islands against muslims u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says i beg your pardon the un human rights chief is threatening to seek security council intervention the stream is up next on al-jazeera. al jazeera is a very important source of information for many people around the world all the cameras have gone i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going to talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. hi adhamiya ok and your stream today is young don't tell killing you. i'm evolution of the superbug i remember. right now. i'm coming to the same time. i'm
1:01 pm
a hard time again and i'll be bringing your comments directly to the guests today so what is the overprescription of antibiotics the lack of access to the right drugs or even. actually doing to your. colleagues. in the. world it is the into the room.
1:02 pm
life before antibiotics was grim people die because of some of the most basic illnesses and childhood mortality numbers were sky high but that changed in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight with arguably one of the most important developments in modern medicine when alexander fleming discovered penicillin he knew he was saving millions of lives from infections that just a few years earlier would have been fatal he predicted that organisms would become penicillin resistance and little more than a decade later researchers found that bacteria had already developed resistance to the drug now almost a century later antibiotic resistant infections kill more than twenty thousand people a year in just the u.s. and u.k. and more than seven hundred thousand i nearly around the world so how do we get
1:03 pm
from miracle drug to superbug here's what happened antibiotics are often prescribed unnecessarily for infections that are likely to go away without treatment in many countries antibiotics are also sold over the counter without a procedure and because a future as you said is very very unclear a whole host of different scenarios could now be over old alarm viols by the spanish government when they convene for a special meeting of the cabinet on saturday could mean at the very worst the suspension of the whole of the cattle and leadership possibly even the arrest of carlos carlos push him on it himself it could mean other things the control of the regional police being taken over by the interior ministry as well as other financial constraints being imposed upon catalonia what's going to happen next is very very unclear but it's hard to imagine the next few days going by without there being any outpouring of support amongst the independence movement for the catalan
1:04 pm
government and of course the e.u. capitals as well as the e.u. had quarters in brussels watching with great anticipation they had hoped. would not come this far the one thing that madrid has in its favor to a certain extent is that no nation on the globe has actually said it would recognize an independent catalonia. yes and i think perhaps it's fair to say one of the failings of the independence movement was being able to explain wat or what practically independence would look like of course beyond all the sound of the fury in the energy of the independence movement what happens if independence does happen they would have to catalonia would have to get on with a potentially hostile neighbor spain and and from a european union that has made very clear that it's not going to sit on the fence about this we've heard from young called juncker the head of the european commission who has basically said that he does not want catalonia to secede from
1:05 pm
spain out of a fear of other regional disputes and other independence claims across europe affecting the unity of the european union so you get a very clear sense right now the catalonia is alone in this struggle for the moment turn evil leave it of course follow vents with you in barcelona very closely thank you. let's go to south asia now at least after at least forty three afghan soldiers have been killed in an assault on a military camp in may have on the in kandahar province now the taliban says it was behind the attack let's go straight to jennifer glass who's in the afghan capital kabul with the very latest what more information seems to be. arriving in terms of this particular attack jennifer. also it happens in the middle of the night the taleban detonating what they call an armored vehicle at the chatham you afghan army katmai ones that's in western kandahar province near the
1:06 pm
border with helmand it's home to about sixty afghan army soldiers only two of those soldiers. survives on harm's not wounded as you say forty three were killed nine were wounded six are still missing the afghan ministry of defense says that ten afghan soldiers ten afghan fighters were also killed in that attack after the detonation of the of the vehicle but the taleban storms that army base and of course it was in the middle of the night just before three o'clock in the morning so many of those soldiers would have been asleep and the afghan taliban saying that they had taken control of the base for a brief time we're not exactly sure what the status of the situation is now but it has been a very brutal week for afghan security forces earlier this week on tuesday in paktia and in and in gaza and our province eighty people were killed in two separate taleban attacks sixty five of them afghan security forces police afghan
1:07 pm
police and they have targeted the attack last night the afghan army but of course jennifer we've seen it ups in violence by various groups mainly the taliban twenty seventeen hospitals attack military bases attacked the seems to be this ongoing upsurge it sort of wave as doesn't it ups and downs but they all continuous attackers the just don't go away. that. that's right the taliban seem to be want to make clear to the afghan government and the american government which has announced an open ended support for the afghan military forces that it can continue to attack where and when it wants brutal attacks you so as you say we've seen across the country with the afghan military and security forces are losing about twenty soldiers and policemen and intelligence officers a day with the double that number injured in particularly brutal attacks just this
1:08 pm
week one hundred twenty killed most of them afghan security civilians also very much caught in the crossfire then the taliban has come under increasing pressure the united states. as i said is sending several thousand more troops but in a promise to continue to support the afghan security forces the afghan government continues to press the taliban to come to the peace table with afghan president ashraf ghani saying only yesterday that if they don't come to the peace table that the security forces afghan religious leaders and the afghan public will stand against them and of course both the americans and the afghans putting pressure on pakistan to stop support of the taliban as well as the taliban fighting back very hard it's been a very very difficult summer fighting season if they're so for there hasn't really been any cold weather it is the snows that usually slow up the fighting over the winter season but the taliban showing no letup in its violent attacks against the afghan military and security forces before that i believe that jennifer thanks very
1:09 pm
much for the update. south asia let's go to east africa where somalia's president has called for his people to unite against the group al-shabaab is being blamed for saturday's massive bomb attack which killed more than three hundred people the president was addressing thousands of protesters who tried it in a show of defiance and fury possible from boca dish. on the streets of mogadishu the wast single of talk of the city's history got an intense public and. while you are certain of what they're going to go when we are suffering and enough is enough it's time we stood up and fought our enemy as the crowds of protesters side towards it that is a blast site that was topped by somali police an uptick in your peacekeepers but the cops pressed forcing the police to shoot them back to disperse the goldfish all morning. edition's say they come out of the difficult questions they say that i'm
1:10 pm
going to. they believe talk. for what they call afraid to protect them. they say somalia security forces friend to identify them destruct. of the national emergency operations center the human toll of the blast is clear. days after the autopsy or tips of the injured and missing keep coming to register themselves. father hussein a mother of two traveled from her village one hundred twenty kilometers away. been a toothbrush vendor at the limit of five junction where the truck exploded. i last spoke to him two hours before the blast i don't know if he is dead or alive . the huge casualty figure has all but one place patrols in the city they quickly run out of bad blood or medicine forcing them to tun away some of the injured for
1:11 pm
elective zavos yet to receive medical attention their patience is wearing thin. my son is missing one part of his head on the wound is infected. yet they keep asking me to wait i can't wait i need help for my son. international aid has been quick to arrive in somalia with tuckey cuts and kenya leading efforts to airlift the most seriously wounded government officials say more help is needed it is beyond our capacity so we urgently need we don't have blood and we don't have the facilities for us even to locate the missing people. the explosion has shattered hopes of recovery in an impoverished country left with by decades of conflict somalia remains from a country in shock mohammed at the wall just. plenty
1:12 pm
more ahead here all the al-jazeera news hour including iraq's government admits civilians were attacked during the operation to recapture kirkuk province from kurdish peshmerga forces. also a socialite often described as russia's paris hilton and her candidacy for the presidency. and install the defending world series baseball champion save themselves from elimination other will be here with the story. pressure is mounting on me and in the past day the united nations the us and human rights groups have all condemned the violent crackdown on the range of muslims in rocky and state u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says his country holds a million miles military leadership accountable for the violence amnesty international has accused me of our security forces of crimes against humanity alleging they are engaged in
1:13 pm
a systematic rape and murder of hundreds of ranger almost six hundred thousand ranger have fled to neighboring bangladesh to escape the violence now the un human rights chief is threatening to seek the security council's intervention if the perpetrators are not punished desired riot i'll hussein's with al-jazeera as mike whether. the attacks by the american salvation army was met by a very methodical and well planned well organized response that did not seem to us to be anything remotely like counterinsurgency but a wholesale displacement of people from northern rakhine to cox bazaar and bangladesh and so it had all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing now what monitors had made clear as well as that it's not just the enforced removal of people it's also the destruction of their homes to prevent them from brittany i mean the
1:14 pm
confirmation of this will come in two forms one is harmony they're willing to accept back if it's only a trickle then this confirms the ethnic cleansing cleansing hypothesis and the second of course is that all of this would have to be confirmed when one day surely those who have committed or perpetrated these atrocities are hauled up before a court and answer to a judge so that the victims can sense that to a certain extent justice will be served him we in particular for many years have asked that we not just have an office in the ungrown but they will be given unfettered access to northern rakhine whenever we feel when deem it necessary and this second part was not forthcoming when we made it an explicit request of uncensored she in october last year to send in investigators at a time she was telling the international community that the military had completed
1:15 pm
its operation in the wake of that attack last year satellite imagery made very clear that they had not yes and today. they received further information that what we're seeing in northern rakhine is still continuing what we have. continuing reports of extra judicial killings reports of sexual abuses of the most horrific kind of course including rape this is still ongoing notwithstanding the claim that the military operations have largely wound down this does not seem to be the case but the idea that this could be conducted with impunity i think must be put behind us and and then if. it is a myanmar resistant then security council should consider the measures of course to be applied well correspondent of a child he has been to see capello ten pre-sell to make of all this going to
1:16 pm
refugees in this temporary shelter crossed into bangladesh within the last two to three days now they were confined when a place called on human part about ten to fifteen thousand growing up there for the last three days they were not allowed inside one of the start treaty because the bombing of the border guard confined them there not to. allow them in bangladesh territories may designate a sudden places for this nearly. to take shelter. we spoke to some of the injured i think is right there tells of atrocities similar to what the other refugees who came in recent days told us by my mother. that burning out. you can't do you any business there anymore the security forces driven us out of our villages and told us go to bangladesh you're not from hand. this corroborates with the amnesty international latest report about it find me on my i'm
1:17 pm
a systematic approach of driving the muslim out from myanmar into bangladesh despite all the international pressure and diplomatic pressure and i think since me and my army since to be determined to drive every ranger muslim into bangladesh. well staying in the region of course in pakistan has formally charged prime minister nawaz sharif his daughter and son in law over corruption allegations in july the supreme court disqualified sharif from office for not declaring a source of income the investigation was sparked by the part of our paper leaks which linked him to the ownership of luxury flats in london sharif and his family denied the charges direct result is a political analyst joins us now from the pakistani capital islamabad how important is this case in terms of a former prime minister fighting a corruption charge in a civilian court. well it is important
1:18 pm
because that marks the beginning of the rule of law in a land which was otherwise known as a land where the rule of law never prevail but now this is the second prime minister as you mentioned was been only ousted now his entire family especially his daughter and his son in law and is actually father in law they're all facing corruption charges and the charges are so so much support substates you did with evidence which has already been collected it was the supreme court of pakistan that ousted him and they could have done the same job but the supreme court said let the normal procedure of law take the natural course and the law and the case of corruption must be proven in that lower court so this is the accountability court which has actually started the day of justice in bargains than today the sheriff
1:19 pm
family and mr sharif have been formally indicted three major counts of corruption of money laundering of men taking illegal money out of the country and if that's the case then obviously what we're seeing now is a former prime minister disqualified from all for. so will sort of punishment can he expect or are we heading into unchartered territory as you say it's one of the very first times that we've seen a former prime minister actually being taken to court over an issue like this it's never happened before. where it is unprecedented well there other than of the prime minister mr no use of any he belonged to the people's party even people's party was the party in power but he was sent i was tired because of the cover of contempt of court but he continued to commit month after month but in this case there is a case of corruption case a proven corruption is just it's
1:20 pm
a just american of thirty days if the procedure takes its natural course these city family will be. in jail and they will be they'll be jailed for of from for a period of seven to fourteen years they're being dry now now that the process has begun under the law which is called the national accountability act and this is the section nine of the accountability act which say that this gentleman mr and of our city of the ousted prime minister and his entire family has been engaged in making money but to result in the purchase of a major. police shield places you know in london then there was a steel mill that was bought and established in in the gulf area then there was another steel mill that was also established by them so the money laundering and the corruption and the illegal taking of money out of the country all those things
1:21 pm
are now and this case is interestingly there is only. one hundred feet of afraid we are just running out of time slightly but we've got a general gist of what will happen to the former prime minister thank you very much for joining us on the program. iraq's prime minister has old achievement is to pull out of areas around kirkuk and civilians say they were during a recent operation to recapture kaddish held territory iraq's interior minister blames unknown armed groups full wounding some people. from. sources in and around kirkuk telling us that shia militia groups now have left the city they've also left we understand the town of sin in the northwest of iraq only orders of prime minister higher abody following these allegations of violations being committed by some groups. an admission basically that violations have been committed and a vow by the interior minister to investigate these allegations is an indication of
1:22 pm
how tense these areas still are and also an indication of you know the ethnic diversity the ethnic tensions in and around kirkuk there were a number of groups inside the city took one and out of that a base the sympathetic to this operation that we've seen the iraq military do in the last few days. and i think it's also an indication of prime minister and a body wanting to show the international community how responsible he's being wind it is such a potentially inflammatory situation in these areas that were disputed that are now in full control of the iraqi government. government ministers from saudi arabia has made a first public appearance in rebel held parts of syria as minister. visited syrian territory captured by kurdish led rebels activists photos show here with brett mcgurk the u.s. president's special envoy against eisel city and fighters have recaptured territory
1:23 pm
from rocka the group's self declared capital in syria how should barbara as our correspondent following events forced and dancing and tap of the border with turkey and syria this is a very high profile visit by a senior saudi official. interesting timing really question. very interesting indeed i mean there's been no official statement from brett mcgurk who is the u.s. envoy for the global coalition against. isis about the about the trip from the families have a hand himself what we do understand from activist. both in in saying basically in a town north of iraq i think that this argument for god. has attending two meetings one with the. local council and second one with a reconstruction committee it could be an indication that the americans would like
1:24 pm
to tap into saudi arabia's deep pockets in the near future to rebuild iraq because as you know this is going to be an extremely delicate task facing the local committees on the ground particularly as the the s.d.f. on its own has absolutely no way no capabilities whatsoever to rebuild iraq there needs to be an international push so the saudis could be now deeply involved in this syrian crisis once again with trying to rebuild iraq or however i have to say that this could create some problems particular for good neighbor and country turkey there's no official statement from turkey itself turkey has considered kurdish factions operating in iraq for example as terror. now to see a saudi minister in an area under the control of the this could raise some concerns here in turkey well of course the focus as you say is rebuilding but also the focus is on ongoing fighting and there is i mean what is the situation on the ground at the moment because up to speed of the. operations taking place at the same
1:25 pm
time the syrian army is pushing from the south he has managed to recapture some villages and is now trying to pave the way for. i guess. which is. on the border with iraq at the same time there's a push from the north i mean fighters who took over and now moving. some of the territories in there as this competition between the as the arab and the syrian army could put them together on a collision course because arjun so hailed a deal or. province and both parties would like to have their own there because whoever controls there can manage to guarantee some very significant revenues from the exportation of oil fields we'll leave it there how should thank you.
1:26 pm
the weather with richard but also still ahead here on al-jazeera the u.s. university prepares to host a white nationalist a bit growing racial tensions in the country. plus the canadian province of quebec bans face coverings in the public sector. of the century. good night in barcelona europe those details coming. from flowing island weans tune in chanting death to greece. well i thought we'd take a look at the state of the planet as far as the climatology is concerned this is the time of the month when both noah released data telling us how the temperatures are fared and september twenty seventeen was the fourth warmest september since records began in eight hundred eighty the fourth warmest what were the other months
1:27 pm
or in the last four years so twenty fifteen the warmest followed by twenty sixteen followed by twenty fourteen followed by twenty seventeen you see a pattern here well the world is getting warmer but of course it varies across the globe as you would expect so let's head up into the arctic now sea ice generally decreasing here but in fact this particular september sea ice was in that remark or only the seventh lowest in terms of extent on the other side of the world in antarctica we had some very very stormy weather over the last few months remember the day the penguin colony which was completely wiped out by the bad weather conditions well that's also helped break the ice up a second lower sea ice extent since one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the general picture then across the globe is of a world warming at an ever increasing rate sunny what we're seeing at the moment twenty sixteen the warmest year on record it looks very much at the moment as though twenty seventeen is going to leap frog twenty fifteen and twenty fourteen take a second place. the weather sponsored by cat time release. in
1:28 pm
slave abuse and mommy freedom the plight of too many nepalese. after a lifetime of service a remarkable young woman breaks free. to lead the abolitionist movement of electrifying force was. driven by her vivid recollections of subjugation. my memory is my power now with this documentary but this time on and. the story that had the greatest impact on me would probably be the. thirty four miners died and we where there were no very few television things going on that time to this is some of the times the story the story and films is what i like to do tonight i want to be right in malaysia like al jazeera english because the news is not sent back and you don't miss any of the news and you can
1:29 pm
bet they still can watch my like. you're watching the news hour i'm so horribly replied of our top stories at least forty three afghan soldiers have been killed after all but vehicle exploded at a military camp in kandahar the taliban says it was behind the attack. pakistan as a former prime minister nawaz sharif his daughter and son in law have all been charged with corruption they denied the charges the supreme court disqualified sharif lovisa july for not declaring a source of income for bloc sharif flats in london. the established government says it will trigger article one five five to suspend catch
1:30 pm
a lady's political autonomy the move comes after cattle and. president charles warned his regional parliament could vote on a formal declaration of independence of the dreaded did not agree to talks. or dollars is a lecturer at the university had to devise a loader and aside a law school she joins me now live from barcelona good to have you with us on the program what do you make of the current situation of the potential that madrid could suspend the to load years autonomy and catalonia and parliament and the leadership there saying we're going to do it if you don't talk to us. definitely looks like the spanish government is going to actually suspend the tunnel me and trying to do what they are calling to be to recover or take over the contrary again from the capital city in winter it. would. probably
1:31 pm
create a reaction from the cart along government to actually stop the suspension or cancel the suspension of the so called a coronation of independence which in real facts would mean that we would move on to a final declaration of independence it confusing it is very confusing to me how do you actually see this playing out on the ground with there was a very clear split in the. region for those that do want to dependents and those that don't to be demonstrating on the streets what's your sense of feeling from the region from the people you're talking to about how they feel this political. has moved over the past few weeks. so this the center now is changing day after day every day there's a new movement from one of the two sides that actually creates a difference in the feelings of people i would say after october the first we saw
1:32 pm
that many people were really scared and worried after all the police brutality and all the tension that we saw and probably thought fear has gone down but on the other side because the government is offering dialogue and saying they would actually accept mediation every time the spanish government says no we do not accept this mediation many people here feel that as an offense and as proof spain or the spanish government is not willing to even. find a solution for the conflict in a peaceful way it is true that there is also part of the cartel and population that is happy with that and is asking for and for someone of low. how much psychological instability is there amongst the spanish people when they think about their history they've had military dictatorships they had to return to democracy and then a baltic years well to give them stability. membership of the e.u.
1:33 pm
belief of being part of a much wider community to this sort of instability which makes perhaps some spanish feel they're not quite sure what direction the country is heading towards regardless of the outcome of what happens now because there will be anger in certain quarters. there will be anger for sure now due to the past history that you just mentioned it is as much as the spanish translation has been followed by many historians and many professors for the past decades as a very very model one in terms of how it was conducted one of the main critiques has been the spanish society did not go in harlem through a process of transitional justice and maybe forgiveness so because didn't happen too long ago it seems that on those two parts of the civil war and the parts that were confronted. were still alive although not so visible now the main fears here
1:34 pm
in terms of political but social tension that you were asking is that this conflict political conflict between catalonia under central government is raising the worst from every part and we're seeing for example far wrong right movements that were all these years non-visible in the rest of spain that are now going on to the streets and demonstrating and even proclaiming more stronger closer to fastest messages so that social time is definitely one of the biggest challenges that the spanish government house right now. certainly in the coming days thanks so much for joining us. but as a result. refusing to sway it is newly elected governors before present or as powerful constituent assembly which it deems unconstitutional but are a socialist government won eighteen out of the twenty three states in sunday's
1:35 pm
regional elections that's despite polls putting opposition far ahead they refuse to accept the surprise when alleging dirty tricks such as election centers being moved to dangerous areas at the last minute to reason has more from caracas. and. to swear in as governor of. the ceremony happened in the middle of accusations of irregularities by the opposition. challenges anyone to recount the votes in his state. do you know how hard i worked to get elected there were thirty five points ahead and in forty five days i terminated them and what because of that i robbed the election the people committed fraud they had to acknowledge my victory today. it's just one of the eighteen you had governors who say their biggest job now is to help millions of venezuelans survive the current economic crisis.
1:36 pm
because. it was. the opposition continues to denounce widespread fraud that it has been an observer in every election for the past fourteen years. but we asked for accreditation on time but this time we were told that there was no time in britain elections were shuttled to happen in december then the constitutional assembly moved into october government is changing the rules all the time. invest. the ruling party's candidate won by one thousand four hundred seventy one volts the problem is that the third candidate who was also a member of the opposition got more than three thousand he had resigned to his
1:37 pm
candidacy and was still in the ballot. it was clear how the opposition was affected by the prohibition to change the ballots after the primaries but there is more the relocation of voting centers effect of the opposition nationally i be election results have cost a deep crisis within the opposition the democratic unity around is an umbrella organization of more than twenty political parties. we have to do a lot of self-criticism because we should never have participated in an election that was filled with irregularities we should have been firmer. presidential elections are in one year the challenge is how to be death a stamp that the opposition says has always been adapted to the government needs. whether a person has
1:38 pm
a challenger russian television personality and socialite. sobchak shall make a bid for the presidency in next year's election the thirty five year old liberal says russians are tired of the political elite and change subjects joined the kremlin protests five years ago but stopped short of criticizing president putin he was worked as her father's deputy when he was. challenged joins me live to explain what's the reaction to this is an effort to split the liberal vote. there is so much to say about this story and i think for the kremlin that actually is a very good thing because the kremlin basically has. a problem at the moment with alexei in avowedly now alexina valmy is the anti corruption opposition leader who for the last few years has been organizing protests the length and breadth of this
1:39 pm
huge country connecting with young people election of and he is currently sitting in police detention but he wants to be allowed to run in next year's presidential elections so it's only a subjects' candidacy essentially provides for the criminal welcome distraction from that kind of putin in the narrative and that is something that people here in the opposition movement and journalistic cetera are concerned about how it's they think the subject must have done some sort of deal with the kremlin for this to be taking place because in this whole track insists that she is genuine and that she is going to be standing as a sort of anti everything candidates that she is would be pointing out the flaws in the system and even says that if the kremlin allows novell need to stand for the presidential elections next year then she might even withdraw her canvas that
1:40 pm
candidacy but after say there are a lot of people here certainly within the opposition movement who are treating this with a very raised eyebrow thinking there's some kind of dirty dealing going on some kind of deal that's been done between the kremlin and this all position minded t.v. personality and we see this see lots of images on our screen right now of her in different scenarios voting with the people in t.v. studios i mean who is this woman. well i mean she basically grew up in the limelight and her early career she was a kind of hell raiser basically a t.v. personality she presented reality t.v. shows she was scantily clad in centerfold spreads of men's magazines tearing up moscow's nightclub scene that sort of thing but then in two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve she got serious and join the liberal opposition movement but
1:41 pm
she also as you think you said earlier on she has a personal relationship with putin because she's the daughter of putin's former political mentor well we shall see what happens to her challenged certainly in the coming weeks and months the story. well u.s. police are on alert because they white supremacist has to do to make a speech richard spencer is taking advantage of freedom of speech laws to appear at a university in florida it's his first public appearance since braces protester was killed during a violent rally in charlottesville ripples. on the university of florida's campus students are doing their best to attend classes and study for exams but it's a challenge not to be distracted by increased security as authorities here brace themselves for the appearance of white supremacist richard spencer hailed from hearing our people here victory the leader of the so-called right spencer was one of the organizers behind demonstrations in charlottesville virginia in may the
1:42 pm
violence there led to the death of one protester this is spence's first major public events in scenes that shocked the u.s. the students just want to go away and the university didn't invite spencer but have been unable to stop him coming because of freedom of speech laws as much as we abhor the rhetoric that mr spencer. spews we cannot main him for. saying some classes have already been canceled and students are being encouraged to stay away all my professors have been telling me about also all the security you. see the national guard around now i saw him yesterday so i mean i feel like we're in a safe place a kind of blew my mind when i was hearing about it because i like. that sort of things over way you know but it's not and it's so prevalent still local businesses to are encouraging people to stay away this bar is offering free drinks to anyone
1:43 pm
that receives a ticket dispensers event but doesn't use it i mean it's made things more difficult for us we thought then by our pledge to people to get their hands aren't always tickets and would like to trade on used tickets for beer i will do that all day richard spencer is the president of the national poll. institute an organization labeled as a hate group it's thought his appearance will cost the university around half a million dollars in security there's an overwhelming desire here that richard spencer simply be ignored but he's already getting the attention he seems to crave this venue reportedly cost the national policy institute around ten thousand dollars to book and spencer's appearance will make headlines around the world however for those at this public university in northern florida the primary concern is the safety of students and ensuring that if there are protests they passed off peacefully and together grabbed a zero gainesville florida the canadian province of quebec has passed a controversial law banning people wearing face coverings from receiving public services or working in government jobs critics of the law say the move deliberately
1:44 pm
target some muslim women while quebec's national assembly passed the bill by sixty six to fifty one the minister for justice says the law is a way to ensure provincial religious neutrality and foster social cohesion the bill does not allow people to request exemptions the woman who wears a face veil could ask for an accommodation to receive a government service while having her face covered exactly how the new law will be of also based on clear bus drivers in quebec her voice concerns about having to personally prevent people from riding buses have asked for provincial guidance the brave european countries of pass legislation banning islamic face veils including france and belgium twenty eleven eva taurus from the national council of canadian was them says the law likes clarity and targets a visible minority. this is the first time in north america.
1:45 pm
being put into effect it is a real preoccupation and first jesus didn't much he's ation of muslim woman. fits into the context in kit back with their rise up to muslim sentiment also didn't. diminish her valise a band is good for showing so shall our money you know but you understand that completely no true. our money was your by and part of woman to to society woman will not top access to too much needed social services like housing care and transportation and eventually good to deliberately imagine if a woman who is for all of five she had to and wants to take birth she will need an accommodation and this is the this is the point this is
1:46 pm
a problem the law is not clear on the accommodation. well still ahead here. in. the world of.
