Thank god for what. Were coming out of what is. Out of them that we will need today. Michael brown. There. Are. Relatively little. That. I think out we will hear that. We would not pick you up close. Meanwhile in minneapolis former police off the derrick shove in has made his 1st Court Appearance hes facing charges of 2nd degree murder and bales been set of more than a 1000000. 00 and the name has been following the hearing. It was a quick preliminary hearing as they usually are chauvelin gave perfunctory answers when called on and the judge gave the prosecution everything they asked for the judge set bail at 1250000. 00 without any conditions but of show when can come up with 1000000 dollars he could get out on bail as long as he abides by the following conditions he does not leave the state of minnesota without permission he surrenders his gun and permits he does not have any contact with George Floyds family and he does not attempt to work in Law Enforcement or any kind of security job charges were upgraded last week once these Minnesota Attorney general took over the case the 2nd degree murder charge in the state of minnesota means that the prosecution would have to prove that provan killed george floyd intentionally or that he killed floyd while committing another felony it is predicted that the prosecution will take that latter strategy the attorney general has already said that this will be a difficult case to get a conviction on he is asking for the publics patience but of course protesters have 0 patience especially when lives are at stake in all democrats in the u. S. House of representatives have them sailed legislation to change the way Police Departments work before announcing the proposals some members melt 8 minutes and 46 seconds thats a long george floyd was pinned to the ground its a little pulses would make it easier to prosecute police for misconduct you know the president trumpeted back up calls to defund Police Departments following. Im very proud of them. There will be defining there wont be dismantling of our police and theyre not going to be any disbanding of our police our police have been letting us live in peace and we want to make sure we dont have any bad actors in there and sometimes youll see some horrible things like we witnessed recently but 99 i say 99. 9 but lets go with 99 percent of them are great great people and theyve done jobs that are record setting record setting north korea is threatening to cut off communication with south Korea State News Agency says closing the hotline will be the 1st step toward shutting down all contact its the latest in a series of threats in recent days young young want sold to stop defectors sending propaganda leaflets over the border but south koreas unification ministries urging them all to keep lines of communication open well robert kelly is a Professor National university he explains why this creates an awkward political position of the soul. So this is tricky for the south korean government because south korea is a democratic republic right south korea has sort of a right wing thats very anti communist as might imagine right particularly older koreans right the 2 koreas are sort of engaged in this kind of existential agenda mysie sort of contest you have sort of a hard right in south korea thats very into communist thats also very even jellicoe in christian and for these people north koreas a real opponent its sort of like you know this atheist leninist aggressor and things like that and you know regardless of which think about those opinions thats probably 20 percent of south korean opinion visa v. North korea and these people routinely use the proximity of north korea to release balloons and other things. Into the sky filled with a flash keys and imagery from south korea and magazines and things like this and pamphlets saying that north korea is this horribly governed place in conjunction with sort of this pampered desk but Everything Else the North Koreans have complained about this behavior for decades and the current south korean government really wants a rapprochement detente with north korea and so they have sort of moved against these groups but that raises all kinds of freedom of speech issues here in the south its very tricky south korean left doesnt really want this kind of confrontation in the blue launches and stuff like that right and these things sort of come in waves and the south korean and the north korean government often uses the south korean less interest in negotiations with north korea as a lever to get south to the south korean government to move against domestic opponents that is to say that north or from the south korean government to get the North Koreans to sit down at the table the North Koreans say we have to move against these groups and stop them from rasmussen Everything Else right and so this point like i said this puts the south korean less in an awkward position because if it doesnt move against these groups the North Koreans shut down detente if it does then the south korean government winds up in court and you have big fights about freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and stuff like that and so theres just no really Good Alternative here right the government is really sort of trapped and the North Koreans used this to sort of push concessions on south korean government.
