security agents acting within them targeting people right also reports of opposition factions that are realizing people within those camps so even at the best of times those camps aren't entirely safe places to be right yet the r.c. not exactly a safe place for refugees to go to in the first place especially the east of the democratic republic of congo markup. that's right one of the least they will pass the reasonable were only measures that the brain and probably. not the best of them to be a refugee in by any means the. conflict in more than twenty years or foreign interventions and local rebel groups the area itself is very stable the un peacekeeping mission there forty thousand of these refugees and there are many more in town than the one that in uganda well ok malcolm thank you very much for that

to europe and the whole world should be paying attention to may change that about it the. beautiful democrat did as a broad used within a couple of society to hold a vote on the political. and that should be respected as you heard the government is being accused of unfairly stifling debate in the past week spanish police entered several newsrooms in catalonia and warned editors they'd face criminal charges for publishing pro-rate referendum ads the barcelona court also blocks last week the official website of the catalan government which was devoted to the independence referendum but then the regional government just turned around and launched a new website anyway now the catalan president said in an interview on wednesday that the world of electronic communications does not have any borders they can shut down one website but if you know in advance this might happen you automatically launch a new one meanwhile the european free alliance

a european political coalition has launched a pro independence campaign as well with the hash tag hands off catalonia other people such as julian a sancia have weighed in offering their support here does everyone to support what he calls catalonia right to self determination while others have taken a different approach marie here tweeted the e.u. commission directly asking how long it will it will allow the spanish government to violate catalonia is civil rights now on the other side of this debate there's users such as this one who describes the referendum as an illegal vote that would deprive spaniards of their rights as citizens if you're in spain and following up ahead of the catalonia referendum on the first of october let us know what you think using the hash tag a j news grid. andrew thank you very much and a similar debate is going on right now in a very different part of the world in less than ten days iraq ie kurds will be voting in a referendum on whether their autonomy this region should become fully independent even though the vote isn't legally binding it has big regional implications the

kurdish regional parliament approved the referendum on friday the votes will take place in the provinces of the hoaxer money and erbil areas that are officially under his control disputed areas outside its administration came by both the kurdish government and baghdad also voting that includes the oil rich province of kirkuk and this us further on get the national government in baghdad which along with iran turkey and syria is against a vote they fear an independent kurdish state in iraq could fuel further separatism among their own kurdish populations mocked in orange there at the u.s. is also opposed to describing the vote as provocative and the stabilizing now in the last hour iraq's prime minister spoke to reiterate his opposition to the referendum taken as we are within one year on this constitution has been voted. on it by all the iraqi people including the one of the iraqi population so i think

to challenge the constitution in this manner there will be no. if you challenge the courts to show and if you challenge the borders of iraq on the border of the region then there will not be this is a public invitation to that countries in the region to violate your records which is very dangerous escalation. for less speak some more about this not to maria from top here in rome she joins us via skype she is a senior iraq analyst said the international crisis group a non-government organization that works to prevent and resolve conflicts maria welcome to the news great thank you very much for being with us a lot of opposition to this referendum the u.s. is asking that it be called off do you think they can convince the kurds massoud barzani not to go ahead with this vote will this happen well and they try to alongside with the u.k. and also the u.n.

to propose an alternative to muscle behind him but until now and the president must win by designing a theory. is the will of to go ahead with the referendum so anything can happen until the twenty four and over all of a september as has been before there is a grand will be handsaw we can expect anything to happen but until now the president resigning has reaffirmed that he will go ahead with it and at this point we also don't know anymore if. actually the dance of the international community to prevent that the referendum will take place they are going to anyway. they're going to heaven and it. will read the referendum since it has been called is a really creating a lot of instability. and as the prime minister hi there are five years set tell us more about the international community's reaction to this idea of an

independent kurdish state in iraq as you've said the americans are opposed every light alot on the kurds in the war against iceland even before that what about turkey though how do they feel about the idea of a kurdish state in iraq what is the current relations between turkey and erbil. well in the first place and i would have to say that with this referendum it emerges the contradictory policy of a western country is that the kurds some extent because they have as you rightly point out western countries that have relied on the kurds in the fight against isis and but they did not develop a political approach towards the kurdish issue in other words they did not confront and respond to the question of how the self this rumination of the kurds can and to some extent. exists also when they continue with your iraq's borders

right. there the position has been rather that tunnel will spawning they're trying to. smallman to and the west will think it was it should also because there are other to put in other parts of europe and the world there are many other people who come up and i close up the definition as in what concerns the turkish position it has been developing in all hundred years as we know between two thousand and twelve the start of the student civil war on terror to date turkey has been a key ally of the kurdistan democratic party which is the party of the president and the masses by sign and therefore there is a sort of a political alliance which has. led turkey to have the sort of the official officially that it was the referendum but also they might have to larry to any rate as they might hope that there will be some sort of the continued independence of muscle by signing and his party on the right of the kurdish issue is

a very complex one and i want to show our viewers this map on al-jazeera dot com now an estimated twenty five to thirty million kurds mostly live in iraq turkey syria and iran and they don't have an official homeland and continue to seek recognition. what are the different intentions of the different kurdish groups depending on where they are do they have the same objective. well i was it is a very difficult question but definitely and rule it is always that they want the ration of all kurds will be to have a state of their own that's obvious however in the different parts of the region where that in turkey is syria iraq and iran and there has been of course this isn't political movement different turkish political movement which i have also. see develop different strategies and different than years of national the

self-determination for instance in that at this moment in syria and in turkey the main empire that we need it's actually another part. to some democratic but at goodison. workers party k.k. in turkey and in syria a local branch of it and they have a very different sort of political plan that they're trying although muscovites not only for them it's more important and it's. a state that it doesn't seem to. be any and state so let's say that while the iraqi kurdistan now the end goal of having a state it's very clear when other parts it's not clear how it will evolve but the south in munitions and the research for statehood it's in general aspirational that means really all kurds in the region of the middle east and also and the asker maria from toppy thank you so much for your insight on this story thank you for

joining us on the news great. when i live here on the news great to taking a look at the different pictures the agencies are feeding us and i want to show you this one here because we're going to hear a bit more about this in just a moment this is sorry in the u.k. and police activity there after yesterday's incident on a train where there was an explosion and more than twenty people injured let's speak to london news center for more on this story mary i'm. yes as you're saying following the police investigation continues some progress has been made with the searching of a residential address south of london in connection with that explosion on the london underground on friday twenty nine people were injured early an eighteen year old man was arrested in the southern town of dover he was detained in the port area the main departure point for ships to the european mainland police are calling it a significant arrest and u.k.'s terror threat rival has now been raised from severe

to critical and he joins us live now from london and tell us first about the raid on this residential property anything. it's been carried out on a residential property in the suburb if you like of greater london called sunbury on is not far from heathrow airport rather sedate part of the west. and residents have been speaking on local media here saying how surprised they were by that raid but it's been linked by police to the arrest early on saturday in the court of dover in kent of that eighteen year old man we don't know anything more about him police are saying that they're not releasing any details right now for investigative reasons people not to speculate alter or for the media to actually release any details that might emerge until they do so they are saying

that they're going as fast as they can in the last couple of hours or so across an addict the head of the metropolitan police has been saying that her officers are working flat out to find out who planted the device during the rush hour on friday whether any other people were involved in helping that person whether in fact there are any other materials at large as well that has been talk in the media here of the chemical involved being the same as what was used in the. manchester bombing back in may although that hasn't been confirmed the threat level nationally was raised on friday to the highest level critical meaning that the or forty's expect an attack imminently and on saturday after a rather meeting of the government's emergency cabinet they said that they were keeping that level critical even though one person had been arrested so suggesting that there may well be more arrests to follow in the coming days that level usually

then goes back down to what it was before severe and that's been the experience in previous attacks here in britain but of course people want to know how we can stop things like this happening again in future thanks very much nadine barber with all the latest in central london. and i'm moving to north korea where leader kim jong un says his nation will complete its nuclear program is about to achieve what he calls an echo librium a real force for the united states following the latest missile test and as andrew thomas reports the international community appears split about how best to react their image is designed to convey delight confidence and power the north korean regime says kim jong un personally guided friday's launching drill it was shown on north korean t.v. on saturday the presenter said the test to be a success in the force on twelve rocket was now operationally ready the regime says

kim's final goal is a coup librium a real force with the u.s. on how to stop him there's a split u.s. president donald trump talking to troops on the seventieth anniversary of the u.s. air force suggests they could have a role. after seeing your capabilities and commitment here today i want us to them to know that our. minutes listing just read our posts thank you. president donald trump already said sanctions passed by the united nations security council on monday were nothing compared to what will have to happen but others including his ambassador to the united nations stressed sanctions any time we have strangled their economic situation at this point that's going to take a little bit of time but it has already started to take effect the united nations security council met again on friday and condemned the latest launch but there was no suggestion in their statement of further sanctions and from china

a renewed call for talks with the year of age allusion also calls for reopening dialogue every job in the issue of consultations the regulations should be implemented comprehensive lee but south korea no longer wants dialogue in a big change in its position its president now says talks are impossible in the current climate he did use quite exceptional language he said that there is no chance for dialogue and he said that south korea will be able to destroy north korea there's a sense that moon has been forced into this corner by north korea that he's made all these overtures to dialogue he said that south korea's willing to engage in military and humanitarian talks and north korea. south korea is extremely wary of military action on kim jong un's regime it could provoke an attack on this city seoul in revenge but north korean mid and long range nuclear weapons threatening american cities might make the u.s.

think twice in coming to south korea's defense if the young decided to make a first move you wouldn't know there was any threat in seoul it's a little more than a day and the atmosphere is completely calm here say they're particularly worried for behind the scenes the house being a subtle for. important shift towards a more assertive position the one closer to the president trumps in chinese president xi undertones how does it so. bangladesh's prime minister will demand more international help to deal with the range of crisis in a speech at the un general assembly four hundred thousand refugees have now crossed into bangladesh in the last three weeks playing a military crackdown in myanmar and hospitals in bangladesh is struggling to cope with the influx as tundra choudhry now reports i mean cards was our government district hospital every day dozens of rowing a refugees are admitted here with various animals including bullet injury mine explosion injuries this hospital has only to arm gets bad and it cannot cope with

a kurdish an arab coalition were wounded near the city of dera zor the s.d.f. in syrian forces are conducting parallel but separate offensive against eisel osama bin jawad it explains what is yet another confusing battle in syria's complex war. isis been steadily losing territory if you remember on our website interactive page right here this portion that you see in the yellow and red used to be all black let me show you the eastern side of syria where we've been getting a lot of news lines from this is the their results are area on the right which is oil rich and has been the gateway between iraq and syria for iceland fighters and if you zoom in slightly here the yellow part is for the syrian defense forces which are u.s. backed in the red part is the russian and the iranian backed syrian government forces in these two areas these are the strikes which have been carried out in the azores which killed as the a fighters now know that the russians or the syrian

government has confirmed if they carried out the attack and this blue line that you see is the euphrates river which is the dividing line between the two sides as they squeeze out eisel from the neighborhoods india as zoar now is unified to say that they will not let the government cross the river the euphrates river that is and the syrian regime is insisting that it will target all those who stand in its way including u.s. backed fighters it's also worth noting here that according to the syrian observatory for human rights nearly eight hundred people have been killed in the last four months the deaths have been attributed to iceland tax u.s. led coalition strikes and russian attacks. now if you're in the us and feel like protesting against or for something saturday could well be the best day for it's there more than fair to events planned for washington d.c. including approach demonstration called the mother of all rallies that also be a left leaning event called the mosque protect american democracy while the

neighboring state of virginia is bracing for a new confederate states of america. is in richmond virginia for us to tell us what this is all about the organizers have said the extreme right isn't welcome at this rally well they be attracted to the event. what's interesting about introduction he said we're bracing for this rally we came we braced we saw they basically left actually there were about six or seven of these confederate neo confederate organizers rally is here why the statue robot leave here which is one of the main federal structures here in richmond richmond is locals once the capital of the confederacy and there's a huge debate underway in this city as to what to do with all the confederate started a boulevard of confederate statues here and like many other cities around the country there is a debate underway as to whether one should have in this day and age to those.

who attempted to break apart the united states not only that we're attempting to defend the right to own slaves so these confederates came from tennessee and they said that they had been asked by people originally come to defend the statue because this debate is under way here as well they hung around for about maybe an hour or so then they were escorted away by the police and as we've seen since the violence in charlottesville that we saw in august when hundreds of new nazis outright for no confederates converged on that quiet city not too far away from here. you know then it was that you know most of the violence ensued in one person was killed since that whenever we hear prams confederacy or new nazis to gather they are immediately met by hundreds counter-protests that's exactly what happened here so there are about seven or so confederate folk here and hundreds of counter-protests surrounding this ring basically and then after a while they left that may sound all very well and good but and this is why this

has so much attention is we're waiting for that those forces of the out right to resurface once again the same forces who organized violence charlottesville rally they we knew they weren't at least overtly planning on being here today and there was no plans are we understood but we're waiting for them to come and we're waiting for them to come to richmond perhaps because this was the start of the confederacy once so it's sort of a waiting game to see when they rio right now they seem to be scared off by all the counter protesters but they still have an enormous influence on policy in the united states will keep a close eye on those protests with thank you very much for the moment. richmond and some of the protests we've been watching in the united states have taken place in st noise after a very divisive verdict and to tell us more one hundred hundreds of people demonstrated throughout friday night after the acquittal of a white former police officer who shot and killed a black man in two thousand and eleven protesters chanted no justice no peace no racist police outside the courthouse in downtown st louis after the missouri judge

read the verdicts on friday police later used tear gas to clear roadways of demonstrators after some protests turned violent the mayor's home was damaged and the governor said he needed to mobilize members of the national guard to support local law enforcement now anthony lamar smith fled from police in december two thousand and eleven after after an alleged drug deal outside a fast food restaurant shortly after the chase began an officer by the name of jason stokley was filmed saying this. so it took four years for charges to be brought in this particular case and members of the community have been outraged by so many aspects of it for them it was a clear case of first degree murder now the advancement project is a civil rights organization which has a very good thread on twitter on the particular details of this case including the fact that officer stokley was accused of planting a weapon in smith's car but testified that he acted in self-defense the weapon had

the cops d.n.a. on it but not smith's members of the law enforcement community have been divided on this case as well at least one organization representing black police officers in the city believed that he was a murderer during the course of that investigation there were several things that we found a lorme that violated policy that or that led us to believe that his his actions were that of someone that had committed murder that he wasn't defending himself in the line of duty and we saw the videotape we were troubled by the multiple trips that officer starkly made back to his vehicle after he shot and leaving more smiting we know for sure he brought at least one extra good to work with him that day that he was not supposed to have and then go and has recovered from actually more smith only his d.n.a. is on underneath the screens where you assemble and disassemble it and his d.n.a. is under that that's a problem along with his statement that i'm going to kill this guy when you step.

now the st louis area was rocked by protests three years ago when an unarmed black teenager michael brown was killed and ferguson the officer in that case was also acquitted and since then officers across the country have been acquitted or simply not charged in many other cases so this is another highly divisive and emotional case especially if you look on line now travis here says jason stokley got a trial and was found not guilty by a judge anthony lamar smith didn't get a trial and was sentenced to death by jason stokley while allison posted this message of a woman saying i'm a mother when will my black children matter so many people are expressing similar sentiment if you check out twitter that the u.s. hasn't made much progress since ferguson and that cops can still kill with impunity many others on twitter are angry that the protesters marched in the first place so i had to keep monitoring that situation and we also hear from you let us know what you think especially if you're in the st louis area you can get in touch with me directly i met in your ship oh or tissues that has tagged a.j.
