>> this ial jazeera. ♪ hello, you are watching the newshour live from london. a police officer is killed after a car is rammed into a security barricade on capitol hill. the suspect has also died after being shot by police. >> if your knee is on a percent's neck -- a person's

neck, that can kill him. >> officers take the stand in the trial of derek chauvin. survivors climb through the wreckage of the real reel to train in eastern taiwan. dozens of passengers have been confirmed dead. major league baseball's all-star game will be moved from atlanta in response to voting restrictions in georgia. it is being reported a major test event for the tokyo olympics has been canceled because of covid-19 safety concerns. welcome to the newshour. we begin in the u.s., where the capitol was once again thrown into lockdown on friday after a man rammed his car into a barricade, killing the least one

person. the car drove into two police officers who were near the barricade. one of them has died and the other is still being treated in the hospital. officers on the scene shot at the suspect when he left the car. he has since died of his injuries. >> the suspect exited the vehicle with a knife in hand. our officers engaged that suspect. he did not respond to verbal commands. the suspect did start lunging toward u.s. capitol police officers, at which time u.s. capitol police officers fired upon the suspect. at this time, the suspect has been pronounced deceased. two u.s. capitol police officers were transported to two different hospitals. it is with a very, very heavy heart that i announce one of our

officers has succumbed to his injuries. maryam: mike is at the capitol building and joins us now. we have been waiting for me action from president joe biden, who says he is heartbroken to have learned of this attack in the death of that one police officer. he says he has been receiving ongoing briefings from the homeland security advisor. i suppose attention now turns to security measures around the capitol and the investigation itself. mike: indeed. the investigation well underway. there are still investigators on the actual scene of the event, 100 meters up the road behind me. you heard the reaction from president biden. he will be briefed by his homeland secretary, expressing

his condolences for the death of that officer. the names of the dead have been released. the dead capitol police officer was william evans. the driver of the car is a 25-year-old from indiana, say the investigators. the motive, no clarity whatsoever. this is a point of ongoing investigation. capitol police making very clear they believe this is a one-off incident. he acted as a lone wolf, as they put it. no sign of any terrorist connection is another statement from the capitol police. it is perhaps ironic that it is only in the last week that the added security had been taken down from around the capitol, much of it that had been put there on january 6. there had been much higher fencing around the capitol

complex. this has been taken down in the past week, although a lot of the national -- of the initial security things had been left, like that black fence you see behind me. the security has been lessened, well, the physical security. as you can see with the speed of reaction to today's events, still on high alert around the capitol. maryam: mike hanna with the latest in washington. brian gerber has been following the story for us, codirector for the center for emergency management at arizona state university, joins me live now from phoenix. investigators will tell us more about what they are focusing on now. the priority presumably is to look at motivations for this attack and whether there might be any link to the breach of the

capital less than three months ago january 6. brian: i think that is a critical question to be answered, and hopefully we will know more as soon as possible. there are a couple key alternatives. this could be a case of a person with troubled mental health issues, or the individual identified could have been radicalized in some way. he could be associated with conspiracy theory, conspiracy theorists, which has reached an acute crisis in the u.s. at the moment, or connected to some other domestic violent extremist group. i would note that lone wolf attacks or single individual attacks are consistent with what

the u.s. to permit of homeland security in its --ee u.s department of homeland security in its most recent threat assessment, those types of attacks we have seen in other locations such as london -- those lone wolf attacks are consistent with the methods and tactics of violent extremist groups. we can't know at this point, but if this individual was connected to some sort of extremist organization, this kind of uncoordinated individual attack would be consistent with a risk identified by the u.s. department of homeland security. maryam: how difficult is it to identify something like that? radicalization and mental health issues not necessarily

exclusive. the way this is happening is very fluid, decentralized. even the attack on jaary 6, there are a number of groups involved. they are still trying to work out who was involved and how it started. brian: correct. those are not separate possibilities. they can be related. in fact, someone who might be troubled is potentially more susceptible to those kinds of messages and radicalization. there are different categories of individuals that become radicalized. in terms of your question, how difficult it is to anticipate that, law enforcement generally does a pretty effective job at trying to anticipate these things. of course, we have to balance free speech rights and people have the liberty to have

unpopular or unsound views of the world. maryam: forgive me -- what i meant was, how difficult is it to uncover evidence of radicalization, given the decentralized nature of those conversations? they are difficult to track, they are happening online,and even online it is difficult to know if someone -- whether they are just sounding off or something is more serious happening. brian: it is a real challenge. as you said, people make public comments and they are not particularly serious, and some are. for example, the january 6 insurrection attack on the capitol, much of that was done in open view. that is one of the criticisms of how the federal government prepared for that incident.

at the same time, a number of these organizations engage in secure communications, at least some individuals with better training tried to engage in secure communications. you are always balancing free speech rights versus the ability of law enforcement to track individuals and political speech. maryam: thank you very much, brian gerber for joining us, codirector for the center for emergency management and homeland security at arizona state university. brian: thanks. maryam: you are watching the newshour live from london. ahead, disturbing footage that shows -- in ethiopia's tigre re gion. a fire breaking out at a refugee camp. india's cricket legend is

hospitalized a week after contracting coronavirus. >> i can't breathe! ♪ maryam: a police officer took the witness stand on the fifth day of the trial of derek chauvin. he told the court chauvin's decision to kneel on george floyd's neck was an act of deadly force. chauvin is charged with killing floyd after arresting him. his death sparked a massive backlash across the globe. the officer says chauvin's use of force was totally unnecessary. >> in all the years you have been working for the minneapolis police department, been trained to kneel on the neck of someone handcuffed -is position? if that were done, would that be

considered force? >> absolutely. >> what level of force might that be? >> that would be the top tier, deadly force. >> why? >> because of the fact of, if your knee is on a person's neck, that can kill them. maryam: gabriel is following the trial in minneapolis. that was richard zimmerman speaking there. the longest serving officer in the minneapolis police department saying he was never trained to kneel on someone's neck. how significant was this testimony today? gabriel: incredibly significant. he is a 40 year veteran of the minneapolis police department. he is a homicide detective. beyond that, he is by all accounts one of the mosre well respected -- the more

well-respected police officers in the minneapolis police department, in the wider minneapolis community as well. his testimony was devastating for the defense. he basically said that the actions taken by derek chauvin were totally unnecessary and potentially acts that are not in the books where they train officers to do that. in his testimony, he said the only time you should keep a suspect face down in the prone position is until that suspect has been secured and their hands have been handcuffed behind them. in the case of george floyd, clearly he was on the ground, very secured, and did have handcuffs the entire nine minutes and 29 seconds that chauvin's knee was in floyd's

neck. it is devastating testimony that capped one very dramatic, long first week of this trial. maryam: thank you. mary frances berry is a professor of history at the university of pennsylvania. she is the former chair of the u.s. commission on civil rights. she joins me by skype from new orleans. experts have spoken about the legal hurdles which stand in the way of cases like this one. what is your feeling after richard zimmerman's testimony today? does it make a conviction more likely? mary: i will answer you, but i first need to tell you there is a connection between what happened at the capitol and what is going on in the chauvin trial and what is going on in the u.s. generally in terms of people who

want police reform and are concerned about police being too overbearing. all those things are connected. and the assailant there at the capitol who is now dead. we can't question him. he may have been part of the people who have been arguing for weeks they want the barricades taken down at the capitol. fortunately, when they took them down, look what happened. that means we are more likely to get them put back up and less likely to get police reform around the country. the connection to the chauvin case was the outcome of that case will tell us about whether the trend toward police reform continues or is stifled altogether or whatever happens. the defense today had a fairly good day, because despite

zimmerman's testimony, the lawyer for the defendant made several good points of arguing that, oh, you are an old folki and you don't knowe -- old fogie and you don't know the circumstances. what he was trying to do was to set the stage for the defense argument, which will come later, that in fact young people who are working on the staff who will be called to testify, both people from minneapolis and other police departments, will testify that the police officer on the ground is the one that is best able to tell whether or not they should take certain action, and all these higher ups don't really know. that is what the defense was trying to do. all the defense needs is to have one person bite to that kind of

argument so they can come up with a hung jury or mistrial. maryam: it sounds like from what you are saying that we have to be cautious with how much we read into this case. it's rare for a police officer to face criminal charges for misconduct in the u.s. even if there were a conviction, it is not going to stop some officers from abusing their power. mary: and also we have lots of incidences of police killing unarmed people, but very few incidences of them being charged and brought into court. most of the time when they are, they are acquitted. most of the time the argument for acquittal is what the defense attorney was making today, that the men on the ground know what is going on and have all these factors taken

into account. that is to divert our attention from the fact that floyd was on the ground, wasn't doing anything, wasn't resisting, and that the crowd the defense keeps arguing about was there. if you look at the video and listen to the witnesses, it was no more than 12, maybe 15 people. they were not doing anything actively to attack anyone. we have to keep our eyes on what chauvin was doing and the situation that floyd was in and not be distracted by all these other arguments. we don't know whether anybody on the jury will actually fall for it. maryam: thank you for joining us. mary: thank you for having me. maryam: at least 54 people have died in taiwan's worst ra

disasteril -- rail disaster. an unmanned truck rolled onto a track as a train was approaching. nearly 500 people were on board and many survivors had to climb out of the wreckage. the accident happened at the start of a festival when people return to their ancestral villages to clean the graves of their relatives. taiwan has a vast train network, transporting more than 200 million passengers every year. the dramatic mountain scenery in east makes it a popular tourist draw. that means the eastern railway line is heavily used. the train derailed just north of the city while traveling from taipei. adrian brown now reports. adrian: rescue teams scrambled to reach passengers trapped in the front carriages that folded into each other after coming off the rails as the train entered a

tunnel. this woman yells, carriage four, carriage four, has everyone come out? 350 passengers paid for seats, with more than 100 others reportedly standing. >> i could feel the emergency brake was put on and the train shook and stopped. >> we are fine, but some of the passengers in our compartment were injured. adrian: inside the narrow tunnel, emergency workers struggled to reach the injured. >> there was no other way for us to get out, it's so we had to climb to the top of the train. i was thrown to the floor. adrian: a spokesman for the rail network says the accident was caused by one of its construction trucks sliding from a work site above the track. the fire department later

released pictures of what is believed to be the wreckage of the truck decide the derailed train. -- beside the derailed train. this is taiwan's worst train accident. it is believed many of the dead and injured were heading home to mark the holiday when chinese people tend family graves. maryam: the european union is expecting to host a meeting with all parties involved in the 2015 iran nuclear deal next week in vienna. the conference will include the united states, which withdrew from the deal under donald trump's presidency. washington says it is open to direct talks with iran, but the iranian foreign minister tweeted such a meeting is "unnecessary." more from tehran. correspondent: the news was welcomed by iran's nuclear chief. he says the fight in terms of who should take the first step the nuclear deal has passed.

he is optimistic the deal could be revived. the foreign minister said the aim is to get sanctions lifted and then iran would return to its commitments. he also said there would not be a face-to-face meeting between iran and the united states. one the chief negotiators for iran said there will not be any indirect talks between the united states and iran. if the europeans want to speak to the united states, that is a matter for them. he is saying iran will not acknowledge any form of direct or indirect talks with the united states, but those will be taking place because the europeans are talking to the united states. nothing has affected the mystic politics within the country other than those sanctions. the economy has suffered, but

iran's position still remains the same. they want all the sanctions lifted that were imposed by former president trump and then iran will start returning to its commitments in terms of the 2015 nuclear deal. maryam: disturbing footage showing what could be a mass killing in ethiopia has been posted online. the video shows men who appear to be either using -- to be ethiopian soldiers, following unverified footage we advise our viewers is graphic content emerged on social media. men wearing military fatigues can be heard speaking off-camera. they are then seen dragging a group of deamen off a cliff, with internet severely limited in that region. it is difficult to verify these

accounts. the prime minister took office in 2018. he united ethnic base political parties. but the tigray's political front refused to join. the tplf defiantly held its own local vote in september, which was strongly condemned by the central government. the situation deteriorated rapidly after tplf forces attacked a military base in november. the government responded with a furious offensive and now controls much of tigray, but the fighting has not ended. earlier we spoke to a journalist. he said if the videos are authentic, they contradict the government's version of events. >> the prime minister of ethiopia, abiy ahmed, promised there will be a full

investigation done, but there has been lots of allegations made against all actors involved in the region. this will take much of the country's resources if the prime minister's promise is to be fulfilled. these kinds of allegations we have been hearing from day one. we are just beginning to see video evidence of the allegations made by the people of tigray from the end of last year. that shocks me the most is we have been hearing from day one that people are dying. there is an issue of famine coming up. there has been limited resources. we are hearing high numbers of people dying in the region. we just not have been able to see their faces until now. these videos are showing us there have been people dying.

that is why it is having such a strong impact, not just in ethiopia, but in many countries that have interest in helping ethiopia advanced forward. maryam: we are going to bangladesh. at least three refugees have been killed in a fire. it comes less than two weeks after a large fire destroyed thousands of tens and killed at least 15 people at the camp. it is home to over half a million rohingya refugees. staying in bangladesh, protesters rallied against a violent police crackdown on demonstrations. at least 11 people were killed during the visit of india prime minister narendra modi.

attack. the most experienced officer in the minneapolis police department has testified that the level of force used on george floyd was totally unnecessary. richard zimmerman said floyd was no longer a serious threat when he was handcuffed. the trial continues next week. at least 54 people have died in taiwan's worst rail disaster. an unmanned truck rolled onto the track just as a train was approaching the tunnel. nearly 500 people were on board. the netherlands is suspending the use of the astrazeneca covid-19 vaccine for people under the age of 60 following the death of a woman who received her jab. around 10,000 scheduled appointments have been canceled. the woman was one of five people who suffered blood clots after vaccination. it comes a day after germany halted the use of the vaccine for people under the age of 60.

elsewhere, india reported more than 80,000 new covid cases. this is the highest daily number in more than six months. nearly every state is being hit hard by the new surge, and the government is speeding up vaccinations. some of india's poorest people are not yet eligible for the jabs, despite putting themselves at risk every day. our correspondent reports from the capital of new delhi. correspondent: from a distance, these mounds could be mistaken for small hills, but they are mountains of waste. and rummaging through them are thousands of waste pickers. they make a meager living collecting recyclable materials and selling them to scrap dealers. but while sanitation workers employed by the government or private companies are among to be the first eligible for covid-19 vaccines, waste pickers aren't. >> the new delhi municipal

council workers are getting vaccinated. police are getting vaccinated. are we not human? we pick up trash from your homes. if one of us falls sick, we will probably infect 10 others. correspondent: one person collects rubbish from 300 homes, but can't afford the three dollars for the covid vaccine. she lives with her family in a hut of scrapped cardboard. >> we can't earn like we used to before. our incomes have been hit. we are finding it so difficult to get by each day. how can we afford vaccines? correspondent: with the help of an environmental group, this person started an online petition asking the government to vaccinate waste workers like her. she calls it the country's silent environmentalists. >> they are highly organized, highly skilled.

the company says doses could be delayed. india has paused exports so it can vaccinate its own people. that hasal worried african countries which want to inoculate up to 35% of their population by the end of the year. a top health official says that target might not happen now. it is not just poorer countries. the eu asked for doses from the astrazeneca supplier. some argue blaming india is unfair. the country has exported 64 million doses, higher than the 62 million administered at home, and india needs to speed up vaccinations because cases have increased sixfold in the past two months. a new variant might be driving up infection. joining us is the associate

director for innovation at the duke global health institute. i want to pick up on the rate of infection. it seemed the infections were receding, and since february they are rising faster than ever before. could this year wind up being worse than last year for india? guest: that is right, for many reasons for which we had a good idea about, and some we didn't. after the first wave peaked in september, rates were going down, and they are picking up concerning like now. the coming months are a dangerous time for india and other parts of the world. maryam: that increased the urgency for india to vaccinate its own population. that program was sluggish to start with, but they are facing pressure to essentially export

vaccine doses to the covax program. it is other countries outside of that scheme as well. guest: it is. india has become the workhorse of manufacturing for vaccines. the covax facility is expecting to reach 2 billion doses through the covax mechanism this year, and more than one billion doses would come from the serum institute in india, from both astrazeneca and novavax. tryi to balance that with a population of 1.3 billion puts india in a difficult position to balance those needs. maryam: how disastrous could this be for africa? we are talking about some of the

world's poorest countries. countries in africa want to vaccinate 35% of their population by the end of the year. that is not going to happen if astrazeneca doses produced by the serum institute are taken over by the indian government. guest: yes, we need to think about other contingencies. some of the good news is we are starting to see increases in manufacturing capacity of the mrna platform vaccines. with pfizer and biontech saying they can get to 2.5 billion doses this year, hopefully that is a significant uptick through covax. trying to understand how we can ramp up manufacturing capacity in other low and middle income countries will be important in

the new few months. maryam: what are your thoughts on the indian government's involvement in vaccine shipments? guest: i think we are seeing this similarly to what is happening in other countries. we saw export restrictions in the eu. we saw the use of the defense production act in the u.s. giving presidents to domestic needs over export of private goods. the indian government is following the lead of high income countries in influencing what happens in terms of potential exports from private sector companies. we are starting to see more of this example of vaccine nationalism, which doesn't help anybody. maryam: thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
