A deal that could revive yemen peace talks. The u. S. Is on track to break all records for the most early votes cast ever before election day. And im peter stemmed with all day sports news Will Champion south africa withdrawal from the Rugby Championship citing player welfare as their main concern. Lets begin in thailand where police and antigovernment protesters a fault in the center of the capital was a can was used to break through a barricade set up by demonstrators in bangkok for a 2nd night in a row thousands of people defy the government ban on gatherings calling for the Prime Ministers resignation and reforms to the monarchy the recorded statement the thai king said the country needs people who. Love the country love them all mickey scott high the has more from bangkok. There was that major confrontation at. A barrier that the protesters makeshift bury the protesters had used even using Police Barricades and thats resell the water cannon use there was another a secondary barrier built by the protesters just here again these water cannon but there were barely any protesters on the other side so they broke through that whats interesting now what were seeing a little little bit of it this is definitely a mop up operation right now is that some of the protesters have blended into the side streets so theres a little bit of a cleanup a small operation riot police going into the side streets to clear people out weve seen a couple of detentions no mass arrests or anything like that but the protest organizers saying it isnt officially over for the evening what we can also say definitively and that is that the gloves have come off approach has made the decision to go hard against the protesters they have not done that until this evening and what were hearing from officials too is that theyre going to use as they said and this came just after we saw that 1st main confrontation will use all means at their disposal and we saw what that means that means riot police and that means Water Cannons but again as they as that the leadership that still exists now saying the protest is over tonight we know that a nearby university has allowed their campus to be a safe haven for any the protesters dont want to leave no protesting on the campus but a safe haven but it seems as though right now its pretty much dissipated that most of those protesters have fled. Here came Prime Minister baraks johnson says before pad for no trade deal with the e. U. His office says negotiations are effectively over his comments come while european leaders have been meeting in brussels over 2 days. They want the continued ability to control our lives the city freedom of fisheries in a way duty is completely unacceptable to an independent country and since we have only 10 weeks until the end of the transition period on jan to the us i have to make a judgment about the likely outcome and to get us all ready and given that they refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st we arrange groups that are more like australia is based on simple principles of global free trade and the moment well go to natasha whos following that e. U. Summit from paris but 1st lets go to paul brown in london some tough talking there from the british Prime Minister calling the bluff playing hardball here or trade the negotiations really over. Now this is brinkmanship of the highest order language being used by the u. K. Prime minister is about as strong as he could possibly get to have to say he was asked whether he would walk away from the talks in a q. And a was just followed the statement that he gave and he didnt explicitly say that he was ordering the ukase negotiators to step back from the negotiating table and scrap the whole thing that said the language that he was using there pretty stark and it was brought to a head by the fact that the e. U. Summit in brussels the e. U. Had noted disappointment at the failure to agree a trade deal so far but gave Michel Barnier the negotiator another 2 weeks to try to see whether an agreement could be reached on the basis that mr johnson needed to make the necessary moves to make an agreement possible now that was like a red rag to a bull to the british side and hence the very sort of almost angry response that they gave this afternoon is at the end no but the fact is that Boris Johnson spokesman in an off camera briefing to journalists was pretty stark when he said as far as were concerned the trade talks are over on speculation of the shabani it could come to london on monday to try and keep the talks going he said look in negotiators should only come to london next week if theyre prepared to intensify talks and compromise otherwise do not bother if the trade talks are really over where would it leave talks on other issues that the whole idea of a negotiated brags that. Well dead in the water ringback frankly him and i mean obviously there would have to be talks because even though no deal brets it involves d the 2 sides trading with each other that the mutual trade is around 900000000000. 00 worth on an annual basis what we would have though of course would be the imposition of tariffs and quotas all of those without to be discussed at a bilateral level and indeed a multilateral level with the e. U. And with the u. K. So it will become intensely intensely complicated it wouldnt be the end of talks but it would make it very very difficult and very much more granular and fragmented all right thanks so much paul brown there bringing us the perspective of london lets continue to talk about this from the perspective of the e. U. Lets go over to tasha butler shes live for us from paris and weve heard some tough words from some of the e. U. Leaders like the german chancellor saying you know we dont want to deal any price our european leaders losing hope. Well i think leaders of heard all this before from the u. K. s Prime Minister this kind of tough talk nevertheless as far as the e. U. Is concerned things have to stay on track but what they are saying their message very clear at the end of this summit is that all 27 Member States are united on wanting a deal but a deal not at any cost not any price thats really the message weve heard over the last 2 days and that price is not coming to an agreement between the u. K. E. U. On certain sticking points on those sticking points remain were talking about the socalled level Playing Field the e. U. Wants assurances from the u. K. That britain would not undercut any competition unfairly in the e. U. Single market it wants more clarity on governance on how this trade deal any future trade deal would actually be regulated and of course there is this very contentious issue of fishing u. K. And the e. U. Fishermen have been using a been fishing in each others waters for decades centuries even the u. K. Says that breaks it means that it wants to control its own seas and who can access those waters the e. U. Says it wants things to remain as it is at the moment it wants a status quo in fact we have the french presence or management process and look fishing has been used by the u. K. By Boris Johnson for Boris Johnsons own political gain because fishing was a very popular issue for many bugs voters but macro saying theres no reason why fishing should be treated in a different way to any other trade or sector when were looking at negotiating this trade deal in its entirety elite are saying as far as theyre concerned they are are happy to keep negotiating its important to keep negotiating which is why michele. Briggs negotiators heading to london that was a message as well from the e. U. Council head shall michel. We are totally united to be determined to actually you know the 2 little agreement possible but that the trust in what 3 said yesterday remains right to the and you know that. Committed to leadership that we are ready to negotiate you agree to continue the negotiations and i hope that it would be possible to manage to made progress in the future but that we clit we are determined to we should little but not just also think of it push another european leader from the e. U. Summit the Prime Minister of finland a sign of how really serious the pandemic is becoming once again in the continent right. Well evaders this summit discussed greg said but they also of course discussed of the cove it pandemic many countries in europe are battling this 2nd wave and what we saw was the Prime Minister of finland leave the summit today she said she left because she found out that she had been in contact with somebody who has tested positive for covert 19 therefore she had gone home to finland to self isolate as a precaution we saw that happen on thursday with another e. U. Leader the head of the e. U. Commission. Who also brockley left the summit shortly after it had started later tweeting that somebody in her entourage had tested positive for covert 900 therefore she was choosing also to sell for isolate as a precaution. Overshadowing this summit in many ways you might say as i said something that the leaders spoke about shar michel the e. U. Council had in his presser said the e. U. Leaders have talked about how they can better coordinate on things like testing and vaccines because there is no doubt that so many countries are battling this 2nd wave and we also heard the german chancellor say that an upcoming e. U. China summit will actually be cancelled as leaders consider whether or not it is sensible to continue to meet in person in the circumstances all right thanks so much Natasha Butler a kyrgyzstan politician freed from prison by protesters just days ago has been appointed interim president so the jumper of was very Prime Minister on wednesday but is now assumed the presidency after the resignation of back of parliament has ended a state of emergency in the capital that had been declared to end days of unrest triggered by this futile the elections a new vote has to be held now within 90 days.

Has been a public standoff outside a courthouse in Senate Colleague south africa over the killing of white farm worker the case is proving to be a flashpoint with thousands of supporters of the Economic Freedom fighters Opposition Party facing off with white farmers 2 black men accused of killing the 21 year old appeared in court for a bail hearing which was later this. Brendan horners body was found tied to a pole 2 weeks ago the farm manager had injuries to his face and neck last night who is executive secretary of the council for the advancement of the South African constitution he joins us by skype from cape town good to have you with us is it fair to say that its more than just one case that is on trial right now in senate. It did its become a little bit of a Flash Forward to not think the as you said in your introduction the economic targets of. An extremist Political Party have sought to use this case opportunistically did try and grab media headlines and have busted in the you know hundreds or a couple of 1000 supporters into cynical today to confront the white farmers that are protesting about this. But we also have to recall that a week ago a initial hearing of the 2 accused. Members of the white farmers tried to storm the courthouse and the Police Station and ultimately set a Police Vehicle alight so the effort for been using this as a as an attempt as they say to protect street state infrastructure but its really a political standoff between the ia fair and white right wing elements in the free state how well as south africa dealt with grievances when it comes to land issues. Well the issue of land is you know is an ongoing issue in south africa and everyone accepts including the government that the process of land reform which was promised for the with the advent of democracy in 1904 as not proceeded as speedily as it ought to have done just a week or 2 ago the government announced that several calls of farmland would be made available to aspiring black farmers on the leasehold basis but many people would say that this is come for a very late and has really come as a result of the pressure that was brought by the e. F. Efren elements within the Ruling African National congress to force a position overexposed creating land without compensation that is a legitimate mr de issue and there was a constitutional amendment to that effect that is currently be considered by Parliament Given all of that sensitivity there are you concerned that however this case is ruled on its going to spark instability one way or another the song will be unhappy. Well you know its become a controversial case already because of the political system. And the rule of law is at work that the murder was committed you know just 2 weeks ago when 2 suspects that were already been arrested and really appeared in court today for the 2nd time and i think as president saw reports that made clear in his he used these weekly newsletter. Earlier this week to call for calm and to allow the Law Enforcement authorities the police and the Prosecution Service to do their jobs without hindrance so i think ultimately you know there maybe im happiness depending on the outcome of the trial or who out alternately happen but i think most of the africans will be will be happy with the fact that justice will have been seen to be done it was done speak easily which doesnt happen in very many cases so i think were really seeing the rule of law being implemented here and i think the president s call for calm its an appropriate warm but as i say you know opposing political thought of forces are using this very opportunistically to try and rally the troops in these days as we face not just the coronavirus pandemic but it deep in cannot recession in south africa that needs Creative Solutions and these Political Parties of the e of f. And others are not able to contribute to the constructive debate they rely on a diet of populism of gimmicks and of slogans rather than truth seeking to do the hard work of. Formulating policy that would get south africa out of the economic crisis and begin to address the issue of poverty that really lies about the heart of the very high crime rates that we see in this country or i thank so much for your thoughts on that last night of that. Security forces in guinea of by the entrance to the Capital City Center as Tensions Mount ahead of sundays president ial election. Manage tanks to military base in western guinea killing the camps governor a statement from the ministry of defense says the army has responded to the death of colonel moammar the conde president alpha conde is seeking a 3rd term in a campaign thats been marred by violence and ethnic divisions. Because hans is live for us in senegal so all neighboring some english. Little buggers election is going to turn violent things given everything is happening well it definitely seems like a given that just as you were announcing theyre also going to is going to hold his final rally and the much feared president ial guard the red berets have been deployed in the capital manning checkpoints we know that the population has decided to stay indoors the capital there is an eerie call the situation is tense just 48 hours before sundays president ial vote now this shooting that happened gunfire that happened in this military military camp in candia just 3 hours drive from the capital clinical thats a military base where many officers are trained as well as those soldiers that will be deployed in Un Peacekeeping missions at the u. N. And we know that the attack took place hours after all position leaders saloon jalen jello took to the stage in kindi after rousing crowd asking the military to vote out the county out of power they are deep grievances within the military itself and throughout this campaign weve seen different candidates stoke ethnic tensions among those. I mean the commander that was killed during this exact well hes from the same group as alpha cone day and so theres a sense that the divisive politics that weve been seeing in the campaign is being mirrored in the military and so this is all happening just 48 hours before this very tense election with all eyes on this on this vote femi no doubt your eyes will be watching for us thanks so much nicholas hoult. Mexicos former defense minister has been arrested in the United States on suspicion of links to Drug Trafficking salvador c. And where goss led the army for 6 years under president and the ricky pena nieto the foreign minister confirmed on twitter where goss was being held in Los Angeles John home and joins us live from mexico city so what kind of reaction have we had from mexico to this. Well i think the 1st reaction was from the mexican president coming out this morning and he said basically that this is another sign of the corruption under the administrations before him those ministrations equals near liberal so this is a real sort of political gift to him thats a favorite sort of narrative in line that he takes against corruption and hes actually for his party proposing a referendum to perhaps take x. President s to try oh so that all sorts of will go into a narrative thats going to make him look good in front of his base now in terms of the wide a mexican public the army is a more respected institution in the country than the police and thats partly why it was brought in to fight in the war against drugs under former president Felipe Calderon so some people might be a bit surprised that this is happened the head of the armed forces for 6 years is being charged by the u. S. On the Drug Trafficking i think other people that weve talked to across years in mexico analysts victims of the violence those watching from Civil Society going to be a lot less surprise and thats because theres a real prevailing thought that in that time the army has become infected to some level with the same corruption the meant that the police were an ideal tool to fight against organized crime now the 3rd thing here is that this is a good political point scoring for president and those men who Lopez Obrador its with past administrations but is it going to change anything now a key point in his press conference was when he said that the army and navy are pillars of the mets can state and one of then even this event which is the arrest of someone to let them for 6 years it doesnt change that it doesnt make them weaker now president and it has manual Lopez Obrador has come to defend the pendle the armed forces perhaps even more heavily than his predecessors so its a question over whether its just going to be political point. Scoring or whether hes really going to delve into this and try and brutal corruption as he has repeatedly said that he wants to do in the country this is this arrest has come out of a u. S. Investigation thats looked at a number of people might we see others implicated in this issue well i think that all depends to a certain extent all mexico and those who are talking about and that is manuel Lopez Obrador the president s willingness to really take this forward if it is just point scoring or if it is something more i think something to mention here as well is that the ex general Salvatore Sam for he goes isnt the 1st high level mexican official to be arrested by the u. S. We already had last year had not all garcia luna and he was the top cop for it is he was known under president Felipe Calderon from 2006 to 2012 arrested on similar charges of narco trafficking and is or is at this moment on trial in the u. S. So we are seeing a moment in which more high level officials being arrested and being put on trial but it is significant know that this is happening the u. S. Is doing this not mexico now in the Morning Press Conference president and there is more to a look as over there what actually said that there was no investigation in mexico open the gates general salvador to see him for he goes that the 1st he heard about this was 2 weeks ago from his u. S. Counterparts so i think it just comes back to that central issue is this going to be the moment the gets to grips with this is specially in the armed forces or will it just be another bump in the road all right John Heilemann there from mexico city well still ahead on aljazeera.

But. Rudy. Giuliani. Whos. Come back here watching aljazeera time to recap the headlines now police in thailand have used was a calendar break through a barricade set up by demonstrators in bangkok thousands of people continue to defy a ban on gatherings because of the Prime Ministers resignation and reforms to the law of. Britains Prime Minister says its time to prepare for a no deal breaker talks are over unless theres a compromise from the e. U. The block has responded saying its willing to continue negotiating but will not seek it deal at any cost. Its been a public standoff between Opposition Party supporters and white farmers at the courthouse in santa cal south africa to black man accused of killing a 21 year old white farm worker appeared in court for a bail hearing which was later supposed. Britains Prime Minister says he disagrees with the idea of imposing a complete National Lockdown london and a number of other cities have banned indoor gatherings on englands new 3 stages system theyve been moved to level 2 the number of new cases has comes down slightly. Some of argued that we should introduce a National Lockdown and instead of targeted local action i disagree closing businesses in cornwall where transmission is low will not cut transmission in manchester so what i cant rule anything out if a toll possible i want to avoid another National Lockdown with the Damaging Health economic and social effects it would have. Bach event joins us live from london hes made very clear he doesnt want a national down so what is the u. K. Inching towards then. Repeatedly say that he wants to continue dealing with this in a more localized way to avoid the misery of a full lockdown in the a detrimental effect that that may have fall on the economy across the country but the latest message from both the Prime Minister and his scientific advises is that the pandemic is spreading in all age groups all across the country not as fast as it was growing in march the rate of reinfection within the population is around 1. 00 its not going up in an unmitigated way longer because of restrictions that are in already in place things like social distancing the wearing of mosques so on and so forth nevertheless because of the rising numbers policies of the country have been pressured by Central Government here in london im talking specifically about money just to up the restrictions from i to very high the merriment just has been resisting not low over fears about the impact on peoples lives and livelihoods but what force johnson said is that numbers all going up so fast that within 2 weeks we would may well see more people in intensive care we much as to that at the peak of the pandemic earlier on in the year and if nothing is done to to bring that number down then Central Government here may well have to directly intervene so were seeing challenging situation yes the desire for boys children to resist more all lengthy fuller lockdown but at the same time not knowledge them and that perhaps Central Government does need to be significantly more robust when it comes to challenging conceptions and ideas and given parts of the country there are some though that believe that a short term several weeks long look down a much more fuller lockdown is what is necessary including the leader of the opposition a many feel that that will be the inevitable direction of travel either way thanks so much nirvana that. Poland is reporting a recall death toll of 132 in its latest daily tally for concerns its Health Services could be overwhelmed russia has reports of more than 15000 new cases theres been more than 1300000 infections there since the pandemic began and nearly 24000 deaths germany also saw unprecedented rise with more than 7000 new cases the government has tightened restrictions on gatherings masks are now compulsory on public transport in shops and certain outdoor areas.

U. S. President dog trump and democratic nominee joe biden held dueling town hole events late on thursday off the plans for a 2nd debate with scraps the separate events were at the same time forcing americans to flip back and forth between channels to hear the candidates address questions from the public eye to joe castro has more. With the pandemic raging in a divided America President trump was on the defensive in florida conditions are never going to die what are you listening i didnt use White Supremacy at that what you next play she appearing to have recovered from his 3 day hospitalization for coping 19 but trailing in National Polls the president also refused to denounce q one on a baseless Conspiracy Movement which has grown exponentially during americas outbreak i know nothing about. I just tried your very little you told me but what you tell me doesnt necessarily make it checked i have to say that i know nothing about it i do know they are very much against it pedophilia yet they find it very hard but i knew nothing of the day to leave the president s event aired at the same time as a town hall event with democratic challenger joe biden in philadelphia which mirrored his steady low key Campaign Presence in my view with all due respect to spend divide and conquer the way he does better if he splits us not theres division. And i think people need hope both candidates took questions and comments from voters some laudatory in the way and so many. Others were tougher whats your view on the crime bill that you wrote in 1994 which showed prejudiced against minorities it was a mistake and biden whose campaigns been hit by the. Recently disclosed Coronavirus Infections lashed out against trumps handling of the pandemic more than 217000 americans have died in the words of a president matter absolutely no matter whether theyre good bad or indifferent they matter and want a president doesnt wear mask or make fun of folks like me when i was wearing a mask for a long time then you know people say well it must be that important pressed by the moderator im asked trump defended himself by falsely characterizing the study but just the other day they came out with the statement that 85 percent of the people that wear masks jack shit you know it is a very right to say as i said thats what i heard and thats what i saw i think the disservice may have already been done for the past 3 to 4 years maybe one way and you know misinformation and this information all these things i think became our new reality and i think. Its not shocking anymore thats the maybe the sad thing about. The final president ial debate is scheduled for october 22nd and so far both sides have agreed to attend but with the feared 2nd wave of covert approaching and the virus penetrating both campaigns nothing can be counted on an Election Year like no other. Castro aljazeera philadelphia. At one point the house criticize the president for boosting conspiracy theories about his rivals. Just this week you reach tweeted to your 87000000 followers a Conspiracy Theory that joe biden orchestrated to have seal team 6 the navy seal to 6 killed to cover up the face the face death of bin ladin now why would you send a lie like that to get all of us to even read we that was a read tweet that was a opinion of somebody and that was a reach weve put it out there people can decide for themselves how did i finish and like someones crazy uncle he was real i mean whatever that was a read tweet and i do a lot of reach which frankly because the media is so shaped and so corrupt if i didnt have social media i dont call a twitter a close associate media i wouldnt be able to get the word out and the worst. White house correspondent kimberly how could joins us now from washington d. C. So both by then and have events at the same time on the tell you who won the battle for viewers 1st of all. Yeah well according to some of the metrics weve seen it was pretty even with biden getting a few 100000 more but according to one measure of smart t. V. Viewing 6300000 watched donald trump 6900000 watched joe biden whats also interesting within that match rick is that when it came to viewers of color 32 percent watched joe biden but 29 percent watched donald trump now thats interesting because this is really a coveted section of the u. S. Electorate Donald Trumps campaign in particular has been reaching out to voters of color and this shows that they may be making some headway in that area which is a problem for joe biden but as the reporter previously stated that in fact the polls seem to indicate that joe biden is ahead in the National Ratings if you will particularly when it comes to early voting an early exit and this is still a challenge for donald trump because the bottom line is we are just 18 days away from the president ial election and every vote matters and so even every viewer matters when it comes to these town halls talking about the early votes who how is the unprecedented number of early votes being interpreted now. Well its being interpreted in 2 different ways number one the pandemic has for for no other reason really surge the early voting because people simply dont feel safe leaving their homes to stand in long lines on election day so not only have they been afforded that opportunity by their governments but this is something that theyre really looking into or taking advantage of given the fact that there is simply a fear that coronaviruses now in its 2nd wave if you will in the United States and people literally fear for their lives that this is a life and death vote for their future but also for making sure that theyre there still alive so thats the 1st reason is cost an enormous amount of exile among the american voting public but the 2nd reason has a lot to do with concern about Election Integrity we know that there was already outside influence from foreign governments and 2016 theres concern thats happening again theres also been repeatedly this discrediting of the safety of the u. S. Voting system when it comes to mail in ballots particularly by conservatives and by donald trump so many are feeling the need to stand in line for early voting on the right they feel that thats the only way they can trust their vote to be counted on the left will there is more confidence in the mail in ballot and theres still a fear that it may not get there in time and may not be counted so weve seen an enormous surge and early voting like weve never seen before just very quickly as of yesterday 17000000 ballots have already been cast weve seen millions lining up early in states like texas and georgia and mail in and florida thats a key battleground state early voting opens there on monday where we expect the numbers to surge even further thanks so much can really help.
