Struggle to cope with one of the worlds highest infection rates. To nasa astronauts weather permitting set to launch into orbit in the 1st ever manned space flight by private companies. We begin in the u. S. State of minnesota where the death of a black man in Police Custody has sparked anger not only there but across the country for the 1st time in its history minnesotas governor has announced that hes fully mobilizing the National Guard. Im authorizing and talking to general jensen to fully mobilize the Minnesota National guard an action that has never been taken in 164 year history of the Minnesota National guard we will pull in assets as we have been doing and for those minnesotans who are wondering where are the fire trucks where are the police that are out there the situation was so broad and the tactics were so bent on causing destruction that every Single Person we had mobilized again the largest in state history last evening was engaged in that. Well the Police Officer at the center of this has been charged with George Floyds mudda but its a little to calm the situation as john hendren reports. A curfew when a murder charge against a Police Officer failed to bring calm to minneapolis. The citys new curfew beginning 8 pm some protesters responded by setting buildings on fire hundreds of others continued to peacefully protest the death of a black man george floyd after his arrest by a white policeman. Officer gary children who was fired shortly after floyds arrest on monday d has now been charged with his murder but its made little difference on the citys turbulent south sun demonstrators defied the curfew and a large deployment of the National Guard some took out their anger on businesses such as the Department Store and occasionally journalists. Others lined up to challenge police who answered with tear gas that failed to control the unrest these National Guard troops have been blocking roads and theyve been protecting firefighters or theyve been putting out the many fires you can see one of them back there but the governor says there are simply havent been enough of them and thats why hes sending in more a 1000 more to join the 500 already in minneapolis in nearby st paul 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 want violence thats coming out there but as you see theres already shots being fired back at our people. These arson that is taking place puts many people at risk are firefighters are specifically and very open. Target from coast to coast protests in violence have spread to more u. S. Cities in washington the white house was briefly on lockdown as crowds fought with police in the capital. And in Atlanta Georgia this c. N. N. News channels headquarters came under attack police cars were also targeted prompting a furious response from atlantas mayor you are just praising our city you are disgracing the life of george lloyd in every other person who has been killed in this country crowds in los angeles chanted i cant breathe some of George Floyds final words as his neck was pinned to the ground. And back in minneapolis his excessive days in 1000 ivanka go on John Hendren Al jazeera minneapolis we have 3 correspondents following the tense developments across the United States natasha good name is standing by for us in chicago kimberly how good is at the white house but 1st lets go to what allison. Minneapolis where are you whats happening. Right now i am off westlake street i am actually standing right near a burned down u. S. Bank building the a. T. M. s have been im completely trashed and dismantled im actually looking right now at the old sears and roebuck building which is home to the midtown Global Market which is a mixed use base of businesses restaurants some shops and the governor Hennepin CountyGovernment Services also an Apartment Building its boarded up completely there are people outside your along west lake street cleaning up from the debris last night from looting and some of the fires so im im just right in the heart of some of the some of the worst damage that the city has sustained only you know what out of a Community Meeting where where residents who have pretty scared life now a deciding and more to do to keep the community safe. Thats right i was just in powder horn park which is just a couple blocks from here its a Community Park where every may have been made a celebration we werent able to have that this year obviously because of the pandemic people gathered there this afternoon hour this morning and this afternoon to come up with a strategy just in case the violence goes over into the neighborhood and i talked to a family i talked to people that have lived in that neither a phone for decades and they feel very very on edge they feel you know when i asked them about the National Guard presence face said that you know they dont really complicate think belt when we wondered where they have them and some prior times and felt right you know i dont like they should have been here and that no one can question him and. A lot of anger and a lot of a lot of tension i thought i was many thanks to that aslan our other in minneapolis just want to make you aware of the fact that the general when he is giving a press briefing at the moment which well listen in for a few moments hes been saying that justice will be served in the georgia floyd our case but cisneros federal law in that regard it is a federal crime to cross state lines or to use interstate facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting and we will enforce those laws thank you ok that was a obviously we called the tail end of that before we joined the attorney general he had been saying that outside radicals but agitates has been taking over the protests more on that in just a few moments but u. S. President donald trump has been speaking in the last hour about the protests and hes again threatened to deploy the military. We can have our military there very quickly. Got a. Lot of. People. Out of. The. Great. President trump has been warning protestors of the confronted with quote all menace weapons in a series of tweets earlier today trump said that the protesters at the white house on friday were a big crowd professionally organized but that nobody came close to breaching the fence if they had he said they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs or most all of us weapons ive ever seen thats when people would have been really badly hurt at least he said Many Secret Service agents are just waiting for action live out of the white house a correspondent kelly how good is the what are we to make of william saying that outside radicals and agitators the taking over these protests and youve got the president there claiming that the anti for and radical left bad people. Well. This is certainly something thats being discussed in the United States right now there are observations being made by ordinary americans as i went to a mcdonalds outside the white house to pick up my Morning Coffee i heard ordinary americans discussing this concern in fact they were africanamerican women about my age who felt that they were worried that the civil rights causes that they and previous generations worked so hard for maybe being hijacked by people that dont share the same passion for the same end state and maybe taking advantage of the situation we often see this and. Whether its the right or the left there is always an element. In all societies that seems to take advantage of this situation the problem were seeing right now is that our leaders particularly President Trump some would argue our 2 adding fuel to the fire and so by finger pointing by blaming by name calling this just makes people go to those opposite corners even more and that is the concern that many have about some of the president s tweets right and when as a result this is certainly something. Some sort of. A when the president says threatens to send in the military can he do that. He cant and im glad that focused question allows me to get to the point of posse come a tavis which is an 878. 00 law in the United States that essentially says that the military cannot be used to enforce domestic policies against american citizens that is a real Cornerstone Foundation of American Society one that Many Americans believe makes them distinct so the us president says these things to inflame to build on that point i was making earlier and we should also point out you know weve just come after one very violent night here outside the white house in terms of the potential for violence being even greater we saw which we dont often see the optics of this silhouette of the white house and then the secret service with riot gear on the concern is that that could happen again for a 2nd night because the u. S. President has tweeted almost rallying his supporters to have questioning whether this will be magen night or a counter protest many people say this is a rallying cry and the concern is and now we see the secret service in a heightened state yet again anticipating there could be another night of violence i can tell you there are riot shields at the ready there are heavily Armed Secret Service in places that we dont normally see them in anticipation that there could be another night of violence and the concern in all of this is that the president has the opportunity to quell this but as youve heard from the president s statements whether it be tweets whether it be the finger pointing is he left the white house in the south lawn he didnt do that now we also have this sort of doubling down from the trumpet ministration the form of the attorney general william barr saying that this is something a process thats being hijacked i can only tell you what im hearing on the ground as a reporter its something thats being widely discussed often these things take after action to find out if its true but its certainly a talking point in American Society right now a White House Correspondent kimberly good reporting live from washington complete many thanks to. Bring in officers matushka name monitoring developments from chicago you have the attorney general there saying that outside radicals and agitators were taking of a prophet. Protests atlanta is. Calling out some of the behavior that weve seen is what it is but is that the feeling across the country that these these protests are being hijacked. Theres definitely a distinction being made between this understanding and desire by protesters for peaceful expressions of anger and frustration over how the Police Across the country deal with not only africanamericans but communities of color and certainly chicago the Chicago Police department has its own challenging history with the Police Department and communities of color one that the superintendent of police said only yesterday that the department continues to try to improve thats done in the way of Building Community policing and building ties with the community now in chicago there is another protest expected this afternoon overnight more than 100 people were arrested a dozen Police Officers were injured dozens flawed cars damaged mayor Lori Lightfoot she is the citys 1st female africanamerican mayor said that she understands that this is a moment. Pain that is an earth generations of pain and anger among black folks and communities of color around their experiences of policing in america however she is imploring protesters to remain peaceful shes also reminding people that we are in the midst of a pandemic 1000 cases in chicago are being pretty stubbornly high she is asking protesters to wear masks and to social distance the mayor is also. Taking aim at President Donald Trump she says that he is exacerbating this nationwide this collective anger and frustration over the death of george slow floyd by quote inciting violence had a particularly choice rebuke for the president the day before after he tweeted that once the looting starts the shooting starts thats a direct quote that is a racially tinge comment that dates back to a comment a miami police chief made during the Civil Rights Movement in the late 1960 s. President trouble later backtracked and said he was unaware of the history of the comets. His goal is to polarize to destabilize local government and inflame racist urges and we can absolutely not let him prevail. And i will code what i really want to say to donald trump its 2 words it begins with f. And it ends with you. I will not remain silent while this man cynically tries to turn this incredibly painful moment into one for his own political gain. As we wait to see what protests will break on saturday not only here in chicago but in minneapolis new york and cities around the country. The one thing thats worth mentioning is that there are soldiers at American Military bases 3 of them who have been told to be on standby to deploy within 4 hours i understand that the president of course cannot make that call it has to be done at the state level but to give you an idea of the Historical Context this hasnt happened since the l. A. Riots in 1902. I was there was an especially good named reporting live from chicago natasha many thanks indeed. Muhammad is professor of history of race and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy school he says that what were witnessing a systemic racism the black lives Matter Movement and broader Racial Justice movements that had been unfolding since about 2 1012. 00 and picked up another notch moved into another year in 2014 after the deaths of Michael Brown and ferguson the zuri and eric garner in Staten Island new york is Unfinished Business that work was was never result and in fact when attorney general Jeff SessionsDonald Trumps 1st u. S. Attorney general came into office he canceled a couple of consent decrees that had been worked out to try to fix Police Agencies in the United States of america and sent a powerful signal that whatever it happened before was no longer going to happen under Donald Trumps watch and so now were seeing the continued challenge of Structural Racism in american policing and people have run out of options when it comes to how to weigh their voices how to communicate the one thing that i think is really important in this moment is to remember when George Clooney was dying on the street with a show opens in his neck everyone who stood there in that same Community Asked politely there was no violence there were no no molotov cocktails they spoke to those close officers very clearly and say its stop what youre doing youre killing him and so we have to really think about what does it mean to try to do something the right way the lawful way the respectable way and it doesnt work.
