8:03 pm
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
8:04 pm
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've never known a prince philip to apologize for a 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 were 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 is 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. and

rory challenge is with us now live from outside buckingham palace in london rory many people today paying tribute to the emphasizing as you were his long and loyal service to queen and country. yeah that the messages coming in to the u.k. from important people from around the world older ones the late sister coming from barack obama and the new president of the united states joe biden expressing. him and barack obama expressing their sadness and their respect for the benefit for all for prince philip as to what the united kingdom as a country feels about this what of course it's a country with very different views in different parts of it different generations thinking different things i think many young people. on the left wing of the
8:06 pm
political spectrum certainly a left wing media anti-royalist will be thinking well this man was nothing to me it doesn't really matter to my life whether he has died i would give this no more thought than i would to the death or of any other 99 year old man i think if you are a bit older perhaps or more conservative more right leaning then you're going to have very different views. from on a key markets views tend to be stronger in those sections of the population they will be feeling this loss will be feeling for the queen and i think it will be felt much more keenly in those sections of the british population and then of course you get the messages of condolence coming from the british establishment from the government itself and we heard from prime minister boris johnson a little while earlier today. 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 a cape mattapan where he was mentioned in dispatches for 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 that remains an institution indisputably vital to the balance and happiness of our national life as such a central pillar of the british monarchy roarin what sort of funeral will prince
8:08 pm
philip be afforded. well i think a very different funeral from the one that was planned by people in the palace for many years up until covert that plan a is had to be ripped up and now plan b. well we don't know the exact details of it but we know that it's not going to be a great big public funeral the prince's wishes were not to have a state funeral or not to lie in state we understand that because of covert because of the restrictions placed on public gatherings of the moments of the united kingdom they won't be parades through the streets that the funeral be much smaller and taking place at windsor castle still we understand to be televised but certainly not what it would have been otherwise which would have had people coming from all over the world crowds lining the streets and waving flags perhaps a coffin is drawn through the power of london to windsor by horse drawn carriage
8:09 pm
that won't happen so we know that the queen is going into 8 days of mourning during that time all of her events a canceled there won't be any royal signatures puts 2 government bills flags are going to be flown at half mosques around the country until the day after the funeral wherever that whenever that is and whatever form it takes. or a child's reporting live from buckingham palace in london many thanks henri another expert has testified that george floyd died due to a lack of oxygen from the way that he was held down by police forensic pathologist lindsay thomas has explained how the pressure george floyd was under during his arrest restricted his airway making it difficult to breathe she rejected the defense theory that floyd's drug use and underlying health problems killed him prosecutors asked dr thomas to explain her analysis of floyd's autopsy. what it
8:10 pm
means to me is that the activities of the law enforcement officers resulted in mr floyd staff and that specifically those activities were the subdual of the restraint and neck compression and does this not also represent your own conclusion yes a conclusion you have reached them an opinion you hold a reasonable degree of medical certainty yes. minneapolis. is covering the trial for us day 10 of this trial and what's been happening so far. this is no being redirected by the prosecution you'll know what you've seen so many cops shows prosecution get their turn the defense then ask questions the prosecution then get a chance to clarify a few points how deadly evidence is to be giving evidence now for almost 3 hours has been pretty clear she says that the police were certainly involved what they did on the scene led to george floyd's death and she said with
8:11 pm
a healthy person would even have struggled to survive under that but with the action of the police george floyd would still be alive today she said and he said that the videos that been provided help to arrive at that conclusion and she was asked about the question of the what homicide being used on the death certificate she did point to the homicide is something that medical examiners used to say death at the hands of another it is not illegal judgment that she pointed out it's for the courts to decide and that's exactly what is happening at the moment. she said that. the idea of methamphetamine being in this system which we know there was traces of she said not to have led to the death of george for you know under cross-examination she was asked a couple of hypothetical questions she said look if you know the george had a heart condition if he was found dead with the drugs and with the police force he could possibly be the cause of death and she said absolutely and then he said well
8:12 pm
if he just took drugs and did the heart condition and there was no force in the police could he have died and again she agreed but in both cases she said these are very narrow set of circumstances but that's the defense's job to try and close to through some doubt because as we've said before the prosecutor's job to prove prosecutor defense's job just to introduce an element of doubt and that's exactly what they're trying to do in the cross-examination of lindsay thomas. many thanks indeed alan alan fischer their lives in minneapolis we're going to weather update thanks to announce a 0 then new violence stokes old fears in northern ireland we'll look at the what's causing the worst rising to a news. out of push for a lockdown in germany's deal with a rising number of covert 19 infections and to relieve the country's overburdened health care system.
