so i retreat. there is no such plan the bill. hong kong's leader admits a controversial extradition bill has been a total failure after months of mass protests. this is all just 0 a live from the headquarters and. also ahead it's one step closer to peace in afghanistan the taliban and afghan leaders promised to reduce civilian casualties. the un's human rights chief says she's appalled by the conditions of the u.s. the tension son throws along the mexico border. and why once prosperous part of the

occupied west bank now resembles more ghost town. hello we begin with breaking news out of hong kong where the territories beijing appointed leader has announced that a controversial extradition bill is dead. admitted that her governments work on the proposed law had been a total failure it would have allowed the extradition of criminal suspects to mainland china anger over the bill led to unprecedented protests as you can see in earlier this month hundreds of people broke away from peaceful demonstrations and stormed the city's legislature building we'll be live from hong kong with our reporter just a moment but 1st let's hear what he had to say. but there are still the lingering doubts about the government's sincerity. whether the government will restart the process in the legislative council. so i retreat here there is no

such plan the bill instead robert bright is joining us from hong kong so what are we to make of her comments stops sorts her comments rather stop short of a formal with drawl. that's right we are starting to get reaction now online from a number of pro-democracy groups one of the main organizers of these unprecedented protest is also holding a press conference as we speak and the and the response is not favorable people are not convinced by this as you mentioned there it stops short of the full withdrawal that the protesters have been demanding. so it's questionable whether this will have the effect that. obviously wants to have and try to take some of the animosity out of this whole issue the problem for protesters here is that this is a carrier who is going to be in power potentially for the next few years saying

that she and her government will not try to reintroduce this into the legislative council hong kong's mini parliament but that's not to say that a future government in the future affectively beijing appointed chief executive will not try to introduce it it's obvious from the strength of feeling that this has been shelved for a few years at least but the concern for people is that it will be reintroduced at a further point it's all part of what people here see or perceive as the gradual erosion of some of. freedoms under chinese rule so it remains to be seen just what impact this will have but carry lamb the chief executive does have this unfortunate knack it seems of making a concession coming out and being conciliatory she's done here only to find she's made matters worse she's further inflamed passions here we saw that middle of last month when president to protest we have these violent clashes in the in the streets

with with police she eventually said yes all right this belief suspended only to find the very next day that instead of 1000000 people coming out on the streets 2000000 people. came out onto the streets where we were already having some feedback from the groups saying that he sees effectively more semantics from the chief executive would play and they are not convinced and rob we're seeing this issue now that it originally had started over that extradition bill now morphed into something a little bit bigger because we're hearing protesters are calling for the legislature to be dismissed as well as for free elections in hong kong so what next for the protest movement. absolutely in some ways you know the genie has been let out of the bottle when you go now on these protests people have been calling for the withdrawal of this extradition bill but it does go

to the wider issue now of hong kong's relationship with mainland china and some of the old issues that we saw being raised 5 years ago when we had the umbrella movement and we had the occupations of the streets here are raising their heads again are being brought up for example why can't hong kong people have universal suffrage that their vote counted equally that where you have one person one vote why is the system apparently rigged with this pro establishment bias that that the chief executive will always be somebody that is. approved by beijing so people are asking these bigger questions one of the other issues that people have also been demanding is a full independent investigation into what the protesters claim have been excessive use of force by the police in effectively breaking up what are largely peaceful demonstrations the use of rubber bullets the use of tear gas etc and again carol

lam has stopped short of that she has promised that there will be an investigation by the independent police complaints council but. unlike because the name suggests of the lot of people argue here that this is not independent that it is largely made up of very conservative forces conservative figures here in hong kong that they won't be an independent investigation that is a further issue there so with the more protests are planned it remains to be seen whether they will be smaller or larger as a result of statement today or ok rob thank you. so let's take a look back at the turmoil of the last few months it all began in february when hong kong security bureau submitted papers proposing amendments to extradition laws . in april another amendment was added the proposed law called for criminal suspects to be sent to mainland china for a trial protesters are on the streets were the days on the 30th of may facing mounting pressure lam's government limited the scope of offenses that could lead to

extradition on june the 16 plan signaled the end of the controversial bill by saying she was suspending its that wasn't enough for protest as the anger boiled over on july the 1st when demonstrators broke into the legislative council building just of chang is a pro-democracy campaigner in hong kong and he says kerry law must do more than just withdraw the bill. be the boss majority of hong kong people would not want back to the current t.v.'s get the government is going to be able to be accountable to them to stand up for get interest and thought and then too much too many differences from james this is a rather tall order but you have to restore that confidence and trust in government otherwise your own government will be rather effective in the coming 3 years apparently the program ocracy involvement and especially the young people are

dissatisfied with this kind of attitude and as you say too little concessions to few concessions to lay and being sweet impress you again a little concession i think this kind of strategy it's this kind of at it's kind of tech leads are counterproductive you don't handle the crisis this way now. trust of the hong kong and apparently she has failed to do so serious counting on it is support and in support of. will have to support. france is sending its top diplomatic adviser to iran on tuesday to try to deescalate tension between the han and washington comes after iran announced it has breached the limits on uranium enrichment that was agreed in the 2050 nuclear deal our diplomatic editor james bass has more from washington d.c.

. just hours after iran announced it was increasing the level of its uranium enrichment beyond that stipulated in the 2050 nuclear deal the u.s. vice president gave washington's response iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. we've been the 1st with the united states of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our personnel and our citizens in the region the iranians are unlikely to be cowed by that in fact the main audience for their announcement that they will now enrich uranium up to the level of 5 percent was probably european nations the e.u. is still supportive of the nuclear deal and has been devising something called in stakes a work around mechanism that would allow iran to trade and to sell its oil to e.u. and other nations without them incurring u.s.

sanctions it's trying to kick the europeans in their posterity or if i can put it that way europe has been very slow to find a way to continue to trade with iran that would not violate u.s. sanctions that would somehow get around u.s. sanctions the tense standoff between the u.s. and iran shows no sign of easing the situation is likely to be high on the agenda one of the important regional player comes to the white house. the emyr of character time in been how middle farmy at the pentagon he leads a nation that hosts an airbase where thousands of u.s. troops are stationed but at the same time his country maintain. relations with iran james al-jazeera washington. britain says the seizure of an iranian oil tanker into broader was not a specific action against iran foreign office says the tanker as me hell because it was carrying oil believed to be destined for syria in breach of saying sions that

women's rights and minority rights should be protected by both groups now this is not legally binding but it does show that afghans from these various groups are on the same page we talked to the taliban spokesperson here's what he said i been very happy that. runs together from all walks of life. and just in 2 days we had this huge joint statement i think it's a bit sexist and it is a good news for all the afghans and good news that we are as a nation it. is all this long lasting issue the delegates from the skirt told me that they got to the point where they were able to put forth a unified statement because they talked about what they had in common and a lot of that came down to suffering one of my. was mistakenly hit by soldiers. you might be in was this somebody that they will see any

a region where people responsible for atrocities are rarely held to account malcolm webb al-jazeera nairobi kenya. our simian say they are being imprisoned in their own neighborhoods by the expanding separation wall built by israel the international court of justice ruled the wall illegal 15 years ago construction began in 2002 israel said it was to provide better security the wall now stretches more than 700 kilometers in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of palestinians rights groups say it's allowed israelis to confiscate palestinian land to build more illegal settlements palestinians say the wall is a symbol of the israeli occupation and they're demanding freedom of movement or the israeli wall divides many communities including the palestinian town of beer in the occupied west bank brahim has been seeing how the town of being

a bell and who is east of jerusalem has been living in the shadow for 15 years. its economy was booming in the 1990 s. when the town doing jerusalem to many cities in the occupied west bank. it looks more like a ghost town now. since the israeli government ordered the building of the separation wall 2002 the wall has blocked the town's mean to limiting access to people and products hundreds of shops have closed their doors and thousands of townspeople have left. carpenter is one of a few who decided to keep his business open but it's very different to when he entered the workshop in the year 2009. no the only carpenters there are him and his partner like the town's economy their business has been cut back. this is one of the most vivid areas and we're a few meters away from an israeli industrial area this area was bustling with

businesses and people going back and forth now we rely on a few customers the contrast between the 2 sides of the wall can be seen vividly here and also heard on the israeli side there is the loud noise of works on the palestinian side that sides as palestinians are being pushed out on their side of the wall because of land confiscation more israelis are taking advantage such as. in the north of the occupied west bank. and israeli military order confiscated. building the wall israelis build a stable on it. palestinian fears have increased since israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced plans to annex parts of the west bank if you died. the main goal in the israeli agenda is to grab more vans push more people out especially they sleeping in east jerusalem the wall helps israel build more settlements extending existing ones and consolidate them in the palestinian territory around 65 percent of the israeli separation wall is complete their arrest

is under construction and when it's finished is expected to take up to 10 percent of all land in the occupied west bank many palestinians say the main purpose of israel's policy is to make life so unbearable they have no option but to leave. the occupied west bank. the u.s. president has talked up what he calls his environmental leadership in a speech at the white house. top priority for hasn't ministration even as it rolls back protections and fisher reports from washington. on a day an unusually strong summer storm blew through washington donald trump talked about his stewardship of the environment my administration has made it a top priority to ensure that america has among the very cleanest air and cleanest water on the planet before he became president he refused to accept overwhelming scientific evidence about climate change

a hoax he called it created by the chinese to harm the u.s. economy once elected one of the 1st things he did on the environment withdraw the us from the 2016 paris climate agreement an international initiative to limit global temperature rises he says the us the world's 2nd biggest polluter is doing a remarkable job all in it so every single one of the signatories to the paris climate accord lags behind america in overall emissions reductions even as he started revoking environmental protection laws he insisted he couldn't get in the way of a strong economy. but data from his own environmental protection agency shows the number of bad air days jumped 20 percent in 2017 the 1st year of trump's presidency and a port by the state of global air that's backed by several u.s. universities ranks the u.s. is the best in the world in terms of particle pollution something linked to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year and under trump's presidency more than 80

environmental rules and regulations have been repealed withdrawn or weakened most of them in reducing pollution and emissions this speech this event didn't leave any new plans or proposals by donald trump for the environment which is surprising given that climate is likely to be one of the hot topics in the next presidential election some environmental watchdogs see donald trump's actions are actually increasing greenhouse gas emissions and damaging the environment but you really clear from this president he doesn't understand the impact of fossil fuels on our climate or doesn't care frankly and doesn't understand that the energy future is a clean energy future several u.s. government agencies have warned the long term impact is a threat to u.s. strategic interests. for example 3 of the 5 most expensive hurricanes have hit the u.s. in the past 2 years a cost of billions of dollars to the u.s.

economy and the pattern likely to be repeated especially as a new report suggests a majority of americans now believe that climate change is affecting their local area and the 3rd thing it's affecting them personally alan fischer al-jazeera the white house mothers have been marching in tel aviv after an israeli if european teenager was killed by an off duty policeman last sunday solomon taiko was shot in the head in the city of haifa the officer who pulled the trigger hasn't been charged and remains under house arrest bernard smith has more. she. was upset approaches are picked up again these are being led by mothers who've been holding banners saying mom please don't let. the next war. son . to work the police to change not someone's behavior when it comes to the jewish community now the police officer who shot solomon to get the names

under house arrest actually being kept in a hotel it's own protection is still being questioned the police say that so far no charges have been laid protesters promising to keep protesting until they see some results from the coming. germany's biggest bank has started laying off workers as part of a radical reorganization that will see 800000 jobs lost worldwide in the city of london where deutsche bank has one of the largest employers some staff didn't show up for work on monday after being told their passes were voided shares traders in tokyo and other offices in asia have also been laid off deutsche bank c.e.o. says he plans to invest a substantial amount of his salary to buy the bank's slighting shares donna cain has more from berlin. deutsche bank has clearly been ailing for some considerable time particularly in so far as its investment branch is concerned the value of its shares is nowhere near the heights that that it knew back before the credit crunch

during towards the end of the last decade and so when we view the announcement of the job cuts that have been coming over the past 24 hours it needs to be seen through that prism it's also worth making the point that there was not unanimity in so far as the board of daughter bank is concerned regarding this decision to shands jobs a member of the board resigned on friday of last week presumably in protest at what these these decisions are going to ensue leads to the point also to make here. is that many of the job cuts the headline job cuts being announced will not be taking place in germany they will instead be taking place in the cities where daughter back has representation amongst the large finance and financial institutions that's the headline to take from this many job cuts but not so far at least here in germany u.k. government regulators say british airways should pay a fine of $230000000.00 for

a massive data breach if the amount is paid it would be the stiffest penalty for its kind under new rules personal details of about half a 1000000 be a passenger as were compromised in a hack just over a year ago during which customers were diverted to a fake website. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera hong kong speccing appointed leader has announced that a controversial extradition bill is dead but she failed to specifically say be unpopular or will be permanently withdrawn carry. out her government's work on the proposed law had been a total failure it would have allowed the extradition of criminal suspects or mainland china anger over the bill lead to one precedent of protests but there are still lingering doubts about the government's sincerity or wariness whether the

government will restart the process in a legislative council. so i retreat here there is no such plan that instead france is sending its top diplomatic advisor to iran on tuesday to has announced that noncompliance with parts of the 2050 nuclear deal while the us is threatening more sanctions. talks between the taliban and afghan leaders have ended in doha with a promise to reduce civilian casualties in afghanistan since 0 the 2 day event is expected to lead to more formal binding discussions between the 2 sides. the un's human rights chief says he's appalled by the conditions migrants and refugees face in u.s. detention facilities near its southern border michelle bachelet says children stop by border agents should never be held in detention facilities or separated from their families rights groups have complained that many children have no access to showers and were being detained long past the maximum of 72 hours
