those powder keg circumstances fewer than 40 days before voters choose their president all but guaranteed contentious congressional hearings ahead but for now a last quiet moment beneath the u.s. flag at half mast in honor of a woman who leaves the country more equal for individuals and more divided in politics. castro al-jazeera washington. staying in the u.s. protesters in the city of louisville have returned to the streets for a 3rd nine's following a grand jury's decision not to charge what he saw offices for the death of a black woman brianna taina his family have condemned the ruling and are calling on the kentucky attorney general to release transcripts from the grand jury protesters want to arrest and prosecution of all 3 officers involved in tennis shooting in march she have a chance he has more family. there's a sunset that the attorney general has been completely almost but he didn't present
2:12 am
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 bashed down brianna taylor's door that is the key the key issue at play here and the question is ok so the attorney general so 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 all the witnesses who don't corroborate that who say they heard nothing the other neighbors or brother tyler they say they heard no learn else with 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 he said it once and the police officer repeatedly said of that yesterday that kept on shouting police opened up police opened up even though it this is all there serves as they said it was. that's the key point in the reason that's the key point is there are 2 different rules of. kentucky is a. has a cost which means breaking down your door you're allowed to shoot at them to
2:13 am
protect your house. so that's one that would mean that the boyfriend's entirely justified in shooting the police officers as they came in because he thought this was a. something like that however if the police didn't know that they were coming in 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 for this boyfriend knew what he was doing when he shot at us therefore we were acting in self-defense so everything got a hinges on but that's pretty key. still ahead on al-jazeera a humanitarian disaster of flooding pushes another ready devastated south sudan further to the brink. but. we have the remnants so what was struggle storm beta now making its way

story and the anti-government protests in egypt speak to satirize ease who joins us on skype from new york in new jersey she's a professor of not rutgers university thank you very much for being with us sizes now they've been protests of course against surprise and death. over the past few years what is different what is unique about this latest wave of demonstrations will trigger this time is that you're having massive home demolitions particularly in the rural areas because from 2000 to 2017 there's been 2000000 constructions that did not have authorization whether they were in urban primarily shanty towns or whether they were in rural areas on farm lands and so the government has been cracking down very aggressively and telling people if you do not either vacate if it's farmland that they want to again or if you do not pay fines what they call
2:18 am
reconciliation where you pay a certain amount per square footage then the government is going to kick you out and demolish the construction so you can imagine the devastating effect that is in producing $2000000.00 construction people who will be homeless in a country where the poverty rate is 33 percent which is 8 percent more than it was in 2011 around the revolution and at a time when inflation is almost 10 percent after being 30 percent for multiple years in a row after the revolution so this is creating significant hardship for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people all across egypt significant hardship you say how badly i think from poverty and poor living conditions in the wake of the covered 1000 crisis and what's the government doing to help people. well one of the problems are one of their policies that has really attracted the ire of many egyptians particularly middle class and poor egyptians is the building of this new
2:19 am
capital in egypt the new cairo and it's costing the government $45000000000.00 the cc's also building a land i mean which is another city on the north coast which is costing the country $200000000.00 meanwhile egyptians have been squeezed financially because there are very few if any subsidies left for gas subsidies for electricity and all utilities have been lifted the subsidies for food have been lifted and the amount of food aid that's tribute it has shrunk and part of that is because the i.m.f. has pressured egypt to do that in exchange for the $12000000000.00 loan but part of it is also this neoliberal capitalist agenda that's been going on for at least 3 years in egypt at the expense of poor egyptians so now they don't have a home so they struggle to find food they can't get married there's a 30 percent unemployment rate for you think egypt that the protests seem to be more spontaneous this time around not organized by any particular opposition group
2:20 am
of more a movement how do you think the government is going to deal with this latest wave of demonstrations we saw protests of a similar nature a year ago they were of course mass arrests last summer do you expect a similar response this summer on a tougher response. well they're not organized because the crackdown on any type of collective activity has been very severe eve cannibalize on facebook you can't protest there are laws against that they've been doing prevented it detentions and sometimes kidnappings and so the the signal in the message is very clear that if you attempt to mobilize or of cause the government or vocalize your opposition then the government crackdown and what we see is use of tear gas use of bullets preventative detentions where they go around rounding up people and in some cases death and then people are in jail for who knows how long and sometimes they stay in pretrial detention for multiple years in
2:21 am
a row so this is the regime has made it very clear since it came into power that it has a 0 tolerance rate tolerance policy for opposition and dissidents so what we should anticipate is more of the same and then the real question is will you gyptian zx be willing to face death by going out and protesting in other words the lines are so miserable that they will face the part of the real possibility of being killed or imprisoned for life in order to protest or will they continue to persevere and suffer under very dire economic conditions thank you very much for talking to us. as university thank you very much for your time. aid organizations say humanitarian disaster is unfolding in south sudan historic flooding has destroyed thousands of homes in several states that's in a country where more than 6000000 people were already dependent on outside help before the floods hit morgan reports. this is what the

a major challenge so too is the risk of waterborne diseases such as malaria and cholera in flood affected areas with a fragile health care infrastructure and the coronavirus pandemic is creating further difficulties challenge that we face in addition to the abrasion thing is the whole thing related to how we keep ourselves protected from kovi we need to continue to practice physical distancing and wearing a mask where we saw in the communities today when people are actually trying to run a really good food they say for their life they were having difficulty actually practicing physical distancing it will take weeks before villages and towns affected by the floods begin to recover for the many waiting for help to arrive there hoping it doesn't take long he morgan 0. now the news 5 people have been arrested in paris after a knife attack on 2 journalists near the former offices of the satirical magazine charlie abdo the pair were on a cigarette break when they were randomly attacked as comes 3 weeks after 14
