it was the impact of climate change and a catastrophic human error. in senegal sinking villages. taking the need for racial justice black lives matter protests continue in the u.s. as donald trump orders the national guard to leave washington. and demonstrators in britain topple the statue of a 17th century slave trader with a message that the u.k. is not innocence. is not 0 live from london i'm terry navigate also ahead protests erupt against

brazil's president over after the government stops telling people how many have died from corona virus and we visit the world's largest fruit and vegetable markets and meet my needs aren't fighting to prevent an outbreak. thanks for joining us the national guard is pulling out of washington d.c. nearly 2 weeks after the death of george floyd sparked rallies and cries for justice right across the u.s. president donald trump who once ordered troops to dominate the streets and stop violent protests now says the forces are no longer needed but demonstrations have continued with thousands of peaceful protesters vowing to keep up the message that black lives matter cross over to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett and we've been hearing from the attorney general what does he have to say. well he has

been defending the trumpet ministrations response specifically when it comes to what the mayor of d.c. is called a militarize ation of washington d.c. streets of well you're right he's tweeted that he's now telling the national guard or citizen soldiers that they can go there is still push back to the action that was taken outside lafayette park on monday protesters say they were peaceful but they were had tear gas used on the something the administration is disputing also disputing that there was a show of force in fact the attorney general saying that the protesters were warned 3 times and only then did the horseback mounted police then move in but he was also asked about systemic racism in policing he denied that it's a problem. i think it's racism in the united states still but i don't think that the law enforcement system is systemically waist high in the stands or the distrust however if you forget american community given the history of this country. i think

we have to recognize that for most of our history our institutions were explicitly racist here coals for police reform are gaining momentum across the u.s. and now we know congress is planning to take up some new legislation on the issue. now the house of representatives controlled by democrats not wanting to lose this momentum of the nationwide protests trying to translate that into action at the congressional level to address policing practices for at least the federal law enforcement they are unveiling legislation on monday that would seek to end things like racial profiling the practice of chokeholds during summer rast also to try and boost accountability out of the police force even having something called qualified immunity that basically sort of shelters the police when it comes to lawsuits in civil court so these are all steps they say are in the right direction this is

a long legislative process this will be the 1st step on wednesday will in fact we'll have a hearing on some of this legislation that will include the brother of george floyd testifying about his very personal experiences with policing in minnesota of course george floyd that video really is what sparked all of this the fact that he was on the ground with the police officers neck on his knee his family saying that that is ultimately what killed him but it is important to point out this only addresses federal policing i have to sort of bring back the argument made by barack obama earlier in the week that when it comes to the local level were a lot of these allegations occur that that will involve people getting out to the ballot box in november to make sure that sheriffs prosecutors and police chiefs are elected that reflect the practices and the beliefs of the people that have been marching across the united states are i can really frank you with us our white house correspondent thank you very much well new york city has lifted its curfew

ahead of schedule after it was imposed to stem protests against police brutality the city's mayor says he hopes it's the last time it will ever be needed so let's bring in chris salumi she's joining us from new york where protesters seem to be on the move kristen. the demonstrators continue to come. out in force we've seen all day thousands taking to the streets like what we're seeing behind me here the tapping here in manhattan that's happening in brooklyn and rallies and parks all over the city. you notice behind me some of the stores are still boarded up from what happened a few nights ago some looting the last few nights have been very peaceful and we've seen some victories for the demonstrators as well with. the mare and the governor and now and seeing steps towards police reform that they are valid to take in the wake of this outpouring of support i should also point out that as we've been going through the city streets people have been cheering honking their horns. winding up

taking pictures and showing support for what's going on here and clearly these local leaders are hearing the call for reforms we've had the mayor roll back that curfew that was in place that's a major concession to the demonstrators who are staying out past it anyway he's also talked about. taking money from the police department putting it into social programs again something that the demonstrators have been calling for doing so lots of positivity lots of energy on the streets as the city moves into what is supposed to be its day one phase one reopening from the coronavirus technically the city is still under so-called lockdown not supposed to be lifted starting tomorrow there is some concern that corona virus. infections make it may start rising again as a result of all of the people out in crowds and so on they're increasing testing in manhattan to address that but as you can see right now demonstrators are showing no

signs of stopping they're vowing to keep going until they get the changes they want all right christine thank you very much for that update from new york. well the mayor of minneapolis that's where george floyd was killed has been booed by a crowd of protesters and told to go home. so protesters were angered after jacob fray refused to withdraw financial support from the city's police department in the wake of floyd's death for a told the crowd that he could not support the call to defund the police but favors reforms instead he was met with a chorus of boos this you can see in chance of shame. all chance for racial justice are spreading across europe with rallies held in cities from madrid to rome in the u.k. protesters towards on a statue if a 17th century slave trader and tossed it into a river many activists want their governments to know that their message is not

just meant for american eyes and the baba reports. by 5 marching to the american embassy but demanding change at home the protest in london was the latest of many across the u.k. that have echoed events in the united states but demonstrators a clear that there are huge challenges facing their own country my people think the case in this and you. know it's all that happens here every day people don't speak about it but finally before speaking up people started to know by this current moment in time the black lives are being largely affected were 1st police brutality were 1st introduced lies racism and people are here to fight to say no more before the weekend britain's home secretary said people should not be attending protests because of the risk of spreading covered 19. or 20 who wore mosques physical distancing wasn't always possible but for many the importance of making a stand outweighed any fears there's been

a series of protests here inspired by the killing of george floyd in the u.s. but bringing in grievances specific to britain as well and they're part of a trend that spread right across europe now in italy they gathered for an impromptu protest in rome taking in the for nearly 9 minutes the same length of time a white police officer had his knee on george floyd's name. there was also a large anti racism demonstration in the spanish capital madrid i believe the one i yelled at this time for introducing this is about racism which i think is institutional and structural and we have to protest against it this was one more case that shows that the system damages a minority and because we are not protesting every day does not mean it doesn't exist. back in britain they pulled down a statue of a 17th century slave trader in the city of bristol one common demand on recent protests is better education about black history.

as people continue to take to the streets across europe discussions of which many people feel. well police are holding back protesters outside government offices in the center of london right now scores of officers as you can see have blocked the famous arches on whitehall and some protesters are trying to push their way through objects have been thrown at the police many of whom are wearing riot gear and they're carrying batons least one person has been taken away by police. more than 400000 people have now died across the world from corona virus and despite national lockdowns and corn seen orders the infection counts is nearing

7000000 almost 2000000 of those cases have been recorded in the u.s. with the death toll crossing 110000 that's the highest in the world despite this president trump has declared his response to the pandemic a success next comes the u.k. with more than 40000 fatalities 77 were reported on sunday the lowest daily figure since the lockdown began and the 3rd highest number of coronavirus deaths at almost 36000 has been recorded in brazil president joe you're both scenarios government has stopped publishing a running total of deaths on infections and critics are saying it's an attempt to hide the true toll of the disease while thousands of protesters are gathering in brazil's major cities over the president's response to the virus demonstrators are also angry about the hundreds of black people killed by police mainly in the favelas of rio de janeiro some protestors were holding cards reading bloc lives matter in solidarity with rallies worldwide over the killing of george floyd's

let's get an update our lead america editor on the sea of newman is joining us from santiago keeping an eye out on the situation in brazil and why are we expecting so many people to come outs in brazil despite that very high contagion rates. hello daryn ever since the cold the epidemic began or rather the pandemic began in brazil it was really only the supporters of president who were going out on the streets albeit in small numbers and the president himself by the way without social distancing without wearing a face mask but now his detractors his opponents are saying that enough is enough that they're not going to stay quiet any longer for a number of reasons 2 of which you've already mentioned his own handling or lack of leadership his critics say on the cole that 19 pandemic at least or nearly 1500 people died just yesterday in brazil from 19 and the numbers are

expected to keep increasing at the same time you have a very very steep economic recession and there are people who are asking for help and who believe they are not getting it and finally the way the president has been fighting with the supreme court which some would argue has turned into the only independent institution at this moment there are several investigations out now against his own sons and against the president himself who's been accused. by opponents who have put in impeachment requests for his handling of the epidemic also for his handling of his financial or alleged improprieties dealing with the police and other investigations the list is quite long but the point is that the president has said he will not a bay the supreme court and that could lead to a very very strong confrontation between these 2 democratic institutions and he has the army apparently on his side there is now an unprecedented number of retired

members of the military inside his cabinet now dealing with it with civilian jobs that normally would not go to people in the military and that includes the health ministry people with a lot of. a lot of. experience in things like handling troops but not in medicine right so having said that lucio how serious is the threat then to the country's democratic institutions. well that's precisely the point that many people believe that it is moving very very rapidly towards a confrontation between the executive branch and the other 2 branches particularly the judicial and then push comes to shove the president might be tempted to call in the military it has happened in the past in brazil the head of the of the active military has not pronounced himself one way or the other he's not sided either with the president or with the supreme court but there are many people in brazil who

think that a military intervention of sorts like what we saw in prove many years ago with president fouquet modi who shot down congress and the supreme court could be in the cards for brazil unless people go out on the streets and really show that they're against that and that's why people are beginning to go out on the streets in large numbers despite the dangers from the pandemic the right to see a thank you for that update from santiago. still ahead on al-jazeera rigorous standard fact if china defends its actions in containing the coronavirus and that make shops and businesses looted after government forces retaking libyan towns details right after the break. how the flood wrist sits on sunday was in northern italy is still in northern italy
