believe he told gate in lagos several different witnesses recorded footage of what appeared to be security personnel shooting at protesters who were blocking a major highway a number of people want to put it killed. it began as peaceful protest to demand an end to police brutality. and for 2 weeks the government struggled but failed to come protest as their demands among others include far reaching reforms of the police on the prosecution of officers accused of extrajudicial killings torture and disappearances not care is going through things we have been protests in we have not had any reasonable results which is what we want out why are we to come and address it not by me but you know it's all user conduct networking and why not really listening to weigh ins does what is going to. be occurring every day so that the guy yeah yeah i voice i don't buy that i don't want to and i say it's wrong well yes i believe these well i've been going through yet. and said you know

make us are lining up behind some of the protests demands i will not sign off. on the 2021 budget that the north does not include adequate full visions to compensate those who have suffered violence i'm fertile it's the other hands of the police in nigeria in the last decade which means the country's 2021 budget could be delayed. on monday protestors blockaded more to the international airport lagos nigeria is busiest. 6 the same day these images appeared of prisoners among them violent criminals escaping went to prison. or time. the prison authorities say nearly 2000 prisoners have escaped more warring is the looting of the armory in the correction facility here and nearly 2 dozen cause destroyed already states have started enforcing $24.00 confused among them the financial capital lagos which is

also home to the country's busiest ports. this could mean more trouble. already in a portion. the president of the senate has asked the president to address the nation to calm the situation but it's not clear if that will be enough to placate the protesters. which. is my lama special assistant to nigeria's president mahmoud abbas. a government will offer solutions to the protesters grievances. if you take of the holistic look at all the demands that were just made lolly demands you know i didn't you know very articulate at the manse there sounded nice to be done and i think government and its own party when our own party we need to show more commitment to to to do with this issues those that are used to be dealt with in the direction of a judicial utterance of inquiries across all the states i think substance of that isn't the mark this article solution of. the constitutional powers of state

governments to do that and i think often sit on legal status that estates are not built and the members of those panels need to be mentioned young people need be not need to be part of those panels. and then as we move on the enemies to be offices in the police force or 'd in this case of what happened tonight we truly you know the army i involved the army people should be you know brought out mean and the prosecution process would have to begin and all the. that new government in fact the government would have to implement that commitment to be able to meet in the doz for medium term a long jump there's a process event and we should be given the public weekly or monthly updates on what's going on and we should have a committee set up for monitoring and evaluation to make sure that all the promises that government has made can be followed through and can be seen to be implemented as time goes on if you can say

a sane saudi journalist to my shoji selling the crown prince of saudi arabia the lawsuit accuses mohammed bin salman or ordering his killing sheraton's the reports . the 7 count civil complaint is being filed in washington d.c. against saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon and 28 other saudi nationals it alleges that the defendants formulated a conspiracy to murder. 3 from the us and then kidnapped drugged torture and dismembered him at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october of 2018. 1 made being found one more don't he i want the truth he be no please don't sponsor among the budget we want to hold true if any of you want accountability the lawsuit has 2 primary goals to have a u.s. court make a determination that muhammad been salma is directly responsible for khashoggi is

murder and finally to reveal what intelligence governments around the world possess about the plot you absolutely want to get this country 1st and foremost not only from saudi arabia but also from the united states who leave their documents and recordings that are pertinent to this case because she agrees with those as the ultimate goal is to prevent the crown prince's accession to the throne no one behind if lost there is an order shoot have any role in becoming more not like robert when someone denies ordering. the case has been declared closed in saudi arabia following the conviction of 8 unnamed defendants in september legal experts suggest that the civil suit may face complications in the u.s. especially as long as the accused remain outside the country however at the very least it may make the crown prince reluctant to travel to the united states for now he ever fancy al-jazeera. well let's speak some more about this so sarah leah

whitson who is the executive director of democracy for the arab world is now it's a human rights group that jamal khashoggi founded and that has jointly filed the lawsuit against the saudi crown prince in the u.s. his joining us via skype from new york city thank you so much for being with us miss waits and tell us 1st about what the focus of this lawsuit is and what you're hoping it will bring about. the focus of this lawsuit it is the civil damages against muhammad bin so and use coconspirator who are who are the murderer. who was the founder and 1st executive director of our organization as well as he should join the generals know we seek damages under the aliens will cleanse our torture victims section act as well as for tortious interference which amounts contract to dawn what we hope to accomplish is

a measure of justice and a measure countability and a verdict that will clearly hold muhammad in some manner and his coconspirators liable for this murder well based on the evidence that you all know and understand you're not just pursuing the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammad been salman but 20 others for unspecified damages is suing foreign leaders in a federal court in the us is a very difficult task to mess with and while why file this lawsuit in the u.s. why not turkey where the crime was committed. we believe that united states federal district court is the best venue where we can obtain and the best justice and accountability we are a u.s. based organization to mount was a resident of the united states living in united states while working for a u.s. organization and was lowered from the united states on false pretenses to travel to turkey to obtain our documents so much of the crime and certainly those impacted by

the crime or times not states right but present as you know hasn't made it a secret that american interests in selling arms to saudi arabia takes precedence over confronting saudi arabia back to moscow it is killing there's a lot at stake for the u.s. are you really confident that the u.s. justice system under a trump administration can actually achieve justice but absolutely we are hopeful because so far the judiciary remains an int that body in our country and not subject to trump tsunami ins and those sorts of measures you might see. there's been a trial in saudi arabia a number of people were convicted some of them have had their convictions squashed why you know why why do you think that is not enough obviously a lot of people think that is not enough do you think the saudis will respond in

what way to this lawsuit. the trial that took place in saudi arabia against some low level salary officials implicated in the crime was as concluded by the un special rapporteur were on executional executions a sham the saudi government tried to lay on some low level officials for this crime without holding or even indicting the main culprits the architects of the mohammed bin so man solihull god only and general assyrian this is why the saudi trial and force is inadequate and of course was an unfair trial. and so how do you think the saudis will react to this. well i don't know i'm waiting for the saudis to activists and i think that's a question best asked to them all right thank you so much for speaking to us are you it's an executive director of the democracy for the arab world organization which jamal khashoggi founded joining us f m e

o thank you very much for your time. as being described as the most aggressive u.s. legal challenge against a tech company in decades the justice department has filed a lawsuit against google it accuses a firm of using its market power to keep a monopoly over search engines and advertising the complaint says google pays billions of dollars to phone manufacturers and browses to keep it as their default search engine the company says the suit is deeply for art law image it is c.e.o. and co-founder of connect safely dot org a nonprofit organization focusing on online privacy and security has been a school what will stage a strong defense i think one argument that they might make is to go back to 2000 i'm sorry go back in 1998 when microsoft was on the hot seat for very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress saying you know some other company could come along and unseat us and indeed that very year

a to graduate students from stanford were in a garage here in palo alto building google which actually did overshadow microsoft when it came to the internet so i suspect that's the argument they'll make and i suspect the counter argument will be made that that google controls the entire android platform it dominate search and that it promotes its own products and it makes it difficult for other companies to compete either with search or with internet advertising there's a lot of both a legal and a political war going on between washington silicon valley but this is a very specific lawsuit issued by the justice department claiming google is exercising monopoly power over search and over internet advertising so there's probably by far part of some support for this battle i mean the trump administration is hence their gripes against google but so do democrats so i suspect this will be vigorously prosecuted and even if joe biden were to win the election i wouldn't be surprised if his justice department continued the suit.

still ahead on al-jazeera a show of solidarity protesters in thailand get em on i push for change. and probably for me it will be trouble. and household splits as u.s. presidential contenders take the fight for the white house to the suburbs. had i was a nice quiet time there a moment struck china the korean peninsula and japan the might look like a little cloud around to you but this is a seasonal rowing going offshore and this is in coming winter a long way north now it will develop and write on it but the immediate future unless you're in the northeast of china the korean peninsula the west of japan enjoy a bit of quiet sunshine without much of a breeze just go

a long way west to find the rain for example in you not in china but whomping shows how close winter is we drop from 16 to 6 between wednesday and thursday as high temperatures and there is rain heading into western japan by that time but the real weather isn't. immediately in the philippines trussing news on that's tropical cycle and causing a lot of potential damage in a matter of razor fresh working nonstop and not the amount of wind storm itself will build up to become a proper tropical storm in the south china sea on wednesday and thursday and head towards the vietnamese coast south of all that there are some pretty big showers around for parts of thailand some cambodia and some vietnam and malaysia and indonesia a good scattering a big thunderstorm but because of this i suspect if you're in java those shows are pretty well spaced. but. i didn't know that corruption has reached

a level like never happened before in our country. like outsider. to president of the united states. the power was in the data we will honor the american people with the truth and nothing else discovered. for winning the white house unfair game on al jazeera. the evening. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha a reminder of our top stories this hour there are reports nigerian security forces

protracted negotiations and recriminations almost 3000000 more people in england are set to come under the highest level of restrictions given the public health situation i must now proceed with moving greater manchester as i say to the very high level because not to act would put manchester's n.h.s. and the lives of many of manchester's residents at risk regional mayor andy burnham insists johnson's government walked away from talks even after local leaders compromised on the financial support package they'd accept the people whose workplace is shut down you are asking people to do a big thing and you can't do that without fully supporting them through that and doing it on the cheap but that is what it seems to me they were trying to do the whatever it takes moment early this year has completely gone it's you'll get what we'll give you and that is an acceptable in the middle of a national crisis like a pandemic. the u.k. is clearly in dangerous territory it's just recorded more than 21000 new cases the

highest daily figure so far and the devolved government in wales is bringing in a so-called fire break lock down on friday for 17 days the u.k. is also planning to carry out human challenge studies in trials that could start in january up to 90 healthy people will be exposed to cover 19 the aim is to speed up the arrival of a vaccine in italy the government's ruling out a national lockdown despite new cases reaching a new record at the weekend but the southern campania region plans to introduce a nighttime curfew from the coming weekend following a similar decision by the northern region of lombardy which was hardest hit by the initial outbreak. prime minister gers epic content was hosting his spanish counterpart pedro sanchez in rome on tuesday sanchez is still considering imposing a curfew on the spanish capital madrid and possibly beyond its 10 most and this man askew in a sea of who we have very tough weeks ahead and winter is coming the 2nd wave is no

longer a threat it's a reality in all of europe. russia has now seen a daily record of more than 16000 new cases of the covert 19 death toll has risen to almost 25000 in moscow they've already opened temporary hospitals and introduce measures such as taking 2nd reschooling teaching with. the city's mayor says there's no need for tougher restrictions but as the whole of europe is finding out situations can change fast with the al-jazeera. brazil says it will include china's sign over vaccine in its national immunization program this comes as one of the country's leading biomedical research centers said the vaccine was safe after carrying out face 3 tests the toodles vaccine called corona vaca is being used in a trial involving 9000 volunteers the national vaccination could begin next january . researchers and can a clean clinicians working on various coronavirus vaccines have banded together

together as hash tag team halo working to build confidence in vaccine development dr ana blakeney is a bio engineer working on covert vaccine development at imperial college london she is also a member of the team halo and she says it's important to keep the public informed about vaccine developments. a really great opportunity for us to be able to have a direct pipeline to the public and be able to discuss it and you know outcomes of the trial whatever they maybe we just launched today so i've been making pick talk radio for about 2 weeks but yeah even today i've gotten some really great questions about herd immunity and mutations in the virus so it's really turning into quite a conversation between me and the people that follow us on tick tock something that's really important to us is having really high stringent testing of the back seeing so in the u.k. there's really rigorous clinical trials that we have to go through to be able to

license a vaccine so whereas hearing to that protocol and you know i can only really speak from our experience in the u.k. but we do through that go through a number of safety and efficacy testing measures to make sure that it's you know a good enough vaccine to distribute to the public. thailand's prime minister will hold a special session in parliament next week as protesters continue calls for him to quit thousands have rallied for 60 days in bangkok and the movement is finding support in hong kong dubbed the milk tea alliance activists in both places see parallels in each other struggles and nice you reports oh. the emotional scenes outside a prison in bangkok as 19 and he government protesters are freed on bail. they were arrested last week when police fired water cannon to disperse large crowds defying a ban on public gatherings 3 protest leaders were also released but 2 were

immediately rearrested relating to another rally last month their free colleague is vowing to carry on. we didn't feel deterred by the arrests we know that this is part of the fight and the government is trying to shut our mouths but that's ok because while we were in prison we were so happy that the protests kept on going protests against prime minister for you know child began earlier this year but they escalated last week after 2 activists were charged with attempting violence against highlands queen they face a life sentence if convicted as well as constitutional changes demonstrators are breaking along taboo subject in thailand by demanding reforms to the monarchy sympathizers elsewhere have been showing solidarity with the time movement including pro-democracy activist joshua want from hong kong crackdown by the suppression is not the way out is the time to and the russian empire and the push forward democratic reform oh many have compared thailand with hong kong with young

protesters taking a stand against what they see as oppressive governments it's been dubbed the milk tea alliance because of the shared love of the drink they're also exchanging protest tactics such as arming them. selves with umbrellas and helmets against police and right here using hand gestures to coordinate large crowds and with a similar salute the system it's a d c a lot of parallels between the 2 struggles bosses are essentially struggles for a representative democracy and both movements are also displayed movements so. a shared identity there between the young could cancer's prime minister is recalling parliament for a special session next week in response to the growing protests the government's threatened to block access to the popular messenger app telegram and a suspended and online channel for what's described as spreading false information

. but with more rallies planned this week the thai protesters are emphasizing their point. saying they're not going anywhere. and they soon out just. 2 weeks to go now before the u.s. election then black lies matter protests and the accompanying violence and property damage could have an impact on suburban voters in the upcoming vote they were key to donald trump's victory in 2016 helping him take 3 key states and he came close to winning minnesota from where john hendrick reports all of the suburbs were rolling lawns lead to expensive homes where scenic views meet shops quaint and common close to culture far enough from squalor idyllic havens of safety and middle

income splendor but don't let the leafy tranquility fool you divisions here run deep these are the battlegrounds where the u.s. election will be decided. in suburban minnesota a short commute from minneapolis george floyd's death under a police officer's need led to raucous protests that divided a nation in many households. and probably for me it would be trying i like the idea of a republican socialism and that seems to be the direction of the democrats and i think character is an important quality and. i think also we need someone who can unify and not divide it why president donald trump seeks to instill fear into the suburban heart if you elected this guy the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and crime and why joe biden is striking back how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires how many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out how

many suburbs will have been blown away. super storms. here one voter's crisis of law and order is another's calamity of social injustice and i have 100 percent support for the protesters and i've been doing my best to stay as active and be as involved as i can with it when trump won the suburbs in 2016 he won the election the math of midwestern battleground states is pretty simple the cities lean heavily toward democrats the rural areas lean heavily toward republicans most of these states will be decided in the suburbs the battlegrounds within the battleground states in pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin trump won the suburbs and narrowly won those states he won the suburbs here outside minneapolis to narrowly lost this state but there are signs of trouble for trump here white women friends and college educated women. in many ways so

a lot of the suburbs. overall they are moving away at least. here in the land of 10000 lakes trump is now lagging biden in the polls but trump supporters note he also leg hillary clinton in minnesota in 2016 before nearly pulling off an upset victory john hendren al-jazeera was out of minnesota. nasa scientists have pulled off a delicate maneuver non-doing a space probe onto a moving asteroid 329000000 kilometers away from may it's only the 2nd time it's been down a probe briefly touched down on the surface of the benefit asteroids with a goal of scooping up a few handfuls off as attendees havel's one from the surface mike wise a senior writer with space dot com he says a mission could help understand how life began on. it's a pretty amazing technological feat and all of this was done by this probe by

itself you know it's too it's it's far too far away to be controlled and sort of real time by it's in those here on earth so it it basically did this all by itself out there of judging whether it was safe to go down and then it was it was more like a kiss than like a landing at basically it has this this like sampling head on the end of a long robotic arm and it just came down and pushed that against the asteroid rubble and then touched it for about 10 seconds and then sort of back slowly away from the asteroid so it's pretty pretty amazing one of the big goals just basically i mean if the like these sorts of asteroids are sort of left over just just like building blocks from the big chunks that that belong together to actually make earth and the other planets long ago so if you study what they're made of like really precisely you can kind of learn a lot about what what the early solar system looked like how the planets came together and so on but that as i just just kind of mentioning that there are a lot of scientists who think that that getting pummeled by lots of asteroids like these 2 long ago actually brought a lot of water to worth and

a lot of liquor get molecules that help life get going here on earth so yeah actually looking to see what these asteroids are made of and and like how many a sort of like are going to compensate on their surface couldn't form that study. the a. play again i'm fully back to bore you with the headlines on al-jazeera a very poor set nigerian security forces have shot dead protesters in lagos it's one of several cities where a curfew is in place after days of demonstrations against police brutality and violence. the fiance of murdered saudi journalist jamal is suing the crown prince of saudi arabia a civil lawsuit was filed in the u.s. his says mom had been solemn and ordered skilling. of the united states go. and. did was just his.
