Picture in his challenger joe biden tells merican that was the time to end the kale.

Hello im terry margin good to have you with us 4 people have been killed and more than a dozen wounded in what the us austrian government is calling an islamist terror attack a gunman opened fire at multiple locations in the center of vienna on monday Evening Police say they shot and killed one attacker and are hunting one or more assailants still at large. Panic on the streets of vienna the shooting began around 8 pm and Police Quickly flooded the city center it was an unseasonably warm evening and bars and restaurants were crowded ahead of a partial lockdown beginning tuesday gunman opened fire at least 6 locations the 1st reports came from the of the citys main synagogue it was closed at the time but a rabbi watched the horror unfold from his window. I saw the attacker running into various interest rooms. Or the street. And people running away. To attack us chasing them or to street they were shooting at least 100 rounds just before the program. Police sealed off the city center urging people to stay away and remain indoors. Last night we experienced an attack by at least one islam is terrorist. Is a situation we havent had to experience in austria for decades. So i did same. Oath or if hes told parents not to send their children to school on tuesday if possible further attacks cant be ruled out he seemed. Very well equipped they have automatic weapons on a very professionally for parents that as Police Continue their search the army has been brought in to god key locations additional checks are in place at the borders and the fee is that one or more heavily armed suspects could already be far from the austrian capital. Our correspondent Paris Bennett is in vienna and joins us now very austrias interior minister is calling this an islamist terrorist attack what more can you tell us. Well tony bennett levy of the ots had been able to identify this alleged attacker who was shot dead last evening but no details have been given out about his identity the police have been saying that given the Current Situation and given the fact that this is still an active incident providing details of that would not be. All the cause name of the indian minister of australia did say that this was a radicalized busson who was an i. A. S. Sympathise a sympathizer of old islamic state. And the argument a residence was created by police teams but beyond that what they found at that residence and what led them to that president s none of those details have been provided by police now police been able to determine for sure whether there was one or more attackers its been suggested that one or more assailants could still be on the loose. This is very much an active incident study and it is the message that is coming from authorities thats coming from being the police its coming from you know straining to know minister. In the night we suspect it is at least one other attack on the run when this incident began. Last evening the suspicion was that there could be up to 5 more attackers on the run but that numbers only friend down to at least one through the night in fact is these options that the authorities appear out to be walking with and that is certainly the message that is coming if it is one of the aca who is on the run which is why you have a huge police force this instant by the army and other kinds of experts out of the streets again not particularly in the in a district in the in a city where this. Is a bit attacked happens this feeds trying to find this location authorities are also mentioned that they have received offers of help from germany from hungary and from other. Socalled understand in austria. I must be very distressing for the people of vienna the attack very should took place near a synagogue i understand do you have any details about who exactly was being targeted in this attack. This exactly is also a question that has come up in the various briefings that have been held through the night but also a lot of these locked and going to down to one but you can watch of and ventouse. Reasonably understandable considering that at least 6 locations. To within literally walking slash running distance from each other the synagogue there on which this attack took place was closed in the evening when this attack occurred it is perhaps put into look at the timing of the attack this attack occurred in the evening just about 4 hours before austria essentially went into another coronavirus walk on which is why oz and restaurants of which there are many in this particular in a district these files the rest of book packed with people and there potentially that could explain the timing of this attack there is thank you very much for brains up to date there that was our correspondent barry bannan g. In vienna well today sees one of the most anticipated and polarized u. S. President ial elections ever takes place amid record early voting in a campaign marred by the president s allegations of foul play on the eve of the election donald trump and his democrat challenger joe biden made their final pitch to voters trump in a whirlwind tour of 4 swing states telling voters he would win again despite polls predicting his defeat remember what i said 4 years ago i am your voice added we will all together make America Great again thats what were doing is wrong weve done. This time stared up to take back our caucus we get do this we could be bending over that. Youre on. Your. Very well with me in the studio now is the w. s chief International EditorRichard Walker richard good to see you again you were in the us covering the election 4 years ago whats different about it this time yeah well i mean i think there are 2 main things that i would pull out there terry the 1st of all is the obvious one is the affecting the entire planet at the moment that is of course the pandemic and this is had a massive impact on both the nature of the campaign you know i mean American Election campaigns usually this kind of traveling circus with 2 rival traveling circus is huge numbers of a vent in person offense where people want to go and meet the candidate and really almost like a kind of a celebrate or a atmosphere on both sides obviously thats been massively toned down you know the number of real in person events taking place particularly on the democratic side on the scale of them has been really scaled back but also in the aspect of the coronavirus kind of putting into even sharper relief the fact that this election is a referendum on the presidency of donald trump which it was inevitably going to be off to 4 years of this kind of president but it puts that really into sharper relief because his handling of the pandemic has been so controversial so theres the pandemic on the other one side and then on the other side you just briefly referred to it in the introduction that is the sense about the integrity of the result on certainty about the result now there is a good chance that this time tomorrow were not going to know the result of this election a lot of very important states a very close. Theres been a large amount of early voting city by post a lot of those votes will not be counted by this time tomorrow morning and this opens up the possibility of there being legal challenges to kind of a long drawn out count in key states like. Pennsylvania for example that could mean that we have a couple of weeks or even longer of not knowing the result next week really destabilizing 4 years ago the u. S. Was already polarized you could see it in the election the but now things are off the scale did you see coming for years i think unfortunately you could only anticipate that really and if you look at this polarization its a trend that goes back quite a long way really i mean you could chart it back at least to the 1990 say the period where you have bill clinton in the white house you can bridge in congress that began this really kind of deep phase of polarization eyes think were still in now and 2016 sort of felt like it had of a new low for that obviously with the arrival of a very polarizing figure donald trump i remember many of the rallies that i went to the Trump Supporters in the crowd chanting look her up talking about Hillary Clinton as is the rival. That was very deep but of course what weve got on top of that now is that weve had 4 years of trump in the presidency which means that the 2 sides everyone is even more entrenched in the positions that they were in then Trump Supporters feel like they fought every fight with him and trumps bitterest opponents really feel like this is an absolutely crucial moment for the country to get rid of someone who theyve grown to despise its. Whats quite interesting is in the middle of all of this you have joe biden who is in himself hes not really a particularly polarizing figure which you see in the nature of the attacks coming from the trump side theyre not often not actually directed at him they directed his son or at the left of the Democratic Party he himself is not a polarizing figure so i think whats going to be crucial to this result is whether i can own a lack of polarizing character isnt. Nonsense to him because it helps him draw in kind of support votes is from the middle what remains of the middle independent voters or whether it may weaken him by lacking that total mobilization of the left has a right richard thank you so much for your insights search chief International EditorRichard Walker. Just at home in the u. S. The donald trump divides opinion with his america 1st policies and his brush style on the diplomatic stage trump has also polarized opinion outside the u. S. People around the world who they hoped would come out on top in the selection. Of government wins because i really see him as a patriotic past and his interest is in his country and not in politics or trying to do something to benefit to self. But official by the military i wouldnt like donald trump to win because his immigration policies are very strict and he separating many families for the moment being i know that biden is ahead of trump but it doesnt mean anything like last time hillary was ahead but still won so i can only hope and pray that trump will not have a 2nd term i suppose because im a businessman. The country you need to be a businessman i dont think trump is going to sway because jumping out of guns. And i dont. I hope that democracy prevails and the majority for this is. Whatever it may be when we do. Come elections were getting a new president theres a bill and then taught us the same. America relationship. Class. Issues relating to older middle east some problems which is already important so im not gone being gone or trampled riveting because i dont think your vision is anywhere close to winning and the kind of walk of done for america thats been greets if you dont hear from i hope really that dump loses big time i think he should write a book on how to destroy a country in 40 years or 100 destroy a country in 40 years which is what hes done i dont care who wins the americans in the business. I dont have expectations i just hope the relationship between the u. S. And china will be peaceful luis and that you dont sit down youre not sure in terms of politics not many thing taiwan can benefit more if trump wins you know turn to defiance in kind now white house because hes more than now what would he tends to balance china. It doesnt matter who wins who are predictable and a bit since we know that u. S. President s are just puppets who speak in a strange noise so i have no expectations of them but the mutual.
