a state calling protest sacred and accusing trump of using the holy scripture as a quote symbol of division. and let's bring in washington bureau chief alexander phenomena who is standing by for us near the white house alexandra threatening to bring in the military can he do that. well actually he has studios soroti to deploy the u.s. military to to end unrest to end violence t.v. disobedience he can invoke the so-called insurrection act that was passed in $1807.00 and it was invoked several times in the past the last time 1992 during rodney king on us in los angeles about in order to do so he actually has to be asked by the governors and so far no governor has requested to hold of the you

asked active you ass military and even within the pentagon there are voices voicing concern and saying that they feel growing does come forward by those threats saying that americans shouldn't get used to see uniform service members in the streets and that if it happens it could ask a late father of the situation we have seen an outpouring of criticism from the lack of leadership lack of consensus building from president trump including from you know his potential challenger in the presidential election joe biden the democratic presumptive presidential nominee. who is supporting trump right now is this all about his base. well i think that he's base is still supporting him he's a diehard supporters they love to see him as president of law and order how he presented himself yesterday but they he is. risking

to to lose other important voter groups like suburban women and independent voters by. being able to to address the root coast of the protests and by being apparently incapable of sending a unifying message to come forward nation in those very difficult times and we also have to say that he's way of trying to address christian conservatives yesterday when the 2 front of ministration decided to clear the streets near the white house to use tear gas on peaceful protesters just so the president could get his photo up at the sent jones church by 8 it cost a lot of anger and outrage also among religious leaders in the u.s. . alexandra phenomenon joining us from the having the view from washington thank

you so much. let's get more now on the situation in the united states we are joined by d.w. reporter stacey bevins who has been following the latest developments for us america angry right now we see protesters swarming the streets the vast majority of nonviolence but you know after nightfall we have these these these this violence which are rupp's and many areas you know some areas even looking like like war scenes of the united states how strong is the support for the protests it seems that overall that the support for the protesters is strong and especially among the black community in the united states because we know that there's a tale of 2 americas there's the one that we were taught about where you have the pursuit of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness happiness and then the america that we experience on a daily basis on a daily basis and even some and social economic status education doesn't matter and

i mean even someone like me can feel it i grew up in a predominantly white area in chicago and. my parents both are educators i have 2 degrees and i still know that even though on paper i might seem proper to certain people if i get pulled over by the wrong police officer on the wrong day i can be the next victim my name could be following a hash tag this is something that's profound in the black community and this is why so many people are supporting these protesters nobody is really saying that violence is a good thing nobody is saying that the destruction of cities and property is a good thing but activists will tell you that since the founding of the united states black bodies have been looted in that country and so what they're looking for is equality and what they're looking for is for people to put people above property to put black humanity above property and so that's what they're really

looking for and of course their critics too to these protests on both sides will have white black people who will say this is going to water down our cause this is going to make people afraid to stick with us and then you have white people and i've had conversations with them over the past several days who will say this is i was with you until this happened now i'm not this is nothing new in america knows that and you hear these quotes now just because you have been seeing it doesn't mean that it has not been happening. it's happened time and time again and it's this arc where you see an incident and you see the protests that follow do you feel like anything's different this time. yes and no i think that what's really been positive is for example we've had video of police officers who have bothered to stop and kneel with protesters or walk with protesters or white people who realize

that there seems to be more than black people standing in front of them on protest lines these these things are positive but on the other hand you have people who you know have been fighting for civil rights since the sixty's who say where have you been all this time it's great the police are out there now. walking with protesters but where was your voice 10 years ago 20 years ago 30 years ago there needs to be an accountability and there needs to be more white people taking advantage of their privilege to bring more humanity to more of america the wounds are so deep that discrimination has such a long history in this country so like it's really a painful moment that we're all witnessing on the streets of america right now and joining us with your view thank you so much. when i was police crackdown on the protests and journalists have also found themselves being targeted. take.

credit. for the price per hour were done during or are remembered for are. a magazine correspondent stefan's humans and he was shot at with rubber bullets in minneapolis over the weekend in a 2nd incident demons and his crew were shot at again as they tried to drive away from police he says that he has been harassed by police several times while reporting on the protests. germany's foreign minister heikal moss is weighing in insisting that journalists must be allowed to do their job reporting on the unrest in the us. to do it with regard to the incidents involving deutscher bella which of which we have also been made aware we would contact us or thora choose to find out more about the circumstances we remain
