to fail. i'm phil gal welcome to the program one of the police officers involved in the death of a black man in the u.s. city of minneapolis has been charged with murder an eye witness video caught the white officer kneeling on george floyd's neck as he was being detained after 3 nights of unrest the mass declared curfew and around $500.00 national guard troops are standing by and protests have spread to cities including phoenix denver and columbus but most of floyd stepha's left minneapolis reeling. smoke rises from buildings set ablaze during minneapolis' long list not of unrest yet the place in the national guard and now after on the streets in force to keep the protest from flaring up again. it was alleged police misconduct that brought people

out into the straits but outrage at police overreach did not stop offices scattering of from arresting a c.n.n. crew reporting from the same and so we walked away. i'm sorry ok jim oh i am under arrest or why our part of london is being arrested the crew relayed to relace. last night the play station where the office is involved in floyd george's death what was set on fire. this video is what spock and rest not in the minneapolis resident floyd being pinned to the ground by an officer dying shortly afterwards the room what you want to read. with fury sweeping america out of this case the authorities have acted the police officer who manhandled floyd has been arrested and charged with murder.

i must say that this case has moved with extraordinary speed. this. conduct this criminal action took place on monday evening may 25th memorial day i'm speaking to you at 1 o'clock on friday may 29th that's less than 4 days. but this case is already torn fresh grieving communities. shots fired during anti brutality protests in the city of louisville kentucky wounded 7 demonstrate as the police have did night firing the shots but neither that denial nor the arrest of the alleged killer i likely to defuse the tension so they're now boiling. well they doubly correspondent stuff and zaman's is in minneapolis i asked him about the significance of the charges of 3rd degree

murder and manslaughter against a one of the 4 offices involved in this incident. the 1st degree murder charges actually category murder kind of grew in the law in only 3 states in florida in minneapolis and minnesota here is where we are in minnesota and in pennsylvania what it basically means is that the person charged with this is looking at 25 years in prison if found guilty however in this case there's also manslaughter charges one way or another the reaction here when the news came that the officer who put his knee on. mr floyd snack. led to his passing was arrested was quite joys people really took note and were happy to hear this and secondly of course when then the news broke that he was also charged with 1st degree. murder again the crowds was expressing their joy about this yes finally is that trajectory ok so looking at the scene

behind you it does look rather grim just let us know what's going on that at the moment it does seem to have calmed down somewhat yeah it has calmed down significantly come down i was just that out of the picture for a 2nd now you now see that we have like real barriers here and a line of police officers behind that way there in the back 500 meters down maybe you still see perhaps a fly a truck spraying water on burned down buildings that was not just the precinct 3 police building which were burned to the ground almost there last night it was a number of buildings which were actually looted and put on fire then however i have to say when i described that from last night that we spoke to many protesters who actually said a. this is still a protest be it is necessary to go to this length of action through to

create that's much have to make elites and politicians and actually the american society understand that they had enough that they will never ever want to see anything like they had seen in the video of mr floyd's incident so that's why there are actually very strong minded in in reemphasizing that a this protest is not over and b if it's going to be violent again then so be it because that is the result of what they had to endure through what they say is systemic racism in this country and in this city too and presumably this is what is fueling the protests about this case across the united states i would say so i think that the fair assessment i think the african-american communities all over the country just had enough there is just too many cases too many videos on the on the on the web who actually show

that white officers or or white citizens hunt down and murder and shoot black people they just had enough they really had enough and they really want to make sure that this rings a bell and really gets into the minds of everybody involved and everybody into the entire country thank you. tweet from president trump referring to the unrest in minneapolis a president of trump tweeted that when the looting stops the shooting starts which the company decided promoted violence the president believes too is biased against him and other conservative commentators so he signed an executive order aiming to check the power of social media. he calls it protecting free speech for the social media companies say it's a politicized approach to law donald trump's latest executive order is designed to strip social media companies of their existing immunity when it comes to content

published on their platform. and choices that twitter makes when it chooses to suppress blacklist shadow. or 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 us to it it said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting trompette back and accuse twitter of trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and stuff for free speech to business and technology sectors the order could curb freedom of speech across the internet while legal experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which telling the congress 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 the law and so no it's really not going to have any staying power in a court i may really is kind of just a piece of bread or a ball or that means the order will likely be challenged in court ahead of the november presidential election. well legal experts are pretty much agree the order will probably be struck down in court so what is president trump trying to achieve well i put that question to mathias a catamount from the leibnitz institute for media research in hamburg he has achieved already something namely now we're talking about that as a legal question but it is not actually a legal question it is a political act an attempt to divide the platforms to divide facebook from

twitter as we've seen to to to divide the democrats because they have also called for stronger regulation of platforms he's trying to rally his base he is afraid of being confronted. with his failures regarding fighting corona and he's now trying to open a new front and he's been rather successful as we see from lots of media coverage that is actually focusing on this as a legal question when it is actually a political attack against the most important law protecting internet freedom of expression but use government from the lead news institute president trump says the u.s. is to cut ties with the world health organization over its handling of the coronavirus he maintains the u.s. is withdrawing support from the organization because what he calls china's total control over its president accuses chinese officials of ignoring their 14

obligations and pressuring the agency to mislead the world when the corona virus outbreak began. the president also says the u.s. will because it more international ties this time eliminating special treatment for hong kong because of new chinese security legislation that gives beijing more say in the running of the territory china has moved ahead with the law which critics say will be used to quash political dissent britain also raised concerns about the territories or autonomy of the un security council while the european union joined in the criticism warning that beijing was in breach of its international commitments. the view of hong kong from above is stunning but what is happening in the city itself is straining e.u. relations with china the blow to civil rights and the heavy handed approach by police e.u. foreign ministers expressed concern but took no action at least for now we'll continue trying to put. pressure on the chinese aside it is. and he said that he

didn't think sanctions were the right way to solve the problems with china the e.u. is being cautious leaders hope delicate negotiations now underway will give european companies more access to the huge chinese market brussels would also like to bring beijing on board in climate talks a summit with the chinese government set for september should finalize these deals renewed unrest in hong kong has led to calls for the summit scheduled in germany to be canceled berlin disagrees. you might also come to the opposite conclusion and say that it is especially important for the european union to sit unified and cohesive at the table and be able to also discuss the uncomfortable topics prescription but it's not clear whether the e.u. has the clout to put pressure on china for beijing taking more control over hong kong is a key issue. and kris kobach will have more coverage of iraq's china relations in
