A scathing report showing the scale of mishandled covert 900. 00 funds in south africa well look at that and other countries facing similar criticism. And a quarter of a century after the bay went online we will see how its founder is now backing efforts to rein in and even break up the tech giants and sport contracting fortunes for the top seats at the u. S. South then that job which is through round 3 but carol this comeback has been knocked out. To months out from the u. S. President ial election and donald trump is again sowing doubts about mail in ballots he has suggested people tried voting twice in november as a way to test the anti fraud efforts also speaking on another big election issue trumps threaten to cut funding from the cities he accuses of allowing violence and he will start with the supporters from the housing. In the battleground state of North Carolina every vote counts but donald trump said voters should be concerned about Election Fraud and should try to vote twice let a percentage and let him go vote out of their systems as good as they say it is then obviously they will be able to vote if it isnt job related theyll be able to vote so thats the way it is intentionally voting twice is illegal and is a crime in many states in North Carolina its a felony attorney general william p. Barr was asked during a c. N. N. T. V. Interview to respond to trumps comments the governments top lawyer said he didnt know the election laws in every state bar said widespread vote by mail is very open to fraud and coersion is reckless and dangerous and people are playing with fire according to an analysis by the Washington Post newspaper of 3 vote by mail states officials identified a fraction of one percent as having double voted in the 20162800 combined in a written memo trump went on to threaten to cut funding to cities which he says allow anarchy and violence hes requested a federal funding review of Portland Seattle new york and washington d. C. Its not legal it violates the temp amendment to the constitution and trump knows that this is purely political theater where 7 i am. The cities in question all have democratic mayors and theyve all been the scenes of major protests against racism and Police Brutality why are africanamerican still dying at the hands of Law Enforcement in this country and show are white people so no white people what a terrible question to ask so or why people more white people by the way more white people. Another study by the Washington Post found that black americans are killed at a rate more than twice as high as whites trumps rival in novembers election and the democratic president ial candidate joe biden says theres only one way to move forward this is not who we are at her best america is always bad. And if i being to do it it will be again generous confident and optimistic nation full of hope and result biden is ahead in several recent National Polls following both parties conventions leo harding aljazeera. Not in the morning in washington kimberly how cuts of the white house morning kimberly lets move things on from that side of things and see whats coming up today joe biden heading to condition wisconsin. Yeah hes going to can osha wisconsin and its important to point out that this is a city that has had not only protests but a lot of unrest more than 100 buildings there have been destroyed 200 arrests so its really been embroiled in instability now donald trump what there on tuesday trying to bring about calm thats not what happened in fact there were more protests he did not meet with the family of jacob blake the African American man who was shot 7 times in the back by a white Police Officer so now this is a test for joe biden to add what he might be able to do if he were to become president will he be able to have a quail some of the end rest that exists will he be able to restore order will he be able to bring about healing hes promised to do all those things we know that when hes on the ground and can ocean wisconsin hes going to be meeting with Civic Leaders hes also going to be meeting with Law Enforcement and with the family of jacob blake so this is a major test of leadership for joe biden and a real opportunity for him to show that he can promote healing in contrast to what he says is president trumps division speaking of which and i referenced this a little bit earlier the issue of dont trump saying he would withdraw funding a withdrawal support from certain cities democrat cities can you expand on that a little. Well theres no question is as leah pointed out in her report this is likely to face a significant legal challenge because the question becomes is this being done to quell and rust or is this being done for political purposes given the fact that many of these cities that seem to be identified in the attorney general have 14 days to do that are controlled by Democratic Leaders that of course donald trump is a republican so the question becomes whether or not he is targeting his political opponents now in the memo the federal government is accusing these Democratic Leaders of abdicating their duties in other words not keeping citizens safe what is clear in all of this is what the president s trying to do in a couple of things draw a line of contrasts and also a distraction in terms of the contrast hes trying to project this very tough law and order message but hes also trying to detract from the fact that once again even today weve had more unemployment claims filed and there are millions of americans out of work and the cases of coke that 19 continue to rise kimberly how could so White House Correspondent thank you cant even talk to. Me while the release of Police Body Camera video of a black americans death has provoked calls for officers to be charged with is killing protesters run even raunchiest in new york state after the videos release which the city mayor describes as Disturbing Police were called when daniel proved ran naked in the street during a Mental Health crisis officers put a hood on him and then on his back he died when taken off life support 7 days later in march. So lets look at some numbers here to try to figure out what the true story is according to the Washington Post 1022 people have been shot and killed by police in the u. S. In the past year half of that total number of those killed were white whets what donald trump was talking about earlier however black americans are shot at a disproportionate right 32. 00 per 1000000 people hispanic americans killed another disproportionate right 24. 00 per 1000000 the figure for white americans is 13 which is less than half the right of those who are black so were going to talk survives a patel about this joining us from hampton in new york codirector of the Libyan National Security Program at the Brennan Center for justice thanks for your time as patel those numbers pretty much laid to rest by mean we saw we heard donald trump in his interview with c. B. S. Saying no more white people are killed white People Killed too when you break down the numbers like that its hard to argue. I think it really is hard to argue its a preposterous claim to make you know policing in the United States has always been racially biased and the shooting of black men are just fortunate raves you know you have the statistics but you also have the names you know the stories in the newspaper every day to play here there eric arnett i mean there are so many and we see these stories every day and the number simply you know bear out what our intuition tells us that something is wrong here and frankly its also part of a long legacy of how Police Departments have treated africanamerican men and you had stop and frisk in new york city again you know 90 plus percent targeting africanamerican latino men even though white men sorry way people and africanamerican latino as you know have drugs and contraband about the same age so this is a a long standing story. Why do you think i am sorry to interrupt you why do you think then with everything youve just outlined there it is so hard for not just donald trump but for his administration to actually admit this bill but the attorney general has come out and said that this isnt true either. Well i mean its not just missed this is mr ation that has difficulty getting here and youll recall the former f. B. I. James comey was also you know very. Very negative about some of the protests going on around Police Brutality back in at 114 so this isnt a long standing. Position one source known which is to deny that there are systemic problems and to plain any misconduct on do its a few bad apples theory because thats very convenient for that right it means that you can you know sort of you know prosecuting one or 2 people rather than stepping back and looking to see what are the structural racist. Issues that are taking place in policing around the country what would you do i think you have actually advised Police Forces in the past what would you suggest because again everything youve described is systemic and its historic it doesnt just change with if there is a change in the white house and event it doesnt just change on a dime like that. So you think for the 1st time i was going to take a long time to change right because least in the United States its not federally controlled right its local control so that only have a certain amount of leverage but i think there are 3 things that we can choose one is you know the federal government gives large amounts of funding to Police Departments so its really important that that funding is conditioned on finding ways to actually deal with these kinds of issues the 2nd thing thats really important is that you know is that the issue around policing culture. You know weve seen an increasingly militarized aggressive policing model thats been adopted in the United States oftentimes you know drawing lessons from insurgency operations in iraq and afghanistan and using a lot of the leftover military equipment so we need to move away from that and again the federal government actually has a role there because they fund and provide most of that military equipment and then the 3rd thing which perhaps is the 1st thing is to acknowledge their extent of the problem and you know until we actually all agree that this is a fundamental problem that requires a real rethinking of policing is done in this country i dont think wed get very far and one part of that which many people have spoken about is the fact that Police Officers are often called to respond to Mental Health issues or social issues and i dont think the police like that and i dont think you know they are particularly effective in those roles and what weve been doing as a country is just throwing more money in training and saying yes it has continued to do that but we really need to pull back from that model into a model that really makes sure that policing is limited to look nice needs to do to tell us from the Brennan Center for justice great talking to you thank you and much. One of the note on the elections facebook has announced its to prevent its platform from being exploited in the weeks leading up to the us election it will stop accepting new political ads 7 days before election day but it will continue showing those already in the system c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg says he is concerned about a period of intense claims and counterclaims as the final results are counted facebook has previously faced criticism for not doing enough to fact check articles and claims which are made on the platform or on to other news the kremlin rejecting accusations that russia is responsible for the poisoning of alexei after germany said it has unequivocal proof the opposition figure was poisoned with novacek nerve agent he is seriously ill in a bill in hospital after collapsing on a flight in russia 2 weeks ago the german chancellor Angela Merkel said the poisoning is attempted murder and that only russia can answer the serious questions raised weve got to corresponds to talk about this lawrence lives in london because you may remember the high profile not the poisoning in the u. K. A couple of years ago were going to get a bit of context from lawrence through that but were going to start with Alexandra Steele one of each got freud in moscow no surprise that moscow denies this does it offer any other reasoning or theories. Well the i. D. F. Is not surprised that theyre denying these accusations and so far from the official level there is no other theory offered what theyre saying is basically we were not given any proof or substantial proof for these statements and what could possibly be the motive now the spokesperson of russian president Vladimir Putin. Said that noted that no one is accusing russia directly but he also said that such accusations are without any bases and the reason that the sanctions talkies unexceptable in general and he sees no reasons why there would be sanctions he also said that russia is very interested to get to the bottom of what happened with aleksei now viney but has to have its own questions answered 1st then he was actually talking about at this official request for all the analysis results and data medical day 1000 a vial needs to be given to russia from german hospital here get a notice that in russia all the tests show that there was no poisoning or that none of the. Results pointed to well actually they fought found no poisoning and this was also the statement from the hospital which did the lab on the biomaterials of me and that we here being repeated again and again as well as this wish to get a full access to everything that the germany says barreled through that we have some lower officials and not excluding that this is for instance operation of some special Intelligence Special intelligence operation of some western Intelligence Services that this might be all a set up and that one should not exclude the this so there is this parallel. Kind of wave of seeding the seeds of that with on what is coming from. German officials ok thats the view from moscow alexandra thank you for that lets go to Lawrence Leigh in london. And lawrence the British Government 2 years ago was in a similar position as the germans are in fact similar poisoning it seems how far did they get with this sort of challenging of the russians and other any lessons to learn. Well the difference in the situation clearly was this in the us event. Though there was a huge body of evidence directly linking it to the russians that there was the video of the 2 suspects coming into the country there was video of them Walking Around soles bre there was not a chalk all over the door of the of the scripture family households is crippling his daughter who were poisoned then there was another bottle if you remember of not a chop disguised as a perf you know which ended up in a bin and a poor woman picked it up thing it was a perfect human spade on a self and then died as a result so they had absolutely primary de facto empirical evidence linking this to the russians and still they didnt get anywhere that the difference obviously with this is in a valley collapsed inside russia and so clearly is impossible very body actually from the outside to get into russia to get that sort of evidence that the u. K. Had that selling now obviously the germans say its not shock its straight out of the same playbook that one of the interesting things i think amal is that if you listen to what the russian response that was on was just laying out then. It is absolutely identical to what they said when the when this cripples were poisoned there is no proof you can say it was us it might have been a western conspiracy and the other thing that they said was that if you want then we can help with the investigation they said that about novelli just today and they also said that when when this trouble investigation is going on as well so it is just a form of words of the use every single time and i think what it demonstrates for all the talk about a paneuropean response and russia call allow this to go on and has to explain itself its its a lot of angry words but theres not much to suggest that any of these western countries can do anything really about it and stuff lawrence lay thank you for that lawrence in london for us today. A little over a quarter past the hour here is whats coming up the cleanup after the Korean Peninsula is hit by its 2nd typhoon in a week voting begins in libyas local elections but because of the conflict not everyone will be casting their ballots and Sport International football returns to europe for the 1st time since the coronavirus locked down fire is here with that i would like to. Call russias Prime Minister mikhail is in meeting the president Alexander Lukashenko who is of course faced weeks of protests there russia said it would send police in to build a roost if needed the demonstrators accuse look at the river rigging last months election he is scheduled to meet russias president Vladimir Putin in the coming week. Bernard smith covering the story from neighboring lithuania hes in vilnius there of course on able to get in to belarus to cover this one high bernard what more you hearing about this particular visit and what does it say about the levels of russian support. Not to me if theres incentives Prime Minister to stand down its a mens to really seal the deal for moscow to make it clear to me if putin is going to back. The now and that was never clear before in the run up to the president ial election in mens homes the 9th shanker in fact used to said there was threats of russian into ference in his countrys affairs if people didnt vote for him polenta had claimed he won with 8 percent the full as now as we know tens of thousands of people out on the streets of men who reject that and many most western powers of also rejected that 80 percent result on the calling for every election putin has decided but who has decided its about. Previously there was no love lost between these 2 leaders but the payoff for putin may well be that way once had an irritating and not very compliant neighbor to the south well now look. Its viable to vote in the. Thank you venice myth for that update on the wrist from bill yes. Lets get a coronavirus update now were starting in africa protests there over scandals related to the purchase of medical equipment 1st south africa with the orders to general found frightening findings that these words in the allocation of coded 900 funds in some cases the personal protective equipment was purchased 5 times more than the suggested price in kenya the president ordered an investigation into the state agency that handles medical supplies allegations there some officials and businessmen stole 400000000. 00 during the procurement process and in nigeria will doctors in the state run hospitals there have been striking over a lack of people he more than 800. 00 Health Workers have been infected there so weve got more from nigeria shortly with. And also malcolm webb is in nairobi but will start for me to miller went to a protest in south africa the Health Workers in pretoria. A 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 are still 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 revolves around alleged corruption weve spoken to a number of Health Workers who have said that there isnt enough p. P. In hospitals sometimes nonna 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 p. P. E. Often have connections a political connections 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. 00 have died so far and this is what angers the protesters behind us they say that so the 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 ept and corrupt only worsening the Health Crisis in the country ok so that south africa now Nairobi Kenya with Malcolm Malcolm i mentioned 400000000. 00 apparently stolen strikes going on as well whats happening. More than 800 Kenyan Health care workers have been infected with coded 19 since the pandemic reached kenya 16 of died and Health Care Workers unions say that the government failed to look after their safety and their welfare and one of their complaints leading them to threaten a National Strike thats meant to start on monday one of their complaints has been lack of protective equipment and also defective protective equipment and they connect that to the raft of corruption scandals that have come about in recent weeks weve guarding covert emergency funds theft of funds and procurement now theres been evidence of corruption regarding the coded response ever since the beginning of the pandemic within the last few weeks its been well documented in the kenyan press and also by Anti Corruption campaigners some of the alleged scandals include theft of funds theft of donated equipment thats them being sold back to the Public Health sector and also briefcase companies being set up overnight and winning substantial contracts then supplying defective equipment highly inflated prices now the Health Minister just yesterday was speaking to a Senate Committee about this he denied responsibility although some people have been calling for him to resign and he said its not him pointed the finger towards people below him and also said that some of that 400000000 that is allegedly missing can actually be accounted for meanwhile Health Care Unions are in talks with the government but if they dont reach a deal within the next few days if their strike goes ahead on monday as they say they intend to do that could be crippling for kenyas Public Health services malcolm where ben nairobi thank you for that and now are. In nigeria how does the situation compare there. Well basically there are no exact figures official figures as to how much the government has spent on dealing with covered 19 or how much the local Business Community has contributed all external aid that flowed into idea regarding the amount or the number the quantity of equipment the have been supplied for the Health Sector but one would have been hearing since the outbreak here in nigeria loud voices from the medical and Health Workers unions complaining about insufficient or even like of p. P. Easy in hospitals since then weve seen sutton a number of strikes by Health Workers and complains protests and what have you right now as we talk one of the medical associations in nigeria the National Association of resident doctors is deliberating on the next line of action this is a union that has called on its members by the way they constitute a significant population or a significant number of the medical workers in nigeria apart from the larger body of the Niger Medical Association they call in their members to go out on strike over not only shortage of people ease in hospitals but also the lack of p. Ment of their as an allowance allows is being given to Health Workers who are working in isolation or Treatment Centers for victims of covered 19 in nigeria thats the situation right now across the country thank you ahmed interests and. Before we get to the break well have a look at the weather jenny is here. Its probably a safe distance and. Right you know we were so focused on storms in the u. S. Last week 2 more over here now and we were over here and you know what i mean i had to say earlier 2 storms and say so we can most north korea and south korea could be another one could be opened 3 in 2 weeks so yeah let me start straightaway the satellite this is it and in fact ill just show you exactly what we all talk about this one didnt hunt down here in the south this is high shine but this is still no really even the remnants of what was the typhoon may stop because it is still a very powerful storm it is moving north of course as we continue through the day and on into friday but still the winds a very strong with this ystem the rain of course is moving along with it so north as heavy across both north and south korea and as you head on into friday it really does push rod a weapon to the north and east of china but we could of course have damage there on a could also see some flooding also noticed a lot of blue this rain of course quite extended across much of japan but this is high fashion this is an exciting food and its tender taking a very similar track to may say now as you can see its moving quite slowly its going to begin to pick up speed a little bit but its still really out there over open waters however by the end of saturday it does really begin to have an impact across the island and look at these winds by then we could have gusts of 300 kilometers an hour so friday and saturday this it was the it would be considered a category 4 storm so very dangerous indeed and has a say in terms of where its heading next this is the forecast track now of course come all of that could change but for now this could then head across the same area as we head through this weekend sunday on into monday right thank you jenny for that Stinney Harrison with the world weather.

Student unions in me and maher are urging people to boycott novembers general election they say the country to build real democracy as long as the constitution reserves a quarter of all parliamentary seats for the army or and so he has the story. In myanmar telltale signs that a general election is coming down town yangon try shows 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 myanmar 2nd 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 count 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 that 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 in my view we 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 ceasefire 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 7 more 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 italy aljazeera. The United Nations is highlighting the impact coronavirus is having on the education of young refugees in this report from the u. N. H. C. R. It says the pandemic threatens to reverse years of gains with girls in particular of concern in fact they already have less access to education than boys and its estimated half of refugee girls in secondary school wont return if and when the classrooms where you open governments in the big in the private sector are being urged to do more to avoid what could be a lost generation around half 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 level that things are really quite worrying because those are the really. For student develop skills vocation langridge and so on and to build those tools that let allow them to work and lead independent lives in future and so those numbers are the worrying and in the case of. The recent measures whether thats healthy whether thats the Economic Impact is it was having a really adverse effect on record you cation around well it is of course a global problem the estimates are that Something Like 1600000000 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 dumped because for them this is an emergency on top of an emergency they are already living in very different conditions 85 percent of them in developing countries with very scarce resources difficult to find jobs to earn a living and so on so its like a double whammy. For refugees.
