everybody coming out. to personalize. this talk. thank you so much. for coming out what. all the families will be today. i think. there. are. rather. than that. i think you know we will just. we would not walk alone. as $100.00 mentioned earlier former police officer derrick shelvin has made his 1st court appearance he's facing charges including 2nd degree murder biol has been set at more than a $1000000.00 the dog named followed the proceedings in minneapolis. it was a quick preliminary hearing as they usually are chauvelin gave perfunctory answers

when called on and the judge gave the prosecution everything they asked for the judge set bail at $1250000.00 without any conditions but if show when can come up with 1000000 dollars he could get out on bail as long as he abides by the following conditions he does not leave the state of minnesota without permission he surrenders his gun permits he does not have any contact with george floyd's family and he does not attempt to work in law enforcement or any kind of security job shoguns charges were upgraded last week once these minnesota attorney general took over the case the 2nd degree murder charge in the state of minnesota means that the prosecution would have to prove that jovan killed george floyd intentionally or that he killed floyd while committing another felony it is predicted that the

prosecution will take that latter strategy the attorney general has already said that this will be a difficult case to get a conviction on he is asking for the public's patience but of course protesters have 0 patience especially when lives are at stake. democrats in the u.s. house of representatives have drafted that just nation to change the way police departments woke some members knelt 8 minutes and 46 seconds before announcing the proposal that's how long floyd was pinned to the ground the law seeks to ban chokehold to expand the use of body cameras sent created film subjects of police misconduct the legislation does not demand the defunding or dismantling of police departments and some protesters have called for president donald trump says he would never allow that to happen. and i'm very proud of them. there will be defining there will be dismantling of our police and there's likely

to be a dispensing of our police our police have been letting us live in peace so we want to make sure we don't have any bad actors in there and sometimes you'll see some horrible things like we witnessed recently but 99 i say 99.9 but let's go with 99 percent of them are great great people and they've done jobs that are record setting record setting. france's bans police from using chokehold staring at arrest the interior minister says the method won't be taught anymore the french government has come under increasing pressure to address police brutality and racism or than 20000 people protested across france on saturday. while the $260.00 rohingya refugees have arrived in malaysia despite efforts to stop them police intercepted their boats off the island of langkawi reported to have been at sea for nearly 4 months hundreds of others are fit to be stranded for

so is live for us now in kuala lumpur for us what more do we know about this boat and about the refugees who were on board. well we know the marine police acted on a tip off and they discovered the boat early on monday morning now they said they were preparing to turn the boat back out to international waters when they discovered that the boat had been deliberately damaged to such an extent that it was no longer sea worthy so they detained the road instead now they also said they found the body of the dead woman on board the boat now nearly 270 of them have since been taken to a government camp and we've also heard a senior minister say just a couple of hours ago at a press conference that malaysia does not intend for these are refugees to stay in malaysia they've they want the if they did leave from cops as bizarre in bangladesh malaysia said it's going to make preparations to send them back to bangladesh and

if they didn't they want to speak to the u.n. h.c.r. that's the u.n. refugee agency to find a 3rd country to resettle these people now we've heard in the last 2 months from activists and also rights groups about their concerns about how there could be more boats drifting in the andaman sea and the bay of bengal they would either have set sail from bangladesh or neon model where they were being persecuted these rights groups have also expressed concerns about the welfare of the people on board these boats we saw in april groups of all hundreds of massey aged refugees being helped ashore by bangladesh authorities and survivors of that boat journey talked about how they were starved they were dehydrated some of them were beaten by the human traffickers and witnesses saw people who had died during the journey being thrown overboard now we don't know the conditions of these people who have been detained in malaysia but if the past instances are any examples then they would have

also survived an equally harrowing journey for us what is malaysia's policy on and on undocumented migrants and refugees in general. well malaysia does not recognize refugees is not a signatory to the un convention relating to the status of refugees now there are about 180000 refugees here registered with the un refugee agency in malaysia and about half of that number are routing are refugees but they exist in a sort of grey area they have no official status so they're not allowed to send their children to school and they are not allowed to work legally so they're vulnerable to exploitation now malaysia has also closed its borders since march 18th to stop the spread of corona virus and it's also used that justification to turn back working boats but this is not the 1st time that malaysia has turned back

or attempted to push back boats in 2015 when thousands of rango were trying to escape from myanmar by sea southeast asian countries including malaysia turned by dozens of boats and more recently in april about a boat load of about $200.00 refugees the refugees were not allowed to land in malaysia they were pushed out to sea after authorities said they had given them water and food so that is how malaysia views refugees the really essentially viewing them as undocumented migrants and recently as well there's been a rise in xenophobic sentiment against her hand in other undocumented migrants and the government has been sending mixed messages with some officials urging people to be more tolerant and others issuing statements reminding undocumented migrants that they have no status here in this country think that of their fans floyd live from kuala lumpur. some breaking news now iran has announced it will execute

a man it says helps the u.s. assess the nation's top general car some sort of money a judiciary spokesman said an iranian citizen gave information about sort of moneys whereabouts to the cia and the israeli intelligence agency mossad sort of money was killed by a u.s. drone strike in iraq in january for more on the story let's bring in zain at bus ravi who is in tehran zain just remind our viewers of what happened to your money how do we get to this point. well kim as you said he was killed in a u.s. drone strike back in january along with a senior iraqi militia leader and also the money was an incredibly popular military leader chior in iran seen by many people in the country as sort of clean from a lot of the political problems that the domestic leadership had experienced he was head of the lead quds force responsible for the revolutionary guards missions abroad basically responsible for iran's foreign military assets and their

operations in places like syria and places like iraq and he had been a pivotal leader in terms of bringing down the obviously state of iraq in the levant the fight that i saw in iraq and syria as far as iran it iranian assets in the few we're concerned now in terms of the case that we're talking about today this is the 1st we've really heard of this man his name is mahmoud and so be much him and it appears that he has been condemned by the iranian government for word espionage on has been on charges now espionage charges are something very figured here in iran by iranians and foreigners alike it is a weapon that the government wields anytime it suspects someone participating in activity that it deems inappropriate so these are charges that are faced by many people very often but one of the things you have to keep in mind with this execution. is that there isn't

a great deal of transparency when it comes to anything that the to sherry does specifically when it comes to espionage related cases so this is the 1st time we've heard of this man's name many journalists here said that as well there wasn't even public information about any ongoing cases into solo money step but they say that this gentleman had passed by the information about the codes worse and about salute moneys movement specifically to israeli and american intelligence officials said helped in his targeted killing back in january we have to keep in mind. that the judiciary in iran has come under criticism by human rights organizations for not being transparent enough and not giving defendants the appropriate legal help that they need to defend themselves so as we move forward with this as this story moves forward many people will be thinking that there's just not enough information about this case and about this man's execution but nonetheless the judiciary nonsense today that they have sentenced him to death for involvement in the killing of general hossam salaam thanks for that update. from tehran. still to come

here on al-jazeera we speak to a palestinian boy who survived an off an attack that killed his parents that is right there is due to be sentenced. and words of caution from new zealand's prime minister after she declared her country free of coronavirus and. how it got some nasty thunderstorms rumbling away across parts of central you see the crowd here just around the southeast of france pushing into italy affecting a good part of the alps as well not the area of low pressure here big and thundershowers could lead to some flash flooding large hail as well further east we got this weather system also bringing some rather heavy rain into that east side of europe just around the baltic states pushing down so that eastern side of poland

ahead of that look at 826 celsius in moscow 31 in kiev the heat actually extends its way right up to parts of the arctic circle so some bobby conditions going on here as well the showers continue across central europe as we go on through what choose day down into the balkans further west says a little drier some wet weather there into southern france but this was the weather that we have around the british isles will sink further south which as we go through wednesday though only 15 degrees celsius on a blustery showery day in london for wet and stay there the show is continuing to central parts of showers continue further east and the heat continues across that western side of russia and across a good part of eastern ukraine northern parts of africa stay fine and dry we got the usual showers there plus west africa all the way to liberia. but. you know isolating times the listening post cuts through the

noise the. the looking at another side of this story not the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact it's reality and you have. exposing the optics try to manipulate the rhetoric and claim but they cannot manipulate the fires listening post your it's like going to the media which is the era. you're watching al-jazeera her reminder of our top stories this are thousands of mourners have been paying their respects to george floyd out of a moral and houston texas that's where he grew up his family says it will continue

to fight for justice for the funeral will take place later on tuesday. iran has announced it will execute a man it says helped the u.s. assassinate its top general qassam sort of money it's accusing an iranian citizen of telling the cia and israel's intelligence agency about suit about his whereabouts. more than $260.00 rohingya refugees have arrived in malaysia despite efforts to stop them the boat was intercepted off the island of langkawi have reportedly been at sea for nearly 4 months hundreds more feared trapped at sea . north korea is threatening to cut communication with south korea state news agency says it will close a hotline as a 1st step towards ending all contact pyongyang wants seoul to stop defect is sending propaganda leaflets over the border south korea's unification ministry is urging pyongyang to keep communications open from a bright isn't so says relations have been going backwards for months. certainly

for the south korea this is being regarded as a very serious setback into korean relations we've had hints that things have been moving in these this kind of direction in recent weeks attacks from the north are being getting particularly bellicose and then last week we had direct threats from north korea that they were going to close down this liaison office that exist in the border city of case on which we north and south if south korea didn't stop these groups of defectors as they often do releasing these balloons that float across the d.m.z. with north korea carrying propaganda messages against the north it is something which always outrages north korea and they have now used this a stent simply as the reason why they are cutting off these lines of communication interestingly when they made this threat last week the south korean north already has moved very quickly within a matter of a few hours in trying to bring in some legislation to make it harder for these

groups to fly balloons so it does seem as though the south koreans realize that we were at some sort of tipping point while they have the north koreans are now seem to be carrying through on this threat to cut all these lines of communication are these lines of communication most of them have been established since 2017 which is when the relations between north and south were at their lowest ebb and it means that if they go through with this threat to cut this last line of communication today tuesday the only means of direct communication between north and south would be by megaphone across the barbed wire which is put this back in the bag old bad old days of 2017 but what of course we don't have is the same level of tension because of the nuclear missile testing with south korea will certainly hope this does not have all the return to. libya's national oil corporation says an armed force which it did not identify as entered an oil field in the south and demanded employees shut it down in a statement the company told its workers not to obey those orders the hamada

pipeline running from oil field reopened on sunday after being closed by fight isn't january or lord holy $5000.00 forces seize the fields during an offensive early last year. one of the other head joins me now live from tripoli for more so what more can you tell us about about the storming of this oil field. welcome nor now until this moment to the affiliation of that are much group as the national oil corporation does the state oil for are opposed to that. group forces another closure of shut our oil field the country's it biggest oil field about 700 kilometers of the capital tripoli then he seems to be very concerned about the consequences of this force its closure especially it says that

why the have they have conducted that closure and would it clear tell us how important it is in shaping what is happening on the ground in libya will. reveal news as you know kim out of the bag borne of libya's national income and it's it's in the heart of every conflict in libya the oil because libya relies on the oil revenues for everything for imports and for salaries to pay the citizens so is very strategic in libya the country relies on oil revenues for for salaries and for funds. now the oil christian area in

a sense where libya is under the control of forces loyal to war of all of the family for have to also all the oil fields in the south and as you know when have forces launching a military campaign 2 years ago to take control of the oil fields in the south of libya and also the move to the west to take control of the feel and our oil fields to put pressure on the internationally recognized government based in tripoli so. oil fields and oil installations play a major role in this conflict. thank you for that update there from a head live from tripoli. the afghan government has released another $250.00 taliban prisoners bring in the total to more than $3000.00 it's part of the doha agreement the u.s. taleban deal signed in february stipulated that the afghan taliban set free 1000

his family says he saw more that he wants to remember israeli settler i mean on been you leader was convicted of 3 charges of murder attempted murder and arson the court said he's carried out a terrorist attack but acquitted him of belonging to a terrorist organization. around maybe middle of the civil sentencing won't mean much to me as it won't bring my family back or reunite them with. them for years but i hope that it serves as a deterrent for settlers many here say the killings are the worst crimes to have been committed by israeli settlers in recent years they say settlers have the support of israel's army and judicial system and that their presence in the occupied west bank is a crime in itself settlements are considered illegal under international law israeli settlers are tried in civil court unlike palestinians who undergo military trials the suspected killer of eyeshot robbie's under house arrest as the court
