one expert says it's about much more than just density it's about how all this was put together and how it's run. al-jazeera. although i'm a very unforgiving this is that he was a live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the us congress debates a bill designed to bring police reforms after weeks of protests against police brutality. airlines in turmoil layoffs and groundings worldwide with losses mounting as a result of the pandemic. voting underway in russia that a referendum that could see president vladimir putin in power until 2036. back on

the streets of lebanon protesters are fed up and demanding that the government tackles the economic crisis. and is for the house 2023 women's world cup will be announced in just over an hour's time colombia and a joint bid from new zealand and australia. it's been a month since the death of george floyd in custody and policing in the united states could be on the brink of a major change the house of representatives is debating democratic legislation that reduces legal protections for offices and would make it easier to prosecute police it will also ban chokeholds and change the criteria for using lethal force. exactly one month ago george floyd spoke his final words i can't breathe and change the course of history since then here if it day americans from every

walk of life and corner of the country have been marching protesting and demanding that this moment of national agony become one of a national action today with the georgia floyd just just in policing act the house is honoring his life and the lives of all killed by police brutality and pledging never again on wednesday a republican bill on police reform was rejected democrats say the proposal didn't go far enough floyd's death in may spark nationwide protests with demonstrators calling for changes to policing in the u.s. let's go live now to washington shall have pretends it is the so she had what's in this bill what are the chances of it passing. there are several elements to this bill you've summarized some of them in criminalizing chokeholds like the sort that we used on george floyd but banning no knock warrants in drug cases that is police

busting in other nouns into people's houses the case of briana taylor in louisville is has been getting a lot of attention here especially in the protest she was shot multiple times and she slept in a bad there's also make it there's also provisions to make it easier to individual police officers for their misconduct and the creation of a registry a database of police misconduct and disciplinary issues right now there's very little transparency about police misconduct at all from a police officer can be can be sanctioned in one police departments if you just move on to another police a police department or no one's any the wiser so the more transparency this is expected to pass very easily among along party lines in the house in the coming hours but then it's expected to go nowhere the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has said it's not going to be brought up in the senate for debates or votes the senate republicans prefer their own bill which the democrats and civil liberties groups say is completely toothless it's more about encouraging reform

rather them mandating mandating reform so it looks like we're going to be rid of stand of stalemate basically now unless there's more public pressure for congress to act we should also add 3rd of a lot of the changes being demanded of police police officers and police departments it's coming at the local level the state level so that pressure will continue there i think about that is a more likely venue for change in police forces but i think what's also important is. nancy pelosi there talking about the protests when we go on the protests it's clear that the the demand has shifted it's not that's reform police departments it's not let's just make it so that a few bad apples don't ruin policing the demand that we see on pro protesters defund the police that is take a radically new approach to policing in the united states reform it's too late for reform and so racial violence are ingrained in police forces but you have to look at other mechanisms which might mean taking away the billions of dollars that go

into police police departments and redirecting that into into social programs into ways of deescalating situations and ways of of positively affecting communities as opposed to simply relying on heavily armed police officers to solve all of all of society's problems al-jazeera. the reporting live from capitol hill many thanks indeed she has let's bring in eric ham who's a political analyst who joins us now live from washington as we heard the eric of this bill then not going to go anywhere once it gets to the senate how can this divide between democrats in the house republicans in the senate be bridged on this issue. well quite frankly i don't think we will see it being breached between the house and the senate right now in fact this is going to become a major political wedge issue in fact the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is up for reelection this year and we can expect that this issue will play heavily and his reelection efforts in kentucky and addition to that we were saying at the local

level where communities have moved even farther along than where we're seeing this divide and this debate taking place right now and the house and senate because right now the bill that will inevitably pass in the house which is which cause for banning of choko is a cause for the limitation of no knock warrants in fact what we're saying on the ground as your reporter just suggested state it is that communities now are calling for a defunding they're calling for resources to be moved from the police department and other programs that they believe will be beneficial to these communities so again what we're saying is congress pretty much not being where the public is on this issue and in fact it's playing out politically because even many of president donald trump's own base much of white america has moved on this issue and now believe that in fact police departments are problematic and change does need to be

made so is police reform going to become a big issue in the presidential election campaign. absolutely it will be in fact we've already seen president donald trump using much of the threat to actually boaster his claim on this issue in fact he announced just earlier this week the end executive order that he would like to see call for at least 10 year 10 year census for those that remove statues of these confederate soldiers and history make history figures and addition to that the president has continued to call him so using the moniker of the law enforcement president so we are seeing this play out right now and it will be a major election issue not just for down ballot races but it will play very heavily in the presidential race as well but a list many kicks the issue for the down the road doesn't it how long before we see some sort of concrete reform to policing in the u.s. . well we're already seeing those concrete reforms in fact already the mayor of new

york the as well as the mayor of los an angeles a true of the biggest police departments in the country those executives have already stated that they are now beginning to remove money from those respective police budgets to other programs in fact and at los angeles of the mayor has already announced that they will be moving $150000000.00 now that's a small pittance for a budget that's at nearly 2000000000 but we're already seeing that take place also in louisville kentucky where brianna taylor was killed as a result of this no not warrant they've already banned those types of warrants so occur in louisville kentucky so changes are really taking place systemic change concrete changes are already taking place at the local level once again is just taking quite a bit of time for national lawmakers to move in the direction where cities and local municipalities have already begun could start to get eric many thanks indeed

very calm there live in washington d.c. eric was talking about the shooting death of 26 year old. briana taylor she was shot and killed by police when officers broke into her house looking for drugs one of the officers has been fired but his mother says that that's not enough answer as john hendren reports from louisville kentucky. for brianna taylor's mother the firing of one of the officers who took her daughter's life is a beginning and that's all it's a start. it's not just this. just is to make a palmer says requires criminal charges against all 3 officers who gunned briana down in her home as they searched for someone else in dismissing brett hankinson from the louisville police force on tuesday the city's police chief said i find your conduct a shock to the conscience i am a law and in stunned you use deadly force in this fashion. i just think that.

i think. brown i was soo of be so proud to see these people adi's different people all around the wire are just different everybody coming together it is standing for something the protests following on his death have led to changes louisville has outlawed no knock warrants required body cameras anytime a warrant is used and created is civilian review board it's going to take more to really deter officers from engaging in this type of behavior so the conversation needs to continue it needs to go much deeper and it needs to get to the root of why . certain officers can get away with with behavior exhibited and you know they cost brianna her her life the u.s. she says needs to admit that american style policing is not working and look to other countries for leadership it was after midnight when police came here and

knock the door down with a battering ram briana taylor's boyfriend who had a gun license and says he thought the place was being invaded fired a shot police fired back 20 times into 3 apartments they say they came here because a drug suspect had used this address but by that time they'd already located him. inside they found no drugs just briana's body. now across the street from city hall where louisville's leaders can always see them is a permanent protest in brianna's name just an hour you knew she would do something great and. other this isn't the way i would have wanted her to. stay away and land it but. in the in definitely still be helping people so definitely sustained in a war change can come at an unimaginable cost

health in a press conference earlier this afternoon say now the biggest problem in that region is logistics some of this village is where people have been affected sorting p 31 people so far have died and about 24 hours have been confirmed to have a boiler so you're saying that the biggest problem is logistics some of the villages where the people are most affected are far away the roads are bad so help wherever having a difficult challenge is just challenge just getting to those people who are affected but he also say that there's an upside to it because they have a head start with this but it seems that they've been using on the people in the east of the vaccines he said have been very effective and they're hoping that they're going to contain the situation in the northwest as well using these folks when they reach the people that need to be rich but every n d r c the house situation is very complicated because now whether they're not just dealing with a ball around the northwest they're dealing with or a virus at the other diseases like measles. that has. thousands and thousands of

the outcome of the result of the shareholders vote the other hurdle of this deal has happened to get over today has been approval by the european commission by the e.u. institutions because in the government acquiring such a large stake of. the state aid rules which apply across the european union have to be here to the european commission has said will this deal does that here but of course as i say the big kathy at here is will the shareholders indorse this deal. or as we mentioned earlier is largest airline quantas is laying off thousands of stuff as it tries to survive a global pandemic the airline says that it doesn't expect the nation's borders to open at least for tourists for the coming year the click gauge reports. right now qantas is meant to be celebrating its 100th anniversary instead it's dealing with the biggest crisis in its history the israeli national airline has fired 6000 stuff and another 15000 workers will stay on leave the moments this crisis is still here

a $10000000000.00 bailout russians are heading to the polls in a weeklong vote that's expected to pave the way for president vladimir putin to remain in charge until 2036 the referendum will be the nation's biggest constitutional overhaul since the end of the soviet union and there are reports that employees of the state are being pressured to vote in favor of zeros charlie angela reports during the day in a day for a russian state funded institution to have free time is now spent protesting against the state's latest attempt to preserve putin's power for another 2 terms with opposition demonstrations banned stick is the only way to voice their anger at being told by her employers exactly where and when to vote. i think it wasn't our management's initiative they received the orders from above and it must have been done to make sure people don't participate in exit polls and there are no election

observers to make sure no one could observe the voting and to make it more difficult on cover regularities she is up against a vost machine the kremlin launched a widespread advertising campaign appealing to pensioners parents and patriots the $200.00 amendments to the constitution include promises on pensions health care and the minimum wage as well as allowing the current president to seek reelection after his final term ends in 2024 and guaranteeing immunity to former presidents but a yes or no vote on the entire package is the only option available. was part of the working group brought together by president putin to draft the proposed reforms. that meet that the current president has already been elected to the highest state post several times there is no reset the rest just a special provision in the text of the constitution that allows the current president to run for the next presidential election this provision largely

guarantees that the state's policy will not be radically changed after 2024 but the vote is largely symbolic the changes have already been passed by russia's parliament still critics say putin wants the people to give his plan the veneer of a ditch in the sea put in wants to be supported by people as a dictator this is typical. for any kind of dictatorships such a direct direct line direct connection between it and the people are simply personal. there are fears the nationwide vote could increase the spread of coronavirus in a country that is still recording over $7000.00 new infections a day a ban on public events led to the arrest of hundreds of protesters even one person with a placard is considered a contravention but the ban does not apply to any event organized by the kremlin that the need for urgency on this vote is unclear charlie angela al-jazeera that's

going to view on this now from alex teves of who's a lecturer in modern european history at queen's university belfast who joins us now live from belfast good to have you with us alex is putin a shoo in to get the constitutional changes that he seeks in this referendum yes i think that beyond doubt and i think that as your reporter it is said technically that's already been approved or he needs not is just the popular vote in support of already or changes already been made. the elections and the referendum always managed in russia. which it certainly is. short of fulfilling its although if the current girl a virus in the pandemic were to extra stress on him and voter apathy and fear of. contacting the disease or certainly places on people's minds so it was a deliberate thing to do to. seek a single yes or no answer to approve a whole raft of changes not just the one that impacts upon putin and his ability to

be reelected. well i think everybody knows that it is really about putin being staying involved for another 12 years after 2024 but i think that it's to shows that he wasn't sure about this vote he didn't put it he put it just about his expenses or he had to mix it with all sorts of just for their bit of of the population at large because he thought that was the more secure way of. getting what he really wants which is the extensions and is putin as popular with the people as the result of this referendum if as you say it will be won comfortably everybody will vote yes would suggest well i think it's not a serious discomfort why is that a controlled and managed vote but really the rocky indicators which can still go wrong for the kremlin such as a low turnout and not as a well meaning vote in favor as they would have hoped but no the less they.

can predict pretty sure that this will happen i think it does in the mind he's good ability in among certain. demographics in russia and the way the children it is a very crude way of just extending the he's just i'm very unlike him what he did in the past when the going to follow the letter of the constitution's changed roles with me to a different 2008 knowledge he's just dispose of all this niceties and subtleties and just goes a very crude thing and i don't think it's really inspires much confidence in people who usually would support him anyway what likely problems is the storing up for russia or in the years ahead what i think the main problem is of course for putin is that he's been in power for far too long and he will be bo even longer so there is a. this is fear of the nation and there's always this reference back to the soviet

union and brezhnev was in follow for almost 20 years as well and the soviet union bit a sadistic needed and then then collapse russia's insense. might be repeating the same scenario in a sense that the economy is very. poorly of growing at the moment because its exhausted its. potential from the 99 to is and with all of them substantial reforms it won't be able to grow and that the political system is very stale and doesn't allow much. room for change from the popular vote so there is a dilemma is that people go up with you the economy will collapse and the. of the one thing which keeps the of the bill blair actually going the basic approach is all in and of directly with the people that's why he wants to have this vote he doesn't need it technically he but he still needs this deal having problem and they feel that people which is. all that kind of keeps the whole whole place in the

whole whole thing going. so well. the danger with that it's the more he does it the less or people he becomes and the more they have to resort to outright fraud ok good so to that extent thanks did i state of that in belfast the korean war broke out 17 years ago it's never officially ended. a cerny took place in chill one in south korea the region changed hands several times on this side of several battles of the honestest it was split between the north and the south. and as we speak president trump at the moment marking the 70th anniversary of the start of the korea war at the korean veterans memorial in washington d.c. . mongolia's ruling party is set to remain in power for
