9:03 pm
only one of them was on the scene on the night of the shooting on the families lawyer and her mother say they are one step closer to justice. we've been saying it since 2020. we've been sand a blad. we've been sam. brianna was not involved, we been saying they should not be at brianna's home. we've been saying that officer should be held accountable for brianna taylor's murder. and today is the 1st day towards getting digestive in this country on this day in this city, in lowville, kentucky, we have been vindicated. there is justice for us. somebody was wrong, and not only were they wrong, not only good law, but they attempted to cover it up, they have been lying to you, and the shock here is not that has happened. the shock is that it is expo, a bank that we have to talk about. it has
9:04 pm
been exposed to what i say to america. what are we missing? so as we celebrate and congratulate and we must take a moment to breathe, we must take some time to cry. we must have, we have to have time to recover and to heal. because let me say to you, all this has been traumatic. this is a traumatic being black in a country that over and over again tells you your life does not matter. and listening to me, it should not have taken the f b. i to lead this into this investigation. we're going to cross live now to rosalind jordan. rosalind, what more details can you tell us? well, of the 4 officers, one is accused of firing his gun recklessly into brianna taylor's apartment in march 2020. while they were trying to carry out a search warrant, looking for a drug dealer whom brianna taylor had known,
9:05 pm
but whom the officers did know that tom had not been at her residence for some time, that they were using, allegedly, a faulty search warrant. the other 3 officers are accused of conspiring to basically cover up that fact that the information and the search warrant was bad and that they needed to try to conceal the fact that they knew that they were using a faulty search warrant to local, state and federal investigators, now all of this means that they are now facing federal charges for allegedly violating the civil rights of brianna taylor and her boyfriend that night. and as well as facing conspiracy and obstruction charges of the charges a range from. if they're convicted 5 years on the obstruction and lying to investigators charges and up to 20 years for the reckless endangerment and violation of civil rights. and rosalind,
9:06 pm
what happens led to social unrest and protests, which still very much resonates to day, doesn't it? it does at the time of brianna taylor's murderer, it did not a warrant. a lot of publicity nationwide publicity, i should say. but 2 months later, george ford was murdered by a police officer in minneapolis. and that combination really did set off a wave of protests across the united states, not just against endemic racism in the united states, but also against police brutality efforts in the, on the federal level to try to address both have been a mixed at best. the bind administration has tried to push for ra topper raw regulations governing what local police departments can do, but that's been a very difficult row to hoe as it were in congress because there is a strong pro poli saw contention among the members of both the house of
9:07 pm
representatives and the u. s. senate rose in jordan law for us in washington dc. thank you very much. indeed for that. now there are growing tensions between at china and united states, the chinese ambassador to the you and says he hopes us will draw lessons from the situation in the taiwan straits, where beijing is now conducting live fire drills. well, this show of military might comes to us hours of the house because nancy lazy ended her controversial trip to type a visit. that infuriated china tiwana says that chinese naval ships and miniature aircraft made several incursions to its territorial waters earlier. another senior chinese diplomat described, closes trip as manic, irresponsible, and irrational. a series of drills are focused in 6 exclusions zones that surround taiwan. 3 of the zones overlap areas at taiwan says a part of its territorial waters in someplace is just 20 kilometers off shore
9:08 pm
drills include long range live ammunition shooting into the taiwan strait. china has warned all vessels to avoid the area for 72 hours. nearly half the global container fleet passes through this waterway every year. well, japan's defense ministry speculated that at for chinese miss solves flu overtime. hey, ty, one's capital city, the islands, president sy, in when the said it would firmly defend its sovereignty. and national security can, can, don't go with that. i wasn't dolby and kinky today. china has conducted live fire exercises around taiwan, this deliberate and continuous increase in military threats. miss all launching on the world's busiest shipping lanes is not only against taiwan, but also against the international community. these are irresponsible actions. now our army has strengthened its combat readiness. the army will keep a close watch on all surrounding military movements. we are also in close contact
9:09 pm
with our allies and work together to prevent the security situation from escalating in the region. bottle of kristen salome joins us now from the united nations. kristen, i understand you've been speaking with the chinese ambassador to the un. what more did he tell you? yes, i spoke to china's un ambassador zang june, and he made it very clear that china wanted to send a message to the united states. that it should not interfere or support any attempts by taiwan to claim independence. and that they instead should support the longstanding one china policy. i pressed him on the 5 missiles that japan says landed in. it's an exclusive economic zone, the waters around japan, one of them they say, flew directly over taiwan. i pressed him about that. and whether that was an, as a response that was suitable. and he was very insistent that it was
9:10 pm
a legitimate response. here's what he had to say. we hope that the united states will draw a lesson from such a situation that nearly they, they should honor their commitment on the one china principal and not to support. and they had my independence attempts to. we hope they will stop doing. i'm the st. further, under my in charge of solvent in territory integrity and that i think the messages were clear. and kristen has there been any reaction from the un over this increased attention in the straight? well, we know that secretary general antonio gutierrez says, watching the situation closely. and with concern, those are the words that were used by his spokesperson, when asked about the situation, an antonio gutierrez himself has been asked about the rising tensions in the region
9:11 pm
. ah, he has been very careful and guarded in his comments. walking a line between the 2 great powers, the united states and china. here at the un, he's referred to the u n's policy. going back to 971 as laid out in the rules here to honor china's won a china policy. this is why taiwan does not have representation here at the united nations in the security council certainly has been silent on the issue as well. they could perhaps a requote the have a meeting if the united states requested it. i'm but i don't think it's likely, especially given a china holds the presidency of the security council this month, that we'll see any open meetings or just erg statements on it from the security council. okay. questions? let me live for us on the un. thank you. now what's happening in the taiwan straits
9:12 pm
is also being fell to non pen where a sin, foreign ministers on meeting, but china's foreign minister walked out before the start of the gone a dinner florence louis has more from the cambodian capital one foreign ministers of the association of southeast asia, nations are urging restraint in the taiwan strait in a statesman. as in member said, they are concerned volatility. there could lead to miscalculation an open conflict, but they were careful not to take sides, reaffirming their support for the one china policy while remaining silent on you as how speaker nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. china has used the meetings impact on pen as an opportunity to show up support in exchange for economic investments in the region. or we don't really, we don't. golden vander, we will focus on pushing for high quality development. build new development paradigm provide bigger momentum for regional and global economic recovery and provide more development opportunities for us and countries. immigration,
9:13 pm
but chinese diplomacy was not extended to all. its minister cancelled a meeting with japan at the last minute to register displeasure with a statement issued by g 7 nations, of which japan is a part about policies visit to tie $11.00. the u. s. has sought to diffuse tensions . it's reiterated. it's commitment to the one china policy, while adding it's supposed to any move that will challenge tie once status. and i hope very much that a vision will now manufacturer crisis, so see a pretext to increase it. grosses military activity are we in countries around the world believe the escalation serves no one and could have unintended consequences to serve no one's interests, including us young members. and including try. that statement is unlikely to go down. well with beijing. russia has voiced its support for china,
9:14 pm
defending its right to hold military drills around, tie one, and accusing the u. s. of fueling tensions in the region. the meetings and non pen are supposed to be a platform for top, diplomats to hash out solutions to problems facing the region and the wider world from tensions in the taiwan strait. the crisis in myanmar and the war in ukraine, but to which some of the world's major powers declining to hold one on one meetings in cambodia. even the best diplomats will likely find this a tough mission. florence li, al jazeera and on pen 20 more ahead on the news hour, including anger in johannesburg after the gang rape of 8 women, police arrest more than $120.00 suspects in the bank of england warns of recession as it announces its biggest interest rate. hi can 27 years. thus the perfect debut
9:15 pm
for the space, hold letter in santiago, warner canadian is pool. ah, a russian court has sentenced american basketball star, brittany griner to 9 years in prison for possessing and smuggling drugs. while this comes after moscow, airport security staff are found as vapor cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. she was also find at 15 and a half a $1000.00 to tom olympic champion had been detained for nearly 6 months. you s described the court ruling as a miscarriage of justice. while the head of the sentencing greiner spoke on camera for the 1st time since being arrested back in february. i want to say that i have no intent on breaking any russian law. no intent, i do not conspire or plan to commit this crime. i know what everybody keeps talking
9:16 pm
about. local pon in politics, but i hope that that is far from this courtroom. they can take into account all the document, all the characters that everybody that sent in on my behalf. i made an honest mistake and i hope that in your room and in my wife michael mccann joins his life not from massachusetts. he's a law professor under rector of the sports and entertainment law institute. he joins us now. thanks very much need for being with us. to what extent would you say this sentence was expected? it was expected to be long and that we knew she was facing 5 to 10 years in prison . and also as she acknowledged, she admitted that she made a mistake. she an innocent mistake perhaps and that she rushed to pack. but it wasn't a case where there was a question about guilt. the question was really whether or not the sentence was
9:17 pm
going to be closer to 5 years or closer to 10. unfortunately, for herds closer to 10, at presuming the u. s. government will continue its efforts to try and secure her release. yeah, i think it's very clear that the government and particularly president biden has made it clear that her release is a priority. and the president has been involved in a personal way in this matter. he has made it almost a political issue perhaps. so my sense is that the government will continue to negotiate with russian authorities on some type of prisoner swap. i don't think he's going to spend 9 years of her life in russia, but maybe she spends weeks or months, or hopefully not for her years, but some significant period of time. but it's clear that the u. s. government is interested in some sort of prisoner swap. well, in indeed is that prison a swap? still a possibility. do you think i do?
9:18 pm
i think it is one. the govern. u. s. government has classified her as wrong to be detained, which means the fact that she was convicted, the fact that she's been sentenced has no baring on the us government's efforts to, to, to secure her release. essentially, the conviction and sentence are relevant for purposes of the us government's interest in securing her release. i do think there are negotiations between the 2 countries. obviously we're at a time in history where the u. s. and russia have very bad relations that doesn't help. but even in spite of that in may, there was a prisoner swap between the us and russia, where trevor read was held, and russia was brought home in exchange for a russian prisoner. so there is precedent for it happening and i think it will happen here to, i mean, there is precedent, but how much more difficult is this now as you say, with the war in ukraine? a lot more difficult because the political stakes are higher. each country is
9:19 pm
seeking advantage over the other and neither wants to do a trade that looks like its lopsided in one favor or the other. so the good relations, or, you know, obviously, you know, having old enough to grow up in the cold war, the u. s. and brush have not had good relations for a while, but it's particularly bad. now. i still think though, that at the end of the day there's commonsensical thinking, where both countries have interest in securing prisoners that are being held in the other. and at some point, i would like to think pragmatic thinking takes over. ok, marco mccann, in massachusetts. thank you for that insight. thank you. south african police are trying to stop vigilante attacks or suspected illegal minors. the township nature hunters book, it follows the gang rape of a women narrow minded last week. more than $120.00 suspects pleased to be illegal.
9:20 pm
miners have been arrested from the miller has more form carissa. this situation, your income he saw in the will stand up to have is what is quite volatile. i just behind us is a large group of community members. we've also seen a sales team people they alleged to be illegal minus amazon as, as they're known here. they say not only are they mining illegally at disused mind sharps trying to find gold, but they're also according to the people who are terrorizing the community. they accused these illegal minors of killing people in the area of raping women. here. people here say they're not safe and now they've come out and you see a number of police vehicles. they've had to use stun grenades and tear gas to dr. disposed people. but a lot of these community members have come out. they say they've had enough. and because police, according to them, are not doing enough, they are taking matters into their own hands. and he said,
9:21 pm
2 more grain silos have collapsed in the lebanese port of bay route. it happened on the 2nd anniversary of the explosion there, but killed more than 200 people, an injured thousands more to the fathers have been on fire for weeks since hot weather ignited fermenting grey left inside a turkish merchant ship is expected to arrive in the ukrainian black sea port of china mos on friday on stairs will collect ukrainian grain intended for export. it will be the 1st vessel to arrive at a ukrainian port since the war began to appear in the un broker, the deal between russia and ukraine to allow for green shipments aiming to ease the global food crisis. now the bank of england is projecting that the u. k. economy was slipping to a session or the end of the year. its height. the interest rate by half percentage point is biggest jump since 1995 move is aimed at calming the u. case,
9:22 pm
worst inflation in 40 years. central banks around the world have been pushing up rates to curb spending and bring down prices. and you, simmons has more from london. aside from this, sir, increase in the interest rates, which is the highest, the 27 years the highest rise in 27 years. there is a warning of this recession of prediction, if you will, that it will start in the last 3 months of this year. go right the way through 2023 and that still will be a problem at the beginning of 2024. now this is on a par with the 2008 financial crisis for the u. k. a however, it's shallow. that crisis is more in line with what happened to the 19 ninety's, another recession there. what will happen for people in the u. k? well, they're going to find that their wages aren't keeping pace with the cost of living . that's already the case. now we're seeing lots of industrial disputes because of
9:23 pm
that, that will continue. the real killer blow though is the cost of energy, and that's down to the russian war against ukraine having a major effect. let's just take a look at the a system that works in the u. k. to cat energy bills. annual figures are going up from 2 or a half 1000 us $1.00 to $4200.00 so so this sudden increased on energy bills. colossal it costs more than $120.00 to fill up the average fuel tank at the moment. that is another major area. furthermore, there is a whole question mark about how people can really afford food bills across the u. k. so this is for develop country, a serious crisis by inflation, which banks have been trying to control, has been rising around the world. it typically reflects the overall increase in prices during a given period of time. united states,
9:24 pm
the consumer price index reached 9 point one percent the 12 months ending in june of 40 year record high inflation hit 8.9 percent across the eurozone to ny another. all time high and one more sign the box economy is slowing down. and in the u. k, the annual rate, which 9.4 percent at the end of last month's freshman in greg swenson, he's the founding partner of brig mcadam, emerging market investment banking firm based in london. he joins us not from chicago. we very much appreciate your time here. so who suffers most when it comes to rising inflation and why? oh, surely it's the working class and the poor because they spend more of their paychecks on food and energy and basic needs, you know, like rent. so it's, it's just a greater percentage of their income. so when you see inflation kick in,
9:25 pm
whether it's the headline numbers or 9 point one percent us or even cor inflation. you know, those are the people that suffer the most. the wealthy don't really spend a higher percentage of their paycheck on basic guidance so they can live through inflation. in fact, in manner respects they benefit from inflation because with a consumer inflation, there's often asset inflation. so it really hurt the. ready working class and the for carry on can inflation have a real impact on the government's popularity cannot put pressure on their foreign policy? we see high gas prices, for example, at the moment. yeah. oh absolutely. i mean, in terms of semester policy, i mean, you know, the, the incumbent government always suffers and will basically take the blame for inflation. you're seeing that in the u. s. for example, inflation in the economy or the number one issue for the majority of americans ranks higher than any other topics in the u. k,
9:26 pm
you're seeing massive criticism of the conservative government, which hasn't really governed with conservative supply side principles. so yeah, it will have massive effect on the electoral prospects of these and company governments, the conservatives in u. k. and, and the democrats in the us. but also, you know, you mentioned foreign policy. of course, you know, raising rates is going to create some real pain for the emerging markets as their current to start to be valued and their, their service cost increase, their dollar dollar just service. and then of course, you buy them and the administration as well as your p and governments begging putin initially before the war, begging the oil back in 2021. and since then, begging the, the leaders in the middle east, opec plus as well as that as well. and, and iran to palm morrow. so, you know, these are not good moments for western governments that have basically decreased
9:27 pm
their own energy production and kept their foot on the neck of domestic energy producers. but at the same time, they're begging foreign dictators. the more. so it's not a good book, given what you say, it's a difficult balancing act then. so what's the solution? well, i think there was a few things. one is, you know, unfortunately the bed and other central banks to b o. e, the bank of england as well as the c big are going to have to hi crates you saw today with a 50 basis points. that's the highest in, you know, since 1995, they've increased race 6 straight quarters. that's the kind of paying you're just going to have to tolerate the fed, for example, you know, raise rates 75 base points, 2 weeks ago, a 2nd meeting in a row. so that's going to be the near term that the banks are going to have to raise rates, but more importantly, perhaps it's just 2 things stopping the reckless government spending from,
9:28 pm
from the western governments. and also, you really have to stop the hostility to the supply side. and that's something that people often overlook their overly dependent on the, on the central banks, to reduce inflation by hiking rates. that doesn't always work, you need to liberate the supply side. you have to stop some of the hostility to the private sector like a corporate taxes, for example. so now there's, there's a multi pronged you know, type of approach. it's not just raising rates. greg swenson in chicago. we very much appreciate your analysis here today on i'm to finger. karen said i had her on al jazeera. we talked to long cove itself, was in the u. k. as a nun was reach 1800000 and in sport will bring you all the tennis section from washington. when only favorite continues to let ah
9:29 pm
the of parts of the middle east temperatures in some spots are running about 10 degrees above average have one. here's the details on friday, so blocked at at 52 degrees q weight at 50. that's while above where you should be for this time of the year. got to tell you, i think there's a very real risk of seen some flooding in demons. capital sun out with these bursts of range your rate through to the he jazz mountains. now i want to take you through the gulf states. the winds are going to shift around south for the house. so that's going to ramp up your temperature to $41.00 degrees. this is a day forward on saturday, and there's that flooding, rain potential on either side of the red sea as it carries through on saturday. the rain starting to wind down for portions of buckets done. we do have sun bursts of rain to be found, but the bulk of the energy will stay toward the northwest of india. next, stop or go into turkey and we've got just
9:30 pm
a mix of sun in cloud through its stumble. 30 degrees, some showers across turkeys, black seacoast, but nothing major. central africa looks like this. of course, we've had that flooding in eastern uganda, especially around lake victoria. but these bursts of rain coming off the ethiopian highlands, and just moving further toward the west. and as we check in on south africa hate now plenty of sun cape town, looking good with the high a 15 on friday season. ah! unbelievable. it sounds like an agreement between criminal, both like trading in stolen goods that have been taken by the police. if anyone ever comes to ask the question, they just sort of throw their hands up in the air and say, i don't know, i was just nominee director, were doing an investigation into a ukraine. could you? i bribes, you've been corrupt. i'd be not cut up. i did just presidency al jazeera
9:31 pm
9:32 pm
police officers have been charged with their role in the fatal shooting. aubriana taylor taylor was shot dead in her home at louisville, kentucky, and 2020 a death led to mass protests across the us. taiwan government says the ardent won't be intimidated by china's military exercises. beijing has run that live ammunition is taiwan straight. a date of us house beacon, nancy lucy left titania russian quarter sentence, american basketball style brittany granite and 9 years imprisonment. drugs charges rested in february after a forced off found vapor cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. latest figures in the u. k. show that 1800000 people are suffering from long cove. it medical experts say it's a global problem and governments must make the same effort to combat the long term illness. i say i did to fight the original outbreak. so you
9:33 pm
the pandemic that changed the world and is still affecting hundreds of millions of lives. yet out of those who recovered from infection and numbers to come to another phenomenon, post cove, it syndrome like the majority of those diagnosed with long covert shanie right, wasn't hospitalized yet 2 years on a lack of understanding about post covered syndrome has left him dealing with a condition that impacts his daily life. there are no effect of treatment for the 30 illness itself. or doctors can try and do his target specific symptoms, but most of the symptoms they have no treatment is also the lack of understanding around the condition. and doctors have very little insight into what he on the line dr. is all for a personal perspective, dealing with post code syndrome has been a very frustrating experience. it's debilitating and also extremely unpredictable.
9:34 pm
and even though the relapse is become part of day to day life, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with a so many of us can confirm. and while research has are at the forefront of trying to find a treatment, they say that there needs to be a drastic rethink and how will deal with this on a societal level. rub book now this is a physiotherapist helping patients with long cove it and is himself living with the condition. he has seen a rapid rise in those seeking help and knows how it's affecting those who are trying to return to normal life to their employment. only to relapse through the effort, they can do things and just the things are going to take a tour on them. it's really about getting people to eat by, from the intensity of doing whether it's walking different patterns. and so that there may be work in 2 days a week, but via our experts in the field. i'm
9:35 pm
a pete accordingly. so the not having the financial hurt, cuz lots of people of feeling been really struggling financially. no grass roots groups have also been crucial. journalist nor in jameel, set up a podcast the long cope. it's sessions for patients desperate for support. it's now being used by health practitioners as a source of information. you know, we're looking at $1.00 and $5.00 according to the cdc of people developing a postscript syndrome that is a massive cohort or long credit community, their application for themselves. meanwhile, the increasing numbers are requiring defined strategies like those put in place at the start of the pandemic to deal with post cove. it syndrome. well, those affected wait for no answer to this mass, disabling event. sunny guy. yeah. go out to sara london. that's bringing that caitlin joe. selina, she's an epidemiologist and the assistant professor at the university of texas. first, she joined us not from san diego. thanks for being on the program. how concerned
9:36 pm
should we be about long we should be concerned long co lead among adults is common and it's broad and it's impact on the body. and it's making it very difficult to not only diagnose long covert but also study it i and find treatments. but what is clear is that it's going to be a major public health problem and will contribute to the health footprint of service because the to 4 years to come. so what have we learned so far in terms of the way long cove? it needs to be managed just like you heard a couple minutes ago. we don't know what's really causing this. it could be because of viral pres, reservoirs in the body. it could be because the immune system and people are just in overdrive and have a tough time coming down after cuban 19 infection. we don't know what's really
9:37 pm
causing this, making it very difficult to find treatments. so currently what were they approach is is comprehensive treatment. so having multi disciplinary groups of doctors to help treat people as well as treating symptoms. unfortunately, we are yet to treat the underlying cause yet, not the moment. there's a long over monkey pox, isn't them? and does the covert experience give us any kind of head start testing? you know, you would hope so. i think that the united states right now is somewhere in the middle of between being prepared and being unprepared. just like coven 19 the money . he puts outbreak in the united states is really highlighting, are neglected or under funded and are really fragmented public health system in the united states. it desperately needs fixing like data like communication, like bureaucracy, coordination,
9:38 pm
like trust and fixing this is complicated. it's expensive and more importantly, it just takes time. it cannot be fixed overnight regardless, it has been very difficult to watch, but i think it's important that we're not starting from scratch. we spent the last 30 months, creating systems building capacity. and we really need to reactivate these or adapt these efforts to pivot towards monkey pox. we also really just need to be more aggressive or at least faster than the federal sponsor. we can no longer have this weight in c method in the united states. so what extent will vaccines continue to be the weapon of choice for governments? i think it will still be the weapon of choice. i mean whether it's coven, 19 or monkey pox. and one of the reasons for this is that because it, it does a very good job of preventing eye infection and then preventing severe disease. and
9:39 pm
that, that's one of our strongest layers of protection. unfortunately it's not 100 percent protective. and so we need other layers like secondary layers like masking. i but i'm very confident and i think that's the right approach in taking a number one priority to vaccines. ok, caitlin, just me now. thanks very much for joining us. yeah, thank you for having me. in the us state of dallas, the conservative political action conference is getting on the way. it's the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the nation, and it's being held a 3 months ahead of mid term elections. former president donald trump is expected to attend the closing event on saturday. when she had returned, c is darren joins us live from dallas. so what's the mood that she, how the head of this image and the next
9:40 pm
celebrate tree? i would say they really failed the democrats blueness, not least because of the concerns about inflation and the economy. some of those aspects supply chains, cooper, gouging may have been out of biden's control. but anyway, even amongst telegraph, his responses thought have been too passive. so there's that, but also because of biden's favorability ratings going into those midterms. it's true in recent weeks. we've seen some resurgence perhaps of a hope for the democrats that might be a complete route, but as long as biden saver ability, if so, not even a majority of democrats don't want him to run great confidence in moving over the next couple of months. the republicans have this to, to lose it. yes, they may, somebody have concerns about abortion. there may be other issues here, but in the end, with biking in the ends at the top of the ticket. this being a referendum on him may have this to with in addition, specifically here, this is
