And mounts a Record Number of new coronavirus cases the un secretary general says the Global Pandemic response lacks corporation and unity and theyve survived for nearly 3000 years but now unprecedented rain is threatening some of sudans most iconic structures. We begin in the u. S. And the raging controversy over Donald Trumps refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the november election while the democrats have her out of the president s Senior Republicans have been distancing themselves from trumps remarks and promised an orderly transition of power but trump is doubling down and is once again questioning the fairness of postal voting our White House Correspondent kimberly hocket reports. The peaceful transfer of power between president s is a time honored. Addition dating back to americas founding but its one donald trump refuses to endorse should he lose the november election we have to see what happens. On thursday citing fears of widespread ballot fraud and vote rigging the u. S. President again casts doubt on whether hell accept the results of the november poll we want to make sure the election is honest but im not sure that it can be i dont i dont know that it can be with this whole situation unsolicited ballots. His press secretary says trump will accept the results but with conditions the president will exact accept the results of a free and fair election. How exactly the white house defines free and fair or is not clear casting grave uncertainty over the integrity of the vote trump is particularly concerned with mail in balloting which states are offering so voters dont have to travel to the polls during the coronavirus pandemic Top Republican and democrat leaders in congress on thursday tried to reassure voters on twitter Mitch Mcconnell the republican leader in the senate wrote there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every 4 years since 792 democrat House Speaker nancy pelosi went further criticizing trumps failure to commit to a peaceful transition you are not in saudi arabia you are in the United States of america it is a democracy. So why dont you just. Try for a moment to honor your oath of office but the white house is pushing back on criticism of the president s controversial remarks arguing trumps 2016 president ial rival Hillary Clinton last month made similar comments joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think this is going to drag out and eventually i do believe he will win if we dont give in and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is the controversy has added uncertainty and underscored fears that it could be weeks before the results of the november 3rd president ial election are no kimberly helped get aljazeera the white house and the president is speaking right now in Jacksonville Florida at a Campaign Rally to his supporters there thousands have come to see him in jacksonville today as he can to news his campaigning ahead of the november election lets bring in heidi is your castle in Silver Spring maryland not for us so it was spring near washington d. C. You know even after reassurance from the White House Press secretary area the president doubling down not committed to a peaceful transfer of power. Thats right you know it ignited a firestorm president comments from yesterday when he 1st said that he refused to commit to the peaceful transfer of power rather than trying to defuse the situation hes simply fanning the flames more in the comments as you just heard him state outside of the white house today that he believes mail in ballots are a scam and that he doubts the elections would be honest he went on to cite unconfirmed news reports of a dozen or so ballots that he said were found tossed by a river in certain states now the irony here is twofold because as he is in florida now in a state speaking to his supporters he tweeted to the voters of florida earlier on this day telling them to cast their mail in ballots those very ballots that he later went on to try to discredit the discrepancy there is hes often lauded republican which is a rather florida which is a republican controlled state as a good example to follow another irony is that his f. B. I. Director was on capitol hill today testifying telling members of congress that he has not seen any historical evidence of massive voter fraud in elections in the United States and nor does he see any evidence of that taking place now so what happens then if there is a dispute after november 3rd who steps in to ensure that there is indeed a peaceful transfer of. Well sure thats about simply a cliff that has not been gone over in American History as my colleague Kimberly Halkett was reporting since the founding of this nation every president has accepted a peaceful transfer of power but were that to be disputed this time around then very likely there would be legal challenges and ultimately it may be the u. S. Of. In court that decides who will be president come january and here is another irony here for us we have Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who passed away last friday she was a champion of the laughed president was at the Supreme Court today paying his respects to her laying in repose and he was greeted by blues because Justice Ginsburgs dying wish as Dick Dick Dick dictated to her daughter was that the whatever voters choose as their next president replace her choose the nominee to replace her president will have none of that in fact he has said that this saturday is when he will announce her replacement and that he wants this person confirmed to the Supreme Court before the election Bigger Picture here is if this becomes a contested results for this election and maybe the president s own nominees who has just been voted into the court that decides whether or not he gets a 2nd term thank you for that heidi for sands of the spring of a u. S. City of new evil is bracing for a 2nd night of protests over the decision not to charge Police Officers for the death of briana taina one man has been charged for shooting 2 Police Officers during demonstrations that erupted on wednesday night protesters defied an overnight curfew after a grand jury decided to charge only one of the 3 officers involved with a drug raid that made to take his death in march is indicted for endangering taylors neighbors more than 120 protesters where rest said and the antiracism ronnies have spread to several other u. S. Cities where the mayor of louisville has called for calm as a city remains under a curfew for a 2nd night what we saw last night with the 2 Police Officers being shot is obviously completely unacceptable. Violence will only be a source of pain not a cure for pain and we know that violence is never the answer our community is hurting many see brianna taylors case as both the tragic death of a young woman and the continuation of a long pattern of devaluation in violence that black women and men face in our country as they have historically the question obviously is what do we do with this pain there is no one answer no easy answer to that question but i do know this violence is not the answer and destruction is not the answer. Just there is john hendren has the latest now from or evil. That is the jail conveniently close to the Center Square where most people are protesting and where most of the 127. 00 people who were arrested overnight wednesday were found and that was because they were violating the curfew so out of that door you see people come out one at a time and if we happen to see one youll hear the crowd cheering each individual as they come out so most of the people in there were arrested for violating curfew some of them were arrested for violating orders to disperse in the middle of the day but really it was a mostly peaceful night with one major county out police have charged one man with firing at Police Officers striking him injuring 2 who are recovering today one of them is out of hospital the other remains there a bit other than that we havent seen the kind of massive violent response burning that we saw in minneapolis minnesota after the death of george full way to or in konoha wisconsin after the shooting in paralyzing of jacob lake so police have come here in force youve got National Guard state police and youve also got the local Louisville Police all manning the streets and being very aggressive in. Holding that curfew they they issue orders to disperse of people dont disperse they go ahead and arrest them on mass and thats what happened after the curfew last night they gave people about an hour to protest and then they came in with horses and officers and arrested them. In other world news french hospitals are struggling to cope with Record Numbers of covered 1000 cases the government has warned it is in a race against time to stop a repeat of the crisis in march and has had record tolls of new infections in 4 of the last 8 days and sections are said to be introduced in parts of spain Health Authorities in madrid are asking residents to brace for tough weeks ahead as the capital continues to be a hot spot meanwhile the u. K. Government has unveiled a package of Financial Measures to protect stobbs this comes as nearest directions including a curfew on bars and restaurants come into force but with corona virus infections doubling every week some fear the governments plans dont go far enough reports from london. A shake up for englands knocked out of a colony. A new 10 pm curfew is put the squeeze on this cocktail of. Hours of the careful mix of measures the government says will stem the runaway infection rate and then moves on welcome news for a sector struggling to recover and for these revelers the partys over early the time pm curfew is limiting our trading affectively means that we can only really try to 25 percent capacity of what we were doing pretty covert and yet you know all of our costs are pretty much the same. Thousands of businesses have been dependent on government grants to pay workers wages but schemes coming to an end but with infections doubling every week the governments been forced to fall into the alternative to avert must job cuts its almost to provide tax breaks extend loans and top up workers wages up to 2 thirds of their hours for 6 months the government will directly support the wages of people in walk giving businesses who faced depressed among the option of keeping employees in a job on shorter hours rather than making them redundant. While the government shores up the economy it also wants to tackle the virus by limiting social interaction weeks after people were told to eat out to help out something they did in great numbers there are no bigger fines for not wearing a mosque limited numbers that can attend weddings and funerals and people are being told to continue working from home if possible theres also a new Contact Tracing up launch months behind sched jewel. Its all a step in the right direction say the scientists but some fear its not enough falls and restaurants may have a new curfew for the virus doesnt the earlier you cut it off you can avoid a lot more cases and hospitalizations and deaths and we sort of missed that window in march we can see now from what happened with the curve that if we had acts you know acted about a week earlier we could have you know avoided a lot of unnecessary cases and deaths of the feeling that were hesitating until its way too late is a bit of deja vu and i and i hope we can you know do the right thing this time. With dark evenings drawing in britains bracing for an uncertain winter for many this feels like a lol before another full a lockdown if infection spiral Boris Johnsons promised tighter measures many businesses warn of devastating consequences others are asking why wait needs barca london.

S. And china were involved in angry exchanges at a session of the Security Council over who is responsible mike hanna reports some iraq normally unflappable secretary general could not disguise his anger at the lack of International Unity in response to the pandemic the pandemic is a clear test of International Cooperation at best we have essentially faith is yes q nearly went 1000000 people around all infected over certain indian and remains largely artificial these was the result of a lack of global preparedness corporation unity and solidarity the tone of conflict was said earlier this week in a record address by President Trump to the General Assembly in which he lashed out at china we have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy that china virus we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world president xi jinping sprit recorded speech was restrained at the time making no direct reference to President Trump but he rejected what he called the politicization of the response to the coronavirus but no restraint from the Chinese Ambassador in the Security Council session if someone should be held accountable if you should be a few u. S. Politicians themselves the u. S. Should understand that believe me our viewers will not solve its own problems while not directly naming President Trump a number of other representatives made clear their rejection of his attack on china and the Us Ambassador exploded in anger or shame on each of you. I am astonished and im disgusted by the content of todays discussion im actually really quite ashamed at this Council Members of the council who took this opportunity to focus on Political Correctness rather than the critical issue at hand among those who attended the sacramone us meeting with several president s and Foreign Ministers in addition to the ambassadors the secretary generals call for unity was ignored if not forgotten and made clear in this virtual session that differences of the past have been gouged further open during the months of this pandemic mike hanna aljazeera United Nations aljazeera has learned that a date has been set for libyan peace talks the United Nations helps to name a new envoy in the coming days and the current ban is to bring the countrys warring sides to geneva negotiations on october 15th diplomatic as a jane space reports from the United Nations libyas Prime Minister gave his address to the u. N. At a time when a flurry of diplomacy is once again on the way to pull his country out of conflict International Efforts to bring peace to libya would derailed last year when general foley for huffed are launched an attack on tripoli it failed and Prime Minister seraph says countries supporting her after among them the us egypt and russia no need to adopt a new approach and we had some of the few more people we call on the states to revisit their positions and to no longer bet on the aggressor and to discuss with the government of National Accord the means to address their concerns we must work to establish relationships based on Mutual Respect and common interests and the non interference in internal affairs the humanitarian situation in libya is now the worst its been in the last decade of conflict according to the president of the International Committee of the red cross who made a recent visit. Walking through some of the outskirts of tripoli but. I have been surprised by the level of destruction which in which the cities find themselves it has reminded me of some of the worse urban cities have been seeing over the last couple of years and in mosul in homs in. All the un hopes to name a new envoy for libya in the coming days the plan is for a meeting of International Players at the beginning of next month and then by the 15th of october they want to bring the libyan soil its to geneva its all very ambitious with a plan for elections next year but in the possed high hopes on libya have been done by the only going violence and meddling from outside the country james plays out 0 at the United Nations. Former french president Nicolas Sarkozy has lost a legal challenge iraqis ations he used libyan money to fund his 2007 Election Campaign cycle as a denies claims he took millions of dollars from then leader Moammar Gadhafi has been charging 2 other cases. In october for influence peddling the west African Regional bloc says it will lift sanctions on mali if a new government is sworn in later this week as the goes here jews are in bamako for talks with coup leaders echo us members stop Financial Transactions into money and cozy borders after last months military takeover which are said president lee brain Boubacar Kate up they can ask more from neighboring setting out. Right now Goodluck Jonathan is in the capital bamako to try to find. A nomination for a new Prime Minister they clearly want to see a civilian they want to see a man that they support to be in charge of that role as the head of government were hearing that perhaps it would be someone from the m 5 Opposition Movement that could take that position now interestingly 3 we also know that Goodluck Jonathan will be part of the swearing in ceremony on friday which which implies that there will be some sort of lifting of sanctions an announcement made by the chair of the echo of the going in president. After the swearing in ceremony remember those sanctions are really crippling mali which is a landlocked country and is really dependent on the trade between the west african countries to really for her for its economy during the u. N. General assembly we also heard from the french president emanuel in a coma theres 4000 french troops that are insuring. That are backing the state here well he says that the troops will stay during the transition period as long as there is a transition to civilian rule what we havent heard from are the armed groups themselves. After all african countries fenty is on the process to nominate lake chad as a World Heritage site but now one of them wants to drill for oil the lake straddles the border between chad and cameroon but the basin covers need share and nigeria to all 400. 00 a submit the nomination 2 years ago on 9 and letter to unesco leaked to the Guardian Newspaper in britain chad says it wants to redefine the boundaries of the potential World Heritage site because its signed oil drilling agreements human action has already caused an ache to shrink by around 90 percent over the past 50 years. Because of Climate Change and the use of water for irrigation and its future is uncertain around 45000000 people are dependent on it using its water in often unsustainable ways while janani vivian kanada looks at Climate Change and Security Issues for the think tank adelphi she says the move taken by chad is very regrettable. Its nothing short of a travesty and not just for environmental reasons but also for very few men reasons. The lake is an exceptional natural phenomena and it slowly deserves unesco recognition as something of an ecological miracle its a freshwater lake in the middle of the area to her desert and imagine there that it had it it was shrinking as it was shrinking for. Decades in the seventys and eightys but its actually been in a period of expansion for the past 20 years so its it is this very resilient Natural Resource that communities around it have been depending on and surviving on millennia theres really nothing like it in the world and yet at the same time its also the location of one of the last worst humanitarian crises since 2009 the regions also been destabilized by alarming violence between armed opposition groups or just because iran and Islamic State with africa problems and state Security Forces and so combined with the added challenge of Climate Change which isnt actually shrinking the lake but rather causing the water levels in the rainfall levels to fluctuate so. So severely that is its very difficult for People Living around the lake to pursue their lives and their lives that which will take dependent.
