 In the United States, days pass and demonstrations follow one another to denounce police brutality against black minorities. Yesterday, many Americans again took to the streets in several major cities to denounce the overly lenient judgment against the police officers involved in the deathof nurse Breonna Taylor in Louisville. Earlier in the day, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced that no charges have been brought against the two police officers who opened fire in the victim's apartment. Only Brett Hankison, one of the three agents involved in this case is prosecuted but only for endangering the lives of others.

While one travels at a frantic pace, the other prefers to carry out a campaign adapted to the health situation. As the election approaches, the two candidates for the American presidential election are each refining their communication strategy in their own way.  “Joe Biden is still hiding in his basement today. Before a long-awaited final face-to-face Thursday evening in Tennessee, Donald Trump 's campaign team does not hesitate to be ironic about the Democratic candidate. Whether it's travel, visibility or interviews, the two candidates running for the White House are running diametrically opposed campaigns. Political choices influenced in particular by the health crisis, which upsets this American presidential election and makes it more unprecedented than ever.      TRUMP CRISS-CROSSES THE UNITED STATES, BIDEN STAYS AT HOME   Three weeks after being tested positive for Covid-19, the president in the race for a second term, repeats to anyone who will list...
