Lets turn to washington, where lawmakers are debating a bill sparked the outcry over the deaths of black americans at the hands of police. The legislation to tackle Police Brutality was put forward by the democrats in t house of representatis, with a vote expected later. This is all taking place on events marking one month since the death of george floyd. Democrats have been pushing their case to the media. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson lee. Let the George Floyd Justice in policing act. It is not a figment of our imagination. It is not an idea that we just wanted to exhibit our promise of the law. Lthislation is americas legislation. It is a patriotic stance that says that we all are created equal under the law, and we are ty. To be denied that equa [applaus lets take a look at the bill. It is called the george floyd 2020. Ce and policing act of aims to make it easier to prosecute police for misconduct, banned chokehold and no knock warrants and reinforces federal police t use a body and dashboard cameras. Right now, that bill is being debated by the house of controlled by the democrats, and so, it is likely to pass, b the bill has to pass through the senate, which republicans control. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell had called it a nonstarter. Also, relevant to this story,st ight, this happened in washington. A rival Police Reform bill put forward by the republicans in the senate failed to get enough votes to advance. 60 were needed for it to pass. The democrats knocked the bill call it a toothless response to Police Brutality. Hit back, Mitch Mcconnell tweeted, democrat does block the senate from considering Police Reform. This issue deserves better than more do nothing democratically w after speari look to the democrats. Lets digest the republic when the republican one called the stice t put by tim scott perry improving Data Collection use of force and compel states and local police to documentct misconnd it discourages and incentivizes chokeholds. While there was some overlap between both bills, articles inlike this one pots out that this republican act isly not more limitedhan that ofcr demos justice policing act. Kamala harris had a more harsh assessment. She called the republican bill in the and not about rinl consequenceal accountability. Heir sides here digging heels in nancy is monitoring the developmenfor us in washington. Unity is not a word we use often at the moment the senate or the house of representatives. What is your take on what is goinon here . Nancy says i thought it was going to be a challenge to get something through a divided congress, particularly during an election year, 4. 5 months away from the president ial election. Theti keying point as you highlighted here, was whether to compel local Police Departments to reform, or use incentives as a republicans want to try to coax them into banning chokeholds by withholding feral funds are offering additional federal funds for them to reform. F have two different ways looking at tackling Police Reform, and two different chambers of congress, and right now, there doesnt seem to be a lot of room to compromise, or a lot of willingness t both sides may want to take this to the voters in november. How long will we have to wait for any resolutions for what will happen with the police . Bill well, you have to remembe youre not only electing a new president in november, but we are eg an entirely new house of representatives, and a little bit of a third of the nate. All of them will be sworn in the beginning of next year. Nothing gets done now, and it looks likely that nothing will get done, we will have to look to january, february of next year with a new congress p possibly a nsident, to make efforts reform, when this divided government could be broken. Ok. Thank you very much for the update. As soon as we get thatn decis, which we are expecting inen hous co time, we will bring you that on bbc news.

The United Nations says Police Forces around th world should stop using facial recognition ditechnology on people att peaceful protests. Technology like this here, scans faces in a crowd, and matchesit themidentity sred on a database. Police forces say it helps them spot wanted criminals, but the u. N. Has other concerns. Facial recognition constitutes a paradigm shift. Dramatically increases the capacity to identify and track all, or many participants in an assembly in an automated fashion, a sometimes in real time. At the same time, facial cognition today remains prone to errors. That means in this context, misidentification could lead to wrongful arrests for prosecutions. The United Nations says this technology can violate protesters righteafromful assembly. The technology is already being used. This is cardiff in the u. K. On a bigger scale, in hong kong last year, protesters from the democracy moment went to huge lengths to avoid being identified, shining lasers onto Police Lights in an effort to confuse any scanners that might be there. This group went atep further, chopping down a camera. Some sort of liquid to disablesd it. The Authorities Say these our traffic cam is, but protesters believe therefore surveillance.

Human Rights Office comes at an black lives matter few weeks, demonstrations right around the world and allegations of Excessive Police intervention, excessive use of force. What the u. N. Was looking at here is the kinds of things that Law Enforcement agencies use around demonstrations, facial cognition is one of them and a surprising move, the u. N. Said dont just control it. They want a moratorium on the use of facl recognition at peaceful protests. They say governments really need to first of all, guarantee how and why that data is being used, and that human rights are protected when it is emonstrations, peaceful demonstrations, should not be recorded anyway. Enforcement officers to do that. Next, new development on the deadly confrontation between indian and chinese troops m earlier thth. These new satellite images suggest china has built new structures thathe site of the ash we end left cla, which left indian troops dead. Both sides accuse the other breaking agreements. Many questions remain about exactly what happened. We have been taking a close look at that story that is capture the worlds attentn. We know something happened in the mountains. Soldiers clashed and died. Theirlas that brutal weapons were used. Two Nuclear Weapons were used, and in combating me both blame the other. What happened on the indiachina border, and why does it matter so much . It is 45 years since the last daily clash between india and china. 45 years. What changed . The pressure was building. This sits on the border. It is the line of actual control. There are troops on either sidei in the territory around it still disputed. E recent example is indias upgrading of its infrastructure tohis irritation. This border has always been about managed to him, but tengion reached a breaking point. This is indis version of events is that the chinese sought to redirect a structure on our side. Of construction in the border area are proof of china breaking the rules. But there is china story. They see things differently. [speaking foreign lguage] both agree something happened china says it was fierce and physical care when indian officer told the bbc, they hit our boys in theead. Our boys fought with barehands. An indian official pass this image to the bbc, claiming these were chinese weapons. There was a deal back in the 1990s that banta guns near the border so they fought in a different way. How precisely, we dont know because there is no footage. Vif you have seen lots ideo shared social media, like this one, or thi one, they arent of this class. What are real are videos like this, funeralsa. In indi they say 20 of its soldiers died any claims china lost men, too. China is a policy of not commenting on military casualties. Precisely why this escalated on june 15, we still dont really know, but the ag two neighborobal powers constantly jockeying for position and at this part of the border, the past matters, too. Hey fought a war over this patch of land in 1962, a war in which china rapidly defeated india a b has been a historical for india in certain decades. He Prime Minister is aware there is an appetite forndia to assert itself. [speaking foreign language] look at these pictures. That is president xi. The hindu nationalism that feels moldys political powers firing up. Some see moldy standing up to chinatnd some say he has done enough in some say there are interior notice. One newspaper says of him that country patriotism is only a political weapon for them. It is the chinese suggestion ithat forndia, this is a National Inferiority complex playing out. Have a look at this. He says the fact that india cannot beat china mitarily is is not able to sanction china. N dt bluff and stop pushing more indian soldrs to risk their lives. The one abouthinas motive . A certainly,fter the event, it wants to be seen as fair, but proud for. These pitchers are from sta this is recent footage of a highaltitude military drill. Consider this. As this indian journals notes, the Chinese Media broadly buries news ofor the wst clash on the indiachina border for years. It is true, the government and media is not wanted to get into the details, nor ramp up the rhetoric, which points to a difference. To happen without once it had,is for it to show it militaryence power. India wants to be seen standing up to the chinese. That is a message for china, and fornd indiahe watching world. But the watching world has shown little interest in getting involved. Llwhat does e never while we may never know what happened, the menied is proof of how high the stakes are for it and china, and how their rivalry will shape the region for years to come. Stawith us.
