protesters. and the artist and known simply as crystal was dying to be age of 84 he became famous for wrapping buildings and landmarks to take a look at his life and work. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us of another night of on rest in the u.s. with protests and dozens of cities after the brutal death of a black man in police custody the national guard has been deployed in a number of states curfews were extended in major cities as police struggle to contain the situation a memorial gathering took place for george floyd in his home city of minneapolis. america is burning for 6 nights in a row anger flooded streets across the deeply divided country. this scale of civil

unrest has not been seen here in decades. in georgia floyd's home state protesters marched against systemic racism and police brutality. all these voices are. the same thing keeps happening over and over again it's the new lynching you know and it's new coded language in a way that our president represents himself in and has a following of k.k.k. members you know all this stuff what people across the country a wave of anger has been leashed. i think we're at a tipping point to be honest with you i think. i think this is what happens when you have. hundreds of years of oppression. hundreds of years of peaceful protests that seemingly accomplish nothing we have been discriminated against my entire life so like i'm used to the trayvon martin i'm used to the my arteries so i'm just tired i'm tired of the narrative i'm tired of

the hash tag right there we're all still scenes of unity as officers showed their solidarity with tara testers as well so i am sure going to have a right to. help all this is it talk about it. but in washington tensions spiked outside the white house as the president blamed left extremists and infiltrators for the on breast. radical left criminals the 7 others all throughout our country and throughout the world will not be allowed to set communities or blades. we won't let up but it harms those who have the least. but some experts say there is also evidence of far right extremists stoking the violence the president's response has drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle

with some calling for a measured response to the crisis. right let's talk about the ongoing protests and political implications in the u.s. the tosh that is a political scientist professor of international relations and compared to politics at the university of essex and england good to have you with us you were in los angeles during the police attack on rodney king and the unrest that followed in 1982 how do you compare what you saw then to the protests now well the 1902 rights were of course incredibly tense in fact 60 people died and thousands were arrested and many were injured but the difference was it only lasted 6 days it didn't spread over to 140 cities and there's actually a lot of inner ethnic tension between asian americans and african-americans at the time in the l.a. riots this is completely different this is spread to be something that really affects all americans and we're seeing more solidarity among people of color and

also white americans who feel that there have been tremendous injustices against african-americans and touch a lot of people right now looking to the white house for leadership president trump has not addressed the people he has not sought to calm tensions to this point how much are these protests testing his ability to lead the nation. well yet again we see another situation that trump is unable to respond to because he takes it all very personally thinks it's all about him instead he has declared he for some left wing group a terrorist organization that doesn't help he's getting the flames of racism and refuses to acknowledge his role in fueling right wing groups and in legitimizing this this had to be uder of racism against african-americans we have seen protests similar protests over the past few years that have targeted some of the deep systemic inequalities that you see in us society the deep racism after eric garner was killed in 2014 for example yet nothing much seems to have changed in that time

is there any indication that we these actual these protests right now could address these efforts it's really hard to say that i've never seen protests that have been so extensive as i mentioned over a 140 cities are involved it seems to be involving all different groups of people that have just had enough i mean one of things important to understand about racism in the u.s. and about how african-americans have been unfairly targeted is that on average about 2 african-americans that are unarmed are killed by the police every week and they're 2 and a half times more likely to be killed it's just that most of the time these things aren't videotaped so it may be just the end of the road here people they feel that they've done enough to trade enough they've tried all kinds of peaceful protests and hopefully we're going to see more people uniting as some of the video footage showed behind the need to keep the police accountable and to to understand that black lives matter all right natasha lynn said political scientist at the

university of essex thank you so much. well during the protest on sunday in minneapolis a truck through and through a crowd of protesters on a highway overpass miraculously it appears that only one person was slightly injured. blaring this is the moment a truck barreled into a large crowd of protesters in minneapolis who somehow managed to get out the way. the highway was packed with demonstrators at the time they then swarm the truck and try to get at the driver. police used tear gas to disperse the crowd that had surrounded the truck. t.w. correspondent stephanie was reporting from the scene eyewitnesses said they saw one woman injured it's we were doing a peaceful protest on the bridge then a sim i can't do going like 40 or 50 miles an hour trying to run us off to call

cajun manvel on a war going to hit a girl stop because all of our people jumped on to try to rip him out trying to get our he kept going we regard how to reverse and almost hit somebody there are people jumped on him anyways so he got 2 so you say he hit one person only and nobody else was hurt one person one person only that's amazing how is that possible and everybody will start moving everybody started scattering and the girl i got her we had one we only had one vehicle in a holding tank and we put her in a truck and we drove our straight to the hospital. officials say the driver was treated in hospital for injuries he suffered when he was pulled from the cab he's now in custody and he's been charged with assault. as we saw there on the monks was on the scene when the truck drove through the protesters he gave us more details hennepin county authorities just released his name and also a mug shot. of the driver he is charged as you pointed out and in

custody and the charge assaults and why only assault because luckily absolutely lucky them are clean i think nobody or at least only one woman was hurt and she is expected to recover. at the time absolutely not evident and looked really really really really bad from our advantage for going from anybody else who was of course in the crowd and we rushed to the scene. people stuart hundreds of people came towards us running brake. down sobbing crying shaking and that was a horrible horrible scene no doubt thank goodness. only one person injured. as america's best could have been rude gone really really wrong. reporting there let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world tropical storm amanda

covered germany's parliament building the right stock with 100000 square meters of class. with officials for more than 20 years to get permission for the project that process often spout furious debates down me to build this fabric will cover this building in a worthy way. to give far consider the dangers this could damage the trust of many citizens in the stature of our democratic history and culture shock in the human condition christo it was born in broke a provincial beaucaire in textile city his father a chemicals manufacturer recognised his son's talent early in life and sent him for drawing lessons he studied at the fine arts academy in the capital sofia in 1956 he fled eastern europe 1st going to vienna and then paris to find his own artistic direction he began rapping cans and bottles and in 1968 became known to the wider

german public with an 85 metre high it's how a filled with air the documenter arctic submission in castle crystal always financed his project himself refusing to be influenced by sponsors. i will never. marry them all of it because. i have. to do this project christo light the spectacular giant orange curtain across the valley in colorado to give a new appreciation of the landscape the scale of his projects was often huge he put up a 40 kilometer long long fence in california and surrounded entire islands with fabric off the coast of miami another aspect of his work was stacking barrels like with his installation the wall in germany's oberhausen emerged from $13000.00 barrels

christo had wanted to cover a new york skyscraper one dream that will now go unfulfilled. let's talk about christos life and work with the. culture he's with us here in studio hi writer what do you think legacy is in the art world well i thought about this than you think i can be rich it can be resumed in a word beauty he left beauty the beauty he created when you put up his fabrics the colored fabrics saffron yellow in blue or orange and silvery fabrics to transform whole landscapes landscapes and natural landscapes and it's also the shared experience of that beauty all our contemporaries because we all remember in one way or the other whether we've experienced it personally or just in photos or in television all these wonderful artworks so i think no other artist has created such an amount of collective choice that's what he wanted by the way he said i make

things that have no function except maybe for making pleasure that's what he wanted he was a political person but he had no political political message he wanted us to enjoy and to have that common experience and experience. experience i think that lasts that outlasts him and he'll be far longer remember than many other contemporary hyped autism or he really couldn't misses installations they were monumental really why do you think it shows that well i think it's not for the sake of the monument tallit of the scale of the big size he was interested in space in london art in transforming landscapes and if you want to transform a landscape or a city or a building you have to go baby that's very simple he wanted to create an effect on space and the fact demands big size large. large dummy dimensions so it was not for the sake of of going big it was really for he had to learn that

because in the early days for example he put up a shoe curtain in a colorado valley in california and it tore the fabric was not appropriate so he tore apart and they had to put it down to nearly stage and he learned from that so in the end in the end he and his wife junk load which you can't underestimate if you have to say that again they were the masters of logistics and of fabrics to the end so they ended up being the masters of many mentality in spite of not wanting and spite of opposition and we went to mention in our report that there was some opposition to this wrapping of the reichstag building how much skepticism opposition did he face he faced a lot of skepticism and adversity in the sixty's seventy's and eighty's but i think that ice talk of and changed everything because in germany the chancellor kohl he said what's this going to be but in the end everyone was so amazed by the

2nd by the celebration of the event by the the worldwide impact it had that everyone ended up saying yes we had to do this and afterwards ever afterwards from the mid ninety's on what's. tourism manages cultural. manages authorities wanted to do things on their places in the cities to put them on the international outs map so i think that i start was a pivotal moment in his career in that respect and just very quickly what do you think was his most impressive work of art the right stock of course but then for me one i haven't ever experienced and that's perhaps the interesting thing of it that's the umbrella project in japan where you put thousands of blue umbrellas in a green valley in japan wonderful platic i'm so melancholic about that i will never be able to see it so that's very crystal esque i think all right we'll have to leave it there reiner top of data if you culture thank you for sharing your insights with us. and thank you for watching the news will be back at the top of
