if you want to help save the world. these are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror president visits can osha to see the damage by rioters and show his support for police despite appeals to stay away. and again i've listed by and this is al jazeera live from london also coming up. protests against lebanon's leaders as the french president visits again and gives politicians in 8 weeks to deliver on for us. schools of students detained as they

march in batteries demanding that president lukashenko resign. and as schools reopened around europe for the 1st time in months the u.k. government steps up efforts to get people back to the office. u.s. president donald trump has defied pleas to stay away from the city of konoha he traveled there to show his support for police and called violent protests in the city domestic terrorism well city leaders had feared his presence could cause more and rest after police shot an unarmed black man in the back 7 times jacob blake has been left paralyzed trump is accused commotions democrat leaders of being weak in the face of demonstrators prompting accusations his visit is more about election campaigning than bringing harm he's now off of the city and state of wisconsin more

than $42000000.00 in funding. we will provide $1000000.00 to the can osha law enforcement so that you have some extra money to go out and do what you have to do you took a rough it was a rough week to put it mildly and you've done it incredibly well i'm also providing nearly $4000000.00 to support these small businesses that i talk about today that got burned up burned. and we're going to be providing over $42000000.00 to support public safety statewide including direct support for law enforcement and funding for additional prosecutors to punish criminals and resources to provide services to victims of crime take a blakes uncle is called on the people of can i should be peaceful and support his family along with local leaders they've been holding a justice for jacob community celebration cheering trumps as it 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 down who asked you not to that 1st there to put up an anger where it's going to raise up high and unity and come or go with the blacks were going to make some big changes that affect all the little jakes over honest and well have been some clashes in can i shall there not as big as in previous days john hendren was there and also explains why this area is so important for the presidential campaign. well asking the president not to go somewhere is often a guarantee that he will go there especially if it's a democrat doing the asking what he wanted to do was to come here and to take credit for the law enforcement effort as you can see there are a number of police vehicles down there at the end of the road right there which tells you that he did leave a city divided what's happened is that a couple of trump supporters were here in a crowd of black live matter supporters and they came into conflict and the crowd

followed to trump supporters all the way down there and i'm guessing that is the conflict that 7 or 8 police cars and a national guard armored personnel carrier or 2 are taken care of behind me in case you're wondering what's going on there so the president came to praise law enforcement for their efforts he came to condemn the black lives matter movement saying it was a terrorist organization and he also going to take credit saying that he had helped talk this state in to calling in the national guard the fact is that the president can nationalize the federal guard but that's not what happened in this case the governor simply called them in on his own but as trump was here touring some of the damage and. visiting a police command center. the crowds here clashed a little bit there were some trunk fans in and of course there were the protesters who've been here for many days protesting against the shooting of jacob blake

a black man 7 times in the back and he remains nearby in a hospital paralyzed from the waist down voted for donald trump a majority of them in 2016 and then switched in 2018 and voted for a democratic mayor trump probably would not have won the 2016 election without the electoral votes of the state of wisconsin hillary clinton famously did not visit wisconsin because she thought she had it in your pocket she didn't trump one with the democrats don't want to make that. mistake again so joe biden has gotten involved he has been praising what the black lives matter movement has done in terms of the peaceful protests condemning the violence but president trump would not say the name of jacob all day today and he has simply praise law enforcement so you can see the battle lines being drawn here for the state of wisconsin a black cyclist has been fatally shot by los angeles county police in another

instance of police in the u.s. killing a black man a lawyer for dijon family says the 29 year old was shot more than 20 times in the back as 2 deputies tried to stop him for a bicycle code violation but the sheriff's department says he was shot fewer than 20 times after dropping a handgun and punching one of the officers. there have been more protests in lebanon's capital beirut this time coinciding with a visit by the french president emanuel mark role police fired tear gas to disperse protesters outside the parliament building in the center of the city there are widespread calls for total political change lebanon's government resigned after the devastating port explosion 4 weeks ago which many blamed on government mismanagement. or president michel has given lebanese politicians until the end of october to start the reform process otherwise he's threatening to withhold aid or

even impose sanctions if corruption can be proved or his speech came after his lebanese counterpart michel aoun on a french air force fly past displayed the colors of the lebanese flag to mark 100 years since the creation of the country also told a news conference that lebanon how do you agree to form a new technocrat government of non-politicians in the next few weeks to help take the nation forward say a honda has been following the latest developments from beirut. this is his 2nd visit in less than a month since that port explosion he came with the same message as the 1st time if you do not carry out reforms there will be no money to help revive the economy and kick start the economy that has been his message to the political leadership but this time around he's talking about timetables and he's talking about consequences he said that the lebanese leaders promised him that within 2 weeks

a government will be formed yesterday a new prime minister was appointed in almost record time because in this country too surely takes months before the different political factions agree on a prime minister and a government so now a government is expected to be formed in 2 months and within $6.00 to $8.00 weeks that by the end of october. he's speaking clearly on behalf of the international community to expect the lebanese leaders to start the process of reforms he talked about how reforms have been repeatedly perspire own been stifled over the over the decades and that this time they need to do this or else there will be consequences he said that he will inform the lebanese people that their leaders are refusing to carry out reforms and that's why the international community is not helping them but he went even further and said that ok sanctions are on the table yes sanctions cannot be imposed on officials simply because they don't carry out their duties but it can be opposed imposed on officials involved in corruption so there you have

really a veiled threat so the international community piling a lot of pressure on the political class which has been governing this country for decades responsible really for decades of corruption and mismanagement for running the economy into the ground telling them now there is a time table for them to act or else they will face repercussions thousands of students have marched through belarus is capital calling for president alexander lukashenko to resign following an election the opposition says was rigged schools were arrested at the un says it's received reports of hundreds of cases of torture based. mistreatment of protesters let us with reports from the capital of neighboring if you. have been barely older than a teenager makes no difference to belarus is masked security forces and what. wasn't but these students in the capital minsk stuck their ground peacefully ignoring warnings that their ali was illegal and to go home i was so with no

it that our little way near 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 about larger 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 event last summer but looks and now washington says it's considering sanctions on russia if as a senior u.s. official put it in moscow to intervene more overtly. bernard smith al-jazeera brazilian. russia has now reported more than $1000000.00 confirmed cases of the coronavirus the country has the 4th highest case total in the world after the united states brazil and india but the total number of deaths from the virus at more than $17000.00 is far lower than several other european nations. schools are

back to the way things were before. those supporting a return say rich companies have a moral duty to help revive the economy the people really taking the risks in this economy right now are by and large lower wage employees are prime who in this country depends for a ton of different services and what we don't see happening is the same courage and determination by and large amongst higher wage employers and employees and we need them to step up and to come back to the office as much as they can responsibly. despite government efforts multiple city firms expect only a fraction of staff to return to the near future and some large companies have decided to close offices altogether. the government suggested staggering start times and a mixture of office and home working but few expect these commuter trains to ever
