a black father paralyzed biden's approach was deliberately measured in contrast to president donald trump's more confrontational visit to 2 days earlier. at conneaut is grace through from church democratic presidential hopeful joe biden met with local politicians and business owners as well as members of law enforcement his stated goal to try to unify this fractured community after the police shooting of jacob blake that sparked days of protests before arriving at the church biden and blake talked on the phone. as i got off the airplane. had an opportunity to spend some time with jacob on the phone he's out of i.c.u. we spoke for about 15 minutes he talked about how nothing was going to defeat him. how were they want to go to not he was not going to give up

by then went on to the level of finley veiled accusation of president donald trump book for encouraging race based hatred i thought you could defeat hate. it only hides only hives and when someone in authority breathes oxygen out of that rock. it legitimizes most folks to come on. didn't stop here comes just 2 days after trump says that it can. mean contracts to bud in the trump did not meet with blakers family but rather threw his support behind law enforcement down some protesters as domestic terrorists well but now it's been widely supportive of the black laws matter protests he made a point of condemning looting and violence none of it justifies through the burning or anything else so regardless how angry you are if you lutie you burn you should be held accountable as someone who does anything else period. a small group of

protesters was also on hand to welcome but aside from blocking traffic there were no signs of. well let's bring in dave with us in who's standing by for us in washington d.c. so joe biden met with the family of jacob blake and spoke with them on the phone tell us more about that meeting. yeah pablo a very different meeting them that we saw when trump went to konoha shah earlier this week the bidens did meet with the family privately jacob leg joined on the phone from his hospital bed biden says the jayco blake spoke about how nothing would defeat him and even if he never walked again that he would never give up and that was certainly an emotional conversation the family's attorney also released a statement about the visit thing the blake family felt that joe biden and his wife jill has extended a sense of humanity during their visit that there was empathy and understanding

there this of course is in sharp contrast to trump's visit earlier this week he did not meet with the family he did not talk about social justice he didn't even mention jacob blake's name pablo certainly a very different kind for them why was it important for joe biden to go to a no show on thursday i'll be. yeah there are several reasons that he ought to have made this trip he may have been looking to differentiate his response to how the current president is handling the protests biden in a community meeting as you mentioned at a local church earlier praise the black lives matter movement but he also said that any kind of violence would not be tolerated now trump for his part fully focused on the pockets of violence earlier this week he has not addressed the social injustice that's causing the protests in and across the country and of course republicans have been attacking joe biden for not being visible that he's hiding in his basement this is only his 3rd trip in the pandemic of course given that there is

a covert 1000 outbreak in travel has been restricted but this is really allowed trump to dictate the conversation and focus it on the pockets of violence as opposed to other major major issues that the nation is grappling with right now like the pandemic and the struggling economy so biden definitely wants to drive home his own message that these difficulties are being faced under a trump administration pablo all of this of course happening under the umbrella of an election campaign and election day is 2 months away 4 years ago when hillary clinton was running for the nation's highest office she did not go to wisconsin once and she went on to lose by less than a percentage point to tromp it's a battleground state and the democrats do not want a repeat of that of 2016. correspondent in washington d.c. with some kind somewhat for that update. now let's have a look at some other stories making news around the world the mayor of rochester new york has suspended 7 police officers involved in the suffocation of an unarmed

those noise in force and how frequently that violated some of the worst offenders topping this list and not a surprise north korea north or italian regime or countries like yemen and syria web workers are more likely to face exploitation but what's quite striking is that the indexes find this year that many of the asian manufacturing giants have seen an increase in both the severity and the frequency of violations so bangladesh and india have now been categorized as extreme risk for the 1st time with. analysts saying this is you we can enforce them and have also been in abuses in vietnam cambodia china and indonesia so you know the impact of the the coronavirus pandemic is evident yes absolutely and there are several factors at play here so in the one hand we see that travel restrictions and other measures in place to cut the coronavirus have made it more difficult for companies to carry out or dates to ensure that fair working conditions are being enforced but the big issue is the

the clothing industry is rebounding orders are going up again but this is a longer term problem some countries have bought in specific legislation so the u.k. and australia among others to force companies to be more transparent about their supply chains and set up the steps that they are taking to combat modern day slavery let's not forget this is a global problem it's not limited to countries that are often referred to as developing countries or economies we've also had allegations of modern day slavery in countries that u.k. in the us and ultimately comes down to the demand for fast fashion at low prices and that's something that would need to change katie stevens thank you so much for the. a reminder of the top story this hour russia has rejected claims that it was behind the alleged poisoning of opposition leader alexei navalny on wednesday germany said it has proof that it got me was poisoned with a nerve agent no feature. on pablo phony abs and this is
