a little break here you. yank elections the manifesto this is not a decision that b j p have taken out of the blue it was part of their election manifesto all along it is in fact ingrained in their ideology to put him above all other religions and seeks to establish a state that represses all other religious groups. it was a heated parliamentary session where the leader of the opposition says that pakistan has 2 choices now either to hide or take decisive action but people on both sides of the line of control of heard fiery speeches before the feeling here is on bread and inside he not knowing what is happening beyond these mountains in the indian administered side of the smear remains cut off from the outside world pakistan's military leaders say they will go to any extent to fulfill their obligation to the kashmiri people on the army spokesman tweeted pakistan never recognize the indian efforts to legalize its occupation of genuine kashmir through

article 370 or 35 a decades ago. and india have fought multiple wars over the territorial dispute there are fears that this latest move from india could provoke another. artist on administered kashmir. well that is the view from pakistan but the decision to remove the. autonomous status has received widespread support meant. for the 1st time in decades here allow the arena is feeling optimistic because schmear hindu fled with his family from indeed administered kashmir in 1990 because of religious violence he's pleased with the indian government's decision to revoke the region's autonomy under article 370 but has his concerns if we are we are supposed to go back. the what shall we give what is a home. what shall we. and all shall do in the city

of the who would look after us and who wouldn't be a god part of. india's home minister led to his ace charge for change in the lower house of parliament where the bill passed easily thanks to the government's majority and support from the opposition members but many members of parliament say support for india in the kashmir valley has dried up following the government's revoking of the region's autonomy and splitting it into 2 federal territories even those who politically supported the indian government in the region are now lashing out this is not india that i believe. there is a democratic india taking on india. whatever your religion whatever your region. the students studying in your new delhi are worried they've been scrambling to find a way to contact their families and friends in indeed administered kashmir without

much success my main guns on that my parents even ok like they haven't i don't know they've been alive for me. not knowing what they're going to. say it. so i know what are the problems but this is the highest this is the worst kind of situation that is happening now. as many worry about their families and kashmir being cut off others are dreaming of a new beginning their fares jamil al jazeera new delhi. as they want while the news for now and u.s. president on the trump has shrugged off areas of a protracted trade war with china he says he says investment is flooding into america and that the economy's strong traumas comments were made a day after the u.s. treasury accused the china of currency manipulation a white house correspondent committee reports. a strong economic position that's the claim the trump white house made amid an intensifying trade war turned currency

dispute between the united states and china america's job for business america is open for business it's been a week of back and forth between the world's 2 largest economies monday the u.s. treasury accused china of currency manipulation following a sharp drop in the u.n. against the american dollar for filling a campaign promise made by u.s. president donald trump. the drop comes following more u.s. tariffs on chinese goods last week 10 percent on 300000000000 products effective september 1st china retaliated announcing its state run companies would stop buying u.s. agricultural products inflicting further strain on u.s. farmers but on twitter president trouble argued the u.s. is benefiting from the economic tit for tat massive amounts of money from china and other parts of the world is pouring into the united states companies are also

coming to the u.s. in big numbers this is a transformative president. who is going in many places where prior presidents and both parties have fear to tread and i think part of that has to be trade. but the trade war has hurt american farmers already the u.s. government has put in place to aid packages to compensate for the billions in lost sales for products like soybeans and pork to china and we hope to see fewer acts like the. which serves no one's interest we also hope the us sticks to the facts and solves the us china economic and trade issue more rationally and practically rather than move further along the wrong path is the white house says it's still working with china to negotiate what it calls the right deal it expects more talks with beijing in september kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house now the u.s.

says tough new sanctions would have cut off financing for venezuela's president the united states has frozen venezuelan government assets and the us blocking all american companies and individuals from doing business with the nickel us mother autos that ministration and its supporters u.s. national security advisor john bolton has warned the sanctions will be imposed on anyone who supports the government in caracas he was speaking in peru where a meeting is under way on the economic and political crisis in venezuela president trump has taken a very strong move here imposing these sweeping sanctions putting a full bloc of full freeze on all assets of all parts of the government of venezuela in the u.s. and also imposing sanctions or setting the. situation to impose sanctions on any person or business that goes significant business with the government of venezuela so this goes well beyond anything we've done before and it

really is a very strong move by the president but let's go now talk osp on don't suppose she's joining us live from the venezuelan capital and unsurprisingly we've had strong reaction from venezuela teresa. well that's correct more u.s. sanctions that definitely pulled the united states much closer to imposing a full embargo in this country even though the united states is insisting it is not banning american companies from dealing with the venezuelan government freezing assets of its what and assets in the united states threatening foreign powers foreign companies from doing government business where the government of nickel out of the law among so many other things that we have been hearing all day. here saying that this is an economic terrorism thing that this will definitely have a huge impact on the population asking the united nations to investigate the united states and to put an end to what they say is an enormous economic pressure in order

to get the mother were out of office on the other side the united states is insisting that this is necessary in order to get out of power they're saying that there's been serious for one rights abuses corruption among other things that are causing the suffering of the venezuelan people and right in the middle of all this debate are the venezuelan people those who are suffering every day from an enormous economic crisis with hyperinflation millions leaving the country among many other things and opposition leader kwang why the law says in spite of all of this that the only way to pressure the government of nicola into giving in to something either free and fair elections or actually leave off is is to do with this type of measures. in the you know this is nothing to do with the purchasing of food medicine and proper convenience this doesn't have anything to do with it all goes against those who are rich themselves at the expense of hungry people enrich themselves at the expense of people who need medicine. so the u.s.

has been putting more and more sanctions on venezuela's government tories about how much pressure does that put on the door and her supporters. well most of the analysts and people we have spoken to here in venezuela and they're brought there is basically saying that this type of sanctions in general do not work and an example of it is what's happening in cuba what happens in north korea what happens in iran they generate a lot of suffering on the people impoverish the country by the way they do not generally force any type of political change in the country and that's why i mean look what's important here is that so far the military continues to support the it's like a corporation that is part of the government is not a separate entity it's part of the government and they remain loyal to him and that's why some type of change is so difficult for it to happen in venezuela right now there are several in

a way attempts to negotiate something there's meetings with the opposition on the government in barbados mostly sponsored by norway the meetings have been very very secretive you've got to we do know that because the opposition is the man presidential elections and the government is saying that nicolas maduro and in 2025 and also there's been a meeting on this day in lima peru of 60 countries who met there in order to try to find and discuss the future of any sort of the future of venezuela democracy their statement just came out and what they're basically saying is that there needs to be a solution that democracy restoring democracy in this country is crucial in order to prevent not only a crisis here but also a regional crisis because of the millions of people that have left the country and also addressing the serious human rights abuses that were already denounced by the united needs human rights were presented it michel. in spite of all of this of this pressure that meeting they're basically saying that the only way out of the current

crisis in venezuela is through want to go see a show and not through force tourism thank you very much for that as torie is a bow with all the latest developments live and the venezuelan capital thank you. now colombia has given passports 224000 undocumented children born to venezuelan migrants the government says it's a humanitarian measure as migration policies are tightened and other latin american countries venezuela's neighbors are struggling to cope with what's become one of the world's largest refugee crises i listen to around preeti has more from the colombian capital of bogota. the romero was 7 months into a high risk pregnancy when she fled to colombia lack of various in a crumbling health system meant she wasn't getting any caring business where her son neighbor was born prematurely and without being officially registered wasn't able to visit a hospital except for emergencies. only without nationality or proper

registry we either faced shut doors or out of reach cos we are undocumented migrants with informal jobs. but that will change for a neighbor as colombia grant citizenship to 24000 undocumented children born here in the past 4 years and 2 others yet to be born within the next 2. step inside today colombia gives this message to the world to those who want to use on a phobia for political goals we take the path of fraternity. about 4000000 venezuelans a fled food shortages blackouts and. caused by years of economic collapse. colombia's borne the brunt sheltering around one and a half 1000000 until now colombia required at least one parent to have legal residence for their children to wire citizenship the presidential decree is an attempt to respond to the ever growing influx of refugees in an attempt to control

the overwhelming number of stateless children. father will front is a catalyst priest who runs a shelter for venezuela refugees and. they weren't from here nor from there they received the certificate of birth but had no rights we hope this means government bodies will now have to safeguard their rights. many parents say they considered returning home to be this way to register their children but doing so was both difficult and dangerous and i'll bet says the government decision is a huge relief nothing was as i did fear anymore that he will remain undocumented in this way out in a limbo i thank god and the president i feel lucky and proud he is colombian the creator expected to protect the generation of children it could even provide a path to citizenship for their immigrant parents as neighboring countries continue to struggle with how to accommodate the ever growing rush of refugees escaping the

chaos are. there plenty more ahead on the news hour including fighting in the democratic republic of congo and rwanda agree on a plan to tackle its outbreak and. troops deployed in malawi in a bid to restore calm between police and protesters. and in sports former n n caption way leaving the u.s. after signing as a player with 2nd tier. county. a texas police chief has apologized after 2 white officers on horseback led a black handcuffed man down a road by a rope photos of the arrest have sparked widespread outrage galveston's police chief said his officers showed poor judgment and should have waited for

a transport unit or that a statement to the chief called it an unnecessary embarrassment for the detainee but he also called the officers actions a trained technique and best practice and some say largo's he added that the officers had no malicious intent and assured that it won't happen again shihab rattansi has more from washington d.c. . 43 year old donal neely is bipolar he's homeless he's had several run ins with the police they know he's mentally ill in fact his family have been looking for him for some time to try and bring him back home he was arrested for criminal trespass on saturday and it was decided by the officers that this was the best way to deal with him because there wasn't a vehicle to transport or that his handcuff them attach a rope to the handcuffs and then leave him for 2 blocks by horseback be police say this is a normal routine measure that they use in volatile situations crowd control for example but of course this wasn't

a volatile situation and now we have this apology from the police who say that they realize the mistake was made that the officers they showed poor judgment but but the police chief says that as far as he's concerned there is nothing malicious about it as far as we know no disciplinary action is being taken against the officers but of time of heightened discussion about how white supremacy imbues us society at a time when we've long been looking at how the police deal with both african-americans and actually the mentally ill black people who are likely to be killed by the by police officers than white in fact a study came out just on monday from the national academy of sciences a black man has a one in a 1000 jobs are being killed by a police officer the mentally ill have a 16 times more likely chance of being killed by a police officer than the not mentally ill person there's a lot to unpack in this photograph at this particular time that's not to say it's necessarily anything out of the ordinary but the difference is in this day and age these images go viral and that discussion then can ensue. well let's get more on

this we're joined now by clayborne carson he's the director of the martin luther king jr research and education institute is also a professor of history at stanford university and he's joining us from stanford california mystic awesome very good to have you with eyes on al-jazeera i want to start with something that we've heard from the houston. p.d. that's of course the national. advice association for the advancement of colored people who said that the actions that they glad galveston police apologized and said that the actions showed poor judgment but also that this shows poor training do you agree does this show that there is a wider issue where the training of police think that this is ok you know i think it's not just a matter as a matter store it is stamped it seems that they are the only one. awareness in history will understand. your ground

and enough and. resonates with worst aspects of the race as you know going back to its roots. jane chain. so. in the 20th. there's lynching and you know all of these issues. to make a public but it really. is and again it's they said that this the this shows poor judgment but if you look at just the practice itself that they say they're now going to end why hadn't they stopped at a long time ago or i think that you know whether this is something that can be blamed on a single players. or whether something higher up the chain or answer you know i think it would you say they don't object in other words

but i would wonder what was happening i mean and what kind of direction. you know i would say that this was the rule. out. well and situation. and i think it's look up and design. and mr carson again the police saying that this is best practice and some scenarios the actions that they took what do you make of that i mean what scenarios would those be well as i said earlier it's all computer management. it's not it's. it's it's really designed it's one thing. and it's not knowing that it was really good is

that you will see your command. and that it literally in terms of its weight. anyone with a slightly reduced. or historical amnesia. is a national used them through mr carson we thank you very much for your time on the side i apologize we don't have a very good connection but we do thank you for your time clayborne carson live in stanford california thank you. now survivors from the mass shooting and el paso texas is speaking out about their experiences as president donald trump prepares to visit the city there are mixed feelings about his trip the congresswoman representing the district has refused and potations to meet the president should be attending a protest instead rob reynolds reports. in el paso each day brings new

that there's any need for him to tom and i think the collapse of the only possible morgana just talking unity if he doesn't trump has made restricting immigration the center of his political platform he has described mexicans as criminals and rapists he referred in obscene terms to countries whose people seek to enter the us and grinned at a rally when a supporter suggested shooting migrants holding says trump's words matter his language has consequences and we saw what those consequences would be that he said bad. immigrants aren't invaders and that's the exact same language that the shooter used in his essay that he wrote explaining his reasons for coming so since the beginning of the year the trump reelection campaign has posted more than 2000 immigration themed ads on facebook using the term invasion university of texas el paso scholar daniel check on says words like that are packed with negative

meaning to invade you know a country or region is to take it over to dominate it to be invaded by you know by another army is basically what you're saying they want to come in they want to take over they want to take what's ours but the el paso. look and party chairman says trump's words are not racist and that he is welcome you know past i think the president coming here to show that he's got concern i think is outstanding there's a lot of people in this community that support him certainly many in this city will welcome from with courtesy others however they feel it is he who is invading them rob reynolds al-jazeera el paso. the united nations and the european union have voiced concern over a new italian law targeting charity rescue boats in the mediterranean that all gives the government in iran more authority to block ships trying to bring migrants

ashore alexi or brian reports. calling for a safe harbor the spanish rescue vessel open arms remains off the coast of italy carrying more than 120 migrants it picked up from the mediterranean sea. italy's refusing to late at dock and is threatening a $50000.00 fine if the captain tries. to go it off but since the italian parliament approved a new law on monday targeting open arms could face a fine of up to $1100000.00. there were protests against the so-called security decree which allows for the arrest of captains who ignore orders to stay out of italian ports and the immediate seizure of their boats the european union says it's analyzing the changes to see if they compatible with e.u. laws while the un's refugee agency warns the decree could put already vulnerable

people and even more danger n.g.o.s play an invaluable role in saving the lives of refugees and migrants attempting the dangerous sea crossing to europe their commitment and humanity should not be criminalised more stigmatised the decree is seen as a victory for deputy prime minister. and his far right league party he says rescued migrants can only land in italy if an agreement is already in place with other european countries to look after them. in june the german captain of a say watch rescue ship was briefly detained for breaking an italian naval blockade trying to stop her bringing a group of migrants ashore. italy's one of the main mediterranean entry points for people fleeing conflict and poverty in the middle east and north africa. the u.n. says nearly 4000 have landed. after the treacherous crossing.

hello there frame on to rain across eastern sections of the united states the 1st well down into florida we're seeing some fairly strong thunderstorms and that line of cloud that is really tending to cling to those coastal areas so again thunderstorms but really on wednesday it's all about the northeast still mr new york down into washington d.c. which is a cools warm this time of year 32 degrees and then we're also going to see some showers in the kansas city even down into dallas sort of a line of rain showers really pushing all the way from the upper midwest through the great lakes down into southern areas of texas and then by thursday we may even see some rain into denver which is probably quite welcome this time of year 31 celsius is the high and a very wet day in kansas city and we could have some thunderstorms there with your high of 30 degrees celsius but it continues to kid away from the funnel the so draw into washington d.c. then we head across into the cow have been out about couple days ahead across much of cuba but we have got quite a bit of cloud through haiti dominican republic and wednesday not about day

generally across southern mexico the yucatan peninsula the rain is further to the south and the east but it does tend to become much more widespread on thursday really all the way from panama as you can see right the way then up into southern portions of mexico so 22 in mexico city and 32 and a sunny skies in cozumel. president's son donald trump jr was promised damaging information about the hillary clinton

allegation to see just sit down did the trump card. with russia did you at any time former f.b.i. director james comey in any way shape or form a closer to the investigation into michael flynn and also as you know no. expression battlefield washing on al jazeera. it's good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news dollar these are our top stories on says it would use maximum pressure on india after new delhi's decision to strip and administered kashmir of its autonomy promise to iran khan has warned

the situation could lead to a very gentle war. the us says new sanctions against venezuela with cut off financing for presidential. about as far as an all venezuelan government assets blocking u.s. companies and the vigils from doing business with other words administration. and u.s. president on trumpet shrugged off fears of a protracted trade war with china washington accuse china of being a currency manipulator after the year one fell to its lowest level in more than a decade. so to get more on our top story now on the tensions between india and pakistan of the disputed region of kashmir and of i joined now by michael cook of men deputy director and senior associate for south asia at the wilson center and he's joining us from annapolis in the u.s. state of maryland mr kuperman very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so we've seen the indian parliament pass legislation to go ahead with changing the status of

kashmir but does that make these changes legal or constitutional given the people and politicians weren't consulted. well one could argue whether this is a legal move or whether it's illegal but i certainly think for me the biggest concern is how undemocratic this move this i mean this was clearly a unilateral decision to change the status of the kashmir with as you suggest you noted other really no prior consultations in parliament much less with with kashmiris and you know the kashmir is there were most affected by this they were literally left in the dark because you know the indian security forces imposed a walk down in the days leading up to its decision to revoke article 370 so for me the big issue is the mark received factor and mr coogan men. did the indian government do this because they know that the people in the kashmir valley would

never agree to these changes. oh absolutely you know it's quite clear that you know when you talk about kashmiri muslims in the kashmir valley there is a very strong sentiment in favor of independence so many of these people have suffered for so long thanks to the very heavy handed and brutal tactics of indian security forces the last thing that these people want is to be formally integrated with an indian state that they so despise so clearly and india knew that this was going to be a very risky move that would not have locked down the entire region if it didn't think that there would be unrest that could break out once this decision had been taken what's going to happen when the eighty's realize what's happened. well that's the big question i mean i imagine that there would would certainly be on rests and violence i would argue that this move by india could even spark a new phase of insurgency in kashmir so you know i think that that suggests to me

that the indians will try to drag out this lockdown i imagine and they'll be in no immediate rush to ease its grip on the region though of course even if it were to remove the lock down and ease its grip on kashmir as you know the indian security forces are always there so it may very difficult for these kashmiris to express their their discontent which of course will only sharpen their grievances that they harbor toward the indian state and again how undemocratic is that keeping a region and a communication and media blackout while making decisions about their future also pakistan have said that india is a violation of several un resolutions can we expect any action from the united nations from others about what's happening and made in to the people that. well that's a good question i mean it's notable that the world has for a long time been quiet about pakistan is for a long time tried to get the issue on the global agenda and it's largely failed now

it has a tremendous opportunity to try to internationalize the dispute simply because pakistan has made such an unprecedented move i'm not sure how do you want to respond certainly the u.n. has ruled on the kashmir issue in the past in previous decades that it issued several resolutions calling for a club to take place in kashmir to determine the future of the of kashmir status if there were to be demilitarization in the region but i don't know i know that the un secretary general has called for calm but i'm not sure how much further than the u.n. will go which really is quite troubling for the absolutely and important to remember a plebiscite that was promised to the people 70 years ago and now michael cook and we thank you very much for your time and your expertise on this thank you. now the united states has warned turkey that it's one thing to prevent any you need lateral incursions and syria saying such a move would be unacceptable it comes as turkish president the announced he'd sent

troops about 30 to 40 kilometers east of the euphrates river which is now controlled by kurdish y p g fighters. well the y.p. g a u.s. ally in the battle against eisel is considered a terrorist group by at the un has said he was losing patience with washington on the setting up a so-called safe sign in the area in northern syria. short of an increase in duty to talk. it's our top priority to train the terrorists want in northern syria turkey cannot feel safe as long as a structure in the south which is growing like a cancer cell and is increasing with the heavy weapon itself is not eliminated if we don't do what's needed today we would have to do it to morrow by paying a bigger cost god willing we will bring our operation so a different phase very soon. has the latest from istanbul. a 2nd day of talks with 3 military officials from the united states and turkey they are trying

to establish a safe cern in northern syria but so far no signs of any real progress we have heard though from voices from the sidelines including mark esper the u.s. defense secretary who said that it would be unacceptable for turkey to stage any kind of unilateral incursion into northern syria east of the euphrates he said that it wouldn't be in the common interest of the syrian democratic forces made up largely of kurdish y p g fighters or of turkey itself and also the united states to also him too that the u.s. would be prepared in some way to push back against any unilateral incursion into the north of the country but did say hoped for a positive outcome of the talks between u.s. and turkish officials we've also heard from the turkish president president who's been addressing ambassadors in ankara he said that if turkey didn't take action anytime soon that it could later on lead to he said

a higher price later he also went on to slam countries double standards very much hinting at the united states when it comes to dealing with the white p.g. regarded very much by turkey as a terrorist organization in the same vein he said as i saw it but the white p.g. have been firm allies of the united states heavily armed by the u.s. to in the fight against i saw they are for singing very much of the moment from 2 very different him sheets turkey knows that it also wants to create a safe so in the north of syria to hopefully begin allowing syrians who are here in turkey in a large number to return at least temporarily to that part of the country but whether or not they can find common ground and establishing the dynamics for this safe zone is very unclear. at the moment talks are continuing police in hong kong
