11:03 pm
demonstration was never authorized with the police and not because of the coronado eyes officially at least but because the police was fearing and indeed that violence that is now happening in the u.s. could spread over to france because they had seen such messes messages on social media and that's exactly what happened tonight were there protesters that they are out in solidarity with the u.s. demonstrators but they also paid tribute to a black man who died in police custody in france tell us about him. yes it happened in 26 scene about 4 years ago my tare it for 24 year old young man living in the suburb north of paris was stopped by the police and the he ran away every time he didn't have papers on him and when they finally caught up when with him in. an apartment he was lying on the floor and 3 policemen sat on him and then later arrested him brought him to a nearby police station shortly after he was dead they call. an ambulance but these

11:09 pm
extended through sunday what does mayor de blasio what does he hope to achieve by extending this curfew well i think the key thing about the curfew is that it come down in time and so yesterday it started at 11 pm the curfew that's starting tonight and going on the rest of the way it's going to begin at 8 pm and i guess the hope there is that the large numbers of people peaceful protestors do that protesting in the daytime and get out and then that's going to make it easier for the police to be able to keep control of the situation if you have people in the city and some of these organized groups of protesters and this is information that comes from the police that some of the looting gangs the broken. stoltenberg arise and it's that. they were organized groups they're going to be easy to pick out and find out how to get. from the large big broad approach and that my also go to some of the organized protesters there are accusations and groups on the left
