then this is all the reason to be a bit skeptical about this 3rd fear mation. there have been accusations from both sides that the ceasefire had already been violated but by and large if i compare those early hours to early hours of a good job or 17th was and when that 2nd ceasefire was supposed to come in place it is a much calmer well there's a villain's actually. actually supporting this will whoever you speak to tells you the army this time has the upper hand it's not anymore the army of the ninety's when i was there by john was given really a humiliating defeat a bitter defeat that no one has forgotten here there is a army is making advances and those advent. gains are basically announced on a daily bases yesterday another key town the town of 2 butler which is north west of. itself 2 was the border in me and also closing in from the north from

as soon as monday republicans want it done before the election which the democrats opposes now no nominee to the supreme court has ever been confirmed this close to a presidential election. in the united states vice president mike pence has continued to campaign despite several close aides testing positive for the corona virus and with just 9 days to go now the attention of both sides is focused on key battleground states and gallagher reports from miami. a new wave of coronavirus cases in the white house isn't stopping vice president mike pence hitting the road and says chief of staff and other members of his team tested positive for code 19 but if the shoe will say the 61 year old is healthy and because he's considered essential campaigned in the key state of north carolina with joe biden you got 47 years of all talk no action

soon be over vaccines are on the way under lockdown is the last thing the u.s. economy needs president claims his rival joe biden wants to shut the economy down destroying the lives and dreams of tens of millions desperately hurt our small businesses inflict lasting harm on our children and massively reduce life expectancy for the american people a life expectancy so for the american people you see what happens and i came up with a statement other night that was me try and find somebody else said it 25 years ago the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself vice president joe biden who's leading in national polls spent the day with his family in delaware ill attend a virtual get out the vote event even as a record number of people have already cast their ballots while the messaging from both campaigns is not likely to change in these final days what's becoming clear is this may be

a fight for battleground states where polls suggest the candidates are in a tight race places like pennsylvania north carolina and here in florida are all at play. both campaigns scrambling for every vote and to gallacher all jazeera miami florida well speaking of battleground states the u.s. state of wisconsin lies on a political knife edge the traditionally democratic state recently replaced a republican governor with a democratic one and now the democrats hope to recapture a state that seems to be swinging their way john hendren reports from door county in the sponson donald trump swept into wisconsin like a cool wind off lake michigan and he left in 2016 with an upset victory in a state that hadn't voted for a republican for president since 19 eighty-four any did it in part here in door county a swing county that voted twice for george w. bush twice for barack obama and in 2016 for donald trump door county is a tree lined peninsula jutting into lake michigan home to dairy farms apple

orchards multimillion dollar lakefront homes and tourism. at the farmers' markets in quaint stalls on this scenic lynn skate voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i when into the biggest. depression the american people could actually vote for somebody who. treated other people that way . totally totally blew me away our president has done a good job. and are they going to get in and i don't know and i hope he does. i don't think any guy is a strong enough to handle the job. with just days before the sun rises on the november 3rd election party activists say both sides know if not for wisconsin hillary clinton would be running for reelection and they are more motivated this time very early on they realize that joe biden was py going to be the candidate

they could best beat donald trump but there's a lot more enthusiasm and energy both sides people didn't realize probably that. you know they maybe didn't think it was going to go to trump so i think they know ok we want to last time we got a shot this time too and i think people realize how pivotal wisconsin is in wisconsin and elsewhere political lines makers say battleground state polls are more reliable than they were when trump won upset victories across the great lakes states but 2016 has left many wary i think biden will win wisconsin but i think it will be fairly narrow even though the polls are saying $5.00 to $7.00 points it wouldn't surprise me if it came down to a point like last time or maybe 2 points whatever the polls say if there's one thing we learned from wisconsin in 2016 is that you can't take this great lakes state for granted john hendren al-jazeera door county wisconsin. and pull to serious touring some of those battleground states in america's midwest john hendren

of the issue to discuss things since we really saw the spike in the numbers of people coming out to the streets right across thailand specifically and in big numbers here in bangkok and we do know that the leader of the largest opposition part of the party they've come out and reiterated their call that the prime minister step down this is something the prime minister has rejected time and time again what's going to happen over the next 2 days because of the construct because of the way parliament is formed those who support the prime minister both in the house as well as senate he pretty much controls the senate they are going to have more time twice as much time to discuss things on the floor of the parliament but what they're looking to discuss obviously they'll go through. those who support the prime minister will go through why they acted the emergency decree then withdrew it how things need to go forward how things need to be safe even they're going to discuss the impact on the on the coded restrictions in the cove in cases here in

thailand which are very very low based on the people tens of thousands of people coming out in the street so we'll see a discussion over the next couple of days there is going to be nothing legally binding coming out of these $22.00 days of special session you know the parliament was supposed to reconvene just next week so this is just kind of been stepped up a week early in largely seen by the prime minister as a move to try to deescalate the situation this is something we've seen over the last couple of days. still ahead from here on out is there why british special forces had to board an oil tanker on its way from nigeria to britain. and tends to anger and cameroon as parents ask how the children killed when the school.
