and the spend that we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter on the soldiers 0 there is no channel that covers world news like we do we revisit places to stay and just there are really invests in that and that's a privilege as a journalist. the in. the on the outer. al-jazeera. the arab. hello there i am alan hidden in doha with the al-jazeera news are coming up for you in the next 60 minutes to record global jump in corona virus infections driven largely by a surging 2nd wave across europe. debates over the debate donald trump and

joe biden will to push back their 2nd contest so it can be held in person. 30 more soldiers are killed in the region being fought over by our media and as a by sharpness international mediators are to meets in geneva. and jakarta streets become battle zones cheering the latest protests against a contentious intimidation jokes while. the at. war we begin this news hour with a deeply worrying developments in the coronavirus pandemic the world health organization has announced a record one day goal lobel jump in and factions i almost 3 139000 johns hopkins university says the torso house ny past 36000000 more than a 1000000 people of course are known to have died from the corona virus

a little over 25000000 people have recovered well the picture in europe is growing darker by the day as winter approaches francis recorded more than 18000 new cases for the 2nd day. the running pressure is growing on hospitals especially in and around paris germany which had been praised for its response has seen for thousands new cases in the past day and it's feared the virus could be stretching there uncontrollably and the u.k. is even considering more restrictions as its 2nd wave accelerates they've recorded more than 17500 new infections well let's get more on this now from rurik chalons he joins us now from central london and tell us more about the situation in the u.k. we're seeing a nice surgeon positive test results what is the government planning to do about

this. india this is a certainly 17 and a half 1000 new cases you say that's up 3000 on the day before so things really starting to accelerate fost in the u.k. very very concerning for the governments very very concerning for the country now deaths in a hospital still nowhere near what we were seeing in the dog days of april 77 deaths recorded over the last 24 hours compare that to the many hundreds see into the thousands being recorded back in the spring so obviously we're not there yet but the government is trying to work out what to do to make sure that we don't get to that stage again that they don't want to go back to a full national lockdown that's very clear it would be crippling for an economy

that is already being severely battered by the measures that have had to be taken to control or try to control coverage 19 so what they're trying to do is bring in more localized measures more localized lockdowns and so there is an announcement next week bars and restaurants will be forced to close in the north of england and other measures probably coming down the line as well we will have to wait another few days perhaps that before those made properly public there is growing criticism though from local politicians. in the north of england so andy burnham who's the mayor grace of manchester was very surprised it is a city match so it was it was going to be forced to close bars and restaurants he said that the 1st he heard of this was in the times newspaper that he'd had meetings with government ministers the cabinet. in the last few days man mentioned

anything about it but there has been criticism coming from within the government's own party as well on a local regional level with people saying that unless there is financial assistance given to these parts of the country that are going into the great lock down measures then this is again going to be a hammer blow to the economy so it's a difficult line for the government and say it doesn't seem to be managing a particularly well at the moment well sadly a difficult situation in the u.k. where you are but it's not just the u.k. is it across the channel we've been seeing a surge in infections as well in fran's what are the french government trying to do to stem this tide. yeah well for the 2nd day running new cases in france of the. 18000 a day and the government has announced on thursday that legal

grenoble legal sense that c.n.n. will move to the maximum level on the and the the highest level of risk stricture ns so those places join paris and boss say which are already there so these highest levels of restrictions mean that bars have to close there are restrictions on how restaurants are operates the. measures by which public spaces public venues can only open if they have strict. tracking measures in in place basically strict measures for 4 or so operating in and maintaining health levels etc. so yes in france things getting worse as well it's clear that across europe the 2nd wave of coronavirus is pretty much in full

swing now ok mary chalons that bring us the very latest from london thank you. very chalons there dominic kane is in berlin he reports on the situation in germany and elsewhere in europe. this is the reality of covidien ukraine another life claimed by a virus whose 2nd wave is now sweeping across europe here in the town of stepanek a hospital designed for 100 people now has 106 corona patients alone. we are catastrophic li short of doctors the pressure is incredible and the infectious department we have one doctor per $47.00 patients. around the continent the number of new infections is surging austria has announced its highest daily figures so far in poland 2 unprecedented numbers of people are testing positive for the virus prompting the government to say it will introduce

a general mask rule for all people outdoors and perhaps impose a state of emergency elsewhere as here in belgium the spike in cases has forced ministers to say no more than 4 people will be allowed to meet together in public but in spain the rate of new infections has slowed in recent days and a partial lockdown for the capital has been thrown out by a madrid court which said it infringed people's fundamental freedoms whilst in germany a surge in cases is causing deep concern at the highest levels. of 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 cases a day it's possible that the virus spreads uncontrollably in the german capital officials say that testing capacity has reached 95 percent with little scope for greater testing if numbers continue to climb. one of the measures being suggested the whole country isn't ready in place here in the so-called trickle of traffic

like warning system with 3 different code criteria on. the number of intensive care beds occupied by corona patients the awful reproductive rate of the fires and the number of info. sections per 100000 residents for the moment the federal government believes its existing measures are enough and. germany so far managed this crisis well when you look at the map of europe you'll see until now germany is a solid rock in this pandemic but we are seeing rising numbers across europe so far there's no suggestion of another national lockdown politicians are perhaps fearful of the damage such a step would wreak on an already suffering economy and they know there are many people here who believe the existing measures are too strong dominant cane al-jazeera berlin.

donald trump says he will not participate in the 2nd u.s. presidential debates if it's held virtually that's after the debate commission announced it would be moved online trump's team says the debate should be delayed so that it can be held in paris on october 22nd president trump of course is still recovering from his coronavirus infection his challenger joe biden seemed has accused trump of trying to dodge questions over covert 19 and the economy let's get more now from our white house correspondent kimberly hauck and she joins us now live from washington d.c. kimberly this has been moving a lot in the last few hours just walk us through what's happened and where we stand now. where we stand now the upshot of all of this is that there will only be one more presidential debate but getting to that decision has been watching a ping pong ball match back and forth with the ball between the 2 campaigns being

lobbed back and forth this whole thing started and really unfolded for several hours when the presidential commission on debates announced you know what donald trump has koepp it for the safety and concern of everyone involved let's just have the next presidential debate to be held in miami on the 15th let's have that be virtual while donald trump was livid he was furious he accused the debate commission of being biased that if it was virtual they'd be able to cut off his mike and they also he also accused his rival joe biden the democratic presidential challenger of being pathetic of being weak that essentially he was afraid to because of the risk that might be posed to the covert 19 well this infuriated the biden campaign they lobbed back saying ok we won't have the debate on the 15th we'll just talk to voters and then we'll push it back on the 22nd this way donald

trump is not able to a vaid accountability well that seemed to touch a nerve with the trunk campaign so next thing you know the trump campaign is saying great all be there i'll be there on the 22nd and we'll have that 3rd debate on the 29th because we want to talk about joe biden's failed record of 47 years that touched off the nerves of the biting campaign who then issued a statement saying you know what donald trump you don't get to control the debate schedule we're going to have that debate on the 22nd and that's it period that seems to be where it's landed finally so there's going to be one more debate not 2 more debates it's going to be on the 22nd both men going to appear there and remember that 1st presidential debate it was pretty disastrous everybody yelling and shouting and very little control hardly present. well the next what is supposed to be a town hall format it promises to be a little bit more subdued simply because of the nature of how the questions will be posted very quickly in the midst of all of this donald trump says even though it's

recovering from covert 19 that he's still planning to hold his rallies the next one is scheduled we believe for monday in pittsburgh have also there be something to look forward to it can be home for now thank you very much indeed let's get more on this note from charles moran he's a republican party strategist and joins us now on skype from new york great to have you with us on the news or debating about to be part and parcel of any presidential campaign but for many observers it would appear surprising that the trump campaign turned a safer virtual formats in the middle of a pandemic why does the trump campaign justify this why the reluctance to to move the debates on mine. thanks for having me on today simply because a virtual slash online glorified infomercial is not a debate if we wanted to see more of the candidates reciting their talking points

delivering their monologues we could just go to their campaign websites and see their speeches around ways the purpose of a debate is to be able to have that engagement to have that rapid fire interaction with one another and when the debate commission unilaterally without consulting the campaigns decided to change the format they change the very nature of this hallowed institution so the key trunk campaign was absolutely within its justification to pull out and say this isn't what we agree to this completely changes the nature of what we're read to and there's no point in doing it but there's also the safety aspect if it leaves the back and forth to one side i think many people who watched the 1st debates having seen the nature of the back and forth to one side would probably have preferred something with a little bit more control in terms of the safety aspect the president of the united states has called it 19 it's so unclear if he's infectious or not there is

a safety issue the united states is in the middle of this pandemic how do you think the years old we're going to view this decision because on the surface it does look like the campaign is thumbing its nose at the at any efforts to make the debate stage safer. it's not a debate if you do it over resume and there are so many different ways that you can protect all the people and all the participants from covert 19 i mean we've got 1st responders across the nation who are engaging on a daily basis with people with proven let's not be transmitted i think to people on a stage with the appropriate amount of protection and just turns with the proper start up you know absolutely be within a decent proximity of one another and hope it is not going to contract and you know what again it's this is about the very nature of what debate it's another level just low let let us out there so you take you up on that point though because the pandemic is the number one issue in the safety of this is the number one issue in

as sense emerged after the 1st debate and in cleveland ohio the president john didn't actually take a test before that debate 6 members of his family were taking their masks off assoon as they sat down in fact people actually don't know when donald trump's last negative coronavirus test was so sure that the safety issue should be paramount and surely the should be answers to some of these questions that the campaign and so the press than are answering right now. well the president firstly the only group on the stage are joe biden and donald trump but just when she doesn't use last negative coronavirus test of i do not work for the white house and i do not know when run a virus test you have to refer that to the white house because people have a right to have the answer to that's why our growth there is because he can will cross the words of the president when he will not take a coronavirus test before it's a bait and will not tell american media when his last negative test was. the

president acquiesced to the commission and said fine let's push back these debates to provide an accurate adequate amount of time for him to get out of that that quarantine time push it you know push the debates back to the national debate and then schedule another one after so the president is absolutely address the safety and the warranty concerns and it doesn't look like joe biden actually wants to get on the stage with donald trump and even well after he will come out of that coat in 1000 quarantine time so it really looks like actually like joe biden is the person who doesn't want to get on the stage with donald trump not you know any without any kind of safety issue here do you think needs these debates more donald trump or joe biden i think the majority of the people have made up their minds these debates are pro-forma and anything but what you will get out of these debates is the nuance you'll see the style you'll see this and i think what people really see joe biden meets the debates more he needs to show that he actually can take on

donald trump and isn't you know mentally crippled or handicaps like you know so many people even within his own party believe it is that he has the stamina to actually keep up with donald trump and not have the type of slips that he's prone to al ok we will have to leave it there but thank you so much for sharing your thoughts where those are now to say eric great to get your thoughts and analysis thank you thank you. well later in the news i will have an hour of the other debates that happens between vice president mike pence and joe biden's running mates come along her a city stay with us for that also coming up on the news hour a kidnapping course unravels in michigan the f.b.i. says the target was the state's governor. the number of coronavirus cases rises in the philippines but so too is the president's popularity will take a look at why and she will tell you all about it's the 19 year old trees meets the french open final sounds coming up here later in support. of.

the u.s. has imposed a more sanctions on iran's financial sector targeting 18 banks who were already under american sanctions the move is in defiance of european countries who warn that the measures could have devastating humanitarian consequences the u.s. state department says the sanctions reflects washington's commitment to stop courts illicit access to u.s. dollars well iranian foreign minister german serif immediately tweeted his response he said amid the covert $1000.00 pandemic the us regime wants to blow up our remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelties but conspiring to starve a population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who block our money will face

justice let's head live day to russell and jordan she joins us from washington d.c. rosalind lots more sanctions being unveiled a guess that maybe question is what's left to sanction. well that's a really good question and perhaps the biggest criticism of the trumpet ministrations sanctions regime against iran is that the culminating impact is that this is hurting the iranian people certainly we have seen that criticism coming not just from e.u. nations but also from a wide range of humanitarian organizations around the world now the treasury department went in announced this latest round of sanctions against these 18 iranian banks said that these banks would still have exemptions so that they could bring in funds to facilitate the purchase of emergency food and medicine to serve

the iranian people of course people have criticized the u.s. for making it much harder to get that sort of humanitarian aid to the iranian people but leave no doubt the trumpet ministration has made one of its key foreign policy objectives the international isolation of iran because of what it says is iran's attempts to develop a viable nuclear weapons program and it believes that by cutting off all avenues of getting cash into the hands or the under the control of the iranian government that the trumpet ministration ultimately will be successful but we have not seen that at least not as of right now rosalynn joys in their life for a say in washington d.c. thank you very much indeed. now one of iran's most renowned singers mohammad reza jorian has died from cancer aged 80 those of his fans gathered outside the hospital

with a 2 time grammy award winner diets she jorian was a classic persian musician and composer with a career spanning over half a century he sang in support of iran's islamic revolution in his early career but was later banned from holding concerts and releasing music were supposed to be supporting anti government protests 2009. 6 people have been charged with trying to kidnap the governor of the u.s. state of michigan the f.b.i. says the men were planning to kidnap gretchen whitmer at her hole as a home they were going to buy explosives and tried to make improvised bombs with nervous both praised and criticized for her strong response to the coronavirus pandemic are to protesters gathered at the capitol building for weeks and april may after those restrictions were imposed across the state. well 7 other people linked

to the militia group wolverine watchman were also charged with plotting to attack government buildings and kidnap officials the individuals in custody are suspected to have attempted to identify the home addresses of law enforcement officers in order to target them made threats of violence intended to instigate a civil war engaged in planning and training for an operation to attack the capitol building of michigan and the kidnapped government officials including the governor of michigan. let's go live now to john hendren he's in chicago as far as a judge this seems like a pretty credible story a foil splode not the governor of the state of michigan bookie tellus. it was an elaborate and dramatic plot according to the charges and one that was well under way at the beginning of the year federal authorities including the

f.b.i. say they found through social media that this group of militia members was trying to get together and was talking about fomenting violence it's more threatening into context there that in april president trump said liberate michigan and been specifically critical of governor gretchen whitmer there is no suggestion here that they were immediately motivated by trump's words but on the 30th of april a group of militia members armed militia members entered the capitol as part of a protest that wall all this was going on the f.b.i. managed to get. a conspirator to talk to them and to wear a wire these men met in western michigan and they met in the basement of one of those men's home and this is how elaborate it was it was like a spy film in order to get into the basement they had to lift a trap door under a rug and in that meeting room which was the f.b.i.

obtained a recording of them they would take everybody's cell phones and take them away but their informant was wearing a wire and according to that wire the men decided to use lethal force they were going to kidnap governor gretchen whitmer of michigan and among other things that they were going to blow up a bridge to distract police they had twice surveilled her home and on one occasion tested out the explosive they were going to use used a taser as well and you heard that bite that sound bite a little earlier correctly apparently the ultimate goal was to. foment civil war and one of the things they wanted to do after they captured gretchen whitmer and whatever other officials that they have obtained they would have obtained was to try her for treason the big criticism here is that gretchen whitmer initiated one of the staunchest crackdowns for covert 19 across the nation president trump had been highly critical of her for that among the things that she ordered during her

lockdown was that people couldn't even go into their own vacation homes in michigan now some people in michigan particularly these militia members were upset about that the f.b.i. says that they have cracked that plot and now you have charges against these men and those charges include sentences for decades to a lifetime in prison ok john hendren that live for us in chicago thank you. still to come on the new sour and i'm the steak of 0.7 points the nobel prize for literature is and i take a look at port louise books where it's for the world's credit some record breaking night on the track in spain joe will be here with all the sports teams.

issues rangar refugees in bangladesh have claimed conditions for their return they include guarantees of safety and freedom for the detained rangar muslims in iraq own state. 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 mar 2 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 running and bangladesh in the row who 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 solution of the rohingya who are in the camps in bangladesh. it was a debate seen as much more cordial than the just between donald trump and joe biden

but there was still plenty of tension between us vice president mike pence and the democrats wanting to replace him comma heris separated by 3 meters and cast screens they sparred over coronavirus the economy and global warming here's rob reynolds senator harrison vice president pence thank you for being here the short exchange 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. it's a great disservice to the sucker for i says the american people of maine so let's
