this is d.w. news live from the land line and trump says her husband has done everything he can to protect americans during the pandemic the u.s. 1st lady gives the keynote speech at the 2nd night of the republican national convention aiming to reveal a more caring side to president trump also coming up a 3rd night of unrest in the u.s. following the police shooting of 29 year old jacob blake hundreds of protesters defying a curfew after blake's family say his injuries mean he may never walk again.

and one of the world's best soccer players and his club parting ways off are they the almighty tells f.c. barcelona he wants to leave the catalan side but legal wrangling over a clause in his contract may make the split impossible. we begin with a developing story in the u.s. where police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters in a 3rd night of unrest following the police shooting of 29 year old jacob blake hundreds of protesters defied a dawn to dusk curfew in commercial wisconsin on tuesday night and were met by a wall of law enforcement officers in riot gear the disturbances came hours after the wisconsin governor declared a state of emergency and vowed to deploy additional national guard troops to

restore order in the city earlier in the day blake's attorney said that the shots police officers fired into blake's back as he attempted to get into his s.u.v. have left him paralyzed. melania trump has assured americans affected by the coronavirus that they are in good hands with her husband as president the 1st lady was speaking on the 2nd day of the republican party's national convention at the white house millennium cast her husband as an uncompromising leader who was the best hope for america's future she said he was working hard to tackle the pandemic which she called an invisible enemy. here's some of what she had to say. my deepest sympathy goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one and my prayers. are south.

i know many people. and sound feel helpless. i want you to know you're not alone. my husband's administration will not stop fighting until there is that in fact the 3 to 4 vaccine available to everyone let's bring in michelle stockman michelle was a speech a success for millennia drop. from need of a comeback story tonight and i would say she got one you may remember her 2016 convention speech was considered a complete disaster because she basically lifted portions of former 1st lady michelle obama's speech from the 2008 convention democratic convention so tonight this was the 1st time within this republican convention that i really heard an appeal and a recognition of the grieving that many americans are going through because of the

pandemic because of the recession she really connected i believe emotionally and i think she did humanize her husband in a way saying that he cares that he's working hard that he will as she said fight the invisible enemy of covert 19 and you're not alone we will not stop fighting so again this was her story showing that she is part of the story of america the land of the upper upper tuning which is the theme of the republican convention tonight. looking at the 2nd night of the convention is this doing the right thing or hitting the right notes that will get donald trump reelected it's really interesting tonight because i'm seeing the republican party for train itself as a big tent party one where people can find a. place maybe. it's interesting it seems not to be trying to appeal to donald trump's base but to people who might be a little controversial with his brash style or the way he's gone on twitter and.

made some kind of dog whistle racist remarks. it's trying to say you have a place here this is a land of opportunity and though i may be unconventional i'm fighting for you we've seen a lot of unconventional things tonight we've seen secretary of state my pump aoe give a speech from to risk that's completely out of the ordinary we've seen a naturalization ceremony we've seen a presidential pardon things you wouldn't normally see in a convention but this is donald trump style he's doing what he wants to do and some people love him for it and some people can't stomach that but he's showing voters who he wants to be ok michele stockman thank you. well now return to our top story the unrest and the u.s. in wisconsin and stephens on loans joins us from to notion stephanie a 3rd night of protests in wisconsin and what's going on at the moment.

i think 1st of all apologies for our line dropping and so you had to change the program a little bit but i said part of the picture and what you see is actually nothing just a few police cars but let me fill you in just about 15 minutes ago all hell grew close right here behind me as we all heard here a lot of press and some protesters heard gunshots fired down the street to once the left down that way and police rushed law enforcement forces rushed down there after being called upon by protesters to come to the rescue or some sorts at least that's what we heard and what we saw police cars rushing down there so this night here where the curfew actually was and. forced by law enforcement. officers might have taken a more tragic turn than. anybody expected however compared to last night the 2nd

night where we saw looting and torching buildings and setting cars ablaze nothing of this happened today. as i said the curfew was in force the by law enforcement officers pushing down protesters the main street out of this area here and then circling back to what i said in the beginning we heard shots fired not necessarily from police shots fired this is unfortunately here and now we're seeing where a lot a lot of civilians carrying all kinds of guns. 40 seven's a r 15 m. 16 s we have seen all kind of semi automatic. rifles in the hands of people who walk around with this demonstrating their power by carrying guns which is legal here in this state to carry guns if you have a license and those people assuming they have a license anyway this makes it fairly dangerous now here in. wisconsin tonight.

is near me the capital of nice the cities across roads for people desperate to make their way to europe no matter how dangerous the journey many come to the bus station at night to meet with the traffickers they gather here. so they receive also. your deal is will i know there are networks of smugglers and people traffickers of the past nations who will help them continue that journey question is it up to what. they're under growing pressure because of the forced repacked relations so it is shield for. so it's become more dangerous yes it's riskier and more expensive now is full of shit. we can't openly film here the police in mission have launched a crackdown on my constant traffic has and tensions are on the rise we need to frighten young nigerian woman who also hopes to reach europe. got problems at the

police dept it might not. how much you have to pay for that but is it is it with you that it is out. to get that. it is that. she seems quite worried that they're all afraid. that the money's been stolen yet everything it was the police they also took my cell phone if wallet at that it's even more dangerous north of me i'm a. this young man already tried once to make his way to europe and almost died on the way there with the sea org they kill you for no reason look at this video general you're going to do a lot. of it he shows us a video he took a month ago when traffic is abandoned him in the middle of the desert. very busy airports all suddenly they say get lost that's the path you're on your own after

they gave the 2 of us one liter of water one bottle is. the place they have to reach europe is more than 3300 kilometers away to reach sicily they have to cross the desert and the mediterranean it is sincere of began trying to stem the flow of migrants this is become the most dangerous and. diddley's rich. nation is one of the world's least developed countries population growth is soaring and poverty is rife despite the country's abundant natural resources many young migrants asylum seekers hoping to reach italy passthrough need for that adding to the strain to intercept a regular migrants before they reach libya in 2016 european union convinced the share to monitor its borders more rigorously in exchange the e.u.

provides funding and expertise. do you count so many share one of the poorest countries in the world to stem the flow of refugees we recently hear a pin ambassador in the army. to cross the path with you know the european union's main concerns are to reduce the number of deaths in a void humanitarian tragedy is and dispel the myth of europe. the year in the regular flow of migrants sars definitely been reduced in asia has mobilized its security forces in the north arrested traffickers and confiscated vehicles the increased checks on the border with libya are bearing fruit pocket if we. are about 750 kilometers northeast of me a mayor is the 2nd major hub for african migrants initiate the city has played

a key role in the e.u. strategy to deter migration. caustically because people he set out from here on the long journey through the desert put themselves in great danger in a hate filled it is a small. city in the heart of the side hell region has long been. citied west africa's gateway to the sahara. it's also home to you catch the civilian capacity building mission initiate with pressure from the e.u. some he's a gurney ship passed a law against human trafficking but the crackdown has not brought business to an end. where these are water canisters for sale books every my provisos when they try to read. the whole truth that the way as to live well so is it takes 3 days and these are sticks they're used to hold onto the floor of the truck and keep that out still there's a lot of people with very little sense that works says it has to. work

because the and these protect against the dust yeah it was one of. the coverage of it this must have been a busy place where you don't like. not anymore to hardly have that. machine am i used to work as a people smuggler illegally until 2016 he helped hundreds of migrants pass along this route into d.p.'s every week. this is where the desert begins. agadez the smugglers have now been displaced by new unscrupulous traffickers from abroad they easily slip past the checkpoints that have been set up in the city. but 1st now interview asks how many ways there are to get people out about it is countless ways we're told because of the risk the smuggler has given up his business but he knows what's going on. until it is that the

traffickers in the desert are criminals real criminals that's even true here and i get their stuff that is open so they go to the transportation companies and intercept the arriving migrants dick event they say they want to go to libya come with me i have excellent contacts in a violent book which. way so cozy there and then they just drop them off in the middle of the desert 3 or 4 up onto me but my grants are being tricked by a brother they shouldn't have trusted but the connection when dr nick when is. the shop because who are still in business hide their clients from the police and shelters on the outskirts of the city of a contact helps his gain access. to them. this is the this area is called the ghetto migrants hide here waiting to leave libya but after what i did.

we find dirty rooms without electricity or running water each one accommodating dozens of migrants the previous night 60 made their way towards libya this 12 year old boy from sierra leone was left behind he didn't have enough money for these shoes. for the last finish. cord. could be a. struggle for eat. or be. fertile. i'm from the ivory coast i'm 17 i lost both my parents there during the 2010 crisis and i had no want to help me so i left. once we were supposed to buy a notebook for school and the teacher said something that really struck me long

break in my book school isn't for poor people. who've. if i knew he was right school isn't made for us but i couldn't afford school supplies i said that with money i could have continued my studies i told myself what good does a diploma do me if i can't find work i should leave i would rather suffer somewhere else than in my home countries with freedom of property would you want to go to germany do you think you'll be treated well there. just get laid off they respect human rights it'll be fine but many of us have skills but can't do anything at home where killed it was because we have no money by the way or uproar secret that there are a lot of hidden talents here. so let's hope that what are yours. so if i don't cook

usually football and make music with the music i listen why that is what i want on the way here we face difficult situations that we were wrong. that we were arriving at a checkpoint but that's on a demand money from you be about. what will free if you don't pay they search you go and take everything they find out whether. it's from a family i've been here for 7 months or so for 7 months this has been my life now and sends me mileage and i'm stuck but i trust in god how do you get food when my friends buy food they give me some they don't have. if they don't have anything i don't eat david you're trapped here why don't you go higher. but i prefer it here better than living free at home good luck with that i my heart can find peace there it's good you know what is waiting for you in libya and it's see it through

and there. are 3 good hard times i know but nothing ventured nothing gained basically an idea well put you might be detained or tortured or drown the noise. fitted low salary that's life that human life is dangerous. you have to take risks that if that's god's will. you last year. the methods employed by the illegal traffic is growing ever more crucial but it turns out to be fairly easy to make contact with a trafficker who operates here he's waging force in another part of the city property and wealth rubbed shoulders in that it is. behind these walls the traffic is waiting to meet this despite the bank he continues to bring migrants across the border. not one not

one while we have our contacts i'm a well known smuggler so you know i have my network. when the police head west we go east south or north. or not with g.p.s. you can vary your routes there are thousands of ways now thousands thousands this is because of the 2015 law people die in the desert my colleagues abandon them in the desert if they run into the police or a military patrol i think it isn't. so if you live. there and disappear. it's terrible. but why if they catch you go to prison. for 2015 laws to blame for all of those deaths. how many people do you do with. that kind of doubt about 80 to 150

a week pretty prices have gone up we used to ask for 180 euros but now it costs up to 150 euro summit. it is this is good yes it is i make over 3000 euros sometimes 4500 a week just got through. not bad. just that's true my family's doing well. in the past when migration happened in the normal way everyone here was content people bought goats slaughtered them and ate. lives. but now you can forget all that. this is. to help traffickers leave the business the european union office the financial assistance equivalent to about 2300 euros. that's less than they spent in a week. shimon

rights activist rashid colo is concerned about the impact that the e.u. policy is to having on his city and on the safety of migrants. and you know what something the government wants us to believe has stopped migration didn't let him still be us but that's not the reality instead what has emerged is a new and even more criminal structure that controls it and what about the aid we're constantly promised where is it only promised 2300 heroes to people who give up human trafficking for good. and media sings out when when i have a people used to earning 1100 a month. to some walk or to propose him it's just a one off payment what. is the danger to day is that illegal traffickers secretly take people with them. and send them straight to their deaths door a lot more it happens nearly every week but really every week should be but as

shocks young people from sub-saharan africa are simply left to their fight events in the middle of the desert. faced saw. the journey has become more dangerous and more expensive too without money many migrants become stranded in other it is and many resort to sex work. pca arrive here panelists they have nothing at all for us so they have to make money somehow. it's measure of that these women offer their services to less than 10 year rose hoping to eventually scrape together enough money to pay traffickers. these young migrants have bought was a canisters and food in preparation for their journey. in the ghetto with the traffic a has given them accommodation while they wait they cook what will be their only

meal of the day. gotta do. what i want is that it. was you would. want more of them. i would walk in the courtyard a few young women gather around another woman a few years old of the men are we soon realise what is happening the nigerian mafia has come to neighboring nation to recruit sex workers. all together yes sir and gerd says. the young women don't realize that the older woman is a paid recruiter she doesn't want to show her face and tells us her sister is waiting for the group in libya. what kind of job should she told you you were going to do. like myself that she is walking with us we want. to you know you spoke that is the danger for girl that iraqis are sometimes the worst if you press to treat yourself well we know i'll. let you know with

a small gesture there are crucial and the conversation. in. the transit camp run by the international organization for migration or i.o.m. helps tend to migrants who've been sent back from libya many a traumatized mentally and physically but despite the dangers of the journey many of the people here have attempted it several times. in and it is the i.o.m. offers them food and shelter if they're prepared to return home for boot. i know. this whiteboard lists the nationalities of everyone in the camp so take any for example 182. from there on the saw up and. right now there are 399 people here and all but you know i remember number thought it was

a couple inches enough to see how many have you helped in 2017 and we had 5000 people like i did which said 5000 men women and children who have survived a terrible journey the camps doctors try to help as best they can. see. they arrive here war now and with all kinds of illnesses sometimes they're totally the hydrated. when they're crossing the desert just they drink just a few swallows of water to ease their thirst that's not nearly enough why do they need 3 to 5 liters a day please do. you mean if they don't get that they might die within as little as 48 hours without water you'll survive 3 days at most we should view but it looks it looks. what happened here let me tell you through. the time we get the information so. you guys are supposed to take and should you go. to get to this because i get it so when i get here there's the to the putin i so should be doing this job one

for the economy to do what you people could do you see many injuries teaches b.s. . more effectively when you do. yes we get a lot of people with gunshot wounds you think the wounds get infected and we often have to amputate the leg. there because you sort of go see before these gunshot wounds come from bandits demand that migrants hand over everything they possess to do she do forms you don't see. if the migrants refuse you refuse to meet you they get shot at the force you see the buddy she brought out but i actually don't know sometimes i migrants suffer gunshot wounds when the army shoots at the valuables that they're in but much else i mean. the local traffic is so live it tends to be an one's. these men from cameroon oh they're risky to a clash between warring militias. so one of you know i want to go home this is

receiving terrible things migrants are beaten raped castrated because this happens to a lot of people. why do you need. us people die night. so often you mind it's hell on earth a woman arrived with her 15 year old daughter. they took away her daughter and so it's her choice of the mother wants to intervene and i'm going to show him so they locked her in a dark hole after that i never saw her again if i gave water to a man i couldn't understand him no he spoke english the next morning they killed him as if he were a cockroach that was the worst stuff they've decided. siller does it get out of the desert to the mediterranean the abuse. i tell my brothers don't try this absolutely not i didn't want to believe it and when i saw it for

myself i almost went crazy. that's why i tell any migrant thinking of doing this don't take this route itself as. the trip to sub in the middle of the libyan desert takes at least 3 days and then it takes weeks if not months to reach the capital tripoli this stage of the journey through libya is even more perilous. tripoli is one of the most dangerous cities in the world the area around the city is under control of the un backed government there are countless militias the country is a walk in weapons. thousands of migrants in the city live crowded together under richard conditions there are about 30 official detention centers under the nominal

control of authorities in addition there's a substantial number of apartments and factory buildings where criminals hold migrants under lock and key and demand ransom for them. this man is desperate if his girlfriend has been detained by traffic is in tripoli for 2 months he's finally been able to talk on the phone to her he tells me the traffickers want to sell her who get rid of. the i ask him how much ransom they demand he says that recently they demanded 450 euros and his girlfriend told him the same amount. she called him again just a day ago and told him that she and the other women are not being fit. he says he is desperate to get her out of there somehow. to squeeze as much money out as possible from the families the kidnappers tell the prisoners to call them. the man recorded his girlfriend's phone call.

a little. but oh well just as i live in a place i am at is unbearable if you are heading towards a silly but they live in coast guard quarter. since then i have been in this prison to get raped 10 at night arabs camel take women with them to be sold to brothels and. i don't want that to happen to me. because i'm a reason but. only a few international organizations still maintain an office in tripoli one is the un refugee agency or u.n.h.c.r. which is holding a press conference here the un agency are tries to obtain the release of his many migrants is possible but it has to focus its efforts on people who would be entitled to apply for asylum were allowed to visit the official centers for we've carried out about a 1000 visitors this year and they've always managed to get out refugees almost

1900 this year so please listen to this. yeah they're from god as art does. so they tie the women up to it is it that if they want to sleep with a woman they tie up her arms and legs and hang her from the right for the love or that art that russia will. see cerebrum that is horrible and painful to hear because what can be done to help her to feel it sounds like one of the unofficial detention centers in the official ones conditions complete band but not as terrible as the us if she's in the hands of traffickers now international aid organization can gain access to our experience. so that's heartbreaking yes it's a terrible situation and. it's impossible to locate the woman in tripoli but we are able to contact her by phone. and i don't have the number of the cell phone the

traffic is gave her said that she can beg her family for the money i need is played all the always looks for her in italy. for sure hello. hello. on the 2nd attempt we managed to talk to her her family has already paid money but the kidnappers want even more. yes it's money and the problem is when you fall into the hands they do everything they can to make money off you know people they can't get a ransom for they sell for 750 year rights that's what happened to several women hand that scares me. right now they're demanding to cripple and of around $400.00 euros for my release. i can't get my hands on that much money i've already begged my family if i don't pay they'll sell me for women with babies and pregnant women

they charge $1700.00 pounds for the other women 1200 euros. there's lots and many of the 600 us please i want out of here i can take it here on her part thank you. i know. in tripoli people are being bought and sold and what is being called a modern slave trade. these give me inside just been free for many be imprisoned by the un refugee agency under one condition they have to return home immediately they'll survive and that any out. of the box of office it's not easy we want to go home of the on station. a plane is being chartered for them

until that happens they have to wait in the hangar at the airport. this allows the early on you know we all wanted to go to europe and see if we would do better there but we didn't make it in libya they're killing us all so we'd rather time had this little bit on the bed because you totally i'm a ca to doesn't my by. he has broken but i was terribly cold all night get busy every day i am glad to go back to my yes as glad as i would have been to make it to europe it was so terrible why did i ever leave so much blood from up above the shocking as it it i was shot in the head that you shut you he's soft you see the soldiers from the libyan army and. here you have it if they keep going to get i was traveling with a boy and he does it they shot him in the foot and then abandoned us in the desert said the fees. my family was already in morning up and they thought i was dead but

i fell asleep and not hostile on the 7th day of ramadan and i didn't wake up again until the 24th day to month she decided to get home i called my mother and told her i'd been saved when i found she didn't believe me this it is if it was good my son died 3 weeks ago she said i said no it's really me and sent her a video so she could see me. if i wanted to go back home ever since because my family wants to see me and you see video of what don't you try to go back many times but i've been arrested and detained over and over again i want to please you just have to know about me i was in prison for 3 months i said then i got out but hardly a week later i was back in prison again but even now i still dream of europe after all this the 3 fifth's it difficult to take a shit yes even with all the difficulties i had to overcome if i can find a way to get to europe that's where i want to go that's my dream i guess i. feel i owe him and the u.n. refugee agency can only help

a fraction of those in need the others are held in captivity until the traffic is finally decided to get rid of them often the migrants a packed on a rubber boat $100.00 or $150.00 at a time the boats a barely seen would be the dis is how the migrants a supposed to cross the mediterranean it's the final stage of a journey and a terrible ordeal. every year several 1000 people drown in the mediterranean. in 2017 the libyan coast guard became an additional threat mission lifeline a german sea risk you charity recorded this footage during a mission the coast guard demanded they hand over the markings they had just rescued even issuing warning shots of the vessel. every night at the libyan coast guard sets out to intercept migrants who try to make the crossing but they have repeatedly been accused of colluding with the militias in traffickers but europe relies on the up. the coast guard receives funding and

technical support from the european union especially italy. libyan navy spokes person says the aim is to turn back migrants before they reach libya. we are not europe's police for the. government we see along a matter terrain and to signal to migrants they have no chance of reaching europe. and then they won't even come to libya to begin with. migrants who were turned back to land a sent to prison many end up song to traffickers migrants from the mediterranean take enormous risks to avoid being intercepted badly being coastguard. the crew aboard some of them on european aid organizations come to help shipwrecked people are rescue work becomes even more difficult when migrants see the foreign ships
