she was known for her black clothes and incredible voice beauty at the french singer and cultural icon dies at the age of $93.00. i'm rebecca richards welcome to the program police in the u.s. say 2 officers have been shot and wounded during racial justice protests in the city of louisville demonstrations erupted across the country after it was announced that police would face no charges for killing black women brianna tyler in march the mayor of louisville taylor's hometown has declared a curfew for the next 3 nights it was shot dead when police raided her apartment on a so-called no. no knock warrant one officer has been charged but only with

endangering tyler's neighborhoods not with her murder and killing was one of several deaths of black people at the hands of police that set off months of anti racism protests in the united states. correspondent stefan simons is standing by for us in louisville kentucky stefan protests are being held in cities across the u.s. but your entire as hometown where she was killed what's been happening there. you know look at behind me you wouldn't believe what was the picture here just hours ago now we're here at the impromptu memorial or vigil for rianna taylor here at the jefferson park square here in downtown louisville and hours ago this place was packed was packed with protesters was also packed with police with law enforcement hundreds of them and what happened was the protesters took off this place in

marches throughout the town police followed as they immediately came to scuffles after the grand jury announced that there will be any charges no arrests no charges filed against any of those officers who were involved in shooting rio not every one of taylor's 6 times to death. after that what happened 46 arrests also i think this is number increased there were more arrests later on as well as 2 police officers actually got shot they are in the hospital one is as we understand still in surgery but both. officers are not suffering from wounds which are endangering their lives we're told and of course police now is asking for help public help in finding finding more out about who shot them they have one suspect in custody. have an elaborate for us if you will a little bit about this decision that spot things protests why were none of the offices charged with murder or even manslaughter. excellent question

and i don't have an easy or simple answer for you because i don't know. your experts don't know the attorney of the taylor family doesn't really know and had to succumb to saying like this is a total disgrace this decision the attorney general of the state kentucky has said he followed the law the state law and there was no room and no space allowing him to charge any of those officers directly and that is key here directly to the death of briona taylor that's why we already have a charge off and danger meant in the 1st degree and 3 counts of this for one officer the other 2 weren't even charged that is literally no charge against any of the law enforcement involved in the death of briana taylor and of course this is not sitting well with anybody here people are actually at an absolute loss how this can happen and no justice no peace this is what we heard all day long this is what

we're going to and we will hear this for the next few days and nights not only here in louisville kentucky i'm sure about that i'm not the end of this story that is death and simon standing by for us in louisville thanks very much for the. well let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. is paying tribute over 3 days to the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg she will lie in state in the u.s. capital president trump plans to nominate her replacement before november's election. and president trump has refused to commit to a smooth transfer of power if he loses november's presidential election he told reporters quote we'll have to say what happens because question the legitimacy of the election should he lose i mean postal voting is susceptible to fraud. in the u.s. state of california is to ban the sale of all gasoline powered cars by 2035 governor

for a year because it is a poor neighborhood where many live in overcrowded conditions that's resulted in one of the highest infection rates in the city 6 times higher than more prosperous districts in the north. many residents in by yet because have to travel to madrid to return neighborhoods for work often as cleaners or waiters many workers say the near rules are a reasonable. way it's shameful i have to take the metro to go to work i could infect myself or others what's the point of these measures. it's completely unjust other areas have also many cases only a lockdown in the whole of madrid would make sense. many in the south of madrid feel discriminated against and neglected over the past years by year because health centers suffered several cuts to its budget

a sign on the door worries that the clinic is down 5 doctors a fatal lack of staff in the midst of a pandemic. we are without doctors nurses and money pretty much everything we are exhausted the class conflict has also reached madrid opera house. on sunday it hosted r. and dition a very dismasted bowl while the cheaper upper tears were crammed. down below in the most expensive sitting areas there was plenty of space the 1st social distancing. protests in the upper tiers were so persistent that the performance had to be stopped. as targeted lockdowns divide to city the coronavirus is also beginning to split moderate society. france is also tightening its coded restrictions as pressure grows on hospitals in viral hotspots and the government attempts to avoid

a new nationwide lockdown bars and restaurants will be closed in the worst hit areas from saturday ministers are urging people to work from home and to stop gathering with friends and family france is one of the most seriously affected countries in europe with more than 30000 deaths. of more elizabeth journalist and elizabeth joins me from paris and elizabeth tell us a little bit more about the measures that the french government is introducing. the french government has decided that to our distinguish zoom in the country in 3 categories red reinforced red and maximal its sounds a bit like but much worse and and absolutely worse and what is in fact is that from reinforced red. and that's 11 citizen france in

paris little to lose sensitive hand who are. more politically bought door your a nice. and you have measures of socialist and saying no rain gatherings and. the general letters that are comparable level as well but you've got maximal in the in x. much say and when you which means that he cannot meet and there's an early closing of gaza and i can treat which cannot remain open between 10 pm you cannot be gatherings of people outside more than 10210000 people that cannot be all local pastor mills and 2 daughters have been cancelled you cannot have gatherings and more than 10 people in public spaces. beaches parks etc there are closed spots halls given that assumes confined spaces where you can't

wear a mask and all faster that to the teachers and bars and that's the thing that is putting people in arms cafes in bars now that closed after 10 pm and other reactions are very much like in spain with places that are in maximal saying that they're being discriminated against opposed to places that are only reinforced red x. palacios complaining that nice and areas have the same all those the same rates of good and they do are not subject to quite the same scrutiny and this can be strengthened our show evaluation every 15 days what do you think is france headed for a new national lockdown. i think not and i think those measures which australians are especially because the country by now is also terribly worried about the. crisis that is new to. the the fact that companies have started laying off the largest chain of french hypermarkets osho has already fired 1500 people

and these measures precisely to let children good school and never let people keep working even if they work mostly from blue mostly because they think that the economy cannot get journalist analysts but mutate thank you very much for the update. well some breaking news coming in hong kong pro-democracy activist joshua wang has been arrested in the territory according to a post on his official twitter account the tweet says that one was taken into custody on suspicion of taking part in an unauthorized assembly last october wang is the most high profile fake it to be detained in hong kong since the arrest of pro-democracy media tycoon jean ely last month we will have more details on this breaking news story as and when it comes in. well 12 young hong kong activists who tried to flee to taiwan by say last month didn't

make it they were detained by chinese authorities since then they have not been allowed to see their families although it's these old album is one of the few things connecting jason the you and his younger brother luke the man who has lost contact with his family over the last month the husbands didn't was among 12 detainees ranging in age from 16 to 33 intercepted by the chinese coast guard while allegedly by a speedboat from hong kong to taiwan they were then sent into custody in mainland china for what was termed illegal border crossing jayson's brothers bent his 85th birthday in detention. we feel helpless before my dad gets drunk when he looks at our family photos i've enjoyed numerous sleepless nights because i'm worried my brother could be facing unfair treatment in

mainland china the worst scenario we can imagine is that we won't see my brother for a decade or more. his brother and most of the detainees are facing charges in hong kong relating to the n.t. government protest last year the charges include arson and rioting one of the detainees was arrested last month under the sweeping national security law imposed by beijing chinese authorities haven't allowed any of them to meet lawyers hired by their families instead assigning government appointed lawyers the detainees families have been trying to get hong kong's off guard who used to help but think they became even more anxious when the chinese foreign ministry spokesman labeled a 12 separatist jason sets the lawyer hired by his family has also been pressured to quit what the authorities consider to be a sensitive case in the. it's far

fetched and irrelevant to call illegal border crossing separatism i think for 12 of them fled hong kong because they were losing confidence in the independence of the judiciary with hong kong authorities have been indifferent to our demands perhaps because those in custody are activists. the un human rights office and the u.s. secretary of state have both called on china to ensure they will process and legal rights it also concerns whether the issue will be after a diplomatically that's one of the detainees is a particular national. post good wishes is perhaps the very least the porters can do the main 40 is have to decide whether to formally arrested detained by 1st of october which is the chinese after the festival and the traditional day our family reunion opposition lawmaker added to is following the case but this not optimistic .

they would definitely be used. as a whole. to 3 years to become a bargaining chip as us china tensions. the european commission has unveiled a new migration and asylum strategy the plan proposes that e.u. member states which refuse to accept all migrants hungry in poland would instead take on other functions such as deporting rejected asylum seekers migration is one of the most politically divisive issues within the bloc. on the greek island fit for 500 people it houses 5000. it was meant to be a transit point but

a backlog migration system has turned it into a home for so many. routes on the 2 years i've been here not good. conditions are squalid this place and these people are why europe is finally confronting this crisis presenting her proposal the european commission president called on member states to rise to the challenge. this package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden the migration pact includes compulsory pre entry screening with fingerprinting and a health check a faster 12 week asylum processing target and a sponsored return scheme that would see member states take responsibility for returning migrants on behalf of other member states. the plan abandons previous

efforts to relocate new arrivals or rome to 27 member states something opposed to by the likes of hungry i'm paul and enjoy your see that could create havoc in the mediterranean. member states frontline member states like italy greece and and multi. will be reluctant to cooperate if there isn't any sort of mandatory relocation and then they might not disembark our ships that have been rescued and then migrants remain stranded so a lot will depend on the willingness of either member states which in the last 5 years has not been a very high. the commission hopes the scenes of a farming migrant camp on the greek island of lay's poles will be the catalyst for change. morea is a stark reminder we need to find sustainable solutions on migration and we all have to step up. moreas residents in another makeshift camp can only

hope that action comes sooner rather than later. i'm joined now by josie norton she's the founder and c.e.o. of the organization to help refugees so it's good to have you with in the migration pack which has been agreed we hear a lot about return schemes and not much about relocation and help for refugees what do you make of the deal you know it's not the reset that was promised the proposed would you proceed to kind of just feels like. education at the current approach that we have now which we all all know to clint's quite so it's often there as you say that's a real fixation on tans and i think we feel very worried that that is going to endanger fat procedure we already see this year kind of sometimes it's speeded up process and what that's meant is people haven't had access to legal a had their back came with checked very quickly that hasn't been fab process and

then of course if someone hasn't had a fair process they likely to be sent back to a country where they like the rest so it's really a fundamental danger to human rights do you think this pact will some relief to southern european countries like greece and italy who are hosting the most of the migrants that arrive. i think because they've made border prosy is a different approach again this is once again going to put the biggest amount of responsibility on those countries and we already seen over the last year is that there are those systems in place in order to make these processes work quickly to make these counts up to any kind of standards and in fact kind of rhetorical we're hearing makes us think that these counts are going to be that people are going to have less rights and you know it's scary to think about the possibility of case facilities as just something that's not acceptable in your. now most member states back the plan will deter migrants in the future do you think. i'm not

sure that it's necessarily the will of all the e.u. member states as the vice president stated themselves this pact is a compromise and i think that so much of the of the problem and you know that they what they did in 2016 with the deal then that intended to stem the flow of people but the bottom line is people who are fleeing their homes because they have no other choice so we know that i don't i don't think it is guns that going to stop people because they have no other choice stepping control persecution and we need to look at the root causes of why this is happening and come together you know the phrase solidarity that was mentioned so many times who is that so that we need to be having solidarity with these displaced communities right josie norton from the ngo help refugees thanks very much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news this hour police in belarus have
