The protesters are once again out in the Nations Capital gathering in the percentage of the white house and now familiar scenes but in the course of days of demonstration there have been unprecedented sights military Police Deployed alongside Law Enforcement units at the president s instruction military and National Guard helicopters flying low over crowds using the down drop from rotors to cause people to scatter a tactic often used in iraq or other zones of foreign u. S. Military deployment the president has contemplated invoking the insurrection act as seldom used nor introduced in the early 1900 sentry that subject to certain conditions could allow the domestic deployment of the military in the event of civil unrest or insurrection this strongly opposed by the secretary of defense the option to use active duty forces in a Law Enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations we are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the insurrection act president Spokes Person brushed aside the secretarys comments president has the Sole Authority to invoke answer action act it is definitely a tool within his power this president has one singular and that is protecting americas streets we cannot have burning churches we cannot have Police Officers who are shot we cannot have businesses that are looted and destroyed the insurrection act is a tool available the president has the Sole Authority i mean if needed he will use it earlier sources at the pentagon announced that armed military units that had been deployed near the city were being sent back to their home bases but this decision was reverse stopped of the secretary of defense held a meeting at the white house and on soldiers remain poised for immediate deployment of the president so decide then in an extraordinary statement to former defense secretary denounced the president for dividing the nation esteemed general james mattis resigned in december 28th after a serious policy disagreements with President Trump he refused to comment then saying he would when the time was right now hes condemned the president for as he puts it ordering troops to buy the Constitutional Rights of their fellow citizens and he continues donald trump is the 1st president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American People does not even pretend to try instead he tries to divide us we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years of the deliberate effort we are witnessing the consequences of 3 years without mature leadership heavily on National Guard troops deployed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial a graphic image of a society divided putting troops against a city and its residents they are meant to serve i can ill just say or washington. Of former u. S. President barack obama addressed the crisis brought about by the death of george floyd he says people of color have witnessed too much violence and called for progress and Police Reforms i want to speak directly to the young men and women color in this country. Who is where im just so eloquently described we have witnessed too much violence and too much of it and if you want and some of the violence has come. From folks who were supposed to be serving and protecting you. I want you to know that you matter i want you to know that your lives matter that your dreams matter she covered tons he has woven the protests from washington d. C. Where there was a heavy military presence. Wednesday was by far the largest protest weve seen yet in d. C. Thousands upon thousands protested not just here outside the white house but around the city but it was also by far the largest show of military force that weve seen so far the protests federally controlled National Guards rather mysterious federally controlled paramilitary groups who are uniform but have no identifying markings but we understand from various federal agencies plus always that ever present threat of some 1600 active military units who are stationed just outside d. C. Who are ready to be here within the hour without to have their riot gear were told they have the bandits there on the outskirts they can be here within within the hour so its rather chilling to know all that however everything is going very peacefully the military units here certainly the National Guard units have not lashed out as weve seen often said on monday when they were just around lash out at protesters for apparently no reason that everyone is this they just kept the line they havent really done anything which is of great relief to everyone but ive talked to some of the protesters who are here today. Keith whats your feeling there protesting when youre face to face with such immense force potentially. As much as were presented with a force they are you know our presence is a lot more forceful than they are because you know theyre the ones with the weapons what does the weapons mean if were not doing anything harmful they can hurt us where our amendment is to peacefully protest the more we peacefully protest they cannot kick us off here they cannot send us anywhere they cannot do anything to us as long as we have peacefully protest in the history of. Peaceful protest is often met with violence from Security Forces in the United States. Youre right it does end up in violence from Security Forces but thats just proving a point thats why we need to be out here more we need to bond together even more the more that we bond together the more that we are together the harder it is for them to come against us. Libyas u. N. Recognize government says it has full control of the capital tripoli after fighting with forces loyal to wall off. Jenny forces have also retaken control of an abandoned airport in southern tripoli after launched an offensive to take control of the capital just over a year ago fighting continues but government Officials Say acosta has also lost significant ground in erie is close to his stronghold of tarhouni thats all coming as libyan Prime Minister for his own sorrows is in ankara to be turkeys president of egypt. Now were going to get more on the talks in turkey shortly with sin and cos who 1st lets go to mahmoud at the airport in saw them tripoli mahmoud what do we know what makes the g. N. A. T. So confident that it has control of tripoli. Well the robber taking control of this inactive the Old International airport the Government Forces that managed to move beyond their port and push have to his forces back beyond the minutes that they have bulldozers this southern borders of the capital tripoli now this ignorance of this airport as the military commanders of the government here tell us it is that it they now have stopped tufted its forces from targeting get many areas inside tripoli by. Airstrikes and also by sending in rockets from this airport now this airport remained for one year and that helped us forces control and the Government Forces say that they were engaged in fierce of battles over the past year until they finally managed to be captured this airport the Government Forces say that to their diddy captured or their control of the airport is partly thanks to the advance of the weapons it provided to the government by turkey as you know this is. By virtue of the military and Security Agreement cede to between you and recognize the Prime Minister face and the turkish president president of egypt last november the only problem remains now for the Government Forces in the land mines planted by half as forces in the vicinity of the airport which oppose a threat not only for the Government Forces but also for the displays civilians who cannot wait to return home after the Government Forces took control of the airport and its vicinity now the Government Forces have also advanced in many areas and they pushed house that us forces back beyond the odd minutes as a minister to the borders of the capital tripoli that are now chasing them in the vicinity of the city of thought who are these the Government Forces say that they are now preparing for a fresh offensive to move on the city of that one of the last stronghold of half that his forces in the west of libya rob thank you very much indeed i want to bring in sin and cos you knew from istanbul from the reaction out of turkey. Cinema just the fact that this announcement is made being made about tripoli on the day when the Prime Minister is in color to talk to president to one really cant be much of a coincidence candidate. Well. I must say that this announcement was welcomed by just sorts especially after everything recapturing. A base this is a race is very important for turkey as well because. After means may when the g. N. A. T. Forces recaptured based there for. There are actually rumors that may deploy its forces to a base and continue its trading any cooping facilities for the g. N. A. T. Forces and its allied forces over there so there may be a coincidence but. Not to be as well for us today is Prime Minister. Visits is very important because it also coincides with the defer to Prime Ministers visit to moscow which happened yesterday and after that visit Russian Foreign ministry issued this statement that they are going to cherish for everything to be in line with the a uns a commission. Of the situation in libya this is not the 1st visit of Prime Minister to as a surprise to cherokee but this was this is different because before he used to come here and visit take a government institutions like Defense Ministry of Foreign Ministry chief of Army Intelligence if for the logistics and military support that turkey is providing for the g. N. A. T. Its a lot forces on the ground but and also he used to meet with presence are gone but this time theyre going to talk about a political solution then libya thats why it is important because the messages from mosco which were given to deputy Prime Minister yesterday will also be discussed it within the hour during the meeting that is going to take place in ankara soon and thank you very much indeed that Sinan Christiane to bring us up to date from istanbul there i want to bring in on us over once hes director of the tripoli based so their constituency is joining us live from london on skype thank you very much indeed for giving us your time this announcement about the g. N. A. T. Taking control of tripoli how significant is this is this a Tipping Point in this conflict. So the new years i mean its been coming for a year now. I mean all of the forces that have coalesced around have those last stronghold in western libya the talent on him which is very very close to tripoli this is this is really important to end after his ability to return to immediate conflict in tripoli and it was always hovering over the negotiations that began in january and february of this year after the war the talks in berlin and as your point just explained you know this is now as you know is in a better position to live in the goetia shoes but its also a much more precarious position because many of its combatants many of its forces on the ground really didnt pursue it hoped at least that libya to stronghold in the in the turn of last march on the outskirts of benghazi and many believe that they can then negotiate but theres going to be a real split within the generals forces here and its political leaders as this search for a political solution goes on has sent in was talking about nevertheless one would assume that theyre fighting on the ground isnt something going to stop what is the risky thing that there is going to be more conflict and whats going to take to actually make that stop and make the civilian safer in libya. Well i mean you know were only 9 years since the u. N. Voters arent resolution of the 73 theres doctrine the responsibility to protect should have been something that they that they chose to return to because you know libyas that was under un mandates to return to april 4th doesnt seen one helicopter launched as offensive many of the supporters of the Government National accord and many of those that oppose it by after today are going to be lost trust in the u. N. Process and i think for then theyll continue to fight suit something that philip up there is weaker now i think you have a major major problems and major challenges Going Forward because you have so many conflicts in libya that are just full on these very very local lines and those forces that are now fighting with the jenae are made up of forces from western libya but also forces that were displaced by helicopters and allied forces inside that were so its partially intercommunal conflict its also one that has ellen a. J. And it kind of that i would do it but often times when you find that its intercommunal its you know brother brother and cousin or cousin its just so much more beautiful there are so many more Human Rights Violations and that this is something that has been a constant trend in libya since 1011. 00 that when those things happen and its a communal lines you find the displacement numbers now in libya and in tripoli you have around anywhere between 200400000 people that have been displaced 10 to 20 percent of the population of tripoli so again you know the commonalities here are kind of dangerous but i think to return to a solution or a policy here the International Community needs to kind of live up to its high standards that it sets into as a level and return back to them and be able to not draw the lines where it fits helicopters are you know offensive operations and then essentially everybody else that it is a return with with real sanctions are called the mission and criticism and then some sort of teeth when dealing with these actors who break the laws who break the regulations and also you know break a rule and commit war crimes and it is a simple as that if you allow someone to kill it will cry. And then the commander of that Little Village force the granddaughter is she will become a little into the diplomatic process and theres going to be no soil so the solution the lives of so its a really really dangerous balancing minus saga much sometimes a real struggle with the. Im afraid time is against us but thank you very much indeed for your time thank you very far ahead on the news hour including how an economic blockade spurred qatar to rely less on imports and produce its own Food Products and the League Leaders in portugal struggle in their 1st game back after the coronavirus and for suspension just going to have all the action in sport. Hong kongs legislature has criminalized insulting chinas National Anthem the vote was delayed after several prodemocracy politicians were kicked out of the Legislative Council chamber during the debate on the bill and under the law it was considered to have misused or unlocked the end some could be sentenced up to 3 years in prison the vote coincides with the 31st anniversary of the chinaman square massacre as activists plan to defy a police ban to hold a vigil to commemorate victims. Sarah clarks life for us in hong kong perhaps isnt any surprise that this bill has been policy but what happens during the meeting. Was that we had 41 lawmakers support this particular National Anthem bill we had one person rejected or few used to support it we had all the prodemocracy law my kids in the lives of council but steinle boycotted the vote as you mentioned earlier that vote which in the last hour or so we had some chaotic scenes when a number of prodemocracy lawmakers were victims from the china borats i threw some sort of brown liquid as a result the debate was adjourned and the police and fire authorities moved in to try and identify what that nick was now this new law it criminalizes the blocking all the ridiculing of chinas National Anthem and if found guilty people found guilty could face a 6000. 00 fine or 3 years in jail now a bit of background was introduced last year in general but was withdrawn when it was considered to be fueling further antigovernment sentiment during antigovernment demonstrations months of those demonstrations which paralyzed parts of hong kong for most of 29. 00 tain that weve also on this side this week at another key event thats often marked for 31 years its been in hong kong this is the square vigil we know we have thousands of people gathered behind me in this particular pockets when the biggest parks in hong kong Victoria Park but for the 1st time in 31 years its been banned of the government says its because of the covert 19 social distancing prescriptions and gatherings of more than i people are not allowed but we still have a number of people gathering around where we are but weve got 3000 police have been deployed on through site to stop for a full c. Span at victoria and this particular area its all been sealed off but as i mentioned weve still got some people supporters people who want to pay their respects to those lives lost in the town square massacre on june 4th 90 i do know and are gathering around us live in some booth set up across hong kong where people have been allowed to pay their respects so thank you very much indeed lets talk to jays joseph showing hes a political scientist and a prodemocracy counter hes joining us live from hong kong. By skype thank you very much indeed for being with us so hong kong is now facing the National Anthem bill its likely to face the security bill and the vigil for tianna month square which has been going for 30 years has now been banned what does the future hold for Hong Kong Well it seems quite clear that the boozing dad one country 2 systems small though theyre tiny so far the speedy step hong kong is a threat to the genius of the jamie and it is very concerned with the demonstration of hong kong on china so days of tendency to crackdown and desist naturally it logical outcome citizens to the Hong Kong Government and the jane. You like to need to talk to the top testers to talk to the prodemocracy movements theyve fuels to make any concessions so it is a logical outcome and the simple section of the National Security model from p. J. Which will soon be probably probably at the end of this month is seen to be the end of the one country 2 systems model because this is imposed by beijing with doubtful going through the hong kong leftist asia without consulting the hong kong people so does is certainly and indeed cation bad good chinese authorities are getting very impatient and day out willing to pay the price so to speak to engage in an effort down as well youve been talking to us weve just been looking at pictures from hong kong of people who have been gathering to mock the 10 of them the ceremony of that for this ceremony and forgive me of the tenement square massacre thats of course in despite the fact that they vigil has been banned how do you think future protests are going to be shaped. Well d. Excuse this time is of course this so suit this insane regulations because of the and then me but he and i approved a month received movement is very concerned that it will have to kneel on National Security lol holding a gathering and articulate a slogan of terminate dean one potty b. This year and the kind of time hes come to spot the down with terry lamb and its even set to leave and so on they will be considered. A crime and people with the prosecution and even sentenced to prison so there is stephan if they did terrence in create it and hong kong people from st and but they both probably be that mecca enough to work within the beagle friend dave will continue to show their anger signs to the 98. 00 government of is snitch it to missy and trying to be to avoid.

You want to remind of our top stories this hour on kongs legislature has criminalized insult in chinas National Anthem earlier several prodemocracy politicians were removed from the Legislative Council chamber as the law was being debated. The Police Officer who knelt on the neck of george floyd in minneapolis is facing a more serious charge of 2nd degree murder 3 other officers on the scene have now been charged with aiding and abetting murder. Former u. S. Defense secretary james mattis has criticized chumps handling of the crisis hes accused him of dividing the American People saying the consequences of the result of 3 years without mature leadership. Ok lets go back to that story about the 4 officers in minneapolis now being charged in connection with the death of George Floyd Jay grays live for us in minneapolis how are people reacting to this news jay. Well its something that these protests for the last 10 days have been centered on getting the 3 other officers charged in upping the charges of Derrick Chauvin the officer whose knee was on the neck of george floyd as he died so the response has been positive people say that they feel like their voices are being heard but theyre also quick to point out that the protest wont stop the justice hasnt been served until not only are these officers convicted but there are broad and sweeping changes across the nation in the way policing is carried out so they say that will continue but it will pause at least briefly today for a Memorial Service the 1st of several for floyd it will take place here on the campus of North Central university there is a Worship Center just behind us thats where floyds families friends is loved ones will gather across the street there is a park and in that park giant video screens thousands expected to gather there to pay their respects as well all of this coming just hours after the new charges against the 3. 00 officers and the charges against chauvin now look theyll be another memorial that will come this weekend in North Carolina thats where floyd was born and then a public viewing and funeral thats in houston early next week thats the city rob where floyd grew up and lived for quite some time before moving here to minneapolis eternally general that Keith Ellison is quoted as saying that winning a conviction is going to be hard because history has shown that there are going to be clear challenges thats going to put an awful lot of pressure on the prosecutors but also an awful lot of attention of course from the protesters as well. Well i think youre absolutely right and look no one thinks that this case is a slam dunk though the attorney general did go on to say that he is very confident in their case and feels like that they have the evidence they need he also stressed that this investigation is continuing that they are gathering more evidence and hes urged anyone who may have been at the scene during the time of the arrest and the arrests that ended in floyds death to contact him that they are still looking for more information here so this is still a very active investigation and really just the beginning of a Legal Process thats going to take quite some time jay thanks very much indeed thats a great bringing us up to date from minneapolis. Police in senegal have arrested more than 70 people after protests against coronavirus restrictions turned violent demonstrators torched Police Vehicles and a Health Center near the capital dhaka there calling for an end to the state of emergency and a nighttime curfew senegals interior minister is expected to announce an easing of lockdown restrictions later on this stage and live for us in the capital dhaka what have people been saying when theyve been protesting there. Well theyve essentially been angry at the restrictions put in place in the name of coronavirus right now were in downtown des car where we saw on president and protests weve never seen things things like this that weve seen last night in years Police Protests testers throwing rocks burning of burning tires Police Responding with firing tear gas now i just hear indycar but throughout the country in various cities the violence really was so strong that the ministry of interior late last night called on the military to be deployed to try to quell the violence theres one dead in the city of talaq eyewitness say that Police Officers around a vehicle towards protesters in the city of tuba we saw demonstrators set alight an ambulance and the Health Center meant to protect them against the current virus such as the level of distrust that people have towards the government and towards the measures put in place by the government and were talking here about the state of emergency and the curfew curfew that place during the night and a state of emergency that has been in place since mid march and people here the vast majority of them will live on less than 5. 00 a day cannot sustain a living under these circumstances and thats why theyre out protesting. Nick senegals interior minister as we were talking about is expected to announce. Some sort of easing of the law do we have any details of fault he might be saying and do you think thats going to be enough to placate the protesters. Well were at the height of the dry season with the rainy season expected in just a months time and so this is the time where people in the city young people go to their farmland to plant the seeds and now that hasnt been happening because of the measures put in place to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus so one of the things that the protesters want they want to be able to go back inside the country to plant the seeds needed to grow and to farm in order to earn a living so were expecting the ministry of interior to ease the restrictions. To do with the transport of people between this is one of the key factor another key factor is you know theres been a restriction in terms of public gatherings a lot of people here. Rely on Restaurants Hotels tourism to survive and so they want to see businesses reopen so that people can go back to work thats the main issue and its not just here in senegal that weve seen protests weve seen protests in faso weve seen protests in the share people are increasingly. Finding the measures put in place by their leadership tiring and are growing impatient towards that monkey cell Just Announced that on friday that the state of emergency will be. What will go on the until the end of june. Nicholas thank you very much indeed live for us in dakar. Thousands of people in argentina have defied a coronavirus locked arm to join protests calling for an end to the killing of women the not one Less Movement has been getting momentum over the past 5 years as violence against women continues to rise through suborder ports what it says. Its been 5 years since the not one Less Movement in argentina became a force to defend women rights in the south american country. The split of 1000 prevented the gathering of thousands of people in front of the president ial palace but some of them saying they cannot stay at home when women continue to die almost daily. Right now that we started because we were angry as theres no justice and it hasnt been resolved and continues to fail every 26 hours a woman dies because theres no budget assigned to fight violence. Says the quarantine was imposed in march at least 57 are known to have been killed by their partners or former partners 77 children lost their mothers even though the government has created a Womens Ministry and implemented measures to try and prevent women from being abused n. G. O. S say more needs to be done. You know that they believe that imposing a protective measure to defend a woman can prevent violence by itself and its not the case right now there are women living with their aggressors a newbie can protect them especially in times of current. Ngo saying proof that the current policies are failing are the 300 women that have been killed in the past year people came here not only to demand more Government Action to prevent various sides in this country but also to demand a legal i say center of abortion in argentina abortion. Rights in this country if i were to make life a risk or in case of a. They gonna argue. This was expected to present a new law in congress this year to legalize abortion but the whole process was delayed because of covert 19 say were going there and it will go but soon its a divisive issue in argentina where the Catholic Church and pope francis who. Are strong opponents of. The funeral says its time to divide church and state in this mostly catholic country but it is there but. What we want to support the church from the state because they get millions of subsidy and when theres only 1. 00 per woman to protect them from gender violence or wants a priest they can pay for it the government shouldnt give money to an institution that goes against womens right. Right these people vow to continue fighting for to save womens lives. I just. Mexicos recorded its highest number of coronavirus deaths in a single day it reported 1092 fatalities on wednesday thats more than double the previous days figure the country also saw a record surge in new infections homans in mexico city he explains why the figures are so high. Mexico has just broken the 100000 case mark and also the daily death toll for corona virus now the government explained that the death toll was actually for one day it was late over a larger period of time as results came in but one thing is for certain and thats that the number of corona virus infections and the number of people dying from this is increasing in the country rather than going down and thats a bit of a problem for the government because they were thinking that the peak to this would be about 3 weeks ago and that hasnt happened its also a problem because the country has been gradually reopening from the 1st of june now at the moment its meant to be only essential activities and essential industries and people are really meant to be going out in public now in the more affluent parts of mexico city where we are now you can see that thats been largely a bait in the working class parts of the city it really hasnt been weve been in places where theres been a lot of people out in the streets a lot of them need to go out to earn their living thats what theyve been telling us but that could cause a problem in terms of the hospitals were in an intensive care unit just yesterday and there they were telling us that theyre worried about this for opening because they think that the hospitals could get more and more such rated until they cant cope especially if the curve hasnt yet been flat and the last thing to say about this is that the countrys president and his mother were Lopez Obrador is himself actually on tour so he is definitely not staying home and theres been questions over what sort of message that sends 2 of the mexicans hes in honduras have stopped migrants from making their way across the country to the northern border with what amala them trying to get to the United States but the being stranded in the south since the coronavirus pandemic started south hideouts reports.
