2:03 am
there are lots of folks aeration to come back there and this a ram but as i said this is the widest scale operation so far. and of course a reality i mean there and what makes the difference is 'd that before turkey used to do a play should be targeting a specific area area but this stunt its multiple area and to some attendants upgrade should come back to by the turkish forces that's why it is why they're scared and surprisingly 'd just 'd 2 days ago turkish intelligence chiefs comfy down was in back that he paid a visit to back that so. presumably they might the turkish intelligence chiefs also might have a talk about how turkey is to use the p.k. platform from the other side of its border. because according to turkish defense
2:04 am
minister straight men and operations come back safe and to protect the borders for it border for the border security and so far there is no reaction that we have heard there from the kurdish regional government or iraqi government from back by the force it is expected that side would call them the operation and it is saying that it is 5 a lay think the iraqi oil but i have 9 lined up this a we have. a we have got the turkish military has targeted. my age it is made as media defense a way as by the kurdistan workers party p cake and this league is defending me as is actually a euphemism used by the p.k. k. for that case. to explain a meaning the findings around come the mountain including iran
2:05 am
$650.00 villages and those days we asked our mines are in the control of the baghdad government evac to central government nor the kurdish government and that's why the turkish military from time to time 'd there is that's coming by the other side of the border the turkish military telling conduct operations against the p.k. case and what we know with that those every as 'd important areas for the p.k. case comment chip for them to say only that on the line for us from assemble a post or you will continue watching frank i think thank you senator. a large protests are continuing across the united states as the fatal police shooting of another black man stokes more outrage following the death of george floyd body. by atlanta police shows the moment that officers approached brooks on friday night and asked him to take a sobriety test police say a struggle broke out after he failed that test and grabbed an officer before he was
2:06 am
shot the chief of police has since resigned and one officer has been fired. a makeshift memorial honoring has been set up at the wendy's fast food restaurant where that fight took place it's led to new protests against police brutality in the city including the burning of the restaurant on saturday night else where large black lives matter protests have been held in new york and in los angeles demonstrators have been gathering now for weeks demanding a change to policing practices in the u.s. and also around the world well let's get the latest now from andy gallagher he's been watching developments for us from miami and more details are emerging about this atlanta shooting adding fuel to this growing fire. yeah i mean this happened on friday night initially we only saw mobile phone video but now we've got a whole raft of body cam footage footage from the wendy's restaurant where this whole to cation took place and you've got the condemnation of not just the men of
2:07 am
atlanta but all the soul so the district attorney some of the council people saying that use of deadly force in this case was simply unnecessary one of the central questions being that if the mr brooks was not african-american how would the police have treated him and now as for the firing of the chief of police of the city of atlanta and the officer who discharged his weapon that really isn't damping down the enthusiast for reform across the entire country in fact 2 civil rights groups in atlanta saying it's just purely symbolic that the chief of police has been removed from her post she still working for the city of atlanta they want had gone entirely but they are not happy with just these firings and resignations because they see a far deeper problem a systemic problem of racism within the united states police force so i think the death of mr brooks and it wasn't really needed because the death of george floyd really sparked all of this nor lots of other people that have gone through this
2:08 am
these kinds of actions of police brutality it really made people even more determined to call for police reform and now many police forces across the united states are already reforming they're doing things like banning cho calls in new york they're saying they will release the records of police officers who've had disciplinary problems but that doesn't go deep enough for many of the people that are out in the streets from coast to coast they don't want to see procedural things changed they want to see. they want to see the racism within the police force tackled a very deep level and of course this talk of you know taking the budgets from these police forces and using some of the money for social welfare programs for perhaps paying for social workers to go out with the police when they're dealing with people with. well health problems but their momentum here is still gathering place and it's been 3 weeks since george floyd died when an officer police met me on george floyd's nick for close to 9 minutes and a gallagher there watching all these developments for us from miami thank you very
2:09 am
much andy well we can now speak to tiffany williams roberts she's the community engagement and richmond building council at the southern center for human rights and she joins us now from atlanta thank you for being with us tiffany we've seen the anger growing on the streets there in advance even at wendy's set on fire but we've also seen some pretty swift action from what already is in responding to this shooting so what sentiment there like today what we're seeing in the community this is tremendous sadness and grief and sometimes anger we have to remember that this issue of section violence in the country. might be welcome our young. women now there have been. well we're seeing communities all over the country including. their folks over there at a boiling point why more of them reform communities watching information and that means that we have to take very seriously the ways in which we deal with rules
2:10 am
governing not only police officers every. tiffani you say this isn't a new issue this is obviously a very deep seated lot i was talking to one of the co-founders of the black labs masham reprinted in atlanta last night and she was telling me that there's a real push while they're certainly pushing for the defunding of the police there i mean given george's history do you think that that's the right approach to deal with the systemic racism there or does more need to be done what needs to happen. and certainly taking money from police forces that cause crime to communities and invest that money and resources that the community is absolutely essential right now in the city of atlanta so a woman on the rise with a black woman landmark and initiated a campaign that resulted in a fast. train to defund the city jail reality resources and even that way and yes and our feeling that when the same way that we repurchasing our g.l.
2:11 am
we're shutting down the jail we invested in the form and other things we need to support organizes on the ground who are willing to tell you what the new news and millions of dollars do for whom you. own and so harm after spending races and that is in our thing i do want to ask you about erica shields the police chief when she resigned very rapidly but i recall she was also the one who cracked down on those 6 officers who attacked those 2 black students during a protest there a couple of weeks ago how is she being regarded then. the sheriff has a very rocky history we're going to here in atlanta just last year march 31st an organizer named after shaq and atlanta police department and there wasn't this national spotlight on atlanta at the time and so she feels responsible that none of us was very lackluster addition to that years before examining the. awakened by police officers shot in the head as he sped away and here could feel
2:12 am
the weight. of the family blaming other state agencies for their failure she waited a court releasing they were revealed that the officers were just on. how they feel mr phillips and so while i am glad that she's being held accountable in some ways for the point that mr brooks we don't believe she should have a place in. the trial of the community which would require the transformational change that. we've been talking about this growing anger i mean last night we saw the interstate blocked arrests on the road presumably protests are set to continue for some time it does feel like the country is becoming even more divided yet the conversation around race is really about coming together so how do you navigate that. well i think that sometime from. maybe listen when i'm thinking new communities are galvanized in ways that they
2:13 am
never had been or for you're going to be seeing. matter in fact they were not. so i really. in many ways around and i'm. like powers that. every actor from the room level to low levels of the high or low level that's you know their own responsibility so i don't i don't think we're more maybe you're right more and more galvanize around this issue tiffany williams roberts there from the southern center for human rights speaking to us from atlanta and sounding hopeful thanks for being with us tiffany. so much. india is converting $500.00 railway coaches into makeshift hospitals after a surge in new coronavirus cases that led to a shortage of beds in the capital the country reported another record jump on sunday was almost $12000.00 new infections in one day 10 coaches had previously
