President donald trump says the National Guard is on its way to suppress a black lives matter of protest and can osha that been 3 nights of unrest in wisconsin after police shot a black man jacob blake 7 times in the back a 17 year old has been arrested accused of shooting 2 people dead during the demonstrations video footage showed a young white man opening fire in the middle of the street with a semiautomatic rifle the local sheriff has extended a nightly curfew were not going to put up with what we saw monday night were not going to is that mean were going to stop it all. Yeah it comes on numbers they come not to be able to stop at all but were going to be assertive in helping to protect the city if you know shit you know if you county in our neighbors from around the county state and country are here to help too well within the past hour there was constant attorney general has given more details about the shooting of 29 year old jacob blake he says officers initially tried to use a taser on him but were unsuccessful mr blake walked around his vehicle opened the drivers side door and leaned forward while holding on to mr blakes shirt officer ruston chefs ski fired his Service Weapon 7 times after she fired the weapon into mr blacks back during the investigation following the initial incident mr blake admitted that he had a knife in his possession and the cia agents thats the division of criminal investigation i recovered a knife from the drivers side floorboard of mr blakes vehicle a search of the vehicle located no additional weapons john hendren joins us live now from can have john so were listening there to wisconsins attorney general getting more details about the events leading up to jacob blake shooting what was he been saying. Thats right the details we learned from the attorney general really contradicts a lot of what we had been heard earlier weve been told that blake was an armed the attorney generals that in fact he acknowledged that he had a knife on him although the video that we have seen that 20 seconds of viral video shows him walking away from police with his back toward them not threatening them but you have the police saying they did recover a knife on the floorboard of that car whether he had it on his person and dropped it in the car when he was shot we dont know they say that is the extent of the investigation but they do acknowledge that one officer fired 7 times into blakes back and they say that was the only officer who fired the shots what we dont know is whether that officer will be charged there have been a couple officers who have been put on administrative leave and then we went on to here at the District Attorney of this area to talk about the violence and some of the looting in arson that is occurring he called that despicable and said that they would not allow that so we can expect probably for them to pursue some prosecutions especially because along with all of the Police Hundreds of them state federal local that are coming to descend on can no show over the next day or 2 there were also be investigators people from the f. B. I. Who specialize in that sort of thing down and john whats the latest situation then on the streets i mean President Trump said he was sending in reinforcements abhi like to see protesters defy the curfew again. Well as you can see there and they are right behind me we are just past the curfew right now so theyre violating it as we speak and thats because you know she moved the curfew up by one hour so now its an hour earlier than it has been now its during daylight they want everyone to get home before it gets dark and its after dark when the protesters have tested the police on every night so far but as you mentioned President Trump said that he had spoken to governor tony even as they had greet agreed that trump would send in a number of federal troops that includes 500. 00 National Guardsmen it also includes people from the f. B. I. From the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms and u. S. Marshals some of those people have already been here but theyre coming in much larger numbers i just spoke to a Law Enforcement source about an hour or so ago who told me that from chicago alone there will be 60 f. B. I. Agents and an untold number of swat teams those are the guys who carry riot gear and assault weapons and theyre there for very serious crowd control kinds of missions and thats just one city that the nearest big city but just one city that theyre coming from so what officials are trying to do here is what they successfully did in minneapolis thats after several days of of raucous looting and arson they just came in with huge numbers of police very Aggressive Police tactics rubber bullets tear gas and they shut those protests down after dark thats what theyre trying to do here and so far they have been utterly unsuccessful they simply have not had the numbers to protect more than this sort of central area where youve got a bunch of government buildings as police were here a group of looters and arsonists have gone to other neighborhoods and just torched them in one incident in one night rather 37 different fires were set to john hendren there live for us in commotion wisconsin john thank you. Well action against Racial Injustice is also spread to American Sports the n. B. A.

By iran dandre or is a professor of Political Science at Jackson State University he says there needs to be an adequate political response to the violence where there may be some low i guess hesitancy if you will on the 2. Candidates the 1968 you know as well that was the year that the command of the cables assassinated and once he was assassinated after americans took the streets in protest just as americans do in trouble all political just patient and those voters got the point that needs to be made here i guess is that there used to be. No so if you will look from systemic racism issues have evolved now where you have illuminated with the death of george lower but now there needs to be some you know implementation we know what needs to be done but now we need to execute particularly we need to.

Vice president mike pence will make his case to voters at the Republican National convention later on wednesday night a socially distance audience of around 100 people are expected to watch him deliver his speech from fort mchenry in maryland other speakers on day 3 will include pence his wife karen and civil rights advocate Clarence Anderson lets bring in Kimberly Halkett live from outside the White House Committee so mike pence will be giving his keynote speech later from fort mchenry what are we expecting to hear from the Vice President and was he chose in this specific location. Well according to the white house this will be a speech that will be optimistic in tone that it will lay out the goals of the future of a 2nd term of a trump pensive ministration but also what this administration sees as some of it successes having said that while there have been some historic job gains all of those have been wiped out by a covert 19 so its a little bit ironic that it will be mike pence talking about all of this given the fact that he headed up the task force for corona virus in the United States and many blame the trumpet ministration for not doing more in terms of response so that will be the challenge to overcome but in terms of the venue for make henry the reason this is been chosen is because the symbol of this evening is to honor american heroes the location of fort mchenry was the inspiration for the starspangled banner of the American National anthem and this will be an opportunity for the trumpet ministration to stand in solidarity with those that are under d the flag well also sending a message of contrast to those that choose to kneel for the National Anthem mostly black Football Players who protest Police Brutality and can believe those riots and can osho wisconsin have taken up much of the headlines in the u. S. President trump wasted no time in declaring he was sending in reinforcements to quell the protests presumably he sees this as the perfect opportunity to show that hes being tough on law and order. Yeah this is something that the president recast himself as this law and order president tough on the violence of the latest being the support that he has given to the governor of wisconsin sending in the National Guard this is because the president had expected to run on his economic record but of course again that was decimated by cope with 19 and now the president has sort of pivoted to this new message so expect that we may even see the president this evening what we do know is that there is expected to be a strong to that ca should by the Vice President to the violence that continues not just in wisconsin but also around the United States as many of those protests have turned to riots and violence all right to kimberly huggett live for us there outside the white house can be will no doubt come back to you after the Vice President speaks later on during the night iran has agreed to give you an inspectors access to 2 alleged Nuclear Sites the International Atomic Energy Agency has been trying to gain access for the past year iran had argued that the requests were based on a geisha is from israel the agreement was made by the head of the agency whos just returned from a visit to iran.
