Those demonstrations show no signs of ending a week after a black man died in Police Custody and you autopsy report says it was a homicide. In other news an iranian scientist jailed in the u. S. Since 2017 is now on his way home. Also had the 1st confirmed covert 19 deaths reported at an overcrowded or hinge or refugee camp in bangladesh. And im sorry how much now have all the sporting clothing. The family of george floyd except boxing star Floyd Mayweather jr is also to pay it for his funeral. Its been a week since a black man George Floyds died in Police Custody in minnesota and theres no sign of an end to the process that followed against racism and Police Brutality in the United States the u. S. President on hold trump has threatened to deploy the army if state governors do not end the violence in washington d. C. Police forcibly cleared Peaceful Protesters near the white house so that mr trump could walk to a nearby church mike hanna begins our coverage. Of a peaceful protest outside the white house has dispersed forcibly. Tear gas rubber coated steel bullets sense down grenades are used to force the demonstrators further away a few minutes later the reason becomes clear in a display of pure political theater the president and former reality star walks out of the white house across pennsylvania avenue and through a park which had been surrounded by protesters during the day he arrived at the same Johns Episcopal Church which had been damaged in overnight and rest holding a bible the president tells reporters we have a great country he did not enter the church to inspect the internal damage but instead beckoned to some of those whod walked with him to join him in front of the cameras. I imposed a curfew at 7 pm tweeted the districts mayor a full 25 minutes before the curfew and without provocation federal police used munitions on Peaceful Protesters outside the white house an act that will make the job of the d. C. Police Department Offices more difficult shameful the timing and sequence of events points to one possible interpretation that a peaceful protest was disrupted to allow the president of the United States a photo opportunity a short while the president spoke in the rose garden even as in an extraordinary moment the protesters outside with being dispersed and he essentially threatened to invoke martial law if the city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them my this is entering controversial territory in terms of the insurrection act the president can deploy troops domestically but only in a support role and only at the request of state governors or legislatures he really does not have the right to implemented in off of the states which is what he was saying to me not all 50 states have anything going on and its got the governors still would have the say so with it. The District Of Columbia has no governor and the president is legally allowed to unilaterally deploy military forces in the area which he has already done. In unprecedented scenes military police are deployed alongside Law Enforcement officers in the capital of the United States. As a 7 pm curfew passed in the evening the crackdown on protests continued lines of police advancing ominously almost defying the curfew then the arrests began at paris in accordance with the instructions from the white house a few remaining protesters walking past the Lincoln Memorial for a mind of a better and possibly kind it time mike hanna aljazeera washington chris has been tracking developments for us out of washington overnight chris welcome to the news so mr trump just to be clear on this they cleared what was a peaceful demonstration using allegedly rubber bullets and tear gas for a photo op so the president could hold up the bible. You know thats right peter last night in d. C. There was a mandatory curfew like in Many American cities that have been seeing these protests that have turned violent that curfew was supposed to take effect at 7 oclock by all accounts our reporters that were on the scene in Lafayette Square just across from the white house there might have been thousands of people there but it was all peaceful at about 63635 about 25 minutes before that curfew began and people would have to get off the streets when the president was preparing to give his statement outside at the white house suddenly federal officers as well as National Guardsmen moved on the crowd deploying tear gas shooting rubber bullets according to some sending the crowd scrambling and it was unclear what provoked that in the past its been a provocation things being thrown like concrete or bricks or bottles that causes that type of motion and then it became clear the president said kind of cryptically during his statement that im going to go pay my respects to a special place and then not long after that the president members of his family some cabinet members all crossed out of the white house grounds on foot into Lafayette Square and then over to a church that had been damaged by protesters the night before and democrats and members of the clergy frankly the Episcopal Church are criticizing it as a photo op for an Election Year president does this strategy saying hes going to deploy the military i mean clearly he would then have to. Talk about this that aspect of things with individual state governess but the optics of that surely its a very very high Risk Strategy for the trumpet ministration. Yeah it appears peter that you know the president has a very strong core group of supporters and unlike other president s in the past who might have tried to bring in a Broad Coalition of support it is appeared time and time again that the president is solely relying to motivate on his motivate his very core supporters these are people who are angry about the protests angry about the violence thats taking place they favor a very strict law and order type action against immigrants against these protesters and that appears to be what the president is playing up he said in his Statement Last night was the law and order president and so its obviously a calculation by the president s he in his team that this increasing authoritarian or militarization type of Police Action is going to please the people he wants to vote for him chris thank you she had percent say it was. The protests in washington he sent us this report were about 3 blocks from the white house the police have ministered to spur us most of the protests as well there are charging a gathering of protesters no just behind. Who and we think some police thought to be moving in that direction the core group of protesters however remains behind us. Cattle them by cattle than by the police so the police were very careful to escort the media out of the group and then they kept a core group of protesters locked in surrounded by the police and we assume that they will be they will be detained shortly but now we just have a standoff effectively as weve seen so often in these evenings a protester joined by one protester or what youll hear and it was ariana evans another margin of protest you think the message is getting through. I think today when i deescalate that situation the police i think that showed that at least some of them are listening yes we want to say all we want them all to listen we want them all to be involved in our progress but if they dont want to speak up if they want to comply with Police Brutality thats on them with those Police Officers now that were peaceful and that listened and that decided to compromise with us and this have us move backwards peacefully those are the kind of Police Officers we need everywhere because if not were going to keep having this problem were going to keep having to do these marches were going to keep having to chant have to keep having to do all of this and were tired out of this protest carry on into all this change look like what will mean that we people stop protesting. Change looks like the police Getting BetterMental Health care change the psych police being vetted more for further change actually looks like making sure that these men and women are ready to police the communities that theyre in thats what change looks like changes that prosecuting every Single Police officer with an unjustified Police Shooting and thats a good amount of the rug that is what change looks like we need to diversify the police force and its be more people more colors more genders more sexual orientations on these Police Forces or were going to keep running the same problems their bigotry and their oppression will keep going on if they do not have more diversity within their Police Forces they need Racial Sensitivity Training theres just so many different ways that this situation could be resolved that the president and the d. O. J. Have refused to do ok lets look a little bit more closely at the insurrection act that mike hanna was referring to in his report at the top of the news hour donald trump is threatening to use it which gives him the power to deploy the military it was lost in vote used during the 1002. 00 rockne king riots in los angeles the Congressional Research service reported in 2006 that a president must 1st issue a proclamation ordering quote insurgents to disperse and if that does not work he or she may issue an executive order to deploy troops the act also says the president doesnt need a states permission to send in the military to enforce a law or to suppress rebellion very little and as a former u. S. Deputy assistant attorney general he hosts a podcast called talking feds he says there is almost no legal barrier standing in mr trumps way if he decides to use the army. If he wants and he determines in his discretion that the law cant be enforced in a particular place because of the unrest or demonstrations he can on his own call in the army its true there are these formal requirements but theyre pretty straightforward he can he can got his eyes and crosses ts fairly easily and i think he wants to show whos boss especially in certain jurisdictions where he thinks the. Local authorities arent being Strong Enough and as i say it only takes him on his acting on his own to do it and you know imagine military rolling in in tanks and its kind of a terrifying tablo and thats the reason why its very very rarely invoked the insurrection act theres just a strong cultural prohibition against it theres a special law in fact that says its a crime to do it unless congress has authorized it but thats of course where the insurrection act comes in here Congress Passed that statute after the civil war and it by its terms would authorize that but the overall sort of political and cultural cost i think would be extreme that the sense of military rolling in the streets to quell citizens demonstrations as anathema to most americans just nichols is a political analyst and professor in the africanamerican studies department of the university of maryland he says donald trump is not doing enough im not sure you want. Change any of this with with words and planted and pretty speeches or person or Police Officer is kneeling with people while theyre protesting none of that is what people want people who want substantive change people want actual reform and not just one or 2 here or there actual large scale reshaping of our criminal Justice System going from policing to incarceration and even going into things Like Health Care we need large scale reforms so i dont think that he necessarily would appear in the. Speech but i do think we he could have actually said something that would have been comforting to a certain part of the country now does he have credibility you know as a matter of fact one of my very Close Friends lopez was accused of committing a crime on a jogger in such a park and President Trump put an ad in space calling for his death you know young black latino and so absolutely and 5 other. Well more process to be held in new york city with some turning violent the many shop windows was smashed and police moved in to make arrests curfew was imposed at 11 pm and an even stricter 8 pm go home order will be in place on tuesday people in his own who has more now from the protest in brooklyn new york. This is the scene after night has fallen here in brooklyn were outside of the Barclays Center which is a basketball arena and this has been a flashpoint for some of the protest over the last few nights here in new york right now this is a very peaceful protest by candlelight vigil and mostly young people that are home gathered here right before the curfew is about to go into place and they are supporting each other theyre calling for justice theyre holding up signs listening to somebody speak and this is a very peaceful but you have powerful message that theyre trying to send a message that they want justice were doing this because not only are we not 1st physically we are oppressed and we are pressing the people Police Officers our press their minds are poisoned to believe that they have hurt us when they see. This system oppresses all of us black white brown and everything in between we are here to free the minds of everyone so that they understand him in liberated enough to take a spin for themselves so that we can all live a life thats free. There have certainly been images of rioting and looting in new york city but its also important to see the vast majority of the protests have been exactly like this peaceful young people mostly coming together to protest for their rights and a protest for justice and and really youre getting a sense of a sense of outrage and many telling us that they will stay on the streets as long as it takes. And weve spoken to protests of the cities too is what they told us. I cannot just sit in my room continue my studies continue to work as if nothing is wrong this is something that is affecting every single black person in the United States and it is the duty of nonblack allies like myself to come out here to put our bodies out to show that this is not acceptable it never was and so were here today to really demand that there are investigations into the death of the murderers of george floyd but also that Police Brutality is addressed specifically here in los angeles. People need to come out here and like give positive energy give off positive positive positive a push in the right direction against like how do i say this against. Against well the fact that everyone matters everybody has a place in this world. Where as you can see the editors have. Real i want i want a president trying to make better decisions everybody on his work on this planet matters everybody on this planet has a place everybody has everybody has power and we need to unite well journalists covering the protests have come under attack by Police Offices even after identifying themselves the is a violation of the us 1st amendment in there the pretext the press special about this. This was saturday in minneapolis royces journalists were fooling protesters just after curfew came into effect what do you know from the bomb according to the crew was shot by the bullets despite wearing prince passes and this marked with priests and holding a t.

Why why am i under arrest his crew was also all rested and there was this from an l. A. Times reporter i had my notebook in my hand when the Minnesota State patrol was advancing on protesters and us we had to fight ourselves as press and they fired tear gas canisters honest point blank range. But these social journalists didnt stop minneapolis as protest sprayed so did incidents of Police Assaults and detentions from oakland. To outside the white house where a b. B. C. Cameraman was Pitch Perfect for. The Reporters Committee for freedom of the preschool the targeting of journalists ripper hence a bow and clear violations of the 1st amendment journalists are the eyes and ears built into the Us Constitution that the journalist would be a checks and balance on not only government but institutions the government as well including the police price price. Un special repertory. Us Police Actions towards protesters and the media involved possible violations of International Law by empress reason.
