a traffic stop on sunday alan fischer reports a lot of police chiefs called a tragic error. in a futile shooting of another black man by police 20 year old don't write killed on the streets of brooklyn center near minneapolis a tragic error says the police chief is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser but instead shot mr wright with a single bullet. this appears to me from what i viewed and the officers reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge this all coming as a former police officer stands trial in minneapolis for the murder of another black man george floyd just a year ago the media 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 will watch tonight as soon as i did the film which is truly the body cam which is fairly. truly 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 started shooting 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 defuse 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 you think that 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 especially to the question are things ever going to change alan fischer al-jazeera brooklyn center minnesota shabbath town c is monitoring developments from washington d.c. . it's very much in the area that allan was reporting that during the day the area

around the police the police station has had been an area where people had started to gather throughout the day and continued to gather off to the curfew began i should say it was interesting to hear allen say well the police chief said that he hoped the transparency would diffuse some of the anger when the protesters 1st got that what was flying on the the flag side outside the police station was the the blue lives matter thin blue line flag that it's come to come to symbolize police defiance against black lives matter hardly hardly putting out the olive branch have to be said for the protesters who are protesting against yet another 20 year old black man being killed by the police in what the medical examiner says was a homicide everything was relatively peaceful there we had the police on one side of a fence and we have the protesters on the other side of the fence as is so often the case that at some point for whatever reason it's not an entirely clear what the police suddenly decide all right it's not time to go in they began firing tear gas

flash bang grenades they started moving forward and now we know i mean now we can see what the strategy is i guess is what they were trying to achieve which was to try to get people as far away from that police station as possible so they've dispersed the crowd now down down the street basically from what we can tell the protesters are now and also lining the streets basically down from the area where they are allowed down into. interior into the suburbs well jarret going it is an independent journalist who is at the vigil for dawn tehran and the protests that followed he says the key will be how city in place officials act over the coming days. the key thing is there is that you have a relatively new relatively progressive black elected mayor in a position to potentially make direct changes including firing a police chief he doesn't have to. unlike minneapolis unlike other places he'll have a lot more direct control over what happens it will be interesting to see what he

does with that but you know this is a state where there is just local there's been year after year after year after police shootings and i think that the protests are about this individual case but there it within that context so it's you know the yeah actually his actions aren't going to necessarily calm things or are change the narrative completely right might remember there was found under castille there was justin damon. and there's been other cases as well that have hit minnesota hard in the last few years it follows a recent trend we saw that with floyd and with the case of george floyd's death as well where you know the mayor and activists called for the firing immediately in that case that it was granted now that police chief here has taken a different position and that's why some people think that his because it is job may be in jeopardy in the coming days but we'll have to see. hunt just 20 kilometers from the police shooting that killed dante wright is wade george floyd

died almost a year ago floyd's brother has testified in the murder trial of derek shoulder and he described floyd as a family man who loved this siblings had a one of a conversation chip with his mother john hendren has the story from minneapolis. the witness for the prosecution testified to the life lost when george floyd drew his last breath at the bridge beneath the police officers neat. people. just because he was nobody. to him and. he did it with a person. everybody the running community he is moved to make people feel better a unique spark of life doctrine in minnesota allows prosecutors to humanize crime victims like george floyd as his brother phil a nice did is the prosecution showed pictures of his slain brother prosecutors

prejudiced or might be inclined to convict jovan to avoid more civil unrest but the judge said no i'm going to deny the motion request of the jury and for additional blood here this is a totally different case after 2 weeks of prosecution witnesses the defense begins to present its case on tuesday and it's likely to be a short one the judge says he expects it 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. like how to treat a mom is. he he just he loved her so dearly when we went to the funeral. if it is joy. he would just say. mom was over there would be. you remember 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 arguments that george floyd wasn't suffering from a heart attack or a drug overdose but knew that he was taking his last breaths as his life was being choked out of him john hendren al jazeera minneapolis. china says japan's decision to release more than a 1000000 tons of contaminated water into the sea from its ruined fukushima nuclear plant is extremely irresponsible people are protesting in tokyo japan says the water is being treated and does not pose any risk beijing and south korea say they'll take necessary steps to ensure the health of the. bride is with protesters in seoul. this is a highly controversial decision that has been long awaited here in northeast asia

now over the years this is simply been stored in storage tanks that have been added to by the operators of the plant it has been treated to the operators say it is taken out most of the radioactivity but there is a still low level radiation connected contaminating this water now the author already say it is in such small amounts minuscule amounts that it will make no difference once it's released into the oceans but of course it's the perception of that which is going to impact people in that area with their fisheries opposed to this also agriculture and tourism. still ahead on al-jazeera. a generation has been lost in the united nations special envoy for yemen warns the countries children are being deprived of their future. and a volcano on the caribbean island of st vincent explodes in its biggest eruption yet.

you face to meet this deadline in terms of c o clint plumber acknowledges it won't be easy our challenge is new york's show and it's also a culture challenge of the world challenge is how do we transition from a city that's right i merely on fossil fuels for as long as i want just today to one that's. now running on clean energy infrastructure that's making people more diverse. because the batteries will replace their dirtiest carbon spewing oil and gas fired generators the ones they rely on to power new york city in high demand periods like a heat wave the plan is to connect them to wind and solar farms proposed for construction outside the city new york is attempting to women self off of fossil fuels at the same time it's taking another major source of carbon free electricity offline indian point nuclear power plant in 2019 this facility alone was responsible for 13 percent of the state's power unlike fossil fuels our emits no

carbon and no small unlike knoebels like solar and wind it is not intermittent. pro-nuclear power environmentalist say batteries aren't yet up to the task of replacing fossil fuels the group nuclear new york calculates it. take a wind farm larger than new york city to replace the energy generated by indian point alone the amount of electricity that it will store the. 30 minutes of new york city's energy needs so if you think about. the amount of solar or wind that you hypothetically feed to that battery to feed new york city. like where are you going to put it. natural gas facilities are expected to make up the difference resulting in an increase in carbon emissions in the short term still others say the switch to renewables can't wait i think we're going to be

. magic. but it's. really. and we're really on now the path may be uncertain but in new york the goal of eliminating carbon emissions at least is no longer up for debate kristen salumi al jazeera new york. let's take you through some of the headlines here now just 0 now police in the u.s. have used tear gas to disperse protesters in minneapolis the mayor's declared a state of emergency but people are defying an 11 hour curfew tensions are growing over the police shooting of an unarmed black man shavar a town city has more from washington d.c. . before the curfew there was a vigil for dawn to right elsewhere in the city
