the 6 rifles we once had was seized by the army when they left defenseless if l. adverse reason approach we had no alternative but to report it to the government but if the government files to help us our enemies will destroy us simply because we have no weapons. the emergency measures allow authorities to impose curfews and search homes the president's also closed some borders blaming the surge of unrest on conflicts in neighboring libya sudan and central african republic but there's concern the border closures could stop supplies being brought in to a nation where more than half a 1000000 people already struggle to get enough food abdul-rahim survived one of the attacks and die in which several people were killed he usually works as a driver during the night and says the curfew isn't helping business. the whole street is closed there's nobody we the drivers can only get money at night during the day there's very few people. the tension extends beyond these provinces just

began many distressing videos have been circulated but this was the 1st to foretell the death of a man whose lawyers had warms the deportation to iraq could be fatal he was deported in june 63 days later he was dead he was on a bench in this airport and not with basically just the clothes on his back with nothing he had no food he had no water he had nothing an airport official took pity on him gave him some food called his family and that's how they found out that he had been deported it was incredibly incredibly cool in a statement immigration and customs enforcement said elder would had a criminal record and so had no legal basis to remain in the u.s. and that he was given a full complement of medicine to ensure continuity of care the detroit area has one of the largest populations of those with iraqi heritage outside of iraq many like jimmy all crowded catholics who came to the u.s. as refugee children around

a 1000 green card holders currently face deportation to iraq because they have a criminal record no matter how minor even though they served their time in jail and many like jimmy have no connection to iraq ice is determined to send them to a country that the state department says no american should travel to because it's too dangerous as a result of the u.s. invasion and jimmy wasn't the 1st to be sent back all the individuals that were in contact with there are some individuals we don't know what happened to them we don't know if they're alive or they're dead the individuals that we've spoken to many of them are in terrible situations they are in hiding some have been assaulted some have been shot shot at we know that jimmy obviously die. many of the county and community supported donald trump of the 2016 election encouraged by pledges of social conservatism and the protection of religious minorities abroad a nearly 90000 calorie in registered voters he won the state by 10000 or so so absolutely can it could impact the election and it's not just iraqis like jimmy who

face deportation to countries with which they have no connection several asian and african countries are being pressured to accept deportees even though they too would face an uncertain future in countries they don't know and one other thing i wanted to say about about jimi is that you know we were speaking to him shortly before his death he really wanted to share his story as a way to make sure that other people wouldn't experience what he experienced she never turns the al-jazeera detroit michigan now can dorian has strengthened to a category 4 storm which forecasters described as 6 dreamily dangerous it's gaining momentum as it tracks towards the u.s. east coast with wind speeds of more than 180 kilometers an hour evacuations have been ordered in the bahamas while a state of emergency has been declared for the u.s. state of florida and the sea correspondent jay gray has more from cocoa beach

florida. it looks like landfall at this point will be sometime late in the morning or early afternoon tuesday the storm has slowed down significantly and that's bad news that means it's gathering strength it's forming and getting a more solid eye and really could intensify significantly before does make the turn and head toward the florida coast here we have seen lines around grocery stores lines at gas stations home improvement stores packed with people buying supplies generators were sold out for a short time here more have been moved in fuel is going to be an issue across the state according to the governor and right now there's a high tension for millions up and down the coast because we just don't know at this point where the storm is going to strike look it has been a storm that's been very difficult to birthday it gets wrapped up very quickly in the warm waters of the atlantic and a lot of people now worried about where dorian could go next no evacuation orders and the main reason according to 1st responders and officials is they don't know

where to evacuate they don't know where the storm is going to make landfall what we do know is they'll likely open some shelters for people who don't feel safe at home can at least start to move in there what they've told everyone else is pack what you will meet if you're going to have to leave if you feel like you're going to leave regardless of an evacuation order do it now go all the roads aren't packed if you're going to wait for us to tell you to leave don't wait to pack once you get that word be ready to go and get out quickly. volunteers are in a race against time to save animals trapped by fires in bolivia the out of control flames have destroyed $1500000.00 hegde has of probable forest and the spreading southward towards paraguayan latin america and its alice in human reports from bolivia is she could down a tropical forest. a team of police and veterinarians travel to the nimby west to resist the forest fires have been raging for weeks. their mission is

to try to be. wild animals which may have been injured. this was the scene the previous night the fire destroyed everything in its path. but a few animals were saved like this 2 day old wild pig whose mother died in the fire . nature is extraordinary the way the allows these creatures to adapt in the face of danger and stress and find. enormous with burnt eyes a hawk recovering from smoke inhalation along with a boa constrictor they're all receiving treatment at the shelter. today the rescue is hope to find more survivors riding in the direction. which indicates sometimes where there's a fire and we can tell because of the large number of butterflies that are flying away. this area has already burned to the ground and there's no sign of life.

to swat is pokes around a serpent hole if it's deep enough he says the snakes may have survived. if you can see this is apocalyptic there's nothing left these are part of the world's longs now it's nature that's disappearing next it will be. this is no sign of firefighters here as you can see the wind here is absolutely fierce and it's fanning the flames again in this direction the plan is to bring a super tanker helicopter here in the next couple of days to leave water for the animals that have survived but that helicopter is also needed to put out the fires to save human life but the fire remains out of control a thick layer of smoke and ash fills the air making the sun look red. it's too dangerous to stay in the veterinarian so our upset that they couldn't save a single animal i mean. i feel impotent because people aren't seeing how the amazon is burning how animals of burning alive and no one is doing anything. while much of

the world focuses on the fires raging in the brazilian amazon the devastation here in neighboring bolivia is receiving far less attention. even though assistance is desperately needed not just to put out the fires but to regenerate this fragile and diverse eco system so that what has survived will still be able to live here in human in the tropical forest believe via. the amazon continues to burn despite brazilian president jalal sun r.-o. putting a 60 day ban on fires in the region that is about reports from port vale rando in your state. jade wilson out of may have banned fire using amazonia in an attempt to discourage people from setting the forest in place. despite the president's 60 day decrease on friday when i were away from the city of port the wheel in the stadium

from the fire men struggle to contain the flames. literally was told us the situation is desperate. f.l.i.r. for how the garden if the moment this is our life these days fighting one fire after another we still don't know whether this is criminal or not but it's happening all the time. it's located in the center west of brazil thousands of hectares of forest have already been destroyed it's an example of how the agricultural frontier continues to grow in spite of regulations in place to protect it. be increase of deforestation under president has generated an international outcry. it's difficult to know how this fire began whether it started naturally because of the time of the year or whether it was setup land in this part of the amazon rain forest is precious for agribusiness and in many cases fires like this one are started in order to take over the land. land is like real state here

and once deforested i'm burned it can be sold for thousands of dollars. evil seal weighs a farmer he believes this fire was intentional he says he's warned that the world will stop purchasing brazilian beef to punish words on idol. people are exaggerating or raise cattle or sell meat and milk and now because of the far as i'm going to stop selling it i want the criminals to suffer we're here to work for a living. the government says they're winning the fight against the fires and that there's been a drop in the past days but in spite of the latest efforts the brazilian amazon continues to burn. many say call to develop the region is to blame. the president says he's now willing to talk to leaders of the european union that have condemned his environmental policy. a phone call with angela merkel is

jupiter she began with a certain tone but then went back to normal i'm ready to talk but some people accept the america wrong alessi apologizes about our sovereignty other the amazon then i'll talk to him. international pressure is what has forced the president to take some type of action to prevent intentional fires in amazonia fires that until now nobody seems to be able to stop. the saddle and bottle the law. and let's take you through some of the headlines here and al-jazeera now made india nearly 2000000 people in the state have been excluded from a citizens' register and could be left stateless have to prove they're not foreigners or face detention critics say muslims are being targeted the indian government says it's identifying illegal bangladeshi migrants priyanka gupta

reports from the state more than 1900000 people have been left out of a sense updated finally register of citizens that means they will now have to appeal to foreigners tribunals with evidence to prove that they are indian the decision on citizenship will be decided by foreigners tribe you know the of course have the right to appeal it high court and supreme court but it is expected to be a long legal process the government says about 200 foreigners tribe you know will start operating the coming few days and that number could increase to up to 1000 tens of thousands of protesters are blocking traffic in central hong kong in the violence of a police ban and despite pouring rain it's the 13th successive weekend of mass protests police cited security concerns for a joint think commission for the latest mass rally us secretary of state mike pompei o says he has reliable evidence of iranian all tankers heading to syria

despite iran promising the adrian one would stay away after being released from to brawl to earlier this month. hurrican dorian has strengthened to a category 4 storm which forecasters describe as extremely dangerous it's gaining momentum as it tracks towards the u.s. east coast with wind speeds of more than 180 kilometers an hour evacuations have been ordered in the bahamas while a state of emergency has been declared for the u.s. state of florida and brazilian delegation including the foreign minister in present day and also now as sun there in the u.s. to discuss aid for fighting the fires in the amazon the blazes keep burning this by the 60 day ban on fires posed by both solara initially rejected an offer of 20000000 dollars in help from the g 7 nations after a war of words with the french president it's now time for the listening post stay

with us here on al-jazeera. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so now. i'll just bring in the news and current from that matter. out to c.n.n. . dot. com coming up oh no this was. just a question. that i. thought ok way. out of the box. hello i'm richard gere's bird and you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week the communications shutdown in kashmir how can journalists get the story out when the blackout means most kashmiris can't even communicate with each other with 4 reporters murdered over the

past month mexico is now the deadliest place in the world to be a journalist politics mixes with organized crime in albania and reporters there are in danger plus the internet. where the online search for a cure can be worse than the imaginary disease so we began with one of the most sweeping and lasting communications blackouts of the internet age india's attempt to silence the people of kashmir when prime minister narendra modi made good on his election promise to revoke article 370 of the indian constitution he swept away what little remained of kashmiri autonomy the region officially called jamu and kashmir in india is now set to come under complete control of the government in new delhi more indian troops have flooded it and communications have been cut off a near total shut down of the internet mobile phones and landlines a blackout that is now into its 4th week 2 distinct news narratives of sense.

emerged indian outlets particularly its plethora of 24 hour t.v. news channels say the situation in kashmir is under control and there has been a little resistance then there are the handful of indian outlets and numerous international news organizations including this one saying that that is definitely not the case our starting point this week is the kashmiri capital. region locked down. millions of people with their communications blacked out. kashmir was already heavily militarized when the indian government sent in 10000 more troops in early august because of what it called an imminent terrorist threat it turns out the modi government had other reasons. days later the media create after imposing

a communications blackout new delhi announced it was stripping kashmir of its autonomy. over the next few days we had our producer in srinagar film reactions from kashmiris in this age of instant communication it took us 2 and a half weeks to get the video because with no internet no connection to the outside world our producer had to fly to new delhi to upload the interviews he conducted however are in no way dated because very little has changed. because. of. the engine ordinance here if the company. there is. that i know this. right now and you are not able. i mean this is not

a war that they want to go to but i know. when the. semantical medical. one of the in the you. know government blocks internet access is frequently as india's does $159.00 times over a 3 year period far more than pakistan syria turkey iran and egypt combined according to the delhi based software freedom legal center more than half of india's regional internet blackouts have been imposed on kashmir including 55 this year alone what is unprecedented however is the scope of this war and the duration 3 and a half weeks and counting they've been cut off sometimes sometimes a couple of days even if they cut off broadband they have been other ways of getting through this is the 1st time that everything has been cut off landlines

mobile phones while internet broadband. there's nothing so what used to happen is when there was an encounter between you know pakistan sponsored terrorists and the jane good police or the army they used to shop in that of that particular district all that particular area but this time without considering that there could be some kind of violence into that it was shut down forms were shut down and it's been more than 3 weeks now so yes the severity certainly is massive and never seen before. ever since 947 when india and pakistan gained their independence from britain kashmir has been disputed territory in 1950 india agreed to amend its constitution to grant the part of kashmir that it ministers india's only a muslim majority state a degree of autonomy. one. prime minister narendra modi has consistently appealed to nationalists by promising to rescind that part of the constitution

article 370 and allow. india to take full control of kashmir modi's brand of hindu nationalism gets turbo charged on the indian airwaves by hundreds of 24 hour t.v. news channels most of which have echoed the government's narrative on this story that the situation in kashmir is called and peaceful. fresh on. the street like normal has become the key word a kind of mantra favorite job the streets. but the question is. if you are a reporter for 13 you shall know and you've been given very specific by your channel by our editors or what you can and cannot sure you're not obviously going to dig for stories for than that some of our colleagues spoke to these t.v. journalists and asked them if they had been to several of the areas have seen

a good that we were visiting and they all said no so if you are not visiting more than a few specific areas you obviously not going to report on protests you're going to see that everything is normal indian media from the time of independence was part of nation building project and has been part of india's nation building exercise all through these years all the last few years nationalism fitri autism militarism. as one of the see if you're not with ours if you're against us. in the news channels do not limit they're with us or against us approach to india they use the same tactic against other news organizations trying to cover kashmir the international ones like the new york times al-jazeera and britain's b.b.c. the b.b.c.

. it seems to me it's been caught redhanded. how much of the point at the borders junction. in time management of the b.b.c. for shaming them yet again 4 days into the blackout the b.b.c. reuters and al-jazeera are all reported that security forces in srinagar fired tear gas and rifle pellets at crowds of protesters the modi government through its ministry of home affairs called that story fabricated. after the b.b.c. posted video of the armrest complete with the sound of gunfire the government changed its tune but only partially admitting there had been a small protest involving miscreants but that no shots had been fired. in government at the time decided to call it it's a fake radio the b.b.c. stood by this time they said this is

a real deal for to protest from. a lot of the indian media especially the electronic media especially the t.v. media was saying everything is normal in me for consumption of indian masses because that's what the messaging from the state is we have done this and that is not a distance to this which is just the opposite as that video showed the new york times or the washington post of the b.b.c. or the other is eat up we'll immediately sure you would use a while. of people being. it's not like that since august 5th this is into the open article 370 there hasn't been a single death due to any of the so-called human rights violations of the security forces so how can any international publication be to give you a print justify their report. the short answer is because we don't really know who's been killed or how many that's what communications

blackouts do they stop the full story. from getting out what few images the world has seen kashmiris protesting hospitalized blinded by pellet fire put the lie to the modi government's normal narrative the one parroted by so many news outlets falling over themselves to support a government in new delhi they are supposed to hold to account it's not just me if you want to see if the history of what these channels have been seen on significant issues in the last few realized they seem to have begun mouthpieces of the government its ideology and strategy. they're not any longer or sort of independent observation watchdogs or information given as you often hear indians describe themselves as the world's largest democracy you'll hear that from government you'll hear that from me given the way the modi government is behaving and the way the media has basically lined up behind the car the 4th stage is this really

the world's largest democracy is it acting like ford is it has never acted as it has. carefully proven that in the diverse country the size of a continent you know you made it could be it has been the world's largest democracy but i once read an indian writer very good and right describe india as the world's greatest experiment but that also said that sadly the world's greatest experiment in democracy is failing. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers tarek enough tarak anyone reporting on the media knows how dangerous mexico can be for journalists more than 150 media workers have been killed there since the year 2000 and this past month feels like it's been open season on reporters there that's right richard last week and never scotland had

a meal was found dead in his hometown of to pelco about an hour's drive from mexico city he was stabbed to death qantas ran a local news site called observatory 0 does thought he is the force john that's killed in the past month one of 12 murdered this year and since i'm the oldest $2900.00 will only 13 become the deadliest year on record for mexican journalist and the problem isn't just the rate at which reporters in mexico are being murdered it's the virtually no one is being held accountable and punished the human rights organization article 19 puts the impunity rate for crimes against freedom of expression that's almost 100 percent i spoke of on a christina a while of from article 19 on the issue of impunity we stay here in article 19 that view needy. it's a. way to.
