of solidarity demonstrators across australia called black lives massive protests to denounce racial injustice. under surprise jobs report in the u.s. the unemployment rate falls raising hopes the economy is recovering from the coronavirus lockdown the news isn't all good. now a growing number of us police departments are enforcing changes to their tactics following the killing of an african-american man while in custody the states of new york and california as well as the city of minneapolis where george floyd died have all announced reforms she had to tansey reports from washington. each sounds very promising almost 2 weeks since george field was kewl. a minneapolis police

officer spent nearly 90 minutes pinning him to the ground by his neck police forces around the country of our uniform i really believe for the 1st time in our history we have an opportunity to really make change like we've never made it for george floyd's death has really touched a nerve like we have not seen. several police departments including minneapolis of bound police from using truckloads california will stop teaching at state police the technique across this country we train techniques on strangleholds that put people's lives at risk now we can argue that these are used as exceptions but at the end of the day karate hold that literally is designed to stop people's blood from flowing into their brain that has no place any longer than 21st century . practices police see. the problem is many of the most notorious cases of

police misconduct over the last several years including the death of george floyd have occurred in departments that on paper at least had already reformed new york bound chokeholds in 1993 yet police that continue to use them notably during the killing of eric garner in 2014 after that outcry new york police spent $35000000.00 only training officers not to strangle suspects but police complaint records show the practice still being employed with few officers disciplined and in fact minneapolis police reformed in 2016 among the new rules a requirement for officers to intervene if their colleagues used excessive force 3 officers now stand accused of aiding and abetting george floyd's murder the site of police officers taking a knee in sympathy with protesters this week has been taken as a sign that finally change is coming this was the scene in buffalo new york on

wednesday yet one of those same officers knocked over an elderly protester the following day as others who had also knelt with protesters walked by now 57 buffalo police officers have resigned because of the disciplinary action taken against 2 officers as a result of the incident they argued those officers have been suspended were just doing their job and that question what exactly is the job of a police officer might be a good place to start if police violence is truly to be addressed she every time see al-jazeera. as an activist tries to and also executive editor of global african whack a dot com he says conversations about the role of police have been. one of the things that is critical to understand is that in the late 1960 s. when then president richard nixon launched his war against crime. the end of and war against drugs the whole. scheme of

a war against increasingly led to the militarization of the police department so the police department wasn't even going paying the lip service to serve and protect it was increasingly becoming a paramilitary outfit and by the period early 2000 that actually and laid it into the federal government providing police departments with surplus military equipment well when you have police that are armed like troops are provided with tanks heavy weapons excedrin that is going to have an impact it's going to accelerate and already author a terror intensity within more forces and i think that that's what we've been seeing over the years so it's not about just in the in the choko.

it's about real public oversight it's about demilitarizing the police it's about changing the relationship between police and communities and now n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell has apologized for the way the u.s. football league handle players protest against racial injustice and police brutality calling cabinet and others began nailing him 2016 before games as the national anthem was being played happen it was fired from his team the san francisco 49 ers and has never been hired fence at all posted a video saying the league should have listened to black players can sense we the national football league condemn racism in the systematic oppression of black people. we the national football league it we won't for not listening to n.f.l. players earlier and encourage all to speak out peacefully protests we have the national football league believe lives matter well that about turn comes

after a group of n.f.l. players released this video and social media take a moment to tell you for one of us to be murdered by police brutality. all the players also demanded that the n.f.l. should specifically say that black lives matter they hear pope as a legal analyst and a contributor to forbes dot com he explains why the n.f.l. tries to make this statement now and whether it goes far enough it's because roger goodell the national football league has seen. up in arms already by any. unrests even more personality in the streets by police officers like you solved in buffalo new york of a 75 year old man bush no more and we've seen a weighting of white people in this country that no longer based on what we saw with amy cooper with a burger in new york and using a white british to try to weaponize that against

a black man christian group or is that it's no longer fight club that used to be white glove for white and. that. this white privilege that it was enjoy to ignore the by a black people no longer can happen in the morning and so are the bell he comes out this looks like more p.r. he's responding to what players have said not to the player who started all rock college happening he never mentions collin county and he mentions the players this is what in roger goodell is afraid that the same protests that have gripped our cities across america will grow in a fell stadiums when enough though season begins so is watching it all is really sincere about his apology whatever he would ask all of $32.00 member team owners in africa all the 2 or written apology to our encampment there also donate money to know your rights campaign which is it was involved in the could collaborate with

minnesota organizations. to be able to provide legal assistance for those who've been arrested for protests and lastly the n.f.l. in addition to owing him apology and owing him for money to pay into the the causes that he actually champion would be neil 4 years ago would be to give him a job and so right now roger goodell's cinema seems pretty hollow at this point. now the organizers of the black tribes national protest in sydney have won a court appeal to hold their demonstration legally as you can see thousands are gathering in australia it's not just that he for that and he racism demonstration now the government had originally bans the rally because of craven 1000 restrictions on mass gatherings but many people turned out anyway and similar demonstrations are being held across the country well let's go live now to our correspondent nick clegg who is among those protesters there in sydney nick and i looks like a huge crowd and they're not just out in solidarity for george what about

a lot of issues at home too. that's right i mean these protests right across the road well the president really different people it's not a different area as you can hear people are chanting bloc lives matter as well as i can't breathe i can't breathe with the words. lloyd but this really was not supposed to be going ahead to barge in a last ditch if it was an appeal and these people were here before that appeal even took place it has been a really interesting farm and it has been a largely peaceful protest but there are huge numbers of police he is someone they've been making lines around the protest groups which have been pretty interesting but these protesters as you say are just here showing solidarity for the black lives matter campaigns in the united states they're all sorry here

because of injustices in the indigenous community one of these protestors in jail thank you for joining us jane why did you decide to protest it's something that resonates deep in me it's on the make i can't breathe i can't breathe at all and i hope everybody else conference i want you all to feel the kind that we go through on a daily basis being only a minority group not feeling just the part below could you tell us about that because indigenous people are not simply always represented in the prison system here are definitely wise why is that i ask you so why use. does anybody know the reason why is that. i'll leave it at that i've got nothing to cite other what would you like to see come out of this and you thought this was bad and when this protest was going ahead and you still decided to come out it must be an issue that is very close to your home very much on a polynesian go up when grow up with racism my family we've suffered throughout. throughout since i was

a kid you know you walk down the street everybody looks at you different they point at you they pick it. all out you will support each other strength now great group the prime minister scott morrison says that these issues that we shouldn't be connecting with the united states that a strong leader is different and we should be. dealing with these challenges and not sharing these issues what do you think about that and what do you think about maybe we shouldn't be having these protests because of the health issues surrounding coronavirus so what he's saying that we're not suffering the same issues so he's obviously not connected to his people he would have a clue what's going on out there look at the numbers that you said that are in jail look at the numbers of deaths in jail of blacks in jail in the versus what persons anything else come in tell me. so what would you like to see come. what what would i like to see come from this we need to have some form of a summit the world summit on a regular basis these issues change on a regular basis so you can just as one of continuously happen on not oh well

thank you for your time but there are protests happening right around the country in a strangely it is saturday we've seen thousands of people in brisbane victoria and at life and they're not only supporting what's happening in the united states it's speaking out about that the representation of indigenous people in the prison system. police have said that they will be watching the crowd here they're expecting to march down to central station now this is a legal protest but we will just have to see what happens and we'll be watching very closely indeed on the ground for us in sydney thanks so much. well still ahead to announce their. celebrations in libya as forces allied to the un recognized government claim significant gains. and we visit a makeshift camp in colombia where venezuelan migrants are try. because of the qur'an a virus.

hello the very horse of a drive throughout much of the middle east and also the arabian peninsula want to clearing away from talking it all see us and finally we'll see the carrying away from the southwest of yemen but not before of course is the sister ray has produced scenes like this many of the streets well under water and hope for the rains they should begin to recede the could just be one or 2 shots lingering throughout south a bit before the bulk of the rain is very much out of the picture but the winds you can see here the arrows very strong coming down from the north so strong gusty winds but it's a hot dry wind and it is whole 46 in baghdad 49 in kuwait on saturday and the mid forty's across into dohan as we go through sunday the really isn't much change of anything the winds a bit stronger and that means just hot and dry i can see want to 2 shots maybe just

into the far west of yemen but overall it is a dry and hot picture then down into southern africa nothing really happening across much of the south some from society by but the very far off shore not bringing any showers but when you much of the way of wales where we will see some rain is this it'll system hey we've got some face strong on shore winds pushing showers across into tanzania into areas a kenya and also one of the shots developing through a southern and central mozambique is a go on through saturday and pushing on into sunday as well. mass protests forcing the government's hand but are we seeing the home try listening to the top aide to president we follow journalists on the frontline business fishtank on the free press committed to reporting the facts as police officers of pointing guns at journalists and say stop the hong kong fact and

fiction truth is in any way on al-jazeera. hello again the stars here today and let's remind you of our top stories this hour a growing number of us police departments are changing their tactics in the wake of the george floyd killing new york state and the city of minneapolis have moved to implement reforms including a ban on police chokeholds. and the n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell has apologized for the way the u.s. football league handled players' protests against police brutality back in 2016 google says the league was wrong for not listening to black players concerns at the

time and will now encourage peaceful protests against racism. black lives matter protests are getting underway across a strain as you can see from our live pictures here thousands have gathered in sydney where organizers of one of the 11th hour appeal to hold the demonstration legally now that rally had originally been banned because of code 19 restrictions. now president donald trump says the u.s. economy is bouncing back from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic that's after the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 13 percent but there was little change for african-americans while the economy also regained $2500000.00 jobs in the month of may economists are warning that the crisis is far from over his rebels . u.s. unemployment declined slightly from its highest levels during the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic as some businesses and factories reopened president donald trump was quick to claim credit saying the economy is taking off as he put it like

a rocket ship will go back to having the greatest economy anywhere in the world nothing close some economists disagree saying the economy is still staggering and millions of workers still suffering it's a small blip in what is another wise belleek jobless picture i think it's important to remember that we had the highest level of unemployment in the u.s. census the 2nd world war last month the picture has some groups likely since then we've added about 2 and a half 1000000 jobs but it is important remember that there are still 19600000 workers who are and remain an important group which have to situation in february before the corona crisis hits the crisis is still a part of us in a bizarre twist trump tried to connect the unemployment numbers to the killing of

george cloyd by police with a positive spin and hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for a country this is a great day for him it's a great day for everybody presumptive democratic presidential nominee joe biden called trump's reference to floyd despicable and criticized him for boasting about the jobs report i was disturbed over to see the president crowing this morning. basically hanging a mission accomplished banner out there when there's so much more work to be done. so many americans are still heard trump also claimed full slee that he had ordered the country to shut down during the pandemic in fact he resisted the shutdown and criticized governors who issued stay at home orders the u.s. says nearly 2000000 confirmed covert 19 infections and more than 110000 people have

died c infection rates have not claimed adequately. new cases appear to be growing in many areas of the country this is threatening to drive us into another surge of cases in the fall or senator and that's going to cause another lockdown in the economy. speculators on wall street cheered the unemployment numbers driving share prices sharply higher investors' exuberance is strikingly disconnected from the death toll remaining joblessness and more than a week of nationwide protest and outrage. later trump visited a factory in maine that produces swabs for covert 19 tests as usual he didn't wear a mask rob reynolds al-jazeera flair and so tonight is a labor economist and associate professor at the university of minnesota he says these numbers show promising signs but they're still a long way. i think they do reflect that economic activity picked up

between mid april and may and that you know when you fall down so far either bounce back up. the 1st act is easy in the next step back a little harder you know maybe halfway back is not too bad i think that's not a question that's going to happen on its own home. the question is what are we going to do to close the last part of the journey and to get all the way back to where we started we have real challenges to do that we will see progress i think we will see progress pretty broadly i don't think that will necessarily see the disparities decline. the most hard hit sectors of the economy are the ones that disproportionately ploy people of color and so it will they will be slower. to

get back to normal. you know i think the challenges we're facing in our economy and in our society are very real and they're young fundamentally public health challenges right now and we need to address that. so yeah the african-american unemployment rate ticked up. it to 16.8 percent which is the same as that the peak of the great recession. part of it is that people came back into the labor force and are looking for work and. but you know we have such a long way back to where we started it's very premature to declare mission accomplished. well there had been scenes of jubilation in libya after the sudden end of world khalifa haftar long offensive to seize the capital people crowded into tripoli's main square celebrating the fall of the nearby city of tire houla it was the remaining stronghold of have to us forces and a strategically important base in the country's west the un recognized government
