to movies music for entertainment to escape easy and conflict. composing. egypt's musical my stand on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the out of their news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. utter chaos on the streets of the u.s. capital protesters a tear gas and stun grenades were fired in the streets around the white house. i am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters bold words from the u.s. president though also threatening to deploy military police if protests across the

country don't stop. and then in an unprecedented move donald trump takes the streets to survey the damage in the church during the protests. broke in and were disgusted and cannot normalize this pain and the entertainment industry calls for a blackout to honor george florey. well it's been an unprecedented night in the united states as protests continue for a 7th day over the killing of an unarmed black man there were chaotic scenes outside the white house as police cleared protesters using tear gas and flash bang stun grenades at that exact moment in the white house garden as president trump threatened to deploy the military nationwide unless state governors get these sometimes demonstrations under control. we cannot allow the righteous cries of

peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob the biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities and as their president i will fight to keep them safe i will fight to protect you i am you're president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters but in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer and others and then surrounded by the secret service the president took the very unusual step of walking out to the front gate to the white house making his way to a nearby church that been damaged in sunday's protests well shabba tons he joins us live now from the streets of washington d.c. and shihab the optics were remarkable weren't they i mean just as the president was

speaking in the rose garden we saw that until riot police launched tear gas stun grenades to effectively clear a path for the president and you a court topping all of that when you tell us what happened. right in the now we know why suddenly the police moved without any warning without stun grenades with rubber bullets with tear gas. on protest as you had been there a couple of hours a few hours this is actually before the curfew was was due to begin right there the cuff you began at 7 pm this is around $630.00 local time suddenly we were being attacked which one australian camera crew and i was seeing the footage on the line at least of them being attacked by the police as well that they were by and large however the police have been sorting that all around us as we show our badges at least they seem to have understood peace in our case not to attack us. through wasn't so lucky but they were talking everyone basically on their part as they were moving forward trying to clear a space in front of st john's church and now we have more of an understanding of

perhaps why donald trump decided to to do that to clear to clear the area and to go to st john's church various reports now from the white house press corps that he was very unhappy about reports that he had been moved to the bunker of the white house during the protests over the weekend and so he clearly he wanted to have some sort of show force and he walked over to st john's church as you mentioned what was fascinating the yes it was a photo opportunity a photo opportunity that didn't seem to take into account that we're in the age of video so all he did when he got there he didn't say anything he just brandished brandished a bible and then asked members of his cabinet to join him the defense secretary the attorney general and others and then walked off it was about all could to be onerous. obscene the age of just you know silent newsreel and photographs that might even more of effective as a photo op but but we could just see him do it and he didn't want him to say it was a bit uncomfortable and then he walked back to the white house. fascinatingly there

now we're getting criticism from all sorts of areas the the bishop mariann body who's church that is has a statement i don't want president trump speaking for some drawings he said i'm outraged i'm the bishop of the episcopal diocese of washington and was not given any even a courtesy call that they would be clear. and with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop holding a bible one that declares that god is love and when everything he has said and done is to inflame violence we hold the teachings of our sacred text to be so grounding to our lives and everything we do and it is about love of neighbor and sacrificial love and justice she said not happy the mayor of d.c. also not happy tweeting i imposed a curfew at 7 pm a full 25 minutes before the curfew and without provocation federal police used munitions on peaceful protesters in front of the white house and that will make the job of d.c. police department officers more difficult shameful d.c. residents go home be safe that of course has opened up the. to some criticism there because her curfew that gives very early curfew that gave gave the police in some

ways an opportunity to acknowledge this was actually before the curfew half an hour before since then they have successfully cleared the area now of protesters it's very quiet here we did want to stay here there for because a lot of the focus on the speech of course is all trying constantly threatening to bring the military on to the streets here in d.c. the military already on the streets these are what personnel carriers contain members of the u.s. army you can see it on their uniforms with national guards. or to vests over that but the army is on the streets of d.c. hasn't as far as we understood donald trump invoked the insurrection act which he has to do in order to bring the army on the streets otherwise it's a violation of the posse comitatus act which means that the military can't be used against us but having said that d.c. is always in that gray area because we don't have a governor where always almost at the mercy of whatever congress or the president says i suppose maybe that's just fallen through the cracks and the military is on the streets of washington d.c. and he still threatening to bring more military into the streets of other states if as he says they're the governors of various states to stay being weak as don't

trouble you know calling them weak and says that they need to dominate more but it but it's an interesting constitutional question at least here in d.c. as we see the military in full force around here. all right. in washington d.c. we'll leave it there for the time being thank you very much well let's hear from one of those protesters at the white house now who spoke to shihab before the police fired tear gas at the crowd people need to come out here and like give positive energy give off positive positive positive a push in the right direction against like how do i say this against on. against well the fact that everyone matters everybody has a place in this world. as you can see the energy is had. i want i want a president trying to make better decisions for everybody on his way on this planet matters everybody on this planet has a place everybody has everybody has power and we need to unite so let's

head to head over now to john hendren who joins us live from minneapolis where this all began so john you were there at the scene just show us what's going on behind you that just set the scene for us. there and it was 7 days ago that george floyd lay on that sidewalk there we know from a 2nd autopsy that at least according to that autopsy those 3 officers were directly responsible for his death but his fixation that contradicts a report from the official coroner's office if you look over here you see just that large mass of people that's where people have been chanting say his name george floyd that's where the speakers go hard to see from this angle and if you look up a little bit you can see a man standing up there on that bus stop it's been. kind of a rock that's not organized in any sense so over here is where the food is cooked it's all given out for free you can donate to some of them if you like and then

over here a little earlier we saw a weapons demonstration by a guy who's trying to get people to register for concealed carry weapons and down that street just a short while ago we saw the police come in and we are told that they have surrounded the area it's just over the bus in the distance there so we don't know if they're going to come crashing in at 10 o'clock they have done it here before although this is generally considered sacred get ground so they haven't been coming here in the day but i'd like to introduce you to a couple of people it's maurice and our lucia who are neighbors here moved here about a year ago from houston which interestingly is where george floyd is from so what brings you here to this memorial today. our responsibility. both of our peers all of appearance or we're born without rights to vote. civil

rights movement. my grandparents are. military. do not have the civil rights and civil liberties and. i think it's just our responsibility to be here for me where i know not only everything. biting or just any quality but here. we're here in 15 boy and a girl you worry about him i worry a lot. they're young adults. they're trying to. be productive in their every day my. law abiding didn't think that. unfortunately. when eve can't change your complection or you're in the city. you don't always get an hour to 40 and it could be over something as simple

as going to get back the love of bread from the store that great lighthouse that you didn't realize without any everything goes wrong. or myself i have ancestors. from both sides that were slave masters and ancestors that were slaves so i been taught a history of both. from my mother and my father. and. i have mixed family and it saddens me it saddens me. tremendously bad we can continue to go through this day after day week after week literally. along with year after year it is important to note having your professionals write it. is it really true for people all across the world who don't

understand this is really true that for an african-american this could happen to anyone this this town is the only thing different from what the world seeing now is the advantage of technology right. we deal with this on a daily or weekly basis that the media get it right that know about yet it is just a convenience of technology the name that day everybody screams out not only george cloyd the santa bland to me or right. brianna taylor all those names is just the convenience of you go phone call or the convenience of technology but when technology isn't available we don't you have the defense to say i was innocent or i was doing the wrong is there any reason to believe it's. getting any better these events keep happening and i'm glad you accept and that's one of the other reason why i'm here. and i try to use the platforms that i'm on social media to so not

only you know help support the community and it is about george it is about all the other names of black people have been that have been killed by the hands of police . but it's also a need for change for systematic justice tune and. just that the system itself needs to be changed you know when i stand my grandparents. in the military our parents my our parents didn't have the right to vote. the constitution wasn't written for us. the laws were written for us so so when when we say that if this is a true struggle it's not broken but isn't it was never written for us in mind so those things have to change and we have to change the system in order to make it very unjust where everybody proud of the names of all of these young black men who have been killed by police there doesn't seem like maybe we've gone backwards in

recent years. i don't think we've gone backwards through this thing to saying you know it. again it's it's it's no different it's. just the convenience of technology it's not that videotape that we saw right that you know as the old him goes we shall overcome someday we we feel have yes right you know over right we don't need disparities that no one sees i know i have even a fair complected and i am i have. yeah it's you know my hair is curly here but mostly so it's part of me away. and you moved here from houston in the south and i think most people from out of the country a lot of our viewers. that's where really the worst of the problems are as you move up here to the very north of the united states to minneapolis where you were all surprised that this happened here i can say honestly we were extremely surprised i

was taking a year even before before this incident having a memorial day. it's just a different environment here. they call the minnesota nice but it is not nice to us. we see the different treatments inside. we see different treatment that we haven't stopped the stores and it made me start doing a little research about where we moved to. apologize to my wife and my family even as recently as this week because i didn't know what we were coming into to realize that we were on sacred land of dakota indians i didn't know that i was clueless to somebody history of minnesota and what even the native. people of this land to knew that i never knew those things so yes it took me to be about a minute not a nice. if parts we were trying to figure that out very close to that happening we

just had a conversation really like a lot of things are stand. rather on the professional by origin of the real community. and i'm not saying that. all people are the same however the majority may want straight out and tell you we're minnesota nice but we found out that we believe that men and not denying. it how are you. i'm so glad that you're here but they will never invite you to their functions they will never in my you it's at their home they stay alive but it's not the right. that the thought process in america is the south is is. racist due to slavery due to confederacy and things that nature but. looking deeper into the history you

really understand that. racism in this segregation mentality is this foreign or this world we would have never i'm really shocked really when you see it goes it was before george floors when we start recognizing these things to be honest. we were. so minnesota nice is not really that not. not not from everybody standpoint. you know we have them support yes eventually happen but you have i know personally that they work right alongside me. but now they kept and others reached out they jump on the bandwagon what can i. do are you but they got down south and we're used to speaking to any and everybody yeah. that's one aspect you know that's one aspect i really really take for take home that when you speak to

someone here they just look at you like they are going to need a home at the minnesota nice like they don't need right i wish we had more time it gets it's been fascinating to. share who moved here from houston and they founded the minnesota nice that they were hoping was going to be here. in minneapolis john thank you well for it is in new york imposed a curfew on the city after a large protest on sunday turned violent let's bring in he joins us live from there again. we've been talking to you throughout most of the afternoon and evening just tell us where you are now and what's happening there. yes we've moved we're now in downtown brooklyn right in support of the barclays center a big sporting arena here. it is a little under 45 minutes until the curfew kicks into place here in new york city it is a scene of quite a few people here and what is going on behind me is

a candlelight vigil a very peaceful candlelight vigil some activists that are here for the curfew kicks in in the next 45 minutes to get their voices heard and i want to bring in one of them to speak to us right now i mean best a 23 year old your. freedom actual ization music group you're organized this. group draw a crowd i rejoined why are we doing this tonight we're doing this because not only . basically we are oppressed and we are pressing to keep police officers not press their mind up poison to believe that they have heard. this in the press is all of us black white brown and everything in between we are here to free the minds of everyone so that they understand and liberated enough to take a stand for themselves so that we can all live a life that's free humanity should be able to prosper and we are all humans but we

aren't all together until we respect one another until we take those from underneath us and bring them up with us i mean what what is the message for the candlelight vigil that you want to get out tonight specifically. we firstly want to honor our brothers and sisters that we've lost he's been silent and we also want to take a seat and show that we are not balanced we are not here for violence we do not want to burn everything to the ground we have demands we have negotiations listen to us we want to talk to you we want to have a dialogue you see everyone out here talking to each other i talk to at least 200 people talk to us have a little conversation as i've been. porting for the last few days 99 percent of these protests are peaceful just like this there's one percent that is doing some looting and it's happening right now in manhattan as we speak a little bit what is your message to those that are not bringing your same message word to them to the people protesting and i understand your pain i understand your

pain is down to not poor but that's not the way to go talk actualize organize and fight for something remember there are kids out here i saw 2 little boys out here you have to remember that you are not the only one worth going to injury is bigger than you is bigger than me is for everybody when you saw the video of george floyd getting killed in minneapolis. seems like it still bothers you to think about it. what did you feel when you think about video when i see that. my fellow shoes will come over me. because i've seen so many other videos like it and i know that that could have been not brother my uncle or it could have been me so i felt pain in my heart but knowing that i had to do something so that this cannot continue on trayvon martin was the same age as one was supposed to be supposed to be the same age as me no one should ever have to lose their lives

a police brutality no one should ever have to go through that again. last question i have for you and the curfew is comes into place in less than 45 minutes in new york what are your plans for tonight with you and your. fellow protesters that are right here behind. our encourage everybody so. why there's another day there's another 2nd there's another minute that we can fight this will continue until things change until things change we will be out here every single day but we don't need change in november we don't need change 5 years from now we need change tomorrow he 3 needs to. tonight change needs to happen sooner or later. thank you very much for joining us those are very powerful words and i appreciate you speaking to us on how to sort of thank you so much and. so there you heard it that's a very articulate words there from a 23 year old girl from brooklyn i meet best she i think summed it up very well by

saying a message at least at this protest here a message of peace but also a message that they want justice and change and a system again we're now under under 45 minutes until the curfew begins here in new york city we are hearing some reports of some looting happening at this hour in parts of new york city and manhattan right here in the heart of brooklyn so far it has been very peaceful i think everyone. will stay by all sides by police and protesters through the rest of your promises to be a very long very well or a city or anti-gay bill is on the line for us there in new york so let's move now from the east coast to the west coast where they've been a series of protests throughout the day in los angeles and talk to lucy sherriff the journalist who's been out amongst the protests throughout the day and she's she joins us live from beverly hills so you're on the streets out there just tell us

where you on what's been happening that i'm currently in beverly hills which is completely quiet the copy has now been employed for a couple of hours earlier on today i was at another protest and. i had she spoke to a 21 year old. georgian who explained to me just why he was turning out to. and one here is either had some family member that was affected by these from these people and turned off the crisis but it's literally years of oppression there's only so much people can take that are oppressed with this capitalistic society all this this is what it breeds this is exactly what. people don't want this to happen again this is been happening over and over and over again so now we're all here we doing exactly what they gave us. they gave us this we don't want to be out here

none of these people want to be the here. we already have enough to deal with here do you have enough to deal with this pandemic so now we're dealing with another one that's just been seen here from beginning of time it's been sitting here to begin to know this country i'm lucy we're talking about the curfew that just tell us what it's supposed to start and what do we expect to happen later. varies from area to area so environmentalists a curfew so it's at 6 pm although that was very mixed messages earlier today with text message just listen to out from the city saying it's off the 5 and then saying that 6 so the majority of protesters around 5. or 10 included in a few of us stayed until 6 i met all took up for the most part everybody. i certainly in beverly hills on and but. most people are abiding by dot curfew

however i have just been told. around 100 protesters. who wrote the arrested for breaking the curfew and just before i left. 6 men arrested because they broke. all right to life for us in beverly hills lucy thank you very much indeed for the update. now a black business owner has been shot and killed by police in kentucky on monday amid protests against the killing of african-americans david mchattie was shot when officers moved in to disperse a crowd during a curfew in louisville police say they were shot at 1st the police chief has now been fired and 2 officers have been put on administrative leave with folks right now giving voice to not trusting law enforcement one of the most important things we can do to build that trust is to make sure that we are fully transparent right now about it and if it bears out. that actions were

taken wrongly i guarantee you will act and will act strongly now democratic presidential hopeful joe biden has vowed to address what he described as institutional racism if elected this november biden's been meeting with black community leaders in his hometown of delaware it's the 2nd day in a row biden has left home to address the growing unrest and only the 3rd time he's been seen publicly since the coronavirus lockdowns began in march he said to hold of the meeting with the mayors of cities badly affected by the violence well biden discussed the protests with community leaders in delaware where he condemned president trump's comments on the protesters 'd. you know what is your profession. how do longer. what this is all. nobody can. who have. already 6 gone.

former us president barack obama has written an open letter to americans calling for them to vote if they want real change he's also urging protesters to refrain from violence he wrote i saw an elderly black woman being interviewed today in tears because the only grocery store in her neighborhood had been trashed if history is any guide that story may take years to come back so let's don't excuse violence or rationalize it or participate in it he added if we want to bring about real change in the choice isn't between protest and politics we have to do both well social media has captured thousands of encounters between protesters looters and police some feature white demonstrators committing violence and vandalism while ignoring pleas from black protesters to stop and that's opened a tense conversation about the role of non-blacks in this movement has more. was a black woman tries to cry stop to a group of white looters an oakland but the chaos drowns her out this imagining

a black woman who put in black and matter to non-black protesters vandalize a cafe but the african-americans whose lives are actually on the line fear they'll pay little. doubt doubt don't raise them here when i go blind that people couldn't and black people didn't do it and in denver. that was reporting that black activist and school board director teo anderson intervened when he saw a white man defacing public property i didn't get very frustrated and. people of color are destroyed during aids in our name and we end up getting the blame for it but we didn't ask for it. right 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 it was whether the non-blacks our allies and our kiss or even white supremacists as some

have accused is unclear. and we do not to write our arms our own stories and part of that is yet letting us know what worries. her great book 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. 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 but time for a short break here how does iraq when we come back no longer detached observers journalists become a target for both police and protesters. and one of the oldest markets in the world opens its door for the 1st time in months more and.

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has threatened to deploy the military the state governors can't contain violent protests this past week has seen nationwide demonstrations against police brutality most of the protesters have been peaceful life has also been widespread looting and understanding is a. chance announcement came amid violent scenes outside the white house police cleared peaceful protesters using tear gas and stun grenades. and an independent autopsy has ruled george floyd's death was not a report commissioned by floyd's family shows he died of this fixation he was killed in police custody when an officer pinned him to the ground his name for several minutes. so let's just take you quickly to live pictures now from washington d.c. big change them earlier on though when you saw all those protests being broken up by police a bit earlier now it's all calm the police now pretty much outnumber the protesters

now obviously the big drama of the evening was when president trump gave that address the rose garden and then walked across lafayette park across to the senate john's episcopal church out of a bible had a photo opportunity turn around and left and walked back again. all those protesters were to gassed and had stun grenades thrown at them to clear a path for the president for his photo op but things are much calmer now on the streets of washington d.c. . now president trump has threatened to deploy the military in american cities if states cannot quote the violence there's a law that prevents the government from using the military as a police force domestically but trump could override that by invoking what's called the insurrection act of $1807.00 will act was lost in vote in the 1992 rodney king riots in los angeles the congressional research service reported in 2006 that the president must 1st issue a proclamation ordering quote insurgents to disperse and if that doesn't work he or

she may issue an executive order to deploy troops back says the president doesn't necessarily have to have a state's permission to send in the army to quote enforce nor or suppress rebellion let's bring in debbie hines she joins us live on skype from baltimore maryland and debbie is a lawyer and a former baltimore city prosecutor debbie great to have you back on the program so what are the legal implications then if trump an ax the insurrection law would this still allow him to do what he wants. you know that's a very difficult situation he really does not have the right to implemented in our 50 states which is what he was saying i mean not all 50 states have anything going what and it's got the governor still would have the say so with that and right now we still have a system that could still raise and go all the way through the legal system to make a decision whether it's right or wrong in terms of what he does he just somehow seems that thing that he can do anything he wants to do but we still have a judicial system as well and all of the 50 governors i'm sure do not agree whether

or not their rights in there are there whether or not these i'm dressed in their in their state in their cities or not and we were just making the point in the introduction that debbie that the insurrection or was last used in 1902 that's a long time ago during the rodney king riots in los angeles is there any useful precedence that applies to this situation this week. now i mean and in the right mccain situation it was something that was determined not to sleep with wine at state that was involving one particular area in california and wesson that's certainly everywhere which is the irony of them in the statement that trump is saying that he's going to plant every we have the governors can't get their states under control then he's just going to do it but you know honestly it's scary but at the same time this is the same day and the time it's out of books at this map he does a lot of talking but he doesn't do anything so we have to also keep that in perspective

when we hear what he's saying he's not you know i'm a president and we can just believe everything he says because he doesn't have the time when he say. send the situation's different in different states i mean but do states governor has. come they actually and that's the legal redress come they push back against this absolutely and i did not read or heard or you may not have heard but the illinois governor he's already said that he would push back and then he's one of the ones that i believe was on a call with from and he already you know spoke very much out against the president with the president blew him up but he was one of the ones and spoke forcefully against them letting him know you cannot do that so i think there will be a lot of pushback but i think a lot of times we're just kind of sort of waiting to see because this president just says anything and everything that went with mine at that particular time without regard to how to play out how i could be implemented what are the representations in block grant that any of the other factors that are involved so we just have to see have read happens but i don't think that the governors are

going to just lay down and let him do what he's saying he's going to do you just a final thought from you on the issue of the george floyd case i mean you're a you're a former city prosecutor there in baltimore so what sort of timeline are we looking at for the legal action against david sullivan the the former policeman who who held down george floyd until he died. well we're waiting to see the other 3 officers charged that's one thing we're waiting to see. you know there now been the autopsy report i'm not sure when and where they're waiting for it to try to get other officers it's not clear if they're going to bring it before a grand jury and then you know although joann has been charged with 3rd degree murder they can also raise the charges because right now the because of the distrust i believe that has been sent to the minnesota trying to general's office or keep dallas said who was a former congressman and a progressive leader is going to be the architect going to be handling the case and

that does make people feel slightly better but in fact it's going to be a long way before anything is decided we're still waiting for charges to be brought or right to debbie and we have to leave it there always good to talk to debbie thank you thank here thank you well there was another incident that sparked plenty of controversy last week after it was filmed and posted to social media a woman in new york's central park called the police saying a black man was threatening her chris cooper filmed the exchange after he asked her to follow the rules by putting a leash on her dog the woman no relation was later fired from her job. there is an african-american. for his record only myself and my dog. and i. am sorry i can't hear you that i think right my best friend of. mine. well chris cooper sister melody cooper posted that video you just saw there she's written an opinion piece in the new york times i spoke with her

a short time ago about why she felt compelled to share her brother's encounter. i had posted on twitter several different videos like this that i'd seen. these kind of phone calls that have been made and for it to be my own brother it just struck home it struck a nerve for me and i've been fighting against this kind of systemic racism for a long time and to compose i was afraid because when i saw that i realized that my brother if it in another way police could have arrived could have thrown him on the ground and when i posted it i didn't yet know about george floyd and when i found out about george floyd i i watched that video again and i realized yes that could have been my brother and it infuriated me and it frightened me and i knew that the world needed to see this video so that we could start to really engage in a in a conversation about it and take action to change this kind of systemic racism that

you know the leadership in this country has has encouraged we've seen it across the country for all of those specially over the past 4 years and i thought it was time for it to stop and for us to really address it that's an important point to make melody because of people drawing parallels between george floyd and your brother and when you see what happened to george floyd in minneapolis and many other young black men getting killed by a white policeman do you consider that actually your brother may have been very lucky to survive this this incident with his life yes and i end it when it when i i make a point of not watching the videos that are posted a black men and women being killed because i don't want that kind of pain i mentioned that in the article that i wrote but the other night by accident i have them to catch on the news part of the video of george floyd being killed and when he called out for his mama if it broke me because i have

a son and they hear that from a grown man who has been killed in the next day i went out on i'm in. and i went out to fairfax and i joined the protest because i can use my words but i've been in protests all my life and i knew it was time for me to get out there again and and walk the streets with everyone because it's it is very much as martin luther king jr said it is the language of the unheard that we have to go out in protests like this all right let's take you live now back to los angeles where correspondent rob reynolds is in the hollywood air robbie understand you have a developing situation that tell us what's happening. there we're standing on sunset boulevard in hollywood there is behind me a group of people who have been handcuffed with zip ties they're being taken into custody by los angeles police get out of the way so you can get something of

a better look at these people maybe 4050 people i haven't don't know what they've been charged. all right when apologies for that we were hoping to just find out what was happening there along hollywood boulevard rob reynolds if you can will try and get back to him but. in fact i think he's now he's now back not to worry let's move on shall we the american civil liberties movement has responded to president trump's approach to the demonstrations saying the pro more federal troops to suppress dissent would be irresponsible and dangerous known levelheaded governor is asking for an even more miniaturized response to civilian protests against police brutality and systemic racism for good reason this president must not cause the country and its people even more. well margaret burnham's a professor of law and the director of the civil rights center restoration of justice project at northeastern university she says there needs to be real change to stop history repeating itself. i certainly agree with president obama that this

could be a turning point when i would differ from him though it's the nature of the turn that has to be made the kind of pivot that has to be made in order to ensure non repetition of the kind of police behavior in the police killings and murders that we've recently seen in the united states our president obama talks about reform we've tried reform we've tried to reform the police department we tried to rein in the police department to hold the police accountable and those measures thus far have not worked we need a true transition in the united states we need a true pivot a true correction or. a true movement to a different reality for all of us in a simple and particularly for those of us who are african-american and that requires very very he fundamental change not just reform what journalists covering the protest have increasingly come under attack by police

officers even after clearly identifying themselves to gas has been fired directly at them and crews have been roughed up and intimidated on sunday a cameraman from the b.b.c. was rammed by police outside the white house. and a reporter with the vice film this moment when he was forced to the ground and pepper spray despite identifying himself repeatedly and police fired pepper balls at this reporter during a live report in louisville others have been shot at with rubber coated steel bullets the photographer in the toronto was partially blinded by one while covering protests in minneapolis on friday while the same day a team from c.n.n. was arrested live on television they were released a short time later in the state's governor has since apologized for marty stephens is an international press institute board member she says journalism in the u.s. has been under fire for a while now. if you have 1st amendment protection for journalists journalists are

the eyes and ears was built into the us constitution that the journalist would be a checks and balance on not only government but institutions the government as well including the police see have seen since the beginning of the trumpet ministration a a widespread distrust of the press fueled by the president's own tweets in own words continuing calling the media here in the united states the enemy of the people and certainly putting down the role that that we play in the important information cycle getting information out to the world about what's happening so yes to answer your question there is sort of a feeling by local sheriffs as well as as a member something larger police forces that there's a bit of impunity that journalists are impeding the police's ability to do their job not understanding that the press has an important role and actually can't even

protect the police just certain extent because they are filming everything. is now bringing us some other news from around the world despite being the new epicenter of the virus several latin american countries including mexico and colombia have started to reactivate their economies in chile a number of corona virus infections is rising steadily cases that have passed the 100000 mark has also seen its highest number of infections and that's not a single day where the health minister warning things are only going to get worse. we're doing a lockdown in the philippines comparable thousands of essential workers resorts to bicycles out of public transport was shut down and now it's beginning to ease and it's hoped the new 2 we'll have it will stick around dublin reports. gridlock has long been a way of life in one of the world's most good just cities most of the routes in manila are packed with nearly every type of vehicle and it is anything but friendly

to bike. but for andrew o'malley who works as an emergency doctor in manila choosing to use his bicycle is an act of defiance 4 years ago he ditched his car and got a bicycle he says it has made life easier a particular move their commute costs me 45 minutes so when they started writing me by it was cut down to 15 minutes and i realized. it would save lot more time and even sneak in some exercise along the way. so he invited us to cycle with him on his way to work through. the t.v. we have good programs for howard but like for so many people here biking in manila requires attention and strong navigational skills. one of andrew's we had a flat tire. and inconvenience but he says he doesn't mind since he

doesn't live too far away from work. biking in manila often means navigating through its busiest streets a journey often fraught with peril but the transportation ban imposed by the government has forced many here to embrace cycling to get around commuters here spend an average of at least 16 days a year stuck in traffic advocates see the government has to change the way he sees urban crime we have to be able to the science. infrastructure and the science policy to make sure that the wave of bikers that's about the part that bikers are safe because otherwise if we have an increase in the bikers without the sea then we can see the definitely a big wave a big increase of road crash tests cyclists here tell us the lockdown has made biking a much more pleasant experience here for the past few months but not for long the

government is using its restrictions and millions of filipinos are going back to work but public transport is still limited that's why many advocates here believe more people will now be cycling they say it's the perfect solution in a post and. biking is good for the environment physical fitness and yes even social distancing. now bangladesh was already struggling with poor medical waste management before the coronavirus pandemic now it's at risk of being hit by what's being called a sudden onslaught of single use plastic around 250 tons of medical waste was generated by hospitals last month there challenging reports as posing a threat to public health. for those workers heading into a garbage people in the bangladeshi capital danger lurks everywhere there are tons
