general failed and vowed to keep protesting until the officers who shot the charged us. she changed the course of american. justice ruth bader ginsburg makes history again becoming the 1st woman to lie in state in the u.s. capitol. complex program we begin this hour in egypt where there are reports that at least 2 protesters have been killed after thousands of people to find a police crackdown to protest against the government for a 6th straight day dozens were arrested when the homes were raided ahead of the demonstrations but many still took to the streets to express that anger over corruption a deteriorating economy and for living conditions but they're also demanding the resignation of president abdullah fatah sisi the protests are in response to
10:02 pm
a call from exiled activist muhammad ali egyptians to stage what he called a day of rage. let's get more on this alledged militia al his endo what more do we know about these these 2 fatalities general well mary and we've seen footage of what appears to be live ammunition being used in several of these protests particularly in giza which has been the epicenter of the demonstrations since they started last sunday as well as in. as it's sometimes known as which held some of the larger gatherings on friday the reports are of true or 3 at least anti the protesters being killed and several others being injured obviously this isn't anything new in terms of or surprising rather in terms of how the egyptian security apparatus has been dealing with obviously this is the same security apparatus that has been accused of conducting the worst massacre in
10:03 pm
modern egypt's history according to human rights watch notably that which took place right after the coup of 2013 but what's significant is that these are the 1st fatalities in this latest round or latest wave of descent through military rule whether that's will scare people away we're not quite sure we've just seen video that's come out of one of the areas in najaf to india's a governorates where one of those were killed where protests are continuing in spite of that so it would appear that at least it's angered people further or at least angered some people further than it has scared them off the streets carol what do we know about the scale of these protests. well they've they're not huge numbers in the sense that we haven't seen a massive one like we've seen before that took place either interfere or not substance he or other even back in 2008 and those april 6th movements they are
10:04 pm
but they are large in the breaths of geography that they are taking place so they are taking place all the way from the southernmost point of egypt namely us one luxor and all the way up to the north northeast of the country and even there were some protests that took place in certain sections of xandra as well what's important here is to look at the makeup of the protesters so if we look at the age demographic you're talking about younger people who were in their early teens or children during the 2013 massacres that took place in the square another and therefore maybe don't have the same fear or that those who witnessed it at an alder age would have if you look at the economic socioeconomic factor and demographics behind them you're looking at people who are in the rural suburbs those who depend on the farmland those who have been directly impacted by the demolition orders that he has given which essentially has made thousands of people
10:05 pm
homeless when we saw that these huge demolition not huge rather wide scale demolition orders that impacted all these different shanty towns essentially across the country where people were standing with their belongings police coming into their homes throwing them out of the window and then bulldozers coming to knock them down as far as these people are concerned they have no other future. and therefore they've got nothing more to lose their homes have been destroyed it's not like they had stable income jobs it's not like their life was going anywhere in terms of the economic prosperity see that sisi promised but never delivered and therefore they've decided to take to the streets and that's what's really significant because if you do away with the fear factor then anything is possible obviously it's still early days despite 66 consecutive days of protests but there is a sizeable anger that's being expressed across several areas in egypt. all right tamala shale in doha thank you jamaal.

10:11 pm
a killing in march it comes hours after protesters in louisville defied a curfew on thursday night to demand justice for the 26 year old hospital worker they want to arrest and prosecution of all 3 officers involved in taylor's shooting inside her home the grand jury decided on wednesday not to file substantial challenges against the offices one was charged for a shot hitting a neighboring apartment. going to jail is on bianca alston read this message from his mother about kentucky's attorney general daniel cameron. what i had hoped is that he knew he had the power to do the right thing that he had the power to stop the healing of this city that he had the power to help me in over 400 years of oppression what he helped me to realize is that it will always be us against them that we are never say when it comes. well let's go straight to john hendren who's any louisville and anger and frustration that john from brianna tailless family.
10:12 pm
that's right we heard it from the lawyer benjamin crump he wants to see the transcript of whatever the attorney general sent to the grand jury and you heard the mother there talking as well and they both what they really want to know is did the prosecutor ask for charges to be preferred against the officers who actually shot briana taylor because as we know no one has been charged for that the grand jury did not come out with charges against anybody for shooting briana taylor the only charges that were levied 'd were against a single officer for reckless endangerment of an officer who was charged because he fired into neighboring apartments seemingly indiscriminately and they were there was a family of 3 a white family and van is the basis for those 3 reckless endangerment charges so a lot of passion there and the crowd of course here is very receptive they say
10:13 pm
they're going to continue to bring flowers to brianna taylor's memorial here they will keep chanting her name in the streets but until someone actually pays for that they say they will remain out here and as you can see there are people here bringing their children this is a fairly safe place during the day and even during the evening what we have seen is that it hasn't been terribly violent events different from what we've seen in places like minneapolis minnesota where george floyd was killed and commotion wisconsin where jacob blake was shot and paralyzed by police in those places we saw a lot of burning some looting and in here there were certain attempts to burn things down a couple of broken windows but really that hasn't happened because police have come in big force and they've shut down any kind of violence and after curfew they've been pretty well shutting down operation. by arresting people 127 people on wednesday night 24 people on thursday night here it is on friday and things so far
10:14 pm
looking peaceful over the weekend can be trouble for these protesters and there is this newly released video. right that led to brianna taylor's killing and at the moment soft to one of the police offices was shot tell us about the the content. that's right that was released by the lawyer of one of the officers who were on the raid that struck briana taylor's apartment his name was jonathan mattingly now he's the guy who is charged with the reckless endangerment shooting i'm sorry no he's not forgive me he was at the front door of briana taylor's apartment and what happened was the police came there's a dispute as to whether they identified themselves or not and relatives boyfriend was in the room police did not know that he was he had a registered firearm and thinking that someone was breaking into the apartment
10:15 pm
possibly briana taylor's old boyfriend he fired a shot through that door then police fired more than 30 shots back in but that one shot injured officer mattingly in the leg in that video the body camera video shows him being dragged off and it's 'd a lengthy process his 30 to 45 seconds or so but his lawyer has released that to show that he was wounded in the process but it's not clear whether anybody will ever be held responsible for firing the shots that actually killed briana taylor vat's what people here in the streets want the prosecutor here the attorney general has not let me those charges but there's a federal investigation and that would look into whether there was a violation of briana taylor's civil rights so there are still the possibility for charges there vats where brianna taylor's family and lawyers are hoping for now. thank you very much for the movie john hendren reporting to us. oh now police in
