but when most people. there is no channel that covers world news like we do we revisit places in the state and really invests in them and that's a privilege as a journalist. this is al-jazeera. 800 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera come all sons of maria this is the news that day 4 of the trial the killing of george floyd his former girlfriend takes the stand describing how both of them suffered with opioid addiction. also in the news 2 months since the military coup in me and maher and deposed civilian leader. for the most serious

criminal charge yet the protesters there remain defiant across the country. and there are more promising signs up for the fines a biotech vaccine research shows it is highly protective against the south african variant of corona virus. so as we said day 4 of the trial of derek chauvin the police officer charged with murdering george floyd in the u.s. city of minneapolis currently in a recess we'll take you there live again in about half an hour's time we expect right now that we're going to recap some of what we have heard today 1st of all it was george floyd's girlfriend courtney ross who spoke about how a prescription for painkillers lead to addiction 1st though the most recent witness a paramedic testified that floyd was unresponsive when he arrived at the scene. he

described for its condition you. discussed with your partner at that point the next step. yet you walked back towards me and. asked. if he heard it rest and he said i think so. so he's aware cardiac arrest what does that. mean it's a term we're going to use for anybody that's not responsive not breathing. and doesn't have a pulse currently. so essentially does that mean that someone's heart stopped you know. so you're paramedic they're describing fluid as on responsive when he's being loaded onto a good me you're trying to keep his head from slamming into the pavement why. because he he was. because live with you both her she wasn't.

you understand 7 wasn't holding it up or anything like that. and then as we mentioned to george floyd's girlfriend courtney ross she took the stand his partner of 3 years describing how both she and floyd became addicted to prescription painkillers. both when they are. our story it's it's a classic story of. how many people get addicted to opioids we both suffer from chronic pain. mine was in my neck and his but in his back. we both had prescriptions. but. after prescriptions. for philip and. we really believe we got addicted and and tried really hard to.

break that addiction many times. she also went into some detail of how george floyd suffered from a drug overdose in march 2 months before his death i went to go pick right up from his house that night. i thought i was taking him no more. he wasn't feeling that his stomach really hurt he was doubled over in pain. i just wasn't feeling well and he said he had to go to the hospital so i took him straight to the hospital. we went to the e.r. and. they were checking him out in the e.r. and it was getting late and i had to get home to my son so i left that friday night. you later learned that that was. due to an overdose again.

a little after 1 pm in minneapolis gabriel elizondo is our correspondent says they are gabriel let's start with courtney ross then that tricky moment where the prosecution introduces a witness one which can potentially help the defense's account of things but it's a case of getting out of the story of drugs and getting out early. yeah that's absolutely right i mean it's no secret that the defense is going to say that it was . drugs in their opinion in george floyd's system that led to his death and it was not derrick show fans need the defense has said that in their opening statements that is probably the key part of the entire defense argument and so the prosecution is saying we're not going to sit here and pretend this didn't happen we're not going to wait until the defense decides to bring this up we're going to

address it straight away and that is what they were essentially trying to do here but the defense on cross-examination now also the defense attorney for derek show off and then started to ask even more questions about the drugs it's a key part of this trial so much so that ben crump the family lawyer the lawyer for the floyd family actually put out a statement wow the testimony was going on just in the last hour and i'll read you just very brief part of it he says in this statement we fully expected the defense to put george's character and struggles with addiction on trial because that is the go to tactic when the facts are not on your side we are confident the jury will see past that and arrive at the truth just part of the statement clearly the prosecution and the family's lawyer batting down this idea that drugs were the main player of floyd's death yet so central question was that the drugs the was the need by the time we got to the 2nd witness the paramedic we are looking at again this

body cam. video which clearly shows the navy and then takes us actually insides the ambulance. here really dramatic footage there and the prosecution has so much video to their disposal and they're using all of it to show to the. q. sion to the jury i'm sorry and what they're trying to do here is add context not only to the more than 9 minutes that we all have seen now but what happened right before what happened right after and this is key because as you saw in those clips you played there they asked the e.m.t. that arrived on scene basically essentially what was george floyd's condition and as you could tell from his own words from the e.m.t. it was not good he was essentially already in a state that was. where he was unresponsive this is key because this will show

that to the jury that when they arrived george floyd essentially had pretty much already passed at least that's what we're getting from the testimony gabriel is on there reporting from outside the court in minneapolis today thank you gabriel bank with us on al-jazeera this is they ronald son of an a professor of law and the director of the criminal justice institute at the harvard law school he's on skype from newton massachusetts nice to see you again mr sullivan to be with you who won the drugs argument today because this was the key wasn't it this was all about as i said to gabriel the prosecution getting out in front of this knowing that they were going to have to deal with it trying to deal with it and then having to deal with the cross from the defense. yeah absolutely so we called him the field pulling the sting so the prosecutor attempted to pull this thing with respect information that he knew was going to come in in terms of who

won the day the defense got a lot of points today by putting george threw it on trial and his drug use on trial so all trials are a battle of narratives who tells the best story who tells a story that best resonates with the jury and the defense actually scored some points today with information about george floyd's drug use now the prosecution has to come back and say ladies and gentlemen this case is not about drug use this case is about a need to a man's neck that constricted his breathing so much that he died that's what you need to focus on so it's going to be a battle of the narratives i think is drug use is a very powerful argument given the issue of appeal at addiction in the united states in the number of overdoses and addictions which come from they say it's something which people can latch onto. indeed now you never know which

way that will cut so many families across the united states have people who have suffered from addiction so the prosecution has to be very careful here that they're not blaming the victim right in the suit so that's going to be essential the prosecution also is going to have to argue that look you've heard all of this information about drug use but what happened after each of the times that george floyd took drugs he kept on going to keep living he kept walking what's different about this time officer show with me in his neck that's why i died and that's the argument that the prosecution has to make but the defense is doing a great job today these are bare facts in every trial you have good backs and you have bad facts and you have to deal with your bare back so this is a day that the prosecution was not looking forward to but it's a day that they have to deal with here and they probably were quite happy to move on to the next witness because that could this is the paramedic of course which

could let them focus on the may on the neck as you said the thing which struck me and i've talked about it previously is that you're watching this body cam video and you see the paramedics arriving and there is almost this complete lack of urgency and the paramedic always says he does say to derek chauvin can you move off his neck place and that's after 8 minutes and 46 seconds that's powerful stuff. it is perhaps a loot leap powerful one of the worst facts i talked about good facts and bad facts earlier one of the bad facts for the defense is that george i'm sorry is that derek show been seemed indifferent he seemed casual and indifferent and that's a bad fact at the very at the very minimum once a suspect is in custody the duties of a police officer changes that may change radically once someone is secure and in

custody then it's the duty of the police to care for that individual and what you saw is it just looks like complete and utter indifference and indeed one of the charges one of the charges in this case one of the homicide charges has to do with whether an individual is or where over risk and ignores that risk and behaves in the same way not withstanding that risk so that's a tough one for the defense and it played into the issue which again the prosecution will push the idea of delay at times you heard the prosecutor asking such simplistic questions along the lines of well what happens if you don't administer medical assistance quickly enough when someone is unconscious so when someone is in cardiac arrest now it's simple answers but it all points to the idea that george floyd was delayed in receiving potentially life saving medical assistance. that's

a critical point that you raise and the prosecution has to continue to focus on these sorts of issues again it's a battle of the narratives and the prosecution has to say something like look no matter what happened before no matter what happened yesterday no matter what happened last march when george floyd took drugs at some point in this interaction the police went too far at some point was of the 4 minute mark the 5 minute mark the 6 minute mark at some point george freud pose no threat to anyone and he was clearly laboring they could have done something and they should have done something so if i were the prosecutor that's the story i would be telling right so the drugs the drugs or the drugs deal with it yes there are a lot of people addicted but the point here ladies and gentlemen is that they only want him a duty of care and they breached that duty of care by letting him lie there motionless

minute after minute after minute and if depending on who's doing the closing of the person has a flair for the dramatic i mean milling around on one knee and just waiting in silence so the jury could feel how long 9 minutes really is so it's going to be an interesting case as it continues to unfold. some of it i do enjoy talking to you it's really interesting and it gives our viewers some great context thank you. thank you so much. 14 minutes pass this news hour we'll return to minneapolis later but there is some other news as well several pro-democracy activists in hong kong have been convicted for their role in the 29000 mass protests. around the different places where in a u.s. city where black people are in the majority but are still struggling to get their

covert 19 vaccination it's. some other news now the u.k. prime minister boris johnson is acknowledging more needs to be done to tackle discrimination despite a recent report denying system systemic racism this was commissioned by the government at the height of the global black lives matter movement last year a report which blames family social class and location for existing inequalities campaign has called the findings a whitewash but prime minister johnson says the report doesn't necessarily reflect government thinking. this is a. a very interesting piece of work you know i didn't say the government going to agree with absolutely everything in it but it has some some original ins and stimulating work in it that i think people need to read into and to consider there

are very serious issues that our society faces. to do with racism that we need to address we've got to we've got to do to fix it we need to understand the severity of the problem and we look at all the ideas that they put forward and will be will be making a response. to me in ma where the deposed civilian they downsizing searching is facing the most serious charge yet of violating a colonial era official secrets act it's a new charge against her and 4 others and carries a penalty of up to 14 years in prison also the military is shutting down while the services off the early accosting mobile internet completely of course protesters and activists have been sharing their images of defiance online as they call for democracy the support from scott. with tears of blood painted on their faces protesters in yangon mourn those killed for demonstrating against the coup

this is they mark 2 months since the military power grab that plunged myanmar into crisis and. we are very sad for our fallen heroes and protesters who are still fighting the military but we will never give up the legal team of the pows leader on song suchi thursday announced that she has been charged with violating the country's colonial era officials secrets act she's been detained since february 1st and has also been charged on 2 other accounts and has been accused of bribery. it's a crisis that's now spilling outside its borders for the 1st time in more than 20 years myanmar military fighter jets attacked korean ethnic army held areas near the thai border those attacks during the past few days sent thousands of civilians across the border into thailand seeking safety and medical attention it also prompted the strongest reaction yet from the thai government on the coup next door kind of square very troubled by the reports of more casualties among them in my

people. during this past weekend. we regret i'll call for the exercise of utmost restraint. the escalation of situation and to violence and for the release of detainees some of the ethnic army groups have denounced the coup throwing support behind the protesters and have even called for an increase in attacks on myanmar as military most have spent years fighting for greater autonomy the u.n. envoy on myanmar has warned of a civil war if the situation does not improve some feel that not only is there already a civil war in myanmar but on 2 fronts the streets and the ethnic territories what we're at now is a situation of 2 civil war. one which is too much so and it's what the military. started when they they stay stick to it so it's a civil war with the anti-sex and then this 2nd civil war which has been going up to 7 decades which is against all of these it talked about i ses. as protesters in

yangon burned copies of the 2008 constitution that gave deep powers to the military a parallel government has been set up by deposed members of parliament mostly from . former governing party they have called for a federal democracy that would include the ethnic armed groups. it's got harder al-jazeera. campaigners are also warning the intensifying crackdown is forcing some to join rebel groups the national union which represents main miles ethnic karen minority along the border with thailand wants self-determination for its people it has a military wing as well which is force against meanwhile the military for nearly 70 years that it was a cease fire signed in 2012 the thing is as hostilities of reignited after the coup the qur'an national union is having to prepare its fight its last week military jets launched airstrikes on its territory for the 1st time in 20 years and the group has been supporting protestors by sending its fighters to protect them

attacking military positions and cutting off supply routes. wolf spoke to us earlier a regional director with the human rights organization for to fire rights he says this decision to turn to the ethnic groups for training is born out of frustration . this is a culmination of 2 months of brutal crackdown by the burmese military in me a mom in a tree against civilians so it's not necessarily an unexpected development but it is concerning and i think the impacts are great in the sense not just in terms of whether the civil disobedience movement of protesters may start seeking to turn to more extreme methods to resist the coup but also what we're seeing there is this sort of extension of the fighting out into the ethnic areas and you've seen that the sort of de facto or parallel government under the name of. before this constitution and it's really trying to seek to bring in the ethnic groups that have long had these among standing tensions some cease fire agreements and they will

lapse actually over the last few weeks this concern that as has been raised already that this may escalate and they will see increased fighting and that's going in in the ethnic areas but that's also going to have a severe impact on the safety and security of the of the wider population if this is an escalation from the military side the concern i think for the military will be that they could see themselves opened up on many different fronts and that really is not just a concern as you say for the military but also for the entire population that's had before so there are a very deep concerns i think the military may not have predicted such a unified potentially unified response against the top model and this coup. a court in hong kong has found 7 pro-democracy activists guilty of unauthorized assembly in 2019 as of course when the anti-government protesters marched against the now repealed extradition bill veteran leaders of the opposition movement face up to 5 years in prison but they also remain defiant from hong kong sarah clarke has more.

they arrived at court flanked by their supporters defiant in the face of a crackdown on the movement they represented for decades these are some of hong kong's most high profile veteran activists including 82 year old martin lee who is known as the father of democracy in the territory for many of my brothers and sisters so maybe britain. consider a picture on. please one of 9 people who were found guilty of organizing and participating in an unauthorized assembly in august 29th in join the anti-government demonstrations the rally was given police approval but this group was accused of aiding protesters out of the designated area into central hong kong veteran activist late chuck young says peaceful protests are not a crime and they used charges a beijing's attempt to silence its critics i think it's. inevitable that

we in such a political environment of oppression are retaliation that we have to go to jail to . you know pay the price media tycoon jimmy lie as well as barrister and former councilor margaret well also convicted and face up to 5 years in prison this group of probe aging supporters rallying outside the court wants a tough a penalty they are trading this treason so today we're witnessing the trade out to the sentence life sentence this is a major blow to democracy movement really every major voice of dissent in hong kong is already in exile on trial already behind bars. the $2400.00 people have been charged as part of this crackdown and police have told us more of us even so the pro-democracy activists say they won't give up the game if not all right we will continue to fight for freedom what is he really from learning how far we want to do

it never going to go and not out anyway but we will. at least 3 in this group will be back in court on trial for other charges the court is expected to hand it sentence on this case later this month sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. and here from victor gao a director at the china national association of international studies who says the convictions are to be expected because the legal gatherings result in prosecution in all countries there have been tremendous amount of chaos and anarchy and violations of the rule of law yes indeed there were many protests and demonstrations but i would say many of these protests and demonstrations were illegal by hong kong standards how can i as a democracy protect people's right to demonstrate and to contest where you need to do that according to the law therefore if someone is involved in illegal and

unlawful protests and demonstrations or even further committed offenses like i'm neki assem want to attack of other people for example or setting fire or even for example attacking and assaulting a let's hope your big occupying the. other government facilities that definitely this person or those persons will be filed guilty or not will for the law and will be subject to prosecution this is perfectly understandable this is not surprising. now u.s. president joe biden has old at the pentagon to remove some military elements and forces in the gulf this is according to a report in the wall street journal the u.s. has reportedly removed at least 3 patriot anti-missile batteries including one from a base in saudi arabia this at the same time as of course riyadh continues to face attacks from across the border in yemen american officials say an aircraft carrier

and surveillance systems are being diverted to answer military needs elsewhere around the world it's we're going to talk to mark jacobson about this former advisor to the u.s. secretary of defense currently the assistant dean in the washington programs at syracuse university's maxwell school of citizenship and public affairs i think that's the longest title i've ever read on and nice to have you with this. simple question 1st of all why why would why why this and why now i actually think that this is a fairly routine matter even though it's understandable that the saudis may see this or interpret this as being some sort of signal by the administration and frankly the u.s. central command the middle east i think of a very steady vision of what they would 'd light in saudi arabia there's no imminent threat from iran right now it's pretty natural to want to rotate or move troops out when there's not an imminent threat and frankly i give more weight to

concern the u.s. may have over the lack of air defense of course we you know we saw these issues with the iranian shooting in medium range missiles in recent years i think that might be more of a driver of the lack of u.s. short range air defense capability in that need to have those patriot batteries out that's the same that long that we had you know b. 52 bombers doing sort of show of force fly bys almost over the gulf now i'm trying to remember if that was the end of the trumpet ministration possibly just before joe biden came in but it is still the same but it seems a bit of a change. well again if you reduce your force structure in the face of. less tensions in that region it allows you to ramp back up again rather than on a day to day basis flying b. 52 is over to send some signal then what are you going to do if you need to ratchet up and and i think if you take a look at what's going on in the broader region again you now have

a renewed russian threat to ukraine might be perfectly natural that the u.s. makes make sure that it could have a naval presence increased naval presence in the mediterranean versus one in the gulf right now so i also think that it's in some ways it's a reminder to the saudis this may not be intentional but i think it's a reminder to the saudis that they are not the indispensable ally in the middle east that they their treatment and are working with them is predicated on u.s. national security interests and of course you know the by the administration has been very clear about its unhappiness with the saudi regime ok jacobson i'm not gonna repeat your entire title but former advisor to us secretary of defense thank you for joining us my pleasure. still ahead on this news our way back to minneapolis of course proceedings due to restart very shortly in a terrible showdowns murder trial we're back in just a moment. it's

touch danger free to play most people will never know what it's like to work with every breath is precious the given to someone in the but we're not the most. when freedom of the press is under threat demonstrators and journalists are dealing with internet outages police intimidation and charges of said dish or shift the focus covering the way the news this coverage the listening posts on a. on

the news on here at al-jazeera our top stories this hour the trial of derek show police officer charged with murdering george floyd is in its 4th day and is due to resume shortly we've had a paramedic testifying that for days on responsive when he arrived and we've also heard from floyd's girlfriend who spoke about how prescription for painkillers led to addiction. they must depart is. facing a new charge of violating a clonal hero secrets act carrying a penalty of up to 14 years in prison and saying so if he's been detained since in early february. we are back. with county court in minneapolis as another witness is sworn in on day 4 of the shogun murder trial live continuing coverage.

as the prosecution continues to call its witnesses and if you could start by saying stating your full name. each of your lives refused to. spell each of your names for me on any. person in d e r e k. o c m a snail tradition. knowing. you. was all that. could actually invest your sense. what do you do for work sir. can you hear me i'm sorry what you have currently in her motor with your mouse and how long have you worked and you can ask. one of 4 years in summary. how you were. going to the capacity as a paramedic before that. they were going on in georgia for protocol you're

a trainee promoter of actual for 40 renewal i also worked. as a bit on call for a photo for the civilian or i'm having all the trouble hearing you did you say vs beyond speech the boys use 1st responders of ok so maybe could you describe a little bit what what basically it support training about. you know you do of will to the nose for some before going through your paramedic training had you initially received some e.m.t. or basic type of life support type training group. all right so. in terms of your job as a paramedic where i had many a mass what do you do on a day to day basis. hours by the various calls for emergency medical services in various environments and are those wide ranging

and can you give some examples of the types of calls that you respond to. examples of calls or respond to. car accidents. intoxicated people's. overdose of. seizures or to stubbed toes. so it can be a variety of things that's very corrupt. and does that include cardiac arrest. yes and. when you respond to a cardiac arrest what does that mean. when i respond the what's a cardiac arrest occurred. an individual that is. in loose terms of producing a groove. so when you as in the paramedic use terms like

cardiac arrest or fall arrest is that a you mean the terms. so i'm going to direct your attention to may 25th of last year. where you want to use a paramedic with him and yes that day. did you respond we'll call that evening. yes and. look at both so we've got the quote was a very other. charge or not a problem we have put just for you so. thank you your honor and if you can hear me in please let me know i can't hear you all that you know ignace. so getting back to may 28th of what what was the initial the initial type of call that you understood you are responding to we were told to go to a murder. 2 involved. and then at some point on the

route to that scene was that cop targeted. and what was the information you had at that time in terms of. was going through. and what his country. has to do with the rigor with which both. at that point in time is that all the information you had in terms of 1st think 02 and then code 3 not any have any additional information on why it was elevated to the code 3 at the time and had no additional information other than code 3 so where did you ultimately respond to that back on 370 area for you in chicago. what did you observe what did you see when you arrived on scene. or to learn. from. an individual and 3 officers on the individual.

there's. lots of there was multiple people. there were older tones you didn't feel. welcoming environment. so when you arrived and you said that you saw 3 officers on top of an individual that individual that they were on top of was later identified. and was that individual identified to be george floyd yes so when you come up and you see this scene. this is on top of george floyd and you sent other individuals. with cell phones out what did you do when you were asked. what are the only one i rode on. all corners are all those. and it is huge it was on

a walk up to the individual. notice he wasn't moving in c.h.s. rise or fall. on the side of the do all. he was in here because of the time. when opened so that when you approached he said he was in handcuffs as it approached him to inspect further where the officer still on top of him the officer who saw him on approach what do you do when you approached. i was assessing the scene running through what. care i mean you and did you take some initial steps like checking for a check for a boss and. did you also check the individual mr floyd a few balls or did and what did you determine at that point they were a large. city target that is he was very large and dilated what about

a pulse. do not help it a pulse. when you think of it is that you didn't feel or the type of not detectable and what his condition appeared to be. overall in legal terms it was joe 2. what did you do you know it's. going to get more for her told him i think you know one of those. and i will begin to care about. she said he would begin care in the back room and. is the rate where your equipment is to deal with something like a cardiac arrest just means. i'm going to show you something that has not been admitted that has been marked as exhibit 56 someone just fell on your screen. and you see that

on your screen. there with your. p.c. announce you repossess that. you know ok we're going. to get the gist of it you know what you thought it was. all right so you recognize that this image as yourself check in from mr foy it's. a fair and accurate picture of that your honor i went off her exhibit $0.50 and if there are $56.00 was received and i asked them publish it. all right and i think you just described this is you checking for us is that right through what's a carotid pulse what does that mean. if. it's. just for that. there should be one flew over the bridge. at the time you're talking

or there's a lot of i'm sorry say that again or i wonder why it was a brief. so i just circle back to that you're checking for her out of paul what was your response to that it would be one that you would find if you were. reasonably. well i apologise not somebody. what do you why did you check the carotid pulse and what would you expect. delivery person there should be a palsy or i did not feel what i suspected you should be doing ok to the router. and at the moment that you're checking for this current pulse are the officer still there and on top of mr like. he was all right. and is a talented if he said this and i'm going to put on training an exhibit that has already been admitted as exhibit 248 we can put that up for you.

and then it says this show a different angle. your initial but what is the shocker. you see yourself in this picture. and what are you doing about. the. top of the screen there in the world you know for and you can use that the status of real styles which is yourself it's a touch screen so you just so out where you are to me. and what are you doing in this picture if you can grab a flush. on the sourcing what's wrong here. and then in terms of using your flashlight is that something you use to assess what checking people's your sins are . so while you were at the head of mystifying did you check both as pulse and his pupils yes all right. well you think that.

so at that point. when our next thanks. for your goals and your goals yes look for. growth in that i believe the individual to be deceased i want to you have seen i would start hearing about. did you take steps to make that happen there were rubbish trigger a ball game was it was there. to move the bridge. and. did you have any interaction with the officers in terms of. moving the patient. your goals and care was something roll the officers roof. hopeful and moving a vision on the campus so did the officers assist you in moving yes. did you have to write some direction to that in terms of moving the patient. so i'm going to

don't want to. be where i'm at that what. what was that what were you trying to accomplish i want to get my patient my route quickly as possible sort of you know my solution efforts he was sitting between church or running the theory from the situation you were you. trying what was what he said as quickly as possible why are you trying to get inside as quickly as possible. from addition particular and it's timing something important when it comes to someone who's in cardiac arrest yes and why is that. is or isn't being. an it should be longer is it being. greeted likelihood this individual will have the resources to do. so do you

ultimately well the patients in the ambulance. yes and did you write about. that and one of the officers on scene camera. we want officer from your post yes and. why was that i need somebody to churches compressions and what are you arrived on scene. had there been any did you observe anyone rendering any medical care chest compressions when you arrived on our own soon result medical services provided you ok so when you got on the ambulance did you do some further assessment of mr feist . was it at that point what is your next. we're going to the roof yes. i heard the shot the door he took the. minneapolis police officer with me i started

to call the individual person and secondly that why do you have to do something like that to us was going to get to just do my job and probation. and what do you call that individual does that provide for their access in terms or any i.v.e. or other. options for you yes c. since you are so what are you certain about 20 as you were given year. initial assessment of mr like. you of professional interest would surely soon short of your . reconfirm that he was told. it wasn't breathing to take the handcuffs of radicals getting like you. prefer to pick your nose in the end did you personally take off the handcuffs yes i got him props how do you how are you able to do that as a paramedic. if i have

a grammatical fuse so in the line of your work you're able to use those skills to take and pass on individual yes is that a given you use yes. did you provide an additional direction to a law enforcement officer. who knows. what the nature of that. broke my road all and also directed you to is really and was that when i was just impression upon your direction was about just impressions. firstly and to your knowledge. to my knowledge just groceries began when i had this year with which. when you say initiated that interaction that you gave to the are to start fresh and you. aren't. going to put on the screen and exhibit that has been

admitted as exhibit 57. all right. so just like going back through what you just testified about you just described here. is the version heard treasure of the birth of our bill and that is me. you know promoted uniform checking. for articles as. subsequent to you know after your initial check on the street was written for everybody. and you still do not have a boss. and that's to exhibit $58.00. and what are you doing in exhibit 58. for both repositioning and he's a repositioning. positions. well

just look for the polls in the every position for your way. this reconfirming that i needed to revert to for us and had anything changed in terms of your initial assessment notice so you are not able to detect a false. and if you're to be greeting no means. all right will move things a bit 59. you indicated that you've been given some direction to an awesome start chest compressions you just described. it appears to be the officer showed interest. and has no trace of it since he means. it in terms of. your is noted and what injuries did you have there on the. relatively superficial injuries but i don't believe the time would resolve that

you've heard of gross. i think you mean 2 arrows one to the nose area laugh soldier area. in terms of your treatment of the patient where these you said superficial where that is not your primary concern you know the guard routinely. and then more exhibit $61.00 which has already been admitted on the stand. and again despite respect to the injuries. this image consistent with what you are describing. and you're pointing to you made an error on the nose area how did you what did you observe there. i didn't suspect a low sort of even if you read the new yorker it rose. but it does that arrow of decay. a finding of some kind is there blood or something else there. should be

visual if you're right but that injury not life threatening it's like you're talking. about. you're dealing with a cardiac arrest crew. all right we can take that out please so ultimately. do you and your partner move at the patient's you another location. once it was was loaded i directed my partner to go somewhere more secure stable and ok for. him when he set up the fire is what does that mean. you know we're working for us. so. so i understand when you inform fire that you're working the follow rest what is the message that you're trying to get across is there a need you have. a redress of them going through your sins are going to see you know just reconfirming with my poor that i want to go through. we're going to be going please get there hope we are in the back essentially we're very approachable

so what was your concern working on cardiac arrest alone and needing fire to come code 3 and what is. there's a lot to be done who could have told. you. and does there's a cardiac arrest require only a lot of hands on its back. while here relocating your partner and striking your back are you continuing to the sas patient and do you work on the patient you know what period of time did you observe about condition. maybe much less than anything you got it about rhythm a lot of rhythm when it came to you. once you got the goods on and although she was a. producer george who had to do you know her. and it's not a pretty. good will so when you say once you got the passage through. that

flat line all right you know ok and i'm going to try to finish the question for her from the go. that route well ok. but let me just back up just so that we're there. i think you said he was an ace the silly or flat line was you got the pats on the can you just describe how that works you know once you have pads on a patient what are you able to see on your monitor. so that if your goals are if it shows that collishaw rhythm of ours along with. it also allows us to provide good relation in the event that the rhythm. presented us would be you know was a salute to. the rhythm gurgles. ok so i'll just follow up on that a little bit you said the pads are connected to the whole monitor back right

through and what's this all minor. you can too for brochures people also are sure to read. the record of the 12 lives on is that the way you're able to see what's going on with respect to your patients. on iran or more of us. and he said that about why he was in a sicily which is i'm not shocked of all read on is that right that's true so does that mean then that defender relation or applying a shock would not be something you do at that point for proof of protocols you don't show up and says ok why is that. is that what you do. these is there to keep want to change the rhythms and i understand it's not the reverse it's other interventions to get to a better room. so in terms of what it means right when he said flat line or a facility i mean. what does that mean in terms of patient status

really ok and. what were you doing in terms of trying to. provide whatever care you could hurt by knowing that he was in a society where the next steps you thought. i was working in korea for us and then you could walk through that so when you were a cardiac arrest what do you. if you chose to crush it was trying to you. or. lucas together with the perils of the job as you're going. through it with really certain props unknowns. and access points at some point in your after going to the park to another location did your partner come back and assist those things yes. and. also

mentally did. he set up. the things that he needed to set up for your protocols in terms of you know i ve and airway and those and things by the time we've got them back right i had to go to everything all but i was in the process of talking yourselves to the so while you were in the room you were getting you were working on the dance. and were you working continuously also when your partner came back after you were yes we were going to work. ultimately did. minneapolis fire. meet you at a location as you had requests. up to us and then. what happened at that point. do you have to leave for took over

britain you know that you were sort of oxygen. it was over monitor or dilute. the idea of. a studio or groups because we had to. sort of use our sort of bird curbs like some soon very very very good as much as you can this one is out there you just. told us a lot of information so he said handing out drugs i mean is there a specific are there particular drugs you get when you're dealing with a cardiac arrest and it does include. epinephrine and sodium bicarbonate. yes and. are there her to kill or do you have particular concerns or particularly. courses of action when somebody may have been pulse less or in a relatively scented period of time yes and maybe did you follow those protocols in

this case yes. so after the firefighters get on the ambulance and the officer leaves at some point . do you proceed on so you can kind of medical center. at some point would have them gone. and what was the determining factor and matter what but what had to happen before you were able to move. any earlier in my view or to a relatively stable position where you could never scored a hooker us we have the firefighters now we have here we secure we heard. there is shrubs on boards we have lucas on the transformations that on my monitor i was able to just. conduct more or less the scurry of the roast or providing the treatment. and while you are on route that you can continue are you actively working on him

the whole time you are with us and while you were travelling on route to the hospital did you. at some point deliver shock or mr shock it was can you just describe why why you did that and how that came out. oh for sure you know motoring. you know believed to still run of course and speed and that is a different order of the program protocol which indicates that if you really should . ok so at some point while you when was it that you detected a pulse electrical activity in rolled over the last few minutes and. i think that's why the bat is the shock of all read them or your protocols yes also 3 doctors are trying to remember ok now you. what made you notice the change there in terms.
