custody earlier this week the city's mayor has called for criminal charges to be filed against the officer who was filmed kneeling on george boyd's neck during his arrest us department of justice has launched an investigation into floyd's killing which protesters say was fueled by racism. just days after the death of an unarmed man the anger remains on the streets of minneapolis. yes 9 shouted by peaceful protesters who echo his final words carry. the tension hang stick in the area even as the smoke clears from the night before in which anger ignited parts of the city. local stores were set ablaze others looted. it was a reaction to the graphic video that captured the final minutes of george floyd's

life. the black community left fuming and looking for the law to nail the shoe the offices in question with the same for all city as it did the handcuffed george floyd then you know what. we want justice we want you know the officer to be held accountable for his actions that is. all the state local and federal authorities tried to lower the temperature at a joint press conference but instead raised eyebrows by asking the community to bring forth more if it says. we need the community's help there were folks there on the scene not both that we couldn't identify necessarily at the time we need to know who they are come forward if you have a video please share it we want to do as quickly as we can a thorough investigation to get answers to those questions in the hours that followed those words it soon became abundantly clear that for the black community

of minneapolis justice is not being served fast enough. our correspondent stefan simmons is in many of us and joins us now stuff what's the situation there right. well i tell you what started as a peaceful protest maybe many hours ago has morphed into an all out riots and looting buildings around me and you can see this right now you just can see behind me are on fire and whenever a building's fired burns down the another one is set ablaze people here are still very very angry and we talked to protesters and he had basically 2 different things number one the crowd who says people all over the world and the america the elites the politicians have to see this the violence the looting the riots to understand that they are fed up with things like they happened to georgia florida the other crowd says this has nothing to do with peaceful protesting against the

killing of george george florida and as you can see emotions are running high. so those 2 groups are both here and watching buildings burning down police not inside and the national guard 500 national guard members are supposed to be deployed here but i have seen any stuff and the people protesting there are clearly very angry but who or what are they directing their anger at. police at the police there's a deep rooted deep rooted mistrust and anger against the police and b r or through the police and want to happen now to. the latest video. this translates also to at least 2 politicians to government city government state government as i said people here the majority of people says this is exactly what

the world needs to see buildings in flames anger and looting to understand that they're absolutely fed up and this is. thoughts no place anymore that any cop treats african-americans or people of color like this in their lives something that aside from sending in the national guard what are authorities doing to address the grievances of the protestors. but of course officials here in authorities have promised a solid in-depth investigation that they have to do this they have to take basically their time to not mess up an investigation to hold everything they find up and that it holds in court so that if those police officers are guilty they actually king. be punished for what they did this is not really understood or

appreciated by protesters here they want quick action and they want to again a symbolic display off that they are absolutely absolutely fed up and all words of politicians or authorities in one way or another to calm him down is basically wasted at this point that's what they tell us stefan thank you very much that was our reporter stefan seaman's there in minneapolis minnesota. us president donald trump has signed an executive order that aims to make social media companies liable for the content on their platforms much like newspapers are move comes after twitter flag 2 of his tweets suggesting they may be in a accurate. he calls it protecting free speech followed social media companies say it's a politicized approach to law trumps i'd like to see executive orders designed to

strip social media companies of their existing immediacy when it comes to content published on their platform. the choices that twitter makes when it chooses to suppress blacklists shadow. are editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seems to be a neutral public platform and they become and they're there with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about others also this week twitter put fact check labels on 2 of the president's tweets that had unsubstantiated claims about voting by mail in the u.s. twitter said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting trump it back and accuse twitter of trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and stuff for free speach. the business and technology sector the order could could freedom of speech across the internet while legal

experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which only the congress and not the president can change it really is a complete misreading of section $230.00 it takes. a law that has been interpreted time and time again very very broadly by multiple federal circuit courts and just says i'm replacing all of this with my own interpretation that i have no right to give about how to interpret this federal law and so no it's really not going to any staying power in a court may really is kind of just a piece of bread or a ball or that means the order will likely be challenging court ahead of the november presidential election. earlier we spoke to did of his washington bureau chief alexander phenomenon what motivated donald trump to sign this controversial executive order the logic behind this executive order is intriguing and that's actually what's trump always wanted and wants to publish his posts whatever he has

to say without any limitations even though. they are wrong or false statements or derogatory comments and he's executive order a text the very legal provision that allows him to do so with impunity so it's sort of difficult to understand but we have to say that the signing of this executive order placed to his space because by starting this battle this war with silicon valley he is doing something that will be very popular with his supporters and he can say look there is a conspiracy there are a large media groups that don't want me to get reelected there is only one voice that you need to trust that is my voice. so you look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today german carmaker books 5 and says it will invest more than 2000000000 euros in china the targets are 2 electric mobility
