Well george for his brother is set to testify at a congressional hearing on policing practices the House Judiciary Committee will also hear evidence from civil rights leaders and annoying for sprint officials i speak to our White House Correspondent kimberly how good my from washington to tell us more about what george for his brother will be doing on capitol hill today well hell be sharing his very personal testimony and experiences this comes at a pivotal late right after the funeral of george floyd when emotions are still running high this House Judiciary Committee hearing set to begin in the next hour and we know that in addition to the testimony from felonies floyd Law Enforcement officers will also be testifying this is really a hearing to examine Police Practices and it comes after the House Democrats on capitol hill and build legislation they hope will be the beginning of change that if this becomes law this would put in place a National Police registry would ban things like chokeholds and also and qualified immunity for Police Officers also ideas that are being pushed by some democrats but we should point out not all is the suggestion of defunding the Police Department one suggestion that is controversy all not shared by all democrats but certainly there is a broad and growing movement within the Democratic Party to do so we know that there will also be Law Enforcement officers that will be testifying about their experiences in this hearing it is expected to be emotional and certainly very detailed in terms of the experiences that will be shared as you mentioned senators are not considering their own proposal on policing do we know the details of that. Yeah were learning some of the details we understand that the u. S. President donald trump sent up his son in law jared cushion or as well as his chief of staff mark meadows to talk with senator tim scott he is there an africanamerican republican senator on capitol hill and we know that according to the press secretary Kelly Mcinerney was speaking here at the white house just moments ago that this is something that the president is trying to craft that would make sure that the Law Enforcement officers in the United States are respected the view of the white house is that they are generally good people that there may be some bad characters that need to be rooted out and that this can be done in tandem with supporting communities of color now what the hope is in there have been some signals already that this legislation being crafted by republicans could eventually find some Common Ground with the legislation being crafted in the Lower Chamber that is the house of representatives controlled by democrats now in the midst of all of this we should point out that joe biden the former Vice President running to replace donald trump in the white house has also put out an op ed in a National Newspaper today he is calling for fundamental change to address racial inequality he believes this involves reforming policing in the United States but not to funding it thank you for that company how could lie for his son the white house you know the world news speculation is building in burundi after the sudden death of president.

Was announced the winner although that was disputed in the loss of irregularities reported with one crew in the meet in currencies of meanwhile have been appointed to the most senior position in the party a more senior position than the president very much looked like he was trying to stay in control and trying to control of the position by which he would remain the most powerful person in burundi but now that hes gone we waiting to find out what that means for the much nations between the small group of generals and security chiefs who control whats going on the constitution says it is the speaker of the National Assembly who should take over when the head of state passes away but there is a president in waiting so weve potentially got 2 factions there who might now be vying for power in the weeks ahead thank you for that malcolm webb l.
