8:11 pm
what's present at the richardson and what's the story on the milwaukee still going to sit it out and everyone else plays let's. say much share with not had any official confirmation from the n.b.a. as yet the n.b.a. board of governors having a separate meeting to the n.b.a. players what we understand is that the playoff games that used to take place tonight thursday they will not take place they'll be postponed the with 3 games also they got postponed yesterday including that game involving the milwaukee bucks but then it does appear as though the playoffs will go ahead now that could be seen as well what was the point of it all but in these important to stress that never before have we actually seen a major sports league in the u.s. actually go as far as a boycott there's been talk about it in the past back in the 1960 s. when the players' union was looking for representation they got very close to boycotting games i never quite got that far so even though it may have only lasted for 2 days. they're hoping that it will have refocused attention on one of the
8:12 pm
reasons they agreed to go to the n.b.a. restart it is by a secure environment in florida so it's a focus attention on to the black clouds massive movement the players were worried that that message was being lost and that people were were moving on and that black lives matter was just becoming a slogan they didn't mean anything and i think now at least they've they've set that precedence and as far as they're concerned if if there isn't meaningful action taken they will walk away again the referees got involved as well didn't they as well they've sort of joined the movement that's true and i think that's symbolic of this unique environment that the players and everybody is in that not playing games all over the country there in this. secure environment in florida just outside disney world in orlando so it means the referees the player is the owners they're all together and so collective action is that much more easy to happen and it can happen very quickly so even if the players do go back and agree to play. on friday
8:13 pm
you can see very quickly that if nothing changes and they still feel as though the message that they wanted to get out to the world is not being heard they will walk away from these playoffs and the richardsons our sports presenter will see him again in the years our 1800 hours do you see with more on that one. still ahead in this world isn't there marty's leaders say they've released the ousted president abraham to the cape different tension and the hurrican laura rolls across the southern u.s. coast bringing a storm surge and destructive winds and rain. and i once again welcome to another look at the international forecast so fairly quiet across see a right be in potentially some places clad down towards the south as per usual it has to be said that it doesn't stand a possibility as we go on through friday where the weather is

8:17 pm
republican national convention where he will officially accept his party's presidential nomination wednesday sessions or vice president mike pence praised trump's record on the economy and law and order he criticized democratic presidential candidate joe biden for attacking america and said the country would not be safe under his leadership an official at the white house now where donald trump will give that speech tonight that's the whole of the story but allen what about his speech any indications of what's going to be in it. well we're getting an idea that what he's going to do is present something that is considered a positive view of the united states we're told that he intends to paint your biden as a weak candidate someone who is in the thrall to the radical left wing democrat genda particularly when it comes to the border on taxes on trade on china on energy and crime the president intends to draw a contrast between what he sees as foreign action on coronavirus particularly the
8:18 pm
idea of what he suggests was stopping all travel from china which isn't exactly true and what joe biden has done saying he has carried out a basement strategy and done absolutely nothing just a reminder at this point there's almost $180000.00 people dead the unemployment rate currently because of coronavirus is over 10 percent and census essential he's going to talk about. some of the violence that we've seen in towns and cities particularly over the last few months but particularly also in cannot show how he frames that isn't entirely clear but we suggest that it's been suggested that he will obviously go strong on law and order because he believes this is a winning ticket for him he thinks that that will particularly when the votes of suburban housewives who believes will come to his campaign even though in all the polls that we've seen recently they have been flirting with voting for joe biden on those polls the campaign says that they believe that democrats have been over
8:19 pm
sampled that is why joe biden tends to be leading in all of them in swing states the campaign insists that if the election was held today donald trump would when and they think that position will improve because when he speaks and we're expecting the speech to last somewhere in the region of 45 minutes to an hour we're told it will be uplifting and optimistic view that will be easily compared to the doom and gloom. of the democrats last week it will be an inspiring rally cry now remember 4 years ago we were told roughly the same thing it was a very dark speech from donald trump but he laid out the problems in america and only he can fix it this time around it appears he's going to see that not only has he fixed it but given another 4 years things will only get better thank you alan fischer for that update from the white house to south africa now where protests
