alternately. the amount of assistance just simply pales in comparison to the scale of the problem at the beginning here in code we had some cash transfers to informal workers but they reached roughly 15 percent of the people who are working in informal labor the government doesn't have great infrastructure for distributing this sort of assistance and generally means tested caster answers so well basically programs to get cash and support people cover about a 3rd of the population that lives in poverty and that was before. so there is simply an inadequate infrastructure for dealing with the strain of poverty in egypt . now many european nations are recording or quoting big numbers of carnivorous cases as a 2nd wave tightens its grip on the continent more people are being tested now than when the pandemic 1st paint in late march but scientists say that doesn't totally

1:10 am
to realize is that it will always be us against them that we are never say when it comes to. let's go live now to. kentucky tell us more about the. family and protest is. right and a couple of 100 protesters have just left this memorial to downtown louisville and they're what is going to become a regular occurrence since when the marching around around the city they often end up back here perhaps but what we're hearing is ultimately of course as you say the demand is that the officers involved and the trial is with at least manslaughter for now though the main question is the well the main disbelief is that a grand jury didn't come up with any charges for the officers who actually shot. just for an officer who shot and inadvertently hit perhaps endangered some white neighbors lives of reality because adds to that narrative of double standards
1:11 am
there's a sense is that the attorney general hasn't been completely honest that he didn't present all the facts of the grand jury otherwise the thinking is well how on earth could have come to this conclusion. it seems a lot rides on the fact that the attorney general told the grand jury as far as we can tell but the police announce themselves before they bash down briana taylor's door that is the key the key issue at play here and the question is ok so the attorney general said that there's a witness who corroborates that what we're trying to figure out is did the attorney general also say there are 11 other witnesses who don't corroborate that they say they heard nothing the other neighbors around the time they say they heard no no no answer from the police that they were about to they're about to bash the door down and even the witness who did say that he had the police so there you said it once and the police officer repeatedly said of that testimony they kept on shouting police opened up police opened up even the witnesses on that. they said it was so that's the key point in the reason that's the key point is there are 2 different laws at stake here kentucky is a stand your ground law it has
1:12 am
a cause which means if someone's breaking down your door you're allowed to shoot them to protect your house. so that's one more one out that would mean that the relatives boyfriend is entirely justified in shooting one shot out the police officers as they came in because he thought this was a gun invasion robbery also be like up however if the police didn't know that they were coming then the police are able to say well look this is just self-defense we said we were the police they would know we were the police therefore brother terry this boy for knew what he was doing when he shot at us therefore we were acting in self-defense so everything got a hindrance on but that's pretty key and even with the put on the police's defense side 3rd we have one witness who said that. would be different from all the police folk now if we get the transcript of what the attorney general actually told the grand jury then maybe we'll decide how they came to a conclusion did he explain that there were 11 other witnesses who said they didn't hear anything from the police say they were about to forcibly enter brother terry
