man george floyd just a year ago the mayor expressing his shock at such a twist we recognize that this is happening at a time when our community when all of america indeed all of the world is watching. our community from the white house president joe biden also made clear his frustration we were all watched and i assume his idea of the film which is truly the body cam which is fairly. clearly graphic question is was in an accident or was it intentional every man is to be determined. by whom on investigation don't you right called his mother as it was all happening the call ended when she dialed his number again his girlfriend answered and said he was dead in the driver seat like a minute later i called in his girlfriend answered with the passenger in the car and that even such as you see acted like tender on an already volatile situation

hundreds took to the streets to protest overnight but some of those protests turned violent it's been reported 20 local businesses were looted what's been described as a chemical attitude was used to disperse the crowd which was growing in numbers and frustration police here guarding the local station have a to face off against angry protesters they've brought in state troopers in the national guard to bolster the numbers they've even brought in concrete blocks to secure the area the local police chief believes that if he's open and transparent that might diffuse some of the younger but that might not be enough for african-american boys so every day as a father raising boys in america how do they do it makes me feel terrified but it's not a shocking i mean it was a shock we this is what happened for over 400 years for us a state level investigation is now underway the local community wants answers

here this is a totally different case after 2 weeks of prosecution witnesses the defense case on tuesday and it's likely to be a short one. expected to be over in time for closing arguments on monday and when that happens the jury will be sequestered until they render a verdict. as they deliberate prosecutors hope they'll reflect on the man show is accused of killing show like how to treat our mom in how to respect he he just he loved her so dearly when we went to the funeral. it is george's carefully almost over here he would just say mom. mom was over there would be. humor it's not likely to be lost on the jury that those are also women floyd's last words as he lay on the pavement. evidence the prosecution is likely to suggest in its closing

many opponents in many different corners to the resumption of their joint comprehensive plan of action not the least of which is from within iran itself iran is now urging the international atomic energy agency to take action saying it reserves the right to punish the perpetrators there's been no official comment from the israeli government but the media here are widely reporting this as an israeli attack it comes as the u.s. and iran are preparing to resume power low talks in vienna aimed at resuscitating the 2015 nuclear deal a deal that the israeli prime minister persuaded president trump to withdraw from and which he still vehemently opposes. a tense backdrop then the benjamin netanyahu 1st face to face meeting with a senior member of the biden administration u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin and we both agree that iran must never possess nuclear weapons my policy as prime minister of israel is clear i will never allow

monday following the fatal police shooting in the brooklyn center players walked off the field just minutes before the major league baseball game between minnesota twins and the boston red sox was due to start the twins organization says the decision was made out of respect for the tragic events let's bring in the you who williams he's the founding director of the racial justice initiative at the university of st thomas and he joins me now via skype from st paul in minnesota mr williams thanks so much for joining us on al jazeera before we get into the might say the nitty gritty of events of the past 18 months and certainly the events of the past 24 hours how would you describe the atmosphere right now in the brooklyn center and its nearby area. it's incredibly tense here a signal there is a great deal of frustration on the part of individuals in this community as a whore in some sense that fortunately they are concerned about justice being served not only in the case of george floyd but now this latest case of police

brutality in this shooting of diety right it's obviously it's obviously this resorted to so it comes as a very difficult time for minneapolis and one wonders whether an explanation like the one we've heard from the police chief goes any way to find understanding that this was perhaps a tragic mistake be it a fatal one it is that explanation acceptable to the community right now. it's hard for the community to accept that because the fragile trust the bond between the community the police has been broken has been a pattern in the twin cities here in minneapolis and st paul in brooklyn center in fact in a nation as a whole of these types of encounters which wind up with dead black and brown people and so it's very difficult for the q you accept that explanation when he says tatar and of discriminatory behavior of police brutality and ultimately as in this particular case killings of on armed black people by police. of course we all

watching live pictures brooklyn sent up the moment mr williams is pretty peaceful noisy at the bible to us to be said before george floyd before we're done tay writes what was the relationship between you might say the general public people of color and the police in your area and generally in the state. things have been tense for quite a while that's the reason so you know that we're in the midst of a national black lives matter movement here in the united states that goes back at least to 2012 with the killing of trayvon martin in sanford florida here in the twin cities of minneapolis st paul we have the case of a gentleman playing the castillo who was shot by the police in 20162017 in other cases not garner the scene amount of media attention like the case that you marquardt of recent memory which keep this community pretty much on edge there's

real concern in minneapolis tonight real concern in this region generally and that's the reason the governor a missed call for the curfew that there might be a replay of last year a violent writing at the same time it's important to distinguish between the peaceful protests that are happening here in the twin cities from organizations and activists who are saying this pattern of behavior this pattern of abuse and police brutality needs to stop but if that's the case of the relationship as you suggest between the public and. a mournful speech is perhaps at an all time low i mean this recent incident with done tehran. how to sort of trust rebuild it sells in the city in an area so shocked by the events of the past year have been trust making steps. to seen in the past 18 months or has nothing being done. it's a great question so you know i think part of the challenge in the last 18 months is

there have been conversation since the murder of george floyd at least around defund the police here in many outlets and this is an argument that we need to reallocate resources from police to other areas to deal with things like mental health substance abuse that we need to decriminalize kind of minor offenses if we think about what happened it on t.v. right here saying that that initial traffic stop was because of suspended tags many officers continue to stop because the air freshener in its window are we going to they're going to society here in the state people are executed for these type of minor offenses for causing the $2020.00 bill in case if you were exploited for having an air freshener obstructing your windshield in the case of county right when activists look at this they come to the conclusion that really this is a war on black and brown bodies in public spaces this is a problem of policing and systemic racism and it's the reason why that fragile trust and efforts that trust rebuilding have been so difficult. to williams it's

been good to speak to you and thank you very much for your time and for joining us from the u.s. would just remind all of you is of the pictures that are saying right now security personnel mainly police were temporary barricades around civic buildings maybe the police station in brooklyn said and done typewrite was killed just what 24 hours ago that is supposed to be a curfew in place according to the. the jacob. frae people of c. ignoring that to vent their frustration at what they see is going indiscriminate killings of people of color will continue to monitor what goes on in brooklyn heights as the day progresses. mexico honduras and guatemala have agreed to increase the number of troops on their border as a growing number of migrants trying to make their way to the u.s. that's according to a white house official the number of people seeking asylum in the u.s.

has increased in recent months last despite mexico deploy more soldiers in march and honduras doing the same in january she has written c. has more from washington d.c. . i think it shows once again how much continuity there is between the by did ministrations policies on migration and the trumpet ministrations policy on migration it's true that there have been a spike in numbers at least of encounters at the border and these could be repeat repeat attempts at seeking asylum in the us but joe biden has retained the most draconian of the trump era policies notably title $42.00 which prevents the vast majority of asylum seekers and refugees from seeking due process in complete violation of international and domestic law only biden is allowing in unaccompanied children and rather reluctantly allowing in families with young children or those trying to pressure mexico to keep those families with young children in mexico it's rather worrying for migrant rights groups who hear the rhetoric of the biting ministration of such concern about on the company children and families with young

young children but what they seem to be doing in effect right now is is encouraging very strongly mexico and central american nations to crack down hard on migrants heading to to the u.s. and of course many of these forces have terrible human rights record in fact there's a tweet from what a noted immigrant right person in the u.s. a key objective is to outsource the abuse of migrants to other governments to push the abuses off u.s. soil so that the u.s. government can escape accountability and not terribly impressed. more hot ash gas and rocks have rained down on the caribbean island of st vincent after a 2nd major volcanic eruption in less than a week the explosion of lawsuits volcano is believed to be one of the largest in more than a century around 16000 people have been evacuated from areas around the volcano authorities say they're concerned about an unknown number of residents who've refused to move colvin harry is a program manager at n.b.c.

radio he says the islands are already in desperate need of aid. because i want to distribution system depends on on as mentioned a surface water which is highly contaminated many are for want to collection systems in the upper want to share below the flanks of the volcano and in close proximity to be affected by ash drinking want to is very much hard to come by now there are persons who have been to the stores that were opened a few that were open today searching for bottled water to purchase and that has been a limited supply we have gotten pledges from our regional neighbors to get bottled water to us but we don't have the time and the yet but it's a matter of us having drinking water particularly and fresh available want to put particularly those in the shelters and those who remain in their homes across the different zones the concern is that the the explosive eruption will continue the scientists advised that this may go on for days and they go on for weeks beyond that and there may be very large explosions from time to time throwing even more

more ash into the atmosphere and the ever present threat of the plastic density currents is one of the major concerns from the limited reports we've had in those ones because it's really dangerous to be that this time we've heard of stories of farmlands pretty much been stripped to bare of of leaves and all of the things that you would normally see on a farm the structures have all been destroyed a very close to the volcano and there's information is limited and it's not going to be a pretty picture when we when we get a few full view of the things. government has agreed to release treated radioactive waste water from the crippled fukushima nuclear plant into the pacific ocean it says they'll be no effect on humans or the environment that's been strong opposition in japan and internationally the fishing industry and neighboring countries say could cause harm being released a decade after an earthquake triggered a meltdown at the fukushima nuclear plant that comes from water pumped into actors
