America. Your reality is not rio catering to your delusions is no longer an option we will not pretend we will not be your data files slave we will not be our 1st go 7 to our press and most of our we will not dress up this genocide and who may call it Police Brutality we were only pledge allegiance to the truth like america.

Sure hold much of the crowd here and so some 50000 is what i was told this morning we could have updated numbers they came here to experience a part of history in to make this new chapter of history as you said its been exactly 57 years since the great civil rights leader Martin Luther king took the ascent of the steps of the Lincoln Memorial behind me and delivered his iconic i have a dream speech and today it was his son who followed in his fathers footsteps telling this crowd here that while there is hope there has been progress he said still the fulfillment has of his fathers dream almost 60 years later it is still to. Come to this march it was planned back during the funeral of yet another black american was killed by Police OfficersTroy George Floyd of course the man in minneapolis who was who suffocated under the knee of a white Police Officer and so the message of the marchers today was the rallying cry was get your knee off our necks now they are marching from the Lincoln Memorial toward the m. L. K. Memorial and theyre hoping that their voices are heard as far as the white house as far as the halls of congress they say that this president has not cared about their life he does not care about racial equality they think and they believe that congress while some proposals have been floated that sound good action hasnt actually resulted and so theyre calling for that change to happen now and given the lack of any kind of progress on racial equality or tackling inequality and Police Reform what can we expect in the weeks and months ahead of that likely to be more protests and demonstrations in different cities in the u. S. There likely will be more protests but also those protesters here have a deadline that are set on this that within 60 days the u. S. Election they see that is their ultimate chance to make their voice. Has heard the crowd here was adamantly anti President Trump many here the speaker is calling on people to get people registered to vote to go to the ballot box themselves they think no doubt this president who the protesters here say have only made racial tensions worse in this country and done nothing to address the underlying inequalities thank you very much from washington hi joe castro. Jacob blakes lawyers told al jazeera that he is no longer handcuffed to a hospital bad treatment his family had strongly objected to and they say their strength was applied because of a previous arrest warrant thats now been lifted why there was not some sort of compassion with respect to the severe injuries that jacob suffered i dont know he wasnt going anywhere he is paralyzed he is heavily medicated hes in a ton of pain.

Well donald trump and my pants are getting straight out into the campaign trail fresh from the Republican National convention in his speech accepting apologies nomination us president told the election a choice between saving the American Dream or allowing. A socialist agenda as he put it i want house correspondent kimberly hellcat has mall. Never in modern history has a sitting President Campaign from the white house a political symbol that supposed to be for all americans i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the United States. Like Joe Biden Donald trump has again broken with precedent as he accepted the republican partys nomination and attacked his democratic rival joe biden this is the most important election in the history of our country. Christ spoke for more than an hour painting at apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency he told voters his opponent was campaigning as a democrat but would assure in an ideology much further left than any other liberal candidate your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding americans or whether we give free rein to violent and our kids and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. Trump touted what he saw as some of his administration successes in Foreign Policy i could not sit by. As career politicians let other countries take advantage of us on trade borders Foreign Policy and National Defense a domestic policy even as trump is scored low marks from American Voters for his Pandemic Response with more than 180000 americans dead trump argued biden will not make things better instead of following the science joe biden wants to inflict a painful shutdown on the entire country his shutdown would inflict unthinkable and lasting harm on our nations childrens families and citizens of all backgrounds as he spoke more than a 1000 guests most of them not wearing a mask sat shoulder to shoulder ignoring the white houses own social distancing guidelines earlier in the day democratic Vice President ial nominee Camila Harris hit back charging trump didnt do enough in the early days of the pandemic to protect americans all we needed was a competent president one who was willing to listen willing to lead take responsibility have a plan. Do their job. Paris also accuse trump of stoking racial divisions absent from trumps speech was any mention of jacob blake the man shot in the back last weekend of wisconsin by a white Police Officer even though the incident has caused nights of protests and the shutdown of the countrys biggest sports leagues and in true trump fashion his speech and the convention ended literally with a bang. But in an attempt to drown out the festivities the protesters marched through the streets around the white house demanding justice and value to do all they could to prevent trumps reelection but donald trump is undeterred by the push back in an effort to build momentum following his acceptance speech immediately hitting the campaign trail of friday hell travel to the u. S. State of New Hampshire to hold his 1st political rally since the Republican National convention kimberly health at aljazeera the white house. Kennedy joins us live now what has been the reaction the country to President Trumps acceptance speech. Well donald trump reacted on twitter very early on friday and what he had to say were 2 great reviews and also great ratings for his acceptance speech but actually weve looked at the numbers and thats not entirely true in fact when you compare Donald Trumps acceptance speech to joe bidens except in speech more americans tuned in for joe biden so you look at the numbers 23600000 for biden 21600000 for donald trump for a president that has an obsession with ratings as a Television Producer other things and also was obsessed with his crowd size for his inauguration you know this is not going to sit well with him and thats why he likely went out and tweeted this is what he does he often brands things as better than they are to kind of hide the fact that he came in 2nd place now we look at 2016 donald trump speech acceptance speech was much higher rated than Hillary Clintons and of course donald trump went on to win the white house so in terms of this being a possible indicator it certainly doesnt bode well for the president now in terms of the content of the speech there was a lot of concern that the president had kind of used the scorched earth type of approach that it was flat otherwise and also that he spoke about the pandemic in the past tense when it still is raging in the United States the other big concern about this speech was how it was presented on the lawn of the white house again this is the peoples house and yet we saw the branding of the Trump Pence Campaign sides on either side of the president s podium really something that concerns people given this sort of partisan nature in violation of federal law so were watching carefully to see what else the president might say he set to leave the white house for a campaign rally. In the coming hour thank you very much kimberly how. Well california texas new york and several other states will not be following new advice from the u. S. Centers for Disease Control to reduce coronaVirus Testing for those exposed to it the states will continue testing asymptomatic people have come into contact with the 19 is part of that plan to stop the virus from spreading c.

S. National institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases is also a leading member of the White House Coronavirus task force in the last hour he told al jazeera hes concerned that some regions still are not reopening after the lockdown in a careful and considered way. If you take a look at whats going on right now even at a steady state were having between 35 and 45000 infections per day so even if things dont get worse you know you have more infections and when you have more infections you have more deaths so hopefully well be much better prepared to do 2 things to diminish the number of actual infections and by doing that to diminish the number of deaths because as you know weve been hanging around a 1000 deaths per day for quite a period of time right now weve got to get that number down and if we do then we would have many more deaths but if we dont do something about it we can continue to have that steady you know rather high number of deaths every day that weve seen over the last several weeks to several months actually and of course there is this clash isnt there between the medical advice and the economic imperatives you must be concerned about the prime the chair lifting of lockdowns leading to new outbreaks of the pandemic and resulting in more infections and sadly more deaths. Well thats really the problem that we faced in the United States you know we got hit very badly in the northeastern part of our country dominated by the new york metropolitan area which at one time during the outbreak accounted for close to 50 percent of all the infections the hospitalizations and deaths as the northeastern part of the country got on the much better control as we tried to open up the country for economic reasons Southern States such as florida texas arizona and california began to have the surges that lifted our backgrounds from 20000 cases a day up to as high as 70000 now as i mentioned were back down to somewhere between 35 and 45000 cases our concern right now is that there are other regions of the country particularly the midwest in which this ng clings of the same problem namely as you try to open up the country if you dont do it in a careful measured way hundreds of mass protests as of right across india to voice their anger over a government plan to hold exams for millions of students demonstrations happened as india recorded its high single day rising Current Affairs cases yet another 77000. 00 country is the 3rd worst affected in the world with what of a 3300000. 00 infections and a half of indias total cases were detected this month alone as testing was ramped up well then 61 and a half 1000 people have died off to contract in 1000 in india.

Of in the midst of what became known as ave nomics was a series of a vicious reforms aimed at boosting japan struggling economy his vision of a well the stronger japan came with a Lifelong Mission to amend the countrys pacifist constitution which bars it from hostile acts except in self defense many japanese opposes constitutional changes the but he did manage to repeatedly win elections as a result of the stability that he brought the fact that hes won 6 National Elections that basically been unopposed and really has shown no sign of losing his power really up until now and is it is it year that japan has been well governed has been predictably and consistently govern for that period and he has managed to translate that into a much more visible role for japan in asia and globally our base trend in security entry ties with the us making japan one of its closest allies. And despite total disputes he warmed up to regional superpower china and japans wartime legacy led to renewed friction with south korea causing their worst diplomatic and create dispute with decades.
