6:03 pm
protests in the city also a look. now they're saying that despite it's unacceptable and that the students had legitimate reasons to go out and put in the 1st place let's take a look at those recent students came out protesting lack of bread shortage of fuel and hikes in price of transportations which incidentally is the hole is how this is the lesions parts of december in the city of god but also they're saying that nothing has changed and that the ministry of counsel and the opposition which it should not be negotiated on the transitional government's without justice and accountability laid on the table tell us more about the protests on monday have. well richelle of the protest on monday has resulted in the deaths of at least 5 protesters 4 of them high school students now as you said uli so highly condemns the killings of the students and it says that this is unjustifiable but the protesters are saying that regards most of
6:04 pm
whether the students had it whether they came out to protest the price of bread or whether they came out to protest as some of them did at the results of the investigation of the investigation committee formed by the clans actually tweet also to look into the killings on june 3rd in front of the headquarters they say that proves protests have to be protected by the security forces and they're lashing out of their anger at the opposition coalition they're saying that opposition coalition is in that it's unsafe from them and that they were to send them therefore they should not be negotiating with the military council without accountability and they say that if the if the opposition coalition continues negotiates that it will lose faith in best solution ok i'm sorry i have a morgan thank you so much for joining us let me get to our guests now alone who is a lecturer at killing university an analyst on the horn of africa he joins us via skype also in ethiopia appreciate your time very much so. is it fair to say the situation is to send
6:05 pm
a great and well of these are some live and i think these sort of pizza the use of violence are going to civilian population under force just how important the fall of the military council to being viewed in a serious way for most of the security forces we are talking about this you know significant period of transition but at the same time that is a significant degree of continued to. this. as. always different cultures 2 can be married it's very difficult to expect security forces to act differently now and it's that's why it's important for the military council to i think seriously consider the possibility or dr biggs where he gets before most. agencies in this transition as to what gets done what or who can contaminate and reset the table for lack of a better term to to restart things to for the to side to talk and something
6:06 pm
resembling good faith because it doesn't seem like that can happen right now there's already significant difference between the 2 sides because you cannot document the opposition alliance differences among gets. charged people who have not been to different views to your house who don't should move forward there's already the problem not just within the opposition but also between the opposition and military council in terms of how to put together the constitution a document that governs sudan released period of transition if we have one of the problems that somehow picks away the legitimacy or the opposition groups to negotiate on behalf of the people then that i think complicates the problem for them i think you know the but right now of the gate of the transitional military council it is their responsibility to form security forces therefore i think there
6:07 pm
is some trust and confidence on the part of the nation that in the event that this process doesn't go according to their demands that they have the right to protest. so have been mentioned and this is a lot of lady touched on it what role does accountability play in this before this all started on the protest and wanted accountability for things that have been going on for 30 years and now it seems like there are more and more things that the military is doing that will have to be answer for will they yeah absolutely so you know the question of justice and accountability 3 pairs of transmission is a significant one. people do want some form of reckoning. in terms of some of the abuse of them violence and that have been perpetrated by the former regime but at the same time i think you do need some kind of principle to compromise to give this to the surface of trans the reason i say principled
6:08 pm
compromise is important is because if you are to demand the same. terms that are you know that are responsible for this transition should be brought to justice who should be held accountable that makes things difficult and i think time is important. you know everything shouldn't happen right now it's important to you compromise at some level until there's transition except because you can't do everything at the same time and if you. are engaged in the process where everything is for the people who think it's considered them that makes the process where if you get quality thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it very much. the personal data of more than 100000000 people has been stolen in a hack targeting u.s. financial services firm capital one the breach is believed to be one of the largest in banking history all of those affected are in north america the f.b.i.
6:09 pm
has arrested an engineer after she allegedly boasted about the hack line and kimberly halkett now from washington this was found out can really because somebody was bragging. yeah it's pretty incredible in terms of you know criminal moves this was not the brightest and certainly was not any effort to hide tracks just the opposite in fact this hacker this alleged hacker who has had won a court appearance in seattle washington and soon will have another on thursday legibly boasted about the crime and that's how it was finally detached and now consumers are concerned because it wasn't sort of internal security measures that capital one bank that stopped this but it was the boasting of the alleged perpetrator that brought this to light but the information that's been exposed is deeply concerning to so many consumers because it effects people who applied for capital one credit cards going all the way back to 2005 it also includes 23 days of
6:10 pm
transactions and the information is so personal not just social security numbers or other government identifiers but also birthdays spouses names phone numbers addresses it goes on and on and so not only has this been put out in the public sphere but the concern is is that they can be used now for fraud now the bank says that's not the case no one has been a victim of fraud so far but certainly they can't say that with any certainty and it will be something that will have to be monitored for quite some time more than 100000000 affected in the united states more than 6000000 affected in canada and this is just an example of an ongoing problem in the united states when it comes to financial secure. eddie it's not just capital one that's had this happen but also j.p. morgan chase in recent years bank of america citi bank and well the banks are trying to combat it by putting in place chip cards and things like that so that the swipe
6:11 pm
technology doesn't make consumers vulnerable it's clear that it is hard to stay one step ahead of hackers who are willing to do just about anything to access this very private and personal information all right can we help go on for us from washington d.c. kimberly thank you. chief executive rendition in that the cyber security firm working on incident response is as the hacker exploited a configuration vulnerability and the company's infrastructure. this is a configuration such as a security policy or maybe a security control or a authentication mechanism that is mis configured on their side says that the security researcher disclosed this on july 17th and then through an internal investigation they discovered it on july 19th it's very common when a security researcher discloses some sort of miss for mr configuration or security vulnerability that then you start digging around and you open that can of worms and very often you discover that this has been exploited before
6:12 pm
a lot of organizations especially the size of capital one they have a mature security program they have a lot of logging but maybe they don't have all the security tools or everything tuned properly to detect some of these things rendition info sec recommends threat hunting it's not good enough just to have that defense you have to really search around kind of you know dust off the cobwebs check under the bed to make sure that your environment is clean from attackers it depends on what the attacker does with that information if they release that to a forum if other people get their hands on that then obviously people will start noticing things are odd and reporting that up but you know it just because there's no known fraudulent activity to date right now doesn't mean that we shouldn't count that out we work with banking institutions all over the world international and domestic in the u.s. it all comes down to it's that toehold it's that weak crack you can be doing 100 percent of things correct so you think but it might be 99.9 and that that small
6:13 pm
percentage can lead an attacker into your network it does happen we recommend being proactive having security being evolving process you're always updating you're always trying to get better you're always trying to get more stealthy of what you're detecting and really it's it's a battlefield out there and you know you need to be prepared no matter the size your company. linamar head of the news hour and cleaning up to 60 and mates are killed in the prison riot between rival gangs and brazil. and in asia says it could take 2 months to stop oil gushing from a broken well in the java sea. and in sport another twist in the gender pay dispute that's dominating football in the united states peter will have all of that. irish prime minister leo rudd carr has told his british counterpart they'll be no budging on drugs at so-called irish backstop until
6:14 pm
a satisfactory alternative is found the backstop has derailed negotiations it's intended to be a last resort to maintain a seamless border on the iron on the island that is if there's no deal the use insisted it has to be included in any deal but british prime minister boris johnson has stressed it must be removed and the british pound has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in almost 2 and a half years economists warn the sterling could fall further as the likelihood of the u.k. leaving the european union without a deal increases or minister boris johnson wants a new brics to deal with the leaders and is refusing to meet them until they agree to read negotiate jonah hall joins us now from london so this devaluation john how serious is this for the economy. it potentially could become very serious to a large degree the united kingdom has got used to the fluctuations of the pound with the turning fortunes of breaks it and bret breaks it rhetoric falls
6:15 pm
lately of course on the back of boris johnson's heightened rhetoric pointing towards potential hard breaks it so-called or breaks it with no deal i think the real question though is if it's to fall further the pound how much further and how quickly as the october 31st deadline approaches and boris johnson as i say setting the bar for a deal with the e.u. a new deal so high the removal of that backstop that you talked about there that the e.u. is most likely to concede and johnson's position is if they don't change their mind we'll no deal it will be but i think at the moment i mean we're nowhere near a sort of full blown currency crisis here it does have an impact on manufacturing exporters who may find their products produce more profitable as it's cheaper in international markets but then again imports of raw materials are more expensive so that potentially cancels that out consumers of course will feel it in rising prices
6:16 pm
in the shops of imported goods higher levels of inflation higher cost of living and of course higher holiday prices that's assuming the pound stays at these low levels for a couple of months or more how much of a problem is this for boris johnson specifically for his bracks it strategy. it's an added layer of pressure certainly for this new government. but again they must have predicted i think that the pound would fall with this heightened rhetoric by the new prime minister boris johnson so they must've seen that coming but it's just one front that they face now boris johnson on a domestic tour of the country he's been in scotland where he got a pretty frosty reception even from scottish conservatives the idea of a no deal breaks at the dash the s.n.p. over there the nationalists talking about the need for a new referendum on independence he said wales today talking to welsh farmers who
6:17 pm
stand to be hit harder than any other sector by tariffs slapped on their land he's been warned of potential civil unrest in wales and ahead of a visit to northern ireland shin fein has said well the no deal breaks it might precipitate a referendum on the reunification of island so every which way he looks the negative consequences potentially of no deal stare him in the face but none of it has caused boris johnson evidently or openly to rethink even today in wales he say the ball is in the court if they don't concede no deal will be britain's answer and leader veronica you heard him there or you were mentioning him there the irish tea shock saying he stands in unity with the rest of the e.u. the withdrawal agreement will not be reopened or renegotiated to get rid of the backstop all right john holl life president lyndon johnson thank you a battle between rival gangs in a jail and brazil has killed at least 57 prisoners 16 were beheaded others died when their cells were set on fire it's the latest in
6:18 pm
a series of riots and the world's 3rd largest prison system which the president has promised to reform its market has more. inmates on the roof of the regional rehabilitation center in the northern city of al time mera while fellow prisoners battled it out below gang members in one prison block took over the cells of a rival gang 16 prisoners were beheaded dozens of others died from smoke inhalation when their cells were set on fire oh prisoners families waited outside the news and shots were fired by riot police to restore order after the 5 hour killing spree. it was a fight between rival gangs there weren't any demands to the authorities by prisoners the only demand from others was to keep them safe the inmates were separated according to the gangs and now we have to wait for the list of victims and those who survived the rebellion that go. to prison officers taken hostage were
6:19 pm
freed on home this is the latest in a series of course on rights during his election campaign last year president diable scenario promised a crackdown on crimes in jails and reforms of what critics say is a severely overcrowded and underfunded prison system those are seasickness of the ministry of justice and public safety has made space to stay in the criminal gang leaders of this rebellion to federal prison we are great these days and of finding out how to step up our intelligence security our national forces already on standby but if i see a fight that mean you some brazilians have expressed a little sympathy including a federal politician and former police officer he posted a video saying no one is going to miss them if they can't commit crimes again after the u.s. and china brazil has the world's 3rd largest prison population with nearly a quarter of a 1000000 inmates. oh many belong to gangs who natori is for their viciousness

6:21 pm
that 100 of those have died in the last week the situation is certainly getting worse the security council was briefed by local quds the senior humanitarian official of the united nations he told council members that he'd spoken to a number of families in it live by phone in the last couple of days and to a doctor central hospital and he relayed messages from them to the security council i asked dr mohammed and the children i spoke to yesterday if they have a message the you they do we are afraid please help us make it stop you in the security council have ignored all the previous pleas you have heard you know what is happening and you have done nothing for 90 days as the carnage
6:22 pm
continues in front of your eyes. so the top humanitarian official of the united nations mark local very much putting the ball in the court of the security council but it is worth telling you that the security council was also breached briefed by the policy director of a charity called physicians for human rights which has been tracking the attacks on hospitals in syria and i think part of that briefing will be somewhat difficult listening from is the local chemist south because she said she believes the u.n. secretary at the secretary general and mr local have the power to launch their own investigation into who is carrying out the bombing in so that i think will be a difficult one for the secretary general who until now has said he won't set up any sort of inquiry unless it's mandated by the security council she seemed to suggest no he could do it on his own all right. the united nations james thank you . so had on al-jazeera democratic party politicians hoping to get

6:24 pm
still see some thunder has just pushing up towards the far south of pakistan at the moment. i think over the next couple of days it should be less where shall we say a good deal drier than $32.00 celsius therefore crotch the dry and hot across much of the arabian peninsula as one would expect a few showers up towards the caucuses on media maybe into georgia could see a shower or 2 over the next day or so it's in parts of the met presently warm 30 celsius the 4 beirut there's continuing on the hot side approaching 50 celsius the baghdad on thursday the hive around 48 degrees it will not be quite as hot as that across the reagan potentially 42 here in doha 3 months of cloud course the southern parts could see wanted to sponsor of rain as we go through the next 1000 class quite expect extensive you see some parts of yemen again could catch an odd shot charles so they are just scraping its way across the far south of south africa over the next day or so but for much of southern africa it will be dry.

a jail in brazil has killed at least 57 prisoners 16 were beheaded others died when their cells were set on fire truce down for taken hostage they were released following the riots which lasted 5 hours. democratic party politicians hoping to replace donald trump in the white house are gearing up for their 2nd televised debate expected to address trump's recent string of racist tweets while also trying to sell their vision for the country john hendren reports from detroit. it is a battle for the future of the democratic party this week's democratic presidential debates pits safely centrist candidates led by former vice president joe biden against the party's revolutionaries senators elizabeth warren and bernie sanders i want to see somebody that has more progressive ideas get the ticket so it doesn't fall back on to biden which to me would be a repeat of the hillary clinton so i'm kind of hoping that one of the other
6:28 pm
candidates whether it's warren or bernie they're vying for his spot at the top of the polls with calls for publicly funded health insurance immigration reform and higher taxes on the wealthy while the front runner always has a target painted on his or her back so he has to expect some are tax and 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 kamel harris joined the top 4 contenders to unseat president donald trump after she attacked by 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 is taking joe biden years and years until he was running for president to actually say that he made a mistake or if there are things in that bill that were extraordinarily bad but if
6:29 pm
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 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 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 close better o'rourke and kirsten gillibrand scrambling to prove their viability trump might
6:30 pm
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 whittled down it's hard to keep up it's like going to be a good simple birthday i think i mean it's almost like going to school so i'm going to know each of these people think but time is short and fundraising dollars are increasingly focusing on likely winners making this debate a struggle for survival john hendren al-jazeera detroit u.s. senators have failed to stop donald trump's decision to override a resolution which would have blocked arms sales to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates politicians supporting the bill say they fear the weapons could be used against civilians in the yemen conflict excuse us president of not coming down hard enough on riyadh in the wake of the killing of saudi journalist and off tobar for now though the u.s.
6:31 pm
is free to go ahead with that arms deal or cision guided munitions and related equipment worth over $8000000000.00 will be sold to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. a weapons monitoring agency says riyadh was responsible for almost a 5th of all u.s. arms sales between 20132017 totaling around $9000000000.00 at least $6000.00 civilians have been killed in yemen and the majority by the saudi coalition airstrikes and the senators for their weapons sales will make the us complicit and more killings. they allege a mastermind of the september 11th attacks says he may be willing to help the victims had their wall suit against saudi arabia and returned coolly shaikh mohammed wants the u.s. government not to seek the death penalty against him and washington naysayers patty callahan explaining the court proceeding so far this offer of assistance 1st comes in this court filing it's all part of the lawsuit from the survivors and victims of $911.00 against the government of saudi arabia so as part of this process the
6:32 pm
lawyer said that they needed to speak with the people who are in custody accused of being a can being behind or committing the 911 attacks one of those is collegiate muhammad so in this fall in the lawyer say they reached out to his representatives and he's choosing not to cooperate in this deposition at this time and they say the main reason is because fear of the death penalty in the go on to say that he would be much more willing to cooperate if the death penalty was no longer a concern the problem for the lawyers in this $911.00 case is this is a civil litigation what the he's referring to is the criminal trial so they're really not connected to each other that said these victims these survivors they do have a lot of sway in congress they were able to get congress to change the law so that they could even susa the arabia the president the time president barack obama vetoed that legislation and they were able to override a veto which is something that's pretty much only done in about 10 percent of the
6:33 pm
cases so they have some sway to put pressure on the government that said the current president do us president donald trump has shown an willingness to go against saudi arabia at all so if this would put them in jeopardy it's unlikely that the president would push for a plea deal to be made for klute shaikh muhammad this is unusual most of the time presidents don't get involved in judicial proceedings but this is a president who has shown he's willing to do that not just in the u.s. but abroad as well. 55 year old mohammed was an alleged al qaeda operative who was captured in pakistan he's been held for nearly 13 years at the u.s. military base at guantanamo bay in cuba where he and 4 others are charged with war crimes he was subjugated to so-called subjected rather to so-called enhanced interrogations by the cia without a trial in 2008 the united states announced it will seek the death penalty against him and a year later it can best him pleaded guilty to the attacks he has not yet been
6:34 pm
convicted is fine as a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general who joins us from washington d.c. bruce thank you so much for your time how likely is it the prosecutors will take into consideration what the the victims in the lawsuit want. well i think there is a substantial likelihood that will occur the request is not irregular the united states regularly waived the death penalty in order to get extradition of suspects from the european union which has an absolute ban on the death penalty and prosecutors frequently offer such a waiver in order to obtain a guilty plea by a defendant this circumstance isn't identical but the idea of waiving the death penalty for some interest that the government believes is compelling is customary and in this case too we also have the display of the sentiment of congress and the american people in ackman of the gesta legislation that in choosing between the
6:35 pm
victims of 911 and saudi arabia the american people overwhelmingly in favor of not universally the victims and remember that we're already in the 2020 campaign season for the presidency and mr trump will have to be examining the impact this could have on his campaign if he sides with saudi arabia is even though he's kind of gone out and defend go ahead. and to say that point yes it does seem that public sentiment but probably certainly be with the $911.00 victims but president trump has consistently sided with saudi arabia and to be honest even back in the obama administration the obama administration didn't really want this lawsuit either. well it's true they opposed the enactment of the legislation but remember as well mr obama was not running for reelection at that time and this the difference we
6:36 pm
have now with the trump decision as opposed to earlier decisions made in favor of saudi arabia the weapons sales yemen whatever is now are into heavy campaign season and he's got to anticipate what's going to happen when his opponent and when he's in a presidential debate they ask him mr president why did you side with saudi arabia against the victims of 911 and he's got to contemplate how embarrassed he would be if he doesn't have an answer as to why those who have engendered enormous sympathy from the american people are left out on the limb in favor of someone who's not only been involved in these terrible terrorist incidents but assassinated jamal khashoggi so politics is what drives these decisions here not high principle and the politics of the 2020 campaign for the presidency dictate it would be almost suicide for the president decided no we're not going to waive it the $911.00 victims just have to hang in there by themselves having said all that though this
6:37 pm
is been one of the more unusual periods and politics where there's quite a few things that would seem to be unthinkable politically that trump integration actually does so is it fair to say that this is still really up in the air. well certainly in politics everything is up in the air but i'm saying right now i think that the sentiment would be in favor of he's got to come up with some reason to grant a waiver it could be something like this that he permits the decision to be made by the prosecutor which is the where the 1st line of decision making is gone tommo and then he doesn't decide to do nothing so he doesn't have on his hands a decision that says all right now are aiding the victims of 911 against saudi arabia you can just say well that was what somebody else did i don't have my hands on that so there are ways that he could try to distance himself from the assistance of 911 victims against saudi arabia that's consistent with his effort to try to
6:38 pm
keep saudi arabia warm in his his is policy focus all right for his foreign thank you so much for joining us from washington the mother of an alleged eisel member is challenging the case decision to share information with the u.s. without guaranteeing that her son wouldn't face the death penalty or else have begun in the case of el sheffield's shaikh who's being held in a kurdish camp and syria could face trial in the u.s. as mother says the u.k. home secretary should have ensured the information was only used in line with britain's laws which for big capital punishment by baldwin is a senior legal advisor for the legal and policy office of human rights watch says those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity must face justice but it has to be fair. ideally for justice to be rio it should be as close to the scene of the crime as possible that human rights watch and other organizations that have been working in syria and iraq we know that the kurdish controlled areas they don't
6:39 pm
have the justice system to put people on trial so in many ways we think the best way would be for states who is national civilized to commit crimes to take those citizens back and investigate and put any on trial in europe in tunisia and even in the u.s. when it's not the death penalty when those states have fat justice systems the other countries cause which could put people on trial is iraq that the moment we find iraq does not have a justice system capable of giving in fact trials especially in targeting the people most responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity and whatever side they were fighting in the conflict there is suddenly a chance the u.k. like many other countries has these laws that say for the worst crimes like war crimes. they can put people on trial for where in the u.k. where those crimes were committed in especially u.k. citizens so the u.k. would be capable of putting those people on trial unfortunately u.k.
6:40 pm
