ruth bader ginsburg. the nomination comes weeks before the us presidential election. the late us supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has become the first woman in american history to lie in state in the capital building in washington. she was honoured during a private ceremony that was attended by family members and some officials as well as invited guests. one week after israel became the first developed country to implement a second national lockdown, coronavirus restrictions have been tightened yet again. the latest daily figure shows more than 8,000 new cases in the country, which now has one of the highest infection rates in the world. local lockdowns are being introduced in three more areas of wales this weekend, the capital cardiff, swansea and llanelli.

it'll mean close to half the welsh population, around 1.5 million people will now be under much tighter restrictions. 0ur correspondent, hywel griffith reports now, from cardiff. we've got to come to a decision by sunday. the logistics of lockdown can be painful. leigh and her grandson, corey, can't decide how they'll cope. it all depends on how long this covid lockdown lasts. they live separately, and so from sunday evening can't be under the same roof or leave cardiff. other relatives live in places already under lockdown, so they'll all be cut off. it's a travesty, isn't it? i'll be honest with you, i think it's going to have a lot of psychological effects. i think it's going to bring in a lot of loneliness, and i really am not looking forward to the second wave. i think it's going to be twice as bad as the first wave. they endured the first time, but knowing that coronavirus has spiked again because some people

failed to follow social distancing, makes this even harder. do they not care about their family? is there nobody in their life that they love? are they realistically not going to be bothered if one of their family die of covid? it's frustrating. yeah, it really is. with cardiff, swansea and llanelli all being added to wales‘ lockdown list, by sunday evening almost half of the population will be under the tougher measures. and the entire nation's being asked to think twice before people travel anywhere. going to school or university is a valid reason, but as students arrive here for the start of term, they've been warned not to meet indoors with anyone not in their household. the measures reflect the seriousness of the position and we ask people to reflect on that in their own conduct and to avoid unnecessary contact with other people. so just how serious is the second wave? hospital admissions are rising, but very slowly. at wales‘ largest hospital, they're braced for more

serious cases soon. it's inevitable that we'll see a rise in hospital admissions. i suspect that will be a gradual increase in the weeks to come, so we may have a few weeks. we've been preparing all year. how long this will last is far harder to plan, but most here are preparing for the long haul. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. now on bbc news. the killing of george floyd, caught on camera by eye—witnesses, has led to an outpouring of anger in america. but what happens when the cameras are turned off or if there are no cameras at all? our world tells the stories of witnesses to police brutality who say they've been intimidated and even threatened with incarceration. this film contains scenes which some viewers may find upsetting. george floyd is the face of

thousands that have gone before him. he is the straw that broke the camel's back. after the brutal police killing of george floyd, protests erupted across america and the world. no justice, no peace! i can't breathe, please, ican't justice, no peace! i can't breathe, please, i can't read. a video shot by a passerby has changed the way many people you officers treatment of black people in the us. but when the cameras are turned off, what happens to the witnesses? witnesses are intimidated. they are fearful that they will be targeted if they come out and testify against a police officer was white this film tells the story of the people who have witnessed police brutality. i just who have witnessed police brutality. ijust saw who have witnessed police brutality. i just saw the who have witnessed police brutality. ijust saw the cops kill somebody. i didn't know what was going to happen to me next. and how the police can turn against them. one was

coming at me with a gun in my face. i was scared, i was terrified. independence day in 2016 in baton rouge, louisiana. it had been a busy day for store owner abdullah and his friend and colleague alton stirling. first timei colleague alton stirling. first time i met alton stirling was andi time i met alton stirling was and ifirst came time i met alton stirling was and i first came down from detroit. he was selling cds at the store is first started working out. he is the ones who welcomed me to baton rouge and told me if i needed help with anything, to actually ask him. this is actually where he used

to set up, right here. now, 37—year—old alton sterling was selling cds from a table outside abdullah‘s shop. selling cds from a table outside abdullah's shop. he loved it out here, he knew everybody and everybody knew him. but around midnight, somebody had called the police on him, for allegedly threatening a homeless man with a gun. excuse me, can you put your hands on the car please? stop, stop. what you're talking about? put hands on the car. don't move, stop. what did i do? don't bleep move rail shoot bleep move rail shoot bleep your ask! put your hands oi'i bleep your ask! put your hands on the car i will shoot you two, do you understand me?|j ran outside, i saw the police tackling and tailoring him and fighting with him. get on the ground! it didn't seem like what they were doing was right.

they were escalating the problem rather than deescalating it. it clicked in my head, hey, pull your phone out and record. you move, i bleep swear to god. gunshots. gunshots. i was only maybe a couple of feet away from him when all of that happened. it was very shocking and it felt like it was a nightmare. everybody stop! the two police officers realised abdullah had been standing right next to them. detain him. for what? you are out here, you witnessed everything so we're going detain you. put him in the car. i was detain you. put him in the car. iwas in detain you. put him in the car. i was in shock, i still didn't know what was going on. ijust

saw the cops kill somebody. i didn't know what was going to happen to me next. they were treating me as if i was the suspect, as the criminal. the police took away his phone and locked him in the hot carfor more than four hours, even refusing him access to a bathroom. the windows were closed. i kept telling them it is hot, can i stand outside, cani is hot, can i stand outside, can i go back on the store? they wouldn't let me do anything. while he was locked in the car, police went into his store and took his entire surveillance system. but they didn't realise that abdullah had been recording too. didn't realise that abdullah had been recording toolj didn't realise that abdullah had been recording too. i was scared to tell anybody i had any kind of footage. i was scared they would come after me or take it. i kept it a secret the whole time. i was scared that i haven't had it on my phone until i went and talked tojoe porter, phone until i went and talked to joe porter, my phone until i went and talked tojoe porter, my lawyer.

i immediately understood the significance and the importance of this footage. i did not trust local law enforcement with this footage. i did not wa nt with this footage. i did not want it to be tampered with, i did not want it to be destroyed. i felt like i did not want it to be destroyed. ifelt like i had did not want it to be destroyed. i felt like i had an obligation to release it to the public. footage from the night lit a fire under a community enraged about police killing another black man. joel porter is acting on behalf of delight in acting on behalf of delight in a suit against the police. they illegally detained him, placed him withoutjustification in the back of a police car, they prevented him from contacting his attorney, confiscated his surveillance equipment. they would not allow him to go to

the bathroom. the police behaviour towards him was despicable. i think their actions were intended to intimidate him. two other witnesses were also detained by the police that night. they have never come forward and despite a federal investigation into the shooting, no offices have ever been charged. baton rouge police department told the bbc that while they couldn't comment on abdullah‘s case due to ongoing civil action, significant advancements have been made in training and policy. last year, the officer who shot alton sterling agreed to leave the force. i wanted to find out how often witnesses refused to come forward and why. there are no official figures but i have spoken to lawyers representing victims

across the country, and they have all told me that the problem is widespread. lee is a lawyer acting on some of the most prominent civil rights cases in america, including that of george floyd. we live in the deadliest police culture in the deadliest police culture in the world, there is no nation that kills or incarcerate so many of its citizens and we see violence and incarceration as a response to holding police officers accountable. yourself as a civil rights lawyer, you and your team find it difficult to get witnesses to speak. is extremely to get the community to participate and hold officers accountable when they know there are very few protections to keep them from receiving repercussions. although it is rare to find people willing to speak out,

one man in baton rouge has made it his mission to protect the community by keeping an eye on the police. ijust i just listen to it ijust listen to it in case i pick something up. arthur, better known as silky slim, is a community activist. he listens on police scanners for incidents that might turn deadly. i listen to it all day, as much as i can. i think, late at night, one am, 2am in the morning, i listen to it, a call. let's see what we can get. he and a small team go out each night to film responses to 911 calls in the area. in the last five years, they have court to make police killings on camera and the aftermath of a third, but it can be risky. i get out

of my car, take camera and i hold it up and i started filming and the police brought his gun and said what have you got pointed at me? i said, this is my camera and it is not pointed you. "i can't tell from you, put your hands are! '.i could have lost my life then and there. he knew it was a phone but he also knew that he could have shot and said that he thought it was a gun and i just would have been dead. moved back. it is a threat that silky is uniquely placed to handle. before he turned his life around, silky was involved in gangs, drugs and serious crime. but since he started filming, silky says he now gets more attention from police, regularly facing traffic stops, searches and finds fellow i get stopped more, harassed more now than when i was a gang leader.

right now, anytime they me, they figure, we to stop him. they make their threats, we just want to know, we can catch you at any time. baton rouge police department told the bbc that they are committed to building trust and legitimacy in the community and they are actively listening to residents. the seventh consecutive day of protests against police brutality in new york city... witnessing the killing of any human being is harrowing. it is even worse when it is a loved one. but when the killers are law enforcement officers, seeking accountability can have serious consequences. more common than people understand is the threat of incarceration, that if you speak out on this case it is going to cause us to look at your taxes, or look at

your last dui warrant or any number of things where we allow the state to... criminalise witnesses. and there is no protection. criminalisation is just whatjessica says is happening to her since she witnessed the killing of her boyfriend joseph richardson. in july last year, they were living in a motel in port alan, next door to baton rouge. living in a motel in port alan, next door to baton rougem was just a next door to baton rougem wasjust a small next door to baton rougem was just a small room, we were actually waiting on our apartment so we were just staying there until the first. unknown to them, joseph was being watched by the sheriff's office. i was laying on the bed watching a video, and joseph had just got out of the shower

standing by the bathroom mirror, and all of a sudden i heard west baton rouge sheriff's office, put your hands up, so i immediately turned up and sat up in bed and put my hands up, and made eye contact with the officer, and joe turned around and walked up a little bit, hejust walked up like an inch and put his hands up, and one of the officers immediately grabbed josef. the officer grabbed joe's hand and he bent it really hard when he was taking him down, and i see joe go to the ground. i see them standing overjoe, and the gun go off at that time, and... and then, soon as the gun goes off onjoe... 0ne and then, soon as the gun goes off onjoe... one was coming at me with a gun in my face, and

he immediately grabbed me, and he immediately grabbed me, and he took me out of the room. i didn't know what to feel. i was scared, i was terrified, and what did ijust scared, i was terrified, and what did i just see? scared, i was terrified, and what did ijust see? you know, what did ijust see? you know, what did i witness? ijust thought it was going to be my last day to as well, you know? josef had been shot in the back of the neck. three internal investigations following his killing ruled that the officer had elected —— acted lawfully. they said there was resistance after a struggle, as well as suspected a gun. butjosef‘s family are taking civil action against the sheriff's office for wrongful death. so we have unarmed black man, half naked, killed in a motel room. jessica said he was in the process of

complying, the process of getting on his knees and putting his hands up behind his head. if you were to do that, ifi head. if you were to do that, if i were to get out of this chair, get on my knees, and begin to comply like that, which part of my body is exposed? it would be this point right here. which shows that they are lying about the events. the sheriff's department of west baton rouge say they conducted the raid because josef was dealing drugs from the room. the report says they found marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and two digital scales. no gun was ever found. jessica, after being a witness to this, she was arrested. she was charged with the drugs that were found in the room, even though based on their own investigation into josef, that he was the alleged target of this investigation, but they threw everything that

was in there on her. jessica spent four days in custody and was charged with possession with intent to supply the drugs found. you know, ijust witnessed my boyfriends death and murder, and i was like... like, what am i here for? you know, what did i do? you are the criminal. jessica is campaigning to get justice the criminal. jessica is campaigning to getjustice for josef. but the charges have left her in limbo. what kind of life can i have with these kind of charges on me? i can't go to get a good job, i can't go to work, it is not good for those kind of charges to be on you. jessica also feels she is being targeted on the streets. just weeks after the killing, police stopped her while she was being driven home. she was covering

herface —— driven home. she was covering her face —— is driven home. she was covering herface —— is covering her face because she is worried the police will recognise her. we we re police will recognise her. we were actually right here. black is. the driver immediately pulled over and a police officer rushed to the side of the car that i was on, and opened up the door, and he said that he was pulling us over because of the taillight, but it didn't make sense that he ran on my side of the door instead of the driver side. things then became more serious. i went to go get my cigarettes out of the car and then the officer holding up a white bag with wide substance in it, a small white bag, and he asked me, was that for me? and i said no. if it ain't yours... inaudible. jessica says she doesn't know who the drugs belong to but the driver eventually took responsibility.

she was let go. as i was walking away, the officer look at me and he said jessica, he said the only reason why you're not going to jail with me today is because he took full responsibility for the jugs that were found in the car. —— drugs. why would he tell me something like that? i think they were trying to take me down because of the crime they committed. since being arrested, jessica says she sees the police everywhere. every timei the police everywhere. every time i go around you would see the police. sometimes they end up the police. sometimes they end up p°ppin9 the police. sometimes they end up p°pping up the police. sometimes they end up popping up to like three different locations where i was at. and so that is what we really made me say that you know, i have to really be careful. you know, ijust don't feel safe anymore. jessica will plead not guilty to the drugs charges next month. she is suing the police for false arrest and intimidation.

josef‘s family are also suing for wrongful death. west baton rouge sheriff's office says they could not comment because of the ongoing litigation. 0man. —— oh, man. oman. -- oh, man. even children can be treated as terminals rather than witnesses of police brutality. just outside new 0 rlea ns, brutality. just outside new orleans, in march this year, the 14—year—old on the right, and his friend had grabbed a lift to party unaware that car had been stolen. two cop cars behind us they turned on the sirens, they turned around, and started going down the street. deputies from the jefferson parish sheriff — parent — sheriff's office gave chase

before they suddenly stopped. they got out and everyone else got out and the charge was that they just run. the got out and the charge was that theyjust run. the driver disappeared into the night, while nijel hid under a shed. but tre'mall was too slow and was caught. i see tre'mall underground, and he had to get on the ground. one had is near my back, and my arms, and they we re my back, and my arms, and they were like, we are a friend,... i don't know, i don't know! and thatis i don't know, i don't know! and that is when, after that, everything kind of went black. next thing you know i had a gun shop, boom, and i heard tre'mall scream, screen for his life. nijel was the only witness to the shooting. scared to his life, the 16—year—old called out to surrender. he says the police beat him up. and they just says the police beat him up. and theyjust dragged me from under and the next thing you knew i pick my head up and i

see a big old bootjust came into my eye. tre'mall survived but the boys were arrested. it was left to the hospital to tell tre'mall‘s mum about the shooting. when she arrived, officers prevented herfrom seeing her son. there was a deputy and their was a detective there. not once did either detect if or the deputy open their mouth and say well, ms mcgee, this is what happened. they allow me to leave the hospital assuming my child just got shot on the streets by anybody. it took three months for the sheriff to even confirm one of his deputies had indeed shot her son. six months on, she is still waiting for answers. but despite the risks, tiffany is determined to speak out. they

don't want me to keep talking. they didn't expect me to talk on the first place, they didn't expect me to ask no questions. they just expect expect me to ask no questions. theyjust expect me to sit back and say oh well, another black headshot. no, this ends today. and it is going to end with me. jefferson parish sheriff's office did not respond to our requests for comment. public opinion about policing in america does seem to be shifting in the wake of george floyd's death. i put it to lee merritt that in the context of people being killed, witness tampering might be less distressing. it is how to get away with murder. we put law enforcement officers honour pedestal, these righteous

people that have to kill people sometimes to protect us all. narrative is completely not true, it has been exposed now since the murder of george floyd and the uprising you have seen come floyd and the uprising you have seen come out of it. whatever the impact of those protests, until more witnesses feel confident speaking out against police, many more deaths are likely to go unchallenged. hello. the last weekend of september won't be a particularly warm one, but for much of the uk, it'll be dry, there'll be some occasional sunshine. but there is one significant fly in the ointment — this area of low pressure which has pounded parts of eastern england, especially norfolk, with wind and rain

to end the week. it will still be close by over the weekend, it will still be windy and still a chance of seeing a bit of rain. it'll be cloudier compared with elsewhere. so, this is how the weekend is shaping up, on the chilly side. some sunshine, but those strong winds particularly across parts of eastern england. they'll still be there as we start saturday. still with some outbreaks of rain, lincolnshire into east anglia. elsewhere, clear, chillier, maybe a touch of frost to start the day in parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland. but across much of the uk, well, winds are reasonably light in comparison to eastern england. there'll be some sunshine. the cloud, though, across eastern england delivering some showery outbreaks of rain at times, especially the further east you are. and temperatures, well, mid—to—low teens, just maybe a few spots along the south coast reaching as high as 16 degrees celsius. the white arrows are the average speeds here. of course, they are higher the further east you are. we'll turn the arrows black and look at wind gusts, and 50—60 mph right along the coastline, just maybe easing a little later

in the day, but make no mistake — these will still be strong winds with big waves and again cloud with some outbreaks of rain. and there'll be more cloud generally across central and eastern parts of england on through saturday night into sunday. could see a bit of drizzle, maybe south—east england, out of that. where you're clear, it'll be chilly again, and again parts of northern ireland, scotland and northern england will get close to freezing or a touch of frost as we start sunday. but again with some sunshine to follow. on sunday, we'll keep a fair amount of cloud across the midlands, across the eastern side of england, you could see a few spots of light rain. there's still a noticeable wind right along that coast in particular, just not as strong as it's been. the lighter winds elsewhere, you get to see a bit of sunshine, maybe turning hazy later in northern ireland. the temperature may be a degree or so higher. but as winds turn south—westerly into the start of next week, it will turn a bit milder. a bit of rain heading to northern ireland on monday, and further spells of wind and rain across the uk

coming our way from midweek.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm maryam moshiri. us media are reporting that donald trump has decided to nominate federal judge amy coney barrett to the supreme court. but the president remains tight—lipped. so that decision will be made — it is made in my own mind, but we will be announcing it tomorrow at 5pm at the white house. lockdown restrictions are tightened even further in israel, which now has one of the highest covid infection rates in the world. tributes have been paid to matt ratana, a british police officer shot dead in south london by a man who was being detained. blinded by the light — why the authorities in chile
