a half minutes and may of last year spark worldwide protest against racism and police brutality. john henry reports now from minneapolis for derrick jovan, his drawn the longest sentence for a convicted police officer in minnesota history for the murder of george floyd for one the court committee to the cause. the commission of corrections for a period of 270 months as to $70.00. that is a 10 year addition to the presumptive sentence of $150.00 pounds. this is based on your abuse of a position of trust in authority. and also the particular cruelty shown to george floyd. the $22.00 and a half years sentence was well under the 40 year maximum, but a decade over the state guideline of 12 and a half years. but floyd's family says it's still too short. we got justice, but not enough justice. the sentence marks a historic deterrent that civil rights leaders called

a down payment on justice. one not crawl, a criminal justice problem. the united states credit must show the same courage. there's joe show at home, police accountable. inside the court room, fluids family spoke of their loss. when you ask about him, what are you asking about or how that how the day is. okay. do you wish that he was still here with us? well, rushing through his spirit. yeah. yeah. what were you thinking? what was going to you? well, you had to neil my brother's neck. the family's called for a maximum sentence was answered by sho vins mother. when you sentenced to my son,

a protest movement that erupt it across the united states, sometimes violently revealing a deep cultural divide. the murder trial that accelerated the black lives matter movement has ended. the but in the streets of minneapolis in cities across the us, demonstrators said the movement goes on. john hinder and al jazeera minneapolis. alexis is an assistant professor of law at the brooklyn law school. she says floyd's murder has led to a racial reckoning in the us. this is a difficult matter to discuss whether a sentence is, is just and deserving. i think it's uniquely american for this country to want retribution and lengthy sentence. 22 and a half years is a long sentence. i wouldn't necessarily call for a lengthy sentence. i would rather look to something that would offer repair and some sort of relief to the family. i would also ask for reality in which black

people are not killed by law enforcement officials. and even though dear children did receive a conviction and a sentence which, again, it's very rare. what i would, i would rather see is a situation in which the presumption of criminality and dangerousness is not assigned to black people. and so we don't have a legal contact to begin with when law enforcement officials encounter black and brown people in this country, there has been increased awareness in all sectors and segments of society that racism exists. that white supremacy exists in this country. and it's something that we all need to grapple with. and so what is happening in the very beginning of it is a racial reckoning. i wish i could say that the entire nation is engaged in this, but we do already experience with conservative backlash against talking about racism against talking about critical race theory. but the needle is moving slightly forward in this arena. and i really do point to george floyd's murder in may 2020. it's setting off this,

this very pressing necessary discussion in this country that would change the underlying presumption of criminality and dangerous this, that society assigned to black people staying in the states rescue workers looking for people missing after building collapsed in florida, remain hopeful that they can find survivors. 159 people are still unaccounted for. a confirmed for people lost their lives. it is a risky and a complicated rescue operation. as kareem had that reports now from surf side. as they search for survivors after the collapse of the champlin towers, the somber reality on friday of the magnitude of the destruction and emotional devastation overnight. emergency workers called several bodies from the rubble. the number of potentially missing people dramatically increased. but officials are hopeful that more survivors were trapped beneath the wreckage will be found. unfortunately, this has been

a tragic night. we are working around the clock to find people and bring them out safely because that's what our rescue team tells us. they are doing. they have hope and we're standing with them. they are working tirelessly. they are passionate about this. they are dedicated to finding people in the rebels. the mayor also says more than 100 people have been accounted for at least 30 rescue throughout the night. family and friends of those still unaccounted for have been flooding this family reunification center desperate to find any news on their loved ones. so we're hoping that she isn't one of the hospitals. we just don't know when we're going to hear from among the missing dozens of citizens of latin american countries like argentina, venezuela, and paraguay on friday. but i was 1st lady, savannah lopez. mo data traveled to florida. her sister and other relatives are among the missing surf side is also home to

a large orthodox jewish community. at least, 20 of its members are believed to be missing as well. search and rescue efforts have been hampered by bad weather and flooding. get the site of the wreckage. one of many factors complicating the identification of victims at the family reunification center nearby loved ones are being asked to submit d n a samples. hoping to facilitate the process. authorities on the scene say the priority remains, search and rescue. once that concludes the investigation into what may have caused the collapse will begin in earnest, do we've had people working down in surfside, search and rescue non stop all through the night? it's a very, very difficult situation. the st spoke with president joe biden earlier. the president offered whatever federal assistance is needed and also emotional support to the families looking for answers. it's a tough, tough time. there's so many people waiting, are they alive, will they be,

will have to. this are heart goes out to them. as the rescue mission continues, the question remains how long before this becomes a recovery operation. kenny had that as eva surfside, florida. the us president joe biden has met with his scan counterpart, astra ghani at the white hands, as us troops prepared to leave afghanistan after 20 years of war. mister biden says, washington support for afghanistan won't end despite the troop with roll. mr. ghani is unhappy with the move, but says he respects the decision. rosalyn jordan has more in less than 2 months. the last of the us combat troops in afghanistan will leave for good at the white house, a promise from the american president to his counterpart. withdrawl does not mean farewell, the partnership between us, canada, and united states is not going to be sustained and you

know, our church maybe leaving, but support graph can stand is not ending in terms of support and maintenance of their helping maintain their military as well as economic and political support us government officials reassured us foss, connie and his delegation. the embassy and cobbled will stay open. they also announced billions of dollars a new humanitarian and security spending, to wit, $3300000000.00 us dollars to help the afghan security forces protect their country . i am confident that as resolute support began to wind down. we will make the translation to a new relationship with afghanistan, forces one that continues to help you meet your responsibilities to your citizens. while golly accepted the offers the fidelity and financial lead. it's no secret, he's not happy about the us troops departure piece talks with the taller bond still haven't lead to

a final power sharing deal. and militia groups still hold power in some parts of the country. but in this relationship between the us and afghan, a stan cobble doesn't have the final say. and connie knows to make president by doing deficient, has been a story, is made everybody recalculate and be considered. we are here to respect to and support on capital hill. afghanistan has become a code word for how the u. s. can help modernize another society that you know, in our country there is interested in the future of women and girls in afghanistan has, i think that progress was made. i saw it myself and my 9 visits to us get a sense the advancement of women and girls and your country. thank you for your leadership. but all the money invested in girls education and in economic

from el paso, the vice president, common harris is 1st visit to the us mexico border since taking office lasted just a few hours. she responded to criticism for not making the trip earlier. last year, harris went to the el paso del north de port of entry on the us mexico border. it's one of the countries of the busiest pedestrian crossings with thousands of people passing through legally every day. but when it comes to illegal entry, harris said earlier that poverty and crime are the reasons for surging numbers of people from central america seeking refuge in the us. people don't want and when they do it is usually for one to read because they are swing some harm or because to stand means that they can not satisfy the basic needs of their family . after motorcade arrived at the us border patrol station under a blistering son,

harris spoke with staff and senior officials and inspected technology upgrades. off camera she met with 5 migrant girls from central america ages 9 to 16 republicans are strongly critical of the by the administration handling of the migrant influx describing it as a dire national crisis, which the administration has bungled badly. the crisis, the mess we have in the border to be because there was no forethought, no planning. former president donald trump, who made immigration a center piece of his single term in office plans to visit the border later in june . path is the place where the trump administration 1st rolled out. it's very controversial family separation policy back in 2017. so part of ferris's visit year is to make the political point of contrast being the harsh policies of

the trumpet administration. with what the bible ministration says is its own more humane approach. but democrats and immigrants rights advocates are pressuring the administration to ditch at trump era rule that allows officials to deport would be asylum seekers immediately without allowing them to file an asylum claim. harris said immigration cannot forever be a political football. this issue cannot be reduced political we're talking about and so we're talking about talking about suffering. and our approach has to be thoughtful and effective. president joe vine has given harris the enviable task of dealing with the complex and politically charged immigration issue . it's a mission that could also have a big effect on her political career. rob reynolds al jazeera el paso

manuel rapids went to a migrant, can put the chaparral border crossing in the mexican city of t wanna just across the border from southern california. we're out in shop in the one mexico. this is a port of entry, one of many that you'll find along the us mexico border and what you see all around us is a migraine camp. human rights groups estimate there to be around 3000 people living in this camp. many of them are children living in unsanitary conditions, precarious conditions. and a majority of the folks that you'll see at this camp, or from central america countries like 100, guatemala, and we'll solve it, or many of them growing desperate to have an opportunity to plead their asylum cases, to us official. now, apart from desperation, there is also a lot of hope at this camp that changing immigration policy in the united states will mean that there were silence cases could soon be heard. now despite the fact that the bite administration has been phasing out trump era immigration policy,

specifically the so called migrant protection protocols that force many asylum seekers to wait and mexico while the cases were heard. there are still title 42, which sites the ongoing coban, 1900 health emergency. now this is probably the main reason why we're seeing so many people. thousands of people still stuck here on this side of the border helicopter, carrying the colombian president even to k, has come under fire close to the border with venezuela is the case, said several gunshots with 5. while he and members of his cabinet were flying over the cat, a tomboy region, no one was injured. there's been no claim of responsibility, but several arm groups do operate in the area to case that the attack wouldn't keep him from fighting drug trafficking, terrorism, or organize crime. it, he got it all. but if he in seattle, the presidential helicopter was the target of an attack, the defense interior ministers, a governor and myself, both the aerial device and the capacity of the aircraft helped to prevent something

lethal happening. what's clear is that this the cowardly attack, again, very clear instructions to the entire security team to go after those who shot at the aircraft. but the message is, the columbia is always strong in the face of crime. the funeral is being held for the late philippines president benito aquino. he died on thursday at the age of 61 . quino. let the country from 2010 to 2016. his remains will be inserted later on saturday. in a private cemetery, a funeral procession has been held in the occupied west bank, 41 outspoken critic of the palestinian precedent monument above the czar by not died on thursday, after being arrested and beaten by palestinian authority. security forces. stephanie decker reports from the protests that followed his funeral in hebron ha, leave leave. abass. not often heard chance aimed specifically at the palestinian president. several 1000 came out to bury news or been out here in hebron. one of

the palestinian authorities most prominent critics didn't. in the middle and his prime minister state, if you think there will be just just this just up with for the i'm about everyone that the finance is opposition, but now was fiercely outspoken against the p a and its senior leadership, accusing them of corruption, human rights violations and being

a so called sub contract her for israel. you'd recently called on the european union, the largest supplier, foreign cash to stop sending funds after president abass. again, council long awaited elections and very disappointed that international community is not putting any pressure on the be a to stop. it's good option and it's, it's operation against its own people, but not died after around $25.00 members of the palestinian authority, security forces came to detain him in the middle of the night and to really be him according to his family. human rights groups who carried out a preliminary autopsy set his body showed signs of bruising on the neck, head, chest back and legs. and some ribs were also broken. the palestine liberation organization is issued a statement saying there will be a transparent and impartial investigation. a recent poll shows that the palestinian authority is facing a great deal of criticism from its people. everyone here has told us they are fed up many tell us they want the death of our bananas to become

a turning point. but they also say it will be very difficult, dangerous to achieve real change by taking to the streets in large numbers. stephanie decker old, is there a hebron in the occupied westbank critics. if synagogue was president of class with the police while protesting against a draft anti terrorism law, they're worried that mackie saw may use it to silence opposition. members, seriously disturbing public order is one of the offense is listed as an act of terrorism. the government says reforms to the penal code are required to fight extremism. the u. k. new aircraft carrier is heading towards the asia pacific region on the mission has been described as the most significant deployment of its kind in decades. now the move has angered china, which sees it as an intrusion into the south and east china seas, and rob mcbride explains from the south korean port, city of bu, son. the mission is fueling debate among asian nations on building their own

carriers. when it comes to aircraft carriers in the vast expanses of the indo pacific, there traditionally been only one major player. the giant vessels of the u. s. navy projecting power towards friends and foes alike. but here at the defense industry show in the port city of booths and the commander of the u. s. navy specific fleet inspects what south korea hopes will be. its 1st carrier being cooperation of smart technologies combined with more sophisticated jets mean a new generation of smaller carriers is now within reach of more navies. which shall take off and vertical landing jets. carriers don't need technology and they can operate in old japan is converting to helicopter carriers to carry jets. but the biggest carrier expansion has been by china rapidly acquiring its 1st 2

with perhaps 2 more under construction and heading east asia direction on its 1st major mission, the newly built queen elizabeth from the u. k. hoping to promote the latest and carry a technology to customers, eager to acquire it. it sends a very, very clear message that they say, like minded nations wanting to work together, the able to operate together. but for many, it's a message that has echoes of a bygone colonial era. why, how they should come to this part of the wood? totally nonsensical. and it did remind me of some kind of gun, but the gun boat diplomacy of 900 century. and where the south korea needs a carrier is highly controversial. in spite of assurances the expenditure would benefit ship building and defense industries. managing home south korea has no experience in building an aircraft carrier yet. but in the course of developing

technologies to build one, we would be generating thousands of extra jobs. supporters of the project goal. so say the price tag is justified because if your neighbors have them, you better have one as well. but if face is widespread opposition from many political quarters, and the skeptical public at south korea continues to debate, whether to take the plunge, rob mcbride, al jazeera fuson, south korea, along the way to the us government report into u. f. o makes at least one thing clear. the truth is still out there, investigates is didn't find extra terrestrial links in reviews. $144.00 sightings of aircraft, or other devices, apparently flying at mysterious speeds or trajectories, but they couldn't rule it out either. the report said more data is required, subject to view f o. this is drawn serious study from the pentagon and other intelligence agencies for many years now, malcolm davis is a senior analyst at the australian strategic policy institute. he says what stood out for him in the report. as the suggestion the sightings could be connected to

enemies of the united states. i do think we need to put a t firmly in the background and leave it to one side and think about what we can explain through more simpler explanations. there's. ready a saying that usually the simplest explanation is usually the truth. and i think we really do need to apply that here. and so we're not seeing extraordinary evidence the fact that these things are alien. so we need to push that one side. what does that leave us when it leaves us with technology calls sightings that really can't be easily explained by our current understanding of aerospace, i believe that requires the study. and the most interesting thing, i think is the possibility that these may be manufactured by foreign adverse rates that are gathering intelligence on the united states. well, the interesting thing about the report is it doesn't support and it does this

explicitly. it does not support the suggestion that this is somehow a us government black project. and then it goes on to say, well, there's no evidence really, that it could be upon advisory either. but then in the next breath that says, we need to study the things they have to ask for time when they are part adverse recap abilities. so that to me, to get there is some doubt in the minds of investigators as to whether, you know, this could be something foreign created or something that's being created inside black projects in the us. so if it needs to be a study, ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top.
