a man out to sara. risk out his ak is an independent research and he joins us live by skype from the capital of kyrgyzstan thanks for being with us so can you tell us a bit more about what they originally raided weigel went so wrong well he was crushed up so badly and we ended up as a disaster by the director or chief of the security service cuts and as a result. there is a casualty one serviceman was killed and the president himself ex-president he confessed to a surety that he was the only want was shooting in his compound and now he's facing it facing a murder charge on top of the us so what what what will happen to him now i mean it is as if i said met a child what what where is he what what's happening with em. well they took him

away and police and those states security service have him in custody as of this evening. and there was a 2nd attempt to. bring him in today in the evening beginning often on. there were a number of clashes around his compound today outside of the city but he decided to surrender and along with him the police took away to a 3 more of his. supporters and now it is believed that he is in the. facility of the state security service. after that there was a. march of his supporters down to the city. number of clashes have been reported but by midnight police was able to control the situation to tell us a little bit about the background has made regionally he was seen as the as they at

the end of the current president i should say was seen as as a time i have spanned success why did they fall outside badly well it's because former president was attempting to have an influence in the policy and policy of the incoming president. and as a result the incoming president and the former president they had a they ended up with having feud. that has been going on for more than a year now. so and this was not a surprise for many the only surprise was that. this special operation to capture the ex-president was mismanaged so badly and many thought that it will go up to the fall and something would probably we're expecting that. the former president will be brought in for questioning but the it happened in

august and there's a still a tourist season in this country and many euro were outraged because this operation was a disaster a complete disaster and we saw at looking at your resume some pictures of those clashes that you were talking about aside from from what's been happening is that it directly after this event do you think that the the instability will continue and you think it'll be a contained incident but i think the instability you will be contained and. there had one thing one has to be mentioned that the former president is not widely popular after high profile corruption cases that his name is allegedly. got mixed up with and his loyalists are you know on trial at the moment there's a huge huge there's been huge media coverage of that regarding these trucks and

cars so and. coupled with what happened last night when she confessed to killing over servicemen this has created a lot of outrage in this country and the public is not favoring this former president and i don't think you'll be able to gather more support at risk and he said 2nd thank you very much indeed for sharing your analysis likewise thanks. still ahead on the al-jazeera news our 100 to arrested in a major crackdown on immigration across the u.s. state of mississippi. and he's 29 people are killed by dangling a fever in bangladesh we'll tell you why i climate change is partly to blame. sport we have the nations from transfer deadline day in england as one of the most feared strikers is on the move.

illegal immigration a focal point for his administration during live via skype is. the mayor of jackson mississippi thank you very much indeed for joining us on our how do you view these raids. thank you laura for having me i am i see these right as a gross display of humanity. taking people stripping them from their families while they're at work for children to have returned back home after their 1st day of school to an environment where they didn't know where their parents are is a violation of human rights in my estimation i mean the government would all get in forcing the lawyers and even the local politicians have on hand that that's what's happening then you know one of them is saying we're nation of laws and when you don't have those you have chaos what do you say to that and i would say especially in mississippi we remember a time where the laws reflected that you could treat people in the very same way

based on the color of their skin that people were excluded from access to certain areas of public space where people were able to to be treated in such an ill manner in the same respect we certainly would argue that the jim crow laws were sufficient today simply because the law does not speak to the fact that it is still a violation of human rights this isn't a partisan issue it's not about democrat or republican it's about whether we have a soul as a nation in any time when you displace children from their parents without due process without any entailed as to whether some of those people actually did have documentation about the people at least today they were simply arresting people because of the color of their skin tell me what do you encouraging people to do that in mississippi off to these things that these kinds of aid to me and even suggesting that people should take refuge in churches that's still what you're

suggesting i have suggested that the church be a place for people in need i think that we can all agree that that is the premise by behind which most churches have been established faith institutions and so i act then to do so many of those decisions have a spa. and it is their call and we will continue to do that we see these raids as not being supportive of any efforts to protect our community in fact they achieve the opposite people feel that they are targeted when people feel that they can't access the same institutions the same methods of protection that we all look to to protect us in in certain circumstances they find a means of protecting themselves and that leaves us all less less safe in the end result would you say that the atmosphere has changed since the shootings last weekend until. i think that the fact that these raids could take place at the same time that donald trump was speaking you know passed on. and it

demonstrates a lack of sincerity it shows him as being disingenuous in terms of trying to be to reconcile or to to have a sense of. camaraderie and and love demonstrated across people of different races and stand further intensifies further fuels the playing of this harmony. that we've seen in this nation. thank you very much indeed for talking to us. thank you very much a matter of jackson mississippi time thank you the number of migrants waiting for asylum that the us mexico border has said 40000 on home one has more from mexico city. there's been a dramatic increase in the number of migrants on the mexican side of the us mexico

border these most of them on actually mexicans they're people from central america honduras guatemala el salvador and people from even further away african countries particularly cameroon that have gone up this route trying to get to the united states now one reason for that dramatic increase is a deal between mexico and the united states that really came into force at the start of this year and under that deal people that passed into the united states on documented and asked for asylum in that country were put back into mexico while they waited for that process to play out and while they waited for their appointments and the hearings for that a saw in process now those appointments can be months apart so meanwhile those people are stuck in limbo and really there isn't a lot for them to do here on the mexican side of the border the mets can government did say that it was going to provide tens of thousands of jobs health care

schooling for the children but that just hasn't materialized and we're now 8 months into that process and into that deal so those people many of them we're hearing deciding simply to go back to their home loans if those home loans are in central america the problem is that there they face of course the poverty that they fled from or even worse for many of them for it's from organized crime and the cartels the gangs really is especially in places like honduras and el salvador make many people's life a misery. china surprised the stock market by announcing better than expected trade figures global exports for july saw a 3.3 percent rise on the same time last year that beat an expected 2 percent decline but imports remain weak and could get worse because of the escalating trade war with the u.s. . of us has raised its travel warning for hong kong as more large scale

political prosecution thousands of lawyers staged a protest how they ask can the department of justice immediately charge the protesters while the suspected triad gang members filmed beating up protestors last month still haven't been charged the public was just the it's. not the us this. was the department of justice says it's above any political interference but the suspicion is it's fast tracking the prosecution of people on rioting charges to keep a lid on the violence although for many that does nothing to resolve the underlying problems here. like trying to buy an apartment in the world's most expensive property market working in financial services will laois relatively lucky and could one day by his own home many he went to college with can't they don't and that much

so in that case it might take. decades for them to save up of the deposit for the lump sum that you pay for for for the flat for him and the hundreds of thousands who've been protesting peacefully there's the deeper discontent with inequality and the political system which doesn't offer the true democracy to address it we're we've been driving people like myself or you know my peers taking it to the streets and protesting against the government is is that the fact that we see not just the difficulty but the fact that we see you know the growing imbalance in the system it's a system under increasing strain not sure how many more weekend up here bulls can bear mcbride al-jazeera hong kong. i mean calls for a boycott of a taiwanese bubble tea brand after it aired solidarity with produce.
