a son one of the most powerful moments of the memorial this afternoon here on the campus of north central university in minneapolis is when the reverend al sharpton and iconic african-american civil rights leader asked people to stand and take a moment of silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds that is the amount of time that former minneapolis police officer. on floyd's neck almost 3 of those minutes after floyd was unresponsive and this is where the ceremony took place there's a park across the street here on the campus and there were loud speakers playing the ceremony and you could see people stop and stand in the park for almost 9 minutes for that moment of silence for its family recalled a man that was extremely lovable they said that he was an athletic alpha male someone who is constantly bringing home stray friends who needed a place to stay

a good meal they said that he. was a powerful huge you get the sense of someone who is a kind of gentle giant and of the family said we did not grow up with much our mother raised us but we grew up with each other and you can see from the memorial service people coming together the family coming together but there were also celebrities in the audience comedian kevin hart a few musicians because of social distancing this $1000.00 capacity church only held 500 people they had to place people every other chair but the university a couple things the university has said that. it will establish a george floyd memorial scholarship more than $50000.00 has already been donated and the president of the university is calling on other universities in the united states to establish a george flower floyd memorial fund as well to quote lift up african-american

trouble before he had 17 previous police misconduct complaints another one of those officers 2000 had 6 previous police misconduct cases so apparently both of these officers had been the topic of 'd appy accusations of police brutality but today the family was focused on remembering george floyd and celebrating his life. thank you very much indeed. 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 hope to have a temporary barricades last friday he's denied the reports saying he was only inspecting the secured occasion hundreds of active duty troops who were sent to the washington d.c. area in response to any unrest and now expected to head back to their home base.

she had her chances with the protesters in washington to tell us what's happening where you are right now. where a couple of 100 protesters outside the words are split what's been going on of last few hours or there are protests across the city right now we understand. often they stop and pull was a particular around the city and i have 8 or 9 minutes of silence to denote the time the amount of time it that the police officer knelt on the neck of george floyd's but the big difference today however is the military costs on wednesday no one was about. a block away no it was not anywhere near even the perimeter fence which is around the white house itself is about 2 blocks from the white house today we'll look at a look at of you. this is the 1st time we've seen the white house in ages actually and there's not even a row of security behind the fence which is what we saw on tuesday just

a handful of. beautiful old talking uniformed security services secret service rather uniformed federal police. maybe a little bit more movement in the back there from national guard troops that maybe you can see in the distance but it's a very light policing we all know this is deceptive of course we all know that there's 4500 national guard service people in d.c. right now and you do when you drive around or walk around d.c. you see that all clumps of them with their lives. and their rounds just not here at the moment we also know that we've also also always had that threat off the active military that you alluded to just a moment ago 1600. military trained to kill these these are soldiers u.s. base you go overseas and kill people at the troubles always dying this around around but it's always been sort of a threatening it's something threatening in the background that within the hour they can get on buses. with their nets and police the streets d.c.

as you mention in the last hour we had at least some of those active duty troops will now be going i will show my side of it seems you know minority at least at the very least right now but we know that there is that presence but we have these questions the mayor wants all troops from out of d.c. to go by. but she has no control which is also asking how long this fence will will stay she says it's it's restricting access of americans to what she calls the the people's house and the d.c. police chief is also asking how long will these troops stay on the streets of d.c. they have no control of the we have no control over their local control federal control. unlike the rest of the country we don't need to invoke the insurrection act to take federal control over the national guard and active duty troops he doesn't need to do that here so we're trying to figure out i did this with a police chief suggested i mean he said he understood it seemed like we were under some sort of military occupation right and we just don't know how long that's going to last she have a tendency thank you very much. 100 also gathered in new york to remember george

floyd christiansen nummi is there for us christine any sign of the protests dying down. not at all after 7 days since they 1st took the streets here and the market the movement was going very strong earlier in the day we had actually thousands of people in the borough of brooklyn for a memorial service for george floyd many of those demonstrators then marched over the brooklyn bridge into lower manhattan and you can see i'm gathered right here behind me this is foley square in manhattan it's where the federal building is located many courts are located the brooklyn bridge is just south of here and as the demonstrators came into this area. it was interesting to see what happened they were basically trapped by police into this little area where we are now and if you look on the side over here you might see some of the officers who've been trying to allow cars to move in and to still get through the area.

and this was a big group and as we've seen over recent days they have been marching through the streets they won't stay in any one location long you have different meeting points at different parks and the police tactic that we just witnessed is basically to divide the groups as they're marching through the streets keep him in smaller groups that's thought to be a last chance for violence that way right now we're just seeing a lot of chanting kind of a standoff with police on one side of the barricades and demonstrators on the other it's all been very peaceful but very loud as other parts of the group have already made their way north. again we were at this memorial earlier in the day where there are a lot of speakers memorializing george floyd including george ford's brother terence who was at the event and all of the speakers resoundingly called for the pressure campaign to continue it. for peaceful protests but more protests until the

demonstrators get what they want which is basically a more just system of policing in this country and we're starting to hear talk about specific reforms that the demonstrators want as well but right now the focus is very much on the streets and showing no signs of abating christine salumi thank you very much. judges have ruled there's enough evidence to put 3 suspects on trial over the shooting of another black man in georgia. he was out jogging when he was chased and shot 3 times by a white retired police officer and his son in february 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 a nationwide anger and investigators told the court that one of the suspects used a racial slur after killing our very libya's u.n. back government says it has regained full control of the capital a battle for tripoli against forces loyal to the warlord holly for have to has
