hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. minnepolis police says an officer who shot and killed a black man at a traffic stop had intended to use his taser. this appears to me from what i had viewed and the reaction, that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of mr wright. the local mayor has condemned violence during protests against the death of 20—year—old daunte wright — his mother was on the phone to him when he was stopped. he said he was getting pulled over by the police and i said, why? he said because he had freshness hanging from his mirror. tensions are already

it happened in the city of brooklyn centre, less than 20 minutes drive from minneapolis. over for a minor traffic violation on sunday afternoon. police then determined that he had an outstanding arrest warrant, and shot him after he re—entered his vehicle and attempted overnight, in the hours following, during this encounter, the officer drew a handgun instead of a taser. we train with our handguns on our dominant side and a taser on our weak side so if you are right—handed you carry your firearm weak side so if you are right—handed you carry yourfirearm on weak side so if you are right—handed you carry your firearm on the weak side so if you are right—handed you carry yourfirearm on the right side and carried a taser on the left. this is done purposefully and
7:04 pm
is trained. as i watched the video and listen to the officers commands, it is my belief the officer had the intention to deploy that his but instead shot mr wright with a single bullet. this appears to me, from what i have viewed and the officers reaction and distress imagery afterwards, that this was an accidental discharge. fix, afterwards, that this was an accidental discharge. a curfew was called but hundreds _ accidental discharge. a curfew was called but hundreds of— accidental discharge. a curfew was called but hundreds of protesters i called but hundreds of protesters gathered near the scene. police used tear gas. our correspondence has been following the events over the past couple of hours. what else to our viewers need to know about what has happened in the last 12 hours? we are still seeing here the brooklyn police department in riot gear, the national guard and some

7:09 pm
thejudge in denied a request from derek chauvin's lawyers to sequester the jurors, after protests took place nearby overnight following the police shooting of daunte wright. here's the latest from the trial. cardiologistjonathan rich was today called as an expert witness. dr rich has said that george floyd died from a cardiopulmonary arrest that was caused by low oxygen levels. he's also rebutted the defence's argument that drugs or a pre—existing health condition may have been a factor in mr floyd's death. in fact, the cardiologist said george floyd had an "exceptionally strong heart". after reviewing all the facts on the evidence of the case, i can state with a high degree of medical certainty that george floyd did not die from a primary cardiac event and he did not die from a drug overdose.
7:10 pm

7:11 pm

7:12 pm
soldier who is black and latina said he was frightened to unbuckle his seat belt, feeling in a confrontation with police that he had to keep both hands on display. take your seat belt off. eventually he got out of the car, was forced to the ground and handcuffed. in the end, he would be released without charge but the tenant is no longer happy to let things lie. officer nazario's lawyer said the police had to be held to account. he called the incident "absurd", and said his client was "not resisting, his hands were clearly visible, and he remained calm" throughout the ordeal. we hold officers accountable for this action, eventually we will not have another incident like this and thatis have another incident like this and that is why one of my client's major worries is, if the crime —— make if we try to stop this type of behaviour to protect everyone else from officers doing what they did
7:13 pm
a statement from officials in the town of windsor said officer gutierrez�*s employment had been terminated, and the incident had resulted in "disciplinary action, and department—wide requirements for additional training". the town has also requested an investigation by the virginia state police. virginia governor ralph northam also issued a statement, saying "the incident in windsor was disturbing here in the uk, parliament was reconvened a day early, allowing politicians to pay tribute to prince philip, who died on friday. britain's prime minister boris johnson said the duke of edinburgh
7:14 pm
"touched the lives of millions of people" and made britain "a better place". this country has had no royal champion to match him since prince albert. i know that in due course, the house and country will want to consider a suitable memorial to prince philip. the duke of edinburgh's grandsons have also been paying tribute to him. the duke of cambridge described him as an "extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation". "i will miss my grandpa, but i know he would want us to get on with thejob." a short while later prince harry released a statement saying his grandfather was "master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right �*till the end. prince harry has returned to the uk and is isolating ahead of the duke's
7:15 pm
funeral on saturday. his wife meghan is pregnant with their second child and has stayed in california. here's our royal correspondent daniela relph. there were a number of sightings of him as he flew in from california and they will be enormous interest in seeing harry back within the royal family here because of those strained relations there has been better clear after that interview that harry and megan did with oprah winfrey. there will be a great degree of focus on him but what we will see particularly in public at the funeral but i might be a united front from the royal family. as britain mourns the death of prince philip, they are joined by a tribal community on a pacific island thousands of miles away. a formal mourning period is now under as britain mourns the death of prince philip, way on the vanuatuan island of tanna, where for decades, two villages have revered the duke of edinburgh as a god—like
7:16 pm
way on the vanuatuan island of tanna, where for decades, for the next few weeks villagers will conduct rites for the duke, who is seen as a descendant of a very powerful spirit that lives on one of their mountains. more details about the duke of edinburgh's funeral on saturday have been released. prince philip is reported to have requested a funeral of minimal fuss — and only 30 people will be allowed at the ceremony due to coronavirus restrictions. he will lie at rest in the private chapel at windsor castle until saturday, when his coffin will be taken to st george's chapel, in the grounds of windsor castle, for a ceremonial royal funeral. the duke's coffin will be draped in his personalflag, and placed on a modified land rover, that the duke himself helped design, to be carried the short distance to st george's chapel. some commentators have described the ceremony as a chance for the royal family to regroup after a torrid few months. here's roya nikkhah, royal correspondent for the sunday times. there is no doubt that tensions have
7:17 pm
been extremely high over the last weeks. no one is going to pretend that saturday is going to be easy, it will be extremely difficult not only for her majesty the queen who is grieving but with this added dimension of the tensions that have gone before. we are only several weeks on from that interview harry and megan gave to oprah winfrey but we are, it has come very soon after that moment and if there is one opportunity for the royal family here, it is perhaps to put those tensions and differences aside at least for one day and to try and begin to heal. to be honest i think that will be a much longer process, i don't know whether something as painful as a funeralfor i don't know whether something as painful as a funeral for the head of the family is going to, it won't happen that quickly but it will be a good starting point for them stop at least they are all in one place and they will see each other altogether for the first time bubbly on saturday because harry has to isolate for the next five days but
7:18 pm
it gives them that opportunity to start to at least be together, talk to each other and start the process. meanwhile, some countries are relaxing restrictions. here's the head of the who. inconsistency in public health measures and their applications are driving transmission and costing lives. we could bring this pandemic under control in a matter of months. whether we do or not comes down to the decision and the actions that governments and individuals make every day. here's the context to that statement. this is global cases since the start of this year. you can see them falling
7:19 pm
in february, but rising again through march and april. imogen foulkes is in geneva. looking at what he is saying and also at that graph, it feels like this is a very important moment in the pandemic. we will look at brazil in a moment but there are certain countries is in restrictions but what he is trying to do is get people to not listen to much? i think that is right, this is the clearest message in the last few months we have had from him where he is saying, look, some of you are actually on the wrong path right now. i think there israel concern at the who, that in countries where the vaccines are starting to be rolled out and you can see for example here in europe, the other 80s have mostly been vaccinated now and they are not
7:20 pm
going to hospital any more, they are not getting the virus and everybody is thinking, that is great, we can all relax. what the who is saying is, no, no, we need to do more than that, you need to hang in there and on with the distancing, carry on with the mast wearing and hand washing, keeping people you meet to a love number. nobody want to hear that but who really fears that the good work that has been done in setting up tracing systems and developing a vaccine or a number of vaccines that work, that this could all be lost if things open up to quickly. new variants, possibly vaccine resistant variants emerge and we go back to the beginning again and of course nobody wants that. ~ ., ., again and of course nobody wants that. s ., ., i” 4' again and of course nobody wants that. ~ ., ., ,, ~ .,, that. who do you think he was s-ueakin that. who do you think he was speaking to. _ that. who do you think he was speaking to. i _ that. who do you think he was speaking to, i know _ that. who do you think he was speaking to, i know he - that. who do you think he was - speaking to, i know he mentioned governments. it is speaking to general public there or getting leaders to take note, what do you think? i

brazil, the variant in brazil which seems to be affecting young, healthy people. huge worries for the who are there. as soon as one country seem to get it under control, another country is at. 50 to get it under control, another country is at— to get it under control, another country is at. so many different trajectories _ country is at. so many different trajectories for _ country is at. so many different trajectories for this _ country is at. so many different trajectories for this disease, - trajectories for this disease, depending where in the world we are. thank you for bringing us up—to—date. now to brazil, where, in a worrying trend, more than half the coronavirus patients in intensive care are under a0 years old. the number of people aged 39 or younger being treated in icu jumped to more than 11,000, or 52% of the total. the number of people aged 39 or younger being treated in icu that's up from 14.6% early in the pandemic, according to the brazilian icu project. it puts the rise down to three factors: the vaccination of the elderly, young people continuing to go out to work, and the new brazilian variant.
7:23 pm
camilla mota is in sao paulo. good to have you with us and i am wondering how these figures have been received, whether it has trickled down to the general public that he could be in the icy you, evenif that he could be in the icy you, even if you are a younger brazilian? of course, there are always people that think that these stories will never happen to them, that it only happens to others but from what i have been seeing in the past few weeks, younger people here in brazil are getting more and more worried, seeing the statistics on the news developed because it is not only the fact that you could get sick and develop more severe cases of two, the thing is that if that happens, it might happen that you don't get access to treatment because hospitals are completely overwhelmed
7:24 pm
so you could just have to wait for a hospital bed to open up that mixes up hospital bed to open up that mixes up with the anxiety to know that by those people, a vaccination will come in a long time because the elderly and health care professionals have the priority on the vaccination line and that has been unfolding. immunisation has been unfolding. immunisation has been unfolding. immunisation has been unfolding here at a very slow pace. been unfolding here at a very slow ace. ., been unfolding here at a very slow ace, ., ., , , been unfolding here at a very slow ace. ., ., , . ., pace. how has the president changed his guidelines — pace. how has the president changed his guidelines or— pace. how has the president changed his guidelines or advice _ pace. how has the president changed his guidelines or advice to _ pace. how has the president changed his guidelines or advice to the - his guidelines or advice to the general public? there was a lot of stumbling at the beginning when it came to mast wearing or social distancing and he didn't want to lockdown? , ., , ., lockdown? yes, 13 months into the andemic lockdown? yes, 13 months into the pandemic stop _ lockdown? yes, 13 months into the pandemic stop he _ lockdown? yes, 13 months into the pandemic stop he has _ lockdown? yes, 13 months into the pandemic stop he has not - lockdown? yes, 13 months into the pandemic stop he has not really i pandemic stop he has not really changed his stance on the crisis. he has been denying the severity of the pandemic since the beginning and that has not really changed. but he usually does is divert people from what is important, he keeps saying
7:25 pm
instead of delivering a clear, concrete measure on what people should do, that they should wear masts, stay home, the president keeps saying that he doesn't agree with the partial logjams declared by governors and mayors to try to contain this deadly second wave and he keeps saying that he is going to do whatever he can to avoid these lockdown from happening. either more vaccines on the _ lockdown from happening. either more vaccines on the way _ lockdown from happening. either more vaccines on the way for _ lockdown from happening. either more vaccines on the way for brazil? - lockdown from happening. either more vaccines on the way for brazil? not - vaccines on the way for brazil? not reall . vaccines on the way for brazil? not really- many _ vaccines on the way for brazil? iirrt really. many also blame the federal government for this, for not preparing for this moment. one example often mentioned are on the missed opportunities the government had to close down and deal with pfizer, the 70 in doses at the health ministryjust ignored the pharmaceutical company until february she. don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter — i'm @bbcnuala.

dealing with at the moment, with high pressure in charge, things are mainly dry. but italy and southern areas, there has not been significant rainfall for the last few weeks. they will be a few showers around the coast in the west to begin with and some more showers will crop up during the day, mainly across the western half of the country. the winds are slowly moving and they could with some summer when tunis over the tops of the hills but overall, temperatures a little bit on what we have seen today. to put those temperatures into perspective, yes, they are up a motley have seen through monday afternoon but tuesday afternoon is still three degrees below where we should be at the stage in april. another cold night taking us into wednesday. mist and the patches in the morning to go with the frost but most will have a dry day, good sunny spells. but you will notice specially in instant parts of england, an onshore breeze coming off a chilly sea and that is
7:28 pm
because an area of high pressure is with us and the bins are circulating around as it shifts its way further northwards and we allow those winds to develop, bringing in those cooler conditions and on thursday, greater chance of showers. most, a bright start with some sunshine. temperatures 13 degrees at the highest. as for the rest of the week, to take us through friday into the weekend, temperatures rise a little bit. dry for much of england and wales. rain for scotland and northern ireland.

battling the worst wildfires in almost 20 years. china's top disease control official says... china was considering mixing vaccines as a way of boosting the efficacy. china is developing four homemade covid—19 vaccines. only one of them has been given full approval for use. none of them has been given full approvalfor for use. none of them has been given full approval for use abroad. nonetheless, china is ramping up its inoculation programme and it's also using its vaccines for diplomatic leverage. giving them to countries abroad or agreeing to sell them. the last 24 hours has shown how challenging it is for this country to have anything like an open discussion about the efficacy of some of these homemade vaccines.
7:49 pm
george gao, this country's most senior official when it comes to disease control, did say over the weekend that maybe mixing up vaccines in terms of their deliverance would make it better in terms of those that didn't have very high protection rates. now, he wasn't explicitly referring to chinese homemade products, but sinovac biotech in terms of its vaccine has shown to have an efficacy ofjust under 50% orjust above. foreign competitors are well into the 90%, so it appears he was talking about the homemade products. but since then, we've had clarification. we've had him tell state media here it was a misunderstanding. this was also in the context of china trying to use, as i said, its homemade vaccines for maximum diplomatic leverage, and also convince more and more people here to take the vaccines. it's ramping up the delivery programme. it's trying to aim for the majority

7:51 pm
for their patience and wise attitude regarding the lifting of us sanctions. iran�*s response will be revenge on the zionist regime at the right time and place. here�*s what we know. on saturday, iran announced that new advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium had been activated at its natanz nuclear facility in central iran. this is the plant. it�*s iran�*s only uranium enrichment site and lies deep beneath its mountains, which is supposed to make it difficult to attack from the air. however, not impossible. us intelligence officials told the new york times that the blackout was caused by an explosion, which wiped the independent internal power system that supplied the centrifuges. they estimated it could take at least nine months to resume enrichment, while an iranian nuclear official said this on the damage — the blast had created a crater so big that he had fallen into it, injuring his face. iranian state media reports that intelligence officials have identified the �*main perpetrator�*, adding that "necessary measures are being taken to arrest this person".
7:52 pm
and here�*s iran�*s nuclear chief on how the plant is operating now. translation: we started up - the emergency power system just today and will hopefully reconnect the main power supply within the coming days, and the rest of the measures will take place as well. so, that�*s the view from iran. israel hasn�*t publicly said it carried out the attack. however, israeli public broadcaster kan reports the power cut was caused by a mossad spy agency �*cyber operation�*, while the haaretz newspaper also said the incident could be assumed to be an israeli cyber attack. we�*ve also heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. in the middle east, there is no threat — in the middle east, there is no threat that is more serious, more dangerous, — threat that is more serious, more dangerous, more pressing than that posed _ dangerous, more pressing than that posed by— dangerous, more pressing than that posed by the fanatical regime in iran~ _ posed by the fanatical regime in iran~ iran— posed by the fanatical regime in iran. iran continues to support terrorist — iran. iran continues to support
