Reforms to tackle an economy in tatters and sectarian tensions a new Prime Minister is appointed as europes and. Basque always but for how much longer as belgians go back to school and work a new study shows 70 percent of the people in flanders no longer support endemic guidelines look at whats behind corona 14 in belgium. Our brian todd was good to have you with us today President Trump is due later and. Taking his Reelection Campaign to a city torn by protests and violence since police shot and paralyzed a black man over a week ago on rest. American cities has become a top issue in this Election Campaign the president says he will protect americans while his challenger joe biden accuses them of stoking the violence. This was the scene in can osha just one week ago protesters clashed with police and set fire to cars and buildings as anger boiled over following the Police Shooting of jacob blake on august 23rd. The shooting triggered 3 nights of violent clashes in connote a nationwide protests video also emerged showing armed vigilante groups in the city with police appearing to support them last tuesday 2 of the protesters were shot dead and a 3rd one wounded the suspect a white vigilante. The 17 year old was caught on camera shortly before the attack armed with a semiautomatic rifle he tries to approach the police who merely tell him to leave hes now been charged with homicide local authorities called in the National Guard and imposed a nighttime curfew to regain control the unrest surrounding and he races in protest has taken center stage in the campaign for novembers president ial election with donald trump promising to restore law and order given the tensions on Community Leaders have asked the president not to visit. Try to try them all the. Time and thats not the best. Peaceful protests are still continuing every day in connection with some protesters leaving no doubt about their thoughts on the president ial visit. Or President Trump says hes the candidate best capable of keeping americans safe but democrats disagree and criticize his repeated use of aggressive language he was tackled on that issue in an interview on fox news have to be aggressive. Because im like standing here in a sea of incompetent people stupid people and violent people very violent thats the kind of language stupid you know that a lot of women dont like so they could well were all we were in the white house i say shes ok so im standing here in a sea of people and we need law and order in this country and women see that with me you never going to have law and order with. The dolls been looking into this going to peter i see again if President Trump has been framing joe biden as the candidate of chaos and violence to just be a strategy that will see him pull ahead in the polls and eventually went well i think its frankly a special you know coming back in may be when reelection. The reality is that trumps Approval Ratings are very low theyve been throughout his presidency but are dipping have dipped even further especially considering his handling of the krona crisis which been widely panned also his handling of the economy as you know he met with increasing greatest criticism so trump really needs to change the narrative and it looks like what hes doing is trying to take a page out of the you know nixon 68 Campaign Book where Richard Nixon was was stoking fear emmet you know a period of great civil unrest student protests Civil Rights Movement a lot of violence was a successful strategy was a very successful strategy exactly. Really needs to win back the suppers these were special place i can so they knew michigan and wisconsin that helped put put him over the top and put him in the white house. And you know that in 20182020 weve seen the suburbs tilting increasingly towards the democrats a lot of especially women voters have been very turned off by trying to find a tour reddick and so trump needs to stick to that strategy essentially to have any hopes of winning back the suburbs and it appears to be working somewhat support for black lives matter protests are dropping. More than a 20 point drop not just among republicans but also in the white suburban voters so it does appear to work ok those are big supporters would be along the white suburban voters lets take a look now and listen to what joe biden has been saying about. This president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he cant stop the violence because for years hes fallen on it you know he may believe malvina words law and order makes him strong. But it is fair you to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is. So what is in peters job im effectively saying here is that President Trump is in control of the counter protesters a good number of whom are of course armed and support him. Biden is senator also in that speech i think said President Trump has made america a more dangerous place you know but is trying to essentially also say you know all of this is happening on trumps watch not just the pandemic but also the racial unrest that were witnessing right now and so he has also had that protest or that rally do you really feel safer under donald trump. We know that a lot of these right wing counter protests a lot of them are have more nationalist right wing leanings that they are ardent from supporters trump has not been particularly good if at all you know condemning these groups we saw that not just in can no show not just in portland but also 2017 in charlottesville with the big right wing rally that led to the death of a. Of a counter protester where trump ultimately said you know there were very fine people on both sides thats a response that hes been very much criticized for that biden said effectively was his reason to get into the campaign in the 1st place and biden instead is running on the strategy of you know he wants unite the country want to heal the wounds that have grown deeper over the past 4 years that was also very much the message thats also an interesting Convention President is stayed out of everything up until now hes this is this position as as the citys burned he was criticized for letting them burn yeah yeah you know exactly mean also because a lot of these cities are run by democrats and so you is that this helps or right if this is happening on democrats watch obviously that proves his point. The problem d is you know a majority of americans approve of bidens message we saw that in polling coming out of the convention they disapprove of the republican message at the end of the day the ultimate lead thats not whats going to decide the election most likely it is what is happening in the suburbs if this message of stoking fears in the suburbs will help you know trump regain those voters that means that biden is looking a very uphill battle going to peter to see if there is so much for that thank you.

This is date of illness still to come on our program we look at how a bird harvest is giving new meaning to all photos from colonial times. But 1st friends. But 1st french president among all micron is in the lebanese capital beirut for his 2nd visit since huge explosions devastated the city 4 weeks ago because it marks lebanons creation 100 years ago after 4 centuries of domination by the Ottoman Empire is pressing for sweeping reforms to tackle an economy in tatters and sectarian tensions here arrived shortly after the lebanese president asked the countrys former ambassador to berlin to form a new government alarm that has the backing of most Political Parties but what do the people think about. Our son after being designated Prime Minister mr for a deed took to the streets of beirut it was a brave move. Because much of the lebanese capital was reduced to rubble after thousands of tons of unstable chemicals exploded in the harbor nearly 4 weeks ago. The blast killed more than 200 people and destroyed what little was left of some peoples faith in the government. Had come to restore some of that trust. We will work hand in hand to rebuild what was destroyed. Now. And then once we form a new government we will accelerate the investigation and the result and that will be made public as soon as possible. That the Public Relations exercise was met with an angry response by many in the explosion was only the latest disaster blamed on the government a government that indeed is part of the economy is in deep recession the currency in freefall corruption and mismanagement have wrecked basic services to be a man has yet to commit if the government protestors subsided when the coronavirus hits only to flare up again after the blast. I mean how do i know youre not one of the people you are a member of the ruling elite shouts one woman we do not recognize you. Confronted with the rage pulsing through the capital the new Prime Minister beat a hasty retreat from the crowds chanting revolution. Lets go straight to beirut now d. W. Correspondent basile a really good day to you we just saw there on your new Prime Minister getting a very angry response where you are in beirut given the situation hes in right now can he form a stable government. This is the main challenging task for the new designated Prime Minister since ever since many of his left last 3 decades the main challenging question you got for that face any Prime Minister is how to form a new government especially with all these different sects and different Political Parties he promised that he would form a government made of experts which means to the point of distraction with the trench initiative so this is the main question but most of the current major Political Parties and 6 to present the sectarian parties and lebanon announce and does ignite. As a Prime Minister. Present trawlers in beirut of course today marking a 100 years of independence from ottoman rule and hes going these calls for political reform but what can he do. In his in his 2nd visit in less than a mont to beirut is going to meet the Political Parties and hes going to urge them to for your government to break its quick and quick way as previous one that was somewhat it took 11 months to be formed so hes pushing harder to form a new government in a very short time and to implement the reforms one of the main economy kwans which made old beast economy situation and falling state. And so on the top of that its the Electricity Sector which goes to do you mean hes actually i dont 50 percent of the national debt. Looking at the situation basile or what what do the people expect from france do they think that the french leader that the country of france can help lebanon get back on these. There bet on that specially that the relation by that relation between lebanon and france back to at the very long time its a historical one and they called france the god mother this is the story can issue thats why they count on prance under my arm off in search to put out depression on the political elites and rulers and a bit on to go forward into reforms and distress yesterday when he met some of these protesters that he would urge and he would continue pushing forward to form a government made of experts with no link of any one of them with corruption so sure that one talk about corruption in lebanon we talked about tons of fights and cases related to corruption issues ok that is a big issue for the country right now well see how this this all goes about thanks so much that they were thank you. Apologists are warning that the Worlds Largest breeding colony of african penguins is a risk to see ships revealing your their habitat off the coast of south africa or spilling oil into the ocean due to cost cutting measures the government shipping companies insisted those practices are in fact safe.
