tanzania has been visiting polling stations in dar es salaam dodo mother copy told and zanzibar as well and they say voting in those polling stations and going to is going long small few people are waiting patiently in line but what they've also noticed is that voter turnout seems very low very few people are coming out to go but this is ali hours of polls close at 13 g.m.t. about the internet speed still very slow people i'm talking to in tanzania saying that services like what's up and you know messaging still a big problem we've seen a statement from one of the telecommunication companies to go to tanzania apologizing and saying that they are facing technique called he chose about the security. inspector general of police of tanzania issued a statement yesterday. warning giving a stun warning to anyone who's going to try to disrupt this election of course this

is in light of the violent incidents that happened in the last 2 days in the island of zanzibar so it is. quite tense though and with the huge security presence both in the mainland and in zanzibar nick what despite that warning the opposition is already saying that if the election is viewed as free and fair it will be decided on the streets and it is bracing themselves for more protests. already i'm seeing a lot of conversation in tanzania with people already saying that they are witnessing irregularities the main opposition candidate. it's a damn opposition candidate to least sent out a tweet us saying that he's also receiving we saw recent reports of widespread irregularities he's saying that opposition falling agents in some parts of being denied access to polling stations he says. the people are witnessing a lot stuffing as well and he's stating that that if this continues he is going to

call to action we have seen similar statements from the opposition party. but then we've also had from president when he was calling for calm calling for peace not just today but as people continue to wait for the results or catherine talks about cut through soil reporting from nairobi on these elections in tanzania time to be a country that was once a beacon of peace and stability in africa is facing a human rights crisis according to some critics diplomats the united nations or the world bank say that the president john mica really has stifled the media civil society and opposition groups the world health organization accuses the president of downplaying the coronavirus pandemic in particular his claim that the virus is defeated through prayer few election observers will be on the ground with some saying they weren't invited by the government in tanzania elections watch points to an increase in hate speech and the intimidation of confidence and that's pretty

notorious. africa researcher a human rights watch joins us now from kampala uganda via skype or and welcome to the program so the president vowed that these elections would be free and fair at the beginning of the it's pretty evident that they are absolutely not how concerned are you at what's going on in terms of their. well i think just to put it into context. there's been a large number of restrictions on. very key groups that would facilitate free and fair elections over. a very long period of time which is sort of intensified in the past few months leading up to the elections and that definitely race concerns this is something that we've been documenting over a period of time and have definitely definitely feel that it's it has a potential to detract from the how free and fair elections could be. the

opposition candidate at least who is calling for people not to accept the vote how worried are you about what could happen here what i am i can't predict what's going to take place in terms of the results or what people potentially do if that depending on what turns out following the elections but i think it's what we want to stress is the importance of respect respecting rights and ensuring accountability benyon rights abuses and that's something that has been very key and instrumental to to tanzania. progress as i mentioned little bit earlier times it is always been this perceived at this beacon of peace within africa what's happened since that. well unfortunately that situation has changed over the past couple of years. the government put in place several restrictions on those

goods that i mentioned earlier the opposition media and since i say it freedom of expression in tanzania is extremely restricted not just at this period in time around the elections but over the past several years. it's simply not as free as it used to be particularly in relatively little relation to neighboring countries and that's something that obviously. is very disappointing for many people that looks to towns and yet as an example of of of those qualities right in turn to be relations watch as you say a little bit earlier their point to an increase in hate speech in the intimidation of candidates is that something that you've been observing in the build up to these elections i mean i think certainly in the months prior to. election the campaigning period there were a number of arrests of opposition members and a lot of restrictions on position parties which is something better written out of

concern and which we documented and advocated against. that's not something that's huge least surprising. but again continue to stress the importance of ensuring an equal playing field and the respect for human rights at this very critical period of time met in this. very key country in the region already i'm. after researching your rights watch thank you very much. thank you. so the u.s. presidential candidates are making their final push to win every vote to switch just under a week to go until the election crisscrossing the country campaigning in battleground states more than 70000000 americans have already voted which is a record that could lead to the highest voter turnout in a century my kind of reports now from washington. a final frenetic week of

campaigning before election day president trump doing a swing through 3 of the states with polls indicate he's neck and neck with joe biden wisconsin michigan and the brusca attempting to remove one issue from the agenda at the beginning of the day tweeting fake news media is going full on. we are rounding the 99.9 percent. and he's attempting to reset the conversation around an economy he claims to have provided it's probably the number one reason that i'm standing here because of trade and we turn that around if 7. we're going to win the great state. we're going to win 4 more years in the way. but joe biden kept the discussion sent to don what he

describes as a trump administration's failure to deal effectively with the pandemic this administration has yet to offer a single plan that's one of the reasons why the most one of most prestigious medical journals in the world the new england journal of medicine called the president quote dangerously incompetent went on to say president turned a crisis into a tragedy i'm ready that act. i know what to do. biden spent the day in georgia which polls indicate has come strongly into play for the democratic party it's been a solidly republican state for decades but full clinton the last democratic candidate to take it back in 1992 the fact that democrats believe there's a chance of biden winning it is a clear sign of how the traditional electoral landscape is changing another good

sign for the democratic party is the massive number of votes that have already been cast close to 70000000 americans have already voted that's more than a half the number of total ballots cast 4 years ago but the biden campaign warns against complacency traditionally it's republicans who cast the most votes in person on election day a factor that could still tilt the balance mike hanna al-jazeera washington there's been a 2nd night of protests against police brutality in the u.s. city of philadelphia hundreds who demonstrated against the death of another black man at the hands of officers from philadelphia. protesters gathered at night to voice their anger over the police killing of a black man monday afternoon a killing they say did not need to happen cell phone footage shows police shooting 27 year old walter wallace jr police say wallace was wielding

a knife wallace his mother says her son had mental health issues and needed help and begged the police not to shoot him. the shooting comes in a year that's already seen mass protests against systemic racism and police brutality across the country was. anger frustration but also determination 3 words that come to mind as for the 2nd straight night protesters are on the streets calling for justice earlier in the evening another protest outside the police station near where the shooting took place karen school field who has lived in the neighborhood for over 40 years wondered why police had to shoot wallace so many times there what are you feeling right now. i feel her i feel . i feel that i have 3 my hands were and ok and what i'm seeing yesterday was good they killed ok i'm not saying i'm against

the police but there's the other way that we have a knife what happened to a taser what happened to shoot me in the kneecap ok i know i shouldn't have killed him ok we all guys children ok this is ridiculous others were calling for peace we don't want any. dangerous given station we don't want any looting we want people to channel day energies elsewhere where can you understand why there's so much anger on the streets with a young black man right now yes i can understand it because they are at risk did they did their being shot down know anybody was there about others but didn't know would be those that we that we will sort of protect the. so when you when you know kind of. can you turn to. there was however further outbreaks of isolated looting on tuesday night far away from the scene of the protests dozens of

people taking from a store in the north east to deceive. another black man dead in america anger on the streets police on the defensive and what has become an all too familiar cycle. philadelphia. including we look at how many living abroad are coming together to help their homeland during the conflict with us by john plus. i'm john hendren at ohio state known for picking u.s. presidents it might just do it one more time. details a parting shot from football clubs. all right america's top diplomat to china's ties with sri lanka and his latest all put it to the region sector state my pump has been discussing trade and security with sri lanka's foreign minister in colombia he's pressing the country to be

against what he called predatory lending and investment by china and china has accused the u.s. a bit of getting smaller nations will fernandez's this update now from. essentially this sort of rhetoric ratcheted up obviously in the run up to. basically the u.s. secretary of state in that address talking about that sort of predator kind of rule that china as he sees it is playing in sri lanka where he says that the u.s. comes as a friend now china has also been responding because right at the outset before the 2nd. came to south asia there were obviously briefings and one of the principal deputy assistant secretaries in his briefing said that the longer to make some difficult decisions but necessary ones to ensure and secure economic independence

obviously china took umbrage to that responded saying that the u.s. was basically interfering as well as violating diplomatic protocol and they basically accused the united states of having a sort of a called war mindset and sort of a. stick sort of a mentality and an attitude now the u.s. basically saying that they come as a friend wanting to see sovereignity for sri lanka wanting to see development and having that ability essentially to be in control of their future. well let's take a closer look at some of the investments china is making in sri lanka there's an awful lot of money piling in the biggest including new seaport airport in the south . dakota the china is also provided billions of dollars in loans for other projects including highways and past asians who happen to support projects is drawn protests

in the polls from those worried about china taking over private land united states argues the chinese funded project financially viable and the true lanka will have trouble paying back the loans well the high level chinese delegation. lanka just a few weeks ago the countries agreed to strengthen ties in agriculture in tourism and in other sectors so let's take this on let's begin to try to allow to hold who's an associate fellow in the asia pacific program at the think think tank chatham house welcome to the program so 1st up says that china is a predator china says the u.s. is a bully true likers in the middle how do they handle it and i think once again you know sri lanka becoming a familiar playground for international geo political rivalries so these rivalries have played out in the past between india and china and india and pakistan when it concerned heavy best winds in sri lanka when it concerned defense supplies to sri

lanka during. that the peak of the conflict in 2 company to 2009 that was started because that was good and so all this to say that this is not need this has happened in the prost there are serious concerns about china heavy investment in structural and economic investment into shila and how that places sri lanka into. severely indebted but they shouldn't it's ability to be off beat your hands so tell us a little bit more about that because that's one of the accusations that the u.s. is so what kind of restraints does that put her under and how long would they be in debt for. well essentially or you know one font is that on the investment that are directly into should aka and defeats ability of these investments in terms of actually contributing to sri lanka's economic growth it means untested and these are the mountains of infrastructural investment including the 4th and the one

daughter port that you mentioned but in addition to that should china investment into what is called the belt and route initiative which aims at linking linking asia and europe and beyond has caused a great deal of consternation between among the us and india and eighties the media and very only concern about china a string of pearls policy which is aids china creating its own pleads and deepening its own clean power and within the this region which have traditionally been allies of india and also of the us right it's all part of the hard reality of geopolitics if you like if you're a smaller player wanting to forge ahead like sri lanka or is in sri lanka needs investment china obvious place to go isn't it but on the other hand what can the united states offer what will pump be saying to them look made china behind come to

us what will they say that to encourage them to do that. but ideally the u.s. would be pressurizing shalon could 2 to amend gravity its human rights record which as a lot of us know who watch he has been sliding into treating massive so if should one cause true interests aren't hard for any of the international players around the would be pressurizing should not get to conform all and to respect the rights of its citizens and offer a more sustainable democracy but clearly that's not going to happen what is going to happen i think that there is scenarios at work here i think a level of what could be considered bullying there could be a defense deal is at stake here they could be pressure applied through india because they don't forget that bombay has just landed in sri lanka to striking. information sharing and data sharing. so these

a very concerted action on the part of 2 global players here to put. yet fantastic grades get your perspective we do appreciate that sort of just run out of time a lot to hold from chatham house in london thanks a lot now than a german chancellor angela merkel is reportedly considering tough new restrictions as corona virus infections hit record highs the latest daily tally recorded nearly 15000 new cases proposed restrictions include shutting bars cafes restaurants and limiting social contact with is slated to take effect on november the 4th let's get more on this from a bunker who's watching events from london $75.00 rates are rapidly rising it seems additional measures are coming in germany. you know that's right of the german chancellor angela merkel has blamed a lack of discipline for a steady increase in the infection rates there we know that she's going to be meeting the 16 leaders of germany's different states to discuss

a whole raft of new measures that will come into force 'd possibly as early as november the 4th including the closure of all balls and restaurants necessary so the german chancellor to bring the situation that the control a difficult situation is how she described it we also know that some schools are moving some lessons on line in on to supply ation that eventually they may need to close as well let's not forget that germany has often been seen as a leading lights in being able to deal with a coronavirus pandemic its secret weapon has already been is 400 or so health authorities across the country for some time germany has already had its own contact tracing system in place to deal with other illnesses such as measles so while other countries in europe were playing catch up germany appeared to be on top of the situation but given the rapidly increasing rates in infections one health

official in bavaria has described it as being like trying to stop an avalanche with his outstretched hands it's really the one german scientists the smoldering embers of summer have reignited to become an astute top far as that colorful description perhaps but it's a kind of it is certainly rig 90 across europe in the. it is amazing credibly difficult for governments across europe to work out what to do next how far to go to bring the situation under control all eyes are really on from because later on the day at 800 g.m.t. emmanuel mccrum the french president will address the nation the french government has been discussing the possibility of a return to a nationwide lockdown not quite as stringent as the 1st war because they are discussing the possibility that schools will still be allowed to open but measures that go far enough to bring the soaring infection rate under control that earlier

on in the week from recorded an infection rate of 52000 within the 24 hour period its highest yet although one leading scientist that involved as the french government believes the figure could be twice as high because some people simply don't get tested and some people are asymptomatic so france is waiting with bated breath to see exactly how far the french government is going to go very briefly in other parts of europe the czech republic is seeing soaring figures there a makeshift hospital is being constructed to deal with an influx of coronavirus patients and in italy after several nights of clashes between protesters and the police over the impact of lockdown measures that have seen bars and restaurants close as early as 6 pm giuseppi come to the prime minister is announcing a whole raft of measures relief measures to help beleaguered sectors of the italian economy made thanks to the need in london. now that turkish

industrial skyline rises from the ohio coast on lake erie and it's ohio's mix of industry agriculture and service jobs that make it a microcosm of the u.s. and that's what makes ohio the bellwether state. for decades all routes to the white house have gone through here ohio has voted for the winner in every presidential election since 1064 and they take voting seriously here i think it's most important especially if you want to see change no republican has ever won the presidency without 1st winning in ohio. at may holes bowling alley winning is the name of the game. here in suburban cleveland the diversity within international border the crowd leans toward democrats and away from president trump he's mentally imbalanced and he is a threat to the health and wellbeing of everyone on the planet i'm looking for

it might be released into the ocean. i think we can't hold off making a decision on the policy forever we will take us apart ability as a government to make a decision on how to dispose of the contaminated water possibly japan insists the water is treated to remove the most harmful radiation and that it is safe enough to release a claim disputed by environmentalists and it sparked strong opposition in northeast asia especially been known for we hope that the japanese government will act with a high sense of responsibility towards its own people neighboring countries. and the international community. most people in fukushima are opposed to the plan including local fisherman who fear their livelihoods could be devastated and people here believe it's only a matter of time before the radioactive water finds its way to these shores the

leaf family says even if discovered in the tiniest amounts any radiation in fish stocks would ruin its business. if there is even a slight problem it would harm not only trust in japan but also confidence in our fish so i think it's not just south korea but all countries that should be concerned nearly 10 years on from the devastating tsunami the legacy of it might be about to deliver another unwelcome shock rudd macbride al-jazeera jail and south korea. still ahead here and rolling out the red carpet but with little fanfare the cannes film festival premieres with precautions. coming up in 10 minutes or so and. celebration for these baseball fans is for the world series which is its conclusion.

whose the all. go let's go to sport is a big thank you so much nick while the los angeles dodgers of one baseball's world series for the 1st time in more than 3 decades the california team beating the tampa bay rays in 6 games to conclude a season heavily impacted by the coronavirus pandemic sal malik reports. this site seemed unimaginable a few months ago but off the delayed start to the season because of the corona virus and with numerous positive cases within teams constantly threatening the campaign major league baseball has finally crowned its champions the los angeles dodgers the we were everyone in this book one doctor who

everyone over the world where people who never wavered this is our year here's a cure sealing the time he was by no means easy though he said the dodgers having to come from behind victory in game 6 was the l.a. came alive in the 6th innings to the delight of the fans a limited number of spectators being allowed into the neutral venue in texas for the series the way. they witnessed mickey but place daryn role again to cap off what's been a memorable series split was fitting me his home which was the right to the 15th round of the postseason round of the scoring was the dodgers winning $31.00 finally ending that 32 year wait for the championship the it was yeah you know it's absolute phenomenal this team was incredible

off throughout the year all throughout the postseason all throughout corinth ino we never stopped when we were ready to go us or isabella's called and once it did we kept rolling. and overdue night of celebration for dodgers fans a sigh of relief for league organizers who ensured this season did finish with the world series winner. so helmet al-jazeera. was taught now to american sports broadcaster michael carlson joining us from from gilford in the u.k. michael just how much money as a painter to get this season finished and set to say at a world series being won and lost. i think it's pretty amazing given you know we were talking about this son al jazeera back in march in april when they were trying to come up with a plan that would please everybody and keep the players safe and there were a number of times when it looked like that might not even go into effect then when it did go into effect you had a player won so testing positive an hour before the season was about to start and

in the world series you had justin turner at the dodgers literally testing positive they got the results of the test back an hour before the finish of the last game so he played in the last game after 3 at bats he was taken out of the game because he had tested positive so we'll have to wait now you know a week or so to see what the effect of that is on both teams and just how good is this just saying of all they come very close to winning the world series in the last 3 or 4 years how good are they. they're very good and the book on them has been for you know the last decade or so that they were the best team in baseball consistently but couldn't finish off the world series nobody more so than clayton kershaw their star pitcher and he won 2 games in this series so that gets that monkey off of his back they were the best team in the league i think throughout the league and they're also the team with the 2nd highest payroll in

baseball whereas the tampa bay rays are the team with the 4th lowest payroll in baseball so really what it was a kind of david and goliath battle between these 2 teams the interesting thing being that the guy who runs the dodgers andrew friedman came to l.a. from the tampa bay rays and he's the guy who basically set up the formula the race used to consistently be contenders without a whole lot of money michael call center thank you so much for its imus that will have plenty more from mike in the coming days and weeks on show. now outgoing barcelona president joseph maria bazza mia claims he accepted proposals for the club to join a european super league discussions about the league to remain at an early stage though parts and i was facing a vote of no confidence after more than $20000.00 club members signed a motion to remove impassive face events in the european champions league a little later on and choose their own madrid scored twice in the final minutes to grab a point against brazil much england but goals from karim benzema are in their customary
