my son that we have nothing and will die if we go against them i'd go and shoot back at them if i had a gun now we can't do anything tell me do we always have to keep silent and die why are we dying for doing the right thing well tony chang is keeping an eye on that situation for us from bangkok in neighboring thailand in the south of yangon on there had been a crowd of people who had gone out to protest against the arrest of 3 men who've been seized in their neighborhood in raids the police have been conducting during the night and the the security services opened fire killing 2 men wounding another who we understand has since died today then the smalling crowds came out on the streets of mandalay again the security services opened fire we've heard of a number of fatalities there one middle aged woman who we understand was just

a bystander. we've seen several other people seriously wounded including a monk so i think we're just seeing the cycle of violence perpetuated again and again the protesters have come out in slightly fewer numbers in recent days partly because the brutality they're facing people are obviously very very scared but also they've changed their tactics to they're moving faster they're more mobile they're trying to put up blockades using in some cases petrol bombs fireworks try and slow the the police advancing on their positions but they're also moving quickly through the back streets trying to regroup so you know the thing you know the tactics are changing somewhat on the streets but it is still a brutal force that the police and the soldiers are using to try and crack down. india's government has warned regionals artie's not to allow refugees to cross the

myanmar border and photos reports that about $150.00 people including dozens of police offices have already entered india since the military coup 4 states have been ordered by the indian government to begin deportation without delay mizoram state there is pushing back of chairs a 404 kilometer border with me and ma and communities there share ethnic ties with the chin community on the other side as well come up our joy is editor in chief at the news website east merger dot com focuses on india's northeast he explains why some indians in mizoram state have been very vocal about their support. the state to where we just see maximum support for the unrest in myanmar is from ms around the measles share the communications with the chin comes the chin state could myanmar which is modest so there are relations people from the bad have come to misery. matted from that settle down so that's why there is

a connection and that's why i can see fall off to the us a for supporting the refugees and are welcoming that and that's what it leads good the state government often regional province said that we will welcome refugees strong young mother but again the government of india has issued a notification saying that you know all refugees must be deported if you look at the end time off each other because we also have a lot of tribes and not all tribes support the rectory just coming in the chief minister of another state which we have to do to connect boundary with myanmar in a statement to east logic when you give us an interview told us that yes he is willing to accept refugees from myanmar but they have yet he said that we have to we have to follow what the central government the government of india says. even went on to say that the best schools where dr g.'s would be kept but again saying

that you have to wait for the central government audit. now moving on and a car bomb in afghanistan province has killed at least 8 people and injured dozens a hospital spokesman says the explosion late on friday night also destroyed several homes no one has claimed responsibility but local officials have claimed the taliban just a few hours later in a statement the un security council said it condemned in the strongest terms the alarming number of attacks deliberately targeting civilians in afghanistan the statement continued to these heinous attacks of targeted civil servants the judiciary the media health care and humanitarian workers including women those who protect and promote human rights and ethnic and religious minorities well let's not speak to fear a controversial issue joins us from kabul for this latest attack as the u.n. pointed out had civilian casualties but it does appear to have potentially been targeting a police station what more do we know. seems

that the police station was the actual target what would make this attack that happened last night in herat different is that it happened inside an urban center herat is the 4th largest city in afghanistan and if you look at the pictures that are coming out of the city since last night they're absolutely devastating and whoever did it seems like they were planning to inflict maximum damage it seems like it was a minivan but it was packed with explosives that blew off and some people that i've spoken to they told me that this had not happened late at night but at other times of the day when more people reality in the streets there will be even more casualties and this is something that could make this attack have more significance because the violence has been reaching out president of levels in the past year would have not been seeing is that urban centers of big cities the tact they have been spared from big attacks so it would be interesting to see whether this will be

an isolated incident or. it will be the beginning of more similar attacks happening inside big urban centers we have to remember that all this is taking place against a backdrop of renewed push towards accelerating and reviving the afghan peace talks that seems are not really going anywhere in doha there's 2 summits coming up in russia and in turkey and just so while we go after the officials did say that the afghan one governments will be attending both sides there are fears here that need all this new efforts about peace coming to this country with all this violence taking place afghans could start to losing hope you know those peace talks because as some people have were telling me how can afghans will leave in any peace when there's all this violence taking place across the country especially those targeted killings that have been taking a huge toll on afghan society and with many activists telling me that afghans has

been to have been spending so much time trying to figure out just how to stay alive it's hard to see how their minds can start thinking about other things like the peace process or even trying to better their lives right here in a star for your country for you there with all the latest for us from the afghan capital kabul thank you so much for you now the u.s. city of minneapolis has agreed to pay 20 $7000000.00 to the family of george floyd the largest settlement of its kind in the country's history freud died when a policeman knelt on his neck finale 9 minutes sparking global protests the officer is set to go on trial and the royal family family says that this cash payout is just one step on the road to justice john hendren reports. the city of minneapolis has put a price on just how much black lives matter in the case of george floyd $27.00 moon

in dollars that's the amount the city has agreed to pay in a civil settlement with floyd's family in the racially charged case of a black man who died beneath a white police officers knee i thank the state of minnesota for getting that settlement taking care. but even though my brother is not here he's here with me in my heart because if i could give you my back i would give all that is bad the settlement is the largest ever in a minneapolis police shooting it also eclipses the $12000000.00 the kentucky city of louisville paid recently in the death of briana taylor gunned down in her own home by police one year ago friday a floyd family lawyer says the beneficiaries go beyond one family the financial compensation most directly impact george floor and his family their

future of their family but it is tough to see ripped the ems down to fix all of us other cities will think twice he says before allowing police to use chokeholds no knock warrants and other controversial tactics because in cases like this one as george floyd's family reacted to this settlement the man who knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds was less than a mile away he has spent the week in a minneapolis courtroom where the court is selecting jurors to decide if he should be convicted of murder derek chauvelin faces 2nd in 3rd degree murder and manslaughter charges and the risk of decades in prison the other 3 officers will face charges later this year of aiding and abetting him those officers will be held accountable there is a prosecution team that actually cares and is fighting. if you need a reminder just think of the george flute case. and that if you don't get policing

correct if you don't make these changes if you don't fix the policies that are happening. then you'll be remiss again despite this settlement to floyd family and just as you're going to that happen john hendren who crosses. staying in the us senate majority leader chuck schumer is now the latest new york politician calling for the resignation of governor andrew cuomo who is accused of sexual misconduct cuomo is facing several allegations of sexual assault and harassment but is refusing to step down there's also a growing scandal over his handling of the covert crisis his top aides are accused of altering days to obscure the number of deaths from the disease and nursing homes . believe it is former interim president janine onions has been arrested after allegations of a coup against her predecessor even more as an years as facing charges of terrorism sedition and conspiracy she took over as interim leader after all as
