course to be the next president forced to work on farms without pay for decades indigenous australians launched legal action seeking compensation. to simply go to school to use the los angeles dodgers are on their way to the world series of to compete in the spirit come from behind victory over the atlanta braves. thanks for joining us the number of people around the world who've the contract coronavirus has surpassed 40000000 a quarter of those are so active cases countries right across europe are imposing more restrictions to tackle the new wave of infections many have seen a spike in daily cases including poland which is turning its national stadium into a hospital to cope with the influx of patients its health minister warns infections
4:02 pm
could increase 520000 cases a day if people there don't stick to the rules and slovenia isn't forcing a nighttime curfew it's also declared a 30 day state of emergency as cases there doubled in the past week and austria is limiting public gatherings to 6 people indoors and 12 outdoors. wales is going into a national lockdown for 2 weeks starting on friday more than 3000000 people will be affected and everybody apart from essential workers will have to stay home let's bring in bob he's across all these developments the team is joining us from london to 1st look at the situation over in wales what more can you tell us about how that decision was made. well there in obviously this is a decision by the devolved government of wales and it stands in contrast to the situation in england for example because the the u.k. government in fact was advised last month by its scientific advisors that
4:03 pm
a national lockdown of what they're calling a circuit break perhaps of 2 or 3 weights would be a good idea to drive down cases but they decided against it now wales has gone gone it alone with the toughest restrictions in the u.k. you can call it a lockdown comparable to what we saw earlier in the year because the 1st minister mark dreyfus has said that people must work from home wherever possible people must stay at home except for very limited purposes such as for exercise the things i. gatherings for halloween bonfire night and so on coming up are all out of the window schools are going to reopen in some cases. after the half term holiday. and basically this is going to really remind people of what conditions were like earlier in the year he says the 1st minister says there will be a half a $1000000000.00 fund to support businesses hit by these restrictions which are
4:04 pm
going to last a should specify for 2 weeks and he said that they need to be short but sharp to have a max maximum impact on the virus well this is the debate here in the u.k. elsewhere there are localised restrictions for greater manchester a region of almost 3000000 again in north west england or forties that a still holding out against the government's wish to put them into the highest level of restrictions they want to more money for people who whose business is his workplaces will be shut by those open ended restrictions that's the key thing there the british chambers of commerce a warning that there must be the right for. in actual support there will be a catastrophic economic impact but we're hearing that in fact in many cities in in england including manchester the weekly rate rates of transmission are actually
4:05 pm
falling now but in the hospital's intensive care unit so almost fall in some parts of that so a greater manchester area so there's the the big di lemma it's all to do with how to protect public health services as the country goes into the winter period and it seemed this picture is sort of the same situation in other countries in europe now experiencing what's being described as a 2nd wave. absolutely you are referencing poland which is making a football stadium ready to take up the you know the demands of the expected rise in covered cases take the pressure off the health system there will in belgium now the 2nd highest death toll in the world per population from covered 19 there they've already shut bars and restaurants for a month they're now imposing a nighttime curfew from monday night austria is now bringing in
4:06 pm
a limit to the number of people that can gather it's 6 people indoors and 12 people outdoors are very very worried by the rise that they're seeing in over the weekend they saw their highest daily new cases the best part of 2000 and then it's really the country which was the 1st to be really hard hit they are now telling bars that they have to shut by 6 pm unless they're offering table service that's going to be a big cultural shock in italy they're buying amateur sports and they're banning local festivals and fairs which are a big part of life in italy these are all measures which they want they're trying to do to avoid a national lockdown but whether they can actually avoid what wales has now implemented is very hard to predict ok nadine barber reporting from london and in fact you. well dr gloria tell yani is a professor of infectious diseases that supplants
4:07 pm
a university of rome and she's confident that the new measures are enough to get the outbreak under control in italy. first of all we have to say that the number has not increasing in it's been a sure way we are searching infected people in are very deep way and off course as much as you look for them in the most you look for them the most to find them but what is important to underline is that we find infected people not people with the disease the this is the the the number the fraction of people with the disease quite small and the fractional persons who are severely ill easier than smaller therefore we cannot say that we are in the same condition as we read in march and don't really believe there will be the need for a lockdown a 2nd distance teaching and mostly for older students
4:08 pm
those of the higher classes will make a great difference in the future spreading of the virus and indeed cures in the next 2 weeks so i think that we should be confident that this manges we cope effectively with the increase of the numbers we have observed in the last weeks iran has reported its highest ever single day rise in corona virus deaths 337 fatalities raises the total to more than 30000 and more than 4000 new infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours despite restrictions imposed 3 weeks ago schools gems and theaters are all closed and wearing a mask in public is compulsory and parts off the country let's get an update from
4:09 pm
the rest of the bars he's joining us from toronto a spike in the daily death toll. why has there been an increase. well one of the main reasons and that is one of also that cause of concern for health officials is that people are not taking these restrictions seriously in the capital despite the fact that many people are asked to stay home in the schools are closed and universities are all closed there is still a lot of people that are going about their daily routines the malls are open restaurants are still open and they are not hearing to the words of the health officials who are urging people to limit their movements in the city this is also one of the reasons that one of the main reasons for that is that many people don't have the luxury of staying home they have to earn a living there is no help financial aid from the government that's being offered at the moment so many people that we've spoken to say that staying at home for them is just not an option they have to make a living so the traffic that we see on
4:10 pm
a regular basis in the capital one of the busiest provinces in the country continues the spike this outbreak even though people are the majority of people that we see across the city wear masks there are still many people who go about their daily business and they try to earn a living many of the taxi drivers that we spoke to say they just can't afford to stay home they have to earn their day's wages because there is absolutely no help financial aid from the government during this pandemic so will the government then be introducing new restrictions. well the government here never actually shut down the country completely even though it's one of the 1st countries in the middle east to have the outbreak in february it began they've said that they just can't afford to shut down the country completely even though they have reduced they have introduced all kinds of restrictions and fines there the issue is that they're not being imposed i've seen many people who don't actually stay home and their businesses the private businesses like hair
4:11 pm
salons and private gyms are still open and there is actually no authority that is following through it's trying to limit this from happening so people in turn continue to go about doing their regular routines so the one of the main issues is that the rules are not being enforced and health officials have warned that the death toll will continue to rise and that one of the reasons that is because they said this this is the 3rd wave that iran has witnessed over the past a few months and this is one of the deadliest and that is they believe because the strain that has come through of covert 1000 is one of the strongest and also one of the reasons of the highest death toll that we've seen so far is that health officials have said over 80 percent of the people who become infected and pass away from this disease a disease have preexisting conditions there is over 11 percent of the population who are diabetic in iran so there is already a very a range of people who are susceptible to become very ill from this disease and this
4:12 pm
is why the officials have urged people to abide by the rules but the spiral that the economic situation in the country is absolutely not susceptible to people staying home. with an update from toronto or so thank you. now thailand's prime minister has issued a conciliatory message to protest or is saying rallies which were banned are now permitted as long as there are peaceful thousands demonstrated in bangkok for a 6 day to demand. resignation they want a more democratic constitution as well as changes to the monarchy but it. well the government has to do is protect the monarchy because this is the juicy of all types people we request just these few things and we request the protesters to demonstrate peacefully. there's no plan to expand the area of the state of emergency the government's trying to compromise as much as possible i want to ask the protesters for a few things don't destroy government and private property don't do anything wrong
4:13 pm
and most importantly don't let there be fighting scott heiler has more from bangkok . this protest is in the custody district of bangkok now this is one of 3 that were announced very late in the afternoon on monday and within 90 minutes we were hear of that announcement there are people showing up already in their hundreds it is swollen to more than a couple of 1000 now again there are 2 other locations within bangkok again announce at the same time there are 6 across the northern part of thailand also being held on monday evening now it's interesting how the organizers of the protest are doing this now they're announcing the protest location time late in the afternoon and the people come out very quickly now what's interesting is that they've said the protest leaders to protest organizers that everybody is a leader so everybody is participating and you can see that here also something that's interesting is that there's a very light if no police presence that's something that's kind of transitioned over what we saw obviously last friday evening but one thing that the protesters
4:14 pm
are saying here they're going to maintain this level of protesting to put pressure on the government from the only thing that we can do is to keep coming out to show that we are not happy with the government. the monarchy reform is another important change perhaps the most important one in the past the monarchy played an important role behind many coups earlier in the day type police have said that they've ordered a regulatory body to investigate for media outlets for possible infractions of spreading false information and also spreading information that could incite violence now this is tied to that emergency decree that came out early thursday morning also part of that decree is a ban on gatherings obviously that's something the protesters are ignoring and saying they're going to continue to ignore still ahead on the al-jazeera news hour and another ceasefire on the edge of collapse the u.n. chief says as our base and armenia are ignoring international calls to stop fighting we have a live updates. and battling blisters cold temperatures and closed shelter as
4:15 pm
we meet some of the venezuelan migrants looking for a better life abroad through. european countries set out a joint bid for the women's world cup peter will have that story coming up in sports. but 1st the wall street journal is reporting that china has threatened to detain a merry can citizens if its academics are prosecuted in the u.s. several chinese academics with undisclosed ties to the military were arrested in the u.s. in recent months they were accuse the flying on their visa applications in order to conduct industrial espionage china has reacted to that report saying it will ensure the safety of foreign residents we may be why lodging that foreign citizens are being arbitrarily detained in china the us is calling white black and is trying to play the victim here it's trying to find excuses to justify its damage of chinese
4:16 pm
citizens legitimate rights and interests china's been ensuring the safety and interests of foreign citizens in china as long as they abide by chinese law and regulations they have nothing to worry about katrina who has more from beijing on those reported warnings from china. the seems to be quite a threatening message and intimidation in order to sort of warn the us and or for force them rather to stop persecuting chinese nationals in the us we know in the us has been quite a crackdown due to security concerns on chinese academics at least 5 have been arrested and charged for failing to acknowledge that connection to china's military we also know that about $1000.00 chinese academics in the u.s. have had their visas revoked also due to some security suspicions or concerns one of those academics who was detained was named tongue joined she took refuge earlier in the san francisco chinese consulate before being arrested and detained and now
4:17 pm
this whole fiasco involving these 5 chinese academics has been a huge point of embarrassment for china and as we've heard earlier from jolly jen that's what they're calling political persecution saying that the u.s. is crying victim for what they think has been a sort of fight started by the u.s. itself now what is interesting about what china's foreign ministry spokesperson said today he said he did not flat out deny that there would be a response or some richard boucher or impact on u.s. nationals here in china he didn't flat out deny that although he did say that foreign nationals in china are protected as long as they do follow the law it's been revealed the diplomats from china and taiwan got into a fight at a reception in fiji earlier this month taiwan's foreign ministry says an official suffered head injuries when staff tried to stop chinese embassy representatives
4:18 pm
from taking photos of guests celebrating taiwan's national day china which regards the island as a breakaway provinces the event was illegitimate it's. the u.n. secretary general is urging armenia and azerbaijan to respect a new cease fire both sides have accused each other of violating the agreement this is the 2nd sees foreign debt stopping fighting over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh the region is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but it's controlled by ethnic armenians we'll bring in rory chalons live from the armenian capital your of on in just a moment 1st joining us from fear in azerbaijan has the truce but holding her. well the truth was announced to start on saturday at midnight but the conflict hasn't started hasn't stopped one minute ever since so we could say that the ceasefire is yet to be started as
4:19 pm
a bridge any government has announced that it has retaken several villages and cities in south of the. karabakh region in one of these occupied areas. also announced that it has made ferd to push continuing its offensive in those occupied region south of the that border karabakh on cleaved towards the border with iran and has actually raised as the reflagged on historical bridge to who the fed bridge also as a by john says that armenia has been shelling several areas mainly the region where actually a cotton factory was set on fire and several buildings around that area so maybe there is a ceasefire on paper but on the ground the conflict continues what we haven't seen is actually. armenian shelling going further beyond those okie by regions
4:20 pm
into proper as the area territory with which had happened last week just 2 days ago being that enormous long range missile that hit and killed 13 people in ganja but no one here really is holding its breath that it will hold there is an announcement that has azerbaijan does say that is willing to swap bodies that is really the crux of that cease fire that cease fire is meant only to swap bodies and wounded soldiers as they are by gen has issued a statement yesterday saying it is willing to swap the bodies it has passed the details to the i.c.r.c. it hasn't mentioned anything about doing good soldiers but for the i.c.'s you really should start even doing that implementing that while there has to be a moment of calm long enough and that hasn't happened so far ok thank you for that update from azerbaijan let's bring in rich islands from armenia as captain you're of on what's the reaction from memory.
4:21 pm
well i think like what it was telling us just then from as a by john similarly in armenia there isn't much faith in this ceasefire at all but of course people here are blaming the azeris for that now we were filming earlier today at a school for a report. on al-jazeera and in a few hours' time now the school was closed but it was full anyway full of women and teenagers who were volunteering to stitch together. bits of camouflage material and knots them onto great big nets now these camouflaged nets would then going to be sent to the front lines to help the armenian. fights is that the armenian soldiers we were speaking to these these women unseen ages trying to get an idea of how they are feeling about the way things were going in this conflict and the sense there amongst these people is that
4:22 pm
it's not going very well for all media they've seen the videos of drones picking off groups of young soldiers they know that they're being territorial losses and they're aware that in some ways the military tables have turned in the last quarter of a century from the time when the conflict flared up at its most serious and in the 1990 s. that was when armenia was military militarily stronger now i know the the years aries with its sophisticated technology and its help from turkey is in a much stronger position than it used to be so they're aware things aren't going very well but they're still insisting that victory will be armenia's ok rory thank you for that update from your of on. u.s. politicians have called on the egyptian president of that fatah has sisi to release imprisoned activists and journalists 56 members of the u.s. congress wrote
4:23 pm
a letter urging sisi to free prisoners who were unjustly detained for exercising their fundamental human rights egypt's government has crackdown on dissent since 2013 when sisi led a military coup that overthrew the democratically elected president mohamed morsy. 0 journalist mahmoud her saying is one of those detained in an egyptian prison he's been held for nearly 1400 days without trial after he was arrested in 2016 while on a personal visit to see his family 0 is urging egyptian authorities to immediately released for sane and other detained journalists members of the european parliament have presented a letter calling for the top to talk to you officials to boycott next month's g 20 summit in saudi arabia. they passed a resolution last week to downgrade attendance there in a bid to avoid legitimizing saudi human rights abuses let's speak to mark talk
4:24 pm
about that he's a belgian politician and member of the european parliament he's joining us from brussels thanks very much for your time with us on al-jazeera tell us why you support this letter. yes a free support this letter or. other collets that we invite our colleagues to cosign and. chairwoman of the human rights support me to do you have a button rule to court call called ix we are at the 65 to write this letter to shall be shall share of the council and mrs on the lady and chair of the commission to don't bring the bill a geisha. who has intention to join the g. 20 summit in november so get it yes because of course we underlined all drawl of that we have to underline on the human rights topics and we had a resolution in the european parliament in this direction called to a large majority in ever seen before. 8 o'clock to over for that but we. will
4:25 pm
insist on the one of those paragraphs demand clearly who is the negation and what are you hoping that the impact of this will be on saudi arabia. i think that saudi arabia. the obvious should the government say that. it's said that they have to to improve and to to improve their image but in the reality we see that 'd we have some problems and for example 'd we mentioned in the this resolution the best situation of the migrant workers and by good citizen coming from eritrea in the camps but also mrs doolan some activists also member of the royal couple the prince of. jail
4:26 pm
but also the right. ringback of human activists human rights activists still in jail and journalists and i think that. we know that the subject of the plays a key role in the middle east and the relationship with the middle east as a reporter for europe and of course they have to show her owing the large opinion of the laboratory to them they have to show concrete act in this direction. and on the issue of prince out on a particular you yourself have tried to directly appeal to the crown prince mohammed bin sandman to release prince a man who's been detained since 2018. correct me if i'm wrong but i think you've gotten no response to that appeal. but not clear as a response to no i wrote the letter. is the mr ambassador or they know that they close but. no return from. dorothy's.
4:27 pm
to know and so that we have to go to you. it's also one of my role in the special specific delegation between big bite of the litigation you know the country old really put in and why shouldn't just that occasion and of course we mention all those topics when we have meetings and i think of course to know we don't. know what you say that the e.u. speaks in one voice when it comes to saudi arabia and particularly on this issue to downgrade the use attendance at next month's g 20 summit i know you're saying you're saying that a majority of parliamentarians that put their name to this particular bill but we've seen divisions within the e.u. when it comes to saudi arabia for example when it comes to the issue of an arms embargo some countries did go ahead with it and some countries in europe did not.
4:28 pm
of course sometimes we don't but in this case i have to underline that on this on this resolution in particular for example photographs related to the fact that don't don't read the delegation we have a 5560 vote in favor or a total of the $690.00 votes to agree that it's a large majority also member of the e.p. european people who are. left to do a negotiation but they vote in favor of the spot and they're staying at the end of the recession or course on some issue on the arms embargo we have some sensitivity from. because the arms of economic sector and i think that the reason the some are reluctant who who work in those kind of but in general the much majority paragraph of what all paragraph adopted was a lot. and the and also. the reason who should be or i think that the only
4:29 pm
a few colleagues from the extreme far right party of all the gays the revolution. for example fought abstention and all of the. liberal greens sort of the democratic. vote in favor ok so let me just finally ask you then. it sounds like you're trying to pile some pressure on saudi arabia but also you're trying to get the president of the european council on european commission president to not attend that summit that's supposed to be held next month in saudi arabia. do you think that is likely they will not attend. it was one of the actions proposed i think that it will be a recent no no we don't have. the lane because they received a letter or signed by 65 i mean these from several political groups quite all groups and they received is this a day that we don't know today the reaction of them but i think that it would be
4:30 pm
a strong signal to do to say to so you're not guilty should be a don't go to you in this way because we have problems. with into the our relationship if they don't improve the situation of human rights really in so yes. we thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera thanks for talking to us from brussels thank you let's get a check on the weather now with rob. and the floods continue in southeast asia as you are well aware there's a gap in the clades between vietnam and the philippines but it's back to be filled in the something developing just off the coast of luzon currently to extensive flooding from central to northern vietnam across cambodia and into thailand the death toll recently risen significantly from a landslide as you know we're into the 10s this is death toll so far which is i suppose a little more low side considering how extensive the flooding is i said it goes
4:31 pm
across to thailand in this particular bit of video you see the river that's been all the dams been allowed to overflow and then partly breached downstream so you got very extensive flooding in this eastern part of thailand as well so what of the future in the immediate future and choose it still raining in this part of thailand less so further west when there's there are big showers still in parts of thailand and meanwhile but maybe we should look to see what's happening just east of luzon is not yet been named as a tropical depression which is spinning up and it's in the china sea by wednesday given that it's done that it probably will be named and if it's going to follow the course of last year it heads towards vietnam and then beyond yet more flooding still ahead on al-jazeera thousands of indigenous colombians arrive in the capital seeking an end to drug violence in their territories on the who are going to have to play without one of their star defenders for the next few months peter will

thailand's prime minister now says rallies are permitted as long as they are peaceful thousands have been out on the streets of bangkok for a 6 day defying a ban on large gatherings they have been demanding his resignation. vote counting is underway in bolivia's presidential election an official early results from a bolivian t.v. channel suggest luis has won is the candidate is from the socialist party for the former president ever moralez who was forced out of office after a disputed vote last year let's bring into his a bow joining us from want to say the initial results show that luis our say is the winner what does his victory then mean for bolivia. well i mean this was a historic election a big test for bolivia's democracy after the tension that existed last year or last year's elections were suspended they ended with people on the streets demanding
4:35 pm
given what alice received nation what alice had to leave the country he ended up here in argentina on exile salissa lections were relatively peaceful in spite of the enormous polar ice ation that is this in the country. of the electro tribute i wanted to be extremely kerfuffle about the way the results were handled because of what happened in the past but we do know right now is that there is a 20 point difference in the unofficial resorts between reset a say and he's on a position to make such this results tell us that he's expected to be sworn in later this month when we know also see is an economist he would play a crucial role in the beginning of former president and what alice presidency he's known as the master of a mix that's always called it was a part of national ice ations of the industry control of the state of sudden sectors of the economy economic growth among other things he's also a man that's
4:36 pm
a resigned mostly because he was suffering from cancer he distance himself from where al is after that and during the campaign he tried to get away one of the things he was opposing from what i was was he's attempts to get reelected once again he's if he's confirmed as president of what do you view it is in a way it bring stability to a very polarized country that's been filled with violence in this past month he also brings his knowledge. in economics and the way of handling bolivia's economy in a very tense situation as the country struggling with a pandemic with economic deterioration among other things and the most important thing of all is he brings certainty to what livia's majority indigenous communities keep bring certainty that they would lose many of the privileges. he won when it when what atlas was became but libya's 1st indigenous president so there is clearly every morale this is a marriage looms large over this particular election can we expect him to have a role in the future government it's. well it's
4:37 pm
interesting to look at what alice has been doing he's here in one side is as i said before he's presented 2 press conferences where he said that the main priority right now is to restyle british democracy and believe yeah that's the 1st role he has it's interesting what's been happening with what alice i mean as i said before his image is very significant for believe me he became bolivia's 1st in judge indigenous president he empowered indigenous majorities he lifted millions out of poverty he gave them benefits that they never saw before so he definitely plays an important role what happened with him is that many that follow his party the movement towards socialism party became disenchanted when he tried to get himself reelected once again and that's why in a way many did not vote for him last year but what we're seeing with the results today is that those who did not for him did not vote for him in the past and
4:38 pm
definitely vaulted for his party in this election mostly because of the meaning that this has a party that most of represents but live yes indigenous communities what we know is that it is likely to be sworn in the later this month or early in november and more or less for what we have heard is expected to be there. is a thank you very much for that update from one of. now aboriginal workers are suing the western australian government for compensation for decades of unpaid wages so until the 1970 s. aboriginal people working on cattle stations across australia either weren't paid at all or had their wages legally held back by their employer as lawyers say up to 10000 workers or their descendants are eligible for compensation that's a suggested john flay who's a lecturer in aboriginal studies at aid of cowen university he's joining us from the australian city of perth we thank you for your time with us on al-jazeera can
4:39 pm
you 1st explain a little bit more about stolen wages and how widespread that practice was absolutely 1st of all the absolute strain that is placed on generations not just the people who had their wages stolen but also every generation that has been damaged by the intergenerational trauma it is a huge issue in western australia and it has affected other places in australia as well so we have this intergenerational trauma caused by stolen wages and the control over aboriginal peoples lives that should be a sovereign self identify control yet so you say that the damage that the soul and wages has done to aboriginal australians is immense but but the issues go much deeper what sort of fish use. absolutely the problem with the control in the
4:40 pm
communities is there is a lack of consultation with elders primarily and also aboriginal stakeholders and holders of political economy in those regions. the owner of statement for example has been something that has been put forward by aboriginal people nationwide to tackle that and it proposes a constitutional change at a commonwealth level by providing an aboriginal voice to palm and. they sorts of things generational changes that need to occur in order to make progress for future generations so you have people suing for money at this stage but there is a much broader political dialogue to be had about aboriginal sovereignty in australia. well let me ask you about this this particular a compensation issue i mean sadly a lot of the victims have passed on so do you believe that if a settlement is agreed upon then justice will be served i think that will be
4:41 pm
a small victory but again justice has its place and there is a lot more work that needs to be done a lot of work has been done by incredible people in aboriginal communities already this would be a small victory and it points toward a greater victory yet to come what kind of conversations need to be had going forward i think giving greater control in the regions to aboriginal people is a better way of compensating for the damage that had been done in the pos so you have the financial the capital. instrument but you also must have a deeper level of a better social contract of engagement with aboriginal people in communities and it's more about a shift of power to aboriginal people and aboriginal sovereignty than a simple financial shift all right said jess and john flay we thank you for speaking to us from perth thank you. indigenous protesters in
4:42 pm
