really the biggest point at the end of this administration has been about violence in the country two thousand and eighteen is projected to be the most violent year. move violent than even when we started covering the mexican drug war in two thousand and nine two thousand and ten and he admitted i haven't been able to bring about peace to mexico it's been a bit worse not things have got worse on the his governor under his administration so he really tried to put a positive spin on things but it was a message that talked about the things that go right but there have been a lot of things that have a go on right this administration yeah i mean you mentioned that you know you feel he'll want to be remembered for his reforms while that's what he may want to be remembered for what do you think he will actually even then but for. so you put it exactly right there he will not be seen as reform of but the mix composite i think will define him by two or three things that happened throughout his presidency after all of those reforms in two thousand and fourteen forty three students were

taken by a gang but also by local police in southwest mexico and he was very slow to react to that his government was very slow to react reluctant to do a really profound investigation into that and that investigation had a lot of irregularities i think for a lot of people that spoke to the fact that he was very happy to be going on with his plan to reform the country but when things happen that he wasn't prepared for that touched really the security of people but also the humanitarian aspect of the country a country moving thirty thousand people to been disappeared then he wasn't ready to deal with that really and that really affected his presidency later on there was also a conflict of interest in limbo being a property that he and his wife were living in had poor but also really spoke to people that this was really the status quo with mexico continuing conflicts of

interest corruption in the mix complete school class i think people really did have to give him for those things and it was when the slide started right now he's got an approval rating of about two out of ten mexicans saying he's done a good job which is pretty historically low john homan with the latest on that final state of the union address home thank you and still to come in this half hour more than two billion dollars is promised to help those in urgent need of aid in the lake chad region and that's campaigning for the u.s. midterms steps at the high gear we look at the so-called pink wave sweeping the nation. hello there we're going to huge swirling mass of cloud over parts of europe that's

giving us some very violent thunderstorms you can see them on the satellite picture across this region here it is possible and hungary where we've got the worst of the weather at the moment plenty more thunderstorms here as we head through the day on tuesday and then gradually on wednesday that will begin to pull away towards the east and then we'll see the line of thunderstorms stretch all the way down into the northern portions of greece there towards the west generally a bit quieter for many of us here and towards the northwest still cooler with a top temperature in london of around nineteen degrees now for the other side of the mediterranean largely fine and dry for most of us here but still quite hope force in tunis were up at thirty eight degrees there on tuesday and on wednesday still very very high not quite as high for jews here we're getting to around thirty one towards the east hot forcing cairo as well up around thirty seven is the central belt of africa there where we have the majority of the showers at the moment and that's what you'd expect at this time of year they gradually rumble their way towards the west because some particularly heavy rain over the west coast of africa here it does look pretty wet at times some of those showers will be

banding together to give some more prolonged outbreaks of rain and further north we'll have just a handful of showers there over parts of nature and into mali. with . as europe's public opinion shifted savory's admonition and allowed a careful where so human exploitation took on you as false labor became the hidden face of europe's industrial revolution is true sleep is not the black history and it's not just the history of white colonization but the history of human equality is the legacy for all of that slavery's new frontiers of slavery on al-jazeera.

looking back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera argentina's president has been announced plans has announced plans to tackle this country's economic crisis including having the number of government ministers courts in myanmar has sentenced to reuters journalists to seven years in prison for possessing state secrets while known and. were arrested as they were investigating a mass killing rebirthing jerusalem's and there have been protests outside brazil's national museum in rio de janeiro demanding that the government repair the damage caused by sunday's fire large parts of the museum were destroyed. china's president paying has pledged sixty billion dollars in financial support to africa it came at

a major summit in beijing aimed at deepening ties with africa but there's concern that chinese investment may be saddling poor countries with too much debt. i don't think. we follow a five point approach with africa no interference with african countries pursuit of development getting their national conditions no different with african countries internal affairs no imposition of our will on african countries no attachment of political strings to assist us and no seeking selfish political gains in investment and finance corporations well south african president said they found that china's investment in the content in the values that it promotes in the manner that it operates and in the impact that it has on african countries. refutes the view that a newcomer on your list is taking hold in africa as i want to talk to us would have

us believe donor countries meeting in germany have pledged more than two billion dollars to the drought stricken area around lake chad this follows a u.n. warning that more than ten million people are in need of urgent assistance there that includes nigeria where hospitals are struggling to cope after a surge in cases of malnutrition from my degree where they dressed reports. are ok you mohamed has brought two children to this hospital. she says it's our last hope to save them. i brought my four year old daughter here for treatment and my son was also diagnosed with severe and acute malnutrition he's been like this for a long time. as trailers mohammad looks she says he's in a better shape than his sister who we were not allowed to phone. a few kilometers from the clinic is a big hospital dealing with cases like muhammad. this is one of the two facilities

run by doctors without borders. dedicated to treating creates a source of acute malnutrition cases three years since the first discovery of faces a famine hundred twelve patients still come to these facilities this. memo certainly displaced persons but also residents in the city that has been struggling with my years of before and by. the hospital is already full with more patients waiting to get the. doctors are now faced with a difficult choice of either turning away patients meeting them and lowering standards. in the bartman for the moment we have. three hundred patients that are coming back every two weeks for a follow up visit to see how they can and how their nutrition is improving and we have a seventy two bed facility for him patients for severely malnourished patients with complications where we're having for the moment about ninety to one hundred new

admissions per week. thousands of displaced people have returned to their villages in northeast nigeria but it's still too dangerous to go out to farm because of fear of attacks by boko haram fighters the united nations says more than ten million people in need of urgent assistance in the lake chad region most of them in nigeria's northeast hundreds have already died because unfortunately just in the last thirty years in my just the workers and the displaced say they're worried about doing a fatigue if that happens they fear thousands more could die. ahmed reese al jazeera made to carry. it's labor day monday in the u.s. the unofficial start of campaigning for the midterm elections in what's being dubbed the pink wave a record number of women are now running for office this year the majority of them against president trump's republican party voters will go to the polls in november

to the side which political party controls congress for the next two years well campbell the whole thing is a michigan at the state fair for us a so you i guess having spoken been speaking to some of the voters there what's motivating them in this campaign to sing. well there's no question barbara's you point out that women are particularly motivated seems that what american voters that if this district and there are hundreds that will be holding their own contest for electing their representatives to the house of representatives and also in the senate but it seems that they're not voting for something but instead against something against policies they don't like against a president they don't like and this is certainly true when it comes to women who will make up a significant part of the voting in the november election the congressional election in fact it's clear that they are making their voices here but what we're noticing is that the two issues that really stand out are immigration and the

economy and this is where donald trump is trying to categorize that democrats are weak when it comes to crime on the border and that they are going to open the floodgates when it comes to the economy he's taking credit for the success of the last couple of years even though democrats are arguing that this recovery started long before donald trump came into office so there's no question on these issues that there are very strong feelings particularly when it comes to female voters. at the michigan state fair women have plenty to say about us president donald trump powerful his. coining dangerous different. november americans will vote to choose a new us congress decide whether or not trump's republican party maintains control and since women tend to show up in greater numbers at the polls than men the

president will need their support labor day monday is the unofficial start of a surge in campaigning from here in the u.s. state of michigan to all across the country politicians are running on and again donald trump's record and many of them are women they are record number of women are running part of a so-called pink way. we always thought it was possible clue democrat alexandria ocasio cortez who ousted a long time congressman to win a new york primary he said we were going to fight the ill hunt omar and rashida to lead both democrats will not only make history as the first muslim women in congress but will undoubtedly be part of an effort to push back against the troubled ministration in michigan's eleventh district two female first time candidates are running against each other it reflects a trend that's been going on for years but one analyst argues trumps victory over

hillary clinton the first female candidate for president was a big reason for the search there is this a long time sense that president trump has not cared about women has not spoken to women has denigrated woman said really horrific things about women. history is not on trump's side generally the president's party loses seats in midterm elections that means if democrats take control of congress in november women could play an even bigger role in determining trump's future. and kimberly donald trump has been such a divisive president the time that he's been in office and even before he became president is this really a referendum on him and this policies both for women and that. there's no question about it and history as i pointed out before it is not on donald trump's side typically the pendulum swings so right now the u.s.

congress is controlled by the president's republican party both chambers and particularly in the house of representatives what we typically see is that pendulum swing to the other party in something like a congressional election so that is certainly working against donald trump what that means of democrats control congress essentially what we'll have are potentially impeachment proceedings that would be very damaging for the president's family hackett with the latest there from michigan kimberly thank you. for weeks the main opposition labor party in the u.k. has been embroiled in a row over anti semitism at a crucial meeting on tuesday the party's executive will be under pressure to draw a line under the issue the party is increasingly divided with some high profile m.p.'s calling for the party's leader the veteran left winger joe jeremy corbyn to resign lawrence leave reports. who is jeremy colby is he as his fervent supporters

believe the most moral politician in generations a man who spent his entire life complaining to political justice for palestine or receive equally fervent opponents allege a close it racist and anti semites who says there's a difference between criticizing israel and criticizing jews but he blows the lines between the two. there's always been a split in the labor party on israel with one wing supportive of the palestinian struggle and another wing including many jewish labor party members who actively accept and support the existence of the state of israel but never before has that split come to the surface like this because never before has there been a labor party leaders so obviously pro palestinian. at the heart of it is labour's refusal to accept several examples of anti semitic language and views as defined by the international holocaust remembrance alliance or i h r a it is deemed for

example anti semitic to say that jews are more loyal to israel than their own country or that the state of israel is by definition racist or that israeli government policies are like those of nazi germany corbin and his supporters claim this prevents them from properly criticizing israel's actions towards the palestinian people a whole raft of labor party heavyweights like former prime minister gordon brown have demanded the party clarify properly its position by falling into line with the i.h.r. a at a time when the ruling conservative party is in the whole of the brics states labor is tearing itself apart labor almost isn't functioning as a coherent political entity at the moment within it it's not so much sort of you know moderates versus corporate knights really what you see is a sort of warring fiefdoms so in quite some more there's the right wing against coburn there's a centrist against coburn there's even the left against coburn there are divisions within the leader's office there are influences from different parts of youth movements and trade unions things all very chaotic the other question is the effect

it has on colvin's reputation the may only be three hundred thousand jewish people in the u.k. but repeat suggestions of the veteran and see racist may himself have a problem carry significant electoral risks liberal leaning voters labor supporting voters who think they're in a party or supporting a party which is on to. racist and think they are themselves i'm too racist and don't want to be supporting a party which appears to be always claim to be anti semitic labour's national executive is under enormous pressure finally to change its policy though so angry is the move from the powerful left wing but it isn't a foregone conclusion labor remains a party whose membership love the leader but his politicians are deeply divided on the al-jazeera london. tens of thousands of people have attended an anti-racism concert in the german city of commits the event in response to a week of anti liberation rallies by far right groups well under the banner there

are more of us the crowd carried anti racism placards and chanted nazis several rockin indie bands performed the chancellor angela merkel has called on germans to mobilize against hate and the number of tending far exceeded expectations. just that we are not a far right city the majority of the population is totally normal democratically civilised but not far right for god's sake we don't want that we don't want such people absolutely. this is absolutely fantastic because after people come that we have to show that our city is open to everyone that we have no sympathy. in recent days. and so it's clear that i think it's cool that so many people will come here to support him.

and the reminder of our headlines on al-jazeera argentina's president has been setting up proposals aimed at cutting the country's budget deficit and propping up the troubled peso in an effort to reduce public spending makris said he will there are going to liberal government ministries also reversed one of his main policies reinstating taxes on agricultural exports. people who we have known in regard to our governing team have made the decision to reduce the number of ministries to list them half given the moment that's ahead of us i've decided to reduce my cabinet even more so we can give the upcoming agenda or a more focused response for these changes we're doing to our team and with the advances we're making with the i.m.f. we begin to overcome the crisis while always always taking care of those who need it the most there's been internet. national condemnation of a me and mars court's decision to jail to reuters journalists while long and child were found guilty of possessing state secrets and sentenced to seven years in

prison they were arrested in the summer as they were investigating a mass killing of a hinge of a million more soldiers at least eight people have been killed in an explosion at a munitions that go in near cape town in south africa investigators are trying to determine the cause of the blast at the rhine metal dental munition that. protesters have been gathering outside brazil's national museum in rio de janeiro demanding that the government repair the damage caused by sun they say fire the fire destroyed large parts of the museum which held twenty million items among them were egyptian a greek and roman relics and the oldest human skeleton found in the americas the cause of the fire is still unknown but politicians and museum staff are blaming budget cuts mexican president of egypt in an yet though has the liver of his final state of the union address once considered a savior he has lost much of that shine while in office his presidency has been dogged by corruption scandals and china's president paying has pledged sixty

billion dollars in financial support to africa he's hosting a major summit in beijing aimed at the unties but there's concern chinese investment may be settling poor countries with too much debt when using half an hour the stream is the extra. i am really could be i'm one hundred seventeen and you're in the stream today we'll hear from an artist who's mixing hip hop with the history of indigenous america native american artist frank wall joins us to share his latest music and if you're

new to the concept of indigenous hip hop and have a listen to this. never seen a storm come with that away and it's a lot more. that you can use a. pressure stress on the next in the. show. you know going on in the map. to. show. you. the legacy of broken treaties colonialism and native american genocide are constant themes and frank wants music born in the rose by indian reservation in rural south dakota out one uses music to call out historical wrongs and uplift indigenous youth many of

whom struggle from the impacts of poverty violence suicide and other intergenerational trauma so joining us now is frank here in the studio welcome to the stream frank hello it's an honor to be here it's really good to have you here so you know this past week our team and i have been. going to your music has been lovely homework to have and we came up with themes that we thought we found most prevalent in your work and that is history heritage and family that to us is what seems to be the driver behind your work for you what is it that drives your music i mean i think you guys kind of hit it on the head i try to improve approach my work from an indigenous standpoint and that's not to say i have all the answers like i grew up and i said the colony in my mind was socialized into you know the western way of looking at the world so as i get more in touch with my own culture and my own roots and try to uncover what they took from us i try to bring that out and i

work so very much at the core of it is love love for my people for the land for my family love for everything that we're supposed to live in balance with it's interesting to hear you say that a lot of people commenting on their colonialism and kind of the courage the creative courage in your lyrics specifically john little on twitter pointing out one song in particular called what makes the red man red saying my favorite line from his music is you inherited everything we died for and all we got is a damn mascot. since that person brought a song that you know i want to hear your answer on that and what you think of that i want to share our audience share with our audience what it sounds like so have a listen to this on sound cloud what made the red man red.

so you sampled disney's song from the animated feature the one thousand nine hundred three animated movie peter pan and turns it on its head so tell us about that so i produced my own music and i did that was the first time i ever actually sample all vinyl i found a record in children have been. and you use vinyl so in minneapolis for a dollar and i've always wanted to do something with that song just because disney has a pretty horrible history of stereotyping my people and it's there in the music and so i always look for creative ways to foot things like that on their head like and i just want to point out that song is full of racial slurs for indigenous people but it came off of a children's record and you know so i just by doing that alone it kind of shows you where we're at in this country as far as how we look at and treat indigenous people you have this line in there where you say what made you think the red man was dead or something paraphrasing you a little bit and i know you have a story where that actually happened to someone you know what is surprised yes so

it was my first week in a so i graduated from columbia college in chicago i got my bachelor of arts and audio arts in acoustics and the first week i was there i was living in a dorm room in a dorm building in downtown chicago and i got in the elevator in this go out on the elevator with me and she was non-native she commented on my hair she didn't get really pretty have you and i was like you know thank you and she didn't know what that meant and so i had to be more general and i was like i'm native american and she looked at me confused and she was like you guys are still alive you know and just think about that we got college educated adults living on stolen colonise land i think we don't even exist anywhere. i mean you know people are talking about the reservations you're saying you know people think we don't even exist anymore so much of your culture sadly for better or worse is out of sight and kind of out of mind a lot of people touching on the on line for example we have a man on twitter saying i currently reside in l.a. are obstacles when talking about you know he tweeted a single obstacles you face on the reservation other than deeply entrenched institutional racism imposed on the side of p.t.s.d.

he goes on and on and says there's so much hopelessness how do you change that sense of hopelessness into hope in your music or do you i think i think you know i've been thinking about that a lot because i grew up in a place where it was it can get hopeless and i think when you're survivors of a genocide were less than one percent of your people survived and you never been able to. you know there's going to be a lot like you say you know like colonial p.t.s.d. a lot of hopelessness so i think for me my work becomes a tool for me to practice hope is almost at montreaux almost like a daily practice you know you know you've got to keep practicing the hope on a daily basis otherwise it's easy to lose hope in that goal so i think my music gives me the tools of practice it in a day to day basis is what drew you to have pop in the first place the storytelling the drums the the truth speaking truth to power you know i think at its core hip-hop was created by a columnist people who were stolen away from their homeland stolen away from their culture and trying to recreate something that was taken from them so i think hip

hop at its core is coming from indigenous roots you know african folks who are indigenous people as well we all are colonized people so i think that's why as an indigenous person i resonate with it because it was created by colonized people and it's drawing from indigenous tradition that it's roots you know frank for as much as we all of hip hop and i think we all here do love hip hop but some people don't love hip hop but they still love you i mean the loves days saying on twitter i'm not a fan of hip hop but it's different with his music really great i love it too but i live so far to ever see him alive she goes on then to say when we ask what do you think is different about his music she said good question it might be because he talks about the realities that the government tried so hard to race it's important to keep talking and spread the word to those who do not know and you're doing it extremely well are you conscious of that that you're educating as much as you're entertaining you know in the beginning i wasn't because i was just you know one thing i was taught from elders and i community is that if you know something you do it without being asked and if you if you learn something you repeat it so others

can learn it and so i think you know i just was talking about those things because it's my life that histories and ingrained in my life indigenous people our lives are politicized whether we want it to be or not because our reality was influenced by us policy and still is today so i would be lying if i wasn't talking about the night. ality in my life you know so i just just started happening and then as i started putting out the music i realized there was a need to educate not on not only non-native well known people because we were cut off from the history as well i didn't know i was a came from a colonized nation until i was in my twenty's you know really. well in the spirit of education for and i know you're going to perform a new song for us it's called my people come from the land so as you get ready i wanted to share this video comment that came from nolan hoc talking kind of about what we just spoke of. wallet his music speaks to me because he is a compromising and his music is

a compromise and he tells the truth his music tells the truth and that i can identify with that as a black man because i look at something like this is america by donald glover and this is the same thing donald comes and goes hey this is what this is what this country's been doing to us the soul wall this is what this country is the tool to is right now franks laying it on a table the same way coming out with original coming out with well makes a red man red and say this is what this country has been going to native people one hundred years this is what this country is still doing to move. on from that and. people come from the. people come from the land on which to fight the white and still fight quite so

not every monday should indeed be able to stand closer on the rest i never. said that they might keep a steep triple up trouble would never to reach the council fires are so lame. it's even funny i must still see chunks of hole on the stump you've got take some on some of the subjects of sad traumas commie trek like you see santa and not just such a grant money system thing daffyd down they can take you down instead of buying. you system books to capital this makes the day and me to sit down all these they took away with some bits of code. on acela.

privileged here this is one person on twitter who says so happy to be watching this live stream bring wall and someone else on you tube watching live says i love this the history of native americans is so important and needs to be taught and retain that's on ass on facebook and it's interesting what she says the history needs to be taught it needs to be retained because your line of the song is my people come from the land and you talk about. historical tragedies of the white man but they're still ongoing to day do you think enough people understand. honestly i think and i think you know people's reactions to what is happening right now at the border is a great example of that if you understood this history from one of their colonial nations you understand this history. of this country has a deep history of separating indigenous children from their parents i mean the same thing happened to my great grandparents they were snatched up and taken to boarding school and so you know what's happening today is just

a continuation of one of the founding fathers this country is built on just just a policy that says because i know some people in our audience may not be familiar with boarding schools although some might think that sounds like a good thing but these were indoctrination. boarding schools in this country and this happened to my great grandparents they came into our homes under you know under orders of the u.s. government's nashoba all of our children from the us up to canada and. they took my great grandparents from home and i don't know what happened to them but i know that they never spoke our language again and never passed on any of our culture after that so i can't imagine you what you would have to do to a small child to make them stop speaking their language and i didn't even know my great grandparents were fluent in our language until they. after they were passed on and i was in my twenty's because they kept it that much of a secret they felt that the native was something to be ashamed of because these schools top all of our ancestors that in this country is built on the dehumanization of indigenous people you know in that in india boarding schools are

one of those tactics that used you know when you talk about the dehumanization whether it's native americans and you know language and land in these symbols your message is obviously resonating think twitter twitter saying is such an extraordinary musician talking about you of course his lyrics have the strength to render the overarching american culture speechless however i think creating music by native people for native people and presenting a positive native figure is more important to him and his music you smile as i kind of finish that tweet. i think is cool whatever my fans kind of you know because. the people who follow my work are usually hardcore fans because i don't you know there's not a lot of it's hard being an indigenous person and indigenous artists speaking about these things trying to make it in an entertainment system built in a colony built on the dehumanization of people you know be like saying well as a palestinian rapper talking about israel going to make it in an israeli record label are they going to get promoted in israel not really you know and it's the

same thing with us here it's hard to break through to the popular american culture as an indigenous artists speaking on these sorts of things so i smile because you know the people that follow me get in and i just smile because you know she had it right and i wanted to follow him from all over the world because you brought up palestine i just quickly want to bring their voice into this conversation because i know you recently took a trip there we also have palestinian fan on twitter saying i feel like parts of his lyrics can also be applied to the palestinian struggle people as someone who grew up in a country where i always got silenced when i talked about what horrors israel put palestinians through and you know she goes on on and. she really says that what stood out to her right here she says to know someone with a voice as powerful as this is addressing those same problems in the hardships and maybe trying bridges to her experience is really powerful to her what was the trip like to that trip was life changing it was a year ago i spent eleven days i want a group called dream defenders i went with

a delegation of artist and i was very grateful i was the only indigenous person but you know i was aware that their colonialism was happening out there but when i was actually in palestine for eleven days it was very i would say spiritually triggering because i saw almost sometimes almost like a lion for a lion what happened to my ancestors from like open air prison systems our reservations basically to setting the government setting up laws to make our lives a living hell in me because one of these and so you know i'm definitely going to write a song for palestine one day and the thing that just keeps coming to my head was i looked in the eyes of palestine and i saw my own reflection you know i saw the reflection of my people and what we went through and it really shook me to my core in a way i haven't found the words to describe but i know what's going to come out in the music. i love what you're saying there and it it explains why you've been called this take a look at my screen here pink wants to bridge is the sound of an indigenous generation rising frank warren has been making moves he's built a large and devoted audience that and he's been dubbed the bob marley of the luck

for the way that he envisioned its music as a force for love struggle healing and social change so that's one person there but i like that they're talking about the things that are in your music the love the struggle the healing in the social change i read an interview that you were about twenty one when you started this journey came into music and you did it because you said it was an act of survival so that seems to resonate throughout your lyrics talk to us about that feeling music is your means of survival yeah well you know growing up in the place where i grew up on the rosewood reservation. it was an easy place to grow up it's one of the poorest counties in this country and i was raised by a single mom and you know there are a lot of beautiful things that our culture and you know we're reviving our language and there's a lot of things our home i can't get anywhere else in the world because of colonialism and genocide there's a lot of things that can actually kill me too so you know whenever i'm talking

about. music as an act of survival it started when i was seven i started playing piano when i was seventeen and i've struggled with anxiety depression and suicide for most of my life and i think a lot of native people feel the same way even if we're not aware of it or don't talk about it and music at a certain point my life was the only thing that made me feel like i wanted to be alive you know so i think my spirit was just trying to trying to keep me alive and trying to keep me going to music was one of those things like you know people ask me why and i say it's like an itch i have to scratch i was born to make music i was born to do this i was born to see what you just see me do and my life would be a waste if i were fulfilling my purpose you know that kind of goes back to that teaching i said if you know something you do it without being asked and i know i'm born to make music and it took me a while to realize that i can do that because i didn't believe in myself i didn't have the tools i didn't have the resources and it was kind of like just pouring myself into the work out of survival led me to where i'm at and then people started following it before i knew i had a career going and it seems like frank more people are following you henrik on you

tube who's watching live said yes i am sold this is great thank you so much but we also have a more substantive comment from meghan thing frank you're an extremely proud lakota man have you ever personally struggled with american culture telling you to feel self-hatred or even ashamed of your culture i mean i don't think like explicitly no one's ever told me that but all you've got to do is look at the media and how i like the type of media i grew up with of portraying native people as things like disney's peter pan and you know it was whenever i saw it on the news it was really only poverty porn you know they would only come in and pick the negative stories and never talk about the history of why things are the way they are on a reservation. and never show the hopeful side it was just become this or native americans are lazy or alcoholic or drug addicts you know we're all the statistics so i think you know looking looking at the way the media has treated my people looking at historically the way this country and americans have cheated my people for over five hundred years they've been telling as a show shame about who you are and to be native actually. you know frank you

mentioned. your older generations. and i'll give our viewers a little bit of a fun fact trivia for this next album that's coming out he actually had to learn the language and used. to help you along with him right so i'm not fluent so i didn't grow up speaking my language because in my family it kind of went away with my great grandparents when they passed on so i feel like if i learn my language and use my my and my path and my art as the vehicle i can maybe hills some of those wounds my great grandma great grandpa i don't i don't know what they took to their grave you know but i know if i can help in any way bring our language back i can i can heal and i really believe that through our indigenous people anybody we have the ability to time travel you can hear past present future so you're going to get a little taste frank is going to play us out what the song in the language is called why don't we teach them for our audience who doesn't speak

budget deficit and propping up the troubled peso in an effort to reduce public spending mockery said he will have the number of government ministries also reversed one of his main policies by reinstating taxes on agricultural exports but i agree looking full though and the thought that if you don't cover what's missing during this transition that's become an emergency we'll ask those who have more capacity to contribute i'm referring to those who export in argentina that your contributions a great. deal of people who we have known in regard to our governing team have made the decision to reduce the number of ministries to list them half given the moment that's ahead of us i've decided to reduce my cabinet even more so we can give the upcoming agenda or a more focused response for these changes we're doing to our team and with the advances we're making that the i am in we begin to overcome the crisis while always always taking care of those who need it the most that is simple has more now.

well this have been tense days for most argentinian many of them are fearing the possibility of another crisis just like the one it happened back in two thousand and one when argentina defaulted on its sovereign debt and poverty rates were as high as sixty percent earlier this morning the government tried to relaunch a government in a way because they were the most difficult days since modi still mockery took office three years ago in his announcement the president spoke to the population explained what was being going on he also imposed once again export taxes on grains something that was already implemented back during the government of former president cristina fernandez de kirchner he also announced that he was reducing ministries among other measures there's lots of skepticism about what this is going to achieve devaluation has continued i mean for what we know right now the u.s. dollar continues to go up but nobody really knows what the consequences of the

local media reports suggest several people are missing police in brazil a fire tear gas upper testers outside the national museum that are strangers were demanding to see the damage caused by a massive fire which destroyed hundreds of years of history. the two hundred year old building in rio de janeiro held at twenty million items including some of the region's best preserved human fossils brazil's president has promised to rebuild the museum mexican president enrique pena nieto has delivered his final state of the union address once considered a savior but a new to last much of that shine while in office his presidency has been dogged by corruption scandals tens of thousands of people have attended an anti-racism concert in the german city of commits the event was staged in response to a week of anti immigration rallies by far right groups under the banner there are more of us the crowd carried anti racism placards and chant chanted nazis out

several rock and indie bands performed a number of those who attended far exceeded expectations german chancellor angela merkel has called on germans to mobilize against hate those were your headlines i'll have more news in half an hour coming up next slavery roots of i. this is the story of a world whose territories were forged by the slave trade a world where violence subjugation and profit imposed that roots the slave system created the greatest accumulation of wealth the world had ever seen up to that moment in time. in seven hundred ninety the slave trade was at

a climax more than one hundred thousand captives were deported every year. at the extremes of human domination even in slavery we find there is always resistance there is always tension and there's always struggle at the dawn of the nineteenth century slave traders violence brought about the decline of the transatlantic slave trade to become immoral europe now had to find an alternative means of accumulating wealth in the years following abolition european stretched the limits of slavery.

brazil bears the legacy of slavery final years. at the very moment the slave trade was banned a second wave of deportation struck rio de janeiro back. over two million slaves landed there during the one nine hundred centuries making rio the largest slave trade porn in the world. and people in brazil the ground for going to sound makes it very clear that brazil is. the second largest african country in the world the only country where as more people of african descent brazil is my jury. however in certain neighborhoods simply being young black and poor can get you shot down in the middle of the street. the real police have been carrying out regular

raids in the fabulous over the past decade on the pretext of ridding slums of crime these operations make brazil the world champion of police violence against the black population. i just said for us if it took you five. days did this issue walk if the guns you will. be able to. think there's a dummy out but my city cease located assault would be yes it was a superbly lodhi. one hundred thirty years after the abolition of slavery afro brazilians are still by far the country's poorest population second class citizens in

a world divided between blacks and whites. i think it's very important for people to realize that for eight hundred twenty for every european that traveled across the atlantic there were probably four africans. but i don't think anyone had any idea about the whole of the history of the americas is written in terms of european settlement. in the late eighteenth century africans and creole blacks constituted the overwhelming majority of the population in brazil venezuela and the caribbean. the omnipresence of africans in the society was depicted in watercolors by a french botanist during his day in rio. this massive presence of slaves harbored fears of conspiracy poisoning and murder among the white population.

don't some. day is left so nice on the last three years on our show michael sheehan want to show you some back to so measure it don't get yes it. may be easiest to meto someone who. on this black continent at the heart of the new world whites greatest fear was actually materializing and uprising of the entire slave population. became a powder keg. the island was ready to ignite and blow the entire slave system to pieces from the americas all the way to europe. forty five thousand new african captives landed every year on the coast of this french colony were slaves made up ninety percent of the population. following the seven hundred eighty nine revolution the freedom celebrated in the declaration of the rights of man rang out like a rallying cry for the newly arrived. he did not have the.

manhood to. somewhat but i want to suggest you eat. badly bill and sit it food i.e. . be told but don't elect them they will see not. like a tale whispered of nightfall the account of this first insurrection all night began with the horror of a cycle. it all started on the night of august twenty second seven. you know if you want when sleaze got a walk to listen to the incantations of a voodoo priestess and plan for insurrection although there is no evidence that this clandestine ceremony actually occurred the date nevertheless mark beyond wishing of the revolution. wiped out plantation system. god who created the earth. who created the sun that gives us light.

god who holds up the ocean. who makes the thunder wrong. god who has ears to hear you who are hidden in the clouds who watches spring where you are. you see all that the white has made us suffer the white man's god asks him to commit crimes but the god within us who wants to do good. our god who is so good so just for disaster to revenge our wrongs. is he who will direct our arms and bring us the victory it's he who will assist us we all should throw away the image of the white man's god who is so pitiless listen to the voice for liberty that speaks in all our hearts.

let's say we need to wait for the moment fade. do you need to assist a freak in the flu deal would do eighty plays on don't tell if it's that show and the system of colonialists clever as he's they don't say he would do is he would do it because of clue in the us on this is discovered. the liberation war would last twelve years. alongside george b.s.u. book month a former coach driver an air force want to son lead the charge earning the nickname to sound vet your capacity to breach enemy lines. these black jacobins crushed all the colonial armies inflicting the poland with his first military defeat. this images at the time when you saw it live it becomes master of the entire island and so this image i think condenses the fear that white people felt of black uprising there's

a man named simon taylor who is one of the richest planters in jamaica in the early nineteenth century and when he hears that the french are planning to retake the island of sound the man he says out of that are going to be able to do it. and the reason is the way of fighting wars is different in the west indies to what it is in europe and if tucson and the other chiefs decide to submit maybe they can take over the island again maybe they can retake the colony if they don't submit they'll burn the towns and retreat to the mountains and live as maroons and they'll wait for the french soldiers to die of disease this is in fact what happens with the clear expedition that tries to be takes on the man. that. no european nation managed to reconquer the island in one thousand for the first black republican history was born out of the ashes of sentiment in haiti with the slaves victory the word freedom resonated throughout the world and with it the fear

that the revolution would contaminate all the plantations. of the part of. them from the from. the from the from. the. the. it was the revolution made by slaves that had world historical consequences that slavery river lucian in send to maine destroyed the most productive colony in the in the world in a time when there's demographic growth and increasing demand for slave produce commodities half the world's production was withdrawn from the world market by the haitian revolution so not only is there expansion there's a huge hole in this horse sources of supply so that reconfigured the whole atlantic

economy. by the time europe woke up from the haitian trauma ten thousand white inhabitants had already fled the island. plantation owners quickly found new lands where they could apply their skills everywhere people wanted to capitalize on their knowledge of intensive farming sugar in cuba. cotton in the united states and coffee in brazil the freedom slaves had snatched in haiti had a paradoxical consequence it reinforce lavery all over the american continent. in rio's back country the party of a valley had for a long time been covered with impenetrable primary forests. today bare mountains are all that is left. trees were cleared in the early one nine hundred centuries to

give way to intensive coffee culture the new source of wealth. i stood for as the others event by about l.s.d. my visit a vamp. is at the flick gonna git to be made is it a. name. ls it. defies and this it just got out of was meant to happen that meet. some masters possessed up to one thousand slaves all applied a scientific organization of labor. rigorous accounts were kept every day.

and proper slave became the fundamental principle cutting plantation organization. everything was built around the coffee drying grounds the slaves had to go out in groups in the morning to plant or to pick and the big plantations they had slave quarters enclosed barracks with one entrance and so it looks like a car still situation was certainly hard to escape but the other reason is you could get the slaves up all that once in the morning and then as they marched out the gate you could give them their tools. though the space organizes the flow of labor. everything thing has a function so that you don't even have to watch the slaves because you know where they're supposed to be. so it's a kind of industrial production producing industrial raw materials for the

factories of britain and new mass consumption markets so there's a huge transformation of production which means for the slaves it's much more exploitative the output precisely for those up ten times an average in each of those crops from what i have been in the eighteenth century. five thousand six hundred miles from europe these men and women are the hidden face of the industrial revolution. the world was changing in the early nineteenth century europe was urbanised growing wealth of money flowed freely and london was more than ever the world's economic epicenter. in the british capital the new middle class flocked to the new

department stores forgetting that the cotton sundresses combs ivory and brothers and sweets they purchased with the fruits of slave labor. there's a disjunct between what's happening in the colonial societies and what's happening in the metropolitan societies and the metropolitan policy makers begin to disavow what's happening in the colonies in some ways and they stop recognising that kind of violence as their own violence slavery is the opposite of liberal freedom so britain as the barrier of freedom has to say slavery is wrong british abolition of the slave trade is the greatest justification say well we're really disinterested it's not for interest economic motives but for ideological motives we're for freedom.

businessmen look for more secure investments. investing in british spinning mills was indeed much less incriminating. there was no mosque the plan in setting up the global economy as we see it today there were just you know manufacturers in britain developing new machines these machines suddenly needed much more cock so they tried to buy this cotton somewhere they didn't really care where it came from but the place where they found it where they were able to buy huge quantities at ever had cheap prices this was in the americas and this was eventually in the united states. in this new industrial society the supply of raw materials was the key to success. from an economic perspective the world's leading financial power no longer needed the slave trade.

you need to know seven great britain resolve to abolish the transatlantic slave trade the thing that i think also needs to be said is that this was not simple altruism on the part of great britain in other words it wasn't simply the humanitarianism of the abolition movement it's that britain did not want other imperial rivals to have the benefit of slave labor when in fact they didn't. in eight hundred fifteen armed with its naval supremacy great britain impose the cessation of the slave trade on france and its other commercial rivals this decision taken by the leading european slave power gradually shut the north atlantic slave trade routes. however the same time to set off new deportations within slave countries by grouping together the slaves born on its soil the united states was also about to enter

a new era of slavery. a fairly small percentage of the people brought over to the americas in the slave trade actually came to north america probably three four five percent and yet by the time you get to one thousand nine hundred eight hundred twenty five eight hundred thirty a very large percentage of the a slave population is in the united states because of natural population growth so that is a very important part of the story thomas jefferson for example who advocated closing the slave trade did so at least in part because he knew that the slaves that he was going to sell from his plantations into the new plantation regions would become more and more of a. alya bull with the closing of the slave trade. the. cotton farming concentrated all of the country's slave labor along the banks of the mississippi. by foot or by boat sold or brought by their owners one million

slaves from new york baltimore washington and st louis were deported down south of . new orleans in natchez became massive slave markets. after brazil the united states became the new land of industrial slavery. most of the people were between fourteen and twenty two they were sold single e. and they were roughly of a bias to mation half men have women so if you think about that here young people taken out of their families out of their communities ship a thousand miles away to really a very exploitative place where they have to form their own communities and their own families from scratch because that all the cut nobody that they had in their

lives with such as it was was taken away. buying slaves of both sexes and inside a union so that they would breed. this was the only way for plantation owners to increase their slave livestock their reproductive capacity as the conception of children the bearing of children to term the raising of children has many meanings one of them. women's laws were included in the production system giving their masters full dominion over them. rape is a very common. one of the most important stories that we have is that of a young woman named celia celia lived in central missouri on a small farm and she was brought there at the age of fourteen and endured three years of rape sexual assault by her own or poor three children she eventually

kills her own are and is tried for murder there in central missouri and while she is ultimately convicted of murder and executed she's convicted because by law she's not permitted to assert self defense as an slaved woman but no one disputes that she was raped. to procure slaves brazil had to opt for another strategy perpetuating the slave trade but this time by illegal means. despite britain struggle to put an end to it the slave trade exploded in the southern hemisphere. within thirty five years over two point five million captives embarked from west africa to plantations all over the world. they were soon joined by four hundred thousand cap this on the eastern coast was main market was in zanzibar.

if you look from eight hundred fifteen to let's about around eight hundred fifty eight hundred fifty five. there were actually more slaves transported across the atlantic that it any equivalent time in the whole history of the slave trade at the time is supposed to be done. the indian ocean is one of the oldest commercial exchange zones in the world. africa and east have been trading there for over two thousand years. along these routes circulate ivory food products and clothes as well as african captives.

driven by western demand zanzibar became a strategic crossroads here in zanzibar one of the world's last lead trade ports was about to develop. zanzibar developed in the nineteenth century largely as a major center of trade. but also became the center of a large commercial empire the sultan of zanzibar controlled not only zines about but tried to control the whole cost line. by eight hundred sixty s. something like twenty thousand slaves what coming through it sounds about but of these slaves eight thousand six thousand may be. exported out. of struggles. or source. understand in terms of

a number of people found exceeded expectations there's a headline slim roots continues next. this is the story of a world whose territories were forged by the slave trade a world where violence subjugation and profit imposed their roots the slave system created the greatest accumulation of wealth the world had ever seen up to that moment to touch. it seven hundred ninety the slave trade was at

a climax more than one hundred thousand captives were deported every year. at the extremes of human domination even in slavery we find there is always resistance there is always tension and there's always struggle. zanzibar merchants captured their slaves on the continent. back then eighty percent of the slaves deported to zanzibar peasants who lived around lake malawi they still cultivated land there today.

every year now women reenact initiation rites inherited from their ancestors this ceremony was originally meant to prepare teenagers for future hardships. families fled their villages to escape from the slave traders violence. exile expose them to poverty starvation and disease. in the eyes of philanthropist from the greatest slave trading nations great britain and france others were now to blame for the cruelty of slavery. in zanzibar the others where they are. and then slavery became the criteria for creating a hierarchy the states of the americas including the united states were less than britain because they could live with slavery the brazilians the cubans were morally

corrupt because they weren't bothered by by coexisting with the evils of slavery so they were they were on a lower standard than the british africans were ruled out. the world map was redrawn to distinguish enlightened powers from half civilized countries barbarian kingdoms and savage lands. religions political regimes and degree of civilization make up a value system used to rank peoples around the world. with these standards slavery had become a backward practice unworthy of a civilised nation where lee fighting the slave trade no longer was enough slavery had to be eradicated. with this global surge of abolition and slavery an institution as old as humanity began to shrink. the movement was launched by the former spanish colonies when came the british colonies.

called by the french and finally the dutch. way with the victory of the abolitionists slavery became a thorny problem for the united states. how could they renounce slavery when the american economy was run by southern plantation owners. this wealthy elite often considered itself as heir to the greco roman civilization which legitimated slavery many claim the connection staging it in the architecture and interior decoration of their homes for them slavery was a mainstay of the social order. one of the men who served as a slave ship captain and actually probably the best known slave ship captain from that history is john newton the man who wrote the famous him amazing grace he said

that watching human beings treated as they were in this system slavery had the effect of hardening the human heart of eradicating sympathy and newton says the violence is learned the violence is learned within the slave trade it's not the moral failing of an individual that's at issue here it's a requirement of the job. the clash between those who considered slavery has a necessary evil and those who experienced it as a retrograde practice resulted in a devastating civil war in one thousand nine hundred eighty one the united states burst into flames nearly two hundred thousand afro americans enrolled in the union army. for african-americans

the war is a war for abolition from the start be they enslaved people who watch who wait who take their opportunities at every chance during the war to further the union's interest or free african-americans a half million of them in the north many of whom will raise troops volunteer themselves for the union forces raise money and care for black soldiers when the union army fails to do so. ha. that's. neat hundred sixty five after four years of destructive warfare united states declared the abolition of slavery. at last they could claim

their place among the most unlikely nations of the world. so workers gain their freedom but this freedom is very very limited and it's especially limited economically and of course then that reconstituted state governments of the american south they are deeply repressive and they are deeply interested in fixing workers to places not allowing them to work in other sectors of the economy. freedom but nothing else.

in the united states as well as in france or jamaica laws forbidding the equal treatment of freed slaves were promulgated. they were denied their rights to vote. at the fence and freedom of movement. those who protested or killed those who refused to work were incarcerated and sentenced to forced labor. accounts by former slaves recorded in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and kept in the library of congress. aged sixteen and eight hundred sixty five fountain hughes recalled his first days as a free man. when he found out that we were free what any. two different people. run away. stanwell could you know. what you. want to make already know. here.

they are now i couldn't. cross a street. race attached the former slave to a specific territory legally confining him to ghettos without any hope of getting out. former slaves were from then on subjugated by virtue of their skin color. the violence of any white person against the body of any black person was permitted by law. with emancipation in the united states in eight hundred sixty five with the end of the civil war four million cotton growers in slave cotton growers when their freedom europeans by the eight hundred six thousand eight hundred seventy is try to find ways to secure a carton and one of the places they begin to look at is the continent of africa

which has a very long history of cotton agriculture eight hundred seventy three the abolition of the slave trade and slavery and unexpected repercussions in africa block on the coast to survive population continue to grow their emancipation give europeans a justification for sending their armies the belgians then the french satellite western coast the british followed in nigeria and on the eastern coast all in the name of progress and the good of humanity. about the elders was about a quandary. no. d.v.d. look post issues dilute control a thread going to zip ask a look at. wherever great britain intervened and apply pressure to put an end to the selling of slaves

. in one thousand nine hundred three in negotiating the abolition of the slave trade with the sultan of zanzibar. this is in some ways ironic that the british mean to abolish slavery and slave trade but by doing it it really forced people to say well if we can't export slaves we will use the slaves within to produce things that we can export. spurred on by these grand moral principles dozens of europeans went off in search of adventure ready to invest in the raw materials that europe needed. the missionary dr david livingstone became the figurehead for abolitionist explores.

the people who supported these missions what businesspeople people who had money so they probably had some idea of why the interested is not just interested in finding the stock kept mountains of africa but way to come to missionaries living standard was actually quite clear he knew or what the capitalists what interested in. the missionary organization he told them that this is philanthropy last five percent the debt is an interest for you as businessmen and he said quite openly philanthropy joined us to fight against slavery abolish slavery because that is an interest for you you would produce cloth to sell to the people. some explorers made the most of local merchants advice and logistical support among

the latter was. one of the most important slave traders in western africa he controlled an immense territory along lake tanganyika. thanks to. andrew morton stanley went up the congo river and chorus traditional village chiefs into signing contracts that stripped them of millions of acres of land for the benefit of the belgian king leopold the second. penry stanley landed the bug and penetrated deep into africa on the way he rechristened the cities of kissing danny in kinshasa with his own name he was soon joined by french british and german explorers who entered africa from the west these expeditions marked the transition from evangelizing missions to european imperialism depicted as a young boy began to trade along that central groat indoor event the congo he traded over a large area and was the most powerful figure there because

also head is all and almost wasn't allowed me. although neglected. house tells us much about the fortune this great merchant a mask. in his autobiography recounted his negotiations with stanley in the belgian diplomats. stonily arrived with a dozen europeans we met at the councils and he told me. we wish you to accept to become governor in the name of belgium and that your voice the belgium flag and the districts that are under your rule. i hosted one it's time before as when i arrived on my men did the same wherever we came. former slaves were enlisted in the conquering armies. weapons in hand the french the belgian and the british went deeper and deeper into the equitorial forest.

europeans placed peasant communities under military control and forced them to produce palm oil rubber cocoa coffee and of course cotton. on these farms nothing distinguished former slaves from expropriated farmers. and outs of small change in a few ounces of salt were enough for europeans to claim they were progressive. former slave trade routes became the routes of forced labor. if they use it they can do lizzie well put the gate with a value falsie deuce. god knows it of i made it by plays it when you discover where they lived all. all their lives. only be a place and them up wanted to avoid you to the theatre unique you do this with.

a stray bullet in an innocent girl loses hand. in funny is used to feel like giving us your live your last like don't get me bay city report i will probably put it up in your opinion did she really sit across the bill at what i've seen yet was awfully good when i would link could get was up for game pretty fair accept a lot supreme us a little bit and pull it fair accept the lie misuse d.v.d. that these good little. book only get on a flick. with it strobes of doctors and i don't miss the colonial administrators race was used by europe as a scientific tool to justify its domination africa became a homogeneous entity relegated to the very bottom of the human scale race in the struggle against slavery as principles for the two pillars of colonisation.

the continuation of racial hierarchy is often emancipation is not remotely surprising. because it was all there in the ways in which the abolitionists thought the numbers of abolitionists who truly had a conception of african culture african men and women as in any way equal to them was relatively small. even the most egalitarian of the abolitionists assume that you know british culture is civilized evolved at cetera et cetera i mean that's part of the that's part of our understanding. once they had progressed deep into the continent the europeans built railways from the interior to the coasts. at the end of the lines the capitals of the new

colonies group the car lagos'. one block or two on the cape town doris all the cotton palm oil rubber cocoa and ivory were transported to these ports then shipped all over the world. i mean i'm not going to. get into that. at the time colonial conquest african political powers with whom the europeans have been trading for five centuries but deprived of all the rights.

indirect victims of the great empires lost for expansion. historians today are still trying to evaluate the demographic economic political and social consequences of this human tragedy unparalleled in scale to disdain. i think will truly be making progress when we all accept the history of slavery as all of our history so this tree of slavery is not black history and it's not just a history of white colonization but the history of human equality is the legacy for all of us and it's a legacy we all must contend with right not a white person only thinking about themselves as the descending of a slave holder but the white person thinking of themselves the descent of a slave to write the black person the you themselves a sense of slaveholders way of thinking that we've inherited the basic structures of these societies right these basic inequalities but what we do with that is up to us that can really help us move forward as

we certainly were in argentina with the president has announced a new emergency measures aimed at balancing next year's budget deficit and propping up the troubled peso in an effort to reduce public spending merissa mockery said he will hov the number of government ministries also reversed one of his main policies by reinstating taxes on agricultural exports well the cuts come as mockery negotiates the terms of a fifty billion dollar relief package from the international monetary fund. to cover what's missing during this transition that's become an emergency we'll ask those who have more capacity to contribute i'm referring to those who export in argentina that your contributions a greater. people who are in regard to our governing team i've made the decision to reduce the number of ministries to list and given the moment that's ahead of us i've decided to reduce my cabinet even more so we can give the upcoming agenda are more focused response for these changes we're doing to our team and with the

advances we're making with the i.m.f. we begin to overcome the crisis while always always taking care of those who need it the most. well the argentine peso took another day upon monday despite the government's promise to accelerate its austerity program and that's led some to criticize. i've never believed in him every time he comes out with a speech we end up worse off at least in economic terms every time he talks things get worse the stock exchange goes crazy and people despair because they don't know what to do. neither is there a credible opposition that gives you some hope so this also creates desperation. isabeau sent us this update for windows. well this have been tense days for most argentinians many of them are fearing the possibility of another crisis just like the one it happened back in two thousand and one when argentina defaulted on its solving debt and poverty rates were as high as sixty percent earlier this morning

the government tried to relaunch a government you know waste because they were the most difficult days since nobody took office three years ago in his announcement the president spoke to the population explained what was being going on he also imposed once again export taxes on grains something that was already implemented back during the government of former president cristina fernandez the cashier he also announced that he was reducing ministries among other measures there's lots of skepticism about what this is going to achieve devaluation has continued i mean for what we know right now the u.s. dollar continues to go up but nobody really knows what the consequences of the markets and allison's will actually be in the economy well there is a bow there mentioned argentina's former president christina cares there was she has now appeared in court for

a second time as part of the country's largest corruption case there is being investigated for allegations that she accepted bribes during her presidency last month police carried out raids on two of her properties and the gornja and an apartment as she. denies any wrongdoing and as the scribe of the investigation as shameless she's immune from imprisonment but not prosecution. police in brazil have fired tear gas at protesters outside the national museum the demonstrators were demanding to see the damage caused by a massive fire which destroyed hundreds of years of history the two hundred year old building in there there's an arrow held about twenty million items including some of the region's best preserved human fossils brazil's president has promised to rebuild the museum a latin america editor has seen newman has more. only spoken ruin or left of what was brazil's pride and joy the largest anthropological in history collection in the

americas. museum of the story and regina dundas could not be consoled but as bill it seems like a night i went to sleep thinking it was a nightmare that i was going to wake up from it was the fire started on sunday evening after the building a nineteenth century former royal palace closed fortunately there were no casualties but brazilians are mourning the loss of a new replaceable wealth of their history we'll be you. i just saw a piece of my history the house of the empire where the second of brazil used to live on fire being destroyed i see the history of my country becoming ashes it has no price i'm devastated. this is what the museum looked like before the fire with war than twenty million items from egyptian and greco roman times to a twelve thousand year old skeleton the oldest ever found in the americas.

during the process of the aftermath we're going to have the participation of the museum employees it will be a slow process so that we can who knows recover a fragment of something that could still have a historic value. a museum curator was allowed to salvage meteorites that could later have been confused with debris. the cause of the fire is still unknown but many are pointing the finger at sharp government budget cuts and say this is a tragedy the could have been prevented residents say firemen were too ill equipped to contain the blaze before it engulfed the entire palace. hundreds of angry real residents converge in front of the remains of the museum shouting out with ten or the president and our culture is not a commodity president michelle tenner has ordered to museum be rebuilt as soon as possible knowing nevertheless as do all brazilians that what has been lost can never be recovered to see in human al-jazeera. a court in brazil has banned

political campaign ads showing the former president of the silver as a candid it the ruling was made in response to a complaint by the novel party that lula has been barred from running in next month's presidential race because of a corruption conviction the seventy two year old a serving a twelve year prison sentence for money laundering but brazil's workers' party says he will remain it's candid it has been international condemnation of the myanmar court's decision to jail to reuters journalists while long and child were found guilty of possessing state secrets and sentenced to seven years in prison they were arrested in the center as they investigated a mass killing of revenge of muslims by myanmar soldiers when hate reports. instead of walking free while lone inch or so who were taken from court and back to prison throughout this ordeal the reuters journalists had remained defiant and positive

and that continued even after hearing they'd been sentenced to seven years in jail no no no this is directly challenging the democracy and media freedom of our country we will calmly face the situation with our best efforts in the appeal since we do not do anything we have no fear we are going to do our best to face it was the verdict was widely condemned reuters says it will not give up and is considering what steps to take next today is a sad day for me and maher reuters journalists wallowing in charge so who and the press everywhere these two admirable reporters have already spent more than eight months in prison on false charges designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press. the journalists were arrested in december last year as they were investigating an arbitrary execution of ten reading in men by soldiers and militia the prosecution's case centered on secret documents the reuters writer's head at the time of their arrest but while lone inch or so to say they were framed testifying that those papers were given to them by the police who moments later

arrested them it seems that in doing their job they had gone too far in the minds of the military that still the most powerful force in myanmar was being unfairly accused we have been convicted of breaching the official secrets act we performed according to media ethics we didn't do anything harmful towards our nation and we didn't commit any crime however they decided to convict us anyway. the verdict will heat more international pressure on me and miles leader aung sun suu kyi once a campaigner for freedom of speech and human rights she remained largely silent throughout the trial her government now has the ability to issue pardons for while alone and sure so rude to journalists imprisoned for investigating a crime signaling the end of media freedom in myanmar wayne hay al jazeera bangkok well charles trendall is the managing director of this channel he called for the journalists to be released immediately. so firstly i think it's

a travesty of justice and it's a shameful attack on media freedom we stand by our reuters journalist colleagues and can condemning it and we call for the immediate and unconditional release we ourselves as al jazeera know something about this sort of attack on our media we've had journalists ourselves imprisoned we've had three of our journalists imprisoned for over four hundred days we launched an international campaign to to. to put it out there and to basically say that journalism isn't a crime they were eventually pardoned and released after four hundred days but there are still a journalist in prison in egypt from our sister channel al jazeera arabic who's been in prison detained for over six hundred days without formal charge got a lot of publicized we had presidents we had politicians we had international human rights organizations n.g.o.s press freedom campaign activists and organizations and

other journalists as well including colleagues from reuters who who joined us from the campaign to free al-jazeera staff and under the slogan journalism is not a crime you can't lock up people to conceal and cover whatever nefarious actions you're doing you know you can't put john this behind bars an egyptian court has renewed the detention of a former diplomat who called for protests in tahrir square against president of the c.c. a sort of zork was arrested on this twenty fourth and is the taint on charges of inciting demonstrations it also called for a referendum drop egyptian president was reelected earlier this year in a vote in which all serious competitors were arrested or pressured into withdrawing . two malaysian muslim women convicted of being in a lesbian relationship have been kicking the in public they were struck six times

in a room full of onlookers including a square state such public punishments are rare in malaysia and the sentence has been criticized by lawmakers and rights activists as a form of torture. china's president has offered african countries a huge funding boost and rejected claims that it's locking some african economies into a so-called that trap china has been africa's biggest investor for some years now a new round of funding was announced that a major summit with african leaders in beijing adam brown reports now from china's capital. the flags of almost every african nation on display in the great hall of the people flags from a continent which china is consolidating its economic influence president xi jinping pledge sixty billion dollars more in funding for africa that's on top of the same amount he promised three years ago he said a quarter of that would be interest free

a way to possibly address critics who warn africa is at risk from a chinese debt trap. we do not interfere in the internal affairs of african countries impose our will on african countries or attach any political conditions are economic aid nor do we seek selfish political gain. cheese forty minute address brought a standing ovation this is a forum that will be free of public disagreement threats all goading tweets just smiling faces and apparent gratitude only one nation didn't receive an invitation to attend this forum swazi land now officially known as the kingdom of ace where teenie it remains the only african ally that taiwan has that's the island republic the china regards as part of its territory in africa today it's hard to find a country not touched by chinese investment since two thousand the continent's been

the view that a newcomer on your list is taking hold in africa as our detractors would have us believe a display of africa china unity but it would seem very much on china's to adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. spanish media says the government has decided the council an order of four hundred precision bombs the saudi arabia the fence minister margaret that all bliss is reported to be returning the ten point seven million dollars paid by saudi arabia for the military equipment in april she signed a deal to supply the royal saudi naval forces with military vessels. coming up on this news hour donor countries pledged more than two billion dollars to help those in urgent need of aid in the lake chad the region plus. thousands turn out for an anti-racism concert in the eastern german city that's been rocked by fall unrest and then sports one of the world's biggest names is

missing for best men's player nominees list but he and i will have the details in sport. the u.s. president has again taken aim at his attorney general jeff sessions blaming him for charges against two congressman california's duncan hunter and new york's chris coleman's were indicted within two weeks of each other on unrelated charges the president tweeted good job jeff claiming the indictments jeopardized republican chances in the upcoming midterm elections well speaking of the midterms it's labor day monday in the u.s. that's the unofficial start of campaigning for the midterm elections and what's being dubbed the pink wave a record number of women are running for political office this year the majority of them against president trump's republican party voters will go to the polls in the

vendor to the side which political party controls congress for the next two years kimberly halkett is in michigan at the state fair so you've been talking to quite a few voters there what's motivating voters female and male in this campaign. well there's no question that there are a lot of issues that will be driving the american voter to the poll here in michigan it is really hard to see what that defining single issue is but as you pointed out donald trump has been promising a red way republicans pick up seats in the u.s. congress for democrats they say will be a blue way but as. you mentioned it is the pink way or women becoming more engaged in politics that will certainly be a force in november. at the michigan state fair women have plenty to say about u.s. president donald trump powerful disappointing dangerous different.

in november americans will vote to choose a new u.s. congress decide whether or not trump's republican party maintains control and since women tend to show up in greater numbers at the polls than men the president will need their support labor day monday is the unofficial start of a surge in campaigning from here in the u.s. state of michigan to all across the country politicians are running on and again donald trump's record and many of them are women they are record number of women are running part of a so-called pink way. we always thought it was possible clue democrat alexandria ocasio cortez who ousted a long time congressman to win a new york primary he said we were going to fight the ill hunt omar and rashida to lead both democrats will not only make history as the first muslim women in

congress but will undoubtedly be part of an effort to push back against the troubled ministration in michigan's eleventh district two female first time candidates are running against each other it reflects a trend that's been going on for years but one analyst argues trops victory over hillary clinton the first female candidate for president was a big reason for the surge there is this a long time sense that president trump has not cared about women has not spoken to women has denigrated woman said really horrific things about women. history is not on trump. side generally the president's party loses seats in midterm elections that means if democrats take control of congress in november women could play an even bigger role in determining trump's future. so it's very important to obviously for women in the kimberley but just tell us

a little bit more about how much is at stake in these elections. well there's no question barbara that this is going to be a pivotal election and the future of the trump presidency will largely be determined by which party controls the house moving forward i want to bring in one of our guests her name is vile economic she's from the detroit metro times here in the u.s. state of michigan and violet talk to me a little bit about how important demographics are when we talk about control of the house of representatives which essentially are both democrats control the house that could be very very damaging for the president right going into this election we certainly are looking at demographics democrat democrats are going to have to be very strategic in what seats they try to take so they have to flip at least twenty four republican seats and therefore they're going to be going to middle of the road areas where they think that they can turn some light trumpy and voters so

suburbanites who might be better educated off in their white these are the types of people that democrats are going to try to appeal to as they try to take one of these legislative bodies and if that is to happen let's talk a little bit about what's motivating those voters for example donald trump has tweeted about his attorney general today jeff sessions he certainly for lack of a better term thrown jeff sessions under the bus before but it seems to be getting louder and the lack of loyalty seems to be registering more and more but is it registering for the ordinary voter right and not really i mean here in middle america voters aren't really following the constant commentary the question of her commentary coming out of trump's twitter feed it's a day lose of news that you just can't really keep up with and this case this comment about jeff sessions looking the other not looking the other way on a couple potential potential criminal wrongdoing by a couple of his allies i mean that suggests that trump wants something unethical to

happen but how much that's registering with voters is unclear. they're focused on kitchen table issues you know the economy they're willing trump supporters are willing to look the other way on things like this we've seen it time and time again he fired komi he's discredited moller trump supporters want to hear what he'll do for the economy and they trust that he'll keep the country safe against some a more fist threat so is there the sense then that even trump supporters in many ways don't like the president but their focus on the larger goals it certainly seems like at oftentimes they will look the other way now his his most loyal base i mean they will they will defend what he just said about attorney general sessions but otherwise they seem to look the other way now talk to me a little bit about what will happen moving forward if democrats are to take control of congress because historically the pendulum swings doesn't it right it does there's only been two times in the past hundred years where the ruling party in the presidency has actually picked up seats in either the house or senate here trump is

not only up against history he's up against syria's disapproval i mean if depending on what poll you look at between fifty three percent and sixty percent of americans do not approve of the job he's doing in this election will ultimately be a referendum on his performance right violate he can know about we appreciate you talking to us here on al-jazeera and barbara certainly back elated that if democrats do control the house of representatives after november there could be impeachment proceedings that could move forward and that would certainly be very damaging for president donald trump but of course that all comes down to the voters in the decisions of what will happen and there are still many weeks before that happens of course we'll be covering all of that in the lead up to the midterm elections in november here on al jazeera it's going to be a very interesting election campaign to say the least can really help here with the latest from michigan kimberly thank you. tens of thousands of people have attended an anti-racism concert in the german city of commits the event was in response to

a week of anti immigration rallies by far right groups under the banner there are more of us the crowd carried anti-racism placards and chanted nazis out several rockin indie bands performed the chancellor angela merkel has called on germans to mobilize against hate and the number attending the concert far exceeded expectations i think internationally just that we are not a far right city the majority of the population is totally normal democratically civilized but not far right for god's sake we don't want that history we don't want such people absolutely again guy this is absolutely fantastic because after people come that we have to show that our city is colorful is open to everyone that we have no sympathy for what happened in recent days in fashion and so if it's clear that i think it's cool that so many people said we'll come here to support him. well andrus on the force is a senior fellow at the center for analysis of the radical right and he joins us

live now via skype from boston sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera as you will have heard today are a lot more people than expected actually attended this concert of people i guess turned out in heated angular merkel's call to stand up against hate but what impact do you think that actually has on the radical right in germany if any but i think it's important to point out that there is some kind of a serious so credible counter initiative from people who understand that this situation in germany and express has come to a tipping point. i mean you mention the tipping point the timing is quite poignant because it's about three years. almost three years to the day since the young boy the three year old alan curdie was found dead on the beach in turkey and that was

the picture that had a huge impact around the world and many would say changed policy in europe i mean looking back at the sri years would you date it from then from angola merkel allowing a lot of migrants in or do you think the seeds where there in germany anyway for this kind of showing of the far right. i think there are many different things coming together where the so-called refugee crisis only is one factor but one thing that the far right of germany has been able to. mobilize it along frustrate among the population of eastern germany and we see these kinds of frustrations across the european post communist space with other words with all in all the countries of the former eastern bloc and these frustrate sions that maybe these systematic change that occurred thirty years ago did not lead to the expected. improvements in life curious or in situations that if you don't if the reorients which was the west and

so on this is these are sentiments that the far right in germany could play upon and where the refugee crisis only was the and the the point where that the far right could use as a tool in order to mobilize the masses vote all nine and of by well the far right said he has been using at the end he immigration sentiment because since those demonstrations in commits in the past week or so the a.f.p. actually saw its approval rating go up by two percentage points taking it very close to the second biggest party in germany so having around the sixteen percent which again is similar to sell finis party in italy again no more than sixteen seventeen percent how much it does it depend on the fact that these countries have a lot of relatively small parties that perhaps these far right parties in the padding of this proportionate say in politics you know this is of course also one very important factor i mean if we compare it to papa systems that have two parties

the amount of smaller parties separates about a diversity across the electorate and also when what happens in many european countries certain key issues and concerns of the electorates not are addressed there is an leeway for fun. right parties to occupy that space and use it for populist performances and using the sentiments and frustrations of the people in order to address a longstanding longstanding sense of diffuse on east. sorry less what do you think angela merkel could or should do now well i think. it's not so much about angela merkel because everybody in germany knows that her political time is going to run up very soon. it is more about what's kind of the scene for the future of germany can i get a merkel help to convey to the next generation of politicians and in that sense.

it's these small signs that we can see now with this phone surge and the and demonstrations that i'm not turning as violent protests as the far right but the raising awareness among the germans that this has to finish and this needs to stop the r.f.d. and piggy the and other right the movements in germany are collaborating in order to to to concert and attack against the german constitution went one that sent sentiment as a right in the german mainstream i think that is the most important thing backing up of right now so it's not so much about the leadership question in german politics as as to what a vision of germany there is for the future and dress on a force senior fellow at the center for analysis of the radical right sir thank you for sharing your things with us thank you so much. lots more to come in this news hour including you may have lost his shine but mexico's outgoing president remains the fi and as he delivers his final state of the union address why the u.k.'s labor

party is tearing itself apart over the issue of anti semitism and the former england captain decides to call it quits tianna will explain sport. hello there we're going to huge swirling mass of cloud over parts of europe that's giving us some very violent thunderstorms you can see them on the satellite picture across this region here and it's possible and hungary where we've got the worst of the weather at the moment plenty more thunderstorms here as we head through the day on tuesday and then gradually on wednesday that will begin to pull away towards the east and then we'll see the line of thunderstorms stretch all the way down into the northern portions of greece there towards the west generally a bit quieter for many of us here and towards the northwest still cooler with a top temperature in london of around nineteen degrees now for the other side of

the mediterranean largely fine and dry for most of us here but still quite hope force in tunis we're about thirty eight degrees there on tuesday and on wednesday still very very high not quite as high for jews here we're getting to around thirty one towards the east hot force in cairo as well put around thirty seven is the central belt of africa there where we have the majority of the showers at the moment and that's what you'd expect at this time of year they gradually rumble their way towards the west because some particularly heavy rain over the west coast of africa here it does look pretty wet at times some of those showers will be banding together to give some more prolonged outbreaks of rain and further north we'll have just a handful of showers there over parts of nature and into mali. september on al-jazeera the fourth eastern economic forum is to be held in the city of le divorce stock as russia looks to expand its influence in the asia pacific region on

welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera argentina's president has announced emergency plans to tackle his country's economic crisis including hardening the number of government ministries there being protests outside brazil's national museum in rio de janeiro which was devastated by a massive fire the fire has been blamed on funding cuts and there's been international condemnation after a court in myanmar sentenced to avoid journalist to seven years in prison for possessing state secrets while loan and. arrested as the investigator to mass killing of britain jim was a mexican president in big open and yet there has delivered his final state of the union address once considered

a savior and yet has lost much of the shine while in office his presidency has been dogged by corruption scandals some of which involved him and his wife. i am aware that we did manage to bring peace and security for mexico if we can. john homan joins us live now from mexico city we heard there what he said about violence in mexico what would you say the overall tone of the speech was. as you say barbara he was talking about violence a certainly hasn't managed to do that record levels of violence in mexico at the end of his administration but rather than focus over there were lots of glossy videos in the tone of the speech was really about his of ministrations achievement the reforms the increase in jobs that sort of thing so i'm here right now with marco fernandez who's an anti corruption expert with the mets can take

a university mark are you listening to the speech what did you make of what was said and maybe what was said i think that it was the last that them of the president can be that mexican public that his legacy has been the transformation of the mexican economy through a serious of a structural reforms however i think that it is very telling that in he's this day meant there was no space basically for self-criticism and to set the main challenges of of of his legacy corruption and crime. but of course we're talking about someone who's got a less than twenty percent approval rating so it's clear can publicly feels that there are some problems now we're going to see in the send someone else tape our president elect and raise money or lopez obrador what challenges does he have coming up leftover from this administration and how would you like him to see fix those challenges. that in order in order for him to all or the mandate that he research he received in the polls he knew he will need to tackle these problems of

violence and corruption and in order to do so i mean the big problem of mexico is how do you make professional the civil service of the institutions precisely in charge of you in forcing the rule of law in the country that will take time it will take money it will take to select people in a married based system and to get rid of the king and the least it a way of trying to locate the public sorry but i hope that the new president understands that that in order to move mexico in the right direction it is not only required to be a good person but you need to require that professionalization of the mexican institutions in charge of the rule of law thank you very much for that we've yet to see it be in december when the president elect andres manuel lopez obrador takes the reins of power there are some worries about him coming from civil society

groups that he has suggested that he personally is the president will be the answer to corruption and things like that purely by setting an example of honesty himself so we'll have to see what changes he brings in to try and combat corruption to combat impunity violence in the country to home over the latest from mexico city. one out of every eighteen migrants who tried to cross the mediterranean this year has died that's according to a report from the un refugee agency while the number of crossings as fallen people smugglers are taking greater risks making the voyage more deadly than ever victoria gate in the reports these images of three year old alan could ease body shocked people around the world it was a reminder of the human cost of the syrian war and the refugee crisis. three years on the dangers faced by other refugees trying to get to europe have increased

lawrence leave reports. who is jeremy colby is he as his firm and supporters believe the most moral politician in generations a man who spent his entire life campaigning for political justice for palestine or receive equally fervent opponents allege a close it racist and anti semites who says there's a difference between criticizing israel and criticizing jews but the lines between the two. there's always been a split in the labor party on israel with one wing supportive of the palestinian struggle and another wing including many jewish labor party members who actively accept and support the existence of the state of israel but never before has that split come to the surface like this because never before has there been a labor party leader so obviously pro palestinian. at the heart of it is labour's refusal to accept several examples of anti semitic language and views as defined by

the international holocaust remembrance alliance or i h r a it is deemed for example anti semitic to say that jews are more loyal to israel than their own country or that the state of israel is by definition racist or that israeli government policies are like those of nazi germany corbin and his supporters claim this prevents them from properly criticizing israel's actions towards the palestinian people. a whole raft of labor party heavyweights like former prime minister gordon brown have demanded the party clarify properly its position by falling into line with the i.h.r. a at a time when the ruling conservative party is in the whole of the brics states labor is tearing itself apart labor almost isn't functioning as a coherent political entity at the moment within it it's not so much sort of you know moderates versus corporate knights really what you see is a sort of warring fiefdoms so in quite some more there's the right wing against coburn there's a centrist against coburn there's even the left against kobe and there are

divisions within the leader's office their influences from different parts of youth movements and trade unions things all very chaotic the other question is the effect it has on colvin's reputation the may only be three hundred thousand jewish people in the u.k. but repeat suggestions that a veteran and she races may himself have a problem carry significant electoral risk liberal leaning voters labor supporting voters who think they're in a party or supporting a party which is on to. i think they all themselves i'm too racist to be supporting a party which appears to be always. labor's national executive is under enormous pressure finally to change its policy though so angry is the move from the left wing but it isn't a full inclusion of labor remains a policy membership of the leader of his politicians a deeply divided on. long. hours see how one driver flipped over to. the way watch.

back renegotiate the terms of a fifty billion dollar relief package for the international monetary fund but agree look a full go on because. to cover what's missing during this transition that's become an emergency will ask those who have more capacity to contribute i'm referring to those who export in argentina that your contributions are greater. people who we have known in regard to our governing team i've made the decision to reduce the number of ministries to list them half given the moment that's ahead of us i've decided to reduce my cabinet even more so we can give the upcoming agenda or a more focused response for these changes we're doing to our team and with the advances we're making with the i.m.f. we begin to overcome the crisis while always always taking care of those who need it the most well the argentine peso took another dip on monday despite the government's promise to accelerated still stay with the program that's led some to criticize plan. i've never believed in him and every time he comes out with

a speech we end up worse off at least in economic terms every time he talks things get worse the stock exchange goes crazy and people despair because they don't know what to do. neither is there a credible opposition that gives you some hope so this also now creates a new desperation. there is a both sent us this update a short while ago from one of this well this have been tense days for most argentinians many of them are fearing the possibility of another crisis just like the one it happened back in two thousand and one when argentina defaulted on its sovereign debt and poverty rates were as high as sixty percent earlier this morning the government tried to relaunch government in a way because they were the most difficult days since nobody took office three years ago in his announcement the president spoke to the population explains what's been going on he also imposed once again export taxes on grains something that was

already implemented back during the government of former president cristina fernandez de kirchner he also announced that he was reducing ministries among other measures there's lots of skepticism about what this is going to achieve devaluation has continued i mean for what we know right now the u.s. dollar continues to go up but nobody really knows what the consequences of the markets and allison's will actually be in the economy. well meanwhile argentina's former president cristina care share has appeared in court for a second time as part of the country's largest corruption case there is being investigated for allegations that she accepted bribes during her presidency last month police carried out raids on two over properties in patagonia and an apartment that she owns and went as itis there denies any wrongdoing and as described the investigation as shameless she is immune from imprisonment but not prosecution.

thanks police in brazil have fired tear gas at protesters outside the national museum. then strangers were demanding to see the damage caused by a massive fire was destroyed hundreds of years of history the two hundred year old building in near the janeiro had twenty million eiffel's including some of the region's best preserved human fossils brazil's president has promised to rebuild the museum alas america editor lucien newman has. only spoken ruin or left of what was brazil's pride and joy the largest anthropological in history collection in the americas. museum of the story and regina done to us could not be consoled but us bills are still it seems like a night i went to sleep thinking it was

a nightmare that i was going to wake up from it was the fire started on sunday evening after the building a nineteenth century former royal palace closed fortunately there were no casualties but brazilians are mourning the loss of a new replaceable wealth of their history we'll be you i just saw a piece of my history the house of the empire where emperador draw the second of brazil used to live on fire being destroyed you know i see the history of my country becoming ashes it has no price i'm devastated. this is what the museum looked like before the fire with war than twenty million items from egyptian and greco roman times to a twelve thousand year old skeleton the oldest ever found in the americas process. during the process of the aftermath we're going to have the participation of the museum employees it will be a slow process so that we can who knows recover a fragment something that could still have a historic value. a museum curator was allowed to salvage meteorites that could

later have been confused with debris. the cause of the fire is still unknown but many are pointing the finger at sharp government budget cuts and say this is a tragedy the could have been prevented residents say firemen were too ill equipped to contain the blaze before it engulfed the entire palace. hundreds of angry real residents converge in front of the remains of the museum shouting out with ten or the president and our culture is not a commodity president michelle tamar has ordered to museum be rebuilt as soon as possible knowing nevertheless as do all brazilians that what has been lost can never be recovered to see in human al-jazeera. meanwhile a court in brazil has banned political campaign ads showing the former president through all of the seaver as a candidate the ruling was made in response to a complaint by the novel party no law has been barred from running in next month's

we do not do anything we have no fear we are going to do our best to face it was the verdict was widely condemned reuters says it will not give up and is considering what steps to take next today is a sad day for me and maher reuters journalists wallowing in chaucer who and the press everywhere these two admirable reporters have already spent more than eight months in prison on false charges designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press. the journalists were arrested in december last year as they were investigating an arbitrary execution of ten ring your men by soldiers and militia the prosecution's case sintered on secret documents the reuters writers had at the time of their arrest but while lone inch or so to say they were framed testifying that those papers were given to them by the police who moments later arrested them it seems that in doing their job they had gone too far in the minds of the military that still the most powerful force in myanmar. has been unfairly

accused we have been convicted of breaching the official secrets act we performed according to media ethics we didn't do anything harmful towards our nation and we didn't commit any crime however they decided to convict us anyway. the verdict will heap more international pressure on me and mars leader aung sun suu kyi once a campaigner for freedom of speech and human rights she remained largely silent throughout the trial the government now has the ability to issue pardons for while alone and to also to journalists imprisoned for investigating a crime signaling the end of media freedom in myanmar when hey al-jazeera bangkok. iraq's parliament has met to begin the process of forming a new government almost four months after the disputed parliamentary election in a prime minister hyderabadi and the influential shia cleric there are attempting to form a government together to create the biggest bloc in parliament but a rival bloc is also claiming

same way in the values that it promotes. in the manner that you do. and in the impact that it has on african countries. folkman refutes the view that a newcomer on your list is taking hold in africa as i want to talk just would have us be a display of africa china unity but it would seem very much on china's to adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. still to come in this half hour. thousands turn out where the anti racism call service the eastern german cities wealth by far right and the rest and that the u.k.'s labor party is tearing itself apart over the issue of anti some of this.

split come to the surface like this because never before has there been a labor party leader so obviously pro palestinian. at the heart of it is labour's refusal to accept several examples of anti semitic language and views as defined by the international holocaust remembrance alliance or i h r a it is deemed for example anti semitic to say that jews are more loyal to israel than their own country or that the state of israel is by definition racist or that israeli government policies are like those of nazi germany corbin and his supporters claim this prevents them from properly criticizing israel's actions towards the palestinian people. a whole raft of labor party heavyweights like former prime minister gordon brown have demanded the party clarify properly its position by falling into line with the i.h.r. a at a time when the ruling conservative party is in the whole of the brics states labor

is tearing itself apart labor almost isn't functioning as a coherent political entity at the moment within it it's not so much sort of you know moderates versus corporate knights really what you see is a sort of warring fiefdoms so i'm quite smooth as the right wing against coburn there's a centrist against coburn there's even the left against cobain there are divisions within the leader's office there are influences from different parts of youth movements and trade unions things all very chaotic the other question is the effect it has on colvin's reputation the may only be three hundred thousand jewish people in the u.k. but repeat suggestions that a veteran and she racist may himself have a problem carry significant electoral risk liberal leaning voters labor supporting voters who think they're in a party or supporting a party which is on to. rices don't think they are themselves onto racist and don't want to be supporting a party which appears to be always claim to be anti semitic labors national executive is under enormous pressure finally to change its policy though so angry

is the mood from the powerful left wing but it isn't a foregone conclusion labor remains a party's membership of the leader but his politicians are deeply divided on the al-jazeera london is famous for kneeling rather than standing during the american national anthem in protest at racism in the us and of the many other n.f.l. players followed his lead colon the pair neck is without a franchise contract but things are looking up for the former san francisco forty nine ers quarterback after he became the face of a new nike campaign as part of the thirtieth anniversary of the just do it slogan compare nick took to twitter and instagram saying believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything. and now a reminder of our main headlines argentina's president has been setting up proposals

a lot of good d.n.a. . have to get out there like he gets there when. it's seed and then i'm able to follow him. but i will then get all born and never. see him but i'm going to house a little it's that i want all the while i don't see him but i. want to see him but i succumb to the mean something and. then i'm going to. call my mom. and i will assume that i'm ok but i'm naive and i finished in the next.

time they are talking and being full and then they must find i'm long. haul. oh. i know you guys. have waited out there on the wall. but get lower than that but i know that i'm on the guess that most. of the fleet one. at the most i'm simply manto in this. to see.

austerity measures and new taxes to stabilize a struggling economy and currency. angle in brazil funding cuts are blamed for a fire at the national museum in rio that destroyed two hundred years of history. worldwide condemnation as me and mara jails to reuters journalists on charges of possessing secret government documents and coming up in sport former world number one novak djokovic advances to the u.s. open quarterfinals. hello argentina is introducing austerity measures to stem its currency crisis that's us presidents are richer machree admits the economy is facing an emergency so he's increasing export taxes cutting government spending and slashing the number of ministries from nineteen to ten the arjen time that pay so has lost more than

half its value against the dollar this year and took another dip on monday it's now the world's worst performing currency the central bank has tried to shore up the currency by increasing interest rates which are now at sixty percent last week the government asked the i.m.f. for an early release of a fifty billion dollar loan the biggest i.m.f. bailout in history and that will be the subject of talks with the i.m.f. in washington on tuesday argentine. last bailout ended in a hundred fifty five billion dollar default in two thousand and two the largest ever in history there is a bow has more from what i sirees. argentina is trying to prevent a major economic crisis precedent. announced and mergence the measures to stop the weakening of the pace all. but on the streets tensions continues to be on the rice on monday people gathered to protest after almost six hundred workers were laid off

from this ministry they're convinced the situation will only get worse if the budget cuts you know when you see what the government is doing you know the only thing we can expect is more layoffs a deteriorating situation for those who need work. maggie announced he's continuing with an austerity push and he would see the number of ministries dropped to ten from nineteen he also reinstated a tax on exports reversing the cuts announced soon after he was elected president three years ago. to cover what's lacking jury in this transition that has become an emergency we are asking those who can contribute i'm referring to export errors that their share will be greater we know that it's a very bad tax which goes against what we want to promote which is more exports to create more jobs across argentina but i have to ask you to understand that this is an emergency and we need your support after signing an agreement with the i.m.f.

the government's main priority is to reduce the fiscal deficit but for people on the streets inflation is their main warry arjen times are watching closely the weakening of the base or because it has a direct impact on inflation which continues to be one of the highest in the world and that's why exchange houses like this ones are fields with people waiting to trade in their bases for u.s. dollars. the economic collapse of two thousand and one is still fresh in people's memory when a run on the currency ended with a run on the banks. millions of middle class workers were pushed into poverty many fear the current austerity measures may end up the same way economists say the crisis this time is financial and political when the government is attacking the problems in a reasonable way the negative side of this of course of those efforts are not

necessarily popular. to vote next year we have a very important election a presidential election but i think the government's trying to. lecture by trying to do as much as hard as possible this year for now maggie is focused on putting the current crisis to an end but those affected say they remain on the streets to fight the policies that hurt people like. us let's get some perspective and speak to allan suppose he is the professor of economics at the national university general sir joining us live via skype from one osiris thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera to what extent do you think these measures by machree will be able to control the crisis. personally i think it's it's very unlikely that these measures will do anything but what with the crisis that kind of thing they were deep in it. one could say that market is austerity

package is similar to recommending a stock to go on a diet. if you have a problem of fall he cannot make activity falling isco revenues and what you're trying to do is. is revere's the disco deficit this sets all policies is not going to do is not going to achieve that there is the point of view that he has few potential sources of revenue and he's kind of attempting to soften the blow here for argentinians by not touching social spending do you not agree with that. well which he. i know i have i do not agree with that there are many potential sources revenues that he could tap into the export tax implemented is nothing short of a joke it's the in some cases for no other resource for each dollar

exported in other words if the devaluation rate continues as it has over the past couple of months that export tax will be reduced to nothing in the short run on the other hand as far as the lower income people and those on fixed incomes salary negotiations the zeer this year has been way under inflation and part of the policies implemented have the two. refused to subsidies on most of the utilities all of this has resulted in higher prices of basic consumer items purchasing power of both of workers and those on subsidies as being very severely eroded ok and it can have a policy of taxing i recall traill exports it has been done before but machree by doing this he's basically going back on

a major campaign promise so how is this going to affect him politically is this going to turn into a political crisis for him. i doubt that because the tax is so minimal and with close to nothing as the banks are going to. ground against the dollar that i think it's more symbolic. than anything out very clearly it's not going to be a major source of disco revenue and it's not going to have a high impact on primary producers or exports so. i seriously doubt there would be a big reaction and forest soybean exporters the export tax has been reduced to eighteen percent from twenty five percent as a very substantial reduction in the exports for the soybean production all right allan suppose we thank you for speaking to a final jazeera you're very welcome now argentina's former president cristina

kirchner has appeared in court for a second time in the country's largest corruption case she's accused of taking bribes from construction companies dot's in exchange for contracts during her presidency kurtzer denies any wrongdoing and has the scribe investigation as shameless she's immune from imprisonment but not prosecution. police in brazil have fired tear gas on protesters outside the national museum. the demonstrators are demanding to see the damage caused by a massive fire what's the sort hundreds of years of history the two hundred year old building in rio de janeiro held twenty million items including some of the region's best preserved human fossils results president has promised to rebuild the museum but it's not yet clear what caused the boys or line america to turn the sea a new man has more. only spoken ruin or left of what was brazil's pride and joy

the largest anthropological and history collection in the americas. museum of the story and regina done to us could not be consoled but us. it seems like a night i went to sleep thinking it was a nightmare the tower was going to wake up from it was the fire started on sunday evening after the building and one thousand nine hundred three former royal palace closed fortunately there were no casualties but brazilians are mourning the loss of a new replaceable wealth of their history we'll be you i just saw a piece of my history the house of the empire where emperor dumped dry the second of brazil used to live on fire being destroyed i see the history of my country becoming ashes it has no price i'm devastated. this is what the museum looked like before the fire with war than twenty million items from egyptian and greco roman times to a twelve thousand year old skeleton the oldest ever found in the americas process

during the process of the aftermath we're going to have to protect the patient at the museum employees will be a slow process so that we can who knows recover a fragment something that could still have a historic value a museum curator was allowed to salvage media rights that could later have been confused with debris. the cause of the fire is still unknown but many are pointing the. a chop government budget cuts and say this is a tragedy that could have been prevented residents say firemen were too ill equipped to contain the blaze before it engulfed the entire palace life hundreds of angry rio residents converged in front of the remains of the museum shouting out with tenor the president and our culture is not a commodity president michele tenor has ordered the museum be rebuilt as soon as possible knowing nevertheless as do all brazilians that what has been lost can never be recovered to see in human al-jazeera. a court in brazil has banned

political campaign ads showing the former president lula da silva as a candidate it's their ruling that was made in response to a complaint by the nova party has been barred from running in next month's presidential race because of a corruption conviction the seventy two year old is serving a twelve year prison sentence for money laundering but his workers' party says he will remain it scans that it. the jailing off to reuters journalists in myanmar has sparked international condemnation while low and quiet so the conviction is a travesty of justice that's according to the united nations human rights chief the us ambassador to the u.n. says it's another terrible stain on me in my eyes government when he reports from bangkok and neighboring thailand. instead of walking free. who were taken from court and back to prison throughout this ordeal the reuters journalists had remained defiant and positive and that continued even after hearing they'd been

sentenced to seven years in jail oh no no this is directly challenging the democracy and media freedom of our country we will calmly face the situation with our best efforts in the appeal since we do not do anything we have no fear we are going to do our best to face it. the verdict was widely condemned reuters says it will not give up and is considering what steps to take next today is a sad day for me and maher reuters journalists were alone in charge so who and the press everywhere these two admirable reporters have already spent more than eight months in prison on false charges designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press. the journalists were arrested in december last year as they were investigating an arbitrary execution of ten reading in men by soldiers and militia the prosecution's case into don secret documents the reuters writers head at the time of their arrest but while lone inch or so to say they were framed testifying that those papers were given to them by the police who moments later

arrested them it seems that in doing their job they had gone too far in the minds of the military that still the most powerful force in myanmar will have been unfairly accused we have been convicted of breaching the official secrets act we performed according to media ethics we didn't do anything harmful towards our nation and we didn't commit any crime however they decided to convict us anyway. the verdict will heat more international pressure on me and my own son suchi once a campaigner for freedom of speech and human rights she remained largely silent throughout the trial the government now has the ability to issue pardons for while alone and sure so two journalists imprisoned for investigating a crime signaling the end of media freedom in myanmar wayne hay al jazeera bangkok al-jazeera english as managing director john trendall condemned that verdict and calls for the reporters to be released immediately. so firstly i think it's

a travesty of justice and it's a shameful attack on media freedom we stand by a reuters journalist colleagues and can condemning it and we call for the immediate and unconditional release we ourselves as al-jazeera know something about this sort of attack on our media with how journalists ourselves imprisoned we have three of our journalists imprisoned for over four hundred days we launched an international campaign to to. to put it out there and to basically say that journalism isn't a crime they were eventually pardoned and released after four hundred days but there is still a journalist in prison in egypt from our sister channel al jazeera arabic who's been in prison detained for over six hundred days without formal charge got a lot of publicity we had presidents we had politicians we had international human rights organizations n.g.o.s press freedom campaign activists and organizations and

other journalists as well including colleagues from reuters who who joined us in the campaign to free al-jazeera staff and under the slogan journalism is not a crime you can't lock up people to conceal and cover whatever nefarious actions you're doing you know you can't put john this behind bars so as you've just heard the al jazeera journalist mahmoud hosain is in egypt behind bars he's accused of broadcasting false news and receiving foreign funds to defame egypt's state institutions this week and egyptian court extended his the tension for a sixteenth time he and al-jazeera strongly deny the allegations the network is demanding his release and egyptian court has also extended the detention of an opposition activist who called for protests against president have been for the has sisi. arrested on august the twenty fourth he's detained on charges of inciting demonstrations he called for

a referendum on cc's rule the egyptian president was returned to office earlier this year in a vote in which all serious competitors were arrested were pressured into withdrawing before the election. here with the news hour plenty more ahead including donors promise millions more for africa. but will it be enough for. violence hunger and climate change. also why women voters may hold the key to donald trump's fate this november. one of the world's biggest names is missing from . player nominees list details coming up a little later and sports. but first mexico's outgoing president the surgeon violent crimes on the police in his final state of the union address president. says local police are incapable of

crushing the smaller gangs that emerge following the arrest of cartel leaders but pena nieto made no mention of the corruption scandals that dominated much of his six year presidency which helped leftist president elect. win huge support in the last election for more we can cross over to live to joining us from mexico city so essentially it's pena nieto his farewell to the country what was the message that he was trying to send out with this speech. well the message he was trying to send out was that he hadn't done such a bad job he talked about the economy describing it as stable a lot of people have said it sluggish he talked about the debt he'll be handing on to the next government which he said was manageable in truth it's gone up since he's been in power and he talked especially about the reforms to the telecommunication industry the education sector the energy sector saying that that was really the greatest achievement which is going to hang on kind on to miscarry

some of those reforms most of them were necessary in the eyes of many experts some of them have bad better than others some of them have got stuck in some the next administration might try to repeal as you mentioned he also talked about buoyancy probably rather not have mentioned that because it's actually got worse during his administration the worst homicide figures all recalled worse even than the height of the so-called drug war in two thousand and nine to two thousand and eleven so it was really quite a slick message lots of glossy videos putting a bit of a brave face on of the ministration that hasn't gone as well as he perhaps and many other mexicans have voted for in my approach and for the next administration the next president takes power in december what sort of policy changes and do we expect there. well he's hoping to put right a lot of what didn't go right under this administration there was lots of you mentioned a little bit there was lots of corruption conflicts of interest involved in the

president himself actually and. a mansion that was brought by a third from a favorite government contractor so the next president elect and his money will lopez obrador who takes power in december says that he's going to wipe out corruption he says he'll do that by putting a good personal example himself some people are questioning whether that's going to be enough he said that he's going to put the poor first and he's going to try and increase salaries that will increase the economy and he says that if you give those poor people enough to live on that will the crease violence in the country because it will give people another way to make money so he's really trying to change things to have a very different message than in reeky pena nieto the outgoing president now john home and thank you. it's labor day in the u.s. when campaigning for the midterm elections kicks up a gear a record number of women are running for political office

a majority of them against president trump's republican party so if they democratic party takes control of congress in november they'll work to put the brakes on agenda our white house correspondent kimberly halkett went to gauge voters' moods in the battleground state off michigan. at the michigan state fair women have plenty to say about u.s. president donald trump powerful disappointing dangerous different. november americans will vote to choose a new u.s. congress decide whether or not trump's republican party maintains control and since women tend to show up in greater numbers at the polls than men the president will need their support labor day monday is the unofficial start of a surge in campaigning from here in the u.s. state of michigan to all across the country all institutions are running on and

again donald trump's record and many of our women. are record number of women are running part of the so-called pink way. we always thought it was possible clue democrat alexandria ocasio cortez who ousted a long time congressman to win a new york primary. by ill hunt omar and rashida to lead both democrats will not only make history as the first muslim women in congress but will undoubtedly be part of an effort to push back against the troubled ministration in michigan's eleventh district two female first time candidates are running against each other it reflects a trend that's been going on for years but one analyst argues trump's victory over hillary clinton the first female candidate for. yes it was a big reason for the search there's this long time sense that president trump

has not cared about women has not spoken to women has denigrated women said really horrific things about women. history is not a trump side generally the president's party loses seats in return elections that means if democrats take control of congress in november women could play an even bigger role in determining trump's future can really help get al jazeera. well germany's giving one hundred sixteen million dollars in emergency aid to countries in the lake chad region that's on top of nearly three hundred million dollars already promised to help bring political stability and pay for development and infrastructure germany's foreign ministry says the money is in europe's security interests. we are doing this because we know that security is only works together and because as you know we are convinced that regional cooperation

in generations a man who spent his entire life campaigning to political justice for palestine. equally fervent opponents allege a close it racist an anti semites who says there's a difference between criticizing israel and criticizing jews but the lines between the two. there's always been a split in the labor party on israel with one wing supportive of the palestinian struggle and another wing including many jewish labor party members who actively accept and support the existence of the state of israel but never before has that split come to the surface like this because never before has there been a labor party leader so obviously pro palestinian. but the heart of it is labour's refusal to accept several examples of anti semitic language and views as defined by the international holocaust remembrance alliance or i h r a it is deemed for example anti semitic to say that jews are more loyal to israel than their own

country or that the state of israel is by definition racist or that israeli government policies are like those of nazi germany corbin and his supporters claim this prevents them from properly criticizing israel's actions towards the palestinian people. a whole raft of labor party heavyweights like former prime minister gordon brown have demanded the policy clarify properly its position by falling into line with the i h r a at a time when the ruling conservative party is in the whole of the brics its labor is tearing itself apart it's labor almost isn't functioning as a coherent political entity at the moment within it it's not so much sort of you know moderates versus it's really what you see is a sort of warring fiefdoms so i'm quite smooth as the right wing against coburn there's a centrist against coburn there's even the left against cobain there are divisions within the leader's office there are influences from different parts of youth movements and trade unions things all very chaotic the other question is the effect

it has on colvin's reputation the may only be three hundred thousand jewish people in the u.k. but repeat suggestions of the veteran and see racist may himself have a problem carry significant electoral risk liberal leaning voters labor supporting voters who think they're in a party or supporting a party which is on t racist and think they are themselves onto racists and don't want to be supporting a party which appears to be always claim to be anti semitic labor's national executive is under enormous pressure finally to change its policy there is so angry is the mood in the powerful left wing but it isn't a foregone conclusion labor remains a policy has membership of the leader but his politicians are deeply divided on the al-jazeera. well tens of thousands of people have attended an anti racism concert in german city of china the events in response to a week week of anti immigration rallies by far right groups under the banner there

are more a fuss the crowd carried out here racism cards and chanted out several rock and indie bands performed the chancellor angela merkel has called on germans to mobilize against hate. this internationally destructive we are not a far right city. the majority of the population is totally normal democratically civilized but not far right for god's sake we don't want that we don't want such people absolutely. this is absolutely fantastic because after people of kindness we have to show that our city is colorful is open to everyone that we have no sympathy for what happened in recent days. and so it's clear i think it's cool that so many people will come here to support him. under a son of four is a senior fellow at the center for analysis of the radical right he says the refugee crisis is not the only issue driving support for the far right in germany.

i think there are many different things coming together where the so-called referee crisis is only used once actor but one thing that the far right of germany has been able to. mobilize its long frustrations among the population of eastern germany and we see these kinds of frustrations across the european post communist space with other words in all the countries of the former eastern bloc and he's frustrated that maybe these systematic change that occurred thirty years ago did not lead to the expected. improvements in life careers or considerations that if you don't have surgery or it's you towards the west and so on this is these are sentiments that the far right in germany could play upon and where the refugee crisis only more so and to be the key point where that the far right could use as a tool in order to mobilize the masses both overnight and of these small signs that

we can see now with his own surge and the end demonstrations that i'm not turning as violent protests as the far right but the raising awareness among the germans that this has to finish and this is to stop the olives d. and he'd done all the right thing who votes in germany are collaborating in order to through concert an attack against the german constitution when one that's sent sentiment as a right in the german mainstream that is the most important subject right now so it's not so much about the leadership question in german politics as as to what vision of germany there is for the future iraq's parliament has about for the first time since the disputed elections in may and there were fears signs of the animosity has passed as rival factions competed over the right to name a new government a bloc led by the incumbent prime minister had their law badly and populist shiite cleric knocked out a sudden says it's confident it holds the most seats and pay. must now select

sort of a solved structure like the prime minister needs to do to speak english to have a ph d. and also to have some sort of support from the international communities and also. other ministries other important ministries like minister of planning minister of oil minister of finance and minister of foreign ministry which means that this solved government if it will be made maybe and i'm saying maybe it is going to save iraq in malaysia to women have been caned in public after being convicted of being in a lesbian relationship they were struck six times in a room full of onlookers and tearing down of state such public punishments are rare in malaysia. morris's says trying to persuade judges that the united nation's top court that it was illegally pressured by the u.k. to give up a chain of islands in exchange for independence the chagga silence were split from

a theme park where you can travel back in time i want to show everyone this is what it looked like back then. come the camera lovers come here to see the origin of photography others come looking for something different from digital for us. this is the second oldest photographic technique in the world in dates back to the eighteenth fifty's. it's what people used before film and it came here in the eight hundred sixty s. . i just bought the cameras decoration but had examined and repair. that made me want to shoot with it. but luckily it's so exciting. committee this is more of a machine than a camera i can actually put it to work. this method uses collodion solution which takes

a month to prepare. a board on the glass plate soak it in silver nitrate solution in about five minutes the plate becomes the film. the models have to freeze for six seconds using a supporting device to keep your head still. i need to shoot and develop it right away before it dries everything has to be done when the plate is still wet you have to be fast like is a part of this method too you might get spots on the photo and people prefer the look of imperfection because you can never recreate it. almost japan's wet plate photographs appear more rustic compared to other countries that's the look i'm trying to revive. a lot of young people come here the old method has a fresh appeal to them many people bring really unique outfits like the ancient armor others come to celebrate weddings with one of a kind photography they're looking for something to treasure. and they say

wow that looks like my grandfather that looks like my grandmother my ancestors that's the impression they get it isn't yourself that you see. their sin that this technique existed in the past and i don't want to let it disappear again. thanks for watching al jazeera back in a moment with more news stay with us. this is life on the streets of an eye out. for the discovery of theater is an opportunity to school and become some amends for the

ministries from nineteen to ten the. last more than half its value against the dollar this year and took another dip on monday it's now the world's worst performing currency dropping below the turkish lira the central bank has tried to shore up the pace so by increasing interest rates which are now at sixty percent on last week the government asked the international monetary fund for early access to a fifty billion dollar loan the biggest i.m.f. bailout in history will be the subject of talks with the i.m.f. in washington on tuesday well argentina's previous bailout ended in a one hundred fifty five billion dollar default in two thousand and two the. largest ever in history terrorism bo reports from one of sirees. argentina is trying to prevent a major economic crisis precedent. announced and merge and see measures to stop the weakening of the pace all. but on the streets tensions continues to be on the rice

on monday people gathered to protest after almost six hundred workers were laid off from this ministry they're convinced the situation will only get worse if it doesn't you know when you see what the government is doing you know the only thing we can expect is more layoffs a deteriorating situation for those who need work. maggie announced he's continuing with an austerity push and he would see the number of ministries dropped to ten from one thousand he also reinstated a tax on exports reversing the cuts announced soon after he was elected president three years ago. to cover what's lacking jury in this transition that has become an emergency we are asking those who can contribute i'm referring to export hers that their share will be greater we know that it's a very bad tax which goes against what we want to promote which is more exports to create more jobs across argentina but i have to ask you to understand that this is

an emergency and we need your support after signing an agreement with the i.m.f. the government's main priority is to reduce the fiscal deficit but for people on the streets inflation is their main warry arjan times are watching closely the weakening of the base or because it has a direct impact on inflation which continues to be one of the highest in the world and that's why exchange houses like this ones are fields with people waiting to trade in their bases for u.s. dollars. the economic collapse of two thousand and one is still fresh in people's memory when a. on the currency ended with a run on the banks. millions of middle class workers were pushed into poverty many fear the current austerity measures may end up the same way economists say the crisis this time is financial and political when the government is attacking the

problems in a reasonable way the negative side of this of course of those efforts are not necessary. to vote next year we have a very important election a presidential election but i think the government's trying to. lecture by trying to do as much as hard as possible this year for now maggie is focused on putting the current crisis to an end but those affected say they remain on the streets to fight the policies that hurt people like them. alan civils is a professor of economics at the national university of general sara mantel and donna sirees he says the measures are only going to make the economic situation worse. one could say that market is austerity package is similar to recommending a stop a person to go on a diet. if you have a problem for the economic activity falling just go revenues and what you're trying

to do is. is review is that this go deficit this set policies is not going to do is not going to achieve that the export tax implemented is nothing short of a joke it's three in some cases or in other measles for each dollar exported in other words if the devaluation rate continues as it has over the past couple of months that exports tax would be reduced to nothing in the short run on the other hand as far as the lower income people and those on fixed incomes salary negotiations the zeer this year be way under a reflection and part of the policies implemented have been to. reduce the subsidies on most of the utilities all of this has resulted in higher

prices of basic consumer items purchasing power both of workers and those on subsidies as being very severely eroded argentina's former president cristina kirchner has appeared in court for a second time as part of a major corruption case she's accused of taking bribes during her presidency from construction companies in exchange for granting contracts curt's third tonight is any wrongdoing and has the scribed investigation as shameless under the law she cannot be in prison but is not immune from prosecution. police in brazil have fired tear gas on protesters outside the national museum in the city of rio de janeiro. the demonstrators were demanding to see the damage caused by a massive fire which destroyed much of the two hundred year old building it's not yet clear how it began the museum held twenty million items including some of the

region's best preserved human fossils brazil's president has promised to rebuild our latin america editor of a sea of newman has more. only spoken ruin are left of what was brazil's pride and joy the largest anthropological in history collection in the americas. museum of the story and regina done to us could not be consoled but us bills are still it seems like a night i went to sleep thinking it was a nightmare the tower was going to wake up from it was the fire started on sunday evening after the building a nineteenth century former royal palace closed fortunately there were no casualties but brazilians are mourning the loss of a new replaceable wealth of their history we'll be you i just saw a piece of my history the house of the empire where dry the second of brazil used to live on fire being destroyed i see the history of my country becoming ashes it

has no price i'm devastated. this is what the museum looked like before the fire with war than twenty million items from egyptian and greco roman times to a twelve thousand year old skeleton the oldest ever found in the americas process during the process of the aftermath we're going to have a patisserie patient at the museum employees will be a slow process so that we can who knows recover a fragment something that could still have a historic value a museum curator was allowed to salvage media rights that could later have been confused with debris. the cause of the fire is still unknown but many are pointing the. finger and sharp government budget cuts and say this is a tragedy that could have been prevented residents say firemen were too ill equipped to contain the blaze before it engulfed the entire palace i hundreds of angry rio residents converged and front of the remains of the museum shouting out with tamar the president and our culture is not

a commodity president michel tamar has ordered the museum be rebuilt as soon as possible knowing nevertheless as do all brazilians that what has been lost can never be recovered to see in human al-jazeera. well the jailing of two reuters journalists and many more has sparked international condemnation the united nations secretary general says. quote conviction is unacceptable his calls for their immediate release the case has been seen as a test of the country's approach to press freedom as wayne hay reports from bangkok instead of walking free while lone inch or so who were taken from court and back to prison throughout this ordeal the reuters journalists had remained defiant and positive and that continued even after hearing that been sentenced to seven years in jail oh no no this is directly challenging the democracy and media freedom of our country we will calmly face the situation with our best efforts in the appeal

since we do not do anything we have no fear we are going to do our best to face it oh the verdict was widely condemned reuters says it will not give up and is considering what steps to take next today is a sad day for me and maher reuters journalists were alone in charge so who and the press everywhere these two admirable reporters have already spent more than eight months in prison on false charges designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press. the journalists were arrested in december last year as they were investigating an arbitrary execution of ten reading in men by soldiers and militia the prosecution's case centered on secret documents the reuters writer's head at the time of their arrest but while lone inch or so to say they were framed testifying that those papers were given to them by the police who moments later arrested them it seems that in doing their job they had gone too far in the minds of the military that still the most powerful force in myanmar was being unfairly

accused we have been convicted of breaching the official secrets act we performed according to media ethics we didn't do anything harmful towards our nation and we didn't commit any crime however they decided to convict us anyway. the verdict will heat more international pressure on me and mars leader aung sun suu kyi once a campaigner for freedom of speech and human rights she remained largely silent throughout the trial the government now has the ability to issue pardons for while alone and sure so two journalists imprisoned for investigating a crime signaling the end of media freedom in myanmar wayne hay al jazeera bangkok for the managing director of al-jazeera english giles trendall condemned the verdict and called for the reporters to be released immediately. so firstly i think it's a travesty of justice and it's a shameful attack on media freedom we stand by a reuters journalist colleagues and can condemning it and we call for the immediate

population from when you referred to. the thems hold for more than four decades for the right to return to the lives of the choice we were face was no choice at all it was in the advance on condition of agreement to do such or no independence with detachment anyway this was not and cannot be treated as the freely expressed will of the people of blue shoes well the u.k. has apologised for the evictions but insists the issue should be resolved out of court campaigners say people are victims from the island should be given the right to return toungoo her as the chairman of the u.k.'s child support association. there's been conversations given at various times but it's not nearly to the value . that the u.k.

government say that it is and also doesn't it's impossible to compensate that kind of reaching from the island so to us compensation is is not the issue the right of return needs to be given the u.k. and the u.s. government need to take responsibility for their actions over the last fifty years even if sovereignty is given to malicious and the trade lawson's need to be front and center and that any decisions being made about the islands in the future us have been challenged on this a number of times when barack obama visited the u.k. jeremy corbyn raised the issue with him and the president then president didn't push they had no objections to the ones for we don't know what the trumpet ministrations position on this is but we we've been speaking the u.k. and he's been speaking with the u.s. and we want to see the right of return but that currently the objections of the right of return are primarily coming from the u.k. not from the u.s. mexico's outgoing president has blamed a surge in violent crimes on the police in his final state of the union address president enrique pena nieto said local forces are incapable of crushing these

equally fervent opponents allege a close it racist and anti semites who says there's a difference between criticizing israel and criticizing jews but the lines between the two. there's always been a split in the labor party on israel with one wing supportive of the palestinian struggle and another wing including many jewish labor party members who actively accept and support the existence of the states of israel but never before has that spirit come to the surface like this because never before has there been a labor party leaders so obviously pro palestinian. but the heart of it is labour's refusal to accept several examples of anti semitic language and views as defined by the international holocaust remembrance alliance or i h r a it is deemed for example anti semitic to say that jews are more loyal to israel than their own country or that the state of israel is by definition racist or that israeli

government policies are like those of nazi germany corbin and his supporters claim this prevents them from properly criticizing israel's actions towards the palestinian people a whole raft of labor party heavyweights like former prime minister gordon brown have demanded the party clarify properly its position by falling into line with the i h r a at a time when the ruling conservative party is in the whole of the brics states labor is tearing itself apart labor almost isn't functioning as a coherent political entity at the moment within it it's not so much sort of you know moderates versus corporate knights really what you see is a sort of warring fiefdoms some quite small there's the right wing against coburn there's a centrist against coburn there's even the left against coburn there are divisions within the leader's office there are influences from different parts of youth movements and trade unions things all very chaotic the other question is the effect it has on colvin's reputation the may only be three hundred thousand jewish people

presidency those are the latest headlines on al-jazeera inside story is coming up next stay with us. politics of the u.s. is just cutting millions of dollars in military assistance to pakistan it says it is not doing enough to fight on washington using a as a foreign policy tool and one of the consequences this is inside story.

and welcome to the program of the parana the united states has pakistan is failing to take action against armed groups including the taleban washington says some of them operate with then pakistani borders and it wants the government of new prime minister imran khan to do more but also says it will end a planned three hundred million dollars military assistance it's part of a broader cotton u.s. aid to pakistan which was announced earlier this year pakistan's foreign minister says three hundred billion figure is money the u.s. owed the country for its help in fighting armed groups secretary of state is expected to visit wednesday and the issue is likely to top the agenda president donald trump has previously accused pakistan of deceiving the u.s. while receiving billions of dollars and aid pakistan denies it give safe haven to any armed group will bring in our guests in a moment but first let's have a closer look at the figures pakistan's estimated to have received more than thirty

three billion dollars in financial support from the u.s. since two thousand and two washington substantially increased its ascent. and so as lama bother the wake of the nine eleven attacks then it went up again in two thousand and nine when congress approved a package that authorized an estimated seven point five billion dollars in aid over five years but that lucrative financial support has drastically for that and recent years especially since donald trump came to office well let's bring in our panel now joining us from islamabad a symbol of calm a security analyst and washington d.c. aparna pandey director of the initiative on the future of india and south asia at the hudson institute and also islamabad is a shot of say the a political analyst and development practitioner very warm welcome to the program miss carr let me start with you. just how damaging are these cuts to the powerful militaries capabilities to the operation against groups.

i think more than the cuts been damaging to the military's capacity to carry out anti militant operations that they have been in pakistan's tribal areas i think more damaging than that is the damage to the relationship the diplomatic damage to the relationship and kind of bringing the run and an unpleasant such to the first very important visit because we've just had elections and pakistan we have a new government we have a brand new prime minister who was elected to the office for the first time and we were hoping that this would be a moment ago and of reset relations we've seen that pakistan u.s. relations have been on a downturn last year specially and this was there was a hope that these could be things could be put on right track but even before the you know if they could bomb people's visit and the mattresses visit to pakistan happened this this has created a little unpleasantness and bad blood the military is carrying on operations and i

think within pakistan there is a certainly there is the understanding and a clarity here that these operations i'm only being conducted for pakistan's own benefit but pakistan's own kind of ideas about what we need what our defense of our border areas with the harness on what we need long term what we need internally and how we how we look at external security so i think these will be continued and we have the military has its own long term plans on that i don't think this three hundred million card is going to substantially change those plan ok those plans are going to continue and i know it's a difficult position but they would continue let's ponder what do you make of that this cons talking about a sort of you know there was hope for a resetting of relations but is that what the u.s. administration is actually doing or trying to do reset the relations by withholding money. in monetary terms the amount is not much and the money was actually suspended as of january of this year what is important is the message that the u.s.

is trying to send the bottom line is the american side believes that pakistan has not been keeping its promises pakistan has acted only against those debtor groups that operate inside pakistan it has gone system plea diffused to act against those terror groups that operate against americans and afghans in afghanistan or against india inside the country and saw with all due respect to my friend from pakistan they don't seem to understand that you did that in the us it is not a question of you know what the old argument is it's not an issue of litigating history but a matter of trust it is one thing to see that i cannot do this because it is against my national interest it is any other thing to see that i will do it which pakistan was seeing all these years and now to protest that you are not getting paid for not doing something you are not doing. as a v what do you make of that and is that productive or counterproductive to get

a country to do what you want by cutting financial assistance. well if you hear the americans friends like aparna and many others in washington and and in india and indeed in nevada stan if you hear them tell the story they've never been able to get back to do anything whether they've provided the billions and billions of dollars the tap of u.s. dollars that was open as a free for all for military dictators in this country over three generations of the one nine hundred sixty s. the one nine hundred eighty s. and two thousands. or when you shut down the gate like in the one nine hundred ninety s. or what appears to be what's happening now with this symbolic sort of announcement right before the right before the arrival of secretary pompei o whether you provide pakistan with all kinds of money or you provide box on with nothing whether you

hold pakistan's hand and tell it how great it is which the americans have done intermittently throughout their history or you chide pakistan and put out sort of you know newspaper stories in the new york times and particularly in the washington post saying how bad pakistan is ultimately bucks on the ends of doing what pakistan wants to so i think what probably a lot of folks around the world need to look at is the relationships that pakistan is in where other countries are able to get pakistan to do what they want pakistan to do and most of the time the way that happens like with any other country is when other countries align their strategic interests and their security interests with the interests of the party that they're interested in if people are interested in getting pakistan to act in other people's interests in afghanistan then they have to give some attention and consideration to pakistan's interests and of honest on as well let's khan what do you make of that i mean the defining issue of the u.s.

relationship with pakistan is of gonna start on what is all of this you know the withholding of military assistance the souring of relations going to mean for the pakistan the pakistan's relationship with the afghan taliban and is the u.s. losing the leverage that it has through pakistan with the afghan taleban by cutting this funding. i think that relationship u.s. pakistan relationship over the issue of support of dollar bond or the sanctuaries of dollar bond at least that's what the u.s. and others have accused pakistan of having centuries of taliban and pakistan side has always been a sticking point in this relationship last last seventeen years since after nine eleven and the u.s. intervention that has always been the case and it has put the relationship under strain at various various points this is not the first time but i think what is changing and which is interesting this time around is usually what you list the leverage that u.s. had tried to use all the tools edward had tried to use to kind of pressure pakistan

with more security related impact and they used to be far more drone strikes suddenly they used to be far more border hitting our border skirmishes before that and various other kinds of pressure was put more like security centric pressure was put around but i think globally we're seeing a change that it's in since president trance last year security policy has come out there is a mortar for of a desire to kind of use economic means and measures which are considerable us has considerable economic might also leave people keep forgetting that us as looked like as a great unilateral military power in the world but it also has a key huge economic clout also globally and we see us using that economic clout now as part of sanctions with iran is concerned russia is concerned even in the trade bilateral discussion that china so i think pakistan also this is the kind of the trend that we're see going forward we've seen secretary secretary bumpier was kind of not very on a very undeveloped and comments on the i.m.f.

but it's ongoing at the i.m.f. and that how that the america being a big contributor to i.m.f. is going to have of the dorsey in it and then now suddenly kind of coming out with this three hundred million aid as measured over said before nobody was really expecting this c.s.f. funding to come out at this moment but there is this kind of symbolic symbolism of putting economic pressure on pakistan because at the right. as you may know in the new government has come in pakistan is in a beautiful economic crunch just out of balance of payments are concerned economy's not doing too bad pakistan has been growing five point four percent last few years it which is been tremendous you know because we've gone through a whole beat of internal insecurity and devore ism so coming out of that box and have been growing five point four percent yearly g.d.p. is good in the internal market is very good but there is an economic crunch and i think the u.s. is kind of emphasizing the economic relationship and how that globally counts not

just with pakistan so it's interesting to watch that there's a different door knows impact of how u.s. is dealing with pakistan i do want to put the same question to mr condit and hear what you think do you think i mean how much leverage does pakistan have would the afghan taliban again of the understand is the key issue in this relationship and what will you know again what will the sort of cutting of funding mean for how much pakistan cooperates with the u.s. when it comes to the afghan taliban. actually i sort of i have three pointed on so one is the question of interests and goals i mean if you look at it what does the united states and what does afghanistan or any of the reasonable country seek in afghanistan a stable afghanistan which does not which is not influenced by by by groups like the afghan taliban or the hakani network on the other hand or does the

pakistani military intelligence establishment support the afghan taliban the haqqani network so they are no shared goals there are no shared interests and this has been a repeated back done and us pakistan relations going back decades that the two sides have never shared goals have never shared interests they have temporarily just been together for certain tactical reasons second the question of leverage the united states has provided or thirty three billion dollars in aid and reimbursement to pakistan and assistance and has helped pakistan in its almost seventeen times that pakistan has gone to the i.m.f. for a program. all of those programs actually only one program was actually implemented fully by pakistan. the third point which is that how much of influence does pakistan have over the afghan taliban i am one of those who believes it has tremendous influence but the question is does it want to use it back

a stand has before did not do use it or claims it does not have it because form pakistan's point of view and afghan taliban or lead afghanistan just like them with . going to stan is it helps its regional interests which are trying to contain all put down india so we have to look at a point we did what does our but what does pakistan want and how divergent is pakistan's interest from the interest of afghanistan the interest of united states and india. ok i do want to broaden the discussion now because u.s. president donald trump has cut aid to a number of countries in recent months he's ended all funding for the un's palestinian refugee agency that provides schooling and health care to five million people it denied egypt almost one hundred million dollars in aid and is holding back another one hundred ninety five million until it sees what it calls improvements and cairo's record on human rights and democracy and at washington

withdrew military assistance from myanmar over that country's crackdown on a muslim in rock state so we're seeing you know missed as a day do you think that we are seeing the u.s. or this u.s. administration jews funding millet whether it's military funding or humanitarian aid as a political tool in a way that previous u.s. administrations might not have. well if you don't mind i mean i'd like to zoom out and broaden this even further i think the first thing to understand and appreciate is that foreign assistance whilst almost overwhelmingly ends up benefiting the people that deserve it and tends to be at least from the view of the taxpayer that's providing that funding is genuinely a benevolent act you know an act of compassion and humanity but the way in which

foreign assistance and international aid is often programmed and the way it's directed and funneled is often informed by political objectives and there's nothing wrong with that the countries that provide aid to other countries are looking to achieve strategic and or tactical objectives so there's nothing wrong with the us choosing to use its money in whatever way deems necessary i think the question for a country like pakistan or any other country that is a net recipient of aid is whether or not that country knows what it wants and whether or not that country then can can channel the aid in the direction that it feels is best for its interests so i having worked in international assistance and international aid myself for many many years i've i've never found either a donor country or the recipient country at odds because at least the work that i've done most recently for example with a lift

a long campaign which we just closed last week we always found that both the u.k. deify deal which was providing the funding and the box on the government which was in many ways the target of that funding there was never any sort of you know lack of coherence or what i think i'll just tell you about it on one of mine values that so i think you know a lot of it right but if you're talking about say the example of the us administration cutting aid to the un agency that's responsible for palestinian refugees there is a complete difference and and. the u.s. administration is asking for and what the palestinians see as being fit misc can the palestinian leadership have said that the us administration is actually using. terry an aid as blackmail and that it's not going to force them to the negotiating table if we look at this case how do you see the u.s. cutting funding to agencies that are in charge of looking after palestinian

refugees and the response to it i think there's a big difference we would we were talking about military three or five bridges coalition support fund which is more military aid for military to carry on it operations i think comparing it to human a tear in a different absolutely different thing humanitarian aid goes to people to sustain themselves who have been you know where who live livelihood shelter food nutrition water all that access is denied to basically a matter of life and debt so what we're not saying that they're the same thing that we are doing and we can validate as hourly we're talking about the u.s. you know doing a little aid whether it's going to anyone or literally absolutely condemn knowable . no i think it's completely condemn the world and i think it's showing a very kind of heartless way of doing foreign policy and it's surprising because the u.s. has stored for him and for for actually for right and freedoms and support for

oppressed people around the world i mean that that's how we've looked at the u.s. and it it's actually a huge negative to their own image and to their own international multilateral image to do this but you know though i don't think that there's about a little with which we were created that we're talking here but i don't know anything any other word but to condemn it as misconduct what do you you know what do you think of what the u.s. is doing say with the case of you know cutting aid to palestinian refugees do you think that they're actually so serious about wanting to negotiate with the palestinians because it's not having that impact are they trying to use aid as a political tool in this case. i actually do not work on the middle east on israel or palestine so i will not be able to answer that part of the question i would much rather touch on what you had mentioned about the ied being cut to egypt so countries that had that have been military or security

are allies of the united states with egypt or to spark a stand with or in the case of burma they're trying to guard aid myanmar the reason i mean one may disagree with how it is done but one realtor about if you try and look from the american point of view is to send the message that we cannot keep providing you security aid and military assistance on the grounds that you promised that you would do something but you are not doing it and so maybe maybe cutting off aid is the v.a. to either seaver that or not we share any interest still or to make you do something that you said you would do but you are not done up till now but in the cases of egypt you know cutting funding because they say they have concerns over their human rights democracy and myanmar or that governments attacks on the revenge or would you say that that's made any difference at all if you look at egypt sort of human rights and democracy record now or the fact that myanmar is completely

denying all of the allegations against its government for its treatment of the. all i would say is that sometimes instead of giving money it may be a good way to check whether or not you have any leverage if i don't have leverage why should i give good money after bad and if i do have leverage maybe my cutting off money will lead you to rethink. ok i want to put the palestine question to mr say the as well because you do work in development you know there are so many people that have said for a long time that this actually excuses the israeli authorities as an occupying power to provide for palestinians and that aid money is keeping the sort of status quo of occupation in place so couldn't cutting aid actually have unintended positive consequences in the long run.

i think there's been a lot of sort of analysis and research that looks at sort of the potential downsides of aids and the way in which not just in the palestinian example which is obviously more stark and i think it evokes much deeper and stronger emotions particularly for people that care about how other human beings are treated but i think in terms of aid itself there's a lot of arguments that suggest that aid is largely an instrument to sustain the elite capture that so many of these developing countries are susceptible to and victims of because instead of forcing governments and and states to make difficult choices aid basically papers over those dysfunctions and those imbalances in the economy and in the fiscal realities of a country i think pakistan might serve us as as a really interesting case study because as aparna mentioned box on has repeatedly

gone to the i.m.f. box none has been an aid recipient for most of its existence and yet what's really interesting is that everybody keeps coming back and you know the rates of of the loans keep decreasing it never seems to end so clearly in terms of leverage there is something about pakistan that the united states has and i disagree with aparna she mentioned earlier that it's only been a tactical relationship but when the mujahedeen were being supported by the united states were being feeded and celebrated at the white house just on was it was a key partner so was israel so was egypt you know india was obviously left out in the cold back then but you know at that time the u.s. and bucks on were very much strategic partners and they sought and achieved strategic game including the defeat of the soviet union and its and its various allies so i think aid is obviously always has

a political dimension to it and i think it's up to the countries that are receiving as much as it is you have the countries giving. to determine how it's best you can this is a we don't have long left in the program and i would like to give put those points those very important points to both ms khan and miss pandey ms can let me start with you do you think that this sort of new u.s. strategy is going to work in the long run it's important relationship with pakistan . i don't think so i think they're going to be reset and change of it in this strategy for me as a temporary negative downturn ok the relationship has been on our on and on and downturn but i think this economic strategy or trying to use aid as a leverage right it's more of far off the shore and trying to shore they all are actually something something has been done ok miss carew apologized but i only have about a minute left and i would like to give mr the last word you have about thirty seconds

on this. i do believe that we should give this policy a chance we've tried everything else from massive amounts of economic aid military aid to sort of cutting off aid maybe cutting off aid will achieve something on both sides maybe pakistan really think its interests maybe the u.s. will rethink what it is what it wants from pakistan so why not give it a try or i responded thank you very much and thank you all for your very interesting views on this subject. in a pond in washington d.c. and say the also and islamabad and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and a further discussion to go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter i had a list at a.j. inside story from a lot of the product and the entire team here by phone. on

terrorism reports from water sirees. argentina is trying to prevent a major economic crisis precedent. and nouns to emergency measures to stop the weakening of the peaceful. but on the streets tensions continue to be on the rice on monday people gathered to protest after almost six hundred workers were laid off from this ministry they're convinced the situation will only get worse if. you know when you see what the government is doing you know that the only thing we can expect is more layoffs a deteriorating situation for those who need work. maggie announced he's continuing with an austerity push and he would see the number of ministries dropped to ten from one thousand he also reinstated a tax on exports reversing the cuts announced soon after he was elected president three years ago but i agree. to cover what's lacking jury in this transition that

has become an emergency we are asking those who can contribute i'm referring to export hours that their share will be greater we know that it's a very bad tax which goes against what we want to promote which is more exports to create more jobs across argentina but i have to ask you to understand that this is an emergency and we need your support after signing an agreement with the i.m.f. the government's main priority is to reduce the fiscal deficit but for people on the streets inflation is their main warry arjen times are watching closely the weakening of the base or because it has a. direct impact on inflation which continues to be one of the highest in the world and that's why exchange houses like this ones are fields with people waiting to trade their best source for u.s. dollars. economic collapse of two thousand and one is still fresh in people's memory when a run on the currency ended with

a run on the banks. millions of middle class workers were pushed into poverty many fear the current austerity measures may end up the same way economists say the crisis this time is financial and political when the government is attacking the problems in a reasonable way the negative side of this of course of those efforts are not necessary. to vote next year we have a very important election a presidential election but i think. by trying to do as much as hard as possible this year for now maggie is focused on putting the current crisis to an end but those affected say they remain on the streets to fight the policies that hurt people like them. or the u.n. secretary general has condemned the jailing of two reuters journalists are terrorists as the verdict in the case against child unacceptable the reporters were

hundred sixty five when it was a british colony those are the latest headlines on al-jazeera the people's health is coming up next they with us. seventy. six point five trillion is spent keeping the. challenge. six very different countries to see the constant battle to successfully to. the people's health. the u.k.'s national health service is recognized as one of the best in the world despite its many challenges. at its heart is

a network of nearly ten thousand local doctors practices which provide frontline primary health care to some sixty million people living in the u.k. today was thirty below. at one general practice in multicultural london we see the system of primary care put through its paces. under pressure and relentless demand yet still one of the most robust primary health systems anywhere. dr richard hopkins is one of eleven general practitioners of g.p.'s at the killick st health center in central london well other been arriving here on a regular basis for seventeen years this month and eighteen years ago this was

nothing it was a car park here and the health authority with foresight snapped up the land and built the building the health authority advertise for g.p.'s to start the new practice that they planned only we got it i can't quite stiff competition from other people who are interested in this great opportunity to build a new practice in an area that was very under doctor's omarion need and he would be evident building up our practice. or you could actually help a guy who. calls you get. an hour just over ten thousand patients they normally killing three helps and they're all good but there's quite a high turnover certain people come and go but there are people who've been with us for years about a quarter of our patients go each year to rere place by new ones so it's a continual battle to keep up with everybody and to and help the new patients settle into our service.

general practices like killick street provide free public primary health care for the local community both young and old. come on it was a head check out one who had very bright eyes ha and it says he's developed smiley very nicely has a machine every monday afternoon the practice runs a baby clinic you don't have a new worries about her as she always sees something i don't know that you it's not that you don't hurt her eyes a bit it's not really all right but sometimes when we go here when we go there at this age the eyes don't coordinate fully but there should be. it would need to buy four months old ok so if you notice anything like that happening after four months we'll see that is there anything in the family on either side of people with a screen two eyes not all. that will order the. piece in

the u.k. have to checkups the first one when they're born and then the next check is it six days a week with a huge potential physical health problems things like heart problems of course difficulties with feeding on growing well be a parent a perfect should be a parent by six to eight weeks as a medical student i was very moved by placement in the us working with children who were sick in hospital who were being discharged home for their treatment is complete because the insurance money had run out if that was so shocking to me as a british doctor that children can be denied access to kava cuz. of this money on hand just all four of us back looks like me and he's nice and strong excellent want to healthy. you look around and you. in one nine hundred forty eight the uki set up the national health service. funded through the tax system its founding principle is that health care should be free at

the point of need. critical to keeping this ethos to life is primary care provision which serves the vast majority of patients and saves billions of pounds. countries that have a primary health care system like we do with the n.h.s. and general practice have a much more cost effective system bred to countries like the usa that spend far greater percentage of g.d.p. on health and get far worse results statistically because we try to understand our patients get to know them individually we can come up with far more appropriate care in a recent international survey by the commonwealth fund the yuki's health care was ranked first out of eleven countries and the united states last despite the fact that the uki spent just nine point one percent of its g.d.p. on health care and the united states almost double that. if it didn't

exist or probably cat doctors disappeared overnight it would be the end of the n.h.s. that's how the n.h.s. works with a relatively small budget you are able to cover the majority of health conditions. today the yuki's primary care provides ninety percent of all health care for only eight point five percent of the total health budget. i would hope that our primary care system is the envy of the world it means that every person this country has been titled in to develop a past a relationship with someone who remember them and know what's wrong with them and be able to help them through periods of stress or physical ill health the uki is said to have a higher percentage of doctors working in primary care compared to other european countries. britain is also internationally recognized for having the highest number of people with an assigned primary care provider one thousand percent of the

population are registered with a general practitioner. like george has signed up to can extract health center. on the two of them that everybody seems to. think of a bit special i don't know but that's what makes me feel. i'm going to look at bank of. them if it's a dance that's linda stay in is a senior practice nurse to save money and free up doctors time patients who need minor ongoing treatment are cared for by nurses get to take the show off george if that's ok george has been coming here for seventeen years ever since he's been really. except that. it's quite a few years and i've been there and i've been tree with dr rock. the whole time

and she's been really really great sibylla about it and made. it very very choice how painful is it. what that's one thing is hopeful if you're in pain it's the lack of circulation you get sort of like an eighty x. mark if it breaks down infection can get it and then the cells around the leg getting infected so the leg swells up next is fluid and we have to put one and. sachi looking much better isn't it to know what these are looking quite good and a creator. if you go doctor. my love is in their hands and trust an insistence that. this isn't then move to the doctor friend this world. george is not alone.

in a survey ninety percent of the u.k. population say that they trust their doctors. knowing people well makes you a better doctor i think i'm better doctor because we have really good continuity of care here and i have patients who are my patients who i know and they know me and i think that actually helps me practice better medicine. long term doctor patient relationships are particularly effective when it comes to treating patients with mental health needs. my name is how i come from. out of the region to kate. and. i don't mean now. i have not managed. a church harder or i dream about things are home to me when i was a kid i wish physically sexually abused are not now hard on living with the abuse stuff but hannah suffered

a nervous breakdown in her twenties and spent years in and dated psychiatric hospitals. know well enough to live within the community she's completely reliant on the state for her health housing and welfare needs. dr melanie gardner is our first port of call for any health concerns i like her because she's our. she make me laugh she makes me smile i don't just see it as a doctor a she was a friend to develop which is nice to not mean you get a good relationship with a doctor makes her whole real object and. primary care looks after ninety percent of all patients experiencing mental health issues in the u.k. they make up a quarter of all consultations but not point men are after ten with dr gardner if you took a glance at hanna first off you think well she's not that well can't wonder what this person is all about. but if you can find something in that person that you

connect with or you can identify with then everything else can kind of follow from that. other. how you know i mean. i've had a really bad place on anything other than not measurable increase in value but it's a ok i can shuffle vanished like history but my so if they are you always feel bad and i caught a number skate and you scared ok on petrol hard. so this week and has it been that you all that the nightmares are worse in themselves they're more scary or is it that you're having them or want to take a week or mark a week and can i just ask what you do when you wake up come up like a shaky maiden a word you're sort of panicky you really have been running i was reading a diet book the other day ok you know on my way and i'm not it's not for you from

a right way and in the diet but i had a whole list of things you can do when you're not allowed to the yet obvious. is to control your eating but to distract yourself it's things like do a puzzle leaf through a catalogue call a friend do you know nails. i don't think you're taking this very seriously you know thought you know i read this list of things that distract you and i thought of you and i thought actually maybe this list might be helpful for you to look out a problem shared is it really does help to talk about things and just to feel listened to and feel acknowledged i didn't do that much today for example with hannah and talking about her past abuse i didn't do any big psychological intervention we didn't go into it really in any detail i tried to encourage her to be distracted the most important thing i did was say oh that's awful and listen and i really acknowledge what she was telling me and how awful it was and i think that she that's probably. the most simple thing i did thank you thank you seems very

self and don't do anything our economy. bye bye bye bye it gives me the confidence to come i am confident that for in make you need a competent building when you've gone for what i've got all you need to competence building and she to get meat out of it and mentally ill people often find it very hard to access health care they may be scared of institutions or going into a hospital if you're quite a vulnerable fragile person can be very threatening by providing doctors and nurses that they can get to know we can encourage people who are quite vulnerable to be able to access health care and where the hospitals struggle to. buy buy buy buy it gives me the confidence to come i am confident that for in make you need a competent building when you've gone through what i've gone you need to competence building and she gave me that on it and mentally ill people often find it very hard

a specialist or go for a test or whatever it may be patients can't really get into those systems without seeing the g.p. patients can only see a hospital specialist with a general practitioner or a feral each for a feral costs between two hundred fifty and three hundred ninety dollars. so there's a lot of pressure on us to make sure we use that in the right way really in a system which is stressed we have to justify that we are using specialist services appropriately louise for comfort dr ben smith patient louise has come to ask him for feral. pay to. have. yeah you know for you it's the so-called user that only soldiers always has you know this housing but how about i call my soul to know you've got a you know pinned down on him too so maybe i'll move you referred to the open bins you know the vast majority of the ferals like those

a killick street are based solely on the doctor's clinical judgment. but recently some practices have been rewarded for non referral by the local health authorities in an effort to cut costs where the hope ability service has the right thing i don't know i don't mean a level where services is that you know is it where is it reviewed this is actually pretty quick it's the internet and on and on and c.c.a. so out which is. what i can i can have a little bit of a look into that service and see what the sort of criteria are for getting there but i suspect it's quite severe criteria but what often will be for me to refer you to was called the most closely they will know about high probability surveys and they are able to refer you in start or suggest to me the tire food into that i have read a few i'm following you off with that now it sounds like maybe i kind of didn't think . well i was a pe it's microfinance that i've been seeing probably do appreciate that. this is

a very specialized thing that needs to. be coming through jump through hoops to fail you know maybe yeah that's right they appreciate. the reason. for that is my theory is they should hear from a clinic in a few weeks we have within four weeks or so posters. were right there are. thirteen million referrals are made in england each year a number that has increased by four million in the last seven years. patterns are monitored and there compared to other practices so we do see data where they were more or less than other practices you don't want to practice that over because that suggests that you may be not doing enough in primary care. the work of general practitioners is monitored by their local clinical commissioning

group this is to ensure best medical practice in their area. national bodies such as the national institutes for clinical excellence produce guidelines to inform g.p.'s decision making particularly when it comes to prescribing medication. they really. try to do. actually so willing to cheat we all struggle with the. this guy was the last one hundred last time coming ok thank you for legs yes. he did want to come in it was worse but still be. careful about prescribing not so much because people check up on us that the because we want to do best practice we want to follow national guidelines yes and in no time. cream up forty

five miles or so moisturizer between we've got you down for a season back trickle we don't do a forty five i don't dispense cards we are all the stress we have to do that usually what do you think of the best goal is good but if you don't like that one ultra bases are nuts and i said you must arise in three you know how i am about there's no evidence that says any particular difference between which moisturizing you create you cream use and another they're all very much the same local prescribing advisor t. want us to prescribe the cheapest what. cream and that's going to save one pound fifty four ok i think one pound fifty for not very important times that by hundred thousand people we can save hundreds of thousands of pounds by prescribing the cost effectively. i'm going to visit one of my regular patients. who normally comes the surgery actually but she's been quite ill recently she's got a very nasty skin condition on the court epidural lysis below. which means she has

blistering skin all over her body but on. her box but also inside her mouth around her eyes as well and she's had a flare up recently which means keeping a lot of pain and. she's unable to come to the moment it is a life limiting condition. it's a fine balancing act by saving resources where they can general practitioners are able to add. kate more to do is in greater need or i would feel ben's where. hangs. by that high yeah you can only feel not too bad well i was in arctic out of all the heat and stuff in the month so i was you know more or less on the bags i can even stand up to get into the chair and at the end of last week i was feeling a bit better i'm

a bit more and so immobile and i wasn't really hurt in some much like last week when my friends we were asked to go to this event and i was so i kind of stored that hetty from that because we did win the condition of the day it's allow i'm always. she wasn't the kind of tired and that's kind of the moment because i'll start to feel ok and anyway ok so in terms of our sort of we can catch up with aggressive medications or anything you need me to sort out for you at the moment. but it's ok mostly interesting yeah sky and the shift over the last few years think us. bench role is to coordinate the cure lucy gets from various hospital specialists in particular it's his job to prescribe the expensive medication that she needs and i am aware that with many people will he be it can be into hundreds of thousands maybe goal and. i mean it can't be helped too and there's not much

that we can use that is you know cheap you see that what we have now and nothing is it really you know tentative who should be much worse some of the are now and i can't really see many of us would be around to leave it to the quality of cancer that would you rather see nice to see you in a way you make with a happier to look at. you. medication is very very expensive so why of course if you conversations between the prescribing advisers about. the people who monitor our drug use want me to you know want to be clear that a medication is used properly because they concerned about the cost it cost thousands of pounds every month i'm not quite sure how much but it. is a lot but chiefly the needs of. meeting the medical needs of the u.k. population is an increasing challenge. since it has been found that the population is growing the population is a lot more people older people sicker people and the people who are more

worried about what's wrong with. less people a path to pay more tax and it's just not going to work you called far more invasive and expensive treatments on the same money less people are willing to pay more tax since the birth of the n.h.s. life expectancy has risen by thirteen years the population has grown by fourteen million and medical knowledge has advanced an unimaginable ways the pressure placed on primary care is building whether it can survive in its current form hangs in the balance and those changes are actually when i stop treating the n.h.s. like a political party and changing the rules are going to return the government changes or more. else this is an opportunity to understand the very different way we're there before

something happens and we don't leave our. struggles. or source. on this many times dollars for the full of pleasure interest on that and then also as mr tenet realises run the system and intimately. cuba today. and the media. told me it was going to stay with my cuba on al-jazeera. news as it breaks these thirty minute can be holding on for this right as they walk about about an hour in a coffin that direction details coverage you know make a never before seen such a factory number of refugees leaving one country from around the world the project raised questions from a very strong that this entrance cost two hundred thousand dollars to build.

have always been small independent businesses contracted and paid for by the government is a complex business. there are about ten different ways to get paid so it's to do with number of patients we have some quality some students report writing some bits through the education on the student politics some bits to do with training so it's crazy complicated which is exactly why we need the practice manager and the county to look after those side of things but ultimately the responsibility for success and failure is down to us so it's still not. it's the annual financial meeting and the doctors are hoping for a clean bill of health. if you go to this option if you will. is the think that through. each practice gets paid one hundred seventeen dollars pair patient pair year from the government. with additional funding stream. those for meeting health targets

killick street gets an annual income of two point eight million dollars. to. improve the pool. is needed is in profits. and was a prophecy of the fall because last it was significantly down on the fall that we are we back where we were or better than we were this year. we go up so we've only got another one thousand actually a tiny bit so this this look of being great is not great is just so i think the fact is yes we've recovered from about. recent changes to government funding mean that inner city practices with a number of relatively senior g.p.'s like killick street are set to lose money. you know this if we. see eighty one person. norton is illegal and go through to

do that because you're spending on primary care as a proportion of the health budget declined from eleven percent in two thousand and five to eight point five percent in two thousand and fourteen and now it's less or doing nor. have a total annual budget of one hundred fifty one billion dollars only thirteen billion dollars is spent on primary care. in this changes the bureaucracy every sorry ten round there change something that changed the point so they've changed the system when asked to stop treating the n.h.s. like a political football and changing the rules for time the government changes or more of. them. in the u.k. general practice doctors train for ten years almost as long as hospital consultants and can be paid an equivalent salary of around one hundred forty thousand dollars a year yet they are on the frontline of identifying dangerous symptoms from

harmless ones who have to be only and missing cancers are another thing we always worry about risk some some can't is obvious when they're present but many times the first symptoms are quite mild. fashion journalist pepe has been a patient of killick st health center ever since his previous doctor feel to send him for clinical tests. i mean you want the work for the study of my disease call it's all given you might fall which is wrong. two thousand and seven are. not feeling well and i heard calls and schools in iraq one to mind g.p. just dismissed markets. and told me you have a headache you have to take care. it's not counts are. and she would not refer me to a specialist the uki lags behind the rest of europe and cancer survival rates which

some have picked and the fact that people can't go directly to a hospital specialist their general practitioners muster for them first i decided to go to a new health practice killick st i was able to go to the here nose and throat specialist where i was told that i had cancer. dr trevor yellen has had to support pay pay through three bites of cancer very hard on what a day or so where are you in the process of treatment of fish. in the. first of all and. none of. it will tell me it's the future it's a big worry for him come from a that he will get a recurrence of cancer as you already have three that's more than enough for any person in the lifetime of problematic hospital is for him to be thinking about that

. since the birth of the n.h.s. the work of the g.p. has changed and increased there never of aging more key here that used to be given in hospitals we do our own investigations blood tests x. rays gowns we have people in this building who can look after your feet. pregnant see your psychological have if you go alcohol problems that what drug problems we've got workers who will help you with that. capitalism is a big problem in the u.k. and in this linton i've got a handful of patients who. i'm aware have alcohol problems and drink too much alcohol or alcohol is it some of the used to cope with a difficult situation right come in have a seat reason have an alcohol counselor is because there's good evidence that some of that can help intervene with patients like michael ok so we haven't met before

not a selector sorry i'm generally a bit nurses here and one of your doctors who asked you to come and see me just to talk about your alcohol used to how much you just say you're drinking at the moment michael but just a lot of really just a lot. yesterday for instance yesterday i checked and ok so averages about six counts a day well definitely like for you actually almost all right so what's an average day which is a false report. ok. and how long has it been like that for would you say. back now for about. about six months what would you like to do right delius what we need to work out i just want to get help to get out of so what do you think is a realistic level or what would you like to get back to two or three drinks or. even even though now i'm not drinking i've read any problem drinking. drinking each

fortunate patiently. so you what we say physically dependent really you know and it's quite dangerous for me to tell you to stop drinking immediately today the wrong advice their options you crash ok if you want to stop drinking altogether we can do record detox the other is what we call a community detox you grow their breathalyzer in the morning to make sure you're a safe level and they give you a tablet to stop the shakes and that sort of thing or we can just try cutting down bit by bit. thanks for coming you off in five years see you next week. stopping golf and quite difficult because it has. become. i've always done have always done well my shot of sometimes as my only companion.

my partner passed right. five years ago to start realizing. how long i were. on. the start. in a polygon. book i know it's someone that needs really addressed. and trying to do that. often of god man and john to help me along with. i like being busy. not so all i can open thinking i need accountable. and increasing aging population is adding to the workload of primary care. by twenty fifty one in four people in england will be over the age of sixty five but

you know the same newspaper. to appall. the best. so that's how we got to the trouble illness doesn't just have physical consequences it affects all aspects of a person's life i was walking from one thing. and i can now fast and i sometimes slipped on a wet leaf. and i had an invisible is simply a stroke. that changed our life. when i'm enjoying doing all smoking which is what if you always think about restraint it was just. i carried on working while talking to the time that she was a stroke of a fault or a stroke sufferers. recently

william was admitted to hospital because of a nasty chest infection and has just returned to dr ben smith care. william was very sprightly for his age physically he was able to push his wife up and down hills and get her in out of the car and i you know for his age he was pretty good and he's gone relatively quickly to being worse than average i think for his age in terms of his breathing and what he can do physically he certainly someone's on my radar the moment because he's got a cute things going on that side if you are fully on top of a lot of that is about getting him to as good a state as possible so he can look after his wife which is so important for both of them and one that morning how are you. now things going. i was committed you know to oscar. if we were going to things. as you. haven't just been. you know.

believed. growth. i would. be able to look often. she. strode. forward and. with time short breath i want to watch you. from. the world. and i just think your dream date you want sounds like older patients like william visit their general practitioners twice as often as the rest of the population. i mean i don't think i can form a miracle right now unfortunately. the lots of things going on here if this is all just very affectionately infection the treatable so if we can get rid of infection then your body will take a few weeks to recover and as

a reason you can't get back to how you were. if there's a progression of the underlying project to say this or the longest collapse the bit more or whatever the scam will show is that it's less easy that to be to try to predict what's going on so i wouldn't want to give you an hour to read the words that i want to mislead you will give you false hope but incredible would have no hope because we know that you know a lot of the infection or all of us where most of. the older pairs and gets the more likely they are to develop more than one condition. increasingly managing these complex co-morbidities or in the hands of the doctors and nurses in primary care. their job is to ensure patients stay out of hospital. what we're checking is the thickness of the blood this gentleman's taking topic hold off a much deliberately things the veriest differently because it can be affected by things in your diet we have to make sure that the blood stays within

a therapeutic range from one point four their record down again. so let's see if we can find some sort trend what's going on has there been a time when because of eyes even away or not that you're eating has changed other you've been eating more that oppose or less vegetables or drinking more or drinking less i entirely run the clinic on my own i have complete control of what happens to the patients and keeping them within mange the thing about the wolf and it's about making the blood thinner but if it gets too thin the patients have the best of having major plates which could be life threatening and if it's not finished off then back to thicken or at risk from both this. saw so heart attacks mists of talk up on just trying to find a way that we can or i did not know an underlying reason why it's swinging around so much when you get and the taliban we can't retrieve it exactly the same treasure

here and you have what we call the similar type of vegetables every day of your life not every guard. on which i remember one of our fighters was mashed potatoes and i'm not looking to start she said some looking at actual green vegetables but really very bad poll says all of my i have been weak. on their run of being. on their. order or brought in but not every day. because if you have dish every dish i recorded will have regarded a bit boring i wonder what brought them your risk of clotting so we've got to increase your medication getting patients to take responsibility for their own health is the new challenge facing health professionals in the u.k. it's the patient's responsibility to give us information we can gauge things on but you do have a responsibility for making sure that my practice is the safest possible otherwise

you can be held liable in a court of law after change medications to see within a week so if you want to go. for the watch for now i need to see in a week's time i'm on up to that. or should be but of course. if you want to show me show you monday then on the thing would call me back or sunday show we won't be going away that monday sometimes the patients attitude can be challenging i don't i don't actually want to name all the pressures on general practice are beginning to show. today doctors working in primary care have the lowest morale of those working in the n.h.s. . increasing numbers are retiring and there aren't enough being trained to replace them there's a big problem in the u.k.

of people in the general practice in droves because of the stress of paperwork and reduce financing so the government recently promised an extra five thousand physicians. about how they're going to do that it seems a mystery to me it's not just individual doctors being lost but whole practices the way that individual small business like ours survives is is quite precarious. there are about thirty seven broke the three are closing from two thousand and thirteen to two thousand and fifteen around fifty practices closed in england alone yet in uncertain times their work remains essential with austerity where this is the crash of patients are being under a huge amount more pressure with people having less money. and that puts an added pressure on us because it makes people ill. it actually made people medically unwell and mentally unwell dealing with that sort of thing and then we pick up the

pieces and also people then come to us for a lot more medical letters to try to track benefits and so on the g.p.'s have picked up the pieces of so many people's lives in their community and turned them around and. for the past year michael has got on top of his drinking. apart from gardening he is no training to become a kook about john and without. there's no chance i'll be standing there non. non basically band and team around in. the shape my life and not on their amount but logic is a year on here i on. enjoy myself and knishes because. of bad maggi pay pal fully understanding the lesson. in really does listen it doesn't interrupt you when you're talking and any patient even though i'm

a patient he's more patient. it's nice to know you've got someone now on your doorstep when you need them it really is. unfortunately these committee doctors can't save everyone in february two thousand and fifteen when species lissie passed away with or without of course any young person who had such an incredibly positive stoical approach to things when they succumb to the real us it's horrible really loose i just she's probably my favorite ever patient perhaps i shouldn't have favorite patients but i mean just her approach to life was extraordinary given her condition. a horrible horrible condition which affected all parts of her body but she still maintained such a positive attitude the vast majority of the time and i think she's probably the

only place i've ever cried about when she died i found it really really upsetting. i thought the yell of compassionate patient centered care is not just desirable it's cost effective. it makes it essential if the health care system is going to meet the challenges of a growing aging population. mr indian is seventy four years old his parkinson's and dementia have left him house buying ever has been providing his palette of care for the last five years. i just want to find out how things have been since last week the condition in the conference here teary eyed and we just continue coughing and couldn't break our forty four minute sit in my off from my stand up to it how prevention but if your conference starts we're

going to be looking at that now and then when i get back to surgery i'll make sure they come in next twenty four hours and we'll probably increase the collective range of walking them as they're going how you nice to see you always feel good because you do it so nicely and then i come on and let's not rest this is my side. if you do what's the home and if they have a caring family and we assume that that is what they want the family wants to have . and we do what we care and to enable that to happen. thank you. thank you very much ok this. doesn't have a temperature there i can feel that by touching your skin his chest it can really hear the secretions like or anything over the secretions so i definitely need to increase the ante secretion medication and you think how much money the new and sun are saving the n.h.s. by looking after that that themselves if he was in hospital or nursing care he

would be the cost of for a lot more money so actually they're doing the country a massive favor by look you know after that. led to a much better job. for a very n.h.s. a fortune thank you very much. with an emerging aging population this compassionate care becomes vital for the survival of the whole system. but often that's. where. the yuki's primary health care is still held up as a model around the world. the country and its medical needs may have changed. but the power of patient centered primary care remains. few things are the same or had all cultures but i think all cultures have some sort of meds paperless to their g.p.'s impression that will still be here and sixty years no

doubt the political scene will of change in the bureaucracy though change no doubt will be more. thing to the heart of general practice will be the same that relationship between doctrine patient that's what you know holistic thoughtful relationship and it's really difficult patient difficult. works difficult and there's too much to do and not enough time and some days give you a hard time. and. now actually that's what was going on. nineteen is experience and practice it's not long enough to see in a few things come and go. expected but that's probably another nearly twenty years to come in by that time. i know everything. each day around one million people in the u.k. see their g.p. without these gatekeepers the cherished ethos that the national health service can

provide care free at the polling to meet we disappear. the future holds many challenges but primary key. remains too precious a jewel in the u.k.'s craving for it to be lost. brazil's constitution grants its people the right to essential medicines but it's been a long struggle and the system is constantly challenge side because what's in it i know that nine some one medical treatment could lead to get death but on the other hand i also know that the cost of providing that treatment would have a negative impact on the rest of society. brazil's real drugs war on the

people's health on al-jazeera. hello there we're still got quite a bit of rain with this i have a pulse of north america at the moment the satellite picture is capturing the system that's bringing us all wettest weather and it's also brought us some pretty stormy conditions as well some places have seen some hail some places some very strong winds and hair in michigan we've seen this tornado now as we head through the next couple of days the system is only moving very slowly eastward so for this whole region expect plenty more heavy rain and they could be a problem with flooding here ahead of it staying hot for now with the thirty two as
