S. Has hardened its already tough border policies which it says is part of efforts to contain the corona virus lets go to our correspondent John Heilemann whos live for us in mexico city john firstly give us a bit more detail about this report by the New York Times and if theres been any response yet to it by officials. There we thought weve been doing our own trying to get a response to this i think 1st maybe i should give you the background about this this is a policy from the trump of ministration can remain in mexico thats been controversial and then place for some time in that policy those seeking asylum in the United States instead of staying in the country where that process happens as been the case and the previous administrations they sent across the border to mexico even though theyre not from this country a lot of them from Central American nations that was already controversial because in a lot of cities in mexico they sent 2 to one a new level or led to more or less their eva troubled by crime or by kidnapping you know evil or to we ourselves found that systematic kidnapping was taking place involving migrants so you can imagine with that situation already in place the New York Times article which said that unaccompanied minors children were being sent to these cities with an adult in a country that was not their own obviously cools news so after this weve started to get in touch with customs and Border Protection to ask for their response to this the report is based on an internal email that the New York Times gathered which indicated that this was the case we havent got any response from customer Border Protections despite telling them that we were going to be talking about it now from the mets can government we did have a response saying the mets can government will follow up on specific cases in which unaccompanied minors could have vented mexico in an irregular fashion sort of confirming here that if this is happening it would be against the agreement between metz going in the United States but not confirming that it is going on our producer and part of rodriguez has also checked in with the United Nations the red cross unicef and some other n. G. O. S who have all said that they dont know if this is happening or not so if this is happening as you said these would be butterball children being placed into cities that are already unsuitable for them even. They were with and i dont leave a worse if theyre traveling alone in a country that is not theirs but at the moment we havent been in the pen that the able to confirm the contents of this articles this is a story that were going to be continuing to move on as we go into next week or this its coming up in a very sensitive time considering the retreat from both sides about migration as we go into the u.

There hasnt been any official announcement coming out of here about show whether the syrian army is actually heading towards that area i was speaking to with a Top Commander of the army earlier today and he wouldnt confirm any of the news coming out of armenia he didnt deny it either but then he said at the end of the day its no secret we have said that we want to take back all our. Territory so that means the 7 disparate surrounding theyre going to care about and eventually Nagorno Karabakh itself and if you look at whats happening the reality on the ground a few days ago as ever gen announced that it wasnt coup but is now is basically south of the light chain corridor which is key for me. Because thats with resupplies nagornokarabakh as ever gen army has been making advances at a formidable base over the past few weeks is now trying to i think this is really it has to calculate very well what its going to do next because basically once they get the election corridor and shusha. Armenia will be in a very tough position anything north of that its. Also considers occupied territories is a very amount in this area is not very theres not many people there. Would be very difficult according to there were just to put up a fight there. Still ahead on aljazeera i think hes the best. Only delays things like.

C. Down towards the carolinas as well got some wet weather too moving across the caribbean thats giving some cause for concern not just storms just developing the eastern side of the caribbean now this may develop into yet another Tropical Storm as it makes its way which make. They wanted 4 to 3000000000 pounds worth of weaponry that was 6000000000 pounds in commission.

With 4 days to go until the u. S. President ial election texas has seen an unprecedented. Early voting the number of in person or mail in ballots has already eclipsed the states total votes a turnout for 2016 more than 9000000 texans have cost any votes that makes texas just a 2nd state to hawaii to break its voting record before election day the Southern State is americas 2nd largest electoral prize off to california it hasnt voted for a democrat since jimmy casa back in 1976 but some polls suggest joe biden is slightly ahead with early vote that will donald trump won texas by 9 point margin back in 2016 us around 800000 votes his Campaign Says its own Analysis Shows the president is well ahead. As goes straight to Shihab Rattansi who is live for us in washington d. C. Good to see you so both condit candidates concentrating in the midwest today where theres actually been a lower rate of voting so what does that mean more votes up for grabs. Right particularly because both candidates have valid arguments to a caucus constituency in the midwest white Union Members who are so key to bidens victory theyre the ones who deserted obama in large numbers and voted for trump trump when hes on the campaign trail in the midwest over themselves like Bernie Sanders hes talking about workers rights preventing outsourcing fighting against trade deals supported by wall street big corporations like now after the Transpacific Partnership protecting medicare Social Security and he does have a major achievement to brock obama he ran to go after he didnt do it he just signed up the u. S. To another trade deal the Transpacific Partnership which the unions felt was going to continue the trend of outsourcing jobs to other countries truck did it he renegotiated nafta it was warmly welcomed by the union so he can run on that he said that you can say look i did this and you can also point to joe bidens record of being by obamas side as he was deemed by the unions by workers as having bailed out wall street not done enough for main street and not done enough to stop the hemorrhaging of manufacturing jobs he still talks about the great economy that obama gave trump but actually other people in these states dont feel there was a great economy so thats a real problem also biden himself would often talk about cutting Social Security medicare the social safety net as a senator he was known as the senator from m. B. And a which is a major Credit Card Company in delaware always fighting for Credit Card Companies his major donors as opposed to those people who have to max out their credit cards because they dont have enough enough income in the 1st place so trump has all that on his side but then trump is also see it as someone whos very close to wall street trump didnt stem the tide on outsourcing manufacturing jobs those long term trends continue and trump also downplays cove it at a time when people are really feeling the economic effect so there really is a dilemma there for for workers in these midwestern States Sampras and see that for us with the latest from washington d. C. A u. S. Judge has blocked the trump administrations ban on popular chinese own video sharing app take talk assess of government restrictions on the app would you to come into effect on the vemma 12th president argues that take talk is a National Security threat because of his chinese ownership 3 american tech talk uses who make a living through the app have filed a lawsuit challenging the ban.
