longest serving prime minister. u.s. president donald trump says november's election will mark the difference between saving the american dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy it after formally accepting the republican party's nomination for a 2nd term as president he told a crowd of supporters event as vote will be the most important in u.s. history from painted a painted rather an optimistic picture for the country while describing the democratic party's proposals as extreme. at the democratic national convention joe biden and his party repeatedly assailed america as 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 or country. they do not see america as the most free just an exceptional nation on earth instead they see a wicked day should that must be punished for its sins our opponents say that redemption for you can only come from giving power to them will trump also defended his administration's response to the krona virus pandemic valid to have a vaccine ready by the end of the year. we shipped hundreds of millions of mask gloves and downs to our front line health care workers to protect our nation's seniors we rushed supplies testing kits and personal to nursing homes we gave everything you can possibly give and we're still giving it because we're taking care of our senior citizens thank. the army corps of engineers build field hospitals and the navy deployed our great hospital ships we

developed from scratch the largest and most advanced testing system anywhere in the world now white house correspondent kimberly halkett has more. donald trump is hoping that he gets votes from those that are still undecided and even some democrats who are feeling nervous about some of the social unrest that has played out across the united states in recent weeks and months well there may be some liberal voters who support verdes sanders on many of the social issues and really do want to see some of the issues of systemic racism addressed with the police forces they are drawing the line when it comes to the destruction of personal property when it comes to the destruction of potentially their homes their businesses and that's what donald trump is counting on so we've seen through his speeches and in the week of sort of a build up in the final days and hours of the republican national convention

a very deliberate attempt to stoke those fears and really paint a very grim apocalyptic portrait of what joe biden's presidency would look like as they were preying on sort of the fears of the kind of notion of marxism socialism in the united states after remember this is a predominately capitalist country and those words really mean something to americans that kind of pride themselves in the sedition of the american way and entrepreneurship so throughout the speech we heard manifesto we heard that joe biden is the trojan horse for socialism we heard anarchy all of the words that really cause americans to feel fearful and maybe cause a quietly vote for donald trump in november. while trunk speech was taking place in the grounds of the white house hundreds of protesters gathered outside determined to drown out the president has. so we're just on the east side of the white house

and don't trumpet 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 stop just for a 2nd and you can hear the sort of kickoff anie that has been going on through his entire street. drums and sirens and music all day trying to make sure that they can try and distract all tumbled all the so far away town likely they'll be able to do that there has been a cordon thrown around at the white house there is a fence which stretches for some considerable distance where there's 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 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 board they're telling them it's great that you're here greet 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. thousands of protesters are expected to turn out on friday for a so-called matan in washington to protest against the police treatment of black fellows days of often violent rallies in the city of wisconsin state after police shot black man jacob like things were quiet on thursday night and stonehenge in reports. kenosha is still hunkered down boarded up and reeling from days of flaming buildings and anger in the streets. hundreds of police in riot gear patrolling military vehicles as protesters defy nightly curfews but there are signs of progress many buildings remain shuttered but residents here are beautifying what

they can often with a message i am just a small bit trying to help and make our city just a little bit less of a. boarded up war zone that just and it feels good makes me feel good to do it. since hundreds of police and federal troops descended on can ocean in recent days thursday arrived with little overnight damage police apparently controlling the streets fully for the 1st time since the protests began. that pause in violence follows a bloody tuesday as an armed militia member fired on protesters killing 2 and wounding one then walking past police without incident. on wednesday police did charge 17 year old kyle britton house shown earlier that day explaining why he came armed with murder suspect is there somebody hurt i'm running into harm's way that's why i am i right i think the civil rights leader jesse jackson

called for charges to be filed against the officers involved in blake shooting. on the spur of the. tundra will move a move quickly. remove the justice work for the people people tend to view the protests through a political lens and what you see depends on where you stand and for couple of hairs the black and indian democratic vice presidential candidate what happened here reveals a nation with a lot of work to do on criminal justice. she lists a litany of names of african-americans who died at the hands of police people are rightfully angry and exhausted and after the murders of brianna and george and and so many others it's no wonder people are taking to the streets and i support them but for president donald trump who declined to say jacob blake's name the protests show the need for more police power we called up the national

guard we sent it out and they did a fantastic job last night we had. virtually no incident. with hundreds of armor clad police filling the streets the nights micro quieter. but the movement marches on john hendren al-jazeera can no show wisconsin. let's go back now to there breaking news from japan reports that prime minister is set to resign salami is in tokyo outside of the prime minister's office what are you all sources telling you. well it's almost confirmed now that the japanese but i mean surgeons will be going to design is going to announce that do you think a press conference. in this done an hour from now this press conference has been out in it from yesterday about his that the news about his resignation is game as a shock to many of the public and all sorts but it's good leaders. we got the
