A deal that could revive yemen peace talks. The u. S. Is on track to break all records for the most early votes cast ever before election day. And im peter stemmed with all day sports news Will Champion south africa withdrawal from the Rugby Championship citing player welfare as their main concern. Lets begin in thailand where police and antigovernment protesters a fault in the center of the capital was a can was used to break through a barricade set up by demonstrators in bangkok for a 2nd night in a row thousands of people defy the government ban on gatherings calling for the Prime Ministers resignation and reforms to the monarchy the recorded statement the thai king said the country needs people who. Love the country love them all mickey scott high the has more from bangkok. There was that major confrontation at. A barrier that the protesters makeshift bury the protesters had used even using Police Barricades and thats resell the water cannon use there was another a secondary barrier built by the protesters just here again these water cannon but there were barely any protesters on the other side so they broke through that whats interesting now what were seeing a little little bit of it this is definitely a mop up operation right now is that some of the protesters have blended into the side streets so theres a little bit of a cleanup a small operation riot police going into the side streets to clear people out weve seen a couple of detentions no mass arrests or anything like that but the protest organizers saying it isnt officially over for the evening what we can also say definitively and that is that the gloves have come off approach has made the decision to go hard against the protesters they have not done that until this evening and what were hearing from officials too is that theyre going to use as they said and this came just after we saw that 1st main confrontation will use all means at their disposal and we saw what that means that means riot police and that means Water Cannons but again as they as that the leadership that still exists now saying the protest is over tonight we know that a nearby university has allowed their campus to be a safe haven for any the protesters dont want to leave no protesting on the campus but a safe haven but it seems as though right now its pretty much dissipated that most of those protesters have fled. Here came Prime Minister baraks johnson says before pad for no trade deal with the e. U. His office says negotiations are effectively over his comments come while european leaders have been meeting in brussels over 2 days. They want the continued ability to control our lives the city freedom of fisheries in a way duty is completely unacceptable to an independent country and since we have only 10 weeks until the end of the transition period on jan to the us i have to make a judgment about the likely outcome and to get us all ready and given that they refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st we arrange groups that are more like australia is based on simple principles of global free trade and the moment well go to natasha whos following that e. U. Summit from paris but 1st lets go to paul brown in london some tough talking there from the british Prime Minister calling the bluff playing hardball here or trade the negotiations really over. Now this is brinkmanship of the highest order language being used by the u. K. Prime minister is about as strong as he could possibly get to have to say he was asked whether he would walk away from the talks in a q. And a was just followed the statement that he gave and he didnt explicitly say that he was ordering the ukase negotiators to step back from the negotiating table and scrap the whole thing that said the language that he was using there pretty stark and it was brought to a head by the fact that the e. U. Summit in brussels the e. U. Had noted disappointment at the failure to agree a trade deal so far but gave Michel Barnier the negotiator another 2 weeks to try to see whether an agreement could be reached on the basis that mr johnson needed to make the necessary moves to make an agreement possible now that was like a red rag to a bull to the british side and hence the very sort of almost angry response that they gave this afternoon is at the end no but the fact is that Boris Johnson spokesman in an off camera briefing to journalists was pretty stark when he said as far as were concerned the trade talks are over on speculation of the shabani it could come to london on monday to try and keep the talks going he said look in negotiators should only come to london next week if theyre prepared to intensify talks and compromise otherwise do not bother if the trade talks are really over where would it leave talks on other issues that the whole idea of a negotiated brags that. Well dead in the water ringback frankly him and i mean obviously there would have to be talks because even though no deal brets it involves d the 2 sides trading with each other that the mutual trade is around 900000000000. 00 worth on an annual basis what we would have though of course would be the imposition of tariffs and quotas all of those without to be discussed at a bilateral level and indeed a multilateral level with the e. U. And with the u. K. So it will become intensely intensely complicated it wouldnt be the end of talks but it would make it very very difficult and very much more granular and fragmented all right thanks so much paul brown there bringing us the perspective of london lets continue to talk about this from the perspective of the e. U. Lets go over to tasha butler shes live for us from paris and weve heard some tough words from some of the e. U. Leaders like the german chancellor saying you know we dont want to deal any price our european leaders losing hope. Well i think leaders of heard all this before from the u. K. s Prime Minister this kind of tough talk nevertheless as far as the e. U. Is concerned things have to stay on track but what they are saying their message very clear at the end of this summit is that all 27 Member States are united on wanting a deal but a deal not at any cost not any price thats really the message weve heard over the last 2 days and that price is not coming to an agreement between the u. K. E. U. On certain sticking points on those sticking points remain were talking about the socalled level Playing Field the e. U. Wants assurances from the u. K. That britain would not undercut any competition unfairly in the e. U. Single market it wants more clarity on governance on how this trade deal any future trade deal would actually be regulated and of course there is this very contentious issue of fishing u. K. And the e. U. Fishermen have been using a been fishing in each others waters for decades centuries even the u. K. Says that breaks it means that it wants to control its own seas and who can access those waters the e. U. Says it wants things to remain as it is at the moment it wants a status quo in fact we have the french presence or management process and look fishing has been used by the u. K. By Boris Johnson for Boris Johnsons own political gain because fishing was a very popular issue for many bugs voters but macro saying theres no reason why fishing should be treated in a different way to any other trade or sector when were looking at negotiating this trade deal in its entirety elite are saying as far as theyre concerned they are are happy to keep negotiating its important to keep negotiating which is why michele. Briggs negotiators heading to london that was a message as well from the e. U. Council head shall michel. We are totally united to be determined to actually you know the 2 little agreement possible but that the trust in what 3 said yesterday remains right to the and you know that. Committed to leadership that we are ready to negotiate you agree to continue the negotiations and i hope that it would be possible to manage to made progress in the future but that we clit we are determined to we should little but not just also think of it push another european leader from the e. U. Summit the Prime Minister of finland a sign of how really serious the pandemic is becoming once again in the continent right. Well evaders this summit discussed greg said but they also of course discussed of the cove it pandemic many countries in europe are battling this 2nd wave and what we saw was the Prime Minister of finland leave the summit today she said she left because she found out that she had been in contact with somebody who has tested positive for covert 19 therefore she had gone home to finland to self isolate as a precaution we saw that happen on thursday with another e. U. Leader the head of the e. U. Commission. Who also brockley left the summit shortly after it had started later tweeting that somebody in her entourage had tested positive for covert 900 therefore she was choosing also to sell for isolate as a precaution. Overshadowing this summit in many ways you might say as i said something that the leaders spoke about shar michel the e. U. Council had in his presser said the e. U. Leaders have talked about how they can better coordinate on things like testing and vaccines because there is no doubt that so many countries are battling this 2nd wave and we also heard the german chancellor say that an upcoming e. U. China summit will actually be cancelled as leaders consider whether or not it is sensible to continue to meet in person in the circumstances all right thanks so much Natasha Butler a kyrgyzstan politician freed from prison by protesters just days ago has been appointed interim president so the jumper of was very Prime Minister on wednesday but is now assumed the presidency after the resignation of back of parliament has ended a state of emergency in the capital that had been declared to end days of unrest triggered by this futile the elections a new vote has to be held now within 90 days. Jafar of is opposed by some who say he was hes forced is why undemocratically into power but he also enjoys massive support is child stripes travelled to jump over all his birthplace and roll northern kid gets done. This is the village of kin sue and it is a cool region of northern kyrgyzstan it is the birthplace of the man who so his critics say has forced his way into power in the chaos since a palm tree election on october the 4th was cancelled because of vote rigging allegations so there is a part of it is now Prime Minister and until new elections are held acting president 3 weeks ago he was serving 11 year jail term for kidnapping but here and the month of the vast rule regions of kyrgyzstan he is loved by many. I believe in soldered to par off because hes faced many difficulties in his life he recognizes the problems that worry ordinary People Like Us things like corruption and land that was sold to neighboring countries some politicians support him and some do not but its meaningless because we support him. To power of supporters freedom from during postelection protests his Party Leaders scrambled for influence symbol to period to be a power vacuum to power supporters charged a peaceful demonstration. Many supporters of other opposition groups fled. In rural terms there are memorials dedicated to kill guess who died fighting for the soviets in world war 2 and statues of historical figures who was a member of parliament 10 years ago is known for his nationalist views not much has changed in the village where he was born since kyrgyzstans independence up to the breakup of the soviet union 30 years ago. The men ride horses to herd cattle and sheep most of the young have left for the capital bishkek will join the estimated 800000 killed is forced to find work abroad. Yet the rifles and i believe everything will be ok im very proud of study or japan or of he came from us ordinary people i saw him once and i asked him to be good not to bring shame on us a man should only leave good things and memories behind him. His critics describe him as a thug somebody who should still be in jail afraid to the democratic progress this country has made they say but the fact of the matter remains that the new Prime Minister southern japan has huge respect in the rural areas of kyrgyzstan areas that experts say have repeatedly been ignored by governments in the past Charles Trafford aljazeera you see cool kyrgyzstan.

To resolve their differences peacefully as he really. Does not. Want. Any suffering. And also the. Gate 90 or 80 percent of the countrys cause. Has been a public standoff outside a courthouse in Senate Colleague south africa over the killing of white farm worker the case is proving to be a flashpoint with thousands of supporters of the Economic Freedom fighters Opposition Party facing off with white farmers 2 black men accused of killing the 21 year old appeared in court for a bail hearing which was later this. Brendan horners body was found tied to a pole 2 weeks ago the farm manager had injuries to his face and neck last night who is executive secretary of the council for the advancement of the South African constitution he joins us by skype from cape town good to have you with us is it fair to say that its more than just one case that is on trial right now in senate. It did its become a little bit of a Flash Forward to not think the as you said in your introduction the economic targets of. An extremist Political Party have sought to use this case opportunistically did try and grab media headlines and have busted in the you know hundreds or a couple of 1000 supporters into cynical today to confront the white farmers that are protesting about this. But we also have to recall that a week ago a initial hearing of the 2 accused. Members of the white farmers tried to storm the courthouse and the Police Station and ultimately set a Police Vehicle alight so the effort for been using this as a as an attempt as they say to protect street state infrastructure but its really a political standoff between the ia fair and white right wing elements in the free state how well as south africa dealt with grievances when it comes to land issues. Well the issue of land is you know is an ongoing issue in south africa and everyone accepts including the government that the process of land reform which was promised for the with the advent of democracy in 1904 as not proceeded as speedily as it ought to have done just a week or 2 ago the government announced that several calls of farmland would be made available to aspiring black farmers on the leasehold basis but many people would say that this is come for a very late and has really come as a result of the pressure that was brought by the e. F. Efren elements within the Ruling African National congress to force a position overexposed creating land without compensation that is a legitimate mr de issue and there was a constitutional amendment to that effect that is currently be considered by Parliament Given all of that sensitivity there are you concerned that however this case is ruled on its going to spark instability one way or another the song will be unhappy. Well you know its become a controversial case already because of the political system. And the rule of law is at work that the murder was committed you know just 2 weeks ago when 2 suspects that were already been arrested and really appeared in court today for the 2nd time and i think as president saw reports that made clear in his he used these weekly newsletter. Earlier this week to call for calm and to allow the Law Enforcement authorities the police and the Prosecution Service to do their jobs without hindrance so i think ultimately you know there maybe im happiness depending on the outcome of the trial or who out alternately happen but i think most of the africans will be will be happy with the fact that justice will have been seen to be done it was done speak easily which doesnt happen in very many cases so i think were really seeing the rule of law being implemented here and i think the president s call for calm its an appropriate warm but as
