a mediterranean dispute but says it won't accept any preconditions from greece. to give up the main belorussian opposition leader says protesters desire for a democratic transition will not be broken. and historic day for africa as the continent has declared free of the virus that causes only and. welcome to the program the family of a black man shot at least 7 times by police in the u.s. state of wisconsin is calling for calm but demanding justice jacob blake's mother appealed for an end to violent protests broke out in the city of commotion after the shooting on sunday the 29 year old is now power lines from the waist down in the family's lawyer says it will take a miracle for him to walk again blake's father accused the police of attempted murder. they. shot my son.

so this time. something. like he didn't matter. but my son matters. he's a human being and he batted. a correspondent john hendren his life for us in a show mr blake sr was the only one speaking from the family in a town that really is still very tense. that's right there were several members of jacob blake's family who came here to speak this is the 1st time we've seen them come out publicly and express their concern over what has happened one of his sisters came out and she said she's all cried out even before this incident happened because there's been so many shootings of unarmed black men by police and we do believe he was unarmed although we can't

confirm that. she said at this point i don't want pity i just want action. and there was a tearful moment when one of the lawyers was talking about how so i could psychologically damage those 3 boys who were in the car at the time when blake was shot might be in the fact that they might need treatment for the rest of their lives and that the father of blake their grandfather burst out in sobs and had to be walked away and then blake's mother came out julia jackson is her name and she was powerful but very calm and she said on her way driving into the town she saw the devastation there were 37 fires to which firefighters responded last night whole blocks have been decimated matches one night and this is now night 3 of the protests and she said that is not what her son would have wanted this is

what she had to say. please. let's begin to pray for healing for our nation. we are the united states we been united. you understand what's going to happen. when we fall because our house that is against each other and. all of the police officers i'm praying for you. little still real concern because considering what sort of might fulls the civil unrest seems to be good again. that's right and what has happened is the police have focused around this government building area here that courthouse behind me was attacked on the 1st night in there was graffiti on it and today they've been power washing that up yesterday they boarded up the windows but while police were focusing their efforts

here standing out there in riot gear using tear gas and rubber pellets to push back demonstrators who came too close in some cases firing fireworks at them and throwing water bottles across town a group of looters and arsonists were looting the uptown area not far from here and there were 2 blocks of buildings that were just absolutely destroyed most of them will have to be torn down we saw a corrections center a place where people go to talk to officers when they're on probation or have parole that place was burned to the ground. and because of that the city has called in more national guard troops more outside police so tonight we should see the most massive police presence we have seen so far and the police of just admitted that they simply have not had the manpower to control this city but what we saw in minneapolis after the george 'd floyd protests was that when they brought in anough police they were able to shut down those protests although they did so with some

aggressive force and a lot of people were particularly upset about how that happened we'll see what happens here in. force and condition john a divorce the thanks joe. first lady miller trump and secretary of state mike pompei will be the headline speakers on day 2 of the republican national convention on post speech breaks decades of president he recorded his message while on a mission to israel there he recently reminded diplomats they could not take sides in the presidential campaign the mcgraths of opened an investigation into whether pompei was violating federal law. well all one's course but it can be held in washington d.c. . we expect from the lani a trump that she will be as she speaks from the rose garden this the 1st lady that this will strike a more uplifting mood one of promise for the future but again this is

a controversy or rather a convention that has continued to spark controversy you touched on the issue of the secretary of state mike pompei oh speaking and that certainly has raised eyebrows not only because he cautioned diplomats about seeming overtly political but also the fact that this is been recorded a message recorded in jerusalem once again bringing up the concerns and also accusations that this is an administration that is politicizing the u.s. israel relationship so that is a controversial moment no doubt but we also expect to hear in terms of political endorsements from 2 of the president's children eric trump as well as tiffany trump and as i mentioned the president himself and it's kind of interesting what we're hearing is that he'll be appearing in 2 different capacities 1st we expect that he will be presiding over a naturalized nation ceremony to highlight legal immigration and then he will be

issuing what we believe to be a presidential pardon restoring the rights of a convicted felon so these are highly unusual for political conventions but when you take it in the context of the trump presidency which has been unusual to say the least at times the fact that he's a reality show t.v. producer these seem to be made for t.v. moments that have been designed by the president himself james wallace is a senior fellow of governance the think tank the all street institute he says the show's convention is more concerned with appealing to trump's base than communicating with the american people. the american people are concerned they're uncertain they're stress they don't know what's going to happen next and they want the president their president to talk to them and to reassure them and that is partly about tone in generalities but it's also with information with policy information and you're not really seeing that from this administration although i will say that it's part and parcel of

a broader theme that we've seen here from republicans where they're not really talking about policy they didn't even bother to meet to develop a new platform they said we'll just continue the 2016 platform and they added plus will support president trump so there's there's a real lack of information about what this party stands for and why it deserves the votes of the american people he is an unconventional president and by having the secretary might speak and record who he recorded his remarks from jerusalem and they will air tonight at the convention he's betting that he's can get some some credit with the american people by highlighting one of his few foreign policy victories which is the normalization of diplomatic relationship between israel and the u.a.e. and so i think he believes that that's going to outweigh any cost and as for secretary pompei i think it's no secret that he has presidential aspirations of his own and this speech will really make him stand apart from everyone else

particularly because he's not there he's in jerusalem and it's a it's such a unique thing and so he's hoping i will highlight him in a way that will boost him in 2024. well turkey says greece must give up its preconditions before the 2 countries can begin to dialogue over disputed energy resources in the mediterranean the nato allies do not want that history to end up in a military confrontation turkey is calling on the e.u. to doesn't honest and objective mediator a cynical silly reporter from istanbul. turkey and greek warships on alert tensions are high as the 2 countries have been locked in a dispute for weeks of a maritime boundary is that off shore rights. germany for its part is trying to mediate a dispute between the neighbors and nato a life as foreign minister hike of last conducting shuttle diplomacy between athens and ancora earlier on to say most warned of a passable catus for a fender region or severe it's all over the us what we urge and we need are visible
