4:01 pm
the empire richardson, welcome to the show. donald trump is to be formally declared the republican parties of presidential candidates a day after being shot in an assassination attempt to trump is now in the walk in wisconsin for the republican national convention. both trump and president joe biden have called for national unity. the f b, i is still trying to identify a motive for the attack on trump. campaign raleigh in pennsylvania is in a country that gun violence has become a fixture of life. these particular gunshots still act more loudly than usual. the moment the bullets stopped, the conspiracy theories begun flying. the, you know,
4:02 pm
to fill it from us and they can do whatever they can to get rid of trump. and so they have to do, they tries. and so we're here to learn whether or not they're not going to happen in a close to political unity folks, 5 or presidents. joe biden cooled and americans to dial down the rhetoric. there is no place in america, this kind of violence for any violence ever period. or exceptions, we can't allow this violence to be normalized. you know, the political record of this country has gotten very heated time to cool down 2 days after the share too many questions remain. how could an armed attacker gets within shooting range of the former president? did the secret service ignore early warning, some of the audience and what was the motive cleaning of a picture of the shooters emerging, but some information is conflicting. he was
4:03 pm
a member of a local gun club and a registered member of the republican party. but he also donated to democratic cause, as in the past, police believe the weapon he used to shoot to trump belongs to his father and was purchased. the officials also found what they described as a suspicious device in the shoot. this vehicle has been decided by bomb technicians with bad supporters of the former president have been housing gatherings around the country outside trump tower, new york crowds phones to show that support was strong. trump is now in milwaukee attending the republican national convention outside the venue. his supporters, how the vigil trump himself said he wants to use this historic commitment to bring
4:04 pm
the country together. ramifications of the assassination attempt and not yet fully known. budget as most definitely raised the stakes for this year's election dramatically. and i'd like to bring in robert pate professor of political science at the university of chicago and director of the chicago project on security and threats as work as cover the january, 6th storm and of the west capital and suicide terrorism. a warm welcome to d, w. last monday, i understand you conducted a nationwide pull that's found that 10 percent of those surveyed said that the use of force is justified to prevent trump from becoming president. what do those results tell you about the state of american democracy? uh uh, well, they tell us that we are a tinderbox of a country and they tell us that this is not getting bad or we're not getting better, it's getting if anything worse. and in fact, that specific survey which we conducted at the end of june, we got those results about 10 percent of the american public thing via wants to
4:05 pm
stop from becoming president is justified. i began to of a brief law enforcement about that because i was specifically worried about an assassination attempt against donald trump. so i'm sorry to say that that survey was a harbinger of exactly what, what happened here on saturday. and we have to take now very seriously other parts of the survey as well. then found 70 percent of american adults support the use of force to restore donald trump to the presidency. in other words, there are radical wings here in our public. their radical wings up against trump radical wings for trump. and now we have the possibility going forward that this event could be a catalyst to retaliatory violence. um, uh, from our radical trump supporters to cycles of buy one. so we have in rising political violence and the year of this since the summer of 2020 with the
4:06 pm
riots and the george boyd protest. and now we have a problem that this could get worse in the next 6 months. can you put that into perspective for us a little bit more, i mean, manual point to the fact that the us has a long history of political violence. so. so how much has it increased in recent years and what exactly have been the catalyst? uh yeah. so, um, since the summer of 2020 so in uh, during the pandemic, we had a 10 percent of the public march as part of the george boy protests in over a 100 major cities in the united states. weekly daily. this went on for months, 7 to 10 percent of those protests were riots burning police stations and so forth and so on. then uh, 6 on, uh, 6 months after that we had the capitol hill ride, were thousands of pro tron supporters store on the capital to stop the peaceful
4:07 pm
transfer of power to jo by in the last year we have had pro palestinian pro, a mos protests on literally dozens and dozens of major college campuses across the united states that a portion of which turned a violent, they stormed the buildings they occupied buildings, they threw bricks and many acts of violence that occurred. and that occurred as late as just a month ago because these, these are campus protests went on for quite some time and 2 different routes. we've also had a whole string of wolf attacks that have occurred. we've had an uptick against the rest, the members of congress. so we are in an era in the united states of political violence, the likes of which we have not seen since the 1960. so yes, we've had occasional of events here, but the 19 sixty's was the last time we saw anything like what we're seeing today, perhaps important distress. but you've said that this is a french minority of americans who,
4:08 pm
who see the benefit of political violence here. although it does feel like a very dangerous moment, is there something that can be done to help cooler heads for video and pressure spiraling? yes, and you're already seeing that this is happening here on both sides of the aisle. right now. the most important thing is 4 political leaders from the president and the presidential candidates all the way down to mirrors. that's governor senators and so forth, both sides of the aisle to strongly condemn political alliance, even if it comes from their own side. that is the hard part, the, it's easy for a politician to condemn violence if it happens by somebody else. so it's easy right now for republicans to condemn the assassination attempt against donald trump. the hard part has been for president biden, and which he has done to come out multiple times to condemn this event. because no matter how you slice a, this is a, this isn't an attack against his political opponents. and so this is what has to
4:09 pm
happen now going forward if there are um, not just on a day, but basically on a weekly basis. we need this to continue and it needs that happened in video, not just simply with press releases by a press a. so this is an incredibly precarious moment for america's democracy. and it's not just a moment defined as a week or a day. this will go on through the election. this will go on in the month after the election. this tends period will not simply disappear on itself. right? i call for a direct appeal from our political leaders in the united states from robert pope. thank you so much for speaking with us. he is a professor of political science at the university of chicago, or wanda is, are voting to elect a president with the veteran liter paul. com. i expect it to secure a nother victory. holes have opened for both presidential and parliamentary elections because i'll be facing the same 2 opponents as in the last election is

4:19 pm
hi, thank you for, for having me. the biggest challenge for male, tell us to me, testing asylum seekers would be 1st to get into the shelter system for asylum seekers as a single man. you are not given access to this reception that's work on the day of your assignment of technician. and then the 2nd one you, one you want to in, once you are in reception, network is getting a decision on average. it takes more than a year to get a decision on your asylum claim. even though, in the case of people from guys i, it is quite obvious that they are in need of protection. and the policy is, who fled the cause of strep. do have a pretty good chance of being granted asylum in belgium. why do you think it's taking so long to approve their status? this is simply because we have a lot of pending files also from the asylum seekers from other countries. and even
4:20 pm
though from the outset is quite clear to tell us the news from guys are required protection. there is still an individual investigation for every person applying for it asylum. and this individual investigation takes time. and that is one of the reasons why it lasts. so long and we can only hope that this backlog will be decreased in the near future. and can you tell us a little more detail about what it means when these decisions are delayed? what does it look like when it takes, for example, a young man time to get into the system and to find housing as well before getting into housing. you either have the option to survive on the streets if you have no other solution. or you can try and squat a building or live with friends that are a lot of people in brussels with sleep industries whilst awaiting a decision on their asylum claim. once you're in the reception network, all you can do is wait until you have that final decision on your asylum claim. and
4:21 pm
before that decision, your life is put on hold. you can work, but that is it. apart from that, you have no idea. if you can stay in belgium and you can also know start the family reunification procedure for family you have a living and god for example, because that is only possible once you receive a positive decision on your asylum plate. so like really remains in limbo as you say. and that report we saw some, some examples of people in belgium, really helping palestinian refugees at hotel owner. for example, when you look at belgium society more widely, how welcoming would you say people have been it's difficult to gauge. i would say um, overall, there is sympathy for people from palestine of course, simply because it is so obvious that this is a very unfair conflict for palestinians from guys that receipt safety. but on the
4:22 pm
other hand, we do see that the overall support for asylum seekers in general when the reception has been decreasing, even though we saw that there is room for supports for people who have to leave their homes in the case of ukrainians. so it really depends for who and on what moment. but overall i would say that there is possibility for support that, that we just need to, to better grasp this support tend to better to use the support. now looking ahead, when you speak to refugees who you're helping in belgium today to be planned to stay in belgium once the war comes to an end, typically. or i must say that at this point in time, most palestinians that we need to not look that far into the future. they are really concerned with the present because a lot of the palestinians from guys, i still have family members living in guys. i will have to live to bombs falling on
4:23 pm
their houses and we offer meet people whose home has just been destroyed the day before. so they are really concerned with getting their family members out of gaza either to family reunification if they have the possibility to do so. or to other means like it is very inform the travel agency in egypt that's thousands use to leave the gaza strip, which is already very a difficult task. and then obtaining a visa from belgium is another difficult task. so it's really to focus on today getting your family out and then they will see what happens next. well, thank you so much for speaking with us today on t w. that is at thomas wilkins with a flanders refugee action. we're very much appreciate your time. my pleasure. sports news now and the plain caring, the spanish football team has just touched down in madrid. they are going to be
4:24 pm
welcomed home by hundreds of thousands of fans following their to one victory against england. in this years european championships the teams that a new record in the tournament by winning all 7 of their matches without penalties . they also made football history by becoming the 1st nations when the heroes for a 4th time and let's speak to our correspondent nicole reese in madrid at the center of the action. really, nicole, we now have climbed to that top of the european mountain. they are champions, once again our people been celebrating so people have been celebrating him outrageously, really. that was already yet the night, but today the team is going to have such a warm welcome here. i believe that will be as you set hundreds of thousands of people just wanting to celebrate this victory. it's historic. this is now the most successful male football team here in europe 4 times 0
4:25 pm
a cup. that's quite something also 15 goals that was scored in these past weeks. that's another record. so people are very keen on celebrating with a team. the team 1st needs to meet king philip, who they already saw yesterday because he was the one that gave the prize. then they will have to meet with a spanish prime minutes to say that essentials as well, but then it's really hard to time. everybody's super proud here and really over the moon you can really feel it. although it has been quite quiet monday morning because probably most people have football hang over today. okay, so quite the celebrations, quite the reception they're receiving. they're in madrid. spain didn't come into this tournament as paper, but they, they did went all 7 of their matches as we've heard. what do you think made this team stand out above the rest as well? this team sends out it's a young team. it's a culture. and the also more diverse team in the past, and they have a really good strain. oh,
4:26 pm
that's what everybody says. probably they hadn't really good training me good enough when to knows what he wants from his team. and they're not putting on the show really when you watch the yesterday's game, for example, then not more most about the see a reticle pod sump. sometimes there's lots of, you know, show in there they just going after it. and most of the time that we're playing on the english side trying to hit that goal. i mean, the english team didn't have much, much, much chance to get on the other side. very determined. the very energetic and it's a very young team. is this something really fresh and good for spain, of course, and that's going to be huge celebrations later. well, thank you so much federal court. i enjoyed them. that is nicole reese for us in madrid. just before we go, then a quick reminder of our top story at this hour to the day after being shot and an assassination attempt to donald trump. isn't it? milwaukee, for the republican national convention, trump will be formally declared the parties, presidential candidate, the f. b. i is yet to identify a motive for the attack and
