12:00 am
felt was different from what happened in the past. oh, most definitely. i mean the record speaks for the record speaks for itself. i can't think of any other case other than george floyd which was again, so sort of one of the more heinous cases as well. but even their case took a little while, right. i can't. i think i'm hard pressed to think of a case that has, that has moved as swiftly as swiftly as this one. again, the, the work of the activists here on the ground. thanks to the work of, of so many of the folks who were mentioned in the, in, during the funeral. who brought this case. who brought this case to lights up for me. that's the 1st back. right. if those, if those folks had not pushed to get this case a little more notoriety then who knows. busy what would have had dr. charles mckinney thank you very much indeed for joining us here. i'm just a really appreciate your time. thank you for the 1st responders who stood by and did nothing as to how real life was being taken read. so use our collect divorces.
12:01 am
i'm orientated this is that the algae or news our lie from london coming up. ah. use it emotion and anger at the funeral of tyree nichols in memphis and a call for reform of policing in america. you don't stand up to the industry. we common bogs yourself, you case, largest coordinated strike action in a generation half a 1000000 people walk out demanding better pay and conditions for francis meets victims of war and the democratic republic of congo and condemns brutal atrocities in the east of the country. and the climax over 50000 year journey, this green tinge comment makes its closest approach to earth. allen sport 7 times super bowl champion, tom brady retires again. and the 45 year old nfl, sorry,
12:02 am
made the announcement v as social media insisting this time it's for good. ah reagan, this news hour in memphis, tennessee, with the funeral of 29 year old tyree nichols who died are to being beaten by police officers. ah, among those speaking with civil rights activists, al sharpton, he delivered a eulogy for the man whose death is spot, renewed outcry against police brutality in the u. s. i know what i saw on the tape and the tape speaks for itself.
12:03 am
may never, it does mean for his license never ag for the car registration, smacked tim out of the. com. but you don't fight crime by becoming criminals yourself. you know, stand no to dogs. industry become an thugs yourself. you know, freight gay by becoming fab. ah men against the on army? that a the poll least those punks move monsters, murder, my maybe brother did love me completely.
12:04 am
oh, i see the world shown him well friday for his chest is but um, what is my baby barely bed and even in his the my he was feel polite. he accepts a place. 6 public young man, he always worked as he actually stacked in it. gabrielle on jones's live now from memphis, and we heard there some of the moving tributes from family members and an attempted to try and show what the life of terry nichols was. not just that the brutal death that he suffered. that's right, this was billed as really a celebration of tyree nichols of life. not his death. and that's exactly what i
12:05 am
think you saw particularly poignantly at the end. when his 2 sisters are that we just heard from there in that quip and 2 brothers of his really opened up a brief statement, but powerful, talking about how hard it was to lose their sibling in this manner. and then also hearing of course, from his step father and then at the very end his mother. but we haven't heard from a lot because it's been very difficult for her as we can all certainly imagine struggling because it was her youngest son, tyree nichols and her talking about how hard it was choking back tears as she tried to explain what she was feeling right now, so certainly you got a better sense of who tyree nichols was, you know, an advocate skateboarder someone that was clearly a very,
12:06 am
as we heard over and over some of the young man it was very polite. and of course, a father of a 4 year old. so you really got a sense of what he was like as a person in this, a moral service that i should say, lasted almost exactly 3 hours and gave birth. the reverend al sharpton tackled head on dingy the fact that in this case, the 5 officers who have not been charged with 2nd degree murder. well, we're also black. yeah, that's right. he said that the essentially, how could this have been done to tie re, nichols by 5 in his words, black brothers, 5 other black men, especially in the city of memphis or dr. martin luther king. of course, the famous civil rights leader was killed here over 40 years ago. and he mentioned that, you know, martin luther king and other civil rights activists through the decades. fotz,
12:07 am
and in some cases gave their lives, in order to get african americans jobs or positions in power such as being on police forces. and now they are police officers, in some cases in the city of memphis. the police chief is an african american woman . and now these 5 black officers could do this when they have this position of power to another black man. so he certainly tackled that head on. and i think what we heard, it was very interesting throughout this as well, including from vice president, comma la harris, who gave some brief remarks, is that they're talking about legislation. and that's something that we have not heard in previous memorial services for or african americans that have been victims of police brutality like this in recent years. at least not in this scale. i think there's a sense now it's simply calling for justice is one thing. but getting legislation
12:08 am
passed nationally that will really hold police accountable when they are accused of wrongdoing is key. and they mentioned things like a qualified immunity which police officers have in the united states. essentially what that is, it's very hard for police to be brought to justice and faced justice when they are accused of wrong doing that needs to end according to almost every speaker that we've heard from here. essentially they're saying that police officers should have to abide by the same laws and be held accountable, but to the same laws that anyone else are in the united states. and right now they're not. once they put on that badge, they have some immunity. and also the george floyd justice and policing act named after george ford. of course it was killed in 2020 in minneapolis, minnesota. when he was killed by a white police officer there, some legislation there was going to reform policing. that legislation passed the
12:09 am
house of representatives. but what was failed in the then republican controlled senate, there is now renewed call to get that legislation back in congress and get it passed again. that would be a sweeping piece of legislation. probably the the biggest in, in a generation. quite frankly, that would reform policing throughout the united states. and in terms of the, the, the situation in this case, the, the unit that these police officers were part of has been disbanded. doesn't tell us a bit about the, the repercussions kind of more locally from, from this particular incident. yeah, the scorpion unit is, it was called was a specialized unit with in many memphis police department. there was assigned to high crime areas and it was meant to be to crack down on
12:10 am
criminality in high crime areas. these all 5 of the officers that were involved in this case were part of that unit. and it was considered essentially by activists here, a renegade road unit. one lawyer that i spoke to said it was essentially in his words, almost like a gang within the police force. those are his terms to a lawyer. i spoke to that, but that unit has been disbanded. activists were calling for it to be disbanded for a long time, even before the death of tyree nichols. but the police chief disbanded it just last week, permanently here in memphis. the police force is about 50 percent african american in a city that is about 65 percent african american. so there's a lot of soul searching going on here right now. and there is, i will say, some praise bye, not only tyree nichols, family,
12:11 am
but his lawyers and even some active here. praise that the police department did respond quickly. within a matter of 20 days, the 5 officers were fired from the force they were arrested, and criminal charges were pressed against them. so there has been some level of accountability here, and it's in one ways, according to the family, and to ben crump their lawyer. it's almost a model for how it should be done in the future for other police forces. but certainly, i can say here in memphis, there's a lot of pain, quite frankly, that they've had to go through this. if they're going through this as a city city that's quite frankly, very pride for city. there's a long history of course of fighting for civil rights. and so i think that now the cities sort of come to grips with where they are moving forward in this. but certainly there's, there's a sense here of wanting to in memphis, at least wanting to take this national. i say this movement for police reform,
12:12 am
national camera on to thank you very much indeed. coming up on this news out from london. i couldn't believe it. i, i didn't want to bluetooth brother tells of his family's grief. we speak with every day ukrainians dying for their country. and his sport, the fee for club world cup begins in morocco action from the opening game nation program. ah. the u. k is experienced, its largest coordinated strike action in a generation up to half a 1000000 train and bus drivers, civil servants, university lecturers and security guards walked off the job in dispute over pay jobs and working conditions. the trade unions conduct congress which represents most trade unions in england, and wales opposes
12:13 am
a proposed law that would require unions to provide minimum levels of service on strike days or a $100000.00 teachers stage. the 1st strike in schools in england, wales for more than 6 years. they were given a 5 percent pay rise last year, but want and above inflation increase of more than 10 percent. and the mother has more oh, smiling through the colds. but normally samarra and her colleagues at the school were pupils with special needs would be in sight. we want to pay royce that meets the rising cost of living and treats people in the profession. i've had to make he sacrifices, i've actually watch t jobs and for, by the years now to be able to get to the keeper rebate my head to be able to put fuel in my car so that i can actually get to work. even friends of mine, he have been teachers 43 years, have decided that it's just not for them because they genuine, he cannot bear the stress and the, the overload and or, and the what played that,
12:14 am
that they are expected to do. thousands of teachers and their families marched in london on wednesday, many stress payroll. this should be far higher than the 5 percent offered for last year. and be paid by the government. not comfortable ready, stretch school budgets. that pipe and pay came eligible budget. so what you're doing is you're taking wake me things to be in the teachers, and i'm not good enough. my mom's name and like, it's just, she works so much emotional dimensions. you have to think like doing so much more than ever applies to. these teachers are making sure that to melinda, heard on what is clearly a sizable demonstration, number of industrial action, taking in various parts of the economy or coating on the government for pay rises that lead to inflation. the government insist is bound by the recommendations of the pay review body, even though it's constrained by the financial remit. ministers gave it the
12:15 am
independent pay review body recommended 5 percent fixed payments teaches an 8.9 percent for new teachers. there's also progression pay within those salary bands as well. so 40 percent of classroom teachers will actually be getting pay rises up to 15.9 percent this year for the national education union that's far from good enough . they accused ministers of refusing meaningful talks. they called to do dial down the rhetoric dial down and down to teach 10. they got to start to get into the room . i'm the lunch about the time of the resources to negotiate assessment. so at the moment there is not an offer on the table that you can put to them. so the snow actually for this year, adding days, a delay, they should have public service. i believe what your friday i haven't published it . the next education strike is due at the end of the month. if there's no movement of pe, you will likely to be seeing more protests. look just from people like tomorrow, but work as in other key professions who at least for now enjoy brought support
12:16 am
from the public. the dean bother al, jazeera london f. b. i has found no classified documents. dr. search of a beach house owned by u. s. president joe biden, the search was bought a special council investigation into his handling of classified material buttons. personal attorney said the president gave his full support and cooperation to the investigation. last month f e. i. agents found several classified documents in biden's home in wilmington, kimberly alcott has more from washington, dc. what i can tell you is that the f b, i did go there. they did not pick up any documents with any sort of classified markings on them. but there were some hand written notes that were taken from the president's residence there. the beach house, as it's known in robust beach, delaware. these handwritten notes pertain to time when the president was, in fact,
12:17 am
vice president under brock obama. now it's important to note that the president, according to his attorney, was aware of this search. it was consensual, the president was cooperative. and this is part of an ongoing search of a number of locations including his private residence in wilmington, delaware. this follows her search where there was also a turning up of documents in a think tank in washington d. c, which really sort of set all of this off of the think tank known as the pen biden's center. and this sort of culminated in is search for documents that prompted the attorney general merit garland to look into whether there has been a mis handling of classified documents by joe biden. not only pertaining to his time, his vice president, but also his time as a u. s senator as well. joe biden and u. s. house speaker kevin mccarthy. a meeting for the 1st time since they took their respective positions. relations between democrats and republicans,
12:18 am
a tense because of differences over the debt ceiling. my cannon joins us from washington dc. so to tell us what this is all about. well, the meeting began an hour ago. it's the 1st time that president biden has set down with the newly appointed speaker of the house. and the issue here is the debt ceiling. now last month the government reached its debt ceiling, that's the amount of debt that it can borrow. and this set up a conflict with the republican run house in june. the house can then determine whether to freeze the debt ceiling or to allow it to be raised. now to freeze, it would mean that the government defaults on its debt, which would have massive national and indeed global consequences. so president biden is meeting the lead of the house today to start exploring ways in which the republicans can agree to raise the debt ceiling without any concessions. now, the republicans are intent on cutting federal spending. this is something that
12:19 am
they've made very clear in recent months, and they want to use the issue of the debt ceiling to get concessions from the bite and government, the biden government and says they will be no concessions that the debt ceiling should be raised as it was 3 times when president trump was in power and that they should know be no concessions involved. now we understand that president biden's aid sent a memorandum to the speaker of the house yesterday in which had said the 2 major points in this meeting. firstly, all republicans going to commit to the government paying its debts. and secondly, when will the republicans issue their budget, the way they see federal spending should be going. so, i mean you've, you've had on some of the reasons why this meeting is important, but it does have a kind of, is there something else that we wish we're looking out for now, it's absolutely critical on one level to see how the bite and administration is
12:20 am
going to work together with a republican controlled house. now this is a particularly major issue, not only for the debt ceiling, although that is the most pressing issue. but generally how the by then administration can press ahead with its legislative agenda in the months to come. that is very dependent on its relationship with the house. now remembering that with the debt ceiling issue, for example, if the republican dominated house agrees to raise that debt ceiling, then it goes to the senate, which is democrat controlled. it need 60 boats in the senate, but there's another issue here which is very important and which president vine is going to be discussing with the house speaker. and that is the republicans incredibly, their. busy majority in the house, and that puts them at the mercy of the extreme right conservatives in the house who got concessions that is believe from the speak of the house in order to make him the speaker during that drawn out election process. president biden's going to be
12:21 am
asking the speaker for the house. to what extent are these far right wing members of the republican party fitting the agenda? they want to cut in military spending, for example, they want to cut in medicaid. they want to cut in very essential things like social security, moderate republicans do not want to cut military spending because he himself has made clear he opposed to cutting medicaid or social security. so these are the issues that bite and we'll be talking about over the next hour. i can, i thank you very much indeed. but frances has criticized brutal atrocities in eastern democratic republic of congo otter meeting victims of war in kinshasa. he also celebrated mass with a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. welcome web reports from the thousands of people gathered in a field in kinshasa to celebrate mass with pope frances seem to visiting

indigenous lands in the amazon. and it's not about just that. it's not just about now the consequences of the expansion of illegal gold mining in the amazon over the past few years will linger and will require massive concrete action from the government if we want to properly address this challenge. so you said that you told about the consequences of being on a long term. how did is that to do with contamination of the land or what, what are the main consequences? yeah, i mean there are many consequences of illegal good money. and it's an issue that often gets overlooked when we talk about environmental destruction in the amazon. but it is devastating to the environment and especially to indigenous peoples in the amazon. so there is the environmental impact and that includes the

taking part they got through to the final before losing out to buy and munich. that remains the best of a performance by an african team. at the club world cup, which i would love to do something similar or perhaps even better. this time around . chelsea have smashed the british a transfer record to sign argentinian woke up where now and so for now this they paid been figure $130000000.00 for the 22 year olds in a last minute transfer deadline day deal. chelsea fans will hope the cut her 2022 young player award winner can help revive their season for now. this joins a team sitting 10th in the leak. we've been speaking to evening, standard football correspondent and his arkan fell on whether fernandez can be a savior to chelsea's nightmare season. it's still going to be hard in place. chelsea. right. so yeah, i mean bread and so the pressure is on the hit the ground running right away. but i
12:55 am
think if you look is past me, he came into play 17 games that he joined. but peak about that supper, lead 7 point, clear became a river play, his former club. and i didn't see that excellent right from the beginning. and his lo may as well to defend it. just the knowledge and seeing that he was excellent, even at 19 years old. so yeah, this is the guy used to hit the ground running. so maybe history says he'll do again at chelsea. the fee paid in may be over paid a little bit. kelsey said they wouldn't, you know, pay too much for this player, but in the end them to pay more than the actual buyout clause. so they can spread the cost of the contract, the cost of the fee over the course of the contract. so the sign in the daily allows and spread the cost a little bit, but it's a very high phase. the british transfer record chelsea spending in general is a world record amounts. so it's only, it's only natural that you expect results and you expect results quickly. so i guess the pressures on grandpa says to make this a success,
12:56 am
to make this famous obsess and also with this signing, they have to build the team around him for the future. and how legend tom brady says he's retiring and this time he and says it's for good. the 7 time super bowl winner made the announcement on social media brings to an end a 23 year playing career. this however is not the 1st time brady his studies retiring. he had announced him his ending, his playing days last year, only to return for another season and 45 year old played 20 seasons for the new england patriots before moving to the tampa bay buccaneers. and 2020. good morning guys. i'll get to the point right away. i'm retiring or good. i know the process was a pretty big deal last time. so when i woke up this morning i figured i just press record. let you guys know 1st. i won't be long winded, you only get one super emotional retirement essay and i use my not last year. so i
12:57 am
really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting early response americans, sports broadcast r, michael carlson about whether brady's retirement will stick this time. you can never say never, i think with, with tom brady. but what was interesting to me was that he announced it the day after sean payton the coach had signed it to coach the denver broncos, where there's no opening for a quarterback. but last year there was a, there was a scandal involved as the miami dolphins tried to sign both brady and payton to comes a package deal. and they were punished by the league for tampering because both guys were under contract to other teams. i think he might have been holding out a little hope that he and peyton might finally get together. but i think with peyton going to denver, that probably was the last straw. and you remember, if he had stuck to his retirement last year, just about this time last year instead of coming back,
12:58 am
he might still be married now byron left, which might well have been the coach in carolina instead of staying in tampa. and then being fired after the disappointing season, the team had this year, and there could be a whole lot of other things different to the nfl. okay, that's that for me it's now back to lauren in london. thank you very much and that's it made, aren't elephant nisa? i'll be back in amendment with mormonism. thanks for watching makena. ah ah. a
