well they're saying that they will continue with the pressure and till a civilian government or is formed or a transitional government is formed it comes down to the opposition and the military council and the mediation in the middle there the opposition today had a presser there saying that they do not mind a mediation in the middle but they do not want the military in control so it comes down to how the mediators handled the two sides african union special envoy today also came to her to him and he said that he's trying to mediate not just between the opposition coalition and the military council but between the various stakeholders and international international actors to try to be united so that a transitional government is formed the a you of course has given our sudan sixty days to form a transitional government but again there and they're not any closer to forming a transitional government today than they were when the system started last month today marks exactly a month since a certain started but they're not closer to forming a transitional government so the protesters outside in front of the army headquarters are battling a temperature of forty five degree celsius saying that they are going to stay there and till a transitional civilian government is formed thank you. now the international

criminal court has ruled not to refer to jordan to the un security council for failing to arrest the former sudanese president omar bashir two years ago he was wanted by the i.c.c. for crimes committed in darfur by militias aligned to his government the court says jordan should have arrested by showing up on its request when he visited a man in march twenty seventeen a share was that attend the arab league summit stephanie because more from the hague. it took more than half an hour for the judge to read out the background and the verdict of jordan's appeal basically unanimous of all judges saying that jordan should have handed over the form a sudanese president omar al bashir to the i.c.c. when he visited a man in two thousand and seventeen but they will no longer be referring jordan to the un security council it really had to do with the issue of immunity of a head of state sudan is not a signatory to the i.c.c. but jordan is now the judges here ruling that omar al bashir did not enjoy that

immunity that jordan failed under its legal obligation as a signatory to hand him over but the bigger question really is this is where does the i.c.c. stand what kind of power does it have what are the consequences of actions like this the case against him all bashir the arrest warrant has been out for ten years now the i.c.c. accusing bashir of genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity he is of course at the moment in a high security prison in sudan the sudanese military has said he will not be handing him over and that they intend to try him in sudan. the syrian government is intensifying an offensive in the last rebel held province in the country there soldiers but by russian airstrikes dozens of people have been killed in the last week a reporter from beirut. it's been a week since the military escalation began russian air power is supporting pro syrian government troops in what has been a relentless campaign hundreds of air and artillery strikes are targeting villages

across northern hummer and southern. civilians many women and children are being killed in the worst escalation since the cease fire came into force in september hospitals that were preemptively evacuated have been destroyed so have gas stations homes schools destroying facilities has been a tactic in previous offensives it is to make life unbearable for the people. to depopulate the area force people to leave that's the first step so that there was an advance on the ground but they don't how the hell my brother but the area under fire is within what was supposed to be a demilitarized zone agreed between russia and turkey as part of the ceasefire deal the offensive does not appear to be a full assault across the rebel held province the focus seems to be on controlling the m four and m five international highways that connect the provinces of hama and

aleppo. the roads pass through at lib mainly the towns of just the show who are. no man to achieve that goal pro-government forces need to advance north into the planned buffer zone where the turkish military has observation posts he was told this area turkey's parliament just overlook so there's going to be a lot of thoughts even now in the future between turkey and russia if the turks join us and us and russia if everybody will stay in this area the way they're there right now. well it's a lot more costs in france or behind you. this is how serious stakeholders have negotiated in the past two years military pressure has and continues to be used fighting is escalating but at the same time turkish officials say they are in talks with russia concerning the deployment of their forces in

syria turkey wants russia's approval to move into areas under the control of the kurdish y p g not just in northern aleppo but east of the euphrates as well russia for its part wants its allies to use the highways and live to revive trade. must go into baskets describe the assault as a fight against terrorism but it is causing immense suffering the united nations says three hundred thousand syrians who live in the area of hostilities large numbers have already made their way north towards the border with turkey how many more will be made homeless may depend on the outcome of the latest round of bargaining send her there beirut but also also to come here in the news hour including investigators in russia get closer to finding out the cause of this fire . the kenyan running champion aiming to hit a tunnel target many believe it's impossible.

now life on earth is in decline with more species threatened with extinction than a any time in history and us humans are to blame that's part of the findings of a un agency responsible for assessing the state of our planet almost five hundred experts work together for three years destruction of natural habitats cutting down trees climate change pollution and plunder of the land and sea are all singled out as major drivers of the decline around a million plant and animal species face extinction many within decades if we do not act the report's authors insist the decline can be slowed though even stopped in some cases but it will require a global commitment to make that change well the dash of bottles that unesco headquarters in paris and joins us now live natasha so the u.n. report paints a very bleak picture of the state of the natural world just how serious is this

biodiversity crisis. while the environmental researchers and scientists behind this report say it's extremely serious they calling this a crisis of nature they're saying that you know people have for decades basically been a depleting the earth's resources destroying plots and insects that is so key in vital to support the planet they're often called the planet's life support system biodiversity they say must be protected because if it isn't then even humans will be at risk they won't be able to for example continue to produce the sort of food that they need in the future what with me to talk about all this new bit more is patricia about the now she is a professor a biologist with the national university of mexico patricia one of the interesting parts of the report you worked on with some of the causes of the decline in bio diversity what is driving this decline first thank you very much for the invitation

them very glad to be talking to you all so the main. causes of changes by the versity the direct one are five land use change exploitation in climate change invasive species and pollution let me explain so we are changing the way the earth looks and the ocean look basically the main driver is agriculture and basically we use seventy five percent of the surface of the earth to raise crops and cattle second the second source is extraction we extract so much materials to meet our needs every day we eat by the versity we construct our house with by the first of the we heal ourselves with biodiversity so we extract say sixty billion tons of materials for nature every year. so we are deeply the third climate change we have heard

a lot there are changes in temperature that leads to changes in the frequency of extreme events to the rise of the sea pollution pollution we really are not aware but today we are more aware of plastic in only from one thousand nine hundred eighty to today the amount of plastic has risen ten times finally invasive species are species that are five found and that by arriving to a different environment they completely change things so these are the five causes of changes in by the proceed so what you hoping that this report will change once again is in space to motivate governments to change it to fit us to change what can we do so these reports beyond document in these things is basically trying to find the root causes so the root causes for these changes have to do with the increasing per capita. consumption basically in more developed countries we consume

four times more developed countries so consumption is an important part of the global economy has risen four times since one nine hundred seventy but also trade has risen ten times so the idea is to show how these are interconnected and then can be valid strategies that are directed to governments to intergovernmental. governments talking to each other but also to each individual in society to be more mindful about their consumption and their links to buy the person and in a country like mexico tell us a bit about how vital and important biodiversity is there of course is the important goal of the world but you talking about how in mexico it's particularly close to people's hearts so mexico is one of the tanner five depending on the category most diverse countries. but it's not just about the biological diversity

it's also the noiseless people however by the worse it is so every day in every meal we see a diverse species diverse ways of preparing and this so in close to our heart so for us it's very important we are very aware of the importance of biodiversity and we really have very strong institutional institutions in the government are very aware and have amazing databases on where is this biodiversity and what the best to do with it all right patricia about an era thank you very much from the university of mexico and of course the authors of this report including patricia hope that this will be a wake up call really to governments to businesses to individuals to do more to protect bio diversity of course for future generations natasha thank you well fish species are in danger around the world some because of global warming increasing ocean temperatures are threatening the arctic cold fish considered to be a delicacy around the world al-jazeera is nick clark reports some of the first islands are not techno way. this is what made norway rich long before oil

told all scray in the millions killed drawing rocks across the photon highlands winter off the winter fishermen here have cashed in on the annual migration south from the barents sea it is a tradition that goes back thousands of years the cold is cold it's got it and then it's hold out to dry for several months and what you end up with is a dried fish retains nearly one hundred percent of its nutrition apprise delicacy it's only to nigeria this is what supplied the vikings all my long voyages to far off lands and still now is a big part of the norwegian economy with millions of dollars the fish comes from the barents sea and its goals to look for to spawn. and that's because of the atlantic stream to the left extreme it stops by locals and brings food it brings that higher temperature even though it's not warm but it's high high enough to

spawn and it's a very delicate ecosystem in lawful that fragility is spelled out by a remove scientific research as a changing climate and warmer ocean temperatures upset the balance of the marine ecosystem meaning the scray may be forced out and then it's a question of where they go obviously if things keep warming some of those true polar species might. not have a whole lot of places to go if they're being out competed by sort of these other species moving north. might see some considerable changes there this year give nielsen cold thirteen thousand kilos of cold it's been a pretty good season but he's worried about the future climate change could change everything. they're called suddenly stopped because they'd be warmer and going at lower and lower north so then being we have a big program every year is spring comes the called leave their return has always

been a certainty and in the city not just for the fishermen but if the seals see birds and whales that feed on them now this extraordinary feat of nature is under threat the outcome as ever depends on the political will to act in a time of global crisis. al-jazeera let's go to night and norway. now democrats in the u.s. say they'll stop contempt seedings against the attorney general if he doesn't hand over the full report on the russian meddling william bar was given until monday to turn over uncensored version of the russian report on the long evidence to congress but barr who was appointed by trumped a so far refused the request or committee i'll get joins us live now from washington d.c. kimberly so the attorney general could be held in contempt of cop. doesn't release the full on reductive mother report but william bo isn't budging on this is he so what happens now. well the first thing that happens is there will be

a vote in the house judiciary committee we know that scheduled for wednesday but that's just the first of a process the wheels of congress move very slowly there and it would still have to go to the wider house of representatives in order for william barr to be held in contempt of congress now this is really an escalation in a showdown between the trump white house and the democrats in congress particularly in the house of representatives the body of the lower chamber that they control there is not just one but multiple committees that are looking for a number of things not just the un redacted version of the muller report which looked into whether or not there was russian collusion with the truck campaign in two thousand and sixteen but also whether there was obstruction of justice that's what this committee wants the redacted copy of the most report to look at because they believe that perhaps william barr the attorney general pointed by donald trump that he is in fact hiding information or protecting the president from potential misconduct they say and argue that they have

a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and this is why they're pushing to try and held in contempt of congress the attorney general in order to try and get this documentation it's a lengthy process the deron not just because they will take a while to go through the sort of the process in congress but this could go to a civil court matter as well and could take years to resolve but could result in jail time potentially i mean welcome to the u.s. treasury centricity the missions deciding whether to comply with house requests for donald trump's tax returns i mean this is becoming a really big issue so how is it likely to play out. yeah well we already know that there have been two missed deadlines for the treasury secretary steve. we know that he is due to tell the house of representatives again democratic controlled committee whether or not he will turn over those tax returns it's not likely because we know from donald trump he says said expressly to his cabinet that he

does not want this information turned over he's made this clear and again there are multiple committees that are trying to get this information something that this white house is pushing back on so we expect to fight the president as candid it was not willing to turn over this information they're lying repeatedly from this white house has been that this was something that the american voter knew and still they elected donald trump into the white house without his tax information so don't expect that this will be turned over willingly the bottom line is this is just another escalation in this fight between this republican controlled white house and the democrats who control the house of representatives is calling to continue to escalate with the first deadline now not just with their eyes on these tax returns of whether or not they will be turned over unlikely but also wednesday when we'll see that first vote in an attempt to control or rather hold the attorney general in contempt of congress all right secondly how can they in washington d.c.

can really thank you. russian investigators have recovered flight data from a plane that cold front as it made an emergency landing in moscow on sunday at least forty one people were killed during the moment as the story. planes best from air flow to fight both hundred ninety two as it came in for an emergency landing at moscow's sheremetyevo airport and bounced off the runway. by the time the sukhoi superjet one hundred came to a halt it was engulfed in fire seventy eight passengers and crew onboard. only thirty seven made it off alive the flight to taken off from the same airport just that he minutes earlier heading for the northern city of months. the airline said it was forced to turn around due to technical reasons flight radar tracking shows it circled twice over moscow before making the emergency landing russian investigators have launched a criminal inquiry. to some i looked on there were seventy three passengers and

five crew members twenty eight passengers and now at the airport terminal investigators on psychologists are working with them five people have been hospitalized thirty seven out of seventy eight people on board of the plane survived thirty three passengers and four crew members the superjet one hundred came into service in russia and twenty eleven the first new passenger jet developed since the fall of the soviet union a year later a plane on a demonstration tool to indonesia crashed on a killing all forty five people on board that accident was blamed on human error through the intensity of the fire it may consume a lot of physical evidence so we'll have to wait and see i didn't see any. rescue equipment in the early pictures at the scene so that may be an issue as well where was the equipment and what kind of equipment they have available to put the fire out but the recorders will give us some indication and this type of action i think

the the cockpit voice recorder may be most beneficial this i believe is the third accident in total for this type of airplane and so it's it's been proven to be a pretty reliable platform. so it's going to be interesting to see what comes out of it. has struggled to convince international airlines to buy its jets proving the planes safe will be crucial to the future of a project that had been a source of russian pride. at least fifty five people have been killed and dozens more seriously injured when a fuel tanker exploded in the capital it happened overnight in the airport district near the station at least thirty people were taken to hospital. when we come back. to the corruption that's going on. we examine the reasons behind

a rise in voter apathy among young. men in sport find out why the effort to win one of america's biggest horse races is still going on today. stay with us. hello there we've got yet another weather system that's making its way across turkey at the moment take a look at the satellite picture we can see the cloud is coming up from the northeastern parts of africa and then making its way a few showers across lebanon and then up towards parts of turkey where we're seeing the majority of those showers the whole system is working its way eastwards we'll see more showers over parts of georgia there as we head into wednesday yet more wet weather for us particularly northern parts of turkey as we head through the day for the south is hot now in baghdad will see a temperature of around thirty three and as we head through towards terror on the

temperatures are also on the rise here will be up to twenty eight of course with the heart of the neither of those places around thirty eight at the moment i think for tuesday we'll see the winds coming down from the northwest so that should be a clearer direction not quite as much hazy weather around but clouds on too far away and it looks like that we back as we head through the day a wednesday quite a few areas of cloud over parts of saudi arabia in the northeast and also in bahrain as well so a lot of those thirty two degrees should be our maximum temperature down towards a southern parts of africa and the majority of the showers here are in the southern parts of i'm not quite a bit of cloud here over the southern parts of south africa that's making things here a little bit cooler than they might be otherwise we'll see a top temperature in cape town of around eighteen degrees. the climate is changing and time is running out to have seen our like.

in the new series earthrise meet some of the people driving the struggle to save the environment as are telling us that we have just twelve years to make i pressed on any changes to transform every part of our economy and our society throws coming soon on it's just. becoming a living legend to the young age was simply not enough. he transformed his influence. so the pitch it's a political clout the book peace to the ivory coast. hosted by eric cantona football rebels begins with a look at the life of. the football he succeeded with politicians of no. d.h. and the odd boy and so. on i'll just say. welcome

back to the top stories on al-jazeera a ceasefire to end the violence in the gaza strip in southern israel appears to be holding the deal for the three days of rocket attacks on gaza and israeli strikes on the palestinian territories. democrats in the u.s. say they'll start contempt proceedings against the attorney general if he doesn't hundred of the full mana report on russian meddling in the embalmers given up on monday to turn over an uncensored version to congress and a un report says a million species are at risk of extinction because of human activity it says nature is in more trouble than any other time in human history. now the u.s. is deploying an aircraft carrier group to the middle east to send what it calls a clear message to iran the u.s.s. abraham lincoln and support ships have been dispatched national security advisor

john bolton says it's a response to what he called troubling developments in the region resembles robbie has more than. we can point to is comments made by first of all the foreign minister zarif in the recent past foreshadowing something like this during a recent trip to new york he was on a media blitz and he told various american news networks that when tensions are heightened that accidents can take place and no doubt the presence of more american military presence in the region. will likely increase a so-called accident that might happen in and around the waters surrounding the country we also can look to recent comments by the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei in which he also foreshadowed something like this and let me read to you a statement he made during a speech earlier this month at the beginning of this month to a group of teachers he said that in the face of this battle formation by the united states that iran had to take a battle formation as well and the most important thing to do was to stay united he also said that every one of the people and the officials must prepare themselves

for this aggression and wherever they are they must take responsibility to enter the battlefield so a lot of war rhetoric in this what is still very much a war of words but iranian leaders are taking john bolton's hawkishness in iran very seriously in a few days we'll see it'll be one year since the united states pulled out of the joint comprehensive plan of action the anniversary of that will be on may eighth and leading up to that we are expecting to hear more strong rhetoric from various senior leaders here into her own well let's talk to mom around the entire army is a professor of english and oriental studies of the university of tehran but it's not unusual for a u.s. aircraft carrier group to be dispatched to the goals so we've seen this before but what makes this deployment much more significant than what's the difference this time around. i think it's part of a psychological warfare campaign being carried out by the united states because actually when u.s.

aircraft carriers are in the persian gulf region that means that there is much less chance for military conflict because these are very easy targets ever since iraq was the united states decided to invade iraq in two thousand and three the united the iranians have been preparing themselves for a potential war with the united states and alongside the persian gulf and the indian ocean they may have all sorts of underground installations it's like lebannon multiplied by a hundred so the iranians have antiship missiles they have all sorts of high tech equipment well placed well protected and the americans know that so bringing an aircraft carrier or two aircraft carriers into the region actually in my opinion means that there's less chance for conflict the u.s. national security adviser john bolton says the u.s. is acting in response to a number of troubling escalatory indications and warnings but he was very short on specifics so what exactly is iran being accused of now.

well the united states accuses iran of everything and this is not just this administration the only thing left that iran hasn't been accused of is global warming and that may be next on the list we've just heard senior american officials say that has it were lies in venezuela these sort of outrageous statements made by americans are widely believed in the united states by a very gullible population and the american media has been weaponized even though there is a major conflict going on in the united states between trump and is an antagonist when it comes to foreign policy in the corporate media and the western media by and large they are very much in line with u.s. foreign policy so be the accusations made by iran are basically to justify further . escalations but i think i think the mood in tehran is that there is

very little chance for war because at the end of the day the issue of closing the strait of hormuz is something that the iranians really don't want iran wants to do business but if there is a war the strait of hormuz would be a really insignificant all the oil installations all the tankers all the facilities in the persian gulf would be destroyed that would lead to a global economic catastrophe that we haven't seen since the great russian in one thousand twenty all right mohammad marandi a final thought from you i mean there seems to be some confusion over the trumpet ministrations goal here because john bolton says the u.s. doesn't want a war with iran but they made no secret of their infuses asm for regime change in tehran so what is the u.s. and game here do you think. i think the objective has always been even before this the current regime in washington it has been to overthrow this pharmac republic of iran that the main part of the us policy in the region is based upon the israeli regime and the needs of the israeli regime in what

we see as an apartheid regime and therefore in order to strengthen israel they will do anything that's necessary and right now with the whole issue of the deal of the century which is obviously going to be a betrayal of the whole nation of palestine they were arkansas are trying to prepare the ground and part of this is through escalation with iran mahmoud marandi thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera. thank you. u.s. president donald trump is stepping up pressure on china to resolve their trade dispute trump says the u.s. will raise tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese products to twenty five percent on friday his announcement comes two days before officials from both countries are shuttled to resume trade talks stock markets reacted nervously the losses in the u.s. hong kong and shanghai china says his team is to are preparing to head to the u.s. for talks despite president trump's threat to raise tariffs later this week. i

think the top priority now is that the u.s. and china could work together and meet each other halfway today you can see spaced on mutual respect growth which is not only in line with the interests of china and the u.s. there but also makes the expectation of the international community. only. now millions of young south africans won't be voting in wednesday's general election some of them say they're turning their backs on politics because they feel ignored me the miller reports now from malarkey. cosmetics i legit displaying fake honesty but i would bet it but we do know it's broken if in fact his expression of i'm for broke trying to get a degree people told me to get into if we shared the life that i've been it's through music there twenty elizondo expresses how he wants to change his life but the twenty two year old student belongs to a group of musicians our. host

a first time voters in this election care about do you feel like the issues as a guy who's twenty six students are those issues being addressed not necessarily what will still wait now those people of all political parties making a lot of promises that don't deliver but now we just stuck in the middle we just have to make a choice any random choice right now i just feel like i'm just going to vote in vain because i've been given the opportunity of two votes not because i feel like the urge to vote i'm just gonna vote in vain to be honest with you i think there's a lot of corruption in politics and that's why. for me i'm stepping away from politics is. interested in clinton's cause the corruption that's going. to be under a few. hundred piers let me get a degree people told me to get into which i had a life that i didn't bother with the things that i think i'm seeing this kind of progressive we hope in science and history the end of jobs and the systems of why

they should have all this amongst the group is an information technology graduate and a civil engineering student they both worry they won't find jobs when they qualify like in question article he's been without work for years and the qualified entertainment thing is not working. in applying applying apply still i have nothing. that's my reason lots of world government statistics show that half of young people don't have jobs more than nine million south africans why eligible to vote haven't registered more than five million of them are under thirty the number of young people aged between eighteen and nineteen hoover where just had to vote for the first time has dropped by almost half compared to the last election five years ago many young people feel that instead of voting their voices of bitter hurt in other ways in the last three years thousands of students have protested against high university and demanding free education for students from low income families

if you look at the poverty line this is it and this is the people so it doesn't make sense for us to just keep on voting just for the sake of faulty that apathy may hurt the ruling african national congress the party scene is responsible for liberating black south africans from a part eight many young voters say the freedom they enjoy today means little if their government is corrupt crime levels are rising and they don't have jobs from al-jazeera durban south africa. in the latest in our series a life displaced we traveled to afghanistan where there's a push to register millions of illegal homes and get residents to pay property tax a quarter of the population lives in informal settlements that's homes without a title or occupancy certificates zero charlotte police reports from jalalabad. this is size sun camp home to thirteen thousand people on the outskirts of jalalabad but here home is not necessarily with

unveil a transition plan as protesters continue their demands for civilian rule the military and protest leaders are deadlocked over who control the government the two sides agreed to form a joint military civilian council last week but they failed to agree on the members of that council a coalition of opposition parties have submitted draft proposal for a way forward while he joins us live now from khartoum he does so what more do we know about this transition plan that the military is hoping to unveil while there and we don't know what the military has approved on but what we do know is that the opposition coalition has presented its idea of a four year transitional period a blueprint if you want to call it basically it says that it wants a civilian independent transitional cabinet a presidential council and a prime ministerial body or an executive cabinet and of legislative assembly that should comprise of between one hundred twenty and one hundred sixty members including forty percent female representation so that is what they want and they said that the civilian should have majority and control over the transitional

period which should be four years now the military is yet to approve on that they said they needed a few days but yesterday the military spokesman said he's optimistic that they're continuing to talk to the opposition coalition and that they are sure that a deal will be reached there are medications between the two sides and both sides have accepted mediations but at the moment they're and they're not any closer to forming a transitional government then they were when president bashir was ousted on the eleventh of april last month and here but how is it slanted to go down then with the opposition on the protesters on the streets who as you know are keeping up the pressure on the military. well the opposition coalition has accepted tentatively that accepted the mediation but the mediators are offering two councils a transitional council made up of civilians and defense council which in which the military will have a majority now the opposition were a little bit split about that until yesterday there is saying that they are not sure if there should be two counsels for the transitional period meanwhile tens of thousands are continuing with the protest in front of the army headquarters now today today marks exactly one month since the system started in front of the army

headquarters there's thing that they're the winning card the pressure card that they are that they have against the military council to hand over power to a civilian government so they're saying that they will be thing in front of the military headquarters it's the holy month of ramadan they will be fasting there and till a transitional government is formed and now that comes down to the opposition and the military council to form one so that civilians can go back home thank you meanwhile the international criminal court has ruled not to refer to jordan to the u.n. security council for failing to arrest the former sudanese president omar al bashir two years ago he is wanted by the i.c.c. for crimes committed in darfur by militias aligned to his government the court says jordan should have arrested bashir as it requested when he visited the capital amman in march twenty seventh team sure was there to attend the arab league summit . that the u.s. is deploying an aircraft carrier group to the middle east to send what it calls a clear message to iran the u.s.s. abraham lincoln and support ships have been dispatched national security advisor

john bolton says it's in response to what he calls troubling developments in the region was saying was rather joins us live now from tehran and so we understand the iranians have responded to this u.s. deployment what more they've been saying. well there and we've been waiting throughout the day waiting all day for some kind of response from the iranians have certainly taken their time and that in the past has been seen as a signal of trying to lessen the significance of u.s. moves being taken against them now that we do have a statement it seems to be a personal attack on john bolton the spokesman for the supreme national security council came on coasts of the issued a statement now we should keep in mind the iranian president hassan rouhani is the head of this council and so it is very much a statement being made under his administration in the statement it reads that bolton lacks military and security understanding his comments are mostly for show based on the accurate monitoring of iran's armed forces the aircraft carrier

abraham lincoln entered the mediterranean sea twenty one days ago and his statement is just for psychological war it goes on to say that it is unlikely the commanders of the u.s. armed forces want to test the capabilities of iran's armed forces now there's a couple of things happening here the iranians see this move as purely psychological not an actual military decision to make some sort of action against iran and they're calling the united states out on it saying this is psychological warfare and they're sending a message to the iranian people in this statement suggesting at the end of it that not even american commanders have faith in the u.s. national security adviser and people don't have to worry about what is simply a move for symbolic purposes and is pure psychological warfare the same thank you. democrats in the u.s. say they'll vote on wednesday to hold the country's top law enforcement officer and continue providing before a report william barr was given until monday to turn over an uncensored version of

the report on the line of atoms to congress who was appointed by trump has so far refused the request. from washington. this is a major escalation in the are ongoing and escalating showdown between donald trump's white house the department of justice and the attorney general that donald trump appointed and the democrats who control the house of representatives specifically the house judiciary committee demanding the on redacted copy of the moeller report that looked into whether there was collusion between russia and donald trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign and whether the president instructed justice or democrats say they have a constitutional obligation to conduct oversight republicans say this matter has been decided and this is nothing more than political theater still because that deadline has come and gone for the attorney general to turn over that redacted copy of the moeller report this now moves to

a vote on wednesday in the house judiciary committee they will decide whether or not to move this to the house of representatives for a broader vote to hold the attorney general william barr in contempt of congress this has serious consequences not only this could this result in a civil court case but this could even result in jail time what we do know though is the process will be long and lengthy in will almost guarantee that there will be negative headlines that this white house will not be happy with. time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back we'll turn the water in pakistan's largest lake into a health hazard class. i'm not interested in politics because the corruption that's going. to be under is. we examine the reasons behind a rise in voter apathy among young south africans long enough to stay with us.
