concerned by any attempt on the part of the russian federation to intimidate its neighbors and our partners of course ukraine. is among them. well here's a short timeline of events leading up to this point for ukraine in february 2040 the so-called maidan revolutions or the russian friendly president viktor yushchenko which deposed the opposition winning power next month russian forces and its crimea from ukraine prompting a series of western sanctions and in april 2041 pro russian separatists seized parts of the eastern gone bust starting the internal military conflict in the ukraine in 2019 t.v. comedians' lot of is the lenski is elected ukraine's president he had russian president putin agreed to exchange prisoners and commit to a ceasefire most recently a ceasefire with toilet separatists was agreed to in july but that's close to breaking as ukraine acknowledges that escalation in fighting is there or peter

could have ended their actions once he stopped resisting day for the trial of a fuller police officer accused of floyd was highly emotional floyd's girlfriend spoke about the couple's struggle to break free from opioid addiction. reports not from minneapolis and we do want some viewers you may find some of the images in his report disturbing this image of george floyd adopted by the black lives matter movement after his death is recognized all over the world as a symbol of police brutality and it is based on a selfie kind of business. that's according to georgia girlfriend courtney ross who was the 1st to testify on day 4 of the derek show vun murder trial. in her often emotional testimony she described how the pair met in 2017 when floyd was working as

a security guard upon questioning she also described how they fell into addiction it's. classic story of. a chronic pain. mine was in my neck and back. it was an apparent attempt by the prosecution to get ahead of a central plank of chauvinist defense team's argument that it was the drugs that killed george floyd and not the officers more than a 9 minute show called. defense attorney eric nelson questioned ross about a drug overdose floyd had in march as a court session was ongoing ben crump the floyd family attorney released a statement saying in part 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 that the jury will see past that to arrive at the truth the jury later heard from paramedics part of the team who arrived at the scene to treat floyd they testified when they arrived show up and still had his knee on floyd's neck and that floyd was unconscious in a living person there should be a poster i do not feel on i suspected the patient at the moment that you're checking for this crime and haas and the os are still in this and on top of mr black. yes the trial is moving into a new phase instead of heart wrenching testimony from eyewitnesses like what we've heard most of the week the trial is now shifting into fundamental questions like how george floyd died exactly when and who or what is to blame.

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera is news hour with me the whole robin a reminder of our top stories a train in taiwan has derailed killing 54 people president signed when has ordered an investigation into what happened it's time was worst train disaster in decades demonstrators in me a bar out on the streets once again a day after the military shut down wireless internet services across the country they played a public flogging flowers in public places to remember those killed during the lockdown. has it all derated mohamed barzun as the new president heads the country's 1st democratic and peaceful transfer of power basu says his priority will

be tackling what he calls terrorist groups that have killed hundreds in border regions. police the democratic republic of congo have broken up a protest in the eastern city of goma as anger over attacks by rebel groups that have killed at least 200 people in recent weeks the u.n. says around 100 different rebel groups operating in eastern d r c as charles stratford reports. they hold up photographs of some of the dead victims of the latest mass killing in eastern democratic republic of congo. activists with a group called fight for change are demanding the government and un do more to stop the bloodshed at least 123 people reported killed in numerous attacks during the last 3 weeks. we denounce the ineffectiveness of the un force minister which has an offensive mission but which for years has failed to do

anything. we want to mobilize the national and international opinion in the face of this tragedy. a rebel group called the allied democratic forces or i.d.f. this expected of carrying out the latest attack 23 people shot and many hacked with machetes in a village in the remote forests of the benny region in the northeast of the country . the problem is. the i.d.f. originated in neighboring uganda in the 1990 s. with the aim of setting up a so-called islamic state it is one of more than a 100 rebel groups fighting for control of territory in the resource rich region. the un says a recent surge in attacks by the i.d.f. has killed nearly 200 people and forced 40000 others to flee their homes it says the attacks could constitute crimes against humanity. something very very much. we must no longer continue to count deaths we do not know if we are

really in a country where there is a government because a responsible government must not allow people to keep being killed on it if the government feels incapable i believe the government should go and cooperate with other states to help us. one of the un's mission in eastern democratic republic of congo was set up in 2010 and includes thousands of military personnel and police a mission statement says must go is authorized to use all necessary means to protect civilians aid and human rights workers under threat of violence. anger over the killings is rising across the region there was scuffles when a u.n. aid truck arrived in the town of pretend. police dispersed the crowd by firing into the yeah. and police

broke up the demonstration in goma some protesters would beaten and bundled into a van that's the latest mass killing suggest u.n. forces are not able to stop the violence in eastern democratic republic of congo and the protesters say police action against them shows the government won't even listen to their demands that the killings must stop chance trafford al-jazeera. dutch prime minister mark could return has now only survived a vote of no confidence which would have forced him to resign however most of disapproval power has been passed accusing ritter of not telling the truth about coalition talks he said a position for a vocal opponent hadn't been discussed but documents later emerged contradicting his statement from our quarter is a conservative who's been in charge for more than a decade he's often called teflon mark his ability to avoid scandals in january he announced his resignation over child benefit fraud scandals which wrongfully

drove thousands of families to financial ruin but his cabinet remained in a caretaker role to manage the coronavirus crisis until the elections well last month wrote a claimed an overwhelming victory in elections and vowed to use his 4th term in office to rebuild the country after the pandemic let's get more on this we're joined by the goddess logic in the hague he's an assistant professor in the university good to have you with us on the program sir how much trouble is mark ritter the man in with not only his own party with it but also with his potential coalition partners. yes what i would say quite a lot of trouble in quite a short amount of time if you consider that only. one of the recent elections and is by far of the leader of the far largest party and setsu basically become the longest serving prime and certain loss in the history of another lance and all of that seems to now be on the verge of unraveling and given this recent scandal or

softening in that sense it's really a reminder of how quickly the fortunes going to change in politics and how someone who seems like one of the us most popular more stable leaders and you're also you know almost seems to become everyone's favorite target in the politics wipe out so before we go into the politics of such crime just get your opinion of public opinion a public opinion at the moment in the netherlands as a person if he is he a popular individual considering he did so well in the elections the general public have had time to digest digest this man you might say for nearly a decade as you say noise definitely popular say that and you actually result has borne that out and us and that's also where this attack from mark nickname constant use is popular despite a number of high profile scandals involving his parties and i profile one roasts of his party and yet it's also become really the figurehead of the neverland's a fight against all the cruel and that mix and that sense of that's also when you

look to a. reasonable lead on does i think also he likes to present himself ok well it will certainly you know what he wants to be a popular leader and a reasonable one but he's got a bit of a fight on his hands because of the zikr it card is the leader of the d 66 party they did very well in the elections got more seats than most people had imagined they would win they still be a decent or potential coalition partner with a router or is it is his position it down because they're not very happy with him. yeah i think it increasingly becomes interesting to make a distinction between him and the person and his party which is still has the most seats and parliaments and just by maybe not by a by mutual affection or on a common cause of the just by default it's hard to imagine any dutch government and majority coalition in the parliament that wouldn't include the mark with his party either end up with a very right wing cabinet or parties that also really don't want to want to work

with john have to carry out such that already but also on the on the left hand side saw you will have to almost work with his party but the question is now really to which extent that he can stay on given this is basically toxic and violence and of course us present what options are left ready for opposition parties because it's better perhaps the devil you know you might say it rutter rather than go back to another general election whilst the global pandemic continues well although i could also think of other creative ways you mention of it is a good car who are at a very good result as are presented herself i think as a potential 1st female prime minister and his 3 of them are lance so they're dead that might still be an option. in any construction of doesn't involve mark with still maybe a bit far fetched but i think in now what has been unthinkable in before the

election and even shortly after the election results of which mark of that emerged as a big leader i think are now scenarios where you can consider ok his party will be part of a new coalition but maybe not himself but then again it's too early to speculate about that in a dozen years and call that a tough one mark for nothing so will see if he if you can answers the one of those prices it will see what happens that in the coming days for the members so you're a slower occur from like new diversity thanks so much for joining us. thank you. germany is going through its 3rd wave of the pandemic more than $21000.00 and factions were reported on friday now the country was supposed to be under a strict lockdown during the easter holiday weekend but the government scrapped it the last minute changes to rules affecting businesses stephanie decker reports from berlin. it's a constant adjustment julian boy says he had to sell

a successful 126 mexican restaurant now focusing mainly on burger deliveries but it's also about keeping up with the current virus restrictions monitored by local authorities known as the arkansas we had to enforce all the rules as well which was tricky because every week the rules changed a few times the order exam came in and they weren't even sure of the rule one time one of one of them was googling right in front of me when i was supposed to be doing and that confusion apparent in a rare public apology from the german chancellor just a day after announcing a strict lockdown during the easter holiday which would have seen even supermarkets closing their doors and americal said she made a mistake would not happen not because it wasn't needed but because it was too last minute and had confused people. germany's vaccination campaign has been sluggish because of delays in the delivery of vaccines but also the decision not to give the astra zeneca shot to people under the age of 60 after reports of blood clots only

10 percent of germans have been vaccinated so far the country is facing a 3rd wave of the virus who germany's top disease control body warning this one is showing signs it could be worse than the ones before. despite the back and forth new measures have now been introduced here in the capital they include things like having to present a negative covert 19 test before entering what the government deems non-essential businesses things like getting a haircut and you going to have to wear a mosque of a certain medical category before entering all shops because it's not mandatory outside. a similar theme emerges when we asked people about the lockdown measures and i might be country and they could be more united i mean once they decided to say we'll do it like this and then a few days later they do something different i find that a bit difficult. because it is going to do is get out of here not consistent either you say there is a lockdown then everyone stays at home like for example in munich whereas in berlin

they say one thing but then a few days later it's completely different they are not consistent if you want something done indeed implemented hard and strict for julian as a business owner who was directly affected by the changing rules he says it's unfair if you as a person living in berlin like lockdowns know locked out nothing seems to be clear right now they change the rules on a weekly basis and it seems that the people who cop it the worst of the small businesses so you do get a lot of normal people complaining about being locked down and home office and all this sort of stuff but there's absolutely no lockdown enforced at all. and with numbers steadily rising again germany's head of this is ca sion for intensive in emergency medicine has warned hospitals could run out of available intensive care beds within a month if stricter lockdown rules are not enforced stephanie decker urges are. bolivia is closing its border with brazil and peru the latest south american
