families are feeling, especially the floyd family, the court committee to the cause of the commission of corrections for a period of 270 months as to 70. also, the judge added that he was basing the sentence on the law and not public opinion, but the question everyone was asking is 22 years enough for show van's crime. for some the sentence represented accountability, but now they will focus on the other officers involved employees, murder. but his family is outraged. 22 and a half years is not enough. we will serve the life since we can't get george back. the murder of george floyd created anger and gave rise to one of the u. s. as largest ever civil rights movements. one man has now been convicted for that crime . in many other cases, remain unresolved. these activists believe that in the us, justice has not yet been served. some cronum lawyers

news, a 2 week lockdown ease in force in sidney to contain a highly contagious delta variant of the krona virus. new restrictions apply to more than 5000000 people in australia's biggest metro area. at least 80 cases have been reported most are linked to a limousine driver infected well taking airline crew to a quarantine hotel. the state premier says, walking down was essential. a few days ago, i said this is the scariest time that i felt since the pandemic started. and that's proven to be the case. we should price our bill more cases with bonding that all household context. unfortunately, getting the bars transmits ability is at least double what pre previous very, and have bank that we do need to price out bills for potentially larger number of cases in the following days. and that's why it's so important we take action. now, sidney journalists are, for maynard says, health authorities are especially worried about the delta variant because australia

remains largely unvaccinated bucks. elation rolla is still pretty slow. it has to be said. the latest figures are about 5 percent of the population about any one jet, and that's partly because of the shortage of supplies. the, the government didn't order enough to begin with. and then there's back seen hesitancy. a lot of the vaccinations at the moment are asked was in a good people worried about blood clots that associated with the answer. that bars was also that a lot of people deciding that they won't take the jet. now the way to surprise a fire arriving in greater quantity and have the jazz band. so there's a lot of basically hesitancy. and that's one reason why the vaccination roll up hasn't happened as quickly as it might hurt me more be on the cost of this to lockdown, is expected to be at least $2000000000.00. and if the outbreak continues, then the lockdown could be extended. it will be all that journalists,

roger maynard reporting there, from sidney, here in germany, police are investigating a possible is one is ter motor for a mass strapping. 3 women were killed in a department store and at least 5 other people, seriously wounded in boots burke in the southern state of bavaria. the german government says it was a horrific act directed at all humanity and all religion. the stabbing a tech happened in the very center of its book. the morning after a residence or a shop report, say, a 6 year old boy was among the wounded piano. the funny one success. our shop is just over there and we saw how the young people were running away, panicking, and then they stopped again to see what was going on. and how it was unclear for a long time. what was happening. then they all started screaming that somebody is stepping people and that isn't sudden either. we were almost right in the middle of it. we were walking down the stairs and then we heard the gunshot. my mom,

i told my husband this was a gunshot. and when we came out of the house, we saw the police arrested, the attacker authority say, the suspect is a 24 year old somali man with a history of mental illness. he was undergoing compulsory psychiatric treatment, but they said they were also examining a possible islamic motivation for his act, the various, the premier thank the pass us by who tried to stop the attack. he also said there were many open questions and particularly impressed by the courageous acts of many citizens who tried to confront the perpetrator. and also tried to keep him at bay. that was a particularly impressive commitment. now we need to find out the exact circumstances and the motive doesn't. the state and national law enforcement are already investigating. what was the attacker's state of mind? how could this happened with was supposed variance wondering the same thing. how

could this happen? germans elect a new parliament in september and one of the biggest questions as the election approaches is who will replace chancellor angle and back all the candidates from the main parties are about the debate, their approach to foreign and security policy, arm and lack of merkle is conservative, see to you and bear bulk of the greens and all of shorts of the social democrats are going head to head. this is you can follow the event live in english on our youtube channel, the w news beginning at 1530 u t. c. that's in about 15 minutes. well, the u. s. government has released an eagerly awaited report on unidentified flying objects. the federal government is unable to explain as many as 143 objects encountered by military aircraft in the last several decades. by speculation in social media, the report does not suggest aliens might be behind the sightings,

but it does say that identifying the objects or phenomena maybe beyond the existing means of the american military. as it w reported, aaron tilton has been following the story for us. aaron, it's good to see you here on the said, you know, you are flows are an identified aerial phenomena as the government refers to them seemed like fantastic were spectacular notions from a sy fi movie. so why the government taking them so seriously? well, because at the end of the day it's their job. i mean, if there's something zipping around the aerospace of a country, it's in the military's best interest to figure out what it is because it's a question security both of their military planes and also for civilian aircraft as well. and, you know, it's not just the u. s government, that's actually looking into these reports. we do know that both the chinese government and the russian government have similar programs and they're looking into similar parts of their space as well. and, you know, reports like this have

a long history of the united states. first, sort of looking into reports of us, all of your phones rather actively as far back as 1952, if i'm not mistaken with project bluebook. so in the end of the day, it's a question of security for them, at least from the military's perspective. why is this report generated such a interest online? well, it is kind of like a perfect storm to generate cliques. i mean, if you think about it, when we hear you are always, we're kind of condition to think that there's an extra terrestrial sitting inside them. when we have decades, the science fiction that tells us that you will focus equals aliens and unfortunately that's just not the case. but would also makes us, i think, a little bit more interesting is that this isn't just some like yoko country bumpkin reporting that they were abducted or something like that were about highly trained military pilots flying some of the most sophisticated sensor packages that have ever existed we're saying, look, we're seeing stuff up here that we have no explanation for, we don't know what it is. and just the fact that the observers is credible makes it really interesting and that's what's gotten. i think some of the speculation flying to the degree that we've seen it in recent weeks. so i'm going to ask you to speculate probably based more in science now,

but what could be behind these 143 signings. well, if you're hoping i'm going to say aliens unfortunately disappoint you, because this is always the case. if you think it's aliens, it's never going to be aliens up. unfortunately, there's just not har universe works. there is a lot of speculation about what this could be ranging from mistakes and the sensors mistakes in the radar systems that they have camera errors also basically just saying that the, some of the pilots might be a little bit confused about what they're seeing at the same time, the report itself said that there are most likely physical objects behind this, that these are just sensor mistakes. now if these are the physical things actually flying out there, that has people point to the fact that this could be some type of new drone technology that we haven't seen before. hypersonic drones that can fly many times faster than the speed of sound. now those are things that we know other governments are looking into, we do, we do know that russia, china, in the u. s. are developing those type of drones. so if this is some type of new drone technology we haven't seen that would definitely explain why the military is looking into it and taking it so seriously. and at the end of the day,

i would love to say this makes us one step closer to saying we're going to shake hands with you at some point. i think at the end of the day, the explanation is going to be more terrestrial. unfortunately, the w erin tilton, thanks for keeping us up today. thank you. the just for now and max for stopping is in a perfect position to deliver forth consecutive grand prix victory for his red bull team. the dutchman was fastest and qualifying for the syrian grand prix and austria, finishing ahead of the mercedes of world champion louis hamilton and vel. 3 boats for stopping currently leads the driver's championship. after 7 races. when surfers have been back in action in this long world cup competitors faced off in israel after an 18 month break, wind speeds of 30 not spend optimal conditions for the 1st time. men could choose between fast but difficult to control, foils, or more steady fins. frenchman nickel are for you off on the right here, one,

the men's competition use of a foil, sarah, a finger and melody, or look for one the women's titles. you are watching d. w. news coming up next, are documentary film on stonewall paving. the way to gay pride and mike local in berlin. thanks for watching the the green. do you feel worried about the i'm the host of the on the green fence remains to change. join me present the green transformations for me, for you or the plan? ah,

i was don't what happened? it was categorically different from anything that happened people 50 years later, people think of some wall as not just the beginning of a melting wave of gay politics. what is the beginning of gay politics at all? and often people think of it as the beginning of gay like this. we know it, i was there at sheridan square and a tell you that was all this activity. and before you knew it, people were throwing the lighter fluid in front of the wall. it was one i would imagine the sense of these, the, the french revolution to be light. why did that more explode that night? a lot of it had to do with who was going there. people of color dragged, cleaned,

trans people. they were the ones who weren't going to take it anymore. there was a sensation that nothing would ever be the same again. i blaze my brain, the ah, me, i use me when the little girl she was raised by a mother. and because they love to very much the price to you,

i was different from the time i was a small child and i didn't have words for it. i felt those different. i was a tomboy mine. my mother was rather upset by my lack of conformity to being a little girl. i know now this is too funny. i grew up in the 1900 fifties and not only a midwest which was backward enough but in grand rapids michigan, which was twice as backward as the rest of the midwest. the word gay was never use . nobody knew what that meant except happy through high school, i thought i was the only gay person in the world where the only person like me and

i, even though i was a gay person, i didn't know what that meant. my nobody was out. it was very, very dangerous to come out. you couldn't tell your parents. in fact, i kept hearing stories about people who sent their kids to insane asylums. basically. a tied a fil is threatening to pervert an entire generation of our american children. do you want your son enticed into the world of homosexuals or your daughter learn into lesbianism? do you want them to lose all chance of a normal, happy married life? ah cruise? i grew up in savannah, georgia. i was definitely part of that post for baby boom. generation i was born in

947. i grew up in a completely segregated world. as a southern ju, i belong, i always tell people i belong to for very different and sort of almost self exclusionary groups of people. i grew up southern jewish, gay, and poor. the worst year of my wife was when i was 15. i was rebelling against my mother. and i knew at that point that i was queer, and other kids in my high school, some of them had started a what i call a whispering campaign against me. like i couldn't go through the halls without kids saying things either to me or to themselves about me. and in towards the middle of the summer of that 15, i tried to kill myself. that's pop my stomach and they decided to keep me in the

hospital for several days just for observation. and when i got out, i went through this kind of a personal moment. and the epiphany moment was i realize that one. i was never going to allow anyone to drive me to suicide again, not my mother, not the kids at school. no one would drive me to suicide again. and number 2, i would be the person that i had to be no matter what i wasn't. so i got to michigan that i finally met a few other people and we had to be very careful because they had vice squad, people everywhere trying to identify us and arrest us for being gay. that's the kind of fear we live with all the time. trying to live a semi normal existence was very difficult. one day

i decided i'd take a walk and try to meet somebody. and from under the trees, all of a sudden a cup came out, grabbed me and asked me what i was doing was i going to queer parties, but i know other queer people. and i better give him all the names of the people i knew. and i said, no, i'm not going to tell the names of anybody. and he said, trust me, you will regret this. the next morning i was hauled into the dean's office and asked not to reregister it. so we don't need your kind of people at the university of michigan. oh god, deliver us american from evil. we must make our land the land of the free a safe home on the news. when i was in college, it was more like

a going in story coming out story. the very 1st week, i heard a story about 2 women who when the dorm room and they were, they were making out. and the guy columbia, across the street with binoculars looked in the dorm room and saw them, he reported them and they were expelled. and i was really shocked. i had no idea that this was something that was so terrible. and i just never spoke of. i didn't go out, was a lake. so hadn't war hair. i just keep growing yet. i didn't cut it for 4 years, but as a senior, it was really quite long. i just tried to look more and more feminine. so i could pass. so i was quite frightened by this, this episode i

so that was the time when i decided i heard from a number of people that new york was more open. that things could happen there. and i decided to moved to new york. i decided i am going to be this thing, i'll be an outlaw, the mentally ill, whatever you want to call me, but this is who i am. so unlike a lot of people, i tried to be out as much as i could, wherever i was. i rubbed in new york in august of 956, exactly one month before my 19th birthday and i arrived here with no money. no family, no education. i mean, i just, i had really zip out. i immediately discovered, but gay life was like in new york. and at that point i described, it was like, it's like joining a private club. greenwich village was very gay. on one hand,

it was also very tense on the other hand, because if you wanted to got to hurt us, the village is really a great place to do it. i had a friend who was beaten up very badly by some kids from out of town. i took him to the precinct and they laughed at him. this is what you get. and that was the atmosphere leading up to stonewall news. news. i started a new i believe in 1967. i became involved early on with this small small group called the student home,

a file league and my student home. a file league. i've been left in sort of prenatally in. ah, they've been sustained, gay, political organizing, starting with a group called the magazine society found in california in the early fifties. also the daughter of a lead us, the lesbian organization. those for the 2 main groups. there were other groups around the country. they provided a lot of social services to gay people who had been devastated by anti gay policing . and they did develop a, the infrastructure of a gay political movement. in the years before the gay liberation movement was born and the wake of someone, i was not involved in the home of fall game movement. because i had gone to some meetings of the daughters of belie this, which was

a homophobe organization for women. and i found them to be too conservative for my taste. i discovered that lesbians were in the village, so i went to the village. and in the beginning, i often would follow women, i thought were likely prospects. i called them i said to lesbian, so i would walk around discreetly. i asked them in the hopes that they would go into a lesbian bar. and i could find it has been bar because those to shy to walk up to you couldn't walk up to someone say hi, are you? it was hit think of elizabeth, but eventually somehow i found out about a couple of bars. it was the stone pony. there was cookies on west 14th street, and all these bars were owned by organized crime, by the, by

a group called the genovese crime family. and this is because it was illegal to serve drinks more or less to homosexuals because we were criminals. every bar that serv gay people had to pay off the local patrolman to make sure that he didn't report case. there was superiors and most far as read their own directly by the mom or had to pay off the mob as well. because only the mob was strong enough to provide protection higher up. and the other danger, of course, was the police came in to rate. you had to have 3 pieces of women's clothing. i would check myself in the mirror before going to make sure that i was wearing women's clothing. you had to count. because if the police came in, they would put you aside. if they thought you didn't have women's clothing on, they would have

a female officer. take you into the restroom and strip you. and if you did any touching of another man, you could be sent to prison for a long time the . 6 literally tens of thousands of men had been arrested in new york for homosexual solicitation between the 19271900 sixty's me. ah, there were several bars of that time and people might make around one of the other . people like to end up at stonewall. first of all, the drinks weren't watered down as much as some other places. and the people were generally a young, very vicious crowd. there was kind of like a little vestibule that you'd walk through where you'd be scrutinized by

a bouncer. and then beyond the bar, there was the, the dance area and had a, a raw, concrete floor that often had water on the floor. like when it rained, what would pour into the bar? it was really pretty dank. it was an awful place. i mean, i have no sentimentality towards the place. the good thing about it was that you could dance there. why did that more explode that night? a lot of it had to do with who was going there. the street, kids, people of color, gender queers, were accustomed to being harassed by the police, and accustomed to fighting back on the streets. these people were not going to take it. they had little to lose, a lot of them were not able to hide because of who they were. and they fought back very briefly.
