Police in france have arrested a 3rd suspects linked to thursdays knife attack in nice 3 people were killed in the attack on a church the 3rd suspect was apparently present when police searched the home of a 2nd man linked to the case on friday. Authorities have identified the 3rd victim of thursdays attack a 60 year old French National dean the vias she was at the church to pray lets go live to nice to zeerust. David the 3rd individuals been arrested in connection with the attack what more do we know about. Aging apart from the rest we know nothing more essentially weve got a 47 year old in custody he was the 1st taken in and then the Anti Terror Police took in a 35 year old and a few hours later an associate of his who is 33 clearly what the police are worried about is that there was some sort of chain or network here in nice itself that was supporting the knife attack in some way theres no evidence of that yet we havent heard what evidence the police are gathering we havent heard any charges against those theyve arrested but they want to find out whether this was a one off or a predetermined action with malice that was worked out by a network of supporters that is what they want to find out but meanwhile behind me weve seen a huge number of people continue to lay tributes theres a hardening of. Perhaps a tween one community and the other between the christian and the Muslim Community hasnt been very obvious but its beginning to become obvious but for the 1st time we are hearing from leading members of the Muslim Community across france an attempt to try and stand up against the violence weve seen lets hear what one of them said in a. Tribute mass that was held last night. The Christian Brothers and sisters our dearest thoughts after this abject attack which plunges us into fear and astonishment that we can then with force and firmness terrorism and fanaticism will not succeed in destroying our precious links and our deep will to build together a United National Community United and multifaith. The police here are increasing the number of their patrols the number of policemen in and around the basilica here has been increased amount of them a lot of them have assault rifles there are also new patrols on the probably not days on blair of course where 4 years ago there was that other terrorist attack in which 86. 00 people were killed on bastille day so there does seem to be a new tension here theres a terminations by the french government to make sure the places of worship and that schools are safe are protected properly and next week of course we see the number of troops across france being increased from 3000 as part of operations at all to some 7000 so still a huge amount of tension here of a serious david chase a life for us there in nice many thanks david. Protesters in pakistans biggest city of burnt effigies of frances president are many all mccraw theyve been angry angry protests across several muslim countries after defended the right to mock religion and vowed to crack down on what he calls radical islam and a rally in karachi for similar protests in the capital islamabad on friday but hundreds of people in ramallah in the west bank of join the protests they chanted anti french slogans thousands of people also took part in rallies in hebron and East Jerusalem earlier in the week and palestinian shops have been removing french products from their shelves indonesias president condemned fridays fatal attack on the basilica thursday as im sorry attack on the basilica in nice but criticized president across recent statements in. Indonesia strongly condemns the statement made by the french president who insults the religion of islam which has hurt the feelings of muslims around the world this could divide the unity between religious communities worldwide when the world needs to be united in the fight against covert 19. Associating religion with an act of terrorism is a big mistake terrorism and terrorist have nothing to do with any religion or president mccrone has sat down with aljazeera to discuss the way the bank he says the radical islam that hes trying to fight is a threat to all people especially muslims. Harlee sentiments and even i understand the sentiments being expressed and i respect them but you must understand my role right now its to do 2 things to promote calm and also to protect these rights. What i want to say is very clear that today in the world there are people who distort islam and in the name of this religion that they claim to defend they kill they slaughter they make speeches justifying a kind of expulsion of human groups from the world today there is violence practiced by some extremist movements and individuals in the name of islam. Of course this is a problem for islam because muslims are the 1st victims and as i mentioned before more than 80 percent of the victims of terrorism are muslims and this is a problem for all of us lets get the thoughts of i was here a senior political analyst now and bashar who joins us now via skype from doha know many of us and that interview in full what do you make of it. I think it was pretty interesting in fact that if you want to be generous to worse the french president you would say hes trying to move or the ambiguity from his previous statements if you want to be a bit more critical you would say he is backtracking on some of the things he said because of the emerging and expanding contagion of just put it into words france and the muslim world regardless of whether you see it this way or the other way certainly he is adding some clarity as to what he said before why it to raise so much interest and controversy and how he would if given another chance by aljazeera that he would construct contextualize it and he was underlined certain things that he actually believes in or he does not believe in notably things like he does not personally or as president embraced they got a tour that weve seen even in some governmental buildings of on fronts that when he talked about the crisis of islam he meant is that even in the muslim world there are people who are misinterpreting. And not hurt the muslims are as much as they are hurting westerners in fact hurting muslims more than the arctic was and so all in all it was an attempt at clarifying it was attempt at improving that tone and the contents of where he stands on issues that are with importance to friends in the muslim world and i think to some extent he succeeded although i personally find a couple of the things he said not sense all right so a more conciliatory tone from the crowd to what extent though does it not really matter what he says now and that the damage is done nothings going to opinions the people who are protesting around the world and removing french goods from shop shelves. Im not im not im not very sure about that i think yes the damage is done is done but im not sure that it needs to continue to do it to escalate because in the end of the day. There is no winner out of you know europe Standing Shoulder to shoulder against a number of countries in the on the muslim world who are cultural and religious issues and the interpretations of those issues no one is going to be winners and if there are any losers it will probably be a lot of the muslims in europe so it is in everyones interest if the french president is sincere about contextualizing and about backtracking some of the things that the he said that he now understands clearly that they were controversial and he did not mean to criticize islam as a religion because islam is that religion of more than 1500000000 people its a great religion and many people truly believe that they were insulted by a number of things coming out of france if you clarify a lot d of that and he is ready to go further into saying that this is a common combats for you to be ns and muslims against extremists of all sides and that he is ready to combat racism in france as and the stomach for b. And for as much as he is willing to go out and confront the radical religious terrorists and so on and so forth then i think that should begin to improve the atmosphere between France Europe and the most of the world a similar political analyst now in bashar of the many thanks theyve known. This is the news hour from aljazeera still to come on the program ivory coasts president warns against a return to civil unrest as he seeks a controversial 3rd term in an election thats left dozens of people dead. Iraqi Security Forces reopen the square at the epicenter of a year of antigovernment demonstrations will get reaction from background and sports well talk to the uganda World Champion run up looking to win more goals far right here with that and the rest of the days action a little later in the. Media is accusing azerbaijan of using volatile White Phosphorous munitions in the go no cover back the ministry of Foreign Affairs released this video saying that civilian areas are nearby White Phosphorus is considered an incendiary weapon its use is restricted under International Law its fire is difficult to extinguish and it sticks to flash making its been more severe. Armenias Prime Minister has asked russia for help in its conflict with azerbaijan as any forces made advances towards some locations in the disputed nagornokarabakh region after talks in geneva on the collapse of the 3rd ceasefire the 2 countries have agreed to not deliberately target civilian populations challenge as the latest now from the out of. Nicole question on the armenian Prime Minister whose office you can see across the square behind me tweeted out earlier today that despite the agreement reached not to target civilians and civilian infrastructure since the Early Morning azerbaijan has resumed its bombing of shushi and the panic at the azerbaijan leadership he said is not capable of fulfilling its own commitments and the civilians of new going to care about are his main enemy and target now he was referring to the fact that just yesterday on friday both the sides pledged not to target civilian populations and hes saying that that is exactly what the azerbaijanis have done the armies of also released a couple of video seemingly show the use of White Phosphorus an incendiary munition that sends out burning lumps of white chemical full down causing horrendous injuries to anyone whos underneath restricted under International Law and he says that the azerbaijanis have been using this against targets in the go on our camera back where there are civilians presence now yes by john or thorazine that is absolutely not the case that they dont even possess such weaponry which is a restricted to International Law we know thats not really the case though because both of these sides have been using cluster munitions are also restricted under International Law and both of these sides have been bombing civilian targets with those in the last few weeks lets get an update now from. Whos in as about johns capital bucko. Well the answers have said right from the beginning. Ground and not just a few minutes ago. President actually tweeted that. He was just talking about. Earlier in the day it depends also said that it had intelligence that had moved. Her with. Now accusations have been going in both directions about who is doing what and who is actually breaking national law. By johnny point of view. There have been targeted. 21 people. In the Human Rights Watch issued a statement on. Using exactly. Something that. When it comes to. People killed. That happened a few weeks ago ivory coasts president is urging calm during a tense selection. Seeking controversial. Opponents are calling for a campaign of civil disobedience. People were killed in the ropes the election of some of the so the polling has been. Reports now from a. Well in many parts of ivory coast the voting have been been largely peaceful president Alassane Ouattara voted just a few hours ago and immediately after he said hes proud of let this country to its current democratic status and warned that. The process should not be disrupted he was in particular referring to opposition leaders who called for a boycott and disruptions of the electoral process he said would not be nice what i want to ivory coast needs now is peace he particularly drew the attention of the youth and asked them not to be manipulated but that is not to say that the election went on peacefully throughout ivory coast there were at least a dozen incidents recorded across the country this might was confirmed by the Election Commission which said the commission has made some remarkable progress in addressing some of the issues at stake some of the items or places election places that have been destroyed so currently the election process is going on and vote will close or voting will close in the next 3 and a half or so so so basically its been progressing largely peaceful in many parts of ivory coast but again there are incidents recorded as expected because of the call for by court for boy court as well as campaign of civil disobedience as demanded by some opposition leaders tanzanias 2 leading opposition parties say that they wont recognize the election result after president john legere fully was declared the went up they say that theres been widespread irregularities and the demanding that a new vote be held according to the National Council of the fully 112. 00 and a half 1000000 votes and where the States Election his main challenger got less than 2000000. Voting is underway in georgia the president there was among the 1st to cast her ballot as polls opened with covered by team protections in place voters are getting temperature checks before entering polling stations lets go live now to word george aljazeera from interest in walkers there how has the day gone robin well reference to the corona virus which is now skyrocketing there has still been quite a reasonable turnout and that was after the government tried to reassure voters that they were safer in a polling station than they would be stopping in a supermarket. The the big question is whether or not the government is going to be punished for the way it has handled the pandemic because back in the spring we had about a 1000 cases in georgia. In total and now the cases cases are rising by about a 1000 a day so it skyrocketing it and the question is whether voters will choose to punish or not the governments at the polls. Another exciting thing for the georgian politics is now its looking like its going to be. A much more chloral parliament because of electoral reforms thanks to massive antigovernment protests last year that forced the government to reform the electoral code and introduce proportional representation so its possible that if the government doesnt get enough of the share it could be forced into trying to make a coalition and that would certainly be a thirst for georgia and another 1st if the government clings on and has a 3rd term because that has never happened in history of georgian politics since its the opposition parties and there are many of them now more than 50 hoping that theyre going to make gains that were going to see a very different very diverse Political Landscape in georgia when those results start coming in polling stations due to close in about 25 minutes adrian serious problem for us here walker reporting live from tbilisi any thanks to robin. Iraqi Security Forces have reopened republic bridge and have cleared tuffy a square and back that protesters have been camped out there for over a year demanding that top politicians step down 24. 00 people were arrested during the operation so not a full teen report stuff from back that. Republican bridge in baghdad was opened for the 1st time in a year you can see the traffic once again going over the bridge at least in one direction and of course this bridge had a lot of significance in the protest movement it was the main front line between Security Forces who protected the green zone on the other side of the bridge and the protesters and you can see here the charred concrete blocks that marked the main barricade where protesters faced off with Security Forces and just a few days ago there were clashes on top of this bridge with protesters throwing molotov cocktails at Security Forces injuring over 200. 00 in the span of just a few days and of course the Security Forces also responding with tear gas and stun grenades also injuring several protesters now the Security Forces now control Tahrir Square which is just at the end of the bridge and we understand from the Security Forces that they were able to enter the square without any opposition after they negotiated an agreement of the demonstrators came to your question or argue some of this was done in coordination with the protests and through direct amounts for them for the Security Forces to be present in the square as well as to revive and return to life in reconstruction in this area into reopen the shops the Peaceful Protesters reported some gangs to the Security Forces who targeted the protesters and Security Forces and who were engaged in drugs kidnapping and stealing and i repeat this happened in cooperation and support with the help of protesters since the morning Security Forces have been removing all of the cans in Tahrir Square some of the protesters told us that they agreed to do so citing disillusionment with the lack of the results achieved by the protest movement one year on and also to prevent what they call infiltration by various armed groups and parties who attempted to hijack this protest movement but others told us that they did not agree to remove their tents but that they were forced to do so we shall have 70 of our reaction will be peaceful you dont have the noble goal we fought for if you did you will not remove my 10 by force if you want me to take my tent down fulfill my demands and i will leave now. Where is it recognizable compared to october 20th when thousands of people rallied here to commemorate the 1st Year Anniversary of the protests but this operation effectively. Whether. To achieve their demands james bond actor sean connery has died at the age of 90. He started to play double 07 in 1962. His career he went on to win an Academy Award 2 bafta and 3 Golden Globes the scottish actor was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in the year 2000 for his services to film and although he called one of the proudest days of his life Richard Fitzwilliams is a pretty cultural commentator he says that Sean Connerys james bond had no comparison. I think he was the james bond who had the most impact in the publics mind it was those you could say rather mindless but certainly in new all asleep popular and very lucrative films dr no being the 1st from russia with love goldfinger and tumble which is in fact the most successful bond for more time i mean he had a remarkable career sean connery was the nearest i would say the scottish have to 20 and 21st century naff and National Hero he was very good at playing rough tough adventurous who did the sin the man who would be king he did the sin the wind of the law there will split us tonight a whole city is allusion one to read of to his oscar winning performance as the cop in the untouchables it has to be said his lavish accident was voted the worst accident ever even dykes cut in mary poppins but he was a screen presence and not unrecognizable but people thought they could relate to him i mean he grew up in an edinburgh tenement he was in the navy he was a model he came up the hard way and you could play rough tough bro brilliantly.

Of early a mail in votes in the u. S. State of texas has now passed the total number of votes cast there during the 2016 election with 3 days to go more than 9000000 texans a voted its the 2nd states after hawaii to break its records across the country will. An 85000000 people voted early setting the u. S. On course for its biggest turnout in over a century lets go live now to washington out of cirrus alan fischer is there for a solid 3 days to go with so much at stake neither of the 2 main candidates is taking it easy this saturday. No i just think its been 4 years weve been talking about this election almost since donald trump was sworn in as the 44th president and a little over 72 hours it will all be over so what can we expect in those last 3 days well we can expect rallies and insults donald trump hitting the campaign trail again for rallies planned in pennsylvania for him he thinks this is going to be a key state and in particular the northeast part of pennsylvania believing that just a few 1000 voters could swing the entire election as for joe biden well hes got a number of events lined up he was out on friday 3 Campaign Events on friday thats more than hes done it any point since he was started running for president particularly during the corporate crisis he will be in michigan in the next couple of hours campaigning with barack obama his or boston someone who can still electrify a crowd and remember in michigan when we talk about the number of voters that can make a difference donald trump won the state by about 17000 votes 4 years ago so you can see that both parties believe that every vote can count they dont try to spin speaking before heading off to pennsylvania here a couple of quick couple of comments to the media joint base andrews he said that he was expecting a red wave which means that he expects republicans to do well right across the board and certainly hell be looking at a poor that is come out from arizona in the last couple of hours which has for the 1st time given him a lead in this state thats enough for Trump Campaign officials to say this is happening and they believe that they are turning round the race the way they did in 2016 youll remember that just before the election Hillary Clinton was ahead in most of the polls most people thought that she was going to when that is why the Biden Campaign are protecting again. Complacency they are saying every vote counts everyone must get out it cant be a case of sitting back thinking joe biden has got this youve actually got to go and cast your vote so its going to be an interesting 72 hours donald trump still fighting against the idea that corporate is spreading in the United States even though there was a Record Number of cases reported on friday joe biden continue to make the case that this is a battle for the saw all of the nation and the november the 3rd the people will get to decide which one they believe deserves alan fischer live in washington thanks allen look western of law and order has been one of the central themes of this years us president ial Election Campaign and it matters more than ever after a summer of discontent and protest against Police Brutality and systemic racism mike hanna has more now from wilmington delaware. In the u. S. Its been a year of living dangerously particularly for African Americans who have disproportionately borne the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic and it will be far more likely to be victims of Police Action than their white fellow citizens. The killing of george floyd just one case of brutality that galvanized protesters across the nation people of all colors banding together and to be a brillo of the black lives movement. One candidate to embrace the movement and all it stood for. The other rejected it. Many of those who are spreading violence in our cities are supporters of an Organization Called the black lives matter b. L. O. Soul. Its really its really hurting the black community to the black the president of the United States some African American conservatives who share the support in get that at the white house at the presidency but taishan wearing blue to show their support to the police and the signature writ caps to show the support of the president there are people all around the country that support this president because he supports law and order its that simple and some insists that the white crowds that double trumps rallies did not show the whole picture. A lot of blacks support and want to support and will support and vote for president donna truong but they dont want to be called a sellout by you in favor of law and order im in favor of law you follow he would be able to order a new article as somebody who has been friends a lot in front of all these ordinances logon to other letter and your in order with justice where people get treated fairly and biden contends that the president is a source of the very violent people poults to condemn fires are burning we have a president who fanned the flames rather than fighting the flames but we must not burn we have to build this president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he cant stop the violence because for years hes formatted. Biden said dos mint is not unconditional riding is not protest lutein is not protesting setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protest its lawlessness plain and simple. The black lives Matter Movement has been the single most powerful invisible force during this Election Year the question only the result at the polls will answer is whether this energy is translated into affecting political as well as social trends. Mike hanna al jazeera wilmington delaware where suspense is professor of Political Science and African Studies at Johns Hopkins university he joins us now via skype from minneapolis minnesota good to have you with us again professor not since the 1960 s. As the u. S. Going into a president ial election with such social unrest across right across the country to what extent have protesters shaped this election. So if you think about it black folk are the disproportionate victims of state violence and a form of policing they have been the disproportionate victims of act economic violence as far as rising inequality and theyve been the disproportionate victims of the kobe pandemic i personally know 12 people who died of covert obla are actually concentrated in predominately black cities i think what protestors have done is actually at least 2 things one is theyve really galvanized black and other folks and really really articulated the stakes of this election really really clearly but then also what theyve done is theyve moved organizers both within the Democratic Party and even people who i mean people like Le Bron James like basketball players you never would you know you would necessary think of them as being organizers to mobilize and galvanize the black vote and other voters as well and it looks like. Mail in voting this year is going to take the turn out to to record levels to want to attribute that to that early voting is it can lead to pandemic people not wanting to go out on polling day itself stand in line and wait to cast their vote or is there Something Else a play here. So it is the pandemic is is really worth every story you are tell about this election about this presidency you have to focus 230000 people dead thats 3 times the number of deaths you had in the vietnam war that by the end of the year we may have as many deaths in the United States from covert as we had there are world war 2 so thats part of it but the other part is people actually being mobilized again by range of different facts folks both within the Democratic Party and outside of it you noted earlier texas are has actually had i think as many people vote in mail in ballots as they had cast in regular votes in all of 26 text and 2016 and we havent even gotten to tuesday yet so i think there is this wave of support who are really really trying to push people to the polls and who is that mail in vote in the early voting benefiting which which party is it the president or or is it as a joe biden well i fit right now it looks to be supporting biden theyre disproportionately democrats though in states like florida it looks like we see an uptick to Republican Voters the challenge on the republican and is Republican Voters are facing mixed messages on the one hand theyre being told by the president that voting by mail is illegitimate and doesnt really count and on the other hand theyre being told by local organizers that they really should get to the polls so i think that makes messaging is going to really really affect republican turnout and i think that what theyre going to have to rely on is high turnout on the on tuesday itself in order to kind of deal with this groundswell best been developed in part by a black protest but to what extent have these these protests encouraged people to vote this year who who didnt vote in 26 ino perhaps not as i act of participants in the countrys electoral system. So i think now if we focus only on black voters im not sure whether we can answer that question fully like we do know that there have been more older black voters voting now about in the mail in ballots and what theyll likely be more black older voters when all is said and done than there were in 2060 but Younger Voters im not sure but if we actually extended so we think about those protests what really struck me about the various protest after the pandemic is how many people how the protests were disproportionately actually white so when we think about the protester effect if we just think about black voters what were missing is all those folks some 1st time voters who are coming to the polls who may not be blood but dont believe but are but actually are antiracist in a number of different ways and they will want to see trump actually done in part because of this racism could still to get professor many thanks indeed for being with us Lester Spence the professor of Political Science and African Studies at Johns Hopkins university countries across europe continue to try to contain a shop rise in corona virus infections poland has recorded nearly 22000 new cases on saturday and its only field hospitals are being set up to deal with the influx of people falling ill have recorded its highest increase in daily infections on friday up more than 31000. 00 greece has become the latest european nation to impose widespread restrictions brahmanist course its attack is says that most bars and restaurants will have to close for november and nighttime curfew will also be expanded and the u. K. s Prime Minister Boris Johnson will address the nation in a few hours time it follows reports from british Media Outlets that the new national law down may be brought in a soon as next week. Well johnson had hoped that a new test and trace system would have eased the crisis there but its performing at an all time low a senior clinician has told of his era that mismanagement is to blame here as Andrew Symonds reports now from the north of england to control. Testing and tracing has become a new way of life testing and tracing cost 51. 00 half 1000000000. 00 to set up 40 Management Consultants who are paid up to 9000. 00 a day to make it work what are they doing what are they doing what they like to come and sit with a few clinical case workers this caltech traits or an experience clinician says mismanagement or doctor staffing are among the litany of issues she faces so much rested on test and trace do you think its failed its increasingly failing.
