles then it won't necessarily be a new thing over the centuries pandemics in outbreaks have led to significant changes in infrastructure design and policy that ultimately created healthier safer environments now architects in urban planners are looking at what this pandemics legacy might be like cities with more open shared spaces making facilities like sports venues able to be quickly changed for another use designing healthy of buildings that rely less on a conditioning and more on natural ventilation and lights and posing the question to many of us really need to physically go to work at all therefore making urban centers less congested.

4:51 pm
those another display of solidarity for floyd and bruce morton glad that $41.00 win over union very lean. who scored twice celebrated his 2nd goal by taking any his actions evoking memories of former n.f.l. star calling company who neil it during the u.s. national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice or join us now or stand for german football a correspondent for the athletics 1st of all what's the fan reaction i know it's been played all the matches have been played high and the closed doors but what are their reactions for the solidarity of the players. well it's tough to generalize the fenton reaction because as you said the fans weren't present but their clubs have come out in support of that which a figure significant because it would have been easy for them to look the other way to pretend nothing happened but they have all now in the course of today come out

and supported the actions of the players and even. by munich who weren't involved as far as the protest is concerned all of a con the former goalkeeper who now sits on the board has said that he wants players to be more vocal more often when it comes to the social issues and he backed them as well but how what kind of a punishment are we expecting here for the from the german football association but this is a really interesting question because when we had a similar case it onto nugent 2014 who also made a protest not in the commission of the black lie it's a movement the german if they decided to look the other way effectively they gave him a ticking off they warned him as to not making any political statement but did not punish him nothing that sets a precedent and i can only hope maybe for the sake of this course which i think is you know that's a reset in the bundesliga that this is going to be the same outcome but of course

4:54 pm
a success because all the games with the exception of the 2 we had one team appointed have gone ahead there was a huge fear that you know we would see positive tests and destructions so far it hasn't happened to a form that stays into the 9 games that were still outstanding and yet it's been a big relief that so far it's been relatively untrue grammatic and of course a role model for other leagues to come back later this month off our whole concern german football correspondent for the athletic thank you very much for that. spanish champions barcelona resume their title defense on june the 13th that with the nate kick off against my oka after a 3 month break bustle on our leading well madrid by 2 points after $27.00 and matters when the campaign was postponed due to the pandemic. has confirmed dates for only the 1st 2 rounds of fixtures after the restart and 10 days on matches will be paid behind closed doors. well former no one has been given the green light by
