With 19 of the fact that there are now you know 41000000. 00 plus americans out of work the economy has been shut down across the United States and this isnt a listen Election Year so the u. S. President has been long pointing the finger not just at china but also with the World Health Organization now he has made official what he has threatened to do for some time and that is to pull the funding a big deal because of course the United States is its largest donor and the argument from this president is that it this is a body that is the china centric he also in this press conference in the rose garden was very critical of china essentially accusing it of malfeasance is what he said saying that it has not done enough to prevent the spread and now is not even being transparent about the origins of the virus so thats headline number one number 2 a big one here and that is taking action against chinese nationals that come to the United States that are working in universities theres long been a suggestion here in the United States that this is being used as a method of espionage even if these folks coming from china are essentially students that the government of china has essentially employed them if you will to bring this knowledge that is gained in u. S. Universities back to china whether they want to cooperate in that manner or not also taking some strict action when it comes to Financial Markets essentially saying that Chinese Companies listed on u. S. Financial markets that there are hidden risks with that to the u. S. Players and investors in asm. Result action being taken there against those Chinese Companies preventing them from having the same rights on the Financial Markets as u. S. Companies and then finally the big headline we were watching for in all of this is the fact that the United States this week the u. S. Secretary of state certifying to congress that it was the view of the United States that hong kong was not autonomy despite the joint declaration that was put in place that essentially kept hong kong as a freedom of democracy except this is something that the United States says is not the case now that National Security law that its been adopted makes it all but impossible in the eyes of the United States for the socalled special treatment that hong kong has enjoyed and this is significant because what this means is that sort of export controls travel advisories those sorts of things are now going to be outdated to be consistent with what the state department has and holds for china not looking at hong kong separately and then develop very last bit of that is that it sounds as if there is action under way to sanction specifically some chinese officials no i did not hear what the u. S. President said specifically with regard to whether he named any names i dont think he did but it sounds as if something is for cut forthcoming the last interesting thing about this Rose Garden Press Conference and correct me if im wrong because like i said we were in a bit of a transition from doha to london but what i think happened is that the president didnt take any questions thats a very big deal in fact my photographer kevin is nodding there thats right no questions you know why thats a big deal because theres a very big story weve been covering here on aljazeera of course it involves the end rest in the state of minnesota and the murder of george floyd of course now there has been a Police Officer that has been arrested the u. S. Media wanted the latest reaction not just on that story but also on the fact that the u. S. President has had another one of his tweets will. Regard to this issue flagged by twitter and has been accused of promoting violence the white house does deny this accusation this would have been an opportunity for the president to speak directly to the American People of both of these issues instead he chose to walk out yet kimberly youre absolutely right that he didnt take any questions on particular the minnesota story and im just looking here at my twitter feed and a lot of journalists really stunned that he walked out without answering reporters questions but as youre saying weve seen him tweets quite a number of times on the issue and his tweets have certainly garder the lot of attention. Yeah and there is a really 2 prong story the 1st part is the incendiary nature of the tweets the 2nd part maybe that has less importance than the headlines right now is the battle of censorship and the battle of this white house is taking in an Election Year with twitter and vice versa but with regard to the incendiary nature of the tweets the fact that the president earlier today used the wording of the 960 s. Police chief back in 1967 in miami that ive tried to grab in front of me but essentially it said something to the effect of when the looting starts the shooting starts i hope i have that exactly correct the bottom line is in all of this that the white house says that the president was not glorifying violence when he tweeted that but that is exactly what twitter says he did in violation of their protocols thats why when they flagged it the 1st time in the president s tweets and the white house read tweeted this on an official account they did it once again and in fact we should point out that president obama has weighed in on this of course predecessor to donald trump saying that essentially this should have been normal in 2020 america falls on all of us to create a new normal which the legacy of bigotry and i think will treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts and i should follow that up with joe biden his Vice President now running to replace donald trump potentially in the white house come november also responded saying that incendiary tweets dont help the stain of racism has been here for a long time this is what reporters wanted to talk to the president about to get his reaction but as you point out he had that opportunity he didnt take it he walked away just as reporters tried to question him ok kimberly well leave it there for now thank you very much for the time being so as kimberly mentioned the minneapolis Police Officer who kneeled on the neck of an unarmed black man who died has now been charged with his murder jared children hand. Himself into police after 3 days of violent protests over the death of george floyd the entrance to a Police Station in minneapolis was set on fire while arson looting and vandalism seen across this city on the small crowd of demonstrators also gathered near a home belonging to the Police Officer in florida minnesotas governor has pleaded for calm and promise justice will be served lets get an update from Allison Herrera shes a journalist in minneapolis joining us live from there thanks for your time with us again alison so whats the reaction in the city now that the officer who has been taken into custody and now hes been charged with 3rd degree murder. All right apologies alison if you can hear me ill have to just move away from you for just a moment because the audio connection does not seem to be a stable one but youre looking at live pictures right now from minneapolis where you can see Police Officers state patrol standing right there we will try and bring back Allison Herrera in just a moment as soon as we establish a secure connection with her for the time being well tell you about a c. N. N. Reporter a black c. N. N. Reporter who has been arrested live on television while he was covering the protests in minneapolis. Will why im under arrest or. Why why am i under arrest. So Police Officers gave no explanation as they arrested omar jimenez and his camera crew on friday morning the reporter had just shown a protester being detained when about half a dozen white Police Officers surrounded him and he and his crew or at least an hour later the governor of minnesota has apologized to the broadcaster for the incident its so often he was released omar jimenez said he was relieved the arrest was on live television. It did cross my mind that what what is really happening here and the one thing that gave me a little bit of comfort was that it happened on live t. V. Theres been this you know when you talk within the community about lets just say whats happened with george floyd theres always a discussion that whats happening isnt new its being films and that speaks to the power of having something happen on camera because you can have people speak up for you without you saying anything and that gave me a little bit of comfort knowing that you guys saw what was happening i was living what was happening and the country was seeing what was happening unfold in real time right before their eyes you dont have to doubt my story its not filtered in any sort of way you saw it for your own eyes so that was omar him and i speaking earlier lets not go back to Allison Herreras whos joining us from minneapolis alison i hope you can hear us clear our now you were telling us about where you are and particularly if theres been any reaction in the city to news that the officer has now been arrested and charged with 3rd degree murder. There are. I think theres some. People you know a long many. King. You know their support i mean front of the business right now a lot about 10 blocks south of where the Police Precinct building was burned i think theres some relief but i think that theres also a call for the other 3 officers that were there with derrick show been to also be also to be arrested thats what ive been reading on my social media feed and thats what ive been hearing from some people hearing anything at all about what will happen with these 3 Police Officers what are the next that. I havent heard anything it quite yet about that so all i know is that character of him the man the former Police Officer who had news media on george has going to rest safe and charged with their degree murder and manslaughter and tell us what youve been seeing around the city because of course overnight we did see pictures of protests and people very angry having Police Presence what are you seeing right now. Right now well but out something about 8 oclock this morning i went down to where theyre precinct building was burned theres a number of Small Businesses that are along there those have also been burned the post office has also been burned i talked to a Business Owner of a dry cleaner they were cleaning out their business trying to salvage what they could there is an apartment complex thats right near the post office and a lot right near where a lot of the looting is you know people are really angry and upset and the emotions are really raw im standing in front of a business right now whose whose windows were vandalized but theyre cleaning up and there was a number of people out suiting up glass you know picking up trash so while there is a lot of well emotions i think that there is a call for people to come out and support that community along eastlink street so what kind of sense are you getting about what the next few hours will bring you. I think it really depends on what the governor and i think the governor has declared state of emergency were waiting to see if hes going to what kind of curfew hes going to impose i know one of the criticisms from last night was that there was no police or Army National guard presence around the businesses that were looted and burned so im going to expect to see them more out in force there was some criticism about a lack of unified response but i think you know judging from what i heard from the press conference this a couple of hours ago that the governor is i think taking steps to make sure make sure that there is a more unified response if there is a meeting and more writing this evening ok allison thank you very much also herrera speaking to us from minneapolis where we just heard the u. S. President talking about eliminating special treatment for hong kong in response to chinas plans to impose new security legislation in the territory earlier china said they would take any necessary measures if it feels the u. S. Is interfering in Hong Kong Affairs. Me with him though the u. S. Has significant interests in hong kong we urge the u. S. To have a clear view abut the situation and to stop interfering in Hong Kong Affairs and chinas Domestic Affairs if the u. S. Is determined to harm chinas interests china will take all necessary countermeasures the u. S. Has asked the u. N. To discuss Hong Kong Affairs which is publicly interfering in chinas Domestic Affairs and damaging the principles of International Relations china of course opposes this their plan will not succeed the un isnt a tool that the u. S. Can play china and other countries who uphold justice wont allow the u. S. To blackmail the u. N. For its own purposes.

The engineering spirit to fight for freedom of the hong kong people is largely recognised by the taiwanese who also feel empathetic and we are willing when the hong kong people need help to provide assistance so i was the 1st world leader to pledge specific measures to help people from hong kong who may leave the territory because of a new National Security law passed by Chinas Parliament on thursday. The legislations triggered a new wave of antigovernment protests by hong kong activists who say the law further destroys its autonomy and allows chinas government to silence dissent think.
