12:20 am
studies. she joins me live from co. thanks very much for being with us. we're strong reaction, as we've heard there for including from the u. n. e u, the u. s. describing it to attempted to calling for leaders release. what can they achieve? do you think? what will they be able to do? well, at the very least, what we're seeing right now is another interruption of the political process. the transition process by mainly traction. this really feels i think right here and by my history repeating itself and quite then vendor is the normal course of this transition. then it is. it's just 9 months after the previous president was forced out by military fusion, as you say, what, what are the reasons behind it this time? well, there has been since the beginning of the transition, 9 months ago. there have been quite some strong tensions within the governments and
12:21 am
we've been really, really on the one side with the civilians and with the ministry forces. what we're seeing right now, i think, is the results of that. the result of these unresolved tensions which the, the pressure that the international community initially puts on, on monday to, to move towards a civilian transition, did not actually address that deeper issues in terms of governance, in terms of power sharing, in terms of pretty well beyond the facade really making sure that the power was resting with you in some placement. right now we do have the, the proof that it wasn't. so i mean, we had kind of go to say that the transition process would continue and the elections would be held in 2022 as plan. but what are the, what is the like? who do you think of those elections? actually go ahead. we'll see what, what happens, but it,
12:22 am
it does sound extremely ambitious. i mean, even before this interruption, it was really questionable whether the electric calendar that had been announced by the government would actually be realistic. what's happening about depending on counts 5 to 7 elections within a period of this month, and they can see where there was never such intensity in the past. in the country with alert, with large portions of the very 3 that are not accessible to to organize elections . where the security remains an issue where there is no election management body that's $2825.00. where there is no actual consensus really on the way these interactions should be managed. so even without the recent political developments that took place today and yesterday, it was already questionable whether these calendar could could hold. and i think
12:23 am
now it's a bit more and tell me you mentioned in boston that a security concerns how much of a problem is this coo and molly for the region as a whole. so this is always a bit difficult to say because these 2 as well as the, the, the one with which should face some 9 months ago. a really happening in by michael with the impacts and the rest of the country being quiet and are in the right control of, you know, the way in which the administration function and, and so on. so there is no clear elements really at this stage to to tell. however, one thing that we should keep in mind, i think, is the lesson from 9 years ago from 2012 where that previous who actually created an opportunity for violent felony groups to take advantage of the
12:24 am
confusion created by the who we've been governments to make inroads this is definitely something that remains a valid content today. owner la motor on the head of the program, the issue, the security study. thank you very much. indeed your time now thousands of civilians is fled their homes in ethiopia as t gray region around the town of axiom is a continuation of attacks on rural villages that began on friday. malcolm webb has more from the kenyan capital, nairobi who, according to multiple testimony that people we've spoken to in the last few hours, who are in the town of acts and many to say attacks began on friday in rural areas on villages attacks that many people say directed against civilians, they named the people who spoke to more than a 1000 villages all of them to the southwest of act. some people blame eritrea and troops. they say that this is displaced thousands of people. many of them have complained of indiscriminate shelling, other people that we've spoken to have reported that men and boys have been

may is the deadline by an original set for the police reform bill to be passed. the and today is an honor to meet with the president and the vice president for them to sort of concern. so our family and for them to actually give an ear to our concern as how we feel on the situation. i think it was a very great mean we're very appreciative and grateful. president vice president by the here research. i think that the meeting when we'll see so or concern i think generally you want to know is that how we were on, on what he could do to support us any day. let us know, days of course, based on the bill, but he wants to make sure that if the right build on that arrest view, he also said that he said that he's not happy about it not being made, but all the now he just wants to be able to be right, if you can make federal law to protect the bird, which just about ego, you can make but federal law to protect people. cullen. thomas,
12:35 am
obviously justice project director at the advancement project. national office and, and you the focus is on racial justice issues. he joins us by skype from century. thanks very much for being with us. so i'm just going back on to the, to the question of the george roy, justice and policing act deadline set or hope for deadline for present biden hasn't been passed. do you think it will eventually get through the senate? yes, i think it will get through the senate with some compromises. unfortunately, it will that will make it less effective, but i do think it will eventually be passed. yes. and so it includes things like can investigate police training binding. the use of tra, calls establishing a national database of police misconduct. what sort of things in there would make the biggest difference? well, unfortunately, none of those things you just mentioned would have saved george ford's life. i think it's unfortunate reconstructed bill that actually ads $750000000.00 to policing across the country. 15 to 20000000 people went out on the
12:36 am
streets last year with the demand di from the police. and this bill actually adds more money to it. there's nothing about this bill that would have prevented george boyd's murder. it wasn't because of lack of data. transparency wasn't because of a no not grade. was because it wasn't a database of national police misconduct. the chief of police in minneapolis knew very well the long history in 18 complaints against their children. when the chief of police sent their children to police low income communities of color, and george floyd was, was murdered by derek shogun, in spite of that knowledge. so there's nothing in here unfortunately, although it's a, it's symbolically important. and i think it might offer some cover to the families and other families of people who had someone killed by the police, but is alone, will do virtually nothing to prevent. the next kelley essentially mentioned in passing, that phase d d from the police room,
12:37 am
where people suggested that they should move funding from the police forces towards social services. but, but in one example, for instance, in los angeles, they did reduce the police budget, and now they're saying they've had a huge increase in the last year in violent crime. and they haven't the, nothing going to increase the police budget and re hi police officers. what does that example tell if anything, was that example tell us, and are there other things that need to be done? it is more of a priority to to try and so wallace. i think it's important to note that police do not actually prevent the violent crime what we call violent crime in america, by their own data. they spend about 7 percent of their time working on what we would characterize as violent crime. most of their time is spent on things like traffic ticket and responding to calls about local disturbances that can be handled in many other ways. they police the lives of people who are houseless him off angels. and most specifically, everything is clear to park of a community of people who are living alone by violence and force with the police
12:38 am
department, cleared them and try to get them in the housing and put up a fence around the park so that people can not live there in the community that they form. so i think it's a mis. i think a lot of people have the impression that police prevent violence from happening and nothing could be further from the truth. leasing in itself is not designed even to prevent crime. that's not their goal. the goal is to exert social control over communities of color and protect property. that's their primary goal in america, thomas. all right, thank you very much data for your thoughts. okay, thank you very much. house prices in the u. s. a soaring, leaving many low and middle income families priced out, and the situation has been made worse by fewer homes being built during the pandemic due to the shortage of building materials, mechanical reports from miami, in the final part of our series on the rising cost of housing, despite a deadly pandemic south florida is booming in miami businesses and the wealthy are relocating in droves attracted by lower taxes and sunny weather. that means
