8:02 pm
that will put the country on the path to recovery and end the dangerous financial economic and social bleeding. got the majority of votes during parliamentary consultations the post is reserved for a son a muslim and the country secretary and based governing system that is why support from former prime minister assad to head e.d. hill heads the largest sunni bloc was essential to maintain national unity factions from a divided political landscape came together before the arrival of french president a man while mccall. the country needs to embrace the initiative of president macron because the french president is working with the international community to lift lebanon from underneath the rubble mccall returns to beirut less than a month after visiting the lebanese capital 2 days after the devastating port explosion he has become a main power broker in the political crisis leading efforts to persuade politicians

8:04 pm
a db could be held hostage by a political establishment that has been reluctant to carry out state reforms that could threaten their interests but this time they may have little choice the state is close to collapse and the international community says there won't be blank checks in the words of the new prime minister doesn't have time and this may be its last opportunity to save itself. boot. in the u.s. the wisconsin state senate is holding a special session to discuss a package of police reform measures and follows the shooting of an unarmed black man by police in the city of just over a week ago there have been largely peaceful protests there since jacob lake was left paralyzed after being shot in the back 7 times our correspondent on hendren joins me now live from commercial john i see today's special session was called by the governor but republicans said they wouldn't show up how have things gone today . that's right this is kind of like the old saying you can
8:05 pm
lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink the governor has called a special session and that means the legislature is required to come and consider whatever it is that he has proposed but they don't actually have to take any action in the legislature the governors are a democrat the legislature is run by a republican so what they plan to do in oh just about now is to gavel the session in and then to gavel it right back out again he wanted them to consider a number of measures restricting what police could do we wanted each police police agency to come up with a use of force doctrine he wanted it to be state wide as well. he wanted to ban chokeholds and there are a number of other measures he one of the legislature to consider but the republicans say they're not going to consider that they've got bills of their own but those bills differ very much one of them for instance would punish any municipality that reduced police funding by reducing state funding to that city and
8:06 pm
so their emphasis is entirely sort of more pro police and the emphasis of the governor's plan is more restrictions on police this is all happening as can osha has had several days of calm following those early more violent days you had joe biden meeting with the family of jacob blake the black man who was shot 7 times by police and remains paralyzed in the hospital and now on tuesday president trump is expecting to come here and do a tour of his own van alarmed the governor tony eve yours who wrote a note to trump saying please don't come it will only inflame tensions and then the local board of supervisors wrote and said in fact please do come we want you to to be here so it's a controversy over is it by the president coming up and a session in the legislature which is not expected to accomplish anything despite its the governor's plea for trying not to come it does seem that the visit is still
8:07 pm
going to go ahead how people that preparing for that trip. that's right if you want to guarantee that donald trump is going to come some place that perhaps the best thing to do is to tell him not to he's a stubborn man who's going to follow his own way is what has happened is the family of jacob blake has asked for peace they've asked for people not to raise up in violent protests the reverend jesse jackson has been here and he's asked people to stay home he says what donald trump wants is attention don't give it to him but there have been people in the streets who say they're going to be out here and they're going to make sure the president hears their protests against his policies and against the abuse of police the police abuse of african-americans here and across the country john hendren there on the ground for us in can our show us concent thank you very much john well donald trump has continued to tweet against
8:08 pm
democratic man and cities where racial justice protests have to have violent saying they've lost control that's after the mare of portland accuse trump of creating a culture of fear hatred and division in the u.s. portland has seen months of protests now following the killing of george for. well that's nasty trial white house correspondent can be how to joins us from washington d.c. kimberly president thompson even very busy on twitter this weekend and he seems very eager to stoke animosities in places like an ocean and portland he it seems is not being very shy about his strategy heading towards november. yeah i don't know he certainly has been accused of stoking it none of us can actually get inside his mind to know exactly what he's doing but i think the word would be seized on the protest political opportunity there in fact i think both sides may be doing a little bit of that now when it comes to racial justice and the issue of violence specifically which we should point out is separate from some of the peaceful
8:09 pm
protesting that has been occurring in the united states that is where donald trump has really zeroed in almost making the suggestion or not almost she's making the suggestion that look at if joe biden came into office this could be replicated in cities across the united states where many of these agitators who have kind of hijacked some of the peaceful protests have really gotten things out of control so what he's doing is trying to tie joe biden to this radical violent violent element that is kind of outside of the protests now as you point out he's criticized as been very vocal on twitter criticizing saying that these are anarchist thugs agitators and also really pointing a finger at the democratic mayors in some of these cities where this violence is happening saying you are bouldering them you are allowing this to go out of control essentially accusing his opponent joe biden in the remember election of being weak on crime now the white house briefing has just started killing back in to the press secretary is talking now defending the president's decision to go to no show
8:10 pm
wisconsin as john hendren has been talking what we know right now is that he will be surveying some of the damage from the violence that occurred there prior to the national guard being sent in to quell that outbreak of rioting and kimberly we are also expecting to hear from joe biden very shortly to. absolutely this is kind of a dueling narrative that's taking place in the same hour what we have is joe biden going to pittsburgh pennsylvania pennsylvania a very critical battleground state again in 2020 like we saw in 2016 he's going to be speaking at the bottom of the hour on $1730.00 if it starts on time what he's going to say is that he believes donald trump is fanning the flames of racial division sowing hate and inflaming the tensions he's also going to talk about his handling of the pandemic that essentially he didn't do enough in or the early stages of this pandemic and he hasn't done enough now in order to bring the economy
8:11 pm
back but the real focus is going to be this issue of social justice of racial division he's going to accuse donald trump of forfeiting his moral leadership that he can't stop the violence because he is fomenting it according to joe biden and also he is a bold new white nationalists and so in chaos so very strong words from both men on either side so we're really watching as they kind of weaponized this issue in the midst of it all we're just following carefully to see how this plays out will it make things worse or will things calm down it's not clear and we'll be speaking to candy how could on the other side of that speech as well that's now thank you very much combining white house advisor jared kushner has arrived in the united arab emirates from israel on the 1st direct flight by an israeli carrier between those 2 nations is joined by an israeli delegation this visit follows a u.s. brokered deal between israel and the u.a.e.
