his problems with drug addiction and in the past few minutes lawyers for both sides on the judge have been discussing what video clips can be played that takes place without the jury present we will bring you the trial live once it resumes but for now let's bring in alan fischer he's joining us from minneapolis so it was a compelling week of testimony last week al and it's day 6 what should we expect. well certainly what we had in the final days of last week was pretty devastating for the defense of course to argue that getting children what he did was in line with training methods that was disputed by the man who was at the head of the homicide department in minneapolis for many many years a well respected figure but we're also expected to hear from the police chief of the city he's the man that fired children one day after what happened to george lloyd he said it was a turning point in the history of the city he believed that he acted well outside

the training guidelines and he will be brought 10 to give evidence to see the what getting children did is not in any training manual that of course is one of the defense's main clients look what he did was what he had been trained to do there's also going to be evidence from medical experts as well know one of the defense argument is that what happened to george floyd locksley happened not because of what derek children dead that was a contributing factor but because of the drugs that you was on and of course the prosecution have tried to dismantle that idea by saying through a number of witnesses look if he really was concerned that he was on drugs then his standard of care should have been even higher he should be taken even more precautions with someone like george floyd but of course we saw the video of him in the store walking around talking laughing not appearing to be someone who was under the influence of drugs but remember the defense only have to prove their case

within a reasonable doubt they don't have to prove actually anything it is the prosecution that has that part in the burden of proof so it's going to be a very interesting 2nd week here in minneapolis and as all of this takes place in the courtroom behind what is the sense like out on the streets of minneapolis and what is the mood like in the city. well certainly people are watching what is going to happen here can say and we've certainly heard from lawmakers including the congresswoman from minneapolis just over the weekend saying that for the 1st week with a lot of the video that we saw and a lot of the defense attacks it appeared that george floyd himself was on trial and that is a concern you can see just how concerned the authorities are here but what may happen afterwards you can see the fences around the building you can understand that the security level here it really is just a case of seeing how this pans out over. the coming days certainly in this

city and across america people are watching and watching this very closely to the extent where some psychologists have said it might not be good for a lot of people to watch every single moment of this because as we saw last week through some of the testimony that personalize george floyd and through some of the video that we've never seen before this is a very traumatic case when someone was in a state of distress an officer lent on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds was he justified in doing that to restrain someone he thought was a threat or did he go beyond the guidelines that are in the training manual and is he guilty of at the very least 2nd degree murder and alan i'm just looking at the time here and judging by last week we do expect the jury to come into the courtroom and the next couple of minutes or so in for the trial to commence is that right.

that's right there have been a few legal arguments that have been held of camera that is perfectly normal and you will find that either the prosecution or the defense want to raise an issue they don't want to be had in front of the jury because that could influence the jury even in a small way so those arguments are held in front of the judge this is a question of law that's for the judge to decide that's exactly what is job is so that is why the jury isn't there the jury will then be brought in and of course it is for them to decide on the issues of fact as presented by the prosecution and the defense the prosecution saying that derek children acted beyond his job and was guilty of the charges that he faced the defense trying to create a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury that that was actually the case and hoping to have their client cleared of any convictions ok alan for the time being thank you very much and just a reminder to our viewers we will of course cross back live to the trial as soon as

we see it commence thanks allan the former malaysian prime minister najib razak is in court trying to get his conviction on corruption charges overturned and he was sentenced to 12 years in prison last year and he was also fined $50000000.00 in a case involving state investment fund one m d been now as he was found guilty of a criminal breach of trust abuse of power and money laundering florence the reports from kuala lumpur. former malaysian prime minister nigel braszczok arrives in court for his appeal hearing last july he was found guilty of illegally receiving about $10000000.00 from s.r.c. international which was linked to the state owned investment fund one and d p. the amount in this appeal is small compared to the $1000000000.00 prosecutors say he's received from the funds. he's been convicted on 7 charges and still faces $35.00 more has denied all wrongdoings taking his lawyers will argue that number
