to stop this project. work has begun on a sixty five kilometer pipeline which is supposed to start bringing gas from israel in early two thousand and twenty the jordanian government says the deal will save hundreds of millions of dollars a year critics disagree it's a waste of taxpayers' money to support. ten billion dollars of taxpayers' money it can be invested in. a wide variety of. sources like solar energy. and he belongs to a movement called the enemies gaz is occupation which has been campaigning against the deal since it was signed in two thousand and sixteen for them it's not just about funding israel they don't want jordan to be linked economically to a country they don't trust. we are hostages of the israeli enemy it makes us vulnerable at any time they can just stop providing us with gas the demand for

energy is only growing in jordan already it imports up to ninety five percent of its needs some forty percent will now be provided by israel in the next fifteen years our enemies occupation is one of many organizations involved in and tight normal isolation campaigns it's been over two decades since jordan signed a peace treaty with israel but that deal is still largely popular a significant portion of jordan's population many of whom are palestinian refugees continue to resist efforts to promote ties with israel. some of the biggest protests in the arab world were held in the jordanian capital after u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital the kingdom rejected trump's decision and has been outspoken against what it calls israel's violations against holy sites in jerusalem this is part of the approach of the jordanian government. they say we care about jerusalem then we

signed because the they said we need the us you know for local consumption then the question is why don't you get. us got thirty s. or goes from anywhere else the government however remains committed to the project despite criticism from the public and members of parliament who have still not seen the terms and conditions of the agreement jennifer their. man. hundreds of iranians angry at the state of the economy have protested in at least five cities iran's official news agency says the demonstrations were illegal and have been broken up by police and currency the reality hit record lows this week because concern builds about the return of u.s. sanctions next choose day same to be has more from tyrone. but we're seeing these protests break out in the main cities about five or six different provinces the

biggest demonstrations in the city of isfahan and ensure rise now protests in iran have become relatively normal with the economic struggle that the country's been seeing for the past several months so dozens of people protesting in their cities in the towers in the villages is not something that generally makes the news go on what we have seen in the last forty eight hours is dozens of protesters in a few pockets around the country turning into hundreds in main cities in multiple provinces and that's really what is interesting here we also saw or have heard unconfirmed reports of small demonstrations yesterday and the day before in the capital but what is interesting is that about an hour outside of the capital in carriage there were a few dozen people to try to set fire to a mosque there were demonstrations there but the police sure did that attempt to burn down a mosque what we're seeing is the number of protesters are swelling people who came out protesting economic conditions those slogans are now turning into more political chants and to government protesters are also coming out not just people

protesting the economy and what we're also seeing now is a government effort to try and quell that as soon as possible there is a very large police presence out on the street not just in the capital to han but in several places around the country and that's likely a response to a call by several anti-government media organizations based outside the country that have called for another round of protests to take place later today. well the white house says it's ramping up efforts to stop foreign interference in the upcoming midterm elections homeland security and the f.b.i. say they're doing all they can to deal with anyone trying to influence voters or attack election software our official reports are from washington d.c. but in two thousand and sixteen they're known as the big beasts of intelligence gathering and law enforcement in the u.s. in an unshared jeweled appearance they arrived in the white house press briefing room to insist they were better prepared to combat foreign interference in the

upcoming u.s. midterm elections the president has specifically directed us to make the matter of the election meddling securing our election process a top priority just days ago facebook revealed it had removed fake profiles and pages from its platform and instagram which it also warns the head of the f.b.i. says this shows greater partnership we're sharing with them actionable intelligence in a way that wasn't happening before we understand better what they need they're sharing information back with us based on what they find this white house is particularly sensitive to reports of foreign interference given the ongoing investigation into alleged russian collusion with the trump campaign before the twenty sixteen presidential election and the growing number of intelligence assessments that see when it comes to interference the russians are at it again donald trump says he raised the issue during his summit with vladimir putin in finland he just said it's

not russia but there is concern that this time around it might not just be the russians our democracy itself is in the crosshairs free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy and it has become clear that they are the target of our adversaries all of those on the platform say they are not seeing the same level of attacks on the twenty eighth. that they witnessed two years ago but that election is still three months away alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house. no more than five hundred fathers are holding a hunger strike in an immigration detention center in the u.s. state of texas the harness county residential center currently houses hundreds of newly reunited migrant families according to reseize an advocacy and legal services group the fathers are striking to pressure the government to speed up the process u.s. president donald trump was forced to end his zero tolerance family separation policy last month after public outcry jennifer falcon is communications director for a c.

is a nonprofit organization providing legal services for immigrant she says the striking fathers are in legal limbo leaving them desperate. i think that it's absolutely devastating that these fathers feel like this is their only. way to have their voices heard at this point some of them have been the universe for three months while seeking asylum in reno that's a violation of international and domestic law. i think it's absolutely devastating that even the sons are participating in this strike in their own way by not participating in school activities throughout the day they have asked us to share their stories in the end definitely advocated on their behalf and shared some of those clips with the public and got their story out to media to select people understand that while there were families reunify and release there are still families in family detention here in the united states and there are also families

who have not be been reunited yet and the u.s. is present and it will take or is taking unprecedented action in order to crush a nationwide uprising against him a new antiterrorism law told that students on demonstrators who take part in street protests a lot in america editor lucien newman as well from when i quit. until a few weeks ago twenty year old list of mine was a familiar face on the streets of managua at massive anti-government protests. as a student leader he took part in a short lived national dialogue with president daniel ortega mediated by the catholic church. today he's almost a fugitive implicated under a new anti-terrorism law and he says afraid for his life now you know that in numbers i appear it's under investigation for financing the supposed to takeover of the city of messiah which the lie to pose

a system of injustice kidnapping killings and paramilitary groups on the streets does not make you a terrorist i look at the. police temple how does the law and is like. are among the scores of activists arrested and charged under the new law. the un high commission for human rights calls this a mechanism to criminalize opposition to the government the antiterrorism law contemplates up to twenty years in prison and or confiscation of property for those found guilty the terms are vague and broad even those who have given food medicine or water to protest hers or encourage street protests calling for a nation could be implicated. that includes her take his former comrade in arms. today a fierce opponent who preferred to speak to us via skype because she says she's received countless death threats are going. that's the reality we're living

kidnapping assassinations persecution. ortega's former deputy foreign minister who's also being linked to terrorism says it won't work. in. the lack of guarantees of due process is more worrisome than the law itself says a nicaraguan constitutional expert in north one the courts don't act in accordance with legal constitutional principles that govern a state of law but rather in accordance with the political interests of those who decide what happens in the karada that's daniel ortega and his wife and they don't hide it from going on in your head. but ortega is unapologetic accuses the u.n. of being an accomplice to terrorist criticizing a law that could soon see nicaragua's prisons overflow. you see in human al-jazeera

. a high ranking buddhist monk accused of sexually harassing nuns in china is being investigated by the government should share showing is a political advisor to the government and head of china's buddhist association a ninety five page document leaked by to form amongst alleges he coerced the nuns she describes the allegations as distorted and denies any wrongdoing take a poll has become the first company on u.s. stock markets to hit a valuation of one trillion dollars that's a million million dollars the milestone was reached when apple share price to over two hundred seven dollars is the second company worldwide to hit the trillion dollar value petro china did it briefly eleven years ago on the shanghai exchange market analysts expect amazon an alphabet the company that owns google to be next christine salumi has more from new york. there was some concern that apple

a company known for its hardware had little room to grow given saturation of the cell phone market but its latest earnings report put that worry to ras apple posted earnings of fifty three point three billion dollars in the third quarter an increase of seventeen percent over the same time last year and that is driven by strong demand for its most expensive phone the i phone x. but it's not just hardware behind the company's success the tech giant is also seeing growth in its services business which includes the app store apple music and apple pay sixty percent of the company's sales are international in every region except japan reported double digit growth this is the fourth quarter in a row of double digit growth for apple pushing it into trillion dollar territory at a time when other tech stocks like facebook and twitter have struggled a lot of good quarter so they sold yet again fifty million phones and if the phone sales were a little soft why unit number the average price rose because the. very high average

selling price so apple continues to be the most profitable company in the world now apple may be the first trillion dollar company in the united states but others are hoping to follow suit including amazon and google zoner alphabet. well jim anderson is the c.e.o. of social flow which advises social media companies and is also a commentator on technology business trends he says these results are reflection of the loyalty of apple uses but also the strength of the market. the tech sector surely has been performing phenomenally the growth in these tech companies had a few bumps lately with earnings releases the past couple of weeks but still you're talking about companies that are worth more than half a trillion dollars and now for apple to get to this one trillion dollar mark is certainly it's the best of the best all of these tech companies are being rewarded for stellar growth and sometimes they're punished when we saw what happened to facebook you know facebook had a record earnings a couple of weeks ago when it was punished pretty badly because the growth was not

quite what was expected you look at apple's numbers and the growth was there and so clearly the market loves when the tech companies continue to grow they know they know how to turn that growth into profit you think about it you and i can reasonably say wow that's a lot of money for a phone i'm not sure i want to spend it i'm not sure our opinions matter so much that consumers clearly have voted with their wallets and their pocket books and they're buying those phones and apple ever since steve jobs came back you know where when after he had been booted out of the company really honed in and made its products have a very sleek sense of design and have a whole lot of consumer appeal and that clearly hasn't changed people still want to own i phones and other apple devices and we see the result. you're watching old zero reminder of all top stories in both ways the opposition leader has rejected what he calls unverified fake results of the presidential election. condemned the electoral commission after it was the milingo emerged as

a lie to an extent to which people in the west would find it difficult to imagine coming up with those who. say. there's big money for the country's cyber superstars to get any attention from somebody just as a sign that you exist in a very difficult and bar and endless hours of entertainment for millions of diehard fans short of having yet the layout yet it has to do the final because he has a. great popularity can bring serious repercussions controversial live streamers attract the attention of the chinese government which has already shut down three major internet. and thousands of individual accounts i'm steve on this episode one of the nice meets the cyber celebs behind the great chinese firewall.

october that. yes oh well that's what i've got some joker hunters all my fault that i'm a wall although i don't all watch hunger enough to see what you want. to. transfer me with. in trade for you. but even on. the ball. because you know quite a private contractor that. to my son my sons for the. trees am regime gone the us are thinking about in all this time what did you what

some thought but yes i sound very sure that he was. male tongue. and. surely. i mean a heart attack and. i don't know it will be other than me he was here. bro dodger go long already it's all a drink of water to go from here yes he's my good friend. sorry girlfriend my girlfriend she's your girlfriend. this self-confessed unemployable young man a fortune without me because. he won't say how much but it's enough to buy this apartment and a couple of others. are all b.b.

baby i think you get the baby i think i did tell them to you all the while as a live stream hundreds of thousands of people tune in to watch him talk sing and play the full making him one of china's unlikely superstar. i'm jelly on my. face. allen and they don't bring the point in trying out. i'm just going to. it's a high pressure act enhanced by a large dose of canned laughter. so what are. you worried at all. that's what i wanted to kind of wall in on.

thanks to this so-called great fire wall the chinese experience the internet differently to the rest of us. it's not facebook or twitter or even google connecting them to the rest of the world. stripped of everything from politics to point. hundreds of millions of chinese turn to live streaming platforms for their entertainment. for them it's worth paying for the millions of people have taken to these platforms as sort of new social boat a way of communicating. as a way for these sort of lonely hearts these lonely young people to connect. the live streaming phenomenon has been an irresistible story of modern china for the los angeles times beijing bureau chief jonathan cayman so it's

a technology story it's a business story it's a social story and it's a political story all wrapped into one and it's and it's very it's unpredictable. streamer and comedian one show you want has over five million fans. they tuning in to his foolish antics in the same way we would consume hours of cat videos on social media a lot of it was. one of his biggest fans stops work every afternoon to watch how much time would you spend watching streaming every day. like. talk hard on. the chinese have

a special term for streamers and their fans. who hate on these. originally applied to online gamers who may not have many social skills but who are in their element online. it turns a community of nerds into superstars wonder the whole world will give out a word for it if you're not happy when they see you know the whole scenario if you were to look at. them all that he was lazy survive that's all that but that still bothered. me. with an eye to the toolbar where there's a milton but it will. surprise you that you'll pull out a. well without. the book to read all of our.

show you one earns a living thanks to the generosity of his fans by him the virtual gifts using an online currency equivalent to china's one child the rules of war the war. and really. really. hard to be that i thought i had to deal with. this was. a letter to the. today show you ones fans will buy him four and a half thousand virtual lipsticks worth about eighteen thousand dollars. around two thirds of that money goes to the streaming platform from the wrist to show you one six thousand dollars isn't bad for a couple of hours work mr one probably doesn't need your supporters and of course you can watch a live stream without paying anything while you. cheerleading she's. live

your word it is you don't negotiate they really do want either the null pointer value or the. government or the other little which is the world so you. just run to the side or this is over there will only find it in it. in china countless small acts of generosity by fans and up to a billion dollar industry. it'll be a part of the out the out. so yeah that was already. in post article i knew.

one show you one enjoys the trappings of his success he's got an assistant who chauffeurs him from his new apartment to the one he's bought for his mother from the void. that's added over there are. but i do. show you one had a humble upbringing his parents worked for state owned factories before being made redundant. they'd hoped their only son would take care of them in their old i never imagined it would be like

this. so it's you doing this yeah. so even though i know i have enough time that you'll have your daughter you know that's how do you see that. how did you feel about getting involved as wives through when he was first starting out actually. you're looking for her to hear what. what if what. you're going to. find actually is not so is it. that one day and then only because it's. militant so nothing and nothing you know we. live streaming has created its own fan driven economy but in the west it's often used very differently. to broadcast protests or police

shootings. you know he had you thought to get it. there's no citizen journalism in china. but it turns out that even online silliness worries the government why it's. bothers the communist party about live streaming. is first and foremost how popular it is how many people are on it it's about people having the ability to interact. using channels that are beyond the government's control. the industry doubled in size last year and the chinese government is grappling with how to control it. in the last eighteen months there's been a crackdown on live streaming focusing on morality first in the senses sites. see banana e says there was one woman who gained a following for eating

a banana in a sexually suggestive manner and so the government issued a new edict banning the eating of banana on that's a specific edict it was a specific edict from china from china's media watchdog that you can't eat a banana while you're streaming you can't eat a banana suggest you can't eat a banana and i suggest of manner wall live streaming. since then thousands of streamers have been banned and strict new regulations introduced. in july three major internet platforms were ordered to shut down the streaming service is impossible to overestimate the degree to which the communist party will go to maintain its grip on the discourse the government itself has teams of sensors and forces internet companies have their own teams of censors that the number in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands that are tuned to the government's

demands they know they have an idea of where the red lines are and it's their job to shut things down. to keep street. as online and the money rolling in and the industry has taken to self censorship you know time actually wasn't i wasn't in the safeguards are not going to tell me yet that is out i have. young is co-founder of red media company that's a kind of factory for a live stream as. long. as in their own. words it was that. somebody. sometimes has had to such a. pleasure to welcome in that's why it's not

a hobby yet. so. sure. that's what what it ha yeah. so a woman to go to in attendance at the party to go to the stand i have one goal. that's how to play our. and that. entails attends a. meeting like it was yeah this week. oh no sure. how do you want to have.

a. usual. well she sits in. which it was horrifying at. the hyatt heading out say the wizard and had seen using those on their own with up. a sign that suits your neck does not come until the. stream is done just have big government breathing down their necks i also have

family on how to worry about. this or that. often want to turn them on me. i want to come a young lady behind in the in all of them will. call that even when you know to whom knowledge of the town the from and we're not so different. in the industrial city of tongue shun shall shenlong is struggling to support his wife and young son as a taxi driver. but he dreams of riches and celebrity. all things go. on until six months ago he had a thriving career as a live stream and made these little comedy sketches with his wife.

but it's hard for a jew so full sun to pursue a career in life streaming if his parents disapproved. of the i phone while for offering you a. job in the to ben begin the. at the barrel of a hill we've been the other i've been there in the hundreds only when. i asked shane long if he could take me back to his village to meet his parents they lived through the cultural revolution when individual expression was suppressed. how do they feel about their son's ambition to be an internet star why didn't you want him to be live streamed it. that's the way it was our. wishes it was all far out there are the diminished part of our lives yet she

probably asked about yes i said. i know. you know only. what is there for your ass really like to do. this in. order to get it. from his parents point of view shenlong might as well be from another planet but he knows china has changed and he's determined to embrace the future. more cumbia into weather for a while because in the west and all of that he didn't need help with winds and the young. gun in ignorance of whether the in one cell in the near. momo one zero. hour from now on with only a hole with a mark on them but dream your after a six month break shenlong is going to have another crack at live streaming. no.

it wasn't. the. problem. i think. he realized that being himself wasn't enough to attract an audience. nor a low. nest. is alter ego needed to be more confident and spontaneous. what about. the deeds one leno twenty learning or singer have done and. then they are planning on some very hard all. year and then they are the years and i will make of the yes i will winter.

in long can make more than two hundred dollars streaming for a couple of hours compared with forty dollars a day as a taxi driver. no wonder he sees live streaming as a ticket to a better life. whether they're from the countryside or the city anyone can become a stream up and find an audience. but can they hold on to their stardom and stay within the government's boundaries at the same time. it doesn't actually do things look like. to do it all the legally under your roof off the general idea about confidence and

spontaneity can get you more fans. going too far can mean fall in foul of the senses. that salacious and show you one learned the hard way when a live stunt brought his career tumbling down. he got drunk and then started streaming for you know in the end you know yeah and that's all. they are and they're go about a good trip with. breaking the government's regulations on morality xiaoyu one got caught with his pants down. funny it's all it is really yeah i was there and i went on the ovens or i see a lot of. so it was you're telling him that you know one hundred m. it's a little bit of a city then there's also that. many of his fans were

devastated along. with their favorite stream and gone it was a whole lives now hold your my mind you know you know your odds are good. that i see on a pile on the whole. are worth. the new year you had the one. show you one spent a year in limbo wondering whether he'd ever be allowed to stream again. oral. runs a gun you know monkey and. some of the dogs that you know as a whole from what about what i know is still. haunted me about his years on the. wrong.

which is. back on line with one show you won and they usually confident streamer seems to be a little camera shy he knows self-expression is a double edged sword misato if you've got a child that. that boundaries exist even if he doesn't always know where they are. it's almost as though technology offers a promise of freedom that can never quite be realized. yes i mean people say in china that people live in a cage here and yet the walls of the cage for many are the bars of the cage are so

far away that people don't know they exist or don't know where they are and i think the metaphor holds true for the live streaming phenomenon. commercial capital yangon is a symbol of its rapid economic growth but in its slums families struggle to survive borrowing money from merciless loan sharks is their hold inside the cycle of debt when east on al-jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
