Of the social media giant and his action. William la jeunesse in los angeles looks at the demonstrations in several cities around the country but we began with Senior Correspondent mike tobin in minneapolis tonight. Good evening. The streets from no police presence, mom ruling the street, the state troopers in riot gear. National guardsmen, rifles at the ready. Still you have an angry group of protesters despite the announcement of an arrest, with the common belief that if george flight was white, it wouldnt have taken four days. The Minneapolis Police officer seen around the world pressing his knee in the neck of george floyd is behind bars. Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin has been charged by the Hennepin County district attorneys office. He had remained free after he and three others. County attorney mike freeman said the arrest and third degree murder came faster than any of the case involving a Police Officer. Floyds family said we expected a firstdegree murder charge. We want a firstdegree murder charge and we want to see the other officers arrested. I anticipate charges. Evidence includes a cell phone video, officer body cam video, witness statements on a preliminary medical examiner report. Rioting, looting, and arson. Officers at the third precinct abandon it and rioters broken the building and laid it on fire and burned it to the ground. Its an abject failure that cannot happen. We must restore that order to that. Just after midnight Governor Tim Walz took the situation out of local hands, putting the state in charge. The National Guard is not fully deployed along with the Minnesota State patrol. Though still tense, the situation so far looks much colder than yesterday. Asked why the guard were not fully deployed before last night in vernal, Major General john jensen said they had to wait for local authorities to request it. I have no authority does self deploy the minnesota National Guard anywhere in the state. I have no authority whatsoever. With local authorities no longer in the lead, governor walz says he understands everyone is watching and waiting to see what will happen tonight. He also says the authorities cannot do this alone. I will not patronize you as a white man without those lived experiences. Im asking you to help us. City Police Officers are still not here in the area. A curfew has been set starting at 8 00 p. M. Tonight. Bret mike tobin live in minneapolis. President trump coming under fire for a tweet stating when looting starts, the shooting stars. That earned him another rebuke from twitter. And that in turn intensifies the president s ongoing war with social media in general, twitter specifically. The president also is ratcheting up the pressure on china over the coronavirus and chinas treatments of hong kong. Correspondent Kristin Fisher is at the white house tonight when all of that. Good evening, kristen. Good evening. Moments ago presiden president p address that tweet. He said he did not know where that saying came from. When the looting starts, the shooting starts. Nor did he say that he knew it dated back to race riots in the 1960s. I understand the hurt and pain. President trump expressing condolences over the murder of george floyd but he didnt mention floyds name or the rights and minneapolis, nor did he take any questions earlier in the day during what was billed as a rose garden news conference. Im here today to talk about our relationship with china. Instead minutes before walking out, President Trump tried to clarify his controversial comment when the looting starts, the shooting starts on twitter. He rode looting leads to shooting, thats why a man was shot and killed in minneapolis on wednesday night. The line was first used in 1967 by a former police chief in miami whose aggressive tactics in black neighborhoods helped spark riots. Thats the Historical Context that twitter is siding in its decision to slap a first of its kind warning label over the president s tweet. This tweet violated the twitter rules about glorifying violence. Twitter has determined and may be in the publics interest for the tweet to remain accessible. The white houses official twitter account fire back saying that the president did not glorify violence and accused twitter of censoring the president of the United States while allowing tweets from irans Supreme Leader calling for the destruction of israel to stand. Twitter did put factcheck labels on a china spokesperson saying that the coronavirus originated in the United States. Today President Trump place the blame clearly on china. Chinas coverup of the wuhan virus allowed the disease to spread all over the world instigating Global Pandemic that is because more than 100,000 american lives and over a million lives worldwide. President trump announced that after freezing funding to the world health organization, now the United States will be terminating its relationship with the w. H. O. Entirely. After china approved a new security law threatening the independence of hong kong, President Trump says hes now directing his and administration to begin illuminating policy exemptions they give hong kong preferential treatment. 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. And one final blow to beijing, this afternoon President Trump issued a proclamation banning certain chinese nationals with ties to chinas military from entering the United States for graduate school. President trump says hes doing it to try to keep them from stealing u. S. Intellectual property and technology. Bret Kristin Fisher live on the north lawn. Thank you.

Joe bidens message to protesters is he gets it. Its about time to encourage violence. Its a national crisis. We need real leadership, leadership that will bring everyone to the table so we can take measures to root out systemic system. His tone on racial issues has changed a lot in a week. If you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or drum, then you aint black. How might this affect his choice for running mate .

A couple things, number one but what i ask you guys to do and make sure that you can convey this, okay, do not allow this administration of boxes and right now, okay. Kislyak response we have conveyed it. Flynn says depending on what actions they take over the Current Issue of the cyber stuff, you know, they are going to dismiss a number of russians out of the country. I understand all that and i understand that you know the information they have in all of that but i would ask russia if not to do anything because i know if you have some sort of action to only make it reciprocal. Make it reciprocal. Do not make it go any further than you have to because i do not want to get us instant that has to escalate on a tit for tat. Do you follow me, ambassador .
