times with security forces allegedly firing at them and in another part of the city a large fire burning through a government bus station. videos are emerging of man in uniform opening fire on killing people in lagos on tuesday but security forces deny involvement let's get an update from my didn't see joining us from a boozer nigeria's president has appealed for calm and understanding as to what are you hearing about how his words are being received. i think very in the most the protesters asking for is for the president to address the nation this same demand was echoed by the president of the senate yesterday or been that that could come situation down however what we're seeing in lagos is reflected in other parts of the country although on a much slower know what scale lagos has been the epicenter of these protests

and so far the protesters saying they haven't heard from the president and that is no indication that the government is going to meet all their demands but what are their demands that demands it's to disband has been done but few days after the police came up with another organization course what they want justice for victims of these police brutality over the past 10 years that hasn't been done yet although the police said they are debriefing officers of the former unit and are conducting investigations but they need to set up bottles to investigate this protest on this and on the other hand want immediate prosecution they want compensation which has not been paid people are demanding that victims and their families be compensated this much was said by the speaker of the lower chambers of parliament yesterday saying that he will not sign on to the budget unless

compensation is put inside the 23 to one budget now what we are seeing in lagos today is a cumulative cumulative effect. of all these years of police brutality and government in action to deal with that the government has promised to disband all the foam sauce but it has failed to do so on 3 occasions until just a week or 2 ago now what we're seeing in lagos today. this morning is of course i do result in effect of exactly what happened yesterday there are problems with the statistics government is saying that government officials in lagos are saying that no one died but protesters are insisting that dozens of been killed in yesterday's incident. just hours after curfew came into effect the security forces started moving. at the lake he told gate in lagos several different witnesses recorded footage of what appeared

to be security personnel shooting at protesters who are 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 has their demands among others include far reaching reforms of the police and the prosecution of officers accused of extrajudicial killings torture and disappearances not guys going through things we have been protest into have not had any reasonable results so we want. to come and address it not by me but you know. i'm really listening to. was done. every day so yeah yeah i go you know why didn't they do it and i said well you know i believe these well i'm going to do. and

lawmakers are lining up behind some of the protesters demands i will not sign off. on the 2021 budget that does not include. to compensate those who have suffered by the lives. of other council the police in nigeria in the last decade which means the country's 2021 budget could be delayed. on monday in protest as blockaded move to the mohamad international airport lagos nigeria is busiest. the same day these images appeared of prisoners among them violent criminals escaping went to prison. or tight. the prison authorities say nearly 2000 prisoners have escaped being is the looting of the armory in the correction facility. nearly 2 dozen cause destroyed already states have started enforcing 24 hour confused among them the financial capital lagos which is also home to the country's busiest ports. this

could mean more trouble coming in already in a poor shape. 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 keep the protesters. so in a high despite that 24 hour curfew being in place in lagos are expecting protesters to be coming out today as well. exactly and this is exactly what we see on the streets from that you make yes we're seeing on online and from what we're hearing from australia's and other colleagues in the field in lagos protesters are still out on the streets in one area of lagos state for example it's not the protest but of course criminals taking part unity of the sad events unfolding there to new property we heard about properties being damaged in. yesterday's most violent incident took place and we also see incidents across town in able to matter where you just saw 30 buses. by the lagos state government

to be set on fire we've also heard about residents of. government officials or their relations being set on fire by arsonists in lagos so we expect to see more of these before things gradually come down in lagos in other parts of nigeria we expect protesters certain areas to come out where the law or the governors have not imposed curfew so far it would have been quite so far but you never can tell it's possible that we may see demonstrators back on the streets of all this big bang on the street by going to the structures on the streets since last week however the protesters say nor in that ok i did that is thank you very much for that update from. at least $25.00 afghan security forces personnel have been killed and another 5 wounded in attacks by the taliban that's according to the afghan government $115.00 taliban fighters were also killed in the northern province of takar the

taliban has intensified attacks in the last few weeks as peace talks with the afghan government are being held in doha. please 12 women have been killed in a stampede in afghanistan they've gathered with thousands of others in a stadium in jalalabad to apply for visas to pakistan the pakistani consulate started issuing visas again last week after a 7 month pause because of the coronavirus let's discuss all things afghanistan with contra freedoms joining us from kabul 1st on the attack that took place in tucker province what more have you learned about it. well you know during despite repeated calls for a reduction in violence here in afghanistan or even a cease fire fighting between often security forces and the taliban continues unabated across the country according to the afghan ministry of defense like you mention $115.00 taliban have been killed in the last 24 hours alone while dozens

more have been injured and according to the ministry of defense it was all in defensive operations as the taliban kept attacking afghan positions in 26 provinces now regarding then sit and talk har a spokesman of the government's office said that more than 25 afghan security forces were killed and more were injured when their positions where attacked by the taliban last night and we're getting word that the clashes and the fighting continues so this is a war that has been claiming lives on all on both sides and it is a war that seems to be getting deadlier every day doraine were prone to be stampedes that happened in that stadium in jalalabad. well of this dump it happened outside

a stadium where afghans hundreds of outcomes normally gather to collect tokens so then they can apply for a visa the pakistan consulate to travel to pakistan locals told does that what happened was there yesterday on social media there were rumors that started going swirling around that today the consulate would issue more. than usual and that's what prompted more than $3000.00 afghans to gather outside that stadium so when they tried to get in to start the process they started rushing in and that's when the deadly stampede happened now we have to say that pakistan is only one of a handful of countries where afghans kim get a visa and travel to and a lot of them have to travel to pakistan because of medical conditions because their health care system here in afghanistan is very weak and fragile and that's why there were a lot of elderly people of all the victims during the morning stumpy a lot of them very desperate to get the very important visa for them to return to

al-jazeera. pakistan says its coronavirus death rate has increased by a 140 percent over the past week that's prompted fears of a 2nd wave as winter approaches the public is being warned not to ignore safety measures pakistan has recorded more than 320000 infections with at least 6600 deaths reports from islamabad. although pakistan has won trade from the international community for the way and richard handled a pandemic there are allowing signs that the 2nd wave court now threatened pakistan's progress and accomplishments against corporate 19th and damning the government of course has warned that there has been a 140 percent increase in the number of mortality rate from this particular pandemic and also there is a warning from the pakistani prime minister that the situation could get worse if

people do not follow dxo pay. the government also finds itself between a rock and a hard place on the one hand every day for days lock downs that threatens livelihoods and can cause other problems as well our businesses are already facing the impact of the government lock down the people won't follow the social distancing rules i'm worried there will be a new spike and the government will again impose a lockdown which this time will ruin our businesses we have also been talking to the medical community as to why it has led to this alarming rise in the mortality rate when it comes to coverage 19 it has come to both me and the public side a little moment for the passage of spend in the idea and freedom of the people that has decreased and then stop following the listen and in the same time people are being eased from the government side as well and they're not following those s.o.b.'s and implementing it on the general public so definitely that have leasing cli's in that modality and at the same bank even if it's just a rate of spending but at the same time the opposition really acute the government

of undermining their protests the doctors and the medical community of course have been warning against all large gatherings where that it is the operation of the ruling government party advising against aids but saying that pakistan did well against it and they make because it has a young population unlike your show the main question right now is what happens within the next few weeks there are clear warnings that depend i make could once again rear its head and i would 2nd and more deadly waves. cathay pacific is cutting nearly a quarter off its workforce nearly 6000 employees will lose their jobs mostly in hong kong where the airline is based the company will also close down its regional airline carriers incomes have been decimated by travel bans order closures because of coronavirus cathay isn't the only airline making cuts american and united

airlines made 32000 redundancies after u.s. government aid ended earlier this month that's on top of the 50000 callie's taking voluntary retirements since the pandemic started lifton's and germany announced it's cutting $22000.00 full time jobs and europe's leading low cost carrier ryanair warned of more job losses after slashing its winter schedule by 30 percent the international air transport association is forecasting losses of more than $80000000000.00 and the worst year on record for airlines to brendan so he's the founder of so be aviation that's an airline consulting and alice's firm he's joining us from singapore thanks very much for your time with us on al-jazeera so on top of cathay pacific cutting its workforce it's also announcing that cathay dragon will seize operations that's its regional arm and we've already seen. the u.k.'s fly b. as well as australia virgin air go into administration so are we in

a position where we're going to see many more airlines going into administration. i mean there just like that we have fewer more waves of airline bankruptcies over the 'd last next year or even 2 or 3 years because this is a very long process it's going to take probably 1020 $24.00 and so the market probably the covers and the airlines you know they have a lot of support from the government especially in this initial 7 months which pointed out more bankruptcies so yeah i'm getting really a relatively small manageable number of accuracy so far but that's important to fire not necessarily be renewed in every case there will be more bankruptcies in the years ahead and i think will be a manageable number in this race working together to try to one or 2 to overcome this crisis and that means to go shipping contracts rescheduling aircraft and it varies and so forth and everybody's in it together so they you know most of these airlines will survive in some shape or form yeah that's

a thing i mean with your right to say that governments have been helping out the airlines and we did indeed see bailouts on the behalf of many governments right around the world but. more restructuring it is what's needed at this point like the roots cathay pacific as it is going down. yeah i mean a lot of airlines have jobs already and but of them have cut by 20 to 30 percent which is what kept us announced today. unfortunately you have a bill that virtually all of i'm stuck at jobs because there's this downturn against long it's can't just expect to have full staffing for 3 or 4 years just waiting for the recovery for that long so you have to basically cut your costs and that job cuts and it's one of the last or last to cut jobs that there's been so many already and if you're probably still to come in then potentially 2nd not job

cuts in some cases as well and. of course people if people are to fly between countries that they must feel safe right so 'd they say this is guidance up until now is it to avoid traveling as much as possible i mean what do you know about where consumer sentiment is right now and passengers willingness to fly. well i think you know it's not only that when the is to fly it's a let me just to travel so it's the entire spectrum from never going to join from the airport to hop in a taxi or public transportation to go through the airports or going into a hotel after their chocolate self is you know quite safe it's safer than most other modes of transport studies are showing that you know people have to be willing to chop generally and there's some domestic travel now in most countries where there's gay men and i think the next step is to travel between countries where they are contained in cities like chicago announced by hong kong and singapore a few days ago as an example i'm going singapore don't have

a domestic market so we're going to link themselves up because they're at a point with their containment efforts and each other and there's lots of testing regimes that could be in place to help mitigate the risk so going forward i think we'll see some international resumption of these kinds of programs and chop the buckles but it's going to be very small compared to what we had prior to the crisis so it's really going to take a vaccination and and the end of this endemic to really restore shop tired of the nobody knows exactly when that will. be thank you thanks very much for speaking to us from singapore thank you let's go to talk on the weather now live with rob. and we should continue the story in southeast asia her moment most the clouds over the south china seas a little over vietnam cambodia thailand you know the position on the ground there was did extensive flooding death toll still rising evacuations now taking place in vietnam ahead of a tropical storm likely by the end of the weekend that vietnam was extensively

studied more or less in the middle northwards up almost up to the capital the same is also true further west finally got pictures out of cambodia doesn't look as bad here this is in the sort of northwestern cambodia but it's extensive flooding once more the cost of funds don't respect any borders it goes across into thailand as well we're getting extensive need to side depth study is still the case we don't really want to top it up that we have a choice about it although it's seas no rain has been topped up but at least 3 tropical storms so far and here's the latest salvo it went over luzon causing extensive flooding again and again evacuations has got a forecast track now it's not certain but most the models take it roughly speaking westwood's it will of course throw a certain amount of its influence northwards hong kong for example have big swell in the bay however we're going to watch for it finally goes just towards the vietnamese coast probably by the end of the weekend. still ahead on the al-jazeera

a tense he reports the 7 count civil complaint is being filed in washington d.c. against saudi crown prince mohammed bin soma i'm 28 other saudi nationals it alleges that the defendants formulated a conspiracy to lure journalist jamal khashoggi from the us and then kidnapped drugged torture and dismembered him at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october of 2018. being so long lord. i want the truth. be no please don't sponsible but do you want to hold truth. and if you want accountability the lawsuit has 2 primary goals to have a u.s. court make a determination that muhammad been soma is directly responsible for the show g.'s 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 lead the documents and

recordings that are pertinent to this case because soldiers widows is the ultimate goal is to provoke the crown prince's accession to the through no one behind if last gruesome murder sure have any role. becoming. the no is ordering. the case has been declared closed in saudi arabia following the conviction of 8 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 she ever times the al-jazeera voters in chile are expected to say yes to a new constitution a referendum on sunday is deciding whether or not to scrap the unpopular current constitution drafted during the military dictatorship decades ago many are hoping for a new start to help and the year long political crisis here's our latin america editor

the c.n.n. . a constitution is regarded as the nation's most revered document. until a society no longer respects it. hence next sunday's referendum in chile to as citizens to approve the drafting of a new magna carta. in the old days a military coup was often the most common way of settling an institutional crisis but in the last 20 years many latin american african and european countries have chosen instead to rewrite their constitutions. and the common denominator is that they were born out of the profound crisis. of the constitutions government are continue their period of arbitrary carrying government have been tremendously interesting because they have incorporated democratic elements didn't exist and that reflected popular demands in the main but it doesn't necessarily have to be

a traumatic event says mrs payne yeah. amid a social and economic crisis iceland decided to form a constitutional assembly in 2010 it's considered the most modern example of citizens participation in resetting the country's fundamental road map for the future. globalization and technological advances have shed light on issues and needs that were not considered by societies in the past. the us constitution 2nd amendment for example giving citizens the right to bear arms was conceived to allow americans to fight back against a tyrannical federal government a far cry from its current implementation constitutional experts say that the healthiest way for a country to ensure that its fundamental social contract is up to date is to submit it to periodical revisions as does germany among others it's

a way of recognizing that society is telling and that no. nothing is written in stone. will be articulate way of us i don't have wanted to see on the worst thing that can happen is the text of the constitution does not reflect the will of the people the constitution needs to be respected because people believe in it the more often it's revised the less dramatic the better. the majority of chileans have lost respect for a constitution that was conceived and written under a dictatorship 20 years ago perhaps the biggest danger now is the expectation that a new one and have the ability to solve the immediate and social economic needs of the present. you see in human al-jazeera chante mallard it's been revealed that the u.s. government can't find the parents of hundreds of migrant children in its custody court documents on the u.s. human rights groups say 545 children were separated from their parents who were

detained by u.s. border guards most parents are believed to have been deported as part of president donald trump 0 tolerance policy towards illegal migration. the internet giant google says legal action launched by the u.s. government is deeply flawed justice department lawyers say google abuses its market dominance in online searches on advertising by stifling competition and is accuse the paying billions of dollars to phone manufacturers to ensure it's the default search engine for browsers the company says it's popular because users wants a google it's not because they're forced to larry magid is the c.e.o. and co-founder of connect safely dot org that's a nonprofit organization focusing on online privacy and security he believes google will put up 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 a very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress

saying you know some other company could come along and unfit 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 conner argument will be made that that google controlled the entire android platform it dominate search and 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 has 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 to suit. spain is nearing a 1000000 coronavirus infections with france close behind governments across europe have been reimposing restrictions as they struggle with the 2nd wave manchester and northern england is among those facing no rules after a political fight that didn't bother reports after 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 locked 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
