her friends and allies played a positive role in preventing and his condition from taking place here their story on talk to al-jazeera. this is zero. hello and welcome i'm devika pollin you're watching the news hour live from london coming up. president and the one calls on turks to support their falling currency as increased u.s. territory add to the mounting pressure on the lera. the u.n. calls for a credible and transparent investigation into saudi led coalition air strike that killed schoolchildren in yemen. two palestinians shot and killed by israeli fire during protests at the gaza israel border. and zimbabwe's presidential inauguration

is delayed after the opposition challenges the election results in court. with the sport as the english premier league season kicks off later on friday plus players continue their protests in the n.f.l. all of details on those stories and more later in the program. a deepening trade dispute between the u.s. and turkey has hit the turkish lira hard on the currency markets u.s. president donald trump has doubled steel and alimony and tariffs on turkey to force the release of an american pastor who's being held on terrorism charges it's a move that the turkish trade minister has condemned is against world trade organization rolls of this move us increased pressure on the turkish economy with the arrow for falling to a record low president. addressed the issue at a rally and he was urging citizens to sell their dollars and buy layer instead to

prop up the tanking currency. all the turkish president says he will not use an economic war with washington. the dollar will not stand in our way do no worry about it i see it again i call on you all citizen to change the euros to dollars and to gold that you are keeping beneath your pillows into liras in our banks this is a domestic and national struggle we will not lose his economic will we will respond to those sure will you make enormous source against us with our national currency. tweeted that he had increased the tariffs on turkey quote as our currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downwards against our very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time so let's take a look at how bad things have got for the turkish lira since the start of the year the year as lost thirty five percent of its value against the dollar and most of that has happened since our two one we took office with a hugely expanded powers

a month ago so now because he has more from istanbul. turkish economy is named to be one of the fridge all economies like many other emerging markets and since the failed coup attempt in july two thousand and sixteen turkish clear out was under pressure the rate for one dollar was three point five last year around this time and today it's more than six neeraj however to latest political dispute between united states and turkey over the arrest of pastor bronson is actually challenging because it's turkish government supporters and the government itself see this as a political movement as a manifestation speculation over the turkish lira but the analysts the market analysts warn the turkish economy has structural problems and turkey's finance minister and the treasurer minister birth records trying to deliver messages that turkey is committed to independence of the central bank. ok forewarned this meeting

cross over live to alan fisher is in washington for us allan tensions have been building up between the two nato allies to give us some background to these trade tariffs. well there's an economic part of this and there's the diplomatic part of this and it all goes back to twenty sixteen and beyond if you go back to july twenty sixth when you remember there was a failed coup in tukey know the talks and president believe that girl and who is based here in the united states was the man who for mental and helped to direct it so they asked the united states to extradite him and the the united states refused no there's a gentleman by the name of andrew bronson who is a pastor who works in izmir he's an american citizen and he was arrested by the turks the see that he was involved in the coup that he was meeting people he was fermenting trouble there if you're in the united states you see simply that is an

evangelical christian pastor and all he was doing was meeting people who are coming through his church or got in touch with them because of his ministry but he is currently in house arrest in izmir a week ago the united states impose sanctions on two senior members of the turkish government the interior minister and the foreign minister he says trying to remember off the top of his head and said essentially that no one in the united states can do business with them and the reason for that was they wanted to make sure that andrew bronson would be released now over the past week there's been a delegation from turkey here in washington d.c. the big meeting people from the state department they've also been meeting people as well from the treasury department and they were hoping there could be some sort of deal that was done that would get andrew brunson back into the united states that hasn't happened twenty four hours later you have donald trump tweeting saying that he is going to impose new tariffs on steel and aluminum coming in from turkey

now it imports these before as part of the trade war that he's currently fighting with various parts of the e.u. or with china with mexico and with canada but by doubling it he's doing it really is specifically because. as of the bronson case and he's doing it under a very narrow focus of national security so it doesn't need congressional approval but that's not the only thing that's feeding into this there are problems too between the united states and turkey over what's happening in syria the turks weren't happy that the united states were using kurdish fighters the united states weren't entirely happy with some of the things that the turks were doing during the offensive in the northern part of syria there's a problem to going back to one president at the one visited washington d.c. in a number of bodyguards were accused of attacking protesters outside the embassy and in fact they have been indicted and the other side of that of course is that in

turkey in ankara three norn u.s. embassy workers u.s. embassy workers were arrested by the turks so pile all that then and you get what we've seen over the last couple of hours how is it going to play out well no one's entirely sure but we do know that over the last few hours shares in the united states and in europe have gone down in the markets have reacted to this because they're worried about the financial crisis in turkey which president one is trying to keep everyone about but certainly the actions of donald trump wall not help him say to the world markets look we've got things under control here this is not going to play terribly well in those markets and of course this diplomatic standoff continues between the u.s. and turkey alan fischer live for us from washington d.c. thank you. yemen's who the rebels have joined the united nations in calling for an independent probe into saudi led coalition attack on a bus full of school children on thursday the un had just wrapped up

a special session on the strikes which killed fifty and wounded seventy others inside a province the saudi led coalition insists it struck at legitimate targets mohammad audio has the latest from djibouti. it's hard to imagine a more dis tabi and sickening image of the futility over war in the year. of the seattle one strike by the sodium but article you should put it parts us through. i'm on hold cell phone video but. what is his guilt what is his crime he wonders why target these students this is the walk of the american soda coalition as strike school children why we will seek revenge no matter what he says. these children were in a minibus full of students heading back from a school some a company in yemen. but as the boss drove through a busy market in. the probe is it was thought that by the strike they do what they

can here at the hospital which is under resourced an overwhelming. and what effect will it top on these young minds dozens of their classmates were killed in the strike there's now a growing chorus of condemnation a real thing in the immense three and a half year. it took the images of these children drenched in blood and reeling from shock to move the world we deplore thursday's attack in yemen where a coalition air strike has a bus carrying children in diane market inside the reportedly killing forty people and injuring another sixty eight the u.n. secretary general and tony has called for a swift investigation into the talk to secretary general emphasizes that or parties mistake constant care to spare civilians and civilian objects in the conduct of military operations and he calls for an independent and prompt investigation into

this incident the conflict in yemen pits the richest countries in the region so that it be on the united arab emirates against the poorest the sodium and arctic qualification has been a report that the criticised for targeting civilian areas in their war against the whole of the fortress the fighting has killed and left millions of us on the brink of starvation coming all the while jazeera djibouti we cannot deny get more from roslyn jordan who is at the united nations there was land that meetings ended what's come out of it did you know we heard from the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. karen pierce who is acting as the president of the security council for this month she read out what's known as a press statement under an agreement agreed sort of comments by the members of the security council to reporters waiting outside the security council chamber this is essentially what karen pierce the u.k.

ambassador had to say. i think as with all these things the important thing is the word credible if there is an acceptable credible investigation then the council will want to consider next steps in the light of that if any investigation held is not credible the council will obviously want to review that and want to review if more is necessary. so what happens now is there any clear line of action. well there isn't a clear line of action and certainly the point that reporters were raising with ambassador piers one thing that the statement did not call for was an independent investigation and that raised a lot of eyebrows will why shouldn't the independent ambassador pierces point is that it's the kind of evidence that will actually empower the council to figure out what if any punitive steps ought to be taken what she did say is that members of the security council would be consulting with various officials here at the inn as

well as with other interested parties to try to figure out how to get such an investigation under the under way but it is important to underscore here that it's not the security council that itself is going to convene this investigation also in jordan with the latest from the united nations thank you. well incidents such as thursday's air strike in yemen have led to growing calls for countries to stop supplying arms to saudi arabia and its allies and march alone the us department approved the sale of six hundred seventy million dollars worth of anti-tank missiles to saudi arabia the u.a.e. is the second biggest destination for american arms exports the u.k. exports nearly half of all its arms to saudi arabia since twenty fifteen london has licensed a five point eight billion dollars worth of arms to riyadh france italy and spain also supply the saudis with us and the u.a.e. with weapons some european states have reduced their arms sales and protests

against the war in yemen belgium the netherlands norway and germany have all suspended license as far as sales to those countries and the saudi led coalition well joining me now is under smit from the campaign against the arms trade thanks very much for coming in i mean it's quite ironic that we've just heard the u.k. ambassador speak there when asked we just read out there were you know the u.k. the u.s. and several other european countries are. providing a lot of these arms can you tell us why is it purely financial and should they be held as complicit i think exposes the rank hypocrisy at the heart of u.k. foreign policy where the u.k. ambassador has rightly talked about the humanitarian concerns in yemen and yet u.k. government has licensed billions of pounds worth of arms that are being used in yemen i think what lies behind it is geo political strategy but also frankly money and money talks macedo regime spends billions of pounds and arms miyuki every year

unfortunately many of those weapons are being used in yemen right now is the u.k. fighter jets flying over yemen or u.k. bombs and u.k. missiles that should being dropped from the sky in the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars that these countries are getting and we've heard some countries have restricted their sales is there really any impetus for countries like the u.k. france the u.s. to stop the sales well certainly paul after paul has shown the overwhelming majority of u.k. public are firmly opposed to these arms exports in fact polling done in march this year thing but only six percent of people in view key believe that these arms sales to saudi arabia are acceptable and they are having a catastrophic and we have seen that we've seen the way as compromised so you keep politics as well where when the saudi crown prince was visiting london in february he was given the fool red carpet treatment and yet no matter how many terrible devastating attacks have happened no matter how many homes have been destroyed how

many lives have been lost was arms sales have continued but if their argument to say that that made the sales and after that their responsibility is over this is all just business but the argument could be used to justify selling absolutely anything to anyone is meant to have standards and these things we always hear about the u.k. government is meant to be a force for human rights and democracy alone for the world and yet it is. arming and supporting some of the most repressive regimes in the world and it does have an impact we have just seen that with the u.n. ambassador suggesting that it was ok for sadia rapier to investigate itself for war crimes this is a dictatorship which cannot be trusted to run free and fair elections and yet is being trusted to investigate itself for war crimes let's be realistic about the situation say you have these countries and they decide they are going to stop selling arms to saudi are you a someone else is going to step in and provide that is this really going to stop what we're seeing well again the argument could be used to justify selling weapons

to absolutely anyone in the world we don't just want view k. to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia and to end its complicity in the devastation of yemen we want to see it are going for countries to do the same thing we want to see an end to all arms deals to save the regime and all political support which has been propping up through this terrible devastating bombing i mean i'm well aware of the ending the arms industry is not something that's going to happen overnight but in the short term the focus has to be on keeping arms away from human rights of using these names and keeping weapons away from war zones right now by far the largest buyer of u.k. arms. which is one of the most abusive regimes in the world and is using was weapons and one of the worst war zones in the world in yemen and it has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world the time to act is no thank you so much and thank you for your time thank you. ok so lots more to come this news hour from london to tell you about

a major battle continuing in afghanistan where taliban gunmen have attacked the city of gaza. and thousands of people travel plans have been disrupted as ryanair as pilots go on strike. and set us world's number one iraq has set up a quarter final clash in toronto we'll have the details and sports with peter. has a problem president emerson mahna mahna god had his inauguration delayed because of a legal challenge to his electoral victory lawyers of the movement for democratic change alliance filed their case of the supreme court in harare just of your arse ago and they said they have mammoth as events of frauds and election rigging we can go to harlem a tosser who joins us live from harare so how are you how what is the case that the opposition is hoping to build. well it's the first time in zimbabwe's history an

integration has been stopped the m.d.c. alliance's that it was result overturned they say they have evidence forms that they say show that the results were tampered with and they say numbers don't lie they insist they won the election the judges will probably need to depends how soon they meet if it's quick and they think that this evidence is weak they could throw the case outs or they could say they need more time to go over all this evidence that could take a couple of days if they don't meet over the weekend monday and choose their public holidays which means they meet on the wednesday they have fourteen days to make the decision run or zimbabweans can do is wait so have you seen any kind of reaction from amman agogo or the zanu p.f. or even their supporters. well the president elect. respects the court's going to be of supporters are not happy about this the m.d.c. opposition are ecstatic about it but most of us who concern about the economy are

worried a few hours ago the african business community came out and see they really want to come and invest in zimbabwe they really want to create jobs but they can't do that if the body doesn't get its house in order this election was very different from some of the others we've seen over the years there was a sense of hope from most people that she spoke to us which party supported it was a first elation that robert mugabe on the ballot and if you want to hoping for a fresh start especially when it comes to the economy and now because of this court challenge things are going to drag on a lot longer than people thought that means the economy will not recover as quickly as people hoped because of this political stalemate. in the zimbabwean capital thank you. the palestinian health ministry says two people have been killed by israeli far as protests take place on the gaza israel border the demonstrations are testing an uneasy truce reached between hamas and israel on thursday that cease fire followed two days of intense violence which saw at least three palestinians

killed by israeli airstrikes rockets have also been fired into southern israel as well as burning balloons stratford has more from gaza. another friday of protests here in gaza all the armed factions including hamas calling people to come out and participate in these demonstrations now these latest protests the twenty is week in a row come after the worst escalation of violence between hamas and israel since the two thousand and fourteen war and there are great fears that these protests something that israel often calls a provocation could lead to a new escalation of violence of course hamas a saying that the people here have every right to continue to come out and protest against the twelve year long land and sea blockade by israel the israeli army earlier today saying that they had eased security restrictions on the towns in southern israel close to northern the northern gaza border an indication that they

were confident that this truce seems to be holding but as i say there are phase here that any provocation any slight incident during these protests in the hours ahead could lead to another escalation of violence between hamas and israel. heavily armed taliban fighters have stormed the central afghan city of gosney attacking police checkpoints and government buildings the fighters tried to over on the city setting off a day long clashes with u.s. backed afghan forces at least fourteen afghan police were killed and twenty were wounded in the assault the police chief says there were more than one hundred fifty other casualties but he could not give a breakdown charlotte ballasts have the latest from kabul. this attack began about two am local time here in afghanistan the taliban launching a heavy assault on the police headquarters in the capital of the province residents saying that they heard rockets hitting the police headquarters just after two

o'clock this morning the taliban they moved in took up positions around the police headquarters and from gear they moved out throughout the city there were heavy gun battles through the morning between taliban and afghan police and afghan security forces the taliban then moved into a residential area where they remained for most of the day that's where they'd watch a lot of their assault from a centrally taking human shields in people there tear a fight as they heard gun battles outside they saw bodies on the streets they were hearing rockets at one point the u.s. seem to be one bomber over here and cell phone towers were down so they really had no way to figure out what was going on in the city the taliban however was sitting out statements throughout the day claiming various successes saying that they killed one hundred forty afghan soldiers and police officers the government steered fastly denying that throughout the day saying it's simply not true we are in control of the city yes there is an attack but we are in control and have been

throughout the day we maintained control of government ministries and buildings they said this in a statement earlier that. there has been fighting in gaza the province for a long time in the entire province of gaza as well as gaza new we have defeated the taliban and our enemy has. sustained significant casualties last night the storm from doctor. and my dad wardak province is you know the president did attack on gaza and. it's very important for the government to maintain an air of confidence for the public here in afghanistan make sure the people feel secure because we have coming up here on october the twenty years thousands of romanians who live abroad are rallying in the capital bucharest calling for the government to resign earlier there were some scuffles after demonstrators crossed police lines the protesters many of whom drove across europe to attend are angry about the way romania is being governed by the social democrats they say they left the country because of

corruption within the government and the lack of opportunities hundreds of thousands have now signed a petition calling for action. now the travel plans of fifty five thousand people across europe have been disrupted due to a pilot's going on strike at ryanair one in six of ryanair is flights have been canceled as the pilots in germany arlin sweden belgium and the netherlands walk off the job over pay and conditions dominic cain has more details from berlin. sleeping on the airport floor rather than in a holiday hotel all because of the strike that's hit ryanair for these passengers their vacation is beginning with uncertainty and lots of tricky questions like this couple freshmen from the states and we landed here in berlin right yeah i mean really they told us that the ryanair flight to athens that we had booked are being canceled because. pilots are strike so we just went through a couple different ways of getting that then their line rebooked scaling up that's

all we need tonight and then tomorrow in the morning bouncing from that's only to athens so what's behind this industrial action ryanair employs about four hundred pilots here in germany they are members of the pilots union cockpit and for the union issue with ryanair is very clear they want improved terms and conditions and they say ryanair really needs to reform. that's what today is not about want to debate ryanair and it wouldn't be possible any way against a transatlantic employee but what it is about is to signal to management that there needs to be an end to them trying to beat their own staff today you want to send a clear message to dublin ryanair must change so far at least the airline appears not to want to but its chief executive has accepted ryanair will take a financial hit it's hard to assess the damage of a new features from the one he said no quarter was sold says there are fears this

summer he thought it would be a four percent you know if it bit you get one percent so here's the damage that that's good. but not perhaps for those caught up in friday's strike action don it came out zerah had been shown a third airport. there's much more to come on this program including dreaming of college some u.s. states step in to help young people who can't get it actually because of their citizenship status. worry a biologist battle to save from suspicious millions of tourists flock to its popular culture does your region. and then scores of former tour de france champion is arrested by german police tito explain why.

hello there we've still got a showers around the black sea at the moment we're seeing some particularly heavy downpours over the northern parts of turkey and into ga ga's really being quite wet over the last few weeks more wet weather is expected to as we head through the next few days the showers just slightly becoming more broken up so if you will driest slopes in between perhaps further south and it's fine drawing just warm as you'd expect in beirut thirty degrees in force in baghdad is just hot at forty six couple not quite as hot here will get to around thirty five now here in doha it's been very sticky over the past few days your sunglasses have folks up instantly the moment you've stepped outside it's still going to be like that as we had three saturday changes on sunday the winds fire down from the northwest bringing in so far dry air but dry air can get that bit hotter so we'll see the temperatures climb up to around forty five degrees i think as we head through the day if we had down towards the southern parts of africa we've seen some very wet weather here particularly here in the southeast is also brought

a lot of snow over the mountains as well this system is gradually going to move away as we head into saturday and then we'll return to the sunshine and the dry weather for the temperatures and been a pleasant twenty degrees for us in capetown will be at around seventeen. when mexico's leaders implemented drastic and controversial energy reforms the country's oil owned by the mexican people for seventy five years was to be sold to private international companies. but to what extent is the country exposed to exploitation by a profit driven multinational corporation. could harvest our knowledge of their own good. amidst a climate of violence and paranoia and. those still willing to dream.

in honduras dennis seeks a brighter future for his son and community. using ott to reclaim the city. and transform the very symbol of cost oppression. if you find in latin america liberating a prison on al-jazeera. well again here's a reminder for top stories and al-jazeera turkey's currency has fallen to record low after u.s. president on troubled steel and allen many in tariffs on the optional security grounds. the u.n. security council has called for an investigation into an airstrike that hits

a school bus in northern yemen who the rebels say he is fifty people including twenty nine children were killed in the attack by the saudi led coalition and zimbabwean president emerson my god why has had his inauguration delayed because of a legal challenge his electoral victory lawyers for the main opposition party follow their case at the supreme court in harare. now a deal to settle the legal status of the caspian sea has been reached after more than two decades of debate this agreement is due to be signed in kazakhstan on sunday the caspian is the world's largest body of water and it's a rich in oil and gas kazakhstan azerbaijan iran russia and turkmenistan all of caspian shores a key point of the disagreement was whether the caspian was a sea or a lake which would inform how its wealth could be distributed international treaties govern seas where have no global laws and there's also a lot at stake the seabed holds trillions of dollars worth of hydrocarbons which

amounts to about fifty billion barrels of oil and nearly nine trillion cubic meters of natural gas. for more on this i'm joined by and the board who is an associate fellow in the russia and eurasia program at chatham house thank you very much for coming in to speak to us so they've been debating this for two decades what's finally happened to make them come together and actually have some sort of an agreement this takes a ha it's been two decades in the making in more than fifty one working groups and now of the convention that's due to be signed on sunday will clarify the business environment and allow investors to go ahead. the. the building of a trans caspian pipeline through turkmenistan into europe has really been opposed meanly by russia and iran for all of these years sensibly on environmental grounds that it would be in danger the caspian sea need biosphere but those

arguments appear specious given that russia of course has built pipelines across the black sea to turkey and across the gulf of finland. and so really they were masking economic concerns about took minutes from becoming a competitor in terms of its gas markets to europe and now really quite simply securities concerns have trumped any concerns that russia's had about the building of the trans cost in pipeline so does this look like a done deal or are there any other sticking points that could hinder progress with this what is this step what does this basically allow these countries to do one of sikkim point could be environmental education in principle oh this is unlikely because the convention allows for a majority vote rather than any sort of veto clause and this would allow projects to go forward such as in particular the trans caspian pipeline which would be very

important strategic step as well as a pipeline an oil pipeline that in the midst of the making between cause extol on and turkmenistan but primarily russia. is keen at this point in time to formalize its military dominance in the caspian so that brings weren't so i next question who is most likely to gain from this. are each of the countries equally going to benefit or is there the this it seems cute in some well of course of course iran would be the major loser in the sense that the division of the caspian sea will be in proportion to each little states shoreline which would give it only thirteen percent was kazakhstan would be big given that more than half of the cast pins wealth is in that sector russia simply has to gain the as i said the formalisation of its military dominance bearing in mind that its used its warships in the cast been to actually launch missile strikes against syria some six hundred kilometers away it's caspian full chill would be guaranteed access to the entire

see and image troubled relations with the us and the europe it's a good time to maintain a good atmosphere with its caspian neighbors and so how will this eventually affect the energy sector are we going to see an immediate impact the impact would not be immediate but is first when the sun's concern which would be when the main beneficiary it's currently transferred its monopoly the not believe that russia had on a list exports to china so it's now been undergoing a very severe economic crisis for a number of years and this would finally allow it to diversify its exports to europe however the building of the pipeline could take some time and that poor from chatham house thank you so much for coming in and speaking to us today thank you. ok here are some of conflict in libya especially in its so-called oil crescents have impacted on the country's power generation and the

areas live in total blackouts for long hours and constant electricity outages are affecting the economy. reports from tripoli. mohammed chick shook's a butcher shop struggles with power cuts he says his business is only decline because his fridges don't keep the meat as cold as they used to and the changing power levels have ruined his equipment in many cases power switches blow up by a sudden voltage current form you know we we find spoiled meat in the fridges every day even though we use power generators when the electricity goes off at night for several hours we also pay a lot of money to menton our ruined machines. generators have become a grown trade but they are taking a toll on the environment and people's pockets to all these shops use power

generators to run their businesses and you can hear their sound all over the city frequent power cuts have affected almost all sectors and during these summer months the heat usually forces many people out of their homes families flocked to public parks like this one for some cool air although sustain their cars for long hours just to use the air conditioners. energy is used in some medical centers though it's more costly looked on as you have been r.b.s. each baby incubators here operates through six power plugs the. power level fluctuations and switching from one power supply to another can affect these incubators and that endangers babies lives. but the government agency that provides electricity blames the consumers in all sectors for what it calls

excessive voltage consumption it's recently conducted a campaign to stop the illegal use of power it's also urging consumers to cut back on their consumption that had been a current production is around five thousand five hundred megawatt consumption is more than seven thousand two hundred depending on consumers conduct also several power plants to stop working after foreign workers who operated them left because of the security and financial deterioration in the country many shop owners like mohammed have had to let go there. and small businesses that cannot afford generators have closed down after the use of instability and fighting it appears for now only a political solution could fix libya's electricity problems. tripoli at least four people including two police officers have been killed in

a shooting in eastern canada police say one suspect is in custody and is being treated for serious injuries the circumstances of the shooting in the city of fredericton are still unclear officers had urged people in the area to remain inside their homes with the torso law so i went to my back window and i seen a fire truck coming around here it's like well maybe it's something blowing up like propane or something then i realized that the area was filling up pretty quickly with police officers and that i'd better get my ground so i sat on the floor of my . house shots are going off in a few more here and there went downhill for about twenty minutes there was no shot so i felt safer about five or shots went off and it was quiet for another half hour and then shots. president donald trump has repeatedly threatened to end the so-called dreamers programs which gives temporary protection to young people who came to the u.s. with their parents but even if they did manage to stay dreamers are not eligible

for loans which would allow them to continue their education so that some states are stepping in to provide college funds as gabriel is under ports in new jersey. was yet the chance of teenagers wanting the opportunity to go to college in america who can't afford it there the so-called dreamers from the dhaka program started by barack obama in two thousand and twelve it gave temporary protection from deportation to undocumented migrants who arrived in the u.s. as children but dreamers are barred from getting government aid for college but most coming from working class families it means college is out of reach such as for this teenager whose mom couldn't afford the college fees she barely makes it now with all the bills so i think a college tuition on to that is unthinkable. while president donald trump is into the dreamers program altogether new jersey's newly elected democratic governor of

signing a law that expands rights to the dreamers allowing them to apply for financial aid to attend college and stay. it's a direct rebuke to trump president trump and many of his republican enablers in congress have cast the worst aspersions on our dreamers but we need a new jersey go better we know that economic progress could not be achieved without social progress new jersey now becomes the tenth state in america to offer financial aid to undocumented immigrants or dreamers just here in the state of new jersey it's expected to benefit over six hundred people but critics say the new law will be expensive and encourage undocumented immigrants from other states to move to new jersey interests he was ranked number one in the entire country for him plucks of new on documented immigrants within the state we're already spending in

excess of i believe two hundred twenty million dollars per year in public education funds just on the e.s.l. programs so it has a financially detrimental impact on the state to have the. supporters say it's a matter of fairness and i was there we believe firmly believe that all students should have access to financial aid nobody should be busting to a dilemma of whether to pay for college out of i mean the cost of which are increasing year by here jersey's not only asking undocumented immigrants to stay and attend college but now also providing the money to do it gabriel is on doe. newark new jersey. protests by members of china's one a at ethnic minority have a hold so the planned demolition of a mosque ways you grand mosque was set to be destroyed for what the government said was a violation of planning regulations a mosque recently opened after two years of construction the local county had now

says no action will go ahead without the agreement of the townspeople a members of the predominantly muslim way have complained of growing restrictions on their religion. of the trial date for the former prime minister prime minister najib razak has been set for next february on charges linked to a multi-billion dollar scandal at a state fund and his wife had been barred from leaving the country following his arrest last month he's been charged with seven offenses including criminal breach of trust i mean as a power and money laundering najib has pleaded not guilty and has been granted bail . relief agencies a warning of the potentially catastrophic impact of the heatwave in north korea there's been no rainfall there since july the temperatures soaring to an average of thirty nine degrees celsius it's causing rice maize and other vital crops to wither increasing the risk of a full blown food security crisis international sanctions could also worsen the
