and world leaders this is only the beginning. arguing fiercely over control of the latest wireless technology the truth about 5 g. on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for again this is the use of live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes rescue team search for survivors as at least 14 people are killed after a strong earthquake rattles turkey and greece. the earthquake triggered a tsunami warning seawater flooded coastal towns across the aegean. 18 years in prison for 2 men who helped al-shabaab gunmen carry out the westgate mall attack in nairobi. memorials are held
9:01 pm
across france for the 3 victims killed in a my for talk of a church in nice. that is unique species come under threat in the antarctic and study what scientists want to do to save them. a magnitude 7 earthquake in the aegean sea has rattled parts of turkey and greece at least 14 people have been killed and 400 injured after many buildings collapsed rescue teams are desperately searching for survivors is a live picture from turkey's is mere province al-jazeera shallop ballasts reports. the. risk used search for survivors in the rubble of buildings in his mia to the biggest city. a friday afternoon magnitude 7 earthquake was off the turkish
9:02 pm
coast. i have a shop on the back side i was talking with someone i felt that while we were outside the ground started to shake while i was watching. are building a hole this one collapse isn't is misleading at least 20 buildings collapsed injuring dozens. or hundreds of. this man says god you are the greatest please protect us it still continues. and the chintzy responders are travelling to support risk you with it all residents are asked not to jam phone lines or transport links unnecessarily. i thought that the ground to chatter to you cannot think or you try to do is get out everywhere was collapsing luckily our building was intact we were really panicked and managed to get out at the last minute the quake caused damage in many provinces in wiston turkey and triggered a sea suge the flooded streets near the city of his man. some damage was also
9:03 pm
reported to buildings and roads on the greek island of sawmills hospital direct to the scene some people with light injuries had been treated the trim that was also felt in istanbul you know we we are hoping that the numbers will not be escalating and we hope to hear the news about more people being rescued but the fact that some 20 buildings have collapsed is. a big news and i'm afraid the number of casualties may rise. crisscrossed by major fault lines turkey is one of the world's most earthquake prone countries at least 700000 people were killed in 1909 when a large quake struck the city of izmit southeast of the stamboul and around 500 people died in an earthquake which struck the eastern city then 9 years ago but they said craig about 6000 people live in the area of severe shaking 71000 in the area a very strong shaking of 3200000 in the area of strong shaking rich implies that in
9:04 pm
fact the number of casualties is likely to rise possibly substantially but one thing is that since 999 has evolved a pretty good network of search and rescue units now residents in tokyo and on nearby greek islands have been warned of aftershocks and through the damage they might bring shallop ballasts 0 moderate us ago is a senior earthquake seismologist at the british geological survey she joins us now live via skype from athens greece could sadly with a sense you feel this the earthquake there in athens. yes i did we are quite. clear the will be act as that it was it is an instance are what many people actually non-fans went outside of there be rings at the moment. it was a strong earthquake a magnitude 7 what was it about this trauma that was able to collapse buildings in
9:05 pm
the way that it did and it's been. well let's recap how bad happened today so we had the magnitude 7 are right. for think you know there's shore do the i don't go somewhere else in greece. we know that the can also. which corresponds to the sun siding on out so. absolutely had the extensive damage the day it also seems that there will is more extensive damage of the mom and in the church piece called. why don't we understand this moment of the ark or a strong. damages are out so really the breathing standards have no it's an extra ok as a seismologist how how long would you expect off to shocks to continue after a quake of this magnitude before surely as the 6 we continue for the months to come especially for the 1st few days. quite often
9:06 pm
this shaking experienced by events suck the salt and even exceed in them days there remain so so people that their e.r. narry want to know where that summer. and the term peace coast has been known to be an arctic region from the start i found as as we were hearing in the report just a few moments ago the region sits upon a number of fault lines is was there anything in your work to suggest that a quake may have been added i know it's impossible to say that to predict earthquakes or say that they're evident but was there anything to suggest that activity along those fault lines was was increasing. no we are very far at the moment from earthquake relief in. that we can mold the what we could estimate if you wish use the office of distribution
9:07 pm
time and space so for this we. have informed that. if you say the future but at the moment i have to. be you know we are certain that earthquake prediction these many out of of course there was nothing i not only in some ways but globally there is nothing that will let us know before hand but the bigger it would be but having ever having had such a such a big quake you'd feel pretty certain that they'll be more seismic activity in the near future so we know from what you experience. in size more lives that they're out there in maine so there are plenty of box of sorts that's fallen on and they're orange not if you want the fault of all you use expanding in space these are also. the earth
9:08 pm
redistributes and finally new battens so in finding peace in your balance many times at neighboring faults common could be a and as we say they're acting they. cannot exclude that possibility but for sure it is something that he has to be seen longer than next few days really got to talk to many thanks indeed for explaining that for a small. athens. is the u.n. coordinates i could search and rescue explain the challenges facing the current rescue operation in israel. we have several regional teams in the region that went in started to their watering areas assessment and then out of $28.00 of our teams across the country none of them were activated to deploy in a region for initial assessments. it looks like currently that the collapses are sporadic and in particular this disk in the city only so it's in bor noble and
9:09 pm
directly but the rest of the city currently does not seem to have any mass collapses and so it looks like the local response will be sufficient for the time being there could be survivors up on. stuff more toward the surface of the class structure so they can be helped out by their neighbors usually in in situations or structural collapse the 1st 72 hours the neighbors in the neighboring and people in the area help there they're the ones out of the rubble but other than that for people who are lower down and at the end the structures then. canines are the number one go to tactic here because canines can be very effective in locating. the senses and smells of people trapped in the rubble we also have a sensitive audio and visual equipment we can magnify the sounds coming out of the rubble for up to about
9:10 pm
a 1000000 times. this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program taking sides in the war next door look at how the crisis in the border cutback is affecting elections in georgia plus. a monday gallacher in florida well we'll be looking at why former felons have to fight so hard to and then write to them. and some of the best surfers in the world couldn't tame these colossal waves off the coast of portugal far will be here with that and the rest of the sports a little later. tonight have been sentenced to 18 years in prison for their role in a shopping center attack 7 years ago at least 67 people were killed in the 4 day siege of the westgate mall in nairobi the pair jailed were convicted earlier this month of helping al-shabaab fighters storm them all but attack came 2 years after
9:11 pm
kenya's government sent troops into neighboring somalia where is based on his ear as catherine sawyer reports from nairobi. this is a case that has taken quite a long time to conclude it started in 2013 right after that attack on the westgate mall here in the city nairobi 4 or assailants of that attack were all killed by security forces but this 2 men one in the dock today were found guilty of helping and supporting that crime and today the lawyers presented their final statements with the defense asking for leniency saying that the men have conducted conducted themselves well in the duration of this case also saying that the wrote their role in that attack was very small was peripheral we also had from the convicts and solve also asking for mafia and insisting that they are innocent the prosecution on
9:12 pm
the other side hans said no matter how small their role was 67 people were killed and that trumps everything chief magistrate francis and i agreed with the prosecution sentencing the 2 men to 33 years and 18 years respectively. for the offense of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act in count number 2 each of the accused person see sentenced to serve 18 years imprisonment for the fence of knowingly giving support for terrorism in cover number 3 for the 1st accused person and account number 12 for the 4th accused person each will some have 18 years in prison for the offense of being in possession of an article connected with the terrorism of friends in count number $5.00 and $6.00 again is the 1st accused person he sentenced to serve 15 years imprisonment and therefore putting together 18 years plus 15 you get $33.00 we check every 7 you get what you get that's the sentence that would sound right after
9:13 pm
that ruling we talked to the defense lawyer who said there will be appealing that sentence and we've also been speaking to a survivors of the westgate atop with been speaking to those who lost their loved ones and they've been watching a very keenly what's been going on and they're happy that justice has been served after such a long time they're hoping that finally they may just get their closure. so joel so being held in france in honor of 3 people killed on thursday in an attack at a church in nice people who believe in candles and flowers at the gates to the city is not. the suspect in the attack is in custody investigators say that is from tunis here that arrived in europe last month on the italian island of lampedusa david schaper reports from nice. outside the basilica in nice streams of people are still coming to pay respect to those who lost their lives and pray for their grieving loved ones a sense of shock and dismay here that terrorism has once again blighted their city
9:14 pm

9:15 pm
when his request for asylum was refused. in this war against islam is there because we are now speaking about war and war has been declared it is necessary to win the fight because i think the people of france want protection they want this to change the method i think it's time to promote constitutional reform to. the french want to animal for those we know as dangerous people here in nice police have arrested 47 year old man who's been accused of providing the knife man with a mobile phone and i found himself is now in hospital being treated for serious bullet wounds surrounded by the police on the eve of all saints day the congregation are determined to continue with their services despite the horror witnessed here their prayers will be to victims and their grieving families 1st so look as the father of 2 daughters aged 21 and 25 who worked as

9:19 pm
up ammunition near as very fighters which suggests that buckaroos forces are close to the city fighting in the region has intensified in recent days diplomats from the 2 countries have been preparing for more talks to try to end the conflict after 3 failed ceasefire attempts not far away as a zombie is said to be closing in on the key town of shushi to go to cutbacks separatist leaders says the very troops have advanced to within 5 kilometers it is urging people there to help resist the attack was sure she's long played a pivotal role in the goto calabar conflict it overlooks the regional capital stop on a kurd and it's from there that azerbaijan shelled the city in the 1st nagorno-karabakh war it also sits on the main highway connecting armenia to step on it goes out zeros hoda abdel-hamid reports now from baku. there hasn't been any official announcement coming out of here about show whether the syrian army is actually
9:20 pm
heading towards that area i was speaking to with a top commander of the army earlier today and he wouldn't confirm any of the news coming out of armenia he didn't deny it either but then he said at the end of the day it's no secret we have said that we want to take back all our. territories so that means the 7 disparate surrounding they're going to care about and eventually nagorno karabakh itself and if you look at what's happening the reality on the ground a few days ago as ever gen announced that it wasn't coup but is now is basically south of the light chain corridor which is key for me. because that's with resupplies nagorno-karabakh as ever gen army has been making advances at a formidable pace over the past few weeks is now trying to i think this is really it has to calculate very well what it's going to do next because basically once they get the election corridor and shusha. armenia will be in
9:21 pm
a very tough position anything north of that it's. also considers occupied territories is a very amount in this area is not very there's not many people there. would be very difficult according to there were just to put up a fight there. let's hear now from rich allen susan armenia's capital yet over. well certainly these are difficult difficult days for. nobody here would have thoughts just a month ago that within a few weeks as a by johnny forces would have been knocking on the door of shushi itself it's a big blow i think for the armenians what are they saying at the moment though. this 1st attack by the azerbaijani forces has been pushed back. they are saying as well that this is going to be a very difficult place for the azerbaijani forces to take it's essentially
9:22 pm
a kind of mountain citadel it's it's it's on a rocky outcrop and getting up those steep sides to the city itself is going to be very very difficult the army saying that yes things have been bad before in the 1990s was. things were looking very grim there for their forces but they managed to turn it around and eventually prevail they are hoping that in. president of us about john's promise to his people that he will take back the entire city of new going to karabakh and the surrounding areas john that he's essentially over promised and this is leading him to rush a military assault leaving azerbaijani troops overstretched and overexposed and therefore vulnerable to counter attacks but they know they are my armenians that they have lost significant territory in recent days and weeks well this is the most violent share up of the region in the region since the 2 former soviet republics
9:23 pm
went to war between 1988 in 1904 so what does each side have at its disposal well the as any army is bigger than me is as my john has 66000 active troops when armenia has just 45000 as also has the advantage when it comes to weaponry baku can field over 600 tanks compared to armenians for. 500 amenia doesn't have a fighter aircraft and relies on the protection of a russian air force group as a by sean is the stronger in the air with fighter jets and more attack aircraft and helicopters but its drone warfare that appears to be shaping the battlefield this time as a by john has openly bragged about its use of advanced turkish drones both sides of amassing their own fleets that the exact numbers on the phone and speak to were dumb until a cyber mosul is a lecturer in security in development in the department of war studies at king's
9:24 pm
college london she's joining us now via skype from london so it's clear that militarily at least one side has the advantage over the other in this conflict. yes i think as was described by your reporters on the ground by johnny the military have been quite effective especially in the last week or so to finally take quite a required significant amount of of land on the southern fringe is of karbala allowing need to control again the border between a semi john on iran and other north towards the election corridor and from your reporting also threatening or shoe shop i know some sort of from the novels also trying to advance. towards our kind of tenshi other regions neighboring amin yet so on the situation from the armenian point does of view our military is very dire. and more than anything i'm sure there is a sort of a sense of
9:25 pm
a foreigner in that in their moron or in the perception that this would never sort of happened i think that i'm unions and that are about hom union spent that they had a substantially sort of solid line of defense. and the fact that it sort of crumbled relatively easily is there is every a shock to them however i think that as was also pointed by your quote correspondence i think they're going to be challenges there is a with the possibility of counter-attacks and the nature of the terrain itself the high of the high sort of hills or rocky high hills make it harder to actually capture and keep these during. budget and the big the big question is what actually russia will do and whether russia will announce a complete defeat of medians in kind of ah and i think in that respect it's going
9:26 pm
to as well as what it what happens of. takes the lesser included or which which we were hearing about from our correspondents a few moments ago. yes i mean that would be a significant defeat for kind of a major blow because that's the main area where of connection of road connection between kind of behind the media and it is through these land corridor that supplies are provided to. from i mean you have been to and that would result unite the further sort of encirclement of kind of awe and making it much harder to receive support military support from longing you're directly it's not impossible because you don't read the happened during the 1st war it was only in may 1900 joules that i mean you have managed to sort of open this corridor but there are already in the months of 1902 a car bomb is were able to make
9:27 pm
a significant and i bounces off because there is a huge difference that today doesn't budge on the army's much more effective better equipped it has a very sort of effective. drones and. vehicles that are able to operate and to destroy. i mean empty fences i mean artillery i mean infantry and tanks and that really raises a lot of questions about the nature of warfare in the in the immediate future i think again the big question now is in you know how you know what russia we do one with a rush rush apparently has now a sort of a presence a military presence very close to the election corridor. and always a sign that if further advances that made in that area and the russians i hate that could trigger a russian intervention i am of the view that russia will not let this completely
9:28 pm
not the armenians completely collapse but maybe i'm wrong but at the moment we we're probably going to face you know that for attention of massive humanitarian. refugees and disasters that's really where the focus should be now let's talk to many thanks to the to the server most of the 11. well me and azerbaijan's nearest neighbor is feeling the ripple effects of the conflict over the gold okada back on saturday georgia will elect a new parliament as early and armenian minorities make up 10 percent of the population that's enough to potentially influence the outcome so some parties are trying to win votes by taking sides in the war next door. for us to walk or reports now from the mixed districts of money lead. municipality is a patchwork of ethnic diversity on georgia's border with armenia and azerbaijan here ethnic georgian as ery and armenian voters must choose who will best represent
9:29 pm
their interests in saturday's parliamentary election historically the people of my have tended to vote collectively and that's why it's tempting for politicians to find an issue that resonates with the community as a whole and at the moment the one issue on everyone's mind is the war across the border between armenia and azerbaijan. is an army and village vegetable farmer katherine says he'll vote for the government. and so at every if that group there is pine in our hearts because war brings nothing good civilians are dying they are here we are friends i have a serious neighbors in georgia neighbors and we have brotherly relations. officially the georgian government has taken a neutral position on the conflict of the middle taleban mindful that it could inflame tensions between its minority communities and their daily struggle surely
9:30 pm
but george's largest opposition party the united national movement has taken sides it's need a ship says that karabakh belongs to azerbaijan. it hopes to win votes in places like modern newly 80 percent of the population identify as ethnic as areas how is it if there is a local radio station the d.j.'s know how important that is for azeri listeners it was pleasing fly's aries to hear it and for some it will be a decisive factor today people expect you to have a position where you can't have neutrality. back in the village of telly youth leader says he doesn't like politicians who play with ethnicity i've never. it myself a minority on the contrary i'm a citizen of georgia pure and simple and his team ironically he sponsored by the state oil company as if i join. the village needs development roads paving
9:31 pm
arranging a stadium and more and in my opinion this is the principle for which people should go to the polls newly is a political battleground but i'm like across the border at least all georgian citizens here have a chance to vote in peace robin 1st year walker al jazeera modern newly. we are just past the midway point of this news out we'll get a weather update next and then dozens of bodies are found dumped in a mass grave in mexico we'll tell you why the search for more remains may be far from over. new zealand has have their say on 2 big questions legalizing euthanasia allowing the recreational use of cannabis but in sports the forefront is the best place in the playoffs and they did it in style football action coming up a little later with far.
9:32 pm
from. the weather set fire across the middle east at the moment selasi class got plenty of sunshine pleasant temperatures as well we've got a little more cloud having said that up towards the western side of turkey which was the black sea and that's going to just make its way a little further east which as we go through the next day or so just spinning out of the aegean sea running across turkey up saying want to 2 of these showers just stretching their way into the far north of syria but nothing too much to speak of spot so 2 of rain possible around lebanon as well little more clout there pushing up into that western side of iraq's attempt just down east and dice that it's just a pleasantly warm there for baghdad there in doha temperatures getting upset a very pleasant 31 degrees celsius and they in light winds so we'll see some he
9:33 pm
said weather was to go on through the next dial so a little further south we've got the showers continuing across central parts of africa could see rather more just running towards somalia some showers just edging their way into eastern parts of kenya pushing inland as well plenty of showers there around the rift valley over towards the gulf of guinea in h.s. increased missionary right pushing into that eastern side of south africa over the next dial to untelling kula in job. they wanted 43000000000 pounds worth of weaponry that was 6000000000 pounds in commission. there is no hope of any more because there's always a small cobbles people for war really really good business. in essence we in the united states have privatized the ultimate public function more shadow on
9:34 pm
al-jazeera. examining the impact of today's headlines of a scale from 0 guns just a mistake but we don't feel safe here setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions my blackberry my will as the smile became as they weaponize international film makers and world class journalists tell us how and why the textile and fashion industry is a major force of polluters bring programs to inform and inspire you for now just 0 . 0. it is good to have you with us hello adrian figure here in doha with the news out
9:35 pm
from up 0 the headlines a strong earthquake in the achaean sea a shaken prosper turkey in greece the magnitude 7 quake collapsed buildings and caused a seesaw which flooded streets across the aegean. the earthquake has killed at least 14 people greece's prime minister has called turkey's president to offer his cooperation despite their political differences. to better been sentenced to 18 years in prison for their role in the westgate mall attack in nairobi at least 67 people were killed in this 4 day siege 70 years ago. with just 4 days to go until the u.s. election a record breaking 80000000 americans have already cost and person or mail in votes setting the stage for one of the highest voter turnouts in u.s. history both president donald trump put his democratic challenger joe biden are out
9:36 pm
rallying supporters these are live pictures now joe biden campaigning in iowa the president is in new michigan the battleground state. of course with joe biden being in iowa that's where he lost in the primaries. well as tens of millions of u.s. voters cast their ballots early for criminals are struggling to get their voices heard in florida next inmates are allowed to vote but only if they've paid off court fines and fees which of course many can't afford to do on his ears and he gallagher reports now from miami. this is a big day for tosh a sanderson yeah. yeah i mean you. know they were in the form of felons voting rights were restored 2 years ago then florida's republican governor approved legislation blocking x. criminals from voting until they paid outstanding fines and fees run to santa said
9:37 pm
it's about making former felons repay all the debts to society while opponents see it as taking away their rights after getting advice from a civil rights group tashi was assured her voice is one that can be heard everything is a struggle for everything if you want to be happy about this and they know they get through it get to what you have to go through it so i went through and i'm on the other side of it and as you see about it today and i make that it the campaign to restore the voting rights of so-called returning citizens has gone and national attention in other states like illinois those serving sentences are allowed to cast a ballot but the picture in florida is far more complex and i'm clicking through a bunch of different case numbers with confusing notations as to what they mean lawyers say it's a form of voter suppression that targets the poor and minorities there's no one stop shop for getting an answer it is completely you know piecing together a puzzle and quite frankly it's difficult for
9:38 pm
a team of lawyers to do it and your average person living in florida is going to be able to do it voter suppression is nothing new in this country it's been going on in one form or another for decades but critics say this is a particularly insidious form of it even if former felons managed to wade their way through all the red tape many through that by exercising their democratic right they could be committing another crime for x. felons registering to vote without paying legal fees could get them in trouble and with the system so convoluted many just don't take the chance they're the role models of their communities form a felon and health sanchez works. the florida rights restoration coalition which helps people like him never get the complex process of getting their vote back he says those who do vote heroes it's a real life of bravery and that's why we will commend every single returning citizen who turns out and vote for for their civic.
9:39 pm
engagement and courage because even if there wasn't a fear here there's been a history of saying your vote doesn't matter your vote doesn't count and learn to live with that according to civil rights groups the legislation here potentially leaves many ex felons without a vote. but those that fight the simple act of voting isn't something they take for granted to gallacher al-jazeera miami florida well that report forms part of our series on the hurt americans in our next report on new york correspondent gabriel elizondo speaks to immigrants from one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the u.s. we'll hear how some feel about voting for the 1st time you can see that throughout the day on saturday. to sarah. health ministers from across the e.u. have stressed the importance of a coordinated response to covert 19 this italy posts a daily coronavirus record of 31000 new infections health ministers held

a video conferences france into the 1st day of a month long lockdown e.u. leaders earlier agreed to fund the transfer of covert patients across borders to ease the burden is indeed. we're not powerless in the face of it after all there are hygiene measures and we can wear masks but we need to coordinate measures with the member states not came across very clearly but it's important that people take charge of their own responsibilities on a daily basis so i'm grateful for the show of solidarity and cohesion amongst the health ministers and colleagues within the european union. reports now from paris somebody restrictions being imposed across france. i don't think we're going to know whether this 2nd lockdown of the year in france will work for a few weeks yet but the french president tomorrow michael said it is absolutely necessary because he is saying that this 2nd wave that frogs are so deeply in could
9:41 pm
be more deadly than the 1st we have seen cases more than 50000 a day on some days experts saying here that it's probably near a 100000 a day because so many people are not getting tested or asymptomatic and those cases just going up all the time you can see it visibly in the streets as well the queues outside the barges each day getting longer and longer and what the government hopes of course is this knockdown this 4 week lockdown is going to try and slow the spread of the coronavirus. it's a strict a lockdown sorry i should say it's a slightly less strict lockdown than the one in march and april in the schools will be able to remain open children though from the age of 6 will have to wear masks some businesses can remain open as well factories public services and that kind of thing nevertheless in terms of people's personal freedoms they will not be able to leave their homes for more than a kilometer perimeter just for essential goods doctors' appointments and that kind of thing so many people in france a feeling you might say almost
