kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes 29 seconds. i can't breathe were some of his final words. floyd's killing on lease one of the biggest waves of protests in u.s. history against systemic racism and police brutality. president joe biden hailed the decision as an important step toward police reform it was a murder in full light of day and to rip the blinders off for the whole world to see. the systemic racism vice president just referred to there system integration this is danny on our nation's soul but it's not enough we can't stop here. in order to litter real change reform we kid and we must do more to reduce the likelihood a tragedy like this will never happen occur again. show then handcuffed and led

away will be sentenced 8 weeks from now he could be facing decades in prison. were doing well to be a correspondent stefan's he wants is in minneapolis earlier we asked him how the voting is going down with the american people it's going down really well i don't think there is any at least. in the african-american or in the black community anywhere in the united states in all the metropolitan areas l.a. new york chicago washington d.c. miami atlanta minneapolis of course anybody or not many people who would say this was not a great day a day they were longing for a day which brought them justice and. joy because of the verdicts issued by the jury with it turned out spread over 2 days 4 hours of the 1st 6 hours in the last in the 2nd day and there was the verdict then off and on all counts guilty for their issue and for the murder of george flights right here right behind

me there's where this is half and that's why this place is called george floyd square and claimed by this community by the way this was originally intersection and this will never be ennobling to search again. reporting back for more let's not bring in joe hutchinson he's a civil rights lawyer and a journalist based here in the berlin we saw celebrations across the u.s. what's your take on this verdict. unfortunately you know these celebrations can't last very long i just read before coming on that in the moments before the verdict was announced yesterday in minneapolis other police officers in columbus ohio were shooting and killing a 15 year old girl named bryant so i think you know when we look at that that was a 15 year old girl killed just yesterday in columbus ohio a few weeks ago a 13 year old child killed in chicago named adams lido and you know just miles away

from where they were trying derek sjodin don to write a 20 year old was killed so as much as my heart goes out to the floyd family for achieving this small bit of justice i think we need to look at the larger issue and ask why are the police killing thousands of civilians a year. brings me to my 2nd question in terms of police behavior tools black americans i think you're on the pessimistic in terms of real change in the wake of this trial yes and unfortunately you know this is looking at this happens over and over again eric garner with strangled to death as well there was video of that and the officer killed and then you plan to lay out never tried the officer who killed him you're right 12 year old child got a basically a promotion nothing happened to him he moved to another area so even when we see these outrageous acts the officers it's not just that they remain innocent and are

allowed to go free it's that they you know they are transferred to other precincts and allowed to use the same pattern. to what impact do you think will this case have beyond u.s. borders in countries like germany for example a live. yes i think beyond u.s. borders what we need to look at is how racist police violence and acted and you know the local context so here in germany we've had i think 190 over 100 people killed in police custody the most famous of them practice or each although killed over 15 years ago burned to death is murders have never been held accountable so we need to look at in germany is when and under what circumstances are people dying in police custody here why are people really held accountable and you know just last month here in germany and the men hawke there was a 19 year old named clothes they thought i'm collapsed also with killed in police custody so as much as that you know as helpful as that is to look at your choice

case and the justice brought against that officer we need to pursue more here and you know it's really start filming these police encounters as much as we can joe hutchinson thank you. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. medical examiners say a police officer confronted rioters during the storming of the capital in january suffered a stroke and died from natural causes they ruled out that 42 year old brian sickening had been hit with a fire extinguisher or been killed by ingesting poison spray. at least 4 people have been injured in a suicide bombing that targeted a convoy of security forces in afghanistan's capital kabul no one has yet claimed responsibility the blast came hours before turkey announced the delay of a conference aimed at ending decades of war in afghanistan. activists in

myanmar have launched protests calling for the release of detained political prisoners they are also calling on neighboring countries to respond to the violence in their country since february's military coupe it comes as the leader of myanmar's military junta said he would attend a regional summit to discuss the crisis. authorities in india scrambling to supply enough medical oxygen as the latest wave of corona virus infections stretches hospitals to the breaking point the country logged nearly 300000 new cases of the virus in the last 24 hours. reports. deserted roads shuttered shops. looks just like it did in 2020 at the beginning of india's hotshot. except now a yearly the daily diesel is much worse. the national baptist has been put under

a 6 day lockdown and silence means again. but that is largest over the hospital is a different story even while it is stretched to capacity patients continue to be just as. many delegates of those admitted here. camp out right outside the hospital they prefer to be close to their loved ones instead of traveling around during of course you these women have spent the last few days together they met on saturday when book their husbands were admitted with severe symptoms. pretty dubious set out at 9 am looking for help after being turned away from 3 hospitals she finally found a bed for her husband here 18 hours later you have a he's not that old he's only 33 and even someone like him developed such severe symptoms so suddenly that we thought he stopped breathing so someone with

preexisting conditions will be much worse off. han was told her husband could not get the dialysis he needed because he had to call that sometimes. she struggled to find a hospital which could treat him for boot as he ran out of breath with him in opposite i'm not worried about myself i just want my husband to be well like he was i don't want anything more i have nobody other than him and my 2 children. both men are doing better now getting admission to a hospital is all the deal with tree during this surge in cases in the area is part of the reporting over 200000 care for every day several states are reporting a shortage in hospital beds oxygen and even medicine it's probably the worst hit 50 in the country. the delhi government is now converting stadiums in schools like this one into covert facilities to combat the shortage of beds each of the $125.00

beds in this government school will be supplied with oxygen $1500.00 more beds are planned doctors here tell us that these are not foot intensive care the hope is that if patients who are stable can be shifted off but observation and monitoring critical care beds in hospitals can be feed up the struggling still is trying very hard to maintain the pace with the infection i mean is the speed of the spirit and babies don't. plan is to control the speed of it so that the infrastructure of the health care facility. and the lord is clearly immense this 1500 bed hospital is full yet this man suffering from vets lessness needs help he's also to wait in delhi's fight to help people like him the next few days off lockdown. will be critical. initiatives more important than here in

germany coronavirus cases remain high and in sense of care units are filling up so chancellor angela merkel's government is now asking parliament to pass a new law to force coronavirus lock downs on areas with high infection rates if the law is passed it will mean nationwide measures can be taken rather than each region deciding independently measures was kick in when the 7 day incidence rate exceeds $100.00 cases per 100000 people curfews would be imposed between 10 pm and 5 am and all non-essential shops would have to close the proposed law has been sharply criticized position pontiffs. was branded abused chief political editor. she's reporting from the start for us why is this law such a big deal in germany. well particularly the issue of curfew is improving very controversial and it's for the 1st time

a nationwide emergency brake as it is called with this many states having quite like the fact that they were rounds of talks where agreements were found and then everybody pretty much did what they wanted the forward parties also crying how they see this as a kind of effort of big stage although none of the other parties are questioning the process but it would be the 1st time that as soon as that incidence rate of $100.00 is reached there would be automatic and exactly the same measures implemented in the areas that are affected. there are protests going on in berlin today right now what is it about the law that the protesters also i worry about. well from actually pretty much the beginning of this crisis there was a movement a very loud minority that was against measures being taken there is also a certain element of conspiracy theory when it comes to vaccinations and many many

people are against vaccinations from that group but upwards of 2 thirds of germans are actually currently in favor of a stricter lock down to break this way that is hitting. with increasing force the incidence rate now is at $160.00 and the big fear is and that's also what's driven the actions of the government that the health system in germany could be overwhelmed already seeing operations. and hospitals calling for help because they feel that they are being pushed towards the breaking point at the same time there's still this debate in parliament going on although there was never any doubt that it would go through. the list critics of this law do say that focusing on the incidence numbers alone is too simplistic is this law seen by experts as being the right tool for keeping the virus. many experts are actually

criticizing that that incidence rate alone doesn't tell you all but they would rather have this all than nothing and there's a feeling amongst scientists but also top medics here and many that their cry for help simply hasn't been taken seriously enough and that politics and policy is not moving as fast as the virus that is the overarching concern despite being continuing criticism that the lack of digitalisation and intelligent solutions to make public life possible simply wasn't exhausted by angela merkel's government that's a criticism she will continue facing but this law is set to go through and it could be implemented as soon as it's actually gone through because the incidence rate is so high. chief political editor and i thank you very much michelle. watching the news to come. we'll find out why the future of the proposed soccer league is looking so soon. but 1st western leaders have been paying

tribute to the late president of chad idriss deby according to the country's army he died while fighting rebels on tuesday davy was considered an ally in the fight against extremism questions are now being asked about the country's future troops have been deployed to the streets of the capital and. borders and airports are closed until further notice and a curfew is in place. his son has been named as interim head of state and he has promised elections in about 18 months the rebels have rejected the transition vowing to march on the capital. residents of chad reacted with this belief to the televised announcement of president idriss debby's death. martial of chad idriss deby it know as he did every time when the republic's institutions were seriously threatened not to go to heroic lead in

a combat operation against terrorists who had come from libya. he was injured in the engagement and died after being brought back to. the news came just hours after he was declared the winner of the country's presidential election on april 11th. that would have been the long term leaders 6th term in office then. it's sad news. that the presidential election took place calmly. and just a day after they announced his when they announced his death. all over this news is very surprising. about the kind of human level it is touching the water but there are rumors that the information disseminated by the transition

council is false no. it wasn't. it is not known why debbee would have visited the frontline or participated in the clashes the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear and some observers question the military's narrative. following the announcement the military council deployed the army around the capital and imposed. if you could also just solve the country's government and parliament and name debbie's 38 year old son as transitional leader he has the lead presidential guard that oversaw his father's security. debbie was among the world's longest serving leaders getting the herder's son took the classic path to power through the army in 1990 his rebel forces overthrew the then president in a coupe. during his 30 year rule he became

a key ally of the west and supplied weaponry and soldiers to the anti jihadist campaign in this a whole region his unexpected death could spell the beginning of a new period of uncertainty in a deeply troubled region. and sports news the brand new european football super league that was announced on sunday has crumbled all 6 english clubs have abandoned the plans to a joint breakaway leak only a handful of spanish and italian clubs remain involved though the event as chairman has admitted the project can no longer proceed. chelsea fans hearing that their club had backed out of the super league. the. but the stunning backlash to the super league had worked to reverse an attempted radical shift in the european power structure to take in the competition

at a school that al-q. finally where you can get relegated from the late sixty's so coy his mentality no point just craziness in it taken away was only for the screen we know get up from it all means take away everything we love inside the stadium players for brighton chelsea's opponents on tuesday night showed what they thought of chelsea's earlier super league ambitions. u.k. prime minister boris johnson celebrated the withdrawals posting on twitter that the decision to pull out is absolutely the right one yet it is hoped that the other founding members of the super league would follow. and they did egged on by fans old and young tied to the tradition of the beautiful game all 6 of the powerful english clubs had pulled out of the super league 48 hours after it had been announced i want to apologize to all the fancy porters of liverpool football

club for the disruption i caused the past 48 hours goes without saying but it should be said. the project put forward was never going to stand without the support of the fans super league clubs learning a lesson that it's never a good look to have fans coaches and players rooting against club bosses and owners . well joining me now for the latest on this story is jonathan grant from the ws both sons and 2 days ago we sat here we're talking about the the new super league now it's already history well how could it go so wrong and that incredible really how quickly it's all for an apology like the proverbial house of cards that once one falls out they will fall down we can't really underestimate the impact the founds have been so chelsea supporters in that piece they've really i think been the catalyst for this chelsea fans celebrating as if they want to tight so once they very much like it they were actually delighted when standardized that team was

in anything and the more it's not just been the found has been oppositions more sides from politics at the play is of course sports officials at the u.k. government recess or any city whatever it took to stop this from going ahead the other clubs meeting in spain now off following the english clubs out the door of the events as chairman i'm sure i knew they had this to say a bit idea. i remain convinced of the beauty of the project devalued it would have developed the pyramid of the creation of the best competition in the world but admittedly no i mean i don't think. that project is still up and running. where did it go wrong why was the opposition to this so strong well i mean a lot of people saw this is just a power grab motivated by money it would have created a closed shop competition for just a handful of clubs because there would be no relegation for the founding members i

think a lot of people look at it and think how did they mess up so badly how did they not canvass opinion from the players from the fans i guess with all the money in their eyes perhaps they were blind it's now or some people think maybe it was a negotiating tactic to extract more from you a for but you wait for pos the reforms without any changes or reforms to the champions league of course a lot of people now will be saying look you a for which has been considered free so far welcoming the cubs back needs to come down hard on them it needs to punish them for what many as i said see as their face greece. stay with us because with another piece of news quite upsetting news from the german bundesliga football because the in evitable has been confirmed show could have been relegated after a defeat to be the only goal of the game came when the little caption fabienne close power home from just outside the box that defeat was shock has 21st in 30 games so far this season that brings the club's more than 30 years spell in
