beethoven 2020 the 250th anniversary year. this is date of the news live from the widening crackdown fueling fury in the us a city of portland president trump says the deployment of federal forces that began in portland will be increased to include other cities where he says that needed to restore horn order critics say the most politically motivated will create even. also a program he stumbles highest to figure out if you should be open as

a mosque for friday prayers after more than 80 years as a museum. i'm so gail welcome to the program raster growing in the united states following president trump's announcement that he'll send federal troops into several democrat controlled cities he says they're needed to deal with a surge in violent crime but the trump deployment of federal forces already operating in portland oregon has been targeting protesters demanding racial justice but the man himself caught up in the crossfire. it states it's hard to bring the mayor of portland cast by federal offices in the middle of these own city. was in a group of protesters outside

a federal courthouse he said he saw nothing which provoked this response. the irony is in protest is. angered that the democratic man had backed his own city police using tear gas until a federal judge ordered it should only be used when there was a safety issue. for the 55th night in a row protesters flooded the streets of portland and a new chant was being sung. said school a clear message to the federal agents deployed by the trumpet ministration to crackdown on demonstrators. the local governor a democrat didn't mince her words this is a democracy not a dictatorship we cannot have secret police abducting people into and putting them in unmarked vehicles. i cannot believe i have to say that to

the president of the united states i know that oregonians are outraged americans should be appalled but the controversy hasn't stopped president trump announcing that more federal agents will be sent to other u.s. cities today i'm announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into american communities plagued by violent crime will work every single day to restore public safety protect our nation's children and bring violent perpetrators to justice federal offices will be sent to albuquerque and chicago both democrats run cities critics say the deployment is political an attempt to make democrats weak on crime and to burnish trump's image as the nor and order president ahead of the november election the mayor of chicago says she welcomes a partnership with federal agents but warns against using the same tactics as in

portland i've been very clear not happening in chicago we don't need federal troops we don't need. need unnamed secret federal agents roaming around the streets of chicago that's not democracy that we saw unfolding in the streets of portland as a result of this federal action that's what we call tyranny in dictatorship and we're not having it in chicago residents of chicago say extra police won't solve the issues facing the city they say action on gun control would be more effective in tackling violent crime. straight to chicago that would join. in as paul welcome to bring us up to date have federal officers arrived there yet feel i just talked to police and they actually don't know i talked to the chicago police officers they do not know so many on the ground so to say are not informed i

also am whether they would feel they had as a support or not they are not very eager to talk to us and not very happy to talk to the journalists but when i mention that we are from an international broadcast to the north of the american media they kind of opened up a little bit and i had the feeling that they're not really looking forward for the feds to come into it chicago and what is the problem there in chicago that the president has only be solved by sending in federal troops. yeah right so we just heard the meyer lite mayor let life would right so it chicago is one of the murder capitals there's a lot of gang shooting every week and specially in the summer months. up to 10 sometimes 20 people got shot just just today 9 people got killed one gang bang. members actually in front of a funeral home and also a little kid was just around and god happen to happen to got shot so it's really while and it's really gun violence is

a huge huge problem since many here in chicago and see here and in this election year troops are only being sent to cities controlled by democrats. right that seems to be a tactic of president trump who is really losing support the polls are down he's like double digits behind. the behind joe biden the front man of the democrats so it seems that she kind of the needs a new battlefield where he can prove that he is the strong man so some people say he is sending in troops into the cities which are led by democratic mayors into states which are ruled by the democrats. to kind of show listen people i take care of your problems me the republican president is taking care of your problems with which you have been left alone by your democratic leaders and briefly

. how is this playing with american voters. well we shall see it's kind of a new tactic he signed the executive order just by the end of last month so i mean we have seen the pictures of portland at least the portland instill and like kids here in chicago my sense is people are also not very happy that feds are being sent in here so but maybe by the end of the day it will be the pictures of riots in the streets which might help donald trump. in this poll in chicago thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in israel where protesters have been keeping up the pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu what they say as his government's mishandling of the coronavirus crisis israel has just recorded more than 2000 new cases in.

answer but it was incriminating but there were also exonerating moments the moment the convicted men were between 18 and 30 at the time one is german the of those refugees playbooks mayor said the city remain. open and tolerant. often the crimes are not committed by nationalities but by individuals but it shouldn't be to do to talk about it and we do have to ask ourselves whether we need to make adjustments with integration and getting enough to see. the judgement is not yet final and the primary defendant is likely to appeal his sentence. istanbul's highest the fear will host friday prayers this week the mosques 1st such service since the building was converted into a museum more than 80 years ago originally a cathedral it has stood at the heart of istanbul for 1500 years its recent conversion back to a mosque triggered an outcry you don't usually harm reports. yes

of the the highest the fear is istanbul's landmark. it symbolizes the byzantine the ottoman as well as the turkish period. the architecture is so marvelous that the old byzantines believed that the dome was held by god himself the beauty of their cover that little mark but it also marked over to this. young a score to show knows everything about the whole yes a few for 20 years he's been guiding tourists to the world heritage site and when he talks about it he is still amazed every time. but right now everything is different 1st in museums closed due to the coronavirus and then the museum was suddenly no longer a museum. because president bridge of time bad one turned the heaviest of fear back into a mosque. as a christian citizen of this country it saddens me but i'm trying to stay calm as the mosque the highest of fear will still be open for visitors they can even enter

free of charge in the future but the rules will probably change that we give you short notice is give a shit load of all which. visitors will now only be permitted outside prayer times was a x. and i can see the testify that the i.a.s. of fear was the most important church of christianity for centuries will be covered with curtains during worship. and the best and biggest decision ever made for turkey. it's great news for the entire muslim world as we've been longing for this for more than 80 years. i am here we can see these days and thanks to our president for this decision. many people here are happy that they had us a few years now in moscow again but there's also a lot of criticism the european union has called the decision regrettable the u.s.

the byzantines who built the heaviest yet in the 6th century for them it's part of their identity. but younis is reluctant to voice criticism he says his community has experienced many setbacks and yet they've always managed to move on. and that nationalists of course now celebrate the highest afia decision as a victory in the future because because we're a very small community they don't hear us. in a country with more than 80000000 people it's not easy to make a few 1000 voices heard which means. chick's. nearly 4000000 people visited the idea sophia last year. and janice cortez show low hopes that he can continue to show this monument to his many tourists as possible because for him regardless of its status it remains the most beautiful landmark he
