back this time though it was left burning. demonstrators bending their anger about iran's alleged involvement in iraqi politics and its failure they say to deliver key services to the city people here believe the politicians have turned their backs on that neglecting government corruption has caused a systematic decay of its infrastructure yes. why eleven come to parliament and inside the green zone while we're out here dying of hunger and thirst why are young people in graduate school in the market selling onions all the government jobs and we scripted to the parties. at least fifteen buildings connected to politics in the oath or it is have been targeted in the past few days this is the shell of the provincial government offices. some iraqis have been killed in what's regarded as iraq's shia muslim heartland ignore the hundreds of

people were attending a funeral and. these are protesters. they are protesting unemployment the water crisis the bad services how to. kill them. during friday prayers the representative of a rexx leading shia cleric condemned the violence against both the protesters and security forces guarding the buildings he also criticised politicians for being too interested in buying the power to shop sab miller the patient people cannot afford or lack of interest from the officials in solving their increasing problems and the crisis they're competing between themselves for political gain and gaining governmental posts along foreigners to intervene in the country's affairs. iraq's parliament is expected to hold an emergency session to discuss the crisis on

saturday and he would al-jazeera. abbas as a professor at george washington university. and iran he says it is unlikely iran will interfere in these protests. well then go right now is directed in every direction again the old. iran normally is the one that gets to be closest when you talk about bus for that is a lot of the iranian influence among the. groups whether they are in the local politics on and or and the local social leadership including the fighting groups. so it is one of the old girl suspects including included in the eyes of the targets of the i'm bored right now. as we know you're going in the one sense in iraq is undeniable so i don't believe they are going to interfere in any way by do so force

or any other means is full up to the iraqi government and that's why the iraqi government sent forces on force and forced months will be probably they can get a hold so it is the prerogative of the social leadership and the un but for a tribal leader. group leaders are really just there that's why the the margin of the grand ayatollah faces the need says the president the dominant about from turkey says it can't take in any more syrian refugees as government and russian forces push ahead with an offensive to retake and lead president russia typer and want as warning of a bloodbath in the last rebel help province he met the leaders of iran and russia to discuss how to prevent a humanitarian crisis for three million people trapped their famous obviously from tehran. three leaders of modern nations born from ancient empires around a table into iran they planned the future of

a country whose leader was not in the room. as the president of russia and iran patted themselves on the back for a job well done keeping syrian president bashar al assad in power turkey's leader reminded them that the mission was far from accomplished we do not want a bloodbath in italy and we expect you to support us in this regard a decision which we reach in relation to the fates of a glib will also shape the future of the region much of the to her own summit was spent talking about the future of the syrian city and province were armed groups and opposition rebels are preparing to make their last stand against syrian government forces and russian warplanes for the underwriters of the syrian conflict it blue is a clearly a point of divergence iran and russia see it in national security terms the syrian government needs to regain control of the city to combat what it calls terrorism as well as asserting national integrity turkey already home to three and a half million syrian refugees. in humanitarian terms president recha paper to once

said the majority of men women and children there are not fighters and have suffered enough and the turks can't cope with millions more fling it iran's president acknowledged that the vast majority of people in ad lib are civilians. so c.n.n. . is sensed it because terrorists use civilian people as human shields they hide themselves among people to continue their shameful lives we should try to separate terrorists from people fight terrorists and protect civilians in this area but if iran's leader held the middle ground russian president vladimir putin whose military involvement turned the war on us as favor has a different view if armed groups are willing to use civilians as human shields he said what happens next is their fault. those are good jobs that terrorists do the same thing everywhere all the time they use human shields the russian military always tries to spare civilian lives soon after that they're on some it ended the united nations peace envoy for syria warned the security council that any battle

for ad lib would be horrific and the time has come to evacuate the city throughout the day leaders in tehran discussed a future syria free from terrorists with new buildings a new constitution and even elections while leaders in new york were left to weigh the potentially disastrous consequences of what seems like the inevitable battle for it. and the politic editor james space has more on that u.n. security council meeting from its headquarters in new york but many diplomats believe it's not now a case of if there is an offensive in need lived but when despite that though stefan de mistura the u.n. special envoy has come up with a new plan to stop the bloodshed he first said he'd like to give the security council the plan in a private session but then the nikki haley the u.s. ambassador who's the current this month president of the security council said no we want to hear your plan in public and this is what he said ideally all militant

fighters should be asked with a deadline to move their own military presence baith this way i did beat away from populated think the village. at the same time and here comes the message and the message i've got from the population. i mean you're indicating that this is what they've been asked from door to to move out of they may house those day in may fifty three million people are going to be mobilized on that so one of the lever's for this plan is that people power guessing the civilians needless to say to the fighters you need to move out of the built up areas out of the villages and towns and cities the other lever he says is the turkish government putting pressure on those fighters but i think there is

a big question here if you are a fighter or a commander of one of those fighting groups who's been fighting now in this war for more than seventy years why would you now leave areas built up areas among civilians where you may feel more safe and instead go into the countryside when you know that the syrian government and the russians have aircraft ready to bomb you people and live had been protesting against threats of a government assault al-jazeera saddam. has more. what are they going to be that they were going to do about that it would be about dozens of demonstrations in the province of it live in the countryside of pema and aleppo have taken place condemning the russian intervention and moscow's threats to launch a military operation it limp the demonstrators called for the armed opposition factions to unite to repel any possible attack by the regime forces and their allies on it and at suburbs the demonstrators carried banners condemning the u.n.

envoy to mr with statements about it live and the thaw and so the international community about the threats of the regime forces at its allies to launch a military operation on the raging yes or so much a friend save the children says it's working with other aid organizations to prepare for a worst case humanitarian scenario. it makes sense for us first aid organizations to come together to be calling for what we consider will be i mean joe boyd a humanitarian catastrophe in a lead because we are aid agencies are already extremely stretched we're talking about three million people in adelaide. out of them all happened then and have already been displaced from other parts of syria if you live in the area in. syria which has the highest high a few months time it needs and an escalation in violence could only make things

worse so we are preparing on the ground for potential escalation but i think the thing to stress right now is the fact that supplies are already then when we talk about food medication we're talking about also displaced people. who are already in the crowded conditions who are living in shelter in rural areas that in terms of hospitals the world health organization is saying that for national trust it alls are not functioning it live right now and. we can imagine that this offensive will make things even worse. plenty more ahead in the news hour. because our. politics in the u.s. . american.

looking into the potential of collusion between russia and the trump campaign potential russian interference in the twenty six thousand election how is that well he was drinking in the london bar while talking to a diplomat from australia and he told them that some russian officials had told him that they had dirt on hillary clinton well after her e-mail and those d.n.c. democratic national committee e-mails were released they notified the f.b.i. and that is what the investigation so the sentence of fourteen days that's because . admits he lied to the f.b.i. when they tried to question him about it he said it took about six months when they came back at the arrested him then he offered to cooperate but they say he did so begrudgingly and didn't give them a whole lot of helpful information still the judge did say that it was a very serious crime and so he said he was going to sentence him to fourteen. former u.s. president barack obama has criticized his successor donald trump and the republican party and a rare political speech obama urged people to vote and november's mid-term congressional

elections which could have a major impact on trump's presidency white house correspondent reports accusing current president donald trump of capitalizing on resentment former u.s. president barack obama delivered a blistering attack on trump's time in the white house this is not normal these are extraordinary times and they're dangerous drug. obama is back on the campaign trail advocating for democrats in advance of a november vote that will determine control of the u.s. congress and offer what he believes is a much needed check on his successor the politics of division and resentment and paranoia is unfortunately found a home in the republican party obama's fiery speech took aim at some of trump's most controversial moments as president clued in his response to white nationalist protests in charlottesville when trump blamed both sides for the trouble we're

supposed to stand up to discrimination and was sure as heck supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to nazi sympathizers. how hard can that be saying that nazis are bad obama's attack comes as trump is also campaigning for republicans in north dakota trump responded i'm sorry i watched it but i fell asleep. he shot back at obama who said the economic recovery started under his presidency if the democrats got in with their agenda in november of almost two years ago and said that having four point two i believe honestly you'd have four point two down you'd be negative you'd be in negative numbers thank you illinois. still obama's speech is a stinging rebuke of a sitting president with

a distinctly different vision of democracy kimberly hellcat al-jazeera washington. israeli soldiers have shot at a palestinian teenager touring renewed protests on the gaza border the palestinian health ministry says the seventeen year old was shot in the chest ninety four others were injured including thirty with live bullets palestinians have been protesting every friday since march to demand their right to return the trap ministration is once again cutting more aid for palestinians this time the target is cancer treatments or other critical care if there is some hospitals this follows washington's decision last week to end funding for a united nations relief agency that helps palestinian refugees for more on this what's going to be gallagher who joins us live from washington d.c. so and what else do we know about this latest round of cuts well this is the third week of cuts from the u.s. or the state department told us a reprogramming of finances in this case is twenty five million dollars it's being

removed from the east jerusalem hospital network that is a set of six hospitals where palestinians who can't get the appropriate treatment in either gaza or the west bank can actually get treatment like cancer care critical care so this is a real blow to the health care system for palestinians last week we saw three hundred million dollars removed from the united nations in palestinian aid in the week before that two hundred million dollars removed from humanitarian aid so now we're looking at more than a half a billion billion dollars in aid to palestinians being removed of course president trump says he's all doing this to get the palestinians to talk about peace negotiations but what he's really doing here is playing to his base who will this affect andy. well if you look at some of the treatments that these hospitals provide it will affect the most vulnerable people among the treatments here are cancer care but also dialysis for children so these are the people who really will

be affected by this removal of twenty five million dollars never mind the half a billion dollars that's already being removed this will of the most vulnerable people in this area it really won't achieve anything if a child needs dialysis if a child is facing the end of its life to have this kind of money removed but of course president trump is saying the palestinians see name gruesome is that as the capital have been disrespectful ultimately he wants to get them to negotiate for peace and says well look this is the angle i'm taking if you don't come to the table i'll take away the money critics say this is nothing short of an inhumane move on his part. it's quite an angle and for sure many gallagher thank you. it's a waiting game engine even were a un mediated peace talks on yemen had been delayed the hold up is the who the delegation which has arrived they say that they will attend it certain demands are

met and clearing allowing them to return to the rebel held capital sana as this is happening protests continued in yemen against the conflict rising costs and food shortages and seven support some djibouti just across the gulf of aden. another protest over a shattered economy much bigger than previous demonstrations this is the booty rebel held capital city of sana'a what. they want to starve our people to death shame on them we will triumph no matter what the saudi and american enemies to the devil may be in the detail of preconditions for talking in geneva but with the hooty delegation still here the motivations of both sides seem unclear and the hopes of many people for dialogue are diminishing. in government held areas in aden and southern yemen here the aftermath of a six day of protests with shops all closed down but central to whichever side

people are on isn't so much the cost of living it's the cost of survival demonstrations continue for and against the saudi u.a.e. coalition backed government and different reasoning for some of the unrest there's anger shown by those joining the fighting this man says fighting for the u.a.e. earns a fraction of the money paid to those fighting for the saudis and with the currency worth so little now it isn't enough. we want our burning tires because our people are exhausted compared to those in a saudi salary we find prices extremely high hunger and everything else is here we are protesting against what we call corruption and the situation's way to yemeni people have to suffer they stalk people from the petrol stations and fell on the black market people keep the days to get people back in santa suit is united with their enemies in one interest getting by here in the old market plenty of produce

but it can only be afforded by a minority with enough cash this is a country in deeper crisis than ever before in yemen it's the unspoken thoughts of such a vast. number of civilians the hungry the bereaved the injured the destitute that could speak so much louder than all the protest slogans one n.g.o.s tried to convey some of the thoughts of those people by saying this it's time to put aside strategic and political ambitions and consider the future of yemen and the children all of those children who have been so recklessly treated under simmons' al-jazeera djibouti tesla's shares have suffered their biggest drop in two years says the company's c.e.o. faces more controversy electric vehicle company lost nine percent of its value after he ask a pair to smoke marijuana during a live broadcast on the internet is how to jocasta reports his recent behavior has

brazil's presidential election is unlikely to return to the campaign trail after next until after next month's first round vote because of being stabbed he has stab wounds that doctors say a.j. or boston are lost forty percent of his blood when he was attacked at a rally on thursday a lot america newman reports. just when it seemed brazil's presidential election campaign couldn't get more and predictable to bush a leading candidate was stabbed in the stomach during the street crowd. were two conservative evangelicals i.e. the device of law and order candidate sent this message to hospital. is meant council of never home to anyone. but many brazilians disagree well so now too is facing the supreme court trial charged with making inflammatory anti gay and t. black and massaging the statements which promote hatred and condone rape. all of bulls

are not as rivals strongly condemn the attack against the former army captain even former president rousseff whom he once said deserved to have been tortured during brazil's military dictatorship. is now whoever did this has to pay whoever did it. equally controversial would be leading candidate lula da silva continues to fight for his right to campaign from his prison cell where he's serving a twelve year sentence for corruption still brazil's most popular politician he's been barred from running but is appealing the court decision but given the likelihood he'll lose he's expected to cede his candidacy to his vice presidential choice. before wednesday the deadline for registering the former south america from the left wing workers' party is also now being accused of receiving in direct payments to his two thousand and twelve campaign he did nies any wrongdoing. what does the prosecution have in his hands the word of

a band-aid who lied eight times to the courts. regardless opinion polls show the head that is unlikely to inherit lula's popularity. also not as divisive and pro-gun stance also frightens many brazilians. all of which means that the thirteen candidate race is still wide open unless there is space attack actually gives both the edge he needs to win in a first round next month to see in human al-jazeera tom long as an associate professor of politics and international studies at the university of warwick he says brazil's presidential race for maine's unpredictable. i think that the race continues to be in many ways what it was before the attack on balls and i don't know which is a chaotic and unpredictable mess this was already a race in which the leading candidate was campaigning from a jail cell that's former president lula of course and now for the next couple of

weeks we're going to have the second place candidate campaigning from a hospital bed it's unlikely that lula will be allowed to compete so the rest of the field that is passed both nato who is leading on the far right is quite a mess we have you know eight or nine candidates who are all vying for for space and trying to differentiate themselves it's really unpredictable we've seen in brazilian politics over the last few years as brazil has gone from this spectacular rise to recession and political crisis is the emergence of really deep polarization and some of that polarization was there just below the surface but it is really out in the open and has been since there was a move to impeach former president putin by rousseff so what we're seeing today is in some ways the continuing continuation in the exacerbation of that polarization

on the other hand we see this really start divide over brazilian economic policy brazil has responded to its economic crisis with really deep austerity measures which has meant closing closing schools unpaid police forces all of this in the wake of brazil holding these giant mega vents spending lots of money on the olympics in the world cup for example and so in that context we have a really stark social division about how brazil should respond to this economic crisis through deeper deeper spending cuts or by trying to change paths in terms of its economic strategy. so in this far right could shake the next government security and immigration are major issues in sunday's general election feelings against migrants had been rising since the country took in huge numbers of refugees from the middle east in two thousand and fifteen john a whole report from stockholm. is no longer quite sure what sort of

a quest for home and generosity in sweden and placing immigrants and minorities at the center of everything that's wrong in society the relentless rise of the right here the sweden democrats winning five percent of the vote in twenty ten almost thirteen percent four years later and this time perhaps one in five votes twenty percent tells the story of a country changing fast reacting in part to the huge influx of refugees since twenty fifteen of which some people nostalgic for a simpler time are more culturally homogenously past a lot of people are telling their so the swedish society but i'm weren't. there so what. a question of identity that lies at the heart of this election showed how. far right supporters rallied in the german city of commits for another night of protests they're angry about the fatal stabbing of a german man last month two migrants have been arrested and charged with

venice is a city known for its unchanging beauty but over at the international film festival they're moving boldly into the future but that's what the organizers say anyhow they put on a record six films backed by the online platform netflix including the latest coen brothers film on route to san juan and on my home i do want to own the alessio criminy knees crying drama on my skin based on a real life case of a death in police custody it will be released on the same day on netflix and in italian movie creators. but for most of the netflix films including this nearly finished final film from the late olsen wells it's not clear how widely they'll be screened and for how long and that's worrying some in the industry who are involved in nurturing new talent that business model and if netflix keeps going to it's going with a place for everybody else in the room. here in cinematic process and has

the public can choose to see either at the cinema or on devices like their smartphones but the man heading this part of the festival rejects worries that netflix will make it harder for independent filmmakers to break through i would say next it is not so for us choice for them but for some as a project yaar on something like that of course we are more looking to have to make business was the cheeks or amazon netflix didn't have anyone for us to talk to in venice but they could end up with a winner alfonso koran's nine hundred seventy s. drama roma is one of the competition favorites. whatever happens make shaken up the industry but the real impact is still being debated the zero at the venice film festival. for the news hour thank you for joining me richelle carey keep it here hearts and next with more at the day's news.
