oh. this is c w news live from berlin a 3rd night of on breast flares in the town of kano shows wisconsin demonstrators have again defied a curfew to protest against the police shooting a top 29 year old black man to change the plank his family says that blake's injuries mean he may never walk again. also coming up she rarely speaks in public but last night the republicans deployed 1st lady malani a trump to drum up support for her husband at the republican national convention so how did she do. and in a t w news exclusive

a valid lucien opposition leader spent last night taken off sky explains why the protest movement poses the biggest challenge that the government has ever faced. and one of the world's best soccer players and his club are parting ways or are they a little messy tells f.c. barcelona he wants to leave the capital outside legal wrangling over the clause in his contract naismith and make the split impossible. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program police have fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters in a 3rd night of on rust following the police shooting of 29 year old jacob blake hundreds of protesters defied a dawn to dusk curfew in wisconsin on tuesday. night disturbances came hours after

the governor of wisconsin declared a state of emergency and vowed to deploy additional national guard troops to restore order to the city blake's attorney said that as shots police officers fired back have left him paralyzed let's get more now we're joined by stefan simons he's joining us from can no show us constant stuff and you've been on on the ground there it's been a 3rd night of protest in wisconsin what's going on. you know all day all night as you said to day piece. with not much law enforcement on the ground here visible and not many protests but that changed as soon as darkness fell upon kenosha a lot of law enforcement as you see now it's all boring and calm because protests are over however that was in the beginning of this evening like this about 23 hours ago protesters delivered a standoff with law enforcement personnel here at the courthouse in can osha and

this park behind me then law enforcement officers asked those behind me managed to drive protestors down the street and then something happened which a lot of people actually thought oh maybe possible and were afraid of that to happen what we heard were gunshots real gunshots not pepper bean bags or the tear gas poppers here from law enforcement and what transpired is that these that's what we heard from a few witnesses and i'm still saying let's rest on the side of caution here because i have nothing heard of officially there's no official confirmation except one reported remark from a police officer that there are many people shot we have talked to people who said that one person was shot in the head and. brought to the hospital immediately after an altercation broke out between. in protesters and libertarian militia type

people that was the words of the witness we talked to the people with the. a r 15 the long rifles and semiautomatic rifles took at them to themselves to shoot at the protesters to prevent them from breaking glasses of cos this is what we heard from people again caution here and nothing official yet this is probably coming in the morning here locally in can osha when we know more about that and as that rest on the streets that you're describing is taking place we have shaken blake's attorney saying that he's been paralyzed after being shot multiple times by police in the back how are people reacting to that statement. and i would say for the family as well as people who are close to the family and progress this year we've talked to took note of that news and overall there are

understandably happy that jacob blake survived being shot 7 times into spec but of course everybody is not taken the news very lightly or too well that he will probably or very very likely end up not walking anymore for the rest of his life. there is a substantial amount of anger frustration and hurt here in this community of course not just with the family but in this community. people think and feel that not too much progress has been made in the last 3 months since george floyd in minneapolis was murdered by a police officer. they still think that much more work has to be done and i think that can osha is an example for that exactly that much more work has to be done and structural racism has to be racism has to be dispelled from for example law enforcement stephon simons with a view from conventional wisconsin this evening thank you. and elsewhere in the

united states the u.s. 1st lady malani a trump has addressed the republican party's national convention on day 2 of the gathering and she began became excuse me the 1st speaker to directly mention the pandemic that has killed nearly 200000 americans yet she talked of the pain suffered by many families and tries to counter the widespread criticism of her husband's response to the pandemic by saying that he was working hard to tackle the disease 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. who are who are suffering. i know many people are anxious and sound feel helpless i want you to know you're not alone. my husband's administration will not stop fighting until there

is an effective treatment or vaccine available to everyone and with more on day 2 of the republican national convention we are bringing in michelle stockman from d.w. news michelle welcome to the program how was this message received you know needed a comeback story her speech from the last convention in 2016 was a complete disaster because she was accused of plagiarism there were many passages lifted verbatim from a speech that michelle obama gave in 2008 so in the speech we got one of the rare mentions of the coded $1000.00 pandemic crisis in america and it was an expression of sympathy and care for people who might be going through some really hard times right now in terms of their health or losing their jobs so supporters would look at this speech and say look at the successful immigrant 1st lady although there is some controversy about her views when she 1st came but she expressed herself well she came across as competent she made

a strong case for donald trump to be reelected but there are critics who look at the speech and say this is just window dressing window dressing on the top administration's failures and dressing the code in 1000 pandemic and also she mentions the nation should come together and heal from episodes of racial injustice that also might sound tone deaf from the wife of a man who has been known to tweet out race this tweets and stoke racial tensions in america right now tell us a little bit more about some of the other messages as well because we have the u.s. secretary of state by on. peo also speaking yesterday a speech that was widely condemned as an it was for breaking long term norms and traditions this is the 1st time in around 75 years that a sitting secretary of state has spoken at a national political convention also he did it from jerusalem a controversial city and seen as props a prop used for his office being used politically and the house foreign relations

committee has in fact open an investigation to see if the speech was potentially an ethical and illegal there is a law called the hatch act that prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while they're in office so there's that when you look at the speech itself it wasn't that controversial is some of the greatest hits that he's put out about the term foreign policy tough on china he lauded the moving of the embassy to jerusalem and also the normalization of ties between the united arab emirates and israel so. you know he is it was controversial but. it's kind of just what the administration is doing it right now breaking norms when we sift through all of the messages that we have heard so far tell us i mean is this striking the right note with his base is it striking the right note with potentially undecided voters of america overall how do you think people are digesting this i think it was

a night's targeted toward those undecided voters when you watched the entire convention last night or you know and to say it was basically trying to show a big tent party a party where black americans are welcomed where americans are welcome where immigrants are welcome where women are welcome and there were moments that showed. people coming together and overcoming criminal justice wrongs there was a naturalization ceremony stuns people might say but to an undecided voter who might be turned off by terms brash style. and some of the ways that he's stoked anger in america they may look at these moments and say yeah this is the kind or softer party that i want to be a part of it's still too early to tell though joe biden is leading by quite a bit and several swing states the trump flips the last election so we're really still thinking of the campaign season we'll have to wait and see but a very interesting time between now and november indeed michele stockman thank you

. let's take a closer look at some other stories making news around the world. the u.n. security council has blocked a bid by washington to reimpose sanctions on iran in a video conference the council's president said that there was a lack of consensus in the un's highest body over u.s. strategy on iran 13 of the 15 council members to the u.n. presidency to reject the bits livy. 2 prominent hong kong opposition lawmakers are among the more than a dozen people arrested in connection with last year's mass anti-government protests lam choked and ted were detained after early morning raids on their homes the arrests are being viewed as part of a widening crackdown on opposition figures and on kong. and the kremlin spokes person is disputing claims that alexina was poisoned to saying this is absolutely cannot be true this comes after german doctors said that they have found evidence

of russian opposition leader was poisoned the ball only was brought to berlin sherry tate hospital on saturday after falling ill in siberia. 7 foreign minister heiko moss has warned that the conflict between turkey and greece in the mediterranean has become very dangerous and he has urged both sides to find a peaceful solution to the dispute mass shuttled between athens and tuesday as he mediated between the neighbors they're locked in conflict over gas reserves buried beneath the seabed. a greek fighter jet touches down on the island of cyprus athens launched 3 days of military exercises in the eastern mediterranean after turkey extended a mission to search for oil and gas reserves in waters came by greece now and chris conducting its own naval exercises in the region. chairman foreign minister.

warned that the 2 countries are playing with fire here both sides to find a solution through dialogue but if we have warships holding naval drills and conducting exercises with the life ammunition then we find ourselves in a phase where a mere accident could lead to a military escalation as collects war. masses engaged in a delicate diplomatic balancing act to see tries to bring both sides to the table. as we speak turkey continues to act illegally to escalate to provoke despite the urging of its neighbors partners and allies 3 inches from. the turkish research vessel or a tries to searching for oil and gas reserves in waters off cyprus and current checks greece has claimed this has exclusive drilling rights in the region but it says it's open to sharing newly discovered gas reserves and will sit down to talks with no strings attached. nobody should lay down preconditions there can be

no preconditions set by greece. but then says demanded turkey immediately stop its gas exploration in contested washers germany's top diplomats will brief his e.u. colleagues on thursday on his bit to get the regional rivals to the negotiating table. and for more let's bring in our istanbul correspondent dorian jones story and why are these gas reserves so important to turkey. well the vital for turkey turkey imports 99 percent of its natural gas and spends around $40000000000.00 a year on energy imports so this gas is seen as crucial to alleviating this chronic balance of payments problem which continues to undermine the country's lira which hit record lows again this month and on top of that given the fact that turkey imports from countries like russia and iran it is seen as a vital to energy security as well. dorian greece's territorial claims

they are backed by the rest of the e.u. i mean what kind of negotiating power does ankara really have. well boy by the fact that the e.u. have made threats of sweeping sanctions against turkey in the past and even though greece is calling for again tough measures against turkey and believed to be backed by france as well believes it has a very strong position it knows it's a vital strategic partner to europe is the gate keeper for migrants seeking to enter the e.u. countries and possibly can play a similar role in libya given its military presence there on top of it does have allies in the e.u. countries like poland hungary and it's also courting malta and italy as well and it knows that any sanctions the unanimity in the e.u. and even if such opposition was marginalized on kronos or any sweeping sanctions against turkey that would cause a potential economic crisis in the country with hit europe as well many european

banks have invested heavily in turkey and turkey is a key trading partner with many e.u. members including germany so how far is turkey then therefore willing to go i mean could we see them use the military to assert their claims. well on curry's clear it says it will not fire the 1st shot in any tensions but has warned if any of it ships are attacked it will retaliate with force that pres warning was underlined by president earlier this week but i think the real concern here is not of both sides looking for confrontation it's seen as part of their postures for building up robust diplomacy negotiating a bit stronger negotiating positions what the fear here is of an accident given the fact they have all these warships in a very confined space backed by far the rhetoric on both sides that they could be a confrontation by mistake a miscalculation as the german foreign minister warned and he underlined both countries are looking over the abyss dorian jones in istanbul thank you.

asking to be released from his contract this after a disappointing season for barcelona many fans are calling on its board to step down and for messi to stay he's been with the club for 20 years. there are. local messy messy stay fans chant outside the camera stadium a mixture of shock that one of the greatest players the world has ever seen may not end his career at barcelona and anger at the barcelona board. to take the decision to leave for another club is something inexplicably we will defend him until death he isn't at fault the board is totally at fault. he would retire one day and we were hoping he would do that with our jersey so far it looks like that won't happen. he. wants is for the board to resign because

we aren't going anywhere. less than 2 weeks ago this was a reception from barcelona fans for messi and his team mates. it followed a record $82.00 loss against byron munich as possible and it crashed out of the champions league. that may have been messy his last game in a barcelona shirt you know no loss through his career a passer messi has won the world footballer of the year award a record 6 times and let pass a loner to 4 champions league and 10 spanish league titles. barcelona are yet to respond to his request to leave but they are understood to believe messing's release clause expired in june and he's contracts into the club for another year with a 700000000 euro buyout clause. and interviews the lima hotel sports joins us with more on this story so he wants to leave and he wants to leave for

free. yeah really and boss alone after it was well buss alone of course will fight tooth and nail to make sure that that doesn't happen and as to report indicated he has it you know messi has a 700000000 euro buyout clause and let me just go back a bit that the report already touched a bit on this so messy sent a fax to the clubs indicating that he wants to leave immediately and this is where things can get legally very very complicated because yes messi does have a clause that says that if he tricked us that he can leave on a free transfer but boston or not could then argue and say we all you have that clause but that clause expired you should have activated it by june and to which of course messi sleeve the team could then say that these are exceptional circumstances because of the crown of i was pandemic the seasons were extended and the champions league just finished what is it on sundays or technically or

theoretically the season does not end until august 31st but whatever the case this will be a very messy situation. he's in there for 20 years why and how that so . it's been reports coming out of boston for some time now that he's been unhappy if on the pitch for example oh this is this is their 1st trophy last season in 12 years. they've also had in the past few years quite a few mediating exits in the champions league including the most recent to last against by a new nick but it's i think it's really what's happening off the pitch and there's a lot of tension between the players and the management the arche especially the president of the club and we saw that. most recently with the cronut iris incident where the cup made it appear that the players did not want to take a wage cut of a pay cut when in fact the players then united and said that's not true and in fact

we did end up taking a 70 percent wage cut so this has it now many to speculate that perhaps mitt messi doesn't want to leave that he's using this as a tactic that it's a strategy to perhaps bring changes to the cops hierarchy maybe get the president to step down and force elections at the club but whatever the case this could mean you turn into one of the nastiest break ups in football and that would be very unfortunate because he's won 4 champion sneek with leeks with boston or not 10 titles and he joined the 1st team at the age of 17 is also a lawyer he's part of boston known as identity and when no one else was willing to take a chance on him it was possible now that brought him over and paid for his growth deficiency treatment growth hormone hormone growth deficiency treatment so yeah this is really not the ending that a lot of people in boston on a bus want to fans want to see and it's not over though until it's over we still have more to the story don't we know we were talking from or it's bring us up to

date on the situation. and you're watching news coming up next it is a close up remember you can always get more on our web site www dot com from. the entire team here at g.w. thank you so much for watching take care and stay safe.
