Just 3 am here in moscow thanks for joining us and all of the International Daniel hawkins here with you tonight. Another night of violence and cities set ablaze amid protests sparked by the death of george floyd at the hands of police 1700 people have been arrested across the u. S. In minneapolis where floyd died police have been struggling to maintain the curfew there but officers resorting to ever more heavy handed methods. We need we need to fight for our law there was no peace until there. Were thousands of reportedly gathered outside the Capitol Building in Minnesota National guards have been securing its perimeter Police Though say the protests on sunday have so far been peaceful demonstrators there are demanding a special prosecutor be appointed for the case of george floyd as well as charges for the 3 other officers who were present during the fatal incident now makeshift memorial has been set up with george floyd mourners have been paying their respects leaving flowers and messages the silence also become a place for peaceful protest against Police Brutality contrasting with the anger thats been boiling over in other parts of the city and several some who is George Floyds aunt told us earlier she never expected this scale of support. He would likely only game the action here. And. Im still trying to cope with the fact that he is no longer here because were making so many plans to do things together you know overwhelm the response. And how much people care. But i think the reason why it affected people so much because everyone that was watching had a chance had the op i had to see someone dying in something. And if you have a heart. You know if you have a heart. Ready to love youre going through your veins. It can do anything but change you because there were people that told me they wanted to reach through the t. V. To stadiums. And you know im just so you know im overwhelmed by the response that were getting to the love and and its. Just trying to take it all in because we really like me because im grieving my nephew with the world and then to think hes still trying to change something in the 21st century b. C. I mean real and explore people used to hear him say oh we just. Were just kids were just. Now everybody get in shape to see that video and watch and it doesnt matter why but i probably am but you come from here you have a heart you know that was well. Nobody has no try to do that to any human being. Who just is full flow for joy wage flow is. To be convicted of murder. And is murder 3 just planning just trolling murder a murder just toying with the Family College for the 1st time i call it what it is. Then smarter. That could be anybody sister brother mother and what she said. My mama didnt want my heart to confuse the young young took me there to. Take the new snow in the park. Because i guess williams who says he worked in a nightclub in minneapolis where both george floyd on a Police Officer discharged over his death was as well shot his reaction when they can add a. New back problem pretty well i work with floyd as well we all knew him by. Their work in the club the day his 1st day coming in back in 2015 Something Like that yeah when he 1st came in he was there i was the head of security i wasnt aware was employment was hiring but the moment i saw him i knew i needed that guy on the floor rose genuine. What i mean that this guy would give you the shirt off in fact it was such a nice. Being such a big star he was true to him so much i was so derrick so even oh say you also worked with him in a nightclub tell us more about handle. And lets be clear about this that people together its close because its not like you working shoulder to shoulder. As you sit in this Park Building at the time you dont even know whos in their squad cars they show up they stay outside they dont come in they dont exist ok. Just want to. Come out so we dont really. Play by the same people ok so their childrens relationship with floyd was very short because that was at a club. That was. Shot in. The day also i did clear that up i d. Do. Think they should even recognize floyds joining their arrest. Its possible that maybe. They did die in that money can you think of my sister recognizes you in my business here that usually gives you some type of insight with that officer some type of time in level with that officer that usually helps you out in situations so you got called over. Due respect you knew me off sick shit what with the make use they can help you get out of it take it so no no officer will usually help you now are you i was going to say i dont i do not believe that there was any previous messages between these 2 and i would like to clear that up but i do not believe that so knowing both of these men how did you feel what was your reaction when you 1st saw the video. I was horrified i mean come on i mean come on that was. On every level. It was i was horrified. I moved off was right away at this scene in the video i just didnt understand what i was doing this i never knew she was the 2 people going Something Like that so i was absolutely shocked and horrified then i was waged and saddened all of that came you know. And im still just. Decided. Just. Well seattle has doubled its number of National Guards deployed with an extra 200 troops of the chaos the west coast city 27 arrests were made on saturday in connection with the looting which also saw patrol cars set on fire and seattles mayor has imposed a city wide curfew were joined live now. Joined in protests in seattle zach thanks for coming on the program today good to have you with us we understand you were out there on the streets part of the protests there just give us an idea of the feeling the mood on the streets whats been going on over the last 24 hours. The feeling is rage at this point its just utter rage. This morning i went downtown to where the riots had happened last night and there was maybe 500 or so people actually cleaning up. The mess the graffiti the chaos. But. Recently about 10 minutes ago i just got a notification on the phone the curfew is now in effect again and there are people. Forming up in downtown seattle again. The terms of the what the protesters want obviously the main office responsible for most of the lawyers that hes been charged the trial we dont know whats going to happen but has been shot as the others have been fired their own investigation whats left to achieve here what the protesters one. Well i think everybody you know wants Something Else this is a very complex issue and the anger in the rage that people are feeling its not just about. George floyd its about its not even just about. Going to taylor its about an endless list of names that are as new as Trayvon Martin and as old as and that this is something thats been happening in america for decades if not centuries police and the people in power have been brutalizing black americans and out a certain point you have to ask yourself what else can be done everyone always out the case for nonviolence for peaceful protests but nothing has changed this keeps happening and if it keeps happening i think people are going to keep right. What do you make of the way the police the final protests so far where you are and indeed across the country. Again thats a very complicated thing on friday night i was at a protest that was mostly led by anti and i actually thought that the police at that protest were. Relatively benign they were relatively peaceful they were actually engaging in some conversation with the protestors but yesterday i did not see that whatsoever. The cops the police they never respond to something unprovoked they never make a violent act unprovoked but the provocation is always Something Like a plastic water bottle thrown by some dumb kid in the back and they respond by throwing a flash bang into a crowd of 131415 year old kids and old people and black people and white. And then maybe some 16 year old kid gets that he gets a little bit too close to the cop and maybe even pushes a cop and that is a provocation but the cops dont respond they respond stream of violence to pepper spraying that kid and slamming his head into the. Member the protests in seattle thanks for joining us in the program and stay safe if you do go out on the streets over the next few days. Thank you. If you see ive been imposed in dozens of cities across the United States meaning people up for him from being outside off the pm stop the riots in new york city alone over 30 officers have been injured in clashes on saturday with around 350 arrests. Ok. I. Live. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Liz. Liz. Liz. Liz. Ok approach assume new york seem to have come since the vonage scenes from earlier this weekend the citys mayor has called for an investigation which will look into the shocking pictures of n. Y. P. D. Vehicles ramming into protesters the squad earlier outrage over him defending the leagues actions but live now to new york and devotee of all morning who is a freelance journalist in the process of ads for us there but i have thanks for joining us again i can see a bit of activity behind you there whats the latest. I tell you i mean you know. Youre right i dont really many people really on. The right. Time to want to. Hear you know. You know. Peter is. Here. I mean. And. I can return to. Being. The other day how have people responded to the man is called minus the man who defended those Police Officers who drove into the crowd all people angry about that is the situation calming down or getting worse. And the getting worse because were just 200 people here no more more more the march. Movement. Read the. March. Havent you and. That means that when you now. Want to. Thank you. Even though we. Will see only one of the people right now. Ok governor i will get back to you as the day goes on stay safe at the process but i want to thank you for the latest update. On amid the protests donald trump said he will designate the left wing militant group as a terrorist organization is blamed on a case for the current violence and destruction across the country journalist and t. V. Host spence one told us that trumps song so 95 could backfire. Its been a lot of pressure on the president to move against in secret for some time there are a lot of people who believe that at the pride does as a terrorist organization i actually think its a very poor precedent because what happens is even though there are a lot of conservatives in this country who would say well thats a good thing we need to label this group of that as a Terrorism Group but as soon as your guy is not in office more and you get someone from the other side that they will then want to turn around and label any protest movement on the other side also a terrorist group the establishment of the country is not sure what to make of these protests i think a lot of it has to do with its impart a black lives matter issue its in part a response to Police Violence against unarmed black men because weve seen this over and over but i also believe the more seen this in relation to the lockdown that happened in the United States there are a lot of people who have been frustrated with the Financial System theyre frustrated with not having jobs not being able to make money theres a lot thats going on thats creating frustration and then to see another blatant example of another black man killed at the hands of Police Officers and its not just one officer by the way theres video that shows 3 other officers for some time around george floyd and the fact that there are 4 other officers in total who could have intervened and simply chose not to when protesters were saying on friday night and saturday night that their biggest frustration is that one officer has been charged but others have not been charged and they believe those officers should also be charged with murder youre seeing big coalitions of people coalescing around this particular issue which is a specific issue and an important one really to be protested but i think that there are other issues as well so i suspect we wont see at least for several days maybe even a week these these protests died out. The mayor of atlanta has confirmed that 2 Police Officers have been fired for using Excessive Force during protests there while 3 other lower force but agents have been put on administrative duties havoc in the city saw cnns officers targeted on saturday after hundreds of protesters slammed the media giants coverage of the fallout from George Floyds death and angry crowd descended on the outlets h. Q. Scaling and vandalizing the company logo i. Will c. N. N. Headquarters has already been attacked earlier this week as the protest over the killing of george floyd turned violent demonstrators smashed the windows and chanted slogans the channels been facing criticism for apparently suggesting that foreign actors had a hand in stirring up the riots. You know c. N. N. That russia might be behind some of the rioting and. The acts of violence and destruction and. I dont know that our growth of our sailors russias fault are the same also the peaceful folks and say are my Community Members these are the folks that live here and now were going to where are you demanding change he seems more. I want to see inside job. I would see not necessarily people in the community are destroying things were organizing the rights of all its kind. Of more of the people on the outside minnesota closer seats like michigan and stuff like that a lot of the kids who are arrested last night were actually. From wisconsin here in other states around here i dont think thats possible because the people i see rioting theyre not russian they are there are 4 blooded americans you know were. Just people who choose to stand on the wrong side and i believe that they come in. Cause confusion and chaos so that they can make the protesters look like theyre bad people and we dont have a cause but we would it really comes down to is when you look at that video of george floyd same i cant breathe i mean youre not human if you cant look at that and see thats wrong it doesnt matter for to policeman another man but this keeps happening over and over again and this culture has got to stop c. N. N. Likes to make a lot of stuff i really dont think the russians would be down here doing all this its me we the writers and theyre completely different groups from the protests but you know Everybody Loves a conspiracy is. Meanwhile c. N. N. Has published an apparent response to the criticism saying not every bad actor on social media is personally sent there by russian president Vladimir Putin approaches 7 are spread it beyond the u. S. As well thousands have gathered in Central London and the german capital correspondent in berlin peter all of a has more now on the european reaction. Well theres been outrage here over the killing of george floyd that video of the black man gasping for breath as a white Police Officer knelt on his neck ignoring his pleas has been seen by many people here and thats been seen in the demonstrations and the demonstrators that have come out on to the streets of cities like berlin we saw demonstrations on saturday and on sunday where they marched from the courts both region of the city to the u. S. Embassy near the Brandenburg Gate holding up signs like silence is violence hold cops accountable and who do you call when the police murder. Emotions running high here in the german capital as well as what what has been going on in the United States. Did not do enough. And. Let. On the old berlin wall in mauer park here in the german capital a mural depicting george floyd has gone up over the weekend that includes his words i cant breathe which he repeated over and over to the Police Officer that was kneeling on his neck at the time away from germany in denmark theres also been demonstrations in copenhagen outside of the u. S. Embassy and in belgium those words i cant breathe were seeing spray painted by a graffiti artist along the side of a brussels train theres also been thousands of people out on the streets of the british capital in london scenes outside of the house of parliament to follow the square on the u. S. Embassy there as well where we understand 5 people were arrested on sunday. Is part of that demonstration again people coming out and saying theyre outraged at the killing of george floyd and what they see as violence towards black people in the us from the police their. People are being slaughtered in the streets and i think you can do you. Know what is what you are you see is not exactly im here because im from miami right now im actually in it and i took my and im just proud that here in the me here in atlanta. Well as weve heard from contribute to this in the program so far who are in the United States this doesnt the violence certainly the demonstrations that are ongoing dont look like theyre going away any time soon and well be looking to european leaders particular monday to see what reaction they have to the ongoing situation in the United States thousands have been out in force across the state of florida on sunday after the governor called in National Guards there police fired tear gas at protesters in Fort Lauderdale as other cities are also seeing scenes of growing unrest and Law Enforcement officials who have been accused by some of getting too heavy handed with protesters it on google it was among some a group of protesters hit by tear gas on sunday. I. Cant hear god. Theyre in. Pain i never equated to pain people listen. Im going to leave. Well dr says the police there have been trained to use military tactics. It seems as if the military has trained and are the police theres kind of this there isnt like a a line between the 2 there were tanks in tampa last nights. So you think of a Police Officer as somebody thats working for the Community Protecting and serving with the big time the teams are last night there were tanks out in full force in in tampa and in miami. So that thats quite scary to see here in america when people start marching and taking over the streets which is very liberating and very empowering to take the streets and take a stand i make can get very chaotic and you can cause traffic and you can cause people to get angry and and thats when it gets very chaotic and thats when theres a couple people in the crowd that want to be an instigator and what i witnessed yesterday in Tampa Florida was and as ive witnessed at protests across the country. Its always a few people who want to kind of cause a little chaos and and then it kind of escalates. Going on the ground with Afshin Rattansi coming away in just a few moments time were back at the top of the hour with the latest news up but. The end of. The world is driven by shaped by phone personally those words those are. The dares thinks. We dare to ask.
