Biden speaks to Jacob Blake during Wisconsin visit

Newsday

Available for over a year

We go to Kenosha after a visit by Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for president. He spoke by phone to Jacob Blake, whose shooting triggered more protests against police violence. One month on from the massive blast in Beirut, tens of thousands of people are unable to rebuild their homes - because of the spiralling cost of building materials. And we'll hear from a Belarussian "Babushka": the grandmother who wants to depose the president.
