Face to face in bangkok antigovernment protestors and thai police got into a violent confrontation 3 months in the making. The mostly Peaceful Demonstrations started in july but for the 2nd day thousands ignored the risk of arrest under emergency decree issued the day before. As promised in an announcement just after the violence began taia 30 began using everything at their disposal to stop the protests including water cannon with burning agent laced with water the protesters are demanding a new constitution reform of the monarchy and the resignation of the cabinet including Prime Minister prayer. Something he dismissed on friday as he explained the reasons for the emergency order. As you are all aware of the situation the government must use the emergency decree we have to proceed because the situation has become violent with some things that had never happened before. The protests started like the other 2 peaceful protests earlier in the week its location was changed at the last minute to confuse the Security Forces they continued their call for the release of the top protest organizers who were arrested on thursday morning. But about an hour into it the police made their move after several barricades were taken down and police advance on the protesters many tried to blend into the surrounding neighborhood. Even though the leadership has officially called off the protest for the night riot police are clearing out the area of the original site for that protest earlier in the evening the big question now for the leadership is how do they move forward with the protests scott had there ill just bangkok.

Leaders say theyre willing to continue negotiating but they will not say what they will not seek a deal at any costs paul brown reports from london. This was supposed to be the summit which signed off on a trade deal instead it has provoked some of the bleakest assessments yet of the prospects for agreement. Should be assured the state of our talks is not that we are stumbling over the issue of fishing which is the tactical argument made by the british but we are stumbling over everything and everything c e u leaders had proposed 2 more weeks of last ditch talks but warned that the u. K. Had to make the necessary moves to make an agreement possible that went down very badly in london and given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal ive concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with a range wounds that are more like australias an australian style deal really means no deal at all crucially johnson stopped short of calling off the talks and closing the door altogether but in an off camera briefing to journalists his official spokesman was more stark as far as were concerned he said the trade talks are over the hardball rhetoric from downing street is setting alarm bells ringing here in londons financial district the Square Mile Financial Services represent 167000000000 dollars to the u.

There is tension in getting ahead of sundays president ial election Will Champion south africa withdraw from the Rugby Championship but it will tell you why in the sport. U. S. President of trump and democratic nominee joe biden held dueling town hall events late on thursday after plans for a 2nd debate was scrapped the separate events were at the same time forcing americans to flip back and forth between channels to hear the candidates address questions from the public how did joe castro has more. With the pandemic raging in a divided America President trump was on the defensive in florida you know i never did im sure if i didnt supremacy that what your next question 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. I just tried your 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 pedophilia. They cited very harsh but they 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 you know theres division. And i think people need hope both candidates took questions and comments from voters some laudatory. Story and so many. 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 Press by the moderator im asked 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 we have massed catches you know this is a guy who is a as i said thats what i heard and thats what i saw 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 that 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 penetrating both can. Pains nothing can be counted on an Election Year like no other. Castro aljazeera philadelphia. White house correspondent kimberly how he joins us now from washington d. C. So kimberly what does that say who won the battle for view as since they both had the town halls at the same time on t. V. Yeah just like Election Night viewers have a choice who they prefer to watch and the numbers really speak for themselves and biden won by almost a 1000000 viewers 13. 9 to 13000000 watching President Trump and the contrast between the 2 was stark donald trump seemed to be most at ease when he was combative with the moderator joe biden having a more measured approach but Trump Supporters tend to say that they this just underscores what theyve always believed that this was sort of an event due it was a geared against the president what they believe is that the softballs as they call them that were lobbed against joe biden were nothing compared to the combative tone of the host that donald trump had to encounter so there are very few people that felt that their minds were made up as a result of these 2 events in fact what it seems to show is what we already knew and that is that america is divided there are very few undecided voters and when it comes to the National Polls and who might win this election so far the edge goes to joe biden now having said that im moving forward we have to look ahead to the campaigning this taking place weve got to donald trump he is down in florida where he has 2 events including another one of his make America Great again rallies where he is once again fighting for every vote on what will be a pivotal 2 state for the president that is the u. S. State of florida many say you cannot win this white house without that battleground state for his part joe biden is going to be in michigan another big battleground that looks like it is leaning for joe biden at the moment but again a very important state for donald trump so what were seeing are these 2 candidates fighting it out to the very finish but with very different styles and there was certainly that was displayed for every american to see in those town. Halls with very different tones depending on which candidate you are watching and as steve mentioned we are seeing dont come right now hes campaigning in florida how do the strategies of biden and trump compacts a day always seem to do a divergence in how theyre going at this right now well donald trump continues to have his combative style but at the same time his his supporters have always kind of embraced this hes not winning over any new voters it appears now it is important to note in this data that were looking at well you look at the nielsen ratings and its clear that joe biden won what is interesting when you look at some of the data about Smart Television viewership and there are again biden edges out but only by about 600000 viewers but whats interesting is that 29 percent or rather non white voters were watching donald trump whereas 32 percent were watching joe biden and what that tells us is that donald trump is making some inroads when it comes to voters of color this is something that he has been working very hard on and that many people would suggest his policies dont support so this does offer donald trump some hope but at the same time the polls are not in his favor and we should very quickly say what weve also seen when it comes to early voting is that there is a surge like weve never seen before we have now almost 21000000 americans who have cast their ballots and that is something that is unprecedented in part because of concerns about early voting and the fact that mail in ballots may not make it in time and also the pandemic people just dont want to stand in line so theyre voting ahead in order to protect themselves from catching the virus all right thanks so much kimberly how. Americans are turning up in huge numbers to vote early ahead of the election as kimberly was mentioning then its only 3 weeks away or less than 3 weeks to the vote several states have already received more early ballots than they didnt 2016 some attribute the early turnout to the pandemic with a need to avoid large crowds on election day so far more democrats are casting their ballots this time compared to the last election 4 years ago and if we look at the republican side voting is down compared to this time in 2016 overall nearly 10 times as many people have sent in early or absentee ballots compared to the last president ial election so far as more than 17000000 jason hosur is the director of the Iran University poll and an assistant professor of Political Science he joins us by skype from North Carolina good to have you with us so why are we seeing such a big early turnout this time or early vote this time is it all down to 19. 19 is really the only major explanation why we see a spike in early voting at this level this does seem to be a work in its going to have higher turnout level the overall solution or surely increase in early voting but not a double in your triple in your early numbers like what were seeing in many states North Carolina a critical swing state is seeing why im so wrong many people are walking away saying ill come back later what about the divisiveness of this election is that also motivating more people to come out and vote because people feel like theres something much more important at stake in this election compared to others. For many of americans this election feels like it could be the end of the war or it could be the end of the world of the candidate to oppose happens to win this is true for both democrats and republicans and most americans look back at 2016 and said well this looked like an election that one side was going to win that case clinton side ended up being a win for the other side so people realize this is a close election which means that you like their vote matters any selection where the results will be tremendous in terms of policy outcomes both within the United States and all the world and march absolutely why one interesting thing in the dot which i was reading out why are we seeing more democrats vote at this stage than republicans is it that republicans are not as motivated as democrats all but some republicans at least are viewing mail in ballots in the same way as telling me to wear a mask. Historically democrats have been early voting more often in pretty much every election cycle but we do see a higher proportion of democrats voting early right now my theory is that thats because democrats are taking included more seriously than republicans on average when we conducted polls here to be on university about worries about 90 democrats are far more likely to express concern about it and by early voting im so sorry bill to limit their exposure to the virus aided by voting by mail or going to early voting locations so i dont think its necessarily because republicans are not enthusiastic i think its because democrats have more concerned about the night he now has a perhaps a key concern or question will the increase in maine votes and the votes more conflict later over the results. We have a potentially very dangerous situation with a delay and result in the elections are too close to call by major Media Outlets like press we could have to wait several days for all of the early votes to be counted in a state like North Carolina is only the piece of mail is postmarked by the Postal Service by november 3rd it could be counted as is late is november 6th so many early both sort of many requests absentee ballots have not been returned and the state board of elections says were not going to call this election till theyre all then you have an opportunity for donald trump to question the legitimacy of the election to say well maybe he was a head slightly on Election Night and then it turns out he loses because we know why hes mail in ballots or from democrats its a situation which really the fundamental legitimacy of american democracy could be called into question i hope that doesnt happen but i am very concerned that we will not have a winner on Election Night and politicians across the us will grow people into turmoil but what about also the concern that dont trump has on. Weve made statements which are quite you know visible on the record about his issue with mail in vote and the concern that that can trigger our our constitutional process that ends with the president claiming a victory in spite of the results indicated by the mail in voting we had seen so all with mail in voting in the United States in North Carolina where i live we saw that irrational election in which simply a person was going around collecting the mail in ballots and not turning them in if they thought they were going the opposite side however in that case that was done by republican operative not a democratic operative. If we have a situation like that we could see an election the way by the u. S. Course were in a long period of time ultimately likely something the u. S. Supreme court is weighing in. Thanks so much for your analysis and thoughts on that lets hope some of those scary scenarios dont materialize jason. Mexicos former defense minister has been arrested in the United States on suspicion of links to Drug Trafficking salvador c. And the army for 6 years and the president and the Ricky Pena Nieto president confirmed c. N. N. For a boss was being held in los angeles. Home and joins us now live from mexico city and john i understand some Court Documents now revealing more details about the charges against him what do they say. Its pretty powerful stuff actually the indictment against him alleges that he conspired to manufacture and distribute cocaine heroin methamphetamine and to actually get that into the u. S. It also says that he was known as. The no sorry which means the godfather theres also a cover letter from the department of justice with the indictment and that alleges that he did all this to help with the cartel which is called the 82 cartel and the students of mexican cartels recognize that is what seems to be a remnant of the Beltran Leyva organization and he helped them to ensure these Court Documents allege that no military operations were conducted against them whilst actually conducting operations against their rivals you also help them to locate Maritime Transportation to his ship their drugs and help to expand their territory and also the documents allege that he warned them against u. S. Operations against them and in one occasion that led to one member of the cartel being murdered because he was suspected of being in touch of erroneous scenes with the u. S. Law enforcement operations against that cartel now the indictment in the cover letter says that theyve got lots of different messages between salvador see him for eagles and a Senior Leader within the cartel even with his photo a name attached to some of them which are evidence of exactly what he did during his time when he was the head of mexicos army so its quite powerful accusations against a man which between 20122018 was met chris defense minister and thats one of the principle leaders supposedly of the fight against criminal organizations in the country. This now some in sound like it could have implications for the current government too right. Yeah i mean the mets can president and that is matter Lopez Obrador obviously. Was not the defense minister under his watch it was the administration before him and the president Enrique Pena Nieto now what president under his manuel Lopez Obrador and his party more and of been pushing for some time is a referendum over whether to bring to trial former president s of mexicos that have done wrongdoing and ive speaking to an analyst just an hour or so ago who said to me well this really helps to push that case because the logical argument would be well if he was doing this how do we know that his boss wasnt involved in it now thats only going to help president and that is manual Lopez Obrador politically because if hes bringing former president s or former defense ministers to justice than it helps with his case to say that hes ending corruption in the country which is long stated is what hes going to do but one thing that we have to point out is that in this case and in the of the high profile case which is of the former Public Security minister thats also awaiting trial in the u. S. It was the United States thats been arresting these figures not the mexican authorities so this is Political Capital perhaps friends of his men who Lopez Obrador but hes actually hasnt been his administration that so far has been leading this fight against top officials will leave it there for now thanks so much john homa. Britains Prime Minister says he disagrees with the idea of imposing a complete National Lockdown london and a number of other cities have banned indoor gatherings on englands new 3 stage alert system theyve been moved to level 2 numbers of new cases has come down slightly. Some of argued that we should introduce a National Lockdown instead of targeted local action i disagree closing businesses in cornwall where transmission is low will not cut transmission in manchester so while i cant rule anything out if the top possible i want to avoid another National Lockdown with the Damaging Health economic and social effects it would have made farka has more from london now. The latest message from both the Prime Minister and his scientific advises is that the pandemic is spreading in all age groups all across the country not as fast as it was growing in march the rate of reinfection within the population is around 1. 00 its not going up in an unmitigated way longer because of restrictions that are in already in place things like social distancing the wearing of mass so on and so forth nevertheless because of the rising numbers parts of the country have been pressured by Central Government here in london im talking specifically about manchester to up the restrictions for my to very high the merriment just has been resisting that largely over fears about the impact on peoples lives and livelihoods but what force johnson said is that numbers are going up so fast that within 2 weeks we would may well see more people in intensive care in manchester than at the peak of the pandemic earlier on in the year and if nothing is done to to bring that number down the Central Government here may well have to directly intervene so were seeing a quick challenging situation yes the desire for Boris Johnson to resist a more lengthy follow lock down but at the same time and knowledge him and the perhaps Central Government does need to be significantly more robust when it comes to challenging conceptions and ideas and given parts of the country there are some though that believe that a short term several week long lockdown a much more full lockdown is what is necessary including the leader of the opposition or many feel that that will be the inevitable direction of travel either way.

Fighting between armenia and azerbaijan has continued with the occupied im gonna care about the region humanitarian ceasefire brokered by russia has been repeatedly violated by both sides and theres Bernard Smith reports from the shushi in the garden account of our current fighting is driven by history of conflicts. In centuries past azeris and armenians live together in shushi once the capital of nagornokarabakh to the azeris this is that cultural heartland and this is one of 3 mosques in the town but until the 1920 s. This was once part of armenia then soviet leader Joseph Stalin redrew maps and made it an autonomous region within soffit azerbaijan when karabakh voted in 1909 for independence the is there is 10 kilometers away instead panic came and the armenians left.

A few days back weve seen a few dozens on the streets of kabul with more than a few hundreds today we are counting maybe 3000 or more people on the streets of the border and as they move through the streets the procession grows its not only here in the buddha its also in lagos lagos known for its gridlock has suffered major disruptions as well today now the protesters are demanding continue to protest on the streets of nigeria despite concessions made by government 1st of all the government says it has scrapped the police unit they were asking for and. Changed it with another one called this what the protesters are not convinced they said its just a change in name they also want more informs and one protester i spoke to actually called for recycling or resignation of this particular police according to the Police Inspector general is not in a position to deal with these people they seem more powerful than this government itself apart from that talk to other protesters on the street and you hear about more reforms fighting corruption people elected representatives being more accountable president s governors. Members of parliament and all that so the protests ideas or demands keep changing from time to time and as authorities are afraid that they could even go bigger than those demands those demands could grow even bigger as time goes by. Security forces in getting have bombed the entrance to the Capital City Center as Tensions Mount ahead of sundays president ial election. Men attacked a military base in western giving killing the camps come on the a statement from the ministry of defense says the army has responded to the death of colonel conde president alpha conde seeking a 3rd term in a campaign which has been mobbed by violence and ethnic divisions nicholas hawks has more from neighboring senegal the situation is tense just 48 hours before sundays president ial vote now this shooting that happened gunfire that happened in this military military camp in candia just 3 hours drive from the capital clinical thats a military base where many officers are trained as well as those soldiers that will be deployed in Un Peacekeeping missions at the u.

Still pretty much before large because of the danger over the surge and dont go over to 19 but the people we have seen are oblivious to that today it is going to be important to also see whether these Political Parties that have now come under our common agenda are going to try to exert pressure and to be able to stand a movement.

Imran neons he has failed miserably he has mismanaged the economy and the poor people are facing huge inflation and unemployment this day should be marked as the end of irans era and he should immediately resign before its too late theres a Political Party from the far left or the far right and it will be important for. You in order to the british version of the government to resign and theyre. Really critical but the government on the other hand they measured hell bent on rooting out corruption and i did something that the opposition is saying is being used as a political rent. Goal now for nearly a decade the japanese government has been trying to figure out what to do with more than a 1000000 tons of radioactive water from its fukushima Nuclear Plant local media are reporting it will be gradually released into the sea the plant was destroyed in an earthquake and tsunami in 2011 the Utility Company that runs focus has been storing contaminated water on site and itll run out of space next year representatives from the japanese fishing industry of urge the government not to release it south korea still has a ban on imported fish from the fukushima region sean bernie is a Senior Nuclear specialist with greenpeace and runs the Nuclear Program in japan he says dumping at sea may be the cheapest option but its also a message sorry. Well the thing to understand is that the government in japan would have everyone believe that its only one type of radioactivity so called city and thats in the water again thats also not true there are many different people who plights in the water including strontium 90 which is the bone sticking cancer causing isotope. That will be released along with all the other reader activity in the water over about 30 years starting possibly in 2023 if we can stop them and that water then spreads through washing currents but the reader activity depending on the type of activity concentrates in different marine life and sea weeds and ultimately in the human food chain unfortunately they have dismissed the alternatives did not use the best Available Technology and they have this crisis of over a 1000000 tons of contaminants in water. The alternative is very clear which is to continue to store in more robust tanks the japanese governments own committee in february issued a report or egg knowledged that storage on site after 2022 was possible it ruled out because they said to them it would take time to negotiate theres also the land outside the Fukushima Daiichi site which of course is highly contaminated and will not be inhabited by most people from that era for the foreseeable future so the storage option is clearly the grassed option other than rather than releasing directly into the environment and thats what weve been telling the guy japanese government and thats what well be demanding that they do this is not over the governments making a decision but it doesnt mean its going to happen. Well still to come on aljazeera is set to host a big asian football final in December Peter will have the details in sport. All right its time to catch up on all the sport his faith.
