During for a mass rollout in the 1st half of next year in china the government is conducting more mass testing after a new outbreak in the shin jang region nearly 5000000. 00 people are being screened after the discovery of 137 new infections but theres better news in the a strain in hotspot of victoria that have been no cases no new case that you say in the state for the 1st time in 4 months 5000000 people in the city of melbourne have been under lockdown for more than 100 days or i will get more on the vaccine trials in the u. K. For need parker in london but 1st lets go to Natasha Butler who is live for us in paris natasha so the situation in france growing more serious by the day. It was clear that the Health Situation in the country is deteriorating france recording 52000. 00 new cases of current virus infections in 24 hours that is the highest so far this year and what the head or frances Scientific Council of body that advises the government on Health Matters he says that in fact it could be as many as a 100000 new infections each day in reality because he says you have to count the people who are asymptomatic and people who are not getting tested now he says that the situation is extremely urgent that the next few weeks in france will be very very tense indeed as these cases continue to rise the pressure on the hospitals goes up all the time i mean here in the paris region 3 quarters of the beds in the intensive care units are already full doctors are warning that they could be near capacity soon we know that some hospitals in small towns in france in the north in the east for example are already having to move patients to hospitals the bigger cities because they simply cannot cope the French Health minister has also want people in france that november will be a very difficult month also because of the cold climate and that seems to be exasperating the Health Situation and really the discussion in the debate in france both from the government and from medical experts seems to be now not whether or not there will be another lockdown but when there will be another lockdown and what sort of shape that would take would it be a regional lockdown would it be a lockdown that would only effect cities that are the worst affected would it be a look down that would affect only certain segments of the population but it really does seem increasingly in france and the discussion is going towards some form of lock down the certain parts of the country at some point from schools not at the only country in europe struggling with these questions of the rest of the continent struggling to. Yes or spain the government that is tightening restrictions the Prime Minister petrie sanches calling the situation in the country extreme the Spanish Government putting in place a curfew from 11 oclock at night till 6 oclock in the morning curfew seems to be the way that many european governments are taking to try and stem the spread of the coronavirus there is one in place in france of course from 9 oclock at night till 6 in the morning over in italy also restrictions coming into place there over the next month the Italian Government says that things like pools gyms theaters cinemas will be shut restaurants and bars will also have to close a lot so that they do at the moment because cases are rising there the Prime Minister has that becomes a says that these sort of restrictions are necessary if its really is not going to go to another lockdown its something that of course the government wants to avoid because of the Economic Impact however doctors in hospitals and italy are saying that they are seeing i. C. U. Beds fill rapidly and they are calling in fact some are calling for a look down is the only way to stay in this 2nd wave or in touch with thanks very much in the township but labor in paris lets cross now to meet barker is live for us in london to talk about the the hopes about the vaccine everybody across the world need of course desperate to hear some good news on the vaccine in marion some optimism coming out of you kyra. As a race against time in multiple countries and a shred of optimism here from the u. K. Of course the oxford team in partnership with the pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca plowing ahead with trials at the moment a mom called the Health Secretary whos been speaking this morning has been talking about very optimistically about the hope of rolling out a massive vaccine for general consumption general use in the 1st half of next year asked whether or not the vaccine may be available to some before the end of the year he said well who isnt ruling it out but it is the governments central position that they believe that the vaccine will be available as a vaccine may be available at the start of the year of course the British Government pinning its hopes on the research being carried out in oxford also last week we did hear from a scientific advisor sits on an Organization Called the Sage Committee the devise is the government he said that he believes also at the start of next year a vaccine would be available but there are a variety a whole range of possible vaccines may be available to given the wide portfolio of different options the different scientific teams are working on and different places in the world we are also hearing a report also of monday morning in one of the british newspapers suggesting that a major London Hospital has been told that it could receive a botched all of the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine as early as november the next week we believe also that Health Officials have doctors nurses and other Health Workers are being trained in how to administer that vaccine so some possible glimmer of hope there as well the overall message is that we are not light years away when it comes to this backseat lets not forget that it normally takes between 10 to 15 years to develop a vaccine there are multiple stages stages different. Phases when it comes to actually trial and the facts. On sections of the population weve seen for russia for instance that phase 3 trial actually carry out because without all members of the Health Professional doctors and nurses there the message from russia is its a race against time to get this vaccine out so the normal procedures that they go through should be expanded order to get this out here the much more rigorous set of rules at the moment but overall the message is a vaccine is not far away or a knave thank you very much indeed to everybody eagerly awaiting good news on the vaccine thanks a lot. For this move on to Libyas National Oil Corporation says it has reopened its last oil field that had been closed the al fields site is the largest in libya nearly all maybe an oil exports was stopped in january by the warlord who for have to force is based in the east africas Largest Oil Reserves started ramping up in september as some of its oil fields then reopened libya used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude oil a day but Moammar Gadhafi is down for back in 2011 that plunge the country into violence and the dog security situation since has had a negative effect on the home economy its central bank warned earlier this month that libya faces an economic collapse if it doesnt increase Oil Production so lets get more on this with my upward up wide whose life is in tripoli some upward lost a lot of revenue from these closures as i say its very important that these oil fields come back on top. Its very important and significant specially of all this period of deterioration in olivias in the country especially the economic and financial collapse due to the multiple blockade due to the frequent conflict near and around oil and over the past 7 years now the National Oil Corporation thats the state oil firm based here in tripoli stated that it is lifted for some measure on all adil fielders ports and installations across the country the 2 remaining go feel the oil at ports that were. Half the force of a similar and the north actually that to measure the Oil Exporting Ports in the country now the state oil phone also stated that Oil Production is going to increase to 800000. 00 Barrels Per Day within 2 weeks of that of these recent arrangements and it may be a 1000000 barrels a day within a month now remember that this is not going to happen easily because in order to bring good production back to normal this takes a lot of effort and also sophisticated maintenance for operation to bring the honest relations to produce oil back to normal. This comes only 2 days after the cease fire agreement arrangements that was reached by the 5 plus 5 military commission in geneva and also ahead of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum that is due to be held in tunisia early november which is going to choose an executive authority and you executive authority to run the country for 18 months through this transitional period nic thanks very much for the mahmoud abbas. Triply lets take this on explore this further minute shotokan is an International Oil and Energy Consultant joins us from london it is the talk and 1st of all how hollow it is and will it be famiglia to to get back on line to get all the oil supplies back online given whats happened in the past months and policy is that the infrastructure the whole infrastructure pipelines and so forth must be in a dos state well as your correspondent very clearly mentioned there is no a serious problem so when we grow as an oil where which is flowing already under pressure or pumps when we close it down it takes time to do well it is it when it gets kids taking but doesnt mean that it is destroyed in fact the oil that is not produced is kept in the reservoir and there is everards pressure is maintained and that is good but you can do to get this started they have to close open venerates i dont know lubricate and so on to get there will restart it again and installations also to get released on so its a matter of operations it is quite normal for people to think of the tragedy in nickel rate when Saddam Hussein forces were leaving. With the wells on fire and so on and off course it took. Many many months or years to get kuwaiti production back in libya thanks a lot it is not the case in technical people no matter where they are located they are have been feeding responsible for their own installations and so when they close them down to close the proper precautions and so they can get back as a matter of time as was mentioned maybe a few months they can get back to more than 1000000 production with more than 11. 00 it was 1300000. 00 Barrels Per Day before these unfortunate options and also it is unfortunate for the libyan people and as we were discussing earlier stoppages of outputs has cost the country one 130000000000. 00 in lost revenues so this is crucial for libya to stand on its own 2 feet. Of course yes now the figures are there the price of oil is there and the exports spend it they come here to point to. A large amounts of revenue that the poor libyan people reply so i always felt that i have visited and i know libyan people have worked or reason to be on or inspiration to people i feel very sad when this war that civil war was going on and im quite happy and i prayed that this peace would last any dollar would be all bad news too and only exporting country like libya or others why really dependent on oil export oil market and commodity exporters so for your libyan economy. Production is critical as good that is coming back on lets hope that these operations will be sustained yet you say you pray for the peace to last how fragile is this piece how easy would it be for things just to go backwards for you know 2 more shutdowns again. But my im no a political analyst but it seems that the balance between the 2 hours or the big hours in the International Scene at parity they have their reached an agreement is it terry key is on the Central Government side in libya russia is on the general have their side in libya whereas in syria russia and turkey are both supporting. The syrian president has that so these are strange i mean and really one cannot understand exactly at his i kind of understand i just pray that hope that this balance this chess game that the big power leaders politicians are playing irrespective of their life and this any of their people i hope this will lead to peace and continuation of normal operations for the libyan people i mean youre talking great here not a system appreciate that thanks very much indeed pleasure. All right plenty more still ahead on news hour including demonstrators demanding reforms in thailand are back on the streets as part of the hold a special session. That painting in a pandemic well look at how it could help britains economy recover from current. Brought in the history books yep well hear from matt Lewis Hamilton authors were told break the race when its coming its. So the 3rd attempt to uphold a humanitarian ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia has come into effect the 2 sides have been fighting over the disputed territory of nickel in a car back but is during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accused the other of violating the agreement and the latest truce was mediated by the United States this time despite heavy fighting on sunday oh what i dont how it will join us shortly from to have been as a by john but 1st lets go to rory chalons whos in the media in the town of agenda. Which is just outside the capital and so weve been here before clearly one of the armenians say. Well the Prime Minister nick is saying that so far though he says there have been provocations this cease fire is holding for the moment and its armenia is it hearing too its there have been accusations from both sides that violations have occurred but it in the moment it does seem like this ceasefire attempt is lasting a bit longer than the previous one just over a week ago which collapsed pretty much within minutes how long it will last well its difficult to say however im in a cemetery here about an hour outside of yera van and you can get a sense here of the kind of history the way that this conflict is so deeply ingrained into the psyche of armenia these graves down this side of me here theyre all soldiers some of them died in the 1st nagornokarabakh war of the early ninetys and then at the end theres a new grave and that contains the bodies of commander and his son who were both caught in the same drone strike about 10 days ago the son died instantly in the father passed away 2 days later so that gives you an idea of how much armenia is hurting at the moment you see the funerals taking place all over at the moment and this cease fire i think is more in the interests of the armenians than it is in the interests of the as there is because as a by john has been making territorial gains over the last few weeks and you get the sense there that you know the popular mood is to keep on pushing and that cease fires are not necessarily in azerbaijans best interest it wants to take back the whole of Nagorno Karabakh but we can hear hold of socal more about how things are over in azerbaijan just now i think youre right roy thanks very much indeed yes lets get the picture in azerbaijan we can join him and hes in the job there in. As a by john. Given that this is the 3rd attempt theres going to be skepticism about to hold any reason why we should be more hopeful this time around. When we just heard from the president and the hand that he had made he said they had been mortared his commanders to show restraint and not to respond to provocations i mean as we said there have been accusations from both sides. Just after d. S. Cease fire started at 8 am local time that there had been violations and i have to say weve been standing in this location for the past hour and we did hear some pops now i dont know in which direction that is fine we dont have any information at the moment but by and large compared to. 9 days ago when this when the cease fire was reaffirmed on october 17th it is much calmer but as ruiz said you know does is not really a good time for days here is you have a ceasefire day making day tauriel gased yesterday they reached who badly which is northwest of the border karabakh closer to the Iranian Border they closing in on the chin and as they advance they also get a hold of Natural Resources this is a report from the tartar river. Its been nearly 30 years since water was lost flowing into farmlands along the line of control between azerbaijan and armenia to save his crops of wheat clover and cotton. Had to dig up wells deep enough to reach the underground water but. I remember when the water was plentiful here i remember when these canals were built it was 974 rivers waters were rich in minerals and the crops were very good the underground water is not as rich in minerals anymore my annual yield is much lower and the quality of the crops is not as good. Water is one of the issues at the heart of the conflict between the 2 countries people here say their livelihood has been taken hostage by armenia which had controlled the Main Reservoir that supplies the water system in these from time areas until just a few weeks ago the tartar rivers fed by the dam which was built by dystopias but then fell under control after 8 seasons as a very land in the early 1990 s. Now azerbaijan says that. Stopped the flow of water so the river bed would dry up. As a belgian announced it had retaken control of the reserve were in the 2nd week of the conflict. The road leading there is a radio under construction despite its proximity to the front line and continue to shelley. And water has started trickling again to the tar tar river which runs about 200 kilometers along to kind of a region and surrounding areas. Water started to arrive in some regions but it hasnt reached everywhere yet we need the water to start flowing the river again we are depleting the underground water and we need the water from the reservoir to increase the underground reserves is going to take time before the farmers here enjoy you want to flowing in their canals again many need to be weeded out and repaired it will also take time before the tartar river is full again but for many here the little water that is a ready reaching it is a sign that as it by jens army at the moment is making some territorial gains. Well there is momentum in this country the political and military leadership do have widespread Popular Support and many people respond to sit didnt really agree on the idea of a ceasefire they thought it will give army time to regroup and reinforces defensive lines on the other side but they also say that this is really the time to go for it once and for all and solve this problem that was echoed also by the words of president. He said that for many years as as a journalist told that it could be only a political solution that hasnt worked there is also the option of a military solution and its happening at the moment he also said he didnt disagree was a ceasefire and negotiations but only under the precondition that theres actually a timetable for full withdrawal of armenian troops from all the occupied lands. Have been reporting that for months about. Well early a ceasefire was meant to allow the 2 slices what prisoners and retrieve that theyve been quick to collapse the 1st was announced on october the tense it was brokered by russia during marathon talks in moscow and both sides accused each other of breaking that minutes after it took effect a 2nd truce was confirmed in paris a week later it came after at least 13 civilians were killed by shelling in azerbaijan the 2nd biggest city of gunja again it was violated within minutes in this latest attempt that comes after the u. S. Extra state hosted both countrys Foreign Ministers on friday the ceasefire was announced by the state department on sunday and as weve been hearing its all pretty fragile so lets speak to Patrick Walsh whos a historian of the caucasus region and a political analyst joins us on skype from belfast Northern Ireland mr walsh welcome to the program as weve just been hearing from of course one horrible hammett this is not a good time for these areas to have a cease fire they are making advances any reason for us to suspect that it will last. Salaam aleikum yes i think we need to look at the relative positions of both sides to analyze this question on the armenian side i think you know theyre obviously going the worst of things on the battlefield and also theyve been sending out mixed messages last week with Prime Minister passion yand saying that there was no diplomatic solution possible yet his foreign minister was saying that this was the only possible solution there seems to be a lot of division in europe but some of the problem they have really is theyre losing the war on the battlefield and it is actually a very good times have a cease fire from the us as a push on the site of course the opposite is the problem yes aries are obviously. Winning a lot of New Territory would impact their not their territory and theyre actually wanting to either finish this war up in the next few weeks militarily or else produce a situation in which a peaceful resolution of the conflict can be obtained at the conference table. International law and the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council which support them so it isnt an opportune time for the us about johnnies to have a cease fire and there will be an intense on pushing for it a diplomatic solution that can be long lasting and enjoying ok because they will be worried i think as your correspondents earlier say its that this is a armenia really just looking for a breathing space in the conflict right recruit their forces so senators let me just jump in as if they profess. Right if the 1st 2 cease fires were brokered by russia and then this one has been brokered by the United States whats different about the terms and what kind of implications does it have that one has by the United States where as the previous 2 were by russia. Well you know looking at the actual text of the of the statements it looks very similar it really refers to the previous cease fire so it suggests that you know this is just like a 3rd time lucky it was situation i think possibly yes the if you look at the composition of the main scroope you have france and you have russia and have United States i think you know when you think from years of bush on the side france and russia are seen as pro armenian United States where the balancing side of this the americans were seen as more objective so i think perhaps this is swung it on the as a push on the site to give peace a chance because they seem to have perhaps a more objective side although they are worried obviously of the armenian the strength of the armenian lobby in california and other parts unites states so but i think that theyre trying to give peace a chance in this case. Was pretty bad picture was speaking to us from belfast the northern alliance. Thank you very much ok and lets take a whether one has really. Things of temporary cotton down in vietnam saddles a tropical depression when it made landfall in the us within the last 24 hours more love which is just going across the philippines is however a different story its been strengthening as it went across manure in particular and has now become a target this is what it did when it going through eastern there before it was a typhoon but whilst it was still strengthening and as did the last one this was the damage from the wind in this case and also the rain downed power lines for example so power cuts and trees this is a progress of monov its moving quite quickly so its like to make landfall in vietnam again sometime during wednesday night is that its fully strength just for its land unfortunately its much stronger than the last landfall we had well see winds about 150 Kilometers Per Hour which makes it the equivalent of a pretty high category one hurricane its already carrying weighs about 10 meters so youve got that additional problem on this coast of viet nam the rainfall potential is obviously fairly high so denying could see about 250 millimeters yet more right now the whole of this part of the it now has already flooded the east a bit recently this is course is not good news.

Large crowds of protesters are marching towards the German Embassy in the thai capital of bangkok they want to petition germany to investigate the tiny kings use of powers during his stay in the very alps where he has spent most of this year demonstrates is have not specified what they believe the king has misused the special session of parliament was held earlier to discuss months of protests now calling for reform of the government and all of the monarchy you can see there the protests very much ongoing at lets speak to start his life for a sim bangkok and the protesters intent on keeping up the pressure. They do nic absolutely and theyre on the march here to the German Embassy there about 2 kilometers away they started marching probably about 1520 minutes ago expect to see them in the coming hour and what theyre doing as you mentioned theyre going to present a letter to the embassy here to the about the german ambassador asking them to investigate the kings use of powers in germany we say that because theyre doing this because the king this year has spent most of his time overwhelmingly most of his time in germany not in thailand so what theyre looking for the German Government is to look into if theres any breach of law because he was exerting his powers as king of thailand in german on german soil so theyre asking them to investigate thats what those protesters over a 1000 about are marching their way here again probably in the next hour whats interesting while weve been here waiting for them to come the German Foreign minister has said that they will continue investigating the kid the use of the kings powers while hes been in germany so obviously this is something that the German Government is looking into but obviously this is a symbolic move by these protesters marching here in front of the German Embassy and handing over a letter we dont really expect a high ranking official from the embassy to come out and receive that letter but the letter will be just delivered nonetheless nic what about the special session of parliament discussing these these months of protests any progress that. At all what we know is that you know its a 2 day special session the parliament was supposed to cut reconvene normally next week it was brought forward these 2 days on monday and tuesday a special session and its not nothing thats going to come out of it is legally binding there are no kind of legislation is no legislation is going to pass that has some kind of binding aspect to it but what it is is the 1st political dialogue since these protests ratcheted up back in july so this has been the time where the main opposition has called again for the Prime Minister to step down they did that on the Parliament Floor for the 1st time. Today on monday and then also the ruling party also countered what the protesters have been doing what theyve been doing on the streets and what laws theyve broken and how they want things to move forward peacefully so this is kind of the 1st political airing of the protests that have been going on since july if you will again this will go on again tomorrow what it is the way its kind of mapped out is it depends on. How many members of parliament they have is how long the speech you speak each side and obviously the ruling party has more time to speak and theyve been doing so today and again thats what well see on tuesday but again nothing binding but again this is the 1st time were able to see in a Political Forum hash out the main parties hash out whats been happening on the streets across thailand. In bangkok. Factory workers in students have gone on strike in better roost piling the pressure on the president Alexander Lukashenko to want to resign at the walkout follows sundays major rally by more than 100000 people and have no longer a legitimate leader brian has this report. This was the Police Response on the streets of the belorussian capital minsk. In what the opposition is calling state sponsored violence. Security forces deployed stun grenades and tear gas on protesters whove been marching against the president Alexander Lukashenko.

By the march was called by Opposition Leader scotland a taken off skya whod given lucas shank until the end of some day to resign or face a nationwide general strike. Organizers say more than 100000 people were out banging drums chanting strike. And long live ballo roofs when you have them are still only unfortunately i think that lukashenko will not accept the ultimatum he lives in his own world he thinks that many people support him and that were all wrong that were drug addicts prostitutes and vandals but were just peaceful he cannot understand it yet we are afraid of what will happen next week we will go on strike. But this is the 11th straight weekend of process since the disputed election in august 1. That the opposition says was rigged taking a skier as his main rival she ran against him after her husband was jailed and was forced into exile in lithuania following the vote. Lucas shank has been in power for more than 25 years and doesnt want to quit his main ally russia has offered both political and military support and assistance for magics also speak out all you know all United States and all the rest of them have given very clear water and. I think sooner or later he will have to step and we have to be. An advisor to take enough skier says look the schenker only knows the language of power and fear and that it will lead him nowhere brian al jazeera. Now the republican controlled u. S. Senate is in the middle of an all night session after voting to limit the debate for trumps nominee for Supreme Court justice despite opposition from democrats it is is now just after 6 oclock in the morning on capitol hill and republicans are continuing the session overnight to try and speak up proceedings after democrats refused to agree to a recess means the final confirmation a vote for judge a mccain about could happen later on monday and no nominee to the Supreme Court has ever been confirmed this close to a president ial election. And staying in the United States Vice President my presence has continued to campaign despite several close aides testing positive for corona virus and were just a week to go until the election the attention of both sides is now focused on the battleground states the state of wisconsin but lives on a political knife its the traditionally Democratic State recently replaced a republican governor the democrats it won and now the democrats hope to recapture a state that seems to be swinging their way 100 reports from door county in wisconsin donald trump swept into wisconsin like a cool wind off Lake Michigan and he left in 2016 with an upset victory in a state that hadnt voted for a republican for president since 19 eightyfour any did it in part here in door county a swing county that voted twice for george w. Bush twice for barack obama and in 2016 for donald trump door county is a tree lined peninsula jutting into Lake Michigan home to dairy farms apple orchards multimillion dollar lakefront homes and tourism. At the farmers markets and quaint stalls on this scenic landscape voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i when into the big is. The person who had American People could actually vote for somebody who. Treated other people that way its. Totally totally blew me away our president has done a good job. And whether hes going to get in or not i dont know and i hope he does. I dont think get a guy is. A Strong Enough to handle the job. With just days before the sun rises on the november 3rd Election Party activists say both sides know if not for wisconsin Hillary Clinton would be running for reelection and they are more motivated this time very early on they realize that joe biden was py going to be the candidate they could best beat donald trump theres a lot more enthusiasm and energy both sides people didnt realize probably that. You know they maybe didnt think it was going to go to trump so i think they know ok we want to last time we got a shot this time too and i think people realize how pivotal wisconsin is in wisconsin and elsewhere political lines makers say battleground state polls are more reliable than they were when trump won upset victories across the great lakes states but 2016 has left many wary i think biden will win wisconsin but i think it will be fairly narrow even though the polls are saying 5. 00 to 7. 00 points it wouldnt surprise me if it came down to a point like last time or maybe 2 points whatever the polls say if theres one thing we learned from wisconsin in 2016 is that you cant take this great lakes state for granted john hendren aljazeera door county was concert.

Thousands have celebrated through the night in chile as the nation voted in favor of rewriting its constitution an overwhelming majority chose to scrap the current charter imposed under the military leadership of august of pinochet but theres still a long journey before a new constitution is put in place as A Latin America to see a new been reports from santiago. A massive celebration to mark the end of the last vestige of chiles former military dictatorship. One chorus this family in the same part of santiago that became the epicenter of protests for more than a year. Millions of chileans whod been calling for profound social reforms had demanded a new constitution to replace the one written 40 years ago under the military dictatorship the country dressed in his sunday best 90 year old who looked at our school when to vote in his working class neighborhood not even concerns about the coronavirus pandemic could keep him at home but or good order would. Go to god that i never had a historic opportunity like this before and never will again its the 1st time that we get to participate in the creation of a constitution that we can happen in puts in the traditional structure of our country instead of having it imposed i only hope i live to see the new chill a little human. On the other side of town members of the youngest generation of voters or excited about having cast a ballot for the very 1st time this is the 1st in citizen a list saints or election that i have ever been convinced is going to work because. Well this is a very important age for to live up to. When the vote counting began it was clear the chileans by an overwhelming majority had approved the formation of a constituent assembly whose delegates will be chosen by popular vote and with gender parity. They will ultimately be the ones to draft a new constitution a process that could take 2 years there was never much doubt about which choice chileans would make but now that its official the chileans will be writing a new constitution the big question is will they have the patience to wait for the change that theyve just voted for to take place. Upon this is the decision fear it will create false expectations and lead to economic instability which will only fanned more social unrest. Im concerned about the way this is being generated we need change were not sort of restlessly calmly. Conservative president s of us d. M. P. Whod hoped for a very different outcome conceded defeat in a conciliatory message to the country.
