Now the democratic governor of the u. S. State of washington has accused donald trump of fermenting domestic rebellion and spreading lies after he signaled support for conservatives protesting against lockdown rules hundreds have joined rallies across the country demanding an end to the shutdown lets take a look at his tweets the president urged his supporters on twitter to liberate 3 states a day after he said its up to governors to decide just when and how to ease restrictions and he gallagher has more from miami. This is the president really playing politics because guess what all 3 of those states have democratic governors there are protests in other states like utah and also here in florida in orlando the president is clearly playing politics here when he was asked about it at his latest press conference he said look those people are being treated rough thats clearly not the case people in all of the states across the entire country are following the c. D. C. Guidelines are supposed to social distance to prevent the spread of the coronavirus what youve got here is an ideological split between conservatives who want to see businesses reopen who think that the cure may be worse than the disease itself and then youve got the democratic governors who are trying to very slowly reopen carefully doing this by watching the medical advice by looking at the numbers vitally so the president is very aware of who is talking to the people on the streets in those 3 states michigan minnesota and virginia i was all wearing my go hat some of them carrying guns they are trumps base so that so hes speaking to he was never going to walk those comments back despite the fact hes been criticized by members of his own party you know the conservatives say look you simply cannot do this jay inslee the governor of washington saying look this could incite violence we are at a very critical juncture in this country right now there is a plan to slowly reopen things its going to be science based thats what the president himself said and here he is backing up far right people armed people on the streets of these 3 states saying that theyre being treated roughly in a so its clear what the president here is doing but its also clearly pretty irresponsible at this moment in time theres a great deal of pressure for people to get back to work those 22000000 people have now filed for unemployment there is a desire to do that but to do that carefully so youve got President Trump on one hand saying hey governors you get to call the shots and then on the other hand tweeting out the.

Pursuit of those who are believed to be behind this attack is definitely ongoing we have been talking to officials on the ground where they said basically pursuit operations are well underway but what is expected though is the situation to basically meet become even more difficult in the coming days or weeks what weve seen in the past though when a situation like this happens that more troops are deployed on the ground the stricter measures are imposed and basically more officers troops are needed to be deployed in basically in this area so what were seeing basically according to the government were hearing reports that maybe in the coming hours perhaps that some of the bodies of these troops of these soldiers may be flown to manila by tonight or early to morrow morning but what this means though basically is that this big this attack is the biggest attack that theyve had in salute for over a year now and it really shows that the resources of the Philippine Military is stretched at the moment.
