a chinese street where there were protests more than 4 years ago there have though been editorials appearing in a few chinese newspapers controlled by the state the global times newspaper carried an editorial essentially saying that if there is chaos in hong kong then the people of hong kong will be the ones who will suffer on wednesday we heard from going showing the foreign ministry spokesman who briefs the media here in china the international media and he stressed once more that kerry lamb and the hong kong government had the backing of the central government let's listen more to what he had to say. on the shoot through one needn't hong kong a fierce purity of china's internal affairs and then no other country has a right to interfere china is strongly opposed to the remarks from the u.s. politicians about the issues at hand kong well his comments about the united states were in response to comments that have come from nancy pelosi the speaker of the

u.s. house of representatives who has said that if the hong kong government does not shelve this controversial law proposed law then the u.s. government might have to potentially review whether hong kong continues to enjoy its special status with the united states now the u.s. hong kong policy act allows hong kong to be treated separately from the rest of china allowing it to enjoy special trading privileges now if that were to happen say analysts it would be disastrous for hong kong's economy. other son of the u.s. president is expected to testify behind closed doors before the republican led senate intelligence committee donald trump jr will be questioned about his alleged involvement over trump tower a project in russia as well as his meeting with a russian delegation in new york city and $26.00 it's expected that he'll be questioned for around 2 to 3 hours in his final question session before that committee our white house correspondent kimberly health kit is eagerly awaiting his

arrival on capitol hill what more do we know about that and also what can we expect to come out of the hearing. what we can expect to come out of the hearing is closure that's exceptionally what the senate intelligence committee is looking for they had requested that downturn jr come voluntarily to previous times he failed to show up so this time he is responding to a subpoena we understand he is on capitol hill now preparing to go into that closed door session with the senate intelligence committee you have to remember that at one point there were almost 5 different congressional investigations into whether presidential campaign colluded with russia whether or not there was any sort of election interference so this is kind of the wrapping up of the final some bipartisan probe into that that is occurring on capitol hill at least on the senate side so we do expect that this will be testimony it will go for about 2 to 4 hours

6 topics we understand as you pointed out one of the key areas of focus will be that 26th meeting with donald trump jr along with a russian lawyer even the president's son in law jared cushion and of course his former campaign manager paul man a 4th now in jail serving jail time the reason there is interest in that meeting where the 2 or 3 that were in there present were promised him promenading information on hillary rodham clinton's. presidential campaign of course she was running for president as well and 2016 is the democratic presidential nominee there are concerns here on capitol hill among democrats that the statements that were made were misleading in those fears were heightened after the publication of another investigation of course the probe i the special counsel robert muller so this is an effort to kind of tie up some loose and try to get some clarity on some of those statements that democrats as well as some republicans have concerns about

and as well we should point out that this is one of the most bipartisan investigations that is taking place even as this is a bipartisan investigation the u.s. president donald trump has called this grossly unfair so they believe it but thanks for the update complete. well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news in uganda a 5 year old boy dies after crossing the border from the democratic republic of congo where the virus has killed hundreds and mexico sends troops to its southern border as it tries to satisfy u.s. demands on migration. also caster semenya follows up her victory in the coals with a win on the track paul will have that sports story later. molly's prime minister has described seeing the bodies of children shot in the back as he visited a village where almost 100 people were killed in

a massacre. says the attack in the region of central mali was simply horrific the government also birdhouses to the ground in the escalation of ethnic violence that's been getting worse for months she tragedy what happened here is a tragedy it's a tragedy for mali and a tragedy for humanity it was important for us to come in the name of the president to present our condolences and to show compassion to those who lost their loved ones it is important that no one forgets this it is a horror that we have witnessed here. well in the. south of the region and the warning that his report does contain graphic images. the silence is deafening. the smell of dead bodies hangs low in the air the attack on the doggone village of sudan who started at dusk and went on deep into the night few survived hiding as their loved ones were being killed. now that the

10 day images circled the village and shut everything down move every were people who are screaming trudeau war screwed me who tried to run were shut down the survivors believe they know who the killers are it is their full on the neighbors they say both communities have been fighting each other for control over land. armed groups have called on full on these to join their ranks accusing the government of backing doggone militias ethnic tension is at breaking point with each community calling for revenge attacks in this spiral of violence both communities are fleeing their homes it is in this open air slaughter house on the outskirts of the capital that some philosophies have sought refuge. all of the people living under this tent share one bowl of rice and millet children show clear signs of malnutrition there is not enough water to go around so there is the threat

of water borne diseases this is where they sleep eat and cook despite the calls for peace to loni's continue to be the victims of violence president ibrahim burger king says the country's national unity is under threat. i would like to call on all our brothers to keep calm and stay rational more than ever. while the $14000.00 u.n. soldiers and money and forces on the ground failed to prevent these killings doggone hunters called this latest attack on their community a declaration of war saying revenge will come. while nicholas hunt joins me now from ali's capital nic i mean over the years you sort of told us about sort of the horror of ethnic tension in that region of the world by thing this particular incident really has reverberated across the country. that's right so this latest attack has really shocked the nation most notably because of

the mobile phone footage that we have of the aftermath and slowly but surely we're getting a clearer picture of what happened and i just got off the phone before before this hit with the mayor of the town where the killing took place and he was responding from his hospital bed because he said that 100 people had died the government say only 30 people had died and he says that soldiers attacked him because he didn't follow the government narrative such as the level of distrust that there is between these communities in the center of mali and the government and the soldiers joining us now to give us a better insight in this distrust is go who's the chief and president of the doggone community here in mali now mr joe go tell us who do you think is responsible for these attacks that have affected your community we.

are responsible for do that back. and. who stood by and if we're in the try doing that. with us what you want for that you know some members of your community accuse their full on the neighbors for these attacks do you fear that this is not going to stoke revenge attacks. yeah since the attack. was i threw richard to doug and. doug did not attack. but some of the friendlies fought it's a good go of the job on people if they're going to hunters not because don imus i so no one is taking responsibility for these attacks they feel any accuse your community of the attacks they do go on to accuse your community then accuse the

philosophies and vice versa the arch we saw only back in a spiral of violence here yeah i was you say. every community i could this community because we really don't know a lot. why these attacks are going on. and who attacks if going to attack he say that it's there for any go if friend is attacked it is don imus that will double on hunters and the government is not capable of playing fully each role. thank you very much mel due to go you know the united nations security council is expected to meet later on today their mandate the u.n. mission mandate is expected to run out at the end of the month and is expected to

be renewed but from the people that we spoke in on the ground there's heavy criticism both on the u.n. and a 1000000 soldiers for their failure to prevent these killings remember the mandate of the united nations is to protect civilians and yet despite this the attacks on these communities whether to go on or full on these have really been on the increase now the president has called for emergency meetings to try to call for dialogue he may be coming to the scene and calling for more dialogue within the communities but people here want to see into this words they want to see more 1000000 soldiers on the ground protecting the civilian population so back to you thanks very much for simba makoni let's stay on the african continent because there are signs of a breakthrough in sudan after more than a week of violence disruption and deadlock ethiopian mediators say the military and

opposition groups have agreed to resume talks on the formation of a council to oversee the transition to civilian rule they've promised to on a previous agreements on issues such as the structure of a transitional government the opposition is suspending its civil disobedience campaign a general strike for its part the military has agreed to release all political prisoners because she collapsed on june the 3rd the start of a violent military crackdown on protesters which according to a doctor's group killed 129 people the un security council has unanimously condemned the violence and called on both sides to find a solution mohamed the chaffey is a human rights advocate and he joins me now from washington d.c. good to have you with the surf let's just start about talking but talk with who wear the transitional military council have deported some political leaders killed others via their proxy the r.s.s. i mean trust in these talks will be the major issue even before talks about the transfer of power. yes

this is very critical of. our critical condition on sudan right now. due to the high pressure on put on m.t.c. after the dispersal of the protests sit in on your side there is a very strong international condemnation under reaction from african union u.n. security council europe and the united united states that you're sort of their. special envoy of. man and say the baath party is so good to meet however for the news professional association and freedom and change policy is his standards are the accountability and justice for the crimes committed or and before are necessary before any talks takes players saw it is now clear if there

will be a better talk or there will be kind of in direct mediation for the time being the m.d.c. orders a military. to make some kind of foreign men for the accountability i think the american instead of trying to all exonerate themselves. there is some military member of that committee of those quietly will receive the leaders of those who are figure just let me just interrupt you because we will see what happens in the discussion as to who blames who about what where and how but let's just talk about the effects of the civil disobedience and general strike the shutdown that we've seen in the last 3 days in conjunction with the ethiopian mediation that we've also seen these past few days did the was it the mediation that worked but from ethiopia or was it the general strike what's your general feeling what's the word that you're hearing from your contacts on the ground about what was the real turning point into where we are right now. the point is

that m.t.c. after what they were thinking that simply despite seeing the protests from the sit in in the military headquarter will be the end of the resistance or wherever they were not where the diet is this. is being deep beneath the line and into society from different areas and people were able to carry all of the proctors and commit to. one of the larger more successful protests nationwide from east west to the sun for in 2 days i think that was them was stronger hate to say and to see it really for the allies is just are very limited and they cannot control the content was out and you go to asia for i things they want get harder but all of the information of the option on what was happening. was one of fear and

far for the m.t.c. order military to pull to seek solutions are now accept any kind of intervention. for the bill but we will leave it with a bunch of you thanks for joining us from washington d.c. . well still ahead this news are crumbling particular scene of ali arrested as a rally after the release of another journalist. strike it rich forbes that releases its latest list paul will be here to tell us who the top sports earners are the shia.

and the harvester. in the united states i learned that the 1st amendment is really key to being a freedom the challenge is going to be the men and women in the lead forces that are available but it's an al-jazeera story is that we just don't tell you what the subject of the story wants to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for that's what al-jazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth.

to the al-jazeera news hour with means a whole robin a reminder of our top stories these saudi a morality led military coalition at war in yemen is promising a retaliation for a hoofy missile attack on an adult in saudi arabia at least 26 people were injured when the arrivals hall of port was hit and the control tower disabled. also police in hong kong have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters during scuffles at protests against a controversial change to extradition laws activists blocked politicians from entering the legislative building delaying the debate. on mollie's a prime minister has visited a village where almost 100 people were killed in a massacre that we see say describe the attack in the mop to region of central mali as a tragedy for humanity. more on top story the attack on the saudi portable he is the associate professor of conflict resolution at the doha

institute and author of unfinished revolutions yemen libya and tunisia after the arab spring joins us here in the studio nice to see you again thank you. let's just begin with the fact that this is a significant turning point in terms of the way the who t.f. have reacted to the southern areas of saudi arabia they have been targeting strategic locations they've actually hit today how does this change the u.s.a. the very difficult and bloody chess game that is happening on the arabian peninsula . unfortunately this is a huge development that's happening in this war that never happened before in terms of targeting or hitting an airport like the airport the southern side the arabia and causing this number of injuries 26 people they were talking about we saw something similar in the past like when with the drones

targeting the. refinery and also other airports in the past including if they were easy but we didn't see this like being able to cause this level of that this was it a lucky hit or was it actually specifically they've actually got better technology better missiles they're claiming they have a similarly something called a cruise missile well this is a good question i think this is this could be there is a huge possibility that this is just a coincidence that it hit. a specific area of the airport and it can easily be explained in terms of accuracy of this of these missiles that they had before that they had now now they are talking about a cruise missile which raises a huge question about you know where did they get the cruise missile from and here of course the expectations or the reference to the main backer iran with that iran

has supported and provided the who with his with the cruise missiles to use in this battle and of course back to your original question this proves to be. the key is for. saudi analysts have said that this is of course supported by or provided by iran this takes the conflict to the whole new level where not just between the saudis and the huth is but also about possible involvement of iran because how otherwise the who has have a cruise missiles of course the who has explained that they have this technology but remains the question about now we have international involvement 26 people from different nationalities that were wounded in this attack which again takes it to a more regional and international level indeed than when you also got some major stakeholders will be the u.s. or iran either trying to get more involved or trying to pull back and certainly lawmakers in the u.s. are trying to try and stop saudi arabia from america from supplying saudi arabia

with weapons there is political groups in european countries are trying to do that with their own national governments it does create a much complicated intractable problem for saudi arabia which will want to hit back if it hits back we've seen in the past it hits back in civilian areas or urban areas very close to where civilians live and those casualties that upset the international community even more adat is the problem the way that this. gets bigger and bigger and it is no balls really not even of into an event that nobody can stop yeah that's correct let's begin 1st with them and. this the war in yemen and american support of the saudis in yemen 1st of all has been. a huge nightmare for all u.s. administrations since this war started and he had i'm referring not only to the trial but the station but the obama administration as well because this war started back 4 years ago and there was always a concern by especially by the congress demanding that the u.s.

be in involved in this and support things out there for the huge cost and here of the cost as the. many theory and cost it has been a huge nightmare a public relations nightmare of the u.s. administration's trying to explain on what basis they are providing this intelligence technology military technology support to saudi arabia and been involved in this war that they want to be one of the biggest disasters humanitarian disasters and human made disaster i mean in the world in the past few decades so this of course could the. response from saudi arabia which is going to apply more pressure on u.s. administrations of explaining their position of on what ground that they are they remain in jail engaged in this conflict where we should see what happens and in the coming hours the u.s. wakes up to this new supreme foreign thanks very much of a cuban i think you think you. hundreds of people have been arrested in russia

show their anger against the oppression against the media and journalists in general and also they want to protest against a system that people can be arrested on these fake charges that easily here in russia so that the protests are basically split up in several areas right now police is blocking lots of roads here in moscow center but they're still going on they want to go to the police station but that it's also blocked off by police right now. the world health organization says a 5 year old boy has died of the virus in uganda it's the 1st time has been detected in uganda break in neighboring democratic republic of congo last year a move from a global wholesome urgency victoria be reports it's the news ugandans have been dreading for months confirmed by the minister of health to journalists at a media briefing in the capital kampala before the boy's death so the ministry of
