7:07 pm
couple of months but. especially our dance of recent statements. recent verbal attacks as other diplomats name it. has been perceived as concerning basically president dad and his allies see that there is rising islam or for in europe in particular in france and netherlands and that's why into in his speech today he called france and other countries as racists and fascists basically don is trying to corner france because he believes that my chromos trying to corner turkey in its rising regional efforts especially in this and mediterranean this latest round of tension of course came after the killing of a french teacher a history teacher who showed you know cartoons of the from prophet mohammad to his students during a class on freedom of speech in france has accused turkey of not reacting in and
7:08 pm

7:10 pm
that is a body which is seen as something of a go between between the muslim community and the french government ahead 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 lots of reaction coming into everyone's comments of course the turkish president's comments a couple of days ago saying that a man or monk or 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 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. a russian airstrike has killed at least 78 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 job to wiley area province russia and turkey back opposing sides in the conflict within a deescalation zone for gender a cease fire agreement in march 10 days a senior fellow at the arab center in washington he says russia should be held accountable for the ceasefire violation. as we know this far it's within the. ceasefire zones or the escalation zone then should be protected and no being by cedar key. all of their russian air get this 15 as a share price because. a position made it 34 says they have military grade at that area and this is why is a large number of candidates was thinking. turkey along with their understanding it
7:12 pm
on 3 actually that because signatures of that docs. military agreement and should the russian count of all of 4 for violating this entity and then with every everything has been different we have a video of the airstrike and with the air being tools being around in that same area for almost 30 minutes there is no way for ships being honored for supporting the air strike and there is no way to see that this is as being some kind of accident as russia used to be that many incidents and then that and this is why i think now depends on to keep it to date if you decide to get it it would be expedient then student but unfortunately because the british city are. now learning at all in that region me neither russia is on actually escaped with russia and the situation. still ahead on al-jazeera where just one week away from

the u.s. presidential election will the battleground states along the great lakes help trying to secure another when we have a live report and painting in a pandemic we'll look at how art and how brains economy recover from coronavirus. hello it's a quiet time of the year moment was for wait for winter to come in in china but that's a long way north there is of course high enough ground in the middle to see snow but for most women there is an increasing cloud insulter of rain in the west of china does try to reach further east because dr much to all the action really is in the south china sea we have heard not a tropical storm just creeping on the bottom of your screen there on its way towards vietnam and yes it is another one now that's called malarkey sardo which is
7:14 pm
a tropical depression made landfall within the last 24 hours as a very rain mess this is far more significant and it's like if you go quite quickly and get there i think by the early hours of wednesday as it hits the coast of vietnam as the effective strength is for it to strings a category one hurricane so wind and rain to watch out for this time there it is going on shore during wednesday lose strength when it gets there but it gets there with that sort of strength and possible way fight of 10 meters lots to watch out for the further west much caution lack in the bay of bengal there are still shouts mistily and in the foot of india and in sri lanka is a few showers but effectively the monsoon rains are almost gone. on counting the cost for the biden victory means for china as the democrats line up
7:15 pm
a multi-billion dollar plan to confront beijing and president she's project to rival silicone valley plus how africa businesses are coping with the pandemic counting the cost on al-jazeera we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world so much of what we've been using calendar for that matter to you. the the in. a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera 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 there are reports that some
7:16 pm
hospitals are preparing to receive their 1st batches as early as next week president has called on turks to boycott french goods on saturday i don't want to question president emanuel mclaws mental health for his attitude towards islam and muslims that prompted france to recall its ambassador from turkey. 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 you're in previous attempts to stop the conflicts both have already accused the other of violating the agreement the latest truce was mediated by the united states despite heavy fighting on sunday where we challenge reports from armenia's capital yerevan. the armenians insist that they are honoring this cease fire at a hearing to it but they say that the aires have been shelling civilian settlements
7:17 pm
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 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 president of i said 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 path in an address to the nation earlier if they want to ceasefire let them tell the occupying states and leave our territories no and we will go on to the end he seems fed up
7:18 pm
with peace process is fed up with the o.s.c. 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 last thing ceasefire. and what abdul hamid has the latest on the ceasefire from azerbaijan. exhibit early to say where it's going to go if we base it on the 1st 2 announcements of cease fire the 1st one being october 10th and then a week after on october 17th then this is all the reason to be a bit skeptical about this 3rd real fear mation of a cease fire 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 cool job or 17th was and when that 2nd ceasefire was supposed to come in place it is a much calmer well there's
7:19 pm
a villain's actually. are actually supporting this war whoever you speak to tells you the army this time has the upper hand is 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 basis yesterday another key town the town of coup butler which is northwest of nagorno-karabakh itself towards the border in meanie and also closing in from the north from a part they. took under control a town called galloped so certainly people are very happy about that also because terry tauriel gains means yes. buying those areas that belong to by john but also getting hold of natural resources.
7:20 pm
has just 8 days to go until the u.s. presidential election the attention of both sides is now focused on battleground states president he's campaigning in pennsylvania right now he's expected to hit nearly a dozen states in his last ditch effort to make up a ground from his rival joe biden. to john hendren show. john of course the great lakes region very important in this election. that's right fully if you took a boat from pennsylvania to ohio to michigan to wisconsin those are the great lakes swing states that trump won in 2016 and those are the ones without which he would not have won and the one that really put him over the top the unexpected one was wisconsin he won all of those states except ohio upset victories so that's why so many posters were surprised the next day neither democrats nor republicans want
7:21 pm
to be fooled on election day this time around so you can see the candidates spending a lot of time in those swing states and in wisconsin in particular that's a state that right now an average of polls has joe biden up by about 5 percentage points that's why you see trump and pence and biden and harris all converging on these states we went to one county within wisconsin wisconsin had not voted for a republican since 1984 for president but there is a swing county within wisconsin that we use is kind of for who's going to win the election and that's a county called door county out on lake michigan and it voted twice for george w. bush twice for barack obama and then for donald trump in 2016 so we went there this to ask what voters are going to do this time around take a look. donald trump swept into wisconsin like a cool wind off lake michigan and he left in 2016 with an upset victory in
7:22 pm
a state that hadn't voted for a republican for president since 19 eighty-four and he 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 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. are they going to get in or not i don't know and i hope he does. i don't think. a strong enough to handle the job
7:23 pm
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 re-election and they are more motivated this time very early on they realize that joe biden was py going to be the candidate that could best beat donald trump but there's a lot more enthusiasm and energy both sides people didn't realize probably that it 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 biden. 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
7:24 pm
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. and john there's been record numbers of early voting how much can actually be swayed with just over a week to go before the action. that's right fully in part of it because we never know if it's going to be weather like this so you will find the times where they can stand out sometimes in long lines and make those votes and what we're hearing is that very large numbers of people are showing up for early voting so the candidates are out trying to sway them we've got mike pence the republican vice presidential candidate out in minnesota donald trump is in pennsylvania making a few stops joe biden's schedule right now is still to be determined but we're told he will be out today coming to harris is in washington where she will be voting against the nomination of the supreme court justice
7:25 pm
a macone barrett so you can see that these these candidates are all out there trying to influence people in these swing states we have heard from political scientists and from pollsters that there may be a so-called shiny trump voter that is people who don't show up in polls that seems to been what happened in 2016 and while they've tried to fix the polls i've heard many analysts say you might want to give trump one or 2 percentage points on those pools that we're seeing right now trump is up about 8 percent i'm sorry biden is up about 8 percentage points in an average of all polls in michigan and biden is also up about 5 percentage point and an average of polls in wisconsin those are expected to tighten up in the coming days and you can expect to see all the candidates out there on the campaign trail in these swing states thank you for that john hendren in chicago and in part 2 of our series touring some of the battleground states in america's made twice john we'll report from detroit michigan to find out what matters to voters in
