calls for a blackout to honor george ford. Have another breaking news story were following for you as well irans foreign minister says the iranian scientist and prison in the u. S. Is now back on his way home serves us kaare had been pleading for weeks to be released from an
Immigration Center
after contracting kovan 1000. 00 he was in custody since 2017 while on trial for charges of fraud in selling state secrets skaro was acquitted last month but was transferred into immigration custody over an expired visa so would the parent way he is now on his way back home. An unprecedented night in the
United States
the protests continued for a 7th day over the killing of george floyd in
Police Custody
and he died after being pinned down by a white
Police Officer
for almost 9 minutes an official autopsy has now concluded his death was homicide involving neck compression and that bears out the findings of an independent autopsy which the family had done this autopsy also found that floyd died from this fixation there were chaotic scenes outside the
White House Police
cleared a peaceful protest these are peaceful protests are using tear gas and stun grenades. And they will become clear in a moment why they while they did that so the president was speaking at the the rose garden at the white house he threatened to deploy the military nationwide unless state governors got the sometimes violent demonstrations under control he said it was his duty to uphold law and order we cannot allow the righteous cries of
Peaceful Protesters
to be drowned out by an angry mob the biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities and as their president i will fight to keep them safe i will fight to protect you i am youre president of law and order and an ally of all
Peaceful Protesters
but in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer and others. So while the president called himself an ally of
Peaceful Protesters
Peaceful Protesters
were gassed to make way for him to do this to do this to leave the white house after that speech to walk across the street to this church that had been damaged he did not speak anything he simply held up a bible for a photo op and front of that church so while calling himself an ally of
Peaceful Protesters
they were forcibly removed for him to do that so this church that truck visited as part of the
Episcopal Diocese
of washington the bishop of that diocese told the
Washington Post
she felt outraged by the visit reverend marian edgar buday said i was not given even a
Courtesy Call
that would be clearing the area with tear gas so that they could use one of our churches as a prop everything he has said and done being trump is it to inflame violence we need moral leadership placed on everything to divide us and has just use one of the most sacred some bowls a d. J. You christian tradition share batons hes been out among the protests in washington d. C. Where theres a curfew now in place he sent this report were about 3 blocks from the white house the police have managed to disperse most of the protesters there are gathering to protest is now just behind us. Who sing some
Police Activity
moving in that direction. The core group of protesters however remains behind us kept a limb by limb by the police so the police are very careful to escort the media out of the group home it kept a cool group of protesters. Surrounded by the police and we assume that they will be they will be detained shortly but we just have a standoff effectively as weve seen so often in these evenings of protests or joined by one protester or what your eyes are on a. Another. For protests do you think the message is getting through. I think today when i deescalate situation the police i think that showed that at least some of them are listening yes we want to say all we want them all to listen we want them all to be involved in our progress but if they dont want to speak up if they want to comply with
Police Brutality
thats on them but those
Police Officer
s were peaceful and that listened and that decided to compromise with us and this have us move backwards peacefully those are the kind of
Police Officer
s we need everywhere because if not were going to keep having this problem were going to keep having to do these marches were going to keep having to chant we have to keep having to do all of this and were tired out of the protests carry on into our oldest look like what we were people stop protesting. Change looks like the police
Getting Better
Mental Health
care change the psych police being vetted more for further change actually looks like making sure that these men and women are ready to police the communities that theyre in thats what change looks like change aside prosecuting every single
Police Officer
with an unjustified
Police Shooting
and not swim under the rug that is what change looks like we need to diversify the police force and the more people of more colors more genders more sexual orientations on these
Police Forces
or were going to keep running the same problems the bigotry in their oppression will keep going on if they do not have more diversity within their
Police Forces
they need
Racial Sensitivity Training
theres just so many different ways that this situation could be resolved that the president and the d. O. J. Have refused to do. The
American Civil Liberties
union has responded to president trumps approach to the demonstrations saying this deploy more federal troops to surprise dissent would be irresponsible and dangerous the level headed governor is asking for an even more militarized response to civilian protests against
Police Brutality
and systemic racism for good reason as president must not cause the country and its people even more harm and they perceptive democratic president ial nominee joe biden also responded to trumps actions saying this hes using the
American Military
against the
American People
he tear gas
Peaceful Protesters
and fired rubber bullets for a photo for our children for the very soul of our country we must defeat him but i mean it when i say this we can only do it together as a clementes the
Community Organizer
and black right black lives matter protester she said racism against africanamericans is rife among both democratic and
Republican Leaders
including the u. S. President. Hes a mental maniac
White Supremacists
a so nothing he says surprises me i think what we have to focus on right now is that hes actually invoked the insurrection act which the last time it was used in this country was an 1807. 00 that gives him the right to deploy the
United States
military to any and every part of the
United States
of america we understand republicans on
White Supremacists
but we also have enemies that are
Democratic Party
people and leaders including the governor of new york andrew cuomo in the mayor de blasio of new york city they have in polls a new york state wide curfew to blast seals daughter who was africanamerican was arrested yesterday but he has chosen to put 4000 more
Police Officer
s out there so we have to be very clear that were getting hit on both sides of both
Political Parties
and that last you know is a reason why this is happening all over the country under his tenure now one
Police Officer
has been indicted or removed for any
Excessive Force
or murder and
Governor Cuomo
has never chosen to speak out against one
Police Officer
a black
Business Owner
has been shot and killed by police in kentucky and the early hours of monday morning david mack a tape was shot when officers moved in to
Disperse Protesters
during a curfew in louisville the way say they were fired at 1st the chief has now been fired and 2 officers put on administrative leave with folks right now giving voice to not trusting
Law Enforcement
one of the most important things we can do to build that trust is to make sure that we are fully transparent right now about and if it bears out. That actions were taken wrongly i guarantee you will act. And luck strongly protests have again continued into the night in kentucky with
Police Called
in to break up crowds the officers were armed with the taunts and fired tear gas as they advance through the center of global. So many outlets people have been holding a vigil at the site where george floyd died as we mentioned he was pinned down for almost 9 minutes by a
Police Officer
as a brother is called for people to stop bleeding and encourage them to channel their frustration into political action. Where i dont find out. Probably. The problem or hear from him after. 10 hours of. You know. The trauma. Cant even turn. Pro no no no no. Not mark i want to be dont want to. I dont know if an apartment i want to work. John hendren is in minneapolis where a curfew is in place. Were now well into that period where police have marched in the past but right now what you see is a peaceful scene this is the george floyd memorial right there you can see that mirror mirror which was just painted in the week since he was killed on that corner over there and his brother terence was here earlier today urging people not to commit violent acts not to loot not to set fires and you can see that in this space that is not whats going on its a peaceful protest yes theyre violating curfew but theyre doing it out of civil disobedience to make the point that they want to see all 4 of the officers who were involved in arresting mr floyd they want to see them all prosecuted and in the autopsy the private autopsy that came out today which slightly contradicted the public the one from the
Hennepin County
coroner that one said that he died of a heart attack and that that the police were a contributing factor of it or also said that he had
Underlying Health
conditions and the art the one that came out today was much stronger it said he died directly as a result of the force placed upon his breathing tube by the 3
Police Officer
s and not just the one who had his knee on the neck you know the other 2 who were sitting on his back also show the air out of him by collapsing his lungs that report said in that report concluded that it was a homicide so thats one of the reasons people are out here today
Terence Floyd
the brother of george floyd said he wanted people to be peaceful but he said he also wanted them to protest and thats what theyre doing right out here right now. Ok lets go to the west coast now there have been protests throughout the day in the city of los angeles since just after about a quarter past 10 in the evening there are rob reynolds has been following this throughout the day so as seems to have been the pattern and an overwhelming peaceful protest throughout the day then as things turned night. And a curfew cause it kind of gets a bit dicey so whats happening now rob well were standing in a rather famous opera shelfs the corner of hollywood and vine and 10 oclock on a normal night this would be packed with people but as you can see its nothing but empty streets
Police Officer
s here
Police Officer
s there and. It is really almost eerily quiet except for the sirens there were a number of peaceful protests today we attended one in
West Los Angeles
people were passionate in their chanting in their discussion of the need for an end to
Police Violence
and systemic racism their outrage over the death of george floyd but it was entirely peaceful there was an incident where a few protesters went up and blocked freeway. Lanes some lanes of a freeway briefly but the police had them leave and that was done nonviolently. Here in hollywood deceiving there were some incidents there was. Ransacking and police even had some high speed chases with people in cars and we just saw a choo cars get pulled over one small sort of compact car pulled past here with police demanding that it pull over and then a lot of
Police Officer
s got out of their vehicles pointing guns at the. The sole driver in that car he was then arrested and taken away same with a truck over there just a few minutes ago so it looks like theres not only the overwhelmingly peaceful nature earlier but in the night time an overwhelming
Police Presence
and there are police from not just the city of los angeles but sheriffs deputies from
Santa Barbara
and other counties further away of
Course National
guardsmen sheriffs deputies so the police have clamped really tight lid on this area now and it is much quieter i believe by all accounts that ive been able to monitor than it has been since. Earlier last week friday saturday sunday those were those were violent nights this one is that much less so but again we do expect there will be more protests when there will be more peacefully organized protests and we we noticed also one thing today that was interesting in so far as some of the previously scheduled protests were actually canceled by the organizers clergymen and others who said well we dont want to have a protest that could devolve into a violent scene so so theres a lot of nuance going on here that is maybe not captured completely by you know the pictures of people running from police and and so forth and so on robin also the wrap up there is that its nightfall at los angeles california. Thank you a car has been driven at high speed towards a group of
Police Officer
s and buffalo new york and a video posted online the officers scatter as the car speeds toward them gunshots can also be heard some of the officers have been taken to the hospital their condition is described as stable a local politician tweeted that the driver and passengers of the vehicle are believed to be in custody. Well protests have been held in new york city with some it turning violent many shop windows were smashed and later it police moved in to make arrests a curfew was imposed at 11 pm and an even stricter 8 pm go home order will be in place on tuesday gabrielle is on to us more from the protest and brooklyn new york. This is the scene after night has fallen here in brooklyn were outside of the
Barclays Center
which is a basketball arena and this has been a flashpoint for some of the protest over the last few nights here in new york right now this is a very peaceful protest by candlelight vigil and mostly young people that have all gathered here right before the curfew is about to go into place and they are supporting each other theyre calling for justice theyre holding up signs listening to somebody speak and this is a very peaceful but you have powerful message that theyre trying to send a message that they want justice that were doing this because not only are we not christ physically we are oppressed and we are presently people
Police Officer
s are present their minds are poisoned to believe that they have heard this and they see. This system oppresses all of us black white brown and everything in between we are here to free the minds of everyone so that they understand him in liberated enough to take us being for themselves so that we can all live a life thats free. There have certainly been images of rioting and looting in new york city but its also important to see the vast majority of the protests have been exactly like this peaceful young people mostly coming together to protest for their rights and a protest for justice and and really youre getting a sense of a sense of outrage and many telling us that they will stay on the streets as long as it takes. We also have an eye to breaking news im on another story were following an iranian scientist imprisoned in the u. S. Is on his way back home samus ravi joins us live now with more on that from the phone on the phone rather from tehrans hussain what do you know about this. Well richelle we know that this morning the foreign minister divides the reef sent out a message on his

Instagram Account<\/a> saying hello friends good news a plane carrying dr seuss us carry food from the
United States<\/a> and he sent a congratulations to mr us to his wife and family now serves us curry. Was on trial in a federal court in ohio his trial starting 2018 he was acquitted last month of charges of wire fraud visa fraud and as well as stealing trade secrets mr eisner was a materials scientist professor he had the position at
Sharif University<\/a> here in iran and as many things happened in with between the
United States<\/a> and iran has become a bit of a playing card in a broader political game from the
United States<\/a> there were frustrations from officials there about iran arranging or making the arrangements for the return of a scary as well as other iranian citizens to the
United States<\/a> that they wanted to return in iran has been criticizing officials over and over again over the last few weeks and months of been criticizing the
United States<\/a> for not making a speedy return of its citizens this is least 20 or so iranians thought to be held in the
United States<\/a> mr us carries one of them there are 5 americans being held in iranian custody one of the most high profile of them is a navy veteran named mark white who was arrested last year for visiting mush he was reported to have been visiting a woman with whom he was in a romantic relationship and was arrested and detained hes currently in swiss custody he was released for the sake of trying to protect him from the spread of covert 19 in the prison system now theres been a lot of speculation as to whether or not any of the prisoners being held in iran will be released as mr us korea is on a plane making his way home but the fact of the matter is that many people are also saying that mr us cruise releases is basically a function of the
Us Court System<\/a> not necessarily. Something that would lead to any kind of prisoner swap but nonetheless the respect relation here that this could result in some kind of exchange of citizens and the iranian government here will no doubt be using mr oscars return as an opportunity to gain some positive ok as i miss robbie with the latest there from tehran thank you. Social media has captured thousands of encounters between a protesters looters and police some feature white demonstrators committing violence and vandalism law ignoring pleas from the black protesters to stop other show white people offering their support i did a castro has more was a black woman tries to cry stop to a group of white leaders an oakland but the chaos drowns her out good man a black woman who put in black lantern to nonblack protesters vandalize a cafe but the africanamericans whose lives are actually on the line fear theyll pay a little bit down down dont break them oh you know what i dont mind that people couldnt and black people didnt do it and in denver. Broncos reported that black activist and
School Board Director<\/a> teo anderson intervened when he saw a white man defacing public property i do get very frustrated and. People of color are destroyed during a day or a day and we end up getting the blame for it but you didnt ask for the. Right one the daytime protests organized by black civil
Rights Groups<\/a> have been largely peaceful across the u. S. But the nighttime rioting has involved people of all races the over the nonblacks are allies and marcus or even
White Supremacists<\/a> as some have accused is unclear. And we do not to write our arms our own stories and part of that is yet letting us you know boys. Were grateful for what the divisions here are not simple protesters of various races in washington d. C. Attacked a white man after he destroyed a sidewalk then they turned him into police. And a young white woman jumped in front of a young black man near the white house blocking him from advancing police the widely shared clip showed a moment of racial solidarity even as many black americans insist they write this chapter of their own history. Castro aljazeera washington so another race and to the incident sparked a lot of controversy just last week when it was posted on social media went viral lets remind you a woman in new yorks central park called the police saying a black man was threatening her or she could her filmy exchange after he asked her just to follow the rules to put a leash on her dog the woman amy cooper was later fired from her job.
