25 degrees that's not one thing by saying at 29 celsius. i care about how the u.s. engages with the rest of the world we're really interested in taking you into a place you might not visit otherwise and feel that you were there. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara starr this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thanks for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes. we could be forgiven for believing the president's words. tower the difference the. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden condemns donald trump's handling of the nationwide police

brutality protests. president trump visits a catholic shrine despite growing criticism that he's using religion as a political tool the 1st confirmed covert 1000 best is reported at the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh and we look at how the coronavirus following on from years of drought is crippling profits from a vital cash crop in zimbabwe. us them across it presidential candidate joe biden has slammed donald trump's response to nationwide protests over racism and police brutality accusing the president of fanning the flames of hate it's been a week since rallies erupted over the police killing of unarmed black man george floyd in minneapolis by then has criticized trump's visit to

a church near the white house on monday when i saw as he's tear gas protesters to clear the area with peaceful protesters. disturbed murder for a prison. that drenched the doorstep of the people's house while you are using tear gas c slashed the stage for all. and saddle one of the most historic churches in the country or at least in washington d.c. . we could be forgiven for believing the princes were in the tower that in principle. we're just serving the passion it was based on the. people is clear joe biden speaking there and the visit by trump to a religious shrine on tuesday has also drawn criticism the president and the 1st lady visited a shrine in the capital all during the late roman catholic pope john paul the 2nd

the catholic archbishop of washington d.c. criticize the move saying it's reprehensible that places of worship would allow themselves to be misused in such a way our white house correspondent kimberly how kids joins us live now and there's been some strong reaction to president trump's walk to the church yesterday when you were live in there is effectively at the same time as the crowds were dispersed outside the white house and then a day later the president effectively does it again once again visiting a religious shrine establishment what reaction has there been. well there's been widespread condemnation now it's not surprising that much of it is coming from democratic politicians who already didn't like donald trump and his presidency and what it stands for but they are once again with within the city and amongst each other there what many say people say is sort of a misuse of the military in order to stage the photo op that happened not only on

monday evening when in vance of the curfew there were protesters that were dispersed as through the use of rubber bullets so that the president could walk across the park and have a photo opportunity in front of st john's episcopal church but you're right it happened a 2nd time today in front of the catholic shrine and so this is something that has been condemned not just by the city's mayor marial bows or who said she was appalled but also many of the local city officials and we're also hearing from the top democrat in the house of representatives nancy pelosi who says that she also was upset to see the president she says misuse the media in terms of trying to what many people accuse the president essentially trying to create a campaign ad research he had to say. that the president of the united states would . follow the lead of so many other presidents before him to be a healer in chief and not a. fan or of the flame and yesterday we saw

a most unfortunate situation where before the curfew the time of the curfew occurred peaceful demonstrators in front of protesters in front of the white house were beaten. some people came out and beat them to the you could clear the area. so the president could come out go forward what is that. and kimberly meanwhile they've banned protests directly outside the white house but we still expect them to take place in washington despite president trumps from this of another night of military response what's it looking like now. right now you can hear the helicopters circling overhead we know but these are not just police helicopters but also military helicopters at times flying very low over the protesters on monday evening it was an attempt to herd them and arrest them for violating the curfew that is in place for

a 2nd night that will take place at 2300 g.m.t. and i can tell you that the protesters have not been deterred at least not by the curfew or by the president's threats they have been protesting around washington d.c. for the most part peacefully for several hours i can tell you that our white house producer chris sheridan is out one of those protests as well as i know you'll be talking to my colleague but he reports back that there are thousands of protesters who have gathered outside a fence that has been a rapid around the perimeter of the white house now i should tell you the presence in terms of the military the police on the white house campus is not as extensive as it was when you and i spoke 24 hours ago still there are riot shields out police with petards and they are ready in case that fence was breached now for the president's part again he has not backed down in his threats that he will deploy the military not just in washington d.c. but around the country and just to give you

a sense of what that looks like on monday evening we know that there was 18000 national guard that was deployed across 29 states there were 1500 additional national guard and also active duty military that were in washington d.c. and the statement coming from the attorney general bill barr is that there will be an even greater law enforcement resources and support in the region tonight meaning washington d.c. he says the most basic function of government is to provide security for the people to live their lives and exercise their rights and we will meet that responsibility here in the nation's capital the u.s. president has tried to make the distinction that he believes well there are peaceful protests in the. day time at night time that's when the rioting of the looting takes place attacks on police in multiple u.s. cities something he says he will not stand for in fact he's called out by name those he sees as responsible calling them lowlifes and losers. can really help it

with the latest there from the white house kimberly for now thank you we'll be crossing live to our colleague who is with the protesters in washington but in the meantime let's go to the u.s. state of minnesota which has filed a civil rights charge against the minneapolis police department over the death of george floyd of course minneapolis is where george floyd was killed while john hendren is in st paul the capital of minnesota state so give us a bit more detail about that john and also what's going on where you are. just as there are protests every day in minneapolis here in the sister city of st paul the capital of minnesota you can see it behind me there are also protests here on a regular basis and we just had several 1000 people peacefully sitting in front of the capitol but just to show you how unusual this era in the united states is if you look up at the top of the capitol i'm going to ask our photon grapher jim to zoom in there you can see armored personnel carriers actually parked up beneath the

steps of the capitol here and there are national guard troops there and they're also surrounding the capitol those have been a perfectly peaceful event there's been no reason for any kind of police action at all but that just gives you a flavor for how extraordinary things are right now there are of course thousands of national guard troops in minnesota right now backing up the police and we've got a curfew was was at 8 o'clock and now it is at 10 o'clock but the past few nights the nights he has been fairly calm on friday night the 1st night it was pretty raucous the 1st night when we had a lot of national guard troops out the added a 1000 for saturday and saturday sunday and monday the police simply shut down the protest after curfew by firing tear gas and rock and. rubber coated pellets. and we're also expecting in the next few minutes to hear from george floyd's.

here his daughter john that was 6 and her mother roxy washington and we know what we expect them to say. we haven't been given any preliminary idea of what they're going to say but one suspects it may be similar to what his brother terence said yesterday which which was essentially he was wrong that people should protest is wrongful death but also that they should do so peacefully terence was very vocal about that he was saying this isn't working when we break things it doesn't stop the movement it doesn't stop the police in a matter of fact it's counter productive so let's do it another way he said he told them to calm down i expect we may get a similar message but we have not heard from these 2 people before so we don't know exactly what they're going to say although there's another little bit of news the governor jim walsh has launched

a civil rights investigation of the minneapolis police department and he is seeking an immediate agreement with that police department to try to change their practices in discrimination in a systematic way there because that is apparently been a significant problem so little bit of news today we're still waiting to hear from the daughter and her mother right now john hendren with the laces there from st paul. minnesota think you. ok well let's go to one of the many cities in the u.s. that is under curfew that's new york city thousands of people have been marching through its streets the man being an end to police brutality the mayor has extended the night time curfew until sunday we can cross the live to kristen salumi now of course it was worth remembering the vast majority of these protests are

peaceful new york like many other cities as seen some violence as well it looks pretty peaceful behind you right now what's going on. yeah the demonstrators have continued to come out in force this is actually one of the smaller ones i've seen today but it mirrors ones that have been taking place all around the city thousands of people coming out to parks marching through the streets closing down some streets here you see them raising of this we've heard the name of george floyd chanted of course he's the man who started this massive wave of demonstrations across the country after dying at the hands of police officers in minnesota. this is continuing i should say despite a very uneasy night last night a very violent night here in new york there was looting in midtown manhattan several high end stores were broken into glass shattered things stolen 700 more than 700 people have been arrested a police officer was hit by a car they believe that was intentional and so on but demonstrators continue to

stay focused on their message and their mission a lot of the speakers that have been talking about this event and other events i've been at today have sought talked about the fact that violence will undermine the message and will distract from the goals that they have of reforming police around the country they're vowing to continue to go out and do what they're doing. most again saying that they believe it should be peaceful. but some are vowing to continue even after that curfew which now is that 8 o'clock tonight after last night got so out of hand the mayor moved it back from 11 pm to 8 pm but again protesters vowing to continue to make their voices heard no matter what the rules are and speaking of the mayor there has been some disagreement between the various leaders all think the new york should be handling a certain way the governor the mayor and of course the u.s.

president i mean trump has been calling on new york to call in the national guard so what's going on when it comes to the actual leadership of the city. yeah at least twice today president. calling on new york to call in the national guard to get rid of the losers in the lowlifes the mayor of the city is very opposed to the idea of having the national guard come to new york he said they are outsiders and not as well trained as law and y p d for dealing with protests in the city but he's facing a lot of criticism after all that damage and destruction last night the governor of new york has also resisted bringing the national guard into the city he also said that. he thinks the police are better trained for this but he's also been very critical of the mayor and the police for the way they handled it he said the police would be better if they're properly deployed and they're properly managed have a listen to what he said the n.y.p.d. and the mayor did not do their job last night i believe that. second

you have 38000 ppi the people it is the largest police department in the united states of america you 30000 people and protect property you the police protect property and people look at the video it was a disgrace. so the mare is asking demonstrators to go home after 8 o'clock to go inside this is also calling on community leaders to help calm the crowds and promote peace and not violence but this is a very diverse and disparate movement very grassroots not one clear leader lots of different groups very difficult to control. chris salumi monitoring developments

there in new york for us kristen thank you. let's go back to washington d.c. now and speak to shia bricktown c. was with protests there for associate when we spoke yesterday you were outside the white house for the demonstration there where are you now and what's going on. we're pretty close to where we were yesterday at the start of the demonstration when you were with us but sometimes judges just over that for example the white house is in that direction but now the topography has changed we now have this 8 foot fence that can be i think mentioned and behind that we now have the ranks of police a military police who are standing by they this is always you know become the focus this is 8 foot fence there's a lot of fence shaking hands banging on the way and a rather. rather a list. of what are you scared of why do you have your shields if you have a fence and so on from the protests is the sense is not be incorporated into the

chance. right now the crowd is chanting you are the french you are the friends. with them this police line this military line says it's not clear what they're trying to do exactly the story that they have a real presence right now there's even a bit more of a relaxed mood but it's interesting with work with people hearing about donald trump threatening to invade the insurrection act if the reality hasn't officially inflicts the insurrection act but we have the military on the streets. of the capital right now these are military police we know that national guard are on the streets over a 1000 national guard to a d.c. based national guard. and the will to federal control not local control the man of the city who nobody controls the city does not have control over these troops they said that these troops should not be on the streets and also watch the capital which is being read by federal authorities federal authorities also inquired

whether they can take over. people city police force we understand d.c. is saying that if the federal authorities try to do that they will get a clue what's trying to protect the rights off the city to control its own security but washington d.c. is not a state we do not have a government we're at the mass the office the president of the congress when it comes to political fads and this is really playing out right now and clearly invocation of themes the right track but the military on the streets we understand the culture of the school the best military units from the military bases around the country from 5 states we understand now based just outside washington d.c. at various military bases but also the 82nd ad but one of the chief police has been called up as well where's all this leading we have to ask ourselves especially with this new federal that's their local control and it's all in federal hands. i mean what happens if he stops if the military and out the main people policing us on the streets of washington d.c. these are questions that need to be debated right now which haven't been debated as

far as i can tell we already saw some of the some of the implications of this last night we were here at the white house but towards trying to town and d.c. . you can see all the little viral video all blackhawk helicopters buzzing protesters military battle chemical is buzzing protesters try to get them to discuss coming out really lay down and try to use them that the wind generated from the blades to get rid of protesters i mean this is a power to counter insurgency technique used in combat zones these are military military plus no policing u.s. citizens but these are military personnel who have trained obviously to kill people overseas so that all sorts of concerns right now but right now we have the sound off that we come to expect we have curfew in about an hour and a host but as we know that doesn't seem to mean that much to the military police and to the federal authorities who are in control of them after all they began to carry out all the protests a half an hour before the cafe so that's. could visit some jones yesterday i will

keep an eye on things yes share be you people are professors several days now would you say that the mood among them has changed after the events of monday evening and especially the speech that donald trump made and some pretty thinly veiled threats really. you get the sense they're going to be move people here tonight i mean i think company said this if the if the intention was to discourage people from from coming to the streets coming to the white house well you know it's just inflame people even more lovely than it was needed to in the cools to action that we were seeing on twitter and elsewhere was mobilized at 5 o'clock stay off the cuff you stay off the cuff you as a determination to stay on the streets now off the cuff you at 7 o'clock which we didn't see yesterday at least in the mood like they should messages that were coming out on social media there is really don't move determination to make voices out right now to make

a presence felt in the white house since since the events of yesterday which you can perhaps understand i guess we'll of course be following how events develop there in the coming hours chevra town see for the moment thank you. it's going to be other side of the country the west coast a curfew remains in place in los angeles which has seen some of the biggest unrest and looting let's go live to rob reynolds now it looks pretty peaceful behind you now what's going on in the city. well you just missed about 10000 people marching that way on hollywood boulevard holding signs many people in the in their vehicles honking horns in support of black lives matter and justice for george lloyd there are still as you can see people walking along here totally peaceful. no

police that i can see. they seem to really kind of keeping their distance or at least holding back in other areas right now so this is hollywood boulevard this is. the day after the death of george. it's another sign barbara of the tires country is rising up in protest. ok rob reynolds with the latest from los angeles we'll of course again cross live to you if and when there's any developments we really are keeping an eye out on all developments across the united states where there are team of correspondents from there thank you well canadian prime minister justin trudeau has such raw gold to find the words when asked about trump's handling of the u.s. protests i'd like to ask you what you think about that and if you don't want to comment what message do you think you're sending.

we all watch. horror and consternation what's going on in the united states it is a time to pull people together but it is a time to listen is a time to learn what injustices continue despite progress over years and decades when i was a pregnant pause if ever there was one now in australia news a crew are the latest members of the media to be attacked by police during the us protests against racism and police brutality and. think

oh oh. australian prime minister scott morrison has asked for an investigation after a cameraman was punched by an officer during a live broadcast police across the united states have been criticized for pepper spraying attacking and arresting accredited members of the press. well the family of george floyd has accepted an offer from the former boxer floyd mayweather to pay for his funeral mayweather will handle the costs of the service on june 9th in floyd's hometown of houston he's also going to pay for memorials in minnesota and north carolina coming out in this news hour a string of landslides strikes india killing at least $20.00 people. medical waste in bangladesh a growing problem made all the more hazardous by the crew in a virus pandemic and latin america's rapidly rising coronavirus numbers 1000000 infections across the continent. i am.

going on. but 1st voters in 8 u.s. states and the district of columbia are taking part in primary elections to choose their pick for the race for the white house president donald trump is likely to face the presumptive democratic nominee that's former vice president joe biden but many states have postponed their vote until now because of the pandemic practical and has more now from burtonsville in maryland. nobody thought that the election would look like this just a few months ago everybody wearing masks and they have all this. these procedures in place to make sure people are socially distance only so many can go in one time to vote but in maryland they do something different normally you have to show up to vote or you can in some cases ask for an absentee ballot but the republican governor of the state he sent out ballots to pretty much everyone in maryland average voter so what we're seeing is

a lot of people still goes out in advance and you can mail them in or they were dropping them in that box behind me so it might be that there are fewer polling places but i can't remember time in recent memory where there was this much traffic at the u.s. primary vote so it'll be interesting to see when the numbers come out and i've been speaking to voters both democrats and republicans and democrats say this handling of these police crackdowns and these peaceful protesters for the most part that they are just fired up even more because they see the president is really stoking racial tensions to make his base happy the same time i talked to republican voter and he said for him it's all about immigration he thinks the president did just as much as he could when it comes to the coronavirus and the economic fallout and then he claimed the protesters for the police actions so you're seeing people really dig into their political identity that said the president's approval numbers are falling quite a bit there they're really quite down quite a bit in just last couple of weeks so this election will definitely be

a referendum on u.s. president donald trump and how he's handled all of the different crises. a bomb has exploded in a mosque in the afghan capital kabul at least 2 people including a well known cleric were killed and 2 others wounded people were at the was iraq con mosque for evening prayers that sent clear who was behind the attack. landslides of killed at least 20 people in india's northeastern state of assam homes and residents were buried in mud and children are among the dead here lopez hayat has gone. and entire village rallies to save a neighbor among those who survived the landslides along indians bark valley for other families a loss of hope and no need to rush to an ambulance as this man carries a lifeless body. families were still sleeping when the landslides

a major global issue the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit just because it's lawyer doesn't mean it cannot be priced what about the guy that can afford it guys tell me is water in a new 2 part series al-jazeera examines the social financial and environmental impact of water privatizing loads of water on al-jazeera. welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on our u.s.

democratic presidential candidate joe biden and donald trump's response to nationwide protests over racism and police brutality he's accused the president of fanning the flames of a. president trump has pose for photographs at a shrine honoring a late roman catholic pope the archbishop of washington d.c. has condemned his visit same places of worship should not allow themselves to be used in such a way. and thousands of protesters meanwhile across the united states are continuing their demonstrations a week after the deaths of george forward in police custody curfews have been imposed in a number of cities including in new york for the 1st time in 76. lashley howard is an assistant professor of history and african-american studies at the university of iowa she writes about black protests against racialized oppression and joins us now from iowa city madam thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera please put this in some to some kind of historical context for us

especially for an international audience how bad are these protests and could this really be a turning point in race relations in the u.s. . well i certainly hope so because we haue long history of this type of violence i think something that people often forget that even though we see these flashpoints and violence rather of interpersonal or structural is ever present and constant in african-american light and so it's my hope that these will actually bring about some meaningful change many of the conditions that we protested or are about the same to relook in the 1960 s. obviously cruised police brutality but also disparities with health care with education with access to economic stability but we haven't had that change yet so much really thing is so i mean as you say there hasn't been a big enough change or

a real change but has anything changed at all it especially considering that of course barack obama was president for 8 here is how are these protests now perhaps different than the some even a few decades ago well i think what we're looking at here and when he when he is no i really different era and there are some really key things even though the root causes of the thing they're very key differences in who it people are who she has 1st of which this is occurring during the middle of a pandemic when we're so we know african-americans are disproportionately economically and we also see this to be multi-racial police officers are attacking journalists i presently and finally we see the dawn of social media and this is allowing the people really to tell stories from their perspectives it's been used as a tactical tool but also as a witness in a training tool exactly i mean you have proof there is video evidence that no one can dispute and that then of course it is seen around the world that how much of

a change do you think that brings about especially i suppose in the non-black community in the u.s. who perhaps i guess didn't think the problem was as bad as that. actually it's well i mean i don't think this gets out one of the issues that why we continue to see this type of protest response to these conditions it seems that black voices will actually is never believe it's not enough it seems so many people need to have some sort of picture of that they have to look at these videos for themselves and when black people talk about their trauma when they talk about the violence that they experience their experiences their truths do not. you mentioned a lot of the differences this time around the pandemic social media of course donald trump is in the white house a man who is considered to be extremely divisive and this is an election year and i know we're still months away from the election in a year when things seem to change week by week but how do you predict this might

affect the black vote in the next election well one of the reasons that we run. rampant protest is that people kolata through their own people use that as a springboard we don't really you can't use black readers as a springboard for your own political or economic agenda and so we're seeing a once again a deepening. very ways in which people are understanding this protest and also mobilizing and for their own and i was very concerned by a lot of the rhetoric used to describe the protests a lot of the rhetoric at used to tamp down free speech and i hope people are paying attention and this is something that's not going to continue to happen on a final point racism obviously exists everywhere around the world but the united states is a very particular history when it comes to race relations how important do you think it is for everyone in the u.s. to know that history and actually how well known do you think it really is that al

. it's incredibly important unfortunately i don't think it's very well known i think in american school we're at heart a triumph it was narrative things were bad but then we were on the right history and things are good and we are so on the. and while there are certainly many things that we should be proud of but maire and racism is really a problem that we've not been able to overcome and this is something that maintains we need to have radical change you know we cannot let the systems that we have had in this country so reform persists one way we could do this is finally communities instead of police thinking rebate in the way that police function in our society and whether or not we and we also need to put grassroots organizations 1st and really let the people lead the charge of where we go from here as we mentioned before trump is obviously a very divisive figure a lot of people have accused him of not trying even trying to bring the country together do you think in

a way that could shift the focus away whereby people sort of accuse the man for the situation that there is as opposed to the system itself as you were just outlining well this is part of my concern with the discussion of outside agitators that's been circulating a lot nearer media that people are coming in and foment well and while there may be some isolated cases here and there what ignore is is black rage and black read and how people are really trying to move this long up with history that we've experienced i'm hoping that people take this protest seriously understand the grievances and truly listen to what black people have been saying for a 100 years madam thank you for your time it's been fascinating talking to us the howard assistant professor of history and african-american studies at the university of iowa thank you thank you. now officials in bangladesh have confirmed the 1st coronavirus related death among range of refugees

pictures last forever but justice never truly comes in this time and time again we're fighting these cases everybody at home is wondering right so happening right protesting that's happening. just in here and they're a very emotive message from george florey family the little girl of course you see there is 6 year old john and his daughter her mother spoke roxie washington through the 3 years about the fact that her daughter now no longer had a father and how she wanted justice for george floyd and we also heard there from the his brother is. happening in minneapolis right now the place of course where george floyd was killed let's let's listen in to the lawyer who's speaking with. gian is with you that there is. no fantasy this.

so this whole process cycle. and i ask you. and we plan on fighting to make sure that happens even with new policies being instituted with the investigation that was announced today we have to see further steps. so this never happens again. well that will take a few questions. and their very best cation that was announced today we have to see further steps. but this never happens again. that will take a few questions. and

very very. he was so happy to have he was there he slept the whole time there i went but when he heard her cry she gathered she woke up and asked yeah ok i'm like you know baby came. home. i'm left with.

a large sink job opportunity. heat. up just take the stance of those he lives we still have it they can make shit you know any schizo cannibals bad a full. 8 living here working. that was my dream for me his whole reason was coming out of this was to give it away he said so incumbent bob was going to be about a lot of be upset about his whole reason for being in that minnesota was to work in practice rock that's why he came here and he was doing it he was doing great here it was time to care and in this had he. so he was doing this for. so we help ya see the. human side of george and not just pictures and videos on the

internet and then he has a legacy a beautiful legacy that no matter how rough thinking out of the world looks right now this beautiful little girls have a bright future. and you know i can see that jack see it with them guaranteed that . make sure everybody accountable and make sure that our future is bright so now see this beautiful little face when you think of that memory and when you see images or something outlandish trying to bring things to the destroyed man's name you think of the kids. every single time. yes yes yes yes you know this is not just the presentation i have this is my brother 6 year old daughter i have a daughter so this is my precious guy i want to know why i'm here why i'm. here because he's not going to have to live without you. because it is right this is here. and think. like my brother

a really good system at that. desk where he writes me that. that was george floyd's brother terence. and in that news conference there by the family we heard a very emotive speech from his from george ford's daughter's mother roxie washington explaining what a good and devoted father he was 6 year old john was there as well and and we heard from the brother emphasizing again how he wanted to get justice for georgia floyd ok let's cross not the same poor in minnesota elsewhere in minnesota and speak john hendren john obviously you were in minneapolis up until yesterday you've been following the details of this case it's really interesting to see the emotive aspect of all of the family speaking there very much trying to i

suppose show that the family you know that george floyd as a father as well. they've all done a really good job of humanizing george floyd because it's so easy when someone dies at the hands of police to be dehumanised is a criminal and one of the things they want to keep reminding people is that he hadn't been convicted of anything there was a dispute over an allegedly false $20.00 bill that's what this whole thing was about and then police came in in extreme force and held him to the ground there's a dehumanizing aspect to watching police hold someone down you generally assume that person did something wrong and what they're trying to say is that george floyd was a human being that he was a father he loved his daughter he came here to work and drive a truck and the bottom line is they're trying to say he didn't deserve for this to

happen to him nobody deserves that to happen to them and as i've talked to so many african-american men who have said that it could have been them no matter what their social status you know one wrong step in a confrontation with the police they believe it least anyway that that could happen to them so this was an effort the latest effort by the family of george floyd to offer a human face and to talk a little about why it is so important to ensure that steps are taken to make sure this never happens again and also the brother emphasized the necessity and a desire to get justice for george floyd remind us where we are when it comes to the legal process and actually holding people accountable for his that. is right so there were 4 police officers involved 3 of them actually had their knee on george floyd's back one of them the one we saw in that now famous video was derek show of and he was the one who had his knee on george floyd's neck he is the only

one who has been charged he's been charged with manslaughter and 3rd degree murder and he was charged in a matter of days i believe it was 3 or 4 days. before he was charged and that's exceptionally fast for the wheels of justice to spin particularly in a case that involves a police officer but the riots in the street certainly push that process forward so what we've got is one conviction but the people out in the streets are demanding 4 i'm sorry not a conviction one charge one officer charge they want all 4 of those officers charged and you know possibly some other people in the police department might have been in a supervisory position and we've heard today that the governor governor tim walz has launched an investigation a human rights investigation of the minneapolis police department for potential systematic racial injustice. minorities are about 40 percent of the

population in minneapolis or about 67 percent of those involved in excessive force cases with police so the governor is saying there's something wrong with those statistics and something needs to be done about it so he's launched an investigation and meanwhile he said he wants to come to an agreement with the minneapolis police department to immediately change some of their policies to make it more racially fair. and john on a final point briefly if you can that why don't we when it comes to the protests and the people that have been turning out home where you are minneapolis around the world as far as you can tell what are they waiting for to stop the protests when it comes to the george floyd case. with the answer i get most often when i ask people how long you'll be out here they say as long as it takes for some of them it's the arrest in charges against all 4 officers but really this is about much more than

that the whole black lives matter movement started because one young black man after another was being killed by police usually unarmed and they want these kinds of events to stop so the streets are going to stay full in many of these cities until they get some kind of satisfaction but i'm not sure we really know what that satisfaction is maybe they had some direction from washington other than sending in national guard troops they might be satisfied with that but you just to give you an idea of how unusual the circumstances are here in america today. we've got up there those are armored personnel carriers in which military national guard troops are you know we're short of time so all ended there. ok john hendren we can say that will of course cross i live it to you. again in just a few minutes we're going to take a quick break but do stay with us we're going to have the latest on the george
