he has to connect the dots so to speak prosecution will reiterate everything and connect to everything in their closing argument they have brought forward in the last 2 weeks they brought 38 witnesses and experts to the stand and now they're making their points again in summary so to speak the defense will try the same thing as we heard in the piece prosecution focused on saying this was unnecessary measures taken by. which caused the death of george floyd and the as pointed out in the piece we saw and by you and the defense will try now in conclusion again to poke holes into this and say no this was not the only cause at least not the only cause if at all the cause because mr floyd had some drugs in his bloodstream in the system that's again the closing argument after that the jury's owners are on their juries and are on their own to do we know when we can expect a verdict. well we can but of course they are all kinds of options so
4:16 pm
remember. it takes all jurors to agree on a sentence or a guilty or not guilty verdict and they can do this with 3 in 3 charges as you as we mentioned the. second degree murder charge the 3rd degree murder charge and the 2nd degree manslaughter charge so there is no telling if this is going to be really quickly done in a day or 2 if they need 2 days to deliberate fully sequestered by the way not not allowed to contact anybody but family in the evening and then not allowed to talk about the trial but otherwise no outside contact for the jurors. or it could take longer than this if it takes longer than this experts are of the same opinion that the longer it takes the more. it is for the prosecution potentially and the better for the defense so the quicker this is over the jury deliberates and then
4:17 pm
decides on guilty or not guilty various the better we will see we have to wait we have to wait indeed to and briefly if you can assignment this is a very very crucial trial in the u.s. that's closely followed. of course you have no idea if this is the entire nation is watching this trial is a historic charge and it's absolutely unheard of remember highlight of this of the proceeding was that the so-called blue wall was not just cracked she cried it crumbled the silence normally police officers put around and protection put around other police officers who did or did not something wrong whatever allegedly wrong this crime with the police chief came and said it was all wrong it was bad it was against policy so yes the nation's eyes everybody's eyes even the white house is watching this very closely and this city this state and this country is on edge as i think it's fair to say everybody is on edge everybody wants to see how this will
4:18 pm
pan out. this is going to be a in quotes wrong verdict there is the fear that violence will be happening and occurring all over the country not just here 7 seems reporting from right outside the courthouse in minneapolis thank you. and staying in the us the country has started offering coronavirus vaccines to teenagers young people age 16 and up can now receive the biotech finds or shot and anyone 18 and up can get the return of vaccine it's a chance for teens to finally get out of the house again and the difference. daily training during the penn demick that's how these 2 brothers have gotten through the last month both. get vaccinated yes as promised teenagers a jap the new future being that age is hard enough with the code restrictions it has been even more challenging i think for me it's a mental health and of course like school the thing i was worried like having bag
4:19 pm
but then i went to school and debbie hine but i think that ways to catch up with academics might with growth and socialization you know it's that's high that the school has been moved into the living room the boys come to wait to get their bikes and. i think you know so it keeps the people my people around me safer and i don't keep myself safe too i think so when we bring a little normality back i don't miss school exactly but the people in school because you know it it's really difficult not to interact people and talk to people . and yeah i mean he's an awesome guy he's just my brother. you know friend. them an additional obstacle mosques. it's very hard to see people's expressions and it just gives
4:20 pm
a sense of like you're talking to a wall. this is a body you. know you look at the u.s. this quick with vaccinations but in the other countries the restrictions remain i would definitely i would use like my social skills. already way not very not the most social going personally. but. i think i would not really be good for me on this one trying to go back to school b.c. brown is a social worker and sees a huge opportunity in teenage makes the nation teens need to be with their peers and need to be taking social risks and doing things on their own outside of the confines of their family home for a teenager to have the opportunity to be vaccinated i think is tremendous to give them that freedom to move about with
4:21 pm
a lot more confidence for both themselves and for their parents that they can go about their lives and do the things that they're developmentally supposed to be doing right now outside of the u.s. most teenagers don't have access to the vaccine yet they have to find other ways to keep going. it's paul reporting there now to some other developments in the penn demick and now more than half of all adults in the united states have received at least one dose of a covert $1000.00 vaccine meanwhile india's capital delhi is entering a weeklong lockdown the city and the rest of the country are struggling to contain a huge surge in corona virus cases authorities say the health care system is that breaking point and british scientists are launching a trial to examine the immune response of people who have already have the coronavirus scientists will deliberately expose participants to the virus and see if they get reinfected. well as millions of people around the world remain

4:31 pm
i'm british by the welcome to d.w. news a show of glad you could join us india's capital delhi is going into a 6th in lockdown as authorities contend with a huge surge in covert 1000 cases delhi's chief minister says the city's health system has reached its limits and harsh measures are needed to prevent its collapse the number of confirmed new infections has been breaking records almost every day. many in india thought they had got the better of the pandemic. but now the country is being overwhelmed by a devastating new way. no city is as badly hit as delhi. as cases explode hospitals there are breaking point. some patients are forced to share bat. and there's an acute shortage of oxygen.
4:32 pm
this is the chief minister says the system has reached its limits. the beds for covert 900 patients often ling up rapidly patients are being admitted to the hospitals very quickly intensive care beds are in short supply and less than 100 i.c.u. beds are available in delhi. authorities in delhi had already imposed a lockdown over the weekend ordering all but essential services to close. local leaders hope the decision to step up the measures will help to mitigate the crisis some welcome the restrictions but others fear if they're not allowed to work the consequences could be drastic. it is essential that there's a lot down here because right now the virus is spreading a lot. the problem with a lot of town is
4:33 pm
a daily wage and as you get 100 to 300 rupees a day well we go how will we eat well when we sleep is the government going to come and give us this daily wage. but now with one in 3 tests in delhi turning out positive the government say it must act to avert a greater disaster but the fear is that the surge in cases is due to a new more infectious variant of the virus they're calling on people to be more disciplined about sticking to the rules. but critics are also asking why religious festivals and political rallies that's a fuelling cases as participants return to cities like delhi are still being allowed to go ahead. for tens of thousands of families such questions come too late. and if current trends persist then many more will find themselves in the same tragic situation. and for more we're joined now by
4:34 pm
the debris correspondent in delhi when iraq how bad is the situation in dili well how bad the situation is the fact that the government is treating the restrictions on the like of you to the meeting co-q and. has announced a week long ago that you starting tonight when we talk about health care just. as some people are calling it there are all of those all of those running out of general beds as well as beds result a she's regulators oxygen supply even supply of medication we get to see people running from hospital to looking for bed looking to get their loved ones and we did but that is not happening people are actually seeing that there's a light was out and in on and out with this week local q. announced recant perhaps here if you don't love my good work are excellent as well which of course was a little bit no no this isn't of course the 1st time
4:35 pm
a deli has been in this situation i'm wondering bar have no lessons been learned from last summer. well they should just lot exist back or do a dr a do it last week 1st or even the rising cases he clearly said that he hadn't learned a lesson only the government would have been better if the bad be had a go to do that people would have been more careful and be are seen as elected to reason the only difference is it is much less much and much more at the 5 right now and the doctors and the medical or the sludge that i've spoken to in the course of the week are not when it's in their words they say that the situation is out of that and it can't get much once and there's also just started its biggest ever increasing coronavirus cases of destroying more than 270000 in a single day what is leading to this increased mañana let a jury still out on what could have triggered a relay does that leave us seeing it is far more infectious than what we saw last
4:36 pm
year so we're saying that it was the cause of ordinary people to closely keep people stopped following relations the point political of the government was also lastly implementing that their exploits are also saying that it's had a lot to do with this new edition of the last one of the double nugent's 3 and a spa and they just don't want this all up to you but i have a point in one of course is that there couldn't be things which would have been implemented on time into the situation for example if the government allowed me allowed which they say they're not just in the religious testament and it's only now off the situation but much worse that some rituals have stopped these are hundreds of thousands of people just as lucky as doing all the ritual of the now these people and they go back to their respective hold our villages and states we can see what i didn't actually didn't say and at the same time they have elections that is being organized including by the national party that might be sent to when you're out there on the last night and please stay safe and thank you for your
4:37 pm
reporting. chinese military aircraft event to taiwan's defense on multiple times in recent weeks raising tensions in the region and increasing pressure on taiwan to respond the biden administration has thrown its weight behind sending any sort of used to the island last week to reaffirm u.s. support taiwan has long been a source of contention between beijing which sees the island as its territory and washington which supports taiwan's democracy. china is no stranger to military posturing in the sea and air around taiwan earlier this month taiwan said a record $25.00 chinese fighter planes entered its defense zone. the lounging at craft carrier has been holding drills near the island raising fears china may be gearing up for an attack. it's why u.s. delegation has visited taipei to reiterate support for its pacific partner.
4:38 pm
i can say with confidence that the united states partnership with one is stronger than ever we share deep economic ties. to democratic values and a critically important security partnership where i'd like to take this opportunity to thank the biden administration for repeating the importance of peace and stability across the taiwan strait recently china has frequently dispatched military vessels and aircraft this action also has the status quo in the in deposit pick and threatens regional peace and stability taiwan's military is dwarfed by china's that's not stopped it from some saber rattling of its own. the recent unveiling of a new taiwanese amphibious transport ship. china sees taiwan as part of its territory and is trying to head off any ideas of independence the u.s.
4:39 pm
visit has. the taiwan issue concerns china's sovereignty and territorial integrity and china's core interests china has no room for compromise the us to have a clear understanding of the situation and history abide by the one china principle and not play with fire on the taiwan issue or. the u.s. has its own presence in the area and has been shadowing allow neighing this photo posted on the u.s. navy web site taking posturing to another level analysts believe china wants to send a warning rather than in tech liberation of war but with both sides raising the stakes the fear is that one misstep could cause tensions to boil over. and for more i'm joined by the double correspondent william young from taipei william how has taiwan
4:40 pm
responded to recent chinese military diversity on the island. so just this afternoon we learned that the taiwanese defense ministry is planning to buy more long range missile from the united states and in recent weeks we have also learned that taiwan it is launching its own. like defense programs and i was a little like developing this on weapons as we see china's pattern of increasing the sending their military aircraft into time when a.d.i.z. in the southwestern part of taiwan might taiwan has also changed its own strath strategies rather than standing its fighter jets up and intercept the chinese fighter jets all the time shot taiwan is using its long range missiles to try to track and see if the chinese military aircraft has done anything that really threatens time when security talk to us a bit about the overall when you strategy we see that china has really changed its
4:41 pm
strategy it has become a lot more ambiguous about the intention or the motives behind as military moves and experts have repeatedly warned taiwan if it continues to use its for force to respond that is not only going to put a lot of stress on its financial the air force and the naval force finance but also at the same time it's taking away the time for its soldiers to train for the new weapons and for other different kinds of strategies that they can use and real battles so taiwan has really learned to become more patient because they're smart and at the same time also become more ambiguous when it comes to however spawn to the frequent chinese military threats and aggression the last big u.s. president joe biden and japanese prime minister you should he decide you should a joint statement and underline the importance of going to be some stability in the taiwan straits how's that being viewed in taiwan. i think that increased
4:42 pm
participation from japan side as definitely of being the very positively and we are a lot of the people most people here in taiwan believe the united states is behind japan to try to push tokyo to become more committed and publicly like more engaged in the defense of taiwan because at the end of the day experts and japan and the united states government all know the. security of timeline is very important for the security of japan if china is able to project its power across and be on the 1st island chain that's the 1st country that's going to immediately be threatened is japan so that's very public and a rare move from both tokyo and washington is being considered as a transition in the long term regional strategy for both. the u.s. u.s. allies but also for the japanese allies and the for japan itself as well we're going
4:43 pm
in time for thank you for that. and of course that is an issue that you can find more information about on the web site. forward slash that's it for today the fact of the same time with more news in the fight. the fight against the coronavirus tend to make. the rate of infection in developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus update 19. on t.w. . it was kind of a bunch of the queen because i want to be a gemini with me the last few years have been quite. aware of it on the
4:44 pm
home but when it comes to jump is on the. verge is perhaps the biggest on the new blood i'm going down the road i'd love to be in the beauty better prison they're at home but when you feed them all the giving you realize it's called just another way of never they are you ready to be the servant and very right just do it. 3000000 people have died from the corona virus. most of the victims in the united states and brazil. but this whole. powerful americans have received their 1st vaccination powerful israelis have received 2 jabs by for them is returning to normal. but mutations could change that if they find a way to have a doubt body's immune response. the world health organization warns cases in many
4:45 pm
countries are still rising at an alarming rate some other nations are confident they're over the worst our correspondent tanya crema reports from israel where a rapid vaccination program has brought with it some welcome freedoms. they're taking it easy at this outdoor cafe in the center of tel of the for this is censored life is gradually returning to normal the government has rolled back many restrictions onus her is cautiously optimistic. we have the feeling that it's over it's not it's a relief i feel the virus is no longer a threat as everyone here has been vaccinated carlos mencia colors enough already look even my mask had enough. case numbers in israel have fallen sharply thanks to one of the world's fastest vaccination drives some restrictions remain such as sparing masks and the green paris vaccination certificate is required in
4:46 pm
some venue. after 3 hard lockdowns people are not taking things for granted sam a clear it's great that things are getting back to normal of course i'm still wearing a mask be a cautious stay still fear you can't shake it off that quickly my hair over half. of the population of 9000000 israelis has been fully vaccinated but israel has been criticized for failing to supply vaccines to more palestinians in the occupied west bank and gaza a covert 19 unit in a converted parking lot at sheba hospital near tel aviv 1st closed recently public debate has now turned to vaccinating children under 16 the spread of new variants and how long the vaccines will offer protection going back to school and back to call meals people are back in workplaces and are vaccinated and we see a decline in cases where people are generally very optimistic of course the science
4:47 pm
is a little bit more cautious and we have to be very careful in assessing new valiant's in looking carefully at their vaccine effectiveness to keep variants at bay travis tritt since are still in place as here at ben gurion airport foreignness need a special permit to enter only by late may small groups of that see need to tourists will be allowed. for now israelis and joining their newfound freedom the pandemic is far from over but at least in the bubble of tel aviv it almost feels like it could be. a eyelash on who was in that report there joins us from tel aviv is the director of israel's largest hospital the sheba medical center just how close is israel to the end of the pandemic would you say. by all means israel is seeing substantial decline in number of concerns however
4:48 pm
we're not at the end of the. limitations on travel. risks always surgeons all the. number of reasons and you've still got a lot of palestinians to get vaccinated. will the palestinians then look inside israel were also seen as india and many thousands of them wilcoxon it did for what i understand and i'm not especially still international law so the palestinian authority has the jurisdiction only health certainly poor vision fully incidence of the palestinian authority however as a doctor when it fails and i think israel should do anything in its own will to help the palestinian authority flaxen aid the population is who is boss. there are others who argue it's israel's responsibility and at the same time i mean what's the point of getting israel vaccinated or israelis vaccinated when its neighbors an
4:49 pm
option as. to would throw of people of course in that region and we're also talking about a globalised world what's what's the use of the country getting vaccinated when other countries haven't even begun well i fully agree that while this is a globalised world world and there are many connections between populations countries need to support each other in trying to achieve the highest marks in companies globally and not only in specific countries however health inequities are not a new issue or topic in global health there are many health inequalities between the euro pms in the african countries for example in this is only just one specific example of how health inequalities impact the global population so from your scientific perspective how should israel proceed to ensure that all of the
4:50 pm
progress it's made which is fantastic isn't undone. well one subject that needs strengthening is the superior lens we need to continue looking for breakthrough cases and outbreaks in try and contain them through classic public health measures such as call in team in isolation we need to make sure that people who enter israel for me bold get tested for core lead in do not list the population by inserting their files breaking israel in of course as i mentioned we need to support the global effort to lower the leask immunity if i was eventually you said in that report we have to be very careful in assessing you variance in the effectiveness and your ration of vaccines as a new study which hasn't yet been peer reviewed but it shows a small amount of fully vaccinated people can get infected with the variant 1st discovered in south africa is that or could we perceive that as the 1st evidence of
4:51 pm
vaccines may not work against some mutations. will we have entirely if we didn't support lowered effectiveness of some of the vaccines against some of the variants of concern including the valiant that was identified in south africa we don't have and we danced to 2 so called it to the box inside substantially lower clinical effect so in simple words it may be that the box in still prevents a real disease was actually in this form is caused by these valiance of parts in it that people take to it but perhaps the effect is efficacy against transmission in mild infections is low and for some of the valiance dissolution is a thing as much di ta is possible by subway lines in be prepared the contingency flow in plan by possible changes to the vaccine.
4:52 pm
induced until bodies so that they fit know how to dance in. the door says hold those who are boxing or israel is considered a world champion in surveillance as well this study suggests mutations keep finding ways to evade the body's immune response how can we deal with that danger posed by new mutations that. yet so again some fine tuning we are talking about infection there is no evidence that these fully vaccinated people who were infected didn't have did have a simple disease so the vaccine may steal the body against serbia disease which is the primary objective of uk seem we don't want someone to be severely ill but they may still be infected in the only way that we can control such immune invasion against infection is to develop vaccines that are specifically more effective
4:53 pm
against these valiance of concern wide maintaining day public health classic measures of isolation and quarantine if we see an outbreak of this type of value of consent a lesson the director of the set of a travel medicine and tropical diseases thank you very much for joining us today. and over now to our science correspondent eric williams who has an interesting question today about covert and vegetarian. budgetary ins and deacons get less sick if they catch covert 19. i was surprised at 1st at how little clear data i could find on this topic but i guess i shouldn't ban i mean what constitutes a healthy diet after all has always been controversial but i can say that i found no reliable studies establishing any direct selects between
4:54 pm
diet and covert severity what i mean by that is that no new evidence in the course of the pandemic has for example caused the world health organization to change its dietary recommendations although the w.h.o. certainly emphasizes the central role that fresh produce plays in a healthy diet it also continues to recommend the consumption of certain animal based products as good sources of protein that said in direct links to diet have been established because while eating mostly on process plant based products doesn't guarantee perfect tells the many studies have shown that it does help reduce non-communicable diseases like obesity or type 2 diabetes and those conditions are unquestionably risk factors for developing
4:55 pm
a more severe case of coke at 19 if you're infected so the take away i guess is that there's no evidence that eating the occasional burger raises your risk of contracting severe pope at 19 but putting on a lot of weight by eating too many burgers over too many years. yours does. and on the subject some good news for diners of fine food some time back we brought you the story of alexander and how his top restaurant in must say he was doing takeaway for the 1st time and had set up a food truck well here it is just a few meters from the restaurant where most of the food is prepared has 3 michelin stars to his name so made lunch he had his team with up is pretty pricey between 20 to 36 euros but demand has been strong enough for the shift to cole back all of his
