Ignored the domestic turmoil and instead announces hes terminating americas relationship with the w. H. O. Real people could have eaten it. And one of the charities and volunteers filling the gaps as britains welfare system is overwhelmed by corona says. Outside the white house and from coast to coast protests and violence have spread to more u. S. Cities over the death of a black man at the hands of a white Police Officer that officer Derrick Chauvin has now been charged with George Floyds murder but its done little to dampen the anger as we take you around the country starting in minneapolis itself where floyd died while being arrested on monday demonstrators defied a curfew and a large deployment of the National Guard a bank was set on fire and a Department Store was looted as well. This is the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota History that we have out there today and quite candidly right now we do not have the numbers we cannot arrest people when were trying to hold ground because of the sheer size the dynamics and the wanton violence thats coming out there but as youve seen theres already shots being fired back at our people this arson that is taking place puts many people at risk are firefighters are specifically and very open to target ok so that was minneapolis this is the Nations Capital washington d. C. The white house actually went into a brief lockdown as crowds for with police and in Atlanta Georgia the c. N. N. News channels headquarters came under attack police cars were targeted as well prompting a furious response from atlantas mayor you are disgracing our city you are disgracing the life of george floyd in every other person who has been killed in this country this is not a protests this is not in the spirit of Martin Luther king jr this is chaos a protest has a purpose when dr king was assassinated we didnt do this to our city. Has spread out to the west coast as well theres some of the crowds in los angeles some of them chanting i cant breathe which were some of floyds final words as he was kept pinned to the ground by his. Minneapolis is still the epicenter though and john hendren is there for us as it just goes past 2 in the morning there john bring us up to date. Well right now we witnessed some of that arson some of it is right behind us you heard the governor talking about that there is a fire a lot of theyre. Throwing water on to a building that had been on fire if you look at the top you might still see some of the flames still burning in one of several buildings over here you can see firefighters going for some more water apparently there have been a number of buildings that have caught fire here and these are the National Guard troops who have been escorting the firefighters were also seeing police who are telling people to leave this spot right now so bear with us for a moment. But those are the National Guard troops the governor is talking about hes talking about adding about a 1000 more of them and its clear there just wasnt enough security here we watch buildings be looted we watch numerous buildings be set on fire we saw. Demonstrators protesters call them what you like throwing up barricades between them and the police and we saw a confrontation between a number of demonstrators and state police with guns that shot rubber bullets and ended with tear gas so security has has been a problem here and you would think that after several days of is it would not be a problem but theyve had trouble figuring this out apparently the National Guard are moving behind us. So security has been a major issue tonight and its especially important that this happened on the 1st night of the curfew curfew started at 8 pm its been several hours since then and as you can see there a lot of people out these guard troops are still working and there are fires all over this part of south minneapolis. John i mentioned earlier has been an arrest and a charge of the Police Officer who appears to be responsible for george ford still clearly its what people will want but does it do much to quell the anger. Well part of the problem was a day ago there was this announcer there were going to be a Major Press Conference with federal prosecutors and local prosecutors and f. B. I. Agents and everyone was i should say everybody a lot of people were expecting that to result in criminal charges it didnt though they said were investigating let us work on it and then last night you had a number of a violent incidents clashes between police and demonstrators so 24 hours later they announced charges against derrick show vaughn sorry im just looking for the police who are obviously moving on on somebody here theyre trying to clear out this area. And those charges were serious charges of murder and manslaughter and they say they were the quickest that these prosecutors had ever brought charges against at least officers but the problem is people here in the streets they want all 4 of those officers to face serious charges and right now its only one and theres a lot of dissatisfaction with that and anger in the streets our photographer was attacked a little while ago and. Most of the protesters have been peaceful or have been and many is 8000 in the streets here but its been a little rough from time to time and that is why the governor is calling in the largest deployment of National Guard troops in the States History to try to quell that violence and discontent. It is what protesters across the u. S. Have been demanding the officer who held his knee on George Floyds neck has been arrested many amps Police Officers are chopping has been charged by the head of the county Attorneys Office with murder and with manslaughter as minneapolis st still smoldering following a 3rd night of riots the student governor is hoping the news will calm the violence in the streets minneapolis and st paul are on fire the fire still smoldering our streets. The ashes are symbolic of decades and generations of a pain of anguish unheard much like we failed to hear. George floyd. As he pleaded for his life as the world watched it is my expectation that justice for the officers involved in this will be swift that it will come in a timely manner that it will be fair that is what weve asked for Governor Tim Walz also called the arrest of a black c. N. N. Journalist and his crew early friday by state Police Officers unacceptable i take full responsibility there is absolutely no reason Something Like this should happen calls were made immediately this is a very public apology to that team it should not happen i failed you last night and that in minneapolis riot police stand ready to confront a community that feels its been betrayed National Guard soldiers have also arrived in the city requested by a mayor who is under pressure to bring the violence under control. This was a Police Station in flames on thursday night and anger directed at those who swear to serve and protect escalated not far away more burning shops looting and violence. Protests have spread across the u. S. In denver demonstrators echoed the demand for justice already heard in new york and los angeles anger over the treatment of africanamericans by the police is not new but right now it is very wrong. In louisville in kentucky the death of george floyd has reopened old wounds with protesters demanding justice for an africanamerican woman who was shot dead by police 2 months ago. It is this video of the last moment of George Floyds life a Police Officer kneeling on his neck that is driving the outrage 2 President Trump is weighed in calling the protesters thugs and suggesting National Guard troops shoot looters the republican president also to game against the citys democratic mayor mayor jacob fry fired back donald trump knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis we are strong as hell is this a difficult time period yes but you better be damn sure that were going to get through this as the protests and George Floyds name continue to grow the leaders of major cities across the u. S. Are hoping that promises of swift justice will be enough to calm tensions. To let me put this into perspective this is a state that is just ended its lockdown over from the coronavirus pandemic and now here on this 1st day of being on the lockdown there is a curfew that began 8 pm and that curfew was not held in this part of town it was an honor despite the presence of hundreds of troops youve got the National Guard troops that you see behind us there were hundreds if not more possibly low thousands of protesters hard to tell because theyre scattered all over the city and they lit numerous fires people let numerous fires i dont know if it was necessarily the demonstrators and you can see one of them being put out behind us so this is a city that has had a. An awfully rough week theres sort of a demoralization of big feeling of george floyd and then theres the devastation of the city itself and now youve got the governor apologizing for the 2nd time in one day for being unprepared after several days of rioting here in this city so it is far from under control well be here to report on it as the hours where are john hendren and his team doing a great job in minneapolis in the early hours thank you jon now while all this is going on top trump is chosen not to speak about it in fact instead he announced the u. S. Would be causing all ties with the World Health Organization accusing it of being influenced by beijing the president also confirmed an end to Washington Special treatment of hong kong after china approved its new security law for the territory all the details now with alan fischer. 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 and returned to calling it 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 beatings decision to extend security powers there has added to that anger hong 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 StateSecurity 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 initiation announced today that if they dont respond and domestically they leadership risks looking weak to 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 as 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 saturday afternoon in hong kong his devika pollen for stevia we hear it all from the president s perspective there from the u. S. Perspective im wondering what are the implications of hong kong losing this special trade status and what the reaction will be like there and in beijing. Thats right the in berkeley implications could be wide ranging depending on the details the u. S. Has not quite spelled out what the measures will be there is a wide number of. Choices given to them on how they could implemented and what they could target but it was highly anticipated weve had reaction just before that announcement from officials in hong kong who say that regardless of what the u. S. The Hong Kong Security law will be enacted hong kong secretary of justice has said these are 2 very small separate things that the wall will go ahead and of course the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has told the u. S. To stay out of hong kongs domestic chinas Domestic Affairs now what we are likely to see if we go for from the past in the kind of reaction weve seen between the u. S. And china is some kind of a tit for tat retaliation they could retaliate to the u. S. President president s measure saying that certain chinese officials will be banned from entering the u. S. Theyll be travel bans also sanctions on government officials in hong kong and in china who are seen to erode hong kongs autonomy they also could take other actions against u. S. Companies the u. S. Has also outlined that Chinese Companies will also come under even more of a magnifying glass and mainland Chinese Students also could also face being unable to go back graduate students are unable to go back to the u. S. So these are the kinds of things that china could retaliate on and analysts say will most likely take action on more about reaction on the streets in hong kong weve been looking at some pictures there from earlier in the week of of protests and you know theres been protests for months in hong kong what are you expecting going forward. People in hong kong are just shocked pretty much at how quickly the developments have come across last few weeks ago china announced or last week trying to announce it would enact this National Security law which many on the prodemocracy front and many of the protests are see as a way of closing any discourse in hong kong limiting freedom of speech and once again putting many of them at risk of going to jail or criminalizing them for speaking out against china and now we have the u. S. Coming out and saying that they are going to impose these sanctions because they no longer see hong kong as autonomy as from Mainland China although i need to point out the reason this has come about is because of a law which many of hong kong protesters have been lobbying and prodemocracy activists have been lobbying in congress was for the u. S. To be able to take stock of hong kongs autonomy and punish those that cross it or endanger it and so because of that weve had the u. S. Reacts in this way saying that hong kong is no longer thomas from china once this National Security law comes into place so the kind of reaction will see for i guess prodemocracy activists for people you know championing human rights its somewhat of a victory but for hong kongs economy and many Business Leaders and many of the businesses here theres a lot of concern this could mean billions of dollars in investments from hong kong leaving hong kong Many Companies also leaving home kong and hong kongs financial secretary has said they are still trying to gauge what the u. S. Will do and theyre preparing for every or any scenario to try and protect hong kongs economy giving up on him in hong kong thank you. And a moment we will return to the protests in the u. S. And in fact breaking the blue wall of silence what some police are actually saying about the actions of the 4 officers involved in George Floyds fatal arrest and kicked out with nowhere to go why People Living in a slum in colombias capital theah been evicted during the pandemic. Of the hellers an even more distinct difference now between the weather in Eastern Europe and the weather further west it may not look very much on here but the great live cloud you saw some lightning strikes in this whole area is prone to big thunderstorms the concentration has been just western Russia Ukraine is cutting back through valorous and into poland its a sort of low pressure area temps a low underneath only 14. 15 in kiev you might get 16 if youre lucky whereas in complete contrast not quite at record values in the u.
