10:04 pm
bash numbers like. this at that point i kind of felt like all i could do was catch what was going on with the camera and i just wanted to make sure that everything in their stride was moving around a lot. and you feel is important to document what was going on you notice. how they're washing all this. really really. make a lot to take in 1st. i. almost walked away at 1st because it was a lot to watch but i knew that it was wrong i could just walk away even though i couldn't do anything about it. and since that time since. this happened last year what what impact has it had on you know that. well it didn't really affect the

10:06 pm
you not remember. just a few questions for you. do you recall. being interviewed by agent peterson ryerson of minnesota bureau of criminal apprehension. you remember talking to 2 police officers about what you observed what you saw things of that nature yes and if i told you their names were each in its right or center peterson would you have any reason to dispute me. ok and they were court of that call is that correct yes. and then again. i believe just within the. last 2
10:07 pm
or 3 days you met with the prosecution team yes they had and you told that give them some more information as well yes or so do you recall telling agent peterson. and ryerson as well as the prosecution team that while you were there you observed the officers check mr voice raise your pulse. i said i don't believe they did. that to ever on his body i thought at one point that i did see someone try. nothing changed. that thing their body language or anything change ok. do you recall were you given an opportunity to listen to hear previous statement. re overt even a transcript of your previous. would you disagree with me if i told you you said i even saw them checked his pulse multiple
10:08 pm
times before. i would not agree with that you would not agree with that yet because i don't remember. you don't remember that now. kerry stated sure back when you were interviewed by police officers and. you told them they saw their officers checked his pulse multiple times before he struck i do not believe i said multiple times or just witness your. verses or. through 4 think there are some good points of the went on to.
10:09 pm
ask you know you got it right. certainly did you tell agents ryerson and peterson that you saw the officers check for small to. yes and even then afterwards i told them. they looked like they did not find one. you. described 3 officers you were yes. you would agree to this day you were angry at what you saw is routine describe others in the crowd as.
10:10 pm
we would assume. for the. us that you ask them questions. to refresh your recollection about that portion of what is. a little bit. that they know is obvious is came to my house it was multiple times of being bothered and it was kind of like a pattern for spader if you want to. act so thinking about it today in terms of what that day. what it just tell the jury what he saw in terms of somebody. who. i don't exactly remember standing right there all the way because it's kind of like it now. but it
10:11 pm
. we're watching the video i remember seeing it so it was torture is. his religious radicals behind his back. and was that person mr shah. that was someone else and are you unclear about whether or not that was an actual. as you said they didn't change anything they were doing her. and when did you assume that if they had that that if they were concerned they wouldn't change me. yes when they have gotten up off them is that what you expected to happen yes that is what i expect they would do you ask questions about being angry. were you upset about what was going on in front of you yes did you. attack anybody
10:12 pm
head anybody. you know threaten the officer is in any way you know so what you say very well. i was upset because there was nothing that we could do is bystanders except watch them take this news late in front of our eyes and when you say we were all of you doing what you really mean now getting physical and throwing punches and making friends kurds. you raise the. most with us.
10:13 pm
the trial of show in the form of police officer who's charged with the murder and manslaughter of unarmed black man george floyd this is day 2 of the trial and we've been hearing from witnesses today who were there on the scene or some of them one of them who even filmed the events who described how she has blamed herself for not intervening and we heard just now from a witness who's who was not seen because she's under age and she talked about saying she knew that it was wrong and she couldn't just walk away. and we all just sit we'll have. at the moment awaiting the next witness to come in and we've had some quite upsetting. testimony and also from the defense an attempt to undermine the witnesses to suggest that they remembered things differently after the event
10:14 pm
john hendren is live in minneapolis so. clearly the strategy emerging that that the prosecution want to focus on is what they saw in that video as well and the defense trying to suggest that it's an angry mob who changed to what happened on the ground . that's true and in testimony after testimony today we've seen 2 central themes a sense of impotence among the bystanders and anger over what they saw and the bystanders repeatedly talk about how they urged the officers to get their knees off of the back and neck of george floyd of course it was derek show them who's on trial here whose knees were on the neck of lloyd but the 2 other officers were also on floyd at the same time and you hear these bystanders talk about how traumatized they were afterwards in one case there is an 18 year old girl who testified and she
10:15 pm
said that she's a want to actually who took that iconic video that we've all seen where the officers. flew i'm sorry george floyd for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and she said. there have been many nights when i have apologized to george floyd for not being able to help him more and she talked about how she had family members who were black and that she thought of them when she thought of george floyd so there was some powerful testimony a lot of tears today. including one young man who was asked by prosecutors why he called. i called the police on the police and he said i thought i had witnessed a murder. and this is. what is the thing for the prosecution.
10:16 pm
the prosecution seems to be just trying to say look what you saw in that video is all you need to know sometimes it's all right in front of you and is one prosecutor said you can believe your eyes and so what they're doing is getting witnesses to corroborate what happened on that video and suggesting that everything off camera happened just as one might imagine it would and the people whose voices were in that video were among those people who testified today so the prosecution's story is really look we saw. george floyd's neck and in the prosecution's argument there's a saying that directly caused. that killed george floyd and that's going to the argument we expect them to continue making through the end of next week when they wrap their case or if they keep to the judge's schedule then you'll have the defense's side and their side is very different their side is that there were
10:17 pm
things going on off camera that people didn't know about the officers behind the car were having conversations and they seemed to be suggesting that there was a growing angry an unruly mob they keep asking these witnesses if they were angry and in the case of one witness he says no i wasn't angry i was professional. but. that event is also expected to go on to say that it wasn't actually children's neat george floyd they are saying it is a combination of the drugs he had allegedly ingested including methamphetamine and fentanyl some heart trouble that he had had. encoded 19 which he had contracted all of which is reflected in the official medical report about report does conclude that his death was a homicide that is death at the hands of another person but he says it was due to a heart stoppage complicated by the police having constrained him on the ground
10:18 pm
and put a knee on his neck there was a private autopsy done by the floyd family which may or may not come into this court case and that autopsy says straight out he died of his fixation and that it was their children's needs that seems to be the main argument there is expected to play out in the coming weeks here 100 thank you very much indeed and i'm sure we'll come back to you later on for more on the trial and we will of course bring you more from the minneapolis trial as soon as they return there to the court. on the other news now in the united states and 13 other countries have expressed concern over world health a world health organization's report on the origins of code 19 in january and international team of experts traveled to happen in china's hu bay province where the virus was 1st detected in late 2019 but the report doesn't pinpoint exactly
10:19 pm
where the disease came from the u.s. state department said there must now be a renewed commitment by w.h.o. and all member states to access transparency and timelines it's critical for independent experts to have full access to all pertinent human animal and environmental data research and personnel involved in the early stages of the outbreak katrina you went to the seafood market center the search has more on the access the scientists were given by the chinese. weeks after the team completed their mission here in mohan they released this report into their findings in $120.00 pages they detail the thousands of dollars that's they analyzed including the 1st corner virus cases and local mortality rates the report doesn't come to any firm conclusions but it says that the most likely source of the corona virus is bats or some other wild animal and having found that reality very cruel various
10:20 pm
strains. to size. in the region all showing in southeast asia in general going to these bats are leaving is a strong indication that that's where this forces special attention in the report is given to this location this is the one on the food market with the 1st case of the culprit 19 were identified the team visited this location although it's been shut for more than a year while animals were sold here but they found that many of those 1st cases of coke in 1000 were not in fact linked to this market they also visited a hungover met lab on the outskirts of the city and said that it was a very unlikely that that lab was the source of the outbreak however the w. hato director general himself says that that theory needs to be more slowly investigated and said that members of the beach team face many difficulties when accessing grower data where we do not have full access to the. data we wanted.
10:21 pm
that has been put as a recommendation for future studies so the idea is that because we didn't have time of because. certain authorization need to who will be given before we could get that sense of the data we would bet it would be and could be done in the 2nd phase of the studies critics of the w.h.o. mission on the report stated the team was forced to take much of the information provided by the chinese government at face value they say it was something more of a highly curated government tour rather than an independent scientific investigation for its part denies that it would held any information from the w.h.o. and says it has cooperated fully with the international community beijing has condemned what it says is politicizing of the investigation and called for the show to investigate coronavirus outbreaks in other countries let's take you straight back to minneapolis on the trial of former police officer derek sherman good afternoon
10:22 pm

10:28 pm
fact did you learn his native ok so you now know him to be charged yet this. when you heard. he said you her voice is getting louder and what. prompted you to get out of the car what made you think you should get out of the car i guess it was kind of just a gut feeling. when you said you heard voices getting louder or was it something about the tone or what was sad it sounded serious. and what made you think it was something serious just the way everyone sounded. so what if you don't. got in the car and. george. own conscience. it and then on the snow ok someone and.
