So that allegations of genocide can be investigated. Israel must also, according to this provisional measures, order ensure that the rafah Border Crossing stays open to allow urgently needed humanitarian aid to be delivered at scale and must report back to this court, the International Court ofjustice here in the hague within one month on how these orders are being implemented. Israels Prime Minister has rejected allegations of genocide. We have more reaction from jerusalem. Even as the judge was reading up the latest ruling there were plumes of black smoke over rafah, suggesting the military Campaign Continues for the israeli troops are deployed very close to the city of rafah, we dont exactly know how far they intend to put into the city and when that will happen but the Israeli Government indicated it is still determined to finish the job and what it regards as one of the last hamas strongholds in the gaza strip. The israelis are saying they are doing this according to international law. The way they have conducted operations so far does not pose as south africa is arguing a threat to the well being of the civilian population in the gaza strip but by giving people noticed of israels military intentions, they have tried to keep its civilians out of harms way. That clearly did not wash with the judges at the icj who are essentially saying israel is not doing enough to keep civilians safe and that consequently Military Operation and rafah should come to an end. The white house is calling for the swift deployment of a kenyan led Multinational Force in haiti after a us couple was named among three missionaries killed in the caribbean nation. A Missouri State politician confirmed that his daughter and son in law, natalie and davy lloyd, were killed by gang members in the capital, port au prince. A Us National Security Council Spokesperson expressed condolences saying the Security Situation in haiti cannot wait. The spokesman said President Joe Biden pledged to support the Expedited Deployment of kenyas forces in talks with kenyas president on thursday. Kenyan president william ruto is in washington this week on a state visit and sat down with my colleague president william ruto, thanks Forjoining Us on bbc news. I want to start with an issue of close cooperation between kenya and the us, and that is the issue with haiti at the moment. You have agreed to send a Kenyan Police force to haiti, when will they arrive . I have a team in haiti as i speak to you, i spoke to them this morning, they are finishing a mission tomorrow, that will give us a frame of what things look like on the ground, the capabilities that are available, the infrastructure that has been set up and once we have that assessment that we agreed with the Haitian Police and the haitian leadership, we are looking at the horizon of between three weeks and theyre about for us to be ready to deploy once everything on the ground is set. What is the situation on the ground like in terms of those preparations . Us officials were helping prepare base for example. I think the base that was being prepared is, i think i was given, maybe 70 complete. My team met with their transitional president ial counsel yesterday, they also met with the leadership of the police the day before. I think they are meeting with other groups, just to make sure that we have all the, all the items in place for us to facilitate the deployment because there are many actors, you know, we are working on a Un Resolution that they give kenya the mandate to lead and we are going to be working with others who will be contributing different capabilities to facilitate this because we are doing it for the people of haiti. You had hoped to have your Police Officers there this week, though. A draft of three weeks is quite a delay. I think there was an expectation, it was not our hope. It was an expectation. We have been ready to deploy in haiti but that readiness means everything being in place. The reason why the right time is going to be in three weeks� time is because all of the other items need to be there equipment, transport, communication, infrastructure on where to stay, what to do with the Haitian Police, proper connection with the partnership with the Haitian Police, you know very well that there was a transition of leadership that took a bit of time. We now have a transitional president ial counsel that is now seized of this matter and therefore i think all that was needed before this could be put together. And i think we have all the items now aligned and thats why i am thinking of the horizon of three weeks, there are about, maybe to a month. In the meantime there is a Date Ofjune 2 thats been set by the high court, your Opposition Party has raised concerns about the legality of the deployment and there is a date they will hear questions on that, are you satisfied that the deployment is legal . That deployment meets every requirement of the law and the constitution of kenya. In fact i think weve through long beyond the requirements of the law, it was sanctioned by the cabinet, it was sanctioned by both houses of parliament, the senate and the national assembly, the court proclaimed itself on how it should be done, the requirements of the court has been made, the court wanted an agreement between the government of kenya and the government in haiti, that was signed and i witnessed it myself, between the Prime Minister, between the minister for security at that time and myself and the Prime Minister in haiti witnessed that agreement, and the same agreement has been adopted and ratified by the transitional president ial counsel. All the legal instruments are in place, kenya is a robustly democratic country. Court processes, people going to court are part of system. That agreement though, was signed with ariel henri, will they honour that agreement he signed . I have received an agreement in writing, i would not deploy unless that happened, i made it a requirement that the transitional president ial counsel that came into office recently must endorse the agreement that had been signed by the government that was, just to make sure that we are on the same side, and i can confirm to you that i have received their concurrence, in writing, and i have done the necessary constitutional requirements in kenya to make sure that this deployment is in compliance with the law and kenya and also in compliance with the Un Resolutions. We have more on that interview on bbc news. The black 46 year old was killed by a White Minneapolis Police officer that kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes while ignoring his cries. Video of the incident went viral around the world spike in the largest Racial Justice protests in the us since the civil rights movement. We will show you a brief moment and a warning, it might be disturbing for some viewers. I might be disturbing for some viewers. U, � might be disturbing for some viewers. � ,. Viewers. I cant breathe x please that moment led to protests and a global reckoning with racism, and issue the world continues to grapple with. Thejustice and policing act was originally introduced in 2021 and then passed the democratically controlled house but was deadlocked in the senate surrounding the language that could have officers face expanded accountability. The democrats have not mentioned the Act To Create Federal Police reform. Police reform. This is Something Police reform. This is something that police reform. This is something that is police reform. This is something that is a l police reform. This is something that is a priority, demanded and if you want to wait until Something Like that hits your front door wait until Something Like that Hits Yourfront Door and wait until Something Like that hits your front door and want to be productive, you have to have a problem.

President joe biden issued a Statement Biden issued a Statement Saying President Biden also said he had signed an Executive Order to implement aspects of the George Floyd Justice and policing act. If that legislation makes it through congress this time it would address issues ranging from Policing Practices to accountability and Law Enforcement for theft past it would lower the Criminal Intent Standards to convicted Police Officer of misconduct. And would limit qualified immunity as a defence to liability and limit the unnecessary use of force and restrict the use of no Knock Warrants and chokehold � s. Joining me live is congresswoman Sheila Jackson lee who reintroduced the legislation this week. Thank you Forjoining Us. Before we talk about that act, you spent the day with george floyd � s family, how are they as the fourth anniversary approaches . 0ne fourth anniversary approaches . One can imagine to live with the inhumane action of your brother being murdered on the streets of america and to be reminded of that every single day for four years and people are not doing anything about this brittle and inconspicuous murder. That is portable they are feeling and secondarily they have resolved, they are resilient. They want to make sure that we have a bill that becomes Law Of The Land and the Law Of The Land is for everyone, everyones family because there was a long litany of tragic cases that followed george floyd. The major killings that included some cases like many of those that are alive now that i tried to get this type of legislation passed. I paused for a moment because i wanted to give them honour and respect but they too are awaiting and so the idea of george floyd � s family as they are carrying a heavy burden because they are carrying the burden of their family and the burden of their family and the burden of their family and the burden of otherfamily burden of their family and the burden of other Family Members that look to them to keep the fight going and ensure legislation will be passed. That stops the no knock which is an absolutely absurd and works to ensure there is a fair system between police and citizens, that there is no breach between police and citizens, to ensure one has an upper hand. We want police to go home to their families and we want people, the citizens to go home to their families. There is nothing wrong with that. That is the method we have and feeling the family has, a very charitable family. A family that believes in the spirit of giving so that there is no upper hand, that is way the George Family feels and amazed and overwhelmed they respond. They respond in a charitable way. They respond in a manner that is giving. They respond in a manner that is hopeful. Very hopeful. But they are impatient with waiting. There is a breakup on the line, we apologise and we will persevere speaking to you because this is an important topic and given the importance of what you have been outlining their, why is it this act has not been managed to be passed . Why are we at this point where you are having to reintroduce it . We know there was very little democrats and republicans can agree on and congress, can we Reach Agreement on this . We congress, can we Reach Agreement on this . We had to work hard agreement on this . We had to work hard to agreement on this . We had to work hard to have agreement on this . We had to work hard to have a agreement on this . We had to work hard to have a bipartisan | work hard to have a bipartisan bill, we had a bipartisan bill when it was first introduced and it was passed by over 200 votes. We have to ask those few republicans this time in the House Of Representatives why they would be an obstacle to passing this legislation. Very good legislation. Fair legislation. Legislation that would not undermine the integrity of Law Enforcement at any level. I have two ask the question of those that would vote against it in the United States senate, which were republicans. It is important we find a way to carve out the right kind of plan that works for those in the United States senate and then uses the same formula for that in the United States House Of Representatives. I think we will get there. This family is the greatest asset the late george floyd has because they have been so giving and have been so open to ways of getting this bill, a bill that can be voted on by all members of the United States congress, i truly believe we will have a senate vote and houseboat that will get this relatively president of the United States of america. He should sign it immediately. Immediately. There is no standard immediately. There is no standard training immediately. There is no | standard Training Practice immediately. There is no i standard Training Practice or agreed operational methods that apply right across all of this countrys many Police Forces but in the last four years, have there been some improvements you can point to in policing . In policing . Individual acts have occurred in policing . Individual acts have occurred as in policing . Individual acts have occurred as the in policing . Individual acts| have occurred as the family said. There have been Executive Orders that were assigned by local cities and counties. The set is mostly that have the lawmaking accountability. None is Law Of The Land of the United States of america. The family wants established law that applies to every person and citizen, that is what we want to be governed by the same law across america. That is fair and the only way to be fair. ,. ,. Fair. 0k. Democratic congresswoman fair. 0k. Democratic. Congresswoman sheila fair. 0k.
