mistakes says about. accountability in a nicely unaccountable war has anyone from the u.s. military been in touch with you since the. falklands investigates afghanistan civilian loss in the us. this is al-jazeera. this is a news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 days it's a step towards justice 3 more police officers are charged over the death of george floyd while the officer at the center of the case is accused of 2nd degree murder. is life head value and we will seek justice for him and for you and we will find.

c this practice is still going strong across the u.s. as the secretary of defense says he is against deploying the military to quell demonstrations. and poll race in gothenburg sweden which has become the 1st country in the world to use drones to save the lives of victims of cardiac arrest. so now after more than a week of protests calling for justice for a black man who died while being arrested all 4 officers have now been charged george floyd's death triggered mass demonstrations right across the united states and around the world and showing no sign of letting up this was a scene outside the white house in washington in washington d.c. just a few minutes ago for days protesters have been demanding an end to what they say is systemic racism who held his knee against florida's neck now faces an upgraded

charge of 2nd degree murder 3 other officers have been accused of aiding and abetting murder. george floyd mattered he was loved his family was important his life had value and we will seek justice for him and for you and we will find it the very fact that we have filed these charges means that we believe in them but what i do not believe is that one successful prosecution can rectify the hurt and loss that so many people feel the solution to that pain will be slow and difficult work of constructing justice and fairness in our society. well this is george floyd's family lawyer and he's acknowledged the new challenges but says that justice will not be achieved until the office is convicted she everton's in washington d.c. will be speaking to him in just a moment let's start with 100 in minneapolis where the challenges have just been revealed. people were furiously demanding that these charges be upgraded as it were

to tell us what they're saying now that this is happening. well you can see them talking right behind me back there is the george floyd memorial and as i walk i'm going to walk along a list of names those are the names of people who have died at the hands of police here and elsewhere over the last 10 years but that crowd behind me is somewhat uplifted because one of their initial goals has been met and that was they wanted all 4 officers to face serious charges and derrick chauvin and usually faced a 3rd degree murder charge which is pretty serious but now that has been upgraded to 2nd degree murder and essentially the difference between that is a maximum sentence of 25 years or a maximum sentence of 40 years and i talked to a number of people who said they're satisfied that shows that people have been listening to what they've had to say but that is just an initial step what they

want beyond that is an end to the kind of systematic racism that they say police across the u.s. have been engaging in and that's why these names are so important the names of people who have died most of them african-americans at the hands of the police and you can see that spirits are high here but. there is a sense of progress but people are not you're saying that's why we should end approach to these protests and saying that's why the protests need to go on because they've shown some results so there is a sense of of happiness that something is happen. here but they say this is just the beginning or just a beginning to. the original demolished wants for these challenges to be increased and to spread across all 4 of them but where else would the demands go what do they want to see happen. well what they want to see is systematic

reform among police all across the united states everywhere where all these protests are occurring in chicago in los angeles in new york in ferguson is eerie in florida all of the places where this is happened and just to illustrate this i mean they are still painting new names on this list which goes back about 100 meters or so and what they're looking for is just an end to the situation in which young african-americans die at the hands of police in confrontations that at least according to the protesters we've talked to probably would not have happened had those people been white our journey would have amounted thanks very much indeed that's a picture in minneapolis let's send it over to washington d.c. to roads near the white house where she every time she is standing by she had 90 is full and since we spoke our things are going down then our.

time is following the pattern that we've seen on previous evenings things are dissipating here under the protests i mean this is by far the largest protest we've seen since since the protests began here in washington on friday thousands upon thousands several groups have now gotten better and ways some to continue the protests or coffee doesn't begin to hear and for our i mean what we've seen in previous evenings is that they you know some group center of the capitol hill of the north 'd and the thing is going to dissipate a small group of these yesterday the policy was a small group was allowed to stay here if you wasn't really enforced and it wasn't in force elsewhere actually frankly around the capitol so that there seemed to be this kind of nice like with a broom which is arrest. huge control stood up on monday as we know the national guards and police were cracking down on every one that's changed but the reason the fascinating thing there is this is the most heavily militarized policing that we've had since the since it all began yesterday that was a very hands off approach today it was full on military units policing us all today

with all of the carry is uniformed personnel often sometimes without any identifying insignia as it's paramilitary as well i'm vats it's that that's got members of the past and current defense establishment rather concerned the use of the military on the streets of d.c. now but also dull chums constant threats to invoke the insurrection act to take federal control of the national guard in states overriding governess. to potentially deploy active military professional soldiers on the streets of the states he's already doing that here in d.c. because we don't have a governor who can pretty much do whatever he wants and he's already threatening us to within an hour away basically has acted with a tree with with bennett super you can be on the streets of d.c. to police people on the streets in washington d.c. but that's what the defense establishment very concerning concerns 1st of all we had mark s. but the defense secretary on tuesday night distancing himself from the photo

opportunity at the church behind me. saying oh i didn't know there was a photo opportunity which of course was preceded by the national guard just cracking down on peaceful protest is that he was struggling a bit on wednesday morning when you said well actually i did kind of know there was a photo opportunity and you were going to the church why didn't it as a photo opportunity but then he gave a speech a few hours leza way said he was quite unequivocal he just said look this idea of the insurrection act is not something he's in favor of. i've always believed and continue to believe that the national guard is best suited for performing domestic support to civil authorities and the situations in support of local law enforcement. i say this not only as secretary defense but also as a former soldier and a former member of the national guard the option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations we are

not in one of those situations now. i do not support invoking the insurrection act . so that straw i'm getting criticized by is the current defense secretary and me want a full bit of inspectors waiting to. write to damascus now as he waited in the last few hours with an interview with the advantage and he's pretty scathing he says donald trump is the 1st president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the american people does not even pretend to try instead he tries to divide us we're witnessing the consequences of 3 years of this deliberate effort he goes on to defend the thousands of protesters on the streets he says we must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our constitution and then perhaps most startling lee he starts talking about nazi germany and talking about how the nazis tried to divide and rule germany clearly making an inference with donald trump that's not something you hear very often and polite company between a defense secretary and former defense secretary is president but we should be very

clear about what's happening here this is about the defense establishment being concerned about the use of the military on the streets of the united states not concerned about the militarization of the united states but if these defense secretary have decided over billions of dollars of military equipment going from the pentagon to local police forces which is a the local police have been studies on this national academy of sciences knows where basically little military units in themselves are routine police work down valls armored personnel carriers and the latest out of the out pentagon technology . and we've also seen how that's disproportionately affects black communities and leads to injury and death these defense secretaries are the ones who oversaw all those programs but the suggestion seems to be look this isn't part of the plan. we militarize the police but we draw the line there that actually they're also using the actual military on the streets of united states that appears to be what they're saying right now that's what seems to be the last straw all right she had thanks

very much indeed that she returns you there close to the white house washington d.c. let's whip over to the west coast of america this is l.a. is los angeles an aerial view of mass protests there everything pretty peaceful there to as it has been around most of the cities the united states where the press is taking place and on the ground here you can see people just marching on the streets holding placards again it's all very peaceful and we've also seen pictures previously from similar sort of scenes going on there people making their case but doing it in a peaceful manner. well a fatty a soft meister is a professor of law at the university of dayton school of law in ohio and he explains why it's tough to get a police officer convicted in the state of minnesota. very difficult to get a criminal charge very difficult to actually convict a police officer specially of 2nd degree murder so the next steps are going to be

the actual process the reading of the charge to advise the individual their rights and then you're going to have the motion process where they're going to say they're going to challenge they're going to suppress ability to close all these motions all these collimator a matter is that you have to do well far before you get to trial so i think in the end united states many jurors are more inclined to give police officers the benefit of the doubt and like maybe they would give an average us citizen where they think that a police officer is putting himself or herself in harm's way so let's give this individual the benefit of the doubt which they don't necessarily do for other other cool defendants and many times also to police officers don't have a record so you can't use someone's record against them if they were to testify but it is a it is a it is a high hurdle today they've only had they they've tried to prosecute in the state of minnesota 3 police officers for the crime of murder and they've only got one conviction so far well for us president barack obama has addressed the crisis

brought about by the death of george floyd he says the people of color have witnessed too much violence and call for progress on plans for for us i want to speak directly to the young men and women of color in this country. who has planned this so eloquently described have witnessed too much violence and too much. and too often some of the violence has come. from folks who were supposed to be serving and protect you. i want you to know that you matter i want you to know that your lives matter but your dreams matter. let's head now from derrick johnson who's president of the national association for the advancement of colored people that c n p and he says the new challenges will satisfy many but there are still many issues affecting the black community. but i think we now start a process that should have started to be good. we had

a dish good turning in that county who held the whole system hostage he said to the hostage at the base and nation hostage so i'm glad now that the state attorney general has been given the ability to step in we will see the process evolve. charges can be increased if more information is provided what the very minimum was starting the process to administer justice for the ford family and i think that's the most important thing we should keep focused on busting this staff. creates a functional role for people to begin to slowly retreat from the protests as it relates to this case now there may be other protests taking place around larger issues that are not national in scope to feed so we have a lot of restlessness across the country you have a lot of people who are experiencing economic insecurity the health pandemic. has

to be a bit a space where people have a lot of pent up energy and so the question is how can we funnel that in energy to november but then that will a see people understand that many issues that confront communities today is based on public policy punk state and credible and the way to address that is address those who are sitting in elected office and many of those individuals are on the ballot and november. well thousands of people have gathered in london in solidarity with protesters in the united states to say they're also marching against systemic racism in britain and mass gatherings are still banned under the u.k.'s coronavirus restrictions but the prime minister johnson said he understood the anger after george floyd's death and supported their right to protest i said baker was at the rally in london and says the protestors are also drawing attention to the racism in

the u.k. several 1000 people have turned up to show their support and solidarity for what's taking place in the united states but for people not just about what's happening in united states about it's about the racial inequalities here in the united kingdom that people are more likely to be stopped and searched there's been a number of deaths in police custody of people also just mark duggan who was shot and killed by police in 2011 like 2 riots have been same. thing just no justice no peace turned up at downing street which is the residence of the prime minister part of johnson said that he understood the anger and grief but not only that you like to see the world and in the unprecedented move police chiefs said that they are told that the death of george floyd and of asked for justice in the united states also acknowledged that more needs to be done in this country to tackle racism and hundreds of people in the german city of frankfurt came out to express their outrage over the killing of george floyd many held signs in support of social justice groups and chanted against racism. and in south africa solidarity protest

was held outside cape town's parliament to protest also showing support for the global black lives matter movements they call for action against police brutality at. but it was still ahead including. and did not one less of thousands that defy the law down in argentina to protest against femicide. the search continues 13 years on police say they have a new suspect in the case of the missing madeleine mccann. so hong kong's legislature is set to vote on a controversial bill that would make it a crime to disrespect the chinese national anthem despite widespread opposition probe aging politicians dominating the legislative council are expected to approve

the law once passed those who misuse or insult the anthem could be sentenced up to 3 years in prison the bacon coincides with the 31st anniversary of the tiananmen square crackdown and acts of its plan to defy a police ban to hold a vigil on the victims let's speak to across when katrina you joins us from beijing katrina tell us more about why the vigil has been cancelled in hong kong and what's been the reaction there. well the government says it's because of coronavirus reasons that the epidemic is far from over and it would be simply irresponsible to allow so many people tens of thousands potentially hundreds of thousands of people together in one spot victoria park where it's normally held at such close proximity but of course the other side of this is that the mormons the hong kong government and chinese china's central government a currently discussing a new national security law and this would ban any subversion of central government

power so in hong kong people are extremely concerned saying that this band of this vigil is simply a sign of things to come. of course in 1989 a massacre it was a very it's a political event a very symbolic but it's also a chance for people to mourn the lives estimated thousands of people who lost their lives for demanding more freedom more democratic rights from the chinese government and we have to remember that hong kong is the only place on chinese soil where people are allowed to remember chinaman square on the mainland nor mention is allowed any mention online is since it it's wiped from history books and quite literally younger generations of chinese are growing up not knowing anything about this gentleman square event so many people in hong kong very angry very very devastated that they're not allowed to remember and allowed to moon the lodge of those lost it's really struck a nerve but at the same time some are still calling for the vigil to be held there

going to they're planning to meet those evening at about 9 30 pm local time and for those who want to remember but don't want to turn up they say they're encouraged to light candles or perhaps join online vigils right meanwhile the distances a debate here controversial national anthem bill tell us more about that. that's right it's extremely sensitive day it seems here and those in hong kong this national anthem bill critics activists pro-democracy politicians in hong kong doing whatever they can to try to prevent it from being passed at the mormon right now as we speak hong kong legislators resuming the discussion of the building expected to talk about over the next few hours about 15 councillors are expected to give their comments and those opposed to it say it's it's an example of the central government or the beijing politicians trying to trample on freedom of expression here in hong

kong because many in hong kong do not identify with being chinese so when the chinese national anthem is played at times at sporting events or other kinds of events there are some people who brew the national anthem and if this law is put into place it would impose very harsh penalties for doing that more than 6000 dollars in terms of the penalty and up to 3 years in jail now per beijing politicians say that that's not what they're trying to do that this law is simply about respecting the national anthem and it's actually a reflection also of a similar law that was passed in the mainland in 2017 now many analysts say that it's inevitable that this law will be passed in hong kong because those against it simply do not have enough numbers to block it and pro-democracy. legislators are very keen to have a pass before the end of july which will be the end of the current legislative session. all right to katrina thanks very much indeed for that that's a picture in beijing to you there let's speak now to. rowena who she's

a professor of history at the chinese university of hong kong and author of the book tenement exiles voices of the struggle for democracy rowena welcome to the program. katrina just an extremely sensitive day for many in hong kong and it's actually. kind of triple pronged attack from the nothing national anthem security bill and also the clamp down on the vigils for tea and square. yes it's been a make good morning it's been this lived this life for many of us actually i think i've been communicating with students friends and carneys about what we're going to do because part of search time in 31 years there would be no candlelight ritual in hong kong i myself have been based in u.s. and canada for 2 decades writing and researching and teaching about a gentleman movement but at the kendall i ritual in victoria park in hong kong has become kind of like a beacon of light for those of us struggling in that case to keep that history and

a memory alive as kitchener mentioned early on that the chairman rogers sister not allowed to open one dead children so that the collective. efforts in victoria park in hong kong has been inspiring us to continue to fight for this years and it also shows the word and the region that this something that you cannot crash by with tanks and guns and jails desta human spirit that's our human desire and knowledge freedom and justice and truth and they still haven't given us that one yes after and and india and of course in the name of darius this year they they have bending . the candle eye which showed but people are asking my students are already asking me like what are the implications of artists new laws and national security law and banning of retore pakis it means that there are certain topics that we cannot write about anymore we cannot teach enemy and we cannot write thesis and papers anymore so soda concern is not just imagination or because rich people are paranoid but it

is based on our understanding of the track record to c.c.p. in their repression and suppression of history and also at distorting their memory and punishing those who are speak out a truth to power and that's been continue and the worst so it is or together during this time of the current virus when they refuse to have independent investigation when they when they punish people who speak. and then they. brain the victims and and eventually yes government what do you say to those students when they ask you about about the future and about what's happening and what kind of future they can expect as these crime downs well i guess they will just inevitably come in. well no it's been a continuous struggle as i mentioned i just moved back to hong kong last year and the moment i will. start it and there's the day 20 knock on my door the 1st week when i tree would want to do it and

a lock on my door and then they told me they share with me their day a spare ations for democracy as well as the of fear for doing what they were doing and they asked me to support them and i myself to have to have to ask myself because growing up in maine in china and working on this topic i don't want to pretend of saying that to say that i'm courageous i'm not scared and lost right and that's not true at all so i in 1809 i was at their age and i lived through that and when they came to look at my dog so i saw myself in them and it pains me to see they're 38 years after the younger generation in hong kong. they have tried so hard but they still were struggling with the same. fight and they were still undergoing the same fear that i had to live through or disappears and of course they that that was that was that in them or shall i tell them to keep on to fight you knowing the prices that one have to me or show i counted on to 2 to step back and just to

characterise that themselves and preserve themselves so this constant struggle that i have to live since i was there until or to wait but then i told them that i cannot tell a lot of people what to do but for me what i've been doing is to continue in our positions to defy it as best as long as that we still could do it. will find ways to express their protest but perhaps them in different ways from going out on the streets all the younger generations looking for what they can do. well i think that there were many ways to continue or not necessarily just tick to go straight to i mean with you is always easy to just be a hero in unbundle miniscule you saw that 0 history but is more difficult to be consistent and persistent and people often are asking me these days will after decant when i was your being bendis yes it mean that this normal can do a live video in the future i do not know what's going to happen but i i don't think

that what too it is going to happen with silence to people in hong kong because you sort of even in mainland china after channel mench the government before does crackdown and there's the consistent at the persistence and resistance that never stopped even under difficult searches and to say nothing about hong kong because don't forget that hong kong had to people ironically is thanks to the british colonial rule they had experienced freedom or dos years under the british rule so it is harder and you cannot just push people back to that because when they have leaf door light so i think hong kong is an open society for many years and people would have to own way to resist not just my students but the whole society to civil society forces are treated very strong here so they just like the victoria pact they may be able to take away the public space and we may not be able to get there to get to in sorry darragh to to show them to light candles but i think that

they cannot just sign and says and tonight we are going to like candles all over hong kong and to to collectively show people that we haven't forgotten and we wanted justice for the. victims and i hope that your light can goes with us to you ok really a fantastic good thing get your perspective on this that we do appreciate it thank you very much indeed ro marina and lee thank you thanks thanks. lebanon's money exchanges are back in. business after month long strike. out carter has managed to claim the top spot for food security the middle east and north africa. we got lots of sunshine to come across the korean peninsula and for japan area
