for we understand the different cities and similarities of cultures across the world around. cinematic. al-jazeera bringing the news and current affairs that matter to. how does the. al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for they get in this is that he is live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes today ok it's the legislation that will reimagine policing for the 21st century the us congress debates a bill designed to bring major reforms after weeks of protests against police brutality. germany's love tons secures

a 10000000000 dollar government rescue package to help keep it afloat. the governor of the u.s. state of texas reversed his plans to lift the locked out there after a sharp rise in coronavirus cases. and further consolidating power russians take part in a referendum that could see the president stay in office for another decade. and sport australia and new zealand of won the rights to host the 2023 women's world cup the joint bid between colombia and a vote held by football's world governing body. 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 officers and would make it easier to prosecute police it would 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 that the proposal didn't go far enough floyd's death and may spawn nationwide protests with demonstrators calling for changes to policing in the u.s. let's go live now to capitol hill i'll just show how proton c. is there so what exactly is in this bill should have one of the chances of it

passing. the debate has now begun in earnest are on the bill we expect to vote soon on this bill which as you say criminalizes chokeholds of the sort that we saw being used against george floyd it ends no knock warrants in drug cases that is the practice of a lot of police officers to storm into people's houses unannounced that's notable for the case of brianna which got a lot of attention recently a woman in louisville who was shot in her bed multiple times by police officers who busted him it makes it easier to police officers and it creates a national registry of the disciplinary records of police officers right now it's very easy for a police officer to be disciplined to have complaints against them in one police department only for them then to move to another police department that's a seeking to end that possibility for police officers it is expected to pass quite shortly now we would think but then it's expected to go another way that's that's

where it will end because the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has already said it's a nonstarter it's not going to be brought up for a debate or a vote in the senate they prefer the their own republican bill which wasn't really about mandating change but encouraging change in police forces and that was deemed unacceptable by both democrats and various civil rights groups so we have a stalemate in congress very unlikely unless there's enormous public opinion of a groundswell of public pressure to reintroduce some sort of measures in congress it seems very unlikely to me will move in the coming months before the election and to be honest anyway we were expecting change and reform to be occurring more to a state level in municipal level and we're already seeing that with chokeholds being banned in california new york and some cities now diverting money that would have gone to the police force to other measures to social services to deescalate tree measures so we are seeing change we're just not likely to see it on the federal level it would seem but we are expecting a vote in the house shortly all right she had many thanks did out. on the. capitol

hill many thanks indeed to frank robots is a black lives massive movement organizer and activist he joins us now live form new york via skype good to have you with us. what do you make of the fact that of into this bill with all of its measures is going to pass the house but it will become law because it's not going to go anywhere in the senate. you know i think the 1st thing to say is congratulations the reality is this is a small victory for movement activists as you mentioned it's been 30 days since the lynching of george floyd and this legislation if passed which is unlikely would be the most comprehensive piece of legislation on police reform in american history that is an achievement that we can't sweep under the rug and i think it's important to know better this is only happening as a result of 30 days of sustained protests by young people and people of all walks of life across america and for that reason we have reason to be proud that we've

reached this moment to what extent is it important also that this being an election year that the democrats seem to be fully on board with this now. absolutely thank you for ever asking that because it's really important to understand though this piece of legislation is likely to fail in the senate as a result of no public in support it's very important to understand that 40 years ago many of the names that have signed on to support this bill would have been very unlikely to have even supported a piece of legislation like this 4 years ago so it it represents a shift not only in the country but in the democratic party the fact that you have mainstream democrats calling for essentially an end to qualified immunity ban on no knock warrants ban on trolls is progress for the democratic party let alone america at march and so i think it sets up a very important election year dynamic where whoever we know that joe biden will be the democratic nominee whoever the vice presidential nominee is and ultimately the

democratic platform more broadly we will have to actually adopt the principles that we see in this piece of legislation and that's important for moving forward or a however long it takes for any of these measures to become law in the united states is it actually got to make any difference on the ground when it comes to day to day policing. well great question and the answer is it depends and to a certain extent so for instance a ban on no not warrants would have for instance save the life of brianna taylor the 27 year old african-american line worker in kentucky who was killed as a result of a no knock warrant but a ban on tolls theoretically would have prevented the death of for instance eric gardner but the reality is chokehold were already banned in new york at the time that gardner was executed but the most important part of this legislation whenever it actually see the light of day as law is the way to qualified immunity which

essentially would no longer shield police officers from actually having financial liability and criminal liability for taking away people's constitutional rights and so in that sense it would make a real difference the question is wait as you as you comply with it will actually come into law but the fact that qualify to be duty is is being discussed now often off to so long i mean what in the space of 30 days that that's come to the fore and the debate about them and that's that's testament to the power of protesters did. it cannot be understated qualified immunity was introduced by the supreme court in the 1967 so what does it mean 53 years qualified immunity has been the legal doctrine of the land it has been untouched the fact that in 30 days we've done more on criminal justice reform that essentially what we've done. in 53 years is

significant because all i mean a-t. was one of these principle that only kind of movement organizers like me knew but the fact that it's even been entered into the public lexicon is again a testimony to the power of these protests which it help to not only ship policy but shift the conversation so now everyday americans are familiar with this obscure legal concept called qualified immunity that's progress really good to talk to so many thanks indeed frankly on robots in new york. thank you as we were discussing the another case that's been sparking outrage across the us is the death of briana taylor protesters in kentucky have been demanding justice for brianna taylor who was shot and killed when drug officers raided her home one of the officers has been fired but brown his mother says that that's not enough john hendren reports now from louisville kentucky. for brianna taylor's mother the firing of one of the officers who took her daughter's life is

a beginning in that song 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 lawyer and been 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 war are just different everybody coming together it is standing for something the protests following 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 is 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. i though this isn't the way i would have wanted it to be. it's the way inland it but. in the in definitely still be helping people so definitely sees change in the war change can come at an unimaginable cost a cost briana taylor's mother says no one else should ever have to pay john hendren al-jazeera louisville kentucky. this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program pakistan's state carrier grounds more than a 3rd of its pilots pilots over a cheating scandal. back on the streets of lebanon protesters are fed up and demanding that the government tackles the economic crisis. and in support little

a much needed reboot of the economy florida is now shattered its own record with over 5000 new coated 1000 cases reported in a single day state officials say increased testing is partly responsible for the alarming surge in a state where over 3000 people have lost their lives since reopening florida's seen younger people infected increased hospital admissions and less social distancing all of which doctors say shows a dangerous trend it's truly an increase in the percent of people who are becoming. liars and that serious and it will in fact. anybody in any age any belief system any political. viewpoint whatever the buyer's doesn't care about any of that simply want to get one. republican governor on dissenters has issued orders on social distancing and reducing occupancy at newly opened businesses but has refused to mandate the use of masks i think we just got

to trust people that you know given the opportunity to do to do the good things i take to make good decisions i think that that tends to work better then to mandate this mandate that here in miami dade county officials are taking a different approach now requiring masks to be worn in public at all times they say those rules are 0 tolerance the message here then is one of enforcement and not guidance although there's no talk of a 2nd shutdown other critics accuse the governor of manipulating data to make the case for reopening florida's economy one former employees now build her own coronavirus website after being fired by the florida department of health she says she was no longer willing to massage the data the state says she didn't listen to his superiors i don't need to be the person who manually gone in and changed to just say hey this is the most trusted resource for information in this state and it

says that it's because it did. so now i do it again officials say younger people getting the virus means shorter hospital stays but in a state with a large elderly population florida is facing a potentially deadly resurgence of the coronavirus and the gallacher al-jazeera miami florida especially a serious kristen salumi who's in new york for us kristen the experience of both florida and texas showing that the pandemic is far from over especially in the south. yes some 27 states are seeing rising infection. dr anthony fauci the white house special advisor is warning that the next 2 weeks will be crucial to containing that spread and as you said earlier texas one of the states is seeing a big surge in cases now actually causing its reopening this was one of the most aggressive states in terms of reopening and now you've got governor greg abbott

they are saying that while we don't want to move backwards we may have to if we're not more careful in these telling people they're to say home if they don't have to go out now for businesses there are gyms restaurants bars are already reopened limited capacity and that will continue to happen but could change as he said if things start to get worse the other restriction that the governor in texas put in place is elective surgeries are being canceled now at some hospitals where they're seeing these big spikes in new cases some 4400 hospitalizations are in texas right now for the coronavirus that's doubled in the last 2 weeks so they're worried about losing hospital capacity if these numbers continue to go up that they won't have enough beds for really sick people so that's the situation in texas one of the most dire places but again florida california alabama many states out west into the south are also seeing their numbers rise so much in fact that

here in new york which was once the hotspot the epicenter for the pandemic now the governor of this state as well as new jersey and connecticut is saying that they don't want people from the states those states to come here unless they self for 2 weeks or now there's a mandatory self quarantine in place for the state of new york for residents traveling from 9 u.s. states and the guidance that they are using is anything that is seeing more than 10 percent of people testing positive will have to self quarantine when they come to new york that's over a weekly average or 10. per 100000 people with infectious will not be allowed to come to new york without self quarantining here for 2 weeks before going out and about so certainly the tide has shifted the epicenter has shifted but the cases continue to grow and be a concern all over the country. which illustrates brown from florida and texas the

that the we've mentioned were cases on the rise in the states. yeah it's $27.00 states but a lot of them are the places that were the quickest to reopen places like arizona alabama where the governors have been reluctant to impose mandatory mask wearing we heard about florida where now they're leaving it up to the local municipalities and more of them are taking it on themselves that's starting to happen in places like arizona as well where you're seeing local officials start to mandate the mass but the problem is that some health officials say it's too little too late it's getting out there now there's this community spread happening particularly among young people who are still going out and going to bars and may not be at risk of serious illness themselves but can now spread it a symptomatically to older people and more vulnerable people in their populations and that's a real concern. as kristen salumi reporting live from new york kristen many thanks

indeed germany's lufthansa has secured a 10000000000 dollar government rescue package the airlines shareholders of voted to back the deal it will mean the government takes a 20 percent stake move tons of also secured a deal with a cabin crew union to cut hundreds of billions of dollars in spending within 3 years while avoiding layoffs let's get more on this now from observe still mccain is live for us in the limbs so moved on so will be 20 percent state building. tons it will be 20 percent state but the point behind what's happened today is the realisation by the shareholders that if they didn't accept this and the company in which they have shares could have been going bankrupt within days if not weeks a board member saying that alan was hemorrhaging money to this sure enough perhaps a 1000000 year or more than a $1000000.00 an hour during the pandemic which gives the sense of the perspective

that informed the decision taken the put all sorts of make here is it wasn't just the shareholders who have to endorse this the european commission also giving its seal of approval as it were to this acquisition of 20 percent of the shares part of the german government saying the european commission that is saying it didn't infringe impinge upon the state aid rules that apply across the european union ministers who were all visibly behind this plan since it was they who came up with it well they've welcomed the fact the shareholders have endorsed this and said from that perspective this will safeguard jobs but they've also said the finance minister the social democrat all of schultz has also said that the government is determined that lufthansa must improve with this bailout and from their perspective to expect the taxpayer should eventually get a return on their money given the amount of money that the taxpayer is having to stump up to save tons of from bankruptcy or serious thought it came live at birdland dominic many thanks indeed. stratus largest airline quantas is laying off

a better future for themselves and for their family and for their children the refugee camps have been very very much in squalid conditions from from the beginning and even with the humanitarian aid it has not been sufficient or adequate in any way so we see that people are trying to look for a better option even if it you know means risking their own lives at sea and. if indonesia decided to push them away. i cannot imagine what what this would turn into. it this is spend you know i think that it is important for us to know and acknowledge that this is not the 1st time that there is a bill crisis we are deemed or adopt the boat people for a reason because we have to keep fleeing all of our lives you know people like me are fortunate enough to be able to resettle in another country but not all of us
