state of minneapolis where former police officer derek show vince the fence attorney has filed a motion requesting a new trial citing multiple grounds including jury misconduct. chauvin was convicted of 2nd and 3rd degree murder as well as manslaughter for the killing of george floyd let's go to mike hanna who joins us now from washington d.c. so mike what exactly are these multiple grounds including jury misconduct. well eric holder who is chauvinist lawyer has filed this with the minnesota district court he contends in this 4 page appeal to the court that there were multiple problems with the verdict in this particular case now among them is the fact that the judge in the case peter cahill declined to move the venue despite the attorney the publicist ted got in that particular area within minnesota

itself but he also makes very serious charges about jury misconduct now this appears to be connected to the fact that one of the jurors in the case has now reportedly to have attended a rally in washington d.c. back in august a george floyd. rally now this according to many legal experts is a critical issue the fact that a sitting juror did attend police protest and did not declare so on his jury form when he sat in this particular case so here we've got an issue with the attorney for derek chauvelin. multiple series of misconduct in terms of the trial this is while the judge is sitting contemplating sentences the sentencings due to come in a few weeks time on the 3 charges of which was convicted but now it's up to the

minneapolis district court to decide whether or not to proceed with this complaint or to investigate it further. mike considering how symbolic the death of george floyd was and its impact on race relations in the united states what kind of reaction has there been now to this motion of trial. well the motion has only been made public within probably the last 10 minutes certainly there isn't that much reaction. to be able to talk about at this particular point in time but the lawyers had all the case argued that there could be there was certainly going to be appeal that was always on the cards and legal experts had pointed out that there were problems with the judge's decision to carry on the trial within minneapolis the defense had been claiming that that would lead to a tainted juror pool and so this is not in a way surprising the fact that this is coming up now what is somewhat surprising

perhaps is the number of complaints that the attorney makes as i said it's a 4 page affidavit alleging jury misconduct alleging wrongdoing on the part of the judge not only in terms of not allowing the case to be moved but also in terms of his behavior according to the attorney during the trial itself so there are multiple issues here that have to be dissected and picked up but as you say this is such a high profile case and inflame so many emotions that any attempt to try and knock down this verdict is going to be met with the public concern and of course concern among those legal people who were involved in the decision to prosecute and the successful conclusion of that particular decision so we will hopefully get more details in the coming hour as i said this news has just broken within the last 1015

minutes but it is a very serious injunction that would appear as i said it's now in the hands of the district court to decide whether to proceed further with the content of this affidavit whether to investigate or whether to hold another hearing in terms of determining whether or not there has been a mistrial in this highly public case. i can now with the latest on that development from washington d.c. my thanks to you. will still to come here on al-jazeera political permutations in israel benjamin netanyahu offers last minute deals in a bid to hold on to power. once again we got more wet weather in the forecast to southern parts of australia yes

the night hours now since then emergency crews have been working they've brought in cranes to remove the wreckage from the area to clear this out but this entire area last night after that incident happened had been cleared out by authorities who had asked people to stay back fearing the possibility of a 2nd collapse now while we were here shortly after the accident happened we spoke to eyewitnesses we spoke to neighbors here who actually rushed into the scene before paramedics and emergency crews were able to arrive and they actually were helping to rescue people rescue survivors from that wreckage we've heard from political leaders throughout the course of the day the mexican president the mexican foreign minister who was mayor of the city at the time that this metro line was built we've heard from the current mayor saying that investigation is going to be forthcoming a transparent independent independent investigation but what's interesting today is the amount of of chatter on social media people posting photos from different parts

of the city claiming alleging different infrastructure failings in different parts of the city relating to the 12 lines of mexico's metro rail system we also know that since the events of last night of monday evening the unionized metro workers of mexico city we're talking about thousands of metro workers have threatened to go on strike saying that their concerns over the possible short comings and fail infrastructure failings in different parts of the metro rail system in the different parts of the city have not been adequately addressed by by authorities and the concern is that a strike by metro rail employees again we're talking somewhere around 8000 employees could severely impact the mobility of more than 4000000 people who use the metro rail system every single day this is one. of the busiest material systems on the planet. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has mandate to form a government has expired putting his political future in question at the now has been meeting opposition party leaders in an attempt to secure enough votes to form

a coalition he notified president groovin rivlin shortly before the midnight deadline that he could not assemble a ruling majority the president will now decide what to do next israel has gone through for inconclusive elections in the past 2 years harry false it has more now from west jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu has spent the last few hours of his mandate the period during which he's officially entitled to try to form a coalition government by making increasingly urgent you might say desperate appeals to fellow right wing party leader naftali bennett to rule out joining a so-called change bloc in the israeli parliament the knesset that wants to see an alternative government not featuring benjamin netanyahu and commit himself to forming a right wing coalition then you know has already offered bennett the opportunity to go 1st in a rotational prime minister arrangement if he agreed to such a deal however even if that happened there are real doubts that the 2 men could

form a coalition featuring the $61.00 knesset seats required for it to be a functioning stable government equally there are doubts that if bennett joined the change bloc there would be enough seats on that side either so now the next public decision belongs to the president of israel riven rivlin he has 3 days to decide whether to give the next mandate to who is the opposition leader and has the next highest number of seats in the knesset after netanyahu or give it to bennett or simply decide to throw it open to the knesset more generally that would mean a 3 week deadline to form a coalition government and if none resulted from that it would trigger an automatic 5th election all of this leaves that you know in the most endangered position he's been since the start of this 4 election 2 year political crisis however he is far from out of it even without the mandate he could try to maneuver behind the scenes

to try to get a coalition government that favored him he could try to obstruct anyone else from forming one potentially blaming them for leading israel to a 5th of the action and even if he were forced out and into opposition there's no guarantee that a government that would have to be made a very disparate elements would survive all that long so there would still be the prospect of another netanyahu come back. the french parliament has approved a new climate change bill that will prevent the airport expansions prohibit open air terrace heaters and reduce packaging waste president the man one mccraw is trying to slash greenhouse gas emissions ahead of a deadline in 2030 but as the passion of the reports environmental groups say it doesn't go far enough. the high speed train from paris to the western french city of non takes 2 and a half hours people can also fly between the 2 cities but that is set to change under french president emanuel mackerels new climate law some short internal
