video sent protesters into the streets across the united states and set off riots here in minneapolis and elsewhere it's rare that a police officer is charged with murder in river still that one is convicted in the concern here in minneapolis is that if derek show of an is found not guilty of these charges that those riots that began on may 25th i interrupting not to take you live to brazil where as promised the press the president lula da silva is holding a news conference in a solid pound 0 this coming a day after a court overturned a judge the supreme court overturned his corruption conviction let's listen to what he asked to see. products for years now much.

i have been involved committed to prison i guess by well 900 i was in the center of. i didn't want to be imprisoned obviously. a man of my age. a man with a big background. of. appearing in the papers. and headlines as a fugitive i did not want that for. the world. what i want is to remain here and to prove

my innocence was. but my judgment morrow. i love with him now. that's one of the. yeah yeah i thought that at the end i would. and i did get to. the old man. in the cup it will not be. every day god will be bad. you're going to be like.

a unity to me and i remain one. of the. 'd social world with my top priority look up with a bit there. immune of excessive risk that would not see them as up middle. school as a new mommy separate ways. the boys were paying for us to start this. academic. stuff. you know participate in quality products. so the boys and. i remember when the cap to any awards here we had a problem of the pie. for the new mom because i believe. reading about committees my resolution to the problem can change. 'd the way an.

acolyte you will like it back i under that gap or whatever i said so cope if you are part of the. same press pack or the running. from his crappy controller side with. through you. still. my aim was to build a political awareness and the people get. that traffic that whatever. our political consciousness of things working class is a privilege. that. i believe that is the justification about political activity can. tell you that your paper a pulitzer prize that i'll put up with all. the star wars. you know where i could.

put you 6 the record with that will fade. out of them and that is why i haven't been q.c.'s to super represent the people. and i will be the one will mark. them all bill was. cool of a guy. like that but i'll invite. anybody i love and 'd. who. was the. last. name find more a kind of back to back that will not raise their voice share robredo look at what i

did last year but other. feel. like if out you're going to put a woman to work with this there is a proposal him and. what i mean there was that it was. so keeping the feedback bell today you have some of. my wow the way the fuel. if you're just joining us on when listening here to brazil president lula da silva addressing his supporters and the media for the 1st time since a corruption charge against him was overturned monday's decision by a supreme court judge numerous chances to make a political comeback in 2017 he was convicted and served 18 months in jail and he was gone from running in office. for running for office rather and speaking

here he said he trusted at the end that he would get victory and he did get a victory. and i can lose in rio de janeiro for a small. feeling vindicated it was same yes and as we can see he's adopting a moderate tone he's talking about the injustice of his imprisonment but at the same time saying that he trusted that the system that he turned himself over because he was not going to be a fugitive and he thought that the truth would be found out at last. i don't know if it was you were seeing on the images he has in the background already something showing a difference with the government. the poster behind him says vaccines

now and emergency aid now. while the emergency aid was just suspended in january and the vaccines there's been a big controversy here in brazil because the program has been delayed partly because the president himself doesn't. downplaying the pandemic all along so he's adopting a very moderate troll but bringing marking the differences with the government how popular a figure is he still. he is an extremely popular figure. and we could say the country split half and half practically but also both is pretty popular too so it's a very divided country right now at the same time they're both 2 political figures that can be hated by the other part so they have to play with this the rejection

of the other half of brazil's population could make a political come. in the middle right he could make a political comeback monica but he hasn't exactly said yes whether he would stand in next year's election no and i think also it's i don't know how what he'll continue saying because this will continue for some time but people from his party have said it's. just a fait a political campaign for an election that will be by india. there's a lot going on but he will be a figure even if he doesn't run or he doesn't. put himself forward and it i think that they're going to 1st try to force since with the other but we already saw today 20 some governors uniting and asking. to

create a you. apologies for that we have lost connection there to money. in brazil we will bring up related to find out more about what you know there's a silver the former president of brazil has said in his 1st news conference since corruption charges against him are overturned that's had to chile now where chinese state owned companies are gaining a bigger foothold corporations are extracting billions of dollars of resources some politicians are suggesting ways to stop them a lot america at its embassy in yemen reports. from the $1000000000.00 acquisition of one of the world's largest salmon companies to the purchase of copper and lithium mines to wineries and fruit fields. china has set its sights on chile it may be a small country but it has a very long and strategic pacific coastline and lots of resources that the agent

giant needs but that's not the only attraction the most important thing for china is. window shop in. their region. to say. you know you here we are in. america but while chile's economic growth a great deal to china members of congress are warning of an aggressive investment offensive not from private capital but from the chinese state yes you might want if you don't regulate the participation of reforms light in your economy that economy could be nationalized not around country but rather by a foreign state that's what we've presented a bipartisan bill to level the playing field for everyone because we're facing an offensive by the chinese side the wants to take over strategic sectors of the economy the congressman has called drafted a proposal that seeks to regulate farm state ownership in strategic and

geopolitical sectors of the economy on the top of his lip. it is the chinese state's majority control of electricity distribution in chile cherry orchards like the one you see here may not seem to fit that description but chinese companies are increasingly buying more and more agricultural land like this farm to produce one of chile's prime exports fruit especially cherries and that's raising concerns that china may be moving towards producing packing and exporting its own fruit eventual eliminating the chilean entrepreneur altogether. 6 weeks ago at the height of peak season $1000000000.00 cherry exports to china ground to an abrupt halt. it's very suspicious exactly when we started buying this bill in congress who social networks in china who controlled the slight became denouncing that sure he's had traces of coke at 19. chiles foreign ministry refuses to entertain the notion

of foul play at least publicly but nevada role is not alone in suspecting that china was sending a veiled message that there's a high price to pay if chile decides to limit china's economic influence in human al-jazeera. the chinese government is being accused of breaching every single act of the un genocide convention in its treatment of way gore's inching john a report by more than 50 global human rights experts say is there's clear evidence china is responsible for committing genocide against the muslim way of course as from a veranda 1000000 have been imprisoned in camps in recent years mostly in the region china denies allegations of human rights abuses as a member him is from the news lines insisting that the organization that published a report he says is significant in terms of international accountability. these are

independent experience in international law in general say in china's policy of all the evidence of those and those ins tens of those in the testimony use from the terms of chain us policies and you know collaborated dumbass changes laws in china step that and come to the conclusion very very clearly that cheney is in breach of the $91.00 genocide convention on multiple occasions so this is extremely significant in terms of international accountability or what to do is change means a chain is in breach of the general convention so the onus is no on other countries are party to the general convention and this would under them set you one of them and remember cheney is also a party to this convention so the onus is on them to keep this as a seriously as it deserves they must essentially you know put into place. policies that issue that chain as they would accountable for this convention was set up not necessarily to have an academic exercise after

a general happens to discuss whether it was a general so you're not but essentially it probated to make an ism but it's just got general to it's happening in the 1st place or is the onus is no on countries to behave in a manner that actually whole chain are countable and not be passive otherwise they are also criminally liable for be complicit in the general say let's change. france's president to mannion michael says his government will speed up the declassification of secret documents from its colonial era the decision will make it easier to access information relating to the algerian war of independence but critics say blocking off thousands of once public documents shows there's still a long way to go in january a truth commission was set up to look into france's colonial history historians have called for victims sesa monies to be included algeria's war of independence lasted from 1954 to 1982 and was one of the world's bloodiest conflicts algeria
