Seeking justice for Briana Taylor protesters are right again in the u. S. As 3 policemen escape charges for her death. Long running protests in thailand forced parliament to delay plans to amend the constitution. And mozambique asked for help from the e. U. To find armed groups who forced tens of thousands of people from their homes. Now beginning this news hour in the United States where Senior Republicans are distancing themselves from Donald Trumps refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election in november the president was a vase of when asked about it on wednesday. Well have to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballot surges esther and the people arriving committed to making sure that theres a nice little word for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and youll have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots out of control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else the Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell weighed in on twitter just over an hour ago he said the winner of the election will be inaugurated in january after an orderly transition just as there has been since 792 lets speak to our White House Correspondent Kimberly Hawkins live for us in washington d. C. As ever been an occasion when a president has said this prior to an election. Not in modern history and that is what is the concern of so Many Americans on both the right and the left what you read there from Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader the Top Republican in the u. S. Senate is essentially what many were looking to the u. S. President to do and that is to reassure americans that the cornerstone of american democracy that peaceful transition of power is still going to occur and what happened in that wednesday press conference with the u. S. President donald trump is that he didnt do that he did just the opposite he suggested not only that he felt that there would be a continuation that he would win the election but that he may not accept the results of the election now the u. S. President has repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the election given the fact that he says he feels uncomfortable with mail in voting that he believes that there is the potential for fraud but given that there is the pen devotee of the United States that so Many Americans do not feel comfortable with in person voting because of concerns about needing to social distance that they are turning to mail in ballots of a scale weve not seen in recent memory so this is what the president has done essentially thats what his critics are arguing is that he has undermined the integrity of the vote that he may not accept the results of the vote that is why we see the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell swooping in to try to reassure americans in the absence of the president doing what is traditionally the role of the president meanwhile President Trump has been paying his respects to a Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died at the age of 87. 00 after a battle with pancreatic cancer he was at the Supreme Court and i understand that he was heckled by some members of the public when he was there tell us about what happened. Yeah this was really astonishing and it seemed to be an uncomfortable moment for President Trump along with 1st lady malani a trump what happened was the u. S. President was standing behind the flag draped coffin of the beloved Ruth Bader Ginsburg of course a liberal justice who is really an iconic. Role model for so many women in the United States and for days there have been lines draped or wrapped around the block of people paying their respects to her as the president did but when he did many of the supporters of Ruth Bader Ginsburg began to boo him they began to chant vote him out and they also chanted honor her wish what are they talking about there will reportedly Ruth Bader Ginsburgs crown daughter understood from Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the moments before she died that her dying wish was to have her replacement named after the u. S. Election in other words letting the American People have their voice in choosing a president and that president could then in fact make the Supreme Court replacement or pick now the u. S. President has said he is not going to do that and this is constitutional duty to fill this spot before the election something hes promised to do very swiftly in fact were looking ahead to saturday when he will name his pick but in the midst of all of this many people saying that that is not the wishes of the Supreme Court justice and as he paid her respects they reminded him of that company hold could bring us up to date from washington d. C. Kimberly thanks very much indeed. Ok lets go to another top story in the us and 6 months on from the killing of Briana Taylor protesters are coming out again 3 Police Officers from louisville kentucky will not be charged over her death thats a decision that sparking outrage. Protests began within hours of the decision in cities from new york to washington d. C. And los angeles the black medical worker was shot dead in march when police opened fire as they raided her apartment only one of 3 officers will face any action 3 counts of endangering taylors neighbors well beyond a taylors killing is just one incident in case after case of Us Police Violence against black people last month protests erupted in can no show wisconsin after jacob black was shot in the back 7 times that he survived but hes paralyzed Michelle Brooks was shot dead and Atlanta Georgia in june as he ran from police the officer who opened fire has been charged with murder in may george floyd died in minneapolis when an officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes the killing triggered protests worldwide 4 officers have been charged floyds last words i cant breathe what an echo of eric garner 6 years ago he died when a new york city policeman put him in a choke hold his death helped launch the black lives Matter Movement and made icon to breathe a rallying cry was jacksons an associate professor of history and africanamerican studies at Georgetown University he says the u. S. Judicial system has failed yet again. As the brother toad is going to look at this is going to get is they would have planned was founded. I dont know initiatives will i mean we were hopeful. Oh oh decent people i think hope for but i dont know placard say that you. Didnt act anyways then it did but not charged was just so simple i think from point out the want to charge the wanton disregard was charged against a Police Pursuit ing into an apartment above night and brianna kills apartment for shooting into a white Person Department it happens all the time so what happens now i think that every civil rights leader every labor leader every womans leader every every progressive leader has to get on some type cause and do 2 things call for a massive turnout in this particular election but here the other thing and i think this is where smith the president of state said yesterday that regardless of what happened in this election he would not accept it so in essence he is calling for balance hes calling for civil war this is just catastrophic in the news mean others not paying attention to it and say this on it on the eve of a verdict i would not accept what the American People say you see so so no nothing surprises me now when it comes to this decision i do expect. Good people to come out and peacefully protest but balance. I think that that by the attention to want to want to max takes away from the balance of killing this young single black woman want to marry in her apartment as she lay in bed nothing is more balanced than nothing is more fundamental than a right to live in your home in peace. Thailands parliament has decided to delay discussions on whether to amend the constitution protesters have been rallying for hours outside parliament in buying talk as politicians debated possible changes the latest in weeks of demonstrations calling for reform of the mana came and an end to military involvement in government the Prime Minister as a former military chief who led a coup 6 years ago when he has more from the capital bangkok. These protesters once again came out in big numbers on to the streets of the thai capital bangkok this time outside parliament to try to apply pressure on the members of parliament and also the 250 senators to vote for constitutional change something that these people have been calling for for months now and a large protest that they have been holding so what we have seen inside over the course of 2 days is approaching 6 different proposals from Political Parties were presented to those and senators for discussion those proposals looking at various changes to the constitution that process was supposed to culminate in a vote on those constitutional changes instead we have a vote but the vote was to postpone this entire process for at least another month while a committee can be formed to take a closer look at those constitutional changes all those proposed changes that vote to postpone was led and called for by a Senior Member of the ruling party so its certainly not going to go down well with the antigovernment protests and this is likely to lead to even more larger protests in the weeks to. Hong kong protests prodemocracy activists to joshua wang has been released from custody after his latest arrest hes been charged with Unlawful Assembly over the protests last year the European Union has called his detention troubling and said it undermines trust in china the 23 year old is vowing to continue to push back against beijings crackdown on dissent. Cases that i need to face already since. I left prison but no matter what happened i will still continue. To let the world you know get how. They can. Continue to fight for freedom. And journalists in hong kong are protesting against you police rules that restrict Media Coverage of demonstrations its in response to a Police Letter saying theyll recognize only those journalists who are registered with the government as well as those from quote internationally recognized and reputable outlets several professional bodies and Journalism Schools have denounced the new rules they say it should not be up to the police or the government to decide whos a legitimate reporter a south korean official who went missing from a fishing patrol boat on monday is said to have been shot dead and then burned by north korea thats according to the south Korean Military it says the man was possibly trying to defect when he was spotted by north korean troops Robert Bryant is following developments from seoul. This is been one of the most serious incidents to take place on this tense maritime border between north and south korea in a number of years and it unfolded over a couple of days at the start of this week south korea says that the official went missing from this patrol vessel on monday and that on tuesday they detected through different intelligence sources that he had drifted north of the border clinging to some sort of flotation device or raft had been intercepted by a north korean patrol vessel was being questioned and that soldiers later that same day then shot him multiple times and set fire to his body there has been a strong reaction from south korea of condemnation. Over a military strongly condemn such an atrocity and strongly demands north korea provide explanations and punish those who are responsible south koreas president ial office has called for an apology but part of the problem across the d. M. Z. At the moment is because relations have soured north korea has cut all of the hotlines between north and south the incident also seems to indicate the fear that exists in north korea of covert 19 because south korean officials report that the soldiers on board the north korean vessel were wearing gas masks and the fact that they burnt the body of this official seems to indicate they are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths not to allow the coronavirus to be brought d into north korea russian authorities have seized the assets of Opposition Leader alexey novelli as part of a lawsuit against him a spokeswoman says Bank Accounts have been frozen and as moscow apartment has been taken the ban has just been discharged from a berlin hospital where he was being treated for poisoning with a nerve agent is not a shock the kremlin denies involvement.

On nicholas x. Joining me live from dakar in neighboring senegal going by what good luck jonathan was saying there is a sense that something positive seems to be happening if he is hoping that sanctions could be lifted. Thats right rob in fact we saw the 1st public appearance of the new president of transition by standing in front of photographers accompanied by the Vice President the leader of the. Simian we saw and confident of being good humored winking at photographers confident for a man at the age of 70 is supposed to represent the aspirations of young millions who want to see the return of the state especially in the north in the center of the country now previous seat to that meeting of course good luck jonathan continued detailed negotiations on on this Transition Team before they can lift any sanctions that is they want to see a new Prime Minister it has to be civilian were hearing that perhaps hell be a member of the m 5 Opposition Movement that will take that position they also want to know who will be in charge of some of the key. Part of the of the government that will be formed shortly after the swearing in ceremony on friday now the military want to be in charge of key ministries they want to be in charge of the territorial administrations theyre in charge rob of organizing elections they want to be in charge of the ministry of mining mali is the 4th largest exporter of gold in africa equipment defense and security so those are the discussions that are being held with good luck jonathan and the leadership of the military giunta while these discussions are happening rob in the capital bamako there is no. Stop of violence or stoppage of violence in the north of the center of the country in late last night 4000000 soldiers were ambushed and killed in the region of c. Which is a place where weve seen active militia groups fighting armed groups such as the slum one with the mead and the. State in the greater sahara thats really key for the 1000000 people they want to see the return of the state in these air. Now that the United Nations has come out and asked for. This new leadership to quickly release all those that has been arrested following the military takeover and some of the people that are under arrest is the Prime Minister the former Prime Minister but we see say there is also a son the president. I see me going to the leader of the jews that said that some of these people will be tried they want to see jew course of justice in this is also something that many millions want they want to see the end of corruption and on this date they can really bring back their state in the north in the center reopen schools hospitals and of course they have the support of the 14000 u. N. Peacekeeping troops the french the 4000. 00 french troops that are on the ground president during the u. N. General assembly came out and said it will support the Transition Team as long as at the end of it there will be elected civilian government in place so thats the task ahead for this new leadership still of negotiations happening in order to lift those sanctions were expected to hear on friday from the chair of the west african body ecowas. Those sanctions being of course lifting the trade and the financial barriers between mali which is a landlocked country and these west african neighbors rob thanks very much indeed thats nicholas bringing us the latest on those negotiations and bamma cole. Was talking to us from dakar in neighboring senegal nic thank you very much mozambique is turning to the European Union for help to stop attacks by eisold linked groups in its Northern Region the president wants the e. U. To train its forces to bottle fighters who emerged 3 years ago in kabul gado province since then theyve stepped up attacks seizing important tons and targeting the military. In the face of terrorist attacks the government has responded firmly on the one hand with the support of local people through actions to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as through protection of people and their property on the other hand the government has mobilized humanitarian assistance for the internally displaced people and promoted Socio Economic Development Activities for the communities from nairobi malkan web explains the risk that the fighters poles to the region. The government of mozambique has asked for what is described as nationalized training and logistics for Counterterrorism Forces and also for medical assistance in the combat zone mozambiques armed forces have struggled in their fight against the armed groups last month the armed groups took control of the port town of muslim border prior and the Government Forces havent been able to take the town back since i still is claimed responsibility for some of the attacks that have happened in cabo delgado province although its not clear how much International Support the fighters there actually have but it is clear that among much of the local population most of whom are very poor there are deep grievances which have grown in recent years as theyve seen millions of dollars being invested into natural gas facilities along the coast preparing to extract gas reserves vast ones worth tens of billions of dollars discovered there about 10 years ago the territories that the armed groups now control inching closer and closer towards those gas facilities and this is a major concern for the government of mozambique and for the International Oil companies involved. Israel is imposing even stricter coronavirus lockdown measures after a surge in factions its been less than a week since a nationwide shutdown was imposed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that restrictions are necessary to keep the country from being pushed to what he calls the edge of the abyss are a force that has more from west to east of them. It was up until this decision and should see the lockdown that was announced last friday possible to private businesses that were public facing to remain operating pretty much as normal now they will be forced to close their also restrictions on travel and protests all synagogues to be closed with a potential limited reopening for the holiest day of the jewish calendar coming up on sunday into monday the day of young people still to be announced exactly what those restrictions will be but other than that people have to pray outside in groups no more than 20 at a maximum distance of a kilometer from their front door and the same thing with protests no more will we have these big protests and you know protests close to the Prime Ministers residence here in west jerusalem instead people will have to protest in numbers no more than 20 no more than a kilometer from their home and also there is a consideration about the potential to close down the main at International Level bengurion airport to departure is that something that will be discussed in the coming hours so im very very severe restriction more severe than what we saw back in march april and its something that took a long time very lengthy overnight meeting a special smaller cabinet that was constructed just to get this arranged the u. K. s finance secretary has unveiled a new measures to help workers and businesses suffering during the coronavirus pandemic precious an icon failed a 6 Month Program to subsidize the wages of workers who return to their jobs part time the plan also extends loans to Companies Hit by lock down restrictions. The government will directly support the wages of people in want giving businesses who faced depressed demand the option of keeping employee in a job on shorter allans rather than making them redundant so to support more than 150000 businesses and help protect 2400000 jobs through the winter im announcing today that we are canceling the planned increase and will keep the lower 5 percent v. A. T. Rate until march the 30 next year when a bank is joining us live from london this seems like quite an ambitious plan and ive seen estimates that it could cost about 5000000000. 00 pounds which is about 6400000000. 00 tell us more about what the scheme involves. That is likely to be here usually expensive but its going to be less expensive than whats been in force for the past few months the furlough scheme whereby the government has paid 80 percent of people salaries largely as an incentive for them to stay at home and help control the virus our species usually expensive but its been a lifeline to thousands of business is and to millions of workers but what were entering into now is a new phase and its something of an admission from the government that the virus is here to say for the foreseeable admission also that some business is simply not going to make it this new graft and package of d support are largely aimed at businesses that are saying look you know where hard hit now we expect to bounce back in a few months time thats particularly true of the hospitality sector many restaurants have been really hard hit like the many here in soho in Central London theyre hoping that theyll be an increase in footfall that months and several months time and they just need so whether they stiff a cold winter so what the governments saying is that theyll pay up to 2 thirds of peoples lost salaries but. That people continue working for us all of their income so clearly thats less than the amount they were forking out for the scheme but its still seen as an important financial lifeline for them also very quickly v 80 value added tax will remain lower 5 Percent People have more time to pay back. Loans and the hope is that many many people will benefit exactly how many of those is unclear at this stage as part of the governments plan to to deal with the coronavirus ongoing theyre introducing this new track and trace and now there have been criticisms that its taken far too long to develop and it may not even work when 70 has been working in the past is a lot riding on this for the government isnt there. A huge amount riding on it the government for the states is reputation on how useful this track and trace app is actually going to be when it was a man announced several months ago its months late we dont know exactly the full scale of reasons for why it is late but we know that now that it has been launched thousands of people have tried to use it apparently both android and i phone users are struggling to have an i phone thats least dates from 2. 20 any older than that you might struggle and if you go in and void phone is going to be more recent than that weve also been hearing of people on android phones trying to download it and being taken to a trial version of the app instead and thats led to a slew of people rating the app with only one and a half stars so it doesnt look good for the government of course you know expect teething problems the start of a big technological endeavor like this we really have yet to see exactly what kind of output how this is all going to help you know bring down the numbers this app of course was regarded several months ago as big central in bringing down the spread of the. Covert inspection it seems to be less in the center of the frame at the moment so the government is refocusing our attention on how individuals can through a big following the rules and sleep personal discipline help make sure that covert levels do not continue to spiral in the wrong direction and they thanks very much thats an evolved ally for us in london chinese drugmaker cinema back is starting a trial of its corona virus vaccine on children next monday large scale tests on adults are already underway in indonesia and brazil continue you has more from the companys facility in the outskirts of beijing.

Senate republican leader Mitch Mcconnell says there will be an orderly transfer of power after the november election that after President Donald Trump refused to say whether hed accept the results of the last. Thailands parliament has pushed back a debate on amending the constitution after growing protests the student led demonstrations are calling for reform of the monarchy and an end to military involvement in government. The west African Regional bloc it was a says it will lift sanctions on mali if a new government is sworn in later this week as negotiators are in bamako for talks with coup leaders who forced president even him to resign. The un secretary general says the world has failed to fight the coronavirus and that the pandemic is not out of control until you goes out as has been speaking during the 3rd day of the Un General Assembly is being held mostly online for the 1st time because of the pandemic the pandemic is simply a test of International Cooperation and tests we have essentially fake its nearly 1000000. 00 people around the world infected over 60000000 and remains largely artificial these was the result of a lack of global prefer the school for nation unity and solidarity. When a meeting on Climate Change is taking place at the un as World Leaders at the General Assembly try to get Global Negotiations back on track as nick log has more. Across the world. Take this right here is a Climate Emergency unfolding before our very eyes where there was once a thick layer of sea ice is now fragmented broken up sea ice is already lost 2 thirds of its volume over the past 4 decades and this years summer extent is the 2nd lowest ever measured their rapid loss of sea ice in the arctic its a sobering indicator of how close they are planets circling the drain. As the arctic ice melts more heat will be trapped by the ocean and all of us will be more exposed by the devastating impact of the Climate Crisis. Than this year those impacts have been brutal from record wildfires in the western United States. And in australia to seemingly endless storms and hurricanes queuing up in the atlantic making landfall with colossal and catastrophic effect. About now and weve only got about one degree of warming at the moment and already were seeing more extreme weather were seeing millions of people displaced from their homes there were seeing devastation both in poor countries and increasingly in rich countries despite Donald Trumps dismissal of reality it will start getting cooler. You just watch in contrast this week an unexpected boost from the worlds biggest source of Greenhouse Gases thats china who pledged Carbon Neutrality by 2060 taking advantage of us reluctance to address the climate question. Just how you think she sure covered 19 reminds us that humankind should launch a green revolution and move faster to create a green way of development to preserve the environment and make mother earth a better place for all. Back in 2015 Christiana Figueres is one of the chief architects of the celebrated Paris Agreement while welcoming chinas move she said the country like the rest of the world was at a major fork in the road because of the size of the economy china still consumes more coal than the rest of the world combined so you have these 2 internal realities in china that are basically one representing the future world that they want to move toward and the other representing the old world that they are moving beyond and we have to understand that this is a process. At a time when the opportunity for changes fast melting away there is no doubt World Leaders need to front up and show the kind of commitment they got to Paris Agreements over the line macleod aljazeera.

Since the beginning of the pandemic the kingdom of bahrain cooperated coordinated and stood in solidarity with all countries and specialized agencies. Such as the World Health Organization in the face of such difficult circumstances.

Thank you mr president and may the peace mercy and blessings of god be upon you. Maybe in watching king hamad to be. Making a pivot chord statement to the United Nations General Assembly bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalization agreements with israel on september the 15th that the white house he owned so mentioned the importance of security and stability in the region referring to the efforts of saudi arabia in that in that effort excuse me as well as those of egypt he was also supportive of the United Arab Emirates signing of that deal with israel i want to bring in our diplomatic editor james bays whos at the u. N. Headquarters in new york there was a great deal there james about other countries but not very much about by a buck rein other than to say that it fully supported saudi arabia and its positions on a wide variety of things. Yes thats the standard position of bahrain and its Foreign Policy i think the most interesting thing was about the peace deals between bahrain and the us a speech it which he said what bahrain was doing was sending a civilized message a hand extended and he said it was a successful and commendable step now many of you know asking you a there is an arms deal built into the treaty between israel and the us a with the u. S. On the side going to provide jets to us down the law and whats in it for bahrain well he did say that the peace deal with israel was in exchange for stopping an exception being quite clear the one thing the powerade didnt want to happen and they say that was one of the reasons for the deal i do think its interesting though in addition to praising the deal and praising the trumpet ministration in its efforts in the middle east he then made a pretty conventional vision of the way he sees things Going Forward with regard to the israelis and the palestinians but to stay. Solution with an independent palestine the palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem despite condemning the truck. Appraisingly truck administrations efforts certainly the truck plan the giant cushion a plan does not really suggest that would be a fully independent palestinian state and certainly doesnt suggest it will have East Jerusalem as its capital so it does seem to be a little bit of a contradiction. And it does its interesting even one of these new states start a peace deal with the israelis hasnt changed its fundamental position about what it wants for the palestinians as you say the north to saudi arabia its always there in a speech by. But it is interesting in this context because of course saudi arabia has not done a peace deal with israel but he referred to saudi arabia as a big brother suggesting that the saudis certainly must have given the north for that take place. So that happening its worth reminding us you need to go back now almost 10 years to the big uprising in bahrain when there was uprisings all over the arab world the socalled arab spring and heres more the key looked to some considerable trouble and at the time was looking across the court of course way to their neighbor saudi arabia for help james thank you very much indeed i want to quickly go to William Lawrence whos a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at American University hes joining us and skype from washington d. C. Briefly because unfortunately my fave time is against us as james was saying there are fairly predictable speech by a king there is certainly reestablishing its position with regard to saudi arabia but of course making some reference to that signing of that deal with israel. You know i was struck by. James baby. Killer the contrast between his vision for middle east peace and not only the journey question with. Abbas to riyadh to talk about their vision which much of. Sinai center etc. That struck me how strongly worded his support for saudi arabia and egypt were also just the 2 countries that bailed out. Uprising were saudi arabia and you. Were going to have to leave it there and i apologize but thank you very much indeed were going to be back in a couple of minutes with more thank you very much.
