Hello to 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 Briona Taylor the jury indicted one of the 3 officers involved in the Fatal Shooting for firing into her neighbors apartment taylors family describe 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 and outrage against the grand jurys decision has spread to other u. S. Cities including washington d. C. And new york large crowds of antiracism protesters gather demanding justice for Brianna Taylor. And then. John hendren reports from louisville. 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 can 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 Hankerson 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 a 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. He said enough. 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 or rest the cops all the cops should have been arrested how can you worse in the someones home fire. And not be charged with 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. Police say theyve arrested a suspect after 2 officers were shot during the evening both officers are currently undergoing treatment at university hospital. One is in alert in stable the other officers currently undergoing surgery in stable. State lawmakers are not waiting representative adic of scots 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 its a start taylors mother told al jazeera in june that her daughters legacy would endure this isnt the way i would have wanted it to be. Still way inland. In definitely still be helping people so definitely. Change in a war. That changes 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 john hendren aljazeera louisville kentucky. Lets bring in isaac bryant hes the executive director of u. C. L. A. s black policy project hes joining us from los angeles thanks very much for your time with us whats your reaction to the lack of charges against the Police Officers linked to the death of Briana Taylor its a tragic day its a failure of the criminal legal system and unfortunately its not all that surprising we have a long history of failing officers accountable when things like this happen as a number of Different Things that have been changed in the situation to prevent this from happening its a tragedy and we should all mourn detain the family. The prosecutors in kentucky the attorney general said that the officers were justified in their use of force because someone was shooting at them what do you make of that i think people have a right to bear arms i think that was sort of a no knock warrant there shouldnt be any things no knock warrants especially based on evidence gained by a special unit of the Police Department that hyperboles a specific part of our community our course our black is part of the community theres a lot of questions here that need to be unraveled about our system before we get the just we deserve but when it comes to accountability i think we fail today i think we failed to take the family and i think we could have done better. And if you look at the events that have transpired just over the past few hours 2 officers have been shot in louisville. Do you fear that the escalating violence may just lead to more violence and then this may undermine the message that people are trying to get across. I think theres been a number of progressive piece of legislation across the country i think with the breathe act i think about a number of other bills looking critically about the role of Law Enforcement institutions in our country they havent gotten the traction that they need we need to deal with structural violence thats what causes problems for everybody and thats rooted in systemic failures and Education Systems and our Public Health infrastructure and our divestment from the institutions of health and well being what we invest in our cars or systems and louisville a disproportionate share of the city budget goes to policing when it could go to systems of care so same systems of care that are preventing black communities from those in way that we need especially in the cover 19 crisis we have more that we can do and therefore to suggest as pushing for further legislation how do you begin to change the system then were to organize we have to mourn we have to grieve and then we have to look at policies not more should exist should be fired from one department of jurisdiction and a lot of work in another jurisdiction which it never did prepares fortunate share or civic resources going to our systems upon well our systems of care are completely undervalued underfunded we need to think critically about these moments in our history because i dont want to have another unknown person another black person another black woman died at the hands of Law Enforcement we could be investing in systems of care that would prevent these incidences from occurring and right i think ryan we thank you very much for speaking to us and ill just arrived from los angeles. Thank you right now the u. S. President has again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if you loses the series election and suggest that 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 their liberal icon Shihab Rattansi reports from washington. They. Need same stuff 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 cheater 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. If 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 1st of course 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 a 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 ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the bellisario disaster and it will arrive. To making sure that theres a nice little worry for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and youll have a very transparent have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer frankly there will be a continuation 2 candidates both women have emerged as the front runner as barbara was 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 county parent has the favor of conservative religious republicans they feel she will not surprise them with a judgment if she takes her place in the Supreme Court ginsburg will lie in state in the u. S. Capitol on friday the 1st woman ever to have been afforded. Washington. Adolfo franco is a lawyer and a republican strategist he says trumps comments are less about the transfer of power and more about his concerns over a Fair Election the president has consistently said throughout the last few weeks that he is concerned about the election has said at rallies that hes not going to necessarily say right now obvious going to agree to the results because of the potential for fraud and it might be contested just as the democrats thats contested it 20 years ago and i might add Hillary Clinton the vice former candidate for the presidency has told by his President Biden 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 commit to an election that he inserted into if you look at paterson new jersey where we have a lawsuit in the end it already decided that lection needs to be run again because of marilyn and and about ballots thats just very recent weve had situations in clark county recently in nevada where weve had more ballots sent than people are on the registered rolls the same thing in Los Angeles County all democrat 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 is the attorney general the United States has voiced this and a number of other officials i will tell you this secretary of state of Washington State a democrat said that state took 5 years to perfect their mail and voting no bad is proposing to do it in 6 weeks of course the president is correct.

European Commission President of underlay and says all e. U. States share the responsibility sake the pressure off nations on the coasts such piercing is the chief executive of asylum charity the joint council for the welfare of immigrants he says the current approach isnt working. Weve got tens of thousands of people in camps across the mediterranean that the tragic incident of a camp bearing down in greece and you know over 10000 people being displaced as a result of that but what we see from these proposals is that unfortunately the political will just is not there in europe right now to address the problems of people fleeing persecution people who already europe you need to be resettled you need to be integrated and were seeing this continued emphasis on speedy returns which is if you like a sort of way for brussels to appease rather than confront hardliners populists and nationalists its good that the commission that europe is is recognizing that support needs to be given to Member States who are you know doing their bit stepping up to the plate and resettling people its good that those resources are there because it will speed up the process of integration can you know and set language the corkery coaching housing and all the rest of it but something that is really troubling about these proposals is that there is so much flexibility about what states can do so there is no obligation in more to take the obligation of of hosting and resettling refugees so the state could for example say you know were not going to host anybody but were just going to pay a relatively small amount of money into a central pot so we could find ourselves in a situation in which people are essentially being passed from one state to another with nobody nobody really willing to step up and on of their commitments antigovernment protesters in egypt are back on the streets for a 4th night despite a massive crackdown on dissent that has led to the arrest of 300 people.

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 floods and hurricanes and disappearing polar ice the cork reports. Across the world Natural Systems are in. 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. Dent 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 impact of the Climate Crisis.

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 their per year were seeing devastation both in poor countries and increasingly in rich countries despite Donald Trumps dismissal of reality it will start getting cooler but i was just 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 us reluctance to address the climate question. Just how easy and she sure covered 900 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 was 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 change is 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.
