hurricane nora heads towards texas there's a warning storm surges could be unsurvivable plus. as protests grow in cities in bellerose there's more trouble for president lukashenko this support in rural areas is beginning to wane. u.s. president donald trump says the national guard are on their way to suppress the black lives matter protest and can osha there's been 3 nights of unrest in wisconsin after police shot an unarmed black man a 17 year old has been arrested accused of shooting 2 people dead video footage showed a young white man opening fire in the middle of the street with a semiautomatic rifle the local sheriff has extended a nightly curfew we're not going to put up with what we saw monday night we're not going to is that mean we're going to stop it all. it comes on numbers that come

we're not to be able to stop but we're going to be assertive in helping to protect the city of the ocean. in our neighbors from around the county state and country are here to help too john hendren joins us live now from konoha john so what more do we know about this 17 year old suspect has been arrested and his involvement in the shooting of protesters. well police say his name is kyle rittenhouse sheriff's officers arrested him across the border from wisconsin in illinois he's from the town of antioch and they they say that he is the shaggy haired figure we see in video on social media carrying an assault weapon lying on the ground at one point in some kind of confrontation with protesters and then he gets up in a if this is indeed him. the figure in that video fires at several

people striking at least 3 killing 2 of them and sending one to the hospital with injuries from which he is expected to recover that is about all we know right now now what we do know is that yesterday there were a number of. kemah flawed camouflage clad people who were carrying assault weapons and side arms and they said that they were going to help enforce the peace around konoha police have said they didn't want that help they'd been asked if they wanted to deputize some of these people and they said absolutely not that was a bad idea so it's possible that this young man was part of that group it's also possible that he was pulling security at one of these places that was afraid of being looted or firebomb so that say about all we know about that figure but that really does reflect the escalation of the violence here in the streets of no shit where every night we have had fire bomb. and looting and on one night alone

the firefighters responded to 37 different blazes and john city officials in kind of gave a press conference earlier what more did they have to say on what's been happening to the policeman who shot jacob blake in the 1st place. well the american said he had a 2 part message one they were not going to put up with violence any more and so hundreds more local state and federal police are coming into town and he said is the 2nd part of his message is that they will work to resolve the racial issues here in the town of konoha a small city of about 100000 people that was really never expecting to be in the middle of this kind of a global spotlight as for the police officer right now as we speak the attorney general's office of the state of wisconsin is preparing or possibly already beginning a news conference in which they are updating the status of the investigation into

the officers who shot jacob blake on sunday paralyzing him in a car in front of his 3 children who were in that car and then setting off this latest series of demonstrations against police brutality what will happen to those officers we don't know but we do know that the family and the demonstrators are all asking that officers be fired that day be charged with a crime as a result of this and the demonstrators say they are not going to stop marching in the streets until they have some resolution on that or the john hendren live for us there in wisconsin john thank you well action against racial injustice is also spread to american sport the n.b.a. has postponed all of wednesday's playoff games that stopped the milwaukee bucks boycotted that match against the orlando magic the box players made the decision in the aftermath of the shooting of jacob blake. but democratic presidential nominee

joe biden has promised justice for jacob blake in a video statement biden said he had spoken to the 27 year old's family and that the video showing blake being shot made him sick the presidential hopeful has backed peaceful protests against police brutality but warned against needless violence. but bar on down for all raise a professor of political science at jackson state university he says there needs to be an adequate political response to the violence where there may be some low i guess hesitancy if you will on the 2. candidates the 1968 you know as well the double the year that like a man of the cave was assassinated and once he was assassinated african-americans took the streets in protest just as americans do in terms of almost political participation and those photos got violent the point that needs to be made here i guess is that there used to be. no soul if you will the problem systemic racism

issues have evolved and now they have been eliminated with the death of george lowered but now there needs to be some you know implementation we know what needs to be done but now we need to execute particularly we need to. figure out what it is that where we can minimize black people in america is being a threat simply because of the way they look. here's why as president mike pence will make his case to voters at the republican national convention later on wednesday night a socially distance audience of our 100 people are expected to watch and deliver his speech from fort mchenry in maryland other speakers on day 3 will include pence his wife karen and civil rights advocate clarence anderson let's go live now to our

white house correspondent kimberly halkett kennedy so mike pence will be giving his keynote speech later from fort mchenry was he chosen this location and what are we expecting to hear from the vice president. well i'll start with the latter part of that question 1st what we're expecting to hear from him will be according to the white house in the campaign a forward looking speech one that projects optimism also laying out the goals of a 2nd trump administration term so this is something that the white house says they will lay out the economic successes in also how to overcome some of the challenges economically presented by cope with 19 now that also brings up the fact one that is glaring for so many americans is that cope with 19 has hurt just proportionately so many americans particularly in the lower income brackets and as head of the coronavirus task force mike pence sort of symbolizes what many americans see as a failure to do more to help those that are hurting the most now with respect to

the location of the speech that is also significant this fort mchenry was the inspiration for the star-spangled banner which is the american national anthem but this is tiley as well when you look at the social unrest that's taking place right now many americans now choose to take a knee when the national anthem is being played in protest of the police treatment of many minorities in this country and so it's certainly what we expect from the vice president is taking on the issue of patriotism in the midst of social unrest will be another theme that will be brought to the fore in his speech and kimberly the romance in can osha wisconsin have taken up much of the headlines across the country president trump of course wasted no time in declaring he was sending in reinforcements to quell the protests presumably he sees this as the perfect chance to show he's being tough on wrong order. absolutely that is the underlying

theme of this entire republican convention and we should point out it is what this is ministration feels will be its distinction between its opposition the democrats namely joe biden and camila harris so what we expect from mike pence is that he will condemn the killing of jacob blake but at the same time well also say that the administration does not condone the violence that is taking place that is hurting small businesses many of the minority own so expect that the law and order theme will be a very strong focus of the evening as again the white house says it sets out to strike an optimistic tone in the midst of so much gloom in the united states are talking about how could there live for us at the white house can be will no doubt come back to you after we hear from mike pence a little bit later in the night iran has agreed to give u.n. inspectors access to 2 alleged nuclear sites the international atomic energy agency

has been trying to gain access for the past year iran had argued that the requests were based on the allegations from israel their greenman was made by the head of the agency who has just returned from a visit to iran the spectre's we have access to these sites we have agreed on dates for these we have agreed on the basic morality is. extremely important we have agreed that a recall of nice these. activities that we are going to have there are related to nuclear material or possible related nuclear activities al-jazeera as i said babe has more now from tehran. there was some tension between the i.a.e.a. and iran over these 2 sites and the head of the i.a.e.a. ruffled grossi had met with iran's head of iran's atomic agency. a saudi he met

with the foreign minister javad zarif and also the president has done rowhani. a wanted access to these 2 sides that they said it was alleged to undertake a nuclear material had been stored or used now iran had blocked access to these sites in june of this year the i.a.e.a. passed a resolution that was put forward by germany france the united kingdom demanding access now over the last few days it seemed like iran was changing his position it said that they would crack texas if it would end questions once and for all now this joint statement seems that these conditions will these kind of vague preconditions have been met now in the statement says that they don't have any more questions or access regarding sites to sites that iran has already declared but even more so what they've said is that they will take iran security concerns into consideration now the government behind new zealand's worst mass shooting is back in court for sentencing brenton tyrant killed 51 muslim worshippers in christ

church last year he faces life in prison with no chance of parole in court survivors of the shooting on relatives of those who died have been giving victims' statements and directly confronting the killer. time for a short break here on al-jazeera when we come back e.u. defense ministers urged turkey and greece to back away from a potential conflict we'll have the latest on increasing tensions in the eastern mediterranean and our exclusive investigation on how criminals and dissidents are buying in citizenship more nuts than it. hello all the news for north america really concerns lower this category 2 then 3 then 4 hurricane making landfall somewhere along the texas louisiana border so

daylight hours on thursday will reveal what happened the storm itself probably will still be recognizable over the lower parts of eastern texas or up the mississippi valley for much of thursday when it carries on after that spreading quite a few tens of millimeters of rain in 3 or higher valley and beyond what to leave behind is still a potential for more humid showers but of course the winds will have dropped elsewhere in the continent well as you can see great lakes very showering that's true almost in toronto and in the west it's dry and hot to me still got the fires the potential for more thunderstorms is still there. now given what's going on in the gulf of mexico expected to be fairly quiet it's not touch of a fair few showers heading towards the yucatan and that all the way down towards panama was a big bunch off the coast of mexico even potentially tearing into another circulation mexico itself fairly wet most the south americas fairly quiet to get sikes of the river plate and then we're talking winter and yet again mass is

a snow day for the mountains. a story of love life deception life and death an israeli spy operating on the deep cover in syria knowing that discovery would make certain that. al-jazeera one tells a gripping story of muskets by elie coming up rated undercover in syria in the 960 s. i'm not patients career that ended in public executions illegal and mossad agents a.t.f. on al-jazeera. to.

welcome back a quick amount of our top stories here at this hour a white 17 year old is going to restive accused of shooting 2 people dead in a black lives matter protest in an ocean of wisconsin 3 nights of unrest in wisconsin after police shot an unarmed black. president donald trump says he's over the national guard to suppress the demonstrations there he says the state's governor has accepted federal assistance. and u.s. vice president mike pence will make his case to voters at the republican national convention later on wednesday night other speakers on day 3 include his wife karen and civil rights advocate clarence henderson. let's get more now from rachel bitter she's an election forecaster with a niskanen center and a senior advisor to the lincoln project and she joins us live now from newport news virginia via skype rachel so let's talk about vice president mike pence 1st he'll be giving his speech later we expected to be strong on the anthem and on american

symbolism but he's the man steering the white house response to coronavirus or how is he likely to respond to growing accusations that the trump administration has completely mishandled the pandemic. yes i know this is all that important frame i think of the election and this is really what's dogging it donald trump's reelection bid exasperatingly it was already a fundamental advantage in my forecasting work for democrats you don't backlash to trump who is a very divisive you know president obviously but adding really a lot of. i guess i have worked it to the democratic advantage is this extra bump coming from this pandemic and it's coming from you know war independence and moving towards the democrats moving towards biden who probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for the pandemic which of course you know it's not an

american centric scandal or or a problem where there would be no frame of reference americans can see how other countries in the world have handle that and they can really see how troops performance unflagged that of other world leaders president trump has wasted no time in saying he'll be sending in reinforcements to can osha in wisconsin but he made no mention of the police shooting of jacob blake another yet another unarmed black man so where does the g.o.p. stand then on police brutality the issue of police reforms because these are political hot potatoes in the run up to election day. they are and you know i think he started to talk about sending in the again i mean he's talking about federal intervention it's a very uncommon situation and in not to say that it's without historical precedent certainly you know there have been times in american politics where the cities have been turbulent enough were you know you needed you know pretty strong forces in the

cities to quell things down to what he's doing is quite distinct from that these are federal like a quasi military force early in security and i think that he made that announcement not realizing that the shooting was actually going to get linked back to somebody who had apparently been out in the crowd who knew who apparently was out there with our small weapon because again in america we have a lot of very lax firearms laws and so a lot of citizens average citizens a very big guns and you know not it wasn't in other words it wasn't a shooting by the protesters it was a shooting by somebody who was basically policing them just a final thought from the menu in the business of election for costing us my brave of you let's talk about joe biden he's ahead in the latest polls in most of the key battleground states like florida arizona michigan wisconsin how much of

a bounce is the convention like it to give to trump as he tries to chip away at joe biden's need. so it's really not been all that adventurous to be a forecaster because of polarization actually in america it makes election forecasting fairly easy and it will see this because there's probably not likely to be too much change in the polling from these conventions we you know we look at historical elections polling it would change quite a bit during conventions that go in one way than the other but with the pm damn it i mean it is true that independents have moved further away from trend but it is a modest move compared to the us a very the p. endemic so we really do need to keep in mind that the or a public opinion is very inelastic right now because of polarization rachel basic offer great to get your thoughts thank you for talking to al jazeera thanks for having me and now what could be the most powerful storm to hit the u.s.

this year was just hours away from making landfall hurricane nor is already a category 4 storm and officials say it could be catastrophic. grew by nearly 70 percent in just 24 hours and is racing towards texas and louisiana authorities of when the storm could bring floodwaters as high as 6 meters around $620000.00 people have been told to leave their homes a crisp alone has the latest on the preparations from lafayette. and the time for preparation is largely over as a matter of fact over the last couple of hours here we've started to get high wind gusts and heavy bouts of rain right now we're in a break in that rain these are those feeder bands that extend for miles outside of the hurricane center this storm is still several hours from making landfall about 6 or 7 hours away but we are threatening to feel the effects of the storm here as it moves in people have been preparing for days if they live in flood prone areas

they've been putting out sandbags boarding up their windows some people have headed have gone to higher ground or evacuated this area is not under a mandatory evacuation but parts along the coastline that are under mandatory evacuation those have been evacuated already we're dealing with a pandemic while all of these preparations are going on in ordinary times local municipalities would open up high school gyms and things of that nature to allow people in for shelter if they didn't have a higher place to go to now they have to limit the number of people in those shelters to make sure they stay socially distance they have to limit the number of people go on buses some of the municipalities and states are using hotel rooms to put people in that are evacuating but some half a 1000000 people are under a mandatory evacuation right now so there's there's not a lot of room for those people right now. the greek prime minister says he's ready to help deescalate tensions with turkey in the eastern mediterranean in

a call with the u.s. president kerry has said turkey would 1st have to end provocations both nations have been holding military exercises near a patch of water they both claim and in which a turkish ship is carrying out drilling research earlier the greek prime minister said extend his claim of a waters in the ionian seen further to the west and i can almost see greece will extend the coastal zone to the west from 12 to 6 miles greece's growing others have said this building where the ones who are putting this into practice well turkey's president has also discussed the issue with the us president donald trump earlier one warning greece not to test turkey's patience he said he would never compromise on what is ours one insisted on the legality of turkish maritime borders in the eastern mediterranean and the potential natural gas well beneath it c r c we are determined to do what every reason is the syrian the military political and economic sense we invite your counterparts to get it together and avoid

mistakes that would bring the destruction now al-jazeera as an investigative unit is standing by its exclusive report which the government of cyprus is calling propaganda the investigation focuses on a set of confidential documents listing 2 and a half 1000 people who purchased citizenship in cyprus some of those who obtain passports allegedly criminals while others are seeking a safe haven away from their own governments deborah davis reports for. a meeting of presidents to discuss greater links between cyprus and china. but away from the public glare hundreds of chinese have quietly paid for a personal connection aboard cypriot citizenship a few. criminals he sanctioned by the us the laundering stolen cryptocurrency others like to politically connected he's boss of a state owned energy company the chinese presence is increasingly visible in cyprus
