Protests continue in Port Au Prince haitians vent their anger over the death of a prominent lawyer. Donald trump is again pushing his message that people shouldnt trust voting by mail ahead of novembers u. S. President ial election for a 2nd night in a row he suggested they also head to a polling station to ensure their ballots been counted legal experts warn trumps advice could lead to people breaking the law alan fischer begins our coverage. 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 jeb you 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 his 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 meal 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 s 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 meryl 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 us is at the most 0. 0009 percent own fishing ill just see it in Washington Well as we mentioned trump push that message again at an event in pennsylvania heres what he had to say. Sign here maryland now ok you sign it and send it in and then you have to follow it. And a final action day or early voting that is not tabulated and counted you know vote and then a for some reason after that it should take that long it comes in theyre not going to be able to tabulate it because you will avert it but you have to make sure your vote counts because the only way theyre going to beat us is by doing that kind of stuff im trying to be nice. Well chris adelson is an assistant professor of government at the American University he says trumps comments are dangerous and could get his voters into legal trouble. I think what the president is doing not just here in this this action but other ones as well sending a clear message is voters he said in the clip you just play it if i lose President Trump is saying it means that the election was rigged and hes laying the groundwork hes doing something very dangerous by suggesting to voters that they should vote twice which is a crime its happened before after the 2016 election a woman in iowa who of trump supporter believe that trump was telling her the election was rigged so she voted twice to try to test that apparently was prosecuted in place guilty to a felony so its dangerous for voters but its even more dangerous for our system because i think its supporters are going to believe the only way he can do is if its rigged teachers told them that. But i think also what really makes sense right now although i want happen sadly is both republicans and democrats in Congress Need to stand up and reject what the president is saying republicans need to say there is you dont need to vote twice its illegal to have it twice theres no rigging in the election if the president loses there is no evidence that hes going to lose in a way that is illegitimate the president is trying to undermine the election and this is not a partisan issue i would like to see republicans stand up and say that at this point sadly i know they wont i guess perhaps we can hope that maybe republicans who are not currently serving in congress some of whom of interest joe biden because of these concerns about the president maybe at least they will stand up and tell people the president is doing something very dangerous here Donald Trumps president ial rival has taken a totally different approach while visiting the city thats become the new focus of racism in the u. S. Trump counted himself as the law and order president and didnt mention the name of jacob blake who was shot in the back 7 times by a white policeman in can i was shot while joe biden spoke with blake and his family john hendren some of the democratic nominees visit to the wisconsin city. Seizing a moment that erupted into a movement joe biden came to know should you do what President Trump did not want us to 2 days after trump stumped in can osha to tell law and order the democratic president ial nominee spoke on the phone to jacob blake the 29 year old man left paralyzed by Police Bullets he talked about how nothing was going to defeat him. Or they want to get or not he was not going to give up and he expressed sympathy in a meeting with blakes family to were able to have some things that could be the building of a platform that we could take to African American people and say this is what theyre going to do the 1st day they get in the white house if they do those things will support them all over whats the difference between him and a man who sits in that office no he never said on nephews may not one day not one second. Biden said it was the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville Virginia that prompted him to run for president finally now getting to the point. Were going to be interesting your original sin. Of this country. 400 years old you see original sin slavery. You know all the vestiges of it i can guarantee you everything so much more years but i guarantee one thing. I mean a whole heck of a lot better but his was a centrist message of compassion and also you can oh shes Business Owners and police coping with days of arson and looting he offered condemnation of violence in a promise to pursue rioters so were gonna see how angry you are if you lutie you burn you should be held accountable as someone who dug into the house. This stump marked a dramatic contrast to trumps appearance here on tuesday when he declined even to say jacob blakes name condemned demonstrators and then cited clearly with police must give far greater support to a Law Enforcement its all about giving them Additional Support these are great people wisconsin is a crucial battleground state one that trumped one by the slimmest of margins in 2016 that year Hillary Clinton was widely criticized for failing to visit the state it was bidens 2nd Campaign Stop since the Democratic National convention in august bidens visit to this crowd notion church comes ahead of a series of midwestern Campaign Stops focusing on swing states including wisconsin its meant to draw a contrast to President Trumps do.

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.
