Over Police Violence violence against americans of color. E. U. Foreign ministers meeting in berlin have agreed to impose sanctions on senior bellaver scene officials accused of Election Fraud and cracking down on protesters they also urged russia not to intervene after russian president Vladimir Putin promised military support for the countrys leader Alexander Lukashenko. A corps in berlin has overturned a ban on a demonstration against coronavirus restrictions planned for saturday it said the protests could go ahead of organizers and here to strict conditions to stop the spread of the virus police are appealing the decision a similar event earlier this month drew tens of thousands of people. This is to give you news from berlin follow us on twitter and instagram a t w news or visit our website. The Republican National convention finished refined work some time rousing speech from President 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 made messages seems to be if you think things are bad now wait and see what happens if biden gets in im filling in berlin and this is the day. This is the most important election in the history of our country no time before how voters faced a clear choice between 242 visions to follow us of. The all knowledge donald trump makes no secret about how he feels sat there you like it or not the always smells like hes thinking america its all on the line president s are going to be the leader of the world reveal that were on the bad marriage. Also on the day russian president Vladimir Putin says he sat up research of police force to help his troubles president maintain order well 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 is seen as 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 a clear 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 pandemic 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 jay biden who is leading in the polls. Joe biden is not a savior of america years so all he is the destroyer of america is jobs and if given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness champ one 3rd of the present fight as 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 that shed jewel to speech that he has popped up a jury 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 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. 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. 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 unless stream crises and which the president said hes more than happy to help and restored 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 who are radical agenda here is let me just let me just jump in there because 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 biden is in 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 for anything to 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 recruits 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 and then are actually some of the 1st meeting is taking place in some of these less less fortunate aber hoods and theyre storing Small Businesses the minority you know would go out lets. Pandemic is everywhere so 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 voters 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 tests of 4th highest number of deaths 500000 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 of 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 tens of deaths from 1000000 deaths 400000 i would say the United States and certainly a 1st world country with a lot of people and we have a lot of support from one into the economic spectrum to the other and were very mobile country so if there was going to be some sort of Infectious Disease like to support be tremendously affected by it but were going to recover faster because of the way that america is i think thats what you can see here in the coming months and its really what the president described. During the conventions for Convention Wisconsin so protests and deaths and the confrontations in Portland Oregon continue and hes fired 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 other process you are seen 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 in both cities and governors of those states who dress the situations and when those mayors and those governors need assistance and the requests president offers assistance make sure that were able to return law and order to some of the streets where some of these protests are happening. 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 america 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 that donations of Blue Collar Workers gave them hugs and even kisses. 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 whats a namea 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 this Global Pandemic the numbers dont look good but if you look at it in its full context 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 across the economic spectrum in 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 to make 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 thank you for joining us republican strategist chris full of. Thank you this is the day on d w still to come. Here instead there really is no longer and we hear the story of a musician who found a sanctuary in germany 5 years ago. For such often hes Prime Minister shinzo 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 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 way this economy they see is 2nd quarter so 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 what is 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. Dont with other nomics i will increase jobs and incomes and revitalize the countryside because it. Was about easing Monetary Policy the Japanese Central bank cranked up the money press flooding the market with fresh new nopes 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 our been our mix 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 ruses embattled president Alexander Lukashenko creating more tension with germany and the European Union mr putin said he was responding to a request from the belarus and later he said the force would only be used if the situation got out of control the police have been making more arrests in the balancing capital minsk taking 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 ward better who says sovereignty must be respected without foreign intervention. It is likely that i hope that such forces will not be deployed. And i hope that the people who have bravely taking 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 e. U. Foreign ministers meeting in agreed to impose sanctions on senior bela 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 today. 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 you know acting its promised to clamp down weve seen people. Taken into custody and spending time in Police Custody now being given sense of several days of mr arrest for taking part in quote unquote. Sanctioned protests and any opposition protests. 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 had all the right 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 they likely to have. I think the list is not going to be much a surprise its going to be top figures in the regime and Security Officials involved in the clampdown since. Selection. 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 turn 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 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 have been trying to play a very delicate game of balancing to even russia russia keen to integrate close and to even closer eventually to. Somehow form a union of the 2 countries with losing its sovereignty thats something that we have 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 combat 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 protesters. Its definitely something that as many people here people are concerned that may end up as something not very distant from just another russian province if you were to end up so dependent on russian help and given the kremlins repeated. Repeated expressed wish to draw close listen to somehow recreate some kind of the soviet 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 the protests to seem in no mind to be scared by these government threats there is no clear path forward but it seems now 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 we thank you correspondent 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 all crossed from turkey to greece by boat often in flimsy hes more than 750000 landed on the creek shows that here from back to 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 huge countries including germany. Chancellor machall declared an open door policy for us for refugees from syria and as a result germany talking 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 of 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 kown feed my family but i was keeping playing piano we die anyway we will die from hunger in 56 days volume when i dont die play piano at least its held me i dont think music its feed people or help people really its held the mentality to see at least some of the whites white to place in the in all this got us through off in the other more comp. 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. And that power came in the images of him playing went viral 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 all feel more 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 all of this is this is not easy but the horrible images from a ham hocks mads past wont stop so easily hopefully he wont give up music it helped him during his dark eyes. Times and it helps him now allowing him to make a living and a new life in germany. And that was the day i was ever they come the station continues online youll find us on twitter at stand up on the news oh you can. Yes youll find is on for the ip that we just have a good day.

W. Closely. Carefully. Dont seem. To be a good. Match. Discovered. Subscribe to the documentary to. Believe. In the supplemental i mean the acceleration. Is the same so. We are living during the most extraordinary time history. Francis ford coppola for the electric co. No. Matter how much read the audio and mobility show. Is it still no mobility revolution when it doesnt look like one rabbit checks out who shows eat tomorrow wait and 2800 the normal enough to get buyers to go would like to. Talking about electric cars in general. The more cars i drive the more i get used to that im still not convinced that this is the future but is the future and already here are breakthroughs on the racetrack changing electric street cars rev reportedly adorning takes a b. M. W. I 3 out to test it for me lately pedigree. In the 1st 30 me this is exhilarating more than the force employing for them to use germany facing a revolution on the autobahn nobody is literally the only developed country working hard like this as fast as they can but would it be safer and better to have speed limits on the autobahn find out in the latest edition of. I. I hello everyone and welcome to a check on todays episode were testing. 208. 00 and the 2008 both have the same platform so id say lets go. We took the smaller model for a spin 1st with the new key to await the shows trying to snatch buyers away from the popular reno zoe and it seems to be working. Demand has been stronger than expected. As the name already suggests any 208. 00 its an electric car the electric motor. You know whats 196. And 216. Different driving. Which is pretty neat. Most electric cars the. Top speed is electronically kept at 150 Kilometers Per Hour order to help preserve the car. I. Battery will give you 340. Which is pretty ok considering that the car. Will usually be driven in cities or cities so thats ok. Talking about the battery give you 100000. Warranty on it and if theres something wrong with. It well replace it. I. Looking at the exterior its hard to tell that this is the electric version of. Seeing that it differs only slightly from its combustion engine. Moving inside theres a 3 d. Virtual cockpit as well as the latest in infotainment systems. The battery self. The car. Isnt just the same. 265 to 960 just for the nice. Of course every once in a while youll have to charge. If you do this at home. For the regular. It will take more than 24 hours. If youre lucky and you have. It will take you around 5 ok. And then theyll be good in the morning and if youre really lucky and you have a either at home working location then they will fill up their car from 0 to any percent in just. Minutes. The driving experience in the 208. 00 is pretty. Pretty compact so its fun driving into the fast and with being direct. You can also speed pretty fast. As its usually. 2 different driving modes. Or b. And b. If you remove your foot from the gas. And almost brake braking in the regular car. You will have to put your foot on that one because. Stop completely and be mowed it will just go 7 kilometers an hour which is like walking speed. So that was the. Lets take a look at its s. U. V. Counterpart. The 2008. Even though the 2008 is based on the same plan its 10 centimeters higher than the 2 in. The interiors of the 2 models are more or less the same. The trunk of the. Youll find 434 to 1467 leaders which is way more than that. To offer but with both of these you will always find the back inside and you will need that because inside the charging cable which will provide you with current. And therefore you will always have in your trunk. The. 208. 00 and they also have the same drive train which leaves you with almost the same driving impression you seem a little higher in the. End you have a little more called for that say. Just like the to await the 2008 years the latest Driver System systems to help keep you safe such as lane Departure Warning active brake assist traffic signs recognition. Cruise control with stop functioning. Quite a few by now and ive always liked their interior especially the Steering Wheel because its so small compared to gearing we use in other cars. Person an optional Premium Sound system with 10 speakers and with these electric models as quiet as they are you can sit back and really enjoy the music. So my final verdict both pretty neat little i choose 108 simply because im not that much into s. U. V. S talking about electric cars in general the more i drive the more i get used to that im still not convinced this is the future its. You know this stand alone future theres still so much work to be done there specially if you know the range of the cars and the charging times but if in the future common your. Numbers then be a pretty good alternative. Nuku show each will raise as a starting price of just under 30000. 00 euros but in germany higher incentives for electric vehicles knock off around 9000. 00 for a final price of just under 21000. 00 euros. Moving up to the larger 82008 s u v will set you back around 4500 euros more. I. Mean if you want more bread check out our huge t. V. Channel.

To be. First of all i have to admit i really like the color of the car because it fits my jacket. Secondly. Its kind of small which i like and then if you check the tires still really small and thin i wonder how the grip is on the streets. Theres only one way to find out by taking it to the track.

Recuperation doesnt really do it for me to be honest i was driving today like probably you contender so no surprise that i had to take a pit stop after just 200 kilometers. No im really lucky today i found this charging station could take me quite a while blood so i mean starting at least. It takes around 15 minutes at the fast charging station to get back to turn 80 percent thats a serious slowdown for me but my hectic daily routine. Determined to close its rhythms on me but i find myself enjoying just chilled out and sustainable electric more and more. I want out of the way. There are a lot of pomp and man germany is literally the only developed country where cars like this can go as far as they can. Wind up building them in the u. K. When they come to over there anyway thats what were going to find out today why germany and why i am so offsets with spain. As a german you grew up knowing that it is better for racing for cars with my younger brother so might that basically forcing everyone off the street whos not doing 200 kilometers an hour. And the german car industry makes you believe that driving as fast as you can is the way to go. And weve got the Perfect Growth rate to do it oh of the lover and ill go by. The 1st real job on was opened in 1932 between born and cologne it had a speed limit of 120 Kilometers Per Hour. Then the nazis took poa and claimed they had built the 1st one. They insisted on calling it. The nazis also got rid of all the speed limits the only time they came back was once up to 3. 00 to 74. 00 to all crisis and it was at that 100 kilometers an hour and the government even wanted to keep it the federal slaves have spilled into long. Nights just 100 to get. Home watch a person drive this car theres a 100 kilometers limitations everywhere. The sad reality is you cant go flat out everywhere on the german altar well were supposed to driving very fast and were stuck in a traffic jam and thats also reality of the glorious. Yes we do have traffic jams and construction sites as well in germany even worse about a 3rd of the german autobahn has speed limits and its recommended that you drive 130 kilometers on the other parts recommended you cant get fined if you drive faster but why 130. Because a 970 alone more than 20000 people died on germanys roads which got the conversation going about speed limits. And 977 a large scale comparative study concluded a speed limit reduces creches by 9 to 11 percent and deaths by 20 to 23 percent. By a specific speed limit was no fly with the german public and the hugely influential Automobile Club idiocy even campaigned against it so we ended up with a recommended really limit of 130 to find out how bad high speed crashes really are im taking an accident researcher for spending my ridiculously. Overpowered jack pretty. Busy kid point man has been reviewing Car Accidents for over 15 years for german insurers the people that pay for all those crashes because when they have to speak right now you would automatically lose your driving license hes joking of course. But for someone who researches accidents for a living well. You are here thats more like it you are. Right. He laughed speed hes german after all but lets get serious again what does crashing higher speeds actually mean. The frog in the formula for Kinetic Energy velocity has a quadratic effect that means that an increase of just 10 k. Me creates proportionally a much higher amount of energy and heat so even driving just a little bit faster greatly increases the risk of life changing injuries worse studies estimate that every extra kilometer per hour pushes the number of crashes by 4 percent but it is also true that there are other countries that have a speed limit in place and people die from on the planet just look at the Czech Republic the United States and italy for example but the u. K. And denmark also have speed limits and fewer deaths but. The problem is that these statistics are fairly comparable because of so many variables. Types of vehicles and visibility. One thing is for sure germanys kind of street does not want a general speed limit it pushes the sales pitch tested like a drug to all you people outside germany who want to drive mine lonely fast cars and still feel safe. Feel safe until you dont. Any weakling can drive a 250 cam h i think he means me but even for good drivers things can go sideways very fast zuki things change must come this is so i think we need a speed limit that most people would accept and i think that would be a 150 kilometers an hour that were still hours to get from a to b. As fast as possible most people dont go faster than that anyway. The growing concern for the environment and the shift to electric might get germany to a speed limit a little bit faster maybe even quicker than the u. S.
