who started swimming in copenhagen's harbor during the pandemic. this is the one place where his worries get washed away. is that like dancing? like when you go and dance, you're showing jolted heavy. and it's the same when you go into the water just for 30 seconds, you get up and it just can injection of pure happiness. a few hours later in another part of denmark's capital, it's not much warmer. but that doesn't stop joseph in north gren, who's from finland? one mara, one laura. it's one of the reasons i really love living here that we have the opportunity like you don't have to go far away to be able to swim. copenhagen is one of the rare european cities with harbor water clean enough to jump into. but this wasn't always possible. pair shoes works on new developments for the harbor. he says for many years the water was too polluted to swim in. but all the efforts that went into transforming the harbor from an industrial area into

a recreational one have paid off. we actually called it the, the blue park. we have a lot of green parkson in copenhagen lot of green areas. but we also have this blue park where people can enjoy themselves, no big polluting ships here. even the transport options are more eco friendly, like this electric powered ferry. having a clean harbor is a real point of pride for copenhagen. but the work is far from over. these days the aim isn't just to make the area safer for humans, but also to protect the ecosystem that exists beneath the water. these are bio huts also known as fish hotels, dozens of steel cages that contain boxes filled with empty oyster shells, where algae and small organisms grow. the initiative is a partnership between the world wildlife fund and the city of copenhagen, vertical walls of peers as don't show a lot of complexity. and this is

a bio hats can help in these bio had had stay in. they give space for kind of an niches where small fish can live that a good chance and etiquette. foot like the other harbor projects, an attempt to ensure locations that will comfort and in aquatic environment that can flourish. i'm a jim, jim, a 0. copenhagen, a trials coming to a close of a former u. s. police officer involved in the shooting of a black motorist. kimberly porter broke down and called last week while testifying about the death of dante wright, his killing in minneapolis spark nationwide. protests potters pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. she says she meant to use her taser, but drew her gun instead and opened fire. john hendrick joins us now. live from outside the coal to minneapolis. so do we know what to expect and closing arguments to day?

we do sammy right now. what we're hearing is the prosecution summarizing it's case and it basically comes down to there's nobody believes that dante right should not be alive today, including the defense. kim potter says she is meant to draw her taser, which was on her left hand side instead of the argument is that she out of habit she reached for her firearm on her right side. and as he was allegedly pulling away in his car with a police officer hanging off on his side, she fired. and at that point the one shot killed him. she realized what she had done said, oh my god, i shot him fell to the ground. and then said to a fellow officer, i am going to prison. so what is at stake here is a. busy is an argument in which the prosecution is saying she should have known better that she endangered dante wright and others by pulling out that firearm when

it was not necessary. her defense team is saying 2 things. first of all that it was justified that she pulled out her firearm because dante right in her words, was driving away while a police officer was at the window of his car. and secondly, that it was a mistake that she made that was unforeseen. she had no intent to fire that weapon at him, and therefore i'm on that score as well that she should be innocent because she had no intention and in the 2nd degree manslaughter. it does say that there needs to be a consciousness of her actions with that's the argument. but this is kind of complex case. the, according to a prosecutor, i spoke to recently where the jury could actually hang. they could disagree and be unable to resolve this case. we'll see in the coming days as everybody hopes to resolve this before the christmas holiday this week. john having quite a number of cases lately. haven't. they're of black males, you know, being injured or killed at incidents like this once

a steak for the country. you're absolutely right, sammy, this happened during the trial of the officer who was ultimately convicted of killing george floyd. so those protests were going on here. wal, dante, right, we shot nearby. so the protesters actually went to the scene of van van. and what's at stake is whether the streets here in minneapolis will fill up again with protesters who were angry about the outcome of this trial. interestingly, during the winter, it's been very different than what we saw in the protests of summer when there's all happened. there was the trial of kyle written house, young white man, who had shot a couple of protesters during a protest over the shooting police shooting of a black man in kenosha, wisconsin. after that, he was not convicted of any crime and yet the street still didn't fill up. so there may be a difference, you know, people coming out here in the very cold temperatures of winter as opposed to summer

. but that is what's at stake. and of course this in minnesota, where george floyd was killed, this is the epicenter of those protests which spread around the country. so there is a real threat that there could be a reaction in the st. samuel jeff, to wait to see when the verdict comes out. what happens? i thanks so much john. 100 the funerals have been held in guatemala for victims of a trunk crash in mexico. the bodies of 55 migrants and asylum seekers was sent back home following the crash early of this month. the crowded taco returned long carrying around 250 men, women, and children all hoping to reach the united states. hong kong need to carry lammas . praise the outcome of sunday's legislative election despite low turnout. pro bay gene candidates swept to victory, winning a seat in every district about 30 percent of eligible voters cause the balance. it was the 1st election since paging made controversial changes in hong kong

a lot of assassinations are interested in having a band woke up. but if are going to stick to bear truth, the main reason why the 52 member association unanimously voted for the piano a couple because task is wrongly strongly in for the moment. there can be no doubt that if i had a very large role and they think president patricia mcduffy and also the secretary general grandma think about who has been known as jenny. right. and then the english premier league has confirmed it will go ahead with its fixture list despite the disruption being caused by coping 196 of the 10 matchers across saturday. and sunday had me postpone one of the matches that went ahead. so leaders, mattress or to be new capital guidance, club clubs have received is that they should fulfill their fixtures. they have 13 fit players along with a goalkeeper. and this is how man city boss have 40 or describe the ongoing challenges. how does the decisions taken by leak?
