state senator district 21 highly respected person actually thank you very much as a thank you very much great as it. happens files that. comment to us was that he in the united states is saying that that is a worse every other city and the fact that we did good things at the drop of the scar has been phenomenal our law enforcement people that work at it the other our law enforcement people that work better together usually work pretty well together and solve these doors but this really helps them right there's a lot to do there as president trump visits can osha to see the damage by rioters ignoring requests to stay away. and i doubt i've listed badger watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up . protests against lebanon's leaders as the french president visits again

and threatens its politicians with sanctions. scores of students detained as they march in batteries demanding the president lukashenko resign. and why many hong kong residents are deeply skeptical of a mass khurana coronavirus testing campaign underway in the city. below us president donald trump has arrived in the wisconsin city that has faced days of protests after the police shooting of an unarmed black man that is despite the state's leaders urging him to stay away fearing his presence could trigger more violent unrest trumps accused democratic leaders of being weak in the face of to demonstrators prompting calls that his visit is of more about the election campaign than an attempt to bring calm tensions remain. high in the city often jacob plate

was shot in the back 7 times leaving him paralyzed in a trunk will not be nice in his family during this to sit. in and we're going to really say hello to law enforcement and the national guard and it all stopped immediately upon the national guard's arrival so you know be easy to stop i saw last night where these radical anarchists were trying to. get into the mare's house and lots of bad things wrapping this poor foolish very stupid bear i mean how he could be married i have no idea but all yes you do is call and within 10 minutes their problem will be over will take a blake's uncle has called on the people of connection to be peaceful and support his family along with local leaders they've been holding a justice for jacob community celebration sharing trumps that yeah we're asking

people not to be violent not to destroy our community but in the same breath we're asking to stand with the black family come on over here we were not mad at you when instead you're angry and upset and we could see why you would want to burn some guy who asked you not to that 1st that you put up an anchor where it's going to raise up high and unity to come or go with the blacks we're going to make some big changes that affect all the little jakes over. this is john hendrick can join us live now from such a why exactly has trump go into condition when he was off not. right your governor asked the president not to come here and of course president trump took that as a dare and he said he's counting here to thank law enforcement for the work they've done and also it seems to take a little credit he seems to feel that his efforts have helped quiet this city although it should be said that governor tony was the one who called out the

national guard here not president trump the president has the power to nationalize them but that is not what has happened here and the whole idea of dropping president trump into a place where there have been black lives matter protests for over a week is a little like introducing a match to a powder keg and we've got some fireworks behind me where you've got some trump supporters mixing in with black lives matter supporters and there are some shout downs but so far it's actually been fairly calm and relaxed that is not what we saw the 1st few nights of protests but it has been calm for many days since hundreds of police descended on the notion now we're little bit earlier we went to the spot where jacob blake was shot 7 times by a police officer here and that is where his family is having a celebration they're having a quiet celebration and they did not want to see the president they were the initial talks about that but they wanted their lawyers involved and then today the

uncle of jacob blake justin blake said he wanted the president to stay away from his family so now once everything is you've got the president here he's having his emergency meeting with the commanders here and what you've gone out in the street both sides you've got trump fans in black lives matter fans all out here sort of meeting together but so far it's been relatively peaceful which is good news and in . i mean the thing is it's not just about him wanting to be the law and order president is it it's also because the state of wisconsin is particularly crucial isn't it in the upcoming election. that's right wisconsin's a swing state and president from probably would not have been president had he not won it in 2000 and the interestingly could know she here is a swing town in his way the pump in 2016 it voted for the democratic governor tony in 28000 so it could swing either way and that's kind of why the battle lines have

been drawn here in wisconsin joe biden the democratic presidential candidate has spent time talking to the family here he's focused on what's going on here and then you've got president trump calling for a law and order to different sides to the same coin here. but what is happening now is the family is trying to stay away from the trump advance they are simply focusing on trying to get jacob blake to his house to improve courses sitting in a hospital bed lying in a hospital bed because he's paralyzed from the waist down and this is become something of a political football town 100 where the nation is that connection. well meanwhile president trump has denied rumors that a series of mini strokes were behind an unscheduled hospital visit last year at a school and i just now with kimberly how has the white house what would you know kimberly. well it was a bit of an unusual statement that was abruptly released from the president's

doctor dr sean connelly what his statement said was that the president had not been evaluated or nor had he experienced a mini stroke a stroke or even a heat emergency the question becomes why did the statement suddenly come out well in the last day or so there have been questions particularly on social media following a tweet by the former president bill clinton's press secretary his name is joe lockhart and he is suggesting that the president had not been honest with the american people about his visit to walter reed medical center last november it was a hasty visit there was never really a lot of clarity provided from the white house other than of that they said that the president was completing some routine medical tests but if you look at the video of that visit it was clear that there was an urgency to it that did not seem in any way to be routine so in the absence of what the public might consider an

acceptable or logical explanation there has been room to poke at the potential that the president may be hiding something from the american public so much so that not only did the white house or rather the medical doctor of the president released the statement but president himself donald trump tweeting today that this is all fake news and perhaps the speculation should be geared towards a candidate from another party and there have been questions about joe biden the democratic presidential nominee's mental acuity from donald trump and his supporters this is been revived in the last 24 hours given that his speech in pittsburgh at a couple of points he lost track of where he was in his speech even though he was using a teleprompter seemed confused about a statement he was making about coronavirus and how long to hit hit the united states so it appears that both men are attacking each other. and their ability to do the job you have to kind of wonder if this isn't too surprising given the

advanced age of both candidates donald trump is 74 years of age running for reelection joe biden is 77 and running to win the white house indeed complete how could the white house thank you facebook says it has suspended a russian influence operation targeting left wing voters in the u.s. and hugh k. it says the operation was centered around a site purporting to be an independent news provider website operated 13 facebook accounts on 2 pages social media firms said it was run by individuals associated with the st petersburg based internet research agency which u.s. intelligence says is linked to the state russia denies those allegations and says it does not interfere in the domestic politics of other countries. the norwegian parliament has been hit by a cyber attack norway's national assembly said hackers had managed to download data from its service but they don't know how much data was accessed the attackers also

broke into the e-mail accounts of several elected members. now major political protests have once again been taking place in lebanon's capital beirut this time coinciding with a visit by the french president emanuel. police fired tear gas to disperse protesters outside the parliament building in the center of the city there are widespread queues for total political change lebanon's government resigned after the devastating port explosion 4 weeks ago which many blamed on government mismanagement. or micro mess his lebanese counterparts michel aoun for top level talks while a french air force fly past displayed the colors of the lebanese flag to mark 100 years since the creation of the country he also toured the ruins of that port of call is shuttle to speak shortly where he's expected to call for the swift

formation of a new government and i was there as a hoarder is in beirut and following those events for us and say now what exactly is my call hoping to achieve from this 2nd visit. well here's hoping like you mention for the swift formation of a government a government that is able and willing to carry out much needed reforms as well as fight corruption in the state this has been a long time to mand of the international community in order for billions of dollars in much needed financial assistance to be unlocked lebannon was in the gauche ations with the international monetary fund those negotiations stalled because politicians the ruling elite they were not willing to carry out those reforms because if they do they would weaken their hold on power they have been exploiting

the state's resources for years for decades they've used the public sector to absorb unemployment among among their supporters so mccrone telling them that you're not going to get any bailout and the economy which really has hit the ground in lebanon will not be able to revive and we heard mccraw earlier today even suggest that in sri months time if those reforms are not carried out then the ruling elite the members of the ruling elite could be sanctioned what we understand is that macross press conference was delayed because he is holding talks with the different leaders of lebanon's various political parties we saw protesters out on the streets earlier say now how do they feel about the visits of the french president. well mixed feelings because people who have taken to the streets believe that their voices have not been heard they want an independent government yesterday a new prime minister was appointed

a little known figure and really it was it came as a surprise which led many to believe that he was appointed under french pressure because lebanese politicians it would have taken the months really of political wrangling before coming up with a name so they believe the international community that pinned a lot of hopes on the international community to get rid of the political class which has been governing this country for decades but mccollum's answer to them was he's not our choice and at the end of the day you elected these politicians i didn't elect them and if you want to bring about change you're going to have to do that yourselves what the international community can do is exerting pressure on these politicians to bring to bring about change so many people feel that what they've wanted this independent government that is not going to happen they have little faith that those in power will actually carry out reforms because like we mentioned once they do that they automatically become much weaker and there are those who believe that france really is intervening in the internal affairs of

lebanon because what mccraw has done and this is his 2nd trip in less than a month is really project influence and project power he chose when he wanted to come back to lebanon and such a symbolic date 100 years since the creation of the group of greater lebanon which was proclaimed by the french mandate authorities and he's had a very packed schedule and he chose when he was going to meet lebanese officials say to him by reach thank you. thousands of students in better recess capital have gathered to call for president alexander lukashenko to resign scores were arrested among the ongoing arrests triggered by an election result that the opposition claims was rigged the u.n. says it has received reports of hundreds of cases of torture mistreatment of protesters and a smith reports now from the if you anian capital bilious. had barely older than a teenager makes no difference to belarus is masked security forces the courts the

the opposition says the result is great. there's not much sympathy for the opposition from the kremlin nor for the baltic states that have spoken out against lukashenko the revision of substance and it's going to scuttle word we see no one is trying to hide it that our little whiny and neighbors in my opinion have crossed all lines of decency in the demands they're putting forward we have reason to believe that they along with a chicken off sky are using not completely democratic methods which don't exactly respect the sovereignty of the republic of belarus such as on wednesday look at the cloud over what he called the eventful summer where they said that about looks. and now washington says it's considering sanctions on russia if it's as a senior u.s. official put it in moscow to intervene more overtly. bernard smith al-jazeera a brazilian i still had saw on the program philippine president will begin to turn to take orders the country's top customs official to shoot dead drunk cyclists. and

way and wind is a frequent visit to the british isles and will be to norway and denmark during thursday but the big wandering thunderstorms now they are a rarity the trying to get into ukraine and remain yeah but i think they're very spouse at the moment if we jump says for the sunshine of measuring and most of north africa the certainly enough wind to pick up the dust in places but we all have we've been watching these these big masses of thunderstorms recently and i think the kenya fast so parts of chad will be the example where you'll see them but where the garden see atlantic for example in bangor then you've got 3 days of thunderstorms with very little wind driving them so flash flooding. in the global fight against financial crime banks rely on databases for customer checks and it requires you to show that you love i know who that person is and you

i'd like you to kill there anyway i'll back you up and you won't get jailed if it's drugs you shoot you arrangement china plans to double its stockpile of nuclear warheads in the next decade from the low 200 supporting to a report just released by the pentagon it says china's nuclear forces will significantly evolve as it modernizes diversified and increases its number of land sea and air based nuclear delivery platforms even with such increases china's nuclear force would be far smaller than batter the u.s. which has an estimated $3800.00 active who heads the trumpet administration has been urging china to join the u.s. and russia indigo sheeting a 3 way deal to limit strategic nuclear arms but china declined let's get more now from al-jazeera is heidi castro on capitol hill and heidi are these conclusions any real surprise. well this pentagon report

saying that china is likely looking to double its nuclear arsenal within the decade that's not a surprise we've heard that claim made by top pentagon officials in the past but this is the 1st time we're seen that in writing in this official report delivered to congress the pentagon says in this report that it believes china has some $200.00 nuclear warheads at his disposal right now half of which are capable of attacking the united states now even when double those numbers would kill in comparison to the nearly $4000.00 active nuclear warheads that the united states currently operates this report also says that china is looking to modernize its people's liberation army by the year 2049 making it what the pentagon calls a world class military and already china has surpassed the u.s. and now becoming the world's largest navy operating some $350.00 ships and

submarines now china according to the support is also trying to expand its foreign military bases with the short near term goal of replacing the united states as the dominant power in the asia pacific region we know heidi the trouble is trying to get a massive defense funding bill through congress what are the chances that this report will be used as justification. right and it is massive indeed some $700000000000.00 for the defense fund which is more than triple how much china spends on its annual military budget and right now there is a there are 2 versions of this bill pending in congress the version passed by republicans in the senate includes money for nuclear testing the marked difference in the version passed by democrats in the house of representatives is that it does not fund nuclear testing so certainly this pentagon report about china's nuclear

ambitions would would give republicans more leverage in their ongoing negotiations to reconcile the 2 versions of this defense bill. washington thank you now in moscow that 19 testing campaign is underway in hong kong but activists on some health workers a boycott that worried about the involvement of mainland chinese authorities who want to get hold of that data so called reports from hong kong. hong kong's chief executive was one of the 1st to take the crown of r.'s test alongside members of the government's executive council on day one of the city's universal screening programme most of the community testing centers were fully booked as the city battles a 3rd wave of covert 19 infections carry lances mass testing is a crucial step to identify the silent carriers who are spreading the disease think this testing program is safe quick and convenient to flush you know perth

of africa in the 1890s they call this kind of a d.j. they forced thousands of black people to move they thought thailand into land which is hard to cultivate and the wife settlers were given tracts of land by the end government to that later liberation war and 980 this country then became zimbabwe with a black majority rule but still most of the good land was still in the hands of white minority farmers so that then led to the land reform program after the war between forced to give black people land so all of this playing out and going on all the time of the government if you think these people remember in 2013 the bobbins participated in a regular random and that referendum people asked should the rights of property be respected should rule of law be respected why pharmacy compensated and majority of people at that time voted yes and that clause is not in the current constitution this is to pull recess a beginner who was trained in the hollywood film hotel rwanda saving the lives of
