Hello 2 Police Officers have been shot in the u. S. City of louisville during protests against the group 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 firing into her neighbors apartment taylors family described incision 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 has spread to other u. S. Cities including washington d. C. And new york large crowds of antiracism protesters gathered demanding justice for Brianna Taylor and the 2 police brutality. Reporting from there we felt. 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. In naming of the charges that dont even mention. Names 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. Said 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 a 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 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 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 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 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 the 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 Al Jazeera louisville kentucky.

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 has 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 that devastating impacts of the Climate Crisis.

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 change is fast melting away there is no doubt World Leaders need to front up and show the kind of commitment they got the Paris Agreement over the line.
