12:41 am
gathered by police. instead, it was the local community who documented it. filming, begging... he's not responsive right now! ..and remonstrating with officers as derek chauvin knelt on george floyd's neck for nearly nine—and—a—half minutes. among them, the teenager without whom there may never have been a trial. it was a video filmed on her mobile phone that was seen around the world. a minor at the time, her face was not shown in court. when i look at george floyd, i look at... i look at my dad. i look at my brothers, i look at my cousins, my uncles. because they are all black. it's been nights, i stayed up apologising and... and apologising to george floyd for not doing more. you going to choke him like that? when their efforts to intervene failed, several members of this community reported what they'd seen. at some point did i
12:42 am
you make a 911 call? that is correct, i did call the police on the police. all right. and why did you do that? because i believe i witnessed a murder. derek chauvin's job was to police and protect this community. but so damning was the bystanders footage, along with the police body camera video, that his fellow officers turned against him. to continue to apply that level of force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back — that in no way shape or form is anything that is by policy ortraining, and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values. the defence had argued that george floyd's poor health and drug use had caused his death. but that was undermined by
12:43 am
evidence by a pulmonary doctor. a healthy person subjected to what mr floyd was subjected to would have died as a result. witness after witness spoke of the trauma they still experienced today. these bystanders documented an experience that, for many african—americans, is as familiar as it is painful. while this verdict may exceed what some thought might be possible, questions still remain about the value of a black life in america today. lebo diseko, bbc news, minneapolis. the floyd family lawyer, ben crump, hailed the guilty verdict is a turning point in history. america, let's pause for a moment to proclaim this
12:44 am
historical moment notjust for historical moment not just for the historical moment notjust for the legacy of george floyd, but for the legacy of america. the legacy of trying to make america for all americans. so that george floyd's victory and america's quest for equal justice under the law will be intertwined. america, let's frame this moment as a moment where we finally are getting close to living up to our declaration of independence, that we hold these truths to be self—evident, that all men are created equally, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that amongst them are life, liberty,
12:45 am
and the pursuit of happiness! well, america, that means all of us, that means black people, that means hispanic people! that means asian people, that means all of us, america! we frame this moment for all of us, notjust for george floyd. this is a victory for those who champion humanity over inhumanity, those who champion justice over injustice, those who champion morals over immorality. america, let's lean into this moment, and let's make sure, reverend al, that this moment will be documented for all children yet unborn as they continue on the journey to
12:46 am

12:47 am
and wouldn't let us die to stop and wouldn't let us die to stop and this is an assurance to them that if we don't give up, that we can win some rounds. but the war and the fight is not over. just two days from now, we're going to have to deal with the funeral of daunte wright in the same county, the same area. we still have cases to fight, but this gives us the energy to fight on. and we are determined that we will fight until we make federal law the george floyd justice in policing act. it must be law. reverend al sharpton speaking there. derek reverend al sharpton speaking there- derel— there. derek chauvin's trial has ut there. derek chauvin's trial has out no _ there. derek chauvin's trial has out no a _ there. derek chauvin's trial has put up a root _ there. derek chauvin's trial has put up a root nude - there. derek chauvin's trial. has put up a root nude focus there. derek chauvin's trial - has put up a root nude focus on the expansive african americans when it comes to law enforcement in the united states. it's also been highlighted by the death of a black man near limit ——
12:48 am
minneapolis after he was shot by police at a traffic stop. figures show that for african—americans, there is a much higher chance of being fatally shot relative to the overall numbers in the us population. aleem maqbool looks at the issue. good evening, for the second time in as many weeks... another african—american has been fatally shot by police. but she drew her gun instead. man, i been recording! it is an unending cycle... the protesters say they'll be back again on wednesday. ..of mourning, protest, and media spectacle... i want you and fox news to get out of baltimore city, because you're not here reporting about the boarded—up homes and homeless people under mlk! ..after the killing of another african—american at the hands of the police. and time and again have come the promises to do something about it. this is an issue we've been dealing with for too long, and it's time for us to make more progress than we've made. and i'm not interested in talk, i'm interested in action. but the focus often ends up being no broader than the explicit details
12:49 am
of each death and the individual officers involved. they happen, it happensl where they have to make a fast decision and some bad things happen. - they risk their lives every day to take care of us, but there are some bad apples. and when they occur, when they find them, they have to be sorted out. well, what i would say is this. if we're talking about bad apples, you know, we need to also be seeing good apples. and we don't see too many good apples stopping the bad apples from doing all these things. which leads me to believe that there is a problem at the root of the tree. but dealing with that problem needs acknowledgement from the police that something's wrong in the first place. i do not believe there is systemic racism and law enforcement in the united states _ and i think if you go behind the perceptions, if you go behind that hyperbole, you will see that is not the case. law enforcement officers every day go into communities that the people complaining
12:50 am
about them would not go into on a bet with their windows rolled up and their doors locked. so why then is the rate of black people being killed by the police so much higher than the rate of white people being killed by police? it's not. the doj figures are talking about nearly 30% of those killed by the police being black — and they're13% of the population in the us. and what was happening in those interactions when the individuals were shot? overwhelmingly, when people are shot by the police, they are engaged in activities of either assaulting the police, assaulting another person, or committing a crime. you just opened my car door — so you're gonna threaten - to drag me out of my own car? get out of the car! "give us proof that we're systemically racist" is still the refrain. wow. get out of the car! for a failure to signal? you're doing all this for a...? get over there! "people would be fine as long as they're not doing anything wrong," he says.
12:51 am
if he tells me that, you know, the earth is round, and i tell him to prove it, i don't think he's a physicist and i know he won't be able to pull out data to prove that. but we all know the earth is round because we're not stupid. so what i would tell him is, you need to talk to people who have experienced this. because clearly, he hasn't. the protests last year were meant to be a turning point — a moment of reckoning where america talked seriously about all aspects of racism, on how it affected poverty, education, mental health provision, and how that all impacted violence in policing. joe biden stood on a platform of addressing all those things and was elected in large part because black voters turned out for him. he's championed a justice in policing act — but it will need buy—in from states and, in many respects, police departments, as well. the people who you were talking about earlier who don't believe there's a problem and don't believe that there is racism
12:52 am
and systemic racism in the country will push back against it. but it's there, and those conversations have to be had, or else these things will continue and we will fix little things when there is really a bigger underlying problem causing everything that we're not touching. no racist police! nojustice, no peace! but for now, the list of dead keeps growing. the grim cycle so far proving impossible to break. the pandemic of racism and discrimination that killed george floyd. because, while we mayjust see their gut—wrenching final seconds, the death of each person and the reaction to it takes place with hundreds of years of racial injustice as its backdrop. the verdict came through just
12:53 am
under three hours ago. let's just look at the impact of that death of george floyd at the hands of derek chauvin and what it did in terms of the protests and movements that it sparked notjust in the us, but all around the world. paul adams has this report. when george floyd died, it wasn'tjust america that erupted. from auckland to iceland, from brazil to belgium, the reaction was global. why should a single man's face and his dying words appear on the bombed—out wreckage of a home in syria? i can't breathe, i can't breathe! george floyd! the virus i'm referring to is called racism. for many, it was about the police. in france, protesters recalled the death of adama traore four years earlier, a black man dying in police custody. in new zealand, maoris talked
12:54 am
of structural racism. and in brazil, police violence — mostly against black people — brought thousands onto the streets. black lives matter, a phrase and a movement with its roots in america, now swept across more than 60 countries. but this was also about history and a reckoning, especially with empire. in the english city of bristol, the statue of a slave trader was torn down, dumped in the harbour. in belgium, protesters targeted king leopold ii, held responsible for the death of millions in what is now the democratic republic of congo. and with the demonstrations came a powerful gesture. taking the knee wasn't new — the american football player colin kaepernick had first used it to protest police violence in 2016.
12:55 am
now, sports men and women around the world followed suit. other faces and other names have ricocheted across the world in the age of the internet. in iran, the dying face of neda agha—soltan drew worldwide attention to demands for democracy. and when a tunisian street vendor, mohamed bouazizi, set fire to himself, he lit a spark that raged across the arab world. but america is different, not perhaps the beacon of old but still a bellwether and a mirror. its conflicts, prejudices and crises echo around the world. paul adams, bbc news. derek chauvin is now in custody, potentially he could face a sentence of a0 years. previously he had been on a bond of $1 million and able to walk free. in the last half an hour or so, walk free. in the last half an hour orso, president walk free. in the last half an hour or so, president biden has talked about the systemic
12:56 am
racism in the country which black and brown americans face every single day. it must stop here, he says, "we must not tragedies like this happening again." hello. the weather is not expected to change very much over the next few days. the kind of weather where strong spring sunshine can make it feel quite warm by day, but at night, clear skies can still allow it to get cold and frosty. but it will remain mostly dry through the rest of the week. now, on the earlier satellite image, you can see this stripe of cloud here. this is a weakening weather front, not much rain left on it, but certainly more in the way of cloud as this sinks down across england and wales through the first part of wednesday. also some mist and murk, and low cloud lapping onto some southern coasts of england. so a bit of a grey start for parts of england and wales, even with the odd spot of rain, but it will brighten up with some sunny spells into the afternoon. scotland and northern ireland having a sunny but chilly start, and keeping hold of some sunshine through the day. just more in the way of cloud
12:57 am
and maybe the odd shower getting into shetland. quite a breezy day for many, and where you're exposed to that breeze along the east coast, temperatures may only get to 8—10 celsius. highest temperatures likely to be across the far southwest at 16—17 celsius, but here, there could just be the odd afternoon shower. any showers will fade through the evening, and through the night into the early hours of thursday, you can see long, clear spells across the country, allowing it to get cold. where you see the blue colours on the map, that's where we expect temperatures below freezing, but quite widely there'll be a touch of frost to take us into thursday morning. but for the end of the week, high pressure really will assert its influence right on top of the british isles. butjust around the southern flank of that high, we will have some quite brisk winds blowing across the channel islands, the south west of england, also affecting some southern and eastern coasts. but as you can see, largely cloud—free skies to start thursday, i think we'll see a bit of patchy cloud bubbling up through the day, but generally speaking, quite a lot of sunshine. highest temperatures in the west at 15—17 celsius,
12:58 am
but for eastern and also southern coasts, actually, particularly where we have that breeze in the south, it's going to feel on the chilly side. still quite windy down towards the south and the southwest on friday. a bit of cloud across scotland maybe squeezing out the odd spot of rain, but elsewhere it's dry with long spells of sunshine. a bit warmer by this stage, 17—18 celsius in some western areas. and as we head into the weekend, it stays largely dry, more of that strong sunshine by day but still the chance of some frosty nights.
