you he may not be here. but we won it was shelved and expressionless in court who was on trial but it was floyd who became a symbol of racial justice for black americans who felt targeted and abused by police for generations we always maintained the moral high ground knowing that we were on the right side of history. the verdict resonated in the white house where president joe biden called floyd's family we hadn't seen since the civil rights era in the sixty's protests that unified people of every race and generation in peace and with purpose to say enough is enough enough of the senseless killings today. today's verdict is a step forward the legal system had to operate behind barricades manned by national

guard troops in a city that border that business is in closed schools in anticipation of a ruling that ended months of demonstrations with celebration. the case that began with a fake $20.00 bill and ended with a nationwide movement might have gone unnoticed if it hadn't been for a viral video taken by a 17 year old girl is excruciating to watch as it was to re watch over and over again throughout the trial of a man treated with dignity speaking his final words at the. crowds of man the streets of minneapolis and the nation since floyd died on may 25th as they leave the courthouse square he insists the movement will continue john hendren al jazeera minneapolis. and these live pictures from minneapolis is the scene outside the store where troy that was killed people have been turning up

in the past few hours laying. the makeshift. well from the scene of the crime to the u.s. capitol crowds a promise to keep up the fight for racial equality she had her tongue same reports from minneapolis. huddled around baffin's outside the courthouse the news spread among the crowds of the found guilty on all 3 counts there was a lation but no illusion among many of those gathered. are satisfied with just this is just one step too i'm so glad. it's been way too. and. i'm glad. i'm a private eye. there was disbelief but also belief that the

evidence of george lloyd's murder was incontrovertibly. at the site of his death an area now named george floyd square emotions were particularly roll in other cities similar scenes maters in atlanta. and. in new york satisfaction at what the black lives not a movement has achieved despite the naysayers all the folks who were nonbelievers for the last 5 years they came out into the streets for what was right and they got a victory we should make no mistake with the protest as we've been hearing from do not agree with the prosecution case 3 heard that this was not the minneapolis police department on trial what we keep on hearing from them is it is the minneapolis police department not only that it's the police departments across the country that were on trial and this verdict may have brought relief at justice finally served but there was also the recognition that the law would not bring

george floyd back she had. but. that rally in new york. well 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 the 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. you heard williams as professor of history at the university has some thomas in minnesota and he says the verdict is a significant step in the right direction bob war needs to be done. i think a degree of relief but all an overwhelming relief that the right verdict was reached by the security but also deep concern that people will assume that the work of dismantling systemic racism and racial disparity here in the in this country is going to end with this verdict and we're far from not some people who are focused nearly an issue of policing it certainly is a referendum on that because there's been so many cases in the past where officers

were not held accountable for violence against black or brown people people like adam toledo the young young men 13 year old in chicago who was recently killed or gone say ray who was killed here brooklyn center or george floyd of course would have gone unrecognized in those offices unpunished right now we look at this moment i think there are some real momentum around the justice we've got to work floyd out and some other legislation that's circulating at the state and local level to deal with this issue but the problem is policing is simply the tip of the iceberg as we saw in the case of dante great on last week it's also bad law 'd and that policy which leads to over leasing which makes communities of color color of black or brown people more more vulnerable 'd that to this type of violence so this over policing which is part and parcel of a much larger issue here in states. major

hospitals in india's capital new delhi a warning they will run out of oxygen in less than 24 hours india's health system is battling as the country reports almost 300000 new cases and more than 2000 deaths both record numbers deputy health minister says without urgent supplies the state faces a disaster. urging people to stay home where possible. is a problem it is live for us now in new delhi and there appear to be facing a very serious situation. it has been getting serious the situation with the hospitals with a critical shortages of beds of oxygen supply of ventilators in a number of states but on tuesday night we had a number of hospitals in india's capital delhi saying that they only had a few hours of oxygen left this is why don't these leaders have been pleading with

the central government including appealing to them on social media to send them oxygen supply we have a number of hospitals trying desperately to procure oxygen through private supply as delhi's high court has asked the central government to look into the shortage of supply it's describing the situation in the capital with the health care capacity as being at the stage of imminent collapse now the reason why we are seeing these shortages is because of the number of cases of the number of people being hospitalized as cases vies the way that they are india's 2nd wave is in comparable to the 1st if you see the number of infections in the 1st wave on the chart it is very much a curve that went top and came down the 2nd wave so far as a vertical line going up the charts leading to so many more hospitalizations and more people needing oxygen and which is why the government's decided on sunday to

restrict oxygen supply to just 9 industries to divert it for medical use and prohibited from going into other sectors at the moment and live in the situation being as it is the death toll so high rules are seeing kraemer turin's struggling to cope. in a number of places we are seeing long lines of families waiting to cremate their dead or bury their dead at crematorium and also a burial grounds we're also starting to see the kramatorsk him using areas other than people run incriminatory rather using any free space they have to cremate bodies it's why the state of maharashtra has decided not to which is the worst affected state but the state of karnataka has decided to free up some public land to cremate bodies we have reports from the states of madhya pradesh and also

of a number of states with those 2 are the most notable with official death toll just doesn't add up to the number of bodies which are being cremated predatory arms and some of those states are saying that they. cremating 5 times the number of people which they were last year and again with the cases rising as they are record numbers of cases and deaths we have a lot more restrictions coming into place in many parts of the country delhi is under a very strict curfew the worst affected state is considering a complete lockdown they're going to make that announcement on wednesday night or whether or not they choose to do so but it looks very lucky that they will because they haven't been able to bring the numbers drawn seem less harsh restrictions which were in place promised and that ended in what he did address the nation on tuesday and he said that the country is facing a storm but that the nation wide lockdown like the one last year would be the last option very grim situation indeed thank you for bringing us all the latest from

globally the year was 2006 they couldn't have known then they would spend the next 15 years with a divided government and no chance to elect a new one. that isn't about 15 years without an election and we're facing a miserable situation as a mother i wish it will happen and things change for the better. an election for the palestinian legislative council is scheduled for may but already there is widespread expectation palestinians won't be rushing to a polling station headed into had that could not that would have one of these elections only for a new in the legitimacy of palestinian leaders and to continue to rely on foreign aid but in the long term it will not serve the palestinian people israel has yet to approve voting in east jerusalem but how has splintered and broke 5 and how lost are worried about losses in their own bases due to disaffected voters.

professor of a high morale boost says recent polls show hamas would be lucky to get 25 percent of the vote in gaza but it might be able to get a bigger share in the west bank where people are fed up with the palestinian authority but maybe after the elections we might see a new or different kind of coalitions but that would probably be against the will of the international community which is still classifying hamas as a terrorist organization and also is one which doesn't want to see a mass in any form of a palestinian government so united or unified government between hamas and fatah is unlikely how must spokesman. says the organization is pushing for the election to take place as scheduled and that palestinians are primarily frustrated by the israeli occupation not their leaders. it was about and i know the world and the

international community should help us choose our leader and to take our rights back we should be living in a good situation like all the human beings in this region. a generation of palestinians has come of age living with a divided government and no way of changing it at the ballot box the question people are asking is will this year mark a long overdue change which the talks are going to al-jazeera. with al-jazeera things our top stories and u.s. jury has found police officer and guilty on all 3 charges including 2nd degree murder over the death of george floyd shamanist changed the sentence and 8 weeks' time in faces up to 40 years in prison. minneapolis avanza keep up their fights and
