what we want to know is how do these things affect people we revisit places to stay even when there are no international headlines. al-jazeera really invests in that and that's a privilege as a journalist. 'd pat. this is al jazeera. fellow there on the clock this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes tens of thousands of people are gathering in washington d.c. in what's expected to be the biggest demonstration against police brutality in the wake of george floyd's. around the world from london to sydney tens of thousands marched in solidarity. losing ground the libyan warlord who for have to support

calls for a ceasefire is a tripoli government surges forward into the stronghold of. lebanon's army steps in between rival protest groups in the capital its economic pain brings thousands on to the streets. with a sinister side of the corona virus outbreak we look at how criminals have become more brazen in chilling. so than the chorus of voices demanding an end to systemic racism and pleas brutality is getting louder with millions marching across the united states and around the world this follows of course the death of george floyd in minneapolis who was suffocated by a police officer 2 weeks ago right now tens of thousands of people in washington was for what's not to be the largest demonstrate in chian in the city so far the peaceful gathering has centered on the newly named black lives matter plaster which

is not far from the white house hundreds of mourners attended a memorial service in north carolina where george floyd was born people waited in long lines outside the church to pay their respects meanwhile the cities of seattle and denver have introduced stricter rules for police using tear gas against protesters this comes a day after new york state california and many. blisse announced policy changes and the 2 buffalo police officers 4 suspended for pushing has 75 year old protester to the ground on thursday leaving him with critical injuries have been charged with so-called felony assault both of people not guilty all right let's speak straightaway to she returns is live for us in washington d.c. and she crowds all over the city peaceful so far. yes remarkably well remarkably they're always peaceful actually noticing some some studying last night. there were 3 congressional studies into why riots occur and

cities during demonstrations following the civil rights suit civil rights riots of the 2nd late sixty's early seventy's and they all found that it's when you have a vet's security forces presidents that's what usually sets writes off we've had this kind of research for 50 years and yet over and over again as we saw at the beginning of the week we have these shows of strength on the streets when we see protests like this one and in fact we're getting more reporting about what donald trump was trying to do in the last couple of c.b.s. reported that at the beginning of the week donald trump told his it's cabinet that he wanted tens of thousands of troops across the united states patrolling the streets he really wants to push and his image is the law and order the president as far as he's concerned this appeals to his base is an electrical fire wall that electoral fire wall is old aversions evangelical voters and white suburban women

and as far as he's concerned no an order will help him solidify his base as he's losing in the polls a bounce other sections of the population in fact just in the last few minutes donald trump has tweeted just 3 words an exclamation mark law and order that's all i want trump's campaign has just posted this liberal suggs destroying all streets restore law and order exclamation mark president trump needs your input by midnight and then there's a link so this is all very well but it's our strongest insight on the republican republican side of trump's campaign is concerned this is a rallying point to get his base his base he appears that you've lost the argument with the defense establishment there's minimal security presidents. visible we know they have 4500 national guard not to mention d.c. police but they keep it low profile because they don't want to be associated with this and again we always got to be careful that too what the defense establishment

have been objecting to is having the military police us streets they've got a problem with the militarization also the police on us streets because the pentagon has been something loads of military equipment to the police forces so that the military doesn't have to get involved and of course that's one of the points that is raised on the pocket as hand by black lives about if you stop spending billions of dollars on militarizing the police perhaps you'll get a different attitude but also you could put all that money into communities i'm not to have to police the subsequent inequality with a farmhouse and demond to b.d.'s and terrorize the documentary's to make sure that the fault lines don't start expire and break it is an incredible thing isn't it and she had that does they were just a matter of days that the conversation over the policing in how it should be enacted in the united states is just completely changed.

it's fascinating that for once we really do seem to be getting a lot of people talking about specifics so it's not just stop the police killing people but we're seeing defund the police and that's new i mean obviously activist of for years but lives about to have so that for years but now there's a real discussion amongst just everyday people about what that means and what that does mean is. instead of having a police force that something terrible has gone wrong with i mean just look at buffalo today when those those those police officers went for the court hearing all the other police officers would have to support them as far as that concerned that just doing the job so now the question isn't as i asked for activists for some time and more generally what do they think the job i exactly is. is it really i mean what is this police force that they think that knocking someone over a 75 year old man is perfectly allowed the minneapolis police union didn't see anything wrong with the the conduct that led to george floyd's death so this has

really come to the surface and that's why you get the discussion to fund the police well that actually means is take the money away from the police and use it to social workers use it for mental health professionals use it to invest in communities use it to invest in schools use it to us in the community because a lot of the jobs that the police are us to do in american society the police clearly shouldn't be doing because their response tends to be a taser pepper spray and a gun well as it should be trying to deescalate not escalate they don't seem to understand how to deal with situations so it really is a rather specific discussion with saying now not just the oh god it's are terrible that police are killing people. all right she had thanks very much and if she ever turns in washington d.c. let's move on to natasha good name has more from a produce much of minneapolis that's of course the city where george floyd gone. we are in northeast minneapolis where as you can see there is a large crowd making their way to city hall they began at

a park nearby where they sing prayed and chanted and it's clear that that anger passion and commitment to implement real change is continuing to gain momentum on the streets of minneapolis and even st paul we began the day in st paul any children's march the children there saying they are there to not only honor the memory of george freud but to stand in solidarity with the 6 year old daughter giana one girl was carrying a sign that said giana said daddy changed the world we're seeing a lot of signs here that are calling for defunding the minneapolis police department that topic of discussion is getting real traction here but there's been no discussion what we promised in lieu of the police departments in terms of reform and there is some change coming the soda department of human rights has filed to discriminate story charge

a charge of discrimination rather against the city of minneapolis in the minneapolis police department the commissioner says she believes that george floyd's death shows a pattern of race based policing and that if immediate action is not taken it will cause irreparable harm that will particularly impact the community of color the city the police department and the minnesota department of human rights have come to an initial agreement to do the following chokeholds and upper streets will be banned if an officer witnesses a chokehold are not being used or any other type of unauthorized force they have. a duty to report it immediately even if they're on scene they need to pick up the radio the phone and report it they also have a duty to intervene if they do not and they witness an authorized force they say nothing don't report it they could be punished on par with someone who has actually

use that an authorised force the minnesota department of human rights is continuing its investigation into the department on the legal fronts on monday 44 year old derek chauvin the former minneapolis police officer who kneeled on george boyd's neck will make his 1st court appearance it will be a preliminary hearing we are told that children has already been moved to another correctional facility due to concerns over his safety the 2 new york christian salumi has the latest on the protest the. then it just does not want to be a nice memory you are grab one time you go gather in the yard arm and i'm done march we're going to run an underwater that was ready was one of the we're going to i was here with me but alaric. marana me when i was here i want to go to korea. where the response i mean the crowd well today is a collaborate in a morgue in a safe and i mean again when he or that people are able to express their outrage

about what's been happening to them in another name when here in new york city and in new york state i mean i want to. share in the name. just. one other people by an area like in the midst of the might make it outside of the main event lot about what other people are doing like maybe being wrong outside of new york but we have just been right here in the main we have a body that has. anyone had been to help the child who was on the board or even right even today we know that there had so many that we abandon the war but there are only the red cards and vic the shelling lacked the will and the we came together on go green and the mere fact that the

high cost of goods and many other organizations in the bank even that is already going to be no that we're not going to go in on all of the quell the door give the appearance that we're all crazy and our voyage quite as important but joy all right not the only victim there are too many across the country to that and one of your demands is to defund the police armor do you have a specific amount and are you worried that maybe her mom's people who are worried about safety and industry and hide behind maradi. we are worried about britney and we're worried about police and i know that and also my faith will thank me and in developing the strategy. i mean if you make. the right management then and which many of the areas where the young and the individuals work and what kind of crime where they never been i married

a beer redemption environment but there are models that work with what we don't need to mean not if they're not held accountable but they're running our streets and having the ability to kill em with impunity. well there are concerns about credit are spreading further in the u.s. following all these bass protests that was seeing in what is already of course the worst hit nation from the pandemic let's take this on we can speak to dr bob arnot to the medical doctor and former chief medical correspondent at n.b.c. news he joins us from still in the u.s. state for them all but good to see the. you know we've been told for months to keep our distance but suddenly around the world not just in the united states people is shoulder to shoulder protesting to what degree do you think people are risking getting infected. well so this is a super spreader event you can expect to see infections but what's interesting nic is the timeline that is this could be 5 days until these individuals were probably

infected in starting to show signs of the affection that of another 6 or 8 days until they got really sick they would then spread it on to others now as young people they're less likely to have symptoms so as they bring that home to their parents and elders you would expect roughly get 21 day timeline and that's what we're seeing in terms of states opening up you look at georgia and alabama louisiana all those states have big increases now that they've opened up in an unscientific way massachusetts connecticut here in vermont very smart governors done scientifically you see less of it but here the dynamics in these presentations you know we now know that you spread the virus through talking the droplets come out so if you yell if you're breathing hard if you tear up because you've been hit by pepper spray you get hit by tear gas all of those inside more virus to come out then you have people being helped penned in by the police and a very tight spaces and then they're put in paddy wagons as we call them here taken

off to jail put in close close quarters so expect in 2 or 3 weeks to see big spikes big outbreaks across the country and most importantly nic you know we did not go up and come all the way down to 0 like the chinese didn't move and we come up we come here we're at a platform we're on a platform to be able to increase again and what i expect you're going to see is the will become much more like sweden where the death rate is going to go up we already see that in louisiana today where there overwhelming the hospitals in terms of numbers of deaths but i don't think there's any turning back in terms of actually closing the country down again i just think we're going to pay a very very heavy price and this kind of demonstrates the depth of the problem of the police perhaps what's happening here is that people are deciding that the risk from police brutality is. a sin the risk of getting in fact to release it's worth that risk. so nick it's a fascinating calculus that is if you're an african-american here in the united

states you say what's my risk of getting killed that or if you're a man a minority in dozens of companies countries around the world at risk of police brutality where is your risk would you rather demonstrate now against the risk that you know your son or daughter is the victim of police brutality or you are and i think for many people the calculus is that they want to demonstrate because they realize their long term risk is from police brutality and not from cove it and i think it's very interesting you know you look for instance in the kingdom where i think there's much more deescalation in terms of confrontation one of your correspondents had a great remark there which is that you know many of these u.s. police forces that they they escalate rather than deescalating and they're rethinking police forces now the maybe you need more community officials you need more ways to be in we gauge the community in this whole uproot out he has come out i mean it's a demonstration against brutality but what i would say we've seen more police brutality than we've ever seen before so interesting calculus of course the african-americans here in the united states are much higher risk of death from

coven so they're really taking a double risk here by protest protesting rightfully against the police brutality that they suffered from for decades if not centuries versus the risk of code which poses you know particular problems from then so right area just in time i would predict that you are going to see you know big outbreaks as you have in the southeast one would imagine that the health officials in hospitals and so forth were very much aware of the risk of this enough perhaps bracing themselves for a surge in cases. well they are so now you have an outbreak right here in vermont city called wineskin there are 38 cases there now they're out they can louisiana so great map in the new york times just the last day or so you see all across the southeast it's like all yellow all starting to kind of gin up again in big outbreaks here and there but will happen is you know smart states are going to have contact case tracing well they'll find that case will track them down to try and stop these outbreaks some of these outbreaks we come uncontrollable and

with these super spreader events in cities you know the very densely crowded cities like new york and washington chicago and you can expect that you really are going to supersede these cities and see a tremendous amount more infection and with that the real brunt of it's going to be on the health care system where you're going to see many more patients on ventilators and many more patients die but unfortunately an acceptable calculus i think to the government here that they want to get the country up and going and will increase our death rate but those poor individuals will be sacrificed for the economy. is a bubble and it's a troubling fork us isn't it but we do appreciate your views and your expertise on the thanks very much and. thank you so much the great questions really appreciate it great seeing you again. more still ahead on the news hour including hundreds protest in israel over the government's an exemption plans for the occupied west bank.

all right then libya's u.n. recognized government is pressing on with an offensive to reclaim territory from warlord 25 to entering his stronghold city of the government has rejected a cease fire plan put forward by have to off to talks with his egyptian allies those jabari as this report. proposing a peace deal in cairo egypt's president abdel fattah sisi was warlord khalifa haftar whose 14 month offensive to capture the libyan capital tripoli collapsed this week and i'm saying it is time for a ceasefire and all foreign fighters to leave come out ahead of him about a lot of money the initiative aims to guarantee a fair representation of libya's 3 provinces and a presidential council elected by the people under the supervision of the united nations to manage libya's leadership for the 1st time in the country's history but in tripoli the un recognized government commanders said they don't recognize the

cease fire and they'll continue to in their words liberate our land the context of what has just been reported about military advancements in the last week the series of defeats that have suffered the over the last 2 months and it's practical exit right now. from the west of libya suggests that in fact the cairo initiative or because i don't like liberation of what it was called is more about trying to salvage what remains of office project trying to protect what remains of his military forces in the east after us forces have suffered significant setbacks in recent weeks losing control of more towns on saturday including bani walid as government of national accord forces continue to drive have to use fighters from western libya moloch but we're not after announcing full control of the capital tripoli and recapturing have to our strong called city of tarhouni on friday. jna

forces are now gearing up for an offensive to recapture the city of sirte another half to our stronghold and hometown of libya's former leader moammar gadhafi and one of the new committee put it back in cairo after explained his reasons for the ceasefire. in the fight against terrorism and criminal militias we will expel the mercenaries from libya so we can achieve the hopes and aspirations of the libyan people to have a new day of prosperity this will reflect positively on neighboring countries and to the region as a whole while saturday's focus was on peace talks in cairo in libya this was the scene following an airstrike near al jazeera as live camera position in a brain just south of misrata another reminder that a lasting peace appears far from reach in this oil rich country dorset pari al jazeera. a let's hear now from jason patric who's a nonresident fellow at the middle east institute and founder of libya analysis

which is a libyan affairs consultancy he says the cease fire initiative is pointless. the war for tripoli is completely over that's been checkmated but the struggle for post office succession continues so the ceasefire talk in cairo is irrelevant it's a ruse to detract media attention of course when you're on the back foot and losing militarily a ceasefire would be very convenient to stop the bleeding but no one on the ground is paying attention to that and they're pushing the advantage sort will fall very soon and most interestingly is turkish frigates are on their way to the oil crescent to rosslyn oof and we are seeing essentially a very fluid movement and we don't know where it will end final analysis of what plays out in libya will be decided in regional and international capitals but because both libyan coalitions don't answer to a given person another it's haftar doesn't control the l.n. answer doesn't control the g.n.a.s. mind forces it's not as it if

a decision made abroad can be enforced through those commanders think we're going to have to settle militarily and until that point talk of cease fires or distractions now there is melich trainer is on the highway leading to the city of sirte and has the latest on the government's offensive. we are now in the town of evergreen evergreen is the area where d.n.a. forces have positioned themselves since forces loyal to the warlord khalifa haftar took control of the city of sirte in january now this this location today has seen multiple airstrikes by have to still styled libyan national army. there were a few casualties to the g.n.a.t. forces and they have continued on earlier today the suit commander launched an operation or announced an operation to take control of sirte and those and as well and. now this is the road here that leads into suit gini forces

today began to make an advance they are now in the western gates of sirte. it is not clear whether they will be stane inserted and continuing on or if they will pull out as the sun sets and it gets dark the forces here tell me that they want to continue on after stewart thirty's very strategic it is based in central libya and. it's this comes after forces that position themselves there are some say to keep a position of power of position in impossible negotiations this will be a major setback after have to have lost several cities in western libya to this earth will be a major setback in any possible peace talks in the future. lebanese security forces have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at anti-government protesters in beirut

hundreds of people were rallying against the government's handling of lebanon's worst economic crisis in decades said huldah as this report i a society torn apart i love been on is in turmoil i deepening economic crisis further impoverishing a nation locked in a political power struggle supporters of the ruling alliance faced off with anti-government demonstrators in central beirut. this main artery lebanon's capital has been a frontline since october when the protest movement began against the sectarian political class which has ruled for decades the army and the security forces they are trying to keep the people apart the divide is deep and the tensions are high on this side are those who want to new leadership accusing the ruling elite of corruption that run the country's economy into the ground those on the other side are defending the status quo political party using. it

who. needs. the quiet oneself that of the people they still are using those needs politically to achieve their goals. protesters are growing frustrated as unemployment and inflation rise as the government think oh she's with the international monetary fund for a bailout they tried to storm the nearby parliament building but were prevented by security forces saturday's call for action was an attempt to revive with many here called a revolution after weeks of lockdown due to the coronavirus pollution areas themselves are here because they want better living conditions so for me and now it is by far more important to find a plan for the canonical prices to find a balance for the electricity prices some traditional parties opposed to the ruling alliance are calling for early elections and their supporters are. now on the streets they deny they are exploiting the movement to shift the balance of power in

their favor over party have been participating in this river aleutian since day one and our party was in the opposition since since 5 years ago so we there's nothing new for us we are still in the same place we are still fighting for the same principles the movement which brought together sects which spoke in one voice and carried one flag the lebanese flag appears to be losing momentum those who returned to protest work feel national unity was not revive today instead deep divisions and sectarian tensions resurfaced center for their beirut thousands of people have been detained during protests in cuz it stuns largest city of almaty it is the 1st anti-government demonstrations since lockdown instructions were relaxed protest as they're demanding full relief for people affected by the lockdown several others spoke out against china's economic expansion in the country last month kazakhstan passed a new law or on demonstrations which will thora to say is in line with international

standards. still ahead here on al-jazeera australians take heart and black lives massive protests across the country also raising the spotlight on racial injustice at home. coronavirus fall and why tens of thousands of make a being cold in the netherlands. hello the weather story in the u.s. in the next 3 or 4 days is going to be this cloud here which is the front page of a tropical cyclone cristobal now its main story is going to be the amount of rain it's fairly slow moving although it will be fairly windy the rain itself is going to cause the problem plus a storm surge all along marco gulf coast from louisiana to florida panhandle now

beyond that is fairly quiet at the moment the rain that's coming in on the canadians other boards obvious but in the u.s. it's the mountain states or down to ward's california towards san francisco and it moves inland during monday at the same time we'll be talking about the matter of rains falling in the flat states around the mississippi because it will be a lot and still a storm surge of course to follow because the onshore breeze does tend to pick up the water hence the warnings so this drop science at the moment krista bows just left the shows the yucatan is rebuilding itself and becoming rather more strong because flooding sense of flooding throughout your town mexico really and it's brother is cousin the same in el salvador as you can see much better picture for central america it's a few showers and no more than that all the energy has gone up north with cristobal .

a controversial approach i am not an idealogue let me be absolutely clear to democracy and international development the old ways doesn't cut inequality in fact the increase i was from a bestselling author and distinguished global economist you don't advocate for greed i should rely on it i sure do many times as part of having read my blog just how many women might know i'm married i'll get us already has san goes head to head we've done be somewhere i've been accused of being crazy i'm not in fact going to be on al-jazeera. one half scottish and half lebanese some diversity is really important to me and al-jazeera is the most diverse place i've ever worked we have so many different nationalities and this is a nice group together in this one news organization and this diversity of perspective is reflected in our coverage giving a more accurate representation of the world we report on and that's a key strength of al-jazeera.

again you're watching al-jazeera remind about top stories this hour and tens of thousands of people are gathering in washington d.c. to make their voices heard of a police brutality in the united states as you can see it's peaceful lawsky peaceful demonstrations around. me and this one's thought to be the city's biggest since rallies began over the death of george floyd in minneapolis that was nearly 2 weeks ago now. a libya's un recognized government has launched an offensive to reclaim the strategic city of sirte which is a stronghold of the have to his forces the government also flatly rejected a cease fire agreement proposed by have to after talks in egypt and lebanese

security forces have fired tear gas at anti-government protesters in beirut hundreds have been out to lebanon's capital just to get into the economic crisis around 30 percent of the population out of work. so back to our top story and protests against police brutality and racial discrimination continuing to grow right across the united states is millions of people marched to demand reform it is a 12 consecutive day public anger sparked by the death of george floyd in minneapolis i think all day and has the day's developments across the u.s. . it happened all over in cities big and small new york philadelphia los angeles denver and all through the nation's capital washington d.c. awash with peaceful protests while the us president stayed mostly silent inside a heavily fortified white house the protesters filled the streets outside demanding

change someone has to do something about that it can't be that we're just dying out here and no one's doing anything about that all we get our promises and promises and nothing ever changes but i want my children to see that in america we can go out and we can do things like this we can we can show that we support are the true equality our true constitutional values so i think it's a point for my kids to see it after decades of protest one time activists say this time seems different now brad is in this so many people across grows cold in rages and sexual orientation there are people out there you know black people too long to be had to bear the burden alone but police are protesting as well in buffalo new york the 2 officers who did this shoving a peaceful 75 year old man to the pavement seriously injuring him have been arrested on felony assault charges fellow officers showed up at the courthouse to protest their arrests still this is a massive call for change at least one governor says it's coming legislation is

going to come back next week we have the say their name and gender transparency of prior disciplinary actions for police officers the $58.00 bill no choko across the united states they braved the risks of a pandemic to send the united message there can be no more who meet the same painful and as george boyd all while his family remembered him with a funeral in his north carolina town where he was born and a nation shouted out his. political hand al-jazeera. where there was tension between police and protesters in london. they tried to march on downing street which is the home of the british prime minister of course a place of reigate demonstrates is trying to push them back earlier in the day thousands gathered in the center of the city ignoring government advice against large gatherings jenna hall followed the protests through london. pretty substantial process protest this has been in london by some counts 10000 people certainly several 1000 people many of them still here in parliament square

protesting in solidarity of course with the events happening in the united states but not exclusively about those events also about events here in this country institutional racism police brutality is the sort of thing that affects the lives of the people in this crowd every day taking the opportunity now to have their voices heard and the sort of messages we're seeing on the streets here look at some of these banners no justice no peace black lives have always mattered silence is betrayal and black lives are worth more than a number thanks very much guys and over here you can see strung up on the statue of abraham lincoln on the edge of parliament square racism is a pandemic to as i said it's not just about the united states here it is about the lives of people in this in the united kingdom about the way policing is conducted here it's easy long it's been years decades centuries can't injustice and things just need to change the entire time that i think what's really cared is that it's

bringing people together and having on the stations and talking about what everyone can do in all communities in all racial backgrounds and the more you talk the more that action can be taken and of course it's not just the political element it's not just about police brutality there are additional concerns as well about coronavirus about the spread of covert $95.00 in these enormous crowds and senior politicians and health officials had urged people indeed not to come out at all at this process and to be a protest and they've been a rolling series of these protests through the week and they may well go on and they had urged people if you do come up please respect social distancing rules where there's been very little social distancing going on here albeit most people are wearing masks it does rather feel as if the need that people have to be heard in these circumstances outweighs their fear of contracting the virus. all sorts of people have been speaking out including the heavyweight boxing champion anthony joshua who spoke out at a protest in his hometown of what food in the u.k.

he called on communities to stop the spread of racism we could no longer from today would be proud we could no longer sit back or remain silent on the senseless. slaughter i raise them over not be a based only on what is going color we need to speak our demonstrations just like the days the world. inject the vaccine we must not use it. and turn it into a riot. we need to be united not violent demonstration where. spending your money and. our. and anti racism protests have also been held in cities across france. in paris thousands defied bans against demonstrations due to coronavirus many called justice for adam troll the son of a mali an immigrant who died in french police custody 4 years ago protests also
