the mother of one man who was killed by the government she directed her attention to them directly and spoke to him directly and she said she forgave him for killing his son and she said she had no hate or desire for revenge now parents apparently reported the nodded in response and then blinked heavily and then wiped his eyes following the exchange so there was some level of maybe possibly some think that. he already has pleaded guilty and is facing a life sentence possibly without parole that will he speak in court. well the government dismissed his legal counsel earlier this year and he's chosen to represent himself which has. led many to speculate that he'd my trying some point trying to grandstand or saying some kind of message out to who knows what.

now authorities are taking steps to try and. avoid that so it's a prevent that from happening. limited the number of journalists and the courtroom allow them according to 10 and there and they are allowed to report twice a day once at lunch time and i want to let on of the day. but there is definitely no absolute way of preventing him from signing that's saying something so i. just have to see what happens in the coming guys i'll see you there thank you very much . thank you. hurricane marco and tropical storm laura tore through the caribbean and the gulf of mexico leaving massive destruction in their wake at least 11 people have died in the dominican republic and haiti both storms are expected to hit the u.s. gulf coast soon. i storm laura has already left a deadly mark on the dominican republic and its weight flooding that's left homes

trick us employees who trick the context of infected people i currently working in the regional authority if international standards were being met 4 times as many stuff would be required again nobody wants to officially comment on the problems eventually we reach a contract traced out by phone he works in the health department but in another part of spain where the grievances are similar. but it was simply need more contact tracers were all extremely stressed right now sheets of the heavy workload and because now there are so many new infections every day. as well as private companies the government in madrid is hoping for volunteers it's launched an appeal in the city's largest university but the few students who are on campus of us on my vacation don't understand this if it's dismissed the way they've managed all of that i don't like that they want all of this from us for free we've seen that they have commissioned private companies and there's certainly paid

a lot for that last time that i thought i would. go understands what the students are saying this spanish medic was once on the advisory team for barack obama's healthcare reforms now together with 900 experts he has written an open letter that message 3 criticizes spain's crisis management is now community transmission again which means you don't have just a local out. break control things are spread out they have to get their numbers under control before they even try to open schools or is encourage everybody to return to work contact tracing absolute finally be available by the time the holiday season and since september the 1st test on the island of luck will matter where promising but a much bigger question remains unanswered will spend yards be able to send their children back to school in 2 weeks time and in other news the world health organization is urging caution over the use of blood plasma from recovered patients

is even if it is corona we are partying tonight till the till the end in this case it's a big event you have to celebrate and if you add to the sense and amassed a fair amount that. those precautions went out the window as fans came together to celebrate the sick time for variants have won the competition special praise was reserved for coach hanzi flick who revived the team's flagging fortunes after taking over the reins mid-season. so it's just great they deserve it after the season they've had it's thanks to hand the flick who wasn't even in charge for the whole season it's unbelievable. and. meanwhile long faces in paris p.s.g. had invited several 1000 fans to watch a game on a giant street in its stadium when it was disappointed supporters spilled out onto the streets they vented back to stray shinma flares and fireworks requiring the

intervention of the paris police. hard from. sports joins me in the studio actually it's fair to say that wasn't the shootout that many have anticipated no but since a renowned for their attacking prowess but this was a typically tense if it is not a crowd there but you still got the sense of the occasion and straight away after maybe after 5 minutes or so this is going to be about a handful of months and those handful of the months they belonged to bomb the 1st one you think of as kingsley come on down the goal scorer in the match interestingly. born in paris and pretty much right he's been a football league since in the p.s.g. academy it was his goal that was the difference that was one of those moments obviously and if he flicked his moment it was deciding to pick come on he wasn't in the team and his rationale was well he used to play for p.s.g. so he might be x. from 0 to but it's a very retrograde decision that he made there in some sense of mental noise a couple of the moments belong to him as well in goal he was absolutely incredible 2 big saves and he's very much the reason that buying can go forward with such

a gratian and confidence because i know they've got a colossus behind them there's a little bit of life insurance absolutely. so you mentioned a couple who are what was by and single secret ingredient can you put your finger on the mount rushmore that i created maybe men will know it has to be one of them that you put up there kingsley come on naturally thomas modification lumps out of one mob that was a crucial job loss not but i think if you put want to head of all the others it's hansie flick he's the man who when he was announced as buying coach the they announced it and the narrative was straight away for good reason or this is just a replacement this is just a temporary appointment until they get the real one big 9 and so behind start winning through december and i roll on and on on this momentum just rolls on and then the board finally realizes hey this is this is our guy and he's 1st trick that he pulled was that he had to get people like noir like mullah to find

a cutting edge again that had signed much 6 world cups champions league already and 7 domestic totals how do you give them their age. and so he was able to reinvigorate those players and he did something really special that the board loved as he's gone and want to talk without opening the checkbook you manages to ignite friends by not asking for money he's not going to the border not for money and he's going with existing resources and he's pulled off something historic so by an incredibly successful club in german football how big of an achievement is this travel. brings you among the a late you know it's a footballing act of immortality to win the triple champions league you know carries that top of white anyway but to come from way they've come from to do it it's about being 4th in november 2nd the coach appointing a new one and then rolling on and on and on and going on the fate of the 6 months and the champions league is such a perfect crowning moment for this team that we're able to regenerate and i play

the big months we'll i'm in for german football it's people from outside look inside well they've won i laid titles in a row the league kompany good but it's just about how good these guys are not what's lacking in dortmund and shelter and everyone else they're an incredible side but they're an incredible club because every time the moment comes this something inside of these players when they play for this team that brings out the best at the right moments and then how do you know you support thank you. you're watching the w.'s coming up next ended up here news asia u.s. taiwan relations in focus again as the united states defacto ambassador to the island attends an event with taiwan's leader. and change into quarantine as the coronavirus pandemic prevents these arrival times from being released into the water. got out a lot more with my colleague here advantage a coming right up to this time god help us and
