6:02 pm
the british health secretary says the government is preparing for a mass rollout in the 1st half of next year but in the us the trump administration has been accused of giving up the fight against covert 19 white house chief of staff mark meadows has conceded the u.s. is not going to control the pandemic while we have me standing by in london but 1st we go to our white house correspondent kimberly how kit so kimberly president trump has been making the argument to voters that the country is rounding the turn on coronavirus but mark meadows his chief of staff seems to be signaling defeat what's been the reaction of the president to his this revelation from his chief of staff. yeah the u.s. president is essentially distancing himself from the chief of staff mark read his comments but also accusing the media of politicizing those comments what marc mero said was that the administration and its approach is not to contain or slow the
6:03 pm
spread but instead to combat it with vaccines and essentially underscoring what the president has been saying on the campaign trail which is allow people to go about their daily lives that in other words the prescription can't be worse than the cure now the u.s. president for his part in the last hour or so has been tweeting trying to criticize the media for the response saying that the fake news media is writing the covert covert it coded all the way to the election losers he's also arguing that the reason that the number of cases in the united states are up is because there is increased testing and there's no question that those cases are up daily spikes hitting new records and also in terms of the infections 8600000 and 225000 deaths now the market will statements by the chief of staff over the weekend mark meadows that they're sensually this is something that cannot be controlled is something that's been seized on by the democratic presidential nominee joe biden who has accused this of ministration of waving the
6:04 pm
white flag and noting once again that while he has been wearing a mask having socially distance of events that's not what we've seen from the u.s. president who's been holding these large scale rallies many of the times where people are not wearing 'd masks in other words there is a real stark contrast between the 2 candidates and donald trump has been reacting to the comments by joe biden in just the last few moments he accused biden of giving up on life in other words that you can't give up on your daily life you're going to have to deal with this but again it's the choice that voters are making right now and in fact in early voting that is surging with the latest numbers 60. 1000000 americans have already cast their ballot for this november 3rd election but again we've still got another week both voting day and that's why we have the candidates on the campaign trail donald trump in pennsylvania and mike pence who staffers had a bit of an outbreak he's once again tested negative but he is also campaigning in
6:05 pm
minnesota so maybe this coronavirus pandemic a huge issue in this 2020 us election can really help get out the white house thank you let's get an update now on the situation in europe and speak to the banker neiva situation that's growing concerning by the. it's a deepening crisis that's the feeling that you get across the whole of europe because in the past few days 20 countries have reported record increases in the infection rate from germany that has the slowest rate of rising infections to the czech republic at the moment as the fastest rise in infections and different countries are dealing with it in different ways but many of them are reimposing old restrictions or putting into place completely new ones such as curfews and spain became the latest country following the example set by france and belgium introducing a curfew a nighttime curfew from 11 pm until 6 in the morning that said the prime minister
6:06 pm
pedro sanchez was a response to an extreme situation in spain the situation in europe 2nd largest economy from says worsening to france's reported $52000.00 cases new infections within a 24 hour period although warned that leading scientists parts of the body that advises the french government believes that the figure could be double that close to 100000 given that many people don't want to go and get tested and some people are simply asymptomatic but all of that is feeding into a serious debate not just in france but in many countries as to whether or not it's full of lockdowns either regional or national need to be imposed with all of the ramifications of that may have on the economy of those particular nations the science though as to how effective these lockdowns are well the scientists are many many of them are divided what they are united on though is the strong belief that
6:07 pm
as we head towards the colder winter months that we will see coronavirus cases increase as there is a situation with other illnesses over the winter months coronavirus no exception right but there is increasing optimism eve about a vaccine coming from the u.k. went when can we expect this to be a role that. well health secretary here in the u.k. my hand corker suggested that in the 1st half of next year a vaccine may be available for full public use will be rolled out quickly and the british government's pinning its hopes on the oxford university astra zeneca vaccine which is so showing some promising results according to some reports it's a product of an immune response both in younger adults and in older adults a good sign that it's affecting older adults in this way because of course they're the most susceptible to dying of coronavirus and when you get older your immune system tends to to weaken anyway but of course there are many vaccines being developed in different parts of the world one leading scientists have suggested
6:08 pm
that multiple vaccines may be available at the start of next year and one u.k. newspaper has even suggested that a bunch of the oxford vaccine has being sent or is about to be sent to a london hospital improper or in preparation for possibly being used as soon as the oxford vaccine gets the green lollies thank you for that need there in london in other world news president. has called on people enter a key to boycott french goods as tensions rise over plans to reform islam in france on saturday erdogan question to president demand cause mental health for his attitude towards islam and muslims that prompted france to recall its ambassador from turkey mccraw has been calling for tougher loss to prevent what he calls separatism in french society should about what are the. i'm now telling my nation just as the saying in france not to buy anything from turkish brands i call
6:09 pm
on my nation here now do not pay attention to french labeled goods do not buy them . all right we have natasha butler standing by in paris with all the latest reaction but 1st to see him in istanbul for a sit in france condemned the turkish president over his comments about emanuel macross mental health fund sunday but early on not backing down. well yes fully apparently the dispute between 2 leaders french and turkish presidents have become personal this is what we can say from here because both leaders have been personally criticizing each other in the last couple of months as there are several topics that $22.00 countries are at odds with for instance turkey's military presence in libya turkey's oil and gas exploration is in eastern mediterranean the recent now going to cut about conflict between us our bridge on and our many of those topics have been 2 major there have been all major
6:10 pm
differentiation points between france and turkey have over dan's recent. recent sentences and definitions that he used while criticizing the french president has been perceived as out of diplomatic precedent especially when we listen to the german foreign minister today he said that this marked and new law in the dispute between the 2 countries right. intrude kid into kid that this split between the 2 leaders have have been perceived as very similar because i'm kind of believes that. french president jacques want to strength to corner turkey in regional politics but of course whether these calls for boycott will have any respond among the public if the right unknown because there are huge french investments in turkey and also the trade volume is high cinema let me just
6:11 pm
ask you this i mean this latest round of tensions of course came after the killing of a teacher in france who are showed cartoons of the prophet mohammed to his class during a lesson on free speech has there been condemnation from turkey for that killing because that's been one of france's criticism of course that turkey didn't condemn that killing yes. yes exactly this is what we heard from the french minister french culture minister and today turkey turkey is for is the actual spokesperson dr ibrahim cullen tweeted condemning this in this monstrous killing of the french teacher but apparently the turkish ambassador to paris on october 17th he also condemned this attack in a tweet in a tweet that he sent in that he shared in french on october 17th so it is not it is not the presidential spokesperson who 1st condemn the attack which was today but
6:12 pm
also on october 17th there was a condemnation by an official from the turkish foreign minister who is the ambassador to paris thank you for that simcoe sea of blue live in istanbul let's get the view now from paris with natasha butler. said this seems to have become a personal attack now between the 2 leaders between france and turkey what's the reaction 1st from paris to this latest comment by the turkish president. well i think french authorities of course think the this is very disappointing when a head of state calls on people to boycott goods from another country we've heard from the culture minister rosen in battle or she made some comments about once a call for a boycott by saying that a boycott is not in a french tradition that what is needed is dialogue and discussion in order to try
6:13 pm
and calm tensions rising basho also said that him at all micro is not as he's accused by the turkish president anti muslim he is simply trying to fight against what he calls radical islam in france something that is detrimental and destructive says micro all of french society to people who are muslim and not muslim living in france we also heard comments from the head of the muslim council here in france it is a body which is seen as something of a go between between the muslim community and the french government the head of that council says that muslims are not persecuted in france they are free to worship they're free to build mosques he said so a lot of reaction coming into everyone's comments of course the turkish president's comments a couple of days ago saying that a man or my core was anti muslim that he needed a male mental health check went down very badly as you can imagine with french authorities at the least say also with the foreign ministry saying that this sort
6:14 pm
of talk is in a way it's beneath a saw it's beneath the head of state it is not very diplomatic it is not very constructive and they called on the turkish president to end this kind of talk which is also not very befitting of an ally turkey and france of course both nato allies thank you for that matter in paris. well the french president has received a backlash for his comments on islam not just from turkey but from other muslim countries it started earlier this month when macross said the religion was quote aimed crisis over the world as we heard the president responded by questioning macaws mental health now his call for a boycott of all french products at a one and micro have been at odds about the war in syria and libya as well as the maritime dispute in the eastern mediterranean less discuss this further now with marwan bashar senior political analyst he is
6:15 pm
a life here in doha marwan how concerning is it to you these natives tensions between turkey and fancy not new of course the tensions with attentions of and libya they said mediterranean but this time it's over a very sensitive issue islam how concerning is that yes you're right this has been going on for a while and it is as if my groom and who i'm going to present to. do science if you will of the same. preoccupations. it's really in a less recent crisis were over. i think has been exploited i would say my boss lines but clearly it was initiated by the microphone . in the way generalize the garment muslims were talking about a very specific case or case it is inference so i think the issue
6:16 pm
with my own for as well as for many many muslims is the fact that he's generalizing. i personally have been following the situation in france and clearly. prism agreement is rights to be upset is right to be angry is right to pick all sorts of measures in order not to have a horrible horrific act of killing or a french teacher repeated and clearly just a month or less or 3 or weeks ago you speech on what you call separatism. maint on religious extremism in certain parts of the french suburbs you know he might have a right to do all of that and speak of but to generalize and to start talking in historic terms why this type of civilization and islam in crises out around the
6:17 pm
world i think doesn't it does not or. presidency it clearly will not work well 'd for its relations let me ask you about this relationship with the muslim world we've seen people in some muslim countries back this call for a boycott of france by the turkish leader but what about the governments in these countries who holds the power over muslims you know muslim nations have been criticized for cozying up to china while we go muslims are being persecuted in the states that will the power of religion islam have endorsed china in yemen you have children that are being killed by u.s. made weapons but they hasn't been a call to boycott the u.s. in the muslim world by the muslim governments so i'm just wondering where muslim governments will be standing on this issue is you know the issue in china or yemen is that less serious than macross comments over islam. i think the complexity of your question reflects the complexity of the situation and hence any answer
6:18 pm
probably will not do it justice in the sense that in the end of the day we are talking about this the civilization that islamic religion and about one point god knows how many got 1.61.7000000000 muslims around the world so to talk about them as one in any ship before is wrong this is one solicitation and does go through history and it is one religion but even within the rigid there are schools and even among muslims that are in a secular they are the excuse that there is that they are the fundamentalists and inviting then the liberals and songs of the question is in the context of crimes and what's going to be released i'm asking myself who is i'm writing the french president in the middle east and the arab world in this time of all my fears is that he's been trapped by a certain number of dictators some of them his friends in this region that i
6:19 pm
advise against that don't worry about it and we need to go all the way because against those fundamentalist spies finals demon leaders that and the other thing by his friends you mean leaders in its region. absolutely i think i mean i can i can imagine if you will but but that's not the question the question is that something painters in the arab world in the middle east and it's not a war advisor and are in fact allying themselves with microphones and you know what with israel and you know what with the thump and must ration even after the compensation in force a ban on mostly muslim countries some of the dictators and of what our lines themselves would drop and even much to come forward and i think we're seeing the same thing with reza micro is probably getting their own advice from their own people because they all of the care about is their power and their press measures and look at it none of them are coming to his rescue if anything one of us trying
6:20 pm
to help him is european but in the muslim world there is either silence or condemnation so i think the french president needs to hear from more than one side in this region but clearly clearly in east to stick to this republic it's very important that he sticks to what preoccupies the french and that is a question of violence religious extremism the racism against muslims islamophobia in sit back all that but to go on in some sort about i want to quote a crusade because i am a state on some sort of a journey talking about islam in general just as he did by the way just a few weeks ago when he addressed the united nations the remember pony yeah maybe i don't want yours around the world remember every previous everest speakers will provide 1520 minutes as one comes for about 8 minutes present micro for 48 minutes why because he has that kind of
6:21 pm
a you know he wants to be the intellectual elite toast you know as a global view he has big ideas well that's all good and well we talk about the world and and france and europe's all innit. but to generalize that. with what we have is one criminal who committed one 3rd of all crime in france and to generalize that one criminal to 1.67. you know and they are not well are we going to talk about recipe for hours such an interesting topic to discuss with you we're going to leave it here for now thank you so much marwan bashar is our senior political analyst. this venti more ahead on this news hour including we look at the dire situation flop ganz as the violence in helmand province escalates despite peace talks boss i'm dorsett ari in teheran where the 3rd wave of covert 19 is underway and it's already warned that the worst
6:22 pm
is yet to come i have a story of one woman with a positive message the spice offering a devastating loss. world number one novak djokovic is targeting a tennis racket joe will tell you what it is and how he intends to do it in 6. first a russian airstrike has killed at least 78 turkish banks 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 job and a white area of it late province russia and turkey back opposing sides in the conflict falls within a deescalation zone force under a cease fire agreement in march that speak to round one day about this is a senior fellow at the absentia in washington d.c. he joins us via skype thank you very much for speaking to us we hadn't been talking a lot about syria lately it's been somewhat quiet relatively quiet and then this
6:23 pm
big attack happened what do you think of spontaneity. oh thank you for of course before hostname i mean i'm sure you pointed out right that if if that media there's not governors out there syria that doesn't mean that the situation is getting better there but actually that there were today because of not oh by their russian airplanes well that's one of the reigning towns openness you know position in northeastern part of syria as we know in this part of it live it's within the what's well that was that of talks ceasefire zones would be escalation and so on then she would be protected from not be not backed by. air gets all ground action air get richer scheme and i'm just sort of her are you. there are no position military forces they have military grade at that area and this is why the large number of american who was being killed and i mean you're as you say this is
6:24 pm
a clear violation of the estancia agreement 78 turkish soldiers killed. turkish baths soldiers back travels i should say killed how will a techie respond to this. of course turkey is along with that i shine you know i'm sorry actually that post signatures of that stuff out of the house and the us military agreement and should russia hold i count to 4 for 4 quietly there's a theme and it's every everything has been diplomats that we have beat us off the air strikes and we're the airplanes who will be in our round in the female area almost 30 minutes there is no way for her being on years for somebody you know the arabs there are and there is no way to say that there's been some kind of accident and who actually use it would be that many incidents happening and in bacteria and this is why i think now depends on to the day if they don't get it sorry it was
6:25 pm
late or would be if it is their incidence but unfortunately because they complained of sick you are up to your eye now and so all in very jan right are it's me anita rush on there than actually without russia and the situation techies indeed involved a number of crises as we've heard even in this news hour do you think the appetite would be to deescalate then and not necessarily withdraw from this agreement. this is what this is what actually my living too without it's unlikely to keep it will raise the issue or escape the issue with there are i se forms to be in this situation hands no with. the us need to unfortunately did not inform in this you don't situation are involved in this area a very poor so i thin it remember and the us now in the middle of the election and
6:26 pm
has no. because i too and or in the sudan situation this is why i think it's there it's hold back so that. more and more incidents have it in syria with that would be a sign it meant europe we've been no actions in or just as there are now who will thank you so much for talking to us rod one senior fellow at the absent or in washington thank you for your time. libya's national oil corporation says it has reopened its last oil fields that had been closed nearly all libyan oil exports was stopped in january by war no 24 have tossed forces base in the east production started ramping up in september as some of libya's largest oil fields reopened libya used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude a day but moammar gadhafi is down 40 and 27 plunge the country into violence the dire security situation has had
6:27 pm
a negative effect on the economy its central bank want earlier this month libya faces an economic collapse if it does not increase oil production. has more from tripoli. 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 fields the oil ports that will . have to. move actually the to measure the oil exporting ports in the country now the state oil firm also stated that oil production is going to increase to $800000.00 barrels per day within 2 weeks of 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
6:28 pm
bring good production back to normal this takes a lot of effort and also sophisticated maintenance. operation to bring the honest elations to produce oil back to normal 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 of nagorno-karabakh but as during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accused the other of violating the agreement. was mediated by the united states despite heavy fighting on sunday chalons reports from armenia's capital here than. the armenians insist that they are honoring this cease fire at a hearing to it but they say that the as aries have been shelling 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 say
6:29 pm
similar things back to the armenian so yes 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 perhaps it is in the armenians best interest to come to a ceasefire not necessarily in the interests of the as areas who have been in the military ascendancy over the last few weeks it could still go wrong for the by john on me but the presidents of of as of why 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 to the nation earlier if they want to cease fire let them tell the occupying states and leave our territories no and we will go on to the end he seems fed up with peace process is fed up with the o.s.c.
6:30 pm
a fed up with international medias he says a biased in favor of armenia we are creating a new reality says. earlier and that does not seem the right kind of circumstances for a lasting ceasefire. still ahead on al-jazeera painting in a pandemic we'll look at how odd to get help britain's economy recover from going on a bias and in sports with joe the talent from all champions eventis continue to struggle without a stand i don't want. hello it is still nice and warm in the levant on the iraq compared with average for about 4 or 5 degrees above but there is activity going on the eastern med and that will eventually knock these temperatures back from about 30 to read about $2730.00 about to above average that's the only significant weather in the immediate future apart
6:31 pm
from passing showers trying to catch a gentle breeze from the north winds doha's temperatures around but 3031 mark very pleasant this time of the year and also fairly typical rain still extend as far north as the south sudan at these e.o.p. and i think we'll see some in somalia the heaviest stuff is for the sas in the rift valley in cameroon and gabble even touching northern angola was a daily event now right at all to the west of that this is where the after rains are if you goes south you don't find very much at the moment in fact it's been surprisingly warm in south africa around johannesburg and as you get to 10 degrees above the actual little bit less than that now and this sort of heat persistent the tends to generate showers which you might well see forwarding in the tang the so to the eastern side of south africa the forecast in johannesburg reflects that for tuesday wednesday it is sundry that its files as a with a warm breeze maintaining that warmth.
6:32 pm
'd held for over 3 years in an egyptian prison cell denied their right to a fair trial no charges have been brought against al jazeera correspondent mike moore saying his crime journalism. to demand more neutral thinks and boy solidarity with all detained journalists sign the petition. 'd monitor saying. he began with war and agreeing with him i called shall i fall i felt like i was that a documentary filmmaker once granted unconditionally contrasts his experiences with those seeking refuge today and intimate you know of the consequences of the policies of detainments is really on that's the sort of illness misery they cannot absorb this number that people have to suffer and in this way it is unacceptable
6:33 pm
and refugees tan on a. the only the in the. to know the looking back you're watching the news hour on al-jazeera with me fully back to bore a reminder of our top stories the u.k.'s health secretary says the government is preparing for a mass rollout of a coronavirus vaccine in the 1st half of next year the reports that some hospitals are preparing to receive their 1st batches as early as next week. present to one has called on turks to boycott french goods on saturday to one question to president in manama cause mental health for his attitude towards islam and muslims
6:34 pm
that prompted france to recall its ambassador from turkey and libya's national oil corporation says it's reopened it's the last oil fields that had been closed this means the only be a spore sent facilities can potentially resume production so. the you. are right it's 8 days to go until the u.s. presidential election and vice president mike pence is continuing to campaign despite several close aides testing positive for corona virus with just over a week now until the election the attention on both sides is focused on battleground states wisconsin is one on a is on a political knife edge i should say let's go straight to john hendren who is joining us from very thank you so much john for being with us so how important are the swing states around the great lakes this year. well they were critically important in putting donald trump over the top and 2016
6:35 pm
you can see this is what the weather like this is what voters will likely be contending with to go out and vote and that's why a lot of them are early voting right now but if you take a boat through those swing states in the great lakes from pennsylvania to ohio to michigan to wisconsin those are all states that donald trump won in 2016 won by a whisker in most cases in all but ohio were states that he was not expected to win so he won those in upset victories and perhaps the unlikeliest state the one that put him over the top was wisconsin 1 that's a traditionally democratic state that has not voted for a republican for president since ronald reagan in 1984 so that was a major victory and that's why you see these candidates campaigning through the great lakes states now we talked to voters in wisconsin take a look door county is a tree lined peninsula jutting into lake michigan home to dairy farms apple
6:36 pm
orchards multimillion dollar lakefront homes and tourism at the farmers markets and quaint stones on this scenic landscape voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i went into the big is. the person who had. 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. but he's going to get in and i don't know much and i hope he does. i don't think any guy is. 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 playing going to be the candidate that could best beat donald trump but there's
6:37 pm
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've 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 hi john we have president campaigning today in pennsylvania another battleground state there are record numbers of early voting in this 2020 lection how much kent can the electorate be swayed with just over a week to go. well we've been out talking to voters in all of these great lakes states and i can tell you they're motivated there are trump yard signs everywhere in the rural areas in more urban areas you see biden yard signs and a lot of people we've talked to say they've never voted before they haven't voted
6:38 pm
in years or they didn't vote in 2016 and they're going to vote this time those battleground state polls generally show biden ahead in all of those states except ohio where it's something like a dead heat but if 2016 is anything to judge by there are shiny trump voters this is what pollsters have been telling me recently that may not show up in the polls they believe that's what happened in 2016 they tried to fix those polls and really hone in on them in battleground states but one of the big questions is will will there be these so-called shi'ite trump voters that will bump up his numbers by one or 2 percentage points if so that is enough to possibly put him over in some of these states in that's why mike pence is is campaigning in minnesota and why trump is campaigning in pennsylvania you have to come a harris on the democratic side the vice presidential candidate who will likely be in washington voting for this fight against the supreme court just as amy coney
6:39 pm
barrett and right now we don't know exactly where biden will be but he's been back out on the campaign trail hitting a couple of spots a week and you can expect to see him this week thank you very much for that john hendren reporting there live from chicago and in part 2 touring some of the battleground states in america's midwest john will report from detroit michigan to find out what matters to voters in a majority county as you say right here on the air. and the republican controlled u.s. senate is expected to confirm president trump's choice for the supreme court after a marathon session all night this caps off a sprint to case any county barrett in the high court despite opposition from democrats no nominee to the supreme court has ever been confirmed this close to a presidential election. to afghanistan now every since fighting between the taliban and government forces in helmand province has forced thousands to flee their homes it's also casting doubt over the prospects of peace despite ongoing
6:40 pm
talks in doha between the 2 sides contre 40 reports from kabul. it is a place of nothingness no food no clean water no electricity a camp with thousands of displaced people mostly from home and were children even ripe tomatoes to survive. and the men try to help new arrivals like this widow from those whose husband died in the fighting a bag of flour is all they could buy for her the pieces of bread are all she has to feed her 2 children and they're not the only ones was that there was. a lot of money to the owners of the shops nearby say took food from them during the current team people were selling their households to buy food now these people don't even have a blanket for themselves. and has been stuck in this cab camp since it was built
6:41 pm
16 years ago like most unable to go back to home and and powerless to get a normal home here dozens of families from his province have found refuge here in recent weeks because of renewed fighting and life is just as hard for them with tens of thousands forced from their homes and home and many ran for their lives with no belongings. more than 220000 people have been displaced by the fighting in afghanistan in the last year and many have to live in camps like this the war and poverty prevent most of them from returning home. on a virus pandemic has pushed people deeper into poverty put prices because the border closures have skyrocketed across afghanistan making access to food. for those internally displaced even harder the u.n. has revised its humanitarian response plan because of the pandemic and it's still
6:42 pm
