emotion. overwhelmed i'm grateful and relieved so i'm i feel grounded i can feel my feet on the concrete i'm super grateful that this is the verdict and that we can now move to the next place . george floyd slow death has now been seen by millions. while attempting to arrest him last may show been pinned to handcuff floyd to the ground kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes 29 seconds. i can't breathe for some of his final words. ford's killing on least 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 systemic racism day on our nation's soul but it's not enough we can't stop here in order to live a real change reform we kid and we must do more to reduce the likelihood that tragedy like this will never happen the courage in. chauvin handcuffed and led away will be sentenced 8 weeks from now he could be facing decades in prison order for more let's not bring in joe hutchinson he's a civil rights lawyer and a journalist based here in the borough lynn 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 adam toledo 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 fortunate that 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 see the same pattern. it was joe hutchinson and activist here in berlin now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today u.s. medical examiners say a police officer who 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 sick nick had been hit with a fire extinguisher or been killed by ingesting poison spray. syria has been stripped of its voting rights at the organization for the prohibition of chemical

weapons syria's forces were found to have repeatedly used poison gas during the civil war the country will be unable to vote or hold offices at the globe watch told damascus denies using chemical weapons during its of civil war. or ukraine's leader has challenged russian president vladimir putin to meet him in ukraine's war torn east to discuss ending the conflict there a lot of his lenski also urged ukraine's western backers to signal they are willing to support here in its standoff with russia has already. meanwhile vladimir putin has been delivering his annual state of the nation address he warned that moscow would respond in a swift and harsh way to any foreign provocations putin speech comes as tensions with the western creasing over russian military build up near the border with ukraine as also growing international concern about russian opposition leader alexei navalny is deteriorating health but speech focused mainly on internal issues

like fighting the pandemic. i'm joined by our correspondent emily sherman who is covering the story for us from moscow emily speech mainly focused on domestic issues there why. well guess what you have to remember the timing of the speech really these federal assembly speeches that putin holds every year take place much earlier in the year but this time the speech kept being moved and now it took place in april much closer to the duma elections the parliamentary elections which are scheduled for september so you can almost see the speeches kind of the start the beginning of the election campaign and accordingly putin was presenting himself and in a sense also his party the ruling united russia party ahead of those elections as being close to the people he presented himself today almost as a kind of father of the nation addressing his russians russians as my dear russians

and talking about benefits that enough additional benefits and infrastructure investment and that's of course important because putin's ratings according to surveys have been falling trust in him has been falling real wages here in russia have been falling for years and prices have been going up so putin definitely needs to win people's trust. so and surprisingly he did mention lizzie in the volley but what did he say with regard to foreign policy. well there had been huge expectations that he could make some big announcement when it comes to foreign policy especially against the backdrop of escalating tensions between russia and the u.s. and also between russia and ukraine we've seen in the past few weeks a huge troop build up on the russian ukrainian border with russian troops being moved there but instead put in very much presented russia as

a peace broker he mentioned particularly the syrian conflict where russia has had an active role and he said that actually russia wants good international relations but actually it's other countries that have been poking russia. continuously as he put it almost as a sport and he made it clear almost as a warning that russia has a red line and if you poke russia one too many times then there can be serious consequences a warning i think that was very much directed also at the u.s. and ukraine. of all these supporters are calling for protests now all over the country how big can we expect them to be. well not find these allies want these protests to be big of course they have almost been presenting them as a final battle especially in light of these deteriorating deteriorating health in

prison where he's on hunger strike it's hard to know how big the protests will actually be several hundreds of people have come out in cities in other time zones sort of in the far east of russia already when it comes to moscow what is clear is that there will be a big crackdown the protests are scheduled to take place right near the kremlin and right near the place where actually vladimir putin was holding his speech today and there has been a huge police presence in the center of the capital and also we've seen arrests of activists and opposition politicians across the country already today. in moscow for us thank you emily you're watching news still to come we'll find out why the future of the proposed super leak isn't looking so soon.

but 1st germany's parliament is expected to pass a new law that will force coronavirus lockdowns on areas with high infection rates recent polls show the majority of germans approved the step but the proposals triggered protests in berlin around 8000 people gathered in the competition to show their opposition to what they feel is an unjustified crackdown on the personal freedoms police broke up the demonstration after many participants ignored social distancing rules and didn't wear face masks infection rate swimming high across germany and the number of people in need of emergency care is increasing. i'm not joined by our chief political editor mr. why is this law such a big deal in germany. because certainly the opposition says that it is countering this 3rd wave of covert with 2 extreme measures and with too broad a brush particularly issue of curfews has sparked

a lot of protest the law that is still being voted on foresees that there would be curfews from 10 pm to 5 am with just a few exceptions also if the incidence rate hits $165.00 schools would have to close regionally and this is the 1st time that this is legally prescribed it marks a turn away from anger that merkel's consensus driven politics which so was in disarray with individual states coming away from the green ones and then simply doing something else there is a small minority a loud minority here in germany that believes that covert is exaggerated this partly taps into conspiracy theorists territory but not only and those are the people we saw out on the streets out in force with police dispersing those protests a lot of criticism of this law there and some critics say that focusing on

incidents numbers alone is too simplistic. the experts say is this law the ride's chill for keeping the virus in check in germany. well depends on who you are ask but certainly the medics who are responsible for intensive care units here in germany have for weeks i can say now been appealing to politicians to simply do something to stop contacts from going ahead because germany's intensive care beds are filling up and the health system which is strong on here in germany is close to being overstretched a lot of operations are being perspire and and i believe if we have those 1st reports of tree yards where decisions have to be made over life and death i think that we will have a very different debate here in germany but at this point in time experts say yes it might be wrong to only focus on that incidence rate at the same time numbers are surging across the board germany is in the midst of that 3rd wave and politics and policies are dragging behind the actual developments on the ground. political.

thank you very much michel. the son of child's deceased leader eavis davy has been officially named to succeed his father as head of state mohamad interest takes over as the rebel fighters blamed for killing his father close in on a of the capital value to depose the new leader government troops have been deployed to the streets of the capital of mena borders airports are closed until further notice and a curfew is in place it was there he was regarded as a western ally in the fight against extremism french president obama and of course says he'll attend his funeral ceremony. residents of chad reacted with disbelief 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. it would have been the long term leaders 6th term in office. it's sad news. that the presidential election took place calmly. and just a day after they announced his when they announced his death. whatever this news is very surprising. that based on a human level it is touching. but there are rumors that the information

disseminated by the transition council is favs. 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 a curfew it also disarmed the country's government and parliament and named davies 38 year old son as transitional leader he has the lead presidential guard that oversaw his father security. debbie was among the world's longest serving leaders getting the herders son took the classic path to power through the army in 1990 his rebel forces overthrew the then president in

a coup. during his 30 year rule he became a key ally of the west and supplied weaponry and soldiers to the anti jihadist campaign in the south whole region his unexpected death could spell the beginning of a new period of uncertainty in the deeply troubled region. sports news now the brand new european football super league that was announced only on sunday has already crumbles all 6 english clubs abandoned their plans to join the breakaway league last night at other clubs from spain and italy have followed today only real madrid and barcelona remain officially involved in the project. chelsea fans hearing that their club had backed out of the super league. that 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 rocky path and the only way you can get relegated from that i may say so coy his. absolutely no point just great innocent taken away would only for a screen we know gain from it all meanness take away from the 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. the law 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 fans who pours that liverpool

football club the disruption i cause for the past 48 hours goes without saying 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 joining me now for the latest on this story is jonathan crane from to dob useful stones and 2 days ago we were talking about the new super league now it's already history well how can it go so wrong and not incredible really how quickly it's all for an apology like the proverbial house of cards that once one pulls out they all fall down we can't really underestimate the impact the fans 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 tie so once they very much like if they were actually delighted one thing it does that seem more than anything any more it's not

just been found has been opposition from both sides from the politics of the play is of course sports officials at the u.k. government recess or at least the whatever it took to stop this from going ahead and 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. we made convinced of the project devalued it would have made of the creation of the best competition in the world but admittedly no i mean i don't think. it is still 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 days now and some people think maybe it was a negotiating tactic to extract more from you a for but you a for pos the reforms without any changes the reforms to the champions league of course a lot of people now will be saying look you a fee 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 griese. 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 it could have been relegated after a defeat to be the only goal of the game came when captain fabio and close power from just outside the box and she was 21st in 30 games so far this season and brings the club's more than 30 years spell in germany's top flight. to
