The Worlds Largest refugee camp in bangladesh and we look at how the coronavirus following on from years of drought is crippling profits from a vital cash crop in zimbabwe. Hello thank you for joining us the family of george florida who was killed when a Police Officer kneeled on his neck for nearly 9 minutes has just spoken of their grief john hendren is in st paul the capital of Minnesota State john youre in simple the family were speaking from minneapolis which of course is where george floyd was killed a very emotive speech from him i dont know how much you could hear of it but how important is it to see the family man the side of george forward considering everything thats going on in the u. S. Right now. I think its been really important to help humanize him see this in other cases in the rodney king case in l. A. And others where these these people have been dehumanized by being accused of a crime by being known in video only for being the body beneath Police Officers and this is really an effort to say this is a family man he was driving a truck he loved his daughter he came to minneapolis for work that you know he was a man who believed in peace that he would not want the kind of violence weve seen in these protests all of this sort of put a human face on who george floyd is its the kind of thing you see in court when a lawyer is trying to humanize someone whos been charged or something to try to explain you know who they are and why they ended up in that terrible place and thats what his family is doing right now and i think theyve done a pretty effective job of painting a picture of a man who really was not out to harm anybody he wasnt trying to do anything wrong and just ended up on the wrong side of police on a bad day and things just went horribly horribly wrong. For me of. Justice. Very upsetting testimony there of course from the mother of George Floyds daughter and she ends by mentioning justice for his killing so were where are we at now john when it comes to getting justice for george floyd. Weve heard this again and again from the family Terence Floyd has said this and then now you have the mother of George Floyds daughter saying the same thing with a want is is for the officers involved and not just the one who has already been charged eric chauvin whos been charged with manslaughter and 3rd degree murder they want all 4 of the officers who were involved to be charged with serious charges there was an autopsy that the family commissioned that concluded that 3 of those officers directly contributed to George Floyds it as fixation which led to his death 3 of them knelt on his back one of them Derek Chauvin the one who knelt on George Floyds neck he is the one already facing charges but the rest of them are not and thats what a lot of people in the street are looking for they want to see charges against those officers but there is a sense that there is a more systematic problem with the Minneapolis Police the theyve got 40 percent of a minority population in that city and yet when it comes to Excessive Force cases by police they are 67 percent of those involved minorities about 65. 00 im sorry its Something Like 65 percent of them involve minorities and that the governor has decided that simply too much and he has launched an a human rights investigation into the Minneapolis Police department and while that investigation is going on he also wants them to cooperate with immediate changes systematic changes to try to make that a more racially safe Police Department but essentially what people are looking for is justice in this case and then systematic change that there can be justice in the future. John hendren with the latest from same call and thank you. Well the family of george floyd has accepted an offer from former boxer Floyd Mayweather to pay for his funeral mayweather will handle the costs of the service on june 9th and floyds hometown of houston it will also pay for memorials in minnesota and north carolina. Well tuesdays protests in washington d. C. Of course followed the use of tear gas by authorities to clear the area on monday allowing donald trump to visit a local church for a photo opportunity us them across a president ial candidate joe biden has slammed Donald Trumps response to nationwide protests over racism and Police Brutality accusing the president of fanning the flames of hate by then also criticize trumps visit the same Jones Episcopal Church when Peaceful Protesters. Disturbed in order for a president. The pressure from the doorstep of the peoples house the white house using tear gas d and flash grenades learned to stage a photo all of federal one of the most Historic Churches in the country or at least in washington d. C. We could be forgiven for believing the president s words this is a power that in principle. Were just serving the passion it was based on. The people is clear well and the visit to our religious shrine on tuesday by the president excuse me also drew criticism trump and the 1st lady visited a shrine in the capital honoring the late Roman CatholicPope John Paul the 2nd the catholic archbishop of washington d. C. Criticize the move saying its reprehensible that places of worship would allow themselves to be misused in such a way. Meanwhile an Australian News crew are the latest members of the media to be attacked by police during the us protests against racism and Police Brutality. That would. Think oh oh. Fairly in Prime MinisterScott Morrison is asked for an investigation after a cameraman was punched by an officer during a live broadcast Police Across the United States have been criticized for pepper spraying attacking and the arresting accredited members of the press. While its just after 6 pm in washington d. C. That means theres less than an hour before the curfew in the u. S. Capitol comes into effect this is the scene now take a look as crowds have been building in the area around the white house and the capitol precinct for some hours and yet the protests have been without incident their share of protests and seeing who joins us now. Ship everyone is quite people are just as standing up now tell us whats going on. Its amazing because hes on finals and thousands of appearance on the streets of washington today to commemorate and protest following the death of the murder of george floyd its fascinating as you say where i am from the kathy are those so many more people here today than there were yesterday thousands as i said im just here we keep seeing other groups of protesters who stayed here for a little while but never go off marching we think we saw thousands of them who want towards the capitol we know there are other protests up in wisconsin i would you like 3 miles away up in bethesda which is sort of you know the really kind of the very affluent area on the outskirts of washington with the several protests going on around d. C. Thousands of files the thousands are fleeing if they if they remove yesterdays show of force trying to storage for temporary just well as the entirely predictable would have to have the opposite effect because one sounds not just for thousands of people but come out and show their solidarity and show you the idea but to stay be a few thoughts were explicitly said only on the clues on twitter and social media come out where a mosque stay off the curfew. What could only imagine what they might be planning if they got to clear the streets around this time for the curfew this would be college because we now have. 8 foot fence which is which is not sprung up between us and the police the weird thing about that is everything feels a lot calmer and safe and ive everything we think its as if theyre that the police are kind of in that cage little bit yesterday this time it was rather terrifying because the police line was just that and this is they really as a rule is that this strategy was clearly they were open to it ive seen it so many demonstrations now i just lay in wait they just stay there probably calm without water you know suddenly move forward for a few flashbacks pepper spray a few people and im to back it off a little while just keeping everyone no edge it was a cave stop it over that but its its its a get out that fence because a real focal point clearly with a lot of value of the fence a lot of shaking of the fence and you do wonder what would happen if that fence went down but just the just the concept of a curfew and circumstances like this when you have. Multiple multiple thousands of people the streets right now in washington d. C. I just dont you just wonder whats going to happen in the coming hours if they all determined to have another show forces they did yesterday at the urging of President Trump who is now in control we have federal authority federal control now off the National Guard we already know that federal authorities are reached out to see whether they can take over washington the Washington Police force and the mares unhappy about that and i said that they will go to the courts of this any attempt at this but even their insurrection act has not been in the books we have we have u. S. Military units National Guard overseas the d. C. National guard troops are also units of the military that weve seen anyway basically deployed around washington d. C. We understand. We set the scene to hardware around d. C. Repoint donald trump all this is going to stray should who now have control apparently even without invoking the insurrection act the site of a deed to be used if the thousands of thousands on the streets right now despite. Despite the curfew. Its a rather interesting situation as you can imagine well the curfew should start in about 45 minutes from now although in the past few days police started moving in before the actual curfew so we will be crossing live to you again soon and she have just to see what is going on youll be monitoring developments for us until then she had returned seat in washington d. C. For the moment thank you. And now lets go to new york and gabrielle joins us now from new york city with a curfew has been brought forward for me 11 pm local to 8 pm so what reaction has there been that there in new york to that bringing forth of the curfew. Will show you what the reaction has been right now we are in the middle of a huge protest right now in bryant park in the heart of midtown manhattan i think its going to pivot around a kind of show you just a little bit of to crowd just a huge huge crowd of people here all calling for justice a calling for an end to Police Brutality and primarily calling for justice for george ploy this has been a more steady stream. This is normally just. Have pork and they are going to be. Demonstrating through the streets here of manhattan i want to bring in one of my guests here one of our new this is a grown chorus how are you today thank you for joining us why are you here today here in light of the recent racist events happening in our country i think its time for us as a community to take a stand when you see this here right now these huge number of people it makes me proud to know that our citizens are having their voices heard its time to stand up for whats right what do you want out there. I want justice but i also want peace and i want this. So magically people to realize that black lives matter i mean this is not something new i think its something thats been vacuumed my eyes because of technology and now i think the pot has over boiled is this just about your war of words if we come about more than that its its about george sly but its also more than that its about racism thats been going on for hundreds of years in our country. Were in the middle of a pandemic and you know. How do you feel about that coming up the phone kind of going after students and kind of going to the front of fire here i think its important that we all remember that there are people out there who are putting themselves on the front lines my mother was a nurse and i have friends and family who are doctors or hospitals but its also important simultaneously to you remember that we have to fight for justice so both are very important issues for just a quick last question there has been some to have somebody from hoboken for whom the governor is talking about maybe preparing the National Guard to the streets from france called for that what do you say about this what are your thoughts on some of these difficult things that weve seen i know different people react differently to whats been going on in our country and youre going to do what you know do necessary but i think i think its important for us to maintain the peace and i am not a fan of the looting and rioting because that can ruin lives im a Business Owner myself but youre going to protest in the way that you deem necessary and im here for peace so peace and justice hearing last quick thought from you people around the world are watching this and one or 2 sentences what is your message to people right now watching whats happening here right the message to people around the world is that racism is unacceptable whether here in the United States or throughout the throughout the world thank you very much thank you and a good luck that that was wrong or one of the thousands of people out here to. Part in these protests the curfew kicks in here in new york city in about 2 hours or so but as you can see from these images images do not lie and this is an absolutely huge protest calling for justice. For. Handling its own that was the main suspect in that case the new york 16 thank you. Lets go to the side of the country now the west coast a curfew remains in place in los angeles which has seen some of the biggest unrest and looting lets go live now to brian also los angeles a seen its share of violence what is it looking like now. Well its gotten much more tense here in just the last 30 minutes or so there. Were marchers going up and down hollywood boulevard here several 1000 of them the police then arrived set up a kind of skirmish line and began firing these these phone projectiles out from there there are. Weapons and now weve got a situation where there are demonstrators on all sides of this intersection and police are forming a line here to keep the demonstrators in place. I did not see any aggression by any of the demonstrators towards the police or any of the attacks on them and the objects thrown at them but i cant be sure that there wasnt anything like that but i witnesses told me there was a Police Helicopters overhead. Its of the chaotic scene here and you can see here the demonstrators are just facing off with this line of the los angeles Police Officers. And there are several 1000 people over there this is quite a a well known intersection hollywood and vine its kind of synonymous with show business now its becoming more identified with the chaos and intention the protesters of course are denouncing Police Brutality the death of george boyd and the others in the answer. Its involving the police there are also many of them carrying signs saying the phone the police a large share of the budget of the city of los angeles goes to wards the Police Department soldiers are kind of growing Movement Among the protesters who say let us. Start funding social programs instead of all of those. Police activities so. Its thats about the situation here barbara again as you mentioned right there is you are you know or im busy right now right no Media Network you work because weve been seeing a lot of strange stuff on the media stuff like.
