War in yemen is taking on children u. N. Says tens of thousands are suffering acute malnutrition and the risk of death is high. Im going to ask over the sport as paralympics printhead breaking his appeal to use prosthetic legs to try to qualify for the pics but he plans to fight the decision which he believes is based on the basis well. So then with exactly a week to go now before the u. S. Election theres been a surge in early voting in part due to and in spite of the coronavirus pandemic more than 63000000 americans had voted by monday night already 4000000 more than all the early votes cast in 2016 and National Polls are giving democratic contender joe biden a solid lead although its a lot tighter in some battleground states with a coronavirus pandemic continues to cast a shadow over proceedings infections surging with some states concerned about the lack of hospital beds and nearly half a 1000000 cases have been confirmed in the past week alone with more than 225000 deaths since the pandemic began stock markets in the u. S. Saw their biggest one day drop in a month as concerns grow that failure to contain the outbreak will hurt the economic recovery or rescue package remains held up in congress with democrats republicans yes. Deadlocked over the details lets go straight away to convey how could he joins us live from washington d. C. And so you can really there we have its one week to go in the polling suggests things not looking good for donald from. 7 days and counting to november 3rd a official election day in the United States and youre right those polls not looking good for donald trump what we see here that is different from 2016 is by now the polls in terms of the gap even though Hillary Clinton had a lead back in 2016 that gap was narrowing and that is not what were seeing this time around in 2020 joe biden a solid double digit lead in the National Polls and in those battleground states well it is tighter biden is still leading so what we know is that donald trump will be heading to one of those battleground states the u. S. State of michigan he is set to leave the white house shortly hell also be traveling to wisconsin and nebraska for joe biden he is traveling to the u. S. State of georgia and why is that notable well it signals a little bit of vulnerability on the part of the Biden Campaign the fact that there is a heavy africanamerican population in georgia it signals that donald trump has been making some gains particularly with africanamerican men and as a result that is somewhere that the Biden Campaign feels that it needs to target but again that number that you mentioned off the top nick that 63000000 and counting in terms of early voting its important to note that is more voters than voted for donald trump in 2016 so that is a concern because the early voting according to most to adolescent the United States seems to favor joe biden right yeah interesting so what about the trauma strategy a flowing around all over the place blitzing companies are going to keep doing that right up to the war. Yeah absolutely and weve been told by the campaign that it may even by this weekend he may be hitting 5 different locations in a single day so what we expect the said ministration to do particularly today or rather the campaign is to focus on a bit of a victory that it scored last evening and that is the confirmation vote for the Supreme Court of any kone barrett it cant be underscored that this is a major promise kept by donald trump on the campaign trail in 2016 its notable he now has appointed one 3rd of the courts leaving it decidedly more conservative this is something that his base wanted and he delivered big time now donald trump is counting on those very same supporters to show up at the polls in the next 7 days in fact donald trump still trying to keep optimism among his supporters he just tweeted that they should not look at the polls the only poll that they should look at what we always say is the what im voting day but also one that shows that he is leading he believes this is translating into voter enthusiasm as we hit this final stretch yep its the final countdown kimberly we will be talking move the show thanks a lot. Well the u. S. President s victory 4 years ago was partly due to the upset in the usually Democratic State of michigan to be reelected those choose they dont trouble need to win in the states knowledge of counties such as mccomb in the suburbs of detroit some of the voters that have been explaining to aljazeera is john 100 which issues are on their mind. Mccomb county in suburban detroit is auto country its also home to the reagan democrats who switched parties in 1980 to vote for Ronald Reagan and after voting twice for barack obama it switched again in 2016 devote republican donald trump. Mccomb county which sits between 2 great lakes lake huron in lake erie is scenic patriotic middle class and overwhelmingly white in the last election trump resonated here and 2016 pledged he would not cut Medicare Medicaid or Social Security very different from other republican candidates and i think that combined with a lot of his appeals to white identity politics really i think really appealed to a lot of people in mccomb county. Trump inspires tributes on land and water and a rare devotion among supporters to the greatest president weve ever had in my lifetime he has made so many promises and hes kept more promises that hes made which has never happened ever as i believe in all his policies hes gotten the job done so far hes prolife hes everything i believe in. The 2020 election will test whether hes still popular here despite the coronavirus and an economic collapse has democrat joe bidens Campaign Workers canvassed the county early drained out our camera for more he leads trump handily in recent polls whats changed is this mask the epidemic here and has been very difficult we have lost over a 1000 people to call that the president doesnt have a plan doesnt pretend to have one he wants more people to die joe biden will have a plan that will fix this code so that we can try and get back to normal wife. What has also changed is a growing political conflict within the state. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer as aggressive Pandemic Response led armed protesters to force their way into the state capital and it led to the arrest of 13 militia members who allegedly planned to kidnap or and trump has been fanning the flames you got to get your governor to open up your state. For donald trump to win again in 2020 he will almost certainly have to win michigan and to do that he will likely have to win right here john hendren jazeera mccomb county michigan. Will have another part of done hundreds reports in part 3 all series will be turning to some of the best battleground states in americas midwest john 100 reporting from ohio very much a swing state finding out what matters to voters right now and thats on wednesday an officer. No the chairman of the African Union is calling for Peaceful Elections to be held in towns in areas that prepares to hold president ial and parliamentary elections with the semi autonomous islands of zanzibar the leader of the Main Opposition Party has been arrested and 5 people who took part in protests were reportedly shot by Police Police fired tear gas and live ammunition at the demonstrators who said the ballot papers had been premarked ahead of the vote lets join Catherine Sawyer whose life was in nairobi so katherine youve been following events so whats the latest. Well lets start with zanzibar town and thats arrest of the main Opposition Leader the president ial candidate of a. C. T one of the lendell. Fave sharif amid who was arrested this morning at a polling station today is our early voting advance voting for special groups like Security ForcesElection Officials people with this disability and so one so when police were arresting safe they said that he had no business being in a polling station this is that he is not a special group so hes still on the police cassidy but hes a lawyer has been allowed to see him. Safe is a very to better and politician very influential who has been in this game for decades and if you remember in 2015 during the president ial election he claimed victory. Paul was annoyed this election was annoyed by the Zanzibar Electoral Commission and save himself refused to participate in the repeat election and this time he has been telling his supporters not to accept a stolen vote he said that hell call for mass action if theyre an election is really didnt already were seeing some of the supporters on the streets this morning protesters took to the streets lighting tires blocked. Can roads throwing stones a saying that they see that this process is already not transpire and they say they want a credible election so theres a lot of tension in zanzibar and the island of bamber as well where another incident happened yesterday that you mentioned in the intro where police fired tear gas and live ammunition on protest is according to the opposition a several people were killed also seen a statement by the Inspector General of the Tanzanian Police force saying that the situation in both islands contained and the police have arrested 42 people. It is slightly complicated is that was in zanzibar residents of the islands leaders including the election of zanzibar the president and as well as in times in is not. And whatever across tons of it everybody wants a free and Fair Election will they get it. Well it depends on who you speak to right now in the mainland we are just waiting for president muggle food to. You know address a president ial hes giving a president ial speech at a convention as we speak so were waiting to hear what hes going to say throughout the campaign hes been saying that these elections should be peaceful tanzanians should protect the peace hes been saying its going to be free and fair of course the Electoral Commission is going to say the same thing but if you look at the opposition already Opposition Leaders are saying that they did not believe that this election is going to be free fair or credible the main opposition candidate to least some direct hes having his final rally there but over and over he has said and he speaks hes spoken to aljazeera directly and say to us in a previous interview that he does not believe that the election is not credible and he has aust hes people hes supporters to come out to the streets to protest in mass protests if hes election ease stolen he believes that hes going to win if the election is free and fair weve also spoken to human rights organizations who are quite concerned about the human rights record a lot of people are a lot of them including Opposition Leaders accusing you of being dictatorial accusing his government in the months leading up to the election of tailing freedoms of the media freedoms of this speech as well so theyre saying all of this a signs that the election is going to be credible so really there are tense times elections in the past in tanzania have been violent people are afraid that even the opposition rejects the results then we might end up seeing a violent clash with the ruling party. Voting coming up tomorrow wednesday cut through story following or going events in times square thanks will.

It started off with social Media Chatter for the last several days are going people to go in the street and protest theres been hash tag out bring people to boycott french products so today there was a large gathering in the largest mosque in the capital city by crown with tens of thousands mostly on the Islamic Party banner unity of islam these people gathered here to protest and they wanted to go in front of the French Embassy but in the city intersection they were blocked by the police so they couldnt go since then it was dispersed theres been protests in the dark a University Campus yesterday and the social media has been very active just to give you an context i mean these are not just islamic parties already people who are protesting the Common People there saying well if. France has a double standard put people in social media in a stand saying that france and other countries put freedom of expression as a defense but when it comes to groups like jewish groups on the holocaust and things like that are not you are not able to criticize of thing it should be the same for islam because he is the most revered person one over 1000000000 people and it is a blast maybe to carry culture or to even depict him in any form now this movement probably will continue because there is a lot of chatter in the social media arguing for more protest in the streets. Well lets get more on the wider reaction with Mohammed Vall here in the. Palestinian israeli protest against fast outside the french ambassadors residence in tel aviv 6. Its a part of a wave of anger off the french president Manuel Mccraw refused to and also controversial cartoons depicting islams prophet mohammed earlier this month french teach us on your part he was beheaded by at such an attack after he showed his students the caricatures during a class on freedom of expression muslims consider it a blasphemy to show any depiction of the prophet french officials insist its an act of freedom of speech. The idea of serious war stricken city over it protest has made theyll voice had. In dakar the capital of bangladesh they described mccrone as an enemy of peace but i am going to get the money if you have no idea about the strains of muslims if we rise you will see that so be careful i am a member of the bundle of the ship protesters held up signs with words from turkish president there is a plate of the one who has said president needs a Mental Health test file so he called it some boss of the to take in protest accusing him of even failing to condemn the meadow of summit pot on monday the tech usually does spokes matter sponsored by strongly condemning what he called the most famous medal of pot but the president has thrown his weight behind the Boycott Campaign should be banned im now telling my nation just as the saying in france not to buy anything from turkish brands i call on my nation here now do not Pay Attention to french labeled goods do not buy them. Commercial businesses in our countries including kuwait morrocco are do you have palestine and jordan have taken measures to boycott french products and we are which is leading retailer with more than 40 supermarkets across the country has been the 1st to decide a total withdrawal of french products they say it is a voluntary decision but it reflects the collective desire of its customers. About 50 french brands have been removed from the shelves include food items perfumes daily hygiene and Beauty Products have a mark of in me about i commend this decision by a mirror and i hope that other Companies Follow its example but this is the strongest weapon we have right now. At this Shopping Mall in jordan reads in solidarity with Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him or french products are boycotting supporters of the boycott hope it will produce results. Its a statement of our position and im sure it will reach the french officials and will certainly make a difference france has criticised the boycott and asked for it to be stopped but president insists his country will never give in to pressure of any kind and will continue to fight what you called islamic separatism. Dizzier. Now the sudan ethiopia and egypt are expected to resume negotiations over a controversial dam project on the river nile after a 3 month suspension the statement from egypts president bill photo c c so that egypt and sudan had affirmed to reach a binding and legal agreement at the African Union mediated talks follow the us president s warning that the project could spark military action from egypt. Has accused donald trump of inciting war after he said that egypt might blow up the dam. Well ethiopia built the grand renascence dam on the blue nile which is the source of most of the new house water is egypt and sudan downstream depend heavily on it and fear their Water Supplies could be put at risk if he says the hydro power dam will produce is essential for its Economic Growth the 4600000000. 00 project has caused nearly a decade of tensions between all 3 countries if you appear denies egypts and sudans claim that its dam will control the flow of africas longest river and aims to provide electricity for 70 percent of its population both current khartoum fear this will restrict the only source of water they rely on for nearly 150000000 people the main disagreement is the time that it will take to fill the dams reservoirs which will affect the flow of water downstream if he appears says it will take 5 to 7 years to complete but egypt has proposed 12 years instead and while egypt and sudan want a final agreement to be legally binding and to refer future disputes to 3rd Party Arbitration if you prefer to settle through negotiations among the 3 countries so a lot of issues at stake i low is a senior lecturer in law at kill university in the u. K. Joins us now from london welcome to the program so its been at an intractable problem for a long time now what is it one sees top was not resume whats it going to take to find resolutions you think wheres it going to come from. I think the video neutral interrogation by the u. S. President said should be calling on egypt to blow up a very Important National project in. A Country House to go to be to the commotion so the president is also a logical who is also the chairperson of the African Union announced that that exemption all talks is off today the parties are talking but really the question of whether or not the sea countries in particular if you have been and if you 2 would agree the kind of call outstanding issues. Can see again in a way that it is this to parties negotiate in good faith in a spate of cooperation and the brotherhood. Issues that are in dispute between the 2 countries that issue that of significant importance to bos both countries time anybody in the primary one is the flow of water and the rate at which the dam is filled. That is one outstanding issue but that is not the only egypt has already fields according to it is scared of schedule the initial stage really being done without any reduction to the full water but there are also other issues such as for example the nature of the agreement between countries egypt is hesitant to enter into a binding it meant that is had since for example to have a dispute resolution mechanism that is international it once for example and off they can it be a disputed region mechanism it gives once the parliament or 2 percent asian to sort of. A sense in that in the event of a dispute between the ok so ok are we hopeful that this time because they failed to find of the reason to agree in the past and we hopeful that this time they can find a reason to agree. It is pretty difficult to see how the kind of dangerously responsible intervention by the United States would really help any of these countries to to move forward but i think you know in the final analysis it is both in the interest of ethiopia and egypt to reach a deal that works in the interest of hold the parties i think the United States could have played a much more constructive role by providing assurances and gotten through to pauls country said the argument they reached would be a powder and the United States would support but the way in which the president of the United States question at the end the way in which they have acted as a mediator short of very clearly that the u. S. Wants intervening on the part to look a gift which i think im going to the chip inside so i think of the African Union pulled its weight behind this negotiation and the 2 countries now find a good reason to agree it is likely that they would agree but still they got please i think huge ok all right great to get your perspective dupree said that thats our losin electorate kill university in the u. K. Thanks a lot.

That wall street used to be lead to rome and now maybe that lead to hong kong and shanghai. Ok and so bad after listing out would be worth about what is it 310000000000. 00 much more than some global banks. Exactly i think you know thats probably a market they want to achieve even though theyre at pains to say theyre not a bank they like to see banks that regulate very different way than Technology Companies but the reality is it looks like a bank walk like a bank it has a lot of similarities in terms of making loans receiving deposits having payments but many more new products actually its really an innovation engine for the future of find its transformed to personal finance and it is the way they operate something that were likely to see spread across the world something that were all going to be you know its actually well you know its very much focused on not only young users but young users love it because it sort of game of fight theres lots of games you can play madden in your bank having a gaming application but also its accessible to all and declare investment you know helping chinese consumers diversify away from the traditional that money in the you know the boring bank and by proxy this is introducing them to a whole new range of Financial Products to what degree is chinas trade war with the United States a threat to the progress of an.

Yeah i mean its interesting because you know china actually is more innovative than you would think that the government is taking more risks than we see in the west partly because they know they have to make changes theyve been trying to deregulate and get things going to allow people to save last and spend more and buy the products and you know they they have state owned banks that really control the Financial Sector and theyre allowing technology to kind of push reform where policy and so they are more innovative that and often we give given credit so you know that this balancing act between the private sector and the Public Sector is very interesting and.
