That is the total law that is coming out 3 batches from marco i mean you know as not being doing to and that has been rejected by our minister of defense. Children and we have achieved. An important statement yesterday not to establish this fight for the humanitarian purposes interests are working when he few hours later in the early hours of the morning on saturday as ever john has been back and cheney with its military operations in every direction no stay in the senate but most appallingly they have been continuously jenner getting an aging disobedient settlements down isnt villages they sit in any infrastructure all of their corn or about in the carving plank if thats been going too far for the entire morning all the way to the afternoon after 12 pm 12 noon when we were supposed to have deceased on established its operations have been continuing on to us are going to some of this i have met exactly that attack on what we have been trying to achieve if its funny there are plenty to do i mean to let a major occupy. Let me interrupt you just play with me because i want to clarify one thing with you sir if the media is not responsible for the attacks on guns which another one of course which happened on october the 4th but if it is not responsible for this latest attack who do you think that it. Then theyre going to go out Defense Forces theyre absolutely resolution to continue their defense you have to understand they are defending this method or take meticulous attack on to c. V. S. On data on to people youre going to cover up and now if i can understand you and i do let me interrupt you because i really want to be clear im done this i apologize for interrupting you but let me be clear on this you are saying that these are not a median forces that are fighting these missiles these are forces from now gone all kind of back to the Defense Forces there who are defending not going to kata back whilst the cease fire is in place is that correct this cease fire has been violated by Azerbaijani Forces before and specifically after 12 noon they have been continuing their military operations and they have most appallingly they have been heating the cities and towns you must send your people to step up to care and to other towns and cities to register their way in which those towns and cities are race to the ground in which people will be spending 2 weeks in the shelters in days in which there is a refugee flow in which they are again doing what they have been doing in the 990. 00 s. And it plans in raising these people from the area that will not allow events forces or go about we will continue resolutely defend and emea has been and remains a guarantor of their security that media has been determined to bring in International Support its been looking far far and support from Foreign Countries would that be easier to get if armenia decided to stop any breach of the cease fire and lay down its weapons far to a lot of the humanitarian cease fire to go ahead and the exchange of prisoners and the exchange of bodies to go ahead. Dont ringback shave the plate on our nina or neck or not care about what theyre going to cut of his faith. We have negotiated this statement in good faith and are going to put our government the president youre absolutely unequivocally supported to say for this is a very important question for the very medium im sure you know what to do dont do humanitarian function there are many serious humanitarian issues that have to do result immediately their job the broadest their agenda of the prisons all that has to be done the i. C. R. C. Is important i mean here in the armenian sites nagornokarabakh of that i mean you are absolutely interested in that and we have been in good faith we did get to see that end to be an end to a lot of things. To a lot of the process of humanitarian work to go ahead our correspondent Bannard Smith was telling us that no date had yet been set for that to begin because it was dependent on there being a ceasefire is there a way that armenia can bring pressure on whoever it is that is firing rockets into azerbaijan to stop doing that so that that humanitarian action can take place. I am coming back to the same question i mean it is faithful to its commitment theyre going to care about is faithful to each come meet them and i am just repeating myself again in very unequivocal way since morning yesterday all the way to the very very late hours of the night now as it was your own has been showing targeting the next step on a carrot and other towns or villages. They have a big ticking noahs damage due to civilians to disobey the infrastructure although they went at it when the cease fire was in place they dont apparently understand what ceasefire is about cease fire theres no mandate going to eat and killing civilians and to lead to civilian settlements thats what was happening after 12 pm thats be very clear about this on one second and his foreign minister on it all again and this once again brings in a very important question verification mechanisms we want to cease fire that were going to their education back in these on the ground who demonstrate the perpetrator will demonstrate department which is not taking to the streets we have been saying this for a long time and i repeat this again so harm once a condom is the foreign minister off i mean that we appreciate your joining us on knowledge as it is so thank you very much and thank you very much. Plenty more ahead on the news including the president of belarus comes face to face with opposition activists who were jailed for challenging his reelection. Brazils president downplays the coronavirus once again as the death toll there passes 850000. And an all black star makes a costly edit and a match against australia joe is going to explain in the sport. Donald trumps doctor says the president s been cleared to return to work but he wont confirm if used tested negative for corona virus it comes after trying to address to a crowd of hundreds of the white house he claimed the pandemic is disappearing on the day the u. S. Recorded the highest number of new coronavirus cases in nearly 2 months White House Correspondent Kimberly Holcomb reports. With his recovery still in question donald trump emerged from the white house to address supporters its the u. S. President s 1st official appearance since contracting cold with 19. Times physicians will say when trump last tested negative for covert 19 only that hes been cleared to resume campaigning and while the white house insisted saturdays event wasnt a Campaign Rally it sure seemed like one attacking his opponent former Vice President joe biden multiple times Sleepy Joe Biden has betrayed black and latino americans if you think you can run this country youre wrong track was addressing black and latino conservatives who are part of a movement known as blacks it or black accept the movement believes the Democratic Party has betrayed communities of color and is encouraging them to vote republican if the left gains power theyll launch a nationwide crusade against Law Enforcement and theyve already done that. Trump is playing on voter fears of the sometimes violent unrest that gripped several u. S. Cities for months this past summer following protests over the death of george floyd a black man killed while in police custody. Trump hopes his law and order message will help him win over white suburban voters in addition to minority communities hurt by the violence but time is running out for a president currently trailing joe biden in the polls right now American Jews are actually voting their early voting either in person or their mailing in their ballots so theres not much time for the president if hes going to turn this around to do so prior to cope with 19 trump had built on historically low unemployment for minorities but since covert 19 those jobs have been wiped out and once again communities of color are suffering economically in greater numbers than white americans but with little clarity about his own covert recovery there are questions about whether trump should even be on the campaign trail i think if the board had to make it all. That they could be focusing. On the president trouble began holding large public rallies beginning on monday and again on tuesday and wednesday as he targets 3 battleground states can really help get out 0 wash where john nichols is a clinical professor in pathology at the university of hong kong who says President Trump is most likely ok to be out campaigning. So this is what tom some a quote some colleagues of mine at home county have published to show that basically 9 days after a patient as head coach it. The this s. G. R. And they disappear and theyre no longer considered really infectious but the but they can be released into the community provide it or destruction possible provided that they dont come in contact any high risk individuals like people in old age homes or people who are very susceptible so you know nothing is ever absolute but i think the but they are that they publish results which could be and from hong kong show that its free can basically safely discharge a patients into the community but not to try a high risk area like him so i think its just a bounce off the of the risk to be taken out because im so provided hes not going to be going its an old age home a lot to people who immunocompromised i said then on the balance of probabilities he is safe safe from an infectious point between relates to be released into the community democratic president ial candidate joe biden has accused the trumpet ministration of neglect over its handling of the pandemic bidens been campaigning in pennsylvania laying out his plans for the economy he says hell create millions of jobs and fund an economic recovery through new taxes on the rich the coven 1000 outbreak has left hundreds of thousands of americans unemployed and more than 214000 people have died america deserves a president who understands what people are gone through your face of real challenges right now the last thing you need is a president who were exacerbates more than 210000 are dead as was pointed out we lose anywhere from 700 to a 1000 people a day dead. The president was told a little while ago when he was told 100000 people a day were dying you know what he said he says it is what it is well it is what it is because he is who he is my heart goes out to everyone struggling in this economic crisis simple neglect on the part of this administration Turkish Cypriot leader most of all when shes cost his vote in the president ial election and the islands breakaway north occasion whos running for reelection was joined by his wife at a polling station in the divide his capital nicosia also known as the. Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognized by turkey the internationally recognized Greek Cypriot government is based in the south of the island. In the authorities of the republic of turkey unfortunately took a side in this election very openly they did this despite all my warnings all of you have seen this the whole society has seen and experienced this almost solution is the head of the Political Science and International Relations department in the Eastern Mediterranean used to university he says this election can act as a trigger to resolve regional tensions. This election is particularly important because there is already a poll out is ation in the island between those who support a federal based solution which has been going on since the 1970 s. And on the other side of the. Polarization are those people who believe that federal solution is no longer viable we should look for alternative. Methods or alternative solutions so thats why its important but as you know the u. N. Secretary general already declared that after the election process he will call for a 5 part meeting which includes a 2 cypriot side as well as the 3 got on their powers Turkey Greece and united kingdom. In order to see whether they can jumpstart the cyprus negotiations where they collapsed in crown montana 3 years ago i think thats important because solving the cyprus problem in my opinion can be an important he can be an important trigger in solving the other. Pending issues in the Eastern Mediterranean region which has been a battleground for attention in recent times and the president ial election into stand is under way 5 candidates are running including president s and woman hamann faming for a 5th time hes been in charge of since independence in 1902 and is allowed to speak as many times as he wants to get into reports. President in mali rachman arrives at repairing station in the capital hes hoping to win a 5th term in office after the changes to the constitution 4 years ago which scrapped the limits on president ial terms but the economy is struggling and they are worried about the future. Im not sure rove is trying hard to keep his coffee shop open International Airport its been closed for the last 6 months because of covering a virus restrictions and that means ahmed hasnt been able to import his regular supply of coffee he says the next president must help small businesses. We order a lot of stuff for our business from other countries due to covert air traffic is blocked it would be great if our government appreciated our problems and gave us some help it would benefit us tremendously. President ial candidates are promising to grow the economy and create jobs than is the poorest of the place save the state a lack of work opportunity is more than a 1000000 men and women to find jobs the brute. Longish. We want to see job growth especially for those who are unemployed if there are enough jobs here men will not look for opportunities in other countries theyll stay here with their kids. Human Rights Groups a political reform is vital if the country is to avoid the instability and violence its experienced in the past this election because its the 1st one since the Main Opposition Party a moderate Islamist Party was bombed in 2015 so actually the situation is even bleaker now in the last president ial election in 2013 many villages expect direct man to win the election the any question for them is whether the 68 year old will serve out the full 7 year term victory gate and be al jazeera by the russian president Alexander Lukashenko has held an unexpected meeting with opposition activists in prison state media says he discussed constitutional reform with his political rivals they were jailed for challenging his reelection which triggered weeks of mass protests thousands of people were detained in the violent crackdown that followed the disputed poll in august. Demanding dialogue i thought based on the criticism of your followers and the most radical proposals we shouldnt only focus on the constitution and i know half of you here lou isnt perfectly understand that the constitution cant be written in the streets and im trying to convince both your supporters and society at large that we must have a broader view towards these problems. A politician freed from prison by supporters just days ago is the new Prime Minister of Kurdistan Parliament confirmed soldiers are part of following nearly a week of violent protests against the now an old election result is up of supporters celebrated on the streets of the capital bishkek but a state of emergency is imposed he says he expects president sort of to resign within a few days. First id like to bow my head to the people and especially the youth who risked their lives and came into the square to stand for justice and the idea of legitimacy after gaining a deeper understanding of the political situation everyone has taken a step towards returning to legality and deciding to stabilize the present situation and it here is to the lord many d. P. T. As presented my candidacy to the post of Prime Minister and now i have accepted these powers of Prime Minister i am grateful for the deep trust that has been placed in supporting my candidacy for this position iran has reported its highest single day total of deaths linked to coronavirus since their break began at least 251 over the past 24 hours to try to curb the spread the governments making the wearing of mosques compulsory in all large cities nationwide and president Hassan Rouhani has warned anyone breaking the rules faces being fined. Indias reported infections have surpassed 7000000 the Health Ministry confirms more than 74000 positive tests in the past 24 hours new infections have decreased in recent weeks but doctors are warning against in containing the virus are being undermined by fatigue with Wearing Masks and social distancing. Brazils president has again downplayed the severity of corona virus telling brazilians not to worry about catching it. Says he didnt feel a thing when he tested positive in july scientists for a 2nd wave is on its way with 9 fatalities linked to the virus exceed 150000 thats the worlds 2nd highest total want to hear you knocking of reports from Rio De Janeiro. Apart from this there are few signs of a lockdown in a country that has just passed the mark of 5000000 couvade 1000 cases mean sam the drum has been closed indefinitely and next years carnival parade postponed until a covert 19 vaccine is on the market. That isnt keeping people from dancing samba on the streets with no social distancing and very few masks. All as brazil reaches 150001000 related deaths the 2nd largest number in the world maybe it happened in france i feel that people especially here in the slums act as if nothing were happening as if the pandemic were. Crowded few people wear masks everybody acts relaxed but the truth is hundreds of dying every day. The fact the president shade bosun and who has been downplaying the virus even after having contract it it does not help. The Health Professionals are worried that a 2nd wave will arrive before the 1st one is over not just badges brazil is reopening is a corner me but he never implemented a complete lockdown now 6 months later be even more difficult to restrict activities the population is top of the pandemic. Research or financial borza says the best way to keep the virus under control is by increasing the. Testing hes part of a task force created by doctors scientists and volunteers from 9 different organisations the idea is to bring health and communication professionals to reuse most vulnerable areas like the complex of the modern and. There are big deal slums in the complex about not at 140000 people live here the population is bigger than that of 97 percent of brazilian cities tests have shown that the number of infections in poor areas can be 4 times greater than in rich neighborhoods by tracking down people who have the virus they hope to stop it from spreading. Were trying to do what should have been done in the beginning once you identify where the cross is all then we can see who they have been in contact with and what the community to help them isolate or receive treatment even. But catching up with the virus in a country of 200000000 is not an easy task monica all just sirrah Rio De Janeiro its time for the weather is rob. How is that we look at sudan this is a wet months down bit of a peak in in the rainy season its not extreme but sudan of course has been suffering extensive flooding for months now and its still raining and this is pictures taken in the last couple of days over a province which is the northeast of juba the capital so as you see not just extensive flooding but quite deep flooding and it seems well settled in as well so you are tucked up very much more where there are still few shall around not many admittedly in fact take you through to monday youll still see shells falling but the thrust of the right is tom the should be further south i said october was a wet a month for juba for example which is not very much for 140. 00 millimeters now the real what is for the south so although she was forecast has specifically gault rain or thunderstorms for the next 3 days if you look at kigali capital of rwanda which is more or less only a question south moderate thunderstorms for the next 3 days are thats where the rain should be and curiously he fell across the indian ocean thats the line there but in that retreating monsoon rain if you like there are 2 girls one here to a potential tropical depression in the bay of bengal affecting india and a more serious one in vietnam where its already flooded.

But action is restarting at libyas the Largest Oil Field shut out has been closed for most of this year because of a blockade imposed by all of Khalifa Haftar libya used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude a day generating an important stream of income and money train is live for us in a manic whats behind this announcement. Why i think this is International Pressure on a cliff to half there and his forces to demilitarize the oil ports and oil fields and ahead of the un facilitated political talks now currently. There are a representatives of the High State Council from tripoli and the eastern base parliament in cairo in talks but i think that thats its theres a real gathering of the International Community on reopening the oil and for the warring sides to come to sort of a political agreement and bring about peace and stability to libya its important to to mention that these oil closures have caused a lot of lost revenue over the years since 2013 to 2020 according to the Libyan Central Bank thats theyve lost over 180000000000. 00 and thats thats Revenue Source to the government and thats how they pay the salaries for people thats how they pay for Government Services like electricity and water here in tripoli theres been a long power cuts up to 18 hours 20 hours a day at covert locked the a covert lockdown and curfew people are very frustrated they cant go out they cant go outside of their houses theyre stuck inside their homes or the temperatures are really high so its its really hot theres a lack of liquidity invents so theres long lines at banks residents have to wait in long lines and only able to pull out a certain amount of money and thats all due to these oil closures whether or not these this oil opening will continue on and bring about some kind of source of income which can help the government rebuild the infrastructure here remains to be seen mike thanks very much indeed Desmond Turner bringing us updates from tripoli lets talk to both he is a security and policy analyst and as well as to his former defense its actually to the via hes joining us on skype from vienna we appreciate your time so thank you very much lets talk about this in terms of the efforts towards peace how significant is it. I would say that 1st it is interesting that these lawsuits were long after they might be a fake remember which was already in mid september and be shut out of court online obviously 8 of the local patrol implicitly got state not follow the orders of marshall have or the National Oil Corporation delayed the opening until some specific negotiations before locals were concluded i would say opening of a shutout has no direct impact on the political process which is unfortunately stuck again. There were some some positive signs after the negotiations in morocco which came to an agreement about 50 propositions between the h. R. N. T. S. C. But unfortunately there is no way approval of the outcome of these negotiations made up by the 2 are not by the Supreme State concept 5 plus 5 military talks in geneva the continuing look at the 1900 probably but there is no faith yet for pretty good box and this is the Crucial Point because if there are no with the political talks there is no decision about the composition of a new president ial council and as you may remember Prime Minister firesides that arch has announced that he intends by the end of october but if there is no replacement will he sort of aung or how could he be replaced let me just ask you about the security element of all of this because this was an area that was was controlled by general Khalifa Haftar one would assume that if he has agreed to this oil flowing he is possibly in a position to be able to shut it off at some point at least for leverage what is the risk that that might happen. Thats a good question because the cream in fine opening of the oil exports votes for the kind being for just one month which means until october 17th and the spending if the recent agreement if if hes to fusion of the oil revenues for the time being all their payments end up in if ank account of the leap in foreign pank and on not why its central bank of libya and a green meant could be terminated after october 17th if there is no such agreement my guess is that the flow of oil to be continued for 2 reasons one is you have seen if i shut out i have to use probably not going to position not a nipple station florida this stop all over libya it could well be that in the east the people will stick to his office but its quite unlikely that the guys now shout out and in the other best the moyes will follow these so i guess their production and the exports continue also off the over 17 if least as long as the funds remain in the Libyan Foreign bank and are not transferred to the central bank of libya but from foresight is also a former defense a taxi to libya hes also a security and policy analyst we appreciate your joining us and is it i thank you very much indeed my pleasure a number of iran backed on groups in iraq have agreed to stop rocket attacks on u. S. Forces a spokesman for the qatari of hezbollah a group which has close links with iran says the ceasefire is conditional on baghdad to giving a timetable for the withdrawal of american troops the groups been accused of acting outside the formal chain of command theyre also being blamed for the siege on cantante in march which killed one british and 2 american soldiers. An elite police unit in nigeria will be dissolved immediately following days of protests across the country demonstrators have accused the special anti robbery squad of murder extortion and disappearances lets cross now to ahmed idris joining us live from that this is actually a very big step for the government to take what led up to this basically for 4 or 5 days now demonstrators have taken to the streets of numerous cities across nigeria asking for the elite police force to be disbanded remember rubber nigerians have been calling for the dissolution of this unit which has been accused of so many atrocities some caught on video and on put on social media that went viral but the Nigerian Government has been dragging its feet about it twice the government promised to dissolve already formed the special interest court but again they managed to resurface and they managed to continue their operations without hindrance and that did not deter them from slowing down across that you saw abuses on the civilian population and this the last push was. Some nearly a week ago when one individual was killed in the south of the country and that sparked a nationwide protests. In the final dissolution of this Notorious Police unit of the activists in niger call it its one thing to say that the unit is despondent but of course the offices still exist or we know whats going to happen to them. Well the Inspector General of police and also in the design lucian of the unit said there will be transfer to various Police Formations across the country and then i knew outfit will now be set up to deal with crimes like rape kidnapping and other Violent Crimes happening across the country and the fear for the or for just yet is any gap that will result as the result as a result of pulling this elite unit off the streets and back into the barracks back into routine Police Duties however the government and activists what they say is that the the dissolution is a very very important step and the government actually officials are fearing that these demonstrations of that have been happening for the past 4 or 5 days we may result into something bigger than the authorities can handle already selectiveness are trying to push the movement into another direction to protest. Poor governance in cases of abuses by other forms of security agencies in nigeria the the military or the secret police and even bad governance on the part of politicians so there is this fear that if this movement that started on a small scale in the south of the country and now has spread to all parts of the countries allowed to snowball into something bigger then they will be cause for concern and more fears of instability will reign in nigeria so thats what the authorities are afraid of and theyve quickly disbanded this force police force after 5 attempts to formally end the atrocities allegedly committed by sas and thanks very much as im a dangerous in a boozer. Or 20 years are to zimbabwes controversial land reform policy when thousands of white farmers were forcibly evicted some are returning to the land is turn and so black owners. Reports from the shoreline and east problems the government hopes their return will boost production amid warnings that millions of zimbabweans are facing food shortages. Zimbabwes government calls these collaboration smart partnerships or joint ventures some whites who were forced off commercial farms joining the Land Reform Program 20 years ago are coming back to work with black landowners allowing other people whove got the money and the resources to partner the land has been just the best thing that has happened to us obviously we know we Work Together well. Also with the partnership the good thing about the partnership is this skills transfer. 2 decades after the government sees thousands of white owned commercial farms land and who it rightfully belongs to is still an emotive and divisive topic in zimbabwe and other parts of Southern Africa followings the bobbies land reform controversy when pharmacies from whites the barbarians of all races are now cautious about land agreements thats why those in these joint partnerships insist on legal documentation stating exactly how profits will be dividers. Some zimbabwean say the late president Robert Mugabes Land Reform Program was a partisan poses that favorite a few elites and left the country struggling to feed itself some of the land grabs were chaotic and violent displacing the white farmers and their farm workers the Uns World Food Program warns more than 8000000 zimbabweans would not have enough food by december thats roughly 60 percent of the population others believe land reform was necessary to give back land to blacks the barbarians land that was taken by white settlers jus in the colonial years. But there. Is very simple and that it is what we now need is for most to get back to the island and there is a Compensation Team that is looking for resources in order to compensate for the improvements only on the island. So the state state is going to pay more than 3000000000. 00 in compensation to whites who had been expropriated to resettle black families its difficult for any creditor tool lend you money when you have a feeling to clear well its going to be very difficult for government to raise unless the government probably is going to impose taxes but again thats a bit of your daughter we already are in takes didnt economy. People keen on running these farms as businesses again want guarantees from the government there will be no more illegal land seizures and Property Rights will be respected but the country is constantly changing economic policies still make investors nervous president keeps saying is open for business the International Community and the locals are watching waiting to see if that is indeed true. Motion a land East Province is a bubble.
