republican party's nomination during an hour long speech on the south lawn of the white house the u.s. presence acceptance of the nomination close the port a convention comes amid simmering tension over police shootings and racism this week the republicans have pitched themselves as the party of law and order a point that don't 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. thank you it will decide whether we rapidly create millions of high paying jobs or whether we crush our industries and said 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 that won't happen. thank our correspondent in this poll is in washington was following trump speech in his how is donald trump's nomination speech going down in america. i tarried really depends who you ask why it's like. the liberal media call it a fog too long speech full off lies and. beloved broadcasts of fox news says president chances after delivering one of his best speeches they call this a trump big night. to what degree in as did donald trump uses

speech to reach out to voters beyond his traditional base. i think it was a very effective speech she reached out to his base and just played everything they wanted to hear if you can say so but he also made some remarkable convincing points i think reaching out to possible swing waters when he talked. his plan really bringing back the economy specially when he talked about how this hollande strongly he will fight china so there were some moments which probably went down pretty well also for those who would rather have thought there will never be able to vote for donald trump ok now both the democrats and the republicans have their nominees in place what can we expect from their campaigns as

we move toward the november election no. right so normally we would see many many rallies right but because of the pandemic this won't happen so it's extra exciting to watch both the vice presidents and all the vice president and the vice president candidates coming to harris and the president and joe biden during the debates and it's possible that coming here is kind of mike pence but it shall be interesting to see how biden i answer is to this very strong and kind of. president told trump in his thank you very much good to see you. in this poll in washington. the whole trump of course launched numerous attacks on his democratic opponent joe biden here's a sample. 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. the op 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 joining me in studio for some analysis is peter lloyd from a us elections team good to see you again peter so does joe biden have more reason to be concerned well i think the short answer is yes absolutely i mean his his lead is narrowed in the polls over the past and if there's one thing we've really

learned over the past 4 years with donald trump is to never count out trump and he really proved out with this speech you might even say that he acted presidential something that we don't see all the time from. a father who cares deeply about america and americans but i don't speak challenge is that you know despite decades of washington being a prominent politician the vice president many voters say they don't really feel like they know him what he stands for and trump my thing managed to make it quite compelling case for what he stands for. but didn't speak advantage at the same time is that trump is often his own worst enemy and so the big question is how long will trump be able to stay on message. and how long until he maybe has another meltdown on twitter reminds people that there's that side to him as well what about the message just talk about the vision what sort of vision is trump offering for his 2nd term as president is that much of the same or something there you know it's

really a mix i think i mean it's still very much america 1st it restore law and order as we saw but it's also a promise to you know build a more united a more just an inclusive american that is certainly new. and that is also a message that is directed squarely. awards black voters i think he promised to restore american prosperity to create 10000000 jobs within the next 10 months he guaranteed health care something that republicans you have actively tried to you know do obamacare more than 70 attempts to repeal obamacare and he also you know he spoke of the pen demick absolutely many were looking for a clear plan and this is what he had to offer. to save as many lives as possible we are focusing on the science the facts and that that we are aggressively sheltering those at highest risk especially the elderly allowing low risk americans to safely

return to work and to school and we want to see so many of those great states be open by democrats we want them to be open they have to be open they have to get back to work. we will have a safe and effective vaccine this year and together we will crush the virus so promising about seeing promising to crush the virus what do you think peter did president trump make a convincing case for his handling of the corona crisis coronavirus crisis so far well if you take his word for it absolutely the problem is you know the question is whether voters will buy it the picture that he painted of how his straightness been handling this crisis does not release square with the experience that most americans have. you know trump said for instance that he will that he will stick to science while he's actively fought science is within his own administration the perfect example was his own speech over

a 1000 guest no social distancing barely anyone was wearing a mask no test almost being done. so you know he very much painted a picture of america the way that he would like it to be the problem is he's the president he is many of the crisis that we're facing right now in the u.s. happened on his watch and the question is whether voters feel despite all this after this speech that he's the surf the benefit of the doubt and the 2nd chance peter thank you so much for your insights peter lloyd from d.w. u.s. election take issue with. take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today a teenager has been charged with killing 2 people and injuring a 3rd during protests against the police shooting of a black man in the u.s. state of wisconsin kyle rittenhouse faces 6 criminal counts including murder authorities believe the 17 year old was inspired by self-styled militia groups on social media. recovery efforts are underway in the southern u.s.

after one of the most powerful storms in years working laura left at least 6 people dead after smashing into louisiana with winds of 240 kilometers an hour meteorologists have downgraded it to a tropical storm that threatens to bring strong winds rain and tornadoes as it moves northeast. you know says it will seek hundreds of millions of dollars to help rebuild lebanon's devastated capital beirut although the august 4th explosion was centered on the port the u.n. agency says $160.00 schools were damaged or destroyed you know school also wants funds to rebuild the roots cultural heritage. and spokeswoman for russian opposition leader alexei nobody says she is not optimistic about a recovery vonnie remains in a coma in a serious condition he was airlifted to berlin for treatment after falling ill in siberia a week ago german doctors say he was poisoned findings the kremlin has disputed western leaders have called for

a transparent investigation. japan's prime minister shinzo is expected shortly to announce his resignation because of health problems you're looking at live pictures of in tokyo right now speculation on political future has been rife after several hospital visits this month is expected resignation comes just 4 days after he became japan's longest serving prime minister but obvious popularity has declined recently over his handling of a coronavirus pandemic is economic program known as. is also perceived as having failed to deliver. i thought that within a week i find him a kind of. well earlier i spoke to michael penn a journalist in tokyo i asked him what his departure would mean for the country it's probably not going to bring about any immediate radical break in policy

because. there's no chance in the opposition party or any you know anybody who's an extremely different ideology becoming prime minister at this time it will be the same ruling party that will lack the number one of its politicians to become the next prime minister now there is some variation in the views of the politicians so it could be someone who has been an abaya ally for these past 7 or 8 years one of the major candidates on the other hand is one of his main critics within the ruling party so there will be some changes no doubt personality changes but probably not too many radical policy breaks with his resignation at least not immediately. that was journalist michael penn there speaking to me a short while ago from tokyo now as we said popularity has been declining recently over his handling of the credit crisis but also after his economic program known as

makes failed to deliver it's been coming under increasing strain with japan slumping into recession even before the coronavirus crisis hit. he's always seen themselves as a reformer set on shaping the future japan's prime minister shinzo abi and his party v l d p won the 2012 election on a platform of revving up the economy and breaking with obsolete economic traditions his main plan was to ease japan's monetary policy the country's central bank set the printing presses in motion and flooded the market with fresh cash then he installed credit financed economic stimulus programs abhi wanted to make japanese society its legal system and labor market more business friendly one objective to get more women into the workforce thereby increasing productivity he called his program abi nomics using rb nomics i will increase jobs and incomes and revitalize

the countryside while making citizens livelihoods better. and it worked at least in the beginning abi nomics temporarily boosted the confidence of the japanese economy and japan citizens but after the initial highs the stock markets in japan plummeted sharply. makes couldn't strengthen the economy in a sustainable way as g.d.p. during avi's term in office shows the risks of abi nomics may outweigh the benefits but over leveraging the economy to the point of sovereign bankruptcy not to mention the loss of confidence on capital markets. you're watching news still to come. a pianist in the ruins no longer we hear the story of a body found sanctuary here in germany 5 years ago.

the 1st germany is stepping up efforts to stop what appears to be a coronavirus comeback the number of new infections has serves to levels not seen since april so chesler has announced tougher measures to calm. surge travelers returning from risk high risk areas will have to quarantine for 2 weeks lord skill advances being extended until the end of the year and people breaking the rules on wearing a taste mask in public will be find. it took 5 and a half hours of virtual talk to reach an agreement the rules for travel to high risk countries will be tightened stricter quarantine and no more wait compensation for the time of quarantine. in the upper limb but we urge all those returning from travel to comply with a quarantine obligations and those also meet their responsibility towards fellow citizens knew this travel to designated risk areas is to be avoided whenever

possible isn't in also these new musical beat the system is germany has navigated the pandemic fairly well but the number of new daily cases has been rising since early july worrying with the prospect of the upcoming flu season. for the fact that we are facing a winter that cannot be calculated at least from a current point of view when we do not know what effects the flu and other illnesses will have the numbers are too early too high so our goal must be to bring down the numbers and to avoid a 2nd lockdown by. the political leaders agreed on a minimum fine for those who don't wear face masks people returning from low risk countries won't be offered free testing anymore but the testing capacities will be expanded it. come to every infection that is detected early is again every infection that is not recognized as a problem and every infected person who gets

a negative test result is downright a danger to the confab but governments are also extending a ban on major events such as concerts or sports at least until the end of the year the premiers and the chancellor couldn't reach an agreement on a limit of people attending private festivities. russia's president vladimir putin says he set up a police unit to support the embattled leader alexander lukashenko putin said he was responding to a request from the go although he said the force would only be used if the situation quote got out of control in the capital minsk police again arrested dozens of anti-government protesters a number of journalists were also held including a d w reporter who was later really just. for the very latest now let's cross over to minsk where our correspondent nick connolly is covering developments there nick

tell us more about the demonstrators have been arrested on what grounds were they are they being held and how are they being treated. good morning terry well this is they have a difficult to say at this point because telephones routinely taken away from people detained by police on the square protesting here this is interesting in so far as there hadn't been many arrests for the past week or 2 protesters have been allowed to go out but they were filmed by security but yes the evening then a group of what's believed to about 70 to 80 people were detained on independence square and interesting lead the authorities doing their best to prevent reporter filming reporting on base threatening reporters with detention if they were to film this and this is indeed what happened including to my colleague who spent about 6 hours into tension she was to provide access to her phone to provide she refused to do that and when she refused to that she was only released today had confiscated

her phone so really tempted to crackdown on protests and coverage of those protests it's been 3 weeks since the election and little has changed do you get the impression that the protest movement is losing momentum. i'm not sure that. the case i think the crew the big question is here where does this all go there is no roadmap for this kind of protest here in betters this is a country that essentially was without politics for a quarter century opposition politics was a very nice marginal activity and now suddenly you have 2 to 300000 people coming out on the streets of minsk in a country of only 10000000 people so politics suddenly all over the place and people grasping for new forms of organization new kind of opposition council and people trying to work out who will lead this or if they even need a leader so i think that is the big question now where this goes but there doesn't seem to be any. great fear on the part of the test is any great willingness to stay

at home and to stop coming out it's just totally unclear for now how this would go on given that the government is refusing any kind of dialogue ok that's the protesters but what about how much support does he still have president lukashenko does he still have the full backing of the military for example. seems for now that the top brass is on his side but there have been. resignations from people the boots on the ground policeman all me. soldiers and people throughout the structures who have left some of them left the country for fear of reprisals after their decision to leave the government service i think the shia numbers make it very difficult for the government to crack down fully. to 300000 people that is unprecedented and. goes regime simply doesn't have enough people to put all these people behind bars so i think there is safety in numbers for now but what's going no one can say for now the confrontation continues nic thank you so

much data as nick conley there in minutes. this week career looking back at events in the summer of 2015 when europe faced its biggest migration crisis since world war 2 hundreds of thousands of migrants fled their home countries in search of a better future on the continent most of them crossed from turkey to greece. often in flimsy rubber dinghies more than 750000 migrants landed on greek shores that year from where they took what became from there they took what became known as the balkan route traveling north through macedonia and serbia into slovenia or hungary then on to austria and other e.u. countries including germany. well chancel americal declared an open door policy for refugees from syria as a result germany took in about a 1000000 migrants although not all of them were qualified to stay one of those who

did qualify was a home here's his story. his songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also of hope 5 years ago pianist fled syria specifically the young refugee camp for palestinians. back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created beauty to fight despair. it was hungry or so and i don't can feed my family but i was keeping playing piano we die anyway we would die from hunger in 56 days volume when i don't die play piano at least it's held me i don't think music it's feed people or help people really it's held that mentality to see at least some of the whites white to place in the in all this got us through

off in the other more comp. yarmulkes a neighborhood of damascus it was under constant siege from i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and played music. in the images of him playing with fire when a ham fled to germany in 2015 he was already a minor celebrity and was quickly offered a public state but he felt uncomfortable with the attention. and said. i am here famous playing piano the pianist all feel moved but we are a group of people i thought i took a bit in connection with him it's not easy and well. somebody is still dying from hunger and you tell him look we speak about you hear what it's done for me there you know this is this is not the easy here he is performing at a refugee shelter in berlin at a celebration marking 5 years since chancellor angela merkel's we can do it

statement in the meantime ahab's wife and sons have joined him and he can work play in concert people listen to him. i am not start on the liver liver feel i am a star i feel responsible to tell of this blah blah blah what i tell it no it's important maybe it's not so important for people to hear it but at least i feel responsible to tell it and i use every mike every camera to tell that for people a ham songs deal with what he's experienced and he's also written his autobiography which was published in germany last year in it he tells of his father who built musical instruments and of his own childhood in a still peaceful syria he tells of the children he watched die and of the moment when i asked fighters burned his piano but constantly retelling his story takes its toll. when i go on with this is story and remembering remembering the war

it's a really true heavy here and this is why i will list of the music because when i go on i just well will still the pianist and the trombone or that this image but the horrible images from last night's past won't stop so easily hopefully he won't give up music that helped him during his darkest times and it helps him now allowing him to make a living and a new life in germany. and just from the top stories we're following for you here today on. in the past few minutes speech apennines prime minister shinzo other. has announced his resignation comes just just days after it became the longest serving holder of the office he's quitting because of health problems. and donald trump has accepted the nomination

of the republican party to run as its candidate in november presidential election called it the most important election in u.s. history at a time his democratic rival joe biden as a destroyer of american child. you're watching the w. news global 3000 is coming up next and of course and get all the latest news and information when everyone on our website let's d.w. dot com says i'm sorry mark thanks for.
