from praying bear. could there be a snap election in italy the country's parliament is set to hold a no confidence vote on its near collapse government. and its board not shot by tiger woods but find out why he had a day to forget and new jersey who will have that. on kong's chief executive kerry lam says she won't make any concessions as the weekend of new protests against her government began she spoke as a mass sit in got underway at airport these are live pictures the sit in still going on thousands of occupied the arrivals area of the main terminal to take their message to those flying in it's the 2nd time they've occupied the airport and less than a month are testers wanted and dependent and korean to alleged police brutality that complete withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill and the resignation resignation that is a carry land again lamb he said is the chief executive she's accuse the protesters

of being reckless they did not mind destroying hong kong's economy they have no stake in the society which so many people have helped to build and that that's why they resort to old is. and to obstruction is causing huge damage to economy and sort of daily life all over people so i am indeed very worried about this situation and that's why i appeal for calm calmness and rationality to help us to overcome this situation robin pride has more now from hong kong's airport. incredible scenes here this friday evening at hong kong's international airport where this protest suddenly swelling in numbers and now completely taking over the arrivals hall at the this ad terminal if i can just ask paul to just give us a bit of a top shot here there are 2 main arrival halls here in the terminal a and b.

with a large section in between and all of these areas are now completely filled with mainly 2 years but also older protesters many of them wearing masks this nobody has given any permission for this protest to happen but you are simply not going to stop thousands of people from coming into the terminal and sitting down on the floor and that's what's taken place and the whole idea of this is to educate people arriving off flights about what this whole extradition controversy is about so people are meeting the arrivals off the planes giving them leaflets and all kinds of different languages talking about free hong kong talking about police terrorism here at sacha largely there has been a good response it has to be said good natured response from new arrivals somebody will demand especially perhaps amongst mainland mainland chinese visitors as

people arrive here on the planes that they are being given all of these leaflets you have other people walking around with their laptops open explaining in different languages on power point presentations what this is all about excuse me welcome to hong kong and over here we have one of these ubiquitous pop up lenin walls as they are known that we've seen these all around hong kong people start putting post it notes with all sorts of political messages on them here at the airports because they don't want to overstay their welcome they have a human pop up lenin wall so where you are right off your flight from wherever you come this friday evening one of the 1st. things that you can do as well as getting your duty free is to write a message on a post that note the students but when 2000000 muslims are estimated to have started their annual hodge pilgrimage to mecca and saudi arabia a 5 day event it's a chance for muslims to seek redemption and to forgive and be forgiven for muslims it's considered the peak of spirituality the start of the holiday on sunday as

a potential flashpoint between muslims and jews in occupied east jerusalem israeli police are warning they may prevent muslims from praying in the oxe a mosque compound on sunday which that already which oversees sites in jerusalem is calling for the closure of the city's mosques and a mass prayer is held at the instead of the whole area is central to the israeli palestinian conflict and a constant flashpoint as both sides lay claim to jews supported as temple mount which is built on top of the compound western wall is the holiest site in judaism and is the place for jews turned her in prayer a compound located in occupied east jerusalem houses the dome of the rock and the mosque which represents the 3rd holiest site and islam jordan holds custodianship a mosque but its role has been challenge repeatedly there foster is live for us and less true islam so what's going on there. well yes the islamic walk which operates

and runs the mosque compound along with the jordanian government has announced a couple things firstly saying that it is not there that is closing or is calling on all the mosques in the local area to close to ensure that as many people as possible on sunday come to our locks itself and the area surrounding it to pray they have also delayed the main pres usually that would take place at dawn they called them to be the 2nd pres of the day at $730.00 local time to allow for more people to come and also presumably to coincide with the time that usually the compound would be open from the other side to non muslims now there are jewish right wing and religious nationalist groups who are calling for access on busy this day despite the fact it's a major muslim holiday because it also coincides with a day the jews mark of which is when they commemorate the destructions of the 1st and 2nd temples the jewish exile and these groups are saying that despite the fact

that it's a muslim holiday it's also an important jewish event and that they should be allowed in now this the background who is an increasing amount of pressure from such groups to get more and more access to iraq so they are not allowed to prey on the site but sometimes there is surreptitious praying that goes on and that can lead to tensions on the site a lot depends on how the police handle this the precedent going back many years as it is ready for these do not allow access to non muslims on major muslim festivals but that president was broken earlier this summer in june of the last days of ramadan coincided with a day that jews and israelis mark as jerusalem day commemorating the 1967 seizure of east jerusalem by israeli forces unusually police did allow jews access to the site on that day and there were limited scale missions police say that chaz and stones were thrown at them. gas and rubber bullets were fired in response so there

is certainly the potential for some kind of confrontation on sunday look depends on how the israeli security forces play out the situation all right harry fawcett live in west jerusalem thank you humans who the rebels say the younger brother of the leader of the has been killed issued a statement announcing the death of abraham. but they won't say how he died they're blaming agents of what they say is a u.s. israeli saudi coalition and fears of a new battlefront and yemen's conflict are growing amid fighting in the south between government forces and separate is backed by the united arab emirates orders have been fired and tanks are on the streets of aden as battles spread towards the airport at least a dozen people have been killed since fighting broke out on wednesday and her schapelle has more. a rift continues to grow between the local forces of the saudi u.a.e. coalition after dozens of their soldiers were killed in a hoot the attack last week southern separatists blamed the internationally

they are on the same side in terms of fighting the host the or annoying northern opponent out however in reality they have not been getting along for months and the southern separate us forces especially represented in the southern transitional council have called repeatedly to secession and feel like the time is ideal to self-determination and to pursue it now so it seems that although they're fighting against a common enemy the time has come where differences amongst them are more important than just fighting that enemy. the area where the fighting is taking place is the highest point in the city and near the presidential palace and even though the building is largely empty it's still considered the seat of government without a resolution to their longstanding demands so there is separatists may decide to try and take their seat at the negotiating table if one isn't given to them and schapelle. has more from santa. this is the ration in

aden is a very dangerous for all the civilians there many families are still trapped. living between the fighting groups the transitional council's security forces continue their battles in the days to populated areas many appeals have been issued by civilians will try between booth while fighting the i've called for for opening access to the to these people to get out of the cities all especially the districts where the 1st comforter issues are taken place which are in the hallmarks of an creator the various confrontations which have started only around the presidential palace now it has extended out throughout the city there were also the presidential guards also do being deployed to. to fight with the

a safe zone in northern syria negotiations between turkey and the united states have been intense in recent days plans to create the safe so a tentative largely because of a fundamental difference of opinion over the why p.g. viewed very much in turkey as a terrorist organization a threat to national security but seen by the united states as allies in the fight against isis or could this in some way soften the stance between turkey and the white b.g. all of that is unclear russia's government has the kids the u.s. embassy in moscow of meddling in its internal affairs says the american embassy published a map on social media with the route of an unauthorized protest in the capital last week the russian ministry of foreign affairs has summoned his senior u.s. diplomat over that post said barzan has more now from moscow. well this can be seen as a new phase in this immense crackdown that's been going on against the protest movement

officials said steps were taken to make sure that children of those arrested were safe but this provoked outrage among some and we are here today to thank you but standing with up in this question again to no one who will do just that were available but for all you know it children went over to solution in this attempt will be called out start going to continue at the same time the buses of men and women workers were being taken to a military base for processing president trump was traveling to texas to pay his respects to victims of a mass shooter who are believed to be targeted for being hispanic despite his attempts to show sympathy for the victims the president has been accused of fostering racism and white supremacy with his words and policies the mare of jackson mississippi has called on churches to provide safe haven for the immigrants still facing deportation we see these raids not being any effort to protect our back the cheap the opposite you know they are targeted you know that they can't

access the same institutions the same methods of protection that we all look to. move that will put him at odds with the republican party and pit immigrant advocates against federal officials intent on aggressively enforcing the law kristen salumi al jazeera. now to the race to replace donald trump the democratic party's front runner is joe biden and the career the former u.s. vice president is under scrutiny shipley a criminal justice a law he helped draft 25 years ago is playing for increasing the prison population to the world's highest chair because he reports. darrius perkins was released from prison in early july having served 23 years of a 35 year mandatory minimum sentence for selling crack cocaine in 2018 a new law retroactively reduced such long sentences for crack cocaine offenses will . try to paint of the. whole thing with.

the us has the highest prison population in the world incarceration exploded in the eighty's with the beginning of the so-called war on drugs and because black communities are intensively targeted by law enforcement it was african-americans who were arrested and jailed disproportionately even though white drug use was equal or more than that of blacks joe biden took credit for the $986.00 law that mandated the same sentence for 5 grams of crack possession as 500 grams of cocaine and he followed that with a 994 crime bill which mandated federal mandatory life sentences for repeat drug offenses and encouraged us states to do the same the devastation of african-american communities through the drugs crackdown was apparent yet it rejected recommendations to end the sentencing disparity for crack and ignored calls to focus more on crime prevention than punishment we do everything but hang

people for jaywalking. in this mandatory minimum sentences passed during joe biden's tenure increased the federal prison population by about 800 percent and there's a pretty direct correlation between mandatory minimum sentences and federal prison growth i think the causal link is pretty clear and undeniable in fairness to biden he wasn't alone in advocating harsh sentencing and it was electorally popular but the issue has become controversial in 2019 because he campaigned only his crime legislation until relatively recently despite the obvious social devastation and his recent apologies have been filled with qualifications and he said we're talking about things that happened a long time ago barack obama trusted me and that should be enough reference. darrius is now 46 and adjusting to a world that's changed since he was jailed a 23 but well built.
