problems and they seem long to lucian the new season of the sounders bentley. storage june 13th w. this is g w news a live shot from burlesque police fired tear gas to clear protests near the white house as people across the u.s. condemned the death of george floyd who died after a white police officer pressed a need to his neck this says donald trump addresses the nation threatening to deploy the military to cities to stop violent demonstrations if needed 'd.

the word it. were good meanwhile george floyd's brother terence urges mourners to turn their outrage into peaceful action against police brutality. and the artist known simply as cristo has died at the age of 84 he became famous for rapping buildings and landmarks we'll take a look at his life and work. and play richardson welcome to the show medical examiners in the u.s. state of minnesota say the death of george floyd it was a homicide the report says his heart stopped as police restrained him and pressed on his neck protest having gulf to the united states since floyd died one week ago at the site of his death in minneapolis members of his family paid tribute to him with. a call for unity and peace. but.

tears flow laid crumbles under the weight of tremendous loss this is where for nearly 9 minutes his brother george begged for his life and for his mother under the weight of an officer on his neck the medical examiner is calling his death a homicide. was the oh. 000-0000 he's a week later terrence is here to memorialize his brother and to ask protestors to to manchester is the right way. to. drop. them here feet. where we are now. over. want to.

propel not only our marker known or we know the. coming out but one that has left wherever man all right. we were sort of left obsesses over. some of the sources over right protests have swept across the us fueled by anger and desperation george floyd isn't the 1st unarmed black man or woman to die and police custody but his slow death caught on video has sparked a movement people are demanding black americans be treated with the same humanity as whites. i can't i can't disappoint you. but this is. because according to our children. the demonstrations display unity and diversity but some of the been plagued with destruction and that u.s. president donald trump has taken a combative time. if the city or state we see uses to take the actions that have

this is served to defend the life and property of there is then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for the. derrick child and since dismissed from the police church it flits herder on friday but his brother says that's not enough. he wants all of the officers involved arrested and charged i just want to hurt us and. record low records. well let's bring in d.w.i. the ones in minneapolis for more fun you are there at the place where the white police officer kneeled on floyd's neck until he died in an outrage over a history of pleas for talented people what is the mood like where you are right now. it's quite jubilant very loose so to speak

people are having a great good time it's not a party don't get me wrong they're still very committed chanting george lloyd's name i can't breathe. for a typical battle cry which we have witnessed all week long the curfew here in minneapolis has been shrunk it has been made short of the curfew now. at 10 pm local that means 2 hours later than yesterday and the other days before so people are taking advantage of this here this is absolutely as you said the ground 0 of the ground 0 for what we experience here and across the united states for the last week. this is the spot where george floyd's actually died and i can tell you something else we have to look at around there's nobody who could actually imagine. imagine right now that police would actually dare to roll in here and disperse this crowd and in how many hours whatever whenever the curfew

starts so that would be probably. a very difficult thing to do in terms of that would probably ruin the image of the minneapolis police department entirely when they would go in here so that's not to be expected but were pretty long before right. however people here are still having a good time chanting the crowd is changing a little bit it was a family throughout the day a lot of kids family but people from all walks of life and all of the cities and all colors like asian americans african-americans white people latinos everybody now again and it's a changing slightly so the younger people now there's more people dressed in black coming up now but still goods are all around and all for and in the memory of

george floyd. stuff and we've also heard that a fresh autopsy has ruled floyd's death a homicide what can you tell us about that and how that news is being received. well yes there is a new independent autopsy report out now and that was initialized by the lawyers of the ford family because because of course the official autopsy report said nothing about the floor died here through immense pressure on his back and his neck which doesn't didn't allow oxygen and blood to flow to the brain this or this autopsy reports so clearly he died here because of those actions by those policeman and people here. well we knew that all along data used to fund the mines in minneapolis thank you for your reporting. well let's go to washington

d.c. now where anti-racist protesters demanding social change have been defying curfew to protest near the white house demonstrators peacefully marched on the national mall in the u.s. capitol after being shot at with rubber bullets police also have been using tear gas and a low flying helicopters in an attempt to disperse the protesters. well g.w.'s alexandra fund naaman is following developments for us from washington d.c. and near the white house alexandra what's the situation like where you are now. we are right now a few blocks away from the white house in that case street and the situation has calmed down here a little bit after the police cleared the streets with tear gas and rubber bullets as you can see on my left those police officers surrounded a small group of protesters most of them very young people some of them even kids i would say and know they are being arrested for defying breaking the curfew and you

can see the police cars here on the over the side but we know that the different places in. washington d.c. there are still protesters gathering defying the curfew to arrest being made an earlier police were firing tear gas at protesters in the street as you say as all this was happening president trump was speaking in the rose garden of the white house what did he have to say. well he talked a lot about restoring law and order across the u.s. and he. said he was threatening to deploy active u.s. military if the governors are not going to stop the violence he calls the violent protests act of domestic terrorism and even though he mentioned george clark that he was sickened by his dad he presented here he used

a speech to present himself as a law and order president and he didn't deliver the message to you may have expected you know the message that could have unify this name shouldn't nation and calm down the situation. all these anti-racist protests and trump's response are of course all happening in an election year in the united states how is all this likely to affect donald trump's performance in november. but we know there are some people within the administration some of his advisers are concerned that the president's inability to strike the right tone to unite than they should to send the right message may hurt his reelection chances but at the same time he himself seems to believe that stressing that she isa law and order a pull president would help him to get reelected however it is going to continue

this course it could be that he's going to to lose a very important voter groups such as women and independent voters. alexandra fundament in washington d.c. thank you. well let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world the united nations has made an urgent plea for more international aid for yemen is holding a virtual pledging conference for the war torn nation the u.n. says funds have dwindled forcing it to hold the majority of its programs in yemen as the country deals with the ongoing conflict and to the coronavirus pandemic. the democratic republic of congo has reported new cases of the deadly a bowl of virus the health ministry says 4 people have died in the north west of the country just as it was poised to declare the latest outbreak over it comes as the country battles with the coronavirus with over $3000.00 confirmed cases.
