Embattled president is sworn in in a secret ceremony. We all share the benefits we all share the burden the European Union unveils a new refugee policy as leaders admit the blocks asylum process isnt working. Hello 2 Police Officers have been shot in the u. S. City of louisville during protests against the grand jurys decision not to charge any officers for killing black women Brianna Taylor the jury indicted one of the 3 officers involved in the Fatal Shooting for a firing into her neighbors apartment taylors family described the decision as outrageous and offensive hundreds of people defied an overnight curfew to protest against the ruling they want the officers charged for murder. Or manslaughter well outrage against the grand jurys decision has spread to other u. S. Cities as well including washington d. C. And new york large crowds of racism protests gathered demanding justice for Briana Taylor and for an end to Police Brutality we will begin john hendren life for us certainly from louisville but 1st here is his reports. Anger in a sense of justice denied spilled over into the streets of louisville. Police who have faced off with demonstrators in one American City after another acted quickly. Think its a slap in the face to everybody who believes in justice and goodness and rightness. Its the least of the charges that you could imagine happening. Is the naming of the charges that dont even mention Briana Taylors name its not just it is not justice kentuckys attorney general announced 3 charges of Reckless Endangerment against brett hank isnt one of 3 officers who fired into the home of Briana Taylor in march she died seconds later theres no doubt that this is a gut wrenching emotional case and the pain that many people are feeling is understandable i deeply care about the value and sanctity of human life deserves protection and in this case the human life was lost we cannot forget that the charges were for firing into the neighboring home of a white family of 3 not for the shooting of taylor the officer who fired the fatal shots was not charged. Sad enough no thats not enough taylor died after Police Firing their weapons stormed her apartment in march carrying out a no knock warrant for evidence against a friend of taylors her boyfriend Kenneth Walker says that moments before they entered he had fired a shot through the door at what he thought were intruders taylors family had hoped for murder charges the charges should have been murder oh rest the cops all the cops should have been arrested how can you worse in the someones home fire. Kill them and not be charged less than murder downtown louisville has been boarded up for days in anticipation a curfew set for 3 days on the car behind me you can see people including the shirtless man who are among the 1st people arrested in Louisville Police asked them to disperse they did not and then they ended up in handcuffs. Armed sometimes angry men and women walk the streets with assault rifles. If you can. State lawmakers are not waiting representative adek of scotts Briana Taylor law would end no knock warrants already banned in louisville and require officers serving warrants to wear body cameras im disappointed but not surprised justice was not served today and so thats why we will continue to fight for Brianna Taylor and her family and so that no other person is murdered by police with impunity is a start taylors mother told al jazeera in june that her daughters legacy would endure this isnt the way i would have wanted her to. Stay away and landed. Him in definitely still be helping people so definitely sustained in the war. That change has come at an unimaginable cost to her family and in the view of the crowd in the streets far too little cost to the officers who left her dead in her own home. Lets bring in john hes joining us from louisville well talk about the lack of charges john in a moment but 1st were hearing reports of 2 Police Officers being shot the scene evening what can you tell us about that. Thats right the police chief here confirms that 2 officers were shot one is undergoing an operation the other one is alert theyre both in stable condition and police say they have a suspect in custody those officers were responding to a report of shots fired so they have arrested a suspect in that case there is no word that there is any other suspect it will give you more on that if we find it out with what right now what is happening is it is and 2 hours after the curfew and a few minutes and you look behind me we had expected to be in that square but police told us if we were there that we would be arrested along with the hundreds of other demonstrators who are in that square being cleared out by police on horseback and on foot and if that happens to you you end up in those houses that weve seen so many people here wearing as a matter of fact if you look just over that direction there is a gentleman who just tried to walk past the police line and they said no its curfew and thats where hes ended up for the evening we have seen police here respond in a much stronger way than weve seen in other cities they give an order to disperse and then they just start arresting people in this case they launched flash bang grenades and cleared this square with people in riot gear so police here are taking things very seriously and john howard prosecutors explaining the lack of charges again. Any Police Officer linked to the death of Briana Taylor. Well it is true that Brenda Taylors family received 12000000. 00 in a civil settlement so you would think that someone will be held would be held responsible but no one is being charged we did shooting a Briana Taylor and were told by the prosecutors that is because those officers believe that they were responding in defense of their own lives because brooke Brianna Taylors boyfriend was in the apartment at the time something officers apparently didnt know when they came to serve a warrant there and after he shot at what he thought were intruders officers fired back a number of shots into that apartment killing Briana Taylor almost instantly and then the reason one officer was charged with wanton recklessness was that apparently he fired into a neighboring apartment where 3 people lived and thats the basis of those 3 charges but so far those are the only charges we have theres a federal investigation well see if charges come out of that but the people in the street are not happy about those charges and theyre letting it be known all right john handwritten thank you for that update from louisville now the u. S. President has again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the series election and suggested the results could end up before the Supreme Court donald trump will visit the court on thursday to pay his respects to Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died on friday mourners have been honoring the liberal icon Shihab Rattansi reports from washington. Im here im stuffed in a short private ceremony in the great tool of the u. S. Supreme court the chief justice paid tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg noting the cheetah originally hoped for a life in music she was not an opera star but she found her stage right behind me in our court room there she won famous victories that helped move our nation closer to equal justice under law to the extent that women are now a majority in law schools not simply a handful. Later she became a star on the bench where she sat for 27 years or 483. 00 majority concurring and dissenting opinions will steer the court for decades Justice Ginsburgs coffin was then taken to the steps of the Supreme Court since the announcement of her death on friday the area has been transformed into a shrine to the woman whod become a liberal pop culture here at the notorious all b. G. She hadnt done what she did for gender equality i dont believe i would be an attorney i think the reason were here is. She was such a such an icon such a person that is she did so much for women and men are. Among those who will pay their respects President Trump is expected to visit on thursday morning he says he will announce his nominee for ginsburgs replacement on saturday and is keen for 9 justices to be seated in the event the results of the president ial election end up at the Supreme Court the president made it clear once again that he was prepared to contest the results of the election even refusing to answer a yes or no question about whether he would ensure a peaceful transition of power to see what happens you know that i mean complaining very strongly about the ballots and the bellisario disaster and the people arriving. To making sure that theres a nice little worry for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and you know have a very transparent have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of 2 candidates both women have emerged as the front runner as barbara leggo who is based florida im cuban american some around the president favor for the potential electoral benefit with latino voters in must win florida as well as nevada and arizona however a devout Catholic Amy Kearney Barrett has the favor of conservative religious republicans they feel she will not surprise them with her judgments if she takes her place in the Supreme Court ginsburg will lie in state in the u. S. Capitol on friday the woman avatar over. Before that obama should have recounts the aljazeera washington lets talk about the president s comments specifically with a dolphin franco hes joining us from washington d. C. Hes a lawyer and hes a republican strategist thanks very much for your time so we heard and she hops a piece the president was asked about the election and he refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power saying well have to see what happens to these comments were you going out in the least i think with the president s comments reflect is not there is a peaceful transfer of power but whether theres a Fair Election and the result election you have to remember that just 20 years ago former Vice President gore contests took the results of the election in florida and took it all the way ironically to the Supreme Court for a 5 to 4 decision that if we dont have a 9th one 3rd. Confirmed the Supreme Court will roll call for this country the president in 2060 and again this year has said that he will see what kind of election takes place it is a Fair Election we have states such as nevada changing the rules of the election weeks before the election with universal mailboat which has never taken place in such short order in our history so theres a great deal of concern about the election the president s voice here now right but there is just a 2nd right now to just allow me to step in for a moment because the president wasnt specifically asked about a peaceful transfer of power not about a Fair Election and he said were going to have to wait to see what happens. Well i can assure you that the president when hes answering things in rapid fire things your porter is not referring to remain tending in power he mediately said as your clip showed well see about these universal ballots and mail in ballots in front of the president has consistently said throughout the last few weeks that he is concerned about the election that said at rallies that hes not going to necessarily say right not me whos going to agree to the results because of the potential for prague and it might be contested just as the democrat as contested at 20 years ago and i might add Hillary Clinton the vice former candidate for the presidency as told by its president by that he should not concede under any circumstances so i guess he doesnt have power but hes unwilling to concede or shes telling him not to concede even if its clear that he lost so thats undermining democracy its very polarized in our country the president is just simply saying lets watch out for voter fraud through mail in ballots and no im not going to take an eye on that issue election and certainly but on that issue of fraud specifically hes often expressed that over and over about these ballots saying that widespread mail and is rife with fraud but what is he basing that on because he never provide any evidence. Well if you look at patterson new jersey where we have a lawsuit in and an already decided that lection needs to be run again because of mail in and out ballots thats just very recent weve had situations in clark county recently in nevada where weve had more about an sent than people are on the registered rolls the same thing in Los Angeles County democratic strongholds so the president is clear about something weve never had universal mail in voting at these suggested levels in states that have not tested the system in our history and yes there is concern it is not just the president its the attorney general the United States has voiced this and a number of other officials i will tell you the secretary of state of Washington State a democrat said that state took 5 years to perfect their mail in voting no that is proposing to do it in 6 weeks of course the president is correct all right well have to leave it there we thank you very much franco for speaking to us from washington thank you for the opportunity Belarusian Police have once again crackdown on protesters and mens hours after Alexander Lukashenko was sworn in as a president in a secret ceremony some demonstrators have been detained people are angry that lukashenko has not resigned following last months disputed election he took his oath and francis several 100 government officials and several countries have said they wont recognize his presidency didnt stupidity of dollars in the speech he did the day of assuming the post of the president in all gratian day is the day of our victory convincing and faithful we were not just electing the president of the country we were defending our values our peaceful life our sovereignty and out independence and in this regard there is a lot to be done on the ballot and opposition leaders have planets a kind of sky has dismissed the swearing in ceremonies speaking from neighboring lithuania. At the back of the bomb and the rats this socalled inauguration is obviously a farce in reality has just retired today it means his orders to military and Security Services on legitimate anymore and can no longer be executed i am the only leader elected by the belorussian people ask now is to build a new bell aris together. Still ahead on al jazeera volunteers in sudan step up to help those affected by weeks of devastating floods. The opportunity for a change melting away can World Leaders get the Climate Crisis back on the agenda. I want a place to say that Tropical Storm beta now in the process of weakening but you can still see where the system is its making its way towards that eastern side of texas grassy pushing a little further north which in eastward so louisiana will see some heavy rain as we go through the next couple of days pushing up towards kentucky even over towards the appalachians some of these parts could see as much as 100 maybe a 150. 00 millimeters of rain and that will cause further flooding getting a move on mind by the time we come to friday it will be around the middle that it stays brighter skies starting to come back in behind wetter whether theyre up towards the lakes eastern parts of canada towards ontario seeing some wet weather and notice over towards b. C. Some wet weather here as well and that cloud and rain just sliding its way down across the western side of Washington State into oregon hopefully helping with wildfires but i suspect that could be some landslides and some flooding a possibility of some landslides and flooding since it over the next long arc of cloud coming across the great rantin this heavy downpours on the cards here for a time wetter weather started to push its way back to wards hispaniola western parts of the caribbean also seeing some showers along the spells of writing tony particularly what for costa rica.

City of louisville theres anger after a grand jury ruled that Police Officers involved with the Fatal Shooting of black women Brianna Taylor used justified force u. S. President donald trump is again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses novembers election trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the legitimacy of man and ballots police a crackdown again on protesters in minsk using water cannon to clear them and detaining others it happened hours after Alexander Lukashenko was sworn in as president in a secret ceremony. The European Union is proposing to overhaul the way its members deal with incoming refugees and migrants it would see tighter border controls a streamlined process for Asylum Seekers who are rejected and require each country to host at least some Refugees European Commission president underlay and says all states share the responsibility to take the pressure off nations on the coasts even for migrants who have been granted asylum the journey remains incredibly difficult Stephanie Decker reports from the greek island of lesbos. No one we asked here was aware of the hughes announcement of a new policy no mohamed from afghanistan has been granted asylum but remain stuck on the island on lockdown for Asylum Seekers due to the corona virus he reminds us how he and thousands of others suffered to make it this far must help him suffer the journey of refugees and migrants the illegal way is really really difficult you know many people get hurt some get stuck along the way its a horrible journey europe has recently reignited the discussion on its migration policies prompted by the burning down of moriah camp europes biggest here and as was island over 2 weeks ago this package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden this package also reflects a very pragmatic and realistic approach but it seems the new policy is more focused on tightening border controls and on sending back those with failed to successfully claim asylum rather than streamline the process for those already here a steadiest kind of us is a greek lawyer providing free legal aid to the Asylum Seekers its a messy and complicated process if its out of the actual them to have the right to appeal on this 3rd so they have the right cause obligation to provide free legal a lot of support of them to draft. Appeal however there is a lot of legal of a provision of legal so the silencers will have an assertive visit. The lack of information provided to the refugees about the process means many cannot access the legal avenues the technically should be provided for them many remain here not knowing how to appeal others are faced multiple rejections but have not been deported. For those like mohammed who have been granted what is seen as the ultimate dream when everyone here wants lawyers tell us his hardships a far from over in fact they could get even worse there is hardly any help once theyre cut off from any aid due to their asylum status and there is a lack of Integration Programs to help them adjust to a new society after months and months if not years of languishing in these camps. 100 percent im worried im worried how to integrate myself into the society are more about finding a job how to find work and stand on my own feet and to make my life again the e. U. Says it needs to share the burden of the refugee and migration crisis greece and the residents here say they are tired of doing it alone from a hominid whos left everything behind in search of a safer and better life and for the 10s of thousands of others like him waiting for answers in the camps of europes border states the burden and the feeling of doing it alone is far too familiar Stephanie Decker aljazeera Lesbos Island greece the u. N.

And the neighboring sudan weeks of devastating floods have displaced more than half a 1000000 people and damaged over 100000 homes water levels on the river and all are now falling and volunteers have been working to help those whove been affected morgan reports from khartoum. After weeks of being at its highest level in a century the blue nile is in retreat here on the island of tutti and hundreds and volunteers are pumping out water left behind the island lies between the blue and white nile and is one of the areas in the capital the worst affected by floods that have left hundreds of its people displaced. The more than even if they returned back to its normal level the water that broke through the barriers we built and flooded the island wont disappear and will stay stagnant it will take months to dry out enough to result in diseases so we the residents of the island have volunteers in the team working in shifts for days to drain the water out hes one of dozens of volunteers working to help on the Little Island and one of hundreds across the country the floods were caused by heavy rains in the south and the east european highlands more than 600000 people were displaced and over 140000 homes were damaged across the dam the government declared a 3 month state of emergency while sudans government aid organizations have responded to their emergency volunteers have a crucial role most come from flood affected areas for them repairing the damage done will mean they can return to their normal life sooner.

It had been hoped that 2020 would be the year the world got to grips with tackling the Climate Crisis but the coronavirus pandemic has delayed anticipated Global Negotiations on thursday at the Un General Assembly World Leaders will try to get the talks back on track set against the backdrop of increased wildfires and hurricanes disappearing polar ice reports. Across the world. Take this right here is a Climate Emergency unfolding before our very eyes where there was once a thick layer of sea ice is now fragmented broken up sea ice is already lost 2 thirds of its volume over the past 4 decades and this years summer extent is the 2nd lowest ever measured their rapid loss of sea ice in the arctic its a sobering indicator of how close they are planets circling the drain. As the arctic ice melts more heat will be trapped by the ocean and all of us will be more exposed by the devastating impacts of the Climate Crisis. And this year those impacts have been brutal from record wildfires in the western United States. And in australia to seemingly endless storms and hurricanes queueing up in the atlantic making landfall with colossal and catastrophic effect. About now and weve only got about one degree of warming at the moment and already were seeing more extreme weather were seeing millions of people displaced from their homes there were seeing devastation both in poor countries and increasingly in rich countries despite Donald Trumps dismissal of reality it will start getting cooler. You just watch in contrast this week an unexpected boost from the worlds biggest source of Greenhouse Gases thats china who pledged Carbon Neutrality by 2060 taking advantage of u. S. Reluctance to address the climate question. Just sure covert 19 reminds us that humankind should launch a green revolution and move faster to create a green way of development to preserve the environment and make mother earth a better place for all. Back in 2015 Christiana Figueres is one of the chief architects of the celebrated Paris Agreement while welcoming chinas move she said the country like the rest of the world its at a major fork in the road because of the size of the economy china still consumes more coal than the rest of the world combined so you have these 2 internal realities in china that are basically one representing the future world that they want to move toward and the other representing the old world that they are moving beyond and we have to understand that this is a process. At a time when the opportunity for changes fast melting away there is no doubt World Leaders need to front up and show the kind of commitment they got to Paris Agreements over the line macleod aljazeera. Teller again the headlines on aljazeera 2 Police Officers have been shot during protests in the u. S. City of louisville theres anger after a grand jury ruled that Police Officers involved in the Fatal Shooting of black woman Brianna Taylor used justified forests john hendren has an latest from the evil. We know that theres a lot of anger in the streets here hundreds of protesters filled the streets its now an hour after curfew so we civilians you see here are violating that curfew and. Everyone we talked to who had been out in the street demonstrating told us they were dissatisfied with the outcome in fact no one was prosecuted for shooting Briana Taylor the prosecution for wanton recklessness in the case of one officer who fired 3 shots fired into a neighboring apartment where 3 people lived that is the only charge to come out of this u. S. President donald trump has again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses novembers election trump suggested the results could end up before the Supreme Court trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the legitimacy of mail in ballots police again crackdown on protesters amends using Water Cannons to clear them and detaining others it happened hours after Alexander Lukashenko was sworn in as president in a secret ceremony European Union is proposing to overhaul the way members deal with incoming migrants and refugees it would see tighter border controls a streamlined process for Asylum Seekers who are rejected and require each country to host at least some refugees meanwhile a boat carrying refugees is on its way from the mediterranean to the french port of say the crew of a german aid group rescued more than a 100 people from waters off of libyas coast on saturday antigovernment protesters in egypt are back on the streets for a 4th night despite a massive crackdown on dissent thats led to the arrest of 300 people demonstrators are calling for the president to step down. Those are the headlines women make science is up next on aljazeera when the news breaks and racism protests continue in a number of cities across the United States when people need to be heard in this council a real boy with nearly 500. 00 points with destroyed about 80 percent of this land aljazeera has teams on the ground people are just talking about wind and solar if thats going to solve the problem if want to bring you more room to move to new documentaries and light me. On i dont mind. A. Little further up right.
