We dont know if we could get it past him right but we got it passed and i think its probably one of the great things that weve done in this administration tens of thousands of jobs billions and billions of dollars being brought into areas in neighborhoods that would never ever ever be taken care of monetary only areas that didnt have 0. 10 put them in him for years and decades and now people are investing thriving in the jobs have come back we achieved the lowest black hispanic and asian unemployment rates in American History and we will do it again. Well do it again were fighting for School Choice which really is the civil rights of all time in this country frankly School Choice is the civil rights statement of the year of the decade and probably beyond because all children have to have access to quality education a child zipcode in america should never determine their future and thats what was happening so were very very strong on School Choice and i hope everybody remembers that and its happening its already happened but its happening we have tremendous opposition from people that know they shouldnt be opposing it School Choice all children deserve equal opportunity because we are all made equal by god so true a great jobs market and thriving economy is probably the best thing that we can do to help the black 8 hispanic asian communities we saw that just recently prior to the virus that came in from china just a few months ago oh what a horrible thing it was all over the world 188 countries now and i just want to say weve been incredibly well were doing well things are happening that nobody can even believe our country is opening up and its opening up rapidly we had the best unemployment and employment we had best unemployment and employment numbers think of that in the history of our country where up to almost 160000000 people working there was never anything even close. And thats for almost every group including black hispanic asian women young people old people young people without a high school diploma. Every Group Everybody was thrilled everybody had just about high paying jobs our country was never in a better position and we were planning on massive growth that was happening it was already there including big salary increases which were already taking place for the last 2 and a half years big big increases record increases nobody seen anything like it and then we got hit by the virus along with the rest of the world and now im building it up again here we go again but im building it up again and its moving fast and it will be even better than before because we also learned it will be better than before jobs are rapidly coming back and retail sales that we Just Announced 2 hours ago just a little while ago theyre up a staggering 17. 7 percent. The projection was anywhere from 6 to 8 percent were up 17. 7 percent and what does that mean the stock market went through the roof these good numbers they drove it up to a level that. Were almost at the same level hard to believe were getting very close to the level we were before the pandemic and before all of the things that youve seen happen happened its a great thing because ultimately its about jobs its about the government can never do anything like a great job for a person where they look forward to getting up in the morning and going to work and getting a much bigger check than they could ever get other words today and over the last 60 days weve had one of the biggest stock market increases in the history of the stock markets and 2 weeks ago the 50 day increase was the single biggest unless my formular is tampered with we will soon be in a stronger position than we were before the plague came in from china when the numbers reached the point that i know they will there will again be a great unity and a great spirit in our country people will have that job back that they might have lost theyll be making even more money than they did before we have some brilliant people working with me and put it together we did it once and were very easily doing it again were way ahead of schedule youll see that youll see the 3rd quarter numbers will be very good youll see 4th quarter will be really good and youll see next year will be one of the best economic years this country has ever had. And its all happening very quickly whey ahead of schedule and i think you see that people cant even believe what theyre looking in but on top of all of that before the end of the year i predict. We will have a very successful vaccine therapeutic and cure would making tremendous progress i deal with these credible scientists doctors very very closely a Great Respect for their minds and they have come up with things and theyve come up with many other cures and therapeutics over the years is of the people the best the smartest the most brilliant anywhere and theyve come up with. The aids vaccine theyve come up with or the aids and there is you know theres various things and now various companies are involved but the therapeutic for aids aids was a death sentence and now people all of a life with a pill its an incredible thing the ebola vaccine and others these are the people that have done it or these are the people that have been around it and theyre all competing its an incredible thing all of these brilliant firms Labs Companies are competing and i will tell you were very far advanced weve already started tests and trials so and they were going to have a very very good answer to that very very. I always say even without it it goes away but if we had the vaccine and we will we had therapeutic work here one thing sort of blends into the other it will be a fantastic day and i think thats going to happen and its going to happen very soon. Americans can achieve anything. When we Work Together as one National Family to go forward we must seek cooperation not confrontation we must build upon our heritage not tear it down and we must cherish the principles of americas founding as we strive to deliver safe beautiful elegant justice and liberty for all id like now to invite our great friends because they are great friends from Law Enforcement the offices representing the groups to come up as i signed a very important executive order and were asking michonne tim and all of the people that are here from congress to go back and see if they can get something done i see Louis Jim Jim jordan earl all here a lot of representatives from congress and the senate if they can go back and add to what were signing today itll be itll be a big moment it will be a big moment but this is a tremendous step this is a step that could have been taken years ago but people chose not to do that and that was in my opinion a big mistake could have solved lot of the problems that we have now so if i could Law Enforcement if you could come forward weve had the police come up weve had the endorsement of the federal Law Enforcement officers association. The fraternal order of police International Association of chiefs of police International Union of Police Associations youre watching aljazeera live in the rose garden and at the white house for you the u. S. President donald trump saying we are united by our desire for peace we met the families of people who died he listed the people who have died he had picked out clearly 67. 00 or 8 victims of Police Brutality he said we grieve together and we heal together well fight for justice for all our people we will pursue what we have said we have to find Common Ground he said especially now when weve achieved such historically low crime figures i suspect people who run the black lives Matter Campaign would disagree with that after about 1520 minutes there mr trump kind of flips into something of a Campaign Speech he was talking about the state of the economy he said the 3rd quarter will be good the 4th quarter will be really really good the 4th quarter of course straddles election day in the states the general election and also the president ial election november the 3rd and he also went into talking about the coronavirus and the pandemic the impact of covert 19 on the United States of course the u. S. So very very very catastrophic to hit by the coronavirus he said before the end of the year we will have a vaccine and a cure and he actually did say that he said we will have a vaccine and we will have a cure for coronavirus and he wrapped up there as he signed his executive order about incentivizing the Police Forces 18 and a half 1000 of them across the United States Going Forward he said we are looking for elegant justice not quite sure what that means maybe alan fischer our correspondent can help me out on that one what did you make of what he had to say allan. A few interesting points certainly making political points you had them talk directly about president obama and Vice President joe biden not doing anything while they were in the white house for 8 years on this very important issue and hes right at that point but he said that there needs to be a moral leadership when people talk about defunding the police he said we need people with moral clarity to stand forward and say that they do not accept that over the last few days donald trump is tweeted out saying a number of supporters of joe biden and correctly in at least a number of occasions saying that they support defunding the police in the United States joe biden has very clearly said that he is not going to do that there was a comment towards the end which may well it disappeared in the ether of all that it was said in the rose garden and that is when he said we must celebrate heritage not ted it down and not of course because a number of statues are being removed and going through the senate at the moment as a defense bill which also has the provision to rename at least 10 army bases because they are named after confederate generals donald trump has said he is not in favor of that he doesnt see the point of that but a number of republicans are saying that this is the time to look at that and they may well be the case that these bases will change their name donald trump also talked about endorsements that he had particularly from Police Agencies that explains why he has not overly critical of the police so we had the 3 main things that are in this executive order which is more funding for the police if they reach certain professional standards he wants to see police going out on calls with social workers or psychiatry soon might be able to help people who are having Mental Health issues and hes also talking about a database for police. Officers who may have been dismissed from one service and then find a job in another in fact theres been reports of one officer in florida whos done that with 8 different departments what is not in the executive order peter is that there is no acknowledgement that there may be the possibility of systemic racism and also there is no announcement of sweeping reforms interestingly of all the people that are in the rose garden at the moment there is no one there from black life matter and there is no one there from what would be a readily recognizable Civil Rights Organization interesting significant point you make there alan he also seemed to invent a new word credentialing and he went on to say that chokeholds will be barred unless an officers life is at risk but unless there is video constantly being filmed at the point of contact between a Police Officers knee and a suspects neck you cant tell unless you can tell retrospectively whether the Police Officers life was at risk so therefore he flips the situation and uses the choke hold point number one point number 2 chokeholds are being barred anyway are they not. Well it certainly that that is being discussed at the moment certainly a number of Police Services have said that theyre not going to use the chore called anymore remember a lot of Police Organizations dont operate under federal guidelines the operate under local rules that operate under state rules in some places even under tone rules so that is take that out of the equation another thing that donald trump said and it is going to provoke control of our city is that he said there is a very small percentage of Police Officers who are bad apples and certainly the other Police Officers want to get rid of them and people will point to the death of george floyd where there were 4 Police Officers on the scene one had his knee on george floyd for 8 minutes and 46 seconds when there were people seeing that he has stopped moving that that man is in distress there were 3 other Police Officers who did absolutely nothing no 1 may have said look shouldnt you be moving shouldnt you be getting off of them but the officer with the knee on the neck of george floyd was a Training Officer so there were 3 other officers who were then subsequently charged with 2nd degree murder so people will look at that scene and say when you tell me there are Police Officers who want to get rid of the bad apples they dont want to look at situations like that and want to do the right thing they will not be convinced by the president s words in the rose garden ok Something Else he said al and he said we have to break old patterns of failure that is either a word salad that doesnt actually mean anything that doesnt take the political process and the implementation of that any further forward or could it have been the president of the United States also or really saying we have to cut stop killing black people. I think what he is suggesting and remember donald trump was elected on the idea of him being a disruptor that he looks at the way things are done at the moment and suggest that they are not working for the people of the United States so when he says we need to get rid of all patterns of behavior there are many who will applaud him for that because clearly in many cases when it comes to particular the policing of people of color it is not working they will point to so many cases across the country and every day on social media we are seeing even more of them and that has to end so when he says weve got to end these parkins of behavior then he has to lay a roadmap heres the thing to remember about this in the rose garden for the last 2 weeks donald trump has been accused of not doing enough in some cases hes been accused of not doing anything of addressing the issues that are facing the Police Services across the United States that are fit facing minority communities across the United States and hes not doing anything this no gives him the chance to say we are doing something but the onus for what comes out of this executive order largely goes to local elected representatives to congress and also to the Police Services themselves themselves there is very little in this executive order that compels Police Services and others to do and to deliver on what donald trump wants to see why was it allan therefore at the end of that address where he didnt take questions did he feel the need to say the 3rd quarter is going to be good the 4th quarter is going to be really really good and before the end of the year we will have a vaccine and a cure for coronavirus i suspect if you and i could talk to and to me fauji right now mr folke she might say hold on a minute a cure by the end of the year no way very difficult to find any scientist or any analyst who would say yes thats a go. Well as you know theres a couple of things here donald trump often that walks across the message of the day by going on to other issues and thats exactly what he did there by talking about employment and unemployment by talking about the stock market and then talking about vaccines donald trump has always presented the most positive picture of what is going to happen through the covert crisis youll remember that just a couple of months ago although it seems so much longer he said that he believed the cases would soon be doen to 0 except that they rose dramatically and we now have more than 110000 people dead here in the United States he believes that if he talks positively it will generate positive vibes it will therefore reflect in the economy which was always going to be donald trump and the Trumps Campaign main talking point going into the 2020 a lecture and that look how well we are doing are you better off now than you were 4 years ago therefore you have to thank donald trump for that so hes always been on the positive end of the spectrum is the president getting information that we are perhaps not privy to that is always the possibility is this donald trump saying in front of the cameras that he believes that there will be a vaccine by the end of the year with any real basis well you have to remember that 24 hours ago the president would say that if we didnt test this much then perhaps covert would go away thats simply not the reality of whats happening in the United States interesting context alan always a pleasure to talk to thank you so much alan fischer correspondent reporting live from the white house in washington. We move on all schools in the Chinese Capital beijing will be close from weapons day in some neighborhoods back under lockdown thats after beijing source of more than 100. 00 new Coronavirus Infections after almost 2 months with no new reported cases officials are urging residents not to leave the city is Priyanka Gupta Charlie Stanton so working to find the origins of the new cause of 900 hostel thats led to parts of the capital posing a lockdown Authorities Say the corona virus strain found in dozens of confirmed cases this past week appears to have originated elsewhere.

Odds event germany is the latest c. U. Member country to launch a Contact Tracing app that informs the public if they come into contact with lengthy and positive person dominic kane as more. Germany has been praised around the world for its approach in combating the corona virus keeping the number of infections keeping the number of deaths down in states around this country the figures are low isolated outbreaks but generally speaking very low numbers such as here i am right now in the state of schleswigholstein in the north of the country immortality rate here is low one of the tools that government ministers are particularly hoping will help them in the next stage of combating corona is an app that uses and people can download on to best mom which allows them anonymously to see information about whether they mean proximity to somebody whos gone to test positive likewise if a person test positive well then they will upload the details of their positive test which will be also sent to cases and then that information can be sent on to other uses of this app and that way ministers hope that as i say it will be another tool take that their coverage and their treatment of her own onto a different level kind of if you can help to build people whove been in contact with others whove been affected more quickly than its been possible up to now every extra hour to board about the dangers of infection as a win in the fight against this virus. One of the problems that the government with this app and bringing it sat is previously issues that many people would concerns would the data thats gathered here really be anonymous could Data Protection be in short ministers say yes it can but the interesting thing is that surveys suggest the germans down the middle on this 40 percent yes they say they will download this app but around 40 percent say they want ministers hope that in the course of the next few weeks and months as the pandemic progresses that many people will realize that they can use this map and it will give them a degree more safety will certainly thats what ministers hope.
