not to do what's russia says he did last week which is being responsible for the downing of a russian plane now the s. three hundred system has a friend and foe detection system which the the system that syria has been using up until now the s two hundred didn't have which is one of the reasons why this plane was shot down by accident it's a big step from the russian ministry of defense it essentially puts other aviation powers in the area on warning that they can't really use syria's airspace for their own devices now the interesting thing here is the kremlin has been on a slightly different tack from the ministry of defense over this the kremlin has been trying to play down this incident and not explode it as a as a reason to sabotage israel russian relations which have been pretty good but the ministry of defense is angry and asked about this very recently the kremlin

said that this was only aimed at. protecting russian service personnel and whether this was directed at israel they said no it's not directed at any third party so we do seem to be having a bit of a different approach to this incident and its responses from both the russian defense ministry and the kremlin it is possible of course of the kremlin is using this as a kind of bargaining chip to use with israel in the coming days ok thanks very much . small pro independence political party has been officially banned in hong kong in a move raising new questions about the territory status the government has cited concerns about national security for the move against the hong kong national party but it's invoked a colonial era law that was previously used to target organized crime anyone who supports the hong kong national party could be fined or jailed the government says

its political agenda is illegal and accuses its spreading quote hatred and discrimination against mainland china joseph chang is a professor of political science at city university in hong kong he says this sets a dangerous precedent there in the territory. majority of people do not believe that. among young people there is certainly the. identification. and a stronger and stronger identification with hong kong as a political entity even. dual. returned to china. hong kong people have not returned. still anyone at. all.

and. people who feel core values. have been. still to come here on the news for you. with the idea of supporting another referendum on. the us tariffs on chinese goods come into effect as a trade war between the world's two biggest economies. and the scores. as we continue the perfect start the italian league sees. turning our attention to the middle east from the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees are on strike in gaza today because of the united states decision to pull its funding run schools hospitals camps and social services

for millions of palestinians in the middle east joins us live now from in front of a school in garza that has been directly affected by the strike harry give us a sense of how many people are on strike and in real terms what it means for say the school you're out today. well i just say we've we've come away from the school actually now to speak to the director of an era in gaza much a smile we talked to just to give you the the picture of oh we're talking about thirteen thousand locally engaged in raw stuff who are on strike today among the services provided as you say education two hundred seventy four schools which have been closed twenty two medical centers sixteen food distribution centers they're doing this it all traces back to that that u.s. decision to cut funding more than three hundred million u.s. dollars withheld this year and then the subsequent decision from the trumpet ministration to end its assistance to enron entirely and so on right has been

looking for savings it's been looking for other sources of funding throughout the year and the workers they say that they have been unfairly targeted that one hundred of them have been either fired or been moved to early retirement already and six hundred by the end of this year face losing their jobs or at least having their status diminished severely i'm joined by as i say the director here in gaza. what's your response to that the staff here in gaza being unfairly targeted as a result of these comes. from my perspective that's nonsense we are not targeting every anyone in gaza and certainly not our staff if you lose your biggest funding source if you lose nineteen million out of one hundred ten million dollars that we spent last year on our emergency appeal related work then you have to adjust and all this emergency appeal related work funds food for one million people from some cash for work and community mental health again if you lose the main financial

support for this you have to adjust and sadly that then leads all sorts of consequences for stuff the good story is we are able to continue the food till the end of the year and i sometimes wish some of our staff and our unions would see also that the glass is half full not half empty. i mean for instance we've been speaking to one man he takes home twelve hundred dollars a month and that supports an entire family of extended family including his brothers twenty eight people so this is the aid is one thing the wages are also a kind of aid and they say that not enough is being done in terms of looking for other ways out giving people voluntary redundancy or early retirement on less sort of force terms i let me first of all say i fully appreciate that losing your job or losing income by moving to a part time is devastating in a context where unemployment rates are at fifty percent where poverty rates are at

over seventy percent so i'm not trying to justify it is as a good measure especially in a context like these and again we are forced to do this and i would say on behalf of management we are doing everything we can to make the journey for people affected as smooth as possible so there are in fact at least fifty people who already gotten had some retirement package as i said instead of firing over five hundred people we moved them to part time to at least keep them with a source of income and insurance payments etc so i just simply refute the claim that we're just sitting here you know playing chess with people's lives with trying to do what we can to ensure service delivery the food service and to do what we can for the affected stuff and in terms of those services in terms of the aid where are we now in terms of the that the funding crisis that your organization has been battling all year we've talked about the adjustments we've had to make in our emergency appeal work you will be aware that a few weeks ago we did open our schools for the new school year deal even though we

have continued serious funding gap at the time our commissioner general said we only have money to take us through till the end of september now we've received a bit of money since then and there is at it as part of the opening of the general assembly of the united nations in new york this week thursday. major meeting in new york to see whether more money can be mobilized as things stand we hope that we are now safe at least two of the end of october but not the end of the year yet and so at the at this point as we're talking the situation is that we're managing month month by month and of course it's no way to run a business you know including two hundred seventy four schools if you have to do this month by month instead of being able to plan sustainably for a whole school year so far the other countries have stepped up as you say so far in this piecemeal fashion but now that we know that the united states is not coming back to the table in terms of its very major funding of this organization is there

now an opportunity to get the the required funding from other countries on a long term sustainable basis i think that's an open question i first of all have to acknowledge that as you in implied that a number of countries have stepped up this year we've got for example a total of one hundred fifty million dollars fifty million each from qatar saudi arabia and the u.a.e. the big question is whether this is sustainable we don't know at this point whether this was a one off sort of emergency support measure or whether some of these countries will be stepping into that gap that the united states has left our hope certainly is and that's what we work for every day to find more sustainable replacement funding arrangements as it works ok thank you very much for talking to us and so that's the situation here in gaza today the strike goes on but beyond that the need of more than half the population here the palestine refugees who live inside this territory

continues to go on as well and solutions for trying to plug this funding gap are still being sought thanks very much. time the prime minister to resign may hold her first cabinet meeting since he really does rejected her plan at this summit in salzburg and says may is expected to come of intense pressure from. through breaks at m.p.'s to ditch plan and to accept a free trade deal the stalemate is prompting the opposition labor party to push for a second referendum they're meeting in liverpool to decide their stance that's where paul brennan correspondent joins us live from here on the news hour paul the official labor line is all options are on the table what does that mean. for the preference of the labor leadership remains for a general election if no deal can be reached with the european union but the leadership jeremy corbin and his colleagues are coming under snowballing pressure

from labor members to actually offer the option of a second vote now the dynamic the leadership faces is that the labor members the wishes may not actually necessarily tally with the wishes of the broader traditional labor supporters many of which voted in support of bracks it's so the labor leadership met late into the night for last night they've come up with a two page composite motion which will be voted on by conference here in liverpool and the crucial twenty two words are as follows if we cannot get a general election labor to support all options remaining on the table including campaigning for a public vote two important things to raise from that first of all that the kaviak of a general election and second of all what would the wording of that public vote be labor is very wary of that the question would be posed would be written by the ruling conservative party so they want to keep their options open but it's not going to go down well i don't think we many of labor's traditional supporters start

labor members. how do you think that will be received more broadly across the country paul in as much as it seems a bit of a fudge it seems from this distance as if labor time themselves in knots and yesterday you were telling us whoa there is a sense across the u.k. that people just want something. to happen because you know everyone is saying they're looking at the m.p.'s and they're kind of going what if you've been doing for more than two years now. yes. the problem i think that the labor leadership has of the jeremy corbyn a many of his colleagues are personally euro skeptic but they have little affection for the european union but the labor members who swarms to the party in in the tens of thousands ahead of last year's general election were mainly young voters who are more sympathetic towards the european union and cleaner to stay within the e.u. as a point yet so there we have the dynamic between traditional labor voters and the sentiments

of the labor leadership and this new membership that has come in and is kind of driving the agenda driving the debate here i think the reaction what i've been looking at the reaction for example on social media and the fight has not gone down very well at all i mean political commentators saying basically labor will vote against whatever deal to resubmit comes back with their push for a general election they'll fail to get one and then they've come pain for a public vote on a deal that they've already rejected at parliament and other actions labor leadership confounds it's hard wretched stance labor is a party just like the tories seven other another person on twitter and then finally probably the most extreme of all right that's it labor is dead in the press it water you can see it's not going down well with those people who hoped that jeremy corbin's apparent willingness to consider a vote has been couched in these very french terms ok paul thanks a lot. funeral processions have been held in iran for some of the people who were killed in saturday's attack on a military parade in the country has declared

a day of mourning for the twenty five victims many of those who died were members of the military but others including the child and a journalist president hassan rouhani has accused the u.s. of helping support those who carried out the attack and i.q. zation washington has denied. well the attack has raised tensions between tehran and washington as leaders from both countries prepared to address the u.n. general assembly this week diplomatic head of the james bays has more on what we can expect in the coming days they are words that will go down in the history of the united nations the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its our lives we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. the fahri rhetoric by donald trump in his first visit here as u.s. president stunned diplomats a year on relations between north korea and the u.s. we improved but no one expects the u.s.

president will spend three days this time at the u.n. to be much more restrained this year watch what happens in the united nations is most powerful body the security council around the horseshoe table where ambassadors normally sit they'll be presidents and prime ministers although russia and china will only be sending their foreign ministers as the u.s. happens to have the monthly rotating presidency president trump will chair the meeting and it's already clear this year he has iran in his sights earlier in the year he finally pulled the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal and agreement the u.s. and its allies had made with iran to end its nuclear program in twenty fifteen while the other signatories are still technically in the deal it looks to be in deep trouble when i asked the un secretary-general antonio good terrorists about it he didn't sound confident it would survive is he dead it's not clear that a lot of contacts have been taking place

a lot of negotiation have been taking place between different members they. and so i think that is an effort u.s. secretary of state might pompei i will also chair a security council meeting the day after president trump this time on north korea the situation has changed dramatically in a year trump seems to trust kim jong un the contrast with his approach to iran is something likely to be causing much discussion among the leadership in tehran according to a former obama administration official who dealt with both countries so i think there are some around ians or say also why we need a nuclear weapons and if we had nuclear weapons then we could get his attention and we could get his endorsement of us the same way that trump is indorsed kim jong un there is too it's a. listen the north koreans have a completely different security situation they're able to threaten south korean a way that we're not anybody else maybe we need to do that leaders from around the world are here in new york but events of the united nations

a likely to be dominated by president trump and the u.s. leader is also likely to be in all the headlines diplomats say that an unfortunate distraction from many of the pressing issues that leader should be dealing with james plays out zero of the united nations. known a few moments we'll have the world weather for you with everson but also still to come here on the news hour new allegations of sexual misconduct against the u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh and in the sports team europe lifts his. second straight time and he's here with that story in about twenty minutes. by the springtime flower of a mountain lake. to the first snowfall on a winter's day. as a possibility of some flooding into work carol are over the next couple of days

a growing trade war between the world's two biggest economies the us is now imposed three rounds of tariffs on a total of two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese made goods and that means about half of all chinese imports to the u.s. have these levees all know china has already hit the u.s. with tariffs of fifty billion dollars of imports and it's pledged to see. another sixteen billion dollars of american made goods brunell's another u.s. tariffs on chinese products could hurt small businesses back home in america. how many yet is trying to keep its family thirty year old toys business afloat. president donald trump's tariffs on chinese exports aren't helping so we're human to come from majority of it actually comes from china comes here and depending on the brand and where they anticipate to make the production run and there's

a link to china i'm directly into china. these pop culture vinyl figures are wildly popular with kids and millennialist alike but the new list of tariffs includes toys so costs will go up big corporations are able to adjust which manufactures but you know a small shops like us we have to roll with the punches and try to figure out changing our actual business strategy in order to adapt and evolve president be pleased to note that you can buy this figurine of him here at tom's models for about eighty dollars and of course it's made in china what he might not be so happy about is the chorus of criticism from businesses large and small over his china trade policy. wal-mart the country's biggest retailer told the trumpet ministration quote the immediate impact will be to raise prices on consumers and tax american business the

head of the u.s. chamber of commerce which lobbies for big business in washington says a trade war is the single biggest threat to the economy right now very few people in the business community have embraced these tariffs because they see them and as not helping them competitively for the most part consumers are bearing the brunt of this one mega company that escaped negative fallout from the china tariffs is apple c.e.o. tim cook huddled with trump at a white house state dinner in april urging him to exempt components for the apple watch and other company products how long will this trade battle last no one knows the one thing that business truly hates is uncertainty back at tom's models tom and yet this is trying to keep calm amid the trade turmoil going to take time

for the end result to happen to see if these terrorists are beneficial towards the u.s. or detrimental. now. trumps tariffs taking their toll from tech to choice rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles ok let's bring in a friend of the gun is a political analyst on china and investment banker he joins us from beijing and i see trade talks of being cold all they have been counseled right but does that mean overall the relationship is going from bad to do you think. well it's going really very very poorly and if you put it in conjunction with the context of the what the u.s. has said to china about its military trade with russia imposing sanctions on a state owned company this is really getting serious basically donald trump has declared that the entire era when the u.s.

led the world and created all these mechanisms mechanisms like the united nations the if you know it's after is over he's imposing unilateral sanctions across the board and it doesn't matter if it's military or what are our or economic or is there a time issue here that maybe washington and beijing could focus in on because domestic business in the states and in china are i guess to a saying the same thing the time difference all the time between the announcements whether it's from washington to beijing or the other way around and the implementation of those announcements that time period is too small and the people who have being hit by this don't have enough time to find an alternative a way around the situation. well you're assuming that that consideration by donald trump i think a lot of this is motivated politically he has a very contentious upcoming midterm election he has he's being pursued on all levels even by his former staff people who obviously leaked quite

a bit of information on these different books that have come out and it's not coincidental that whenever there is a crisis that's pointing towards him as you'll see an announcement such as he made today about north korea about trade military sanctions he's intent on controlling the media outlet and the conversation that's going there and absence drawing up all the oxygen so that you cannot possibly have other stories what's your reading of this line that came out i think yesterday this time yesterday on the folks news network the current trumpet ministration saying look we didn't start the trade war the trade war has been ongoing we've just got involved in it. well this is this is what the narrative that they're spending in washington the idea is that the u.s. is the aggrieved party that imposing unilateral sanctions on china is somehow was

actually started by china in some way you know quite frankly if there had been dry ammunition and a lot of good cases they would have gone to the w t o and sought enforcement there the u.s. has won eighty seven percent of the cases that had it has brought to the so there's no reason to believe that if they had a good case they couldn't bring it but instead i mean it's very clear whether it's climate change nato the u.n. . whatever multilateral organization he's not in favor of he sees a world with the u.s. at the center and everyone else is a spoke that leads out through a bilateral deal where the u.s. can use its larger size political economic and military to john to me to get the best deal possible and this is the way he sees the world this is the way he sees it as a businessman you get everything you possibly can on the table. in beijing many thanks

to. the u.k.'s biggest and often most controversial op competition is set to open at tate britain very soon four finalists have been selected to compete for the turner prize some of the work speech at the sea of focus on human rights and she joins us live from london over to you. well yes the tiger prize is the best known visual arts prize in the world and every year without fail it seems to irritate and delight audiences in equal measure but they always embrace that controversy because the point is to promote public debate around new developments in british contemporary art and this year i don't think so many members of the public will be coming away scratching their heads wondering what it's all about like they did with artist tracey emin's bed in one nine hundred ninety nine because this is the works immediately accessible of political and to explain a little bit more about those words i've got the curator lindsay young with me here

who's going to tell me a little bit about the line up to this right so yes this year there are four nominees as ever and they are charlotte project equal as thompson forensic architecture and nyima jaimie and and all four of those artists are dealing with some of the most pressing political issues of our day they're looking at borders and migration about clear identity police brutality state and corporate violence things that are very current and present in our lives so forensic architecture particularly come to our notice especially because they've used some of the al-jazeera arabic footage in their investigation piece hid looking at the killing in israel they a collective baka terex lawyers scientists software developers they say that they don't actually consider themselves all to so why do you think they've been included so they call themselves a research agency their basic goldsmiths here in london and they contain artists architects three d. modelers lawyers and investigative journalists a whole gamut of people and they were selected by the jury for three exhibitions

that they've made in the past year one was documented another month from barcelona and then it a solo exhibition at the i.c.a. in london so they very much work with an exhibition making practice that's one of the platforms that they work and. what really strikes me when you come into the gallery is the three dark entrances taking you into each artist's why. each artist is using moving image smartphones all adopting new technology and can you tell me a bit about this phenomenon of new technology in this work in general but it's very much new and old in the turner prize this year so you they're all working with moving image but in very different ways so charlotte's using an i phone to make her films liquids thompsons using thirty five and sixty millimeter film friends a carcass at your use websites the use of photographs and videos sourced from the public as well as three modeling and my name is using archival footage and i think the proliferation of moving image reflects the world that we live in you know you

will have watched a video on instagram's morning or on a news website it's something that's increasingly common in our lives it's a very flexible medium and it's one that is can be relatively affordable to to work and earn and thank you so much lindsay so the turner prize will be on here the tate britain and they will be announcing the winner on december the fourth and that's when one of these nominees will be receiving fifty thousand dollars in prize money which will invariably change their careers charlie thank you second woman has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh the allegations go back to cavanaugh's time at yale it comes as the senate judiciary committee prepares to hold a hearing on thursday at the capitol and christine blasi for the first woman who said he sexually assaulted her as a teenager john hendren has more now from washington. it is a bombshell to the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the u.s. supreme court there are new allegations of sexual misconduct by the judge in an

article in the new yorker magazine a woman says that in college and yale from the one nine hundred eighty three to one thousand nine hundred four there she attended university with kavanagh at a drunken party she says he exposed himself belligerently to her and she says she did not talk about this previously because she was embarrassed by the incident and feel guilty because she had been drinking cavanaugh out right denies that is ever happened issuing a statement saying this alleged events from thirty five years ago did not happen the people who knew me then know that this did not happen and have said so this is a smear plain and simple and the white house issued a statement saying it stands behind kavanagh saying this thirty five year old uncorroborated claim is the latest in a coordinated smear campaign by the democrats to.
