and no limitations empire is the reason that we live in a multicultural society part of pfizer's say he and adam where the fate. unscripted and. all that. i think. more distressing video of george floyd's fatal arrest proves overwhelming the witnesses at the trial before me us police officer accused of murder. darren jordan this is obviously a live from doha also coming up. the violence the attacks the killings of children there are polling further words of condemnation at the u.n.

where the security council's been warned me in my bloody ante to crack down wrists causing civil war. from this is ordered into its 3rd national lockdown to push back a 3rd wave of covert $9000.00 infections threatening to overwhelm hospitals plus it's disgraceful. everything else leading up to this point has said completely different things how many british people of color are reacting to a government backed report that found their country isn't institutionally racist. a us court has been shown some of the last moments of george floyd's life from the perspective of the police officers who arrested him that along with further video recorded by onlookers and witness testimony dominated day 3 of the trial of derek cho then who's accused of murder it painted a dramatic picture of how floyd's alleged attempt to use a counterfeit bill escalated into his death in may last year. even though he was

the only. place where you know see more nazi stuff on ebay located ok. right where. me i don't know me so i don't know out. in another scene before chervin the old on his neck floyd pleaded more with officers. less than. another character over on one of. our do you argue that look at it. we did better than no one said. no i don't want that we don't want to know we. i don't we're not the program. footage of floyd being pinned on the champions knew he was too much for one witness . on the interview. with him but he never will be challenged mcmillian who was passing by at the time stopped and tried to persuade floyd to

give himself up to the police he broke down in court when asked to relive the day's events saying he felt helpless as on the has more now from minneapolis. this was all part of the prosecution's efforts on wednesday to show the jury more video that added more context to the time that led up to that fateful moment and it was also never before seen footage from inside the convenience store before george floyd voice out lho went outside and it was footage of him in the convenience store at times he was laughing at sometimes he was smiling other times he was acting a little fidgety but this was the moment that he. gave what a cashier testified as he thought it could have been a counterfeit $20.00 bill and that's what ultimately led to the police being called

and then. of course george floyd's death now in terms of how this day went for the prosecution it was certainly very powerful you could tell from people who were in the courtroom that the jurors were very much engaged watching every minute of this and also as the court let out. some of george floyd's lawyers were leaving the courthouse and i asked them how they thought the day went and one of floyd the floyd family lawyers told me it was a good day so debbie hynes a former prosecutor from the city of baltimore she explained what the newly released police video could mean for the trial. you're saying what happens before and what happens what with the police officers trying to get mr floyd into that vehicle he's saying he has some anxiety you're going to send these shoes or he's going to feel big and they're taking him out of the vehicle and there is some slight resistance there and so when officers are allowed to do they are allowed to

use reasonable force when there is any type of resistance i'm going to arrest but once that resistance has stopped then they can no longer use force and so that's really the focus of the case is that 9 minutes and 29 seconds and mr fullaway was one of the ground pin down my dare show been found down by 2 other officers lad proudly yelling that he can't breathe that is really the case. but u.n. security council has been warned that mean mars on the verge of civil war and immediate action is needed u.n. special envoy christine traina burn a brief a security council on the increasingly bloody military crackdown since the general seized power in a coup 2 months ago the army has also launched an strikes against a rebel group raising fears of a return to ethnic conflict well ahead of the meeting the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. said they cannot allow the violence to continue in myanmar which washington refers to as burma what the military is doing in burma to the people look to the people of

burma the violence the attacks the killings of children their appalling and and they are unacceptable so we can't just. step back and allow this to happen we have to keep pushing forward we're doing the meeting china called for a democratic transition and me and ma but ruled out sanctions is a diplomatic editor james baker's. certainly you have some members of the security council russia china vietnam potentially who are not keen on any punitive action against the generals and if the security council doesn't take some further action if it just comes up with another statement it's not clear where that takes us because remember the security council has issued 2 statements. a return to democracy in myanmar urging the release of all the politicians who are being

detained and condemning the violence and despite that the bloodshed has gone on individual countries obviously can pursue their own policies and many have done that certainly western countries have stopped doing business with beyond man to put sanctions on the military and businesses that are linked with the military certainly the u.n. secretary general would like tougher action from the security council that is clear from his special envoy christine shriner bergen who's been speaking to the security council the meeting is behind closed doors but i have obtained a copy of the remarks he's just delivered and she says i remain open to dialogue and continue to signal this but if we only wait for when they're ready to talk the ground situation will only worsen a bloodbath is imminent and the u.n. special envoy who speaks was that general goes on this council must consider potentially significant action that can reverse the course of events in myanmar at least $43.00 children have been killed by armed forces in myanmar since the
