N. Says tens of thousands are suffering acute malnutrition. Im joined again with the sport as paralympic sprinter blake leeper loses his appeal to her to use prosthetic legs to true qualify for the olympics but he plans to fight what he says of races decision. Thank you very much for joining us with exactly a week to go before the u. S. Election theres been a surge in early voting partly due to and despite the coronavirus pandemic more than 63000000 americans had voted by monday nights thats 4000000 more than all. 4 years ago National Polls are giving democratic contender joe biden a solid lead although its a not tighter in some battleground states but the coronavirus pandemic continues to overshadow the campaign infections a surging with some states concerned about the lack of hospital beds nearly half a 1000000 cases have been confirmed in the past week alone with more than 225000 deaths since a pandemic began stock markets in the u. S. So their biggest one day drop in a month as concern grows that failure to contain the outbreak will hurt the economy recovery or rescue package remains held up in congress with democrats and republicans deadlocked over the details lets go straight to our White House Correspondent kimberly homepage who is live for us from the White House Committee so one week to go exactly before election day the polls not looking good for donald trump but as we know from 2016 you cant always trust the polls. Thats true except that there are a couple of indicators that are not good news for donald trump number one in the early voting in those enormous numbers what were seeing is a trend of young people voting many who stayed home in 2016 or werent able to vote the last election and most of them seem to be leaning democratic so that is not good news for donald trump as well the fact is that in 2216 by now what we saw even though Hillary Clinton the rival then was in the lead the the gap between donald trump and his rival was closing and this time theres not a lot of movement in those poll numbers and those are worrying sides so donald trump is continuing to focus on those battleground states where donald trump is catching up a little bit but there is still that biden lead hes going travelling to michigan wisconsin nebraska but when it comes to joe biden he is also traveling to georgia an area where the travis made a little bit of game particularly with africanamerican men. So hes trying to counter that so what exactly is the Campaign Strategy would just 7 days to go what messaging are they pushing forward right now. To thing seize voting or rather sending the message to voters that he delivered on a Campaign Promise big time 3 appointments to the Supreme Court most recently last night with the confirmation of a. B. Kone barrett no president s done that since Ronald Reagan and that is something that his base was counting on so its a promise delivered the other big thing that he is continuing to push is a law and order message which did work with a lot of suburban women and so that is Something Else that were going to see in this final stretch but the bottom line for donald trump is what hes trying to do is make sure that enthusiasm among his supporters doesnt wane given the fact that there is this lead in the National Polls for his rival in fact donald trump tweeting today not to get discouraged that the only poll that really matters is what a lection day as we often say and so he says cystic that he has a lead of at least one poll and for his voters not to give up. Or say the white house. Or donald Trump Victory 4 years ago was partly due to the upset in the usually Democratic State of michigan to be reelected he will need to win in the states the launch of counties live to john hendren aint chicago now John Michigan and the midwest in general really important in this election does the president still have a hold on the midwest or have things change. Well if you drive through the rural areas of the great lakes states including michigan you see one trump sign after another theres great support for him in the rural areas and if you go to the cities there is great support for joe biden in between in the suburbs is really where things were decided last time around and there you see a mix polls suggest that suburban women are pulling away from donald trump but we went there to go find out and what we did was we went to Mccone County this is a suburban county its on Lake Sinclair between lake huron and erie and its a middle class town that was really full of auto workers in the past and and now youve got some Beautiful Homes on the water so basically its a microcosm of the u. S. And after voting for barack obama it boded for donald trump we wanted to see which way d they would go this time and we found some interesting things take a look. 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 in 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 so i am proud are there are 3 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 coded so that we can try and get back to normal life 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 Capitol and it led to the arrest of 13 militia members who allegedly planned to kidnap or in trump has been fanning the flames youve got to get your governor to open up your state. So that conflict in this state of michigan has grown so harsh that not only were those militia members planning to kidnap the governor they were going to put her on trial and the whole issue there was the way she has cracked down very aggressively on the coronavirus refusing to allow people to travel within this state having a mask mandate well President Trump has made that a big issue with his sort of lukewarm support for masks and social distancing hes targeted Governor Gretchen Whitmer and what that means is in that state people are either on one side or the other by and large but we have a new poll from the university of wisconsin at madison and that suggests that biden is widening his lead in these great lakes states so in michigan that poll showed biden ahead by 10 in wisconsin by 9 and in pennsylvania by 8 Percentage Points but there are people who talk about pollsters that is who talk about the possible shy voter some of them think that there are people who just dont respond to the polls and that that might give a long or 2 percentage point edge but if trump is going to win michigan hes probably going to. To win it in places like mcallen county thank you very much for that john hendren live in chicago and in part 3 of our series soaring some of the battleground states in americas midwest john reports from ohio very much a swing state in 2020 to find out what matters so voters there as coming up on wednesday right here on.

Secretaries of state and defense are in india seeking to boost military cooperation maicon pale and mock hesper have signed a deal with their indian counterparts to expand information sharing from military satellites the stop in india is one of a 5 day asia trip aimed at strengthening strategic ties to counter chinas influence. The challenge of defeating the pandemic that came from also fed into a robust discussions about the Chinese Communist party. Our leaders and our citizens see with increasing clarity that the c. C. P. Is no friend to democracy the rule of law transparency in order freedom of navigation the foundation of a free and open and prosperous indopacific im glad to say that the United States navy are taking steps to strengthen our cooperation against all manner of threats and not just those opposed by the Chinese Communist party and is a bit random has more from new delhi on the defense relationship between india and the us. This time around they managed to sign the 4th and final of whats called these foundational Foundation Defense Agreements between the 2 countries and this one which allows the sharing of high end when the Tree Technology maps and sash is one thats eluded previous u. S. Governments because the previous government in power and via the congress was reluctant to sign such an agreement they thought it would be giving up something of its strategic autonomy but the trumpet ministration is one thats very close to the b j p government here in india and they decided that to expedite the signing of this deal when President Trump wants india in february so this is very much a sin the defining of the defense relationship between the 2 countries of course its coming at a time when relations between india and its neighbor china have been at an almost all time low its something that secretary of state might pompei referred to in his address he referred to the killing of 20 indian soldiers in june the 1st death along that border in 45 years and he said that the u. S. Stands with the people of india really interesting both the u. S. Officials singled out china spoke about what they said but chinas increasing aggression destabilizing moves the Indian Officials didnt use such language they said things like that that asia had to be multipolar and that is not surprising given that talks between indian and chinese officials are ongoing to try to resolve that border standoff bangladesh is the ages muslim nation calling for a boycott of french products the growing protests followed french and french fries and a recent controversial comments on islam and it follows the beheading of a french teacher who showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in class michael has defended the caricature is and says you know tucker what he calls separatism in france chantry has more from bangladeshs capital dhaka. It started off with social Media Chatter for the last several days are going people to go in the street and protest theres been hashtag ill bring people to boycott french products so today there was a large gathering in the largest mosque in the capital city by the crown with tens of thousands mostly on the Islamic Party banner unity of the this 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 Dhaka 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 the ng 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 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. To africa now and the chairman of the African Union is calling for Peaceful Elections to be held in tanzania as he prepares to hold a president ial and parliamentary vote with the semiautonomous island of zanzibar as well the leader of the Main Opposition Party was arrested but has since been released and 5 people who took part in protests were reportedly shot dead by Police Police fired tear gas and live ammunition at demonstrators who said ballot papers had been pretty mox ahead of the vote as the bar is a group of islands off the coast of tanzania which holds semiautonomous status from the mainland residents there vote for a regional president as well as a national one tanzanias president john moghul fully has governed since 2015 and is seeking reelection his supporters say his clampdown on corruption but why schools say his weaponized along to stifle opposition is main challenger to unduly so is a fierce critic of the president he returned home in july after nearly 3 years in exile following a 2017 assassination attempt Rights Groups have also expressed concern about the elections being free and fair in both tanzania and zanzibar his government banned opposition parties from Holding Public rallies 4 years ago and theres been tight control of the media and zanzibar had 2050 new lection result an old over allegations they were raped or lets speak to david makali about this hes an observer of the times in the elections watch and is from Nairobi Kenya thank you so much for being with us david so in the run up to wednesdays vote in tanzania opposition parties had already complained of threats dozens of opposition voluntary and candidates were disqualified we have the main Opposition Leader in zanzibar rested and then released how much of a concern is all this to you do you think this will be an election that will be free and fair. Thank you there is no doubt that this election far from being free and free men every analysis. Without doubt has good issues with the Selection Process will of course the environmental the liberal or the good the playground is not liberal. Both in terms of the institutions which are governing or managing this election as well as the conduct of the security agencies in the run up to this election a lot over. The position have been constrained by the actions of the state through the police especially there is a been stalked movement of the main Opposition Leader to luis was been stopped a couple of times and this hour there is a lot of concern about the fairness of this election but more so the bigger question was the disqualification of a lot of the candidates that were participating in this election indeed from the opposition which has created a lot of fear that of course this election is not be fair and free this voting on by the semiautonomous silent as well theyre voting in a National Election but also at the local level and we know that van de bar has a history of Election Related Violence contested polls by the opposition in sand by also usually very very strong do you think the ruling party can succeed in taking control on the island. Well that of course is that is ahead of the ruling party and hes tried its best to control particularly has happened every election i mean in 2000 the election was extremely violent and a lot of people. We are hoping that this time tomorrow there will be less but very serious indications that they could be well its because the determination by the ruling party to take over the island to win the. Very strong opposition because actually thats where the opposition is strongest in this election in mainland tanzania the opposition the main candidate has asked his supporters to come out on the streets if there is violence if the vote is stolen he says if the opposition rejects the results do you think well see violence and also what recourse do they have to legally reject the vote if they dont agree with the results and do you think theyll be fair arbitration. Unfortunately that is the situation in this election unlike all countries in africa today where a little dispute sorted out by the Supreme Court ruled that you disagree that any level little or no one is is a bad situation because the verdict of the National Electoral commission is final. Whether legitimately also complains has no recourse and therefore that sets the stage for a very dicey probably the possibility the potential violence because people have nowhere to go once the little commission is declared the winner and it does not matter you know whether its fair or unfair. Will certainly be closely watching the situation in tanzania and thomas an advance by thank you so much David Mccurry for speaking to us about this thank you for your time. So and. Its been one month since fighting broke out between armenia and azerbaijan a 3rd humanitarian ceasefire came into effect on monday but its already in jeopardy the 2 sides have been fighting over a disputed territory of nagornokarabakh which is part of azerbaijan but controlled by Ethnic Armenians how dire dire need Hoda Abdelhamid reports are in azerbaijan. Its here to cemetery that one feels the human toll of this war this man has lost his best friend for them is a son husband and father who is gone and 1st had been a better more its a neighbor she saw grow up. I come here every day to pray for them they became artist for us there in the army to protect us there are villages we know them weve seen them and they died for us to stop the armenian occupation. This war has cost as airy lies but it also has seen the army take back territory from armenian control at least 65 civilians have been killed so far on this side of the conflict the number of soldiers who lost their lives on the battlefield is unknown but with each day that passes the number increases and with the anger among people here but theyre also proud of their army drones have given the years to azerbaijans military while taking a huge toll on armenian soldiers this injured armenian volunteer came to pay respect to his commander and the commander son both recently killed in a drone strike. Aftertreatment ill go back because we have to continue our commanders Unfinished Business we have to defend our borders we are not attacking now we are defending the whole world sees what is going on i mean is says about a 1000 soldiers have lost their lives so far hundreds of rounds are fired in this direction on a daily basis here in azerbaijan this city. Darter has become a focal point for me as fire power across the contact line similar scenes in a corner. But the war is also reaching those living outside of the conflict zone a love affair the amiriya live and his wife were for it she was a piece of shrapnel from around that landed nearby theyre both from an occupied area which as opposed john says its army is about to retake. Life was very good luck in spring was amazing the nature is beautiful we didnt need anything we grow our own food we were selfsufficient here life is very difficult i cant wait to go back but its impossible to live together anymore they stole our lives we cant believe them anymore. They have been 3 attempts to impose a humanitarian ceasefire all have been unsuccessful the war has become a matter of survival for media and for azerbaijan its about restoring a historical right good at that hamid aljazeera.

More on the coronavirus pandemic now and a new study by researchers in the u. K. Is dying hope such so called herd immunity took over 1000 can be achieved due to anti bodies having a short shelf life researchers from the Imperial College london from a number of people testing positive for antibodies us fallen by 26 percent since long don was eased over the summer the study hints that immunity appears to be fading and there is a risk of catching the virus multiple times Scientists Say herd immunity can only work if iran 50 to 60 percent of the population protection against the virus so it can no longer transit transmit efficiently when i speak to dr christina about this she is one of the authors of the reacts to study report and is via skype from london dr acheson thank you so much for being with us so your study found that immunity is fading and that theres a risk of catching the virus multiple time why is that and what does this mean for long term immunity from from govan 1000. Ok thank you well like i said this is one of like you said this is one of the largest Antibody Test the programs in the world. Over 365000 adults in england back in june we found the prevalence of detectable antibodies in the population of 6 percent when we went back in september on a different random sample we found that its a drop to 4. 4 percent like you said a 26 percent reduction so overall our findings do suggest a population level that probably has been a reduction in population immunity. Over the why do you think that is. Well as. A good question i mean from what we know about the seasonal Coronavirus Community is often short lived and therefore you would expect to see. Reinfection 6 to 12 months off with an it looking increasingly likely the curve at 19 coronavirus. Responds in a similar way it is important to note that the test that we use to test for antibody an antibody response is only one part of the immune response and that could be other components that continue to provide protection after antibodies way but it is too soon to know if fact is the case so at the moment. Are able findings to suggest that there is a reduction in population immunity over time from the people youve sampled dr h. Its an art a certain groups who have the virus that are still better protected better immunized and novice. Well we we know that in terms of risk factors for acquiring the infection which we which was the results from our 1st round that people of bayan Community Health care workers people who work and social care tend to be have have more evidence of past infection in terms of waning we do know from immunological study that people who are asymptomatic or suffer mild disease. There are people the levels decline more rapidly what we have seen and in all study is that in healthcare workers and younger people in the population those antibody detection novels tend to be maintained but we think thats because in the group they are more continuous more risk of infection so its not that there arent people devils a move to say its just that there are a group that potentially are being reinfected and therefore you have people more people infected overtime thats interesting so what are the implications then for Vaccine Development does this mean that we need to we need booster shots or vaccine so we wouldnt have long term effects. Ok well these are do not necessarily mean that nudity arising nation would be short lived or we would see immunity from vaccination behaving in the same way as it does from natural infection a good vaccine may well be effective the Natural Immunity we just dont know and were waiting on the results of some of the some of the trials that going on so it does need further research in terms of whether vaccination will provide longer immunity it is possible that people might need a beast a vaccine like we do for other Infectious Diseases if the vaccination does appear to be short lived so. I appreciate that this is a good news but equally it doesnt mean bad news in terms of the nation and immunity from vaccination Going Forward dr Christina Aitchison thank you so much for speaking to us about this.
