respecting the sanctity of life he says derek acted in a way that was against police training by kneeling on freud's neck for more than 9 minutes on the streets of minneapolis alan fischer reports from the trial. an important cultural moment when a police chief took the stand to testify against one of his former officers but data out of don't do it said the alleged crime george floyd committed passing a fake $20.00 bill did not met at the initial response of guns drawn on the force used to restrain him was unnecessary once there was no longer any resistance and clearly when mr floyd was no longer responsive and even motionless to continue to apply that level of force. to a person. handcuffed behind their back. that that is in no way shape or form is anything that. is by policy is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics our values the police chief also told the jury the officers on the scene that day in may last year i did obligation and the training to provide basic medical treatment to their prisoner we have a duty of care and so when someone is in our custody. regardless if their suspect we happy obligation to make sure that we provide for their care this was a significant moment critics have often complained about the so-called blue wall police officers refusing to give evidence against one another this was a mighty big crack in the wall chief out and gone to the man who fired dedication of in the day after george floyd died an important witness for the prosecution earlier the court heard from the doctor who pronounced george floyd dead dr broadfoot lagan felt tried for 30 minutes to revive him to save his life he said he believed what happened at the scene could have been responsible was your leading theory then for the cause

factors there are another name for death by oxygen deficiency. speaks commonly understood her under cross-examination the doctor agreed that the use of drugs might also cause significant problems

in minneapolis. debbie hynes is a legal analyst and a former prosecutor for the city of baltimore she says a police chase testimony is a key moment in the child's self are. so it was very interesting to have the police chief testify because of what was heard earlier it's very rare that a police chief will testify against officers in his own department and what he did was he actually bolstered what lieutenant zimmerman had testified to earlier not going to d.n.a. and that was the unreasonable use of force and mr floyd but i think that what the chief did is he painted the picture of what the police force should be about and that's what this case is about what should be done that would often happens and so he stated that the police officers they have a duty of care to the suspect that they are breath and that duty is to printer where aid is necessary so it was also a broken there were showing didn't even give believe in the least bit of concern and wanted and things i think the officer also did is that the cheap did scuse me as he talked about the sanctity of life and that's not important because that's what is in contrast to what we're saying that their children should know we guard for human life with respect to the arab show but most importantly in the officer the chiefs who thank you card and officer he is the chief of police for the minneapolis police department to say that there was clearly and reasonable use of words there's no other way to misusing the word that mr flint was not resisting arrest in any way shape or form and that he should not have been pinned down for the length of time that he was pinned down in other world news jordan's oil corps says prince hamza bin hussein has signed a letter pledging his allegiance to the king the government has accused the form a crown prince of trying to destabilize a country that i should go name before some on the 2 day royal drama began and apparently ended with the marginalized but popular prince hamza still at center stage on monday evening king abdullah dispatched his uncle to intervene. a short time later prince hamza signed a letter saying we must all stand behind the king in his efforts to protect jordan there was no mention of the investigation announced the day before the government had accused prince hamza of plotting with foreign entities to destabilize jordan while bassem of the surveillance incepted movements including communication with foreign sides on a so-called 0 hour to trigger measures i am that undermining else debility at the prince denied the allegations he said highlighting worries of government corruption and failed economic policies was the real reason he was warned to stay silent the turmoil within the royal ranks 1st came to light early sunday morning with a leaked video message recorded from inside prince hamza's palace he said he was under house arrest with no security detail and no internet on monday he released an audio recording saying the chief of staff was threatening him and telling him to keep quiet. i am not going to escalate but i will not by myself by their warders to stay at home not to use my tweets or to be in contacts with people and not to see my family but have been told by the chief of staff is not acceptable under any circumstances print sounds as audio recording was shared widely on social media many jordanians are feeling angry and frustrated over the deteriorating economy last month there were protests and dozens were arrested but dissent within the royal family revealed in real time was a new phenomenon but does it give me any. i was surprised as everyone else with this disturbing university the news really cool spying to every one of them we wish the prosperity and progress the joy and for the issues to be resolved as the king called fall within the royal family. the dispute among royal half brothers may have ended at least for now but concerns about a deepening divide and jordanians economic plight won't be resolved so swiftly the talks are going to al-jazeera. and yeah i spoke to rami khouri who was a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school and he believes friends has never been a threat to jordan's king. i don't think there was a very deep rift at all there was some tension because hum's a has been for years. talking about bad governance corruption so across the whole region not just only in jordan and several times i met him and he talked about this and this was part of his character is a very forthright honest. principled young man who is 41 there is still pretty young and this is what he feels is the right thing to do it feels this is what his father would have wanted him to do to speak out when there is injustice when this poverty when there is corruption when there's growing inequality and that was something that something that the government the rural callous the intelligence agencies of those in the power structure don't want to see happening all across the country there is widespread discontent and suffering economically in jordan the people are speaking out more they're blaming the killing often of the royal family they're talking of corruption this are new things in jordan and i think they really what happened was that the the the power structure thought that if they could pin it on times that it was scare everybody else but i don't think it's worked he's not a surprise at all he doesn't see himself as an alternative to the king he's not trying to become king he accepts just as crown prince has done before him accepted when the crown prince of position was changed by the will of the king he accepted. his rails prime minister says prosecutors in his corruption trial are attempting a cool trial resumed on monday with prosecutors accusing

strong prime minister from the right this is what a coup attempt looks like it's not random that the prosecution presented the evidence stage only one month before the 1st elections not by chance that
