reporters inside the courtroom now only 2 journalists are allowed inside because of coronavirus concerns they said and they can see the jury they reported back that several of the jurors were visibly shaken and gave a sympathetic expressions on their face as some of this very dramatic testimony emotional testimony was given from some of these eyewitnesses so clearly this is what the prosecution was trying to do but in the same sense the defense has been insinuating and even said that this trial in their view will come down to one thing how did george floyd die everybody knows that he died that's not the question it's how and the defense is going to moving forward going to argue that he died george floor died from drug use drugs were found in his system and they're going to argue that he died from preexisting health conditions and not from the needs of

derek children nevertheless the testimony today was very powerful very impactful and it certainly got the attention of everyone that was watching. to me i'm on now where the ethnic armed group the qur'an national union says that the military is sending thousands of soldiers to areas that it controls in the southeast strikes also reports of targets is one of the bases and a village in korean state thousands of people have been displaced following similar attacks over the weekend hundreds of fled to neighboring thailand and in another development 3 of the armed groups in myanmar say they will join the revolution if the military doesn't stop the killings the u.s. government is ordering all of its not essential staff to leave me and that sites safety concerns as violence continues across the country a local monitoring group says that more than 520 people have been killed by the joint since february screw. indonesia says that it's recovered the culprit voice

debts 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 being found that reality very cruel various strains. 2 sides. in the region all showing in southeast asia in general going to these bats and leaving is a strong indication but that's where the sources special attention in the report is given to this location this is the one on the market with the 1st page of the culprit $900.00 were identified the team visited this location although it's been shut for more than a year wild animals were sold here but they found that many of those 1st cases of coated 1000 were not in fact linked to this market they also visited a 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. hotel director general himself says that that theory needs to be more fully investigated and that members of the beach team faced many difficulties when existing glory days where we did not have full access to the real data we wanted. that has been built as a recommendation for future studies so the idea is that because we didn't have time or because. certain or to resume should need to who will be given before we could get that sense of the data well i 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 say 15 or so take much of the information provided by the chinese government based on. something. government or rather than an independent scientific investigation they doing 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 has condemned what it says is politicizing of the investigation and called for the w.h.o. to investigate coronavirus outbreaks in other countries the white house says there should be a 2nd stage in the w.h.o. study the report lacks crucial data information and access it represents a partial and incomplete picture there was a joint statement as i noted that was put out we also welcome a similar statement from the e.u. and e.u. members sending a clear message the global community shares these concerns there are steps from here that we believe should be taken there's a 2nd stage in this process that we believe should be led by international international and independent experts they should have unfettered access to data they should be able to ask questions of people who are on the ground at this point time enough to stop the w.h.o. could take our white house correspondent kimberly how to explain the tricky part of

the buy the been a strangeness treading. the united states under donald trump said it did not have any confidence in the world health organization the troubled ministration had pulled the united states out of that body said that it was too close with china this is something that joe biden rectified when he came to office and so it was important for the white house press secretary to note that there is still confidence in the global health body as a whole what they are talking about specifically in terms of its concerns is the study itself and that's why they're looking forward to a phase 2 where there can be more transparency and more data in terms of how this is conducted what the united states is doing is essentially not trying to cast of the blame but really to make sure that this never happens again in terms of the covert night pandemic that has killed more than 2 and a half 1000000 people worldwide and more than half

killed more than 340 people 1000 people in brazil and it will continue to present we. the population is turning against him and. it's very difficult to predict what is next but it's certainly not very good the u.n. is looking into the killing of more than 20 people in venezuela's capital in january that sense of happened during a security operation by a unit that's been accused of abuse in the past so i suppose reports. of this are images of venezuela security forces in the neighborhood of levying in get access. they're part of a unit known as feisty a special action force created in 2016 to fight against crime in the south american nation. human rights groups say during an operation here in january at least 23 people were killed most of them were young and poor men. father i failed in fund

this is most of the killings where extrajudicial executions. in up most of those killed had no links to gangs or the police that are the ones who are confronting each other the victims were not hit by stray bullets so far nobody has come here to investigate what happened. father in front they says protests had been on the rise in the year we have prior to the raid due to lack of basic services the name of. what we have problems with gas water and food and people take to the streets curiously after those protests there was this huge right that paralyzed people it was an occupation. the united nations and human rights organizations claim the fires have turned into death squads that have killed thousands of people in the country over the past 2 years. they say there is a pattern among those killed. most of the victims are young and

poor if you live in a poor area and you have been to jail it is a death sentence when the police have a profile in a computer and the person has a record in 95 percent of the cases that person is killed. so far this year human rights groups say over $200.00 people have been killed by security forces your feeling is venezuela's former prosecutor and resort they are told al-jazeera my daughter will be investigated at the international criminal court for the deaths of at least 8000 people at the hands of the country's security forces. the investigation includes abuses during the protests against the government but also the ones that happened during raids in poor areas that were not of that and then for them in the us one of the great confrontations i had with the government of nicolas maduro is because of human rights abuses several massacres at the hands of security forces i went to the international criminal court to denounce the killing of $8000.00 venezuelans during

a period of 3 years. and only needs your feeling that the us feel we are waiting for the beginning of the investigation against maduro and generals for human rights abuses there is no control in venezuela and there are no investigations into abuses . abuses which the relatives of those killed have been denouncing for years with the hope their demands for justice will finally be heard. that is how will. france insists that it only killed armed faces in an airstrike in mali after un investigators concluded that 19 civilians died a u.n. team says that only 3 armed men were killed during the strike on the village of booty in january it says that it came to its conclusion after analyzing satellite images visiting the size of interviewing moving 400 people francis the evidence is weak the reports from paris. the statement by the french defense ministry

effectively dismisses the findings in this u.n. report the french defense ministry says that it stands by its version of events it also questioned some of the methods that were used by u.n. investigators in mali this report done by the u.n. mission in the country now the french defense ministry men tains the what happened in its point of view and generally the 3rd is that it carried out an airstrike in central mali targeting armed fighters on the ground the french defense ministry statement says that these armed fighters had been detected less than an hour before 3 bombs were dropped more than a dozen people were killed what the u.n. report says is in fact 19 civilians were killed they had been attending a wedding party and this was the sort of story that emerged after this airstrike

local n.g.o.s on the ground in mali had said that eyewitnesses had talked about the fact that there had been a wedding gathering in this village people talked about planes flying overhead now the french defense ministry virulently denies this they say that these were armed fighters u.n. reporters saying that they were civilians however they do say that at this wedding party 3 armed fighters were also killed 3 men who were linked to an al qaeda group nevertheless this is embarrassing for the french defense ministry because the u.n. of course is a sort of international multinational organization that it would support and respect so it is unusual for the french defense ministry to take this sort of a stand against an organization like minister but nevertheless standing by its version of events it will not help however you'd imagine the growing anti french sentiment already in the saddle region for congolese rebel leader we'll see. the 30
