and the scourge of police brutality. going to this incident specifically the officer who knelt on george floyd has been charged with 3rd degree murder. i'm going to ask you to go down the rabbit hole with me just a little bit if you don't mind is there any chance he'll be sentenced. it's possible it generally does not happen. but i think we have to think the protesters you know everybody says they want peaceful protests but i am convinced unless the night before he was finally arrested protesters burned down a police precinct in minneapolis and i am convinced that it is that kind of action which drove them to arrest him they are trying to modify the public but if the public does not show its anger there is no action taken so we have to think the protesters we have to thank the people who burned that precinct we have to think the people who protested outside the home of the prosecutor who the day before

indicated that he was not ready to make an arrest all of these pressures cause the arrest to take place and that pressure must be sustained and if it is if they are afraid of losing control then it's possible he can be convicted but i think it depends on the people and what the people do let's talk about the people and those protesters a little bit more the minnesota governor has said that violence is no longer just about georgia floyd's death do you think the protests are being downplayed by the politicians or getting lost as the rioting grows in intensity or they inextricably linked. oh the politicians are trying to downplay and dismiss but we should not be fooled these up and by the way these protests have broken out across the country all over the united states the anger not only about this man but about the conditions that people live in. that with this coping 1000 pandemic people out of

work. and we had it and the economy is not as strong as americans are led to believe people are suffering and so in order they but they want to make sure people don't protest anything they don't want people to protest against mr floyd's killing or anything in this country so course they're going to downplay it but i think it's important also to say that spontaneous. actions are not good enough we need organizing sustained organizing too so that we don't react every time there's a new outrage that we see on video and a group by i'm affiliated with black alliance for peace our campaign no compromise no retreat we are demanding that politicians cut the military budget that they stop militarizing the police that they investigate all cases of lethal force in

this country and that is why we are organizing so that people can sustain this pressure and really make change so that when there is. that we are not just reacting to the most outrageous seen outrageous thing that someone manages to video you've outlined a good path to getting the protesters off the streets what about. the vicious cycle that continues will there be consequences for the looters and the arsonists. and how will that play out. i need i don't know how that's going to play out i'm not worried about the consequences for people who protested i'm going to call it a rebellion there are people may say rioting looting i don't really care i'm not concerned about the consequences for them i'm concerned about the consequences for the police and for this system that is so corrupt that is why they're trying

to get people off the streets that is why they're telling people not to protest anymore because they know that the fact that people rise up like this means they want to be organized they want to know what to do about their lives and about this country and the goal of the politicians is to make people quiet again and to meet people passive again so we should not listen to them when they say don't protest when they say go back home as i said before that this 1st step of charging this. officer would never have happened without this public protest and we should remember that when ever these politicians and these other so-called leaders tell people to stay all right very interesting to hear your thoughts. and thank you for your insight margaret kimberley a columnist for the black agenda report website thanks for being with us here on art international thank you. all right the governor of minnesota claims that some

of the violence was no longer about george floyd on this video you can see a man it trying to burn the american flag that's happening in los angeles while in atlanta news outlet c n n's office was attacked by rioters. you are not in the newsroom this is you know project across the job some people are laughing some people are videotaping or something on fire chris a firecracker if not why are. you all right there ok. big crowd gathered outside the building to condemn the channel's coverage of the current event there was a high placed presence in the area that has come up and looks now at how the coverage compares with the protests in baltimore some years back. shocking footage has emerged of protesters breaking windows forging buildings and clashing with police thousands of taken to the streets to protest against the recent killing of george floyd by police protests have spread far beyond minnesota all across the

country clashes are taking place across american streets that. i think you know. i think i minnesota's governor tim waltz has declared a state of emergency i am answering our local leaders request for minnesota national guard assistance to protect peaceful demonstrators neighbors and small businesses in minnesota. president trump has promised to seize control of

minneapolis and says that there will be shooting if there is more looting the tweet was flagged and suppressed because twitter said it was more of find violence these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen just spoke to governor tim walz and told him that the military's with. any difficulty and will assume control box when the looting stands the shooting starts thank you u.s. attorney general has been deployed to investigate the actions of the officers who took lloyd's life i feel very very. badly it's a very shocking sight bill and i were talking about it before it's one of the reasons bill's here right. because as you know we're very much involved and i've asked attorney general f.b.i. and the attorney general to take a very strong look and to see what went on liberal leaning american media as declare the killing of george floyd and the protests that erupted in its aftermath

it into a long pattern of police brutality racism and the government ignoring the concerns of african-americans we do begin with breaking news we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world fires are still burning on the southside of minneapolis after protesters took to the streets to demand justice for george floyd how do you raise your children in this america today i'm not sure there is an answer necessarily although. you point to angela davis who says it's not enough to be non racist you have to be anti racist however the same media seemed far less sympathetic in 2015 after baltimore lit up in response to the police killing of freddie gray was. in 2015 the concerns of the african-american community seemed to be the last thing the american media was concerned about while artsy was covering the protests c.n.n.

was covering a fancy dinner at the white house the streets of baltimore are filled with protesters hey everyone's wining and dining and this is happening 5060 miles away so you can't ignore that now. you can't ignore that. and yet that it's important i do want to get to the red carpet da from us media finally got around covering the protests for trade simply violent ground clashing with the police showing the protesters to be more or less violent hoodlums a handful of protesters handful of criminals and thugs who who tore up the place isn't it the right word so calling on thugs just call them they just call them at least 15 police officers have been hurt 200 arrests 144 of vehicle fires that these are statistics local place are put out 15 structure fires there's no excuse for

that kind of violence right so what changed why is u.s. media suddenly concerned about african-american is it perhaps that u.s. president donald trump is widely used to being a racist those protests back in 20 seen in baltimore did not fit the liberal narrative that iraq obama was leading us toward the post racial era i think if you look historically at the mainstream media and other things that have had. happened they haven't reacted this way and it makes you wonder just why are they giving this so much coverage in the way that they are it's the angle of the coverage and i think like many i believe that it may have a lot to do with elections and the political narrative right now and that's incredibly wrong turning this into something where we're allowing people especially these extreme leftists to come in and start fires i think we're actually feeding into a much darker narrative it's not about this man's death and that's unfortunate it's

a battle actions while many are deeply concerned about the killing of an innocent man it seems that powerful forces are not afraid to push their own political agenda it will mop and party new york earlier on saturday a former new orleans mayor blamed for an actors for the riots while appearing on c.n.n. we need to understand and we need to know because what they suggested i saw all because of a report we did our state of black america report with the russians did. if you're leaving social media donald trump took to twitter to comment on those accusations saying that the fake news media was up to their old tricks again we spoke to george sam wyly and from the london global policy institute and a philosopher and analyst both believe it was inevitable that russia would be made a scapegoat. well it was entirely to be expected i was wondering how long it would

take for the mainstream media to find a russian angle the people who are presenting this whole russia is to blame that event mean they still haven't got oh but 2016 is still a replay of the same. trump russia collusion story for which there's been no evidence whatsoever and on the country all the evidence is pointed against it traditionally when there are these riots public opinion swing still wards the law and order candid it and therefore there is a fear among the c.n.n. and m s n b c called me senti that this will wreak down to the political advantage of donald trump and i think there is an attempt to. want this suggests no no no i mean if this isn't violence that's being perpetrated on the streets by black life map or

by anti thought no no no this is this is about all about russia and we know who russia is really supporting donald trump so therefore it's russia who jane and donald trump together want to blame for the violence not black lives matter and keep hope precisely for the cities or you have to you cannot trust any more of most of the mass media channels in the united states you get better coverage from all for an open slick are dealing with other sort of for example a bold what is happening through in the united states and both in justice to my knowledge of. african-american or hispanic or even asian women minorities are facing in the united states so c.n.n. is a symbol for many people fall for you know began as a liberal news. it is a symbol actually of great emotion and mainstream. oh it will stay should all

television stations in the united states. donald trump and twitter have locked horns on friday a tweet by the president about the riots in minnesota was hidden by the social platform in the tweet trump slammed of the writers in minneapolis saying that the military supports the governor also warned that if there was looting there would be shooting twitter says the post violates its rules about a glorifying violence parties don't quarter picks up a story for us. donald trump and twitter are clashing swords it all started with the president's tweet about mail in voting his claim that they could lead to fraud was slapped with a fact check labeled by the social media giant and now trumps dishing out some executive punishment what they used to fact check and what they choose to ignore or

even promote is nothing more than a political activism group or political activism and it's an appropriate the executive orders targeted at major social media platforms and aims to trim down legal protections that have long let these companies censor content without liability however trump's liberal opposition seems to think the president is giving this debacle way too much attention trump is out there to do the good this morning conference and treaty we don't yet know how exactly trump's order will make any legal difference but he's clearly sending a message that these social media corporations do not have a monopoly on truth strangely enough an unlikely ally has come forward to support trump a leader from the very industry that he's at odds with but i don't think. facebook or forms in general should be arbiters of truth i think that's kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of deciding what is what is true and what

isn't. and i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy and people should go to see what politicians say at the same time facebook announced it's now verifying the identities of important people in its war on distant from asian what a coincidence a number of democrats have already called zuckerberg out for what they saw as pandering to trump as far as it platforms are concerned they want 2 things from the federal government no regulation and no taxes and so they cater to the trumpet ministration all the time i think that my telco barrack's statement was a disgrace suck about this not worried about being bullied by trump he. more into facebook's p.r. operation is falling apart as it's exposed that pop form relies on white supremacists and disinflation packages to be successful they are ignoring them that protecting them the liberals are fighting a 2 front war though both against trump and twitter one of their latest weapons

against the platform is a watchdog group called accountable tech it was founded by a former aide to the obama administration and another influential liberal activist they say the organization exists to combat what it considers misinformation accountable tackle push for social media pet phones to take immediate meaningful and achievable actions to better serve the public and leave up to their founding ideals at least republicans and democrats can agree on mistrusting social media criticisms of platform bias have come from both political parties these people are all democrats it's totally biased toward democrats if i announce tomorrow that i'm going to become a nice liberal democrat i would pick up 5 times more problems than the we can people know that the president has no qualms about lying to them but it is a shame to sit with sources of news for millions do the same new elections are on america's doorstep and both parties are competing for the all encompassing control

over information that social media provides the sad part is that whoever wins it seems like someone's freedom of speech will be going out the window we discussed the issue with jena louden a conservative media personality she feels the government needs to step up and step in against twitter and protect fundamental rights. our basic rights as americans can't be taken and our basic rights are numerated in our bill of rights which includes our 1st amendment rights of free speech and so when our 1st amendment right to free speech as a numerated in the bill of rights was trampled by the platform then it is the responsibility of our government to step in and assure that and that's what president executive order was doing was stepping in to assure that the american people's rights of free speech was not being trampled and so i believe that's the vein and the spirit in which the executive order was exacted you know the

interesting thing is even joe biden agrees even democrats agree in many cases that they believe they've been discriminated against in certain instances on some of these platforms so it's one of these things that's actually kind of a bipartisan issue this isn't really just donald trump that thinks that these platforms are biased there are many other other people on the other side of the aisle that think that these platforms do a disservice. retaliate tory measures against the u.s. if washington doesn't stop interfering in chinese internal affairs this comes as china moves to impose a new security law on hong kong and a bid to quell unrest in the territory this has prompted donald trump to revoke the region's special status. china has replaced its promise formula of one country 2 systems with one country one system therefore i am directing my administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give hong

kong different and special treatment my announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with hong kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions while this week protest as was shouting hong kong it's not china we are special while waking up this saturday at the face of this stuff a reality that in the eyes of the u.s. company is not quite as special as it used to be because on friday president trump and now to a series of punitive measures against china including revoking such a trade privileges that hong kong has enjoyed for almost 3 decades now very few details were actually given but apparently it's an end to that preferential treatment that has allowed the region to flourish as a business center the moment he takeaways from friday the u.s.

will now deny entry to chinese nationals suspected of having ties to the military or about snooping on research being done in an american your prostitute and a found favorite of the trump ministration of course sanctions will be imposed on those chinese i'm home con officials that washington believes off those of freedom the united states will also take this is serious steps to sanction p.r.c. and hong kong officials directly or indirectly involved in eroding hong kong's entente to me and so and just if you take a look smothering absolutely smothering hong kong's freedom. our actions will be strong our actions will be meaningful now this all comes up to china green a controversial piece of legislation for hong kong and state the national security law and that will ban trees and terrorism any behavior that threatens national security beijing's move triggered mass protests this week and culminated in the

arrest of around 300 people and states like the ones being lambasted as undermining hong kong's autonomy but while washington claims that it supports and katz about the anti china protests in hong kong these very new matches actually cause precisely the outrage hong kong to suffer the most so they'll no longer be able to travel visa free to the u.s. we need them for tenchi stamp and that and if companies get cold feet and say you know what it's just 2 months in hong kong at the moment i'm going to move my office elsewhere well but if you had jobs unless foreign investment meaning that home comes reputation as an international financial hub is in jeopardy and a final major moment in friday's speech was that the u.s. would be severing all ties with the world health organization perhaps not a surprise considering that donald trump has consistently accused the w.h.o.

of being involved in a massive cover up with china regarding the creative arts pandemic chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the world health organization and pressured the world health organization to mislead the world when the virus was 1st discovered by chinese authorities critics say these are all just political games trump is trying to generate new headlines and detract from his mishandling of the pandemic that has claimed over one 100000 american lives after all let's not forget 2020 is election year donald trump wants to look decisive and strong as we inch closer to november 3rd. and palms 7 shown us that trump supporters really think rally around him when there's an enemy whether that's crooked hillary or c.p. joe biden so having a tough stance on china might well help him in the polls and yet at the same time he didn't want to do anything so tough are you withdrawing from the u.s.

trade deal that would hinder america's economic recovery and potentially jeopardize his reelection chances now whatever the reason and this is going to be met with huge anger in beijing with many expect you call us retaliation but some that are not predicting that china will crack down on this one i don't think they will succeed in using any means to threaten the hong kong government because we believe what we are doing is right so that's the latest downturn in the rocky relationship between these 2 nations here prolong trade will spot blame game when it comes to cope with 19 and now hong kong is apparently in the middle i might well end up as collateral damage in this rivalry between us and china earlier we spoke to joseph gregory mohan a professor of politics at the east china university who is not surprised by trump's decision. it's part of a longstanding trend where trump never misses an opportunity to hit china and in

fact you know although this is being. framed as the end of kong in fact hong kong was already being treated as part of china by the drop in ministration was already suffering in many respects some of the trade war so this is really not that big of a development it's it's it's a dramatic statement but it was expected i think at this point we really ought to understand that anything that hurts china hurts hong kong and anything that hurts hong kong hurts china hong kong's position over time has always been in large measure even when it was part of the u.k. was its closeness and ability to to work with china even even during the mao years but unfortunately china has been victims are scuse me hong kong has been victimized many times over by this there are real problems that have driven local anger but these have in term been exploited by outside forces people who are opposed to the taiwan unification trump administration who wants to use this is

a pressure point on china so unfortunately all of this is going to hurt hong kong. switching gears now space is cool musk's company space x. has launched 2 nasa astronauts into space on its own rocket the launch had originally been scheduled of for last wednesday but it was postponed due to the bad weather conditions just minutes before liftoff is the 1st time nasa has collaborated with the private sector in this way the 2 on board astronauts are now on their way to the international space station is the 1st time in 10 years that u.s. astronauts have launched from home soil since 2011 american space explorers have been hitching a lift with russian spacecraft. and i will be back in let's say 3 and a half minutes with another full look at your news you are watching our international stories.

think is this is the fun that is a compliment. violent confrontations with the police buildings torched and looting across the united states as americans vented their rage for a 4th day over the deaths in police custody of george for. the people that. we don't hold your partner accountable this is it. from l.a. to new york riot police use anti crowd tools in clashes with protesters as sporadic violence.
