trump promising to restore law and order given the tensions on community leaders of asked the president not to visit this committee is trying to trying to move the governor at this point time and that's not the best idea. peaceful protests are still continuing every day can i share with some protesters leaving no doubt about their thoughts on the presidential visit. president says he and not joe biden is capable of keeping americans safe but democrats disagreed criticize his repeated use of aggressive language he was confronted on this very issue in an interview with 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 that 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
11:04 am
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. dolls been looking into this good morning to you peter i see again it's president trump has been framing joe biden as the candidate of chaos and violence to just be a strategy that will see him pull out in the polls and eventually went well i think it's frankly especially you know coming back in maybe 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 its 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 joking fear mitt you know
11:05 am
a period of great civil unrest student protests civil rights movement a lot of violence was a successful start and there was a very successful strategy exactly. really needs to win back the suppers these were is special place i can so they knew michigan and wisconsin that helped him 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 trump's inflammatory rhetoric 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 of below the white suburban voters let's take a look now and listen to what joe biden has been saying about. this president
11:06 am
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 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 joe biden affectively saying here that the president trumpets and control of the counter protesters a good number of whom are of course armed and support him yeah byte in the senate also not 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 adopt protests or rally do you really feel safer under donald trump. we know that
11:07 am
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 know she 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 out of growing deeper over the past 4 years that was also very much the message. engine president stayed out of everything up until now he's this is this position as the city's burned he was criticized for letting them burn yeah yeah no exactly mean
11:08 am
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 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 regained those voters that means that biden is looking a very uphill battle going peter good to see it thanks so much for that thank you let's get your brief down some of the other stories making news today a powerful typhoon has hit japan southern islands it's making its way now up the korean peninsula thai food maize. bringing presell rains and dangerous winds authorities in the okinawa region averred residents there to evacuate. the

candy 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 we got for the trace 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 short a government made of experts which means to the point of destruction with the trench initiative so this is the main question but most of the current major political parties and 6 were to present the sectarian parties and there were none announced and does it need. as a prime minister. present draws 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 is going to urge them to for your government to break its quick and quick way as previous wanda some what 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 the old beast economy situation and falling state. and so on the top of that it's the electricity sector which goes to the but he's actually i don't 50 percent of the national debt. looking at the situation 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. they bet on that specially that the relation
11:14 am
but it's a relation between lebanon and france back to at the very long time it's historical one and they called france the god mother this is how city study can issue that's why they count on france off themselves to put out depression on the political elites and rulers and a bit on to go forward into the forms and he stressed 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 souls thanks so much for that from beirut thank you. before we go to keep up sensation b.t.s. have become the 1st korean acting debut at number one in the u.s. singles charts the boy band single dynamite well it's a 1st song entirely in english notch 33000000 screens the 1000 sales in its 1st
