S. Defense secretary james mattis has denounced the Donald Trumps handling of the protests accusing the president of trying to divide the country the comments followed over butte from the current defense chief who said he was opposed to trumps idea of sending in the military my kind of reports from washington. The protesters are once again out in the Nations Capital gathering in the percentage of the white house and now familiar scenes but in the course of days of demonstration there have been unprecedented sights military Police Deployed alongside Law Enforcement units at the president s instruction military and National Guard helicopters flying low over crowds using the down drop from rotors to cause people to scatter a tactic often used in iraq or other zones of foreign u. S. Military deployment the president has contemplated invoking the insurrection act as seldom used nor introduced in the early 1900 sentry that subject to certain conditions could allow the domestic deployment of the military in the event of civil unrest or insurrection this strongly opposed by the secretary of defense the option to use active duty forces in a Law Enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations we are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the insurrection act president Spokes Person brushed aside the secretarys comments president has the Sole Authority to invoke answer action act it is definitely a tool within his power this president has one singular and that is protecting americas streets we cannot have burning churches we cannot have Police Officers who are shot we cannot have businesses that are looted and destroyed the insurrection act is a tool available the president has the Sole Authority i mean if needed he will use it earlier sources at the pentagon announced that armed military units that had been deployed near the city were being sent back to their home bases but this decision was reverse stopped of the secretary of defense held a meeting at the white house and on soldiers remain poised for immediate deployment of the president so decide then in an extraordinary statement to former defense secretary denounced the president for dividing the nation esteemed general james mattis resigned in december 28th after a serious policy disagreements with President Trump he refused to comment then saying he would when the time was right now hes condemned the president for as he puts it ordering troops to buy the Constitutional Rights of their fellow citizens and he continues donald trump is the 1st president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American People does not even pretend to try instead he tries to divide us we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years of the deliberate effort we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years without mature leadership heavily on National Guard troops deployed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial a graphic image of a society divided putting troops against a city and its residents they are meant to serve i can ill just say or washington. Of former u. S. President barack obama addressed the crisis brought about by the death of george floyd he says people of color have witnessed too much violence and called for progress and Police Reforms i want to speak directly to the young men and women color in this country. Who is where im just so eloquently described we have witnessed too much violence and too much of it and if you want and some of the violence has come. From folks who were supposed to be serving and protecting you. I want you to know that you matter i want you to know that your lives matter that your dreams matter she covered tons he has woven the protests from washington d. C. Where there was a heavy military presence. Wednesday was by far the largest protest weve seen yet in d. C. Thousands upon thousands protested not just here outside the white house but around the city but it was also by far the largest show of military force that weve seen so far the protests federally controlled National Guards rather mysterious federally controlled paramilitary groups who are uniform but have no identifying markings but we understand from various federal agencies plus always that ever present threat of some 1600 active military units who are stationed just outside d. C. Who are ready to be here within the hour without to have their riot gear were told they have the bandits there on the outskirts they can be here within within the hour so its rather chilling to know all that however everything is going very peacefully the military units here certainly the National Guard units have not lashed out as weve seen often said on monday when they were just around lash out at protesters for apparently no reason that everyone is this they just kept the line they havent really done anything which is of great relief to everyone but ive talked to some of the protesters who are here today. Keith whats your feeling there protesting when youre face to face with such immense force potentially. As much as were presented with a force they are you know our presence is a lot more forceful than they are because you know theyre the ones with the weapons what does the weapons mean if were not doing anything harmful they can hurt us where our amendment is to peacefully protest the more we peacefully protest they cannot kick us off here they cannot send us anywhere they cannot do anything to us as long as we have peacefully protest in the history of. Peaceful protest is often met with violence from Security Forces in the United States. Youre right it does end up in violence from Security Forces but thats just proving a point thats why we need to be out here more we need to bond together even more the more that we bond together the more that we are together the harder it is for them to come against us. Libyas u. N. Recognize government says it has full control of the capital tripoli after fighting with forces loyal to wall off. Jenny forces have also retaken control of an abandoned airport in southern tripoli after launched an offensive to take control of the capital just over a year ago fighting continues but government Officials Say acosta has also lost significant ground in erie is close to his stronghold of tarhouni thats all coming as libyan Prime Minister for his own sorrows is in ankara to be turkeys president of egypt. Now were going to get more on the talks in turkey shortly with sin and cos who 1st lets go to mahmoud at the airport in saw them tripoli mahmoud what do we know what makes the g. N. A. T. So confident that it has control of tripoli. Well the robber taking control of this inactive the Old International airport the Government Forces that managed to move beyond their port and push have to his forces back beyond the minutes that they have bulldozers this southern borders of the capital tripoli now this ignorance of this airport as the military commanders of the government here tell us it is that it they now have stopped tufted its forces from targeting get many areas inside tripoli by. Airstrikes and also by sending in rockets from this airport now this airport remained for one year and that helped us forces control and the Government Forces say that they were engaged in fierce of battles over the past year until they finally managed to be captured this airport the Government Forces say that to their diddy captured or their control of the airport is partly thanks to the advance of the weapons it provided to the government by turkey as you know this is. By virtue of the military and Security Agreement cede to between you and recognize the Prime Minister face and the turkish president president of egypt last november the only problem remains now for the Government Forces in the land mines planted by half as forces in the vicinity of the airport which oppose a threat not only for the Government Forces but also for the displays civilians who cannot wait to return home after the Government Forces took control of the airport and its vicinity now the Government Forces have also advanced in many areas and they pushed house that us forces back beyond the odd minutes as a minister to the borders of the capital tripoli that are now chasing them in the vicinity of the city of thought who are these the Government Forces say that they are now preparing for a fresh offensive to move on the city of that one of the last stronghold of half that his forces in the west of libya rob thank you very much indeed i want to bring in sin and cos you knew from istanbul from the reaction out of turkey. Cinema just the fact that this announcement is made being made about tripoli on the day when the Prime Minister is in color to talk to president to one really cant be much of a coincidence candidate. Well. I must say that this announcement was welcomed by just sorts especially after everything recapturing. A base this is a race is very important for turkey as well because. After means may when the g. N. A. T. Forces recaptured based there for. There are actually rumors that may deploy its forces to a base and continue its trading any cooping facilities for the g. N. A. T. Forces and its allied forces over there so there may be a coincidence but. Not to be as well for us today is Prime Minister. Visits is very important because it also coincides with the defer to Prime Ministers visit to moscow which happened yesterday and after that visit Russian Foreign ministry issued this statement that they are going to cherish for everything to be in line with the a uns a commission. Of the situation in libya this is not the 1st visit of Prime Minister to as a surprise to cherokee but this was this is different because before he used to come here and visit take a government institutions like Defense Ministry of Foreign Ministry chief of Army Intelligence if for the logistics and military support that turkey is providing for the g. N. A. T. Its a lot forces on the ground but and also he used to meet with presence are gone but this time theyre going to talk about a political solution then libya thats why it is important because the messages from mosco which were given to deputy Prime Minister yesterday will also be discussed it within the hour during the meeting that is going to take place in ankara soon and thank you very much indeed that Sinan Christiane to bring us up to date from istanbul there i want to bring in on us over once hes director of the tripoli based so their constituency is joining us live from london on skype thank you very much indeed for giving us your time this announcement about the g. N. A. T. Taking control of tripoli how significant is this is this a Tipping Point in this conflict. So the new years i mean its been coming for a year now. I mean all of the forces that have coalesced around have those last stronghold in western libya the talent on him which is very very close to tripoli this is this is really important to end after his ability to return to immediate conflict in tripoli and it was always hovering over the negotiations that began in january and february of this year after the war the talks in berlin and as your point just explained you know this is now as you know is in a better position to live in the goetia shoes but its also a much more precarious position because many of its combatants many of its forces on the ground really didnt pursue it hoped at least that libya to stronghold in the in the turn of last march on the outskirts of benghazi and many believe that they can then negotiate but theres going to be a real split within the generals forces here and its political leaders as this search for a political solution goes on has sent in was talking about nevertheless one would assume that theyre fighting on the ground isnt something going to stop what is the risky thing that there is going to be more conflict and whats going to take to actually make that stop and make the civilian safer in libya. Well i mean you know were only 9 years since the u. N. Voters arent resolution of the 73 theres doctrine the responsibility to protect should have been something that they that they chose to return to because you know libyas that was under un mandates to return to april 4th doesnt seen one helicopter launched as offensive many of the supporters of the Government National accord and many of those that oppose it by after today are going to be lost trust in the u. N. Process and i think for then theyll continue to fight suit something that philip up there is weaker now i think you have a major major problems and major challenges Going Forward because you have so many conflicts in libya that are just full on these very very local lines and those forces that are now fighting with the jenae are made up of forces from western libya but also forces that were displaced by helicopters and allied forces inside that were so its partially intercommunal conflict its also one that has ellen a. J. And it kind of that i would do it but often times when you find that its intercommunal its you know brother brother and cousin or cousin its just so much more beautiful there are so many more Human Rights Violations and that this is something that has been a constant tren
