US President Donald Trump has visited the state of Wisconsin, where people are still taking to the streets to protest against the shooting of a Black man by a police officer.
Trump went to the city of Kenosha on Tuesday. Jacob Blake was shot seven times at close range by a police officer in the city on August 23.
Peaceful protests have been taking place in the area, but some buildings have been destroyed. Trump inspected stores that were burned down by arsonists.
He said at a meeting with police officials that people want to see law and order. Trump added that people also want to see a great police force.
Demonstrations against Trump's visit continued into the night, with people shouting "Black lives matter!"
Members of the Democratic Party are criticizing Trump for not meeting with the victim's family and for creating divisions. They say their party's presidential candidate Joe Biden will aim to heal wounds, if he is elected.
Trump apparently wants to show that he intends to maintain order ahead of the presidential election in November.
But Democrats are accusing him of stirring up trouble by siding with the police.

US President Donald Trump has visited Kenosha, Wisconsin, to stress that his administration will crack down on violent protests against the recent police shooting of a Black man there.
Trump arrived in the city on Tuesday and visited a burned-out shop and the task force dealing with the protests.
He also met law enforcement officers and urged them to act with resolve.
The shooting of Jacob Blake on August 23 has sparked anti-racism protests, some of which turned violent.
Several hundreds of people gathered in a park in central Kenosha to show either their support or opposition to the president.
Supporters chanted "Four more years" while opponents accused him of dividing the American society.
Trump apparently wants to turn the situation to his advantage ahead of the presidential election by emphasizing that the Democratic governor of Wisconsin has not done enough to prevent violence.
He is also trying to show that he can maintain law and order.
But the Democrats accuse Trump of siding with police and inciting divisions rather than addressing racism.
Key words : choose next leader
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200901_30/
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is moving forward with plans to choose its next leader, with a slimmed down election in just two weeks. The winner will replace Prime Minister Abe Shinzo when he steps down to deal with his health problems.
Three likely contenders have emerged…the government's top spokesperson Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide, LDP policy chief Kishida Fumio and the party's former secretary general, Ishiba Shigeru.
Suga is the first to gain support from large party factions, and is expected to announce his candidacy on Wednesday. But so far, he's stayed quiet publicly when it comes to his intentions.
Suga said, "This is a place where I explain the government's view. I would like to refrain from commenting on the presidential election of the LDP, including my own involvement."
Suga's nearly 8-year tenure as Chief Cabinet Secretary in Abe's administration could give him an edge over his rivals. He's expected to continue Abe's policies, especially regarding coronavirus measures…a consistency that's seen by many as his strongest asset.
On Monday night, Abe's former faction- which is the party's largest -threw their weight behind Suga.
Meanwhile, Kishida met with Abe Monday to ask for his backing, but downplayed the conversation to reporters.
Kishida said, "It was just a greeting. There's nothing new. I just exchanged greetings once again to ask for his endorsement. Um...I mean, I'm going to. That's all. "
On Tuesday, Kishida formally announced his intentions at a meeting of his faction.
Kishida said, "For the Japanese people and for my country, I am willing to do everything needed. I would like to ask for your support."
The final potential candidate, Ishiba, was pushing hardest for a regular open election rather than a scaled-down version the party ultimately decided on.
Ishiba, who is popular with the rank-and-file and general public, would have likely benefitted from a regular election in which all LDP party lawmakers plus an equal number of members nationwide vote.
Ishiba said, "It's important that rank-and-file members vote, so that the new leader takes over the reins of government after Abe with a strong mandate."
Once the new party president is chosen, Japan could hold an extraordinary Diet session in mid-September to elect the country's new prime minister.
A win there is nearly a foregone conclusion, since it's controlled by an LDP-led coalition.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide appears to be solidifying support among lawmakers of the main governing Liberal Democratic Party as the successor to Prime Minister Abe Shinzo.
The party will soon choose a new president after Abe announced his intention to resign due to health reasons.
LDP policy chief and former foreign minister Kishida Fumio and former defense minister Ishiba Shigeru threw their hats in the ring on Tuesday.
Kishida said he will put everything on the line for the people and the country. He also said he wants to be a leader who can get people to work together.
He suggested that he puts a priority on addressing economic and other gaps.
Ishiba said it's his responsibility to carry out policies that can win people's understanding and empathy. He stressed the need to revitalize regional communities.
Suga is expected to announce his candidacy on Wednesday, possibly citing the need to respond to the coronavirus outbreak and continue Abe's policies as his reasons for running.
Of the seven LDP factions, four have decided to back Suga, and another is likely to follow suit. Several groups of lawmakers who don't belong to any faction are also supporting him.
This means that Suga has already secured support from more than two-thirds of the party lawmakers.
The party is scaling back its election protocol to ensure a swift change in power, as the country deals with the coronavirus and other pressing issues.
All 394 LDP lawmakers will get a vote, along with three representatives from each prefecture.
To reflect the opinion of its more than one million members across the country, party leadership is urging local chapters to hold preliminary elections.
On Wednesday, the LDP is expected to announce it will hold the election on September 14.
Key words : six of nuclear deal
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200902_08/
Six of the seven signatory countries to a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran have rejected a US bid to restore UN sanctions on Tehran. The nuclear deal put caps on Iran uranium enrichment and allowed for inspections.
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and Iran discussed the US proposal at a sub-ministerial level meeting in Vienna on Tuesday.
The US government announced recently that it was triggering a process to restore UN Security Council sanctions on Iran, accusing Tehran of breaching the deal.
Chinese ambassador for disarmament Fu Cong told reporters that the delegation expressed their position that the US, being a country that has withdrawn from the deal, does not have the legal standing to trigger the snapback. He said the countries are fully committed to maintaining the deal.
Iran is showing signs of softening its stance. Last week, Tehran agreed to accept inspections from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which it had previously refused, at two nuclear facilities.
European members of the nuclear deal are urging Iran to refrain from activities that could lead to violations of the agreement.

Japan's Defense Ministry has had to put off sending a Maritime Self-Defense Force vessel to the Middle East after one crew member tested positive for the coronavirus.
The ministry says the infection was confirmed on Tuesday aboard the destroyer Murasame, which was due to engage in an intelligence-gathering mission in the Middle East.
The vessel left Yokosuka Base, near Tokyo, on Sunday but stayed in waters near Japan while about 200 personnel underwent virus tests. It returned to the base following the confirmation.
The ministry says the postponement does not affect the mission because the vessel that the Murasame was due to relieve will continue operations.
Ministry officials are working with public health authorities to see whether other personnel are infected.
The ministry will then decide whether to send the Murasame on its mission.

NHK has learned that Japan's public and private sectors have teamed up to develop and mass-produce medical masks.
The National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, air conditioner maker Daikin Industries and Kyoto-based startup crossEffect, jointly developed a respirator mask.
Medical equipment maker Nipro will take charge of manufacturing and selling the masks.
Demand for masks with particle-blocking filters has been rising globally in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Many masks used by medical workers in Japan are imported from China and elsewhere, and concerns are growing that they will be in short supply.
Respirator masks are usually disposable. But the newly developed one is made of resin and uses replaceable filters.
The project members aim to acquire the N95 classification, a US standard for respirator masks, and its Japanese equivalent, before selling the product on a trial basis. Mass production is planned for next year.
Nishimura Kunihiro of the national center says healthcare professionals need more equipment to protect themselves and their patients, and they want made-in-Japan products whose quality they can trust.
He also says domestic production is necessary to ensure masks will be supplied even if imports stop.
