uphold the cease fire between media and the united states has both sides to respect the latest truce and joining us now with all the day's sports the los angeles dodgers take game 5 of baseball's world series to move to one of best 1st championship since 1900. so they current are as cases are rising sharply across europe with several countries reporting record numbers of new infections on sunday france announced more than $50000.00 new cases for the 1st time while it's only in spain are also struggling with the 2nd wave but hopes for a vaccine growing the u.k. health secretary says the government is preparing for a mass rolled around in the 1st half of next year in china the government is conducting more mass testing after
4:02 pm
a new outbreak in the shin jang region nearly 5000000 people are being screened there after the discovery of 137 new infections in the united states the trumpet ministration has been. cuse of giving up the fight against covert 19 after white house chief of staff mark meadows conceded that the u.s. is not going to control the pandemic but we have named bob is standing by in london but 1st let's go to our white house correspondent kelly how could in washington and can't be said mark meadows cannot control the virus but making efforts to contain it isn't a surprising acknowledgement really what's been the reaction. yeah the reaction from the u.s. president just last 14 minutes or so 2 different tweets pushing back on the notion that this is ministration is waving the white flag if you will with respect to the growing number of covert 1000 infections in the united states we've got more than 8600000 infections 225000 dead the u.s.
4:03 pm
president saying that the reason that these numbers are up is because there's more testing in the united states also accusing the media of sensually politicizing this that this is really just an effort to divide the nation over this issue democrat or republican now it was a remarkable revelation by mark meadows that what the strategy of this white house is is essentially not to control this virus in any way but to treat it and this is a marked difference between not only donald trump but joe biden joe biden very much advocating is the democratic presidential nominee the mitt wearing a face mask in all situations social distancing but of course donald trump continues to hold his large public rallies many of the times there are people that are not wearing masks and there is no social distancing so we've seen these sort of optics in images for many many weeks on the campaign trail but now this revelation
4:04 pm
from the chief of staff mark meadows really further dividing americans over this issue and we should point out this is something that's going to continue as we are now in the homestretch of the u.s. election the u.s. president for his part will be traveling to the battleground state of pennsylvania this is really joe biden's backyard as they continue to fight for every vote and that state one that could be pivotal new u.s. election and for his part mike pence who has had a rash of outbreak of coke with diet team cases in his office in recent days he is still testing negative he will be traveling to the u.s. state of minnesota for a complete thanks a lot so that's picture from the white house can we how could the let's say of course have to be broadcast live for us in london so many of the situation in europe growing more and more serious by the very. yes pretty precarious and what we're seeing is country after country either decide to introduce new restrictions or return to some of the older ones only
4:05 pm
a few days ago we saw more than 20 companies reporting record daily increases in the vaccine that includes germany that has the slowest or least one of the slowest increases in the in the virus. lots of checks were put the public there has the fastest growing rate of infection we have seen effectively used curfews in belgium and in france and also spain last night became another country to introduce this curfew began 11 o'clock at night and finished at 6 o'clock in the morning that according to pedro sanchez the prime minister it was a response to an extreme situation there 52000 cases in france that's the highest recorded case of infections in the 24 hour period that has been reported but according to a senior scientist that advises the government there that figure could be much higher closer to 100000 it given that some people do not go for testing and some
4:06 pm
people are asymptomatic they seems to be consensus across the board for the colder weather is helping to spread and increase the infection rates across the board across the whole of europe and they were awaiting good news about a vaccine are there all the glimmers of optimism coming now. yeah that's right the british government is saying that it's pinning its hopes on the possibility of a vaccine being rolled out for general use general consumption in the 1st half of next year according to mauthausen cough the health secretary that is the government's central position asked whether or not that vaccine may be available before and before the end of the year he said he wasn't ruling it out and we have also heard from a senior scientist a member of the sage committee the body that advises the government that perhaps more than one vaccine might be available at the start of next year of course as will forget there are multiple groups of scientists and many different countries
4:07 pm
all working on getting this vaccine across the line and getting it safe for public use but of course in the u.k. the government here pinning its hopes on research as an oxford university they're working in partnership with astra zeneca the pharmaceutical giant report also at one british newspaper to suggest that a large london hospital has been to told to prepare for a shipment of the vaccine. as next week the oxford vaccine that is possibly an indicator of how much trust and faith they're putting in the findings of the coming hours of research at the moment we know from certain reports that the vaccine is showing a robust response amongst elderly people that are involved in the trial the overall message is it's a matter of months not years before the vaccine could be available for general use or a knave thanks very much data in london well let's take this story about the vaccines on usually they can take years to be approved but some might be available next year
4:08 pm
was alluding to the vast majority the vaccines are still in the preclinical stage being tested on animals not people about 50 are in phase one where they give in to 100 for the people or phase 2 where they're tested on hundreds and about a dozen run about a dozen have been have reached phase 3 where thousands of people received the drug to confirm its safety. and check for any side effects of vaccines developed by the university of oxford and astra zeneca neves talking about just then the us a biotech firm with at this stage while china has given limited early approval for 2 experimental vaccines its company seen a farm wants to have a 1000000000 doses available by next year while russia has also given the go ahead to 2 experimental treatments but that was before phase 3 testing had even begun so let's try and unravel this a little bit we can speak now to annelise while the smith who's a professor of emerging infectious diseases at the london school of hygiene and
4:09 pm
tropical medicine joins us now from new so in switzerland welcome to the program let's take a look at these dozen or so phase 3 vaccines getting hopeful noises out of the u.k. as we've just been hearing but the oxford trial hopeful noises from the united states from russia from china is a very confusing picture for the layman where are we at and where should we be looking for the best chance of a vaccine do you think. so as you said there about that but it doesn't vaccines in the streets well so to speak child would and 10 thousands of people are being tested and so we are we are not all quite optimistic that we will soon see to be startled at least the 1st one or 2 back scenes being published maybe even as early as december now that the availability of the face straight results due back to 6th floor licensing such a vaccine was license and checked for its efficacy and safety that it can be rolled
4:10 pm
out to the masses so if a vaccine is license how quickly can it be rolled out and given the hundreds of millions of people who need it how was i going to take. yes so we are it's a risk taking effort and with that spirit the benefits actually has already started so that we can compress the timelines that we licensure and rolling it out that's of course a risk and that's what we have and you know the financing mechanism to. afford this sharing purposes but it can be relatively fast it's not it's not the speed it's also the amount so we all know in the initial we will have limited vaccine supply and therefore a lot of comedies around the world including that is now in no thinking through who should be vaccinated 1st and the limited bechstein supply scenarios could we
4:11 pm
see a situation where several vaccines rollout symbol to be asleep. that could well happen so so we all think that probably the 1st 2 exene is we'll look at around to the same time and that and you and additional back scenes will come out of the idea that intent is that by the end of 2021 we would have had $2000000000.00 doses of vaccine that would be. distributed to countries around the world use a fairly distributed but how can we sure ensure that fair and rule distribution. so this is a concern i think that justified concern and to address this concern. dubay show to get that with various other stakeholders and the gavi it's actually has a separatist platform or
4:12 pm
a mechanism which they call kovacs so kovacs is meant to have a pooled risk sharing priest financing mechanism but also negotiating prices. and and then basically supporting a whole range of that seems but it also ensuring so do have mechanisms or it could be like a legal mechanisms that every country will have the equal distribution so the thought the and the intent is here indeed that in the initial plant when we have still limited supply that would be the 3 percent of course will to the population for each country that then will quickly be. outdated to a bath to up to 20 percent. when the vaccines are rolling out the that's not the end of the story is it we're still there's still a lot old battle ahead is now i was reading that somebody like if you don't have 60 percent efficacy of upward. we do not know the advocacy at this point and that's
4:13 pm
why we aren't being alienated in the phase 3 trial results but i think 60 percent 70 percent could be realistic and we really have to alter the danger older people the kind of thinking is that that to prevent deaths we should initially focus oh no . giving that the vaccine to older people and people with corbett and also to healthcare workers however have served and we need to send them back in the spirit of reciprocity acknowledging the service they have given to us or as i say we're getting glimmers of optimism now annelise well dismiss great to get your expertise on this thanks very much for the thanks. still ahead on the news hour including demonstrators are demanding reforms in thailand up back on the streets as hollywood holds a special session to discuss its reaction. in 2016 donald trump won the
4:14 pm
presidential election in part by winning key swing states in the great lakes area ohio michigan and wisconsin we take a tour of the great lakes states to see how they'll play in the 2020 alexion. for a smite you already write in the history of it. we'll hear from lewis hamilton after his record breaking a race win that's coming up but joe it's. not present resit top one has called on the turks to boycott the french goods tensions rise over plans to reform islam in france on saturday when question president a man will not cause mental health for his attitude towards islam and muslims and that prompted france to recall its ambassador from turkey macro has been calling for changes to the way islam is practiced in front. shiban. i'm now telling my
4:15 pm
nation just as the saying in france not to buy anything from turkish brands i call on my nation here now do not pay attention to french labeled goods do not buy them we have natasha but let's standing by in paris with all the latest reaction but 1st let's cross over to istanbul where scene of course you know who is live for us and sort of tell us more about what president of unsaid. oh well nick president our don actually has been very vocal about france president because 2 countries have several reasons for tensions recently actually it's not only the latest tension caused by the. by the killing of. pity in paris then the turkey's critics against europe in particular against france for islamophobia but it's also because it's also because there is a tension between the 2 nato allies with regard to turkey's military presence in
4:16 pm
libya after. all and gas exploration operations in this and mediterranean. are mania and azerbaijan conflict over now gone by and now about the latest system of forget debates between 2 countries but it is more likely a debate a tension between 2 leaders because in tricky many politicians and also political analysts have been accusing for isn't much for trying to contain turkey in the regional issues and. make turkey get stuck in a corner to corner actually that they believe that france is acting with the intimacy of colonialism and they don't want turkey to be involved in the regional issues and turkey shall be cornered within its territorial limits this is what the turkish politicians including the analysts believe but of course when you talk
4:17 pm
about these boycott call ins this this was actually a respond in kind of france because they had a similar. they had a similar call as well but i have to say that turkey france regulations are pretty good because france has a huge factory ultimate industrial factory in turkey and this is the largest for the action capacity after western europe also the trade wall in between 2 countries has reached for. 14.6000000000 euros in 2016 and back in 2802 allies promise that their trade wall in it should reach up to 20000000000 euros when you look at the trade balance system turkey's exports to france is higher than turkey's imports from france but of course when you boil it if turkey boycotts the french goods especially at thinking about the automobile industry this is also a problem for turkey because those auto about production facilities in turkey
4:18 pm
employ thousands of people inside turkey as well so so far turkey accuses france for trying to push the e.u. countries for imposing sanctions against turkey for its regional operations and regional stance because from the turkish perspective france france can't bear turkey for its assertion of regional power and turkey believes that these are its fries but the latest dispute is about all ism of for be an apparent the turkish president dredged up tape aired on is a gan calling to the muslim streets muslim populations not only in turkey in the middle east but also in europe nic or it's an emergence of you from turkey let's give you from personal touch about the joins us from one very pointed in this attack on america what's been the reaction. well there hasn't been any reaction to these latest comments from the turkish president because he
4:19 pm
just made them a short while ago but what i can say is that french or storage are likely to be very disappointed that the turkish head of state is deciding to back such a boycotts of but nevertheless they probably won't be surprised by his comments because they had one on saturday of course made other comments against the french president who might or might cry are claiming that because of one saying because of attitude towards muslims that imad or mark or needed a mental health check well you can imagine that those comments did not go down well at all in france both the english say and the foreign ministry calling them insulting perhaps not very becoming you might say of a head of state towards another head of state particularly not of a fellow nato ally in a country that is supposed to be an ally those are the words of the french foreign ministry statement and france has recalled its ambassador to turkey back to france
4:20 pm
for consultations to discuss the situation now the trade minister here in france is saying that he certainly surveying the situation closely on behalf of the french businesses that could be concerned and are concerned by this boycott for the moment is watching to see what the impact will be but i should thanks very much live the talk about the reporting from paris. now a russian air strike has killed at least 50 turkish backed rebels in northern syria the syrian observatory for human rights says more than 90 others were wounded in the attack on a training camp in the area of provence russia and turkey back opposing sides in the conflict it lived falls within the escalation zone forced under a cease fire agreement in march. libya's national oil corporation says it has reopened its last oil field that had been closed nearly all libyan oil exports was stopped in january by the warlord he for have to force is based in the east production started ramping up in september as some of libya's largest oil fields
4:21 pm
reopened libya used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude a day but after his downfall back in 2011 plunged the country into violence and the dire security situation is had a negative effect on the economy its central bank want to earlier this month that libya faces an economic collapse if it does not increase oil production let's hear now from our who's in tripoli and has more. now the national oil corporation that's the state oil for based here in tripoli stated that it is lifted. on all. fields ports and installations across the country the 2 remaining oil field ports that will. have to sit there and. actually the 2 major oil exporting ports in the country now state oil phone also stated that oil production is going to increase to $800000.00 barrels per day within 2 weeks
4:22 pm
after that these recent arrangements and maybe a 1000000 barrels a day within a month now remember that this is not going to happen easily because in order to bring get production back to normal this takes a lot of effort and also sophisticated maintenance. operation to bring. to produce oil back to normal 13 migrants have died after their boat sank in the mediterranean sea off the coast of libya 5 others were rescued by the libyan coast guard they've been taken to tripoli for medical treatment and civil war in libya has led many to risk the crossing to europe now a 3rd attempt to uphold a humanitarian ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia is already coming under pressure the 2 sides have been fighting over the disputed territory if you're going to care about ballot as during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accused the other of violating the agreement the latest truce was mediated
4:23 pm
by the united states despite the fighting on sunday it's enough to reach islands who's in the armenian capital of your own. this is the 3rd attempt to say any reason to believe that this war will be any more success. well i think increasingly less this. attempt to this cease fire is starting to fray already. lost it a little bit longer than the 2nd one which collapse within minutes really as you say sides are already accusing each other of violating it the armenians insist that they are ordering the ceasefire at a hearing to it but they say that the aires have been shouting civilian settlements that they have kills one civilian and wounded another 2 in the going to karabakh that they have been using smirch rocket systems the as areas have been saying
4:24 pm
similar things back to the armenians yes the the the prospects for this particular effort at a ceasefire not particularly rosy at the moment i mean you have to look at this situation and say the perhaps it is in the armenians best interest to come to a ceasefire not necessarily in the interests of the as areas have been in the military ascendancy over the last few weeks it could still go wrong for the by john army they have been advancing along riverbeds and plains but as they push up into the mountains and as their supply lines gets more and more stretched it could get much more difficult for them the weather is about to heading towards november you don't really want to be fighting up in the mountains against an enemy was hiding out in the in the forests and exploits your weaknesses bucks the
4:25 pm
presidents of. john. doesn't seem to really be in the mood for the cease fire anyway he has said that we will continue on our part in an address of a nation earlier if they want to cease fire let them tell the occupying states and leave our territories no and we will go. so the n.b.c. fed up with peace process is fed up with the o.s.c. fed up with international media's he says a parsed in favor of our media and we are creating a new reality says a layer of earlier and that does not seem the right kind of circumstances for a lost its. very fragile a roaring for time being thanks a lot that's a picture from your of and your gallons well controls and gora karabakh so water is one of the stumbling blocks that have led to the repeated collapse of attempted ceasefire talks between media and there's a bunch on. this report from the tata river in as a functional. it's been nearly 30 years since water was lost flowing into farmlands along the line of control between azerbaijan and armenia to see if his crops of
4:26 pm
wheat clover and cotton still money be shelved had to dig up with deep enough to reach the underground water but. i remember when the water was plentiful here i remember when these canals were built it was 974 rivers waters were rich in minerals and the crops were very good the underground water is not as rich in minerals anymore my annual yield is much lower and the quality of the crops is not as good. water is one of the issues at the heart of the conflict between the 2 countries people here say their livelihood has been taken hostage by armenia which had controlled the main reservoir that supplies the water system in these from time areas until just a few weeks ago the tartar rivers fed by the dam which was built by dystopias but then fell under control after it seized as early $990.00 s. now azerbaijan says that. stopped the flow of water so the river bed would dry up.
4:27 pm
as if by john announced it had retaken control of the reservoir in the 2nd week of the conflict zone the road leading there is a radio under construction despite its proximity to the frontline and continuous shelling. and water has started trickling again to the tire tire river which runs about 200 kilometers along to cut up a region and surrounding areas. water started to arrive in some regions but it hasn't reached everywhere yet we need the water to start flowing the river again we are depleting the underground water and we need the water from the reservoir to increase the underground reserves is going to take time before the farmers here enjoy a water flowing in their canals again many need to be weeded out and repaired it will also take time before the tartar river is full again but for many here at the little water that is a ready reaching it is a sign that as if by jens army at the moment is making some territorial gains cut
4:28 pm
up that hamid karzai. all right let's have a look at the whether it's rough. a real deep winter pushes made it known throughout the rockies in the plain states of the us that this clouds in the dickey well organized and that's true the front is quite a long way south and not that obvious in the tie but this is all cold air and is sitting underneath this dome of high pressure because it is sitting there is if you like temperature wise these are daytime highs in denver of minus 8 cast from us and no misty they're quite high up above sea level but if the run about 0 in des moines and also kansas city that's not to stay there forever it will warm up it's brought snow with it and to some degree that's good news for colorado in that the snow has it down down the fires but it's still dry air which is not particularly good denver's forecast temperatures do rise but it should be about 15 on average in overnight about minus one so it really is a cold burst now

4:32 pm
corporation says it's reopened its last oil field that had been closed this means nearly all libya's ports and facilities complete tenchi resume production soon. in the united states with just a week to go until the election the attention of both sides is now focused on the battleground states the state of wisconsin lies on a political knife edge the traditionally democratic state recently reclaimed the post of governor from the republicans and now the democrats hope to recapture the state itself which seems to be swayed their way john hendren reports now from door county in wisconsin. 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
4:33 pm
county as a swing county they 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 and quaint stalls on this scenic landscape voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i went into the biggest. depression had. american people could actually vote for somebody who. treated other people that way it's. totally a. good job. whether you're going to get in or not i don't know and i hope he does. i don't think is. a strong enough to handle the job with just days before the sun rises on the november 3rd election party activists
4:34 pm
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 playing going to be the candidate they could best beat donald trump 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 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. 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
4:35 pm
state for granted john hendren al-jazeera door county wisconsin. well part 2 of us series it tearing some of the battleground states in america's midwest 100 reports from detroit and michigan to find out what matters to voters in the trump majority county that said tuesday. well the republican controlled the u.s. senate is expected to confirm president trump's choice of supremes court justice after a marathon all night session caps as it caps a sprint to place a macone berets in the high court before the presidential election and despite opposition from democrats no nominee to the supreme court has ever been confirmed this close to a presidential election. fact she workers and students have answered an opposition call for a national strike and better is piling the pressure on president alexander lukashenko to resign the war council owes a major rally on sunday by more than 100000 people they say there is no longer
