is it somehow some of the residents are well over these demonstrations with the power lines and not only the traffic or the vehicles but also in the air some of the airport i mean just a few weeks ago it was quiet for a couple of days there were thousands of a lot of landing in the passing as a result so to my they take that actually get it been easier thank you once in our life i mean one of the busiest nobody was lovely was economic disruption and that's what i just want to try to get out of my eyes of sending a message and that's to focus on economic destruction it been very strategic in the way they do take these protests they've been having demonstrations outside mine buildings like the justice building on the legal buildings outside let's accountability they've been brought up iraq in defiance of these protests been to try to show their anger and their opposition to this extradition bill but it's also morphed into a wider movement these people are asking for greater democracy what they believe don't honest and that hand out right hand over ranks but when the british britain

handed it back to china so i'm not so sad state that we've had a couple of helicopters flying very much higher the situation that's something you generally the helicopters fly down the power of the harbor and at this stage tonight would seem to helicopters hovering i've essentially yet to clarify as to who is running those helicopters been suggestions out the state police but big place all right sara thanks for that let's explain what's going on on the right side of the screen there that is one child near the police headquarters there you can see what you'll see the bits of metal and plastic with flames going on right now some kind of barricade which the protesters have bill and then set on fire with fire to obviously because it's close to the police headquarters in one china area that's about 10 minutes walk from where our correspondents have been covering the events that. the clashes that were going on near the legislative

council that probably explains why we've seen what sara was talking about the deployment of the police and riot police away from the legislative council area probably heading to where the fire is now as we can see on our screen now burning at a barricade near police headquarters and one chaya. we've got some other breaking news going on today folks as bring you the world from sudan where are a judge has formally charged deposed president on one of the shia ex-president with corruption and possession of illicit currency now bashir told the court he did in fact receive $25000000.00 from the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man but he says he didn't use the money for any private purposes but she is lawyer says his client denies still denies all the charges against him. but morgan joins us now

live from called him how significant is this now that he's actually admitting that he received money from the home of been some of the crown prince of saudi arabia. i mean he did say that in court for the 1st time this is the 3rd hearing that is that that has happened just over an hour ago and this trial where his charge for corruption and illegal possession of foreign currency he said that the crown prince mohammed bin someone did not want him to mention that he got the money from him and he said that it was given to him in his personal capacity and not as the president of sudan back then and he said that he did not use it for any personal reasons or personal causes he mentioned that he paid $5000000.00 to the rapid support forces which it was one of the teams that one of the army armed groups that actually helped out start from the president are going to show you he also said that he gave $4000000.00 to a university here in sudan and about 2 $1000000.00 to the military hospital but he

says that there is no record and there will be no record if the investigations continue that he used it in his personal capacity now it's the 1st time as i said that he spoke in court after 3 weeks of trial it's expected to go on next week and until a verdict is reached but let's remember what he faces according to the judge if he's convicted he will be he's going to be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison and there will be fines to pay which is under the state of emergency laws that he himself put down and his head of defense being put down when he was head of assembly so it looks like those laws that they put down when they were still in power is the one that is coming back to haunt them and his judges are saying that he's pleading he's feel he's not guilty he's innocent and that he will come out of this and your charge here the something that needs to be clarified here though i'm wondering if the defense is explaining their narrative a little better here they're saying if career. actually bashir said he received

this money from the crown prince of saudi arabian but not in his capacity as president of sudan and yet. he didn't use it for any personal things he so why was he sent this money and why didn't he use it in a personal capacity if he was sent it in a personal capacity. well he said that he didn't want to turn down the money because he did not want to his words in court today he did not want to upset a country that had special relations with sudan but he also said that he wasn't sure why it was given in the 1st place he said that when the crown crown prince sent him the money he said use it as you see fit and he did not feel like he needed to spend it in a personal capacity he said at that time the country was going through a week shortage so he gave it to some companies to try to bring the country out of crisis and he said again his words used for public interest but he didn't specify why exactly he received the money in the 1st place he also didn't give

a big sack date to when that money was it was received he said but again he has the right to receive money as head of his as head of state and as a person that something his lawyers also argued that he has the right to do so as head of state with immunity at that time so it's a bit of a confusion here as to why this money was given when it was given but the house is not confusing he said that the office manager of the crown prince contacted his office manager who is expected to testify next week and said that there is a special gift which was sent on board of a special plane that landed on her to him and then went to his house and so it looks like there's a lot of complex informations and only the witnesses who will be testifying in the coming weeks will be able to clarify exactly what went down and then the judges would be able to decide whether the former president is innocent or guilty. or it's going to be definitely interesting to watch this trial as it unfolds thanks so much of morgan there from khartoum. and still ahead on al-jazeera shutting down

streets in the u.k. protest organizers hope hundreds of thousands will turn out to demonstrate against the suspension of parliament. hello there we have been saying since flight about it conditions across much of japan the some clouds you see streaming in from the west and that is actually some rain pushing in but it's really going to be across into key issue so at least we've got much of honshu and also mostly dry over the next couple of days also a lot of also we see quite a bit of rain in your forecast 22 celsius for you on sunday and not a bad sunday across the korean peninsula but that rain across the southwest it does extend further as we head into beginning of the work week certainly cloudy skies across much of the korean peninsula then we had for that to the south this of course is where we have seen the bulk of the rains along the south coast of china

parliament there are other protests happening in the major cities of the u.k. on saturday but over the next week as well dozens of demonstrations are being planned and that really does tell you about the strength of feeling that there is it's not just remain group see we've got left wing grassroots groups we've got environmental campaigners and a whole host of groups as you say some of them just hoping to march in to rally others calling for civil disobedience they're not really giving that that tactics away right now but i think you can expect a lot more of this kind of street action in the days to come. in the team take us through the political process of what we expect to happen now we know pollens been suspended and the opposition have been rallying to try and do something walt will that next something be do we think. women m.p.'s come back to parliament on tuesday time is extremely tight as you are

saying now there are at least 50 who have signed a letter saying that a parliament has suspended its val's it's an alternative parliament an occupation if you like but beyond that there are a number of legal challenges there's one on tuesday here in london led by the other well known lawyer gina miller former prime minister john major is that in his support so that another legal challenge in the courts. in scotland another one in northern ireland so it's around the country and some very well known names of parts of legal challenges that are saying that boris johnson is misusing his howitzer prorogue parliament because he's not doing it in the in the. for the benefit of the healthy functioning of democracy but rather so actually parliamentary democracy he says he's just simply preparing for a queen's speech it's business as usual there will be time to debate what happens

over breakfast he's also saying though that at the same time if there is no deal it's a must lead by the 31st of october even if it's without a deal and the prospect of that that's really worrying people here and businesses across the country there's a big debate about exactly whether or not it's legal what he's doing but there's no doubt as to how cone to push the actual policy is certainly all right now. in the midst of it all there and on that in the protests. i'm india nearly 2000000 people have been excluded from a citizen's register and could be left staying close as a result will have to prove they're not foreigners or face detention the national register of citizens was created in 1951 to determine who came to the state before may bring bangladesh declared independence from pakistan some state is now on high alert thanks for security forces being deployed. to reports from.

more than 1900000 people have been left out of asylums updater 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 they 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 $200.00 foreigners tribe you know will start operating the coming few days and that number could increase to up to 1000 additional staff have also been appointed they're also promising legal aid for vulnerable or marginalized communities or different villages and towns but it's a mammoth process and this n.r.c. list seems to be just the beginning of what is likely to be a long drawn out legal process deciding citizenship of these more than 1900000000 people senior b.g.p. minister ahead of the draft ahead of that list being published has already voiced

concerns about the fate of genuine citizens who might be left out and they are saying that they want to make sure that indians are not left out of the final list and they have also promised support to all these people who might appear in foreigners tribunals amnesty international meanwhile has come up with a statement voicing concerns about reports about decisions of foreigners tribunals that they have heard are. biased as well as discriminatory. dorian is strengthened to a category 4 storm which forecasters describe as extremely dangerous it's gaining momentum as it tracks down towards the east coast of the united states 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 in florida and d.c. correspondent jake gray has more from cocoa beach florida. but it looks like landfall at this point will be sometime late in the morning or early afternoon

tuesday this 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 it does make that 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 is a high tension for millions up and down the coast because we just don't know at this point where this storm is going to strike look at 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 this 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. and take you through some of the headlines we're following here on al-jazeera those alife pictures coming in from hong kong spies blazing there at makeshift barricades put up by protesters in one child district near the police station protesters and the gathered around the legislative buildings they threw petrol bombs towards the riot police away and see now those right police redeployed to confront those protesters. while in hey following the day's events.

allies become enemies in yemen's war the united arab emirates accused of bombing saudi government troops to help separatists in the south can the coalition between the 2 gulf nations survive such a rift this is inside story. hello and welcome to the show i'm sam is a that now is threatening the saudi and morality coalition fighting the war in

yemen the 2 gulf allies are supposed to be on the same side but the u.a.e. is accused of attacking the government that the coalition is trying to restore yemen's internationally recognized president says u.s. warplanes bombed government troops around aden separatists trained by their moralities taken over the southern city we have a new government is urging saudi arabia and the united nations to intervene but the u.a.e. says it only tugs it what it calls terrorists alexei o'brien has more. this is said to be the aftermath of strikes in aden yemen internationally recognized government is furious the u.s. bombed its positions. allowing separatists to retake territory that lost to saudi backed government forces 24 hours. both sides pulling in reinforcements to battle

over a divided south and city in a country fractured by years of war like at minimal loss of all aid and governorates are safe now we're dealing with some pockets and terrorist hideouts which are sadly involved with what is cold the legal government. yemen's government can damage the u.a.e. bombing of its forces saying it had caused hundreds of deaths and injuries in a statement its defense ministry said it held the emirates responsible for what it called a blatant aggression and president albert rubber man so how to saudi arabia to intervene again separate us from the southern transitional council a pass at the saudi iraqi coalition that's fighting hooty rebels less than 3 weeks ago they took over the city of aden the state of the saudi backed internationally recognized yemeni government. on wednesday government forces took the nearby coastal town of zinjibar before pushing into aden on thursday though they withdrew

again president harry said it was to spare the city and its people know what label would not only our situation is good in the troops morale is high we're heading to be on the subway and we will free every inch of the southern territory the violence has exposed an apparent rift in the saudi u.a.e. coalition each country backing opposing sides in southern yemen which was a separate country until 990 the saudis and the marauders are divided on this issues because for this from a saudi perspective what they had always wanted is to ensure that they who are not the threat that can operate across the border and launch attacks or its rocket attacks or or drone attacks into saudi arabia what the united arab emirates wants to do instead of course is to establish an independent state and these 2 objectives to do not align with the any governments asked for the united nations to meet on the iraqi strikes 60000 people have left the city batanes of thousands remain in

harm's way as the fighting intensifies alexia brian al jazeera. writes bring in our panel into the show now joining us from new york city a hug. absalom man director of the office of foreign affairs for the southern transitional council in new york city from our man has an bharati professor of international relations at the university of jordan and from london also on skype is elizabeth kendal senior research fellow at pembroke college at the university of oxford welcome to all of you in the show let me start with elizabeth in the u.k. is the coalition now falling apart it's difficult how it can be perceived as not falling apart at this point i think the latest airstrikes by the united arab emirates are stepped change in the clashes in the south and may now be time to start calling them a war because there are only one of 3 scenarios that could have happened either the

u.a.e. did not consult saudi about these strikes and that means the coalition is falling apart or the u.a.e. did consult saudi and saudi gave it the go ahead which means that saudi and the yemen government a falling apart and assert possibility is that the u.a.e. consulted saudi and saudi refused in which case the coalition is falling apart so you know you're a may have acted unilaterally but even if it didn't it means the coalition is falling apart or it were lizabeth is open for us i guess 3 beautifully summed up scenarios there has to which one do you think it's most is most likely were the saudis on board with this or caught out of this latest action. all i think you know from the get go the saudis have a different agenda and yemen and obviously the saudis are not on board but at the same time i think is blackmailing saudi arabia because they know that riyadh needs

them in their coalition for their appearance of having a coalition and i think that think united arab emirates work unilaterally in order to reinforce. whatever they have in 7 yemen they want to affect the kind of a separation in yemen and they find in the. transitional council as a tool to further the interest in yemen and that is obvious so i'm not saying that the area is an board like it agrees on everything but probably doesn't have what it takes to say no to the 2 i would have right now and i made that kind of international crisis you know especially the do strategic development with you know if that thing if that's ok let me jump in hunston i will be more that if if that if that's the case what does that mean ultimately in terms of the saudi coordination will will the u.a.e. be ejected from this coalition as the how the government one point was calling for

all the saudis have to look the other way and try and keep on board. i think for the time being there's no correlation that we talk about college but in college in that we knew at the very beginning there was the one they're fighting the hotel in the fighting the hoti the is fighting its own war. for their own interests. so we talk about ecology and the one that we know the hell we led coalition or the out of college in is no longer there now it's only united arab emirates and saudi arabia and we can see now is a kind of a clash between their own interests now when the saudi arabia's going to get them as i don't know but i think it's an ultimate. scenery that we probably see playing out soon all right let's we could bring in a huddle of your from of course the southern transitional council what's known as the s.t.c.

it's the action by southern forces which you're affiliated with which has brought us to this point in yemen do you agree that you are responsible now for the collapse of this coalition that's been fighting supposedly on the same side against the who sees. no actually i completely disagree with the introduction i disagree with thier guess beakers regarding the fall of the call ation this is a collaborated coalition unit that goes through a operation or operates from an operation room. through a rigorous process before approving any specific detailed airstrikes so the u.a.e. and the. saudi arabia are. they are working together on every front whether it is with the anti-roll the front

or the anti extreme extreme islam front ok but let me just as well now that i've explained this to me according to what you're describing them the saudis would have known that the u.a.e. is about to launch an strikes against kerry what the u.s. is calling terrorists but in fact what we're hearing from the how the government is these are strikes on the yemeni government if that's the case at all saying saudi arabia is approved or is in line with an strikes on the very government is hosting in riyadh that doesn't make a lot of sense doesn't it. well it's a little more complicated than that for over the past 4 years or for 4 years plus the saudi led coalition has been working. effortless with. working. to to. fight the anti to fight the ots to

fight extremism and fortunately the legitimate government is actually incorporating some of these extremist factions extremists or the radicals to the islam already into the legitimate government so the. reactivating what would they have the any government is backpedaling by. after after raid these counter-terrorism in south yemen specifically ok i'm actually not sorry to interrupt you again how they're i really want to distill what you're bringing to the show this plan what it sounds like you're saying right now is the sun s.t.c. the saudis and the immoralities are lining up against the yemeni government is that what you're telling viewers of this show because there are many gov that includes as you say stream it's. that is incorrect we are not against the government as you have just said the injected with your name is from the islam so

so correct it where we're fighting the extremism that has been injected or whether they have hijacked the yemeni government unfortunately while everybody was clued in the saudi led coalition the s.t.c. saddam forces have been fighting extremism the internationally recognized government has really regrouped end quote paraded them into their units where that is not going to be accepted so fighting extremism whether they are part of the government is a regional security and that is let me all know how to bring i can i or let me bring elizabeth back into it however you slice it and dice it listening to what and how to saying that it does sound like there is conflict as you start out by saying within the coalition at this point with everyone pointing to the other one is harvesting the extremists. yes there clearly is conflict

and i don't think it holds water to say that everyone's on board with this and that simply fighting extremism these are very serious air strikes many many many people were killed and they were from the government forces i think this highlights a problem of the whole rhetoric on the war on terror that was coined obviously initially by the united states because it provides cover for what is ultimately a political agenda now it's true that there has been an uptick in terrorist violence in yemen in august we've had for example more than double the monthly average of attacks by al-qaeda and in fact if you look at whom they've been targeting then the targeting has been very strongly against the southern forces but nonetheless i think one does need to remain skeptical for example in shabwah that they know.
