the latest from london. to an extent i think the u.k. will have grown used to a fluctuating pound in the 3 years and a bit since the break that referendum in 2016 began flowing with the fortunes of bricks of the concern from a currency point of view now will be how far the pound may yet have to fall and how quickly with some analysts suggesting it could go to parity with the euro even conceivably parity with the dollar in the run up to this october 31st deadline on the hard brakes if no deal rhetoric of new prime minister boris johnson who has set the bar for a new deal with the e.u. so high he wants the northern ireland back stop removed altogether that the e.u. is unlikely to const see them boris johnson says well if they don't change their minds it will be a no deal breaks if every which way boris johnson looks there are the potential negative consequences of no deal that hasn't done anything to change his very
8:10 pm
positive optimistic rhetoric on no deal or from ramming home the central message as he did in wales saying the ball is in the e.u. scored if they don't concede no deal will be britain's. and our answer from the e.u. came from leo varadkar the irish 2 shock in a scratchy apparently phone call saying the e.u. is a unified in its position that they will be no renegotiation of to resume a's withdrawal agreement no removal of the backstop the mother of an alleged isolette challenging the u.k.'s decision to share information with the us without guaranteeing that her son won't face the death penalty hearings have begun in the case of al-shaykh who is being held in a kurdish camp in syria but could face trial in the us his mother says the u.k. home secretary should ensure the information was only used in line with britain's laws which for big capital punishment i baldwin is the senior legal advisor for the legal and policy officer human rights watch is responsible for war crimes and
8:11 pm
crimes against humanity must face justice but at last a 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 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 fair justice systems the other country because which could put people on trial is iraq that the moment we find iraq does not have a justice system capable of given that 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.
8:12 pm
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 ok over the last few years does not seem to want to address crimes committed by citizens it seems to be fed to wash his hands and either make sure these people are put on trial i have house where still ahead on al-jazeera to 60 inmates or children or prison riot between rival gangs and brazil. and afghan seek to preserve what's left of a cultural legacy destroyed under taliban rule. the monsoon rains a set with

8:17 pm
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 saudi u.a.e. coalition strikes many senators fear the weapons sales will make the us complicit in more killings andrew smith is me a coordinator for the campaign against arms trade he says public pressure is needed to force the white house to change its attitude toward saudi arabia. the message being sent from the white house is very clear is that arms company profits are more important to the white house in human rights of people in saudi arabia and the human rights of people in yemen but the fact that it's even gotten this far is unprecedented the fact that we have seen both houses in the united states wolf the house of representatives and the senate condemning arms sales to the largest buyer
8:18 pm
of u.s. weapons is without precedent so i have no date for pressure will continue but the message being sent by donald trump and his colleagues is would rather sell weapons to save the arabia than do what we can to put an end to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world we hope that people who vote for donald trump are just as appalled by these arms sales as people that don't vote for donald trump but this isn't necessarily an issue about donald trump or an issue about republican party this is an institutional issue donald trump may be a particularly grotesque example of that but he is following a policy which has been in place for decades with has been republican administrations or democrat administrations both parties historically have been more than happy to arms exports ahead of human rights and have been extremely cause if it's a do. a battle between rival gangs in a prison in brazil has killed at least 57 prisoners 16 more beheaded others died
8:19 pm
when their cells were set on fire and it's a way to send a series of riots in the world's 3rd largest prison system which the president has promised to reform sarkari it has the latest. inmates on the roof of the regional rehabilitation center in the northern city of al tamera 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
8:20 pm
freed on home this is the latest in a series of course all right. during his election campaign last year president diable scenario promised a crackdown on crimes in jails and reforms of what critics say is this is a very overcrowded and underfunded prison system. the ministry of justice and public safety has made space to send a 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 if i see it fall out 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 off to the u.s. and china brazil has the world's 3rd largest prison population with nearly a quarter of a 1000000 inmates. many belong to gangs who natori is for their viciousness
8:21 pm
against rivals illegal drug use and bribery to maintain their control with most prisons controlled at state level this latest riot is a further test for president both sonora to deliver on his election promises so to hide at. a breaking news to bring to you from the un there are new efforts underway to get an investigation into the bombing of hospitals and syria's live our diplomatic editor james bass joins us with more so james what else are we learned. well this is happened in the last hour richelle and what it's what's known as a demon washing diplomatic language that is a diplomatic petition delivered in person and in this case a petition delivered in person to the u.n. secretary general by 10 ambassadors of the un security council all the ambassadors of the u.n. security council apart from the 3 african ambassador the ambassador russia and
8:22 pm
china those 5 didn't take part but the other 10 did and what they've told the secretary general is that they believe he has the power the legal authority and there is the president for him to set up an inquiry into the bombing of hospitals in it live they say that he should do this because it's the u.n. that controls the de confliction mechanism which clearly isn't working as hospitals continue to be bombed there in libya and they say that this investigation should also work out who is carrying out these bombings clearly this whole effort will be opposed i think by the russians who do not want such an inquiry to take place clearly the only powers with their forces in the area that could have carried out the bombings of these hospitals are the syrian government and russia so russia likely to oppose this the other point bit of information is how the secretary general responded to this i'm told he said it was the 1st time they had come up
8:23 pm
with this idea it was a new idea he needed to examine it he said he'd go to the un's office of legal affairs to get their view on the legality of this proposal but he certainly has not dismiss this out of hand so potentially an important development with regard to the bombardment of it lip then says that the latest from land james thank you. there was a mastermind of the september 11th attacks says he may be willing to help the victims and their lawsuit against saudi arabia and return coley shaikh mohammad wants the u.s. government not to seek the death penalty against him the saudi government has been accused of supporting those behind the 2001 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people saudi arabia denies any involvement or is fine as a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general says a deal with muhammad is possible. the request is not irregular the united states regularly waived the death penalty in order to get extradition of
8:24 pm
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 in 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 the enactment of the gesta legislation that in choosing between the 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 a fuel tank is threatening a fuel leak that is threatening a pristine area in southern chile 40000 liters of diesel spilled into the sea off
