A full report from the ground next then hong kong passes a controversial law making it a crime to insult chinas National Anthem meanwhile thousands defy the ban to hold a vigil in Tiananmen Square all right its time to boost your news i. As protests against Police Brutality continue across the United States lines of armed guards have formed as a barrier around the property surrounding the white house here in washington d. C. But who are these guards and what agency are they actually from arties Rachel Blevins is joining us now live from outside of the white house with the latest on this so rachel what can you tell us who are these people. Woman i know we actually have an update for you because while we saw those armed guards that were surrounding this area around actually out right now they seem to. All but disappeared this morning so today we are much much closer to the white house than we were able to get yesterday and right now as you can see behind me there is a crowd of protesters and then behind them there is still that very large barrier that was put up around Lafayette Park and this area was completely off limits when we were here yesterday and it was surrounded by these armed guards and were number of questions about exactly who those guards were what agency they were representing because many of them looked like they were ready to be deployed to a worse but yet they had no insignia they had no badges telling how they work and when protesters and journalists questioned them which agency they were when they responded by saying that they work for the federal government or that they work for the department of justice now were not seeing those guards here right now outside of the white house but the fact remains that there are a lot of questions about exactly who they were with and why they were allowed in this area now weve seen my maker speaking out against us and so i say so what are your lawmakers calling for changes to be made that democratic representative john boehner said quote it is unacceptable for uniform federal officers policing constitutionally protected assemblies to refuse to identify themselves to people who pay their salaries denying accountability to the public they serve ensures abuses democratic senator chris murphy also took to twitter saying quote we cannot tolerate an American Secret Police i will be introducing legislation to require uniform federal officers performing any domestic security duties to clearly identify what Military Branch or agency they represent the latest reports claim the armed guards at work here and do you see were part of a specialized Emergency Response force run by the bureau of prisons which is part of the Justice Department to help maintain security at the still it is now the director of the bureau of prisons i actually spoke about that during a press conference earlier today take a listen to what he had to say. Crisis management teams are highly trained to deal with various types of the murders the situations the crowd control and civil disturbances. Theyre experienced in confrontation avoid conflict resolution in the aftermath of the tragic death of georgia it is unfortunate that these services are necessary. Now during that press conference attorney general william barr also said that there have been more than 50 arrests in relation to rioting and the federal fish also spoke were very focused on the violence that we saw this weekend against property here in the Nations Capital but at the same time its also important to note that were out here for yet another day and yet the protests we have seen have been overwhelmingly peaceful the people who are gathered here have spent time sharing their stories of their experiences with Police Brutality and they have been very encouraging to one another so we really havent seen those violent scenes that were seeing over the weekend but it is interesting to see how the trend administration has responded to that and the fact that they have seemed to take very little response to all of the peacefulness that we have seen here and their focus here is to be on that violence and how they are responding to that now this obviously is a developing situation so we will continue to bring you the latest coverage but as for now it doesnt look like these protesters are going anywhere anytime soon reporting from outside the white house rachel bobbins art scene. And a massive Memorial Service is being held right now in minneapolis minnesota for george floyd this as america and the entire world continues to mourn the man whose death sparked a Global Movement for change in Race Relations and Police Tactics actually bankss there in minneapolis with a closer look at todays memorial actually. Thats right monella i am in front of North Central university located in Downtown Minneapolis where Memorial Service for george floyd is under way and now reverend al sharpton will soon be delivering the eulogy the civil rights leader he spoke to the president earlier today and he said as a community we need to stop jumping from funeral to funeral for those who are not aware and we deliver. Eulogies for both Michael Michael browns funeral and eric garner is for the funeral and for those who are familiar with their garner he is someone who died in a similar fashion to george what al sharpton is basically saying enough is enough we need to stop this he simply called George Floyds death a murder he said he believes this time is different a pointing to the fact that people are marching and massive numbers crowds are so diverse and people are risking their lives in the middle of a pandemic he said this shows that theres a real passion and that there will be change within Police Departments across the country the reverend sharpton he added that Minnesota Attorney general Keith Ellison is a part he played a major role and bringing criminal charges against the 3 remaining officers now i know we saw yesterday that the charges include aiding and abetting a 2nd degree murder which is punishable to up to 40 years and aiding and abetting 2nd degree manslaughter which is punishable to up to 10 years and also former officer Derek Chauvin 3rd degree murder charge was elevate it to the 2nd degree number demand from the lead attorney for the ford family say that these 3 officers were accomplices that. He tweeted the familys reaction yesterday saying that this is a bittersweet moment were deeply gratified that the attorney general took Decisive Action arresting and charging all the officers involved in George Floyds death and ill bring the charge against their children to felony 2nd degree murder hash tag Justice George from also said this is not a time to celebrate because an arrest is not a conviction and we want justice now ive been here for almost a week and ive spoken with caution of protesters of all backgrounds and resist and some of them tell me that they are willing to risk it all in the name of justice and change and clothing risking their lives protesters say they will continue until justice is served i want to mention we have seen it time and time again of our Police Officers who have killed unarmed africanamericans that oftentimes use Excessive Force are usually not true. And if they are theyre just not convicted so the people in minneapolis are still waiting to see how this all plays out and i also want to mention the attorney general he stated that hes and im asking for the publics patience in all of this he said that its going to be really hard and challenging to convict the whole 4 officers vacuum in illinois washington d. C. Right now actually being there in minneapolis thank you all right from the protests to protests on the other side of the globe despite social distancing measures still in place because of coke at 19 thousands of people in hong kong gathered to remember the Tiananmen Square crackdown 31 years ago today so for more on that lets go to our to hear from zack whos sitting live with me so far in this anniversary right now happening in the middle of a very controversial bill taking place in hong kong right so that bill now actually makes it illegal to insult the chinese National Anthem in china a move that the majority says is necessary for hong kong citizens to show their respect to china now just before that vote passed you had some lawmakers actually protesting even boycotting the vote arguing that the bill is an infringement of freedom of expression and this protester you see there another one that was holding up a sign that reads a murderous regime stinks for 10000 years to other lawmakers actually were even objected from those chambers for the vote was held on the 31st anniversary as you mentioned the Tiananmen Square protests in 1909 where thousands of students were actually killed as tanks and troops assaulted the center of beijing to break up weeks of student led protests now again many saying this new law will infringe on freedom of speech in Mainland China but they say it will do nothing of the sort. As little disturbances that occurred in the late 1990 s. Government has had a. Great but she was that weve achieved over the past 7 decades. Going to china has only demonstrated that the development of china has chosen is completely in the right which should be one of the chinas National Legislature and as one. Of the chinese people. Now manila if you are caught disrespecting the chinese National Anthem youre actually looking at almost 6500. 00 u. S. Dollars fine for that and you also are looking at facing up to 3 years in prison now that its harsh punishment. This bill is coming just a week after another controversial bill what was that one all about right so chinas National Legislature formally approved a decision actually last week of a National Security law for hong kong that could potentially see Mainland China security agents posted up in the city now this law came into play after the long running protest movements in the summer of 21000 that actually led to violent clashes with police well now the u. K. Is actually a proposal to take it up to 3000000 hong kong residents because of this new security law to which china threatened retaliation against the u. K. If they did go through with that manila ok so we know that Mainland China doesnt observe the anniversary of Tiananmen Square for obvious reasons but vigils in hong kong theres usually hundreds of the small ones large ones but im hearing those were canceled right and its all again because we still are in the go over 19 pandemic but that actually didnt stop residents though especially students like the one youll see here from attending i think its the response that. Is. Really going on. Today they dont even know if we can still see. The middle of this was the 1st time in 30 years that the massive vigil was canceled but its a bit odd with all the protests going on here in the United States 31 years later in the wake of americans out you know practicing their own democracy by freedom of assembly the irony of all of this is you see those tanks that were destroyed through chatham and sky. Or 31 years ago but were seeing u. S. Military trucks rolling through the streets of washington d. C. So little ironic definitely a sad irony. Thank you for that update.
