They say that its important for them to meet in person its important for them to talk directly to find solutions to problems and to agree on issues that are contentious and they point to one example to the summit in mid july were after intensive talks they were able to agree on a 1. 8 trillion the budget and recovery front however we have to say that they are facing growing criticism because this summit is taking place only 2 weeks off to the last summit and of course people ordinary citizens are asking themselves why are why half their leaders to come together why while the people are facing more and more restrictions and a quick look at the latest coronavirus developments happening here in Europe Germany is warning against nonessential travel to france the netherlands malta and slovakia as infections in those countries explode israel is relaxing a new lockdown thats been in place for the past month daycare and preschools will open again from sunday as well natural parks and beaches and the head of the World Health OrganizationsEurope Office is urging governments to be quote uncompromising in controlling the virus he said most of the spread is happening because people are ignoring safety rules.

President donald trump and democratic challenger joe biden are set to hold live televised events tonight at the same time on different channels biden scheduled his town hall in place of the 2nd debate which was set for today but then canceled after trump refused to do it online the debate organizers made that change after trump was hospitalized for coronavirus now not to be outdone trump has planned his own event taking place at the same exact time as bidens so with just 3 weeks until election day polls show by that with a strong lead and millions of people have already voted early by may. Lets get more on all of that with all of our solid in washington hey oliver so what can we expect from these competing events tonight. Well william as youve laid it out its a new form and something that we have never seen before Sol Joe Biden taking questions from a presenter from a host and at the same time President Trump taking his questions in a different t. V. Show at a Different Network so its not going to be this traditional televised debate where both answer to the same questions by the same holes weve seen how that turned out in the 1st round very chaotic lee there is lots of criticism right now for trump who just on wednesday so yesterday announced that he would be delivering a town hall event at the same time that joe biden delivers his town hall also the network n. B. C. You broadcast trumps version of tonights event is taking a lot of the blame for choosing for choosing that same time slot for not doing it a day earlier or hours earlier or later and that leaves a lot of voters in limbo right now because they essentially have to decide for either one of the candidates and a lot of those voters have already voted or at least made up their minds so what exactly do trump and biden need to a cheat from these town halls tonight. Well they do have the chance to make their points to show what they stand for politically what their visions are for the country to move forward and again this did not happen in the 1st t. V. Debate that was perceived as a historic low point in fact in the history of president ial debates trump took a lot of blame here for constantly interrupting both sides insulting each other at some point so now all they have the chance to show what they stand for the big question with. Tonight and especially because of the nature of this format that were going to be looking at is who of the 2 candidates will have the better ratings and all trouble certainly look to capitalize on that should he have those better ratings so we have to watch his twitter channel for sure after the debate or after the event should say hes done right so the polls nationwide and in various important swing states are showing biden with pretty commanding leads how is that affecting the campaigns and what they are doing these last few weeks before the election well joe biden has gained momentum youre right especially in the last 2 weeks but we have to be careful here they are both of them of course are continuing to be on the complaint trail there were some bad news for the Biden Campaign because several members of the campaign especially is close to coming to her as the Vice President ial candidate tested positive on the coronavirus she suspended her events joe biden continues to campaign but we have to be careful with that lead because as you know in 2016 Hillary Clinton lead by 2 digit points and in the end it all comes down to the Electoral College so we have to be careful with the National Polling here and theres still a lot that can happen in the last weeks until the election and youll be with it for it all thanks very much oliver sally in washington.

Hello im christine one day its good to have your Company President ial elections in guinea all set for this coming sunday incumbent president alpha conde is going for a 3rd term the 82 year old became the countrys 1st democratically elected leader in 2010 bringing hopes of progress soft ideas of dictatorship and military rule he says he needs more time to finish big projects guineas constitution has a 2 term limit for president s but in a march referendum voters approved changes to the constitution that conde argues reset the clock on his presidency the opposition says its illegal for conde to run they also accuse him of using deadly force to crackdown on dissent. Taking it to the street the opposition says president out for calm day has been in power too long and shouldnt even be running the last year the clashes erupted one conde said he planned to run for a 3rd term dozens died in a government crackdown. But a referendum boycotted by the opposition approved an amended constitution earlier this year that created the Legal Framework for him to run again. Conde is guineas 1st democratically elected president and a former dissident himself he claims its the opposition who represent oppressive policy its. His rival salute the yellow rose to Prime Minister under the previous authoritarian government the 2 are backed by different ethnic groups and the ilo has accused the incumbent of exploiting ethnic tensions but conde says his Political Party is for everyone hes just a man of the people and denies he uses his authority against his opponents. Yet we are proud of our independence and sovereignty and i do what the people of guinea want. This i told my activists i dont want violence i dont want you throwing stones insulting people dont block the roads. But. Opposition leader diallo says thats just what happened he claims barriers were set up to block him and his supporters. Unfortunately our folk on the day decided that i should not go strutting around in his strongholds and so all arrangements were made to her event me from accessing that its great city.

Expect each and every one actually to be behind him because they know him that he can deliver but also he has also another challenge there are people who see who see him as someone who challenged corruption because anything that happened during the rule of us on our country is action to this opposition politician ok fred as we heard in our report. President conde and mr taylor they are backed by rival ethnic groups how is this likely going to play into the election. I mean this its a biggest challenge now in guinea because. The hells from. Any group then. Theres also the. Opposition figure. Comes from a part of. These people who are very they have been tough language they have used hate language and actually the International Community and some genius. Son that if anything goes wrong if they rule any side if they do so theyre afraid that actually there might erupt is Serious Violence in the contrary but the u. N.

The lakes of kenyas rift valley are rising inundating homes and businesses water levels have been swimming for his but are particularly high this year following heavy rains to make matters worse 2 lakes lake but will and lake korea which you can see on the map here have grown so much that they run the risk of merging together but lake corey is a save one lake while lake but ingle is a freshwater lake providing Drinking Water to animals and people it would be an ecological disaster if the 2 lakes meet.

Folks are to a guide grew up on the shores of this leak work has been scarce as most of the hotels are now underwater its he leads us to one of many flooded schools in the area just leaving a year youve seen all decaying buildings. But our last story is the most significant for folks i grew up here my foster until years of life i spent a year this was my playground its quite sad to see it drop going through and i dont know what im going to tell my kids scientists are warning that freshwater lake baringo and salt water leak could manage the cross contamination would destroy the balance in the ecosystem. To understand what is happening to the lakes we head to the forest home to the rivers that feed the lakes in the rift valley mo forest is recovering from years of deforestation. David weston has been a conservationist for more than 50 years he says the destruction of the catchment areas is just one in a series of linked problems the pastoral people are settling down and staying in one place so what that means is every single day you have heavy grazing and that is really prominent around the baringo basin up in the hills on the side so all of that erosion has been washed off routinely so in 2018 we had rainfall which was the equivalent of el nino in 1908 then followed last year by these extraordinary rains which have continued for a whole year so that means that predation huge amount of runoff and siltation and its the combination of those 2 that have made these rift valley lakes and even other areas like amber sally just lift 10 sometimes 15 metres thanks back in bulgaria a strong drink.

Take a look at what else is making fashion from senegal so popular. This is the real business our. Welcome to the program the European Union says its up to the u. K. To budge if a post trade deal is to be reached among the e. U. Leaders meeting in brussels there was an atmosphere of cautious optimism that an agreement could be reached in the coming weeks however the suggestion that the britain to give ground has irritated the fritz a chief negotiator david frost tweeted that he was disappointed by the use approach to the negotiations. Or Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has warned the European Union that the u. K. Would be willing to walk away from talks altogether as a prospect we put to maria de met sister director of the brussels based think tank bruegel. Some of it might be political expediency posturing by the men at the end of the day if you are a Prime Minister youre looking after the best of the country you really do want a deal i dont think i can see a world in which you can do better otherwise as so i have you know the chaos might ensue if we dont get a deal but i think that all everything will be done on both sides to actually get something even if its small and in fact it will have to be small in the sense that it will be the confines for something that we can build on in later years one u. K. Sector desperately hoping for a dale is the automotive sector comic is and supplies in the u. K. Are closely linked to their consummate continental European Partners most companies are already expecting an increase in paperwork but additional tariffs could put companies out of business. This machinery has come to a standstill for now car parts supplier good fish has no use for it in the u. K. Anymore chief executive Greg Mcdonald plans to send it all off to slovakia thats where he says his companys future so who are these are the machines ive got mothballed ready to go all the lorry off to Central Eastern europe into a factory but i havent got yet but if i had it. Good fish makes plastic components for the Auto Industry in britain and europe brecks it has shaken up its Business Model the companys u. K. Production has already been scaled back if next year sees delays at the border with the e. U. It will be fatal for its just in time manufacturing operation. If one part is missing from a call all the calls have to come off the production line and it very quickly becomes an impossible process if the part of the rod to start runs down and then it runs out on the line stop. So. You dont need much to go wrong. British car makers are already suffering investments have dropped 80 percent in the last 3 years much of the u. K. Car industry could die out without a Free Trade Agreement with the e. U. Besides delays at the borders thered be high tariffs as well. I think the u. K. Rules will see its kind of premium and luxury and continue in the future the kind of made in british element a rolls royce or bell is important but in terms of the mass industry you know if you think about nissan or toy or vauxhall which is owned by persia many of those plants actually export most of their production to the you know in the event of no deal and Tariff Barriers theres a question mark about whether that is viable so the mass scale industry could actually down the line disappear. Good fish is planning to move its car parts production to eastern europe. Jaguar land rover a Major Customer has already opened a large planted it slovakian subsidiary. And Greg Mcdonald has been there looking for factory space for his company. Lose some equipment over there hard people are already been speaking to agencies of really got a team of people out there who would like to go. Im aware of those they read about us by googling new came out of factory moving just lucky if. A free trade deal with the e. U. Would make many jobs in britain more secure not just that good fish but throughout the Auto Industry.
