oil facilities we just impose the highest level of sanctions on iran central bank and sovereign wealth fund. all nations have a duty to. know responsible government should subsidize iran's bloodlust. iranian leaders have said they want to counter a new u.s. led naval coalition in the gulf that the pentagon says will help protect shipping from further attacks they ring is also want to find a way to avoid u.s. sanctions on iran's economic lifeline or the exports france has been working to save the 2015 nuclear deal that trump route through from 16 months ago the joint comprehensive plan of action allowed to iran to trade or in exchange for curbing its nuclear activities iran has been reducing its commitments to the deal saying european countries need to find a way around u.s. sanctions but european leaders appear to be growing increasingly frustrated with iran's failure to comply with parts of the deal u.s.

sanctions against iran's oil and banking sector taking their toll president rouhani may be calculating that the release of the state in peril will lead to some relief for iran struggling economy and show european leaders that engaging with iran can have positive outcomes aside al-jazeera that iran. the british prime minister has been referred to the independent police force talk of a claims of other claims of potential misconduct while he was london mayor boris johnson is facing accusations he allowed a u.s. businesswoman to join trade missions and receive sponsorship jennifer i currently who's a technology entrepreneur has given more than $150000.00 of public money and privileged access to $3.00 overseas trade missions led by mr johnson. well another round of bricks that talk has been taking place in brussels but still there are no concrete proposals from the u.k. the european union's chief breaks at the goetia michel bania held talks with both

his british counterpart and island's foreign minister both sides say they want a deal but there seems to be little progress an island has now accused the u.k. of not coming up with anything new it's a particular concern for ireland which is forecast to go into recession if the u.k. leaves the e.u. without a deal and has the latest. it's been an extraordinarily toxic week in british politics particularly after those weapons day confrontations in the house of commons between the prime minister boris johnson and in particular opposition m.p.'s boris johnson calling a piece of legislation which is designed to stop britain leaving the e.u. without a deal as a surrender act and that really incited an inflamed tempest on both sides of the house but away from the arguments and the rhetoric of there has been some actual negotiations taking place in brussels on friday the problem is that doesn't appear to have been any tangible progress from then we're going to hear from a couple of those people involved in meetings in brussels 1st of all the british

bracks it secretary stephen barclay i think there's still a long way to go i think we are coming to the moment of truth in these negotiations we will see if that's a political world and both sides will commit it to securing a deal we're committed to leaving on the 31st of all but that deal just to be with the backstop now those sound bites moments of truth long way to go if he repeated those in several answers it appeared that that was clearly the pre-prepared answer he was going to give no matter what the question but the problem is that the irish foreign minister simon covais was also in brussels and he had a very different take on the stage that the negotiations are at until there is a serious proposal in writing that can be the basis for a negotiation. then the gaps that are wide at the moment will remain. and time is running out so you can see it's not just differences in the tone of the rhetoric it's also big differences in the contents of what's being said and what's being

agreed or not agreed and remember all of this just 3 weeks until an e.u. summit takes place in brussels at which the hopes are a deal can finally be struck. the crowds enjoy and you feel for the middle east as the world athletics come to. business updates brought to you by qatar where we're going places to get our.

one place i'm saw exhibited here tool to. see that my federal cadence here i come. separates with them is beautiful you know to have this event does my 1st always watch on telly and just government watch if it's really so because these championships and normally held in august but on this occasion i've been shifted to the end of september in order to avoid the higher temperatures of cats all summer it does mean our plates are being asked to hit peak performance levels at a time when they're normally putting their feet to be end of the season. it's a move worth making according to the president of world athletics seb coe has been meeting his olympic counterpart thomas back in doha both men recognise the need to push the sports they represent beyond established boundaries our biggest challenge and we recognise that around the table is to maintain in both our organizations the

saliency. interest of relevance and excitement for what we're doing in sport and sport isn't actually uniquely our only competitor it's not without legs can sit there any longer saying well you know it's swimming or gymnastics it's the rest of the world and it's been that way for a long time it's the sprinters who can traditionally grab global attention and for the 1st time since 2003 the men won't have the same bolt lining up alongside them and the 1st season running in a stadium with a cool technology like that to be so cool you know you're from. and then all of a sudden you just feel the breeze is good i feel pretty good so i keep that in mind or for tomorrow. no use saying so does it feel strange lining up in a championship without it you know i mean you've got so many other athletes ready to run in their prime in themselves so that's where you really get focus on fans will see the 1st track medals of these championships handed out on saturday and the

richardson al-jazeera doha after dance at the stadium came to a close they don't know how waterfront hosted the opening ceremony 2000 athletes are over $200.00 countries are competing at these championships the mayor of catarrh and the head of the international olympic committee were among those welcoming it so. don't has waterfront also hosted the 1st medal of valor the women's marathon it was running late at night to try to help the runner was awarded the worst of the heat. is at the marathon course. they all came to. hot humid sticky we're about 15 kilometers away from the international off that it's very this is where all the road races are taking place as well as our opening ceremony but as i said you know the temperature about $34.00 degrees at the moment 67 percent humidity which are can about 7 percent above what is the aim to be comfortable about i've been wearing glasses all die and it's one of the thoughts

that we have to take them off because they were steaming up. in a matter of seconds but actually measures have been put in place to make sure that the athletes are well maybe not comfortable but certainly. in the road right through the extra refreshment point all of course because the actual medical staff on hand if any of the athletes actually require them but of course cats are now very much in the world spotlight after the world athletic charm we're going to have the fee for club world cup taking place in december and then of course the big $1.00 in 2033 when the fee for world cup comes the cathode of the whole 40 well fascinating to see if there are 30 if this country can hold the big major sporting events under these conditions. ok and he richard sennett is here with me now in studio and what are the events to watch on saturday i think inevitably looking at the 100 made says please who really are very different stages of their career and we heard about christian coleman the fastest man in the world this year and also justin gatlin the defending champion you know $37.00 well they do both have in

common is both in question mark over their careers christian couple missed 3 don't contest out of competition this year could have been suspended basically got out of the pound on a technicality when as well someone who sued suspensions during his career no use saying bowls here of course and what was so good up beyond being a brilliant sprints it was that when he was on the track all the other stuff the negative stories around track and field just disappeared into the very marrow he's now gone and i think organizers here desperately hoping a new big star can emerge of these championships preferably one who haven't got a controversial past ok great stuff andy thank you so much to other sport now and it was red bulls match for sap in who set the pace after the opening practice stay for the russian grand prix in sochi it up the timings added far as charles elect clare in the 2nd session for savings have won every race that this circus since they came on to the f one calender. well no games at the rugby world cup on friday

across the country well the protests 1st started a week ago in response to corruption allegations since then human rights groups say more than 2000 people have been arrested stephanie decker has our report. they took a risk to come out to the streets in protest for a 2nd friday that's despite warnings from egyptian security forces that they would face a harsh response al-jazeera cannot independently verify these videos but they are said to be in kenya the city and are pretty gypped and also in l.a. what achmea the capital cairo other reports suggest a large security presence in central cairo with the streets virtually deserted the roads the 2 square which has been the heart of previous protests over the years blocked off. another narrative in what is just as much a media campaign state television showing pro-government protests in the capital president abdel fatah sisi return to cairo early on friday from the un general assembly in new york this welcome posted on his official facebook page but the

president reassures this crowd that all is well with the market what are you doing here why you got up early on a friday morning life is good and easy you have to know that the egyptians are very aware of how they try to fake the realities and realistic things and deceive the people for the sake of allah and for the sake of you what happened before will never happen again don't worry and don't be worried good morning to you but despite the president's assurances something is happening here waiting out troops all over the streets of cairo now is and we are doing random checks all over the city is a very clear reflection of this government's insecurity. the fact that the thing that drives this government more than anything else is the voice of its own people a government that secured any standing at security which little missy and it support among egyptians wouldn't be so frightened or terrified by hundreds of

protesters in the streets of cairo it started with this man mohammed alley a contractor for the egyptian military for 15 years the largest and most powerful institution in the country recently breaking rank uploading videos statements from spain where he now lives in self-imposed exile accusing senior military leaders of wasting millions of dollars to build villas palaces and hotels it hasn't gone down well with many who are finding it hard to live day by day. more recently there's a lot of economic discontent cc's economic policies have mostly failed the wealth gap has increased and egypt's poverty rate is rising pretty dramatically hundreds came out to protest last friday what has been the biggest show of discontent against he says rule human rights watch says nearly 2000 people have been arrested in the last week alone al-jazeera is banned from reporting inside the country the bigger picture of what is happening here may take time to become clear but it seems

once again egyptians have lost their fear and are defying wooders to remain silent stephanie decker al-jazeera. i'm now joined by some terran associate professor of middle eastern politics at university of oklahoma so we saw again today some protests varying in scale but somewhat scattered is your expectation that these protests might fizzle out or could they potentially escalate well it's not clear that they are going to continue but one just remember that this is a highly repressive regime that has made significant efforts to prevent any signs of dissent so protests of any kind are significant and the number of people who protested today in different parts of the country in different cities were relatively small but i think that this indicates because of the character of the regime and the level of repression that there are far more people who share their grievances and their concerns you're obviously in the united states was president

sisi has recently been attending the united nations general assembly in new york i'm just what i'm just wondering about the way in which these protests are perceived abroad does it perhaps punch of a narrative pursued by c c that egypt is the sort of island of stability in a in a region filled with problems. i think it certainly does and that's been a narrative used by the regime and other regimes to dissuade people from protesting to say that well you're not going to get democracy you're going to get the syrian civil war or the chaos in yemen if you don't follow orders there has been a narrative here particularly by the trump regime that everything is fine in egypt and see she's a wonderful president clearly the protests puncture that but it is important to say that there are others in congress and in civil society who are very critical of the c.c. regime and the rampant human rights abuses that are taking place there and that are

aware that this level of repression along with deteriorating economic conditions are not sustainable in the long run. in the protests in light punch of the president sisi narrative and. his that the actions of his regime may well invite the criticism of activists and human rights groups but it doesn't do anything to bring about any actual international pressure on his government to change its behavior. for the most part not unfortunately there has been a lot of talk in the past and sometimes in the present in the united states and european powers about democracy and human rights promotion and rule of law but unfortunately they these written these governments don't walk the walk they still support the egyptian government they still send significant military aid and they don't raise significant. their voices with regard to these kinds of human rights abuses and the lack of freedom of the press or freedom of speech or

a right to assembly and protest some a shot to thank you you're welcome. opposition democrats in the u.s. house of representatives of issued a subpoena to the u.s. secretary of state it's aimed at compelling might to hand over documents relating to contact with ukraine's government says house democrats continue their inquiry into president donald trump over allegations he pressured ukraine's president to investigate his political rival joe biden castro has mall. democratic leaders are keeping up the pressure on the white house with more calls for subpoenas and hearings next week nancy pelosi reportedly wants to formally vote on impeaching u.s. president donald trump by the end of november this is as serious as it gets when it

comes to protecting the constitution of the united states the oath of office that will take i think the president violated that oath trumps phone call with ukraine in which he pushed for a ukrainian investigation of his political opponent while withholding u.s. military assistance pushed democrats to begin an impeachment inquiry earlier this week then thursday the public release of a whistleblower report claiming the white house tried to bury the calls records gave democrats the most powerful ammunition yet to see trump impeachment i think we've gotten to the point that if they're not going to do something for us what would they do something for on friday more than 300 former u.s. national security officials penned a letter expressing their grave concern they write president trump appears to have leveraged the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes that would constitute

an unconscionable abuse of power it also would represent an effort to subordinate america's national interests and those of our closest allies and partners to the president's personal political interest trump maintains the phone call with the president of ukraine was perfect and says the anonymous intelligence officer who raised alarms is partisan and he's accusing adam schiff the democratic chairman of the intelligence committee of lying to congress and misrepresenting the call in a tweet the president called for schiff to immediately resign from congress house democrats have been investigating the president for several potential crimes including obstruction of. justice and money laundering that's played into trump's quain that his political opponents are searching for any way to remove him from office democrats say going forward they'll focus on ukraine to capitalize on public anger while it exists but even if they succeed in impeaching trump removing him

from office is another matter that would require the cooperation of republicans whose leader in the senate calls the accusations against trump laughable castro al-jazeera washington. and joins us now from washington and patty the secretary of state has now been subpoenaed in this impeachment inquiry. he has been and it's really this is not really anything new the democrats who control the house of representatives have been subpoenaed by white house officials including the secretary of state mike pompei oh pretty much par for the course they simply said no just not answer and not going to give it to you so now they've sent another subpoena for specifically documents from related to ukraine to or to giuliani the president's personal attorney trying to get to see if the state department has the actual transcript of the call remember the white house has put out a sort of memo about it so they're subpoenaing him and giving him just a couple of weeks to turn it over so if he continues to ignore them well then they

can go to court and the courts have shown great leaning and see when it comes to impeachment hearings they give the. more power to the house of representatives if they're actually looking at impeachment so they could possibly win in court if it decides to continue to defy them and then potentially a judge could say to the secretary of state you have to hand those over or you'll be found in contempt of court so again they sent another subpoena he's ignored them so far but this everything is changed to washington after the story broke everything across the board is just different now. clearly some very serious allegations about president trump in this whistleblower complaint patty and it will be very interesting to see whether at some point if not now but as this starts to brew whether it will make republicans feel uncomfortable and whether they will continue to defend the president's behavior.
