firing shots when he tripped after being chased by demonstrators at least one person fell to the ground also reports of multiple shots in other locations at the same time police and demonstrators have been facing off for the last 3 days and just spilled into the streets following the shooting by police on sunday of jacob blake a black president. earlier we spoke to our correspondent stefan's him once and he gave us this account of what's been happening on the streets of kenosha 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. 15 m. 16 type from a automatic weapon. then a 2nd burst and then we saw. protesters rushing to and actually to what the

police. 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 no we had no visible there that was too far away and it was too dark however what has transpired there this is we spoke is that a libertarian. militia type person the words. threatened by protesters and shot one protester in the head and says this for this is where a protester was delivered to the hospital which was the fall away but. it looks like it's become to his injury 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 through shooting each other now left through that is really surprised no it wasn't not for us probably not for many people in. them because we have seen throughout the day more and more white people in camouflage with a right old gun they are 15 m. 16 came out a magic map and paint guns of all calibers from. when we did the $45.00 millimeter and so on. flooding the streets and not confronting this way to work the protesters but also not in a very. nice base their parade. reporting that some perspective on this now from stacey from the u.s. election team this is the civilian shootings with similar automatic weapons on

citizens 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 notion 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 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 we conciliation after

a very competent and aggressive start. to day one was about the pending apocalypse of a democrat. from washington d.c. welcome to the 2025 you national convention then you moved east to west to soften the image of america's most unpopular president in almost 14 years now i'd like to avoid john's wife jamie to join us i grant john i'm not sure you know there's a full pardon. a pardon so 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. family drafted in to sing his praises this is a fight that we are 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 a thriving economy once and believe me he will do it again my problem there i'm speaking to you from beautiful jerusalem looking out of the doors the appearance of the secretary of state a figure normally kept out of party politics that rankled diplomats. this was the convention the group with convention trump delivered her headline speech from the white house in a breach of ethical norms offering a message of unity jog was the 1st night's warnings about democratic demons. i don't want to use these precious time attacking the other side because as we saw last week that kind of talk only serves to divide the country for a day the 1st 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 about to be

a citizens deserve from our president whether you like it or not you always know what he's thinking. her remarks ochlik out through the republican party's appeal to undecided voters ignore trump's malls and give him a 2nd chance. while says he begins from our u.s. election team is still with me in the studio stacy was this speech from a lot of chop was it a 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 edges of donald trump in macon similar 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 light 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 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 supports the 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 those as disastrous as he put it around 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 that 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 are 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. trying not to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.n. security council has blocked a bit by washington to reimpose sanctions on iran in the video conference the council 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 for lity.

2 prominent hong kong opposition lawmakers are more more than a dozen people arrested in connection with last year's until government protests launched a thing and said we were detained after early morning raids on the homes the arrests being viewed as part of a widening crackdown on opposition figures in hong kong. after the supreme court of the roof has rejected an appeal by the country's exiled opposition leader to an all the result of earth. the recent disputed presidential election. challenge the outcome last week news of president lukashenko his reelection triggered mass protests amid widespread allegations of vote rigging. rescue teams are searching for bodies and survivors off to serious flooding in northern afghanistan to ensure rain has caused flash flooding in power on province washing away thousands of homes local officials 70 people are confirmed dead but the actual

death toll is likely to be much higher as it could take weeks to determine the number of casualties. for that story let's bring in journalist. can you give us a sense of the stale of the destruction that. so i've been speaking to officials and hard won 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 homes have water in them at least 150 up to 300 homes so far have been completely destroyed walls are from billing and this is all in the provincial capital in the city of child called it self so that means doors will be damaged that means a 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 leaves the much more susceptible to damage from the flooding 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. natural disasters and promised through an aid 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 facial 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. experience is 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 not want it's

a lot of things 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 thank you very much for this update. thank you. senior ally of russian opposition figure alexander vonnie says he believes only president vladimir putin could have authorized the suspected poisoning of the outspoken kremlin critic moscow has dismissed as untrue any suggestion putin was involved in the body falling ill the case is causing strains between russia and germany now where the van is being treated by german doctors it's the latest example of the sometimes difficult ties between the 2 countries it's german foreign minister is as clear as a diplomat can be the alleged poisoning off aleksei now vonnie is

a serious matter. the services for it were fast it is vital that everything will be done to solve the case and hold those responsible to account for admission to russian shaft. but for germany the relationship with russia is not always black and white. russia is needed a lot of areas internationally for example the preservation of iranian nuclear deal so good for germany it's much more about a strategy of selective engagement than a bright lines the head of the bonus tax human rights committee called for european legislation similar to the u.s. magnitsky act which aims to punish human rights offend us we need to apply a magnitsky law on the european double that enables us as european union to individually sanction those responsible for human rights violations such as travel bans such as asset freezes germany's green property is renewing its calls

for the german government to scrap the controversial north stream to gas pipeline project linking germany and russia i think the thing that it's worth to to do why europe because of why that's all and to project also was. just wrong is one of funders of. which. this kind of systematic of us the nation that oh this is not we should be all there are some german seem to be in favor of a tougher stance towards russia. is a fantasy i find it very distressing and i hope the e.u. will speak with a common voice and maybe take action. must not. be light and press maybe getting a bit tougher or question certain things after all it's not the 1st time now as i

said i think germany has to make clear that we advocate values and human rights in international agreements when it comes to russia but also china have a base for germany russia has always been a complicated partner but rarely have relations been and know this much strain. and for more on that we can all go to south seas and alison russia at the german council on foreign affairs in a van his treatment in the berlin hospital has no doubt put a further strain on german austin relations and indeed e.u. we russian relations how serious you think this is. indeed an additional burden in german russian your generation relations creations have already been told just think about the war in ukraine or think about the publication of chancellor merkel against russia over same or in fact against the german parliament or in the absence the nation last year of the georgian insurance capital early and also compared to

these incidents and they're not holding trees well like replaying. minorities who moral in german russian marriage well several easy you countries and the us are calling for an investigation while the kremlin denies any wrongdoing allegedly backed up by medical findings at the hospital in is this credible. we can only gas what the reasons behind different assessment of the arms hospital are from this point we have to do that russia wants to cover up another boys an attack against one of these opposition activists or has no interest in her any additional attention to the situation others opposition activists and journalists that often we're going to concentrate insertion. political analyst on russia the german council on foreign affairs thank you very much for joining us. authorities have banned large scale demonstrations in berlin against measures to stop the

spread of the coronavirus the organizers had called a new protest this coming saturday and thousands were expected to attend the demonstration at the start of this month and berlin police said many people taking part had ignored rules on social distancing and the wearing of face masks putting public health at risk protesters clued vaccination activists and conspiracy theorists but also some of germany's most notorious right wing groups. political correspondent you know now joins us from our parliamentary studios here in berlin in the organizers don't want to accept the tell us more. several groups are already mobilizing their supporters online to still come to berlin this weekend they use. chat service is like telegrams so it's quite easy to follow their conversations and they're saying that it's important to send a message and to not accept this ban and still go to lend of course this is

something where authorities are alert and they're the organizers had announced that several 1000 people would come again and so it is going to be an exciting couple of days. i thought is our law so how will they go ahead and try to stop this. well the berlin senator for the interior has already announced that this time around the police will act decisively and rigorously and not tolerate any violations of existing hygiene rules and that they will break up those mass gatherings if they happen despite the ban the senate justified the ban by saying this is not an attack on the freedom of assembly this is a decision in favor of protecting public health and he said that the demonstrators behavior at the earlier demo earlier this month had shown that they clearly didn't want to hear to those hygiene rules and so a large scale event with so many participants at

a time when we're still in the middle of a pandemic is simply too risky that's what he said but he also added that and that is an important point when you talk about who's actually planning to come to berlin this weekend he said that a lot of those groups have clearly defined their goals and saying this is no longer just about the anti corona measures this is about overthrowing the german government because they're not legitimate that's what these people are saying and so the senator for the interior has said this is an attack against the free democratic system but some of these protests out attracted large crowds in the past and germany is the public still behind the government's strategy here. there are several agencies who conduct regular polls who want to find out what germans think about the anti corona measures and a very recent poll suggests that the german government still has massive support from the vast majority of germans that poll earlier this week suggested that 87

percent of germans are in favor of banning large scale events at the moment and there were similar figures for similar measures like the wearing of face masks in the public sphere t w political correspondent you know as i think you know. now on the subject let's take a look now at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic india has reported more than 67000 new cases in the past 24 hours raising the country's number of confirmed infections to 3200000 star has signed a deal to get supplies of russia's 1st potential covert 1000 bucks vaccine once clinical trials are complete about 3700 people in sweden were told an error that they had the qur'an of hours due to a fault in a testing kit from china and germany's travel warning for more than $160.00 countries outside the european union will be extended by 2 weeks due to continued
