you heard two different points of view —— george floyd. if you want to be part of global questions, submit a question then e—mail us on global questions. until the next time from me, zeinab badawi, and the rest of the global questions team, goodbye. hello there. we are seeing a change in the month, but not too much change in the weather. it is staying cold. if we look at april 2021, it's been exceptionally cold the past month or so. in fact, the overnight temperatures on average have been the lowest in almost 100 years, and it is going to stay quite cold on into the first part of may as well. this was the picture on friday. the final day of april brought us sunshine and april showers, and those april showers will be rolling on through the course of the first weekend in may as well. so, sunny spells in—store, but also some scattered fairly heavy downpours. we're in between a couple of areas of low pressure at the moment, this one waiting in the atlantic. that will be more of a pair by the time we get to bank holiday monday, but for the

indict former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin for federal civil rights violations for killing george floyd last year by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds. this comes a week after a minnesota judge convicted -- a jury convicted chauvin on three counts, including second-degree murder. the three other officers who were at the scene of floyd's death may also face federal indictments. medical researchers have found a link between people exposed to police tear gas and abnormal menstrual cycles. some 900 people exposed to tear gas during protests last year in portland, oregon, reported being affected with symptoms including increased cramping, unusual spotting, or increased bleeding. federal and city officers deployed tear gas on an almost nightly basis in portland last summer during the nationwide uprising for black lives. tear gas has been previously linked to miscarriages. in immigration news, the supreme court has sided with an undocumented guatemalan man challenging his deportation in a ruling that could affect hundreds of thousands of immigrants. in a decision autho

now on bbc news, one year on from the death of george floyd in minneapolis, are america's racial divisions starting to heal, or are they as deep as ever?

be elected to the united states senate, you would then be in a position to vote on things like the george floyd act. as you look at the way that criminal justice reform is proceeding in the united states senate right now, do you think it's enough, as a former judge, when you look at these potential changes to the law on a federal level, do you think they go far enough? >> i certainly believe that there must be federal criminal justice reform and federal standards around what's right. it makes so much sense that choke holds must be banned and other procedures that we see happening in communities across this state, across the nation. and the reality is, you know, lives are valuable. and we've got to figure out some kind of standard and procedures that offer transparency for communities to have trust, for there to be reasonable relationships between law enforcement and communities and there has to be a way in order to proceed to make sure that lives are saved. >> very quickly, i'm going to put up the margin by which you were not re-elected as chief justice. because it was very strong. we're

they are making sure that young people have a voice in this action plan which is why mayor from george washington high school is joining us here today. so, folks, san francisco should be proud. we're leading in the vaccination effort. higher numbers than the state and the entire country. we're leading in addressing issues around climate change with our carbon emissions and other challenges that we face and we're going to continue to lead. and it's time to start upping the ante and setting new goals. at the end of the day, san francisco has been a leader. we know that we can't just operate in our own bubble and make changes to support and uplift the environment without making sure that we are demonstrating how it can be done for others to follow. this entire planet and the future of our planet and the generations to come, there's so much at stake here. i don't want the next generation of young people to look back and say, "what did they do? why didn't they act sooner?" you see this windy clean air we're breathing, it has everything to do with everything that we have been doing in san fr

as the handling of the best for george and cohen. he won a bundle on that, on the underdog boston braves, the miracle braves, a real 1969 mets kind of team, who swept conte max philadelphia a's. there's some concern about whether that series was fixed, and maybe that's why connie mack broke up the team. arthur austin, the person i wrote about, the big big role, the big brain, the go-to guy, the lone shark, the labor racketeer, the gambler, the casino owner, the rum runner, the bootleg, or the drug smuggler, the guy who's involved in everything in new york, with tammy hall politics and wall street bucket shops and even loan them money to finance broadway shows, he's the big bankroll. that was the name of a book about him. it's very true. and so sports sullivan might be up to doing and fixing the world series, but he doesn't have the money to make it all work. maybe you can make that work, there's 80,000 dollars, 10,000 dollars a man being -- in front of the white sox. but then what do you do? you've got to lay down pets to make money

that is the rescue of george washington's portrait when the british were invading washington in 1814. as dolly told the story to her sister, she remained in the white house waiting for james to return from the battle of gettysburg. where of course the local militia are not successful of keeping the british out of d.c.. in the meantime, she is busy directing servants to fill up the wagon with valuables of along to the white house. a part of this that often gets overlooked as we focus so much on the washington portrait, is that they saved the cabinet papers. madison's papers. to me that becomes almost in some ways, something so important that we should not lose sight of it. we know so much about the founding period because of those papers were not burnt in the white house. they do order that general, that part should be saved, and not be left to be vandalized, and it has been actually mailed in a wooden frame to the wall, so they have to break the frame, pull out the nails, roll the portrait up, and then she puts it in good hands for safekeeping. then, and only then, does she agreed to

since the murder of george floyd sparked protests across the country last year, they tell us more than twice as many bills have been introduced and more are on the way. fundamentally anti-american to respond to protests by seeking to sigh lent lens them. it seems like state lawmakers are reaching for a tool that's -- that's commonly reserved to repressive governments. >> in indiana gop lawmakers want to penalize people for funding protests. another bill in minnesota would cut off many public benefits like state loans or assistance to a person convicted of an offense during a protest. >> and in a move that critics say emoex advocates painful memories of the deadly 2017 car attack on peaceful protesters in charlottesville, virginia. republicans in iowa have proposed granting immunity to drivers who hurt protesters convicted of unlawful assembly or blocking traffic. democrats worry the new florida law's broad language could lead to peaceful protesters being detained and silenced while republicans here cite some of the more violent demonstrations in recent years in other states and praise

george mason was a hero. he's right to have a monument. it's on the mall. if you're going to the african-american museum, it's not far from there, and it's not too hot today, so you could pay tribute to this great anti-federalist. he originally supported the constitution but came to oppose it because it didn't contain a bill of rights. that concern was remedied by the adoption of a bill of rights. but more broadly, the anti-federalists were concerned about overweening federal power that would be unchecked either by judges or by the other branches. in our explainer about the second amendment, nelson lund and adam winkler have a wonderful paragraph where they describe the conflict between the federalists and anti-federalists. i'm going to see if i can find it. as i look, this is incredibly new app. it's called the interactive constitution, available in the app store. explore it. i'm just clicking on amendment 2, the right to bear arms. and here are nelson lund and adam winkler describing how the federalists and anti-federalists agreed and disagreed. and it sa

i'm going on record and saying someone owes us an explanation as to how the death of george floyd was not preventible. if you take away the guy's badge in 2017, he doesn't take the life of george floyd. >> yeah, i was not familiar 20 that story, brett. it's absolutely stunning. it's all we know about it, this account that we just relayed. we had heard that there were other complaints about derek chauvin. but this does raise a lot of questions about the minneapolis police department and why he was still in his job. >> absolutely. in fact, if you think back of the discussion on this, this issue, we have talked about how unions have rallied and changed a lot of the rules. when i was u.s. attorney, very difficult to hold a police officer accountable because you didn't get the opportunity to investigate the case like you would any other use of force case when the unions or when the police department rallies and they protect their own, that's one of the complaints that even police officers are expressing. so we might have avoided all of this with george floyd had there been meaningful accou

again, i think they made it very clear that the george floyd justice in policing act is not against policing in america, but it is and does stand for good policing in america and the ending of police misconduct that day after day finds officers who are doing the wrong thing and they are bringing about the death, the death, the heinous death of a loved one who could have been alive, just like george floyd, but for the actions of a police officer who is designated and destined to protect and serve. >> well, to the question of how close you are to getting something done, one of the sticking points for senator tim scott, senator lindsey graham is the house version's limits on qualified immunity, which essentially protects law enforcement officers from most civil litigation. you have called the qualified immunity protections an injustice. could you support a bill that does not lift those protections? well, i think as the negotiations are going forward, i may not have to do that. frankly i believe, as i said, the meetings yesterday were powerful, but i think there's a greater understanding of real

>> a bipartisan group of senators including tim scott met with george floyd's brother, police reform on capitol hill delivering the g.o.p. rebuttal for president biden, discussed his efforts at police reform. >> last year after the death of breonna taylor and george floyd, i built a bigger police reform proposal but my democratic colleagues blocked it. i extended an olive branch, light offered amendments but they used the filibuster to block the debate from even happening. my friends seem to want the issue more than they want the solution. but i'm still working. >> outside the white house, the lead attorney sounded hopeful. >> we believe that everybody is committed, we are optimistic that president biden encouraged us to try to have this george floyd act passed before may 25th, the one year anniversary of the killing of george floyd. >> even on the very difficult subjects like police reform, gun safety, immigration, strong bipartisan compromise, it is never out of reach. >> violent crime is up in major cities across the u.s., last year the united states experienced the largest single

it always seems like george washington is posing for statues. in the early republic, it's always about dolley. the descriptions of her are on the move. it's not just fashion report or fashion police but rather a form of political analysis. and she is deliberately creating this. so she's not wearing what an actual queen would wear or what real court dress is. she's wearing an adaptation, what she imagines americans imagine of a queen. >> how did rank and file americans react to this? the newspapers would carry reports of -- >> yes, descriptions what have she was wearing and how elegant it was. >> were they proud or aghast? >> i think they were mostly proud. the federalists were a little put off by this, thought it was a little too regal, a little too queenly, a little too court-like. there was a lot of discussion about creating a republican court, with a small "r," and that is, you know, a group of people who headed up government, but with the idea of having it a republic instead of a monarchy. and so that's part of what she was doing. and one of

saying he wants a police reform bill passed by the first anniversary of george floyd's death. that is may 25th. i can tell you that based on my conversations with folks here at the white house and on capitol hill there is an urgency to get something done. but the question is will they be able to get it done, by that anniversary? and where will the compromise be, andrea. >> kristen welker, garrett haake, mike memoli and thanks to all of you. >>> the rudy giuliani calling the raids at his new york city apartment illegal and unconstitutional. new details next. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. ndrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. they grow from our imagination, but they can't be held back. they want to be set free. to make the world more responsible, and even more incredible. ideas start the future, just like that. ah, she thought that squirrel on your brand-new flat screen tv was an actual squirrel... leave it. purchase protection for what you didn't see coming. one of the many things you can expect when you're with amex. ♪ for decades, most bladder leak pads we

we remember her as the quintessential hostess, the stylish lady and the figure that helped rescue george washington's portrait. but for over a century after dolley madison, american companies used her name ice cream. they really crystalized her image into this ideal woman, the epitome of gracious hospitality. i hope to prove to you this afternoon that doll li's legacy and life was so much more than that stereotype. in fact, dolley shaped this nation by using hospitality to achieve political ends. she was always loyal and very devoted to her husband and she was an invaluable support when he was a congressman, secretary of state and, of course, advanced his life into the presidency. and she were -- i believe she and james were the original power couple. she also played a really critical role in shaping the social protocol of that brand-new capital, washington, d.c., and thus, how we governed ourselves in our early days. and she did it with a totally unique style. bright, lively, charming, warm, a, quote, faux to dullness in every form. a good friend said of dolley. and she was also very re

. >> harris: joining me now former speech writer for george w. bush and "washington post" columnist marc thiessen and fox news contributor. great so see you. first of all is senator scott getting it right? do liberals have to be careful here? >> 100% he is getting it right. there will be a backlash. but the reality is democrats know the backlash is coming and they don't care. i'm a little less concerned about the twitter mob than i am the democrats in congress. if you look at what they are doing, they understand they have a limited window of opportunity to pass as much of their radical agenda as possible. a 50/50 senate, six vote majority in the house. they could lose both houses in less than 18 months and they have a two-part plan for dealing with this. the first part is pass as much government spending as you possibly can as quickly as you can and why they've ditched bipartisanship and planning to joe biden unveiling $600 trillion in his first 100 days unprecedented in american history and build a firewall against a backlash to republicans can'

i'm not asking anybody to do anything that's -- by the way, the highest tax bracket, in fact, when george w. bush was president, people -- millionaires were playing 39.6%. what are they paying now? it's just about being fair. the middle class is carrying too much. >> i watched the speech last night. i watched the address. i watched the rebuttal from the junior senator of south carolina last night, tim scott. i don't know if you caught it. >> i didn't have an opportunity. >> he said among other things, america isn't racist. is it? >> no, i don't think america -- i don't think the american people are racist. but i think after 400 years african-americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education, health, in terms of opportunity. it's not just the criminal justice system. look at what happens when you have generations that have never been able to own a home. how -- my irish catholic family from ireland, how did they make it? they were able to buy a home and build wealth so they could do more. there's so many things that are put -- put the a

the conviction of george floyd's murder is now our opportunity to make some real progress to restore the soul of this country. we can do it. we can act rational police reform, root out systemic racism in our criminal justice system. and with real plans i outlined today, we have a real chance to deliver real equity across the board to everyone, black, white, latino, asian-american, good jobs, good schools, affordable housing, clean air, clean water. being able to generate wealth and pass it down through generations is how most folks got there. but how did most of the middle class folks you know who are caucasian or white -- how did they make it? they were able to get enough money to buy a home, and they built equity in that home, and they passed it on, and they passed it on, and that's how you build wealth. we are going to make sure that african-americans, as well as make sure that latinos and asian americans are able to build that kind of wealth.
