firing shots when he tripped after being chased by demonstrators at least one person fell to the ground there were also reports of multiple shots in other locations at the same time police and demonstrators have been facing off for the last 3 days as the spills onto the streets followed following the shooting by police on sunday of jacob blake a black president. earlier we spoke to our correspondents and he gave us this account of what's been happening on the streets of can osha during the night. the police was largely successful to enforce the curfew for the 1st time in 3 nights pushing protesters down a main street when suddenly the french president as well as the protesters heard a burst of shots. and this was immediately identifiable as shots from a long gun. seen m 16 type from a automatic weapon. then the 2nd burst and then we saw. protests this

rush and next week to what the police which are the vans in an armored vehicles and screaming at the police for help and forcing them. to rush down to a scene which we have to say that also had not seen we have we had no bizzle there that was too far away and it was too dark however what has transpired there according to witnesses we spoke is that a libertarian. militia tried. the words. threatened by protester and shot one protester in the head and as a sport this is where the protester was delivered to the hospital which was the fall away but. it looks like it's become serious injury and i also talked to

witnesses who says there are more than 5 people who had actually shot but that is not confirmed confirmed as of now 3 people shot again not from police but these are civilians who are shooting each other now. today it is really a surprise no it wasn't not for us probably not for many people in. because we have seen throughout the day more and more white people in camouflage with a right old so the guns are they are 15 m. 16 come out american rap and paint guns of all calibers. my mini me to do $45.00 millimeter and so on. landing the 3 and not confronted if way to work appropriate but also modern a very. nice they'd be there for a. used to fancy ones the ones reporting the van let's get some perspective on this now from stacey from the us election team says the civilian

shootings move in with similar money weapons on other citizens what i was supposed to make of this it's really something that's unbelievable and as we were talking earlier this is something that i really feel this know she was consonant with like a 2nd home to me my cousins relocated there from the chicago suburbs and so i spent summers there in the streets playing and being free and going to church with my on so it's something that's really sad and activists are you know lamenting the fact that months after the death of george floyd at the hands of police we are still in the same place maybe it seems a little bit more heated but the fact the matter is there has been very little change in order to make black americans in certain neighborhoods feel more safe expression when they're when there's an altercation with police. we're going to come back to you in just a minute because this is all happening against the backdrop of the 2nd day of the republican national convention which was supposed to strike

a different note one of reconsideration after a very combative and aggressive start. day one was about the pending apocalypse of a democrat win from washington d.c. welcome to the 2025 maybe you can national convention. evil deeds to use to soften the image of america's most unpopular president in almost 40 years oh i'd like to avoid john's wife jamie to join us as great john i'm not sure you know there's a fall apart. a pardon so i'm not one of his friends but for a former bank robber the theme of redemption set the tone for a night which casts trump as america's savior. his family drafted in to sing his praises this is a fight that we're in right now and it is a fight that only my father can win as a recent graduate i can relate to so many of you might be looking for

a job my father built on a ride in economy once and believe me he will do it again. i'm speaking to you from beautiful jerusalem looking out at the oars the appearance of the secretary of state a figure normally kept out of party politics that rankle diplomats. this was the convention that broke with convention trump delivered her headline speech from the white house in a breach of ethical norms offering a message of unity that charged with the 1st night's warnings about democratic demons. i don't want to use distress is stunning attacking the other side because as we saw last week that kind of talk only serves to divide the country a farce lady then touched on her husband's controversial relationship with the truth. we all know donald trump makes no secret about how he feels about things.

total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president whether you like it or not we always know what he's thinking. our remarks ochlik out through the republican party's appeal to undecided voters ignore trump's malls and give him a 2nd chance. from our u.s. election team is still with me in the studio as they see this speech from a lot of trouble to success well i mean she did was she set out to do 1st she needed to redeem herself in the 2016 are and see where she kind of borrowed some of the 1st lady michelle obama's speech so this time it seemed like it was a plagiarism phrase so that was good and i think she also managed to kind of smooth the ad edges of donald trump and make him seem a bit more human that was her goal to try to make people forget about some of the

racist things he said some of the sergeant mystic things that he has said and to put him in a more human lives and i think that this. it's also meant to try to make suburban women expressions feel more comfortable about the things that he said because they can say oh well you know she's with him and she's a credible person and so he must be good so maybe it's ok to vote for him. somebody else who sort of intervened that was my compare u.s. secretary of state. that was quite unusual that he sort of support stern donald trump in this convention why was that because i stepped away from president so in the 75 years the secretary of state has never come forward to endorse a candidate and that's because this position is supposed to be outside of politics so politics and diplomacy are supposed to be 2 separate things and clearly he broke

those bounds talking about how great trump was in dealing with china and north korea and stepping away from the disastrous as he put it a rendezvous so he made this a political thing and it's also different from what we're used to. because this. the question is does this violate a federal law and this is what some democrats are looking at because he is because he did step out into the political arena in this position. is this convention hitting the right notes to secure a 2nd term for president trump i mean they're really doing their best the 1st night i have to say if i you know just ascended to earth i'd be like what is happening here the the the united states that they painted under a president joe biden seemed very scary dangerous and so they were if you were a nervous voter who's more concerned about law and order you probably have his vote

this is also meant to solidify his base so that and the 3rd major part is that well he would like to siphon off some of the black votes i'm going to let you know vote . what he was really trying to do was make suburban voters who are turned off by his in a phobia by his racism make them feel like it's ok to vote for him maybe he's a little gruff and maybe he's a little crass but he still has our best interests at heart and so maybe he can seduce them into voting for him one more time we'll find out soon enough stated this is a bit thank you very much for your welcome to. time now to take a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.n. security council has blocked a bit by washington to reimpose sanctions on iran in a video conference the council's president said there was a lack of consensus in the un's highest body over u.s.

strategy on iran 13 of the 15 council members voted to reject the bids validity. to prominent hong kong opposition lawmakers than a dozen people arrested in connection with last year's mass government protests. and said we were detained after early morning raids on their homes the arrests are being viewed as part of a widening crackdown on opposition figures in hong kong. a kremlin spokesman is disputing claims that are they say in a van he was poisoned saying this absolutely cannot be true this comes off the german doctor said they had found evidence the russian opposition leader was poisoned the volley was brought to the ins shara to hospital on saturday after falling ill in siberia. rescue teams are searching for bodies and survivors after serious flooding in northern afghanistan to rental rain has caused flash flooding in power one province leading to the destruction of

thousands of homes local officials say at least 70 people are confirmed dead but the actual death toll is likely to be much higher said could take weeks to determine the actual number of casualties. for that story let's bring in journalist earlier to fear in early can you give us a sense of the stale of the destruction that. so i've been speaking to officials and part one since the morning and what they say is that you know they go from house to house street to street road to road and everywhere they go there are homes affected by the flooding they were saying thousands of water in the east 150 i. up to 300 homes so far have been completely destroyed walls are crumbling and this is all in the provincial capital in the city of child called itself so that means doors will be damaged that means the hospital could face damage that means homes are obviously being damaged and a lot of these places

a lot of these areas are unplanned residences so that means places are very close to each other and they're not properly built so that leads them much more susceptible to damage from the flooding and what kind of aid is the government providing to the region. so the government you know the ministry of defense promised any necessary aid the regional directorate of natural disasters as promised through dade and other kinds of aid that the provincial government itself has started to distribute financial aid but the biggest problem as i said i just spoke to help the fischel a few minutes earlier and he said the number keeps changing hour by hour so we can't even a specific number or a specific answer to know what the total damage is. so it's really one of those things that think they have to it's as they go. along province regularly experiences deadly flooding why is that. a lot of

a has to do with infrastructure right if you don't have properly built roads if you have houses that are on land if you don't have proper canalization i mean what we have to remember is that it's not just won it's a lot of provinces and the north and the east and even in the city of kabul entire segments of the city you know become flooded when it rains if it rains too much you know the city of kabul becomes flooded it turns into rivers and so it's really a problem of infrastructure. in the. us for this update. thank you. to barrows now where the supreme court has rejected an appeal from the opposition to a now the result of the country's disputed presidential election. who has ruled by the rules for 26 years claimed victory sparking mass demonstrations against his government despite based on president's challenge to his authority he's shown no signs of giving him. there's

stepped down and for messi to stay he's been with the club for 20 years. the local messy messy stay fans chant outside the camp no stadium a mixture of sharks they're 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 but he isn't that far out the board is totally at fault no one of the notion that you had always knew 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. the problem and knows what we want 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 on a crashed out of the champions league. that may have been messy his last game in a barcelona shirt you know no loss to his career a boss a message has won the world footballer of the year award a record 6 times and led parcel owner 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 his contracts it's of a club for another year with a 700000000 euro buyout clause. sports is joining me now how likely is it the boss a lot will let him leave early i mean think about it very unlikely we're talking

about messi here arguably the world's best player ever he is worth a lot of money and if boston or i managed to sell and neymar to p.s.g. a few years ago for a record transfer fee of 222000000 euros then messi is worth way way more and do keep in mind that messi does have a buyout clause in his contract that is worth 700000000 euros that is a lot of money that's a lot of money that is a lot of money and messi also has a clause in his deal that if triggered he should be allowed to leave the club on a free transfer now on what happened on tuesday messi sent a fax a fax with a tax in itself says that the village unsure probably has deteriorated because if that is your only way of communication and he indicated in that hacks that he wants to leave the cup immediately and that is where it gets now legally very very tricky because barcelona can say you do have this clause but this cross expired and it

expired because you should have activated it by june but messi is legal team. can then come to that and say but wait a minute these here are exceptional circumstances because of the cronut virus pandemic. the entire football season was extended so theoretically speaking the deadline should be august 31st. he has been with this very very famous and successful club for 20 years why leave now and this is that we have to look at what's happening on the pitch and off the pitch starting off with on the pitch this is one of the worst seasons for boston or not they went trophy lists and they this has not happened in the past 12 years and let's also not forget the recent humiliation at the hands of buy a new nick in the champions league an 82 loss i mean that must really destroy your morale especially if you're a giant football club like boston or not and then of course there's also put

transfer policies where the past few years botswana have been buying expensive kaos who have been unable to contribution or they just can't fit them properly into the system and then off the pitch there's a lot of tension between players and a pain management as well as the president of the club and this is why there's a lot of speculation now where people believe that maybe messi does not want to leave at all that maybe messi is using all of this as a tactic to try to bring to changes to the cops hierarchy that he's trying to put pressure on them and hopefully the president steps down and there'll be new elections very interesting if he actually wins the battle and is free to leave briefly please what are is it's a question of who can afford him very few clubs can and the obvious choices operate them on and of course mentors the city and mentors the city would be really interesting because he would be reuniting with his ex coach pep guardiola and we were talking views votes thank you very much. and here's
