A new executive order after his own twitter content. And confined to their homes the argentinean shantytown hundreds of people have been diagnosed with the corona virus. Hello welcome to the program the anger in minneapolis over the death of a black man in Police Custody is spreading across the United States with National Protests planned for saturday civil rights leader all sharpton said the violence being experienced in the city did not begin with protests but rather when george floyd was choked to death begging for his life the u. S. Department of justice says its investigation into floyd is a top priority the bands for justice for floyd have led to 2 nights of violent protests in minneapolis riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets of thousands of people as multiple fires broke out across the city and shops were looted 46 year old floyd was filmed the gasping for breath securing his arrest while an officer on his leg. He died in hospital shortly after the officer and 3 others have been fired but many including the minneapolis mayor have called for criminal charges. And i got here someone said to me are you going to address the ballots the ballots on the dressin is how a man could hold a man down with the knees on his neck and minutes vast went through violence done on. The private started on this card were dismayed and was joked it cant break in for his life. So we must act in a way to get justice and to get fed. Were not asking for a phrase where as for what is right. Well john hendren joins us live now from chicago and john there have been appeals for calm but clearly they havent managed to quell the anger the people there feel. And to right a lot of people had that video expressed the same that vigil expressed the same sentiment and that is that they didnt know george floyd but they understood how a black man in america could end up face down on a sidewalk in minneapolis under a Police Officers need and some say it could have been any one of them and thats the kind of anger that hes completely roiled this city in minneapolis the embers are still smoldering here on thursday from an overnight brian is really the only word for it after 2 days of peaceful largely peaceful protests some of the demonstrators threw rocks and bottles at police they responded with tear gas and rubber bullets and then chaos happened that stores were looted windows were smashed and set those buildings were set on fire whole blocks were just sent up in flames and thats the reason for the emotional response from so many people in that city today the mayor came out and said this was really the culmination not just. Of 5 minutes of horror of a Police Officer standing on the neck of an american man but of 400 years of the legacy of slavery and those protests are likely to go on theyve happened in los angeles there was one in memphis here on thursday and theyve gone on across the country because events like this just keep happening exactly and john as you mentioned it mean this is a legacy of similar events so this case when the is Building Momentum well beyond minneapolis thats right and what these protesters are calling out for now that theyve received the 1st thing they want which was the firing of the 4 officers involved is murder charges against it least one of those officers and that call has really expanded here across the u. S. Just in frye the mayor of minneapolis said on wednesday that he wanted charges against the officers and on thursday he was asked if the appropriate charge was murder and he said yes i think it is the speaker of the u. S. House of representatives nancy pelosi said that americans witnessed an execution on that video in fact the world did in so that call keeps getting louder but its not any of those officials who would actually prefer the chargers that goes to the District Attorney in that region and it could take weeks it could even take months before that happens and the big question is what will these demonstrators these protesters do meanwhile lou they be satisfied with going toward an answer to that question or will they keep demonstrating until they have an answer john hendren with the latest on those developments from chicago in the u. S. John thank you. The u. K. U. S. Australia and canada have condemned the china for imposing new security laws on hong kong saying its threatens the territories freedoms Chinas Parliament has given the go ahead for the legislation despite protests and International Warnings the wide ranging laws which beijing says will aim to tackle secession subversion and the foreign interference could now be in effect in a matter of weeks ground reports from hong kong. Hong kongs people had no say in the decision to impose a new security law on this city that was not a concern among people we spoke to in the north point district where many mainland immigrants live the night or are of course we will have peace now hong kong has been so chaotic the protesters even went to the United States to ask them to put sanctions on hong kong what a mess they have made they are out there young may have different thoughts before as the elderly the law we make our country prosperous and stable but other elderly people are fearful and scared to come in because you know all freedom for their speech no freedom for. Democracy so ski since 1907 when hong kong was returned from british the chinese rule this city has operated on their unique one country 2 systems formula intended to guarantee the citys legal political and economic arrangements the question now is whether the experiment has failed bid local historian john carroll insists thats not the case no sooner had the sign of british joint declaration been signed in december 1904 people are already talking about the death of hong kong and i mean thats been going on for years and years and years and hong kong is not dead and i dont see hong kong dying so. Chinas leaders insist the new security law d will save hong kong not kill it so the vote by Chinas Parliament on thursday to approve the law was never in doubt you could. She called other the Central Government has always emphasized the comprehensive an accurate implementation of one country 2 Systems Hong Kong ruling hong kong and its high degree of autonomy it strictly follows the constitution and the basic law and supports the Hong Kong Government and its chief executive to govern according to the law bypassing hong kongs legislature the rubber stamp National Peoples congress has now paved the way for mainland security agents to operate here in marked contrast to these orderly scenes there was more disruption in hong kongs parliament. When 3 legislators were ejected during a heated debate about another proposed law that would make it an offense to disrespect chinas National Anthem both measures have prompted demonstrations and a warning from the United States government that its special trading status with the city could be about to end raising concerns about its continued status as asias leading Financial Center adrian brown aljazeera hong kong. Well with china not showing any sign of prodding back before the security laws are implemented there are concerns for the countries the client relationship with the u. S. Attorney who has more now from rome. Several countries have expressed deep concern over this move by china but the u. S. Has been loudest and strongest in its rebuke really the u. S. And china relationship has hit sort of the an all time low one of the lowest point certainly it has been in decades the u. S. Has made several threats to china because of this move its its requested u. N. Security Council Meeting is also for enterovirus hong kongs trading status now officials here say that theyre preparing for beijing should prepare to engage in a financial war financial war and earlier this week chinas foreign minister isa that actually the 2 countries even worse have been brought to the brink of a new cold war certainly we know that after this move. The chinese Central Government is planning its own Counter Measures should the u. S. Follow through on those threats and theyve said that quite bluntly itll take whatever necessary measures that they can to protect the sovereignty and the security. U. S. President donald trump is expect that the sign an executive order targeting social Media Companies it follows twitters labeling of 2 trump tweets as misleading and referred users to a Fact Checking page its the 1st time the such a qualification had been added to a president ial tweet trump it back saying the company was stifling free speech and threatened to shut twitter and other social Media Outlets down facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg has come out saying its not up to that to internet platforms to decipher truth from fiction. But i dont think. Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth i think thats kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of deciding what is what is true and what isnt. And i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy and people should go to see what politicians say and theres a ton of scrutiny already a political speech is the most scrutinized speech already by a lot of the media and i think that will continue when mike hanna is live in washington d. C. For us to explain this a little in a little more detail so do we know what the actual specific aim of this executive order is going to be like. Well theres been no exact confirmation what we do know according to many legal experts is that the president cannot act unilaterally on the sea has to go through federal regulators in order to cause sun sort of change in the way that social media platforms are processed but his press secretary within the last hour has given some indication of what the trumpet ministration is thinking of she was focusing on the decency act the Communications Decency act in particular section 230. 00 which makes very clear that social media organizations have no legal liability the reason for this is that they do not provide the content on the platforms as does traditional media such as newspapers or television or radio she is implying that the president wants to look at this particular portion of the act and change that to make twitter and other social media forms accountable which he thinks they have not been in the past now this cannot be done by the president alone he would need to involve congress and this congress would have to discuss changes to that particular piece of legislation so that is the way it would appear to be going a timeline on that executive order well we dont have any clarity at this particular point though the press secretary did say that she hoped and i stress the word hoped it would be sometimes before 5 thats in about one and a half hours time well be there for the following that story to see if it does happen then for the moment michaela in washington frankel.

S.
