8:05 am
and today we've seen a number of shootings and deaths since george george floyd died but the shooting allegedly in self defense by kyle ritter house as a completely new dimension to what's happening and all to many locations in the united states yep i think i think what we're seeing is essentially you know an escalation where we're seeing 2 groups on the one hand black lives matter protests a lot of the arrests that we're seeing there's actually been led by more kind of leftist predominantly white groups that are now clashing with vigilante groups so many of them have far right leadings we know from social media post that there are you know kind of pledges of allegiance to trump almost so trump supporters out what we saw in connote for instance over the weekend a rally there that then escalated and let to another shooting. and so it appears that they're responding to you know from star warning of chaos
8:06 am
and. her house was one of those people who responded to that who felt like he had to defend american cities portland or can ocean culbert or how is this case against you know cities descending into chaos and mayhem we have been looking at you know. video for months now of violence of looting and burning in american cities and president trump sees that video these images as an opportunity of course a campaign opportunity and you know she specifically in portland as well to connect with voters and to frame joe biden as the candidate of chaos and violence is this is a strategy that can succeed yes absolutely i mean trump has not been at any point very adamant in condemning any of these right wing groups for instance out of taking matters. through their own hands and one of the reasons that is is that he is not. now not very popular his favor ability ratings according to poll worth 31 percent
8:07 am
most polls have a medal in the low forty's but that's incredibly low for president and that's been true throughout even during a booming economy now his handling of the economy has been widely panned and that is also those are things that he cannot really run on right so he has to shift the narrative and not something that he's done quite successively really tapping into what richard nixon did in 68 by you know invoking images of burning cities and not one over white suburbanites strong appeal they turned out fearing for their safety and help when nixon the election i think that's what trump is betting on his well ok but the seriousness of the situation has been underscored by a democratic mayor the mayor of washington d.c. muriel bowzer has come out and said she's worried about the country quote descending into a race war is that perception shared outside of washington d.c. . well i think we can maybe put it like this you know we know that wartime
8:08 am
president usually get reelected now trump has pulled a lot of troops out of most american wars. so he's trying to paint a picture of a race war instead and i think that is what he just he's trying to do a lot of americans especially white americans now share the. view that the black lives matter supporters and protests are really maybe going a step too far so you know increasing division on that issue as well and trying maybe successfully manage bitters are a good to see you and thanks for coming in on this. downs on the other stories making the news at this hour a powerful typhoon is it to pound southern islands it's making its way up the korean peninsula typhoon my sock has got french the rains and dangerous winds of the thirty's in the okinawa region urging residents there to evacuate over concerns the winds could cause homes to collapse little. opposition leaders in belarus say they're launching

8:11 am
we form a new government we will accelerate the investigation and the result and that will be made public as soon as possible. that the public relations exercise was met with an angry response by many. of us the explosion was only the latest disaster blamed on the government a government that indeed is part of the economy is in deep recession the currency in freefall corruption and mismanagement have wrecked basic services to be a man has nearly. the government protesters subsided when the coronavirus hit only to flare up again after the blast. you're not one of the people you are a member of the ruling elite shouts one woman we do not recognize you. confronted with the rage pulsing through the capital the new prime minister beat a hasty retreat from the crowds chanting revolution. let's go

8:13 am
a sign that yeah when he was nominated by few political parties. force or confronted by a very high opposition forces from other political parties so it seems that you have but there are options to put new government as much as possible as you can in very short time bus all year of a short time is the key word there 11 months is certainly to long what it took last time listen yes because they're calling for for a revolution and we have president micro where you are today were today act going those calls for deep reform in lebanon what can he do to help out. first of all this is his 2nd visit to lebanon in less than a month he choose to start his visit yesterday to the lebanese security is and i can look on a collection of art but the old i don't work fatals same as what happened in the
