shorts research on d w. this is d w news live from berlin 2 nights the murder trial that the world is watching the jurors begin deliberations in the case of the killing of george floyd is foreman minneapolis police officer derek tovan hilti or not guilty of murder. germany's green party makes its 1st ever bid for chancellor and any other native bethought him as their candidate to take over from angela merkel. and russia moves

opposition leader elects in the valley to a prison hospital to his team once he has days to live the e.u. and the us one wants to go off the consequences of only dice and constitute. an him which is good to have you with us we'll be in the u.s. state of minnesota where jurors have begun deliberations in the trial of a former police officer charged with killing george floyd they are tossed now with deciding whether derek chauvinistic guilty of 2nd degree murder and people across the country are bracing for the verdict. guilty or not guilty that's the question 12 men and women will have to answer while the country waits for the defendant derek chauvin was fired from the minneapolis police department last year after george floyd died in his custody a video of the incident shows chauvin holding floyd face down with his knee for

more than 9 minutes it's sparked a nationwide protest against police brutality. i can't breathe in resting it's case the prosecution tried to persuade the jury that this was not about condemning all police but holding show been responsible for his actions in only you. have the power. to convict the defendant of these crimes. and in so doing. and in so doing declare that this use of force was unreasonable. it was excessive it was grossly disproportionate is not an excuse for the shocking abuse that you saw with your own eyes and you can believe your own eyes. as the defense made its closing arguments chauvin who had declined to testify remove the mask that had been hiding his face for most of the trial. officer show then had no

intent to purposefully use he did not purposefully use on lawful force it's it's these are officers doing their job in a highly stressful situation. george floyd's death rekindled a debate in the us about police tactics that rights activists say disproportionately impact black minority and poor communities as the trial came to a close activists gathered outside the courtroom. keep their plight going whatever way this road a go we won't stop till the last change protesters are awaiting the verdict in minneapolis and the surrounding area where over 3000 national guard have been sent in anticipation of unrest. well some are in the speeches the françois who is outside the courthouse in the optimist says the family know the lawyers made their closing arguments tell us more about what was the main takeaways

. my take yours are what will was to be expected and that was that the prosecution tried to connect that the dogs are connected dots they need to make a connection and try to strike the jury where they really want to make the point and that is that derek shoulder and did something he shouldn't have done and that he is responsible for the death of george floyd the prosecution played that video or parts of the video again which the whole world maybe has seen 9 minutes training 9 seconds on with their showing kneeling on the neck of george floyd so this was really important for the prosecution on the other hand of course the defense tried to poke holes into this they tried to portray their showing as a responsible. officer a reasonable police officer and reasonable and reach police officer and reasonable doubt this close together and that's made they tried to make this connection they

have to as you as we'll all just find one juror who disagrees with everybody else perhaps and then this will be a long haul for the jury to deliberate or could even be declared a mistrial so we'll have to wait how this will work out as you say not so hot things are going to pan out but realistically how do you how do you think the verdict will pan out in terms of you know like in seeing a conviction all. this is really hard to say this is somewhat of a guessing game right it is really a tough job for those jurors to to deliberate now and they can take their sweet time doing so they were advised by the judge to avoid personal buyers to avoid to be sympathetic full blown argument or the other but they really. have to try to leave all of this behind the door outside of their deliberations room they all sequestered they have no contact with anybody outside the. have access to all the

evidence to all what is said and was said in 3 weeks of trial to all the videos is a it's a hard job and of course there was the acknowledgement that there is always an implicit bias everybody from ours everybody of us carries of course so now they have to get over this and find a fair evidence oriented based on the evidence of. a conviction or a judgement guilty or not guilty for all 3 counts so tough call and sit on just very briefly how important is this trial in the united states and all other concerns that this kind of outcome might outrage and perhaps even more violence. yeah this trial is historic not just for minneapolis it's historic actually for him for the entire nation i think and i think it's fair to say why is that because we witness that the so-called blue wall and that is the police trying to put

a cancun of silence and protection around officers who are standing trial that didn't just crack it broke it broke the senior executive police leadership here in minneapolis came to the stand and testified against what jerry showing did with george floyd so. everybody looks at this trial and everybody has concerns that if there is a in quote us wrong verdict whatever that might be that violence will be the result of that the stefan simons life for us in minneapolis thank you very much. a 2nd look at other stories making headlines around the world the european union says more than 100000 russian troops have gathered near ukraine's borders policy chief joseph says there was a danger of confrontation but announced there were no additional sanctions for the time being. human rights watch says time has attention of

aside and her back did so making an early now bear book the 1st green chancellor candidate ever in her 1st speech she promised a renewal and german politics and a departure from the status quo. if this is a matter if i must make changes to create a fair country a country where daycare centers and schools are truly the best places to beam a country where caregivers genuinely have the time and above all the resources to care for people so could my country in which the state functions digitally and serves its citizens in a diverse and cosmopolitan country a value space and strong democracy via after. the 40 year old became politically active within the green party in 2008 focusing on foreign and security issues only 5 years later she entered the border start the german parliament at the age of 32 there she quickly and respect for her thorough

knowledge of detail she has a degree in international law and spent several years abroad in the us london and brussels she now lives in potsdam with her husband and their 2 young daughters best see if they carefully choreographed announcement came in sharp contrast to the bruising power struggle still going on within germany's conservative party both contenders there were quick to react to bear box candidacy. aniline up by congratulating an early in a bear book and i can promise her that the c.d.u. in germany is looking for want to a fair election campaign. volunteers and. it. clouds are in skin it will be about the 1st place conservatives the greens. fully it will be a fair good and argumentative but also ambitions election campaign. i would be very happy to be a part of it but we are not there yet you know me. well the conservatives are still

squabbling internally. already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angular machall successor. well d w political correspondent simon young has more on the tendons general election the chances of party the greens doing well in the election in september are pretty good as you mention they've had very good poll numbers in recent months consistently well above 20 percent which makes them germany's 2nd largest political force spell in the conservatives so it may well be that after that election in september the greens are in the driving seat they will have a choice perhaps between joining a conservative led coalition it's unlikely that the greens would end up as the as the largest party believing that is possible but they could either join with the conservatives or possibly themselves choose to lead

a center left coalition. and under those circumstances and alina bareboat just 40 years of age would be the next german chancellor and i think between now and then what she's going to have to do is to make sure that she's better known she's she's not really held any high political office up to now. she's pretty much made her career inside the green party of course she's been in the top of top of the greens for 3 years but i think she needs to sort of spread her appeal more widely to voters between now and then if she's really going to become become chancellor as she hopes to do. well russia's prison service says it has transferred jailed opposition leader alexina valley to a medical facility and all these doctors say he is on the brink of death 3 weeks into a hunger strike the u.s. and e.u.

significantly higher than current european torm tournament and the super league is also promising a massive front cash injection for clubs for instance infrastructure investment hefty $3500000000.00 euros so some big money involved let's cross now to our correspondent in new york court because this whole thing is being bankrolled by j.p. morgan a u.s. investment bank yes why are they behind the project. well i mean it's a big deal to begin with it might be the biggest sport financing deal of the year and then j.p. morgan they have quite some experience in the world of sports a way back they helped their glazer family an american family to buy mencia stay united later they also helped them to bring that company here on the floor of the new york stock exchange they also advised them other teams when they got to buy it

for especially in italy for example they also helped to raise funds for real madrid to refurbish the bin i.b.o. stadium or other soccer teams to actually sell bonds so they do have some experience we do not know all the financial details yet but it is pretty likely that j.p. morgan also will get a nice if he for this job the city has been criticized as being all about business by many many opponents so what's the business reaction been to the announcement well maybe to begin with sold the stock of the united for example here at the new york stock exchange should traded by about 7 percent we also have 2 of those other teams liverpool for example being owned tier in the united states by a fenway sports group who also own the boston red sox and then we also have

introduction of what it called disciplined democracy. the military held a long son suchi under house arrest for 15 years suchi became an icon of the struggle for freedom the nobel peace laureate began writing for democracy in myanmar in the 1990 s. . as the millet. harry came under more and more pressure from sanctions and economic boycotts they decided to release their arch enemy from house arrest 102018 sign of goodwill toward the west but all song suchi was barred from standing in the forthcoming elections and her national league for democracy boycotted. virtually unopposed the military gained almost all the seats. in any case the constitution guaranteed the armed forces 25 percent of seats and key ministries. the civil

service and police remain under the general's control. the commander in chief directly appointed the ministers for defense border affairs and the interior. some members of the military exchange their green uniforms or white civilian apparel. a former long serving general was made president. he was ordered to usher in a cautious transition to a more mobile and society. program ended a lot of a lot of the new muslims who i would never have dreamt that i would become president of the mobs a lot of commodities what after i became president and head of governmental my picks the cabinet. almost all of the ministers i chose came from the previous military junta troops who were in the car they were well educated and experienced from aaron no no you know of that we don't but none of us had any idea how we should engineer the transition to democracy who agrees we had lived with democracy for tamil than 50 years through everything i do is on the move reasoning they're

going corner on her own cause or you want her to shoot him. before being appointed the 1st civilian president of man maher after the dictatorship general tain sane had been involved in overseeing the creation of a new constitution. but how does he or she write about why john mitchell before 20. the country was under the control of a military dictatorship and the result was widespread poverty because the state was bankrupt and the winced imposed sanctions upon us. and there were many other problem and. you have an idea. but no one really ever had the intention of good hearing to democratic principles rather despite a few reforms they wanted to stick with military rulers it will become your my whole new model where. the reforms have the sole aim of improving relations with

the west and underground so how you could call on. the top priority was the lifting of sanctions. but it would have been difficult for the new government to win over the international community without involving that then opposition leader aung san suu kyi with just a few seats to fill in parliament it was decided that aung sang suu kyi should be allowed to stand in the 2012 by elections it was more a symbolic gesture the risk was small. only 80 percent of the seats were being contested. but it gave the opposition are put in the door. pro-democracy leader aung san suu kyi has taken her place in me in mass parliaments ushering in a new political year around 50 years of military dictatorship and that nobel peace laureate turned out the newly elected members of her party pledged to safeguard the

constitution it's quite a change for a woman who's been incarcerated most of the last 20 years one of her closest associates was fellow party member when tame so when i arrived at the door a lot of media were there. i told them hey rebels are coming rebels are coming. the 7. a 9 year old was detained after the february military coup and remains in custody he was a political prisoner from 1989 to 2010 actually we are rebels that we had struggled along so many years nearly 3 decades to get their status as insurgents changed overnight and i am regarded os as above ground insurgency idea not underground. on sense you key into a party only hold 8 percent of seats in parliament so at 1st glance they don't seem to have much in the fridge the military had hardly left them any room to maneuver

but on song suchi and her supporters were determined to make the most of it they knew that the architects of this disciplined democracy wouldn't play fair our objective was to continue our struggle for this based on our political principles and to get a truly democratic state. have for tremendous conservatism in the free citizen in any way although the decision of the monthly's to be such into the for you would like to either reduce their presence or not have them in the parliament we would like in all parliament to be in line with the french values it's not because we want to move and but this. due to her iron will and her charisma the military i don't song suchi with suspicion. back of confidence . as you have to point point one of the greatest weakness that's a lack of trust and confidence the nobody trusts anybody. this this is the

result of years and years of dictatorship authoritarian rule you all have have to be careful you don't know who is informing on whom and this lack of trust has seeped into our very bones in a sense the system helped to bring about reconciliation. the new civilian represented. this might have been full of good intentions but the generals still have the upper hand. the military had created a constitution that cemented its own standing leaving the civilian government with little real power. the constitution guaranteed the military 25 percent of seats and veto rights meaning the constitution couldn't be changed without its approval. the new constitution also had an article $59.00 that was made specifically to keep on

song suchi out of the running it barred anyone becoming president or vice president if their spouse or children were not citizens of man mark. it was designed to curb suki's political ambitions she had studied in the u.k. and the us like her late husband her 2 sons are british citizens plenty more she got. to go get the cheese our g.g. to protect the constitution adequately but according to the me and constitution the most important task of the military is to ensure that the country's fundamental laws are respected. that the jug. be up to. the military generals were confident that the much revered and beloved song suchi would never be able to become a manned mars president. i

think one has to accept that there are some elements of the minute military who would generally think that they are the only ones capable of competing to come together now this is not surprising because they feel they were in power for more than 50 and they have to because they're still out and no sense to live off because of the constitution. the mistress energy curve that established. known term minute true true and i took place in 1962 so if you caught it from then it's over 15 after 15 years at the helm and it's not very surprising that they could do some thinking and they were the only ones keep earthquake in the country together. widely known as mother sue this advocate for a peaceful transition to democracy has long been regarded almost as a deity and man. but her popularity was only of limited advantage.

important changes to the constitution had to be approved by more than 75 percent of parliamentarians. with the military occupying one quarter of the seats song suit she's hands were tied. one powerful man was still pulling the strings general thomas way ruled man maher with an iron fist until 2011 he had ordered the disbandment of the military junta and the shift towards disciplined democracy his aim the lifting of international sanctions before leaving office in march 20th 11 he divided his power between president tain say and men on the plank whose destiny was written in the stars. line. i mean on hi i was

appointed commander in chief by tom shrank on the advice of astrologers. he got the job because the stars with favorable not due to any military prowess is. this guys. at the top. monks and astrologers are deemed the nation's guardians and have long played any role in myanmar. you know. general tonge way was most fearful of the woman who had defied him ever since the 1990 s. . even when she was under house arrest he had consulted for astrologists to ward off any potential danger that she might pose. the entire country was waiting for the 2nd general election to be announced. tonge sway and his backers

realized they could face a crushing defeat but article 59 guaranteed that their opponent couldn't become president despite her popularity. the elections were allowed to go ahead on a suitably auspicious state. they chose the election date november the 8th 2051 of the top astrologists advised them so if the elections are on sweet 8th of november 28th 15 you will win an unsigned victory. more than 30000000 people were eligible to vote the electorate had big expectations to killer of sheep opposition leader aung song suchi and her national league for democracy. she had been on the election trail for weeks ahead of the polls tens of thousands turned out to see her. many hoped for change on multiple

levels more freedom economic growth less corruption and less poverty. going to the polls according to when tain predicted that the opposition would win handsomely. assigned seats the people of myanmar have waited 25 years and the end of the the national league for democracy. as one. can see this place is a. the military's white clad appointees in parliament excepted the decision and made way for the n l d and on song suchi. just that from now on she negotiated directly with the commander in chief on the flag. the man who would seize back our

in the february coup. the victory brought new faces and new colors in the parliament aung sang suu cheese the national league for democracy party now help the majority. but despite this decisive electoral result the n l d s founder and leader could not become president and a quarter of parliamentary seats and key ministries remained reserved for the men in uniform. the icon for democracy seemed prepared to come to an arrangement with the military for political expediency. the routes that bind on song suchi and the military proceeded that. they are embedded in her family history. in the 1940 s.

a general fought against british colonial rule and was instrumental in engineering independence for as man marr was formally call he is still regarded as a national hero today his name is general aung san the father of aung san suu kyi. to create unity in the country and to help ward off external attacks he regarded it as vital to strengthen the tonics between the various ethnic and political groups. that was no easy task as the country is not only geographically diverse with by a 1000 meter high peaks plateaus swamps and tropical rainforests it also has more than 130 different ethnic groups with varying religious affiliations. including bomb on a chain. chain. moment shot kareen careening barca naysay and. general aung sun favored a socialist state having rejected capitalism after the experiences with colonial

rule bung son conducted the negotiations for burma's independence from britain it was at an early especially chosen by that means astrologers that ran to love them as full assumption of independence and face of the union jack that means national flag was hoisted with all due sediment it was a moment however that aung san did not live to see he was murdered by political opponents some months earlier posters for the national league of democracy still bear the image of all song today the national heroes legacy the burma independence army the forerunner of today's military band his daughter long sought suit she. has. she always mentioned that she was broad top in the hands of the and ceo's around her father. yet she had affection for the army. but they still did not accept the rule of law suit she just wasn't

a grudge. last you know this is since independence when her father was assassinated. it was a known fact that he was the architect of our independence. the founder of the ami. kong song suchi initially saw herself as having no choice but to reach an accommodation with the generals. she wanted reform and democracy for a man mark to remove the military from power and the long term and to take over the presidency clearly there was a long hard road ahead. last the constitution from becoming the president but today she threw down the good to be a mom of the. constitution says nothing. is

there true she said it would help present an impossible. general don wouldn't it be not mistaken despite resistance from the military and that host of state councilor was created with a majority of votes down to. the bone to the military stood up in a sign of protest but the law was passed. that. according to the late tony he was an expert in constitutional literature. so he leaf through all the articles and he found one loop that the president can create a position for anybody of any status. it is

a but the most important and urgent matter would be a change in the constitution with your labor. so in her newly created position of state council her son suchi placed herself above the president the defacto head of government. but even this role did not concentrate all the power in cheese heads over the years she had become familiar with most of the country's political rules but the military is also a law unto itself resorting to violence to solve some of its problems. i. was once in the chinese state run news stammered we reported that one of the government's legal advisors doing sense
