8:05 am
recognize the beautiful murder of emmett till 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 this same level of equity to ensure equal protection under the law is afforded to all citizens citizens so 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 taken to the streets and protesting in louisville kentucky now it condones the west consonant in d.c. today because we recognize that this moment we must fight with all we have to ensure democracy work for all and turn out the vote in november because our lives depend on. his lead role in black panther has died at the age of 43 it been battling colon cancer he was diagnosed 4 years ago some of his other
8:06 am
prominent work was playing black icons jackie robinson and james brown died at his home in los angeles with his wife and family by his side will tributes to him coming in from many across the u.s. democratic presidential nominee joe biden tweeted his condolences saying the true power of chadwick boseman was bigger than anything we saw on screen he went on to say the actor quote inspired generations and showed them that they can be anything they want even superheroes actress feel that davis also paid tribute saying there were no words to express her sadness at boesmans passing she also said it was an honor to work and get to know him and chris evans who starred alongside bozeman in the avengers movies praised his acting saying he was an original and a deeply committed artist he went on to say that the black panther star had so much amazing work still left to create let's speak to kelly carter in los angeles she's a senior entertainment writer for the undefeated and covered chadwick boseman extensively over the years kelly thanks for talking to us at this time what was his
8:07 am
legacy. you know it's generally slows which i meant was his legacy honestly was helping to transform the entire industry in hollywood last year was the 1st film that was predominantly black with a budget of that size that also resonated globally that was the film that was going to determine frankly how this industry would see cast that looked like people like janet bozeman even the on the show and michael b. jordan and so on and so forth and he understood that the importance that was that state you know it's been a little bit at a time where it chadwick and the cast of black now they're on the set of black and then we start the extensively about what that moment felt like and i think to look back at that time answer realize that he was privately battling cancer makes the fight that he knew he had in hollywood you know it's just all the more important one thing and surely it really makes you understand just how special of
8:08 am
a human being shaklee really was and just talk about that private battle against cancer for a 2nd kelly i mean what does it say about the man not the act but the man who was engaged with other big issues pertinent to who he was as a hollywood star but you know at a time when people call it celebrity when it's all about how many like so how many followers you get on instagram or tick talk or twitter or facebook or wherever he kept that well and truly off the radar the fact that he was so seriously ill. yeah you know he really did i think that says a lot of not that one but i think the most important thing that it probably says about him that if he did he was to this and history and some fine in success in this and history chadwick if you really try to come back and think about it there's only been famous for about 8 years that's right around the time we 1st met him was about to come out in pretoria jackie robinson in 42 but at the time everyone was
8:09 am
more focused on their recent war which sounds crazy because that truly is about jackie robinson but here is important for us is the big time anchor that he was going to give but in a cease and chatted with the up and coming actor just a mere 8 years ago his performance in order to inspire more who's one of the producers at marvel who ultimately produced black panther and said that projects abide by saying i think we should make and 75 years that i think we should make a black panther film and i think that this kid that. you know in the shaklee robinson bio pic should probably be the guy that rich raised last yonkers so you know that's kind of very important force of things happened for him and while chad wait was promoting james brown was when he got the call that they wanted to talk to him about being the black panther so you can imagine someone who really was just starting to get their footing in hollywood getting a call like that ultimately of frankly the 1000000000 dollar you know film was huge
8:10 am
was a major moment and he obviously really wanted to drink in our land and take on as many wolves as humanly possible you look behind me you see this black panther poster this is always there when i host a show of my own i'm interviewing actors and it's there because the day that the black panther opened i talked to chad wait and he gifted this poster to me and had asked sign it because i've been a part of you know his own journey i think he was just such a really great human being and just a special person and you don't often have that kind of interaction i think with with people. that merely speaks to their personal relation let's mantua lives sure just to go back to the point you were talking about there kerry when you were on the set of black panther you know when you were in the orbit did he feel community comfortable with him and i'm not being i'm not criticizing the film per se because it was a you know a rip roaring movie like all the marvel movies are but there were people who gently
8:11 am
they didn't criticize the film that in criticize him but they raised an issue kind of off in the shadows and the issue was this and they said look this is white hollywood america interpretating a black superhero you know it wasn't made in any of the african countries the there weren't members who were notes of billy of africa immediately of african descent they went for actors who were available to them in that kaleidoscope of the casting system within the hollywood machine was that something that you engaged with with him as that broader debate because that movie whilst it was it was a here today gone tomorrow superior that here a movie it did raise so many questions for so many people who engage with the character in part because he was so completely and obviously invested in what he was doing. yes no not at all i think i think the important thing for chad way especially with bringing you know it's
8:12 am
a challenge like was that you know the history of black people in america is is ugly you know and there's really no way around that in so many of us are not connected with where our families are from but this role really made him feel like he was able to connect wave in his own country one convert is obviously a fictional country in the continent of africa but it made him it reminded him that that we were you know descendants of kings and queens and that is something that he talked about in that he felt quite full about that moment and i think that the collaboration with write a letter to both co-wrote and directed the film gave him the confidence that this film will be done right in correctly and so if there was any chatter about that i don't think any of that made its way to chadwick and most certainly that the cab they surely operated inside of a bubble you have to understand they were shooting the film while there was a lot of things happening around the country and ultimately the world we were only
8:13 am
30 days into a donald trump presidency there were protests and women's marches that were happening miles away from them in atlanta and they were also happening globally in protest of this newly minted american president and they had to supply stor you know and stay away from kind of all of that and lock themselves and the 10 or 12 hour days to really bring this massive comes to light. great still to thank you so much for coming on and sharing with us your experience up close and working with and having covered. this wonderful actor chadwick boseman kennicott today in los angeles good to talk to tony thank you jim. still to come here on this program worried about new guidelines or because top infectious disease expert says he is concerned over the way some states in the united states are opening up. staking a controversial claim on the white continent chile reaffirms its sovereignty over and talk to.
8:14 am

8:15 am
these time which is end of august beginning of september about 10 degrees above the average that we had down into central and southern africa temperatures hackles nourse as high as that plenty of rain again through the central regions and then also more showers and say gusty winds through much of south africa coastal areas in particular cape town on tools port elizabeth the next few days it doesn't prove in cape town his days mostly dry sunday on to choose day but stays very unsettled through much of the port elizabeth. after years of over grazing the damage caused to the precious grasslands of chile is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation projects. they're pretty emblematic of the kind of hands out if they're plentiful and they're like this and. then you know that the system is going back and that they feel no friends. and that's why you know i farm green wilding patagonia on al-jazeera.
8:16 am
you're watching al-jazeera welcome if you're just joining us a quick recap of your top stories for you so far this tens of thousands of people have rallied in washington in a renewed drive for criminal justice reform and racial equality it happened on the 57th anniversary of martin luther king jr's i have a dream speech. chadwick boseman has died of colon cancer at the age of 43 he was best known for his lead role in the black panther movies as well as playing black icons jackie robinson and james brown he died at his home in los angeles. u.s.
8:17 am
president donald trump says he is the only thing standing between democracy and the mob he made the comments at a campaign rally in new hampshire a day after formally accepting the republican nomination to run for a 2nd it ascribed the people who tried to drown out his speech at the white house yesterday as fogg's before criticizing his opponent joe biden. you know we can i name joe biden he's weak he's weak as hell a weak guy like joe biden didn't even bring law and order up as a subject for discussion in the entire democrat national convention now they're all of a sudden. now they realize because they've gone down like a rock in water they've gone down in the polls and now all of a sudden they're talking or when we have to talk about trying mike hanna has more for us now from washington. he hopes to get traction from that meeting last night
8:18 am
the end of the republican convention which president trump did the closing speech he's hoping to keep them and then tim going hence he straight out on the campaign trail to new hampshire now you new hampshire is personal to president trump on one level because in 2016 he lost fair to hillary clinton by a very slim margin just 2700 votes he's intent on winning new hampshire this time around in the denver 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 certainly in new hampshire just the beginning of what is likely to be a lengthy campaign trail he left aerated 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 looters you heard as well his reference to those who demonstrated peacefully outside the
8:19 am
convention of the white house describing them as loosely awful terms as well so certainly president trump is going to ratchet 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. 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 does appear to show a turkish jet chasing and locking its guns onto a greek fighter aircraft turkey's defense ministry says the greek pilots were entering the airspace of an area where turkish ships are conducting a search for potential gas fields the region is claimed by both turkey and greece earlier the e.u. policy chief joseph barrell said the e.u. could sanction turkey if there's no progress in resolving this maritime dispute 1st
8:20 am
you know there now we are 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 in these kind of david is mandating prohibiting the use of that would be on boards it will be in capacities technology a cinema in istanbul with the turkish reaction to the threat of sanctions from the e.u. . 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
8:21 am
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 in a white the e.u. and even member states not to 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 because the result of 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. on the greek reaction from athens. the sanctions according to certain leaks that have been made would include would begin
8:22 am
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 separate 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 cause. is facing an

investigation of the violations against the protesters and 6 people were abducted and others were wounded when men in military uniforms opened fire bashar has labeled the gunman outlawed infiltrators but later admitted to tripoli allied militia had fired at the demonstrators. several u.s. states will not be following new advice from the country's top health institutes reduce coronavirus testing california texas and new york say they will continue testing asymptomatic people who come into contact with covert 19 patients the centers for disease control and prevention changed its testing guidance this week but it denies it was pressured into doing so by the trumpet ministration. america's top infectious disease expert has voiced concerns over the guidelines dr anthony fauji is a leading member of the white house coronavirus task force in an interview with my colleague mary i'm not he says he's concerned some regions aren't opening up in
8:24 am
a careful 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
8:25 am
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
8:26 am
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. bolivia has announced an easing of coronavirus related restrictions the interim president janine has acknowledged there could be a 2nd wave but says it's become a choice between the virus and mass hunger libya's economy was already in decline and of course for the devastated when the pandemic hit. if not the coronavirus then it will be a corona hunger because one becomes desperate when not having the economic conditions to bring food home. a value anymore we will evaluate god forbid there
8:27 am
should be a new outbreak but there's always that possibility and the pandemic has taught us much during this time. cuba is tightening restrictions after recording its highest jumping cases in 6 weeks and overnight curfew will come into effect on september the 1st measures in june but the movement of people between provinces caused a spike in infections. in cuba unfortunately we did not know how to take care of our country sacrifice the measures reported yesterday by the vice president of the have on a defense council that are going to be applied as of september 1st are a sit back it is a sit back to to fix the health the economy the politics but especially the health and the economy of the cubans chillies government is claiming sovereignty over parts of and toxic but the effort is being disputed by argentina and the u.k. the frozen continents rich natural resources of long been protected under international deals the sea and human from santiago. this is antarctica
8:28 am
according to the antarctic treaty signed in 1961 by 54 countries it's a continent to be used only for scientific purposes and that it belongs to no one. in the us this week chile's president said last damping it up went to the southernmost tip of the country to announce that he was in acting in antarctic statute recently approved by congress. but today we are taking an important step to strengthen better protect and defend a vocation and destiny that chile has had since its inception we reaffirm our rights our sovereignty and our presence over the white continent. speaking from the magellan streets near the city of that in us which is described as the gateway to antartica yet it was seen to be responding to argentina's desire to expand its antarctic platform beyond 200 miles this would conflict with the interests of both
8:29 am
chile and great britain all 3 countries claim sovereignty on overlapping parts of antarctica how is this possible if no one is supposed to own it but i was ill and they were not to put it simply chile hodge and tina australia new zealand the u.k. and france excepted to put their claims on ice as it were but they have no. ever renounced their claims of sovereignty when they signed the antarctic treaty and so far there's been no problem. chile has 9 antarctic bases 4 of which have a permanent presence including families and church and a post office nearby there are russian and chinese scientific basis in practice sovereignty isn't really an issue as long as the antarctic treaty is respected but many countries not just chile want to demonstrate that they were there 1st as a kind of color ization just in case things should change there is this notion that . it is a fool continent of resources that could eventually be in explode it. one
8:30 am
day finally the treaty is broken you would have you were going to actually you know that you're part pretty now conflicting claims are limited to diplomatic spat paradoxically chile and argentina a cooperating to convince signatories to form a marine protected area around the antarctic peninsula only russia and china are opposed to the idea of declaring the seas around the antarctic off limits to human exploitation you see in human al-jazeera santiago. recapping our top stories for you here on al-jazeera tens of thousands of people have rallied in washington in a renewed drive for criminal justice reform and racial equality they called another march on washington on the 57th anniversary of martin luther king jr's i have
