I dont know if you could hear some of the broadcaster there but we were hearing deep Emotion, many dare not believe there would be a guilty verdict in the trial. Thejury came out guilty verdict in the trial. The jury came out with its conclusion fairly quickly. Talk through why they could do that. Well, the Prosecutions Case was very compelling and they laid it out for them, chapter and verse, as to what was going on during this time and really did a deep dive into the nine minutes and 29 seconds and they were the last nine minutes and 29 seconds of George Floyds life. During last arguments they went back and reviewed and defence tried to put up reasonable Doubt Thatjerry Reasonable Doubt that jerry blackwell, reasonable Doubt Thatjerry blackwell, one of the prosecuting attorneys came back and closed those doors very admirably.

This case has opened up, has changed force . This case has opened up, has changed Police Force . This case has opened up, has changed police leadership, i has changed police leadership, in my opinion, for ever. You have a Chief Of Police who has come and testified against one of his subordinates in violation of procedure. You have a senior officer, lieutenant who On Board and testified about the violation of policy and procedure. You had another lieutenancy in training who came out and testified in violation of policy and procedure. Then you had Derek Chauvins immediate supervisor who came and testified, stating why his actions were a violation of policy and procedure. And that he had focused on training he said they did not train that. And what you saw on television Around The World was at something that you trained. The Bottom Line is that leadership has changed and achieves have got to come from behind their desks, come from behind in front of the cameras and do the thing and lead. And what you saw from the Minneapolis Police department is an active true leadership in that the chief told it the Way it was, and it resonated with the jury, along with other members of The Departments testimony.

The culture is something that reform is going to have to try to embrace. You have to try to bring the right people on with the proper core values as we say in america. You have got individuals who have to have compassion for the sanctity of life.

When George Floyd died, it wasntjust america that erupted. From auckland to iceland, from brazil to belgium, the reaction was global. Why should a single mans face and his dying words appear on the bombed out wreckage of a home in syria . Chant I Cant breathe, I Cant breathe George Floyd all chant ,. , the virus im referring to is called racism. For many, it was about the police. In france, protesters recalled the death of Adama Traore four years earlier, a black man dying in police custody. IN New zealand, maoris talked of structural racism. And in brazil, Police Violence mostly against black people brought thousands onto the streets. Black lives matter, a phrase and a movement with its roots in america, now swept across more than 60 countries.

The kind of weather where strong Spring Sunshine can make it feel quite warm by day but, at night, Clear Skies can still allow it to get cold and frosty. But it will remain mostly dry through the rest of the week. Now, on the earlier satellite image, you can see this stripe of cloud here. This is a weakening weather front, not much rain left on it, but certainly more in the Way of cloud as this sinks down across england and wales through the first part of wednesday. Also some mist and murk, and low Cloud Lapping onto some southern coasts of england. So a bit of a grey start for parts of england and wales, even with the odd spot of rain, but it will brighten up with some sunny spells into the afternoon. Scotland and Northern Ireland having a sunny but chilly start, and keeping hold of some sunshine through the day. Just more in the Way of cloud, and maybe the odd shower getting into shetland. Quite a breezy day for many. And where youre exposed to that breeze along the east coast, temperatures may only get to 8 10 celsius. Highest temperatures likely to be across the far southwest at 16 17 celsius, but here, there could just be the odd afternoon shower. Any showers will fade through the evening, and through the night into the early hours of thursday, you can see long, clear spells across the country. Where you see the blue colours on the map, thats where were expecting temperatures below freezing, but quite widely therell be A Touch Of Frost to take us into thursday morning. But for the end of the week, High Pressure really will assert its Influence Right on top of the british isles. Butjust around the southern flank of that high, we will have some quite brisk winds blowing across the channel islands, the south west of england, also affecting some other southern and eastern coasts. But as you can see, largely cloud free skies to start thursday. I think well see a bit of patchy cloud bubbling up through the day, but generally speaking, quite a lot of sunshine. Highest temperatures in the west at 15,16, maybe 17 celsius, but for eastern and also southern coasts, actually, particularly where we have that breeze in the south, its going to feel on the chilly side. Still quite windy down towards the south and the southwest on friday. A bit of cloud across scotland maybe squeezing out the odd spot of rain, but elsewhere its dry, long spells of sunshine, and a bit warmer by this stage 17 maybe 18 degrees in some western areas. And, as we head into the weekend, it stays largely dry, more of that strong sunshine by day, but still the chance of some frosty nights.
