a very warm welcome to bbc news. my name's mike embley. the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world: a warning from president trump that he will deploy the army to end the widespread protests across the country triggered by the death in police custody of the unarmed african american, george floyd. ifa if a city or a state refuses to ta ke if a city or a state refuses to take the action necessary to defend the life and property of their residence, then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. in minneapolis, the official post—mortem examination finds the death was a homicide. the victim's brother tells demonstrators violence would not bring the changes, the black community deserves.

my my family is a peaceful family, my family is god fearing. let's find another way. protests against police brutality are continuing in dozens of american cities, with stand offs between activists and the armed forces. this is of the nation's capital where a curfew is now in place. moments after he threatened to deploy "thousands and thousands" of us troops against the protests and riots that have engulfed dozens of american cities, president trump has been on an extraordinary walkabout through downtown washington dc. he eventually stopped for photos, holding a bible, in front of the so—called church of presidents, damaged in the disturbances. a peaceful protest outside the white house was tear—gassed by police, to clear the president's path.

earlier he'd told state governors they must "dominate" the protests and get "much tougher." the death of george floyd, in minneapolis, which sparked the latest unrest, has now officially been declared a homicide. the following measures are going into effect immediately. first, we are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. we will end it now. today, i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets. mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them.

i am also taking swift and decisive action to protect our great capital, washington, dc. what happened in this city last night was a total disgrace. as we speak, i am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults and the wanton destruction of property. we are putting everybody on warning, our 7pm curfew will be enforced. those who threaten innocent life and property will be arrested, detained and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. i want the organisers of this terror to be on notice that you will face severe criminal penalties and lengthy sentences in jail.

this includes antifa and others who are leading instigators of this violence. one law and order... and that is what it is, one law. we have one beautiful law. and once that is restored and fully restored, we will help you, we will help your business and we will help your family. america is founded upon the rule of law. it is the foundation of our prosperity, our freedom and our very way of life, but where there is no law, there is no opportunity. where there is nojustice, there is no liberty. where there is no safety, there is no future. we must never give in to anger or hatred. if malice or violence reigns, then none of us is free. i take these actions

today with firm resolve and with a true and passionate love for our country. by far our greatest days lie ahead. the post—mortem examination carried out for mr floyd's family, has found that he died of asphyxiation due to pressure on his neck. the findings differ slightly from an official examination, which concluded that underlying health issues also played a role in his death. earlier on monday george floyd's brother, terence, spoke at the scene of his arrest. in every case of police brutality, the same thing has been happening. we protest, we destroy staff and if nobody don't move because why destroy oui’ don't move because why destroy our staff? we're going to move.

let's do it another way. let's do this another way. we take you now to live pictures from brooklyn in new york. the reason a curfew that but there is still a silent and peaceful protest. it is unclear whether these people will be moved off these people will be moved off the streets. it looks like they will not be moving off the streets by themselves. we will be casting other pictures from other cities in the us and speaking to people, and reporters on the street. we can now go live to washington, dc and speak to clarence williams from the washington post, it's a crime reporter. what is

happening at the moment, the president is back at the white house? i am a little bit blind to his movements apart from repose i have got, that is exactly what has happened. the protesters and demonstrators have not got away, despite 7pm cu rfew. have not got away, despite 7pm curfew. at the corner in the north—east of the white house, i predict around 700 people are still there. police are warning protesters they are violating cu rfew. protesters they are violating curfew. a large motorcycle present just went through and we are getting reports that maybe warnings for protesters to leave other areas of the city. we are waiting to see whether the authorities will make good on any arrests or enforcements. if you need to move ina enforcements. if you need to

move in a hurry, that is entirely understood. you look after yourself. no-one will move faster than i, i am an old fly half but i will move fast, don't worry about that. what has been the response by the president to deploy thousands of troops and the response to the walkabout. excuse me, i am being overtaken by protesters. can you ask your question again, please? what has been at the response to the threat by the response to the threat by the president to deploy the national guard and also to his walkabout. i didn't not think the president and the military has done anything to diminish the crowd. i think the question remains whether how many folks decide whether to go home once the curfew occurs at seven p.m.. there is definitely a

thinning of the cloud but there are still hundreds of people who do not seem will be going home anytime soon, military in the street or not. police were pretty fierce in disposing a peaceful protest outside the white house to clear the path of the president. it is there expectation they will move against these people? not at the area i am in at the moment. some of my colleagues are reporting that have been warnings given near 16th and k street, west of here, trying to get groups to disperse, saying they were violating curfew. i think, as of this guys, some decisions will be made, it is unclear whether they will be made by location code or a more widespread response. till now it has been fairly offhand

while we are away from the white house. what is your feeling about the protest there and in other cities? are the governors going to be able to get it under control? is the national guard going to be able to ta ke national guard going to be able to take control or is the military likely to be brought in and what effect will that have? it is simply unclear to see how this ends. i cannot speculate one way or the other. there will be debate about tactics here about which tactics here about which tactics by police may be more effective. a more hands off effect, or direct confrontation. i think in the days and weeks after this is over, it will be hotly debated. we have seen across the country in areas where police have been present, the practice are protesting the police so confrontation is seem to have flight confrontation is seem to have flight whereas in washington, dc police have taken a more...

not relaxed but there has been little confrontation except at ha rd targets little confrontation except at hard targets like the white house. i don't think anyone knows what will happen in the coming hours or days. we have been reporting that appeal from george floyd's rather effectively saying the damage, serious disturbances and violent is not helping the cause. you get in the sense of how that is going down? at the moment, you get out onto the streets, were people are demonstrating, there seems to be little connection to what is going on, despite everyone having a phone in their hand, reporting and taking photos and sharing life onstream on social media but i have not heard a ton of information coming into the crowd, for example when president trump was making his much across lafayette park, there was little understanding

amongst protesters where i was, that these messages may be coming through from elsewhere in the nation. thank you so much. my pleasure. stay with us on bbc news, much more to come. the moment of crowning in accordance with the order of service by a signal given, the great guns of the power. tributes have been paid around the world to muhammed ali who has died at the age of 7a. outspoken really out forced, he transformed the sport of boxing. he was a real fight and he fought all the way through.

ufo imposes an indefinite ban on english clubs playing in europe. —— uefa. on english clubs playing in europe. -- uefa. today is of the 20th anniversary of the release of sergeant pepper ‘s lonely hearts club band. a record described as the album of the century. this is bbc news — the latest headlines: president trump visits the washington church damaged by protesters just after he issued a warning that he would deploy the army. widespread demonstrations across the country continue after the death in police custody of george floyd. protest against police brutality are still going on in dozens of cities

across the us including in washington dc were inferior because he was now in place. —— in theory. there's broad agreement that america has not witnessed racial unrest on this scale since the late 1960s, following the assassination of martin luther king. the circumstances in which george floyd died, and the highly charged response, have shown once again the deep mistrust and hostility felt by millions of african—americans towards the police. our correspondent nick bryant puts the events of the past week into a wider historical context. the words "state of emergency" seem inadequate to describe what's happening in america right now. not since the assassination of martin luther king in 1968 have we witnessed such widespread racial turbulence. chanting: black lives matter, black lives matter! if we render these pictures in black—and—white, they'd look like they came from the 60s. # we are not afraid...#. that was the decade

when the struggle for black equality achieved such landmark success. the civil rights movement pushing for legislation that ended segregation across the american south and guaranteeing voting rights for black americans. but there was unfinished business. police brutality has always been hard to legislate against. african—americans have never achieved equality in pay — a form of income segregation that persists today. the racism is a sore that has been festering over and over and over again. and it's like when the sore is about to heal, the wound is reopened again by incidents like this and you have to start all over again. and the question is, how much can people take? cheering many hoped the election of america's first black president would repair, even heal america's racial breach, but barack obama never wanted his time in office to be defined by the colour of his skin. in terms of racial progress, his presidency was less historic than the fact that he became president. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now.

he was followed into office by donald trump, whose political rise started when he disputed whether ba rack obama was born in america — a groundless accusation. many reasons explain his victory in 2016, but mr trump certainly benefited from a backlash against a black president among some white voters. america is being hit right now by three simultaneous convulsions. a pandemic that's disproportionately affecting people of colour, an economic shock that's disproportionately affecting people of colour and civil unrest caused by police brutality that disproportionately affects people of colour. racial division is america's default setting. so what we're seeing here is not some aberration, but rather the continuation of an unbroken historical thread. nick bryant,

bbc news, new york. derecka purnell is a human rights lawyer who dedicated her career to end police and prison violence nationwide. shejoins us live from washington. what do you make of the present situation? well, ithink what do you make of the present situation? well, i think i think it's a representation of what we've seen throughout history. since we've had people of african descent on what this land is called, the united states of america, there's been a history of violence against them. the police we've seen in them. the police we've seen in the streets right now other police that came out in slave patrols so it's an iteration of the same cycle. that's the concern is much as anything, there is the same cycle going on and in the past this cycle has not changed anything. there must be a worry, mustn't there, among the people testing, or the people —— the people not involved or the violence or

looting, all this plays into the hands of the president who says he is tough as he ceases. all this could help in the election. it may not ring any of the change that the protesters want. well, perhaps. the most important thing is that donald trump ran on a campaign of law and order and people have gone into the streets to reject that so he can continue to make calls to the military and point the national guard but at the end of the day, people are sick and tired of watching people, black people especially, with their faces on the pavement with white offices kneeling on their backs and there is a known amount of threat that donald trump can do against people who have already seen that history. before there was donald trump, there was richard nixon, there was ronald reagan. we've had iterations of donald trump have been law and order police focused and have decided to use that against people of colour, poor people, homeless people, queer people, native people. the country was building on

police in order to build—up the capitalist system. people don't feel intimidated by that. as long as people continue to go into the streets, we will keep ignoring what is spewing out of the white house. this is a president who is not known for is empathy, when his inaugural speech talked about american carnage. there must be concerned about what comes next from this president. sure, the thing is, we don't need an empathetic president, we don't need to rely on donald trump was my netherlands to stop the lease violent —— violence. we can have the most benevolent president in the history of this country but i'm still police officers start losing power, we start shrinking budgets, reducing contact between them and civilians, that's when we get to the heart of the problem. not putting all our hopes and dreams into someone who is the leader of the country and they are nice and empathetic and understand because we had a president who

is empathetic to our cause and that did not eliminate the violence of police brutality that we still see today is one until we have a pleat transformational systemic change we can't rely on whether our leaders are nice or sympathetic to our cause. thank you. of course. the music industry is to observe a day—long "blackout" on tuesday, in response to george floyd's death last week. a number of major record labels, including sony and warner, have announced they are suspending business and working with communities to fight racial inequality. some artists have also cancelled radio appearances and media interviews. let's get more on this ‘blackout tuesday‘ with ronnie traynor. she's an artist manager from various artist management, a company that has will actually be closed on tuesday. what difference do you hope this will make question of we need to be seen to be stood shoulder to shoulder with the community. we can't continue to profit from our culture while

ignoring difficult conversations around justice and race. what will it actually involve. no emails, no work—related correspondence, our artists won't be releasing any music, they will be cancelling any interviews and we will be taking the time to think and consider what we can be doing and to question ourselves in terms of what we are actually doing to help get rid of this drug —— dreadful racism that continues to this day. many, many artists are very active on social media without any record company or business involvement at all. will they be continuing that at least? absolutely and that's one thing we have to get from this. this is not a 2k— one thing we have to get from this. this is not a 2a— hour thing or a this. this is not a 2a— hour thing ora i— this. this is not a 2a— hour thing or a 1— week then, this is something that needs to continue to change and move on. something that is part of the daily conversation we had to eradicate it. the music industry is a multibillion dollar industry and an industry that profited enormously from

the efforts, struggles and su ccesses the efforts, struggles and successes of black people so it's time we stopped and really paid attention. what needs to happen for you to count it as a success ? happen for you to count it as a success? a success will be an end to these terrific depths and the police brutality but i think, we've already seen the lockdown, had once been attached to their mobile phones and social media plat forms, in and social media plat forms, in a matter of a few days, the whole industry has been mobilised. this is a time that we can really do something. thank you very much for talking to us. let's go live to our north america correspond peter bowes. donald trump is set is not a politician. it's one of the things many people who voted for him said they liked. it was a supremely political move, ta ke

a supremely political move, take that walkabout to that particular church and stand there holding a bible. also, are made—for—tv moment. there holding a bible. also, are made-for-tv moment. it was are made-for-tv moment. it was a political move but clearly a typical donald trump move as well. very unpredictable in terms of how he responds to situations like this and having said that, there really hasn't been a situation like this. we are living through quite unprecedented times in the united states but it was a moment captured live on television, unexpected and the president must‘ve been hoping and look at the coverage that is likely to get over the next few hours that it will be a symbolic moment, standing in front of a church often described as a president's church, very close to the white house, a building that was damaged by some of the protests over the last 2a hours and that of course follow that very hard—hitting of course follow that very ha rd—hitting speech in of course follow that very hard—hitting speech in which he really gave an ultimatum to the

state governors that they deploy the national guard in large numbers to clear the streets otherwise he will deploy the us military and that again will be an incredibly unprecedented move and there has been some debate over whether indeed the president has the power to do that, to deploy the military domestically within the united states. he would have to implement a very old lawyer, it seems commitment to do x mac, to do that. the walkers is the headline grabber but the bigger threat is to deploy the military. and it is possible that it could inflame the situation massively. that is the big question right now because people have been calling for president trump to say something, as presidents do in times of national crisis, the console in chief is how they are described but there we re they are described but there were concerns also that the words of the president and they

turned out to be typical strong words in terms of law and order that many people had predicted, concerns those words might simply inflame the situation so we are waiting to see as cu rfews co m e we are waiting to see as curfews come into force. i'm in los angeles and the last hour orso, los angeles and the last hour or so, i've been getting notifications on my phone that this area, the county of los angeles is going into a curfew injusta angeles is going into a curfew injust a few angeles is going into a curfew in just a few moments time overnight as it did last night, the situation was repeated around the country. the big question is, how will people respond to that, will they obey the law and stay streets or will there be more protests, peaceful protests although some of those protests turn violent ain? of those protests turn violent again? peter, thank you very much indeed. we are giving a nine those pictures. very little sign that people are respecting curfews at the moment. much more in all the news national and international the bbc news website and you

can reach me and most of the tea m can reach me and most of the team on twitter. thank you for watching. hello there. on monday, the temperature reached 28 celsius, and it was the warmest day of the year so far in northern ireland. and whilst it's gonna be another very warm day for many today, the outlook is for it to turn much, much cooler. what's happening? well, we've been dominated by high pressure for weeks now, which has brought us the warm and sunny weather. the high is retreating into the atlantic, and to the north of that weather front, there is much cooler air. that cooler air will get swept down across the whole of the country later this week as a northerly wind develops. there is likely to be some rain around as well. gone are now early morning, we've got rain across the far north of scotland. otherwise, it's dry, clear, temperatures typically 8—11. and once any early mist and fog patches clear away from england and wales, it's going to be another sunny,

warm day for many places. but we've got rain in northern scotland, where it's cooler, and we could see showers and cloud developing further south across scotland into the far north of england later, and also potentially in northern ireland. so here, temperatures will be 22 degrees. the highest temperatures are likely to be towards the southeast of england, say, 27 in the london area. it will be as windy as it's been over the past few days also. so we've got cooler air heading ourway. there's also going to be some rain in that cooler air, but it could prove rather hit and miss, and of course there were large parts of the country that were extremely dry during may. and we're uncertain as to how much rain there will be on wednesday across east anglia and the southeast of england. maybe a bit wetter across other parts of england and into wales, and probably largely dry in northern ireland and the western side of scotland. but there will be a stronger northerly wind, which will make it feel cooler everywhere. temperatures are continuing to drop away, probably peaking at 20 degrees in the south east. and those temperatures actually are near—normal, really, for this time of year.

given how warm it's been, this is going to be a bit of a shock to the system. move things to thursday, and those temperatures fall even further, perhaps a few degrees below average for this time in june. and on thursday, there'll be a lot of cloud around. it may not be quite as windy. at one stage, it looked like most of the showers will be in the north. now it looks like the showers are moving further south across england and wales. where is the high pressure by the end of the week? it's here, well away from the uk. we're going to be dominated by low pressure, some stronger winds, some cooler air and still the potential of some showers on friday.
