In dire straits now were breaking point strong owners in south africa to protest the coronavirus lockdown restrictions devastating the industry and accuse the government of failing to provide the support they need to survive. Im phil gal welcome to the program we start in the United States where President Trump has announced a major deployment of federal forces to 2 u. S. Cities the white house says operation legend will target crime in american citizen will involve an imminent deployment of security to chicago and then to albuquerque new mexico areas. Today im announcing a surge of federal Law Enforcement in 2 American Communities plagued by Violent Crime will work every single day to restore Public Safety protect our nations children and bring violent perpetrators to justice weve been doing it and youve been seeing whats happening all around the country weve just started this process and frankly we have no choice but to get involved assert goats are our washington correspondent staff and siemens that welcome staff and so what else do we know about this surge. And not too much except that the president is adamant and his administration adamant to send more federal Law Enforcement personnel into the named cities chicago as you said albuquerque even kansas city small amount there that will those will be Law Enforcement police from the f. B. I. The federal bureau of investigation from the d. E. A the Drug Enforcement administration from the a. T. F. Alcohol tobacco and Firearms Agency and the h s i this is the homeland. The department of homeland security. Acronym for this so we will see in those cities according to the president now a significant number off all federal Law Enforcement officers and as you can imagine the cities he chose are run by democrats as mayors. So they are not that happy about this and it is so far an open question why no. Violence in chicago is bad no doubt about this a lot of people die there every day every weekend. And local Law Enforcement trying to get a whole hand on this and a handle on this for years but why sending in now federal Law Enforcement personnel that is maybe a political question so just to be clear. This deployment to take chicago the as you mentioned this is completely separate so these days these protests the being dealt with by federal office as they say portland. Until racism protests that appear to have got out of hand this is this is this appears to be Something Different. Yeah it is Something Different there are no. Similar protests as you see there in Portland Oregon where protesters say locals as well as federal Law Enforcement try to attack federal buildings that hasnt happened. On that scale or at all in chicago here it is the president portraying himself and giving himself as the marshal not just the sheriff but the marshal who comes to town with federal troops to implement law and all of because he things that is the narrative at least the democrats are now. Trying to push forward because he thinks that nobody else can implement the law and order like he can and specifically not democrats cities so they go the president is a strong man our tries to portray himself as a strong man sending in federal federal Law Enforcement but it has nothing to do with black life matters or or anti racism protests or anything in chicago and im not aware of that is any way related also in albuquerque or kansas city for the same reason well we have a situation where these federal troops are being deployed over their heads and against the wishes of the local municipal leaders we have the chicago man in lightfoot already asking the president not to send these these and identify federal agents to his city but hes doing it anyway. Hes doing it anyway and again i. I think its fair to say that this is clearly politically motivated this is the president catering to his followers to his clientele hes trying to make sure that everybody understands that he is the man of law and order d and that is clearly a Campaign Topic agenda a platform for his campaign for november for the president ial elections in u. S. Television you see the Trump Campaign actually pushing political advertising spots with. The president approved. And they are all saying if you go to the to the polls in november and vote for joe biden youre basically giving the country to terrorists and criminals because you cant even reach the police anymore so this seems to be all a little bit related and you think the thing is actually its so blatant its so almost all this that i dont think this is going to sit very very well with the democrats obviously but also it wont sit very well in courts there will be challenges in court for those decisions by the trumpet immiseration dissent more federal Law Enforcement in those cities ok so weve had federal Law Enforcement in a number of cities for some days and we have the surge coming do we have any indication of how this is actually playing with the american public. Know thats a little bit early now i mean it wasnt expected by observers 5 political commentators by the pundits by by us by joel is that this is coming because again it is it is may be seen by the administration and by President Trump as something beneficial for his campaign for his chances to be reelected but. It is not that i havent seen yet or nobody has seen it any demonstrations over the large scale against this again this will be a battle which will be fought in call in court between democrats between mayors melissa polities and the federal authorities and of course its you never know i can easily imagine that people will go on the street and say we dont need federal help in our cities to to deal with our own problems it is a it is very very precarious and it is a really hot topic at the moment he had no doubt good talking to stefan thank you so much stuff and siemens in washington meanwhile the u.
