streets to fight the policies that hurt people like them. argentina's former president christina kushan of those appearing in court for a second time as part of a major corruption case she's accused of taking bribes from construction companies during her presidency in exchange for granting coal trucks denies any wrongdoing and has described the investigation of a shameless under the law she cannot be imprisoned but can face prosecution. the founder of the prominent afghan armed group the haqqani network has died john dean carney created the group in the one nine hundred seventy s. which forty against the soviet invasion of afghanistan during the one nine hundred eighty s. he's also opposed to the u.s. led invasion in two thousand and one and data the presence of nato forces and the afghan government the economy network is affiliated with the taliban and al qaida

evening after the building a nine hundred centuries 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 all but i just saw a piece of my history the house of the empire where emperor don pedro 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 can 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 at sharp government budget cuts and say the. it 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. hundreds of angry rio residents converged in front of the remains of the museum shouting out with terror 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. the u.s. president donald trump has warned syria and its allies not to and we quote recklessly attack the country's last remaining rebel held province syria's president bashar assad has said that he's planning an offensive to retake it lip trump is warning iran and russia who have backed assad in the war against joining

the attack the u.n. says any military operation would create a perfect storm for the three million people stuck in camps in the province it's calling for the creation of a humanitarian corridor to allow civilians to leave no other jailing of two reuters journalists in myanmar has sparked international condemnation the united nations secretary general says war loan and shore saw convicted a conviction is unacceptable he's called for the immediate release of the cases seen nor has been seen as a test of the country's approach to press freedom as wayne hay reports now from neighboring 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 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 and 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 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 there 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 sure so two journalists imprisoned for investigating a crime signaling the end of media freedom in myanmar wayne hay al jazeera bangkok the. english trolls trumbull has 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 our reuters journalist colleagues and and condemning it and we call for their immediate and unconditional release we

ourselves as al jazeera know something about this sort of attack on our media with had journalists ourselves imprisoned we 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 it 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 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 journalists behind bars because we've been hearing all jazeera journalists were moved to say remains in jail in egypt and since december twenty sixth even accused of broadcasting false news and receiving foreign funds to defame egypt's state institutions this week called extended his detention for a sixteenth toy he urged al-jazeera strongly denied the allegations of the network is demanding his immediate release. the most powerful typhoon to perth in twenty five years as made landfall in the west of the country typhoon jobi is focus to bring winds of up to two hundred kilometers an hour trains and flights are being suspended and more than two hundred thousand who. have been warned about evacuation japan has already enjoyed extreme weather this year flooding in july killed at least two hundred people while more than one hundred died in a heat wave typhoon jobby is expected to bring heavy rains as well as high winds

people came next we have to show that our city is colorful is open to everyone that we have no sympathy for what happened in recent days came first and. if it's clear that i think it's cool that so many people said will come here to support him. there is on a force as a senior fellow at the center for analysis of the radical right he says several factors a driving support for far right groups in germany. i think there are many different things coming together where the so-called referee each crisis is only used once actor but one thing that the far right in germany has been able to. mobilize it long frustrations among the population of eastern germany and we see these kinds of frustrations across the european post communist space with other words all in all the countries of the former eastern bloc and distrust gratian that maybe these systematic change that occurred thirty years ago did not lead to the expected.

improvements in life curious or situations they've seen of syria or egypt 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 morse and to the point where that the far right could use as a tool in order to mobilize the masses both all nine and of by these small signs that we can see now with his own 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 under the olives d'un piggy the and other right thing for from germany are when operating in order to try to concert and that's back against the german constitution when one that's sent sentiment as a right in the german mainstream i think that is the most important in black and white right now so it's not so much about the schip question in german politics as

as to what vision of germany there is for the future now the main opposition in the united kingdom has become embroiled in a row over the semitism the labor party's executive is to hold a k. meeting on the matter on tuesday but some high profile and pays for the veteran left wing party leader jeremy corbyn to resign over the issue lawrence lee reports from london. who is jeremy colby. is he as his fervent supporters believe the most moral politician in generations a man who spent his entire life campaigning for political justice for palestine or is he as equally fervent opponents allege a closet racist and anti semites who says there's a difference between criticizing israel and criticizing jews but you blurs the lines between the two. is 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 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 as 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

a 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 kobe and 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 are very chaotic the other question is the effect it has on corbin's reputation the may only be three hundred thousand jewish people in the u.k. but repeat suggestions that a veteran anti-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 anti racist and think they are themselves anti racist 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 though so angry

is the mood in 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. you're watching all just around the whole wronger mind of our top news stories argentina is introducing all sturdy measures in an effort to stem its currency crisis the peso has lost more than half its value against the dollar this year president mary see america is increasing export taxes cutting public spending and slashing the number of government ministries the u.n. secretary general has condemned the jailing of two reuters journalists in me and good terrorists says the verdict in the case of war loan and choice all is unacceptable the reporters it was sentenced to seven years in prison after an investigation of a massacre of ten muslim men. police in brazil the fired tear gas of protesters
