Paramedics on the front lines of the pandemic. And space x. Successfully delivers to nasa astronauts to the International Space station after their historic lift off from florida. Hello thanks for joining us protests are beginning again in cities across the u. S. As anger continues to spread over Police Brutality towards black people people are already out in minneapolis to denounce Police Violence on George Floyds death there have been 5 nights when cars have been set fire to threw bottles at officers and broke storefront windows while others have started helping clearing up damaged business following 3 nights of violence so saturday nights violence the 5th in a row left us more streets scarred fires burning and at least 30 cities right across the United States including in minneapolis where the protests all began as well as new york and los angeles 25 cities in 16 states have now imposed curfews in an effort to ease tensions but the Police Presence has still lead to clashes at least 1700 people have been arrested thats as tens of thousands of members of the National Guard were brought in to back up officers in several States Morris said to be deployed in the coming hours mike hanna reports from washington on another night of violence. What started out as peaceful protests in dozens of cities around did 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 space 6 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 rioters looters and anarchists the violence and vandalism is being led by n. T. For and the 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. Into the mind crowds continue to gather within sight and sound of the president s residence clashing with police and secret Service Agents on several occasions and amidst the flickering of flames and swirling smoke curfews were declared in a number of areas the sin a nation just emerging from a months long lockdown in the face of a pandemic mike hanna aljazeera Washington Well officials in minnesota say there are more aggressive approach led to a slighter calmer night in minneapolis john hendren was out on the streets of the city where the protests began. This is what a curfew is supposed to look like a few people on the street few cars in relative quiet but it was a far cry from that just hours ago. Police and demonstrators faced off in an area they have been trading control of a night ago the police controlled an intersection behind me and then demonstrators took it over in the day well in the evening the police came back in force marching toward the protesters shooting pellets and firing tear gas it all took about 15 minutes to disperse the crowd who spoke to some of the protesters and this is what they had to say she does date drawing gas so lets not. Have a bullet if you know me i got picked up in the yeah. Right there. We need to just use we need our justice the city will not rest until we get out just no justice no peace does that mean we out one officer has been arrested and charged with murder but there were 4 officers involved in the arrest of george floyd that ended in his death now the crowd says they want to stay out here in the streets of minneapolis despite the curfew despite the Police Presence until all 4 of those officers are arrested well Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has acknowledged that the protests so a life in his states is different if youre black or white we dont just right near the top on Educational Attainment we rank near the top on personal incomes on homeownership on life expectancies things that make this and one that came out a while back we the ranks 2nd in a survey of the 50 states 2nd in happiness behind hawaii but if you take a deeper look and peel it back which this week has peeled back all of those statistics are true if youre white if youre not we rank near the bottom. And what this week is showing all of us is those 2 things cant operate at the same place lets get an update from Allison Herrera whos a journalist in minneapolis alison set the scene for us tell us what you can say. Hi i am right here at 38 in chicago right where the officer who is accused of killing was george lloyd where the incident happened and there is a peaceful protest thats being organized behind me people are giving out food people are giving out groceries and im standing here with a Community Organizer named charles. Who will go and he is going to be leading a unity rally and i asked him you know i want to know from you charles what do you think needs to happen Going Forward you know the governor is talking about you know reconciliation and trying to heal some of these wounds tell me what you think needs to happen now i think we use the names that is coming out about you know so that we are meeting people are killed the its time bruce a truth and Reconciliation Commission that was able to heal the wounds of that which was then to cease and they have established a pretty good ive been government after that i think we need this type of a conversation but the income must subside 1st and then the healing can begin a type of a hybrid or a to the conservation of this means that its to do that much here goes. You lived in the city for you know over 30 years almost 30 years you know yes ive you seen anything like this before this has never happened in the last 30 years of the never do you think that this conversation needs. Alison if you can hear me well have to move away from that apologies to our viewers were having some audio connection issues with Allison Herrera in minneapolis but well tell you about other cities because police have been criticized for their response and some other cities including in new york thats where a Police Vehicle was seen in a video ramming protesters behind a barricade so footed shared online shows demonstrators blocking the path of 2 harras in the street before one lurched forward into the crowds new York Police Say 345 people were arrested while 33 officers were injured and 27 Police Vehicles damaged and the new york mayor bill de blasio says a full investigation will take place that is not the way things are supposed to be there will be a full investigation into discipline as necessary there will be but do not present only one side of the picture i looked at those videos i saw people converging on the Police Vehicle i saw people throwing things at the Police Vehicle that is not peaceful protests so lets not kid ourselves if you or anyone else was inside that Police Vehicle surrounded by people you would have had a really tough decision to make you cant stay there you cant get out of the vehicle you have to get yourself and the vehicle out of the situation safely for all while the mayor of washington d. C. Murray has blamed organized groups for the rioting many seemed organized and had tolls to break windows and tolls or is strategy to distribute materials among them so i would say the thing that were struck by is that it was the organized group that appeared more been on destruction been on protests lets bring in our White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett so what do we read it whats your read into the mayors comments. Well she certainly is that going what weve heard from so many mayors and we should point out that these comments are somewhat muted for her sharp criticism of u. S. President donald trump there had been quite a bit of public tension between the 2 especially on full display on saturday as she was responding to accusations made by the u. S. President that the measure of police that exists here in washington d. C. Had not supported the u. S. Secret service in fact we can tell you that the secret service and out a statement saying they very much were in cooperation she was also very concerned about some of the tweets by the u. S. President where he threatened to unleash dogs an ominous weapons on protesters that may breach the white house she called this an attack on black america making the city less safe and that she stands with people protesting racism but as you heard in that sound bite there she makes a distinction about those who may be hijacking that effort and now she is saying very clearly that those who may want to silence the voices of peaceful protest with violence that the city will be cracking down vigorously on those individuals they will be pulling security footage from around washington d. C. Already arrests have been made and more are still to come you know and kimberly speaking of the u. S. President s ya son todd tweets in particular about this group. But just talk us through what he said. Yeah the u. S. President has been for a long time threatening to declare the group and tif as a terrorist organization but hes never come out and said hes going to do it lets take a look at the tweet this is what the us president had to say the usa will be designating at teeth as a terrorist organization for viewers who are clear what an teef it is essentially its a far left political protest movement that is in militant opposition to conservative or right wing ideology so the u. S. President has long had this group in its sights but what was unclear about this tweet because there were no specifics is that there isnt a mechanism or a domestic statute for declaring a group that is domestic of nature as a terrorist organization as weve for example seen the state department doing with International Terror groups weve since had clarification from the department of justice but we now know is that they are going to pursue in the existing joint Terrorism Task force any of these radical groups whether it be anti for or even on the right where weve also had reports stream right groups that may also be fomenting violent extremism within these peaceful protests that they will be investigated within the existing network of the joint Terrorism Task force the view of the u. S. Attorney general william barr is that these groups are pursuing extremists agendas and they are undercutting what he calls the legitimate grievances and also peaceful protests now we should point out just to give you a little atmosphere here at the white house we have in the last few moments started to hear some very loud protesting coming from outside the white house campus this is a campus that still remains on a very heightened state of alert still a heavy u. S. Secret service Police Presence they are prepared for a nother night of protests should that occur all right kimberly thank you very much for that update. Still to come on aljazeera.
