with new delhi. sudan ethiopia and egypt are expected to restart talks on the controversial project for president donald trump warns could lead to military conflict. a lot of his appeals to white identity politics really i think really appeal to a lot of people. mastering which again we look at the middle class counties and their concerns for next week's u.s. election. over the sport as paralympic sprinter blake leeper loses his appeal to use prosthetic legs to try to qualify for the pics but he plans to fight what he says is a racist decision. so we begin to start where an explosion has killed at least 8 people the blast happened a religious school in the city of bashar more than $100.00 others were injured in
1:02 pm
the blast let's cross thread awaits is watching the situation for us from the capital islamabad what is the latest going to growing toll of wounded and no claim of responsibility as yet. indeed no claim of responsibility and surprising move bedrail because it's any good taliban pakistan now saying that day condemn their sit back and their separate days were dead believed of course there would be suspicions that they may have had something to do with did they of course condemning it but at the same time what we have found out so far if it's to cage a device for you again the attack t.n.t. explosive very high powered explosives adjured time when the large ones unfold station and that mosque somebody with a man planted a bag and raised it appears it was their time there was and had devastating
1:03 pm
consequences but we're all sort of toward that day is it happening at that time when that national and you get it commander authority as a showed a nationwide warning of more attacks across the country at a time when the opposition is also protesting on the streets and on a day when pakistan is also commemorating what they call a black day dad a d.n.a. cation of kashmir back in 147 so indeed another deadly attack staying at for have their way maybe a new fresh wave of attacks across the country are commodifying so that took a more highly than give us the very latest kind information so far let's try and unravel a little more we can speak to as well as a who's a former pakistani ambassador to cutter joins us now from islamabad. so the we have condemnation from the pakistani taliban it seems that it's a sophisticated in a high powered device if it's not the pakistani taliban who could be.
1:04 pm

'd most certainly.
1:05 pm
the people out of some 'd of the pubs that are being made against me would be a wondrous and to sort of take of it in bottoms i think then you know tension on the block on would present the opposition not. to put pressure on the gunman to step down no one connection or it could be to do it in the process . because you know i'm. kind of tough on the file but i was and voted just on but i was part of the last couple of weeks and seen many of side. meat on part of the next year or so the wind down on these or in other words let's say you tenet a study group inc into sort of beach is not it looks like previously had the pakistani military launched a series of operations to displace the taliban in the northwest and it could well
1:06 pm
be that they would have to gear up in a similar way if these types continue. to grandad in news then obviously trying to stop coming up that it's from across the bada and then out of fans some the body but then so long kind of stuff. is that it does go up when it's done and be completed and i think i'm looking for all of that down in place no deep thought of a year particularly if i can find is not something the control of the government can be used by anyone against by his time so bent gone i'm so doing wonders i'm fluent i mean the extra. in the bottle it can stop so tournaments from crossing but on other countries in the pockets time imbalance time and you know k.p. . all right a complex situation absolute no doubt about that is that was it thanks very much indeed for your analysis on this thank you now a car bomb blast near
1:07 pm
a special forces unit in eastern afghanistan has killed 2 people fighting is ongoing in the city of cost afghanistan's interior ministry says $25.00 others were injured in the attack including 9 civilians no group has claimed responsibility at this point. now the u.s. secretaries of state and defense both in india seeking to boost military cooperation the my pumpin mark esper are expected to sign an agreement expanding information information sharing for military satellites and a stop in india as part of a 5 day asia trip aimed at strengthening strategic ties to counter u.s. chinese him from. the challenge of defeating the pen demick that came from also fed into our robust discussions about the chinese communist party. our leaders and our citizens see with increasing clarity that the c.c.p. is no friend to democracy the rule of law transparency in order freedom of navigation the foundation of a free and open and prosperous indo-pacific i'm glad to say that the united states
1:08 pm
navy are taking steps to strengthen our cooperation against all manner of threats and not just those opposed by the chinese communist party. well let's cross or curse one of this program who's in the indian camp of new delhi for some is clearly very much a new tree beneficial. absolutely nick said this was the 3rd time the u.s. secretary of state of defense have come to india to take part in what's called this india u.s. 2 plus 2 dialogue and this time around they managed to sign the 4th and final of what's called these foundational foundation defense agreements between the 2 countries this one which allows the sharing of high end military technology maps and satellite data is one that's eluded previous u.s. governments because the previous government in power and india the congress and to
1:09 pm
sign such an agreement they for it would be giving up something of its strategic autonomy but the trumpet ministration is one that's very close to the b j p government here in india and they decided that to expedite the signing of this deal when president trump wants india in february so this is very much a sin the defining of the defense relationship between the 2 countries of course it's coming at a time when relations between india and its neighbor china have been at an almost all time low that something that secretary of state might pompei referred to in his address he referred to the killing of 20 indian soldiers in june the 1st death along that border in 45 years and he said that the u.s. stands with the people of india really interesting both the u.s. officials singled out china spoke about what they said but china's increasing aggression destabilizing moves the indian officials didn't use such language they said things like that that asia had to be multi-polar and that is not surprising
1:10 pm
given that talks between indian and chinese officials are ongoing to try to resolve that border standoff or lived with for a month thanks very much. tension has been growing between india and china recent years they have a decades old border dispute that's flared up again recently 20 indians in an unknown number of chinese soldiers were killed in a skirmish in june india has restricted the actions of many chinese companies dozens of popular chinese apps including we chatted to cooking banned over security concerns and chinese companies face restrictions when it comes to government contracts china also shares close ties with india's other major rival that is pakistan beijing is pakistan's main arms supplier and the 2 have lowell had a close military and security relationship. l.s.p. now it's in it and got close who's the founder and editor of struct news joins us now from new delhi and 1st up how important is india to the

united states in its ongoing faceoff with china and how does it all sort of fold into the to the region diplomatically. well you know relations i don't i don't an all time low as you know and therefore a lot of the united states also is not. on very good goals with china therefore what india and the united states have something in common there. were 2 works and of course that depends relationship is something that they have been working on for the last 50 years so it is a point of united states who have you know. on its side. and. its white audience on this program. and specially. and of course now during the course of the so with the u.s. and india developing this defense relationship as we put it to what degree do these
1:12 pm
stronger diplomatic and military ties alter the balance of power in the region. well it does all of that in fact that's something that china has been very very and has been no warning no on countries but don't need me in there sometimes that i need. newspapers and student news because of course that make it really obvious where they want india not to go and join a aligns with the united states are not have the who are becoming the very at the borders of course the google for united states india japan australia so our china is randy and i is. suspicious about what the form of japanese prime minister of be accorded if there are lines of democracy it's going to go up against john her and her people are going to get into question i don't

some pads protesters have gone to the street they're lighting tires and throwing stones police this pos to them are using tear gas and this protesters are mostly supporters of the opposite main presidential opposition candidate malim safe sharif was arrested this morning at a polling station 2 days advance polling. special groups like special security forces election officials people with disabilities and so on so police saying that this opposition candidate had no business being in a polling station that he's not designated as a special group so he was arrested and he's still in police custody so he supporters on the streets saying that they believe that the this advance voting today is going to be manipulated so they're very very angry indeed it's very tense in some parts of zanzibar tower and security has been beefed up the police have
1:17 pm
blocked the main routes to pauling stations and in the last few weeks we've also seen huge deployment of military passive. chance we've been seeing tanks being driven across streets in that town you've also spoken to the regional police commissioner who have said that things on the control and at the polling stations voting is going along smoothly now going back to your question about pemba that's true it is an opposition stronghold we have seen violence play out in previous elections but still a lot of people all human rights organizations are condemning what is happening there also just seen a statement from the u.s. ambassador in tanzania who's asking security forces. to exercise restraint is saying that they should be calm i mean zanzibar is known to have violent elections and people are concerned that this is just going to get worse and the tensions as just continue building up ahead of the big day the big election day tomorrow right
1:18 pm
a critical election of course for president musharraf really how close could it be . present mughal fully is the favorites to win and i mean the opposition candidate his main opposition opponent. has been saying that he doesn't believe that this election is going to be free and faces even the election is fair that he's going to win and he also told al-jazeera in a previous interview that he is going to call for mass action leave his vote is stolen if the vote is rigged and today in the main and present mughal fully is expected to give a televised presidential address and he's expected to talk about peace he's been doing it in a previous campaign saying that this should be a peaceful election to do list so is expected to also hold his last rally in dar es
1:19 pm
salaam he's accused mughal fully of being a dictator but a lot of people we've talked to in tanzania are ordinary times are saying that they won this election to be free fair transparent credible and to go on smoothly and to be peaceful catherine thanks for that sort of reporting from nairobi. now. expected to resume negotiations over a controversial dam project on the river nile after 3 months suspension you have communion mediated told full of u.s. presidents warning that the project could spark military action from egypt ethiopia has accused of inciting war of the he said that egypt's might blow up the. well ethiopia built the grand relations dam on the blue nile which is the source of most of the novel's waters egypt to sudan downstream depend heavily on it and fear their water supplies could be put at risk ethiopia says a hydropower the dam will produce is essential for its economic growth the $4600000000.00 project has caused nearly
1:20 pm
a decade of tension between all 3 countries ethiopia denies egypt and sudan's claim that it's down will control the flow of africa's largest river and aims to provide electricity for 70 percent of its population both cairo and khartoum fear this will restrict the only source of water they rely on for nearly 150000000 people the main disagreement is the time it will take to fill the town's reservoirs which will affect the flow of water downstream ethiopia says it will take 5 to 7 years to complete support egypt has proposed 12 years instead and while egypt and sudan want a final agreement to be legally binding and to refer future disputes to 3rd party arbitrated ethiopia prefers to settle through negotiations among the 3 countries but now tell him ahmed who's the president of the world association for sustainable development joins us now from london with welcome to the program so let's look at it here pick calling this a national triumph that will lift millions out of poverty in egypt saying that will have a devastating impact on their economy in sudan worried about the amounts of water
1:21 pm
discharged daily and the threat to smaller dams downstream all couched in this kind of colonial agreement with the british back in the day in another age that guaranteed egypt waters you do wonder looking in from the outside what it will take to break this deadlock. thank you for inviting me we have spoken quite a lot about this is a boss and the basics of these problems and the fundamentals are still there number one the transparency about the technique and assessment their risk the security of this down is still and there are serious questions and even this is not of company fair trade this you be and many people have argued for this you begin to really observe fights and i think least i have said the 7 times in your journey here that's we've sort of part of the problem because then we'll be talking about scientific career because when you see these as
1:22 pm
a risk already they've any huge problems going to happen in the box as quick and you cite this site is being argued to be quite dangerous it might destroy these countries downstream egypt but to get saddam secondly i think if you look back 10 years ago when european and now as they have building this dam sudan government and they gyptian government they said they were shocked and they just beat you have no idea so the basics of building such a midget broaddrick in a continent like africa need to have a huge come some patients but given that we have a fact now we have a big projects already 75 percent icing or even the percent has already been built huge amount billions about and have been spent they have lots of stakeholders he ate looting johnnie's and other hundreds we need to look to that reality and i have always said this should be always treated as an african affairs and it got
1:23 pm
only beauties on african affairs so how helpful it was neighbors how helpful is it on that basis that the u.s. president steps in and says you know we get it it may well blow up the debt. interestingly this is statement has to cite from one side it's extremely in not helpful but it's in response to me from a sitting president like donald trump to make this statement which is simply saying it is it could be a war between you and this is absolutely not acceptable diplomatically or from all aspects of the norms of the governance of countries and international relations international is not helpful but it's the same times some people can see us come forward because it gives a clear warning to can increase that the really have to take this issue seriously as a safety risk and i think it's a clear warning off of the sudanese government that they should take this issue seriously because the sudanese have be seen over the last many months and years of
1:24 pm
negotiation very cool the release you peons they have ignored their risk assessment . the safety of this project so it's a warning to both countries. sudan that they should take this issue seriously because egypt has been very active in trying to resolve it be a should know be in getting a clear if you like a warning about the importance of cobra thing to reach a solution and the sudanese government is getting a clear warning that they should get their risk assessment the safety of its people seriously not expand well water supply and not level water supply on that level presents a huge geo political problem doesn't it and it's going to take some time for it to be resolved but we appreciate the time thanks very much andy. now but you know dash is the latest muslim nation calling for a boycott of french for those the growing protests followed french president emanuel micron's recent controversial comments on islam protesters in dhaka
1:25 pm

1:26 pm
couldn't go since then it was dispersed there's been protests in the dr university campus yesterday and the social media has been very active just to give you in context i mean these are not just slamming parties already people who are protesting the common people there saying. french has a double standard it says that it is not ok to carry catch a prophet muhammad by child anyone for that matter and french president stand off saying that islam as a religion is radicalized and also all these things has put people in social media in a stance saying that france and other countries put freedom of expression as a defense but when it comes to groups like jewish grobe saw the holocaust and things like that are not you are not able to criticize so then it should be the same for islam because he is the most revered person for one over 1000000000 people and it is a blast maybe to carry. depict him in any form now this movement
1:27 pm

well in the u.s. election dollar terms victory 4 years ago it was partly due to the upset in the usually democratic state of michoacan to be reelected next tuesday the president will need to win in the state's largest counties such as might come in the suburbs of detroit some of the mainly middle and upper class voters have been explaining what issues concern them to al-jazeera is john. mccomb county in suburban detroit is auto country it's also home to the reagan democrats who switched parties in 1980 to vote for ronald reagan and after voting twice for barack obama it switched again in 2016 devoted republican donald trump. mccomb county which sits between 2 great lakes lake huron in lake erie is scenic patriotic middle class and overwhelmingly white in the last election trump resonated here and 2016 pledged he would not cut medicare medicaid or social security very different from other republican
1:35 pm
candidates and i think that combined with a lot of his appeals to white identity politics really i think really appealed to a lot of people in mccomb county. trump inspires tributes on land and water and a rare devotion among supporters to the greatest president we've ever had in my lifetime he has made so many promises and he's kept more promises that he's made which is never happened ever as i believe in his policies he's gotten the job done so far he's pro-life he's everything i believe in. the 2020 election will test whether he's still popular here despite the coronavirus and an economic collapse his democrat joe biden's campaign workers canvassed the county early train out our camera for more he leads trump handily in recent polls what's changed is this mask the epidemic here and has been very difficult we have lost over a 1000 people to call that the president doesn't have

1:52 pm
miss you know we're in a weird time for sporting events and so this is our chance to really really go out there and kind of make things more if we get to do this and we get to go i think i'm p. and you know everything runs smoothly you know other countries other competitors other passage with well you know they've created a way that it's safe english premier league football team said to decide on choose day whether to scrap a controversial policy to charge fans extra to watch games on t.v. this game was brought in earlier this month and so far there have been nothing to paper a few games for which supporters have had to pay just over $900.00 to watch newcastle united owner mike ashley says the premier league must rethink the policy or drop the price by at least $2.00 thirds in the u.k. france is still on able to attend matches at stadiums because of the current virus pandemic and since june all games have been free as part of existing football packages but that will change the table with the introduction of the $19.00 charge
1:53 pm
for some matches 19 out of 20 premier league clubs initially backed the scheme as a way of generating extra revenue as they wait for supporters to be allowed to return to the stadiums but some fans have chosen to boycott and donate to charity instead liverpool supporters raised over $156000.00 for a local food bank instead of watching the team's $21.00 victory of the sheffield united on saturday let's bring in a piece global sports correspondent rob perez who's right across this story rob what exactly is being discussed at this meeting today. well actually the 2 challenges facing that moment are being discussed you've got the looming formalisation of the party in the european union which will affect the ability of premier league clubs to find foreign players from next year and the more immediate challenge is the impact of the pandemic which is key can fans out the stadiums and denying clubs that crucial match day revenue and at the heart of all this is the
1:54 pm
fact that all matches are not normally screened live on television in britain unlike international where you can watch all $380.00 you wherever you are generally and that means that when special procedures to allow fans to be able to see games they can go into stadiums to watch but the issues become just how they broadcast the bank because the premier league has been wrecked and you've given them away to the existing brought theirs and the club will claw back revenues are losing out on match day and they came up with a bigger hulking 95 and has gone down so badly that they ought to stop at the meeting today in terms of just what they do going forward with shutting the game and can't get into and it looks like at least until the international break which is next month they will continue with the arrangement which means at least on a game for the next 2 rounds will continue to be on pay per view only in britain and even some of the broad custis charging for the games seem to be uncomfortable
1:55 pm
with it thanks. yeah yeah games are being shown by sky which led by comcast and bt and they will merely show games part of their standard description packages but they're not really promoting these extra pay per view games and in fact during last night's sky monday night programme gary neville before matches the knights in england played some pundits and we all know him so well now was very critical he thinks not really paid or even watching these matches and it should be scrapped the pay per view the problem is is what you know how you actually take this going forward and mike ashley a suggested perhaps a $3.00 or $490.00 follow 8 would be more meaningful and perhaps if they had answered at a lower price point it would have gone down back so we've found who have actually you know mentioned that backlash may have started to raise money for food banks to help most impoverished rather than pay they set the amp for what they obviously and
1:56 pm
there was no sign yet when returns as well that was going to be my next question about the when all we expecting fans to attend to the games at any time this season any indication of that. well initially the government had set the probably going to part of france for tourney in october but the 2nd way the increase in coronavirus cases is really who plans on hold and the premier league are really campaigning with the government to let the fans back in particularly seeing the fact that indoor events like the it says and even cinemas are open and cinemas are even able to show matches that france can't go into statements for so indoors has been deemed safer than help the venue so it's an inconsistency which is great seen with the premier league and it will leave the probably the government have acknowledged the problem is as very new restriction for the more homes across the country same way
1:57 pm
it's looking very hard to see how the government can start to allow thousands of people to start gathering in venue's but so much throughout this has been dictated to by the virus and of course of the spread of that 19 robert harris a.p. global sports correspondent thank you very much for giving us your take a moment. and italy said he as latin abraham of 8 scored twice for ac milan on monday but that could not prevent them from dropping points for the 1st time this season it rained if it has now scored 6 goals in 5 games and that's despite spending some time out talk to testing positive for corona virus the 39 year old swede's 2 goals helped his team school 3 on the night but their opponents remember just as determined 33 the final score in this match is still top of the standings. all right that is all useful for now more later nic. thanks very much indeed for
