targeting kurdish separatists in the p.k. k. . and y. a massive new cathedral dedicated to the military has left many russians uneasy. now one of the philippines most prominent journalists has been found guilty of cyber libel in a case seen as a major blow to press freedom charges were brought against maria ressa after a news website rappler published a story linking a businessman to a high court judge 5 years ago it's one of several charges laid against which has highlighted extrajudicial killings and abuses during president richard or drinkard attack his time in office is expected to appeal the conviction which carries a sentence of up to 6 years in prison. i appeal to you the

journalists in this room the filipinos who are listening. to protect your rights. we are men. of course canary tale we are meant to make you a free. trade so why appeal again. don't be afraid because if you don't use your rights you will lose them if we don't rally a breeze and move to try to roll back the rights guaranteed in the constitution we will lose them. correspondent to maryland oregon joins us live now from outside the court in manila jamila we had maria ressa there sounding very defiant she's vowed to fight this so what happens now. well we were just with her as well and basically she said that this was quite devastating although she is expecting it she said she has 7 other cases to face now she's going

to be able to post bail i believe the previous bail that she she said remains active now she has to bring her case to the courts of appeals and then when it doesn't work for her again she can bring it up all the way to the supreme court but really you know her facing the press today there is that shop the level of shock that although everybody knew somehow that this might be. that this issue of the court it was still shocking it was devastating she also i feel to facebook she said basically maria basically said that facebook has a responsibility to do its job in making sure that the weaponization of social media that facebook is not used as a platform to demonize journalists the attack against journalists in the philippines did not start this year it started in 2716 when they went a lot of. posts against journalist art that to propagate into any 16 until now she

said that the journalists have been accused of bias have been labeled as criminals she said that may have taken a while before she was convicted today but basically she's calling on. social media platforms to be much more responsible now this is not the 1st time though and not the only case that journalists are facing as you know just over a month ago the biggest media network was shut down maybe as c.b.s. also was shut down because of its failure to renew its license there was also another broad sheet that was also threatened to be closed so i know the united nations all of the rights organizations have called this of course a dark day in journalism but this is not new this is been going on for the last 4 years although there is no official reaction again from the philippine gov. but that the support from the office of the president you know many many actually believe that this has been the case simply because there has basically which the war against journalists but calling them feet used for the previous statement he

made a few years ago that some journalists do this serve to be killed so right now at this point maria ressa still at her press conference she's sharing her sentiments with other journalists a lot of people say they will continue to support maria they think that this is the 1st time that basically cyber libel was weaponized it was something that was passed during the previous administration but a lot of rights groups over the past few years have actually been calling on the government to decriminalize libel they worry though that the case of maria despite being prominent actually has a greater impact to lesser known community journalists who may not have the same gravitas or will feel intimidated every time they write a story every time the right throughout the speech used to power every time they face bigger challenges to go out against powerful people tomorrow and again the following all those developments for us on the ground in manila thanks very much tamara. the death of a black american man following

a struggle with police in the u.s. city of atlanta is now being treated as a homicide the killing of rachel brooks has again fueled tensions over police brutality and sparked new protests over an issue that's been in the spotlight since the death of george floyd and minneapolis 3 weeks ago well we can now speak to andy gallagher our correspondent who's been watching developments for us from miami and i see we've now heard from the medical examiner even more details that will likely only escalate tensions father. yeah i mean the swiftness in which this medical examiner's office has acted is pretty unprecedented it's pretty unusual for them to come out with a conclusion like this so quickly remember mr brooks was killed on friday night after police were called to a drive in restaurant in atlanta let's just see how people are reacting and how things are unfolding across the united states after a weekend of protests following the death of racial brook's the restaurant where he

died is now a symbol of this nation's racial tensions it's being cleaned up now but the anger here hasn't subsided the 27 year old father of 3 was shot and killed by police on friday following a struggle with 2 officers. as he fled mr brooks was shot and later died on saturday night the restaurant was set ablaze and city leaders condemned the police's use of deadly force his children will continue to grow up for the rest of their life without a father now we can't we can't magically make ryszard brooks reappear this building we can build this building this wendy's back up we can fall in insurance claim to ensure that this building is built back up i don't condone this but i understand it and i'm hurting just like everybody else is despite the resignation of atlanta's chief of police and the firing of the officer who killed ray sean brooks calls the police reform and accountability a growing we're going to make sure that if you shoot somebody in our state you're

going to be prosecuted if you're long unfortunate. if you change someone down for a not the other crime you're going to be prosecuted is law enforcement that iraqi government is going to keep people here all right across the u.s. until races protests continue to grow in los angeles the gay pride parade took to the streets in support of black lives matter in south carolina a 1000000 man march was held as protesters marched on the state house lawmakers to address police brutality racism and economic disparities with a shocking. probably i feel here. if that was it and that the system family had was the 1st time ever that he was home. with you know it's been 3 weeks since george floyd died in police custody now another

african-american man's name has been added to a long list of victims of police violence. it's also worth noting that the georgia bureau of investigation will also be carrying out their own inquiry is the same organization that arrested 3 men after the death of a model bree in the same state in georgia civil rights groups in atlanta say the firing of the chief of police on the officer involved who just charges weapon to mr brooks is simply symbolic they want to see far more done they want to see deep seated problems like the racism police brutality and inequality addressed in a very real way and they got that following all the elements for us from miami thank you andy. turkey has launched a military operation against kurdish targets in northern iraq and defense ministry says warplanes have struck the candle mountains targeting separatist pfizer's from the kurdistan workers' party party or p k k as strikes have also been reported at
