K. With the British Government anticipating a mass rollout in the 1st half of next year the fucka has our report. Hospitals across europe are under mounting strain in spain emergency wards are overrun with coated 19 sufferers many of them elderly the countrys followed france and belgium sladen imposing nighttime curfews a response said Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez to an extreme situation. Countries are tightening restrictions from says been reporting record daily figures but a leading scientist who advises the french government believes the infection rate could be twice as high adding to calls for a full a short term lock down. The virus is so present around us today we no longer have a choice we have to log down a bit like what the irish and the welsh have done to reset a time or allow ourselves to reorganize and to stop the situation of intensive care units. In parts of russia doctors are understaffed and overwhelmed during the 1st wave this hospital in siberia handled only a few mild cases now its over a 3rd of hospital staff have tested positive. Its an ongoing war and we have daily losses as medics get sick and people get sick rushes racing against time to develop a vaccine its one of a dozen internationally in the final stages of testing in the u. K. The Oxford University astra zeneca vaccines reportedly shown an immune response in both young adults and the elderly thats encouraging news given the immune system weakens with age and the elderly a most at risk of dying from the virus. 10 thousands of people are being tested and so we are we are not quite optimistic that we will soon see the result of that piece the 1st one of the 2 that seems being published maybe even as early as december but effective vaccine would be a game changer in the battle against corona virus several could be available civil taney asli in the 1st half of next year but with a vaccine comes a big question over who should get it 1st europes bracing for a long winter but theres hope the burka aljazeera or u. S. President on trump is again insisted his country is rounding the corner on the coronavirus pandemic despite surging cases and hospitalizations defended his strategy after a senior aide admitted on sunday that america will not control the outbreak white house chief of staff mark meadows says the virus can only be defeated through vaccines and therapeutic treatments democratic president ial challenger joe biden says the white house has waived the white flag of defeat more than 225000 americans have died since the pandemic began the highest figure of any country i want house correspondent can really help it brings us more. The u. S. President pushing back on criticisms that this administration is waving the white flag in fact as he continued to hold multiple rallies in the u. S. State of pennsylvania the u. S. President has said compared to europe the United States is doing really well and blames the what he calls the Fake News Media for watching to scare everyone and asked for those comments by his rival joe biden that he is waving the white flag giving up on controlling the virus or even containing at the u. S. President saying that biden is waving the white flag he doesnt want to live life in is just hiding in his basement well what weve got here are 2 very different approaches to dealing with the pandemic in the United States there is the trumpet ministrations approach which is mitigation versus prevention by joe biden its a strategy that the chief of staff mark meadows earlier pushed back on a National Lockdown strategy or a National Porn teen strategy that is proposed by the left. Is not effective is not what you want old timidly contain or control this virus so any suggestion that were waving the red flag i mean the white flag is certainly not in keeping with this president you know him he didnt give up and hes not going to give up until all americans are safe and we defeated this virus theres no question that numbers are rising 8600000 americans infections and in terms of deaths 225000 and counting in fact in the past 2 days the u. S. Has reported on 2 different days both the highest numbers of infections and this is a concern that this continues to increase exponentially so in the midst of all of this there is growing concern as americans are set to go to the polls in less or rather in just a little more than a week and as they continue to do that this Administration Still continuing to campaign in that includes the Vice President mike pence who has tested negative for cope at night tina as of today but 5 members of his staff have tested positive. Meanwhile iran is recording one death from covered 19 every 4 minutes as it battles a surge of infections very its the worst hit country in the middle east more than 32000 people have died restrictions have been extended across the country dosage of ari has more from the capital tehran i had husseini became a widow in july at the age of 40 a little more than a year after getting married she and her husband saw her for harry became infected with covert 19 around the same time i had to receive treatment at home while her husband who had a preexisting Health Condition was admitted to hospital and within 24 hours taken to the intensive care unit. When he was leaving me to go to the hospital morgue told me he would do 10 even though i was sick myself i went to the hospital and begged them to let me see him in the i. C. U. But i wasnt allowed because he was on a ventilator less than a week after he was admitted into hospital i woke up with the feeling that i had lost something i knew something bad had happened but i didnt want to accept it so how is one of more than 32000 iranians who have lost their lives to cope with 19 since the pandemic began in february and on saturday for the 1st time since then the countrys Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei met in person with the people in charge of dealing with the virus harmony urges authorities to pirate ties Public Health above all else well we are going to. Be. When the meaning of health and minds of what these are the solutions are our organizations should observe impose them without taking any other considerations into account the menace possibility for imposing these the regulations and supervising the implementation is with the National Security council and the Police Forces that are. The government has resisted a total lockdown fearing it would further devastate its economy already weakened by unprecedented u. S. Sanctions tehran has been under restrictions for more than 3 weeks now but most people still go about their daily routines as president has found rouhani and the Health Minister have urged the public to help in fighting this virus saying that they cant do it on their own the government has set up kiosks like this one across the city where i dont like masks and hand sanitizers are sold at a lower price so that everyone can afford to follow the Health Ministries guidelines but what the government has failed to do is to provide any Financial Support to those who have lost their livelihoods because of the Pandemic Health officials have warned that the worst is yet to come as the winter cold and flu season is fast approaching but the spite the bleak warnings and the devastating loss has suffered she says shes hopeful about the future and involved we dont know if we will see to new year or not but what saves us is sympathy and solidarity with each other and love it was my husbands characteristics lets be with each other love each other and build hope. And hope is all there is now during this crisis the entire country much like the rest of the world is waiting for some positive news in the fight against the coronavirus door search of aljazeera to iran.

Who has said president needs a Mental Health test file so he called it some boss of the to take in protest accusing him of even failing to condemn the matter of some your party on monday the turkish leaders spokes matter sponsored by strongly condemning what he called the most famous medal of party but the president has thrown his weight behind the Boycott Campaign should be banned im now telling my nation just as the saying in france not to buy anything from turkish brands i call on my nation here now do not Pay Attention to french labeled goods do not buy them. Commercial businesses in our countries including kuwait morrocco are do you have palestine and jordan have taken measures to boycott french products. Which is. Leading retailer with more than 40 supermarkets across the country has been the 1st to decide a total withdrawal of french products they say it is a voluntary decision but it reflects the collective desire of its customers. About 50 french brands have been removed from the shelves the food items perfumes daily hygiene and Beauty Products have the mark of and.

At this Shopping Mall in jordan of science reads in solidarity with Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him or french products are boycotting supporters of the boycott hope it will produce results. Its a statement of our position and im sure it will reach the french officials and will certainly make a difference. Criticize the boycott and ask for it to be stopped but president insists his country will never give in to pressure and you cant and will continue to fight what you called islamic separatism. And the news hour live from london still ahead massive crowds gather in belarus for a 2nd day now support an opposition Led International strike. In 2016 donald trump who won the president ial election in part by winning key swing states in the great lakes area ohio michigan and wisconsin we take a tour of the great lakes states. 2020 alexion. A 3rd attempt a humanitarian ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia is already in jeopardy just hours after coming into force fighting. Has continued with blaming each other for the violations they have been clashing over the disputed territory of not going to karabakh which is part of azerbaijan but controlled by ethnic on unions way to cease fire was agreed in the us off to separate talks between secretary of state might compare and the Foreign Ministers of both nations respectively or a childs reports from the armenian capital yerevan. The armenians insist that they are ordering this ceasefire at a hearing to it but they say that the because there is shelling civilian settlements that they have killed one civilian and wounded another 2 in the going to karabakh that they have been using smirch rocket systems the as areas have been say similar things back to the armenian so yes the prospects for this particular effort at a ceasefire not particularly rosy at the moment i mean you have to look at this situation and say perhaps it is in the armenians best interest to come to a ceasefire not necessarily in the interests of the as areas who have been in the military ascendancy over the last few weeks it could still go wrong for the by john on the box the president of of by john. Doesnt seem to really be in the mood for the cease fire anyway he has said that we will continue on our part in an address to the nation earlier if they want to cease fire let them tell the occupying states to leave our territories no and we will go on to the end he seems fed up with Peace Process is fed up with the o. S. C. And fed up with International Medias he says a boston favor of armenia we are creating a new realities as they are. And that does not seem the right kind of circumstances for a last thing ceasefire. Well for the 2nd consecutive day huge crowds of demonstrators have marched in the capital of belarus ramping up pressure on veteran Ada Alexander lukashenko opposition groups had set a deadline of midnight sunday for the president to step down or face a wave of National Strikes but it was the scene months of demonstrations since look as widely disputed election victory in August Paul Brennan reports. The call for a National Strike pushed the protests in belarus into a critical new face a litmus test of whether the demonstrations by looking his political opponents can sustain support from the countrys workers. For the 2nd consecutive day many tens of thousands of people marched draped in the white and red it was bella who says National Flag before it took power a symbolic yearning for a time without him in charge the exiled opposition figures from atlanta. Thanks the demonstrators for their continuing support and tweeted photographs of striking factory staff. The Prime Ministers office insisted that all the Major Companies were working normally coloration media reported that the strike all had been answered by workers at many major state controlled enterprises analysts believe thats significant there are several groups that were loyal to local chain co in the previous years and those were the workers of the state and o. And enterprises and also the pensioners like the older generation people and now they are withdrawing support or look at shankar and going on protests and going on strikes this proves it been more that what the shankar lost his legitimacy and he is not perceived as the legitimate leader of the country social media video should medical students marching out of classes in solidarity. Even. And elderly protesters saying belarusian folksongs in the street. There have been confrontations and standoff with the riot police in some cases the police chose to withdraw. In others such as this police raid on an apartment male students were violently beaten and arrested. More aggressively of miscellaneous government backed by many groups are now subject to violence my children work and i take that they have already been offered the chance to emigrate so i am very worried i want to see my children to raise my grandchildren here in al country despite the demonstrations and public protest president lukashenko still appears to have the support of the countrys powerful neighbor russia but if these demonstrations spark a sustained wave of industrial walkouts that will certainly have a crucial impact on the geo political calculations paul brennan aljazeera. It was just a week to go until the election the attention of both sides is now focused on battleground states wisconsin lies on a political knife edge the traditionally Democratic State a place recently replaced republican governor with the democrats well now the democrats are hoping to recapture a state that seems to be swinging that way john hendren reports to us from joel 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 lin scape voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i went into the biggest. Person. American people could actually vote for somebody who. Treated other people that way it says. Totally way our president has done a good job. But hes going to get in or not i dont know and i hope he does. I dont think getting. 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 probably going to be the candidate they could best beat donald trump but 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 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. Or john joins us live now just tell us more about what voters have been saying to you when you with. Really what the polls are showing in terms of how tight a race it could. Through the magic of television. Illinois one state of wisconsin with the weather as it is here early voting is very important people who vote on election day might not be inclined to come out if the weather is bad and record numbers of them have been coming out so far the number of people who have voted ahead of the actual election day has now surpassed 60000000. Many as voted in advance of 2016. Because they were so clearly off in 2016 and what theyve told us is that the numbers are expected to. And. There may be a small number of. Voters thats the term theyre using people who dont. Say that could be one or 2 Percentage Points and in these great lakes states that might be enough to make a difference real clear politics average of several polls they say according to that biden is up by 8 points in wisconsin points in michigan theres a dead heat in ohio. In pennsylvania the candidates are taking no chances thats why hes making his. Pennsylvania for the day joe biden was not scheduled to be in pennsylvania but he did. He spoke as well youve got the Vice President mike pence trumps. Ticket on the republican side hes in minnesota and just to give you an indication of how confident the democrats are they seem to be relying as joe biden is going to. States. Heavily toward republicans and the democrats just give up on them at the end of the race now they are contending because they are hoping for a sweep. Thanks very much john hendren in chicago. Well more than 60000000 americans have already cast their ballots early in the election and President Donald Trump is continuing his campaign offensive zigzagging across key swing states right now he is in pennsylvania at the final of 3 rallies in that state president s democratic challenger joe biden who made a brief appearance in his hometown of wilmington delaware currently leads National Polls with a Approval Rating of 52 percent trump their own 46. 00 biden also leads trump in pennsylvania with 50 percent of the vote to trump 45 percent but rewind to 2016 and 3. 00 days before the election polls gave Harry Clinton a 6 point lead in the end trump now really won the state by less than one percent can now speak to alison dogmas professor of Political Science at Shippensburg University in pennsylvania so there were a number of factors that led to President Trumps victory 4 years ago but very important that he managed to flip those crucial northern states michigan pennsylvania wisconsin now how will he be able to repeat that this time around how difficult is it going to be. Well he sure is trying hard in 2016 President Trump then candidate trump really tapped into an anger that a lot of the White Working Class high school educated voters in either rural or or exurban parts of the state had celt for quite some time and by tapping into that anger by reaching those voters who had felt ignored by actually frankly both the republican and the Democratic Party he was able really to gin up a whole lot of anger and those folks came out to vote they at the time were the shy trump voters i think they are less shy now because their guy won and so in this area which is a very red very republican part of the state theres a lot of trump flags and founders a lot of t. Shirts a lot of mirch around. And when you look at trumps winning margins in those states. Very some some analysis that says its quite a big difference compared to say back a bomb is winning margins in 2012 does that perhaps suggest that in some ways that was more of a negative reaction towards Hillary Clinton than a show of support for trump. It probably was both certainly Hillary Clinton was not a popular candidate i dont think thats exactly groundbreaking news but it is interesting that trump at the time when he was campaigning in these specific parts of not only pennsylvania but also wisconsin and michigan in reaching these very disaffected voters he was doing so in a way that made them really mobilize and so were talking about very small margins and pennsylvania can i just ask you because youre in pennsylvania and pennsylvania is very interesting because you have 2 big cities pittsburgh and philadelphia wrapped around a very large rural area now polls show biden leading trauma 50 to 45 percent in pennsylvania thats i mean thats a very fine margin isnt it it is actually its a very small margin and im sure Vice President biden wishes that it were significantly harder i think the Biden Campaign is hoping that those suburban areas around the cities around philadelphia and pittsburgh will really you know lock it in for him but the rural areas are dominated by Trump Supporters although were seeing a lot more by and supporters sort of coming out of the work because in this election a lot of people are the volumes very high people are very angry. Beyond those 3 big states how the margin is looking elsewhere iowa and ohio of a toss ups now florida too close to call the i think all of them are statistically within the margin of error and for some of those states you know for georgia and iowa i think that the democrats this is a pleasant surprise for the democrats florida has always been very very close and in fact in 2000 really the election of george w. Bush hinged on the florida vote because it was a tie the Electoral College until lord of was was counted so you know these states these battleground states are the ones that are hard thought hard won and a couple of them we go back to over and over again every 4 years. Thank you very much allison diagnosis appreciate your time from the ship and chiffons Bug University excuse me thank you thank you with the news out live from london coming up a Health Warning of a Global Warming experts discuss the impact of Climate Change on the al physical well being.

Welcome back lets lets remind you of the main stories this hour the World Health Organization is warning that europe needs to speed up its fight against the corona virus but its optimistic that countries wont need to return to National Lockdowns dozens of European Countries are reporting a wreck or the rise in the number of infections. Present to on is called for a boycott on french goods as tensions rise rise over president plans to reform islam in france has been calling for tougher laws to prevent what he calls separatism in French Society. And the army near in azerbaijan have accused each other of violating a 3rd humanitarian ceasefire just hours after it came into force the countries are fighting over the disputed territory of nagornokarabakh which is possible as a by john controlled by ethnic armenians. Or now the trump ministration says its planned a celebration event for the expected Senate Confirmation of Amy Kone Barrett to the supremes course her appointment to a lifetime post on the court seems a should in the Republican Controlled Senate it caps off an expedited process to confirm cody barrett despite opposition from the democrats no nominee to the supremes coaches ever been confirmed this close to a president ial election which is of course just days away alan fischer is following developments for us on capitol hill could we then see a confirmation by alan in the next few hours. Well its been described by one Democratic Senators a process that would with being pushed through a such speed that it would embarrass you seen bolt the olympic sprinter what were seeing in the moment on the senate floor is a vote from a motion put forward by Chuck Schumer whos a leader of the democrats in the senate asking that the senate be adjourned to november the 9th so after the election essentially trying to delay this vote what were seeing is a Vote Along Party Lines that the republicans are going to win this and that means theyll be pushing ahead in the next couple of hours probably sometime after 730. 00 local here its 530. 00 at the moment sometime in the next couple of hours to push ahead with that vote it will happen reasonably quickly and then at some point this evening we are told that judge Justice Clarence thomas will administer the oath. At a ceremony at the white house and she will become the next justice of the Supreme Court certainly the republicans are saying that this is a very good move Chuck Schumer and his earlier comments said the although the republicans could do this its whether or not we should do this this is the seeing is might is right what the democrats are saying that 60000000 people have already voted this should be delayed until the next president gets to make the choice in line with what the republican said 4 years ago when there was a vacancy in the court some 8 months before the election and theyre also saying that to confirm any. Of the Affordable Care act at risk now why they talking about that because one week after the election there will be a hearing at the Supreme Court on elements of the Affordable Care act if any but it is confirmed to the court and that seems likely it will solidify the 60 conservative majority and Many Democrats believe that she will take steps that will support the majority and therefore mean that the Affordable Care act could lose its protections for people with already preexisting conditions so they continue to meet. That health care argument they did in committee to try and get people to put pressure on republican senators but it simply hasnt what Mitch Mcconnell has pushed this process through and it looks as if in the next couple of hours it will go ahead what is interesting is that he didnt use this is an election tactic see go out and vote for the president and we will get another conservative justice that in the eyes of many observers suggest that Mitch Mcconnell isnt entirely convinced that donald trump is going to win the election but what he is going to do in the next couple of hours is probably welcome to the white house the next justice of the Supreme Court someone that he has nominated his 3rd nomination and someone who see will reinforce the conservative majority on americas highest court thank you very much alan alan fischer on capitol hill. Well now at least 60000 people have had to evacuate in south california as powerful winds fuel a fast moving wildfire hundreds of thousands of have that power disconnected an effort to prevent Utility Equipment from sparking new blazes fire is threatening the city of vine which has more than 28000. 00 residents. Now the World Health Organization is saying that Climate Change poses one of the biggest risks to Global Health with clean air Safe Drinking Water sufficient food and secure shelter all under threat between 20302050 Climate Change could contribute to a quarter of a 1000000 extra deaths every year because of rising disease and physical stress from the heat malaria for example already kills 400000. 00 people a year strongly influenced by climate but a warning climate could cause the deaths of an additional 60000. 00 people from malaria each year rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns could also reduce the proportion of staple foods in the poorest regions causing the deaths of 95000 children from under nutrition children are among the most vulnerable in all of this and they will be exposed to Long Term Health consequences Climate Change is estimated to cost Health Systems around the world an additional 2 point 2. 00 to 4000000000. 00 annually joining us now via skype is professor. Andy haynes from the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine thank you for taking the time to speak to us a very stark warning there and. Its not great to put it this way but do you think anyone has given these sort of urgency of the covert 1000 pandemic that is sweeping wild right now. Well in the case of code 19 because we mustnt forget these other things threats like Climate Change and as you said in your introduction Climate Change can have an impact on health through a range of different pathways ranging from the very direct ones were extreme heat stress for example difficult to difficulty working because of extreme heat the effects on nutrition crop yields wildfires which were seeing today in california we know that wildflowers the risk has increased from a change but also the effects on increasing policy migration perhaps conflict as well so a range of different pathways you ask of the people i think many people see Climate Change as an environmental issue and not a health issue and we hope that by the framing it very much as a threat to health we can raise the ambition of the scale of action the pace of action that we need because at the moment unfortunately were not on track to keep the Paris Agreement well into the well exactly were not on track you already have countries but drawing from the agreement which in itself is has been deemed insufficient why why is the World Health Organization only making this link now between Climate Change and human health but Health Organization is not just make you know its made it many times before but i think people all live level to listen to those warnings now because its becoming so apparent as you said your introduction with the office and so on and so i think it was a good news story as well as to this the other side of the coin is that when we did carbonized the economy we also reduce air pollution we improve the health of the new as well as reducing the so that your mission has you still and we saw that didnt we when that with these nationwide lock downs in various countries because of the crime the virus pandemic the quality of the air improved which was a positive thing that for people i suppose with respect for probably problems asmer and so on does does that mean that some of the damage is is reversible. Some of the damage is reversible the cause some of it is long term but when we care when we reduce fossil fuel emissions reduce the air pollution we can prevent a range of Different Health problems like cost tax for example strokes chronic respiratory disease the risks of these old increased by evolution so as we move to a low carbon or a 0 Carbon Economy we can prevent Climate Change as well as reducing the risks of their pollution. Now we know theres a great deal of concern about the impact of covert 19 on the Global Economy because this is not just a Health Crisis its an economic financial crisis as you well know now when you have it does that make the sort of measures that the w. H. O. Is calling for a tax on carbon and other measures less likely because of that heightened uncertainty. Well there is always that danger but you have to remember the moment we subsidize fossil fuels so in some cases we subsidize them directly but as the International Monetary fund is show we dont pay the full Economic Cost if you start to take into account the effects of their pollution and these other Health Effects and environmental effects the Police Officers are going to the tune of about 5 trillion dollars so he had to pay the full Economic Costs of fossil fuels where we burn out burn coal all the food up cars then of course that would drives a Renewable EnergyGreen Economy much more more rapidly so 1. 00 of the reasons that the current some some of these Renewable Technologies dont compete sufficiently despite the fact that prices going down is because these subsidies are built into our economy so we need to think about was during the subsidies but also putting a diesel price on carbon but that doesnt mean to say we need to increase tax over all of girls you can recycle that money you can recycle it towards low income populations and in that way you could improve the health and wellbeing of low income populations but also reduce exposure to air pollution and reduce risks of Climate Change and he hangs from the school of hygiene and tropical medicine really interesting to talk to i hope we can speak again thank you very much. We go to iraq now where the 2nd day in a row Security Forces have closed the out cynic square in central baghdad comes after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets on sunday to mark a yes since the antigovernment protest Movement Began simona fault in our ports from baghdad. Several tents here in Tahrir Square were either burned or taken down overnight i mean mounting disagreements between the protesters over how to use demonstrations should continue part of them appear to favor a negotiated solution with the government to end the protests while others are determined to remain here and escalate the situation until their demands are met. All turn to make tea for the protesters. Through gasoline only in the off day. What was their intention was to remove our tents and in the protest but this will not happen. There is a palpable difference in the atmosphere in Tahrir Square today and we actually withdrew after a short while there because you could really feel that the tensions were running high within the protest movement but there are also ongoing confrontations between protesters and Security Forces on the bridge which you can see behind me on sunday the Human Rights Commission said the 32 protesters were into that 138 members of the Security Forces were also injured in confrontations between the 2 sides with protesters following petrol bombs stones and homemade grenades and Security Forces responding with tear gas and stun grenades now today just confrontations have continued we have heard ourselves stun grenades being deployed to try to repel the protesters who are trying to climb the barricades atop of the republican bridge to reach the heavily fortified green zone which houses government offices Security Forces appear to have used nonlethal weapons but if the situation endures and if protesters or some of the protesters continue to try to breach the barricades to the green zone the situation could well escalate further. So that on the news hour saving the odds for creatives make the case for more support sharing the coronavirus and then they. Recent fighting between the taliban and Government Forces in afghanistans Helmand Province as forced thousands of people to flee their homes but its also costing dalla over the prospects for peace talks this but which are still going on in doha its not clear when families will be able to return home but it might not be a soon as many hoping for the oh contre ferry reports now from kabul. It is a place of nothingness no food no clean water no electricity a camp with thousands of displaced people mostly from home and were children tomatoes to survive. And the men try to help new arrivals like this widow from those whose husband died in the fighting a bag of flour is all they could buy for her pieces of bread are all she has to feed her 2 children and theyre not the only ones was that there was. A lot of money to the owners of the shops nearby as it took food from them during the current team people were selling their households to buy food now these people dont even have a blanket for themselves.
