in the investigation into george floyd now i've been here with protesters all afternoon i will say they have been wanting to remain very peaceful there was a couple skirmishes between a couple protesters going over that barricade and some police actually bring them down telling them they had to say behind that barricade now taking a look behind me i want you to see there is those these different lines if you can see through these protesters where you're going to have your time line of d.c. police but now the national guard and the military police are actually on that flight line now for veteran u.s. news when i go up to you host larry king told us the current political leadership is failing to handle the situation. i'm so sad and overall this because as a nation we seem to have progress and then we take a step back it amazes me the civil wars is over yet we're still racism in america is so saying what we need now is a leader to lead us down trump has no empathy and you've got to have empathy
4:06 am
at this time so we need a leader to take us forward without that and the sadness of what we see on the screen in washington blames the governors and it's all blame kicking around is just so damn sad so sad more the reaction to donald trump's threat to send in the military to quell the nationwide protests now british foreign secretary dominic rob says it's not their business to comment on washington's actions but some world leaders are scratching their heads of to trump previously condemned them for being tough on violence in their countries more on that from a senior correspondent were ghosty of human rights human lives see mulisch cheap nowadays look at what's happening we have police brutality systemic racism inequality riots on top of mass protests on top of an economic crisis on

enough trump wants to make an example you've got to arrest people you have to track people you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again you have to dominate or you'll look like a bunch of jerks the 1st amendment of the us constitution guarantees people's rights to peaceful protest to freedom of speech and to the right of the press to do its thing here's what the police think of that pain bulls and rubber bullets a literal slap to the face with little concern that they're shooting at a journalist or peaceful protesters filled at that time and time again but let's be frank police are under a huge pressure right is mean girl with the protesters looting and burning and egging everyone else on that they must be dealt with but like these. no where's the condemnation we want to see discussion of all of those tensions in america come
4:09 am

grievances tehran has responded with violence and by blaming those outside of the country naturally those usually on the receiving end of american lectures have not passed this opportunity to sleep america off proverbially speaking china tweeting the snooping of the protests in america i can't breathe and others joining in on this chorus of counter condemnation to the american people their walled has got hurt your outcry over it is the it operation the wall deuce standing. america this year is pursuing violence and bullying at home and abroad. why does the us glorify hong kong riotous as heroes and warriors while calling those us people who protest against racism right since the us blames restraint and civilized law enforcement while threatening to shoot protestors and mobilizing national security in the us us practice our world famous
4:11 am
double standard what they don't get is america is exceptional if said it plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included then it never did it's the state that's exceptional those in power the police the military they're exceptional the american people now to them you would just like everybody else. private post-mortem examination arranged by george floyd's family found that he died from asphyxiation as a result of compression to the neck it's in contradiction then to the preliminary findings which claimed preexisting medical medical conditions as the cause of death the autopsy also ruled that george floyd's death was homicide while noting that he was intoxicated at the time and he had heart disease the video of floyd pleading with the officer kneeling on his neck that he couldn't breathe has now been shared

4:14 am
they're going to die embracing the protesters my desk goodbye because the police are human too the solution is building up a relationship with each other and also seeing the human factor that that doesn't that also exist. is a part of this equation and i served as a police officer myself for 24 years here in washington d.c. and i witnessed police brutality about some of the people that i worked with there were several cases that i was involved in because i reported police officers for all this misconduct and told his challenges it's about time that we have some i would say several into bench and then it because it just makes sense that this should be some federal standards associated with police behavior in our citizens

4:17 am
remain in power for his current terms over the vote is one of several events disrupted by the current pandemic so things that have to be a little different as house gets a little bit earlier. we know that of course as a result of coronavirus numerous some political issues have to be put on the back but now here in russia 2 major events were postponed the fos being the famous victory day parade that for the 1st time in 25 years didn't take place on the 9th of may the 2nd being the referendum on changes to the constitution and that was initially set to take place on the 22nd of april but that 900 gripped the country it was indefinitely to late however on monday at a press conference president putin announced the nationwide vote will be going ahead on the fust of july so let's listen to exactly why but date was chosen. long
4:18 am
the 1st of july looks like the right day for holding the russian constitutional referendum 1st of all from a legal angle this date is perfect if we announce today that voting will take place in exactly 30 days it will give people an opportunity to go back to the proposed amendments once again and to determine their attitude towards them secondly is the situation with the corona virus infections improves in the fight against the epidemic there is an opportunity in the next 30 days to take extra steps to upgrade the situation now this of course has been in the works for a while now back in january we saw a major shake up in russian politics including the appointment of a new prime minister and it was back then the flotsam of putin proposed essentially a constitutional oval hole and since then the changes put forth has been approved by both houses in parliament meaning that now it just needs to go for a final say to the people so let's take a quick look at what exactly what amendments the russian people will be free to come july fust.
4:19 am
now what direction do we expect the vote to swing and while a recent poll found that 61 percent of those also will vote in favor of the changes so that sort of gives you an idea now of course 2021 to be 2028 without a few social distancing measures and in order to conduct the referendum safety which is of course the priority some regions will be able to vote online others potentially useful from the home as for the polling stations themselves while
4:20 am
there's a maximum of 8 people will be able to post that ballots. and that will of course be disposable one time use pans as well as temperature scans so it's definitely going to look a bit different but either way a sign that things are normalizing and that the country is moving on from this health crisis and beginning to address all that business. hundreds turned out on sunday for the funeral of a disabled palestinian man who was killed by israeli police he had died on saturday in jerusalem well on his way to a special needs educational facility israeli police suspected him of caring a weapon after he failed to obey orders to stop they then opened fire but it was later confirmed that it was an armed this family's been describing how the tragedy unfolded. that. he was just a peaceful boy who was heading to school for students with special needs he always took the same route for the last 6 years and his teacher previously introduced him
4:21 am
to the officers of the police station nearby so they knew him they saw him passing by all these years their surveillance cameras were seeing him every day too soon as that policeman brought my son to the school's gate oh ok. boy he got scared he was kneeling for the policeman and his teacher was also standing beside him trying to explain that the boy had disabilities and that he had an id card to prove it but they pushed his teacher away and then killed my son shot him multiple times while he was kneeling is then that they have forced a yes they dare to tell me my son had a gun my son was afraid of the needle would keep carrying a gun he didn't even know the days of the week or the dates all those simple things he just couldn't understand how can you call such a person a criminal or terrorist he was disabled and he should have had more protection then every rich person and yet he was executed in cold blood while the news that he went to a special school which also was an international facility. around 200 people gathered near jerusalem's police headquarters on sunday to protest years killing comparing
