A scathing report showing the scale of mishandled covert 19 funds in south africa well look at that and other countries facing similar allegations and voting has begun in libyas local elections because of the conflict not everyone will be constant balance. And in sports contrast in fortunes from the top seeds at the u. S. Now that jock reaches 3 to round 3 back terribly netflix has been knocked out. Hello everyone was starting in the us just 2 months away from the president ial election donald trump is again selling more doubt about ballots that would be sent in by post he was visiting North Carolina and he seemed to suggest they were here for yourself that people there should try to vote twice once by mail and once and person to be clear this is illegal but trump said it would be a good test of antifraud efforts. 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 me send it in and let em go vote and if their systems is good as they say it is then obviously they wont be able to vote if it isnt job related 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 now in other developments there was an interview on wednesday with trumps attorney general william who said he wasnt sure about state laws against poaching twice trump is also threatening to cut funding to cities which he says allowed anneke and violence he highlighted among them new york washington Seattle Portland coincidently all run by democratic mayors and all the scene of protests against racism and Police Brutality well start with this from mike hanna. 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 these are 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 transfer is 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 to 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 then his white counterparts so certainly the figures would not appear to bear out william bards assumption. But as we hear those words from william barr it is worth considering the facts and the names that we know al jazeera dot com has put together an interactive piece which theyve called know their names black People Killed by the police in the United States and as you swipe through to look nice on your phone actually the way theyve designed it the names like george floyd from minneapolis of course died with a policemans knee on his neck saying i cant breathe thought Briana Taylor the 26 year old from louisville kentucky who was killed while she was sleeping they are among the names of people black People Killed by police in the United States you can have a look for yourself al jazeera dot com go to the more menu and find the interactive its called no their names. Meanwhile the release of Police Body Camera video of a black americans death has provoked calls for officers to be charged with his killing this is daniel proved he died when taken off life support 7 days after his arrest by police in rochester and march theyd been called out because of concerns for his Mental Health offices in new york state was seen putting a hood on his head and kneeling on his back new yorks attorney general says an inquiry is underway were on to other news and german doctors say they have proof that the russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned with the soviet era nerve agent novacek remember being treated in a hospital in berlin after collapsing jura did during a domestic flight in russia 2 weeks ago the german chancellor Angela Merkel says the kremlin must answer court difficult questions so weve got 2 correspondents looking at this story this lawrence li in london im going to come to you a bit lawrence because of course we have that very high profile of a child poisoning in the u. K. Just a few years ago there but were going to start with alexandra. Who is in moscow i mean any updates from the russian government are they saying anything because these are pretty serious allegations. Yes these are pretty serious allegations and just minutes ago spokesperson on russian president Vladimir Putin spoke about this case in essence what russia is saying that they didnt see the proof and what would possibly be the motive all for poisoning the violin so he says that also talking sanctions in an acceptable that there is no reason the 4 sanctions on that base case or even possibility to talk about the possibility of them what he also says that russia can get access to any offer the evidence though they really quest for informational what is exactly the talks and that. He also said that russia was a geisha is that it is really not to jump to conclusions and accused russia of poisoning oppositional. You also says that russia in no one in russia could benefit from this at the same. Operation on. But also said before by the ministry of Foreign Affairs the exchange of information so they possibly are thinking of actually being granted the full access to the results of the data to the analysis everything concerning his health from the moment he left that the but also how the german scientists how the german labs came to the conclusion that it was not a child credit for as i think ok alex hunter thank you for that update there from moscow now back to lawrence lee in london lawrence briefly pointed this out as obviously you can expand on this we had the souls pretty poisonings 2 years ago in the u. K. Very similar to the u. K. Reacted kind of as the germans are is over lots of strong words but i mean is there anything the germans can learn from the way the british handled it. Well yeah its a good question it is very striking really quite how strident the German Response has been given that historically germany has been much more of a bridge with the russians and much of the rest of the european union. The former german chancellor ended up on the board of gazprom you know thats thats how close he was to the russians when he was in charge of germany and yet here you have Angela Merkel saying its a crime and they were and that selling nato and the European Partners about the about the results and they were and they want to come up with a proper response. And it does look like the attitudes of hardening but you mention Boris Johnson who has come out himself obviously encouraged by what the germans said and said is outrageous and the konstanz which is all very well because when there is a mountain of evidence to say with the souls proposed innings and the 2 prime suspects were filmed coming into the airports it was not a chuckle over the door of the script olds the 2 people who were poisoned someone else died when when she picked up if you remember a fake perf human bottle in a rubbish bin thinking it was sprayed on a self and died as a result given all that evidence Nothing Happened in sums of reprisal from the british and so it is difficult to know theres been a german will make it this morning the length of a very long line of joe of europeans angry about the russians who have said that the only way to deal with the russians is by sanctions and boycotting this thing called the north stream gas pipeline which is supposed to go from northern russia through northern germany and into denmark gas is the only language the russians understands but its all very well but theres going to be any number of European Countries that wont want to play particularly countries like hungary very pro putin hungry now supports the hunger ariens Nuclear Power the or if the europeans want saves so the paneuropean sanctions responded have to get all 27. 00 on board and they wont be able to do that and so lots of language floating around but its very difficult to see what theyre actually going to do about it. Good context there from lawrence lee our correspondent in london thank you lawrence 10 past the hour here is whats coming up for you in india set some of the global coronavirus recalled we will have an update from the capital new delhi. On attack on the rule of law the International Criminal court u. S. Sanctions imposed on the chief prosecutor in support International Football returns to europe for the 1st time since the lockdown farlow have banned the rest of the sport a little like. Coronavirus updates for you now in the u. S. Is refusing to participate in the global vaccine effort kovacs because its been led by the World Health Organization or than 70 wealthy nations have committed to fair access to any future vaccine the coalition will buy and deliver 2000000000 doses of approved vaccines by the end of next year but remember in july the trumpet ministration announced it had started the process of withdrawing from the World Health Organization also india recording the worlds biggest single day rise in new infections more than 83000 cases reported on wednesday which is the 3rd time this week the numbers gone above 80000 the u. S. Held the previous single day record at 77000 more from elizabeth purana now in new delhi who tells us rule areas of particular concern. India has recorded yet another single highest day rising for the posse thats been recording more cases than any other country in the world because of those numbers that said to us the 2nd worst affected country remains the worst affected state and wateringly there and were seeing that the virus has spread from the main cities of mumbai and to the rural districts 5 rule districts recorded a 500 percent increase in cases in august and the concern is that areas just dont have Adequate Health care. For the Southern States of. The was defective but theyre also conducting the highest number of tests and india itself conducted its highest number of tests on wednesday 1100000 and there is a correlation between expanded testing and the higher numbers the independent Health Experts continue to say that indias needs to be testing a lot more to have the real picture of cases in the country despite all of these numbers the government is easing more and more restrictions Metro Rail Services is set to Begin Next Week for the 1st time in 5 months in many cities including here in delhi and other states such as one of the worst affected. Is set to reopen and thats because the government keeps pointing to these numbers to the fate tally it says india has one of the lowest rates at Something Like 1. 75 percent but we have to keep in mind with those numbers that only around a 5th of all deaths of india are actually medically certified. Meanwhile a number of african countries are facing protests over scandals related to the pure amount of medical equipment now since south africa or port by the order to general has found quite frightening findings in the allocation of covert 900 funds in some cases the p. P. A. The personal protective equipment was purchased at 5 times more than the suggested price also in kenya the president ordered an investigation into the state agency that handles medical supplies thats after allegations some officials and businessmen stole 400000000. 00 during that whole process and in nigeria doctors in state run hospitals went on strike a few times over the lack of p. P. A. More than 800. 00 Health Workers there have been infected with the virus so we have got this story covered from all 3 of those locations we will be with us in nigeria and malcolm webb in kenya shortly but were starting with the militias in pretoria in south africa what do you actually tell us about where you are as well as the report thats come out. Well 80 few dozen protesters have gathered outside the Union Buildings here in pretoria thats the seat of government just outside the president s office and while it is a fairly small group because remember that restrictions usted in place they cant be gatherings of more than 50 people they people here are vocal and these have also been very persistent complaints around the procurement of personal protective equipment equipment and hospitals and a lot of it it revolves around corruption weve spoken to a number of Health Workers who have said that there isnt enough p. P. In hospitals sometimes not a tool theyve also complained that often theyve had to reuse and disinfect p. P. And theyre blaming corruption for this in that the companies that have supplied people he often have connections a political connect. Are connected to the Ruling African National congress here in south africa and thats how theyve come by these contracts when in fact they arent actually capable of delivering the equipment thats needed and they say its for this reason that Health Workers are at risk at least 24000 Health Workers in south africa many of them nurses have contracted covert 19 and at least 250 have died so far and this is what angers the protesters behind us they say that south africans have sacrificed so much so far during the slump down and to add to that you now have a government that theyre accusing of being in efforts and corrupt only worsening this Health Crisis in the country ok funny in pretoria in south africa thank you for that we had north. Kenya and here is now can work malcolm a believe alluded to some of this a little bit earlier but the threat of strike action there as well. Thats right 800 more than 800 Kenyan Health care workers have been infected with coded since the beginning of the pandemic 16 have died in the Health Care Unions say that the government has failed to look after their safety and their welfare neath threatening a National Strike from monday now this comes on the back of a raft of corruption scandals relating to covert funding and also procurement of equipment those unions say that among their complaints are defective protective equipment in some cases a shortage in adequate training and these corruption scandals which is theres been evidence of corruption right from the start of the pandemic with just in the last few weeks these corruption scandals have been well documented in kenyas press and by Anti Corruption campaigners things such as theft of donated equipment then being sold back to the Public Health sector or briefcase companies being set up overnight and then winning contracts to procure health which is then bought at vastly inflated prices you mentioned that figure of 400000000. 00 thats the amount of money that is estimated to have been stolen now this is reached a head in recent weeks the u. S. And other International Funders and now threatened to withdraw funding for kenyas response unless this is properly addressed and meanwhile the health meanwhile the Health Care Workers threatening to strike in these unions do have a lot of members if a deal isnt reached in the coming days if that strike goes ahead on monday could really be very crippling for kenyas Public Health care sector ok thank you for that from Nairobi Kenya finally. I think weve followed the situation with you in nigeria previously bring us up to date with the issues there. Well Health Workers are still complaining of shortage of personal protective equipment and most especially in hospitals owned by the government run by the government apart from that theyve also been having issues that has allowances they call has that allowance has been paid to doctors engaged in services at the Isolation Centers and other Treatment Centers where victims of covert 19 are being kept so these are issues that have come up in the early days and even now as nigeria is still battling this pandemic doctors are planning to go on strike with doctors the National Association of resident doctors is planning to go on strike right now they are meeting in the capital abuja to discuss. Of the strike action and weve seen such actions previously over issues of a shortage of parts and Protection Equipment as well as like of payment of allowances and of course overwork of medical Service Workers in nigeria remember this is a country or with a population of about 200000000 and the numbers the number of doctors is less than 100000 so this is a major problem for most i didnt doctors in it in this country and they are trying to push the government as hard as they can to get some concessions and it is running out coronavirus coverage from africa the south thank you nick. The United Nations and human Rights Groups are condemning u. S. Sanctions which have been imposed on the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal court this is in response to an investigation into whether u. S. Forces committed war crimes in afghanistan i call his i report. Did u. S. Troops torture people did they commit war crimes here in afghanistan to the taliban or the Afghan Military the International Criminal court has been trying to find out and now a new move from the Trump Administration to try and stop them at least when it comes to u. S. For sales the United States will designate i. C. C. Prosecutor for 2 bensouda and the i. C. C. As head of jurisdiction complementarity in Cooperation Division buckey so much to go for having material assisted prosecutor bensouda individuals and entities that continue to materially support those individuals risk exposure to sanctions as well that means the chief prosecutor and the head of an i. C. C. Department could be frozen out of the International Banking system have any of their u. S. Assets frozen human Rights Groups are outraged the practical effect could be ethical for these individuals but i think we also have to see how damaging that and have a u. S. Administration take this. Kind of a full full of fall full of all thats regard for the global role of law that using these actions. The spokesman for the u. N. Secretary general says the move raises concerns the i. C. C. As you know especially the prosecutor or independent of the secretary general and of the u. N. We have always stood for the need for International Justice and for the issue of accountability and the fight against impunity the u. S. Has often used its vast power in the financial industry to punish war criminals now using the same tactic to go after the very people who are charged with punishing them political hane aljazeera. Please welcome kevin john hello to the news our a professor of International Law and security at university of copenhagen is joining us from melbourne today thanks for your time professor this does seem to be the way that the United States or at least this administration deals with things doesnt it if you dont like something you either withdraw from it or if you cant withdraw from it you throw sanctions on it. Completely agree i mean this is just kind of the latest salvo in the Trump Administrations ongoing war against the rule of law and thats the same whether its domestically or internationally what does it achieve by sanctioning in this case the chief prosecutor is it more a sweeping move thats being made to say hey look we mean business or what have actually achieve any of their what the what i would like changed. What i really think it does is it is it sheaves a distraction from president trumps ongoing problems at home with his mismanagement of the current a virus and systematic racism among the police the i. C. C. Is an easy target and they can dress essentially do whatever they want with impunity to the i. C. C. And an International Organization doesnt really have any effective way of fighting back so its kind of just cheap political point scoring i think why these people in particular. The chief prosecutor and the head of jurisdiction. I think thats probably one of the most troubling aspects of these sanctions you know its both kind of hypocritical and cowardly theyre a selection of targets if you look at the office of the prosecutor there are 5 main officials theres the prosecutor herself black woman from the gambia theres the deputy prosecutor whos a white man from canada there is the head of the jurisdiction complementarity in Cooperation Division whos a black man from the so though the head of investigations is a white man from belgium and the head of prosecutions is a white man from italy if this was such a National Emergency as the sanctions regime requires you would think that the u. S. Would have sanctioned all 5 of those officials did they know they only sanction the 2 black africans conveniently ignoring that 3 white men from nato countries and its very easy to pick on nationals of a relatively powerless african state its a very difficult thing to try to target individuals from your nato allies and so again what kind of reinforces the idea that this is just political point scoring is the fact that they didnt even bother to sanction all of the people who are involved in the afghanistan investigation so with that in mind do you think the i. C. C. Will be particularly concerned as i pointed out before its either withdrawal sanctions now the u. S. Cant withdraw from something its not a member off obviously it would be of more concern if i were in the end what does that amount. It will certainly have actual effects i mean certainly any american who is working at the court is going to have to immediately resign and come back to the u. S. Or face the you know being designated a material a sister of the Court Whether it will have a long term broad based impact on the courts operations that really depends i think on how willing particularly the european states the members of the e. U. Traditional supporters of the court are in terms of giving you know effect of these sanctions thats an open question and certainly there has been pushback against the u. S. Is extremely aggressive use of sanctions in the past by the e. U. If you think about the iranian sanctions if the e. U. Kind of comes together and says we believe in the court we dont think this is appropriate and were not going to help you execute these sanctions then the i. C. C. Might be able to kind of weather the storm but honestly i really dont know what the International Reaction will be to be fair though they safe as feisty sorts of accusations before and from a lot of african states who say that the court has unfairly targeted them. I mean is this something to be looked into the way that the i. C. C. Does its business. Theres always questions legitimate questions about the i. C. C. Is decisions about who to investigate but no matter how much a state might think theyre being unfairly targeted and i dont think the u. S. Is being unfairly targeted but no matter how much they do think that this is not the kind of appropriate response there are diplomatic mechanisms that one can pursue there are complementarity mechanisms of the i. C. C. That would allow the u. S. To avoid any kind of investigation or prosecution if the u. S. Took these allegations of torture by the cia seriously so the only real difference is the u. S. Has the power to do this kind of overt action against the court in a way that most african states that feel unfairly targeted dont. Kevin john hello really good to talk to you thank you for joining us thank you. Now typhoon has swept up the Korean Peninsula leaving at least one person dead winds reach more than 160 kilometers an hour and there is severe flooding in both the north and south of mcbride has a report now from sun in south korea. North koreas east coast cities inundated with flood waters as typhoon my sack drench is the Korean Peninsula unusual for north korea its state run t. V. Has been carrying live reports of the damage every hour my circuit already pounded the south korean island of jeju before barreling into the southeastern city of in the early hours of thursday at 1st light the amount of damage could be assessed but extensive preparations had kept it to a minimum the damage is not as much as i feared however it is bigger than then in previous years. I think a lot of preparations were in place i think this time we were ready for it as the cleanup gets underway here in busan People Living further up the Korean Peninsula are now dealing with the torrential rains brought by this typhoon many of them living in places already soaked after a summer of extreme weather north korea like the south was already suffering the effects of typhoon badly last week which came after unusually severe seasonal rains robert byrd aljazeera busan south korea. And search and rescue crews and so far found one survivor from a cargo ship carrying livestock that capsized in rough seas caused by a typhoon the ship is said to have lost an engine before it sank in these china sea close to japan it was carrying 43 crew but also nearly 6000 cattle going from new zealand to china. So what happens next with this type and luckily weve got jenny had to take us through it it was not done just yet this come on it is still a very powerful storm system but its moving quite swiftly through the Korean Peninsula has a where it is on the satellite this is it this is what is left now of the storm so no d longer do you see that care i that killed before and storm instead it really is about the remnants but also let me just point out this because this of course is our latest typhoon hi shall come into just a moment but 1st of all lets just focus in on may side because as i say it is not done just yet so it will continue to work its way north as true north korea and then eventually push up into the phone north and east of china the really heavy rain with this storm system is really ahead of it so although we are going to see some very heavy amounts of rain it will actually begin to clear quite rapidly throughout much of the Korean Peninsula sunday by friday a much dr day so it gives a chance was floodwaters to begin to recede but by then well see very heavy rain pushing into the north and east of china but also some very heavy rain for the next couple days across much of japan and then this is high shand this is the typhoon now as we go on through friday is going to continue to strengthen already by friday this will be a very powerful typhoon if this isnt on to this would be considered a category 4 as we go on into saturday its actually going to strengthen further so youre looking at winds sustained at about 240 kilometers an hour gusting higher than that and of course as it works its way up to the north northwest eventually through south they will begin to impact the ricoh audience with very severe damaging winds and very heavy amounts of rain and i cant really add before to showing you this come all is the china that is expected to take so guess what just days after typhoon at the moment this could also head straight through the caribbean is atrocious ok thank you jenny for keeping an eye on that more weather with jenny and im excuse our 1300 outstripping still to come here though weibo carious president is actually in an appeal from protesters for the government to resign and in sports well tell you which team set up the semifinal.
