face ready. this is al jazeera. live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes and upgraded charges for the police officer at the center of georgia for its death and 3 other officers are also charged with aiding and abetting. his life. and we will seek justice for him.

protests calling for justice is still going strong president trump backs down on his threats of deploying the military against them. and paul racing gothenburg sweden which has become the 1st country in the world to use drones to save the lives of victims of cardiac arrest. so then after more than a week of protests calling for justice for a black man who died while being arrested all 4 officers have been charged george floyd's death triggered mass demonstrations across the united states and right around the world and they're showing no sign of letting up this was a scene in new york runabouts an hour ago for days protesters have been demanding an end to what they say is a systemic racism. in who held his knee against floyd's neck now faces an upgraded charge of 2nd degree murder 3 other officers have been accused of aiding and

abetting. george floyd mattered he was loved his family was important his life had value and we will seek justice for him and for you and we will find it the very fact that we have filed these charges means that we believe in them but what i do not believe is that one successful prosecution can rectify the hurt and loss that so many people feel. the solution to that pain will be slow and difficult work of constructing justice and fairness in our society george freud's family lawyer has acknowledged new challenges but says that justice will not be achieved until the offices of convicted well we've got correspondents across the united states monitoring the latest developments she have written z. is in washington d.c. gabriel is on those in new york i mean that's begin in minneapolis with john hendren where those new charges announced and john the cool the charges to be up to

an extended across all 4 police officers has now been said what have people been saying about that. well you can see the mood here is some of the weight has lifted one of the principal demands the 1st demand was it all of those 4 officers face charges in the fact that the murder charges been elevated for the 1st police officer derek chauvin from 3rd degree to 2nd degree that has met one of the demands and then the fact that the other 3 officers have been charged with aiding and abetting in murder that is jeff and only caused a lot of people to say that at least their preliminary short term demands have been met their long term demands are systematic change and that will take a lot of time as will this trial most likely to take months some of these police trials take years but take a look around you can see there are thousands of people here many of them out of

camera range there is a flower a memorial over there and people have been speaking about george floyd you can hear off camera where another speaker is talking to the group but it's right over here where that memorial under the cup food sign is where that has been roped off there that's where george floyd spent his last moments and it's there that these the family members and the lawyers and others have been speaking but instead of hearing it from me i want to. to christian rogers and her family she's been here protesting on behalf of george floyd and let's just get a word from her why are you here i'm here because i have 3 boys and i want them to see protests make a difference and also bring justice and we want to make sure the girl to be safe you know we've had charges against all 4 of those officers today one of them 2nd degree murder the other ones are aiding and abetting murder. does that satisfy some

of what you were looking for a little bit of justice to me and to our city. we wanted all 3 to be arrested in canada 4 for the charges they got. i would think the wanted to get 1st degree murder 2nd degree it is what it is just waiting for them to go on to. become great because they will make of that he's different to what they are charging the city so let's talk about the long term goal of people i've been looking for systematic change so that there's not this kind of racial discrimination against african-americans by the police department what is it you would want to see. the police departments all over in the united states is not only just here it is everywhere i'm originally from texas and i can say from texas all of the old needs to be changed. if it be good if we can make a difference in all of our states and cities and i imagine when these boys in your other son grow up you'd like a world in which they didn't have to worry about being treated differently right

that's coverage that's one reason why i moved up to minnesota is because if you look at a community you don't find is that other states you don't find is everybody come together so when i come here i want in a girl be safe when he leaves me far i want to get over to go out and do they all live i don't have to worry about them not coming back home or get a phone call and i say if something happened to my child all right well christian rogers thank you very much i'd shake your hand if i could and you boys same to you . thank you for hanging out with us that's really that this is a really important perspective because christian has your 2 sons here and it's really that a lot of the people here i've talked to are worried about young african-american men who are going to grow up and don't want to have the kind of confrontation with police that happened just a few feet away from me right here. on 100 in minneapolis let's move to washington d.c. she had her tansey is standing by and she had been

a year on the streets outside the white house is that the national guard is alongside you though. i couldn't quite get the concept of your question there but yes i mean if if there's any space to be given to the out to vist said least how some qualified relief at the indictment of the police officers that hasn't been given here the posture of the security forces around us is very different from how it was on tuesday when we had an evening that went without real incident and that was because the security forces were behind a chain link fence they went in every once in everyone's view they would hear they were menacing presence off what we saw happen on monday which is when they were in a similar position except much closer to the white house we saw what they were capable of suddenly without warning using tear gas rubber bullets flash bang grenades peaceful protest is it with barely any woman so this immediately makes everything fall even though this would have been perhaps a day she would least think well at least something is beginning to work within the

system we have to overcome still. even though we know. that even though. this is now become the focal point right it's the line of security offices where we get all their intentions our coffee has been declared for 11 o'clock that's about 4 hours from now we have no idea what's what they're planning so this is constantly in everyone's heads when otherwise they could have been perhaps concentrating on all this in. good news even though we know there are so many loopholes even though we know the so many loopholes that be that even when it seems like this clear video evidence about these your police officers will treat you. said she had been talking about the potential for sending in the military and but now it seems to me putting back on that. i'm not i don't i could barely hear you because of as a speech actually going on right yeah in fact you might be able to hear but i think you're asking about this debate about using the military on the streets of the of

the united states. but also keeps on suggesting he wants to invoke the insurrection act which would mean that he would take federal control not just of the national guard in the states but of active duty military officers and have the power that just send them into states over and above the wishes of governors states state politicians they can already apparently do that in d.c. we don't have a go at all state that's why we have federally controlled offices here in the forces not just the national go to 1st paramilitary groups and other federal agencies already on the streets and active duty troops just outside d.c. 600 also who have already been issued bad that's right down the power they can be deployed to d.c. with an hour's notice they can do that in d.c. he called do that in states. where the defense secretary had already been distancing himself from donald trump last night here by suggesting that he had no idea he was going to end up with that photo opportunity at the church behind me he said oh i thought i was going to see a damaged that enough i at school i said he didn't have any clue that what i was

going he continued that distancing process of the speech of the pentagon where he said he does not think the insurrection act is appropriate unless it's a last resort. i've always believed and continue to believe that the national guard is best suited for performing domestic support to civil authorities in these situations in support of local law enforcement. i say this not only as secretary defense but also as a former soldier and a former member of the national guard the option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations we are not in one of those situations now i do not support invoking the insurrection act. only so majorly we started hearing s. but have not yet been clear about what the white house this came as a surprise to the white house this just distancing process he wasn't he then went to the white house for

a meeting and soon after that we were told. well the d.o.d.'s now says about the defense announce that they were going to withdraw all the $680.00 of duty military was stationed around d.c. which is cool as a certain amount on station here they were going to go home and then following that meeting we were we were told that that order had been rescinded a 1600 active duty military who for assaults up it would appear. can use can utilize without it like an instruction that they are staying in d.c. that what it was revoked and so we are now back where we were at least in d.c. certainly we are at the whim of the top of the federal government as far as what the military response will be for the peaceful protests here at least all right she had believed that the man thanks very much indeed she had returned outside the white house in washington d.c. and you might have picked up a little bit of bad language said during that protest she had was broadcasting we do apologize for that but these are live events and sometimes these things happen all right for us president barack obama has addressed the crisis brought about by

the death of george floyd he says people of color who have witnessed too much violence have now call for progress on police reforms i want to speak directly to the young men and women of color in this country. where i'm just so eloquently described we have witnessed too much far and too much. and. too often some of the violence has come. from folks who were supposed to be serving and protecting you. i want you to know that you matter i want you to know that your lives matter that your dreams matter and. ok live to new york now and. standing by for us the brooklyn. talking about the need to translate into changing that system that really key into the demands that you hear you on the streets.

that's right it really does barack obama's words carry a lot of weight of course with a lot of people here in the united states is approval ratings are very very high almost double that of donald trump is one of the most popular politicians in america as an ex-president but there are also this is a movement that is being fueled by young people when i say young i mean anywhere from 18 to 25 years old some that were even of course younger than that when barack obama was president so listen while a lot of people here on the streets are listening to barack obama's words it doesn't necessarily mean that this is over or that it's going to call in the streets if you will people are upset they are still angry and now it's looking like this this is the protests on the streets are in no end in sight there was just a protest here behind me at this park in brooklyn several 1000 people over the last couple hours just left a few minutes ago actually and filed out here but you might see a few stragglers there behind me but that's because a curfew goes into effect here in new york city in about 45 minutes or so at 8 pm

local time it will be the 2nd night of the curfew starting at 8 pm the 1st night it started at 11 pm so well have to see but right now don't let these images behind me . confuse you there are protests going on in new york we're going to catch up with some of those here as we're done as we're done with you but this is still a city very much in the mix of protests anger and wanting justice informants who cools amongst the protests was these challenges up to now that has happened and extended across the. now that's happened what are the specific demands to these purchases won't. well there's a whole host of them this isn't one movement i mean this started with the death as we all know of george floyd and tragedy from that terrible video of course that we've all seen and but then it's taken on more than that i talked to said is this just about george floyd now and she says absolutely not this is about all police brutality and injustice but it's also about black lives matter it's also about it's

also about systemic racism in the u.s. it's about education it's about a whole host of things now and that is what is making this so powerful is that it was sparked by george floyd but it's now saying people are saying listen we've had other high profile cases of young black men being killed being captured on video and nothing has changed they said no is it time it will change and let's not they were also in the middle of the covert 1000 pandemic in the u.s. as many other countries are around the world and particularly here in new york it's still the path it's still the epicenter so i think a lot of people will come for a stray sions and built up energy and they're saying i've had enough of this and even though we're still in the pandemic or not and the mayor and governor say you're not supposed to be out on the streets close to each other social distancing people are saying it doesn't matter anymore this is more important than a coronavirus it's

a risk we will take because we have to get out on the streets and our forces be heard or gave thanks very much indeed that's a picture in brooklyn new york and let's just show you some pictures from los suns as you can see a very peaceful protests going on the people lined the streets of los suns and is in supports. floyd in support of the protests that are being made of course has been protests right across the united states from houston to washington d.c. . and the most until it's. let's speak. to joins us live from washington d.c. he's a professor at the university moved. a school of law in ohio mr hofmeister welcome to the program good to see there so thank you and now the challenges in compass all 4 offices it's a 1st step but now that needs to be process right how much chances that these cases might yet be d. rail and won't have that day in court well most cases

don't go to trial you don't actually litigated case most criminal case for that so there's a strong chance that you could get some type of plea bargain down to a lesser charge and generally that's what the prosecution does the issue for the highest is undoubtedly down to the lowest so that's always that's always a possibility ok and so what actually happens now is those kind of negotiations begin though what is the process what is the g. process that goes and happens from now on. yes so just so your viewers understand if they go to trial the trial is a long way away from now right so yes they can do simple in area negotiations but i will tell you many people who represent police officers are disinclined to do that because they know it's very difficult to get a criminal charge very difficult to actually convict up a police officer especially of 2nd degree murder so the next steps are going to be the actual process the reading of the charge devise the individual the rights and

then you can start the motion process where they're going to say they're going to challenge they're going to publish the suppress ability to close all these motions all these collimator in matters that you have to do was far before you get to trial so why is it so difficult to prosecute. many a time. out that way. that well i think in the united states many jurors are more inclined to give police officers the benefit of the doubt and like maybe they would give an average us citizen where they think that a police officer is putting himself or herself in harm's way so let's give this individual the benefit of the doubt which they don't necessarily do for all their other co-defendants and many times also to police officers don't have a record so you can't use someone's record against them if they were testifies but it is a it is a it is a high hurdle today they've only had they did try to prosecute in the state of minnesota 3 police officers for the crime of murder and they've only got one

conviction so far and now. the mood of the country do you sense that it's different. yes i definitely think it's something different here oh you know as you've known as you if you were marked in the earlier procedure and all are a part of this program this is not a new idea african-americans have been suspected to file a. police buy in this country for many decades. but for this time i think we have a culmination of events we have ongoing pandemic we have at least just 2 because 2 weeks ago we had an unarmed african american killed by to wipe it away anyways you had a woman in central park who calls police miss a regular idea problem of calling police on african-american dissipating in everyday activities and finally you have this what happened to quote poor mr floored floyd but here well like many other times you have almost the complete

picture on video and it's constantly being played on a social media loop so people can make their own judgment and they have a very hard time finding any sort of defense for these police officers. do you think this could be a turning point for america and we heard barack obama talking about the need to translate the anger on the streets into changing the system do you think that really could happen this time well you know we always hope but this happened this seems a little different especially when you look at the crowds out there these the crowds that i have seen they've been very diverse attracting people from all different kinds of walks of life you don't just say it is an african-american while it is a cult caging but you see quite mixed in my opinion and also if you look at the past history for example when they've been shootings in other major cities they have been. limited to just that city but here for whatever reason this mayence death has sparked a nerve in this country that's that's going to national and so you see these

protests throughout the country where in the past they've generally been regulated to the to the city where it happened but here it's gone nationwide are. great to hear your perspective we do appreciate your time thanks a lot thank you nick. ok let's let's move on to derrick johnson who is the president of the national association for the advancement of colored people the end double a c.p. he joins us live from jackson in mississippi welcome mr johnson so 1st up. your reaction to the news that the charges against jovan have been up to 2nd degree murder and 3 others with aiding and abetting do these charges now go far enough do you think to appease the protesters. well i think it is we now start the process should've started to get. we had a dish good tourney in back county who held the whole system hostage you know the city house to help the nation makes an awful so i'm glad now that the state

attorney general has been given the ability to step in and we will see the process in iraq. charge him being cream more information describing what the very minimum we're starting to process to administer justice for the for example at the nest the most important to ensure people focus on of course is you'll send since we reached this point that the protests will continue they'll continue to gather momentum or that perhaps now they'll dissipate as people wait for jew process to take place. but i think this step. creates the juncture in a row for people to begin to slowly retreat from protest as a release of this case now there may be other protests they can praise around larger issues that is not national in scope. so we have a lot of restlessness across the country you have

a lot of people who are experiencing economic insecurity the health and gambling. has created. a space where people have a lot of pent up energy and so the question is how can we funnel that in energy to know that i put in place the people who understand that maybe the issues that's constructed to reduce that day is based on public policy planks state and federal and the way to address that is address those who are sitting in elected office and many of those individuals are on the bow. and in residence as you talk about being demonstrated on the streets right now we've seen pictures in washington d.c. just looking there at pictures a new york. and certainly. where we know that's washington d. back in washington d.c. and you can see the on the rights of the national guard there too so a lot of pressure building up here a question that i asked my previous guest on hoffmeister more sense do you have him

that this really is a turning point now. oh this is a cancer to me it's the end it's paired with bridge and 1964 where. john lewis quotes to really struggle well we have a decision to make as a society are going to go across the bridge to change the point the problems the. impact in our communities for decades or we're going to retreat and go back. up by i don't know i hope that we continue to push forward not only to be successful in november but walk into office with a policy agenda that members of congress and the world can pass and will pass because the demand is there and it is time it's a law and we can start anew i do know if we don't change the outcome in november we're going to continue to spiral we're going to make as a divided nation we can not stop by this another 4 years right

and assuming there was a change a presidency. is not just about the justice system of course is it it's not just this very important point about this 2 justice systems in america one of the plus one for everybody else but it's it's deeper than that it's way more ingrained i just wonder where you even start to address that issue. what if you start all the places you could you can find him a penny up about what been identified as a structural racist policies that policies that are in place such as the plot was around policing was an issue of qualified immunity given police officers a free hand to wreak havoc on certain communities without any accountability you have. structural racism in the delivery of education you have to stand and deep. racism and i'm banking industry and those who are able to. qualify for home

ownership and built wealth wealth through that way there are many areas that are already identified. the struggle for freedom and equality is a positive but it's not a just a one shot and the momentum that we have picked up over the last few years we have we've had a setback over the last floor but i am positive that once we are successful no member we will gain steam all over again look at the crowd also not just after we can't see you know crowd that's stuck right in respect of creature up america everyone is getting really concerned with the direction of this nation and we cannot afford a divided nation into a crowd that reflects the picture of america all right there johnson from the end appreciate that thanks a lot. thank you very much. well thousands of people have gathered in london in solidarity with protesters in the united states unorganized who say they're all so

much against systemic racism in britain mass gatherings are still banned under the u.k.'s coronavirus restrictions but the prime minister boris johnson said he understood the anger to join floyd's death and supported their right to protest and said bank was at the rally in london and says protesters are also drawing attention to racism in the u.k. . several 1000 people have turned up to show their support and solidarity for what's taking place in the united states but people just about was talking in the united states about it's about the racial inequalities here in the united kingdom that people are more likely to be stopped and searched there's been a number of deaths in police custody of people also the death of mark duggan who was shot and killed by police in 2011 and the 2 riots have been same. thing just no justice no peace the turned up at downing street which is the residence of the prime minister parties johnson said that he understood the anger and grief but not only that the world and you know unprecedented move police chiefs said that they

are told that the death of george floyd and of also the justice in the united states also acknowledged that more needs to be done in this country to tackle racism and hundreds of people in the german city of frankfurt came out to express their outrage over the killing and george floyd in the u.s. many held signs in support of social justice groups and chant to be against racism and in south africa and solidarity protesters held outside cape town's part protests there also showing support for the global black lives matter movement they called for action against police brutality at home. so the africa has lived under a lot of police brutality since its history and the reason information is going missing is because i do we how do we protest against i give them why does it always be. always got extra mile for wade and mike you can see it everywhere like even like education systems and house living in a 2nd stanzas like every way is inequality so there's certainly things that i would change. so that there are not 0 or 100000 people forced to flee to safety from

cases of the coronavirus were detected in the rich upper class neighborhoods in the north of the city but the virus has since spread widely and at times killed mostly in pour working class neighborhoods where people have had a harder time respecting their restrictions and 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. the mosques every open for daily press service

control in the u.k. there is a risk that cases from abroad begin once again to make up a greater proportion of overall cases we need to take steps now to manage that risk of these imported cases triggering a 2nd peak china is warning the u.k. that interfering in hong kong's affairs could backfire after the prime minister said the u.k. was ready to offer millions of people in hong kong a route to citizenship if a controversial national security law is imposed china says foreign influence is a threat to the territory stability and prosperity now the people who would have access to what boris johnson calls a route to citizenship are those with the so-called b n opar support which stands for british national overseas b.l.o. was issued to people in hong kong when it was still a british colony before it was handed back to china in 1907 and is a travel document but it doesn't automatically give holders british citizenship or even allow them to live or work in the u.k.

around 300000 people hold a passport but nearly 2900000 in hong kong are eligible for it or about 40 percent of the population or britain has more in this from london and he says the move is likely to strain ties between china and the u.k. . i think the issuing of this message by 1st of all the foreign secular dominic rob and emphasized and reiterated by the prime minister himself chorused johnson shows i think that the normal discrete lines of diplomacy seem the options seem to be narrowing china has pressed on with this national security law despite opposition and the foreign service here in the u.k. has grown increasingly concerned about that now what are they offering well 1st of all at the moment be a no passport holders that's 30350000 of them can come here for 6 months without needing a visa the offer now is for to be extended to 12 months and to have a right to work here in the u.k.

and potentially have a pathway to citizenship and what boris johnson has gone even further than the foreign secretary is saying is that if he's gone to extended to those who are eligible to apply for that passports are not just the current passport holders but those eligible to apply so you can see this is a really major shift in the government's stance and one that has drawn sharp criticism from china the british government has gone ahead with it anyway so you can see there that tempers necessarily but hackles are right are rising on both sides. the trouble ministration has announced and stopping all chinese passenger flights from landing in the united states from june the 16th washington accuses beijing of failing to comply with existing aviation agreements saying it's become impossible for u.s. airlines to resume services to china relations between the world's 2 largest economies have soured over the global pandemic and new laws that jeopardize hong kong's autonomy. german paedophile has been identified as the prime suspect in the
