of the christian broadcaster of the year. this is al-jazeera. a welcome piece of w. watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes it's up to them do what they want they can't leave they can stay they should love our country donald trump says he doesn't have a racist bone in his body as he faces growing condemnation for what many call racist comments against 4 u.s. congress women. the u.s. president also says there's been progress in talks between iran and the white house

but that progress is he won't say plus. that. the officers are what they bought them outside steps that they need to be off the pot. from the mother of the man who was choked to death by a policeman in new york after news there would be no charges against the officer. unarmed taylor nandan with the top stories from europe including. parliament now already appears german defense minister. as the next president of the european commission. ok let's get going the u.s. president donald trump is holding a cabinet meeting in front of cameras it comes as he faces growing accusations of being racist for his attacks on for congresswoman he said the women all u.s. citizens 3 of them ball. one in the u.s.

should go back to where they came from democrats in both houses were calling for a vote to condemn him their resolution says his tweets quote have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new americans and people of color mr trump is refusing to back down he's demanded that women apologize for what he describes as the quote foul language they've used and the terrible things they've said the women accuse him of trying to sow division and distract attention from his failed policies on immigration health care and taxation we ran on a mandate to advocate for and to represent those ignored left out and left behind our squad is a bit our squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable and just world and that is the work that we want to get back to and given the size of this squad and this great nation we cannot we

will not be silenced and so the 1st note that i want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says this country to you and it belongs to everyone and today that notion that very notion was challenge to well earlier today mr trump responded to that criticism he wrote those tweets were not racist i don't have a racist bone in my body the so-called vote to be taken is a democrat call non-game republicans should not show weakness and fall into their trap this should be a vote on the filthy language statements and lies told by the democrat congresswoman particle hain joins us live here on the news out of washington so he's not going to let this one go patty. no i think he sees this is a winner with his base and after all these are young women of color too are muslims

these are very progressive lawmakers and we've seen the leadership of the republican party come out and say that this resolution is not a good idea that they're going to vote against it but what the democrats are doing is they're putting republicans on record and the republicans running into a district that has any sizeable minority community is not what i want to going to have to take this vote so now they're trying to spin it we saw liz cheney congresswoman cheney come out and say this isn't about who they are what they are who they worship it's about their policies but it's important to point out that the president has never told a progressive white lawmaker to go back to their country so the president though he's continuing this controversy he sees it as a win he had a cabinet meeting it was supposed to be behind closed doors but they opened it up to the press and here's what the president had to say about this again they should love our country they shouldn't hate our country you look at what they've said i i have clips raised here the most vile horrible statements about our country about

israel about others. it's up to them to do what they want they can leave they can stay but they should love our country and they should work for the good of our country. is it significant in this broader debate across the country see the way that mr trump the son but on twitter again attacking before congress women where as they appear on camera as some sort of unified mini political force if you will and they talk directly to the people who voted for them in quite dignified quite quite careful terms. it was definitely a contrast to watch the day approaches of the 2 that what the president is doing is he's a catering to his base his mostly white base and what the democrats are counting out especially put it on these for congresswoman is that in the end when it comes to the election what the people who are going to show up and vote are their base

the minorities in this country the independents and a lot of political analysts landless i should say of question what the president here is doing he's catering to his base and he is very popular among republicans but they make up about 26 to 20 percent of the country it's hard to see how you want a nationwide election if you only have that level of support there is something a little bit different about this trying controversy and i know we've had so many of them but this is the 1st time that you've seen the media who have in the past always couched his language as racially charged or some people see it as now we have seen all the american mainstream media come out and labeled this tweet these comments racist so they're sending the message as well to the voters and 2020 but yes it is a quite the study in contrast see the president was surrounded by his cabinet of mostly all white men in these 4 young congresswoman coming forward and and standing up to the president states but what he's trying to do in the road to the election

is equate criticism of him and his policies with a hatred of america a lot of democrats are on the house floor saying that's just dangerous thanks very much let's stay with this let's bring in ireland or he's 1st vice president of the american immigration lawyers association and he joins us from washington as well as this eleanor this twit's of fights this broader fight tipped over into in a sense mr trump meeting his political needs the way he is talking clearly and obviously to only his political base here he's not even really talking to bits of the republican party in washington. that's correct i mean he's basically talking to his base in it and it's consistent with all of his messages on immigration and other in people has he annoyed his republican party in washington. i don't think he's annoyed them at all they're pretty much standing beside him and giving excuses and basically saying that no the women wear the races

for the comments that they made so they basically have stepped away from where they've been in the past it's really a shame to see such strong congressman fall to the trump administration but when you get people stephen you can wanting to move beyond this today as quickly as he reasonably could when he was asked about it a little earlier today that happened on camera unequally when you get people like anthony scaramucci on twitter calling the president what he's called him just in the past hour or so you know the the groundswell of opinion is kind of splitting down the middle here people who historically supported mr trump so closely saying no there is an issue here. i think they see a slight issue in the issues with regards to actually the elections that are coming forward they see it as a problem because they know the language i'm from the south here so that language is very racially charged and always has been to sort of tell people to go home it's also very very feminist thing to tell women also to go home so but with those

things consistently are problematic and people are recognizing that for the base and also recognizing that the biggest population in the united states are nonvoters and hopefully what they're doing are pushing these nonvoters to activate themselves to turn up at the polls other democrats going to make political gains out of this i think the democrats have already made the political gains out of it because he's fallen for the mistake and he's consistently done these policies and patterns with regards to immigration with regard to talking about people of color and sort of saying they're not part of our country when in fact every one of every shade in every color and belief that's part of our country. ok but when you get somebody like senator john coleman an advisor to mitch mcconnell saying and i quote what the president said it was a mistake and it was an unforced error that a significant this did not have to happen this is being caused by what mr trump initially said on twitter but again kind of in a circular way brings us back to the starting point of our conversation which is it

doesn't really matter because his base not not to put words in your mouth they don't care they don't care and he didn't walk it back i mean it's been 3 days and he hasn't he could have walked it back he could have said it's a misstatement but he's doubled down in today's tripling down and that's why the house has taken a vote he could have very easily on monday said i misspoke i didn't mean it in that fashion let me correct it but in fact he said the exact opposite eleanor thank you thank you federal prosecutors say they won't be charging the new york policeman involved in the chokehold death of a black american eric garners family say they are dismayed by the decision policeman daniel plan to layer arrested garner for selling cigarettes in a street in ny and garners last words i can't breathe were a rallying call for the black lives matter movement and provoked outrage about police using excessive force after an exhaustive investigation with department of justice has reached the conclusion that insufficient evidence exists

to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the police officers who arrested eric garner in staten island on july 17th of 2014 acted in violation of the federal criminal civil rights act consequently the investigation into this incident has been closed. live now to new york correspondent kristen salumi kristen what else can you tell us. well within hours of the justice department announcing that they would not pursue federal charges against officer daniel panta layo the mayor of new york bill de blasio issued a statement expressing his disappointment but that clearly is not enough for the family of eric garner and activists who within a matter of hours gathered here outside of city hall calling for officer panta layo

to be fired for the city to take stronger action to continue to press the issue now of course air garners death was caught on video the u.s. attorney who announced the decision not to press charges disputed accusations that the officer had used illegal chokehold in trying to subdue eric garner who had been resisting arrest for. china to sell cigarettes illegally on the street the department of justice says that there was not enough evidence to meet the very high threshold that is demanded of a police officer in this case that namely that he will fully use excessive force the disputed the claims that this was an illegal chokehold that he was trying to use on garner they said his overweight stature may have contributed to his poor health may have contributed in fact to his death and because of that they decided not to press charges the mother of eric garner when karr did speak here outside of

city hall and outside of the courthouse where that announcement was made and she said that this is really a letdown for the family. we have to go we have to fight this is not a easy fight but we kept on pushing. and make no mistake about it we're going to still push. you could push back but we're pushing forward because this is not good . and we're asking that commissioner to make the right decision. that officer officer pat the mayor and all the officers are with them but they must sidestep that they need to be off the porch of the streets of new york city is that safe what was going to brown. so wow no criminal charges against daniel panta layo are possible moving for a disciplinary action is still a possibility in the last month there was a disciplinary hearing and evidence was presented to an administrative judge that

judge is expected to make a recommendation to the police commissioner who could turn around and fire officer panta layo and certainly that is what activists several local leaders and the family of eric garner are calling for they're also calling for a protest demonstration to take place at 4 pm on wednesday and of course after an initial a no charges were filed in the case 4 years ago on a local level that resulted in thousands and thousands of people out in the streets we could see a repeat of that on wednesday kristen thanks very much less douglas sloan he's a senior principal consultant to the national capital strategy group he's also 1st vice president of the washington chapter of america's oldest civil rights organization the n.w.c. p he joins us from washington douglas slowed what's the message that's being sent out here. well i think the message that's being sent out

particular by the u.s. justice department is that black lives don't matter this was a this was caught on tape this was ruled by the new york medical examiner examiner to be in a legal place chokehold on eric garner eric garner died from compression of the neck we all saw this we all saw what happened and not only did the grand jury decline to indict or bring charges but also now we have the department of justice that declining to bring federal charges and declining bring civil rights charges william barr came down and broke the law jan and decided that there would be no federal civil rights charges brought against officer pants so the reason i think they're searching for a 2nd if i may that the reason. it's a day is correct me if i'm wrong here today's news basically boils down to they

would still have to showed no proof beyond reasonable doubt that the officer acted willfully and violates the law i.e. it may have been excessive force but did he know and was he deliberately deploying and using excessive force and today's judgment says we couldn't show that well the beauty of this issue is that we have everything on videotape. employing a chokehold which is used in mixed martial arts to disable and to bring someone down in a combat is not allowed by the new york city police department the fact that daniel panta layoffs a plan to label use they employed this illegal tactic on air garner and according

to a new york medical examiner caused his death i think shows willful use of it sets of force and i would say that those charges could be brought against them in a court of law because that is not a tactic that is allowed in the new york city police department officer operating under the color of the law you should know that understood punny for interrupting again a notice on her twitter feed going cost saying $11.00 times this is not the end if the officer is sacked if he's out of a job in a month or 2 or 3 would that be an acceptable and for the man's family's. ideally not because this is not the only incident of at cessna force used by the new york city police department nor by police departments across the country we need a whole sale. retraining and

of police departments across the country about how to deal with communities of color we are seeing this time and time again disparate treatment of blacks and other minorities at the hands of the police it is unacceptable we have to make a fundamental change in how our law enforcement agencies in departments police our communities it is imperative and we have to move forward so no it's not acceptable we have we need more ok it is not it's clearly not related at all to the debate that's going on in washington right now to do with your u.s. president donald trump and what he's been saying about for us congresswoman however does it chime with some sort of institutionalized as he chewed the negative consequences of which end up with a man dead on the streets in staten island. well

soon it stant i think it does because it was. donald chops and donald trump's attorney general william barr that came down and made the final decision on the justice department not pursuing civil rights violations against officer panta layo and the attorneys in the civil rights division of the justice department wanted to bring those charges if we had a different attorney general and a different president rest assured those charges would have been brought against the officer we're looking at per bayonets of. racist attitudes not only within our criminal justice system but with in our white house in general it goes all the way to the top and i would say that is a symptom of the man in the white house that we're seeing

a lot of the things that we're seeing today we're guarding the institutionalized racism in our criminal justice systems mr sloan we do appreciate your time sir thank you very much thank you for having me sanctions against drilling off the coast of cyprus that story still to come. and in the sports news. cycle woods will be aiming for his 1st open championship win since 2006. within the last of the european parliament is back on the line to head the european commission for more let's cross to lauren taylor in a european you sent. thanks peter yes it was a narrow win for the german defense minister who will now replace when he steps

down in october the e.u. parliament has voted 383 in favor of a lion as just 9 more than the minimum number of votes needed to get through on that island will now become 1st woman to hold the post of european commission president she has pledged unity for the. recent president and honorable of members of this folly and i feel so honored it's and i'm overwhelmed and i thank you for the trust you placed in me the trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in europe. i'm going to join a whole at the european parliament in strasburg what kind of promise is did she make. she made a number of i catching rather grand ambitious some say over ambitious promises trying to woo doubting any peace bear in mind on the lines named was basically

pulled out of a hat 2 weeks ago as far as anyone else is concerned anyway after a torturous backroom negotiations among e.u. heads of government she's called it in a press conference after the result the most difficult 2 weeks of her political life as she tried to grapple with the intricacies of top level european politics and form these policies and promises well she was willing particularly the liberals and the social democrats on the left with promises of big spending boosts on education programs more taxes on mounted multinational companies gender equality programs rule of roar and big policies on climate change and the environment the problem she's got now is having to be called to account for those promises and a lot of her conservative colleagues for instance in the e.p.a. the european people's party may not like the promises that she's made but more widely than that her support was drawn from right across the political spectrum sometimes just in pockets all the way from the socialists to the nationalists the

polish law and order party victor or bans government party in hungary which will complicate her promise as i say to stand down on rule of law to stand up rather for rule of law and in the process building a european union based on european values drawing a line under and against those who would seek to divide it from within i think for a lie and a way for thin majority she's got here is going to have quite a ride getting into the job of being commission president the top job in the european union of course and she is the 1st woman to hold it and aside from that difference how different in style you think she'll be from. well if they have been. comments and allegations over the past 5 years that there is a commission president of the pockets of heads of government of heads of state in the european union stagnant in desperate need of democratic reforms those comments

unlikely i think to persist over the next 5 years madame von the liar and don't forget as i say was drawn picked selected by the heads of government and state she will have to work extremely hard if she is to distance herself from that and there is this wafer thin majority just 9 seats 5 years ago at something like 50 seats and even then that was considered a very narrow majority i spoke a short while ago to david mcallister senior figure in the european peoples party i asked him how they might differ he said they were both convinced europeans both convincing europeans but they would differ in styles i think gone are the days of the bombastic sometimes belligerent. formulae and a mother of 7 a medical doctor likely are going to approach matters with a slightly gentler touch jenna health thank you very much indeed. the british pound sterling has plunged to a 27 month low against the dollar and hit a 6 month low as the euro markets are pricing a sharp

a higher risk of britain leaving the european union on october 31st without any transition trade deals and they're concerned by rhetoric from the 2 candidates vying to win support from conservative party members to be the next prime minister the favorite boris johnson and his rival jeremy hunt are both hardening their stances on the go with brussels that's despite the e.u. saying the withdraw agreement has been finalized and will not be reopened. wrestling is a way of life in dagestan the region in southern russia produces many world champions and step passing reports. it's not only the number one sport also way to keep young men away from gang violence and illegal drugs it's. rich or poor city kid village boy these tacky stine teenagers all share the same dream becoming an olympic champion many are brought to these wrestling schools by their parents who are worried about their future in what is known to be

a turbulent part of russia that a stand has seen violence by armed groups in the past and hundreds of russians many from this region are believed to have joined i sell the message on the school's banner is clear sports against drugs and terrorism. 13 year old. started training 3 years ago growing up without his mother in the outskirts of the main city. you found a new family in the wrestling school he says his coach did not only teach him wrestling techniques but gave him a purpose in life. i became calm my character his career used i became more respectful i now start to help people help them in times of trouble if i fail or if someone likes something i always give. ramadan and hundreds of d'agostini boys train for many hours each day in an effort to reach the top but only if you make it there is

a frightening is in their blood so to better use it in a positive way even children from the poorest families can become wrestlers to these kids wrestling is not just a sport it's a way of life it keeps them out of trouble and gives them some moral guidance. for many this man is their inspiration undefeated mixed martial arts fighter no marco made of who was born in the mountains of dagestan president vladimir putin on of him after his last winter in 2018 together which is also famous father who was recognized with the title of the new records of russia. i use my own methods my work is in the sports hall and my job is to prepare people so they'll be useful for society those people who destroy our society and what we have built we will always fight against them but it's difficult to tell how much impact wrestling has had on efforts to prevent young men joining armed groups but for boys like grandmas unless

no means for an expensive education it has offered more than that one dream of becoming a champion cultural i want to open a school and teach kids how to wrestle so they can stand on their own 2 feet become champions so they have success in life and make their parents happy and well for. and maybe one day he can teach abroad officials in pakistan are planning to open wrestling schools all over the world to threat not only their sport but don't wait a minute that passes al-jazeera sacristan russia. that's it from london back to you peter and. long thank you so much still to come here on the news hour i want to india's biggest cities has run out of water. fishing for a solution to plastic in india new zealand waters can the tide be turned for its threatened coast by. one of the world's most successful football coaches sufis 1st

robbery the islamic republic will not leave such a vicious acts without a response. from tehran. this supreme leader also went on to comment about the current status of the 2015 nuclear agreement he said that according to our foreign ministry the europeans have 11 commitments to fulfill under this deal and they have yet to fulfill one now when we decide to scale back our commitment they voiced their concern he said this is an act of insulin so they will not tolerate it the said he also said that iran will continue to scale back its commitment under this agreement and advance its nuclear program and that is something the country is the side of to do because the europeans have not upheld their end of the deal the supreme leader the highest authority in the islamic republic has made the position of this country very very clear when it comes to these 2 very important issues the tanker the seizure of the grace one oil tanker will not go on respond that the iranians will respond to this and the nuclear

agreement is something the iranians will now for the foreseeable future slowly gradually cut back their commitments to because they feel that the other signatories since united states withdrew from this agreement last year have not upheld their end of the deal. of the stories coming out of iran the arrest of a french iranian research being confirmed today. was detained on monday shortly after reports of detention the french president to manual demanded an explanation from tehran the reasons for the rest are not clear turkey is sending a 4th ship to explore for oil and gas off the coast of cyprus in defiance of e.u. warnings that is illegal e.u. foreign ministers have suspended talks with turkey over a transport agreement and called the european investment bank lending to the country turkey's control of the northern part of cyprus is not internationally recognized greek cypriots control some of the. well you know that in the mix for

many years we told if the greek cypriot side the e.u. or the un do not recognize the rights of the turkish cypriot side as a guarantor state we shall protect it and we started drilling what comes next as we told the e.u. if they take measures like these ones we will increase our drilling activities we currently have 3 ships in the area and we shall deploy the 4th vessel to the area. from istanbul as for ankara statement so far it seems turkey is positioned in this and mediterranean it stance will not change following the use the situation to curb contacts and funding for turkey turkey believes that this decision by the e.u. is mainly politically motivated as a result of the pressure by greece and the greek side because this is what believes and the measures the measures that are mentioned will not be taken seriously turkey

criticized for giving political recommendations to central banks and investment banks and foreign minister cho schultz said that this is what the e.u. has always been against then why are they doing this now also turkey believes that it has the upper hand in a surreal ations with the e.u. due to a refugee deal signed a couple of years ago for the syrian refugees turkey over the whole 3500000 syrian refugees and it has the power to stop this illegal refrigerate influx to e.u. that's why turkish ministers said that turkey will continue on its presence in this and mediterranean currently it has turkey has 3 ships one says make and 2 drill ships and they said mediterranean and will be sending a 4th one. soon as possible and the force ship is expected to be a suspect one. well the turkish president richard time per the onset of

controversial russian missile defense system will be fully deployed in april of 2020 despite threats of u.s. sanctions adding the next step would be to jointly produce s. 400 with moscow the 1st batch of the russian equipment was delivered to turkey in recent days even after repeated u.s. calls to cancel the deal or face punishment i had a good relationship with president out of work he wanted to buy our missile we wouldn't sell it and then when he may yet he really wanted to buy and then when he made it with another country russia provided their system that he didn't even want . that all over so we say oh ok we'll see you well now so you the venture and because of the fact he bought a russian missile we're not allowed to sell them billions of dollars worth of aircraft it's not a fair situation a palestinian man has died in an israeli jail and a palestinian human rights group says that happened as a result of medical negligence the group says the 31 year old was being held in

solitary confinement following his arrest in a raid a month ago bernard smith has more now from the man's home town of be it 5 jobs in the occupied west bank. 31 year old was arrested on june the 19th and we know that in just less than a month in israeli custody he's dead the family described. as an active healthy man a working man worked on a construction site we know that he was kept in solitary confinement saw his lawyer only once last week for a few minutes when he was in court to have his custody extended and then his lawyer asked for nasa to be given a hospital checkup that was done and he was released from hospital without any unusual findings according to the israeli all for it is now the palestinian or 40 says the israelis are responsible for not as nice as death and they want an international investigation overseen by the red cross the issue of palestinian prisoners hits home is very close to home for many palestinians to be hard pressed

to find anybody here who has got a relative or who know someone who hasn't been at some stage arrested by the israelis there are some 5000 palestinians in israeli prisons and since 1967 more than $220.00 have died in israeli custody there will be a post-mortem into nasa's death of course and the israelis say they will allow a palestinian pathologist to look in on that post more. not to build censoring saudi arabia passed the lower house of the u.s. congress one seeks sanctions over the murder of the journalist jamal the other condemns human rights abuses the detention of female human rights activists was also censored the overwhelming vote for the bill requires the director of national intelligence to name murder suspects the spite bypasses bipartisan backing the bills may be challenged in the senate that's dominated by republicans now is the time to make clear that reckless behavior whether the murder of an american

resident or the kidnapping of the lebanese prime minister where the blockade of cutter carry a price that the men rule saudi arabia need to take our interests and values into account rather than always counting on us to cover up for them. at least 78 people have died and have been forced to leave their homes after heavy rains triggered landslides and flooding so be mistrust reports from districts in the path of. their fields or room and many houses flattened this is the village of bottom in the district in the southern plains of nepad it's been 3 days since the monsoon rain started and the waters have just started receding here not one house has been spared even. when the water started rising i carried this child and started running away this is a 30 year davey's house the floors covered in mud then tired village more than

$400.00 people and their cattle have taken refuge on an embankment here most of the stocks of food they managed to salvage has been drying out there's a banquet runs along the bottom of the river now on friday there was so much water that all you could see was just rooftops and people here are saying that this has proven to be a lifeline for them the bag with the river remains in flood further downstream local people are helping security forces fix embankments local representatives are struggling to provide assistance with roads closed food supplies are running low villagers say they have very little to eat. we need a long term solution to these floods one of the main reasons our villages gets flooded is bad design of the new roads that are being built our villages are in a low land surrounded by 3 big rivers who can't resettle but we need the government
