The family of jacob blake a black man shot by police. A push to ease tensions between greece and turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean but greece denies its ready to sit down for talks. And protests continue in Port Au Prince haitians vent their anger over the death of a prominent lawyer. Here as President Donald Trump has backtracked on his suggestion that voters should try to cast their ballots twice in the vendors election which is of course deemed illegal in an abrupt u. Turn trump then tweeted 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 more postal votes will lead to white spread fraud as 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 on lawful 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 job related 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 him 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 rhetoric on this issue 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. Oh and fish in washington. Well lets get more now from rosalynn joints and she joins me live from arlington in virginia. Currently speaking at an event in pennsylvania has he taken the opportunity to clarify those controversial remarks. Well at least not in the last 5 minutes or so from what i can tell he is just wrapping up his remarks and as best as i know he did not address the matter of people trying to vote twice which is illegal across the United States in any election not just the president ial election what donald trump did do during most of this speech was one attack joe biden the democratic nominee basically accusing him of not having all of his mental faculties and not being fit for office he also talked about the rumors in recent days that he may have suffered a series of mini strokes in late 2019 and donald trump again disavowed those rumors he also spent considerable time criticizing the protesters who have taken to the streets against racism and against Police Brutality in this country conflating ves protesters with members of the socalled anarchist groups who logs in force but experts say show up in communities where there are demonstrations in order to stir up trouble and he spent a lot of time basically saying that these protesters are tools of what he called the far left people within the Democratic Party who basically want to turn the United States inside out and deny people the right to live in the america which he said that his supporters feel that they should be living and so there was a lot of rhetoric there were wise but as far as i can tell there werent any direct comments about the suggestion that people might try to steal the november election by voting twice or more times if they can get away with it ok rosalynn joins in their live from Arlington Virginia thank. Well democratic president ial candidate joe biden is in the city over can i wish it was scones and which has become the new focus of the National Debate on systemic racism hit Sensitive Community Church Meeting and met with the family of jacob blake the unarmed black man who was shot 7 times in the back by a white Police Officer last month without sheets and led to days of sometimes violent protests against racism and Police Brutality binds appearance comes just 2 days after a visit by the president it did not meet with the family were in a situation now where we cannot let up we cant 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 to be treated most. Say its not worth it all marketable 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. Is the only answer. Well ask a life that can ocean wisconsin where we can join john henson and john youve been following byington zf is it said to the tide has that visit gone so far. Well biden was largely well received by the mostly supportive audience who came outside the scene of where he was speaking but you heard him there say that violence in any form was wrong this is what hes talking about these are cars in a car lot that have been smashed with baseball bats and sledge hammers and there have been buildings that have been burned out as well and what biden is doing there is delivering this centrist message that while he is in favor of some of the Police Reforms that the people of black lives matter advocating he also was against violent demonstrations and. Counter donald trump you could see some enthusiasm here among the people in ocean that is to counter Donald Trumps message that hes just a tool of radical leftists and lawlessness biden also offered sympathy for the family of jacob blake he met with them in milwaukee several members and afterwards we spoke to the uncle of Jacob Blake Justin blake and he said the day that family was largely supportive of biden and what he was trying to do this is a little of what he had to say. When a supporter of any candidate at this point thats going to bring us some tangible things back to the Africanamerican Community that built this country that means we need money we need resources we need education and for before anything we need to work on reforming the police maybe not. Given him so much money that theyve been having take some of that money put it into communities that are hurting so bad where poverty is so long. It will make a ton of all we have to do both we respect Police Officers ok we dont we dont respect the police off did come to our neighborhoods and abuse our people. Just in blake also said that the family preferred biden to the current occupant of the white house because 2 days ago donald trump came here to an ocean and he didnt once mention the name of jacob blake now another reason that biden came here is hes the 1st democratic nominee to come to wisconsin since june 2012 and Barack Obama Hillary clinton failed to do that in 2016 and she lost that election by the narrowest of margins joe biden needs wisconsin he doesnt want that to happen and that may be one of the reasons he came here in person instead of simply calling a family a 2nd time on the phone john hendren there live for us and can thank you 7 Police Officers have been suspended after fitzy you was released of the death of a black man who appeared to be in a state of mental distress at the time of his arrest protesters rallied and brought chester in new york state demanding to know why no action had been taken in the 5 months since danielle diets in march police were called to respond after a man was seen running naked in the streets and under the influence of drugs officers held him face down on the grain for more than 2 minutes stops breathing and never regained consciousness.

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 so a key is welcome the initiative the greys says there will be no talks unless turkey withdraws its ships from speeded areas John Psaropoulos is 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 complection 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 great 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.

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 by chilean rescuers on wednesday nights responses to a scent from the site of a collapsed building in beirut of our brigade workers said a pole swings detected around 2 meters below the surface of the rubble the building completely collapsed as a result of the blast the reports say a hunter has more on the search for survivors in beiruts. 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. 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 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 do much in the aftermath of the port 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 date has been sets for the United States formal withdraw from the World Health Organization President Donald Trump already signaled the move saying the w. H. O. Had failed in its response to covert 19 the state Department Says u. S. Involvement with the organization will end in july next year the statement says the u. S. Is looking for alternative partners to carry out the work that the w. H. O. Was doing brazil has registered more than 4000000. 00 confirmed cases of covert 19 according to official Government Data nearly 125000 people have died in the worlds 2nd largest outbreak and there is some of that there are some indications that things could be improving last week the average daily death toll dropped below 900. 00 per day for the 1st time in 3 months well lets get more now from manual republic joins us from mexico city atlanta will brazil has had a grim but perhaps predictable milestone. Well run through the latest data from Brazils Health ministry very briefly as of thursday evening the number of confirmed killed in 1000 cases was 4041638 compared to anywhere else in the world only the United States has a higher number of confirmed cases of corona virus than brazil i dont think anybody could have imagined months ago a figure this high more than 4000000 confirmed cases it has to at this point represent somewhere close to 2 percent of brazils population and for anyone watching these cases continue to rise in brazil a sort of looking at peppers illicit sort of nightmare situation when it comes to contagion in in the region it may seem like bad news but as you mentioned it could be an indicator that things are improving we look at the contagion rate the daily death rate over the course of the past few weeks just last week as you mentioned the daily death rates dropped below 900. 00 per day thats still a horrifying number of especially compared to countries in the rest of the region but again it could be an indicator that finally brazil is starting to climb down from that plateau of contagion that is sort of characterized the country as that nightmare scenario for contagion in the latin America Region and meanwhile in mexico where you are medical workers appear to be hit particularly hard by this time demick. Thats right in mexico according to a report by Amnesty International the number of confirmed medical workers that have died is 1320 thats higher than the United States thats higher than any other country in the world and this alarming rate of contagion among medical workers in mexico is actually a story that we have been following very closely here on al jazeera for months medical workers and Health Sector workers have been protesting over a lack of protective equipment or p. P. E medical workers weve spoken to nurses and doctors who have complained about a lack of a lack of staffing in hospitals a lack of sanitation protocols at the hospitals that they work at a lack of test testing nationwide all of which has contributed to that high rate of contagion among medical workers and we should mention mexico is 2nd only to brazil in latin america when it comes to cohabit 19 deaths and much like brazil mexicos leadership mexicos president and this man is up is over the lot has been heavily criticized widely criticized for taking what could be characterized as a very relaxed approach to the containment efforts against 1000 outbreak here in mexico and joining us that from mexico city thank you. The kremlin is rejecting accusations that russia is responsible for the poisoning of Opposition Leader alexina vall make germany says it has unequivocal proof that he was poisoned with a nerve with chalk nerve agent chancellor Angela Merkel said the poisoning might say attempted murder or honestly 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 for all men there 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 assets are provided both to 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 there is no proof and if you will the 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 north 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.
