12:00 am
from pakistan visited washington that trump would. offer to mediate the dispute between india and pakistan which of course goes against a very very well settled. position of india is that this is firstly a domestic and secondly a bilateral issue. so one of the things that we have seen more recently is that. the u.s. strained relationship to pakistan and an increasingly warm relationship to india has reversed during the trumpet ministration especially since donald trump has been moving towards. greater trade tariff and trade barriers with india more recently so i don't expect that that is actually going to change the dynamic of the issue but it does actually complicate or muddy the dynamics that had been settled.
12:01 am
especially during the later obama years ok what does that leave russian and chinese influence. well china is deeply deeply involved in the issue because china as your correspondent was saying is indeed the 3rd party and there's an area of the former princely state of german kashmir that is now held by china called the outside chin and china has deep strategic interests in the region because of unsettled border questions with india in the himalayas both on the east and in the west in kashmir. at the same time china has some limitations in terms of challenging the domestic politics of other countries because it has a very strong sovereignty norm and really rejects criticisms of other countries about the treatment of minorities in areas like to batten sinchon
12:02 am
sinchon so there is with china i think a little bit of. choice to move it towards more neutral international fora like the un security council which is in fact what pakistan is doing to with russia it's not as clear because i think russia for a long time had a very close relationship to india that is getting more complicated now because of both dynamics to do with the afghan conflict and in terms of. a complicated series of trade trade an arms deals but i think that russia's probably going to stay more on the sidelines than china on this issue. it's also interesting that the tali bali's saying it is saying to both sides hey calm down based on our experiences you don't want a conflict over this what do you read into the sort of evolving taliban position. i
12:03 am
found it was an incredible position and in fact it's it is quite correct i mean inflaming these these issues especially by. robbing the dignity of sort of a national minority now of course the taleban themselves are not necessarily known for respecting minorities within their own within the areas of under its own control but this does point to this bigger dynamic that the os gun peace process has been going at pace and pakistan has been a major player in terms of trying to establish some sort of detente between the united states at least and the afghan taliban this specially with their colors ods efforts and there is a certain sense that this movement in kashmir is a way of moving international attention away from the settled.
12:04 am
afghanistan. thank you so much for your analysis on that one thing none the similar thank you very much now one of the world's largest religious gatherings and the sacred site for muslims is on the way close to 2000000 of them have started that annual hajj pilgrimage to mecca a 5 day ritual in saudi arabia is a chance for muslims to seek redemption as well as to forgive and be forgiven some authorities in jerusalem a calling for the closure of the city's mosques on sunday and a mass fred to be held at the luxor instead how to force it has more from west jerusalem. well islamic work theo 40 which runs the locks a mosque compound in accordance with the jordanian government it has decided to close all mosques in the local area calling on people instead to come to a lock set itself and the surrounding area to carry out the prayers the main
12:05 am
prayers for eat have been delayed from sunrise to the 2nd pres of the day at 730 local time in the morning presumably to maximize the number of people who can attend them and also that coincides with the time that usually the site would be open from the other side to non muslims now there are right wing and religious nationalist jewish groups that are calling for access on this day despite the fact it's a major it was them 1st or because it also falls on the same day that jews mark tisha of that as a commemoration of the falling of the 1st and 2nd temples and the jewish exile the background to this is that there has been a wide ranging political effort by the right wing in israel and the religious nationalists to get more access to x. the mosque compound site known as the temple mount to jews a lot of what happens next will depend on the actions of israeli security forces and police there has been a precedent going back many years that normal things are not allowed access on a major it was them festival day but that president was broken earlier this year in
12:06 am
june the end of ramadan coincided with a jerusalem day which is when jews and israelis mark the seizure of east jerusalem by israeli forces in 1967 there were limited scale knishes at the site as a result of the police decision then to allow jews in on that day a lot now depends in terms of how confrontational this sunday becomes a lot now depends on the actions of israeli security forces. well the whole area is central to the israeli palestinian conflict and a constant flashpoint as both sides lay claim to it jews refer to it as temple mount which is built on top of the compounds western wall is the holiest site where jews can pray the compound in occupied east jerusalem houses the dome of the rock and the locks a mosque which represents the 3rd holiest site in. jordan holds custody in ship of the luxor mask but its role has been challenged repeatedly plenty more still ahead
12:07 am
on the news hour including a binge in troubled waters we reports from the czar's these resorts in tunisia where tragedy is playing out for migrants. on his way home a canadian held fate months in the syrian president and tiger woods challenge at the northern trust comes to an end and i'll be here to explain why. hong kong's chief executive says she's making no concessions to protest and is accusing them of reckless behavior carry land spoke to the media as a massive thing began at hong kong airport the 2nd in a month thousands of spelling out their anti-government message to passengers flying in protesters want to shelve the extradition law to me entirely scrapped hong kong's leader to quit they're also demanding an independent inquiry into
12:08 am
alleged police brutality they did not mind destroying hong kong economy they have no stake in the society which so many people have helped to build. and that that's why they resort to all this violence and obstructions causing huge damage so economy and sort of daily life off of 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 from a bride is following the airport protests. incredible scenes here this friday evening at hong kong's international airport where this protest is 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.
12:09 am
with a large section in between and all of these areas are now completely filled with mainly you 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 on 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
12:10 am
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 powerpoint 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 there you can do as well as getting your duty free is to write a message on a post it note and slap it on a student. now the white house is hosting technology company executives to discuss the rise of online extremism the meetings in response to saturday's shooting paso
12:11 am
that killed 22 people the gunman announced his attack on an anonymous message board by decrying what he called the hispanic invasion of texas in march 51 worshipers were killed in attacks on 2 mosques in new zealand facebook streamed the shootings live before the signal was eventually cut after widespread criticism of its slow response facebook says it removed one and a half 1000000 copies of the attack from its site or before he started shooting the alleged gunman posted a 74 page document denouncing muslims and immigrants our white house correspondent kimberly held joins us now live with the latest on that meetings are how is that meeting shaping up then kimberly. yeah the white house is being very quiet about this meeting i reached out directly to the press office and all that i was told was that this was
12:12 am
a staff led internal meeting the white house is looking for answers from some of the biggest tech companies in the united states and around the world as you point out that this is a response to the oh paso shooting in that racist manifesto that targeted hatred towards hispanics it was posted on online message forum but not so quick the dental e also hosted in advance of other shootings similar type messages not just the one the mosque shooting in new zealand but also a synagogue shooting in california so the white house recognizes that there is a need to try and do something but it isn't exactly sure how so part of the discussion we under sketch stand that will be taking place today is how to keep in place the free speech that the united states constitution. make sure is something that is guaranteed to all citizens but at the same time how is there no megaphone given if you will to hate these are the questions that they're trying to address or
12:13 am
i can believe how could that from washington d.c. thanks for the all hands jack option lou is senior director of the counter extremism project he joins us by skype from intel in turkey good to have you with us is the or let me put the question this way what can or should executives from the online world do to try and deny a space to extremist ideology. unfortunately thank you for having me unfortunately this is one of the typical patents that they have or if the incident after which and only after which companies from is of course to get much better than they used to be before the problem is at the one hand of course to find the one needing they need a stack that would be the board that predicted the band or the christchurch guy or any and it's not me that's true for most of his. ready violent threats right
12:14 am
online the bigger problem however and the basis for finding that more needless is to attack the eco system and the tech to jump in and i mean it's been more than one of the just to find the needle in the haystack cold to deny the sort of space in the oxygen that allows a needle to burn down the whole haystack. that is exactly the basic issue that we've been grappling with the tech companies for at least the last $6.00 to $7.00 yes and it's just astonishing in the context of project who has been very vocal about what could be done and what technology could use to situations that are still very beginning have made progress but the tech companies as far as islamist terrorism it's not mixtape. that they sped off the enormous public pressure and inscribe it's now working through all right being extremes how about this
12:15 am
problem is not going to be solved if you go an incident by incident ideology ideology. thing it may be a left wing terrorism and then you have to tackle this again then needs to be at basic regulatory framework in our opinion that regulates that take industry and their models minimal compliance have been they offering services to the world it's very much like the financials to the office of the world and therefore have to fulfill that promise lines of requirements know your customer proceed to diligence procedures to make sure that they will not get misused for financing of financing or liberates therefore busy be arguing that some behind has come to tackle this issue by a compliance system instituted by governments on of course maintaining free speech but also requiring these companies in general to tackle extremism and not ideology
12:16 am
by view on the incident by incident well the you know might be a very sensible way to approach this and not as you said try and tackle this ideology by on the old you but does it overlook the practicality and the politics at play for example we're talking now about the trumpet ministration sitting down with online execs is trying to figure out something to this and yet it was reported in april the 2nd. of this year that the d.h. has admitted it's restructured the very unit that followed domestic terrorism that raises some question about the role that politics can play from government to government administration to administration for the appetite about tackling one ideology versus another does not. one could make that point but if you put a. regulatory framework in place this will try and send up and said look it's not that right think terrorism just to give you an example but i think terrorism
12:17 am
requires money right things 3 minutes fly on airplanes for this you have no fly list for this you have to comply and. this is front pending any administration wants don't go for not blinded you on the north line in a very similar fashion it would be wonderful to have something like this implemented by the tech companies it's unacceptable. you know be on the one hand of course not simply do not want to have violent extremists ordering airplanes opening bank accounts but perfectly happy for them perhaps facebook account e-mail account to do that counts not only spreading that the all the g.'s but also organizing themselves via the financing on the fly and simon singh sharing instructional materials on how to make bombs on how to conduct attacks on how to obtain better than by other services this is a peek gaping security full that could be filled with very few. and if a government with a strong record on freedom of speech and the 1st amendment but the u.s.
12:18 am
government would go ahead in the way that european union already is but drawing up a directive to tackle online on things and then i think this would be a beacon all the world and would prevent the dictatorship to put censorship rules in place for completely different purposes to have. tools which is strictly more necessary then a tool regulatory framework that u.s. government or the european your union develops. thank you so much feel schools should look. so i had on al jazeera the struggle for medicine turns to desperation as the russian government arrests people for buying drugs illegally online there's a strain in legend is making a return to cricket details coming up in sports. hello

discussions police in cape town has struggled to looking steadily gang violence examining the headlines now under president putin russia is making a push to engage explore an abundance of world class programming designed to inform motivate and inspire me but. it's almost 2nd nature and i also know when they see the world from a different perspective on al-jazeera. come back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap all have lost. thousands rally in pakistan to protest india's crackdown on kashmir the indian administers region is
12:22 am
under lockdown but we're getting reports of police using live fire and tear gas on large scale demonstrations in srinagar. hong kong's chief executive kerry is warning protesters of causing huge damage to the city's economy says the rallies could hit business like a tsunami. the start of the holiday and sunday is a potential flashpoint between muslims and jews in occupied east jerusalem islam. religious authority which oversees sites in jerusalem is calling for the closure of the city's mosques and for a mass prayer to be held instead. a bahraini activist says he feared being thrown from the roof of his country's embassy in london during a protest in july mohammed scaled the roof of the gulf states embassy to protest
12:23 am
against the exit to sions of 2 bahraini activists barnsley reports from london. in the dead of night mussa mohammed used the cover of scaffolding to gain access to the roof of the embassy of bahrain once there he unfurls his banner i'm risking my life to save 2 men about to be executed in the next few hours it reads we did many protests we do send them letters for their human rights organization under you and as well it doesn't stop but i feel in my in my heart there's something i can do to save their lives that's why i went to the top of line embassy shortly afterwards the police arrived and for a good 10 minutes nothing much happens as they try to work out how to handle the situation on the roof mr mohammad appears relaxed sipping from a water bottle occasionally calling on the british prime minister to call the king of bahrain to the country to respect human rights was. a
12:24 am
god was but suddenly everything changes a figure appears on the roof next to the protester the police response alters dramatically. we. look at it again it's at this point that mr mohammed says he was beaten with a stick and almost forced off the roof was. there mr mohammed can be seen being pulled from the ledge to the ground c during this time he says he was threatened with being beaten to death we want to pull from here as a sheep and no one is going to help you here even though your cable is their 1st even their thanks was done and the 2nd time they said even that wouldn't you came in they can't they can't help you no one can come to ours here and there in our land and so you were quite clear that you thought that they were going to beat you to death inside the embassy yes it's was
12:25 am
a clear and they say this is well certainly his friends filming it all from the ground a terrified. in the police to do something officers forced to push them back. you are going to. find out. within a minute or 2 the fire service has forced the doors of the embassy and offices go in in some numbers the embassy has said it regards mr mohammed's protest as being in support of what it describes as terrorists and in the end what happened on the roof is their word against his but what was extraordinary was the police response because officers plainly were so concerned about mr mohammed safety that they had no compunction in breaking every rule in the diplomatic handbook on ordering the forcing of the doors of the embassy of another country mr mohammed says when the embassy staff realized the police were in the building their attitude changed in telling their man who told them. the break in the door and before the before
12:26 am
now and that's when they stopped attacking you is it yes he told them don't beat him as for the 2 men mr mohammed was protesting for their executions went ahead as planned amid allegations that they'd been tortured in jail and in london an indication of how concerned the police are about what might happen to protesters inside the walls of the embassies of gulf states. al jazeera. more than a 100 people have died this year trying to cross the mediterranean in the last 2 months alone dozens of bodies of washed up on to his years tourist beaches david chaytor has been to the resort city of seas which is now the new frontline in the migration crisis. the on the horizon of these warm waters lapping the shore of sars this tragedy is playing out on time and the bodies of its
12:27 am
victims to these tourist be shoes. more than 70 migrants drowned last man. when their inflatable raft sank in rough weather. the director of the red crescent to help pull them out of the water told me the corpses were floating in from every direction or not. saving these people and even returning them to a prison in d.b.f. is better than letting them die like that in huge numbers of young people pregnant women and babies you see the northern european countries that we are the heavy responsibility it's a crime that all this garbage heap outside zazi this is where the dead bodies used to be dumped the red crescent has now ribera them nearby but these graves share the same ground as the city's rubbish. we spoke to a young man who nearly ended up here himself. in the living has left libya in small boat into the deep sea the boat started to shake until it's capsized in this moment
12:28 am
so i look at what i did and now i remember what happened i feel sick mohammed is taking refuge at the red crescent center outside zazi this other survivors like him are still struggling to cope with the terror of danger would wondering if they ever dare to go through it all again to reach europe a new cemetery is being built here it already contains the bodies of $71.00 people that were washed ashore on the city beaches last month. each of these graves have been numbered in the d.n.a. sample has been taken from each one of the victims the record of those is being held at the local hospital already the director of the red crescent is receiving inquiries from all over the south held region and even from morocco about who might be lying here these waters are meant to be a source of fun and pleasure but the death toll is rising all the time and that's

12:30 am
a canadian national who was being held in syria the one of the top security officials in lebanon about for him was the man involved in this mediation effort he said that the canadian national mr baxter was detained last year for violating laws in syria they really didn't divulge much details concerning the circumstances of his detention this is not he's not the 1st foreign national to be released in the past month a few weeks ago an american national was released about him himself playing a crucial role now he's calling this a humanitarian gesture but many here believe that these are messages messages that the syrian government wants to give to the west as it tries to regain legitimacy as it tries to end sanctions at the end of the day these 2 these 2 foreign nationals who were held and in syrian jails are not among the high profile people who went missing and believed to be held by the syrian government so messages possibly from

the syrian government to the west trying to regain lost legitimacy the airman's the rebels say the younger brother of their leader. has been killed should a statement denouncing the death of a brahim by the sea but they didn't specify the cause they're blaming agents of what they say is the u.s. israeli saudi coalition we were fighting intensifies in the south between government forces and separatists backed by the united arab emirates at least a dozen people have been killed since fighting broke out in aden on wednesday. as more. this is a ration in aden is a very dangerous for all the civilians there many families are still trapped and living between the fighting groups the transitional council's security forces continue their battles in the days to populate areas many appears have been issued

12:34 am
take to the streets again on saturday the foreign ministry now blames the united states embassy of inviting people to these protests by all the united states embassy sas that they just have put on a warning on their website telling people to avoid the area but this is all seen in the light of a new narrative which is building up here by the government making people clear that this is a foreign intervention this is not russian thing it doesn't show that russians are unhappy but it's foreign countries who are interfering in russian politics right now in the same delighted to stay duma has called for an emergency session discussing what they call election interference by 3 organizations foreign organizations and also the german channel deutsche welle has been blamed for supporting these protests and this all comes after a crackdown which has been intensifying in this last week with a lot of people detained 11. people are facing serious criminal charges for what
