welcome to bbc news. my name's mike embley. our top stories: president trump flies to kenosha to praise the police and condemn the damage to property. violent mobs demolished or damaged at least 25 businesses, burnt down public buildings and threw bricks. these are not acts of peaceful protest, but, really, domestic terror. the family ofjacob blake, whose shooting by police triggered the latest protests, spoke to the bbc and gave an update on his condition. jacob is hanging in there, he goes through some really severe struggles and still managed to turn into a great success. we have a special report on the huge challenges faced by lebanon as it struggles

to rebuild after last month's port explosion. thousands of british tourists are trying to buy flights home as portugal could join the uk quarantine list again by the weekend. and back in class: all round the world, millions of children return to school despite the global pandemic. hello to you. 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 protest, some violent. but the family ofjacob blake, the black man whose shooting at the hands of police triggered the unrest, say he was disrespectful. they, and called for a president who could unite america. aleem maqbool reports. officials here feared

a visit by donald trump would reignite tensions. so now you want to put him in a headlock! 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?" i said, "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 your 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 in 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. would i love to shake your hand. 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. well, shortly after events wound up, i spoke with jacob's uncle, justin blake, blake family friend tanya mclean, and alvin owens, who runs a barbershop and was tear gassed when he was protesting. i started by asking tanya to explain how shocking this turn of events has been for the town of kenosha. we are just a small town, a peaceful people, getting on with day—to—day life. nothing major happens here.

there are some issues here in our town with division, but we have never seen anything like this. alvin, you know that mr trump today called the angry protest, the violence and the property damage in the city "domestic terror." you have a business there, your barbershop i think is fine but i know you must have seen other businesses, many of them black—owned being trashed. how did you feel about that? you must understand the anger, the frustration, but surely that must have been rough. what is rough is watching a video of a black man being gunned down shot seven times. what is rough is within one week we had a fire in uptown here in our city, and then four or five days later, we had looters from god knows where that we did not recognise

tear up our city and tore down the upper half of uptown. so that is rough. however, the president is 100% incorrect and told a lie when he called protesters peaceful protesters or nonviolent protesters "domestic terrorists." we all know in america who the terrorists are and what they are and what they do. the citizens and residents of kenosha are not that. your business, luckily is fine. are you sure that the people who lost their businesses feel the same way that you do? a few of those businesses came together, whose businesses who were burned down, and were feeding pizza and sandwiches and bringing bottled water to the nonviolent protesters to jacob blake's family just this past saturday. so that gives you an inkling

of how they felt. even though they are going through... even though their businesses have been burnt and torn down, they came out in support of jacob blake and help the community come together and heal. we are about healing in this city. what is the latest on his condition? how is he? he isa he is a soldier. he is hanging in there. he is the epitome of the black man, going through many struggles but still turning it into great success. how aware is jacob of what happened, and also, what has been going on in kenosha since? not very aware of. he knows something is going on. he can feel the love. there is help from different organisations. kenosha, chicago and beyond.

as everyone knows, his children were in the car at the time he was shot. how are they? they are doing as well as somebody could be. they went through a traumatic situation of watching a father get shot seven times in front of them. apologies for the connection there. there have been more demonstrations on the streets of the lebanese capital beirut with protesters calling for an end to what they see as corruption and cronyism. protesters 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. now, 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. staff at the french satirical magazine charlie hebdo are saying they will republish 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 14 people are accused of being accomplices. stay with us on bbc news. there is much more to come. still to come: what's in a name? controversy over the title of this german street, which will now be changed after campaigners said it was racist. 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. hostages appeared. some carried, some running, trying to escape the nightmare behind them. britain lost a princess today, described by all to whom she reached out as irreplaceable. an early morning car crash in a paris underpass ended a life with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. this is bbc news. the latest headlines:

president trump has visited kenosha, wisconsin, the scene of 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 mr trump, saying they wanted a president who could unite america and take it in a different direction. a uk government source has confirmed that ministers are considering whether to reimpose 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. a decision will be made later this week. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports from heathrow. 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 their 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 is 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 will travel back to east midlands now, 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 that we can reassure guests when want to travel to the algarve that they will 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. only central portugal, shown here in yellow, has recorded less than that in the past two weeks. the situation is 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 has 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 with, 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 principle? but tonight, news that greece is going back on the scottish government's 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 the greek island of 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. other resorts on the island are not affected. about 800,000 people in glasgow and surrounding areas are now living under increased coronavirus restrictions. the measures were imposed after 135 new cases were detected over

the past two days. the scottish government has also announced that anyone returning to the country from greece will need to quarantine for two weeks. the restrictions apply from thursday. australia is officially in recession for the first time in 30 years. the economy shrank by 7% in the april—to—june quarter as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic hit. the country last fell into recession in mid—1990. it was the only major economy to avoid that fate during the 2008—2009 financial crisis — thanks chiefly to demand from china for its natural resources, especially iron ore. the man known as comrade doik, one of the most notorious senior figures from the khmer rouge convicted of crimes against humanity in cambodia, has died. duch was the first senior khmer rouge leader convicted of crimes against humanity by a un—backed tribunal in 2010 and sentenced to life in 2012.

he ran the notorious tuol sleng prison where thousands of people were tortured and murdered in the late 1970s. as many as 2 million people are believed to have died under the khmer rouge, a maoist regime that controlled cambodia from 1975 to 1979. to mauritius now. and the oil spill caused by a japanese ship running aground has had further tragic consequences. on tuesday, three sailors died when their tugboat capsized as they were helping with the clean—up. four other men were rescued, although one other sailor is still missing. rebecca bailey has this report. 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 them made it back. the sailors were towing an unmanned barge from the spill site when the two boats collided. the tug boat capsized and the crew abandoned 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 barge at that point in time, at night, and in spite of the bad weather?" and that is why people are feeling desperate about the situation. we could have avoided the casualties. this tragic accident is just the latest repercussion of the grounding of the mv wakashio on july 25. the japanese ship is linked about 1,000 tons of oil onto the pristine coral reef. concern over 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 bodies said that they could not find traces of hydrocarbons in their corpses, but environmental campaigners have demanded an independent investigation. and anger is rising. many mauritians believe

the government could have done more to prevent the spill. this protest on saturday was the biggest the country has seen in recent years. some of their t—shirts read, "i love my country, i'm ashamed of my government." the government has promised to set up a commission to investigate the spill. the captain of the ship has been arrested and charged with endangering safe navigation. he's not yet commented. the search for the missing sailor continues, as does the clean—up. but this latest incident will only add to the shock and fury as mauritians continue to demand answers about how this could have been allowed to happen. rebecca bailey, bbc news. in many countries, the beginning of september is the start of a new school year. the pandemic has meant major changes, of course, to school procedures. all nurseries and schools in the chinese city of wuhan, where the pandemic began, have opened.

children having to wear face coverings when travelling to and from school. they also have to wash their hands and disinfect shoes. in hungary, pupils queue to get into schools, which are disinfected daily. class sizes are being reduced to help with social distancing. where schools have opened in cuba, hands are sanitised and face masks worn on the property by both students and teachers. students are seated a safe distance from each other. in vietnam, children have their temperature checked as they arrive and hands sanitised. where social distancing can't be observed, masks are worn. in russia, schools and colleges have reopened, just as the number of confirmed cases there is expected to pass1 million. staff have been tested, contact between different year groups is being kept to a minimum, and the traditional start—of—year celebrations have been cancelled. sarah rainsford has been to one school in moscow. september 1 is traditionally a daily of celebration right across russia as children go to school for the very first time.

and here in moscow, even in the midst of the covid—19 pandemic, authorities are trying to keep things as normal as possible. this is russian—style back—to—school — from the markings on the floor to all the other measures here, clearly all the proper precautions are in place. but, as i have seen over the past few months, while the rules and russia are strict, people are not that great at actually sticking to them. as the weather here does to get cold again and life goes back inside, this would become a problem. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. after a seven—year battle, authorities in berlin have agreed to change the controversial name of one of the city's streets. ‘mohrenstrasse' — or moor street — is considered outdated — named after a medieval term for people from north africa. campaigners say it will help decolonise the german capital, as the bbc‘s tim allman reports. one word, 12 letters,

decades of controversy. mohrenstrasse, or moor st, runs through berlin. it is symbolic of a time, according to some, that has long passed. translation: what we wanted to achieve was to dismantle discrimination in public spaces. we want it so that black people who are walking down the streets are not constantly confronted with not only the discriminating effect of this word but the history that is behind it. it's very important to create an area that is free of discrimination and colonialism. the street has always been an interesting place, where business deals were done, where lives were led — karl marx stayed here as a student in the early 19th century. there's also an underground train station which shares the same name. the signs will have to be

changed here, too, but some feel it's all a little unnecessary. translation: to try to construct this into something negative is just unscientific. there are no streets that i know of, at least in berlin, and i think not in the world, that you would them after someone you don't like. mohrenstrasse will soon be known as anton wilhelm amo strasse, named after a ghanaian philosopher and the first black african to study at a german university. tim allman, bbc news. a reminder of our top story. president trump has said he'll rebuild the troubled city of kenosha. he made a brief visit, in which he described several nights of violence there as domestic terror. mr trump ignored pleas from local leaders — mostly democrats —

to stay away, amid accusations that the trip was an election stu nt. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbc mike embley. 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'll see some outbreaks of pretty heavy rain moving eastwards 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 shows 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, but some of it will be pretty heavy, particularly across some parts of south—west scotland, where there is the risk of some localised flooding. brisk winds, particularly up towards the far north—west, those are the average speeds — we could see gusts of 45—50mph for very exposed spots in north—west 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 south—east 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 clearer skies developing, still with one to two 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're 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 south—eastwards.

but 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 than 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 times, a fair amount of dry weather, but some rather cool days and some fairly chilly nights.

this is bbc news — the headlines...

president trump has said he'll rebuild the troubled city of kenosha during a brief visit in which he described several nights of violence there as domestic terror. mr trump ignored pleas from local democrat leaders to stay away, amid accusations that the trip was an election stu nt. the president did not visit the family of an unarmed black man, jacob blake, who was shot and paralysed by a white police officer last month — the event which triggered the violence. mr blake's family say they need a president who will unite the country. all around the world, millions of children have been returning to class despite the coronavirus pandemic. there have been major changes to school procedures with social distancing and hand washing being enforced. older children will also have to wear face masks when they are in lessons. schools in england are preparing to welcome back
