A Religious School in pakistan and well tell you why a new abortion law in poland has triggered mass protests across the country. Thank you very much for joining us with exactly a week to go before the u. S. Elections says been a surge in early voting partly due to when despite the coronavirus pandemic more than 63000000 americans had voted by monday night thats 4000000 more than all early votes 4 years ago National Polls are giving democratic contender joe biden a solid lead although its a lot tighter in some battleground states but the coronavirus pandemic continues to overshadow the campaign infections are 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 the pandemic began stock markets in the u. S. Saw their biggest one day drop in a month on monday as concern grows that failure to contain the outbreak will hurt the economic recovery and rescue package remains held up in congress with democrats and republicans deadlocked over the details lets go straight to our White House Correspondent kimberly how it gets so kimberly one week to go until election day opinion polls not looking good for donald trump whats the Campaign Strategy as it makes its closing pitch to voters. Because president s just left the white house he is headed to the midwest where the u. S. President trying to shore up support but in terms of strategy what dollars what was trying to do is hang on to the socalled blue wall that means states that had previously voted democrat and 2016 voted for donald trump he needs to hang on to those few was to secure a reelection victory and this is where they are watching the polls very carefully as you reported they are in fact very tight and not looking promising for donald trump but they continue to try to remain optimistic saying the polls are wrong in 2016 and they are counting on them being wrong in 2020 again and meanwhile joe biden is in georgia former president obama has been stumping for him in florida which is of course an important battleground state this is obamas presence good for biden. Its absolutely good because till now i mean and it remains that brock obama is one of the most charismatic politicians he is really adored here in the United States by so many democratic supporters much more so we would say than joe biden and so when brock obama gets on the campaign trail he electrifies that Democratic Base and that is what the Biden Campaign is counting on now its obviously irritating the u. S. President because he delayed his departure to watch barack obama as he was on the campaign trail in florida that seem to bother donald trump of course that is his backyard where he has a home so he was tweeting about it and also as he left the white house was criticized in saying what he believed is that there have been lagging crowd numbers for joe biden as a result they had to call him barack obama and he once again touted his crowd size at his rallies 25000 the president says of his latest one but the bottom line is this just because you get someone to a rally does not mean you get their support at the polls still this is what donald trump is counting on encouraging his supporters to remain optimistic thank you very much for that kimberly hocket live at the white house. While Donald Trumps 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 in chicago for his john the midwest very important michigan of course does the president still have a hold on the midwest or have things changed in the last 4 years. Well in 2016 just ahead of the election about the time we are now week ahead the polls were showing donald trump well behind in the midwestern swing states these are the great great lakes states of pennsylvania ohio sorry pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin he flipped all of those states on election day and ohio which he was expected to win that time around so as you heard kimberly say his campaign is confident that he can move on with the numbers hes got but hes hind in the polls and the way he did this last time was. The republicans tend to do well in the rural areas the democrats tend to do well in this city so he captured the suburbs and in places like pennsylvania and mccomb county michigan that is where donald trump won so we went to mccomb county this is a swing county that voted for barack obama and then donald trump and we asked voters what they thought to take a look. Mccomb county which sits between 2 great lakes lake huron and 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 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 going how are they missing work he leads trump handily in recent polls whats changed is this mask the epidemic here as been very difficult we have lost over a 1000 people to call 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 life what has also changed is a growing political conflict within the state. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer is 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 you got to get your governor to open up your state. So donald trump is behind in the polls and playing defense trying to keep those states that voted for him last time today hes campaigning in wisconsin in michigan and in the solidly republican state of nebraska all states that he won last time around joe biden meanwhile is playing all fence hes going to georgia a usually republican state so hes trying to expand the map while donald trump is trying to hold on to those states that hes already that he won in 2016 and are not looking good there was one released by the university of wisconsin at madison they put him at 10 Percentage Points ahead in michigan 9 Percentage Points ahead in wisconsin and about 8 Percentage Points away in the other d great lakes swing state of pennsylvania there are pollsters though who say that donald trump might do considerably better the polls generally come closer together close to election day although as youve been pointing out more than 6060000000 people have already voted but there are apparently shy voters according to some pollsters people who dont respond to polls but come out on election day and those people some pollsters have been suggesting could give trump an extra one to 2 Percentage Points but you heard those polls he is farther than that behind in several states thank you so much for that john hendren reporting there live from chicago and in part 3. Of the battleground states in americas made wes. From ohio where much which is very much a swing state and find out what matters to voters there thats coming up on wednesday right here on the air. Now on to other world news and the chairman of the African Union is calling for Peaceful Elections in tanzania and its semiautonomous region of zanzibar several people have reportedly been shot dead by police in zanzibar while they were protesting alleged voter fraud and the main Opposition Leader there was arrested early tuesday but has since been released Catherine Story reports the these protesters in tanzania semi autonomous region of zanzibar are mostly supporters of st sharif from that the main opposition president ial candidate was arrested in the Early Morning at a polling station during advance voting special groups such as security personnel Election Officials and people with disabilities he was related released.

Its a few protesters who wanted to cause destruction and. We have arrested some of their criminals everything is going well there is no major problems of the. In another island in the archipelago several people on are reported to have been shot and killed and others injured after attempting to block the distribution of voting material they said some ballot papers had been remarked. Elections in zanzibar have often been contentious and violent in voting during the 2015 president ial call malim safe sheriff claimed victory for the Electoral Commission a nod to the results and the opposition courted are repeat an action. Some analysts fear that an unfavorable result for the opposition this time could trigger another violent fall out with the ruling party.

Possible of course the environment or the level or the group the playground her is not level both in terms of the institutions which are governing or managing this election as well as the conduct of the security agencies are in the run up to the selection a lot over a period of the opposition 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 listen has been stopped a couple of times and this was a raise a lot of concern about the fairness of this election but most or the bigger question was the disqualification of a lot of the candidates that were participating in this election. From the position which has created a lot of fear that of course this election is not be fair and free is voting on the ballot 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 stand 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 a have the ruling party and hes tried its best to control that particular island as 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 no violence but there are very serious indications that they could be whelans because the determination by the ruling party to take over the island when they are going to very strong opposition because actually thats where the opposition is strongest in this election.

I am so sorry i need to fight for my daughters future i cannot imagine not being everything is. Ok if alos last weeks ruling by polands Constitutional Court that abortions in all but a few cases are legal the move paves the way for the governing right wing law and Justice Party to approve a barrel of terminations even in cases of fetal defects and when there is no chance of survival outside the womb abortion will only be allowed in cases of rape incest or where theres a threat to the mothers life. Polands Prime Minister promised to defend what conservatives see as an unborn childs right to life son of the prince for those of us of the good pollicie dippold the freedom of choice truly is a fundamental thing that we should all agree that in order to have this freedom of choice one needs to be a life the one who is dead cannot implement ones right to freedom of choice.

And the African Union is calling for Peaceful Elections in Tanzania Police on the semiautonomous island of zanzibar reportedly killed 5 people who took part in protests alleging ballot fraud ahead of wednesdays folks. More now on our top story this hour on the final week of campaigning for the u. S. Elections most opinion polls show Donald Trumps democratic rival joe biden leading the president ial race but just how are these surveys speak to talk about whos professor and Political Management Program director at George Washington University Joins us via skype from washington thank you very much for fessor for being with us so we keep hearing about the 2016 polls and how they were wrong about Hillary Clintons victory i mean she did win the popular vote even though she lost the natural college what do the polls today one week before the election tell you does it feel different this time round. Ok well 1st i think we need to correct the. The idea that the right or wrong in 2016 the National Polls were correct and if you look at the 10 different swing states only 11. 00 was off and that was wisconsin the rest of them fell within the margin of error and you would expect that one of those 20 estimates 10 states estimating 2 different candidates would be out and North Carolina was out but wisconsin was really the one that was off now we know that what was wrong with the polls in 2016 to the extent that it was wrong there wasnt a whole lot wrong like i said is that they didnt do what was called sample wait waiting for noncollege educated persons education was not something that they tried to correct for in the modeling theyre doing it this year in fact they did it back in 2018 and the 2018 holes were the most accurate we have on record so i think that the polls are in a much better shape right now now of getting us a closer estimate as to what we can expect what about those shy voters we kept hearing about from 20 to 16. Right inner notices of the shy trump voter phenomenon that is that people wouldnt tell the pollsters that they were going to vote for trump and entered a voting for him when it actually came to election day that didnt really happen those voters were really there if you look at the polls and we know that theyre certainly not very shy right now theyre out there in force and they have their signs on and theyre waving their flags and everything and so i dont think we really need to worry about that one of the things that did happen in 2016 that makes it look like that might have been something was that we had what was called the komi investigation that reopened and Hillary Clintons emails in the last the weekend right before the election and some of the polls that were taken were before that revelation happened and we know for people who make up their minds in the last week or so its the character of the of the candidates the personality traits that really make a big difference so if you thought that Hillary Clinton was not very trustworthy youre less likely to vote for for those voters who decided in the last week they went to one for trump in 2016 right this year we have candidates that are much better known and much better liked we have 63000000 and counting right now in terms of actually voting and before us indicate that by just said democrats have so far out voted by just said republican scatting more than double the number of ballots how would it change the voting patterns. Boy i wish we really had something that we can compare this to but 2020 is really like no other year weve ever had not just in politics but of course with the pandemic and Everything Else the early voting looks good for democrats unless you look at the fact that an even bigger proportion of them said they intended to vote by mail so the the results are not coming up quite as much as planted as we expected we expected it to be 2. 00 to 1. 00 democratic advantage in the early voting and even though the democrats are there almost 2. 00 to 1. 00 a little bit less than that its not quite the margins we expected and of course we have no idea whats going to happen on election day now and we have no idea about turnout on election day who will the big terry not favor. Generally we think that a big turnout will favor democrats and the reason why we think that and thats not always the case but we think so in this election and thats because turnout was down in key cities in the midwest and in the swing states those urban areas that are usually solidly democratic places like pittsburgh and philadelphia and detroit the vote turnout was down in those places we expected to be up this year and we expect that to benefit joe biden thank you so much professor for talking to us about this todd bowed to his professors at George Washington University Joining affair by skype from d. C. Thank you very much for your time we appreciate it my pleasure thank you. Now Donald Trumps pick for the u. S. Supreme Court Justice has been sore named Amy Coney Barrett took the oath of office in a late night sam morning at the white house shortly after the Senate Confirmed her nomination her appointment gives the top court a large conservative majority alan fischer reports. 30 days after her nomination him equally valid became the one justice on the u. S. Supreme court they held an event at the white house. Now. The initial 70 was a super spreader event for covert 1000. 00 with many attendees including the president contrite thing the virus that didnt deter President Donald Trump who wanted a political victory so close to the election this is a momentous day for america for the United States constitution and for the fair and impartial rule of law the speed of the process is upset democrats the see the choice of a new justice should have been left to the next president may win this vote but in the process you will speed precipitous decline of face in our institution our politics the senate and the Supreme Court you will give in already divided an angry nation a fresh outrage the democrats tried to bring public pressure to stop the vote the argued there were more important things they argued that the republicans wouldnt even consider a democratic nomination for the Supreme Court in an Election Year 4 years ago but the reality is the democrats never had any real power to stop this nomination going through a lecture and have consequences. And what this administration and those republicans. Theres an actress of. The power that was given to us by the American People let me corny but it will replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died last month her appointment solidifies a 63 conservative majority on the court but she insists she will look to current views on to the court the oath that i have suddenly taken tonight means at its core that i will do my job without any fear or favor and that i will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences democratic president ial nominee joe biden says if he wins the election hell look again at how did you decide branch of the American Government uproots or just a group of serious charges of dollars from a number of ideas how we should proceed from this point of having no been sworn in justice starts work immediately exactly what the republicans wanted alan fischer aljazeera washington the Fatal Shooting of a mentally ill black man in the us city of philadelphia has led to violent overnight protests police shot and killed wall to wall is after yelling at him to drop his knife demonstrators set police cars and garbage bins on fire 30 officers were injured during protests. Now the red carpet has been rolled out for a scaled back version of the Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera just 4 films will be shown over the next 3 days the main event was postponed in may because of the corner virus fund that make wild open to the public seats are limited and spaced out and masks mandatory as speak to Jasmine Simpkins about this she is a whole send film critic with hip hollywood dot com and she is wise cut from a scientist jasmine very guitar of you with us on the show so we have a mini version of the Cannes Film Festival this year what is it going to look and feel like you think. You know this was really an effort to restore hope in the sound and st the french entertainment minister she really wanted to make sure that people understood that while this was not going to go on in traditional fashion that you know they still want to be able to celebrate now there were. Some. Films that were shown that are from and then now we who are preview that will be shown as well during the festival for its not going to be all the fans that were used but it will go on and i think this is a great way because you can either celebrate cinema during this time for films as they say chosen in the 2020 officials had action but without the physical festival its much harder i imagine for sales agents to create was the wrong can selections is there a standout title this year in 29. 00 of course we had a parasite is there anything that stands out this year for you there is the cost of beginning that people are talking about are the International Festival rounds and i think the film that is a part of one film preview i got a lot of theres a lot of the rounding and so i think that they really make sure to pick sound that have already been making the market maybe not in the u. S. But on the International Round and from the record to civil war and i think eventually will. Lead to the. Chest pain are these film festivals whether its come on venice berlin are they going to be able you think to recover from from the pandemic and more broadly will the film fashion stars you know what will these industries feel comfortable and the people who work in them feel comfortable comfortable going back to play called mode the file festival. You know i think. The festival hands on is really a. Big a list stars converge and on the rear are wearing Fabulous Fashion and so you have. To make this the red carpet is there. And so i can still know that were going to that in the years maybe definitely not when he 21 same fashion that we have seen it before i think will make art in the classical in a different kind of way i think it would just be photographed. So many people and its be below me who have that have already i think theyve already started for next years festival and i believe that some of you know. What theyve got or suddenly going to miss the glitz and glamour this year thank you so much as men for talking to us Jasmine Simpkins is a film critic joining us from the century thank you for your time thank you folly. Now i new study by researches in the u. K. s dashing hopes that socalled herd immunity took over 1000 can be achieved because antibodies have a short shelf life researchers from the Imperial College london found the number of people testing positive for anti bodies has fallen by 26 percent since last done was ease 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 have protection against the virus so it can no longer transmit efficiently and dr Christine Aitchison is one of the authors of the reacts to Study Reports and she says its too early to say if facts nation will provide people with longer any unity. These results do not necessarily mean immunity arising from wrecks a nation would be short lived or we would see immunity from vaccination and behaving in the same way as it does from natural infection a good vaccine may well be better than Natural Immunity we just arent we dont know and were waiting for the results of some of the some of the trials going on that does need further research in terms of whether vaccination will provide longer immunity it is possible that people might need to boost the vaccine like we do for other Infectious Diseases if if the vaccination does appear to be short lived so you know i appreciate that this stuff this isnt good news but equally it doesnt mean bad news in terms of vaccination and immunity from vaccination going forward.
