democratically elected president of the roof's the us called his reelection fraudulent and condemned him for using force to silence his own people from europe's last dictator to the us president sounding like america's 1st yesterday for the 1st time in living memory a u.s. president signaled just like a dictator if he loses the election in november he cannot promise to recognize or obey the will of the people. in berlin this is the day. we hear today for a peaceful transfer of power after the election see what happens you know that has been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the bell it's a disaster there won't be a transfer or frankly the continuation of the ballots that it controls you know it

and you know knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else what are the 3. says the most the rational thing. also coming up the human cost of seeking asylum in the united states a story of love death and the desperate attempt to be long on the now side or even been here for 20 years. because there isn't that green card or citizenship khan a passport that says i am an american. of there instead of being in america. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah change of the folk to mel aimed at u.s. president. there were jeers and boos as well on thursday when trump visited the casket of the late. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg the chance just like

even more disturbing a reporter asked trump if he were to lose the election in november would he commit to a peaceful transfer of power the president refused to commit. for the 1st time in living memory a u.s. president has gone on record refusing to respect the will of the voters and implying that his departure from office may not be peaceful as shocking as trump's refusal was the response by republican lawmakers was just as shockingly muted sen mitt romney of utah was the only republican to tweet a rebuke of the president and without criticizing president trump directly the most powerful senator majority leader mitch mcconnell weighed in today now he tweeted this the winner of the november 3rd election will be inaugurated on january 20th there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every 4 years since 7092 with

a response from democrats it has been noticeably louder and sharper. and so. the answer to it all the antidote to almost every ailment that i have named is that vote and so right now our point is it's no use our. orchestrating one thing or another when what really matters in terms of peaceful transfer of power is that people vote and that their vote is counted as cast. u.s. president trump won the election in 26 to you know promised to get tough on illegal immigration many of his promises is he has not kept just think of the wall along the mexico u.s. border that mexico was supposed to finance but he did keep his word by giving officials at ice immigration and customs enforcement the freedom to carry out their

duties with no exceptions and that policy banning any case by case considerations that policy has come with tremendous human cost w.'s all over salad reports on one man who lost the love of his life trying to belong to the country he lots. when a drizzle camaro arrives on the soccer field he knows it could be one of his last met us on american soil. he came here 20 years ago as a young boy from guinea west africa the late friends built a life but he could be deported back to africa any time soon. it's not time. in some ways i feel like i'm an outsider even been here for 20 years you know all of a simulated to the culture and language customs you name it the however because

there isn't that green color or citizenship connel passport last says i am an american i feel like i'm outside of there instead of being an american. idris or lives in pueblo a small town in colorado a couple he met a church has offered him a place to stay they know his future is anything but certain. we in 2007 idris a sold a small amount of cocaine and was caught this mistake through his life into uncertainty. he had to report to the immigration authority ice build a life on the job. until i called him in here. for your nephew or stevenson and i came in there with 4 new officers that i have never seen before and the guy that i typically saw who are reassured me. that it was just another day. in the lobby i was put in handcuffs and then when we

says the trouble administration is reckless in its deportation policies why. he got entangled for one case in the criminal justice system and it completely destroyed his ability to obtain status here regardless of the fact that he's done all of these amazing things with his life and he's been sucked into this sort of kafka esque bureaucracy right where the goal is to crush people through the process the process of deportation. was not crushed by that process but while in detention his wife committed suicide waiting for his release it says he is fighting for her legacy and for himself he is one of hundreds of thousands living in limbo. another story polarizing opinions in the u.s.

is that taylor she was shot 6 times and killed in a raid by police in louisville kentucky and now the warrior for her family has slammed the grand jury investigating this shooting calling the probe a sham a grand jury in kentucky recommended a minor felony charge against one of the 3 officers for shots that hit a neighboring apartment it did not recommend a murder charge for any of the officers the grand jury decision sparked protests in the u.s. a state of emergency was declared in louisville kentucky 2 police officers were shot and injured their own when state taylor's relatives and activists are calling for the 3 police officers who are all white to be charged with murder or manslaughter. corresponded to define simons is in louisville kentucky tonight. we've got a nother story in the u.s.

about the police african-americans and accusations of an unfair justice system. yeah rights and i can tell you the only thing subsiding here is the shock about the decision of the grand jury and the attorney general yesterday saying that. basically none of the 3 officers involved in the shooting of brianna taylor are charged with anything and that was 1st of course yesterday as it was some shock here of the people of the african-american community here in the community in lou will kentucky it all which then transferred very wary and of. itself in in anger and in frustration and in outrage and that ouster outrage is still very much alive even today 2nd day 2nd night possibly of more violent protests in louisville we talked to a few people about how they feel about what happened yesterday and what they expect

for the day and how about we listen into that. here you have to pray. and pray for the poor souls. i mean what happened yesterday was horrible but i feel like we've kind of known that something bad is going to happen you're not going to put the whole city in a state of emergency if it's good news so i'm not going to say that a lot of people were really surprised but it was still a slap in the face protesting and tell their strange change in the court system change in the justice system. starts getting served. no no no turning back at this point. to step on she said it's people here are it's a sorry no go ahead. i want to say they have it people people here are really adamant about about keeping this fight and driving this fight forward for them it

is a and i use this terminology lending it from them taking their terminology the. fight a fight for justice which they don't seem to get at least that's what they think and what they see and take from the decision as it was made by the attorney general yesterday the attorney general of kentucky he is a republican and he is a black man has that been a mitigating factor in decide all stephon. no not at all. sure that i mean he's definitely not the most popular person right now in the african-american community and in a with those people who are really trying to one way or another trying to a push their cause forward and that is really against police brutality and against racial bias in the justice system for them he's as guilty as charged and again

there is absolutely no way that anybody here understands how he could come to a decision like this or and their way it's getting a little bit more complicated he had to ask questions to the grand jury he had to put a case in front of the grand jury and that is the limit for a grand jury to decide on but apparently he didn't even come forward with anything remotely at least that's the speculation he have meant by many anything remotely as charging or or suggesting that those 3 offices were in any way responsible for the death of beyond a tailor so yeah that is a tough pill to swallow here for a lot of people in her staff and you have covered stories similar to this george floyd killing in minneapolis the shooting of jacob blake in conversion wisconsin and and now this the shooting death when you when you compare all of these stories what stands out about this story here the briana taylor story.

i think for the real attender story and so we need to remember that this is she worse killed before george floyd george floyd yes blew the lid of everything. we all witnessed this we talked about at the time many many times and and i was myself standing on the streets of minneapolis and was in literally in shock and all of what happened there what paradigm change or shift happened there now brianna taylor's protests were on go and before that actually people here are protesting for $120.00 days for the last 3 months almost every day it's a little bit under the radar but they're absolutely determined to not let this go to not let this go this is actually something which you can attest to protesters in can osha in minneapolis in anywhere around the united states definitely here in louisville kentucky they will not they will not let this go it will go on and on

and on it will simmer down maybe a little bit but then it will again it's not going away do you see the devaney you see these major stories impacting the election next month i mean do you get the impression that african-americans then are galvanized and will turn out in greater numbers on the lection day. i would i'm tempted to say yes i think i think i want to be. be on the side of caution here i think it will have an impact i think the african-american vote will be in numbers bigger than it was in 2016 for example but i do not i'm not really sure how to assess it definitively and how much of this specific topic will drive ever get americans to the to the polls i would think and many many experts say yes of course is will be a driving factor that this is the case but i'm also a little bit cautious about this because there's many many other issues.

that's live television for you there's stuff on stuff i saw in stephanie's in louisville kentucky stephanie as always thank you. where there have been more than 16000 new coronavirus cases in just the past day in france the soaring infection rate in the country has also seen hospitalizations from 1000 reach a high not seen since early june and this is prompted the french government to introduce extra restrictive measures to contain the virus mainly in larger cities bars will either have restricted hours or closed completely gyms will shut down and no more than 10 people will be allowed to gather in public places but the government says it's determined to avoid another walk down given the severe social and economic consequences. that's what the government says let's take this now to

paris to reporter john lawrence and gets a huge on the mean how close in france are we tonight to a new nationwide lockdown. well the whole point of the measures that the government just announced is to avoid and other economically catastrophic lock down the government furlough schemes are coming to an end here is in some other countries and the unemployment figures are starting to rise very warningly and france is facing a huge economic catastrophe because of its 1st lockdown so it really wants to avoid another one and it's hoping that these new restrictions are going to prevent this rise getting out of hand and prevent from to having to go into a 2nd lockdown situation how much faith is there among the public that these targeted and localized to these many lock downs if you will that they will be

effective. well as a good question i haven't seen any. opinion polls on these very recent announcements but looking over the last few months every new restriction has been extremely computer you know when you ask people. should you prevent people getting so yes you know should be you prevent yes should you prevent she didn't close things down yes and the compulsory wearing a face mask to c.c.'s which was the really took off in a big way in france very very popular and it's interesting to see though that some of the some cities that have been targeted by these new measures it's a little bit of kit that they're specially in not saying not say it's been singled out paris is telling them not say we who has a traditional rivalry you are a real problem city you know you copious it you coded numbers a really bad and we're going to have to close your balls all together for 2 weeks

you know then just not us is being treated in the same way and. that and and to do american our say saying you know this is just really do need to consult me and this is unjustified so there is a little bit of unhappiness there yes and we know that the number of new infections in france just as we're seeing in the u.k. and in spain the numbers are alarmingly high the question then is will the number of new hospitalizations also increase and if we see that rise can the french healthcare system can it cope with that kind of search. well i think we've seen. 783 new hospital admissions in the whole of france over the last 24 hours these. are already rising and i think and the government will be making this in an ounce when these announcements and these taking these new measures if you will also see

hospital admissions increase and this had to be said we are nowhere near that catastrophic levels that we saw in france in the not too april and cast your mind back to 2 those months the hospitals in eastern france and even in difference even in the paris region who are completely overwhelmed you know full weeks 3 weeks things were really really really out of hand and we're a long way from that situation now even in drug program city must say 30 percent believe the decoded that capacity is being used at the moment so we're a long way from that sort of. repeat potential catastrophe let's hope then that these targeted and localized restrictions let's hope that they do the job at least until there is a vaccine sometime next year we hope reporter john lawrence and joining us tonight with the latest on the situation in france john thank you.

in the western and german state of north rhine-westphalia investigators say they discovered 16 new instances of xenophobia among police officers now that's in addition to the 100 state police officers already accused of spreading racist or extreme right wing views but accusations of such behavior among police officers they are not confined just one driven state our next report comes to his tonight from the eastern state of saxony. 009 maya always wanted to be a police man he was idealistic and wanted to stand up for what's right. but things did not go to plan during his police training in leipsic he was exposed to racist and far right language. if we had lunch together and talk turned to politics a colleague would say i'd rather vote for the nazis than the greens my jaw dropped

i was shocked but for a lot of the others it was as if we were just talking about the weather. and this type of talk was not confined to zoo months fellow recruits he also heard it from his police instructors. in western strainers said we need to learn to shoot straight because there are so many refugees coming to germany of course i find that blatantly racist and completely inappropriate coming from a police officer. and there was more shocking language in the trainees social media chatter i'm. not excusing the use an example of what's happening with from cop does not and we hate all africans but design a phobic racist statement that i absolutely reject. the man decided to pull out of his police training we contacted the police authority in saxony they sent an email dismissing the allegations. no evidence has been established of

unprofessional behavior relating to these police officers no indications of continuing racist or anti semitic beliefs have come to light in disciplinary proceedings or other internal appraisals. recent incidents in north rhine-westphalia do however point to the existence of far right attitudes within the police $29.00 offices that were suspended after they circulated hate speech against foreigners on social media. the police trade union rejects any suggestion that far right beliefs have become institutional. important i hope i don't think it's a problem for the german police as a whole police officers by their nature are conservative that doesn't make them right wing my colleagues and i stand up for order in justice i don't believe there is any problem of structural extremism even if there are isolated instances.

not by tomorrow also denies that the exposure of far right groups within the police erodes public confidence in officialdom. i don't think public trust has fundamentally declined confidence may have cracked a little but it will recover of the next few months. no my ad doesn't see it that way he believes the biggest problem within the police is the failure to recognize that change is required. i think there is no culture of learning from previous mistakes it's a basic problem that when mistakes are made everyone agrees to sweep things on to cop it rather than making so the same mistakes are not repeated bookish. on top at most is if you don't notice your. best form of police recruit the overriding obstacle to institutional reform is a misguided collective spirit. well the day is almost done but the

conversation it continues online you'll find just on twitter either news you can follow me at brant goff t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you than ever.
