Disputed. Thailands government lifts emergency measures that failed to curb major protests in bangkok. How much not have all the sport european champions by munich kicked off their Champions League title defense in emphatic fasten. Fashion athletic and i did 4 nil at home. And were going to begin with a coronavirus pandemic with countries across europe grappling with a rise in cold with 19 infections in some places governments have had little choice but to shut down entire cities to contain the virus on thursday france became the 2nd country in the European Union to record more than a 1000000 infections paris and 8 other large cities have been subjected to nighttime curfews and saturday that follows spain which became the 1st in the to exceed a 1000000 cases the Health Minister says he expects life is going to be tough for the next 5 to 6 months meanwhile germanys reported a daily record hike in infections on thursday thats after the Health Minister qian spahn tested positive for corona virus new restrictions are in place in the Czech Republic after record of nearly 15000 cases in one day on thursday all shops except supermarkets and pharmacies were ordered to close the halls joining us live from the european Broadcast Center in london jonah were talking about a significant rise in many countries across europe. And not only big rises but lots of governments now beginning to say this thing is out of control the 2nd wave now racing across europe and a lot of countries having to grapple with the sense that whatever they did in the spring that might have worked then was then followed by a summer in which restrictions were widely lifted across the continent and perhaps people are being lulled into a so the sense of false security which is being absolutely shattered now and of course theres the economy of it all to think about countries have now got to think about what sort of restrictions are put in place now theres a deeper luptons to go back to the sort of measures that were in place earlier in the year because of the sheer cost of them to lots of countries in instituting ranges of measures that they hope will help but short of a full lockdown possibly wont the Czech Republic you mention theyre one of the worst affected countries in europe has in fact gone back to the massive restrictions that we place in the spring that something the government had told the country repeatedly would never happen but the Health Ministry there reporting that the health of the Health Service infrastructure is on the brink of collapse possibly within the next fortnight so they feel they have no choice more restrictions coming in in poland restrictions being discussed further restrictions in spain as you say that became the 1st e. U. Country to hit a 1000000 infections on wednesday almost immediately followed by france and Public Officials succumbing as well not just the Health Minister in germany a country that had done so well with all of this earlier in the year it also struggling now the Health Minister there himself has tested positive but in belgium and weve had dire warnings out of belgium this week about the pandemic raging out of control the deputy Prime Minister vilmas there at its just been reported has gone into i c u. Lets talk about the u. K. Because of course you were there for us and the u. K. Is feeling the pain as well not just the pressure on the Health Service but on the economy as well oh yeah well the u. K. Is a perfect example of the sort of thing that lots of countries are dealing with although statistically rather worse here than most the chancellor of the tsunami is within this hour in fact about to unveil yet another raft of Financial Support measures his 3rd intervention in just a month aimed this mainly at hospitality workers and businesses in accommodation and food with the latest figures coming out here suggesting that 17 percent of businesses in accommodation and food have reported that they are on the brink of imminent insolvency so the chancellors about to unveil these new measures very welcome no doubt but i wateringly expensive adding hundreds of millions this to debt public debt spiraling to its highest level is a ratio of g. D. P. In 50 years 246000000000 pounds to 300000000000. 00 the deficit at the moment far greater than anything we saw here during the financial crisis in 2008 all the big recession of the ninetys and that bodes extremely unwell for the years to come past the end of the crisis and into the sort of restructuring and rebuilding ahead jonah thanks very much thats done a whole life for us in london and South African government is warning of a severe increase in covert 1000. 00 cases thats after one of its largest cities cape town reported a 42 percent rise over the last 2 weeks of family members joining us live from johannesburg just talk us through whats behind these figures from the. Well south africa until this point has adopted what its called a risk adjusted strategy and at the height of the pandemic around june july and august so there fricker was between level 5 level 4 and 3 in the strategy and now has moved down to level one which is the the the easiest or the most lenient level in the strategy now most social events are allowed theyve increased the number of people that can visit restaurants bars that can attend the funerals and this is the concern from the government that because of the pandemic has now been around for so long people are increasingly complacent theyre not Wearing Masks properly theyre not at hearing to social distancing and the major concern i think for the government at this point are these social events specifically nightclubs and bars you mentioned that in cape town there was a 42 percent increase in the last couple of weeks and one of the concerns they is any of bar in cape town that is considered a so a super spread away at least 80 people were infected there we saw something similar in the eastern cape where students went affected university and so the Health Ministers really in kizzy is saying that complacency at the easing of restrictions is leading to what could in ever to be a 2nd surge and this is what the leading expert in south africa is saying around the pandemic and what south africa potentially could face Going Forward into provincial travel has been allowed for several weeks now there is increasing movement of people throughout the country and south africa is now going into its summer months and usually around this time there is increased travel people go on holiday theres almost a complete shut down around south africa as people go on holiday go back to their homes in different provinces and some talk does indicate that the government could. Possibly consider stopping this type of travel because theyre concerned about the 2nd search so essentially theyve east restrictions but at the same time this is leading to an increase in numbers and so the government is likely to have to grapple with decisions in the next in the coming weeks around what happens next to try and stop the 2nd wave of a miller bringing us up to date from johannesburg. 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 both countries have obtained data on Voter Registration iran is accused of sending fake emails to voters to intimidate them my kind of reports from washington d. C. These are members of a far right wing Group Calling itself the proud boys according to the f. B. I. Iranian agents are planting the 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 of repeatedly 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 ive 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 will cause confusion so chaos and undermine 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 that because of my business actually accentuates. Theres a couple things that. Really look like i could just take up at any time 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 the bombers 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. Live for us from how is reacting to this story. Well the iranians are of course very very adamant theyre rejecting all these accusations and the foreign minister has actually summoned the swiss ambassador in the capital to to the Foreign Ministry so they can express their disappointment and objection to these allegations made by the United States officials the Foreign Ministry spokesperson issued a statement just a short while ago in which she said that it is the United States that has a history of sowing discontent and interfering in other countries elections that is not something iran ever has done and they dont intend to start now he said these allegations are baseless and dangerous and they absolutely reject all these insinuations that iran has any interest in what happens in the United States elections now that is the official position within the government but as analysts that weve been speaking to over the past few weeks have pointed out it will make a difference with who wins the u. S. Elections in terms of what happens in iran in the coming months and years that is because the United States has withdrew from that nuclear deal in 2018 the President Trumpet said that it is not a good deal for them and they he read stated a number of sanctions on iran this is why the iranians have said that it doesnt matter who comes into power it is their policy towards iran that is more important having said that many analysts believe that if it is to be a Biden Administration things will be very very different between the 2 countries but if President Trump is reelected after the assassination of passive solar money in january we very unlikely that iranians would have any hope of a neat dialogue or trying to renegotiate a nuclear deal with the United States which means the countrys Economic Future would continue to spiral downwards as a result of the pressure that theyre under the door so thanks very much indeed those dorsett about a lot of fronts into iran well as we mentioned the f. B. I. Has accused iran and russia of having u. S. Voter information. But unlike a run how russia is accused of using that data wasnt clear that minnesotan cultures and International Affairs analyst is joining us now from moscow thank you very much indeed for being with us why do you think that the f. B. I. Placed such an emphasis on iran but so little emphasis on russia well i think that 1st of all we must say we. Have seen a lot through the notion that this is the preelection contain right now and just an on there are just. Coming elections less than 3 weeks and i think that the the f. B. I. Actually these rules say that the the the the me allegations and even representation that russia is meddling you remember that back and forth yes and then 2016 there was a way also a leg agent that russia was our meddling with their. Negotiations and elections and between the candidates begin Democratic Party candidates and the republican Party Candidates and also there were allegations from the u. S. Side that russia is an actual maddening i think that the best of all that is the Election Campaign which is now on the verge of the michigan and secondly that is that if. We know that there is a crisis in seoul a crisis right now in the United States demonstrations that strikes now so are the United States would like to try and then that any and external enemy to explain why the United States government couldnt help with this crisis. But it is significant isnt it as that russia was identified by the Security Forces in the United States as having played at least some significant role in the election in 2161. 00 would expect russia or indeed any other country that considered it viable to take some sort of action even if just to say that to see if it could this is publicly a public publicly available information that is available to anybody who wants to buy it it seems understandable but russia given its track record would probably want to do the same thing again. While actually you know i think that. Despite the sad that it is a public it public the rebel information that russia would like to try it again i mean i mean this is just the location of. Russian president Vladimir Putin has. Despite grow whatever he can that it will be that rather the next president the United States russia would deal would deal with the. United states but during the. Bilateral relations between russia and the United States i think that these Public Information is its course actually and i think that russia has no any interest like iran by the way nor any interest in that link or interfering into internal minister netted state is it not feasible though that even if it were not the case that russia was intentionally meddling in terms of trying to push one candidate over another that if it was able to at least intimate that it had the capability of interfering in the election process and therefore sold over the election process itself that that was something that russia along with any other government to fight might feel the need to do it would take action on. Well how could you imagine actually that russia is so. Despite the always so they gave russia could physically of lets say using the socalled hack us computer hackers would interfere would be meddling with their United States election process at the basis i think this is just impossible because. On the other side on the other side if the United States would like to incipience the russians on those then its all they could probably be succeeding that they got but you see that not all these exact prices in the going to cause of the. Emerging crisis in the doorway and there are accusations of that its like that and i think thats happened well its all called and there are some who do actually incipient this guy and i think that the main reason actually thats all the sun the geisha and. Against the russia is that russia is becoming very rapidly becoming a global extra in the in Global Affairs and the right of states doesnt want the russia to be a global actor again in the global scene not a political irene not so thats why thats why i always like a chance actually take place right now before the elections and i can say that in a sudden free appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera. Plenty more ahead on the news hour including a murdered teacher is awarded frances highest honor as the president hails him. To their 1st chaotic encounter what will change for the final debate between donald trump and joe biden. In Manchester United are feeling the financial pinch well explain why in sports. The Afghan Military has confirmed it was responsible for an airstrike this reported to have killed 12 children it happened near a mosque in the city of taloqan the military says its not clear if the strike accidentally killed civilians it was called to counter a large taliban advance in the area for the consul 40 has the latest from kabul. Fighting between Government Forces and the taliban continues unabated across of ghana stan inflicting heavy losses not just on the 2 sides but also on innocent civilians in the province of tahara on wednesday night an airstrike hit a mosque where children were studying killing at least 12 of them and injuring 14 others but Governors Office on thursday confirmed that that airstrike was a mistake and one hitting the wrong place this is a war thats becoming more brutal and more senseless every day despite repeated calls by afghans and they International Community for a significant reduction in violence and even a ceasefire now winter will soon be setting in here in afghanistan and thats when fighting comes to a virtual hold to because of the harsh weather but if previous years are any indication fighting does spike before winter as both sides try to claim and control as much territory as they can but this year afghans had hoped that this would have been different as the peace talks in doha are still on even though theyre moving extremely slowly i was speaking with several afghans earlier and they all told me that they are very tired in fact they are exhausted all of all the pain that this war has been inflicting on them and they just wanted to end. The African Union says it strongly condemns any use of violence against protesters in nigeria demonstrators defied curfews in lagos and some states on wednesday to hold more protests against Police Brutality fires were set across lagos and witnesses reported gunfire Honesty International says at least 12 people were killed and tuesday night but the government is denying that lets go live to our middle ages in bruges talk to us 1st of all ahmed a about what the government is saying about all of this. Well the government has denied that the governor of lagos state in particular denied that there were any casualty except this morning he confirmed that one of the persons he visited in hospital you was talking about at least 25 died of his injuries he called it the injury called was Blunt Force Trauma which i was as a result of an object i used to hit the individual apart from that government has been calling for the Vice President pointed and also called the sympathizer of victims of the recent violence in lagos state and echo oysters also added its voice calling for calm and more peace at protests rallies being held across nigeria but overnight we also saw some violence or reported cases of violence in several parts of the country in a dose state a curfew effective today 48 curfew has been imposed by the government after a band of youths who the government called. Hoodlums tried destruct destroying infrastructure and other public and private properties in in delta state i apologize in lagos its of there was an incident of gunfire and violence around baghdad area last night and even this morning residents are talking about. Incidents in motion area of lagos state theyve had been reported cases of locos especially young people setting up roadblocks in lego set although some of them in fact set up by Security Forces however the general feeling or according to some of the reporters we talked to or journalists we spoke to in lagos state most of these barricades were erected by residents all gangs of youths in gauge in the cases of violence recently we saw in lagos state i what is bothering a lot of people is how suddenly these peaceful protests have been hijacked by individuals with a different agenda. People a lot of nigerias very many nigeria still believe that the end Science Movement has a legitimate demand has legitimate concerns and they want to see that these concerns or demands have been met by government government on the other hand hes saying that its trying all it can to meet all these demands various commissions of inquiry being set up by state governments what we of course the protesters would like to see the federal government itself take responsibility because most of the complaints are levelled against federal officers who have been taking part in these allegations of criminal. Activities in in the past decade or so so thats the situation in lagos state right now and additional states have also impost a curfews some fall some partial curfews in trouble spots but things are a bit calmer in a bluejay understandably or thought you see a border that is the local authorities the Federal Capital illustration is also holding a security meeting were not sure what they will decide is it an imposition of a curfew or more stringent measures security measures on the streets of a border thats what were hearing for now amid of course this is going to be creating a lot of tension amongst the regular people of of lagos as well because of course theyre not being course up themselves in the protests or in the violence but theyre having to live around it the city itself must be under a great deal of stress at the moment. Absolutely already Economic Activities in lagos state it have been grounded to a halt remember this is why you have nigerias most Busiest Airport the most of them have an International Airport you have the busiest or the biggest ports in the country while goods and services are coming in and exported out if these situation if this situation last long we are going to see a lot of economic damage not only to the economy of lagos state but also the economy of this country as a whole im a thanks very much indeed on a digital life for us from. All the protest movement in nigeria began over the no despondent police units the special anti robbery squad of sars as its known either he is one of the protesters under the banner hash tag and size hes joining us now from lagos and hes wearing a mask to protect his identity thank you very much indeed for being with us talk us through what you have seen enjoying the protests over the last few days i want to say i did you probably guess. What its all look i just lost it monday i mean. Everything go. On to tuesday when the government saying time us the 1st amount think of you by so by probably. You know by 4 years well with a good time to communicate with when we have pictures and everythings verified that it will be there with the military. Experience 7 h. We did that time frame on the station house which you kept our coups out of the ground without like that and thats not them drug thinking down now of what you know you want to put it in our case and then youve got a list for if i can tell you they bought it for them it got shot blood. And its a lot of people that arent. Thats not just being Something Like wait to get those numbers. And i wont point some of that because were drug into the marriage of bad thats what it we couldnt get up in the alley ambulances saying if i love my nieces car to get out. Into generals beats him it was in the chaos and was surprised why the sense of the military and what. Were. Lucky ground as it was is the ground 0 workers from were with them. So were surprised why movies constables you know theyre in. Any volunteer corps from the up and up from the location. Let me ask you are forgive me for interrupting but let me ask you when the attacks were apparently happening against the protesters when you were able to identify who it was that was carrying out those alleged attacks. The military has sought the uniform very well and the militarys the to the militia people who they came with the cockies because our 1st look at the question we talk to the Police Officers of the crossed over to our side and when the crossed over to our side the lights went off or we could see the flashes because of what gives hope forms a good way to people to listen a comment on this telling your fault out in front of lights. On the for mine well right behind them because he when i come back again and. Its a group of them you know you could walk from if you were a friend of mine she was right behind them calling them. And let me ask you out in the time of the lights and i realize you. I want to ask you about the comments and the movements that the president has been making are the protesters confident that by holding an investigation using pictures i believe from c. C. T. V. Cameras which are a stand simply still on lekki bridge are the protesters confident that the president and the government will take proper action to identify who it was that carried out these alleged sacks well im very confident but im also scared because the government is the one that is you want to buy. So was it was yes sure that theyre going to prosecute anybody because they get in and its more than the governor of the state so its huge numbers of them involved in this is a name that was not casual she is saying and all of the other said and quote from the government leaders the largest of all he said that the forces that attacked previously we have been watching him and then what i mean i knew it was going to what i mean. Which is on state do you think that the protesters given what appears to have happened will still come out to protest or do you think that people have been scared off. For a fact ill tell you and those. Who ultimately took us again because weve not been involved in which you know if the. Medium of the military to push your way and get some wrong message. The question was should graduate with just. Guessing or a message. Saying we cant come up with this. And why are you going to volunteer not just to impart your own body well it just so why are you doing that to us now so this is what this all is make make us from what it is what you dont know i heard you thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera.

The Afghan Military has confirmed it was responsible for an airstrike thats reported to have killed 12 children the military says its not clear if the strike accidentally killed civilians it was called to counter a large taliban advance. Thailands Prime Minister has canceled an emergency of the creed banning gatherings and protests tens of thousands of demonstrators mostly ignored the ban for more than a week they say they will press on with their demands for the Prime Ministers resignation and reforms to the monarchy and the kings finances scotto reports from bangkok. So you know which say leap started speaking out against the government 6 years ago. Thats when the current Prime Minister protests 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 a gathering every day whats different now from 6 years ago a call for reform of the monarch. Last essay in the Royal Institution condie 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 filings like they did in the past on change and Purcell Festivus 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 thai reluctant to tell the guy we have been taught to obey and not question authority i fear that we were blinded in the past and i am 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 water wrong dead kit 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 paying. I think the voice of the young 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 a shake up thailands long established power structure got harder aljazeera. Violence between Security Forces and protesters in guineas capital has left at least 9 people dead and it follows a tense president ial election between president and his main rival saloon. In the lead. Nicolas has more from neighboring senegal were going to have been protesting. Were just outside the Canadian Embassy and police have just fired tear gas to disperse an angry crowd. Living in senegal not angry against instead of the Security Forces but against their government after alpha conde the government and the Election Commission and now with the results or the partial results of the president ial election 4 regions were announced out of 38. 00 for according to Election Commission went to. Mr he wants to hold on to power thats not ok for 10 years weve been living difficult lives weve been suffering. This has sparked violence not just here in just an English Council where there is instead i got more than 3500000 syrians living here who by the way were not able to vote during this election but also in the capital when i was free where people were shot and killed among them a Police Officer that was lynched i can smell the tear gas coming our way such is the level of tension and violence thats happening in could actually because the Opposition Leader that angelo says that he has won the vote and therefore were going what seems to be towards a post electoral crisis the United Nations says that all actors should stay calm until the full results are made public. Turkey says its going to send troops to go in and cut a bike if theyre requested by us or by jon russia says any Turkish Military deployment will only make things worse sporadic fighting between the media and by jan has been going on for more than 3 weeks despite to cease fire deals with on a cutback is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but its being controlled by i think armenians and since 1904. Already chalons is live for us from doris in Southern India just talk us through what the latest military movements are at the moment. Well from the armenian side at least the update from this morning was the things in the last few hours overnight a stable but they are still tense the spokeswoman for the army the ministry of defense said that that had been clashes all along the front the northern sector the mid sector in the Southern Sector as well. She denied armenia had been launching missiles or even are going to karabakh into undisputed azerbaijani territory she said such accusations accusations from these areas was was cynical lies essentially i mean clearly there there have been difficult clashes going on. Across the battle fronts here and battles in which the armenians are losing a considerable number of men the update from the nagornokarabakh authorities for the recent death toll is that 62. 00 more armenians have died bringing the total killed in battle to 834 the president s of this republic of nagornokarabakh area kyra to me and has just come back from the front and he released a video address to his people basically saying that in order to win you have to believe belief has the greatest power and also echoing a call put out by a nickel passion year pressure on the armenian Prime Minister a day or so ago who is calling for more people to volunteer suffice now the new go to care about president said that i want you to fill fulfill your duty towards the homeland and if possible fulfill that duty in the front line. Rory thank you very much indeed thats rory chalons talking to us from going to in southern armenia ok lets take you back to that breaking story that i brought you earlier lebanese sunni leader. Is the new Prime Minister of lebanon has secured enough votes in the parliamentary consultations on this thursday to be designated as the next Prime Minister i want to bring in zain a calder whos joining us now on skype solitary it feels as though were essentially coming full circle and in the space of a year we were he was Prime Minister before and now lebanon is in a significant economic crisis and a political crisis as well and now hes back in charge. Yes see the former Prime Minister who has now been nominated the next Prime Minister of lebanon exactly a year ago in fact on october the 29th saddle hetty resigned to a Popular Uprising there were 3 protest people over this man things change people were demanding and leadership people really were calling for the toppling of the Political Class that was governing the country for decades that using them of corruption accusing them of running the economy into the ground so at the time the former Prime Minister said of how did he said that im going to listen to the people in the states and i will resign and he calls on his on the other politicians to do the same nobody did in fact a year later the street protests have fizzled out they havent been able to achieve their goal of the same Political Class is in power assad the heavy the is the leader of this in the community in lebanon on at least he holds the largest something block in parliament and in a country where the parian based system of government of course is the quote unquote natural countesses thats the way he described felt. But the question is this may seem like some sort of like a prick who to end levanon political impasse but this is just the beginning he is expected to find difficulties and face off the court as he tries to form a government the last government so we have to remember the last government resigned in august just a few days after that that was they think explosion that they were hordes of people against in the streets and they blame the officials in power for negligence that allowed. Nearly 3 tons of Ammonium Nitrate to be unsafe for it at the ports since then there hasnt been a functioning government now theres a new Prime Minister but the question is will he be able to form a government alone a lot of convincing to do. Because you have reported on those protests and the sir. Its in lebanon a year ago and as you say when just after the recent explosion as well those were big protests and saad hariri was part of the process that the people did not want to have and now he has to convince people that he is the right man for the job.
