much higher than advertised researches say the huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now trying to close extrapolate that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than anyone still. demanding change after another murder thousands defy lock down laws across the country to honor london's latest victim of violence against women. is a game police. state. and a cry for justice a year after briana taylor was shot dead in her home supporters ask why no one has been charged.

below i maryam namazie and london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up on the program. anger and anguish at a hospital in jordan at least 7 coronavirus patients die when the oxygen supply runs out. and at least 8 people were killed when a powerful car bomb rips through afghanistan's herat province. as we go to a violent deaths of 2 women are being remembered on opposite sides of the atlantic in the united states protests are marking the anniversary of the death of briana taylor shot in her home by police and then here in the u.k. thousands are defy. lockdown restrictions to pay tribute to sarah ever art whose

remains were found on wednesday she had been missing for a week vigil is on clapham common near where she was last seen our correspondent is there on the scenes but there you can see there is a great deal of anger and frustration but really also people feeling the need to come together to express how they feel about what has taken place as we said really hundreds in london but really thousands across the country because people aren't just rallying here in the capital they've also been coming together to pay their respects. in other parts of the country as well you can see flowers have been laid there messages on cards as well with the hash tag i am sarah women also have been shouting and you can see that people are feeling very passionate feeling very emotional and really many women able to identify with what has taken

place saying that they don't feel as though the streets are safe for them and they want to really come to express not only their respect for sarah ever odd but also to demand greater safety and that the issue be taken much more seriously by the government by the authorities so really a show of support and not just by women but also many men of course people gathering coming together. trying to really wanting to pay their respects and of course we will get to our correspondent who is on the scene he's been following the story and it's quite remarkable that you know many women saying that they feel quite scared to walk the streets and that it's an issue that affects everyone there had been an event that was organized but. actually it was. initially cancel their work and sounds obviously this is all happening in the midst

of a pandemic and so concerned about people coming together and a bit as you can see they're wearing mask and and emotions are running very high so people feeling the need to turn out to show their support of course. sarah ever aguas. she was walking through clapham common on her way back from a friend's house before she disappeared on the 3rd of march and a police officer wayne couzens has been charged with murder and with her kidnapping so that's how it stands at the moment but also on the other side of the atlantic people are also marking the one year anniversary of the death of briana taylor and i mean really fascinating because these 2 stories mirror mirroring each other but this is the scene right now in louisville louisville kentucky where there is a great deal of anger that one year after the death of briona taylor there have

been no prosecutions there have been no criminal charges people here are demanding justice. for the death of briana taylor and so this is the scene right now in louisville kentucky. milk you all more who kills only home good who call the police. all of those who you know little rat removal. is here that is a good all right so just listening to. people there and speeches being given. for brianna taylor this is. a year since her death and a great deal of anger in a great deal of frustration that no one has been charged but nonetheless people gathering in protest to mark the anniversary of her killing of course she was she

was 26 years old and she was shot dead when police entered her when police entered her actually roslyn jordan joins us now she's live for us in washington d.c. now there has been this payout of 12 $1000000.00 bought really makes little difference to a family that one year on still demanding justice. that's right and that's because the one officer who possibly could have been charged with firing the shots that killed briana taylor is only facing a criminal trial in a reckless endangerment charge for firing his weapon because some of the bullets from his gun entered another neighbor's apartment that trial is late it is slated to take place later this year now doesn't mean that prosecutors couldn't decide later to try to bring criminal charges against him and against the other officers

who were involved in that raid on her apartment by mistake a year ago today but so far there hasn't been any indication that prosecutors have any evidence that they think that they could use to get some sort of conviction now you mentioned the $12000000.00 settlement which was reached with briana taylor's family that is as you said not going to bring a 26 year old woman back to life but it does include some provisions that local authorities have to carry out in order to change the behavior of local police and so that is something that is worth reminding people has happened of course as we see these are people who are still mourning the death of this paramedic who wanted to become a registered nurse someone who was thinking about marrying her boyfriend and they are basically saying that they are not going to let what they perceive to be as

a grave injustice go unnoticed just because people have been focused on other issues namely trying to get people back sneed it at this stage of the global pandemic they're saying that her life very much matters and that they want the community both there in louisville kentucky and across the united states to take more actions to change police behavior to hold up police. agencies and the governments which employ them accountable for how the engage with black and brown communities in particular you know right now thank you very much roslyn jordan in washington as we've been saying and there have also been there jails and protests in london middles and other cities around the u.k. to mark the death of sarah ever are these live pictures coming to us at the moment for a minute here in london our correspondent in barbara's been following developments and of course nadine people police were urging people to stay at home for obvious

reasons because of the pandemic and to commemorate and pay their respects to sarah sarah ever are online but obviously emotions running high people feeling the need to turn out can you just tell us who has been out on the streets today because a number of different groups have been kind of collaborating with each other. to marry him over the last few hours there have been many hundreds of people here across from comet in south london this is fairly new to. sarah ever ought set off from her friend's apartment to walk a few kilometers to her house home where in south london there are floral tributes and pictures of her son stand behind me police have kept away until now they're starting to ask people to disperse their character low profile presence here but they had told people that they shouldn't come all the noises of the vigils

under the banner reclaim these streets also said that they were calling off the nationwide vigils after they failed to get the high court to intervene to make it legal so under the cover of 19 restrictions police officers now telling people that gatherings are not supposed to happen they're taking a soft approach at the moment they have been learned. subject of some of the charts in the last half an hour because you were saying the police officer is 48 years old has appeared in court charged with sarah overawed kidnap and murder so people here are very angry about what's happened but the wider subject motivating people to be is the issue of streets abuse harassment sexual assault which has really only still wave of consciousness if you like in this country over the last

week. yes that's right of course people are gathering to pay their respects to say but there is a broader issue at play here many women saying that they identify with what happened they don't feel safe to walk the streets what specifically are they calling for what sort of action what sort of change do they want to see nadeem. you know it's an absolutely universal theme firstly of simply wanting not to have to worry when women are walking in public not just at night but even during the day so many testimonies coming out of people being caught cold physically being assaulted being stalked and in many cases they will tell you that they've reported the incident to the police who simply said they haven't got the

resources or the time to actually follow up in britain the conviction rates for right cases which actually reach trial are abysmal and they've gone down that's something that women's rights campaigners want tackling they also want massaging need to be made a crime they want a lot more concentration on areas like social media and on different platforms hosting pates material but a lot of the voices in the last week have concentrated. on calling or men to take on the responsibility for calling out other men when they display sixty's behavior which they see as the 1st step in a chain which could lead to physical assault to rape and sadly to murder so the case of sara everett has simply opened up that discussion and a lot of people now are saying you should have been listening start listening but

also start to help us and just briefly and it will tell us a bit more about her ever out this is an international audience as you say a police officer was charged with a kidnap and murder of sarah everett and as appeared in court just give us a bit more background to the case can. we ever it was 33 she. as a marketing executive she had moved to london like many young people in britain for work basically. for a while it took a few days between her disappearance and friends and colleagues raising the alarm before. the police search really got going in a big way and eventually down in current around 80 kilometers from here in southern england police found her body in about

a wooded area near the town of astrid it's not very far from another part of ted where this serving police officer was actually arrested the police say that he wasn't on duty on the night. or ever awed disappeared but the fact that it's one of the police's own has shocked many people and as i was saying there are calls from this crowd for the police to do. the right there right but they were told they shouldn't gather here but they could they did actually go ahead with this vigil and many people have been allowed to express their feelings other people in britain france and i know he also was organizing. to actually mark the event on their doorsteps but across the country there are millions of women who finally feel like they are being taken seriously when they say that throughout their lives they face

challenges running the gamut as i was saying from just kept calling for the chalets from abuse to actually sexual assault so this conversation is opened up where it goes from now is really the key thing thanks very much indeed bob a half race in london where as you can see hundreds of people have been gathering to pay their respects to sarah and her ride and so there you can see the commemorations are continuing into the night. with al-jazeera live from london still much more to bring you on the program we look at claims the sri lankan government is targeting muslims by banning full face coverings and closing more than a 1000 islamic schools. are cast as fight back against me amar security forces despite an ever growing body count.

temperature doesn't drop much below 14 for the next couple of days with a few showers and then it's sunny once again so we're not seeing a big drop back to winter we are housings back to whether it's south of that in the middle of algeria there's a storm system developed here which means it's picking up the sand and dust this is a sand storm potential through libya moving towards north need chips there are showers that are south. of. will come today from every one of us. even those working quietly behind the scenes. so you can relax enjoy the perfect break in your journey. and when you leave with a smile we know our day's work is done cantorial it's welcome to our home.
