ronald sullivan and mary frances berry f. for the moment thank you both so much for sharing your initial reaction to this verdict with us here on al-jazeera i'd just like now to go to our correspondent who was always outside the courthouse and just also talk through some of the pictures that we are seeing really pictures of jubilation outside the courthouse the verdict the guilty on all 3 charges for derek chauvin john hendren tell me a little bit about what you're seeing at where you are and i guess your reaction as well to this verdict you of course have been following this trial for the past 3 weeks. well the good people who come by here have been extraordinarily emotional i think they've been pessimistic for so many years about so many police incidents where black men in particular but african-americans in general have been killed at the hands of police and. what we've heard is a real celebration but also a surprise i don't think people expected a guilty verdict on all 3 counts and so you're you're seeing some of that spi

princess diana both had a state funeral and in fact if you look back further in the 20th century queen mary was married to king george the 5th and queen alexandra whose marriage to the 7th also had a big state funeral so every concert really in the 20th century have you know the full works but prince philip long ago made the decision that he wanted to go back 160 years to the death of prince albert the last male prince consort and have exactly the same kind of young but he did which was a very small lukey of a sudden george's windsor there was never i think in his mind a knee idea that he wanted syria ranks of troops marching around the streets he wanted to go quietly to what extent was prince philip the duke of edinburgh the driving force behind the morton british monarchy. i think you shaped the monarchy in the days immediately after the death of king george the 6 there was no guard that surrounded the sovereign the people who protected him and also forged if you like the the daily life of the court but they were old they were funny daddy and they were stuck in a way is and philip recogni

to grow the sun is a clinical epidemiologist and senior lecturer at queen mary university of london joins us now from cambridge so heartbreaking scenes of people lining up outside hospitals struggling to get help and yet do the current figures reflect the reality of the situation how concerned are you about mortality data being suppressed or simply not being reported. i think both the case and death are a huge underestimate of what's happening i mean in delhi we have positively read to 36 percent so one in 3 people tested are tested positive which means a huge amount under testing we know from crematorium data that deaths are being underestimated by between 4 to 26 for depending on what state you're in and i also think that the death toll that have been reported for the future are huge underestimates because we need to remember that the deaths that are happening today are related to infections that happened 3 weeks ago which means that death 3 weeks later will reflect infections today which means that you know we don't we haven't reached the peak of this and deaths will unfortunately keep

let's now speak to ronan li an expert in the country's ethnic divisions and a visiting scholar at queen mary university of london so you're hearing there has been years of violence in me and my involving these armed groups i think pretty much since independence many of them fighting for greater autonomy help us understand why they're getting drawn into this intensifying conflict with the military now. well for me i think minorities the military of the country has always been the enemy that's who they've been fighting for the last many decades they blame the military for standing in the way of their aspirations for local autonomy and for stamping on any expression of their ethnic rights or identity that what's happening now is that the military in launching the coup has managed to unify and not just the country's majority against them but also the ethnic groups and ethnic minority groups at the same time what the military would try to do in the past is strike a peace agreement with with one group while it launches an attack on the other or all all cease fire agreements have now broken down wi
