Thousands marching through bogota. And pope francis speaks out in support of civil unions for same sex couples at a radical shift from his predecessors. The f. B. I. Is accusing both iran and russia of trying to interfere with the u. S. Election thats less than 2 weeks away it says the both countries have obtained data on Voter Registration iran is accused of sending fake emails to voters to intimidate them mike hanna reports from washington. These are members of a far right wing Group Calling itself the proud boys according to the f. B. I. Agents are planting emails to Democratic Party voters purporting to come from the proud boys with the intention of creating social unrest through there and we have already seen iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters incite social unrest and damage President Trump. Recently when asked to condemn the proud boys President Trump instead asked them to stand back and stand by both the director of National Intelligence and the f. B. I. Head been accused of attempting to downplay russian interference allegedly in accordance with the president s wishes but russia was also named 1st we have confirmed that some Voter Registration information has been obtained by iran and separately by russia this data can be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope. Caused confusion so chaos and undermined your confidence in american democracy barack obama had been warned of russian interference in the months leading to the 2016 election won by President Trump but the only thing apparently on his mind on this day was to catapult his former Vice President to victory physically campaigning for the 1st time a bomber displayed the charm that made him a 2 term president and you know my very good. I have to say because of my business actually accentuates. Theres a couple things that. Theyre really looking for. But a full throated attack on President Trump he hasnt shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends were treating the presidency like a reality show that he could use to get attach it was no coincidence that obamas 1st appearance in the Campaign Came in the capital of pennsylvania barack obama took pennsylvania in 200820128 was flipped by donald trump in 2016 the state has a high proportion of African American voters and joe biden and his Campaign Managers have identified pennsylvania as the single most important state to win if he is to make his way to the white house donald trump continued on his campaign trail apparently not pausing to prepare for the final debate with joe biden that will be taking place on thursday my kind of aljazeera washington. Serious dollars jabari the iranian reaction dorsett came through its u. N. Mission did they say. Yes the spokesperson for irans mission of the United Nations tweeted this that this is dangerous and malicious accusations against iran and that iran has absolutely no interest in whoever wins the u. S. Elections and that iran doesnt interfere with other countrys elections in their pro electoral processes this is a sentiment thats also been shared by president Hassan Rouhani prior to these accusations during his weekly Cabinet Meeting on wednesday the president said that iran has absolutely no interest in who becomes the next president of the United States because regardless of whoever that is they will have to kneel to the reigning nation this kind of rhetoric has been coming through the past few days because iran has been successful in getting what it wanted one of the things they wanted out of the nuclear deal of 2015 and that is the lifting of the United Nations Security Council arms embargo which was lifted on sunday this week of the spite a lot of opposition from the United States and that that is the official position of the iranian governments but when we speak to analysts than a lot of people in the capital they believe that a biden presidency would of course be one that would be more favorable to iran and the this administration there on the administration would be more open to the idea of dialogue with biden presidency despite the fact that they believe any kind of a change in the white house doesnt really mean a change in policy towards iran but that the rhetoric that President Trump has been using on the sanctions that hes imposed on iran since he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2013 and imposed a series of sanctions on iran that kind of behavior could change possibly with a biden presidency and so that is why this country is watching what is happening in the United States very closely and the results will undoubtedly have ramifications in iran i was there is still such a very live for us there many thanks. And i asked reich in afghanistan has killed at least 12 children it happened near a mosque in the city of telecom it appears that the air strike was called to counter a large taliban advance in the area its not yet clear if us will Afghan Government forces are responsible for the bombing france is the 2nd European Union country to have more than a 1000000 confirmed corona virus infections pandemic has claimed the lives of 34000 people that night time curfews were imposed in paris they tell the large cities on saturday and hospital intensive care wards in the capital and daily for spain exceeded 1000000 infections just hours earlier the government which is accused of mishandling the crisis faces a no confidence vote in parliament but is expected to survive Spains Health minister says that more drastic measures are needed to contain the outbreak which he admits is not under control and hes not alone. On the part of them with higher fines perhaps an exhaustive control of the positive cases or more strict follow up because what they are doing now is not very good enough to probably what is making people infect others well yes some were less responsible we like to party go out and gather with family or more close people and we havent realised the only way to avoid this going worse is social distancing simple things like not gathering with many people and wearing the mask even if you meet friends. Germanys daily infection count has risen above 10000 for the 1st time thats well above the numbers seen during the 1st wave in march but testing has increased significantly. The African Union says that it strongly condemns any use of violence against protesters in nigeria demonstrators defied curfews in lagos and some other states on whether the stage to hold more protests against Police Brutality fires were set across lagos witnesses reported gunfire Honesty International says that at least 12 people were killed on tuesday night but the government denies that thailands Prime Minister has cancelled an emergency decree banning protests tens of thousands of demonstrators mostly ignored the ban for more than a week they say theyll continue to demand the Prime Ministers resignation and reforms to the monarchy its called highly reports from bangkok. Every single day since that decree was put into place there have been protests on wednesday evening last night the Prime Minister in a taped address televised address he said that he would consider withdrawing that emergency decree that is just for bangkok and he said he consider withdrawing that if the protests were violent if it remained peaceful and it did last night there was another protest and outside the Government House where they actually presented a resignation a draft Resignation Letter to. The Prime Minister because one of the demands for these protesters is that he resigned so they presented that to him and then the same morning we heard the word that it would be lifted and that happened just 2 hours ago now what it did is it banned gatherings for more people could not gather together and it also gave the Police Authority to shut down the metropolitan Public Transportation system here as well as detain and arrest people and we saw the at least 80 arrests over that week but that has been lifted so i guess the way you can look at it is its a deescalation but again what the original ban was supposed to be for it really wasnt doing it but whats interesting when you look at why these people are coming out on the streets they want change but there also is part of the population here they want to remain the same. See it all with say leap started speaking out against the government 6 years ago. Thats when the current Prime Minister. Led a coup that ousted the democratically elected government hes now working with the protesters who have been coming out to thailand streets by the 10s of thousands the demonstrations started in july and ramped up last week with the gathering every day whats different now from 6 years ago a call for reform of the model. The. Last half state in the Royal Institution condy night that if we dont talk about and want to keep openly people would cost about eventually the want to and the senate who have 2 choices if they use firelands like they did in the past on. And preserve the status unwavering in his mission to bring about reform and change he says he was attacked last year for being outspoken beaten so badly he spent 2 weeks in hospital but hes not stopping. And im proud to be reluctant to tell the world that i am tie we have been taught to obey and not question authority i thought it was blinded in the past i and the thousands across the country are working to put that past behind the scenes like this are grabbing attention across thailand and across the world expressing the desire for monarchy reform something unthinkable even just earlier this year but there is an opposing view and its not just limited to Government House or the palace. Wearing yellow showing their allegiance to the monarchy those who support the king have also held rallies over the last few months theyve been much smaller but some supporters say that could change while the wrong dead kid was a member of parliament with the largest conservative party but lost his seat in last years election to a program for party candidate. I think there are more people who disagree with the current protests on the streets but we must be patient i believe that we will see more movement from those who want to protect the monarchy but it will be peaceful but that i think the voice of the younger people in the students are a minority. Regardless of the actual numbers on either side of the issue theres no dispute that the voices are getting louder of those who want change and to shake up thailands long established power structure its got harder aljazeera thank god.

The leader of the Roman Catholic church has spoken in support of same sex civil unions pope francis made the comments in a documentary but were not an endorsement of gay marriage under chappelle reports. Coming out. About an hour into a new documentary film about the leader of the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis appears to go off the official script explicitly calling for same sex couples to be given Legal Protections because he says all children of god have a right to a family. The statement of support for civil unions is a major departure from official Church Teachings and from the views of his predecessor benedict the 16th who called homosexuality an intrinsic moral evil i think it will be received in very different ways in Different Countries accept. Finally something that has happened finally most European Countries it will be received in a very difficult way in the United States its an open question how do you see churches in africa asia because he told the pen Strong National interest nations on same sex marriages that vary widely you need. To mine in time where so many people are divided about the worlds problems and who is causing them pope francis appears determined to take the church out of the culture wars and away from divisive social issues but for some in his native argentina the move doesnt go far enough. This recognition from pope francis that all couples are also families that gays lesbians bisexuals and trans people have rights to form a family were taking a step forward especially for people of faith but we nice is that we have to recognize the rights of civil union thats where we say its progress but not so much. This is a man who has opened his heart to the progress takes time in a church that so old for many this message of togetherness and inclusive 80 is just what the times require.
