the u.s. and indeed around the world the house judiciary committee hearing said it was answering protesters calls for a fundamental change in the culture of law enforcement i'm here the action to make it. stop the pain of being far. george called for help and he was ignored please listen to the couch i'm making to you now to the cause of our family and the cars ringing out the streets across the world people of our backgrounds genders and races have come together to demand change on idiom on to george and make the necessary changes they make the law enforcement the solution well in just a few minutes we'll go live to our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat for reaction there to those hearings on capitol hill 1st to the capitol building and

our correspondent heidi castro heidi what's your reading of what we've been hearing so far because we still have some witnesses to go. that's right peter there are 12 witnesses who will be on this panel today which is a very large hearing the democrats started off with their star witness in a sense the brother of mr floyd philonous floyd who flew to washington straight from his brother's funeral yesterday and he shared a powerful opening statement in which he said that the pain of watching those excruciating almost 9 minutes during which the white police officer kneeled on his brother's neck killing him he said he wanted that pain to stop and it would only stop if his brother's death were not in vain we're also seeing a sense of competition of narratives coming from the republican members of this committee we know 3 of these 12 invited witnesses were invited by republicans and just on the stand momentarily ago was one of the republican witnesses angela

underwood jacobs she is an african-american who lost her brother who was a federal police officer just a month ago he was shot while in the line of duty and she was explaining to the committee hope is ition that yes george floyd's death was wrong yes there are these to be a conversation about were formed racial reconciliation addressing racism in the country but she said that this idea of defunding the police was ridiculous we heard that echoed from the republican ranking member as well who said abolishing the police or defunding the police was ludicrous and that well's down to really the semantics of this moment peter there is a raging debate now with activists on the left for their calls for defunding the police and being greeted on the right by skepticism different interpretations of

what that term means from the right we're hearing that meaning abolish the police department in in totality of anarchy. on the streets however meant much of the laughter saying that that's simply not the case but rather defunding the police means shifting around city budgets we're also seeing the minneapolis this call to dismantle a valve by the city council there to dismantle the police department so there's a lot of nuance that has still yet to be explored fully about what types of reforms are on the horizon what we do know is that this that legislation that the committee members are looking at now does not to fund the police rather it would create a national database tracking police misconduct and it would be it would make it easier to hold police officers accountable for police brutality in both civil and criminal proceedings it is likely to pass the democratic controlled house once it makes it past that whether or not it's taken up by the republican controlled senate though is an open question heidi thanks very much let's go live to the white house

and my colleague. kimberly with new orleans is there potential here for the citizens to get forgotten about because it occurs at this distance it occurs to me that on the one hand you've got republican politicians saying look defunding the police scrapping police forces that's a nonsense that would happen and yet the trumpet ministration the trump family on twitter seem to be spinning it as being we're going to lose the police there's going to be chaos and carnage if the democrats get what they want. it's interesting you bring that up the u.s. president tweeting to that effect in just the last few moments saying that regarding to funding our great police this radical left agenda is not going to happen to be clear this is something that is being talked about what it means different things depending on who you talk to well some believe this means defunding the police altogether others believe it means taking

a portion of the police budget and investing it in communities putting in sort of ports in the social realm in the economic realm so there is the possibility that this could still happen it is important to know that it could happen at a variety of different levels at local levels now for the president he has been putting together his own proposal we know that he sent up his son in law jared cushion or on tuesday as well as his chief of staff to discuss legislation in the republican controlled senate that would compete with the house legislation controlled by democrats but they believe that there is some common ground but the nuance in the legislation on the republican side is that they believe supporting the police as well as supporting community communities of color is something that can co-exist and so that's what they're working on and in terms of what the ordinary american believes there seems to be room for kind of

a partnership of ideas there to what we've seen across the board is more than 70 percent of americans feeling that there needs to be change according to most polls so there is pressure on both chambers in the u.s. congress now in the midst of all of this we should point out not only re expecting to hear from kelly machinating the press secretary at 800 g.m.t. but the u.s. president will be taking this conversation on the road tomorrow he will be heading to dallas he'll be meeting with faith leaders he'll also be meeting with law enforcement officials as he continues to press for legislation that would. not only lift up communities of color but also acknowledge that in the eyes of the white house of this president the vast majority of law enforcement officials are doing a good job but there is a need to root out injustice and police brutality in the on the part of some police officers in the united states kimberly thank you very much for joining us here on skype on the news from new york city is vincent warren he's a civil rights attorney and the executive director of the center for constitutional

rights and swore and welcome to al-jazeera so chokeholds have been outlawed that is undoubtedly good news but how jura bull will this legislation can this legislation be when it goes to the white house and is signed off presumably becomes law. there are a couple of pieces to this peter and i think number one is that both the democrats and the republicans are missing the point of this moment and while i think the democrats are trying to move forward some reforms around accountability and things like that the the moment they're missing is that what people are calling for is centering the experience of black people with the police killed murdered and maimed for generations in fact i was involved in a chokehold case 30 years ago 30 years from now when we had this discussion we're still having it now so the reforms are important but they're not the whole thing if we were centering the black experience we would be talking about things like in

cities like chicago in cities like detroit there are more police in schools then there are school counsellors and schools that's what the defined and abolition movement is about it's about shifting the resources so that we are not stuck in black communities with having the entity that's going to respond to the social challenges that we have being in the police department and that relates to i think the hard part about getting this legislation passed i think the democrats are on the right track but have it largely wrong because they don't want to talk about an important thing like defunding the police from the perspective of the black communities the republicans seem to be hell bent on saying if we get rid of the police we're going to have chaos in the streets which is not true you just have to look at a place like camden new jersey where they dismantled their police department and the crime rate went down or even in new york city when my organization one a case against stop and frisk in new york city and while the mayor and everybody in

the police said that the crime what was going to shoot up it actually went down so with those 2 problems i have no there's no doubt in my mind that the president is going to use this as a political problem to to boost his base and push back against that the more we talk about how black lives matter and how the. lisa being brutal the more the president is going to talk about how police matter and that if we get rid of the police it's going to be ok when you talk there vincent about what we're seeing at the moment being part of the thing horses in your mind the whole thing ought to ask you the question a different way what is the force here break it down for us because if you've got someone like john lewis you know who knows about these things saying he is stunned he is amazed because he's never seen so many white people walking cheek by jowl with so many black people and people of color so that's a problem and that's why you end up can i suggest to you with a u.s. president walling himself into the white house. yes look for that of course the

tapping on the street is exactly that and it's mirrored around the world in london in paris in south korea there was a protest that what we're seeing is that folks are rallying to the support of black people listening to black people's experience and saying this past stop that is a massive massive force and the only thing that the president has going for him is his base which is relatively small but powerful in the united states and the narrative that if we don't continue to invest in police departments black people are going to kill white people that's essentially what the discussion is and it's never settle with them although it's been a little bit more subtle now than usual. but i think the end of at the end of the day what people are beginning to realize is that the only reason why not enforcement exists to this day to the extent that it does is to the extent that

people can continue to convey a narrow narrative of criminality amongst black people so the idea that someone like george lord floyd everybody in congress is going to say that was a horrible thing but nobody in congress is going to say that that is endemic in systemic and it's been happening for many many years on our video ok that becomes a problem that we have to resolve systemically and not just with policy or are you however saying that there's a chance that the legislation i mean surely even since it can't it can't say go the save the same way as the brady bill you know the closest that your critics would say the critics of the u.s. would say the closest the u.s. has ever got to meaningful gun control legislation died in committee it was talked literally to death in committee she didn't get gun control legislation meaningful gun control legislation the folks with the brady bill are you saying that this legislation may actually go no place if only because you mentioned the election

there if only because mr biden is largely associate suit with. legislation in the 1990 s. which is part of the back story of the negativity and the narrative that we're experiencing right now. we have a button that critiques of the united states are absolutely valid about it particularly around gun control and they're also valid particularly about around anti-black racism and how it's expressed through law enforcement in our country we essentially are trying to pull ourselves out of our own punitive instinct we solve every problem particularly in this administration the 1st action is militarism the 2nd action is law enforcement and we double down on that that is a problem for our relationship in the world as folks on al-jazeera will know that is a problem for our relationship in the united states with each other and particularly for black and brown people in the united states i don't feel confident that this

that this congress will be able to move forward a meaningful bill without watering it down with compromise because we're not wrestling with the fundamental question if you think about gun control it's an easy answer but it's gets complicated because of the interest the gun lobby interests the narratives around the 2nd amendment and your right to bear arms that complicates that and it makes it feel like a step forward which would be eliminating guns or a step forward which would be like reducing and eliminating. police departments that are violent and that are seizing in black communities ok makes those things feel like they're at it like a loss rather than a win and that's the problem that very briefly vincent i mean history always bends it always arcs like lights around to start towards justice ultimately if you and i have this conversation again on november the 4th will you be saying to me that your president reelected president perhaps donald trump is on the right side of history

or not. when we have this conversation on november the 4th 20 years from now you and i will be wondering and marveling how we ever allowed the police to act the way that we did because we will have abolished and changed the structure of law enforcement november 4th is a much shorter and i think that the path to the presidency is very small waypoint on the in the arc of history president trump will be on the wrong side of it my concern is that the democrats and the rest of the population will be pushing towards the right side vincent really good to talk to you thank you so much for giving us your insight here on the news hour thank you peter appreciate it in seattle washington hundreds of protesters streamed into city hall to stage a sit in they were allowed in by a city councillor. demanding the resignation of the mayor and that the police force should be defunded there was anger after officers

used pepper spray on protesters at the weekend after the mayor and police chief and banned the use of tear gas. peaceful protests across the u.s. have continued including in minneapolis where george floyd died the city council there has ordered officers to stop using chokeholds and is working on restructuring the entire police department. well floyd was raid delayed to rest on tuesday and a funeral service in his hometown of houston in texas he was hailed by family and friends as an ordinary man transformed by fate into the cornerstone of a movement from houston is john and. george floyd's tragic journey ends in a houston cemetery but across the u.s. the movement he inspired continues a montage of demonstrations in floyd's name plate is his funeral displays his legacy and inspires a call to action from civil rights leaders god took the average that it's down. and made him the cornerstone of

a movement that's called save the whole wide work friends and family remember the man they knew is perry or big floyd. and. i think. this is not just. me. right here oh i'm thick come on baby you said if you it's not much good it's the life of the man who died beneath the policeman's need was celebrated by members of congress and a presidential candidate who spoke directly to floyd's daughter giana now is the

time for racial justice that's the easternmost give to our children when they ask why. because when there is justice for george florey. truly be on our way to racial justice in america and then she said she. changed the world the funeral followed memorials in minneapolis and north carolina and a viewing in houston attended by thousands who remembered his final words i can't breathe in the weeks months years after these people have left this ceremony george best remembered as. someone who transformed the world by what he did and by what was done to him some who didn't make the invitation list inside said they were outside because they're concerned about the next generation. and you know if i did. so when you hear stories

like the one about mr floyd where does it make you think. for. george floyd was buried next to his mother in the place he once called home your family's gone miss you joyce. put jordan nation is going to always remember your name he left behind children a family and a movement they hope will end the pattern of unarmed african americans dying at the hands of police john hendren al-jazeera houston. the statue of a 17th century english slave trader that was pulled down in the u.k. city of bristol and thrown into the harbor there was going to be retrieved and then placed into a museum and the people put down the bronze monument to it with colston during an anti-racism protest on sunday the statues presence in the city has long been controversial colston's a member of the royal african company has transported around 80000 people to slaves

a mutual 2 state solution or a force that has more now from the meeting from west jerusalem. it was standing firm in that he was restating the german and indeed the european union position that unilateral annexation would not be supported would be seen as an illegal act and one that threatens the 2 state solution however he didn't talk explicitly about what germany or indeed the e.u. might do if nonetheless israel went ahead he said said he wouldn't attach any price tags at this moment he didn't believe in doing policy via threats and he talked about how there would be no diminution whatsoever of the friendly bilateral ties between israel and germany as for his opposite number here in israel the forms the new foreign minister gabi ashkenazi he took repeatedly about israel wanting to proceed responsibly in full concert with the united states and also talked about

the need to preserve peace treaties with israel's neighbors a clear reference there to jordan and jordan's warning against annexation saying that while not threatening to tear up the peace treaty between jordan israel saying that at least it would reconsider the relationship and so giving some sense that he retains his position of certainly compared to the prime minister benjamin netanyahu skepticism about going all out on an expression unilaterally straight away but it does seem that the plans that as an yahoo has are beginning to crystallize. the organization of islamic cooperation also says it rejects israeli policies that adversely affect palestinians the oh i see says unilateral measures like an expansion of settlements undermine any possibility for a 2 state solution and threaten stability across the region. 4 russian nuclear

conflicts have been neglected by the international community the media and even go in those it is dealing with 3 major problems 1st of all the refugee crisis in central african area especially from central african republic and it's also suffering it's all in attacks or top suffering attacks from bora and then there is the conflict between security forces and separatists in parts of cameroon republic which has created a lot of refugees in those countries. the head of the u.n. human rights commission says the surrender of a sudanese militia leader is extremely significant kushayb faces war crimes charges at the international criminal court related to the conflict in darfur ousted sudanese president omar al bashir is also wanted by the i.c.c. for his role in the conflict in darfur. well just today off the coast shape surrender sudan's military has closed all rows and entrances leading to its

by the former military and by the whole ruling party rather to curb the rebellion and therefore and that earned him. the arrest warrants for work crimes and crimes against humanity in the western region of dark or so they are concerned that people would come out not only because he surrendered himself as the i.c.c. said but because they are now concerned that other people involved will also be targeted by the i.c.c. including former president ahmed bashir who has an arrest an arrest warrant issued against. now the sudanese anticorruption committee has confiscated a bank account billowing to obama but it's also closed 5 foreign exchange bureau used to fund his former regime court handed bashir a 2 year sentence in december for corruption and also faces trials and investigations over the killing of protesters last year while he was embassy in libya says the military escalation in the city of could cause another humanitarian crisis forces loyal to the un recognized government and trying to push out the

floyd's brother has told a few questions the committee they should be making sure that the death of his brother will not be in vain pliny's floored floyd has just testified before the house judiciary committee on capitol hill the death of his brother in police custody sparked 2 weeks of protests across the u.s. and around the world. to example he was killed george floyd was buried yesterday during the funeral service he was hailed the man whose death will change the world his death sparked protests in the united states and globally too. and other news the german foreign minister take on mars has expressed serious concerns about israel's plans to annex illegal settlements you know that west bank e.u. also opposes the annexation proposal. brazil's supreme court has ordered the government to start publishing its total coronavirus casualty figures once again now the president also not his government was accused of hiding the truth when it took the data offline his priyanka gupta. brazil has the world's 2nd highest number

of corner virus infections but many of us see as well as a pandemic they are also fighting an information war after a weekend of aprile over a government decision to stop publishing or fishel tolls of the number of cases on deaths the government is making the public again after being ordered by the supreme court but many don't feel reassured me and i am scared to death i'm scared to death it seems the government is hiding the truth they're not letting the truth come out and opinion i can hear. in my opinion the reality is that it's all a smokescreen like during the times of war that we had in the past but today it is a war of information when the government says it was trying to do the like most published we are looking for the real number under reporting on the never talked about or what reporting we were afraid of the underreporting president jabal snarl has repeatedly don't play the outbreak and says he's not considering pulling president out of the world health organization he says the world gordie has lost

his credibility there as a reason why the american president has left why he stopped contributing to the w.h.o. preserve and think about this as soon as this problem with the pandemic is over to seriously think about whether or not to leave because for us no longer inspires confidence but the victims of the outbreak say politicizes aren't helping people face up to the reality of the pandemic. governors just keep fighting between themselves to see who's better they're not seeing how people are suffering brazil has started easing its locked on restrictions but somehow the experts are warning that the number of interactions expected to search and the operator has yet to pick . up the disease. well more and more countries are lifting coronavirus restrictions to restart their economies and in some areas that's happening before the outbreak has even reached a peak india has eased the world's biggest but it's reported nearly $10000.00 new

cases a day in recent days the world health organization is urging pakistan to impose a 2 week lockdown after the number of infections there supposed 100000 in indonesia where there are fears of a 2nd wave after a record increase in new cases there 2 restrictions also being relaxed and in both brazil and mexico because with 19 illnesses are rising rapidly lockdown measures are being eased as we were hearing in that report joining us now from london is clare when an assistant professor of global. health policy at the l.s.e. school of economics and political science professor when i welcome to the news hour there is so much anxiety and confusion as well around the world about lockdowns and about easing lockdowns why is it our politicians aren't doing more to convince us that it's the best thing to do so i think of lots of things happening i think for example some governments are feeling under pressure to open up their economy

perhaps sooner than that maybe are epidemiologically ready as in the case numbers are not low enough but i think because if you have global media access if you are someone that you can see in the world opening up that you also want to open up when you want to get back to work and get back to i mean there's also tensions in different places about who you know who's being provided with financial support during this knock down here is not and how that being a valid how that's affecting government decision making and you know can they have who keep the lockdown going and you know the same time ensure that all their populations are eating them and you know have access to food and have access to basic necessities that they need ok just to be clear in your mind when we talk about say latin america being pushed to the brink which it is clearly with the exception of one country and only one year ago i could you're a guy who's done everything you know is the gold standard of sealing itself off if you will for a couple of weeks are we saying that latin america is being pushed to the brink

because of the footprint that 19 still is giving us or is it because of people like mr paulson are 0 who seems to be in a perpetual state of denial. i don't think you can say a one size fits all approach i think we're seeing governments in latin america take very different approaches to how to manage this crisis so in brazil for example we have a complete denial fighting federal government and we have a very mixed response from state level governors minutes polities where help that helps you know made at the local level too to really understand you know some of them are taking it seriously and trying to put lockdowns and others are protected helpful imports are is a need i'm thinking it's not a big deal that's very different to somewhere like el salvador would have been a complete come down on all activity in a complete lockdown but that's also important to contention question or civil liberties if they are the tainting people in detention and you are. there we would be seeing great different responses as government administrations have to weigh out

their their economic responsibilities their public health one 3rd to the population is there something else as well here that's perhaps a negative career just about to go live with the next it's aeration of the track and trace so when some countries are having problems with their track and trace apps actually working you know underpinned by we easing restrictions south korea is one vaulting step ahead of where the rest of the world is struggling to maintain a position right now. absolutely and i think it shows that you know we're all if we were every country in the world about just now facing the same same battle they're just at different stages of their battle and i think we should be and you know globally we should be looking to people who are further ahead of us in terms that they have to be logical kind of to see what can we be doing with matter where you are in the world what can your government now be doing to try and mitigate or anticipate some of the challenges that go in to come ahead to try and prevent
