The release of the policeman accused of suffocating George Floyd with his knee seems to be a long way off.  An American judge set the minimum level at one million dollars to release the police officer from custody.

The 44-year-old former agent, detained in a high-security prison, appeared on Monday in a video link, in an orange detainee's outfit, on a screen, in a courtroom of a court in  Minneapolis, in the northeastern United States, reports AFP.

 In a neutral tone, Derek Chauvin answered questions from Judge Jeannice Reding, agreeing to lay down his arms and refrain from appearing in person.

 He is charged with the asphyxiation two weeks ago of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American, on whose neck he held his knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds.

Images of the drama, filmed by a passer-by, went viral on the Internet and sparked a wave of protests around the world.

 During the hearing, Judge Reding of Hennepin County set the bail amount at $ 1 million and several conditions or $ 1.25 million unconditionally if Chauvin wants to be released on parole until trial.

 In her order, the judge listed the terms of a $ 1 million bail, including a ban on contacting George Floyd's family, restitution of any firearms license, a waiver of firearms, and a ban on working in the field of order maintenance.

US President-elect Joe Biden, Democrat, who takes office on January 20, has unveiled a plan to stimulate the economy amid a nearly $ 1.9 trillion pandemic, Reuters reported.

Biden proposed spending about $ 1 trillion in direct aid to households, $ 440 billion in helping small businesses hardest hit by the pandemic, and $ 415 billion in pandemic control and vaccinations.

Joe Biden believes that US residents need to be paid $ 1,400 in addition to the $ 600 previously approved in the US Congress. He also proposed increasing the amount of supplementary unemployment insurance from $ 300 to $ 400 per week. This generated a lot of memes, Bemorepanda collected them all.
