a crowd of some 50000 marchers at his father's vision of an equal society still looms unfulfilled we still struggle for justice. demilitarizing the police dismantling mass incarceration and declaring and determinedly as we can that black labs mera. friday's march was announced at the funeral of george floyd who was killed by a white police officer who knelt on his neck. floyd's death sparked months of protests across america if we got a march every day if we got a vote every day we will get you know neither of our and narrow. tens of thousands of people are participating in this peaceful march temperature checks and masks those are all precautions the protesters say a pandemic could not keep them home because with or without black americans are

being gunned down by police officers earlier this week in another flashpoint the shooting of jacob blake in wisconsin an officer shot him 7 times in the back paralyzing him in front of his children. exited cameras and young bright black and brown people suffer. the marchers say president trump doesn't care about black americans and some members of congress have floated proposals for change but little action has been taken hopefully our efforts don't go unheard hopefully we can really makes a legislative change hopefully we can make some political change and hopefully we can really move forward from this moment just as hope was in the air in 1963 it's here now it was in the voice of martin luther king's granddaughter. my grandmother's dream and after this march there will be more protests to come the

protestors say if their voices aren't heard here they will be during the presidential election in november. castro 0 washington. well derrick johnson is the president and c.e.o. of the national association of the advancement of colored people he says friday's speech is one of resonated with people across the united states it was a call to action the reality that our constitution guarantee that everyone was created equal that it dad was certain it inevitable rights when it came to african-americans we could not take that commitment to the bank of justice and so we are seeing that same reality today 65 years ago we had a young man who was lynched in money mississippi many people who gathered in 1983 recognized the beautiful murder of the material it was one of the sparks that started the civil rights movement as we know it and here we are 65 years later

still calling on the same level of equity to ensure equal protection under the law is afforded to all citizens citizens but particularly african-americans in this moment for african-americans we understand and we've seen this before in our history and that's why you see so many people taking to the streets and protesting in louisville kentucky now it could also west consonant in d.c. today because we recognize that this moment we both fight with all we have to ensure democracy works for all and turn out the vote in november because our lives depend on us president donald trump has used his 1st campaign rally since the republican national convention to talk but testers were posed his big speech event was held in new hampshire trump's formally accepted the republican nomination on thursday he described the people who protested outside the white house during his acceptance speech as the suggs voice of any criticizing his opponent joe biden for

mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. at mikes up president trump they're wasting no time getting back on the campaign trail what more is even saying and why is new hampshire so important. and he hopes to get traction from that meeting last night the end of the republican convention which president trump did the closing speech he's hoping to keep the momentum going hence you straight out on the campaign trail to new hampshire now new hampshire is personal to president trump on one level because in 2016 he lost to hillary clinton by a very slim margin just 2700 votes he's intent on winning new hampshire this time around in november and it's a critical state for him it's controlled by the democrats and to win there would mean that he would stand a greater chance of winning elsewhere as that election continues so certainly in new hampshire just the beginning of what is likely to be

a lengthy campaign trail over the next few weeks leading into that election in november daryn and mike at the moment the polls for joe biden are looking pretty good especially most of the key battleground states but we still have a long way to go there once on november. here's well joe biden has been consistently ahead in most of the polls at one stage even having a leave of some 10 percent in certain areas key for joe biden though is to turn those states that voted for trump back in 2016 to turn them into democrat states which would also incidentally perhaps give the democrats control of the senate which is another 18 in this particular election but president trump has made quite clear what his campaign is going to be he repeated it new hampshire in the course of that meeting in an aircraft hangar pointing out that he believed joe biden to be weak he lacerated joe biden accusing him of various things of being

a stooge of the left wing of the party he also incidentally lashed out at those who've been protesting in recent months and weeks describing them as. you heard as well his reference to those who demonstrated peacefully outside the convention of the white house describing them as indeed absolutely awful terms as well so certainly president trump is going to wretched up the tenor of his anger in the weeks to come very clearly he's going to single out joe biden and he is going to go on the attack no holds barred is very clear so we're in for a very bruising few weeks and months leading into that election in november all right to my kind of there live for us in washington d.c. mike thank you turkey claims it's repelled an attempt by 6 greek fighter jets to enter its airspace video from the cockpit of a turkish f. 16 appears to show a turkish jet chasing unlocking its guns on to

a group fighter jets turkey's defense ministry says the greek pilots were entering the airspace of an area where turkish ships are conducting gas exploration earlier the e.u. policy chief said the bloc could sanction to if there's no progress in resolving the maritime dispute. first you know there now we're listing personalities we can pass to least assets ships we can pass through. sanctions the participation of activities that we conceived of the illegal in means everything related with working and discussing the duties man the prohibiting the use of european poor g.d.p. and capacities technology for some concern areas in istanbul with the turkish reaction to the threat of sanctions i have spoken to thomas some turkish diplomats

from the foreign ministry today basically as one of the turkish diplomats puts it through. regarding edge of the 4 hour statement this is a legal issue between turkey and greece based on the legal rights of 2 countries on the waters off that huge and sea 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 in a white the e.u. and e.u. member states not the support we says 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 because the leaders are 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. has more on the greek reaction from. the sanctions according to certain leaks that have been made would include would begin from the energy sector from sanctioning individuals and ships and companies supplying those ships that are involved in the exploration but they could extent massively they could extend to e.u. states to turkey to bank loans being given by e.u. bank to turkish companies and individuals and they could extend to travel restrictions to individuals so the climate at today's informal meeting shows that europe has finally rallied behind greece and cyprus it has largely adopted greek and superior positions to put pressure on turkey to come to the table greece wants negotiations to begin on the basis of international maritime law and should they fail it wants turkey to commit or hand to arbitration at the

international court at the hague the interior minister of libya's u.n. recognize government has been suspended after a shooting at a demonstration this week the government of national courts party the shabda is facing an investigation of the violations against the protesters at least 6 people were abducted and others wounded when men in military uniforms opened fire a shot that had labeled the gunmen outlawed infiltrators but later admitted a tripoli allowed militia had fired at the peaceful demonstrators. time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back u.n. peacekeepers in southern lebanon are under pressure along one of the most volatile borders in the world. and the scale of displacement in afghanistan is emerging we'll have the latest on the unfolding humanitarian disaster in can do is promise more on that stay with us.

existing go to sanction regime. this is the nation showing individuals. by political level but the b.l.o. russian president who hasn't been sanctioned himself is unmoved alexander lukashenko says if more sanctions come he will cut off transit routes through his country for e.u. goods destined for russia and the baltic states he says he will listen to farmers workers and students collectives but not those on the streets. of violent thugs who roam the streets and shout that they want a dialogue they don't want dialogue and nobody from the authorities will hold any negotiations on the street if there are seen people from the opposition which see its country is free and independent welcome but while he wants to be seen as ready to listen has put his armed forces in combat ready mode and appealed to russia for

help president vladimir putin has said he is prepared to send a police reserve if necessary some people in the west have likened the opposition movement in belarus to those that toppled communism in eastern europe in the late 1980 s. the german chancellor angela merkel lived through those times in berlin which is why she feels an empathy with the protesters in jail or us and believes their grievances should be heard. of the i hope the group that have now courageously taken to the streets the people who have denounced abuses that they will have that degree of freedom which we can take for granted freedom of demonstration freedom of opinion. by bringing in targeted sanctions the e.u. is trying to deliver a clear message to alexander ucas shameka but in return his message is equally clear he is not going anywhere anytime soon dominic kane al-jazeera berlin.

the german hospital treating the russian opposition figure alexina valley's says there are some signs of improvement but he remains in a medically induced coma have said there are indications that support claims the 44 year old was poisoned russian authorities there insist there's no evidence of any crime germany's foreign minister says they'll be diplomatic consequences for moscow if it's proven that the valley was poisoned as part of a state initiated murder attempt the un security council has approved cuts to its peacekeeping force in southern lebanon a monday it's been extended for a year but the number of troops has been reduced by 2000 after pressure from the united states and israel they say the force known as unifil needs to take more action against hezbollah are kristensen to me as more. tension in southern lebanon where israeli mortars and allegedly has bola fighters criss cross the border that's the backdrop to a u.n. security council unanimous decision to keep the unifil peacekeeping force

patrolling here as they have since the end of the war in 2006 it's important for the security of people and it will be for the security of israel and egypt wouldn't exist i believe and occurring in the region in a context that is very volatile and we all know that. the decision comes just weeks after an added unexpected challenge and unifil ship was damaged and several peacekeepers injured in the august 4th explosions that leveled not only the port of beirut but also lebanon's government which is stepped down amid accusations of corruption nonetheless the united nations says it remains focused on the mission at the insistence of the united states this new mandate calls for full and prompt access to areas that unifil has been wanting to investigate including tunnels crossing the border to israel the united states accuses hezbollah of blocking unifil is main goal which is keeping southern lebanon free from arms and fighters

the u.n. secretary general who has 60 days to come up with a plan credits the mission with defusing tensions over the so-called blue line i think the secretary general's been very clear in the importance of the role that unifil plays i mean we see it today right it's a critical role it's hard to to imagine what would happen if unifil was not there. for now the world won't have to although in one year the mandate expires in the issue returns to the u.n. for debate once more christian salumi al-jazeera the united nations several us states will not be following new advice from the country's top health institute to reduce coronavirus testing states including california texas and new york say they'll continue testing asymptomatic people who come into contact with coded 19 patients the centers for disease control and prevention chains its testing guidance

this week but it denies it was pressured into doing so by the trumpet ministrations . america's top infectious disease expert has voiced concerns over the guidelines dr anthony fauci is a leading member of the white house coronavirus task force in an interview with my colleague the mozzie he says he's concerned some regions aren't opening up in a careful and considered way but if you take a look at what's going on right now even at a steady state we're having between $35.45 infections per day so even if things don't get worse you know you have more infections and when you have more infections you have more deaths so hopefully we'll be much better prepared to do 2 things to diminish the number of actual infections and by doing that to diminish the number of deaths because as you know we've been hanging around a 1000 deaths per day for quite a period of time right now we've got to get that number down and if we do then we

would have many more deaths but if we don't do something about it we can continue to have that steady you know rather high number of deaths every day that we've seen over the last several weeks to several months actually and of course there is this clash isn't there between the medical advice and the economic imperatives you must be concerned about the prime the chair lifting of lockdowns leading to new outbreaks of the pandemic and resulting in more infections and sadly more deaths. well that's really the problem that we faced in the united states you know we got hit very badly in the northeastern part of a country dominated by the new york metropolitan area which at one time during the outbreak accounted for close to 50 percent of all the infections hospitalizations and deaths as the northeastern part of the country got on the much better control

as we try to open up the country for economic reasons southern states such as florida texas arizona and california began to have the surges that lifted our backgrounds from 20000 cases a day up to as high as 70000 now as i mentioned we're back down to somewhere between 35 and 45000 cases our concern right now is that there are other regions of the country particularly the midwest in which this inklings of the same problem namely as you try to open up the country if you don't do it in a careful measured way. the united nations is concerned over the condition of over 50000 people displaced from their homes due to violence in afghanistan's condones problems the taliban has recently taken for the bases despite talks with the
