with the hospital and then they weren't allowed to meet in private this all comes as he was taken to hospital with an allergic face reaction around 9 30 am is condition is said to be stable but anything that happens this man really concerns the opposition activists sued view this man through a different prism perhaps a lot of people internationally do he is seen as a very key figure within the opposition movement but this all comes as his you tube channel was raided as well and now there are some discrepancies over the amount of people protesting out on the streets in moscow the police say there are about 3500 people protesting and in the streets the opposition activists say it's much closer to 10000 we don't know what the exact figures are also the figures for the arrests have been disputed as well they say about 1000 police say about 1000 people were arrested the protesters say is much closer more closer to 1400 people being

arrested now many of those according to the police have been released they were detained not arrested so they've been through that administrative process processing but why are they protesting what they're protesting because they're very worried about upcoming moscow says he council elections and they're very worried that some opposition leaders may not be able to get on the ballot and the kremlin will try and stuff these elections full of people loyal to them. on the program baltimore hits back after president donald trump brands are discussed. and how the whole of columbia is going wild the nation's favorite sports. hello temperatures in eastern europe on as high as they will also run about 30

back quick look at headlines now police have clear the streets of hong kong after a 2nd night of protests and violence dozens of arrests were made as groups battle for control of the streets as strikes are intensifying in syria's enclave province after u.n. warnings that war crimes of being committed the town of a rehab was targeted again on sunday morning and a market was bombed killing at least 4 people. and a powerful explosion in the afghan capital has killed 2 people and injured at least $25.00 including the president's running mates in the upcoming election. iran's nuclear negotiator says an emergency meeting in vienna of the fate of the iran nuclear deal has been constructive but abbas arace says tehran will continue to reduce its nuclear commitments if the europeans fail to salvage the pact of the

enemies in between all the signatories of the deal minus the us has called us tensions sore between iran and the west the european parties have been trying to keep the deal alive after president trump withdrew from its last year in the past one month but it was several developments. regarding limitation of. some of there was regarding. you know the doctrine of. commitments which reported by the. i.a.e.a. and also we have some complaints about. you know properly implementation of the methods by the other side i mean the europeans in particular. after the meeting iran accused britain of breaching the nuclear deal by seizing one of its oil tankers of gibraltar earlier this month to iran says under the agreement it's entitle to export oil without any impediment but britain says the iranian tanker was in breach of international sanctions last week a british flag tanker was impounded by iran in the strait of hormuz in an apparent

retaliatory move u.s. president donald trump's description of baltimore as a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess has prompted an angry retort from the city's biggest newspaper the baltimore sun hit back at the comments which were directed at african-american congressman elijah cummings with a stinging editorial it read we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the oval office a mockery of war heroes the gleeful grabber of women's private parts the serial bankrupt of business is the useful idiot of a team of pollution and the guy who insisted there are good people among murderous neo nazis that he is still not fooling most americans into believing he's even slightly competent in his current post or that he possesses a 2nd teller of integrity better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood and to be one well democratic presidential hopeful elizabeth warren has described

president trump's tweets as disgusting i want you to come it's one of my dearest friends. he is a good man through and through and he fights for what is just in this country to be attacked by a president. issuing racist tweets is beyond insulting just just. roselyn jordan is live for us in washington and rosen obviously we would just reflecting on the stinging rebuke from the newspaper in baltimore but what about reaction amongst people residents inside baltimore itself. well it seems almost to a person people who have been speaking to the national and the local media on sunday are disgusted and outraged by what the u.s. president donald trump has said about their city they all said that yes the city has problems but what community doesn't have problems and they also said that

baltimore has what any american city should have which is diversity economically racially religiously and that there are efforts to make the city a good place to live and all of these people said that they were proud to live in baltimore even if they had lived anywhere else in the world so there is a real sense that the president should not be attacking their hometown in order to score political points well for his part the acting chief of staff at the white house is trying to defend what the president said this is mick mulvaney who is the acting chief of staff staff at the white house to push back against what the president sees as an actress is lies about what mr cummings said this week in the oversight committee about the border if you go on the internet you can find the exchange where a lie she coming said the children were sitting in their own feces at the border that's wrong in fact it's misleadingly wrong it's the type of thing that really

breaks down a civilized debate about how to address the the crisis at the border and the president didn't like it as a president speak hyperbolically absolutely and we've seen this type of of reaction for him before yes and you will again because he pushes back he fights back when he feels like he's attacked or what mr coming said this week was wrong. it appears that the reaction to president. gaining traction is this the end of this back and forth exchange. well unfortunately it is not the end of this back and forth in the last 45 minutes the president donald trump has again taken to twitter and basically has doubled down and i'm paraphrasing here but he basically said that he didn't say anything wrong that most people would agree with him that eliza cummings who is the chair of the house oversight committee has been not doing right by the members and the people who live in his congressional

district or doing right by the city of baltimore writ large he is not backing away from what he said and he is saying that democrats are now playing what is called here in the us the race card in order to criticize him for making his initial comments about a largely cummings on saturday so you can probably expect there will be pushback to this latest comment on twitter in the next several hours thank you from washington rosen jordan with the latest on that story moving to other developments in guatemala hundreds of protests against a controversial immigration deal between the government and the u.s. demonstrate has rallied in front of the presidential palace in guatemala city against the equipment between president jimmy morales and washington on friday protest as off warning him to resign over this deal which was signed off to president tom threatened to impose on the bottom ali it means that migrants passing

who won the west that they span you know the spain tour and also i think. now finally at the tour of the front the other thing to remember here is that a lot of these riders have a lot of talent but not a lot of help here in colombia are just in from the right and they don't have rich sponsors here with an island comes from a poor family is father was a farmer and then i security guard his mother still felt a lot worse in the market down and people here will tell you that is their humbleness that the find them and the perseverance that made him who he is now and that helped him reach the pinnacle of this war the most important competition in the world the tour de france yes as you say alexandra. now story is the inspirational and that will be taking calls all his humble beginnings is there

experienced a drought in decades this year. the monsoon which usually provides some relief was weeks and when it finally arrived it was once again deficient with.

600. that's nearly half the population a face an acute. despite economic growth in recent. people's access to life's most basic necessity. 3 quarters of the population don't have drinking water as. the effects of the draw the most clearly in rural india. 300000 farmers have killed themselves in the past 25 years and many more have deserted the call to move to cities in search of work leaving behind the elderly. today on

talk to al-jazeera we traveled to one of india's worst affected regions in the state of maharashtra to look at the impact the drought is having on people. this is the moment of villages wait for sometimes for days the arrival of a truck carrying a tank of water. the desperate scramble for one of life's most basic necessities. women men and children caught on top of the truck while it's still moving afraid they much you miss out on their share. of. these government tankers provide about 20 metres of water a day per person that is the size of this bucket and the women here aggression that

water for all of their household needs including drinking cooking and bathing. oh i see that by gaekwad lives and i had a wide gown village with a daughter and granddaughter she teaches at the local school. see the by how hard is life for you right now because of the drought and the lack of water. leave you one could be in a van and one at my bank but iowa but there have been a bit there. planet. then up and buy a new bit of. credit. and it will. learn to live there to live. there was better to do a little of that the planning. that the other 1.

100 how to manage and set up about what. and that little bit of water that you do have how do you use it how much of it do you drink coke with bathe with clean did not as i did with but a book when i started it up but when told us about it but it gave the. whole. a lot of it up by men when i was hit. but at that moment they did the worst and it database had done on but. they say the drought in maharashtra is the worst in nearly 50 years and that there is less in this rainfall every monsoon do you see that. the taliban and i doubt it but it is out of. the how to weigh.

in and help on that are there some of the plan is out of place here the bums out and. the situation is so bad apart from the water tankers that you say every 4 to 5 days is the government helping you in any other way. when he asked out of the. out of the. sagal i. doubt it but i. got one of. them out that for the out of that. i mean it's a plan. and all of it has a plan of a lot of like here's a look at the thing that i'm up bonnie. bell up on it's a must. to to. invade city we need to claim chandler order a tank operator who has a government contract he manages $170.00 trucks which provide water to $110.00 villages. he takes us to one of the reservoirs

where his tankers fill up if i need to post what i buy me up i don't have to be a banker we knew about them and you were saying that in 2016 this reservoir was full of boy scouts will army your boat i will go to what i will use to buy their bodies so we need sleep on the movie. which bucky. is no b.c. part of i think there's a battle going. on about a little more about the. lord tells me that there's an awful lot and this reservoir for 15 days but knowing about that we go to. school you're doing a good we hung up on you going to the way the people were destroyed maybe your bunny had a bee house apprentice teles committed to hell damn. your struggling it. all go to bunny they'll deny you

a little bit of money got to do this at the. in maharashtra more than 6000 tankers supply water 215000 villages every day the government tankers provide water for free but many a private making money by selling water to people and businesses villages say the cost of buying water from private operators has shot thompson's the drought. do you only get your water from government tankers a are you sometimes paying tankers to come here as well or you're going to get that. but there really are. that it does it about something together when you get back when i when you really don't answer me. but the thought of a bit. about i did sort of that i don't. believe it or not.

there also complains about government tankers everywhere we go people tell us the water trucks don't come as often as they should. the water tankers are supposed to come every day but we're hearing from many people that they're only coming every 4 or 5 days what's your experience was at the. bank. it's a mess there is a lot of that because i thought that the problem at the last analyst. that there was a. lot of not my little cousin about it but not on handouts but that problem as nothing has happened like this to figure out what's wrong g.p.s. tracking devices have been installed on all 1000 government tankers the water tankers which are providing why are they being g.p.s. tracked because. if dick monitoring and sometimes we get to complain they're. going on groot all day are not completing their

trips so we have more to do put on oil tankers because there are allegations of course that some water tankers operators are benefiting from this terrible situation that's a different scenario in fact if you see human history we find many. people trying to been if your claim situation but if you're doing well what makes it your sense of the 2 different aspect of human being but if we are talking about the tankers there's some there are some places and getting out we get complaints from the local villagers because tankers are one told approximately me making the 2 told in trips and sometimes indian feel sometimes they are human and sometimes many other problems and due to their. girls are unable to fulfill their trip

or their promises so people complain to us and we won't be a digital system if we get the. if you do mobile. telephone call then immediately return don't the. don't go with the location what is the problem and. situation and do you ever think that it's incredible that we are in a situation where we have to put g.p.s. tankers which are carrying what should be a the most basic of necessities. g.p.s. is the latest technology and a pink the latest technology should be used to bring transparency and accountability in the administration and in government and because goldman using. the tool to provide the water so obviously. technology should be used but it highlights it doesn't it that water has become so precious that to. become the.

we asked preemption lauda if he's certain his workers who should be providing water for free aren't making money from the drought there have been a lot of stories a lot of allegations actually that sometimes the operation is benefiting from the drought in the state that they are actually making money are you certain that all of your operators and your workers are doing what they're supposed to getting the water to the people who really need it and not profiting from daily. how do. you collect obviously what i was made with other operate which look you has like you had the grammy awards about to give you didn't get i don't agree that again i wouldn't go there which also go with the conductor be our panel stop of the

blacklist really that there was well one other global you're confident that all of your workers are doing the right thing but are there some that are taking advantage of the situation and are making money. i suppose we could because what i'll be here to. whatever the reasons for the lack of water seats or by wants them resolved she says she wants a better life for her daughter and granddaughter. well the whole. i'm just on the. whole night that i mean just that we didn't plan a c. and i'm god i will not be a dog gates and i. thought that if. you had that. well get some but they put up and had this it had begun again just above the law and i'm a saddle and bridle and i. put

thanks. september 11th. in the ruins of new york america votes to defeat terrorism but this promise is quickly betrayed george bush changes enemies asama bin laden is replaced by saddam hussein.

see it as this sudden turn to love is the result of an extraordinary deception with devastating consequences for the world. everything begins less than 6 hours after the attack at the pentagon which was also strong secretary of defense donald rumsfeld scans the rubble and he issues his instructions stephen campbell and one of his advisors takes notes rumsfeld's intentions are unequivocal. the evening of that tragedy president bush addresses america and the world. today our fellow citizens our way of life are very freedom came under attack.

we will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. we will make no distinction this essential detail was inspired by a key figure in the pentagon richard powell. on the afternoon of 911 places a call to the president's speech writer. i was on the telephone with david frum and i said to david. on the afternoon of 911 whatever else the president says he should say that we will hold. responsible the states that support terrorism say it is a strategic break from the more modest policy so bush is pretty sessoms. i believe it represented a recognition. that we would never succeed against the terrorists if we went after

them one at a time and as long as governments were facilitating the organization training equipping and financing of terrorist organizations we were never going to get it under control. and ambitious program for all out war a goal in line with neoconservative policy and thinking an approach supported by richard powell. dick cheney donald rumsfeld condoleezza rice told wolfowitz douglas feith these are the advisors who have bush's either. joe wilson a career diplomat witnessed the rice. they came into office with the republican party in particular with the staffing done by the vice president in his office and the secretary of defense in his office. referred to his neo conservatives they have ties to the world of oil to the defense industry they are strong proponents of

american global domination. saddam hussein softened by years of sanctions is in. on the evening of $911.00 the president saying well maybe you know we will be going after iraq now and somebody said well. that would be a guess since international law the president responded i don't care it was going to kick some 2 days after the world trade center. and the pentagon were attacked the president was at camp david with his senior officials and mr wolfowitz was telling the president. the iraq and saddam hussein is the real problem. new goals were defining change the regime in baghdad to subjugate iraq a simpler objective. and that of destroying the elusive terrorist.

september 19th those in support of eliminating saddam hussein meet at the ministry of defense the pentagon. they all began asking questions about how long can we continue this policy aimed at keeping saddam under control and that inclusion they came to was not much longer the day after the meeting at the pentagon president bush addresses congress. it is a historic moment the nation is united bush names the culprits osama bin laden al qaeda the taliban regime in afghanistan our enemies are radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them. no mention about iraq but he warns our war on terror. begins with al-qaeda.

but it does not in their. tony blair the british prime minister and guest of honor applause it's symbolic of the unwavering alliance between washington and london. the taliban are quickly driven out of kabul and al qaeda is dispersed. some of bin laden disappears. in washington bush appears eager to move on to another war i stand by those words afghanistan is still just a beginning if anybody harbors terrorists or terrorist if they find a terrorist or terrorist if they has terrorist or terrorist i mean i can't make it any more clearly to other nations around the world if they develop weapons of mass

destruction that will be used to terrorize nations they will be held accountable. after this speech secretary of defense rumsfeld meets with general tommy franks at central command in tampa florida. franks controls a massive area from africa to asia and leads the war in afghanistan but rumsfeld has something else in mind iraq. he orders general franks to prepare a plan of attack. since his invasion of kuwait in the gulf war a 991 large parts of iraq had been under an international no fly zone. despite iraq's defeat and the terrible sanctions that would decimating his people saddam remained in power. in 1998 he drove on to u.n. inspectors sent to disarm.
