this is new year's eve live from berlin donald trump takes aim at his democratic rival in a fiery renomination acceptance speech. joe biden is not the savior. of america so. here's the gist of america's job and if given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness but the white house as a backdrop presents himself as the defender of law and order and the most important election in u.s. history. hurricane laura needs at least 6 people dead and communities in

ruins as the u.s. gulf coast the state of louisiana is hardest hit by the most powerful storm to hit the u.s. in the years. and the embattled president of the rules turns to russia for help protests continue in the capital minsk despite a crackdown 20 journalists are among those detained including a d w reporter. antonio logic will join us donald trump has accepted the u.s. republican party's nomination during an hour long speech on the south lawn of the white house the u.s. president acceptance of the nomination closed the 4 day g.o.p. convention and comes amid simmering tension over police shooting. and racism this

week the republicans have pitched themselves as the party of law and order a point that donald trump drove home repeatedly in his address. this election will decide whether we save the american dream or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny. it will decide whether we rapidly create millions of high paying jobs or whether we crush our industries and send millions of these jobs overseas as has foolishly been done for many decades your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding americans or whether we give free rein. to violent and our kids and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. and this election will decide whether we will defend the american way of life or whether we

will allow a radical movement. to completely dismantle and destroy it and won't happen. our correspondent in a poll is in washington d.c. and our reporter peter old ali is here with me in studio let's start with you know in washington you know how has that speech been received in america. well 7 kind of predictable so the liberal media they are pending it saying it was full of live full of lies nothing but kind of untruth fake news. fox news so the rather frankly broadcaster here in the united states is praising is saying it it was much clearer than joe biden's speech and much more precise the goal of the speech is to persuade undecided americans to give him their votes how close did he get to achieving that.

well tommy he gave himself quite a bit of time it was the 2nd longest acceptance speech in the history of the united states the longest was 4 years ago also by donald trump so he really went from the suburbs to mars talking about many many topics which really do matter to many people here in the united states because we always have to keep in mind that this country is heavily struck by the cold with 19 pandemic that they just were facing a very devastating hurricane yesterday in texas and after all it is the ongoing ongoing police violence and a trump in a way managed to really kind of present himself as in control even so he is responsible in many ways for the things which are going on here but he did a fairly good job in that regard so maybe he's successful in reaching out and

convincing these swing voters you were talking about. trump launched numerous attacks on his democrat opponent joe biden let's hear one of those remarks. joe biden is not a savior of america's soul he is the destroyer of america's jobs and if given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness for 47 years joe biden took the donations of blue collar workers gave them hugs and even kisses. and told them he felt their pain. and then he flew back to washington and voted to ship our jobs to china. and many other distant lands.

peter rolled out here in studio peter does joe biden have a lot to be concerned about after tonight i think the short answer is yes frankly i mean biden has still a sizable lead about 8 points and in the national polls. but it has been shrinking he got a bit of a bump coming out of the of the convention which that the democrats you know devote it mainly to trying to court suburban voters white voters. you know painting trump as a divider and someone who really only cares about himself and i think you know here comes trump with this speech. at least in this speech shattering that conception i think that notion of trump and really landing one point after another on biden you know this comes at a time of obviously social racial unrest and he very effectively painted biden as a threat to america's safety and prosperity he said you know but it would be fun

the police would open the borders he would you know take away the freedom to choose your own school he would ship jobs overseas. and then you have one of the greatest minds i think of a speech where he spent the last 4 years doing biden's 47 years in office and the damage that he's done is a big challenge for biden is that despite his decades as a politician you know a lot of voters still say they don't really know him they don't really know what he stands for and if you're one of those voters a lot of voters don't be a lot of attention to american politics well you just heard that speech you can think well i would actually what my living there and briefly he said he fulfilled his promises and he made more promises has he done much to build trust among americans well he definitely painted himself as you know very compassionate a father figure someone who cares someone has a plan for america the only thing is that the plan he laid out you know he is known

to have a fairly loose relationship with the truth and this speech was definitely no it's. section i frankly lost count of the number of false hits that he laid out in that he told during the speech from his handling of the corona virus 2. things about biden the questions after the 1st 4 years has he earned the benefit of the doubt i think doesn't make question ok let's head back to. washington is where do we go from here. well you know normally now the kind of hot season would start and we would have many many rallies but because of the corona virus this will hardly happen so we know watching out for the debates between the 2 wice presidents and presidents almost trump and joe biden that's going to be very interesting and we will report about that as well ok in a poll in washington d.c. peter roald dahl here in studio 3 a thank you 3. rescue efforts are underway

in the u.s. state of louisiana after it was battered by the most powerful storm in years 6 people have been reported killed after hurricane laura hit yeezy hanna and neighboring texas overnight with winds gusting at over 240 kilometers an hour. hurricane laura made landfall as a category 4 storm ravaging through the southern states of the u.s. . now thousands of homes in texas and louisiana are submerged in water and many others are severely damaged hundreds of thousands of people were ordered to evacuate but not everyone did it. i state we have several and everything in our state that it gets and it was. ground water so the we're

going to hear the neighbor's roof blew off the house and this blew this. blew into the. president trump says he's planning to visit the affected gulf coast though not immediately. was going to texas is going to lose louisiana maybe arkansas looks like arkansas just spoke to the governor it's going to be in pretty good shape but they'll need some help but now it turned out we got a little bit lucky it was very big it was very powerful but it passed quickly and so everything's on schedule will probably be going on saturday or sunday as president i just would encourage. people to keep keep the people we c.n.n. in texas in arkansas where you sign an emergency declaration as a tropical storm moves north keep them in your prayers but also keep in mind organizations like red cross that are also on the ground that are providing

assistance and support to all of the efforts for families. forecasters have warned of a continued risk to life as the storm moves inland deeper into louisiana though it has not considerably weakened. the chemical fire in the lake charles area of louisiana has broken out emergency crews are tackling it and the governor has warned residents in the area to shelter. the federal emergency management agency says resources are in place to help restore service says to affected areas in the weeks and months ahead. russian president vladimir putin says the leader of belarus has turned to moscow for assistance put in says his counterpart alexander lukashenko. asked him to prepare a russian law enforcement contingent to be sent to if necessary meanwhile police in

the capital have again arrested dozens of anti-government protesters and a number of journalists were also held a d.w.i. reporter was among them but was later released. day 19 of the protests against bellaver asean president alexander lukashenko saw dozens of women stand in the chain of solidarity to highlight another flash point of the police crackdown a peaceful and respectful show down the independence square in minsk where tensions run high the night before security forces arrested around 50 people and when dozens of others sought refuge inside of the st simon and st helena church policed lock the main. president lukashenko is both trying to exert control by his own means and secure the support of his longtime ally russian president vladimir putin and. he would like us to provide him with appropriate assistance if necessary i said that russia would fulfill all its obligations. the words match those of the joint

security treaty between the countries but perhaps were not the rounds in the woods of unqualified support the deliberate dictator of 26 years was looking for. a book or it will only be used when extremist elements using a political slogans as cover cross a certain boundary and start armed robbery start setting fire to cars houses which banks should try to seize government buildings and administrative buildings. so mr luzhin goes regime remains isolated from europe and now waiting for russia where as yet he's not willing to intervene while protest remained peaceful. basketball now and following the boycott by the milwaukee bucks bucks in protest of the at the shooting of jacob blake the n.b.a. has confirmed it has also postponed thursday's playoff series games players met to

discuss whether to return to action the n.b.a. said it was hopeful of resuming games on friday or saturday in response to the player protest us president donald trump criticized the n.b.a. for becoming quote like a political organization. here's a reminder of the top story this hour. all trump has accepted the renomination of the republican party to run as its time today for november's presidential election in a speech outside the white house he called it the most important election in u.s. history we want to get the destruction of the future of the night it states by a socialist agenda and attacked his democratic rival joe biden as a destroyer of america's jobs and would be destroy all american greatness. the watching the news times told me a lot of board member there's more news on our website dot com follow us on twitter and on instagram at the news thanks for joining us. tonight.

i'm neal i'm good goalkeeper the 2nd season on the front of the planet on the brink of disaster we just longed in-depth interviews with experts about one question how to change the focus of the only difference.

a new strain of virus has brought the world to its needs. the virus they're working hard looks like by april we're oculus he goes away hope that's true some countries are managing to protect the public others are failing. to so here add more. if this is serious and you can seriously. you know race against this deadly disease political systems compete to prove their superiority. and more harm will come when they will when china will win.

just seen a strong state cannot useful new species that might smile new sometimes when you have to ask what you can learn right down to 100 percent so it's interesting that this it's a hobby. thought. the pandemic has thrown political accountability and personal tragedy into sharp relief be. covert 1000 patients they want. this 62 year old woman is running a fever and having trouble breathing textbook symptoms of pneumonia. she will spend the next 39 days fighting for her life. we don't film her every day.

some scenes are reconstructions based on her medical records how does this virus affect our bodies and where did it come from. in central china has a population of over 11000000 this is where the virus was 1st identified but as this word originated. chinese critics will later claim that the sars c.o.v. 2 strain was created in a lab and one according to another theory it jumped from wild animals to humans at a wet market and. whatever the origin by december 21000 the city's hospitals were struggling to contain an outbreak of unknown etiology. late december we received a signal that there were a cluster of unexplained ammonia a new one and china we had no diagnosis and it could have been flu and so we activated our networks to verify the event and it is.

both your call. was linked to a single source like most single source outbreaks were ready called through it. one of the 1st doctors to sound the alarm was lead when young. un december 30th he warned his colleagues and local hospitals to be a private chat. one hour later one member wrote. me replied.

please worst fears were confirmed when authorities moved to silence him. he was interrogated by the police force to sign a letter of reprimand and a promise to stop spreading rumors time was running out. the u.k. yet and his family were unaware of the extent of the danger posed by the new virus in early january he took his father to his annual medical check up. at this point the news the online media and video sites were all reporting that there was no human to human transmission. and that the break was under control and it spread could be avoided. today he believes his father

contracted the virus during that routine check up on january the 15th he came down with a fever. but across china it was still business as usual preparations for the lunar new year celebrations were underway. millions of people were traveling across the country to visit family. meanwhile a young father was fighting for his life. he was transferred to a hospital where covert 1000 patients were being isolated. little in mosul coming here triggers hellish memories. on call book on fever my father die on the 12th floor of that building their home they call it you know that this was the evening before he died pictures of those on the saying goodbye to

my mother maya video challenged us live in. he's convinced that his father's death could have been avoided had the 140 sworn to the virus sooner. while the spread of covert $1000.00 gathered pace and the rest of the world germany included was focused on other issues. in australia and in stunned as he stared lot it's a kind and the death of bush and insist they also show mr president smith video by actions on and look today to get a sense how we once on a fall magen such

a system can stay out into the conic they still. only a handful of scientists understood the gravity of the situation. at the biotech company tour back in 2 bingham researchers were anxiously awaiting the 1st novel coronavirus genome sequence and after the tour i began after the christmas break we need to start as soon as the sequence was made available about the sixpence dies and she couldn't do it even if we changed our minds license and yeah i decided to start the same day and not waste any time night. the high stakes international ranks to develop a vaccine against the new virus was on. researchers in berlin were also getting to work with one of the 1st diagnostic tests for coke in $1000.00 was developed at her lynn shari tay hospital. before long it was apparent that scientists worst fears were being realized. plus to

be heard in he not yet stool and had just not me given from the us what on one does not i'll to get in coal one of you was to stop. them if you want to step up to the phone. in the who bay province some 60000000 people faced a travel ban and were soon effectively under house arrest. neighborhood committees were set up to supervise entry and exit points and make sure residents had regular food supplies. to kenya is china is a surveillance state we knew that before the crew of irish crisis us had secret most of it and that paid off in this case because the state is able to use existing surveillance infrastructure here to efficiently impose strict local lockdown our homes are shut down still through and called. the one party state was affected

but it also made sure any dissent was squashed. coded 1000 patients day 3. the 62 year old patient's condition is deteriorating fast her breathing is so labored that she requires him to patient an artificial respiration. her lungs are severely inflamed. but by day 5 her condition starts to improve she's response of things are looking up. and when one talks none of them want her in common such. doesn't know you all to get hold of you was hot enough. deferments it's this automobile it's really fun to be bused to instruct off the. league and also he not i'm going to stick to believe me that's

also in view of what says it and spiffy if you wish to take dish. t.v. there's a lot to get destroyed in orange. by january 31st some 12000 cases of the new coronavirus have been registered almost all of them in china. but the 1st cases outside the country were now also being recorded. miti on the way in mid january governments will being told to guess how epidemic plans are be playing a crisis are actually unfolding a number of countries took it seriously because they took prying experience. one of the 1st countries to launch a rapid response to the coronavirus was taiwan. was responsible for containing the spread of her neighborhood. not them. and i was in

a. housing run to shut down in the short as a township mayor some of her new responsibilities include checking up on people who are sheltering at home and bringing them food supplies and reading material it's a social service provided by the city of taipei but it also annexed social control or did you check your temperature today during the day when her ago it was normal to have a run. you know see her cause any of these symptoms that we know nothing. nothing that's great mr mom has just returned from the us he has to quarantine for 2 weeks . he receives financial assistance while he stays at home. i cannot believe this because if i won't be so oh then the c.d.c. or the police. will know.

even as garbage is taken care of a municipal trash collector specifically comes by to pick up garbage from homes of people in quarantine. it separate it from other waste and incinerated. shenzhen jen was minister for health during the 2003 sars outbreak that claimed 73 lives in taiwan. and i think that we have prepared for the so called 19. made for 17 to the south we came across this. area and then that. pandemic flu so the entire. health administration as well as i was in the sea have practiced the how to. make it work. that included stockpiling facemasks unlike in many western countries taiwan ramped

up its production of surgical masks. so. each person was allowed to purchase 2 every 7 days. taiwan never imposed a strict lockdown like the one and move on. the small island proved to the rest of the world that it was indeed possible to contain the virus by late august only 7 people had died a covert 1000 in taiwan. years of preparation as well as extensive contact tracing and serve the authorities well. the west meanwhile remained oblivious to the oncoming threat or were they simply indifferent i'm sure we are going to take back the house. oh. oh oh why.

don't i go. in the international and fish beatific on and learn from. the ice that i own up to i see tells in keno bazooka of adam pretty common i'm seeing tiger adopted and then kind of us all walking on what i know how to talk to him who point to another was a style to completion and soon. in. france 2 had yet to ban mass gatherings. the christian open door church a french evangelical mega church. a 5 day rally held here became ground 0 for the epidemic in france. there hasn't been a service here for weeks.
