7:01 am
putin promises to support a process get out of control. anger in argentina over a government plan to reform the judicial system critics say it could be used to protect the political elite. big story for you this half hour u.s. president donald trump says november's election will mark the difference between quotes saving the american dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy itself to formally accepting the republican party nomination for a 2nd term as president he told a crowd of supporters that certain of embers votes will be the most important in u.s. history mr trump painted an optimistic picture of the country while describing the democratic party's proposals as extreme. as the democratic national convention joe biden and his party repeated lee assailed america as
7:02 am
a land of racial economic and social injustice. so tonight i ask you a simple question how can the democrat party ask the lead our country when it spends so much time tearing down our country. they do not see america as the most free justin exceptional nation on earth instead they see a wicked dacian that must be punished for it since our opponents say that redemption for you can only come from giving power to them live now to my colleague white house correspondent kimberly health kit kimberly what's the big takeaway from the last 2 hours. well there's no question that this was a carefully crafted speech to fray on the fears of ordinary americans not just republicans but democrats as well those that may be supporting some of the peaceful
7:03 am
protesting that's occurred around the united states but when it deteriorates into violence this is something that the trump campaign clearly seems to be trying to it's ojt in terms of the fears of what could happen next donald trump painting a very dark and gloomy picture of what joe biden's america looks like if he wins the white house saying that this would be as you point out one of the most extreme agendas of any political. presidential political candidate in modern history now there was all kinds of symbolism woven throughout the speech to kind of sort of remind americans of what they may be fearful of to give it a name if you will in capitalist america things like marxism socialism manifesto words that were all in the speech are the very things that many americans for coil when they hear and so this was something that was done deliberately and i think the
7:04 am
sentence that really sums it up is when donald trump said if the radical left takes power they will apply their disastrous policies every city and suburb in america 6 it's very clear who the president's going after in this speech and that is the middle americans the middle class voters the white middle class voters particularly those that live in suburbs he'll sue i mean during won't one hour and 10 minutes or so i think i'm right in saying can believe there was one area of new policy in there when he said we'll cut taxes for hard working mothers and that's the reference i guess to the thing we were talking about this time yesterday because he's a little bit worried or his his pollsters attending him look you use you using potentially those suburban sucka moments so cold. absolutely this is something that was deliberately done and it was also deliberate the placement of the banca trump rate before donald trump spoke not just to introducers
7:05 am
her father the fact that they are known to be very close she's one of his most trusted advisors but she also has been working and campaigning in advocating for women through out her time at the white house and it was those themes that she touched on as well talking about what she saw as the successes for what her father did not just for women but i think the other key demographic that this administration clearly is going out after is voters of color particularly african-americans donald trump once again made the claim that he has done more than any other president in u.s. history which has been challenged when it comes to the black community but what we have seen increasingly from 2016 is a growing number of african-americans who are taking note of what donald trump says he's done and is planning to do one significant achievement we should have to the president with respect to keep to the african-american community comes to where they talk what age p.c.
7:06 am
user historically bell lott colleges and universities previously they used to have to come to the white house year after year asking for money donald trump said this is ridiculous approved it for 10 years and now they have this money to do the forward planning so it was those kinds of things he also talked about but the reason he was doing it is because he's very much going after that coveted vote that historically has always gone to democrats and if donald trump is successful it would be a very successful winning strategy for a president who knows that he's behind in the polls and has to make things up quickly he's really got just a matter of about $6768.00 days left he will so it's not joe biden saying that mr biden and therefore come out of this have no policies that they can win with but surely you can believe the reality at this point in the election cycle is that we don't he. policies anyway because the policies in a normal year you know with any coronavirus should have been discussed weeks and
7:07 am
months ago when the candidates were driving across the country in their big battle buses and this point in the process it kind of descends into a culture war anyway between republicans and democrats but do you get the sense that this idea of a culture war is is more accent to 8 seeds this year because there's so much division there's so much anger there's so much controversy covering everything from do i send my kids back to school up to and including black men being shot in the back 7 times by the police. i think that it's not only what you're talking about but it's also people are just exhausted in the united states they're exhausted from the truck presidency they're exhausted from coronavirus and how it shut down this economy you have to remember there are 27 plus 1000000 americans out of work right now people are weary and they're tired of they don't really want to hear the details anymore they just are really raw in
7:08 am
terms of their emotion and that's what both sides the democrats and the republicans are not only cognizant of but they are exploiting it in terms of trying to win this election the american people are just simply exhausted they're angry they're confused they know that they're not really getting the truth from anyone but it's almost this campaign of confusion that seems to be going on right now not just a culture war but everything has been turned upside down wrong is right right is wrong in the american people or are simply left looking for someone to provide them the straight path and otherwise winding road and so it will really come down to who people can trust to do that as they go into that ballot box and strike their ballot ok kimberly thank you so much for that complete. correspondent unpacking that big story coming to us out of washington well while mr trump's speech was taking place in the grounds of the white house hundreds of protesters have gathered outside
7:09 am
determined to drown out the president ellen fisher is that. you were just on the east side of the white house speaking probably no more than a kilometer away when he started to speak the noise level here went up quite considerably i'm going to don't just persecuting you can hear the sort of kickoff we need that has been going on throughout these entire speech. and music all day trying to make sure that they can try and distract you don't need somebody there so far we can likely be. to do that there has been a cordon thrown around at the white house there is a fence which stretches for some considerable distance and where there is no fence there's also police lines and police vehicles this is been a largely peaceful gathering they've come from all over the country i've been speaking to someone from texas and also from portland as well as those here in d.c. who came here to protest and there are several groups represented here people who
7:10 am
are campaigning for social justice and others who just want to see the end of donald trump in the white house while we've been in the crowd i've also seen people going around talking to people making sure that they're registered to vote and they're telling them it's great that you're here great the you're trying to have your voice heard but what is much more important is that you have your voice heard on november 3rd which of course is the date for the presidential election. reporting there let's bring in now. from los angeles she is the founding director of the u.c. policy and politics initiative song you're welcome to al-jazeera what did you hear in that speech that you liked. well i heard 60 minutes of nothing and about 5 minutes of what the next 4 years might look like under his administration i think that we've seen drastically different versions of america from both the r. and c. and the d.n.c. conventions they were in alignment however as it related to how important november
7:11 am
3rd is for the country in many ways both parties and both top at ticket candidates have made clear that this election is about the future of this country it's about safeguarding them ocracy and if the ballot goes in any other way the country will be ruined beyond repair so very dark very you know dystopian vision of what america may look like under either party's control that america looks a lot like that these days with our growing numbers of 1000 infection cases and over 180000 americans who have lost their lives to the coronavirus ok tonight we had mr trump the president saying we'll create 9000000 new jobs this time yesterday we were talking on this channel about mike pence saying 7000000 new job so the arithmetic is not quite running in parallel but also talking about today mr trump talking about tax cuts for working mothers you're in california that's
7:12 am
a high cost state when you talk to your friends and colleagues would that get any traction with them. no i think that this is about an election of persuasion now what we know about that 19 is that it's decimated the lives of so many black and latino americans we also know that it's greatly impacted the economic well being of communities of color from california to new york to florida now this is the 1st mention of donald trump of working mothers he's made a lot of mentions about stay at home mothers and preserving the nuclear family i know from the polling and latino voters care about jobs they care about the economy and they care about quality affordable health care the 4th thing that they care about is having a leader that leads with cyber city and is not divisive and that's not donald trump when it comes to the appeal of the candidates we've got let's be honest elderly
7:13 am
white men. does the presence of the existence of comatose on the biden ticket make mr biden much more electable than he would be in another parallel universe us election campaign. i think that kamel and harris is definitely add in a lot of weight and a lot of dollars to the biden ticket we saw the increase in democratic donors in terms of common harris's announcement as b.p. biden's pick and carly harris is already successfully run in the largest state in the united states which is california statewide 3 times and the last 2 times just took her opponent out of the park including a latina and including a white male why are we not sonia getting anyone discussing policy is it because the vacuum has been sucked out of it he has so it's a vacuum as
7:14 am
a political vacuum so it's talking about the personalities it's a talking to people saying i'm against trump or i'm against biden so we're not finding out what the policies are when it comes to turning america around not purely economically but in that kind of space of how america feels emotional the invested in itself or not perhaps that's an important distinction i think that both campaigns are running campaigns focused on persuasion this is persuading likely voters most of whom are white or elderly or older college educated and in the midwest and it's not a campaign about expansion which is really thinking about how campaigns and candidates can mobilize latino voters asian american voters young black voters to come out on november 3rd and in order to do that that would really be about policy about a policy platform and a policy agenda that speaks to the needs of these young voters of color and neither
7:15 am
party is simply doing that ok we must leave it there sonja. in los angeles with the u.c.l.a. latino policy and politics in the ship thank you very much. thank you so much take care. still to come here on this program the crisis deepens in the eastern med a circular a step up the rhetoric over a maritime dispute. helo that mostly wholesome dry across much of the middle east to the south across the arabian peninsula more cloud has been streaming in of the last few hours and sunny across into the fall west and south of yemen we could see one or 2 more showers nothing particularly heavy and you notice the sand and dust is back in the fall cause the winds quite strong coming through the interior of iraq extending across iraq there down towards casaba touches

for a 2nd term in the white house he says the election on november the 3rd will mark the difference between saving the american dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy it. all from speech was taking place on the grounds of the white house hundreds of protesters are gathered outside they were trying to make enough noise to disrupt the presidential address it didn't work. hundreds of federal and regional troops are patrolling the u.s. city of kosha after several nights of violent protest sparked by the shooting of a black man however there has been relative calm on thursday activists are pushing for charges against the officer who opened fire on jacob blake a 29 year old was shot 7 times as he opened his car door on sunday incident led to protests across several cities 2 people were shot dead during demonstrations in kosher on tuesday a 17 year old suspect has now been arrested and charged john hendren has more now he's in. the town is still pretty well locked down and so what you've got is

everybody's got plywood and today they have been taking places like this coffee shop and sort of beautifying them because i think everybody has figured out that it's going to be a while before they can take this plywood down these protests are going to continue notice most of these this one says love and hand signals and you know she's strong . often vaguely suporn of of the protesters. some of that sort of a polite way of saying please don't hurt this building and meanwhile we have the news of 17 year old kyle rittenhouse being charged he's been charged with 2 counts of deliberate 1st degree homicide that is a murder charge but the way he was treated has angered a lot of people so there's a there's a video of someone allegedly him according to police who's knocked down by protesters this is a white teen and then fires into the crowd kills 2 people and wounds another again according to police but he walks away past police with his hands up he's not
7:20 am
arrested they probably didn't see the shooting but people are yelling to police and he's carrying a gun and then he is arrested a day later well that's upset not just protesters but also sports icons so the national basketball association has postponed its playoff games the major league baseball national hockey league and others the women's n.b.a. as well all doing this so it's become not just something for the protesters not just something for sports fans but a cultural event here in the united states now. benjamin crump is jacob blake's lawyer he also represents the families of joyce lloyd's and briana taylor black americans who were killed by the police and explains why this incident has cost so much pain. you hear the bullies. justify the unjustifiable actions that they have taken and so that's why it's called out
7:21 am
