3:00 am
in the us — the brutal murder of george floyd while he was in police custody. the black 46—year—old was killed by a white minneapolis police officer who kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes, while ignoring floyd's cries. video of the incident quickly went viral around the world, sparking the largest racialjustice protests in the us since the civil rights movement. we're going to show you just a brief moment of that. and a warning — it might be disturbing to some viewers. what do you want? i cannot breathe- — that moment didn'tjust lead to protests in the us. it sparked a global reckoning with racism — an issue the world continues to grapple with. in the us, lawmakers responded with the george floyd justice in policing act. it was originally introduced in 2021. the act passed the then—democratically controlled house but deadlocked in the senate over language surrounding qualified immunity, which could lead officers to face expanded accountability.
3:01 am
this week, house democrats, with the support of floyd's family, reintroduced that act to create federal police reform. this is something that is a priority, this is demanded, and if you want to wait for someone like this to hit your front door and then you will be proactive, you have a problem. as democrats reintroduce that bill, presidentjoe biden issued a statement saying: president biden also said he signed an executive order to implement aspects of the george floyd justice in policing act. if that legislation makes it through congress this time, it would address issues ranging from policing practices
3:02 am
to accountability of law enforcement. if passed, it would lower the criminal intent standards to convict a police officer for misconduct, limit qualified immunity as a defence to liability in a private civil action against a law enforcement officer and limit the unnecessary use of force and restricts the use of no—knock warrants and chokeholds. earlier, i spoke with representative sheila jackson lee, who reintroduced the legislation this week. before we get to talk about the axe, you have spent the day with george floyd's family, how are they as this fourth anniversary approaches? you can imaaine anniversary approaches? you can imagine to _ anniversary approaches? you can imagine to live _ anniversary approaches? you can imagine to live with _ anniversary approaches? you can imagine to live with the - imagine to live with the inhumane action of your brother being murdered on the streets of america, and to be reminded of america, and to be reminded of that every single day for four years, and not doing
3:03 am
anything seemingly about this brutal and conspicuous matter. that is, first of all, there feeling. second, they have resolved, they are resilient. they want to make sure that we have a bill that becomes the law of the land and that the law of the land and that the law of the land and that the law of the land is for everyone and theirfamily, there law of the land is for everyone and their family, there was a long litany of tragic cases that followed george floyd. inaudible. that included some of our cases, like many of those whose families are in line now of trying to get this kind of legislation passed. i paused for a moment because they wanted to give them honour and to give them respect but
3:04 am
they are also waiting. the idea of george floyd family is they are carrying a heavy burden because they are carrying the burden of their family and the burden of their family and the burden of their family and the burden of otherfamily burden of their family and the burden of other family members who look to them to keep the fight going and to ensure that legislation will be passed that stops the no knock, which is an absurd and works to ensure that there is a fair system between police and citizens. that there is no inaudible between police and citizens to ensure that one has an upper hand. we want police to go home to their families and we want people, citizens, to go home to their families. there is nothing wrong with that. that is the method we have in the feeling that the family has, it is a
3:05 am
very charitable family. a family that believes in the spirit of giving so that there is no upper hand. that is the way the george floyd family feels and i am amazed and overwhelmed at the way they respond. they respond in a very charitable way, they respond in a manner that is giving, and charitable way, they respond in a mannerthat is giving, and in a mannerthat is giving, and in a mannerthat is giving, and in a manner that is hopeful. they are hopeful now, very hopeful. they are impatient with waiting. they are impatient with waitinu . , they are impatient with waitinu. , .,~ they are impatient with waitinu. , waiting. there is a break upon the line we — waiting. there is a break upon the line we apologise - waiting. there is a break upon the line we apologise to - waiting. there is a break upon the line we apologise to our. the line we apologise to our view is that we will persevere is speaking to you because this is speaking to you because this is an important topic. given the importance of what you have been outlining there, why is it that this act has not been managed to be passed? why are we at this point where we have
3:06 am
to reintroduce it? we know there is little the democrats and republicans agree on at the moment, can you reach agreement on this? we moment, can you reach agreement on this? ~ , ., ., on this? we weigh very hard to have a bipartisan _ on this? we weigh very hard to have a bipartisan bill. - on this? we weigh very hard to have a bipartisan bill. we - on this? we weigh very hard to have a bipartisan bill. we had i have a bipartisan bill. we had one when it was first introduced and it was passed by over 200 votes. we have to ask those few republicans really this time in the house of representatives why they would be an obstacle to passing this legislation. very good legislation, fair legislation. legislation that would not undermine the integrity of law enforcement at any level. i have to ask the question of those who would vote against it in the us senate, which were republicans. it is important that we find a way to carve out the right kind of plan that
3:07 am
works for those in the united states senate and then use the same formula in the united states house of representatives. states house of re - resentatives. , states house of reresentatives. , ., representatives. there is no standard training _ representatives. there is no standard training practice . representatives. there is no standard training practice or| standard training practice or agree operational methods that apply right across all of this many police forces, but in the last four years since the murder of george floyd, have there been some improvements that you can point to in policing?— that you can point to in policing? that you can point to in olicin: ? . , ., policing? individual acts have certainly occurred _ policing? individual acts have certainly occurred as - policing? individual acts have certainly occurred as the - certainly occurred as the family has said. there have been executive orders that have been executive orders that have been signed by local cities and counties. that is, mostly, who have the lawmaking capacity. none of that is the law of the land of the united states of america. what the family wants is an established law that
3:08 am
applies to every citizen, that is what we want, to be governed by the same law all across america. that is a fair and only way to be fair. according to polls. _ only way to be fair. according to polls. a — only way to be fair. according to polls. a large _ only way to be fair. according to polls, a large majority - only way to be fair. according to polls, a large majority of. to polls, a large majority of black americans say they are treated differently by police and other ethnic groups. a report from gallup shows that 71% of black americans say they are less likely to be treated fairly by police in comparison to their hispanic and white counterparts. 75% say they are less likely to be treated with respect by police than white or hispanic people. former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin — the man seen in the viral video putting his knee on george floyd's neck — was sentenced to more than a0 years in prison after being convicted of murdering mr floyd. mr chauvin wasn't the only one charged in connection to mr floyd's death. officersj alexander kueng, tou thao, and thomas lane were given sentences ranging from 2—3.5 years. footage of the arrest shows kueng and lane assisting chauvin by helping to hold mr floyd down.
3:09 am
thao, meanwhile, kept concerned bystanders away. the mapping police violence database reports that black people in the us are 2.9 times more likely to be killed by police than white people in the us. however, some progress has been made since george floyd's death. more than 30 states have passed a total of 140 police oversight and reform laws since mr floyd's death. i spoke with christina carrega, a criminaljustice reporter for capital b news, about that progress — or lack thereof — toward police reform in the us. just listening to what the congresswoman was saying there about these acts, why is it it has taken this long for this legislation, any legislation like this, to be passed? we had a formal representative - like this, to be passed? we had a formal representative who - a formal representative who introduced the bill in its 2020 and she became the mayor of los angeles so her seat has been removed and the bill did not have a person championing it.
3:10 am
to see that representative sheila jackson has taken to introduce the bill again, it is a good promise, at least for the floyd family, but why it has taken this long is the republicans other ones pushing back and those of people who are very much against at least mostly but in partly qualified immunity part of this whole bill. it would remove remove the offices way of not being held severally responsible for a persons death. that is something that seems to have been the only recourse for a long time in this country when it came to getting just whenever somebody was killed by a police officer, a civil action, a criminal action is very far in between nowadays, over the last ten years we see moreover but it is not enough. this bill would help with those particular things to help get some kind of equality within the police department as we all know the federal site is just the federal side, only guidelines for these dates. we can hope that other states will follow as the these particular reforms could be helpfulfor

3:12 am
ended with eric gardner's life gone and no repercussions severally, it took six years for that officer to be disciplined. that particular sequence we saw after george floyd, we see it now, it is still going on. the delay of getting some type of reform happening in these police departments and also unions they have to answer to where they have to answer to where they have to answer to where they have a say in these things. it is a lot of red tape within the smaller and larger departments they have to overcome as well as the politics in the particular city as well, a red state may not have that type of backing from their local government, whether their local government, whether the mayor or the governor, to say yes, let's get the bill going, and the local officials to get the policy. a lot of obstacles and those 19 they did not add that part into their bill or into their policy, probably those cyber issues going on.

3:14 am
having to assimilate to these people they have never interacted with. although your aunt with easy police training, their reactions will be nervous, all the negatives that would be the first thing, triple pull out your gun, that is where we as parents and family members have to talk to our kids, even ourselves sometimes, to make sure we have our id when we leave the house, we are giving eye contact when spoken to, not making aggressive movements. having these tools when we are trying to go to the store to get something to eat, it is taxing, every day we have some type of defence mechanism on usjust to make sure that 0k, defence mechanism on usjust to make sure that ok, i know what is cold outside, i have a hold on, but i will not keep it on for so long if there are enough streetlights on the block. these precautionary measures we have to take as a community just to make sure we get home save as well. we understand the offices of course have a hard
3:15 am
job, nobody wants to just go and do that, and the ones that are able to, we commend that. let's now take a step back and look at who george floyd was before he became a global symbol in the fight against police brutality. originally from houston, texas, mr floyd was 46 years old when he was murdered in minneapolis. he moved to the us state of minnesota in 2014, where he worked as a security guard and a truck driver. prior to the move, mr floyd had served multiple jail terms for charges including drug possession and trespassing. he is father to two daughters, who were ages 6 and 22 at the time of his death. it was announced this week that his younger daughter, the now—10—year—old gianna floyd, will be credited as an executive producer on a film about george floyd. the biopic will be titled daddy changed the world — words that gianna told us presidentjoe biden the day before her father's funeral. and for more on who george floyd was and the international reaction to his murder, i spoke to authors of the book his name is george floyd — robert samuels and
3:16 am
toluse 0lorunnipa. in may 2020, it was a normal day in american history until george floyd met derek stephen, the police officer who killed him. because of the way he was killed, his knee was on his neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds, it was videotaped, it went viral posted online, and people were outraged by the sense of inhumanity, the sense that derek stephen did not care about george floyd. became a symbol of something much greater because derek stephen was an agent of the state and became symbol of how the government, the state had its knee on the negative black for hundreds of years, and that became the rallying cry for the movement and we saw so many people take up the cause and seeing him not only as a man is a symbol of something greater of racism and the injustice that black people and people of colour have faith in this country for a long time. it country for a long time. it went right around the world,

3:18 am
statistics are still there, young black men in particular are more likely to be stopped by police, more likely to be incarcerated, more likely to have a lower level of education, lower level of household income. where is the movement now? where is the pressure?— pressure? four years later, a lot of the — pressure? four years later, a lot of the promise _ pressure? four years later, a lot of the promise we - pressure? four years later, a lot of the promise we saw - pressure? four years later, a lot of the promise we saw in | lot of the promise we saw in the protest has fizzled out and we have seen a backlash, book spans, people say we do not need to talk about race anymore, bans on the kinds of teaching about american history we saw after george floyd died. instead of seeing this mass movement leading to major change and major shifts towards racial justice, change and major shifts towards racialjustice, we have seen the backlash and people see that we have gone too far in talking about racism and maybe we should retreat from some of that. some of the retracement is where we are now was a country trying to deal with people saying that what happened after george floyd was killed was too much, too soon, and instead of massive change

3:21 am
number of challenges. he faced a lot of adversity, and he had to pick himself up every time he was locked down, whether by systemic adjusters or even by his own mistakes, so we learned from george floyd as we learned about george floyd, and as we have gone through our ups and downs through the process of being authors in writing this book and receiving accolades but the same time seeing book bands and injustices and racism in our direction, we have learnt we had to pick ourselves up learnt we had to pick ourselves up and continue to fight and continue to thrive and push forward with the broad goal of what we wanted to do with our book, which are shiny light on systemic injustice, shine a light on the changes they need to take place in order to eradicate that injustice and make sure we are pushing forward on a daily basis towards creating a better society for everyone. what does it say about _ society for everyone. what does it say about the _ society for everyone. what does it say about the us _ society for everyone. what does it say about the us that - society for everyone. what does it say about the us that you - it say about the us that you are still having to do that in 2024? it are still having to do that in 2024? ,._ , , are still having to do that in 2024? ,.,_ , ., are still having to do that in 2024? , ., ., ~ 2024? it says it is hard work. i do not doubt _

3:25 am
app out on our website. and on our app as well. for now from the team, thank you for watching, i am caitriona perry, see you soon. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. the weather's looking pretty mixed this bank holiday weekend. although saturday looks to be pretty decent for many with a lot of sunshine around, sunday and bank holiday monday will see some heavy, thundery showers developing, some local torrential downpours but there'll still be some sunshine in between. now, for saturday, we've got two frontal systems approaching — one across the east and one across the west. this one will arrive quite early through the morning across east anglia, eastern england and spread westward, so skies turning cloudier here. this one will arrive late in the day for south west england, south wales but in between, plenty of sunshine around after a chilly start, then we should see sunny spells into the afternoon. could see just a few showers developing. most places should stay dry and it'll feel warmer again with top temperatures of 20 or 21 degrees. now, as we head through saturday night, this weather front across the east peps up,
3:26 am
brings outbreaks of rain for much of northern england, pushing into scotland, and this one across the southwest pushes northwards across england and wales, so it'll be turning cloudier, breezier and wetter through saturday night so, as a result, it'll be milder with double figure values for most to start monday morning. but sunday's pressure chart looks quite messy. there's a couple of weather fronts pretty much across the country will bring a more unsettled day. so, we'll have that first weather front bringing outbreaks of rain to scotland and northern ireland through the morning. some sunshine for northern scotland. and then for england and wales, the sunshine will emerge and when the sunshine comes out, it sets off scattered, heavy and thundery downpours. these could be quite slow—moving, particularly through the midlands in towards wales and north west england. if you catch one, you'll certainly know about it. but sunshine in between, maybe not quite as warm —17—19 degrees. for bank holiday monday, the weather fronts push their way northward, so it's in the north where we'll see the focus of the heaviest and most frequent showers, i think. they'll pop up pretty much anywhere. again, it's going to be another day of sunshine and showers
3:27 am
but it is northern and eastern areas, i think, which will see most of those thundery downpours. and later in the day, something a bit drier pushing into western areas. temperatures again a degree or so down, so 15—17 celsius, but not feeling too bad in the sunshine. as we head into tuesday and beyond, it looks like low pressure starts to take over, our weather turns breezier. we'll see showers or longer spells of rain. but high pressure waits in the wings, so it could turn a bit more settled as we move into next weekend. but certainly, into next week, it will be quite unsettled. showers or longer spells of rain but a bit of sunshine in between.
