9:00 pm
well you say. this is al jazeera. i'm adrian finighan this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes time running out on the campaign trail donald trump and joe biden push for votes less than 48 hours before the u.s. presidential election begins. devastation wreaked by a super typhoon nearly a 1000000 people have been displaced and at least 10 have died in the philippines. early election results in ivory coast but the president in the lead but the
9:01 pm
opposition says the vote was neither free nor fair. and we speak to facilities longing to go back to their homes after being up rooted by the conflict with the media in the early 1990 s. . we begin this news with one of the most divisive u.s. elections in recent years donald trump and joe biden have less than 48 hours now to make that final pitch to the american people and they're doing it in several important battleground states president trump is campaigning in michigan where he won by less than one percentage point in 2016 joe biden is hoping to win that state and he made his case when he went there on friday trump is expected to hold rallies in 5 different states on sunday while biden will focus on pennsylvania another crucial state for the vama form of vice president a correspondence
9:02 pm
a closely following the campaigns a white house correspondent kelly how could his in philadelphia pennsylvania but 1st let's go to john hendren who is in michigan where president trump has been addressing supporters the rally is over but it was the 1st of 5 today john. that's right president trump is genghis are the crowds of last but he's going on and iowa north carolina georgia and florida but before it's all over he's coming back to michigan on monday to do it all over again he's told the writer bob woodward that he believed that in 2016 he really turned the election for himself in the final week with all of his rallies and so he's doing 5 today and about his many tomorrow and he's going to hit those states that he really needs lord 'd of course is a biggie but here in the midwest it is michigan ohio it is wisconsin as
9:03 pm
well where 'd he will also be tomorrow. this is a crucial state for him because he wanted by such a narrow margin it was the narrowest margin in the entire 2016 election 0.2 percentage points that's 10000 votes and if you want to get an idea for just how many that 'd is in this state. joe biden campaigned here just a day ago he went to detroit and flint both of them urban areas and those 2 counties alone had 100000 people who voted for barack obama democrats but did not vote in the next election for hillary clinton so that margin could be made up in rallies like this and that's what donald trump is trying to do here in mccomb county it's a swing counties cities tend to go to the democrat the rural areas 'd tend to go to the republican and it's here in the suburbs where the elections are often decided that's what happened for donald trump last time when he won by that tiny margin so
9:04 pm
he's going to come back one long time and try to flip it just as he did with pennsylvania and wisconsin and that broke what used to be called the blue wall democratic states all in a row he is about 6 percentage points ahead here i'm sorry behind here right now behind joe biden. a summary of polls by real clear politics and there's a margin of error there so he's very close to actually being able to flip this state and he's working hard at it but joe biden was here a day ago doing exactly the same thing with barack obama with the singer stevie wonder and they were trying to drive out the black vote to drive people to the polls and that's because both of those cities are majority african-american and of course barack obama is popular with african-americans and joe biden by extension is as well so trump on the one hand is hit in the suburbs and biden is hitting the urban areas and the whole name of the game right now is to get out the vote there
9:05 pm
was john had reporting live from windy washington michigan john many thanks dee it's windy not quite as would be as in washington it's also when it's in philadelphia that we'll find. job by focusing just on philadelphia at stake here please. yeah i'll tell you why there are a couple of reasons 1st of all this is a really important state we can't underscore that enough that's why don charges here yesterday doing for rallies and joe biden the democratic presidential nominee will be doing 2 different events in philadelphia now as we talked about the national polls the national polls you consistently put joe biden in the lead and in this state that is also the case but in recent days the biden campaign has become a little nervous and some of their internal polling has showed that he may not be doing as well as he had hoped with african-american men that's one reason why he
9:06 pm
may be traveling here in order to in this heavily african-american city that he is trying to have to get out the vote to make sure that that lead stays solid particularly with key demographics so he is going to have a number of events after attending church in wilmington delaware he will be holding a souls to the polls this is an event organized by african-american pastors not just here in philadelphia but all around the country and it's important to note that one of the issues that joe biden will be talking about where he feels he gets a leg up on donald trump the republican president is not the issue. and again it is our population here that has really dealt with some of that social unrest surrounding the issue of race most recently this week the police shooting of a black man that led to riots and so as a result this is something that joe biden feels is important to talk about as he makes his closing arguments just to keep the weather theme going here a storm brewing over the doctor and to the from the white house today.
9:07 pm
that's absolutely right and i'll keep this one going to as that of the white house continues to sort of the triangle chug along at that got the trains behind me doing the same thing if you can hear that whistling that's what that's all about the white house isn't too happy with that he found out she look at their long. batts between donald trump and dr anthony fauci the top exact infectious disease specialist in the united states where he's a bit overweight about his political leanings that he tends to lean democrat but they don't like him making that kind of an assertion particularly with comes to issues of covert 19 as they allege he's done in the last few days and that's why the white house is speaking out who it is sizing up to be found for being political they save it his criticism of scott outlets one of the president's advisers on cope with 19 he said it was not credible in the white house is having issue with believing that it is so close to election and
9:08 pm
a member of their own pro bono coronavirus task force should not be making those type of assertions that could potentially sway voters by that some train look about things like a mile long kimberly how could reporting live from philadelphia thanks to the government. of president trump continues to draw fierce criticism for his response to the pandemic but in florida his record on the health crisis could be especially crucial the elderly population that has been hit hard along with minority communities and businesses which is here as i did gallagher reports from miami. the sunshine state is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth as election day approaches it's become clear that of all the swing states florida is the one that matters most to both joe biden and donald trump the candidates in the surrogates have crisscrossed the state in a blitz of campaigning that reflects florida's status as the biggest battleground arena it's also
9:09 pm
a state that's been ravaged by qubit 19 with more than 16000 deaths and cases once again on the rise state's governor a close ally of the president has refused to initiate a lockdown and trump's doubling down on his opinion that the economy comes 1st wheelock then i'm scared. and now we're open for business and that's what. and that's what this explosive economic growth is 4 times greater than or what the experts expect that florida's large elderly population has been hit hard accounting for more than 40 percent of all faith teletubbies president trump did well with older voters here in 2016 political experts say that's changed but i think seeing the way the troponin destruction is handled this pandemic has convinced a large number of senior voters that they need to see a change need somebody else need to see somebody else in charge of this pandemic
9:10 pm
somebody who's more inclined to take it seriously actually try to bring this country safely through it so they can see the grandkids again communities of color in florida have also been disproportionately hit by the virus underlying health conditions limited access to health care and poverty of all made things worse why voters helped propel the president to a narrow victory in florida 4 years ago he also needs as many votes as possible from hispanics and african-americans though supporting the former vice president so he's more trustworthy he is now under a 5th he always does. about everyone he doesn't separate brought from wife and all their proposals that he have proposed and we believe him he tells the truth and if you make a mistake if he thought that we support women over here something started for nothing with all the lies that he don't like other states early voting in florida has seen record turnouts with the pandemic
9:11 pm
a big issue on voters' minds everything about the pandemic joining this election cycle has been politicized from the wearing of masks to the balance between keeping the economy going and the dangers of a deadly virus whether that translates to a victory for either candidate remains to be seen but here every vote counts and the optics between these 2 campaigns couldn't be more different and electorate polarized by the handling of the pandemic hasn't given either candidate a commanding lead in florida but there's no question that it's one of the dominant issues one that will play a major role in deciding who wins the presidential election and it gallacher al-jazeera miami florida. wants to know how immigrants have become recent u.s. citizens were planning to vote in the election jackson heights in new york is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the u.s. for the latest report an unheard american series gabriel elizondo
9:12 pm
a spoken to newly eligible voters that 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 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 us 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. all of the. immigrants of many countries the. lot of people living here. the most people living. people are thinking. becoming president of becoming president
9:13 pm
the 1st immigrants started arriving here in jackson heights in about 1065 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 a 165 different languages spoken here just in jackson heights a short subway ride from manhattan and with a population of about 200000 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
9:14 pm
a lot about. people. i think. jackson heights was one of new york's hardest hit areas during the krona virus outbreak in the spring. 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 culturally rich neighborhood all are seeing this election up close and personal through the eyes of recent arrivals to america gabriel is on to. new york with this one issue where the presidential candidates have shown stark differences and that is the environment let's compare their records and proposals president trump withdrew from the paris climate accord
9:15 pm
in 2017 just a year after it was signed under the obama biden administration he said it was unfair to the u.s. and leaving it would save jobs but the former vice president says that he'd rejoin that agreement if elected. removed multiple regulations allowing drilling in previously protected areas by promises grades of funding for renewable energy or banning new oil and gas drilling on public land says that emissions continue to decline under his administration but some attribute that to initiatives taken by state governors and local mess by proposing that the u.s. reaches a net 0 carbon emissions by 2050 his 2 trillion dollar plan will be paid for by increasing taxes on corporations and wealthy americans bill mckibben is an environmentalist and schumann distinguished scholar and environmental studies at middlebury college in vermont he says that addressing the climate crisis depends
9:16 pm
not only on who is president but who controls congress. the u.s. put more kerman into the atmosphere than any other country over the historical period and it's probably the only country that can figure out how to coordinate a global response its withdrawal from the paris climate accords was a great gift to the oil industry because it let it get on with its task of trying to just keep things the way they are it's going to take an activist effort on the part of the u.s. and all the other major emitters to get us back on track with paris indeed to go beyond what the paris records called for the impact on jobs of moving towards a global energy is all to the good they're already far more jobs in renewable energy than there are in fossil fuel but that differential will just keep growing because these are jobs these are and are it technologies that produce lots of jobs
9:17 pm
fossil fuels capital intensive it takes a lot of money but putting solar panels on roofs and maintaining windmills and things that's labor intensive it takes a lot of people now we don't know exactly what biden will be able to do a lot will depend not only on if he gets elected but if he has a senate in the u.s. that's willing to work with him if he does then there's probably room for really quick and decisive action as we use the depth of the pandemic caused recession is a kind of lever to move quickly towards big infrastructures ending that will help us address this even larger crisis there with the news now from our sara still to come on the program searching for survivors we'll have the latest from west to turkey 2 days after a powerful earthquake struck that iran katrina. where a nation wide census is it's up to trigger a growing population in a living until it's time to say the scripture records 7 and straight forward i want

a time to honor the dead let's go live now to nice to serious david chase is the david how important to the people of nice on today's services. well here at the basilica the police have strong large sort of fences to keep the crowds away from the main service here because of the curve of 19 crisis of course they've only had a limited number of people inside the congregation 1st and foremost it's been some of the relatives of the 3 people who were killed and it's been a very moving scene here we've seen the loved ones come in they've had to be scanned by the police check by the police have been sniffer dogs all around but it's been a very moving service. i think everybody is looking at it because it is hope that some form of healing can come from this from the desecration of the basilica the
9:24 pm
whole service had to start actually with a reparation of the spirituality of the building of this basilica it was a given holy water by the bishop it's like a 2nd baptism to cleanse the profanity of the blood having been spilt on the floor of this silica but the words perhaps that might most ring out not only here across knees but across france is from that bishop the the monsignor marceau who said in a very strong phrase that stood out from everything else he said that. 3 lives had been stolen from human. a c 3 lives stolen in the falls in the name in the fells in the falls face of a cog in the false face of a god or a perverse ideology a strong strong statement from the bishop not exactly trying to heal.
9:25 pm
the divide this all falls terror attack his cause but saying it in very plain words this was done in the name of a false face of god and of a perverse ideology. so i think will be dwelt on here and will cause france in the coming days david chase reporting live there from a stated many thanks indeed early election results in ivory coast putting president alassane ouattara in the lead but opposition candidates have already denounced the vote saying that it was neither free nor fat they're calling on what are to step down several people died in protest in the run up to the votes of rallies in the economic capital abidjan and several other towns across the country let's get the latest now from a series of address who's in a bush show what does the opposition plan to do next. well the color for must of resistance against allison what tourist

9:27 pm
seen and whether or not they can bring on board influential members of the international community like the european union the united states the african union and other groupings that have been there to witness this election some of them are not saying so much about this election currently but the feeling on the street is that if. opposition supporters on to the core of. song from his press statement released earlier today we're bound to see more action on the streets of ivory coast how far the security forces will take that it remains to be seen and from the look of things now. is actually bracing for a possible break of break of violence something that i've already it's a been afraid of 5 in a long time i was there as an address reporting that on the situation in ivory coast from a butcher and nigeria many thanks did to others look at
