In the death of. Police custody in may and. A number of protests that taking place across the country but 1st tell us the latest developments in the. Latest development daryn is that the new York Attorney general with key should james says she will quickly empanel a grand jury as part of the investigation into the death of daniel prove with the tourney general james said in a statement that the prude family and the community of rockefeller have through been through tremendous pain and she promised an exhaustive investigation the call for a grand jury was supported by both new York Governor Andrew Cuomo as well as a local Rochester Police organization no grand jury proceedings can take a long time they are closed there are secret in fact its a crime to disclose what goes on inside a grand jury but most legal analysts in the United States have always said that if a prosecutor wants to obtain an indictment against a suspect from a grand jury he or she can do so fairly easily as grand juries generally follow the lead of the prosecutor unknown exactly when or who will or whether will be indicted but there are 7 Police Officers who were involved in the death of daniel brood who have been suspended with pay now you mentioned louisville that is was a tense situation her earlier today right around the time of the famous Kentucky Derby horse race there were rival groups of protesters one Group Calling itself patriots and pro police many of them men armed with. Guns others the other group black lives matter protesters there was some arguing and shouting and name calling but no violence and eventually the a socalled Patriot Group withdrew from the scene the race was held without any spectators and so there were no reports of any arrests or any injuries in Portland Oregon there are of vigils sit ins and marches underway the earlier today at a park in portland.

Thank you well there is a professor at George Washington university she says the protest movement has already had a huge impact on american society. These struggles have been going on for decades the struggles themselves arent new i think what we are seeing here is the way in which these protests actually have miniature changed quite a few things in a short period of time on the one hand bringing in more people than ever before for support they have changed the language that americans use we now hear calls for defunding the Police Coming from you know dinner tables every night where that was not the case just a few months ago and weve seen changes in a lot of different localities where most of the policies about the use of the police and regulations for police are many so we have seen changes in specific locations what we havent seen are some of the Larger National changes that people are calling for and in part thats because Donald Trumps presidency has staked itself on the claim that it is a law and order presidency by which trump generally means kind of unrestrained use of the police which is where a lot of the roach from protesters are now coming into the picture. Now Health Officials in the u. S. Are worried about a possible new surge in corona virus infections during the Labor Day Holiday weekend they fear gatherings and crowded bars could make the weekend a critical point in the fight against the virus the u. S. Has already recorded at least 6200000 cases and more than 188000 deaths. There are more worrying signs that mexicos death toll from corona virus could be much higher its already the 4th worst in the world at more than 67000. 00 but its Health Ministry says that more than 100 20000. 00 of what it calls excess deaths during the month has been dealing with the pandemic is not yet clear how many of those can be linked to cope with 19 another indication of how its struggling to cope with the sheer numbers is that several regions have now run out of death certificates or 30 say a 1000000 new forms of being printed and distributed and the medics taking care of the influx of patients are suffering as well Rights Groups say more Health Workers have died from the virus in mexico than any other country because of a lack of protective equipment but lets bring in his man out hes a professor at the National University of mexico and joins us live now from mexico city so lets talk 1st about the numbers mexico has recorded around 122000 more deaths than expected this year how much does this suggest the government could actually be under reporting that covert 950. 00 s. And how worrying is that. Well there is a big brawl in mexico and big fight. Between this yankee stand. With the president and they were meant you know were talking about the code 19 and then me now many people are talking about doormen hes like that it kites derian number of that as you mention. More than. One in 100000. And 2020000 x. s that. Are used and they the record of this that has pneumonia s. Or Something Like that but not mentioned not mentioned a shoe a horse that is a big problem for us to go to to see how many people is that because there are many susskind of people keeping home yeah and raul some regions in mexico have even run out of death certificates havent they i mean how does this underline how poorly prepared many regions and the government are to deal with the rapid increase in cases. Yes well then it probably is the only reason is not doing this its. Only in mexico we have 1000000 of tests by decorum and nice lives down one percent of the population in mexico many people are keeping home on their were and nobody in the know what is the real cookouts of the of the debt and when they go to the to the hospital or they seek a doctor to see the people they dont report that that is a big program in. New mexico present dont believe in the for example in the mask the coupon showed hes peering in the television with mask this is on another beat brought in because the people dont believe that the. The news you see is such and lets talk about the frontline workers rally because we know that more Health Workers in mexico have died from covert 19 than any other country in the world Rights Groups say look its because of a lack of protective equipment so why isnt the government doing more to protect its frontline workers yes this is another priority going to be relevant since the beginning mean. The vets in the hospitals are very very important and the Health Workers are very worried and they were in the dont have enough it workers in the course because in the normal course because you need to protect these people the big issue right now in mexico as you mention.

Well there is a slight decrease over the past 24 hours as opposed to the numbers that came out on friday just over 4600 new confirmed cases across the country and 63 people have died in the past 24 hours as a result of code related issues but these figures are an indication that the shura gatherings which took place on august 30th in the city of karbala in southern iraq which commemorates the death of amman hossein who is the grandson of the late prophet is that one of the main reasons that were seeing such a spike in these numbers over the past 48 hours across the country does been nearly 10000 new infections and those numbers are something this country has not seen just to give you an idea in neighboring iran its double the size a population of iraq and they have half the number of confirmed cases we also understand that these figures that we receive on a daily basis are not true indication of the actual number of people that are confirmed to have the virus because many people dont get tested or they are too afraid to go to hospitals many of the facilities and medical facilities in the country are not equipped to deal with the number of people that they should be dealing with on a daily basis the just the numbers weve seen of people who have contracted kovan 1000 go into a medical facility in baghdad alone over the past 48 hours has been just around 370 so this shows us that they really a number of people weve spoken to as well say even if they do get sick they do not seek medical help.
