Crowds of people are out protesting in cities across the u. S. Calling for justice over the death of a black man who are going to rest in the city of minneapolis a policeman has been charged with the murder of george floyd but that has not quell the anger of a curfew is now in force in minneapolis but protesters are showing no signs of abiding by it and nor in threats of a fine or even jail time the mayor of minneapolis ordered a curfew after 3 days of protests which is seen buildings burned and looted protests are continuing into the night at the white house as well scuffles have broken out between demonstrators and. Police groups been there for several hours and earlier the white house was briefly locked down lets go to brooklyn now Brooklyn New York protesters there are chanting no justice no peace and a standoff with Police Outside of barkley stadium there earlier timmins traders were also around the new York Supreme Court its going out how to series 100. 00 is live at the scene in minneapolis he said theres been a curfew in effect for a few hours there and this is where it all started so whats happening now. Thats right richelle this curfew has been in effect for about 4 hours and we talked to an hour ago i told you about a peaceful scene a respectful scene at the site where george floyd had been killed and now were seeing something entirely different we saw smoke and we drove about a mile away through the city and i just want to give you a little hint of whats going on here if you can see over that black car at all that is a fire we saw a couple of gentlemen run behind that big old crane there and then suddenly shortly thereafter we saw flames now over here you probably cant see over the people there but you can see the mass of people theyre gathering and what theyre doing is pulling fences that police have put up and businesses put out and theyre creating a barricade there on police not just a few blocks down there we saw them there were state police in swat gear but they have not come here weve seen a Health Helicopter above you may be able to hear it but if you move over this way you can see another building that has been set on fire it seems to be some kind of personnel building and that thing is entirely and gold in flames as is a Wells Fargo Bank building not far from here and if i can ask you to move the camera jim were going to. Look back there that is a kmart or a Department Store that was closing and you can see people walking in and out of it the looting has pretty much empty the place we think because people arent coming out with much right now but we saw people go in there and as we poked our heads in we saw there was smoke inside and it does look like there are people running from one area to another in the neighborhood setting fires so were wondering if that one is next its hard to say but you there is a helicopter above you may be able to hear behind me which means the police have eyes on this area i spoke to a young woman not far away from here near. The barricades you said shed been hit by a rubber bullet police are a few blocks that direction so we dont know if theyre going to come and enforce this curfew and of course take care of the looting and fires thats not something theyve been doing in recent night in part because of the city decided simply wasnt worth the danger to the 1st responder personnel but this is different there has been a curfew and were not sure whether there will be a confrontation or whether itll be like the last few nights where that really didnt happen in in force we didnt see the city shutdown although we saw clashes between police and some of these looters and demonstrators so right now things have gotten much more chance on the 1st night of a curfew here in minneapolis well be following it throughout the evening to let you know what happens in the coming hours so where do things stand with this Police Officer that was caught on camera with me on the throat of george floyd there when there were there had not been charges for days which is where this anger comes from now there are charges so what where do things stand with that. Thats right george floyd died on monday and then there were protests for about 3 days after that and a lot of set over the fact that there were charges against the 4 Police Officers who were involved and on thursday of course there was an announcement that there would be a Major Press Conference there were federal and local prosecutors an f. B. I. Agent there and they didnt announce charges and people were very upset thursday night was a bad night minneapolis buildings were set on fire a lot of damage and then we had the announcement that this officer was in custody today and later that he was charging the charges are serious manslaughter and murder so that brought a positive response from a lot of people a lot of who were protesting here many of them peaceful demonstrators and. I should add that most of the demonstrators we have seen seem to be peaceful and a lot of the people here are mere onlookers but. There is still obviously a lot of anger going on and there seems to be some opportunism people just taking advantage of the chaos for destructive purposes and for looting ok john hendren there live in minneapolis john thank you very much and we do have picked pictures live pictures here of what hes describing happening and minneapolis there is a curfew but the protesters are still out there are still buildings that are being burned and the anger from these protesters is as much bigger then what happened with george floyd but as john also said the officer has been charged but this is this is just the beginning all right thats our live pictures there. So donald trump has announced the u. S. Is cutting ties with the World Health Organization accusing it of being influenced by beijing the president also confirmed the United States would end that special treatment of hong kong after china proved it is security law for the territory this week alan fischer reports. Unusually for a News Conference at the white house president only trump opted to use a teleprompter and stuck to the script but in the week where the number of 1000 deaths in the u. S. Went through the 100000 mark the president used the occasion to cut ties with the World Health Organization under terms calling it the ruhani virus china has total control over the World Health Organization we have detailed the reforms that it must make and engage with them directly but they have refused to act the president has been angry about chinas trade practices since before he took office the protests this week in hong kong decision to extend security powers there has added to that anger on kong has had a special relationship with the u. S. The president wants to punish china and says Hong Kong Special status is no more 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. We will be revising the state departments travel advisory for hong kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the Chinese State Security Apparatus president also announced he was imposing sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials but i think this is the the amount of actions that he and house as well as the severity of actions that he did announce depending on the implementation of these actions this is probably the Nuclear Option that this is an initiation of do you think china will react and respond i think china has to respond in this case there are so many actions that the Trump Administration announced today that if they dont respond then domestically they the c. C. P. Leadership risks looking weak their domestic audience President Trump gave a long list of grievances about chinas economic actions theres nothing new there hes done it before what was interesting in his 10 minutes in front of the cameras he made no mention of chinese president xi a man he regards a strong a man hes praised in the past even for his handling of the coronavirus brick alan fischer aljazeera at the Chinese Embassy in washington to figure pollen is in hong kong to sustain a as likely true retaliate at the u. S. Imposes sanctions. Use came in overnight in this part of the world but many were already anticipating it with mike one payer earlier announcing that hong kong could no longer be autonomys from trying out once this new law comes into place and so prior to that yesterday we heard the Hong Kong Government official who was at that big political meeting in china say whatever the u. S. Does will not affect the enact meant of this law in hong kong also the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman said before the end of yesterday that the u. S. Should stay out of chinas Domestic Affairs but what we could likely see reaction to is the measures that donald trump had announced saying that there will be travel bans on certain chinese officials and sanctions could be placed on any hong kong or mainland chinese Government Official seen as eroding hong kongs autonomy what we are likely to see is china if you go by whats the done in the past is china retaliating with measures in kind against u. S. Officials now this measure that allows the u. S. To look into hong kongs autonomy was born out of democracy activists and lobbying the u. S. Congress to take action against 9 against china eroding hong kongs freedoms and autonomy show what the u. S. Did last year was set up this act which passed through congress unanimously which gives them the right to assess hong kong autonomy every year and now the u. S. Has deemed hong kongs autonomy a once this National Security law comes in not not separate from Mainland China so eroded enough that the u. S. Can take action so this is seen as somewhat of a victory for democratic activists.
