12:07 am
and human rights mean more says the same sions don't go far enough it's better late than never i just want to know why it took us so long after other countries and i and others have raised this issue if a firm has listed 6. generals that should be on that that should be sanctioned immediately especially repertory young the league said reports for me and more in recent weeks suggested human rights violations and abuses by the army and armed fighters against civilian populations may be getting worse a particular concern an ongoing internet and mobile phone blackout in myanmar as record and chen stakes the question is. did the government of myanmar impose the internet. to inflict more time on the people living in rakhine. the internet blackout has also prevented individuals wanting to
12:08 am
engage with me from being able to make contact. it is challenging to get information on what is happening on the ground under these circumstances but i have been told that 3 villages in rakhine have been burned down by the model in the last 2 weeks in 2017 a military crackdown in iraq and state caused more than 730000 rohingya muslims to flee to neighboring bangladesh according to un investigators mass killings gang rapes and arson were perpetrated by me in march military and executed with genocidal intent a team from the international criminal court is now in bangladesh to investigate what happened the i.c.c. prosecutor $52.00 have been sued or is asked to launch a formal investigation into the violence many are waiting and hoping that will become a reality. now british m.p.'s have made it more difficult for the next prime
12:09 am
minister to push through a new deal breaks that by suspending parliament a majority of m.p.'s have just very said for an amendment that will ensure that parliament stays open and the run up to the october 31st deadline for breakfast but our correspondent joins us now live from london so john i even though we don't yet have a confirmed prime minister we do now know what he can't. while we know some of what he can do and as you say this amendment a crucial victory really for opponents in parliament to no deal curtails the future prime minister probably boris johnson let's face it ability to probe or unilaterally suspend parliament in order to force through the sort of brics that he wants by all accounts and no deal breaks it would not be a problem for him unopposed with m.p.'s no longer sitting that's
12:10 am
a big big deal to be sure it doesn't rule out no deal all together that would require an act of parliament but it's a big step in the right direction for m.p.'s as a say opposed to a no deal a big victory this by a much bigger margin than anyone expected 17 conservative party m.p.'s rebelling against the government a number of senior ministers abstaining all of that a sign to boris johnson if he is indeed to succeed to resume a next week of the difficulties that will remain in this parliament as they have done all along in getting through the sort of breaks it acceptable to the conservative party m.p.'s will be hoping now. some m.p.'s certainly that juror in the autumn they can find the means to take control of the business of parliament as they did earlier this year and try to lay down legislation that would effectively make no deal illegal they're not at that point yet but they have certainly bought themselves some time and break it down for us what does all of
12:11 am
this mean especially as we're heading towards up $10.00 to $30.00 fast presumably even if there is yet another extension or the same obstacle is going to remain. yes i think that's what these numbers indicate assuming and i think it is safe to assume that it's boris johnson i mean look mr johnson in the campaign has said october 31st is briggs's day do or die quote unquote he's also set up all sorts of brand new red lines around renegotiating the existing deal with the european union that the european union have said they will not do so he's made the idea of a deal less likely now the prospect of a no deal becomes more complicated that pushes us pushes us into the territory during the course of an extension presumably of a possible general election which the conservatives are not relishing because they've got no guarantee of winning it they may therefore in the final analysis choose the idea of a 2nd referendum again we're nowhere near that point but that is where this

hello again a welcome back well this i want to take you down here towards where the western part of on specifically over here towards israel where on wednesday they received the temperature in saddam about 49.9 degrees celsius now this broke a record for july and normally of course the temperatures get quite hot they are below sea level but over the next few days they do have heat warnings in effect for much of this area especially in the inland areas as well as the lower lying areas but here on our map for jerusalem not too bad for you we're looking at a time for there of about $27.00 degrees beirut's going to be seeing about $29.00 degrees but as we go towards saturday temperatures here in aleppo rise as well to about $36.00 well here across the gulf it is the winds that we have been dealing with over the last couple of days winds are going to be dying down though as we go into the weekend so one more day here and 40 degrees and windy conditions coming
12:17 am
out of the northwest but by the time we get towards saturday the winds going to die down the temperatures are coming up to about 4440 degrees and the scott we do expect to see a high temperature few of 30 degrees there and then very quickly we do have a a quick moving storm pushing across much of the cape cape town seeing some clouds pushing through as well but for temperature wise we're going to see about 15 degrees there in durban at about 27 for you. insulation indicates to have or associated the incident occurred at least apartment has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many opportunities for the computer to get who's checking those offices who commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that your son the truth is road to. kill becoming a suspect before the actual crime and then depth examination into preventative policing pre-crime on al-jazeera. succeeded discussions with your team was the
12:18 am
deadliest year the aviation industry has experienced for some time examining the headlines many foreign journalists including those from al-jazeera have had their licenses revoked their offices raided explore an abundance of world class programming designed to inform motivate and inspire that convinced me this was the conservation chance in my life that the world is watching. al-jazeera. and i again i'm just. a reminder about top stories this hour iran's revolutionary guards have seized
12:19 am
a foreign tank they say was trying to smuggle oil the announcement was made a few hours ago however the tanker was reportedly seized on sunday just south of la rock island in the strait of hormuz. turkey has called the u.s. decision to suspend it from the f. 35 fighter jet program unfair saying it will harm their relations washington acted after attack he accepted that. russia's s 400 defense system. and the un special rapporteur on human rights in myanmar says the persecution of the rich is still ongoing she says villages have been burned down in recent days and she's been prevented from getting in to gather information. now the u.s. president has stepped up his attacks on 4 democratic congresswoman of color while addressing supporters that a rally his racist tweets telling them to go home have gone condemnation both in the u.s. and abroad the u.k. as foreign secretary jeremy hunt has described the comments as totally offensive
12:20 am
white house correspondent candy how get reports from greenville in north carolina. historic greenville north carolina is a southern town with a diverse economy centered around health care and education so it's not surprising there are many here unhappy with their president's tweets targeting 4 female congress women of color saying if they don't like the united states they can leave i think. no one can. think. with him reacting. making it personal. that's not how you bring people together. no matter how distasteful many believe donald trump might be across town at his 1st campaign rally since announcing his re-election bid
12:21 am
defended his attacks on the floor congresswoman and launch new attacks on congresswoman. she looks down with contempt on the hard working american saying that ignorance is pervasive in many parts of this country omar has a history of launching this year's anti-semitic screen. omar responded on twitter to the crowd chanting center back with a poem from american civil rights activist maya angelo still as trump addressed supporters he insisted he's helped communities of color by lowering unemployment also hailed a failed vote in the house of representatives to impeach him as a victory and they want to try and impeach it's a disgrace. polls show a majority of us voters see trump's twitter attacks on the congresswoman as
12:22 am
un-american but polls also show. most conservatives support the president's controversial statements so expect trump to employ more not less race baiting in his reelection campaign as he vilifies the female democratic lawmakers many now call the squad terms tactic of labeling a group of female congress women is vicious socialist the left wing cranks appears to be part of a broader strategy designed to use american pride to not only hold on to a base of support but also when new voters can really help get al jazeera greenville north carolina let's speak to eric hamm who is an american political analyst and he's joining us now from washington d.c. eric let me start by asking you to take the political temperature over there what's the feeling like on capitol hill now after the congressional web you chris saw this week and the president seemingly taking no notice of. yeah washington right
12:23 am
now is experiencing a major heat wave in a dozen me and it gets even harder when you go to capitol hill when you look at the fights the battles that are taking place not only did you have the house take this a rebuke of the president which is unprecedented but then immediately following that you have congressman al green introducing these impeachment articles so even though that that that failed you still have just a recalcitrant president and a very tense for taking place that's coursing all throughout washington and eric there are scenes that we've seen of people chanting racist comments at a presidential rally a presidential rally is this an example of how the polarization of american politics is now polarizing american society itself. it's. you know just when we thought it couldn't get any worse this one with if we thought it couldn't get any lower particularly when you look at what took place immediately in the aftermath of
12:24 am
charlottesville and then you see the president standing at that podium with the imprimatur of the white house of the u.s. presidency and then you have the races screech from the audience and the president seeming to continue to go that it seems as though we have moved in a place beyond reproach in fact even the columnist the conservative columnist george will believe that where the president is leading the country now is a place that perhaps we we cannot actually return from so it's a very dark day in washington well eric let me ask you how republicans are reacting because we've seen such muted condemnation from most of them so far has this last rally and the escalating outrage has that changed anything. unfortunately it has not we still see that only a handful of conservatives are willing to speak out against this president in fact when you look at the resolution that passed on monday rebuking the president only for congress conservatives actually supported that resolution and fact one of the
12:25 am
members who supported the resolution is actually retiring so we don't really see the profiles in courage from the conservatives to actually go after the president for the racist comments and i think what you're seeing is a president who has unequivocal e taken control of not just the republican party but the soul itself of the party is there any of this likely to have any kind of impact on the presidential election next year i mean it it appears that very little seems to shift the views of trump space. well no you're right and i think what we're seeing is we're seeing the president right now unveil his strategy that will take place over the course of the next 15 months a strategy that will invoke fear racism nativism and seek to divide the country and it will be interesting to see how the democrats respond with many of the invective that we're seeing coming from the president and unfortunately his supporters erick
12:26 am
ham an american political analyst there joining us from washington always a pleasure to have you on out of there eric while a prominent u.s. senator chuck schumer has called on the f.b.i. to investigate one of the most popular applications in the wild face that he is concerned it could pose national security and privacy arrests the millions of americans since the company is based in russia now face up has been installed on more than 100000000 android phones and it's the most popular application in the i tunes store you take a photo and then it uses artificial intelligence to manipulate the image to make you look older or younger or even change agenda privacy watchdogs say that uses need to read the fine print because they granting the company a license to use their images forever and however the company wants to face up says it deletes most photos from that service off to 48 hours and that it doesn't send data to the russian government. is that code and digital expert who we spoke to
12:27 am
earlier he says the public should be concerned about their privacy regardless of the ownership of apps and question. americans have some of the worst rights when it comes to privacy and the world were a little better in the e.u. with the general data protection regulation that g.d.p. are but in america it's a free for all i mean remember that when it when it comes to facebook and google doing the same thanks you know americans call it innovation and disruption and they celebrate it it's again only when the russians and chinese are involved when they're like ok this could be bad yeah but it's bad in general you know we should be looking at alternatives we should be looking at funding alternatives because you know all the funding goes into these sort of businesses venture capital billions or are spent creating new types of businesses based on surveillance you know we should be looking at alternatives there how do we fund technology that is in the common good maybe we need to start thinking about funding it from the commons maybe
12:28 am
instead of big tech we should be thinking about small tech how do we fund technologies that are just tools for people not surveillance devices we need to start having these conversations and not just in reaction to the latest leak or the latest app that has a privacy issue that you know blows up on twitter we start talking about this is a systemic issue. now staying in the tech space and g. 7 finance ministers have been meeting in france playing down the prospects for facebook's plan digital currency the tech giant is also facing resistance in the united states where the cryptocurrency known as a neighbor came under attack and senate hearings this week charlie rangel reports. introducing libra a new global currency as product launches go digital coin libra has been one of the worst in the u.s. senators lined up to attack facebook over its plans for a new cryptocurrency saying the tech giant cannot be trusted facebook is burned

down the house over and over in every arson a learning experience look at facebook's record we'd be crazy to give them a chance to experiment with people's bank accounts to use powerful tools they don't understand like monetary policy to jeopardize hardworking americans ability to provide for their family. now it's become a priority for g 7 finance ministers meeting in france they've decided facebook must address certain laws and regulations before it can code launch libra and they're setting up a task force to manage the risk of crypto currencies france's finance minister warns an unregulated currency would create problems all sovereign states sobering currencies. and so. they are sticking to some very strong commitments some very strong words we cannot accept to have the new currency having exactly the same kind of power without the same kind of. libor would allow users to
12:30 am
buy products and transfer money for nearly no fees facebook says it would not fully control the currency but have just $1.00 vote in the liberal association which includes other companies including visa. but unlike bitcoin libras value would be tied to national currencies the number of bitcoins is limited. $21000000.00 the supply of labor would be determined by the deeper association and subject to supply and demand government financial regulators and banks share the concern that widespread adoption of the digital currency by facebook's 2300000000 users could opt in the financial system and for now they're fighting to keep facebook out to finance. our desire. native hawaiian protesters are blocking the construction of a $1000000000.00 telescope on land they say is hurry but now the state's governor has signed an emergency proclamation granting police the power to clear the site

12:32 am
protests and legal battles and for several days why it's have blocked construction crews from making their way up even though the state supreme court has ruled they can go ahead thousands of protesters are now at the site and if we slow them down and they continue to proceed it could be even a long struggle over prepared for that and we need one you really really confident that they will not get that done that in that building built and it will be built they have the support of hollywood celebrities including some with hawaiian heritage their slogan we are mona kiya. but the local governor has granted police extra powers to block the demonstrations and dozens have been arrested or even though law enforcement has done everything it can to talk in reason with protesters the protesters continue to break the law. in place the safety of the public risk the project supporters see all of humanity stands to gain for the discoveries the telescope may make but the message from its opponents is think about making them

u.s. kicks turkey out of its f. $35.00 fighter jet program the consequence of russia's latest ad offense system arriving in ankara. it's now going to be harder for the u.k.'s next prime minister to deliver a no deal breaks it will tell you why. i'm florence li in bronwyn village east java indonesia where the world's plastic waste problem and the failures of the recycling system are laid back. we begin with developments in the gulf iran's revolutionary guards have seized a foreign tank and they say was trying to smuggle oil the announcement was made several hours ago but the tanker was reportedly seized on sunday just south of the loric island and the strait of hormuz the island is home to a god base and is the closest to rein in territory to our mum on this is how the
12:50 am
tank a seizure was announced on iranian state television. they are very new to a patrolling operation to find in-flight fuel smuggling of ships passing through the persian gulf on sunday revolutionary boats found a foreign ship carrying 1000000 liters of smuggled fuel and after coordinating with judicial authorities they seized it and 12 crew members a correspondent also jabari has more from tehran. the revolutionary guard able forces where on an anti smuggling mission in the waters of the strait of hormuz when they came across this vessel on sunday they said that it was suspicious the cargo on board so they decided to investigate further and after that they decided that they needed to pursue legal venues to seize this vessel and that is what they did on sunday the revolutionary guard statement says that the vessel was seized near the rock island in the strait of hormuz with 12 crew members on board apparently this vessel had fueled up from iranian dows where it was heading further
12:51 am
south in the strait of hormuz to sell the fuel that it had on board that is when the arabians decided to carry out an operation and seize this ship of course this all comes at a time where tensions are very high in the strait of hormuz a number of incidents have taken place here and also noteworthy is the seizure of a new reigning in oil tanker in the strait of gibraltar on july 4th where it caused major incident between the iranian government and the british because the british navy seized the grace one oil tanker which was carrying $2000000.00 barrels of iranian crude oil they said that it was heading to syria and that is why they seized that but they were angels have said that that was not the destination of that vessel and they're demanding it to be returned this quickly as possible this incident on thursday the announcement from the revolutionary guard appears to be a different situation where the revolutionary guard has yet again shown that it is capable of carrying out the measures needed to secure the waters of the strait of
12:52 am
hormuz and they have in fact sat in the past that this is their number one priority the revolutionary guard me will forces are concerned with the security of the strait of hormuz and they will do everything in their power to make sure that their area remains stable well earlier i spoke to mohammad marandi who is the political analyst and tehran and he gave me his perspective on how iran and viewing the situation. i think that expect a sions among many in iran is that if you run is to retaliate it has to go after a far bigger target or numerous targets because a many people in iran feel that. it is time for you iran to push back and when the british carry out what the iranians consider an act of piracy and impede iranian tankers that then the iranians which have much many more. many more tankers available for them to retaliate against i think iranians have they expect the
12:53 am
government to do something on the other hand the iranians in iran there is a people people's patience is. is growing thin with regards to the emirates and the fact that the emirates plants in the allow american drones to take off and fire alongside iranian airspace i think that as things stand at the emirates the british the americans are pushing. iran towards a point where they feel they have to retaliate and iran's announcement of the ships these are all happened as u.s. central command general kenneth mckenzie was in saudi arabia he met with the saudi general in charge of the coalition fighting yemen's shrieky rebels the 2 discussed the situation in the gulf and how to ensure safe passage for ships off the coast of yemen and iran. we just simplifies that we don't believe war with iran is inevitable and we don't seek war with iran. what we seek is to tear around from
12:54 am
destabilizing and malign activities across the region and we believe the recent adjustments that we've made to our force posture have had some effect toward that end i still acknowledge that tracks by iranian proxies are occurring against the king or saudi arabia from yemen and that's a problem that needs to be addressed now the u.s. house of representatives has rebuked the president by voting to bilk the sale of some alms to saudi arabia a similar measure was passed by the senate last month but the president on a is expected to veto the resolutions how correspondent mike hanna reports from washington d.c. the joint resolution is passed. the house passes 3 bills expressing disapproval at arms sales to saudi arabia 238 vote in favor 190 against the 1st bill dealt with the sale of precision guided missiles the 2nd with the export of smart bombs and the 3rd was aimed at blocking the sale of hughes's needed
12:55 am
to amen detonate the missiles and bombs the bulls had earlier been passed in the senate and will now go to the white house but president trump has made clear he'll exercises veto and it appears neither house nor senate could raise the 2 thirds majority that would be needed to reject the veto and pass a law as without presidential signature. yet this bipartisan move by congress will have an impact this moment congress is clearly not interested in excel or reading american support for saudi arabia in its war in yemen and does not like having its authority usurped by the executive branch when it comes to approving arms sales it's making a statement it's laying down a marker it understands that the president will ultimately get his way but over time it can wear down the opposition and potentially even override a veto. there are layers of reasons for congress's anger about president trump's relationship with saudi arabia earlier this year the president vetoed
12:56 am
a bipartisan bill demanding an end to u.s. support for saudi's war in yemen then he invoked emergency legislation citing a threat from iran to override a congregational ban on weapon sales and thirdly this still intense and gain congress that the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi and the steadfast refusal of president trump to hold the saudi leadership accountable but even if or when the president vetoes the latest round of legislation there will be more to come in particular a bull demanding a report from the u.s. intelligence community about the murder that has been included in the house version of the defense authorization bill 2020 that was passed by a resoundingly vote of 405 to 7. mike hanna al-jazeera washington now the united states and turkey may be longtime nato allies but that wasn't enough to stop washington from kicking taki out of its f.

35 fighter jet program a move that ankara says will harm their relations the program is designed to sell techie more than 100 american f. 35 stealth jets and to train texas pilots on how to use them stephanie decker reports. a clear statement of intent by the united states to remove turkey from its f. 35 program in reaction to turkey buying the s 400 air defense system from russia and receiving the 1st shipments the u.s. and other f. 35 partners are aligned in this decision to suspend turkey from the program and initiate the process to formally remove turkey from the program as president trump said in his statement today the u.s. still values our strategic partnership with turkey the u.s. president made it clear he blamed the previous administration for refusing to sell the u.s. patriot air defense system to turkey in the 1st place he wanted to buy
12:58 am
a patriot missile we would sell it and then when he made a deal and he really wanted to buy it when he made a deal with another country russia to buy this is them that he didn't even want. then all of a sudden we say oh ok well so you will now sell you the patriot every because of the fact he bought a russian missile we're not allowed to sell of billions of dollars worth of aircraft it's not a fair situation years of the good of them those are you going to well i think so that you set the record. but it is a serious matter turkey has signed a deal to buy more than 100 of the new jets it says it's still waiting for official notification of its suspension from the f. 35 program but says the move is unfair the americans maintain it threatens their military security the russians who will assist in operating the 400 system could in theory work out the radar signatures of the air 35 the f. 35 as you may know is
12:59 am
a stealth fighter that means that it isn't invisible but it does have a very much reduced radar signature and by operating the system that the radar of the has 400 it might be able to detect how the aircraft might become visible and then vulnerable to the russian system but analysts also say they don't see it creating a rift in the alliance nato secretary-general praise turkey's role but i'm saying that turkey as a nato member is much more than 400. liveries expected to be completed by next year until then no one can be sure how the military and political alliances may or may not shift stephanie decker. at least 9 people have been killed in a car bomb attack in southern afghanistan it happened near kandahar police headquarters after the initial blast security forces came under fire from several

attackers at least 60 people have been injured and the taliban has claimed responsibility. now un special envoy for yemen martin griffith says significant progress has been made towards peace in the country but he warned all warring factions that conflict will escalate further if they fail to uphold the stockholm agreement the war in yemen is now in its 5th year we are facing a crucial moment for the destiny of this war we need to think now together of the realities and opportunities which define chass of making a move of peace the redeployment of some coalition forces in parts of yemen our senior coalition officials have themselves confirmed this act is intended to place peace 1st at the center of their of efforts to restore peace and stability in.
