5 language went to addressing that and so you do get the feeling that reading it's been a continuing in the days to come whether tonight you will see a similar situation somewhere else that is something that i don't know but. this kind of sand will keep on happening in and around home until this standoff which is basically between the protesters and the chief executive mainly at this point will order or chief executive sort of gives a list of demands 5 of them number one being withdrawing that extradition bill that story started all this sort of. ok. with an update from hong kong thank you. an opposition politician for a demo that's a group pushing for greater democracy in hong kong he says dialogue is the way forward. no one would love to clash no one would love to see fountains no one would

love people to be injured and that's why we know that the only way out is hong kong government must respond to people's demand instead of hiding behind those riot police thousands of us gather at airports and they are planning to have 1000000 people join the protests on sunday too demanding for you crystal clear requests the 1st is terminate and withdraw the extradition b.-o. the 2nd one is to stop protests brutality and finally the only way out is to have free election hong kong people need to elect our own government well millions of people have been affected in hong kong but the concern is not limited to those inside the territory it's also being keenly monitored in mainland china scott highly reports from neighboring sens and. the primary gateway from mainland china into hong kong. a constant flow of arrivals and departures many people here are concerned about the protests in hong kong from both sides of the border than just

protests now in their 11 week is being felt in gen as with elsewhere in mainland china its stock market had seen negative numbers since the protests moved to the hong kong international airport but there was one standout in gen airport shares soared it's the closest major airport to hong kong and during the closures this week some flights were diverted there to continue turmoil in hong kong could make more attractive to airlines and passengers the airport just received approval to expand allowing it to nearly double its yearly passenger numbers to 80000000. so while the view from jenin to hong kong remains the same the impact from what's happening across the border is be keenly felt by the people here scotland al-jazeera. fighters say they killed 50 soldiers in an attack on a military base in southern somalia army commanders confirm the raid but didn't provide the casualty numbers. to if its men died in the gunfire and car bomb

after iranian forces seized the british flying oil tanker last month. all talks about establishing a new coalition in the persian gulf and sea of oman going to be practical no doubt that it won't help the security of the region there is no need for the presence of foreign forces to provide security. bakehouse more from to her on. well it's the 1st time president rouhani has addressed reports that israel may be participating in this u.s. led naval coalition in the region which the united states says is to guarantee freedom of navigation in the gulf now president rouhani said that the idea is taking part because of the security is absurd and that if israel was able to provide security it should do so in its own region he also said that wherever israel has a presence it causes insecurity terrorism and massacre but he also said that iran is willing to establish relations with neighboring countries and says that the u.s.

goal in the region was to souls discord and money he said that coastal countries are fully capable of providing security and stability in the region there's no need for foreign troops now the context for this is that the united states that pulled that 2015 nuclear deal last year and impose sanctions on iran and in the last few months there have been an increase of tensions with drones shut down tankers mysteriously attacked the united states and its gulf allies then the iran of course iran has denied that but also iran seized a british tank after the united kingdom seized it raining 10 gibraltar now this coalition only has 2 countries in it the united kingdom and the united states and that's because european countries are still trying to salvage the 2015 deal and they feel that any presence of troops in the region would jeopardize that do in fact germany has refused to join it join this coalition because they say everything should be done to avoid escalation. and iraq there are calls for compensation after

government on tuesday morning teenagers walked around looking for and picking up unexploded rockets despite warnings many people are in shock yet eager to show the damage to their home. asked the government to compensate the poor living and. it is dangerous to live here now we're asking security forces to remove these unexploded missiles as soon as possible. tomar says she's grateful no one in her family was injured but the damage to their home is just another hardship in a life of struggle that's this. we have suffered for a long time and we keep suffering only the poor until the west we don't expect anything from this country. that's because most of the people living in these makeshift homes along the highway have built illegally they say if they could afford to live somewhere out of range from a military base they would. al-jazeera baghdad. syria's state news

agency is showing video of what it says are government forces moving into a strategically important town in rebel held the province the capture of a set to represent a significant advance by the army in the last rebel held province it's been bombarded for the past 4 months by syrian air force and russian air strikes the u.n. says at least 450 civilians have been killed others say we're more than 700 people have been killed and we're just getting news that a government's war plane has crashed in the province according to reports and pro opposition media rebels and who have shot down the jets they have been there have been no reports of the incidents in syrian state media so far senior u.s. politicians are weighing in on breck's it as the october 31st deadline approaches the u.s. house speaker says there would be no chance of congress passing a trade deal with the u.k.

if there is a risk of subsequent unrest in northern ireland's nancy pelosi is common appear to contradict national security advisor john bolton he says a deal could be fast tracked through congress if britain leaves the u. let's bring in lawrence lee he's joining us from london so a u.k. u.s. trade deal which british presence here has seemed to think will replace lost trade with the e.u. seems to be far from straightforward doesn't it lawrence. yes very much so this is the 1st of 2 pieces of bad news for boris johnson the british prime minister. donald trump and by extension john bolton his security advisor both you know are encouraging the u.k. to leave the european union with no deal at all and have another wave in this carrot in front of the u.k. saying come on we'll we'll give you a trade deal quick as quick as we can. but that as people have pointed out endlessly over the last few months it's not up to them study not to john bolton because it is a security advisor it's congress which has to agree

a trade deal and as people have said repeatedly the congress will not support a trade deal and will block its if the good friday agreement a peace deal across the island of ireland is in some way imperils and whatever the u.k. says about a no deal brecht's it leave the border open the goods can come and go as they want to the european union has gigantic reservations about that. because it's not going to help on behalf of the republic of ireland in that particular negotiation so in that sense you can sort of see the european whispering in nancy pelosi. and nancy pelosi basically speaking for them but it does make it very difficult abortion some because the point is the holy grail for blacks it is a trade deal quickly with the united states they need to see some immediate progress and if congress is now saying with a no then it makes an immediate benefits look look look very very difficult to accomplish and johnson himself has had out what he calls the terrible collaboration

between remain m.p.'s and the e.u. why the harsh language at a time when he has been saying he's sure a new improved deal can be struck with european neighbors. and this and this was the 2nd and arguably most more significant piece of piece of news for him ever since he became prime minister a few weeks ago and loaded his government with the most ideologically pure and driven bricks it has everybody's been asking in westminster well exactly how many more middle of the road conservatives are going to come out against ace and potentially votes against their own government in a confidence vote which is now almost inevitably going to happen around around september the 9th and lo and behold you have a letter in the times newspaper in london they signed by 20 mostly very senior former government ministers and people saying they just can't countenance boris johnson's plan than boris johnson and accuse them of collaborating as he put it with the european union and giving the game away and so it makes it very difficult morris johnson because that means that inside parliament you to have to have

probably at least 10 opposition m.p.'s supporting boris johnson for a no deal and that seems really unlikely and so based on that lesser evils are saying well if there is a confidence vote and boris johnson loses what happens then and will the opposition parties get it together to form a government instead before the backseat deadline and what does the european union do then or can johnson push it all through because no one knows the answers to any of these things at the moment it's a very very volatile time but public opinion is crucial for johnson all this spinning poll today 19 or 20 percent of people want no deal 2526 percent want a better deal or a different deal not no deal nearly 50 percent don't want to leave the european union it's all right i was very very very volatile very split population and very very difficult time politically in this country are interesting ok lawrence thank you for that update from london. well the prospects of a no deal brecht's that may have had an impact on europe's largest economy germany could be heading for

a recession gross domestic product fell by point one percent in the last 3 months the economy will officially be in recession if there is another contraction this quarter a slump in exports and falling core sales are taking their toll economists to close this the cent has more on the slowdown there's 2 main linkages there is there is a link that through what we can say export growth has slowed if you look at global data for export that has slowed in the trade war and the uncertainty has. has you know accessibility that another a link is via confidence you know you have this huge degree of uncertainty which has been weighing on on the global economy for for such a long time and that is starting to feed through to production cuts and slowing investment and that's really what we've seen in the german economy i'd say since the beginning of of since the beginning of the year which and that's come on top

of of a slowdown in car sales as you mentioned because of some new emissions rules in the e.u. and some some some some change in regulations there so there's a lot of things that is not working out very well for the german economy at the moment teenage climate activists gretton bird has set sail on voyage across the atlantic ocean the 16 year old is heading for new york to attend the united nations summit on climate change from plymouth in southern england the voyage on a 0 emissions yachts is expected to take 2 weeks also on board are her father to experience sailors and a filmmaker. in the beginning i i mean my voice wasn't hurt at all as so many others and i just tried different ways. until i found some kind of method to him that made my voice heard and so i think

it's of course it's individually for everyone and you just have to be creative and come up with maybe something new to do there so we incredibly many things you can do and says this is such an incredibly big and global problem it needs to be tackled from every possible angle so you're going to go has the latest from plymouth. a message that she wants to spread when she gets to the united states is that she wants to make people aware of the emergency that is facing the planet and if there is one thing that she hopes to achieve it would be to get people to think about the conditions that the planet is facing so they in turn can put pressure on leaders but nevertheless this is quite a momentous situation for a 16 year old school girl who less than a year ago began her school strike and galvanized an entire global movement of

indian aggression. confrontations have returned to the streets of hong kong on wednesday as police fired tear gas to clear crowds gathered near a police station the protests over the past few hours broke out as the airport began to return to normal after 2 days of disruption. iran's president has criticized efforts by the u.s. and the u.k. to build up a military presence in the gulf hasan rouhani says gulf states can protect the region and foreign forces aren't needed. new details are emerging about how a u.s. political fundraiser helped orchestrate a campaign against qatar in washington d.c. eliot brody was one of us president donald trump's top fundraisers roy he is accused of illegally running a multi-million dollar advocacy campaign to turn. the u.s. against cats are the campaign was allegedly funded by the united arab emirates now a key date in that investigation according to the new york times as a pivotal white house meeting with president donald trump his chief of staff and

his national security adviser. reportedly told an associate that he spent most of that meeting talking about the middle east including telling president trump that cats are was part of an axis of evil let's talk about this with me hootie he's a senior public policy fellow at the american university of beirut good to have you with us again on the al-jazeera news hour so we know that your broidery is already under federal investigation into violations of lobbying laws and his arrangements with the governments of certain countries particularly the u.a.e. is of interest to prosecutors but i suppose the question is are we now getting a sense of the full scope and intensity of boy these activities. we're getting a lot more details about either things that he's been indicted for by accorded new york for bribing the new york state pension fund or he paid off a plane ex playboy bunny one and

a half 1000000 dollars to keep him quiet because they had an affair or we're hearing a lot more about questionable links between him a fellow called george nader and the u.s. government and what you're seeing here is an extraordinarily fascinating but real picture of the combination of incompetence criminality shady dealings and pretty ineffective work by some of the people who are very close to trump with close links to the united arab emirates and some in some cases with the saudis and others and this is an extraordinary insight into this pattern of conduct the links back to the u.a.e. and most of the things that the u.a.e. tried to get him to do have failed like most of the foreign policy initiatives that the u.a.e. has taken in the region have not worked very well so that's what makes this so

interesting one takeaway from the new york times piece is that donations to think tanks as well as nonprofit organizations are really helped drive the anti qatar campaign in washington d.c. but is a possible to assess at all the exact impact that brady's anti cuts are contained has had on the country. we can say for sure that it was able to generate some speeches some op eds for instance he paid something like $240000.00 to an american company that dealt with the influence in the media that paid columnists and people influential people to write things we can we can calculate the events that took place because he paid the money a conference by the hudson institute or the foundation for the defense of democracies it's hard to calculate the actual impact the reality though today if you look at the u.a.e. and you look at the cut n.

washington and in the american political elite the companies are doing fine they're not the terrorist supporting wild islamists that the saudis and what ideas have tried to paint them as while the minorities in the saudis are really and a difficult situation in the u.s. with with congressional majority votes to prohibit arms sales to them and things like that because of the killing because of the lobbying they're doing because of the boycott of qatar and other things that they have done so at the the bottom line i think is that the image i think is have not achieved anything by dealing with shady characters half of the people that they dealt with the in the trumpet ministration who are around them like paul mann afford them and they do and these guys some of them are a convicted sex offender yes so what as some of them are convicted what what sort of position does this put the u.a.e. in because. we are saying federal prosecutors are looking into broidery as well as

his links to the united arab emirates but we know of course the u.a.e. was also mentioned and robert muller is reports so what impact does all of this have on the emirates. what it does is it creates more interest and various either prosecution of the offices in the us or busy congressional committees or the media now to investigate more closely what actually are these countries doing in the us and some of them will be investigating cover which is fair busy enough. if people do a basic lobbying you hire busy a lobbying company you pay the money they register as an agent for a foreign government that's part of perfectly legitimate everybody does it qatar the u.a.e. egypt every country does that but what these cases are pointing out is shady dealings with money that's not declared with people like brady doing things are not registering as foreign agents and that's why they're being investigated now so it's going to shed more light so do serious investigations on what the u.a.e.

or the so it is or even the cut that he's are doing and the united states i don't think the countries have much to worry about as far as we can tell while some of the other countries have more serious issues that they they have to deal with that's really the core the polow quality of the people that they've been dealing with that is the biggest telltale sign right of the ineffective nature of these kinds of campaigns all right saddam hussein we thank you for speaking to us from beirut. well donald trump says he will delay new tariffs on chinese made products the us president says he doesn't want americans to have to pay more for things like laptops smartphones and video game consoles during the shopping season before christmas our white house correspondent kimberly halkett has more. financial markets are reacting positively to that news coming out of the u.s. trade representative's office that there would be a delay in some of the tariffs put on chinese goods into the united states specifically when it comes to things like clothing toys even electronics now these

are all things that americans buy and like to give as gifts during the busy december holiday shopping season now the president has been talking about this ongoing trade war with china and he says there is still optimism that this can be resolved that trade officials on both the u.s. side and the chinese side have been talking and he feels there is still room for a deal. you. know very. well. you. know the sticking points in resolving this dispute between the united states and china concerns about intellectual

property theft and also currency devaluation the united states accusing china of just that also accusing china of not delivering on a promise to once again begin buying agricultural goods from u.s. farmers who have taken a big hit when it comes to selling things like soybeans and pork to china us so the president expressing some concern and frustration on twitter but still saying that he expects china to follow through on the buying of agricultural products expressing some optimism for change but critics here in the united states saying that the president sort of outward expression of frustration the fact that the u.s. trade representative's have dialed back or delayed tariffs at least until december and some chinese products means that the u.s. may. they have lost its power and terms of negotiating that it has blinked if you will in this ongoing trade war and that the shift has now gone to china now having a stronger hand as the 2 sides attempt to try and resolve this dispute in ongoing
