Charlie hebdo and a tense wait for results in tanzania after an election marred by violence and accusations of foul play. And in school the long wait for world series success is over. A 31 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays securing bit 1st championship win since 980 s. Thank you very much for joining us the latest cease fire between azerbaijan and armenia is crumbling after just 2 days as a by john is accusing armenia of killing at least 21 civilians and wounding dozens more in strikes close to the disputed region of nagornokarabakh the attack in the city of bada is a deadliest on civilians since fighting started a month ago between the 2 nations armenia denies the attacks which comes days after the u. S. Brokered a humanitarian truce at the same time armenia spying minister has accused azerbaijan of an attack on an attorney a hospital in the capital of a box as of yet there are no reported casualties well we have to report on this story rory challenges is in armenia capital yerevan but 1st we go to hold up to meet who is in baku azerbaijan what more are you hearing 1st about this attack in bhatta. Well we did speak to some people in barda city who really describe several hours of intense shelling as you said it was the worst attack on civilians since this round of hostilities began now the latest number is still stands at 21 dead but more than 70 injured and as we understand it some are in very Critical Condition this comes at the back of 4 other people who died on tuesday evening including an infant not very far from barda city in a village nearby the authorities here were quick to condemn that attack president ilham aliyev himself said that the response will come back will be on the battlefield and aides to the president. Had used cluster smersh long range missiles to hit the city of bard today and the army is saying that this still trying to figure out the extent of the damage that has been done but we as we understand that there has been several civilian infrastructures that were hit too hard i thank you for that Hoda Abdelhamid in back who azerbaijan for us lets get the view now from armenia and. There was already a lot of skepticism about this cease fire holding i mean the other 2 and you know if this 3rd one came with us hell what is the word from the armenians what are they saying happened. Will the armenians are saying at the end of the 1st day of the cease fire that the cease fire was dead so i dont think they hold any faith in it whatsoever any more that was little faith in it from the outset really the yemenis were saying they were sticking by it but today albeit slowly has been a grim day the worst for civilians it seems in this conflict so far the armenians have denied they attacked shelled baba but the pictures obviously tell a different story they are medians are saying that it is they who have been the victim of shelling today in the golan i care about that the capital the main city and they go on account of extra konica being attacked and that the main hospital that has been badly hit particularly the maternity wing of it no casualties as far as where way in that incident but they have also said the armenians that. The city of shushi has been attacked as well and that one civilian died in that rocket attack but i think theyre calling it and 2 injured now. Saying that this is a continuation of what hes calling a genocidal policy against the civilians of the going to karabakh the armenians of nagornokarabakh this is the kind of language that ive heard another time over the last couple of days i was interviewing a government figure yesterday and he was also saying. In all media this is being perceived as a continuation really all of the Armenian Genocide in which you know going back a 100 years plus the Ottoman Empire waged a campaign against on medians. Exterminated in the systematic way up to a 1000000 and a half of them so thats how its being viewed in armenia that this is an existential crisis that the country is going through at the moment that is the. Bending itself against outside aggression and that perhaps this is the kind of thing that we might see more of as as as sites get increasingly imbedded increasingly desperate perhaps that attacks on civilian centers are going to increase well thank you for that very chalons alive in yerevan armenia. The coronavirus spun demick now and 2 of europes largest countries are considering tough new restrictions as called 900 factions hit record highs the latest daily tally in germany recorded nearly 15000 new cases proposed restrictions include shutting bars cafes restaurants and limiting social contacts and in the coming hours france is expected to announce a 4 week nationwide lockdown lets bring in a nice baka whos keeping an eye on this from london neve germany had been praised for the way its handled the pandemic until now but they seem to be overwhelmed to tell us about the measures theyre considering putting in place. The nations facing a very challenging situation at the moment and merkel has blamed a lack of discipline across the country for the reason why the virus numbers are going up the infection rate has been steadily increasing at an exponential rate for the past few days or so which is why merkel has assembled the 16 leaders of germanys different federal states to come together and develop a common position on how best to deal with the crisis and that is likely to include the closure of all bars and restaurants from at some point next week the german newspaper billed is suggesting it could start on november the 2nd other reports suggest it could be later on in the week but your odds of say germany had set the tone and set the bar very very high when it came to dealing with the coronavirus largely because of its 400 different healthful thirtys across the country they already have Contact Tracing systems in place to deal with other illnesses such as measles but what weve seen is these Health Systems basically overrun by the virus thats growing steadily and one Health Official in bavaria said its like stopping an avalanche with his bare hands right any songes there germany devises creating problems across the whole of europe needs and going into the winter months its only going to get tougher and what different governments are going to be doing to address the growing number of cases. Well across the board governments are desperately trying to balance the need to control the virus as best they possibly can but also maintain the health of their respective academies as well after many months of stringent lock downs in many Different Countries bought at 1900 g. M. T. The french president emmanuel mccrum will address the nation the french government has been mulling the possibility of another nation wide lockdown to control the escalating numbers there is unlikely to be as stringent as the 1st time around meaning that schools could be allowed to stay open but given that earlier in the week within a 24 hour period 52000 new infections were recorded there are deep concerns that it is spiraling out of control especially given that one leading scientist that advises the government believes the figure could be double that number because some people simply dont get tested and some people asymptomatic elsewhere in europe spiralling figures in the Czech Republic a makeshift hospital comes online there to deal with overwhelming numbers of coronavirus patients and a new relief package for businesses in italy is set to be announced by giuseppe come to their Prime Minister after several days of clashes in milan and sure in between protesters and the police over severe restrictions that have led some bars and restaurants to be forced to close at 6 in the evening thank you very much for that update and with an agency on the coronavirus pandemic from london. And theres plenty more ahead on this news hour including the warning from the u. S. Secretary of state to sri lanka about chinese influence why my companion is calling beijing a predator plus. Im john hendren in ohio the state you know and for picking us president it might just do it one more time. I am in sports with andy details of a plot in shot from boss alone at its football craps outgoing president. Anger is growing against french president Emanuel Mccraw with new protests in bangladesh iran and pakistan this after he vowed to crack down on what he calls radical islam tensions have also fled between france and some muslim nations over cartoons of the prophet mohammad and not turkeys friends didnt want his threatening legal action against a french magazine for publishing a cartoon that mocks same on the front page of its latest edition on has criticized a satirical week calling it a disgusting effort to spread racism and hatred for. France and europe in general do not deserve the vicious provocative ugly hateful policies of mccrum and those who share the same mentality we invite prudent europeans to take initiative against this dangerous trend in order to have a Bright Future for them and their children we ask those who use anti muslim and turkish hostility to cover up their failures in their domestic politics to lay their dirty hands off our sacred values or find still says it wont give in to intimidation and will not renounce its principles all values earlier this month a teenager beheaded a french teacher for showing images of the prophet to students in a lesson on freedom of speech from across comments on islam have sparked protests across muslim countries like he. Here in bangladeshs capital dhaka egypts president. Has said freedom of expression should stop offending more than 1500000000 people and this was a scene earlier in iran the iranian president Hassan Rouhani says france must not insult the prophet and well have more on the reigning reaction with dorsey job in tehran in just a few minutes but 1st turkeys chief prosecutor has now launched an investigation into charlie. Has more on that from istanbul these not taking this insult on look at what he called insall the only cover of the magazine as personal but he was upset because the prophet mohammad the dearest of the muslim world was insulted in his own words. But he didnt stop heightening the tension by calling the west for real and ching crusades and some other words that he used and he he said that a west mocking a slum is a way to relaunch the crusades recently and he framed the incident as xenophobic and islamophobia in terms of the natural because basically means to go for b r because he an uncle or there is a belief that besides islamophobia to call for the what they call is on the rise and on to European Countries he tried to differentiate between the european people and the nationalists leaders whom he means actually. French president mccrone and netherlands politicians and he actually accused them for being fascists and races in his own or worse and he said that because those politicians have failed in their domestic policies they are targeting them most the world and turkey and he made a call. Prudent european people that they should launch an initiative to stop this speech of hate and here nies dosage of virus in tehran she says protesters there are demanding swift action from the government. A number of residents of the capital called on others to join them in front of the French Embassy to demonstrate against what they believe is a insult to all muslims not just the rain ians there is that we saw some pictures of people gathering for a few 100 gathering around and theyve also called for the name of the street which is called. To be changed back to be given a farsi name currently its named after a street where the founder of the air revolution Ayatollah Khomeini resided in france before he returned to iran in 1979 these images that weve seen is one of the few things that have taken place in iran since the events happened in france now of course weve heard from Iranian Foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif weve heard from the Foreign Ministry theyve all issued statements calling this a very very regrettable this is not something that the muslim world will accept and the french ambassador in tehran had also been summoned to the Foreign Ministry on monday and also on wednesday during his weekly Cabinet Meeting we heard from president Hassan Rouhani heres what he had to say. Chatter that. Disrespecting the prophet incites violence and its immoral westerners must understand that all muslims love the prophet and so can the prophet means insulting muslims and all prophets if the western europe claim they want peace and security then they must stop interfering in the internal issues of muslims the prophet told us to respect those we hope those who made mistakes will compensate for it and respect all religions these words by the president echo the sentiments that weve heard within iran over the past few days but of course iran has had a very close relationship with the french president money during the debates and discussions they had over the Nuclear Agreement it was president rouhani and president crown who were on the phone with each other a number of times so this has an escalated much further than a diplomatic dispute at the moment or diplomatic a lack of understanding as the iranians put it. Well from on the tensions between the french and me to stress now speak to him on bashar whos a senior political analyst live here in doha i want of course says no love lost between michael and i dont want but this latest tension over islam seems to be the most serious yet whats motivating it is it domestic politics you know there is multiple levels to the suspension thats going on. And the one there is the personal these are very charismatic theyre very. Outspoken. And say it within their society has been some we quite you know leadership centric and so its very very sensitive about their image of them very sensitive apart how they protect its also those of the world and both of them are in the midst of Political Health of the you know why sees. For us so that the present micro is running for election in the year and a half or so and 3rd my home is really starting to speak for europe and the west just as much as. President who i was once before the muslim war and i think barack brings us to some stereotypes and sort of by the muslim or them the worst and for the last there is the question of a City Education just for friends and europe it isnt that its a very you know those of turkey so you can see there are 345 levels to this tension right and im afraid that if you know a boarding or who tool because of the ongoing. Attacks and counterattacks right as you say or do on have sought to champion the rights of muslims outside of turkey my call has been projecting himself as a defender of european interests on the well stage this may work domestically but on the International Stage is it working. Absolutely not and i actually think this is destructive because most important this is not winnable were going to do evangelize the muslim world liberalize the most of the world by some discourse and betters are human are is the minds frons some sort of reaching out and they stumble is not compacting and i think all of this is just snowboarding proper dont think its not winnable the only people who are actually losing for the time being would be the muslims in europe who are really under attack by some fascists and some precess against them and yes i would say 40 before and this is very important its all now of the its all now and its all now basically skyrocketed i dont control because the stereotype of the killer of the french teacher is one moves that hes not 1300000000 was indeed and that one correctness whether he is impervious or he is unimportant isnt one european is not europe is not but mr world and i think thats basically the center of the problem not going to do either norco neither the west nor the east should be studied by one of the action of one force and thats a very important point to make to then to his credit he did not bring christianity when he talks about europe when he talks about my right right now neither leader seems to be wanting to back down how far could this go and what would be the consequences diplomatically i mean are we going to see countries being forced to take sides. Well look at what you know we just heard from the various reporters with what i mean now is the my goal of being supported by various european leaders including the foreign minister. You know. If you use that for a loop and dont you know as you just serves the supported by various forces in the summit or do it with iran force its pretty conspicuous that the likes of silence at best is probably an issue for another day reader as it many things are snowballing article this is going to be resolved by some count but thats been you need to cool it down because no one will win out of this thing and thats what it is up to those that go on and was there. To really try to just begin to use it and neither of them should be upset by one single incident from this side or the other side thank you so much marwan for your insight always good to hear from you on this issue is a political analysts you can find him on twitter at my one thank you for your time. The u. S. President ial candidates are making their final push to win over voters with just under a week to go until election day theyre crossing the country campaigning in battleground states more than 17000000 americans have already voted a record that could lead to the highest voter turnout in a century mike hanna has our report from washington. A final frenetic week of campaigning before election day President Trump doing a swing through 3 of the states with polls indicate he is neck and neck with joe biden wisconsin michigan and the brusca. Attempting to remove one issue from the agenda at the beginning of the day tweeting Fake News Media is going full on. We are rounding the turn 99. 9 percent. And hes attempting to reset the conversation around an economy he claims to have provided its trouble believe the number one reason that im standing here because of trade and how we turn that around thanks 7 days from now were going to win the great state vote were going to win 4 more years in the war. But joe biden kept the discussion sent to done what he describes as the trump administrations failure to deal effectively with the pandemic this administration has yet to offer a single plan thats one of the reasons why the most one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world the new england journal of medicine called the president quote dangerously incompetent went on to say president turned a crisis into a tragedy im ready that act. I know what to do. Biden spent the day in georgia which polls indicate has come strongly into play for the Democratic Party its been a solidly republican state for decades but full clinton the last democratic candidate to take it back in 1992 the fact that democrats believe theres a chance of biden winning it is a clear sign of how the traditional electoral landscape is changing another good sign for the Democratic Party is the massive number of votes that have already been cast close to 70000000 americans have already voted thats more than a half the number of total ballots cast 4 years ago but the Biden Campaign warns against complacency traditionally its republicans who cast the most votes in person on election day a factor that could still tilt the balance mike hanna aljazeera washington lets bring in kimberly how can now live for us at the white house so kimberly the final stretch tell us about whats happening today on the campaign trail. The campaigning continues joe biden will be at his home state of delaware hell be holding a speech a virtual speech event as well where he will be discussing not only health care but once again what he sees as told trumps failed response to cope with night t. V. He will also be using his Closing Argument opportunity to talk about how he believes he is the best person to heal this divided nation now his running mate come on harris will be in arizona where notably that is where donald trump will be as well hell be holding to make America Great again rallies where he is continuing to insist that the polls were wrong in 2016 and theyll be wrong again that he believes he will have a red wave victory meaning that he believes that republicans are going to show up in greater numbers than weve seen potentially democrats showing up in early voting is tweeting that the polls were wrong and theyll be wrong again but again my catarrh reported the surge of early voting has really exceeded all expectations its now more than 70000000 that just to give you perspective is more than 50 percent of the 2016 turned out and were not yet at election day were still 6 days away but once again donald trump saying that hes going to have an electoral victory even as joe biden is leading by significant numbers in the battleground state of wisconsin narrowly in that battleground state of michigan these are areas that needs and also we should point out another thing thats different about 2016 is the Record Number of young people that are voting this time in that 20 to 29 age group and they overwhelmingly lead lean rather democratic thank you can believe what i can really how could live at the white house in washington. Now when it comes to us you next im going to say its ohio that predicts the winner it speaks the winning candidate in the 32 past president. Elections john hendren high points. Clevelands industrial skyline rises from the ohio coast on lake erie and its ohios mix of industry agriculture and service jobs that make it a microcosm of the u. S. And thats what makes ohio the bellwether state. For decades all routes to the white house have gone through here ohio has voted for the winner in every president ial election since 1964 and they take voting seriously here i think its most important especially if you want to see times no republican has ever won the presidency without 1st winning in ohio. At may holes Bowling Alley winning is the name of the game. Here in suburban cleveland the diversity within International Border the crowd leans toward democrats and away from President Trump hes mentally imbalanced and he is a threat to the health and well being of everyone on the planet im looking for a change this upcoming election season just that we can kind of get back on track as a country. On the states vast farmlands and in the factory town of canton where Apache Industrial Services recently expanded into coronavirus cleaning solutions penetrates the d. N. A. Of the cell the workers lean toward republicans and the blunt spoken president hes straight to the point he doesnt really take too much from people kind of says well its only wanted to time his character not so much. But what hes done politically what hes done for policies and stuff i stand again polls show joe biden in trump in a dead heat here where trump won handily in 2016 but that was before the coronavirus and a wave of economic shutdowns oh i wonder stands the importance of Economic Issues also understands the moment the countrys low. The democrats have very wisely then shifted the politics to be the campaign to being a referendum on president with just days to go both candidates have made a priority of navigating ohios shifting political waters if history is any guide whichever candidate wins this great lake state will likely win the presidency john hendren Al Jazeera Cleveland ohio.

And is growing anger against french president in one you might call with new protests in bangladesh pakistan and iran is after he vowed to crack down on what he called radical islam in front of turkeys president has accused mccall of having an untimely agenda. How the world news now and the polls have closed in tanzanias general elections which have been marred by violence and allegations of. President john michael fully is seeking a 2nd term the government has been accused of cracking down on dissent on tuesday the opposition in the semiautonomous region of zanzibar said at least 8 people were killed there during protests over ballot fraud catherine so is following elections from neighboring kenya. Throughout the day weve seen a lot of conversation online a lot of conversation in tanzania as well especially with opposition supporters claiming widespread on a leg ations the Opposition Leader to lease who has been tweeting as well saying that he is receiving reports that hes polling agents of being denied access to polling stations in some parts talking of stuffing intimidation some peoples names missing from the Voters Register and so one and in another tweet he is calling for mass action without giving details really of what this. Is we have not been able to identify. To to verify independently this information but then i have to tell you the Electoral Commission president has just had a briefing to talk about what has happened throughout the day and he said that todays process has gone fairly smoothly he did address those concerns and allegations by the opposition and say that it is not sure that those allegations are not based on evidence he has told tanzanians not to listen to what is being said by the opposition saying that this are just ways of the opposition just trying to weave top emotions he also said that they will not he was asked whether theyre going to it perhaps extend. The voting time and he said they will not but people who are already in the voting stations in the queues are going to be allowed to would so basically he say the process has gone fairly well its just a few technical issues and this allegations by the opposition are not true. Let me talk to agnes gitau about this and more now shes the managing partner at g. B. s africa an Advisory Firm that provides for legal and economic risk intelligence shes joining us from london agnes very good to have you with us on this news hour 1st of all let me ask you about the assessment and how you think this vote was condemned conducted do you think it was a free and Fair Election at all. Thank you very much for having me im humbled to share some insight on on a country my colleagues and i have been following closely an important economy for east africa and to respond to your question the election being fair and free according to the news were receiving both from the opposition and a lot of observers the view is that we heard than been free youll remember yesterday there were some violence in zanzibar where all but 8 people were killed and all saw earlier today the government blocked any form of communication through twitter and water and the only way you could access information was through the bus your private Networks Family because of issues that have been braced. I will not be able to say that these are the big 3 in pair and also that a lot of people observers are been blocks that will be the election the opposition has crowd cried foul already and its likely that if the they reject these results will see violence weve seen violence already in zanzibar which has a history of Election Related Violence what you know is is this election really the implications of the elections for the region how are tanzanias neighbors watching this. Fully. Traditionally tanzania is a very stable and very peaceful economy has always been a model into when it comes to peace and stability for the rest of the stuff i remember were surrounded by somalia the done countries that have been very unstable so the east african region a certainly watching the election closely remember the near port for uganda rwanda and sudan that landlocked country there are some rounding towns and again theres the regional vision whereby east africa members are working together to word Infrastructure Development on the last week tanzania and uganda signed a deal for the 3500000000. 00 pipeline project so certainly this election is as important to east africa anybodys fault and onions to rain and the African Union has been calling for a peaceful vote we know this is an easy contested election what war can they pay do they have enough weights to sway you know the different leaders there. Probably you know very well the African Union has been charlaine they talk the talk the talk by the not they dont walk the walk with the africans i think the most important thing is this election going to respect the will of the turns any other outcome and again the African Union has been been blamed for really working with catell supporting. To critic leadership throughout the african continent and suddenly the African Union can say whatever i want to say but its ultimately up to tanzania turns that it is a sovereign state and it will be up to the people of turns an ear and the leadership to do what they think is right for the country thank you so much agnes for talking to us about this we appreciate your insight agnes gitau joining us there from london thank you. The polls have closed for the 1st phase of voting in indias state of bihar its the countrys 1st election since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic there nearly 72000000. 00 eligible voters in the states correspondent elizabeth reports from new delhi. A new set of voting protocols people in bihar sanitize their hands and have their temperature taken before casting their ballot in the 1st election in india since the start of the coronavirus pandemic around 20000000 people lined up to vote in a local election season is an Important National test and whether large events like these can be held safely during the pandemic. Voters who wanted to have their say despite safety concerns. Its 100 percent not safe because you may be sanitizing the areas but youve seen the rallies where holding them there are so crowded we dont think anyone is safe. The government hasnt helped us deal with the coronavirus i would give them a 4 out of 10 people are forced to walk on roads they face many problems. The election is also seen as a test of how Prime MinisterNarendra Modi and his party have handled the coronaVirus Outbreak when the Indian Government imposed one of the worlds strictest lockdowns in march hundreds of thousands of Migrant Workers were forced to walk on many for hundreds of kilometers. 1500000. 00 workers who lost their jobs elsewhere and returned to be hired including. The father of 5 says they feel abandoned by the government. The government hasnt helped us at all i lost my Identity Card we havent been given a Food Distribution card we have difficulty finding food. Is one of indias most impoverished states with a Public Health care system that is struggling to deal with the Virus Outbreak yet Prime Minister campaigned on what he said was his Coalition Government success in fighting the virus. I want the people to be hard for fighting the battle against with courage the decisions have been taken quickly to tackle the pandemic. The b j p promised free card vaccines for the people of the party is reelected but for the millions of unemployed in a struggling to feed their families a yet to be developed vaccine is not what theyre asking for elizabeth aljazeera. Americas top diplomat has hit out at chinas ties with cher lanka in its latest job and tour of the region secretary of state my compare has been discussing trade and security with sri lankas foreign minister in colombo is pressing sure lanka to be on guard against what he called predatory lending and investment by china beijing has accused the us of bullying smaller nations. Indeed a strong sovereign sure walker is a powerful and Strategic Partner for the United States on the world stage they can be a beacon for the free and open in the pacific but thats quite a quite a contrast to what china 6 we see from bad deals violations of sovereignty and lawlessness on leaded see that the Chinese Communist party is a predator in the United States comes a different way we come as a friend and as a partner we now for 9 days has more now from colombo. Essentially this sort of rhetoric ratcheted up obviously in the run up to visit basically the u. S. Secretary of state in that address talking about that sort of predator kind of rule that china as he sees it is playing in sri lanka whereas he says that the u. S. Comes as a friend now china has also been responding because right at the outset before the secretary of state came to south asia there will obviously briefings and one of the Principal Deputy assistant secretaries in his briefing said that the old sri lanka to make some difficult decisions but necessary ones to ensure and secure economic independence obviously china took umbrage to that responded saying that the u. S. Was basically interfering as well as violating diplomatic protocols they basically accused the United States of having a sort of a cold war mindset and a sort of a. Mystic sort of a mentality and an attitude now the u. S. Basically saying that they come as a friend wanting to see sovereignity for sri lanka wanting to see development and sri lankans having that ability essentially to be in control of their future. Varies International Outcry over a possible plan by japan that could see radioactive water released into the ocean on the focus Nuclear Plant where engineers continue to deactivate reactors damaged in the 27 earthquake and tsunami aljazeera as well but by reports from the south east coast of south korea. The lead junko and his son lemo yall this is a Family Business thats been built up over 30 years a fish farm j i learned a community that is heavily dependent on these waters. In the season the fishing industry is important both fishing and fish farming we have both here demand for their fish was already suffering because of the pandemic and the postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has meant japanese fish farms have been dumping unwanted stock onto the open market further driving down prices but its what might be coming next from japan that has everybody worried at the fukushima Nuclear Plant steadily increasing rows of tanks now hold more than a 1000000 tonnes of mostly groundwater that has flowed into the site becoming radioactive with Storage Space due to run out in 2022 theres growing speculation it might be released into the ocean. I think we cant hold off making a decision on the policy forever we will take us apart ability as a government to make a decision on how to dispose of the contaminated water. Japan insists the water is treated to remove the most harmful radiation and that it is safe enough to release a claim disputed by environmentalists and it sparked strong opposition in northeast asia especially been known for we hope that the japanese government will act with a high since of responsibility towards its own people neighboring countries and the international community. Most people. In fukushima are opposed to the plan including local fisherman who fear their livelihoods could be devastated and people here believe its only a matter of time before the radioactive water finds its way to these shores the leaf family says even if discovered in the tiniest amounts any radiation in fish stocks would ruin its business. If there was even a slight problem it would harm not only trust in japan but also confidence in elfish so i think its not just south korea but all countries that should be concerned nearly 10 years on from the devastating tsunami the legacy of it might be about to deliver another unwelcome shock rob mcbride aljazeera got a island south korea Money TransferService Western union is closing hundreds of offices in cuba after the u. S. Impose new sanctions they prevent Western Union from dealing with a military run company that controls remittances into the country more than 400. 00 officers will be shot which will affect many cuban so rely on money from relatives abroad eric trans warthe is Vice President of the council of the americas he says its not just the military that we affected by the sanctions. The people who most likely be affected in addition to the cuban military of course will be the recipients of the remittances which is the Common People in cuba and theyre not just in the major metropolitan cities like atlanta but theyre also spread out around the country and rural areas which are already hurting because of economic slowdown cope with pandemic and the like so the people who will be the hurt are the ones who rely on remittances really to meet their basic daily and weekly needs and im trying to target the cuban military which does have its hand in the.
