White phosphorus as an incendiary is prohibited in its use where theyre awesome billions president and its uses a against military personnel is restricted if there are other less inhumane munitions that are available so the. The author of these here in armenia is saying that this is this use the as aries seems to be using White Phosphorous for is illegal under International Law and they have also said today that after these pledges that. Were made in geneva yesterday that the indiscriminate targeting of civilians would no longer be acceptable well the armenians are saying that. In a go to karabakh and shushi shell today various hits by azerbaijani rockets or or artillery pieces. The reaction from baku in azerbaijan as a bridge on has actually dismissed. As groundless the ministry of defense said in a treat actually that as a but doesnt put any kind of a weapons or munitions that are prohibited under International Law it also said that its side as about jan has proved that armenia has been moving White Phosphorus towards whole by gender which is south east. Corner. Now the position from us or by john has been all along that. Trying to widen this conflict it has tried that by.

Countries across europe are still trying to contain the daily rising coronavirus in texas poland has recorded nearly 22000 new cases field hospitals are being set up to deal with an influx of people swelling it recorded its highest increase in daily intake since on saturday more than 31000. Russia has also been dealing with a rise in cases a few hours ago it reported more than 18000 new Coronavirus Infections nearly matching fridays record high russia says there are not enough doctors to cope with the growing number of coronavirus cases there Officials Say vaccinations of people in moscow could be evolved out as early as next month. And greece has become the latest european country to impose widespread coronavirus restrictions Prime Minister kitty it costs its all talk it says most bars and restaurants will have to close for november and on time curfew will also be expanded green says reported fewer covered 19 cases than many of the European Countries have seen a gradual rise in infections throughout october and british Media Outlets are reporting that a new law down in england may be brought in as soon as next week a minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce the measures which could include the closure of all but essential shops its not all done could begin on wednesday and last until december tightened restrictions across europe are going into place despite track and trace systems which were supposed to help contain the outbreak but the Lancet Medical Journal has want to Contact Tracing apps can only work alongside Public Health control measures like physical distancing and the closure of indoor spaces this week German Health authorities admitted that lost control of the fictions despite having a robust control system the country is now going into a 2nd lockdown from monday in the past irelands track and trace system was overwhelmed thousands of people who tested positive were asked and form any close contacts themselves and earlier this month spain had to bring in the military to help enforce tracing as its cases searched in the u. K. There was hope that tested tracing would help combat the virus but its performing at an all time low a senior clinician has told aljazeera mismanagement is to blame Andrew Symonds reports from the north of england. To control. Testing and tracing must become a new way of life testing and tracing cost 51. 00 half 1000000000. 00 to set up 40 Management Consultants who are paid up to 9000. 00 a day to make it work what are they doing what are they doing what they like to come and sit with a few clinical case workers this caltech traits or an experience clinician says mismanagement or doctor staffing are among the litany of issues she faces so much rested on test and trace do you think its failed its increasingly failing. We dont get to people quickly enough though it needs to be within 24 hours ideally by the time where were calling people is 5 days since their positive test i do sometimes think whats the point its the fragmentation between the cases being passed from alls to Public Health local teams and back again it would be far better if we were more. And with record infection rate increases the number of people who arent self isolating is rising to its failing their only. Contact less than 60 percent of contacts of coronavirus cases and all of those people contacted we found a great many are not actually self isolating and the reason is they cant afford to because a lot of people on low incomes are 0 hours contracts actually are not going to be getting the money they need each week to actually put food on the table the n. H. S. Cove in 99. 00 and theres another issue the much heralded is causing frustration with high numbers of false alarms this is the one of the major issues is that you can check in with it but you cant check out i registered in a cafe in manchester more than 12 hours ago im now in a different city but the apps still has me there and if you look at the data log im in the cafe right up until midnight the only way to change that is to check in to another venue. But if i was going home then that app would still have me in the manchester cafe the absence of an anonymous alert to anyone who may be at risk its main feature is bluetooth scanning linking to other phones but that can cause even more false alarms what youre basically trying to do with the tracing now is simply get lots of people to shove isolated but then youve got an incentive problem because people realize that all that running an app is going to do is to ask them to repeatedly self isolate when there isnt actually a good reason to do so the u. K. s Prime Minister Burress Johnson promised world beating testing and tracing its nothing like that of the pandemic in europe is threatening a longer more deadly peak than in the spring and drew simmons out his era north of england. The us had another record in crown of ice cases on friday 94000 and texans were reported overall more than 9000000 americans are known to have contracted grown a virus despite that donald trump is marking lock down mrs elsewhere. If you look at europe theyre surging despite these draconian lock downs they have it locked down and theyre surging so what happens is you get it youre going to get if you get it stay away if you get it youre going to get better and then youre going to be immune and its a whole thing and it goes away but the vaccines will have. Still head on aljazeera will look at one of the 2 no vote is so important in the upcoming us president ial elections.

They want to focus 3000000000 pounds with a weapon that was 6000000000 pounds and. Theres no hope of any more because theres always a small caliber of people. Really really good most.

Polls have opened an ivory coasts president ial election there are 4 candidates including the incumbent caught up his attempt to secure a 3rd term has same preelection violence which is left at least 30 people dead the opposition has evolved to disrupt the vote raising fears of civil unrest. Sentosa look at the 4 candidates running for president in ivory coast i was somewhat harder is in his 2nd term after 1st being elected in 2010 it planned to hand over power in july but his chosen successor died of a heart attack his decision to run again sparked violence and angered the opposition and we called heads the Main Opposition Party he was president from 9932999 was deposed in a coup the big deal is boycotting saturdays vote. The son served as Prime Minister from 2000 to 2003 under then president Laurent Gbagbo has also boycotted the election and bears acquired the bettin an independent candidate and once a youth leader in the former governing party a manager has more now from of. We are looking at the possibility of what trying to strengthen his control in ivory coast mainly because the opposition has failed to organize itself and this much was said by former president Laurent Gbagbo who criticized the opposition to get organized before todays vote a loss in what would be he has been campaigning with a Strong Economy and he was telling a voters that they need somebody they can trust in a crisis situation like the one we are living in because of covered 9000 because of Global Economic problems and then of course because of his experience and his connections nationwide but his opponent mr. Khan on but is campaigning on a youth platform if you will that being the youngest of all the 4 candidates approved by the Constitutional Council he can draw the votes of the Younger Generation of ivorians who constitute by the way 2 thirds of the ivory coast population however its difficult to see how that will. That will pan out at the end of the day because he has a lot to cover and also hes been considered by some ivorians as a spoiler for the opposition for you not to have sort of take him out of the race after the opposition called for both court. Tanzanias 2 leading opposition parties say they will not recognize the election result after president john michael food it was declared the winner they say there have been widespread irregularities according to the national count michael 4112 and a half 1000000 votes of wednesdays election while his main challenger got less than 2000000. Just 3 more days before the u. S. Election there are 32000000 eligible voters of the teen or descent in the country that political inclinations vary and they dont vote as a single block different cultural backgrounds economic status means and religion play a role in how they cost their votes or benefits reports from los angeles. For decades Democratic Party strategist said she left tina as a kind of Sleeping Giant ready to rise up flex their political muscle and turn republican states like texas and Arizona Democratic there are millions of latino voters this year we know will be the 2nd largest voting bloc the high and hispanic white voters so there are millions of like you know voters who do vote and to the extent that millions of latinos vote its worth trying to understand their Political Behavior but not as members of a single black teen voting bloc led team those are diverse the us has seen waves of migrants from different latin american and caribbean countries and its that diversity that makes their politics and priorities different about one 3rd of letting those tend to vote republican the differences between National Groups is really just the 1st thing you could say about the diversity among latinos i mean theres a wire class the 1st there is highlight their religious backgrounds as the main driver of their politics trumps appeal to let you know voters tend to focus. The thriving preplan demick economy ive achieved more for hispanic americans at 47 months than joe biden is it in 47 years that message resonates with latinos like republican activist Anthony Cupp Asa i think hes done a phenomenal job former Vice President joe biden needs lead teano votes in swing states like nevada arizona and florida we cant make this we cant do it without you on his argument centers on trumps mishandling of the coded 19 pandemic and the high latino death toll thats 40000 latinos nationwide 40000. 30000000 people lost their jobs 3000000 latinos lost their jobs you see a salinas lost her job when the economy tanked now shes volunteering for biden im trying yeah im scared that i am not going to. Like that scholars say let tinos want candidates to show they care about their communities and he is definitely early and sustained engagement a new poll shows about 2 thirds of let you know voters think biden will do a better job than trump on key issues including the coronavirus as always the big question is about turnout how many latino voters will vote early by mail or in person on election day the answer to that question could determine who wins the battle for the white house robert oulds aljazeera los angeles. Tirzah has lifted a suspension on the account of us publication the New York Post the pro trump tabloids front page celebrated with a picture of twitter as bird logo flying out of a cage its count was frozen off the paper published articles about democratic president ial candidates joe bidens son tirzah said it violated its hacks materials policy which is now being changed maggot is a tech analyst and the c. E. O. Of connect safely dot org he says twist his rules can be inconsistent. Well i think twitter did make a mistake i mean look twitter has been accused of bias against conservatives and most of those accusations were plainly false what they mostly have done is taken away material which violates their terms of service in this case they had a rule about hacked materials but that rule actually doesnt make a lot of sense because its pretty common for journalists even to report on hacked materials now if the hacker him or herself had tweeted it then clearly twitter probably should shut shut it down but the fact that something is out there where how were gardley somehow its been obtained and of course theres a dispute whether it was in fact hacked at all its still material and the post i think had a right to post it even away whether you agree with it or not shouldnt be the issue the issue is did they have a right to share that information and twitter i think made a mistake and they realize they did and eventually back down they could ban summon from misinformation especially if its harmful for example covert 19 misinformation or misinformation about voting that could lead someone to not vote that that would be down by twitters policy but theres a lot on twitter thats wrong and twitter is not the arbiter of truth in every situation so the reason they did this is allegedly that happened here although they were also under a lot of pressure politically mostly from conservatives but you know there are principles at stake here and it could be next time it could be a liberal publication that publishes something that gets taken down and they need to have consistent principles and stick to them. Mexico says it will investigate her report the u. S. Government is deporting children alone with no sound thats no cost to them the New York Times says more than 200. 00 children from Central America have been expelled in the past 8 months once in mexico most a said to have been sent to child well says shelter has its own home and has more from mexico city.

Alumni of this university and some of the most prominent prodemocracy figures have been set out here in form alone because many currently in excel the king will attend this evenings Graduation Ceremony for some of those students that as a frustration one who wish to remain anonymous told us he wished this was a sermon which concentrated on the students and not the king. That well with me getting at and t. Im not attending the ceremony because i felt like this is supposed to be a ceremony for the students not someone else its supposed to be our day all these rules and regulations made me think that this occasion is really for who. The police and the army have been deployed around the university with a very tight security ring ahead of the kings attendance at the degree ceremony but it is perhaps a sign of how quickly things are changing open discussion of reform of the monarchy that indicates these graduates will be emerging into a very fast changing world.
