our probably. the brother more here from after. the north america more foreigners you know paris. out of province. cannot agree with her. go no no no no. no no no i want her to be don't want to. i don't know if you're in a paper or whatever you want to work. or floyd's family says an independent autopsy it commissioned says that george died of a fixation from sustained pressure on his back and neck preliminary findings from an official report found that underlying health issues contributed to his this the evidence is consistent with mechanical is fixed as the cause of death and homicide

as the manner of death 2nd autopsies in certain cases can be very important to confirm and or dispute the original diagnosis to answer those unanswered questions to collect and document evidence. and most importantly to determine the cause and the manner of death. well john hendren is live for us in minneapolis as such although how does the the independent one that the family commissioned square with what we've been hearing from prosecution is another's because it does seem to be 2 different narratives here. that's right it sets up a situation of 2 competing autopsies we haven't seen the official launch ops the from the end up in county coroner's office but we do know bits about it because it's mentioned in the charging documents that prosecutors used to charge the police officer derrick chauvin and they said that there the police contributed to george

floyd's death but they also said that it was not by its dixie asian and they mentioned that he had some underlying health conditions coronary artery to read artery disease in hypertension that is completely contradicted by the independent autopsy which says it was s. fixie ation and that in fact not only was it is fiction but that it wasn't just the officer with his knee on george floyd's neck that caused his death it was also those who put their knees on his back there were 3 officers who kneeled on george floyd just behind me there and that autopsy says that his lungs were compressed and that stopped air going to his brain also cutting off air through his neck having this same effect so this is going to be something it's going to be argued about in court and there will be competing sides taken on this absolutely and in the meantime of course we can see you know the protests are continuing in minneapolis

and across the country to see protesters are likely to take the advice of george floyd's brother terence that we heard a little earlier where he effectively was asking people to start the violence. but that really depends on which protesters we're talking about like here at the memorial this is always been a place of peace and people come to. we're in a shorter mood you'll notice the buildings here have not been looted. and they come here to lay flowers to pay their respects to give speeches there is music and it's as sober but kind of a festive mood in thousands of people here these protesters probably will not stay out late maybe some of them will but there's a different group of protesters and sort of more hardcore groups and in the 1st 4 days of protesting we saw the burning of buildings we saw the looting and in the last 2 nights after a 1000 extra national guard troops joined the $700.00 national guard troops who

were always already here along with the hundreds and hundreds of police we sure police very aggressively cracked down on any gathering of protests long after curfew they came in in force they used rubber bullets they used your gas and they were very very aggressive so i expect people will come out late tonight and break that curfew but the police may once again own the night as they have the past 2 nights john 100 new be monitoring developments for us there for the moment john hendren with the latest from minneapolis and of course george boyd was killed john thanks. well the u.s. president has reportedly urged the state governors to take a tougher stance against protesters say they looked weak in their response u.s. media reporting that donald trump told governors to dominate during a phone call on monday and make sweeping arrests he made the call just hours before the national guard complete with military style vehicles were seen arriving at the

white house to bolster the perimeter security. well let's cross live now to share for a tan see who is just outside the white house where more protests are taking place so people have been gathering there for hours of course several nights and days of this where an hour away from the curfew what's the situation in the atmosphere. they are like now she and. it's interesting the closer we get to that kathy the more people seem to be arriving hundreds of people just arrived from that direction from the capitol hill direction or there was another demonstration outside congress looks like they will monster of a hitter outside outside the white house the white house is behind the hundreds of protesters over that which they will be contained sealed in and we have the the ranks of the fully uniformed in combat gear police who are standing by we understand the national guard is somewhere around that too so it's all kind of dependent on now what happens this is always in the police's hands it seems now

especially since donald trump has been calling for a robust shows of superiority and dominance there's that fear that in his own backyard the national guard in the police will feel they'll have to have to react about the charge that they are it's close if they were using kid gloves yesterday that they did what they will we will see the police through these situations is sort of randomly strike out of protesters pepper spray not down people anyone in front of them at a certain given time and on retreat back and we've seen a few times protesters here clearly employing on the police to take a knee to get on me to show that they understand what's at stake it was the demonstration of the n.f.l. player calling him and it felt good to protest police violence but instead of taking any they pepper sprayed the crowd or tear gas the crowd rather than like that makes you wonder whether the police force here is fully cognizant of what this is all about which is actually over use of force by the police anyway we're going to keep an eye on things like that but at the moment we're joined by some of the

protesters here they don't want to give their names which is very interesting i maybe i'll get into that in a minute but why are you here today what are you trying to achieve we want everyone in the country to know we want you to know we know that you know now you can't hide and say that you don't know how we are being treated we know that you know we know that your parent basically ignoring you when you stay home and you laugh at the jokes that your uncle tales we now. we're veterans in the lead been in an environment where we raise our hand we decided to fight for this country and even adventures we're still treated when we're in the military a 2nd class citizens and it has to stop it's not fair it's absolutely not fair and i hate to say it i am glad that n.c. thing has brought this attention to the movement and i'm sad that it had to come this way but if your cities have to ban it they have to be tuned down the national you because you had a king and we captured neil peacefully you had a chance the end he decided not to and this is you these are your chickens coming home to an exodus of this narrative both good protesters and by protesters and you

know well you know we're on your side but we don't understand you know we don't really understand the argument when people start showing their rage through burning something things on fire and what you make of this the strike this time to divide the protesters up like this i personally didn't write i wouldn't lose i wouldn't burn a building down but that is their right as american citizens to demonstrate how they think i think their peaceful protest is a much better option but the american people have left them no other recourse other than to burn down their cities but what do you think anything is changing i mean look what is the we have told trumpet office we have the police with varying force was getting more militarized even just in the locally here is it are you seeing the beginnings of time no absolutely not i've been down here for the past 34 days and every day i have seen protesters being pepper sprayed in their face on the frontline for absolutely no reason no that's not change you're doing the exact thing thing we keep complaining about when a truck driver drives through

a crowd of people protesting just because you feel like you can drive on this highway at this time that's a man who died in a spot he wanted to drive on that roll at the things on in is absolutely not there are you so much for joining us or disagree too much about revealing your identity we just heard from minneapolis authorities that they're going to start using the technology for call. tracing contact tracking that was being developed for covert 19 to know investigate the people they're arresting to see who they've been hanging out with and what are the people that maybe they can arrest and so on this is a kind of a chilling use of the technology that we've been discussing over the last few weeks and have been discussing the civil liberties implications of sometimes what's clearly as we as we will move the process has been warned that these technologies for surveillance for disease can very easily be then used to surveil those who authorities feel are their enemies not seems to be what's about to happen in minneapolis where we're keeping an eye on things over here curfews in the us that around and share of i don't know whether you know this from where you are but we've

just heard that trump is actually due to make some remarks at the white house rose garden at 615 local time which is actually what 4 minutes from now i know i'm asking you the impossible to predict what president might say but what do you think he is likely to say. and we've heard that there's been a debate in the white house for some time about whether he should make some kind of national address but he has such a poor record of calming things down. to charlottesville the to protest about racism which will this be not to debate whether he's going to make things worse whether he can be controlled what's he going to say i mean as soon as we heard that there was a possibility of him making a statement on the road is gone the rumor mill around here went crazy because when it's donald trump you know i. want to say to me too but we have no idea what he's going to say but we are we are looking forward to hearing what he does have to say and we do know that the national guard here we do know he's calling for an immense

dominant show of force against the protesters and that's why they were a little bit worried. i wonder if she have any as you say there has there has been pressure on donald trump any aspell can since the killing of george floyd but maybe to try and make a unifying address this is of course an election year could you argue that it's not in his political interest in the center of the make a unifying into. yes for the nation. it's clear that he wants to appeal to his base and certainly the talk of your scolding the governors of the u.s. and saying that they're all we can you've got to be stronger that will appeal to his base but then again he can't just rely on 30 percent of america for the elections so it's it's you know he's. it's true that the base of his father will win the elections but he does need others to vote for him too so i mean i think that's why there's a debate in the white house as to how far just to give red meat to those who frankly you know want to set the police on black people you know nothing's really happening you know and how and how far he actually does try to have some sort of

unifying message to appeal to those swing voters who perhaps are looking for a president to show some leadership and unity of this time and not just a blood and guts and run revenge ship do you think that there's anything that the president can say when he comes out of the rose garden in a few minutes at least that's to speak then he will stick around until he shows up but do you think there's anything that he could say to pacify the people there around around the protesting outside the white house. i guess a department of justice special prosecutor and independent investigation the cooling for one of the police officers involved in george flood's death to be apprehended and arrested federal charges i think that wouldn't have it would it i mean i think i would i would go a long way but that unfortunately what we've been hearing from the attorney general dollars is quite the opposite that the penalties the protest is not what's clear is

the protests this focus on simply the protesters and this nebulous idea of some terrorist plots that this would never be something that americans will galletly would do to rise up against racism it has to be fanous it has to be the russians i think much as they bothered ministration people it's like susan rice it can't possibly be organic of our people would never do this this must be instigated through outside some. these are changes that we've heard ever since you were the sixty's the civil rights they used to say martin luther king was trained in communist russia and so on you know this is just always what we hear it's trying to deliver. the protestors that are the good protesters and the bad protests so when you get followers lives it's like a rock room the entire message now we possibly engage because no this is about people's livelihoods that are in the business is burning down so you know we're going to concentrate on that instead of the actual issue get this is where people wouldn't be burning down businesses if this wasn't such an angry society is result of the inequality and people would be losing civilization frankly if they have.

they would there was a systemic racist economy in the united states of slowly documents or serving only things were committed but i remember going through everything we've heard so far if he speaks i think you have to wonder whether it's going to be one of these bellicose speeches about how weak the governors are how the president has to do everything himself and just to remind the viewers we are expecting the president to make some remarks at the white house rose garden to see the podium right there he's due to start speaking well about now so we will be waiting for him to show up in the meantime we can speak to shipwreck hansie who is outside a virtue white house. as she had of course this is something that's been going on for decades for centuries really but for decades even when there was president barack obama in the white house a black man in the white house and things that can change enough do you think that bizarrely the fact that donald trump is seen as such

a divisive figure might actually push for more change that that in itself might create the momentum needed for serious and real change in the u.s. . for you that's a good point in the sense of the we've liberals who live abroad obama would easy on him let's face it they wouldn't join these protests. they would say well look in the end we have president obama he made such a lovely speech i mean and heat and the argument it did begin on some elements of criminal justice from at least when it came to oversight of police forces local police forces and things like not all there i think what's missing a witness missing from barack obama's approach is this important just attempting to refer individual police forces when the entire system and that includes the economic system is completely systemically flannelette and his it is it is discrimination against black people in the 1st place you can't i think it's a completely pointless enterprise in the end then the police let's face it the police what is the police force in the united states there are agents all. those

used to capture slaves for on behalf of london is and then when urban centers were developing they were hired by the rich to police the pool and can to protect their property i don't think that's necessarily change does it say i mean if i live in tulsa stomach changing and society really isn't it you can't just say all right we're going to monitor the baltimore police department for you so you believe chuck you've got to do you know you've got to change here it's about the entire system and not that barack obama did he just bailed out wall street and not impunity i mean you know we talk about looting but to close the loop the looting that we've seen from wall street the precipitate of the 2008 financial crash for example prohibited gives everyone a pass in the system continues if nothing happens but is that system connected to police violence that that we have to really be it's a systemic point which i did this in some ways what was trying to be argued by some of the new figures in congress but he sounds of course is talking about this you know that you think that's really good joined up approach to all of this you can't

just like hit one thought ok here we go. no no you are lucky fellow said she was having. this is what we've seen over the last several hours they suddenly. people start running. puti from i can see the actual police massing on that side now. so i wonder if they're advancing. so you wonder whether that you know but but what seems to be happening in the hall sounds is the police will advance the police i would have thought scaring everyone enormously and then the onus retreats again to really is about keeping everyone on edge in some ways that there isn't any attempt to sort of to carry out the space it's just simply moving through it in a very threatening manner and we may well could happen once the police start moving with because they can and they have been firing pepper spray and tear gas with abandon at anyone who's been front of them so clearly there's a lot of fear all this coverage among the protesters here as to when

a police advance means that i do see a strain on the case and of the police advancing and stopping and then maybe even retreating a little bit. just about creating may have tension if anything i'm sure there's some police training handbook philistine or under the philosophy behind this but it's kind of perplexing i have to say because it does is make everyone a little bit on edge a little bit more enraged because she have the curfew there is you come into place in exactly 40 minutes but you were mentioning that in previous nights actually the police started taking action before just you know about half an hour before the curfew actually came into place is that correct. yeah i mean you were in the well it sort of just keeping our presence felt scaring people who might be thinking about still sticking around and say look we are here and we have no compunction about using suppose that you know in quotes non-lethal force although as we know people can die from tear gas and rubber coated bullets. but that's a such

a stupid idea of danger here to me on our sume again i mean how do how do you get into the mind of a police officer who along with his colleagues moves forward pepper sprays everyone in their way even peaceful protesters. i mean this is a strategy here you know i mean we don't know unfortunately we have actually asked to go into training courses in the past but we don't really get very. or anyway but it isn't if if we're talking about a police force that is showing remorse and solidarity with the people after police violence we're already seeing it now i guess we're not seeing it there of course we have seen some elements of that with police forces elsewhere in the country here we will be checking in with you again as things develop there and just to remind us of viewers we're also waiting to hear from president trump who is shuttle to make some remarks at the white house rose garden any time now she had outside the white house thank you well we were speaking about president obama there was she had

a little earlier and the former u.s. president has actually offered advice on how to change american society following the death of george floyd in an open letter he wrote the choices in between protest and politics we have to do both we have to mobilize to raise awareness and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform if the anger could be effectively channeled obama obama said it could be a real turning point in the nation's long journey to live up to our highest ideals and the presidential candidate joe biden has vowed to address what he described as institutional racism if elected this november by then has been meeting with black community leaders at a church delaware it's the 2nd day in a row the biden has left home to address the growing unrest and only the 3rd time that he's been seen publicly since the coronavirus lockdown began in march is also how it held a virtual meeting with the mayors of cities badly affected by the violence.

california's governor says the u.s. has failed to address systemic and institutional racism the black community is not responsible for what's happening in this country right now we are we are our institutions are responsible we are accountable to this moment let's just call that out we have a unique responsibility community in this country and we've been playing service about that for generations. it's cross live now to rob reynolds in los angeles so rob the protest still going on behind you and it does seem to be very peaceful. or harbor is president trump or anyone else wants to know what a peaceful protest looks like this is it is are people exercising their rights to.

read your political opinions and just peacefully gather and protest as guaranteed by the u.s. constitution the police here on like where she was just a few moments ago in washington and kept a very low profile there's no menacing lines of police officers we have seen them drive past on their way to we're not sure where we did see the kind of jarring sight of a truckload full of fully uniformed fully armed national guards been going up in that direction about an hour ago but we have been monitoring to the best of our ability what's been going on in this city and so far there do not seem to been any incidents of violence or ransacking or burning of course it is early in the

afternoon but i think it's notable also barbara that in fact 2 protests that were scheduled to take place today in various parts of the los angeles area were actually canceled because the organizer said we don't want to be joined by people who whose intentions are and do not match ours in other words do not wish to peacefully protest but want to take advantage of this of this situation so you can hear the chants. what's my name. floyd briana taylor no justice no peace. and you can see the signs saying black lives matter and you can also hear the body and but all of these motorists passing by. forking to show their support of the people who are gathering here at this intersection in the west for santa barbara. of reynolds with the latest from

outside or near that protest there in los angeles thank you. all social media has captured thousands of encounters between protesters looters and police some feature white protesters committing violence while ignoring please from black protesters to stop and that's open that tense conversation about the role of long black people in this movement castro has boy. oh a black woman tries to cry stop to a group of white leaders in oakland but the chaos drowns her out this demanding a black woman who looked at him like i'm flattered to non-black protesters vandalize a cafe but the african-americans whose lives are actually on the line fear they'll pay let them down no doubt raise them here when i go by what people did and black people didn't do it and in denver. that what we've done is that black activist and school board director teo anderson intervened when he saw

a white man defacing public property i do get very frustrated and. people of color are destroyed during a day or a day and we end up getting the blame for it but we did ask for. the daytime protests organized by black civil rights groups have been largely peaceful across the u.s. . but the nighttime rioting has involved people of all races. whether. non-blacks are allies and are kiss or even white supremacists as some have accused isn't here. and we do not to write our own arms our own salaries and part of that is us letting us. know you are grateful for what the divisions here are not simple protesters of various races in washington d.c. attacked a white man after he destroyed a sidewalk then they turned him into police down and

a young white woman jumped in front of a young black man near the white house blocking him from advancing police the widely shared clip showed a moment of racial solidarity even as many black americans insist they write this chapter of their own history how did you castro al-jazeera washington. gabrielle is on the joins us live now from one of the latest protests this time in new york city as so gabriel what is the situation like where you are it seems peaceful the least of you that i'm seeing. yeah yeah it really is we're actually in brooklyn and we're here because within the next 45 minutes or so there's going to be what we're told is a very large candlelight vigil that will be happening here for george lord one of the 1st candlelight vigils for protest of these kind of this kind that we've seen here in new york in the last couple days so it's all calm here right now you can see people are running cycling just getting some exercise if you will there are

a couple isolated protests right now in new york but fairly fairly small and contained we do expect more though this evening but the big news from new york is that at 11 pm local time about 44 half hours from now this city will go on complete curfew until 5 o'clock in the morning on tuesday that was announced by the governor and the mayor of new york i just a couple hours ago they will be doubling the number of police officers on the streets of new york. this is all an attempt to try to curtail what we've seen the last 3 nights of violent looting that has happened. late in the evening in new york and here in brooklyn as well this all comes after many tens of thousands of people took to the streets over the weekend in completely peaceful protests but as we saw late in the evening minority of the group turned into a some violent acts so that's the latest here from new york yeah i mean it's always

worth remembering of course of the vast majority of these protests everywhere in the country have been peaceful but just want to ask another question because obviously new york has been the part of the country that's been hit by the coronavirus. here the whole city. for a while how these 2. movements are these 2 poles co-existing right now. it is so complicated and it's a great question new york is still the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic that's why we're all wearing our masks and we haven't put it on as soon as i'm done talking to you and it is super complicated because there is still social distancing measures that are in place in new york but it's still the epicenter here but you also still have these historic number of protests as well so when we talk to most of the protesters they say listen we've been inside for 10 weeks now and while we do have the coronavirus on the streets here in new york what many of them have been

telling us is that to taking to the streets in protest is more important in their eyes right now most of the protesters are wearing masks and trying to be as careful as possible but the bottom line is you do sturrock events converging on each other in america's largest city of people historic pandemic here in the epicenter and also historic protests here as well something we've never seen before you know it's pretty incredible times that has. he said gabriel is on the with the latest there from a brooklyn in new york a good release all this thank you. now our white house correspondent kimberly how kid joins us live now because kimberly we are waiting to hear from president trump he was meant to start speaking about 15 minutes ago we're still waiting for him to make some remarks in the white house rose garden do we have any indication as to what he's going to say. we got a bit of

a sense of it from the white house press briefing that took place earlier this was our 1st indication something might be happening as we await the statement from the rose garden i can tell you that the white house press secretary kili mcenaney did suggest that there would be potentially additional assets that's all she said about an hour later we saw the convoy of the carriers carrying military police and soldiers national guard we understand about 200 of them that were deployed parading down pennsylvania avenue and being deployed around the city we understand that this is really consistent with the message that donald trump delivered not just to the governors in a teleconference today but also on saturday when he spoke about the death of george floyd in fact he promised that he would not give into anarchy and not allow america's cities to burn he said leftist thugs will not be allowed to set our communities a blaze we must protect those who have the least so the u.s.

president promised at that time that he would deliver a heavy handed presence in coordination with local law enforcement and this is tricky area for the president bear with me because i'll tell you about 2 different pieces of law in the united states and why the president is navigating a fine line the 1st is posse come a tatas from 878 essentially what this means is that it limits the federal military when it comes to enforcing domestic policies in other words governors have the power not the president he can offer assistance but it's the governors that have to request it and even then they can only play a supporting role now there is a bit of an exception in all of this and this will be the fodder for constitutional and legal scholars if something is to happen in the u.s. president is set to deploy in greater force and that is the insurrection act of 1807 and essentially what this.
