however we have something of a wintry blast in the weather across southeastern australia at the moment showers are rattling across victoria southern parts of new south wales through tasmania behind this cold front that blue line on that shot we're looking at some snow as well even at lower levels 700 to 900 meters over the table and says a bit of snow just tucked in melbourne struggles to get to around 11 celsius there on saturday not making it into double figures for hope so showers rattle their way through further west it's a good deal more pleasant 19 celsius to perth on saturday 21 as we go on into sunday similar temperatures into the heart of the country 18 degrees there for alice i fear less cold down into the southeast as we go on through sunday but still

a chance of some snow just around the high ground towards the blue mountain sydney struggles to get to around 15 degrees on the other side of the dates where we got some wet weather some other windy weather also some wintry weather pushing into parts of new zealand particularly over the south out of the fair amounts of cloud coming through here celsius in christchurch there you go there's the snow some wet weather there just continuing across a good part of the north island as well temperatures in oakland. getting up to around 17 degrees. on counting the cost a new world currency to challenge the dollar facebook's global dominance faces challenges well its currency wars china is the one to appreciate is trump runs up the trade wall the economic and environmental costs of sand extract come to make calls on al-jazeera new yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such

an international city they're very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides. welcome back a quick look at the top stories now in the last hour north korea has fired 2 unidentified projectiles the south korean military says the devices were fired into the sea off the north eastern coast. at least a dozen people have been injured and thousands writing against india's crackdown on the kashmir is autonomy he said 5 pellets and take gas to disperse the protesters and the indian and ministered region which remains under a security lockdown more than 20 people have been killed in fighting in the

southern yemeni city of aden violence between government forces backed by a saudi led coalition and a separatist faction backed by the u.a.e. has gone on for 3 days now. when all the stories we're following police say the gunman in saturday's shooting in el paso confessed to the crime off to surrendering and said he had been targeting mexicans illegibly posted a racist and white nationalist document online ahead of the attack which left 22 people dead as go live now to kristen salumi in washington kristen what would we know about the investigation how is that progressing new information is coming out in dribs and drabs small details about what led up to this shooting 21 year old patrick cruciatus apparently surrendered to police when he got out of his vehicle with his hands in the air and then confessed saying i am the shooter later he was taken to police headquarters he was questioned by investigators in there that's where he gave his statement that he admitted that he was in fact targeting mexicans

when he went to this wal-mart in the border town of el paso texas killing 22 people it turns out that 8 of those people were actually from mexico others had his fanuc sounding names dozens more were injured of course he's also been credited with an online rant against hispanics invading the country that was posted it just posted just before this shooting all of that seems to be adding up to a hate crime however so far he has only been charged with a capital murder count but the investigation is ongoing and that hate crime charge could still come it looks increasingly likely and the political fallout from this. well it's interesting you know president tromp has been facing lots of criticism over his language which many consider racist he's been accused of fueling hatred

and extremism something that he has strongly denied and of course he's expressed sympathy for the victims of that shooting what's really interesting is this seems to be moving him in the direction of gun control something that the president who was strongly supported by the national rifle association during his run for president. wasn't willing to do in the past but now the president today said that he does in fact favor what he described as intelligent background checks background checks universal background checks which would be required before purchasing a weapon as a weapon as a way to weed out people who could be a threat particularly people with mental illness is now senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying that he is willing to put this issue front and center when the congress comes back in session after their summer recess this is new movement for the republican party which has been very reluctant to bring up the issue of gun control in the past and for the majority leader now he's also even saying that

he's open to discussing semiautomatic weapons ban whether or not he can get his party to go along with him still remains to be seen that something the republican party has not been willing to support in the past on the issue of background checks poll show that the a majority of americans actually favor this even republicans are ok with universal background checks but that's something the republican party hasn't been willing to do in the past but now with the president and the majority leader weighing in piers like there could be some movement on that front for the 1st time in a long time thank you very much christensen with the latest on this from washington well the internet has long been around for extremists looking to come. gate into a crude the online messaging board chan is believed to have posted a document by the texas gunman showing white supremacist views shortly before saturday's attack well that site has since gone offline and its members have had to

relocate to alternative platforms and encrypted messaging services one of the sites they appear to be moving to is gap web forum was frequented by the alleged shooter in the 2018 pittsburgh synagogue attack on wednesday said it was adding more than 1000 new uses a day facebook now automatically blocks links from the daily storm a white supremacist messaging board that's lodging in deep platforms but it was linked to violence by white nationalists in charlottesville in 2017 this year facebook announced tighter restrictions on its streaming feature off to a gunman in new zealand life filmed an attack on 2 mosques which left 51 people dead well annie kelly is a digital cultures analyst at the university of east anglia and says that to tackle online extremism and white supremacy society needs to address why many young men feeling so alienated. it's one of those problems where it's obviously not a toad loading problem to the question of white supremacist violence. you know the

problem a i would say kind of if we want to tackle it starts at the root cause at the top starts at a society which creates this kind of economic and social structure which creates alienated and disaffected young men who find solace in these sites and slowly become radicalized but in the interim it really does feel wrong that people are making money off of sites that have blood on their hands and simple language it's very rare that someone shows up to the internet with a kind of complete coherent near nazi ideology usually what happens is there is a. there's a conveyor belt effect essentially people will gradually kind of go from one site which is kind of has slightly racist leanings to a kind of more extremist one to a more extremist one and then you end up on openly white supremacist neo nazi boards free speech on the internet is actually something that we really do need to commit ourselves to and that makes this a really did difficult balancing act right i'm not particularly comfortable with

the idea that we should give the government or indeed you know large tech companies even more monitoring powers into our private lives but i do certainly think that these sites will always find a way to exist but at the minute what's happening is they're profiting essentially off the extremism effect that they're creating a political crisis in italy is deepening one of the 2 governing parties is table the motion of no confidence in the prime minister just at the conti deputy prime minister material beanies far rightly party is hoping the move will trigger fresh elections heads of political groups in the senate are due to meet on monday to set a date to hold a no confidence vote salhani saying differences within the ruling coalition can't be mended and the country should face a general election as soon as possible. well also political obstacles in spain where the acting prime minister petro sanchez will hold more talks in a bid to break the deadlock of a forming a new government he says he'll meet with the far left the demos party and others

including kathleen separatists by the end of the month sanchez has twice failed to secure a majority in support of his administration the socialist leader has 6 weeks to be confirmed as prime minister or put forward another candidate for the job failing that a new election will be called for november we lose the ability to. let the end of august we will have an open progressive proposal ready we will discuss with the different political parties that could support the confirmation of the socialist and spain's government we will talk with the national spots party and we will also talk with the customer national forces and logically we will talk with today most to see if we can reach an agreement that forms the government as well pay of the bush economy is contracted for the 1st time in almost 7 years output fell 0.2 percent in the 3 months to june amid rising uncertainties and we can in global growth performance is worse than many economists expected the pound has fallen more than 4 and a half percent against the dollar since the start of july fears the government is

pushing the country towards a no deal at the end of october. well u.s. president donald trump has doubled down on a trade war with china with another round of terror set to be imposed next month but for all the countries the battle dispute has brought new trading benefits one of the biggest winners here is to be mexico explains this and one hour from mexico city. mexico has taken the top spot among the united states is international trading partners according to data from the 1st half of 2019. this potential gain for mexico is the result of a 12 percent drop in imports of chinese goods to the united states as a tariff war between the world's 2 largest economies plays out. uncertainty from international investors over the u.s. china trade conflict however has also rattled markets on august 1st the mexican stock exchange reacted with the worst trading day since the start of the year but

see it is because of these terrorist between the united states and turner that we are seeing this disruption to global financial markets imagine what such a confrontation involving unusual terrorist between the u.s. and mexico would bring this is not good for anyone's. this disruption to global markets has also hit the mexican peso which devalued by 1.57 percent on august 1st . not good for national economy which is only projected to grow by point 2 percent through 2019 is that. this economic equilibrium that mexico appears to have is not solid i would say that the economic situation in mexico is shaky at best or mexico could maintain this balance at least until the end of the year but it depends heavily on the policies pursued by president donald trump. earlier this year mexico voided its own trade with the united states which could have had a devastating effect on the national economy the reaction by global markets to growing tensions between the u.s.

and china puts into question whether mexico really is the clear winner of the ongoing trade war work if there are any real winners at all the dipped in the stock prices also serve as a reminder that the mexican economy is subject to the confidence international investors have in the u.s. china relationship there may be nervousness in the markets but mexican exports the united states are still on the rise as mexico continues to pick up the slack left over from china there is one thing however that could on balance mexico's position the sluggishness of its own economy went up a little just needa mexico city. a family of a 15 year old french irish girl who vanished last weekend after arriving as an eco result just north of the malaysian capital. has made a fresh appeal for help in trying to find her north koreans parents say she is not like other teenagers she has special needs and she does not go anywhere alone a search team of over 200 rescue is a scouring dense rainforest around the resorts and southern mcgarry cymbeline state

recorded voice messages from norah's mother being played across the forest and in an attempt to reach the missing teenager so far police say they have no leads and tracing. islamic authorities in jerusalem of call for all mosques to be closed on sunday the city's religious down its authority is instead calling on palestinians to hold a mass in prayer at the al aqsa mosque request comes after an increase in israeli settlers flooding the site which has religious significance for jews and muslims how a force that has more or less jerusalem. the islamic work feel 40 which runs the locks the 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 our itself and the surrounding area to carry out the prayers the main prayers for eat have been delayed from sunrise to the 2nd pres 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 to shut down 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 thems are not allowed access on a major muslim festival day but that president was broken earlier this year in 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 comforting. this sunday becomes a lot now depends on the actions of israeli security forces and there is much more here al jazeera dot com for all the latest breaking news but also there is plenty of comments and analysis there that takes you behind the headlines stories. just a quick reminder our top stories now north korea has fired 2 unidentified projectiles the south korean military says the devices were fired into the sea off the north eastern coast last week north korean leader kim jong un inspected several missile test launches he says the tests were a warning to the u.s. and south korea over that joint military drills in the past few minutes some more

information on this story the u.s. saying they were aware of reports of this missile launch from north korea the monitoring the situation closely and at least one of the projectiles a suggestion is one of the projectiles that appears to be similar to previous short range missiles that were launched by north korea now thousands of protesters of poured into the streets of indian administered kashmir in a wave of anger that is rooted in unprecedented security lockdown and historic political up here full of the. these the 1st pictures we've seen of the unrest in trying to go where most phones t.v. in the internet have been caught since monday at least a dozen people have been injured in the city as thousands rally against india's crackdown on kashmir as autonomy. more than 20 people have been killed in fighting in the southern yemeni city of aden the violence between government forces backed by a saudi coalition and a separatist faction backed by the way he has gone on for 3 days now. a political

crisis in italy is deepening with one of the 2 governing parties tabling a motion of no confidence in prime minister just epic kaante the deputy prime minister far right party is hoping the move will trigger fresh elections heads of political groups in the senate it used to meet on monday to set a date to hold a no confidence vote. it is not for the interior minister to do so at the time and with political crisis which other institutional actors are involved in his responsibilities as senate made with the league so v.m.e. must explain to the voters reasons why years interrupted the actions of the government the and the family of a 15 year old french irish girl who vanished last weekend after arriving at an eco resort just north of the malaysian capital kuala lumpur has made a fresh appeal for help in finding her north koreans parents say she is not like other teenagers she has special needs and does not go anywhere alone a search team of over $200.00 rescuers are scouring dense rainforest but so far

police are saying they have no leads and tracing. the top stories this hour counting the cost is next. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that matter to you al-jazeera. hello i'm from al santa maria and this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week. on balance it sounds like a solid idea or a new world currency to challenge the dollar given it's backed by facebook well it's just not that simple you look at the challenges the social network faces from

government central banks and data accounting also this week the currency war within the trade war china lets the one depreciate as donald trump slaps paging with the title of currency manipulator brags it also takes another lump out of the pounds and going electric on 2 wheels is this the transport to reduce limbs carbon footprint. the most valuable commodity in the world well for the past 100 years the answer to that question would have been oil or maybe increasingly water but with the likes of amazon google's parent company alphabet and facebook becoming the world's most valuable listed companies big data is now king the rise has been rapidly even regulated scrambling to keep up with the changing environment and now one of those protagonists wants to write another chapter at facebook hoping to introduce a digital currency called leap or perhaps not surprising in the age of bitcoin but given facebook has abused the days or it has on billions of people and it's failed

to curtail the spread of online hate and generally has become a byword for distrust well many in policy circles are opposing the new cryptic. currency because it's also a threat to national economies a facebook currency used by its $2000000000.00 users could effectively create a new world currency a rival for the dollar maybe a yen or the euro and the loss of sovereignty is a huge concern for the likes of france's finance minister bruno the mayor in an interview with c. and b. c. he said quote we cannot accept a new currency having the exact same kind of power without the same kind of rules without the same kind of commitments and without the same kind of obligations. and even u.s. treasury secretary steve has raised the issue of money laundering and funding of terrorism nations are already struggling to get silicon valley to pay its fair share of taxes too but as social add growth slows facebook is now keen to tap into other areas you know revenues from global payments that is remittances electronic

transfers all those little things they will exceed 3 trillion dollars every year but the a 2022 according to mckinsey already person to person payments in china have topped more than 17 trillion dollars this is when you use an app or an online service to transfer money and although facebook will own only one percent of the new currency labor tapping into the global payments market will make it fairy very rich with us now who is the chief markets analyst with think markets and name it's great to have you with us i think just before we get into the real details that stay with the basics the difference between the likes of labor and say bitcoin which most people are well a little more familiar with labor is going to be the fastest manger cryptocurrency bush will be into and used by one major corporate or and prize whereas bet coin has not been introduced by any enterprise or any man it's not controlled by anyone

there's no governing body behind good coin it is completely decentralized and it is driven by the community price and everything with that respect is completely determined by the user id the supply is very much fixed anyway the only element which is which moves the price is in demand one of the most important things you mention there on the bit one side of things is that there's no regulation and that's i guess what people were fans of bitcoin like about it there's never going to be a way to properly regulate this is there and i guess is now controlled by humans. in a and m. or by any set of a bank or a central bank it is a completely decentralized solution for the community for the uses and of course. cannot clamp down we all know they're trying their best to regulate it but everyone

just completely failed to do that so let's think france's finance minister has recently brought up this issue and talked about sovereignty what does he actually mean by that and again is that just well fanciful in the idea of protector and sees as you've just described them. now leg in a day issue of labor as it is just has been ponselle march and it got so much attention because all the central bankers they know one particular element that we work with that we we we want able to regulate or control bitcoin and we don't want the same thing happen paid labor which is correct our currency by the biggest social network and they're that they that they already know that they're find it incredibly difficult to find of regulations which can really surround this social media now because they know big corn has become a major success and it of course is a major threat to central bank is the way that they regulate monetary policy or the

way that they regulate other aspects of their political system so they don't want another was one of the major bitcoin coming into the market and then that means they will complete they will lose the control of all whatever they have in that respect this is perhaps more a sort of social commentary question but the fact that it is facebook you made the point there is this massive social network 2000000000 users the fact that it is facebook behind this is that what's got people worried the fact that people feel facebook can be trusted anymore because of what it's done with users data in the past so when we say people unless you must be very close to these people are we really talking about their regulators right and yes they are concerned about this one that they cannot control because the news media or the way that we see news these days is not the same as it used to be back in old days now it is

more open and it's more transparent there's more element of being real and telling the truth and there's less censorship in this one. i think the regulators wanted to make sure that yes the money laundering systems and everything else stays while in place but hair is a fact dollar is the biggest currency when it comes to money laundering and there's no doubt about that and then you can't even traced is transactions of any comes to anything on a block chain or on it over the respective cryptography such as bitcoin everything is very much traceable you know where the transaction happened if you really wanted to camp and down you can certainly clamp it down everything whatever you want so to answer your question precisely the yes they are concerned regulators arkansas and that ok i mean if facebook is coming up with create a currency it is

a major threat for the us system just a bit more on the back is if you like of labor yes facebook is the name there but there is this 100 member panel there as well which has the likes of visa are on board i guess that's understandable but then you've got the likes of you know the ride sharing apps the in the lifts for example what do they bring to the table as far as currency in banking goes yes like when it comes to the narrative of crypto currency is it adopts ability it's about usability of that that that particular these particular functions becomes very important and this is why face very doesn't really want ok we have to start this particular area and then this is where it's going to be excepted now they want every single person all the different enterprises to be part of the net bag so it's just like them when i have a daughter when i have a pound i can go anywhere and then i can you know say they want to have the same

concept they want to build an entire ecosystem around it and isn't that a good concept in a way you know we're going to be talking about currencies later on this program particularly to do with with china. and the pound as well and the u.s. dollars well the fact that there is all this volatility in the politics plays that role in all of that this idea or at least of a global currency which might be easier to use through facebook. on the face of it maybe it is a good idea innovation is always important for our ecosystem it always helps to make things more efficient so yes it is of significant importance that we should see these kind of innovative ideas this new no way to technologies and currencies coming and merging but yes. there shouldn't be a wild wild west when it comes to that the should some regulation make the entire regulator framework even more better rather than just going in a completely new land and then everything just kind of starts to blow up now am i

so it's a pleasure talking to you about this thank you so much for your time thank you. now in the tit for tat trade war between china and the united states beijing may have landed a blow that even president trump will find hard to counter after trump threatened to slap tariffs on 300000000000 dollars of its goods china let the market forces loose on its currency leaving washington to label beijing a currency manipulator scott hardly has more from beijing on what that means for the world's 2nd largest economy. 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 yuan worth

less chinese exports become cheaper allowing to compete better in the u.s. and across the world partly are setting 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 un volatility can only go so far china is trying to say that we're not going to be buoyed by the us and a small reminder to the 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 then it becomes a political issue. after share prices worldwide felt 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 in line with international standards despite the arguments the u.s. says it still planning for a visit from a chinese trade delegation in september now in better place to talk about all things currency then there are patel he's joining us now effects in global macro strategist at i care a good to have you with us.
