a memorial service in north carolina where george floyd was born people waited in long lines outside the church to pay their respects i've seen what's going on in this country and though my family has been said by the news this is just an allergic reaction to an ongoing issue in the united states just like the koran about reese police brutality has yet to be found a cure is a difficult time for us oh and we must all come together and come to the front lines to protect each other. these images associated with this will affect all of our lives for the rest of our lives meanwhile the cities of seattle denver and portland of introduce strict rules for police using tear gas against protesters and this comes a day off to new york state california and minneapolis announce policy changes in the 2 buffalo police officer was suspended for pushing a 75 year old protested to the ground on thursday leaving him with critical injuries have been charged with felony assault both have pleaded not guilty and

let's bring in shepparton he is live for us in washington d.c. and she had huge crowds as we saw a lot of the city george floyd's death as it creates this kind of national reckoning isn't it. about the how we've seen protests in the past and not on this scale which are followed police brutality moments of police brutality and nothing's really happened different this time is just how widespread it is and how specific some of the proposals are it's not just you know the police shouldn't be doing this it's defund the police it's put the money elsewhere and so it is fascinating it is deafening winding down here in d.c. so they tens of thousands on the streets but all day trying to spin in the white house behind the new 8 foot wall and miles of fencing that were put up some of our actually comparing it to the green zone in baghdad. but he's been really quiet and then just of the 3 out as he made the tweets just 3 words law and order exclamation

mark that's it and that suggests that there is another part of america that is doing this very different than donald trump thinks he can speak to them it's all very well everyone on the street so many people in the streets but he still sticking to his former electoral success his father will christian evangelicals of the of the elderly and of white suburban women who he thinks of really unnerved by this that they once you'll and older as he puts it in fact the trump campaign has just released this a few hours ago as well a campaign that campaigning on this is well liberal thugs are destroying our streets restore law and order president trouble to input by midnight and then this is a link so that bad trying to fundraise to be as his poll numbers go down elsewhere he needs his is a central essential fly will and we're learning more about what donald trump had once it at the beginning of the week it's now being reported he had almost 10000

troops 10000 members of the military to be deployed around the country to be on the streets to police to police all these demonstrations and the defense establishment as we've seen rather publicly and said no and actually as a result we haven't seen any real presence on the streets of a sense really that some ways over the last few days anyway and as always we should be very clear about this the military is fine with the police thing the tries and all the plans are going to go up and they just don't want to be seen to be associated with what donald trump is doing and there will still a strict rules about when the military should intervene in civilian life so there are 2 stories. but clearly those here demanding that the change and hoping that the majority of the american people are with them and not with the trump base and say he is she had to stay in the reform and change that people are calling for is it even possible. well there does seem to be a fundamental misunderstanding perhaps and that's why these discussions are important for example you know where all i'm that mural that the man the man has

painted had painted in front of the white house black lives about and she's basking in social media adulation now as a great champion of feedback lives matter cause but that is an amazing bit of sleight of hand because when black lives matter talk about police departments they're not talking about donald trump on the federal government that talking about municipal power a man is like man bows are just why black lives matter in d.c. sad this is most of this is before much of destruction with their words and it goes down very well amazing to sleight of hand but that main quarrel is with my about he's not being sold office is great champion of black lives matter it's mad bows or who has the purse strings of the police force it's man about who is accused by black lives matter of shielding police officers who kill african-americans and in fact they just budget is once again diverting money of millions of dollars away from social services social programs to music housing and pouring it into the

police force and that is when you see these defund the police science which is one of the specific things that we're saying around here what they're saying is to may is the president trump but the man is something has to change if you can invest in communities take the money out of the police maybe even no longer use the police for many day to day activities because they just turn up with an immense amounts of military equipment and i'm going to deploy the latest weaponry you need social workers you need mental health professionals you need to invest in communities so there isn't so much inequality in the 1st place that needs to be policed you know there isn't a community that needs to be kept down by the you know by the more affluent parts of society that's how we should be looking at things and that's the may is drawn so president trumps all right she had to leave that one thanks very much as she had her times reporting there from washington d.c. where things are now winding down and let's head now from the touchy good name who's got more from a protest march in minneapolis that's the city where george floyd died and she says

police reforms are already being put in place that. coq olds and restraints 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 authorized force the minnesota department of human rights is continuing its investigation into the department on the legal fronts on monday 44 year old children a 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 or we are going to speak no

truth in jus a mackerras who's a strategist with the movement for black lives and she joins us. from new york than jus a welcome to the program this phrase that's become the kind of rallying cry of the protest defun the police tell us what does it actually mean. well 1st thanks for having me and. a lot of respect and love for many people who are supporting people protesting across the country what defun police means and what it says for us is there is no reform there is no training there is no thing that can happen within the police department in minneapolis or across the country that will end police violence and police brutality the only way to do that is to defund the police and reinvest those dollars in actual needs of the community as well as alternatives and so that's what define police means to us it's the only

way to finally end police violence and in our country is to limit the power and the scope of the police and their ability to come into contact with our people and to finally get our communities what they need quality housing quality health care quality education 100000000000 dollars goes to the police 100000000000 we need that money to actually make sure that our people have what they need to feed their families to go to quality schools and have quality homes $100000000000.00 a year is an extraordinary amount of money is that a big community is still need a police force that. i don't think communities need a police force what communities need is access to safety the way we've seen policing happen in in this country since its inception has not allowed communities to feel safe is certainly has a lot of my community feel say well we actually need is infrastructure so that communities that have access intervention and safety i pose the question that i was posed to many people of don't do we need

a police force is what i do not feel comfortable many people are going to do not to come calling the police if there is an emergency what we're offering here is opportunity to reimagine was safety could be in our country we know people need back response we know people need access to emergency responses and we need to build it in unison tallies across the country but it can't look like or be what we currently have because what it's what it's offering is more death more violence and more instances where it's putting so many of our people in. cages with prisons in every city in every state across the country ok so what sort of people kind of personnel would attend imagine the situations and the variety that they're all. well the good thing this is that this is been tested and folks have been attempting to try to have all test alternatives across the country what we need is social workers what we need is people that you have experience with intervention on

various different forms whether it's domestic violence or interpersonal or if there is sort of some kind of incident within a community but those people are a range of different types of people people that experience with domestic violence intervention people that are social workers and then can give people the care that they actually need as opposed to only coming to to a site with a gun and being able to charge someone said them to jail that is just not is not giving our people what they need and so what we're what we're saying for so many people across the country and the world is that there is a way that we can have safety for our communities there are people who are trained across the country to offer care and that we need to create the kind of infrastructure so they can do that and primarily one of them is social workers it is people who are already deep rooted within our communities that are able to sort of think about how not just how to intervene but also to offer terror and i think now more than ever we have to not just commit to defunding the police but really commit to building in resourcing the infrastructures for alternative alternatives

but you can see how the code will kick in many cases perhaps most cases but there are certain situations for instance say an ongoing bank robbery or a drug bust where you need police that you. well there's going to be certain cases and one that i don't want to say or communicate is that we don't live in a violent society or a violent country i think violence happens all the time and i do think that there are ways in which we're going to need to figure out in moments of heightened violence and where we need to have a certain kind of intervention what that intervention is going to look like in order to make sure that people are safe and that a certain incident can be interrupted in that ultimately resolved i think there's a range of incidences that we're going to need to hear what actually provide infrastructure to guarantee safety i think what we're saying is that the police only have the police responding to all incidences with the same sort of tactic and

resolution is insufficient we need people at all levels of society need community leaders need elected officials need many people to come together and reimagine how to keep people safe and the truth is we're going to have to take into consideration a number of different a number of different concerns and factors and i think that we can do it but the truth is policing as we know it is just not allowing our people to have access and see you know we need we need to build something new only to build it together and i believe that we can enjoy mackerras we do appreciate you and thank you for giving us such clarity on that the demands of the protests and sounds very much indeed thank you now there are concerns about a corona virus is spreading further in the united states following the mass protests of what's already there was hit nation from the pandemic thought to bubble and out who's a former chief medical correspondent for n.b.c. news explains the risks of taking to the streets. 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 could hit by tear gas all of those unsightly more virus to come out then you have people being helped penned in by the police in a very tight spaces and then they're put in into paddy wagons as we call them here taken off to jail put in close close quarters so expect in 2 to 3 weeks to see big spikes big outbreaks across the country and most importantly nick you know and we did not go up and come all the way down to 0 like the chinese did and wouldn't 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 it will become much more like sweden where the death rates going to go up we already see that in louisiana today where they're 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 but plenty more still ahead on the news hour including

a 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. quiet months off that of the people they still are using those needs. politically to achieve their goals. the protesters are growing frustrated as unemployment and inflation rise as the government negotiates 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

a 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 now it is by far more important to find a plan for the canonical prices to find a plan for the electricity crisis some traditional parties opposed to the ruling alliance are calling for early elections and their supporters are now on the streets they deny it they are exploiting the movement to shift the balance of power in their favor or party have been participating in this revolution since day one and our party was in the opposition scene 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 were few national unity was not revive today instead of deep divisions
