S. They vow to keep the momentum going until change takes place in minneapolis city officials have agreed to Ban Police Chokeholds and require officers to intervene any time they see on authorize force by another officer. Our correspondent stefans zemindars has been covering this story in minneapolis this morning im standing trips became one of the most significant places in the United States would be just about 2 weeks heres where george for die and here is where people come every day still to celebrate his life and the born is that he is also where people come now and say they will start a movement a movement they say which will grow through the United States which will try to change this society in this country getting rid of Police Brutality and also systemic racism in this country. People say they have to get organized they have to get better at this but its all about communicating for them to push the symbol up to go forward it is about george floyd still but all of this they say has become much much bigger. Elsewhere in the United States protests have been taking place from coast to coast for another day in new york protesters defied a curfew on friday evening the demonstrations are now mostly peaceful in stark contrast to last weekends violence in many cities across the country in chicago hundreds of people have been demanding that the citys police force be defended and demilitarize. U. S. President donald trump passport fresh outrage after suggesting george floyd would be pleased with his administrations performance made the comments at a press conference focusing on better than expected employment numbers. Say his name a common chant by protesters remembering victims of racist violence but this isnt what they intended to trump referenced george floyd as he praised his administrations economic achievements hopefully george is looking down right now and say this is a great thing thats happening for a country this is a great day for him its a great day for everybody is a great day for everybody this is a great great day in terms of equality. Just 6 his spokesman later said trump was referring to the National Conversation about equality trump also said deaths like floyds shouldnt happen again. But his democratic rival joe biden said trumps off script remarks showed the president was out of touch. With speaking of a man who was brutally killed by an act of needless violence and by a larger tide of injustice that has metastasized on this president s watch for the president to try to put any other words in the mouths of george florey i frankly think its despicable. Words carry weight now the mayor of washington d. C. Has had these words painted on to the streets black lives massive. And a plaza near the white house has been likewise renamed this time a reference to the protestors can support. Meanwhile President Trump has reportedly ordered the pentagon to cut the number of u. S. Troops stationed in germany by nearly a 3rd according to government sources cited by the wall street journal around 25000 would remain American Forces have been stationed in germany since the end of world war 2. Joining us from our paula mantri studio here in berlin is g. W. Political correspondent nina. Nina thanks for being here lets talk about the timing of this order from president why now was this expected lets say it doesnt come as a complete surprise the threats to withdraw troops from germany is one that President Donald Trump has made in the past several times over recent months it was also a message that was sent out repeatedly by the former ambassador to berlin here rick renault who resigned just a few days ago and the official reason is now being given according to these reports as the fact that european nato partners is. Increasing their spending on defense and what is interesting about the timing is of course that comes just days of to uncle americal the german chancellor declined an invitation by the u. S. President to attend a g. 7 summit that is taking place later in washington this month and the reports also cited in an identify the u. S. Official as saying that it has nothing to do with until a medical physician whats been the reaction here in germany and has your been any reaction from nato when the pentagon. The German Foreign ministry that deals with foreign troops that are stationed here in germany says theyre currently not commenting on these reports theres also no official white house or pentagon statement yet on the record and the reports always cites unidentified senior u. S. Officials or they give names of people but we dont have anybody on the record and there are a couple of german spokespeople for defense policy who have come out and commented but we still waiting for it of course were hearing that if these reports are true then germany the German Government was not informed about this decision which is highly unusual among nato partners especially if they swirled an operation that was long in the making and that is seen by some as an act of provocation by donald trump a little perspective here what are the implications of this move to cut the number of u. S. Troops based in germany. Well i would say it depends on where the troops are moved to if that kept in europe that is a different matter to if they have withdrawn completely completely from europe that would mean that the u. S. Commitment to European Defense under the nato. Would significantly be reduced of course but it would also have implications for the u. S. Is very own military operations when it comes to the middle east and africa because they use currently they use their bases here in west germany for all their military transport operations to iraq and afghanistan and they also have a hospital where theyre treating Wounded Soldiers and all the military involvement that is going into africa by the u. S. Is being run from southern germany. You know much thanks for that. The influence of the u. S. In germany extends beyond troops with the term all over the death of george floyd turning the spotlight on racism here in berlin. Reports now on his experience as a black person living here in germany he also looks at the allegations of racism and Police Brutality elsewhere in europe. This memorial to george floyd popped up last weekend. While he died of the hands of a policeman in the us his death is also being used to bring awareness to racism here in germany and across the world. It is hard to find a country without any form of racism and i experience that here as well. As the daring and of course comments and statements about my skin color. But you kind of move around the city as a black person without being aware obviously and color on average there are 3. 00 to 4. 00 racist incidents reported per day in the german capital according to the berlin register for discrimination and not everyone is reporting them so there could be far more. Thats why the black hawks Matter Movement has also been protesting here in berlin well europe has fewer deadly incidents involving the police some cases have stayed with me what do you charge them with not that long ago only giallo burned to death in the police cell here in germany in 2005 no one was convicted for his death. In the u. K. In 2011 mark duggan was shot by a policeman who was never convicted. In france adama died during Police Custody in 2016 and no one has been found responsible for his death thats why the protests in france have been violent. People are frustrated with structural racism. Hasnt really dealt with its links to slavery and school on your list im here in germany several streets i named after individuals from the countrys colonial period i can berlins african quarter where even now some streets bear the names of germanys most infamous and brutal cologne you figures whether its history all every day racism black peoples experiences are being ignored and thats why im also frustrated we need to address every day racism and also the past because thats the only way to move forward.
