the britain's queen elizabeth dies at the age of 99. we give thanks as a nation and the king of the extraordinary life and work of prince philip you can bet. on the 1st week of talks to revive the iran nuclear deal wrap up with terror ron demanding that the u.s. removes its sanctions. the u.k. organize a virtual meeting of u.n. security council members and others has been held to discuss the situation in myanmar the meeting was intended as a platform for voices from inside the country to brief security council members on their view of developments since febreze coup. bassett's the u.n. spoke a few moments ago he called for urgent action against the military job. since very very 2021 more than 600 civilians have been killed mind the military

if you will move. the military will move people with commit move act and world war 2 are move people. who again. take the strongest possible action without the delay who all means necessary and available we've also heard from the u.k. which organized facing its envoy laid out the extent of the violence seen since the start of february in the 2 months since the tatmadaw or late coup prevented the democratically elected assembly from forming on the 1st of february nearly 600 protesters have been killed and 3000 people detained the military's violence against peaceful protesters is becoming increasingly systematic lethal and

widespread in the ethnic states there is renewed conflict including military as strikes leaving dozens dead and thousands displaced. the u.n. envoy for me on mas arrived in bangkok with hopes of talking to the ruling generals who are refusing to meet up on thursday the u.s. imposed sanctions on myanmar as mainstage turned gem company that's an important source of income for the generals meanwhile there are reports of intense fighting in the country as security forces crack down on protesters there young go on rescue workers say that at least 4 people have been killed in the southern city of. but local media reports say the death toll could be higher rights groups of recorded $614.00 civilian deaths since the military took part in a coup at the start of february the armed forces of also imposed new internet restrictions and they've pushed back a promise to hold an election within

a year. and only got the. state of emergency most of you over within 2 years and the elections must be held within 2 years we must hold elections and transfer power to the winning party in the election. let's bring in our diplomatic it as a james pace's at the u.n. in new york james tell us about about this that this special session but that has been going on and also about what the nan ma bassett of the u.n. had to say a few minutes ago. well the myanmar ambassador to the u.n. remember he was the ambassador before this started before the coup he was the one who gave the impassioned speech in the general assembly shortly after the coup and today in this special session jorma tone said that he wanted a no fly zone he wanted alarms in bargo he wanted targeted sanctions in place and

he said it was the responsibility of the u.n. security council and he ended his speech with the words please please please take action the problem is i don't see any action on the horizon the security council's issued statements 3 different statements which have condemned the violence and of called for the democratically elected politicians to be released but they won't go any further than that because they need agreement among all the security council members they need to if they were to get a resolution to put sanctions to put an arms embargo to put a no fly zone that routes require at least 9 votes in the security council and it also would require there not to be a veto from one of the permanent members i'm not sure they would get 9 votes at the moment for any sort of sanctions and certainly i think if they pushed that they would get the veto of china and russia worth telling you that the meeting we saw today wasn't actually a security council meeting it was a meeting called by the u.k.

on behalf of the u.k. the europeans and the u.s. house of all the meeting all the members of the security council of the u.k. called all the members of the security council to a meeting but it wasn't a security council meeting that's because russia and china opposed in open security council meeting of this sort and they made it quite clear when they spoke that they oppose it so if they won't even agree to an open meeting the idea of agreeing to sanctions i think is deeply unlikely our diplomatic as the james spader's live in new york at the u.n. james thanks. let's return now to our coverage of the derek trial former police officer accused accused of murdering george floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than 9 minutes a quarter of the past few hours has been hearing from dr lindsay thomas a forensic pathologist also an expert on areas where medicine and law overlap the court currently in recess the taking the morning break alan fisher is outside the

courthouse in minneapolis. up to speed with what's been happening so far on this day 10 of the of this trial. important testimony is again the prosecution go through expert witnesses as you see lindsay an expert in forensic medicine she was saying that the reason that george floyd died was the actions of the police she was asked whether or not fentanyl or perhaps. other drugs contributed to the death of george floyd wasn't the case although there were some detected in his bloodstream she laid the blame very firmly at the actions of law enforcement she said she reviewed the video and she could see that he was struggling to breathe there was a difficulty for him even simply to get a breath and that lack of breath in this system led to the failure of his brain and then the failure of his heart i will tediously happen she said you can see the bit

where he talks and then no longer is able to because the breath i'm going to. take you back inside the courtroom here where. the trial is continuing this is lindsey thomas let's listen in to what's happening. so we know what suicide is. and undetermined if the medical examiner can't tell which of these it is or what it is. determine what you would indicate exactly. has been determined to be homicide. does that in your opinion as a medical examiner rule out death by accidental drug overdose.

for the purpose. so dr we're talking about the designation of homicide and and tell us what this guy is as as relates to how we define homicide as medical exam. homicide is defined in its most broad sense as death at the hands of another and it goes into more detail if we want to look at that yet so if but but this is guidance given from the national association of medical examiners to a medical exam exam and it provides guidance in guidelines on how to designate a matter of death as homicide. if we can go to the next one. so dr. the record homicide occurs when death results from of the wish will act committed by another person to cause fear harm or death

intent to cause death is a common element but is not required for classification as homicide morvillo it is to be emphasized that the classification of homicide for the purposes of death certification is a neutral term and neither indicates nor implies criminal intent which remains a determination within the province of legal processes and you agree with absolutely it's a guideline you follow. and have you followed the this kind of a guideline for the years you've been a medical examiner. is there more guidance given from the national association of medical examiner guidelines on what constitutes voluntary. if you could. and so dr thomas beautiful in general different persons death results at the hands

of another who committed a harmful volitional act directed at the victim the. maybe considered homicide from the death investigation standpoint and then although there may not have been an intent to kill the victim the victim died because of the harmful intentional the official act committed by another person thus the manner of death may be classified as homicide because of the intentional or volitional act not because there was an intent to kill and when you agree with the conclusion that dr baker reached of homicide is this the definition of homicide that you're applying that we saw in these 2 slides. thank you doctor. now i want to ask you about a new subject and this has to do with certain studies that assess whether they're

prone restraint is dangerous from a breathing point of view and i'd like to get your perspective as a forensic pathologist and a medical examiner in this respect are you aware of any such studies. do you agree generally with the research that it comes to conclusion that the problem restraint is not dangerous for respiration. in certain laboratory safe settings that may be true but i do not agree with their plight the bill of the to real life situations if you could generally characterize for the jurors what's the punch line of these studies one of these show well they purport to show that putting someone in a prone position even with some restraint and with weight on their back is perfectly safe. and that do you find these values to be reliable of

the fun of controversy well i think they are fine for a laboratory purposes but they bear no resemblance to real world situations so i would say they're irrelevant for purposes of what we're talking about here and so how do they then not relate to the real world what's artificial about well i would say for starters these are volunteers who have agreed to be put in this dangerous position of prone restraint but they know perfectly well at any point if they feel scared or uncomfortable all they have to do is say stop and that has happened in some of these studies that a couple of the volunteers a said wait no i can't tolerate being in this position it's too scary so that to me

immediately takes out that whole element that we are talking about about the terror physiologic stress so that's number one number 2 is there healthy volunteers these are young people who have mostly young people mostly healthy who have agreed to be part of this study so it doesn't relate to someone who may have other underlying factors that may contribute thirdly there's they're put on a like a gymnastics man to be face down so it's completely different when you're squished between a person and the hard ground versus having a evenly distributed weight on your back and you're on a mat. 3rd none of our 4th i guess. and perhaps most. differently here none of them went on and on and on beyond the point

where the person stopped breathing and where their heart stopped so they were being monitored the whole time and if it any point they had had significant respiratory or cardiac difficulties the study would have stopped and the person volunteer ing knew that so it to me it just it bears no resemblance to what mr floyd experienced if any of the studies involve a be on the neck of any of the volunteers you know. any of them go on for as long as ny that it's a 29 seconds. do you know if any of the studies actually measure the decrease in london homes as part of the study that is decreasing oxygen reserves nothing. so he relevance to george floyd of all that in my opinion no.

so dr thomas have you done any calculations of kind of work of your own to measure what the subdual on the restraint with the knee on the neck in the back of george floyd would have done to his oxygen reserves or lung capacity no that would be something completely different to a pulmonary doctor to address so then are you able to tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury if you haven't done that work whether the forces that mr floyd was subjected to would have even killed in normal healthy person. in the way you phrased that that based on lung volume and that kind of study i mean from watching the video i certainly wouldn't want to be in that position but that's a different. thank you dr thompson for the question. this is no. morning

dr tom mining how are you there you know i see. you describe being a forensic pathologist to sort of being the doctor's doctor. ok we're going to we're going to leave the trial again for a while it's getting rather technical there on the witness stand is dr linda thomas a forensic pathologist an expert on the areas where medicine and law overlap we'll keep monitoring the trial will bring you up to speed with any developments a little later in the meantime we're going to move on to the rest of the day's news

prince philip the husband of reigning british monarch queen elizabeth has died at the age of $99.00 flags at buckingham palace flying at half staff the wall family has entered an official mourning period also the unbiased title of duke of edinburgh philip spent more than 70 years at the queen's side one hour from others there was worry chalons who takes a look back at the life and legacy of the duke of edinburgh. he was by his side throughout the longest reign of a monarchy in british history the prince philip so you could read into it wasn't only a marriage but the life of service to his wife queen elizabeth the 2nd born into greek cannes danish royalty philip had a lonely childhood he was taken under the wing of the british aristocracy when he married the then princess elizabeth in 1947 he was a promising young naval officer. it was a fairytale wedding for

a country emerging from war and hardship. it's all change for the young couple when elizabeth sparta king george the 6th died at only 56 years of age she became queen and philip in the words of his private secretary looked as if the world would fall and down on him his naval career ended along with his independence prince philip was sort of forced into making huge sacrifices he was very much a man's man not someone who was going to naturally fall into the position of playing 2nd fiddle and walking 2 paces behind his wife and calling how ma'am in public and so on and so began life in the queen's shadow hundreds of engagements a year he did however manage to find time for his own charities helping young people and conserving wildlife very energetic a problem solver a sort of scientific cast of mind so there is a sort of you know on the positive side the attributes that people admired

sometimes you know his hit his detractors would would would say that you know some of his forthrightness could come across as rudeness philip had a reputation for embarrassing politically incorrect remarks whether he was being rude about the chinese or indians or swearing at photographers who kept him waiting too long often a sideshow to formal occasions yet even though an air of racism hung over him the story royalist u.k. media generally forgave him he was certainly given a much easier ride than politicians politicians who tend to make a racist or an offensive remark in this day and age tend to have to apologize a couple of days later because so much pressure on them but i never know prince philip to apologize for mark and i remember once he won it over after he said to an aboriginal leader do you still throw space at each other and i saw him do this in australia in 2002 and the next day he came over it made front pages all over the world and he just wanted to. know since if you the complete absence if you so he

was going to apologize. his retirement from public duties came in 2017 with a sendoff from the royal marines. whatever his faults his 60 years of public service was admired by many people while their marriage was said to have had its ups and downs in the couple's younger years prince philip remained dedicated and supportive to the queen chill receive immense sympathy from a british public known to view her with respect and affection. lauren challenge joins us now live from outside buckingham palace in london rory many people paying tribute to the gina fed and british day emphasizing as you were there has long and loyal service to queen and country. you know we've had tributes coming in from around the world i think one of the most

recent ones came from the new president of the united states joe biden who's saying that you know his thoughts and sadness is with the queen and the rest of the royal family look i mean the duke of edinburgh prince philip was a man who as i was explaining there in the report was not without controversy there are people who are going to be waking up today seeing the news and thinking ah this doesn't really affect my life much i'm not a royalist i think the. role family is an outdated institution many young people think that the left wing media left wing press in the united kingdom generally thinks that. there are other people though and i think probably the majority in the country who will be more sympathetic who will see that it was long years of marriage and service i think that people who are older

generations those who belong to the more conservative right wing press think this and they will certainly view him with a lot more veneration and then of course there's the establishment's perspective as well we can hear now how that was voiced earlier in the day by prime minister boris johnson prince philip the affection of generations here in the united kingdom across the commonwealth and around the world he was the longest serving consort in history one of the last surviving people in this country to have served in the 2nd world war. kate mattapan well he was mentioned in dispatches the bravery and in the invasion of sicily where he saved his ship by his quick thinking and from that conflict he took an ethic of service that he applied throughout the unprecedented changes of the post-war era. like the expert carriage driver that he

was he helped to steer the royal family and the monarchy so the it remains an institution indisputably vital to the balance and happiness of our national life. so the queen will be in mourning for 8 days during which time she won't undertake any official work they'll be no royal assent given to any government bills for a month after that she will be going back to work but i think doing that essentially behind closed doors flags around the country official flags will be flying at half mast until the day after the morning after prince philip's funeral and big questions of course hang over that funeral what form will it take to do his wishes it won't be a state funeral he won't lie in state. the plans that are being put in place for you know a grand funeral of some sorts been laid waste by it so now it's looking like

it's going to be a much more intimate much more low key affair a much more family orientated affair taking place at windsor castle no parades through the streets no military honors of in a public forum anyway no crowds just a link shoulder to shoulder because of course of the danger of spreading the disease. that we do we don't know when that's going to take place and exactly what form it will take place but we know it's not going to be the funeral that was previously planned rory chalons reporting live from buckingham palace in london rory many thanks. the irish british prime minister according to common. violence between pro british loyalists and republican nationalists more than 70 police officers have been injured in clashes and reports. this 1st. another night of violence in belfast with rioters hurling rocks and shooting

appears the public wants a united ireland where by the rules. some who lived through the troubles are passing lessons and grievances to the next generation. i don't think young people really understand the details in terms of the irish sea border and stuff i think what they're being told and what they're seeing reflected in in the media is that when and the republicans are went on and on that all right and today is on their attack i'm in a hear those words when they hear that stuff and then they're told all right and the way that you can help is by going through and. they're more than well in the day so. the british irish and northern irish leaders have called for calm the international community is growing worried about any potential unraveling of the good friday agreement but the recent clashes the crisis for young people are about far more than bricks and al-jazeera. the latest round of talks to revive the lombok
