part of. china's democracy experiment on al-jazeera. the founder of one of afghanistan's most feared armed groups with close links to the taliban has died. hello welcome to our jazeera live from doha i'm martin denis also coming up. the strongest typhoon to hit japan in over two decades makes landfall. argentina's president almost whole of society is a government to save money as the economy teeters on the edge of disaster. thousands turn out for an anti-racism concert in a german city reeling from far right on the rest of.

the taliban in afghanistan has announced the death of commander. he founded the how can a network responsible for decades of suicide bomb attacks and hostage taking his son see their judean who succeeded him as leader said his father died in afghanistan after a long battle with illness his death has been reported several times before he sought to be in his eighty's and had been bedridden. he missed a political analyst in kabul he says a car and his death will not drastically affect the landscape in the region. as far as the death of gelatine how conscious concerned he has been for quite a long period of time that have been so many times rumors have been spread that he had died so i don't see a lot of impact in terms of the end times affection woden's because this guy has

already languished the leadership to his son said i didn't have any who was second in command within the taliban ranks and so i don't expect much too much change happening in terms of techniques in terms of intensity of engagement on his in the in the eye on what he was known for his not tarty or during the since the two thousand and one international community's invasion and the american invasion on a stand so the people who are supporting the cut entry jeem the kabul based administration they would certainly see him as a bad guy because he has been engaged in so many sophisticated attacks and he has been undertaking the most difficult ones and he has been the one behind changes that needs time and again it's really creating a lot of headaches loaded up on government international forces but also course within the college bound ranks he has been seen as a he looked during the eighty's as well he was one of those who really created

a lot of migraines and headaches for the erection forces and the kabul administration so depending on who you are the one thing that you have to admit is this you don't know he's a he's. in o.e. defense in the is a metric war that he has meaning is doing the sort of last four digits. whether accessing the west is a for in japan after the strongest typhoon after moving twenty is typhoon japanese with wind speeds of around two hundred kilometers an hour cools the cancellation of flights and trains have assumed evacuation orders were issued to him and is in floods and landslides warning the siege in the southwest japan is already in due to extreme weather this year of love and hate leads killed around three hundred people for the salami has small from take care. thank you j.p.l. go to the pot hole but isn't that what that guy which was. painted the big he's not so there doesn't seem to groan when site goes over three decades

ago many people where when afraid that the defeat in for such evidence be able to handle this kind of heavy rain. and action even so some. videotape was going on to tell me that on the way to one of the runways in gunfights airport which is the airport terminal it's loaded with bullshit i think they're they they've got that they're going. to use it for maybe a couple of days or so people there because anoint dunkirk she points on the bridge the connecting the boats with fifty or four pickups. but if two workers are trying to walk away and two of the ships some of them the boat and even people are talking the ship it's a very huge chunk about twenty meters long done one thousand four hundred way equates to about one thousand pumps. the siphon is now doing one long.

way but it's going to cruise alongside the japan for the about nine hours from now and we're expecting you have your rain in tokyo and other areas within the next hour coming. the president of the philippines is ordered the arrest of one of his most vocal critics roderigo deter a revote to twenty eleven amnesty that was given to antonio triana s a senator who can now be arrested at any time to younis was called has called the move against him illegal and draconian but he says he won't resist arrest. thousands of people have protested against julian outs emergency or sara the measures in argentina's capital borne aside as president. slashed the size of his government by almost a half and says he'll cut public spending later on to say the country's economy

minister is due to meet the international monetary fund to speed up payment of a fifty billion dollars loan debt as a boat ripples from. argentina is trying to prevent a major economic crisis precedent. and nouns to emergency measures to stop the weakening of the piece of. bread 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 but. 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 but 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. problems in a reasonable way the negative side of this of course those. are two votes and next year we have a very poor election a presidential election but i think. by trying to do 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. for weeks the main opposition labor party in the u.k.

has been embroiled in a rout. on tuesday the party's national executive committee is due to meet to decide on what exactly the definition of that word is some high profile m.p.'s a calling for the leader the veteran left winger jeremy coleman to resign lawrence the report. 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 he's 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. it'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

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 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. 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 corbin's reputation the man maybe three hundred thousand jewish people in the u.k. but repeat suggestions that a veteran and see racist make himself have a problem carries significant electoral risks 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 onto racists and don't want to be supporting a party which appears to be always trying to be anti semitic labor's national executive is under enormous pressure finally to change its policy that is so angry

is the mood from the powerful left wing but it isn't a foregone conclusion labor remains a policy membership not the leader but his politicians are deeply divided on largely al-jazeera long. feels to come here at al-jazeera why women may hold the key to donald trump's fate this november. donors promise millions more for africa's late child but when it be enough for a region be set by violence hunger and the effects of climate change. hello there well that's a very heavy downpours over the southeast in parts of asia at the moment on the satellite picture you can see plenty of cloud over the philippines news on that she isn't fairing too badly is to the south of that we've got all the cloud and lots of right now that's going to stick around over the next few days another area we're
