And will also look at how mounting medical waste in bangladesh made worse by the pandemic is creating another threat to peoples health. President donald trump is threatening to deploy the army if state governors dont end the violence during some protests over the death of george floyd died in Police Custody in minneapolis a week ago now in washington d. C. Police forcibly cleared Peaceful Protesters near the white house so that donald trump have a photo opportunity to church mike hanna has the full story. 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 wrist 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 our 50 states which is what he was saying to me not all 50 states had anything going on and its got the governor still would apple 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. Has a 7 pm curfew passed in the evening the crackdown on protests continued lines of police said dancing ominously almost defying the curfew then the arrests began at parity 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 Well i want to look at the insurrection act mike mentioned that in his report just a little more detail on the last invoked in 992. 00 during the riots in los angeles after rodney king was beaten the Congressional Research service reported in 2006 that a president must 1st issue a proclamation he or she must order court insurgents to disperse and if that doesnt work then they may issue the executive order to deploy troops but the act also says the president doesnt need a states permission to send in the military to quote enforce law or suppress rebellion now were got some clarification on this with Harry Lippman whos a former u. S. Deputy assistant attorney general now hosts a podcast called talking feds he says theres nearly no legal barriers standing in president s try in President Trumps way if he decides he wants to deploy the military. 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 its true there are these formal requirements but theyre pretty straightforward he can he can got 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 and you imagine military rolling in and tanks and its kind of a terrifying tablo and thats 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 that the sense of military rolling in the streets to quell citizens demonstrations as anathema to most americans a black Business Owner has been shot and killed by police in kentucky in the gals of monday morning david mcafee was shot when officers moved in to dispose protesters during a curfew Louisville Police 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 well act strongly. Well protests in new york city with some violence there is now some shop windows smashed looted police did move in to make arrests theres a curfew imposed 11 pm and then an even stricter 8 pm go home order that goes into place on tuesday everybody is on that with more now on the protests in brooklyn new york. This is the scene after night has fallen here in brooklyn were outside of the Barclays Center which is a basketball arena and this has been a flashpoint for some of the protest over the last few nights here in new york right now this is a very peaceful protest by candlelight vigil and mostly young people that are home gathered here right before the curfew is about to go into place and they are supporting each other theyre calling for justice theyre holding up signs listening to somebody speak and this is a very peaceful thank you and how wonderful the message that theyre trying to send a message that they want justice that were doing this because not only are we not christ physically we are oppressed and we are pressing the people but these offices are prized their minds are poisoned to believe that they have heard us but i see a. System oppressed as all of us black white brown and everything in between we are here to free the minds of everyone so that they understand and liberated enough to take a spin for themselves so that we can all live a life thats free. There have certainly been images of rioting and looting in new york city but its also important to see the vast majority of the protests have been exactly like this peaceful young people mostly coming together to protest for their rights and a protest for justice and and really youre getting a sense of a sense of outrage and many telling us that they will stay on the streets as long as it takes. We spoken to protesters in other cities as well here is some of what they told us. I cannot just sit in my room continue my studies continue to work as if nothing is wrong this is something that is affecting every single black person in the United States and it is the duty of non black allies like myself to come out here to put our bodies out to show that this is not acceptable it never was and so were here today to really demand that there are investigations into the murders of george floyd but also that Police Brutality is addressed specifically here in los angeles. People need to come out here and like give positive energy give off positive positive positive a push in the right direction against like how do i say this again. Against the fact that everyone matters everybody has a place in this world. As you can see the energy is here. I want i want a president trying to make better decisions for everybody on his word on this planet matters everybody on this planet has a place everybody has everybody has power and we need to unite all solidarity marches and protests have been happening in cities around the world as well. I. This is Perth Western australia hundreds people carried banners and chanted in support of the black lives Matter Movement organizers also hard to discrimination and injustices suffered by Indigenous People the names of indigenous australians who died in Police Custody were also read to the crowd all of this is happening and the current virus pandemic lets not forget in an Election Year in the u. S. Donald trump will be taking on former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden almost certainly but still the primary election process goes on 4 states will vote for their proposed candidate on tuesday and kristen salumi is looking at the situation in one of the most important states and sylvania. Joe dambrosio has been cutting hair and bethlehem pennsylvania for 47 years barber shops are closed now due to the coronavirus pandemic and joe thinks thats prudent given his age hes got enough savings to ride it out a bit longer course of one week i lost my best and oldest friends you see so its real real to me hes seen a lot of change in bethlehem over the last 4 years the local steel plant that once employed 35000. 00 people is still mostly empty but many of its former Union Workers lean republican instead of democrat they lined the streets to greet President Trump recently when he visited a local manufacturing plant a rare trip out of the Nations Capital when much of the country was still on lockdown pennsylvania is one of 4 states that President Trump won by less than a percent in 2016 older Blue Collar Workers like the ones that used to work here in the Steel Industry were crucial to his victory and they could make a difference again in 2020 National Polls show that among Senior Citizens like these former steelworkers joe biden is more popular than trump i hear more and more people in the trustworthy that are just not trustworthy the state has one of the oldest populations in the country but polls have been wrong here before widebodies that are republicans. They all told me to same thing or not vote for him again. Well you know thats a very heartening but. We all thought that hillary was a hue and a lot of time around the president hasnt seen the country rally behind him as usually happens during a time of crisis or attack but his base remains committed we saw it during us a visit to the lead high value recently with crowds out on the highways welcoming him he has a core and that corps gone nowhere over the last few years the question is has he built on that at all is there milder roget in among groups like seniors joe voted for him in 2016 and plans to again well i think hes the strongest guy you know side a deal and he knows he built the economy he not afraid of china leaving the state closely divided between those who think the president is best suited to lead an economic recovery and those who blame his handling of the crisis for it in the 1st place kristen salumi al jazeera bethlehem pennsylvania.

In perth with a high of 23. On the streets of greece anti immigrant violence is on the rise there or you have to go from other country and this and that group this is all from plus ism and increasingly migrant farm workers of victims a vicious beating its. A slam is helping the Pakistani Community to find a voice the stories we dont often hear told by the people who live them undocumented and under attack this is iraq on aljazeera. Route to. There are these are the top stories President Donald Trump is threatening to deploy the army of state governors dont end the violence during some protests over the death of george floyd trump says it is his duty to uphold the law and order protests continued for a 7th day and nights in u. S. Cities place forcibly clearing peaceful crowds near the white house so the president could walk to a church and police been called in to break up a protest in louisville kentucky black Business Owner was shot and killed by police there in the early hours of monday morning. Well as protests continue across the u. S. An autopsy commission for George Floyds family has found he died of asphyxiation from neck and back compression describing the manner of death as homicide and early autopsy called the death a homicide caused by neck compression but added floyd was intoxicated and pointed to Heart Disease people have been holding more vigils at the site where george floyd died while pinned to the ground by police in minneapolis thats where were heading now at quarter past 4 in the morning jay gray from n. B. C. News hi jay we have seen a lot of pictures from all over the country extraordinary pictures out of washington d. C. I wonder what its like in minneapolis now a week after the events that happen there. Come on an easy tension here like in so many cities across the country right now but not the violence that we initially saw following George Floyds death in fact i want you to take a look right now this is one of the reasons why you can see were at a Police Precinct one in Downtown Minneapolis it looks more like a military base in lock down like so much of this city and theres been a real show of force on the streets here over the last couple of nights and that seems to have really alleviated some of the violence some of the looting definitely the fires that were so much a part of the early marches here the evening marches right after floyds death look its a real mixed bag weve seen in some Cities PoliceOfficers National guard soldiers kneeling and praying with some of the protesters and then just hours later deploying tear gas to try and control riotous crowds and this is now entering the 8th day since floyd died and every day and night weve seen protests theres no reason come all to think at this point thats going to change right now ok but. You seem to be describing a situation where the military presence the National Guard it has from their perspective and probably from the president s perspective its worked its calmed things down because this is i guess the fear in other parts of the country that the militarys going to come out and actually could potentially inflame the situation further. Right and i want to be very clear thats specific to this city and how its being carried out because the National Guard here has been more of a support unit that they have had checkpoints and really just filled in to support Police Sheriffs deputies and the like they havent been the aggressors here and the real concern after some of the president s comments yesterday is that he wants to go on the offensive with the military and of course thats been pushed back overwhelmingly by so many governors across the country who say they wont have the u. S. Military coming in to their cities and to their states and taking over the mission they will continue to try and find peace the way they are right now. I mentioned before we came to you that there had been this autopsy commission for the family and it decided or ruled that this was a homicide a fixation for neck and back right impression. Here bearing in mind of course nothing brings him back in the tragedy to the code but that is i guess that the backup that the family will be wanting there in the community in minneapolis will be wanting and saying look here is the proof this happened. Absolutely and its been a Common Thread even before the results of a private autopsy were released people really demanding that the other officers involved in floyds death be arrested immediately that hasnt happened to this point that autopsy again a private autopsy commissioned by the attorneys for the family showing that at least 2 other officers pinning down floyd during the confrontation stopped blood flow to his heart and ultimately to his brain and really were a part of this in fact one of the attorneys saying that the ambulance that ultimately came to try and help floyd was merely a hearse that the damage had already been done and they are saying in no Uncertain Terms that those other 2 officers are murderers that they are implicated in floyds death early hours in minneapolis thats great thank you good to talk to you. Now to other news and irans foreign minister says the iranian scientist imprisoned in the United States is on his way home. A scottie who pleaded for his release after he contract 19 is accused of stealing state secrets while on an academic visit to the u. S. And 2016 askari was acquitted last month but was transferred to immigration custody because his visa had expired at some thoughts from. The senior fellow at the National IranianAmerican Council she told us ask us releases speculation of a Prisoner Exchange. Foreign minister zarif immediately posted on his Instagram Page celebrating as a victory but you know its mainly. For his family of prosperity and self as an innocent man of the wrong its been you know its there 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 when it there are theres a lot of speculation about the idea of a Prisoner Exchange for all that it is speculation we havent seen anything that indicates that that theres actually. There are american you know action alls sort of 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 comes from the fact that its sort of the lowest hanging fruit in terms of diplomacy in a situation where you know if you want to say relationships are strained between iran and us that its not 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 that can they can. Drive as in venezuela or are facing a hike in petrol prices off to the government scrap the decades old subsidy system. Phil is actually now being imported from iran despite from his way to having the Worlds Largest oil reserves are latin America Addison is in human experience. In venezuela the story of raising petrol prices has been akin to the fable of the little boy who cried wolf and just like the little boy in the story that government had been vowing to raise prices at the pump for so long that many couldnt believe it when this week it actually happened. Half a dollar per liter only had 3. 00 which was 6 liters of petrol according to the new rate but its still bad and very poorly organized because were in a super oil rich country. For most bin is whalens its a shock petrol has always been cheap but in the last few years it became virtually free with hyperinflation running at nearly 2000000 percent there were no bills or coins small enough to pay for a full tank now they have to pay at International Prices just slightly less than in the United States. We should have a minimum salary like people in the us like in colombia the minimum wage in columbias fast superior to ours which is 4. 00 you can charge a National Prices but such a low income but while raising fuel prices after more than 2 decades is a sensitive issue continuing to give it away was unsustainable within your collapse of vitrified the opec member had been suffering acute petrol shortages now thanks to shipments from iran petrol is flowing again. There is the 1st time ive come to fill up and i really didnt have to wait in line as long as im used to doing here i just put in 4 liters 2 dollars and it was actually fast. Though still long the lines are very different from the time when people used to have to line up for 3 days to fill up. Many are paying in dollars because cash in believe that its the local currency is a scarce as petrol used to be and the debit card machines dont often work. Public transport will continue to be completely subsidized by the government despite threats from the United States iran says it will continue sending venezuelan supplies if it requests it. And venezuelans will have to pay for it at a premium something thats never happened before and yet comes at a time when people have never had so little to see in human aljazeera.
