9:05 pm
shared take relations with the chilled me and while our which is modest so there are relations people from there have come to misery and that mad it from that settle down so that's why there is a connection and that's why people ought to be supporting the refugees and are welcoming them that's what it leads to the government. said that we will welcome. the strong young man but again the government of india has issued a notification thing that you know all refugees must be deported if you look at the end time not. because we also have a lot of crimes and not all tribes support the refugees coming in the chief minister of another state which we have to if you can boundary with myanmar in a statement to the floor to really give it any give you that yes he'd do. it's
9:06 pm
really doing step pretty strong myanmar yet he said that we have to wait for what the central government or the government of india says. even when they want to see the. schools where refugees will be kept but again things that are unique you have to wait for the central government order at least 7 patients being treated for corona virus have died at a hospital in jordan after the oxygen supply runs out the prime minister says the health minister has been fired and the national medical emergency has been declared mentally as this report. and show outside assault hospital in a one hour cut to vital oxygen supplies has been blamed on the deaths of patients. it affected intensive care the tennessee and corona virus what's the backup supply a right tonight to some. but my father and mother are at the coronavirus

isolation zone inside the hospital by coincidence i was inside the hospital when suddenly the oxygen was cut we are starved who said they had run out of oxygen and that they are waiting for a truck for more supplies we received assistance from the civil defense some of them were inside the hospital and they provided oxygen cylinders and then started to resuscitate patients among them my parents' security forces being called in preventing anyone unauthorized from entering the hospital. these people have no choice but to wait for a nice. there was an oxygen outage and there were no measures to prevent this it is known that in all jordanian hospitals there are motors available just in case electricity goes down even before the crown a virus outbreak when there are surgeries at hospitals there is always spare equipment but here there was an oxygen outage. i gave my father
9:08 pm
c.p.r. 3 times and twice to my mother i called the director of the hospital at 1030 the isolation ward has only one doctor and 2 nurses to serve 50 to 60 patients this is unfair to kick. the fallout was swift health minister in the theatre obey that resigned. and king abdullah arrived turn mixed reception from crowds at the hospital he immediately ordered the hospital director to also resign parliament to set up a special committee to investigate and prime minister bush. says there is no justification for what happened and. the government and only the government takes full responsibility for this very painful incident will not result excuses or justifications about what happened what happened was horrific so it is impossible to deny or to escape responsibility for the death of one jordanian due to these
9:09 pm
failings is an acceptable. but there are people here who say the hospital was understaffed and ill prepared and many are asking why a failure like this went unnoticed until it's too late nor about a money al-jazeera. hundreds of people have defied a ban and turned out in london for a vigil to honor a murdered british woman a police officer has been charged with kidnapping and killing the 33 year old disappeared as she walked home on march the 3rd body was found on wednesday everyone's killing has ignited an international conversation about women. safety nets me tonight in baba who's with those protesters in london and the meds the band is being defined on a big scale ones. absolutely nick there are hundreds many hundreds of people here and even more people are arriving right now as the sun sets here in south london there is a small police presence there keeping their distance most of the nearly all of the
9:10 pm
people here i'm asked it's not always possible to socially distance but lots of people have been saying that they simply had to be here even though officially the reclaim the streets organizers had canceled these nationwide. because the courts refused to intervene and tell the police to work with them to allow the protests or the vigils to go ahead but i'm joined now by somebody who lives around here in the area helena matthews helena can you just tell me a bit about what made you think the feel that you had to be here it's all about reclaiming streets but i've lived on the streets and this was a whole different my community as i found out i live in a hotel near parkes accounts for me that. despite a lot of things this is not a nation it's night and it's just i cannot from the thing i'm not going to start he warns me i'm one of 4 women in the hotel and i'm the youngest one night and i found
9:11 pm
out from the number of staff saying you have to be careful because i'm missing and it's just how many times in a society sides. i know someone that rough is my demographic and it's more likely to happen to me and it has happened to me and it's happened to all my friends on the streets as well that's been housed already house or in that system and it doesn't stop i don't know what we have to do to make it stop this just it should. have been a lot of common recently about how men are waking up to how prevalent. the program is and what they need to do what your well i said earlier that cut open all 12 national i think. tanks well and i think you told me i'm not a guy i would protect my protect my daughter and i want to get my son what about this you know i have to do something or we'll have to do something. and you've obviously been homeless you have actually been on the streets at times tell me
9:12 pm
about the particular problems that that brings so it's a bit weird they're still kind of etiquettes russo from what i've learned from my experiences it huel guy now someone says if you're going out with a man that man has the right to hate you a nurse has a hope that you know that man had you all that person's man and if someone has not your man attacks you they have a right to off them it's very it's very and face it but it is still you know this was going on and it's people don't talk but if they don't know about it smart for commuting so pashtuns to favor it it does happen and i know that firsthand and if there are a couple of points which you think could be done quite quickly in terms of making cities and places around the u.k. safer food in general what would you say awareness of the better better lighting. honestly better lighting is like feeling safe and being safe by different things is not just feeling safe that is the problem women are actually on site to make you
9:13 pm
safe and feeling safe. as to how to for i mean the so so much science you know time that like this a lot safer than my cookies ringing out now because michael from con on the forehead for this interview because you know who's coming to rescue me is going to get me out because if it's going dark that's the we have 6 per se a sense of that's done because it's the outside thank you very much for your time interesting to hear your experiences there are people across the u.k. who are very angry by the death by the alleged murder at the hands of a police officer of several. every. campaign is a calling for legal changes things like making this socially hate crime so if your thirty's finally signal. actions taken seriously the police will take great care to follow up with complaints of sexual harassment of assault of rape because companies have been saying for
9:14 pm
a long time now it's simply not good enough there are people clearly concerned there in london across britain i met him thanks very much indeed anybody and i'm. sure like his government is banning a full face coverings including more than a 1000 islamic schools it says on national security grounds the president has promised to crack down on religious extremism the critics argue it's the latest measure by the sri lankan government marginalizing the muslim community it recently reversed the mandates you could make it 19 victims all true crime mongers limbs and international criticism will fernando's has the details now from colombo. the minister of public security. said that the ban of the burka is all about national security he described the book as basically a symbol of extremism and he did that in previous years gone by that you didn't see the use of the burka that much but this is very much something that is more
9:15 pm
prevalent in today's context so basically the government also looking very carefully at the draft or sort of religious schools the minister said there were over 2000 schools in the country and he did say that any school should come under a sort of a national education policy and over the house and he mentioned. facing being banned by the government now in addition to the burqa ban we also see another set of regulations that have been introduced under the prevention of terrorism act signed after the hand of the president basically it's a. about the radicalization it's called the deed radicalization of violent extremist religious ideologies those holding those views and it essentially allows for those who are suspected of who are arrested with as well as those who essentially either by force by word by deed who essentially commit acts of
9:16 pm
violence intend committing acts of violence or a sort of cost to communities how many. this law will allow such people to be detained for up to 2 years maximum to essentially be rehab militated know what the government did this with the time of tigers at the end of the war and we don't know any details so far but certainly seems that anyone found to be fitting this bracket a very large bracket that the government has given that you know it can be interpreted very widely that such people can be essentially be habited or handled essentially for rehab for up to 2 years. probably most a little news hour including calls for action in brazil as a surgeon coronavirus cases leaves hospitals overwhelmed. financial settlements and one death in the anniversary of another american.
9:17 pm
that is called the outcome of savings america's cup remains to talk to cool and he will be here with us to. sign to say the source for the ongoing break in guinea you may have been a person infected in the last up right that ended in 2016 if true it means the person carried the virus more than 5 years before spreading it the world health organization says more study. need to be done but the data rules out animals as a sole so all the contact break or at least 1000 cases have been the confirmed guinea this year more than 11000 people died in the last outbreak let's take this on we can speak to robert gary he's a professor of microbiology and immunology at tulane university joins us live by skype from new orleans robert perry welcome to the program this is not on you know
9:18 pm
seeing symptoms reema. you know this is clearly a case of recrudescence and we have seen both patients in the past you know man's years later. showing up with a lot of a ball in their eyes in their brain and cases of sexual transmission of the viruses in the testes of a male so with this person have been infectious for the whole of the time that he was carrying it all just as and when it emerged it seems that likely the virus seems to go dormant for a period of time this is 5 years so it's a fairly long period of time but it's not you know out of the question and not even unexpected really that the bars can go dormant like that and then when it does come out if there's a change in the person's immune system the viruses and replicate and unfortunately spread to other people so it would seem that then this would be the source of the
9:19 pm
current outbreak it does appear that the genetics are pretty clear about this was evolving very slowly in a person. you know transmitted it to 1st case index case it was a nurse or you know it was perhaps in her body all that time as well all right so what difference does it now make in how the disease is handled or does it not make any difference. it does make a difference for me since several instances of this now there is an outbreak going on i get in the d.r. see the genetics clearly to the outbreak that was thought to be over in the middle of 2020 so don't go all outbreaks going on it's the same time both of them now look like they're going to be sent to cases of recrudescence so we're going to have to be aware that humans appear to be reservoirs of all ours now because these are job
9:20 pm
wrecks now what we need to not do is to start to stigmatize survivors they've gone through enough already but we do need to be aware that this is a possible way that the virus generated merge i guess is also. review for as and when a an outbreak is declared done and over absolutely we've seen now several outbreaks that were thought to be over. you know recurred many years later or you know the 20146 you know outbreak in all the 3 countries that were mainly affected 0 am getting in my period there were these recrudescence cases set 234 times in each of those countries so it's things that we've seen before this is a little bit longer than we had hoped for we hope that the virus you know went up after 5 years but now we know that can happen we need to be on the outlook for it
9:21 pm
indeed probably very we appreciate your expertise thanks very much my pleasure. says that brazil is not moving in a good direction in the fight against corona virus deaths from cave 90 not c 275000 that is the 2nd highest number of fatalities in the world of the united states one of the yankee have reports now from riyadh to you know. aside for sore eyes a couple of empty beds waiting for couvade 19 patients and enough professionals to welcome them but the administer to give at a hospital in the seaside town of money is an exception in most of brazil the health care system is on the brink of collapse as the corona virus is spreading and claiming lives at an alarming rate. that's a question here we're seeing an upsurge of infections and deaths everywhere partly because people have stopped respect and social distancing last month's carnival was
9:22 pm
canceled but that didn't keep brazilians from partying without masks. doctors in this intensive care tell us they're admitting a greater number of younger patients than a year ago beds are scarce but so are vaccines in rio de janeiro diana finally had to wait in line to get her mother admitted. think beso is a spit on there were 5 people ahead of her personally she was able to wait but i'm sure that many others who were in the more critical condition didn't make it was it was facing the worst phase of the pandemic since it registered the 1st covert 19 deaths exactly a year ago this week saw a rise in the daily rate of deaths with 2000 people losing their lives every 24 hours mass inoculations could have been a light at the end of the tunnel but president to downplay the pandemic and delayed the acquisition of vaccines less than 6 percent of the population has received the
9:23 pm
1st shot so far as a result governors and mayors have decided to take matters in their own hands the city of medicare for example just announced it will buy 400000 doses of the russian vaccine enough to not be late its entire population if you're going to get all. my day we can't even count on the numbers the federal government gives us at the beginning of march the health ministry said it would buy 48000000 vaccines then it reduced the number to have at this right brazil will finish the 1st round of vaccinations and i pull may next year by then new variants will be circulating which maybe i'm into the vaccines we have now. poorest states and cities with larger populations will have more difficulties in fighting the pandemic on their own but doctors and scientists warn that if no action is taken brazil will represent a threat to itself and others. neighbors many countries in latin
9:24 pm
america almost all of them except a couple and some countries are doing better in the neighborhood but if the situation in brazil continues to be serious like this then the neighboring countries will be affected and it's not about the neighboring countries but it could go even even even beyond. the fear is that mutations was curt at a much faster rate outpacing the vaccines and spreading to the rest of the world monica and i can't i'll just sirrah rio de janeiro. more than $150.00 people have been arrested in moscow at a meeting of independent municipal deputies police raided the meeting shortly after it began they detained the participants for taking part in an event run by a so-called undesirable organization organizers of the forum say the kremlin is trying to intimidate opposition politicians ahead of september's parliamentary

9:27 pm
with the taliban and if the taliban has issues with the government they should fight each other but not us not the people or the poor people who are trying to feed their children are the ones getting killed now the united states and the united nations are pushing for the acceleration of the peace talks that have stalled in doha the afghan government has agreed to take part in upcoming summit in russia and turkey has called continue for a ceasefire from both sides for the a contraflow al-jazeera. still ahead here in understeer bolivia's former interim president in jenin and yes is arrested on terrorism insufficient charges she's accused accused of $88.00 coup against evil moronis. back in the game the app that's helping sports fans feel safe and secure again in the big apple. and defending formula one champion lewis hamilton his problems in bahrain.

elegant you what you al-jazeera are mind about top stories this and at least 6 protesters have been shot dead in the latest anti coup demonstrations in manama police are reported to have fired on protesters in mandalay on saturday so even on security forces use of live ammunition to crowds and all. 7 patients being treated for corona virus have died at a hospital in jordan off to the oxygen supply run out the prime minister says the health minister has been fired and a national medical emergency has been declared. hundreds of people have to find a bad been turned out in london for a vigil to or not a murder to british where would you like to just know a police officer has been charged with kidnapping and killing sarah ever on a death has ignited an international compass ation about women's safety. now the us city of minneapolis is agreed to pay $27000000.00 to the family of george floyd it's the largest settlement of its kind in the country's history floyd
9:32 pm
died when a policeman knelt on his neck sparking global protests $100.00 reports now from chicago the city of minneapolis his put a price on just how much black lives matter in the case of george floyd $27000000.00 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 think the state of minnesota for getting this settlement taken care. but even though my brother is not here. he's here with me in my heart because if i could give you back it i would give all that is bet the settlement is the largest ever in a minneapolis police shooting it also eclipses the 12000000 dollars the kentucky city of louisville paid recently in the death of briana taylor gunned down in her
9:33 pm
own home by police one year ago 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 the policy reforms then 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
9:34 pm
accountable. there is a prosecution team that actually cares and is fighting and if you need a reminder just think of the george floyd case and that if you don't get police and correct if you don't make these changes if you don't fix the policies that are happening. then you'll be seen as again despite this settlement the floyd family insists justice won't be served until that happens john hendren chicago rush was just noted in that report it's been one year since brandon taylor was shot and killed by police in the us state of kentucky and people are gathering in louisville in kentucky to demand justice and like george floyd who was killed 2 months later how they became a rallying cry for last year's black lives matter protests and it was shot by officers when they forced their way into her apartment narcotics raid in louisville and no one has been charged over the killing. and let's get more on this now rosa
9:35 pm
in jordan is live for us in washington d.c. and rose tell us where we're at in terms of accountability for the brianna taylor's death. well even though the police officers who were involved in the shooting of briana taylor one year ago today have not been charged directly with her killing there's always the possibility that local prosecutors could decide to bring the case against them now 3 of these officers involved in that raid on march 13th 2020 were fired from the department another officer is facing a criminal trial in connection with recklessly allegedly firing his gun into the apartment building and some of the bullets entered the apartment of a neighbor of briana taylor and so this officer is going on trial later this year in connection with recklessly using his firearm during the raid but again even though there has been this 12 noon on dollar settlement with brianna taylor's
9:36 pm
family that's a civil matter whether or not there's criminal responsibility really comes down to whether prosecutors there in louisville kentucky think that they could bring a case that could actually lead to a conviction of water more officers involved in that raid last year or a road sign for that a rose jordan and washington d.c. let's bring in les the suspense now who's a professor of political science and common studies at johns hopkins university joins us live by skype from baltimore in maryland so welcome to the program is good to have a hit so last summer we had this huge uprising in support of but lives matter has the momentum been maintained to effect the change that's required. in some ways yes. and that momentum has been transformed into a durable political ships i don't think we see the electoral results that we saw in
9:37 pm
the state of georgia where we had 2 democratic senators elected without black lives matter our level activism i don't think we would see trying to exit without that activism but what we have to do still is like hold alongside of that the reality the pandemic and it's difficult to maintain social and political movement. in normal circumstances quote unquote normal circumstances but it's incredibly difficult to do so and there are underpants global pandemic where we can't really interact with each other the same way we can't we can't be in public and engage with the public in the same way so there is so what i'd say is like a qualified yes but that qualifications that hand them to do you worry then that the focus will be lost because of the pandemic. that's a great question i i but i think it's possible but with
9:38 pm
the new administration. who and it's important to note i only supported biden because i felt i had to but what biden is doing as president is transformative we haven't seen a president make the legislative moves that he's may arguably sense lead in johnson if not f.d.r. so to that extent if we've got a government that's far more willing to make massive level shifts and then alongside those other shifts that we've seen as at the state level then it's possible that we have a sick duck shit and black lives matter activism at the same as we have significant movement on our police and police i'm right it is a national level shift that's required is never clearly families must have and families victims must have and deserve recompense but the problem runs deep doesn't
9:39 pm
it in communities right across the united states yes so it's always a challenge so and the united states of police as the police are technically under the purview of the state so we can pass national level legislation but that legislation will only get a little bit at the issue of police right so what we can do with somebody like biden is biden can put a lot more muscle in the justice department so best to get claims and then there are a number of ways that that policies that that he can create the context for policy the kind of trickle down to those 50 states and that way you know him being him being in office actually reduces the type of labor that bloglines matter activists have acted take on themselves for the last several years interesting how willing how prepared are police forces for policy reform and change they're not.
9:40 pm
they're not and the thing is. one of the things i am worried about is you know we're basically in the middle of kind of a culture a cultural cold civil war and what we haven't quite dealt with is the degree to which a number of police forces are basically infiltrated by white nationalists right so under normal circumstances again police would be recalcitrant would be reluctant to actually improve or or to take on reform you know to the kind of modify themselves but if you've got a dynamic where a number of the police officers themselves feel that they are in like a cultural civil war against cities against the populations that tend to live in cities against black poor and brown folk in general then it's going to be.
9:41 pm
i'll just say it'll be interesting to say that we can see the passions from the live pictures there in louisville kentucky right now what this is probably question's going to take 45 minutes more to answer we've only got 30 seconds to say but what would it take to bring that cultural civil war as you put it to a conclusion so why don't we take is. what is going to take and this weird to be what it's going to take is basically black lives matter style activism along with the related projects to change the culture orientation of enough whites where whites can dims cells engage in that battle more aggressively and kind of turn the tide in that conflict towards our side that's what it's going to take and that's a spence just great to get your perspective to appreciate that thanks very much indeed les unspent speak to us there from baltimore maryland. new york senator and
