and even before the u.s. that has an account vaccine will be provided outside the united states the f.d.a. has to to get the the ok from the f.d.a. to do that so if the is an independent agency that you know sent this that doctors and physicians make the decision so that would be the best approach to it which is really that right that i point at this point the hold up is that related to the timing i think that once the citizen it had finished and then we had also started to eat about some of the same. and various events in europe that gave us a pause and trying to understand exactly what's going on think secondly there is the nature of the protocol you know the clinical trial with us has in it that there are some few mishaps there and i think the f.d.a.

where attorney general merrick garland has announced an investigation into the louisville police department in the state of kentucky law enforcement there is face scrutiny over last year's killing of briana taylor a black woman shot during a botched raid on her home it is the 2nd such investigation ordered in the past week as a similar program into the minneapolis police following the 4 officer derek showgrounds guilty verdict for the murder of george floyd's. the investigation will assess whether l m p d engages in a pattern or practice of using an regie reasonable force including with respect to people involved in peaceful expressive activities it will determine whether l m p d n gauges in unconstitutional stops searches and seizures as well as whether the department unlawfully execute search warrants private homes. it will also assess whether l m p d engages in discriminatory conduct on the basis of race more from rob reynolds in

los angeles. this is what's called a pattern and practice investigation and has it much as as that phrase sounds it will look into whether the louisville police department has a history of abusive or on lawful practices whether police have been singling out residents there for harris men or process or. stops on the street or other types of police activity on the basis of their race and whether there was any accountability for any police officers who may have done wrong and of course whether whether this was a case of racial bias last week america garland the attorney general announced a probe into minneapolis police just after former officer derrick

chauvin was convicted of murder in the killing of george floyd last may there is a separate civil rights criminal civil rights investigation underway into the brianna taylor death that will not be affected by this larger probe into the city and the police department i think that from what america arlen said it looks like a focus will be on the practice of executing these so-called no knock warrants and what happened in the case of briana taylor was that the police did not really announce themselves they burst into her home and had guns drawn and. did not really identify themselves according to some witnesses. turkey's president's responded to the u.s. decision to label the mass killing of armenians as genocide as massacres in $1015.00 happen in the final years of the ottoman empire project typer one says the us is manipulating

i'm going to say is that the 1st military operation in syria was against isis to clear its border from isis and the following 2 major operations were against it why p.g. which is the p.k. case optional 30 says that it has lost 40000 obvious isn't in the fight against the people here and us is supported to take it is becoming a national security threat well i can say that the turks american relations went through obs and downs several times through the but these 2 countries knew how to manage their relations badly he's a peach also stressed that he's going to meet president biden face to face in in the nato summit during jury during the nato summit in june and he's going to convene his masters and concerns to biden face to face as well ukraine's president valda means a landscape says he expects to meet russia's vladimir putin certain tension between the 2 nations been escalating in recent weeks and russia closing access to the

refused to do you know the developments the ukrainian president told the financial times newspaper that he was looking for western support in order to potentially change the minsk to agreement this agreement was signed in 2015 it is a series of proposals that have failed to establish a last thing cease fire and of course a permanent political solution to the conflict in eastern ukraine reacting to this interview that it may putin's spokesman dmitri peskov said that it was a another alarming signal from ukraine he said that it would be impossible to modify means to without putting an end to it so perhaps another sign that these recent tensions between russia and ukraine and all soviet. israeli security forces have clashed once again with palestinians at the damascus gate in occupied east jerusalem police of been stopping palestinians from gathering on the steps after prayers and confrontations have been taking place there for the past 2 weeks since
