death of george floyd in minnesota where floyd died in police custody just over a week ago the mother of his daughter has held an emotional news conference boxee washington says he was a good man and father john hendren reports from minneapolis. a week after george floyd's death little spark that left american cities in flames rocsi washington is demanding justice. on the business at apple for. he with. well we're agile way he will never walk down. echoing the crowd of protesters at the sight of george floyd's death floyd's family wants all 4 officers involved in his detention to be charged with a crime and careful not to take. any of your life. because
1:03 pm
they want justice. just his for him because he was the norm in about it sure. and this is the group. at the state capitol in st paul were thousands of protesters meant to keep the pressure on their government. minnesota's governor says he wants justice and he's launched a discrimination probe into the minneapolis police department to get 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 semi practices towards people of color the governor says he wants the protestors to know their heard what we keep hearing from protesters in the street they don't trust the police they want the police to stop discriminating against african-americans and even black professionals tell us what happened to
1:04 pm
george floyd here. i need to change the system in the more recent say they experienced discrimination on a daily basis but they worry most about their children encountering police i worry a lot. of their young adult. they're trying to stay in positive and be productive in their every day my. law abiding citizen. but unfortunately we. can't change your complection or you're in the city. you don't always get an opportunity it's a theme heard over and over at this site known as the george floyd memorial they come not just for george floor but for those who might come next. john hendren minneapolis. well in the u.s. capitol protests have been much calmer shihab rattansi has more from washington
1:05 pm
d.c. . the big difference for tuesday's protest outside the white house was the construction of this 8 foot fence and it really has had a calming influence it has to be said on the nature of the protests because it's almost as if they are to combat troops effectively who are lined up against the protesters being kept at a safe distance from us there's a lot of the provocations that we were saying on previous days where every now and then they would lash out without warning with pepper spray flash bang grenades and so on and today always so every now that arrives at the extra half an hour before the curfew they did come forward and pepper spray through the fence rob unless they do come forward every now and then but i tend to stay stay where they are they do nothing and retreat once more and that's led to the ability of the protesters to peacefully protest without provocation the provocation to be seen over previous evenings it there is that sense of perhaps and i quote librium has been found and now i have a how the photo opportunity of the day before
1:06 pm
a certain number of protesters will be allowed to peacefully protest have a vigil calling for justice following the death of george floyd there's one other interesting thing here that this is the toilet on lafayette square that was graffitied we had an interview for mark asked by the defense secretary he was also why did you go to st john's church which is just opposite us like and we take a look at that so why did you go to john says why did you accompany donald trump and he said oh i didn't know we were going to i just said i was going to inspect the toilet in lafayette square. it's interesting to see the defense secretary distance himself the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who is in his combat fatigues is also just absolved from the want to syndrome square which is so controversial in the outside world at least we understand in the white house i think it was a huge public relations coup a mob the success in addition this time last night here in d.c. we were seeing military helicopters blackhawk helicopters buzz protesters flying just above the rooftops trying to scare away protesters
1:07 pm
a classic counterinsurgency tactic now being told the d.c. national guard the commanding officers called for inquiries are distancing also on some of the tactics being used on my end monday night things are much calmer tuesday night well one of the more striking protest images from the past few hours was the sight of thousands of people marching on to a busy road in the city of portland in oregon they lay face down on bun side bridge with their hands behind their backs for 9 minutes in remembrance of george floyd in new york but he began making arrests soon after its cofield came into effect thousands of people poured onto the city's streets in the early evening mayor bill de blasio has refused to bring in the national guard saying it will only worsen the tension. and in the sun julie's there's been a standoff between police and protesters. eat. it on the surface out on the ground and refused to move despite violating the
1:08 pm
city's curfew many have now been arrested as it is rob reynolds is in los angeles with an overnight curfew is now in place. the curfew here in los angeles has been in effect for several hours and at this location there are a number perhaps 100 or more protesters who have now been detained by los angeles police if i'll step out of the way and you can see that people are waiting in line some are seated each one is sort of being guarded by a police officer they are. waiting to be transported to jail where they will be charged with a misdemeanor offense breaking curfew it's not a serious offense but it is something that is useful from the perspective of the police in order to clear people off the streets a few moments ago people here were chanting they were chanting black lives matter
1:09 pm
here they were chanting say its name george floyd they were chanting no justice no peace and they were speaking obviously making a political statement so you have here the determination of the police department on the one hand to maintain order clear the streets enforce the curfew and on the other hand the equally strong determination of these protesters to make their statement make their political statement by deliberately breaking the law in an act of civil disobedience but calls for justice for george floyd were also heard in argentina people marched to the center of its capital want to say it is to show their solidarity with protests in the united states. the racism demonstrations were also held in brazil where around half the population is black or mixed race the protesters blame president desirable so noddle for the growing discrimination the
1:10 pm
risible reports. dozens of protesters chanted stop killing us on the streets of rio de janeiro even the spread of coal with $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. the names of those killed in police operations were read out 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 raid in a father the autopsy report shows that the boy was shot in the back by a rifle while playing with his cousins in his room. in 2019
1:11 pm
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 himself who vowed to dig graves to stop crime this year already over 600 people have been killed and increased talent because there is an increase in crime or because now there isn't this president harry was the narrow and when. we had a problem controlling the police profitable sonora police there was a discourse police that were trying to address a problem before the military police trying 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
1:12 pm
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. people have not only been protesting in nato but in other cities as well. they see racism is already part of brazil's reality and president jane also natto is making the situation even worse i. have more. china is warning the u.k. that interfering in hong kong's affairs could backfire that's after the british prime minister said the u.k. could offer millions of people in hong kong a route to citizenship if china imposes a controversial national security law beijing argues that foreign influence is a threat to hong kong stability and prosperity all those sentiments have been echoed by hong kong chief executive kerry lam who's in beijing to meet chinese
1:13 pm
officials well i can only say that the international community and some of the foreign governments have been adopting data and double standards in dealing with this matter and commenting on this matter it is within the legitimate jurisdiction of any country to enacting laws to protect and safeguard national security. usa is no exception u.k. is no exception so why should they object to recess for even condemn and take sanctions against hong kong and the people's republic of china. we're going to get more reaction out of china shortly with katrina you in beijing 1st let's go to paul brennan in london paul let's talk about this offer that's being made by the conservative party the party itself is generally opposed to large scale immigration why would boris johnson's government make an offer like this. well is a bold term pick what kind of immigration the conservative party is against it's
1:14 pm
clearly against unregulated irregular immigration but this is a very different case indeed what we're talking about here is holders of 'd british national overseas passports this is a class of citizenship which was granted from $987.00 after the hong kong act the year before and it's specifically effectively for the for those hong kong nationals who have this close tie to the u.k. these aren't syrian refugees or or refugees trying to come across the english channel in boats the other thing is that the political and moral aspect has been emphasized by the british government in the past week because of the longstanding ties that britain has and responsibilities britain feels towards the citizens of hong kong and we heard the foreign secular dominic rob both last week and yesterday in the house of commons talking about the obligation that britain feels towards
1:15 pm
those systems and now boris johnson the prime minister also emphasizing on the lining the obligations and i'll give you some of the quotes from what he said in an article which was published today weapons day and said if the thing goes if this extension of visas goes ahead to british national have a season lauzon to come here it would amount to one of the biggest changes in the visa system in history but the motive was important he said if china proceeds with this national security law that they've proposed britain could not in good conscience shrug our shoulders and walk away instead we will honor our obligations i mean briefly on pick what it means at the moment british national overseas passport holders can come to the u.k. without a visa for up to 6 months if china proceeds with this national security law britain would change its law and allow be a no passport holders to come here for 12 months on an extendable basis with the right to work. and with a pathway to potential citizenship it's not just for the 350000 current b.n.
1:16 pm
oha passport holders but boris johnson is saying it could also apply to around 2 and a half 1000000 people who are eligible to apply for b.n. out passport holders and you can see the magnitude of what the british government isn't telling here paul thanks very much indeed let's go to katrina you who's joining us now from beijing let's talk about this offer from the u.k. how is china likely to react to this. well china's harness respects person jollity gen face to the media just a few hours ago and he expressed anger at dominic rob statements and said that the china would be making a stern representation to the u.k. he also went on to reflect on the u.k.'s the stork relationship with hong kong with those ties that were just mentioned and seemed to take aim at the u.k.'s apparent moral highground he said that he said that when the u.k. had a relationship with hong kong that relationship was a colonial and on equal and he said that the u.k. has accused china of being autocratic in its rule of hong kong but indeed also
1:17 pm
cross it was its own rule when the u.k. we did have power over the whole over hong kong he said that now that whole call has been given back to china the u.k. should respect china's jurisdiction as has no longer any jurisdiction over hong kong it should stop meddling in china's internal affairs he then went on to use some quite strong language he said that the u.k. should retreat from the cliff and abandon this cold war mentality you know we've heard this language before when china has responded to statements from the u.s. but seemingly it seems that the u.k. now is also in the bad books of china's foreign ministry he also went on to blame the blame foreign forces as he called for threatening kong hong stability and prosperity and now this is a line that we've heard from from the chinese government when it's come to any pro-democracy movement in hong kong and indeed some of these protests that have been continuing in hong kong since june last year beijing has insisted that this is
1:18 pm
not the voice of the majority of people living in hong kong but indeed the influence of forces in the u.k. and in the u.s. that you mentioned dominic rather he's of course the u.k. foreign secretary who's also been talking about this offer of citizenship as well as boris johnson the prime minister let's talk about the fact that china is also at the same time embroiled in some sort of control over say over the w.h.o. tell us more about that. that's right the foreign ministry spokesman also answered questions about a report that was released on tuesday by the associated press associated press now it's quite a hefty investigation but it makes some clear points firstly most concerning lee that china with held information about the deed of covert 1000 for more than a week he also said that he will health officials were tapped in the dog during the beginning of this al frequent 1st image in december and in general at the beginning of this year and that because of this world health organization officials had to
1:19 pm
resort to praising china or lauding beijing's response to the outbreak as a sort of strategy in order to gain more information from the aging now the associated press says that this investigation was based on a number of interviews that they conducted as well as internal documents now in response to that jolly gen the foreign ministry spokesperson says that he doesn't know whether where these internal documents came from but these statements are untrue he also went on to give a bit of his own timeline as to what happened in january and he says that the chinese government gave the genome of coded 900 to the world health organization as soon as it was accurately confirmed so he said that there was no intention to withhold any of this information and then he said that china has been open responsible and transparent has also always cooperated with the world health organization and this is the line that beijing has maintained since the beginning of the outbreak has truly you bring is that update from beijing between the thanks
1:20 pm
very much indeed and the group of pro-democracy activists are calling for a global alliance against the new security law which china wants to bring in to hong kong activists joshua long says 7 european nations and the e.u. have already spoken out against the bill but more support is needed. we still aware of the countries they will have the money is still the best on the national security legislation so we encourage us to join this global issue and to push the systemic. at home it's already in the press and it's running i'll just close it . but you are ahead on the news hour including taking it to the streets we look at one man's mission to increase testing in the u.s. communities hit hardest by coronavirus. lessons from the pandemic the south korean capital shares its experiences with 40 cities around the world. and in sports

1:22 pm
of the culture where we found out he was shot in the attack when someone saw the video on social media and called us here lift the house when he heard about the attack then he went to the hospital to look for him we didn't know he was did until we started searching in the hospital then we had to begin the long process of filing cases of the police station to receive permits to bury the body. of the june 3rd attack brought an end to the 10 best started in early april it was what prompted the military to overthrow the country's longtime president obama after months of protests after he was ousted the 13th continued as protesters demanded the military hand over power to civilian rule witnesses say the attack which was led by the paramilitary raw. but support forces on the unarmed protesters was a total onslaught at least $120.00 protestors were killed on the day of the attack on the sit in but they were not the only across that is recorded rights groups reported women and men were raped and sodomized and witnesses reported bodies being thrown into the nile river and many who were present on the day of the attack
1:23 pm
remain missing but a year after the attack some have criticized the committee and say the investigations are slow and justice is being delayed and. when we took to the streets in december 28th scene we demanded freedom peace and justice saddam can't go forward without peace and freedom but more importantly it can't go forward without justice back in the room that was once have basses his sister says the government needs to remember the price paid by many to bring it to power i went ahead and i'm going to and the government came to power through blood people sacrificed their lives and now there's no justice that has been delivered the people on the streets haven't forgotten what it took and more move on without that justice and accountability accountability that one year on since the attack remains elusive for families who have lost their loved ones he will morgan al-jazeera heartsome john henry is east africa director at human rights watch is joining us live on skype from nairobi thank you very much indeed for being with us given the
1:24 pm
fact that sudan is still in a fairly fragile state both from a security point of view and an economic point of view is it reasonable to assume that this committee would have been able to bring forward some sort of report within this time. yes well of course initially we and other organizations had hoped for an international investigation committee or a body of some kind but as it happened when the new government was formed to they did agree to domestic investigation committee which as you've just heard has been heavily criticized for several reasons we are still hopeful that this report will be presented we're told that it will be and we're urge we're urging them to ensure that it's actually public and that there is a transparent next steps we think the attorney general and other justice sector actors could indeed move forward on cases but we are we are
1:25 pm
calling on the authorities to look at the highest levels of responsibility for this now of course there are political obstacles in this quest for justice considering crew who is responsible in our estimation the rapid support forces were clearly involved if not leaders of the crackdown and the head of the rapid support force is of course the deputy chair of the current sovereign council ruling the country if the report isn't transparent and it doesn't deliver the results those. like yourselves and the people within the sudan itself would like to see a would hope to see what do you think the reaction is going to be amongst people in sudan. well i think we're hearing it today people who are have lost their loved ones people who themselves were attacked victims of that crackdown have been consistently demanding justice that was one of the pillars of the revolution to
1:26 pm
begin with and i don't think they're going to drop that car so i think i think we're going to we're going to hear from people and this is in a way just this is one of the litmus tests for the success of this transition and the authorities need to take it seriously despite the obstacles that exist justice needs to be seen to be done as well as actually be done and so so we hope that these these steps will be made public and clear and that will see some movement. certainly that's what we're calling for and other organizations and we're not for kobe had to you would probably see even more people calling for it on the streets of car too interested to get your thoughts on this 100 we appreciate it thank you very much thank you well officials in india have urged people to stay home because of us tropical cyclone that's hit 2 states on the west coast least 100000 residents

kennedy is once again under lockdown. for the next 2 weeks no one will be allowed out except to seek food. but after more than 2 months in quarantine many say there i'm willing to comply. there are countries that have had more than we have but. the mirror is acting like a dictator. yet with infections on the rise or taking no chances police and soldiers have been deployed at the entrance of the area diverting traffic and demanding a new online registration for vehicles in need to enter for essential services. recently reopened construction sites that briefly offered a spite to many day laborers have been closed again i only a portion of. the main produce market up the city is operating entrance is allowed but only under strict regime measures health workers have increased testing inside

. the surrounding area is teeming with informal vendors oh my god they want us to stay home but if we don't go out to work who buys the food. the 1st cases of the coronavirus were detected in the rich upper class neighborhoods in the north of the city but the virus has since bread widely and at times killed mostly in pour working class neighborhoods where people have had a harder time respecting their restrictions staying at home. this is an emergency measure but the problem is that people can't enjoy another quarantine they don't have food so even if the measures are justified it's difficult to pretend that people can remain locked down. with the peak of infection still weeks away it's an almost impossible balancing act in

a country that has so far managed to control the rate of the disease but with a large population with few options but to take their chances on the streets to survive listen to. recover 19 is disproportionately killing african americans to make matters worse testing for the virus scarce in poor largely minority neighborhoods but one doctor in new jersey in the us is addressing that issue went to meet him. trying to stop the spread of corona virus not from a hospital but from the back of a van it's the idea dr alexander salerno who is offering mobile testing 1000 infections as well as antibodies taking the medication salerno when a family health clinic for 30 years was dismayed by the inaction of authorities and the near non-existent testing in poor communities hit hardest by the virus he took
1:38 pm
matters into his own hands and spent more than $40000.00 to set up a pop up clinic his team tests more than $100.00 people a day in economically depressed neighborhoods of new jersey what initially gave me the idea it was really ice cream trucks and food bending trucks because you know in urban areas. are very much part of summer time and so we came up with the idea of let's do a mobile cobra testing van. not everyone could get to a doctor's office and they really shouldn't be going to emergency rooms in hospitals for testing because really you know created a major backlog so it's kind of like bring the testing to the people this is a high rise apartment of senior housing everybody that lives here is elderly and particularly vulnerable to cope at 19 many don't have the ability to go very far to get tested and now they don't have to they just walk out their front door to doctor
