george floyd in minneapolis the minnesota state human rights the parchman say's it will now investigate police conduct over the past decade nationwide huge crowds ignored the stay home orders to continue venting their fury over police brutality. well away from us shores there are being solidarity demonstrations from australia

to argentina while in europe rallies helping taking place in britain is sleaze sweden greece the netherlands. a major rally protesting george floyd's death is underway right now in central london let's cross there to correspondent shall be the study in the high park shadi of many miles of course from minneapolis but shared emotions out this time on that looks from where you are standing a big turnout despite the on mass gatherings to. absolutely i'm here in the heart of central london in hyde park west how to since the b.b.c. and sky news many mainstream media saying hundreds but i can confirm there are thousands of protesters here today all in solidarity with george clooney as you can name being chanted as i speak that man the black man was that man you die in police custody would have been stopped that meltdown is that i believe that it's minutes

and that the c.b.s. staff now here in central london we are of course in the middle of a look down scenario where still the official line is the only travel for us that should happen and completely i've heard him sing any mass gatherings as you can see it's a. day though it is almost simple to maintain that shrewd distancing measures right organizes brini trying to balance was everybody to try to keep that's a sure to say that he had not understood the key issue really is not just an issue because you know i could think that he'd see these campaign is these guys are saying that these brutality happened here as well we can look at other cases across the united kingdom from not ducted to sure break in these campaign is the same the police brutality also exists on the streets of the united kingdom it comes of course a statistic show that the metropolitan police have 4 times more likely to use excessive force against the guys and they are a white person a campaign is archaic systematic racism at the core of this city was stereotyping

ratio and i was devastation to get out but they are going to. get some assange was in the end i think these people think that that's something that the state failed to do was. president tom tom tweeted when the looting starts the shooting starts what did you think when you read that tweet i have. sketched to the self-imposed guidance not to comment on what president trying to says if i thought or indeed other world leaders is not really what my job is i perfectly understand people's right to protest what took place so obviously i will say i believe the protests should take place in a full and reasonable way. was. you know i think that was probably was right she was like i

was any kind of god i was that in there we have was a good week i have seen that you guys have a right to make rules that i think it was of set. thank you all right me selling millions of pounds but the right thing is going to take us to right through the many kids that they have been on the streets of america by and so i look you know i just think you can not sell any weapons that maybe are in kind of depression right and so many people are raising red flags that indeed they may because i have to thank god for nike and weeds and. you know. if this were any other leader in any other country in the world this is spend should have any such experts is the least we could expect from the british government in response to their actions and our historic alliance with the united

states is no reason to sure of that responsibility now. i think he meant to say i was. right but that was just i was and this was a was just as a phrase was i mean i was proud to say thank you thank you i was he was i think he was thanking me thank god let me die that was something that these kinds of causes keep great things. from a lawyer to hyde park in central london shall the reporting thank you. in washington d.c. 1600 extra troops have been deployed military vehicles seen all know the streets this cross. the atlantic again here thousands of people risking arrest by defying

curfew orders the white choice taking no chances a security cordons being erected outside officers reportedly have resorted to using tear gas and rubber bullets after protesters broke up the meantime a brazen attempt on looting over the west. this forklift was used to ram into an electronics retailer in california up to 20 businesses in moore of sustained damage since monday officials are blaming roving gangs who aren't local. but can he stay in new york stores are securing themselves wooden hoarding smashed windows no line the streets are prestigious shopping district some are going further like in this liquor store in the state of illinois where stuff are arming themselves and they will often takes us through why. risks erupting into something more dangerous. here's one thing the protests against

police brutality. law. however by night the protests take a much more violent war. lyndall ism moving and attacks on business owners many see this as an extreme expression of economic inequality obert. by looting bothers people so much more than knowing that across the country black men and women are dying the looting of america has been going on for over 40 years and the copra saw the ultra rich though some business owners are even willing to stand with the looters also properties are always can be replace but loss of life no definitely upset with the looting i don't think that looting is necessary. but i definitely

feel like something needs to be done you know to count up protect everybody says a large scale looting 250 buildings have been damaged in minnesota alone prompted members of george boyd's. family to call her home got destroyed stuff. rather than if they don't know nobody i don't know why i cannot testify i was stuck trying to get up in the schoolyard stuff. was. her eyes are nothing but violence breeds violence is the riots keep going the police response has gone as far as ramming cars and crowds amid this chaos business owners that decided to take their own security into their own hands in the most american way ok ok ok you right now you are. wrong you think i'm going to i would you know no no no no

no no the authorities have been openly suggesting store owners protect themselves with guns and if you try to break into their homes to still to set fires. i'm highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns armed vigilante groups are now patrolling the streets this is a take a neighborhood cops are out here you think you can rise or you know we're ready for the rest of these are police saying we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood this is how you do and all of this arrested for civil conflict across america caleb maupin with the report not everyone is out for themselves though this picture was taken a turn to russia restaurant in san diego in california where armed locals lined up to the fed and the premises the owner is among those who felt the need to be armed in the current circumstances he spoke to us about his experience. first of all 'd

'd on saturday the. heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasn't in our neighborhood but it was a neighborhood of loomis which was pretty close to us just maybe 6 miles outside of the town city limits where you know the the the protests started peacefully and then they started burning buildings i am mellow city and it pains me to see this piece which you see. young american young young black lives being lost or something stupid like this been avoided and the fact that you know people are looking doesn't help to cost us that's just my personal experience my personal opinion that there could be. could be better ways to go about this and then robbing small businesses because these people have nothing to do with it. sounds like we're only burning large corporations or banks. they're breaking in through a small business a small jewelry stores and these people already. probably have no money after the 2

months of coronavirus and now that people could lose their entire savings and become almost. well among some of the most life threatening violence during the protests emergency crews are having to deal with the rising. arson in the capital of virginia demonstrators torched cars on them and among the targets were a passenger bus on the for one building set ablaze early in the rioting was a residence where a child's life was put at risk by a mob which block fire fighters that. protesters here assert that those are apparatus sort of walked away with. and walked part of our back to the to the structure. inside the home or the top. officers were able to. help to drive a couple of people out of the house. we were just so far apart they are very.

let's delve into it a different aspect of what is going on the street is calling for an investigation into the rough humbling of a news team while covering the riots in washington a correspondent on camera man for 7 news were seen being assaulted while reporting life. around. now there. was a photographer that you would think oh oh. the press freedom watchdog the committee to protect journalists say there have been at least 125 violations against reporters during 3 days of the protests and also calculates that some 20 journalists are being arrested another media watchdog eliminate estimates excuse me 90 incidents involve the use of pepper spray rubber bullets as well in some cases

it's suspected that news crews are being deliberately targeted. i. believe this. is a. case. of what they say that shooting something like that. i'm sorry. i. just towards the end of q me of being able to hear the shots from an american journalist saying press she was working for the russian news agency sputnik near the white house describe to us how officers reacted knowing she was there to report on the fence. as actually just like us and

said i'm trapped and press and i was holding it right or and after and yelled i'm mad and they start shooting me with a variety of stinger and i have been. on my side on my torso and on my back and i also got hit with a rubber bullet in my and then this did not hesitate to use their right shields down to the ground but they also pushed me to the ground and i slid along after all and had a lot of abrasions on my side and they were very well aware that i was and this is a clear targeting of journalists many of. in a straight united states government have you know said about other countries that other countries don't have free press we are also concerned about the threats of violence against journalists which have a chilling effect on press freedom especially when they are not investigated or prosecuted we call for an immediate end to threats and for violence against journalists hope the rest of the world will follow our press freedoms and the great

things we do in the united states what i physically experienced from yesterday is that the us is all too willing credibly willing to visit violence upon journalists here and to try to silence journalists here am i start again it's other members of the press experiencing the same thing. more signs of the times literally a marked rise in graffiti have crossed the united states where rioters have sprayed police cars walls windows and pavements the tighe see a beat that's a drug free acronym aimed at the police while another numbered slogan is also trending right now it's a dig of a drug crime unit or to america's rick sanchez stretch police forces are really up against it. american politicians whether they're mayors or councilmen or senators or local officials or state officials or federal officials cannot get elected unless they say in their stump speech i will give you 10 more police officers for

your city the next one i will give you 20 more police officers and i'm going to give them bigger guns and i'm going to give them more cars the days of when young children in america had people who help them not become criminals have given way to a society where we almost encourage them to become criminals so then we can arrest them because after we arrest them we create another job not only do we have now more cops but now we can hire correctional officers the number of correctional officers the number of cops in america continues to go up and you know what's interesting you almost can't even put this on cops i know it's an easy week to feel horrible about police officers and be very critical of them but we put those people in that situation right we told them all we want you to do is go out there and arrest 2 people america has turned into a militarization zone a police state and we've done it with each politician who we voted for who decided

to take them additional budgets all over the world all over our country and shrink them down to almost nothing so they can create more space for more guns and more cops and more cop cars why in the hell in the united states of america are our police officers wearing camouflage around us and an army uniforms as if we were the enemy and that's a big part of the problem this we are the enemy and they are the authority. rick sanchez who will admit the tension chaos and uncertainty in the streets right now there are some glimmers of light protester in california run up to a police officer giving him a hug similar seems to include tookie while in philadelphia. several officers and members of the national guard knelt in front of demonstrators who cheered up on the .

list. of. rage and destruction fear and despair as the united states found itself in such a state of turmoil growing income inequality systemic racism or at least politics take your pick what is the difference between a protest and a riot is it accurate to say the us has become.

21 minutes past the hour let's start the program back in the u.k. because the number of deaths in britain from corona virus could be worse than the headline figures been suggesting by may the 22nd the government statistics office put the number at just over 40000 but when figures from health authorities local

governments as well around the u.k. are added in the number jumps to over 50000 fatalities the u.k. government's long been under scrutiny over its handling of the pandemic not least the hard toll the outbreaks taken on care homes for the elderly and those 15000 residents are known to have died from cope at 19 accounting for at least a 3rd of all registered we spoke to charlie williams charlie lost his father to the disease of the facility in. in the 100 we was told there's not we're not father's health deteriorates it a lurch it off family and we were told suspects it covered no one taking zoloft firsts bons was and we can same they said we can't because it now transformed the 1st floor twice lation unit and they're now receiving patients

from the hospital we were absolutely shot of here in this we was never informed that it's a small lisa coming up it's s. he said they can't test him which we found dark they said no i will test in the moment but we insisted he must be tested retested immediately and eventually monday a degree for him to be tested a few hours later my father by a one day april 20th. to come down manor care home that's where for new sailing and dying to say is that it followed all the official covert 19 safety guidance charley williams though describes his father's case as just one element of a major national scandal and ses the government should act fast. you know we have no doubt its government is responsible all over negligent manslaughter of my father we have no doubt this is love we have to stop an official

complaints and really drive to follow those complaints through this is only a small part of the national scandal here in the u.k. where our government has sanctioned all those homes to take him or her dissidents who have not been tested. and burned we have no doubt this is how our father. all called it lightly my father being this is something that has to be served to my father we are stunned as is many many of the families that. have contacted me now. moving on british soldiers are unlikely to face legal action for alleged crimes committed during the iraq campaign more than a 1000 cases were being looked at by police and also the u.k.

military's prosecuting authority but its chief has told the b.b.c. that all except one being dropped citing a lack of evidence the fact that cases cannot be prosecuted whether i have a geisha is of criminal conduct for many years ago is because of their detention we miss. well initially a team of investigators was set by the u.k. government to examine more than $3000.00 allegations of british war crimes in iraq which included murder and torture the group had been in operation for 7 years but its key solicitor was sacked for misconduct and dishonesty on the team was eventually shut down meanwhile the war crimes court in the hague opened its preliminary examination and concluded the allegations did have real grounds by that time british troops in iraq had repeatedly come under scrutiny.

the british government wants protection for former soldiers and veterans against historical allegations bill proposed 2 months ago what effectively put a 5 year limit on bringing prosecutions over british troops actions abroad beyond only exceptional cases would then be considered for investigation political analyst chris bambery believe serious war crimes shouldn't have any deadlines on reaching trial. i think there is considerable. mis feeling over this in

iraq itself where it really is felt that the occupation was itself a legal the iraqis suffered at the hands of the occupying forces british and american and then themselves the this is a whitewash the united states of course is not prepared to let its citizens and its service personnel face prosecution so the void that sort of way by bringing in this 5 year limit i think britain is again could go the route of the united states and now be concerned that that's a divergence in the state of affairs of other european nato and partners in other countries around the world serious allegations of war crimes can take a long time to surface or indeed the identification if the war crimes are serious there should not be a limited period of time in which they are pursued and could is does not fit with united nations. while votes are up of the stories making headlines around the globe this hour the team in london will be taking over the reins next in a run 30 minutes from now in the meantime stay in the know by checking other social
