And the man convicted for overseeing torture for cambodias cmere rouge regime has died. Thanks for joining us its a visit officials in the u. S. State of wisconsin didnt want to happen but President Donald Trump ignored their pleas and went to the city of can osha its been the site of protest since police shot a black man called jacob blake 7 times in the back a week ago and during his trip trying to double down on his law and Order Campaign message as john hendren reports. The rubble is still piled high in the streets of can no ship buildings boarded in tempers flaring President Donald Trumps arrival in this battered city pitted his hardcore supporters against the demonstrators protesting the shooting of another black man by police. He came to praise police but must give far greater support to a Law Enforcement its all about giving them additional support. These are great people he came to condemn protesters these are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror and he came to take credit once they responded and once we took you know control of that things when really in the 2 hour tour the president declined to say the name of jacob blake the black man now paralyzed from Police Bullets the officer responsible he said just show you and you have people to joke theyre under tremendous i said it yesterday i said it last night theyre under tremendous pressure he left the city more divided than ever his supporters on one side but want to show support for him arriving as well as show support for. Victimized. Loot and murder. Stands for in the protesters of black lives matter on the other its effect seen a spike in my system since donald trump came to office this is a fact its totally out of control right now its totally out of control americans are fighting americans everybody talking about civil unrest and the next war this is our country. There is also a 3rd group who gathered at a spot sacred to them to reflect on what happened when Group President didnt meet with the blake family they preferred to be here at the scene where jacob blake was shot among supporters to trump blakes family said simply stay away to the demonstrators they called for more protests and more peace were not matted you want to stand your anger and upset and we could see why you would want to burn some guy who asked you not to that 1st that you put up an anchor were asking to raise up high and unity to come or go with the blacks were going to make some big changes that affect all the little jakes over. Many in this divided city believe there is still hope of unity once again. Just little evidence of it any time soon john hendren aljazeera can no she was conscious. Lets discuss this with Scott Roberts is a senior director of criminal justice campaigns for color of change joining us live from washington thanks for your time with us on aljazeera Scott Roberts lets 1st talk about can ocean what do you make of the president dodging the question while he was there on whether he believes systematic racism is a problem in the u. S. And instead he focused his message on law and order. Yeah i think its really unfortunate you know the president has traveled. By the auspices of dealing with the crisis there but he refuses to acknowledge what sparked this crisis he would rather focus on. What really. Property destruction and even rarer. It says an actual person to person violence. That happened any part of protests around the country that focus on the crisis the vast majority of the country has recognized sense suffer. And this is the death of george floyd that we have a real problem with policing. A quote from Martin Luther king jr thats a little bit overused right now. But it says. Riots are the voice of the ontario and i think the president. Is a quintessential example of a leader who lacks the kind of basic. Human decency you know what a part of which is empathy the ability to hear understand and relate to the plight of others and i think it was on full display when you can go to some place like that not meet with the family the president said that he wouldnt be with the family because they had requests to have a lawyer there right. Know you right ok you know you mentioned the issue of policing just a moment ago i mean this issue of. Policing the policing system and Police Brutality has really been thrust into this into the spotlight recently and i know this is something that you work on in your organization color of change so how do you transform that conversation how do you keep that conversation Going Forward and actually transform it into real change. I think we are going to have to have systemic changes and thats what i was you know going to say about the family and whatever lawyer there i think its a clear indicator that they wanted to have a conversation about systemic change you know knowing who their attorneys are represented by its mccraw who has not only represented many of these families but has you know where the charge on the demanding system changes. I think for us a priority is. Reimagining what Public Safety looks like the president. Today said that he will. Think he rattled off about. 55. Of our front 45. 00 plus 1000000. 00 in money that theyre giving to prosecutors to policing and we really need to be if were making an investment in Public Safety we should be reimagining what that looks like and thinking out the box of just policing we have invested year after year billions billions of dollars. In policing and getting more police getting more equipment in and getting more technology. But we really need the best in our solutions where the solutions that communities that they think with safety i think if you asked unity but theyre not looking for is for policing theyre looking for ways of preventing violence and the Wisconsin Legislature had an opportunity we were making we called the one that was passing legislation along with many partners. Additional including professional athletes called for them to pass a 25000000. 00 investment in violence prevention and other Community Best of the black community that we all make our Community Safer so we think we have to try to divest from this continual. Investment in policing and Law Enforcement and frankly the prison system and invest into the communities that are. Hardest hit both. For Community Violence rights and. Some police all right well have to leave it there Scott Roberts thank you for your time and for joining us on aljazeera. Thank you now police in los angeles has shot and killed a black cyclist 29 year old does john kizzy was shot more than 20 times in the back as he tried to get away from officers the family Attorney Says he was stopped for a bicycle code violation Sheriffs Department says officers opened fire after they saw a handgun in his bag.

There have been more protests in lebanons capital this time coinciding with a visit by french president Emmanuel Mccraw police fired tear gas to disperse crowds outside parliament in beirut there have been widespread calls for political change on my cross threatening sanctions of that doesnt happen fast enough zain 100 reports from beiruts. Projecting influence and power its another landmark visit by the french president Manuel Mccraw who was here less than a month ago he has taken the lead in responding to lebanons economic and political crisis made worse by the explosion at beiruts port mccraw came back with the same message officials need to tackle corruption and reform state structures to get International Financial assistance this time however he talked about a timetable and consequences macross said lebanons leaders promised the government of experts in 2 weeks and that he expected the government to start delivering on a road map of reforms within 6 to 8 weeks. I think sanctions can come at the right moment if it is necessary and in the manner of sanctions policy done when actions have proven but not necessarily just in the political framework the sanctions mechanisms can also be activated when we see illegal activities which can be military or terrorism related financial the french president who has repeatedly denied that hes interfering in the countrys internal affairs chose to return on a symbolic day 100 years ago the state of greater lebanon was proclaimed by the french mandate authorities he also chose when to meet officials after a packed schedule in what was seen a political message. Actions. Are clearly very. Nature theres a clear power dynamic there and theres a. Sense of what any pressure on the somebody is. Frances influence in lebanon which has long been used as an International Playground waned over the years there are 2 main players now rivals United States and iran what do i think. The message war. Between the us and. I can. Should. People return to the streets they dont believe the mainly sectarian leaders will agree to change that would weaken their power and they blame france for backing the new Prime Minister who they say is a product of the system weve tested this recipe over the past 30 years we havent checked that president that you know its like the same recipe now again protesters demanded an end to corruption and a new leadership for months they had hoped when mcauliffe 1st visited lebanon soon after the baby good for the explosion on august the 4th thinking the International Community would help them topple a Political Class in power for decades. They arent giving up as lebanon marks 100 years since its birth people here say a nation independent of a corrupt Political Class and outside intervention has yet to be born. Beirut colombia has lifted its 5 month coronavirus lockdown as cover 1000. 00 cases begin to stabilize the government now wants to fix a struggling economy and this on a sunday the reports from bogota that means opening up for business. For the 1st time in more than 5 months airport has reopened to National Travelers under Strict Health protocols just a few flights are being allowed to each day but for the lucky passengers its a reason to rejoice like a bet divided guess who was about to board a flight to visit despair ensues natives battling for the 1st time since march seem more emotional.

But with the number of daily infections still stubbornly high the relatively cautious reopening seems justified look a story that what were seeing in colombia is that after a long time of gradual but consistent growth in infections we have reached a point where it seems leg virus has finally stopped growing its remaining constant to managing expectation that the curve will start to descend. The government is counting on people to keep wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing in this new phase but whats clear is that for many getting back on their feet will take years even if the fight to beat the virus succeeds i listen to them and just say you know what.
