In the Eastern Mediterranean but the priest denies its ready to sit down for talks. Be called on russia to investigate this in a transparent and gentlemen there. And the e. U. Pounds the pressure on russia as the kremlin rejects german allegations that opposition figure alexina valmy was poisoned. Us President Donald Trump has backtracked on his suggestion voters should try to cast their ballots twice in the vendors election which is deemed illegal in an abrupt u. Turn from 10 tweets its urging people to send ballots early by mail and then visit the polling station on election day to check if their postal vote was registered the u. S. President has been insisting without evidence that war. Postal votes and will lead to widespread fraud once alan fischer reports. After the president appeared to our 2 supporters in North Carolina to break the law and vote twice the defense from the podium of the White House Briefing room the president does not condone unlawful voting by the president s been very clear about this some once again not surprised the media taking the president out of context president s trying to enfranchise americans which is exactly what hes been saying he wants every american to have a vote the president himself tried helping with the cleanup he posted a series of tweets where he told voters to go to their polling places after sending in their 1000000 ballots to make sure their vote had been counted the contriver see erupted during a president ial campaign visit to North Carolina he said people wanted about Election Fraud should vote twice let him send it in and let him go vote and if this isnt as good as they say it is then obviously there will be able to vote if it isnt debby later theyll be able to vote so thats the way it is intentionally voting twice is a crime something officials in North Carolina pointed out in a statement he said attempting to vote twice in an election or soliciting someone to do so also is a violation of North Carolina law there are numerous checks in place in North Carolina that prevent people from double voting attorney general william barr was asked during an interview on american t. V. To respond to trumps comments the governments top lawyer said he didnt know the election laws in every state but added without evidence that widespread vote by mail is very open to fraud and coercion is reckless and dangerous and people are playing with fire. President trump has often claimed that mail in voting will be used to rob them of the election one expert whos looked into 1000000 voting says theres new evidence to support the president allegations in the past when when politicians have debated election laws its been its been intense but its not been to the level of vitriol and certainty behind the statements that we see the president and his allies making about male its its a real stark divide between the evidence and the rhetoric on this issue that theres just such a wide gulf between the 2 the federal Election Commission says the idea of 1000000 fraud is a Conspiracy Theory thats backed up by a 2700 study which find the overall rate of voting fraud in the u. S. Is at the most 0. 0009 percent own fisher ill just read a washington. Well rosalynn jordan joins me now live from arlington in virginia and rosalynn strums just touched in pennsylvania holds a Campaign Event is it likely hell address this control vissi in his remarks. Its likely that the u. S. President donald trump will talk about his concerns about mail in voting or absentee voting talk about his ongoing fears of voter fraud because of ballots illegally being passed through mail and an absentee voting its a point that donald trump has been stressing for several months now part of a campaign according to his critics to deal with shit im on the november election and that is something that democrats are worried about theyre also worried about the fact that the confusion in the message coming not just from the president but from the attorney general william barr may confuse some people and perhaps induce them to not counted a ballot at all 3rd or in the weeks leading up to the election with the mail in or absentee ballot this is a situation that has them worried because the president has also raised the specter of democrats trying to steal the election something which most of political analysts say is unrealistic however once you put that seat out there or that trial balloon to use a political phrase it is really hard to put it back to knock it down to convince people that the voting process in state has integrity and that their votes will be counted in a timely fashion so we expect to hear the president talk about it in the event near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the next half hour or so hes only going to be there for about an hour or so on the ground and then hes coming right back here to the Washington Area for the night ok Rosalynn George and their line for is in Arlington Virginia thank you for night. Now the democratic president ial candidate joe biden is visiting the city over can ocean in wisconsin which has become the new focus of the National Debates on systemic racism has ended a Community Church meeting and met with the family of jacob bleak the arms black man who was shot 7 times in the back by a white Police Officer last month the shooting led to days of sometimes violent protests against racism and Police Brutality bidens appearance comes just 2 days after visits by the president s he did not meet with the family were in a situation now where we cannot let up we can have up beilenson any form wrong the one concern i have and i understand it is that people are going to be so frustrated particularly in the communities that need the help the most need between most. To say its not worth it at all mark of a guy was a very good friend of mine talked to him 2 days before he died John Morris John said. The only answer is the vote you see only yes well it is there is john hendren joins us now live from can i was in wisconsin john youve been covering joe bidens visit how is it going so far. Well he was you were widely received here hundreds of people were standing outside of that church and heard him there saying that violence of any kind is wrong and this is what he was talking about this is an Office Furniture store that has been completely torched you can see the i beam at the top it was so hot that it actually bent and meanwhile somebody has put some inspirational messages on there and if you look across the street is a car lot and people took sledge hammers in baseball bats and destroyed it looks like nearly every car in that lot and that was part of joe bidens centrist leaning message donald trump has often said that hes a tool of the radical left and he was trying to counter that image by saying today that violence is wrong and that people who committed violence during these protests should be prosecuted but there was also a message of sympathy for the family of jacob blake as a matter of fact he spoke to the 29 year old man who was shot 7 times on the phone for about 15 minutes during an hour long meeting with the blake family not far away from here in milwaukee and i spoke just a few minutes ago to Justin Blake Jacob blakes brother who said that if biden pursues the kinds of policies of Police Reform that hes talking about that the blake family will support him and he said we dont support the current president because he came here 2 days ago and he didnt even mention jacob blakes name one other point that we should note is that wisconsin is not only a swing state but joe biden is the 1st democratic nominee to come here since barack obama in 2012 Hillary Clinton never came here and she lost the state of wisconsin by a small margin joe biden doesnt want to lose this state and he knows if he denies it to donald trump hes got a much better chance of winning the president ial election in november and so that is one of the reasons why we may have seen joe biden come in person here rather than simply make another phone call to the blake family ok tone hadnt been and can osha thank you. 7 Police Officers have been suspended after a video was released of the death of a black man suffering a Mental Health crisis protesters rallies and wrote chester in new york state standing to know why no why action been taken in the 5 months since daniel prudes died in march police were called to respond after a man was seen running naked and under the influence of drugs officers who did him after he spat and said he had coronavirus then they held him face down on the ground for more than 2 minutes prince stopped breathing and never regained consciousness well his daughter says the Police Officers should be charged with his murder to see they have video and see my father in the state of helplessness where he was complying in was a given while your heart stand in need of help is statement is really taking a toll on me m.

The disturbia rochester to do better. Nato has announced that greece and turkey will hold talks to diffuse tension in the Eastern Mediterranean theyve been locked in an escalating disputes over Gas Exploration rights turkey has welcomed the initiative but gray says there will be no talks unless turkey withdraws ships from disputed areas. Organ stauffenberg says the following discussions with the greek and turkish leaders that syria allies have agreed to enter into technical talks at nato to establish mechanisms for military d. Confliction to reduce the risk of incidents and accidents in the Eastern Mediterranean he said greece and turkey are valued allies in nato is an important platform for consultations on all issues that affect shared security or johnson or purses more from athens where he says theres a lot of skepticism about the proposed talks. What nato is concerned with is not territorial nato is concerned with its allies not having a war within the alliance and what it is trying to do is to have these de confliction mechanisms put in place which would prevent accidents from happening on the understanding that neither greece nor turkey intend a war to happen but what has happened today in that process is simply that the 2 representatives of greece and turkey in nato were briefed on the secretary general young stoltenberg ideas towards such a deep complex process its taking place that meeting lasted 6 minutes according to greek diplomatic sources clearly more discussion is going to be needed before heads of government on both sides say that they are willing to proceed on the basis of those ideas so what the greek side has said is simply this that we know to the nato secretary general is good intentions to work towards the confliction mechanisms within nato but de confliction consists only in turkey withdrawing all of its ships from the greek Continental Shelf in other words greece will not enter into even these deacon collection talks with. Horses and survey ships on what it considers its Continental Shelf that greece considers would be to enter in a go sation on turkeys terms and it feels that nato is not being impartial in this matter Stephanie Deca has more from a sample on International Efforts to mediate between greece and turkey. That announcement by nato secretary general came shortly after a Conference Call a video call that was held with the turkish president also the foreign minister here and Senior Security officials with the german chancellor Angela Merkel of course germany has been key in trying to mediate between the 2 sides trying to get the 2 sides to start negotiations what you have now according to u. N. Stoltenberg an announcement saying that the 2 sides have agreed to start technical talks this has to do with a de confliction line if you will when it comes to their military assets in the Eastern Mediterranean because the sea is so heavily heavily militarized at the moment you have turkey continuing life fire exercises until september the 12th you have greeks military fleet you have other countries with a military fleet there as well so the potential for any accident if you will in such a tense time is very real so i think that move is of course a welcome move when it comes to deescalating that tension.

Rescue workers in lebanon are digging through rubble searching for possible survivors from last months explosion after scanners detected signs of life a sniffer dog used by chilean rescuers on wednesday nights responded to a sense from the site of a collapsed building in beiruts a Police Fire Brigade workers at a pulse was detected support 2 meters below the rubble the building completely collapsed as a result of the blast at the ports saying a hunter has more on the search for survivors and the routes. Were in a beirut neighborhood one of the neighborhoods that was badly damaged as a result of that explosion you can see the collapsed building behind me its been a month like weve been saying and only this morning a team from chile one of their dogs a search dog alerted to the possibility of a body underneath that rubble now weve spoken to a number of the team members here and what theyre saying is that their dogs as well as their machines because they brought advanced machines with detected 2 bodies one could be dead and the other could be alive because they detected respiratory cycle they said this morning 18 respiratory cycles in a minute now 10 respiratory cycles in a minute its very difficult to really know whether or not in fact there are body bodies underneath that rubble or if there is a survivor but its been a month and the rubble has not been cleared this is why the lebanese people are so upset with their with the government with the authorities because of their negligence because they really did not do much in the aftermath of the 4th explosion they didnt clear the streets they didnt help in repair work so now there is the possibility of a survivor but we understand at least a dead body. Lebanons army says it has finds more than 4 tons of Ammonium Nitrate reports thats the same highly explosive material that calls the explosion last month Army Engineers are reported to be dealing with it with no specific information given but port action is being taken. As have facts her top story now the u. S. President ial candidates and their back to back visits to the city of can or should wisconsin beset with process over the shooting over the cheek of blake joining us now is because her author and assistant professor of Political Science at Howard University joins us by skype from washington d. C. Very good to have you with us here and all to syria good to visit see very different approaches clearly being taken would you say that biden and trump are appealing to 2 separate americas well actually i think theyre trying to draw a very bright line between the 2 of them particularly for those who are not in. Their candidate i think donald trump took it and took it as a moment to make it a law or order candidate and i think joe biden has been trying to be the unity candidate engender strain that he had brain america together during his very difficult time but which candidates message which you see is actually hitting home drums law and order message or bidens attempt to be the the comforter in chief if you like i think it really depends on who your audience is i think donald Trump Supporters his message is very red in it and i think for those who are less inclined to be interested in donald trump that joe biden message is one that might be resonating or at the very least the one that they like the most i think you probably ask and oceans how they feel about it you probably get very different responses while lets talk about that because we are in the middle of a president ial race of course but for residents and can osha if theyre building set on fire and are witnessing these violent protests. I mean how do they feel about all of this because its more than just a president ial campaign for them after all this is their time. This is their community and i would say then i mean if theyre less bothered about the protests that some characterize as a ballot in more bother about the fact that this man was shot multiple times in the back and is now paralyzed i think the idea that politicians only want to control notion now and only care about these communities now is one day lisa a bit of pressure ration because once the cameras are gone and once things settle down and once the election is over will these people be back in the community and i think many people feel like no they wont but this is a great moment for them to look like they care about regular americans and just more generally how much of an impact do you think the events in kenosha are going to have on this divisive president ial race well i mean i think no she is one in a very long a lot of protests over this year i mean if you look at the anti or summer months between the protests around the death of a lot ari george floyd reality taylor i mean there just been protests on protests that i think jacob lake is just one is going to sort of marches into the fall i think people had this at the front of their mind because for me they view this as a battle for the soul of america and if america is that want to be responsive to the cries that it is in then i think they should expect more of this and it doesnt really matter whos in the white house at that point because its a great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us here on ill just sarah thank you so much.

The kremlin is rejecting accusations that russia is responsible for the poisoning of Opposition Leader alexina vuln a germany says it has on a quick critical proof he was poisoned with a novacek nerve agent chancellor Angela Merkel said the poisoning is attempted murder lawrence li reports. Now lying in a hospital bed in palin alexina valley has become the latest critic of the russian regime to have his life put on the line the German Government has made it clear he was poisoned by novacek in order to silence him and has demanded answers from moscow across much of the European Union the reaction has been the same be called on russia to investigate these in a transparent and thorough manner and its also in the interest of russia to provide answers to the questions because this type of. Chemical agent is not freely available it was used on the russian territory against the russian citizen so its very important that its thoroughly investigated and that the answers are provided both from the russian public and to the international the echoes of the poisonings of the former spy surrogates cripple and his daughter in the english city of seoul spree also by novacek only to clear the British Government has also condemned the attack on the valley but the response from the russian government has been identical in both cases theres no proof and if you want an investigation then let us help theres no chance of that russias one friend in all this inside europe is belarus where the beleaguered president looks around to putins aide accusing the German Government of making the whole thing up but the calls have begun once again to get russias attention properly by threatening to pull the plug on nord stream to the gas pipeline which will run from northern russia through germany to denmark yet for all the demands for a pan European Response countries like hungary whose Nuclear Power is underwritten by moscow will surely never agree if russia was responsible for the poisoning it also follows it is still not concerned what the repercussions might look like laurence li al jazeera.
