house correspondent kimberly holcomb joins us live now from washington d.c. and kimberly we've heard from donald trump and his campaign team what more are they saying. yeah well the president seems really frustrated because any type of modification because of the health and safety as the commission on presidential debates has said the reason for this change in formats from an impersonal bay to avert shoulder bait donald trump perceives as weakness and that's something he's been trying very hard to combat saying that he has confronted coated head on and that he is fine he had fact called into a fox business program this morning and he certainly sounded fine but at the same time we know that he is still in the window where he could have a relapse so trying to reassure americans the campaign sent out this statement they said the decision was announced in a statement from the trump campaign which called the debate biased

a terrible it also called the move to a virtual session pathetic peers that might be reading the wrong graphic here we go the safety of all involved can easily be achieved without cancer get a chance for voters to see both candidates go head to head will pass on this sad excuse to bail out joe biden and do a rally instead and what we're hearing is this rally will be taking place in pittsburgh on monday that is barely 14 days since the president we understand 1st potentially contracted this although the white house has been very foggy on the timeline but the bottom line is the president says he is ok and if he can't do it in person debate he's not doing it at all well to baidu seems seems to be suggesting that he will carry this stage where does this leave. yeah well the statement from joe biden he was asked by reporters as he was traveling to

a campaign event he's hitting those battleground states where polls show that he is leading the president bad news for donald trump he has actually said you know reporters said what he going to do donald trump says he's not going to be there he goes i don't know you know the president changes his mind constantly what he did say is that he is going to fall of the guidance of the commission on presidential debates have they david's face safe he'll do the debate in person if they want it to be virtual he's fine with that as well look the bottom line for joe biden is that he doesn't need this debate the polls are in his favor who needs this really is donald trump and right now donald trump says very clearly he's not going to participate ok kimberly whole life for us in washington d.c. with all the very latest on this thank you for no answer we will have an obvious this or be vice presidential debate that orders of 8 that happens between vice president mike pence and joe biden's running mates carol howlers harris we'll bring you that later in the news our finale though let's turn to iran missiles

there are running or to bed in there intensive care units the country is the worst affected in the middle east and has reported over 230 coronavirus deaths you infections there are also above 4000 for the 3rd day in a rule no masks are set to become mandatory outdoors in teheran from saturday. and in syria aid agencies are warning of a sharp increase in new infections they fear that the lack of infrastructure in opposition and kurdish areas means doctors won't be able to deal with a significant outbreak the u.n. believes the infection is spreading among communities even though the government insists the numbers are low say no harder reports that reports from inside syria

continue to point to a much broader spread of kopi 90 and the number of confirmed cases is the united nations has been reporting rising infection rates in syria for some time now given the limited testing across the country and challenges in contact tracing it is likely that the actual number of cases far exceeds official figures. the syrian government reports nearly 4500 cases and 200 deaths and portrays the situation as under control but multiple sources questioned that narrative they say infections have been in the 10s of thousands and at least 65 doctors died as they struggled in ill equipped hospitals with a lack of protective gear many. many . patients because they work. other patients.

only one. every. infections have also increased tenfold in opposition controlled territories in the northern syria at least 30 percent are health workers coping is a challenge especially because there was a health crisis before the corona virus outbreak hundreds of medical workers were killed and facilities destroyed during the war and the deliberate campaign by syrian government forces and their allies medical workers say they are on the brink of an emergency. before the pandemic we used to work from now until 2 we are now working from 9 till 7 and sometimes even longer hours although on the despite that testing remains limited this medical laboratory serves up to 4000000 people who live in it live and nearby areas even when we have centers up and running we don't have sufficient tests. that is going to be

a challenge coming down the line to be able to test as many people as needed and also people who are trained to analyze. and helen efforts are being made to slow the spread by raising awareness and distributing hygiene kits in this densely populated and impoverished region where many live in camps sanitation is a challenge with a shortage of medical equipment and supplies as well as a weekend health infrastructure due to 9 years of conflict and government neglect communities are vulnerable jennifer there al-jazeera beirut. writes a europe for the coronavirus situation is growing darker by the day as the winter approaches germany which had been praised for its response has seen 4000 new cases in the past say and it's feared that the virus could be spreading there uncontrollably. already up to the current situation worries me

a lot we don't know how things will develop over the next few weeks it's possible that we will see more than 10000 new cases a day it's possible that the virus spreads uncontrollably. francis reported almost $19000.00 infections on wednesday and pressure is growing on hospices hospitals there is specially in and around paris cases began surging in ukraine it's awards the end of the summer and now the ripples are here to gary is that our critically shorts or doxes and the u.k. is considering new restrictions as its 2nd wave accelerates just now it's been announced that 17 and a half 1000 new infections have been announced let's get more now from dominic king he's covering europe for us from berlin dominic let's start with germany this it was widely assumed to have this pandemic under control what seems to have

changed. what's interesting is that over the course of recent weeks we've seen a steady rise in the numbers of new infections being reported right around the country in the hundreds and then it started becoming in the many hundreds then over a 1000 then over 2000 then over 2 and a half 1000 and what's happened this morning it was over for families and what that prompted was a news conference by the health minister of the entire country by the man in charge of the robert cock institute which is the agency that effectively collects all the information and advises ministers about what they should be doing and they were expressing real concern about the way that this surge has taken place and all they can really do a virus it and there are some people in berlin who say and not just in berlin rather but also across the country who say that the system in place physically here

in berlin the traffic light warning system is something that should be adopted around the country adopted an adapted for the rest of the country the interesting thing is so it's made it works on the basis of 3 different coded criteria which are are analyzed now in so far as today is concerned well one of the lights is now at red that is the light which refers to the number of infections in this city relative 210-0000 residents that's gone red but 2 of the other lights are green the point being that with such a measure across the whole country then the public can see just as much as the officials in the elected officials can see what's really happening now that's why that's what that's what underlines what's going on here but the feeling coming from the elected officials here is that they believe this is controllable but they are very alarmed at the speed with which the new infection rate has been surging. well

it's about a situation in germany where officials were seemed to have things under control but if you broaden our focus arts in the rest of europe 19000 daily cases in france 17 and a half there is some cases in the u.k. it seems that the 2nd wave of this pandemic really is well and truly in europe. yes that doesn't seem to be much doubt that a 2nd wave is sweeping across the continent right across the 4 corners as it were of the continent as you were saying about the latest numbers coming from the u.k. but then look at the cases coming from other parts of the continent here in central europe we see the austrian governments announcing an unprecedented rise in the number of cases going back right to the start of the pandemic more announced today than on any other single date similarly in poland where the prime minister says

that a mosque requirement outdoors is coming and that conceivably the government might have to impose a state of emergency and then look further afield still staying on the european council look at the situation in ukraine with thousands of new infections have been announced and doctors in at least one hospital are saying that they have a catastrophic shortage of medical personnel to fight the virus to treat the patients one particular doctor in one particular hospital saying that they had one doctor on their ward treating patients one doctor for every 47 patients so clearly that is not the case everywhere but what is the case in many many countries is that ministers and health professionals are now having to deal with this surge in cases but the interesting things so far at least talent is that there doesn't appear to be at least not in germany and in several other countries this is also the case you don't see a parallel rises stark as a steep rise in the death rates surging infection rates new infection rates but not

so far at least a commensurate surging death rate although of course ministers right across the continent are monitoring that rate very closely and data it doesn't it can they're bringing us the latest from europe thank you very much. also more to come in the insists news hour including number of coronavirus cases rising in the philippines and so does the president's popularity. lasts an unmistakable poetic voice the nobel prize for literature has been announced we'll look at what louise glocks work means for the world's. at is a record breaking night on the track in spain you will be here with all the sports news. at least 30 more soldiers are said to have been killed in fighting over

nagorno-karabakh the defense ministry in the disputed region says $350.00 military personnel have died since fighting with azeri forces booker it's 12 days ago it's the worst violence between armenia and azerbaijan in decades there's been more shelling in the nagorno-karabakh main city step down the kurds the local right script there says half the population has been displaced because of constant attacks from azerbaijan will similar accusations have been made from the as areas sites they accuse armenia of targeting heavily populated areas civilians efforts have been reported in several regions where hundreds of homes have been destroyed by artillery fire international mediators are stepping up efforts to halt the conflicts with french russian and u.s. representatives meeting in geneva said of course on the is in goran boy in

azerbaijan which has been hit by dozens of shells and rockets in the last 24 hours she spoke with the family of an elderly woman who was killed by shrapnel as she lay in bed. as a 5 am local today as our big city was hit by 56 or to larry's and 14 rockets a spirit executive committed a local government body told us earlier this day one of those rockets was a grad rockets as the experts say and that hit a 60 year old widows but cured especially the street in her garden the remaining fell on to ground and were cleared by the mine clearing teams there was a huge explosion the neighbors the witnesses tell us you can see the fragments they hit the walls of the building was also said that she was unaware of any politics she had no idea of guns how would she ever know that a rocket would kill her in her own house as the explosion happened the fragments of

the record were these are scattered inside the house through these broken windows and hits to lay on. who was sleeping in her bed she was aware though she lost her husband 5 years ago and they have no children that's why it was for her so it was 1st her sister in law he came to check on with her to see how she's doing when she found to lay on the line going to the floor her face down she 1st thought to you know it was fainted and as she tried to wake her up but when she turned her by this she saw that there was a fragment that hit today on on the neck and apparent that there were more fragments that hit her on the chest that's hard she died as of early morning today along with a koran by about the tire tire city. region for zullo region were hit by or to larry's and rockets from the corner by the iranian forces as the conflict started erupted in september 27 more than 30 civilians were killed

and more than 106 the civilians were injured in as our big jump has spurred the office full of reporters but of course the so the school flick has another side note. are not clear about the mainstays the panic heard has been heavily under fire under. the bombardment by the us air forces and tens of thousands of people civilians had to leave their homes and they became displaced some of them have been living in shelters in bunkers for the last 12 days and still the office will say that it is still early to come and gather around the table for negotiation as what size of the conflict both are mania and as arbet john has some preconditions for a cease fire despite international calls while turkey's president's richard sipe arabs are one spoke earlier criticizing international mediation efforts mused. the months group until now has not shown any will to solve this problem the

solution to the issue which is turned into a gang green so to speak because of armenia's uncompromising unspoiled attitude for many years and for the occupation to end oh. well it's get more now from him bring him cullen he's a senior advisor to 2 and spokesman for president and joins us live from the presidential palace in istanbul thank you so much for joining us here on our just sirrah just explain sir as more why just turkey not wants a diplomatic solution to this crisis. you know we support a diplomatic solution and we call on the misquote of actually to come up with a time table with a new proposal that is actionable that has specific guidelines to and the current round of. austerity is but also more importantly to find a way to end the occupation of our very lands by our many of that has been the root

cause of this problem the minsk group which was established almost 30 years ago has done very little in fact to bring an end to this frozen conflict in the southern caucasus and it's time really to come up with a new proposal new roadmap that's what our series have been demanding that's what we've been supporting yes to assist fired by the cease fire must be sustainable and the only way to make it sustainable is also to talk about ending the armenian occupation of our very learns as you know about nagorno-karabakh is is the land of the azerbaijan state of azerbaijan according to un decisions according to a number of number of resolutions always the decision etc so yes to a diplomatic solution but that that needs to come up with or or combine with a time table with a roadmap that will bring an end to the occupation of not going to karbala by armenia so do you support then the efforts of the french russian and u.s. representatives who are heading to geneva to start thrashing out

a route not. if they're calling only for assist for working just one assist far it will be nothing more than a repeat of what went on over the last 30 years or so it is almost certain to fail if it doesn't also involve a detailed. plan to the occupation and. yes we want this clashes to come to an end we don't want any civilians or others to be hurt in this conflict too many people have a lost their lives more than a 1000000 are very people had to flee in the 1990 s. when our many occupied this part of azerbaijan yes we want an end to all of this human suffering the fighting this conflict in the southern caucuses but if the misc group is to be credible and if they are going to claim any political and moral authority at this point to bring an end to this conflict they must also start

a serious work on ending the occupation and what's turkey's role here why exactly is is turkey taking such a strong position in this particular conflict. well for 2 reasons southern caucasus you know what happens there of course is of direct concern to us it affects you know our borders it affects our. region relationship with georgia and the larger caucasus region that's number one number 2 we have a very special relationship with azerbaijan you know we call ourselves one nation 2 states and we have a longstanding military agreement with us our version in addition to many other cultural economic political diplomatic agreements for those are very john and we would like to see an end to this occupation of our very land where you can help saying this is a new fuel station also about this cause me believe miss miss and i'm sorry to cut you off that you keep saying this is not your patient or this is a leader and these are all of these people have been living there this goes this

predates 9094 predates the late eighty's these people have been living there generations have been living there. for decades the schools you could argue this goes back to the the soviet days in the u.s.s.r. . i think you're referring to the armenian population of nagorno-karabakh that's a fact that the been living there or together with the r.'s there is for many decades under the soviet republic rule that is true and there are cities have always said that you know was not going to cordoba is liberated those armenians who live there will live under you know just like you know any other. citizens they will be entitled to their rights they will have their freedom of religion culture identity and so on so forth yes it is occupation according to all the un resolutions just like the israeli occupation of the palestinian lands there is no legal or political debate about that it's a fact. so. it's turkey going to stay involved in this until

the armenians leave the region of nagorno-karabakh and so armenians who are completely poor all their citizens have been living there for decades is that you're dividing line turkey stays engaged in this fight and so apennines. you know no one has called for a civilian armenians to leave the corner cordoba once and in fact when one's not going to cordoba is liberated and becomes part of azerbaijan again those who live there are many are citizens i'm i mean of course they will be allowed they will have the rights to stay there because they've been living there for many years i said in the past before the armenian occupation those areas and our men as were living together but let's not forget the fact that more than a 1000000 ozzy's had to flee. after the armenian occupation and about as far as remember about 30 plus 1000 almost 40000 people died over the last 30 years

i mean i just want to see a repeat in thing of not just once again 7 electively turkey is involved in this because they're happy now allegations that turkey is sending troops sending syrians via turkey in so this fight supplying arms to the is series it appears that turkey is very very invested in this at a time when you are already. fighting with nato members in disputes with nato members in the eastern mediterranean getting involved in libya now that piers there is a 3rd front there happening in the caucasus i mean are you worried that sarkozy is spreading itself a bit too thin facing too many fronts. but 1st of all there is no evidence of the so-called syrian far to score a party is going to a to azerbaijan or facilitated by us by the there is evidence of lebanese are many and individuals i guess are militia you know going to her i mean they're posing before cameras and saying calling openly you know for

a holy war something again all the orange present in the syrian president zelaya is no nonsense to call about. the french president a syrian president has said there are syrians are examples they are can you take. they're not good references really when it comes to facts either the syrian president or the french president i'm not sure because we've had to deal with them in the past on many different occasions but i know the french position the you know they oppose turkey almost on every single issue of a strategic significance in syria in libya we believe france is on the on the wrong side of history i mean in in syria france supports members of p k k which is a terrorist organization listed as a terrorist organization in the in france and other places in libya or france support stuff that is supported by russia and france is a nato member i don't know how it reconciles this with you know with being a member of nato and talking about the security and safety of the southern flank of

of nato in the in north africa etc some of their all of complicated issues there but you know our main concern is to find a diplomatic solution to this but there's i said for this piece to be sustainable or ceasefire to be sustainable it needs to be based on a road map a plan to end occupation that will be the only way to solve this problem so that we don't have to repeat this for the next 30 years ok abraham colleen i'm afraid we are at a time but thank you so much for joining us from the presidential palace in istanbul abraham kelly senior adviser to the turkish president recha type argument thank you . what's more still to come here on this al-jazeera news hour including facing off in the vice presidential debates come one harris and mike pence clash over the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. and in sports joe will be here with the best

the dust aside here a concept for example as we go through sad state temperatures around 35 celsius is that wind say saying they'll be a few showers across the southern end of the red sea and plenty of showers across central africa pushing all the way across the democratic republic of congo well the way towards cameron's big downpours coming through here and form time to time heavy rain see just around like that toria wet weather well that's kind of hugging the rift valley pushing a little further south will see some showers coming into zambia which is showers there still in place across parts of zimbabwe but some wetter weather returning to the southern cape the eastern cape of south africa over the next say that is not just where a little further north was. dry dry but colder weather coming in to the fos out. corruption that is that invisible behind

say is al jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour donald trump has refused to take part in the 2nd u.s. presidential debates after it was announced it would be moved online the debate organizers say they're acting to protect everyone involved from the threat of coronavirus president trump is still recovering from cold with 19 a team from his rival is signaling that joe biden will not spark erik's. cases are surging across much of europe germany posted for thousands of new cases in the past day raising fears the virus could spreads uncontrollably in portugal more than a 1000 new infections were recorded in

a single day for the 1st time since april and italy has reporters with 4000 cases the 1st time since april. pro armenian forces say 30 more soldiers have been killed in the battle over nagorno-karabakh face in with azerbaijani forces brokerage 12 days ago turkey's president has criticized international efforts to solve the crisis and reiterated his support for azerbaijan. well years face president mike pence and his democratic rival come to her as sub squared off for the many challenges facing america sitting their own 3 meters apart and behind to see 3 screen they sparred over the pandemic the kona me ants global warming but it was much less raucous than last week's presidential debate between donald trump and joe biden brunell's reports senator harrison vice president pence thank you for being here the sharp exchanges over the trumpet ministrations handling of the

coronavirus pandemic started the debate whatever the vice president is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasn't worked when you're looking at over 210000 dead bodies in our country american lives that have been lost families that are grieving that loss and you know the vice president is the head of the task force but when you see what the american people have done over these last 8 months hasn't worked. that's a great disservice to the 2nd feiss the american people of maine so let's talk about caring about the american people the american people have had to sacrifice far too much because of the incompetence of this administration pince dodged a question about the rose garden ceremony that became a super spreader event it was an outdoor event which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise the difference here is president trump and i trust the american people to make choices in the best interest of their health care is

fired back let's talk about respecting the american people to respect the american people when you tell them the truth but look senator harris you're trying to do your own opinion but the candidates clashed over the economy taxes and sharply over global warming which harris called an existential threat we have seen a pattern with this administration which is they don't believe in science and joe's plan is about saying we're going to deal with it but we're also going to create jobs donald trump when asked about the wildfires in california and the question was you know the science is telling us this you know what donald trump said that science doesn't know we don't need a massive 2 trillion dollar green new deal that would impose all new mandates on american businesses and american families there were flashes reminiscent of the chaotic troubled biden debate as parents repeatedly interrupted and talked over harris but she remained calm mr vice president speaking if you don't mind letting

me finish we can have a conversation ok please ok senator harris other issues discussed included racial justice policing reform and the rise of white supremacists i want everyone to know who puts on the uniform of law enforcement every day president trump and i stand with you and the reality of this is that we are talking about an election in 27 days where last week the president of the united states took it to. bait stage in front of 70000000 americans and refused to condemn white supremacist whether any of the exchanges in this debate will change many voters' minds remains to be seen meanwhile both parents and harris as well as biden will be campaigning on thursday in arizona a swing state where polls show biden is leading robert also al jazeera salt lake city. man maurice governments is being urged to release 130000 wrangham

aslan's from detention a reports by human rights watch has described life in their refugee camps in rakhine state as squalid and abusive some 750000 rangar fled fled me in march for bangladesh full in a military crack in 2017 well the report says there are severe limitations on movement education health care and shelter that's led to higher rates of malnutrition water borne diseases and the risk of dying young men maher says it's ready to bring them back but it's that's undermined by its own on going to tension ashis refugees in bangladesh of outline conditions for their return include guarantees of safety and freedom for the detained ring of muslims in iraq and states phil robertson is the deputy asia director for human rights watch she explains why it's urgence that the detained ring of muslims are released. these

people would be able to return to their homes they would be able to restart their lives that have freedom of movement they'd have access to livelihoods they'd have the ability to send their children to school they'd be having access to health care that they're currently denied being locked down in these detention camps you know really we would be returning ideally to a pretty 2012 reality in rakhine state where rohingya and rakhine live side by side it wasn't perfect but they got along and that is the challenge now is how do we get them out of these camps and then move towards reconciliation that would allow for people to reside side by side again the endgame here is to have everybody be able to return to me on maher to rakhine state to the places where they had their homes with citizenship freedom of movement and other rights guaranteed ideally we would have the refugees in bangladesh able to return in safety in dignity with

adequate protection and and guarantees for the various rights that they need and this group that is currently detained in these detention camps. is really the sort of bellwether for a decision about rohingya whether to return from bangladesh or not the writing and bangladesh on the road he go are stuck in these camps they're communicating with each other certainly you know on various different online messing ging systems and things like that so they know what's going on and how myanmar treats the current group 130000 who are locked down will really influence of the situation of the rohingya who are in the camps in bangladesh. and in a separate reports and the city has criticized colombia's government's says president still isn't doing enough to protect activists and human rights defenders colombia's one of the world's most dangerous countries for them one in $400.00 have

been killed since the start of $2816.00 that's 80 in just the 1st 6 months of this year. philippine president for djibouti eternity has been criticized for his authoritarian style since you cautious in 2016 but a national survey shows he's still extremely popular and enjoying records approval ratings should be the island organ tells us why. president of the good the turtle has been widely criticized for his so-called war on drugs which has caused the death of thousands of filipinos over the last 4 years he's also cursed the pope threaten to implement martial law and jailed political opponents and now in battling the coronavirus pandemic in southeast asia the philippines is seen as the worst performing country but the spike this a nationwide survey this week shows 2 terrorist performance rating has risen to a record high of 91 percent. it's unbelievable

us not. because we've been losing this information for the past 21 years 1200 people took part in the 6 they survey in mid september and it showed do terror to getting his highest rating among the poorest in society but analysts say detect this popularity isn't unique there is what you can call populist resilience crimes are more your india his numbers went up not during the 3rd quarter but during the 2nd quarter the most difficult time for us in the struggle is concerned his numbers reach closer to 90 percent even people like. even donald trump are not on board the election numbers overall approval ratings did not significantly move this year critics say local surveys may be useful indicators but do not paint

a complete picture but if you maintain his popularity it may be enough to bolster the chance of his allies winning a majority in the 2022 presidential elections the target is only allowed a single term as president under the constitution where there's an early philippine presidency of their popularity fire 0 down in their last 2 years in office. this is why analysts say the real benchmark of the terrorist fower can only be seen in the middle of next year just months before that's why 922 presidential elections but there is no question that the terror to style of governance has shaken the political system here and the next few months will be a critical period in philippine history. dogon al jazeera manila. well as reported earlier the u.k. has reported more than 17500 new coronavirus infections in the past 24

effect so all them is doing for itself what the government is struggling to keeping people safe the central government needs to learn from us in oklahoma about what we've been doing and what's been successful they do to listen to us and rather than doing broadcast surveys room where they tell us what the government is doing which it's not always clear whether or not it's backed up by the science that dialogue needs to be 2 way we need to be feeding back off into the government what we're doing on the ground that's working and then they need to learn from that and roll that out to other areas rather than imposing kind of top down restrictions that are not always but by the science and appear legitimate to vast numbers of people another aspect of why infection rates are spiralling so alarmingly have here in the north is that when the national lockdown was lifted touring the summer it was done on a london centric basis leaving infection rates still uncomfortably high in parts of the north well social and economic inequalities have combined since then to do much of the rest. it's known as the north south divide higher levels of unemployment
