Clearing the way for mr trump to visit a church nearby. In other news the 1st confirmed covert 19 deaths reported at an overcrowded reinjure refugee camp in bangladesh. And how the virus on top of years of crowds is eating into profits from a vital cash crop in zimbabwe. Now santa how much now have all the sporting clothing the family of george floyd except the boxing star Floyd Mayweather jr has offered to pay for his funeral. Lets get going its been a week since a black man named George Floyds died in Police Custody in minnesota and theres no sign of an end to the protests that followed that against racism and Police Brutality across the United States the us press. Wouldnt donald trump has threatened to deploy the army of state governors do not end the violence in Washington Police forcibly clear Peaceful Protesters close to the white house so that he could walk to a nearby church we have White House Correspondent kimberly standing by for us jay gray is in minnesota life to both of them in a moment after this latest report from mike hanna. A peaceful protest outside the white house has dispersed forcibly. Tear gas rubber coated steel bullets 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 Lafayette Park which had been surrounded by protesters during the day he arrived at the sin Johns Episcopal Church which had been damaged in overnight and wrist 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 beckon to some of those who 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 proper cation 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. 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 our 50 states which is what he was saying to me not all 50 states had anything going on and its got. The governors deal would happen. By 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 an evening the crackdown on protests continued lines of police advancing ominously almost defying the curfew then the arrests began at parity 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 live to the white house my colleague kimberly good afternoon good morning do you think that conversation is going on in the building behind you right now about how to deploy the military onto the streets of the United States. Theres no question the u. S. President is making no apologies for what he said is that he wants to be a law and order president he says he took an oath to protect the American People and thats exactly what he intends to do but the mayor of washington d. C. Mayor marion barry was or has also been speaking early this morning once again calling the actions of the u. S. President to clear the streets in advance 25 minutes in advance roughly of that 7 pm curfew here Eastern Standard Time she called that shameful she also said that it was an inappropriate use of the military and thats what an increasing number of d. C. Politicians are saying theyre appalled and theyre also angry saying that they believe that washington d. C. Could handle its own business but the argument of the white house is clearly you couldnt because for 3 consecutive nights people were seeing their stores looted they were seeing Property Damage and there was the risk of injury to more of the d. C. Residents so the u. S. President once again making no apologies for deploying the National Guard for active duty military taking to the streets something he said that he would do around the country if the u. S. Governors are not able to in essence handle their own business now this is poised really to become an election issue in november the president s response and whether or not you agree with this heavy handed approach i can tell you that there is already teed up a address by the democratic presumptive nominee for the president ial race in november and that is of course former Vice President joe biden he will be speaking from philadelphia he is expected to address the president s handling of the riots that have erupted as a result of the death of george floyd as well we know that the u. S. President will be appearing before the cameras today he is expected to travel to across washington d. C. To the shrine of Pope John Paul the 2nd that will be happening at 15 g. M. T. Shortly after that he will be returning. To the white house decide an executive order on religious freedom ok kimberly thanks very much not a great in minneapolis j. 7 days old and now clearly people are looking forwards towards the funeral towards the Memorial Services for george floyd but one week on from the death of that man what do you think the direction of travel is when it comes to the protests and the and the situation were seeing on the ground night after night well look peter protesters not only here in minneapolis but across the country have said theyre going to continue to march that its something they feel like they have to do to honor George Floyds memory and to make sure policing changes across this country i want you to take a look at the 1st Police Precinct get out here in minneapolis looks almost like a military post right now youve got the huge barricades out front another lot of barricades inside and the National Guard on standby lockdown in this area and other parts of the city and really frankly cities across the country right now and d what weve seen over the last couple of nights here is a promising trend there have been plenty of arrests most of those for violating curfew but the violence here has subsided for now now if you ask these folks or anyone on any side of the issues here i dont think they would tell you that they feel comfortable with where things are theres still a tension across this city but the last 2 nights have been very positive and on both sides by the way the protesters here saying they think the violence was taking away from their primary message so they are happy to see for the most part that thats it is well ok chief thanks very much. From minnesota with zeroes correspondent john hendren. George floyd tried to tell police he was struggling for air. In a private autopsy requested by floyds Family Doctors concluded that was what caused his death the cause of death in my opinion is as fixed due to compression of the neck. As he lay on the street the official Hennepin County coroners report says floyd died of a heart attack brought on by head and neck compression but it found no evidence that he died of strangulation and said his coronary Artery Disease and hypertension were contributing factors the private autopsy contradicts that saying all 3 officers who knelt on floyd contributed to a death it calls murder the autopsy shows that mr floyd had no underlying medical problem that caused or contributed to his death that has demonstrators on the street questioning authority you know i dont think he was going to have a heart attack that day and pass away without what happened to him on the street to the dueling autopsies hes eroded the already diminished faith that people here in the streets have an american institutions 1st many of the protesters of course lost faith in the police then they lost faith in the politicians who sent the police into crackdown on them now theyre questioning the coroners office. I dont trust them i cant how could you after this keeps happening when they try to hide it they try to pump or it up that the Institution Balance most to try the top there is Law Enforcement policy. Just keep the transfer money not. Terence floyd came to the scene of his brothers death to urge calm. Horse. And a very dark matter not at all my goodness not birth of our stuff thought it was going off up. There not homo but of the earth another one. Left on earth another one that he said is what his brother would have wanted john hendren l. G. 0 minneapolis. We heard earlier about the u. S. Insurrection acts that gives mr trump the power to deploy the military on home soil it was lost in boats during the 1902 rodney king riots in los angeles the Congressional Research service reported in 2006 that the president must 1st issue a proclamation ordering quotes 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 law or to suppress rebellion lets bring in senior political analyst Marwan Bashara welcome back to the news sending in the military on the part of donald trump is that the best way to decompress this crisis but clearly there is a consensus that it is not and clearly his camp with us is not exactly the same as others who are either criticizing him or advising in the sense that President Trump as a whole other. Would give a shit if you were behind whats going on im not sure and some analysis im not sure whether he is unhappy with this situation as it is because thats all remember that the last few weeks have not been good for all the economy is in fact there are. 14000000 unemployed the stock market is not doing very well over 100000 americans have died under his watch. And weve seen now these scenes of angry protesters not to be africanamericans and i think he wants to hold on to this because he is trailing his democratic opponent in the poor was terribly thrilling him quite back there like you know a whole number of points so i think he needs this. This anger that is going on and the possibility of using it or using the fear mongering if you will that probably some americans are. Feeling and he would like to exploit that or what in america call white trash meaning getting the support in the sympathy of a whole bunch of white middle class america against black america in order to serve him in the elections watching and listening to some of the arab language media in this region overnight and 1st thing this morning some of them referring to what were seeing in the states as an American Spring a clear reference to the arab spring i guess with particular reference to the events in egypt 20112012 are there parallels there because if you look back just at washington over the past what 15 hours now a peaceful protest outside because president ial palace is broken up by armed men with tear gas and rubber bullets i mean thats one parallel straight off. Absolutely well the other part of it was that the president of egypt today is of course Donald Trumps favorite. But really more seriously i think whats what really what weve seen in egypt and the United States is really the killing of one innocent egyptian and this case that the killing of one innocent american needing to enough people because of the pent up tension in the site yesterday was a whole a whole people is finally going difficult to greet not only in that very particular instance but for decades for years and i think in a way this is also why echoed in whats going on in israel palestine where you know the palestinians middle name is i cant breathe after 5060 years of occupation so in a sense yes you do have a sort of a moment of kind of an American Spring you have well its a problem moment oh an american intifada if you will and weve seen that a stain is an egyptian is and others sympathizing inside it directly with their american counterparts and they have seen an incredible. You know more yeah of george more on the warm on the occupied west bank so you can imagine that what is going on in the United States is of course is echoed in our whole other way in and of middle east and middle easterners here there are still scratching their heads why americans and their own free will and that a president that has a tendency to act like a middle east leaders we cant find the answer for that clearly my when youre not a fortune teller but phosphor would say a month or 6 weeks for us the u. S. Military is on the ground and were used to seeing the pictures of them on the ground in america in the american heartland in streets in city streets those kind. Of locations if theres a point where theres that image of a u. S. Army soldier with a gun probably a white guy probably dressed as they would dress worthy on the ground in iraq or in kuwait or in syria say and hes pointing his gun at a black man or a black woman or worse than that he fires the gun and somebody dies is that the moment when donald trump loses the election sure jule for november the 3rd. Well yes under this sort of scenario i think you could say so but that think if we got to that scenario that means president is not about to hold another election in the United States i remember clearly just 2 days ago. His son it was asked whether they had actually like i think they said no but he said well i dont know i cannot sure i can commit that i can commit to that i think if this or other thins tendency continues and if were talking about martial law about being in the military council and so forth which by the way i dont think would happen but if it does it does really goes you know if there is a ration as it where and does impose a loss of on the United States then i think thats going to be the beginning of the end of the american democracy because im not sure hes going to do that in order to hold elections i think he should be doing that because he knows he cannot win the elections d and i think for many the idea of sort of he had intent and sees that weve seen over the years when pressed on thrawn we need coming to the surface now in a whole new way and hes scary to many not only in the United States but also around the world because after all a lot of people looked up to the United States as being some sort of a beacon of liberal democracy and to see the United States for in this block connell. To work some sort of emotional low bringing in that meat into the streets from iraq to going to something thats a very very dangerous precedent so on the one hand i think the governors will not accept it i think the American Public will not accept it in general and i think if it is imposed thats not because that would lead to the end of President Trump its because he thinks it is the end and hence he would use whatever means at the supposal in order to make sure he stays in power always a compelling conversation thank you so much good to talk to. The u. N. Human rights chief Michelle Bachelet has weighed into whats going on as well she says the protests triggered by the killing of george floyd are highlighting not only Police Violence against people of color but also inequalities in Health Education employment and endemic racial discrimination.
