As anti racism rallies spread across europe. Has covered 19 deaths top 400000 globally scenes of desperation in some countries afghanistan is fast running out of hospital beds. And reading books is fast catching up among children in russia. Keep them indoors and on time how much now have all the sport including more teams in germany is one does he get joined the protest against a Racial Injustice. Going beginning in the United States for the u. S. President donald trump has ordered the National Guard to pull out of washington d. C. That is despite a 12th night of protests across the country demanding change after the death george. Floyd mr trump announced the order on twitter saying ive just given an order from National Guard to stop the process of withdrawing from washington d. C. Now that everything is on the perfect control they will be going home but can quickly return if need far fewer protesters showed up last night than anticipated exclamation mark we have 2 correspondents monitoring the developments in the United States kristen salumi standing by for us in new york 1st to our White House Correspondent complete joining us out of washington so kimberly weve been hearing from william ball whats he been saying. Yeah hes been defending the trumpet ministrations response throughout these protests particularly monday evening that controversy all moment when the white house or at least the attorney general ordering the federal police to clear the area around Lafayette Square pushing them back using tear gas he denies the tear gas was used although the protesters say thats exactly what it was well your bar saying that it was pepper balls also saying that the troops that were present for that execution of pushing back the Peaceful Protesters that it was really a last resort that the protesters were warned multiple times but they refused to listen to the orders of police and that is why they moved in he was also asked about systemic racism in policing something he did not is a problem. I think theres racism in the United States still but i dont think that the local Law Enforcement system is systemically racist i understand that distrust however of the Africanamerican Community given the history in this country. I think we have to recognize that for most of our history our institutions were explicitly racist. More astonishing pictures of mass protests this weekend kimberly im intrigued to find out from you whether we think that all of the disparate groups that make up the black lives Matter Campaign are precisely on the same page because some of them are saying actually will the mayor of washington is a little bit of an issue but if you look at the broader picture if she went with the idea of it becoming the black who lives matter plaza which leads up to the building youre standing in front of thats visible from space thats got the message out there. Wow youre really touching on something that has a lot of nuances but it is important it is part of the discussion youre right these protests have not been one voice it is not a monolithic point of view in fact there are a number of points of view we know from the f. B. I. In fact theres everything from the far left and t. Which has sort of a radical militant opposition to right wing ideology in that we have in the far right we have White Nationalist white supremacist groups that have been marching and in the middle there are also very nuanced different groups and youre right what it comes to the issue of black lives matter theyre not really very happy with the citys mayor they feel that many of her policies as an africanamerican woman that has grown up in washington d. C. Have actually been detrimental to many of the poorest blacks in the community for example allowing Property Values to rise the taxation levels so high that people that have been in their home for many many generations no longer can afford to pay the bills are pushed out of washington d. C. And whats happening white people are coming in and making this a less Diverse Community so theres their argument is that you really dont always speak for us so its been a problem but overall i think what has happened in this movement is that there is one unified message that there is a problem of racism in policing there is a problem of aggressive use of force that i should point out happens whether youre white or black in some cases and theres also a problem of oppressing those that they often have the least means to defend themselves so i think the overarching message is very strong and thats why its now going to be taken up in terms of legislation on capitol hill the House Democrats we know are going to take the 1st steps in a long legislative process at least at the federal level to stop. Reforming policing looking at systemic racism looking at the use of Police Practices chokeholds can hurt you no matter what your skin color is they also know that there have been cases where the bad cops that have multiple charges against them as in the case of the Police Officer that knelt on George Floyds nass neck killing him at igniting these protests that if there was a registry to make sure those cops were not on the street after multiple allegations against them that would solve a lot of problems so the 1st step the legislation being unveiled on capitol hill on monday and what will people are really looking towards is wednesday because thats when an emotional hearing will take place on this legislation and well be hearing from George Floyds brother but we should also point out while this is looking at federal policing a lot of the change has to come at the Grassroots Level where often the voting mesha especially among young people pitifully low according to brock obama so this is just the 1st step in what may take a generation hopefully less to try and reform kimberly thank you so much can be held at White House Correspondent there reporting live for the news hour the mayor of new york says hes lifting the city could if you off the south that is relatively peaceful protest bill de blasio has also announced disciplinary action against some Police Officers for their handling of the demonstrations kristen salumi joins us live with that angle on this big story out of new york city christine just looking behind you there the protest making a point but it looks perfectly perfectly peaceful. Yeah the last 24 hours have seen a lot of people coming out into the streets for rallies martin is that is continuing and they have been largely peaceful here i you know you can see were in Lower Manhattan its kind of between events right now but lots and lots of people are out with their signs waiting for the next march as we march through the streets. Earlier people on the sidelines were cheering and. Taking pictures horns honking as people passed so there is a lot of support for this movement. Throughout new york that weve seen and its starting to have an impact on leaders as well the mare and now earlier as you mentioned that he is getting rid of the curfew that was in place starting at 8 pm that was something that demonstrators have rallied against and said violated their Constitutional Rights last night it wasnt place in many continue to stay on the streets past the curfew but the police took kind of a hands off approach and by all accounts it was a relatively peaceful my we dont have exact numbers on a rest but the mare said that it was the best it was a showed the best that the city could be and showed the city at its best and so as a result of that weve got the curfew being rolled back another mare also talking about shifting funding away from police to Community Organizations that can deal with communities of color where issues are perhaps the strongest that leads to encounters with police thats a major concession on the part of bill de blasio a lot of detail still needs to be worked out and exactly what hes talking about how hes talking about doing that. By talking about taking money away from the Police Officers that something very strongly weve been hearing from demonstrators on the streets over the last couple of days Governor Cuomo not going quite that far he also unveiled his own Reform Program thats expected to be voted on this week so a lot of things happening in response to this outcry that were seeing in one quick concern i should bring up tomorrow is the reopening in new york for the coronavirus after 2 months of being shut down stores being closed manufacturing being stopped some things are going to start reopening on monday so were seeing the protest movement continue to go strong but also moves towards reopening the city and some concern from the governor about people catching the coronavirus at events like this you can see is a lot of people out. A lot of people Wearing Masks in groups so they have up to the testing in new york city as a result of that theyre encouraging people who are attending demonstrations to get tested all of that to say that the demonstrators are showing no signs of letting up continue to hit the street in force and what continues to be at this point mostly a peaceful demonstration christine thank you very much kristen salumi our correspondent there in new york well and see racism protesters in brazil have taken to the streets in Rio De Janeiro many of them are also marching to voice their anger against the government and president. Of the coronavirus pandemic the government recently decided to stop publishing its running total of virus deaths and infections and critics say the move is an attempt to hide the worlds 2nd highest number of cases last in america to the sea and human joins us live now from santiago to see it welcome to the news do we know what the latest figures are and how much those figures generating. But they just figures in terms of corona virus we do know there are at least 64000 deaths but the infection rate is still a big question because there hasnt been really widespread testing in brazil and whats happening now is that people believe that the government is trying to manipulate those figures by not publishing as you say the running total for a while there John Hopkins University wasnt even including brazil any longer because of this president. Has been under a lot of pressure from Political Parties governors mayors and the medical community but he says hes not going to budge theyre going to only run the daily total of deaths and and today we understand that its expected to be between one and a half to 2000 People Per Day thats more than one person per minute which is extremely high as for these demonstrations they actually have but were called before others in other countries got together to protest against racism in the world in their own countries and in the United States it was called against bulls and thats because its believed that he is attacking democracy in brazil he is not handling property responsibly the pandemic and that is why the country has this enormous number of infections and. This just about for the for a long time people were staying indoors because the governors have called for lockdowns not the not the president but now theyre beginning to come out to show that they also count that their opinions count and that they are more than those smaller groups that have been out every single week especially on sundays with the president himself without face masks or any other social distancing measures to show their support for him so its going to be now a tug of war to see who can bring more people out onto the streets. Unpack the numbers for us if we can or give us a broad sense and see if the people who are demonstrating do they just want to transparency from mr. Or do they want him gone i mean all the protests crossing the line into being Anti Government demonstrations. Absolutely this goes way way beyond the pandemic what we have in brazil is a very very dangerous cocktail you have an extremely difficult Economic Situation there was a recession before that economic the Economic Situation in brazil the number of unemployed the number of people who are homeless the people who have no food and of course no medical attention has grown tremendously since the pandemic started in some places more than others but it is serious everywhere and then on top of that you have a president who is fighting with the institutions to take even the with the Supreme Court and who has said publicly that he will not obey of any decision by the Supreme Court which is investigating him and his sons for wrongdoings that. Theoretically at least impeachable offenses so hes already said he will dock go with whatever one of the most important independence situations of the country says and this is some of his more fanatical if you like supporters have been protesting in front of the Supreme Court Building Armed saying that they would that they want the Supreme Court judges to be imprisoned and or killed so were getting i would see the real confrontation now between the 3 areas of the of the discrete Democratic Institutions of Brazil Congress is sort of city there in the middle but then you also have a government that has more and more bringing in the military into the cabinet into key posts and so there is a lot of fear amongst brazilians that this could lead to a military coup or some kind of a military intervention against the state of democracy in that country it based on farfetched some say but it isnt something that hasnt happened before ok lucien human thank you so much and thats america reporting live from some to argo. Lets bring in good stuff hes the founder of the brazilian report an online magazine he joins us from sao paolo in brazil ghosts of a riviera welcome to the news hour here his critics would say of mr paulson r. O. Hes been hiding his head in the sand for months and months now for him what do you think he thinks hes trying to achieve by handling this crisis in this very particular way. Thanks for having really since the beginning of the pandemic. The Leather World the severity of corporate needs in crisis and has tried to the flick any blame for the economic fallout of the pandemic or the death toll. From the from the start what he tries to do is to put the blame on state governors because here in brazil we are a federation then lowered ministrations have a lot of power so hes trying to the flag the fire the flight of blame just yesterday he said that the millions of jobs that are being shut down brazil are by no means the federal governments fault and now because of the quarantines created by state governors the 3 worst affected countries lets globalized this gustava the 3 worst affected countries the United States the u. K. And brazil youve got 2 president s and one Prime Minister would it be fair to say that all 3 men Boris Johnson both sonar and donald trump they all have that kind of populist tinge to them where they go for a simple dynamic of politics where they try to sell a message and yet theres a disconnect theyre not handling that popularity and that populous message that they desire to put their desire to have when it comes to popularity theyre not handling it very well theyre not handling the crisis very well thats what their critics might say. Absolutely and i think the comparison between boss another and donald trump is the best one because most of the has taken his political cuckoos from the american president from going against socialism lation should the found the hydroxide chloroquine as a possible cure for 19 to defend the major crackdown by military forces when we have a government or in say races protesters this week he has called and to fascist movements that have protested against his administration terrorists which is. Mimicking what donald trump has done over the past week will this do for mr paulson r. O. Could this end his political career if he carries on determined lee doggedly trying to handle it in the way hes handling it because it occurs to me you know you cant disguise people whove got 19 you cant hide them away you cant make them disappear and people talk to people and clearly even through websites like your own the truth will get out there. You cant hide quoted 1000 patients but has to sure that the government is doing everything in its power to do so for instance we have shown just yesterday on the president reports that in places where authorities are saying that they are beating over the 19 and that the death numbers are very low we have seen skyrocketing numbers for deaths related to acute respiratory syndrome so the government is trying to do any kind of way to not only more so now the but also state governments are trying to hide the data we regarding if this will do for boston at least hard to predict right now because of many question marks we have in brazil this far boston are the is by any standard the least popular president in history recent history after just 15 months in office but then we have late last year just told the very big presence of the military forces that have remained quite them big was to their commitments for the marker se
