north korea calls the south korean leader stupid and foolish. and in sports roger federer as u.s. open preparations take a hit for the cincinnati masters we'll explain a little later in the program in about 35. antigovernment protests in hong kong into the 11th week protest as a gathering and demanding a white of democracy in the territory started against a bill allowing the extradition of suspects to mainland china has now been suspended but not completely got rid of still want leader to resign she said she won't the police have been using tear gas to disperse activists and hundreds been arrested since the protests began in july i mean it was among the protesters in hong kong but it was the atmosphere like today.

tear gas and actually there's no police presence whatsoever it's been very peaceful there's about. maybe 5000 people at tending this rally. today and i think probably the the message coming out here is quite different than the previous days. there's no talk about the 5 demands that protesters have been asking for actually here you get the feeling that they are trying to send their message to the outside world the western countries. has been going around it says power to the people and then on the side they are demanding basically that the u.k. should declare that china. the no riches joint declaration was reached that was a declaration that basically hammered this status quo a i have heard there one.

country 2 systems solution for this for this place and it also asking the u.s. congress and the u.s. and the u.k. parliament consider imposing sort of bag mix the style. the sanctions on people who would have committed crimes basically crimes against the people of hong kong and read in that probably carry land the chief executive and some members of our government it started really with video links with people in a speaker in the u.k. and the speaker and the u.s. both of them saying that the western world would be supporting this movement here and basically they are the people protesting in hong kong are part of a wider global movement of people protesting in different countries around the world the the venue where they're protesting today holder does that represent in

effect a slightly different tactic on their part because when they were at the airport big old what they wanted they got themselves on all the international news channels they got the issue of what's going on in hong kong in their minds i guess on all the front pages. well the venue here is has been approved by the authorities here and now this is a smaller rally we're going up to the weekend where over saturday between saturday and sunday they will be 5 different rallies are brought in and around home called some provisions but the bigger ones obviously being these. protesters here from home called asking for all these demands i think what will happen over the next 2 days will be very significant there is a bit of anxiety in the air that things could sort of deteriorate and you could have these outbursts of violence that we have seen over the past week or so

a lot of people will tell you is some they will be a very big day now authorities haven't allowed for the protesters to march throughout the city they've only allowed them to have the rallies in that visit needed area in big torii a park and the police has said that that's specifically to avoid the violence that has unfolded on the streets over the past week or 2 thanks very much. now the chief executive of hong kong's biggest airline has resigned after cathay pacific employees were sacked and suspended for taking part in the pro-democracy protests this week kathy's board said rupert hauled needed to be replaced because the airlines commitment to safety and security had been called into question china's leaders warned employees not to take part in the protests which closed the airport and grounded hundreds of flights. iran is issuing a message of defiance about it sees supertanker and says it's up to them whether it's sales to syria or not the supreme court in gibraltar ordered the release of

the grace one on thursday after it was seized by british forces last month the court order followed iranian assurances that it wouldn't continue his voyage to syria in breach of e.u. sanctions a new crew is due on board the ship which has a new name and it's switched its registration from panama to sail under the iranian flag life to my colleague andrew symonds who's there for us on the water just by that ship just off the coast of gibraltar so andrew still there not setting sail quite yet. that's right peter as you can see now all of the original namings of of this vessel grace water as it was or all blacked out now they've painted that out the crew that are on board they've only seen about 6 or 7 so far also the panamanian flag has been brought down there is nothing. in a way of a flag on this vessel right now and now these are all important aspects because

they're part of the registration process the reregistration process has been de flag formally it's registered now in iran's name there will be an iranian flag we're told as far as the crew go we're not sure yet whether there's a new captain on board 7 crew were brought out so we know that from bravia communications on thursday nights 7 new crew members are on board but we need 28 to sail this vessel iran does and that is a logistical issue. so far the indications are that it by no means is gibraltar holding this ship far from it they are happy for it to go as a legal process that's been observed to the letter and the order is there for the detention. to be lifted iran has indicated that it will sail and it will sail to a destination in the mediterranean all the tracking we've seen on this our own

communication system here indicates just the word mediterranean no indication as to where any british reaction yet so that iranian foreign ministry statement saying basically the ship can go wherever whenever it wants. not yet from britain but from gibraltar it has responded in a fairly. outright way. there's a broad government spokesperson says that a formal diplomatic note which is known as notes. was issued a head of the judgment by the superior court that there was a commitment from iran a written commitment that it would not go to syria however you refer that to the foreign busy ministry statement in tehran which says that we're supporting syria and everything old including oil and energy we have the right to sail

anywhere we weren't going to syria in the 1st place now that's been dismissed by gibraltar like this it says the evidence is clear facts speak louder than self-serving political statements we're hearing today now diplomats are used to this sort of a contradictory statement coming from iran on many many issues politically legally though it still stands like this this ship is free to go it's going very slowly right now in terms of preparations it's still it we're not sure when it's going to set sail and it does appear to be certainly a progressive but a slow process and many thanks. at least 15 people have been killed in a series of attacks in more than me and maher armed groups of launch rockets at an elite military college in shan state killing several soldiers the fighters nearly destroyed a bridge in a major highway that connects me in march to china the attacks marked a major escalation in the old ethnic conflict in the north of the country the

northern alliance claimed responsibility for the killings and said it was a response to recent army action in the region. north korea is rejecting further unification talks with the south saying the suggestion is foolish a government spokesman in pyongyang made that announcement before the latest ballistic missile tests the firing of 2 short range weapons into the sea of japan on friday is the 6th test in the past month north korea says it's angered by the south's latest military drills with the united states president said the quote momentum for dialogue with the north was still alive despite worrying actions by pyongyang it has had to go i please to solidify the foundation so that we can successfully host the joint 2032 seoul pyongyang lympics and stand tall in the world as one korea by achieving peace and unification by 2045 which will mark the 100th anniversary of

liberation. well you know michel braun is a research fellow at the university institute for north korean studies he says the latest rhetoric from north korea comes amid a diplomatic shift on the peninsula. it's a result of south korean government having been effective mediator between north korea and they you know they states specially when there was escalation of tension on the korean peninsula in 2017 when the u.s. president on trumped openly you know talked about complete destruction of north korea and north korea retaliated with a harsher rhetorics so it's an irony of south korea being a producer or mediator between north korea and the united states for it's a sub says that south korea is no longer needed by north korea and the united states or the mediator because these countries are now engaging directly with each other for productive negotiations with the 3 something meeting between human trauma

so north korean leadership is attempted to fully exploited the gap between south korea and they you know it is these are especially trying to take full of the bends you know of president trump who describes the joint military exercises. as a war games or he openly express his opposition to the military drills as to expensive and reckless so in those korea was to have a direct contact with u.s. person on who is similar to syria those same kind of understanding of the security situation on the korean peninsula us while alienating south korea. it has spread to a new province in the democratic republic of congo as 2 cases have been confirmed in south kivu doctors say a 24 year old woman and a child trying to the virus in beni in north kivu they then travel 700 kilometers by bus to more insults keven there they tested positive the mother died last.

time here weather is careful that's right we have some big changes going on in australia temperatures above average in a lot of places but going down to well below average and some areas 1st i want to show you what one of these cities is going to be looking like over the next 3 days were take you to alice springs in the central part of the continent could be 31 degrees here on saturday dropping all the way down to a high of 15 degrees by the time we get to monday the reason being is we have a powerful frontal system that's going to be pushing through one is already laying out this one not so significant but the one out here towards the west this one is going to bring a big change of air an air mass across much of the area 1st is going to be pushing through perth brings a very windy conditions dropping the temperature down there but by the time we get from saturday and into sunday that front pushes through much of the continent are going to be seeing a big drop in temperature not only for alice springs but for adelaide as well then

as we go towards monday the system moves over here towards much of the eastern seaboard we're going to be seeing a lot of cold air pushing across now across much of the southeast the snow is going to be a problem the snow is going to be dropping to about 500 meters across much of those higher elevations so for victoria as well as into tasmania expect to see some white conditions as we go towards monday morning very chilly start there but up towards brisbane it's going to be nice but that's not going to last long probably by tuesday it will be cold as well. indonesia's capital jakarta could be moving from java to kalimantan on borneo after the president asked the parliament to accept a plan to create a new seat of government hasn't decided where the exact site of the new city could be nor when it will be built the idea of creating a new capital has been debated for decades in indonesia with sea levels rising jakarta is one of the fastest sinking cities on the planet it could be submerged by the year 2053. as the director for development of urban housing and settlement

areas of the ministry of national developed learning of indonesia we spoke to her earlier she says the government wants to limit the impact that building a new capital could have on the island of borneo and that ecosystems will be preserved in the region. back to the cali man band yes we are so silly they might be some calculating the banks we calculate the answer how we going to get banks especially to. the reality. that our borneo is part of the heart. of. oxygen for the global so we're trying to build. in concept of green and sustainable so we're trying to put the last part of the city so we're trying to rebuild concept of the real plan and that. area of the

conservation area will not be. so the city itself will take. real try to minimize the impact and it's not the whole forest we also have cities so we're trying to move the capital not to. the jungle to the middle of the jungle but it's still a close proximity to the process. today across the city so we're real minimize the impacts to the forest in building this it's the city this is the global community that we are trying to move our. new development into. a new approach to ready english yes and it's not just 70. western part of indonesia we're trying to. equalize. a development between all regions ready in indonesia and we are. pursuing them or there are. many.

i think that's the message. emotions have been running high in the pacific islands as local national leaders debate climate change the prime minister of tata reportedly was in tears during one meeting but the talks fell far short of what many had been hoping for with negotiations nearly collapsing twice the australian delegation was also accused of resisting calls to commit to firm action civil as prime minister and nearly so that the talks have been robust. we were exchanging votes for larry language in not swearing of the job. but of course you know expressing the the concerns of leaders and i was really happy with the exchange of it was frank prime minister motion of course they don't is positions and those they did my positions of the leaders we need to save these

people the premise of tom actually cried in the retreat did you know. the leader of that actually shed tears in front of the leaders i understand the sensitivity to these issues particularly where we're standing and and and i should respect towards that in my engagements it's not just about a strike as a comic. it's about. it's about how astride you can continue to provide the support that we do across the pacific region when we have the biggest investor in the pacific's development and protection of any nation on the planet we invest one point $4000000000.00 in the region every year that's the highest it's ever been under my government still to come fully here on the new sudan the finally set for a new leader will have the details. and in sport tiger woods looks to get his season back on track at the b.m.w. championships action from the opening round coming up in about 15 minutes.

assuming a message of defiance about it sees supertanker and says it's up to them whether it continues its voice to syria or not supreme court ordered the release of the grace one on thursday after it was seized by british forces last month. the u.s. congresswoman the democratic congresswoman russia says she will not visit her grandmother in the occupied west bank despite receiving permission from israel the interior minister says she would have been allowed on humanitarian grounds if she backed down from a call to boycott israel but maintains she won't be silenced and treated like a criminal now earlier the deputy foreign minister said she'd been banned after a low being efforts by president donald trump russell and jordan as our correspondent in washington ross just unpack this for a vote for us what's the background to her decision here. well as you noted

congresswoman to leave she was elected to speak out against injustice and against the occupation of the west bank by israeli authorities and she said that even though she very much wanted to pick figs with her 90 year old grandmother in a town west of ramallah she said that she would be violating the principles on which she ran she was joining the u.s. congress and that she was not going to a now make the visit to see her grandmother and other relatives in the occupied west bank this has gone back several weeks if not at least a month ago she and another congresswoman ileana omar had wanted to take their own visit of israel and the occupied west bank in order to was assess how the situation is playing out in the case of congresswoman omar to a take a look at how u.s. funds that are given to israel are actually spent in the occupied west bank

basically carrying out what they say was a fact finding mission even though the israeli government originally had indicated that they would approve visas for both women it does now seem according to numerous reports that the trumpet ministration put a lot of pressure on the government of prime minister benjamin netanyahu to deny the 2 congresswomen of the says because they support the b.d.s. movement the boycott divest and sanctions movement in order to get israel to change its policies this is it became a real flashpoint in the last 24 hours because the government then decided not to approve these visas after pressure from to president donald trump and then there was bipartisan push back here in the united states peter about israel's decision saying that one this goes against what israel. purports to stand up for riches

democratic values and free speech as well as the idea that it would basically do the bidding of a foreign leader even if it is the u.s. president then late on thursday there was a partial reversal as you noted peter that congresswoman to leave would be allowed to go to the occupied west bank to see her family if as she had promised in a letter asking for permission to go to the occupied west bank that she wouldn't engage in any political activities while she was there well of course now in the last hour or so she has now gone to twitter to say that she's not going to violate her political principles that this is a painful decision but that she has to uphold what she campaigned on so what happens now well we haven't heard from the president's stance of lee he is not going to be in public today but you can expect peter that this political controversy is not by any means over and i guess for the trump white house rose

primacy here is the relationship between his administration and netanyahu is administration but the the on again off again nature of this is dizzying i mean i think it was last month the israeli ambassador mr derma to washington said yes you can get into the occupied territories in the west bank and you can get into israel and then that was flipped around following the law being part of this story 2 weeks ago when mr trump got involved in it. that's right and in fact the fact that ron dermer who is the israeli ambassador to the u.s. made this promise not just to the to congresswoman but to congressional leadership including to the majority leader standing hoyer has really angered members of congress mr hoyer came out publicly on thursday and said that mr dearmer essentially broke his word and broke the israeli government's word and that this is

damaging now to the status of u.s. israeli relations there's a lot of stock placed on the personal relationships between members of congress and members of the israeli government and you have not just mr hoyer but you have nancy pelosi the house speaker you have a number of republicans who are speaking out against this you have a pac which is the organization that is very much in support of improved support and. good relations with israel all coming out and be extremely critical of the netanyahu government for reversing its decision on these visas now this is also you have to consider that there is a political element at least from where the president sets certainly his stated support for israel is a campaign issue and so this is something that may be backfiring on him because he has so many people from both the republican and democratic parties criticizing his

interference in another country's decision whether it's issue visas rose thanks very much for us in jordan a correspondent in washington. protest leaders have nominated. to be the interim prime minister he's an economist who's worked with the african development bank and the united nations now the nomination is the 1st step towards the creation of a transitional government off the longtime president bashir was overthrown in a military coup in april i mean months of protests and political turmoil as negotiations between the military joined to the opposition alliance dragged on. many migrants from central america are risking their lives to try and reach the united states critics of donald trump of blaming his keep out migration policies for the deaths of some asylum seekers heidegger castro reports now from an to lope wells in new mexico soaring temperatures adding to the dangerous. sand rocks and vast emptiness that she while one desert in the u.s.

state of new mexico stretches hundreds of kilometers this is where groups of hundreds of migrants mostly families from central america have chosen to surrender themselves to the u.s. border patrol the question is why is a growing number of people choosing to cross in this hot and barren place last december a 7 year old girl died after journeying here more than 3000 kilometers with her father from what amala she was in u.s. border patrol custody her body temperature was more than 41 degrees it was a horrible thing that never should have happened. if the people hadn't been forced into the desert it would never michael sims works at the general store in the nearby town of had cheetah he says the u.s. border wall that guards urban areas and the greater number of border agents there lead migrants to cross in more remote places even so he says the migrants cause no

trouble here he says trump calling this an invasion is wrong there was no invasion of people a lot of people ok they came quietly they came. honestly as obviously is a good a few blocks away but neither and bob dens lawyers say they are worried about the number of people crossing so close to their home in those large groups who don't know how many of them are. criminals are part of the cartel coming through and trying to be part of that group to get into the country the married couple says like most americans who live in this politically conservative town they support trump's border policies so i feel he. is doing the best job he can do with what he's had to work with this is an ongoing problem that's been here for for years as the desert heat soars the number of migrants crossing the u.s. southern border has dropped to 72000 in july that's still much higher than previous years and the fear is more people will die in the attempt to castro al-jazeera

antelope wells new mexico. staying in the states mr trump has spoken about recent mass shootings in the us but in comments on condemnation criticisms it's too easy to get guns that a white house correspondent can really help it wasn't the president's latest campaign rally i will never ever let you down that i can join. speaking in new hampshire his 1st time before supporters says the mass shootings in dayton and el paso donald trump blamed the people he says are behind us gun violence there is a mental illness problem that has to be dealt with. it's not the gun that polls the trigger it's the person holding the gun we're going to have to give major consideration to building new facilities for those in need we have to deal absent from trucks message the suggestion of universal background
