leave after throwing bottles at officers and setting fire to newspaper boxes for more on all of this let's bring in our castor she's in maryland. let's start with portland another shooting death in a highly charged protest it really feels like tension is escalating across the country. that's right of these tensions are in a sense prolonged by the unanswered questions surrounding this portland shooting what we do know is that this victim was a white man who reportedly was wearing insignia tied to a far right group we have video of him walking across the street then you hear some gunshots and he falls to the ground he was pronounced dead at the scene but the big looming question is who pulled the trigger perhaps we'll have some more information on that when the police in portland offer a press conference later today but we know about the events leading up to the shooting there was this was the 3rd consecutive saturday of clashes between the

black flies matter protesters and pro trump supporters now on this saturday caravan of some 600 vehicles carrying those supporters went inside of portland and they were confronted by the counter protesters the black lives matter protesters who try to block their entrance into the city by the police reports we know there were some fist fights there were objects thrown at each other there were paint balls and paint guns involved but what exactly preceded those moments before this man was shot and killed that is still unknown now president trump on twitter this morning tweeted a video of this caravan of pro trump supporters calling them great patriots and earlier last week he said at the republican national convention that portland was an example of a city in chaos because it is controlled by democratic leaders who have failed to contain what he says is anarchy this has been almost 100 days of protests most

times peaceful sometimes not within portland since the death of george floyd and this morning the white house chief of staff mark meadows said that all options are on the table perhaps with more federal officers trying to take control of that violence in portland. we've had over 200 and are curious and they're not peaceful protesters these are people that every single night conduct violent acts in and it is in democrat cities you know you want to talk about donald trump's. america most of donald trump's america is peaceful it is a a democrat led city important that we're talking about this morning. and of course it has been quite a week here in the united states with portland now and earlier in the week of course the violence wasn't can no show wisconsin where protesters who were protesting the police shooting of jacob lake were shot apparently by

a white teenager who was affiliated with lanty groups that were also pro trump now the president plans on visiting can no show in person on tuesday and he's facing some backlash there he has no plans at this point to meet with jacob lake who is now paralyzed however he does plan on meeting with the law enforcement with police groups there and we'll be watching very closely indeed for that for us following developments from maryland thank you heidi well moving on now and has announced a series of labor reforms for the 1st time it sets a monthly minimum wage for employees regardless of nationality or type of job it also gives back is the ability to change employers without needing their sponsors approval in one con has the story. after a 2 year long consultation process with the u.n. body the international labor organization the state of cattle has announced sweeping reforms in the way employees are treated in the gulf state some of the

be prepared but also when it comes to the minimum wage there actually has to be a study done on the needs of the workers councils largest export populations come from bangladesh pakistan the philippines and india the government says that the minimum wage will be beneficial to both employees and the country this is part of it bigger picture there reforms 1st laws are very good these 2 new 2 major announcements so they are fantastic for the country but implementation is equally as important so we will be working with the government here. ensuring that the labor inspectors are fully aware of the legislation making sure that the workers are aware making sure that the enterprises companies the private sector is aware because i was hoping these reforms will also address concerns in the run up to the football world cup in 2022 human rights groups have highlighted various issues about workers in the country that include deaths on construction sites and inadequate living conditions in the last 6 years 34 workers have died during the

whole river not from doing well off from across the central part of sudan is primarily i'm not sure of the disaster no one can argue against that and that the defense system that is defense or the bridges are all that that the british in mechanism which only you need to understand very well they have failed to deal with it not because of the failure of the system i'm always been a critic of the government but this is serious i think we have to be to give 6 right that advantage of that what these can hold in terms of quarter is being frock and it's a broken record it's quite heavy flooding naturally they come with serious health issues there will be loss of b c's loss of property even now some environmentalist are trying to help the country by giving them warning about next insects which will come out of the water it's a very serious humanitarian crisis come don't it's a natural crises nothing to do is it down but it needs the government when it's the

that on the other hand there has been on precedence of the bouts of a collaboration among scientists and public health officials across many countries in the world open databases as well as rollback bargain prints in a way that's actually never happened before so while yes there are some elements of the vaccine race that are concerning overall i do think we are moving in the right direction. but again this is out of there and these are the headlines police and batteries have detained at least 125 people as protests the end to a 3rd week demonstrators are demanding political change president alexander lukashenko is accused of rigging his reelection this month by bennett smith has more on a planned meeting between lucas sanka and russia's president. both leaders have spoken and they've agreed to meet in moscow sometime in the next few weeks so
