rapidly changing the world we live in get breaks it was a slogan that whatever the problem is the boris johnson counting the cost on al jazeera. it is that. she needs that day she does not have daydreaming. a family's anguish the mother of george floyd's daughter makes an emotional call for justice. and i'm down in jordan this is down to 0 live from to how. we could be forgiven for leaving the prince's fortress in the tower didn't turn to. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden condemns donald trump's ambling of the police brutality protests

. and reprehensible after a photo call that a fire damaged president trump's visit to a catholic shrine draws more condemnation. and global calls for justice for george florida grows sympathy and solidarity spreads across borders and continents. now the family of george floyd has made an emotional appeal for justice as protests continue across the u.s. and around the world national guard soldiers have been deployed in $29.00 states as incidents of vandalism and looting punctuate otherwise peaceful demonstrations and i think 5 people are reported to have died in the unrest but the mother of george floyd's daughter has made her 1st public statement choking back tears as she paid an emotional tribute to the father of her child describing him as a good man and calling for justice. well

we're agile way. he wouldn't be able to walk down. if his foot problem see the baby needs he needs that day he does not have day any more. baby. if you only have your. own justice you. protests have spread to more than 140 cities across the u.s. including in washington d.c. president trump has come under heavy criticism for his handling of the crisis in particular the forced removal of demonstrators from outside the white house so he could have a photo opportunity at a nearby church. peaceful protesters dispersed in order for a president the pressure from the doorstep of the people's house the white house

using tear gas and flash grenades going to stage for a long fight on one of the most historic churches in the country or at least in washington d.c. we could be forgiven for believing the french was more interested in power then in french. were just serving the passion that was based on the needs of the people it is clear on a visit to a catholic shrine on tuesday has also drawn criticism trump on the 1st lady visited a shrine in the capital honoring the late roman catholic pope john paul the 2nd the catholic archbishop of washington d.c. denounced the move as baffling and reprehensible and condemned what he called the misuse of places of worship. but people have turned back up at the white house there were hundreds of people outside yet another peaceful protest the curfew is now in effect at least 40 cities of had nighttime restrictions imposed but they

have been thousands of arrests as protesters defy the orders and we will live with our correspondent there shihab rattansi shortly 1st let's go to minneapolis and talk to john hendren where this all began 8 days ago john just watching that press conference from the george family a bit earlier it was tearful it was poignant they had they had quite a lot to say. that's right roger washington had 2 real points one was that george fluid was a good man who loved his family and his daughter was there 'd his absence of course was a good big message there and then the other one was that she wanted to see justice for george floyd and that would mean the prosecution of all 4 of the police officers who were involved in his arrest but it was the absence of george floyd from that family picture and the presence of his little 6 year old daughter giana that really spoke loudest even more so than anything anybody else said and what

they were trying to do is humanize him that something is rather terence floyd did one day earlier and he did that right here at the scene where george floyd was killed you can see that mural behind me is roughly at about the spot where he was lying in the street with 3 police officers on his back and one officer standing guard and we know that the autopsy that the family commissioned was stronger than the autopsy we have heard from before from the official one from the hennepin county coroner that family autopsy said it was the officers kneeling on his back and his neck that directly caused as fixation and led to the death of george floyd that he was dead before he ever entered that ambulance and the family now is trying to humanize him in a way so that people can understand that this was. a person who was a man of peace a family man and that's why you heard roxanne washington talk about how he was

a good man there and john we're hearing that minnesota has filed a civil rights charges against the minneapolis police over the death of george floyd what does this all mean jon. that's right governor jim walsh has been very concerned about all the activity in the streets has been very clear that he's been heavily involved. and trying to get protesters to act peacefully and not destroy property of one of the things he's done if he filed an investigation into the minneapolis police department for alleged human rights violation and wall that investigation goes forward he's also seeking an immediate agreement requiring the police department to change its activities so that it's a more racially fair department that may mean hiring more people of color within the department it may mean changing policies and this is a little of what the governor had to say. i think the thing i'm hearing from the

protestors is you know we're not watching and we don't care what you say we care what you do so today as a step towards that deconstruction of stomach racism the minnesota department of human rights is filing a commissioner's charge of discrimination to launch a civil rights investigation into the minneapolis police department the investigation will review in p.d.f. policies procedures and practices over the last 10 years to determine if the department is utilized to simic discriminatory practices towards people of color don't we know that many happen as this is one of the cities under curfew across the country you've been out and about talking to people today how are they dealing with this one of them telling you now. that's right a little bit earlier we were in st paul the capital of minnesota about 15 minutes away the other city of the twin cities and at 1.2 people they say that they will stay out in the streets until they get justice and what justice means that varies from person to person for some it means having all 4 of those police officers

arrested and charged but for others it means more systematic change it means things like the governor is talking about changing the policies of the minneapolis police department and other police department because the state police and the national guard are here being very aggressive of firing tear gas and rubber bullets at people and what they want is to stop the killing of on. armed black men and women are washing america and that's something it's going to take some time so really when these demonstrations end there and really don't know at this point but for now they're going on one day after another john hendren live for us there in minneapolis john thank you for that well there were some extraordinary scenes in washington d.c. on monday and our correspondent shihab rattansi is there now last night you were caught up in the drama of being tear gas and had stun grenades flash bangs thrown at you as the police are making way for president trump tell us where you are now and what's happening just behind you there. well we sort of saw the white house not

charge the focal point of yesterday and the white house is without a the rights we've had so it's an interesting moment actually in the last 20 minutes there were thousands and thousands of protesters in but i was dissipated now some have gone home because of the curfew but what is definitely happening is they've split up into groups moving in different directions and are going to be gathering at other places like let's talk to some activists they know exactly what's going on. and. so i mean what we're doing is actually happening right now right now we're splitting into groups there are 3 groups we came from constitution to here and we're going to go from here some of the folks on twitter freemason and some of us are going to the lincoln memorial to the masonic temple a few blocks up that way it looks around the lincoln memorial is down that way so what's the strategy there on the strategy is just to split up make us know get us out there to the media to make sure everybody knows what we're doing and why we're

doing it and on top of that is also some make sure that we're in smaller groups because it seems like we are and larger groups is when they attack us so we split up into smaller groups where hope and they just let us peaceful but there is another when they kettle you in and then they can arrest you that is that was that there is that danger as well that exactly what you concerned about the curfew thing i've got kids at this point i'm out here for my kids or what they say at the end or every day to walk out of the house that curfew is the last them hours are now what about when you see the reports of all the all the personal care is we have these reports that active military stationed on our way from d.c. ready to ready to cope with any moment does not frighten. us but we're being peaceful they should be peaceful they should work with us if we're not fighting against them they have no reason to try to arrest is to try to provoke being violent their job is to protect us we we have to say they're here for we are a god has got us here today but if history shows us that that doesn't seem to be the case shouldn't we be

a bit concerned. on fire but at the same time that doesn't mean that we don't have a voice we don't have a right to be out here we don't have something we're fighting for the constitution the amendment in protects us to be able to come out here and do exactly what we're doing so he and being able to peaceful protest if that's what we're doing there should be no issue what went through your head when it's all donald trump come to the church behind us on the tear gas in the pursuit of. i just thought he could have done that i did a different time he knew what he was doing when he was doing it you know if there's all these people out here protesting and you want to come out it looks like you're trying to get people to be harmed you know you know people you know your. security is not going to let people get this close to you and that's why people were being pepper sprayed that's why people were being flashed bombed and that's why people are hurt now because he wanted to pick a bad time to come out here i just felt like that was his chance to come out and say something to us to let us know he cared he was on our side anything and instead of that he tells it to harm us. or you think this is leading you that you're being

heard. i don't have a choice not to let you know yet why it's not like we're going to stop because if we don't get justice in this is that ok 1st week then there's going to be a 2nd week this is not going to stop until we get justice so it's not the 1st 3 days that we're doing this is going to go on till we get justice for concrete actions would make you think that maybe they're beginning to listen we raise i would argue we very fired our president saying something anything other than there is bad people on both sides and we are all dying about nasa having a rocket going up to space and we're not worried about nasa we're worried about our people you put your right hand on the bible to protect us and you're just you're hiding these people voted for you and your people voted for you in confidence that you had their best interest in mind best interest means that when somebody is killed and they're not supposed to be killed you do what's right that's our best interest is for you to protect us and do what's right and that's what we gave you the job to do. thank you so much mary. so things are calming down here that we're not going to repeat apparently it would seem that you know another of what happened

last night protesters are moving in different directions we're going to see whether we can maybe follow some of them and see where they end up and what happens next but no doubt we'll come back with a bit later for the time being stay safe out there. now in new york thousands are rallying near the police department headquarters adding to demands for an end to police brutality the city's mayor has extended the nighttime curfew until sunday. but state governor andrew cuomo has criticized new york city's response to the protests and said police haven't done enough to stop looting and vandalism and he's often send in the national guard to help restore order. the n.y.p.d. and the mayor did not do their job last night i believe the. second you have 38000 and more a.p. the. people it is the largest police department in the united states of america you 38000 people and

protect property use the police protect property and people look at the video it was a disgrace when all the city's mayor bill de blasio says deploying the national guard would only high tensions we do not need nor do we think it's wise for the national guard to be in new york city nor any armed forces i'm going to tell you why this is really important we have this hour right now if someone needs a history lesson. when outside armed forces go into communities no good comes of it well gabriel is on there joins us live now from new york gabe so there seems to be this tension between the state governor andrew cuomo and new york city mayor bill de blasio what happened last night and trump has been calling for the national guard to be deployed in new york how is this all playing out gaev. yeah you

basically have a power struggle be true between the mayor of new york city the biggest city in america of course 9000000 people and the powerful governor here the governor was not happy with the scenes that he saw of looting of stores here in new york city on monday evening but so far he has not called for the national guard but he also said in his words that as you heard there the new york police did not do new york city police did not do their jobs we were out on the streets last night we're out here now and the curfew is officially in place here in new york city right now it started at 8 pm local time so it's been in effect for about 15 minutes or so there are several groups of thousands of protesters currently in new york city right now they were just here about 20 minutes ago and they have just left there was thousands of protesters here for the trump tower we're at now there were dozens of

police officers it was a somewhat tense standoff here and then the protesters moved away and went somewhere else we're going to go try to see if we can catch up to them in a minute here but this just gives you an idea if you pivot around here you can see how pretty empty this is i'm on 5th avenue and 57th street right now one of the biggest busiest intersections in new york city and you can see how surreal it is as this city is under curfew and some of the buildings or i should say stores have been boarded up on the right on the left another one boarded up there you can see down 57th street looking west new york city pretty surreal scenes pretty much on curfew the big question now for this evening is with these protesters peaceful as of now on the streets after curfew what's going to happen that is going to be the big question stephen. the curfew is in 11 pm and oh yeah

yeah day buses and i say i mean one of the talking to you earlier you were just reminding us that of course despite all this new york is still the epicenter of a coded 19 pandemic i mean how much are these ongoing protests then likely to undermine the efforts to contain the virus in the city. they said no that's why i'm wearing a mask that's why most people in new york city are wearing a mask that's still the it's still the epicenter of covert 1000 pandemic in the united states very very complicated i've talked to a lot of protesters they say yes we're in the middle of a pandemic but we're also and their words in the middle of a justice fight as well and we need to get out on the streets. but listen this is there's no easy answer to this there's still a pandemic there's still no vaccine there are still people dying in new york every day from coburn 1000 infection rate is still up and this city has had more more positive cases and more deaths than any other city in america by 4 quadruple any

other city so you're seeing 2 real crisis this play out at one time unprecedented the crisis of the killing of floyd george that sparked this nationwide movement that is here in new york just like it is in dozens if not hundreds of other cities around america but you also have here in new york the epicenter of coronavirus no one knows how quite this is going to play out but the bottom line is corona virus has not deterred thousands of people on the streets to protest all right there on the streets of new york for us gabe we'll come back to a little bit later let's head over now from the east coast to the west coast where a curfew will come into effect shortly in los angeles which has seen some unrest and looting of the possible days rob runnels is live for us there now rob so just talk us through where you are and what's been happening on the streets. we're right in the heart of hollywood the corner of hollywood and vine. and the

earth you hear is due to go into effect in about 45 minutes so we've seen much fewer numbers but smaller numbers of people in the streets marching earlier this afternoon you're very many thousands of people. marching peacefully through this area and there are other marches and protests all around the los angeles area you can see that there are police officers there behind us so they will be more active after curfew starts i believe there were 585 people arrested in los angeles last night most of them for her a few violations and there were throughout the day here as i mentioned there been many peaceful protests protests which are notable in that so in so

far as they are made up of a vast diversity of people of all races all colors all ethnicities all holding for justice for george floyd for an end to oppressive policing for an end to systemic racism and i want to talk down introduce you to one of those people who's been protesting here today elise smith elise thank you very much for speaking with us i see you have your black lives matter handmade poster here and you also have an idea that is shared by a lot of people about how to deal with. police and how they are funded in equipped is that right yes that is i believe that we need to defund the police and that we need to put that funding into black communities our black communities are extremely under underprivileged our children our black children our black single mothers they're struggling they need the money they need that

$3000000000.00 to make homes to make schools we have we are again extremely extremely underprivileged in some of our our south l.a. communities and i'm from l.a. born and raised in l.a. so i am speaking from experience and i actually believe that that money needs to go and i'm in and better place and that i show us. that will show us that the police really do care about black lives but it's not just a matter of redistributing the funds that are available right it's a way of. sending a message or changing. the behavior of the police that the funds do need to be redistributed actually because that i mean for the police themselves well yes of course but at the same token i do want to say that that is them that's the main base is that my argument is that they do need to redirect that funding i truly believe that they should be funded if you want to be completely honest because they're killing us why are we giving them money why are they even on the streets they're not protecting us as our bill how do you feel about the way things have

developed over the past several days there seems to be 2 threads there's a peaceful protest. that is very very widely attended by thousands of people and then there is a smaller group of people that do bad things what do you think you know if you want my true honest answer i believe that people that are loading people that are setting fires i believe that they have a right to do whatever it is that they need to do to make a statement into make these people pay attention i feel is our if we're not doing any of that and they don't care about what we have to say. because i don't need to be doing all that but i support my people who are looting and who are doing whatever they need to do to make to give attention to this problem because if they're not then they won't even care about what we have to say lisa thanks very much for speaking with us we appreciate your time all right thank you. stay safe.

all right another voice from the. thousands of one of thousands of people who have been protesting here in los angeles. smith says for a lot of people i've seen many of those signs saying defund the police so that seems to be something that is emerging as a movement alongside the other demands that are coming out of this period of of he on rest and protest in the united states daryn all right rob thank you so much indeed robin as a live press in los angeles. now 4 police officers have been shot during protests in the state of missouri they were trying to control the crowds in the city of st louis some demonstrators have been smashing windows looting and setting businesses on fire the officers are expected to make a full recovery some coward fired shots at officers and now we have 4 in the hospital but thankfully and thank god there's a lot there's a lot but i you know. what can we make some

sense out of this can we make some sense out of this that's all i'm trying to say 1st of all as death is tragic but can we make some some some out of a lot of something that these kids come down here i just thought it destroyed like like like like crazy job but now like like like that like they're influenced by the job and have family giallo or flourishing pistols well reverend trice a black man is with the united cry church of christ in progress on missouri she says violence there is due to one simple factor. i think people reached a boiling point and that's what we're seeing now i want to express condolences to those the families of those operations in the uk this fish it is never going to take in my you know i certainly felt the deep tension employee of the police chief as he cried but then i only wish that those tears would come every time

a black light this last in st louis i wish that those tears would come from all of the people who stand in judgment in this moment each and every time a young black person is killed on the streets. we need those tears we need that simply be we need to actually move was to a different place and we needed to be coming from everyone all the time no matter whose might is involved. every evil act exacted against black and brown people in this country since the founding of black people being here since 69 every evil act exacted against us has been. do we go white man propped up by bible i don't see that any differently than we're donald trump d.d.'s today he propped up his little bible that's not

new in this country it's not our 1st time seeing it and it won't be our last. when our former us president george w. bush has commented on the protest saying it remains a shocking thing that many african-americans especially young men are harassed and threatened in their own country the only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of america or how it becomes a better place for the european union has also criticised the use of excessive force by police in the us foreign affairs minister us at barrell says the e.u. was shocked and appalled by the death of george floyd we have to be sure everywhere especially in the society to reach out beijing the rule of law could look at it representation and respect for freedoms and liberties and dad. people who are in charge of. taking care of the older are

not using their capacities on the way that has been used on dish very very unhappy . deaths. of just slight changes in that usually by what and this has to be. should be denounced to be combat interstage and everywhere. now the protests against police brutality are also drawing more international condemnation the un's human rights chief michelle bachelet has weighed in she says the protests triggered by the killing of george floyd are highlighting not only police violence against people of color but also inequalities in health education employment and endemic racial discrimination and there been protests against police brutality in south america the middle east and europe to gas has been fired at hundreds of demonstrators in paris the protest began peacefully outside

a courthouse the police moved in to clear large crowds in other parts of the french capital just as want to draw attention to the taste of adama troll he was a 24 year old black man who died in police custody back in 2016. palestinians have also joining the movement in the occupied west bank protesters gathered outside the church of nativity lighting candles for george floyd and. he was a palestinian man killed by israeli police in jerusalem's old city on saturday. today we came to show our alliance with the oppressed in the world against injustice against the u.s. administration that oppresses black people and against the israeli occupation that oppression is the palestinian people. office for black lives matter protest they want to end racial discrimination in their own country. and the calls for justice for george floyd were also heard in argentina people marched through the center of the capitol when as i rose to show

their solidarity with the protests in the united states it was also outrage in the netherlands where a socially distance protest was held against the killing of george floyd they gathered in the hague taking a knee as they called for an end to racial discrimination. learned. was. was a good thing. now the protest movements in the united states also saw a boost of solidarity online a montage of black images were seen on social media sites under the hashtag blackout tuesday the concepts spread from the music industry with some major

companies pledging to suspend businesses. now and here are some demonstrations are also being held in brazil where around half the population is black or mixed race the protesters blame the president of a growing discrimination too is about reports. dozens of protesters chanted stop killing us on the streets of rio. even the spread of coalwood $1000.00 in the country did not prevent them from demanding an end to police brutality in south america's largest nation. we are here today because we want to leave we are here today because we are tired of this genocidal state we're here to say no more here hear. the names of those killed in police operations were read i would loud most of them have one thing in common they are black and poor. police said the protesters were throwing stones so they confronted them with tear gas and non-lethal force. 2 weeks ago a 14 year old teenager was killed by police during

a radio. the autopsy report shows that the boy was shot in the back by a rifle while playing with his cousins in his room was in 2019 over 800 people were killed in police related incidents a surge of hundreds in a state with a long history of police brutality and the political leadership including president jalal son out of himself who vowed to dig graves to stop crime this year already over $600.00 people have been killed the increase in recent had is it because there is an increase in crime or because now there isn't this force from the president here was the narrow and way. we had a problem controlling the police profitable sonora but at least there was a discourse at least they were trying to address a problem before the military police try to reduce the amount of people killed but

when he came to power along with the current governor of rio de janeiro that changed they say there is no problem and they dare tell the police to kill more as if that's going to solve rio's crime problem human rights groups also say that the pace of killings is astounding. if the us police were killing people at the same rate as those killed in rio you would have in the us at least $36000.00 deaths per year for it people have not only been protesting in the religion aid off but in other cities as well i've basically racism is already part of brazil's reality and president jade also natto is making the situation even worse was there is a war. lots of for me down in jordan for now done because the news continues here on al-jazeera of the inside story especially.

adding fuel to fire defiance and alfredo donald trump threatens protesters across the u.s. saying he could deploy be on the deal but is that the answer to growing public anger and will this speech give it more momentum this is inside story. hello welcome to the program i'm convinced many a calling for a healing speech from president donald trump tackling racial inequality and police reform head all.
