Opposition Leader Calls Police violence against protesters the governments worst mistake can tell soldiers there or the president must go. Im way hey reporting from chiang mai in northern thailand where well tell you why and all protest movement may be about to hit the streets again. Welcome to the program the house of representatives has blocked changes to the postal system that threatened mail in voting ahead of the president ial election they voted to give the agency 25000000000. 00 and rejected reforms that would have slowed mail delivery vehicle had reports. Its americas favorite Government Service my far the u. S. Postal service that is until recently louis to joy a trunk donor and loyalist was put in charge just about 2 months ago. Oh and quickly made changes to the financially unstable service mell boxes removed high speed sorting machines ripped out procedures changed over time stopped for money and as a result the mail has slowed considerably he blames a lack of staff because of the coronavirus democrats dont believe him just this week i heard from a good stitch with diabetes who feared her family was at risk of losing their insurance after learning her payment had arrived a month late after it was mailed her story is sadly one of many being heard across the nation official post office data. These new documents show that the delays we have all heard about are actually far worse for their part republicans say its not a problem nancy pelosi goes politicly postal and that is the reason we are here today for phony political theater to once again bash president charm just in time for this sunday talk shows and the Republican National convention the bill is passed so now the house has voted to reverse joyce changes and give the post office 25000000000. 00 the reason this is in such a political importance is because of the upcoming election because of the pandemic for the 1st time more than 3 quarters of americans will be allowed to vote by mail but the post office is warning the vast majority of states that they cannot guarantee that those ballots will be delivered in time to be counted the republican leader of the senate says he is unlikely to take up the bill the house leader thinks that will change theyll be hearing from their constituents because this hits home not receiving your mail on a timely fashion hits home not receiving your prescription especially for veterans hits home in a way that is harmful to our country as well theres more on the line than missed this could call into question whether they can deliver a free and Fair Election political gain aljazeera washington. The hill. I spoke to him earlier and began by asking him who benefits from postal mail ballots. President trump has just voted by mail and requested his mail in ballot from florida and it is those people with medical conditions those people who are elderly and remember the largest voting group in america are women over 50 years old and they are a Vulnerable Community there is a debate going on on whether the postal Postal Service will be able to do its job or not its an earnest question what donald trump is trying to throw is to make this look like it may lead to fraud no matter what the outcome is so these are 2 different tracks one where youre looking at whether people can vote whether votes will be delayed or not but donald trump will say it was a wobbly system no matter how the Postal Service behaves and run and performs state to dictate by the law their own circumstances in this problem is that many states are able to undo what they already have set in place some of them allow mail in ballots to be sent in. You know a day or 2 before the election and so in that case given the load that may occur the Postal Service has told some of the states that it may not receive those ballots in time to be counted i think that what you heard in the democratic National Convention and what youre hearing many others say is that those voters who want to vote by mail who want to request an absentee ballot or return a ballot do so as soon as possible and that is usually 15 days before the election and though should be ok those ballots should be ok its the crash near election day thats the problem. Well these as did president Abraham Boubacar Cantor has met west African Leaders trying to resolve the political crisis in his country as an occasional so met with military leaders behind the coup but as emmit interest reports now from neighboring nigeria both sides they have to make concessions.

Apart from arresting and charging lead is the government and police havent tried to stop the protests yet but as the Movement Grows and becomes more diverse intensifying the pressure on the government that approach may change soon wayne hay al jazeera chiangmai thailands.
