that his life plus 20 travelers look michael and his father gregory give him the maximum sentence for murdering 25 year old aubrey of chasing into a georgia neighborhood in february of 2020 william raleigh brown. who joined in the chase was given a mandatory mud, a sentence of life imprisonment, but with the possibility of parole. after 30 years. the judge said that he, unlike his co defendants, had displayed some remorse. all 3 can appeal their sentences but also face a federal hate crimes trial. next month, before the sentencing members of abra family made their case. a man who killed mass 7, a new court rome every single day. next to his father. and now we get the chance. 6 next, my son, elbow again. and aubrey's mother addressed her son directly. i made a promise to you. today i'll laid you tress. i told you i

love you. and some day, somehow i would get to justice. the presiding judge said he thought deeply about the case even paused in silence for a minute to suggest how long aubrey had been running in fear of his life before he was murdered. a fraction of the time that a mod armory was running in satilla shores and rendering his verdict. the judge alluded to the racial fault lines of this community in the deep south. i argue that maybe a neighbors more than the people who just own property around your house. i believe that is also believe that in assuming the worst in others we show our worst character outside the court aubrey's mother, thank those who supported her family and made reference to one of the most shocking moments of the trial. when one of the prosecutors alleged her son was on a victim,

but a criminal quotes with no socks to cover his dirty tow. now, the long toenails that he bought in she she failed and mentioned that amount was lying up in the middle. the row with a big hole in the chit, outside the court. never celebration that accountability for the murder of a black man by white men in the south. too. many of them still haven't gotten anybody arrested for killing their child. so this is about all of us. no more. no more. but it should be remembered that in the altima of aubrey's killing, the police and local authorities did nothing excepting the word of those now convicted of murder. that aubrey had been up to no goods. only when video evidence was released weeks later, did state authorities act. she ever tansy al jazeera catholic sounds president has told us force as they can shoot to kill without warning. as he tries to involved in protest against his government. thousands of protesters and security personnel have been killed and more than 3000 people have been detained. russian lead forces

news. there were the tweet i read at the start of this pandemic as co 19 forces off to physically distance from one another. society is at risk of a social recession. a social recession is marked by an increase in loneliness and isolation. it was posted in mid march by a former surgeon general of the united states doctor visit murphy, and already by that points entire regions and key cities of some countries had been in lockdown finelli to home from the start. it was clear that beating this pandemic was going to require sustained physical distancing, and warranting, but for medics and mental health specialists around the world. another thing was clear to that the locked down to going to reveal the extent of another hidden public health issue. loneliness

the or social distancing physical distancing. quarantine locked down so fascination more than any other time in recent history. anti social behavior has become part of our global reality because to separate ourselves from one another to stay for prolonged periods of time at home to not meet with friends and family to not commit to work or even sit in a restaurant or a cafe. all of that is quite anti social. it's not how humans a while. and it's why, even though the physical health benefits of the covey triggered lockdown stepping, undeniable. the psychological impact has been inescapable to italy's experience with corona virus was harrowing. it was one of the 1st european countries to be affected, and despite strict look down, it has had more than $36000.00 corona virus related deaths. as of october, this year, in early march after

a cove in 19 outbreak flared up near her home. 74 year old psychologist, roberta brovio, went for colleagues, set up a free mental health hotline for long body residence. she began to receive calls immediately. i think your mother on a monday through stanley black in more you and michael a, b, b o z o a mean good billing for ne shasky with . ready a, c t e compasses cameras. a.

when i spoke to roberta, she was coordinating a network of 200 professional psychologist volunteering their time. during the lockdown made cools from all of italy, from sicily in the south to ios are in the far north. they've even received messages from us, far abroad is to buy the united states and australia. kristy kissing thing knows how to pick him up at alley, wrapped them in tie. no stella though. one se me camel number. are you going to be fired with jacket and how many things going on on the am i abuse on that you would go? i'll be going to be fired with yak, k, my dog a, as in zebra. when i see people in your mouth, i would think that a thought that a place you on an english join in a span dope

with sympathetic on pet batch, no male duet abuse or no do not going to schooling. so we have thought they load these abilene n korea to cool. cool. read. ah, i see people do it them. yeah. my kill and my life and calais, a good that, that. and can i ask how many calls have come through during this interview? i don't like him, i think he'll choose channel cri. nietzsche. humans have an innate psychological drive to connect with others. what we're learning more and more now is that that need to connect. it's physiological to just weeks after the world health organization declared cove in 19 a global pandemic. research is at the massachusetts institute of technology. mit posted a preliminary report on social isolation and some of the new responses it triggers . the findings pointed to one telling conclusion. our need to connect is as primal

or is fundamental as our need to eat. just 10 hours of total isolation can leave the brain feeling starved. i spoke with julianne hope that a professor of psychology and neuroscience at brigham young university. no, we're not wired 3 little huh. she says that surge of panic. cool. that sinking sensation in your stomach when you're physically cut off from people, is a biological response that has evolved in us over millennia, throughout human history. and we needed to rely on others or our survival. but that protection or efficiency in obtaining resources or brands have adapted to expect others. and so when the last approximate, each other's particularly trusted. others this in essence, but us on a state of alert because now we have to manage the threats in our environment on our own. the latest sites on loneliness shows that acute isolation has physical

health repercussions to such an increase in hot right and blood pressure surgeon, stress hormones, and internal inflammation. according to research published in the cardiovascular medical, general hot people who feel lonely at 29 percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease. and 32 percent more at risk of suffering. a stroke julianne has also studied how social isolation impacts mortality. what we were able to find was that being well, lee, i was associated with a 26 percent increased risk for death being socially isolated, 29 percent and living alone, 32 percent. and although there was some low relative insurances, they weren't significantly different from little child that are meaning that both being objectively isolated and that subject a feeling of loneliness, they both significantly predict risk her earlier death. what the suggests is that

we need to take our relationship seriously for, for the 1st time in human history, great numbers of people, little ages in or places a living alone. in the u. s. for instance, the percentage of single person households has increased from 30 percent in the ninety's sixty's to 28 percent today. in europe, things a higher still with around 38 percent of dutch and nearly 42 percent of germans living alone. in fact, from ecuador to japan, this upward trend is visible all around the world. when the pandemic broke one of the catch phrases that caught instant popularity was social distancing. however, when i spoke with cecilia just eric clinton bag, he made an important point about the terminology. it isn't quite accurate and understood what was important about that idea in a distance he helps. i realize right away that there was a problem. because social distancing is very different from physical distancing. actually, people we need to get through the situation. certainly to rebuild afterwards is

social proximity, you know, social solidarity. we'd be looking out for each other, taking care of each other and making sure that we are helping people who have the greatest needs. eric was quick to point out to me that despite the increasing numbers of people living solo, they wouldn't automatically fall under the category of the people most likely to suffer loneliness. people who live alone in the ordinary times are actually quite social on average, that are more likely than married people to spend time with friends and neighbors. they go out into public and shared spaces. the problem now is that everyone who lives alone has been forced to be socially isolated for the 1st time ever. and i fear that this has generated a spike of loneliness to and so as much as we're in an economic recession now we're also in social recession with the locked down, limiting travel, everything come simple can meet too long, whole plane journeys and physical distances, restricting how close,

we can get to each other. many people have thought out ways to deal with the social recession. if you're like me and i've been fortunate enough to have access to a laptop or a phone and a good wife fi connection, then technologies been an undeniable benefit. what's that? we chat face time? scott zoom, tick tock. all these apps and many more have made staying in touch with people so much easier. and yet so many have still felt played by isolate action and inc, diety, many of these tools feel very synthetic, right? i thought about the idea that this may be somewhat analogous to where they have been incredibly beneficial in making food more accessible to many more people. but i also come with potential and you know, just like process food mary blindly in the degree to which they are nutritious. so

do many or beans tools. they still lack that personal touch. you can't reach across the screen and get when. yeah, i think my mom and dad and i really would understand agreement i'm grateful that i can have a conversation with my parents who are in a, in other states and based time or that i can teach my students and i knew him. you know, here we are doing this interview through our screen, but i think the majority of people at the end of this just can't wait to get back to the life to be in a restaurant or a cafe, or a library or playground or soccer field to spend time with beings and susie, you're safe and we feel secure enough to do it. i think we'll, we'll realize just how much we depend on and should value the social infrastructure that was taken for granted in london. this is not a single emotion. it's a complex feeling that consists of many different emotional states,

from anger to fear, to grief, to insecurity and uncertainty. in january, as the chinese government implemented the 1st major lockdown, the world was to see this year in whoo, hon city. not only when medics moved in to deal with coven 19, but there was an infusion of psychologists and psychiatrists from the start to deal with the mental and emotional impact of the distancing isolation and fia. even mental health professionals not physically in move on, got involved. then you're in shanghai and you started the one psychological assistance project. how does it all come a functional, a name? yeah. ashley mean a.

ready ready was you know, jennifer and blair in an issue natty vision shouting a ha, ha ha ha, ha, ha i, y'all one, man. you sure i, we chat the chinese messaging up was the main point of connection between the psychologist. the aide work is making refer girls and the people needing help. what started as a group of 17 shanghai base counselors in grew to 50 professions from across china . hope you're doing well, man. yeah. sure. yeah. i oh, yeah. not how much you can do any chance. yeah, sure not,

i should do sit down and i need to show you that when i'm, when are you now pushing out, you're gonna have to show me that way or if i'm in the with that, oh hi. oh hi you sure john, how mom with daddy. we're trying the uncle. the shock you got to the other day

in my turn. ready your time and i will talk to him about what you're doing. you got if i'm in control down the much in your one, that's when you go on i just need to

know what you and i can get you to put on a viewer. i'll be comparing most sony laska patch. daddy kid. do you have a queen be not nonsense. dear cpu posey showing the sorry to go now. i know you did to color, would you be missing to school because a postal side feel equally. okay. so j silk is thus to thing though, such a bill chip, you can also my mom that can be am a big lip kidney. i'm really bluntly deal dwaa get down with an a for g,

dash it the vm offer chilly pride when we face grim situations. winnings id looms, we seek out coping mechanisms during the lockdown watching communities of diverse and distance people try to cope together. was fascinating. in italy, balconies became spaces for music and dance and even enabled people to share food with those who couldn't afford enough of thereon. there were half humorous huff, wistful videos on line of people in different countries trying to play sports or getting a workout to get in malaysia, people flickered their lights on and off in a symbolic and often poignant show of solidarity and back with a look dance 1st, began in woo hahn when no one really knew much about the virus and even few understood the pros and cons of physical distancing. chance of wound joe or keep fighting between one don't mean long. now they're entering those jenkins. then who was your shaw?

you go, you do your synagogue in their insured passion, mailed his the 3 for john her since you had mentioned before. mentioned you saw went out doing that daniel, me that you you hung as you as unique in congress. are you gonna need a watch home? how we should do i go to uncle who not jamming, which i your, it's in the di. should i have your money? you should, you know, it really comes back to we are social beings. we are not meant to be alone. you know, it's analogous to the idea of hearing that the water is not safe to drink and yet we're all so thirst he, he and so we're looking for opportunities in a variety of ways. and i'm, and i'm actually loving some of the creative ways that people are, i mean to, to try and connect under these incredibly strange circumstances. but this being something else as well. laughing together, finding humor, it's everything that's going on. we may not see it quite like that, but that's

a coping mechanism to. well, you know, like life goes on and, you know, we need some relief and it's just too much to face pressure and anxiety all the time. and i think the laughter is what keeps us saying, you know, it's, it's hewick ah, it's redemption. and so, you know, they're clearly moments where you can't last. i've seen videos that people, you know, in the hospital find ways to make light of the situation as medical workers take time to sing, odd to their patients or play good music to let people spirits early that the liam up bayville announced that the budget gaudy, fancy so we did, we did leon. yeah. or throw sophia realities. okay. the unemployed at the height of them, of down so much more than $100.00 countries had instituted either partial or full

locked down. that's more than 3000000000 people indoors, physically distancing it was a radical change to how so many of us are used to living. and there were significant concerns that there would be a spike in loneliness and all the associated issues. ready but a study conducted between january and late april in the united states by research as a. ringback florida state university college of medicine reported some interesting early findings that spike in loneliness that mental health specialists were bracing for. it seems not to have happened. of course, there were people who felt a nuisance of isolation. there were others who loneliness momentarily intensified. but over all the fees of a raging epidemic of loneliness didn't materialize, i don't actually think there's a moment. i don't like the use of that contact. i mean we're living through append to immigrate now we know what it means to have major health crisis. ready and i fear the language of the academic doesn't really help us get the precise tools that we need to feel better. maybe part of it is, is finding that threat of connection,

a shared experience. this isn't global phenomenon. it's affecting people of variety of backgrounds. and so they're in the collective experience that we are not only facing this together. we're grieving together, but we also in order to fight it, we need, we need to work together, right? and so there is what i hope a growing sense of quality or a hero and comfort that as we are staying home. if you protect those in our community, our phase are linked to the, to the people who live around us. you know, whether it's in the next room or the next building or the next block or the next state. we're deeply injured and, and for me, recognizing our interview. and it helps you to think about how to build solidarity in the sense that we're in together. and refusing it thing the way to get through

the way you can close the door and turn into the bedroom list is a formula for more division. it's not me personally at home or everybody else is having an exciting life at tardies and, and i hope that people are able to. ready take comfort in that fact. here's the thing about loneliness and you can be surrounded by other people and still feel lonely. because just being in a crowd isn't enough to create the kind of connection human need. and it's counterintuitive, as it may seem it's, it's very feeling of loneliness that serves as a trigger for us to find ways to make things better for ourselves. we become aware of which emotional needs being lift unfulfilled and we make the effort to reach out, talk to people. there's a lot of things that we get in life because we feel occasional,

and it pushed us to go out in the world to build friendships, that can cause us to get introspective, can help us, you know, think creatively. it's only really dangerous when it comes to balls into something more durable and biting. and you know that when that happens you really do stress and is horrible for health. a good point, the emergence of young or not just a normal for me please, cynthia secrecy. and up is when i think it should be so my you the solely going on . so no pushing. i mentioned to them i wish that cause a misuse born a priestess. just continue mean to see could always go pick him up with

a stigma around talking about. and so one other hope that i how is that from this situation given that i think so many people are really lonely . even though lose some of that stigma. other people may be more open about talking about that and their experiences, so they're getting better at it and recognize that we're now, ah, shawn ah, look forward to brighter sky's the weather. sponsored my cousin airways. hello, good to see it's the weekend. here's your weather forecast. for asia, we're going to begin in the northwest of india, where there are rounds of heavy rain gems, cashmere into bun, job,
