A likely announcement by President Trump against his controversial security law. And help for 2000000. 00 of spains poorest hit hard by the pandemic the government approves a plan for a minimum income. So then the Police Officer at the center of the raging controversy over the death of an black man george floyd in the u. S. City of minneapolis has been taken into custody there have been has been arrested it made it growing outrage following floyds death police have been trying to regain control as protests continue in the city and National Guard has been called in and the mayor has declared a 72 state of emergency or joining us now is us now at a journalist in minneapolis and allison so during the infamous one really in the cell phone video now in custody do you think thats going to help appease the situation on the streets. I can only imagine that it would. Im told that you know this came about because just 30 minutes ago or less than 30 minutes ago the governor had just finished giving a press conference and had told reporters to wait around that they had some additional moves and then efficient. Department of safety commissioner John Harrington came out and and and then gave the announcement that they had that they had arrested him he was actually i guess he had turned himself and the other really notable thing about this is that you know a couple of summers ago during when justin diamond was. When women officer that shot her there was a there was a back and forth between there was a lot of time between. That incident happening and then the arrest so this is pretty remarkable right of course that arguments will be a lot of them is saying that you know one is not enough they want all 4 in custody i havent heard any announcements made yet about whether all 4 are whether the other 3 are going to be taken into custody. Right ok so tell us more about the city in the sense youre getting in the city at the moment because youve been on the streets observing events and how things have been going you know the city well paint the picture for us whats the mood. So i went oh when i was last out and people were cleaning up work and blasts a lot of people were boarding up their windows along eastlake street so you know people are really to militia really angry and people are still really scared i was at the a corner of 29th and lake street just earlier and there was there was heavy minister of state patrol presence a woman was you know confronting them and and yelling at them that you know they were out here protect it you know that she expected the same kind of protection for her son you know her nephew that they were doing 2 businesses on mike street so definitely a sense of anger a sense of just walk in motion right now in the city have you seen anything like this in all the time that youve been. You know i was here a few years ago when germar clark was was shot over on the north side of minneapolis and there was protests over at that precinct but nothing like this and this is definitely a different feeling i think you can you just have you know people have you know you have to remember were in the middle of a pandemic you know where theres been over 100000 deaths related to covered 1000 here in the country people are feeling i think thats just added adds to the sense of. You know urgency and and and fear there and can you give a little bit more context about the depth of anger and just why it is that people are also outraged the truly outraged by whats going on. Well i was talking to an africanamerican a professor of africanamerican history on the street he was key guy he didnt give me his last name he was told he teaches at the university of minnesota and he reminded me that 1967 riots that happened in it or over on the north side im playing at ave so this city has a history of. You know racially charged conflicts which the police and people in the community and then like i just mentioned a few a few minutes ago you know there was the case of John Mark Karr this fall under castillo i think yeah i think that this is for a lot of people i think this is just the Tipping Point isnt something that they feel like something needs needs to be done thats what im hearing from a lot of people on the streets today or out of someone even there for the moment do appreciate your coverage on this this new era there in minneapolis thank you thank you so much. All right well the u. S. President donald trump is being accused of glorifying violence and inflaming racially charged protests across the United States that have been inspired by these events in minneapolis the president is trying to that when the looting starts the shootings dogs rhetorical as more. Riot police in minneapolis ready to confront a community that fails its been betrayed National Guard soldiers have also arrived in the city requested by a man whos under pressure to bring the violence under control this was a Police Station in flames on thursday night as anger directed at those who swear to protect and serve escalated. Not far away more burning shops looting and violence protests have spread across the United States in denver demonstrators echoed the demands for justice already heard in los angeles and new york anger over the treatment of africanamericans by the police is new but it is very wrong right now. In louisville kentucky the death of fluid has reopened old wounds with protesters demanding justice for an africanamerican woman who was shot dead by police 2 months ago. It is this video of the last moments of George Floyds life a Police Officer kneeling on his neck thats driving the outrage floyds family the citys man and National Politicians are calling for the officer to be charged with murder we did see a murder on t. V. And it wasnt selfdefense the f. B. I. Is promising a thorough investigation but it could take weeks for a prosecutor to decide on criminal charges and people here are impatient francis i am pleading i am pleading with individuals. To remain calm and to let us conduct this investigation President Trump called the protesters thugs and suggested National Guard soldiers shoot the lose his heels. They took aim at the citys democratic now donald trump knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis we are strong as hell is this a difficult time period yes but you better be damn sure that were going to get through this. The protests in georgia floyds name only quelling as more people in most cities feel justice in america is far from equal victoria gates and be out there well Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has addressed the states hes treated for calm and his promise that justice will be. I understand clearly there is no trust in many of our communities and the differentiation between the Minneapolis Police department that we witnessed losing trust of those theyre there to serve is very difficult for people to make for those standing up here with me i understand that and i will not patronize you as a white man without living those those lived experiences of how very difficult that is but im asking you to help us help us use humane way to get the streets to a place where we can restore the justice so that those that are expressing rage and anger and demanding justice are heard. Lets look now what President Trump has been tweeting about the protests and 1st warning the minneapolis method to get his act together as he put it and then writing that these thugs dishonoring the memory of george floyd and he wont let that happen a trump says he told the minnesota governor that the military is with him all the way any difficulty and we will assume control but he said when the looting starts the shooting starts and lets go live to our White House Correspondent kelly how kate and kimberly this phrase when the shooting starts when the looting starts the shooting starts its a statement with a particular resonance isnt it. Yeah its really a loaded and incendiary language that dates back more than 50 years to when the miami police chief in 1967 use those same words in reference to what he called a crackdown on slum hoodlum and its attributed to inflaming tensions in that city so the fact that the president has used these very same words a half century later is not being well received in fact the latest coming from president obama as he weighed in on twitter saying that essentially whats happening with regard to the president s tweets to whats happened to george floyd this shouldnt be normal in 2020 america falls on all of us trade a new normal in which the legacy of bigotry and an equal treatment no longer infects our institutions and our hearts as well joe biden who is the democratic presumptive nominee to face off against donald trump in november has also made a statement saying the state of racism has been here a long time we are a country with an open wound incendiary tweets dont help no nic we should point out that were watching the rose garden very carefully here at the white house because the u. S. President is expected to speak this centrally we believe that this is an announcement regarding china and the National Security law that has been adopted there in hong kong but what we expect is that that may be the focus of that but the questions from reporters will certainly be not just about the president s tweets but also his latest reactions on the situation in minneapolis including a tweet where he promised to call in the National Guard and i should point out that the one of the biggest civil rights organizations in the United States the a. C. L. U. Has responded to that saying that they are calling on the National Guard and Law Enforcement to not comply with the law or to comply with the law rather and not listen to donald trump so theres a lot that were watching for in this Upcoming Press conference. On a variety of topics including the latest from the u. S. President regarding the matter in minnesota but right here as in of course the rose garden we keep an eye on that will be there as soon as the president comes out and starts speaking to the press but its can be the time being thanks a lot. A t. V. Recruit reporting on the protests in minneapolis was arrested live on camera take a look at this you know my im under arrest or. Why why am i under arrest so is the c. N. N. Reporter emily human as he was showing demonstrates is being detained on t. V. And he along with the Production Team were schooled to do away by Police Despite offering to move to a different location he has since been released and he spoke to the network about his experience it did cross my mind that what is really happening here and the one thing that gave me a little bit of comfort was that it happened on live t. V. Theres been this you know when you talk within the community about lets just say whats happened with george floyd theres always a discussion that whats happening isnt new its being films and that speaks to the power of having something happen on camera because you can have people speak up for you without you saying anything and that gave me a little bit of comfort knowing that you guys saw what was happening i was living what was happening and the country was seeing what was happening unfold in real time right before their eyes you dont have to doubt my story its not filtered in any sort of way you saw it for your own eyes well its him from courtney raj whos the advocacy director for the committee to protect journalists and she says that journalists should be able to report freely without harassment or arrest. Were deeply shocked c. N. N. Reporter and his crew were arrested live on air and despite clearly identifying themselves as members of the press offering to comply with any police requests to move location and this is not acceptable in a democracy its not acceptable behavior by Law Enforcement and of course were concerned as weve recently reported in our latest report on the trunk administration the media about how this constant vilification and harassment of the process by President Trump and other political leaders vilifies them in creates a permissive environment where violence could become more likely and frankly sends a signal to Law Enforcement that hey you know c. N. N. Is trump has called them the enemy of the people the fact that they were not able to verify that they were media just seems ludicrous and light of the fact that they were Live Streaming it wouldnt take an hour or 2 you know they didnt need to handcuff them it wouldnt take an hour to verify they could have gone on c. N. N. And looked at the live stream and see themselves on television so that just does not ring true and i think that the fact that you heard the governor apologize clearly indicates that no this was not acceptable behavior and this should send a signal more broadly to Law Enforcement that they must protect the rights of journalists report freely and without fear of reprisal or harassment or arrest. Now a Washington Post investigation shows black people in the United States have more than twice as likely to be killed by police as white people chose floyds death is just the latest incident this year in march Brianna Taylor was shot 8 times by police as she lay in bed plainclothes officers entered her kentucky home in the middle of the night without warning this month a sudanese american man yes and mohammed was shot dead in georgia after several encounters with police advocates say he may have been suffering from Mental Health problems also in Georgia Police are accused of delaying the investigation into the killing of joe. Because one of the suspects has links to Law Enforcement when i was paid to waive his jones do even whos the president and chief executive of insight unlimited which is a Consulting Firm focusing on race gender and inclusion and i sort of by asking her about the history of these Police Killings this is a constant correct that we live under in this nation and its very much. Really understand that though we have built. And weve been a part of this nation progress for centuries that weve never been slowly given the free rights of citizenship to be able to navigate this nation using our personal space in the same way that our white our. There is nothing that anyone can tell me that were convinced me that a white man. In the way that this particular hammer happened and now. And certainly if it were. On a basketball that the murderers would still be free and thats where they are. Every time this happens people seem to say ok this is going to be the moment but the real change will come that we cannot take this anymore we cannot accept it and all the leaders say the right things. But it doesnt happen as we as weve already said but you think this time it could be a difference weve been saying there dozens of time or hundreds of times or 4000 times were really early on in black life clearly is he in america and there is not the same level of associated with the murder of black people in america then. Where other in particular was born a man. So so outraged and all people are definitely responding to the rage where we are not by our global rage. The bottom line is. The mission to do whats right moving forward now the President Trump is being accused of using every possible opportunity to move white voters as he faces a reelection this november and its not a Steve Clemons whos the host of aljazeera us weekly show the bottom line he joins us on skype from washington d. C. Steve welcome to the show. So it was interesting observing the president s actions throughout this over the last 3 days what do you make of it all. I think 100000 people have died in america from the coronavirus and the president its an election season and he is remarkably good at a politics of this traction and grievance and while there are a lot of people there are very frustrated with the way is it ministration has approached and handled and really delayed action early on on the coronavirus that you know as much as anything describes his return to a kind of nasty may shift nationalism and appealing to you know the worst side of. Some americans who are racist and who believe that they have been victims of the way of an Inclusive Society in america not those that have benefited from it so thats whats going on right now and he is blaming those those tensions because he thinks it helps him solidify and hold onto a base during this political season because you would think wouldnt you that this is a time when skilled leadership is required to dampen things down rather than the opposite and yet at the height of the troubles last night he tweeted this phrase this loaded phrase when the when the looting starts the shooting starts this is a definitive effort you think to to stir things up and push him toward success in november. Hes applauding violence and hes done similar kinds of gestures theyre more in you endo than then stated out right when we had armed people going into the capitol and in michigan where the governor was and he was basically applauding them in their actions their pursuit of liberty in his mind and i think that it is remarkable i interviewed a member of Congress Today wrote cotta on this and he said even Richard Nixon who was a very controversial leader in the United States really regretted the violence that he helped them reach at kent state right now donald trump doesnt seem to regret the words that he that he offered you know and when you compare what hes done to basically call those people protesting civil rights infringements in in minneapolis hes called them bugs and compare that to his you know near compliments of those people that were raising. You know they were protesting and charlottesville over the removal of confederate statues you know donald trump continues to seemingly align himself with a kind of White Nationalism and its very very disconcerting and i have to say its disconcerting for people who work around him and ive talked to people in the white house just today who off the record will say were very uncomfortable with what some folding and so were at a very complicated time in american politics right now where the United States president is egging on violence in our own country and calling for violence against other american citizens we havent been here before it may appease his base but its more generally when it goes on the support that he needs. I think right now. We dont know you know you have a lot of factors in this election we dont know how coronavirus is going to affect peoples ability to vote whether mail in ballots will be permitted whether people will have to overcome their concerns about their health and stand in line there are a lot of issues like that that are percolating right now what we do know is that under traditional circumstances a president like donald trump at this point in his presidency would not be doing what hes doing with his base he would be chasing independent voters and he would be trying to show moments of magnanimity his ability to work across the aisle of his ability to get things done in the country but what hes doing is putting himself back in the position of looking like a big dumb even though hes been president for 3 and a half years and that that victim status is something he thinks bonds himself to voters who feel demeaned and left behind in American Society who are part of his support base when he won in 2016 state great coach appreciate thanks very much Steve Clemons thank you thank you.

Well sudan has always been saying that it wants to make sure that it maintains Good Relationship good diplomatic relationships between ethiopia and itself and now over the past few weeks weve seen sudan and ethiopia holding several talks some of them in person here in khartoum or in ethiopia others via videoconference because of the virus pandemic but theyve always been stressing on the fact that their diplomatic relationship should stay on good terms and that they should be able to work out their issues diplomatically and cordially unfortunately over the past few days what happened on the ground on the state in the state of qatar of which borders sudan and ethiopia does not seem to show that there is what is happening whats taking place between the 2 leaders or between top officials between the 2 countries is actually being relayed to those on the ground and sudan is saying that if the fighting continues and if the militias to come back to attack back by the army then they will fight back and this may turn into further violence between the 2 sides president Vladimir Putin has ordered russias defense and foreign ministries to hold talks with damascus in order to obtain additional facilities and maritime access in syria russia already has 2 permanent facilities in syria and air base in turkey a province with news for airstrikes against forces opposing president Bashar Al Assad and a naval facility told to stay on the mediterranean or russia is the Syrian Governments main ally lets take a closer look at russias involvement in the war moscow backs the syrian president while washington says it supports moderate rebels who want to remove Bashar Al Assad russia 1st intervened in 2015 when it began its campaign against those who called terrorists from its naval facilities in talk to us and humane.

Its great to Joshua Landis is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma and joins us on skype from norman in oklahoma to lend its welcome to the program so whats happening here the russians wanting payback for its support of syria i did it russia wants more land made available to it it just a few days ago it appointed a special envoy for putin named to sebastian are there mr f. Him off as a special envoy so clearly president putin is trying to is trying to get better returns for all of the money and effort spent in syria and why is it important to russia to have these facilities in syria but i think that there has been no back and forth especially with the all the calm under talks weve seen with ram up loot the cousin of the president who has had his industry stripped from him the russians have been putting pressure on the syrians to to deliver economic goods and to begin to invest in the economy and to try to make some reforms and this is a way to i think gain leverage in syria for greater things the more things the russians want and from assads point of view does he he has no choice in this matter presumably he has to accept whatever they want. But he does he does because the russians have tremendous leverage if assad wants it profits back it wants the north where the kurds live in america its our position back about a 3rd of syria is still occupied by rebel forces he needs the russians to do it because theyre the only ones who can pressure turkey and begin to get this land back for syria so he has a captive right now to russian interests and taking control of these outposts within syria as far as russia is concerned is important for russia itself but what about those in the United States lookin at this what will be their thoughts about well you know they dont they theyre trying to see less foreign influence in syria particularly iranian influence and america is trying to increase its bases its holding serious oil as a captive its helping the kurds its also helping the rebels and it libya and and increasing the food supply so both sides are trying to get more syrian territory more leverage to gain influence in the region and keep their bases so they can pressure turkey they can pressure iraq they can pressure us side they just have power in the region and thats thats what its all about is fears of influence and leverage and they do or i dont know any of that thanks very much indeed Joshua Landis speaking to us there from oklahoma pleasure massive swarms of Desert Locusts the damaging crops and orchards in pakistan posing a threat to Food Security millions of the locus which experts say originated in africa have been ravaging crops since last month feel to being sprayed with pesticides this week is the situation dont worse meanwhile in india around 35000 head of farmland of wolves have been infested in heartland states and the agriculture minister Ministry Says it stepped up efforts to spray pesticide in several affected districts.

A simple sandwich some fruit and water is enough to get thousands of spaniards through today in spain food banks soup kitchens and charities have been overwhelmed and some even forced to close during the coronaVirus Outbreak but demand in these places has increased 30 percent since the emergency lockdown in march thousands of spaniards have joined the socalled queues of hunger for the 1st time. So son i want is a hospital cleaner in april she found herself out of work she spent all her savings and at the age of 44. 00 she had to appeal to charity for the 1st time in her life. I feel really bad depending on others i always depended on myself at the beginning when they offered me food i said no but then i realized if i have food i can share it and we can all eat this is a corner Virus Outbreak over 1000000 people have lost their jobs in spain the loss of employment has been compounded by a School Closures and increasing bills after more than 2 months of a Strict Lockdown the Spanish Government plans to spend 3000000000. 00 euros a year to provide the poorest households with a minimum income over 850000. 00 families will benefit from it single parent families will get the quiver end of 500 dollars and families with 2 of those 650. 00.

Welfare systems are and this new minimum living income that that spain is introducing is among imo it is an improvement but it still has this problem that it is means tested and judgment and were looking your particular circumstances in giving you something tailored to your your system and when ever you introduce targeting like that you introduce slowdowns in the United States there are millions of people hanging on the phone trying to get Unemployment Insurance to prove that theyre taught that they meet the target in requirements basic income is not targeted it is always there everyone can count on it and and that makes the difference for the most needy the most needy have the most difficulty proving that theyre eligible say your say your married to a man who like makes a lot of money but he starts to abuse your children and you flee to a homeless shelter and you call you would then have to call the authorities wait on hold until you get to the right person you tell them i have no money and this is it says right here you have lots and lots of money you were married to this wealthy man and you have to explain that you just left him and they asked you to prove that basic income doesnt ask people to prove things like red arrow is to cut 15000 jobs worldwide with more than 4000. 00 of them in france the french government owns 15 percent of the comic aaron is is in talks to provide it with a 5500000000. 00 loan.

What will things be like when its all over for rich places maybe not so bad but poor communities have a right to be worried the post industrial landscape of teesside in northeastern england tells a story of joblessness poor life chances and the virus the high mortality rates if the British Government tries to pay off its huge debt shore stero see that they cant begin to imagine how much worse things will get its almost too difficult to comprehend how we would go about doing that because were i think were as low as we can get in terms of the the cuts that weve made our frac on even start to think about how we would make more code. 1st hand experiences of all this show a town already on the age we need to live is vital supplies to 17 people with Underlying Health conditions and therefore most at risk in this tiny house of for Asylum Seekers including an elderly woman from sierra leone who has diabetes given the things binny has seen any more cuts to services would be catastrophic but there was a case right here in central middles for someone who did not eat for 17 days 17 for 17 days so she has been going over food banks here so the food banks were closed and even though she is fully entitled as a citizen but she was looking you know overlooked and she was almost going to die disease thrives in poverty the economic response to the Health Care Crisis will make or break places like this just before all this started the new British Government swept to power on a promise of what it called levelling up plowing money into the forgotten english northern towns but not only has covered 19. 00 put all of that on ice its also led to a new enormous National Debt a debt which towns like middlesborough are in no position whatsoever to help a back story here could be that of any port town in any country which has taken on massive debt nationally or globally that that will happen we will lose generations we will lose businesses people will lose hope hope the health and social implications will be colossal that it isnt an option borrowing at these new affordable rates prudently and spending intelligently is the only solution to this. So many of the problems hit pretaped hit the virus but maybe the Health Care Crisis could have a Silver Lining all through all better jobs stronger communities surely mean healthier people largely aljazeera middlesborough. The reopening of hundreds of south korean schools has been suspended in some of those forced to close off to a spike in coronavirus case and 58 new infections have been announced most of them from seoul and linked to an Online Shopping warehouse. There is Robert Bright is in seoul with this update. This is an outbreak thats causing a major disruption to the reopening of schools schools here in south korea as elsewhere have been closed for months and after a lot of very careful planning to make sure its done safely then very carefully we are in the middle of a staged reopening of schools its a reopening thats already been delayed by a couple of weeks because of another cluster or another outbreak and were now likely to see further disruption we want in the middle of this process so some schools that had to reopen several 100 of them. Just jumping in there to go to the rose garden the white house as you can see the u. S. President donald trump is that the podium addressing the press conference and then for decades theyve ripped off the United States like no one has ever done before hundreds of billions of dollars a year well last dealing with china especially over the years during the Prior Administration china raided our factories off shored our jobs gutted our industries stole our intellectual property and violated their commitments under the World Trade Organization to make matters worse they are considered a developing nation getting all sorts of benefits that others including the United States are not entitled to. But i have never soley blame china for this they were able to get away with a theft like no one was able to get away with before because of past politicians and frankly past president s but unlike those who came before my administration negotiated and fought for what was right its called fair and reciprocal treatment china has also unlawfully claim territory in the Pacific Ocean threatening freedom of navigation and International Trade and they broke their word to the world on ensuring the autonomy of hong kong the United States wants an open and constructive relationship with china but it cheating that relationship requires us to vigorously defend our National Interests the Chinese Government has continually violated its promises to us and so many other nations these plain facts cannot be overlooked or swept aside the world is now suffering as a result of the malfeasance of the Chinese Government chinas cover up of the virus allowed the disease to spread all over the world instigating a Global Pandemic that has cost more than 100000 american lives and over a 1000000 lives worldwide. Chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the World Health Organization and pressured the World Health Organization to mislead the world when the virus was 1st discovered by chinese authorities countless lives have been taken and profound Economic Hardship has been inflicted all around that low they strongly recommended against me doing the early ban from china but i did it anyway was proven to be 100 percent correct china has total control over the World Health Organization despite only paying 40000000. 00 per year compared to what the United States has been paying which is approximately 450000000. 00 a year we have detailed the reforms that it must make and engage with them directly but they have refused to act because they have failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent Global Public health needs. The world needs answers from china on the virus we must have transparency why is it that china shut off infected people from move on to all other parts of china it went nowhere else it didnt go to beijing it went nowhere else but they allowed them to freely travel throughout the world including europe and the United States the death and destruction caused by this is incalculable we must have answers not only for us but for the rest of the world this pandemic has underscored the crucial importance of building up americas economic independence we sure are in our critical supply chains and protecting americas scientific and technological advances for years the government of china has conducted illicit espionage to steal our industrial secrets of which there are many today i will issue a proclamation to better secure our nations Vital University research and to suspend the entry of certain foreign nationals from china who we have identified as potential security risks i am also taken action to protect the integrity of americas Financial System by far the best in the world i am instructing my president ial working group on Financial Markets to study the differing practices of Chinese Companies listed on the u. S. Financial markets. With the goal of protecting american investors investment firms should not be subjecting their clients to the hidden and undue risks associated with financing Chinese Companies that do not play by the same rules americans are entitled to fairness and transparency several of the most significant actions were taking pertained to deeply troubling situations unfolding in hong kong this week china unilaterally impose control over Hong Kong Security this was a plain violation of beijings treaty obligations with the United Kingdom in the declaration of 1984 and explicit provisions of hong kongs basic law it has 27 years to go the Chinese Governments move against iran coming is the latest in a series of measures that are diminishing the citys longstanding and very proud status this is a tragedy for the people of hong kong the people of china and indeed the people of the world china it claims it is protecting National Security but the truth is that hong kong was secure and prosperous as a free society beijings decision reverses all of that it extends the reach of chinas invasive state Security Apparatus into what was formerly a bastion of liberty chinas latest incursion along with other recent developments that degraded the territorys freedoms makes clear that hong kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous to warrant the special treatment that we have afforded the territory since the handover. China has replaced its promise formula of one country 2 systems with one country one system therefore i am directing my administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give hong kong different and special treatment my announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with hong kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions we will be revising the state departments travel advisory for hong kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the Chinese StateSecurity Apparatus we will take action to revoke khan khans preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory from the rest of china the United States will also take this is serious steps to sanction p. R. C. And hong kong officials directly or indirectly involved in eroding hong kongs entente to me and so and just if you take a look smothering absolutely smothering hong kongs freedom our actions will be strong our actions will be meaningful more than 2 decades ago on a rainy night in 1997 british soldiers lowered the union flag and chinese soldiers raise the chinese flag in hong kong the people of hong kong felt simultaneously proud of their chinese heritage and their unique hong kong identity. The people of hong kong hoped that in the years and decades to come china would increasingly come to resemble its most radiant and dynamic city the rest of the world was electrified by a sense of optimism that hong kong was a glimpse into chinas future not that han khan would grow into a reflection of chinas past in every decision i will continue to proudly defend and protect the workers families and citizens of the United States of america thank you very much thank you. What. Youre watching aljazeera that was the u. S. President donald trump speaking at the white house rose garden and he was speaking particularly about china interesting the though he did not take any questions from reporters who as you can see right there were a standing by to ask him any questions not least about what he said about hong kong and china but also the protests taking place right now in minnesota so lets just walk through some of what he said now he said that. China has actions on hong kong are play in violation of treaty obligations had he also did say that hes instructing his working group to study the different differing practices off the Chinese Companies that are listed on u. S. Stock markets and he also said that he will be issuing a proclamation to secure u. S. University research and he also made a statement on the World Health Organization and he did say that he has terminating the u. S. Will be terminating its relationship with the World Health Organization and also on the issue of hong kong President Trump said that he will take steps to sanction hong kong officials who are involved in eroding hong kongs autonomy once again he ended the events on china without taking any questions from the reporters that were standing by we can now cross over through White House Correspondent kelly how did she is joining us from just outside the white house so you can really just talk us through more of what the president had to say. It sounds like you did a pretty good but i didnt fully hear it because we were transitioning something in my ear but let me tell you what i think are the highlights here and give it a little bit of context you talked about essentially the United States pulling out of the World Health Organization that is a big headline of course the United States has looked for someone to blame
