a very clear that they're here in santa clara ever constitutional rights and they said to the. public institutions they called whites terrorists this goes back to when home is still the same quarter where the 2 suspects appeared last week. and they had done that to try to get access treat those suspects white families here say that they are fed up with the lack of justice with the way in which suspects in far murders are prosecuted they're fed up with the number of all murders and attacks that are taking place in the last year alone they've been about 37 people killed on farms about 259 attacks on and one of those has lived through tensions that exist between these 2 koreas phonecalls and so scam missions earlier we saw the stones been thrown and when speaking to people on both sides of this divide let's look at the people who've

said that they're prepared to fight they're prepared to do whatever's necessary to defend themselves and make their point and of course. that happened to be along racial lines tell us about the court case what are we expecting to happen today. those 2 suspects are in court at the moment they've been in court for a couple of hours now they're applying for bail it's not clear if they won't get bail but of course there is concern that this will be the tensions we've already seen just given the sensitivities around this particular case and events in recent weeks by one of the other things that can mention is that one of the men who stormed the courts last week a white man appeared in court and there are no charges of his own he was denied bail he's appealing that so it is likely that perhaps the 2 men in court know for the murder of brendan warner the sponsor manager who was killed

a likely to never get bail is especially considering that both these men have been arrested previously and that's one of the issues that demonstrators form a specifically have raised but in march enough has been done by the government to deal with the violence and. the serious fundamental reporting there live from santa col in south africa hundreds of prisoners who've been on the frontlines of yemen's civil war are continuing to return home to the capital sanaa 2 planes carrying hooty fighters who've been held by the saudi u.a.e. coalition of arrived that another plane carrying coalition fighters as arrived in the southern port city of aden after leaving some of the swap is seen as a trust building measure aimed at reviving peace talks serious mohamad. is at port where those free freed who thesis been arriving. and as another poster has wetness

which departure are all for another $75.00 present for the internationally recognized government they will be they will be allowed to go on that on that plane in order to go to aid in the polls. today we will but as the complaint complete the deal because both sides have agreed already to receive in general in total $1082.00 prisoners of war. in thailand thousands of protesters are on the streets of bangkok defying a government ban on gatherings police blocking roads and what's expected to be another tense night have antique up but demonstrations there calling for the prime minister's resignation and reforms to the monarchy. is refusing to stand. but i have a look at what the hong kong model did to hong kong the economy is damaged everything is in chaos untarnished look at their protest as they are

a democratic society and so are we and we doing the best we can but we all need to help each other when i was there a scot hide out those protests in bangkok right behind me you can see that those crowd control police officers many who have been stationed around the area will be some more than 10000 protesters gathering it started small in the afternoon and grew quite large and then ended peacefully at 10 pm on thursday evening but what they have done to prevent this from happening again so the plan today friday was a gathering again at 5 pm which is right now in the same area so what the police have done as they've set up barricades like this behind me at all major avenues going into that intersection we saw those people gather the protesters gather snipe at least a kilometer on each side but what we're hearing now the protesters have just announced probably in the last 45 minutes they're going to hold a protest down there just down the street so right now the police some of the

police i should say are staying where they are right now to make sure that this area secure the area from last night secure but we're hearing that there's a small gathering so far pretty small just down the street probably another half a kilometer down another block down just outside where these police officers are set up. american voters were asked to tune into during televised events on thursday with president donald trump and democratic candidate joe biden both vying for their attention the 2 originally planned to face off on a shared debate stage boss off of the president's covered by team diagnosis and subsequent refusal to participate in a virtual event the would be debate split into separate events featuring the kind that it solo and airing at the same time how these are castro reports. with the pandemic raging in a divided america president trump was on the defensive in florida and if you are

never going to die. i didn't like supremacy of what you next place appearing to have recovered from his 3 day hospitalization for kobe 19 but trailing in national polls the president also refused to denounce q one on a baseless conspiracy movement which has grown exponentially during america's outbreak i know nothing about it i just try to do a very little you told me but what you tell me doesn't necessarily make it so i hate to say that i know nothing about it i do know they are very much against it pedophilia they find it very hard but i knew nothing of the day to leave the president's event aired at the same time as a town hall event with democratic challenger joe biden in philadelphia which mirrored his steady low key campaign presence in my view with all due respect to spend divide and conquer the way he does better if he splits us there's division.

and i think people need hope both candidates took questions and comments from voters some laudatory in the way and some mighty smart. others were tougher what's your view on the crime bill that you wrote in 1994 which showed prejudiced against minorities. it was a mistake and biden who's campaigns been hit by 3 recently disclosed corona virus infections lashed out against trump's handling of the pandemic more than 217000 americans have died in the words of a president matter absolutely no matter whether they're good bad or indifferent they matter and want to president doesn't wear a mask or make fun of folks like me when i was wearing a mask for a long time then you know people say well it must be that important press by the moderator our masks trump defended himself by falsely characterizing the study but just the other day they came out with the statement that 85 percent of the people that we have massed for jack shit you know this is a guy yesterday as i just said that's what i heard and that's what i saw i think

the disservice may have already been done for the past 3 to 4 years maybe one way and you know misinformation and this information all these things i think became our new reality and i think. it's not shocking anymore that's the maybe the sad thing about. the final presidential debate is scheduled for october 22nd and so far both sides have agreed to attend but with the feared 2nd wave of covert approaching and the virus penetrating both campaigns nothing can be counted on an election year like no other. castro al jazeera philadelphia at one point the moderates in miami criticized the president for boosting conspiracy theories about his rival. just this week you reach tweeted to your 87000000 followers a conspiracy theory that job i didn't work history did to help seal team 6 the navy

intersection that's about a way behind the camera now they said the protest organizers throughout the day that they were going to do that again at 5 pm local time which is about an hour ago so the police and the authorities locked down that entire area very central important part of the shopping district here in central bangkok they locked it down because that's where they thought this protest was going to be the protesters held up behind me about half a kilometer away from where that cordon was set for where they thought it was going to be where it was announced so what's interesting is then within 15 minutes after they announced that it was going to be here. here and this intersection over a 1000 people showed up we're looking at probably well over a 1000 possibly 2000 are already here within an hour after they said it was going to happen now what's also happened is. to get around bangkok if you ever been here you know the sky train is absolutely vital and 3 of the stations have been closed because of this protest but more so and i think it's pretty safe to say that the

police were taken aback by what has happened behind me so they have locked down the city on this side but it's actually happening over here so they're kind of taken aback by the way the protesters organized this and that we're hearing the same calls as we did last night as you had mentioned you know the main one of the main criteria for these protesters out here is what they're fighting for and that is that the prime minister step down and that they've been chanting behind me there's a makeshift stage in the middle of this very large intersection here but again what needs to really be recognized here is that they were able to get authorities because of this planned protest able to get authorities to lock down a very important part of central bank are serious called hi-lo reporting live there from bangkok's company thanks indeed ben a russa's put the opposition leader chicken of sky on its wanted list she recently met european leaders not to flame to lithuania following the disputed election that

summit appears explicitly to rule that a canada style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st we don't rangelands that are more like australia's based on simple principles of global free trade a scholar thanks paul brennan has in london can tell us more about this poll the e.u. has refused to negotiate seriously what happened to the prime ministers of unready deal that he promised voters ahead of last year's election. yeah that phrase leapt out at me as well as the accusation of the e.u. had refused to negotiate seriously despite the intensive negotiations which have been going on for many weeks now between lord frost on the british side and michel barnier on the european union side it's clear that the statements are getting stronger i mean the context of this of course is that the u.k. prime minister boris johnson had set yesterday thursday as the deadline in his eyes

anyway for a breakthrough to be achieved in those talks the summit which is taking place in brussels at the moment which britain britain is not part of should have signed off on a deal that should have been ready by now unfortunately it's not. the boris johnson of last month was saying that if it's not then we have to be prepared to contemplate the prospect of walking away without a deal having got to this stage with the talks still ongoing there i think the prime minister realised that he had to say something and he was pressed twice in that statement that he made in the questions which followed as to say so are you actually walking away or not and he wouldn't say i'm walking away what he's saying is we are now braced for the idea of an australia type deal and that is a w t o world trade organization arrangements post the transition period there's a glimmer of hope the talks will will continue it seems michel barnier a says he says he's prepared to come to london on monday of next week to continue

food chain unfortunately they have dismissed the alternatives did not use the best available technology and they have this crisis of over a 1000000 tons of contaminants in water. the alternative is very clear which is to continue to store in more robust tanks the japanese government's own committee in february issued a report or acknowledged that storage on site after 2022 was possible it ruled out because it's they said to them it would take time to negotiate there's also the land outside the fukushima daiichi site which of course is highly contaminated and will not be inhabited by most people from that era for the foreseeable future so the storage option is clearly the best option other than rather than releasing directly into the environment and that's what we've been telling the guy japanese government and that's what we'll be demanding that they do this is not over the government's making
