good afternoon. i am back. a little bit later on, i m gonna tell you why you have not seen me for a couple of weeks. we want to start this hour with calls for action. protests in memphis in around the country today. this comes after the release of the shocking video of the police beating that led to death of tyre nichols. we re gonna show you some videos with a warning. it is really disturbing. we are showing it not to sensationalize it, but because watching it is the only way to really understand the extreme nature of what happened. from the moment we see tyre nichols, the assault began. they use pepper spray and a taser on him. even before he ran. police caught up with him and beat him. watch this. give me your hands. watch out. give me your hands. hit him. watch out. give me your hands. [screaming] give us your hands! [screaming] in the end, nichols was left with just one simple plea as a grown man. that plea was for his mother. watch out, watch out. mom! m
a protester set to start hearing from the county administrate a building in just a couple of hours. that s around 3 pm local time. 4 pm eastern. it is heavy here in the city of memphis. four days leading up to the release of this video, i heard a lot of people talk about fear and violence. they are trying to admonish some of the people here. one of them against burning the city of memphis down. none of that rcep and here. people have been so focused on the support for tyre nichols and his family. as they protested last night, they were often incredibly quiet. some people decided to watch the video. others could not stomach it. they were really just there to grievance import each other. they come to terms with not just what this implies about these five officers, but potentially about this department. i want to bring in reverend jason turner. he has been providing counsel to the family.
though they would be damaging it may not be enough. before you think will see something next week, quickly? i think we may see some movement next week from russia i am really interested in seeing the movement from the united states and the diplomacy beginning to bear fruit. that is the movement i would like to see. all right the world awaits we will see what happens in the next 72 plus hours, thank you. arthel: meanwhile canadian are defending their crackdown on this capitol city of ottawa arresting people so far today. officers deployed tear gas and pepper spray earlier when police say a protester set off a flare. the trucker protest against canadians vaccine and masking mandates began weeks ago. matt fenn is an ottawa with the very latest. matt has it been three weeks
about the hypocrisy of the protester set. and what i ve been seeing is this permissive attitude toward looting and rioting and the attacks on police officers on the brooklyn bridge with no outrage, but i post a staged photograph take nen my home office with an unloaded firearm under controlled safe conditions and the outrage is just off the charts. i mean i become public enemy number one. vitriol is spewed at me. hatred threats. my e-mail s blowing up with death threats and threats of physical harm. and i just found it all very hypocritical. and i think i proved a little social experiment i set out to prove. you said you thought they should be charged with criminal trespass. i thought in certain cases if the restaurateurs felt they should they should. i think that no patrons were interviewed and clearly this could have risen to the level of harassment potentially misdemeanor harassment and i think an investigation is
tunisia? you might not care about what s happening in tunisia per se but you should care about the rest of the message to the region, many countries to which the united states has ties and are very important to the u.s. in terms of price of oil or the war against terrorism. reporter: robert malley of the international crisis group is talking about countries very close to tunisia that had had the same kinds of problems but where the stakes are much higher for america. tunisia s revolt started with younger citizens, fed up with high unemployment, rising costs of living and a corrupt federal government. similar problems are occurring in egypt, there, like in tunisia, a protester set himself on fire. and the same thing could happen in jordan, yemen, saudi arabia, the common factors in all these countries, they have all been ruled for a long time by single autocratic rulers. they are all key u.s. allies in the war on terror, an they have all been struggling to fight off some very danger
