A right that sum up this part of the ongoing prisoner swap the could revive peace talks in the evidence for 5 years. We begin with that unrest outside a courthouse in santa col south africa over the killing of a white farm worker theres a public standoff between thousands of supporters of the south African Opposition Party the Economic Freedom fighters and white farmers in this the free state of sarkar 2 black men a tear in court accused of killing the 22 year old white farm worker lets go live to our and fabulous miller who is in senegal in south africa there are concerns. About over racial tensions is that the real threat here. The. Certainly is very tense for you. And much of the tension revolves around race your insane account 3 weeks ago friends and warner a firm manager a white man was killed by since last may be assurance of africa around farm killings is one that has gone on for years and appears to be escalating and i just want to explain to you what is happening around us here around these events behind us eric me of white farmers who were trying to leave face saving way here to support the family of friends and one up and also to protest against killings as you mentioned supporters of the Economic Freedom fighters are also here thousands of them have come in theyve been bussed in from as far as travel and trying to scrub and the situation in the last few minutes has been very tense some of the Economic Freedom fighters are sitting on the ground now preventing farmers from leaving. Them of racism but they also say theyre here to protect state institutions d like the court the white foam workers they stole back corp last week when the suspects in this murder appeared on those murder charges. What do we expect the standoff to continue 4 hours succumb yeah im scared to say what do we expect to happen in court to these 2. 2 suspects are appearing and we had the minister of police spectacle in semicolon recent days talking to people here and it was from the minister that we learned that one of those suspects had already been arrested 16 times hes believed to be a alive start. The 2nd suspect who was previously interested. And we do know that at some point they will apply for bail its not likely that they would get bail given the chance situation in this town. And it is probable that south things are in recent days amanda who participated in the storming of the Court Last Week but a white farmer with the risk that he appeared in court today was denied he is appealing that so the Court Proceedings really are a pivotal part of whats happening outside and im hoping to transpire because we also time and people here say theyre either defending farmers and farm workers all their friends and farmers who they say a racist and treat farm workers who are living and they say theyre here to defend democracy. I was there as reporting live there from southern. South africa. American voters were asked to tune into dueling televised events on thursday with President Donald Trump the democratic candidate joe biden both vying for their attention the 2 had originally planned to face off on a shared debate stage but after trumps covert 19 diagnosis and subsequent refusal to participate in a Virtual Event would be debate split into separate events featuring the candidates solo and airing at the same time 00 castro reports. The pandemic raging in a divided America President trump was on the defensive in florida conditions are never going to die are you listening i didnt eastlake supremacy that what you next play she appearing to have recovered from his 3 day hospitalization for kobe 19 but trailing in National Polls the president also refused to denounce q one on a baseless Conspiracy Movement which has grown exponentially during americas outbreak i know nothing about it i just tried to go very lightly you told me but what you tell me doesnt necessarily make it checked i have to say that i know nothing about it i do know they are very much against it. Yes they find it very hard but you know nothing of the day to leave the president s event aired at the same time as a town hall event with democratic challenger joe biden in philadelphia which mirrored his steady low key Campaign Presence in my view with all due respect to spend divide and conquer the way he does better if he splits us no theres divisions. And i think people need hope both candidates took questions and comments from voters some laudatory. Story and some mighty smart. Others were tougher whats your view on the crime bill that you wrote in 1994 which showed prejudiced against minorities it was a mistake biden whos campaigns been hit by 3 recently disclosed corona virus infections lashed out against trumps handling of the pandemic more than 217000 americans have died in the words of a president matter absolutely no matter whether theyre good bad or indifferent they matter and want to president doesnt wear a mask or make fun of folks like me when i was wearing a mask for a long time then you know people say well it must be that important by the moderator our masks trump defended himself by falsely characterizing the study but just the other day they came out with a statement that 85 percent of the people that wear masks jack shit you know this is a guy who is a as i said thats what i heard and thats what i said i think the disservice may have already been done for the past 3 to 4 years maybe one way and you know misinformation and this information all these things so i think became our new reality and i think. Its not shocking anymore thats the maybe the sad thing about. The final president ial debate is scheduled for october 22nd and so far both sides have agreed to attend but with the feared 2nd wave of covert approaching and the virus penetrate. Both campaigns nothing can be counted on an Election Year like no other. Castro al jazeera philadelphia and one point the moderates in miami criticized the president for boosting conspiracy theories about his rival just this week he reached leave it to your 87000000 followers a Conspiracy Theory that joe biden work history to seal team 6 the Navy Seal Team 6 killed to cover up the face the face death of bin ladin now why would you send a live shot not take it all over even each week that was a read tweet that was an opinion of somebody picked and that was a retreat ill put it out there people can decide for themselves how to take a position like someones crazy uncle movie has a real point whatever that was a read tweet and i do a lot of reach which and frankly because the media is still shape and still corrupt if i didnt have social media to call a twitter a close associate media i wouldnt be able to get the word out and the one of the worst phone or more americans voting earlier than ever before election day could now become the 1st in u. S. History where most ballots were cost before hand long lines for downside Voting Centers in North Carolina on thursday the 1st to have early voting across the country 50000000 people have already votes whos a kurdistan politician freed from prison by protesters just days ago has been appointed interim president saudia jump off was made Prime Minister on weapons day but has now assumed the presidency after the resignation of sauron by jeenbekov parliament has ended a state of emergency in the capital bishkek it had been declared 2 and days of unrest triggered by a disputed election some new vote will now be held within 90 days old as it was Charles Stratford is in bishkek where people who are against jumping off of making their voices heard. They say that say he supporters were very intimidating we saw them during those protests rushing Peaceful Demonstrations using stones and sticks with a factor of the matter is mr powell has a lot of support in this country we were in the rural heartland of his support base yesterday in the north of the country speaking to some of his supporters actually in the very village where he was born people telling us they describe him as being a bit of a hero they say that he was unjustly jailed that 11 year jail term that he was serving for kidnapping before he was freed by protesters during the protests they describe him as being in their words one of us they said that they were very happy with the kind of comments that hes made for example about nationalizing the largest gold mine in this country a gold mine that at the moment is fully owned by canada or a Canadian Company they said that he was very supportive of their land rights and in protecting the civil rights in the country. But there are even reservations among those supporters one man actually said that he had met your power of a few years ago he described him as being a good man but said that he personally warned him to do well for them but not to shame them so you know there are a lot of questions about about this new Prime Minister and acting.
