You said that you want to continue this protest and that you are determined but theyve been going on for a year and a half now we have to say that the reaction from china has been this extradition laws that and that started all this time is only clamp down further it is imposed a National Security law we have mentioned that elections have been postponed and you yourself have been barred from standing for district elections do you think it is time that you change your strategy.

Thank you. 3rd. Now 2 Police Officers have been shot and wounded in the u. S. City of louisville kentucky as angry protests erupted across the country the demonstrations followed the announcement that no one would be charged with the killing of Briana Taylor a black woman taylor was shot in her own apartment by Plainclothes Police in march her death has become an important symbol for the black lives Matter Movement for testers are calling for an end to what they say is unjustified police violence. Shots fired against police in louisville 7 they are. Right there. Was. As they were deploying to do this to get what was going on at 1st and broadway shots rang out and 2 of our officers shot both officers are currently undergoing treatment university hospital. One is in alert in stable the other officer is currently undergoing surgery in stable we do have one suspect in custody. The officers were shot during protests ignited by a grand jury decision that 2 white Police Officers were not to be charged over the death of Briana Taylor taylor a black medical worker shot in her own home during a raid in march became a symbol for the black lives matter misspent. Hour that was 5. 2 55. A state of emergency has been declared in louisville as the authorities confront protesters. Several were arrested. On here because i think its you know its not right to kill her and i have no repercussions for going to sleep when i 1st found out about it i just felt like the city of little city i grew up the. Phil black woman today there phil black woman miserably. It spoke all across the nation in. The. Demonstrations have been held across cities including new york chicago and atlanta as protesters demand justice for what they call unwarranted to police violence. By. Stefan simons is embryonic taylors hometown of louisville kentucky we asked him why no Police Officers have been charged over her killing excellent question and i dont have an easy or simple answer for you because i dont know. Your experts dont know the attorney of the Taylor Family doesnt really know and had to succumb to saying like this is a total disgrace this decision the attorney general of the state kentucky has said he followed the law the state law and there was no room and no space allowing him to charge any of those officers directly and that is key here directly to the death of Briona Taylor thats why we already have a charge off and danger meant in the 1st degree and 3 counts of this for one officer the other 2 werent even charged it is literally no chacha cant any of the Law Enforcement involved in the death of Briana Taylor and of course this is not sitting well with anybody here people actually have an absolute loss how this can happen and no justice no peace this is what we heard all day long this is what were going to and we will hear this for the next few days and nights not only here in louisville kentucky im sure about that. Stefan there also in the u. S. The President Donald Trump has again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if you lose this novembers election trump was speaking at a News Conference in the white house. To see what happens you know that have been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster and that it will arrive. To making sure that theres a nice little word for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and you know have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots out of control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else. Peter the dolphin to use us Election Team is looking into this story for us hi peter this has created a big stir in the us why is President Trump saying as well as with many things it is hard to not sell biased but but looking at the data objectively speaking the most likely explanation seems that you know the road to reelection is looking very bumpy for trump hes been trailing in the polls for months including kept in several key states and so under normal circumstances you would kind of lean back and just let the election take its course but this is not a normal were not looking at normal circumstance this is not a normal election were in the middle of a pandemic and because at that theres been a huge search and requests for mail in ballots. So we can kind of expect probably the election to come into waves the 1st is on election day where you know republicans have said that theyre more likely to turn out to vote and person meaning that the results election day could tilt in trumps favor but that could be swept up by a 2nd wave in the days and weeks following where were seeing you know more mail in ballots come in theyre being counted democrats have said that that is their preferred method of voting this time around which means that you know we could end up with biden as the winner days or weeks after the actual election day so anticipating this trump is really you know the start of so doubt about the integrity of mail in ballots he said that theyre fraudulent theres no basis for that claim nothing in the past suggests that theres any basis for that but trungpa certainly signal that he will not accept any result if you know what were talking about here i mean if President Trump is not reelected and he refuses to leave office what does that mean yeah i mean peaceful transfer of power is one of the hallmarks of american democracy and it would truly be uncharted territory just look at how his challenger joe biden reacted when he was asked about a statement. Says. The rational. For the it was a. Surprise. Yes obviously a lot of the bait about what would actually happen if trump refused to concede defeat Political Science is constitutional lawyers trying to game out or map out the berries than areas. The truth is we dont really know because it never happened before according to constitution if he loses he would have to leave office by jenner 20th a lot of people believe you wont let it come to that which is why he is you know that he would try to let the Supreme Court maybe make the decision for him should it come to. A situation where the election result is contested thats why hes racing to fill the seat left vacant now by Ruth Bader Ginsburg said its much just yesterday and if you look at this graphic you can see why before the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg the balance on the court. Was you know 4 liberal judges 5 democratic thats now out to it or if he gets his appointment through before the election that whats even more in his favor interims favor with 6 conservative justices on the court and that is why many people are hoping for a blow out you know election result that is so ambiguous that theres really no way to contest it and we wont it wont have to come to this might have to brace for a litigation battle there in the u. S. Peter going to dallas from our u. S. Election team thank you very much.

If thats not a way its shameful so i have to take the metro to go to work i could infect myself or others whats the point of these measures. Its completely unjust other areas have also many cases only a lockdown in the whole of madrid would make sense. Many in the south of madrid feel.
