we have identified that 2 foreign actors iran and russia have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our elections just days before the us presidential election the f.b.i. says that russia and iran are trying to sway the vote. i'm a very emphatic and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up thailand's government lifts emergency measures which lastly failed to stifle mass protests in bangkok.

spain and france to pass a 1000000 recorded corona virus infections prompting talk of even tougher restrictions. but after their 1st chaotic match the look ahead to the final presidential debate between donald trump and joe by. the f.b.i. is accusing both iran and russia of trying to interfere with the u.s. election less than 2 weeks away now it says that both countries have obtained data on voter registration iran is accused of sending fake e-mails to voters to intimidate mike hanna reports from washington. these are members of a far right wing group calling itself the proud boy according to the f.b.i. iranian agents are planting e-mails to democratic party voters supporting to come from the proud boys with the intention of creating social unrest today we have

already seen in. iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters incite social unrest and damage president trump repeatedly recently when asked to condemn the proud boys president trump instead asked them to stand back and stand by both the director of national intelligence and the f.b.i. head i've been accused of attempting to downplay russian interference allegedly in accordance with the president's wishes but russia was also named 1st we have confirmed that some voter registration information has been obtained by iran and separately by russia this data can be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope will cause confusion so chaos and undermine your confidence in american democracy barack

obama had been warned of russian interference in the months leading to the 2016 election won by president trump but the only thing apparently on his mind on this day was to catapult his former vice president to victory physically campaigning for the 1st time displayed the charm that made him a 2 term president. very good. i have to say because of my. sexual. physical. but a full throated attack on president trump he hasn't shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends. for treating the presidency like a reality show that he could use to get attach it was no coincidence that the bar

most 1st appearance in the campaign came in the capital of pennsylvania barack obama took pennsylvania in 200820128 was flipped by donald trump in 2016 the state has a high proportion of african american voters and joe biden and his campaign managers have identified pennsylvania as the single most important state to win if he is to make his way to the white house donald trump continued on his campaign trail apparently not pausing to prepare for the final debate with joe biden that will be taking place on thursday. washington. torso jabari reports now from tehran iranian reaction came through its diplomats. the spokesperson for iran's mission of the united nations tweeted that this is dangerous and malicious accusations against iran and that iran has absolutely no

interest in whoever wins the us elections and that iran doesn't interfere with other countries' elections in their proper electoral processes this is a sentiment that's also been shared by president hassan rouhani prior to these accusations during his weekly cabinet meeting on wednesday the president said that iran has absolutely no interest in who becomes the next president of the united states because regardless of whoever that is they will have to kneel to the iranian nation that is the official position of the iranian government but when we speak to analysts and a lot of people in the capital they believe that a biden presidency would of course be one that would be more favorable to iran and the administration there on the administration would be more open to the idea of dialogue with biden presidency despite the fact that they believe any kind of a change in the white house doesn't really mean a change in policy towards iran but that the rhetoric that the president trump has

been using and the sanctions that he's imposed on iran since he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2013 and imposed a series of sanctions on iran that kind of behavior could change possibly with a biden presidency and so that is why this country is watching what is happening in the united states very closely and the results will undoubtedly have ramifications in iran also interoffice a political analyst is with us now live is iran interfering in the u.s. election. and i don't think you don't have any time just because of the problems we have sanctions to both the u.s. government and. from the saudi government. and so. mission from this in this deadly disease i don't think you have much time to think about who wins the next election it is currently election in the us

because you know as me it has been clear that you will not talk to the united ases unless it lifts sanctions on iran and of course there are noises also recently returned to the nuclear deal so why didn't the trunk just doesn't make any difference let's not forget the fact that this is also for domestic consumption the trump ministration knows very well that trump is behind joe biden in state and national. polls we know that biden his winning here are not better friends we know that china trump has been blamed for the don't know why doesn't the fact that before the white attempted only 3200000 americans out of the job but now the workforce of course unemployment figures he's above 35005000000 americans and that speaks a lot the fact that many people are upset about the fairness of the drug administration but how does all of these stations not only for short term rally effect. you talk about the trumpet ministration here we're not talking about the trumpet this is the f.b.i.

not the trumpet ministration that's making this accusation against iran why would the f.b.i. make up something. and then this is for the short term bradley effect they are trying to help trump. reelection that's that's what he wants they want to have him to do but if you're talking about you don't him to veering in american election i don't think you have to get as if the end it means they are just trying to find a scapegoat they are just trying to start this blame game as i told you for sure terry bradley effect but the long term effects of the economy and there and there and the put there for most of the drama and his vision for long term and they are going to cause when you know his 2nd term that is not doubt about it given the trumpet ministrations hostility towards iran at the moment it would seem plausible that iran might want to try to interfere in this election. exiting it doesn't make any difference wrong is not going to live his sanctions on iraq joe biden he's also

the same thing he wants to come up with some kind of j.c. a vote for the whole region and he wants to to have it be good you know deal to get wrong so at the end of the day don doesn't want to do week in the next round of talks in the u.s. government and that in many members of the j.c.b. away the european union russia and china so for for for any president that wins the next election and if he has no choice but to lift the sanctions regime and return to the nuclear deal then you don't he's going to negotiate he davis been the framework of the j.c. if you wait i don't think russia and china is going to be happy or i logged on to do just that so by going to truong they need to give the sanction that return to the new video so 'd there is no interest for anyone who wins the next election i don't think hostilities between you and me us is going to go away over the next few months just because we have a new prison president in there always guarded and that is not going to change a city that has been there for 40 years the hardliners don't want to talk to the

u.s. government they know that even if you talk to them that is no guarantee that the u.s. is going to deliver on its promises and commitments that are it's some of the when you have between you don't have the u.s. that is not going to happen because of the bullying by members of that. fund is part of the it that is separate from the and in america they don't think that iran is an equal partner and they did that iran is above us they featured return to its status before the revolution of 979 impossible at all 'd of what's going on but i think something. the afghan military has confirmed that it was responsible for an asteroid which is reported to have killed 12 children it happened there a mosque in the city of telecon the military says that it's not clear if the strike accidentally killed civilians in a strike was called to counter a large taliban advance in the area but the military says that it's unclear how many civilians were killed and is investigating. france is the 2nd european union
