President donald trump has been criticized for invoking George Floyds name while taking a victory lap over lower than expected jobless numbers his likely election rival joe biden called his remarks despicable floyd was killed in Police Custody after a Police Officer knelt on his neck for almost 9 minutes the death has led to 10 days of protests right across the u. S. Hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing thats happening for a country theres a great day for him its a great day for everybody this is a great day for everybody this is a great great day in terms of equality so the new figures for may suggest the American Economy is already starting to recover from the pandemic but its not great news for everyone in march 1 point 3000000 people lost their jobs due to a lockdown measures aimed at containing the virus taking the Unemployment Rate to 4. 4 percent a further 20600000. 00 jobs were lost in april when unemployment hit a record high of 14. 7 percent in may that rate dropped to 13. 3 percent as 2 and a half 1000000 jobs were created in leisure and hospitality construction and education but it rose to 16. 8 percent for African Americans and 17. 6 percent for latinos when we had a problem we were able to cut it off stop it just like this stop it keep everyone. Inside keep them away keep them together away uninfected and we saved millions of lives and now were opening and were opening with a bang and weve been talking about the this is better than a v. This is a rocket ship so thats what the president has been saying lets bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly how can it so clearly its election season over the u. S. And we hear what trump has to say about the numbers but what about his opponent joe biden what more has he said. Yeah well joe biden has pushed back not just on the employment numbers but also on the of bouquets of george floyd staves of course the victim who was in that painful video with the officers knee on his neck ultimately dying and leading to these now global protests in support of ending racial inequality joe biden for his part really pushed back on the notion by donald trump that there are is fair and equitable treatment in policing and in the United States and he also scoffed that Donald Trumps claim that hes done more for black people than any other president but clearly it was invoking George Floyds name that seemed to upset joe biden the most George Floyds last words i cant breeds i cant breathe. And i could all across this nation and quite frankly around the world for the president to try to put any other words of the mouths of george florrie i frankly think is despicable and the fact that he did so on the day when black unemployment rose hispanic unemployment rose black youth unemployment skyrocket it tells you everything you need to know about this man. And what he really cares about what the reaction is there kimberly specifically on the unemployment numbers because they were better than what had been for cost. Well House Speaker nancy pelosi has said this is not the work of the president s policies this is the work of congress and those enormous Coronavirus Relief bills to help inject cash into the u. S. Economy help ordinary americans who are out of work and also help them get back to work and joe biden went on to criticize the claims that the u. S. President this is the Great American comeback in fact he said that the president is essentially having a Mission Accomplished sign prematurely given the fact that there are still millions of americans out of work and struggling to put food on the table still the u. S. President has been touting the success he says saying that not only are things Getting Better this month but he rejects that will continue to improve but the big thing hes promising is that if you reelect him things will get better after november in other words in 2020 what he says and this is an indication its election time now he says that if you elect biden the policies will stop if you put the wrong people in the white house in other words predicting economic gloom all right kimberly thank you for that update from the white house lets speak about this with erin says youre now whos a labor economist an associate professor at the university of minnesota hes also a former senior economist for the u. S. President s council of economic advisors thanks for your time with us on the aljazeera news hour so the expectation of course was that the unemployment figures would hover around 20 percent for the month of may theyve come in at 13. 3 percent i how do you read into this is this a sign of recovery in the u. S. Off to the coronavirus pandemic. No theres no way you theres were not after the pandemic pandemic remain it is a sign that maybe weve hit the bottom of this wave of the pandemic and the reaction that we have taken to save lives and were starting to reopen then cautiously and worst safely trying to get resume and Economic Activity. And thats what were seeing you know we had as you set up just unprecedented contraction of Economic Activity to preserve life and how and you know were were getting back to work one small step forward. We still have a huge long road to walk before we get back to where we were so what youre saying is that these numbers should be treated with a little bit of caution that. Well i think theyre real i think they do reflect that Economic Activity picked up between mid april in mid may and you know when you fall down so far easy to bounce back up and its the 1st step back is easy in the next step back is a little harder you know maybe halfway back is not too bad and i think thats not the question that thats going to happen on its own no. The question is what are we going to do to close the last part of the journey and to get all the way back to where we started we have real challenges do that well let me ask you about specific communities and particularly the Unemployment Rate among the Africanamerican Community because it ticked up to 16. 8 percent and that in fact is the highest number in more than a decade latinos as well facing an Unemployment Rate of 17. 6 percent so where do you see these figures in particular heading and will we see the gap narrow between communities of color and whites in the months of the months ahead you know. Theres a great question we have. We will see progress i think we will see progress pretty broadly i dont think that will necessarily see the disparities decline. The most hard hit sectors of the economy are the ones that disproportionately poor people of color and so it will it will be slower. To get back to normal. You know i think the challenges were facing in our economy and in our society are very real and there are you know fundamentally public help challenges right now. And we need to address that. So you know that africanamerican Unemployment Rate ticked up. To 16. 8 percent which is the same as at the peak of the great recession. Part of it is that people came back into the labor force and are looking for work and. You know we have such a long way back to where we started its very premature to declare Mission Accomplished all right well leave it there and so when are we thank you very much for speaking to us from minneapolis.

And in many other countries protesters say theyve had enough of decades of racism and repression and cant tell us what you by those who are supposed to protect and serve were sorry we grieve and this is an injustice that should never happen again. But despite the mostly peaceful protests. Critics say theres plenty of evidence the injustice is continuing with several confrontations since floyds death now under investigation. Was. Peaceful protesters have been tear gassed in iowa and Los Angeles National guard who look like theyre dressed for the battlefield have patrolled a stretch of hollywood boulevard normally frequented by tourists and celebrities and police wayne besen said people who witnesses say was simply standing with their hands up.

Monday several protesters and the American Civil Liberties union assuming the police are what happened well the vast majority of Police Officers do their job bravely and righteously it is undeniable that many africanamericans a lacked confidence in our american criminal Justice System this must change not just.

Now we just need at a federal level to where were banning chokeholds and we are taking into account the real moved experiences of africanamerican. Back in this country im excited to hear that but we have a long way to go and its a step in the right direction but let me ask you this mark thanks in a new poll coming out of the u. S. Nearly 3 fourths of americans now view the death of george ford at the hands of a white Police Officer as a sign of an underlying Racial Injustice problem over in the u. S. And this is in fact a significant shift from a similar question just 6 years ago so how the last 10 days really dramatically shaped and changed the way americans view race in their country. I think its something that africanamericans and black people in this country have been living with for for decades. I know that we have video footage camera footage people are starting to wake up and take note but this is a very real lived experience of so many people in this country especially africanamerican Police Brutality and race. And system that has put in place barriers for black people to move upward to move mobley upward in this country right so how can the system then be changed we know that it wont happen overnight but what what needs to be done yeah so it starts on the ground right so you have like the end of lake c. P. We have branches and units all across this country where they can get engaged in their local neighborhood where they can demand change where they can demand reform you know in so many places across the country in the past several years and so we district attorneys to be replaced because they have not brought charges against Police Officers who have killed people or harmed or used Excessive Force when issuing try taishan or or you know trying to reprimand citizens across the country or. Coming we just have to do it at a local level. When its all across the end of each individual theyre all Good Community start to demand change we can see real change happen and let me just ask you one more question for the have you with us what do you think the protest movement had to next how does a man and how do you keep the momentum going yeah i think this is going to keep going we theres a large march that is going to happen in august on august 28th that coincides with the march on washington. And were going to do so that is going to be a big march people from all over the world. Are go about it and theyre going to join and were going to demand that Police Accountability and Police Brutality be stopped that we no longer have that happening in our country so this is going to keep going and we have a long. But its not an overnight if we have the support of people of other communities we can definitely change all right so well leave it there marchbanks we thank you very much for us to do us on the news hour and just apologies for the poor audio connection with our guest out of washington but well move on for now and tell you about whats coming up on the aljazeera news hour and arrested for not wearing a mask the death of a man in mexican Police Custody triggers violent protests the u. N. Warns that more than 1300 people have been killed in fighting in the democratic republic of congo in the past 8 months. The 1st the mayor of washington d. C. Has sent a message to President Trump a very big one where he has renamed the street in front of the white house black lives matter plaza and had the slogan painted in huge letters along the road it was done to send a message that the city stands with the protest movement it comes days after donald trump ordered the forceful removal of peaceful demonstrators who are gathered outside the white house lets cross over to Shihab Rattansi hes out with protesters out in washington she have tell us what youre seeing around you. Well its quite the assertion of Municipal Authority is it has the white house isnt it now infamous church of syndrome directly opposite. Donald trump brandished the bible and now its right in front this is been named a black lives place and as you said we have these enormous lessons spelling that out up the street in front of the white house it is however a symbolic a session of authority as we discovered sir clearly this week in the end d. C. Is to states we have a mess we dont have a government we dont have any meaningful representation in congress that means basically the president can do pretty much what he wants around here the man however can do things like this the symbolic the symbolic protest is going down terribly well however. Is the reaction from black lives now to d. C. This is a perfect this is performative and the destruction from a madhouse is active counter organizing to our dumonds to decrease the Police Budgets and invest in the community blocked lives massive means defund the police. What black lives matter of fighting it isnt donald trump necessarily isnt the drool forces its Municipal Police forces its its municipal power who then shields Police Forces from prosecution and transparency well giving them ever more money in fact d. C. In the latest Budget Proposal is praising yet another increase after many already a 1000000. 00 for the local police will help you to do it militarize and so on while taking money out of social housing and social programs and the argument from this is look this is the wrong way round if you invest in your communities then you dont need a police force on the streets to police the inequality that results from not investing for the austerity and then in just the last couple of hours youve got another block. That weve gotten many emails about being mean to me about that but not about the murders by police she ignored and the families this is why house. Started to remind you how. Young. Jeffrey price.

The governor of tillis go state says video of lopezs arrest doesnt show the reality. Of the misleading way in which they made everyone and telescope believe that giovanni was arrested for not wearing a mosque thats already been exposed by the Public Prosecutor and what happened today was the cherry on the cake it was the way in which they allowed a legitimate protest a protest for a cause to be infiltrated and turned violent.

Protests have swelled across mexico in solidarity with George Floyds death in the United States but many mexicans are also dealing with their own issues with police where they live.

D. P. s lieschen in africa. So does people actually move from their village to defeat the conflict in order to go to other villages where the Host Communities are usually very weak so they are so we do have and you are seeing there is a very big sense of solidarity so people do what other people however communities are already done sauced either previous i. D. P. s or dont have access wired you know artist or food so they get those new communities getting to that to the villages and they have to look at that when we talk about it when we talk about displacement its important not only to talk about assisting the displaced people but actually really to protect them and i was going to show about in fact what sort of protection that is being given given to those displaced.
