States after a 4th nights of sometimes violent protests against Police Brutality more than 1400 arrests have been made in 17 cities the unrest was sparked in minneapolis by the death of a black man george floyd whilst in Police Custody it has since grown into a National Outrage against racism sometimes by the poor. Lease mike hanna reports on whats been a long night for many across the u. S. What started out as peaceful protests in dozens of cities are ruptured in violence in Los Angeles Police vehicles were set on fire sending plumes of black smoke over the area similar scenes in cities ranging from seattle where a 5 pm curfew has been set to miami where thousands gathered through the day and where like in so many other areas a standoff with police ended in clouds of tear gas in chicago where demonstrators held signs carrying messages of protest that were repeated throughout the nation. In new york a city that is still to emerge from the ravages of the pandemic a series of protests took place throughout the 5 boroughs and in minneapolis the city where george floyd was killed and where the National Wave of protests began. The president left the white house in the morning to attend the basics launch and afterwards expressed his sympathy for george floyd and his family but also had this to say about the protesters the memory of george floyd is being dishonored by riders looters and anarchists the violence and vandalism is being led by n. T. For and other radical left wing groups who were terrorizing the innocent destroying jobs. Hurting businesses and burning down buildings this in the wake of a tweet saying if protesters had broken the secret service ring outside the white house they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs and most are ministers weapons i have seen the reference to vicious dogs seen by washingtons mayor Muriel Bowser as a throwback to the police use of dogs on African American civil rights activists decades ago and in an extraordinary tweet often the mayor lashed out at the president in the white house saying and i quote while he hides behind his fence afraid alone i stand with people peacefully exercising their 1st amendment right after the murder of george floyd and hundreds of years of institutional racism there are no vicious dogs and ominous weapons there is just a scared man afraid alone into the night crowds continue to gather within sight and sound of the president s residence clashing with police and secret Service Agents on several occasions washington d. C. Became one of more than 11 cities where the National Guard has been mobilized and amidst a flickering of flames and swirling smoke curfews were declared in a number of areas the same a nation just emerging from a months long lockdown in the thesis of a pandemic mike hanna aljazeera washington. People elizondo is in new york he says events that were calm all day until small groups started causing trouble when night fell. Chaotic scenes here in new york city late in the evening im in Union Square Area of the city you can see that some of the protests turned out to be violent in a way this is where the real heart of the major conflict between police and protesters were was held after nightfall at one point more than 2 Police Vehicles were set ablaze we saw helicopters are still at this hour buzzing over the air and there are groups of protesters still roaming in certain areas but earlier in the day we saw tens of thousands of Peaceful Protesters take to the streets in new york to have their voices heard at one point they peacefully protested right in front of trump tower in front of a heavy Police Presence and then moved down the streets of broadway down to downtown new york city where one point they were greeted by applause by onlookers these were mostly young people all of whom said that they were out here for a reason im here for george floyd im here for all of those have lost their lives hes telling im here for black america im here for me im here for my family im here for all the america and im here for those who cant be here today well i think that america is sick and we have to root out racism and i think that white people need to stand up and do something instead of sitting on their couch and posting on their Instagram Stories this is a manifestation of anger as one man just told me says this is what happens when people get fed up many are exactly that here in new york they Say Something like this is just property that can be replaced but the life of george floyd cant be. Live to chicago correspondent. Going to him whos there chicago was one of the cities put under curfew natasha is the curfew actually working. Well i can tell you for about an hour after this curfew was implemented on saturday evening people remained on the street in a section of Downtown Chicago and continued to clash with Police People were throwing firecrackers and other objects at Police Officers we saw a Police Officer cornered by a crowd rushing to get away inside an s. U. V. After the 3rd time of protesters and people i would call agitators wanting to wreak havoc clashed with police in a 24 hour period in chicago the city took the step of imposing a curfew until further notice people will be asked to remain in their homes from 9 pm until 6 am and the city is vowing if you violate the curfew you will be arrested thou the city had had as many as 3000 people its estimated on the streets at one point in chicago on saturday afternoon they gathered at the Federal Plaza and began marching north along a major commercial corridor or some as i said ended up in different parts of the city and they remain peaceful there were scenes of people kneeling on mass in front of trump tower a reference to george floyd in the way he died at the hands of the Minneapolis Police department but things quickly deteriorated people were throwing Water Bottles bottles filled with urine firecrackers at Police People brought pipes shovels and bats to the protests people were seen spraying profanities. Spray painting profanities on squad cars lighting cars on fire and they. There was major destruction and looting restaurant windows a Major Department store a national one called macys the front door smashed in and people had did now what had happened is people had been protesting in multiple parts of the city so the police attempted to restrain and contain the crowd so they attempted to do that by closing off several ramps of the highway closing off a portion of a main north south road called lake shore drive and its something that we dont see quite often all the bridges over the Chicago River were raised again in an attempt to contain the crowd on saturday evening a visibly angry mayor Lori Lightfoot appeared on television its worth noting she is the citys 1st female africanamerican mayor and she had said all along that she shared the anger and frustration that many people were feeling over the death of george floyd she said that she understood that it quote on earth generations of pain and anger emote among black folks and communities of color and their experience of policing in america she said she understood people needed to express that rage peacefully and because we were in a pandemic simply asked that they social distance and wear masks but it was clear that was not heeded she said in the evening after this curfew was imposed im watching a tragedy unfold in our city a peaceful protest devolved into criminal conduct and i think that its worth noting that there is a distinction being made between the protesters who have remained peaceful and again people i would describe as agitators intent on committing crimes and wreaking havoc at this point the illinois National Guard has not been activated but chicago does join more than 2 dozen cities in the United States who have been for. Forced to implement curfews this is the 1st time this is happened on this scale since 1968 that is when the civil rights icon reverend dr Martin Luther king was assassinated and it sparked massive protests and civil unrest throughout the country natasha thank you. Well for decades incidents of Excessive Force being used on black people have led to talk of reform but little action in march of 1901 video of rodney king being beaten in los angeles were broadcast around the world the acquittal of officers involved spawn days of riots in february of 2012 Trayvon Martin was shot by a member of a Neighborhood Watch group that led to the launch of the black plumes Matter Movement there were several high profile deaths involving Police Officers in 2014 including eric garner Michael Brown and 12 year old to me a rise in 2015 for the gray died in a police van in baltimore while in the custody of 6 officers just over a year later Fernando Castillo was shot and killed during a traffic stop tricia rose is director of the center for the study of race and ethnicity in America Brown university she explains the groundswell of anger unleashed by the death of george floyd. I think you know its very important when were thinking about the response to this incident where mr floyd was killed that we really understand how systematic and pervasive the deep violence that black people face at the hands of police have been all around the country and its impossible to speak to what the Community Feels in minneapolis if we only think about whats happened there in isolation its extremely important that we understand that this is a historical and ongoing factor and a nationwide fact and this is not want to rogue cop is not want to 2 or 3 rogue cops across new york but in fact assisted a systematic relationship where black people are considered threatening and worthy of extreme violence and this is a common practice so to to begin to understand this we have to put it both in Historical Context and in terms of a collective black trauma around state sponsored violence that usually goes completely on punished this is what happened in ferguson right it was a full nearly a military response you know local Police Forces around the country have been rewarded with military grade equipment the kinds of equipment you would normally see only in an International War context and there was extreme levels of containment and violence as if people exercising their civil rights to freedom of expression and to gather in public to protest were a threat to the nation rather than the very rights that the nation is designed to protect but thats the logic of what it means to face a state violence when youre a black Community Even if whites and others are participating its when its understood as a racial crime that you begin to see this kind of extreme violent response that said i did my understanding that there were also many instigators involved in minneapolis and perhaps. In other cities around the country as well and more data on that may come up as the weeks bear out but what that means is that you could have you know right extreme right wing violent groups who are infiltrating the protest community in the cities that are protesting and those infiltrators are stoking violence and encouraging a violent response for which black people will pay the highest price later here on aljazeera well have news on the coronavirus pandemic mexicos preparing to ease its virus locked even though its not past the peak to meet the medics on the front lines.

Isolating times the listening post cuts through the noise lead been looking at another side of this story not from the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact its reality. And were taking you live to space x. Which is in the process of having just docked with the International Space station space x. Nasa making history of course sending astronauts from u. S. Soil up to the International Space station what youre looking at right now a piece of. I guess galactic history as the 1st crude Mission Launched from the United States since the Space Shuttle program came to an end in 202011 it was bad weather had caused a launch delay on may the 27th the astronauts launched at 322 on saturday from the Kennedy Space center was there this test flight thats in effect what it is is delivering 2 astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space station a moment of space history there they are doing it slightly ahead of schedule this wasnt supposed to happen until precisely 1429 g. But things have gone so well so efficiently theyre slightly ahead of the timetable that they had penciled in for that process the hatch was jus to be opened but an International Space station and space x. At 12 45 pm. Assume local time local to nasa not local to g. M. T. And not local to where they are right now and then theres going to be a welcome ceremony as well well stick with these pictures and well talk to our correspondent whos been following the story for us. So andy must have been doing more than well if theyve just decided what the heck well just do it showing up. I mean it is an incredible feat of engineering of course that capsule launched yesterday from here in florida from Cape Canaveral pretty much perfect launch the astronauts and spent the last 19 hours making their way towards the International Space station and its important to bear in mind that as the crew dragon capsule approaches the International Space station these astronauts on board wont be piloting it is automated as it docks with the International Space station they will then stay inside for about 2 hours before they join the rest of the crew on board that orbiting laboratory and then there will be that ceremony but this is a crucial test for space x. And the crew dragon capsule if all goes well here you know youve got people like the long musk talking about getting boots on the moon in 2024 or even going out to mars perhaps in the future so this is a vital test beginning of a new era in Space Exploration for the United States because this is the 1st commercial spacecraft to take nasa astronauts into orbit so its the beginning of a new private Public Partnership between nasa the u. S. Government and boeing and space x. And all these are the companies that are being awarded contracts Going Forward but these next few minutes will be vital inside that capsule its all touchscreen this is like nothing weve ever seen before there are no switches in here its all automated although the 2 astronauts can fly this capsule money only if they choose to do so but they will then spend between wants and 3 months at the international spy. Sation it all depends on th
