5:03 pm
a ratcheting up of the rhetoric from the armenian prime minister not an indication from somebody who is immediately looking to sit down and talk and of course armenia is looking for friends as a by john now it counts on the support of turkey turkey's over back as a by armenia in saying this sort of thing is looking for international support because the prime minister says this is equally threatens the u.s. iran russia and france that is what i mean as prime minister is doing looking for support. and said of course who has the perspective from us about john's capital bucko. tension is fairly high by the border especially up on the northeastern side of nagorno-karabakh where. this recalled character has been under attack by the armenian forces since the early morning and we heard that a civilian lost his life this early morning in tora tora as the civilian areas have

5:07 pm
with the attack that's led to protest prime minister narendra modi has called for strict action against the accused as quickly as possible but many have. he used his hindu nationalist b.g.p. government not protecting vulnerable communities or of all of this government as against the poor minorities laborers farmers and all other marginalized seekers of society they are against those who is suffering this slogan of removing poverty is all about eliminating. the state's chief minister yogi addict spoke to the victim's father on wednesday through video link this case is a reminder of a similar attack in 2012 when a 23 year old medical student died after being gang raped on a bus in delhi the attack prompted outrage and protests across india 4 men were executed for the crime earlier this year and laws were changed to provide further protection but it appears many women especially those in poor communities still face the same risks. al-jazeera britain's long and
5:08 pm
already paying for legs it from the european union may have got a whole lot more complicated the e.u. is launching legal action against the u.k. over plans to breach parts of the brags that agreement so-called letter of formal notice has been sent to the british government which is a month to respond that could eventually lead to a case in the european court of justice the disagreement centers around a bill in the british parliament which would violate international law if it's passed it could ignore trade rules involving northern ireland begs it is expected to be one of the topics that leaders from the bloc discuss during a summit that's taking place in brussels well we're going to be speaking to dominic kane in berlin in a couple of moments but 1st of all the reaction out of the u.k. paul brennan is live for us in london paul the u.k. knew that this was coming and yet this is still going to put pressure on it isnt it . yes it certainly doesn't improve the mood between the 2 sides which are negotiating as we speak in brussels at the moment the 9th round
5:09 pm
of talks with the deadline fast approaching boris johnson to set a deadline of october the 15th for the trade talks to come to a resolution or he will or he says he will consider walking away the reaction of the u.k. government to the news from us live on the land today was to say that we were responding to course live on the land said the british government has a month to respond and the u.k. government spokesman said clearly set out our reasons for introducing these measures and we need to create a legal safety net to protect the integrity of the u.k.'s internal markets that said there are critics of the government stance among them the former supreme court justice not sumption who has come out today and called it a candid negotiating tactic a gigantic bluff on the part of the government i mean it's not over the couple of issues here 1st of all the fact that the e.u. does issue these letters of intent on
5:10 pm
a regular basis i can think of the big 1 july 2018 when poland was issued with one over interference in this in its supremes courts. as far as whether the trade talks are going to be impacted as i say it affects the mood but what's crucial is they haven't pulled the trade talks they are still going on on the final thing that i want to say is that the trade talks if they come to a resolution on a free trade agreement is done the internal market bill effectively becomes irrelevant and because it's that only if there isn't a trade agreement done by the end of the transition period so there's several different codes that it's earning here and by no means is this going to automatically results in a case going to the european court of justice paul thanks very much indeed paul brunner live for us in london i want to bring in donna cane who's going to be talking to us from berlin paul was saying there that the talk about the. trade negotiations that are going on no earlier on in the day the u.k.'s bragg's it minister was saying pretty much is business as usual nothing to see here let's move
5:11 pm
on but i've just seen on the the wires that there's an official from the e.u. blog saying that no landing zone is in sight in those either you u.k. trade talks we were talking earlier about the fact that on late in the president of the european commission which he made this statement made it very simple very straightforward no and silly facts just very straightforward and no questions afterwards either just a simple straightforward statement what do we read into the mood that's behind that . a pretty clear message is what that is rob isn't she. no doubt about it she and her officials and indeed her colleagues perhaps from the council european council may well have order over each word that was put into that statement that was given a few hours ago now and it's a clear message which is that the e.u. says it's acting in good faith but it no longer has faith that the british government is acting in good faith and it does really beg the question how could it
5:12 pm
be that the u.k. can carry on supposedly in good faith holding trade talks with the e.u. is representatives about that potential trade deal that you were talking about with all their all at the same time it's no longer has good faith in the eyes of the european union and so far as the already agreed the already signed withdrawal agreement that is what is happening today it is clearly a public statement by the european union that it has lost its patience with the united kingdom government in so far as the withdrawal agreement is concerned and remember behind all of this whilst the british government says it has to protect its you know its own internal market the european union has to do likewise with its own internal europe the european internal markets and of course the republic of ireland and the overall situation of the republic of ireland and northern ireland part of the united kingdom that contentious border issue between the 2 parties on
5:13 pm
the island of ireland back clearly is behind all of this we know the european union officials and indeed the president of the commission has spoken about how they don't want there to be a need problem any trouble which might lead to a souring of relations on the island of violence but at the same time we know that the irish prime minister mr martin has spoken inside the meeting today about the situ. question for his country and so clearly what's going on here today is the european saying calling time on the way that the johnson government has behaved regarding the withdrawal again greenwalt but interesting me in so far as time is concerned this legal action when would it be heard and when and what sort of conclusion could it come to would it be before the end of the calendar year when the u.k. finally leaves the european union so far as all those arrangements have been in
5:14 pm
this come india have been in place many questions not many ounces tony thanks very much that's dominic came talking to us from berlin still ahead on al-jazeera the u.s. presidential debate was so chaotic at the commission that oversees them says it's going to make changes to try to make sure the next one is more orderly. but then die in the explosion and now they're killing us losing the hope of people living in lebanon say there is no solution for the country's financial meltdown. hello we've got the rain clouds gathering across central parts of china at the my little area of cloud just starting to push into the central positive towards her hand to the east of that shanghai generally fine and dry along with the korean

5:17 pm
what you know does iraq remind of our top stories this hour the presidents of france russia and the u.s. have issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to fighting over the goal no cut above urging the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan to resume talks without delay or conditions. indian police of imposing margins here laws in the village where a young delegate woman was gang raped a 2nd woman from the marginalized group also raped died on the same day prompting outrage across the country. the european union is launching legal action against the u.k. over its brags it plans a bill going through the british parliament would violate international law in relation to trade rules in northern ireland. the organization that manages the u.s. election debates says it will make changes to bring order to the 2 remaining contests it hasn't given specifics yet but there have been calls for the moderator to be able to cut the candidates microphones president on how to being widely
5:18 pm
criticized for how much he interrupted and spoke over joe biden during the 1st debate both men also traded personal insults and in coal is an author and the director of debate at the university of michigan he has more on what could change the violence in a number they could give the moderator discretion to cut off a microphone when appropriate but there's you know inherent dangers in that when there's technological problems and you know you could have issues that arise i think it's impossible he's the president of united states so there's no moderator that has the credibility you know to really 2nd guess there's just a natural power dynamic that exists and you know you'll be impossible to always force rules when you could cut off a microphone but we've had primary presidential debates ronald reagan was famous in 1900. 8 for saying you know how dare you turn off my microphone i paid for that i deserve to be here and that really hell. simplistically so you know even back watching at the moderators could could help you candidates politically but the good
5:19 pm
thing is the next debate it's in miami it's a town hall debate and i think it be very unlikely if candidates interrupted each other while they were while they were speaking to undecided voters you know it's totally different there's undecided voters in the crowd and that would hopefully make for a better more substantive debate for the next one in miami there's certainly no guarantee last time in 2016 st louis debate donald trump kind of followed hillary clinton around the stage was like a shark it's just you know ultimately i think if nothing else not to the rules that prohibit donald trump from. from interrupting the future it's going to be that most people thought that joe biden won the debate one poll c.n.n. had a $32.00 point margin and so it's going to be the backlash from the audience the backlash from the voters that cause the candidates to do for behaviors now while both candidates interrupted donald trump you know analysis shows in interrupted 75 percent more of the time and so it's not quite equal that you know both of them did bad things and so a negative reaction by undecided voters could cause that both candidates especially
5:20 pm
present time to change his behavior ok let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly hole cut in washington d.c. kimberly in the midst of all lot fallout the 1st debate one of the candidates up to you today. yeah well they're trying to play down some of the mistakes of those very contentious moments that occurred during the debate as those reverberations about the format continue ordinary americans the focus right now is on fundraising because of course u.s. elections are very very expensive so we know that donald trump is leaving the white house he'll be heading to new jersey for a fund raiser for his part of the democratic presidential nominee joe biden will be holding a virtual fundraiser as so with the 2 sort of big names on the tickets concentrating and raising money they have left their running mates to kind of shore up some of the support that is so pivotal in winning elections in the midwestern
5:21 pm
states of the united states so vice president joe biden where rather vice president mike pence will be headed to the midwest he'll be going to iowa and come a harris joe biden's running mate will be holding a virtual fundraiser in minnesota of course underscoring all of this campbell is the fact that we still have this photo coronavirus in the united states how do the candidates and the campaigns trying to. make sure. well so far the campaigns have really been doing mostly finger pointing about who would do a better job who's done a bad job at least in the case of donald trump and so the problem solving for the moment seems to be in the hands of the u.s. congress now in terms of injecting money into the economy which is badly needed given the fact that these shutdowns caused tens of millions of americans to lose their jobs many of these job losses have turned out to be permanent what we're seeing is that there is some new and renewed discussion on capitol hill between the
5:22 pm
white house and also the democratic leaders namely nancy pelosi to try and bring about some sort of package of relief now if the 2 sides are very far apart and micheline the republicans said to the democrats are price tags too high and democrats said to republicans we want more money for state and local governments and that seemed to be where things shut down now both 2 sides have at least inch forward to some compromise but the polls are really in the democrats favor right now if they don't get a deal and the fact that joe biden is leading by 8 percentage points indicates good things potentially in congress for democrats as well so there is also the sense they don't get a deal democrats will just wait it out until after the election to get the package of relief that they're looking for for the american voters care because things for much of this committee will go to one of those correspondent in washington d.c. . layoffs are begun for more than $30000.00 airline employees in the u.s.

a flag raising ceremony on the shores of victoria harbor chief executive caroline was among those attending and she condemned countries that have criticized the new security law and said it would be implemented without hesitation most people find no matter how severe some foreign governments holding double standards are going to level unjustified accusations against the authorities in charge of implementing the national security law or aggressively imposing further sanctions against the hong kong officials who are responsible for safeguarding national security i and my relevant colleagues will continue to discharge our duty to safeguard national security in accordance with the law without fear or anxiety. edgin brown has the latest from hong kong. they have been flooding the street with offices all afternoon because a few days ago they rejected an application by a group to hold a protest today site citing coded 90 as well as the potential for violence but in
5:25 pm
the days since serving a lot of calls are gone out online for people to still turn up in this area and to demonstrate in whatever way they see fit so what has happened is that we have plenty of people here today wearing black t. shirts of course that see the color code of the protest movement but as i say there's very little they can really do i mean protesting conventionally in hong kong is now you know essentially over the combined effects of the coronavirus measures which means we have to wear you know face masks like this when we go out in public as well as the new security law mean that we're not seeing a repeat of those large protests of a year ago i mean i covered the big demonstration here on october 1st 2019 that was a very violent day here in hong kong that's when a protester was shot in the chest by police we're not seeing anything on that scale now but the sentiment but tide behind the protest movement is still very much there
