al-jazeera bringing the news and current affairs that matter to. al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. 1500 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera come all santamaria welcome to the news hour the european union is increasing sanctions pressure on the roosts and warns russia against intervening in support of president alexander lukashenko also the threatening sanctions against turkey if no progress is made in the eastern mediterranean crisis with greets. also in the news tens of thousands of people gathering to march on washington d.c.

in a renewed drive against police brutality and a demand for racial justice and flash flooding triggers landslides in afghanistan at least 150 people killed it's one parts of corruption in neighboring pakistan so . the white scene game goes on for basketball's biggest stars after 2 days of protest against social injustice it's still to be confirmed if the playoffs will resume this friday. however in the european union is edging closer to imposing sanctions on bell russian officials it has linked to electoral fraud as well as the violent crackdown on protesters the blocs foreign ministers have all but agreed on a list of almost 20 high ranking people but they haven't said exactly who some e.u. states want president alexander lukashenko to be included on that list of course he's faced mass demonstrations since winning elections that critics say were raked

. there was a political agreement among ministers to designate selected individuals responsible for their fraudulent elections in their rules and for the subsequent crackdown on that exist in the revolution sanction regime this is a nation shall include individuals at the high political level from now on today least and the respective illegal acts will be prepared by the combating cancer working group in the coming days with a view to be adopted as soon as possible so let's start with john mccain. is this a european approach of of going maybe a little more softly softly a little more gradual rather than going straight after the big fish look at.

the point to make 1st of all is that it's a pretty clear demonstration of the will of the european union regarding the situation in belarus they have looked at the protests in the streets they have looked at the results of the election and they feel this is the right response they are trying to send a message to president lukashenko that he needs to embrace the transition to a different government that he needs to listen to the protesters on the streets of his capital city in minsk now the problem from the european perspective will be what president has said in return he's already made very clear that the prospect of intensified sanctions targeted sanctions will not to turn him he has said that if they come when they come he is going to respond by closing off transit routes important transit routes for e.u. goods through his territory to russia but also to the baltic states very clear then

that the european union is trying to send this message the interesting thing not just from what the foreign ministers are saying in berlin these past few days but angle immaculate german chancellor at a different news conference earlier today was asked by media about her view of what's going on in belarus and she reminded people that she'd grown up under communism that she had seen the bull in wall toppled that the wall that divided this city that was the icon of the cold war and she said at the time it was because the governing mindset from the soviet union would this change to happen but that now was a very different geopolitical situation so what you've got coming from burleson but also from the e.u. as it's expressed by the foreign ministers here is that clear determination to show the world that they disapprove of what president has been doing and they feel that they're. economic power can be used as

a weapon with this targeting of sanctions ok thank you that's dominic cain in berlin with the european side of things for us we're going to have a look inside better roost now with freelance journalist. has more from minsk. on the 20th day of fun to look at the process the president has sworn the west's he wants a canny external pressure when the e.u. sanctions imposed he says he will do the same in return for the bell or is government my do is unclear the economy struggling there are queues. and he's giving heart to be withdraw cash from a.t.m.'s ukraine has also now cut off contact with the governments here so that location can now has only russia to rely on putin has promised to send a reserve police force but also put in the military into combat ready moats i've been told by one metro driver that he's been called up to the army in the coming days because he protested after the election night after the rest of us to journalism thursday night it could be much harder for the media to cover future

events sunday is look at a 66th birthday and protesters are planning a new rally for what they call peace and independence there are also fears though of a russian invasion of exam that are still going to go through it is in moscow to take us through this one what is the likelihood in your opinion and based on what the russians are saying about more of an intervention in belarus. well no wonder the local shank was not taking this pressure and criticism and threat of sanctions lying down since he got to such a clear support from russian president vladimir putin that said that there is a reserve police force and that they will act and that they are obliged to act according to the collective security treaty and the union states 3 t. if he said that the extremist elements inside belarus start crossing the line.

starting good cars on fire and banks and they can go were basically a vow or. was not to so harsh when it comes to the west where we hear a lot of shankar saying that there is an external threat to there from on its western border and that he is going to react to a death and there will be russian soldiers then marching in to help him he was pointing more at the words the internal threat now this is new once in a what they're saying though they're on the same page and aware that it is likely that this will happen well that the depends on how this situation develops and how russia is russia going to really risk and strange in that part of population which is friendly to russia by marching in and basically invading the country beth i don't see as a likelihood because there is other ways for them to keep belorussia strategic

partner because it is not like i shan't call himself that is so important but the country for now they're supporting look at schenkel they recognized him as a president they said that the elections were fair but in the meantime it is possible that they're searching for other partners inside of belarus and we heard from the moscow officials that there is a bell or russian politicians which do want to keep at the close ties. russia and don't want to leave any joint organization that they have right it's an interesting distinction to make then under can i ask you for an update on another story if you don't mind alexei navalny the russian opposition politician is currently undergoing treatment in berlin is there an update on his condition. yeah well there is indeed a huge steel in a medically induced coma he is on a medical ventilator but his life is no longer a threat than that and there is

a slight improvement so the symptoms of intoxication with the inhibitors of colon asteroids are apparently receding this was stated by his press secretary cura. so but no one can say to this point to how long it will take him to recover and what will be the consequences of this poisoning the violence headquarters in city of homs where he was initially hospitalized said the ones that are trying to hide the truth should be ashamed of themselves they pointed out that there is no criminal investigation in russia on the this case even after 8 days and they are also calling and hoping that there will be sanctions against to put in and his circle because according to their opinion they think that they are behind the what they call poisoning of the violin a russian official position did not change their saying there is no reason at this

point for any criminal investigation says there is no proof that there was poisoning let alone the live birth or as an ng so they want to 1st see the proofs of that but if we look back a bit into the past in the similar cases russia has never recognized any involvement in any war is an ng of any of its of opponents and even denied that there was a doubted that there was for the new saying there is no conclusive evidence in somebody of use cases so at this point in russia we should not expect a criminal investigation it might come as it was promised if a toxin is actually identified stocks in that cause need to hold and common 8 days ago or example as the universe go for it with the word from moscow this friday thank you. there is another big talking point for even foreign ministers in berlin today that is the increasingly tense situation in the eastern mediterranean greece and e.u. member it is in a standoff with turkey over the competing claims to maritime territory and

potential or and gas reserves just about all says the bloc could even sanction turkey if there's no progress in this crisis 1st you know they're now listing personalities we can't pass to least assets ships we can do. sanctions the participation of activities that we could shoot the illegal in the engine everything related with working in these kind of. manned. usually to. be in capacities to your knowledge. has our team covering the story this hour. in istanbul where you will be with her shortly starting over john psaropoulos in athens john reaction from the greeks now this is what they will want to hear i guess some support from the european union. yes there's a tentative satisfaction from the greek side the greek foreign minister said greece

got what it could from this council because this was an informal council so it couldn't adopt any formal binding conclusions legally speaking we. are in understanding of sanctions is what we we've got if turkey does not deescalate he added that there was a clear sentiment and that was entirely supportive of our country in other words the general tone of the conversation in this council was very supportive of greece and cyprus and the whatever objections there have been to sanctions so far have apparently been temporarily at least swept aside but of course final decisions will be made on those sanctions we heard from joseph burrell next month that gives a much bigger. time period will both greece and turkey to re approach each other for turkey to deescalate to pull back its exploration

ships for greece to renew overtures for a bilateral dialogue with greece don't forget has placed conditions on that it wants that dollar love not just to be a political agreement. that is simply what the 2 sides agree based on the current dynamics in the eastern med greece wants the basis of the dialogue to be international. and it wants turkey to commit to arbitration at the international court at the hague if the dialogue doesn't ultimately succeed those are 2 tough conditions could turkey which hasn't signed on to the international law of the sea under the un auspices and which does not therefore recognize the international court of the hague as a fait court to educate these masses. john psaropoulos in athens with that update thank you so in is stan bill jones pointed out there that the greeks and the

europeans would certainly like this to be more of an international thing and show you were telling me yesterday that the view this as a bilateral issue they will not like hearing what they have to say today. well yes. actually many parties say that this is a bilateral issue even the e.u. put e.u. commission puts it through like this for instance. when one of the turkish mainstream newspaper asked that question to the e.u. commission with regard to this question the your commission reply to them as reported topics like the limitation and the use of resources can only be a result through good intentions based on international good neighborhood relations trade dialogue and negotiation so basically the issue must be solved between turkey and greece i have spoken to some turkish diplomats from the foreign ministry today basically as one of the turkish diplomats puts it through. regarding the 4

hour statement this is a legal issue between turkey and greece based on the legal rights of 2 countries on the waters of the ija in c. but the e.u. is putting a political stance towards this legal issue which is basically understandable because they are part of a union european union this is why in a reaction statement from the turkish foreign ministry just an hour ago the foreign ministry spokesman put it like this we you know white the e.u. and e.u. member states not the support greece is maximalist amounts against international law under the pretext of union solidarity greece is not an archipelago state it's against international law for greek islands especially. to have a continental shelf so basically there is no problem about the territorial waters but turkey and greece are at odds with regard to the continental shelf an exclusive

economic zone for instance the island that i mentioned is to claw meters to the cherokee mainland but 580 kilometers to the greek mainland and it's all a 10 square kilometers. according to athens this small island and square kilometer island must have 44000 square kilometers of exclusive economic zone continental shelf to be able to use the resources in the world and this is what turkey is they get probably we will hear more but from the turkish perspective it is understandable that the e.u. is solving solidarity with its member countries but at the end of the day these are both nato allies nato montresor and there's a legal issue which the even the un says it should be sold it's been to 2 countries but i have to say that. german chancellor is trying to play a meditation role. for instance when heikal masterman foreign minister was here in

iraq during the press or he was much softer than how he was in athens so time will show how things will evolve around the agency and they said mediterranean a lot of nuances there on there thank you sincerely in istanbul. we're a quarter past this news hour this is what's coming up this is the most important election in the history of our country the presidential conventions are over and the final stretch of the u.s. race for the white house is now officially underway. with mali's ousted president now a free man west african leaders are holding a new round of talks over the country's future and the playoffs are on ice all the details coming up with indian sport for the latest. well right at the moment thousands of people are gathering in washington d.c. in a renewed drive for criminal justice reform and racial equality they're calling it

another march on washington white because it is 57 years to the day since monday luther king jr is famous i have a dream speech which he delivered in washington the us has been gripped by racial protests and unrest since george ford was killed in police custody in may drawing comparisons to the anger in the violence that flared after dr king's assassination in 1960. meanwhile a court hearing for the 17 year old charged with murder over a shooting at the black lives protests in black lives matter protests in wisconsin has been postponed until the end of september congress and house was arrested on wednesday after 2 people were killed in kenosha he's facing 6 challenges including reckless and intentional homicide officials are requesting that he be extradited to wisconsin so let's talk to john hendren about this he's live in for us john why the

delay. well his family says that rittenhouse is seeking help from a private attorney but he hasn't hired one yet so a public defender somebody who can represent him for free at least in the short term in this case has asked for a continuance a delay until september 25th so that he can arrange a private lawyer and deal with that we're learning a little more about this young man the 17 year old kyle rittenhouse that he he was in a youth police should debt groupie admired the police very much in took a lot of pictures of himself using weapons he was a member of a group a militia group that went to protect buildings as they put it during the protests and that is where police say during a scuffle he shot and killed 2 protesters and wounded another one so he's going to

wait for another month he's in illinois and his his the people here the court here is going to get him extradited from illinois to wisconsin it's a short distance but that's the procedure they have to go through in order to try him here in. the shooting which gave rise to little bits of course was the police shooting of jacob but now i spoke to his lawyer yesterday and he said he was heavily sedated in hospital i'm not aware of what's going on now there are reports that he was handcuffed to his bed. that's right jacob blake's father jacob blake sr says he's lying in bed paralyzed from those 7 police bullets and yet he is shackled handcuffed to the side of the bed his father points out that he couldn't get up if he tried his legs don't work now. but that is apparently due to police charges against him the father says that his son at one

point said why did they shoot me so many times as all of this is happening police have really increased their presence here in town and for 2 nights now we have had no major incidents of arson or looting and so what's happening now you can see this all the plywood all of the buildings here most of them have plywood over and that one says people live here and now shops are opening back up you might be able to see this sign here this is a skateboard shop that has opened back up and they're painting the plywood so that they know that these protests are going to go on for a while we're going to keep the plywood up but there they can open the doors and that tells you a little about the expectations here that these protests are going to continue the protesters want to see charges against the officers involved that has not happened yet and they want to see some change in the way policing happens here and across the united states. 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 it's 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 him running into harm's way that's why am i the. civil rights leader jesse jackson called for charges to be filed against the officers involved in blake shooting. the movie moved quickly. remove them just as were the 3 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 ng. gree 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 showed the need for more police power we called up the national guard we sent it out and they did a fantasy jobless. we had virtually no incident. with hundreds of armor clad police filling the streets the nights might grow quieter. but the movement marches are. prosecutors are giving us a little more information about what happened on the day that jacob blake was shot and they say there is more to it than the 20 seconds or so of viral video that was initially released on the internet. they say that blake scuffled with police that they police had come to arrest him because he was accused of trespassing at his

girlfriend's house and that during that they grabbed him there was a bit of a scuffle and that they tried to tase him 2 times and it was then that he walked around the car the officer grabbed him by the back of the shirt and then fired at him and he climbed in the car they also say that he acknowledged that he had a knife and that that knife was later found in the car so. their point of view here is that blake resisted arrest however there's no indication that it any time that he threatened officers or use that night so it is still unclear why the officer shot him and why he shot him 7 times. john hendren reporting from konoha wisconsin. because president obama trump has formally accepted the republican party's nomination for a 2nd term he says november's election will be

a choice between saving the american dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy it i want us correspondent kimberly how could has. never in modern history has a sitting president campaign from the white house a political symbol that supposed to be for all americans i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the united states. like joe but donald trump has again broken with precedent as he accepted the republican party's nomination and attacked his democratic rival joe biden this is the most important election in the history of our country. spoke for more than an hour painting at apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency he told voters his opponent was campaigning as a democrat but would assure in an ideology much further left than any other liberal

candidate your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding americans or whether we give free rein to violent and our kids and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. trump how did what he saw as some of his administration successes in foreign policy i could not sit by. as career politicians let other countries take advantage of us on trade borders foreign policy and national defense a domestic policy even as trungpa scored low marks from american voters for his pandemic response with more than 180000 americans dead trump argued biden will not make things better instead of following the science joe biden wants to inflict a painful shutdown on the entire country whose shutdown would inflict unthinkable

and lasting harm on our nation's children's families and citizens of all backgrounds as he spoke more than a 1000 guests most of them not wearing a mask sat shoulder to shoulder ignoring the white house's own social distancing guidelines earlier in the day democratic vice presidential nominee camila harris hit back charging trump didn't do enough in the early days of the pandemic to protect americans all we needed was a competent president one who was willing to listen willing to lead take responsibility have a plan. do their job. paris also accused trump of stoking racial divisions absent from trump's speech was any mention of jacob blake the man shot in the back last weekend of wisconsin by a white police officer even though the incident has caused nights of protests and

the shutdown of the country's biggest sports leagues and in true trump fashion his speech and the convention ended literally with a bang. but in an attempt to drown out the festivities protesters marched through the streets around the white house demanding justice and vowing to do all they could to prevent trump's reelection but donald trump is undeterred by the push back in an effort to build momentum following his acceptance speech immediately hitting the campaign trail on friday he'll travel to the u.s. state of new hampshire to hold his 1st political rally since the republican national convention kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house well not far from the white house right now thousands of people rallying for criminal justice reform and racial equality it's a march on washington another march on washington because the original one happened 57 years ago today the anniversary it is the anniversary of martin luther king jr i

have a dream speech and of course the u.s. now still gripped by racial protests that have been going on since may. for us. that's a lot of time isn't it 57 years since the original march on washington and i guess a lot of people there today would say things really changed. you can talk to us live that's right and who better to make that table then design another dr martin luther king jr from the bar luther king the 3rd well very studious then give it up at the lincoln memorial talking to all of his fathers or even start and you will likely tell the crowd was there some 50000 martin and in fact his father's dream 60 years later is a rather does not mean for building is no then the march was planned in glory or a set of a little bit of the opening for the front window during the life you know little georgie boy was under small years and then we were playing god as a black man not a melody he was suffocated by a white police officer who kneeled on place next for

a minute and that's why the name of this market is the march on washington but it's a special name is what it will get irony off of our necks and the people here say the next guy has said demick so many have pointed out what were organizers here trying to keep this notion of this land that i was wearing there now and there's everyone getting the temperature attacked by the people out here say that the descendants of you break the mold it to then they're not in the great river if they do you know white police officers in the aggression brutality targeted black american the and the very latest the as the last 5 read you're hearing and i call it the right i'll get the data like yet another black man who was an add on down but really thought it was not in response in respect to the daughter for the day you saw i mean he said in a few moments as well and the word on the that he's traveling about the on the doorstep of for the n.l.c.

moriarty i don't think their voices are 7 directed toward the president or towards congress a president has voted for it no concern for ever ever going to american lives in the way that mongers but i have issued for total reading good has taken a little my meaningful action how does your cash i was at the lincoln memorial for the march on washington today thank you heidi. we're going to mali where west african leaders have agreed the country's transitional government must be led by a civilian and last no longer than 12 months members of the regional bloc held a summit on friday to discuss mali's future and whether to lift sanctions on the country remember the group suspended mali from its institutions shut its borders stop financial transactions as well following last week's removal of president abraham abraham. the coup that is released on thursday and proposed a 3 year period of transitional government's made idris monitoring this one from

a budget in nigeria that's a big difference between a 3 year government and a one year government which has to be led by civilian. well of course is looking at the shape of the short transition timetable simply because they believed that the military the military in mali and elsewhere in west africa had no business in being in government or rather initially remember their course asked the new military leaders in mali to return to the barracks and return . to power until the until when the delegation sent by of course met with in prison he told them that he has no interest going back to the presidential palace following months of demonstrations and protests against him so they of course summoned by the way has ended it towards a virtual meeting and from all indications in the military leadership in mali

released yesterday just to secure or get some concessions from their course leaders that seem to have failed simply because from the statements made by the various heads of state in government 14 of them with exception of mali it looks like they are keeping sanctions in place one of the key things the military leadership in mali wanted was the lifting of economic sanctions and blockades on the landlocked country today the president of course the chairman of course the president mohamed isa fool in his opening statement said. no chance that sanctions will belief to sanctions are imposed they are bitter but they are necessary appeal to force some kind of progress so the sanctions will remain in place and that will make life difficult for any negotiations what they mean the fact that he wants is even gone as far as asking other countries to close their

borders that it's not a sort of conducive environment for having discussions. exactly it's not. from all indications everything will go back to the poor the ordinary money in the street already they're complaining of high cost of goods in the market especially the food items yesterday i spoke to a family that is struggling up at those out of jobs he he went sort of by michael for the whole day and was unable to get a job no money to buy food for the family as of yesterday the family ate the last rice they had in store. god knows when they will be able to get the next supply of food in their stores so it's going to be it's going to be very very difficult for ordinary millions already before the collapse of the government of iran but look at cater the situation was terrible. imports sort of trickling in bit by bit

simply because on the on the border with. and became a fossil and recently with a border in the border with ivory coast there's been some increase in activity of groups and of course ethnic militias there so with the imposition of sanctions on mali now things are bound to get more and more difficult for the ordinary people the fear for the military or by the military was that if conditions worsen that they the ordinary person on the street may quickly turn against the new military leadership. and interests keeping an eye on developments in mali for us thank you our. states along the u.s. gulf coast are bracing for more extreme weather even as the cleanup from harken laura begins the storm did weaken late on thursday but more tornadoes and heavy rain are expected over the weekend arkan lower killed at least 6 people and left
