this is bbc news, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. my name's mike embley. a ruling in the case of breonna taylor, but the charge does not directly relate to her killing. how will the city and the civil rights movement react? i am pretty sure a lot of people are led down after hearing what they heard. ijust hope this doesn't turn into anger and we actually do hold peace. more clashes and arrests in belarus as president lukashenko is sworn into office for a sixth time. tributes to ruth bader ginsburg, as the liberal icon of the supreme court lies in repose at the steps of the court. and the name's bond, james albert bond — the real—life secret agent who sounds kind of familiar.

hello to you. the family of breonna taylor, the black medical worker shot dead by police in her home in kentucky, have expressed their anger that no—one is to be charged with her killing. instead, one louisville officer is to be prosecuted for a lesser offence because some of his bullets went into a neighbour's property. her death in march, she was 26, has added more fuel to widespread protests against police violence and racism. the state attorney general has said two other officers at the scene were not charged because they were returning fire. breonna taylor's boyfriend, who was with her in the flat, had shot at them as they broke through the front door. our washington correspondent aleem maqbool reports. they're already starting to express their outrage at the news that police won't be charged with the manslaughter of breonna taylor. in march, the 26—year—old had been in her own home

after midnight when plain—clothes police officers burst in on a drug raid. her boyfriend, kenneth walker, a licensed gun owner, says he thought they were intruders and fired his weapon. they fired back at least 20 times, killing breonna. no drugs were found. 911, operator here. what is your emergency? i don't know what's happening. somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend. breonna taylor! after months of protests, the city of louisville paid a $12 million settlement to breonna taylor's family, but they wanted the officers charged with manslaughter. a grand jury decided against that. according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. this justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges

in miss breonna taylor's death. instead, one of the three officers involved was charged with a far lesser count of wanton endangerment. you've heard the announcement. what do you feel? angry, very angry, very upset. basically, everything that's going on right now, i'm pretty sure a lot of people are let down by hearing what they heard. ijust hope it doesn't rise into anger within ourselves, and we actually do hold peace. protesters here feel it's the decision not even to send these officers to trial for manslaughter that's made anger, perhaps violence inevitable. for them, in spite of a long summer of protest, little in america has been resolved. aleem maqbool, bbc news, louisville.

there is more anger, a lot of anger being seen on the street. we can bring you live pictures from louisville, kentucky, where protesters and police have been clashing. there have been more instances and peaceful protests on the streets of new york and pittsburgh. i spoke just now to a civil rights activist in new york. once again we have seen a miscarriage of justice once again we have seen a miscarriage ofjustice which is the direct result of the americanjustice system the direct result of the american justice system being broken. there are a number of problems that took place with regard to this case and you heard a lot of them come forward when daniel currie did his press conference this afternoon. you heard about the lack of transparency, which american citizens have been waiting on edge, notjust here but across the world to find out what exactly what was going on, what was the delay that was keeping us from getting information that we needed understand exactly what was taking place as part of this

investigation. when you heard about the confusing charges that were filed against one of the three —— three offices that we re the three —— three offices that were there on the evening and responsible for leon taylor's to. we did not hear any conversation about the actual police work that led to the warrant, that led to the actual intrusion where breonna taylor was killed at —— breonna. there has been an incredible sense of a lack of transparency which has only now been coupled with a lack of accountability because there is a dead black woman who did nothing but yet we are told by the justice system that no—one is responsible. i think everyone will have enormous sympathy with what happened to breonna taylor. it was always going to be tricky, legally, given that the police officer who fired the police officer who fired the bull that killed her was firing in self defence. whatever the confusion at the door, there is another officer around the side of the building firing into windows, it was not

in the kilter. i think there are going to be challenges with this case. however, looking at kentucky law, there are six different holiday statues which daniel cameron had at his disposal in terms of being able to present to the grand jury. based off of his conversation today during a press conference with the media i am not confident he presented any of them, not even the reckless statute which i think would have enabled him, at a statute which i think would have enabled him, ata minimum, to allow for some level of a homicide charge to appear on that indictment. but, again, they also want to stress that daniel cameron doctor the question of what the investigation is into the police work that led up to this to begin with. we do have a $12 million settlement, so that does suggest that some wrong doing actually took place and ata minimum doing actually took place and at a minimum there was some negligence on behalf of the police department in kentucky. soi police department in kentucky. so i don't want to concede this point that it is going to be a hard, near impossible thing to get done in the first place, they do think there were some

challenges, but ultimately the fa ct challenges, but ultimately the fact that there was not a homicide charge on this indictment is a miscarriage of justice, not only to breonna taylor and her family, but justice, not only to breonna taylor and herfamily, but the country at large. charles, we're seeing low pictures coming in from louisville, clearly a lot very angry people that, i assume they and you think the best way for the police to change their approach to these situations is a change in prison. there is a problem, protest on the street feed into president trump's agenda. he is himself as the law and order candidate. so that is a very interesting point and it raises some of the nuance that is associated with a lot of this process. what you have to realise is a lot of the protests that have ta ken place throughout the nation have been peaceful. the notion of these destructive protests that have been disruptive, that have destroyed property, that have harmed people, that have caused bullies to get involved and engage in a manner that we are actually complaining is

problematic, those are a sideshow that have been advanced to suggest this is why we need this, this is why we need this access force. this is why we need this huge presence of police in these situations. when the reality is the overwhelming majority of protests have been completely peaceful and within the law. so thatis peaceful and within the law. so that is a red herring that the president has used to distract people from the fact that this is actually the legitimate people's complaints. these are legitimate complaints that are founded and well evidenced in the narrative around these people are being a mob that is unruly, unjust, that are seeking just to destroy you not have actual change take place, thatis have actual change take place, that is a false narrative that is used to advance a political agenda. charles coleman speaking to me just now. let's get some of the day's other news. a petrol tanker has exploded after colliding with other vehicles in central nigeria, killing at least 25 people, including some primary school children. police in the city of lokoja say the tanker driver lost control and rammed

into oncoming vehicles. president donald trump has announced a new series of sanctions on cuba. us citizens will be prohibited from staying at properties owned by the cuban government. the importing of cuban cigars has also been banned. since taking office, mr trump has tightened restrictions on cuba that were loosened by former president barack obama. injune 2019, the trump administration imposed heavy new restrictions on travel to cuba. after more than a month in hospital, much of it in intensive care, russian opposition leader alexei navalny has been discharged. mr navalny, a fierce critic of vladimir putin, was being treated in berlin for novichok poisoning. the legendary french singer and actressjuliette greco has died at the age of 93. in a career spanning over half a century, she sang many well—loved hits and performed in over 30 films. a former member of the french resistance, juliette greco began her career in the nightclubs of paris's latin quarter — and her songs charted the rebirth of france after the second world war.

there have been violent clashes in belarus after the country's longtime president, alexander lu kashenko, was sworn in for a sixth time in an unannounced ceremony. in the capital minsk, water cannon were used. protesters were struck with batons as riot police detained dozens, as they tried to stop the demonstrations, as mark lobel reports. screaming macro. violence back on the streets of minsk. protesters confronting police. many bundled away once again. president lukashenko's sixth inauguration reigniting anger after last month's disputed election. there is no surprise for anybody that this inauguration took place in secret, because they realise that mr lukashenko is afraid. they don't trust him. they don't believe him. people will never forgive don't believe him. people will neverforgive him for the crimes and they will never forget the crimes. despite this

sweeping motorcade, this was not a normal inauguration. it was unannounced , not a normal inauguration. it was unannounced, for a leader so was unannounced, for a leader so unwelcome. in front of several hundred lost in local officials, the russian backed leader praised the military for defending the country's solitary andy independence with foreign dignitaries are seemingly absent. "together," he told them, "they had prevented catastrophe." but on the streets protests continued into the night is a barrage of international condemnation undermined president lukashenko's claims to office. and as opposition calls for dialogue continue, the president seems intent on not listening. mark lobel, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: tributes are paid to ruth bader ginsburg, as the liberal icon

of the supreme court lies in repose. ben johnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. all the athletes should be clean going into the games. i'm just happy that justice is served. it is a simple fact that this morning, these people were in their homes. tonight, those homes have been burnt down by serbian soldiers and police. all the taliban positions along here have been strengthened, presumably in case the americans invade. it's no use having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world and so, the british government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgement in australia. concorde have crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaking the record by six minutes.

this is bbc news. our main headline: a ruling in the case of breonna taylor — but the charge does not directly relate to her killing. you live pictures from louisville, kentucky. we understand that in louisville, a police officer has been shot at those protests. do not know the condition and we don't have more details on that but one police officer shot in

louisville kentucky amid protests on the tayla case. barbara sexton smith, is a counciller in louisville, kentucky — my colleague kasia madera asked for her reaction to wednesday's events. when i very first heard, as eve ryo ne when i very first heard, as everyone here in the commonwealth of kentucky, that only one officer was going to be charged and the charge was simply going to be three counts of wa nto n simply going to be three counts of wanton endangerment for the three bullets that went into the apartment next door to breonna taylor where a man, woman and child were, that was incredibly frustrating and very disappointing to me as a metro councilwoman into the thousands of thousands of people who have been protesting on our streets for 194 days since the night breonna taylor was killed in her home by local police officers. so what's your understanding why the charge wasn't manslaughter? the attorney general was saying they were following the law. yes, and so the explanation

that our attorney general daniel cameron gave that that was that the ten bullets fired by the officer went into the apartment and the apartment next door but none of his bullets fired went into breonna taylor's body. the fbi's independent investigation said the ballistic report showed that the one bullet that was the fateful —— fatal shot in breonna taylor's body came from officer cosgrove and then the attorney general went on to say that officer maddingley and officer cosgrove who fired multiple rounds into the home when they saw a man and woman in the hallway, they were firing in self defence and the attorney general said the kentucky revised statutes, the laws that govern the activities by our law enforcement, they are allowed by our law enforcement, they a re allowed by by our law enforcement, they are allowed by law to fire in self defence. that was the explanation that was given. we are frustrated here in

louisville, kentucky. so this idea of qualified immunity and the no knock warrants, just talk us through that, how that works and how that's impacted this particular situation. how it worked on march 13 is one set of that is, but we passed a law here in louisville, kentucky, we are the only metro council in the entire united states of america that has passed a ban on no knock wa rra nts passed a ban on no knock warrants and an ordinance that requires body cameras to be activated and operating in footage to be stored on all search warrants but what happened was, the tragedy was on march 12, five search warrants, no knock search wa rra nts warrants, no knock search warrants were applied for and an affidavit was sworn by an officer, joshua janes, and he presented that to a judge that approved and signed five simultaneous no knock warrants. four of those within conducted

as we went into the nighttime and became march 13. ms taylor was shot and killed in her home asa was shot and killed in her home as a result of one of those no knock search warrants being conducted simultaneously and when we learned that, on the metro council, we were not aware of that. it was not or to oui’ aware of that. it was not or to our attention until may ten and then it took us 22 days to write law and pass the law unanimously for a complete ban on no knock warrants in our community. so our plea to the nation here, every city in every state in the united states of america, will com pletely states of america, will completely ban no knock warrants. we should not have them. they are a result of the 19805 them. they are a result of the 1980s war on drugs in the united states and many of the aspects of the war on drugs need to be eliminated. this is a first step. we have much more

justice reform we need to put in place. barbara, we don't have much time but when we look at the streets, the live shot, louisville, we know people are desperately unhappy with this decision. just going forward, it's the death of george floyd as well. we got this justice and policing act which is trying to be passed, it's been passed by the federal house of representatives. what do you think is going on here? it's the system that isn't up to scratch when it comes to these types of deaths? our system is com pletely types of deaths? our system is completely broken. our system has not been written correct from the of time, more than 400 yea rs from the of time, more than 400 years in the united states, we have implemented institutional oppression and created long—term systemic racism that oppresses black people in our nation. we must stop that. we need total justice nation. we must stop that. we need totaljustice reform and it must start with the local level for the laws in the cities and then at the state level and federal government.

let's speak to our washington correspondent, nomia iqbal. several developments including a lot of anger about all of this on the streets. the president was asked about the case, he didn't seem to have much to say about the case self, certainly no words for the taylor family but he had a lot to say about the attorney general, daniel cameron, who was a big supporter of mr trump. that's right. instead he referred to the comments made by daniel cameron when he announced the charge that was being made against one of the police officers. he referred to him asa police officers. he referred to him as a big star. he appeared at the republican national convention and daniel cameron was also on donald trump's pick for potential supreme court va ca ncy for potential supreme court vacancy seats. we know he's probably not likely to get that because donald trump has said it was going to be a woman because he did not offer any

words of sympathy which were not expect —— which were expected of him. when reporters tried to ask a bit more about breonna taylor, he walked out and said he had to answer an emergency call. something else he was asked in the press conference was, would he be committed to a peaceful transition of. strongly about complaining very strongly about the ballots in the ballots are a disaster. people are writing. do you commit to make sure there is a peaceful transfer of power? you get rid of the ballots and it will be peaceful, there won't be a transfer, there will be a continuation. the ballots are out of control, you know it, you know who knows it better than anybody else, the democrats know it better than anybody else. that particular

response we know has alarmed a great many people, i think, and throws into sharp relief the question of who the ballots expect the balance of power on the supreme court is for. we are hearing these reports that are hearing these reports that a police officer has been shot in louisville. anymore details on that? that's right. it's just come in a moment ago. a police officer has been shot, we don't know the condition of the police officer. they are on alert in louisville, there is a 72 hour curfew in place, it actually just finished a 72 hour curfew in place, it actuallyjust finished a while ago, until 630 in the morning, the national guard is out as well, about 500 people, tensions are high, people are very angry and upset about the results, as soon as we find out more, we will bring you an update. thank you very much for that.

family members and former colleagues have been paying their respects to the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg. after a brief ceremony at the court in washington, her casket went on display for the public. our north america editor jon sopel reports. there was something almost dystopian about the image as former clerks of ruth bader ginsburg lined the steps of the supreme court. six feet apart, black facemasks instead of black armbands, mourning in a time of covid. her death a source of genuine pain for millions of americans. a rabbi conducted the small service attended by family and her fellow supreme courtjustices. the tribute from the us chiefjustice, john roberts. ruth used to ask, "what is the difference between a bookkeeper in brooklyn a supreme court justice?" her answer, "one generation." it has been said that ruth wanted to be an opera virtuoso, but became a rock star instead. but she chose the law.

members of the public will be able to pay their respects to the notorious rbg, her rock star nickname, over the coming days, but the world is not standing still. donald trump is moving at warp speed to fill her seat on the court, still draped in black, and it looks like he's got the votes in the senate to push this through, particularly after a strong republican critic fell into line. what i intend to do is to proceed with the consideration process, and if a nominee actually reaches the floor, then i will vote based upon the qualifications of that nominee. two women are being talked about as a successor — barbara lagoa, a cuban—american from florida, and amy coney barrett from indiana. but in social outlook, they couldn't be more different from the liberal justice ruth bader ginsburg. and at trump rallies, there's a new chant for 2020. chanting: fill that seat! we will. fill that seat, fill that seat! "fill that seat, fill

that seat," they call. and it looks like donald trump will, shifting the court in a markedly conservative direction. the liberal era on abortion, gay rights, immigration reform may well be coming to an end. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. prince harry has urged us citizens to reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity and to make sure they cast their vote the in the upcoming us presidential election. he made the remarks alongside his wife meghan in a broadcast for time magazine. buckingham palace has highlighted the fact that the duke is no longer a working royal, and said his remarks were made in a personal capacity. a number of cougars have been spotted strolling through the suburbs of the chilean capital, santiago. scientists say coronavirus lockdowns have embolded the cougars, who have been searching for food after years of drought in the andes.

local zoo workers captured one cougar that became trapped in a neighbourhood garden. it was released back into the wild after a medical. uncle ben's rice is being renamed in the us because of concerns about racial stereotyping. it will become ben's original, and the 70—year—old brand image of an elderly african—american black man often wearing a bowtie will be dropped. that menus again, the family of breonna taylor, the black medical worker shot dead by police in her home in louisville, kentucky have expressed their anger that no—one is to be charged with her killing. one officer is to be prosecuted for a lesser offence because some of his bullets went into enable's property. her death in march, she was 26, has had more fuel

to widespread protests and we understand one police officer has been shot in louisville in the protest tonight but no details on his condition or anymore details that at the moment thank you for watching. hello there. another autumnal—feeling day ahead for most of us. even in the sunshine, it'll be a cooler day than we've become used to. we had plenty of showers, though, through the day yesterday. that was whitby in north yorkshire. plenty of sunshine, that said, for parts of northern ireland and scotland. and so, where we've had the clear skies, the starry skies through the night, temperatures will start the day close to freezing in the glens. but across eastern england, we've had a bout of heavy rain and strong winds. those are starting to clear out into the north sea, but hot on their heels another area of low pressure which will cross england through the day. so, again, a spell of heavier rain sweeping its way northwards, gale—force winds picking up following to push in or usher in clusters of heavy showers with hail and thunder in their midst.

and this rain could get stuck in some areas. and even to the south of it, given that there'll be stronger winds, gusts up to 60 mph in exposed coastal areas that could cause some local damage, with gusty winds inland as well. only 15, i think, the high, compared with the 21 that we had yesterday, and some real downpours around. and cold if you're stuck under this rain band in the north east, possibly southern scotland, even parts of northern ireland, although the majority here having dry and sunny weather and so, too, for the north and west of scotland. but only 11—12 degrees, a far cry from what we've become used to in the last week or so. there'll be plenty more showers following as we go through the night, and again it'll turn chilly under the clearer skies further north. but i think friday will feel chillier still for many of us, and that's because of a change in wind direction. we've pulled the low pressure away into the north sea and the low countries, and instead we get this northerly wind. we've got high pressure starting to move in from the west, which will quieten the shower activity down. it won't be dry altogether.

we'll still see some in western areas. we could have almost gale—force winds down the north sea coasts, bringing in rain to lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east as well. so, it will feel chillier, distinct wind chill in this part of the world as well. but some sunnier skies prevailing further west eventually, and those will prevail through the weekend potentially with that area of high pressure continuing. although near the north sea coasts, there's always the chance of brisker winds ushering showers, possibly even longer spells of rain at times through saturday and sunday. so, the detail is going be difficult at this stage, but, as ever, we'll keep you updated and there's more of course on our website. bye— bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines: thousands of people in the us city of louisville are staging protests after the authorities announced no one would be charged with the death of a black woman in a police shooting. one of the three police officers who raided breonna taylor's flat has been indicted for wanton endangerment. large numbers of people have protested into the night in belarus, against the unannounced swearing—in of alexander lu kashenko for a sixth term as president, last month's election result is still being angrily disputed. some demonstrators in the capital, minsk, wore fake crowns to mock his inauguration. riot police have been out in force. the united states has begun three days of tributes to the supreme courtjustice ruth bader ginsburg, who died on friday aged 87. her casket is lying in repose on the steps of the court
