And a nasa spacecraft grabs a handful of cosmic rubble from an asteroid to bring back to earth. And. The oldest sport Manchester United. Mine the Champions League at the red devils its going to late 2 into one in paris. Thanks for joining us we begin in nigeria thats where protesters against Police Brutality are defying a 24 hour curfew and a call for calm by president mohamed to bihari. Security forces and lagos opened fire. Fire on wednesday morning after several demonstrators were reportedly shot dead on tuesday in another part of nigerias commercial capital a large fire burned at a bus station. These videos are emerging of many uniform opening fire and killing people in lagos on tuesday but Security Forces are denying any involvement. Lets bring in a disease for an update hes joining us right now what are you hearing about the situation right now in lagos. Well there in this situation is getting out of control there are more shootings today i would see in increase in attacks we see in arson weve seen looting in parts of lagos state for example apart from the bus station youre mention a t. V. Station an independent television station was burned and was forced off a few hours later one of the respected independent television stations again in lagos was forced off the reason it was showing on screen was of an imminent attack on stuff and its operations and the television is back running skeletor services now but there are fears that these attacks will continue what is not sutton who is who is carrying out these attacks these up peaceful protests that began way back about 3 weeks ago and then eventually it has started taking another dimension now apart from these incidents they were attacks reported attacks on the nigerian portal 40 offices in lagos private residences have also been targeted and the situation is becoming more and more confusing very as more and more people are keeping in those respective because if youre in course but there are people actually on the streets weve seen pictures of people targeting businesses and looting shops driving on the streets of lagos so this is the situation so far the government is calling the governor of lagos state has called for calm asking people to respect the curfew and stay indoors but a lot of people are angry about what happened yesterday and so eventually is seen now or today is actually a reaction of what exactly took place yesterday at the. Toll gate where Security Forces opened fire on people who gathered peacefully to demonstrate although they were blocking the roads ok thank you very much for that update from abuse or lets not speak to a lot local to reba who is an independent. Researcher on nigeria she is joining us from london thanks for your time with us on aljazeera so on the face of it these protests look like there abouts Police Brutality and Police Violence in nigeria but you say that theyre actually much more than that what are the underlying issues that are fueling the protesters well i think it became very clear very quickly that the protests could never just be about because they kind of abuses which are documented in facades squad are also something thats become part of everyday life and in that contact with figures of authority across the board i think also means that the. Gross inequality which weve seen has meant that the young people going out in the streets feel like its a fight for survival so young people whove been given very little opportunity at 2 years ago the president said that these young people just want to do nothing and get everything for free get education and housing for free theyre saying well if as a government youre not going to provide us with basic necessities we dont have access to clean water we dont have 24 hours electricity were not even finding for those things were just saying dont tell us that that man should be very simple in terms of responding to where the governments response has just been to. Use water cannon and fire on protesters and theyre experiencing that brutality and its only making the protests and the demands of the protests brought in so many right now what would you say are the demands of the protesters because of the government did respond to ending sars and they just they did disband the unit on october the 11th but it sounds like youre saying that thats just not enough. Well theres no trust on the ground this was the 4th time in as many years that the government said that it had either were formed or despondent the sars you know that. But in reality all that has man is that the problem gets shifted to another place all those same people those same individuals who were able to act with impunity continue to act and harass young people and i think at the moment the demands of the protest as well for a long time they tried to make sure that it remains centered on the court demand of providing restitution to the families who have been victims of Police Brutality and all the people who have been killed by police to of ensuring that there was a chain of command in times of. Holding office is accountable increasing Police Salaries so an average Police Sergeant makes less than 1600. 00 a year compared to a salary for a senator which is upwards of 750000 ira so over 2000. 00 a month. Various demands of broadening him the message from the ground seems to be fast stars fast Getting Police accountability and band now that weve rediscovered this power doing that out to the question of bad governance in my jury a in general thats been trending both in megawatts and in the u. K. I am for the last few days we are getting reports from lego sets about the looting shops taking place and vandalism as well. Our reporter is saying that these are kind of isolated incidents though but are you worried that these actions are going to undermine the message from the protesters and the protest movement. So the protesters have been very clear from the get go that what they wanted to do was conduct a Peaceful Movement through acts of civil disobedience and to achieve that ams what happened yesterday was an utter horror. Leckie toll gate bridge has been a core site of demonstrations throughout the protests and its also been a place whether been a report last night of violence to open fire on protesters who were protesting peacefully has cause rightfully a huge amount of anger not just in nigeria but across the diaspora in response to that i mean protests have pointed out before that theyve seen aliments you know. Of pete athletics and people coming in and trying to sow seeds of discord trying to instigate violence in response so that they hired security and to protect themselves not just from police but from these criminal elements i think whats really important to remember in all of this is that there are core of protesters the vast majority of people on the street it will continue in the struggle for a better nigeria and those people are engaging in these acts and it seems to be that the governments hostility is trying to escalate violence on the ground and they remain resolute in their sponsor not that theyre not going to take the bait right away thank you very much annie on the local with her about her speaking to us from london thank you. Now Security Forces in sudan have fired tear gas are protesters complaining about the cost of living the annual inflation rate hit a record peak of more than 200 percent last month the Transitional Government has struggled to revive the economy and the overthrow of president on Martin Bashir last year lets get an update from her morgan shes joining us from the streets in khartoum hippo so what can you tell us about the protests taking place. Well for one thing there are things are not going doing the protesters want to now theyve been saying that they wanted to be a peaceful protest they just want their voices heard but then Security Forces are firing stun grenades and tear gas now you can see behind me process there is still lining up still walking and trying to make their voices heard they have. Tires to vent out their frustration and they say that theyre not trying to oust the government of Prime Minister abdullah rather theyre trying to put pressure on it so that it can improve the Living Conditions now thats because of the inflation has been rising steadily since the government came to power in august last year in january it was just at 60 percent and now its at more than 200 percent many people cant afford basic commodities anymore and its not only that people have been standing in line for fuel and bread for weeks and weeks now this is something that is becoming a regular theme here in sudan and people are saying that this is quite frustrating then theres the issue of how much control the military has there saying that when they took to the streets in 10 to 18 thats to oust a military government and have a civilian cabinet in place but they say that the military still controls most of the institution and especially the economic institutions which is making it very hard to improve Living Conditions so protesters here have taken to the streets once more there also call them a routine the 1st anniversary of the anniversary of the 1st in 1964 over 21st 964 saying that this means that they are trying to show the government the revolution is still alive and. They will continue to pressure so that the government continues to deliver all right the thought to deliver services to the people as well as holding to account those worst possible protesters and their evolution in 10 to 18 to 2019.

Tear down declared a major success for a mission he is in the making of. The spacecraft dubbed osiris ricks is about the size of a van its been circling the asteroid since 28 team getting ready to make its precarious landing oh my gosh were there folks that was amazing i mean i dont know if you saw the team here but they just kind of blew up there when. From being silly odd to like celebrating the super bowl its a Pretty Amazing technological feat and all of this was done by the stroke by itself you know its its its far too far away to be controlled in real time by its handlers yonder osiris rex chose a flat spot and nightingale crisis to touch down surrounded by boulders as big as buildings nasa says the craft kissed to the surface landing for just 5 seconds and to send up a cloud of dust and rocks collecting samples scientists hope will unlock the secrets of life on earth the spacecraft did everything it was supposed to do. So weve did it we tagged the surface of the asteroid and its up to benny now to see how the event went asteroids like benaud date back about 4500000000 years so Scientists Say collecting the samples is like reaching back in time asteroids are our traffic and theyre one of the best ways that we have learning about the very early streets over system before the formation of the earth and moon because after the earth moon formed all the rocks that went into them have been recycled. Japan space agency landed a similar craft on another asteroid twice last year that sample is due back in december. For the team at nasa has to wait to find out if osiris rex picked up enough rubble to bring back to earth all itll have another shot at a landing seems like things are pretty well there so we try to get to have our fingers crossed that it works and if they determine that they got enough just stuff will be coming back down to earth locally in september 2023 and scientists will be able to get their hands on the right. They scientists clearly happy with progress and get to come back down to earth themselves and accept brian aljazeera.

To demand more truly and voice solidarity at all to journalists sign the petition. To say. With the news hour on aljazeera here the top stories. Security forces in the nigerian city of lagos have reportedly fired on protesters again on wednesday despite a 24 hour curfew crowds have returned to the streets to demonstrate against Police Brutality. And Security Forces have fired tear gas up his house was complaining about the cost of living the Transitional Government a struggle to revive the economy overthrow of president obama last year. 25 afghan Security Forces personnel have been killed in a Taliban Attack the group has intensified offensives in the last few weeks even as peace talks continue the Afghan Government.

Break it down for us allan joining us from washington what more are we learning about the c. D. C. Report. Well politically this is going to make very uncomfortable reading for donald trump who of course has been seeing over the last 10 days what hes been saying for a lot longer than that but picked over the last 10 days that the virus is going away there is the possibility that the situation is going to get much worse before the end of the year one of the surprising figures those in the age of 25 to 44 have been particularly badly hit many people thought the young people would be able to fight this off because of the immune system turns out the excess death rate is somewhere in the region of 26 percent so that will be a surprise as well all this coming as the infection rate across many parts of the United States is increasing were seeing a rise of about 40 percent in those cases particularly in states in the midwest of course theres no plan to do any shut down joe biden would suggest that donald trump doesnt have any plan a toll certainly going to be one of the hot topics when the 2 men meet at the next president ial debate which of course is on thursday yet allan how much progress is being made so far on the Coronavirus Relief package being discussed. Of course we went through the whole situation where donald trump said there will be no more talks until after the election and then suggest that he actually wanted to get talks going saying that he would sign a limited bill and then hes been saying on the campaign trail over the last couple of days that he actually wants to put more money into covert relief deal than the actual democrats though nancy pelosi the leader of the democrats in the house the House Speaker she has been saying that there has been some progress she has been involved in discussions with steve miniature who is the white house on boy on this also the treasury secretary and it appears that there were some grown being made but then we hear from Mitch Mcconnell who apparently told senior republican senators on tuesday at a lunch that he doesnt want to deal before election day that he thinks that nancy pelosi is doing this training trying to make sure that the senate will not fully confirm him equally by that to the Supreme Court that she is playing political games and not negotiating in good faith that of course could cause a split in republican ranks because many People Living in republican states are saying look we need this money we cant wait at least another 2 weeks this is got to be done and should have been done weeks ago so if Mitch Mcconnell is to believe hes advising the white house not to sign any deal donald trump is saying he wants to get it done nancy pelosi says theyre making progress and meantime ordinary people in the us are wondering what is going to happen when its going to happen in the fall mean money in their pocket while theyre being hit very hard by those fires yeah ok allan thank you very much alex are reporting from washington.

The internet giant google says legal action launched by the Us Government is deeply flawed Justice Department lawyers say google abuses abuses its market dominance in online searches and advertising by stifling competition and its accuse of paying billions of dollars to phone manufacturers to ensure its the default Search Engine for browsers the company says its popular because users want to google it not because theyre forced to larry mouser this is the c. E. O. And cofounder of connect safely dot org which advocates for Online Privacy and security he explained how google is likely to defend itself i think one argument that they might make is to go back to 2000 im sorry go back in 1998 when microsoft was on the hot seat for a very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress saying you know some other company could come along and unseat us and indeed that very year a to graduate students from stanford were in a garage here in palo alto building google which actually did overshadow microsoft when it came to the internet so i suspect thats the argument theyll make and i suspect the conner argument will be made that that google controlled the entire android platform it dominate search and it promotes its own products and it makes it difficult for other companies to compete either with search or with internet advertising theres a lot of both a legal and a political war going on between washington and Silicon Valley but this is a very specific lawsuit issued by the Justice Department claiming google is exercising monopoly power over search and over internet advertising so there is probably by far part of some support for this battle i mean the Trump Administration has their gripes against google but so do democrats so i suspect this will be vigorously prosecuted and even if joe biden were to win the election i wouldnt be surprised if his Justice Department continued the suit. The e. U. And u. K. s top rights that negotiators plan to speak later on wednesday their standoff has been intensifying since negotiations ground to a halt last week addressing the e. U. Parliament of the European Council president Charles Michel said that if britain wants access to its markets it has to keep its waters open to you fisherman the u. K. Is refusing to do this jonah hall reports from kent where communities are preparing for a no deal scenario. Ive concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with the rangelands that are more like australias. First as if they havent been through enough already towns communities businesses theyve seen deadlines missed and deals made only to find themselves wondering again when breaks it ends and a Bright Future begins it is an unprecedented situation so weve had the worst recession in decades and in centuries the pandemic and were having new restrictions introduced on a kind of weekly basis that members are having to get to grips with so theyre really struggling for time and resource when it comes to. The end of the transition period the tiny village of mers im in kent is one place where reality is beginning to bite nobody knows do they really whats going to happen i think its very very scary for a day even the people i think voted to leave i dont think they voted for this did they i think nobody knows whats going to happen its very Uncertain Times for putting it on adjacent countryside once earmarked for a new amazon delivery depo the ground is being cleared for a giant truck park so thats got permission for 6 months to park up to one and a half 1000 lorries considering that this site already had permission for development so youve got to look at the reality rather than we wish nothing. Its a bit like wishing to happen if you put a face the reality and the reality is we dont know what weve got a lot of breaks and support came from villages in the kent countryside here so close to the channel with europe on the other side but apart from the hardest core breaks it supporters the card of the many people who imagined this for years on Green Belt Land being churned up to park thousands of trucks as they wait to complete complicated customs forms made all the worse if node trade. Is reached with.
