8:03 pm
hitting new records and also in terms of the infections 8600000 and 225000 deaths now the remarkable 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 white flag and noting once again that while he has been wearing a mask having socially distance 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 masks. and he has needs bokken out in london on that planned vaccine well now it's a shred of optimism here from the u.k. of course the oxford team in partnership with the pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca plowing ahead with trials at the moment i'm up hank alker the health secretary has been speaking this morning has been talking about very optimistically about the
8:04 pm
hope of rolling out a mass vaccine for general consumption general use in the 1st half of next year asked whether or not vaccine may be available to some before the end of the year he said well who isn't ruling it out but it is the government's central position that they believe that the vaccine will be available a vaccine may be available at the start of the year of course the british government pinning its hopes on the research being carried out in oxford also last week we did hear from a scientific advisor sits on an organization called the sage committee that advises the government he said that he believed also at the start of next year a vaccine would be available but there are a variety a whole range of possible vaccines may be available to given the wide portfolio of different options the different scientific teams are working on in different places in the world we are also hearing a report also on monday morning in one of the british newspapers suggesting that
8:05 pm
a major london hospital has been told that it could receive a bunch off the oxford astra zeneca vaccine as early as november the 3rd next week we believe also that health officials have doctors nurses and other health workers are being trained in how to administer that vaccine so some possible glimmer of hope there as well. in other world news president type erdogan has called on turks to boycott french goods as tensions rise over plans to reform islam in france on saturday or to one question french president a man who might cause mental health for his comments on islam and muslims that prompted france to recall its ambassador from turkey across has been calling for tougher loss to prevent what he calls separatism in french society should it go. i'm not telling my 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
8:06 pm
goods do not buy them al-jazeera cinema who has more from istanbul. tell's been this way for a while between french president 7 and mark one and turkish president dan basically the there are several reasons. for the dispute between 2 countries which has. which has actually centralised between dawn and markram 1st turkey is military presence in libya turkey's oil and gas explorations in the eastern mediterranean the latest novel knockout about the split between armenian as arbiter and these i did these are the problematic areas at which those 2 nato allies are at odds with against each other and personally aired on unmarked grown have been criticizing each other very harshly in the last couple of months but. especially our dance of recent statements. recent verbal attacks as other
8:07 pm
diplomats name it. has been perceived as concerning basically president davon and his allies see that there is rising islamophobia 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 microbus trying to corner turkey in its rising regional efforts especially in this the mediterranean and here's attash about now with reaction from paris where cause for dialogue are being voiced. we've heard from the culture minister recently bashful or she made some comments about her 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
8:08 pm
and calm tensions i was in buffalo 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 mark or 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 that 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 a 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
8:09 pm
of talk is in a way it's beneath a so 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 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 nagano kind of awkward but as during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accused the other of violating the agreement the latest was mediated by the united states despite heavy fighting on sunday well the challenge reports from armenians capital here on the armenians insist that they are ordering this ceasefire at a hearing to it but they say that the because there is have been shelling civilian
8:10 pm
settlements that they have killed 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 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 have been in the military ascendancy over the last few weeks it could still go wrong for the as a by john on me but the president of as 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
8:11 pm
let them tell the occupying states to 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. a fed up with international medias he says a boston favor of armenia we are creating a new realities as they are. and that does not seem the right kind of circumstances for a last thing ceasefire. a russian air strike has killed at least 78 turkish baths rebels say northern syria the syrian observatory for human rights says more than 1000 others were wounded in the attack on a training camp in the job area of a province russia in turkey back opposing sides in the conflicts it falls within a deescalation zone for gender a cease fire agreement in march. is a senior fellow at the center in washington he says russia should be held accountable for the ceasefire violation. as we know this far over in libya it's within the. ceasefire zones. the escalations don't then should
8:12 pm
be protected and no being backed by cedar. all of their russian air get this 15 as a share price because. of the fission military forces they have many pay grade at that area and this is why is a large number of candidates was being killed and injured turkey is along with their shining it on 3 actually that caused signatures of that. military agreement and should arrest for that 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 airplanes who being around in that same area almost certain that there is no way for shipping our universe forcibly to the air and there is no way to see that this is as being some kind of accident as russia used to be that many incidents happened when and then. and this is why i think now
8:13 pm
depends on to keep if you decide to get it it will be if it is then student but unfortunately because the sticky are right now learning to all in that region mean either russia actually escaped with russia in this situation. still ahead on al-jazeera we're just one week away from the u.s. presidential election where the battleground states along the great lakes helped trump secure another way and what not son has discovered on the sun let's say 1st off the mall. hello it is still nice and warm in the levant on the rock compared with average for
8:14 pm
about 45 degrees above but there is activity going on the eastern med and that will eventually knock these temperatures back from about 30 to run about $27.00 so we're about to above average that's the only significant weather in the immediate future apart from passing showers trying to catch a man a gentle breeze in the north winds doha's temperatures around about 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 gaborone even touching northern angola's a daily event now very little 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 if you get to 10 degrees above the little bit less than that now and this sort of heat persistent the tends to generate showers which you might will see forwarding in the tang the so to the
8:15 pm
eastern side of south africa the forecast in johannesburg reflects that for tuesday wednesday it is sundry that is file says that with a warm breeze maintaining that wants. frank assessments if american public opinion is betrayed by social media platforms after november what would be the good the cautious and if you believe that there horowitz into our democracy one obvious solution is to read from an informed opinion look at checkers don't go anywhere the protesters aren't going anywhere either it's a bullet with a revolution to call in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines who is it that's really out there on the street inside story on al-jazeera.
8:16 pm
the end of the and. you're watching al-jazeera a recap 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 there are reports that some hospitals are preparing to receive their 1st batches as an early as next week present to ship typo on has called on turks to boycott french goods on saturday or to one question president in manama cause mental health or his attitude towards islam and muslims around prompted france to recall its ambassador from turkey and. armenia and azerbaijan have accuse each other of violating a 3rd humanitarian ceasefire all 3 fell apart within just an hour of being announced a conflict is centered around the disputed region of mcgovern
8:17 pm
a kind of on. the edge. i was just 8 days to go until the u.s. election both campaigns are now focused on battleground states u.s. president donald trump is campaigning in pennsylvania he's expected to hit nearly a dozen states in his last ditch effort to recover the ground from his rival joe biden john hendren reports from dual 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 county a swing county that voted twice for george w. bush twice for barack obama it 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
8:18 pm
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 says. totally totally blew me away our president has done a good job. but are you going to get in or not i don't know and i hope he does. i don't think get a 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 playing going to be the candidate they could best beat donald trump there's a lot more enthusiasm and energy on both sides people didn't realize probably that
8:19 pm
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 odds 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 in part to have a serious touring some of the battleground states in america's midwest john reports from detroit michigan to find out what matters to voters in a trump majority county has to say right here on. meanwhile the republican
8:20 pm
controlled u.s. senate is expected to confirm president trump's choice so supreme court justice after a marathon all night session it caps off a spring to place any coney 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. now not says it has found water in one of the not just great is on the moon which can be seen from earth or agency confirmed water molecules on the sunday surface for the 1st time it hopes to put astronauts on the moon again by 2024 when i speak to leo and write about this he's a space and listen joins us from in france so you know we already knew that there was some water on the moon what's the significance of this for a discovery. this is very important because previous work in particular one has to say by the indian space agency they're wonderful try a challenge dry on missions certainly identified the possibility of water
8:21 pm
all across the moon which was in itself a stunning suggestion but the americans of done which is new is they have detected unambiguous lay water molecules slow to get it would appear a bowl of the lunar surface like a haze near clay vs crater which is as you say one of the biggest craters on the moon and i think a lot of science fiction fans will love this because clavey is based in 2000 the one a space odyssey was where the americans set up right there moon colony so what then can we learn from from the samples of the water and how accessible would this water be. this is the big question they have speculated that there is about $300.00 mills per cubic meter of water based on their measurements
8:22 pm
now what does that mean well that's roughly $300.00 mills of water if you true that into your washing machine which is roughly a cubic meter that would give you some idea of how much water there is a mother that is not an insignificant amount but the question is can astronauts women and men on the surface actually extract this water here and not say use the telescope to collect this data to tell us more about it. this is a very interesting collaboration between the americans and the german space agency it's been operating for a very long time and the instrument i have to say is an irish bomb the instrument that they used relied on the detector which was built in belfast northern ireland but what they've done is they've got me into the higher atmosphere and they've looked at the moon free of most of the interference of the earth's atmosphere and
8:23 pm
they've made this in the macula detection it's a very very good at it so novice planning to return astronauts in the morning 2024 deal the last moon landing way is what in 1972 why has it taken so long to get back . a lot of it is politics to be blunt and it's not unreasonable if you remember back to the apollo program now i know you can't but i think i covered this i stood i stood outside the gates of cape canaveral during the apollo program as protesters arrived from the poor people's march rouse abernathy and great leaders of the african-american movement in america protested the apollo program they said spend the money on the poor in america and that had an effect so the important thing about the current way in which people explore the cosmos is that in
8:24 pm
most political and today's particularly here in europe there's a political consensus before people start moving to do things and be blunt with you if donald trump does not get reelected president in a week's time there will be no moon landing in 4 years neo so interesting to talk about this thank you so much for your insight here and right space analyst joining our far from in france thank you for your time. now recent fighting between the taliban and government forces in afghanistan's helmand province has forced thousands to flee their homes it's also casting doubt over the prospects for peace despite ongoing talks in doha between the 2 sides. 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
8:25 pm
ripe tomatoes to survive. and the men try to help new arrivals like this widow from kudo's whose husband died in the fighting a bag of flour is all they could buy for her 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 as it 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 kabal camp since it was built 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
8:26 pm
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. the current 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 not fully resourced to respond adequately at this point of time the humanitarians are worried about providing sustained assistance over the winter and during the lean season so that we don't see a sudden increase in the numbers as we're seeing now from let's say between here
8:27 pm
and now so the more. funding and resources going to be provided the humanitarian response plan which targets the most and the beautiful and secure and also what an emergency needs the better the can predict that people may not fall into. york at the in the future the afghan government says it's priority is the newly displaced for those displaced for years and who may never return home the future appears as complex as the present. so we are responsible to get them on the list for land distribution and investigate if they are eligible if they are the ministry of rural rehabilitation and development is responsible to give them the land and the u.n. to build a house for them their winter is setting in and for the people of this camp the worry for now is how to survive the coming months if help doesn't arrive soon
