al jazeera. approaches grown in the u.s. state of wisconsin after police shoot a black man a curfew has been declared for the city of kosher. alarms around when you're watching al-jazeera life my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 30 minutes donald trump accuses democrats of trying to steal the upcoming u.s. election as his party nominates him as its presidential candidate but. also the e.u. demands an independent investigation after doctors confirm

a prominent russian opposition leader was poisoned also. i can't. you get yourself ready to take them off if you want instant be their only crime. was. relatives and survivors confront the gunman behind last year's massacre to new zealand prosecutors say he planned even more killings. welcome to the program another police shooting in the u.s. is sparking a new wave of protests the latest incident happened in closure wisconsin hundreds of people are marching in new york following the incident on sunday now they're demanding justice and renewing pledges to keep the black lives matter movement going and can osha more demonstrations are planned for 2 of the incident shows

officers firing at jacob blake apparently in front of his children the 29 year old is in hospital in a serious condition chad hedrick is our correspondent live for us from that can ocean at the strength of public feeling john it's evident where you are and they want the authorities to know that. that's right this is the the latest scene that we've seen like this across the u.s. where a black man has been shot by police officers and now that is sent off to days of protests here and what's going on right now is you've got a black lives matter and others protest here behind me and if you look just over their heads you might just be able to see these sheriff's officers in swat gear they are protecting this courthouse which was vandalized yesterday there are things written on it such as they kill us because they fear us and so one of the police

checks the tactics as of last night was to bring in these vehicles these are garbage trucks and you can see the wind is have been smashed out some of them have been burned down so 125 national guardsmen have been called out in addition to the local police force to try to prevent that from happening tonight there's a curfew at 8 o'clock that's in about 2 hours but it doesn't look like this crowd is showing any signs of dispersing anytime soon and based on what we've seen with the george floyd protests in minneapolis and across the u.s. these protesters want to break that curfew they want to send a message that they control the streets not the police and that's what they just did a few minutes ago by taking a march around this neighborhood and shutting down streets saying who streets our streets this is likely to go on for hours now of course where does this leave the investigation should. the shooting of mr blake.

well a couple of officers have been relieved of their duties. the mayor was surrounded by some of these very protesters a little while ago and he was trying to say that there would be an investigation but the crown demanded both that the officers be fired and that they face charges based on what we've seen in that 20 seconds or so a video chilling video in which you have jacob blake walking around his own car 3 of his children unseen inside of the car and then you've got the officers following him and eventually firing those shots so that has set off the latest in this round of protests here but the mayor said it's they'll do an investigation there will be an examination as to whether charges are justified and if they are those charges will be brought but if there's one thing we learned from the george floyd case it's that that takes at least days in record time in the george floyd

case they came out with charges 4 days after the incident against the 1st of the officers and then just a couple days later against 3 others often those kinds of investigations against police take months and it's only clear what exactly will happen here but it is clear these protests are likely to go on until something happens 200 inclusion of wisconsin thank you. the republican national convention has opened in charlotte north carolina with president donald trump claiming democrats want to steal the election well this year the republican party has not published its own platform instead they're going to blanket support for trump's agenda now the convention is crucial as trump seeks to reverse his slump in opinion polls and he was on the attack during a surprise appearance 7. if you want to really drive him

crazy you say 12 more years. we caught them doing some really bad things in 2016 see what happens we caught him doing some really bad things we have to be very careful because they're trying it again with this hill 80000000 mail in ballots that they're working on. sending him out to people that didn't ask for it ines they just get him and it's not fair and it's not right a white house correspondent kimberly how could joins me now from washington d.c. good talking with kimberly i mean the g.o.p. was not the virtual convention that we saw like the democrats rather the reverse people present to hear the president and they're going to be hearing him not just once this week. yeah that's right and maybe not even just once today what we're learning from the white house is that the president is likely to appear in the

evenings events at the republican national convention via some sort of video link from here at the white house what we understand is that this will be a chance to highlight some of his foreign policy achievements but you're right this is a pared down in person convention a sharp contrast to the democratic national convention of a week ago this is an opportunity not only for the president to reinvigorate his base and try to as you point out prove those sagging poll numbers but also to sell a message and a vision one that up until now many argue the president has been lacking in terms of a clear focus for what he would achieve if he was awarded a 2nd term but he says among other things not only will he very bring back jobs but also that he will defend the police and expand school choice for millions of children and of course the president hitting sort of the same topics we assume but he's been talking about these last few months and again we touched on again the election being rigged with no evidence he's really underlining and trying to build

a foundation of doubt over the presidential election that's worrying everybody really. oh well to be fair both sides have really flying a bit of mud if you will with regard to the election results so it seems clear no matter who wins there are void to be some who are going to cast doubt on it but there's no question that when it comes to mail in voting specifically that the u.s. president with very little evidence has said that this is something that is certainly right for fraud that this is an opportunity for many to cast extra ballots and that there's really no way of verifying it so this is better for current theme the other that has just come down in the last few moments in the version or rather in the form of a tweet by the u.s. president is this notion that joe biden if elected president would shut the country down referring to some of the shutdowns that have already occurred with cope with

that team that of course destroyed american jobs millions of american jobs many now looking to the next president to bring those jobs back but there's no question this president play fear tactics to try and get americans to vote for him over the opium military what happens on the convention committee how it is all washington white house correspondent thanks kimberly. the u.s. postmaster general has assured us that operational changes to the postal service will low suspects mail in voting for this year's presidential election appearing before politicians lou to join defended his decision to introduce cost saving measures to the u.s.p.s. ahead of november's poll but critics accuse the trouble of trying to undermine the vote as part of this conversation there were many in accuracies about my actions that i wish to again correct 1st i did not direct the removal of blue collection boxes or the removal of mail processing equipment 2nd i did not direct

the cutback on hours that any of our postal post offices and finally i did not direct the elimination or any cutback in overtime. i did however suspend these practices to move to remove any misperceptions about our commitment to delivering the nation's election match any further assertions by the media or elected officials is furthering that false narrative to the american people the german chancellor angela merkel has called on russia to investigate these suspected poisoning of opposition leader alexina valley and to hold them accountable doctors in germany have confirmed test results show the kremlin critic was poisoned he's now in an induced coma at a hospital in berlin after being transferred from siberia on sunday the long time opponent of president vladimir putin a collapsed on a plane on thursday after he reportedly drank a cup of tea at tomsk airport dominic cain is following developments from the

german capital. the doctors treating alex in our valley have been quite categorical about what they believe is the cause of his ordeal they say that there is a toxin a poison in his system which has laid him low they say they don't believe that this is life threatening now but they can't guarantee that he's going to be able to recover fully from the extent of his ordeal the specific poison in his system belongs to a family of chemicals which have very few civilian therapeutic applications only for conditions such as dementia or alzheimer's disease and we know that mr nardelli has never complained of suffering from those conditions in which case you have to consider the other applications for this poison and that is pesticides and then nerve agents that's to say chemical weapons the point about this is that this revelation about poison in his system has prompted

a reaction from the german government with the foreign minister and the chancellor angela merkel making a joint statement in which they call upon the authorities in russia fully to investigate what caused this to happen to do so in a transparent manner and then to bring to account to bring to justice those responsible for the ordeal that mr nardelli has now been going through for several days alexandra's to be on the verge of god fry is a journalist based in moscow she has more of what the russian doctors have to say. what they're saying is that the valley didn't have clinical symptoms that they're characteristic of intoxication with the current there is inhibitors what they're also saying is they did test for death and found nothing a one of the doctors that was flown in from a moscow to help treat mine and to help determine what is what is wrong with him what happened to him also says that he didn't hear anything new from from germany

what he says is that they also from the start started to get in the top into an advise me that they all sort or thieve might be a what is that now the diagnosis of the german doctors but they moved from there since a lab results came negative on the possible toxins that would cause this state so what he's also pointing out is that look also german labs didn't find the specific stories unlike ours did and on the other hand the finest family irrational position in general is saying we were telling you from the start this will spoil and in what we were suspecting now is confirmed by a known german clinic and what they now want is a thorough investigation. full still have his own al-jazeera the u.s. gulf coast is bracing for the worst as not one but 2 powerful storms had their way in miami also talks in mali failed to secure a transitional government but military leaders behind last week's coup did agree to

one key demand we'll tell you what is straight up to the boy. hello the horse and drive across the west of the united states because that is where the wildfires just destroying major parts of california meanwhile across into the gulf we are watching what is a tropical storm making landfall cheese day on into wednesday but out across the west this is what of course we have seen now for days and days on end this is actually in napa valley and this footage was taken by a driver trying to make that journey through this particular roadway in napa valley and you can see what they were driving through or at times what they could not say in a course eventually they reached a point they could not go any further they have to tell us how dangerous these fires are still the weather conditions the same hot dry gusty winds right california up into oregon across into nevada we could have some old dry lightning

that of course sparks these fires the 3 to say it'll be the marco working its way of course that made landfall by choose say it worked its way west was across the the coast of louisiana and then we've got laura hot on the heels as we go through tuesday and wednesday vast system laura is actually expected to become a hurricane by then of course marco will have dissipated let me just show you them both a little more clearly certainly as we go through choose day lure of pushing away from cuba into these will more says this is where i'm expected to strengthen into a hurricane meanwhile those rains continue with mako as in these west along into texas. history has called it the great war in the final episode the 2 sides fight themselves to a standstill while britain and france conspire behind closed doors to produce a secret agreement that will shape the middle east for the century to come world war one through our guy he's on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera where every. charge is there with me so robin a reminder of our top news stories the shooting of a black man in the u.s. state of wisconsin has started another wave of protests from can osha to new york black lives about to demonstrators are demanding justice after 29 year old was shot 7 times by police on sunday. and delicate the u.s. republican national convention her family renominated donald trump is that candid

the president made a surprise appearance of the event in north carolina numbers on the attack claiming democrats want to steal the election. the european union is calling for an independent investigation into the suspected poisoning of russian opposition leader alexina valley doctors in germany have confirmed that the kremlin critic was poisoned. the opposition coordination council is committed to forming a transitional government despite several of its members being detained by police around 200000 protesters defied soldiers deployed in the capital minsk on sunday to continue their demands for the resignation of the president alexander lukashenko he's been in power for 26 years is accused of rigging the election earlier this month maria cardona scoffer is a member of the coordination council she says the group isn't afraid. to stand

there. we constantly experience this kind of pressure but it doesn't scare me or make me stop doing what i'm doing now on the contrary it unites us more the fact that there are more applications to become members after the opening of the criminal case on charges of undermining national security shows that bella russians are united we are now stronger than ever in our will to express the people's will. u.s. deputy secretary of state stephen begonias in they bring to the way in here where he met with the belorussian opposition leaders of atlanta the kind of scholar so vast and more of the significance of their meeting from minsk it was a remarkable visit today by the deputy secretary of state of the united states to sideline a to can of sky in their lithuania it was the 1st sign of the united states that there was some visible involvement in the standoff between the president look and the opposition in belarus which is now entering its 3rd week so far the focus has

been on the russian involvement here in the ballot was there was a lot of fear there. had asked for military assistance from russia which so far has not materialized but the involvement of the united states and also the visit of the deputy secretary to morrow to moscow could make this balance more and more equal. 2 tropical storms opposing a back to back threat to the u.s. state of louisiana tropical storm marco is to make landfall late on monday and the governor says water won't have time to recede before tropical storm laura arrives and that's currently passing over the caribbean it's already responsible for 11 deaths and the gala gala is live for us in miami monitoring events there the weather is always unpredictable at this time of the year and the but when 2 storms are heading in the gulf many millions of people will be worried in the region. yeah it's a pretty unprecedented situation if these were 2 tornadoes it would be the 2 hurricanes

i should say this would be the 1st time in recorded history that has happened but we've got some good news in that tropical still marco is basically disintegrating as it comes towards the coastline of louisiana but as it moves westward it could be as little as 12 to 24 hours before tropical storm laura turns from a tropical storm into a powerful tornado possibly even up to as high as a category 3 and slams into the same coast on isn't just louisiana gets into the crosshairs in also texas and there are lots of low lying communities in all those areas along those coast they are no stranger to this kind of weather but the key thing as people now track tropical storm laura is as it leaves cuba it will go into the warm waters of the gulf of mexico that is essentially fuel for a tropical storm which is why focus is saying it will pick up speed and power potentially hitting those coast lines as a category 2 or

a category 3 now in both those states mandatory evacuation orders have been put in place for low lying communities and there are plenty of them in both of those states but the cone of uncertainty at the moment is somewhere between houston and new orleans so this is being watched very closely by 4 classes and millions of people who live in both of those states so the essential thing is a double whammy may happen the thankful thing is that tropical still marco now seems to be weakening quite rapidly nonetheless if hurricane laura does fall it can and will pose a serious threat to both the states before the update thanks very much i think i'll have that in miami for us. well in california firefighters all racing to prepare for more lightning storms that could worsen hundreds of wildfires dry lightning has sparked more than $600.00 blazes since mid august including the 2nd and 3rd largest fires in the state's history at least 7 people have died and always a quarter of a 1000000 people have been ordered to evacuate well weeks of trench rain and flash
