And we are on about the 12th day of nationwide protests over the death of george boyd including demonstrations right here in the Nations Capital and today d. C. Is mare is sharing a strong message and making a bold move just steps away from the white house thats where we can find are too scared shes on the ground with more. The middle so you could say that d. C. Mayor marion kind of all did herself in this message writing the letters black lives matter that take up this entire street where im standing right now were at that black lives matter but you can see in the distance behind me its literally just a block away from the white house trying to send that message this is video actually from twitter this morning where the crews were actually painting and finishing the finishing off the thinking touches on the black lives matter bureau that stretches again as i mentioned for almost 3 blocks leading up to the white house now once the crews were fenice there was a ceremony and a moment of silence retorts lloyd right in front of Lafayette Park where actually the 16th street side was actually taken down and. This area were standing in is now renamed black live so matter was up you also had bows are posting on twitter a letter that she sent to donald trump ending the state of emergency in d. C. Saying the protesters have been peaceful and that the metro police didnt make a single arrest thursday night which is why hes calling on trucks to remove any federal Law Enforcement or military presence in the city now you had trump earlier today visiting maine where he had a round table and he visited a high school along with a plant thats making personal up protection gear for the covert 19 democrats still going on but you also had him talking about the Paycheck Protection Program flexibility act of 2020 but before that he actually responded to bows or while he was in maine saying this tweet the incompetent mayor of washington d. C. Whos budget is totally out of control and is constantly coming back to us for handouts is now fighting with the National Guard to save her from great embarrassment over the last number of nights she doesnt treat these men and women well that will bring a Different Group of men and women in and again so while he was and made before that in the rose garden he announced the Paycheck Protection Program flexibility act of 2020 taking a victory lap after the government actually reported surprising job numbers for last month seizing on the data to predict that the worst of the coronavirus pandemic and its economic disruption was in the Rearview Mirror now will trump the dodds all in any questions when it came to Race Relations or Police Brutality but he did mention George Floyds name to listen. To george is looking down right now and so he was a great thing thats happening for a country theres a great day for him its a great day for everybody is a great day for everybody this is a great great day. In terms of equality. And again with those 3 moment those 3 things with bows are actually you know calling out the National Guard to leave renaming the 16th street as is the black lives matter plaza and these letters sending quite a big statement to donald trump. This afternoon. What about the protesters here do you see whats next for them. So the big plan is tomorrow is actually at noon protesters plan to come back here in front of the white house and theyre going to hold those 8 minutes of silence again for the representing the number of the amount of time that the officer had his knee on george. But again with here today it was a little bit different than how it was monday because again monday it was people marching and chanting you can see behind me its almost like a block party there is but dance breakouts here or you know all over the place of music blasting so a real message of unity and also one of optimism coming here today from these. Protests on the side of back to you certainly more festive mood there on the ground for us thank you. Over in the u. K. A strong showing on the streets of birmingham in solidarity with the new west black lives Matter Movement and the death of george fluent and then over in France Police there have banned a black lives matter demonstration from taking place tomorrow in front of the u. S. Embassy in Paris Police Say the band is due to the high risk of social disorder and Health Dangers from large gatherings because of the pandemic. Despite a number of harsh threats from u. S. Leaders quite doe has yet to take over the government of venezuela and the country is still working with an ally that has also been the subject of harsh sanctions themselves from the u. S. Armys Rachel Blevins is joining us now to discuss the latest on that so rachel where exactly is why i dont know and whats going on with his whole situation whats actually unclear exactly where one is right now in this week president Nicolas Maduro accused him of hiding in a diplomatic location he suggested that it was the french and be seen in caracas however france has now come out and denied all of those allegations altogether and they actually released a statement which came from a spokeswoman for Frances Foreign Ministry and she said mr one by joe is not at the front residence in caracas we have. Peter gleick confirmed this to the venezuelan authorities now france is one of the countries that joined the United States and saying it recognizes as the president of venezuela and theres been an ongoing dispute in the last month paris accused the venezuelan government of harassing its embassy in caracas and even cutting off water and electricity from the ambassadors residence after migiro accused him of meddling in venezuela as affairs now ritual is there evidence that the venezuelan government is actively trying to arrest quite oh well last year the government told that if he left the country he would be arrested and since then hes gone on at least 2 International Tours which include a visit here to washington d. C. We saw earlier this year now there were a lot of questions about what was going to happen when he got back to venezuela however he arrived in the country without incident now why do i sense laid low as the country responds to the coronavirus but the government has not forgotten about him and venezuelas foreign minister called a fugitive from venezuelan justice he then went on to say mr goh idea was indebted to the Justice System and the venezuelan people so the Public Ministry and the judiciary will take the actions it has to to take according to its good judgment but at the same time we have to remember the troubling ministration has threatened the venezuelan government that if it targets were they will receive a very harsh response from washington and when they talk about their response they often use the phrase all options are on the table and hes got quite the bodyguard there the u. S. Has warned venezuela and iran against working with each other whats the latest with that friendship right will iran and venezuela are known as 2 of the countries that are being hit the hardest by u. S. Sanctions right now and washington has even come out and threaten more sanctions and even use of force if they continue to Work Together however that hasnt stopped them working together so far now despite the threats that the u. S. Was considering said. Troops to interfere see iran sent 5 tankers carrying more than 45000000. 00 worth of gasoline and supplies to venezuela and they arrived without incident last weekend now it is expected the partnership between iran and venezuela is going to continue so not just remains to be seen what the u. S. Is going to do is it going to stick to just the harsh rhetoric or is it actually going to use its military to try to intervene apparently all options are on the table Richard Levins thank you so much for that update thank you.
