did you do a physical assessment of mr ford. specifically. would you agree that your 1st vitals were taken. proximately 134 and 59 seconds. it would refresh your recollection to review the wrong. witness your. thank you. is the 1st record event of. your recollection that.

really if you question memory with that just let us know of will you go to question every but otherwise your memory of those people that. proximately $1334.00 that's 1 34 pm agreed you took is correct and that would include his one pressure at the time yes in did you record what his blood pressure was at that time. 216 over 116 did you make recommendations to transport mr floyd to the hospital based on that and others. and ultimately did he was he. initially. i believe that's all i have. to go.

all right marty. you provided treatment to george floyd on may 6th 1000 cracked screen. and you were concerned about his blood pressure at that time correct that was one of the things. in the course that of your treatment of him he explained that is high blood pressure wasn't something new right initially. and many bill issues but then when they discovered his blood pressure specifically asked again and he said yes you had history of hypertension and had not been taking his medication. and he said he had been taking his blood pressure medication for months that occurred and he told me that he swallowed some pills right yes. approximately 7 percocet correct.

yes 7 to 9 every 20 minutes or so for. percocet is a brand name. is that oxy code on and acetaminophen yes and it's used to treat pain cracks you testified that it's an opioid yes. so you told me that he had been taking this. throughout the day right. yes and i asked him why he said it's because he said. he told you he was addicted and he responded to your questions about taking the cracks. and he was able to walk correct you know he was able to stand. if you wanted to go to the hospital right. and he didn't feel like he wanted to go to the hospital correct. was he was resistant to going to the hospital i know he was resistant to. his ribs

that he was. it was hard to tell exactly what he was. on an injective this 100. just with respect to going to the hospital your honor. and limit your question the question i asked him that he didn't want to go to the hospital. it took some time to convince him to go to the hospital correct. you had a kid that. he told you he'd been addicted to. and he'd been addicted to opioids at that point for a year and a half right. he didn't feel like he needed to go to the hospital. you want to go into the sun. and you refer to your rand report right that the record that you keep in terms of the treatment patients you see that affair. and according to

your run report you documented that mr flood was alert correct. yes. he obeyed commands correct. eventually that's what is in your remark right. correct. and that he that appropriate response simulation crew has. he wasn't noxious or vomiting when you were treating him right you know his respiratory rate was normal yes. it was an elevated at times he wrote respiratory effort normal in your report correct at the beginning of his if it was normal increased times and throughout your documentation you wrote respiratory or fret f. or normal correct correct at 1334 at 14. 14. 1426 all those notes. you indicated that his respiratory effort was normal correct

. he was not arrested for distress correct. is let us again level was normal. his pulse was normal correct. yes his heart rhythm was regular or normal. his e.k.g. was normal. he had a normal rhythm of the sinus rhythm which is the rhythm of a normal healthy heart correct. and you indicated that you had been. worried about high blood pressure for the possibility of a stroke right. now the things that he did have a stroke didn't have the indications that we're picking up at the time you know never struck by a weapon you know. he was never given our command correct occurred he didn't stop breathing. is hard to stop you know begin to go into cardiac arrest no he didn't go into coma no you took him to the hospital correct and he was monitored for 2 hours

and released right after right i don't know nothing for a lot of. thank you and we said. ok quick sidebar the. court the 2nd witness is. that 2nd witness is the show will saying a retired paramedic and she was talking about. she had to say. she had assessed the. george floyd during that earlier

incident from may 29th seen as ever the judge stress and that this evidence has been prevent presents it's to help assess the physical well being. and not george floyd's carrots or while they take that break let's head outside the courtroom where we can join sean hendry in his life or is in minneapolis john we've been hearing on the for the 1st couple of witnesses there for the defense just talk us through what we've been hearing with those 1st couple of witnesses and where do you think the focus is likely to be here. well this is a controversy old testimony the judge was asked about this this morning the prosecution did not want to include this testimony and that's because generally. you can't bring up prior arrests and that's why the judge kept saying don't use

this to judge george floyd's character this is about how he might have been affected by drugs so this was a 2019 arrest in which floyd allegedly took drugs while he had his back to the police and both the police officer and the paramedic are testifying to that we saw somebody camry camera footage but this is something the ford family objects to they say that the defense is essentially putting george floyd on trial that's because their argument here is that derek chauvet didn't kill george floyd but that he died of a drug overdose 'd or some combination of drugs and disease which he did have according to the medical experts that we have seen so far but it's almost impossible for those jurors to separate the effect of the drugs on george floyd from the. what it seems to reveal about his character the idea behind not allowing this kind of

testimony is that just because you robbed this bank one time doesn't mean you rob that bank another time and so it's generally considered prejudicial to show earlier arrests but in this case the defense says it is crucial to its case to suggest that george floyd has a history of abusing drugs and that that somehow contributed to his death. and head action that are keeping an eye on things for as that in minneapolis or will come but john. and i thank you very much let's figure some other news now in a not so cool that 90 vaccine under scrutiny a few cases of blood closing u.s. health authorities recommends it's a holes in the u.s. the single show still. jonson job as it investigates the incidence of food and drug administration in the u.s. to stress this is a precautionary move. the company is no telling it's not just in the

u.s. but in europe as well now we're going to be speaking to stephanie decker in berlin in just a moment 1st though let's go to patty call haven she's outside the u.s. f.d.a. in silver spring maryland for as. passy just tell us this this new developments from johnson and johnson how much of a bull does this represent to the u.s. vaccination campaign on the whole. well the f.d.a. says it probably won't they said they're going to have this cleared up in a matter of days and there is a lot of criticism so so far they've had ministered 6800000 doses of the johnson and johnson shot and we're talking about 6 cases one of them was fatal another woman is in serious critical condition and blood clots is what they're citing it's fairly common about 2 to 14 people out of a 1000000 get blood clots every year in this country but what the f.d.a. said in a press conference just moments ago is it's not just the blood clot it's

a combination with low platelets and the problem with that is this particular kind of blood clot if you give the usual treatment the doctors give her blood clots it can be fatal so they're doing this they say this pause to send a message to not only people who've gotten the j. and j. shot the last couple of weeks but for doctors to make sure they ask have you gotten the johnson and johnson vaccine because there is treatment for that but it's very different than what doctors normally do but there is real concern that this is going to increase the vaccine hesitancy in this country which is a real problem in a recent poll 37 percent of americans said they would either wait and see wouldn't get the shot unless required absolutely would never get vaccinated so they're trying to stress that response to that here was look we believe in vaccines the pfizer and modernity they've given out 180000000 shots there's been no complications this is not a stoppage it's a pause they want to send a message to people have gotten this and to doctors so they know what to look for ok patsie kohei in the live side of the f.d.a.

thank you very much indeed patsy let's take you across europe we can join stephanie day care reporting from lynn steph let's start with johnson and jones holds that they've implemented it's not just in the united states it's also in europe what kind of impact will this move have on to europe vaccination campaign but she think given the problems they've had getting those vaccines to people in the 1st place. well it's interesting because we were just talking to dr tiller a lawyer today and he was stressing that one of the main issues was the lack of vaccinations the lack of vaccination deliveries and saying that were hoping to get more as the time goes on and germany was expecting a delivery of johnson and johnson mid to late april the european union had secured around $200000000.00 doses to be distributed amongst its members to boost and to

help vaccination campaigns that have you know in some places been sluggish and certainly started very sort of sluggish here in germany it's picked up somewhat recently when local doctors g.p.'s if you will have started to vaccinate their constituency also in allows. for people to get more confidence right if they they know their doctor they have concerns particularly if you're talking about vaccines like astra zeneca which is also had the issues with concerns of blood clotting now you have the johnson and johnson vaccine and again i mean listening to the numbers 6 out of 6800000 is a very small percentage rate however there is this lack of. awareness let's say these vaccines were developed very quickly so of course you do have people that are concerned and i think you know certainly it's show that if you have a doctor that you know you have questions and you can ask someone who's more personally related to you it does help but i think yes of course it is going to not help what has already been a sluggish vaccination campaign certainly here in germany and also in other places

across europe well let's stick with germany stephanie because they're in the middle of another wave of coverts infections are the governments is trying to bring in stricter measures to tackle this 3rd wave and it's proving somewhat controversial. yes chancellor angela merkel has tried over the last couple of weeks a particular over the easter period to try and impose strict lockdowns warning not just her but also medical voices that the 3rd wave could be the worse at this country has seen so far that lock downs are needed if not over capacity 8 the health system the problem with germany is that you have a decentralized system a federal system where the 16 states are in charge of their own health policy so what you saw was perhaps angela merkel sitting with the 16 leaders agreeing on lockdown measures everyone then going back to their regions and implementing it in

a different way sometimes even lifting restrictions when the numbers were increasing and certainly it hasn't done anything to stem the flow so what we're seeing now is legislation trying to be passed the palace cabinet has approved it it needs to get through parliament still however if it does policy we're expecting that vote to happen this week it will give the central government the powers to implement those lockdowns across the states where the number of infections hit a certain limit so this is where she's trying to after a lot of frustration to put her foot down certainly you know and a lot of voices are growing that this is needed to be able to stem the increase in numbers here ok stephanie live from berlin thank you very much indeed stephan. india says it will be a proven foreign bank scene starting with russia's sputnik vini again reporting the world's highest daily tally of new covert 1000 infections it confirms more than 161000 new cases on choose day and 879

but the actual numbers expected to be higher because test results were deletes over the weekends elizabeth purana house floor from new delhi. unfortunately we are seeing the kinds of pictures that we did last year during the peak of the 1st wave of the coronavirus most recently we have seen pictures of bodies outside the biggest government run hospital in the city of port and dr bruce chief medical officer said this is because they don't have enough freezes to keep the bodies and that there are more bodies at cremorne tory and in the city than can be cremated that hospital's intensive care units and oxygen equipped beds have been almost full capacity over the past week i put it in the state of chuck the square which is one of the worst affected at the moment it also has a disproportionately high death rate which is why the central government and to

medical teams to chop the sky to find out why the situation is so bad there why more people seem to be dying there and those teams reported back and said that there are a number of issues there is a lack of hospital beds in many districts there's a shortage of ambulances in one district that the number of tests are going down that containment measures aren't being aren't being. imposed properly and that there is resistance to other containment measures including attacks on health care workers boss these issues and are not unique to that state most of these issues are and we have reports of a shortage of medical facilities of equipment in a number of places most notably in the worst affected states where medical teams which was sent there also said that there was an act of oxygen supply and even malfunctioning ventilators iran the says it's a start and rich in uranium to 60 percent purity and would be the most significant

breach of the 2050 nuclear deal that has already united states would reach to 20 percent for that perspective 90 percent would be needed to produce a weapon. maintains the program is for peaceful purposes let's get more now. from. iran's uranium enrichment plans at this stage. well we're told that they will begin enriching to 60 percent and they will be installing $1000.00 new century or more advanced centrifuges at the natanz plant was also significant is that iran says that this 20 percent uranium enrichment to 60 percent sorry you bring him in richmond will take place at natanz the very facility that was attacked on sunday so there were questions around how much damage was done or how far back iran's nuclear program was set back with iran

seems to be answering that with this increased enrichment levels some of this was. that he promised that iran would. put in more advanced centrifuges and that israel's attack had given iran an open hand to expand its nuclear activities at the very next hand facility so again this is quite significant as you said before the 2015 nuclear deal iran was enriching to 20 percent after that deal it was 3.67 percent then it went to 20 percent in late last year and now it's at 60 percent. and are surging russia's sergei lavrov has been holding talks in. marriage from those discussions. well. he met with. president hassan rouhani now what he has said is that russia wants to preserve the deal and they reject any attempt to try and delay or obstruct that deal he also

said that russia condemns any attempts to undermine those negotiations that are going to take place in vienna now russia and iran are on the same page when it comes to this 2015 nuclear deal both have called for u.s. sanctions on iran to be. lifted russia very much in iran's corner from inside divide 3 fourths ok back to warning he told united states that time was running out and that's because the government will be out of office the term comes to an end in august this year but also this pressure from within the country from some conservative parliamentarians calling on the president hasn't rouhani to enter negotiations because of this incident at natanz. said bank there reporting live from tel thank you very much.

let's take you back to our coverage of day 12 of the derek show and trial in minneapolis the former policeman is accused of murdering george ford i mean on his neck for more than 9 minutes in a case that triggered worldwide protests demanding racial justice the defense has now started questioning its witnesses but at the same time also increasing tensions and minneapolis is the killing of another black man by police officer on sunday during a traffic stop several people being arrested for protesting during a curfew police fired tear gas and rubber bullets the state of emergency has been declared in the area so hideouts reports. these people have gathered in solidarity under a raised black power fist for them it's symbolic of the struggle against racism and discrimination they say black people face daily in the united states the vigil is being held for dante right to 20 year old african-american shots and killed by

a police officer during a routine traffic stop on sunday his brother rejects suggestions by the police the officer involved appeared to intend to fire a taser not her gun i can never understand that. why i think i am a white man i would never understand my brother in law why because they were perhaps like. no good for me right now the complete lack of the right spend his last moments with his girlfriend sitting next to him in the car his mother was talking to him on the phone about what to say to the police when he was shot in the chest the officer involved has served in the force for 26 years brooklyn center police chief says the incident was a tragic error 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 in the officer's reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge there resulted in the tragic death of mr wright. for

a 2nd night though more confrontations between protesters and police who just killed by the way when i was curious about my god are you ok let me go. and get by repeated instances of police brutality and racial profiling in the u.s. hundreds of protesters defy to cuff you started on monday and have continued to protest despite police using tear gas against them the unrest comes as the trial of former policeman derek shows it is being held a few kilometers away he's facing charges of murder if the killing of george floyd last year. some protests turned violent overnight with several businesses knutson damaged president joe biden has called for peace and calm question is does it actually was intentional every man is to be determined. by what i see. but in the meantime i want to make it clear again there is absolutely no

justification. for looting the 1st black mayor of brooklyn center has expressed his shall we are in pain right now and we recognize that this cannot happen at a worse time we recognize that this is happening at a time when our community when all of america indeed all of the the world. as watching many are expecting more unrest in the minneapolis suburb and a state of emergency has been declared. we can speak now to kenneth williams is a professor of law at these sites texas kohut of law and joins us now from houston street to have you with us on the news this trial the jury trial is ongoing but the package we have just shown this recent police shooting accident or not shows a so very much a hot button issue in the united states right now given all of this what impact is

this likely to have on the trial which is ongoing. well that's the big unknown. concern about there you know the judge has. already in light of the shooting. occurred over the weekend so there certainly will be an appeal is surely. going to mr and show that across here. let's turn to the testimony that with that we've heard just now the prosecution has rested when i want to see the defense testimony in its testimony this proved quite controversial. what was your reaction to what we just heard these 2 retired officers bringing you know bringing into the records a previous arrest of the guy who has been killed i mean who is on trial here george

floyd or derek show. yes well the defense and certainly trying to put mr floyd on trial because that's their. right one acquittal and they say jury i think at this point their strategy is a hung jury and that's why you're seeing these type of witnesses offered and yes it in fact this expert whether mr florian would have died had complied with the police and that could actually resonate with a jury and i think at this point that's their big shot to get a couple of juries to actually hold out and vote for the acquittal when you have a hung jury and now obviously he will have a. new trial and then get to present and it's do you think the judge was right to include this testimony because it was very controversial. i no i don't think so because what the prosecutor with the defense is trying to show is that mr lloyd had a pattern. disobey meted out police and being on drugs. were

arrested. and then of course all these taints mr floor and all of the talk about the. him being arrested previously you have some jurors who mind concluded from that that he's a better person and he might have gotten what he deserved or had he complied he were not here so this type of evidence typically it is not it is in the trial either one of the big dome or defended bad acts generally want to be there but the judge allowed it in this case that what what what do you think the reason for this for this was at the end if you were the prosecution here i would you try to succumb to that because you can raise all the objections you like but people can only hear things which you push back and what tactic should the the prosecution consider using in this instance. well i think the prosecution's focus should be on the

misconduct of mr r. show no i can remind the jury look at it certainly can show that he's on throughout and not mr our lawyer and. the one time. there was not apparently. the one time. and try to move the focus away from mr florida he drug use and. stuff exactly that. you know the more there's the discussion about your lord and drug your instance paragraphs we look at the greater the chance you are shown to be not if not acquitted we're going to be a hung jury and that's clearly. ok the problem is not going to the minister of lloyd bentsen clearly scary ok can i say well you miss that professor of law at the site texas college of law great to get your thoughts thank you so much shit for talking as a theory of the testimony and how this could impact on the trial shirtless

so let's go on al-jazeera the philippine president re-emerges after being missing for weeks during a time of crisis real madrid's caps and stats the cost of covert $19.00 and so has the tennis world bumper to say joe will have all your sport for him later as the sack. now at the moment threat arabia's generally quiet and fine is turned phrase humid recently around the gulf states in qatar bahrain and the eastern side of society but that normally plays a problem reduce the humidity it's warming up the sun is out now on the coast of for example lebanon beirut sees a temperature rise above the average about 25 over the next 3 days which is very

pleasing it's been rather cool sherry just recently the last the snows gong from the sun caucasus but it's still there in afghanistan and we might see a few showers generation the hard ground the mountains of western society or western yemen and that increase in the breeze in the north might well bring some yet more hazy dusty through the gulf down towards us it's like at the moment to be honest the seasonal rains in africa are on their way north with the sun so the good doc now goes out from madagascar sir tanzania catching uganda and back towards d.r. congo which leaves behind actually rather warm and quiet weather for most places which consider me going to water is maybe a bit surprising but every down again you do it a change in the cooler wetter windy weather is out of the eastern cape east side of south africa towards mozambique it's happening again.

health authorities have recommended a pause in the use of the johnson and johnson vaccine as it investigates a few cases of severe blood clotting the food and drug administration stressed that this is a precautionary move. well for more on this we can bring in dr eric final doing he's an epidemiologist stand chief of covert risk communications at the federation of american scientists in washington d.c. is great to have you with us on the news hour for the lead person this looks an awful lot like the problems the astra zeneca vaccine has. a new vaccine and we're seeing some severe cases of blood coursing with low platelet campaigns i guess the 1st question many of our viewers will have as is this vaccine safe. first of all that's a question but a vaccine i think it's a very very safe just important perspective if only you found 6 o'clock of this

very rare or severe or unusual out of 6.8 almost 7000000 rocks nations that were that's less than one in a 1000000 to good numbers prospective compared to how she's going to go that is 10 times lower than what you found with ashley seneca in germany in 4 times. lower than what you found in the case so this is this is a very very stream i don't think you can always compare some people say it might be a class effect because johnson johnson actions are going to pose out no viruses or different i've no viruses but. to target speculate i think overall it is stream when you see friends beneficial in and especially in the ongoing pandemic the risk benefit calculation is not even close is by far. very beneficial and the risks are not even established this cause will only be just what the this this this pause it

could already be having an effect on us all very well to talk about you know the risks being one in a 1000000 but for people who are considering taking this vaccine the question is it was in the back of your head what if i am not one in a 1000000 i'm not kidding it's have an impact on vaccine take up could it not. theoretically yes and this is why you know they've actually said they're astronomical vaccine and you know it. should be in those over the age of 30 in some countries and so i think that suno in some ways but i think their actions on the story is very different there was lots more other different contributions and actually johnson and johnson 1st of all you only get half goes down because it's a single dose and again it is much much lower and i don't think people i do understand that when you go out and vote in a car there is always a risk of

a car accident or when you write a claim there's always an iris krasnow i think those are always going but i don't think it's going to cause i didn't see specially if it's a very temporary on the 1st ever no one chooses to have a car accident they choose to have a vaccine and that's the difference isn't it if you raise the challenges that they astra zeneca vaccine have had we've had several medical boards easy to run said that they are still safe says what you're saying that the johnson and johnson is safer than astra zeneca fears watching this i mean what what what should they take from this we're hearing of 2 separate vaccines that could potentially in the links have been established at this stage it's important to say they could potentially have these severe consequences for our viewers who are watching at home if they are all foods and i was just out of that scene or a johnson and johnson vaccine what would you find since it. my advice is absolutely

take them especially for john and johnson there's no question about it i want to remind people that for every 100000 people who are over the age of 50 who does not take a back seen today when so it takes it tomorrow and that leads up to 18 deaths at the current global a rate. and this is why you know 1000000 people stop taking in today and delay and try to wait for into their preferred vaccine and tomorrow that's going to affect 150 deaths per day and this is why in this one in a 1000000 look you have to put in perspective it's not even close and also i choose to get into a car just like oh you choose to take a back seat but we don't shoes when they were if the coat. of arms will hit us this is why this is not even close of a decision making and i don't think this is johnson and johnson is a very temporary thing and i think the obese clinical guidance is in better respect

yours identified and put in place so i don't think it's any concern ok a very important message there for you don't say eric if i go. any vaccine is much safer than contracting cove at 19 thank you very much indeed for joining us on the news i really appreciate it. that more hot ash and rocks of rained in on the caribbean island of st vincent after a 2nd volcanic eruption in less than a week the explosion over the area is believed to be one of the largest in more than a century and 16000 people have been forced to leave areas cool spy but authorities say they're concerned about residents who've refused to move for more on this we can speak night see it as the prime minister of the islands of st vincent and the granite scenes he joins us now from the capital kingston thank you so much for joining us on the news just give us a sense of what the situation is like in your country right now. well.

the northern no one target of the island is quite desolate. almost all the persons have left the day a few had he saw those who are trying to break the code and we're trying. to get them out one by one through through the road system and the course gal by the by the sea. we have 80 odd shelters in operation we have a lot of people who. have come out of. the red zone and they are in zone into private homes they have been good samaritans who have come in and assisted. and that relief effort is going pretty ok but we need a lot of support we have a problem with water because naturally the ash creates a problem for the water supply we normally have an excellent water supply system we

have below 50 percent capacity at the moment so we have problems boat in the shelters and across the country with water. the this morning which incidentally is the 42nd anniversary of the eruption in 1989 it seems as though only the last hour for a decided. she was going to celebrate her birthday a little bit with a bang and fortunately it wasn't the bang as big as a couple of the earlier ones the danger. which we see is when you don't have a dispute of the ash. we are 20 kilometers in the sky and that the problem of the ash is well known and you're reported excellently and that i've seen your reports but the when it didn't burst last the energy too would very fire up into the atmosphere it means i did collapses and

comes down besides of the creator. on the hillsides and valleys as pirate class pirate plastic saws and plastic flows go out into the sea up to 2 tree miles and that can be very dangerous if it needs any object it will move it many animal and human being in the car truck. holes houses clams other models fortunately the deer is rare we have had the power of plastic close to 0 as not inhabited. so that we have been lucky in that regard the. general situation is really challenging. the normal life doesn't exist we are trying. to green zone carry on. the office of the prime minister have some members of staff

here with me because we have to get on doing the work essential services our work in relief supplies are coming in. we are very resilient people and we're trying to make the best of it i'm sure you are let me get let me ask you about that because that's alarming it's a here prime minister that you have 50 percent capacity of water stocks left which is quite alarming you've issued an evacuation notice for the north of the country but this eruption is i mean it's not all for this is something which is continuing are you worried that this red zone critics spans further size and impact even more of the population and how long do you anticipate this emergency situation to continue for. all of. it there are possibilities that it could end at extent for the so didn't flee. the

orange eras and in fact it it has to some extent. we can see with mathematical precision how long it's going to last but this is a long or we going to be in this condition for for months perhaps or more but it's going to take much longer time to react billet doux to reconstruct. agriculture in that part of the country has gone. on. a lot of holes is been destroyed by the weeds of the ash the health implications of the ash we're still assessing and we have sent samples of the test in relevant are trees and all this is to get in please it limits of recorded pandemic we have been controlling because it pandemic fairly well since last year but in shelters you know when people are congested. problems they

must see what we have a year i have read your. your health system i mean is it prepared for an event of the scale you're talking about the pandemic collates and with a natural disaster. the health the health system to be able to prepare for the chaos that's been unleashed by this not sure all disaster. well we have a we have a pretty good public health system and we have a song primary health care system and we have. clinics and rural hospitals dotted across the whole country and generally speaking that we have spent a lot of resources and build those things just like we have done it in national emergency management organization but it doesn't matter how you prepare for these things the challenges do come and then what happens you focus on these public
