donald trump has been speaking out calling the violent protests that followed floyd's death a disgrace here's a closer look now at the outrage that has been fueling unrest. business district of washington. in washington flames flickered up in the darkness just a stone's throw away from the white house. tear gas canisters flew is police patrol cars burned in boston. in some places unrest gave way to violence and looting like here in san diego. there were countless arrests here in phoenix arizona and a tense standoff in seattle echoing scenes in dozens of cities from coast to coast a clothing store talked in long beach california the united states has been such a blaze by the killing of george floyd. he died in police custody one week ago.

a community police officers across the nation can be are destroyed in one act like that president trump has reacted by blaming lefty script for the violence he's also 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. well just a short while ago donald trump spoke at the white house this is what he had to say 1st we are ending the riots as a lot of listeners that has spread throughout our country we will end it now today i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets mares and governors 1st establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life

and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. well the w.'s alexandra phenomenas out the white house a following developments for us as we heard the president has just spoken what was his message. well 1st of all there and you could tell you that this is a real serial situation here we are facing a very tense face off between the demonstrators and the police here just a few blocks away from the white house where the president was addressing the nation but instead of talking about the problems or let's say the reasons for this protesters to be out in the streets about police it would set of talking about police brutality about racial disparities in the u.s. he was stressing co importance to it is to restore law and order and he was also

stressing that he is determined to deploy active you ask the military to to do so so this was obviously not the message that would be intend to to unify the country and to address the concerns of the protesters here in washington d.c. and across the u.s. when we see plenty of protesters there where you are but d.c. is currently under a curfew that began at 7 pm your time doesn't look like it's taking any kind of a fact. that it's true and i talked to some protesters and they told me that it's important for them to be here to show their anger and the need for changes of course they're also watching the situation we already observed if you clashes between the protesters and the police the police have decided apparently to leave the area they're moving forward as you can see right now

a few steps then they stand they they move again we sold flash and bombs we saw also a demonstrator who was standing just next to me was hit by. by rubber bullets so the situation here with police using tear gas to disperse the crowd it's really tense. so we're seeing more tear gas and bulletins bullets in the nation's capitol of course these protests go to the heart of racial inequality in the u.s. and all this is taking place in an election year for donald trump how do you think these protests are likely to affect his standing. well we know that even he's advisors within the white house of the new thracian are concerned that he's not striking the right tone that he's not trying to unify the nation to to overcome all the difficulties right now and to address the concerns as i said of the demonstrators so they're worried that he may be losing the support of. voter

groups that are important for him suburban movements and independent voters but he is of course stressing that law and order is swartz he is trying to get resorts to get really reelected. phenomena covering that story from us or from a washington d.c. thank you. well the brother of george floyd has appealed to protesters to remain peaceful saying he would have wanted a peace and unity not violence terence floyd a spoke today in minneapolis at the spot where his brother died a week ago today an independent autopsy report has found that george floyd died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression that contradicts an official report from minneapolis police. well now let's bring in the mines in minneapolis for more on this story stefan good to see you we heard that an autopsy commissioned by george floyd's family reveals that he died of asphyxiation and due

to this compression what more can you tell us about those findings. well i can tell you that the crowd right behind me here on ground 0 where what just alexandra describes happening in d.c. this is ground 0 for that right over there is where george floyd died according to this through this new and independent. corona autopsy report from a former team of corona. it clearly says that george floyd actually died here before he was brought to the hospital and through extensive pressure on his back and on his neck for substantial amount of time now have people reacted here to this no not really because they never believed in the 1st place the corona the autopsy report and the corona statements from the authorities here so

for them it was always clear and it's still not anything like it could be should be it's for them crystal clear that those 4 policemen and those 3 who put their knees on george's large body especially on his knack that they are responsible for his for his death. so there's no mistaken for this from this crowd here you see behind me is still a very. kind of a family family oriented fest almost the atmosphere is quite quiet. i'm sorry i need to know over district because i need to monitor what's going on there's a but i mean the. the embassy here is really really friendly there's people bringing food and and drink and the make up of the people here is

families little children is that right this will change this will change within 2 hours because then it's curfew time here in minneapolis and you can see this but there is guys now they will come in now and building actually barricades to wards this intersection here to protect it from any police action coming down to them or on them potentially in 2 hours from now. at the scene in minneapolis thank you. well anger over the death of george floyd is spreading a far beyond the borders of the united states here in berlin there were protests over the weekend including outside the u.s. embassy meanwhile others in the german capital have turned to art to show their solidarity. has this report. in beilin protesters gathered for a 3rd consecutive day in the city's main learn mark upon the book gate i out. just

it. has been on the floor. it's been a fact is that it's not so cool that people aren't treated as they should be everyone is equal regardless of their skin color they were born that way and have to same rights but on a very big right. here in germany presence of people gathered over the weekend to show solidarity following george broadstairs in the united states here behind me you can see george floyd's last words i can't breeze on a mirror which stands right where the belly wall used to stand this is highly symbolic and it does so shows that the struggle against racism is a global issue. let's go to sports now and in the bundesliga parisienne mentioned gladbach hosted struggling at union berlin on sunday night back needed a win to stay among the top 4 in order to play among europe's best next season and it all went according to plan. brasier monckton bloodbath are determined to secure a champions league spot this season and quickly they look like
