7:02 am
shallow magnitude 7 earthquake was off the turkish cost. 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 our building, i saw this one collapse. many buildings collapsed, injuring hundreds, and hundreds of this man says, got you are the greatest, please protect us. it still continues. emergency responders are traveling from a stumble to support rescue effort, while residents are asked not to jam phone lines or transport links unnecessarily. but i thought that the ground to chatted, you cannot think, or you try to do is get out everywhere was collapsing. luckily our building was intact. we were really panicked to manage to get out at the last minute turkey's president rejects a barge and was quick to respond to their earthquake shows there in the bush northern new jersey,
7:03 am
i would like to express my sympathies to the city that were exposed to the earthquake that occurred around isn't it all right, to express condolences for those who lost their lives on the buildings that collapsed india. and i wish speedy recovery for the injured the quake coast damage in many provinces in western turkey and triggered to see stores that flooded streets near the city of is made. some damage was also reported to buildings and roads on the greek island of some, most the hospital director there said some people with slight injuries have been treated. 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 these 17000 people were killed in 1999 when
7:04 am
a large quicks flood the city of is met. south is stuff a stumble. and around 500 turks died in deer creek which struck the eastern city of 9 years ago. with this earthquake about 6000 people live in the area of severe shaking 71000 in the area, a very strong shaking a 3200000 in the area of strong shaking rich employees. that in fact the number of casualties is likely to rise, possibly substantially. the one thing is that since 999 has evolved, a pretty good network of search and rescue units near earth. quake was also felt here in istanbul, 500 kilometers far from israel. now, residents in turkey and on nearby greek islands have been a warned of aftershocks and further damage. they might bring up a solo al-jazeera, a stumble, well dormice. aden is a sex general of the humanitarian relief foundation, or i h h in turkey. and he explained what their team's priorities are. our team now
7:05 am
more than 260, search and rescue teams. it reached is minute to moment. now they are the best in their 20 collapsed buildings. so now you are working under the and the turkey disaster and emergency management presidency. so they had been telling us the beach buildings beacon and so to all the team members are, did try to survive the life's from the reeks. so it is really hard because more than 200 aftershocks, it still continues and it's even hard to work under the rubble of this. so the search and rescue team being very careful and trying to save the lives. and when you hear the speak out to members of the deceased from the charity, they moved in with the cars and even the equipments now day reached me at the moment and they are doing the best. and now we are preparing the hot meals for the people who are living on the street in the mosques and in the parks. so we will be
7:06 am
delivering and as early as possible for those people, the hot meals it may scare says it will investigate a report that the u.s. government has deporting children there alone with no family to take them in. the new york times says more than 200 children originally from central america have been expelled over the past 8 months. once in mexico, a minister said to have been sent to child welfare shelters. the u.s. has hardened its already tougher border policies, which it says as part of efforts to contain the coronavirus to home and has more now from mexico city. this is a policy from the trumpet. ministration could remain in mexico, that's been controversial in emplace for some time. and in that policy, those seeking asylum in the united states instead of staying in that country. what that process happens as been the case and the previous administrations, they sent across the border to mexico, even though they're not from this country. a lot of them from central american nations that was already controversial because in a lot of cities in mexico, they sent 2 to one
7:07 am
a new level or led to more or less their of the troubled by crime or by kidnapping, in the oval or of the we ourselves found that systematic kidnapping was taking place involving migrants. so you can imagine with that situation already in place, the new york times article which said that unaccompanied minors, children were being sent to these cities with an adult in a country that was not their own. obviously, cool's news from the mexican government, we did have a response saying the mets can government will follow up on specific cases in which unaccompanied minors could have vented mexico in an irregular fashion. so sort of confirming here that if this is happening, it would be against the agreement between mets going in the united states, but not confirming that it is going on our producer and part of rodriguez has also checked in with the united nations, the red cross. unicef and some other n.g.o.s who have all said that they don't know if this is happening or not. so if this is happening, as you said,
7:08 am
these would be vulnerable children being placed into cities that are already unsuitable for them, even if they were with the nato. and even worse, if they're traveling alone in a country that is not theirs. british media outlets are reporting that a new nationwide looked on may be brought in as soon as next week. the prime minister boris johnson, is expected to announce the measures which could include the closure of all but essential shops. the times newspaper reports, the lockdown could begin on wednesday, and last until december is concerned, hospitals will soon be overwhelmed by the resurgence of covert 1000 cases and less action is taken all on the campaign trail, donald trump has been keen to sell the message that the coronavirus isn't a big deal and is on the decline. that as the u.s. posts, it doesn't see 4000 new infections on friday, which is another record. overall, more than 90000000,
7:09 am
americans are known to have contracted coded, 900 still trying not to look down measures in other parts of the world. if you look at europe, they're surging despite these draconian lock downs. they have it locked down and they're surging. so what happens is you get it, you're going to get if you get it, stay away. if you get it, you're going to get better. and then you get a, b, m, e n and it's a whole thing and it goes away. but the vaccine to our house and with a few days to go until the u.s. presidential election, donald trump and joe biden have been crisscrossing midwestern battleground states by you have records to defend with these voters who will play a key role in deciding the outcome. she have returns in at the details of the presidential candidates know the midwest will be crucial to winning this election. and both donald trump, andrew biden visited minnesota and wisconsin on friday with biden, also going to iowa and trying to michigan. the president returned to the themes
7:10 am
that served him well in the last election, protecting workers from the offshoring of jobs and the trade deals favored by wall street and multinational corporations. and he does have an achievement welcomed by u.s. trade unions to point to his successful renegotiation of the north american free trade deal on after a vote for me is to keep and create order jobs and all sorts of jobs in michigan where they belong. i ended the nafta nightmare and replaced it with, a brand new u.s.m.c., a just kicked in. just get you know how, you know it's good because mexico and canada are so happy. president obama had also campaigned on renegotiating nafta, but instead he signed the us up to another international trade deal, the trans-pacific partnership, which unions felt would just multiply the jobs lost to other countries. it's clear joe biden is aware of the suspicion among blue collar workers of his record, both at obama's side as vice president, and before. nonetheless, he continues to tout what he says was once
7:11 am
a booming economy. the truck was handed in 2017, care to the stronger economy from iraq and me like everything else he'd heard it. he squandered as senator biden long fought for the credit card companies of delaware that made up his donors against those, forced to max out their debt. and often advocated cutting health and pension benefits for the poor. but now biden insists he's learned from the progressive wing of the party. you know, who really got this country. it was a wall street. it wasn't see, it was hard work and folks like all you know, it's about time. they wealthiest people in america, the billionaires and trillion heirs out big, mostly billionaires and the biggest corporations start paying their fair share. as for trump, he must also contend with his own record. the president did not stop historical trends of outsourcing and a decline in manufacturing, and has shown himself also to be
7:12 am
a close friend to wall street. and then this current, good morning team. the polls trumps on the playing of its effects are liability as the coronavirus storms through the midwest, and the economic crisis deepens around you know, our doctors get more money if somebody doesn't know. you know that right back in, washington, d.c., office buildings and storefronts are being boarded up ahead of election night. even though the polls have consistently shown biden ahead. no one knows what to expect. she ever turns the algebra. still ahead here on al jazeera, china's leaders outlined the ambitious vision for the coming years. and twitter unfreezes the accounts of a pro tropic newspaper. after an outcry from the president, supporters of
7:13 am
the weather set. barack cross the middle east for them and present sunshine, clear skies a little more clout further north, it has to be said because of cloud of rain moving across western parts of turkey, sliding across the black sea. and we may well even see want to 2 showers just coming into the levant, syria, lebanon jordan, could see a spot or 2 of right as we go through sunday, a bit more cloud coming into northern parts of saudi arabia, western areas of iraq, that he wants celsius, pleasant sunshine. some lovely weather as we go through the next couple of days. the light winds, it really will feel quite pleasant. not quite supplies into central parts of africa . plenty of showers around here. could even see a little bit of flooding into that eastern side of ethiopia, some showers pushing in mogadishu. so somalia could see some wet weather along with kenya. showers are rolling through here, tanzania in tanzania, also seeing some heavy showers from time to time. more of the same as we go on through sunday. wetter weather coming back into central and southern parts of
7:14 am
somalia. again, with the risk of some localized flooding, some sharp showers to just making their way into the east. the side of verse, south africa at the moment is fun to try and show about at the moment, but it will turn somewhat colder by sunday. there is the government not to take the necessary action to really address some of the structural issues we listen. i still think that travel is the safest mode of travel and to spend that we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter on the al-jazeera. understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. certainly to hamley take it, we'll bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you.
7:15 am
but again, you watch al-jazeera remind about top stories. this search is underway for survivors in the coastal turkish city of his men after a powerful magnitude 7 earthquake. the trauma beneath the gnc left at least $26.00 people dead in turkey, neighboring greece. more than $800.00, others are injured. the new york times is reporting that the u.s. government is to porting migrant children to mexico without a doubt without an adult and without any family to take the man. more than 200 children originally from central american countries said to have been expelled from the u.s. over the past 8 months. donald trump and insulation rival joe biden have held back to back rallies in the u.s. midwest. the 2 candidates both stopped off in the state of minnesota to make a final push for support. there's already been a historically high,
7:16 am
early voter turnout. twitter has lifted a suspension on the new york post accounts, the pro trump tabloid front page, celebrated with a picture of twitter's bird flying out of a cage. as the count was frozen after the paper published articles about democratic presidential candidate, joe biden. son, twitter said it violated its hacked materials policy, which is now being changed. republicans had accused twitter of censoring conservative outlets tech analyst in the c.e.o. of connect safely dot org. he says twitter is rules can be inconsistent. well, i think twitter did make a mistake. i mean, look, twitter has been accused of bias against conservatives, and most of those accusations were plainly false. what they mostly have done is taken away material, which violates their terms of service. in this case, they had a rule about hacked materials, but that rule actually doesn't make a lot of sense because it's pretty common for journalists even to report on hacked
7:17 am
materials. now if the hacker him or herself, had tweeted it, then clearly twitter probably should shut, shut it down. but the fact that some things out there were how were guard lots of how it's been obtained? and of course, there's a dispute whether it was in fact hacked at all. it's still material, and the post i think, had a right to post it even away, whether you agree with it or not, shouldn't be the issue. the issue is did they have a right to share that information and twitter, i think made a mistake and they realize they did and eventually back down they could ban summon from misinformation, especially if it's harmful, for example, covert 19 misinformation or misinformation about voting. that could lead someone to not vote that that would be down by twitter's policy, but there's a lot on twitter that's wrong. and twitter is not the arbiter of truth in every situation. so the reason they did this is allegedly that happened here, although they were also under a lot of pressure, politically, mostly from conservatives. but you know, there are principles at stake here and it could be next time it could be a liberal publication that publishes something that gets taken down. and they need
7:18 am
to have consistent principles and stick to them. so it is easy to say they must seize the opportunity of the century to be in the front row of the world's major paolo's. the message came out of a rare meeting. this china is that most powerful politicians map out the nation's goals over the next 15 years. if you can, paul, and has more, what seem is beijing's aggressive foreign policy has? well, most of the world is struggling to overcome the kerner virus outbreak. china has signalled that the country is well on its way to full recovery, and the government's actions in recent months have set the stage for chinese ambitions across the globe. china's foreign policy has taken an aggressive turn this year, such as lashing out at australia for pushing an investigation into the origins of the covert. $1000.00 virus. and china's armed forces have bolstered territorial claims in the south china sea. they've also stepped up patrols near japanese
7:19 am
controlled islands, fought india's troops in the himalayas, and sent warplanes close to taiwan's airspace. this place quite well with a domestic audience which has been fed a very heavy, patriotic, strongest country in the world. we've got the means to do it. i mean, this goes down very well, but i think also overseas there's a sort of sense in the chinese leadership. we've been soft too long now is the time for the biggest country in the world's 2nd biggest economy. we've got to start approaching according to our right. china also toughened its stance on the autonomous city of hong kong. after the international community expressed support for anti-government and pro-democracy protests last year. in july, beijing made its most dramatic move yet to tighten its grip on hong kong by imposing a wide ranging national security law. it came under criticism from many countries, including the us, which in turn put sanctions on chinese officials. but it was
7:20 am
a clear message to the international community to stay out of china's affairs. relations between washington and beijing are at their lowest in decades because of disputes in trade technology and human rights. as the communist party's ambitious goal setting forum took place in beijing last week. the u.s. secretary of state went on a so-called anti china tour with high level meetings in asia, including visits to vietnam, indonesia, japan, india, and sri lanka to where china has funded major infrastructure projects. the u.s. is trying to capitalize on what's seen as growing anti china sentiment in the region, and it's not going on noticed in beijing. we can tell about the risks and challenges of both from home and abroad, from the global aspect. unilateralism protectionism and globalization on the rise unstable and i'm certain factors of increased a recognition that china's so-called wolf warrior diplomacy where it acts
7:21 am
forcefully abroad may have won support at home, but has alienated many in the region. if you go palin, our jazeera hong kong police in thailand have rearrested 3 prominent leaders of the growing anti-government protests. one of them lost consciousness when he was reportedly place of a chokehold by an officer. 2 other activists such charged with sedition and violating an emergency ban on public gatherings. more demonstrations are expected on saturday. protestors have been calling for reforms to the monarchy and for a new constitution. protests continued in poland against a near total ban on abortions by the country's top court. poland's prime minister has promised to defend what conservatives see as an unborn child's right to life. but for a 9th straight day, doctors said they wouldn't be stopped by politicians or the threat of coronavirus. our legs has this report. tens of thousands of people on the streets of warsaw.
7:22 am
for what organizers say is the largest of 9 days of protests against a near total ban on abortions in poland. the body of the mother. i'm a woman, i'm a mother, i have a daughter and i think i'm here not only for myself but also for her so that she can live in better times. emotions are some of the time to reach a compromise has passed. women saw their rights taken away. it's now they want them back. despite a strong security presence and coronavirus warnings, protesters ignored the government's stay at home order. before visually should them do something good. we do not want to increase the risk of infection by letting people gather in large groups to protest. organizers were threatened with prison sentences, but say they won't be deterred by conservative anti abortion rights groups or their powerful political allies. oh, it was so the gentleman from all the lure is have the same problem as catching ski
7:23 am
more of in ski and order. they are few and much fewer than us. we're more, a recent constitutional court ruling further tightened. poland's already strict abortion laws banning it in cases of severe fetal deformities. terminations are now only legal in cases of rape incest. or if the mother's life is at risk, the government backs the verdict, but says it will propose a bill to once again allow terminations for what deemed a lethal fetal defects opposition. politicians say that's unacceptable and fear more women will now be forced to seek illegal abortions or go abroad car leg al-jazeera. vigils have been held across france for the 3 people killed in an attack on a church in nice. investigators say the 21 year old tunisian suspects arrived in france via italy earlier this month and he wasn't on any security watch lists. he's currently in custody in hospital security has been stepped up at churches across the country, and the government is vying to send more police on to the streets. david schaper

terrorism. when the chief antiterrorist prosecutor, revealed the attacker was a refugee from tunisia. sources have named him as able to him. we who is 21. he reached the italian island of lampedusa last month before coming to france when his request for asylum was refused. i mean these compounded the gap in this war against islamist and because we do now speak about all that because war has been declared, it is necessary to win the fight because i think the people of france want protection these. i want to change the methods. i think it's time to collect constitutional reform to create a french guantanamo for those we know as dangerous people. people here in nice police have arrested 47 year old man who's been accused of providing the knife man
