europe's forbidden colony episode 2 on al jazeera. this is al jazeera. hello i'm sam is a than this is the news hour live from coming up in the next 60 minutes united states and democratic congresswoman fight back against what they call racist hate filled bullying by the u.s. president. we are grateful for your solidarity your encouragement and your support in the face of the most recent xenophobic bigoted remarks from the occupant 2 of our white house club's landslides and devastation in the polls

struggle of the days of monsoon rains. if we are unite on the insight no body will divide us from the outside germany is a sort of underlying makes a case for why she should lead the european union. for democratic congresswoman of accuse the us president of hate filled bullying for an attack many are labeling racist the house of representatives is preparing a vote condemning his tweets saying the women all u.s. citizens and 3 born in america were from broken countries should go home the trump has kept up the controversy claiming many people agree with him. as we all know the recent tweets and words from the president are simply

a continuation of his racist and xenophobic playbook we cannot allow these hateful actions by the president to distract us from the critical work to hold this administration accountable to the inhumane conditions at the border that is separating children from their loved ones and caging them up and the legal horrific conditions this country was founded on the radical idea that we are created equal and endowed by our creator with in inalienable rights and yes we have a long way before we fully live up to those values it is for this reason precisely that we have to take action when a president is openly violating the oath he took to the constitution of the united states and the core values we aspire to as martin luther king said all we say to america is to be true to what you say on paper donald

trump is not letting go he's calling on the 4 women to apologize to america for as he describes as the foul language they have used and the terrible things they have said a white house correspondent kimberly halkett has more these are people that in my opinion hate our country despite widespread outrage and accusations of xenophobia u.s. president donald trump on monday escalated his twitter tirade against 4 democratic congresswoman from diverse backgrounds arguing they should return to where they came from if you're not happy here then you can leave scars i'm concerned if you hate our country. if you're not happy here you could leave trump's comments follow a series of tweets sent over 2 days attacking democratic party representatives alexandria cast your cortez of new york omar of minnesota where she did to leave of

michigan at a on a press lee of massachusetts of the group only omar is foreign born but all are u.s. citizens democratic house speaker nancy pelosi announced a resolution condemning trump's tweets as the congresswoman fired back this is simply a disruption and a distraction from the callous chaotic and corrupt culture of this administration all the way down i am not surprised at what he's doing. but i also know that we're focused on making it better because we don't leave the things that we love and when we love this country what that means is that we propose the solutions to fix it we love all people in this country despite pushback from democrats congressional republicans have been slow to can down one senator charged crossed

a line another one of the few black republicans in congress accused of using racially offensive language but another top republican senator defended trump's attacks on the democratic congresswoman their socialist they are anti semitic they stand for all the things that most americans disagree with one analyst argues all this is part of trump's reelection strategy and the president believes that he got elected because he talked about the war he talked about the immigration he talked about the muslim being and so what we're seeing is donald trump $2.00 for his part donald trump denies any racial atomised boasts of his record of lowering unemployment particularly among people of color and despite the shock of millions who accord donald trump's latest statements there exists in the united states millions who support the president's attacks can really help at al-jazeera the

white house jennifer periodicity lim is the co-founder of republican women for progress she blames the republican leadership for letting dawn trump go so far all . this is no surprise republicans have been constantly tested under this administration and they consistently fail when it comes to leadership issues like this what's worse than their typical silence on trump's davis' defense of language is how they're trying to victim blame here and how they're trying to talk about how these women they don't agree with their political positions but you know this doesn't rise to racism or you know they're silent or like lindsey graham they're doubling down on this type of rhetoric you know as a republican it is despicable to me it is shameful and i am ashamed of our republican leaders and our republican leadership that they have let this go on for so long and created this environment where donald trump continues to feel like he

can create that he can treat american citizens like this so our hope is that we can get more elected officials who can actually serve the people while republicans like us and republican for progress why we keep speaking out is we don't want to lose the party to racists like this we don't want to lose the party to donald trump and we want to take back that party and create a new party that can actually stand up for immigrant stand up for people of color and women and minorities and you know we just aren't seeing that with our current public and leadership and led by donald trump because they are owning all of the racism donald trump has brought to america. now have a monsoon rains of caused havoc across large parts of south asia unleashing flash flooding and landslides and washing away buildings more than 130 people have been killed in paul india pakistan bangladesh all been hit in more than

a week ago we were talking about the rain in mumbai where we had twice the monthly average rainfall for july in just the 1st 7 days of the month so it's one of those things the rains to pulse they come and go it's never a nice steady sheet of rain moving across the region further heavy rain there across the west and gets eastern parts of india as well seeing some of that wetter weather there you go with the showers a little more broken up across me a modern much of bangladesh generally being dry you can see further north we've got that wet weather which will sit its way across northern most parts of the region so more big downpours coming into nepal that rain stretching its way across the far more of india little cooler than it has been recently in new delhi and heavy rain continuing for northern pakistan sammy. now in northeastern india more than a 1000000 people have been displaced by those monsoon rains but in other areas people are experiencing severe droughts a government report found 600000000 indians are facing high to extreme stress over

difficult not just for us but for the whole city. the region is suffering a severe heat wave and seasonal monsoon rains haven't arrived many reservoirs are almost empty this is one of the 4 main ones in chennai a city of around 11000000 people. lives in a more affluent area than mohammed tanker supply those living in her apartment block with water every day but she says it's expensive and there's not enough there are times like when morning 7 o'clock we not have water and that's when we need to get ready to leave or walk and sometimes you want to want to you in but out for the 1st few it is we have no other gys but to use the drinking water because there was no water but ok we had the offered ability so we did but looking at it it's a can i you know the big bringing water out and then to use it for your satellite images show the city's largest reservoir at put a lake has almost emptied over the past year one development expert says the city's

authorities have wrongly invested in big projects like desalination plants instead of making better use of existing facilities at the moment and they said he is facing a bit if he would want to play this and the government is also indebted to in crisis management but cases management going to be the solution you really have to think very loudly i do as a means of watts storing it in water in that additional water bodies that are available are plenty i don't miss it if millions of liters of water are being brought into chennai by train but the metropolitan water board authority says its water storage practices aren't to blame for the shortage it's the weather still this sort of scene could be repeated in other parts of the country a government funded study says there are 20 other cities across india that are facing the same problem and are schapelle al-jazeera. at least 2 people have been killed and dozens of feared trapped after a 4 story residential building collapse in the indian city of mumbai the building

supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has been meeting with all the friday prayer sermon delivery people at an event to mark the 1st time that the friday prayer services were held in the islamic republic since the revolution in 1079 no at this event he addressed 2 main issues that are very very important at the moment one the seizure of the grace one vessel that is carrying 2000000 barrels of iranian crude oil that was seized by the british navy in the strait of gibraltar on july 4th the supreme leader says that this vicious act that carried out by the british government will not be left unanswered that this is an act of piracy and the british government is trying to legitimize their actions and that is something they are certainly not tolerate this is the 1st time we've heard from the supreme leader on this specific issue it is a very very hot topic here many say that this is

a illegal seizure of iranian oil and that they will not stand for it we've heard from various officials but this is the highest level authority in iran who is commenting on the seizure of this vessel the supreme leader also went on to talk about the nuclear agreement of 2015 he recognize all the hard work that has been done by the country's foreign ministry in this issue and he said that iran will certainly continue to reduce its commitment to the nuclear deal he said that the european signatories have 11 commitments to fulfill under 6 this agreement and they have yet to fulfill a single one so for the future in the future of the iranians will continue to reduce their commitments to the nuclear agreements of 2015 all of those job rather than from to her own. now iran has just confirmed the arrest of a french iranian researcher. was detained on monday shortly after

reports of the detention surfaced french president to demand that explanation from to her on the reasons for the arrest and not clear turkey says european union sanctions won't deter it from drilling for oil and gas off the coast of cyprus e.u. foreign ministers have suspended talks with turkey over an air transport agreement and called for the european investment bank to review turkish lending to control of the northern part of cyprus is not internationally recognized greek cypriots control the south of the mediterranean island cinema cazalet joins us now live from istanbul so susan why is ankara downplaying the seriousness of the new moves. well turkey believes that the citizens taken by the council are mainly due to some pressure imposed by greece and the greek side for it sunday you counsel and turkey

believes that those measures mentioned are political much awaited firstly. first the about the banks because turkey's foreign minister said that the e.u. always criticizes parties to give political recommendations to the banks but this is what they are doing also the every ation agreement between e.u. and turkey turkey says their anchor although they drop the say agreement. i guess the question is is this driven by political or economic concerns that this point soon though. well it is it cuts both ways actually because politicly turkey believes that it should be and is there mediterranean because it has a long coast and even countries so that doesn't have course by the eastern

mediterranean sea are operating in those waters and economically of course it wants to use the natural resources which are in its sea shelf plus it has it wants to protect turkey 5 bits of turkey fact its rights are surrounding the island all right thanks so much so in course all of that yet another detailed description of the continuing war in yemen has been published and it makes disturbing reading the independent organization watan or for human rights documented the killings of hundreds of civilians last year homes markets and roads all targeted in indiscriminate air strikes and ground attacks and anti personnel landmines have killed dozens activists say both the yemeni government and toothy rebels continue to recruit child soldiers 2 soldiers from the saudi led coalition are accused of torturing and sexually assaulting children and arbitrary

arrests continue with yemenis being tortured and killed for their religious beliefs or for being media workers. and more to work early as the chairman for more tunnel for human rights joins us now live from paris good to have you with us it's a very depressing picture from airstrikes to drone strikes to landmines it sounds like all sides are simply increasingly feel like they can do whatever they like in yemen is that an accurate picture. yes there are no clean hands when it comes to parties to the conflict in yemen they are all committing horrible violations against civilians with a huge lack of accountability so it's the military crisis but through this annual report we are saying it's also a human rights crisis which all the violations led to the humanitarian crisis what

is the main obstacle to any accountability as you put it. because. no one cares about what happening in yemen each party to the conflict has its own lies. fear that will never be accountable so for example saudis and. they are stronger by being supported by their allies you as you can find and host these themselves they hide behind the violations of their saudi and material condition and other so it's that lack of accountability it just makes it very difficult they have it's a very preventable violations and necessary violations but they all are doing this violations because they don't care so human if even if there is a war human does it have to be the worst humanitarian disaster it's the worst humanitarian disaster because of the attitude of all parties to the conflict among

the war and because they just don't care and no one pushed them to care what difference would investigation by the united nations human rights council makes i know you're calling for the us. yeah so with a group of eminent experts that we finally could have out of the human rights councils and so in 20182017 are doing a very good work but their mandate is very limited and now we are asking for a. commission of inquiry with a stronger monday where there is a very clear reference to accountability and they can do more investigations in yemen and they can also determine line individuals parties to the conflict who are doing these violations this is the least that can be happen as a step towards accountability in yemen. thank you so much struggle to work.

we'll have more weather with everton but still ahead here in al-jazeera the classroom kids in mozambique without a roof over their heads like damage taking months to repair to get to grips with the number one sport in southern russia. and england's cricketers are all over after their world cup victory i'm here with all the details. and hearing about the flooding in south asia along with southern and eastern parts of china not to be outdone we have flooding in the southeast of asia as well particularly into the philippines you can see this huge swathe of cloud you see how it's just swerving away there just moving across lose all northern and central

parts of the philippines particular have seen huge amounts of rainfall recently 130 millimeters of rain here this is actually tropical depression down asked locally it's known as falcon has now developed just around the east side of the philippines you can see that large area of dark shading on the chart there and that's where we're going to see the worst of the conditions over the next next couple of days there will be widespread flooding the winds not really a problem but we are going to see a lot of heavy rainfall coming down across a similar area as we go through the remainder of this week a man it'll push up that eastern side of china hopefully staying off shore but see this huge blanket of plow this huge sheath of cloud this just making its way into wars year southeastern parts of china already have seen lots of rainfall over $100.00 millimeters of rain here in the past 24 hours wetter weather now in the process of just not seeing a little further north with so for the southeast it does look largely dry it should stay largely dry as we go on into. to thursday but the rains are slowly gathering

our time. i want europe to become the 1st climate neutral continent in the world by 2050 or journal joins us now from strasburg she's been trying to reach out to some of those liberal and leftist blogs how is that message going down there in parliament jonah. well look we'll have to wait and see it's going to be a tense afternoon ahead of the vote in the early evening a knife edge vote this and i think nobody will be quite sure whether she's managed to win over enough doubters with her barnstorming speech during the morning until those votes are counted of course anger in the room about the process which brought her to this position a sort of selection by the e.u. council heads of state rather than a democratic process that would have taken place in the context of this parliament she's got to and overcome that as well as objections on various aspects of her policy and the pledges and promises that she's made leading up to this let me bring

in my guest david mcallister belongs to the european peoples party of course. does as well you've known her for a very long time 20 years your party grouping will be supporting her the liberals as well perhaps the social democrats will it be enough do you think to get her comfortably across the line. especially after his speech this morning i'm optimistic she will be able to be elected tonight got the full support of the european peoples party who gets most of our liberal colleagues will vote for but a number of social democrats will also vote for it's a secret ballot and i think what she did today was to present the guidelines for the future of the european union and she's just a convinced european but also a convincing european there's a root there is real anger in the room though isn't there about that electoral process that got her here she wasn't one of the mainstream spits and counted out and candidates in the european parliament in the european parliamentary elections will she be able to overcome that will this parliament be able to overcome that

objective yes there is disappointment and i share this disappointment i am in favor of disputes in kind of concept i'm in favor of the spits kind of that process i campaign for manfred river in germany during the european elections but still there was no majority for one of the spits in among the heads of government so we had to face reality and it is a surprise candidate but she's certainly an excellent choice for this position but what we do need and this is an expectation across the political groups in this european parliament we want legal clarity how we can guarantee that at the next european elections we don't have these difficulties again it's not just about an absolute majority of 374 it's about a comfortable majority and mandate in excess of 400 she's almost certainly going to need the help of nationalists the italians the ariens the polish that doesn't make for a particularly comfortable parliament. in terms of the decisions and crises that it

faces or 1st of all it's a secret ballot you don't know who's going to vote for the father died and who's going to vote against. the radical right today was very clear that they are completely against. made that it does that she's not interested in getting their votes how can you avoid this situation by being dependent on certain nationalist parties. if all the pro european constructive political parties in this parliament voted in favor of her what i criticize is for instance the german greens saying we are not going to vote for also funded line and then finger pointing at conservative parties who might vote for her so why did the pro european constructive forces vote for it was left alone together there are no worries david mcallister i have to leave it there thank you so much for your insight the votes take place at 6 pm local time the results will come in 2 hours after that it's going to be a close run thing for the line and you'll be there to watch it for us thanks so much for now jonah 30 radius the deputy defense minister has met the u.n. special envoy to yemen calling for an end to what he said was iranian interference

it comes as yemen's warring sides met to reinforce the cease fire in and around the key port city of data that ceasefire has been repeatedly violated the u.n. says representatives from yemen's government and who the rebels also discuss ways to pull back their forces are reports why an ngo is due to be released in the coming hours which is expected to detail human rights violations by all sides former south african president jacob zuma is back at a state commission hearing on corruption he says he's received death threats monday he told the inquiry is the target of a conspiracy so he was forced from office last year accused of overseeing the mass looting of state funds he denies any wrongdoing during his 9 years as president. also in south africa people in the city of cape town are accusing police of not

being able to control gang violence more than 900 people have been killed in battles over gang territory since the beginning of the year the government's now preparing to deploy the army for me the mill has the story. for people living here the cape flats is a war zone turf battles between feuding gangs that means hundreds of lives are lost every year many of them bystanders unable to escape the bullets michael ware not using his real name belongs to a gang he says he can't survive outside it only vital to know policing the situation. he she picking through all of the stuff. you feel you have i've got little ability of i've got the skills but i think you know i could do a reaping the power will go out even we need to go to never been stopped but just used to it would you be looking at gangs make money by selling drugs the battle for

territory means more customers and higher revenue 18 months ago the government set up the anti gang unit whose work is to root out gangs guns and drugs it conducts daily raids searching the homes of known drug dealers and drug dens while the unit has made hundreds of arrests the city of cape town says there are nearly not enough officers now the army is being deployed to help curb the violence special operations like this haven't stopped gang violence on the cape flats according to government statistics the number of murders has increased this weekend alone 43 people were murdered more than half of them by gunshot people in this community say there aren't enough police and they think the presence of the army will make things safer. many people here accuse the police of being ineffective and corrupt in 2016 a police officer in charge of disposing confiscated firearms was jailed for selling

the guns worth half a $1000000.00 to gangsters. this man who doesn't want to be identified and belongs to a gang in levante hill says poor policing is common i don't think the people think the people only willing to put the little only institute india gish in the closer so you know was when you get it in something in a in only a. little in what did would you like them to please is what i'm going to think money they get you now a good guy that gets in i would the high arming the more you see the guy working again while they may be from different gangs and often find themselves on the streets and. all the gang members we spoke to agree on one thing cindy in the army would only bring a temporary peace and that violence would likely return to the cape flats as soon as it withdraws from al-jazeera on the cape flats in cape town. communities in central mozambique are struggling to rebuild their lives 4 months on from 2

a reason why there's so much pushback here in mexico on one end mexico the united states have no agreement that would force mexico to house asylum seekers that's something that mexico would have to ratify via legislation it would be up to the mexican congress to determine that mexico is to be designated a quote unquote safe 3rd country without approval from congress mexico is in no way obligated to adopt or accommodate to this new change in policy in the united states this is something that the foreign minister of mexico my sent abroad has said is not going to happen the foreign minister has also said that he does not agree with this decision by the united states and and in no way will mexico be changing its own immigration policies or its own asylum policies to accommodate for this new change in the united states furthermore this is one aspect of the migrant crisis that keeps getting brought up in this stemming the flow of migrants it being up to mexico to stem the flow of migrants that's the pressure that the united states has

on mexico yet these policies do nothing to address the root causes of migration in central america countries like honduras guatemala as well as the salvator which are rampant political corruption widespread poverty and of course the high levels of violence plaguing these countries. the law house of the u.s. congress has passed 2 bills on saudi arabia condemning human rights abuses and seeking sanctions over the murder of saudi journalist. it's also criticized riyadh for detaining female human rights activists because bill received an overwhelming $405.00 to $7.00 vote requiring the director of national intelligence to name those involved in the killing of this 5 the strong bipartisan backing the measure is maybe a challenge in the republican dominated senate. trumpet ministrations says facebook's digital currency could become a security threat president donald trump has dismissed the liberal having little standing or dependability comments by the treasury secretary will further steve
