8:32 am
possible almost impossible to get legislation which would bind the government into asking for an extension but you ask why i don't trust and the reason i don't trust this man is because just recently he lied about whether he wanted to probe parliament he said he didn't believe in such procedures and he lied about the $350000000000.00 pounds that would be coming to the n.h.s. as a result of leaving the e.u. complete nonsense accepted now that it was just a lie and this is a man who is a serial liar and we cannot trust our democracy to know the actions not just on the streets there are a number of legal challenges going on it england and scotland under northern ireland that due to wrap up next week and in parliament itself and things who are really worried about a no deal price set are trying to figure out their best tactics in the 1st instance they've agreed to try legislation to force the government perhaps to seek an extension to article 50 beyond the end of october but it still might come to
8:33 am
a vote of no confidence in the government a number of conservative politicians say the will vote against their own government but it's unclear whether they do at the moment have the numbers and that's why so many people here are extremely angry about what the government's doing right now greece is transferring refugees from a silence to the mainland then will speed up the deportation process for asylum seekers whose applications are rejected there's been a surge in the numbers of people trying to reach greece. and it spirals pressure on already overcrowded island camps such as this one in the last bus. people still want to stick security my activists watch spork on the island have told me that the lot of them are from afghanistan but they're also syrians coming it's supposed they really really feel scared that they don't consider turkey to be a safe country for them as women tend repeatedly so this is where they are seeking
8:34 am
to safety the deal has made the island open presents for the people who are stranded there and then you government does not transfer quite many of them since it came into power so that transfers were diminished here in the summer so that has also caused this kind of very difficult situation where we have nearly 11000 people stranded in the morea hold sport in dire conditions. protesters in moscow have again condemned the exclusion of independent then opposition candidates for next month's elections they gathered again even though the government banned the demonstration riot police attacked and arrested hundreds of people at the last one several weeks ago and has more from moscow. for if that's what they're for quite a remark right here in moscow a note from a. local you know i don't already have ok. we've got

this question lou they have put this trench logic interim lines that we can't really in our sit in that they can refuse to give permission to our events but only need to notify them about a rally and not to ask for their permission the fact that there were no provocations from the government should be normal people from all walks of life but especially also young people a 20 year old student has for a couple of weeks already for what the police described as rioting and other people said it was just peacefully protesting and he was calling on people to join the protests on the you tube channel and that's also one of the reasons people are here not only to ask these prisoners to be to release but also for their rights to be able to speak out anyone who wanted is not there not even though i work for the state as a teacher i can't stay silent they pressure us they don't let us speak out i can't keep silent when i keep seeing people being arrested for nothing they violate our constitutional rights by fabricating articles up the police stood back for
8:36 am
a while and that thousands of people protest here in this uncensored rally we have now right and the minds of people to leave the so patient and they're about to pull everyone. the head of the united nations has visited the frontline of the epidemic in the democratic republic of congo antonio terrorised health care workers and peacekeepers in north kivu province where the latest outbreak began a year ago the world health organization says 2000 people have died from the disease at a time. some clinics have killed dozens of health. treatment athletes nothing wrong . here there is maize ols there is malaria cholera and now the terrible tragedy of the ball we stand with the congolese authority and the congolese people to try to respond well to all of these challenges i thank you very much for your kindness and i reaffirm that this visit is a visit of solidarity and to express admiration for the congolese people. now donald trump vowed to boost u.s.

8:39 am
a fairly short period of time china and the united states of raise tariffs on one another in a back and forth trade dispute that continues to escalate and threatens the global economy so why is it so hard for president trump to complete it deal he has shown themselves to be not a credible negotiating partner and that's not how you close deals but how that's how you get people to walk away from the table president trumps record on trade has become a political liability with fears of a global recession investors are nervous and u.s. farmers hit hard by chinese tariffs are losing hope that's a problem for trump and unless resolved could hurt his chances for reelection kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house have been more eruptions from mexico's public as a petal volcano hurling rock in the sky southwest of the capital of all came has been particularly active in recent months about 25000000 people live within 100

kilometers south of the crater. time now for sports. thank you very much 22 year old. has been killed in a horrific accident during a formula to race in belgium last year's g p 3 champion hit a tire barrier at almost 260 kilometers per hour he's caught in spun back into the path of one man well. he was unable to avoid the frenchman and his cost side on subsequently ripping it in half the race was abandoned following the crash as was sunday's 2nd race which was due to be held before the formula one grand prix. and one champ lewis hamilton paid tribute on social media saying that and one was a hero as far as he was concerned for taking the risk he did to chase these dreams and hamilton was lucky not to be injured in his own high speed crash at spa he almost missed qualifying and after crashing heavily into the final practice session
8:41 am
he's mechanics had just 2 hours to completely repair the front end of his car and they finished with the 1st qualifying session already underway hamilton will start from 3rd behind an all ferrari front row of the charlotte clare secured pole position 7 tenths of a 2nd ahead of sebastian vettel. is painful because you know how many people worked so hard to build those parts and then you know how hard the guys work to put the car to get there and i knew that going to be a tough challenge but you know my my guys at the focus they always work and give 110 percent and i'm so grateful for that and really trying to just pay them back with a good qualifying session so considering i meant to be 3 and a lot of the one actually really. liverpool have maintained a 100 percent winning start to the english premier league the season on saturday a chris would only go together with some audio manet and rebirth of amino golds wrapped up a 3 no win against burnley that's 4 wins from 4 as part of a club record run of 13 straight league wins now. but this team
8:42 am
creates wants to write their own stories and want to create their own history and they are doing and doing and doing so that it can but that's one is a number of 13 games in a row the other thing is in the 13th game of serious showing the attitude to boys showed today that makes it that makes it all you have to show. respect to all opponents in the boys do that with that attitude. it's been far from a record store for manchester united they have now won just one of their 1st 4 games that's after they were held to a 11 draw by southampton daniel james scored for united early in the 1st off but yet it vesta god equalized and even when they went down to tame in southampton held on to share the points. we've dominated the last 3 games we know that we are on the right track getting used to that way of playing in the last 3 games they haven't given us many points in return but we're getting there we're getting better and
8:43 am
better. playing this way and we've got to get used to the old team that will get used to it. for today was a matter of we just got the game we wanted we were winning one nil that's when you can get a counter-attack if all. chelsea thought they were on their way to a regulation victory against united to tammy abraham goals gave the blues the lead but the premier league new boys fought back and thanks to a late could zuma own goal were able to secure a 22 draw. it's not difference it's not differences can see in the same. lack of concentration of mistakes so there goes a moment you defend it same as much you attack as a tame so we can say because we switch off there were plenty of goals in the premier league's other afternoon games leicester were too strong a term for bournemouth newcastle and watford played out a $11.00 draw goals from kevin the brain and sergio agüero and should manchester city be brighton well they were also wins the crystal palace and west ham united.

8:46 am
thank you very much for that to stay with us on al-jazeera plenty of news coming out by concluding the latest from texas where at least 5 people have been killed in a shooting in our death sat we'll have an update with our correspondents in the united states in just a few minutes to stay with us. finally
8:47 am
finished. a nation where corruption is endemic embroiled in a battle to hold the power. has this radical
8:48 am
transformation occur. to me that if you were shedding light on the remaining pressing for change and the unconventional methods to eliminate corruption remain people on al-jazeera. at least 5 people are dead and more than 20 injured after a shooting in the west texas city of odessa. will have the latest in very in a very short while i'm fully back here this is al jazeera live from doha coming up protesters held petrol bombs at police who hit back with blue dyed water and baton
8:49 am
searing the latest chaotic scenes in hong kong. u.s. attacks what it says was an al qaeda links training camp in syria as it lay province killing at least 14 people and bracing for hurricane dorian the united states prepares for the powerful storm to make landfall. we begin with breaking news out of the united states where 5 people are dead and at least 21 injured after a mass shooting in the state of texas at least one shooter drove around the city of a desk firing at police say that suspect has been killed let's hear what police have to say. for civilian casualties we have at least 21 victims 21 shooting victims and at least 5 deceased at this point our situation
8:50 am
started about 317 this afternoon when i d.p.s. trooper attempted to stop a gold honda. when the devious troopers get the car start he was then shot by the argument of the car let's not speak to heidi's or castro in washington following this story for us heidi what's the latest is the situation under control now. that's hard to say right now foley the last update from the police chief of odessa was that he believed there was no longer an active shooter on the loose but in his words he said he was not 1000 percent sure of that the reason is because all these preliminary reports were that there may have been multiple shooters involved now that may have just been a case of chaos and inaccuracy zend the public panic in calling in various reports but the police did release on social media that there does not appear to be any remaining active shooters which would lead one to conclude that the one sole
8:51 am
suspect is indeed the man who is in his thirty's police described in a white man and having been killed in an exchange with officers as a lone shooter now as the police chief was saying this all began with what appeared to be a routine traffic stop but then the man shot the officer and then continued to shoot at random people along the road people on the road people who are motorists and 5 people or indeed killed along with 21 others who were injured not to mention 3 officers who were also kit by the bullets and this has been a terrible month of gun violence for the state of texas if you'll recall just 4 weeks ago there was another mass shooting in the border city of el paso where a white nationalist killed 22 people inside el paso's wal-mart and there have been some outcry for gun restrictions to be passed at the national level as
8:52 am
well as within the state of texas but actually the very opposite will take place because tomorrow fully in fact it will become easier to access guns in texas i was going to ask you what reaction the state is being in in texas it is likely to trigger i mean are people increasingly nervous about these shootings or you know they've just become blind date about it. right and that's a good question to ask especially in texas which is really the litmus test for how americans feel about their guns because this is a state that is very much traditionally supportive of the right to carry guns in texas you'll do you recall the open carry movement in texas it's in fact completely legal to carry a rifle of a down the streets of texas and indeed the state leaders have already issued statements saying they were praying for the victims there has not been
8:53 am
a word about possible gun restrictions president trump has also been on twitter saying that he is staying abreast of the developments here but what this all boils down to though is still very political action toward anything meaningful and restricting access to guns in texas nor across the country starting tomorrow as i was saying in texas this new litany of gun laws take effect which will actually allow people starting tomorrow to carry guns on school parking lots and into houses of worship and as far as the federal level well there was many cries for among the democrats for gun restrictions after what happened in el paso 4 weeks ago as well as the mass shooting in ohio that happened less than 24 hours later but nothing happened they left for recess members of congress are not in washington at the moment and when they return to the capitol on september 9th it's still an open question whether they'll see this latest shooting as more reason to take up action
8:54 am
on those pending bills to expand background checks on gun sales or as in the past after mass shootings in the u.s. whether they'll simply do nothing ali thank you for that heidi as you construct my forests in washington d.c. . in other world news hong kong has seen some of its most chaotic and intense clashes in months suffer protests some demonstrators how petrol bombs at police or retaliated with tear gas and water cannons spraying blue dye riot officers also song metro stations hearing and arresting people they describe as radical from hong kong rain hey has our report. this is become a weekend ritual in parts of hong kong street battles breaking out between anti-government protesters and police. but this was one of the most intense rounds of violence since the protests began almost 3 months ago. the day had started
8:55 am
peacefully the police rejected an application from organizers to hold a rally additionally it was just small religious and student groups that defied the ban we need to pay for homes sold off some time 1st. they also have the same idea but the numbers grew throughout the day as people paralyzed some of the city's busiest roads turning them into walkways. by doing so they risked a wrist but there was safety in numbers they shouted their familia cries of stand with hong kong and left their mark as they went but it was inevitable that this day would develop like so many others have in hong kong recently the violence started when some people stopped at the offices of the government which adjoins hong kong's parliament this is a building that they stormed back on the 1st of july so clearly once they came to this building the police were in no mood to muck around no move to allow them to
8:56 am
stay here and throw things at the building so that. fairly quickly. the protesters have developed a relatively new and dangerous tactic of throwing petrol bombs along with bricks and other objects on the other side police fired tear gas and deployed water cannons this time laced with dye. to try to mock those who had broken the law eventually those demonstrating moved on but the fight wasn't over. the protesters have retreated from the area around the legislative council conflicts but not very far coming to a place close to the headquarters of the hong kong police have blocked this road this intersection here and ship fire to the barricade taking things to a new level directions were designed to send a clear message to the police and the government far from being afraid they are intensifying they came pain and in doing so the city's crisis is worsening al-jazeera hong kong. zoo fang show is president of humanitarian china rights
8:57 am
advocacy organization he was also a student leader during the 198910 immense clay massacre he says the hong kong police are using violence to scare protesters the are trying to hire protesters all . they have been increasing right now in fact that what they did beating people indiscriminately on the. beach or what the rest they've. been trying to work on the work of crime you chaps and the police they've been savvy this week people most like make this a bystander and that's what's happening now point you the right to bear the hong kong people that's that make me not want to work that's why we're all going by i mean we're trying to find ways to escalate. the u.s.
8:58 am
says it's hit an al qaeda linked training camp in syria's rebel held it late province it happened not far from it live city at least 14 people have been killed the syrian army and its eye russia have been waging a crushing offensive to recapture its lead it began a cease fire early on saturday morning ben is smith is monitoring developments from had a techie syria border the u.s. led coalition is confirming that it targeted a building to the east of city that it says was connected with a group linked to al qaeda or a training facility in al jazeera sources on the ground we've spoken to sources who confirm that they say that this was a training center for this group connected with al qaida it encourage people from all ages young boys to teenage men to older men to come to training that's why we we have seen video where at least there is clearly one injured child in the video but that it was the issue with the sense of the all age groups the good it was
8:59 am
believed to be this training center for this al qaida connected group and it's an indication really of the concern not just that turkey hasn't of the russians have but also that the americans have that in this last rebel held part of syria the northwestern part of syria there are these hard core groups resisting conducting a last stand joshua landis is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says the u.s. is confused about its spawn a c. in syria i think it's up to mines on the one hand it continually asked syria not to move ahead and reconquer the syria which would cause all the al qaeda affiliated jihad as groups to be destroyed at the same time as it's picking off these groups it's worried about the humanitarian. consequences of syria's recapture of this region it doesn't want an outflow of refugees its allies saudi arabia turkey israel
9:00 am
do not want syria to be strengthened. and the united states wants to roll back iran so it wants to weaken our side as much as it can but at the same time it wants to destroy these jihad ists but it doesn't want assad to destroy them so it's a it's a bit of a confusing policy i'm a saying of course this is own where the turks want a buffer is the american zone it's the 30 percent of syria that the united states controls with its allies the syrian defense forces which are largely kurdish and anti turkish so turkey does not want them there it doesn't want the united states there it doesn't want the united states arming these turkish allies and it's it's threatening to move into.
