On our toes as aljazeera live from london also coming up china warns the u. K. To back off as britain talks of offering citizenship to millions of hong kong residents. And about turn from swedens top epidemiologists good myths the country should have done more to curb coronavirus. And taking it to the streets we look at one mans mission to increase testing in the u. S. Communities hit hardest by the pandemic. And we begin in the u. S. State of minnesota where the attorney general is due to charge 3 other Police Officers involved in the death of george floyd according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune theyll be charged with aiding and abetting murder the white explain their children who pressed a need to floyds neck for more than 8 minutes will also have his charge elevated to 2nd degree murder ford son quincy has visited a makeshift shrine at the minneapolis Street Corner where the 46 year old died last week the death has sparked widespread on rest and protests across the United States and the world the problem is lawyer says he expects the remaining arrests to be made before Memorial Service on thursday. So we cannot help to just dismiss them in america that black america a word for word america. We must equal justice for their humanity said the mirror. And change is going to cool in the. George floors and i at the corner will. Then change stores to. A prison still taking place over george lords death across the United States a White House Correspondent committee how could a joins us live now committee so we expecting some of these challenges to come through in the meantime though what what options does the president have now when it comes to these protesters still going on well the White House Press secretary caylee back in may be speaking in just the last few months wrapping up her briefing saying that the u. S. President still has the insurrection tool in his toolbox if you will that he has the Sole Authority to send in the military to quiet the protesters and quell the violence and that has he promised in the rose garden he will use it now the u. S. President for his part was asked about some of this is he spoke on a conservative Radio Program this morning talking about the problem of the mistrust by the african camero American Community when it comes to policing he said it was a long term problem in other words he didnt have a sort Term Solution other than the military he also pushed back on the notion that his poll numbers are very low when it comes to africanamericans saying in fact just the opposite but the polls certainly dont reflect that and the u. S. President also said that when it comes to him hiding out in a bunker as he did on friday evening when the protests 1st started he said that he was there but only for a very brief period of time and only to inspect it and get ready to defend so trey has been speaking as well whats he been saying. Yes he has been speaking about the use of this tool of the insurrection act its not one that has been used very often in fact it goes back to 1807 and it really is considered the last resort in other words the president does not have the authority to inflict the military on states the states actually are controlled by governors not the president and they the president cannot use the military to enforce domestic policing in other words they have no arrest authority only for support the insurrection act is the exception but the defense secretary says that now is not the time to use it ive always believed and continue to believe that the National Guard is best suited for performing Domestic Support to civil authorities in these situations in support of local Law Enforcement i say this not only a searcher defense but also as a former soldier and a former member of the National Guard the option to use active duty forces in a Law Enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations we are not in one of those situations now i do not support invoking the insurrection act and well there are reports that federal forces including active duty military are returning to their bases but will remain on high alert there are federal forces still in the city of washington d. C. Which we should note does not have a governor and it is controlled by the federal government ultimately although there is an independent mayor we should also mention that the perimeter around the white house has been pushed back and so while there are peaceful protests taking place they are now far from the White House Committee how could thank you very much indeed. And i bring in john hendren whos in minneapolis for us and john expecting new challenges in this case said tell us what we know so far. But what we know is that the attorney general is scheduled a News Conference but the senator for minnesota u. S. Senator Amy Klobuchar shark has not waited for that she has spoken to the office of Keith Ellison the attorney general and she says the charge against eric shavon now 3rd degree murder will be elevated to 2nd degree murder and that is the difference between that is 3rd degree murder means. Extreme indifference to human life 2nd degree murder means an intentional killing but not premeditated and the penalty for that is up to 40 years in prison here in the state of minnesota but also theres something that this entire crowd has been calling for theyve been calling for all 4 of the officers arrested to be charged as well and senator globe a charge says the other 3 officers will be charged and according to research by the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper here they will be charged with aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder so those are very serious charges the crowd has been calling for flat out murder charges against all 4 of those officers but it really suggests that the prosecutors have gone a long way to trying to satisfy the concern in the streets that their investigation has been able to find reason to merit those charges and one reason for that is there was a private autopsy by the family so the official Hennepin County coroners ontology says that the officers contributed to the death of george floyd but it said he also had some Underlying Health conditions. And the familys autopsy went further than that it said that the cause of death was its fixation the direct cause of that its fiction nation was 3 officers kneeling on the back of george floyd not just the one with his knee on George Floyds neck but also the other 2 had their knees on his back in the. The coroners report said that compressed his lungs and made it unable for him to breathe so that all happened of course right here if you can see over there theyve now had to rope off the site where george floyd spent his last moments because so many people have come to pay their respects and of course the number 1. 00 thing they have been asking for is charges against all 4 officers and it appears that within hours we will have the official announcement but that is happening john hendren thank you very much indeed course bring you that announcement when it happens. And meantime in Central London tens of thousands of people have marched into show solidarity with the black lymes protests at the rally started in hyde park before one day its way to Parliament Square the protest spilled onto the street bringing traffic to a standstill but remained mostly peaceful many activists knelt outside westminster chanting no justice no peace no racist police star wars that to john boy it was moved to tears as he spoke to protest his. Buddies throughout the no breakaway i had somebody in every day that dont wait for suffering. Im not using the evil there is never a case of evil when its right the day we are physical representation of our good fortune. I said big was at the rally in london says protesters also drawing attention to racism in the u. K. Several 1000 people have turned up to shoulder support and solidarity for whats taking place in the United States but for people here its not just about was talking in the United States about its about the racial inequalities in the knocked it can go that people are more likely to be stopped and searched theres been a number of deaths and Police Custody of the people also the death of mark duggan who was shot and killed by police in 2011 back to riots protesters here have been saying that goes back to the same just no justice no peace the turned up at downing street which is the residence of the Prime Minister barak. But he understood the anger and grief but not only crossed the world and in the unprecedented Police Chiefs here said that they are told of the death of george floyd and also a justice of the United States also acknowledged that more needs to be done in this country to tackle racism. China is warning the u. K. That interfering in hong kongs affairs could backfire softer british Prime Minister said the u. K. Was ready to offer millions of people in hong kong a route to citizenship if a Controversial National security doors imposed china says foreign influence is a threat to the territories stability and prosperity where sentiments were echoed by hong kongs chief executive carol lam was in beijing to meet chinese officials i can only say that the International Community and some of the foreign governments have been adopting blatant double standards in dealing with this matter and commenting on this matter that is with the in the legitimate jurisdiction of any country to enacting laws to protect and safeguard National Security. Usa is no exception u. K. Is no exception so why should they object to resist for even condemn and take sanctions against hong kong and the peoples republic of china. Well the people who would have access to what johnson calls a route to citizenship are those with a b. N. Opar sport which stands for British National overseas the b. N. Is issued to people in hong kong when it was still a british colony before it was handed back to china in 1907 its a travel document but it doesnt automatically give holders british citizenship or allow them to live permanently or work in the u. K. Around 300000. 00 people hold the passport but nearly 2900000. 00 people in hong kong are eligible for it thats about 40 percent of the population paul brennan is in london with more. I think the issuing of this message by 1st of all of foreign secondly dominic robb and emphasized and reiterated by the Prime Minister himself Boris Johnson shows i think that the normal discrete lines of diplomacy seem the options seem to be narrowing china has pressed on with this National Security law despite opposition and the Foreign Service here in the u. K. Has grown increasingly concerned about that now what are they offering well 1st of all at the moment be a no passport holders thats 30350000 of them can come here for 6 months without needing a visa the offer now is for to be extended to 12 months and to have a right to work here in the u. K. And potentially have a pathway to citizenship and what Boris Johnson has gone even further than the foreign secretary is saying is that if hes gone to extended to those who are eligible to apply for that passports are not just the current passport holders but those eligible to apply and that number some 2 and a half 1000000 people in hong kong so you can see this is a really major shift in the governments stance and one that has drawn sharp criticism from china the British Government has gone ahead with it anyway so you can see there that tempers necessarily but hackles are right are rising on both sides still to come around. Food parcels help chileans stay safe indoors it could be americas outbreak be far worse than thought. And here after sudans violent crackdown justice continues.

On this tunnels apparent criticism of the swedish coronavirus strategy came as quite a surprise not least because the criticism was against himself as the state epidemiology 10 yelled at the swedish government the 1st 2 in its handling of the pandemic and its tenure at the Public Health agency whove made the recommendations rather than restrictions that have enabled sweden to avoid a lockdown now whats said on tuesday to swedish radio was that with the benefit of hindsight he might have done things differently at the start of the crisis and maybe taken a route that was somewhere between a lockdown and the more relaxed swedish strategy on wednesday quickly moved to say no thats not the case i still believe in the approach one of the things he mentioned and that sweden has recognised is that theyve failed to protect people in old peoples homes of the some 4500 people who have died in sweden around 4000. 00 have been over 70 and around half lived in old peoples accommodation now thats one of the things thats made the death toll so much higher than in swedens neighbors of no i denmark and fenlan
