protesters also at the scene and. tried to seek some kind of refuge in inside streets but at the same time however authorities are telling us that these 2000 plus he least men who were deployed for fear of violence today will remain on the ground in case there is yet another flare up of violence that we saw earlier today and meantime we know that the verdict it was released it took 5 years to reach this for addict why so long. well this is being called the biggest trial of an anti fascist organization since the nurnberg trials and it was supposed to. take for this to run for just 18 months but it well into greece's financial crisis that meant that there were a lot of stright lawyers who were refusing to attend shall bring down the courtroom and there were also facilities that were not available i remember one instance they

couldn't find a video projector to project evidence that was brought into the case by the prosecution also another circumstance where there was a key meeting in the room that forced the trial to be suspended but ultimately it also refract greece it is very very slow and problematic just this and how just takes forever to get things that judy kaye did here which of course however has become an issue for the government which believes in says in his firm in saying that it will want to remedy the situation what kind of implications does the verdict have now for the ruling of the government. well for the government it really. spouse nothing substantively because this was a work of justice and in fact for the particular government the conservative

government this was something that it wanted was this particular government it was this particular party that launched this crackdown again golden dawn so there is a huge sigh of relief that that is not crowd the and. far right extremism in greece with the end of this trial there's still a lot of that look in around and that still has yet to be addressed actively in this country campaigning and ficarra sava joining us from athens thank you. and let's turn to some other stories making news around the world the european parliament has voted in favor of significantly reducing greenhouse gases by 2030 lawmakers agreed on a 60 percent cut across the bloc compared to 990 levels that would require a sharp drop in the use of coal and have huge implications for all sectors it still needs the approval of member states. facebook has banned from its platforms all

accounts that support q anand's conspiracy movement the social media company says that the move is part of its efforts to clamp down on misinformation ahead of the u.s. election q. and promotes stories alleging that u.s. president trump is waging a secret war against an international pedophile ring. saying in the u.s. democratic presidential candidate joe biden says that he and donald trump should not have a debate if the president is still infected with the coronavirus biden and trump are due to hold a 2nd televised debate next tuesday meanwhile the president has abruptly crawled off negotiations on a major and coronavirus stimulus package for the u.s. economy this after congress failed to reach agreement on a price tag democrats including biden blasted trump for abandoning the american public amid the pen demick the site of one of the bloodiest battles in the us civil

will thank you all for being here used as the backdrop for joe biden's cool from unity thank you. today once again we're a house divided that my friends can no longer be we're friends you too many crises we have too much work to do. we have to brighter future to have a bit shipwrecked on the shoals of anger and hate and division. it is presidential opponent appears to delight in division donald trump may still be recovering from cope with 19 but he's refused to let that stop play in a series of tweets about talks with democrats over coronavirus relief legislation the president declared i have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating

until after the election. u.s. stocks fell sharply on that bombshell. hours later trump appeared to row back a bit demanding congress approve extra cash for the airline industry as well as calling for handouts to help struggling americans. it all adds to a sense of chaos in the white house trump's team trying to keep his reelection campaign on track while the corona virus continues to spread. here with the president's senior adviser in chief speechwriter stephen miller just the latest to test positive. trump continues to play down the fire as even off to his 3 days in hospital. joe biden says he won't debate the president if he still infected well. i think if we do our job or we have

a very. good trump insists there face to face next week we'll go ahead division even here and yet this show goes on. a lot to break down here and we're joined by correspondent meyers fader who is standing by in washington my i'd like to begin 1st with the debates because we're looking at 2 more presidential debates that are planned later tonight the v.p. debate is going to take place what should we be expecting. yes certainly never a dull moment in washington what we're going to be looking for tonight is we are looking at vice president pence to smooth over shall we say the somewhat rough performance that people have been saying president trump gave in the 1st presidential debate now pence is a career politician a much more conventional politician and he is going to be looking to emphasize the good parts of trump's presidency the fact that the president up until recently had

a strong record on the economy a lot of job creation now a harris's task here is to make pence answer for everything that the trump administration has done wrong she is a career prosecutor she's known for these kind of very strong lines of questioning when she's in the senate but this is the 1st time that we've ever seen her in one of these one on one debate formats now the debate is going to be we can very well fairly assume all about cove it all about the pandemic with the president that is theoretically still recovering from it or recently had it appends is also the head of the task force the presidential task force to condemn the contain the pandemic and there is a lot to talk about there is the pandemic fallout there is the lack of economic recovery and harris's job is going to be go in there and make pence answer for all of this now an interesting thing to note by the way is that both of these candidates are going to be watched very closely because the presidential candidates

who they represent are both in their seventy's and harris especially eyes are going to be on her absolutely and let's talk a little bit more about the fact that trump has had 19 you might still be contagious how is this affecting the campaign now going forward. this is really much the 1000000 dollar question sarah we can't assume that trump wants to pick up his campaign schedule you know those big rallies with thousands of his supporters that's what gives them his energy that's what he really loves doing that's what his supporters love it's the centerpiece of his campaign and while he was in the hospital over the weekend he had to postpone or outright cancel several big rallies in some big key swing states so the campaign is going to be struggling to make up some ground there the biden campaign on the other hand is going to be using this to draw a bright line between how the trump administration has handled that pandemic versus how biden would handle

a pandemic emphasizing more health care for everyone emphasizing their pandemic recovery plan their economic recovery plan and going really hard in these swing states maya shrader joining us from washington thank you. and one of the hot button issues in the u.s. is always abortion pro-life event jellicoe christians make up a significant body of the electorate and for a candidate stance on abortion is often the old decision maker. poll when to indianapolis to meet some young religious voters with no doubt about who's box they would take on november 3rd christine mentoring meets fellow activists they are all devoted to the calls for student found inspiration in the bible which she takes this route. they are on their way to an abortion clinic to try to persuade women to keep their pregnancies. in tellico it's like her

make up 25 percent of u.s. voters most of them share a central goal to ban abortion. we are kind of the the last stop before that abortion we want to reach them one more time and so that's why we're here it's my duty to do what i can do here to persuade as many people to not have abortions as possible but ultimately that's in god's hands and one day they will have to give an answer to god. she and her fellow activists believe donald trump is as committed as they are to banning abortion abortion is such an important issue in our time and i cannot trust a president who believes that abortion is ok without the right to life we have nothing so if we're taking away innocent lives no one has right the right to life is so important and i'm seeing that from him and that's why i will be voting for

him. politics professor laura wilson from the university of indianapolis has been analyzing trump's supporters the evangelical vote is critical to donald trump's reelection they've been essential part of his base since he began running in 2016 and even though sometimes the president has wavered on policy issues the evangelicals have never wavered on their support for him and there's no generation gap in terms of the evangelical bloc you see this with younger voters obviously with older voters in their support as well and you don't see a difference in terms of age. christina studying to be a nurse in her spare time she's already trying to save lives one way talking with people about abortion another way she says is bible reading for trump there's a lot about donald trump that i don't like that i don't agree with but in the areas that he does promote truth and justice i pray that god would bless his administration heavenly father we thank you that you are of author of life and i

pray your office crucial support for her and her friends they are also praying for donald trump but he recovers and is reelected to fight with them against abortion. in other news a court in kenya has found 2 men guilty of involvement in an islamist attack on a shopping mall in nairobi and 2013 at least 67 people were killed in the mass shooting and subsequent days long siege at the upmarket westgate complex the court said that the 2 men helped to launch the attack carried out by the somalia based militant group al-shabaab a 3rd defendant was acquitted. and from the court in nairobi i am joined now by mary of. east asia east africa correspondent excuse me mariel was this verdict expected. so the verdict didn't provide much comfort to the families of the victims they expected new insights from

this ruling and also they actually expected that you know more suspects would be in the stock and also more suspects you know could be behind bars in the future but actually this ruling does this convicted to a man that where here in court today they. and 2nd they were not the masterminds of the attack they were also not the attack us themselves the attackers themselves are believed to be either dead or fled the scene during the 4 days siege when the attack happened in 2013 let's talk a little bit about the length that it actually took her to render this verdict why did it take so long. so this is the 1st high level complex terrorism case that's been tried in kenya so you have to collect a lot of evidence to actually make the case and that means that you have to determine you know if these suspects actually have supported those terrorist

organization to do that you have to praise the money you have to trace the form called you have to attribute those phone calls to the suspects they use alliss they use money mules and so it's very difficult to build such a case and you want to build it meticulously because you can't afford to have any mistakes that you make any mistakes so because otherwise the public and the people here in kenya they loosed and they lose trust into the judiciary system here this was such a horrific attack from al shabaab militants marielle just walk goes through how high the risk is remaining that something like this happens again in kenya. so since the westgate mall attack in 2013 there have been several and even deadly attacks in kenya and also in somalia committed so just to name just to remind you of 2 of them saw in 2015 there was a gruesome attack on the university in northern kenya and which more than 140 students and staff members were killed or just you know being close to here at

a luxury hotel last year there's been an attack of which more than 20 people died actually so if you ask kenyans they don't you know they don't ask themselves if there's going to be a next attack but when d.w. east africa correspondent mary thank you. the winner of the precisions nobel prize in chemistry has been announced in stockholm in this year's prize goes to jointly to the french scientists in menu well shop in ts and jennifer dowd now from the u.s. from for the development of the method for genome editing embroil swedish academy of sciences said that the technology is contributing to new therapies against cancer and inherited diseases the award comes with the shared prize money of around $1000000.00 euros. and speaking about her win earlier in berlin here is nobel laureate and man u. well. yes she did extra many congo and

to receive. from sweden i mean it sounds surreal that i says but i could not believe it even though i knew that it would happen one day the 20 pounds that crashed today just it and realize that it has happened let's get more on that i'm joined by derek williams from d.w. science here in the studio derek was the surprise it wasn't a surprise it's for one of the 1st times ever since i've been reporting on this it wasn't a surprise these these 2 researchers are kind of rock stars and in the science world because this discovery that they made really only 8 years ago has really changed completely changed the landscape and in a huge range of fields ranging from from from what we understand about how genes work so basic fundamental research to the cancer research to genetically modifying plants it's had it's made all of those things possible and so it's not surprising

in the least in fact i think they probably would have gotten it earlier if not for the fact that there's been an ongoing sort of patent battle and patent battle and with another group where dolly knows sort of famously said well you know we discovered tennis balls and they discovered green tennis balls and and actually i think that the nobel committee has sent a signal by only honoring the 2 of them to send a signal that that bats actually what they believe as well and it's really time and now that those issues have been largely resolved it's really time for them to get the prize so then let's break it down get into the details of what makes it so special well it's about genetic engineering and the problem is is basically the mechanics of it are a little too difficult or little too complicated to go into but basically they create what's called. what everybody calls genetic scissors which is which is this molecular tool that allows you to cut d.n.a. and not only cut it but cut it into very specific precise plates which is really

everything when you're when you're editing genes you have to cut it in very specific specific precise places because otherwise you get off target effects and and not only that but this molecular tool that they came up with is also relatively simple to use compared to older systems we've been able to do this for several decades but the older systems really really clunky and imprecise and this is extreme this is the opposite it's straightforward and precise and it's also it's also fairly fairly simple to use which means that labs all over the world have been able to employ it without investing a lot of money and a lot of really expensive equipment so for all of those reasons and others they've done really well with the nobel prize is supposed to do which is the ridge the original alfred nobel's for the greatest benefit to humanity and this falls sort of squarely in that category absolutely fascinating congratulations to them derek williams from thank you. and france has now recorded more than 11000 new

coronavirus cases in a single day as it continues to try and curb an alarming number of fresh infections the country imposed one of europe's trip to slow downs in the spring and has since wrapped up testing but that hasn't stopped the onset of a 2nd wave. lunchtime in the era of coronavirus the last time m.f. an e had fries she shared them with a friend who late to tested positive for 19 and then ventured temporaries testing center close to university here in surrey not far from paris but she never received her celts it was annoying because over my friend's well meeting i'd like apartments on a thing to just like you and i couldn't even good school like at them because physically when i cool so it was when. but we'll just stay home and do nothing but. i think you have to go through that it's not usual for test results to get lost in france

but waiting for them isn't unusual recently people here often had to sit tight for several days in some cases over a week to get an appointment and the result time during which many others could have been infected france was hit especially hard in the spring and the beginning of the covered 1000 pandemic that's why the country ramped up tests and it's now carrying out more than $1000000.00 per week like in this lab led by josh extremists he says the situation has improved. given the facts the requests were twice as high as we had to make sure that we could technically carry out the number of tests requested. only because from. here on today this situation is currently being resourced.

but directed testing is not the only solution cases are especially high in big cities like paris but the density of population is very high. this hospital in point of paris was going through a hard time during the 1st wave into our divorce court he notes in the covert dungeon response here he sees another main reason for the rise in numbers and france. the french population suffered a huge storm on during the 1st wave nevertheless with another wave we're seeing a relative lax behavior in people who. devotes personal responsibility is key in fighting the virus keeping a safe distance and meeting us few people as possible but since the virus is now heavily circulating in france the government is toughening rules in paris for example bars have to close down for now and on a somber note legendary rock a taurus and songwriter eddie van halen has died after

a long battle with cancer together with his brother alex in 1972 he formed the band that later became van halen 10 years after their family emigrated from the netherlands to pasadena california and hal and became one of the world's top selling bands with songs like. eddie van halen was born in amsterdam in 1955 and he moved with his family to los angeles in the 1960 s. he started life as a musician at the piano but later switched his ambitions to the guitar the rest is history eddie and his older brother alex from van halen in the $97.00 to his they had a distinctive style with and it is the infamous guitar solos and france band davy roths flamboyant taken the wrong dog shawna they appeal to people from all age groups. younger fans don't even know we have 11 other records i saw

with her if we get a taste of each one like the side which one they want to buy. so it's not for the money because we want to go out buy em all the hard rock bands release their 1st album in 1978 which shots into the top 20 on the american billboard charts making it one of the most successful debuts of the decade. eddie van halen it's pioneering that your technique and him a place in the rock school of fame alongside the likes of jimi hendrix and eric clapton in 2000 every just poll in the popular us music magazine voted him the greatest guitar player of all time. one of the greats indeed have you news coming up next on t.w.
