they join us from skype from oakland. carla, you had a big scoop, you talk to governor arnold schwarzenegger, what did he say about the recall? >> he captured lightning in a bottle back in 2003 without recall. he was an unusual figure, the world's biggest action here at the time. so he talked about yes, an unusual circumstance. but there are some similarities, he said, with the movement today and the one in 2003. voter dissatisfaction, anger, and something that has created the momentum and in that case it was the blackout, the electricity crisis of 2003. today he said newsom's french laundry incident, which ramped up voter anger about hypocrisy. he said people, voters, they are angry about sacramento being unconcerned with their own worries, unresponsive! and so, had some advice for newsom , saying he may have been slow coming out of the gate but get out there. he prays newsom for being out there, for doing vaccinations, for sort of getting california's business and schools back on track. he says he has to keep doing that

the school of regulation and global governance at the australian national university he joins us on skype from sydney ben welcome to al-jazeera mr kerry's got hinterland here hasn't he he's a big hits a former secretary of state so if anyone's going to get progress in china might it be him. that's right he comes with the imprimatur of already of the by ministration i also it's quite a lobster is figure who had senior positions in the obama administration and has a lot of stature in beijing so he will get seen your audience you'll be welcomed there also be a lot of positive an optics around this visit because i'm like a whole host of really contentious issues in the china u.s. relationship climate change is one of those few bright spots where there is an alignment of interests and goals between washington and beijing so this is a significant visit it's the 1st seen. by ministration officials visit beijing which is significant all in of itself after some very fractious meetings olay but i think we need to tamp down our optimism about this on a couple of fronts the 1st is that this meeting i

we heard -- via skype.d derrick shoving's -- the team of derek chauvin focusing on the underlying health conditions of george floyd. tell us how they try to take aim at the prosecution position that it was a lack of oxygen that caused the death of george floyd? >> the defense did two things. one, they attempted and did point out that the medical examiner's conclusion was different than the other expert witnesses, that the government produced. so, the other said it was is fixed yet, due to lack of -- asphyxia, due to lack of oxygen. the corner said it was the heart failing to stop as a function of stress, from the officers. so, he pointed out the difference. second, the defense did a pretty good job, allowing, or inviting the jury to allow for the possibility that there may have been other factors at play. so, they did a good job there. unfortunately, even though the two opinions were different, the medical examiner versus the other experts, both said that the death was caused by the police. so the defense w

is a lecturer in politics and international studies at university of cambridge she joins me now by skype from london so 1st of all how rare or unprecedented is it to have news like this of top officials or members of the royal family being detained in this way in jordan very rare and i think what we're seeing is actually quite a few moving parts in the stories that we're not quite sure how they all fit together but there are several. different things happening simultaneously so the crown prince saying the son. was supposed to visit the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem last wednesday and was barred from doing so due to security reasons and so that also was highly unusual and likewise there have been indicators that there's a possibility that those arrested and warned to in amman have been acting june 2 relations that may be shifting quite rapidly between jordan and israel and it is true that saudi arabia has for some time hoped to replace. jordan as the. one that administers the was the. mosque complex so that may have something to do with that in any case the trip that netanyahu had planned t

she joins us now live via skype from kiel good to have you with us sharon just why is the rain forest so important to the world's climate and how fast is it disappearing. we're very concerned about the way to our station that's happening and the rain forest the rain forest act as an important. c.n.n. tell you enter atmosphere and actions and the countries where these are we saw our impact all of us because c o 2 levels our planetary. planetary effect affected by these local areas and deforestation is happening at a rate is is meaning what we ate last year we saw. it was really forest that we saw the rate disappearance was the highest that we've seen for over a decade so and it's not just the d. fire station it's also the degradation of the remaining forest that we're concerned about the loads that 10 and the 30 that the trees and the remaining forest is also an impact and that will switch a forest from being a carbon sink to carp and sauce so eventually these forests won't because part of the c o 2 emissions well has been so much is there important role that they play for all of us ri

now on skype from miami good to speak how significant a moment is this. it is a significant moment because what we're probably going to see is someone other than castro formally head of the of the regime in cuba will be the 1st time in 62 years however this is due to the fact that they got a lot of bad press when they did that succession back in 2006 from fidel to raul castro describing this as a monarchy so if castro were to turn over power formally to his son now they handle castro who by the way is an intelligence officer who oversaw the negotiation between the united states and cuba for normalizing relations during the obama administration and also led the organization of the meeting between raul and lattimer putin that same year having him formally assume power would open up the regime to try just that it was a monarchy similar to what's happened also in north korea with the different generations of leadership passing down from father to son so i believe that roe cash wants to avoid that so we'll have someone. like a disc an owl or someone else to as

commission on civil rights she joins me now by skype from new orleans madame thank you so much for joining us here 3 on out you followed the trial 3 weeks of trial you've heard that the fence in the prosecution what is your reaction to the fact that the jury reached a verdict and what was it 11 hours of deliberation or so. right the history of these things is a trials is that if the jury stays out a lesser amount of time and this is considered a small amount and then the verdict is likely to be guilty we don't know if that's true i mean not guilty if they stay out longer limb their quad will it could linger about it or whatever and but i don't know whether history tells us anything in this case everyone who has spoken about this and the president the united states vice president and to people on down and people like me who watch this. show and will be found guilty because the evidence seems to be overwhelming but as we've pointed out all you really need is one person on the juries to disagree so the idea is then if there is not a guilty verdict in this case who knows what will happen if th

and sorry he's a senior a journalist some political commentator joining us from new delhi by skype it's great to have you with us on the news hour india is often perceived as the world's largest democracy but this is a see very democratic people's right to express themselves on social media why is the government doing this. well thought understands primarily from the fact that this government does not take very kindly to criticism its very sensitive to criticism and also from the desire to try and control the narrative as days have gone by this government has come in increasingly. to censor them increasingly from citizens and also i marry do i may say from from the courts whether so therefore in trying to remove and trying to stifle critical war since it can succeed in doing so on on twitter and facebook but it can do precious little as far as the courts are concerned and the and some of the high courts have been kidding in their criticism. i'm sure there. is a story at the end if you just focus on the social media aspect because that's how many people get their news and indeed given th

ronald sullivan is a professor of law at the harvard law school and he joins us now by skype from newtonssachusetts. as always, thank you for being with us. what did you think of those lengthy final statements from both the prosecution and the defense? doesn't it help to be more succinct when you are summing things up for the jury? >> i think both wore too long. i agree with you and your reporter that they went on and on. the ideal closing would have been at about an hour. that would've been plenty of time to sum up everything. the reason they went so long, i will share a secret with you, hardest thing for a trial lawyer to do is to sit down. it is a tough scale for lawyers because they want to make sure that they have everything that they wanted to see in front of the jury. the risk of that though is that the jury becomes either bored or annoyed. but again, this critique is along the margins. both sides tried a very solid case. anchor: both lawyers they had the eyes of the country but also of the worlds. the case has become symbolic. it all now hinges on the jury. i think the defense at

eric feigele doing a who's an epidemiologist at the federation of american scientists joins us by skype from washington d.c. dr biden pleasure to have administered 100000000 vaccine doses within 100 days in office he doubled that perhaps it was one of the easier pledges that he succeeded in achieving but nevertheless he did well you know he went from 100 to then increasing it to 200 gold around 60 and on day 100 he's basically 220. and that's often see an enormous case u.s. has vaccinated 43 percent i was so are you wishing we could at least one of those 29 percent. vaccinated so there is good news on that front and i think. production will also from the ramp up. nevertheless we've seen infection rates rising in the united states and what about the efforts to counter that. well rates are rising in michigan but they've actually fallen recently and u.s. cases are actually on the decline and gone up that's good i think for most part most countries that. percent vaccinated are not seeing the surges that many other countries are seeing so that is really helping but now we have to turn into a

professor of law and director of the criminal justice institute at the harvard law school and joins us by skype from newton massachusetts thanks for joining us here on al-jazeera a little earlier we were hearing from the floyd family and the his lawyers the families lawyers and kristi ewart who is a family lawyer said the whole world should not have to rally to get justice for one man how much of an impact to do you think the global attention that that video in this case got how much of an impact do you think that has had on the events of today trial and then a guilty verdict. well i'm sure it had a significant impact in the sense that this was nothing that could be swept under the rug the eyes of the world so to speak were indeed watching it insured that the state of minnesota as you know removed the trial from the local prosecutor in the attorney general's office prosecuted the case they brought in the absolute best prosecutorial team that they had and they took the case extraordinarily seriously they realized that we have a dark and bleak history in the united states of white officers and wh

she's a professor of american studies and political science at mcallister college and joins us by skype from minneapolis it's great to have you with us on the news hour it was quite interesting that the testimony that we've we've heard so far in this 1st day from the defense it kind of begs the question if you like who is on trial here that really is the question of the day and i think that the strategy that defense is using to put george floyd on trial when actually it is mr show is on trial is a strategy that is not going to serve the wow this trial is being tried in the opinion of public court and i really don't think that looking at george floyd's behavior in 2019 will be persuasive i mean you you mentioned that the court of public opinion and this trial is being live streams anyone can go and say you tube and find a stream of this trial do you think this is going to put a n.c. and certainly the tactics that the defense are using do you think this the fact that public opinion is saw is so taken by this trial the so much writing on it will justice ever be served here because this ope

job undone far as iran lecturer at the into disciplinary center has leah he joins us now live via skype from good to have you with us so what is israel up to here is it actively lobbying the u.s. over the iran nuclear deal. what legend i think 1st of all of this is a lesson learned israel has not realized the netanyahu ministration that he made a mistake during the obama administration off daring ollie's differences with the obama in the public media to the city are one as far as giving a speech in a congress against the iranian cliff deal that only did not work it also hurt sort of relationship with the united states so on the one hand we see israel is now. talking to the americans but it's doing so in intensity but privately 1st and foremost. secondly yes there are concerns of when you are not party to talks but the effect you have is that case you need it with israel. it's always more difficult to get what you want it's even more difficult i mean it's already difficult enough for the parties involved in talks directly to get what they want here for israel which is not party to the ta
