About the coronavirus thats the World Health Organization was praising its response back in january. The 1st covert 19 related death is reported in the crowded raping a refugee camp in bangladesh which the u. N. Has warned is a high risk. A president who traffics in fear and division thats the scathing attack launched at donald trump by democratic president ial hopeful joe biden hes accused him of fanning the flames of hate as he spoke addressing the death of a black man in Police Custody its been a week now since protests began across the United States after the killing of george floyd at minneapolis last monday kid 3. Became 3. George fords last words with you didnt die resume. Are still being heard include all across this nation. They speak to a nation where too often. Just the color of your skin and put your life and risk the countrys cried out for leadership leadership the key to 9 is leadership that brings us together leadership that can recognize pain and deep grief of communities that have had a knee on their neck for a long time donald trump is turning this country you know battlefield riven by all resentments and fresh fears he thinks division helps it is not this is the most become more important in the nations well being that he leads i ask every american i mean this is a bottom or ask every american look at where we are now and think anew is the issue we are. Just a fair amount of salvage out there as patty kohei and will join us with more how the nationwide on rest is affecting the political campaigns on the way in the u. S. But 1st lets bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly how could a company youve got a president whos threatening to introduce martial law hes calling protest as losers all branding them domestic terrorists and then youve got joe biden looking every inch the elder statesman talking about reconciliation of the importance of leadership. Yeah thats absolutely right in fact it was a very powerful speech by the Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee former Vice President joe biden who has accused the us president of founding the flames of hate and division in the United States there has been widespread condemnation of the u. S. President s heavy handed response to the violent protests that have gripped the United States across more than 100 cities and also for his response in terms of the photo opportunity that has occurred not only today but also late on monday when the park across from the white house was cleared by riot police in firing rubber bullets and tear gas in order to disperse of what the mayor of washington d. C. Says was a peaceful protest advance of her curfew so the u. S. President could step in front of St Johns Episcopal Church here in washington to stage a photo opportunity in fact the House Speaker nancy pelosi has been speaking about this and she has condemned the president s actions hope that the president of the United States would. Follow the lead of so many other president s before him to be a healer in chief and not a. Founder of the flame yesterday we saw a most unfortunate situation where before the curfew the time of the curfew occurred peaceful demonstrators in front of protestors in front of the white house were beaten. Some people came out and beat them to the could clear the area. So the president could come out and go forward what is that. It took kimberly about these Photo Opportunities the one last night and then an hour after joe biden spoke when the president went to the shrine of st john paul the 2nd in washington both have been condemned by religious leaders what is the president playing at. Well the president is certainly trying to appeal to his supporters who. Signed an executive order today on religious freedom and this was an opportunity for him to mark that occasion as you point out going to the shrine of Pope John Paul but the washington archbishop sending out a very strong message in opposition to the president s actions saying i find it baffling and reprehensible any catholic facility would allow itself to be so agree just misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles which calls us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree now the statement goes on to say that Pope John Paul the 2nd was an ardent defender of the rights of human beings and he would not condone the use of tear gas for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace but still this u. S. President has continued to double down on his defense of his actions saying that while he supports the 1st amendment right of peaceful protest after sundown in many of these American Cities thats not what is taking place instead he said the actions against the police and also against private property are the actions of what he calls low lifes and losers and when it comes to washington d. C. Where we seen a very heavy handed military presence including Army Black Hawk helicopters swooping down on protesters we also saw the chair of the joint chiefs mark milley surveying the battlefield if you will with the deployment of the National Guard as some active duty military to the washington d. C. Streets we are now hearing from the attorney general william barr that this is an action that will be repeating itself he says in a statement there will be an even greater Law Enforcement resources and support in the region tonight the most basic function of government is to provide security for the people to live their lives and exercise their rights and we will. Meet that responsibility here in the Nations Capital so its very clear that the trumpet ministration has no intention of backing down despite widespread criticism of their actions a White House Correspondent kimberly how could reporting live from washington kimberly many thanks indeed as committee was saying this is an Election Year and all of these issues are likely to play out on the minds of those as lets bring it out to serious political haneys in maryland following the primaries in the middle of a Global Pandemic and widespread unrest in the United States the gloves a well and truly off the in the election campaign. They really are and its just going to get more heated as you think about it its not only a pandemic with more than 100000. 00 americans dead theres a depression economic depression and now we see the civil unrest there is very happening in states across the country this could get biden job by former Vice President joe biden close to the nomination if he is successful in all of the states and i have to tell you maryland weve seen a really brisk turnout here now what they did is they switched to mail in ballots they move the primary up this is when people elect their favorite either republican or democrat to run in the general election they moved it up until june and they sent mail and ballots to every person in maryland so were seeing a lot of people drop off their ballots seen some people go in to vote obviously theres concern during the pandemic but i want to give you a little bit of a different perspective by george today by Michael Hurst he is a republican voter and youre the person every all the pollsters talked about you voted for obama and you switched to trump youre going to vote for trump again why yes right if things the better big one was illegal Immigration Enforcement bill clinton was very tough on crime tough on Immigration Enforcement and weve been overrun by a large number of Illegal Immigrants many of which have been receiving Welfare Benefits even though theyre not supposed to but its been happening and i saw it happen firsthand and so basically i saw a. Trump is actually being closer to bill clinton the 1990 s. In todays democrats does it bother you that hes pretty children in cages i mean hes not putting children in cages what we had was detention facilities which were built for single men coming in and we were overwhelmed in part due to the flores ruling by judges and this encouraged large numbers of people to come in with families now that has decreased again because of the state and mexico policy so thus people have to apply for asylum from their home country or from the 1st safe country which it often ends with mexico how do you feel hes handled the coronavirus the response well i think hes done a lot of what he could do my experience in government has showed me that oftentimes walled people tend to blame the opposite Political Party oftentimes theres a limited number of things the president actually do he did some of our things such as limiting travel from china and imposing to be quarantined on americans returning from their other wise decisions like you know should there be quarantines or other restrictions those are decisions that are specifically to be made by governors and mayors and they did brief the governors way back in march and i think hes actually done about as well as he could do based on the circumstances what about his rhetoric during all of this tension and all this upheaval and all this i mean he cleared a peaceful protest to go stand in front of a church with a bible what do you think of that well actually thats not what the National Park police said they said that some people actually spent on and on insolent things with the secret service im not sure exactly what happened so without having been there firsthand but i believe if you look at what hes actually said he said he believes in protecting peaceful protest but not those of anarchists and he also said if governors are not going to protect peoples lives and property from enter history bricks shooting bullets lighting fires that he would step in and he does have Legal Authority if people dont do that and the people are in there michael thank you so much for joining us i appreciate your sure specht of us all is all right good luck to your candidate if you so hes here for a friend of his. Running as a republican in Congress Handing out literature trying to get those votes out and again a fairly brisk response here in maryland for a primary that usually has low voter turnout could be in part because they did close a lot of the polling facilities so there are fewer and i think there are about 42 and the whole state of maryland that are open but we are seeing people come out and vote making their voices heard in this time of discontent zeros party culhane live in maryland many thanks indeed patty protesters across the United States upon taking to the streets to oppose Police Brutality demonstrations have been held in more than 350 cities on monday many of them organized by the group black lives massah along with Police ForcesNational Guard troops have also been deployed at least 23 states to handle the protests in new york thousands have been robbing me of the Police Department headquarters demanding an end to Police Brutality and new yorks mayor bill de blasio is extending the nighttime curfew in americas largest city until sunday hes rejected donald trump sulfa military assistance and says deploying the National Guard would only heighten tensions. We do not need nor do we think its wise for the National Guard to be in new york city nor any Armed Forces Im going to tell you why this is really important we have this hour right now if someone needs a History Lesson when outside armed forces go into communities no good comes of it. Lets go live now to new york kristen salumi is there for us kristen you were at that protest near Police Headquarters what was the mood. Well theres a lot of resolve amongst protesters theyre not backing down this is the 6 days straight citywide protest its a very Grassroots Movement weve seen different groups having different events all around the city several in a day as you said there were hundreds of people here just a short time ago in new yorks foley square they have marched on you might see a few coming up the street behind me here theyve been marching throughout the city today and for the last week there have been some violent incidents the last couple nights even though the movement is overwhelmingly been peaceful the last 2 nights have seen looting some Police Officers attacked and thats what led the mayor to extend the curfew and have started earlier tonight right after dark in fact at 8 pm but again all of that has protesters just more resolved than ever and i have one here with me we have secured mitchum who is from the bronx and came out to be a part of this event today she kara tell me what it is that brought you out here today especially seeing what you see in the last couple days well what brought me out here is the general fight for our people i mean and the fact that is peaceful and we still get out point across thats what brought me out just justice in general for not just black people or people i know you live in the bronx which is one of the places that saw serious looting last night did you see any of that and how did that make you feel while i was not there personally but i do have friends and family that live by florida more close to that area in the bronx and just seeing it was just just heartening it was saddening it was a lot of you know looting and violence it was a couple of fires that was it was half for me to see i mean the understanding of it i do understand the feeling but the way that things were. The way that things were. But out there i think that it could have went a different way as far as violence and nonviolence do you think it will hurt the. Efforts of protestors like yourself i do think that it will hurt the efforts of us because were protesting peacefully so when they do things like the looting in the violence and. Things that theyre doing out there in messes it up for us because it makes look like were also doing it were also you know down with that type of you know solution and some of us are really not we just want to protest and put it out there that you know were tired of certain things that have been happening and if theres enough we want to get a point across but we dont want anyone to get hurt or anything like that we just want to be heard and you said you feel like youre making a difference i do think that im making a difference it takes a village and im happy to be a part of it were all banding together were all working together were all walking together not just the United States but everywhere around the world so i do think that its coming together definitely will make a difference in the future security thank you so much for taking the time to stop your march and talk to us at aljazeera do appreciate it as i said more events planned throughout the day no signs of demonstrators backing down but a lot of pressure on the mayor who was criticized by the governor for the Police Response and his inability to stop the looting so well see hopefully a more peaceful night but thats what well be watching for as things progress christine many thanks l. Z. This christian salumi that lives in new york 6 Police Officers in the u. S. City of atlanta have been charged with aggravated assault for using Excessive Force during a protest on saturday you may have seen this clip on social media bodycount footage theyve captured them dragging a pair of College Students from a car and tasing them throughout the incident students can be heard screaming and asking whats going on both the students have now been released on bail. When a private autopsy report office new evidence against the officers who arrested george floyd the document describes his death in custody as mudda. John hendren reports 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 his eroded the more really diminished faith that people here in this region 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
