Hello welcome to the news hour we begin in thailand where police and antigovernment protest as a force in the center of the capital water cannon was used to break through a barricade set up by demonstrators in bangkok for a 3rd day in a row now thousands of people defied a government ban on gatherings that calling for the Prime Ministers resignation and they also want unprecedented reforms to the countrys monna came. Hyder a ports now. Face to face in bangkok antigovernment protesters in tahrir police got into a violent confrontation 3 months to make. 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 to authorities began using everything at their disposal to stop the protests including water cannon with burning agent laced blue water the protesters are demanding a new constitution reform of the monarchy and the resignation of the cabinet including Prime Minister prayer genota something he dismissed on friday as he explained the reasons for the emergency order of the. Lets not be left 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 have 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 scotter out just here bangkok. Well on the headline story today trade negotiations but in the European Union appear to be on the brink of collapse after the u. K. Prime minister want businesses to prepare for a no deal brax it a Prime Ministers official spokesperson then told journalists the trade talks are over but as it seems to be the case with bricks that nothing is ever really forebrain and. 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. 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 to be a stumbling over everything everything. 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 i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with the rangelands 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. 00 to the u. K. Economy thats around 7 percent of g. D. P. And the 33000000000. 00 of Financial Services which are exported to the e. U. Are now in jeopardy the food and drink Federation Said the u. K. Was heading into very dangerous territory with tariffs exacting a heavy price on shoppers and the head of the c. B. I. Pleaded that this is no time to give up neither side can afford to fall the final fence the german chancellor though held out a glimmer of hope the month of iraq was put on you not to you know when my the britain nor the e. U. Wants an agreement at any price we are ready to continue negotiations we have seen a light in the last days of negotiations but of course they are still shut i believe that it is much better for both sides to reach an agreement but not at any price. The e. U. Chief negotiator Michel Barnier is ready to travel to london on monday to try to find a compromise but the british chief negotiator david frost told him not to bother the 2 sides will speak instead by telephone paul brennan aljazeera london. Have more on this lets speak with much to rahman hes the managing director for year up at the Eurasian Group obviously a very dramatic gesture by the Prime Minister today between brussels saying that the negotiations will simply continue and in case chief negotiator saying that Michel Barnier doesnt have to come to london next week what happens when where do the talks go from here. But i dont think we should be too carried away of the drama frankly today i think another mini crisis was certainly expected on the e. U. Side we know Boris Johnson was hoping for originally hoping for an agreement at todays council when it was clear he was going to get he was hoping for some concessions on the process so this idea is intensified talks that you didnt even give him not so of course he has to respond and until he and thats exactly what hes doing i suspect Michel Barnier and david frost will not talk on monday while theyll agree among themselves a slightly more intensive form of bets a structure that does play and meet some of these you can object to this and then i suspect the talks will continue is a not taken seriously but this is going to be very stressful for businesses in the country isnt it have already taken a hit from the coronavirus now theyre facing the prospect of tariffs the what very real possibility of tariffs on trade with the e. U. It is its a stressful and theres going to be a tremendous amount of uncertainty but frankly i dont think a deal was ever realistically expected prior to going to mid november the kind of timeframe and you know were in the teeth of the negotiation now the government has moved a bit on a key offensive interest for your about state aid there are some suggestions if you look closely im on your press conference that the french preparing to move on say shot with a lot of trade off between these 2 big outstanding issues and then the rest are not details there are important issues that need to be resolved like governance like other aspects of this socalled level Playing Field but i think the deal is there to be done and ive not really seen anything frankly today that fundamentally alters my my my base case a deal will be done but it will take a bit more time to drill down not much time left does the statement that we had from the Prime Minister today perhaps give brussel something of an upper hand does it make them think that they can play for time and really push that january 1st deadline. You know i think look the way the way Boris Johnson has framed the intervention today when talks resume hell be able to say they resume precisely because that year has now been a bit more forthcoming on the substance of the process which are the concessions he needs to be able to claim he won in order to sell the deal home thanks terms of extending the deadline beyond 1st of john youre i dont think anybody frankly believe that is not doable because you have to create a Legal Process affectively extends this transition period thats very very difficult to do so the outcome at the end of the it will be binary either there will be a deal or that wont be in order to have that implemented by the end of this year i think you know it so late november is probably the last window to do it so theres still a bit of negotiating time left i think you mentioned the obstacles around fishing rights for example and then you have all the sticking points with the level Playing Field for british businesses but fundamentally the politics hair is that you have the Prime Minister says need to make brett 6 successful and the e. U. Trying to make sure that that doesnt happen how do you get around that. Well i dont think an agreement is mutually exclusive with the outcome but youve just described i mean for response and can already claim but the e. U. Has moved on state aid if you remember their original position the e. U. Was asking it was not the u. K. Follows state aid rules e. U. Stated rules in perpetuity and thats not where we are now but the u. K. Will agree to a set of principles that approximate what the e. U. Is doing but certainly not following the rules and regulations in perpetuity so theres already a win on states that the government can sell on say an accommodation needs to be reached between the french and the brits and i suspect one will be found originally the e. U. Is asking for status quo access to u. K. Water now the u. K. s leaving of course your cannot expect status quo in micron and barney a chief negotiator if your been a few others have already begun suggesting theyre not seeking status quo anymore so even on fish theres a landing zone on the middle in the middle east policy problems are more insoluble i think there needs to be something of a choreography about allows the 2 sides to claim a well win and sell the deal to their respective domestic audiences and i think were moving into the zone now where well get those compromises and both sides will be able to do that west of iran thank you aneli one story that weve been following closely over the past few hours French Police saying that a teacher has been beheaded in a suburb northwest of the capital paris they can mess at or shine cartoons of the prophet mohammed to students in attack at an 18 year old man born in moscow was shot dead by police shortly after the Incident Police have opened a terrorism investigation and novelty to. Assisting in one of their fellow citizens was murdered today because he was a teacher because he was teaching students freedom of expression freedom to believe and not to believe akam patrick was attacked in the fashion but he was a victim of a characteristic islamic terrorist attack tasha butler is in paris and sent us this update. What we understand from a Police Spokesperson is that it was around 5 oclock in the afternoon local time here in france in coffee santa ana reno a small town in a suburb northwest of paris when police approached a young man they say in in the street in a residential area not far from the school they say this young man had been acting suspiciously when they approached him he threatened them they say he had a knife in his hands he was armed and then they opened fire they shot him dead now when they then approached the attack of that have been shot dead they looked and about 200 meters away police say they saw the body of a man on the Ground Police say that body had been decapitated now what we understand is that the victim was in fact a professor of history a teacher of history i should say in a secondary School High School i think youd say in france not far from the scene where he was killed police say that it was just last week that this teacher had actually taken a bunch of students and he had been teaching them about freedom of expression freedom of speech should have been a class and what he had shown them during that class as part of it was the front of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper that had some cartoons of the prophet mohammed and what police are saying is that they believe the attack is linked to the fact that those teacher. Cartoons now police have a little bit more information about the attack and he was born in 2002 seems only 18 years old he was actually born in moscow. In the news hour life from london much more still ahead on the program to town halls to separate locations but which of the president ial contenders won the battle for the most of us. The british Prime Minister baraks johnston says he opposes another National Lockdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus but he hasnt ruled it out london and several other areas will move into level 2 restrictions part of the new 3 tier alert system in place in england for more on this lets speak to neve of how all this work. Will marry and they always said that thursdays the new friday here in london they subsidy no exception here in soho. People are moving home at a slow and largely orderly pace much earlier than usual because theyve been to tempe curfew in place now for several weeks and a woman it past midnight theyll be even more restrictions governing how when where people can meet some people do these new restrictions is being incredibly intrusive others see them as being the only way to bring the steadily increasing infection rate under control and other people view these new restrictions as being something of a prey due to something deeper and possibly even wider. Last chance saloon from midnight on friday new rules in london and other parts of england the mixing of different households inside a part of the governments localised response to rising infection rates a move the Prime Minister said avoided the need for another national law down. Some of them argued that we should introduce a National Lockdown and instead of targeted local action i disagree closing businesses in cornwall where transmission is low will not cut transmission in manchester so what i cant rule anything out if a tour possible i want to avoid another National Lockdown with the damaging economic and social effects it would have in the capital up to 6 people for mixed households all support bubbles can still meet outside where theres little infection risk leading to some creative ways of bringing people together winters coming and britains bracing for a season out of the cold theres growing anger over the social economic and health costs of curtailing peoples freedom the Prime Minister promised johnson is walking a delicate tightrope between those who say his measures are far too restrictive and those who believe the government isnt going far enough in trying to stop this virus in its tracks a better argument also erupted between the British Government and leaders in the north of england the mayor of manchesters warned of dire consequences for the local economy if forced to accept the toughest coronavirus restrictions including a complete ban on social gatherings. The United Kingdom has europes highest official death toll but cases are soaring across europe with around 100000 infections a day the czech republics building the countrys 1st makeshift hospital to cope with europes fastest rise in cases more than 4000 hospital staff are now infected. In some of the most drastic measures paris and other major friend cities will be under nightly curfews for 4 weeks starting on saturday. Many businesses across europe were counting on the Christmas Season to help bolster sales and protect jobs instead europe now responsible for a 3rd of all global cases is bracing for a winter of deep discontent. So youve got multiple warnings in several countries across the whole of europe in addition to the ones that i mentioned in that report brussels belgium has been warning of a shortage of intensive care beds they say theyll run out of room within a matter of weeks if the level of infection there continues to soar as it has been doing in the past few days warnings to from northern italy from lombardi of course melanne so badly hit by the 1st wave of coronavirus officials in italy have resisted the possibility of reintroducing tight lock downs in cities or entire regions but now we gather that that is not off the table and a sense too that the pandemic is impeding on Decision Makers in the European Union 3 e. U. Leaders having to drop out of all important talks in brussels that it doesnt appear to be a single corner of europe that isnt deeply affected by this escalating crisis thanks very much. Now drug giant pfizer says it could file for emergency u. S. Authorization of its covert 1000. 00 vaccine next month if approved it could be available by the end of the year pfizer will announce a vaccine is effective later this month based on a Clinical Trial in the trial involving 40000. 00 people the company is warned it also needs safety data which will not be available until november another American Company mcdonough is aiming to seek authorization for expects its vaccination by november 25th.

Now mexicos president has promised to clean up the armed forces after the arrest in the United States of the countrys former defense minister on drug charges salvador led the army for 6 years and then president and reka pena nieto its a blow for mexicos army a key player in the fight against the countrys drug cartels John Heilemann has more. Hinted i think by those the infernal cepeda think of it that you the anything senator knight as head of mexicos armed forces from 2012 to 18 salvador see him for a goals was a key part of the fight against organized crime. The lobby that but now in a surprise arrest by u. S. Authorities hes accused of playing for the wrong team all along charged with conspiring to manufacture and ship cocaine meth and heroin into the u. S. As well as protecting the h 2 cartel from mexican and u. S. Law enforcement. 2 the indictment says he was known as el reno the godfather its a 1st time the former head of the mets knaan forces has been arrested president Lopez Obrador claims it shows the failure of past governments. Why is that. This is an unequivocal signal of the decay of the government in the neoliberal period and i always said it wasnt just a crisis that it was a progressive deregulation this should serve for us to understand that the main problem mexico is corruption. Its a political gift for the president he sees himself as an anti graft crusader and has proposed a referendum to run in tandem with midterm elections over whether to charge former president s have committed alleged crimes in mexico right now already one of the top topics in discussion is should former president s go on trial and this plays right into that if a minister of defense was involved with Drug Trafficking what about his books is going to be used by the governing party more and other part of president of the world or to bring out voters is the idea of you know going to go to people say well you know why you know youre going to go out and bore and waits and election this is historic once in a lifetime chance to clean up mexico but will it be more than just a vote getter a cats. Perhaps for real change the president s other comments made dump an expectation and he claimed that the army and navy of pillars of the mets can state so strong that the detention of one ex defense minister doesnt make them weaker thats going to be hard for some people to swallow after all sin for eagles led mexicos army for 6 years and not through long ago but president Lopez Obrador has come to the president on his generals perhaps even more than his predecessors relying on them to combat crime and also to build infrastructure and this arrest was carried out by the us not by mexico which had no investigation opening to see him for eagles this is just the start of a meaningful clean up the road bump to be quickly forgotten is an open question john homan.

Well American Voters were asked to tune into competing televised events on thursday with President Donald Trump and democratic candidate joe biden both vying for their attention data shows the former Vice President joe biden pulled in more than 13900000 viewers while trump attracted roughly 13000000 analysts also measured black and hispanic voters demographics play a key role in next months poll bidens audience was at 32 percent nonwhite trump was close behind though at 29 percent while White House Correspondent can really help as more on this now from washington. 2 very distinct and different styles of campaigning donald trump the more combative he got it seemed the more at ease he became much like his presidency and then it was a stark contrast to the more measured kind of policy focused someone even say sleepy town hall of joe biden so this is essentially the choice that americans are going to make and in fact we should point out are already making because the numbers seem to indicate that when it comes to early voting that these are numbers weve never seen before in the United States some 21000000 americans have already cast their ballots and more are expected in advance of the november 3rd election and what also makes the campaigns nervous particularly on donald trump said is there are fewer undecided voters this time around than in 2016 roughly 7 percent of the voting public is undecided so that means that donald trump especially has to work very very hard to try and win over but it is going to be a challenge because again hes behind by most polls by double digits but the number of undecided voters is in the Single Digits so even if he captured all of them he could still potentially lose the election so hes working very hard hes campaigning in the battleground state of florida but we also know that joe biden is hitting those battleground states very hard as well and as we know as well hes going to bring out some of the big names next week the former president barack obama will be campaigning we know on wednesday on behalf of his Vice President joe biden of course running to take the oval office. Well as kimberly was saying there almost 21000000 americans have already voted even though election day still 3 weeks away and us watching those polls say 10 out amongst democrats is almost 3 percent higher than at this point 2016 well David Campbell is a professor of Political Science at university of missouri st louis and author of helping america vote the limits of election reform he joins us via skype from st louis so some unprecedented early voting on buzz nearly 20000000 americans as we were saying have voted early compared to some 6000000 at this stage in the race 4 years ago now many of these are democrats but just tell us more about the the specific demographic groups that were talking about. Right its a little bit different this year because of the pandemic and i think because of the high interest in the election among American Voters but. Typically people who vote early tend to be older than average American Voters for example and they tend to be very. Highly interested in the outcome of elections so you strong strong partisans either republicans or democrats so does that how much of a difference so how much of an advantage does it give the democrats obviously we know what the polling numbers say but in those key swing states ah these early voters just the same people the same support says that would that it just voting early or. Right i mean i think theres 2 things here at play one is greater interest in in the election this year maybe than weve seen the past and then also. The pandemic and greater interest particularly among democrats to vote early or by what we call absentee voting. Whereas many republicans i think are following the lead of the president and maybe waiting to vote on election day or maybe less willing to vote early. Oh so how how conscious are the democrats of that then does it mean that there is going to be this big republican wave coming from voters who have yet to cause that ballots but would rather do so in person on election day itself. Right the evidence from from Public Opinion poll suggests theyre more republicans are waiting to vote on election day so even though were seeing so far more democrats and republicans voting early that could be balanced out once the elections over and once the election day voting is completed is President Trump running out of time to turn things around ticket in those battleground states. Right were less than 3 weeks to to the election at least the National Polls and some of the polls in the swing states show the president trailing joe biden so the time is short to get things turned around for the president what could go wrong for joe biden. Well. Some strange event late breaking news. Perhaps but at least to this point that it did its that biden has over President Trump in the polls has been relatively stable and if anything has grown a little larger so. You know as we get closer to the election its harder to imagine what might train change the trajectory here we were just talking about the early voting just give us a sense of how dire is for President Trump in the sense that he is losing support amongst women in the suburbs and also among Senior Citizens that combined with that wave of democratic voting not these very negative factors for him. Right. In previous elections women voted more for the democratic candidate than republicans. But that gap has widened particularly among women living in suburban areas of the country which which tend to be relatively competitive between the 2 parties i think the fact that the president s losing ground among elderly voters is maybe even more worrisome because elderly voters voted pretty strongly for President Trump in 2016 well thank you very much thank you for sharing your thoughts with us David Kendall presser fiscal fines university of missouri st louis thank you. Well the organization of american states has called on bolivians to ensure sundays president ial election isnt marred by violence amid a tightening race between 2 main president ial candidates but will be key to the direction of the landlocked country after a fraught ballot last year vote point to the resignation of the former president evo morales and plunge the landing country into turmoil trays of reports. Son was buried in a mass grave in the cemetery he was a victim of covert 19 element that element then unfortunately he was buried in this grave im very outraged there are individual graves and my son was not given the opportunity what can i do this is the way locke is offering. Levy has lost more than 8000 people to cope with 19 and the numbers are climbing its against this backdrop that voters head to the polls this weekend to elect the countrys president the elections have already been postponed twice because of colvin 19 and as the country deals with more than 180000 infections and then overwhelm the Hospital System health care is for many people a leading election issue robin says that others on the list but the pandemic course in a critical situation in the country in the hospitals we didnt have enough intensive care units i want a president will give us the Health Care System we deserve. Instability has been on the rise in the country after former president evo morales was forced to resign last year he was accused of committing fraud voters will have to choose between the candidate of evil moralists party. And former president. Polls suggest there might be a 2nd round. In the primitive would sit. In the 1st round power is at stake because the 1st round will define congress in the 2nd round will define who will be the next president theres a deep crisis because we face. Problems of all sorts economic social political we need to have minimum standards to decrease the level of conflict whats at stake in the election is bolivia is democratic system or electoral of 40 say theyre taking all the necessary measures to prevent the spread of the virus like preventing physical contact between voters and officials in the polling stations. You cite each station the electoral notaries i in charge of guaranteeing that voters wont be in contact with others that their weary face must improve around and a type of kong or a should at a polling site. Believe is in desperate need of political stability and the selections are crucial to guarantee the next president has the legitimacy needed to help the country recover. Well now theres been a standoff outside a court in the South African town of semicolon wet 2 black men are accused of the murder of a white farm worker the killing 2 weeks ago has led to tensions between white farmers and supporters of the Opposition Party for me the mela reports.

Soap it must be followed because of the danger over the surgeons over 19 but the people we have seen are oblivious to that today it is going to be important to also see whether this Political Parties that have now come under a common agenda are going to try to exert pressure and to be able to stand a movement.

That will be released along with all the other radioactivity in the water over about 30 years starting possibly in 2023 if we cant stop them and that water then spreads through washing currents but the radioactivity 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 of water.
