Well but clearly that has not been enough avoid family was critical of those charges they had wanted a 1st degree murder charge they said it was a welcome but long overdue step toward justice they also said that there were 3 other minneapolis Police Officers on site on that memorial day evening who they believe should also be arrested but right now we are expecting according to minnesota Minnesota State officials that there will be a nother tense day in that state as protesters return to the streets to protest the death of George Floyd Natasha thanks very much. Back to washington the u. S. President donald trump announcing the u. S. Is cutting all ties with the World Health Organization accusing it of being overly influenced by china the president also confirmed an end to Washington Special treatment of hong kong after beijing approved a new security law for the territory ellen fisher 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 covert 1000 deaths in the u. S. Went through the 100000. 00 mark the president used the occasion to cut ties with the World Health Organization and returned to calling it the would hand 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 o. B. Zhangs decision to extend security powers there has added to that anger hong kong has had a special relationship with the u. S. But 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 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 an action 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 emission and ounce today that if they dont respond then domestically the 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 bric alan fischer aljazeera at the Chinese Embassy in washington. Well David Gopalan is in hong kong she says mr trumps announcement on ending preferential treatment to the tertiary could be disastrous for the economy. Hong kong and mainland chinese Officials Say any u. S. Action will not derail the end of the National Security law but the u. S. Says once the law is in place hong kong is no longer sufficiently autonomys from Mainland China which means they can take away the special status which includes policies on trade travel and extradition and analysts say it will be a huge blow to hong kong standing as an International Financial center we dont really know what the National Security law is going to say and how much will be left in hong kong we dont really know what President Trump is going to do you know is he going to be false agents or is it going to be limitations on the margin i think what we do know is that this is the end of an era where hong kong has really been seen as very much an independent global Financial Center and now its going to be an International Center part of china going to have its own seats on many of these International Organizations so it will lose its identity just sitting state of the world along with removing the per french policies from hong kong the u. S. President says Chinese Companies operating in the United States could come under more scrutiny and there could be travel bans and sanctions against hong kong and chinese officials who are seen as a danger in the citys autonomy this is where beijing could head back to protest measures raising the already high tensions between the worlds 2 biggest economies.

Second i want to say. And weve got to change this weve got to break these barriers in these walls and weve got to do what we can as Police Officers the Bigger Picture is how the killing of freud is going to complicate police work throughout america already many black communities are distrustful of Law Enforcement this is only going to make it worse when you see. What should be a routine apprehension become a de facto thanks you should it is it is extremely unsettling you watch. And former new York Police Detective keith taylor says there are systematic issues of race that need to be addressed makes it more difficult for officers interests simply trying to do their job every day.
