a proposal by from germany for talks with president, person facing decades in prison. former police off the derek show than is to be sentenced for the matter of george flowing and china approves a government reshuffle in hong kong. and what critics say will only felt the tightened asian grit on the territory. and i'm far as small have all the days ford, including and think of vonnie was on target for your why is they feel their spot in the copa america quarter final ah well we begin this news out with the latest developments out of miami where at least 159 people are still unaccounted for a day after 12 story building their collapsed. at least 4 people have now died in the collapse, but it's expected that that tow will rise as rescue teams continue to search through the rubble. it's still unclear what caused the 40 year old building to come

down, but local official say it was undergoing some roof construction and other repair. i want to be very clear about the numbers. are there very fluid? i will continue to update you as, as we have them. but we have confirmed for deaths. the search and rescue team worked throughout the night. and it was a very active scene from above and below. and we also brought heavy machinery onto the site to assist with the operation. well, let's now speak to kareem her dad. he's close to that collapse building for us in miami and kareem. it does look like there are still dozens of crews there. how is such a rescue going right now? well, i think with, with great difficulty, the cruise we're working through the night. we've had bad weather here since yesterday morning when we were 1st reporting from the scene. and we just had

a massive down for just a short while ago. it only lasted about 5 minutes or so, but it was pretty intense. and i'm, i'm sure that, that hampered the work of the search and rescue teams. as you know, they're working all through the night and they, they pulled out 3 more bodies from the rubble. and that's why the death toll is now up to up to 4. there's still 159 people who are unaccounted for. that means we don't know if they're necessarily missing if they were in the building, but the building management and coordination with, with, with volunteers and people who know this from the building. i have compiled a list of those who they're, they're trying to find. and actually on my way over here, i was speaking with someone who is very concerned for one of her clients. she, she does some cosmetic work at people's homes and she knows that the person that she was supposed to be working for today is unfortunate. we missing and she has no

idea where she is. i'm sure lots of people in that same position kareem i was looking at some of the images collapse and it really looks like an enormous amount of trouble. do we still not yet have any really clear indication of what caused this unfortunately, we don't have a clear indication just yet. yesterday, when officials were asked about this in a press conference, the mayor started talking about it probably being a question of the structural engineer. again, the engineers are on site trying to assess the situation. but right now the focus very much remains on search and rescue. and fire emergency services are the ones in charge of the scene and they are still looking for survivors. they're confident that they will find them. and that's why they're there on seeing their and as soon as those search and rescue efforts are over. 1 police will take over the investigation into, into what happened. korea had there with all the laser for once

again talk about i was going to talk a little bit more about you are asking me questions of what possible causes resonance had also been complaining about large scale construction at the building next door. if you can see this is the bill being right here, the champlain tower that collapsed immediately behind me and immediately next to it . you have a much larger building, which is technically in miami beach and they were doing construction. people had planned about their apartments shaking and they're also complaints about just a building not being found and concerns from residents, including maybe the daughter of the owner that it might collapse one day. i'm sure we'll be getting lots more answers in the coming days. lots of questions still to be answered, cream had out there with all the nations for us, from miami. thank you. kareem. when our meeting on and divisions within the european union have been laid back as a 2nd day of

a lead us summit and brussels. after a very long night of debates, they rejected a proposal from germany and france to hold the summit with russia, poland, and some both countries said it would send the wrong message. we are right now in a negative spiral, and we need to brace for further downturn. so we agreed to push back. when russia targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to constrain russia, when it attempts to undermine our interests. and we will engage russia when it is in our interest to do so to achieve our goals. for example, if we talk about climate change, or if we talk about public health or german chancellor anglo merkel insisted that dialogue with putin should be possible. and the other avenues will be explored. she's been seeking a less confrontational line on russia, along with french president emmanuel macro. and now he's admitted that disagreements on russia and l. g. b t writes, and countries like hungary and poland. evidence of an east vasquez west split

within the european union. well, let's get more and all of this from the tax butler's. she's keeping on things forth from paris. natasha to this role, the content just fast today. all leave is now finding any common ground on day to while the summons actually wrapped up now, and it's clear at the end of it, there were some, there was some resolution when it came to russia. that all still divisions in terms of opinion because getting into the summit, the german chancellor and the french president both made it very clear that they believed that there was space to open dialogue with russia on issues of common interests. and they were actually calling for an e, you, russia summits inspired perhaps by the events of last week in which the u. s. president joe biden met vladimir putin in geneva. however, that really went down badly with all the you leaders who said that until russia did

more and it's human rights record to respond, respected ukraine sovereignty, then there was no space for the use to be reaching out, rolling out the red carpet for moscow. so what we heard at the end was the head to the commission, saying that leaders had agreed that perhaps it isn't the right time for something like an e, russia summit, that that's too soon. nevertheless, the door is not being closed on dialogue in the future on certain issues of common interest, including iran, nuclear deal, for example, or climate change. one of the main points though, it's really come out to the summit, which is one of the, one of the more interesting ones for me to use some it because there was a bit of motion, a bit of emotion attached to it was the fact that so many leaders ended up making a real point of supporting l g t b 2 rides. now this is come a found because because hungry has recently passed a controversial law which is seen by many as discriminatory. it was something which

wasn't meant to be on the you agenda, but it was put on it or the last minute use you leaders running around saying that it was absolutely unacceptable that hungary discriminate against people because of ethics relative because of gender. some very emotional please word we gather from you leaders, tears in their eyes. for example, when the leader of luxembourg, only openly gay, you leader stood up and talked about how hard it had been. came as a child and he looked at think so. and really pleaded with him to consider the feelings of others. the commission leader lavonne delay and said that in the you, it is part of the values that we really respect. everybody, no matter who they love, she said the message was very clear to fix the old on a letter is being sent to him to put a past to reconsider his position. it was so many of us so then dominated by russia with some emotion overrides, but also it was a, some,

it's the hubs. the last one for the german chancellor anglo merkel will soon be a stepping down. she's always been seen as a pillar of the european union. natasha. that there was all the nicest for us from that meeting from parents. thank you so much, natasha. well, let's now bring in letting me a thought because he's a political scientist at the russia academy of sciences and specializes on russia foreign affairs. he joins us now from moscow. got to me, i'm curious, how is the criminal viewing all of this peter net with biden? what message does he not want to send to europe? i actually, i did. so that's because that was a divide in the european union. all was the possible meeting between russian president fucking fortune and the leaders of european union and actually york called i was saying of all human rights record. but i don't think that this is much of the noise because i think that the main thing is not just the idea go that

i was listening to them with them. you a battleship in the to sort of what the solution for the ration i think that's probably weighs, influence that much of the position of the european union just being another thing . we hear here in moscow the same story which is going all more again. you just tried to get back to your human records. you just the position yourself with your attitude towards the plane. anything like that, but this is not when you actual this is not great if you in that well as even also hearing from my crown, he's pointing out these deepening divisions right between both sides of europe, the east and the west. is it perhaps then an opportunity from oscar? i think this is going to somewhat so some kind of the right picture. this is probably about unity, but i think that they're probably we were still here in moscow. the expectations

that the also the much the dice, high level meeting actually sunny between what the fortune and the american president by them that will be more opportunity send possibilities to cooperate. not only will not stay with the european union with the west and general, but unfortunately after this incident with brittany battle ship, we see that probably not a lot of western countries are very much sincerely interested in having the better relations with the with the russian federation. i don't know, i don't know whether it will continue, but i think that as for our position, we don't want to make a big fuss about that because we still hope that there will be some kind of caution

mon reach that in the coming months. i want, it's interesting you say that because the way this all went down in brussels turned out to be a bit of an embarrassment for both macro and merkel. and they haven't really given an explanation for their desire for this self to approach. so what is the person's relationship like with those 2 leaders, especially those escalating tensions we've been seeing with the u. k. for instance? well actually if i, if i, if i got your i to put in actually i sincerely tries to have good relations with the european countries. and you just mentioned the position of some eastern european countries. you know that, that i, it seems to me that it is just a kind of these are god of russian interest in these regards of what rushes inclined to do in the near future. that's one thing. another thing i think that's probably probably probably as you set about the rebuke,

actually off germany, germany and french leaders and all the possible some european union leaders with, with actually what i, i think that russia is not trying actually is not trying to use it divides in its favor, it's trying actually to restore the relationship in the fall, especially in the business in the comic area. so we will have to see what goes next . actually, very interesting, nevada may suddenly cause a political scientist at the russian academy of sciences. thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us here on out there. thank you. thank you. thank you. are all about when i'm moving on and time is running out to iran to return to a nuclear deal. that's the latest warning from the us and france. both countries are also concerns that iran could make sensitive atomic advances and step up uranium enrichment as this time drag on us secretary of state antony blank and says

tear on new government must make concessions. in order to advance talks in vienna, we still have serious differences with iran, with regard to return to mutual compliance with the, with the j. c. feel way our teams are going back for 7th round of indirect negotiations in the, in the coming days. we'll see if we can bridge the differences, but they are real and we have to, we have to be able to bridge them. i would tell you that with regard to the k, this remains serious concern, a concern that we communicated to, to iran, and it needs to be, needs to be resolved. now, former u. s. police officer derek shows and convicted of the matter of george floyd is due to be sentenced later on friday. john henderson is in minneapolis where residents are now bracing for a decision that could have implications about security on the black lives matter

movement. more than a year after the death of george floyd, minneapolis is still rebuilding a path of destruction still lies in the wake of the flaming riots that followed the killing of a black man beneath the police officers ne on friday officer. derrick, jovan will be sentenced for floyd's murder. the judge is already ruled that shelven is guilty of aggravating circumstances, acting with particular cruelty in front of children under the power of his authority as a cop and is part of a group. leaving legal analysts expecting a stiff sentence, i think the judge is probably going to depart upward, give him a greater sentence than what our guidelines call for. and given the defense motion and the aggravating factors, i think it's, it's probable that he will go close to 30 years. prosecutors, they show ven, deserves the maximum penalty for actions that in their words traumatized, mister floyds, family. the bystanders who watched mister floyd di and the community and his

conduct shot the nation's conscience. despite those stern words his lawyer is asking for probation. the murder trial watched around the world, began with the viral video of floyd's arrest and ended with children's conviction. on all counts in between was a devastating prosecution, a defiant defense, and some powerful, sometimes tearful witnesses. i didn't leave him at some point. did you make a 911 call that is correct. the quarter police on a boat. and why did you do that? because i believe i witness a murder. it's been night asked data apologizing and power to sort of for if we're not doing more, i felt that derek show was justified was acting with objective reasonableness

ah, i will invoke my 5th amendment privilege today. guilty, guilty, guilty in the streets of minneapolis, minnesota. and brace for the response. many hoping you won't repeat the violence, summer of 2020 the city over and down. of course. really. yeah. that's the normal response. the sentence judge peter k, he'll hands down comes with waiting consequences for shogun, the city where floyd died and the civil rights movement, his death accelerate. john hindering al jazeera minneapolis was still plenty more had the news hour including palestinians hold a funeral for me up on up an outspoken critic of present markwood, a 1000000 struggle to put food on the table in india as inflation stores with rising food and fuel prices and in for the clip is bounce back in their n b, a playoff series against the funds for those details. coming up later, this new

go. he's been in charge for a very long time in the policy and authority. the cancellation of elections, counseled those in april elections hasn't been held here for 15 years. this is one of the main criticisms that the people here and also the activists that was killed the, his response to when those elections were cancelled was to call on the european union stop funding to the palestinian authority saying they were corrupt. think that the leadership had to go, that fresh elections had to be held. so this is a sense, really from everyone we have been speaking to. you can probably, selina, can you get those? i know probably, you know, a lot of our men now we're looking among the crowds. this is a sensitive people. they say we are under a double occupation. it's the privacy authority. they accused of being hand in hand with israel speaking to an elderly gentleman. he said, you know, this is the 1st time in my life that i actually see our own security forces coming into a palestinian home and beating someone to death because they don't agree with our

policies. i mean on and china has approved government re shuffle and hong kong and what critics say will further tyson beijing security crack. down on the territory, police chief, chris tangle, become the new security secretary. well, predecessor, john lee has been promoted to chief secretary. he's the 1st person from a policing background to assume that office since hong kong was handed over to china, back in 1997. the vehicle harlan is in hong kong for us and she says both men played significant rolls and cracking down on pro democracy protests. and then new appointments have raised fears about freedom in the territory. not to put this into context, the chief secretary is akin to the position of vice president, the united states power structure like the vice president there are appointed and not elected that the right hand person of the leader in this case of kerry lab. and they usually stay out the term of the chief executive, but kerry lamb still has another year to go in her term, which is what makes the timing of this so unusual. donnelly is

a former police officer and he now becomes the 1st chief of security to become chief secretary, the outgoing chief secretary, matthew john was seen as sympathetic to the protest movement and the pro democracy protestors who were on the street in 2019. john lee was tough to shutting down those processed and seen as a hard liner. it was also on his watch to the national security law came into place and, and under a year or more than a 100 people had been arrested under that law. what's all to significance is that chris tang, the former chief of police, who was instrumental to shutting down. the protest is now taking over from john lee as chief of security. they are concerned that this re shuffle indicates that hong kong, once china's pre a city now becomes a police state. and all this is happening in the run up to july 1st, which is not only the anniversary of the hands over,
