9:04 pm

9:07 pm
for their release. on the other hand has for the last week. increased the repression i would say has threatened to more detentions more police violence people have been detained who have been organizing these protests he actually showed up today in a military uniform at the polish border also again saying that nato troops are moving towards us so basically creating some kind of war atmosphere distracting the problems from the internal affairs from the protest movement at home and also appealing to russia basically with this external threat in the case of external threats russia should help him given reports as he say of widespread human rights abuses during the protest last week are people at all worried about what could happen if indeed this movement continues if indeed they continue taking to the
9:08 pm
streets every day. absolutely people are really worried that there could be a police crackdown you can actually feel the fear but still people are more angry than there are afraid it's right now and that also happened because of the police crackdown and the thousands who are detained and hundreds have been tortured now people who have still these injuries and still are traumatized by the offense that happened after the election result was announced they want to find some kind of justice but it's nearly impossible because valerie hasn't signed up to any international treaties and also the courts here in the country they say can't be trusted as you can see in our report. worst than a horror movie that's how to fit family described their ordeal inside a detention center the entire family was detained on august then the evening after
9:09 pm

9:10 pm
behind their backs i could only think about my son's friend who saw her father naked in this position and when she turned her head away she was beaten christina who is a diabetic says she lost consciousness after being refused medication she was kept with 34 women for 3 nights in a cell meant to hold 4 people we should look at china mama men were screaming for their mothers with the sounds of electroshocks sons of horus sounds of beatings and there were women in our cell who knew their children were among them and their husbands too it was horrifying it was more horrible than being beaten ourselves we were afraid that they had captured the whole city and they would kill everybody they were shouting at us that they would do that. models outside little attention santa kept shouting their children's names mitterrand was released after 6 hours i have no illusions about. you know the story. just experienced and
9:11 pm
faced with the worst experience was actually looking for my parents and where they were it was terrible and i just found the. salary this people being in power after looking around the country for his parents miron found them after 3 anxious days the discover family and all of us who have been detained here at this detention center in minsk of us are lawyers to file cases for on lawful detention but human rights groups don't believe their cases will ever go to court because bellows has not signed the rome statute there's no international court to turn to either human rights groups are now preparing hundreds of testimonies to be sent to the un committee against torture so they are not protect people from the state the state can do everything with the people will have more and more political motivated cases and more and more political prisoners but. you know people not like him anymore. that's a reality like many others who were detained and abused after the election for 2
9:12 pm
square family sas that fear has now been replaced by anger and this anger they say has now united to balance people like never before stop france and al-jazeera minsk russian opposition leader alexei navalny has been transferred to a hospital in berlin to receive emergency treatment for suspected poisoning russian doctors had initially said he was too sick to be moved from a hospital 'd in the siberian city of but they changed their position late on friday dummy cain has more from berlin. this is where alex in of on his journey has brought him berlin's world renowned chef hospital and the start of treatment his supporters hope will save the life of one of russia's most prominent dissidents he was brought here on board a special flight from siberia the man whose group arranged the journey says now than his condition remains paul insists just come on shore and this is basically
9:13 pm
it's very worrying we're all happy that he's landed safely here in berlin but it doesn't mean anything in itself because his physical condition is still of concern it's clear that if his original flight hadn't made the emergency landing in arms when it did he would have died staff here have immediate relevant recent experience of treating patients with the sorts of symptoms that alexy now than any has come here with now they get the chance to find out what exactly is in his system and how they go about removing it but how it got there in the 1st place remains unclear now families friends and family believe he drank tea that had been poisoned just before he boarded a flight to moscow from thompson they say officials in russia then deliberately delayed his transfer to berlin to allow time for what ever was in his system to degrade making it harder to identify the authorities of the russian hospital where he was treated deny this. we have come to the conclusion that judging by the fact
9:14 pm
that there were no poisons found in his blood or other biological materials he has a metabolic disorder lowering of blood sugar levels to be specific due to a rapid change of pressure everyone thinks it was during takeoff but if you ask me but i see alex in avani is well known for his fight against corruption in his country but right now his fight is just to survive dominic cain al-jazeera. well there's a growing list of kremlin critics so have been poisoned in 2004 journalist anna politkovskaya who reported on russian abuses in chechnya became ill and lost consciousness after drinking tea sherry covered but was shot dead outside her apartment building in 2006 later that year former russian spy alexander litvinenko died in london after drinking tea laced with the radioactive substance polonium 210 then in 2018 former russian double agents say gasquet palin his daughter junia

9:17 pm
plus more ahead on this news hour including libya's u.n. backs government announces a cease fire its rival in the east also calls for a holton fighting. style to look film if you will see we're going to shoot till you come to the. past we look at the impact of months of isolation on people living with dementia and england's new body language is zac rocks up the records against pakistan peter has the details later in schools. to. paris to the us where the house of representatives has convened to decide whether to send $25000000000.00 to the u.s. postal service and changes to the system before the november election representatives cut their holiday short over concerns the postal service boss a donor has been tampering with operations to slow down the delivery of profits.
9:18 pm
the postmaster general is saying we're going to we're going to not do any of this until after the election our legislation is not just about the election it's about surprise surprise mr postmaster general the coronavirus coded 19 which has a big impact on the election as well as 1st and foremost on the health of the american people so this isn't just about until after the election if that can be trusted it's about the length as we say in the bill the end of january or the end of cove coronavirus which other takes longer let's bring in patty coe hane on capitol hill for is a rare session in the house of representatives on a saturday patty remind us 1st what this is all about and how do we expect this vote to go. very strange a saturday in august they weren't even supposed to be here there were supposed to
9:19 pm
be a recess but the democrats say this is an actual emergency and it's not just about mel although that is impacting millions of people because the delivery service has slowed we're seeing better and complain that they're not getting their medications people are missing out on checks late fees are piling up but the bigger question for democrats is how this is going to impact the election because because of the pandemic it's not very usual in the united states to have a vote by mail lots of states but lots of restrictions on it but now because of the pandemic so many states of change the laws and more than 3 quarters of all americans are going to be allowed to vote by mail the problem is that their ballots in a lot of states don't get there by election day they simply get thrown away they don't count and the postal service is warning in the vast majority of states that under their current plan with the slow delivery that a lot of ballots are going to be thrown out so now what you see is the speaker just mentioned they want to not only have $25000000000.00 to the postal service they
9:20 pm
want to reverse the changes that this trump boyles postmaster general has made he's done things like remove hundreds of sorting machines these are high speed sorting machines that basically put you in through millions tens of millions of pieces of mail a day hundreds of those have been removed he's changed procedures over time for some people and so the mail has slowed the vote is going to happen in about 2 hours they just started debating both sides basically having their turn to try and make their case republicans for their part say this is all a hoax made to make the president look bad but there should vote in the next 2 hours and of course we do expect it to pass because it's democratic still in a democratically controlled house in the last few weeks. this has become a key part of the election and the campaign how of americans been reacting to this issue of delays and what effect is it likely to have on the election itself come november. well it depends on whether or not they're able to get the senate to take
9:21 pm
up this bill because the postmaster general said ok i'll wait i won't do any more changes until after the election but he's not putting any of the machines back or lifting the overtime and so again the post office is saying a lot of ballots are going to burn out americans are pretty angry they've been flooding the phones here on capitol hill to the house and the senate saying you need to fix this because here's the broader perspective americans don't have bused opinion of their government that's not the case with the post office it's the most popular agency year for year in poll after poll and the mail in specially during a pandemic is really the backbone of the economy just to give you a rather vulgar example live animals baby chicks that are being sent to farms they're showing up dead because they've been in the mail so long so this is an economic issue and it's also about the election so the republican controlled senate leader mitch mcconnell says he's not likely to bring it up he's not leaning that way but again the phone calls keep coming in so that could increase the pressure
9:22 pm
the senate to take it up thank you patty for that patty cohen live for us on capitol hill in washington. now a delegation of west african leaders has arrived in mali to push for a swift return to civilian rule following a military cool former nigerian president goodluck jonathan is part of the group representing the regional brawl. on tuesday rebel soldiers say they plan to appoint a transitional but haven't given a timeframe. but if you're going to appreciate what is happening in london when we were working this. way. for security you stick with it and it didn't. come up. with the way. following developments from
9:23 pm
nigeria how is this. being received in bamako given that most don't want. to back in pollard don't want a reversal of the cool what can this allegation realistically achieve. well right now the surprise is that after 15 minutes meeting with leaders of the military government the course delegation was seen walking out of that meeting apartment lee setting a precondition for the meeting to continue because reports indicate that they were seen heading towards cutty the military barracks where cater the prime minister as well as other members of his cabinet are reported to have been detained by the military although the military said they were not detained they were keeping them for their own safety and that this is exactly what is going on right now we think the meeting will resume probably after the delegation met or met president will
9:24 pm
because qasr and other members of his government right now. the situation on the go has changed dramatically since tuesday there is up popular support for the military coup in mali and right now with the conditions laid by ecowas us you've heard in that statement by president former president jonathan good luck jonathan of nigeria they were they understand the situation in mali and they tried to come to an agreement but the surprise is how abruptly the meeting ended after 15 minutes although we understand that the meeting will continue later the delegation after meeting the new military rulers in mali may also meet with diplomats tomorrow right popular support you say for the military are made but how well is the military in dealing with the problems miley's face with the problems that led to people taking to the streets and protesting against the brain does the
9:25 pm
military have a clear plan. it doesn't seem like they have a clear. clear plan to deal with the situation on the ground because it's no longer about democracy it's about poverty it's about it cannot make depreciation if it's about security detail to security large swathes of mali is now under control of groups and militias that include al qaida islamic state ethnic militias between the dog and the full unease and a host of other groups that are currently operating in central and northern mali so even if the political transition has been sorted out does the military have the capacity to deal with all these problems yes they are military but we understand also that there are more than $15000.00 foreign troops of money in soil trying to
9:26 pm
deal with the situation not only in money but also in the health how do they deal with that what do they have the resources to do with those once those are the questions being asked remember it was the same scenario in 2012 when the military intervened and deposed the former president i'm going to money to read and after that what we saw was i'll qaeda and its affiliates running over any parts of northern mali after the rebellion from the towards and from there the security situation deteriorated until the french intervened and tried to bring the situation under control yes there is rest bite but over the years we've seen how these armed groups have sort of reenergized at occupied large territories in mali and then maybe east the addition of ethnic militias also taking charge of such an area is in money that we've seen how these groups have developed or are expanded into other countries neighboring countries like booking a fossil and recently we've also seen how we have operated on the border with ivory
9:27 pm

9:30 pm
council of state has also stated that they will not they will not go into any any negotiations with khalifa haftar basically for have to as being a myth a spoiler to any peace talks and stability of course khalifa haftar in april of 2100 began a military campaign to try to take control of the capital so they see how after as being responsible for the hundreds of thousands some estimates here up to 400000 people have been displaced because of the fighting thousands have been killed and so they see him as a spoiler to any serious piece and any serious negotiations so whether or not this is the beginning of a serious and realistic. peace talk for libya is yet to be seen. still ahead on the news hour a fire has forced tens of thousands from their homes in california the governor

sanitizers to help experts track potential spread bail saw being monitored through contact tracing devices researchers hope the information gathered can help large scale music and sporting events respond with its fullest speak to derek gather about this he's a virus. and lecturer at the university of lancaster joins us via skype from lancaster thank you so much for being with us just explain to us a bit more how this experiment is going to work exactly and what you expected to reveal as far as how the virus spreads. well the background is something called the philadelphia bond rally of 1800 so it was a big festival that happened to judy with spanish flu pandemic in 1800 and which was followed 3 days later by an enormous flu outbreak and the city of philadelphia and this example is always used in public in overtakes groups every student learns about this connection between large public events and the spread of infectious
9:41 pm
diseases but during the covert 19 pandemic it's become a pattern that connection isn't quite so simple and we've had many examples of large events that have occurred during the course of the pandemic and it's been quite difficult to new york don't single larger veins through any difference in the parameters of the spread the virus we've had some week that indicates that they may have caused some sprayed in certain areas above above normal but it's already on clear and it seems like that we know a little bit race about this connection than we thought we did as one of the big surprises of the coup in 1000 i didn't explore this particular experiment is designed to dice a. connection between the way people move or own and interact with each other choosing these large events and trying to connect that with course the transmission routes so that we understand a little bit more. people pass the bias to each other when they are simply very
9:42 pm
large numbers which of the 3 options you think is safe is to minimize the spread of the virus. well there are 3 parts to the experiment the 1st one involves the use of jail which is placed in the hands and this is quite we'll stop wished for the last 10 years or so it's been used to study how children interact with each other particularly nurseries of primary school so that the fluorescent jail table should we have the children of put their hands during the day and similarly in this concert will find out we are people who are putting their hands as they move around the order 20 and we are we are you might have hand to mouth transmission of the virus and the 2nd element is to do with your floor sort the release of some sort of late smoke into the arena means that you can trace the airflow patents and see we are people when people are grieving and you know which is actually we have our goals within the arena and then the 3rd element of that is bluetooth enabled
9:43 pm
contact tracing device so we can see exactly how course people gate to home many people during the course of the content of the concert and all 3 of these things are important in determining exactly what potential there is for people to pass the vitus to each other under certain situations with or simply in large numbers but briefly isn't there a concern that this experiment could be from the source of a new infection break. well the the organizers have stayed in their press releases that i don't have any inside information about exactly to call them of using but they see that 48 hours beforehand everybody will be tasted. it if you're korea for 2 years before and you don't develop any symptoms and in the intermediate time then you can participate in the experiment no 40 hours isn't really long enough for being to be cheated it's all the acknowledge that we cannot completely rule possibility that someone invades
9:44 pm
