a five hour standoff kurdish security forces killed three gunmen who stormed the government building in the air to be alone and panic grows and shares in chinese pharmaceutical companies for over fake vaccines have given to babies. the u.s. highest court has issued an order in favor of qatar in the case of brought against the united arab emirates the international court of justice says the measures taken by the u.a.e. amount to racial discrimination catherine families should be reunited the u.a.e. is one of four countries that imposed an air land and sea blockade against catherine more than a year ago it's become the worst political crisis in the gulf region for decades by eat voters to seven. the united out of imedi must be. one families that include qatari. separated by the measure is

adopted by be united arab emirate is on five june twenty seven thousand united two qatari student is affected by the measure is adopted by the united arab emirate on five june twenty seven thousand given the opportunity to complete their education in the united arab emirates or to op pain to creation are recorded if they wish to continue their it's elsewhere and three qatar is affected by the measure is adopted by the united arab emirates on fire i doone twenty seven pm. allow access to tribunals for judicial organise of the united arab emirates could have more legal

analysis on this in just a second first let's hear from need parker who's got more from the hague. well the un's highest court has sided with qatar in granting something called provisional measures which is an urgent immediate ruling by the i.c.j. that forces the u.a.e. a key signatory of the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination hold its obligations that it's accused of violating it is now being ordered by the i.c.j. to avoid anything that leads to the separation of families to allow students to continue their studies or at least get a certificate as they need to be able to study elsewhere it would also allow people to access judicial services something that qatari government says that its nationals have been denied over the course of the blockade on the country but also a key. message here by the from the i.c.j. to both countries to avoid anything that would escalate tensions between matter and

the u.a.e. going forward of course qatar over the course of this legal battle has accused the u.a.e. of racial discrimination is focusing on what it says was a policy to expel qatari nationals from the u.a.e. at the start of the blockade we now only need to see exactly how the u.a.e. will implement these recommendations and exactly when almost there is a senior lecturer at the hague university of applied sciences he joins us live now from the hague sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera if you could just elaborate on something that of course barker was just mentioning now this basically are provisional measures it's not necessarily the final ruling of the i.c.j. on whether there has been any kind of discrimination against her so just explain to us what this actually means and what it means for the future of the session of the i.c.j. this is set a kind of precedence so to speak in any way. yeah indeed so the overall case could

take really even years i mean that's one of the difficulties with cases of this magnitude and so trying to decide whether or not this is a racial discrimination case protect quite a long time the problem is that people who are separated from their spouses or trying to do education or or their property is rights have been disrupted these people can't wait that long and so one of the mechanisms that the court has is to say let's just issue this emergency injunction where we would rescind some of these measures so that people are not overly prejudiced and they don't have all this irreparable harm to their to their lives in distress and upset and that way they can continue their lives while the case is being heard so in the end it may be on the guitar loses that is definitely one possibility but for now so that these people are not overly prejudiced we have these provisional measures because obviously the book a this court calls that a norm and almost

a month of upheaval for a lot of people who will often you know of him expire just between the various countries in the gulf and live in various countries so i guess for them the situation will be a little bit easier one hopes in the next few a weeks and months by going back to my question about setting it any kind of precedent or in a sense do you think there is a kind of breakthrough for qatar who has of course claimed the discrimination due to this blockade oh do you think that ultimately we just have to wait until the final verdict comes in. well when we go to the merits of the case and we go through this year to year whatever it takes time for deciding the case the court will look at it with fresh eyes so they'll start over from the beginning and they want to be satisfied that they have jurisdiction that there's been a sion etc etc this is just the provisional measures in order to see what the it's plausible but it's arguable that there might be some infringement of these people's rights that being said today is a victory for cuts or does give us

a hint doesn't it that the court at least sees a plausible argument it's not like they said you know this is a complete and reasonable argument that we're going to dismiss it entirely so that is already been been established the other thing that we can say is that this is just the case we do it qatar and the u.a.e. the other states that are in the region who are implementing all these measures they're not parties to this so if this case goes forward and and there's a finding that indeed that there is racial discrimination that should be a strong statement told them as well along the same terms very interesting to see how it all turns out well they are more senior lecturer at the hague university of applied sciences sir thank you so much for sharing your views with us thank you thank you. president donald trump has warned iran and never to threaten the united states

again warning it will provoke consequences which quote few throughout history have suffered his tweet came just hours after the iranian president hassan rouhani wondered that trumps hostile policies or leading to the mother of all wars iran has faced increased economic pressure and possible sanctions following the u.s. withdrawal from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal shala belin. with television as their platform a ratcheting up of threats between iran's president hassan rouhani and the trumpet ministration on sunday secretary of state mike compare spent a full twenty six minutes criticizing rouhani and his leadership the ayatollah are in on the act too judging by their vast well they say more concerned with riches than religion these hypocritical holy men advice all kinds of cricket's games to become some of the wealthiest men on earth while their people suffer as the u.s. administration is attacking iran from multiple angles in may president trump

withdrew from the twenty fifteen nuclear court in august he will reimpose sanctions aimed at crippling iran's economy pompei or warned tehran its exports will be squeezed in the coming months and is pressuring allies to stop importing iranian oil by november its biggest source of income and now the u.s. administration is seizing on protests in iran to begin a media campaign president rouhani referred to the strategy and threaten trump against turning his people against him but don't issued was you're not going to change don't play with the lion's tail you will regret it forever you cannot carry out these measures it is out of your capability you cannot force during ins to act against their own country you have clearly shown you are against the iranian people . those comments got this response from president trump who tweeted in capital laces never ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before we are no

longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death be cautious . to tweet as a flashback to trump and north korean leader kim jong un kim was also at the wrong end of a new caps tirade last year before the two leaders came together at a summit in singapore in june. but the difference with iran is protests the soaring cost of living has pushed iranians to the streets numbers not seen since twenty twelve but analysts say a media campaign to win them over will be received as u.s. propaganda i think it's quite clear that as much as they are frustrated and deeply frustrated with the government of iran they're not jumping onto trump side anytime soon from california to tehran the high stakes verbal sparring will be watched by its target audience the iranian people shall at bella's al-jazeera. like that be hussein is an iranian n.p.n.

national security spokesman he told our they were the tribes outburst was motivated by anger. on. americans have been trying for two to three years now to convince other countries to confront iran instead of cooperating with iran but they haven't succeeded even their commercial partners like the europeans and china they clearly announce they won't go with these sanctions naturally russia won't cooperate nor will of the countries in our opinion america is angry because it is isolated itself and it feels that it remains alone against iran. right well just there is kimberly how could joins us live now from washington d.c. to try to shed some light on this so i can really was the president having another bad day or night and he decided to take to twitter like he often does or are there other reasons why this is happening now. there are a bunch of reasons just picking up off of that sound bite that we heard just

a moment ago sort of the ronnie in perspective that the united states is isolating itself in some senses that certainly is true donald trump has an america first platform but when it comes to the oil markets and a lot of the reason this timing is happening now we're seeing the all caps in the rhetoric sort of heating up barbara is the fact that the sanctions those very crippling sanctions set to go into place in november imminent this would really cut off iran's oil market so what iran has been doing is trying to sort of reach out to other players including europe that hasn't been a complete success because the fact is the the u.s. dollar is still the reserve currency and there are certainly some concerns in europe in fact that there could be sort of problems if they are isolated out of the world financial system as a result so that would sort of be the u.s. perspective kind of countering what we just heard there being played out of iran moments ago but just pulling back at sort of the macro level why is this happening now why is donald trump going at all caps will the rhetoric just continues to

escalate back and forth in the case of north korea certainly this is sometimes been an effective negotiating tactic but at this point it doesn't appear that that is the strategy from the united states just the opposite we saw mike pump a of the u.s. secretary of state speaking very forcefully criticizing iran's leaders criticizing them of corruption it seems that the united states recognizes perhaps that there is an opportunity here as a result of the anti-government protests and is using that opportunity not only putting in the sanctions that we've talked about we knew those would be coming into place as of the united states withdrawing from the j. c.p.o. in may but also now stepping in going into iran in terms of those broadcasts planning to do in social media t.v. radio sort of further trying to put forward the u.s. perspective in the midst of what the united states sees as an opportunity and so it can really i mean in the light of all of that and you think we're likely to see the rhetoric scaled down or escalate or is it just impossible to tell. well you know

there are some markers where we can see that it doesn't appear the united states wants or has any desire in any way to tamp down the rhetoric just the opposite we heard when donald trump withdrew from the iran nuclear agreement that in fact he said that he promised that the sanctions would be painful they were and they would be just the beginning now we're hearing that very strong language you know some have even reacted saying this is a declaration of war on twitter certainly that would be something new certainly there is concern here in the united states right now that this is just escalated even further and we should look at some of the staff additions that donald trump has put in place in recent months notably the national security advisor john bolton he has certainly advocated for the overthrowing of the iran government so if you sort of look at some of the key decisions and strategic choices and decisions that have been made of the trumpet ministration it doesn't appear there's any backing down just the opposite can really help it with the latest from washington d.c.

kimberly thank you. pretty security forces have killed three suspected i so find who's who attacked the governor's building in at a b. and. a gunman fired a guard's before entering the building and taking hostages later security forces around the building were targeted by a suicide bomber a government employee was killed during the clashes and two policemen were wounded and the siege of the kurdish regional government has largely been spared isolette tax in recent years imran khan has warned now from back that. the attack began around seven am local time when gunman burst into the gov building injuring two security forces soldiers that were on duty that they then moved to the third floor and started to open fire from a third floor window on security forces outside it was at that stage that the kurdish security forces cordoned off the area and mounted their attack they went

into the building moving up to the third floor about three hours in four hours into the into the situation a suicide bomber blew himself up and then snipers killed one of the attackers and then injured another that person then later succumbed to as injuries in the hospital now the attack was all over in about five hours but there are still plenty of questions to be asked who was responsible and how were they able to get into that building will could if politicians blaming eisel for this certainly bears the hallmarks of an islip tack multiple gunmen a suicide bomb so. politicians are very definitely blaming eisel eisel of claim of responsibility as of yet however questions are being off of the kurdish authorities themselves how would the gunman able to get into one of the most secure buildings in the city of erbil. so to come on al-jazeera in this half hour in his state of the nation address the philippine president to do that thing but just to continue

working its way towards the north and as it does so it's going to give us more very heavy rain and probably more flooding over the southern parts of china and into the northern parts of viet nam it's moving very slowly though only have to around eleven kilometers per hour so it will take about twenty four hours before it makes landfall in the mainland so between now and then then very heavy downpours and as we head through into wednesday that rain is just tracking slowly northwest woods and still looking like it's going to give us some flooding here out towards the west in those very active monsoon rains across many parts of india and nepal at the moment actually got quite a few over parts of pakistan as well this whole region again is looking pretty wet as we head through the next few days so there's still the risk of seeing some flooding this is the circulation here is giving us some in hong strange that is sticking around for tuesday and wednesday. an ex-con that
