It has unequivocal proof of what happened to the russian Opposition Leader alexina valmy. Also ahead the rise of a fringe Conspiracy Theory embraced by some Trump Supporters and congressional candidates. 2 months ahead of the u. S. President ial election donald trump is sowing more doubts about mail in ballots whilst visiting the state of North Carolina mr trump seemed to suggest people there should try to vote twice once by mail and once in person thats illegal but mr trump said it would be a good test of ante for what its. Theyll vote and theyre going to have to go and check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way because even if it tabulates and they wont be able to do that so let them send it in and let em go vote and if this systems as good as they say it is then obviously they wont be able to vote if it isnt tabulated theyll be able to vote so thats the way it is and thats what they should do i dont like the idea of these unsolicited votes i never did well during an interview on weapons day mr trumps attorney general William Boggs said he wasnt sure about each states laws against double voting that as mr trump threatens to cut funding to cities he says anarchy and violence he highlighted new york washington seattle and portland all run by democrat mayors and all the seen the protests against racism and Police Brutality mike hanna has more. President trump says in the memorandum that he wants to review where these funds are going he says that he does not want taxpayers money going to funding an o. T. As he puts it hes asked the federal agencies to report back within 30 days to his budget director to take a look at the budgets with a view to cutting off funding to cities that president trance says are unable to maintain law and order well the mayor of new york has been very quick to react bill de blasio held in urgent News Conference saying that this is nothing more than a political stunt by saying that president is not the king has no legal right to stop funding the big cities particularly the cities that he refers to all run by democrats william barr held a interview with c. N. N. An exclusive interview in which he expressed a rather surprising thought that there is no racism in the policing no attempts at racism within the actions of police he says that this is a false narrative that this does occur this despite statistics that are provided by a number of independent organizations such as universities and news media which indicate that africanamericans use 2 and a half times more likely to be shocked by a policeman than his white counterparts so certainly the figures would not appear to bear out william bards assumption. Verdicts expected shortly in the trial of the Hong Kong Media mogul jimmy lie hes accused of intimidating and threatening a rival newspaper reporter during a vigil in 2017 if convicted the prodemocracy campaigner could be jailed for up to 5 years is the founder of the apple daily and has been an outspoken critic of the government in beijing adrian brown is outside the court in Hong Kong Adrian just talk us through what might happen today. Well jimmy lie arrived here a short time ago really like a man in a hurry he was surrounded by journalists some from the very media organizations that he owns now ordinarily we probably wouldnt be covering a case like this but we have to see it in the context of all that is happening in hong kong right now jimmy ly has been arrested 3 times this year and hes facing at this court a charge of criminal intimidation now this stems from an incident thats alleged to have happened more than 3 years ago during the annual june the 4th council like vigil in Victoria Park now hes alleged to have threatened a reporter from a newspaper thats a rival to the apple daily newspaper that he owns he apparently told the reporter im going to mess you up and the prosecution say they believe that jimmy and i was going to carry out that threat of causing physical harm to the journalists now as you say if hes found guilty today i will know that you know in the next few minutes or so he faces a sentence of doing 2 to 5 years in jail now just last month to me i became the most high profile prodemocracy figure to be detained under the new National Security law now hes being charged with foreign collusion on that now that possibly means he faces a jail sentence of up to 10 years if he is found guilty and also he faces the prospect of perhaps having that trial take place across the border. In the mainland so jim eli is facing you know prosecution on a number of fronts right now and its not just to me line a sense thats on the spotlight at the moment you know so too is hong kongs legal system because just a few days ago the chief executive kerry land seemed to suggest that hong kong did not have a separation of powers between the executive the legislature and the judiciary and thats led many people to question whether in fact the legal system the Free Independent system that hong kong has had here is now perhaps a thing of the past adrian for the moment the time being many things said in brown reporting live from hong kong.

India has recorded the worlds biggest single day rise in new infections more than 83000 cases were reported on whedons day the 3rd time this week that numbers above 80000 the u. S. Held the previous single day record with 77000 the un is highlighting the impact the coronavirus is having on the education of young refugees a report from the u. N. H. C. R. Says the pandemic threatens to reverse gains made over recent years girls are of particular concern they already have less access to education than boys and its estimated half of refugee girls in secondary schools wont return if and when the classrooms reopen governments and the private sector are being urged to do more to avoid what could be a lost generation for more on this lets bring in Matthew Saltmarsh from the u. N. H. C. R. Matthew good to talk to you again what kind of impact is this having on refugees trying to get an education. Were concerned it is could potentially our nation any pandemic policy and could shatter hopes and dreams that refugees around the world as you mentioned around heart of the refugees are currently out of school and the numbers are not quite so stark when you look at Primary School level but its when you get to the secondary and Tertiary Education levels that things are really quite worrying because those are the really key years for a student if you dont develop skills a vocation langridge and so on and to build those tools that let allow them to work and the independent minds and future and some of those numbers are the worrying and in the case of. The recent measures whether thats how whether that the Economic Impact is it was having a really. On or your definition around well ok when we talk matthew about the Economic Impact does it also have an impact on the Broader Community or the country where refugees are living because they seem to be stationed in certain countries on a semi permanent basis but weve all got a vested interest in making sure that everyone gets the best education they can get otherwise were creating a generation of people who simply will not get a job at some point say between being 18 that crucial age of 18 to 2425. Thats thats right i mean it is of course a global problem the estimates are that something about 1600000000. 00 children around the world have missed large chunks of their education so of course its global every country is being affected but refugees are being dont really affect you because preventing this is an emergency on top of an emergency they were already living in very difficult conditions 85 percent of them in developing countries with very scarce resources difficult to find jobs difficult living and so on so its like a double whammy. For refugees where does the responsibility for fixing this lie doesnt lie with teachers headmasters School Authorities or Even National governments we think there are a number of steps that need to be taken 1st of all we think inclusion is the most important thing and a number of countries have included refugees in the National Education system if you take your own for example theres half a 1000000 afghan refugees in the Education System so there have been positive strides made that but we can much more can be done more can be done by the International Community to provide medium term and sustainable aid for education but also for education in emergencies so to be able to front load a lot of that assistance but also the private sector and other actors can come in and weve seen a number of initiatives in recent years that have been positive that have used Technology Different active in the private sector to bring education to refugees just one example of that is ourselves you are next you are working with Vodafone Foundation for it is the Network Schools which uses technology to bring. Recchi terriers and thats been positive and we want to see much more of that kind of thing ok matthew many thanks Matthew Saltmarsh there with u. N. H. C. R. Good to talk to you thank you. Student unions in myanmar urging people to boycott novembers general election they say the country cant build real democracy as long as the constitution reserves a quarter of all parliamentary seats but the army is florence louis. In myanmar telltale signs that a general election is coming in downtown yangon try shots have been decked out with party flags and Printing Companies have been busy putting party logos on banners t. Shirts and caps the upcoming november election will be myanmars 2nd freely contested elections since 50 years of military rule ended in 2011 but for some the hope and excitement of the last election in 2015 have given way to a sense of disappointment University Student min cant chore is the Communications Officer for the old Burma Federation of student unions thats urging voters to boycott the polls in order to any government elected from an election held under the 2008 constitution can never be seen to be one of debts for the people is only for the interests of the really terry is happening now as well as why we need to dissolve these constitutions is why we need to oppose this election. Only 75 percent of seats in parliament up for election the rest are reserved for the military effectively giving it veto power over any constitutional change the ruling party the National League for democracy or an audi one a landslide victory in 2015 and try to amend the constitution but failed to obtain the 75 percent needed its politicians have criticized the no Vote Campaign as misguided and one reason why you cant separate elections from democracy. If you dont have elections democracy will feel. The vote because you want democracy we can make the constitution be the only issue. But the n l d has also struggled on other fronts its failed to stop the fighting between the army and ethnic armed groups despite a nationwide cease fire agreement in 2015 and several rounds of talks and the government has come under pressure internationally over a military crackdown on the rohingya minority in Rakhine State in 2017 which Rights Groups have said tend to mount to genocide. The National League for democracy is one of the most worried about the no Vote Campaign and all day leaders know why the no Vote Campaign has been revived they once stood with the n. L. The against the military dictatorship they also vote for the n l d now they are unhappy with the n. L. Days performance and are not going to vote even so many Analysts Expect the n l d to win the election but possibly with a smaller majority and its landslide victory in 2015 florence li al jazeera. We have some breaking news for you on a story we brought you a little earlier the trial of the Hong Kong Media mogul jimmy lie in the past couple of minutes hes just been found not guilty of intimidating and threatening a reporter from a rival newspaper the prodemocracy campaigner was facing up to 5 years in jail live now to the heart of the story the courtroom courthouse in hong kong to see his correspondent adrian brown so adrian is he not guilty on all charges. Yes peter that is right jim ely has now left west kalou Magistrates Court and of course he now has one less you know criminal headache too to worry about but lets remember he has been arrested 3 times this year already and hes facing a ray of other charges much more serious than the one hes been facing here at west kalou Magistrates Court now he had been charged with criminal intimidation basically he was accused of threatening a reporter from a rival newspaper to the one that he owns the apple daily the instant is alleged to have happened more than 3 years ago during the annual june the 4th vigil in Victoria Park but the magistrate threw out the case today she said yes i was perhaps acting irrationally but there was no sense of preventive taisha no sense he was going to carry out his threat against a reporter who had been harassing jimmy life for a number of months now to me lie of course was the most hope quite profile prodemocracy figure to be detained under the new National Security law which was introduced at the end of june he was detained early last month and he has been charged with basically foreign collusion which if hes found guilty of that he would face up to 10 years in jail and the possibility actually of the trial happening across the border in the mainland so that trial is yet to happen hes also facing charges of taking part in an Illegal Assembly and that also. Carries a jail term of several years so yes jimmy lie has one less criminal headache to worry about but potentially many more serious ones now remain for his supporters adrian for the people who who who would self identify i guess as being prodemocracy demonstrators weve seen them on the streets of hong kong whats the message this sends to them. Well i think whats more important i guess is the message that is sent out about hong kongs judicial system because there has been a lot of unease in recent days in recent weeks over whether hong kongs judicial system remains independent just a few days ago for instance the chief executive kerry lam said there was no separation of powers between the judiciary the executive and the Legislature Even though thats always been the assumption by you know the top judges here in hong kong whove always said that that was the case here in Hong Kong Well i guess kerry now will now large you know this case demonstrates in fact hong kong does have a judicial independent legal system in a dream thank you very much a supporter of a movement which believes the socalled deep state wants to bring down donald trump is looking likely to be elected to congress this november it is another sign of the rise of socalled q anon movement which the f. B. I. Sees as a potential domestic terrorists threat isnt a gala. An online Grassroots Movement that came to be called the great awakening the q and on Conspiracy Theory was born on the dark fringes of the internet nearly 3 years ago followers believe that the in all of us q is someone with high government player in the Movement Began with the unfounded claims that satanic worshipping politicians and celebrities who work in tandem with global governments to abuse children and that a socalled deep state wants to destroy President Donald Trump i am 100 percent behind q hes working for the president for him for our country the rallying call of we are q. Was then heard a trump rallies and even the president himself seemed to embrace a movement the f. B. I. Has called a potential domestic terrorist threat these are people that dont like seeing whats going on in places like portland and places like chicago and new york and other cities and states and. Ive heard these are people that love our country and believe us and now running and in Marjorie Taylor greenes case winning elections green who President Donald Trump calls a future republican star beat a conservative neurosurgeon in georgia and will likely had to congress in many cases and then elano mars and that he should minneapolis and the plan was not only a man and were not going to allow them to tear our country down berners is right and believe we will have that here in northwest georgia that according to media matters more than 60 former and current congressional candidates have promoted or embraced q and on a political experts say in reality the movement remains on the fringe it hasnt gotten bigger but it could. But with that said i think people are more resistant to these sorts of ideas than sometimes we give them credit for and at the same time conspiracy theories are just a part of the Human Experience and this is really nothing new im more empowered those candidates that did well while embracing bizarre conspiracy theories have since distanced themselves and some cases the Republican Party has subtly aligned themselves with the q and on movement and the president has retreated q. And on follow was at least 200 times the reason gating followers outside the us it said that we live in a post truth era but cuban on has serious consequences followers have been accused of attempted kidnapping murder and other criminal activities it may have started as a fringe cult like belief system but following the president s comments and several victories in elections they may feel more emboldened than ever i think alec are all this era miami florida. Updating the top stories here on aljazeera the us President Donald Trump has suggested americans should vote twice in the forthcoming elections despite that being illegal mr trump has been insisting without any evidence that an increase in mail in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud theyll vote and theyre going to have to go and check their vote by going to the ball and voting that way because even if it tabulates and they wont be able to do that so let them send it in and let it go vote and if this system is as good as they say it is then obviously they wont be able to vote if it isnt tabulated theyll be able to vote so thats the way it is and thats what they should do i dont like the idea of these unsolicited votes i never did.
