operate. the f.e.c. is considered one of the frontline agencies combating election interference it was working to bolster transparency for online political ads the same ads used by russian operatives to manipulate voters on social media in 2016 there was no collusion whatsoever a justice department investigation found kremlin linked associates contacted the campaign of donald trump in 2016 even though authorities determined none of it was illegal we know different state actors and non-state actors could be trying some of the same things that were tried in 2016 or expanding that playbook to morrow the f.e.c. also investigates campaign finance violations and fines campaigns not following the law when it comes to so-called dark or secret money donations from potentially illegal sources but without a quorum the f.e.c. can't do its job we're dealing with

a situation where the money is pouring into the election more money than ever is coming into the presidential election the. oh actions right now no there's no one pouring over that to make sure the rules are being followed the influence of dark money on the 2020 us presidential election is expected to exceed $1000000000.00 and it's not clear when the f.e.c. will be fully staffed to investigate that spending that means that money attacking political candidates will continue to flow from the shadows denying us voters election transparency kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house. all right still ahead on al-jazeera serena williams falls short yet again in a grand slam final joe will be here with all the action as paul.

by outrage and spanning generations the row hinge of demonstrators gathered on the very day a widely criticised repatriation agreement between the governments of bangladesh and me and more was to begin the anger was all too apparent and the fear was palpable if you don't like we're so afraid that if they send one of us back to myanmar today tomorrow they'll send back 10 and the day after tomorrow they'll send back 2030 or if we were given citizenship in myanmar then there would be no need to take us back there we would go back on our own we must remember the range of among the most persecuted minorities in the world od 3 months of protests on an

unprecedented scale that would virtually paralyzed hong kong what began as opposition to an extradition escalated into a broader pro-democracy movement so how and why did this crisis develop and what would follow in the 2nd of 2 special reports people in power examines the cool susan possible consequences of hong kong summer of defiance on al-jazeera. donald trump cancels a secret meeting with the taliban in the u.s. over an attack in kabul that killed an american soldier. play watching al-jazeera live from doha with me for the backseat or also ahead a new breakfast it problem for you can't promise a boy's johnson

a 2nd minister place his cabinet accusing him of political vandalism past wanting washington's attention thousands march on the u.s. consulate in hong kong calling for congress to pass a bill that could help that protests and noise since are new to. how swarms of locusts helping fight the shortage of food in yemen. thank you very much for joining us a secret meeting involving donald trump and taliban officials in the u.s. has been called off hours before it was due to take place the u.s. president says it was being canceled because of a deadly attack in kabul last week and the afghan president has appeared to welcome the mall's from tweeted late saturday unbeknownst to almost everyone the major taliban leaders and separately the president of afghanistan were going to secretly meet with me at camp david on sunday unfortunately in order to build force they have rage they admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great great

soldiers and 11 other people i eat mediately called off peace negotiations he says while the taliban claimed responsibility for thursday's suicide bomb attack saying a foreign military convoy was targeted the blast destroyed cars and shops not far from the u.s. embassy and the headquarters a gonna stand international military force there's been no letup in attacks despite taliban and u.s. negotiators reporting progress in months of talks hosted by qatar al-jazeera tony berkeley has more from afghanistan's capital kabul. privately i think the afghan government is pleased that these talks are being canceled but officially they are thanking the americans for their efforts in these peace negotiations and they have stressed that the only way to getting a meaningful peace in afghanistan is through nonviolence they want the taliban to stop fighting they want to ceasefire something that has never been agreed between the americans and the taliban and they want to hold direct talks with the taliban

this is something the taliban has always refused they call the afghan government a puppet of the americans and they refused to talk to them of course with this draft peace agreement if it was signed it would then lead to direct talks in some form with the afghan government but there are concerns now the afghan government wants an end to the what the fighting it wants then meaningful talks to go ahead and the big question is where does this now leave us the taliban we understand are having high level meetings of their own they can go 2 ways they can either say yes hang on the americans are serious let's go back to the negotiating table with something more to offer because so far they could see did very little or it can lead to an escalation of the conflict everyone here has been concerned at the pace of these peace negotiations it had 9 meetings in a year quite an achievement getting them around the table in the 1st place but the americans have being accepting too little from the taliban that's the overriding opinion so they want more from the taliban before we get

a meaningful peace but there is still here now an edge to this city people are concerned that the attacks which have increased in the recent days and weeks may increase even further. and desire kadima is director of center for peace and development studies and is also a former adviser to the afghan high peace council he says all sides in the peace deal have committed their share of mistakes halting the chance of permanent peace. well i think the snarky in hockey street from donald trump is not something new for afghans and for the word do you have such kind of experience not korea with kim jong all with iran in pakistan some they call him friend and sometimes a colleague in the me i think he will reverse back his comment guarding the peace i will not call it love because it's a cancellation or terminations i will call the layer suspension of the talk the taliban leadership and also the american side and also the afghan government all

these 3 sides committed a number of strategic dog goals in the stakes and neither side played the decent truth so far in the peace deal all of them are saying that peace should be my way or highway there should be dear option or no option that's a mistake committed by all but now if we want to have a permanent peace we have to be conceding incentive for all all the time we say what do you have done instead of asking what we have done what are you are giving for it we are giving these critical questions are not asked by by each other so we have to be a little bit sober or indecent in such kind of complicated complex conflict situation it's not happening right now. another british government minister has created a cabinet of from it's a boris johnson over his pranks at strategy amber rudd who was work and pensions secretary says she no longer believes the object of his government is to get

a deal she had voted to stay in the european union in the backseat referendum 3 years ago rudd told the b.b.c. she resigned because too much of the government's banning is going into a no deal yet. i have not seen enough what going into actually trying to get a deal when earlier in the week i asked number 10 for a summary of what the planning was for actually getting a deal i was sent a one page summary so it's the combination of the fact that there's not enough we're going to actually getting a deal which is i think is and is not what the prime minister signed up to try to do and secondly the expulsion of 21 of my colleagues who are good moderate conservatives alex or voyager is director of ascent of a bracks in studies at birmingham city university he says boys johnson is running out of options and may be forced to resign if we really want to put in context the previous significance of this with the implosion of the conservative party is that ken clarke the longest serving in the stuart life has made it clear he would rather

support jeremy corgan as labor leader the prime minister at least in the forefront really is that severe the upshot of this is there is not a condiment. or don't get the election he wants next up the bill an amendment to get the extension from brussels to into general use a sort of minimum looks set to become law on monday so he's really got a face that 2 options he can either be signed and go to the queen and asked of. us very cool to try and form a government and agree for cryo. or be a great defeat he needs to go down the line that you were refused because you know cross very extensive across new york city is really running out of that i'm going to marry now your groceries on your program and that run for majority to stave off feel a bit of an election. in other world news a protest started out peacefully in central hong kong has descended into chaos protesters have set barricades on fire and brought to major roads they also smashed
