this is bbc news. my name's mike embley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president trump flies to kenosha — to praise the police and condemn the damage to property. violent mobs demolished or damaged at least 25 businesses, burn down public loadings and through rex. these are not acts of peaceful protest but, really, domestic terror. but his opponents say he's just stoking unrest and the family of jacob blake, whose shooting by police triggered the protests, have this message for the president. we don't have any words for him. alli we don't have any words for him. all i ask is that he keep his disrespect and language far away from our family. his disrespect and language far away from ourfamily. we need a

president to unite our country and take us in a different direction. we'll have the latest from the small city in wisconsin which has become the frontline of the battle for the white house. also ahead: we have a special report on the huge challenge faced by lebanon as it struggles to rebuild after last month's devastating port explosion. thousands of british tourists are trying to buy flights home as portugal could join the uk quarantine list again by the weekend. the small city of kenosha in wisconsin has become the front line in the battle for the white house and on tuesday, donald trump himself paid a visit. he went to stress the need for law and order after days of violent protest. but the family ofjacob blake, the black man whose shooting at the hands of police triggered the unrest,

said he was disrespectful, and called for a president who could unite america. aleem maqbool reports. officials here feared a visit by donald trump would reignite tensions. and as he rolled into town, people took to the streets again. and arguments flared up between black lives matter protesters and trump supporters. i was asked the other day by somebody saying, do you think it's good that trump is coming? isaid, yeah. they're like, well, don't you think it's going to cause dissent? i go, have you seen our city?! when he arrived, the president did view some of the damage caused during the protests, and met law enforcement agencies. he called the demonstrations anti—police and anti—american. violent mobs demolished or damaged at least 25 businesses, burned down public buildings and threw bricks at police officers. which police officers won't stand for. and they didn't stand for it. these are not acts of peaceful protest, but really domestic terror.

my administration coordinated with the state and local authorities to very, very swiftly deploy the national guard and federal law enforcement to kenosha and stopped the violence. this did all start with the shooting seven times by an officer ofjacob blake. but his family said they didn't want to see the president. all i ask is that he keep his disrespect, his foul language, far away from our family. we need a president that's going to unite our country and take us on a different direction. in any case, donald trump's focus has been law and order, looting and burning, not racial injustice. it is just a deflection, you know. it'sjust like, oh, look at this property damage. well look at the fact that this cop shot this man. i think what has happened over the last week has just shown how deep the racism that exists in this country is and how it

shows up in any town from chicago to kenosha. in part, she is referencing the way in which the president has defended this 17—year—old who shot dead two protesters, while condemning people like her who took to the streets. four more years! what has undoubtedly been exposed by the events here has been the stark polarisation of american society. we did see brief moments of coming together between trump supporters and detractors, but right now this feels like a rarity. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in kenosha, wisconsin. let's speak to our north america correspondent peter bowes. what is it? nine weeks until the election and the divisions right across the country are very evident even in this small city. yes. nine weeks to the day to polling day and the

views of people in that small city are extremely polarised as indeed they are across the country and many people in kenosh simply do not buy the message that president trump came with. he said he was going there because kenosh would have otherwise burnt to the ground. there is no evidence for that. he says it would have happened had it not been for the actions of the national guard but, again, it was the governor of the state of wisconsin who made decision to bring in the national guard, president trump taking a lot of credit for that. the political debate is extremely complex. it has been intensified by the presence of the president in this city and equally it must be said that many people welcomed him with open arms, they believe the actions he was administration along with the national guard and local authorities did do a lot to quell the violence over the last week. when there is so

much concern about police violence and racial injustice, it does seem off tone to go there to support the police. he also expressed concern about property damage. but many people who will or might vote for the trump see this largely as an issue of law and order. yes. many people do see it as an issue of law and order and clearly that is one of the main planks now have the president's election campaign. many of his critics say he is trying to frighten people in other cities that this could happen in their backyard as well. and it is very clear that he did not come anywhere near to addressing those concerns have people, of lack lives matters campaigners and democrats who say that one of the key issues clearly is police brutality and racism across america. the president did talk about the police and acknowledged that there were some bad apples amongst police

officers but also getting into the detail he said that sometimes police officers have to make a very quick split second decision and acknowledged that sometimes that decision goes the wrong way. there have been more demonstrations on the streets of the lebanese capital beirut with protestors calling for an end to what they see as corruption and cronyism. protestors broke down gates sealing off one of the roads around the parliament before police responded with tear gas and baton charges. several people were detained. lebanon is effectively bankrupt and seems unable to deal with the effects of last month's huge explosion in beirut‘s port. from beirut, our international correspondent orla guerin sent this report. in the mountains north of beirut, locals are building a new monument. in the shadow of the cross, they will honour firefighters from the christian village of qartaba, killed at beirut port. three were members of an extended family who worked

together, and died together. as lebanon marks its centenary, rita hatti faces her darkest hour. she lost her son—in—law, her nephew, and her eldest son, najib. it took 13 days to find their remains at the port, after tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded. the deadly cargo had

languished here for six years. standing here now what is striking is the enormity of the destruction. it is on an epic scale. vast metal structures crushed like paper, buildings shredded. when the blast happened, the port was pulverised. four weeks on there is a lebanese investigation under way and around a dozen arrests have been made. but many here fear the truth will stay buried beneath the rubble. they say the history of lebanon is littered with cover—ups. the country has been crumbling for decades under the weight of corruption and sectarian divisions, set in stone since the end of lebanon's civil war. some hope this latest catastrophe can be a turning point, like riyad al asad, a construction boss, clearing the rubble of the blast for free.

this was not an explosion, this was an implosion. and this is what i see, the justice that finally, with all the destruction around me, all this despair, all this death, i see hope. i see a new country. and i see a new dream materialise, my dreams materialising. but christina francis has lost her dream. the luxury flat where she and her lebanese fiance were supposed to live. for her, the blast is the last straw. you know, you feel like you are suffocated, especially with this government and the economic crisis that we are going through. the governmental crisis that we are going through. the only way out of the suffocation is to leave lebanon. u nfortu nately. others are determined to stay and rebuild from the ruins one more time. they believe lebanon will rise. orla guerin, bbc news, beirut.

the french satirical magazine charlie hebdo says it is republishing cartoons of the prophet mohammed to mark the start of this week's trial of people suspected of being part of the deadly attack on its offices in 2015. 12 people died in the raid. the gunmen were shot dead, but 11! people are accused of being accomplices. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: england striker marcus rashford says he has a new goal off the pitch — ending child poverty in the uk. she received the nobel peace prize for her work with the poor and the dying in india's slums. the head of the catholic church said mother teresa was a wonderful example of how to help people in need. we have to identify the bodies, then arrange the coffins and take them back home. parents are waiting and wives are waiting.

kenosha, the scene of violent unrest after a black man, jacob blake, was shot by police. he accused violent mobs of behaving like domestic terrorists. jacob blake's family insisted they did not want to meet mrtrump. they said they wanted a president who could unite america and take it in a different direction. let's stay with that story now. samara klar is an associate professor at the university of arizona school of government and public policy. she's in tucson. good to talk to you. thank you for your time. what do you make of proceedings today? this is a polarising issue in a country thatis polarising issue in a country that is already very polarised against two very different candidates. so what we have seen is republicans largely supporting donald trump and his measures to try to quell the protests a nd measures to try to quell the protests and democrats expressing even stronger opposition in supporting their candidate, joe biden. the republicans have been pretty

smart, haven't they, in focusing the issue on law and order, rather than the pandemic in the state of the economy? that is right. donald trump is trying to come the protests and trying to come the protests and trying to come the protests and trying to assure people that he can maintain law and order. meanwhilejoe can maintain law and order. meanwhile joe biden is can maintain law and order. meanwhilejoe biden is a sort of needle to thread here in terms of coming protests while also assuring his base that he supports the black lives matter movement. this is tricky for joe biden. we have been hearing from people who are not fans of donald trump, in kenosha, saying thatjoe biden should have been here long before. saying thatjoe biden should have been here long beforelj think have been here long before.” think thatjoe biden has you know, he has to limit his travel, given the pandemic, and decide what is best for him. i think right now he probably thinks the best strategy is to let donald trump lead the way here as the supporters ofjoe biden seem to reallyjust be driven further towards the democratic party with everything that donald trump

does. i also spoke to democratic strategy lists who are nervous. “— democratic strategy lists who are nervous. —— strategist. in 2016 hillary clinton was ten points ahead. i thinkjoe biden is now about four points ahead. there is a lot to lose here. surely for the democrats this would be people whojust surely for the democrats this would be people who just stay home. absolutely. and wisconsin isa home. absolutely. and wisconsin is a battleground state for the 2020 election. both parties willaim 2020 election. both parties will aim for high turnout so they can rely on that state in november. do you have a sense of having to play out in nine' time? did you a quizzing polarised responses. republicans are showing strong support for their candidate. there is fierce opposition to how donald trump is dealing with the situation. it looks as though donald trump's response is not persuading people to support or oppose him. americans are pretty well decided and how they feel about

these two well—known candidates. the question is whether it will affect enthusiasm for candidates in the long run. samara klar, thank you very much. thank you for having me. a uk government source has confirmed that ministers are considering whether to re—impose a quarantine on people arriving from portugal less than two weeks after the restrictions were lifted. a leading figure in the travel industry has warned of chaos if portugal's status changes again. we understand that a decision will be made later this week. 0ur transport correspondent, tom burridge, reports from heathrow airport. getting away this summer without having to quarantine when back home has been a question of luck. when portugal came off the quarantine list, bookings went up. but only two weeks later, people on holiday there now might well have to self—isolate at the end of the trip. jodi started her holiday in the algarve at the weekend, but she's already booked flights home early on friday.

i need the children to get back to school. my husband's also self—employed so we couldn't go into quarantine. ididn't want the kids having two more weeks of school. they have had enough time off. i was looking at easyjet and there was nothing going back into london on friday, so we're going to travel back to east midlands and get back from there. and those who rent out holiday villas in the algarve have been left in an impossible position. we need more planning from government, they need a change in strategy, really, so we can reassure guests who want to travel to the algarve that are going to be safe. and people can actually plan forward. because at the moment, they can't. the uk government's benchmark for bringing the quarantine in is 20 cases for every 100,000 people. 0nly central portugal, shown here in yellow, has recorded less than that in the past two weeks.

the situation's worse in spain, where large parts of the country, shown here in dark red, are seeing more than 120 cases per 100,000. so—called travel corridors have been scrapped between the uk and spain, and france, where the infection rate is rising. the travel quarantine which now applies to people arriving from many popular destinations has really suppressed foreign travel this summer. for the airports, the airlines, and the travel agents, it's made a bad situation much worse. the uk's biggest package holiday provider told me a regional approach is needed. the fact that the portuguese rate may be one level, is that consistent? is that consistent in, say, the algarve, where the majority of tourists may be? in the uk, we have a slightly different policy in the fact we don't lock down the whole uk when the leicester rate goes up, for example. can we apply the same

kind of principle? but tonight, news that greece is going back on the scottish government quarantine list and the welsh government plans to test everyone arriving from there after passengers on a flight into cardiff tested positive for covid last week. tom burridge, bbc news. tui says it will stop offering holidays to the resort of lagunas on zante, a popular destination for large groups of young people. the company said its primary concern was the health and safety of customers and staff, and recent cases had shown that some people weren't observing covid restrictions. 0ther resorts on the island so far not affected. new restrictions are being imposed in scotland, after a rise in coronavirus cases. more than a million people living in glasgow, west dunbartonshire and east renfrewshire are being ordered to avoid indoor meetings with people from other households.

to mauritius, now. the oil spill caused by a japanese ship running aground has had further tragic consequences. on tuesday, three sailors died when their tugboat capsized. they were helping with the clean—up. four other men were rescued, although one other sailor is still missing. rebecca bailey reports. just a warning — you might find some images in it distressing. the mauritian coastguard setting off on a grim task: body retrieval. eight sailors set out to help clean up the oil spill that for weeks now has been poisoning a marine wildlife sanctuary. not all of the metred back. the sailors we re the metred back. the sailors were towing an unmanned barge from the spill site when the two boats collided. the tug boat capsized and the crew abandon ship. those who were rescued are now recovering in hospital. but for their crewmates the only way back to shore was in a body bag. everybody is asking what was the urgency in order to pull the urgency in order to pull the barge at that point in time

and in spite of the bad weather? and that is why people are feeling desperate about the situation. we could have avoided any casualties. this tragic accident isjust avoided any casualties. this tragic accident is just the latest reproduction of the grounding of the mv wakashio on the 25july. the japanese ship is linked about 1000 tons of oil onto the pristine coral reef instructor. concern over the fact that this will have on the fact that this will have on the marine environment were heightened after 39 dead dolphins were washed up on the shore last week. experts who examined two of the body said that they could not find traces of hydrocarbons in that corpses, but environmental campaigners have demanded an independent investigation. an anger is rising. many mauritian ‘s lead the government could have done more to prevent his bill. this protest on saturday was the biggest the country has seenin was the biggest the country has seen in recent years. some of their t—shirts read i love my country and i am ashamed of my

government. the government has promised to set up a commission to investigate this bill. the captain of the ship has been arrested and charged with endangering safe navigation. he has not yet commented. the search for the missing sailor continues, as does the cleanup. but this latest incident will only add to the shock and fury as mauritians continue to demand answers as to how this could have happened. rebecca bailey, bbc news. the manchester united footballer marcus rashford has joined forces with some of the country's biggest food brands to create a taskforce in a bid to reduce child food poverty. today, the government said it would consider their proposals to tackle hunger in children. rashford successfully campaigned to extend free school meals this summer and he's now written to members of parliament outlining the help he feels some families still need. 0ur correspondent sally nugent has been speaking to him. go on, get it. oh! full

footballer marcus rashford this isa footballer marcus rashford this is a deeply personal project.” am single parent. yes. it helped so much with getting food for himself. it is no problem. no problem. just to see the smiles on their faces and to see how much it has helped them made me, you know, happy to see that. actually with my own eyes. there is a stigma because they look at it as well, who goes to the food bank, who goes to these places? they look down on it, but with you speaking about it, see you have been through it, that has given ourfamily have been through it, that has given our family confidence, you know, he has been through it and it is a situation that we can pass. marcus has spent the summer thinking about what he wants to do next. we pretty much knew that we have found a short—term sort of solution but that was not going to work in the long run. so we have to

think about the best way to do it so that these families can eat long—term and not have any issues. hello everyone. can you will hear me? some of the biggest brands in the country are on this call. most have now signed up to rashford's task force. they are supporting these proposals from the national food strategy. expanding free school meals to every child from a household on universal credit or similar benefits. providing holiday food and activity for all children on free school meals. increasing healthy start food vouchers from £3 ten to £4 25 per week. henry dimbleby is leading the review and spoke at the start of the call. it is important because the alternative to a school lunch is packed lunch. and only 1% of packed lunches have the nutritional value of a school meal and if you look at packed lunches as children get less

affluent, those have increasingly low nutritional value. they were giving me figures that sent me a bit, like, wild. now the footballer has written to the prime minister, thanking him for the u—turn over free school meals in the summer holidays back in june. ina in the summer holidays back in june. in a very personal letter, drawing on his own experiences as a child, he outlined the extra help you feel some families still need now more than ever. sally nugent, bbc news, manchester. just a brief reminder of the menus. relatives and friends of jacob break who died in wisconsin have criticised a visit by donald trump. jacob blake. president praised police officers' actions in the face officers' actions in the face of what he called domestic terror. they have been damaging properties and businesses in kenosha. there is more on the

bbc website and feeds as well. thank you for watching. hello there. the first day of september was dry for most of us, but the second day of the month looks a good deal wetter. we will see some outbreaks of pretty heavy rain moving eastward through the day and with that, it will be fairly windy. now, if we look at the recent satellite picture, we can see this area of cloud heading in our direction. this is a frontal system which is going to bring some outbreaks of rain. it's all tied in with an area of low pressure drifting to the north—west the british isles. you can see quite a few white lines, quite a few isobars squashing together on the chart, that it will be fairly windy, and we will see a break of rain pushing from the west toward the east. now, the rain will be moving quite erratically eastwards. it will be quite sporadic, quite on and off in nature, some of it will be pretty heavy, particularly across some parts of southwest scotland —

where there is the risk of some localised flooding. brisk winds, particularly up towards the far northwest from those of the average speeds, we could see gusts of 45—50 mph for very exposed spots in northwest scotland. it will be a little bit warmer than it has been lately, 15—20 degrees. and it looks as if the rain won't get into east anglia or the southeast of england until quite late on in the day. but we will see some splashes of rain here as we go through wednesday night and into thursday. the outbreaks of rain increasingly becoming confined to england and wales. some clear skies developing, still 1—2 showers for northern ireland and scotland, and it will be milder than some nights we've had recently. so we head into thursday, and our frontal system will still be in place. this front is going to take a little while, i think, to clear away from england and wales. so, we are going to see a lot of cloud here. it could be quite a murky start in places, and there will be some outbreaks of rain moving quite slowly southeastwards. at the further north and west you are, there will be sunnier skies, some showers, some of which will be heavy. another windy day, and another

slightly warmer one then we've had lately, 17—21 degrees. now, by friday, it looks as if our weather front will still be lingering across southern england in south wales. so further pulses of rain here — but for north wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, it's a day of sunny spells and heavy showers, and those temperatures start to come down once again — things turning cooler as we head towards the weekend. for the weekend itself, there will be some showers at time, a fair amount of dry weather, but some rather cool days and some fairly chilly nights.

this is bbc news. the headlines:
