spacecraft by the private space x. company launches from u.s. soil for the 1st time in nearly a decade. plus in a buyout hanging around us they close in on and it's successive ties to the demolished as the go to move 10 points clear at the top of the to. us welcome to the program a wave of outrage has swept across the united states following the death of a black man in police custody in minneapolis 46 year old george floyd was killed while being detained by police floyd was on armed violence flared for a 4th night in minneapolis and authorities say local police and national guard soldiers have been overwhelmed by demonstrators. or just spread to many other

cities leaving a trail of destruction and that word for. it i'm sure over the persistence of police killings reaches boiling point it spilled on to the streets of new york where demonstrators scuffled with offices into the night. was in the southern states of georgia protesters in atlanta faced off with police outside the head offices of media companies c n n the clashes prompted this plea from the mayor. this is chaos a protest has purpose you are just pricing our city you are disgracing the life of george lloyd in every other person who has been killed in this country we are better than this. but it's the way that george floyd and many other african-american men have died in police custody that has fueled this public

outrage the officer who restrained george floyd has been charged with 3rd degree murder. but that isn't enough for these protesters in minneapolis or the victims' relatives i fear it was they want the 3 other officers at the scene to face murder charges to. authorities impose a curfew in minneapolis to try and calm the tensions after days of unrest but protesters along with looters and dos mystified it. in washington demonstrators rallied outside the white house president trump condemned the violence that has accompanied protests nationwide in all our situation. i captained in minneapolis to descend further into lawless anarky in chaos and we understand that very well that trump promised to speed up the investigation into george floyd's death but the public is demanding more than just another probe

into another death of an african american in police custody it's morning for institutional change there. let's go straight to minneapolis correspondent stefan z is standing by stefan what's going on where you are right now i gather there's some new protests happening. there right behind me you may can see a list of all over the side who can see about 2000 rough estimate protesters which descended to the police station this building there would be a brown bricks this is police station precinct 5 and just a few minutes ago we still have seen as saw police officers in riot gear on the roof and the crowd managed to basic chant them off by repeating that bell a crisis i can't brief i can't preach justice without justice no peace and repeating over and over again the name of david floyd so george floyd pardon me

this is the situation right now so far this is all very very peaceful here it's more of a family event protest and with that i refer to the to the demographic who is now here in front of this police station protesting. stefan the governor of minnesota today said that the protests are no longer about george floyd's death what else are they about then what does it mean. yeah well i have to tell you i think the governor is dead wrong with this analysis and it's right behind me this prove this is all about all about george floyd it's all about what happened to this man and this is all about the really deeply rooted anger and frustration in the african-american community which has lost the support and also by white people here . and so i can't really see what the governor means by this i can assume though

that he is referring to the destruction which is left behind in the path of those rather violent demonstrations the last few intro tests in the last few days and nights on so far peaceful 2 nights and i have to say that even if not confirmed or verified the proverbial word of the street in the street or on the street is that this is going to be a very busy and difficult meaning violent night for minneapolis. so is this also about an outpouring of discontent with washington and the trump administration. well just in the largest sense that the demonstrators and protesters we have spoken to and all the folks we have spoken to actually have said that this is maybe off 2nd or 3rd priority what the president says what he what he tweeted out cause it's not helpful he still can the fire he's not making any france

in their group of protesters we have encountering the last few days here but on the other hand nobody of those people actually expects him to be helpful or understanding at least that's what they say or understanding of what this really at the core of the problem here. in minneapolis thank you. so ford's death has caused in international echo to here in berlin demonstrations of solidarity have taken several forms hundreds have rallied in front of the u.s. embassy in support of floyd several groups had called for the rally on social media under them also justice for george floyd against racist police violence just a few miles away refugee of floyd was painted onto the wall of berlin's iconic model apoc together with the caption i can't bring them. out lift off the historic space x. mission to the international space station and safely underway the expedition marks

a market departure from the normal way of doing things and you know many people feel it's the wave. well it's worth it to us or not to 19 hours to get to the space station what risks and difficulties lie ahead of them. at this point not much lunch is usually the most difficult thing spacecraft is a proven spacecraft it's flown before the rocket of course is one many times and so now they're pretty much just checking out the spacecraft to be sure all the systems are working probably have something to eat and theoretically they'll take a nap but we'll see if that actually happens to us because our wrists how does today's mission compare to say the the mercury or paula programs in the sixty's. it's something we've done many times of the risk is lower because we have nearly with thousands and this spacecraft is really the is the product of a half of a century of how to do it in so it's far more automated is demonstrably saper

them's the shuttle and so you know practice makes perfect and this watch today was flawless and that to see demonstrate just how wonderful spacecraft that is keith cowing from another the web site nasa watch thank you very much for joining us a pleasure. take a look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world european leaders have president donald trump to reconsider his decision to cut ties with the world health organization he's faced the backlash of home and abroad over the decision trouble is accusing the agency of not doing enough to curb the early virus of the early spread of the corona virus. india that is to ease some restrictions home june 8 restaurants hotels shopping centers and religious buildings will be allowed to reopen areas with high numbers of infections
