life he says derek chauvin acted in a way that was against police training by kneeling on floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes alan fischer reports from the trial in minneapolis. an important cultural moment when a police chief took the stand to testify against one of his former officers but daughter out of don't do it said the alleged crime george floyd committed passing a fake $20.00 bill did not merit 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 preowned out 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 they're a 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 of floyd's cardiac arrest oxygen oxygen to. that was one of the more likely possibilities i felt that at the time based on the information i had it was. more likely than the other possibilities and doctors 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 leading to a 6 year it's expected the 7 will spend a lot of time considering expert medical testimony a part that may be key to the prosecution case alan fischer al-jazeera at the shore and trial in minneapolis debbie hynes is a legal analyst and former prosecutor from the city of baltimore she says the police she stressed money is a key moment in the child so far. 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 once d.n.a. and that was the unreasonable use of force in the midst of way 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 approved and there were a showing didn't even give believe 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 they're showing showed no regard for human life with respect to the arab show but most importantly we're seeing the officer the chief's q 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 now the world news jordan's royal course has prince hamza bin hussein has signed a letter pledging his allegiance to the king the

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 the the the the power structure of thought that if they could pin it on terms 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 the position was changed by the will of the king he accepted . and other wild news more than 1800 inmates have escaped after after prison in southern nigeria was attacked by an armed cold authorities say explosives were used to free the
