sources and written notes draft scripts passwords photos and videos related to the afghan files in awe. more than 9000 items the warrant was served under the century old crimes act that the bids publication of classified material it's a very unwelcome and serious development i think for people maybe who aren't in the media business sometimes talking about priests freedom can sound a bit like a cliché it is extremely unusual for an authority to exercise a warrant on a national public broadcaster like this and it is very serious on tuesday police searched the home of annica smita the award winning political editor of the media organization news corp following his story on plans to expand domestic surveillance extremely alarming that incident then used to come on the back of it really suggest it was. the government laser attempting to star me frame of the press which of course is so awful. in recent years amnesty international has been calling for more

aging is locked in a trade war with washington while most close ties with america have been damaged over the war in ukraine. following 70 years of development relations between china and russia have reached the best level yet faced with opportunities for new development we decided to make full use of our experience together maintain our friendship and open up a new era of comprehensive strategic cooperation. muslim just last year we set a goal to reach 100000000000 of bilateral commodities turnover due to the if it's about teams our 2 governments we exceeded this number we have 100000000000 in this year in the 1st quarter of the year trade is also on the increase is already more than 3.4 percent so vast and has more now from moscow. the relationship between both russia and china has reached an unprecedented level that's the message

being and president vladimir putin has sent to the world today they have been signing a series of documents and agreements conjuring up his 20 $2000000000.00 us dollars and interestingly put and sat at a lot of trade to be done in the national currencies russia of course is facing sanctions by the united states because of its crisis in ukraine and also china is facing trade tariffs so they both want to show to the united states that they have other friends as well to turn to last year in 2018 both countries had the highest level of trade after more than $100000000000.00 u.s. dollars and also on the international front russia and china have said that they want to stick to iran deal and also that the solution in north korea should be definitely a peaceful one but we have to bear in mind that the economy of russia of course is a lot smaller than that of china it's only one town so whatever happens in the future and how i'm president of their relationship will be for the time being as

their asylum claims or saddam claims processed in the u.s. from mexico to absorb them into the mexican legal system these are some of the proposals that we were hearing from administration officials in the morning we just started getting leaks there from mexican authorities about the sort of proposals they were bringing to this meeting including the u.s. divert funding currently going to what's called the metadata initiative which is the millions of dollars being spent on stem sibly to fight drug gangs in central america and mexico the diversion of funds from that to develop mexico's southern border area also calls for a marshall plan for central america the marshall plan being the multi $1000000000.00 plan that was funded by the u.s. to rebuild western europe after the 2nd world war and also that the u.s. stops flows of weapons and ammunition to criminal cartels that significantly the leadership position remains they will not accept safe country status so that is

what that was one of the specific measures that u.s. administration officials had mentioned that meaning that being the bad absorb the asylum seekers the potential is over saddam speakers for the u.s. into the mix and system the mexican negotiating position of power remains they will not do that so quite competent actually i we were told not to expect any resolution and from this meeting but we will await a press conference a scheduled book from the mexican foreign minister in the next hour or so if assuming that the talks are finished by them that we'll hear from him then in the meantime obviously president. of the u.k. acetylene europe however the u.s. politicians reacted to the president's tyrant's threats no 5. a certain amount of outrage actually specifically from republicans in the senate who are saying they are not happy about this much rumbling away that perhaps even there may be enough republicans to pass some sort of veto proof measure next week to prevent the terror of scaring into effect on monday having said that there's

a huge credibility problem that we often see the republicans often puff than the end they tend to fall in line with donald trump so it's not clear whether they will follow through on that but certainly expressing that discontent. drop all of this there is this debate as so often the case with all drop as to whether he actually means it or not those white house and trade officials who are on the cable shows over the course of the day suggesting that maybe these tires won't have to come into place will go into effect on monday that this is about getting the mexicans attention so they would come on force to inforce to negotiate at the white house having said that doldrum does believe in tariffs as a political tool so we just we just don't really know do it. she had with hansie with the latest there from washington she had thank you. a large caravan of central american migrants traveling north through mexico have been stopped by mexican authorities around 1000 people were detained by police from a highway about 30 kilometers north of the mexico guatemala border and had set off

welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera more than 100 people are now known to have died in sudan after the military jump began a brutal crackdown on monday the u.k. and un are pulling some of their staff from the country yemen's who the rebels say they've taken control of more than 20 locations in saudi arabian territory and the emergency talks are underway in the white house for mexican officials are trying to stop a 5 percent tariff coming to effect on monday. go back to our top story the military crackdown in sudan ahmed hussain adam is a sudanese lawyer and human rights activists is also a research associate at soas university here in london he's with us in the studio sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so we've obviously seen an escalation of violence in sudan i think the latest figure is 107 dead you know so far that we know of now it seems that the military has said 9 months for an

election do you trust that promise do you think that's enough to calm the waters no this is not nobody actually to reserve you know force stewie right now people are so bitter and this saw now because you know people you know right now they you know you can't just sit you know at the last more than 100 or something because just you know because you don't have the goods so people that are talking about thunderous because you know i mean those are just the people that it's exactly that they think but you know they were promised this people on the this canceled including you know the care of the council and care of the council of not willing to hand over the government to any kind of civilian going because for them power is a shield from their crowd because the committees i mean that negotiations have been going on for so long i mean that the protest started sort of december omar bashir was toppled months ago what do you think these like those. the asians were always

what just a smokescreen or. is just a tactic to buy time there was no serious actually protect or will actually to make any kind of breakthrough or to make any kind of course assurance to civilian rule that that very clear that's why you know they did all of this kind of thing they buy time not but not so that way nobody should trust them that are sure to go ahead with the election or some sort of they say if you're not for them they don't actually have to hand power because paul for that was unity because most of them they were been involved in war in that war in war in yemen is very clear and also some retailer power you know in saudi arabia you got a little bit where others are there that want them to hamper because they want them to stay in power so that they're not to provide them with more you know forces and you know military element to fight in yemen or some sort of what actually is because i mean we've seen the r.s.s. now the structured support forces you know. as as they used to be certainly with militia get married in good militia and that some security council who. then

because their former leader is now deputy head of the military the transitional military or the military so who's in charge of the r.s.s. committee. that will not ask him if the with the one who is in karachi on the whole thing and now the portman. or some sort of about his running the in place sure sure in the country because army is so weak and even the you know the leadership of the more something is controlled by him it doesn't work because you know actually you know. having been actually held accountable for his crimes in that forum now he's repeating the same crimes actually in khartoum that's why the international community should take action to stop what's going on there i mean we have had comments from the u.s. and the u.k. you know denouncing the violence perhaps expected we know the security council would be blocked of anything of the you know we always talk about the international community but which countries do you realistically see taking some kind of leadership in sudan to. try to at least facilitate civilian i think the

international community 1000000 actually the big powers you know including united kingdom gridding you not you see it on the some members of the on security council you know these they have actually to be you know to take a bigger responsibility you know to pave the way likely that the u.s. would go against for example that as you say saudi arabia being involved in this it's that seem unlikely doesn't it that a country like the u.s. would be firm on on an issue like sudan i'm get struck at about the ideal situation because even you know get we have and we have and so that i think is going to have you know the best interest the national interest of you not even of a country of some sort about but remember this country you know in crisis you know and then south sudan outsourcing you know loss in a big you know civil war a local somalia look at libya all of this got a place without sorting so that 6 could witness actually in the interior and that we have the the interest of the western countries or some sort of about because

that's mean migration i should have thought about that means you know some international organized crime scene or so can be you know it's doubly bad some terrorist groups are the kind of put it in the area definitely for months we've been speaking to a lot of the protesters who of course always knew that there was a potential this would happen there was a sense of determination sometimes even optimism i know that you've been speaking at this some people inside than what was their mood what did you get from them about the situation. up to mystic especially this group actually they even i don't know they're so bitter and so mean actually to go ahead with their aspiration especially you know that not escape to be honest just booked so many of them that not escape after they were detained minutes really to go ahead with this and that want to confront this is what is this could lead to notice of trouble of confrontation because this single this measure of that to come by and this violent you know kind of crackdown to come by the military council for some celeb is going to go and actually have to hold the the youth group a kid from you know the mr. even not to watch it with them but but but this is

making them even more more determined actually to watch it with with their actions again to the car rule because this make it very clear that this is not the government that actually siding with them this is actually a government a military council that actually has been over security you know by straight to global over security for the us pressure. from it hussein a research associate at the school of oriental and african studies here in london surveying here are now it's the 2nd anniversary of the start of the air sea and land blockade on qatar by its neighbors saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain egypt and others accused katter's leaders of supporting terrorism they consistently deny that and say talks can settle the dispute peacefully stake a look back at how the diplomatic dispute began on may 20th 2017 the u.s. president on tramp lands in saudi arabia to meet king solomon and other arab

a funder of terrorism. but within months the president had come full circle welcoming the emir of qatar at the white house and calling him a very big advocate of the war on terror sigrid honor to have the mirror of qatar with us it's a friend of mine knew it long before i entered the world of politics he's a great gentleman very popular in his country his people love him we're working on unity in that part of the middle east and i think it's working out very well our military. cooperation is very solid very strong as everybody knows that the heart of fighting terrorism is from a low data base and. thank god it's been very successful campaign against. terrorist groups along our region. be out of date bases a centerpiece of the u.s. qatar relationship it serves as a forward headquarters of the u.s.

secretary of state such as foreign minister engaging in talks with irregular leaders in a bid to reduce the tension and while the military benefits of the u.s. relationship with qatar proven the fool evidence of cutters diplomatic worth may yet be to come mike hanna al-jazeera washington. the head of thailand's military jhumpa has been selected as prime minister for you said channel was chosen in a joint vote of the 500 seat house and the 250 seat senate whose members are appointed by the military the opposition says the vote was designed to extend and legitimize the military's dominance price has been in power since he led a coup in 2014 when he is more on the story from bangkok. it was a very long process in parliament and at the end of it as there was no surprise that private channel was elected to continue as prime minister because the system

was basically rigged in his favor the military was able to hand pick all 250 senators sitting in the upper house of parliament so almost regardless of what happened in the lower house the party a party backed by the military and the party that nominated prior to become prime minister knew that it could probably rely on all 250 senators to deliver its the numbers that it needed on the other side as a pro democracy bloc led by the poor thai party that was removed in the coup in 2014 and the party that won the most seats in the election in march will parties in that block allege that this was a dirty campaign by the other side that millions of dollars was offered to members of parliament to switch allegiances and vote for prior to continue as prime minister put i didn't nominate one of its own to be prime minister instead it went for the leader of the new future forward party that performed so well in the

election its leader tom out on june. performed a remarkable campaign really and is clearly now a force to be reckoned with in thai politics even though he couldn't quite get the numbers to be prime minister clearly the military is concerned about the threat that he poses now to there are several dubious legal cases against him that could see him banned from politics or even thrown in jail. the traffic ministration has imposed new restrictions on medical research using fetal tissue in a major victory for abortion opponents government scientists will no longer be allowed to use fetal tissue for their research including hiv and several cancers that issue is taken from elective abortions and would otherwise be discarded the u.s. health department says it's trying to balance pro-life and pro-science imperatives . measles cases in the u.s. have reached a 27 year high more than 1000 cases have been recorded just this year the centers

for disease control and prevention reported 41 new instances of the disease last week it's the worst outbreak since 1992 measles was the cleared eliminated in the u.s. in 2000 but the highly contagious disease has returned in communities with low vaccination rates. you tube says it will ban would it describes as hateful videos from its service the website owned by alpha bit in google will block content that promotes or glorifies racism and discrimination it will also ban and remove any videos that deny well documented violent events like the whole cost get announcement is the latest in a series of tech industry moves to filter out hateful and hateful and violent content which have spurred calls for tougher regulation but some free speech advocates say that hate speech should not be censored well erica goldberg is an

assistant professor of law at the university of dayton in the u.s. state of ohio and joins us via skype madame thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so some people say free speech even hate speech should not be censored what do you make of that and do you see any complications in the finding what is hate speech. absolutely so 1st i just want to say that you tube is well within its constitutional rights to define hate speech however it wants and sort of . control the parameters of the conversation that happen on its own platform but that said defining hate speech is extremely difficult and enforcing it in an even handed way is even harder and you tube is going to run into the same problems that have prevented the courts from allowing hate speech to be an unprotected category under our constitution as applies to the government. and the similar case when a u.s. district judge was asked to weigh in on the matter she the term and that google and

you tube are private entities and they have the liberty to make decisions about whether and how to regulate content that's been uploaded on that website but it does seem like an incredible responsibility to be placed on private entities because really they're almost everywhere you have there are a very small number of private entities that basically control the conversation on the internet now and by doing this you tube is appointing itself arbiter of what topics we can engage in it's discriminating on the basis of viewpoint basically and that raises a lot of concerns because this speech will get out there but now it's going to be driven underground where other people can't really engage with it and might not change people's minds and that leads to a sort of further radicalization so it is a concern that youtube has so much control now over controversial topics and it may be that they are trying their best but that obviously this is such a huge issue that it's difficult for anyone to police are trying to regulate or you

know to manage in any way how do you think the future looks what does it look like for you know google you tube facebook what do you see the best way of regular because we all know when some things are said that are just that can't be just opinion that are blatantly untrue. yeah so i mean you tube is in a really tough spot here. you know i think the the best policy might be one that's a bit more speech protective than what you tube is willing to do especially because there's a lot of public outcry and justifiable public outcry about the offensive content on its platform but i wish that you tube had maintained a bit more of a principled stance and said you know we're going to go up to sort of the protections provided by the constitution even though we don't have to so you know libelous speech if you say something that is false and injurious to someone's reputation you know we can censor that harassed.
