charged for murder or manslaughter the mayor of louisville has announced his 72 hour curfew and call for calm as anti-racism protests triggered by her death and that of george voice in minneapolis and to their 6 month. the grand jury voted to return an indictment against detective hankinson for 3 counts of wanton in danger for want to placing the 3 individuals in apartment 3 in danger of serious physical injury or death. as go straight to al-jazeera is john hendren any louisville's for us so john one officer indicted but not for brianna tan his staff and this is from what our family want to tell us 1st about the reactions and what the situation is like right now in louisville. where this crowd is not gathered here in lieu of those jefferson park because they're happy with that decision if you look behind me you can see all those people
2:03 am
in front of a truck and that truck is meant to block the street so hard can't come through here and if you just keep looking over that garbage can was just set on fire behind us and that gentleman there with the white hair. you could you just hundreds of people here what had been a peaceful memorial for briana taylor for months but when this verdict came out the decision to charge that officer i should say only with reckless endangerment it really infuriated the crowd no reason for that is they wanted murder charges for the shooting of briana taylor what they got was reckless endangerment charges 3 charges against one officer and it wasn't the officer who fired the fatal shots at briana taylor he was charged for recklessly firing into a neighboring apartment where 3 or family of 3 a white family had been living at that time and those are the only charges that have been levied so far there is a federal investigation going on as well it's conceivable there could be federal
2:04 am
charges out of that big you can sense the anger in the streets here we didn't have to since we talked to a number of people and what they said was that this is not justice for being on a tailor and a curfew is about to go into effect in new even away you are john do you get a sense that people will respect that curfew or is sam perhaps a sense of you know that things might get a bit heated in the coming hours. i suspect the streets in 2 hours from. now when that curfew begins at 9 o'clock local time will look much like this as you see it now we've seen this in minneapolis of the protests there we've seen it in kenosha wisconsin we have seen it in many cities chicago among them where people defied those curfews and particularly on a night like this when there was a reason for them to be out i think you can almost assure that people will be out in the streets we've already seen confrontations between police and protesters we
2:05 am
saw a number of protesters get taken down and arrested they are angry and some of them are defiant interestingly we've also seen a number of armed people some of them with protestors and some of them in camouflage or separate perhaps part of militias and those are the kinds of things that have become problems in other cities and that's what the police who are in here in large force are worried about tonight thank you for that john hendren with me to say from louisville kentucky let's discuss this further now with ivan bass is joining us on skype from baltimore man and his a criminal defense attorney and a former prosecutor very good to have you with us mr bates so 1st of all how can you even pay $12000000.00 for the wrongful death of briana taina and arrests no one for murder what is it that prevented prosecutors from bringing homicide benita charges against police officers and shop there. yes 1st of all thank you for having
2:06 am
me when you look at how do you charge police how you hold police accountable you have to look was called the use of force expert that's an individual that's going to talk about how officers are trained if the op has violated their training therefore that's the way they could potentially be charged however if they did not violate their training then they you know that's what you look at in terms of them not being charged so for us very clear from the attorney general. then you're kramer's information he said the officer just upon that you support what he's saying is that the way the last retraining that they were allowed to use that force that they felt was reasonable and necessary to protect their lives that is a problem right there the problem is clear that it's not just charging officers it's changing the way the officer training right and he's been very much criticized in the last year as a kentucky attorney general a said the office is way justified in their use of force because someone was shooting at them but he also said something very interesting which i found
2:07 am
interesting anyway and that is that that law may not be adequate to deal with a case like this one why do you think that is and would you agree with that. oh without a doubt yeah they agree let's look at something is unique the boyfriend mr walker was taylor's boyfriend he thought someone was great to get his house he had is that legally own a handgun he went to protect themselves when doors burst open he fired shots and guess who's charged he was charged with intent murder all these are let's tell you the law is wrong what makes to happen now the kentucky legislature to change the law and when you look at what's going on they protect officers and so many ways if the if the attorney general really wants to show what happened he needs to be transparent release the use of force report that his expert gave him so that he could decide that charge he thought was you know looking at this from outside the
2:08 am
u.s. many of these cases it seems to favor police protects the police and law anyway how difficult would it would it have been you think to convict the police officers in this case if they had challenged him because again the argument being made is that her boyfriend brianna to his boyfriend opened fire 1st. well i personally think would be that hard most important once again you're going to use of force expert you're allowed to defend yourself now they're going to say that reality had a way for an open fire 1st but he was the finding himself they were all that properly they should not have been there i think when you look at what officer brian hagen so was charged with the class the well of the 1st degree want probably in danger it's clear that they could have charged them with better you ask me thank you look at their actions there the statute pretty much says i'm going to talk if you have an extreme indifference to the value of human life you have won fully engaged in that activity that conduct which creates
2:09 am
a substantial danger of serious does go injury to another person that's clearly what all 3 of these officers at a bare minimum should have been charged mr bates now the f.b.i. is still investigating this case for civil rights violations and is looking into evidence i understand cannot change anything is anyone ever likely to be charged well it could the f.b.i. the federal government they could bring civil rights violations under the civil rights laws and so the officers could be charged that way there was so agreed just on our actions or behavior that they could and should be charged so it's going to be very interesting remember this f.b.i. are still under the current president of the ultra ok thank you very much for talking to us ivan bates in form of baltimore maryland prosecutor joining us say via skype from baltimore thank you very much for your insight. now into the world news and police in bennett rules have once again crackdown on protesters in minsk
2:10 am
hours after alexander lukashenko president in a surprise sam money some demonstrators have been detained people are angry that look has not resigned following last month's disputed election he took his oath of office in front of several 100 government officials several countries have said they will not recognize his presidency. i didn't see this because you deal with the day of assuming the post of the president in or gratian day is the day of our victory convincing and faithful we were not just electing the president of the country we were defending our values peaceful life. and our independence and in this regard there is a lot to be done. bennett russian opposition leaders that lot of taken off has dismissed the swearing in ceremony speaking from neighboring lithuania at the back of the bomber in the obstacles this so-called inauguration is obviously a fosse in reality has just retired today it means his orders to military and
2:11 am
security services on to legitimately anymore and can no longer be executed i am the only lead to elected by the belorussian people now is to build a new bella reste to get them here we spoke to journalist andre vite of h.n. main school gave us an update on the situation at the protests ongoing we know that in the city center they were able. to arrest quite brutal arrests so from pictures and now people are coming from different people from different parts of maine basically from outskirts in different major sports to different location now i'm told in a group of people who are going to think big 3 square you know the central location of the defendant square and there you can want to take a chaotic because you know the police and national forces along that they depend to a couple of hours to go and eat and it could actually be very bad tonight so people
2:12 am
are you know very frustrated but. when i was often in a car through the city center there are a lot of people and people actually think that we might have to think there are that we had on the election night and probably this now it can't be could be even the wars in terms of violence from the police. the european union is proposing an overhaul to the way its members deal with incoming refugees and migrants it was see tied to border controls a streamlined process for asylum seekers who are rejected and require each country to host at least some refugees european commission president or some have underway and says oh e.u. states share the responsibility to take the pressure off nations on the coasts she had knowledge the current system doesn't work and that has so far have often led to devastating human consequences al-jazeera is natasha about ms in paris with more on what's being discussed. what we know is the least it's a deal that has been formulated by the commission to try and offer
2:13 am
a common migration policy because we heard from the head of the commission their initiative on the lead in saying that the e.u. can no longer tolerate having this ad hoc crisis driven response to migration the sort of response we saw in 2015 when the e.u. was so divided over what to do with people arriving in the block then and more recently of course on the greek island of last boss so this is a policy would have been a common migration policy a common asylum policy as well and it's got a big focus on preventative measures so one of the big building blocks of in a way is to try and focus on keeping people out of the european union in effect stopping them from leaving their home countries in the 1st place there also be a greater emphasis on repatriation on deportation of so-called economic migrants upholstering land and sea borders across the e.u.
2:14 am
too that's another measure that has been discussed now one of the most contentious measures is on asylum seekers it's only been a sticking point in the past what the u. commission is proposing is that asylum seekers are redistributed among member states of the e.u. but it won't be a mandatory scheme member states will be given cash incentives for example in order to host refugees. still ahead on al-jazeera a huge task for the world's 2nd most populous nation india's prime minister gives the go ahead for state knock downs and calls for minimal disruption to life one of the biggest way to be changes in australian history scientists try to find out why nearly 500 mammals stranded themselves off tasmania you.
2:15 am
want a place to say that tropical storm beta now in the process of weakening but you can still see where the system is it's making its way towards that eastern side of texas grassy pushing a little further north woods and eastward so louisiana will see some heavy rain as we go through the next couple of days pushing up towards kentucky easing over towards the appalachians some of these parts could see as much as $100.00 maybe a $150.00 millimeters of rain and that will cause further flooding getting a move on mind by the time we come to friday it will be around the middle that it stays bright skies starting to come back in behind what's a weather there up towards the lakes eastern parts of canada towards ontario seeing some wet weather and notice over towards b.c. some wet weather here as well and that cloud and rain just sliding its way down across the western side of washington state into oregon hopefully helping with wildfires but i suspect that could be some landslides and some flooding a possibility of some landslides and flooding since it for the next long arc of
2:16 am
cloud coming across the great rantin this heavy downpours on the cards here for a time wetter weather started to push its way back to wards hispaniola western parts of the caribbean also seeing some showers along the spell's affrighted tell me particularly what for costa rica. from fossil fuels to modern day renewable as societies develop the energy demands increase requiring innovative solutions to meet such to manage as a global power develop into the basement company power is uniquely positioned to deliver against the stream we provide business growth promote social economic benefits and provide innovative safe and environmentally shelled energy solutions for future generation the brush pioneering future energy.
2:17 am
the way. watching al-jazeera live from doha remind of our top stories protesters have gathered in the u.s. city of louisville after a grand jury role that police officers involved with a net the fatal shooting of a black woman brianna taylor a used justified force the mayor has announced a 3 day curfew and has called for calm police and bellows have once again crackdown on protesters in many scours after alexander lukashenko was sworn in as president in a surprise ceremony water cannon was use with some demonstrators detained by the authorities and the european union s. are posing an overhaul to the way its members deal with incoming migrants and refugees it was see tighter border controls a streamlined process for asylum seekers who are rejected and require each country
2:18 am
to host at least some refugees. even for migrants of been granted asylum the journey remains incredibly difficult those of made it to the greek island of vessels are confused and worried even if they're allowed to remain in europe stephanie deck of reports no one we asked here was aware of the hughes announcement of a new policy no mohamed from afghanistan has been granted asylum but remain stuck on the island on lockdown for asylum seekers due to the corona virus he reminds us how he and thousands of others suffered to make it this far must help him suffer the journey of refugees and migrants the illegal way is really really difficult you know many people get hurt some get stuck along the way it's a horrible journey europe has recently reignited the discussion on its migration policies prompted by the burning down of moriah camp europe's biggest here and as was island over 2 weeks ago this package reflects
2:19 am
a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden. this package also reflects a very pragmatic and realistic approach but it seems the new policy is more focused on tightening border controls and on sending back those with failed to successfully claim asylum rather than streamline the process for those already here a steadiest kind of us is a greek lawyer providing free legal aid to the asylum seekers it's a messy and complicated process if it's not a direction then the have the right to appeal on the states they have the right cause obligation to provide free legal a lot of support them to draft. appeal however there is a lot of legal of the provision of legal aid to asylum seekers who have an
2:20 am
addictive is a huge issue or the lack of information provided to the refugees about the process means many cannot access the legal avenues the technically should be provided for them many remain here not knowing how to appeal others are faced multiple rejections but have not been deported. for those like muhammad who have been granted what is seen as the ultimate dream what everyone here wants lawyers tell us is hardships a far from over in fact they could get even worse there is hardly any help once they're cut off from any aid to to their asylum status and there is a lack of integration programs to help them adjust to a new society after months and months if not years of languishing in these camps. 100 percent i'm worried i'm worried how to integrate myself into the society are more about finding a job how to find work and stand on my own feet and to make my life again the e.u. says it needs to share the burden of the refugee and migration crisis greece and the residents here say they are tired of doing it alone for mohamed who has left
2:21 am
everything behind in search of a safer and better life and for the 10s of thousands of others like him waiting for answers in the camps of europe's border states the burden and the feeling of doing it alone is far too familiar stephanie decker al-jazeera lesbos island greece. anti-government protesters in egypt are back on the streets for a 4th night despite a mass crackdown on dissent that has got to the arrests of 300 people. demonstrators are calling for president abdel fattah el-sisi to step down security had been heightened across the country after holzer protests by exiled opposition figure mohammed ali human rights groups are criticize egypt's who of violations of human rights silencing dissent dissidents and putting thousands of activists in prison. in nigeria an oil tanker has exploded in the central state killing at
