1:05 am
enjoyed over the summer this is only a month so my fear is that what will happen is that the numbers will be curtailed by this measure but when reviewed in early december it'll be decided that we've still got a long way to go and we're going to have to keep with these measures i think that's a very real prospect unless there's a very radical turnaround and i don't see that happening. a greek orthodox priest has been shot and wounded in the french city the priest was fired on twice as he was closing a church a suspect has been arrested in march french police have arrested a 4th suspect linked to thursday's knife attack a nice 3 people were killed in the attack on a church david chaytor has more from that. here in nice have been a lot of people police patrols they've been increased around this specific are all day people have been arriving to pay tribute to the victims of the knife attack on

course this is a problem for islam because muslims are the 1st victims and as i mentioned before more than 80 percent of the victims of terrorism are muslims and this is a problem for all of us where yes a new civil liberties activist and the head of the justice and liberties for all committee he says it is out of touch. how can he on the one hand say he stands against a white record without ever defining it it would mean that in practice in france people have been right labeled radical muslims for fasting good with a month of ramadan for praying 5 times a day or wearing the headscarf in the same basket that would practicing muslims and terrorists killing muslims for us all around the world the us frame trying now to muslims and i understand your frustration august's and your feelings but i want to promote freedom of speech then how is it in france for example you get fined 7500 euros for this equating the french flag. i mean is accusing azerbaijan of

back where there are civilians presence now by john or thora jesus said that is absolutely not the case that they don't even possess such weaponry which is a restricted under international law we know that's not really the case though because both of these sides have been using cluster munitions are also restricted under international law and both of these sides have been bombing civilian targets with those in the last few weeks. i mean. government's response to the accusations of using white phosphorous. well this is have said right from the beginning that those accusations were groundless and just a few minutes ago. president has actually tweeted that armenia has used this white phosphorus.

think of some of the biggest companies in the world today all of them take with algorithms that they call them or do we use them the more data we produce where in the midst of a great race sit down and big tech companies around the chicks and cars are rising on a wild information and we need all the commodities and the 2nd the fox series be re-examined for the corporations are colonizing the internet like the popularity and power of think tack on a. one of the top stories here on jazeera the u.k.'s prime minister's ordered and national
1:17 am
knocked down for all of england set to last until the beginning of december announcement comes as britain surpasses more than 1000000 coronavirus infections the u.k. is europe's west hit country. french president emanuel my course says that what he calls radical islam is a threat to everybody including muslims and he just sat down with al-jazeera saying his role is both to promote calm and protect the rights for freedom of speech. and i mean years accusing azerbaijan of using white phosphorous in nagorno-karabakh volatile munitions are restricted under international law as a bridge ron says the accusations are ground mess. with just 3 days until the u.s. presidential election intensive campaigning is taking place in the key battleground states president donald trump is holding no fewer than 4 rallies in pennsylvania a state he won by the narrowest of margins 4 years ago or challenger joe biden has been speaking alongside former president barack obama in michigan trump trails in
1:18 am
the polls but is predicting a late surge will deliver him a victory. a great red wave. slows you're there as sure as we are here together that wave is forming and they see it they see it also. and there's not a thing they can do about it. dark time for the country but before it is the irony of all our nieces i think what's happened with these quadruple problems we have from the pandemic to what's going on relative to the. ratio on our knees to unemployment the recession as well as our situation internationally has taken a blinders off the american people she returns is live from washington d.c. she had to so just 3 days to go where will the election be decided.
1:19 am
well i think we've got these things and so it's pennsylvania but the states where. most trump and biden were campaigning on friday and it's interesting the listening to their campaign messages today it's very much about it's about turnout this is going to be the keep the key message in the key point and the message then isn't so much vote for me because i'm better than the other person would vote for me because the other person is is worse and what we're seeing when trying to talk about that red wave what they're really hoping for especially in states like in the midwest and in pennsylvania is the enormous number of white voters without a college degree who registered for this election who were registered last time around once we thought of the democratic party as the working class party not so longer on the case as the new democrats got closer and closer to wall street and so on so trump is making that argument once again look at biden we know his record he just outsources your jobs with wall street that make money out of the squeeze you
1:20 am
guys dry they'll ruin the economy. and construct does have that achievement that he renegotiated nafta was something obama promised to do but did not and obama just signed up america to another another big trade deal the transpacific partnership these are key messages to the working class voters in pennsylvania and in the midwest with as we saw on friday unfortunately there for trump he also has own record where he's clearly very close to wall street and he hasn't stopped the outsourcing or the decline in manufacturing but that may be enough then for people not necessarily to vote for vote for trump but i don't that's not necessarily enough for people to come out to vote for biden and go back to how things work which was well i mean a career politician is the term we keep hearing why go back to biden at least trump tried and failed but biden failed so you know that's that's the difficulty the biden is facing and we're already seeing seeing democratic strategist getting really worried now that turnout amongst particularly black and latino voters is
1:21 am
down so far an early vote. and places like pennsylvania because they're also what we're seeing in the poses the young there's a generational divide there to where younger voters younger black and minority voters are saying look trump is terrible but biden is very different from obama and that's why so it's urgency obama on the campaign trail now because there's always this lack of of almost accounting for the fact that it's the disappointment in obama that helped lead to the trump victory so obama's on safer ground by the safer ground when they talk about the pandemic not so much on the economic success which they still keep touting that apparently trump inherited because a lot of people didn't feel that but it's a really interesting interesting dynamic here about turnout trump now relying on white working class voters democrats getting a bit worried about turnout among stickley young black and latino is but but it's all about turnout now in the states she has a candy thank you very much. rescue workers are racing against time to save people trapped under the rubble in turkey a powerful earthquake on friday rumbled through the turkish province of izmir and
