Thank you. A grand jury has voted to indict one Police Officer involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor on a lesser charge of on wanton of wanton endangerment. This happened after pole burst into her apartment. This was taken up by the black hives matter movement. Black lives matter movement. The family said that the outcome was outrageous and offensive. We will turn to the eu publishing approach to migration after lesbos continue to highlight strains within the eu. Unfortunately, 400 whales have now died in the massive stranding in australia. We will let you know of the rescue efforts for those that remain alive. Lets turn straight to kentucky. The grand jury has votedo indict one of the Police Officers in all in the shooting. Officer hankinson because some of his bullets went through rhianna taelors apartment into another flat. No officers will face charges for the killing. I understand that miss Breonna Taylors death has become a part of a national taelor National Story and conversation. We must also remember that the fact and collection of evidence in this case are different than cases elsewhere in the country. Each is unique and cannot be compared. Two other officers, cosgrove and mattingly, also fired their question their weapons. Detective cosgrove and Sergeant Mattingly were justified in returning fire because they were fired upon. We have vigorous selfdefense laws in this state and that is something that existed prior to this case. I will let others judgments about that. Breonna taylor was a 26yearold emergency medical technician. In march, she was shot eight times after police entered her home in the middle of the night der a noknock warrant. Her boyfriend exchanged fire with the officers inking that they were burglars. They were on a drug raid. No drugs were found at the hot at the property. At the property. The lawyer for the family has reacted via this tweet saying the behavior was wanton endangerment. People in neighboring apartments it should have been wanton endangerment in her apartment as well. In fact, it should have been wanton murder. It led to widescale ministrations. More on the reaction. A lot of disappointment here. The charge relates to why one of the three officers was fired, which was a neighbor compared that some complained that some of the bullets had penetrated his wall. They do not relate directly to Breonna Taylors murder or manslaughter. At that is what people here were looking for. That is what people here were looking for. People have been protesting for about three months about the fact that Breonna Taylor was killed in her home by officers on that no knock warrant. In the end, it was for a drug raid that led to an exboyfriend and no drugs were found on her property. There will be, i am sure, a show of outrage that people feel in the streets later today. Have we been given any justifications for the charges that have and have not brought . Are the authorities offering an explanation . We have had rudimentary statements so far, but this was supposed to be a litmus test on how america does Police Accountability in the aftermath of George Floyds killing and this will be a huge disappointment for a lot of those who are looking for some Movement Forward on civil rights in this country. Here is our reporter on how the family reacted to this news. They expected some stronger charges. A charge of wanton endangerment that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison may explain why they feel it is a slap on the wrist. If you consider that this woman was shot in her home and led to her death on her own floor. Larry, in terms of the familys focus, one man was charged, butere they hoping that war men and all in the raid would face one charge or another . From the family that the officers, not just hankinson that was fired from the police department, but also mattingly and cost growth cosgrove. He said that they were justified in the use of fire because they were fired upon by kenneth walker, a licensed gun owner. They are not getting any charges against them, which will lead to a lot of egg or and this appointment for the family and all those out there agitating for justice for the last three months. Lets continue with our coverage from the u. S. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg a private ceremony was held inside the court where ginsburg sent for 27 years. Pallbearers carried the coffin into the white marble or building and it was placed at the top of the grand front steps were numbers of the public will be able to passnd pay their respects until friday. Bill and Hillary Clinton paying their respects. Lets hear some of the ceremony. Chief Justice John Roberts led a minute of silence and attributes to the woman effectually known as the notorious r. B. G. It was said that ruth wanted to be an opera virtuoso and became a rock star instead. But she chose the law. Subjected to discrimination in the jo market because she was a woman, ruth would grow to become the leading advocate fighting such discrimination in court. She was an opera star, but she found her stage right behind me in our courtroom. There, she won famous victories that help to move our nation closer to equal justice under law, to the extent that women are now the majority in law schools, not simply a handful. Our reporter spent the day at the supreme court. It was a moving ceremony inside the great hall, not just the chief justice there, but a rabbi talked abo her as being a model american, a grand american, a real example of a true american. The family was there and the other justices were around. It was simple, but a very moving ceremony. Just after that, the casket was brought outside and placed at the top of the steps and the publ in three long columns going across the street, waiting to pass by. They will get to do that until 10 00 tonight and again from up until 10 00 tomorrow. They are expecting a lot of people. Gary, it is hard not to compare the column we are seeing with the heat of the political battle still surrounding who will replace her on the supreme court. Yeah. This was a woman who made huge waves in life without any doubt with her campaigns and her legal opinions and her battling for gender already and equality of other kinds as well, but she is making huge waves in death because her absence has led to a real political struggle here on capitol hill where the president and the Republican Senate are planning to push through a conservative judge to take her space on the court before the election, or perhaps just after the election. They have the numbers to do it and if ty do that, the court here will take a significant turn to the right with around six conservatives to three liberals. That can change american lives for decades to come. The European Union and its approach to migration. The mandatory solidarity mechanism will oblige each state they will return the receive a fee. Members of state will decide people will return home. Which failure to initially address each case of a migrant would see countries taken to court and fined. The case for this new system the European Union has already proven in other areas that it can take extraordinary steps to rican style to reconcile diverging perspectives. A complex market, a common currency, and an unprecedented Recovery Plan to rebuild our economies. It is now time to rise the challenge, to manage migration jointly with the right balance between solidarity and responsibility. Let us not forget the background. The eu Member States have been divided over what to do with migrants and divisions between them became pronounced in 2015 when over one Million People arrived, mainly via italy and greece. Already, those divisions are being seen again. There are doubts over strip eating over europe for its part huary has been against relocation of migrants, but listen to the reaction of one right wing hungarian. The return to sponsorship as a way to contribute to stability in europe. Those people who have come into europe illegally and have the right to stay because they need to be taken back to their home countries and those countries that do not accept relocation of migrants can contribute through that system. If that is going to be the case, that is something that we can accept some hungary and enthusiasm therefore a new method of seeing full returned to their home countries. We will have to see if countries will accept further refugees. I think this is something eu leaders underlined and the president believes it is a definitive vote. A legacy they have been working since the start of her presidency to say that this is something they can reshape. Diplomatically, she has had some of her civil servants, usurpers, going from country to country to work out what it is that they can meet in the middle. Not everyone delighted by this plan, but that is it that does not cost the redline. It was that moment, the burning of the refugee camp inlets boss in lesbos, it has called everybodys attention. Lets put forward this plan. What strikes me as being different because there have been talks in the past of getting money for each migrant in this case, 10,000 euros, 11,000, where it is different is the aim is to get those who have been skeptical in the past, the czechs, russians, slovakians, polish, you can adopt responsibility for a failed asylum seeker. You have eight months to contact the country of origin that they are from and make sure you speed up the proce to get them back. It is leaning more towards the return and why . Today, we heard from the eu that two thirds of migrants coming to the islands since 2015 have been failed asylum seekers. It day they believe that if they can express returns, you will likely see less of burning of camps in the future. In a few minutes, we will look at what has been happening to hundreds of whales stranded in australia. A rescue effort continues. The u. K. Chancellor will give details on thursda his latest plans to protect jobs through the winter as coronavirus restrictions come into course. It comes to an end month the government has scrapped its awesome budget. The big picture here is squaring that circle of having to support the economy and jobs more because of the extra restrictions of coronavirus, but also generally because of the economy. At the same time, a budget will be a place where you start to explain how taxes might have risen to begin to pay down payments on repaying that. The budget being canceled means that tomorrow we will get more spending on supporting jobs, but that question on where the payback on this kid he delayed on this can be delayed. We are live here in the bbc news room. Our story comes from kentucky where a grand jury has voted the controversy around the decision at the u. K. Government tech is that the virus surged in much will not go away. The u. K. Lockedown after European Countries like france and italy had already carried out that measure. The debate around this issue became more inflamed after this happened on the bbcs today program. This comment was made. Not to suppressive completely also because most people the vast majority to build up some degree of herd immunity as well so that people are immune to that disease and we reduce transmission at the same time, protect those who are most vulnerable from it. That is the governments chief Economic Advisor speaking in march before the country went into lockdown. He mentioned the concept of herd immunity where most of the population has been exposed to the virus so that the whole population buildup Natural Immunity to it. That suggested allowing the virus to spread may have been a deliberate policy. Emails released to the bbc shows the alarm among the top advisers at the words used in that interview. In one email, sir patrick said herd immunity is not the strategy, the goal is to flatten the curve. We will see immunity in the community grow. The government has always denied that herd immunity was a policy. In another email, sir patricks frustration was clear. No, it is not the plan, he told the neck adamic. Anything you can do to calm our academic friends down over herd immunity would be much appriated. There have been huge question as to whether here to immunity was indeed as to whether herd immunity was indeed a policy or not. Government always insisted it was not a policy, but you heard that clip on sir patrick. That interview and a number of other interviews give a lot of people the impression that herd immunity was indeed the strategy that was being pursued. These emails obtaid through the freedom of information request raised alarm amongst the senimost advisors to the britishovernment over coronavirus. The backlash to the words used in those interviews and the references to herd immunity, as you say one of e emails asked a colleague for help calming down academics who had publicly been critical of the governments policies. I should say that the government has said that these emails substantiate their position because the emails are consistent. Pushing back and denying allegations that they a following this herd immunity strategy, but this controversy is not going to go away. It is like to go be a major part of Public Inquiry that takes place. Scientists do not agree on how many people need to be protected from the coronavirus before herd immunity is achieved. Whatever the percentage is could be the accommodation and how many people have the virus and have built up antibodies, and those who have a vaccine if that is indeed available. On all of this, heres our reporter once again. Some of the population have been infected as we measure antibodies. 8 may have been infected and have antibodies it means the vast majority of us are not protected in any way and are susceptible to this disease. Ere may be other forms of protection that increase that number a little bit. Other parts of the immune system, but it does mean that the vast majority of the population remains susceptible and therefore, you would expe spread throughout them. That is not anywhere close to a level where she herd immunity would happen. One approach is letting the virus spread, but that risk serious consequences. Heres a tweet from a harvard professor of epidemiology saying, unmitigated transmission leads to rapid increases of infections that can Damage Health care, leading to unnecessary deaths. Herd immunity is attained at the peak of an unmitigated epidemic curve. You have unnecessary infections on the way down, including deaths. This is for others that might need to Access Health care. In the u. K. , the government is continuing to try to suppress this virus until a vaccine is available. Some scientists have backed that approach. Others would like to see the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson going further with a targeted approach to protect the vulnerable. Hereone speaking on esday. Letting the virus take its course through the less vulnerable parts of the communication is a communitarian position. We are approaching it from that point of view. We are not saying that this is curving liberties, we are saying what is the best thing we can do overall for the welfare of the population as a whole . Not just to protect those or vulnerable to covid, but also the poor, the young. Sweeting other sweden cap restaurants, shops, schools open. Social distancing guidelines were voluntary. The rationale was not was suffering could be created by closing down complete the and these lockdowns are difficult to maintain in the long term. Here is a professor at bio complexity in denmark assessing what they did. It is here. I dont think that does not mean that sweden has herd immunity. They have the same fraternity per capita as great room. They have a way of behaving that makes it somehow sustainable what they are doing. They are basically stable now. Sweden did the right thing. In the beginning, they should have done their lockdown earlier. Reduction in big gatherings 14 days earlier. That is where they have lets look at the consequences of sweetings polies. The death toll is over five times higher than norway and for them. And finland. Let us see from swedens chief of epidemiology. This continues to surprise us different ways. You haveo be prepared for what can happen. Even so, this comes down rapid with us introducing new measures, keeping on what we have been doing the whole time. That is given us some confidence. The winter is still to come. There are some signs and recent data that the infection rate is beginning to rise. It will be a long time before we know if swedens approach can be said to have more effective than others. I want to bring you an update on this mass whale stranding in australia we have been covering for thweek. 400 of these whales have died after being reached on the west coast of tasmania. They were discovered this week you can see it mapped on the map marked on the map. You can see hundreds of dead pilot whales here. One of the whales would have led the pot into shallow waters, and got stuck. A further 200 dead whales were found a day later. 50 have been saved. 30 are still stranded. Rescuers are trying to use sling to pull them slings to pull them off the sandbanks. That is slow, hard work. They are seven meters long, nearly returns and weight. One local involved nearly 3 tons in weight. They are quite strg. Theres is a danger of dealing with them. There is a danger of dealing with them. It is going quite well. It is a hard one. They are calling out to the ones it is tracking them back. With hundreds of them there, there must be a lot of communication going on under water. The surviving whales will be exhausted and. Lets care from and marine biologist. It is likely some of them will pass away overnight, but we are hope some will remain alive. The next stage is if they are in poor condition, euthanasia might be the most humane way of helping these animals that remain in a poor state. We think this is australias biggest whale stranding. We still do not understand the reason these events have happened. There are a number of theories as to why they might, possibly strand. A couple could be misadventure exploring a certain area. Complex coastlines on the tasmanias west coast. They may have feeding and led astray. Others could include individuals that led the population or the pod, rather, into a situation that was not ideal. Another thing could you that maybe they were startled by acoustic noise. We simply do not know. That ends this new source. We will be back with you tomorrow. Byebye.
