the united nations secretary general as he calls for diplomacy to resolve the crisis between russia and ukraine. not just for south africa, it's for africa. and for the whole world on the world health organization, pick 6 african countries to establish their own, m, r and aid vaccine production. also, the roof of a major london arena is ripped off a storm eunice batter's se in england. and in sported mpic teeth. thomas back says the russian teams, treatment and figures, k said commit a valley. eva is chilling. meanwhile, the metals keep coming in beijing with another goal for china's and freestyle skia island game in the women's half high competition. ah, good to have you with us. welcome to the news i. we begin with the latest on the

crisis between russia and ukraine. there's been an increase in fighting between government forces and russian back separatists in east and ukraine. the separatist leaders of genette scanned by hands cuz a civilians will be moved to russia with the approval of the kremlin. but ukraine says it has no intention of attacking the separatist ruled eastern region, or even crimea, calls for immediate de escalation, have been front and center at the music security conference. un secretary general antonio good harish says, tension seem higher now than during the cold war. with a concentration of russian forces it on the ukraine. i am deeply concerned about hate intentions and increase speculation about a military conflict in europe. i still sing it will not happen. but if it did, it would be get has traffic. there is no alternative to diplomacy. all issues, including the most inflexible must be addressed. so diplomatic frameworks and it is

high time to seriously deescalate, are 150000 russian soldiers remained near the ukrainian border. now moscow says vladimir putin will oversee nuclear drills on saturday. we have 3 correspondence home, the story this news hour and a moment will have the latest from care with andrew simmons. they'll be reaction out of moscow with dorsey jibari. but 1st, let's cross over to charles stratford, who's never see lavaca in southern southeastern ukraine. a charles, a news about this, the separatist leaders in the southeast of the country near. were you asking moscow to shelter their residence? what are we to make of that statement? well, it can only really be described as a very worrying development. of course, we can in no way confirm that this necessarily means a definitive escalation, any kind of move from the russian back separatists course. they have been saying

now for days that term they believe that the ukranian side may be planning such move ukrainians as you reported. then have stuart's li denied that. but sam, yes, this announcement from not only the leader of the self declared to nets, people's republic, but the leader of the self declared lance people's republic. that's the republic. further and all boast leaders announcing and evacuation of people am close to the contact zone, saying that term that women, children, and elderly should leave that area. interestingly, we've been seeing some pitches coming out of the net sca in the last hour or so and some very dramatic scenes of an a siren blaring through the streets. we've seen pictures of her of cars queueing up for petrol. we've also seen lists of places where people can go and to be picked up by buses. also reports from people who have

been speaking to and annette, saying that local bus drivers, bus drivers, that usually travel to a, to russia, to day being ordered, that they are not allowed to go and that they must participate in helping in this evacuation effort. let's have a listen to the moment when the leader of the self declared the nets people's republic, denny specially made that announcement they wouldn't knew it. now, as of today, february 18, a mass centralized evacuation of our population to the russian federation has been organized. woman, children and the elderly are to be evacuated 1st duty, but they go by doing this. according to the agreement with the russian federation leadership, places to accept and house or citizens were prepared in russ of region. evacuees will be provided with all necessary themes in order to cross the border fast all conditions were set at checkpoints. and of course, charles, buddy reports these past few days of shelling and bombing reported conflict in the

area. how serious has it being getting from, from where you are of what you're hearing. we've been traveling around this of contact zone in the south, east of that 420 kilometer front line. visiting villages here the situation is calm. it has been to day. certainly the ukrainians sang that term that been shelling overnight and we spoke to villages as i say in this area. they say that they've been shelling earlier in the morning in the villages that we went to. there had been no damage, no casualties, but they'd heard a lot of loud bangs in the morning. they were unable to say whether it was incoming or outgoing. we've also had earlier today the dentist people's republic or sort is saying that sir, what they reported is 70 ukrainian shells landing in around annette scam and reported a cuts in the electricity as well. air is without electricity. and of course,

all this comes at a time where as we've been reporting there are increasing phase amongst ukrainian a western backers about was often known as false flag operations operations. so incidence that a falsified that a fabricated, that may give in analysts opinion the russian back separatists. and he, russia some sort of pretext to take some military action. as we know, russia still continues to say that it has no interest in any kind of move. but this announcement from pushy, lynn, and his counterpart in the la gangs people's republic suggests that russia is, is very much being part of that announcement. and of course, it is russia that he's going to be accommodating these people that are being moved . they're being put into accommodation. we understand in the rust off region, which is across the russian border. so despite these are these comments as, as an ongoing em current from the russians saying that there is no intention to

invade, that there is no intention for any military escalation. and you know the words from people like pushing and his counterpart in the north of the separately controlled republics. there are very much on the country to that. but it is important to say this does not necessarily mean that we are expecting a move, a military move by the year, by the separatists across the complex zone, which i suppose is around about 10 kilometers from this village. and i should also say that it has huge implications for the many thousands of people on this side of the conflict line. i mean, we've been speaking to people in this village. they hadn't even heard the news. and one lady we spoke to said, well, she just doesn't believe anybody any more. but sir, you know, it's a fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people that potentially in this region on the ukrainian side as well, that are very vulnerable indeed to any kind of further military escalation. charles

at ford forest there in southeastern ukraine. thank you. let's cross over to door such a barrier correspondent in the russian capital moscow who's standing by an interesting what's going on in the southeast of ukraine. it has impact on what's been going on in moscow earlier today where the russian president hosted the belarus president her in the kremlin. they had a joint press conference. they were very adamant about their position and exactly what's been going on within their land borders. yes, absolutely. due to men as a velo russian president, alexander, look shank o and the russian president vladimir putin stressed their joint. a military drills that are ongoing is not a cause for concern. the russian president vladimir putin as saying that this is just being used as an excuse and the words that we heard from the bell, russian president about what is happening in the current and tensions that are

ongoing was very telling. i think he said that we are on the brink of a conflict that may involve the entire continent. i think this is very significant for him to say this. he believes that there is a, a movement against the 2 countries that have a very strong and close relationship. this is the 6th visit by alexander lucas and go to russia over the past 12 months. and i think it's important to highlight that this relationship is only going to get stronger as the 2 men stated, their desire to increase their economic ties, as well as their military and ties, as well as the russian president vladimir putin saying that the 10 day military drills that will come to an end on february 20th, called, allied resolve will wrap up shortly. but of course, before that on saturday, a number of ballistic and cruise missiles will be tested within the areas of russia, including the northern and baltic sea. and that is where he also invited alexander

lucas and could to oversee those drills taking place. and of course, the bell, russian president all too happy to oblige. but when it comes to everything that's been taking place in terms of these military activities, the russian president had this to say in terms of the a caution that he had for western countries. and this rhetoric that is coming from them saying there's really no cause for concern. let's listen to what else he had to say. she would just look, did he go of canyon at today's talks? we also discuss strengthening our joint defense space of russia and belarus. we agreed again to take collect of measures for strength and security of our countries in the face of the growing military activity of nato countries near the borders of our states. we also focused on the joint military exercises, which will continue in belarus until the 20th of february. i should say that these exercises are totally defensive in nature, and do not threaten any one. well, let's cross over now to andrew sevens, who's in care for us and andrew,

that seemed to be competing narratives through the day about the situation on the border. the ukrainian government was updating its own politicians in kiev. what was said well, what's happening is that there are those competing narratives you refer to as the, the separatists, the russian, but separatists are basically accusing ukraine of being provocative and, and shelling of their front lines and indeed their civilian areas. this is totally denied by ukraine and they, they are saying quite the opposite that the have been false lag operations by the separatists, including the attack on a, a kindergarten false information, dis, information in the russian media. old design. they say here, they say the russians are doing this to really make the russian public feel that the, the ukraine is being a provocative and indeed violence wolds,

the separatists. this has all been building up with a whole host of other issues. a report from i did ask that there have been an attempt, a bi saboteurs, as they have been termed to actually make a bomb in a chemical facility in the dpr, which shirt apparently involved chlorine. and the claim was made by the dpr. they didn't screw people's republic that so this was an incident where 2 secretaries were killed. now the foreign minister here metro caliber has it tweeted, as categorical absolute denial of this incident along with many others and says, he is, is absolutely firm in the resolution that a diplomatic solution should be the way forward. and his as warning against

the, the, the whole campaign, the russians are mounting through a he terms the, at the whole an area are all of the, the dpi or indeed lance as well. that there is really a situation whereby people should be very wary of how they move forward. the other issues are really mounting up as well, with the suggestions that sir, the russians are reinforcing the borders right across the board. there is a, a feeling certainly, but my monks at the western states that they are russians are lying all away about, returns to, to garrisons of troops and indeed equipment and receiving thanks very much for the latest. they're from care of. let's cross over to james bay's our diplomatic editor who's at the munich security conference in germany. and james, you and i have both interviewed the u. s. equity general on many occasions,

but i don't think i'd ever seen him lay out a crisis on the table in such stark terms. this is a, he has some genuine concerns that he's reiterating from a global perspective and he's very worried he's very white indeed. and he still says that if you look at it logically, he does not think that will be an invasion of ukraine, but also he's hearing the rhetoric from both sides and he says that needs to be serious de escalation. he's made it quite clear that if there is any sort of russian incursion into ukraine, let he quoted in his speech here, the un charter article 2 of the un charter says that would be a breach of what is the fundamental document of international law since world war 2, and i know the audience for those comments clearly was russia. he said, if there was to be an invasion, us intelligence is certainly talking about

a full scale all out invasion. which would mean that the russians would go and take the capital kiev, and the rest of the country. that would be a catastrophe. and i know that the u. n is already doing contingency plans to try and deal with what would be a humana, terry, and emergency. clearly, an operation like that a military operation would mean many, many people dead, but also would mean population flows from ukraine. remember those visa, free travel for ukrainians into the europe in union? and i'm told that some estimates that the us working on as possibly as many as a full scale invasion, 3 to 5000000 refugees leaving ukraine, such as serious situation. and of course, i'm not even mentioning the possible effects on the global economy of that sort of operations that really is concentrating mines here in munich. we've heard from the

un secretary general, we've heard from the german foreign minister. we've heard from the us secretary of state and was just possibly a moment before you came to me. i asked him about the situation. i'm afraid he blanked me and carried on walking and just said good afternoon. but clearly they are very concerned about the situation here and watching things very closely, hour by hour. and certainly the music security conference is an annual gathering of the senior politicians and diplomats, but the most noticeable absentee this year, all the russians. but they will, i'm sure, be intently listening to those american voices and the blink. and may have not said much to you, but he, he did. he was on the podium as was the defense secretary. yeah, the defense minister germany was for speaking to and then a pretty united message. and i think that is what the russians were watching all their any cracks in this alliance among the nato allies on the us and its allies.

it's a larger lot of different cultures. the german foreign minister was pressed on the fact that germany is not providing weapons. she explained. germany is in a different place in terms of its public opinion. and it's more than history to many other of the data countries. it does not want to be involved in a war, and german public opinion certainly backs that position with the law off, as you say, is a read very regular visitor, the, the russian foreign minister. and the fact he's not coming here, i think is, is making a point to the world. it is the worst reminding you of some of the things that are being said in the last few hours. so the secretary plain kin made it clear the un security council, the sit down. mr. law brought mr. lab rob said he's prepared to meet. so perhaps just perhaps they can be some more diplomacy in europe in the next few days to face all diplomatic as to thanks very much, james. well, plenty more. had he on the alt, is there a news r including? i'm john henry in minneapolis where the fate of foreign police officer,

kim potter is in the hands of a judge for the killing of dante wright hope faith. the survivors in southeast and brazil after devastating floods and as a warning of more rains to come and, and sport, the silver arrow returns, we get a 1st glimpse of the new mercedes formula, one car ah . until the news now at 6 african countries have been chosen to establish their own m r n a vaccine production. the announcement was made out the east african union summit in brussels. the had healthy world health organization says egypt to kenya, nigeria, synagogue, south africa, and to nicea will be the 1st on the continent to receive the technology. we expect the benefits of this initiative will extend far beyond corporate name to him by

creating a platform for vaccines against as it is including malaria, tuberculosis, and even cancer. so this is a strategic investment not just for copied, but for all the major health problems that we face. and we have will be, not just for south africa, it's for africa and for the whole world, because this box will be distributed all over the world. we parker has more from brussels anger about vaccine in a cause. he threatened to cast a long shadow over the entire summit, given that several ram vasa had describe the current situation as a vaccine apartheid given that 71 percent of europeans have had 2 jobs. but only 12 percent of africans have been a double vaccinated. but all round this initiative has been welcomed by a you and e. u leaders. the creation of the 6 or vaccine spokes or hobbs in different countries across the continent. allowing a vaccine,

know how and manufacturing and technology to be shared in those particular hub, so that the vaccines could be distributed at speed across the continent. but in the background there is still simmering tension and anger between the e u and the a, a u. when it comes to intellectual property rights and the creation of these vaccines, many a you leaders, i say, will look if the europeans are serious about getting vaccines to people who need them about eradicating the likes of coven, 19 or indeed other potentially serious illnesses. then pharmaceutical companies really need to consider sharing their research to allow african scientists to create a vaccines in africa, from scratch, for africans. that remains something of a pipeline. dream marley's ruling military hunter has told friends to withdraw their forces from the country without delay. it comes out after the french foreign minister said marley's fight against groups like al qaeda and isaac is now their

own problems. frances, during troops from mali after a 9 year mission. and yet they deal or foresee the malia army has been strengthened, reorganized the problem. now is to know whether it gets its orders from the jointer, and if it's laying off the fight against terrorism, it's a malia problem. it is no longer a french problem. below, he has declared a poorly outbreak. the 1st in africa in more than 5 years. the case is detected in a 3 year old girl in the capital a long way. it's thought it's happy you could have been into introduced from pakistan where wild polio is still endemic. world health organization is accredited high levels of surveillance for picking it up early. the continent had been declared polio free in 2020 not 2 people are trapped on a ferry which caught files the coast of greece. a rescue effort is under way to freedom. hundreds of others were rescued by the case. got 288 people on board the vessel which was on its way to italy. the cause of the fire is not yet known.

millions of people across the u. k. and ireland are being wanted to stay at home with storm you. this lashes the country record. gus, 195 kilometers per hour, have ripped off parts of the roof of london's o. 2 arena. that's the highest wing just ever recorded in england. and he's one man was killed by a falling tree, an island while trying to clear day bree or challenge is in london now, following events. forces rory, i mean, you've always been an upstanding member of the reporting team, but you've really had a difficult day trying to report on this story. it has been an incredibly gusty day earlier on. i was down the next to the dark for bridge . one of the main crossings of the river thames southbound traffic comes over that bridge is part of the m $25.00. the london oar was almost away. but today as of 5 am this morning that was completely shots. obviously,

huge travel disruption caused because of that is very difficult to stand up out to say the winds where i am at the moment a little bit less than they were earlier day down in a different location. but you can see behind meets the effects of the winds. this is the london o 2 arena, formerly called the millennium dome. it's a huge exhibition and constant space in greenwich and london southeast. and as you can see, a very sorry sight at the moment. the fabric skin that covers the millennium day in that part at least as being completely ripped asunder by storm. eunice, ah, it will take some time. i think her to repair that as far as we know, no injuries, no death caused by that incident or elsewhere. ah no debts reported in the u. k. that's not the same though in islands where a man has been killed by a falling tree. he was out trying to clear storm debris or when that happens,

the ambulance services in the u. k. being swamped though in south central, england's there have declared at a critical incident due to the demand on emergency services and disruption from storm eunice. the red warnings though that have been in place across our parts of the country, the se, london, the south west and south wales are those of all past now, ands or that we're now moving to amber situations. still a danger to life though, and as i mentioned before, huge travel disruption that there have been at least 430 plane flight cancellations in and out of law the u. k. airports there is widespread disruption on the tray network with trees down on lines all over the south of england channel, ferries have been cancels and this is the 2nd storm to hit the u. k. at this week or this sir. eunice was preceded by dudley and you might remember back in november,

there was another severe storm are when the knots out power for thousands of thousands of people around the country. the government, the guys holding a cobra meeting later on today. as far as we understand, it doesn't want to repeats of, of the arwin situation and unit. the storm coming through u, the u. k. very fast, but it's had a yawn. so other parts of northern europe and beyond. of course, we'll come back to you for more of an update as the day progresses for the moment i really challenging for us in london. thank you. now, the dutch prime minister has apologized for systematic and widespread, extreme violence during indonesia war of independence. margareta says the government takes responsibility for the war. crimes committed in the former colony, victoria gate b reports. news from indonesia were these nomadic pictures about forces taking action against republicans for decades. the dutch government said the army had done nothing wrong, as it attempted to regain control of their former colony during intern easiest 4 year long war of independence. that started in 1945. but his study by dutch

researches has concluded the army did commit war crimes against civilians, and that political and military leaders largely ignored the attacks. the dutch prime minister said the findings are harsh but unavoidable, and issued an apology for what he called a collective failure. did almost all is amazing for the systematic and widespread extreme violence from the dutch side in those years and the consistent looking away by previous cabinets to them i make today on behalf of the dutch government, a deep apologies to the people of indonesia, for reports of violence and massacres have been around for a long time. but it wasn't until 2017 that the government commissioned an investigation is estimated more than a 100000 indonesians were killed, did extreme high belt. can the fate of his highness for him? this extreme violence took many forms such as torture executions without trial

beatings, right, theft, detention, and the and human conditions, violent reprisals such as the shooting of civilians and messed attention killing. but some in the netherlands think the country has nothing to apologize for. they say the report is biased built, but if normal in all law, violence is normal. when you're in war, there was a war going on. whatever people want to call it, be it police action or a war of d colonization on. it's all true or no, i can see it from both sides because i am 50 percent javanese was a and my family fought on both sides of this battle draco, it was very violent on all sides. the netherlands finally recognized indonesia independence in 1949. but more than 70 is owned, the country is still coming to terms with its colonial past. victoria gay to be al jazeera, still a had here on al jazeera, thousands of haitian gob workers protest demanding better pay. we'll have

a report coming up, leave full face arrest. that's the warning to try to lead protests in canada. as new police powers come into effect. and the for the miami heat will be in a very good mood, is going to be a head to its full stop. right. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored by capital airways, temperatures are on the rise, 1st, the audi. hello everyone, great to view it all has to do with this southerly push of their re add 28 degrees on saturday. look at q $827.00, and bach the $25.00. but all of this here means that sand and dust will be swirling around, and that's going to impact the visibility. this is a brief form up for re i. as we look toward monday, wind shift around to the northwest, so that drops your temperature to 22, which is more in line with where it should be for this some your things are settled

in pakistan, karachi at 27 degrees. and i think for iran western areas anyway, over the higher ground, we've got some rain and mountain snow to come. now that what, whether that was moving west east, across turkey, it's now dip to the south in the eastern med and you know, the name of the game, right? that shifts toward the east. and this becomes a story for the labatte. we've had high temperatures, central africa, juba bungie into a booge, i near record breaking temperatures beneath toko and gone on. it's going to be a what we can for eastern south africa. and then here's our remnants of what was the tropical cyclone slamming into central and northern mozambique. it's not a question if we'll see flooding, but just where and how much. and then our next tropical storm is creeping closer to madagascar looking to make landfall near the capital antenna rico. next week that shot the season, ah, the weather sponsored by katara ways, americans are increasingly saying authoritarianism might not be so bad. there were

several steps along the way where the chain of command, if you like, tried to cover it up. what's your take on why they've gotten this so wrong? that to me is political malpractice, the bottom line on us politics and policy, and the impact on the world on al jazeera, bold, and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera, discarded clothes from rich nations, are funneled through charities and sold to impoverished nations on an unprecedented scale, a massive industry sift through the unwanted garments to re sell to some of the world's poorest inhabitants. but much of what the rives is unfit for purpose and is fueling and environmental catastrophe. people have power troubles to gonna to uncover the dirty secrets behind the world's fashion addiction. that white man's clothes on. i just ita a

i was watching the algebra news out with me. the whole rom reminder of all top stories rushing back separatist leaders in eastern ukraine, say they meeting civilians to russia with the kremlin approval. that's been an increase in sharing between the ukranian government and the separatists. called for immediate, the escalation and ukraine have been fronting suntrust. they need security conference, un secretary general teddy could cherish the attention seem higher than during the cold war. and at least one person has been killed in ireland. still view this and lashes the region. the extreme weather has also his england parts of the roof of london arena of been ripped off by record wind

pretending to our top story, the crisis in ukraine. some ramadi is a military analyst, an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. enjoys me now from oxford, could help you from the program again. so just want to get your opinion radio, what you read into the requests from russian back separatists asking moscow to shelter women and children from the disputed area within ukraine. well, this action has not been clearly confirmed from the russians either russians as aim that they usually receive this request, but it appears as if there's trying to drum up a major threat of ukrainian invasion of don bass. and that since i've been, it's been going on for over a week. so well, whereas the last his vote was again, russia building ships in the granting border. the ad genius from the last regional authority to vote was an ukraine, amassing trips on the border with the ad dumbass republics, and shelling and easy and he's bar violations. and they're claiming that this is the imaginary and gesture to stop mass casualties. of course, i mean if invasion or incursion from any side is imminent, does somebody marriott,

with the joint statement that we heard from both russian and bella, russian presidents at a press conference earlier in the day where they were denying that they are not going to invade ukraine will actually consistent refrain from the russian side that this is all in syria. the zillow hawks, they're not going to invade. and this is good, maybe some validity to that. the mobilization of troops in the ukrainian border has happened before, like last spring. and it could be aimed at getting native security guarantees are putting pressure on the last. but it's really hard to know what to do next moves are because it looked as if he was not pulling back troops from crimea to chechnya . and now it appears that the total number of tubes at the highest level ever at a $190000.00. a susan, a question is a bit like how long is a piece of string. i mean, how do you see this playing out over the next few days or weeks? do you think conflict or a false flag incident? is a possibility. well, dentist could certainly be a major area where

a falls like incident could occur the leader then he has pupils republic guide and his michelin warranted their wandering. 30 mass graves that were carried out by the ukrainians last week. and basically yet used that as a call for action from russia, the russians are on the cost of potentially recognizing de yes and the landscape as independent states and debt. many russian lawmakers have said that if that happens military action as possible. so it's possible that the russians could stage a false flag where they appears that the ukrainians are posing the men threat death rations against the landscape or stage granting attack, and then use that as a pretext for a larger military intervention or invasion. right now it's really, charlie do tell and seems as if diplomacy might last a little longer. and some people were hearing. we've seen a lot of a diplomatic flurry in around europe, a north america over this issue at the moment it into, into russia as well. the munich security conference is ongoing at the moment in germany, a chance for many senior diplomats and politicians to actually see each other face

to face. how important is this gathering this year than it ever has been before considering what's going on in europe? well, the new security, however, is undoubtedly and important gathering. it's a good way for individual countries to explain their particular positions on the crisis, new grant. and for example, germany to our minister for better for worse, explain their decision not to army crane by saying that this is, that will work to responsibility for peace. but the big problem this time around is the fact that the russians, including vladimir putin, have largely ab boycotted this particular summit. and it's very interesting because it was ironically the media security conference 15 years ago or pollutant announced his anti western kelton foreign policy and announced rushes a return to the world stage, the great power so that is doubled. the impact of the summit has a banjo, voice forget, we shall see. what else comes out of the somebody in the coming days for the moment, mr. romani, thanks much for joining us. thank you very much. my protested. have

gathered and shake gentlemen a unoccupied east jerusalem to support a palestinian family being forcibly displaced from the home. tensions arising and then a boot with increase police on disraeli settler prisons. hurry fools, it has more. what's taken place has been a pretty large show of solidarity here in the form of outdoor friday prayers, which have broken up now. but at the height, around 200 people were here praying on pray match. the background to it is of course, the general situation in occupied east jerusalem with hundreds of families, potentially facing force displacement from their homes. and over the last year or so, this neighborhood of shakespeare has very much become the, the touchstone of the, the protests against that. and we saw in last april in may just how tense that situation could become. it was one of the, the triggers to the war that we saw between israel and fighting factions in gaza at

the moment, those tensions which are always there been sharpened by 2 things at attack alleged attack last friday, a week ago. and austin attack against the jewish settler home is where the police say they've now arrested for people in connection with that. and the response to that from a far right is ready. politician. it's been a member of the israeli parliament, the connecticut who has set up an open office on the grounds of the palestinian home. not very far from here, just a few dozen meters away from where the palestinians here have been gathering. he's been here all week in a deliberately provocative position, which he says is also to try to ensure the safety of settlers in this extremely volatile and divisive part of occupied east jerusalem court in india has sentenced 38 people to death and left more to life. in prison for the amat about bombings, 14 years ago, 56 people who are killed and at least 200 were injured in

a series of explosions in 2008 in the states of good route. 21 devices detonated in little more than an hour. the blast happened on buses and car parks and at a public hospital to the u. s. now where a police officer who killed a 20 year old black man in the state of minnesota is being sentence, the court is company hearing statements from dante rights, family is going straight to john 100. he's outside the court house in minneapolis and john the mood, some boys oppose, but everybody's attention is what's going on right inside the colt room. now it's right outside of the courtroom. it's well below freezing. here in minneapolis as is typical during winter, so we don't have an audience here is we often have it previous trials at this very same spot. but around town there is a sense of nervous anticipation. now the trials like this have led to protests in

this street. that's unlikely to happen on this time because this is such an unusual case. kim potter is accused of mistaking her gun for her taser. she called out taser taser taser, and then she fired as dante wright was apparently trying to leave the scene of a traffic stop. so in doing so, she shot him, killed him instantly, and then recognized she did so on a police body camera said, oh no, i shot him. and so there's not the same sense as we've had in previous transit. this was a deliberate killing of a black man by a white police officer, and yet the family has been making victim impact statements. his mother, his father, his brother, all saying, it doesn't matter that this was a mistake. this was a 26 year police veteran. this was such an egregious incident that a precedent must be sat in this case. so those are the statements of the family of
