night of protest in elizabeth city as andrew brown's attorneys released the results of the independent autopsy that confirmed he was shot in the head while attempting to drive away this infer. was a fatal wall to the back of mr brown as he was leaving the site trying to evade being shot at. buddies were tickler law enforcement officers who we believe did nothing but a straight out execution it's obvious he was trying to get away that's obvious and they go shoot him in the back to hear that man not right that's not right oh my there's also anger and frustration that the police only agreed to release 20 seconds of edited body cam video that showed the killing law enforcement intentionally edit the edited the video to 30 seconds to 22nd 20 seconds and intentionally blurred out the office and the gun and guns and showed us what they

wanted to show us the f.b.i. has announced it has opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting and this week a judge will rule that the entire 30 off the incident should be released publicly this unio tape is not going to get better with age and you know i think public safety and decency and morality and transparency demands that the police begin to be forthcoming. a nighttime curfew has been put in place but this is not stop to lose a bit city residents from continuing to express their anger at yet another police shooting mike hanna al-jazeera washington. the biden administration is opening new shelters for unaccompanied children who've crossed the us mexico border and is spending about $60000000.00 a week for they the aim is to every night the children with their parents rob reynolds reports on one new shelter in southern california that sought is receiving

child migrants. in the city of long beach just south of los angeles a sprawling convention center has been transformed into a shelter for up to 1000 migrant children seeking asylum in the united states inside there are toys games recreation facilities and school classes all meant to provide humane care and lessen the trauma children feel after making the long dangerous journey to the u.s. border the mission of this center here in long beach is quick family reunification the reifications should be done as fast as possible and we also know that the space that we are in is temporary. it is incredibly important that in this moment we treat every single child with compassion with kindness and with love the bike did ministration has been under intense political pressure

to deal effectively with the large numbers of unaccompanied children mostly from central america crossing the border the numbers have leveled off from a peak of around $20000.00 miners in custody in march but officials are pushing hard for the children to be released to their parents or other family quickly immigrant rights advocates were allowed to examine the facilities what we saw with this center is that number one when they will walk in and all have a sense of welcome to reunite with their child parents must show documentation and give a d.n.a. sample after release the child will have a hearing scheduled on their application for asylum most of those parents are also on documented but the biden ministration pledges it will drop target them for deportation if they come forward to claim their children that's in sharp contrast with the previous administration's attitude toward migrant families on during the

trumpet ministration the policy of that administration was if parents came forward and they were undocumented maybe a week quite 2 weeks later immigration authorities would be at their doorstep so that created a great level of anxiety and then advocates say ultimately developmental aid to impoverished central american countries and an overhaul of u.s. immigration laws are the keys to stabilizing the situation so that in the future no child should have to cross the border alone rob reynolds 0 at long beach california . a u.s. military ship has fired warning shots at any rainy and naval vessel in the persian gulf. washington says the boats came within 62 meters of the u.s.s. firebolt it comes as talks continue on bringing the u.s. and tehran back into the 2015 nuclear deal trita parsi is executive vice president

at the quincy institute in washington he thinks minor military confrontations will have little impact on those negotiations are fortunate this is a pattern that we have seen in the past when tensions between the united states and iran have heightened things like this have occurred what the real risk here is that because of a lack of communications channels between the united states and iran an incident like this could escalate out of control precisely because it's who sides are not talking but we've also seen a pattern in which this tends to take place as the 2 sides are getting closer towards some form of an agreement and though progress has been slow it does appear as if returns it is a c.p.a. it is within reach within the next couple of weeks as a result of the discussions taking place in vienna but what i think we've seen so far is that the. talks in vienna seem to be quite well insulated from the whole set of different incidents not only this but we also see in how these really is

conducted an attack inside the iranian nuclear program we've seen numerous attacks by israelis against iranian ships and a few attacks by the iranians against the israelis and none of these seem to have managed to derail the talks because i think at the end of day the political will on both sides is sufficiently strong to get to an agreement and as a result they won't allow these things to become obstacles saudia arabia says it's intercepted a boat packed with explosives off its red sea coast after unconfirmed reports by security friends of an attack in the area say run media say the remote controlled vessel was targeting the saudi port of yandell and offense ministry says the boat was destroyed but gave no evidence it follows a series of attacks on shipping in the region. the palestinians are due to hold their 1st elections in 15 years next month but al-jazeera has learned that president mahmoud abbas will delay the long awaited vote citing israeli restrictions in the occupied east in occupied east jerusalem despite israel saying

it's not interfering with the ballot and as harry fossett reports candidates have been struggling to counter skepticism from voters. in occupied east jerusalem this is defined as palestinian political activity the kind that can result in a wrecked and in recent days has put on this day there are new israeli security forces to be seen no crowd either just 10 prospective candidates for the palestinian legislative council trying to infuse a population that hasn't voted for 15 years and doesn't expect to now it's all or ought to convince them and to be with them to bring them. to a new hope for a new is a city which is always very certain i hope so yes i hope so. but if residents of occupied east jerusalem have a shared such hope it's been fast evaporating what elections sorry i'm asking what elections are you talking about when you are excited about respecting. because i

know there is a there is an unknown yeah i can expect that. to tell you the truth i mean a paradox between going to elections as opposed to show that i'm not. with the state with my people to go to the election of that i believe that it's a it's a mess it's a game for the on the political level that they might cancel it in 2006 elections did take place in occupied east jerusalem as in gaza and the west bank is right allowing the voting on the last minute u.s. pressure now the palestinian authority has reportedly given israel a deadline of thursday to answer its demand for a similar guarantee and israeli official told us that so. israel had given no response and the whole without jerusalem and without the participation of our people in the city of jerusalem without the ability to campaign as in other areas in the occupied palestinian territories there will be no elections al-jazeera

understands that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has already decided to postpone the polls with the official announcement to come at a factional meeting on thursday one thing we heard again and again on the streets of east jerusalem was that if the palestinian authority wanted to hold an election it shouldn't allow an israeli know let alone the sheer lack of an israeli response be the reason not to do so the suspicion being expressed is that the real reason is internal and political the palestinian are could newspaper reports of the decision to postpone followed intense pressure from the united states and arab countries concerned about the consequences of a strong result for the armed group hamas which controls gaza rather than a democratic renewal most know of betting on another round of behind the scenes horsetrading between palestinian factions a chance to vote put off once more indefinitely are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem the united states is ordering its

nonessential embassy staff out of afghanistan as the military steps up the withdrawal of its troops in iraq the u.s. special representative for afghanistan is our man highs that has been testifying before a senate committee about the pullout the world has changed since 2001 that terror threat including from up high that is now geographically dispersed in africa the middle east and asia we now face new urgent challenges as the president has said we must fight the battles for the next 20 years not the last 20. allan fisher has more from washington. some are concerned others think it is a very bad idea you remember there was just april the 14th when joe biden unknowns that all u.s. troops would be out of afghanistan by september that will mark 20 years since they moved in after the attacks on 911 here in the united states in new york and

washington though the trump administration had already said it was intending to pull all the troops out by me that timeline has been pushed back by joe biden why talks continue brokered by the khatami's with the taliban and other representatives of the afghan government certainly we heard from bob menendez who is the chairman a democrat on the foreign relations committee he said that he was worried that there was still some form of antiterrorism operation available to the united states in the area people have been talking about possibly setting up some sort of forward base in india he also said it was important that they didn't take their eyes off afghanistan after the withdrawal of course many people believe that after the russians left the u.s. stopped funding the fighters there they didn't want to pay any attention and certainly no put any more money into afghanistan and that red led to the rise of the taliban and subsequently the rise of a some of bin laden from james ray should is the republican leader on the committee he said that this was simply a mistake that he thought in

a few months time the taliban would be strong militarily and they would move into kabul overthrowing the government there and the u.s. would have another problem right in the middle of the place that caused them so much difficulty 20 years ago so new just just in and the u.s. geological survey says is strong earthquake has struck northeast india the manager's 6 tremor in this state. near a town in the destroyed it damaged buildings and sent many residents running out of their homes. when joe biden became u.s. president they were hopes of improving strained relations with china but 100 days into his presidency ties are as far as ever adrian brown reports monk when senior u.s. and chinese officials met in alaska last month their encounter matched the freezing temperatures outside the u.s. was in no position to lecture china top diplomat young. the united states does not

have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to china from a position of strength u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken has been equally blunt our relationship with china will be competitive what should be. collaborative wanted candy and adversarial when it must be there had been hopes that under president joe biden the relationship would be less confrontational that it had become under his pete assessor biden and chinese president xi jinping met many times when the 2 vice presidents analysts say that biden's china strategy is based on a stronger alliance with allies i think he's done a very good job at messaging. which is to say to the chinese that the the old rules of the past were apply anymore. and and they've been very tactically astute economic diplomatic and even military tensions between the 2 rival superpowers are

continuing to rise relations are fraught on a number of issues the south china sea dispute the well documented evidence of human rights abuses in shin jiang china's tightening controls here in hong kong and taiwan the nearby island republic over with china claim sovereignty. and biden has lowered expectations of a breakthrough on another friction point with china north korea washington places denuclearization of north korea and its top of its priority list with respect to pyongyang that's not the case for beijing beijing is more interested in stability yet in one area at least there's a promise of cooperation at a virtual summit this week china and the u.s. the world's 2 biggest carbon emitters pledged to work more closely on cutting their emissions a rare display of collaboration but one unlikely to be repeated.
