the 1st edition correction for a period of $27020.00. some of the have years seems to me in the guidelines. i seem to be just not the right should never be a witness. ah . the headlines on al jazeera, former u. s. police officer jerry jovan has been sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for the murder of george floyd. the 46 year old died off to children, knelt on his neck for 9 and a half minutes lost. your judge peter k. hill says jovan abuse his power while in

a position of trust and authority. and sentence for one the court committee to the cause of the commission of corrections for a period of 270 months as to $70.00. that is, that tenure addition to the presumptive sentence of $150.00 bombs. this is based on your abuse of a position of trust in authority. and also the particular cruelty shown to george floyd. your granted credit for $199.00 days already served. george floyd family has welcome the sentence. they say that it brings the us one step closer to healing. but they also say the case is exceptional, and they accuse the police of killing black people without consequence. day after day, year after year he was president, has met his gun counterpart ghani, as us troops prepared to leave. i'm gonna stop after 20 years of war gone. he said he respected joe biden decision that the partnership between the countries is

entering a new phase. afghans are going to decide their future what they, what they want, what they want, but it won't be for lack of us. being helped in a sense of violence has to stop, but it's going to be very difficult. but we're going to stick with you and we'll do our best to see to and you have a helicopter carrying colombian presidents, i've under k, has come under fire near the border with venezuela to case us. several gunshots were fired, while he and members of his cabinet were flying over the counter tomb region. no one was injured. there's been no claim of responsibility, but several armed groups operate in the area to k said the attack wouldn't deter him fighting drug trafficking, terrorism, and organized crime. those are the headlines on al jazeera. the stream is coming up next. thanks for watching bye. for now. ton of almost $100.00 anniversary of the

founding of the communist party with president segan king leading celebration. but it comes at a time when relations with the west on the increasing strain. and the g 7 countries looking for countless chinese growing engine around the world. follow all the detailed analysis on. i'll just use i am for me. okay. bringing me the bonus edition of the stream. i like to think of it as the directors caught of never before seen conversations and must see again, tv coming up on take you behind the scenes of a recent stream episode about israel and palestine done by system on filter commentary. and what does american power look like? in his book, sorry, for the war journalist and photographer peter van mill. she has 2 decades of photograph documenting the impact of the u. s. military at home and abroad. be sure to stay until the very end of the pieces pictures

a striking net start an update on the delta variance of covered 19. it has been detected in more than 80 countries and it continues to mutate as it spreads. he's the world health organizations, dr. maria van co have with more this delta variant is a dangerous variance. this far as covey to virus and it's natural form. it's in its ancestral form. it's dangerous to begin with. and any variant that has mutations or a constellation of mutation that has increased christmas ability, that has the possibility of causing increased rates of hospitalization. we don't yet have any indication of increased severity, but increased transmission means that more people can be infected quicker. and if you have systems that are overwhelmed to begin with and you have more cases that are coming that are needing a hospital bed, your health care system which is already overburdened, is going to be even further overburden. and that can lead to more death that can lead to many more problems that societies are facing. so this is

a dangerous virus to begin with and i'm more transmissible. one makes our control measures that much more challenging. and that's what we're worried about. we're worried about 18 months into a pandemic. the world is exhausted. i'm exhausted, you're exhausting what it's like. we're running a marathon and a full sprint on uneven terrain, through a very dark tunnel. and now we have these twists and turns, and it's something that we expect because the more the virus circulates, the more has a chance to mutate. so this is convergent evolution. this is what is expected. but this makes our job all of us because every single one of us around the world has a role to play that much harder. but we can still do this. we can still in this if it's a delta vary, that means that way for variance that we know of all the others out there, dot maria that we should be concerned about. you said that if it's a natural part of a, of a virus, it's going to be more we might even run out to greet that who knows?

we will, we will probably run out of the greek alphabet, but we will have more letters that will be there. but keep in mind, these are, there are for variance of concern. the alpha beta gamma delta delta vary in the one that's most concerning right now because it has even more, it's more transmissible than the alpha variant that be 117. we have 6 or 7 variance of interest that we are tracking at the global level. some of these variance of interest may become variance of concern, which means they have demonstrated increase the verity or trans miss ability. but some of them may fall off of our list. we may follow them for some time and they may turn out to be not as i hate to use the word concerning because they're also turning. but we have a global system in place. this is what we want people to know about out there is that as the virus changes, we're working with scientists all over the world. all. and i mean all over the world, not just in high income countries, but high and low income countries to track the variance, to improve genetic sequencing. so that we have better eyes and ears about which

mutations are out there. what is out there. and we have a system in place to assess these mutations. not all of them are important. some of them do not, you know, can for any next to the virus. so that it, it transmits more easily and some are quite detrimental to the virus itself. and they die out. now we have a global system in place to track them and then to inform our public health and social measures, our vaccines, our diagnostics, and the good news is our public health and social measures work at individual level measures. our i p. c. measures our diagnostics, work, our vaccines, work against even the delta variance, but we do need few people to get the full dose. if your vaccine that you are offer gives you 2 doses. get that 2nd dose. but we vac, and around the world, we do not have vaccines reaching those who are most in need. less than one percent of low income countries have had people vaccinated and that is just appalling. and

so we're working on that through our kovacs partners to be able to increase that, but we need to vaccinate those who are most at risk people of older age, people with underlying condition. and most importantly, our frontline workers, people who are out there that are carrying for sick individuals, putting themselves on the line. so there's a lot to do. there's an enormous amount today. dr. maria's and cut has from the w h . i the same housing checking in regularly. all news from israel palestine gets further up the cream angel bora and had so much to say that i called the station continue to joan. after the live show had ended, i want you to know what fuels their passion to keep covering a story that's long, complicated, i'm paying 40, how? i think everybody has a natural instinct to reject unfairness and inequality and injustice. and this is a blatant case that not a lot of people know about and i feel like the more you get the word out, the more you're going to get solid there already building with an oppressed people and i feel

a personal responsibility to do this work given the fact that i know so much about it to make sure that people understand what's actually unfolding. and honestly, there are many promising signs right now in terms of shifting discourse, the number of celebrities who are speaking out and support a palestinian things are clearly changing. and i think that's an incredibly inspiring moment for us to keep the pressure on to hopefully eventually get to a point where palestinians can enjoy human rights until for you, what case you're on the story. you've been doing this for years. well, i sort of feel it says such an important human story. i see that there are these 2 people. one has been pushed out by another who was pushed up by somebody else. and why? why should they be fighting each other? and why should they be sort of more understanding? and that to me i'm not, is really, i'm not palestinian, i'm not an arab to mead sort of been like in an important subject to talk about in the region. because there's also a very divisive issue in the region. and just i think one of the most human stories to be told fatima follow it feels me as the

question i keep asking myself, how is what anybody is doing and making things any better. i keep asking myself, how is what i'm doing, making things any better. and i keep telling stories that i observe on daily basis . so this is a natural instinct. i call much better. but it's also it's also a game changer when it comes to stories of people who are being locked out of their homes, locked out of their lambs and not being able to, to live where they want to live on this. if i can add something to that real quick, just i think there is also for the united people living in the united states that i think there is the added moral responsibility to object, to the fact that our government makes is really apartheid possible. israel would not be able to carry on with this occupation without the massive american funding that it receives. and that's our tax dollars for people who are living in the

united states. we are paying for this. and i think that there is a moral responsibility to demand that our money is not spent in that way. and i think that that's a huge motivating factor for people who understand the situation on the ground. and who are living in this unfortunate reality, where our government makes israel crimes against palestinians possible and denies palestinians their basic freedom. i'm going to be honest here as we cover the israel palestine on the stream, often regularly. and i was surprised by the video that i paid you earlier, the settling because i've never seen anything quite so blatant before. i want to play a little click and without the filter, i would love to all to respond to the little clip. i'm going to play, so let's go back to this promotional video for a settlement that is even illegal in israel for it to be here. have a look. listen, he's not just building a community. he's still just the blushing. the answer to the

text from garza, from from the north objection to the very fact the jews established such a beautiful state. not only do we stand strong, we are building here, and we will build many more communities all over the area of you there and some area in all of them to happen. ok, it's, it just shows that history is different depending on who's telling the story. phantom of what do you see when you see that i see is rarely politics playing into how how mainstream fessler approaches inside israel. this is the result of a toothless international community israeli cutler violence and shuffler supplement expansion. colonialism basically going on and on on punished for years. but now

even in an illegal outpost, that is not even set up for you back before eviction is going to be a story about dismantling human lives. is similar to what is happening and check out or in one. but if you, if i may, this is a relative short history compared to the history of people who have been living in, in their homes for, for years and for, for decades. this is a situation where the israeli government will have to, to answer to the question of how important it is for bennett. nathan. yeah. whole, lockheed, or anybody else who comes in office to answer to the effect statler at institutions that has become part of the state. before i let you go,

there's one thing i would really love you to tell me and this is from your individual perspective. what should we be looking out for in the news? as far as israel and palestine are concerned, what are you seeing that maybe you are not saying in the news? but it's a story that you feel is going to be very important at some point this year. oh my, you go 1st. it's hard to pick just one thing. i think, you know, just honestly, i mean watching the video that you just played. all i can think of is george orwell . and i listen to it and i almost hear wars, peace, freedom of slavery and ignorance of strength. it's really remarkable that land theft can be portrayed or something to really celebrate as an achievement. and that's only possible when palestinians are dehumanized to this extent. and really we're stuck with the situation in which until israel views palestinians as equal human beings. we're not going to see this issue from the mentally change, and we're only set to a new cycle in which we're going to see more violence, more death, more oppression. and this is just perpetual until something really fundamentally

changes. so i imagine that the explosions and shifts that are likely going to make the new sometime later the summer. i think the is really just the system is simply waiting for the right opportunity to push forward for it. because ultimately, the so called justice system in israel is ultimately a legal system for an apartheid state in which the law says that the right to self determination is unique to the jewish people. and in which is really, jews are privileged over palestinian and that's effectively the system that we're looking at. and i think it's, you know, it's really an ugly reality until what headlines you really should be looking out for. well, universe, a quick, quick response to the clip you played because i mean that is so it's hard breaking because there is really state is brainwashing its own people and not telling them that this is actually somebody else's land. somebody else lives here. this is someone else's home, so you know, it's a double tragedy in my view. i think the headlines we go to look out for the 1st is reconstruction. how is that going to be rebuild? if you remember off to the devastation caused during the 2014 gotten caught clashes,

many homes have not been revolted right now. i think israel is sort of holding gaza reconstruction as a cod in its pocket and saying, and demanding many things off of palestinians before they can lead to reconstruction. and so that's the 1st thing. second, i would agree with omar is going to be shake, java. i think a bennett government would eventually go through, shake the evictions in general and they're going to sort of justified on the is really low when you in many ways is a discriminatory or reflective offer. systematic discrimination against palestinians is not every day that we cover a story that could have come straight out of a james bond film. when form a c, i. a officer mart, palmer helpless appeared on the stream. we talked about how adversary's, as he called them, were trying to home him, mot retired 2 years ago after you came down with a mysterious illness during

a mission in moscow. you can watch the full interview online at stream the out 0 dot com. now, what i'm going to share with you here is privileged information never before seen on tv. after the ball call, smart told me a few stories for me. 2016. korea in the ca. you has a new book out called clarity in crisis leadership lessons from a cia bought. how do you get to tell the c i a secrets without landing in trouble? there is a very kind of, you know, formal process. so, so what i did is i wrote my book and then i put it for the ca, for a clearance process through what they call their publication review board. so you know, what is what is really impressive is how much they actually allow. and i'm grateful for that because, you know, the book is certainly talks about leadership, but it also gives a window into all the leadership lessons like talk about, you know, always happy as operational stories that i think a lot of people are going to find. super interesting and compelling was not

a lot of officers who come out and tell stories like this. so, you know, totally, totally endorse. not endorse, totally cleared by the da. so they're not going to come after me and ultimately look the book of a love affair toward the agency. it's really interesting because while they didn't treat me very well in terms of the medical needs, i had it stolen institution and i feel is absolutely. ready critical for us national security and was part of my identity for 26 years. and so, you know, i think that i think people will really find it interesting. i'm really excited about the book. tell us one story as a team. well, i have so many so many amazing stories, but one of the, one of the principals like talk about is something called family values. and in principle, in which, you know, in order to leave, you know, teams, especially small teams, you have to get everyone to buy into each other to believe in each other. so i tell a story, you know, i, you know, i come back from award zone, actually with an iraq. and i was, i was receiving a very prominent intelligence metal and award for some of the things i had done

there. and, and my father was invited to the ceremony and you know, obviously my last name probably me up with my father creek to an important reason. so we have the greatest feelings about about the ca, because of what, you know, the role of the c i in supporting the content and then a long time ago. but nonetheless, this is, this was a feeling to see, i director at the time of george kennedy who spoke fluent greek. and so i asked that you're kind of to take my data aside and he did so before the ceremony and just spoke together, you know, in greek and, and i came back and i asked my father, i said, what are the director said he and he just said he was in his eyes and he said nothing. and then i, when i saw the director kind of later on i said, what did you tell my dad? he said, i told him you are a hero. and so, you know, it was an extraordinary moment for me, you know, in my family. and so, you know, it's just, again, a reflection of kind of close knit group that we had a really doing some unusual things,

but ultimately helping protect the united states and our allies, you know, in a, in a very complex world. my tell me a story that you have to take out the book. i tried. i tried really hard in there about about someone that i would handle and you know, this is, you know, we recruit an agent. and agent is someone that we get providing information. but the story that i have in the book is about the personal relationship between the operations officer, case officer and the agent. and ultimately it was an area in which, you know, if i make a mistake, you know, the agent is going to is going to die. and so i tell the story, and i tell kind of this personal interaction that we had because the stakes are so high and what we do. and as a young operations officer particular you have to be almost perfect and keeping the individuals alive. and so i was talking about the light will tell us it's also it's not taking effect college. you want to one class that's like ology by the one class . because you have people who really depend on, you know, and so it was an extraordinary job. and i love telling that story because it really

is an extraordinary moment, and i think people find it very, very, very interesting. finally, the mesmerizing work of award winning documentary photographer and author peter van at mel. when i look at his pictures from the conflicts in afghanistan and iraq, what i see intimate images of people impacted by u. s. foreign policy. he describes his style as being respectful photography. i asked peter what point when he's covering a war. if he stopped taking pictures, the, i mean the line, the line is it is a trick, but everyone has different mind at a different moment when you photographed and when you intervene. i've been there in moments where stuff photographing to help it. you know, usually when i'm the only person that can help if there's other people that help and they know what they're doing, then i'll do my job. there's the 1st job is always to be made as much as possible. and i think partly it's in the editing to, i mean when things are moving very back in

a word zone. not even always entirely sure what it is your photographic, in a sense, especially because it's every moment it's meaningful is one to the 2nd 15, and just a 2nd while you're trying to stay alive and no one can process information quickly . so in terms of being, in many ways, the respectful aspect to make this agree with that is in the process. that's where the editing process. so you mentioned pictures of blood in it. you know, there's a picture with a lot of blood in it for example. but the face of the person isn't visible in it. you know, that person was dying on a, on this journey in a hospital and, and there was no way certainly give consent. but i could still give, make it very powerful image without revealing their identity. and so that's what i did. so i think that's, you know, that's balancing as a journalist, as you must be showing the reality of things in a deep and impactful way. while still trying to be thoughtful about the fact that

you know, you're, you're dealing with real people here and you know, they want to treat them in the way you would want to be to do. so. i'm wondering you pictures from afghanistan and your pictures from iraq, other document of failure of a conflict that america felt that it could win and yet did not. yeah. well, i think there's think they're documents of all sorts of failures. i mean, most specifically this last book is documented almost in the failure of imagination for at any point in the last 20 years for the american people to relate to the people in these conflicts. you know, if i think about our relationship with these war it's, it's really bad. our relationship with our own soldiers. you know, not about, we don't know, single face or a name of the millions of people caught in between these words, the thousands have been killed. certainly many millions have been displaced. you

know, of course it's more literal failure. yes, of the fact that 20 years in, we're abandoning again a stand into what and you know, that's a complicated decision. of course not the straightforward one, but you have to look at the results after 20 years of conflict and where the results are going to go in the coming years. not into a good place. one would imagine, you know, rac destabilize, deeply stabilized. very limited democratic principles there. so, what were the intended effects of going in and how to things you know, what expense in most, in blood and money and, and in the soul of the nation, i think as well. the thing that struck me the most in a way was how middle connection every day soldier really had to the politics of what was happening in the grand scale of that. you know, in the, in the, you're out with individuals who may have been perfectly decent people that were kind of just doing their job as they thought they had no idea what the impact of

the job was. you know, and this is something that i often find trouble, some with observing americans kind of, especially in foreign countries that they there, you know, these guys sincerely thought, probably they were doing something good because they were told they were doing something good. and because they thought the legacy of american power wasn't doing something good. but if they use their imagination a little bit and what was actually happening outside their home, the windows, they can see, nation collapsing that the people that deeply hated them. you know, and so i'm being very purposely reductive here. a lot of people, a lot obviously about a soldiers understood what was going on was very bad. others just didn't care but, but, but they say it struck me the most and those early embeds, and i kind of get it because i'm a byproduct of the same society, the crate to say, neva, tell you about the nature of american power. and that's why my work, i've been trying to push back against the propaganda that shape my own identity

until i had worked out a push back. he's, you know what? let tell me your photograph need your pedagogy. you don't photograph like an american. you photograph. understand the perspective of the people that you see, and that's a very hard thing to do. i'm an immigrant, so i see that there's always a full time, which is what i see from having lived in america for a long time. so i understand how a lot of my american colleagues and community i live it, they think what they think these things, but i don't see the well the same way somehow you've managed not to see the world in the same way. how do you do that? is that just more empathy, right. i wish i could say it was, but i think it's a bad product of always having a kind of multicultural, both multi nationality might be a new group of friends that check my own ignorance. and i think,

i think one becomes more empathetic and more understanding by being open their perspectives and the strength of the thoughtfulness and the passion of those perspectives. and then folding the lessons learned into one's work so. so it's been a work in progress that, i mean it's, it's part of the reason why early on i was, i was more connected to the american perspective. and now i'm, i'm trying to show things as complexly as possible because i've made so many friends also in the middle east to, to expose my own day to me. and then i try and channel those lessons in my work. that interview with peter was part of the ha stream instagram live series. follow us at a stream on instagram, to get alerts for future gas and that so show for the day i leave you with photos and peter otwell latest book. sorry for the war. thanks for watching phoenix ah,

ah, across the world, young activists and organizers around them are motivated and politically engaged. we were the one who had life on what was going on. and the way that most means to me to do the generation change is al jazeera as me series, looking at fresh ideas for the transformation of global politics. the day we do the work of making sure that our boys are heard. coming soon on al jazeera talk to al jazeera, we are, we're attacking ringer, and now they're attacking everyone in the do you regret? well, it's like we listen. absolutely. nigeria with a woman present,

it would be great. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sera, challenging the way mainstream media reports. the news. stories like these should be easy pickings for political reporters out to hold power to account how it is in journalism is breaking the destruction of civilian property. this is all evidence for law firm tries, and the red peking now we've been getting stories all john is taken from the houses in the middle of the night and tortured the listening post covers the way the news is covered out his era started cheerfully in front of the next museum in amsterdam, hundreds of protesters scattered to demand. the government is locked down restrictions and lift the curfew. the 1st in the country since world war 2, the threat is that we use our freedoms. the protest us who are not following social distances rules are repeatedly ordered to disperse by police. police are trying

very hard friends. the scenario that happened last week, when thousands were right in sitting to us. after some protest i started throwing stones and that's my work. police on horseback moved in to clear the area ah . the court committed the cause, the commission of corrections for a period of 270 months. the former us police officer derek, showed in his sentence to $22.00 and a half years for the murder of george floyd, whose family says it's a step towards healing. was in my office for the family. shipping address sees the floyd family for the 1st time, but stopped short and apologizing, the killing him. ah,

hello, welcome. i'm peter w, watching al jazeera life from headquarters here and also coming up.
