sides are supporting for stronger climate policy from the government to reduce emissions without so this the situation we are in the get worse. kind of air i'm standing here today and this is the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. at least 19 people are killed as gunmen target students inside kabul university the taliban says its findings are not involved in the attack. with just one days ago before polls open in the u.s. both donald trump and joe biden are targeting crucial swing states. surveying the

damage the cleanup begins in the philippines after one of the most powerful storms this year at least 16 people are dead. and a journalist is killed every 4 days we'll find out why most perpetrators are not held to account. with your sports news sports host called begins here in russia's appeal against a 4 year. relationship. but we begin this news out in afghanistan where 19 people have been killed and 22 others injured during a gun battle inside kabul university. that attack ended just in the past hoffa nowa multiple attackers entered that campus earlier on monday and security security forces killed 3 of them and the taliban

says its fighters are not responsible for that raid well let's now speak to control for 8 in kabul for us for you and i this is literally just ended we're still getting more details what do we know at this stage. when this says it the afghan ministry of interior confirmed to us just a little while ago that the operation to secure the campus of kabul university and it just a little while ago 3 gunmen have been killed and this is an operation that has been going on for several hours for almost 6 hours as this attack started earlier this morning that was the time when thousands of students were into that campus during the morning shift and that's when gunmen stormed the building and they started to indiscriminately start shooting everywhere even inside the classrooms now this was a very complex operation because the afghan forces had to 1st and foremost try

and rescue all those thousands of students and faculty that were inside the university while at the same try time trying to find and control and apprehend the gunmen in terms of the death toll and the number of injured there is a lot of numbers that are swirling around but the ministry of interior confirmed to us again a little earlier that so far they have counted $25.00 dead and injured that's a number that includes both the dead and injured so far there's a dozen very gruesome and graphic pictures that are circulating all over social media here and i have been able to see some of those pictures it's about what has happened to. inside those classrooms the aftermath after those gunmen stormed the campus and i can tell you by watching those images those pictures it looks like what happened in there is looks like

a massacre so we should be surprised if the toll of the dead and the injured does go up in the coming hours in the clear we're seeing some of those very panicked pictures there from inside the university the no claim of responsibility yet just a denial from the taliban so far is there any sense of who could be behind this. actually as you said the taliban have denied that they are behind this attack of this attack comes just days after another educational institution was attacked here in kabul in the area of dust bargee were dozens were also killed so there is still nobody knows who is behind it's one of those brazen attacks that keep operating in kabul and nobody takes responsibility we shouldn't forget that horrifying attack that happened here on may 12th when again some unknown gunmen stormed that maternity clinic again and dusted bargee and they just started

indiscriminately shooting mothers and their newborn baby so it's still too early to tell there are some rumors and reports when around about who it could be but we have to wait and see 1st of all if anybody claims responsibility about this and of course contra for it there on the ground for us with all the latest from kabul thanks so much for you well let's dig into this a little more with much talk to him he's a conflict peace and security specialist and also founded a think tank called the afghanistan affairs unit he joins us now also from the capital kabul and we start just picking up there from my conversation with video of course kabul no stranger to attacks do you have a sense of who could be responsible for an incident like this right now. but well you know doesn't it is so many outreach spoke very doing and they have been trying to spoil those who are longing peace process and in the past we have had the expediency where be so guarded islamic state press as they call themselves and

operate from the eastern part of homicide have been going to use that saw such attacks on the academy good suggestions and then they have been claiming that a small stability for. the expectation is that. the outfield will be behind this because the explorer strongholds have been dismembered or liquids of last can be tedious and since then they have been doing these. who are off attacks on a very sensitive is to to shoot such as martin or do mormons are academy institutions and the highest expectation is that once again billy come forward and claim the responsibility for your deck that mushtaq a mention the peace talks web does that leave that process at the same time that they were making headway. whether that's why but these problems been so. i could tell you that it is based in the statement as far as the idea in humans and

the. need for nutrition is a good start but in the meantime god had been engaged. in attacking the got round across the country especially the ministry is situations and 'd you see that it is deletions back in which has a high and negative impact on the border peace process and be able at expression to do their job and another one back to have a full back to school and a guy program that. would know because the let it. be started got a negative impact because of that negative whites who were being brought to us people started with us getting a little cross with you but at the time you couldn't get approval to get on top of it without the bench strength of the other guy and are making the community a basket with the seeds of a video that if you look back over the civilian. leadership is going to

create a negative mood on the body at all costs the government will also be coming forward with that hard to create a lot of the commodity gets produced is a people from the government and this is certainly the chaat institution for these protests of course i do want to ask you more about the government response because this attack today's attack as a cause one of the things went on for something like 6 out of even after the amina arrived on the scene how is the government coping with the security situation and do they have the results as they mean what do you know about. the security will all be off because of the problems if you will stick with what the 6 . it said he had to be to organize a big meeting the execs barely the walking every day the proper security of the city to go to. the gold secure the pictured by the good news that robbers had to get across that expect you should do the deed but to be sort of overtaxed what. the

community should be fighting these these are actually quite challenging but about 100 before says all the big usually blocks this is going to be judged because it's all the 2nd one is further to be forced with or the security guards simply do you have to get decisions to be or. have been this man is going to challenge the balanda intelligence if you should it's already did you see. the practice going back into the 2nd what is the better the octopus does it out of the city from where to begin to organize we're going to have undertaken that i gotta tell you a very volatile situation still in afghanistan let's talk regime that from the afghanistan affairs unit speaking to us from kabul great to get your insights shine out of there thanks for joining us.

now the f.b.i. says it's investigating an incident in texas where a convoy of trump support has surrounded by them campaign bus several pickup trucks with proton flags can be seen driving dangerously close to that bus on the highway president trump himself said a video of that incident on twitter with the caption i love texas he will say tweeted his support for those involved. well the race to the white house is entering its final stage with just one day left of campaigning before tuesday's fires the long and awful campaign has seen both donald trump and joe biden both focus on battleground states now some $19000000.00 votes has already cost the balance in the polls indicate that biden does have a lead nationwide but the race remains tight and some crucial states and gary has all the latest from miami. president donald trump began his campaign sprint of battleground states in chile michigan 4 years ago trump took this state breaking

the democratic party's so-called blue wall in this nation's industrial rust belt as election day approaches national polls show he's trailing biden. thank you very much i love you too he told supporters he saved the state's car industry that he could keep refugees away and continued his attacks on the former vice president biden will pledge america and the world and you one ridiculous war after of of the united think she's a tough guy remember what he said a year ago i'd like to take her behind the bar you know what. i really wanted to close i just thing he's got. in pennsylvania joe biden focused on taking back a state the president won by just over 44000 votes last election as part of a nationwide effort to mobilize the black vote he told people there's too much on the line to cities out communities of color have been hit particularly hard by the covert 900 pandemic the former vice president says he'll confront all forms of

inequality we're going to address systemic racism. bill real economic opportunity of equality to black america the pliers ever taken off every worker people ought to see they've seen how bad things are. trump's whistle stop tour saw him in iowa georgia and florida his message for voters didn't change it any of the rallies in north carolina he once again said he'll keep the economy open despite rising corona virus infections now might want to take rule a very hard place nationwide shutdown it won't affect you because you're already shut down i don't know why the heck what's going on with your state are you ready to help it out i think so. more than $90000000.00 voters have already cast their ballots but the u.s. postal service is struggling to deliver money on time the u.s.

judges now issued an order for the service to take extraordinary measures to get ballots delivered if the processing of mail in ballots slows especially in battleground states it may lead to long legal battles in more than half the states including here in florida mail in ballots don't count if they arrive after election day the postal service says its employees know it's all hands on deck but neither candidate nor voters want to see a delay in results and gallacher al-jazeera miami florida. well for the nation alan fashion joins us now live from washington d.c. and less than 24 hours now to go before polls i think both candidates i say taking the fight to pennsylvania today what's on the cards for the rest of the day. i think one of the most incredible things is on the final day of campaigning neither candidate is going to be in florida and the polls suggest that donald trump is slightly ahead there that seems to be an acceptance by the by any campaign but both campaigns staying well away from there certainly pennsylvania seems to be the key

as far as donald trump is concerned although interestingly enough he is going back to michigan and he will hold his final event in michigan in grand rapids same place he did in 2016 donald trump is very superstitious is repeated a lot of the things that he did in 2016 this time around particularly since he was released from hospital after being treated for covert is the side that all big events is this idea to go after joe biden he's talked about being a crew he's talked about being part of a criminal enterprise all echoes of what he said about hillary clinton in 2016 but michigan is annoyed choice because if you look at all the polls that have come out in the last 24 hours there is not a single poll were donald trump is anything less than 7 points behind joe biden so pennsylvania it appears is the key is far as the trump campaign is concerned what is interesting is that joe biden is trying to expand the battlefield he is going to go to ohio is hoping that he might be able to flip that from

a solid republican state over to his camp but also they're going to spend some time in georgia because the polls coming out of georgia are suggesting that that might flip from republican to democrat if that happens and it's still in there for the moment that could change the electoral map quite considerably and it would mean that joe biden might not have to win pennsylvania but we know he's keen to win there because that's the state where he was born to feels it's part of who he is and so. he would really really like to win pennsylvania not to the extent of losing everything else but it's certainly one state he wants to win so it's going to be a very interesting 24 hours who can expect more rallies and insults in the coming hours it will be indeed with that whole incident with the bus and we already saw there clear animosity heading towards election day and i see the government is also taking some security precautions and on always the norm around this time how real do people fail the threat of violence is in the aftermath of this fires. well john

what's really odd here in washington d.c. is all their own the white house and even miles away from the white house people are boarding up businesses that's something that we've never really seen the after elections before that people are really concerned that there's going to be some sort of trouble no if you look over my shoulder you see the white house just in front of the white house is the road they used to be open to traffic the last includes known since the clinton days and then there is lafayette park and from lafayette park there is a fence in front of it so people can't get into lafayette park but they're building more barriers all the road in the white house with anti climb fences to stop people getting anywhere near the white house campus in the hours after the election no matter which way the result goes in fact one person said to me it's almost like they're trying to build a green zone here in the middle of washington d.c. we also know that 250 national guardsmen have been put on standby you're obviously deeply concerned about the trouble just over my shoulder is the charge to of course

where protesters were moved in this summer so that don't try to could have his his photo shoot so there is a concern that there will be some trouble if people don't get the result the war on either side could be responsible for it so that is why businesses are boarding up fences are going up and national guardsmen are being put on standby. valen the ground for us and washington d.c. we're having the all the latest from out of action right here on out as their banks have. well there's plenty more ahead for you this news hour including a plea for help from members of a colombian group that was once feared across the country. we report from germany as it goes back into coronavirus walk down to tackle a rising number of new infections. christiane or an alter marks his return from the coronavirus in style if eventis peace will have all the action for you.

clean up and rescue operations have begun in the philippines after a super typhoon hit the country at least 16 people died in the storm and 3 others are missing there's extensive damage to homes and one province has even reported around 90 percent of its infrastructure damaged and granny was one of this is strongest typhoons our correspondents are going to has all the latest from albania province which has seen some of the west damage. we joe very early today to buy and that usually takes about 9 hours but it took us 13 hours to get here because along the way there were many roads that were difficult to cross because of the very appalling electricity lines and also some areas that are still quite flooded now what we did is with straight to the area believe the worst hit by going to be it is a town called boston alibi and we spoke to civilians there who showed us basically

what a farmland community used to be now it's just been completely rubble and mud more than 300 homes have been believed to have been very there or either swept away with spoken to civilians who said they are grateful they're able to do were able to survive but only with clothes on their back basically because they had to flee they lost everything their homes their livelihoods others are actually with the backhoe operator as he was busy digging through the the rubble hoping that there is so survivors you know so this is quite a difficult situation indeed the bobbin and that's just one area among the many areas that actually has been severely affected by the strongest storm going to hit this year. well to the corona virus pandemic known as the number of covert 1000 infections rises across europe governments there are imposing tough new restrictions on journeys brought in what's being described as a wave breakers shut down restaurants bars and other recreational facilities will

remain closed until the end of the month there's also a limit on the size of outdoor gatherings and portugal the government has asked the president to declare a state of emergency now some just step would clear the way for measures restricting the movement of people as well as cutting social gatherings and in the u.k. england as head for an even tougher lockdown starting on thursday non-essential businesses that will be closing for a whole month wales scotland and northern ireland have their own restrictions in place and we'll get more on germany's new lockdown with john mccain who's in bell and very shortly but 1st let's speak to paul brennan who is and london pool your westminster where we are expecting to hear again from barstow information on today he's in a very difficult position here i mean some are saying it's his own fault. well indeed boris johnson will say that he's been forced to do this because of the data the data which appears to show that hospital bed softening up fast that the infection rate and the number of deaths could be and i say twice as high as the 1st

wave and that the virus is spreading even faster than anticipated but as you say the reality is that he staked a lot of political capital on the idea of regional lockdowns and a 3 tier restriction system because you know. carried on with that despite the advice of his senior scientific advisory group and. the pressure from the opposition party the labor party as well for several weeks in fact criticizing kissed ahmed the labor leader for wanting to recklessly shut down the economy something that boris johnson has now been forced to do so there is a huge amount of sympathy in many quarters for boris johnson's position here and even his own backbench members of parliament many of them are unhappy feeling that instagram brady who's the spokes person for those backbench is saying that the measures that is being introduced by the government will be regarded as evil if they were brought forward by its hotel it's hereon regime so there is foment both

inside and outside of the parliament building behind me and pull any chance then that m.p.'s can vote down the top down panel and stay. well i made that. realistically now and the reason why is because the opposition party the labor party will support a lockdown you know that they believe that it should have come in sooner and so they will support it so although there will likely be quite a sizeable rebellion among conservative members of parliament members of porous johnson's own party he's likely to get colloquially might be described as a thicket from those that members of parliament it won't be enough to deregulate the legislative program that he has to put through in the vote that will take place on wednesday paul brennan now with all the latest from last month's trying on them thank you very much paul well let's now speak to dominic came he joins us live from dallas dominic how are those new restrictions being received in general.

the 2 arguments about the restrictions that have been brought in in germany one of them is a practical argument the other is an ethical argument the practical argument is made by people who run bars and restaurants or who operate services which are open to the public which are now having to close to the public certainly many many different companies saying that they're angry that they tried to make their companies corona safe and yet now they have to close down then the ethical one the ethical argument is put across by certain members of the rights of the far right of politics who believe that to force people into closures into lockdowns is to erode their individual human rights their liberties it has to be said that the majority of politicians and indeed surveys suggest a majority of the population grudgingly believe yes it's a good idea to go back into light form of lockdown rather than to see the numbers go up and it's the numbers going up which motivate the government angle america is

currently giving a news conference in a building not too far away from me but she's been speaking about the reasons behind this lockdown taking questions from journalists but always. i'm ringing home the point that the metric that matters to the government here and to the robert cock institute which tabulates all the information to do with covert 90 they say that because more than 127 new infections of corona are happening every day per $100000.00 residents it means that they are not able to track or to trace how those infections came about and who calls them in 75 percent of the cases they say that metric has to come down by at least half flaps more than half for them to be able to regain control of how this pandemic is going and one other point to make which is that almost a 3rd of all the infections that have happened in germany since the pandemic began have happened in the last 7 days that is the reason why the government here has

brought in this lockdown despite the protestations from certain industries and that's why they say that bars restaurants and other kinds of services have to close for the rest of this month dominick for us on the ground and balun bank sam wants dominic while the head of the world health organization himself has gone into south quarantine titles that hunnam gabrielle came into contact with someone who is now tested positive for covert 19 he says he's feeling well and has no symptoms and now the u.s. president says he might fire one of america's most respected infectious disease experts. i. don't tell anybody but let me wait till a little bit after like. and they've actually as one of the need of members and the trumpet ministrations coronavirus task force has become more outspoken about the u.s. president's handling of this pandemic saying that trump has repeatedly ignored his

advice trump has previously expressed concern about the criticism he would get if he fired before election day well it is now time for the weather and here's everson with the outlook for election day in the u.s. . however that the weather's looking lousy fine in trying to cross much of north america we have got some basin places a plateau rolling across ontario quebec and it's was canadian maritimes in northeast of the us will also see some basin places of cloud and rain around new england but that's aside it is election day looks fine and dry a brisk wind up towards the northeast but not too bad for most pretty much wall to wall sunshine it is looking good because some wetter weather around the pacific northwest into that western side of canada that will slide across the rockies as we go on into were when state is pushing across the mountain states here but for many as you can see the fine weather continues and if anything the temperature is recovering so things started cheering quite nicely in terms of the temperatures

certainly plenty of sunshine around not so much sunshine across the caribbean we have what is now hurricane easter making its way across the western side of the caribbean just been upgraded from a tropical storm will see that wet weather punching its way into one nicaragua some parts could see maybe 600 millimeters of rain over the next few days staggering amounts of rainfall and that is a lot it's a lead to life threatening floods then that wet weather stretches from panama into honduras with wet weather there too for much of jamaica. well still ahead here on al-jazeera. holding out her 2 children and taking a toddler rescued from the rubble in technique 3 days after a powerful. leader tanzania's main opposition party is a rest and head of cloud mass protests against the president's victory in last week's election. and then support find out just what sparked these wild

celebrations and if things top football only all about coming up with. it's one of the most consequential elections in u.s. history and i'll just 0 we'll be there every step of the way 9 hours of live coverage up to the minute results as they come in with correspondents across the u.s. and the rest of the world al-jazeera brings you a unique global perspective on the u.s. elections 2020. join me richelle carey is up at the front questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talk and political debate. from britain on al-jazeera. a story of love family and freedom going from i was 8 years old you were at school you heard the sounds of large explosions. and the hardships faced in captivity they came

for me a midnight they told me to leave my son i said how can i raise him i saw so much pain in the eyes of the other female prisoners. pricing. on al-jazeera. the. so again on the stand here today in doha let's remind you of our top stories here this hour at least 19 people have been killed and 22 others injured during a gun battle inside kabul university that attack ended just in the last hour multiple attackers into the campus earlier on monday and security forces killed 3 of them. came up and rescue operations have begun in the philippines after a super typhoon goni the country at least 16 people died in the storm 3 others were

maimed missing there's extensive damage to homes and basic infrastructure. and donald trump and joe biden have just one day of campaigning left before the presidential election a judge has over the postal service to take extraordinary measures to ensure the votes ought to have it on time. while one issue where the presidential candidates have shown stark differences is the environment let's take a look at their records and proposals trump withdrew from the paris climate agreement and $27000.00 just a year off for signed under the obama biden administration he said it was unfair to the u.s. and leaving it save jobs but the former vice president says he rejoined that agreement if elected trump has removed multiple regulations allowing drilling in previously protected areas while biden promises gracious funding for renewable energy while banning new oil and gas drilling on public lands trump says emissions

continue to go down under his administration but some attribute that to initiatives taken by state governors and local men as well biden is proposing the u.s. beach net 0 carbon emissions by 2050 his 2 trillion dollars plan would be paid for by increasing taxes on corporations and wealthy americans while bill mckibben is an environmentalist and shaman distinguished scholar in environmental studies at middlebury college in vermont he says addressing the climate crisis depends not only on who's president but also who controls congress. the u.s. put more current 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 in 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 accords called for the impact on jobs of moving towards ruble energy is all to the good there 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 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 us that's willing to work with him if he does then there's probably room for really quick and decisive action as we used the depth of the pandemic caused recession is a kind of lever to move quickly towards big infrastructure spending that will help

us address this even larger crisis. swing state of pennsylvania in the last u.s. presidential election that he promised to bring back coal and manufacturing jobs to the economy but in the midst of this current financial problems once again a cultural sense of innocence christensen has. of pittsburgh. donald trump or joe biden it's hard to tell who is more popular in western pennsylvania but there's one thing almost everyone in this industrial zone outside of pittsburgh seems to agree on the importance of natural gas a letter sent to both candidates crediting the industry with revitalizing the local economy was signed by commissioners from 3 counties and both political parties they point to this massive plant being built by the energy giant shell as an example of the economic growth spinning off from the industry including an increase in manufacturing jobs which president trump has been attempting to take credit for the

democrat party age bracket they call good beautiful clean coal. they hate america you know energy a job by you will shut it all down he's going to in fact joe biden has called for an end to federal subsidies for oil and gas and no new permits when it comes to drilling on federal land but not an end to fracking adverts rendition from their own yes the shell petrochemical complex under construction behind me here will eventually take by products from fracking and turn them into plastics 6000 plus people are currently employed building this facility and that's helped drive up average income in this county 55 percent that was before the coronavirus brought the economy to a halt here and nationwide in the last year beaver county has seen factories close and layoffs a racing many of the gains i think the striking thing is that the race is as

competitive as it is in pennsylvania despite the strong numbers leading up to the pandemic the strong economic numbers the director of the beaver county chamber of commerce says managing the pandemic is a top concern for local businesses large and small many folks just don't know what it's going to look like this year. will people have the confidence to shop in a way that they normally words will become to stores physically or will they turn to online and when they go online for our local chamber of commerce we want them to shop locally as much as possible the chamber is careful not to endorse a candidate but voters on either side point to the handling of the virus as a top reason to support their candidate we're dealing with somebody who changed the world for us unfortunately the coronavirus came and attacked us all and i think that mr trump has done a wonderful job but i feel like biden is just doing better with the whole thing to

gain on i feel like he's being more careful and caring about the people who can best manage the virus and the economy may be open to debate but there is no question these issues are important to voters in this election christine salumi al jazeera beaver county pennsylvania. a 3 year old child has been found alive and after being buried under rubble for $65.00 alice the young girl was rescued along with her mother and 3 other siblings and as a man they were found in an apartment building which had collapsed and friday's ass quake and a 14 year old was also found alive in the rubble she'd been trapped there for almost 60 hours at that point crowds chant as rescue workers may have turned to an ambulance more than 70 people have now been confirmed dead but crews are still working to try to find more survivors. also cools down mention.

confrontations with the police they're afraid of being even worse killed what the opposition leaders are banking on right now i think is the international community when they are calling for this mass protests they were demanding a fresh election they were demanding the disbandment of the electoral commissions and also calling upon the international community would like the african union the european union countries like the u.s. to essentially reject these elections not to legitimize what the opposition leaders are calling a sham election well algeria will get a new constitution after a proposal to change it was backed by nearly 67 percent versus and sunday's referendum despite the lower turnout of just over 23 percent and now be a limit on presidential terms and more power allocated to the parliament and judiciary the government says it wants to appease those who took part in a nationwide rallies the toppled president bush official last year
