by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to the first snowfall on a winter's day. hello there it's incredibly hot for many of us across europe at the moment germany saw some of the highest temperatures across europe in the last twenty four hours on wednesday we had eleven weather stations that either tied or broke their all time temperature records so it was incredibly hot there things have changed just in the past a few hours there thanks to this line of thunderstorms that made its way across us that brought down the temperatures a little bit so we brought some heavy downpours and lots of thunder and lightning as well this system will gradually work its way eastwards during the day today through poland expecting some heavy thunder a downpours too and also more of them will be sparking off down towards the southeast and parts of europe again too if you don't see a thunderstorm there is just going to be another very hot day and the heat is now pushing for the north woods again too so for london will be up and around thirty

degrees for the iberian peninsula it's going to get incredibly hot as we head towards the weekend so the temperature in madrid might be around forty degrees as we head into friday but for the southwestern parts and over many parts of portugal it will be incredibly hot and the temperatures could break the all time record for temperature in portugal across the other side of the mediterranean with a fair amount of cloud over about there when the temperatures down a little bit to twenty eight degrees. the weather sponsored by cats are and always . every armed attack in europe creates fear and division amongst its citizens west stories of loss go untold. a sweeping association of islam with the violence. in muslims facing the stock reality of being ostracized by the very communities in which they live love and moon the tragic loss of life. twice evict and on al-jazeera.

welcome back you're watching i was there i was a whole rob a reminder of our top stories a bar boy's president is calling for an independent investigation into words post-election violence which left at least three people dead and as a mother got points that he's been talking to his opposition rival nelson. to diffuse the situation to miss most supporters accuse the rulings on the pier party of breaking monday's election. also israel has blocked fuel and gas shipments to the gaza strip it's a move that will make it even harder for palestinians already struggling with the lack of electricity israel's defense minister says the measure is in response to

guards or protesters sending in century kites and balloons across the border. and turkey is threatening to retaliate against the u.s. for imposing sanctions on two of its senior ministers is the latest effort by the trumpet ministration to get ankara to release the american pastor dr branson is accused of being involved in the twenty sixteen failed coup in turkey. the u.s. is planning to impose even higher tariffs on chinese imports from ten percent to twenty five percent the proposed levy will target two hundred billion dollars worth of goods on high profile casualty is american soya beans which are crucial in the chinese diet are china correspondent adrian brown reports from. province where most of the crop is harvested. farmland is precious in china only fifteen percent of the country is arable that makes the russian fertile province of hay long jiang very important especially now. close to the border with russia this is

soybean country. china is the world's largest consumer of soybeans but it can't grow enough and so is reliant on imports to meet demand that means the decision to impose a twenty five percent levy on u.s. soil beans creates risk yet in this province the trade fight appears to be having a welcome impact. dramas like moon family being urged by the local government to switch their fields to soil from corn offering subsidies as an incentive that'll raise incomes moon says he has a lot to thank president trump for who won when you know how when china stops importing from the united states is possible for the price of domestic soybeans welcome and that means we'll make more money. soybeans may flourish in this

province but only around ten percent of those consumed in china are domestically grown the instruction to local farmers to grow more soybeans was a political priority but the reality is this china is a long way from ever being self-sufficient in soybeans which means it's going to be reliant on imports for years to come hi everybody i am a soybean in this cartoon video china appears to be targeting u.s. farmers it's been airing on the international service of state t.v. and has a clear message in china can buy soybeans from other countries if that happens soybean farmers in the u.s. could take an even greater hit. and the soybean plays an essential role in the chinese diet used in cooking oil source tofu as well as animal feed the government's now taking action to ensure there's no shortage of the with the government is offering more subsidies to soybean farmers so i believe the

government has been very supportive to the whole soybean industry in the past cheap soybean imports hurt chinese growers but the tariff war with the united states could secure their future adrian brown al-jazeera in a long jan province northeast china. now the bangladeshi government has closed all educational institutions for security as anger grows over the road deaths of two students thousands of young people have blocked streets across the capital dhaka five fifth day witnesses say a speeding bus hit and killed the two students on sunday but the protesters are calling for the arrest of the driver and better road safety measures. result correspondent is following events for us from the bangladeshi capital mean this is protest by the students just about the deaths time via all the general sort of lowered older environment overall. i

think it's an overall frustration i mean we have seen protests by the students over quota reform that has not been accepted by the government and many of the students right beaten up by the government the students and this is a very unprecedented because you can see students as young as nine years ten years old in the streets every age probably would be around thirteen to eighteen years old or twenty one years old college students from high school junior high even their parents are on the field some of the areas in dhaka that fund a human chain and the guardians are putting support from the students they wonder if i'm in the road safety bangladesh notorious road safety record pedestrian and just last year four thousand pedestrians red kaile you can see old cars trucks and buses without proper license even had lights in some cases still on the road in the evening they want some major. transportation system they want punishment for

those who drive buses and trucks without license some cases you can see drivers as young as twelve fourteen years old riding public buses without license now the government knows about all this is it all in the books but they fail to enforce these things as you mention is there an overall frustration of course there is people are unable to protest nowadays there's a limited space brought freedom of expression the press freedom resulted in limited . election down in and of this there is a genuine sense of frustration opposition parties cannot purchase they don't get permission to protest so there's an overall frustration. otherwise you would see this sort of unprecedented number of students in the street all across the country indeed just give us a sense i mean behind you we see lots of people have gathered we can hear the police sirens also the emergency services sirens in the background what is the atmosphere like on thursday. i'm in

a place this place is called farm gate it's one of the busiest intersection in the city you don't see as much traffic behind me bunch of students have gathered there chanting slogan we want justice and all of their demands now that block part of the intersection with a double decker bus i don't think you can see that on my right and there's another double decker bus on the left the station there so there's a massive traffic get blocked most of the people didn't come out this is just one part of the intersection in the city several of them all across the city they're a block like that and the students are directing traffic allying emergence of a cow to cross through their checking driver's license of public process and even private cars that do have a valid driver's license why aren't you wearing seatbelts you know they're they're taken over the streets you know literally and this movement probably will continue until most of the demands are not mad and there's going to be probably

a political fallout if not anything out of this i think the road we will see what happens as the day progresses to the moment thank you. it's a time for going to the democratic republic of congo's health ministry has confirmed full new cases of in the northeastern province of north keithy now there's concern that fighting in the region can make it hard to contain the virus the ministry says there's no evidence linking these cases to the recent outbreak that killed thirty three people in the northwest and the break was declared over last week dr ali khan is dean of the college of public health at the university of nebraska he says rural communities need better education to understand how a boat is being transmitted. what we saw in the last outbreak we hope to see in this outbreak which is a really active response vaccination of contacts and hopefully hopefully shut the outbreak down very quickly unfortunately this outbreak is in an active conflict zone on the border rwanda and uganda which is very different from the location of

the last outbreak and that's going to pose a challenge itself in the response so there's no lack of information from a scientific standpoint we know exactly what happens the disease is natural in bats and people get infected directly from bats or from eating infected bushmeat and then if there can be a large amount of person to person spread during a funeral or potentially during a how key are in a health care setting so we know the science of ebola but what's missing is the education of communities to help them understand that sometimes in the midst of all these people who have fever and getting sick and dying there's potentially cases of a ball of that are very contagious and can infect others within the community so that's where the education needs to happen and to make sure that such individuals are quickly moved to health care centers to ensure that there aren't these funerals where you keep touching people and infecting others and within how care settings to ensure there's good infection control practices. let's take you straight over to

harare zimbabwe where commonwealth election observers are holding a press conference about the impressions of the recent general election let's listen in to what they have to say the two thousand and two presidential elections . this election therefore is of great significance and it's a privilege to be here in support of the people of zimbabwe at another critical juncture india a democratic journey. again we wish to express the hope that peace will prevail. the preliminary statement of the come over of the of our group is being issued while the results stop lucian process is still underway. we will share the full preliminary statement with you which covers the pre-election period so now so i can take in the questions if there is any full assessment of the entire process including the recriminations for improvement will be contained in a final report which will also be made available to the public. this indeed is

a watershed moment for zimbabwe which should not be squandered. the stance in solidarity with the people of zimbabwe at the start i thank you very much. as archer said our full interest in the interested in that had been received and it's going to live on our website as we speak and contains. the summary of what our electoral observing him doing since it arrived and twenty third of july. before is open for questions if you have a question raise your hand when i go over to feast let us know who you are in india that you represent sir. thank you so much regret it later on coming i think. a little slowly but.

thank you maybe it's another visit from. somebody of the first team to rejoin the government and when you judge what has happened to this election. you know whether they're voting. by those or taking into account what you know that they sense of if they do. how this is in terms of income of twenty. in russia or if an organization. that would play into. that desire of the color. wheel well like i said in a statement. the decision about joining the call is not ours we were sent here as an independent observer group to file a report of what we observed in the course of the election we're going to faithfully and we have an interim statement and the decision about joining the calm

of his left to the heads of government. and here we are in just a little nation. the opposition. and no way. to. by somebody who is on the u. of. this one of the. parties are supposed to have their agents at the polling station and they're supposed to append their signatures to the form at the end of the process the period dense might refuse to append the signatures i believe that the legal processes that parties can resort to if they feel that something untoward

happened i said that they said temper. level of the election process and that would be a matter for the sec to deal with electron management. when do you want me . not find out. for you. it's not for me to determine whether it's credible i believe that events unfold at a polling station and every party has it inside the polling station and if they have an objection that things didn't go well because if you signed by there must be a reason why did the insane and so. they don't agree with the count or something is the decision to do so but we believe that if this is a expedites release of the results then it makes it easier for all the parties in the process to validate where the results. are accurate results or not and that's why the delay in releasing the results is causing anxiety. well

gentlemen for. him to believe that he didn't. say that you know. if you. met me. in the movie. the indians. didn't shoot a movie. and the book. i think that in times of manifestation of civil manifestations the rules of engagement that need to be followed and. i believe that circumstances in which live ammunition is used against civilians i don't think it's appropriate and we

said that quite clearly we denounce the violence and vandalism that took place but i did same time we. access of use of force by the security agencies. scanning the room. not seeing any hands get. part of. the way it's now you know when. it's. released all three groups this is. called is the longest you know. this is a preliminary statement and we have detailed. several.

observation points and the different categories the pre-election environments the votes in the the. i want to know all of that and exactly what we observe this what we've written in. our final assessment about the start of the election will be contained in our final report. you're watching al-jazeera and we are live in harare where the chairman of the commonwealth election observers john durani heart the former president of ghana is giving his indication impressions of the preliminary results of the election the statement which is a twelve page document i've got it here right in front of me and is very detailed some of the main salient points they still want to the authorities in zimbabwe the zimbabwe election commission to release the results of the presidential vote they

also critical of the excessive force used by security forces and also question the a partiality of the election commission we will have more on this in half an hour to stay with us here on alt. corrupt officials have been ousted. and the activists of the chinese village of cam take center stage and on the precedented local elections. in the first of a remarkable series filmed of the five years al-jazeera documents of a village committed. rebels to politician. wanna be china's democracy experiment and i have to say. i am for me ok and you are in the stream today why is the us government run detention center at guantanamo bay is still open we explore why years after nine

eleven some people remain jailed at the facility despite never being charged with any crime imo they could be and we are now live on you tube still leave your comments in the shop for us to include in the conversation this morning i watch president obama talking about went on about but which by the way which by the way we are keeping open which we are keeping. and we're going to load it up with. me we're going to load it up. that's why there's a donald trump speaking in twenty sixteen about president obama's plan to shut down the prison complex at guantanamo bay in january of this year president trump with first a bomb as executive order to close the facility he reiterated its importance the so-called war on terror at the state of the union address have a lot. to ensure that in the fight against isis and. we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them

. where ever we find. and in many cases them it will now be one turn him. in july lawyers for a kuantan of inmates who have never been charged with a crime who watched the case challenging their detention joining us now via skype in new york is one of those lawyers potus is a senior attorney for the center for constitutional rights also joining us right in our studio so watch me is an editor with the washington examiner lawrence korb senior fellow for the center for american progress he's also the former u.s. assistant secretary of defense and in london was a bank is a former guantanamo prisoner and now the director of outreach for cage an organization advocating for rights of people held unjustly in the war on terror hello everybody it's good to have you here party is this idea of who is left in

guantanamo bay if the public are not following this if it's ages since they seen a headline what would you tell them he's still there. largely. or over sixteen years. people go. to great charges against. crimes are very true. and men who and shouldn't be released as a matter. security was. larry artists mention that some have been there for sixteen years i think one of the biggest topics of conversation among our community when we told them are doing this is what is the treatment like now because of course we think of kuantan m o a lot of people think of torture and i want to read you two tweets here says the conditions are in many ways harsher than those reserved for the most dangerous convicted criminals in the u.s.

windowless cells no opportunity for human interaction and another person who is actually a lawyer out that says the u.n. human rights reiterated in january that torture abounds i get and detainees should be released for treatment torture is that something that is still going on here and on and on fortunately it is and i think the real problem is that nobody's paying attention to it anymore we first heard the stories of torture back during the bush administration everybody was outraged in the u.s. and around the world but it's sort of fallen off the radar there's only forty prisoners left as opposed to like eight hundred we had almost eight hundred at one time and the real problem is that this is rather than stopping terrorism it's creating it because comes a rallying cry for people who say i ought to go against the united states because what they're not doing or what they are doing in guantanamo how do you know that larry how do you know it's a rallying cry well i think the way you know it is if you monitor what these groups

like isis or the remnants of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula this is something they bring up now is not the only thing but the fact of the matter is that we had this struggle against you know terrorist we will only win when we could vince people that what they are saying and why they want to go against soft on our allies is the wrong thing to do and one of the things the chemical larry's point is that when focusing on terrorism and the detainees who have not who have either for. serve the full term were charged convicted and are scheduled for release. the struggle is in the bureaucracy of government in trying to find detention facilities or even rehabilitation facilities are able to take on those really scheduled to be released detainees and you know we talk a lot about in washington about this concept of the deep state you know the overarching government this bureaucracy and there are many forces within the

government that simply don't want to have these individuals released so i want to play a little clip from a film called a documentary film called the confession it talks about your story at the beginning it tells what happened to you what it was like for you because you've told your story so many times i want to do it via this little bit of a try to have a look at the beginning of the trailer for the confession. it was midnight. put a country. with. my hands behind my back that was it i woke up. was i'm back from birmingham i was arrested by the cia pakistan is now being held at guantanamo bay in cuba. never being convicted of any crime and then you hear about this bureaucracy the paperwork we

don't know where to put people this is sixteen years later was and what do you have to add to. the situation and get my right now how do you see it. well some of the work that i've been doing with my organization zation cage has been documenting and speaking to a lot of that's what prisons around the world include including for example a very close friend of mine shakur armor he was held for fourteen years without charge or trial lawyers only help the three so i'm a relative novice in comparison to him and the first thing i have to say about what's what's happened to these guys is you know there's all this issue about the definitions of torture that happened at the border bush administration that if it wasn't organ failure or death according to the most senior legal advisor to the government then it wasn't torture and then you had obama coming along saying that even though we tortured some folks that torture those torturers would not be prosecuted united states did a senate report on torture which admitted bizarrely that they tortured at least one hundred one thousand people no prosecutions and that's why today you have

a president who says i believe torture works i would want war and a lot more i want a lot of kuantan and more with more prisoners and and so you've got this return in fact you know the bush administration never said yes we agree would torture they simply called it enhanced interrogation techniques what you have today is an administration led by a man who says he would torture and continue and believes in torture and the aspects of torture of course all the physical parts that we've repeated so many times but the greatest torture is to be held without charge or trial for a crime that you haven't been been told that you committed and in the midst of all of that you've got the destroyed lives of people those who've been returned and resettled of the of of amongst those i've come myself fortunate and british born and raised here but there are people like the weakest for example from eastern turkey stand in china who've been sent to places like el salvador palau. a place in

the europe why in a place they have no connection to no language skills no ability to communicate no history no culture and they're supposed to so that pick up their lives and return to why. in children that have grown up without them in some cases not even being up to recognize their sons and there's no there's been no sense of redress in any way by the united states of america produce destroyed life so like larry said when these images and stories go back to other people and groups like isis they say look what they did to these guys that's the land of justice that's london freedom democracy they have headless corpus and magna carta as part of the constitution but in reality they also have kuantan i'm. just asking a follow up do you think the detainment of. a lot of individuals who have either been connected in some way shape or form to a lot of these terrorist organizations do you think that they're indefinitely tamia pushes people who are even learning on the wires of being on the edge of you know

joining a group like isis do you think poynton will be is the tipping point for that pushes them over the the the good the really good question i like the question the first thing i would say out of all the quantum of prisons i've ever met not meant but hundreds since my release. i've not come across any pups one or two who support isis or the idea of isis and that's because isis makes al-qaeda look relatively tame. and the other thing is that what you have seen in iraq i've done it twice i've made appeals for hostages including british and american hostages to be released because i saw them dressed in orange jumpsuits and they were threatening to and did in some occasions execute these men now why did they dress them in orange that's not a natural color of prisoners in iraq and and and harnessed on and so forth the reason why was to show some kind of connection some kind of tangible link between

their cause and the cause of the prisoners in guantanamo so you're both right in saying that it has been a horse of course elaborate for some of these guys but it doesn't detract from the fact that what you've got happening is something that that hasn't stopped over fourteen years fifteen years sixty six sixteen years it's continued it's proliferating and with. with trump saying he's going to keep kuantan him open that's the only next step is that isis prisoners will be sent to guantanamo and if that happens you just turn the clock back and learned nothing over the past sixteen years where you know two former commandant of the marine corps general prue acton whore they wrote an op ed saying exactly this that this is hurting us in. well these are marines ok who have fought and died for the country and they they agree with that and that's why aside from the moral thing which is just poor and so we don't stick up for our own moral principles the fact is it's hurting our security

and a lot of people that have been released there are like in the u.a.e. we don't know where they are what are they doing what are they up to so i mean it's even worse than you would think you know looking at the situation i want to bring in a viewer and comment this is from a teacher of high school history teacher and san diego who wrote this piece for teen vogue take a look at my screen here one time a boy explained he writes i think all americans should know what our country has done and to whom he sent us a video about what it is he tells his students about guantanamo bay that some of that many of them actually who were born after the detention center was set up and so therefore do not know about guantanamo and have never heard of it here's what he told the stream even if most people have heard of it the images that come to mind are usually orange jumpsuits barbed wire most people couldn't tell you a single person was kept it's it's it dehumanizes place i had the opportunity

to man like to go. here who.
