Hoping that trump will lose will mean some of them sharing in a u. S. President and his administration. At the michael jr is the name youre welcome to the program now this for treats of dont know where we need traditional you outfit hangs in an upscale restaurant in lagos e. T. S. Show of support for the u. S. President rights but just like in the states chums bid for reelection divides views on the continent so will it be trump or his democratic challenger joe biden weve taken our comrades to the streets across africa from uganda to south africa i would love to see the democrats win but they were the most like. To go to and inspiring to with the minorities as policy all over the. Please dont you have easy is really really not. A good president when it comes to. How to handle people and how we treat. People even the you hate account weve been doing that from the us next week theres no doubt about that. I think that joe biden was too soft for the 200 team down to earth i mean he goes down to people he puts himself. On tries to. You know solve the fog. Calculator not like fire and done all the. Couple should be. Good in 1000 as a change their game plan for my thinking is. Joe biden is going to win thank you guys to me now they making it look like it doesnt. Want to do we should be an example. And if. Im expected to do this in the bag. Some interesting mixed reactions that now africas largest economy and most populous country nigeria has had overall a Good Relationship with a u. S. President who he was one of very few african heads of state to be invited to the white house i was back in 2018 but that gesture did not stop the u. S. From placing a travel ban on nigerians. For failing to meet u. S. Security information sharing standouts but for some that has no. Saying here is how the media lamoriello makes ends meet. She also gives money to cures. More young has a degree in business administration. But here in nigeria jobs for young people even those with a good education. Thats why she applied for a visa to work in the United States in february. So there. Is even more these. Different. People we see that is not in nigeria. A precondition was rejected after the u. S. Suspended immigration from nigeria on january 30th. Thats why more young wants to see u. S. President voted out. Shes praying reveals a freeze on nigerians will be defeated next year. When i believe that this would be not for me to be in that we. Dreams of life abroad nigerian. On the us. Has a green card but he and hes from me decided to come back to nigeria he says racial tensions have surged and that trump. Not want to be in the u. S. That doesnt stop writing critically about the visa for his 4 nigerians. In the u. S. Nigeria has given you know to the United States a number of ph d. Holders we contribute a lot to the economy we pay taxes we pay Social Security a 1000000 ideas are paid to this which is great you dont have to spend it because when they grow they come back and live in nigeria so when you get the excuse from government you know. From people who are contributing to the u. S. Society you begin to wonder what exactly is it has been said. Hopes that if trump is voted out the u. S. Will open its due to feel nigerians again and to become more welcoming for those like if you make it to us who is. Joining me now is that. I was winning political cartoonist satirist and a political commentator based in nairobi hello patrick its great to have you youve written a lot about the u. S. Elections in relation to africa one of them is titled the black face election looms what are you driving at. Well thanks fast forward thanks for having me on the point im trying to drive there has been. Kind of what an african election is and theres been lots of comparisons of whats happening in the u. S. With. Perceive elections in africa. And the violent. Was done i actually offered a lections in many african countries not all of them pretty good elections really. Really. Actions. Much better than the us does it so the u. S. Electoral nuff one i think its a critique of an african one which is where the black face comes. Ok so so in doing so what are some of the major issues happening in the u. S. Youre trying to address them. I think in the us for us from what i see it the us house for a long time being one of the loud has proponents all 3. Of them democracy in general and preaching to africa for very long time about how we should improve our system and actually helping in many cases among the countries to improve that but it seems as it was preaching what it was drinking wine. The us been a little reform on its own system and it moved to work. On terrorism was donald trump how did it can exist and what we see. In. Within its elections you know when you look at it you wonder you know why is it that you were teaching us about democracy but not practicing it at home you know why why did you does about how to hold a free critical election but not practicing this at home so in a sense this is the us coming up victim of its own hubris it needs to go back home and start looking at its own systems you know whether it is about being a uniform way of people registering to vote some of the things thats been insisting should be happening you know having one Electoral Commission who has the the whole exercise and they are in the us they do not have this you know so they really need to sit back and look at their own systems and walk around how they need them. Now you mentioned earlier. President trump in this case have been autocratic while being president and you expect africans to maybe stay away theres still some support on the continent for trump though they want him to win and why is that the case you think. Well i think within the continent there is lots all of the board in countries like kenya and nigeria where you go a really powerful religious group specially the right wing. Eventually coal in china is really active there and i think that again that you from the u. S. You know where. Is one of the biggest sporting blocs supporting what can the u. S. Lead from democratic countries in africa. All this lots to learn how to run elections Credible Elections none what to do when it comes to preserving the peace and how to carry out an election time when you have crisis i think african countries over the last 50 years have done a lot of work on the. Electoral system the democratic systems they have learnt how to contain executive you know. Big of a gun. Is pretty much lost on you know you he still have a view here and there in the main but it was 20 years ago so theres lots that africa has learned doing the focus that the u. S. Can learn from ok patrick i was when in political cartoonist satirist im for lets go commentator in nairobi thank you for your time.

In the jungles of southern mexico the luck and done people are one of the countrys most isolated indigenous groups without contact to the outside world they preserved their enjoyment mayan culture for centuries and recent years thats starting to change and one of the outsiders theyve let in is austrian photographer. Mine hes been visiting them for over a decade now documenting their traditions before they disappear. The maya a lost civilization that practiced astronomy and mathematics time was sacred and made him and sacrifice his tribute to the gods. Martin engelman travel to Central America for the 1st time in 2008 in a small village in the rain forest of southern mexico he encountered the left hand on descendants of the mayans whose ancestors fled to the forests from spanish conquered anthropologist alice powers and nearly often travels with a woman. She lives with the lack on gone 6 months a year and speaks their language the entrance of the cave the court back. From dawns believe this is where the souls of the deceased are purified on the way back from the underworld to about 700 mine condones have survived to this day. The culture can still be found will cease to exist in a very few years and for me as a photographer this is a painful realisation but i cant stop it and i had to accept that of. This new. Has arrived in the village of know how there is now electricity telephones streets there are only a few old people left the last guardians of the groups cultural heritage. And women also met the last shaman mouthpiece of the gods don antonio. Born and in the fame of the mayan and dawns everything in life has a meaning of the everything lives everything is animated no matter whether a small blade of grass or tree everything.

Museums and galleries in england are going back into lockdown this thursday but before that happens we managed to get a tour of the architecture for dogs show in london weve got a 4 legged friends to go sniff it out. In london sure shes a female shiba inu inspects the architecture for a doctor exhibition of creative furnishings for mans best friend. The pieces of the creations of internationally renowned designers and architects. Massive car is a london based architect who has gone to the dogs. Interested in giving the brief to create architecture for dogs instead of humans and its not about making houses now of course pacific in the prefer it was about trying to express yourself at the scale of the dog and so whats really interesting about it the creative tools are to get sharp and thats the bit where to start to see things from a different perspective and see how the dog sees the world. The concept for the exhibition came from japanese designer kenya howrah from 2012 it went on saw around the world only now arriving in your a. Massive contact with this design i see you its intended for dogs with black coats. The idea is that its the dog is able to camouflage itself amongst a kind of black background is made from sheeps wool the whole thing has a smell of delicious smell the dog which attracts it initially and the shape you can see starts on the ground and lifts upwards in this curved arc the idea is that kind of resembles the way the dog discovers the world around it maybe the way it sees is by smelling the ground and slowly looks up to discover whats surface in front of it. For sure theres plenty to discover. But its about more than seeing and sniffing its more than an exhibition its really a. Global project whereby people can interact by downloading versions of the pieces which are exhibited and make them themselves we upload them and they are then shared via social media. Market share just for adults sounds fucking but sure she seems to approve. Cars to get a new dog.

For such starts november 6th on t. W. This is the news live from straight in shock after 4 people were killed in a shooting. A supporter of the socalled Islamic State police shoot the gunman dead and the arrest of a suspect. And says it will divide the nation also on the program. Of the United States after the most divisive president ial campaign for decades with almost 100000000. Choice facing american voters. Head to. The variance will be hoping to put a stop. To the program. Austrias declared 3 days of National Mourning after 4 people were shot they were killed in a shooting rampage in the capital v. M. At least one gunman opened fire at multiple locations in the city center has been identified as a 20 year old sympathizer of these lawmakers states militant group interior minister cognate hama said the Police Killed the assailant 9 minutes after he opened fire he went on to say that 14 people have been arrested in connection with the attack and the police have so far found no evidence of a 2nd gunman of an accomplice on over 50 percent of the pedia material has been viewed with the evaluation is not yet completed the videos so far if no indication of a 2nd perpetrator however since the evaluation has not yet been completed we cannot finally say how many perpetrators actually responsible for the crime or just operation found for at least scenes. Lets go to vienna then to join journalist steve welcome steve lets start with the number of attackers Authorities Say they believe there was only one gunman we just heard the interior minister say he hasnt ruled out the possibility of another attack why so much uncertainty. I think the problem was is that the investigators were just inundated with so much information as they tried to really create this 9 minutes of carnage they were getting videos from smartphones witness accounts and so the perpetrator was popping up in all kinds of places as they try to accurately recreate the 9 minutes theyre finding at this point that they are probably dealing with a lone wolf attack ok so the dead suspect had been through a day of Radicalization Program and even Early Release is this apparent lapse likely to have consequences. There was obvious friction at the press conference this afternoon between the interior minister the interior minister and he had other people from the Justice Ministry and then the chief of police because the police did their job they caught the killer and they had him in custody and then a judge set him free because of Good Behavior so it looks like the killer was able to game the system and he went through this deal Radicalization Program and he fooled the people who who ultimately set him free that shouldnt happen and the interior minister made it clear today that it wont happen again which is why they conducted so many house raids and 14 further arrests were made because they dont want this to happen again. Mauser is now looking with 3 days mourning clearly this has hit people hot. Absolutely the 1st thing is that there was a minute of silence observed at noon today that brought members of the government members of parliament from the opposition parties as well to come out and present a united front the president nixon to founded by then he spoke saying that hate and division will not find Fertile Ground in austria and now this message is being carried forward theres a meme being sent around now with the flag of vienna being turned into an icon in the words are that love is stronger than hate what is being said about lessons to be from this whether it be through day vatican eyes ational better. Screening of people coming into the country. The Justice Ministry has received a very stern warning that they need to vet people indeed Radicalization Programs much more thoroughly and again the house raids that were conducted were based on evidence that was gathered when they police stormed the apartment of the killer they gathered an enormous amount of information brought that together and then the looking into all the contacts that this individual had and to cover their bases to make sure that there isnt a further perpetrator out there who may be supported the attack or if there was a connection to perhaps another perpetrator the police the Justice Ministry theyre being very thorough now about covering all bases to make sure this does not happen again thank you for that. Well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world britain has raised its Terror Threat level to severe its 2nd highest following the attacks in austria and in france severe means that an attack is considered highly likely home secretary pretty brutal says that this is a precautionary measure and not based on any specific threat. French defense minister Florence Pollard says her forces have killed more than 50 jihad is aligned with alqaeda in abstract or mali the operation took place near the borders with book in a fast so unusual why are Government Troops a battling an islamic insurgency. Ugandan singer and opposition politician bobby why has been arrested again just after being accepted as a candidate in next years president ial election was dragged from his car amid scuffles between police and his supporters as to why aims to challenge president Yoweri Museveni whos been in power since 1906. A 4 Year Old Girl has been rescued from the rubble of destroyed the buildings in western turkey almost 4 days after a large earthquake the death toll has now reached 102 with more than a 1000. And you can i go on honduras have been moving people to safety as hurrican at bears down on their Atlantic Coast forecasters warning of massive flooding and landslides they say the storm packing winds of more than 240 kilometers an hour could whip up waves more than 5 meters 5. Thats the United States where in person voting is in full swing and one of the most polarized president ial elections in the countrys history voters are heading to the polls in on election thats expected to shatter voter turnout records around 200000000 americans cast their votes before polling day and try to hopeful joe biden has made a last Minute Campaign stop in his childhood home town of scranton and the crucial. A swing state of pennsylvania is ahead in National Polls a race that many battleground states is tight and his Party Donald Trump has told supporters that his final rally to expect a beautiful victory. Well having entered the election things seem to be looking pretty good for joe biden with a consistent lead in the polls pollsters have been wrong of course like the last time in 2016 when Hillary Clinton looked like making history as americas 1st female president but despite her poll lead and winning the popular vote americas Electoral College system was against her votes cast fish year the latest polls give joe biden an even bigger National Lead 8. 5 Percentage Points so what lessons have pollsters learned from the 2016 result and could be looking at another upset. Well Courtney Kennedy is director of survey research at the Pew Research Center which is looking into how the 2016 polls underestimated the donald trump welcome to the w a back in 2. 16 the Electoral College system meant that Hillary Clinton lost several states that polls predicted she would win so where did the pollsters go wrong. Well there are 2 major problems with that one is there was actually a late swing in trumps favor in a number of those key states where we had roughly 15 percent of voters in 2016 really torn who to vote for whether to vote at all in those voters bro very heavily for donald trump in the final days so some polls just missed that late swing and the other problem was that most state polls had not ensured that they were representative of the state in terms of the level of education of the voters and that was very problematic because right now in the u. S. Education levels are very tightly tied to votes for president so they had too many challenged graduates in those polls last time and they had too many Hillary Clinton supporters right there was a fairy after the election that they were shy of trump support so that people who were unwilling to declare themselves outside of a ballot box i believe you new claims about what did you find we did while that got tremendous attention theres very little data to back that up i did 5 different tasks looking for evidence of that and each one turned up little to no evidence that people were lying to pollsters on masse you know sometimes some people will lie to pollsters but its really not in numbers large enough that thats whats the problem with polling these days and so have pew research changed your methods 2016 election. We have changed our methods although not for reasons tied to the election or say but we are long the pollsters who have switched from recruiting reem samples of americans by simply telephone numbers to instead sampling them by through addresses home addresses and then in interviewing people on line ok so this year mentioned earlier the polls have been pretty stable behind joe biden they have been given a consistent lead. Does not tell us anything it suggests that theres always a chance of a late break something unexpected at the very end of a Campaign Making a difference but the chances of that are much lower this year back in 2016 about 15 percent of voters were undecided in figuring things out this year that number was more like 5 percent so it absolutely has been a more stable race and people on both sides have been much more committed to their candidate good talking to you thank you for joining us Courtney Kennedy from the Pew Research Center i was not just at home with donald trump is dividing opinion with his america 1st policies brush style on the diplomatic stage is also polarized opinion outside the u. S. D. W. Has been asking people around the world who they hope will win. Government beholden from whens because i really see him as a patriotic past and his interest is in his country and not in politics or trying to do something to benefit to self. But if you travel by for the moment being i know that biden is ahead of trump but it doesnt mean anything like last time hillary was ahead but still won so i can only hope and pray that trump will not have a 2nd term i support do not drop because im a businessman. To run the country you need to be a businessman i dont think trump is going to do the elections why because trump is arab and he feels and i dont. I hope that democracy for variables and the majority. Decision. Whatever it may be. We have the support to look at some football now and bundesliga leaders by the munich a chopping to ostrich book in the champions me a minutes silence will be held for the victims of the vienna attack by and have been dominant at home and in the Champions League but have reason to be cautious.

Across the west chinas economic model is coming in for closer inspection. The long held notion that free trade would bring democratic reform and openness to Chinese Society is now largely perceived as fiction instead as chinas economy has strengthened so has beijings resolve to go its own way made evident with recent crackdowns in st john and hong kong. What happens in hong kong and you. Have remarkably lead to economic consequences for the chinese chinese and at the school now its not just the u. S. Thats mulling a rebalance of its economic relationship with china yet no other country has taken more dramatic steps. Trumps trade war was a shock to the close relationship between the worlds 2 biggest economies to the pain of American Farmers and Small Businesses as well as the allies caught in the middle. But it also hit beijing hard before interim trade deal chinas economy was struggling its economic model suddenly vulnerable. To the pandemic has given china an opportunity for a narrative reset to argue that its economy is surging back that the domestic economy can offset weaker exports that hong kong will remain vibrant. Chinas economy is indeed growing stronger but there are challenges the u. S. Still has the worlds reserve currency as well as increasingly like minded allies. More reason for china to watch what happens on tuesday. Now again in case it needs are iterating the u. S.

A must in order for the. American Economic Prosperity to continue we have to get another relief package through and then we need. A Credible National plan to get the pandemic under control and thats something that President Trump has not been able to offer so United States has a Political Leadership vacuum right now that could change in the coming months and you add there there of d.
