The use of force is not attractive, but it is a necessary component of policing. Outside the courtroom, protesters called for justice, as emotions in the city and around the nation run high. Also in the programme. Urging caution for a country longing forfreedom. Borisjohnson says people must remain vigilent, even as covid restrictions ease across england. And, dislodged at last and on its way. The Container Ship the ever given has been refloated in the suez canal after a massive logistical effort. Hello. Im katty kay in washington. Christian fraser is in london. It has been a detailed, emotional first day in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Police Officer accused of killing george floyd. This morning prosecutors opened their case with Video Footage which showed mr Chauvin Kneeling on mr floyds neck as he gasped and struggled to breathe. When the video was first posted online last year it was viewed over a billion times, which has spurred a national and International Conversation on policing and Police Brutality. Of the four Police Officers standing trial, mr chauvin is the only one facing the most serious charge of Second Degree murder. It carries a sentence of up to a0 years in prison. Mr chauvin has pleaded not guily. Opening the case, prosecutor Jerry Blackwell told jurors the most important number theyll hear in the trial is 9 minutes 29 seconds thats the length of time mr chauvin kneeled on george floyd neck. Notable that in Jury Selection some said they had not watched that video in full. So some of them would have been watching it today for the first time. A warning that this footage is distressing. He cannot breathe get over here. People shout. Back off look at him hes not responsive right now. Hes not responsive right now, bro. Look at him hes not responsive right now, bro check for a pulse it is very difficult to watch. Eric nelson the lawyer defending mr chauvin argued that the primary cause of George Floyds death was a heart condition. The evidence will show that mr floyd died of a cardiac address, a vest that occurred due to hypertension, drugs flowing through his body and the adrenaline flowing through his body, all of which acted to further compromise his heart. Given the covid restrictions that are in place in the courtroom only one member of the floyd family will be allowed into the trial at any one time. His sister bridgette took the place in court today for the Opening Statements. But outside, before the case began, the family together with Civil Rights Activist Rev Al Sharpton staged their own protest, taking a knee for almost 9 minutes, to demonstrate to everyone what a length of time that is to be kneeling on someone� s neck. Our correspondent Larry Madowojoins us now from Hennepin County courthouse In Minneapolis. A lot of thought might focus, today, larry, what is happening inside the courtroom attentions the tensions are running very high In Minneapolis at the moment. Are running very high In Minneapolis at the moment. Absolutely. The city is on ed. E at the moment. Absolutely. The city is on edge awaiting at the moment. Absolutely. The city is on edge awaiting what at the moment. Absolutely. The city is on edge awaiting what is is on edge awaiting what is expecting to be a long and emotional file and the first they promised that he is expected to divide the city between those who do not expect to see justice from this process and those who think it may provide some semblance of closure and justice. I will be speaking to the some from the community who think that the fact that Derek Chauvin� s defences focusing on his previous drug abuse and Underlying Health problems they feel that they are putting George Floyd On Trial and they are trying to smear a man who was killed on the video and the protesters will be gathering here again in about two hours to try and demand justice for the car behind us. Hours to try and demand ustice for the car behind uh the car behind us. Larry, this is the car behind us. Larry, this is the first day the car behind us. Larry, this is the first day of the car behind us. Larry, this is the first day of the the car behind us. Larry, this is the first day of the actual the car behind us. Larry, this is the first day of the actual triali the first day of the actual trial but in some ways the kind ofjury Selection Process is being described as the trial before the trial and getting a jury in place that can view this trial objectively has been very difficult, given how much exposure there has been of the killing of george floyd. Is there a sense that they have found a jury of peers who can give an objective verdict once theyve heard all of the evidence . 50. Verdict once theyve heard all of the evidence . Verdict once theyve heard all of the evidence . So, the interesting thin. The evidence . So, the interesting thing about the evidence . So, the interesting thing about this the evidence . So, the interesting thing about this jury the evidence . So, the interesting thing about this jury is the evidence . So, the interesting thing about this jury is that the evidence . So, the interesting thing about this jury is that it the evidence . So, the interesting thing about this jury is that it is l thing about this jury is that it is actually more diverse than the county where we are all minneapolis but the questioning of the jurors provided to some idea of how this actual case will play out, you are correct about that, because even though the defence would not like this case to the about face the question said jurors were all about race, what are your thoughts on the phone the police, what i your thoughts on black lives matter, what are the dearest thing about the 27 million settlement that the city arrived at with the family, and so that provided an indication as to how the case itself will go and so today in the Opening Statements for the prosecution and the defence it was a continuation of that direction. Was a continuation of that direction was a continuation of that direction. , direction. Yet, it is interesting they were direction. Yet, it is interesting they were asked direction. Yet, it is interesting they were asked about direction. Yet, it is interesting they were asked about all direction. Yet, it is interesting| they were asked about all that, larry, because of course there is an International Conversation going on about all that and about policing and the weight is done and Police Brutality but i thought it was interesting that the prosecution the Defence Attorneys opened up today when he addressed the jury saying listen, ignoble the noise, this is only about former officer Derek Chauvin. Less is taken listen. Let us take a listen. This case is about mr Derek Chauvin and not about any of those men and women and its not about all policing at all. The evidence that you will see in this case during this trial, it is. I agree with counsel for the state. It is nothing more than that. There is no political or social cause in this courtroom. But i look at those fences behind you then the security around the courthouse, larry, and it must be plainly obvious to the jury what high stakes are involved here and what might happen when they finally deliver a verdict. Deliver a verdict. Absolutely. The fact that this deliver a verdict. Absolutely. The fact that this entire deliver a verdict. Absolutely. The fact that this entire area deliver a verdict. Absolutely. The fact that this entire area is fact that this entire area is boarded up, the courthouse is not open to access to the public and there were protests here, George Floyd Square which is ground zero for where the whole case began speaks to the Public Interest in this and the prosecution was to make this and the prosecution was to make this about specifically Derek Chauvin not following department policy, that his conduct was not in line with what his bosses actually will testify that he did follow procedure, and yet, what the defence has been staying in his Opening Statements today is that he did exactly what he was trained to do, he was a 19 year veteran of the Minneapolis Police department and he followed that procedure and this is exactly what is going to happen and thatis exactly what is going to happen and that is why because of that the kneeling on George Floyds neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds which is where prosecution was to focus the attention of the jury and of the nation. ,.

That was coming to show what he typically cement. That was coming to show what he typically does even when he is dealing he typically does even when he is dealing with people who are no longer dealing with people who are no longer restricting. There is another incident longer restricting. There is another incident coming in. The judge has been incident coming in. The judge has been very incident coming in. The judge has been very careful to restrict any Fire Behaviour by george floyd. He is not Fire Behaviour by george floyd. He is not allowing in any other interactions with police except for one and interactions with police except for one and that was an incident that happened one and that was an incident that happened here in the life here In Minneapolis happened here in the life here In Minneapolis in 2019. It is only one part of minneapolis in 2019. It is only one part of it minneapolis in 2019. It is only one part of it In Minneapolis in 2019. It is only one part of it in a state wanted much milder part of it in a state wanted much milder incident to come in because they wanted to say that george floyd was making it up that he was claustrophobic, that he was faking that, claustrophobic, that he was faking that, but claustrophobic, that he was faking that, but all that the judge is going that, but all that the judge is going to that, but all that the judge is going to allowing is that people each going to allowing is that people each approached george floyd at gunpoint each approached george floyd at gunpoint and that a the police approached george floyd at gunpoint and that approached george floyd at gunpoint and that a approached george floyd at gunpoint and that a paramedic came to administer medical care to George Floyd Administer Medical Care to george floyd Who Administer Medical Care to george floyd who acknowledged he had ingested some drugs.

So, paramedic took his blood pressure. So. That paramedic took his blood pressure. So. That is paramedic took his blood pressure. So, that is the only thing coming in about so, that is the only thing coming in about George Floyds fires. The judge about George Floyds fires. The judge is about George Floyds fires. The judge is also not allowing the Defence Judge is also not allowing the defence to guess or make any inference defence to guess or make any inference about George Floyds motivation for what he was saying.

It is only day one but we have had the Opening Statements which are important moments in a trial like this. When you heard the prosecution and then you heard the defence, in your assessment, and then you heard the defence, in yourassessment, did and then you heard the defence, in your assessment, did one side to make a stronger case than the other or did one side before more effectively than the other, just in those Opening Statements .

In fact, they started out with a picture of they started out with a picture of the Minneapolis Police Department Badge the Minneapolis Police Department Badge and the local business protect and serve badge and the local business protect and serve. They started out with a picture and serve.

George floyd was in their custody and so he was in floyd was in their custody and so he was in their floyd was in their custody and so he was in their care. They also had a very was in their care. They also had a very effective timeline where they had the very effective timeline where they had the time is and what george floyd had the time is and what george floyd was had the time is and what george floyd was saying and pictures of both of floyd was saying and pictures of both of them and out so i think they did quite both of them and out so i think they did quite an both of them and out so i think they did quite an effective job this morning did quite an effective job this morning in their opening. I was a little morning in their opening. I was a little surprise that the defence, normally, little surprise that the defence, normally, when you hear an Opening Statement normally, when you hear an Opening Statement which is pretty emotional, because statement which is pretty emotional, because they also played the video, and at because they also played the video, and at least one of the jurors had never and at least one of the jurors had never seen and at least one of the jurors had never seen the video, but the video is extremely compelling and very emotional and as the defence, you have to emotional and as the defence, you have tojump in there and you have to Tell Have Tojump in there and you have to tell your have tojump in there and you have to tell your narrative of what happened here so that the jury can look at happened here so that the jury can look at it happened here so that the jury can look at it from that lens as well, andm look at it from that lens as well, andm | look at it from that lens as well, and. ~. ,. , , and.

I think the video, i was ust going to say mary, i think the h going to say mary, i think the video, we are all fascinated actually about how each case puts their side because we dont often see a court case like this in photo live on television but i thought as an Observer Video is a big problem because you hear offers a line saying i think he is passing out, you hear George Floyds voice getting shallower and the other major problem, it strikes me, for the defence, is that this man was in handcuffs, and from what i understand from the prosecution, you are allowed to use reasonable for so long as you are trying to subdue someone. He is already in handcuffs yes, and the prosecution also said that we yes, and the prosecution also said that we would behaving the testimony of the that we would behaving the testimony of the chief of police who will testify of the chief of police who will testify that this was excessive use of force. Testify that this was excessive use of force, but children wasnt thing to do of force, but children wasnt thing to do this of force, but children wasnt thing to do this and it wasnt part of the policy to do this and it wasnt part of the policy so to do this and it wasnt part of the policy so that is going to be very compelling evidence.

The session is currently in recess, they have gone for a short break in the court room so you are not missing anything and of course we will take you back to life as and when it resumes but lessons look at some of the days of the news. Let also look at some of the days the news. The giant ship blocking the suez canal for nearly week has been dislodged by a salvage crew which had to dredge 30,000 cubic metres of sand in order to refloat the 400 metre long ever given vessel. The vessels manager says it will now be directed to the Great Bitter Lake where it can undergo a full inspection for any damage so far there have been no reports of pollution or cargo damage. A ship running aground doesnt normally dominate headlines for a full week but the suez canal isnt any waterway. Its the quickest link between europe and asia and the blockage cost the Global Economy an estimated 400 million for every hour it was in place. No wonder they had 13 tug boats working to pull it out. French timber, ikea furniture, barrels of oil, and tea are among the cargo items which were held up by the crisis. Bbc arabic� s Sally Nabiljoins us now from suez in egypt. I would think there is a collective sigh of relief in egypt this evening, sally . Sigh of relief in egypt this evening, sally . Sigh of relief in egypt this evenini, sall . ,. , evening, sally .

There is a sense of achievement. Everybody feels proud at the moment vance navigation is backin at the moment vance navigation is back in the suez canal according to the head of the Suez Canal Authority who just held a Press Conference he said that ships started crossing the canal already and priority has been given to ships that have livestock on board. He, there is a huge congestion here. Hundreds of ships are stranded waiting to continue theirjourney and are stranded waiting to continue their journey and the are stranded waiting to continue theirjourney and the head of the Canal Authority said that he expects this congestion to be cleared within three days and he said that they will be working around the clock to try and clear this trafficjam as soon as possible. The authorities here felt a lot of pressure due to the blockage of the suez canal because they know perfectly well how it can impact Global Economy and it already did because oil prices, for example, have risen as a result of the suspension of navigation, concerns were rising that there will be extensive delays in shipment so, at the moment, ships have already started crossing the waterway and we know that the ever given is undergoing Safety Checks at the moment. It is being inspected by experts to assess the situation and see if any damage has been caused to the body of the skip and after that it might be free to go. I the body of the skip and after that it might be free to go. It might be free to go. I mean, sall , it might be free to go. I mean, sally, obviously, it might be free to go.

I mean, sally, obviously, today a great day and those pictures of it finally being free and starting to move off were remarkable pictures, but how convinced are people there that there is going to be an honest, fill there is going to be an honest, fill the investigation into how this happened and measures taken to make sure that it doesnt happen again . Thatss The Big Question at the moment, because incidents of this sort, according to officials here, happen due to a number of reasons, and notjust due to bad weather, as was said in official statements at the very beginning. The head of the Canal Authority said that this incident was pretty complex, there might be human and technical errors, and all that will be further looked into chirping the investigation, but how transparent the investigation will be, thats The Big Question that nobody can answer at the moment. Further look into during the investigation. I asked him about if he is worried that traders and shippers may be discouraged and refrain from sending such large vessels to the canal in the future and he said that the canal provides the safest and the shortest route for many ships around the world and he doesnt think that any alternative route can compete with it. He didnt specify exact measures that might prevent similar accidents or incidents to happen in the future but he said that we are trying to do the best we can and we are trying to reassure the world that we are taking all the necessary measures to avoid such incidents in the future. 0k. Avoid such incidents in the future. Ok. Sally nabeel therefore was at the suez canal. Somewhere there is a. I didnt want to interrupt what she was saying because it was very interesting what mary was saying earlier but the cat of parents did not escape as earlier. I was listening to sally and thinking there was a skipper who has gone all the way around the Cape Of Good Hope and probably set of yesterday thinking i will show them and go the other way and suddenly it has been uncorked. It is like coming off the motorwayjunction early has been uncorked. It is like coming off the Motorway Junction early and then finding out that actually the traffic jam freed then finding out that actually the trafficjam freed up later on. Sods law. You cant win when you are in a tank in the suez canal is the most of all of this. For those of us watching on Bbc World News Christian that and i will be right back. In england, the public are being here in the england the public have been enjoying their first day of freedom after the governments stay at home order came to an end. It means people can now meet in groups of six outdoors its a major step in the governments road to freedom. New cases have been decreasing steadily since peaking in january this year. At a Press Conference the Prime Minister borisjohnson said today was a day for cautious optimism. More than anything, i know how much it will have meant to millions of people to have joined someone else for a cup of tea in the garden, and i must stress that its only because of months of sacrifice and effort that we can take this small step towards freedom today, and we must proceed with caution. Lets bring in our political correspondentjonathan blake. Jonathan, look, it is really interesting because here in the us we have had a Top Public Health official today saying that she is incredibly alarmed that the country is opening up too early. You have had biden saying the same thing today and that they are worried that there could be another search coming.

You heard the Prime Minister say there proceed with caution, urging people to enjoy their long forgotten freedoms, simple things like meeting up freedoms, simple things like meeting up with friends on a park or playing spot with your friends in the evening or getting married with some guests present, all things that people in england can now do as of today and yet this wasnt heralded as a big step forward to feeding by the fai minister, it was seen as an incremental move on englands boot out of lockdown. Big Step Forward To Freedom by the Prime Minister. Each caveat and due reminders from the government to people to keep observing the rules that are still in place and do these things with a degree of caution, observing social distancing measures which still are part of the guidelines in place. Here in england and the Prime Minister talked about the uncertainty there is around that second, the third wave which is now present in europe, cases rising in many countries on the continent, and the inevitability which he said there was that that will at some point come into play here in england and pogba, probably in the uk more broadly so, yes, there is optimism but it is also with caution.

There is concern is the vaccine roll out continues, which has been, broadly speaking, very successful here in the uk is more than 30 million adults, have the aduu than 30 million adults, have the Adult Population have had their firstjob so far but it is of course the Younger Generation and younger people who havent yet had their vaccine who could be catching and spreading the virus, sometimes asymptomatically, putting those older people at this, even those who have had the vaccine because we were reminded today while it is very good, it is not 100 of active and there are some people, of course, if you havent had it so there are gaps there which the virus may well take advantage of and we were reminded of that, particularly by the Chief Medical Officer chip comic this witty today.

Temperatures reached highs around the 20 celsius mark across some southern and eastern parts of england with plenty of sunshine here, and its going to stay warm for the next couple of days, particularly for england and wales. But it stays very wet for the northwest of scotland thanks to a persistent Weather Front. Then its all change towards the end of the week, where we open the floodgates to some arctic air. Itll turn colder both by day and by night with overnight frost and increasing the chance of one or two showers as we head on into the easter weekend. This is the Pressure Chart for the rest of today. That Weather Front will continue to bring some very wet weather to the northwest of scotland. Some stronger winds here as well and generally, more cloud around during the overnight period for scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of england. Further south, though, clearer skies, slightly lighter winds, so its going to turn quite chilly. A touch of frost maybe in one or two sheltered spots. A little bit of mist around further north, where we have more of the breeze and the rain in double figure values for most here. So, for tuesday, its a bit of a repeat performance. Chilly start for england and wales, lots of sunshine through the day, temperatures will soar into the afternoon. Could see a bit of sunshine in southern and eastern scotland, perhaps Northern Ireland, but very wet the risk of localised flooding for the northwest of scotland. Again, its going to be quite windy here. Now, temperatures might reach the high teens celsius across eastern scotland. Again, were looking at 22, maybe 23 degrees across southern and Eastern England, so very warm for the time of year. As we move out of tuesday into wednesday, subtle changes. That Weather Front in the northwest begins to migrate a little bit further southwards, so it could be that Northern Ireland will have a wetter, cloudier day on wednesday and quite a lot of cloud across much of scotland with the outbreaks of rain and also some wintriness to the high ground. As northerly wind starts to dig in, itll turn colder here. For england and wales, after a cool start, lots of sunshine. Its going to be very warm into the afternoon again the low 20s celsius. Compare that temperatures of Single Digits across northern scotland, highs of ten or i through the central belt. Our Weather Front weakens as it sinks southwards southwards. No more than a band of cloud, but it will be a Dividing Line with some colder air to the north as we move into thursday and friday. Then its very much cold air with us for the end of the week into the easter weekend. A significant Cold Plunge Move down from the arctic, and thatll bring in a mixture of wintry showers as well. So, its going to be a cold end to the week, certainly chilly as we head on to the easter weekend. Quite a bit of sunshine around, but increasing chance of wintry showers, too.

Youve been watching bbc news. Hello there. A huge contrast in temperatures expected this week. Were starting off very warm indeed, like early summer, particularly for wales with plenty of sunshine although really, it will be quite wet across the northwest of scotland for the next few days. But by the end of the week, its going to turn a lot colder. We open the floodgates to the arctic as we head on into the easter weekend. Thats going to bring colder days, colder nights with overnight frosts and increasing chance of wintry showers, particularly for the easter weekend. Now, for tuesday, we still got that Weather Front across the northwest corner of the uk. Thats bringing wet weather to northwest scotland. 0n the northern side of it, theres some cold air, but on the Southern Side of it, its very warm air and thats being ushered up by an area of High Pressure sitting over the near continent. So, for tuesday, we start off on a chilly note in england and wales, where therell be plenty of sunshine. Those temperatures will soar into the afternoon. A bit more cloud for scotland and Northern Ireland, and that wet weather continues for the northwest of scotland. Given some sunshine across southern and eastern scotland, we could see the high teens celsius. Its central, southern, Eastern England which will see values of around 22 or 23 degrees, so much warmer than we expect for this time of year. Now, through tuesday night, it stays very wet across much of scotland, particularly the north and west. Perhaps some rain getting into Northern Ireland as well. To the south of here, generally dry. Clear spells, lighter winds and a few chilly spots as well to begin wednesday. Now, some subtle changes into wednesday. We start to see that Weather Front wriggling a little bit further southwards, with that colder air starting to push down from the north. So, it could be that Northern Ireland sees a cloudier, wetter day through wednesday. A lot of cloud for scotland with outbreaks of rain turning increasingly wintry over the high ground as the cold air digs southwards. England and wales off to a cool start, another sunny and very warm one into the afternoon again, 20 23 degrees, but the signs of that colder air making inroads across the northern half of scotland. Single figure values here. Some subtle changes again as we head on into thursday. That Weather Front moves its way southwards through central areas, so i think well see a north south divide between temperatures. Certainly scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England will be chilly and mainly dry with some sunshine as that Weather Front will have weakened to no more than a band of cloud. But again, the last of the warmth, i think, for southern, southwestern england here, high teens celsius. Something a lot colder, though, for the north and the east of the country. As we move into friday, though, this area of High Pressure builds in, so it keeps things dry but allows this colder air to move down across the north sea into much of the northern and eastern portions of the uk, eventually reaching southern areas by the end of the day. So, a different feel to friday of course, thats good friday. Largely dry thanks to High Pressure, but itll be a lot cooler. Those temperatures single figures across southern and eastern areas, particularly close to the coast, the onshore breeze. Probably reaching highs of around 11 13 degrees in the southwest, giving some sunshine. 11 13 degrees in the southwest, northern and easts as we move into the easter weekend, then, for saturday, its mainly dry thanks to High Pressure. Some sunshine, variable cloud. Chilly start, mind you, with some frost around, but into the afternoon, we could see temperatures just making double figures for many. And then for the second half of the easter weekend, we see a more significant cold spell of weather spread right down from the arctic, and there will be some wintry showers as you can see there. These deeper blue colours move right across the uk through Easter Sunday into easter monday, so its going to feel a lot colder for part two of the easter weekend. So, cold for all areas by the end of the week with some frost. Dry to start for most for the easter weekend thanks to High Pressure, and theres an increasing chance of wintry showers, particularly in northern areas. Tonight at ten. Proceed with caution, says the Prime Minister, as englands lockdown starts to be lifted. Diving back in, as people are given more freedom to mix outside.
