2 days after a powerful earthquake 60 people have now died. With glorious is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst Case Scenario of our scientific advisors and the u. K. Government announces a new lockdown in englands from thursday. And arpita stamp of your sport american athletes get greater protection offer a new law is passed following the gymnastics sex abuse scandal. Well there are just 2 days until the u. S. President ial election and both candidates at the making a final push in key battleground States Donald trump went to 4 rallies in pennsylvania in just 10 hours democratic challenger joe biden turd michigan with the help of former president barack obama our White House Correspondent Kimberly Hall kids has more from the campaign trail. With less than 72 hours until election day President Trump started early for of a full day of campaigning 4 different stops in the Northeastern State of pennsylvania in just 10 hours trouble near. Only one pennsylvania in 2016 and on tuesday hes hoping to do it again and if we win pennsylvania its over. This is one of a handful of states the Trump Campaign considers a must win for reelection what i didnt expect from such good friends leading in National Polls former Vice President joe biden skipped pennsylvania on saturday instead he joined former president barack obama fighting for votes in another election battleground michigan i believe the most is going to be loud and its going to be clear its time for donald trump the pack is back sandro were done has the chaos the treats burying her they hate the fair here their future to take any responsibility the pair blame trump for the rising cases of covert 19 in the United States america just had its single worst week of new covert cases and whats his Closing Argument here we are the worst week this week and we were been going to snow for months the federal government has had an opportunity to respond for months. Back in pennsylvania trump painted an apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency joe biden go shut down your economy wipe out your factories and shut down your state ship your jobs to china raise your taxes but trump trails his democratic rival in this state steal his supporters are adamant trump will win pennsylvania and the election i think the majority of the polls are pretty wrong i think theres a lot of Trump Supporters that dont come out publicly and say you know and support you know. Because theyre afraid as of saturday just one in 3 voters in pennsylvania had cast their ballot donald trump is making a push to win over those remaining voters in a state that could help decide the outcome of the u. S. Election kimberly held at aljazeera reading pennsylvania. Oh lets get more now from alan fischer he joins us live from washington d. C. Ellenberg coming into the final. How is the race shaping up. Well weve had 11 poors in the last year from 4 respective forsters 9 of them are good for joe biden 2 of them are good for donald trump but heres a couple of things you have to remember polls arent votes and the pollsters go to very badly wrong in 2016 if you look at the Washington Post a. B. C. Poll particularly in 2 key states they give joe biden a lead but that lead has narrowed in the last few days its no just over the margin of error so that means that pennsylvania is going to be a very very tight race and if you look at florida while that is absolutely razor thin it is too close to call now speaking to people involved with the Trump Campaign they think that florida for them is a banker and that donald trump is going to when their their focus is on pennsylvania and on michigan and in particular in the Northeast Corner of pennsylvania they believe if they can turn the voters there in some key counties that could be enough to tip pennsylvania into Donald Trumps camp and that would help him significantly get close to the 270. 00 Electoral College votes that he needs to win the presidency again what is interesting though is that donald trump at some point today will be in georgia its almost unheard of for republican president ial candidates to have to go to georgia to shore up support there but it sure is joe biden is making any rules there and the republicans are worried about it they are less concerned about texas where joe biden has narrowed the gap between himself and donald trump but george seems to be very much in play and that is something theyre worried about because no democrat has won georgia since 1988. Alan the polls are all pointing to a biden win as you say but i mean this race is by no means one there are complicating factors terrenate is key but also fitting into that the reports of voters trying to tear and they cant. And every state essentially has a team of lawyers from both parties standing by ready to go to the courts if they think there is any sign of people not being able to cast their votes that is been a huge turnout in preelection voting as you know theres ellie voting in a number of places even continue today in some states or those some have no put the barrier down and said youve got to wait till tuesday and certainly the indication is when there is a huge surge in tonneau like this tends to favor democrats but there are those who say that the republicans are waiting to november the 3rd to cast their vote because of course donald trump for months has been talking up the problems of casting your ballot by mail that it might not get counted that it might go missing that there might be a problem and so their entertainment to turn up to the polls so on cheers day you can guarantee that were going to see long lines you can also get that both parties will be in the courts complaining that some states are carrying this out the way that they should be donald trump is on the campaign trail again on sunday hes got 5 rallies run of a bit of steam late or saturday but give the man credit he is a fierce campaigner and of course he was in hospital just a few weeks ago recovering from covert hes going to be in michigan and iowa North Carolina georgia and then his final rally is in florida joe biden while joe biden seems to think that pennsylvania is the ballgame because hes got 2 rallies in philadelphia itself in the next few hours although carla harris is going to be in georgia this is going to come down to a few 1000 votes in a couple of counties in a couple of states weve been talking about it for 4 years but some people somewhere in the United States of the casting vote in this election we will be following it very closely to find out here exactly they are alan fischer there bring us the latest.

That their examinations show that on the ground floor of the spill doing it 2 or 3 columns of the carrying structure has been cut thats why the building has fallen on this side and now theyre trying to keep it in place with the help of the cranes but how they will be able to have a safe demolishing is still unknown they are trying to do calculations for its weight and so that there is no risk cause for the surrounding buildings and search and rescue teams arrived like 15 minutes ago and theyre also the dispatching the search group dogs to see whether there are any people left inside with apparently the experts are telling us that theyre sure there is no one left inside so its only mathematics the calculations just left have to in order to demolish the building this is the situation is very close in im.

U. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson is putting englands back into lockdown for a month hes been warns that rising infections could fill hospitals within weeks austria has announced similar measures adding to a growing list of European Countries re imposing restrictions the farkle reports live from london a major u. Turn in the British Governments covert 19 strategy for weeks the Prime Ministers insisted on local restrictions to avoid the need for a nationwide lockdown but infections have just continued rising as across much of europe the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst Case Scenario of our scientific advisors from thursday until the start of december. You must stay at home you merely leave home for specific reasons im afraid nonessential shops leisure and Entertainment Venues will be closed the virus is spreading much faster than forecast the 2nd peak could be one and a half times higher than the 1st with as many as 4000 deaths a day the government hopes to use the new lockdown as an opportunity to dramatically accelerate testing there is one consolation though schools and universities can remain open and relief for parents struggling with childcare leading scientists advise the British Government last month to introduce a 2 week Circuit Breaker lock down when the infection rate started to creep up again the government resisted citing concerns over the health of the economy in scotland where tighter restrictions have been in place in september there is some evidence to suggest that the infection rate there is. But here in england Boris Johnsons gamble hasnt paid off the u. K. Isnt the only country to announce a nationwide lockdown the austrian chancellors order the closure of restaurants and hotels from choose day high schools and universities will move lessons online and theyll be a nightly curfew the measures remain in place until early december the greek government also announced a partial lockdown from tuesday with mandatory mask wearing and gatherings band one by one europes largest economies are switching from a piecemeal approach to the pandemic to more drastic measures france and germany reintroduced nationwide restrictions earlier this week the World Health Organizations urged countries to act sooner or recover faster. But with many of europes economies in trouble the prospect of more months of covert confinement is difficult to bear neve parker aljazeera london or paul brennan joins me now live from london paul england is the latest country to go back into locks and now theres a suggestion it could last more than a month. Thats right Boris Johnson when he made that announcement on saturday evening set the date of december the 2nd as you heard that the country would return to a regional tier system. But what has happened this morning is that on the political t. V. Programmes michael gove a cabinet minister very close to Boris Johnson has held out the prospect that if the odd number of votes the reproduction infection rate number doesnt drop below one by december the 2nd that it might be necessary to keep the lockdown in place for longer as much as one or 2 weeks longer the our number currently here in england is between 1 point 1. 00 to 1. 00 so its not far to go that said the rate of increase at the moment in the u. K. Is rather large and its the rate of increase that has bounced Boris Johnson into imposing this National Lockdown is frankly going in the wrong direction so there is no guarantee that 4 weeks from now the government will be in a position according to the data to lift this lockdown the reaction to all of this has been a mixture of resigned glum acceptance to outright fury the British Retail Consortium estimates a 3rd of a 1000000 shops are going to have to close and 53000 cafes bars and restaurants will have to shut the estimates of the cost of that well they say it was 2000000000. 00 in the spring lock down and this prechristian is locked down will be even worse for retailers the criticism is coming from all sides for the government from the labor opposition parties who say that they should have followed the advice which was to have a shorter lockdown as early as september on the fact that theyve delayed it now means it has to be a longer deeper lockdown to put people on Boris Johnsons own Palm Tree Party who are more interested in keeping the economy think the priority should be the economy. Hes in a very very difficult place they screeching u. Turn by the government is before us johnson politically in a very very awkward position. Ok paul brennan that bring us the latest from london thank you. 7 prodemocracy processions have been arrested in hong kong on charges related to a Legislative Council meeting when 5 months ago the group is accused of contents and obstructing the session theyve been released but police have not proved by making more arrests or emily law was a former member of the hong kong Legislative Council and former chairwoman of the Democratic Party she says prodemocracy politicians are being unfairly targeted some of the prolegomena this role beijing members will also involve so why dont you just pick out a prodemocracy one to a rest its very very unsteady and the role they use is a lot to protect the members privilege and power to speak within the camp so now they have weaponized the law to target these people so many people fear that even more could be arrested and maybe one day there will be no more rescission voices in the council and they probably will use the National Security law to get a legislator and the activists and but on this very own creation they are using a law which was and acted to protect legislators is each so certainly using everything and i think the whole government is almost completely under the tro of the Chinese Government so they are acting according to the orders of presidency in beijing that they will release those so and to try to a rest and to intimidate anybody who dared to speak out we want that message to go out to the International Community that the game is not 0 that the str
