U. S. Media reporting the u. S. President donald trump tried to get Health Officials to rush approval of unproven coronavirus treatments and reports on the outbreak of cook at 19 New York Times newspaper is reporting mr trump wants the government scientists to sign all treatments before they were ready to do that and other news outlets politico. Says the president s aides wanted to change weekly reports from the centers for Disease Control across the atlantic in the u. K. Stricter measures will come into force as on monday in england gatherings of more than 6 people will be banned while Clinical Trials for a vaccine well theyre also going to resume across the English Channel in the continent there are more protests against restrictions thats despite a rise in the number of cases and there have also been protests in the australian states a victorian over coded restrictions there were a challenge will tell us more about restrictions coming into force in england as of monday as a savior 1st in italy gage whos in canberra for us this hour so those pictures are pretty astonishing to watch if one and gauge is with them just take us through your reading off them. There are some quite dramatic scenes coming out of nowhere and then ones that were not usually saying in a stroller at all riot Police Holding pushing through protesters dozens of them and many who have been arrested all fines for breaking restrictions that are currently in place in melbourne we need to remember that melbourne in the state of victoria is currently under Strict Lockdown in some of the harshest measures that we have seen anywhere in the road and i think the sains that we are seeing come out of mill than some people just saying well look this is and not. Getting to the stage where we are frustrated but the same is that we have been saying coming out of milk and there has been as Huge Police Presence which has definitely outnumber the number of people on the streets but it has definitely been interesting sames as well the crimea danny landrys has called people. Who are protesting against these measures he says theyre in place to protect Peoples Health and to make sure limited amount of people as possible die from this virus but of course the economic and social implications that it is having is widespread the Business Community and the federal government as well has been quite critical ringback about how the victorian government has been dealing with this crisis and with the lock down it was supposed to be ending on sunday that it was extended for another 2 weeks. There has been a downward trajectory of the number of people infected with that 19 and some of the restrictions will be partly eased on monday but they will still be under lockdown the 5000000 people in the city of melbourne and many just following thing that the situation does in. In the days and weeks ahead so they can get back to normal we their lives because theres a recession here in the mornings and 1000000 people out and that cannot change until the whole situation is under control and summer days restrictions are eased nicolas cage reporting live from camber of the news article good to talk to you thank you very much live now to brighton on the south coast of the u. K. Worried chalons joins us from there so rory im a married man with 4 kids i cant as of monday invite the grandparents round for a barbecue by i can send my kids off to university or school how does that work. Here this is the question that many people are asking lots of other questions as well im a married man with 3 kids and my kids cant see that grandparents of at the same time either its being called the rule of 6 and it comes in on monday so people here in brighton are enjoying you know the kind of the last day out in the autumn sunshine before these new types of restrictions come in the rules sounds snappy enough and simple enough and in essence say it is you cant meet in social groups of more than 6 people and unless its in an educational environment and less in a professional environment or unless your family has already been given that number anyway but as you say people are starting out at this and try to work out all the leading the consistencies so why is it that a student who sits in a classroom with 35 other students can then go and meet more than 7 of those students socially in the evening why are taxi drivers not sure about whether they can pick up more than 6 people in in their cars there are all sorts of questions like this but in essence this isnt about logic its not about. Consistency its just a way for the government to try to limit social interaction as much as it can without hurting education and without hurting britains battered economy further and shiites avoid the worst ravages of a 2nd wave because out there across the cross the English Channel france is coping at the moment with 10000 new cases a day so lawmakers in england looking at that why is it this might be coming here as well and they want to try and avoid. A more Strict National lockdown a proper lockdown at any point in the future if this doesnt work and despite whats going to happen on monday rory is theres still this disconnect between if you drive north and cross the border into scotland or wales or Northern Ireland youve got to move from one kind of jurisdiction of strictures over what you can and cannot do to another jurisdiction of what you can and cannot do. Yeah each part of the u. K. Has its own rules and regulations about this and what we see. That she ration of this crisis is that this is kind of exacerbated the rift that exists already in the United Kingdom that its got loans is doing things differently wales is doing things differently Northern Ireland is doing things differently and certainly when it comes to the relationship between scotland and england scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. The kind of tensions that were already there we had a referendum for Scottish Independence in 2014. And the vote has happened since then that has also you claimed tensions. The kind of disparity between the way that england has dealt with it and the way the scot is dealt with it has also fuel that sense of distance between edinburgh and between london and i think is increasing an independence here its within scotland as we speak. Correspondent there reporting live from brighton in sussex. Lots more ground still to cover for you here on the news hour including an update on those landmark talks between the Afghan Government and the taliban in doha and the sports news the l. A. Lakers win a trip to the n. B. A. Conference finals for the 1st time in 10 years that story coming up with farai in about 35 minutes. Ok in russia millions of people are casting their ballots in a number of local elections today theyre electing members of regional parliaments municipalities and governors sunday is the 3rd and final day of voting held over several days because of the coronavirus pandemic while the elections are being held a year ahead of parliamentary polls and they are seen as a referendum on president Vladimir Putins popularity the poisoning of russias main Opposition Leader alexina valmy has cast a shadow though his supporters have been campaigning for candidates who will challenge the government in the elections its the 2nd time russians are voting in a major election during the pandemic the economy is struggling millions are unemployed rare protests in the far Eastern Region of couple rovs have been happening now for 2 months and some are suggesting the unrest in belarus could have an impact lets talk to alexandra story in a rich life for us in moscow alexandra what are the issues that people are voting on. Well you see this elections as you said are happening on many levels all across the Russian Federation and they are happening in times of economical crisis and they make theyre happening when the approval rates of both putin and the Ruling Party United Russia are dropping and they drop significantly so the united russia actually has 43 percent of disApproval Rating wouldnt himself for his trust rating is 23 percent only and hes Approval Rating is 60 percent 60 percent referring to how people are viewing basically his Foreign Policy as the analysts explain so this is seen indeed as kind of a referendum for the next years elections and this is also why because in certain region there is candidates who have chances of for instance becoming the governor orders candidates that can enter regional parliaments so the thought is the kremlin are going to close well be watching this how it is happening but also the regional elites have to prove themselves to the center to the kremlin whether or not they have things under control in their regions we should not expect a lot of surprises in the for instance southern european parts of russia where the governors and local authorities are running ships but this is also the areas from which there are numerous regularities reported irregularities reported the magnitude of them we of course cannot estimate at this moment they are concerning that there is in the protocols more votes than actual voters that showed up or that there is a multiple vote casting and so on and so forth however in other parts of russia siberia things are a bit difference a barrier has proven in the past couple of years and lately very very vocally in the hopes that that that they do have brought this but then show that they are very reactive to the things they dislike and there is where we can expect things to be changing. Can i reflect later on in a year for the duma election also it will give a signal in what direction to change or rather to regroup a for the kremlin itself alexander thank you very much lets bring in ben noble hes a lecturer in russian politics at u. C. L. In london he joins us on skype from there ben welcome back to the news so how important a test is this not of local government but of lot of putin its absolutely crucial and i think the report before it really hit the nail on the head this is all a dress rehearsal for next year is elections for the state duma those are absolutely crucial and we have to bear one thing in mind united russia which is the party supported by the kremlin at the beginning of 2018 has an Approval Rating of 50 cents now that Approval Rating is just about 30 and thats really worrying for the kremlin because they really want to receive a constitutional or some type of majority in the federal parliament because without that we might see a very different type of politics in russia hussein has been able to command the country partly because he has been able to rely on a majority of united russia within the parliament if they lose that majority then things could be different and so the kremlin is trying to see what happens in these local and Regional Elections to calibrate maybe what they might have to change what they might need to do differently Going Forward for the 2021 federal parliamentary elections ok when we talk about them changing what they do potentially and moving forward to those parliamentary elections i see that mr novell these people are trying to get traction with smart voting systems i. E. Theyve got a website theyre asking people to engage with that because theyre kind of ageing towards telling people to do tactical voting bot do it and vote for the people we tell you to vote for. I mean its more than edging towards tactical voting it is precisely tactical voting the prime directive according to romneys team as part of the smart folks in project is to encourage people to vote for the candid that they think is most likely to be able to challenge the kremlin backed the authority backed candidate it and so its precisely to try and stop united russia from being able to secure an elected office a more broadly speaking i dont think than of any team is expected saying it really sensational results as a result of smart though seeing today and when we find out the results lets say and tomorrow but what theyre trying to do is to chip away at the kremlins image of invincibility that the kremlin completely controls elections if through smart votes in the valley and his team can demonstrate that there is scope for competition that there is scope for opposition success then that might lead to a Snowball Effect and thats something that the kremlin is incredibly worried about ok we have not seen protests weve been discussing them we have not seen protests recently in those far flung areas of russia people who are on the face of it i guess it be safe to say support mr novelli and everything he stands for no easy way to ask you this question ben if in a volley was dead would we have seen more protests given that the starting point for the protest movement over the past 2 weeks has been 0. I think its important to stress that we have seen protests as it were to be mentioned and how about us for example but precisely we havent seen protests in relation to the poisoning out about me or at least widespread right spread protests part of that i think is as you suggest because he hasnt died that might seem insensitive but that could be part of the equation what id also like to stress is that people are being prevented from protesting on the streets as they might do normally because of that coronavirus related restrictions so they are for a teaser nipping in the bud any attempts of people to go onto the streets to protest what they see as being the kremlins involvement in alexei in around these poisoning its really an unknown question to what extent is poisoning will increase the process votes today in the local and Regional Elections ok we must leave it there ben noble thank you very much ok well another protest is expected in the below russian capital minsk against the president there Alexander Lukashenko it follows a demonstration on saturday which saw police violently detaining dozens of women more than 10000 women defied the government crackdown to rally in the city theyve been demanding a crushing because resignations and she was the winner of last months disputed elections critics say the vote was rigged. Several demonstrators have been injured by the police in Eastern Libya it happened in the region of moncho which is under the control of the warlords. The protesters were calling for the resignation of one of his Security Officials who they blame for breaking up an earlier rally there has been widespread on rest in the area with demands for improve Living Conditions and an end to corruption malik traina joins us live now from Misrata Malik tell us more about what happened there. Well peter for the 3rd consecutive day weve witnessed protests in Eastern Libya and the and demonstrators are upset due to the deteriorating Living Conditions within the country theres a lack of cash within banks so Government Employees and regular employees lined up in long lines for hours at banks and theyre not able to pull out their salaries or any funds also there are long power cuts across the country according to the National Oil Corporation this is due to the oil closures now the oil the oil ports in the oil fields a great diesel that feed the power stations across the country and so we saw protests and Eastern Libya people are upset due to due to these issues now its not just in Eastern Libya in recent weeks weve seen protests across western libya as well in tripoli we saw protests here in misrata in front of the Municipal Council council which is right behind me we saw protests continue but here in misrata after city elections on september 3rd people have sort of calmed down i think they feel at least here they were able to gain power and vote their representatives back into power now local city elections are scheduled to take place across western and southern libya recently we saw in areas where there are hundreds of loyalists they disrupted and hauled to city elections in those areas i think the feeling here is that the only way forward is to bring back power to the people where they can elect for parliamentary and president ial elections so they want to elect those in power theyre sort of sick and tired of these people that have been in power for years if we remember the un facilitated talks in 2015 in morocco brought forth the g. N. A. T. Thats the government of national corps. Internationally recognized in tripoli they were supposed to be a Transitional Government for short period of time and then hold elections 5 years 5 years down the line we still have that same government and we have the eastern based government loyal to warlord a Police Officer who has recently failed to take control militarily of the capital tripoli so a lot of people are upset they want they want our back to the people they want to vote on on who represents them as far as the people are concerned who would identify themselves as supporting does this Current Situation damage his standing with them. I think i think it does but i think at the same time in Eastern Libya after has proven to to take out any dissent with an iron fist so i think people in Eastern Libya are really careful not to name names not to blame after for the deteriorating conditions theyre afraid perhaps of what may happen so so theres just a general call in which they are unhappy with the Living Conditions at the moment thank you very much money train a correspondent in misrata.

Eating all that money. He has there and if they dont they dont. An image can change the way we see the womb if we had not seen this week well be talking about it it can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created this longing for a full opportunity it can obscure the truth he says only do you can a news story like this play on the talking coins for pretty i dont think it can forge narratives or rewrite from the listening post gives you the full picture. Welcome back youre watching the news coming to you live from your headlining stories the authorities in greece of started moving refugees to a new site on the island of last boss after their camp on tuesday refugees have been demanding humanitarian assistance and many are refusing to be relocated. Millions of russians are voting in local elections today they are widely seen as a test for the governing United Russia Party but they are being overshadowed by the poisoning of the Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny and theres been protests for a 2nd straight day in the australian states victoria over covert restrictions dozens of people who find the rest of the states been australias coronavirus hotspot but restrictions will be slightly from monday. Now were going to unpack bricks it if we can in the u. K. 2 former Prime Ministers have urged m. P. s to reject a government bill that will overturn an earlier Withdrawal Agreement with the e. U. Tony blair and john major say Boris Johnsons proposed bill is quote embarrassing the nation they say itll damage the Peace Process in Northern Ireland and negotiations for future trade deals the e. U. Is threatening legal action mr johnson is proposing to alter the agreement on the movement of goods and people between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland which was put in place to prevent a socalled hard border and the us House Speaker nancy pelosi has warned there will be no trade deal with washington if the British Government undermines the 1998 good friday agreement which ended the conflict in Northern Ireland good friday accords are very high priority for us democrats and republicans house and senate so that if the u. K. If anything to undermine the good friday accords they should not as i told them in the u. K. For different elements of french the haitian there they should not even think about having a u. S. U. K. By lateral trade agreement. Lets bring in our so campbell hes the former u. K. Prime minister tony blair spokesman and director of communications he joins us from london so mr campbell we have tony blair and john major today with this open letter in the press excoriating Boris Johnson and making the perfectly valid accurate point that he won an election on a deal that he was involved in but now fast forward 89 months and that deals and nonstarter how does that come about. Well it comes about from the fact that the country im afraid elected a complete charlatan as Prime Minister now think the country is beginning to see that perhaps more clearly i think both tony blair and john major tony blair as he said i used to work sometimes tells me that i go to over the top in my criticisms of Boris Johnson and he was held back i think in terms of some of his rhetoric about johnson but john major. A conservative Prime Minister who jewing cerys amaze time although he had very different views on some issues pretty much kept his head down i think for him to come out today and combine with a labor Prime Minister and say what they have said together about the current Prime Minister about the current governments funding of the brits in the damage theyre doing to u. K. Standing around the d world i think is extraordinary and the worry for me however is that a lot of these m. P. s knew him jury m. P. s i suspect that their vision and their version of what the jury can see is in 2020 doesnt bear sufficient relation to what john majors jury party did and i think that the 2 big points that theyre making want to the damage done to our reputation in the world when you openly have a Prime Minister and i kept saying that they see nothing wrong in breaking an International Treaty breaking their word it was as you say negotiated a few months ago under which he won a general election and secondly the directs and significant threat that this poses to the good friday agreement are it shows is that john major and tony blair care about that Boris Johnson doesnt thats my next point Boris Johnson says he is on uring the spirit of the good friday agreement as we know that in effect codifies peace in Northern Ireland and the positive backwash from peace in Northern Ireland south across the border into the republic can he honor the good friday agreement and break International Law International Statutes to get bricks it through in the way that hes probably going to try to. Well hes definitely going to try to the question is whether what he says is true and i think when you consider that john major started this process when he was the conservative Prime Minister tony blair then picked up that baton and took it forward and every Single Person who was involved in the making of the good friday agreement who has been asked their opinion has said that when Boris Johnson says this is to uphold the good friday agreement hes talking through his backside and he knows that and if he doesnt know that he doesnt know or doesnt care about the reality of the workings of the good friday agreement and now hes and let me tell you as well since this latest gambit was flown into the east about a week just over a week ago now maybe given by my reckoning about 7 different very Different Reasons very different excuses very different justifications and the reason for that is there isnt one so hes played fast and loose and proved with the Peace Process hes playing fast and loose with the reputation of britain as a country that our polls and believes in the rule of law and that is a very very dangerous place for a country to be ok alison just let me internationalize this for the next 30 seconds or so briefly because we are running out of time please when you hear nancy pelosi saying look trade deal for get it not going to happen but breaks it on the other end of that statement from her i guess is about sovereignty but the reality of sovereignty might be if youre if youre calling this right you seem to be saying sovereignty intact sovereignty might be the u. K. Wandering around with a begging bowl saying look please you know weve jettisoned all those productive trade deals because of brics sic can you please do some business with us. What we had them flying the flag the other day and celebrating because theyd theyd reached a trade agreement with japan it will replace a fraction of what were going to lose as a result of the truck the trade deals that were jettisoning as a result of the decision to leave the European Union know that that is that the country and even though i was on the other side we have to accept the question lender who is how can we have a situation where a government a Prime Minister really good shape to an agreement who courageous himself is a fantastic negotiator said this is an amazing triumph of the u. K. This was going to be the basis on which we not to see wins a general election although not basis by calling is a unready deal and then says well actually no its a terrible deal its a european plot to break up the United Kingdom ok this is making inroads as john major and tony blair say a laughingstock around the world you spent years at the heart of government whats going on here i mean this government generally had weeks to prepare for the 1st wave of coronavirus mr johnson famously didnt go to 5 cobra meetings they had 5 months to prepare for the a level fiasco you know where 18 year olds were in a mess because of the way they the government they didnt cook the books but they altered results and theyve had 5 years since the bracks it vote to find a solution to the irish border issue and yet the inertia keeps on coming back whats going on there. Well i repeat the point i made earlier the country has elected somebody as Prime Minister who is morally complex and compton surely actually incapable of doing the job were talking about somebody here who has trumped industry god with the truth who has surrounded himself with largely 2nd rate people who are not up to the jobs that theyre doing and who whether its on coke whether its on breaks it whether as you say its on education cares only about the narrative and the messaging and the story lines so the story line is is as against europe and hamlet consequences and you played that clip nonsi pelosi that is a serious person addressing a serious issue in a serious way tragically we have a Prime Minister and the government there is not serious and does not take seriously the responsibilities that they have for the future of the country and it is a tragedy. Ours to campbell there in london former advisor to tony blair good to talk to mr campbell thank you very much thank you after a day of ceremony and statements of hope the taliban and the Afghan Government will now get down to the hard work of trying to end decades of war and conflict but as the talks got underway in the cattery capital doha there were multiple attacks back in afghanistan the government says they were taliban attacks in 18 provinces on saturday and the taliban says there were 10 government assaults despite these accusations the sides are being urged to seize an opportunity to secure peace for future generations so hell show he and as a member of the Taliban Negotiating Team he reiterated here the belief that it will take time and patience to overcome think differences with the Afghan Government including the groups and systems on an islamic system for the country but he says he is optimistic. Of course they are out of status there are a lot of skills when you are a started to talk. But that money comes about. When drawn out of it would seem a minus on ending the occupation but after 4 talks. In the i. Phone discussion he chose a solution and he had that and he gave me in signs that if women down 21 feet were the enemy i am hopeful that did it will be my prompts in the week ahead but when david h. A solution thats going.

Thank you big reporting from iraq.
