a top issue in this election campaign the president says he will protect americans while his challenger joe biden accuses them of stoking the violence. this was the scene in can osha just one week ago protesters clashed with police and set fire to cars and buildings as anger boiled over following the police shooting of jacob blake on august 23rd. the shooting triggered 3 nights of violent clashes in connote a nationwide protests video also emerged showing armed vigilante groups in the city with police appearing to support them last tuesday 2 of the protesters were shot dead and a 3rd one wounded the suspect a white vigilante. the 17 year old was caught on camera shortly before the attack armed with a semiautomatic rifle he tries to approach the police who merely tell him to leave

he's now been charged with homicide local authorities called in the national guard and imposed a nighttime curfew to regain control the unrest surrounding and he races in protest has taken center stage in the campaign for november's presidential election with donald trump promising to restore law and order given the tensions on community leaders have asked the president not to visit. try to try them all the. time and that's not the best. peaceful protests are still continuing every day in connection with some protesters leaving no doubt about their thoughts on the presidential visit. or president trump says he's the candidate best capable of keeping americans safe but democrats disagree and criticize his repeated use of aggressive language he was tackled on that issue in an interview on fox news have

to be aggressive. because i'm like standing here in a sea of incompetent people stupid people and violent people very violent that's the kind of language stupid you know that a lot of women don't like so they could well we're all we were in the white house i say she's ok so i'm standing here in a sea of people and we need law and order in this country and women see that with me you never going to have law and order with. the dolls been looking into this going to peter i see again if president trump has been framing joe biden as the candidate of chaos and violence to just be a strategy that will see him pull ahead in the polls and eventually went well i think it's frankly a special you know coming back in may be when reelection. the reality is that trumps approval ratings are very low they've been throughout his presidency but are dipping have dipped even further especially considering his handling of the krona crisis which been widely panned also his handling of the economy as you know

he met with increasing greatest criticism so trump really needs to change the narrative and it looks like what he's doing is trying to take a page out of the you know nixon 68 campaign book where richard nixon was was stoking fear emmet you know a period of great civil unrest student protests civil rights movement a lot of violence was a successful strategy was a very successful strategy exactly. really needs to win back the suppers these were special place i can so they knew michigan and wisconsin that helped put put him over the top and put him in the white house. and you know that in 20182020 we've seen the suburbs tilting increasingly towards the democrats a lot of especially women voters have been very turned off by trying to find a tour reddick and so trump needs to stick to that strategy essentially to have any hopes of winning back the suburbs and it appears to be working somewhat support for

black lives matter protests are dropping. more than a 20 point drop not just among republicans but also in the white suburban voters so it does appear to work ok those are big supporters would be along the white suburban voters let's take a look now and listen to what joe biden has been saying about. this president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he can't stop the violence because for years he's fallen on it you know he may believe malvina words law and order makes him strong. but it is fair you to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is. so what is in peter's job i'm effectively saying here is that president trump is in control of the counter protesters a good number of whom are of course armed and support him. biden is senator also in

that speech i think said president trump has made america a more dangerous place you know but is trying to essentially also say you know all of this is happening on trump's watch not just the pandemic but also the racial unrest that we're witnessing right now and so he has also had that protest or that rally do you really feel safer under donald trump. we know that a lot of these right wing counter protests a lot of them are have more nationalist right wing leanings that they are ardent from supporters trump has not been particularly good if at all you know condemning these groups we saw that not just in can no show not just in portland but also 2017 in charlottesville with the big right wing rally that led to the death of a. of a counter protester where trump ultimately said you know there were very fine people on both sides that's a response that he's been very much criticized for that biden said effectively was his reason to get into the campaign in the 1st place and biden instead is running

on the strategy of you know he wants unite the country want to heal the wounds that have grown deeper over the past 4 years that was also very much the message that's also an interesting convention president is stayed out of everything up until now he's this is this position as as the city's burned he was criticized for letting them burn yeah yeah you know exactly mean also because a lot of these cities are run by democrats and so you is that this helps or right if this is happening on democrats watch obviously that proves his point. the problem 'd is you know a majority of americans approve of biden's message we saw that in polling coming out of the convention they disapprove of the republican message at the end of the day the ultimate lead that's not what's going to decide the election most likely it is what is happening in the suburbs if this message of stoking fears in the suburbs will help you know trump regain those voters that means that biden is looking

a very uphill battle going to peter to see if there is so much for that thank you. let's get your brief down some of the other stories making the news today a powerful typhoon has had japan's southern islands and is making its way up the korean peninsula now typhoon mazen has brought frenzel rains and dangerous winds authorities in the open our region averred residents to evacuate. opposition leaders in belarus say they're launching a new political party in an online video they announced a new party called them this which means together will now be getting voters on to the polls their protests in belarus have been continuing for weeks are there a disputed election gave longtime president the shango another term in office. resumes video conferencing services one of the biggest winners in the coronavirus pandemic reporting a huge jump in revenue in the last quarter to 6 163000000 dollars that's as

a 11000000 has one of the highest corona related death rates in europe nonetheless a growing number of belgians say they are unwilling to it here too restrictive measures a study in the dutch speaking region of flanders it's home to about. half. 70 percent of people no longer support the. results as this. the cove of 19 infection rate is declining in belgium but kovac 19 fatigue is growing so many months of isolation so many masks for me it's like something really oppressive t.-bo who doesn't want to give his last name despises social distancing and defies the rule to wear a mask in downtown brussels if i. if i go into metro ok but if i walk alone in the street no no that is really too much and tivo is hardly alone in his opposition michael for stratton who represents the protest group virus madness says

vang says experts are stealing for a potential september surge he nonetheless agrees people should be given more information about. actions and consequences and then more autonomy so people can have some freedom to choose what they think use group for their situation and they can adapt their behavior but are people so sick of restrictions by now they won't follow them believes most do comply but perfect if i don't obey them too strictly because it's very difficult to do but i try anyway they come in i feel much safer wearing it we must do it all together but skepticism is clearly growing in recent days open letters have been published in belgian media signed by hundreds of experts including doctors scientists and researchers suggesting the strict measures should be reviewed to see if they're stopping the virus or just the vitality of

everyday life. this is date of illness still to come on our program we look at how a bird harvest is giving new meaning to all photos from colonial times. but 1st friends. but 1st french president among all micron is in the lebanese capital beirut for his 2nd visit since huge explosions devastated the city 4 weeks ago because it marks lebanon's creation 100 years ago after 4 centuries of domination by the ottoman empire is pressing for sweeping reforms to tackle an economy in tatters and sectarian tensions here arrived shortly after the lebanese president asked the country's former ambassador to berlin to form a new government alarm that has the backing of most political parties but what do the people think about. our son after being designated prime minister mr for

a deed took to the streets of beirut it was a brave move. because much of the lebanese capital was reduced to rubble after thousands of tons of unstable chemicals exploded in the harbor nearly 4 weeks ago. the blast killed more than 200 people and destroyed what little was left of some people's faith in the government. had come to restore some of that trust. we will work hand in hand to rebuild what was destroyed. now. and then once 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 in 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 yet to commit if the government protestors subsided when the coronavirus hits only to flare up again after the blast. i mean how do i know 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 straight to beirut now d.w. correspondent basile a really good day to you we just saw there on your new prime minister getting a very angry response where you are in beirut given the situation he's in right now can he form a stable government. this is the main challenging task for the new designated prime

minister since ever since many of his left last 3 decades the main challenging question you got for that face any prime minister is how to form a new government especially with all these different sects and different political parties he promised that he would form a government made of experts which means to the point of distraction with the trench initiative so this is the main question but most of the current major political parties and 6 to present the sectarian parties and lebanon announce and does ignite. as a prime minister. present trawlers in beirut of course today marking a 100 years of independence from ottoman rule and he's going these calls for political reform but what can he do. in his in his 2nd visit in less

than a mont to beirut is going to meet the political parties and he's going to urge them to for your government to break its quick and quick way as previous one that was somewhat it took 11 months to be formed so he's pushing harder to form a new government in a very short time and to implement the reforms one of the main economy kwan's which made old beast economy situation and falling state. and so on the top of that it's the electricity sector which goes to do you mean he's actually i don't 50 percent of the national debt. looking at the situation basile or what what do the people expect from france do they think that the french leader that the country of france can help lebanon get back on these. there bet on that specially that the relation by that relation between lebanon and france back to at the very long time it's a historical one and they called france the god mother this is the story can issue

that's why they count on prance under my arm off in search to put out depression on the political elites and rulers and a bit on to go forward into reforms and distress yesterday when he met some of these protesters that he would urge and he would continue pushing forward to form a government made of experts with no link of any one of them with corruption so sure that one talk about corruption in lebanon we talked about tons of fights and cases related to corruption issues ok that is a big issue for the country right now we'll see how this this all goes about thanks so much that they were thank you. apologists are warning that the world's largest breeding colony of african penguins is a risk to see ships revealing your their habitat off the coast of south africa or spilling oil into the ocean due to cost cutting measures the government shipping companies insisted those practices are in fact safe. i'll go

inside africa is a spectacular migration route where a ray of sea life for ages and breeds is also home to around half the global population of endangered african penguins. but in recent years ships have been refusing me up by now local environmental tests have raised the alarm. we've got to figure out why back to. the night here at the border of the red. bull in the. world are we on the very purpose of the war reading for the meal after and that's one thing. bunkering the practice of refueling one ship from another in the open sea started here in 2016 it saves time and makes money only $3.00

it's also about a type of representation where people are pictures so that their humanity is not the 1st thing that you encounter when you look at their pictures and for me the. projects all my projects are about kind of bringing this humanity back. her latest project is about travel contrast in societies perceptions of migrants and refugees with those of more privileged travelers. the paintings are made on pages from a famous european travel account arabian sands by wilfred that's it. for me wilfrid that's it your symbolizes kind of everything i hate. and and this is the kind of a big thing to say but if like he is and aristocratic british
