2 days after a powerful earthquake 60 people have now died. with glorious is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst case scenario of our scientific advisors and the u.k. government announces a new lockdown in england's from thursday. and arpita stamp of your sport american athletes get greater protection offer a new law is passed following the gymnastics sex abuse scandal. well there are just 2 days until the u.s. presidential election and both candidates at the making a final push in key battleground states donald trump went to 4 rallies in pennsylvania in just 10 hours democratic challenger joe biden turd michigan with
4:02 pm
the help of former president barack obama our white house correspondent kimberly hall kids has more from the campaign trail. with less than 72 hours until election day president trump started early for of a full day of campaigning 4 different stops in the northeastern state of pennsylvania in just 10 hours trouble near. only one pennsylvania in 2016 and on tuesday he's hoping to do it again and if we win pennsylvania it's over. this is one of a handful of states the trump campaign considers a must win for reelection what i didn't expect from such good friends leading in national polls former vice president joe biden skipped pennsylvania on saturday instead he joined former president barack obama fighting for votes in another election battleground michigan i believe the most is going to be loud and it's
4:03 pm
going to be clear it's time for donald trump the pack is back sandro we're done has the chaos the treats burying her they hate the fair here their future to take any responsibility the pair blame trump for the rising cases of covert 19 in the united states america just had its single worst week of new covert cases and what's his closing argument here we are the worst week this week and we were been going to snow for months the federal government has had an opportunity to respond for months. back in pennsylvania trump painted an apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency joe biden go shut down your economy wipe out your factories and shut down your state ship your jobs to china raise your taxes but trump trails his democratic rival in this state steal his supporters are adamant trump will win
4:04 pm
pennsylvania and the election i think the majority of the polls are pretty wrong i think there's a lot of trump supporters that don't come out publicly and say you know and support you know. because they're afraid as of saturday just one in 3 voters in pennsylvania had cast their ballot donald trump is making a push to win over those remaining voters in a state that could help decide the outcome of the u.s. election kimberly held at al-jazeera reading pennsylvania. oh let's get more now from alan fischer he joins us live from washington d.c. ellenberg coming into the final. how is the race shaping up. well we've had 11 poor's in the last year from 4 respective forster's 9 of them are good for joe
4:05 pm
biden 2 of them are good for donald trump but here's a couple of things you have to remember polls aren't votes and the pollsters go to very badly wrong in 2016 if you look at the washington post a.b.c. poll particularly in 2 key states they give joe biden a lead but that lead has narrowed in the last few days it's no just over the margin of error so that means that pennsylvania is going to be a very very tight race and if you look at florida while that is absolutely razor thin it is too close to call now speaking to people involved with the trump campaign they think that florida for them is a banker and that donald trump is going to when their their focus is on pennsylvania and on michigan and in particular in the northeast corner of pennsylvania they believe if they can turn the voters there in some key counties that could be enough to tip pennsylvania into donald trump's camp and that would help him significantly get close to the $270.00 electoral college votes that he
4:06 pm
needs to win the presidency again what is interesting though is that donald trump at some point today will be in georgia it's almost unheard of for republican presidential candidates to have to go to georgia to shore up support there but it sure is joe biden is making any rules there and the republicans are worried about it they are less concerned about texas where joe biden has narrowed the gap between himself and donald trump but george seems to be very much in play and that is something they're worried about because no democrat has won georgia since 1988. alan the polls are all pointing to a biden win as you say but i mean this race is by no means one there are complicating factors terrenate is key but also fitting into that the reports of voters trying to tear and they can't. and every
4:07 pm
state essentially has a team of lawyers from both parties standing by ready to go to the courts if they think there is any sign of people not being able to cast their votes that is been a huge turnout in pre-election voting as you know there's ellie voting in a number of places even continue today in some states or those some have no put the barrier down and said you've got to wait till tuesday and certainly the indication is when there is a huge surge in tonneau like this tends to favor democrats but there are those who say that the republicans are waiting to november the 3rd to cast their vote because of course donald trump for months has been talking up the problems of casting your ballot by mail that it might not get counted that it might go missing that there might be a problem and so their entertainment to turn up to the polls so on cheers day you can guarantee that we're going to see long lines you can also get that both parties
4:08 pm
will be in the courts complaining that some states are carrying this out the way that they should be donald trump is on the campaign trail again on sunday he's got 5 rallies run of a bit of steam late or saturday but give the man credit he is a fierce campaigner and of course he was in hospital just a few weeks ago recovering from covert he's going to be in michigan and iowa north carolina georgia and then his final rally is in florida joe biden while joe biden seems to think that pennsylvania is the ballgame because he's got 2 rallies in philadelphia itself in the next few hours although carla harris is going to be in georgia this is going to come down to a few 1000 votes in a couple of counties in a couple of states we've been talking about it for 4 years but some people somewhere in the united states of the casting vote in this election we will be following it very closely to find out here exactly they are alan fischer there

4:11 pm
precarious time the country is still struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic and government resources are already stretched this is why many people here fear the impact of typhoon ghani may set them back even further. duggan al-jazeera manila. rescue crews in turkey are working to save people trapped under the rubble in izmir a powerful earthquake on friday it's the western turkish province and the greek island of some most triggering a small tsunami at least 60 people have been killed and hundreds more injured turkish president's wretch of sorry birds one arrived in his mirror on saturday nights visited the site collapsed buildings and spoke to search and rescue workers let's speak live wanted to see him cos you know who she joins us from a cinematic death toll is continuing to climb how much progress in the search teams
4:12 pm
making their. well a so far according to what turkey's disaster management agencies say is out of 89 art of 17 buildings that have been highly damaged and collapse have been completely search and search and rescue 1st operation is underway in 8 of them you see another thing behind me which has been highly affected by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake this building has been staying like the since friday you see there are 3 cranes that are trying to hold the parts of the building in place because it is about to collapse it's actually a 2 block building and jason each other and on my right arm side you are seeing that one of the blocks is detached from the other and we have been speaking to the experts engineers from the environmentalists urbanization ministry here and they
4:13 pm
have been telling us. that their examinations show that on the ground floor of the spill doing it 2 or 3 columns of the carrying structure has been cut that's why the building has fallen on this side and now they're trying to keep it in place with the help of the cranes but how they will be able to have a safe demolishing is still unknown they are trying to do calculations for its weight and so that there is no risk cause for the surrounding buildings and search and rescue teams arrived like 15 minutes ago and they're also the dispatching the search group dogs to see whether there are any people left inside with apparently the experts are telling us that they're sure there is no one left inside so it's only mathematics the calculations just left have to in order to demolish the building this is the situation is very close in i'm. sure it is the extent of the

4:15 pm
austria has announced similar measures adding to a growing list of european countries re imposing restrictions the farkle reports live from london a major u. turn in the british government's covert 19 strategy for weeks the prime ministers insisted on local restrictions to avoid the need for a nationwide lockdown but infections have just continued rising as across much of europe the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst case scenario of our scientific advisors from thursday until the start of december. you must stay at home you merely leave home for specific reasons i'm afraid non-essential shops leisure and entertainment venues will be closed the virus is spreading much faster than forecast the 2nd peak could be one and a half times higher than the 1st with as many as 4000 deaths a day the government hopes to use the new lockdown as an opportunity to
4:16 pm
dramatically accelerate testing there is one consolation though schools and universities can remain open and relief for parents struggling with childcare leading scientists advise the british government last month to introduce a 2 week circuit breaker lock down when the infection rate started to creep up again the government resisted citing concerns over the health of the economy in scotland where tighter restrictions have been in place in september there is some evidence to suggest that the infection rate there is. but here in england boris johnson's gamble hasn't paid off the u.k. isn't the only country to announce a nationwide lockdown the austrian chancellor's order the closure of restaurants and hotels from choose day high schools and universities will move lessons online and they'll be a nightly curfew the measures remain in place until early december the greek government also announced a partial lockdown from tuesday with mandatory mask wearing and gatherings band one
4:17 pm
by one europe's largest economies are switching from a piecemeal approach to the pandemic to more drastic measures france and germany reintroduced nationwide restrictions earlier this week the world health organizations urged countries to act sooner or recover faster. but with many of europe's economies in trouble the prospect of more months of covert confinement is difficult to bear neve parker al-jazeera london or paul brennan joins me now live from london paul england is the latest country to go back into locks and now there's a suggestion it could last more than a month. that's right boris johnson when he made that announcement on saturday evening set the date of december the 2nd as you heard that the country would return to a regional tier system. but what has happened this morning is that on the
4:18 pm
political t.v. programmes michael gove a cabinet minister very close to boris johnson has held out the prospect that if the odd number of votes the reproduction infection rate number doesn't drop below one by december the 2nd that it might be necessary to keep the lockdown in place for longer as much as one or 2 weeks longer the our number currently here in england is between 1 point $1.00 to $1.00 so it's not far to go that said the rate of increase at the moment in the u.k. is rather large and it's the rate of increase that has bounced boris johnson into imposing this national lockdown is frankly going in the wrong direction so there is no guarantee that 4 weeks from now the government will be in a position according to the data to lift this lockdown the reaction to all of this has been a mixture of resigned glum acceptance to outright fury the british retail consortium estimates a 3rd of a 1000000 shops are going to have to close and 53000 cafes bars and restaurants
4:19 pm
will have to shut the estimates of the cost of that well they say it was $2000000000.00 in the spring lock down and this pre-christian is locked down will be even worse for retailers the criticism is coming from all sides for the government from the labor opposition parties who say that they should have followed the advice which was to have a shorter lockdown as early as september on the fact that they've delayed it now means it has to be a longer deeper lockdown to put people on boris johnson's own palm tree party who are more interested in keeping the economy think the priority should be the economy . he's in a very very difficult place they screeching u. turn by the government is before us johnson politically in a very very awkward position. ok paul brennan that bring us the latest from london thank you. 7 pro-democracy processions have been arrested in hong kong on charges related to a legislative council meeting when 5 months ago the group is accused of contents
4:20 pm
and obstructing the session they've been released but police have not proved by making more arrests or emily law was a former member of the hong kong legislative council and former chairwoman of the democratic party she says pro-democracy politicians are being unfairly targeted some of the prolegomena this role beijing members will also involve so why don't you just pick out a pro-democracy one to a rest it's very very unsteady and the role they use is a lot to protect the members privilege and power to speak within the camp so now they have weaponized the law to target these people so many people fear that even more could be arrested and maybe one day there will be no more rescission voices in the council and they probably will use the national security law to get a legislator and the activists and but on this very own creation they are using
4:21 pm
a law which was and acted to protect legislators is each so certainly using everything and i think the whole government is almost completely under the tro of the chinese government so they are acting according to the orders of presidency in beijing that they will release those so and to try to a rest and to intimidate anybody who dared to speak out we want that message to go out to the international community that the game is not 0 that the struggle is not over but of course there will be a very heavy price to pay. the u.n. secretary general has supported calls for another cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan sri agreements have already collapsed and both sides have reported more heavy shelling in the in the corner kind of region it's the conflicts heaviest

the latch in korea door at the lifeline of the un cle. in the in the main goals operations are. terrorists. or hunger in this so. who until this. force. to compromise with us along with. finish you all should finish a some us possible. also very important element of this controversy. back home john and a north chuckle both their home towns are now under very control they tease each other about wish they would visit 1st once their son is back. people here are watching the developments of this war very closely there among the hundreds of thousands who had to flee the karabakh region 30 years ago and not only all of
4:24 pm
these children they will tell you where they're from even though they've never been there kind alice from djibril hussein and are from this angle and some of the people here told us that for years they had criticised as a very president ilham aliyev for not taking any action now they fully support him the military is very popular here development it has retaken a large chunk of occupied land including the village of guy's yen which meal a year misplay loba was forced to abandon some 27 years ago. i watched the news all the time 4 villages were liberated today ours was among them my only wish is to go there and after seeing my home again i can die i'm glad that soon no one will colas displaced anymore. this is about john's war to lose and many here believe the country should not accept anything short of a full armenian withdrawal as a precondition for

a diplomatic solution but up that hamid. forcing is under way in algeria in a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution if passed the political system would be reformed and troops would be unloaded to find abroad for the 1st time since the 1960 s. the new government says it's responding to demands from protesters our senior correspondent joins me now. just lay out for us was stake in this referendum. well hello this is a referendum about a new algeria according to the algerian president of the vision of one who wants a jury and to. accept and vote yes for new provisions in the constitution which he considers to be extremely vital for and in decades of attack rossi and paving the way for a vibrant democracy but the people don't seem to trust that message from the political
4:26 pm
establishment because the when you look at the provisions themselves this tillman tain or give huge powers to the president who can fire the government you can sack the prime minister he has a huge say over the judiciary system so for people those who took to the stone to the streets or in 2019 and managed to topple president. they were hoping that every single person who was involved in the political establishment that prevailed in. since its independence in 1902 would step aside they say that their dream has been hijacked by the same political establishment which is still in power 2 things are happening as we speak the restrictions imposed by the covert 19 this could have an impact on the voter turnout plus the mistrust that the people have about those considerations of change of this these 2 could really lead to a lower voter turnout tonight ok they're bringing us the latest
4:27 pm
on that referendum thank you. it is time for a check on the weather now here's everton with an update. however clouds are parting nicely across north america the sun will burst free for pretty much everybody as we go through the next couple of days they clear skies across a good part of the u.s. ok we have a few showers towards the northeast and wet weather north of the border into canada over towards western sort of kind of the study some wetter weather coming in here and that will spill its way into the pacific northwest as we go through tuesday but for election day across much of the u.s. it's looking fine dry and sunny and the temperatures not faring too badly getting up into the mid teens if not low twenty's for many here in light winds that really will feel quite pleasant so there is cases for not getting out to vote i suspect further south things a good deal more active weather wise here we got this nasty little cloud just
4:28 pm
storms here when it has become a tropical storm and that's going to continue making its way further west which is we go on through the next couple of days gradually running towards that western side of the caribbean is going to feed some very heavy rain in across jamaica for a time punching its way towards northern parts of nicaragua honduras can expect to see widespread rainfall today was we go on through the next day also plenty of showers coming in behind with widespread flooding. still to come on out to 0 we visit some of america's newest routes is to find out what's at stake for them in the upcoming elections for us. i'm katrina. where a nationwide census is expected to reveal a slowing birth rate and eluding aging process and 3 teams could have won the 6 nations but the competition on the final day pizza will be here with all the action and. you'll be.
4:29 pm
dissecting the headlines in the midst of a pandemic let's start with some of the on the ground realities affecting the. news coverage what's the lay of the land there stripping away the spam reading story about presidential corruption it is real reporting is not in your challenging assumptions and the official line for this type of agreement the kind of our score we don't want today i thought if you and if media listening post on out is they were. 'd held for over 3 years in an egyptian prison cell denied their right to a fair trial no charges have been brought against al jazeera correspondent mr saying this crime journalist. to demand more truly and boy solidarity with all detained journalists sign the petition.

4:31 pm
in algeria in a referendum on whether to rewrites the constitution if passed the political system would be reformed and algerian troops would be a low to fight abroad for the 1st time since the 1960 s. . immigrants have often borne the brunt of donald trump's america 1st administration so how are they planning to vote in the upcoming election if that's all jackson heights new york is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in america in part 3 of al-jazeera is unheard of american series gabriel elizondo spoke to new delhi eligible voters there. when it comes to presidential elections in the united states the voice of recent immigrants are often left out of the conversation so want to wet and rainy afternoon we came to jackson heights considered to be the
4:32 pm
most culturally diverse neighborhood in all of america even the street signs make it clear where you're at san you will cast his ballot in early voting his 1st since becoming a u.s. citizen do you feel as an immigrant to the united states do you feel that the candidates have been speaking to the issues that are important to you yeah i think so yeah you know if this is very important to. me guess a. lot of people living here. here are the most people living. people are thinking. becoming president of becoming president the 1st immigrants started arriving here in jackson heights in about 1965 they came from latin america in the indian subcontinent but today there are people from all over the world that live here and there are now more than
4:33 pm
a 165 different languages spoken here just in jackson. a short subway ride from manhattan and with a population of about $200000.00 in an area half the size of central park jackson heights is home to recent immigrants from nepal bangladesh india pakistan colombia dominican republic puerto rico and people of muslim christian catholic and hindu face and that's just in one block early voting lines have been long in a solidly democratic party district who is represented in congress by alexander ocasio cortez. is from pakistan and told me he is voting for a democratic white house candidate joe biden. talking a lot about. people. do it. i think. jackson heights was one of new york's hardest hit
4:34 pm
areas during the krona virus outbreak in the spring. problem. they're not in a swing state they alone won't tip the scale of the election and some are so new they're not even eligible to vote but in this call truly rich neighborhood all are seeing this election up close and personal through the eyes of recent arrivals to america gabriel's andro. new york well let's stay with the subjects and bring in mary elena in kept here in washington d.c. she's the executive director of the national immigration law center gets a have you with us on the user immigrant voters the nodal one block but there are issues that importance them as they are with other forces well sort of issues to the immigrant communities what are they voting on in the selection. thank you for
4:35 pm
the invitation helen yeah this is one of the most consequential elections of our like times and for immigrants it really is a matter of life and death as the previous episode shared in the pandemic is one of those things the economic crisis but also the immigration laws with our vote this time we have an opportunity to determine whether the united states will once more become and a country that welcomes immigrants and celebrates immigrants we've seen that over the last 4 years trump has use race and immigration to divide the united states from day one and has attempted to restrict illegal immigration as a way to slow down the demographic shift in the united states insofar as of immigrants this is about our families it is about our community but it is also bought the democracy that is that stake in this election and i would argue about voter suppression tactics because they're the immigrants that we saw in gabriel's package where i mean they were the lucky ones who are able to vote there are many
4:36 pm
others who who are not. absolutely so one 1st of all right many of the immigrants are not yet citizens and so that is one of the big pieces of we are asking everyone in our country we cannot take this election for granted and it requires having our family members our coworkers community members neighbors vote for those who don't yet have the right to vote 2nd yes we are deeply concerned about voter suppression which has been the republican party and the trumpet ministration a trump campaign has been unapologetic about their efforts to suppress the vote including trying to restrict the number of voting i mean you have for example in texas harris county which is one of the largest counties in the united states has only one voting place. dropper in our early voting allowed so there are many many tactics were concerned but at the same time we are hopeful that the majority of americans will come forward and denounce resoundingly the
4:37 pm
novakovic and racists agenda i mean it's interesting that you talk about that because many new immigrants to the united states many come from countries that do not have flourishing democracy and they recognize some of these tactics and for the places that they've left. her trouble i guess that for you to see some of these challenges in particular a candidate who started pushing the very integrity of the vote. yes it's deeply concerning which you know many immigrants we know what it's like to have these kinds of actions and in fact so many immigrants come from other territory tearing governments who can say intel the united states into the american voters who may not be familiar may not see we can see with that state we can see what the future of this country would be like if trump is reelected and so again it is really one of the most consequential elections and immigrants have
4:38 pm
a special voice in this moment to help redirect the future of this country and help shape the country to once again being a welcoming nation you know the united states prides itself on being a nation of immigrants and in this recovery that we're in the midst of in 2021 that recovery cannot happen without immigrants and so again we are wanting to make sure that immigrants who are now citizens like myself but all of our allies and partners and community members come forward to safeguard the united states in our democracy . in kept great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us on al-jazeera thank you hal. police in the ivory coast a far tear gas protesters following saturday's election they're angry over the president running for a 3rd term or the have been rallies in the economic capital. in several times with the traces following the story from a book. where expect certain results to be in eyes fairly soon we do what the
4:39 pm
opposition is set to hold a press conference as we stand right now though how are things going with the election. well the vote count or the vote tally is in progress right now and we expect probably mean results to be announced to start coming out by the from the election commission by $1530.00 g.m.t. that's less than 2 or 2 hours away from now but the situation is such that a lot of people really really afraid of what will come after the announcement of the results leave seein tension growing since yesterday during election time and even today by the way. less than an hour ago there was a post making the rounds on social media in a place called such a cool where dozens of youths are out on the streets with clubs and machetes and
4:40 pm
some debris on the highway by the way and locals are fearing that things might escalate in the coming hours. when when things start happening in ivory coast when the results start coming in and when maybe the opposition sort of encourage the people or their supporters to come out on the streets and protest so that's the prevailing right now across ivory coast but people are watching closely to see what will happen after the results start coming out. the expectation is such that because the opposition leaders have failed to agree on a single candidate to confront us on what tara in the vote many a voice inside some of the vids think that this might be an easier win for a loss on what tara but what will come after it's not clear at the moment with still building up across ivory coast candidates bringing us the very latest from of
4:41 pm
bush thank you. well there's also an election taking place in moldova where voters are deciding which in candidates who favor closer ties with either the e.u. or with russian president igor dawna's the promo school front runner hoping to win a 2nd term as rival my son who is a pro european former prime minister who don't fit into in the 2816 election. police say in france servants arrogated one suspects and overlooking for others after an orthodox priest was shot it's come as the country reels run another attack at the church just days ago while the priest was causing his church on saturday afternoon in leone when he was shot twice at close range he is recovering in a hospital and remains in a serious condition police are trying to work out whether the person they've arrested was behind the attack or norms more votes it. another team of people have
4:42 pm
been arrested over thursday's church attack in nice 6 people are now being held in france and another is. he's accused of releasing a video claiming responsibility for the attack on behalf of an armed group let's get more now from david chaytor he joins us now live from nice david let's start with the police investigation and what worki tell us about that how is that progressing. just let me say 1st of all i think you can probably dismiss the claims from tunisia saying that they were behind the attack that is being dismissed by the tunisian intelligence services and by the french police but you're right to say there are now 6 people in custody here in nice now we knew about the 1st 3 we've been reporting widely on them but the the next 3 are all from good us the perfect city about 70 kilometers from here and
4:43 pm
we understand that the police believe they were in contact with the tunisian 21 year old refugee we who came here from from tunisia landed 1st in that producer then the police been trying to trace exactly where he went but now it appears that he was seen on choose day 2 days before the attack scouting around the area caught on video surveillance cameras with some of the suspects so they are beginning to piece together perhaps a new background to this attack he came specifically to make killings he was in the last minute idea that he did have help in the area so they're now trying to track back and see where else they can make connections between this chain of support and we who by the way is now recovering from 6 to 8 bullet wounds that the police put
4:44 pm
