gold medal from the battle with cancer hope will be hit with more. government offices have been shot in hong kong as protests in officials decide their next move the day after thousands forced the postponement of a vote on a new extradition law groups of protesters are maintaining small vigils in the central district and large groups of riot police standing by on main roads but now a major rally is planned on thursday and wednesday police used tear gas pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse protesters surrounding hong kong's alleges to have counsel the change in law would allow people to be extradited to mainland china which protesters fear could lead to the targeting of beijing's critics hong kong as leaders said the protests won't change the government's mind i can only say that i'm very upset. given this. that i'm betraying hong kong

i've will not do anything that it's not in the interest of hong kong i will not shy away from my responsibility in introducing a piece of legislation. they're convinced of the justification said causing this. public outcry. in society but sometimes as a political leader. you cannot shy away from difficult decisions when let's bring in robert reich who joins us live now from hong kong and rob the leadership still standing firm. absolutely nic they have said that they know the strength of feeling though they have no they realize the hundreds of thousands of people who come out on the streets carrying a lamb the chief executive says she hears the people of hong kong but guess what she didn't get to change her mind that seems to be the message they are sticking to as you mentioned that there have been small groups of protesters around this area

of the legislative council building and the government offices here very much under the watchful eye of still a very heavy police presence small groups of mainly students they have been stopped and searched they have been made sure that they do not look as though they're going to start any kind of sudden flash demonstration keeping very much a low profile i think and also the weather hasn't helped there have been downpours during the day and i think there is a realisation that everyone is waiting to see what happens next what happens inside the legislative council here with this controversial legislation very much affect what happens on the streets outside of it early thursday it was announced that a 2nd reading of this controversial bill wouldn't be held with it's now been announced in the last few minutes that tomorrow friday also there will not be a reading of that bill so everybody waiting to see exactly when if the government does follow through on its promise and does have this 2nd reading that i think is when we will see the groups coming back here and coming back in force that robyn's

or any doubt that this is being driven by beijing and if so why is it so important to beijing for this mall to be tonight. there is an awful lot of speculation here about just how heavy the hand of beijing is in all of this of course the hong kong government says this is very much a hong kong initiative but the reality is the speculation is that the central government of beijing is very much driving this is very much the government of hong kong to stay for people are making comparisons between this and also a very similar dispute back in 2003 when the hong kong government tried to introduce legislation the so-called sedition laws which sort of very similar reaction on the streets you have literally hundreds of thousands of people coming out on the streets and as a result of that the hong kong government backed down on the then leader at the time also had early resignation retirement from office connected with that i think

that you get a sense here that say the government of china is very much looking to make a stand here that said this is a battle of wills that beijing really wants to see it prevail and the next test of all this of course comes on sunday when it's just been announced that there will be a now the mass demonstration against this extradition law remember of course that last sunday there was they mass demonstration one of the biggest we've had for decades up to a 1000000 people well everybody's waiting to see just how many people are going to turn out this coming sunday nick all right rob leave it there for the moment thanks very much indeed robert right reporting there from hong kong there has been renewed fighting on the outskirts of libya's calm but will its forces loyal to warlord who before have to battle soldiers from the un recognized government military sources say government forces are advancing on areas of. what. have to warplanes targeted several locations across tripoli and have been night for

more on this let's cross to my head who's live for us now in tripoli tell us more about the context of this and why have to forces have been intensifying there at times. well we're now in the 3rd demands nic as you know and do have to this forces have not achieved their goal yet which is taken control of the whole capital tripoli over the past 2 months it has been only attacks and counterattacks and recently because have those forces have not been able to proceed towards the capital city center so they have recently intensified areas flakes targeting get civil locations in and around tripoli and by the way that includes civilian areas and that also includes civilians houses and government facilities and also the only operational airport in the city which

is. has been targeted several times by have those warplanes since the beginning of the fighting on april the 4th author because have to has promised his foreign backers whom he has been receiving weapons of from egypt and even at emirates and we're getting news from sources informal sources that the foreign backers have this from backers are upset with him because he has not achieved the goal he was tasked with which is taken control of the whole capital tripoli now we're getting reports from there from military sources on the ground saying that the government forces are advancing the near the vicinity of the old in active international airport which is a under control of the have to force for government fighters were killed today and 5 others wanted have to warplanes targeted 9 air strikes targeting military camps along with the under control of their government forces today nic robert thanks

very much more. reporting from. to check in now with the defense ministry says a mortar shell attack by syrian government forces in the rebel held province of it live has injured 3 turkish soldiers to say one of the observation post was deliberately targeted it was being bombarded for weeks by syrian government forces and russian astronauts killing at least 300 people in and another in another development russian media says the kremlin and taki have brokered a cease fire it is even considering it has more now from ankara. the russian media reported that there is a ceasefire brokered between turkey and russia over it for the turkish authorities haven't confirmed or declined this a legit ceasefire but according to the defense ministry statement we now understand that the turkish military post was the liberty targeted by the syrian regime forces last night after the russian media reported that there was a cease fire deal so it is the most cool and uncle are said to be.

are sad to be trying to launch an initiative that could that would result in a ceasefire however the turkish side say is that all those initiatives are not under way because the syrian regime always violates the agreed terms between moscow and russia so this is a problem for turkey and the authorities say they have the right for a retaliation but there is no offical statement that says that turkey will retaliate right now but the fence ministry has taken the necessary in this deal with the russian side they're following up closely but when you speak to the. officials in uncle did they tell you that the syrian regime deliberately targets the the military is the militarization zone and at left especially after the united states. has announced that they are still has been finished inside syria

the u.k. is conservative members are meeting to vote for a new party leader who have respect will replace to resume or who stepped down last week the 1st polling is on thursday and contenders have been sorting out their agendas and that includes how to keep the party from falling apart and delivering bricks that were let's cross over to westminster and get the latest from a lawrence lawrence and so it goes on leadership battles the rain is all i'm listening. yeah yeah just have a go. it's it is. this round of voting. whoever whoever wants to get through this runs got to get the support of 17 other m.p.'s and that's probably going to mean maybe 2 or 3 getting knocked out and their votes will go to somebody else and then eventually go to the membership. overwhelmingly support boris johnson and he and the other 2 main contenders all say that they want to renegotiate the deal or in the case of boris johnson if it comes certainly without

a deal by the end of october and it just ignores the fact that there are there is so little time between now and the end of october to renegotiate anything then 4 more weeks of polman sitting and so a lot happens and the european has already said it won't renegotiate any deal it's all in michel barnier the negotiator has even disbanded his team and so the whole thing feels a bit delusional and it makes a lot of people here wonder whether these contenders of learn anything at all from the experience that series amaze been through over the last 3 years. here's the man who the bookmakers think is going to be the next prime minister crazy funloving boris johnson former mayor of london and foreign secretary. and ladies' man short on attention to detail but long on ability to work a crowd. johnson's entire argument is that nigel farage is new breck's it party is so undermining the conservative that if it isn't delivered as soon as possible then

the tory party faces destruction. but does johnson do his rivals jeremy hunt the current foreign secretary or michael gove the eloquent environment secretary actually know how to do brett sits any better than to resume a did they've been wrong for 3 years about what the e.u. is willing to negotiate why would they be right all of a sudden now so they don't stand up to scrutiny i think it's not necessarily intended to stand up to scrutiny i think it's maybe intended to influence the candidates in the leadership debate to toward sort of moving generally towards their direction and competing with each other to be more. the conservative party membership wants bracks it badly and they are threatening to undermine their own m.p.'s if the u.k. isn't out of the european union by the end of october the current deadline but just as compelling is whether or not the new leader would be able to deliver that accepts without the government collapsing and triggering a national election one recent poll suggested more than half of voters think boris

johnson will make a bad prime minister several candidates have worn openly that not delivering bricks it could lead to the conservatives losing to labor in an election i think the onus is on the candidates to show how they will achieve bricks it because it's all very well saying we'll go for no deal but that may not get through parliament. so you really go she ate it may not get through the year so at the moment the candidates and not being adequately precise to convince even their own colleagues let alone the membership of the public at large certainly the main preoccupation for the leading candidate seems to be whether it's easier to be jeremy corbin in an election before or after delivering directives and on top of warning that delaying it could risk the wrath of conservative voters deserving to nigel farage it all seems a long way away bricks it was supposed to be about. so you have this excited as you

ation where people like boris johnson is saying if we don't deliver bricks it's then we'll get a jeremy called in governments and yet the opposite could just as well be true because as soon as boris johnson becomes prime minister as it looks likely that he will there will be a vote of no confidence in him and the government could collapse even before. october and you have to ask yourself what what what happens then and you know extraordinary things are being written conservative home which is the members' own website saying it's backing boris johnson on the wing and a prayer even though he doesn't really trust him it doesn't really think he's a long term prime minister but that he's better than all the alternatives and you know if you boil it down to the very end it looks like either the u.k. is going to fall out the end of october because it can't make its mind what to do or it just lurches on and in that case i just think brett sic can't ever happen because they can't keep extending it indefinitely or lawrence thanks very much indeed that's the update from westminster lawrence lee reporting. albanians

parliaments is taught to debate you no confidence motion brought forward by the prime minister of iraq against president. there's been tension between the 2 automatic cancelled local elections planned for later this month the opposition had vowed to boycott the vote different groups have been holding protests against prime minister rahman since february he accused him in of the socialist party politicians colluding with organized crime groups john troublous has the latest from the albanian capital of toronto prime minister has delivered a resolution to the parliament which he wants the parliament to vote positively upon which calls the president to return to constitutional order he says the president may not cancel an election and the president's action was unprecedented but this resolution accuses president matter of using his office to play party politics the constitution and the election law don't allow the president to and

will cancel an election the resolution says this of course is a difference of interpretation the president was saying that he has the right to determine the date but the price the prime minister is saying that the president should simply not interfere should not attempt to cancel an election that has already been called this is partially sciatica the prime minister is using the tools at his disposal to deliver a response to what has been a very sharp blow to the authority of his office from the president of the republic who of course has wittingly or unwittingly aided the democratic party opposition who also do not want this election to proceed the opposition has instead been calling for a general election to be held and once prime minister rama to step down the head of that election so that a caretaker government can manage the country and ensure a free and general election. the president of taiwan and has won the ruling party's

hotly contested nomination for the 2020 presidential election that still requires approval from the party's executive committee next week to officially become the independents democratic progressive party's nominee itself ruled island is set to hold its presidential election in january made heightened tensions with china already in my few minutes we'll have the weather with rob also ahead here on al-jazeera branch of the ground we're live in mali as it grapples with one of the country's worst killings. another setback for palestinian fishermen as israel claims its borders. and a small personal hope that footballing icon can take to the pitch for the 1st time at this year's world cup in france is a take on a strain in. the

west. bank. preparation preparations ahead of a cycle and. they were 20 years ago last time was hit which is still a possibility this is footage from about 24 hours ago the waves act 9 meters high of course a building here. or have brought in evacuations are in order for obvious reasons really the boats they get smashed to pieces they say preparations are much better and well underway now and that was the good news because this here is a severe tropical storm or tropical cycle i'm sure like. value with winds a little lower now than they were this time yesterday which is good news still gusting to 160 unlike your biggest storm surge the listed water with a high tide 1.3 meters above high tide off the coast of the snow part of india but now the course yesterday was take it up towards the coast of pakistan so possibly

even he landfall now it seems more likely to go out into the open water this is a site is relatively good news there still will be in effect this huge amounts of rain and wind for the shore and eventually probably pakistan as well so damage will be done however the storm is circulating around slowly and. slowly dying. the weather. in morocco registered an under-age marriages have caused problems especially for women and children i've been trying for years to get my daughter legally recognized by have pressure from lobby groups has led to changes to the family code giving women greater rights in marriage while keeping the family and. the divorce rate has increased a lot mainly with occupations made by wives. al-jazeera world. we're making millions per month off for nothing taxes i was looking for. more than

10 years after the global financial crisis millions of dollars and it's like the greatest job you could ever imagine getting without putting any of your own capital this was in the store and drove millions of workers into unemployed i said. we need to immediately find the intro to the man who stole the world coming soon. and again you're watching al-jazeera remind of our top stories just into oil tankers have been damaged and that crews have abandoned ship in the gulf of oman

after what has been reported as an attack the norwegian operator of one ship says there was a fire on board oil prices have jumped by more than 4 percent on the news. iran's supreme leader ayatollah khamenei has told japan's 15 prime minister that iran will not negotiate with the united states into happens in tehran leaders to play what he calls a constructive role in regional security. a government offices have been shot in hong kong as protesters and officials decide their next move that's a day off to thousands forced the perspective of a vote on a new tradition. or let's bring you more on the reports of attacks on 2 ships in the gulf of them on joining us here on set it's my own cover on who's had a policy analysis at the absence of research and policy studies. and it certainly these are troubling incidents we don't know for sure what has happened lots of varying reports but what do you make of what you're hearing so far it's been interesting. actually to know that the tankers were heading towards japan at the

time when the japanese prime minister actually is in trying to mediate between the united states and iran could be relevant to address according to the well i mean it's very interesting consequence i mean if it's. for me if we want to talk about division within the administration which is something that we most often focus on concerning how to deal with iran we sometimes forget that there is a division also within the iranian leadership on how to deal with the united states because we see actually president rouhani and from mr taking a more. flexible. on negotiation with as we had a couple of minutes ago that. the supreme leader of the of the revolution in iran is actually taking a very hard line position on the negotiation we're not the states so i think we have to be in mind when we talk about this incident shortly let's just reflect on

why this is such an important area and why this is potentially such an important incident where you see the straits of hormuz where the gulf of gulf flows into the gulf of amman and also that is where the it's a main artery of transport of oil supplies where all the energy basically so that is once important well actually 20 percent off. oil actually of. the almost total consumption of the world's oil is actually coming from that thought this is why it's very important and this is why actually any incidents of such magnitude is having immediate impact on the oil prices and the international market because you have seen this morning about the price of oil actually has it isn't something like 5 percent because of this of this incident anything that might have been in this part of this decision this particular region will have a huge mbak on the oil prices would have also huge impact on world economy as

a whole this is the more spite of vision perhaps of. in. concerning its importance to world economy of course we know that there will be those especially the united states who will be pointing their finger at iran iran as we've discussed of come out and said that this is an extremely suspicious situation if you like i'm just wondering what other actors could be playing a role in this who else could be responsible well i mean we can all always talk about a 3rd party who is interested in. between the united states and iran and giving may be. munition to both the hardliners on both sides. could actually be behind his other parties might also be behind this so as we said we have within within the 2 leadership we have hardliners we have within the administration. others who are seeking more confrontational approach towards

iran and on the other side on the iranian side we have the supreme leader we have the. evolutionary gart in iran actually also taking a very hard line position so this could. give them a gift to spoil efforts in order to mediate between the 2 sides of course we have the doors also on on the 2 sides so i think any 3rd party will be actually thinking that was the hard line that was on the both sides of the divide. no doubt they'll be plenty more to talk about as the day progresses but for the time being thanks very much much. well u.s. diplomats have joint efforts to solve sudan's political crisis washington's special envoy donald booth met protest leaders and called to me along with the senior u.s. diplomat to africa those people knowledge the opposition says the military council must be held accountable for last week's violent crackdown on demonstrators.

last friday the ethiopian prime minister arrived in khartoum and presented a mediation project we told him that we reject any direct negotiations with the military council we don't think that direct negotiations with the military council is useful the only thing we can talk about is an agreement to hand over power to a civilian authority this is what the sudanese people want the world health organization has called an emergency meeting after 2 people including a 5 year old boy died of a bowl in uganda these are the country's 1st fatalities from the virus since an outbreak in neighboring democratic republic of congo the latest victim is the grandmother of the child who died public gatherings have been banned in the affected areas so hot it has more. family in quarantine in a hospital in east in uganda the 5 year old boy succumbed to the virus shortly after arriving there from neighboring democratic republic of congo where his

grandfather died after contracting. doctors treating the family say they've been expecting the worse he says and does research us way to be repaired staff have been trained and to get paid but perhaps this is the day we showed you how to use the government bill and to make sure that you get to know something like . 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. the ministry of health the world organization and the center for disease control have dispatched a rapid response team to cassis to support the teams well on the ground to continue with the various activities including contact tracing and case management. uganda has been on high alert for the last 10 months since the outbreak in the eastern d.r. sea where 2000 congolese have contract at the virus and 1400 have died in the 2nd

worst ebola epidemic on record. 8 people in contact with the family have been identified the ugandan authorities will vaccinate all contacts and ensure all health professionals and the district are vaccinated to. the last outbreak of ebola in uganda was 7 years ago then it strains an already overstretched health system this time the government wants to contain the virus much more quickly uganda have a long history of a bowler out good in knowledge there. so with a well coordinated. intervention and with funding and this should be possible to where to contain this virus the government's launching an emergency vaccination campaign to immunize doctors and health workers on the frontline as well as anyone who's come into contact with the infected boy the hope

is to stop the virus spreading and prevent an already alarming situation becoming less so to hide out and jazeera to mali now where the prime minister has declared 3 days of national mourning for the victims of sunday's attack on a village dozens of people from a dog on a dog an ethnic group were killed a more attacks have been reported in the region the police reports now from the capital. barely visible mali and soldiers helicopters from the un peacekeeping force hovering over. days after sunday's deadly attack in security forces are finally on the ground protecting what appears to be an empty ghost town and. we are angry and disappointed to alternative need to deploy most soldiers to a secure area. shortly after this interview mollen soldiers meant to protect the village chief beat him up for criticizing the government i think tensions continue

to be high between the doggone hunters and the philosophy herders both the communities are in mourning and see the for revenge on wednesday fall on the villagers were attacked a short while later doggone villages were stormed and response president archita removed the governor of the president's call for national unity have largely been ignored well both communities may be in disagreement accusing the other 4 of these attacks and killings they are in agreement over the lack of response of the 1000000 forces in the un peacekeeping force that are meant to protect them. as part of the un mission known as there are 14000 peacekeepers 4000 french soldiers and almost 20000 moanin forces known as far as. several battalions were just a few kilometers away when sunday's attack on the doggone village took place. never came to a head nobody took those mollies do go on chief he says despite numerous calls for

help no one came to protect the villagers being attacked. there is no protection. by the minister. and there's nothing done by the family. it's very deplorable but that's an issue cliche and so what is life to these villagers to make arrangements for their own security whether full on your doggone they're arming themselves and taking justice in their own hands as the u.n. in the molly enforces watch from a safe distance where we can speak nick live now from bomber current tensions still clearly running high. that's right tensions are still running high because on wednesday yesterday there were several attacks against. the villages and also don't go on villages now we just heard me in media is reporting

that 6 people have been arrested and relation to sunday's attack 2 of them by the un when used by force and 4 of them by the forces the road in the center of mali to where these attacks took place we know that there are several checkpoints have been put in place by don't go on militia groups and that's exacerbating the tension of course that's forcing people to flee the area we're hearing hundreds of thousands of people who are fleeing the center of mali many of them are women and children who clearly seem to be the victim is in this in these attacks we saw a mobile phone footage of the attack and we saw a lot of bodies charred bodies of young children now joining me now is suliman tory from save the children to give us more of an explanation of why this cruelty at

this level of cruelty towards children in these attacks. thank you for having me thank you very much honestly i can tell you these are just a few cation for these kind of purity right. when you take the fact that you know some of the people who committed this attack or families and so i can find any justification for these kind of create now the numbers are being disputed 100 according to the village chiefs $35.00 according to the government out of the $3520.00 of them were children but of course there are those that have survived these attacks have lost their parents what happens to them these orphans of this conflict yes that is a group of international humanitarian up. including save the children send it needs assessment to the area when we came we found virtually empty in a community because almost everyone had fled to neighboring communities where it's much safer for them. actually. we speak you know over 100

people you know from the same community has fled into anybody community taking care of so yeah isn't there a risk that these children who have lost their parents or who are left orphaned might be lurd by armed groups that are trying to find new recruits or by militia men that are really exacerbating the conflict in the center of mali. children being in. groups if you want to defend the security of their communities but it also. needs protection. protection right now in the community you know children are often. not going to school you have. all of these.
