and mexico's worst train accident in decades raises questions about the safety of one of the world's busiest metro systems. we begin in the u.s. where former minneapolis police officer derek shelvin is asking for a new trial citing multiple grounds including jury misconduct last month chauvin was convicted of 2nd and 3rd degree murder as well as manslaughter for the killing of george floyd a white police officer was kneeling on the unarmed black man's neck for more than 9 minutes during an arrest last may george for it stephanie to huge protests around the world mike hanna is in washington d.c. he says multiple grounds have been cited in the appeal. this motion was not at all an expected in fact it had been predicted that there would be an attempt by the defense to declare

a mistrial in this particular case and the 4 page protest from the defense team basically hones in on 3 important issues one it criticizes the judge for failing to change the venue of the trial saying that it led to a tainted jury pool secondly it complains about the public around the case and thirdly in the main points that the defense makes the judge fail to sequester the jury for the entirety of the trial making them open to public comment or public issues on the better that they were adjudicating on so those are the main points that are brought up in the. proclamation made to the district court of minneapolis the defense also contends that there was jury misconduct in that the jury felt intimidated says the complaint it also maintains that the jury did not

fully consider the instructions given to it by the judge in terms of defining between the 3 various charges that were laid against eric show been but at the same time the complaint alleges that the judge himself did not correctly brief the jury in terms of the procedures and in terms of the specific charges that were brought before the court so it is a multiple series of complaints which has now been submitted to the minneapolis district court it's now up to the court to decide where to go from here mary moriarty is a former public defender and minneapolis in minneapolis and currently teaches at the university of minnesota law school and she has more on what the appeal means. almost all of the grounds have already been raised throughout the trial some multiple times and so there really isn't a lot new there one thing that is new is they are alleging juror misconduct and that is very vague in fact the defense asked the judge for more time to develop

the points that they've made here because some of them are so vague they're hard to know what they are it's the civically referring to but one of the reasons are bringing up misconduct is because one of the jurors has been giving interviews publicly and had talked about going he actually hadn't talked about it did participate in a march in washington d.c. in august and when he was asked on the questionnaire whether he had participated specific lee in any protests over police brutality he said no so that may be one of the grounds although i don't think that has any merit either but this is a standard motion that defense lawyers would typically make after a conviction at trial and having news india's opposition is counting on prime minister narendra modi to impose a national law down this is after the number of corona virus cases in the country past 20000000 half of those were in the past 4 months alone the government says new

infections are beginning to spill but testing has also dropped elizabeth ronna may for some new delhi. for the past few weeks in the indian capital funeral pyres have been burning day and night and around the country mass cremations have become the norm are going to have a raid going to about. 5 to 7 hours before getting a chance to cremate the bodies the bodies aren't even being cremated properly because they're all. performing the ritual even though the bodies are being cremated quickly there's still a long queue of ambulances carrying bodies of 19 victims outside the crematorium and he is recent surge of the virus has seen the official death toll climb above 200000 though the actual number is thought to be much higher the government has faced criticism for not preparing for a 2nd wave and allowing large political and religious gatherings to go ahead ignoring the basic precautions of looting mosques and social distancing and as

people die from a lack of hospital beds and oxygen there's anger at the government for continuing its expensive project to build a new parliament and prime minister's residence we're in new delhi where there was a very strict lockdown in place and only essential services are allowed but the construction of the government's multi-billion dollar rebuild of the central city is going ahead despite objections from opposition parties and activists architect. is one of many people who filed petitions against the project last year saying it was unnecessary expensive and violated all environmental regulations. insensitive to. rush you know. i don't think that there should be a. medical experts say the government's entire focus should be on getting the

pandemic under control i've been speaking to some senior policymakers. and many of them have a mental model that this will all turn around and that's. what i have been trying to say to them that really goes very well things will be horrible for the next several weeks. international aid has been arriving in india for nearly a week but 6 states including delhi said they get to receive any of it a children's hospital in the capital of the latest to say it only has a few hours of oxygen left elizabeth pran of al-jazeera new delhi syrian state media say the country said defenses have intercepted an israeli attack on several north western areas including the coastal city of latakia a series of explosions were heard along the mediterranean coast israel has recently his targets inside syria where iranian backed fighters are based israeli forces of

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 that 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. in colombia 5 more deaths have been reported as protests against present government continue anger over tax hikes has now turned into a wider movement against the president's performance the united nations and
