medical aid before being taken to detention centers in the capital all of them are planning to make their way towards europe. well now to news here in the u.k. the country's opposition leader jeremy corbyn is rallying support for his plan to become can take a prime minister and avoid a no deal brax it out of the labor party plans to replace boris johnson by defeating the conservative government in a vote of no confidence let's go live to sunny gago who is outside the rally in bolton of course sonia it's very unclear at this point whether jeremy corbin will be able to get enough support for his plan to gain a majority in parliament what's the general feeling there where you are. well and here at the rally itself of course the grassroots labor members and activists are pulling their support behind jeremy corbin he is of course the leader of the labor party and they hate to hear it to hear him speak and address what
3:11 am
local activists want to see want to hear and see from the labor leader but that really hasn't translated to of the support beyond the labor grassroots even within his own party he is somewhat of a divided figure in itself even though he might be able to get some of the support it is really very unclear and unlikely that he will be able to get support across the benches especially from the party in government the conservative party who frankly even though they are against the kind of brics that that prime minister boris johnson is proposing to do or die without a deal with a deal by october 30 first 7 they would almost rather stick with the status quo rather than risk the their political damage says the labor leader jeremy corbyn being the caretaker prime minister even though mr corbin says that what he would do is to call a general election and also prepare a referendum for another. over the brics an issue it really does look i'm
3:12 am
likely at this point that he has the numbers to be able to do that and certainly the other opposition party the lip. democrats the leader just winston said that really they don't have that support they don't see them selves going into business as it were with mr coburn but i've said they're open to the labor party just not with jeremy corbin so an extraordinary challenge that he would have and what he make have the grassroots convinced that no necessarily get translated to the wider political spectrum and i suppose that's the problem for politicians in m.p.'s in parliament that want to stop it in its tracks that they remain very divided if this jeremy corbyn plan fails what's next. well if it does fail that there are 2. politicians or m.p.'s whose names have been floated one of them
3:13 am
a senior tory politician ken clarke who has been for decades on the bench is there who is. that and certainly. this current status with prime minister boris johnson as well but also there is another name being floated around for the labor party harriet harman another senior labor politician as well who's certainly not quite as divisive for those more in the center ground as jeremy corbyn course while all of this political wrangling is continuing the time keeps on ticking and the less time there is the less time there is to actually fabricate some kind of of working agreements in order to be able to stop that and if that happens and if that continues then maybe the country will perhaps just unwittingly fall into or no deal breaks it simply because those opposed to such a states would not really have any plan with which to put to the british people all
3:14 am
right well for now thank you very much tony go reporting to us there from bolton will have more from london for you a bit later on in the news hour let's get back to come all in thank you mary and we'll see you soon. right now the right wing groups in the u.s. have started a rally in portland oregon to protest a once against what they call domestic terrorism and a fascist demonstrators of also gathered to counter the march which has been organized by the proud boys described as a hate group by some civil rights organizations we're back with rob reynolds now in portland rob i was watching your live shots just a moment ago and it looked like things that sort of heated up alive and up a little bit there. yes things have gotten a little more tense and excited here. just a few moments ago some individuals wearing make america great baseball caps law into the crowd of anti-fascist they were cheered and pushed back with people saying
3:15 am
nazis go home i didn't see any punches thrown but it certainly riled up the crowd quite a bit the anti-fascist groups are gathering here under this bridge and you can see some of the signs and banners that they are carry you can also probably see some of the people who are dressed all in black with their faces covered. and those would be people who are associated with anti thought the anti-fascist fighting group that is dedicated to pushing back against extreme right wingers behind the you could see this area of law on green lawn and back there is a plan that we believe is the right wing people the crowd boys and other organizations now at the moment the portland police who are out in large numbers are keeping the 2 sides. from from engaging with one another but it looks like
3:16 am
there's some activity right over there i see a lot of police been running in that direction will come with well we'll follow that and see what's. going on. yet just. as we try to figure out exactly what's going on here it looks like a couple of the end. at harrods tried to breach through the police barricade and additional police in riot gear came over to stop them though this is again a very tense situation there has been violence in the past here in the city of portland as the far right and left wing groups have flashed the police are hoping to keep the violence to a minimum if not to prevent it all together but at the moment it's it looks like it's kind of hanging on
3:17 am
a knife's edge them all. something which just strikes me and i think you ask one of our guests earlier about this is that poland oregon is it's kind of a view it is more of a liberal sort of place and here you have you know very strong right wing elements coming out and you pointed out that they've been problems in the past as well. well it's true that portland has a reputation of being a provide a progressive and liberal city it has its dominated by democratic party politicians in the mayor's office and city council voted heavily for hillary clinton in 2016 but there is also been for many years a strong skinhead and ultra right wing and racist element in oregon in portland there have been violent incidents for example a a man espousing our shouting racial insults stabbed 3 people on a public train
3:18 am
a commuter train several years ago 2 of those people died and if you look over here again you can see that there are there. is a large crowd there. behind the police barricade now it's not clear exactly what their intentions are whether they will try to move in this direction or not i'm not entirely sure we'll have to see what goes on there but i think that in part to answer your question the mall because the city has such a progressive reffing reputation i think that they the general feeling among a lot of analysts at public officials here is that people are coming from the outside in order to as it were stick up in the eyes of such a liberal community and try to try to stir up a lot of trouble that is something that. the pro right wing forces have been very open and. frank about that they are calling for violence
3:19 am
and using that type of rhetoric and of course there's a big. a big discussion in the united states as a hold out as to whether president trumps rhetoric on the campaign trail in his tweets in his policies has given some and courage but then perhaps leeway to those right wing elements which are now gathered here in portland oregon rob thank you i'm going to leave you there for now but we may come back to unite in fact if anything does flare up further give us a shout we're just looking at the live pictures coming in from the agencies as well so many people gathering here portland oregon a mixture of as rob was explaining to us right wing groups who are being kept behind a police line and here i think this group is more of the anti fascist group it's. and a lot of people have well yes there's a unicorn there so i'm going to suggest that they aren't
3:20 am
a fascist. a lot of people have come out and this is sort of the way things are in america now that there is this divide which gets highlighted in such events like that you see there the green park area at the moment which is separating the groups the right police out there but we will be back with robredo holds later as things progress in portland oregon. and here is what else is coming up on al-jazeera well we would have loved her to come we started preparing her favorite meal everybody in the family and neighborhood was anticipating her visit to hear from the palestinian grandmother who was proud of a stand being taken by a certain u.s. congresswoman. add a little salt in line. delicious. that's our correspondent eating a scorpion. to a mexican restaurant serving up insects. on dominic cain in berlin at the home of germany's youngest top flight football team can they make

3:25 am
fighting in italy in the last week it is of course syria's last rebel held province just a warning some of you may find the pictures in this report from andrew chappelle disturbing. these people have already fled fighting in syria but tragically it's still caught up with them in this case at least 18 people were killed in a suspected russian airstrike on a camp for internally displaced syrians. the attack in the town of hasse killed at least 6 children their mental bodies pulled from the rubble including a baby whose umbilical cord still attached to its mother elsewhere in the town of the white house volunteer force say another child was killed in a government strike which injured 20 others. this seems are a daily occurrence following the collapse of a cease fire agreements between government troops and rebel factions earlier this month with a broken ceasefire in a so-called deescalation zone southern it live has seen many broken agreements and

3:27 am
have taken place what is going on at the moment is really a failure of the political will the international political will to implemented really a ceasefire a peaceful solution on the ground that would take into account the fact that there is millions of children women and families caught up in between and that is really what is happening right now including the attack that was on friday the syrian opposition coalition is calling on world leaders to stop the bombing in its lead and what they call the systematic displacement of people living there but no one has come up with a formula for a solution and i'll just hear. the u.s. president is condemning a u.s. democratic congresswoman's rejection of an israeli visa as a complete set up repeatedly said israel had imposed unacceptable conditions on her request to visit family in the occupied west bank the full story is that israel had initially banned her and fellow congresswoman. because of their support for the
3:28 am
global boycott movement which was critical of israel's policies on palestinians sleep then requested these are on compassionate grounds to visit her grandmother abraham has this report now from the family village where she met the u.s. congress on his grandmother it's been over a decade since i had seen her granddaughter. she has visited the occupied west bank in 2006 the grandmother has been ready to welcome her she says she said she wanted to pick figs with her but that's not happening anymore. we would have loved her to come we started preparing her favorite everybody in the family a neighborhood was anticipating her visit. israel has granted that she did a permit to visit her grandmother for what they called a humanitarian visit during which a shouldn't be promoting boycotts against israel palestinian who were organizing the official part of the trip said they don't personally visit she even decided not
3:29 am
to come and appeal officials we've spoken to commended her decision so that her family. she should only come with dignity we refuse the israeli dictation policy or preconditions it's her right to come visit it's not a favor from anyone these sentiments were called by many palestinians with seen many of them posting on social media saying that she does shouldn't come under what they call the humiliating conditions now if you meet that is from her grandmother's house there are military checkpoints she could have seen them and shown them to the world that they are scattered across the west bank limiting palestinians access. another united states is continuing its pursuit of the iranian oil tanker which has been held for 6 weeks in we're going back to our european news center now with maryam namazie for more. yeah that story continuing to unfold the u.s. clearly not happy with the decision made by that court in gibraltar the state department the department of justice or others issued
3:30 am
a warrant for the ship's detention but the vessel is preparing to leave gibraltar by sunday after supremes court judges in the british territory ordered its release new crew members are on board and the super tanker has also been given a new name it will now set sail under the iranian flag after its registration was switched from panama under simmons has more from gibraltar. there may be a warrant in place from a u.s. district court for the seizure of the ship and the full faith of its cargo but it's have little effect on the slow pace of preparations some of the crew had used to board to actually put stencils all stood and paint in the new name adrian daria wall and the registration question that's the largest island in iraq. there's still no flag flying it's expected an iranian war will arrive soon along with extra crew members offices 6 of them to be arriving on
3:31 am
sunday including a new captain but right know whatever u.s. action is taken under the terms of their legislation and the sanctions they've imposed don't realize they can't be linked to the case in which this super tanker has been released so right now iran is of the opinion that it's vessel is free to set sail on its right because the approach says any action from the u.s. under the terms it's been talking about seems to have no jurisdiction here so could there be a case at a late stage it's thought unlikely well i mean we spoke to lawrence brighton a professor of international maritime laura fordham university he says the dispute is likely to continue even after the tank is set sail. the question is penmanship were. and will there be an order from the u.k.
3:32 am
where. you can leave religious p.c.'s to get m.s.n. the interesting question would be and your property would be somewhere else we don't know whether. and another complicating factor is the repudiation by the iranian government of the representation supposedly made to the u.k. that the and its cargo of oil would not go to syria after. it was released but remain and sam. mortars the iranian government while we have passed them sent our stuff everywhere where. no contact. that might have been premature statement in their accuracy as a matter of fact the law. russian opposition activists in moscow staged a string of one man protests call for free elections they also want charges to be dropped against protests to attend recent ronnie's as large opposition
