1:04 pm
during jones is standing by dorian how seo rescue operation going at this point. well after a very long and difficult night rescue workers are still continuing to work for the rubble of these collapsed buildings is a very painstaking labor intensive job heavy equipment brayley used because of the fear they could trigger further collapses of these buildings many times the rescue workers are using their bare hands digging boring away for into the rubble to pull out survivors and those efforts are being met with success over 100 people have so far been rescued from these concrete tombs but those efforts are being. given the fact that they know they are racing against time to say 9 buildings have so far been cleared but there are still many more to go into those problems of those efforts the risk of aftershocks hundreds of aftershocks have hit is mia and further aftershocks are expected this brings the risk of bringing further damage to
1:05 pm
buildings already weakened by the friday's quake adding to fear of an already traumatized population and the turkish seismology is warning that these aftershocks could continue for another 15 days 15 days. turkey has seen its share of earthquakes after all the country sits on a fault line so why are there so many buildings still at this point they aren't prove. well that is a question many people here are asking in fact the leading turkey seismologist speaking on t.v. last night professor john said it is only the pole that buried in these buildings he says you never see the rich people being dragged out of the rubble of their homes and this is putting great focus on the structural integrity of turkish buildings now after the $999.00 earthquake in the provincial city of khost the stamboul in which 17000 people died a strict building codes have been in force
1:06 pm
a program of strengthening buildings across the country but as the images of this quake on the lines there are still a lot of work to be done during in the 30 seconds we have left the greece was also affected by this earthquake both greece and turkey have been at odds over the eastern mediterranean lately could this shared experience help bring them closer again. well in the 1999 earthquake of the off them off that you did see a major approach between the 2 countries but the leaders today are very different to then and they have very much different agendas so if you're expecting any major breakthrough but what we have seen from the war but sort of an exchange in the office of the of this earthquake is a possible break in the escalating tensions that could give an opportunity for diplomatic efforts to remove the risk of a possible confrontation between the 2 countries that dorian jones for instance stone ball for us thank you so much story and. police in france have arrested

1:08 pm
a nearby cafe but died of her injuries so i doubt it so what characterizes the monet was her smile that's what she's going to leave to her children and what she's going to leave behind for her friends and for all the people of nice is that. her last words to paramedics where tell my children i love them. the owner of the cafe where somebody died has urged dialogue as religious tensions boil over across france. says he my message is clear it's now or never. muslims in france and europe need to stand up to put a stop to all of this. so this is a message of humanity and it needs to come from muslims themselves. the suspect was a 21 year old man from china zia brahim. his family don't recognize the attacker as
1:09 pm
their son brother cousin. or not who would demand the head see i know my son well he's incapable of even killing a chicken i think about that and sinful lead this is the man i am only a shocked we're all against terrorism and feel dishonored by these acts back in nice the community is still reeling from the attack on the not sure church its priest it's a terror and that it would be defined by what unfolded here. is somebody we will wash the blood off this church to clothe it again in the message that god is alive. to say that we are greater than that we are stronger than hate. it is that strength of faith and inhumanity that he hopes will aid nice as it recovers from tragedy. that's briefly highlight now some other

1:12 pm
not backing him at all and the people in ivory coast they are just hoping that this country is not going to back to a situation where it was in 2010 when electro violence led to 3000 people dead. to the u.s. now where the final days of campaigning are gathering paces duck president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden wage a fierce battle for votes in midwestern states early voter turnout has been shattering records even under tough conditions hundreds of people are spending hours in line braving the cold at this parking lot in indianapolis just to be able to mark their election ballots more than 85000000 americans have already made their choice setting a new record. we were excited to vote. motivated by the candidates motivated by. you know my ancestors fought for this right for us to
1:13 pm
commit to right now in this very moment in time and so i'm here high voter turnout could work in joe biden's favor national polls show he's leading in swing states like here in iowa which however could still go either way and at a public appearance at a drive in movie theater because of the pandemic car honking instead of cheering for up your outer trust each other again. arbitron america to be united again and. we cannot afford 4 more years of doubts are out. in the final spurt of the campaign president donald trump holds 3 public events a day without social distancing and wearing face masks just like here in michigan a traditionally democratic stronghold which he barely won 4 years ago and the question of whether trump would accept defeat graciously keeps popping up or just he claims that voting by mail could lead to fraud who has voted so far. ok
1:14 pm
who is going to vote on tuesday are it's a funny thing you know we tell our people go out and we're not big into the ballot world we sort of the like it ok you know because too many tricks get played in some states ballots must arrive by election day in other states they only have to be postmarked by that date in pennsylvania ballots will be accepted up to 3 days after election day and in north carolina up to 9 days after november 3rd legal arguments against that by republicans were overruled in the supreme court telling the ballots could take weeks only a massive lead would make it obvious fairly quickly who's won experts fear that in case of a republican lead on november 3rd. trump could announce himself the winner or challenge the election in court if it is a close election the republican party of the president has certainly signal of that he will do everything from
1:15 pm
a legal framework in order to contest the results and he didn't just today tweeting about out he believes the supreme court going to decide this election and now with the supreme court having 6 conservative leaning judges out of a total of 9 that could be to president trump's advantage this is news thanks for watching. this presidential election is a crucial why not just for the united states who's leading the race in america's policy speech will be right here for you and both tell you everything you need to know as america decides we'll bring you the numbers issues the background join us for special live coverage from berlin the u.s. election november 4th on the.
1:16 pm
a country in turmoil. a president who provokes and divides. driven into a corner by protests and the pandemic. donald trump is fighting tooth and nail for a 2nd term. with the election fast approaching america continues to be shaken by the coronavirus and a debate about racism. will meet people in 3 states that could decide the election arizona michigan wisconsin. after everything that's happened well they still go for trial. i was donald trump on the campaign trail
1:17 pm
fighting for votes and arizona was the last time around he won this important state by a very narrow margin was. belk prefer to listen to the president from outside the rally phoenix has become a coronavirus hotspot it tearing down statues desecrating monuments and purging dissenters it's not the behavior of the peaceful political movement it's the behavior of. talent terriers and tyrants and people that don't love our country they don't love our country. the bells often tune out when they hear trump's course rhetoric. what they care about is his economic record i think he's so pro-business he understands business. as a business is business owners we want somebody that kind of understands our issues for coping there we are reading it all for so many are so kind he was doing well
1:18 pm
you know right we had high hopes for you know reelection and i mean it's it's crazy how kobe has just changed. america it's changed the world but i really think that if he got in and he was elected for another 4 years that the things that he said in the beginning i think would come to fruition and. it's fairly quiet outside the rally and contrast to the last drop of entity and steve attended in february. could it be the heat. or the fact that the president has taken some hits in the polls. i there doesn't seem to be as much energy in the crowd or even in his voice we were outside can't see him but it just doesn't feel as energetic on the things tired or a lot of the masses are is fixed you know large so he draws energy from the crowd i don't know but it just seems a little bit more subdued duty and steve bell have always been steadfast
1:19 pm
republicans they plan to vote for trump in the bamberg across the country pastor great louis's venturing back into his church for the 1st time in months. milwaukee is home to the largest black congregation in wisconsin and otherwise largely white rural state fair. share and lewis is great in march the preacher was in intensive care. during the coronavirus brought him close to death the virus has killed 4 of his friends in milwaukee just like elsewhere black people have been more affected by covert 19 than white people. got. it is real and saved my life because i should have been dead you know i heard all proud of other issues on top
1:20 pm
of the corona you know what my believe is their god who is. the pastor hasn't fully recovered yet this is his 1st service since being seriously ill in any case churches in wisconsin had to stay closed for months. after such a long time away pastor lewis wants to use his sermon to preach about pervasive racism. he says the killing of george floyd caused many to wake up. who didn't know. we're going. to try to. oh. ma. far. there. is. pastor lewis his ministry doesn't stop at the church door thank you he's been
1:21 pm
fighting against the discrimination faced by milwaukee's black population for years . he now hopes they could be on the verge of meaningful change. just because there is a law doesn't make things right so because slavery was a long. but it was a right so so we're going to have a lot of work to do or we have to start to do that work right now where the people who are protesting in the streets before we go back to our old ways and being quite recent. and bitter and hateful. the brutal killing of george floyd shook the nation yet again raising an uncomfortable truth black americans are much more at risk of dying from police violence they make up 13 percent of the population but 23 percent of those killed by police statistics
1:22 pm
the president prefers not to use and so are white people so no white people what a terrible question to ask so white people more white people by the way more white people black americans are much less likely to own their own home and can become homeless more quickly. and regardless of education they almost always earn considerably less than white americans. in arizona the lockdown has over restaurants and stores are open despite rising coronavirus infections. stephen dodie bell's business selling promotional items is buzzing again like we do finally there are new inquiries and orders. in the 1st week after the lockdown the phone didn't even ring. demand had completely collapsed it just happened so fast i knew that that economy would come back
1:23 pm
i just thought that it would come back quicker and now here we are almost in july and now we have the resurgence of cases and i think it's it is a setback. one of their regular customers wants a bulk order of t. shirts $10000.00 worth. but duty is still cautious about the recovery. as the pandemic struck the economy the trumpet ministration turned to stimulus to soften the blow at the end of july the state had provided financial aid worth $2.00 trillion dollars many are calling for more the checks for up to $1200.00 that most americans received have long been spent the economic collapse was the worst in 75 years a fact trump ignores but we're going to go up. people are going to say.
1:24 pm
it's guy's doing a good job he knows what he's doing and i don't believe the fake news but next year and i said it before it will be the single greatest economically we've ever had. the bells have received the equivalent of 51000 euros from the state. we haven't had to dip into our own pockets to pay for our ploys i mean i still responsible for them i don't want to let them go live to employees that have been with us almost 20 years i just can't do that so it's helped keep us afloat. she can understand trump's desire to lift pandemic restrictions. has he made all the right decisions probably has he made some good decisions yes but no matter what president was sitting in the office you know. i just don't know how you can judge something that we've never called her before. steve has another preoccupation
1:25 pm
with us through his friendship with one of his poker buddies who's black he's come to see how much racism affects the daily lives of black americans. a friend of mine just sent me a thing over the weekend about trump supporting. white supremacy some of you saw all that. and basically trump. said that was a good thing on his tweet. i think he's going to be like. i think he's killing himself right now personally i think he's if he would learn to shut up . he might have a chance to right now i think and maybe know that. democratic candidate mr biden. has a much better shot. before the boxes are even packed a grim news alert record new corona virus infections ours and restaurants will have
1:26 pm
to close again so that kind of changes things again i clear talking about every day is a new day everything changes just when you think that you're getting some traction . or not. to him. ok. katie pontifex has to face the virus every day. in her home state of michigan the pandemic has been to some extent under control but the numbers are rising again. she has no sympathy for those who don't want to follow the rules anymore even though she herself longs for the time before corona i want to go back to my life the way it was and i think that it's hard to swallow that our lives will be different moving forward until there's
1:27 pm
a vaccine. time and again katie has had to witness patients losing their fight against cope at 19. the nurse hopes that those in washington d.c. will take the danger more seriously. most of us don't go into this career for anything but if we want to care for people so we don't feel like heroes we're just showing up and do our job. you know we take care of people in the best times of their lives and our worst and this was how different the simple facemask has become the symbol of a divided country with trump himself stirring up the dispute many republicans refuse to wear them while democrats are in favor of them and trump's message everything's under control every word of the doctor said you know so much about this maybe i have a natural ability a baby or should it does that instead of. the economic collapse caused by the pandemic seems to be a personal affront to trump his 1st appearance in
1:28 pm
a mask was only in july. he then called mass wearing patriotic. it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better so i think i don't like saying things but that's the way it is. hindsight is 2020 meanwhile more and more american. as are dying. the number of coronavirus deaths continues to rise seemingly unchecked unlike in germany for example. the u.s. is handling of the pandemic put it on the level of a developing country because katie's hospital took early precautions she and her colleagues feel well equipped just very near. what she was here she then tested positive for home unrelated she was she's just starting to get a cough but rather than that she hasn't really had any of the symptoms of. the times they have praise for michigan's governor in part because she asked nurses
1:29 pm
like katie for their advice. the state shutdown early on which drew sharp criticism from president trump katie didn't like that at all. trump encouraged the governor's opponents who even blocked access to the hospital. i wish people would trust health care workers but there i have run into colleagues around the country that i went to school with who are on the other side of this and they too think that this is just like the flu and you know but that's not what we're seeing in it . so even those of us who are educated in the sciences are are struggling at times . a new residential area on the outskirts of lansing michigan capital many here have been economically better off in recent years katie her 2 daughters and husband matt have just moved into their new home.
1:30 pm
matt doesn't mind some of the administration's economic policies but he thinks its social responsibility is lacking and it has nothing to do with socialism the republicans favorite bogeyman. as a society we need to be making longer term decisions how do we buy and improve health care and insurance coverage and making sure everyone's taken care of that's not an easy fix and as much as we'd like to get the one second sound bite that says i have the solution and it takes people coming together i can't i can't even watch videos if it i need it and i read the subtitles because i think. it puts me in a bad place to just even here is voice some days and. i don't ever want to think that of any any any person even if. there are
1:31 pm
a modern family katie does shiftwork matt takes on a large share of the childcare and housework it's not as though they long for more government regulations they're freedom loving americans but the country under donald trump is no longer an america they recognize. and parent we opposed to any policies that indicate that one group is below another that's just doesn't work with the family values that we have we know ourselves with any one party we know that our our you know our beliefs and. and morals and things like that line up a little bit more direct with one party versus the other but you know we look at the candidates issues and and thought along those lines up until. it was a this primary election or maybe it was last year we've never voted a straight party ticket before and this year we well. one reason katie and matt
1:32 pm
plan to vote democratic is their daughters. they want eva and emerson to grow up to be strong self-confident women with equal rights. i just think it'd be nice to have a change because we've only had males president for a long long time and it be nice to just have at least one it's a woman. as president format who teaches at a university and katie a nurse for more years of donald trump are unimaginable the country can't handle more division. i. know i never would have been vision something like that. is probably my wildest dreams ok maybe my watch and it honestly at times feels like we're living and i'm in a bad. back in phoenix trump supporter dodi belle is spending the day with her
1:33 pm
grandson. it's a chance to take a breath and forget the stresses of work. the belles had actually planned to sell their business this year to step back and focus more on their family. but then came the pandemic. i mean i have hope i have i know that this is going to be over soon we're going to have our highs on our lows with a cow i can see that but right now i think it's just making me weary and tired you know i'm tired of talking about it i i i feel for those that keep getting set i just feel that weight. steve clears his head by exercising before coronavirus he was sure that america was on the right track. now everything has changed
1:34 pm
a livelihood could be at stake. if we can get our business back to a 100 percent or least close there's a real possibility we could lose our business. he worked hard for his dream after a childhood spent in poverty. when we were out of food we ate what was in the house and i remember one evening for dinner it was like the 3rd night in a row we were having pancakes and. i can remember. going into the kitchen smelling the pancakes and throwing up because i couldn't do another night of pancakes but that's all we had. i have always had the mindset that if i want it i've got to work for it and i started working when i was in junior high and there's this mindset within our country that the government should take care of us and that i don't have to work
1:35 pm
and i do think kind of a socialist mindset is coming into our country where we will no longer be necessarily a democracy. here in michigan the election is mainly about the economy it was a key reason trump won the state in 2016. under his administration some things in the so-called rust belt have improved. but the coronavirus hasn't done much of that improvement. in the neighboring state of wisconsin known as america's dairy land many are murs back to trump and helped him to victory. how will they vote this time . the pandemic forced dave daniels to reduce milk production for several months but demand is starting to
1:36 pm
pick up again these cows are about to be inseminated for the 1st time. david least hasn't had to throw away any milk we do have to keep on farming these animals don't understand what's going on they are accustomed to their daily routine . eating lounging around and everything else so they say they don't know anything different right now they just figure it's a nice sunny day here at the end of june. farmers like dave on trump hoping for better produce prices and less bureaucracy but thanks to trade disputes and the coronavirus they're now more dependent on financial aid from washington than before. when they were in response to cope with 19 or the trade war with china trump solution has always been money. $12000000000.00 during the trade war in 2018 another $16000000000.00 in 2019. and amid the
1:37 pm
pandemic $19000000000.00 by the end of july 2020. i tell you you can go back to abraham lincoln there's no president has treated the farmers like. the farmers but i can't imagine. who wouldn't be wouldn't be withdrawn. many farmers love him for abolishing regulations. environmental safeguards are farmers these are great people great americans never complained never complained they just do what they have to do since the end of march dave has been head of the wisconsin farm bureau betteridge. he'd rather be working outside right now but because of coronavirus the meetings are piling up. today there's a conference with farmers associations from all over the country many support
1:38 pm
despite the president's negotiating style. he is someone that takes we called the bull by the horns and he's been very aggressive and he says he has his reasons for it we can understand it that those are reasons we we wish that sometimes those tariffs when hurt as much but you know those opportunities that he has taken to hopefully have a better future for the united states in the. nearly all of dave's employees are from mexico mostly white americans don't want this kind of work. that's why the farmer is for simpler immigration laws. it's not as though dave isn't critical of the president if only he keep his mouth
1:39 pm
shut more often especially now when protests are sweeping the country. we've always been able to demonstrate though there's been some demonstrations that have been on peaceful but for the most part the peaceful ones are doing it for the right reason. and you know when we have the african-americans and black white man. there there needs to be some some justification force. things that have happened in the time they have the right to do that demonstrate. rural wisconsin as locals like to keep to themselves and the pandemic has isolated the population even more. dave's wife kim is a nurse she knows the best ways to avoid infection. but she's also a committed republican she rejects mandated mask wearing to raise can make up their
1:40 pm
their own mind about who wears them and who doesn't and how they feel you know it is america and we can't force people to do things so we just hope they make the right decisions that will round the spin is both have traditionally voted republican although this time they say they haven't quite made up their minds it's more about milk prices than the larger political landscape the decisive factor is who will be better for farmers. dave says that trump has gotten a lot right. but he still on the fence trumps extremes his tendency to anger evade situations and insult those who think differently. these things go against dave's perception of america. i think there's more people in the middle but the
1:41 pm
boisterous ones on the right and the left and i think they are they are drowning out the middle and how we would like to have this country run so it's it will be a challenge because it seems like the pendulum swings way to the right and then we come back it seems way to left and i wish we could stay in the middle for a will a little while longer so people could be happier. listen over the deserts in southern arizona a place famous for its cacti. maxie adler and lake in georgia all want to show us the effects of trump's politics the pair document how the construction of trump's border fence destroys nature. trump's prestige project has grown despite opposition . laken is a former ranger he quit his job because of trump now he and maxie fight
1:42 pm
against the construction of the border wall. as usual it doesn't take long for security guards to show up we're allowed to be here these are public lands is a taxpayer funded project we have every right to be here you can call your boss you call border patrol. just the usual fun and games lake and says he used to work here as a researcher and ranger now he works to protect the cacti. the saguaro is the emblem of the american west. it's blossoming is arizona state flower. always has construction truck now it's like what like 40 or 50 trucks. seem like there's a lot more going on and just a lot more yet cause is that. the companies seem to be working flat out
1:43 pm
the activists fear trump is using the pandemic to push construction along before the election. 3100 kilometers of borders separate mexico and the united states. my administration has done more than any administration in history to secure our southern border so far around 400 kilometers of bents have been built claims it will be $700.00 by the end of the year. to achieve this he suspended 41 environmental guidelines and competition regulations in arizona alone all planned and financed unilaterally bypassing congress. this unesco recognised reserve is now home to excavators and bulldozers oh. wow. still well yeah it's i'm sure it was killed last week or 2 it's still totally
1:44 pm
what will be on the inside a star has to be at least 75 years old to grow an arm and that's so our own has multiple. so i don't know for sure how well that was but. yeah it could be a could be older than the border itself. these giants of the desert. cut down to fulfill a campaign promise. i mean not only are these plants beautiful irreplaceable but they also provide huge amount of habitat to birds to rodents. they stabilize the soil they provide all sorts of ecosystem services and if we keep destroying these things that hold the patchwork of life together. it's just
1:45 pm
a matter of time until it all unravels. if i did the surf anyone else did this. would be a felony no show you could be put in jail for harming one of these plants but here it's like. they're everywhere. for maxine lake and trump so-called wall is a symbol of his governing style never mind the laws. people fought for a year so make them happen it's not like they happened overnight and the idea was that they would protect us and protect the things that we love and with so little. was able to just remove it as if it doesn't it doesn't exist anymore it's just an absurd amount of frustration it makes me feel like democracy doesn't exist.
1:46 pm
like and now works for an environmental organization in tucson. to witness the destruction as a ranger would have been unbearable now at least he's creating hope despite the pandemic. the violent killing of george floyd has brought a renewed sense of unity to those who oppose trial. and i think it's really clear that the status quo is not working for people and that it is possible to build a more just and beautiful world and in that sense you know the struggle. of the black was not a struggle and our struggle against the border wall against trumps track county and immigration policies are very much linked. to young people like me. axion laken are working hard to make sure trump loses arizona and 2020 s. this revolution in phoenix is growing like no other city in the u.s.
1:47 pm

. after the democrats 2016 loss some blamed the black community for not voting there by costing hillary clinton the state of wisconsin. but angela is angry that democrats took the black vote for granted. she wants to convince people that their votes are valuable but that voting alone isn't enough voting is just one tactic it is not going to be the ultimate solution it's not going to wave a magic wand obvious and policies are on dime it's really going to take voting if people are able to in combination with year round organizing that's is where you're going to see the change that's we're going to see the accountability it's our job to make sure that people are uncomfortable even if you were just elected yesterday don't don't rest on that to honk because we're going to reach out to you and we're going to ask about what your agenda is for the black community.

how many people you think you're going to pose past how many things you could be responsible for. oh. all right my man. that's a nice number 2 now that pastor greg lewis has survived coronavirus he sits in his kitchen and makes calls to other parishes now he wants to organize 100000 votes as part of an initiative called souls to the polls he knows how important his efforts could be hillary clinton was only a few tens of thousands of votes short of winning the 2016 election in his state should register to vote we can protest for the rest of our lives as some places go it's for all of that years so we need to have a transition to something that would be more long term gratification nobody's going to write in or white horse and help us see and there's mistrust for democrats and republicans right now you know because look

1:53 pm
immoral business. you know we're all humans as i don't agree with some of these you know words that president trump has said i still . i think over all that. he tries to do what's right even though sometimes it doesn't come across that way i'm not going to judge the man i know my own frailties on my own and that's between him and god really know it's not really my judgment i'm not going to be i'm don't put him in the same level as jesus so he's just my president he's not my savior. independence day in wisconsin faster great braves the baking sun 4 hours. after all a barbecue is essential on the 4th of july. donald trump has just

consideration that you know other people get. one thing unites all americans there's lots of food for the national holiday to do mr greg and his wife have invited over a friend and her daughters of being together this time to relax with family free and love would be pretty right now that you would bless those with your stories that we. might get through these times that it's so important cover from 400 years of devastation these soon thank god they've met amy. dodi and steve usually celebrate with their children and their friends this time it's a dinner for 2 it's a 4th of july that i i'm not going to forget i mean i'm kind of sad because the family's not together or not you know swimming in the pool and we're not laughing and telling jokes and everything but i mean i'm still glad as 4th of july proud to

be an american but it's just it's different there's just like a damper on the whole day. at least there's something to celebrate they've just received word that they'll get a government loan worth $150000.00. it should get their business through the next few months steve sees that is true that trump's america is good for him and others . but i think that's one of the things that makes me proud about being an american is we do help. people in the world i know we can be conceived as bullies and and such but. i think america is. is good for the world i do think there are interests in the world that would like to see that change but i hope that america stays. a leader in the world and cares about our neighbors in the world. the fact that trump is already talking about election fraud annoys them but they're not surprised it's just typical trump. one last question before we go
1:57 pm
what if trump loses but refuses to leave office and i don't know how that's possible. i don't know of a president that actually said that they're not leaving if you like that's no probability but certainly have hope. but again i think going back to that his behavior has proven that he's much like my youngest child my sister tantrums that's a terrifying prospect of pressure it may be a very real scenario and a very may well be a constitutional crisis but the military were going to move from he would have to be removed i mean that's the way we roll here so. plus the least a baby i don't feel that he is going to make a special decree and create him king of america we all know that like jess and champ gets voted out of office as in is going away going to be hanged him from him for years to come he knows he has millions of people who follow him and he doesn't
