8:03 pm
a shrine in washington d.c. the president didn't speak to the press as he posed for pictures just outside the shrine altering the late roman catholic pope john paul the 2nd it's the 2nd day in a row that he's visited a place of religious significance his visit to a church on monday caused well control the scene to say the least let's go live now to washington our white house correspondent kelly helka can tell us more well what was the the visit to the shrine all about today. well this was a fishley to lay a wreath in was to honor religious freedom but the criticism has been that for a 2nd day in a row the president has used these religious backdrops as photo opportunities to advance his political ambitions even reelection in november and in fact that has gotten a sharp rebuke from the washington our bishop who says i find it baffling and reprehensible and a catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused pope john paul
8:04 pm
the 2nd was an ardent defender of the rights of human beings he would not condone the use of tear gas for a photo op in front of a place of worship in peace and to be clear that did not occur there was no clearing of protesters around the shrine to pope john paul the 2nd but that did occur on monday evening in front of st john's episcopal church the 1st of those 2 events where there were peaceful protesters in advance of a curfew the riot squad essentially put in fired tear gas in order to clear them so the president could walk across and pose in front of st john's episcopal church and that has been inviting a lot of criticism not just from those in the religious community but also the mayor of washington d.c. who called this an inappropriate use of military force and now we're getting a sense of what that military force looks like not just in washington d.c. adrian but around the united states we know that 18000 national guard have been deployed as a result of a decision by this president to support at the call of some governors the law
8:05 pm
enforcement in $29.00 states in washington d.c. an additional $1500.00 added but what that looks like at times was army black hawk helicopters swooping down very low flying low over top of the protesters almost hurting them so that they could be arrested for violating the curfew we know that there is an also increased presence around the pentagon bases in the washington by . all tore metropolitan region at one point even the chair of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley was spotted surveying the troops if you will making sure that the deployment in washington d.c. was going as planned now the u.s. president for all of this despite the criticism he is defending the red head beheaded response in fact he's calling for many cities that are still experiencing violence in the evening in contrast to the days peaceful protest to call in the national guard and the violence that is occurring towards police officers in cities
8:06 pm
like st louis new york and also buffalo he calls those people responsible lowlifes and losers about i can tell you that there is already protesting that is underway in washington d.c. we've heard as we can also tell you that the fortification around the white house is intensifying with an additional barrier chain link fence being erected around the white house campus in parts to try and keep not only the staff safe inside but to quell the violence from the outside our white house correspondent kelly how could reporting live from washington can be many thanks let's get the thoughts all steve clemons and it's a blog for the hill he's also the host of a serious the bottom line you've got the president threatening to bring in martial law branding protesters lowlifes and loses all domestic terrorists you've got his presumptive rival in the embassy election looking every inch the elder statesman talking of reform reconciliation and peace the gloves a woman surely all off on but as far as the elections concern no. i think the
8:07 pm
gloves are off and i think. that americans are appalled by. but there are armed very few republicans at this point who are criticizing the president in strong terms some have said they wished he hadn't said what he did but we now know that there are senate democrats trying to pass a resolution condemning the use of tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters and that the republicans in the senate are likely to block that resolution so as you and i have discussed adrian there are more and more of the spoils being set up where one side that can say don't use violence against your own citizens versus in other side it is acquiescing to the steps taken by the president drama all of this is going to feed into the political climate as we face the november election and i you know someone asked me how long this is going to go on
8:08 pm
and i don't see it ending until the election i see us in this kind of crisis now for many months ahead he's obviously playing to his political base but just how large is that base that is the country still. fairly divided along political lines. yes i mean i think it will the public is divided but it's not divided down the middle he has about 32 percent of the american public it wavers between $32.40 but right now it's at about 32 percent and that means that whether there are democrats whether they're political independence they are going to have to determine which way it goes in right now we're seeing joe biden with a nationwide lead of more than 10 points over president trump as we face the election and we see biden leading trump in almost every battleground state it's important to look at the battleground states because it is those 10 states where
8:09 pm
the election is likely to be fought out and those states and where they go matters most those have been states that gave the election last time to president trama over hillary clinton so right now it's not tilting towards president trump's direction but he sometimes he somehow believes that this muscularity this is very very tough approach. be as declaring himself the law and order president is something that will rally people to his cause save good started many thanks indeed steve clemons there in live in washington protesters from across the united states a continuing to take to the streets to decry police brutality demonstrations and more than 350 cities many of them planned by the group black lives massah along with police forces national guard troops have also been deployed in at least $23.00 states to handle the protests bill de blasio condemned an incident in his city on monday night in which 2 officers were injured after being struck by
8:10 pm
a truck during protests but will not tolerate violence of any kind we will not tolerate attacks on police officers we will not tolerate hatred being created. a police officer was hit by a car yesterday appears to be quite purposeful that's unacceptable police officers shot at unacceptable that does not move us forward anyone who does that is a criminal not a protester we can not move forward in less we stand up together. kristen salumi is asked a protest in new york kristen strong was from the bad but what's he doing to get the city under control how a demonstrator is likely to respond. yes while the mayor has announced a number of new steps he's extended the curfew for the city of new york making it

8:12 pm
and also looting downtown in the merchant district of new york some of the iconic stores that you so see it with new york macy's in the big shopping district were looted and burned overnight so there's a lot of concern among business leaders in town and a lot of criticism. including from the governor of new york he said that police did not do a good job here in keeping things under control he said he believes they're capable of doing a good job but that it seems to we're not handled out last night so the mayor again lengthening the curfew tonight we can no longer curfew that will keep more people inside and help them get this under control. of serious person salumi reporting live there from the protest in new york many thanks indeed to kristen. 6 police officers in the u.s. city of atlanta been charged with aggravated assault for using excessive force during a protest on saturday bodycount footage captured them dragging

8:21 pm
after it was published on of the roma just websites and it took a further 2 weeks for china to provide more information on patients and cases david i xander is a professor of risk and disaster reduction at the university college london he says it's not clear if data sharing earlier data sharing would have stopped the virus from becoming a global pandemic. it is important i think that china was slow to provide the necessary information and that is not uncharacteristic of the way china behaves in these cases it tends to be suspicious and conservative and not to want to share things unless there is a clear good reason to do so richard tends to find out as time goes on on the other hand there's clear evidence that many governments were slow to act when they had enough information and let's also bear in mind that we had the scenario for this
8:22 pm
pandemic for mobile in 10 years and then thought what was happening was really following a pattern that was pretty well known now the full extent of that and the full sirius's this of that could not be known even with the information that the chinese had although it perhaps could be know a little quicker if we all collaborate mole moreover this is a case of sars and the last major case of silos 2003 to 2004 was only stopped from being a pandemic of this seriousness by concerted international collaboration officials in bangladesh have confirmed the 1st covert 19 deaths among rohingya refugees a 71 year old man died in the long camp which is home 260-0000 displaced rangar from myanmar he was among the 29 people who tested positive last month 15000 refugees up and put under quarantine louise donovan is a spokesperson for the u.n.
