the protesters are encouraging other protesters to come up and join them. they've been telling each other to stick together, stay together. they've been giving out telephone numbers of lawyers if they get arrested tonight, many of them wearing helmets. they have their own gas masks. they have umbrellas. they've come here to stand their ground or at least try to stand their ground as long as they can in the name of daunte wright. >> quickly, how far back did they push you? how far do you think you have gone since you have been on air? >> we are about 75 feet from where we started this evening and before it's all over we'll probably be another 200 feet down the road here to the next intersection. but, yeah, it's not very far. it is slow. it is methodical, but they are pushing everybody back. it's a very big complex, so they have sort of two sides to protect. and it looks like they have lines on both sides of it, don. >> it's also important to point out these are apartment complexes. there are people, families, children living in these homes. >> reporter: yeah

ambassador in ankara in protest. we'll have avn nrmeniae the pentagon says it has begun the first stages of its withdrawal from afghanistan and will gradually turn over control of u.s. military bases to afghan forces. sunday's announcement by army general scott miller came as the taliban reiterated its call for all foreign forces to leave afghanistan by may 1 -- the peace talks in 2020. earlier this month, president biden rolled back the u.s. withdrawal to september 11, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. the u.n. released an urgent call for action after a shipwreck off the coast of libya claimed an estimated 130 lives this week. it was the largest tragedy in the central mediterranean since the art of t year. 2021 has seen at least twice as many deaths along the dangerous migration route as the same period last ye. the u.n. is calling on nations to strengthen search and rescue operations in the mediterranean, to stop returning refugees to dangerous countries, and to allow for safe disembarkation procedures. isr

massive protests when mr. navalny returned from germany and he was basically recovering from poison attack. those were the largest protests in about a decade in russia. and there are thousands detained, and what happens after that is, lots of people are released but then there are repercussions. there are finds. other people are sent to court to be tried and then others have had their homes raided, they have had problems as their jobs. they have had police or security forces come into their offices. so there certainly is this aspect of intimidation and fear. but that has not prevented people, as you said from coming out across the country because there were thousands of people out on the streets in various russian cities today. >> it makes it very moving given what you just described, people saying navalny is not afraid, we are not afraid, because clearly there is reason for fear both for him and for the people who are coming out to support him. one of the things we talked about a couple of days ago, and, was

you say are there peaceful protesters? of course there are peaceful protesters. are there sincere people out here demonstrating? of course they are. were people looting last night? yes and the night before. it's a mixed bag. >> shannon: mike, you and i feel like have done this quite a bit over the last few months. you are there on the ground giving a size and ears, brave leader reporting for us which we greatly appreciate. i remember once ago in the police precinct was invaded and essentially evacuated or abandoned, some people would say. that was a tough optic for the city and a lot of people. it seemed to represent for a lot of folks are turning point in exactly where these protests and demonstrations and things turned more violent, where they were going. is it your sense that this community does not want to have a repeat of that, the police leaving the precinct, giving up ground? do you have a sense that there's going to be different guidelines and procedures in shutting things down more quickly? >> the one thing chief arradondo of the minneapolis police has h

when does a protest become a riot? helpfully, this new bill also massively expands the definition of what it means to riot in the state of florida. it now only takes three people to make a riot now in florida. the law also creates a whole new felony category of rioting. it creates a whole new crime called mob intimidation. it makes the crime of blocking a highway a felony offense. and just for good measure, the law denies bail to arrested protesters and it creates new protections for confederate monuments, because it wasn't on the nose enough already. harsh new penalties for protesting, new protections for confederate monuments. it's a felony to block a highway. and immunity for drivers who plow into protesters. florida democrats tried in vain to stop this bill. they pointed, among other things, to the death of heather heyer who was killed while protesting against the white national list neo nazi gathering in charlottesville, virginia in 2017. would the neo-nazi guy who drove his car into protesters there and killed he

is pushing bills that target protesters and give immunity to drive them over. while the black lives matter demonstrations forced america to rethink racial inequality and placed america's human rights violations and white supremacist terror in the international spotlight republicans refused to acknowledge it instead they chose to attack protest rights in 34 states and county republicans are coming after protests rates a florida bill that was recently signed into law gives police broad discretion to call a gathering a right and charge protesters with a felony the law creates a new crime mob intimidation and requires anyone to arrested at a protest denied bail until their 1st court appearance it also appeals to the governor and his cabinet for any local officials that want to reduce police funding but that's not all protesters have to worry about bills being pushed would bar people from receiving student loans and state aid and get immunized drivers who decide to run them down this would mean that people like james alex fields jr who ran into heather higher murder

the right to protest remains, rightfully protected, and the vast majority of protests and protesters will be entirely unaffected by these measures to the problem with the bill is that it gives police and the court's powers to acceptable, what is troublesome, what is annoying, what is too noisy to let's be absolutely clear. it let's be absolutely clear. it is a blatant and biased attack on the — is a blatant and biased attack on the long—standing - is a blatant and biased attack on the long—standing right i is a blatant and biased attack on the long—standing right to protest — on the long—standing right to protest from _ on the long—standing right to protest from a _ on the long—standing right to protest from a government . on the long—standing right to . protest from a government that has a _ protest from a government that has a track— protest from a government that has a track record _ protest from a government that has a track record of— has a track record of dismissing - has a track record of dismissing the - has a track record of dismissing the rule. has a t

protests across colombia some protesters started trowing iraq's at the police the police responded with stun grenades and tear gas dispersing a massive crowd tens of thousands of people took to the streets here in time and number of cities across colombia against a tax reform proposed by the government that would raise taxes on many basic items people in colombia or angry they are hired they have been greatly affected by. the idea of having to pay more taxes was just at the last drop for many of them so it's important to say that most of the day was peaceful here in the capital bogota the clashes were at the end of the demonstrations there were other clashes in the city. and the mayor there decided to impose a curfew at 1 pm local the mayor of bogota also the side that she will stop all services at 5 pm and this asking people to go back home now people took to the streets the spite the fact that both the national government and local governments have asked people not to demonstrate not to protest given the fact that we are in the middle. way of coping 19 infections in the country hospit

it sparked an often violent protest movement. the authorities condemned the protests. violence is not a solution to any problem. violence will only breed more violence, and at the end of the day, the whole of hong kong and the people will suffer as a result of the loss of law and order in hong kong. the bill was eventually withdrawn, but in 2020 beijing imposed a national security law on hong kong that criminalises state subversion and colluding with foreign powers. the most high—profile arrest under it so far isjimmy lai. a month after he was released on bail, we met him at his house in kowloon. critics say thatjimmy lai is a traitor, an enemy of china. they say he is one of the masterminds of the 2019 protest movement and deserves to go to prison. do you think about the contrast between this and the prospect of living... in prison? this is just living my life peacefully. but if i am injail, i am living a life meaningfully. jimmy lai was born in mainland china but was smuggled into hong kong as a child. he started working in a sweatshop aged 12. by his 20s he had bu
