time of your life is the nobel peace prize it is because of the w.t. family they're out there in the most difficult complex places on the world where this war conflict climate extremes it doesn't matter they're out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow here will even. more let's cross live thought that. james bays at the united nations i mean that the chief the diary of a family delight in this is indeed a great recognition of peas work which is so relevant right now and it's all the conflicts and especially the pandemic. absolutely it in some ways was very much a covert 19 award we have a statement just in the last few moments that has come through from the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrace because of course the world. food program is

part of the u.n. and part of the u.n. family is i'm delighted by the decision by the nobel committee he goes on in a world of plenty it's unconscionable that hundreds of millions go to bed every night hungry millions more are now on the precipice of famine juta the covert 19 pandemic and he warmly congratulates david beasley who you saw there and the entire staff and of course the this is a recognition of the 17000 stuff the world food program all around the world but i think it is interesting that the video you just saw from mr beazley was from the share 24 hours ago he was in bikini fast so showing i think one of the most affected areas where there is the the pandemic where there is conflict both affecting the people on the ground and potentially leading to hunger mr beazley is someone who travels very widely in his job it's interesting that he himself contracted coded 19 in the early days of the pandemic got quite

a severe case of it but now by the end of the year clearly recognition for the work of his organization worth telling you to that he's quite an unusual very frank passionate un official who is an american the world food program has or had an american head since the 1980 s. in the us has been hanging on to that particular role so mr beazley appointed in 2017 was actually appointed as the trumpet ministration appointee to this job he's a former republican governor of south carolina we've often heard president trump questioning the nobel prize and why he hasn't got it on this particular morning he may be quite happy that it's going to an organization that is being led by someone he knows personally day as well as at from united nations thanks very much. now breaking news from a can guest on presents a storm by jared jeenbekov has declared

a state of emergency and ordered troops to be deployed in the capital bishkek protests has forced the resignation of the government on tuesday angry over a disputed election results have since been and know russia says it supplies by a security treaty to prevent a total breakdown in kc a ston chance traffic joins us live now from. and charles last time we spoke were discussing the possibility of being on a path towards a resolution now hearing troops being ordered in the capital that's going on. yes a situation very worrying here the president very concerned about the kind of fractions factions that appearing here on the street. there may well be a sense of if you like agreement that he has agreed to step down as he did the

small warning but the political situation and the rivalry between opposition groups . he's very very apparent the crowd behind me the crowd here on the square comprised of multiple opposition groups. old unite seats against the president's and they are relieved that he is agreed to eventually stepping down however they want him and there is also a big concern about another group of protesters that have rallied around. the new prime minister a prime minister that was voted into that position by a parliamentary session that these people these opposition supporters say was completely illegitimate now his supporters have gathered in another area on the other side of the square he a couple of days ago said that a council revolution was being mounted against him and he. supporters he said that he was the only legitimate prime minister that goes is completely contrary to what

these various opposition groups want they want a new parliamentary session they want their own candidates to participate as potential prime ministers and they want an open and free vote according to the constitution i think mr jeenbekov frankly the smalling. may well have been warned by moscow we know that there was a conversation that went on between the head of the russian secret service and the self-appointed head of national security here in kyrgyzstan you get the feeling that jeenbekov has been warned by the russians that they do not want any insecurity or chaos in kyrgyzstan so yeah it's it is a worrying development according to the state of emergency laws in theory nobody is allowed on the streets to 8 o'clock they've got to be back in their homes and as you say he's all to the army and security force used to make roadblocks to prevent

confrontations between rival opposition groups a very worrying development in bishkek this evening i mean when when you say and you put it like that it seems as if the role of the troops is to keep the peace between the different protests is i mean stastny the crowd behind you don't seem too concerned by this particular development and yet we've seen trade tests being cracked down pretty violently and last week. that's right it was at the square in the north of to be elections that we saw that crackdown by security forces and we saw this square cleared now at that time there was a great sense of unity between various opposition groups because they were all complaining about the election results and protesting about the election results things are very different now it's a. different scenario. interestingly are we're hearing a lot of noise coming from the left in that direction in the direction of where

those. rival position groups are starting now whether that means the partner they're trying to cover into the square i don't know but. it is a potential serious flaws but it's very obvious that the president despite his own popularity is very much aware of that of that's war this state of emergency has been declared ok charles will leave it out you go and find out what the commission off camera is but for the moment thanks for and. now france has expressed hope that as ceasefire can be agreed soon in the going to. the foreign ministers of armenia and azerbaijan ahead to moscow for peace talks on friday is the latest effort to end the ongoing conflict over the disputed region as the worst since a cease fire in 1904 mediates is from the u.s. russia and france and also been holding talks in geneva to find a resolution. accuses ery forces of shelling the historic to the savior cathedral

so it's a shower so if you patrol in welcome back. well so if you turn in a rival back in france stepping off the plane i have to say it's one of those moments when the wrong or human emotion that we saw certainly overshadowed any political symbolism so if. a small woman 75 years old stepped off the plane she greeted him out. of course greeted her he was even president when she was taken hostage nearly 4 years ago but then she simply turned to her family members that were waiting for her including some young grandchildren and simply collapsed into their arms and they stood there hugging for a long while the french president was due to give a speech we are expecting to hear from him but he just had to stand aside really while the family caught up with each other so if you had flown in from bamako on

the plane with her son sebastian we also saw pictures of them when they 1st saw each other shortly after she was released in falling into each other's arms sebastian who has campaigned for her release for nearly 4 years he was worried that he might never see his mother alive again she however says that one of the things that she would like to do the most after she is caught up with her family and friends here in france is return to mali that's where she had lived for more than a decade she was running an orphanage there helping poor children and it was in 2016 in december when she was abducted by a gunman from the northern city of galle where often it was located she says in her own words that she loves molly very much it is for her in many respects her home too and it's amazing that after this ordeal that she is looking forward to going back she is indeed an extraordinary woman and it was like you say an emotional

reunion latasha butler thanks for joining us. here is present donald trump is trying to arrange a campaign rally for saturday night in florida trump's doctor says he has now completed his course of treatment for corona virus and that by saturday it will be safe for him to resume public and gauge ment's presence is expected to take another coated 100 test on friday his campaign appearances were postponed after he was hospitalized last week. the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives is looking to introduce legislation that questions whether donald trump is fit to serve in office and he says that may be in an altered state and his judgment impaired because of the steroids he's been taking for coated 19 move is being taken under the 25th amendment it's unlikely to succeed as it needs a majority vote in republican controlled senate plus the support of the vice president. proposed bill relies on section 4 of the u.s.

constitution's 25th amendment that allows for a president to be removed from office if the cabinet and the vice president consider him unfit to perform his duties as a body established by law and the vice president can declare in writing that the president is unfit to carry out his duties office says the bill will help ensure effective and uninterrupted leadership in the highest office of government your state of texas has been a republican stronghold for decades and the last democratic contender to win there was jimmy carter back in 1976 but anger against all jump in cities and suburbs as well as a rising minority population is giving democrats hope that this time around unofficial reports from austin texas. the face of texas voters is changing their younger more diverse and that puts what was a solidly republican state in play 8 democrats are spending time and money hoping

that the 2020 presidential election will bring a breakthrough the thing that we're so excited here about at the texas democratic party from a national perspective is when you put texas you don't take control of the white house for a term you take control of the white house for a generation and we think that's worth fighting for a lot of people have been moving to texas a strong economy a growing tech sector cheaper property prices all driving a change in the way the state lukes and that means new voters from 14000004 years ago to more than 16000000 know an increase about the size of the entire state of connecticut it's estimated there somewhere in the region of 2 and a half 1000000 and registered voters in texas the democratic party is trying to track them down and give them a voice believing if they can do that it will fundamentally change the face of politics in texas and by extension the united states recent protests across the country have increased calls for change in america and the nonpartizan group move

texas which registers people to vote says those on the streets see a path to change through the ballot box i think the black lines matter protests that reenergize folks brought them back into the critical importance of voting. i think by each match or of our organization we are seeing increases as a direct result of this protest texas went for donald trump in the last election its 2 senators a republican 22 of the 36 congressional seats are filled by republicans statistics which should be a warning to overconfident democrats the emphasis on demographics and even energy in the democratic party typically underestimates the ability of republicans in the state who are still very powerful very well funded and very well placed to mount. counter-response you don't get to just make your play and see how it works. see texas will be a tight race but donald trump is still slightly ahead but that means he has to spend time money and effort sure in what used to be

a safe bet for the republicans and even that may be enough to ensure texas was the election one way or another. austin texas. that has not opened its own criminal investigation into battle russian opposition a skier has been added to its wanted list officials say she was placed on the list because of a regional agreement no further details are fed to neighboring a. disputed election mass protests across the country calling for longtime president alexander lukashenko to step down. now they're an integral part of london but the city's bridges have been facing closures and repairs and historic river crossings are showing their age and without them functioning properly entire areas have been left cut off and isolated reports this is a bridge that leads to nowhere in the leafy london suburbs it's supposed to connect

it has become a symbol of political squabbling between local authorities and the government the daily commute resembles an obstacle course with children parents of bumping into each other over railway lines through woods with no social distancing. and if it's been raining this is what they face. not just school children here affected elderly residents have doctors hospital appointments on the other side of the bridge and simply can't get there they're having to do 2 hour bus journeys or pay 50 pounds for a taxi which had to get to essential services from this 19th century cost and construction. to the 1970 steel and concrete formation of london bridge behind me it would appear that the city's famous river crossings are in a state of disrepair even london's iconic tower bridge had to close for 2 days

recently because of a fault with its drawbridge mechanism now the hours between local and central government authorities still can't figure out over who exactly is responsible for a pairing that the british transport secretary has since launched a task force that he assures will be decisive quick and take steps that will be good for commuters good for residents and good for business but many remain wary of central government's big promises to repair essential infrastructure the complex and difficult part which is working out how you restore the mid 19th century cost bridge on really 80 push to do that has be worked out great cost him with the of the best projects which in the world but you have to then have the money only central government has the money. but they haven't until 2 weeks ago even engage they have met all but that have a call for it but they couldn't in the year get the usable stone are also being

blamed the government reduced local authority budgets by up to a 3rd in urban areas that has left its mark on infrastructure all over the country and the pandemic has only worsened matters buried underneath the stories that for that elusive produce in britain and america london you whose transport authority has lost its huge amounts of revenue because of 90 radically reducing passage and the truth is only the u.k. national government has the kind of resources are most to deliver and improve this country the many crossings along the river thames are critical to connecting the british capital the question is will the public purse be generous enough to stop. london's bridges from falling down. al-jazeera london. china's annual golden week holiday has seen hundreds of millions of people taking

advantage of relaxed coronavirus restrictions for a quick getaway domestic tourist trips are at 80 percent of preponderant figures to make up pollen reports. coming home this crowd is part of an estimated half a 1000000000 people who celebrated the golden week holiday as tourists the railway station is packed scenes that would have been unimaginable just a few months ago because of the pandemic nearly 10 months after the croon a virus 1st surfaced in china the country is on the move again a sigh of relief for the millions who faced some of the world's toughest lock downs as the government fought to contain the outbreak with the declaration that the outbreak is under control and no new domestic infection since august the government relaxed travel restrictions allowing millions of families to take trips around the country and take advantage of being out in the open but i saw some fish and coral and the waters 3 different colors you feel is great according to the ministry of

would have at least a 1000000 arrivals during the holiday period from mainland china this year that figures dropped to less than i thought. 1000 china has the world's biggest population and has managed to give its economy a boost by getting its people moving again but that's not an option for many other parts of the world which are in various stages of lockdowns the united nations conference on trade and development is estimating the global tourism industry will lose at least $1.00 trillion dollars this year. hong kong. so without is there are these are our top stories so breaking news from stalin when the president has declared a state of emergency and ordered the deployment of troops to the capital bishkek has been growing unrest since anticipate his election results.
