and then you start opening up things like night clubs socializing meeting in restaurants clubs bars clubs etc and pretending this is the important bit and pretending that it's all over let us resume because we need the economy to run unfortunately we get these huge number of new cases created we must accept that the virus is in circulation we must open the kaname but we must be very very careful why are we not doing this baffles me and i worry about the united states united kingdom europe and the rest of the world there has been a pressure from the economy side to open up and i feel for example the united kingdom opened up prematurely and i feel the health and the economy should run together which is we work together on how we open it safely rather than open it prematurely and unsafely. north korea has placed the city of kaesong under

anger of the presence of federal agents sent by president donald trump is not going dull the demonstrations which was sparked by the killing of george floyd have been going on now for more than 8 weeks you can see there some protesters wearing helmets are obviously prepared for whatever might come but let's bring in soldier almost who is a freelance journalist he joins us now via skype from portland surger you've been out in the thick of it just put a picture what's it been like there on the streets. you know the last few days you've seen thousands of people maybe 3 to 4000 people a large coalition of moms and helmets dads and hard hats last night we had a wall of veterans and. leaf blowers to blow back tear gas at the same time you know there's been so much tear gas expended the last few days that people are reporting the next day that they're feeling burns on their skin so while this is

happening in a very small part of portland and not even all of downtown it's just part of downtown what we're seeing in front of the federal courthouse is significant. just not apologize to some of our view is you might see some language on some of those signs that some viewers may find offensive this is live television. so as you know the federal agents as we've been saying is being sent to protect federal buildings and some of them have been accused of other stepping the mock what have you been seeing. yeah and the new york times today reported that stretching the legal limits there was one of my by lines you know the thing is that federal officers have always protected federal buildings and the federal protective service is in charge of the courthouse however the trumpeter ministration has sent certain tactical teams here to portland and now to other cities and what we saw last night for example and the night before was federal officers would declare an unlawful

assembly something that usually happens with local police and they would come out and clear the streets sometimes going a couple blocks up and you know on july 15th at 2 in the morning. a man named mark pettit boone says he was walking away from the protests a couple blocks away and a van came up to him with 4 men in camouflage jumped out said it's ok it's ok grabbed him and threw him into a van he was detained overnight and released without charges. he says he doesn't know which agency arrested him we now know that it was one of the 4 agencies u.s. marshals but a protective services customs and border patrol or ice is sort of a separate issue portland is a lot safer than it is connected portland is a majority white how does the black community feel about the demographic of the protest is i mean i've seen some concerns about the co-opting of the movement. well

it is very white it's one of the whitest big cities in america but what we've seen at these protests is a lot more people of color than usually see important protests and i've covered them for years here there are a lot more people of color and. while that's why the movement on this is not really organized by one group a lot of the people who are speaking and on the bullhorn are people of color now there is a diverse range of opinions within the black community here about the protests some don't like the the what was the vandalism and the throwing water bottles the police officers others say that that kind of thing has always been necessary because police will never allow you to be protest peacefully they will point to calling capper nick and say he wasn't harming anyone and still they rejected him but the thing is that the last few days you know last week and a half everything is changed the presence of federal officers has really changed the conversation here where there is very little there there is it's

a very minority opinion here at this point that if that that is still criticizing protesters the vast majority of criticism is now being levied against the trumpet ministration and these federal officers what is it about about portland's that has . a point. so you know portland has a history of activism and so some might say that's what it is you know it's unclear this city is is surrounded by very conservative rural voters very the trump base outside of portland oregon is a very liberal city and very democrat blue. and it's very very few people of color at the same time those because there are so few people of color i think that. they are more they're feeling the it's a more potent feeling of they feel when they see something like george floyd to

them because they they're very powerless in this and this in a city that made it you know they don't they're not majority of anything i think that might be one reason why they took the streets with a bit more. potency that then in other cities where it's a lot more diverse. thanks so much really appreciate your time says you're almost there a freelance journalist live from portland thanks so come here on al-jazeera. and the pros and russia's far east as protesters mount of rare talents to that have put in his presidency. and for the love of the game we'll tell you why it's kicking off a mexico despite coronavirus fads. there
