however i think his message was one that was at least an attempt to to try to encourage people to behave peacefully and to enter get on with their lives the main news from new york from the rochester. area where daniel proof was killed in march is that there's now going to be a grand jury impaneled this will look into the shootings or rather excuse me the. the circumstances under which mr pruett died the attorney general of new york state james said that the proof family and the rochester community have been through a great pain and anguish and she promised an exhaustive investigation both the governor of new york andrew cuomo and the local organization of police in rochester

say they support of the grand jury action grand jury. investigations can lead to indictments which can lead to prosecutions the officers involved in the. incident in march are all have all been suspended for the moment now there were other nigga other investor excuse me there were other demonstrations today one in louisville kentucky could have been a real powder keg but it turned out to be defused without violence it came when matters were protesters were confronted with a group of people who said he described as of this patriots and police many of them carrying weapons some of the black lives matter protesters also armed there was shouting and and arguing between the 2 groups but eventually the

so-called patriots dispersed and there were no violent incidents or any. reports of arrests there also protests and demonstrations underway in oregon just see more than $100.00 consecutive nights of protests since the death of george fluid at the hands of minneapolis police and late may in portland there were vigils today and there are other. gatherings of protesters around the local police headquarters and the federal courthouse in the center of the city. thank you. well elizabeth anchors a professor at george washington university she says the protest movement has already had a huge impact on american society the struggles have been going on for decades the struggles themselves aren't new i think what we are seeing here is the way in which

these protests actually have managed it changed quite a few things in a short period of time on the one hand bringing in more people than ever before her support they have changed the language that americans use we now hear calls for defunding the police coming from you know dinner tables every night where that with not the case just a few months ago and we've seen changes in a lot of different localities where most of the policies about the use of the police and regulations for police are many so we have seen changes in specific locations what we haven't seen are some of the larger national changes that people are calling for and in part that's because donald trump's presidency has staked itself on the claim that it is a law and order presidency by which trump generally means kind of unrestrained use of the police which is where a lot of the roach from protesters are now coming into the picture. now health officials in the u.s. are worried about a possible new jim corona virus infections during the labor day holiday weekend

they fear gatherings and crowded bars could make the weekend a critical point in the fight against the virus the u.s. has already recorded at least 6200000 cases and more than 188000 deaths. there are more worrying signs that mexico's death toll from corona virus could be much higher it's already the 4th worst in the world at more than $67000.00 but its health ministry says there's been more than a $120000.00 of what it calls excess deaths during the months it's been dealing with the pandemic it's not clear how many of those can be linked to cope with 19 another indication of how struggling to cope with the sheer numbers is that several regions have run out of death certificates or 37000000 new forms of being printed and distributed and the medics taking care of the influx of patients suffering as well rights groups say more health workers have died from the virus in mexico than any other country because of a lack of personal protective equipment benito's men out as

a professor at the national university of mexico he says the government is adults with scientists are testing in the country. there was a big brawl in mexico and big fight with. him between this youngest and the year and then i was with the president and they were meant and you know we're talking about the code 19 and then me. many people are talking about the warming slightly in the kite very a number of deaths though and it probably is the organization is not doing this. only in mexico we have 1000000 of tests in my decorum and nice lives down one percent of the population in mexico and many people keep in common they were and know you don't know what is the real cause of the of the debt and when they go to the zoo to the hospital or they seek a doctor to see the they don't report that this is

a big problem new mexico percent don't believe in the for example in the mask the coupon shoulder he's figuring in the deliberation with mask this is another big problem because if people don't believe that the. then use he says there's been flooding in senegal after sudden heavy rainfall the country's water minister said around 3 month's worth of rain fell in just 12 hours houses and shops were inundated after the sudden downpour many people are still recovering from severe flooding last year which killed several and destroyed thousands of homes. sudan's government has declared a 3 month state of emergency because of weeks of floods of killed more than 100 people the river nile has risen to levels not seen in a century 100000 homes have been badly damaged and others completely destroyed since late july the u.n. warns the situation will get worse as above average rainfall is forecast until the end of september. power operated equipment is out of order and there's

a high possibility they won't operate again needless to say residents are all gripped with fear and panic we have not slept for days there were flies mosquitoes are multiplying in huge numbers cholera may break out at any moment god forbid that's why we've planned an insecticide spring campaign. even morgan has this update from khartoum. the river that you see behind me is the nile river which is sudanese government officials say is unprecedented in terms of the level of waters it is carrying right now at 17.61 meters meteorologists say it's the highest that have been recorded in nearly a century and that has resulted in massive flooding in various parts of the country now one of those areas is right here in this island of tutti which lies between the blue nile and the white nile the flooding from the nile waters has resulted in massive destructions of properties many people have been forced to leave their homes to look for refuge and shelter and for drier lands.

most of the destruction isn't just because the river flooded we have an annual phenomenon where the water in the river increases during the rainy season the river manages to break the makeshift dams that we build this will cause the most destruction but this year is the worst we've ever seen now countrywide at least one 100000 properties have been destroyed and at least 100 people have been killed as a result of the floodings meteorologist say that the reasons behind the high level of the nile river is our duty to facts as they say one of them is climate change heavy rainfalls and if you can highlands has resulted in more water flowing downstream to. it's sudan which has resulted in more flooding along the banks of the blue nile which contributes to 80 percent of the nile waters the other factor they say is the number of dams that have been built along the nile over the past few decades they say that has led him to more want to being trapped in the clouds and into more rainfall as a result so sudan's government has declared a state of emergency after the loss of lives and the destruction of properties

there calling 180 in his nation's to intervene but they're also saying that the water levels will continue to rise over the next few days and are urging people to stay away from the banks of the nile and try to build as much sand barriers like they've been doing over the past few days to cope with the rise of the nile levels they also said that if people do not listen to the cautious and to to alert that are being issued by the government there will be more destructions and more loss of life something that they are trying to avoid. to come here and al-jazeera including it's dangerous for every student to come to school and to study and i think this is more important. nothing is the same a schools course me reopen in afghanistan after 5 months. unchanging pace fans gather to hear the 1st new sound to be played in years as part of the world's longest music performance more than statements of.
