That protest to go actually 1st your way into the state house and they were carrying a k 47 assault weapons among other things but the police stood back allowed them to have their protest and then leave without any major confrontation and they draw a contrast because that group was largely white and this group was largely black so there is a lot of anger going on there a lawyer for the family says the family thinks that firing the 4 officers involved was a good head start but not enough they want to see those officers prosecuted and its not happening now but the federal bureau of investigation and the Minnesota State organization that is its counterpart are both investigating this to see if there were civil Rights Violations in the death of georgia.

Have flared once again in the hong kong with more than 300 demonstrators being arrested during a standoff with police these are live pictures from the center of hong kong there are gangly over new proposed laws which they say damage the freedoms of hong kong people injuring britain as more.

Many home complete people arent reassured and they now know the risk for daring to demonstrate their opposition adrian brown aljazeera hong kong. Benedict rogers is cofounder and chairman of hong kong watch he says the movement is likely to keep going until protesters get what they believe was promised by the government. I dont think were seeing the end of the prodemocracy movement the movement i think is absolutely as determined as ever particularly to try to not have this security you know imposed on them theyre not just going to roll over but we are certainly seeing the end of hong kongs autonomy of one country 2 systems and its basic creed and i think overall the weight of responsibility lies on kerry land and on the Central Government in beijing they have promises that they should uphold under the terms of the sign of british joint declaration and the basic law constitution including a promise albeit in vaguely worded terms to introduce universal suffrage at some stage so the responsibility is theirs and they have introduced at various times laws and measures that have been extremely repressive and have absolutely provoked the fury of the people of course to have been a small minority and i emphasize one minority of protestors who have resorted to violence and an extreme action and i dont condone that action and i think come home is are at their best when they protest peacefully but we should remember that those incidents of violence have mostly been in response to Police Brutality its usually been the police that has has acted 1st and of course in response to out of frustration at a government that just does not listen to the beatles the us president says hes working on a strong response to chinas plans National Security law in hong kong his threats prompted this reaction from the Chinese Foreign ministry. So you know. We the National Security legislation for hong kong is purely chinas internal fear that allows no foreign interference china is determined in imposing external interference in hong kong if he is if anyone insists on harming chinas interests joyner is determined to take all necessary countermeasures and taiwans president has thrown her support behind the protesters in hong kong promising to provide humanitarian aid for prodemocracy activists saying one says the island which has its own struggles with chinese sovereignty will continue to back efforts towards democracy and freedom its the most concrete show of support by taiwan in recent months ok lets go back to our top story for Police Officers whove been fired in the u. S. City of minneapolis after the death of an unarmed black man Douglas Sloan is a civil rights analyst and hes Vice President of the National Association for the advancement of colored people and hes joining us in washington d. C. Hes with us by skype thank you very much indeed for giving us your time. Given the fact that these events which do happen on a unfortunately regular basis are almost always captured on camera whether its by but the police themselves all by passers by and that people intervene is it in any way surprising that this still goes on so publicly. It is and id just like to clarify her quickly Vice President of the d. C. Branch of the in double a c. P. So im not here where is it in the end alessi people rather my views as a civil rights analyst and social justice activists but yes it is very surprising they we keep seen these films clips and videos over and over again disparate treatment of black males in particular at the hands of the police it is stunning it is surprising it is shocking that we continue to see black males brutal august in awe and sometimes killed at the hands of the police just 6 years ago we saw air garner die under very similar circumstances at the hands of officer dan panta layo in Staten Island he was killed mia illegal to local so it is stunning to people in a black community we continue to see this horrid treatment brutalization of black males and to the police and collectively traumatizes a black community so i and that is only going to lead to more negative outcomes for the police so yes in some ways it is shocking that we continue to see this treatment how significant is it that these officers were fired so quickly after the event it is definitely a step in the right direction. Again using the example of the officer in Staten Island he was not fired into will just last year bottom years after the crime so to see swift action by the Police Department in minneapolis is a relief and a. It is the 1st step towards justice to see the officers fired to see those officers indicted of a crime. Homicide against. Mr floyd and to see his family by mansion compensated of course we would like to have a conviction because officer dan pans label you your was indicted. But the grand jury refuses to refuse to step forward and actually meet the grand jury refused to indict officer dan panza leo even though the case was recommended to a grand jury so we would like to see an indictment and we would like to see a conviction of those officers they killed mr floyd in broad daylight right before our eyes. Ok Douglas Sloan thank you very much douglas on is civil rights honest and Vice President of the end of the d. C. Office thank you very much indeed for making that correction for me i appreciate it could have you on the show thank you very much to you but more ahead on the news hour including donald trump threatens to shut down social Media Companies are they after twitter labeled 2 of his tweets as misleading. 10 days of mourning in spain for the thousands of people whove died from coronavirus. And in sports find out why saudi arabias proposed takeover of Newcastle United Football Club might be in doubt. Of course deciding if are a wonder genocide suspect will be handed over to u. N. Custody if so former businessman for this will go on trial at an International Court hes accused of helping finance the mass killings in 1904 and he was arrested in the french capital after 26 years on the run Natasha Butler is joining us now from paris so what has been going on in court today. Were at the paris court of appeal where the chamber is deciding on the validity of. Those International Arrest warrant and he was indicted by a u. N. Tribe you know in 1997 on several charges including genocide the court will also decide whether or not they will grant prosecutors their request and that is to transfer to u. N. Custody now if that was to happen he could then be tried before an International Tribunal most probably in tanzania in the mechanism in aruba now the court has a week to decide exactly what their decision will be they dont necessarily have to hand over anything today this is the beginning of that process that managed to evade justice for more than a quarter of a century before he was arrested in paris earlier this month. No wonder the businessmen. In the capital kigali in 19931 year before the genocide hes accused of helping to finance could google is alleged to have funded the ethnic militias the killed at least 800000 ethnic tutsis and moderate hutus in 100. 00 days could be go was it not for more than a quarter of a century is rest in paris earlier this month has been welcomed by genocide survivors like it sends him on a. Tomato rest but of course we must respect the presumption of innocence he was one of the men figures of the old rhonda and he was wanted on several charges so its a huge relief that hes been caught who was indicted by un cotton genocide charges in 1997 so decades he evaded investigators in africa and europe before he was finally caught in france french investigators surveyed Children Online and discovered the one of them rented an apartment in this building in the paris suburb of ano source and when police raided the home they found now 84 years old it is believed that he was living here for at least 4 years with a false identity. Colonel eric m. A whole led the investigation. During the lockdown are investigators were working from home so they have more time to focus on this case to truck phones and locations and we began to survey one location in we believe he was in the apartment but wont certain until we open the door we carried out a d. N. A. Test to confirm it was him the paris school to decide whether to hand google to you in custody he could face a tradition to tanzania to face trial in an International Court also likely he would be transferred to the hague and then transferred to a rush out to face child but it is still possible that the valid ety of the restaurant would be a challenge and that the court will accept that argument its unclear how one of the worlds most wanted men was able to if they just dismiss so now if google does face trial it may provide some answers it might also shed light on the extent to which the who wanted genocide was planned and officer vive as a sense that after so many years justice is finally being served. When lawyers for felicia say that he wishes to be tried here in france where hes been living for several years they say hes elderly hes 84 years old and that his health is frail and the extraditing him would simply be too much for a man of that age they also say that he has some family members here in france and also close by in europe so it would be better if he was to be tried in france but of course that will be up to the court to decide that a shot a lot from paris natasha thank you very much indeed.
