As welcome to the program 2 people have been shot dead and several others injured in kenosha wisconsin braces and demonstrators gathered for a 3rd night footage posted online shows water appears to be a civilian with a rifle firing shots when he tripped after being chased by demonstrators at least one person fell to the ground there were also read. Station. Police and demonstrators have been facing. The shooting by police on sunday of jacob like resident. Spoke to our correspondent stefan and he gave us this account whats been happening on the streets of join the night the police was largely successful to enforce the curfew for the 1st time in 3 nights. Pushing protesters down a main street when suddenly the french president as well as the protesters heard a burst of shots. And this was immediately identifiable as shot from a long gone 15 m. 16 type from a automatic weapon. Then a 2nd burst and then we saw protesters rushing to ward off and next week 2 of the police. Vans in an Armored Vehicles and screaming at the police for help and forcing them to give them to rush down to 18 which we have to say that also had not seen we have no we had no visible there that was too far away and it was too dark however what has transpired there according to witnesses we spoke is that a libertarian. Militia tried person the words. Failed threatened by protesters and shocked one protester in the head and as if for this is where a protester was delivered to the hospital which wasnt far away but. It looks like at the time to his injuries i also talked to witnesses who says there are more than 5 people who had actually shot but that is not confirmed confirmed as of now 3 people shot again not from police but these are civilians who is. Each other now. Through this this is really a surprise no it wasnt not for us probably not for many people in. Them because we had throughout the day more and more white people in camouflage with a ripe old. A r 15 m. 16 come out america rap and paint guns of all calibers from 9 millimeter the 45. 00 millimeter and so on. Flooding the streets and not in a confronted way towards the protesters but also not in a very. Nice way so they stayed separated. Reporting the lets get some perspective on this now from stacey from the u. S. Election team civilian shootings with similar automatic weapons on citizens i was supposed to make of this its really something thats unbelievable and as we were talking earlier this is something that i really feel this notion wisconsin is was like a 2nd home to me my cousins relocated there from the chicago suburbs and so i spent summers there in those streets playing and being free and going to church with my art and so its something thats really sad and activists are you know lamenting the fact that months after the death of george floyd at the hands of police we are still in the same place maybe it seems a little bit more heated but the fact the matter is there has been very little change in order to make black americans in certain neighborhoods feel more safe expression when theyre when theres an altercation with police. Were going to come back to you just a minute because this is all happening against the backdrop of the 2nd day of the Republican National convention which was supposed to strike a different note one of reconciliation after a very combative and aggressive start. One was about the pending apocalypse of a democrat when. You do see. What he told the Republican National convention did you move to was to soften the image of americas most unpopular president in almost 14 years i would like to avoid johns wife jamie to join a. Great john im not sure you know theres a full. Pardon so im not one of his friends but for a former bank robber. The theme of redemption set the tone for a night which casts trump as americas savior. His family trusted him to sing his many m. P. s who might be looking for a job my father built the riding economy once and believe me he will do it again my problem im speaking to you from beautiful jerusalem looking out at the oars the appearance of the secretary of state a figure normally kept out of Party Politics diplomats. This was the convention that broke with Convention Trump delivered her headline speech from the white house in a breach of ethical norms offering a message of unity charged with the 1st nights warnings about democratic demons. I dont want to use this precious time attacking the other side because as we saw last week that kind of talk only serves to divide the country for a day the 1st lady then touched on her husbands controversial relationship with the truth. We all know donald trump makes no secret about how he feels about things. Total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president whether you like it or not you always know what hes thinking. Her remarks ochlik out through the republican partys appeal to undecided voters ignore trumps polls and give him a 2nd chance. From our u. S. Election team is still with me in the studio stacy was this speech from illinois trump was it a success well i mean she did was she set out to do 1st she needed to redeem herself in the 2016 are and see where she kind of borrowed some of the 1st Lady Michelle obamas speech so this time it seemed like it was a plagiarism phrase so that was good and i think she also managed to kind of smooth the edges of donald trump and make him seem a bit more human that was her goal to try to make people forget about some of the racist things he said some of the sergeant mystic things that he has said and to put him in a more human light and i think that this. Its also meant to try to make suburban women expressions feel more comfortable about the things that he said. Because they can say oh well you know shes with him and shes a credible person and so he must be so maybe its ok to vote for him. Somebody else who sort of intervened that was my compare u. S. Secretary of state. That was quite unusual that he sort of supports the donald trump in this convention why was that because i stepped away from president so in the 75 years the secretary of state has never come forward to endorse a candidate and thats because this position is supposed to be outside of politics so politics and diplomacy are supposed to be 2 separate things and clearly he broke those bounds talking about how great trump was in dealing with china and north korea and stepping away from that as disastrous as he put it around deal so he made this a political thing and its also different from what were used to. Because this. The question is does this violate a federal law and this is what some democrats are looking at because he is because he did step out into the political arena in this position. Is this commission hitting the right notes to secure a 2nd term for President Trump i mean theyre really doing their best the 1st night i have to say if i you know just descended to earth id be like what is happening here the the the United States that they painted under a President Joe Biden seemed very scary dangerous and so they were if you were a nervous voter whos more concerned about law and order you probably have his vote this is also meant to solidify his base so that and the 3rd major part is that well he would like to siphon off some of the black votes im going to let you know vote. What he was really trying to do was make suburban voters who were turned off by his in a phobia by his racism make them feel like its ok to vote for him maybe hes a little gruff and maybe hes a little crass but he still has our best interests at heart and so maybe he can seduce them into voting for him one more time well find out soon enough stated this is a bit of thank you very much for your. Time not to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world the u. N. Security council has blocked a bit by washington to reimpose sanctions on iran in a Video Conference the Councils President there was a lack of consensus in the uns highest body over u. S. Strategy on iran 13 of the 15 Council Members voted to reject the bids for the 2. 2 prominent hong kong opposition lawmakers among more than a dozen people arrested in connection with last years until government protests launched a ting and. Detained after Early Morning raids on their homes the arrests being viewed as part of a widening crackdown on opposition figures in hong kong. A kremlin spokesman is disputing claims that i examine a volley was poisoned saying this absolutely cannot be true this comes off the german doctors said they have found evidence the russian Opposition Leader was not only was brought to berlins shariat a hospital on saturday after falling ill in siberia. Rescue teams are searching for bodies and survivors after serious flooding in northern afghanistan to ensure rain has caused flash flooding in power one province even to the destruction of thousands of homes local Officials Say of this 70 people are confirmed dead but the actual death toll is likely to be much higher they say it could take weeks to determine the number of casualties. For that story lets bring in a journalist earlier to fear in the early can you give us a sense of the stale of the destruction that. So ive been speaking to officials and part one since the morning and what they say is that you know they go from house to house street to street road to road and everywhere they go their homes affected by the flooding they were saying thousands of homes have water in them at least 150 up to 300 homes so far have been completely destroyed walls are crumbling and this is all in the provincial capital in the city of child called it self so that means doors will be damaged that means a hospital could face damage that means homes are obviously being damaged and a lot of these places a lot of these areas are unplanned residences so that means places are very close to each other theyre not properly built so that leaves the much more susceptible to damage from the flooding what kind of aid is the government providing to the region. So the government you know the ministry of defense promised any necessary aid to regional directorate. Natural disasters as promised through an aid and other kinds of aid that the provincial government itself has started to distribute Financial Aid but the biggest problem as i said i just spoke to help the fischel few minutes earlier and he said the number keeps changing hour by hour so we cant even a specific number or a specific answer to know what the total damage is so its really one of those things that think they have to its as they go. Along regularly experiences deadly flooding why is that. A lot of a has to do with infrastructure right if you dont have properly built roads if you have houses that are on land if you dont have proper canalization i mean what we have to remember is that its not just not want its a lot of problems and the north and the east and even in the city of kabul entire segments of the city you know become flooded when it rains if it rains too much you know the city of kabul becomes flooded it turns into rivers and so its really a problem of infrastructure. In kabul thank you very much for this update. Thank you. To south korea now where the government has ordered striking doctors to go back to work or face losing their licenses and even prison the strikes have perfectly forced some hospitals to reduce their work over the past few weeks doctors are unhappy or plans to increase the number of medical students and say the money should be spend instead on improving facilities outside of the capital coronavirus cases have been increasing with triple digit jumps each day for nearly 2 weeks. These are south koreas doctors theyre on strike against plans to increase the number of medical students they say money should be spent on trainees pay instead and an improving health care in the province is your term long the government now has no choice but to take necessary legal actions such as an order to open business and to not in date just citizens lives and safety to 23 been going to church all trainee and fellow doctors to immediately return to work i know in the case of the doctors not returning to work causing damage to patients we will take stern action based on the law and on principle. The doctors are risking their licenses and could even be jailed. The Health Ministry says the ongoing strikes have affected more than 2000 clinics across the country theyve canceled surgeries and have reduced hospital admissions. This comes as a spike in corona cases lead to most students in the solarium being sent home schools closed on thursday for at least 2 weeks to try to curb the increasing infections. President moon j in warned this week that the country was on the verge of a serious outbreak and urged people to adhere to quarantine measures. The striking doctors promise their dispute 20 fact 1000 patients but they say the best way to deal with Coronavirus Infections is to improve the system they have not to bring in thousands of new medical students and. Authorities have banned large scale demonstrations here in berlin against measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus the organizers had called a new protest this coming saturday and thousands were expected to attend at a demonstration at the start of this month and Berlin Police said many people taking part have ignored rules on social distancing and the wearing of face masks putting Public Health at risk to the protesters include until vaccination activists and conspiracy theorists but also some of germanys most notorious right wing groups. Political correspondent joins us from our parliamentary studios here in berlin in the organizers dont want to accept the tell us more. Several groups are already mobilizing their supporters online to still come to berlin this weekend they use. Chat Services Like telegrams so its quite easy to follow their conversations and theyre saying that its important to send a message and to not accept this ban and still go to berlin of course this is something where authorities are alert and theyre the organizers had announced that several 1000 people would come again and so it is going to be an exciting couple of days. Saudis are. Go ahead and try to stop this. Well the berlin senator for the interior has already announced that this time around the police will act decisively and rigorously and not tolerate any violations of existing hygiene rules and that they will break up those Mass Gatherings if they happen despite the ban the senate justified the ban by saying this is not an attack on the freedom of assembly this is a decision in favor of protecting Public Health and he said that the demonstrators behavior at the earlier demo earlier this month had shown that they clearly didnt want to hear to those hygiene rules and so a large scale event with so many participants at a time when were still in the middle of a pandemic is simply too risky thats what he said but he also added that and that is an important point when you talk about whos actually planning to come to berlin this weekend he said that a lot of those groups have clearly defined their goals and saying this is no longer just about the anti corona measures this is about overthrowing the German Government because theyre not legitimate thats what these people are saying and so the center for the interior has said this is an attack against the Free Democratic system but some of these protests south which i said large crowds in the past and germany is the public still behind the governments call the strategy here. There are several agencies who conducts regular polls who want to find out what germans think about the anti corona measures and a very recent poll suggests that the German Government still has massive support from the vast majority of germans that poll earlier this week suggested that 87 percent of germans are in favor of banning large scale events at the moment and there were similar figures for similar measures like the wearing of face masks in the public sphere. Political correspondent you know houses and you know. While were on the topic lets take a look at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic india has reported more than 67000 new cases in the past 24 hours raising the countrys number of confirmed infections to 3200000 kazakhstan has signed a deal to get supplies of russias 1st potential covert 9000 but we have seen once Clinical Trials are complete about 3700 people in sweden were told that taught in error that they had the corona virus due to a fault in the testing kit from china and germany is travel warning for more than 160. 00 countries outside the e. U. Will be extended by 2 weeks due to continued concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. Sports news now bus alone to have confirmed their star player messi has told them he wants to leave the club and for free messi submitted an official request asking to be released from his contract you know incident comes after barcelonas humiliating 82 defeats by buying munich in the Champions League capping a disappointing season for the spanish side messi regarded among the best footballers ever has been with the club for 20 years. Of g. W. Sports is joining me now how likely is it that barcelona will let him leave free i mean think about it very unlikely were talking about messi here arguably the worlds best player ever he is worth a lot of money and if boston i managed to sell and neymar to p. S. G. A few years ago for a record transfer fee of 222000000 euros and messi is worth way way more and do keep in mind that messi does have a buyout clause in his contract that is worth 700000000 euros that is a lot of money thats a lot of money that is a lot of money and messi also has a clause in his deal that if triggered he should be allowed to leave the club on a free transfer now on what happened on tuesday messi sent a fax a fax with a fax in itself says that the relationship probably has deteriorated because if that is your only way of communication and he indicated in that hacks that he wants to leave the club immediately and this is where it gets now legally very very tricky because barcelona can say you do have this clause but this cross expired and it expired because you should have activated it by june but messi is legal team can then counter that and say but wait a minute these here are exceptional circumstances because of the cronut virus pandemic. The entire football season was extended. So theoretically speaking the deadline should be august 31st. He has been with this very very famous and Successful Club for 20 years why leave now and this is that we have to look at whats happening on the pitch and off the pitch starting off with on the pitch this is one of the worst seasons for boston or not they went trophyless and they this has not happened in the past 12 years and lets also not forget the recent humiliation at the hands of buy a new nick in the Champions League an 82 loss i mean that must really destroy your morale especially if youre a giant Football Club like boston or not and then of course theres also put transfer policies where the past few years botswana have been buying expensive kaos who are then unable to contribution or they just cant fit them properly into the system and off the pitch theres a lot of tension between players and a Pain Management as well as the president of the club and this is why theres a lot of speculation now where people believe that maybe messi does not want to leave at all that maybe messi is using all of this as a tactic to try to bring changes to the cops hierarchy that hes trying to put pressure on them and hopefully the president steps down and there the new elections very interesting if he actually wins the battle and is free to leave briefly please what are is its a question of who can afford him very few clubs can and the obvious choices operate sundram on and of course mentors the city and mentors the city would be really interesting because he would be reuniting with his ex coach Pep Guardiola and we were talking views votes thank you very much.

A farmer in ivory coast to a sick still gone even under sustainable methods 2 young environmental activists in south africa who have stepped up on the Cycling Operation under both me to be my last to sit on today ease in that area where we visit a market for while on a ref. Despite all the trades. But 1st we head to the ivory coast. For biodiversity and over many. Thats coupled with deforestation so the gradation megawatt Climate Change population growth means things have to change done. He has adopted the principle known. And he has also inspired hundreds of others to let us go and. The money in the mountains of western ivory cost. A region and from adani. As a trainer for young voters here but today hes picking up some tips in self about cross breeding pond and limiting the use of pesticides. Hes come to an experience farm for advice. When they use pesticides the vegetables growing like crazy and the farmers make more money but when the products get to the market 2. 00 or 3 days later they start to rot. Dunn who is interested in learning more about the natural techniques used in the past carefully. One. Day he has to learn from an experience about some of the order practices today either been abandoned or theyre still being used but in a different way. Than i had to began to collect seeds which have been tarred contact to chemical pesticides whenever he meets with the farmers he asked them for seeds. Today this is to. Its clear the seeds are threatened they are about to disappear to be lost thats why its important to serve them because they have an Important Role in guiding our biodiversity. After asking around than it will i was able to gather 17. He tested the seeds on his experimental farm to find the best via teas his father was surprised and displeased by done is choice of profession and its toll i doubted that his son could make a living as a farmer. Being a farmer that was unfamiliar to run 20 so i wasnt at all happy i didnt encourage him to have to be honest i didnt encourage him at all. Today the father is proud of his sons work and that done it also convinces others to follow his example is. 31 year old decided to launch his own training sessions to teach other farmers how to stop using chemical pesticides i avoid agriculture and suffering these days pesticides are down in the soil young people are living the funds convinced that they cannot and enough in this sector. I think you prove to those who think that you cannot make a living as a farmer that you cannot make a lot of money those are people who are not really trying to develop their business and before this instruction that was a problem. You dont know a lie once the local farmers to make their crops more commercially viable. In a community a few kilometers away he helps Women Farmers to market their organic rice because theyre not consumed rice in ivory coast is imported ivorian can. Seumas strongly dependent on the rice which comes from russia from china or thailand today is to be able to propose a local rice produced by women and organic conditions that if. They can. Not only rice ivory cost imports many other foods in large quantities although they could be grown here here the women are preparing to set the rice seedlings 1st they apply compost to enrich the soil there is a new sense of optimism among these organic farmers they hope to do better than growers did in the past. In the past when my parents produced rice and brought it to the market they didnt have a lot of buyers it wasnt easy they often had to sell the rice more cheaply. Dont know lie has already found a story now bijan that will sell the womens rice he believes that if he can make locally grown crops more popular maybe more young people will consider staying in the region to cultivate the fields. Farming can only go well if the ecosystem is healthy and in most places that means having lots of beans these are important i mean it is helping countless species of plants to reproduce bees transport pollen from flower to flower if that doesnt happen the plant cant keep going thats right sander but in many countries like in europe and elsewhere big colonies are being die without landing great pasture site disease and monocultures mungo culprits in germany obviously acute births are stepping up their efforts to keep the pollinators along and i think. Every morning more dead bees can be found lying in front of these times the pride and joy of amateur beekeeper flits class. Were to be hes normally live for 6 weeks but his a falling victim to a parasite brought into europe from asia. Their furrow might destroy the bees nervous system to a point where they lose their sense of orientation that means theyre unable to carry out their tasks anymore they even lose their ability to fly or thats why the varroa mite is very very dangerous to be. A fairly. Its climber its one of around 100000 amateur beekeepers in germany he and his wife took up the hobby 5 years ago in berlin. The number of big hit has has risen in recent years and in lots of german cities including the capital there are many different b. Colonies living within an area of only a few square kilometers. That makes for a certain density. As they are now we are able to cope. They arent starving i mean the problem is. To make sure the bees do. Hope the amateur a. P. Arrests are helped by a veterinarian at berlins free university. Dr benedict pilot check gives regular courses on amateur beekeeping. Plywood he also instructs must be key to his at the university. Learn all about the different types of be there are more than 560. 00 species in germany alone most of them wild. Wild and solitary bees spend their lives alone they dont live in colonies so theyre exposed to different dangerous. The whole of you know how many reserve the infamous parasite in the burrow might not solitary as you go instead solitary bees have the problem of nesting sites monocultures dont provide misting sites we really need more smaller fields and we need chemical free fields. Studies from europe and the us show that monocultures and pesticides are the main threats to be survival. With not a single chemical in tow biologist called in the herceptin lands and the rate of native flowers in residential areas and. The project is funded by germanys environment ministry. Wild beasts only feed on certain flowers the more diverse the garden the more bees that can thrive here. We dont have enough spaces for flowers in the countryside and in cities that we have to help them are its not about honeybees versus wild geese its equally bad for all insects. Without bees nature is missing one of its most vital pollinators theyre responsible for the propagation of hundreds of thousands of plants when i was hoping to encourage more people in the countryside and the cities to get planted. Come clean and beautiful and vironment you have here now is not always a situation where you see the funny thing is that when ordinary people take the initiative the results can be surprising and great here as you can see its quite clean but another example some south africa an estimated 90 percent of the rubbish is just thrown away and left to rot in the streets 2 young men decided they had had enough and it was time to do something about the problem in their home town so they gave up their jobs and started a trash collection and recycling business lets see this. Its 5 oclock in the morning. As the sun rises the stench of rotting garbage becomes unbearable. These 2 men are determined to do something about all the litter in their community. One solution is resettling because most of the things that you find here are a 2nd horse saw saw 60 percent of feed can be repaired to get to 2 recycling bongani piri worked as a musician and top bang model jani worked in Waste Management seeing the garbage piling up they both quit their jobs and started the initiative valid green like many villages in south africa cant afford Waste Collection so theres letter everywhere. The valid green team go from house to house to collect plastic glass bottles and paper then they sort it all. Most people in macau used to burn that waste so it wasnt easy to convince them to change their ways and keep things that can be recycled. If its only really all the way to seriously it was going to be a deal include recycling itself so when you tell a little bored to be recycling for them its the and thats they need easier than filling a youth of i am not go about to say. But to also started what they call the eco hero program to engage with young people about Environmental Issues once a week they go to the local Primary School to make music and dance with the students. Participation is voluntary but its fun to join em and that motivates the kids to become eco heroes. Of the valley green team take what they collect to a recycling station. Major challenge for that Business Venture is transportation the recycling station pays about 80 euros for a load half the sum goes to pay the owner of the truck so period just 300. 00 euros a month in total. He says the solution is to grow the business and engage a large group of waste collectors who will sell them the things they find. The products and as a pipe its into so they come to us this is where the cycle was then you take to this the company its route by the end rooms the private sector has soared im overlooking we have there more when i see one trustful post in labor force. For now period multi yanina saving up to buy a professional weighing scale and eventually a truck of their own. Then they plan to employ dozens more waste collectors. To make and keep a clean place to live. In our series doing your bit we always focus on great ideas and innovation 1st week comes from uganda sandra tell us about bloody near the corbett and 1000 pandemic means that the Health Care Resources are very stretched so nobody really wants to get fit at a time like these Infectious Diseases like malaria are still a huge problem in many african countries must be told spread malaria many people use chemicals to repel them but i young money here in uganda has come up with a new and fearful way to keep the litter passed away. Mosquitoes are tiny but they can spread deadly diseases like malaria. Over 90 percent of malaria deaths around. In the world happen in africa. Mosquito nets are for protection but there might be another solution. Electrical engineer julius twine inventing a more natural way to ward off the pesky bugs. In africa exposure uganda we have some harbors and they have as which have this mean that theyre better than mosquitoes i did have this like 5 of them im
