breathe freud's death has brought police violence against black civilians back into the spotlight a civil rights activist reverend sharpton gave a eulogy for floyd saying it was time to stand up in his name. you know much throwing story has been the story of black folks because ever since 401 years ago. the reason we could never be who we wanted and dream debian is you kept your knees on our neck. what happened to from oh it happens every day in this country and actually a case shared in health services and in every area of american life it's time for us to stand up in charges made and say kid show me off our next. spoke at the ceremony humanizing the man who's become the face of

a nationwide movement it's crazy all these people came to see my brother and. that's amazing to me that he touched so many people hearts you know that he built such in our hearts you know. you come to 3rd war where we're from people across right now and it's how much they love them you know i'm just stand strong as i can because i need to get it out i need to get it out everybody won't just as we want justice the george he's going to get it he's going to get it. meanwhile the 3 former police officers charged with aiding and abetting floyd's murder have made their 1st appearance in court there have been on the left has been arrested and charged with his murder while the other 3 j. alexander cohen thomas lane and to tao were only arrested on wednesday a judge set bail of a $1000000.00 they face up to 40 years in prison if convicted. her

name is live in minneapolis and natasha it was an emotional service wasn't it. well today we learned about george floyd the father the grandfather the brother the friend the goal many of his family members were in attendance and 2 of his brothers a cousin a nephew spoke we learned also about more about the impact that he had not only on his friends but about how people are mourning not only here in minneapolis but in his native community of houston his younger brother said that he's simply amazed by how much george floyd has touched people there was also a rousing call to action the reverend al sharpton he is an iconic african-american civil rights leader in the united states gave the eulogy and he roused people to

act he said that some people want to tell us to be peaceful but what they really mean is they want us to be quiet they want us to shut up and suffer in silence and at one point toward the end of the ceremony everyone in attendance and even people out here in this park who were listening in via a loud speaker were asked to stand for a moment of silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds that is the amount of time that derrick chosen a former minneapolis police officer knelt on george floyd's neck on memorial day almost 3 of those minutes after floyd was unresponsive but again i think today for many people this was the 1st time they got to hear about who george floyd was one of his brothers said we didn't grow up with much our mother raised us but we grew up with each other one of the brothers shared an anecdote saying that we couldn't afford a washer and a dryer so we used to wash our clothes in the sink and dries them in the oven

apparently george floyd was very well liked he was described as an alpha male an athletic man with a huge presence who was constantly bringing home. sort of straight friends indeed of food and attention and. again there was a lot of it this is to think about his children he has children he has grandchildren and relatives there asked for people to pray for them this memorial took place here on the campus of north central university in minneapolis and the president began today by saying that they are establishing a george floyd memorial fund and already more than $50000.00 has been donated to that fund the president of the university put out a call to other universities around the country to establish their own george lloyd memorial fund to help lift up the next generation of african american leaders and

just to circle back to some of the things that reverend al sharpton said he said that george floyd story is the story of black folks in america he says since 401 years ago we have not been able to be who we need to be because quote you have had your knee on our neck it is time to stand up and say get your off our necks and natasha in the broader cools for justice in the meantime there is there is a kind of progress on the initial stages of justice with the police officers appearing in court talk us through about process. well listen the minnesota 'd attorney general is asking people to tamp down expectations he is saying while it is very a very good sign that 4 officers have been charged in this case he says that getting a conviction will be difficult he reminds people that historically in the united

states it is difficult for juries to convince police officers so the charges were upgraded for derrick cho been he is the man who knelt on floyd's neck so it's but his charges have been upgraded to 2nd degree murder and the 3 other officers have been charged with aiding and abetting it's interesting if you take a closer look at 2 of the officers children had 17 prior police misconduct claims one of the other officers tao tao foul had 6 previous police misconduct claims and the new york times analyzed some data from minneapolis and said even though african-americans here are 20 percent of the population of minneapolis that the police punched put people in chokeholds based use tasers african-american 60 percent of the time and that police in the last 5 years were 7 times more likely to use force against african-american suspects than they were whites in terms of

a name thank you very much indeed. 100 also gathered in new york to remember george floyd new york has marched through the city for the 10th day in a row bill de blasio and governor andrew cuomo sought to deflect criticism of the tactics used by police on demonstrators who has used battens and pepper spray to disperse crowds of protesters or wednesday night. more metal fencing has been put up around the white house as protests continue in washington president trump was reportedly rushed to a secure bunker in the white house when a group of protesters hopped over temporary barricades last friday he's denied the report saying he was only inspecting a secure location hundreds of active duty troops who were sent to washington d.c. area to respond in response to any under arrest and now expected to head back to their home base. she had

a chance is that with the protest is out in washington and she had what kind of momentum is there the protests any sign that they're dying down or do you think they're building up. too early to tell but this time yesterday there were thousands of people outside the white house today at this point around 200 but just in the last hour it's grown from about 50 to 200 so you never know really but what's fascinating is look look where they are we were almost without that perimeter fence of the white house yesterday yesterday we were a block up the national guard have chosen to position themselves in an armored line a block up from where we are today but look look at this view now that we have we this is the 1st time we've actually seen how an unobstructed view of the white house behind this fence even in previous days since the fence has been put up at least there's been a heavily all modes division of troops with riot shields lining the area behind the fence today we have a handful of us federal park police there and the like we have secret service

uniformed police there in the dark we had a photographer who i don't know i don't think he was here for the sight seeing who was taking pictures of the crowd earlier as well but it's a very likely policed policed white house today now this is of course deceptive we know that there are 4500 national guard who have been deployed to the u.s. both from what has been deployed to the u.s. capitol where there's d.c. now. thousands from around the country so they are here on the streets and in fact there are little pockets as you drive around d.c. vehicles and men armed to the teeth who are there in wait so we know that they're around and then there's also this constant constant threats that we've had from donald trump of the $1600.00 active duty troops an hour away who are stationed at who will be able to come within an hour's notice we're told with riot gear and

bad nets and that's always been a sign you know very worrying very wiring the constant presence of everyone's mindset now in the last few minutes actually we've been getting reports of these some of those from the 82nd airborne might be leaving soon this is interesting because the day before the defense secretary and the department of defense attempted to send all of the active duty troops home them to went to the white house for a meeting and then shortly after that that would it was rescinded the white house was unhappy with s.b.s. today because he gave that speech saying that trump shouldn't invoke the insurrection act he needs to invoke an insurrection act in order to do what he's doing in d.c. and the rest of the country that is override local authorities take federal control over the national guard and potentially placed active duty military on the streets of states around the country he can't do that in the rest of the country without invoking the insurrection act here in d.c. we have no control he can do basically what he wants the mayor of d.c. however is still trying to have a press conference and she said back in fact when the national guard post of

themselves over there they were stepping over metropolitan police jurisdiction whether that's had any any impact on the decision making process we don't know because in the end they don't have to listen to her but what's also interesting on the other major question that we have is well the 2 actually one how long will this fencing last here at what the map called the people's house i mean it's deeply symbolic at the very least you know will access forever be for the next you know for the foreseeable future be restricted around the white house but secondly. and the police chief of d.c. recognize this how long will we in d.c. apparently be under some sort of federal version of martial law or effectively we have local control over the troops on the streets national guard paramilitary and for the moment at least the threat of active duty military we have so many questions as to how long this will last the police chief says if he does seem it's understandable the residents feel we are under a military takeover right now in the capital we don't have the answers yet as to how long that will last. thank you very much. well the u.s.

president has hit back at former u.s. defense secretary james mattis who has denounced handling of the protests and mattis accused the president of stoking divisions among americans his comments followed a rebuke from the current defense chief who said he was opposed to sending in the military my counterparts from washington. the protesters are once again out in the nation's capital gathering in the percentage of the white house and now familiar scenes but in the course of days of demonstration there have been unprecedented sights military police deployed alongside law enforcement units at the president's instruction military and national guard helicopters flying low over crowds using the down drop from rotors to cause people to scatter a tactic often used in iraq or other zones of foreign u.s. military deployment the president has contemplated invoking the insurrection act as

seldom used law or introduced in the early 19th century that subject to certain conditions could allow the domestic deployment of the military in the event of civil unrest or insurrection this strongly opposed by the secretary of defense 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 president spokes person brushed aside the secretary's comments president has the sole authority to invoke answer action act it is definitely a tool within his power this president has one singular and it is protecting america's streets we cannot have burning churches we cannot have police officers who are shot we cannot have businesses that are looted and destroyed the insurrection act is a tool available the president has the sole authority i mean if needed he will use it earlier sources at the pentagon announced that armed military units that had

been deployed near the city were being sent back to their home bases but this decision was reverse stopped of the secretary of defense held a meeting at the white house and armed soldiers remain poised for immediate deployment of the president so decide then in an extraordinary statement to former defense secretary denounced the president for dividing the nation esteemed general james mattis resigned in december 28th after a serious policy disagreements with president trump he refused to comment then saying he would when the time was right now he's condemned the president for as he puts it ordering troops to violate the constitutional rights of their fellow citizens and he continues donald trump is the 1st president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the american people does not even pretend to try instead he tries to divide us we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years of the deliberate effort

we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years without mature leadership heavily on national guard troops deployed on the steps of the lincoln memorial a graphic image of a society divided putting troops against the city and its residents they are meant to serve. i cannot al-jazeera washington. after criticism of the president for his threat to send troops on to the streets his top military adviser the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley also released a statement appearing to set out the military's boundaries for engagement he said troops of all races colors and creeds should be reminded they uphold the values of our nation and should operate consistent with national laws and our own high standards of conduct at all times he added a handwritten note saying they should stay true to the american people when the son joined now by maggie seymour who's a fellow at the foreign policy research institute she also served as an active duty

intelligence officer in the marine corps she joins me via skype from jacksonville in south carolina thanks very much for being with us so in that memo the memo he also says every member of the u.s. military swears an oath to support and defend the constitution and the values embedded within it it appears the president tom has been reminded by the top brass that that the oath is to is the legion says to the constitution not necessarily in the end to the commander in chief how important a moment is this for america to have these this kind of reminder from the top military brass i think it's very important for a number of reasons i think. the increasing clip of our military which did not start with president trump but has definitely been rapidly exhilarated by him. america or united states has a say in our military that is quickly a roadie and i think having the top leaders come out and say you know that the military is a political organization that defends the ideals and all americans that this country started on is an incredibly important how far would discover this of the

confrontation though i mean it is if they are asked to use the military more actively against protesters in future in this it is it then are they then saying that they it is their duty to refuse. i hope so. you know that puts in this is what's so dangerous about the situation and something that i don't think president trump has ever really understood about the military it puts people in a very dangerous and a very tough situation you know we have men and women that have signed up to serve this country to serve and protect the constitution and now he's used cheapening that service and bastardized that service by putting men and women like my my friends my family and a situation where they have to choose between what they know in their heart is right and what their the leading boss is telling them and that's just not right that the military is not a political pawn for him say used or hours based or tubes or power or to feed his

own ego the military is here to protect and serve the american people and we deserve a leader who understands that. this is hypothetical but what would happen if he did try to push them and they did refuse well there's a number of systems in place i don't know if they would be where they would hold it would it would certainly test the chain of command and it would lead to a lot of chaos and confusion amongst the ranks. i do expect some people to push back and that is going to lead to to further his years in a force that needs to be united magazine will thank you very much indeed for joining us from your thoughts thank you thank you. coming up on this news from london 3 men appear in court in georgia charged with the murder of a black man who was out jogging last. libya's

un recognized government says it's regained full control of the capital tripoli after a year of fighting for hafta. the protests over george floyd's death were spurred on by a single act of violence but they were fueled by countless examples of how different life is in the u.s. if you're black not white as we've seen in minneapolis treatment at the hands of police is different 24 percent of the 1099 people killed by american police last year were black even though they account for just 13 percent of the population black people are 5 times as likely to find themselves in jail 797 of every 100000 are behind bars compared to just 268 white people though their rate of imprisonment has fallen steadily for more than a decade unemployment is up across the board during the coronavirus pandemic 16.7

percent of black people were unemployed in april compared to 14.7 percent of white people and white americans earn far more with average household worth around 10 times the average black household that's $171000.00 to just $17600.00. i'm joined now via skype by civil rights expert you who williams who's a history professor at the university of st thomas in support of minnesota thank you very much indeed for joining us and tell me about those those inequalities i mean those they were highlighted when they during the morial service said by the reverend al sharpton and but he also talked about this being a different time as a more hopeful today than ever do you think that he and others are right to see this as a kind of a seminal moment for the u.s. i think they're right in the sense that what you're seeing is an acknowledgment on the part of white americans that it's demonstrated by the number or way protestors

you see in the streets of the knowledge of the privilege of not dealing with those inequalities and recognizing in a very concrete way the ways in which those inequalities create to america is the america for 'd white people and the america for african-americans which is defined by economic social and political inequality manifests i think in its most extreme form in police brutality. and we mentioned but i do want to ask you how much of the the issue here is racism and how much of it is brutality piran simple. well they're intertwined in the united states unfortunately they go hand in hand so the is sharpton talked about in his memorial today the knee on the net become symbolic in some sense of the economic strangulation of communities of color of the political strangulation and denial of the right to vote in other cannery that often happens at the polls and then of course the actual physical violence itself and that again

is manifest not just in encounters violent encounters with police but in the criminal justice system the criminalization of space on the fact that african-americans as you noted in the lead in are disproportionately punished and disproportionately charged with my crimes and country all of those collectively contribute to this moment and help to crystallize why there is such feeling of anger in disappointment and distrust in the united states over issues of race and beyond the protests now in the movement that there is and that's been going on call it a number here is what will the key measures be that will make a difference and really create the change that people want well i think in the immediate steps are dealing with this app to police brutality and having justice in terms of the officers who are charged with this particular crime but i think reverend al sharpton hinted at what the larger piece of this will be and that will be pushing for legislation that addresses this economic these economic disparities

health care disparities kind of looking larger at the system as a whole and saying what are the ways that that system in his analogy keeps its needy undernet of african-americans by the nih and him access to adequate health care denying them access to adequate employment and placing them in this situation of 2nd class citizenship in who wins thank you very much indeed for your helps thank you. a judge has ruled that there is enough evidence to put 3 suspects on trial of the shooting of another black man in georgia 25 year old bree was out jogging when he was chased and shot 3 times by a white retired police officer and his son in february a 3rd man who captured the killing on camera was later charged with felony murder footage of the shooting in brunswick was leaked online in early may sparking nationwide anger and investigators told the court that one of the suspects used a racial slur after killing our very. so much more still to come this hour

memorials said the police enforcement of social distancing rules are a cover to clamp down on democracy on call now as in going to a new iraq they want to rule by fear and to and ban or political expression and i think this is very much worried about the future a little more than 3000 police were deployed across the city to enforce the ban some broods were set up to mock the military crackdown allowing the people of hong kong to honor the victims of the tiananmen square massacre the annual vigil in hong kong is one of the only memorials held on chinese territory to mark a chapter in chinese history that the government in beijing was the 1st to pick it the mainland has suppressed all mention of the channel mathcad but hong kong's unique status as a special administrative region has exempted it from that censorship in the past democracy group said china's introduction of national security rules in hong kong which target acts of terrorism and political dissidents could trip in the future of

clock out jazeera hong kong. china will be slightly more open to the outside world from next week as more international flights resume but it's still locked in an airline dispute with the u.s. which could worsen the already tricky relations between the 2 reports from beijing . beijing airport is known for being one of the busiest in the world but since the beginning of the pandemic it's largely been quiet fearing imported coronavirus cases chinese authorities had restricted the number of foreign airlines flying in and out of the country starting on monday that bad will. and increasing number of carriers including u.s. airlines will be allowed to resume operations. china has already announced relevant policy adjustments we hope the u.s. side will not create obstacles for resolving this issue the move is an apparent

retreat from an escalating ellen dispute with washington on wednesday the us announced it would ban all chinese allies starting on june 16th it said beijing failed to respond to requests by united and delta airlines to reserve flights this month while chinese carriers continued flying to american cities the u.s. airlines are ready to resume their flights to china and they would like to go back not necessarily to there. but with flexibility to operate from the u.s. your. destination. in much china's aviation regulators implemented a so-called $51.00 policy limiting foreign airlines to one flight a week it says international flight quotas will be increased as the pandemic eases but routes will be suspended all halted if more than 5 passengers test positive for the coronavirus beijing's airline dispute with washington escalate tensions at

a time when u.s. china relations are already under immense strain both sides are continuing to fight over trade practices the origin of the corona virus and hong kong's new national security. but as diplomatic tensions increase the millions of passengers who usually fly between the u.s. and china every year will be hoping for a few a travel restrictions. and more smooth landings between e.u. al-jazeera beijing a u.s. navy veteran detained in iran since 2018 has been released president donald trump confirmed my whites release in a tweet a photo has been released showing white standing next to the u.s. special representative to iran brian hook a veteran stopped over in switzerland on his way back home it comes a day after an iranian scientist serious as gary arrived back in tehran after being freed from an american prison mexico and brazil have recorded their highest daily

death tolls as corona virus continues to tear through latin america mexico reported a 1092 fatalities on wednesday more than double the previous days figure while brazil recorded 1349 deaths are more than a 1000000 confirmed cases across latin america most are in brazil which has more than 584000 infections of the 2nd highest in the world so i mean our major is deputy head of mission in mexico and honduras for doctors without borders he joins us from mexico city on skype a can you give us an idea of the situation in mexico itself in terms of coronavirus . sure recent escalation of the damage was simply different areas of the country so we're stepping up for some activities into a most remote. to respond today to the needs of the population how differently is this being treated depending on whether in a city or outside the cities. of course not in america historically all the house

system are structured around the big cities where it's the most population concentrated so the situation that collects some of the most vulnerable populations such aspirants asylum seekers refugees indigenous population or people leaving our homeless people what do you make of the level of preparedness that mexico had before the outbreak and and it's kind of the measures it's taking now because i gather is easing restrictions in spite of the high numbers. that's right i think mexico like countries in the world were not prepared for these and then make of course they have stepped up their house system to to respond of course is still not ideal we see that social distancing and containment measures should be proportional to detract and should continue on to try to exist not to overload the house capacity i know you specialize in mexico honduras and guatemala.

why do you think that america has been hit so hard by this. well there is a combination of factors 1st there's a high level of realty meaning there is people with. a large percentage of the population which diabetes obesity or cardiovascular disease that's one aspect another cause could be that they are fragile how systems that we have in the region which is again mostly focus and on the big cities but also this rural areas that people cannot access or difficult populations including in the big cities doesn't have access to quality or timely healthcare. what do you what about the international community what have they helped at all in dealing with the situation in iraq in america. look we understand that it's a very complex situation for the organizations we face challenges to step up for abrasions as well we have seen that many organizations left or reduced to operations and we think that dissing in this time it's for the people need the most
