1:05 pm
renewed violence many demanding that the opposition coalition known as the forces of freedom and change halt negotiations with the ruling military joins us to form a transitional government both sides signed an initial power sharing agreement earlier this month but are yet to agree on a final deal and form a government some activists are concerned that the talks and deals seem to be centered only in the capital. is this something that only happens outside and areas that are not part of the center is it like people in the center going to come out and protest and they're ok but people in the periphery can't so we need to know the answers to these questions. as talks between the opposition coalition and the military gen to continue to do the demand 1st of all in government as well as calls for justice and accountability not just for the lives lost in for tuning june but for the sudanese killed in protests in many of the states nationwide compan. so
1:06 pm
have as things protests continue can we expect those talks between the journey to and the civilian opposition to resume on tuesday. well elizabeth talks have already gone to multiple times they were supposed to be resealed range on saturday and that has not happened last happened is that the technical teams from all sides that will be friendly that documents have let's put the 2 sides and we'll see if those who are supposed to be signing on bed each house postponed their till their meetings yet again today so they are not going to be needed today it's not clear when they will be meeting but this is something that the protesters on the streets say should not happen and so there are signs that it will be accountability and justice for the loss of lives so at the moment the ones on the little are the opposition coalition they have to deal with the military prosecute fight on the transitional government but their base the streets the protesters on the streets who have been demonstrating since december are calling for a halt to be equal station they're saying that there should be no talks while the
1:07 pm
violence continues thank you very much for that for now that is have a morgan with the latest live in addison ababa thank you. we're going to move on to other news now and the alleged mastermind of the september 11th attacks says he may be willing to help the victims families and then also against saudi arabia that's according to reports which say that and the 10 hallet shaikh mohammed wants the government to abandon its bid to execute him as he called again reports from washington d.c. . the survivors and victims of the september 11th attacks believe saudi arabia was behind it and they are suing to prove it now they might get help from an unlikely source suspected mastermind khalid shaikh muhammad in the lawsuit lawyers asked to speak to muhammad and he made a surprising response seeming to offer to cooperate against saudi with a condition remove the possibility of a death sentence writing in the absence of a potential death sentence much broader cooperation would be possible the president
1:08 pm
who often sides with saudi could face pressure this time to make the deal that it could virtually bankrupt saudi arabia all their assets in the united states and elsewhere could be. seized so the incentive for mr trump as opposed to others to wave in is not very great but still it may be in the year 2020 that the united states population in general is not going to be sympathetic to mr trump running in seeking their vote if it looks like he's taking the side of saudi arabia over the victims of $911.00 and on the senate floor monday saudi arabia a source of extremism and bloodshed in the world a clear indication that the country's relationship with the united states is strained senator citing the killing of journalists as one reason the war in yemen another. by now we are well acquainted with what has been a best the incompetent and at worst criminal actions of saudi arabia's air strikes
1:09 pm
in yemen all evidence suggests that the saudis have been tension only targeted hospitals bridges power stations apartment buildings weddings schools and yes even a school bus filled with children his plea to senators override a presidential veto and stop an $8000000000.00 arms deal with saudi it failed to get the votes needed the bill on reconsideration fails to pass over the veto of the president of united states but the pressure on saudi continues in the u.s. house of representatives a committee has released a report on ties between the trump administration and saudi in the united arab emirates the investigation focuses on attempts by saudi to obtain nuclear technology according to congressional investigators the relationship was so close that when candidate trump was scheduled to give a major energy speech his close friend tom barrack circulated the draft among iranians saudi officials and then passed suggestions back to mr brock who conveyed
1:10 pm
them to trim campaign chairman paul man of fort the house says it will continue to investigate the relationship and the senate says it will continue to try and block the arms sales many regardless of what the president wants saudi arabia will likely stay in the u.s. headlines for the forseeable future political hay in washington. because the senate wasn't able to block the daily u.s. government as the offering to go ahead for such a guided munitions and related equipment with $8000000000.00 will be sold to saudi arabia and the q a any weapons monitoring agency says a 5th of all u.s. arms sales between 20132017 were to saudi arabia around $9000000000.00 at least $6000.00 civilians have been killed in yemen the majority by saudi and the u.s. and iran. collison strikes so many senators fear the weapon sales or make the us
1:11 pm
complicit in more killings as get more on this now we're joined by andrews smith who's the media coordinator for the campaign against arms trade the campaign one of the legal challenge over u.k. arms sales to saudi arabia just last month and he's joining us live from london very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so if we look at what happened in the u.s. senate overnight failed in its bid to override the president's vote and the president saying the resolutions but by both chambers of congress the house and the senate would weaken america's global competitiveness damage its relationship with its allies so is he basically saying that it's more important to make this money selling arms even if they are being used and the killing of innocent children. the message being sent from the white house is very clear that it's arms company profits and more important to the white house than human rights of people in saudi arabia and the human rights of people in yemen but the fact that it's even got this
1:12 pm
far is unprecedented the fact that we have seen both houses in the united states wolf a host of representatives and the senate condemning arms sales to the largest buyer of u.s. weapons is with prisms so i have no doubt if the pressure will continue but the message being sent by donald trump and his colleagues is that they would rather sell weapons to say to them do what they come to put an end to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world there has been so much pressure mr smith again by both chambers of congress but what about trump supporters who are you know so in the world to him regardless of what he says or what he does is he likely to change his relationship with saudi arabia if it doesn't cost him popular support. what it will take is pressure from the wider population as well and we hope that people who vote for donald trump are just as uphold by these arms sales as people
1:13 pm
that don't vote for donald trump but this isn't necessarily an issue of vote donald trump or an issue vote republican part of this is institutional issue donald trump may be a particularly protest example of that but he is following a policy which has been in place for decades for it has been republican administrations or democrat administrations both parties historically have been more than happy to put arms exports ahead of human rights and have been extremely cause if it's a doozy but would you say that it's fair to say that in the last few years there has been more scrutiny of saudi arabia of the kingdom's human rights record and especially in light of what's happening not just in yemen but in the kingdom itself the gulf crisis that this is. that that's why there is extra attention on this president right now i think 1st rate i think the merger of to market
1:14 pm
sharkey has concentrated a lot of mainz and has raised criticisms from people who wouldn't otherwise be critiquing regime so vocally i would hope that this would be the case even if it was still a democrat president in the white house i hope that this scrutiny continues regardless of who wins the next presidential election hopefully what we have seen is a sea change in scrutiny with envy united states and within the political structures of the united states but this isn't just a policy this isn't just a trump policy this is a long term policy from just happens to be in office at the moment and has arguably taken it. even further than some of his predecessors but those arms sales have continued for decades and decades they happened under obama they happened under clinton they happened under bush behalf and under reagan. mr smith it's very good to get your insights your perspective on this that anderson live in london thank you thank you thank you. but plenty more ahead on the news hour including.
1:15 pm
hong kong's protests go on the ground causing chaos on the city's subway. the growing anger against a deal for some central american migrants to claim solomon guatemala rather than the u.s. . and in sports action from the pad american games including and not to. the whole be here was. a battle between a rival gangs and a brazilian jail has killed at least 57 prisoners 16 were beheaded and others died when their cells were set on fire 2 stuff taken hostages were released following the riot which lasted several hours or prison riots and brazil are common as stories above explains from neighboring argentina. another brutal riots in brazil
1:16 pm
this time in the city of media in the northern states of apparently at 7 o'clock in the morning this monday a group of gang members tried to take over another side of a prison there and that's what started this fighting apparently they set up several roadblocks of fires in order to prevent also reduce from reaching the area that's where the major fighting took place and that's where at least $52.00 people were killed 16 of them were beheaded and the others died because of thoughtful cation it's not clear yet what started the fighting most of forty's are saying that it's fighting between them for control of drugs around that area but it's not clear yet and there is an investigation ongoing the minister of justice in brazil said your model called for an urgent meeting he also isolated the gang members and increased security in that area this whole incident lasted for about 5 hours but this type of prison riots are very common in northeastern brazil mostly because it has one of
1:17 pm
the 3rd of the world's 3rd largest prison population one of the highest homicide rates in the world the situation in the prisons with overcrowding violence and inhumane conditions is what makes the situation even worse and that's why in a way what gang members used brutal ways in order to send messages to those from rival organizations most of the government have taken immediate action in order to solve the situation increased security intelligence among other things but they do not solve the real problems within the prisons which is mostly overcrowding and also shortages of staff among other things so brazil has the world's largest prison population and violence and cramped jails has been getting worse and maybe 56 prisoners were killed when violence broke out in 4 different jails and state 10 and then it's died from gang related violence last year as a president the country's northeast and say our state the worst was 2. and because
1:18 pm
the navy $160.00 presidents mckellen and weeks of violence between rival gangs jesse les and the director of the cow sam hall the institute for global research at emory university and he says that the hottest conditions and presidents often that's to run and make rehabilitation these riots are just were leading to what's going on in the prison whether they're off by a tensions between criminal organizations outside of the prison which then get resolved busy if you will inside the prison. there's very very little. very few services for rehabilitation of the prison system so old or the office of the rehabilitated they are taking off busy and. young people and making them into all more hardened criminals and in part because brazil has. been
1:19 pm
so it was an extremely weak state and because the state is weak the criminal gangs expanded so what you have in these cases are for example a lack of guards stars who are poorly a lack of police a lack of services in the prisons for themselves and so not surprisingly the prison just becomes a kind of the coolest order with the flagship of 2 other issues that are going on in brazilian society which is so i was very very high on the site it's it's an extremely violent country. inter in terms of in terms of policy. president facing criticism about an immigration of washington the agreement. to claim asylum there instead of the hear with hundreds protested against the move

weeks of protests over offensive messages which were leaked to and to government corruption in the bad cropped territory. the british pound has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in almost 2 and a half years analysts warn the currency could fall further as the likelihood of the u.k. leaving the e.u. without a deal and creases british prime minister boss johnson wants a new rx to do with e.u. leaders he is refusing to meet them until they agree to really negotiate let's go now to join how he's joining us live from london what is the 4 main for the british currency and the economy china how damaging is it. potentially very damaging bear in mind this is been going on for 3 years now and a little more since the brakes referendum in june 2016 the pound falling on aggregate some $0.28 against the dollar which is a big chunk it's reached now its lowest point as you were saying there since march
1:24 pm
2017 that was the moment when the article 50 process was triggered giving the u.k. 2 years to reach a deal for its exit with the e.u. that date has now successively been delayed twice to october the 31st of course the pound has tended to seesaw with the braggs it process going up when a softer breaks it does look more likely keeping closer ties with the e.u. going down when a harder breaks it has appeared more likely as is the case now and as you say analysts expecting the pound has much further potentially to fall maybe even reaching parity with the europe potentially even parity with the pound for the economy but it's bad news for consumers here certainly a lower pound makes the cost of imports higher britain is a net importer of things like clothing and food stuffs so prices in the shops go up inflation goes up the cost of living goes up and of course crucially right now mid-summer as many people are preparing to take their holidays outside of this
1:25 pm
country the cost of those holidays will go up as well as they go german by vets and policy giant as this point prime minister johnson does put the u.k. government under a lot of pressure ben. it will be the 1st thing on their minds i imagine they're under pressure from a lot of other fronts as well not least from those supporters of boris johnson who demanded that he carry out breaks it by october the 31st and he has promised to do so do or die come what may deal or no deal and it is that sort of brinkmanship max that he's been carrying carrying out in the last few days with the e.u. that has led investors to price in the possibility now that if not irreversibly then certainly forcefully britain is being led to that cliff edge the no deal breaks at that many people believe will see trade barriers raised on britain's trade to its biggest trade partners in the e.u. so chaos in world financial markets tipped this country the world's 5th biggest economy into recession so yes his boris johnson strategy with the e.u.
1:26 pm
certainly under scrutiny from investors but as i say the real pressure he will feel is on his campaign promises to do what he's said take the britain out of the e.u. on october 31st and never mind the consequences janet thank you for that that is john howell live in london. to hong kong now where protests have caused rush hour chaos by disrupting subway trains demonstrations stopped carriage doors from close and preventing trains from departing of some stations well to capacity as it has to stay put buses for bush and to allow travelers to continue their journey as sarah clarke was at the protests. it's peak hour here in hong kong where one of the busiest china lines of the hours a district that feeds these commute is not from here into teller and hong kong island as you can see the sign behind me it's not really it's not the raptors practice at it's peak hour it's creating comedic tiles and these protesters are

bureaucracy and administrative corruption the system still needs a lot more work so they can keep up with the increase of oil production especially in the southern region of iraq these are the main problems. and then there's the environmental impact the world bank estimates flares worldwide produce around $350000000.00 tons of c you do every year iraq says it's taking drastic measures to diminish gas flares. there is a major environmental impact besides that there days about resuming for worth of water that comes into the stunk from here the oil is separated and the remaining water is given to another company. but sort of find that he has a plan for the water and monitors in quality but a lack of local expertise in iraq makes it difficult to tackle environmental issues the oil minister says he is aware and ready to take on these challenges in addition to expanding refineries in oil fields iraq is planning to rehabilitate a pipeline via turkey and build a new one by jordan but it's not the 1st time iraqis are hearing of such plans many

a number of disputes between the world's 2 largest economies talk to address the trade dispute are resuming and shanghai when hey has this update from their. the fact these 2 trade delegations are meeting again face to face is of course being seen as a positive but getting any accurate official information out of either side about what exactly might be taking place in shanghai has been difficult we understand though that there will be perhaps informal discussions over a meal followed by more formal negotiations on wednesday expectation though is the low of any significant outcome in shanghai during the course of these talks because the 2 sides remain far apart on some of the key issues one of those issues surrounds the chinese phone manufacturer way which was in may place on the u.s. black list preventing u.s. companies doing business with it out of concern that it could be a threat to u.s. national security will since then president donald trump has backtracked

a bit that saying that some united states companies will be allowed to start doing business with weiwei but so far it seems that that process has not started and in fact it's just been words from the united states president well as the u.s. delegation arrived in shanghai weiwei and they answered its financial results for the 1st half of this year showing that revenues increased 23 percent despite that blacklisting from the united states the longer term outlook not so good for a while away it's expects that its revenue will take a hit in the longer term and it's already announced that it is cutting some $600.00 jobs in the united states so it seems certain that the issue of while away will be discussed while these 2 sides meet in shanghai now are democrat politicians hoping to replace donald trump in the white house and gehring out for their 2nd televised debate they are expected to highlight trump's recent string of racist tweets while

he's susceptible to attacks by dint of the fact that he's the most senior politician he has the longest record to defend california senator come harris joined the top 4 contenders to unseat president donald trump after she attacked biting civil rights record in the 1st debate do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose bussing in america then do you agree i did not oppose him in america biden says this time he won't be is nice trading barbs this past week with new jersey senator cory booker over criminal justice i'm disappointed that it's taken joe biden years and years until he was running for president to actually say that he made a mistake if there were things in that bill that were extraordinarily bad if you want to go back and talk about records i'm happy to but i'd rather talk about the future the candidates are expected to be on the attack this debate will likely winnow down the unprecedentedly large field of 20 in 2 nights of debates with polling and fundraising numbers going up to qualify for
1:43 pm
a 3rd round of debates in september money will almost certainly start to dry up for those who don't perform well here it's no surprise that this debate is being held here in detroit democrats are keenly aware that donald trump won in 2016 by knocking down the supposedly solid democratic blue wall in states like wisconsin pennsylvania and here in michigan where he won by about $10000.00 votes the narrowest victory anywhere in the country. so far only the top 4 in south bend indiana mayor pete booty gedge qualify for round 3 that leaves contenders like amy club which are better o'rourke and kirsten gillibrand scrambling to prove their viability trump might well weigh in from the white house unifying democrats recently after the attack for minority democratic women in congress many democratic voters remain undecided and kind of waiting for the deal to get. it's hard to dislike people. i think i mean it's almost like you know each of these people

afghans are worried about a future peace deal between the united states and the group they say they don't want to go back to a time when their cultural heritage was systematically destroyed. we are afraid that if there is a country conciliation the deal will be again such kind of. act against cancer the heritage regime is so concerned he's looking for an international company to insure the museum's artifacts so that if necessary they could be moved to brood meanwhile afghan artists curators and international experts are restoring the damaged displays hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of painstaking work to ensure those determined to raise afghanistan's heritage don't succeed victoria gate and be algis there. right and it's time for sports now is thank you very much police are the right case against the brazil and paris hours

benefits he also says the men generated more revenue 185700000000 dollars despite playing fewer games and the women in iraq top $101300000000.00 but it's very hard to compare because the pay structures difference the women get by salary benefits and it's hard unplanned while the men of paper training can gain appearances and performance by the baroness's even with no benefits scheme one thing not in doubt is the growing public support for the women's equality fight their chance of equal pay or their women's world cup in france and 50 members of congress sent a letter to u.s. soccer expressing their concerns with one said it's a saying if the gender gap was not closed he would withhold funding for the men's world cup tournament which will be co-hosted by the u.s. in 2026. and a spokeswoman for the team has described the latest statement by u.s. soccer as a ruse they say it's

a sad attempt by the federation to quell the overwhelming tardive support the team has received here's what they cannot deny for every game a man plays he makes a higher salary than a woman for every win or tie his bonus is higher that is the very definition of gender discrimination for the federation to believe otherwise is disheartening but it only increases our determination to obtain true equal pay for the $2.00 parties are heading into mediation but if that fails the will to cause the time will come when it daniela did aussie says his love for diego maradona is what persuaded him to join argentinian side pocket juniors where the transfer has surprised some with most players of opting for a final party day in charge of the middle east all the us will this is the low key manner in which the rossi's arrival from 18 seasons 36 year old swapping the color see him for the bottom but narrow which is because what is there is of course
