u.k. memorial let's go to natasha butler who is in normandy for us so the crown in may they had a ceremony earlier commemorating the british participation in d.-day and now tell us more about what macron and trump are doing. yes the french president and the u.s. president will soon be together there colleville still male cemetery overlooking mohawk beach where so many thousands of young american soldiers and made their way up those beaches they took part in what became the liberation of france and europe from nazi forces now the cemetery and coville so many more than 9000 american servicemen and women are buried there it is a very moving place and we are expecting the presidents of both frogs and the united states to make a speech paying tribute to the men and women who sacrificed their lives not d.-day of course who said 5 years has been
6:01 pm
a very powerful symbol of international collaboration of nations countries people coming together working side by side for a common purpose and we can probably expect. to touch on some of those themes in his speech he is not a believer in multinational ism he believes in international alliances institutions and deals that of course is not the case necessarily with the donald trump and his america 1st policy and what we understand is he will in his speech of course pay homage to those who died here and who fought so bravely but he will also talk about how they are citizens of free and independent nations i wonder if that is perhaps a reference to the fact that he sees countries like america as putting themselves posed as perhaps the most important form of international policy rather than alliances that franco american lions which was so strong here a sim to 5 years ago strong enough that young people sacrificed their lives to for it today as big. a very strange indeed with these 2 leaders having very different
6:02 pm
visions of the world so and these 2 leaders will be having a working lunch natasha deal we know what will be discussed. well they lease a say there will be a range of the issues when macro and trump sit down for this working lunch and carbonate city in normandy they'll be talking about trade what they call terrorism they'll be talking about iran about the situation in the middle east and these they seem to be putting something of a positive spin on these talks perhaps an opportunity to reset this strange relationship in the context of today this sort of a context of nations and countries coming together but it won't be so easy because the british president over the past year has become increasingly frustrated quickly united states according to. the decision to pull united states out of the climate a cold out of the iran deal we have donald trump talking about perhaps pulling the
6:03 pm
u.s. out of nato and how europeans need to spend more on their defense budgets and then the latest bone of contention would be trade of course because the e.u. and us are supposed to start negotiations on a trade industrial goods but a model mike hall has said from the european point of view that is necessary that the u.s. either sign up to the climate deal or put environmental policy firmly on the table before any negotiations can begin so you can imagine that these 2 leaders are certainly going into these talks are very opposing views they might be very heated discussions we don't necessarily know though because there is no press conference or statement expected after. our live for us in normandy thank you natasha. still ahead on al-jazeera as parliament demands answers after the easter sunday bombings that killed more than 250 people. a. week prior to the group the art by algorithm exhibition produced by the world's

6:27 pm
politics and we want to take a closer look at what efforts the authorities are making to find her killer 000000 . 00000. we begin by following up on speculations that members of the military police assassinated mariella that she was being punished for criticizing the way they carry out their operations against drug gangs in the favelas. one such operation took place on june 20th 2018 in muddy the favela that mariella came from . the police came in by air firing killing a 14 year old boy mark has been a serious. brunette a silver his mother told us that marcus and his friend and he could live running late for school but when the show got a muffin i realized when. i show what the prison don't want him over to look at a little mill for you the boys to cover them coming out they faced an armored car

6:29 pm
as she just bought a house. no way carnival preparations are under way flavia candido was formally mary alice assistant. she too is highly critical of the police operations in rio's 5. fox. feel much the robbers. who also made the ball before the law but flavia says there is more to mario is killing them revenge for criticizing police operations. this woman is still my. voice. man. thinks that maryellen was despised by the conservative political establishment
6:30 pm
because she empowered. no we'll know you. for. all. of us about what but only. to this legacy she wanted my niece residents to be proud. of. also. believe. by. the communities mistrust of the police is understandable but to date no evidence has emerged to support the theory that the police killed.
6:31 pm
instead all official investigations are focusing on more sinister groups rio's crime. secret paramilitary organizations known as militias. they have been formed by members of the security forces who felt that working within the constraints of the law was too limiting heavily armed they've taken the fight against the drug gangs into their own hands many militias have close links with politicians and some politicians even employ their services. in rio as west zone the militias control entire neighborhoods forcing residents to pay not just for security but for gas cable t.v. and transport too. according to a homicide police investigation of west's own militia commander has been lending
6:32 pm
his deadly services to a local politician. we're following the footsteps of a man who's actually accused of ordering the killing of mariella franco he's a councilman and a real estate developer and he's heavily invested in these areas. his name is muscle. and he's agreed to meet us in his sports club in ga daniel another area firmly under militia control. this club used to be run by a political opponent but sicilian or took it over. and his assistants have organized the community thank you party that just happens to coincide with our visit. more video. with him in. the homicide police have build
6:33 pm
a case against sicilian or based on a witness who said he heard the councilman order the militia to kill not reality. the motive so this theory goes is that sicilian wanted to stop mariella from educating residents about the housing rights in communities where he has construction interests. but the witness has been discredited and cecelia who insist that he's being framed by the. evil commission but it doesn't mean. you're with a force on the ass i think it will get your game going to change you've got to be the guts of this scene look at the vision that there would you believe you can image he claims a political opponent is using the allegations to undermine him you watch. which is why you don't like him i judge you think if we all moderate you mean carry
6:34 pm
a power like to be a point guard. with as we had died would you speak of the rather good of us as soon as you feel that there is more than jumping what is. the possibility that the theory could even be true shows how murderous rio's politics can be is the police doing a good job if they take a witness like that seriously. at them a going to get out very hard that you can feel. the federal police have started to investigate allegations that the homicide police helped protect the person who really ordered mary-alice killing meanwhile councilman cecilia no remains a suspect. 10 days into our stay there are dramatic developments. on the orders of the public prosecutor and the civil police one of 5 new and forstmann agencies in brazil 2 men are arrested for mario his murder. allegedly drove the car.
6:35 pm
whilst funny lessa a former policeman is accused of firing the gun that killed money ella and her driver. investigators also raid the house of another associate upon a lesser where they find a huge stockpile of weapons kit enough to assemble over 100 m. 16 rifles the parts are owned by lesser and suggest that he may be an illegal gun dealer with connections to organized crime. we had to duke or lived a neighborhood hardly affordable for a retired policeman this is the street to the house behind us i was arrested it's really a market exclusive community one of the houses in there belongs to president jay you have also now wrote meaning the president of brazil and mary alice killer when neighbors. the suspects are held at the local police station.
6:36 pm
it's also home to the homicide division that's now under scrutiny for the as yet botched investigation into councilman cicely arnold. what the local colleagues are saying is that this operation was brought forward by one day because there was a rumor that the suspects had received a tip off and were getting ready to flee loesser later confirmed that he'd been tipped off about his imminent arrest and it fueled yet more suspicions of a wider conspiracy involving the police certainly the director of the homicide division emerges he's off to meet reels governor for a press conference. at the governor's palace we pick up on more news about links between the alleged killers and brazil's new president it's confirmed that he number one of the president's sons had dated lessers daughter. then the president is identified in a facebook photo with. the alleged driver at maddie ellis killing.
6:37 pm
governor wilson witsel opens the press conference. and then detective journey to an largest who is leading this investigation explains how officers used technology and tip off from informants to identify lesser included as the alleged assassins it was crucially their movements in the moments before mary-alice death where is the evolution is the result of i think what is known. by his article or are we want to. stop uses of in uganda detective largest says the analysis of less is internet searches sheds light on a possible motive you know it's not the former policeman had been looking for targets on the political left not just money or. even heavier mouthpieces
6:38 pm
some. others beside him gratis you know i still have the reach was it. i mean the job gains by g.e. has all very own. and you see the form of government. if you so you can enjoy the journalists are skeptical they wonder why previous theories about money as clashes with housing construction are suddenly no longer valid. i want to talk now with somebody. here again no no no it was those little known overdubbing. many here believe that lesson had links with a militia group and that he was paid by a powerful person to kill money or they suspect a cover up. which must always be.
6:39 pm
spying on you and then the press conference is a rockley holter it. was a. day later detective largess is removed by gov witsel from the investigation. busy. if my realist killers intended to stop her campaigns their plans failed. the outrage over her desk of momentum to the election of 3 more black female lawmakers into rio's legislative assembly. source or danny montero and monica francisco the mary-alice friends and are all members of peace or the party for socialism and liberty.
6:40 pm
they have vowed to continue my realist struggle for more inclusiveness embryo's politics. this is the office of recently elected state deputy source. peace all has a track record of challenging corruption in various politics and its members think that the killing of mariella could have been part of a wider attempt to silence their party. so here he is almost say concise family. but is a militia as if it is nice is sheer. laziness and wherever there's always a huge sea out as usual we saw shaved ice on the. what is a are. both. paths stand wise that you made in the. piece all is a small party on the far left but it often punches above its weight another
6:41 pm
investigation into wrongdoing in the city's public transport system also led to a rest. but despite the efforts the power of various militias remains unchecked. dark but is now balm wish to move in but as you know. more about go out if it out in the sack she was for the os if bamma but i come back or i saw my familiar journey you know from the mother this isn't said she you wish wish that and they usually saw you always change families. but most brazilians are more worried about security than corruption. they believe that politicians who want the security forces to respond with more force are more likely to deliver. both president also narrow and real's governor but
6:42 pm
voted into office by a public who favored strongmen. gov witsel rarely gives interviews so we've come to see him at a public event. it's meant to be promoting tourism but instead his pro security agenda gets an airing your imagination. is the most of you guys you know the governor is upset about crime and some made by real smith who has called the police a mess and corrupt. group he's unapologetic about the use of violence by various police since he took office in january police killings are the highest ever recorded so. after the event the press get rich so to respond to the mayor's criticism of the police you don't know what the question is can we ask you know what did you know here all the morning you'll know flash through g g r which are so
6:43 pm
general just sort of you know what you get out of it. just don't seem. that big it would be good if he was here not to give them which we saw and what the . i wondered if the governor's close connections with the security forces might affect the inquiries into mario his murder are you committed to seeing the mariella frontal investigation through all the way to the end even if the connections go to the very top of the political police establishment doesn't money ending up in with the phonies when you travel yeah i give you. what you don't want to be. you want to live you should go to see it because it was one of the premium prize money and then base it on just about a police records my vision got i am running very quickly it will slowly scale visit or few but the major loss of police if you'll let me say we're going to struggle here down the road so should the sides would maybe should go. for.
6:44 pm
the other celestial to mistake it's the 1st anniversary of money and this killing the stage has been set up and a crowd has gathered for a memorial event. he was. told. that and. danny and monica the newly elected state legislators are joined by tell you via picture on a realist federal deputies. they urged the crowd to keep up the pressure for the investigation to continue but yet it was true of course so the only point eat. eat poorly is. all still the bottle. he sure was mad his ego. at least you know what it was the think that he just passed. did you feel you came enjoyed. it's an emotional event
6:45 pm
for the crowd and speakers alike many you knew mariella personally and they're determined to continue her legacy. oh. their facebook a place that you couldn't believe but yet you. go on. to mariella supporters my guess cannibal song has become an anthem to justice. the will lose your. must lose lose will close. this will. not there are still many unanswered questions about the assassination of money out of
6:46 pm
franco especially who may ultimately have been behind it. against a background of widening divisions in brazil the authorities must prove that they're serious about solving her murder until they do the mistrust and cya teams will only continue to grow. as governments fail to cut emissions scientists are proposing drastic measures to save the planet. people in power ways technological endeavors to counter humanity's pollutants against the risks of further meddling with the environment to ever feel like this is playing god it's actually quite unsettling and quite frankly makes me quite anxious. klein attack is on our jersey or.

would be absolutely important and welcome because there's an element of contradiction here generally in africa. and considering what happened in libya in the direct foreign intervention and that's where i would from the slightly a group that russia is not necessarily something that would be very popular the after is left of the african union and the region a body it good which is rather very very quiet so i think the giunta needs to know that yes if they're to sustain themselves and in the event that they sustain themselves minus the people who stood on there's no way in which they could sustain themselves successfully with on all other member states you know they would be friends with egypt and i'm said arabia and who else because even the u.s. into the friends and allies of all 4 of these regional powers would not necessarily be anywhere near them but i am rather sudden because of the extent to which all these events have taken place and they now seem to agree with people who 3 weeks

ago we're saying that perhaps the opposition rather too quick to give legitimacy to this case by agreeing to sit down with them but there's no other option but to sit down and tuck has the underestimated the strength of the opposition movement and the reaction to what's happened by world powers. absolutely they underestimated it locally and indeed the underestimated globally and if their friends in the region who seem to have few their actions in recent times. thought that they were helping them i think that made it worse because right now the focus is not back on to the rio sudan but he has a downer where there was. no but mountains that he has done where people now remember why south sudan had to secede under his or down way of particularly general sedaka lead take place in darfur which genocide actually helped isolate but but but she but now some of the apollo position because saying that and i grew them

but what has happened in the last several days could not have happened under bush you in the last. 6 months because she had actually become rather mild and that's interesting and perhaps you would not have done what this guys have actually done in the last few days extraordinary so why did they take this in advice course of action it's it's interesting isn't it the violence against the protesters came after visits by senior leaders from the jointer to saudi arabia and egypt and after the expulsion of al jazeera journalists. that is absolutely correct and yesterday i was listening to a former u.s. diplomat haven't caught him who actually and for size and i agree with him that it is very difficult not to believe that this action was a direct result of all of those those visits the absolutely understood method that people sit down and yes as you rightly say this was well planned and well

orchestrated they made sure that they took off al-jazeera of town before they went on to this college but this is not what you could do in darfur perhaps 20 years ago 24 hour television we saw it live it's actually rather too brutal so they understood it what they did actually was to govern eyes are the african peoples including now the african union come late this it is a position from across the political divide i would say to people meeting in both at home and abroad different interest groups are coming together and simply say that well that is now much more important reason for for saddam together i think these guys have allies only in saudi arabia and egypt anywhere else i'm actually not quite sure and final point actually on this particular one i think it is the last and west to depart unity for someone who was in charge of january and genocide in darfur where the process in the last one month would have been a healing process for all of them if you like a soft landing but right now it has brought them back on the table meaning that
