will the presidential candidates ever hit the road and so their brand of politics to americans before the. follow the u.s. election just. al-jazeera. i'm richelle carey this is the news hour lifetime toha coming up in the next 60 minutes protesting for a change thousands of people march along l.a.'s hollywood boulevard over police brutality. calls growing to defund the police across the u.s. city of minneapolis pledges to create a new law enforcement system to root out racism. sex gradually reopens we look inside the world's largest fresh produce market in the army of workers trying to

prevent any further krone virus outbreaks and reading books as back and passion and more kids stay indoors. cross united states protesters are not back in town in their demand for police reform thousands of protesters are marching in los angeles as national guard troops pull out of the city. says live from los angeles and more on this crowd so rob this is been going on over a weekend the crowds seem to be getting bigger not smaller. yes if you look at these pictures it's just amazing really to see the numbers of people marching on hollywood boulevard the estimates are that there are about 20000 individuals who came out today sunday too to march and peacefully protest and want to emphasize

that these protests were peaceful. the people here in california have been taking to the streets more than 30 protest yesterday 'd a similar number of protests just today as well just in the southern california area and they're being creative not only marching and holding sit ins but there were bike caravans of protesters there have been row outs or paddle outs involving surfers and kayakers going out to sea to to gather and to protest there a very sort of uniquely californian way of protesting and as you mentioned richelle after several days noticing the or taking note in light of the peaceful nature of the protests the california national guard has announced that it will begin pulling its personnel off the streets of all california cities although no specific

timetable was announced so it's certainly same set the protests are working rob the mayor of los angeles mark i said he has announced that. the plan is to cut some funding from the police department and what that has to do with the protests the protesters have been saying that it is time to reform police departments across the country and some even want to completely defund the department so what does the mayor and los angeles and thing. well the mayor eric garcetti said that he's going to reallocate funding from the city's budget $250000000.00 to such programs as developing job initiatives among black and latino and other minority youth health centers in deprived areas. trauma centers or healing centers as he called it to to sort of help people deal

with trauma and of that 2c5xw1c5xw is coming out of the police budget this really runs completely counter to the conventional wisdom and political thrust in california and in many other cities over decades it's always been a simple equation more police equals a safer city that's been turned on its head now and the mayor just as recently as april announcing his budget said he was going to call for a 7 percent increase in police funding the police department in los angeles gets about $2000000000.00 out of the city budget and it's nearly half or more than half in some cases of the entire city budget so the mayor had the support of members of the city council and of the police commissioner so it looks as if that's going to happen however

a lot of pushback from the police union where the spokesman say they're saying their city has lost his mind in actually using somewhat more colorful language than that richelle oh dear so yes this is going to be a battle for sure auburn all 5 in los angeles rob thank you. now the city or george floyd died is now promising to dismantle the police force has more. a movement that shows no signs of abating across the united states another day of massive crowds demanding police reform and it appears in some places getting what they want in minneapolis where the killing of george bush and unarmed african-american sparked the protests the city council have pledged to disband the police department and try to figure out a new form of police seem our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the media outlets of police departments to leave things as we wait and wait

for you to. actually. face. a new york city's mayor says he's focusing on the funding we will be moving funding from the n.y.p.d. to use initiatives and social services he didn't say how much but it is the latest sign that the demand to defund the police is gaining traction at least for democratic leaders the trump administration is defending the heavy police presence and its handling of mostly peaceful protests are here and there doesn't need to be widespread change i don't think you need to reduce the munity to to go a step backwards because that would result certainly in police pulling back i do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with law enforcement officers across this country do i knowledge that there are some law enforcement officers that abuse their job yes and again we need to hold those accountable u.s. president donald trump is mocking the idea on twitter where he also announced the national guard troops he sent into washington d.c.

will be returning home something in the d.c. mer has been calling for and the president is facing more criticism from leading republicans with reports former president george bush won't vote for him neither will mitt romney who took part in the protests. we need a voice against racism we did many voices against racism and against your talent and you stand up and say the black lives matter and former top military leaders are also openly criticizing the president this is a moment as i said of moral clarity i think is very clear in the future whether we want to unify the country in a political division and in the political division that has existed now for years or whether we want to continue to divide the country that is the choice that the american people have in front of them in the very near future on the streets. with many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election.

tonsil now joins us live from washington d.c. . but throughout the day the crowds were as large as ever there were thousands on the streets on. the protests. today but they don't seem to be a regular part of people's routine so to me 'd 5 o'clock we'll see whether that continues into the into next week just to pick up their old up points a lot of support in patty's package this idea of national unity of a time to come together we're being told that donald trump and his advisors are actively considering some sort of address to the nation to address race. fascinating possibilities for making a nationwide address perhaps sometime this week about race that is going to be discussed so. if you does do that one wonders what effect that will have all the

protests well. she had been talking to the protesters throughout the day what have they been saying to you about how you know there's been a lot of symbolism people that make it seem like the message is getting through what what are you hearing from them what are their their concerns. it's that fine balance is a real debate now the whole point of this is to change people's so when mitt romney for example joins a black lives. it's good right i mean mitt romney a republican is saying black lives matter that's the point of raising people's awareness saying. making people realize that things need to change having said that it hasn't gone unnoticed that people like mitt romney are saying black lives matter and using that as just when in fact the slogan has shifted the new slogan is defund

the police we don't know what mitt romney's position is on that and there is always that fine balance as to whether. it's meaning which means obviously everyone hates racism but what how do you dismantle structural racism how do you go about it the need to do that and that's why we've moved as we have. the streets we've moved from black. to defund the police written by matter d.c. we've had a man who says that she is going to keep this as a death to to the black. having said that she there's no sign that she has any intention of defunding the police she's the she's proposing of millions of millions of dollars in the next budget for the police while cutting social programs when she starts which actually starts deep thinking about defunding the police that we know that there's real change i think that's what's interesting about about this round of protests is that we're getting those benchmarks we're getting specific issues book since this isn't just about hating racism and the. incredible slide of how

that we're talking about over the last few days has attempted to switch the discussion to donald trump who doesn't have control over the police forces and but she's been asking and glory for black lives matter statement here but she's the one who has control over the police and local authorities like the one in minnesota is not saying enough this is a systemic problem it's not fit for purpose if the police feel that their job is to knock down protesters and they don't see that there's something wrong that we don't want people to do that job you know we have to we have to look for alternatives and see what does. the thing is what we've been given this time around there is specific criteria specific benchmark which will help us judge. our. live in washington thank you and a similar scene in new york city a person salome has been out among the protesters marching there. demonstrators continue to come out in force here in new york we've seen rallies and marches in

the streets of manhattan brooklyn all of the 5 boroughs throughout the weekend and on sunday morning the mayor announced that he was doing away with the curfew that was in place from other cities like chicago and los angeles also doing away with their purview says the demonstrations continue but continue to be largely peaceful and some victories for demonstrators as well as the mayor has announced some steps to. increase transparency in the police department has announced disciplinary action against officers caught on video tackling protesters he's promising to sift funding away from the police department into social service programs that could help communities in need all of that to say that the demonstrations are still showing no signs of backing down they're promising to keep things going even as new york city moves into the reopening phase after the coronavirus that shut it down

for nearly 2 months monday will be the 1st day when retail stores will be allowed to do curbside pick up manufacturing will start happening again and construction so there will be more people coming into the city more people working in the city even as demonstrators are promising to keep up their fight. as we reported earlier earlier minneapolis city council says it plans to dismantle its police force something people across the country have been calling for at least some activists who have long advocated to reinvest in place funding into other services in the wake of george ward's death support is blooming as campaigners say police reform has failed america's policing budget has almost tripled since 1977 to $115000000000.00 by a significant fall and violent crime and painter say that money. could be better spent on community services and some officials are responding to the call l.a.

mayor eric garcetti said he would cut up to $150000000.00 from the planned increase in funding to the l.a.p.d. new york's mayor has proposed a similar plan however others fear there could be a backlash and an increase in crime a recent survey said 65 percent oppose reducing police budgets where minneapolis were george floyd was killed was booed by a crowd of protesters and told to go home. so the protesters are upset because shaker for refused to withdraw financial support from the city's police department in the wake of floyd's death it's all the crowd he could not support the call to defund the police but he did favor reforms instead and as you can see they booed him and chanted shame tells a co-director of the liberty and national security program at the brennan center for justice says police funding can be spent with little accountability. police

i just have by and large been sacrosanct in many american cities right so not only are the announced that the increasing and time it where crime is going down but you also have a great deal of a pass to the iraqis that it's made me if you ever try to look at a police department i do that really only looked at the one you are mostly you know it's really hard to tell where the money's going and frankly where the mice coming from in some cases because they also get a lot of money from federal government so there's a lot of issues around you know police know jason patric they continue to rise or a time when if you don't mind it's going down at a time where you know many look how these are they saying you know huge budget deficits in the way to prove it 90 so all of these things i think is that who will last around this hall we didn't really need is that you know we think about how we

want to spend money as a city any city right we have to think about what we want to invest in and obviously you know. safety and security is a really important thing but there are ways of getting to. and simply finding a police force that is the old guns and butter debate right chance for racial justice or spreading across europe with rallies held in cities from madrid to spain and the u.k. protesters tore down a statue of a 17th century slave trader and tossed it into a river and the actress want our governments to know that their message is not just spent for american i reports in london. i much into the american embassy but demanding change at home the protests in london was the latest of many across the u.k. that have echoed events in the united states but demonstrate is a clear that there are huge challenges facing their own country and my people think the case in this and you. know it's all about what 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 will be largely affected were 1st police brutality were 1st introduced last 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. men 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

you're looking into do think 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. i. as people continue to take to the streets across europe discussions a starts in which many people feel alone. in the 0. storming government offices in the center of london scores of officers blocked the famous arches on whitehall some protesters were trying to push their way through

understand or convey the gravity of what the coronavirus could potentially do having said that what do you make of where these numbers are now. well if you're concerned about the numbers in brazil we have a substantial number of cases and unfortunately many past the way with this disease we are see that we need to to understand that brazil is a large country and we obviously have different waves of. virus spread throughout the country like. it's like looking at europe and you see italy has its own wave and then friends and then other countries. and same thing here the demick started in some paulo the the the port of entry for this fire is in them spread to different areas so we see different waves and they behave differently across the country and the other thing is the brazilian government is letting the

states deal with the it did them. on their own way therefore you see differences in 2 way you'd stay put together a plan to face this epidemic and that's actually something similar that's happened in the united states as well the difference the governors of different states or tech took control of how they wanted to handle it but that was also complicated by the message that they come from the white house by the their lack of a coherent national strategy could that have made a difference could it make a difference now if terrible does things like encourage testing instead of pulling away from testing things like that make a difference. but it does obviously so we see them different states and approach the epidemic in an different way the state of some pollo has increased the number of beds for severe cases prepared with a larger number of tests tests despite that was. below

the number needed we in the in our state to perform little bit better whereas some other states have. approached the matter differently. here in the state of some pollo the isolation was imposed by district governor in mid march early when the fires came in and that helped the state a lot whereas the amazons they delayed this decision and therefore the the they faced a much harder hit but he had the denecke here we had an excess of death 27.5 percent in the state of pa topper campbell north of brazil they phased to 175 percent. excess of death so each area has a different reality therefore we have different responses in the central government

has been through a turmoil in how to put their act together against this epidemic we hand 2 different minister of help and then we currently have an interim minister of health which does not have very much. how much worse could this get because of all the factors you just said that there is not really a coherent national plan and there's changing ministers well how much worse might this get. well again it's very hard to look at brazil as a single country you need to single it at them make you have different ways in the way its behavior can vary so the state of some paulo states a real janeiro in even the states more hard headed in north of brazil amazon and barbara they have they are seeing now a decline in the internet where there is

a contraction ne brazil is on the rise in in some states and midwest are also on the rise so we obviously going to see the numbers mounting in the next couple months i think we're going to have a substantial number of cases and deaths still we need also to realize the number of deaths usually increase behind the reggae the rise of of cases itself because after someone getting infected takes about what one to 2 weeks to get admitted to the hospital in one to 2 weeks for those severe cases to die therefore the numbers will will increase because we still document an increasing number of cases dr aspergillus thank you so much for joining us from south paulo thank you thank you china has rejected accusations that concealed information on

a war of words but an effort to restore the truth we have no interest in the so-called information war in the battle against covert 19 but we must respond when placing smears against china the national health commission says the government released the genome sequence for the virus early 5 clinical trials are now underway in china once approved the state council says it will share any corona virus vaccine internationally known as a jungle you may recall montana when the vaccine is ready will make it a global public good as promised at the 73rd w.h.o. meeting but a growing number of countries are calling for an international investigation into china's handling of the crime of ours critics to question the accuracy of the country's calculations of infections read must pay attention or pay and be cautious when we read about how those state level why that may be an official because we don't know that whether they have creatures are what happens. infections might be down to single digits in china but its economy is still being hit hard in my
