indeed of climate change. are so. much. one ideas do they have their future. dot com african american cities filmmaking just. click. in the last week wisconsin has become an american battleground where racial reckoning police brutality peaceful protesters and armed militia are all colliding in the middle of it all a president and his politics donald trump visited conneaut should today some welcomed him as the consoler in chief others told him to stay away donald trump

persona non-grata president non-grata i'm bring golf in berlin this is the day. we always have room for presidents to come to visit they could increase the love and respect for our country but. the timing on this we felt was not true that you can't stop the violence because for years he's fond of the violin writer share bryden same talking points and they share the same agenda for our nation fires are burning we have a president who fanned the flames rather the party the flames the pressure be ashamed of himself and i think the press exactly the media is what's feeling to sports now that even by i think that can no show at this present time needs peace and needs to heal and needs. people to know a lot wants to do that. also coming up almost one month

since the beirut blast lebanon is trying to put itself and its government back together with help from abroad the world is now invested the french are very invested in it i'm stepping up the pressure so we form a government so the reforms pos with the commitment of the government the president and the president of the politic on this is up. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all the around the world welcome we begin the day. with a visit by the u.s. president a visit that could hurt a visit that could help that depends on whom you ask donald trump was in can osha wisconsin today can osha has become a microcosm of america's turmoil intentions last week police shot a black man 7 times in the back leaving him paralyzed protests against police brutality erupted some of them became violent 2 protesters were shot dead by

a teenage vigilante and armed militia were seen patrolling the streets of the mayor of connection and wisconsin's governor both made public pleas with the president not to visit trump's presence and his rhetoric they say can only make matters worse well those requests fell on deaf ears today in canoga trump again attacked local leaders for problems that he sees as purely political plus or minus the bad apples you know she has been ravaged by anti police and anti american riots these are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror reckless far left politicians continue to push the destructive message that our nation and law enforcement are oppressive or racist you have. some bad apples we all know that and those will be taken care of through the system and nobody is going to be easy on him either and

you have people the joke doesn't they don't want to mention the word and he found out what he mentions it is a bad group of people very very bad very dangerous group of people told democrat everything's democrat all of these problems are democrats it is we don't want to say it but it is a president drum so i generally in can know she did not include a meeting with the family of the man shot by police jacob blake his uncle had this to say that this that she put up in anger were asking to raise up high and you need to come or go with the blacks a little bit some big changes that affect all the little jokes around us and we don't have any words for the argument all i ask is that he keep his disrespect his foul language far away from our family we need a president that's going to unite our country and take us in a different direction are there was some strong words there from the uncle of the late family let's take this now to our correspondents to find simons he's in canoga

wisconsin good afternoon to you stefan trump's visit very brief there in connote should did his visit did it make a difference on the ground where you walk. it made a difference in terms of that it brought of course from supporters and from protesters basically close together and they delivered so even if it's now fairly calm it calmed significantly down they delivered each other a shouting match and chanting black lives matter which were then responded with all lives matter which then resulted in more shouting and yelling like lives matter it seems to be that and that is maybe also something the president doesn't understand that a few people here do not understand less black lives no matter it's not the case that all lives matter so this is to come 1st then all life's matter having said that the president characterizing the last weekend can osha or today as ravaged by

domestic terrorism that's of course not the case that is absolutely not the case yes there were protests yes there was violence yeah yeah buildings and cars went up in flames water bottles were thrown against the police who answered that hansard then with tear gas and rubber bullets and pepper spray then of course there was also the shooting of a 17 year old teenager militia type vigilante of 2 protesters which the president in the past actually did only say well neutral or good things about nothing 2 words the black community he had no words of condolence no words of sympathy no way that people here the ones we talked to think that this president came here to unify this town or this country. to find the the white house despite what you just said there the white house said that this was

a visit to heal and unite critics of the president say that it looked more like a campaign stop by a president who's running for reelection what's your take. i would agree with this there is no such thing as the president coming anywhere doing anything right now which now which is not shrink glee and street connected to his campaign to his efforts to be reelected in november there's no such thing as not to be in symbolic policy in place of politics in places everything is a photo op everything this president as well as mr biden and the democratic campaign does is linked to the campaign is linked to being or having the chance of being elected november 3rd. is this the right the right thing to do in a time as america is itself or it's this city hertz well that's not for me to answer there's a lot of people who say like you know that we wished all this politics could go

away and we actually could focus on the on the problem and that is that america has to find a way to seoul systemic and structural racism but well i think we've got to wait for the syllable longer we've got about one minute jeff let me ask you we've heard the president compare police shootings to golfers choking on the golf course missing a golf but he's seem to suggest the teenager who killed 2 people with that assault rifle was acting in self defense is the president succeeding in flipping the script on the racial unrest in can know shit i don't think so and i actually have no words for what he sat there and this imbalance which is inherently was what he says is that i keep who is going to rationally and logically justify this or actually can follow this all i can't and that's just my personal opinion but i know that from the people i talk to here they're pretty much along

this line this makes. perfect sense for donald trump because he is trying to create fear and distrust division that's what they say and. i have to say how he says things what he said in the last few days regarding it's felt here as exactly that division it. defines iman's of the story for us in connection with constant stefan thank you. an amount of what the white house press secretary or sarah gets of the president tell us president trumps message has not changed that much over the past 4 years from charlottesville to konoha the president has been reluctant to condemn police brutality against black men he's also been reluctant to condemn violence and provocation from the far right most recently in portland oregon where a crude trumped care of band descended over the weekend adding fuel to the already

volatile city the fatal shooting of a trump supporter only amplified his calls for more law and order. my next guest tonight studies this kind of messaging especially in right wing media i'm happy to welcome. to the day ford teaches political science at the j.f.k. institute at the for university here in berlin court is going to have you on the show let me start by asking you what did you think of trump's visit to connote should wisconsin today. well i think they should be here 1st of all but i think your correspondent did a fantastic job of summarizing this and as a political scientist it's not really up to me to say you know i've talked to call this good or bad but i mean we are faced with the question of what is happening and why and it's really difficult to find an answer that doesn't end with because trump is trying to do something that ultimately benefits his campaign. you know trump's

language has been supportive of vigilantes supportive of armed militias the president has likened police shooting a black man in the back 7 times to a golfer choking on the golf course as we said who are these messages meant for. well i think it's really difficult for for some of your viewers probably sometimes even myself to really comprehend what the president is talking about every once in a while and i think in order to really understand what's going on and kind of his messaging it's important to consider who his base is but also the type of media that he's catering to so if your viewers were to follow a different channel say fox news but also certainly social media sites and a vast right wing kind of media ecosystem that exists in the us then they would find a very different version of what is going on in these cities they would find

a different version of crime statistics of threat scenarios and it's these things that trump is evoking and he's catering to he's very much tuned into these channels himself and this is the narrative that kind of unfolds so it's it's not necessarily enough to just follow what the president saying sometimes we need to consider what this entire kind of news ecosystem this alternative reality is kind of conjuring there's a very good point in the news diet that americans consume that's important as you pointed out the right wing media they they love the message that they hear from the president what about the mainstream media or the non political apolitical media if you will how have they been handling trump's messages. well i think mainstream journalism has done a much better job of late in covering trying so one of the one of the greatest

mistakes that was made early on was just to take you know what the president was saying at face value and kind of reporting it right to quote whatever trump and saying and oftentimes this fell into the trap of reporting on claims you know that had no basis in factual reality but by lending you know new york times headline to kind of something that the president was saying this sort of gave it credence and then that was echoed in other media sources and and you know took on a life on a its own and of late journalists have become better at calling things that the president is saying outwardly racist at you know and fact checking while speeches are ongoing and i would say that done a better job the question that remains is if the audience is still too so whether the people that are reading the new york times or maybe watching this show are actually the ones that are going to end up you know still making up their minds and november you know it's

a good point that you make if we can reach people who are not in these echo chambers when it comes to media consumption trump is we know it's not just an american phenomenon it has jumped across the atlantic here in germany last weekend here in berlin we saw this bizarre mix of neo nazis anti vacs or is conspiracy pushers even retired citizens all together to protest germany's coronavirus measures such as face massive social distancing now they even tried to storm the parliament building after they were told that donald trump was in berlin. watch and listen it's silent. will. rule through here on. earth.

now that was that was the speech that was made just moments before people actually trying to storm the parliament building here in berlin on saturday and how did donald trump how did he get to be the great unifier of the disaffected i mean he's an icon of conspiracy theories worldwide i mean protesters here in berlin they were even carrying the american flag with his photo on through. well i think one thing that's important to stress at this point is that you know these are still in germany isolated events from is very unpopular within the german population and we want to be careful not to kind of overstate the importance of these singular events that being said i think investigating this question what drives this is really important and again the media play a crucial role if you look at it's not just waving the american flag there was also

iconography pointing towards the conspiracy narrative of q enron. and other other such kind of conspiracy theories and all of this kind of makes a mix for people that are disaffected with the mainstream media narrative and they look towards people and icons that are outside of this that are deemed deviant by the mainstream by mainstream journalism and then singular you know heads of state a couple of years ago it might have been vladimir putin as well that you know speak truth to kind of you know the lying press a cetera. again and importance in these circles and are looked to for guidance so there's a connection here as well with people that are disaffected with mainstream media that don't trust what they see in. established legacy news outlets and people that are willing to believe kind of these alternative narratives that the president has also actively reinforced you know and it's important as you say it's

perception and it's proportion to that we have to keep in mind we're talking about these stories. joining us tonight with the j.f.k. institute here in berlin we appreciate your time and your insights thank you. to be here by. still to come fed up with masks sick and tired of social distancing pandemic that t.v. sets in across year for me it's like something really oppressive if i buy into in the shop if i go into metro ok but if i woke alone in the street no no doubt it's really too much. this was the scene today on the streets of beirut clashes erupted between anti-government protesters and police as french president emmanuel microland visited the lebanese capital this for the 2nd time since that devastating blast in

beirut's court today protesters use battering rams and threw stones acts of defiance against a heavily guarded parliament. where the french president today once again brought the promise of economic aid but this time he attached a stern warning that lebanon's leaders would face sanctions if they failed to get political reforms underway and he gave them a deadline of 3 months saying this could be a last chance to make real lasting change but it was you know said it all when france comes to support lebanon at its request as a friend without ever taking the place of its leaders when it sends its soldiers to help clear up and support the lebanese forces it's called a that when the president of france comes to make a statement because he the people's demand because the international community demands that it is called a demond of all that that that did exist on. our this bring in our correspondent

bus so really he joins me now from beirut also you to lebanon should be celebrating right now its interior instead you've got the country appearing it looks like it's falling apart you've got a devastated. capital economic crisis protests in parliament what is it like to be in lebanon tonight. this jewish and lebanon as you mentioned it's all mixed of all these crises but the visit of the president french french president michel was upsetting time in less than a month it means something to the lebanese they hope that we make some changes in a few minutes ago he finished his press conference after peace 2 days and long meetings with the political parties and lebanon he met them on the round table and then when those doctors in. one by one closed meetings and the i asked these

parties to deliver him papers that how they see the future of lebanon how they see the needed 3 forms for the coming lebanese for the next years or for the next eat up this main this and he made it clear in his press conference that he gave he get promises from these political parties that within 2 weeks only they would fund government and within 8 weeks the uniforms will leitch will go to tackle for the road map that he discussed with those political parties and he sat at my he much he added that tonight he give his confidence his trust to these politicians and it's. and he put it in their hands and it's up to them whether they take care of it all that thanks and with our rights with the with the. call do nation with the e.u. not only by france yeah i mean it's a blunt message isn't it i mean either you reform or you pay the price and he's giving a very short timeline some people would say i mean is it realistic do you think you

can get that kind of political change that quickly in lebanon. when we talk about financial sanctions sanctions that will hurt the political elites and the tenant then yes we can say that it's feasible to reach a fund the permission of a new government within 2 weeks especially that he got these 2 just promises and the same agent committing special plans and said that if they don't keep these promises then he will address it to the national community and was told told the international audience don't even use public what happened and why they didn't keep these promises so they are under heavy pressure that would be i believe that due to the formation of the new government in a pretty short time but these is the doc told me so mccaw not acting on the low could be bunny's platform or state but let's look behind that state maybe the messages home from these 2 days from the didn't reach people regent tomato it would

be in iraq he mentioned the untypically softer to not syrian these will lead us to see and to think that his visit to lebanon it's not only 40 bunnies given to solve the bodies crisis but also to indicate the presence of the europe that's in that specific in the east in the disarray in khost against a turkish influence and we have here from what we were definitely watching to see what comes out of that as well w.'s bustle of reporting tonight from beirut also thank you thank you. millions of peoples across europe are returning to school for the 1st time since the corona virus pandemic began in france students headed back to the classroom today with masks required for all 'd teachers and pupils over the age of 11 here and elsewhere in europe some parents in unions have expressed concern over a return to school when corona virus cases are on the rise again but governments

are insisting the move is necessary to protect children's education. young people in belgium are also returning to school and their parents are returning to work after the summer break and the number of new coven 1000 cases is currently on the decline there but the country has one of the highest corona related death rates here in europe nonetheless a growing number of belgians say that they're no longer willing to wait here too restrictive measures a study in the dutch speaking region of flanders where more than half the population lives shows that 70 percent of people no longer support these measures you know be used teri schultz has more. the covert 19 infection rate is declining in belgium but 1000 fatigue is growing so many months of isolation and so many masks i mean 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 shotton who represents the protest group virus madness says no one should have to follow restrictions except the most vulnerable how many people would die if we would not take any measures at all at the moment we don't know in fact you have no idea new research shows just one in 3 people surveyed in the dutch speaking part of belgium still supports the safety measures that's down from more than 80 percent in march when the pandemic 1st hit here university of ghent professor martin feldstein who led the study blames poor official communication for the dramatic drop in motivation he says it's been a wake up call for authorities to pay more attention to people state of mind i

don't think we have sufficiently been informing people on the consequences of their behavior for them to take a wise decision and now with the 1st of september comes the traditional way in belgium a return from holidays back to work and school it could be a toxic coronavirus cocktail we're quite worried leading belgian virologist stephen 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 is. group your for their situation and they can adapt their behavior but are people so sick of restrictions by now they won't follow them then believes most do comply but just think if i don't obey them to strictly because it's very difficult to do but i try anyway i feel much safer

wearing it re most 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. to a the day is done the cover say she continues online to see the more replied.

told on september 16th on. this is the w. news live from berlin tonight u.s. president donald trump in the can no show wisconsin and the. fear and anxiety after unrest in the aftermath of the police shooting of black president jacob critics say trump's visit could further inflame racial tensions will take you to also coming up anti-government protesters in beirut clashed with police at the

gates of lebanon's parliament accusing the new prime minister of being too close to the ruling elite and how does a sports crowd of a $100000.00 people socially distance well the organizers of the turkish formula one racing to stamboul are going to show us how in november. i'm bring it off it's good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump has arrived in wisconsin despite local leaders urging him to stay away they fear that his visit can further fuel racial tensions in the city now the trip comes in the wake of sometimes violent immigrating rivals of enabling this violent so he's also touring parts of the city that were damaged in last week's protests. we tensions have been high you can since the shooting of jacob blake

correspondent stephens simons told us more about the mood with the president in town well it's it is what it was all week there is this is a divided city this is this is on the one hand people who are actually for donald trump who are welcoming the president you say like it's a good thing that he is he's coming here and then there's of course a large crowd and good proportion of poor portion of the citizens here who say this is the worst thing to do to come here today and right behind me protesters b.l.m. protestors and trump supporters are delivering each other and giving each other like a shouting match and shouting competition almost and we have talked to a few citizens here and canal shots too few people so let's have a listen what they have to say. this is us they way yak of these come down from around reason he's not coming there to help he's coming down here for racism he's not for a few not for the country right now after he said to be the president he seemed to

relate to it's just not right the way he's putting things out there since he became president ma pay him. a lot of doors the raisons have opened up and i feel it's a it's a good time for him to come any time because he brings he wants to bring comfort and peace to america. and people are hurting right now over all this and i feel it's a good time for him because i support him. i think the president coming here might make it safer here lots of secret service sounds for the day south but i think tomorrow when he leaves it might make it worse so i have mixed feelings. i don't. want him to stay away from the tragedy here. but i'm glad he's willing to come and see us. it's just it's fascinating there you hear such different takes on the

same event today we know that the situation is very delicate in. the president there saying that the city has been the target of anti-police an anti-american riots with that in mind what do you expect the president to be able to do to ease the tensions in this city. well what is she supposed to do that to ease the tensions here he's meeting with law enforcement and as far as i'm aware and his father's people around me here are aware this is all he meeting with law enforcement officers national guard troops police federal law enforcement sheriff's department and so on and as he declared that he that this is what he wants to do trace them as being the saviors of peace and quiet and law and order him can notion now is that the truth that's the take of the president of course democrats have another take on the reality here and of course people have a different take on the reality as you just heard as we hear all the time if last

week all or all last week here in can no shot in any other place in the united states you hear the same thing there is really misunderstanding perhaps by the president what this is really all about again people he said like how can you come into this town do not even mention what has happened here in its complexity and its in in in its. effort to heal this country this is not going to happen by just visiting one side of the whole story so people are kind of upset here and that is exactly what will go down here potentially tonight you see this is a different crowd this is peaceful and all tonight with anger rising about his actions he can osha there might be some of the people come into town and we have a lot of violent and we will see maybe violent protests again it's different we know that the father of the jacob blake said that he was not willing to meet with the president because he didn't want to make his son's shooting political what is

your impression you cover washington politics is this visit by the president is it political is it like a campaign stop if you will. of course you nailed it i mean this is days no action by the president by the trumpet of ministration by the charm campaign but there's also no action by biden and joe biden by the press presence kind of the democrats and democratic campaign which is not political at the moment it's all about symbolism in politics and poor political symbolism if you like not one word is not called you laid it not one action is not calculated this is it the president is here say many many many people for one reason one reason only to actually stoke the fire to create more fear fear for the people for the voters who are at the fringe who are not clearly decided for him or against him his effort here many say is to create more fear and make those people therefore vote for him

as he is portraying himself as the new sheriff in town the man for law and order. our correspondents to fund simons in commercial wisconsin with the latest there on the visit us president on trumped up on thinking. now to the other side of the planet another case of political turmoil today anti-government protesters in lebanon clashed with police outside the gates of parliament in beirut they are angry about years of crisis and corruption under the country's ruling elite concerns echoed by french president emmanuel micro-loan as he visited the country today there are also doubts that the country's new prime minister can really reform lebanon. painting that anger against years of state corruption demonstrators launch a battering ram to force open the gates leading on to beirut's parliament square. anti-government protest has also remained undeterred as police fired tear gas to

disperse the crowds. a huge explosion at the city's pull out in august pushed the public over the edge off to ensuring the use of crisis and the collapse of the economy. discussions broke out as french president. visits lebanon to press for far reaching political reforms his trip also marks the national centenary french air force jets before him to fly past leaving a trail of color symbolizing the lebanese flag but not obscuring the tensions on the ground back home warns lebanon's leaders they risk sanctions if they fail to set the nation on a course of recovery. normally in lebanon it takes 6 months to form a government because i am back today perhaps because we are putting on pressure the 1st signs a positive i believe in fact that today is a 1st step but will that be

a follow up on it because it's too early to say but i am not naive i don't view it is a done deal so now i will weigh in so there's a government is formed and that the reforms on just moon. that goes through that he was a few if it is. what happens behind closed doors and lebanon's political life could soon be made public as those his press that demands for democracy transparency and prosperity. are in the state the story now to our correspondent bosler read he is in big groups close to where those protests have been taking place good evening to you basile so tell me what have you seen. it was obvious that the number of protesters tonight all of this evening wasn't as much as we used to witness in the previous days and weeks. was that it not so well at least the clashes took place. downtown but with me at the parliament by tomorrow the

designated prime minister will had a constitution and an argumentative consultation with the m.p. be blocks so demonstrations out of this of this to use near the parliament to protest to say that that is dictated prime minister was not is not you're presenting the donees people specially that the nomination or at the announcement of the crime and then the from the city came from the local much should it be a political witch the all the news printed by news that most of the distance took the seats inside the 17th of october to protest against these elite. considering the hostility there that you're describing towards this new prime minister i mean what are the realistic chances that he will be able to form a new government a successful government. seemed in according to the latest.

this evening that their trash president michael had meetings with the president of of the. political blocs and parties it was quite sure according to the introduction have promptly been nice. to dish and the formation of the government will not take as much as used to witness what we witnessed in the past that he did kate's especially in the past 6 years some of the government took 11 months to be before and before i'm sorry. now it seems that these government will beat it within a few weeks according to the french pressure. by president president michel and as well as this government will take that heat coating your response that's been us by the international community on the citizen as well all right our correspondent. it's not an easy task by the way. to be made yes definitely not an easy task for

anyone at the moment they're in love and not our very own bustle of reading with the latest from beirut basile thank you here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world riot police who have detained at least 18 university students protesting against authoritarian president alexander lukashenko and students were marching through the capital minsk on the 1st day of the academic year calling of the president to quit one rights group has reported that some students were beaten by police scotland is to set out plans for a new independence referendum nicholas sturgeon scotland's probably dependence leader has argued that scots need another chance to vote on their relationship with britain after bragg's it most voted to remain in the european union in the last referendum. germany's latest unemployment figures paint a mixed picture there are half a 1000000 more people at work now than there were this time last year but the monthly unemployment rate that is holding relatively steady putting millions of
