brother of george floyd has appealed to protesters to remain peaceful saying that his brother would have wanted peace and unity not violence terence floyd spoke today in minneapolis at the spot where his brother died one week ago today when a white police officer derek jovan held his knee on george ford's neck for nearly 9 minutes and independent autopsy has found that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression that contradicts an official report from the minneapolis police. are for more let's bring in define as he moans he is in minneapolis for worse so let's talk about this all top's a report that was commissioned by the family of george floyd's revealing that he died. due to neck and back compression do people there were you argue
10:03 pm
that they heard this new. i don't think no they don't have that has not translated yet into the minds of many here but i can tell you that when the official autopsy report from the police department on authorities here came out. and 99 percent of the protesters 99 of the people maybe behind me 99 of all many people in minneapolis did not believe that this could actually be the case and then you had an independent autopsy now saying also that george floyd has actually died here this is ground 0 for what's going on in america right now and here in minneapolis right there so i think when this is going to be sinking in there will be a relief to know that there was an independent autopsy and there will of course welcome the results there as it is what they expected or believed to have happened anyway.
10:04 pm
and you are on the side where the final moments of george ford's life begin. that has become the memorial hasn't. yeah this is basically you have to tell you this is the only safe spot we have discovered here in minneapolis meaning that in a few hours time when it's dark here when it's 8 o'clock local time there will be barricades and every street going to what's this intersection they will be erected by protesters and this scene will change because that is all discourse the time where law enforcement then starts again to enforce the curfew this side is the only side i have that we have visited so far being that which has not seen any law enforcement trying to enforce the curfew and drive people out anywhere else in minneapolis. police was and state troopers law enforcement was everywhere and on
10:05 pm
the sponsor at local time 8 o'clock they started their drive to get protesters off the street to enforce this curfew here that's not the case so far it's different what's your sense of being today is the one week anniversary of all of this and now we've got this all top see report put all of that together do you think that the families called for these protests to be peaceful do you think these calls will be heeded tonight. i think it will have an impact definitely people here were eager to hear what the floyd family has to say in turn floyd as you pointed. out he did say try to keep the the the fire try to be still outraged but keep it peaceful do not go into buildings rent save them loot them and set them on fire this can be done differently. i think
10:06 pm
didn't mean and nobody understood it that way that he wanted to take away from the drive those people have to bring their point across that they are fed up and absolutely done with police brutality and systemic racism in police forces in other institutions not just here but across the country however yes i think it will have an impact having said that in all fairness there will be also and there always are and there were in the last few days people from the outside who come with an agenda. try to jump on the bandwagon and also try here and there to manipulate and to direct this protest and the the outrage in a very different end in the violent way and that is of course not what the real protesters and the ford family wants. people all around the world are hoping that tonight will be peaceful and that the protests will remain peaceful we will see stefan's even on the story for us in minneapolis in minnesota thank you.

10:09 pm
country many police officers also felt compelled to show their solidarity on that on gators and other cops * in the united states and when you see that you can't justify that and when i look at that all the good that we do in a community police officers across the nation can be are destroyed in one act like that president trump has reacted by blaming lefty script on t 5 for the violence he's also a state governments to get tough on protesters but after a week of deepening unrest that has brought fire to the gates of the white house many a calling for the president to stop stoking the flames. and we are just getting word now that the largest city in the u.s. new york city will impose a curfew tonight beginning at 11 pm lasting until 5 am again a curfew in new york city tonight where anger over the death of george floyd is spreading far beyond the borders of the u.s. here in berlin on sunday there were peaceful protests outside of the u.s. embassy others are turning to art to show their solidarity user manual jobs has
