Something that we would repression have people do but the timing on this we felt was not good and so we did make a request for him to do different. Antiracism demonstrators mostly peaceful have been taking place and can osha since the shot black president jacob blake in the back in august. But they too took a turn for the worse last week after a 17 year old white man Khalil Rittenhouse killed 2 black lives matters protesters and injured a 3rd. On monday chum appeared to defend the teenager fueling fears that the president s presence would cause further division in the city. He was trying to get away from them i guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that were looking at right now and its under investigation but. I guess he was in a very big trouble some of the compass hyping the unrest ahead of the election to shift the focus away from his failure to manage the pandemic democrats opponent joe biden does a step further accusing chump for mentoring divina fires are burning we have a president who fanned the flames rather than fighting the flames. But the fear among some critics is that he will use the disturbances in places like portland to round up calls follow an order that only he can provide. And lets get more were joined by peter dahl he is on the story for us so tell us i mean we heard it there we heard by then saying trumpets from oding violence we heard trump saying hes the long order candidate what voters make of the tactics well there are signs actually that it is working at least with crucial groups you know having as this election trumps polling numbers and such have not really gone up his favor bill your ratings are not going to biden still leading the race but support for the black lives not approaches is shrinking especially with white suburban voters and thats a group that you know has turned its back on trump since you know actually helping him win the 2016 election but because of his inflammatory rhetoric a lot of people felt like it was becoming a bit too much now trump is now it looks like its pretty successfully employing a strategy that Richard Nixon used in 68 where he was you know essentially painting unrest civic unrest as a threat to suburban voters and you know the safety. Of suburbia and essentially try to scare suburban voters back into his fold it worked for nixon trumps bet is that it will work for him too hes heading to connectionless concent yes so whats expected then yeah against the explicit wishes as was all there of not just the governor was gone but also the mayor of can knows a lot of other high ranking officials and can osha who as we saw you know asked him to stay away afraid that he would inflame tensions so you know the question why is he going anyway certainly not to try to quote tensions as. As i would expect instead it seems like hes trying to you know project strength to paint Democratic Leaders democratic mayor democratic governor in wisconsin to try to paint them as weak and to show that he is really in control at a time when a lot of critics are you know saying that he has completely lost control of not just the racial unrest in the country but also with the pen demick so hes trying to project some strength there also its really important you know wisconsin is an important swing state and help to the 26000 election a recent poll from wisconsin showed that support for the black guys matter also theyre down by more than 20 points since june especially among white was consonants so you know numbers like that are really grist to the mill for the trump camp and these politicians theyre certainly looking at those numbers on especially as weve seen this on rafts weve seen violence pour out onto the streets frustration among many voters there in the u. S. Peter what can we expect now going into november well i think i mean weve weve definitely seen from strategy i think he will keep hammering home this message it does appear to be you what is working for him you know the best at the moment for biden hes a much more painted himself as you know kind of a emphasize certain chief of people who can relate to the struggle and the pain that a lot of people are feeling right now who will try to you know get the nation a deeply divided nation to come together unite you know focus on on you know their commonalities in that the things that they share the values they share as opposed to the division so i think that is really what theyre going to try to keep it also biden you know saying trump is the reason were in this mess in the 1st place and hes going to stay with that message thank you thank you its. Of have a look at some other stories making news around the world hong kong has begun mass coronavirus testing in an attempt to stop a 3rd wave of infections leader cows carry lab was among thousands of people to get tested on Tuesday Morning some democracy democracy activists fear the china will use the scheme to collect personal data the Hong Kong Government dismisses those concerns.

Bo who doesnt want to give his last name despises social distancing and defies the rule to wear a mask in downtown brussels if i fire into in the show if i go into a major ok but if i walk alone in the street no no doubt its really too much and tivo is hardly alone in his opposition microfiche johnson who represents the protests. Group virus madness says no one should have to follow restrictions except to the most vulnerable how many people would die if we would not take any measures at all at the moment we dont know if you have no idea new Research Shows just one in 3 people surveyed in the dutch speaking part of belgium still supports the Safety Measures thats down from more than 80 percent in march when the pandemic 1st hit here university of ghent professor Martin Feldstein who led the study blames poor official communication for the dramatic drop in motivation he says its been a wake up call for authorities to pay more attention to people state of mind i dont think we have sufficiently been informing people on the consequences of their behavior for them to take a wise decision and now with the 1st of september comes the traditional way in belgium a return from holidays back to work and school it could be a toxic coronavirus cocktail were quite worried leading belgian virologist stephen vang says experts are stealing for a potential september surge he nonetheless agrees people should be given more information about actions and consequences and then more autonomy so people can have some freedom to choose what they think is appropriate for their situation and they can at their behavior but are people so sick of restrictions by now they wont follow them then believes most do comply but i dont obey them too strictly because its very difficult to do but i try anyway they command i feel much safer wearing it we must do it all together but skepticism is clearly growing in recent days open letters have been published in belgian media signed by hundreds of experts including doctors scientists and researchers suggesting the strict measure should be reviewed to see if theyre stopping the virus or just the vitality of everyday life. And we are joined now by show spokesperson dr Margaret Harris she is joining us from geneva us welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us how do you think 50 from coronavirus measures could impact infection rates. Certainly should take is something you do see it with an outbreak like that and one of the problems is people with fantastic about accepting very extreme measures quite often and what people think is that ok weve done this we did our bit we were fantastic now we go back to normal now the problem is normal is what got us into this into this mess in the 1st place is we have to learn to dance with the virus yes we need to be drizzy mouses son yes we need to be able to resume human activities but weve got to find ways to do it safely. And so people have to be listened to good things and raising their concerns do have to be listened to and responded to but always with an overarching idea is right or is it our community its killing way too many of us we have to learn to live safely so then concretely what does the w. H. O. Recommend because i mean we have seen thousands taking to the streets in recent anti corona protests. So we particularly recommend dont be clustered together especially in indoor areas my director general referred to the trick was. To go see some things you avoid credit spaces spaces and close contact so close contact is the high point because we as humans love to be together we are classic animals we feel safe we feel more comfortable when were in large groups but this is exactly what the virus is exploiting so if were going to be smart about this we really still need to get the distance and try to avoid being close together crowded spaces indoors particularly indoors with ventilation we have all them about to arrive here in europe other parts of the Northern Hemisphere talk with us a little bit about your level of concern especially as we head into the Colder Weather what is what is the science saying right now what could potentially be increasing for. So its 2 things the Colder Weather makes us go indoors so there is 3 seasons i was talking about they become more attractive as the weather gets colder and we can already feel the calling of the autumn really is a relative thing so if were going to spend more time indoors we have to look at ventilation and we have to look at how we can space ourselves if thats not possible thats why the face coverings being recommended so there would be a limit on the amount of birol know thats floating around were not seeing any signs that perhaps theres a better chance of people not getting as ill if they dont get such a big dose of virus so all these things we can do to improve their ventilation limit the amount of virus thats being spread keeping their hands clean keeping the environment clean that will help us beat this thing so we should all go out and get sweaters because maybe we have to keep the windows open dr Margaret Harris joining us. Joining us from the World Health Organization thank you so much. For now another place where there is resistance to anti corona measures is cameroon in west africa the government there has recently launched a mobile testing and Awareness Campaign but as the blaze a young reports Health Workers are facing a tough task because some people still dont believe the virus is real mistress of come rude have never been into since the beginning of the coffee can 80000 in.

Best talk of coronavirus cases in cameroon but we dont really see proof of these cases in europe when you hear of the 10 timing here of hundreds of people dead from the virus however in cameroon we dont see that. You do those views are a coup by many people in these markets and no wonder. They go medicine teams of medics across the city to remind the public about the pandemic and to encourage them to take frequent of our us test but it is often encounter hostility to his suspicion. Some people believe the pandemic is the governments count them out one of the main challenges is that we have to test the maximum amount of people possible because people are hesitant to get tested as you have seen when we come around some people mock us they say we are part of a secret cult they also say were bringing the disease to them so making people aware about this pandemic is a great challenge that we are working on. Or see at the angle of living 14 kilometers away the government has set up a move by piston sent those willing to be this that are brought here 3 days into the operation this unit has recorder one positive case good news for the doctors.
