past few hours laying flowers and lighting candles a makeshift official. celebrations of the have not been limited to minneapolis and new york washington d.c. and atlanta al those have rallied in support of demanding justice for the of on on black people killed by police and recent is recently me was that one rally in new york. where demonstrators have been gathering in the plaza behind me since the verdict was announced this location where i'm at brooklyn in the heart of new york city has been a centerpiece of the black lives matter movement demonstrators have come here often in the last year in fact you may recall that after george floyd was killed protests in new york city became almost a daily occurrence in all 5 boroughs of the city demonstrators gathering for rallies like this for talks chanting the name of george floyd and other people who have died at the hands of police new york itself has

a long history of tense relations between the minority community and police officers as well so people here gathering expressing their feelings of relief i would say this is being seen as a victory but only a 1st step as we just heard a lot of the people i spoke to tonight not all of them support abolishing the police i've heard views on both sides of that matter but they all agree that the issues that have been raised by this trial have only begun to be addressed in the way they feel that there's more work to be done and there's talk about about that among the people gathered here tonight. we've also heard from a long time civil rights activist al sharpton about the fight for justice for those killed at the hands of police. this is the 1st time in the history of the state that a white police officer has been convicted last known convicted of a murder. this is the 1st time in a long range of fights that we've seen 3 counts guilty of all

since george floyd's killing an additional $800.00 people have been killed by the police in the united states 265 people have been killed since january alone and so all of that is to say while tonight it's good one down 1000000 more to go tonight it is just one chapter in this ongoing story it is ongoing struggle against the epidemic of police violence in the united states so it keeps happening because we live in a country in the united states rooted on the principles of white supremacist policing it really is that simple. it could it could easily change if we had the will to change but many americans don't have the will to change we have this good this bad apple good apples theory of policing that doesn't really take into account that the system of policing as it relates to black americans has failed and so what we need to do in this moment is have a serious conversation about reworking that system and developing something new in

the interests of a real public safety discourse because right now black people in the united states don't feel safe under the current system of policing and so it has to change and indeed test says that that it was being announced police shot and killed a black teenager in ohio writes s is a must in columbus expressing outrage over her death but also rallies body count footage showing the officers shooting the girl as she appeared to try to step to people with a knife that comes as less as an independent investigation into the girl's killing is underway. as look at some other news that. chad's military has promised an 18 month transition to free elections after the death of president . the army says he was killed while visiting soldiers who were fighting rebels in the north that he had just won re-election and son general will take on the role of interim head of state trappings all pouring in from western allies following debbie's death and it could have wide implications for security across the. chad as

chad for security purposes. then that would disrupt at least in the short term france's and the broader g. 5. counterterrorism efforts in there and those reports remain a threat of further deterioration of security in charge could trigger the withdrawal of its troops from regional to bolster security at home this will in turn leave many countries in the saddle and lake chad regions more vulnerable to the charge and troops there played a significant role in stopping armed groups from overrunning many communities. chod a country with a history of coups civil war and tribal conflict is battling various rebel groups the latest being the one in which president lost his life the group was until a year ago based in libya and was fighting alongside mess in a race on the how do you have to ironically one of the reasons that they're coming back into chad right now is because of the peace agreement that was forged under
