3:02 pm
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 here because 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 but. across the country a wave of anger has been unleashed. i think we're at a tipping point to be honest with you i think that. i mean this is what happens when you have. hundreds of years of oppression and. hundreds of years of peaceful protests that seemingly accomplish nothing we have been
3:03 pm
mistreating it's my entire life so like i'm used to the trayvon martin i'm used to that my arteries so i'm just tired i'm tired of the narrative i'm tired of the hash tag right here and there were are still scenes of unity as officers showed their solidarity with the protesters as well so i am sure going to have a right. to help all this is a talk right now. but in washington tensions by outside the white house as the president blamed left extremists and infiltrators for the on the rest. radical left criminals and others all throughout our country and throughout the world will not be allowed to set communities or place. we won't let up. it harms those who have the least. but some experts say there is
3:04 pm
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. fred let's talk about the ongoing protests and political implications in the us that that is a political scientist professor of international relations and comparative politics at the university of essex and england natasha good to have you with us you were in los angeles during the police attack on rodney king and the unrest that followed in 1902 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
3:05 pm
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 has been tremendous injustices against african-americans who 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 racism against african-americans we have seen protests similar protests over the past few years that have targeted some of the deep systemic
3:06 pm
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 when these actual these protests right now could address these efforts it's really hard to say they're 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 the 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 on armed 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 and nothing tried enough to create all kinds of peaceful protests and hopefully we're going to see more people uniting as some of the video footage
3:07 pm
showed behind the need to keep the police accountable and to to understand that black lives matter right not actual inside political scientists at the university of essex thank you so much. well during the protests on sunday in minneapolis a truck drove through a crowd of protesters on a highway overpass our reporter was on the scene has more. 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. d.w. correspondent stephanie was reporting from the scene eyewitnesses said they saw one woman injured it's we were doing a peaceful protests on the bridge then

3:09 pm
a mug shot. of the driver he is charged as you pointed out and in custody and the charge is assault and why only assault because luckily absolutely lucky a merkley i think nobody or at least only one woman was hurt and she is expected to recover that was at the time absolutely not evident and looked really really really really bad from our advantage foreigners from anybody else who was of course in the crowd when we rushed to the scene. people stuart hundreds of people came towards us from. calming breaking down sobbing crying shaking and that was a horrible horrible scene no doubt thank goodness. only one person injured that is as america could have been rude gone really really really wrong. there let's

3:17 pm
the worst in europe after greece across spain food handouts have leapt by 40 percent since the start of the lockdown in mid march and the spanish red cross has helped more than one and a half 1000000 people in that time but the charities feel like they've been left to tackle the problem alone. the government or the municipalities the community is completely ignoring us they say they're doing a lot but they don't do much at all it's that we shouldn't be doing this because they should be doing something about it but they are not noticed and i see in the last week the spanish government promised it would introduce a universal basic income to the value of some 3000000000 euros a year the money coming from used to run a rescue package will help them to keep that promise. let's check in now on some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic and the number of cases in brazil has surpassed half

3:20 pm
goal of the match. with less than 10 minutes on the clock it was players turn to after the scoreboard . for one it ended and pick up 3 valuable points that keep them in contention for a place in the champions league. the artist known as christo has died at the age of 84 he became world famous for its nass of public works of art wrapping up buildings and landmarks in fabric. this piece of arts made christo a star in germany the it was $995.00 and together with his wife sean claude he covered germany's parliament building the right stock with 100000 square meters of cloth the jui fought with officials for more than 20 years to get permission for the project that process often sparked furious debates down me to build these it's
3:21 pm
fabric will cover this building in a worthy way it being conceded to far consider the danger is this could damage the trust of many citizens in the stature of our democratic history and culture shock in the country christo it was born in bropho a provincial beaucaire in textile city his father a chemicals manufacturer rec. 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 tower filled with air the documentor arctics edition in castle christie financed his project himself refusing to be influenced by sponsors. i will never.
3:22 pm
marry them. 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 right with his installation the wall in germany's oberhausen emerged from $13000.00 barrels christo had wanted to cover the 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. world well i thought about
3:23 pm
this in it think i can be rich it can be resumed in a word beauty he left beauty the beauty he created when he put up his fabrics the colored fabrics saffron yellow in blue or orange and silvery fabrics to transform whole landscapes urban landscapes or 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 on 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
3:24 pm
that outlasts him and he'll be far longer remember than many other contemporary hyped autism or really couldn't misses installations they were monumental really why do you think it shows that while 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 in transforming landscapes and if you want to transform a landscape or a city or a building you have to go big that's very simple he wanted to create an effect on space and effect 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 chute 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 at an early stage and he learned from that
3:25 pm
so in the end in the end he and his wife junk load which you can't underestimate as 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 menu mentality in spite of not wanting and in 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 i stock event 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 this 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 moods. tourism managers cultural. and edges of storage he's wanted to
3:26 pm
to do things on their places in the cities to put them on the international ots map so i think that i stock 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 rostock 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 he puts 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 true story ascott thing all right we'll have to leave it there reiner top of from culture thank you for sharing your insights with us. and let's get a quick reminder of our top stories on day w. the u.s.s. scene a 6th night of violent protests and looting after the death of a black man and police custody curfews are in force in many cities. and turmoil in minneapolis as a truck drives through
