on al-jazeera. holding the powerful to account as we examine the u.s. suits role in the war on al jazeera. the. 0. hello i maryam namazie you're watching the news hour live from london coming up bahrain joins the united arab emirates in agreeing to normalize relations with israel a move palestinian leaders have branded extremely dangerous. thousands of refugees left homeless when that camp burned down demand to be allowed to leave the greek island of last boss. and wildfires leave a trail of devastation up and down the u.s.

west coast killing $24.00 and forcing more than 10 percent of oregon's residents to flee their homes. and install the u.s. a 1st time finalist upload current and i was on this very of applying for sports in their 1st major final. welcome to the news hour the gulf state of bahrain has joined the united arab emirates in agreeing to normalize ties with israel u.s. president donald trump announced the deal on twitter after speaking with king hamad bin isa and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the 3 nations of hailed the move as an historic breakthrough to furthering peace in the middle east officials from bahrain the u.a.e. and israel will formalize their relationship during a signing ceremony at the white house next week. there had been 2 peace agreements

with israel in the last 72 years this is the 2nd peace agreement that we've announced in the last month and i am very hopeful that there will be more to follow i can tell you there's tremendous enthusiasm on behalf of other countries to also join and we think ultimately you'll have most countries join and you're going to have the palestinians. in a very good position they want to come in they're going to want to come in because all of their friends are in the palestinian leadership has recalled its ambassador to bahrain it's also released a statement saying it considers this step extremely dangerous as it blows up the arab peace initiative it says it rejects the move and calls on the kingdom of bahrain to immediately backtrack juice to the enormous harm it causes to the inalienable rights of the palestinian people well how mass which rules gaza says

that normalizing relations with israel makes bahrain a partner in aggression against the palestinian people. that we get. a lot of this deal is a danger to the palestinian cause and arab national security this is a new political state done by bahrain it supports the occupation and it supports those honest right wing the ration the rain should hold back immediately it's a huge political scene. well let's start with our house correspondent kimberly of course she's been following this story and. the timing of all this is absolutely key isn't take it comes not just when there is an election in november but also when trump is facing some some pretty big domestic challenges. yeah there's no question that the u.s. president is looking for some wins given the fact that he has been really decimated that when it comes to public approval of his handling of the cope with 19 crisis

here in the united states the fact that the economy has been obliterated through shutdowns and even as he touts success in terms of job gains most americans know that with 30000000 americans 'd remaining out of work roughly that that is certainly not a win so this president trailing joe biden in the polls has been in recent days claiming victory in a number number of areas of foreign policy the latest being this agreement between rain ad israel the signing ceremony that will also include the u.a.e. taking place on tuesday but what's notable in all of this is the u.s. president calling this kind of a foreign policy victory that he believes could be a template to broader stability and prosperity of the middle east in no way acknowledges the failure of this administration and that is to get the so-called deal of a century the one that he had been hoping to get and had been trying to work towards and that is between israel and the palestinians and that's in large part to the

fact that this administration chose very early on to side singlehandedly with the israelis even moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the palestinians not even really part of the discussion or the equation and so a lot of head scratching going on about how the u.s. president now claiming victory in advance of the election really 8 weeks away and it comes we should point out just one day after the u.s. president talked about claiming to keep another campaign promise and that is ending the so-called endless wars yet what we know about that is that the united states house still has a footprint in iraq syria afghanistan and even if there are some withdrawals of troops it is really a draw down not a complete withdrawal so this seems to be some of the president's birth. anding that he often does projecting optimism pronouncing that he has achieved a goal of success even if in fact that is not entirely the case thank you very much

can really help it from the white house we've also had harry for set following a story closely from west jerusalem he says the agreement will provide a bit of a boost for prime minister benjamin netanyahu whose political standing after several tough months he's had. this 2nd deal in less than a month gives nothing the real capital in terms of his domestic status as well because israel is in the grip of an out of control 2nd wave of crude a virus pandemic there has been a great deal of criticism of the government's handling of it we're looking at a nationwide very severe lockdown when he gets back from washington i've been some criticism of his decision to leave the country for such a signing ceremony in the midst of all that so having a 2nd deal but just the u.a.e. deal but also this bahrain deal to sign and celebrate in washington is something that that he will look to very favorably and it's something that he also says will be of real benefit to the israeli people. who. the pivot towards peace

we're about to read another story of peace between israel and arab state the kingdom of bahrain this follows the story of peace between israel and the united arab emirates we've been working on this for many years but we wouldn't come to this historic moment without the forceful leadership of president front and is able to do a course that has been one concession if you want to call it that which is the suspension the putting on ice of his annexation plans in return for these kinds of normalization deals for benjamin netanyahu he says very much as a vindication of his attempt to really put the palestinian issue to one side say it really doesn't matter we can move ahead with international relations and firmer ties without solving that long running conflict and need to everyone has more on the palestinian reaction from a lot in the occupied west bank. palestinians are saying that even when the u.a.e.

deal with israel has boosted that it has put annexation on the ice with the time being it's really practices on the ground are ongoing so for example probation hasn't ended and the beheading the statement of the normalization agreement today is that it not he didn't give anything to the palestinians so they feel that they've been left out alone against what the arab league's previous resolutions were in its specific the arab peace initiative which calls for the normalization between arab states and israel but only after israel and its occupation now the palestinian president has recalled the palestinian ambassador to behave we've seen a similar move to the. with the u.a.e. find its deal and of course the fear now among many palestinians is that there at the u.a.e. is the deal has been a green light for really 2 or more arab states to normalize with israel and we've

heard also many palestinians saying that for years they've been seeing the u.s. . is radio lawyer in the region that it is really a partner but now they see it as israel's agent specifically saying that because trump is the one who has been announcing these deals of normalization between it and you. and israel on the other hand. is a professor of international relations at regents university here in london joins us via skype so this agreement obviously has the the saudi seal of approval doesn't it would've taken place without some orchestration from riyadh but for the saudis is that as far as it goes for now. well i think actually the saudis are taking your little bit of a different approach sri we have thinks i'm on talking about the hearing too to

all declination to our peace initiative which talks about feel certain just solution to these early call of israeli palestinian conflict before nomos ation yes i think it's saudi arabia would like to see process in which relations between israel and got of states are improving but for now not before there is there is there is a solution based on 2 state solution with souls between these and the honest and so they're going to hold out on that at least. at least while king solomon is on the front. i think for now i think this is this is the official solve the standing on this and i think there were there were the heels of that i think we need to remember also that a lot of what's happening is in the in the dying days of the 1st stop of instruction we're not so sure that we're going to be a 2nd term of ministration and by dint of ministration with their different addition a different route and i think we will try to not going to events any of these

forces which does not need to reverse the massage but also bring back these really a list in an issue because at the end of day this is the heart of islam acceptance in the region we felt sort of thing that in a film and just solution you know based on 2 state solution that alyssa's jerusalem is the capital of balls and infill and just solution for the siege used to do this is not going to change are we further away from that and ever because what is striking about these agreements between the gulf states and israel is the fact that it has very little to do with the palestinians perhaps even nothing to do with the palestinians one of the implications of these arab governments prioritizing regional interests national security interests. of a palestinian peace even if it does just formalize a process that has been in place for a fee is. i think one of the cowards is this as your cause said earlier you know

we have 2 leaders in washington on any news though this were not so sure we last smart sure one because of election in another because of co-option serious ones and this this will go also going to determine the future of or for any peace negotiations but i think this is a wake up call for the palestinians disunity among the palestinians their inability to unite between gaza and the west bank between the fatah hunger and the hamas else that and the need to come we finished after just otherwise you have seen this week and the one that the united states and news are good can actually dictates the future and is the solution american going to the day this huge of mood and question of of the occupation the then those middle of settlement and probably as you're meant to imply that the end of 2 state solution so off i think it's for the other

students to wake up also the in union to take it slow understand this because and also hopefully slowly it's also said that we felt if this limits with the palestinians it's when it means a continuation of the of the of the conflict probably full of illegal all right thank you yes i'm not all bad for joining us on the knees hour and here well now in all the stories we're following afghan government and taliban a guy shaped as a converging on cattle for a long delay peace talks what she had to say began on saturday it's more than 6 months since the u.s. brokered a deal and it ending america's longest war before his appointment in 2016 president entente pledged to end the conflict and he's hoping to cash in on that promise had if the election in november secretary of state might pump a is attending the inauguration event. by the typical discovers they should be among the ever here but it's theirs for the taking you to their country. to figure

out how to move forward and make a better life in their series of effects that nobody made it very a condition for growth to be to deal with. its condition executing their obligation to the degree it's very clear about their responsibilities that lead to terrorist activity taking place in afghanistan these plot against external external operate what is your cooperation. it with a new ally from london march will stay ahead on the program rising anger and a growing death toll colombia's defense minister apologizes for the taser death that sparks national outrage. 6 months after the coronavirus pandemic was declared france tries to avoid a new nationwide lockdown despite its surging number of cases. and then later in spore form the ones in the us the venue isn't took all the drivers liking and you

will be hit with that story and more. now fountains of migrants on the greek island of lesbo also demanding authorities allow them to leave for the mainland after 2 fires destroyed the overcrowded refugee camp peaceful protests were held in front of the police cordon which was set up to stop the homeless migrants reaching the island's main town more than 12000 people have been sleeping on the streets since mori account was gutted by fire earlier this week greece wants to build a new facility but local residents are not happy about that and demonstrations a saying they are desperate to leave john seraphina sent us this update from last boss where refugees now face their 4th night sleeping out in the open. right now the demonstrations seems to pieces out for the time being but it seems to be a recurring one as well so it may flare up again definitely the feelings of

persistence among refugees here who want to be allowed to leave and at the moment that being denied it seems even basic comforts people who fled moria because because it was burnt on tuesday and wednesday nights have now camped out here on avenue that runs through an industrial zone on the island and as you can see that bedding down on concrete pavements decide the asphalt there is a road block on either side of the section of the road both to protect and to protect the asylum seekers here from traffic and also to prevent them from leaving because the government wants them to stay here and to have their asylum cases heard out here because that way if any are rejected it is easier to deport them back to turkey but also because less force island has now become a vector for corona virus and it is fears that if these people are relocated to

camps on the mainland then they may spread the virus there among refugee populations there is well this has in fact happened in the last year we've seen it happen in a camp in the pipe unease which had to be locked down as a result. well 10 countries have agreed to take in more years 406 unaccompanied minors with most going to france and germany but the camps all the residents have been told they'll have to stay put and the greek prime minister has called on the european union to shoulder more sponsibility for the ongoing crisis so i guess now reports. this is the reality for the thousands of refugees on the greek island of last boss caught between the streets and an even more precarious future. and these are the politicians who are tasked with finding a solution to a crisis that has been gnawing at the european union after 5 years of attempts and of knowledge went from brussels that it has so far failed to come up with

a comprehensive plan by 2016. because a number of its. green. leaves costs nor euro. shushan on this but to me this is where that failure is being felt most on the roads makeshift tents housing those left with nowhere to stay but only 10 member states have offered to take in the most vulnerable of those left stranded body s. $406.00 unaccompanied children with france and germany taking up $150.00 each they are the only ones who will be able to leave the island for now germany's interior minister defended the decision not to take in more people. if we as the federal republic of germany believe that we can solve the european

asylum policy on our own then the year 2015 will be repeated because there won't be a european solution anymore. there are also worries over the spread of corona virus at least $35.00 people tested positive for the virus last week and only 8 have been found since the burning down of the camp. poland austria and denmark are among the 17 e.u. members who are giving assistance to greece the shelter and medical equipment these tents were set up on the island's military base local residents who've grown impatient and angry with the increasingly overcrowded camps have complained that not enough has been done to help those refugees stuck unless boss situation is a happy time for us and for the other greek cardinals who have been admirable since the beginning and welcome the refugees that. quite right. i got. you know. of having to shoulder for the rest of european union at least 33000

people have crossed the mediterranean sea to europe so far this year the holding cows for those wanting to escape war and hardship have failed to provide a lost and solution and it is a problem that is not going away anytime soon so al-jazeera. the belarus authorities have detained more demonstrators despite the u.s. announcing plans to sanction individuals responsible for a crackdown on the ongoing protests the u.s. is saying it's coordinating sanctions with the e.u. which will target security officials and those behind alleged electoral fraud protests began a month ago after president alexander lukashenko was declared the winner of an election seen as rigged is due to visit russia on monday for talks with his main ally president but in the putin now colombia's defense minister is apologize for a fatal case of police brutality which sparked 2 nights of violent protests 13 people have died in the on rest triggered by video of

a man being repeatedly tasered who later died. reports from bogota. for a 2nd straight night demonstrators clashed with security forces as they rallied against the killing of an unarmed man by the police was protesters hurled rocks blocked roads and attempted to burn neighborhood police stations and. this is happening because people are fed up at some point the pressure explodes and if people need to die so be it but there has to be a solution ok the mayor of. this urged protesters to refrain from violence but compared to the police response to the worst days of colombia's armed conflict. the indiscriminate use of firearms cannot be considered police abuse this is a direct attack on unarmed citizens civilians the vast majority of them are young people

. just the protests were sparked by this video of 43 year old. being pinned to the ground by 2 officers for violating coronavirus ruled. the agents repeatedly tasered him as he begged please no more he died soon after. his sister in law says that or don't use was assassinated and demanded justice no no this wasn't in the peace it was murder agents killed my brother in law and it can't end in a disciplinary action it has to be a penal one my brother in law was killed by the violence and the hatred we have nurtured in colombia the last thing we wanted was that his death sparked more violent. the government said abuse of power should not be tolerated but insisted. massive acts of vandalism and violence many. demonstrations show people's anger goes beyond the issue of police brutality and we need real fundamental change in

this country and the vandalism doesn't help but is a way to call the government in the p. close attention because this year we've seen many human rights leaders killed the economy falling apart we need change it's clear that people's frustration has reached a boiling point with the killing of born us the question now is if these protests will be the spark that will revive the kind of mass demonstrations that have rattled the country at the end of last year i listen to them. all 4 former police officers charged over the death of george floyd have appeared in court dozens protested outside the family justice center in minneapolis as the hearing took place prosecutors argued that the 4 officers should have had their trials combined to minimize the trauma inflicted on floyd's family and the witnesses but their lawyers say that could impact their right to a fair trial the judge is deliberating whether to move the trial outside of

minneapolis because of all the publicity around it. now oregon's governor is saying that dozens of people have been reported missing as massive wildfires burn across the state hoff a 1000000 residents have been ordered to leave their homes as fires threatened in areas that's more than 10 percent of the state's population portland is shrouded in smoke and has the west adequacy of the world's major cities but a change in weather has helped firefighters battling to bring the places on to control. and then further south in california firefighters have recovered the remains of 7 people taken the death toll from the wildfires to at least 24 states been ravaged by dozens of fires for several weeks governor gavin newsome has told the worst affected areas touching to redouble efforts to decouple the economy and flight fight climate change if you do not believe in science i hope you believe in observed evidence you walk around this community you walk around this park

around lake oroville you see the reality a reality that is set in in this state in very indelible ways and that is we're in the midst of a climate of emergency where in the midst of a climate crisis we are experiencing weather conditions the likes of which we've never experienced in our lifetime. well crystal raymond is a climate adaptation specialist at university of washington in another of the west hit states she joins us via skype from seattle and we were just seeing some images there of the many wildfires that are burning in california in oregon and of course washington state and can you just tell us what it feels like to be there at the moment because of course in many of these images we see that there is very little visibility and the air is thick with smoke. that's correct here in seattle the air quality is poor i live very close to the city we can't see downtown at all

the smoke is very thick. you just staying indoors at the moment to you leaving your leaving your home little know we're staying inside we were hoping that this is going to get better but at this point it's getting worse we're staying inside we're keeping our family inside and we know that many evacuees are taking place because. of land in forests and elsewhere have been affected when you've been given any guidance where you are on what might happen with evacuations you know we're here in the city of seattle so we we certainly don't anticipate any evacuations here but i think you know it goes to show it's very close to portland and that you know urban communities on the edge of the cities are certainly at risk of evacuation from fires like this just tearing we were just tearing a clip there from from governor gavin newsome he's obviously been.

touring some of the worst affected areas he's talking about efforts to d. carbonized the economy and fight climate change and when you look at what's happening across large parts of the u.s. it is it too late for that well case inside that this is going to get worse so certainly what's happening is partly affected by climate change but it has the potential to get worse so so no it's not too late we need to do more now so that it doesn't get worse how much worse is it going to get is it just going to be and will it continue to be the west coast affected or could we see these sort of trends surfacing elsewhere. you know we know for the for the west coast of the u.s. that climate models and projections of wildfire show it getting worse through the century so that's what we expect in this region that yes it could get worse and we're seeing you know we know these events could happen any time but the average

trend is that this sorts of fire conditions get worse throughout the western united states are you surprised by the frequency and the severity of these fires. you know i'm i'm not i mean we have been looking at this this is but studied by science for 1520 years now and we know the connection between climate change and increases in wildfire so i'm not surprised and you know it's hard to see this happening now but i think that the science has been there for a number of years to know that this is the direction that we're heading right thank you very much crystal raymond from university of washington thank you. thank you he with the news out life from london still ahead. remembering a day that changed the united states tributes abates the thousands who died in the 911 attacks is. desperately needed international aid begins to make its way into

flood ravaged through don. and then they transport what possibly his marriage has to say about you know messy being forced to stay at the club. how i was about to feel not quite so autumnal for northern europe it may not be immediately apparent still plenty of clouds coming in from atlanta to see which means a lot more rain for tickly for scotland for norway a little bit for denmark and certain sweden that will be flooding in the west side of scotland and there are still wondering showers in the western med and i'll be wandering round trip things that east was the last 2 or 3 days so the threatened on saturday is probably still have a sardinia tunisia and maybe towards sicily as well with a few of these shows in the alps as well but between i mean look at that nice warm

slowly warming up in actual fact in many places but there's more rain to come for scotland sunday and for the away and for sweden and in fact you look further west and take a close look at the temperatures in yes it's definitely not looking in time to be right to say got a good part of northern europe is seeing a bit of a mini heatwave at least after this weekend london for example has 28 maybe 30 the areas 29 a record but certainly not warm for september and the southeast corner has been mauled for a while now despite this persistent wind down through the chain to east emotions cool things down near the coast a return to 32 it is quite hot in this part of the world especially of course in iraq. but. it could be the biggest land grab in history. as powerful nations lay claim to territories under the oceans

come back look at the headlines now the gulf state of bahrain has joined the united arab emirates in agreeing to normalize ties with israel u.s. president donald trump announced the deal on twitter palestinians have condemned the steppers extrude new dangerous. afghan government and taliban negotiators are converging on cattle for a long delayed peace talks which are jews who begin on saturday and thousands of migrants on the greek island of lies boss have been protesting demanding that they be allowed to leave for the mainland after 2 fires destroyed the overcrowded refugee camp. now it's 6 months since the world health organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic since then lock downs have been imposed borders closed and economies

devastated more than 911000 people have died so far and 28000000 cases have been confirmed around the world the u.s. is still the hardest hit country more than 192000 people have died there followed by brazil with almost one 130000 deaths in india with just over $76000.00 but the infection rate is growing faster in india than anywhere else at the moment it's overtaken brazil with more than 4 and a half 1000000 cases the u.s. still has the most infections though with $6400000.00 well despite a growing infection rate france has reduced its coronavirus quarantine period from $14.00 to $7.00 days and it's still aiming to avoid a 2nd knock down a prime minister's currently self isolating and else fast track testing for prior. already cases and more powers for local authorities to enforce stronger rules france has seen between 9 and 10000 new coronavirus cases each day recently health

ministry has reported 18 deaths in the last 24 hours at the prime minister said cass tax believes that shortening the quarantine period for people entering the country would make it more likely to be followed but. look or say today for the defense council has counted 42 departments that are classified red zones meaning where the virus is circulating actively this classification does not lead to automatic consequences but it allows prefix in coordination with hopeful thora to use on local leaders to activate additional measures to reduce risks especially on mass clearing on public gatherings on big events and on the opening hours of some businesses. jeff lazarus is a former senior technical officer of communicable diseases with the european with the europe branch of the world health organization he's now research trip institute for global health he joins us via skype we would just running through some of the

worst hit countries india brazil of course the united states that tells a number of infections in the impact the pandemic has had. how do you envisage the next 6 months playing out. well that it's going to be a very challenging the next 6 months as you describe things are getting worse in some countries around the country is that the. endemic under control so i think we're in for a tough ride but we know a lot more than we did 6 months ago 4 months ago 2 months ago despite knowing more having more information about the virus and how it spread and how it affects people do you feel as though governments are all responding to that in the right way. well it really depends on on the governments but as we heard from from france they're trying to get a balance between a functioning economy and also putting control measures in place that people will

follow it's no good to have stringent controls if people aren't following them so be interesting to see how that reduction in the quarantine time plays out to you and i suppose as a reluctance. obviously economic reasons for it to impose any sort of nationwide not down so many governments particularly in the united states but also in in europe and elsewhere will want to mitigate effects the virus through precautionary measures through wearing masks and social distancing do you think that nationwide knock downs can be avoided i think they can now our health systems are much better prepared i mean a lot of those lockdowns really due to the health system being overwhelmed here in barcelona but also in the trade we saw what happened in new york we simply had no room for patients who were seeing hundreds even thousands of deaths every single day snow the health systems know what to expect i think we can avoid the massive

national lockdowns and focus on those tried and tested measures you mentioned facemasks regular handwashing who vote in large events physical distancing. update i mean again this is a very general question it does depend on where you might in the world generally speaking do you feel as though the precautions are being followed or d. is there a sense of complacency. i see and i hear a lot of the precautions being followed but what concerns me is sometimes focusing too much on for example finding an individual who's walking alone on a street you know is not wearing a fast face mask and then you go into a bar or restaurant and you see 10 or 15 people you see you know crowded areas where it's more difficult to control said think a lot of people are making a big effort but we really need to get families to understand the importance of they can eat together they can be together but maybe the elderly to be kept separated so that it's about getting that balance right again like you said it's

going to really depend on the country and the setting and time can i just ask you where about the well the most concerned about particularly in developing countries . well right now latin america and as you mentioned india and woods which is still going on in brazil and some of the middle income countries that are high income countries a chile peru colombia is is this great shockey enclave devastated india's a tough country it's a big country will be i would expect things to be worse there i thought things would get better faster in chile and peru all right well thank you very much dr jeff lazarus joining us there from barcelona thank you dr thank you it's exactly 19 years since the 911 attack in the united states which took thousands of lives and changed many more from new york to pennsylvania memorials have been hell to pay tribute to those lost but this year was different but the names of victims prerecorded and crowds limited because of the pandemic christensen

only reports from new york. at the scene of the deadliest attack on american soil where the twin towers fell and more than 2700 lost their lives dueling ceremonies to commemorate 911 at the official memorial a scaled back version of events due to coronavirus concerns limited to family of victims and select officials including vice president mike pence and democratic presidential candidate joe biden caitlin strada was just 4 years old when her father died in this manhattan neighborhood 19 years ago when she found out there would be no reading of the names of victims she took to social media in protest and there's been protests there's been riots you know restaurants are reopening malls are reopening people are going to work baseball games are being played and i just felt it was extremely unfair to kind of next the 911 memorial ceremony on the 19th

anniversary you know for us 911 families this day is extremely secret and i don't think anything should ever really get in the way of celebrating the lives that were was she was one of over 100 family members to take part in an alternative ceremony with mass and social distancing vice president mike pence made an appearance and read from the bible yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death. i will fear no evil come even the twin towers will be replicated by beings of light projected against the skyline where they once stood the annual power of light exhibit wasn't supposed to happen this year due to cold it takes a crew of about 40 people to set it up but that too has been reinstated president donald trump chose to mark the anniversary in shanksville pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed that fateful day but his personal attorney rudy giuliani who was mare of

new york at the time of the attack attended the alternative ceremony and took the opportunity. to praise police and other 1st responders these are the heroes of today we should fire rescue workers and those civilians who were brave enough to step up and run into that fire or the people who are going to get organizers of the event kept the focus on the victims their names must be heard and read out loud keeping the vow that once united americans to never forget christian salumi al-jazeera new york. which has been marking its own 911 anniversary the overthrow of its 1st socialist president in 1903 protest is gathered in santiago to commemorate salvador allende who was killed during a violent u.s. backed coup 47 years ago demonstrators clashed with police who responded with tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds out and it was replaced by the dictator augusto pinochet his 17 year rule that to the death of more than 3000

people for political reasons has been rocked by protests for almost a year of a social inequality. well you see in human as life 1st now in santiago. just tell us what's what's happening there in a moment. here as well we're being chased by water cannon and tear gas is just a large large contingent of riot police that have been here for several hours now i think having mouse with demonstrators it's not allowed to have demonstrations because of a state of emergency that was declared due to the pandemic but there are still hundreds and hundreds of people here i think you could see the tear gas in the back we vote that water cannon is laced with acid and we've been sprayed with it several times and so people have we seen dozens of people running for a poor health for 1st aid because they're getting this water in their eyes i can
