a black man 16 times in 2014 was convicted of murder we live in a city that is traumatized by a long history of police violence and misconduct so while we don't have enough information to be the judge and jury of this particular situation it is certainly understandable why so many of our residents are feeling an all too familiar surge of outrage and pain. chicago's mayor and the toledo family have issued a joint call for calm in the city acknowledging the painful footage will listen any motion no response from all who view it the last moments of a 13 year old who according to his mother had dreamed of becoming a police officer himself now dead at the hands of. castro al-jazeera. has spoken with an eyewitness who says police did not give don't a right immediate medical care after he was shot by an officer the 20 year old had

person you saw. housing told al-jazeera that she was misquoted she alleges that the official account does not report that a significant amount of time passed between the car coming to arrest and dante wright being given any medical care they waited these 4 minutes before they got him out of the car they got her out of you. right away if. you shot. and you recognize we realize you shot it and you should have done that then why is it your number one priority to go in and try and save his life and give him a chance in life why are you doing that handsome began filming minutes after she arrived so you can see wright's white car between the police vehicles no one is attempting to help right she says only a minute and a half off the she began filming right being given c.p.r. having been pulled from his car house and also says officer post did not immediately attend to right off to having shot him only off to backup arrived was anything done that was the 1st person there dragging my heart and doing anything

a historic contraction of them or 7 percent that really did set the stage for a massive rebound that we've seen this 18.3 percent there a very large figure was in line with what many economists were expecting now we have to look at this in terms of the context of china getting back to normal life last year we had to close some quite draconian measures to control 19 and because of that we saw this outbreak controlled relatively early compared to other countries for mig last year it started to make up for those losses economically and from september. we had kind of made up for those losses and continue to grow and so we actually soul in 2020 china's economy grew by 2.3 percent and it was the only major economy to do so so that's important but what is key to remember though china's economy economic growth has been robust it has been on even the loss of that is thanks in large part to a strong industrial sector a lot of these exports going to other countries especially those still affected by

lockdowns and also this state led infrastructure building and some moderate stimulus as well is to thank for that worth where we haven't seen as strong growth has been though in the retail consumption area retail consumption domestic spending that isn't up where it was pretend demick and that's because many analysts believe that people are still affected by this pandemic. daytime his board is all still closed and all those people have resumed normal life based on not able to travel and people are still worried their confidence has been affected and so they are keeping tight control of their savings not spending as much and because of this the chinese government does not expect this kind of growth to continue for the rest of the year indeed they're expecting it to taper off and achieve about the 6 percent growth target for the entire year 21 katrina thank you very much katrina are you there in shanghai in the sangin is a senior fellow at the center for international business ethics at the university of international business and economics he says china has attracted huge foreign

investment over the last 12 months china's intervention its stimulus was minuscule compared to what's been going on globally so i don't think there's a case to be made that china is the one that stimulating things into the unknown both europe and the us have so this idea that people are trying to do deals with beijing and actually the rhetoric is against beijing so this idea that somehow everyone's clamoring of the things you do see a tremendous amount of f.b.i. foreign direct investment coming in to try to you know but those are private companies these are not governments which are saying quite the opposite. u.s. president joe biden has signed off on sanctions against russia over primarily what is calling cyber attacks and other acts of hostility the kremlin has reacted by saying it will respond in kind of threat that followed a blanket denial as to by consensus there's still room for the 2 countries to work

together as a white house correspondent kimberly how could. they are some of the most punitive u.s. measures taken against russia in years today i've been through several steps including expulsion of several russian officials just days after a phone call between u.s. president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin to secure a u.s. desire for a predictable relationship the united states announces surprise russia's sanctions we cannot allow foreign power to interfere in our democratic process with impunity more than 30 russian entities are being targeted at least 10 russian diplomats will be expelled from the united states and some tech firms are being punished for allegedly providing support to russian intelligence the sanctions also put in place rules banning some financial dealings involving russia's sovereign debt to choke off lending and inflict economic harm we want to stable predictable relationship

and russia continues interfere with our democracy i'm prepared to take further actions to respond to. the white house says the sanctions are retaliation for russia's alleged aggressive actions including the occupation of crimea interference in u.s. presidential elections and last year solar winds hack that infiltrated the computers of thousands of u.s. businesses and government agencies. the sanctions also respond to unconfirmed intelligence alleging russia offered bounties as high as $100000.00 for killing u.s. soldiers in afghanistan intelligence officials haven't confirmed the russia bounty program still the white house. says we have course will not stand by and accept the targeting of our personnel by any elements including a foreign state actor this information really puts the burden on russia and the russian government to explain their engagement here the sanctions come just days

after u.s. intelligence identified russia as one of the most serious threats to the united states and officials warn that sanctions may not be the only retaliation suggesting clint destine actions may still be yet to come kimberly helped at al-jazeera the white house still to come on this program the former police officer accused of killing george floyd has chosen not to testify at the trial. and the chips but just how bad is the worldwide shortage of semiconductors. now for fairly quiet weather throughout the arabian peninsula the showers picking up again which means it will be not as humid in qatar as an example there be a bit more dust in the air brought down towards the u.a.e.

a multi-year cycle where the demand is really outstripping the supply the crunch is crushing the u.s. auto industry at the beginning of the pandemic demand plummeted and automakers cut back production drastically but they underestimated how quickly demand would rebound when they raced to put in more orders late last year they were turned down by chip makers committed to supplying other industries when those workers that cancelled it immediately got back filled by other areas of the market that actually stayed very robust recovery things like you know he sees in person like tronics all these anything work from home starting from home plate from home demanded an incredibly resilient intellect that immediately got back on the name of the auto guys came up at a back why recently general motors the largest u.s. automaker announced it would cut production even though demand is high if you look across the board i mean a shot a lot of factories are closed down shots for a lot of their popular crossovers as well so it's definitely hitting you know

hitting the market the u.s. leads the world in semiconductor design but manufacturing is heavily concentrated in taiwan south korea and japan recently president joe biden called for strengthening u.s. men. factory capacity as a matter of national economic security administration officials are meeting with leading chip manufacturers in the meantime are reaching out to our allies semiconductor companies and others in the supply chain to ramp up production tempus resolve the mom likes we face now increasing ship capacity will take time and it won't be cheap a single semiconductor plant can cost $20000000000.00 to construct robert oulds al-jazeera los angeles and the fates of the former minneapolis police officer derrick chauvin will soon lie in the hands of the jury his lawyers rested their case on thursday he chose not to testify and they're arguing show in should not be convicted in the george floyd murder trial john hendren has

a damning case with medical experts. in this case mr george george floyd died from a cardio pulmonary arrest. it was caused by low oxygen levels and those low oxygen levels were induced by the prone restraint and positional asphyxiation that he was subjected to then there was the police chief who finally jovan the day after he was seen for 9 minutes and 29 seconds kneeling on floyd until the life out of him that in no way shape or form is anything that. is by policy is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics are about these and there were emotional interviews i believe when a murder he showed like hollow to treat a mom in how to respect he he just he loved her so dearly it's been month i stayed. apologizing in.
