founders deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities many of these people have no idea why they're doing this but some know exactly what they are doing they think the american people are weak and soft and submissive. but know the american people are strong and proud and they will not allow our country. and all of its values history and culture to be taken from them. but it's bringing rosen jordan who is just outside washington d.c. in alexandria virginia i suppose this is a typical trump in speech ignoring the tone of the nation no mention of racial injustice and police brutality but saying this council culture campaign was a left wing revolution to destroy the american revolution in american freedoms and

how much was this a political call to arms by the president. well it was a political call to arms but i would imagine that as people wake up here in the united states in the next 6 to 8 hours they're going to hear what the president had to say and they're going to point out a couple of facts 1st that a lot of the statues that have been targeted by anti-racism protesters were in fact then removed by local government and the other factor is that these statues in large part basically celebrated people who fought for the confederacy which sought to in shrines of slavery as a political and economic reality in the southern half of the united states and those statues were raised not in the 19th century but in the middle of the 20th century during the last prominent wave of civil rights activities in this country now that doesn't matter to donald trump he's running for reelection his numbers are down and certainly before

a crowd of people who can only be described as some of his perhaps most ardent supporters the president had this to say about those who sit on the other side. one of their political weapons is canceled culture driving people from their. shaming just and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees this is the very definition of totalitarian. let's not forget it's the 4th of july but seemingly americans have very little to celebrate over the holidays you got the coronavirus pandemic high unemployment mass protests over racial inequality so how is all of this playing out politically to trump with an election just about 5 months away. well certainly you would think that when you're marking the united states birthday independence day being july 4th that you would

expect to hear u.s. president deliver a message of unity instead speech at mount rushmore us versus them there doesn't seem to have been any will attempt to try to bridge the differences between the various facets of the u.s. population particularly when it comes to retelling history deciding what facts are accurate what facts are simply conjecture and opinion and there certainly was no recognition of the fact that within a matter of days there could be a new death toll from the covert $900.00 pandemic the toll right now daryn sits just below 130000 all right john ralston jordan in alexandria virginia ross thank you for that. well as we've been saying americans are less than 5 months away from a presidential election but many of them are unhappy with the state of the nation drum's been criticized for his handling of the pandemic after another day of record rise the number of new cases the total number of people infected is close to

2800000 is the highest in the world and 130 people have died. after an historic rise in unemployment figures things have improved over the past 2 months but 14700000 americans are still jobless and what it was during world war 2 and america witnessed its biggest protest against racial injustice since the civil rights movement in the 1960 s. that's often a black american george floyd died in police custody in minneapolis in may. well james warren is the executive editor of news god and was the chicago tribune's managing editor in charge of the washington bureau he says the president's speech a sort of total disregard for the health crisis facing the country this was very much as trumping as it gets and you took this iconic backdrop and you had the president clearly in a somewhat self-absorbed way likening him self to those who are great folks and doing it as you will notice without a mask everybody on that stage and most of the people seemingly in the audience at

mass on a day in which we have began broken national records for folks tested positive and even we've learned in the last hour the girlfriend of one of the president's children one of his sons has herself tested positive so i think this was tended to be very much red meat for his supporters people in an area like this and it was you know by trompe and standards rather rhetorically bombastic as having you know likened protesters people who symbolize the values that those who are great presidents i do symbolized he's like mean then to fascism totalitarians brazil's president john bolton are a watered down and all requiring the wearing of mosques in public places both and are used his veto power to remove the obligation for people to wear mosques in shops and churches he says the rule was unconstitutional brazil has more than one of the half 1000000 cases it's the 2nd worst affected country the united states.

could violate privacy rights but for now it's saving lives that takes priority doctors say more testing is needed to identify anyone who may have the virus or come into contact with an infected person. as. more than $180.00 rescued migrants and refugees are waiting on board a charity ship out of both malta and italy refused the boat commission's a dock rescue workers on the ocean viking say many of the people are in acute mental distress some expressing a desire to harm themselves or commit suicide and are rescued in 4 different operations in the past week while attempting the dangerous crossing from libya to italy frederic pernod is director of operations for s.o.s. mediterranean which operates the ocean viking he says the charity can't be sure it can keep control of the situation on board. it's very unprecedented to us because it's the 1st time in more than 4 years of operation that we reach such a such

a level of anxiety and and such a situation and all the station is very simple we've we've rescued people in the central mediterranean in the areas of responsibility of both malta and italy for some of them this was one week ago already more than one week ago they are now 180 people and they've come from libya where they said a lot they've been drifting at sea for 4 days and now they're left for days in a ship which is 60 meters long without nothing in perspective and. that mental health thing to do to be extremely extremely worrying that there are i mean we have psychological people which we talk psychological disorder that. stretching to suicide themselves so yes the tension is extremely high and this is the reason that lead that led to the vessel to declare the state of emergency we haven't received yet any concrete proposal to to find a solution we requested earlier this morning the medical evacuation of gravely

these or the people which has not been granted so yes we are left in limbo to some extent. i should remind that since the 1st rescue more than a week ago we've been keeping them a storage unit in mt are very well informed at any step and asked for as maritime law demands asked for for all of safety which was not granted and was refusing to die and so at the moment we are left without any solution with the kind of emergency situation on board because it is a situation that we cannot guarantee we can control at any moment. also it's coming on al-jazeera including we're not out of the woods yet so the message from the u.k. prime minister's pubs prepared to reopen despite the coronavirus to killing more than a 100 britons a day. hiding in a luxury home in the woods and using a fake war about 9 months now to rescue or not stay with us.

hello there the usual theme this time of year across much of the middle east and the arabian peninsula it is hot it is dry and of course also fairly dusty now the last few hours you can see what a bundle of work its way on to central areas of amman we have of course in the last few days had some dust on say but also about some pretty strong thunderstorms from time to time not a great deal of that in the forecast over the next few days and cools very hot generally but also holes into southern pakistan these boys actually making use of a broken pipe so we're actually cooling off in the waters now as we go through saturday another very warm day harajuku have 39 degrees celsius because hot is still when you head back across the towards for example iraq 47 degrees the winds a fairly brisk coming through the interior and also that means a very hot day in kuwait a high the a 49 degrees the winds are quite brisk and falling further southwards although

a little bit less for shall we say in doha on sunday with a high of 43 degrees maybe some showers across in the far west of yemen of the next couple of days and then into southern africa plenty of activity through most central areas particularly around the gulf of guinea these are heavy downpours working their way west towards all the time no bad on saturday across much of a south africa we could see a few showers into cape town on sunday but all the while showers st coast. right they were up to the coast of somalia. talk to 02000 let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen we listen this is the moment to stop all really very action this is the moment also to write on fighting over why did we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the old is there a. revealing eco friendly solutions to come back

u.n. special report or agnes color might say as it's much better than the closed door trial held in saudi arabia late last year we have not moved the killing of german into a formal setting that the international community can recognize because the trial in saudi arabia could not be given a credibility and legitimacy it towards helping secret. and the key perpetrate to those that with the world who commissioned the crimes were not indicted just turkish fiance had to judging its hopes the case will offer new clues to the whereabouts of his remains to be trust in turkish justice processes now because our search for justice will continue in turkey as well as everywhere else we can question because murder remains a horrific crime against a journalist if the suspects from saudi arabia are convicted they could face possible life sentences but without they were arrests and their physical presence

here they are unlikely to serve any prison time in tricky column are to points out to the fact that saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man has not been inducted in a previous report cheer released the un special report or have called for an investigation into when someone suspected in the killing the one country that has claimed to have the evidence about mohammed. ben soloman of responsibility easy united states a tease. i am and so far the process. undertaken by the american congress to get to the button all the information as has been hampered to over by the white house call i want to say is the power of this trial should not be underestimated but says more countries need to show support for
