Hello im down in jordan this is out there at live from doha also coming up nato warns russia are against meddling in belarus as president putin promises troop support of protests get out of control the. Search and rescue operations are underway after one of the strongest storms to hit the u. S. Batters southern louisiana thus. Anger in argentina over a government plan to reform the judicial system critics say itll be used to protect the political elite. Democratic Vice President ial candidate commissaries has delivered a preemptive strike on donald trump just hours ahead of his speech to the Party Faithful that the Republican National convention harris condemned trumps response to the coronavirus pandemic and addressed the unrest over the Police Shooting of jacob blake saying america must fulfill the promise of equal justice the reality is that the life of a black person in america has never been treated as fully human. And we have yet to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law well earlier trump praised the National Guards efforts to quell protests in the city of can osha suggested the same approach should be used in other cities like portland and as the president prepares to make his speech from the white house not some just a couple of hours from now black lives matter protesters have gathered nearby in the hope of drowning him out well lets go live now to our White House Correspondent kimberly how get kimberly so the democrats have clearly thrown the cats amongst the pigeons on trumps big night out how is blasting trump over the pandemic and racial divisions tell us a bit more about what she said. Yeah the democratic Vice President ial nominee come on harris is free bottle if you will was very strong in terms of how she eviscerated donald trump and his platform his record in the white house so far particularly when it comes to his handling of cope with 19 that has cost the lives of more than 180000 americans and resulted in millions of americans losing their jobs she may said that the early missteps made by the president resulted in so many lost lives she also said he doesnt seem to understand the presidency that its all about him and as a result there is a disregard for the American People instead of worrying about their health and safety a pandemic is unforgiving. If you get it wrong at the beginning the consequences are catastrophic and its very hard to catch up you dont get a 2nd chance at getting it right well president. He got it wrong from the beginning and then he got it wrong again and again so it can be all eyes then on trumps official acceptance speech later tonight presumably we can expect him to go on the offensive against biden in the house whats he like to say. Yeah absolutely that is already being set up on the south lawn of the white house behind me where were told there are hundreds of people already gathering not Wearing Masks even though we are in the midst of a pandemic we expect these people listening to the president s speech to be sitting shoulder to shoulder now in the midst of all this outside the white house the protests are also forming we know that many people have traveled around the United States hundreds are expected even potentially thousands the goal is to try and drown out the president as he except his partys nomination and we can tell you that the security is high for this speech there is a perimeter fence all around the white house campus now in terms of what the u. S. President is expected to say we are watching very carefully to see if he will mention the name of shake a leg that is the 29 year old man who was killed in wisconsin a black man that was killed by a white Police Officer up till now the Republican Party has mostly spoken broadly about social unrest it was said and also on the west coast of the United States so democrats are challenging him to say his name and that is something we are watching for as well we are expecting the president hit back hard against the statements made by the democratic Vice President ial nominee with respect to cope with night scene particularly challenging joe biden for his socalled strategy of republicans which they say amounts to nothing more than hiding in his basement hell also challenge the former Vice President on his record in office not hitting back against china and also whether or not he has what it takes to create the jobs and bring this economy back all right secondly how could they in washington d. C. Can be able to catch up with you throughout the night of course thank you for thats well clyde wilcox is a professor of government at Georgetown University he says we should expect the gap between republicans and democrats to narrow. I think that it will be time for the violence in these protests to disappear that does definitely play into trumps hands he had been wanting to may have surely protest and saying this is what will happen by us mere of course its actually happening from severe so the crimes argument is essentially a little you can save from whats going on during my presidency but the law and order argument is about is best argument at this point we would expect the gap to narrow a little because republicans seeing a Republican Convention or attempting to come back to their candidate theres a lot of republicans out there endorsement by in their hearts a lot of republicans want to vote for their own party but Hillary Clinton was a very unpopular candidate joe bidens actually very likable very popular and donald trump was right he wont promises look what im going to do im going to make his great you know for your show he will be a little harder for him to close and yet the real threat in this election is are we going to get all the votes is there going to be irregularities in delivering the mail ballots and thats what that for hundreds of federal and regional troops are patrolling the u. S. City of can osha after several nights of violent protest spot by the shooting of a black man how about theres been relative calm on thursday activists all pushing for charges against the officer who opened fire on jacob blake the 29 year old was shot 7 times in the back as he opened his car door on sunday the incident led to protests across several city its 2 people who were shot dead during demonstrations in kind of shot on tuesday a 17 year old suspect has been arrested and charged lets go live now to john hendren hes in kind of said john so Major National guard and Police Reinforcements was sent into kind of last night tell us whats been happening there today john. Well there an 8 is 7 oclock local time and that means its curfew weve all gotten the notices on our phones and as you can see behind me there are still dozens of protesters there were more doing a march a little while ago but theyve shown an absolute determination to violate the curfew every night and tonight appears like it will be no different now last night was the 1st night where we had real massive reinforcements of both federal troops and police from other agencies coming here into town and at 7 oclock last night you saw an armored personnel carrier pull into that park behind me as kind of a warning sign letting people know the curfew has begun its time for you to go and then later they got more aggressive and theyve been doing that over the past couple of nights but every single night this week except wednesday into thursday. There was massive looting fires said a couple nights ago 3 dozen fires were responded to by firefighters but this morning when people woke up they learned that that didnt happen overnight that things had changed rather significantly whether that will continue we dont know well find out in the coming hours and john reports that this teenager has not been charged with 1st degree murder following the deaths of those 2 protest as well can you tell us. Thats right Kyle Rittenhouse is a 17 year old earlier today we heard that he was charged with murder and now those charges have been increased that hes been charged with 2 counts of 1st degree intentional homicide or murder and a raft of other charges including in danger in the public and interestingly possession of a dangerous weapon under the age of 18 so while we have liberal weapons laws here here in the United States you still cant go out in public with an assault weapon as he did on that night the video that weve all seen on. The internet or many of us anyway shows him or what police say is him on the ground apparently after a scuffle with protesters then getting up in firing into the crowd killing 2 people and injuring one who is expected to recover and thats caused a lot of upset not just out here among protesters or across the country but among the icons of American Sports the National Basketball association postponed all 3 of its playoff games on wednesday night because the players wanted not to play in solidarity with the protesters that similar boycotts happened with Major League Baseball the womens National Basketball association and the National Hockey league and that makes it not just something that affects sports here in the u. S. That makes it a cultural phenomenon is obviously become something that has spread across the nation here you had Jesse Jackson here earlier today demanding the arrest in charges against the officers involved in the shooting of jacob blake we are told by the way also by his father that as he lies in a hospital bed paralyzed from those Police Bullets he is handcuffed to that bed all right john hendren there live for us and kind of show wisconsin john thank you now the head of nato ponens Prime Minister russia not to meddle in the crisis in belarus it comes up about a minute putin sent his clearest signal yet that hes ready to use force to support the bill or russian president putin said it was a police force has been set up to help Alexander Lukashenko but will only be deployed if the unrest spins out of control theyve been mass protests across the country since the shank of the committed another overwhelming victory in the election just over 2 weeks ago thousands of opponents have been detained and on wednesday more than 30 journalists were arrested but boy is from the Massachusetts Institute of technology and is originally from belarus she says russian involvement could take several forms. Indirect help from russia is indeed the whats likely scenario so for instance. Russia could in full continue to contribute to the spread of misinformation about the protests it could keep signaling because one of the the signals is that again targeting the protesters was a warning that had if that may be the best outcome for them is to go home and prevent russian intervention. I believe in direct support assurance to a question assurance to the Security Forces of bell roost might be some of the approaches russia could take what is most recent statement as a warning so this is a warning that is pro really signaling to the e. U. To stay away signaling to broader stairs to stay away and i believe that you know that if that came as a statement the deployment is likely only produce spin out of control is an important element certainly. Would create the illusion that sings a spinning out of control but that is also perhaps not in his interest. Time for a short break here and aljazeera when we come back.

States of louisiana and texas have been battered by one of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the region again nora made landfall in the early hours of thursday morning as a category 4 at least 4 people were killed and hundreds of thousands are without power at a gallop i reports. The sheer power of hurricane laura left a wide trail of destruction through louisiana the storm didnt bring the un survivable tidal surges forecasters predicted but the damage is severe neighboring Southeast Texas escaped the worst of lloris 240 kilometer per hour winds but more than half a 1000000 in both states without power as the storm steam rolled through louisiana it ripped facades off buildings down telephone poles and left in massive cleanup for those that rode the storm out its pretty bad i mean you can its really right around the corner there the whole garage is small.

Was likely based on the forecasts we had last night but. We have sustained a tremendous amount of damage we have thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens whose lives are upside down. Because their businesses and or their homes have been damaged a massive search and rescue operation is now underway those who were evacuated was sent to hotels to avoid a potential spiking cases of the coronavirus its clear that hurricane laura could have been much worse but nonetheless the lives of hundreds of thousands of people have been impacted industries been damaged homes lay in ruins and a full recovery could take months president says he plans to visit the region in the coming days now it turned out we got a little bit lucky it was very big it was very powerful but it passed quickly and so everythings on schedule will probably be going on saturday or sunday and will be heading to texas and louisiana and maybe an additional 6 louisiana has already been hit hard by the coronavirus with a 145000 confirmed cases now they do.
