Gunmen stormed Kabul University in an attack thats left at least 22. 00 de blas robots in auction well bring you more on the and demming whove gone on exhibition taking place in london. Thank you for joining us we begin with a developing story coming out of austria where at least one assailant is on the run following an attack in central vienna by several gunmen. Gunshots rang out in the austrian capital just after 8 pm local time on monday in what the interior minister has referred to as a terror attack 2 people have been killed and at least 15 injured including a Police Officer one of the suspects has also been killed police say they are 6 crime scenes some close to the end as main synagogue intervention we turn and our special forces managed to take out a heavily armed terrorist who was with an automatic Assault Rifle and according to our current knowledge there is at least one assailant still on the run thomas maier is the european editor of adair shanda newspaper he has more on the situation unfolding in vienna. Theres police everywhere the whole city center is now closed the problem is there are so many people outside who went into restaurants and bars to to have joy d in the last evening before the lockdown which was thought at midnight so that i want to say people cant go home because the streets are closed and as the speaker of the the minister of interior affairs has said before there were even 6 places not only in the center where there were shootings and incidents and police and special forces even the military has been called in the town and now at the moment the action is still going on they are hunting for the attack is one they have caught he was shot as they say. For sure several others who are still on the run the streets are empty now because police has asked people to stay in their homes or in the bars or restaurants where they were when the shooting started so its a very dangerous situation still there were several men who rented through the streets and shot on people as i said in 6 different places so we still do not know what is behind that attack what kind of group it is police is desperately hunting for them and i think then when they identify them will one of them perhaps or know more about the motivation behind it and ill just theres so many can is in berlin with more on how european leaders are reacting to what happened in austria. Austrian chancellor Sebastian Cortes has condemned what he calls a disgusting terrorist attack and has applauded the role of the police and other services in trying to bring this situation to an end as expressed his his sympathies to the victims of this incident and to their families and promised that in his words there will should be no place for terrorism in his words i should say in his country but hes not the only leader head of state head of government who has been talking about the incident we know that the french president emmanuel mccann has also referred to the scenes that he has seen in unfolding in vienna saying that he and the french share the shock and sorrow of the austrian people and he says perhaps in reference to other incidents that have taken place in his country and in recent days that after france its another friendly nation that has been attacked and weve also had a reaction from the leaders of the European Union both from a solar funder lion who is the president of the European Commission but also Sharon Michel president of the European Council both of them saying that they share their sympathies with the people of austria and indeed for the victims and their families also of course is that what is going on right now is taking place jurong this corona virus pandemic and so in vienna a lockdown has just begun a very Strict Lockdown which might hinder some of the efforts that people might be undertaking to try to bring this situation to a close. The race to the white house is entering its final strained with donald trump and joe biden making last appeals to voters in crucial battleground states is less than 8 hours to go until the 1st polling booths open on election day tuesday but already a wreckages 97000000 americans have catherine bond has more than 2 thirds of the total number who voted in 2016 so lets take a closer look at where theyve been campaigning the 2 candidates donald trump started his day in North Carolina before making his way up the eastern seaboard to pennsylvania is since headed to the great makes stopping 1st in michigan then wisconsin ways right now and finishing the state back in michigan joe bidens not traveling as far starting in ohio before focusing on pennsylvania hes doing 3 events in that state and oh well weve got heidi to castro standing by in Houston Texas for us we go to our White House Correspondent kimberly how it fits in washington d. C. Kimberly so its nearly there where hours away from the 1st polls opening whats been the strategy of the 2 campaigns in these last 2 few hours. Well as you mentioned they have been hitting those battleground states that signals a couple things number one that they see some potential vulnerabilities and so they watch the shore up support in the case of donald trump particularly as it makes his final stop in michigan maybe even a little superstition given the fact that he is going to have his final stop in the same places he did back in 2016 now the messages of the candidates havent changed much in the final week donald trump continues to paint an apocalyptic picture of america under Joe Biden Joe biden continuing to criticize donald trump of his handling of covert 19 and how that will affect americans moving forward particularly when it comes to health care and both. Candidates pointing the finger at one another also raising the possibility that there wont be a clear cut election result on tuesday in fact we know that each side is amassing a legal team in order to try and d potentially contest the results yeah and thats making a lot of people nervous company. Yeah absolutely in fact the lot of people are really nervous about a tweet the president sent out about an hour ago where he cast doubt on the results in the battleground state of pennsylvania suggesting that if there was a challenge even at the Supreme Court level or the fact that there has been a ruling already on the delayed counting that this could lead to violence and that brings us to the larger point of what weve been seeing not just in washington d. C. Where theyre arresting a fence around the white house but also in cities all across the United States were seeing buildings being boarded up people are even starting to hoard food and go shopping in anticipation of civil unrest in fact were seeing this from washington d. C. In new york all the way to los angeles and i can tell you once again these legal teams are preparing for a fight both sides saying that this may be an election that is so close to call there may be no clear winner on election Day Committee thank you joe biden holding his final Campaign Romney right now and its. Pennsylvania. Were going to listen to what are. Our front our health care workers. Arent this president s question their character their interpreter their competitor their fellow over. Its not discouraged. Last 30 drop one on to say he was going to fire doctors out well ive got a pretty large area i shant shop with higher. If youre. Up outs office right i surrender never said im a commander in chief and im going to fight this fight to be a break wave the words like a surrender ill Never Surrender were going to beat this farce were going to get control of the 1st the 1st step to be this virus is dede john out of order to teach our students pro American Values is the road to. The biden is bad to abolish the american oil and Natural Gas Industries and ban fracking now from your standpoint you dont like it because you dont want energy costs going up right thats what he did Bidens Energy ban will send every state into crushing poverty from wisconsin to michigan nevada pennsylvania as long as i am president will remain the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world and the and we will remain Energy Independent you know or Energy Independent we dont need foreign nations anymore but we have good relationships in the middle east you know where were doing peace in the middle east you believe it no blood in the say of peace in the middle of the. Joe biden is a global is to spend 47 years outsourcing your jobs opening your borders and sacrificing american blood and treasure on foreign wars you know they call them the endless foreign wars countries that many of you have never heard about what. Oh my. Donald trump making is last speech to voters in can osho wisconsin earlier we heard from joe biden at is final Campaign Rally of this 2020 race speaking in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania both candidates says you can see trying to woo those final voters election day in just a few hours 97000000 americans have already voted early thats not speak to heidi in Houston Texas. Houston texas the state of texas really important in this election and thats where a federal judge has just rejected an attempt by republicans to invalidate more than 100000 ballots. Thats right 127000 ballots cast in democratic reaming Harris County and the argument from republican activists who brought the suit was that because these ballots were cast from a car in a drive through polling location which of course was an accommodation for the pandemic the republican activists say that should be illegal a federal judge who was conservative threw out that argument today siding with democrats and those votes will stand that is particularly important this year because for the 1st time in more than 4 decades texas appears to be competitive this is a state that hasnt gone from a democrat or a democrat president ial candidate in 4646 years and so democrats are pointing to a surge in early voting turnout in texas with 9700000. 00 texans already casting a ballot thats already served past that total voter turnout of 2016 and much of the surge occurring in suburbs and cities where democrats are favored that leading to the argument that this year texas maybe for the 1st time in a long time a political battleground. In the end family may be the image of a newly emerging texas 16 year old gerardo is too young to vote but already campaigning for Democratic Candidates his parents who immigrated from mexico are new u. S. Citizens they voted for joe biden i feel like them being 1st time voters is superior in full and life changing to them because throughout the throughout the last 15 years weve just been watching the news and weve been unable to have a say in why we won in the United States. And now that they can vote they truly have a voice latinos make up 40 percent of the texas population but struggle with low voter turnout democrats say this year thats changing helping to fuel enthusiasm for biden and for congressional candidates seeking to flip republican districts i am 42 years old i have never seen this level of energy this level optimism here in texas because finally we are finally getting true participation from every community. All of us crosschecks is a fact not lost on biden in a state long considered hopeless for democrats young voters and immigrants have turned out in historic numbers to vote early in texas thats despite the pandemic and accusations of Voter SuppressionHarris County which covers most of houston has 2400000 registered voters and just one location inside the arena behind me for anyone who wants to drop off their mail in ballots in person that is thanks to a controversial order by the states republican Governor Greg Abbott affirmed by the all republican texas Supreme Court some people would have to drive 40 miles or a further just to get to or drop off site and i think best designed to make it difficult to do church some voters outside. Texass citys support for trump in wider more rural areas remains unshakeable i look at the guy a man who is tough on friday the Biting Campaign cancelled a texas rally after Trump Supporters swarmed the campaign bus nearly forcing it off the highway and gerardo learns talking to Trump Supporters in this houston suburb is no easy task donald trump said that corona virus is a hoax i am a. Supporter all right i understand i fear like that but it is a pleasure to me that as its only true to good luck and thank you if there as well texas turning blue this election is still considered a long shot but experts say eventually it will and thats enough to keep democrats rallied castro aljazeera houston. And still ahead on the program the w. H. O. Warns of a critical moment as the coronavirus pandemic 2nd wave gathers space and tanzania opposition leaders face a renaissance a calling for protest against last weeks disputed election. Hello there well we are still looking at wet weather across parts of japan but the majority of it is in the process of moving out of the way its a clear skies gradually coming back in behind it on shore brace just feeding across the sea its brand will continue to feed some showers into that western side of honshu into clear weather crisp the weather coming back in behind as we go on into the middle part of the way that stays this law in a very wet weather you can follow all the way down towards this circulation here that is a developing typhoon this is sonnie and it will move very close to the north of the philippines as we go through the 2nd half of the weight yet more flooding to come across the philippines i fear will see that whats the weather making its way this we go through the next few days here is what was super typhoon gummi thats now moving out into the open waters at its peak winds in excess of 240 kilometers pariah now has been downgraded to weaken significantly winds of around 55 Kilometers Per Hour and i suspect will hang on to that kind of intensity as we make our way through the next couple of days it might just pep up a touch but not too much more eventually it will run towards central and southern parts of vietnam that means more flooding rain coming in here this week.

In a country torn apart by racial inequality. Can americans find a leader to unite to. Follow the key issues of the us elections. On aljazeera. To. To. To. The end. Of the back a recap of our top stories on aljazeera at least one attacker is on the run after several gunmen opened fire at cost central Vienna Austria the capital on monday evening 2. 00 civilians were killed and 15 others injured in what is being called a terrorist attack police say they shot dead one of the suspected gunman in the u. S. Donald trump and his rival joe biden are making their final pitches to voters on the last day of campaigning before the president ial election theyre focusing on states that could be crucial for their path to victory a record 9 d. 7000000 americans have already voted in advance or lets speak to michael bits are a bit serve out this history fessor of Political Science at the top a college joins us via skype from soles for a North Carolina thank you very much professor for being with us so the final campaigns today and all eyes on on the swing states theyre focusing on the swing states and thats where both trump and biden have been making their final pitches today is there one particular state that we should be looking at early on tomorrow evening to see how things are going. I think certainly a state like North Carolina where i am base is a good indicator of whether president tropp will be able to replicate like he states he needs to win re we to win reelection in 2020 but i think everybodys going to be focused on states like pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin and the issue with pennsylvania is we may not know the 1st several days how their votes are going because they are counting process is delayed over several days yeah indeed in that thats a real concern the poll take stream needs height in places like pennsylvania but then again professor we keep hearing about the 2016 polls and how they were wrong about Hillary Clintons victory she did win the popular vote of course even though she lost the Electoral College what were wrong about the polls in 2016 and do you think theyre in a better shape in 2020 of getting a closer estimate as to what we can expect. The National Polls and 26 team were actually fairly close within one point of predicting Hillary ClintonsNational Numbers but the National Numbers do not mean anything in the United States its all based on state level actions because of the Electoral College so certainly states like wisconsin michigan and pennsylvania did not have as robust of hole a done a 26 team as what we are seeing this year and so substantially we have better information from those critical states and as he said we may not know results so states like pennsylvania tomorrow evening and
