Others lined up to challenge police who answered with tear gas that failed to control the unrest these National Guard troops have been blocking roads d and theyve been protecting firefighters or theyve been putting out the many fires you can see one of them back there but the governor says theyre hungry havent been enough of them and thats why hes sending in more a 1000 more to join the 500 already in minneapolis in nearby st paul this is the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota History that we have out there today and quite candidly right now we do not have the numbers we cannot arrest people when were trying to hold ground because of the sheer size the dynamics and the one violence thats coming out there but as you see theres already shots being fired back at our people.

Well this is clearly a moment in American History where what youre seeing is these mass protests about half of american states there were protests last evening and the raids that youre seeing the violence the fires the clashes and injuries between Police Officers and protesters are part of a broader frustration of lack of accountability according to many activists over. Specifically men of color who die at the hands of the police but again larger issues here of systemic racism disenfranchisement excedrin in many minnesota as you saw last night a curfew implemented at 8 pm and was supposed to stay in effect until 6 am did nothing to quell the violence the governor there said there was absolute chaos in minneapolis and the governor is also admitting that mistakes were made but he says there were simply too many people but more National Guard troops will be called to the state he is also saying that hes not ruling out the possibility that the u. S. Military will be tapped for the 1st time since the 1960 s. You have soldiers at 2 of our bases one in new york and one in North Carolina who have been told to deploy within 4 hours if called also for the 1st time since the l. A. Riots in 1992. You have again a situation where states are now in a position where the violence there is so out of control the police unable to contain it that theyre now going to be looking to the federal government today the department of Public Safety in minnesota is saying they are expecting a quote and International Events theyre expecting the largest crowds this state has ever seen and many people had hoped that with the arrest of former Police Officer derrick shah then that this would quote the anger and at least tamp down the 4 days of violent protests but the floyd family and other activists are saying that there were 4 officers total on the scene where george floyd died and that those other 3 officers need to be charged the white family is saying that they want them to be arrested clearly this is an investigation that is ongoing but i think again judging from the concern about the floyd family and other activists who believe and worry that the other officers involved that night will not be held accountable theres no sign that the protests are going to update the software thanks very much donald trump president of the u. S. Is cutting all ties with the World Health Organization accusing it of being overly influenced by the president also confirmed an end to washingtons special treatment of home call to china approved a new security law for the territory is alan fischer. Unusually for a News Conference at the white house president only trump opted to use a teleprompter and stuck to the script but in the week where the number of 1000 deaths in the u. S. Went through the 100000 mark the president used the occasion to cut ties with the World Health Organization and returned to calling it the ruhani virus china has total control over the World Health Organization we have detailed the reforms that it must make and engage with them directly but they have refused to act. The president has been angry about chinas trade practices since before he took office the protests this week in hong kong beatings decision to extend security powers there has added to that anger hong kong has had a special relationship with the u. S. The president wants to punish china and says Hong Kong Special status is no more my announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with hong kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions we will be revising the state departments travel advisory for hong kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the Chinese StateSecurity Apparatus president also announced he was imposing sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials but i think this is the the amount of actions that he and house as well as the severity of actions that he did announce depending on the implementation of these actions this is probably the Nuclear Option that this initiation of do you think china will react and respond i think china has to respond in this case there are so many actions that the trump initiation and dance today that if they dont respond then domestically the leadership risks looking weak to their domestic audience President Trump gave a long list of grievances about chinas economic actions theres nothing new there hes done it before what was interesting in his 10 minutes in front of the cameras he made no mention of chinese president xi a man he regards a strong a man hes praised in the past even for his handling of the coronavirus brick alan fischer aljazeera at the Chinese Embassy in washington. Difficult pollen as in hong kong she says Donald Trumps announcement on ending preferential treatment for the territory could be disastrous for its economy. Hong kong and mainland chinese Officials Say any u. S. Action will not derail their meant of the National Security law but the u. S. Says once the laws in place hong kong is no longer sufficiently autonomys from Mainland China which means they can take away the special status which includes policies on trade travel and extradition and analysts say it will be a huge blow to hong kong standing as an International Financial center we dont really know what the National Security law is going to say and how much will be left in hong kong we dont really know what President Trump is going to do you know is he going to be false agents or is it going to be limitations on the margin i think what we do know is that this is the end of an era where hong kong has really been seen as very much an independent global Financial Center and now its going to be an International Center part of china going to have its own seats on many of these International Organizations so it will lose its identity to set extent in the eyes of the world along with removing the per french of policies from hong kong the u. S. President says Chinese Companies operating in the United States could come under more scrutiny and there could be travel bans and sanctions against hong kong and chinese officials who are seen as a danger in the citys autonomy and this is where beijing could head back to protest measures raising the already high tensions between the worlds 2 biggest economies. We are getting reaction all the time to President Trumps World Health Organization announcement germany says it will cause unnecessary harm the health minister. Tweeting in german french and english but a disappointing backlash for International National health if that w. H. O. Shall make any difference for the future it needs reform and the e. U. Must take a leading role and engage more financially one of our priorities for our he you presidency. Jeremy youd hes a researcher. Global Health Politics the dean of the college of liberal arts at the university of minnesota he joins us on skype from deluce germany youd welcome to news here on aljazeera whats your reading of Donald Trumps timing here we are slap bang in the middle of such a damaging Global Pandemic after all. Right youve got the ongoing pandemic youve got to saying that they were going to cancel the trials hydroxy couric when trump has been advocating for in recent weeks and thats really just its not a surprise theyve made this move but it comes out of a timing that is just it couldnt be worse this is the time when we need more unity more than anything else could it be from his point of view the best time to do it however though because the symbolism is there for multiplied it is so very very strong i mean and is there a grain of truth in his attitude towards the World Health Organization this is an organization that doesnt see taiwan on the map literally because beijing has a problem with taiwan well if it gets to the issue with an organisation like the World Health Organization but any of these multilateral organizations its a creature of its Member States so its up to the Member States of the w. H. O. To make those reforms to the organisation that they want to see so in essence donald trump is losing that leverage that he might have to reform the World Health Organization or to make it better by withdrawing from the organisation he loses the ability to have an influence and if his complaint is that china has too much influence this just opens up a leadership vacuum within the World Health Organization that china could easily fell ok the germans are saying this causes unnecessary harm harm to whom. Well it causes harm to be International Cooperation collaboration thats necessary not just for dealing with the current code in 1000 pandemic but also to all the other sorts of programs that the World Health Organization organizes it also means that we have to try to scramble now to try to catch catch up with that funny id give the World Health Organization is still going to exist even if the United States is not a part of it but now its going to have to reorder reassess its priorities and look at its budget and look to see if other Member States and other organizations can help to fill some of those budgetary gaps ok the germans are also talking about zeroing in on reform of the World Health Organization if you had to reform one bits of it its a massive structure arguably is bloated with too many stuff who is the one thing whats the one thing you would do to make it cheaper more profitable and better at his job. The most important thing that the World Health Organization needs is it needs more control over its budget has a relatively small budget but it doesnt actually get to control most of that and so as a result its not really doing what it is best designed to do its doing what donors are prioritizing and so we could give the World Health Organization greater control over its budget it would have the top hour and if there were 30 to actually the sorts of the recommendations that its trying to share with its Member States i suppose the closest model weve got to where the w. H. O. Is maybe heading at the moment is the United Nations middle east agency you know it does a lot of work with the palestinians theres a lot of work out of israel with the palestinians. Lots of people are saying its bloated with pulling financing of it which they did lots of other people then came forward saying no actually well step up to the plate well give you more money didnt happen though did it. Right and this is you know we have seen the United States pull out of other multilateral organizations like you know and we have seen some element of those funds that are lost being replenished by other sources but not entirely you know and i think thats actually gets to some of the larger issues that that come up you know would present trumpets that weve detail all these reforms but we havent actually seen very detailed proposals coming from the United States about what they would like to see the World Health Organization doing and the idea that that would be able to be done in say 10 days is which is the time between when he sent that letter and when hes announced this withdrawal is just its far too too quick to make any sort of meaningful reform very briefly jeremy if you had to come up with an organization that does the job of the w. H. O. Would you come up with what we have at the moment or would it be radically different it would be quite different you know this is an organization that was created me at immediate aftermath of world war 2 and it reflects the world that exists that at that time this is not the exact same world so we need a w. H. O. But if we had to ref
