according to environmentalists 195000 trees have been cut down that's 4 times the number that the canadian based gold mining company our most gold and its turkish subsidiary. said they were going to cut down in an initial environmental impact report there's also a huge amount of concern about the possible use of liquid cyanide to separate the gold form and saw concerns cyanide will pollute the topsoil will also leach into the local water supply. well the turkish subsidiary behind the mines say that they will replace thousands of trees but there are worries that time is running out to save the soil concerns about desert or for creation meaning that plant trees will no longer be able to grow here the government has denied that there's any risk of cyanide affecting the saw or indeed their water supplies but these people aren't too sure there's been several demonstrations over the course of the week you could

see another war already starting to grow here people coming from different classes of the country to make their voices heard major infrastructure development of green the backbone of the turkish economy in recent years. but there's also a lot of anger here but not enough judy diligence was done with. this incredibly lucrative contract for this international company. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including what is the u.s. this isn't a label china a currency manipulator actually mean for the 2nd largest economy in the world the desperate search for water in zimbabwe and appeals for help and what's described as a national disaster. preparations for tennis's next grand slam are not going according to plan for the moment i want you to explain.

but 1st the u.s. president donald trump has now arrived in dayton ohio where a gunman killed 9 people on sunday he's expected to meet emergency workers and some of the victims but protesters have also gathered they accuse him of inciting recent violence later he'll head to el paso texas where 22 people were killed in a mass shooting on saturday before he left for ohio the u.s. president told reporters a ban on assault rifles would be unlikely but congress is working on changes to gun legislation. that there is no political appetite at that moment if you look at. your own polling no political appetite probably going to lead like you but i will certainly bring that up i'll bring that up a. great appetite and i made a very strong appetite for background and i think we can bring up background like

we were let's cross over to rob reynolds who's joining us from el paso as we're saying the president has just arrived in dayton he will then move on to el paso where you are where a gunman killed at least 22 people rob give us a preview of. well i just like to point out also the dorrien that in those remarks before leaving the white house the president also said that he was going to try as much as possible to stay out of the political aspects of this but at the same time he criticized his political his opponents and critics for having political motives and even alleged that the gunman in the dayton ohio shootings were 9 people died was a suspected gunman i should say was a supporter of 2 of the candidates for the democratic nomination for president senators bernie sanders and elizabeth warren nother senator who is running for

president cory booker of new jersey will have a major speech as he puts it on gun violence today you know when the president gets here he's going to meet with 1st responders police officers and doctors may meet with some of the family members and some of the wounded survivors of the shooting as well this is the headline in the local paper the el paso times as you can see it says mr president we are hurting against a black background and the 1st line in the article written by the editorial staff of the paper is dear mr president today is a tragic day to visit el paso that some of the tenor of the of the feeling here in el paso you can see behind me daryn this more a wall that grows day by day hour by hour minute by minute and in it

a lot of there are there are some very interesting messages many of them saying el paso strong another hand lettered sign reading we will not be shaken pray for el paso one very interesting comment said if we could spread. love is quickly as we spread hate and negativity what a wonderful world we could live in and another sign written in spanish says senor trump no muss octal stay out of it which of course means dear mr trump. do not commit any more acts of racism so the president i think will get mostly a civil and courteous. reception here the mayor of el paso will be guiding him around and escorting him from place to place but there is also going to be a protest in the center of town organized by a number of civic groups and the the representative the congresswoman who represents this part of texas. veronica escobar has said that

she will not meet with president trump unless he is willing to engage in a conversation about how his rhetoric is discussion of ny grits as invaders as an infestation and his repeated attacks against this city as a kind of war zone when in fact it is a very safe city. lot of people here are pointing out that this atrocity did not originate in el paso el paso was the victim of a person who came from the outside to allegedly commit this act of violence and they are they are drawing together on their own community pointing out the good points of their community their own efforts to unify as a contrast to the other more divisive strains that are at large in american politics at the moment you know rob so what are people there that you've been

talking to say that they they'd like to see from this white house and from this administration. a lot of people are saying that there is absolutely no reason for americans or anyone else to be able to purchase weapons of war i.e. semi automatic or automatic weapons and so they would like to see some action on that that is something that the president appears to have ruled out saying there's no political appetite for it however the house of representatives which is controlled by the democrats did pass a comprehensive gun control bill in february that's been sitting in limbo in the u.s. senate which is controlled by the republican party and the majority leader mitch mcconnell has refused to allow that to come to a vote so a lot of people here are asking why is it that someone can go and buy a weapon that is intended for the battlefield and unleash it on innocent shoppers

in a in a large crowded store all right rob reynolds thank you for that update from el paso let's also to joseph aside kron he's a board member for the brady campaign that's an organization which aims to prevent gun violence he's joining us from baltimore via skype thanks very much for speaking to us on the al-jazeera news hour as we're saying the president just landed in dayton where we also understand there are protests going on he will then move on to el paso just give me a reaction to to his visits. yeah thanks so much for having me during look i i think this is an incredibly difficult time for our country you know we continue to see one senseless tragedy after another and i think frankly you know the american people are not willing to sit on the sidelines of history and community members get slaughtered day in and day out and so in regards to the visit

look it's not uncommon for the commander in chief to visit an area that has been devastated after a tragedy to help console that community i think one of the 1st things that i think of is the resources that that takes away because we know anytime a president is it's an area that takes a significant amount of resources right now we really need to be focusing on delivering care to those patients and providing support for the community out side of that i think there's something also that is incredibly important is that the rhetoric that we have seen from this administration has been incredibly anti immigrant and when you look at what happened in el paso well you where you have someone that drove 600 miles to commit a violent act that was in you know based on

a trade and racism. that is just unacceptable so we need our leadership our elected officials to bring us together not splinter do you believe that the events of el paso and dates and will actually affect the conversation around not only gun laws but also this issue of white supremacy end and extremism terms that we've heard been thrown around especially over the past couple of days. yeah i think you know we continue to see these mass shootings and the senseless tragedies that happen and i think it can be frustrating when we don't see any action at the federal level but i think it's important to remember that in america most governing happens at the local and state level and last year we saw 67 pieces of gun legislation that were passed in states

all across this country so we are starting to see some action and we're also starting to see our voters really hold these elected officials accountable we saw that in the 2018 election and i think that's going to continue to increase there you're right there right just on the issue of action our correspondent earlier on was reporting that there seems to be some sort of momentum for something that the president himself proposed and that is the issue of what's called red flag laws which means taking away the opportunity for someone who is considered mentally ill to be able to buy guns if that were to become law how significant how important is that step and is that enough. yes so the extreme risk protection orders that you're talking about which some people call red flag laws that is an important piece but it's important to look at the broad perspective here there is no one

solution that's going to and this public health crisis this requires a multifaceted approach now what the extremist protection orders do is it empowers a community. to be able to recognize people that potentially are a danger to themselves or others and then implement you know a process a due process that will temporarily seize those firearms and potentially save lives so i think that there is value to that but that's just one of many things that we have to do all right so we'll have to leave it there we thank you very much joseph a sacrum for speaking to us from baltimore. thank you very much a police chief in the u.s. state of texas has apologized after 2 white officers on horseback led a handcuffed black man down a street by rope photos of the arrests and sparked widespread outrage galveston's police chief says his officers showed poor judgment and should have waited for

a transport units in a statement the chief calls it an unnecessary embarrassment for the detainee but he also called the officer's actions a train technique and best practice in some scenarios he added that the officers had no malicious intent and that it won't happen again the resultant is the director of the national association for the advancement of colored people's washington bureau and its senior vice president for advocacy and policy he doesn't believe it's an isolated incident. they're treating it as if it's just some kind of anomaly but yet as we listen to those in the local area talk about how police officers and the relationship between communities of colors go where we see is someone that has a longstanding set of problems they're treating it as if it's just this time this place and with this person but what we've heard is that these kind of things happen quite often and as such what will be done to prevent this kind of activity from happening again not just the punishment of these police officers have been so

outrageous in their handling of another human being but how we make sure the police officers treat anyone this being suspected of a crime in a very respectful way this is something we're going to have to look at we've heard them talk about no new policies we've heard no discussion about training we've had no discussion about oversight and prevention how do we make sure this doesn't happen what are we telling other police officers to learn from this awful mistake if indeed that's what they see it being. continued to slide in central banks worldwide are cutting interest rates amid increased fears that global growth is being affected by washington's trade war with china earlier this week they white house label beijing a currency manipulator but what does that actually mean for the world's 2nd largest economy scott hyder has more from beijing. a new battleground in the intensifying trade war between the world's 2 largest economies currency valuation

the chinese government eased its control over the yuan allowing the currency to surpass the 7 per us dollar level for the 1st time in more than a decade that prompted the u.s. treasury department to designate china as a currency manipulator something it hasn't done in 25 years. with the un worth last chinese exports become cheaper allowing to compete better in the u.s. than across the world partly offsetting the u.s. tariffs imposed on chinese imports but it will come at a cost to chinese consumers they will pay more for imports china's central bank is denying the u.s. accusation saying it's a protectionist practice some economists think china allowing more u.n. volatility can only go so far china is trying to say that we're not going to be brave by the u.s. and a small reminder to escalation of the trade war and what china can do about a further escalation for china to use exchange rate as a weapon is highly unlikely because when a drops to say $7.00 or 8 then it becomes

a political issue after share prices worldwide fell earlier this week in reaction to china's move some experts say the view inside china is not as pessimistic and a weaker you one was expected at some point in the past the u.s. has been hesitating with the currency manipulator label over concern that it could trigger a trade war but we're already in one so the consequences are low and the negotiations with the international monetary fund could take up to a year and some feel that the i.m.f. won't act against china despite the u.s. accusation of manipulation when he starts mentioning the i.m.f. the question is what could he do there the i.m.f. is a consentual organization they're not going to take sides in fact 2 weeks ago they already issued their own statement about china's currency and they said that it is and why with international standards despite the arguments the u.s. says it's still planning for a visit from

a lot of problems in terms of visibility as well tehran though as we go towards friday $37.00 degrees for you and baku a nice day with a perception of $28.00 degrees there where across the gulf it is going to be the winds as well that have been affected here for parts of doha but i want to take you over here towards down here towards yemen where we have seen some very heavy rain over the last few days and for a sun that has meant some localized flooding across much of the area thursday is looking better there a lot of the rain has been pushed out a touch a few of 24 degrees and as we go towards friday the temperatures stay the same but we do expect to see a little bit more in terms of clouds and possibly even some rain coming into the forecast there here across southern part of africa it is going to be clear across much of the interior down here across the cape though we could be seeing some clouds rolling their way across cape town as well as into port elizabeth but for durban it is going to be a windy day for you at 22 degrees but up here towards harare expect to see plenty of sun in the forecast with attempt there of 27.

insecurity we're talking about people that truly are marching toward starvation if we're not there to help them 2300000 people in this country. by this fall it will be substantially higher 3600000 people because elisi season is going to punish them by early next year we're looking at 5.55.3. 1000000 people just on. what we call our piece a level 3 and 4 crisis emergency phone for security it's not just people living in the rule areas are affected people in towns and cities will also need assistance and drought is not the only problem earlier this year cycle and die hit when the problem sets in the east of the country is an area that usually fertile people

there grow a lot of food but when the rain winds and floods came it destroyed many of the costs making the situation even more serious the government said it's going to buy grain from neighboring countries but aid agencies say even if that grain arrives it still won't be enough. is taking emergency measures to try and stop the ebola virus from spreading across the border from the democratic republic of congo since the latest outbreak was discovered in the d r c a year ago the disease has killed at least 1800 people health ministers of both countries have to agree on an action plan stephanie tucker reports in the rwandan border city. of the law of gravity this movement of people across the border in east africa has become an international concern especially here in new wanda after cases of the bowler were confirmed in the nearby city of goma in the democratic republic of congo it's prompted a senior level meeting between d.r. c n rwandan officials here in the seine together with the world health organization

. but this disease doesn't know borders it doesn't need to present itself to immigration to get a visa so if it crosses it will cross a very quickly we're told around 60000 people cross this border every day so what did this meeting achieve with the i agreed to you know accept. to go to d.n.c. on the work with the team and i think this is really a very important. group to improve the border crossing. point of you know scaling this is extremely important in terms of. health checks of increased here but checking all of these people is a real challenge trade is one of the reasons why this border is so busy it's mostly foods that cross it's a constant back and forth now it's important to both rwanda and also the d r c which is why many people will tell you it's one of the main reasons that despite

the threat of a boat nobody wants to see this border closed. it's not just rwanda that is concerned about the movement of people uganda 2. in june 3 people in western uganda tested positive for the virus the 1st cross border cases in the south break there been no further cases reported thanks in part to its containment efforts but uganda is now testing a new vaccine one that could vaccinate a larger percentage of the population than the one currently being used in the d.r. see now that this study is really important for uganda a switch any given i look at and you have to any idea you haven't had it but i breaks in this country so i think this study is important in that it to help us in the room into what seems the future used to prevent it but for now doctors without borders says this outbreak is not under control. has been declared an international public health so everyone should be concerned if we have course under one dance.

because some of those. kinds of hunts to prevent. what is to be spread to one but to other countries that's when. the d.r.s. he's been bashing the democrats for more than a year the fear now that it could spread further stephanie decker al-jazeera on the rwanda border the president of honduras is under pressure from protesters to resign juan orlando hernandez denies accepting bribes from illegal drug gangs to windpower 6 years ago reports. that he spied to gas protesters but it didn't stop them from marching in the thousands who would congress in the honduran capital to goose the. thank you president 109 days of ruction county non-doing his resignation the president denies the corruption claims several people were injured in the protests by

a coalition of trade unionists and public workers some business. says it was set on fire. the people want this narco dictator out of the presidency we don't want him can't they understand it out with one orlando hernandez is the only slogan i can tell you out with him. ever was we're sick of this one interest we have nothing to eat at home to all of honduras throughout the country so that the government feels the pressure for that man to get out of power last week u.s. federal prosecutors accuse anon does of receiving $1500000.00 from illegal drug traffickers in exchange for protection and funding his election campaign in 2035 these accusations are false and made up by a drug trafficker called alexander they want revenge against the only president who's done what he's needed to be trying to stop us in our fight against drug trafficking but we're not going to stop. the conservative leader has enjoyed

a good relationship with the u.s. government donald trump backed him in the disputed 2017 reelection and is approved him for stemming the flow of migrants and illegal drugs to the u.s. but the opposition disagrees we were so i don't buy this we live in a country that is a narco state where the supreme court of justice the public ministry congress and the armed forces are used for drugs to cross the border drugs have been crossing through one door since 2000 to 17 years of it 17 years with money being handed to politicians. the drugs rule means honduras has one of the highest murder rates in the world are the crimes coupled with poverty and corruption is driving the need to escape hundreds of hondurans attempt to migrate to the united states every day so to hide out. supporters of one as well as governments have taken to the streets to protest new u.s. sanctions the united states says the new measures will cut off funding for

president nicolas maduro his vice president is denouncing the freezing of assets as a global threat and a u.s. attack on private property to risible is joining us from. terrorism just tell us where you are and what you've been seeing. over here in the center of that i can the government has called on its orders to gather here to denounce what they say would look a bit of this country by the united states we've been talking to some people what they're basically telling us is that they are denouncing the united states interference in basement and also afraid about what will happen to their every day life some of those are the biggest that venezuela that's probably the province needs to be solved. lucian whitney. and how will we have all the others who say that they were brought here and forced to come by their ministries that they work

in that they're afraid to. their job let's not forget what happened on monday donald trump signed an executive order that bans u.s. companies from doing this mission with minutes away now since 2 venezuelan assets in the united states threaten countries like china and russia from doing business in this country this is something that will certainly complicate but it's way less fun to me as already very very fragile economy by proof placement among other things but in spite of this we heard venezuelan authorities denouncing what's happening at the united nations among other things that they're trying to buy now turn to find ways of how to overcome the difficulties that this new sanctions will generate in the economy in spite of the car entice the nation that we see in the west with its will if it is going to continue to have the support of countries like russia and china and it is the precedent for example of the nonaligned movement that is composed of a $120.00 countries rather how much pressure though. is this putting on the

maduro government. well as i said before mostly because of the economic crisis that this country is suffering hyperinflation the dollar a situation in front of me this days people are basically using us no tourists because there is no money around in order to be able to buy some basic items this is generated shortages exclude of medicines among other things and that's why you see the wall of my ego has dropped many of the people we have spoken to here are saying that they saw charges for many many years that they later will see what if people ask how to do the right now they cannot make and the only way that they're making it to the end of the month because of the millions of women for them that have left this country they're sending millions of dollars to help those who are leaving here and that's what is keeping them alive and allowing them to make ends meet so most definitely support for nicole last mughal has dropped and on the other

hand is the opposition. one way the president of the national assembly that continues to challenge the government currently does that tail end work has stopped to think that you have been an evil in a way to. get me. out of office which is what he promised back in january when he decided to declare himself into every president of venezuela ok a tear is about thank you so as you're hearing venezuelans are desperate to escape the collapsing economy poverty and shortages were 4000000 people having left in recent years and now colombia is giving passports 224000 undocumented children born to venezuela migrants the government says it's a humanitarian measure. has more from. 90 but the romero was 7 months into a high risk pregnancy when she fled to colombia lack of medicine and a crumbling health system meant she wasn't getting any care in business where her son neighbor was born prematurely and without being officially registered wasn't
