of what derek chauvin did to george floyd. even when derek chauvin threatened her with mace, darnella frazier held her ground, and she kept recording. she then posted her video on facebook, and the police lie instantly began to crumble. >> probably close to midnight, a community member had contacted me and said, chief, almost verbatim, but said, chief, have you seen the video of your officer choking and killing that -- that man at 30th and chicago? so once i heard that statement, i just knew it wasn't the same milestone camera video that i had saw. and eventually within minutes after that, i saw for the first time what is now known as the bystander video. >> darnella frazier changed the police chief's mind about what happened on that street, and the next day derek chauvin was fired. when darnella frazier testified in the trial, she said she wished she did more. >> when i look at george floyd, i look at -- i look at my dad. i look at my brothers. i look at my cousins, my uncles because they are all black. i have a black father.

axios hosted a discussion with derek johnson, president and ceo of the naacp. the conversation focused on progress and setbacks in terms of race, justice, policing after the killing of george floyd. >> joining me now is derek johnson, the president and ceo of the naacp. mr. johnson, welcome to our segment. derrick: thank you for having me. >> thank you for coming back, it is so great to talk with you again. axios has spent the last 18 months unpacking systemic racism topic by topic, institution by institution. i want to know, in some ways it feels like there has been some progress. in other ways it feels like we are moving backwards. from where you sit, the naacp is involved with somebody different areas. voting rights, criminal justice, health care and i want to know where do you feel like our country has made the most progress and it comes to racial justice when you think about the last 18 months. derrick: i think we have had improvement in terms of having a conversation. structural barriers must be addressed in public policy. that is what we have been lackin

we saw former police officer derek chauvin, convicted for killing george floyd. we also saw kyle rittenhouse was acquitted. you said that verdict in wisconsin was an example of "the treacherous role of whites, a premise he privilege planner system." we saw the mcdaniels father and son convicted in the killing of ahmaud arbery. from the criminal justice perspective, what do you make of these trials that america's just watched? does it reflect change? >> all of it is convoluted, quite honestly. we have over 3000 law enforcement agencies across the country, from my understanding, and 3000 different standards of review and accountability. we have district attorneys across the country who are elected who think about ahmaud arbery's scenario. a district attorney who colluded with those who murdered ahmaud arbery, as opposed to with her -- as opposed to representing her district. there are reforms that can be made, that look at individual cases, isolated incidents. what are the systems in place to ensure that justice is blind and that all of us are afforded equal protec

amy: former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin has switched his plea to guilty of violating george floyd's civil rights, marking the first time he has publicly admitted to his role in floyd's debt. we will speak with civil rights lawyer ben crump about why and get an update on the manslaughter trial of former police officer kimberly potter, charged with killing motorist daunte wright in a minneapolis suburb when she says she mistook her gun for a taser. then the trailblazing black feminist scholar and activist bell hooks died wednesday at 69. >> often when i'm asked to talk about how i became bell hooks, renowned writer and intellectual, how i survived the racist, sexist, class elitism outside my home growing up and the dysfunction which sanctions abuse, betrayal, and abandonment within the patriarchal home, i talked about the significance of critical thinking. amy: we will hear bell hooks in her own words and talk about her work i did what she called the imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. we will speak with her close friend beverly guy-sheftall, former president

omar, you were front and center covering the trial and murder conviction of derek chauvin, and dante wright was killed right in the middle of that in brooklyn center which is right outside downtown minneapolis. what are you hearing from people in minneapolis right now? >> reporter: well, people here in minneapolis, for many of them, it is deja vu, going through that roller coaster of emotions of trying to see if floo police officers in this minneapolis area would be held responsible for their actions. you can see after derek chauvin, i would say there is a few dozen people who have come here to demonstrate in the name of dante wright. we do expect dante's mother and father to speak a little later as well, as we also expect to hear from the prosecution. i want to show you a little of what happened here in minneapolis. you can see people that have pulled up with porportraits, th one with dante wright right in front. you see other places and names that have popped up. people feel whenever one of these come, it's not for this particular case but it's about so many other names and faces,

. >>> former police officer derek chauvin is due in court tomorrow. he's indicating he wants to change his not guilty plea in the federal civil rights case related to the murder of george floyd. >> chauvin was convicted in april and sentenced to more than 22 years in prison. cnn's security correspondent josh campbell is in minneapolis for us. josh, what happens if chauvin changes his plea from not guilty to guilty now? >> well, this is a big development. it shows us that he's not going to fight these federal charges. the legal woes that this former minneapolis police officer has faced, he was convicted on state charges in the murder of george floyd but as is so often the case, the federal government came in and looked at the situation. any time there's an officer use of force, they'll determine whether or not there are federal charges. they determined that, yes, derek chauvin in their view violated george floyd's civil rights during that incursion. i'll read you part of the indictment. the federal government alleges that chauvin willfully deprived geo

let's check in with meteorologist derek van dam. derek, it might be even worse than we feared. what's the latest? >> just hearing that news, too, for the first time coming out of kentucky as well. but let's talk about the immediate threats going forward. a night of devastating tornadoes continues. and as we speak, we currently have a tornado warning for downtown nashville. the davidson county region. i'll give you a broader perspective and then zoom in. that shading of red. those are the locations of our tornado watches. and this line of storms that continues to pound central tennessee, as well as central kentucky with strong winds in excess of 60 miles per hour. and some encompassing tornadoes wedged within these lines of thunderstorms that are currently moving through the nashville area. getting into a little hyper-local detail. you can see nashville. this is davidson county where nashville is located. the tornado warning continue through 4:00 a.m. central time. this also includes sumner and wilson county. this tornado continues to move in a north-northeasterly direction. the

that were high as a result -- from where derek chauvin was.— were high as a result -- from where derek chauvin was. that came off the back of summer _ derek chauvin was. that came off the back of summer of _ derek chauvin was. that came off the back of summer of coast-to-coast - back of summer of coast—to—coast protests by many americans who feel that the police treat people of colour very differently in this country. the other thing worth mentioning about this case is that it is pretty rare for police officers to be convicted in this way, the sort of criminal charges, and there's lots of reasons for that. a lot of it is because you get laws to protection officer's right to use force, backed by powerful police unions. also, juries tend to not want to second—guess the actions of a police officer who is on the front line, ina in a hostile situation. police officer i've spoken to in the usa say they are dealing, theirjobs involving being out on the streets where you have many civilians who are armed as well, so it is quite rare for that to it was interesting. the minnesota attorney

thank you, derek van dam. we're going now live to kentucky's governor who is bribrif i giving a briefing. let's listen in. >> -- damage in over a dozen kentucky counties. the primary tornado was on the ground almost continuously for over 200 miles in our state. something we have never seen before. we have deaths in multiple, possibly, many counties. the hardest hit county appears to be grays, where the city of mayfield has been devastated. a roof collapse at a candle factory has resulted in mass casualties. as of 4:45 a.m., 56,854 kentuckians are without power. i've been personally is he operations center since 1:00 a.m., receiving the response and hearing and receiving the difficult news in realtime. i've been in personal contact with local leaders such as the mayor of mayfield, county judges in grays and marshall county. talking to emergency management in the hardest hit areas. before midnight i declared a state of emergency. now, i've activated the national guard, we're deploying 181 guardsmen, including se

derek chauvin, you had the police chief at the time come up and talk about derek chauvin, saying that did not comply with policy, while in kim potter's case, the former police chief said he didn't see any violation of policy. despite that, the jury came down with the two individuals of guilty of manslaughter. >> i want to talk about what message this sends to police officers around the country. chauvin was a pretty clear message, an extreme eegregious crime. not was arguing she doesn't make a mistake, just arguing on the reqlessness. if you are a police officer in brooklyn, new york, what is your takeaway from an outcome like this? >> indicate write, wet weather hyperbole, pretty much ever, i think it may prove to be more impactful than the chauvin verdict for many of the reasons you just mentioned. if i'm a police officer, i'm thinking this is a new day in law enforcement, a in conversation around accountability, this is a new opportunity to revisit and reimagine how things are done and how things are approached in terms of holding police officers responsible. i think this has to pro

derek chauvin admitting, yes, he did do those things. remind our viewers what this indictment actually entailed. i'll read part of it. derek chauvin willfully deprived george floyd of the right, secured and protected by the constitution and laws of the united states to be freed from an unreasonable seizure, which includes the right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a police officer. but again, the news here is that we see the family of george floyd gathering to speak after this major development in court today. derek chauvin now pleading guilty to those federal charges. we also know for the good of our viewers that there were three other officers who have also been charged. their case has now been severed or separated. chauvin is pleading guilty but those charges the other three officers also violated george floyd's civil rights by failing to intervene and provide medical assistance, that trial continues. they've pled not guilty but we expect their trial will continue in the next couple of months. >> josh, thanks for the u

so, someone like derek chauvin had a much longer track record with a number of complaints. this is a different case. it's a different set of facts and we'll have to see how the jury resolves this case. >> you mentioned derek chauvin was in court early today and changed his plea to guilty is that method of reducing a possible sentence. what do you make of that? >> derek chauvin is already a convicted murderer but today for the first time in a court of law he admitted that he kept his feet on george floyd's neck even after mr. floyd became unconscious. that is the closest he has ever come to accepting responsibility. in a plea deal as you note there is something for everybody. the prosecutors get their conviction and they'll ask the judge to throw the book at mr. chauvin. 25 years is what they're asking for. what chauvin gets is that he will probably be allowed to serve his term in federal prison and that would be an improvement over the minnesota state prison where he's being held now in solitary confinement. that's probably why he took this deal. plus if he'd gone to trial

from where derek show, it was on trial for the killing of george floyd. i mean, do you think that we are seeing would you say that these a meaningful changes that we're seeing in the justice system? i think it's too early to tell. i don't think we can say that by 2 cases while i am, you know, my heart is feeling good tonight because of the verdict, but i just too early to tell. i me out of all the media as you quoted all, any people who are killed by police officers and it's rare that police officers are even charge. what for a killing, let alone convicted if they are charged for it, killing, and then even after being convicted it even rare still that they get any significant jail time for the conviction. so it's just too early to say that after several cases that the trend is changing, i don't think there will know that for a while, and i don't think the trend will change until we have police reform in this country . it's not going to change by the jury verdict. i don't think that any police officer tonight to be quite honest, the scanner concerned becau

second big win for one of the prosecutors she was the prosecutor owes in the derek chauvin trial. what does that mean for policing in the state of minnesota. i think the jury's verdict, as well as the keep in mind these cases were not generally charged initially. even in this particular case, remember only second-degree manslaughter was charged under the a.g. came in and add the the first-degree manslaughter charge. we're seeing a tie for the gubernatorial office actually looking to police reform, but the jury's decision tells us that society is also looking for that type of police reform as well. what i think both of those things tell us is police reform is on the horizon. what about sentencing, david. no manslaughter in the sect drear it's a max of ten years in prison. she's found guilty for both. >> i think she's looking at the range of 7 to 9 years. what is difficult to predict here is how the judge will weigh the aggravating factors in terms of what we call an upwood sentencing departure, and in that regard, i think she's likely to get a higher sentence, and she frankly has n

this was right in the middle of the derek chauvin trial. chauvin, as many of you might remember, was convicted in this same courtroom after a jury deliberated for more than ten hours, but this same courtroom where the trial of kimberly potter has played out. back then, in april, people were on edge. they wanted to know what was going to happen in the case of derek chauvin. and when this incident with daunte wright happened, the prosecution was preparing to end -- was preparing to rest its case on the following day after kimberly potter shot and killed daunte wright. we heard from the brother of george floyd that monday, and we also heard from the prosecution's use of force expert in that case. so, people were in shock. they couldn't bloelieve an offir had shot and killed an unarmed black man right in the middle of the chauvin trial. so, protests erupted. i remember that sunday night in brooklyn center, outside of the police department, which is about 15 minutes from the courthouse here in hennepin county, people gathered. some were already

when it comes to that sort of change, in minnesota itself you have the derek chauvin ce, now kim potter with motion towards what police reform but activists will be saying there hasn't been really any followthrough and it is worth mentioning that these sorts of cases are pretty high profile. they get a lot of media attention so while there is accountability happening, it is probably fair to say that it is not indicative of the country and where the country is at as a whole when it comes to the change that many people want when it comes to police. >> thank you so much. now in hong kong, a well-known statue that commemorates students who died in the pro-democracy two men -- tiananmen square protests have been removed from a college campus. hong kong university defended its decision but some of the students have called the move cowardly. it was one of the last remaining tianann memorials in the city. the senate -- semi autonomous city has had many of its freedoms eroded in recent years thanks to strict laws from beijing. >> the painful expressns carved into the memorial were supposed to le

there have been criminal trials as a result of that violence and we have seen derek chauvin convicted of killing george floyd. we saw kyle rittenhouse acquitted. you sell that verdict was an example of a treacherous role of white privilege within our system. we saw the mcdaniel father and son convicted in killing ahmaud arbery. from the criminal justice perspective, what do you make of these trials? does that reflect change? >> there is reforms to be made. we can look at individual cases or isolated incidents. what i am more concerned about, what i have in place to ensure that justice is truly blind and that all of us are -- under law. that does not mean i do not like police officers. we like police officers who are accountable to their community. we have calmed her stations in a good direction but we are going to continue to see the outcome of the trials we have seen, which is a mixed bag, until we adopt police reform comprehensively so that there is a standard for every jurisdiction, and not 3000 or so standards based on jurisdictions. >> yeah. it sounds like there is work to be don

dani: derek, thank you, that is derek wallbank. now to china, policymakers have moved to ease curbs on real estate and release liquidity. the property market downturn threatens to hamper growth into next year. evergrande is on the brink of default as the race period has technically expired. joining us is rebecca. in what way is the rrr cut, the housing market support, in what ways is the pboc shifting its stance? rebecca: we have seen the first inclinations to ease things up after what has been a barrage of very sober statements from the pboc and various authorities since covid began. when you think about this in comparison with the global market, china as a whole has taken a much more sober stance. but with the latest comments, for example what wasn't mentioned -- we did not hear this comment about property for being living in and not for speculation, which we have heard time and again -- along with the rrr cuts and the focus on stabilizing the economy, i think a lot of people are expecting a little bit of easing. whether that fun

derek, how unusual is this? >> well, i'll tell you, it's bizarre, coming from myself, being a snowboarder, loving to hit the slopes in the mountains, the rockies over the western u.s. but we're coming off of a very small amount of snow for the month of november. but the word "no" into snow. during that month, we didn't capitalize on much winter weather, only 6% is covered in snow. and that continuing to dwindles. so, we have to go all the way to the tropical paradise of hawaii to find our snowfall. it's not unusual to see snowfall, mauna loa, this particular region often seeing snow. when you talk about blizzard warnings, up to a foot of snow, winds gusting up to 100 miles an hour, well, that's when mother nature means business. i need to mention that we have flood watches over much of the arc archipelago here. when you start getting higher in altitude, that's when you see the changeover from, of course, rain to snow. and in fact, some of the satellite imagery showing the snow-capped peaks of mauna loa right the

that was police officer derek chauvin, who knelt on the neck of george floyd, ultimately killing him. in this case, kim potter stood, was almost impassive, simply lowered her head when each of those verdicts was red. the maximum charge for the first-degree manslaughter is 15 years. that is the maximum sentence she could get, and 10 years for the second degree, but there are state guidelines that recommend substantially lesser, and to complement that public eight things even further, if it is just one act you have committed, even if there is more than one sentence generally, you are only sentenced on the higher of those crimes. in any case, because there are mandatory minimum sentences, she is almost certain to spend years in prison. we will find out on february 18. that is when her sentencing is set for. i should mention that outside of the courthouse today was the family of daunte wright, but there were also several people there listening to the verdict from his family, and they burst into tears when the guilty verdicts were called out. >> calls for systemic changes in policing and c

here's of your question for our science correspondent derek williams. why do i need a cold id 19 vaccine if it doesn't prevent me from catching the disease? oh, i think that this question more than any other illustrates how governments and health care authorities have have really struggled with messaging in this pandemic. i'm to answer it. let's go back over some of the stuff that they could have probably communicated better. at 1st, i think, is the fact that despite really great efficacy numbers from clinical trials, the vaccines that we have are not perfect silver bullets. and we should never have expected them to be. what they have so far proved to provide is some very effective short term protection from serious illness and death caused by cove. it, it would be great if that protection were indefinite but, but there are indications that it might be less long term. and then we'd hoped one recent model based study that's gotten some attention, posits that if stars covey to becomes an donek, then re infection and people who got once could on average, o

derek, i read that it's pretty unusual to have tornados during such cold weather. so what is happening here? what is whipping up these extreme storms? >> people don't normally associate december, which is the northern hemisphere winter, with tornados. but we do see tornados in the month of december across the u.s. we average about 23. but to put this severe weather outbreak into perspective, just in a 24-hour period we experienced over 30 touchdowns of twisters across the central and ear united states. several wind reports and large hail reports as well. we had record high temperatures streaming in from the north in the extremely cold air, excuse me, from the north, and record warmth from the south. there's also a strong jet stream in the upper levels of the atmosphere. this kind of triple point, confluence of all these factors, the ingredients necessary to create that severe weather outbreak right where the storm prediction center that is forecast. that bull's-eye friday night. that is exactly where the most tumultuous weather took place. over 100 tornado warnings

what's interesting about that, just a few months ago during the derek chauvin trial, they set a trial verdict has been reached. not sure if that is something to read into, but it stood out to us, especially given the questions the jury asked, but there was disagreement and they were having a hard time reaching a consensus. the court said in their announcement today and "outcome" has been reached, not necessarily a verdict. jacqui and mike? >> mike: garrett, we are showing our viewers images of kim potter on the stand getting very emotional. it'll be interesting to see what the impact of that is on the jurors who are deciding her fate. >> absolutely. that was the final witness in this case, the final images this jury to come over the weekend before the closing arguments. she was very emotional throughout her testimony. and the jurors watching, the folks they have in the courtroom, said they appeared to be looking very intently at her throughout her testimony as she described the moments leading up to the shooting. she described seeing a look of fear in her fellow officers' eyes that sh

a very sensitive time in the united states, and not far from the court where white police officer, derek chauvin, was standing trialfor the murder of a black man, george floyd. let's have a listen to kimberley potter's tearful evidence in court. i remember yelling, "taser, taser, taser!" and nothing happened. and then he told me i shot him. outside the court, daunte wright's mother, katie wright, gave her reaction to the verdict. the moment that we heard "guilty" on manslaughter one — emotions, every single emotion that you could imaginejust running through your body at that moment. i kind of let out a yelp, because it was built up in the anticipation of what was to come while we were waiting for the last few days. and now we've been able to process it, we want to thank the entire prosecution team, we want to thank communities, support, everybody who's been out there who has supported us in this long fight for accountability. well, earlier, we spoke to reverendjim bearjacobs who's close to daunte wright's family and also director for racialjustice for the minnesota council of churches.

we have seen derek chauvin convict it of killing george floyd. we saw kyle rittenhouse acquitted. you said that verdict from wisconsin was an example of "the treacherous role of white supremacy. -- supremacy." and then the conviction in the killing of ahmaud arbery. from a criminal justice perspective, what do you make of these trials that america has watched? does that reflect change? >> some progress, not all of it is convoluted. we have 3000 law enforcement agencies across the country and 3000 different standards of review and accountability. we have district attorneys across the country who are elected. think about ahmaud arbery scenario. an attorney who colluded with those who murdered ahmaud arbery as opposed to represent her district. there's reforms to be made. we can look at individual cases and isolated incidents. i am more concerned about, what are this systems in place to make sure that justice is blind and all of us are afforded equal protection under the law? this by no means means i dislike police officers. they are protecting and serving. we just got to make sure t
