populus get them out to vote with another debate to go on wednesday were front runner joe biden will stand directly between used to biggest critics comolli harrison cory booker 92 was expected to be a least as combative john hendren 0 detroit let's go to watch house correspondent kimberly hall kids in washington d.c. kimberly so tempers flared there at last night's debate and emerged as one of the key issues. yeah a major policy difference that really fires up the emotions not just of the candidates but of ordinary americans the front runners there in that debate bernie sanders senator and also senator elizabeth warren pushing an agenda of nationalizing or socializing health care in the united states and getting some pushback and sharp criticism from some of the other candidates that are trying to kind of raise their profiles but what this really exposed in the combative nature of all of this it really went on for about 90 minutes in terms of a number of topics is that there is

a deep division among the democratic party in the united states right now and that's one of the things that voters will have to decide on whether or not they want sort of some of the canvas to represent the further left wing of the democratic party the progressives or some of the more moderate centrist typically what you would see of the democratic party in recent years so this is the fissure that was exposed but it was very heated very passionate sort of on the issue of race on the issue of border security on the issue of the war in afghanistan there were some real policy differences very passionate debate and we expect that combative nature to continue in the 2nd round this evening yeah as you say kimberly we have round 2 which starts in a few hours time joe biden of course we're trying to fend off camera as cory booker so just talk us through what we can expect in some night's debate. yeah well 1st of all the way they're standing on the stage may be a little bit difficult for joe biden the front runner we saw him dip in the polls

after the last debate come a harris rising as a result of that very viral combative moment between the 2 so joe biden this time will be flanked by not just senator carol harris but also cory booker she'll stand out of the white man and of either side will be african-american candidates who have really hit him hard at some of the policies that have affected african-americans for the past few decades namely cory booker really pushing that when hugh joe biden the former vice president was a senator he was part of what cory booker called the architect of a crime bill that led to a disproportionate number of african-american men being jailed in the united states still many sitting in those jails today millions so as a result there is real concern about these policies joe biden apparently expected to fire back take a much more aggressive tone point out what he says he's done but in the midst of all of this those 3 candidates getting those headlines right now there are still 7

other candidates on the stage they'll be trying to make a name for themselves so they can even continue because you have to remember the democratic national convention not even another in well it's not going to happen for another year or now and then we have the election of course many months after that so still a long way to go in all of this and do you know it can really help that in washington d.c. kimberly thank you now you a civil rights lawyer as i've gone banks of course in an effort to stop the separation of migrant children from their families at the border with mexico the american civil liberties union says more than $900.00 children have been removed from the parents since last year that's despite a court ruling in 2018 the punches should be stamped goes in jordan has moved from washington d.c. . there merican civil liberties union said that it decided to file this latest challenge in federal court because of information that it says the federal government presented to it starting late in 2018 basically that federal agents were

once again separating children from their parents at the us mexico border perhaps for the most frivolous of reasons the a.c.l.u. said in a court complaint filed in california on tuesday that some of these reasons included a parent who did not want to awaken a sick child when she saw her diaper and then authorities taking his child away from him because they claimed he was a bad parent another person lost his child because he had been driving without a valid driver's license and yet other people were accused of being members of gangs even though in most cases they were not the a.c.l.u. said that the federal government is abusing what it says it has to have which is broad discretion to protect children in these circumstances and what the a.c.l.u. wants is an in court hearing with the judge that put in the original order stopping the forcible separation of families and it wants the judge to spell out under

exactly which circumstances the federal government can remove children from their parents a stance of for the children safety are not also to come here on news hour including rolling out the troops why turkey is beefing up its forces in northern syria. 6 years after a 1000000000 has promised what's happening to nicaragua's the panama canal. and in sports the english premier league side talk the real madrid in the pre-season match but the manager of the store that's it's. now a 2nd person has died from the bone a virus in one of the democratic repub. of congo's biggest cities doma is just 2 weeks since the 1st case was found there but officials say they're unrelated 2000000 people live in the city on the border with iran under the d r c's facing the 2nd worst outbreak in history which is claimed the lives of 1700 people

catherine sawyer has the latest from nairobi. this man we're being told was a resident of goma but was working in a mining area in italy province this is another region that has been affected by the bowler and he started feeling sick days after coming back home to go and on tuesday afternoon health workers confirm that indeed he had a boy and now he's dead so now health workers are tracing people who could have come in contact with we're told one of those individuals may have traveled to another region called south kivu province by boat and this complicates things even farther so people in goma very worried indeed more than and a 1000000 people live there and they're not just worried because of the 2 cases but also because this is quite a strategic city one of the largest cities in the r.c. it's also a get away to other countries it's right at the border with one day and it's also

very easy to access other parts of the country of the are safe from goma including the capital city kinshasa with 12000000 people but then i've also been talking to a w.h.o. officials who are saying that they are trying to contain things that they had prepared for such an eventuality for months that goma is on high alert they have set up a hand washing points in different parts of the city the treatment centers are well they have enough personnel as well so there is nothing to worry about but they also are warning people to keep vigil keep clean and make sure that there is no unnecessary contact with each other but as the situation is now a lot of fear people very concerned that this might spread well let's bring in trish newport she's the deputy program manager for it polar response with the international humanitarian aid group doctors without borders she joins us via skype

from geneva the world health organization has now declared this latest about the outbreak in the global emergency yet it seems that your soldiers are losing the battle to contain the disease what's gone so badly wrong. well the the situation is extremely concerning tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the start of this outbreak and we don't see the situation getting any better more than 2600 cases of ebola have been identified in the past year more than 1700 people have died but it's not just that it's concerning it's the characteristics of these numbers so more than 40 percent of all of the new cases were never identified as people that were risk of developing the disease it means that we have no visibility over the epidemiological situation and that's really concerning because that's how we end up with cases in goma that we weren't expecting it to hell week and up with the cases

in uganda that happened in june or the case in any water that was just south of south sudan in june as well it's a really concerning situation and and another huge problem is that people don't trust health care workers and they they they frequently get attacked them and even on terror had to close to treatment centers i believe because of the violence why is there this high level of mistrust in the community. this question of trust is the key thing in this break so it's an it's the ball is happening in an area of conflict that has had years of conflict in beni there have been massacres and massed killings for years i asked one of our staff that lives in the area why she thought that there wasn't a lot of trust towards the people that were in the bill of response and she told me that her husband had died and benny in one of the massacres and she said no organization came then no one came to help us and then i had 3 children die of

malaria but no one came and helped us then and made sure that there was access to health care now there's ebola everyone comes because you're going to make money this is your priority ebola is your priority but it's not our priority our priority is security our priority is making sure there's access to health care and clean water ok because of this you know when the ball breaks started people came with their emergency response we set up isolation to set a contact tracing surveillance systems but there wasn't a lot of community engagement ok now let me let me just jump in there again trish because you know about 2 weeks ago the company's health minister resigned over what he said was outside pressure to roll out this new experimental vaccine so what is the issue briefly with this vaccine why is it so controversial. this is a great question so that scene that's being used right now in the brain is made by merck it's also an experimental vaccine they have vaccinated over 170000 people and it shown to be very effective it's but it's complicated because it's not

a licensed truck scene it's used under research protocol which means you can only that certain people which means people that were in contact with a confirmed case and people that were in contact with those people so it's called the ring strategy. the 2nd that scene that the minister of health was discussing is ringback a vaccine that requires 2 doses so 2 doses 56 days apart and his opposition to using this vaccine is that it has taken so long for the community to trust the 1st team or i trust that we get a final point because it's not new money out of time. roughly a 3rd of all a bone a death a diagnosis off to the person has died which i think highlights the high number of people who avoid the bone a treatment center has so what needs to be done do you think to engage constructively with the community to improve the response great question what needs to be done is we need to be asking the question what their needs are what their

priorities are we need to be listening to them we need to be asking them how they want the ebola response to have been in their communities so if they say we don't have access to health care or we don't have access to water in these are priorities we need to be listening to those people if they say people are treatment centers are too far away that's why we don't go to them we have to look at a way that they can be tested and isolated within their own community ok and if we don't do that we're not going to have a change but we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera thank you very much. well iran is warning it will further scale back its commitments to the nuclear deal and this europe does more to protect the agreement the foreign minister zarif wants the remaining signatories to shield iran from u.s. sanctions and allow it to sell oil to iran is already rolling back some commitments by breaking limits on which to rein in agreed in the 2015 accord has malls in tehran the foreign minister following the weekly cabinet meeting that was held in

the capital this morning said that the e.u. signatories of the nuclear agreement are their actions are not proportionate to their expectations meaning that what they've been expecting from iran to do under this nuclear agreement iran has done but the european signatories have not upheld their on the deal and the iran officials believe that that is because the united states withdrew from this agreement last year and imposed a series of sanctions on their own banking and oil sector which has also affected the european countries that were supposed to invest in iran's economy that was one of the main points of this agreement that iran will freeze its nuclear activities to a certain extent and return it will get relief from a series of sanctions and investments will return to the country but none of that has happened and iran has decided. since may the year a new president announced that every 60 days iran will continue to scale back its commitment and the foreign minister today stress that that is indeed the plan they

are going ahead with and the next phase which will be the 3rd phase of their scaling back their commitment will happen in early september the steps that they've taken so far are reversible immediately this is what the reigning president stressed and that is the feeling here that once the europeans really decide to stand up against the united states and their sanctions then the iranians are more than happy to go back to the terms of the 250 nuclear deal. turkey's defense minister says his country will set up a so-called safe zone in northern syria with or without the u.s. and nato allies will resume talks soon in an effort to reach an agreement but as in the hotter reports now from divisions between them run deep. more soldiers arrived at already heavily fortified positions the show of force coinciding with turkey repeatedly warning it might carry out a possible cross border operation its military wants a safe zone inside the y.p. g. controlled area in northeast syria it considers the syrian kurdish armed group

a threat to its national security but it is also an ally of the united states which has warned turkey against taking any unilateral military action we know that there are officially 2500 u.s. soldiers and nearly 220 u.s. military facilities in the region so in case of a military operation there is a risk that to metalized not all military. face to face there has been a marked increase in u.s. army patrols close to the border with turkey in what seems to be a message to its nato ally they have deep disagreements this fight months of discussions over the creation of the zone turkey does not just want to wipe e.g. to disarm and withdraw from the border area it wants control of the zone that's at least 30 kilometers deep and would stretch from the syrian town of gerard loss to the iraq border that would include why peachey controlled cities and towns like

cold bonnie tell commission. as well as members. turkey says the u.s. needs to end that support to the y. p.g. which it considers an offshoot of the outlawed kurdistan workers' party or the p.k. case it is also not satisfied with the buffer zone solutions proposed by the united states those proposals reportedly involve a zone with a depth of 10 kilometer is that excludes the main population centers along the border. right b.g. supporters have held protests against a possible turkish takeover saying they'll only accept an internationally enforced zone in turkey and the syrian opposition say areas under why pretty control are historically out and a proposed zone means millions of refugees can return to syria in turkey dependent . or russia so. say that they need it is hard to make a prediction about. that. cooperation with russia has allowed turkey to clear the

white p.g. from at least 2000 square kilometers along its border since 2016 but russia doesn't seem to want turkey to increase its influence in syria it says any safe still needs the consent of the authorities in damascus for now it is under u.s. control but if u.s. policy shifts how long that will remain the case is unclear jennifer there. are time for short break here not just iraq when we come back the u.s. and china resume trade talks but the overshadowed by comments from president trump . and his poor the woman who got to the u.s. aid to football glory is going out on top far as the details in school and it's.

a virus has been confirmed in one of the democratic republic of congo's biggest cities it's just 2 weeks since the 1st case was found in goma but officials say they're unrelated to the aussies facing the 2nd worst about a outbreak in history which has claimed the lives of 1700 people. and the un security council is to meet on thursday at the north korea's 2nd missile launch in a week the meetings been requested by france germany and britain old. annoyance to miss out on the town one son. johnson has visited belfast for the 1st time as u.k. prime minister and was greeted by worries about the border and the backstop tomorrow sarah now with more of my european brought us up to barbara. there and thank you yes that's right the so-called backstop and avoiding a hard border with the republic of ireland is a sticking point for boris johnson he wants it scrapped but the e.u. has refused to meet in the u.k. could leave without an agreement at the end of october when arlin's largest

nationalist party told johnson that would be disastrous. 7 grabbing the attention of the prime minister or trying to these belfast shipyard workers are set to lose their jobs their predicament just one of the challenges northern ireland's devolved government here at stormont could be addressing if it were up and running. for instance and promised to spend no effort to make that happen it's great to be to be here in northern ireland and. clearly the people know that out of being without a government without stormont 2 years and sixpence so my prime focus is for us to do everything i can to help that get up and running again the 5 political parties here have been talking since may about how to get the northern irish assembly back in business it was set up in 1980 as part of a peace deal that gave this part of the u.k. a degree of autonomy following but issues including irish language rights and access to abortion remain divisive on top of that politicians have wildly differing

views on brics it and specifically boris johnson's insistence that the e.u. scraps the so-called irish backstop keeping the whole of the u.k. closely aligned with the u. rules until there's a trade deal in place and it's very clear that the end is the backstop that has caused all of the difficulties with the live television and therefore that needs to be the subject of focus nipples and to deal with it and therefore we will support a minister and the other party say that backstop is essential to prevent a hard border they're worried what they call the prime minister's hardline strategy will backfire and see the u.k. leave the e.u. without a deal that in their view would inevitably lead to physical checks at the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and christian faith in the main nationalist party it could even be to push for a referendum on uniting north and south we've made it clear to him that the extensive planning that he tells us he is carrying i was in respect of a potential crash ranks as hostile includes the constitutional question and the

issue of a border poll here in ireland. sinn fein's ultimate aim is and always has been achieving a united ireland and a clear warning to the prime minister is the way he's going about brics it could make the prospects a great deal more likely for now the action at stormont is outside the parliament not in sight even if the assembly does against all expectations resume its work in the near future the challenge of protecting the good friday agreement that created it could make delivering any kind of bricks it an uphill struggle. al-jazeera belfast in baba reporting there will him again there is a writer and political activist based in london there he joins us now via skype sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera the whole issue of the backstop and off obviously you know the fact that there has effectively be no government in ireland for a few years now those things have been there for a while but what do you think boris johnson adds to this of this equation today his

1st day that he went there as prime minister. well whether he's out of anything but open question and i mean mr johnson and it is an awkward position so where is he was seen in ireland has been sitting there for many years as something of a joke figure but he's the prime minister and the joke is wearing very thin them it's not very funny anymore because a mr johnson a great and here in northern ireland to talk to 500 it may be if they went to have dinner last night with all of these 5 part is the democratic unionist party now his dilemma is this mr johnson is dependent on the democratic unionist party at westminster over to london for his parliamentary majority and yet it's constitutionally buggered to be your drop the balance of his approach to your there's a nationalism in northern ireland so this is really an impossible situation it requires a very delicate balance and delicacy of bombs are not the qualities which come of

mediately to my aid when we talk about mr bob barr's john snow but i think this and the fact that the d u p does hold the balance of power in westminster was an issue that the reason may face as well but both johnson is the one that says that you know the u.k. is going to leave the e.u. no matter what on uk you know of our 31st which of course raises all sorts of issues with ireland and the backstop and already we hear shane fein saying that they've that happens if you get a hard back said then what they want is a referendum on irish unity how much closer do you think boris johnson as prime minister and the hard break said presumably october 31st takes us to a scenario of a possible referendum. oh it definitely takes us closer to a referendum just as the practice strategy of mr johnson's government and this is maybe for i'm mistaken scott that crucial p.r. effort undermine independence and scotland and northern ireland both voted to stay within the european union of their votes where she walked back huge majority are

leaving and anger so already people in northern ireland and in scotland ceded sort of that they are being marginalised this into scotland goes and that's very possible and northern ireland having a referendum and it's very difficult to see how the united kingdom can hold together in education has been in existence of it in a 103 but is now under enormous strain and there's no saying with all that mr johnson fully understands sort of the depth of the crisis or the delicacy sort of with which one has to tip through a tiptoe through it so i think that a border referendum is closer now i than ever and if that is the end result of it it will be sure previously i run rate because mr johnson is a strong unionist eruv the whole of northern ireland close within the united kingdom but head strategy may be the one which in the air results in a rupture between northern end of bread. so i mean it would be a propriety ironic situation i guess we've seen how divisive breck's it has been

since the referendum i suppose perhaps the media in general has focused more on england than westminster the political divisions now arland has always been a key part both the republic of ireland and the northern ireland how has northern ireland lived in the past few years since the referendum because of course it's been the focus of so much talk over the backstop but when it comes out on a kind of human level and the tensions that are always you know quite close to the surface how is it lived over the past few years well i suppose in a statement so moderately nervous anticipation. when for the last couple of years nobody has known what was going to happen as a result of the british decision to leave and of day there's a lot of evidence that mrs treason may didn't know what was going to happen and a mr johnson doesn't know there this is a situation where all bets are off sort of the usual assumptions have to be discarded there is

a set of an ominous sense in northern ireland that we are coming in spite of aides that we're coming close either to a resolution of the its own problem in ireland or to it exploding again and. it's with the constitutional arrangements across these islands may well be through up in the air within the next status 69 months but that sounds very moving what's yet they're going to fall back down again and considering the history quite recent history of violence there that sounds terrifying. it is and it's terrifying except that on the bright side there is no doubt to talk all in my main that the overwhelming majority of people in northern ireland and i'm talking 95 percent plus an overwhelming majority do not want a return to violence and that stealing on the grind among the mass of the people me and the end of prevail night it will be a full each person make predictions as to whether there is going to be a right use of the qaeda violence again in northern ireland but my own view of my

own feeling both from walking around the streets here is that the minds of the people do not want and he say do not want to return to the sort of violence we have had major you know senegal you could've said well he never did that happen before the people never actually of the violence the real problem is that it is difficult to see a constitutional route out of this situation and then last mr johnson or somebody can invent one we all just going to have to wait to see if there is a part or across error and it's very difficult to see how there could be a barter across ireland of britain as i would say the e.u. and southern ireland as and say. of course there would have to be tyrants and there have to be checks and personnel and so on if a part is my duty if anybody erected infrastructure and they would have to take along the border to control terrorism movement of goods so for them people will carry the done with their bare hands and not make the best i can because if they

are going toward the end of the request i'm supposed for example where people have to pull in their cars or trucks and check make no mistake about it and i don't say i say this as a person it's violence and the 2nd incident is a brief yes i have but then do you think that the e.u. could make some concessions over the issue of the hard border. well we can which is i think it difficult to know what they concession would be maybe wealthy but when the the a days and weeks take away towards the top of the 31st which is the absolute deadline and it may well be sort of that people well if it were ok we can't go down the road sort of in the in this chart crashing whoop and we're going to have to do something different but i confess that if you were to ask me what it is that they could do differently how good it is that they could change the agreement so as to make all states be comfortable with it i have no idea i thought and neither does anybody else that i talk to you're not the only one name and began right around political activist based in london barry sir thank you for sharing your views with us thank

you thank you now germany has rejected a u.s. request to help ensure a safe navigation in the strait of hormuz as tensions with iran continue to grow the foreign minister haykel moussa says germany's position is to avoid any further escalation in the gulf he warned there is no military solution to the tensions washington had called on berlin to join britain and france in a mission to patrol the crucial shipping well nato secretary-general yet still can beg says member states are concerned by the situation in the gulf but confirmed there has been no formal request for support from the military alliance nato all of us are concerned about the situation in the gulf and the freedom of navigation is of course of great importance for all of our nato allies and several nato allies have all of the assets in the gulf but there's been no request for a nato mission in the gulf. more than $100.00 migrants a stranded at sea are now allowed to come ashore after italy and the e.u.
