1:03 pm
justice kentucky's attorney general announced 3 charges of reckless endangerment against brett hankerson one of 3 officers who fired into the home of briana taylor in march she died seconds later there's no doubt that this is a gut wrenching emotional case and the pain that many people are feeling is understandable i deeply care about the value and sanctity of human life deserves protection and in this case a human life was lost. we cannot forget that the charges were for firing into the neighboring home of a white family of 3 not for the shooting of taylor the officer who fired the fatal shots was not charged. he said enough. that's not enough taylor died after police firing their weapons stormed her apartment in march carrying out a no knock warrant for evidence against a friend of taylor's her boyfriend kenneth walker says that moments before they
1:04 pm

1:07 pm
a failure of the u.s. criminal justice system. we have a long history of failing to have officers accountable when things like this happen there's a number of different things that have been changed in the situation to prevent this from happening it's a tragedy and we should all mourn detain the family there have been a number of progressive piece of legislation across the country i think with the breathe act i think about a number of other bills looking critically about the role of law enforcement institutions in our country they haven't gotten the traction that they need we need to deal with structural violence that's what causes problems for everybody and that's rooted in system of failures and i education systems and our public health infrastructure and our divestment from the institutions of health and well being while we invest in our cars will systems in louisville a disproportionate 'd share of the city budget goes to hyper policing when it could go to system to care for the same systems of care that are preventing black communities from divers and especially in the covered 1000 crisis we have more that we can do and if the portrait
1:08 pm
a success of pushing for the legislation to organize we have to mourn we have to agree and then we have to look at policies not more should exist should be fired from one department of jurisdiction and a lot of work in another jurisdiction should never disrepair fortunate share of our civic resources going to our systems of harm while i systems of care are completely under the you know under funded we need to think critically about these moments in our history because i don't want to have another unknown person another black person another black woman die at the hands of law enforcement we could be investing in systems of care that would prevent these incidences from occurring. now in the u.s. presidential election just over a month away total trump has refused to say whether he'll accept a peaceful transfer of power if he loses trump was invasive when the question join a white house briefing. we'll have to see what happens you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster and the people are right committed to making sure that there's
1:09 pm
a nice little word for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and you know have a very transpo have a very peaceful there won't be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots out of control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else. well a democratic presidential candidate joe biden reacted with disbelief. says the most rational thing. i don't know what to say what is not surprising. and just a few time donald trump is set to visit the u.s. supreme court that he'll be paying his respects to the justice ruth bader ginsburg mormons have been ongoing the popular liberal justice who died on friday she reports from washington. there are fun here in a short private ceremony in the great hall of the u.s. supreme court the chief justice paid tribute to ruth bader ginsburg noting the cheater originally hoped for a life in music she was not an opera star but she found her stage right behind me
1:10 pm
in our court room. there she won famous victories that helped move our nation closer to equal justice under law to the extent that women are now a majority in law schools not simply a handful. later she became a star on the bench where she sat for 27 years or $483.00 majority concurring and dissenting opinions will steer the court for decades justice ginsburg's coffin was then taken to the steps of the supreme court since the announcement of her death on friday the area has been transformed into a shrine to the woman who'd become a liberal pop culture here or the notorious or b.g. if she hadn't done what she did for gender equality i don't believe i would be an attorney i think the reason we're here is. she was such a such an icon such
1:11 pm
a bad person but she did so much for women and men. among those who will pay their respects president trump is expected to visit on thursday morning he says he will announce his nominee for ginsburg's replacement on saturday and is keen for 9 justices to be seated in the event the results of the presidential election end up at the supreme court 2 candidates both women have emerged as the front runner as barbara leggo who is based florida i'm cuban american some around the president favor her for the potential electoral benefit with latino voters in must win florida as well as nevada and arizona however a devout catholic amy kearney barrett has the favor of conservative religious republicans they feel she will not surprise them with her judgments if she takes her place in the supreme court ginsburg will lie in state in the u.s. capitol on friday the 1st woman ever to have been afforded that all or. washington . crowds are gathering outside thailand's parliament and buying caucus politicians inside discuss whether to amend the constitution is the latest in weeks of student
1:12 pm
protests calling for reforms many want to change in the palace of the monarchy and an end to military involvement in the government that's going to announce who weigh in hay and bank where those protests are when what should we expect to come out of today's session in parliament. yes well this is going to be a very very long complex and difficult process this is a constitution that was written by the military after they staged a coup in 2014 it did then pass through a referendum in 2017 but that referendum was held under pretty much questionable conditions so the people gathered here the people that we've seen and on the streets of bangkok over the past few months see it as a very undemocratic documents and they want it to change and by design of this constitution is very difficult to change so what we've seen over the past 2 days our proposals put forward 6 different proposals put forward by political parties to
1:13 pm
parliament for discussion and then later on thursday they will vote the members of parliament of the lower house and the senate is in the upper house will vote on each of those proposals for constitutional change there is a possibility that none of those 6 proposals will receive and not support to go to the next phase but if one does then basically it will go to the stage of forming a constitution while drafting committee and then the whole long process really starts all over again to these protests that are gathered there behind you and they've been calling for change for 2 months now how today's events likely to satisfy that among them. right now i think it's highly unlikely as i say they view this constitution as undemocratic and one of the main things that they see as undemocratic about the constitution is the make up all the 250 members senate it was hand picked by the military after they were in 2014
1:14 pm
and the senate does have an awful lot of power including the power to hand pick and i'm going to make did prime minister so that is one part of the constitution that the protesters who have been on the streets and opposition parties as well want to change but the reality is that the proposal. parliament that will be voted on later on thursday that is likely to receive the the most support from those members of parliament and the senate is is one that is backed by the ruling party and party it is already said that the section of the constitution relating to the makeup of the senate and also perhaps more importantly the role of the royal family in thai society those sections shall remain untouched so it is highly unlikely that anything that happens in parliament over the course of the next few hours is going to stop these protests that we've seen in bangkok over the past few months ok well hey joining us there from bangkok thanks very much. as a korean official who went missing from
1:15 pm
a fishing patrol boat on monday was shot stares and then burned by north korea that's what south korean military believes it says the man was possibly trying to defect when he was spotted by north korean troops but mcbride is following developments from seoul. this is been one of the most serious incidents to take place on this tense maritime border between north and south korea in a number of years and it unfolded over a couple of days at the start of this week south korea says that the official went missing from this patrol vessel on monday and that on choose day they detected through different intelligence sources that he had drifted north of the border clinging to some sort of flotation device or raft had been intercepted by a north korean patrol vessel was being questioned and that soldiers later that same day then shot him multiple times and set fire to his body there has been
1:16 pm
a strong reaction from south korea of condemnation you can. only condemn such an atrocity and strongly demands north korea provide explanations and punish those who are responsible south korea's presidential office has called for an apology but part of the problem across the d.m.z. at the moment is because relations have soured north korea has cut all of the hotlines between north and south the incident also seems to indicate the fear that exists in north korea of covert 19 because south korean officials report that the soldiers on board the north korean vessel were wearing gas masks and the fact that they burnt the body of this official seems to indicate they are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths not to allow the coronavirus to be brought into north korea. still ahead here on this news hour including mozambique asking for help to fight
1:17 pm
armed groups who forced tens of thousands of people from their homes. 3 of their family members were gunned down by indian soldiers why the military has begun disciplinary proceedings against that. and hollywood film star ryan reynolds makes moves to invest in a small football club in wales coming up with. israel is imposing even stricter coronavirus lockdown measures and infections it's been less than a week since a nationwide shutdown was imposed on mr benjamin netanyahu says the restrictions are necessary to keep the company from being pushed to what he calls the edge of the abyss on this let's talk to her forces he's standing by for us in west jerusalem and harry what all these new restrictions. well they're pretty extensive
1:18 pm
already as you say israel was in the grip of a lot and impose last friday that was to some extent more permissive than the 1st time around in march and april private businesses for example ones which didn't face the public were allowed to carry on operating almost as normal now the screws have been tightened much further than they were even during the 1st lockdown all private business to be shut down apart from essential businesses those deemed essential by the defense ministry and also those such as supermarkets and pharmacies needed for daily life that is something that was opposed by the coronaviruses are who want to see that reduce the 50 percent it was necessary to go further finance minister as well as worried about critical harm to the economy some $10000000000.00 worth of that it's estimated and as well as that they are going to shut down synagogues as of 2 pm tomorrow the you're only allowed to go out and pray in groups of maximum 20 outdoors maximum one kilometer from your home exception for
1:19 pm
that coming on yom kippur the holiest day in the jewish calendar which takes place sunday evening through monday they will allow sincere guards to be open but only for groups of 10 people and protests these huge anti netanyahu protests that we've been seeing for months now near the prime minister's residence from now on during this lockdown nobody can protest beyond one kilometer from their front door and only again in groups of 20 they're also considering very restrictive measures at the main international airport closing down outbound flights and somehow you're saying that these restrictions are not only coronavirus related but also political why is that. we have to mean as far as benjamin netanyahu is concerned this is a response to the numbers if you remember what happened when we when he brought the country out of lockdown in may he said go out have a coffee have a drink and if the numbers get back to 100 a day then we'll have to start reimposing severe restrictions well they're not 100
1:20 pm
a day they're nearly 7000 a day at the moment so that is his case but at the same time throughout this meeting where all these measures were decided wednesday into the early hours of this morning there were very strong accusations coming from his coalition partners pretty difficult coalition that is between his likud party and the blue and white of benny gantz benny gantz his party members accusing netanyahu of wanting to maximize the restrictions in order to try to end these protests and as well as that netanyahu had a lot of criticism over not taking targeted measures where the hot spots are most. most increased in terms of new cases those being in israel palestinian israeli areas where indeed many mares didn't want a targeted restrictions and more help from the government but crucially an ultra-orthodox areas is ultra-orthodox parties in his coalition government they were very clear that they would not expect anything that they saw as discriminatory
1:21 pm
so weeks ago when the coronavirus czar was trying to get a very targeted measures in place that was nixed by netanyahu many feel that he was just acceding to the demands of these powerful ultra-orthodox parties so he has had a lot of political criticism and there is more coming from the opposition as well wondering how they're going to get out of this lockdown which is due to end on october the 11th and whether these measures will be enough to avert a furred lock down in the future our forces in western somehow i thank you. now the french health minister has unveiled stricter coronavirus measures in some areas but stop short of a full lock down their liver and says it's necessary to break the chain of infection before the health system gets overloaded bars and restaurants in the marsay region and the overseas department of quarter loop will close for 2 weeks reported more than 13000 new cases on wednesday and the british government has launched its phone up to track the virus in england and wales for months spine show
1:22 pm
jewel cases there a surgeon with nearly $6200.00 infections announced on wednesday to total to more than 410000 johnson announced titles for actions on tuesday which he said could last up to 6 months. well some had hoped that 2020 would be the year the world came together to tackle the climate crisis but the kind of virus pandemic has delayed global negotiations on thursday while the u.n. general assembly will try again to get talks back on track the clock has more. across the world. take this right here is a climate emergency unfolding before our very eyes where there was once a thick layer of sea ice is now fragmented broken up sea ice is already lost 2 thirds of its volume over the past 4 decades and this year's summer extent is the
1:23 pm
2nd lowest ever measured their rapid loss of sea ice in the arctic it's a sobering indicator of how close they are planets circling the drain. as the arctic ice melts more heat will be trapped by the ocean and all of us will be more exposed by the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. than this year those impacts have been brutal from record wildfires in the western united states. and in australia to seemingly endless storms and hurricanes queueing up in the atlantic making landfall with colossal and catastrophic effect. about now and we've only got about one degree of warming at the moment and already we're seeing more extreme weather we're seeing millions of people displaced from their homes there we're seeing devastation both in poor countries and increasingly in rich countries despite donald trump's dismissal of reality it will start getting cooler. you just
1:24 pm
watch in contrast this week an unexpected boost from the world's biggest source of greenhouse gases that's china who pledged carbon neutrality by 2060 taking advantage of u.s. reluctance to address the climate question. just how you think she sure covered 900 reminds us that humankind should launch a green revolution and move faster to create a green way of development to preserve the environment and make mother earth a better place for all. back in 2015 christiana figueres is one of the chief architects of the celebrated paris agreement while welcoming china's move she said the country like the rest of the world was at a major fork in the road because of the size of the economy china still consumes more coal than the rest of the world combined so you have these 2 internal realities in china that are basically one representing the future world that they want to move toward and the other representing the old world that they are moving
1:25 pm
beyond and we have to understand that this is a process. at a time when the opportunity for changes fast melting away there is no doubt world leaders need to front up and show the kind of commitment they got to paris agreements over the line mcleod al jazeera. tom burke is chairman of the 3 g. 3rd generation environmentalism and he joins us via skype from london good to have you with us is there that kind of commitment that talked about that the end of his report that is needed to address climate change. yeah it's right it's a bit like a virus you know we don't do enough not we'll have to do an awful long more much more painfully later and what's good about that chinese announcement and the recent announcement from the commission that it was also going to put up its commitments under the congress agreement we're going to see the same i think from the prime minister at johnson today we're beginning to see at least
1:26 pm
a bit of restoration of the momentum that's been lost during a pandemic and i think that's quite good in it isolates the united states and isolates australian a bit loopy so i think we're seeing a bit of a restoration of momentum given how about here it's not just the americans they drive and the fires but also floods at the stop at the embankment dash other parts of the world where it again a signal from the world that we're doing and ourselves as well as about it we don't stand we can say it's good but is it good enough all we know is whom are we even if we're not on target to reach that 1.5. limits to global warming 520-2050. you're absolutely right laura it's not enough we are moving in the right direction but we've got to go in that direction a lot faster and there are no really big technological obstacles to us doing here
1:27 pm
we already have the technology we need to be carbonized our economy and we know that we can afford to do it it's not going to cost more to use more efficient seasons gonna cost less the real problem is that we haven't put enough attention into the kind of social adjustments the political adjustments are going to take place and we're not paying enough attention to that side of the issue what you do for countries for instance like mozambique who are dependent on fossil fuels for their future revenue sources so the oldest got to think much harder about how to accelerate. down there right off so just to bring tire back into the discussion when we see them moving away from fossil fuels that claim to go carbon neutral by 2060 that's going to have a knock on effect doesn't these other countries like that rely on fossil fuels they'll be all the technologies available heat fan and cheaper rates for the other countries to get onboard. yes though i think it's important to remember that china
1:28 pm
like a lot of other countries it's an aspiration might be right but it's jew but certainly getting a bit behind it still investing far too much in new coal plants for instance and yes it will mean not just with china about making technology available that's cheaper but we've also got to be thinking about how do we. create incomes for those countries that are we depend on fossil fuels from those incomes we can't simply deal with this as a set of separate issues we've got to understand that the whole world has to pull together that means the losers have got to read getting something as well as the when it's ok we'll be keeping a close eye on events the united nations general assembly latest day when they've got this high profile climate change meeting for the movie they tend to come back thanks very much for joining us thank you. ok it's time now for the weather his jet
1:29 pm
engine i don't know if we can blame this on climate change it was still seeing those funds in india away we are in a very very wet here she would say this monsoon year across and the but as you say i mean the india met office they they really monitor this every year very very closely so they'll have a good idea at the end of the season but let's have a look 1st of all of the soft lies i was talking yesterday course about the flooding across into mumbai and there's been yet more rain it wasn't about to just disappear but look at this last 48 hours 424 millimeters the average for the total month of september is $325.00 millimeters and then way up there in west bengal in the last 48 hours 230 millimeters to darjeeling now not surprising because the has been flooding and it really has brought a lot of mumbai to a standstill it's affected the trains in particular so transport has really been impacted not just people's homes for the rain over the next few days as some more as we go through friday but it's very heavy again up into the northeast bihar west bengal and again very heavy across into new pool and widespread as well into
1:30 pm
bangladesh by saturday those rains will stay up into the northeast but it does begin to dry off elsewhere throughout much of india from there let's head across towards japan i was talking again about tropical storm dolphin this is it that little bright mass you can see there it's good this storm has behaved well we like storms like this is stayed to the east of honshu is not made landfall what it has done is bring some very big waves along the coast that people have been asking about really making the most of those. dried a certain friday this is system pushing in across western honcho that mass of yellow and blue to the north that is tropical storm dolphin continuing to clear away it will continue to clear further as it go through saturday say it's a better start to the weekend some showers maybe a scout a thunderstorm but it's an improving weather picture really as we continue all over the weekend thanks jenny you might be a good tropical storm as it was an unusual name isn't it yes when we're not keen on the. whole home to hunt for that. right.

1:34 pm
sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as through protection of people and their property on the other hand the government has mobilized humanitarian assistance for the internally displaced people and promoted socio economic development activities for the communities. following this story from the kenyan capsule nairobi and malcolm what help is mozambique actually asking for from the e.u. . the government of mozambique has requested what it described as. training and logistics for counterterrorism forces as well as medical assistance in the combat zone it struggled in its fight against the armed groups there which began their attacks 3 years ago but the armed groups have grown significantly bolder within the last year last month they took the port town of muslim prior and the government forces haven't been able to take back control of that town since what's key here in this area is vast reserves of natural gas which
1:35 pm
were discovered about 10 years ago off the coast of cabo delgado and oil companies are investing now preparing to extract that natural gas they have been for some years and territory now all the areas now controlled by the armed groups are inching closer and closer towards those coastal natural gas projects and has the e.u. indicated that to get involved in this conflict. with the e.u. parliament discussed the humanitarian situation in that area last week and passed some resolutions to mozambique and government to try and deal with the situation about 250000 people have had to flee their homes because of the violence more than a 1000 people are being killed and millions of people are in need of support just. to get by according to the humanitarian organizations now the kind of military support that the mozambican government is talking about sounds very similar to the
1:36 pm
kind of support that the european union has provided in somalia in the conflict there against the armed groups. and also in this conflict where the european union's trained mali and soldiers to fight in in the conflict they're waiting to find out if the e.u. will do the same in mozambique but one thing that we do know is that there are significant commercial european interests that the french oil company total is one of the biggest investors in those natural gas projects total investment is meant to be about $20000000000.00 in total itself has signed an agreement to. support to the mozambican ministry of defense and interior ministry in its fight against these groups ok malcolm we're bringing us the latest from nairobi on situation and thanks very much mark. on the west african regional bloc. will lift sanctions on
1:37 pm
mali if a new government is sworn in later this week members of the group closed their borders to mali and imposed trade restrictions after last month's military takeover president abraham was forced to resign as mediators are in mali for talks with the coup leaders. let's go live now to nicholas hartley he joins us from dakar in neighboring senegal and make us what concessions have the mali made in order to get these sanctions lifted well or the west african heads of states want to thank you civilian head this transition period the military wanted to see one of their. president there was disagreements over the role of the vice president who has gone to the leader of the. initially wanted him to be in charge of defense security and the foundation or the station of the state well that role for the leaders well that should be to
1:38 pm
a civilian and give it to the president right now goodluck jonathan is in the capital bamako to try to find a. nomination for a new prime minister they clearly want to see a civilian they want to see a man that they support to be in charge of that role as the head of government we're hearing that perhaps it would be someone from the m 5 opposition movement that could take that position and now interestingly we also know that good luck jonathan will be part of the swearing in ceremony on friday which which implies that there will be some sort of lifting of sanctions an announcement made by the chair of the ecowas the gun they and president. after the swearing in ceremony remember those sanctions are really crippling mali which is a landlocked country and is really dependent on the trade between the west african countries to really. for its economy during the u.n. general assembly we also heard from the french president there's $4000.00 french
1:39 pm
troops that are insuring. that are backing the state here well he says that the troops will stay during the transition period as long as there is a transition to civilian rule what we haven't heard from are the armed groups themselves during the negotiations leading up to 2 to the swearing in ceremony that's going to happen tomorrow the algerian foreign minister was in town and he was a key to press the representation that the 2 are reg armed groups and their armed groups that were that are active in the north of the country that they'd be better represented in this new. and so really all these actors at play here as well as the u.n. called for the military to free all those that have been arrested during their takeover of power since august 18th so a lot of work at hand for the miller to do and we should be having the name of
