And criminal justice. All 3 of the Police Officers involved in floyds arrest in minneapolis make their 1st Court Appearance charged with aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder in. The u. S. Navy veteran whos been held by iran for almost 2 years he was released as part of a deal that sold Washington Free an american iranian scientist. Scott hi there in bangkok thailand where the ever important Tourism Industry has been heavily impacted by corbett 19 but now the government is trying to position the country as one of the safest destinations in the world wants it finally opens back up. So the 1st Memorial Service honoring an africanamerican man who died in Police Custody has been held in minneapolis poignant memories were shared of george floyd whose murder spot nationwide protest event was also used as a rallying cry to overhaul the Justice System mourners including celebrities musicians and politicians while they stood in silence for 8 minutes 46 seconds that is the length of time that floyd is said to have been pinned under Police Officers need. Its crazy all these people came to see my brother and thats amazing to me that he touched so many people hearts you know that he be in touch in our hearts you know. You come to 3rd war where were from people across right now neshamah state of them you know im just stand strong as i can because i need to get it out i need to get it out everybody wont justice we want justice for george hes going to get it hes going to get it. George freuds story has been the story of black folks because ever since 401 years ago. The reason we could never be who we wanted and dream debian is you kept your knee on our thanks what happened to from oh it happens every day in this country and actually occasion in Health Services and in every area of American Life its time for us to stand up in charges made and say good show me off our next. Well thousands are still munching in new york and a separate Memorial Service was held in the city bill de blasio has tried to deflect criticism of the way police have treated protested in recent days meanwhile the 3 minneapolis Police Officers accused of aiding and abetting floyds murder had the 1st Court Appearance ok lets well be hearing shortly from she have returned just outside the white house there and natasha going to name is 1st supporter cole shes in minneapolis is been listening in to the Memorial Service that took place and it was a pretty powerful service where we got to know well george floyd the minority didnt we. Surely perhaps though one of the most profound moments of the memorial was when the reverend al sharpton an iconic civil rights leader asked people to stand and observe silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds that is the amount of time that former Minneapolis Police officer Derrick Chauvin had his knee on George Floyds neck and the morial service was piped through on loudspeakers that you could hear here on the campus of North Central university and a nearby park and for almost 9 minutes activity in that park seemed to freeze as people stood and remained silent but a picture did emerge a portrait of george floyd a brother a father a grandfather a friend and an uncle 2 of his brothers spoke and recalled a brother who was beloved who they said was a quote alpha male an athlete an athletic man who was beloved by many one who was a rabid Le Bron James fan. But against all of this the speakers continue to underscore the deep rooted racism in the United States that had contributed in their minds to his death one of the speaker said that george floyd died of a pandemic of racism and discrimination the floyd family attorney also said that for too long there have been 2 Justice Systems in the United States one for white people and one for black but he felt that the chance for creating in equal Justice System that perhaps this was the moment where it was possible to attain that reverend al sharpton said that for theres a difference between calling for peace and calling for quiet he says some people want us to be quiet and to. Shut up and suffer in silence but we wont do that he said that over the last week and a half he has watched as anguish and anger has prompted people to pour into the streets across the United States and the world he said he was heartened by the fact that whites outnumber blacks and in his mind he says it shows that this is indeed a different time and a different season quoting the bible one moment of uplift to mention nic here on the North CentralUniversity Campus the president announced a george floyd Memorial Scholarship more than 50000. 00 has already been donated and the University President here president here called on other universities to establish their own george floyd Memorial Scholarships to help uplift young africanamerican leaders of the future yeah thats a fitting poignant move isnt that no the wheels of justice the initial wheels just started turning and then we have these 3 of the Police Officers involved in the incident and theyve appeared in cool. Yes and its worth noting that the floyd family says that for sure the fact that all 4 officers have now been charged that the cho than the primary officer has had his charges upgraded that this brought quote a lot of peace during a painful time for the family chosen is facing 2nd degree murder charges theyve been upgraded that could carry a maximum sentence of up to up to 40 years the other officers have been charged as you mentioned earlier with aiding and abetting in the family had wanted that they had wanted all the officers involved in floyds death on memorial day evening to be charged before they laid floyd to rest and it is clear that this is also a moment of reckoning for the Minneapolis Police department a time to look at reform cho of and had 17 prior Police Misconduct complaints one of the other officers had 6 previous Police Misconduct complaints and an analysis by the New York Times showed that the Minneapolis Police department use force against black people 7 times more often than it did with whites in the last 5 years and 60 percent of the time when dealing with a black suspect Police Officers kicked punched tape and used base or a picture minneapolis. Thanks very much indeed for that update. Now lets spin over to new york kristen salumi was at the memorial which was held back and says it will be another busy night for protest this and Law Enforcement in the city. This is a demonstration on the move after a Memorial Service in brooklyn attended by thousands of demonstrators and the brother of George Floyd Terence for a man who started this movement. When he died at the hands of police in minneapolis took to the stage amid cheers from people calling for him saying that he was not alone. After many speakers the demonstrators moved over the Manhattan Bridge over the Brooklyn Bridge into manhattan. And theyre now gathering on the streets here you can see Police Officers are whining writing there. Looks like theyre turning everybody around right now so the demonstration which has come all the way from brooklyn is now being rerouted it looks like back towards foley square. Now demonstrations been peaceful for the last few days but. These have been. Cracking down earlier in the evening to get demonstrators out the streets after the shooting occurred earlier in the week. Theres a curfew coming into fact about dark but many demonstrators are vowing to continue the fight to continue to make their presence known peacefully until after dark the looting issue has been better since the curfew has been in place but theres been more criticism of the mayor. Himself has. Been trying to back the protesters back calls for reforms but also answer cause for law and order in the city as many businesses have been destroyed it looks like itll be another busy night for Law Enforcement and demonstrators here in her. Well in washington d. C. Protesters that have ignored. To a few for yet another night many gathered outside the white house. More barriers have been put up to keep demonstrators a far distance off you can just see the white house there and distance and National Guard troops and police have been patrolling the streets for several days to keep the peace lets spend a bit to see every times hes standing by right outside the white house and she had what we were talking yesterday very different scenes of what you have behind you know there is a very big presence of security and police and so forth. Right i should sort of there is no curfew tonight in washington d. C. So just free to remain and in fact not only that where they did they remain they remained in what was a torrential downpour a storm of biblical proportions sheets of rain gusting wind and yet several 100 protesters remain tear rooted determined to show that that wasnt going to but that wasnt going to affect their wish to be counted at this moment you know right started the National Guard that we saw this time yesterday no sign of that we know that theyre here we know that 4500 National Guard were deployed around the city but as a real effort now to keep them away from the line of sight and of course that will that means is when theres no provocative presence of heavily armed uniforms uniformed personnel on the streets and many of these are protests about heavily armed uniformed personnel everything tends to go off rather peacefully and thats what were seeing tonight another peaceful night of protest there were people here just about 10 minutes ago a bunch of them are just walked in that direction we have this fence which we now understand will be taken down according to the authorities in the middle of next week but barely any Real Security presence but we do know that its here not just the 4500 National Guard but also the active duty troops that we often hear about this become a point of controversy within the administration stationed around. The city who couldnt be here within the. Ride would have been next at bennetts were often told some sort of compromise appears to be reached where the 6100 who are currently stationed about 700 will be returning home so that to leave about 900 in the d. C. D. C. Area to get the bible is the church of course where donald trump came on monday and brandished a bible. Preceding his visit that was that infamous clearing of Peaceful Protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas as a quibbling about whether its technically tear gas a lot it was chemical irritants and smoke that made people tear up. So not are you be the judge of that. The a. C. L. U. Lives about an hour suing the president and the attorney general trampling on what they say is the constitutional rights. Freely protesting under the 1st amendment rights when Security Forces attacked so thats a new development. In the meantime actually interesting late this evening the New York Times has just released a new article which address this lipping with evangelical christian voices in the United States which perhaps is more give us more of understanding of why he felt it was are necessary to underline that he is the founder of the faith Interesting Times are as you have thanks very much and a. J. Hammer times reporting there from washington d. C. Well House Speaker nancy pelosi he she is calling on donald trump to explain and justify his deploying to troops in washington d. C. And shes laid out her concerns in a letter to the president. Peaceful protesters are confronted with the deployment of a variety of various Security Officers with multiple joint from multiple jurisdictions including and this is important and identified federal Law Enforcement further and letter i say to make matters worse some officers have refused to provide information had been deployed without identifying insignia badges or nameplates the practice of officers operating with full anonymity undermines accountability and not and a night off ignite government distrust and suspicion and its counter to the principle of procedural justice and legitimacy during this pursuit charisse moment in our history all right lets hear now from tim wise whos the racism educator and author and he says the protests will have a Lasting Impact on the american political landscape. What we are seeing is the kind of uprising around the country millions of people now who have been involved in these protests millions of unique individuals some of course going to multiple protests we havent seen anything like this numerically possibly ever in the country and certainly not in a half century and in this particular instance it is a considerably more multiracial and Diverse Group of protesters going into the streets and the reason thats going to matter is because we know that this country because it is founded in White Supremacy frankly and sadly is more likely to listen to the voices of those white folks who are in the street or white folks like myself for that matter in interviews like this if i say and if they say that we have a White Supremacy problem and a Police Problem then the reality is more white folks and up listening to that it shouldnt be that way but it is and i think whats happening is that because all of this misconduct on the part of officers whether were talking about george floyd or Briana Taylor in lieu of all or were talking about the vigilante killing of a model robbery in georgia all of that takes place against the backdrop of a Public Health emergency a pandemic that is disproportionately also killing black folks here in the United States and it and an administration that is soon as the data was released showing that black and brown folks were dying disproportionately suddenly said oh we really need to open back up and get things moving again in other words it was an open broadcast of indifference to the fact that doing that was going to disproportionately kill black folks you could not have screamed it more loudly than the administration did in that moment and it was a bullhorn that not only black folks heard but that white folks heard and other non black folks of color heard obviously we have a Public Health emergency and thats going to still im sure not be gone by november so thats going to be there the fact that 40000000 americans up to this point have already filed for unemployment thats going to be there but essentially all of these issues are really part of one piece. And that piece is that we have a society that still 400 years on since the colonial period and a 200 plus years obviously as a country still has not brought itself to the point where it can say unabashedly that black lives matter and not just that they matter but that they matter equal to the lives of white folks and finally after hitting the Snooze Button on this alarm clock over and over and over again and going back to sleep over and again it is apparent that finally some folks are getting up and getting out of bed and getting involved with this struggle that black folks have been involved in for a long time and i think i expect that were going to see that energy carry over into november for sure. Well a judge in the u. S. State of georgia has ruled the 3 men charged with the murder of a black man will go on trial.

But the most ahead on news hour including the latest on the war in libya as the u. N. Record not his government tells a major victory. The ocean cold lead is to help fight infectious diseases. A u. S. Navy veteran has arrived in switzerland to be released by iran Michael White being detained since 2018 President Donald Trump thanks tyrone for his release comes a day off to an iranian scientists askari arrived back in tehran after being freed from a prison in the United States i would do want to extend my personal thanks to President Trump for his efforts both diplomatically and otherwise in making America Great again and for whats going to happen here in the future. To go shooting with the iranians is never a linear process theres a lot of stops and starts you have to be very patient this is a regime that has been taking americans hostage for 41 years and our diplomacy has been successful and were going to keep working at it. Well its the 2nd to present a swap deal in 6 months in december and iran released the exact hwang a Chinese American Princeton University scholar help for 3 years on widely disputed espionage charges in exchange for the release of a detained iranian scientist 0 journalist husham says despite the prisoner releases he doesnt think relations between iran and the u. S. Will improve anytime soon. Whats happening today might be a context for the future we are just a few months away from a new American Administration or maybe President Trump would be they would have another 4 years the iranians also are preparing for their next year president ial elections and in general if we go back in history its always whenever there are attempts for a deal or a consensus or a negotiation zot whatever you know talks this these happened in the last year in the last year. At the talks started between the administration and the iranian be a u. S. Administration and the u. N. At the iranian government and they got on with the new government in iraq the deal was struck in vienna in 2015 so this might be a kind of laying the foundation for the new situation just in case there are there is a way for a deal it will for a consensus because at the end both countries reached to the brink as we said after the assassination of awesome sulaimani iranians also retaliated by hitting the american bases yet everything stopped that and both seen that they do not want to go to war in libya as u. N. Recognized government says it has regained full control of the capital tripoli ending the long siege by forces loyal to the world really for have to bow out after his military command says the battle isnt over and that its been moving fighters outside the city in preparation for un brokered ceasefire talks.

It was a stronghold for forces loyal to the warlords have to launch of a military campaign to seize the capital more than a year ago then a month or so your mind the same and them some of the early years after us forces are fighting to reinstate military rule in libya but we are fighting to defend our homes our nation. The battle in and around this abandoned airport in southern tripoli has been tough but Government Troops have now given our have to the fighters they say this is not only a military achievement but a political gain as well. By taking control of the airport we have now secured the whole area and facilitated our advancement further beyond the ministry to borders of tripoli our primary was to liberate cities occupied by have to fight his and or you christian the reason to advancement is attributed mainly to Turkish Military support of Government Troops and the withdrawal of russian mysterys who fought alongside have to his men for the past year have those forces took control of this airport they took shelter in its concrete buildings and used it as a base to target many areas inside tripoli the governments troops say they have had to move carefully to avoid landmines are planted by half that is retreating fighters the mines pose a threat not only for the troops but also for displeased civilians who are desperate to return home.

All right thailand is continuing to gradually ease more of its coronavirus restrictions Cultural Centers will now be open to the public and lets join scott hardly whos live for us in bangkok right now and scott tell us more about this easing of restrictions in thailand. It was a phrase theyre called phase 3 and this got kind of came into effect earlier in the week and as you mentioned its Cultural Centers zoos museums some parks have been have reopened and this is kind of a slow and steady process weve seen here in thailand over the last id say maybe 56 weeks where they have a phase come into effect every 2 weeks and they evaluate after that how things work and thats one thing that thailand is quite proud of and theyve been very fortunate in that the infection rate has really dipped low they were able to quickly flatten their curve and theyve been able to maintain that so far so again we saw another phase around of the easing of those those restrictions you know we saw beaches some beaches opened a lot of thais fled to them that because thats you know right now the country still sealed off from International Arrivals so kind of the slow and steady process salons and spas have opened up so right now things are very close to getting back into kind of i would say the new normal business here in the capital bangkok but one thing that really needs to be said no matter where you go any place where there are a lot of people you still have to do a q. R. Code check in or you have to register your phone number so they can track you down in case there are any cases as called normally speaking every year millions of tourists flood the results across thailand is a fantastic destination isnt that the tourism economy taking a terrible terrible hit. It has taken a very very terrible hits nic and one thing thats interesting is you know that the Tourism Industry is so its been called the engine that drives the economy here in the kingdom so obviously its very very important to yes to the economy overall economy the country but also for millions of employees and workers in this country that is you know obviously the the direct Tourism Companies impacted by it but also the ancillary you have got a lot of massage parlors youve got a lot of restaurants youve got street cafe so those were also impacted by it but with that low infection i was talking about the government here has a plan in place which trying to convert their loans their low. Reaction if you will here to cope with 1000 to a marketing message to woo those tourists back. Thailands Natural Beauty and luxury resorts draw visitors from all over the world and from all walks of life at least it did before covert 19 its hotels and beaches now sit empty the global shutdown has exposed the countrys huge economic reliance on the travel industry one that will never be the same after the pandemic and wooing back Foreign Tourists is not going to be easy but the government has a plan. Its growing the marketing message beyond amazing thailand its now focused on driving home the idea that the country is one of the safest and cleanest places to visit and launched a health and Safety Certification Program for travel companies or tourists want to know now yes how beautiful the destination is but also is it safe to go there i think safety will be the main concern and if we can give them confidence and have a good stand it it wont be hot when back to. The Certification Program covers a wide range of cleaning procedures and regulations on how to protect staff and the public the Thai Hotel Group on tara has already received certification for one of its Bangkok Properties at its beach resort in who when they see the certificate as an important credential to have but its what happens after thats critical. Execution of the standards is key. In terms of the manuals and the process and the standards thats all very well but its a day to day interaction and delivery from the people that will make the difference. Despite having the 1st case of covert 1000 outside of china thailand has maintained low infection rates and quickly flattened its Curve Community cooperation and containment measures worked the government now wants to capitalize on that as it calculates reopening bangkok soon to boom airport here is the countrys biggest and busiest over 80 percent of the 65000000. 00 passengers last year were international but now its been reduced to just a trickle of domestic and repatriation flights its going to stay that way at least until the end of june when the International Arrivals ban is lifted it was put in place back in early april with millions of jobs on the line thailand needs to see its airports busy again but it will be a slow and steady opening if there is any increase in covert 1000. 00 cases any progress in building travelers confidence could come crashing down. So the borders are still sealed here in til the end of june so what were really looking at right now is you know whats going to happen with the Domestic Tourism thats what the government is really focused on right now because that will help them you know test those systems that we we just saw in that story in fact that hotel down and who him they say that theyre at capacity limited you know theyll ability because they have to produce those rooms that people can check into but now because theyre finally open these hotels thais are finally getting back out on to the road so thats kind of the testing if you will theyre hoping in the last quarter of this year thats where theyre going to start to see more travelers from abroad europe and north america and thats whats very important to the industry here thats now seeing probably a 60 percent decline compared to last year thats the important overseas dollars that really kind of keeps the industry going here and thats what theyre hoping on but the next couple of weeks theyre going to focus on Domestic Tourism and see how things go yeah the whole arenas that needs a boost in the scott thanks very much indeed thats a picture from bangkok. Brazil has passed to recall the 3rd highest number of code 19 deaths in the world after a broken death toll record for the 4th day in a row well then 1400 deaths were confirmed on thursday pushing the total above 34000. 00 brazil is latin americas worst affected country the president.

Well as nations around the world locked down this spring to help contain coronavirus nicorette us president assured his country there was nothing to worry about schools and businesses they remained open as Daniel Ortega encouraged residents to attend concerts parades and sporting events doctors in the country say the situation is now out of control. As its report. I would give. An express burial in the middle of the night thats how we see it all had to bury his father by the order of the new government hes father allegedly had covert 19. When i entered the cemetery i had to actually naturally because there were orders that the body must be buried and there was no turning back so the only thing i had to try to do was to stream it so that my friends on facebook could be there with me at the time but i dont. Reports of people being buried at night show the death toll of over 1000. 00 is higher than the government of the new lot of big i would like to acknowledge officially only 46. 00 people have died since the pandemic started but independent sources say the number is closer to 980 most death certificates say the deceased died of a typical pneumonia. Critics say the government was also behind a campaign to convince the population that than demick will only attack the rich. We are battling private 19 about extreme measures radical measures that would kill the country and the people we are keeping regular activities open and taking special measures to protect the most vulnerable. But among the dead are journalists like more this who also allegedly died of covert 1000 his relatives blame the government for how he was treated. They killed him this is murder they did not give us any information of what was happening we will continue fighting as we stuck the date. Back out in the recliner nobody can say anything they have a muscle in the mouth all takers are the owners of nicaragua they are the owners of. Doctors in the country have created an independent commission as reports show hospitals are struggling to cope with a situation. We have the 2nd poorest country in the region we come after haiti we have horrible hygiene conditions trash collection is not working in the capital people dont have any water 24 hours a day the government is not taking any measures to protect the population. When you look at the guy has been that i was president since 2007 and has battled opposition brutally in the past few years the fear is that his denial of 19 will have devastating effects in a country that is already in desperate need. And. World leaders businesses. Have raised nearly 9000000000. 00 for worldwide vaccination programs organizers say the money will help immunize hundreds of millions of children against measles and it also includes deals for coronavirus vaccines for poor countries. In the past 20 years one thing has reduced Child Mortality by half that vaccinations but since the corona Virus Outbreak many countries have suspended their immunization programs putting 80000000 babies at risk preventable diseases like measles polio cholera and diptheria worst slowly being wiped out but the World Health Organization is now reporting outbreaks of measles in cambodia nepal and clusters of cholera in ethiopia there are fears the hard won gains may be eroded we cannot exchange deadly outgroup for another. We cannot afford to lose. Every one of his works so who are. We need joint concerted effort by accident nations track and there are many ways to do this wild leaders pledged 8800000000. 00 at a virtual vaccine summit to ensure some 300000000. 00 children between now and 2025 get the protection they need. To die is 300000000. 00 australian dollars total it comes to mind also on the agenda how to make an eventual vaccine against covert 19 available to those who need it most not just the countries who can afford it i would like to announce the launch of the covert 19 global Vaccine Access facility or kovacs facility as recalling that participating countries will receive access to a portfolio of vaccines procured by the facility and based upon an allocation framework and add a negotiated price the race to find a vaccine is unprecedented what usually takes 10 years is being attempted in 18 months to depart trees are putting ahead of the pack with small but successful Clinical TrialsOxford University is testing its vaccine on a 1000 volunteers while the u. S. Biotech company done a announced its vaccine had already generated antibodies in 8 volunteers who have a does develop a successful vaccine stands to make millions despite calling for a new era of Global Health cooperation at the summit the u. K. And the u. S. Have refused to back a w. H. O. Initiative that would make an eventual vaccine patent free both countries have already reserved millions of doses of the future vaccine but the u. N. Is warning against vaccine nationalism because with corona virus unless everyone is safe no one is safe. Aljazeera. Well lets head now from an aspiring who is an assistant professor of Population Health sods at Mount Sinai School of medicine as she explains why its important to support and fund vaccination campaigns one of the things that is clear and this happens with every outbreak is that the death toll from nonviolence is much greater than that from the virus in this particular dogs children where we see for everyone to be dead the mandarins there is 100 deaths from backs in the bengal diseases and theres probably 1000. 00 as we look at other diseases such as malaria tb age id be would. Ask you know ongoing weeks so and looking at these diseases like measles which last year killed 10 times as many kids in the congo as a policy then weve had these vaccines the 50 years so we try to really back we we should have been able to eradicate museums by now and indeed there was a fantastic a bit to push to do so which has also been around probably pandemic but i think whats really is that you know we need doesnt might have vaccine we need Public Health and we need primary health care.
