Destroying crops and livelihoods swarms of locusts in India Pakistan cause billions of dollars in damage. We begin to the u. S. State of minnesota where the death of a black man in Police Custody has sparked anger not only the but across the country for the 1st time in its history minnesotas governor has announced that hes fully mobilizing the National Guard. Im authorizing and talking to General Johnson to fully mobilize the Minnesota National guard an action that has never been taken in 164 year history of the Minnesota National guard we will pull in assets as we have been doing and for those minnesotans who are wondering where are the fire trucks where are the police that are out there the situation was so broad and the tactics were so bent on causing destruction that every Single Person we had mobilized again the largest in state history last evening was engaged in that the Police Officer at the center of this has been charged with George Floyds but up but its done little to calm the situation as john hendren reports. A curfew in a murder charge against a Police Officer failed to bring calm to minneapolis. The citys new curfew beginning 8 pm some protesters responded by setting buildings on fire hundreds of others continued to peacefully protest the death of a black man george floyd after his arrest by a white policeman. Officer gary children who was fired shortly after floyds arrest on monday has now been charged with his murder but its made little difference on the citys turbulent south sun. Demonstrators defied the curfew and a large deployment of the National Guard some took out their anger on businesses such as the Department Store and occasionally journalists. Others lined up to challenge police who answered with tear gas that failed to control the unrest these National Guard troops have been blocking roads and theyve been protecting firefighters of ive been putting out the many fires you can see one of them back there but the governor says theyre hungry and been enough of them and thats why hes sending in more. A 1000 more to join the 500 already in minneapolis in nearby st paul this is the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota History that we have out there today and quite candidly right now we do not have the numbers we cannot arrest people when were trying to hold ground because of the sheer size the dynamics and the want the violence thats coming out there but as you see theres already shots being fired back at our people. These arson that is taking place puts many people at risk are firefighters are specifically and very open target from coast to coast protests and violence have spread to more u. S. Cities in washington the white house was briefly on lockdown as crowds front with police in the capital. And in Atlanta Georgia this c. N. N. News channels headquarters came under attack police cars were also targeted prompting a furious response from atlanta as mayor you are disgracing our city you are disgracing the life of george lloyd in every other person who has been killed in this country crowds in los angeles chanted i cant breathe some of George Floyds final words as his neck was pinned to the ground. And back in minneapolis his excessive days in 1000 ivanka go on John Hendren Al jazeera minneapolis we have 2 correspondents on the story this hour in a moment well speak with a committee how good is at the white house but 1st lets go senator natasha can name whos in chicago some minnesota officials that sasha being criticized for paul response what are they expecting today and what preparations but other states are being made around the country. Adrian the governor of minnesota and the mayor of minneapolis are hoping that today will be a turning point after what they described as absolute chaos on friday evening the governor says the last 72 hours these people have brought more destruction and more terror to minnesota than anybody in our history officials are blaming the destruction and the looting weve seen on the streets after dark in minneapolis the last few nights on outsiders they say that only 20 percent in their minds are locals that the rest are coming from outside of minneapolis coming from even elsewhere in the region to create havoc and theyre saying that these people on the streets are not calling them protesters have this is no longer about george floyd in fact theyre saying that it the protests have devolved they began peaceful at the beginning of the week and have now deteriorated to again a situation where police have been outnumbered by the number of protesters the Law Enforcement there has not been able to stop the burning of businesses and that is why the entire National Guard of minnesota is being deployed this is the 1st time that has happened in the history of minnesota its 164 year history there is another protest expected this afternoon the governor will be present as will civil rights leaders its expected to be quite a large gathering but come 8 pm when a curfew goes into effect for a 3rd night officials are warning that if you are on the street you are quote helping and abating there was a real hope that when former minneapolis Police Officer dare show that was arrested on friday that that would tamp down the rage it has been building not only in minneapolis but across the country as weve seen protests in almost. Out of american states but that did not happen children was charged with 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter the hope was that he would be charged with 1st degree murder at least that is what his family had hoped we now know a little bit about the circumstances were hurting his death according to a politically autopsy report floyd did not die of a 60 a sin stick the ace in or suffocation remember for almost 9 minutes former officer cho then had kneeled on his neck while he was face down on the ground and handcuffed but apparently according to this autopsy report foys had 2 kinds of Heart Disease was possibly intoxicated witnesses say that he appeared to be drunk but the prosecutor is saying that its that confluence of events in addition to the way that police restrained floyd that appear to have contributed to his death the floyd family is saying that although they welcome the arrest of former officer children they are saying its long overdue and that the 3 other officers who were present on the moral day evening also need to be arrested on a serious note session get a life in chicago special many thanks indeed President Donald Trump has warned that protesters will be confronted by quote ohman us weapons in a series of tweets trump says the demonstrators of the white house on friday a big crowd professionally organized but nobody came close to breaching the fence if they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs and most almost weapons ive ever seen thats when people would have been really badly hurt at least Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action lets go live now to the white house our correspondent kimberly hell could is the whos the president talking to here is he goading protesters. Well in a subsequent tweet the u. S. President seemed to be at least is showing a rally rallying cry he in one of his tweets said tonight i understand this magen night at the white house that stands for make America Great again this is a 2016 Campaign Slogan essentially it appears the u. S. President is calling his supporters to the white house for a counter protest saturday evening so in the evening from now the u. S. President has also reacted to the violence more broadly in just the last few moments issuing another tweet saying that its empty for the radical left dont lay the blame on others speaking about the fact that many of these protests seem to have spiraled beyond some of these civil rights causes to as weve heard from a number of public officials. Bent on destruction at least that is the assumption of the u. S. President now we should point out in all of this the u. S. President has had the opportunity to use his words to restore calm but weve not seen that so far in fact when the u. S. President spoke in the rose garden on friday evening he didnt take any questions from reporters and that seemed to outrage many and perhaps contribute to what we saw on friday evening in the United States so now a jury were watching very carefully to see what the u. S. President has to say theres another opportunity for him to speak to the media and to the broader American Public he set to depart for florida for a nother launch attempt at that space x. Launch that was canceled earlier in the week the u. S. President again set to leave in the next few moments i can hear the helicopters on the south lawn theyve just landed so its just a matter of time before the u. S. President walks out well watch carefully to see if hell use this very critical moment to try and bring the country together or if you will use this opportunity potentially to divide americans. White house correspondent Kelly Holcomb live in Washington Committee many thanks indeed coming given mohamad is a professor of history and race and public paul policy at Harvard Kennedy school he says what were witnessing is systematic racism the black lives Matter Movement and broader Racial Justice movements that had been unfolding since about 2012 and picked up another notch moved into another year in 2014 after the deaths of Michael Brown and ferguson the zuri and eric garner in Staten Island new york is Unfinished Business that work was was never result and in fact we had an attorney general Jeff Sessions Donald Trumps 1st u. S. Attorney general came into office he canceled a couple of consent decrees that have been worked out to try to fix Police Agencies in the United States of america and sent a powerful signal that whatever it happened before was no longer going to happen under Donald Trumps watch and so now were seeing the continued challenge of Structural Racism in american policing and people have run out of options when it comes to how to weigh their voices how to communicate the one thing that i think is really important in this moment is to remember when George Clooney was dying on the street with a show opens in his neck everyone who stood there in that same Community Asked politely there was no violence there were no no molotov cocktails they spoke to those close officers very clearly and say its stop what youre doing youre killing him and so we have to really think about what does it mean to try to do something the right way the lawful way the respectable way and it doesnt work.

Own things other Police Officers had equally pointed words its time that we take these bad also as a speak out against and Start Holding them accountable and hold them to the same laws that we expect systems to abide by and i hope justice prevails and i hope those people are found to be guilty of murder because thats what i was. Second i want to say and weve got to change this weve got to break these barriers in these walls and weve got to do what we can as Police Officers the Bigger Picture is how the killing of freud is going to complicate police work throughout america already many black communities are distrustful of Law Enforcement this is only going to make it worse when you see. What should be a routine apprehension become a.
