A Game Changing Distribution Plan for next year and has fans rejoicing and cinema owners down in the dumps. Im told me a lot of boy its good to have you with us venezuela will hold parliamentary elections on sunday but the opposition is boycotting the vote called by president Nicolas Maduro Opposition Leader and head of the National Assembly one guy claims the polls will be rigged to strengthen the duros grip on power this follows years of time all that have seen venezuela become increasingly isolated and desperate. An epic predawn line for gasoline in venezuela shortages widespread hunger broken down institutions all made worse by International Sanctions yet despite it all president Nicolas Maduro has clung to power his nemesis speaker of the assembly and selfproclaimed president won by doe now working from home 37 years old hes made a career out of denouncing maduros policies hes organized the National Referendum after the vote aimed at invalidating the upcoming elections. Of action called by the dictatorship will be held without any of the necessary conditions theres no right to elect and be elected no independent arbitrator no possibility of a free participation by Political Parties. But his call for a referendum has split and already weakened opposition as it could not but at the not participating in these elections is not only suicide but also an irresponsible attitude to the suffering of the venezuelan people. There is nothing to decide because all the competitors were chosen by the regime. So who are you going to allow them to. Then israel has been in political crisis since the disputed election in 2018 that son Nicolas Maduro win by a wide margin most of the International Community including the us and the European Union said the election was not free or fair they took quite os side as Assembly Speaker he was next in line to be president under the venezuelan constitution standoff followed quite oh held mass rallies and attracted International Backing but he failed to convince the military and madeira stayed on. Since then material has consolidated power sidelining the National Assembly and installing a parallel legislative house filled by loyalists. Meanwhile go. I dozed popularity and influence have shrunk dramatically some coming election is likely his last stand up big win by my dear rose ruling party which is almost guaranteed warming is no longer speaker that will leave without any serious competition. Bangladesh has started moving refugees to a camp on a recently formed island that critics say is vulnerable to psych loans and dangerous flooding almost a 1000000 ranger live in crowded camps on the mainland the United Nations says no refugees should be moved against their will many have pinned their hopes on what bangladesh says will be a better situation. 3 hours on a navy vessel brought these ranger refugees to an isolated island off the coast of bangladesh this will be their new home at least for a while they have been on the move for years seeking safety since fleeing myanmar now they have been shipped to another uncertain situation. Where. We are not citizens of any country so we are moving to work over there are more facilities for us. We were not happy at the camps we heard from seniors as well as the television that we will get more from the facilities. On the island of passion shar this camp built by the Bangladeshi Navy can house 100000 people the silt island formed just 20 years ago critics say the low lying land mass is prone to flooding and dangerous cyclons. Some families say their relatives are being moved there against their will. Love their 1st thing my son and his family to go he didnt want to go but they forced him i came to see him probably for the last time. C anyone if my family goes to the island they will die because of the floods. Bangladeshi Authorities Say all relocations are voluntary and that the new facilities are better than in the currently overcrowded mainland camps on the island flood defenses have been built to keep back threats from rising seas but so far no independent inspectors have been allowed to view facilities. The United Nations Refugee Agency is demanding urgent access to see if the island is safe for habitation. Which is return to the story in venezuela were covering. Latin america correspondent youre running or is joins us from bogota good to see you is there any marriage in one claim that the election will be rigged. This look we had just 2 to see the. Beloved mother of being the date of this election and he chose the electoral authorities he chose the candidates because the opposition didnt want to participate in this election and then Nicolas Maduro dismissed the leaders of the opposition parties and then his new leaders close to each of these more they decided to go to this election and they are forcing even people to vote we heard this week where you know the 2nd man in. Regina he was saying that people who want to vote want to eat they are going to have to give food to people who want to vote he even said that those who want vote are going into a hunger quarantine so it shows how they are using food to put pressure on the population so in short maduro chose the electoral authorities he chose the candidates they are forcing people to vote is that a for election i think we have the answer. Has called for a boycott of the election and hes also organized his own referendum instead what is that a change. He wants to ask 3 question to the people 1st if they want a new goal of mother or to leave power 2nd even if they recognize there were celts often next sunday election and then it before they won him to ask the International Community to activate every mechanism to get out of power those are questions that he has already asked to fund as well and so i think that at the end of the day this consultation he wants just with. His style leaderships that he needs to do it especially right now when he has lost so much popularity and so much credibility in the country speaking of his legitimacy each if goes ahead with this boycott what does this mean for his status as the leader of venezuelas opposition. He. Said he has lost so much of popularity and credibility bats in this situation it seems like hes the only person who could lead the opposition because if he cant he counts on the International Community support he still recognize the by more than 50 countries around the world president often as well so i knew neither should the have the same support the need is something very difficult to do i see it especially in this moment where everybody is just thinking about the pandemic so even the critical situation and even how dramatically he has lost the Popular Support in venezuela he looks like the only option for the opposition. Ok well have to leave it there for now to talk to correspondent. Thank you.

In a region he sets with Security Issues ghana is viewed by many as a beacon of hope and stability but he shoes such as corruption and unemployment have been me headache for many gun ians like sonny brought him.

With general elections disagree he has been monitoring whats kind of its promising until creation. And ive been hearing it from the people. Who create opportunities for the people to work and then in comes through. Or the companies with all the parties are saying that yes ive been promising that 12 candidates are running for president in the december 7 elections but the 2 leading candidates are the incumbent president in a row and the Opposition Leader the expresident John Muhammad. Campaigned for the 2020 general elections have largely taken place on vetch up platforms with social media playing a key role in it due to the coronavirus pandemic but that has not stopped well its chapattis from holding huge gatherings ignoring safety protocols president to do has edged for tesco to keep him in power so he can do more for them swati b.

New part of the party we always provided they need a College Leadership and when the party lines its mine 1st do you have it would be without the. Leadership of. Helping to protect the games with me or me as being a message to that would be. The position candidates and former president John Muhammad is also hopeful of victory or order despite to say the governments hasnt done enough to deserve another 4 years. Every single country who want to avoid this shock from coming to question. Pressure that is being done to the people by dont come with the election and feel is the salvation. For the mission because the meeting would be new for me to. See this yes campaign has been issued be used with voters expect it to consider policies of parties in deciding who to vote for. The survey that we put out there said i wouldnt you know theres evidence that people are much more i wear and much money knowledge of the Political Parties ministers and their messages than that they will have had in the past and of course the media engagement has been very intense. Sonny will be voting in the election whats my test most to him do this for the we know to get him he could fix the countrys economic challenges. Joining me now is dr conkling head of the center for Public Discourse analysis and electra are the guys at use of journalism now we just saw a report about on unemployed gunmen how big an issue is that and how are the candidates addressing it. Unemployment is a really huge issue in ghana as of now unemployment is about 12 percent in general and youth unemployment about 50 percent so this really really huge unemployment is higher. Done in the rule areas and i can tell you that there is. A lot of young people are concerned about and people across the country are concerned about. Unemployment. Among the top factor in this election and what kind of date saying about that. Well for the m. D. C. That is the Opposition Party does the challenger John Dramani Mahama is that kind of dig for the National Democratic congress does the biggest Opposition Party and hes saying that hes going to. Bring about 1000000 jobs when he becomes president and that money fest he calls the. Language and soon he is calling part of the project that will bring about a job that big push and hes saying that in the big push infrastructure and the policies that youll be doing would help to bring about 1000000 jobs for the n. P. P. The new pictures of parts which is the incumbent party leader no not done quite a while the president then ive gone he is saying that he will continue with the policies that hes done that will bring about that will bring about a lot of employment in full food and jobs the National Builders call program that hes planning to do ok there are lots of other major issues with the current president and former president how hard the corruption allegations against him how will that be a determining factor in this election here if you want to look at the wind direction of a dummy an election one of the big things apart from jobs is corruption people hate it and one. Option is hung on your neck its probably the death nail so corruption is a big scene its come up really strongly in the last 2 weeks after the special prosecutor released he was his report on the deal so more option is really up there in this particular election and i dont see that is going to be one of the deciding factor now looking forward to the d. D. In previous elections theres been pockets of violence here and there is not something we should be concerned about. Absolutely especially because weve had a consensus about vigilantism in ghana over the past 4 years this has been one of if you had one of the biggest things that has characterized the new government it is that vigilantism so important that the powers the vigilantism and related offenses act 21999 thats how important it is. Weve seen that there has been some violence in their recently held elections so there are legitimate concerns about vigilantism and conflict and violence in this article a election ok now how will the 19 pandemic influence the elections in any way here which huge their eyelids have been banned by the government so we dont have the traditional rallies as weve seen it which means that one more variable factor has come into the picture the party which is. Campaign and sell itself despite 1000. 00 go around it is the party which is going to make headway weve seen the m. P. P. Do virtual rallies weve seen the n. D. P. Use Facebook Facebook live events and so many are they will be 2 weeks whats up and soon i do think that as Marshall Mcluhan said the medium is the message and in this particular election the medium or on call the one thing is going to be a determining factor ok 10 seconds is this election too close to call or what there be a 1st round clear winner if there is any election which is too close to call it is this particular election because theyve been just too many things that have happened close to election day that will tend to tilt the balance ok for the brief their dog. Had of the center for Public Discourse analysis on lecture on how the gun owners of journalism made things for a time. Lets take a look at some other stories making news across the continent is south African Panel investigating alleged state corruption under former president jacob zuma the countrys constitutional courts to compel him to testify zoom out walked out of the Panel Last Month after i had rejected his request to have that poseidon judge we want to recuse.

S. 1st created only half as many jobs last month as expected its yet another clear sign that the pandemics impact on the American Economy isnt going away because for congress to agree a rescue package getting louder and louder also on the program which is at the center of the white houses battle with huawei the deal see the tech firms chief Financial Officer number one joe on her way back to china 2 years after her arrest in canada. And were also in uganda where like in many african countries the sheer cost of getting online is stifling entrepreneurs hopes of becoming the next internet tycoon. This is the real business and robots in berlin welcome to the program. Theyve been described as grim by incoming President Joe Biden the latest u. S. Jobs figures show the worsening coronavirus pandemic continues to take its toll on the economy employers added just 245000. 00 jobs last month around half of what economists had expected its a significant step down from the more than 600000. 00 jobs gained in october and marks the 5th month of slowing. Growth president elect biden says it shows the need for urgent economic stimulus. Lets cross to act correspondent in new york yen skoda ans good to see you so just explain to us whats behind these disappointing figures yeah i mean disappointing is correct if you look at the expectations im not sure if i would call them grim because 245000 new jobs is not better it was the 7th consecutive months that we saw a job gain but yes growth is slowing and thats the problem and theres still almost about 11000000 americans being considered unemployed one reason by the way it was all saw that the census and of here in the United States all there for thousands of jobs were not there anymore and then clearly all the infection rates in the u. S. Clearly alarming and we see the measures accordingly by stakes the states and communities and so that was definitely also a big reason why a job growth is slowing and if we look ahead to the winter months actually might continue to slow. And stick with us because i just want to show you something because joe biden says that these figures show the need for stimulus while congress has been struggling to pass a common 1000 relief bill however Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has told reporters that an acceptable compromise is now on the table its a good product its not everything we want dont get me wrong i dont like the republicans to think that we that this is a dream come true and if not but it is a path forward so yes it is their optimism that a deal is there to be done. I believe it when i see it let me quote baseball legend yogi berra its deja vu all over again so weve been there so many times in the past couple of months that we heard from either democrats or republicans that theyre close to a deal but who knows as far as i know it was the 1st time that Menzies Pelosi has spoken to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell since the election so there is some progress joe biden just a couple of minutes ago actually and he also mentioned that he is hopeful that a deal might be reached him soon probably a smallish deal and then maybe a bigger deal after the inauguration all of joe biden but what in general we shouldnt forget its not about the number itself its 500000000000. 00 or 900000000000. 00 its what the money is spent for and republicans are looking more at corporate welfare and democrats are looking more at main street so thats the big problem that they really seem to be quite far apart what the money should be spent for.
