since the dawn here is set for the next phase of filling it down on the blue nile july on i'll just eat up. there are some of the media stories a critical look at the global news media on audi 0. government shut off access to social media. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm rob madison, and this is the news on life from dell hawk coming up in the next 60 minutes facing decades in prison. the former police officer derek sylvan, is to be sentenced for the murder of george floyd. more than a 150 people are unaccounted for us to collapse with god. whether humphrey search and rescue happens. a warning from the tunnel and after the us he says it'll keep

650 troops in afghanistan at all times over russia. you leaders meet for a 2nd day after rejecting a proposal. my funds in germany for talks with president vladimir putin. ah, it's 1800 g m t. that's 1 pm in the u. s. city of minneapolis where a former police officer, doug sullivan, is due to be sentenced shortly for the murder of george floyd. the video of silva and kneeling on floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes sparked worldwide protests last year against racism and police brutality. john hansen is outside the court in minneapolis. john, we remember the scenes that were happening in minneapolis when this case 1st came to court. talk us through what the atmosphere is like in the city now.

but the atmosphere is definitely tense. the attorneys for the family of george floyd, who was killed in the incident for which derek jovan is charged. they say the family is very apprehensive and anxious about this verdict, and we do expect some family members to speak inside of that court house. it's still unknown whether derrick showed himself will speak, the judge will give him an opportunity to do so. but he still faces federal charges for violating the civil rights of george floyd. and therefore, anything he says here could incriminate him in that case. and for that reason, some legal experts, i don't think the children will have the opportunity to speak, we put together a little scene center on what is happening in this case. please take a look more than a year after the death of george lloyd minneapolis is still rebuilding

a past 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 show vin 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, prosecutor se shelven deserves the maximum penalty for actions that in their words traumatized, mister floyd's 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 to begin with the viral video of floyd's arrest and ended with children's conviction on all counts in between with a devastating prosecution, a defiant defense, and some powerful, sometimes tearful witnesses. leave me. at some point, did you make a 911 call. that is correct. the car police on a boat. and why did you do that? because i believe our witness. a murder is been night. i stayed up apologizing in the pallet 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? yes. that's the normal response. the sentence judge peter k, he'll hands down comes with weighty consequences for shogun, the city where floyd died and the civil rights movement. his death accelerated with l. b. aggravating. circumstances are exacerbating circumstances that the judge says do apply in this case says and guidelines call for a sentence of 10 years and 8 months to 15 years. but those exacerbating circumstances increase the amount the maximum time the direct jovan could get is 40 years. it's unlikely legal analysts say that he'll get that much. they say something more in line with 20 to 30 years is what they would expect him to get in this instance. now 2 brothers and a nephew of george floyd will be speaking here. we, again,

we don't know if shogun will speak, but to give you an idea of the impact this has on his life. he's now 45 years old. now if he got the 30 year sentence of the prosecution is acting, asking for he is expected to under minnesota law, to serve 2 thirds of that and get the rest in probation time after he is released. so by the time he got out of prison, if he were to get that 30 year sentence, he would be 65 years old. john, thanks very much. indeed. obviously we're going to be coming back to talk to you when the hearing begins. but for now, john hendrick and miss are to thank you very much indeed. ok, let's take a closer look at the events that led to george floyd's death in minneapolis last year at around 8 pm local time. on may 25th, a shop worker called 911 and reported floyd to the police saying he used a fake $20.00 bill to buy a packet of cigarettes. 2 officers arrived about 8 minutes later and they arrested floyd. video appears to show a struggle between floyd and the police. one of the officers derek shelven pressed

his knee against floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. so i said multiple times, he could not breathe. it was take the hospital, it was pronounced dead about an hour later, death spot protest across the united states and led to a global outcry about racism and police brutality. when mary frances berry is a professor of american thought and history at the university of pennsylvania, she's also the former chair of the us commission on civil rights. and she's joining us now from new york. and thank you very much indeed for being with us. what do you think the supporters of black lives matter supporters of the floyd family would regard as justice in the sentencing of this case? well there, there is more ed stay than the actual sentence that children will get. everyone hopes that he will be punished to the full extent of the law and it looks

like in minnesota that if you get something like 12 and a half and 15 years, that would be about what one would expect and not parole. and time served. that is, attorney is asking for which is ridiculous or even the 30 day 30 years that the prosecutor is asking for. but somewhere in the range of say, 121518 years. but the most crucial thing that those of us in movement and concerned about police killing people have to look at is how the battle to get police reform has stalled. as soon as the case was over, the conviction was at hand, and there was a sigh of relief and people thought george floyd act and our congress would pass. and we would get the money put into social services and all kinds things to help

police. and there was great you for you about what would happen. but what we see now is that starting with the president, that any of us you supported on down to the cities, there's more concerned about violence and whether the police are supportive enough has become part of the debate. so what happens here is not just about derrick shogun and the civil rights trials to come up. and the trials of the 3 people, the other 3 police officer officers. but what is at stake here is whether we're going to get back on track with some kind of police reform, remembering the images in this case or not. and so if the sentence turned out today to be a weak one, where seen that way, by reformers then it would upset the path to reform even more. so we have to hope for somewhere in the range of $1218.00 up to 30 years

as the proper penalty here. how would you see the movements like black lives matter, keeping the momentum going a fair if there is a sense that it is not sensible to rely on politicians, on lawyers, on legislatures, i should say, in order to make these changes quickly enough. where can the momentum be built at ground level to keep this as high profile as it has been because of the george floyd case? that's an excellent question. in fact, of the protest movement would have to be re energized both in the united states and around the world in places where people are looking for reform. the protest movement backed off during our elections and has not really has been, as we enter jazz because there was hope that was a change in the administration in washington. the bad in fact, we get

a president and ministration to support this police reform. but in other incidents and other kinds of things, for example, the most important thing is a lot of people confuse punishing people who kill other people. what are their gang or other folks and should be punished with police when they kill people? the distinction is bad while we might kill each other. no one should think that police were you hired to keep water. and to protect people should be the ones. there's a difference there, so we can't complain the 2. so bad movement will need to be re energized in order to get police report. but what happens here in this court whether george shelven they were showing a speaks, which would be important if he spoke and said, i'm sorry, i shouldn't done that. that would help. but movement forward form because you've got a guy who did what was wrong. but i think it's going to take people mobilizing

around the country in the world in order to get the kind of police reform that folks have been seeking. mary farms was very, i know you're going to be staying with us as the hearing begins, we're going to be obviously talking to you to get your reaction as things progress . but for now, thank you very much indeed for being with us on all jazeera. thank you. thank you very much. well, the hunt is continuing for 159 people still unaccounted for a day after an apartment building collapse in the us. at least 4 people are dead, but that number is expected to rise as rescue was searched through the rubble in miami in florida, it's unclear what caused the 40 year old building to come down. but officials said was undergoing roof construction and other repairs. 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, seen from above and below. and we also brought heavy machinery onto the site to assist with the operation. ok, let's go to cutting headed, who's covering this story from close to that collapse, building in miami kareem where we're just hearing there about heavy machinery that's been moved into move large chunks of the rubble. the if i understand correctly, the search itself for people who might be buried under the rubble is painstaking. there are groups of rescuers of searchers who are basically picking apart sections of the rubble to try to find people just talk us through what's been going on. that's absolutely right. i mean, it's been a painstaking process to say the least, the fire and rescue workers here are really battling the elements. i mean,

they have flooding at the bottom of the building. we've had rain on and off for the last couple of days. we just had a massive rain shower a short while ago. they're only added to the problem. so they're babbling the water from below and from above. you might see over my shoulder right now, we've seen fire teams putting out fires, you know, with you mentioned this heavy machinery that have been brought in. and if they clear out this rubble, it shifts around and sparks fires. and that, that's obviously another problem that they're dealing with. but i want us to remember the victims here because we have more than 150 people who are still unaccounted for and not far away from where i'm standing just a few blocks. there's a family reunification center where, where families, friends of loved ones are desperate for any news to find out if they're okay or not . and many of these family and friends are overseas. they're in latin america. they're in countries like venezuela, paraguay, argentina,

they're in israel. we have a large orthodox jewish community here in surfside. and special visa have been arranged for these people to be able to come to the us and follow up on their, their loved ones. and as we were talking earlier about the weather, you can only imagine all this, this moisture that they're dealing with and all the rubble is making it that much harder to identify bodies. so those family members at the unification center have been asked to present d, n. a samples because that should help facilitate the process carrying we've been talking earlier about possible causes for this. and as we've been discussing, it is far too early to, to get any sort of sense about what might have caused. so i want to talk to you about the impact that this is had on the community. because people there must have known people in that building. they could have had relatives in that building. you were talking there about the unification center that was put together. give us an idea if you can of just have what kind of a impact this is hard on the people living there.

i mean, it's just shocked. people are worried for, for their family, for their friends, for the business associates. they've been calling. they haven't been been able to hear back from them. there's. there's just a sense of panic and confusion over at that family reunification center that i mentioned. and we talked about this a little bit on, on thursday, but this is where it just stepped away from miami beach. here we are blocks away from, from the 4 seasons hotel from the home of ivana. trump and jerry cushion are who are running go home, not far away from here. this is a very desirable place to live. there is not much supply in terms of homes. there were apartments in this building listed before it collapsed for close to half a $1000000.00. but i wanted to remind you how many people have been left homeless as a result of this and officials have been doing there has been 3

ho, tell reservations made. so people who, who have lost their homes have some place to rest their head. and one more thing to remember, there's a big part of this building that remains somewhat intact, but the residents have been evacuated and there is talk that this whole building might need to be demolished. and that causes a lot of questions and gives rise to a lot of concerns for the housing market here in south florida. and for people living here and looking to live here, cover him talking to us from miami, close to that building, that part of which has collapsed korean. thank you very much. indeed. the united states is going to keep around $650.00 of its troops in afghanistan after the rest of his forces are withdrawn. most of the more than 4000 us soldiers have been leaving. i'm gonna stand in recent months, as part of a pledge by president joe biden to withdraw troops by september, the 11th,

and an exclusive interview with all just as a summer binge of aid taliban spokesman. so shocking said of us to, to do remain. it'll be in breach of previous agreements. this us troop station, 650 of their stay behind. are the taliban going to attack us troops now? yes or no. if they stay here, then i think it is a kind kind of continuation off the patient and that they have why lated and a we have a fully right to jacked. well, are you a secretary of state antony blank and acknowledge the attacks and off con forces were increasing and that washington is assessing if plans for peace are realistic. we're looking very carefully at the situation on the ground in afghanistan. and we're also looking very hard at whether the taliban is at all

serious about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. we can you to be engaged on the diplomacy, but actions that would try to take the, the country by force or of course totally inconsistent with finding a peaceful resolution ahead in the news already included a deadly tornado sweeps through several villages in the czech republic, killing 5 and leaving a trail of destruction and a blood test that can detect more than 50 types of counts so much earlier, including ones that are difficult to dive those items for the formula. one driver who find themselves in an unexpected span. it's not here without story. ah, us vice president, common harris says the bible administration is making progress tactfully a migration spike. she's in texas on our 1st visit to the border with mexico since

taking office for rob ronald's in el paso, in texas for us. robert, what is the intention behind this trip? well, there are several, i think there, there's a, there's a effort to show that vice president harris who has been passed by president biden with the really unenviable task of trying to sort out the immigration. and border situation is, you know, on the spot inspecting and visiting and talking to people here on the board or she hasn't done that as vice president. yet. she did visit the facility on the border patrol, which you can see behind me. spoke to staff there inspected some technology upgrades, then went to a, a border crossing point, one of the largest crossing points in the,

on the us border where she spoke to again, more visual. she also spoke at one point to some children from central america who had brought into the, into the united states, and we're being held in care. so there's that. and then there's the politics, which the vice president has herself emphasized that el paso was the place where back in 2017. the trump administration's family separation policy, which caused so much controversy and criticism of children being taken away from their parents and not being properly track so they could be re unified that that started here. so she's trying to draw a comparison, the favorable comparison, obviously between those harsher policies under president trump. and the more you

may and policies as the by to administration would describe that that, that they have. however, there's a lot of pushback from republicans in the united in the u. s. congress in texas as well about the situation at the border. they say that the by the ministration was unprepared for the surge of people coming up from central america. primarily that they bundle, the situation, the white house response that things are getting better, but it's still something of a political sort point and opportunity for republicans to heavily criticize the, by the ministration. as a matter of fact, former president donald trump, who during his one term in office, bade the border and immigration, one of the center pieces of his presidency, is due to visit the border somewhere here in texas. probably not el paso but, but probably down on the rio grande, somewhere further down within

a couple of days so that it will keep the border issue alive and keep the pressure on the white house. but thanks very much indeed has rob reynolds bringing this up to date from el paso in texas. a study is found that a blood test to detect more than 50 types of cancer is accurate enough to be used by doctors that was developed by the use company grail. and they live specifically for chemicals that leak from tumors into the bloodstream. they can identify cancer's that difficult to diagnose in the early stages like head and neck, ovarian and pancreatic scientists find the test correctly detected counselors in 51.5 percent of cases. often before any signs or symptoms appeared. if they finding counselors alley is one of the strongest ways of beating the disease, and they say the test could have a profound impact. dr. eric klein is chairman of the glickman, your logical and kidney institute at cleveland clinic. and 1st offer on research is

optimistic about what the test means for the future cancer treatment. this is a whole new way of screening for cancer. currently we screen for individual cancer like prostate breast colon cancer. this would allow screening for multiple cancers in a single drop. currently, i understand that group has made it available just in the united states or, and out of pocket cost of $949.00. but eventually i could see it being used worldwide. this test will not find ever cancer. on the other hand, the value here is that it will find a lot of cancer's for which we have no screening currently. so it will find a lot of cancer. so we don't find now head neck, pancreatic ovarian. those are cancer is that generally presented advanced stages when patients are symptomatic and the burden of cures high, the amount of treatment needed as high and the courage not very good. so if you look across the entire cancer spectrum is true for virtually every cancer, the sooner you detect, if you earlier, you detect it the easier it is to cure,

the more likely it is to be curable. so this test will detect many more cancers than are currently detected. now at earlier stages, and the hope is that that will translate into better survival. rescue workers in the czech republic, searching for survivors after tornado and storms damaged buildings and overturned cars in the southeast. at least 3 people, a dead and hundreds have been injured or a burden. manley reports a place of sanctuary among buildings destroyed by a red native. it was filmed by eye witnesses before it hit towns and villages in the southeast of the check. all of our belongings are scattered everywhere. the tornado smashed all the windows and took everything. many people clearing what used to be ruth, from the front patios of their homes, somewhat completely ripped off to send to send. so it was like

a war zone. everything was spinning around and flying and there it took our roof away. okay. could be open. so we'd be done. the house of the roof is missing. the windows are broken. water got inside. that's nothing and we can't live there. now. experts say the tornado reached wind speeds of more than 330 kilometers an hour, making it the most powerful on record to hit the central european nation was what's called the for another model. minimal. and if we live in the air of global warming, and one condition for tornadoes like this is hot and humid air, these conditions here are very common nowadays. the police have couldn't of entire streets. and soldiers have been deployed to help with the clean up with support from the czech republic neighbors, austria and slovakia. tell me the trees were falling down, roads were blocked. i can't go home. many people living here have lost their homes and some their lives. now emergency teams are working to find those still trapped

laur about and then the outer serum china is approved, a government reshuffle in hong kong. and what critics say will further tighten beijing security cracked on on the territory. police chief chris time will become security secretary, while his predecessor john lee, has been promoted to chief secretary. is the 1st person from a pleasing background to assume the office since hong kong was handed over to china in 1997. to be fair to john lee, he has been in a government for almost 4 decades and security bureau is perhaps one of the biggest in terms of significance in terms of the number of civil servants. and it's so position. so one could not say that as a secretary for security, for many years, his experience is limited. the vehicle pollen is in hong kong, and she says both men play significant roles and cracking dunc on pro democracy

protests. and then new appointments have raised fears about freedom and 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 carry labs 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 prose democracy protestors who were on the street in 2019 john leave was tough to shutting down, those processed and seen as a hard liner. it was also on his war to the national security law came into place

and, and under a year, more than a 100 people had been arrested under that law. what's all to significance is that chris time, 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 fate. and all this is happening in the run up to july 1st, which is not only the anniversary of the hands over, but also mark the 1st year of the national security law. and more significantly marks the celebrations of a 100 years of the chinese communist party. and the occupied was buying the funeral possession has been held for an outspoken critic of palestinian president mahmoud abbas hundreds of mourners gathered in hebron and many calling on the boss to resign it by not died on thursday after being arrested. and beacon by palestinian authority security forces stephanie decker has more from the funeral inhabitant and

the occupies west. i can tell you that people here are incredibly angry at the palestinian authority. you'll probably see some of the men in the crowd with guns. the people telling us that basically they're now calling the downfall of the regime . these are chance they've also been calling for as they carried the body through the streets of hebron to the cemetery. here for president mahmoud abbas to go. he's been in charge for a very long time in developing an authority, the cancellation of election to cancel 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 publishing authority.
