have agreed to ban police show coals and require officers to intervene any time they see an authorize force by another officer. our correspondent stephan simons has been covering the story in minneapolis this morning i'm standing cripps became one of the most significant places in the united states where the just booked 2 weeks these were george 4 dogs and here is where people come every day still to celebrate his life and the warnings that he was also where people come now and say they will start a movement a movement they say which will grow through the united states which will try to change this is slightly in this country getting rid of police brutality and also stand the racism in this country. people say they have to get organized they have to get better but it's all about communicating for them to push this envelope to go forward it is about your choice still but all of this they say has become much much

bigger. elsewhere in the united states protests have been taking place from coast to coast for another day in new york protesters defied a curfew on friday evening the demonstrations are now mostly peaceful in stock contrast to last weekend's violence in many cities across the country in chicago hundreds of people have been demanding that the city's police force be defunded and demilitarized. u.s. president donald trump has sparked fresh outrage after suggesting george floyd would be pleased with his administration's performance made the comments at a press conference focusing on better than expected employment numbers. say his name a common chant by protests is remembering victims of racist violence but this isn't what they intended to trump referenced george floyd as he praised his administration's economic achievements hopefully george is looking down right there

and say this is a great thing that's happening for a country there's a great day for him it's a great day for everybody this is a great day for everybody this is a great great day. in terms of equality. just 6 his spokesman later said trump was referring to the national conversation about equality trump also said deaths like floyd's shouldn't happen again. but his democratic rival joe biden said trump's off script remarks showed the president was out of touch. with speaking of a man who was brutally killed by an act of needless violence and by a larger tide of injustice it has metastasized on this president's watch for the president to try to put any other words in the mouths of george florey i frankly think it's despicable. words carry weight now the mayor of washington d.c.

. as the staring and of course awkward comments and statements about my skin color . that you cannot move around the city as a black person without being aware of your skin color on average there are $3.00 to $4.00 racist incidents reported per day in the german capital according to the berlin register for discrimination and not everyone is reporting them so there could be far more. that's why the black hawks matter movement has also been protesting here in berlin well europe has fewer deadly incidents involving the police some cases have stayed with me again you know it's not that long ago only giallo burned to death in the police cell here in germany in 2005 no one was convicted for his death. in the u.k. in 2011 mark duggan was shot by

a policeman who was never convicted. in france adama died during police custody in 2016 and no one has been found responsible for his death that's why the protests in france have been violent. people are frustrated with structural racism. hasn't really dealt with its links to slavery and school. here in germany several streets i named after individuals from the country's colonial period i can berlin's african quarter where. even now some streets bear the names of germany's most infamous and new figures whether it's history or everyday racism black people's experiences are being ignored and that's why i'm also prostrated we need to address every day racism and also the past because that's the only way to move forward.
