a 100 percent there more than not so it's back like me like to me but she is. terrified. it's now fashionable to say that america is racist that is the law america is not a racist country. down the river from the obama. people at the. party broke up that it's almost like this election is shaping up to be church work school versus writing and looting and battle is a i'm the only thing standing between the american dream and total anarchy madness and chaos. also coming up her name is
2:04 am
taken off sky she campaigned to become the next president of the roost but she says president lukashenko and a rigged election stood in her way. people have changed and i don't know what's going on to happen and then there is days. i know what's happened in the nearest future. people. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with an african american man and america's relationship with the police both paralyzed today the father of 29 year old jacob blake said he doesn't know if his son will ever walk again blake is reportedly paralyzed from the waist down and remains in intensive care at a hospital in the u.s. state of wisconsin on sunday police responded to a domestic disturbance call it was then that an officer shot blake in the back at
2:05 am
close range as blake opened the door of an s.u.v. his 3 sons were inside a video of the shooting was circulated quickly on social media since sunday there have been protests in violent clashes with police and all too familiar series of events in america being repeated over and over again. it began as the mournful cry for help of a community suffering under the weight of injustice. i designed a group suited to attention some protesters in the police police fired tear gas in response. shots rang out on the 2nd night of protests in wisconsin college were torched buildings by and the family of jacob blake who shooting brought them all here treated for peace. we appreciate
2:06 am
their support but from his mother and from our from is my brother his father would courage of people to protest. peacefully not to be destructive we want justice and we want proper justice this is why witnesses say his nephew was trying to defuse a neighborhood dispute when police shot him in the back 7 times as his children watched. while. 29 year old jacob blake has sustained life changing injuries his community is also hearting we are scared and they're. like me but kids we are terrified you don't know you have no idea you have no idea. how they're out that they left the house. systemically says when police accountability are at the
2:07 am
forefront of the black life mottos movement despite that reporter stephanie simon says many of the officers in wisconsin where we ring new id are insignia. any idea new state trooper. county police city police federal police. and other as the curfew the wrong crowd of protesters who run the courthouse they know but their message and their movement doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon you. are going to go now to our correspondent stefan simons he is in commercial was gone some good afternoon to use stefan we understand that more of the national guard is being called in to wisconsin to control the protests what's the situation like there right now. that's it right there will be more national guard coming into town here because yesterday the national guard troops who work but which were employed here didn't do really much of
2:08 am
a difference here and so did not local police and what i thought and think is federal law enforcement troops the curfew yesterday was not enforced whatsoever so that explains to some degree the looting the torching all for the buildings and cars galore last night what happens right now right here this in the background you see all this media here this is local media this is national media this is international media and those cameras are all pointed in the one direction this is the legal team there behind. you can't see it really what this is the legal team of mr jake up lake and with the 1st press conference of sorts today saying that mr blake indeed will as it looks like not be able to walk again will be paralyzed down from the hip or from the waist. doctors as we heard earlier today said that they are not really sure of this is a permanent condition or not and of course the family hopes that it is not and mr blake probably will hope so too and everybody else but at the moment he can only
2:09 am
things are fairly calm police is hardly ever seen a national 2 guards are sparsely here deployed around the building here to my left and that it's on my right and that is the courthouse building here where those clashes happened yesterday and the night before and so for today let's see what happens tonight it's always a different game as soon as darkness falls of the town here you know that's true but the sun goes down. police say that they were responding to a domestic disturbance call on sunday when this began do we have any further information about about that and about why police shot blake i mean in the video that we've all seen it looks like it was an unprovoked shooting. yeah absolutely right the video and of course that's also the position of the defense team in the back is speaks for itself no questions asked. in their mind and
2:10 am
their position is that this was unprovoked and of course entirely a disproportional use 047 shots in the back office of a black person who has a black man who has a on a t. shirt and trunk so hard to understand however the district attorney here wants and asked the public to actually let's they we copped the law enforcement agencies here and the investigative bodies some slack give them 30 days to really get their head or at around they had surrounded what happened investigate this early and then their findings will be made public however 30 days is a long time we have seen this 3 months ago on the day after george floyd was murdered by a police officer in minneapolis people here do not want to give this time for an investigation they are frustrated they are angry they are hurt hurt hurt hurt that after 3 months something like this happens here after 3 months after george floyd
2:11 am
can osha happens they of course didn't expect this to happen to their town no town in america expects this kind of thing to happen but it does happen and that is the problem for most people here. our correspondent just defines iman's in conventional wisconsin with the latest on yet another police and african american tragedy in the us stefan thank you. as calls for police reform in the u.s. continue some are asking what can be done to prevent police and the public from walking horns to begin with consider when police pull over a driver in the u.s. it is standard for police officers to ask the driver of a car for their wives and registration what happens next can be a matter of life and death but it doesn't have to be that way take a look at this this is the not reaching pal it's a plastic sleeve that holds
2:12 am
a driver's license insurance and registration card clipped onto the driver's side air vent it was created by mother turned activist jackie carter she says to keep black drivers safe as they provide the documents that the police ask of them or police one to be able to speak with the not reaching paunch inventor jackie carter she is a former court reporter she founded the alliance for safe traffic stuff she joins us tonight from alexandria virginia ms carter it's good to have you on the day you know you're a mother with a son and i understand your son served as an army medic in afghanistan and yet i've read that you're more worried about your son getting pulled over by a police officer in the u.s. absolutely and 1st of all thank you for having me on your shell unfortunately under the circumstances yes i am i am more worried with my son in the united states
2:13 am
on any given day or night traveling in a vehicle and being pulled over because we've seen that just trap traveling and driving on our road and that's in the united states could end up being after a little traffic stop. i understand when you were putting together the idea for the not reaching pow you spoke with many police officers and the issue of drivers reaching for these documents you say you kept coming up tell me a little bit about that sure when you know the fatal traffic stop a philanderer castille occurred on july 6th of 2016 that's what really ignited my spark for trying to create a solution knowing that it wouldn't be the solution but something so the 1st thing i did was contact law enforcement my local law enforcement in pennsylvania and i
2:14 am
started asking the simple question what is it that happens during a traffic stop that makes you nervous or escalates the stop and every officer say the reaching of the movement so it just makes sense to create something that would eliminate the reaching in a movement that makes them nervous during a traffic stop and that's where we came up with not reaching not even realizing that 2 years later i found out that the last words phalange ok still said on this earth was i wasn't reaching i wasn't reaching we were thinking about this story earlier today and asking ourselves what's the situation in other countries because police pull people you know on the streets in every country but it seems like in the united states these police stops they can become deadly very quickly is it because america has
2:15 am
a love affair with guns or is it because of america's racial reality. i think it's both i think we have not moved or progressed as far as we like to think in the united states when it comes to race relations and social justice and the fact that you know guns are so prevalent and the training is really a major issue when it comes to the police learning how to deescalate is a key issue in all of these situations. is who shot and killed philander had just had incident a few weeks prior it wasn't to that extent but we have to rethink the way that an officer approaches a vehicle and what occurs during the approach of their vehicle and i'd like to think that we should start to talk about proactive compliance i think there will be the 2 buzz words that we should start to talk about because we have to find ways to
2:16 am
be called compliant prior to and not after so that we don't continue to have situations where we're coming back saying what should we have done you know. brings me to the next question i want to ask you just get your thoughts on what we're seeing in wisconsin in the shooting of jacob blake. well we're seeing once again and what we still don't know what led up to the shooting which still is not an excuse because there is no excuse for putting 7 bullets and 7 bullets with the same amount that philander casteel had in his body when he was murdered there's no no excuse for that but with proactive compliance we also now have to teach not only the motorists but also the police officers how to maintain a deescalated situation so with what's going on with jacob blake it's anytime any tell us a i think i heard
2:17 am
a little bit where they say that you know they never expected that to happen in wisconsin that will happen anywhere and everywhere until we start making making proactive compliance. the thing that needs to occur doing a traffic stop jackie carter the inventor of the not reaching powell is going we appreciate your time and your insights and your efforts thank you very much i appreciate it thank you well still to come on the day you catch code 19 once recover in then you're in the clear right where doctors now say that really infections are a reality. the 2nd week of march see how the 1st infection the 2nd case was exactly 3 months later with exactly the same symptoms. bellerose is exiled opposition leader. says a peaceful revolution is underway as huge anti-government protests continue over
2:18 am
that disputed presidential election in the country 16 days ago the demonstrations pose the biggest challenge yet to president alexander lukashenko has 26 years in power denouncing the protesters as rats the president has been defiant appearing on television in body armor and carrying a coalition to cause a violent crackdown it will have consequences the european union is preparing to impose sanctions and has condemned the government for detaining some 7000 protesters in just the past 2 weeks. the european union is also refusing to recognize the results of that presidential vote and that stance is being praised by exiled opposition leader so. she fled bella ruse for lithuania after the election correspondent constantine he met with her in buildings said lot of the kind of scale. what do you think is going to happen in the coming days weeks in belarus and
2:19 am
we've seen massive demonstrations especially in ms but not only as well we've seen alexander lukashenko being filmed by his press with a machine gun so he's showing that he's not going to leave. was going to happen i afraid it's going to be real violence. i have seen this in their own owned a continent coming because it's awful but. you know our people have changed and i don't know what's going on to happen in there as days but i know what's real happen in the nearest future. people will not step away they walk up and they want you. there rose and. the person who has separate east and stalker some people will not forgive
2:20 am
him people not for that anything about a situation that has happened after their actions at the same time the coronation council of the bill russian opposition as well as you you say that in the next coming hopefully free and fair elections anyone can take part so does that mean mr luker shanker to. it's only up to him we are 3 country so are i mean any person would be able to participate in this elections. do you expect the european union are you satisfied 1st or are you satisfied with the support that the european union and germany including have given to to the bill russian people and to you for sure we feel great support from or all the countries and they discovered many countries. contacted me and showed their support or our people are there in spite of our people and i am sure
2:21 am
they. do their best to agonize support to our people. what do you think the e.u. international community could do more to help bail russian people. you know it's up to every country and i had to say that we are. we appreciate have they can show by the it's up to the contest thank you very much thank you. that was the bill of rights in opposition leader that lana scalia speaking with the w.'s constantine. well millions of people around the world have had the coronavirus and recovered we also know that millions more probably had the virus and not even known it but those exposure to cover $1000.00 does it make us immune there's now mounting evidence
2:22 am
that being infected with the coronavirus does not prevent a reinfection in hong kong a 33 year old man contracted the virus in april and recovered when he returned from a trip to spain in august he tested positive again doctors say it's the 1st documented case of reinfection who bought that although some people i ask if they'll be immune to the virus forever after they recover there wasn't a clear answer before but now it's very clear after your 1st infection they'll always be a chance you'll get infected again or your pains can come in with signs today reported see more cases of patients in the netherlands in belgium catching code 19 a 2nd time but the world health organization is urging calm here saying re infections are not likely to happen too often even caught the important thing to know if the numbers are very very small so this is right and documented case. of
2:23 am
a $23000000.00 and i have probably documented cases but it seems to be not a regular event we would have saved many more cases of my next guest tonight is a familiar face to our viewers is a trusted voice in all questions concerning the corona virus pandemic dr john campbell joins me tonight from carlisle england dr campbell it's good to see you again. how worried should we be about reinfection i mean i was thinking today we catch the common cold 3 virus many times in our lives. we do but the common cold virus changes very quickly and there's various forms of it and there's a rapid mutation rate in that particular form of virus now what these studies have done is that only quickly prove that someone can have corona virus infection with coverage 90 and get it to 2nd time and we have conclusive proof that this has happened 3 times out of 23 to 24000000 cases so i really think we have to keep this
2:24 am
in perspective now this isn't really i'm said this isn't really surprising without anecdotal cases of people being reinfected before all but the difference is these 1st 3 cases that we have the one in hong kong as you say the one in the netherlands and the one in belgium these have been officially confirmed by phylogenetic analysis the scientists have looked at the genetics of the virus and have known that the virus the person was infected the 1st time is a different genetic strain to the virus that been infected with the 2nd time so we know that this happens but we have to bear in mind that we also know that corona virus does in juice and the muni and logic are reaction we know it induces surface acting antibodies we know it in juices in most people the immunoglobulin antibodies in the blood of the house most importantly of all we also know that in juices a t. cell response which is much more likely to be long lived so i think it's very much
2:25 am
a time to keep this in perspective we are talking about 3 cases now i do expect that to be more documented cases but we have to bury my we've had a high index of suspicion of this besom time now we've been looking out for this and a lot of people have been tested and retested and yet these are only the 1st 3 definitive cases that have been confirmed by the microbiologists and viola just so darn campbell what does this reinfection what does it mean if anything for the efficacy of a vaccine. well if people were to be reinfected regularly then that means they would not have a sustained immunological response so they could catch the virus the immune system would basically forget how to recognise that virus and then they would recount shit and of course all of vaccine does is imitate the natural infection so if people were to get re infected because the immunity faded then people could be vaccinated and then within a few months all who knows how long 34 months or 6 months or so then they could be
2:26 am
reinfected again if the immune response was not long lived but at the moment i think the evidence suggesting that the immune response is long lived is much more than these individual cases because we don't know the full details of these cases yet the hong kong case for example is all rather strange it's only circulating on social media at the moment it's not peer reviewed paper as yet i expect it to be but it's just strange that it hasn't even been formally released in preprinted yet the world's press is talking about this begin to stun this because the implications are very significant and that immunity was to fade the not means herd immunity wouldn't be able to be generated as well and we could be stuck with this virus reinfecting people for a long long time but i think the balance of evidence at the moment is saying that they will be immunity and we're ready seeing some of the epidemiological benefits of herd immunity in some parts of the world such as new york where a level of herd immunity combined with the control measures the hand-washing the
2:27 am
distancing the mask wearing are combining to reduce the amount of infections that we're seeing started them i've got about 30 seconds let me ask you the vaccine for corona virus be like the flu vaccine the flu shot that we have to get it every year about 30 seconds. yeah i suspect not because there's many different sorts of flu viruses but there's only one sort of corona virus and corona virus convict 19 so i strongly suspect that is not the case i remain optimistic about the vaccine i had always optimistic dr john campbell it's always been speaking with you dr campbell thank you thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online join us on twitter you can follow me a current golf t.v. was always happy to hear from you and remember whatever happens between now and it tomorrow it's another day we'll see you in a. coat
