The Republican National convention finished refined work some time rousing speech from president s trump in the teeth of a worldwide pandemic that killed more than 180000 americans record unemployment and federal troops on the streets of u. S. Cities one of the president s main messages seems to be if you think things are bad now wait and see what happens if biden gets in im phil gayle in berlin and this is the day. This is the most important election in the history of our country though time before. Voters faced a clear choice between 2 parties 2 visions 2 for last of. The all know donald trump makes no secret about how he feels sat there you like it or not he always know what hes thinking. Its all on the line president tromping the leader there will reveal that promise had been married. Also on the day russian president Vladimir Putin says he sat up research of police force to help delarue says troubled president maintain order lets go germanys chancellor crying foul under the magical says demonstrators on the streets of minsk deserve freedom to protest and freedom of opinion. I hope that the people who have bravely taken to the streets who have called out of bad state of affairs that those people have all the freedoms that we take for granted freedom to protest freedom of opinion all these things must be fought for and. For donald trump has now accepted the republican partys nomination for the presidency his acceptance from the white house ended the partys 4 Day Convention against a backdrop of simmering tensions over Police Shootings of black americans President Trump portrayed his democratic opponent joe biden as the destroyer of american greatness who if elected would oversee the dismantling of the country. Her Republican Convention this scene is anything but conventional. Never before has a white house been used as a backdrop for a president ial candidates acceptance speech leading some to accuse trump of misusing the building as a political prop. But over the next hour trump showed he was determined to use all means at his disposal to make the case for his reelection starting by saying the stakes have never been higher. This is the most important election in the history of our country. At no time before have voters faced 8 clear a choice between 2 parties 2 visions 2 philosophies or 2 agendas. He set out an optimistic vision of the countrys future under a new trump victory. In a new term as president we will again build the greatest economy in history quickly returning to fall employment soaring incomes and record prosperity and despite the obvious flouting of his own administrations guidelines on the plan to make an event with few Wearing Masks and seats close together he promised to bring the coronavirus under control. We are delivering lifesaving therapies. And will produce a vaccine before the end of the year or maybe even sooner. But his main strategy was to attack his opponent joe biden who is leading in the polls. Joe biden is not a savior of americas soul he is the destroyer of americas jobs and if given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness someone further presented by to is a radical and a danger to society also by making claims that have proven to be untrue. Make no mistake if you give power to joe biden the radical left will defy Police Departments all across america they will pass federal legislation to reduce Law Enforcement nationwide they will make every city look like democrat run Portland Oregon. No one will be safe in bidens america. Critics say chums aim is to stoke fear and cast himself as the savior of the nation. For all his fiery triumphalism campaign is only now just beginning. So lets see what weve learned to chris for quite a Senior National strategist for us political campaigns with Majority Strategies hes a republican whos previously worked on the Bush Cheney Campaign he joins us from los angeles welcome to day doubly so this was the president s the shed jewel to speech that he has popped up at your ng by the way im what was this trying to achieve. Well what the president did your show to just a clear articulation between 2 visions for america one is very hopeful and optimistic and one is selfloading and selfdefeating and wants to you know focus on the parts of america that dont work well and america is not a perfect country the president would say that anyone would say that. The president s trying to say is that at our heart most americans are optimistic people were hopeful. You know that kind of messaging and that kind of Campaign Rhetoric was extremely successful for president obama as people wanted to believe in hope they want to believe in a Brighter Future and i think thats exactly what president s will deliver. So i we heard him refer in his speech to the disturbances the country is seeing these disturbances are happening on his watch so whats his plan what would he do in a 2nd presidency that he hasnt done isnt doing this time. Well certainly the president has already made tremendous advancements in terms of criminal justice reforms as well as Law Enforcement form to try and push for more patient in Law Enforcement you know in the United States are our system of government a little bit different than other countries we have a dissimilation of server susan responsibility down to local control so cities and individual states are responsible for Law Enforcement stream crisis and which the president said hes more than happy to help and restore order to those areas that have been overrun its the real unfortunate part about this is there are literally innocent you know persons victims of these horrible things that happened some of these cities but the focus is being taken away from that its being hijacked by people the radical agenda yes let me just let me just jump in there because that because im really interested in the president s message on this lets say im a Middle American im a black Middle America and im im watching whats going on and i watching the president saying this stuff is bad and it will get worse if biden is and so im here skeptical and im here going yeah but youre in charge now whats whats whats going to be different next time if i vote for you. American voters are smart enough to realize that they not only have congressmen and senators in the president but they also have mayors and they have city members of the city council sheriffs in their local municipalities and so the you know assumption of guilt or the assumption of innocence very neat if you go through me goes on any given day anywhere in the United States is not soley rests with one elected official and i think most after its in quite frankly any american regrowth of their ethnic background is theyre going to look at their Small Business owners theyre you know theyre trying to get back to work as you get past this endemic theyre trying to get their lives back and theres this small fractional element that wants to constantly disrupt these things ok actually some of the 1st meeting is taking place in some of these less less fortunate aber hoods and there are strong Small Businesses the minority you know would go about lets course that 19 pandey mckay is everywhere said lets hear from the president on health the cost of the biden shutdown would be measured in increased drug overdoses depression alcohol addiction suicides heart attacks economic devastation job loss and much more joe bidens plan is not a solution to the virus but rather its a surrender to the virus to save as many lives as possible we are focusing on the science the facts and the data so chris full can with the president delivered that speech to hundreds of people few of whom were Wearing Masks none of whom appeared to be observing social distancing so again what is that in the president s record the highest number of cases in the world the most tested 4th highest number of deaths by 100000 in the world not to mention the continuing Opioid Crisis what is that in all of that to give people watching this this the last 4 days of this conference the confidence to give him another go. Who the president the administrations i dont think anybody could have planned you know for this worldwide pandemic which nature which ministrations in charge president s leadership under the circumstances been exceptional hes been able to find allocate resources and help governors and. Address shortfalls in Critical Services hes been able to make sure that were not overpaying for personal protective equipment as well as fast tracking vaccines you know some of the statistics i can certainly verified deaths from 1000000 deaths 400000 i would say the United States is certainly a 1st world country with a lot of people and we have a lot of people from one of the economic spectrum to the other and country so if there was going to be some sort of Infectious Disease like to support the tremendously affected by it but were going to recover faster because of the way that america approaches so i think thats what you can see here in the coming months and its really what the president described. During the conventions forward. And so protests and deaths and the confrontations here in Portland Oregon continued to slide the president. In federal forces so what is the president promising to do about these situations if reelected that he hasnt already done. Well we have a very clear Legal Process in the United States you know when it comes to the use of federal forces for civil Law Enforcement posse comitatus and only in cases of extreme emergency or federal forces used or in some of the approaches you are seeing in washington d. C. When theres a Federal Building or a federal location federal facilities are being threatened. And so the president rightly so is allowing cities in terms of those mayors of those cities and governors of those states who dress the situations and when those mayors and those governors need assistance and the requests the president offers assistance make sure that were able to return law and order to some histories where some of these protests are happening. Now of course there was lots of biden bashing in the president s speech that said i hear the president on jobs. Joe biden is not a savior of american years so all he is the destroyer of americas jobs and if given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness for 47 years joe biden took the donations of Blue Collar Workers gave them hugs and even kisses. The way. And told them he felt their pain. And then he flew back to washington and voted to ship our jobs to china and many other distant lands. So chris focus on this president s watch the u. S. Economy lost a 20500000 jobs unemployment so its in the 15 percent from just under 5 all these figures that he should be proud of. Well if youre going to cherry pick the context of during these Global Pandemic the numbers dont look good but if you look at it and text the president and his jobs accomplishment no one has been able to advance the economy faster and further in terms of job growth lower unemployment and cross the economic spectrum of the United States absolutely spend demick is affected our country as it is affected many countries but what youre going to see is the vigor and the ideas that the president brought to the 1st term prior to this meant demick that brought us to impress the heights of economic success those are the kind of things that are in store for america as we move forward under this president and his watch good talking to you thank you for joining us republican strategist chris full of. Thank you this is the day on d w still to come. Here instead of there really is no longer we hear the story of a musician who found sanctuary in germany 5 years ago. For such a thing as Prime Minister has announced his resignation citing Health Reasons as a tragic irony in the fact that the man who was elected to office 80 years ago primarily because of his economic policies well now they think it will not leave the country as he himself says in one of the worst Economic Crises for decades. 7 years 8 months thats how long since i was in Office Number than any other Prime Minister in japan when he announced his resignation citing Health Reasons he focused on the crippling affects of the pandemic on the jet the release economy this is 2nd cortisol Economic Growth shrank by almost 28 percent. And tell us things shape up without. The markets reacted to the news of his resignation with pessimism initial reports the nikkei index dropped 2 point one percent by close of trading it was still 1. 4 percent down was the mood on the streets of tokyo. Im surprised he looked really tired but i didnt think he would resign i wish he could work harder and stay on in office a bit longer. Ive been wanting him to resign for a long time. Since a is a controversial figure in japan partly because of his emphasis on his public image in 2012 he introduced his ambitious Economic Program naming it unabashedly after himself. With other nomics i will increase jobs and incomes and revitalize the countryside because the. Other nomics was about easing Monetary Policy the Japanese Central bank cranked up the money press flooding the market with fresh new notes there were also credit financed economic stimulus packages initially the program did increase confidence both in the economy and among the japanese population but the risks of other nomics soon became clear the program over leveraged the economy to the point of sovereign bankruptcy and led to a loss of confidence on Capital Markets the already struggling japanese economy has been hit hard by the coronavirus with abbe out of the picture its up to someone else to pull japan out of the crisis. Russian president Vladimir Putin says he has set up a police force to support better rusin some battles president Alexander Lukashenko creating more tension with germany and the European Union mr putin said he was responding to a request from the bene rusin leader he said the force would only be used if the situation got out of control the police have been making more arrests in the balance in capital minsk taken dozens of antigovernment protesters into custody a number of journalists have also been held including a d w reporter who was later released responding to the russian statement german chancellor Angela Merkel warned that bella who says sovereignty must be respected without foreign intervention. And i hope that such forces will not be deployed. And i hope that the people have bravely taken to the streets who have called out a bad state of affairs that those people have all the freedoms that we take for granted. Freedom to protest freedom of opinion all these things must be fought for him and its what people want and they ought to be able to achieve that independently without external interference from any side thats our hope and dozens of which. Meanwhile you Foreign Ministers meeting in berlin have agreed to impose sanctions on the senior beller rusin officials accused of Election Fraud and cracking down on protesters Officials Say the block is working to introduce the sanctions as quickly as possible. Lets get more on this from d. W. Correspondent Nick Connelly in minsk welcome nick well talk about the sanctions on this Russian Police action in just a moment lets start with whats been happening in minsk to day and. Whos been detained. Theres been a real heightening of the Police Response to was demonstrations we had been seeing demonstrations of some kind or another becoming part of everyday life here in minsk in the weeks that followed that rigged election and now the government is making. Is really in acting its promised to clamp down weve seen people. Taken into custody and spending time in Police Custody some now being given sense of several days of mr arrest for taking part in quote unquote. Section protests any opposition protests going to be sanctioned right now not only that but yesterday as you mentioned journalists being taken in ostensibly for document checks in reality this is a way of trying to get in the way of press coverage to avoid unflattering images of protests being dragged away the police keen to get journalist to hand over telephones they can delete pictures and videos of these detentions. Refused to do that was kept in from a 6 hours even though she was accredited even though she told write papers and she was told that some kind of procedural proceedings are now being taken against. Threats of sanctions and these are to be only individuals rather than the country as a whole so whos likely to be targeted and what effect theyre likely to have. I think the list is not going to be much for surprise its going to be top figures in the regime and Security Officials involved in the clampdown since the nights election. I think this is to be expected and its not going to have a great deal effect this regime has come under wave after wave of. Someone telling me he doesnt like the color present but this regime has come under wave after wave of sanctions and they havent made a great deal of difference and theyve been withdrawn without doing much in the least if there is a regime in europe that is sanction proof i think it is the russian one but this is about symbolism this is about showing the protest is the outside world is watching and paying attention to whats going on here in minsk right and sanction proof presumably because interested in the e. U. Into they have. To now he is off base police force if the situation gets out of control doesnt needing russian help look like weakness because. Of course it does but its not as if theres much of a choice had been trying to play a very delicate game of balancing to even russia russia keen to integrate. Even closer eventually to. Somehow form a union of the 2 countries with losing its sovereignty thats something that i had been trying to avoid in recent months but now given that it looks like hes going to be very very reliant on russian help to these protesters he may no be no longer be able to keep up that balancing act so how has the prospect of a russian intervention gone down with the opposition with protesters. Its definitely something that scares many people here people are concerned that may end up as something not very distant from just another russian province if it were to end up so dependent on russian help and given the kremlins repeated. Repeatedly expressed wish to draw better as close close and to somehow recreate some kind of survey union in terms of bringing close to russia at the moment no one can really know where any of this is going there is no roadmap there is no clear progression here is that you ation where not the government is willing to enter into any dialogue with protesters and on the other hand appears to seem in no mind to be scared by these government threats there is no clear path forward but it seems that this standoff is going to continue with no side really willing to give in you know come back from the brink for now. For now thank you. Nick connelly in minsk. And 5 years ago this summer youre faced its biggest migration crisis since world war 2 hundreds of thousands of migrants fled their home countries in search of a Better Future on this continent most often crossed from turkey to greece by boat often in flimsy these more than 750000 landed on the greek shores that year for bad they took what became known as the bulk of brutes traveling north through macedonia and serbia into slovenia or hungary and then on to austria and a u. Countries including germany. Chancellor machall declared an open door policy for us for refugees from syria and as a result germany took in about a 1000000 people one of them was a man now known for his skill with a piano is his story. Because songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also hope 5 years ago pianist fled syria specifically the yarmouk refugee camp for palestinians. Back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created beauty to fight despair. It was hungry or so and i dont can feed my family but i was keeping playing piano we die anyway we will die from hunger in 56 days volm when i dont die play piano at least its held me i dont think music its feed people or helped people really its helped the mentality to see at least to the whites why to place in the end all this got us to off in the other more calm. Yarmulkes a neighborhood of damascus it was under constant siege from i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and a ham played music. Was found. In the images of him playing with fire when a ham fled to germany in 2015 he was already a minor celebrity and was quickly offered a public stage but he felt uncomfortable with the attention. That said. I am here famous playing piano the pianist of the arm or what we are a group of people i try to keep in connection with him its not easy and when somebody is still dying from hunger and you tell him look we speak about you he it up what its done for me there you know this is this is not the easy but the horrible images from a hamas mads past wont stop so easily hopefully he wont give up music it helped him during his dark eyes.
