Iranian scientists jailed in the United States since 2017 is on his way home well have the latest on that and also how mounting medical waste made worse by the pandemic is creating another threat to Peoples Health in bangladesh. So President Donald Trump threatened to deploy the army if state governors dont end the violence during some protests over the death of george floyd 1st he died while in the custody of police in minneapolis a week ago now and as mike hanna reports from Washington Police forcibly cleared Peaceful Protesters near the white house as a truck could visit a church. A peaceful protest outside the white house is dispersed forcibly. Tear gas rubber coated steel bullets and stun grenades are used to force the demonstrators further away. A few minutes later the reason becomes clear in a display of pure political theater the president and former reality star walks out of the white house across pennsylvania avenue and through Lafayette Park which had been surrounded by protesters during the day he arrives at the sin Johns Episcopal Church which had been damaged in overnight and rest holding a bible the president tells reporters we have a great country he did not enter the church to inspect the internal damage but instead beckon to some of those who walked with him to join him in front of the cameras. I imposed a curfew at 7 pm tweeted the districts mayor a full 25 minutes before the curfew and without provocation federal police used munitions on Peaceful Protesters outside the white house an act that will make the job of the d. C. Police Department Offices more difficult shameful the timing and sequence of events points to one possible interpretation that a peaceful protest was disrupted to allow the president of the United States a photo opportunity a short while the president spoke in the rose garden even as in an extraordinary moment the protesters outside with being dispersed and he essentially threatened to invoke martial law if the city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them my this is entering controversial territory in terms of the insurrection act the president can deploy troops domestically but only in a support role and only at the request of state governors or legislatures he really does not have the right to implemented in of 50 states which is what he was saying to me not all 50 states have anything going on and its got the governor still would happen say somewhere that. The District Of Columbia has no governor and the president is legally allowed to unilaterally deploy military forces in the area which he has already done. In unprecedented scenes military police are deployed alongside Law Enforcement officers in the capital of the United States. As a 7 pm curfew passed in the evening the crackdown on protests continued lines of police advancing ominously almost defying the curfew then the arrests began at paris in accordance with the instructions from the white house a few remaining protesters walking past the Lincoln Memorial to remind of a better and possibly kind it time mike hanna washington so want to go back to this insurrection act which mike referred to in his reports just a few points on it was last invoked back in 1902 during the riots in los angeles after the beating of rodney king the Congressional Research service reported in 2006 that a president must 1st issue a proclamation must order quote insurgents to disperse and if that doesnt work he or she may issue an executive order to deploy troops the act also says the president doesnt actually need a states permission to send in the military to quote enforce law or suppress rebellion lets talk to harry lipman about it former United StatesDeputy Assistant attorney general now the host of the talking feds podcast hes on scott from the Jolla California thank you for your time. So the president may not need the states permission but it would be quite a thing for the federal government and the military to move in like that into individual into individual states. It would be quite a thing theres a general cultural sense that it really shouldnt be done except in the most extreme of circumstances but as you say come all its not true that he has to get permission if he wants and he determines in his discretion that the law cant be enforced in a particular place because of the unrest or demonstrations he can on his own call in the army and when i mentioned as well that they would be an executive order to deploy troops now the president trying to use as executive order has a lot for a lot of Different Things and they dont necessarily happen in this case would this be one of those where he can just say no this is happening and they have to do it. Well he certainly can and this my sense is that he will i mean its true there are these formal requirements but theyre pretty straightforward he can he can dodge his eyes and crosses ts fairly easily and i think he wants to show whos boss especially in certain jurisdictions where he thinks the. Local authorities arent being Strong Enough and as i say it only takes him on his acting on his own to do it the interesting that idea you just posed of states not doing enough and current Law Enforcement not doing enough because everything were seeing right now is actually of police using Excessive Force ironically in protests about Police Brutality there is almost a sort of quasi militarization of the police anyway they have the rubber rubber bullets they have the tear gas i mean look at the pictures. I mean its really true and you know imagine adding to those pictures military rolling in intense and its kind of a terrifying tablo and its the reason why its very very rarely invoked the insurrection act theres just a strong cultural prohibition against it theres a special law in fact that says its a crime to do it unless congress has authorized it but thats of course where the insurrection act comes in here Congress Passed that statute after the civil war and it by its terms would authorize it but the overall sort of political and cultural cost i think would be extreme the sense of military rolling in the streets to quell citizens demonstrations as anathema to most americans i mentioned the last time this was invoked was 992 l. A. Riots can you tell you its because its a while ago now and not everyone will be familiar with what happened then what did it look like then the military on the street and how did it how did that play out. Yes the ad that was actually the rodney king case i actually worked on and what happened was after another very Controversial Police beating case the there was a trial and the trial ended in the acquittal of the officers and rioting quickly broke out some of it very savage and then president george w. W. B. Bush today the older bush he asked the los angeles authorities and they welcomed him they said yes please come in we need you but again just as you were saying out front come all to play this sort of supplementary role not to not to be facing off against protesters but to be applying sort of logistical help a little bit of extra muscle and strategy not to really have tanks confronting demonstrators in the streets sorry this is been really interesting talking to you really informative thank you Harry Lippman joining us from the caliphates thanks but. Now a black Business Owner has been shot and killed by police in kentucky in the yards of monday morning david mack as he was shot when officers moved in to Disperse Protesters during a curfew in louisville who they say they were fired at 1st but the chief has now been fired and 2 officers put on administrative leave with folks right now giving voice to not trusting Law Enforcement one of the most important things we can do to build that trust is to make sure that we are fully transparent right now about and if it bears out. That actions were taken wrongly i guarantee you will act and like strongly. We will return to our coverage of the u. S. Police brutality protests a little later there is another developing story just want to look at right now though irans foreign minister saying the iranian scientist imprisoned in the u. S. Is actually now on his way home serious pleaded guilty sorry pleaded for his release i should say after he contract a covert 19 he was accused of stealing state secrets while on an academic visit to the u. S. In 2016 and scott he was acquitted last month but was transferred to immigration custody because his visa had expired spoke to a little bit earlier a senior fellow at the National IranianAmerican Council who says release has raised speculation perhaps of a Prisoner Exchange. Foreign minister zarif immediately posted on his Instagram Page celebrating as a victory but you know its really. For his Family Prosperity and so innocent now a. United state and you know any time an innocent man 3 you know its a win for mike and its a win for everyone but in the case of iran you know they may spin it as some kind of win in their favor of theres a lot of speculation about you know a Prisoner Exchange reports all about it and its speculation we havent seen anything that indicates that that theres actually werent. There are american you know theres like a white were being held in iran that would be an ideal kind of situation where you actually have an exchange that happens and of course the speculation that its sort of the lowest hanging fruit in terms of diplomacy in a situation where you know you want to see relationships are strained between iran and us but its much deeper than there is you know hostilities i dont january at this point seems like forever ago but just a few months ago we were on you know the brink of war so the idea of a Prisoner Exchange is always one of the 1st diplomatic steps taken in a moment more coverage of the events in the United States were looking at how journalists have become a target for the police and some protests zimbabwean finest describing how coronavirus is eating into a vital national. However we got some changes on the way in the weather across year and now we will lose the heat that weve had across western falls little more cloud coming through more rain as well this weather system will sink further south which is because through the next couple days theres a fine and dry weather across much of the nick consonant time across northern parts of france still disturbed mind you over towards the east a fair bit of cloud still very much in place here as you go on through the next couple of days will gradually see showers and long spells of rain sinking further south wales but as we go on through choose day theres still a fair bit of wet weather in the forecast see the showers stretch their way across southern parts of europe to the north of italy so when there is a front saying some shop showers from time to time along with Northern Areas of space just around the pyrenees you can expect see some rather wet weather for a time some wet weather there getting back into most of us warming up were getting up to around 15 degrees cold and out on the other side just up to around 20 celsius in london is that northerly set the same but at least some sparkling sunshine around a fair bit of sunshine to across northern parts of africa further south were seeing some pretty big shall is just around the gulf of guinea right across west africa more heavy showers coming in here over the next couple of days pushing all the way into sierra leone.
