12:06 am
some people have found themselves stranded you know i mean what did this does it gabby other guardian does that we are facing many difficulties because of the prevailing situation after 8 days my daughter just dies from hospital i need to take a home from the last 2 hours and looking for a very close but i'm not able to find any i live very far away from here on. this parent says many. are afraid to send their children to school. because we're scared the government has opened the schools but kids are not going and we dependents are worried for them are going to send our children to school what if they don't come back. india's new measures have inflamed decades long tensions with pakistan on the other side of the dividing line in the last few weeks that fled to military clashes both from the air and on land and concerns in the wider region and possible all out war between the 2 nuclear powers i'm just. happy one jacob with us now from
12:07 am
new delhi the director of the india pak conflict monitor nice to have you with us 2 months now since india's move and as we heard in that report there people there are worried about what might happen next do you think those concerns are valid. well i can build themselves out of the idea that we need a bomb but it's not the situation under control which may be pretty much i feel that given the fact that we did on the house we're going to hold something that is going to slow the psi up so that i could be on the team sufficient for the everything that's in front lines which i thought we started sharp i'm so there seems to be effect but i'm all. i need i don't see issues simply both in dad's side of the security measures so to that extent the short going feeds you have. on how to manage the. me if i'm going to having said that i don't want to say i'm sure i'm
12:08 am
all for walking to develop. an office i don't. want to talk back to be not unhappy and the blackout hot and so forth not because i'm pretty good. but i was all across the state house before but i'm rather stiff i don't. want to say i mean. i don't want their own party. wanted of what i'm going to get out of any but i'm offered to plot and we thought the best new idea why i thought i'd get upset or push me for a long time i see any any any ideas or the fact i thought it was interesting indian prime minister narendra modi said that this was a bilateral issue between india and pakistan interesting on 2 fronts one he was the one who made a unilateral decision over kashmir and to the pakistani prime salman khan is the complete opposite he wants u.n. intervention it's hard to see how those 2 things can be reconciled. you know the
12:09 am
possible mockery in fact of finding something do you want everything to be and to be fucking someone and i get some do want to ask insistently nancy out of your mind . by that very issue even if you're stupid you have the. groove on and i found no interest. in the language and frankly thought except that i assumed it even though that you've been to the government to make the argument that this is that particular issue today. for safety has been a point of discussion at many a stop and those around the works or just the other day the united states senate voted national cemetery came out with a statement on. the un general assembly maybe if i did have a break and you should find i have consistently made this you make this your sole why is the actually the product that you expect me to be. happy for you for a video of it all by the international community has been said about what and how
12:10 am
it got the meeting a good idea that this used to be that it would be a question of any sort all the statements that are being raised by you may be different. for everyone to echo but with us from new delhi thank you for that do appreciate it the conservatives and religious groups are expected to protest in paris on sunday against the french government's plan to give access to i.d.'s to single and day women under french law only women and a heterosexual couple can access medically assisted reproductive treatment talk about life as the full story. when she reached her mid thirty's benedict a wanted to become a mother she was single and wanted to try i've yet fix set foot in france i v f is illegal for single or gay women so benedict travel to denmark and portugal with the treatment is legally available to all women i fell out low in my own country
12:11 am
because i just wanted a baby. that's right it was ok all the european countries but not in france benedick son is now 14 months old he doesn't have a father say although that mother in law and though the fact that he was wanted cases like benedix where she had to travel abroad for treatment may soon be a thing of the past in france the french government's proposed a new bioethics law that would give all women the right to i.d.f. treatment not just those in a heterosexual couple the new law would fulfill one of a man or might cross presidential campaign promises but is very divisive its supporters say it would be a victory for equality but its opponents say it would do raise the role of the father and destroy the moral fabric of french society in september french m.p.'s approved the new bill but only after a fiery debate over the ripon this is you don't get. how dare you decide
12:12 am
to inscribe into law that a child be deprived of a father this shocks me yes i'm emotional you're playing with fire the new law also covers other controversial issues such as stem cell research and some conservative groups worry it could be expanded in the future. it's a slippery slope 1st you give old women the right to a child then it will be for all men and then we'll have legalized surrogacy senators are now examining the bill if it becomes law it will be a huge blow for those who say it erodes traditional family values but it will create hope and possibility for single and gay women who dream of becoming a parent especially buckler al-jazeera paris. at the world athletics championships here in doha we're off to the international stadium with a preview with our ismael. thanks so much for all 7 titles are being decided on

12:14 am
hello there we've had some rain showers across southern sections of iran over the last couple days pushing on into pakistan and also you see these bright here bringing some rather heavy downpours into those the northern sections of oman now there's more rain in the 4 calls a lot of clouds certainly into pakistan as we head on into sunday it's been cooler in afghanistan just 17 in kabul on sunday and also cooler up into northern turkey 18 degrees in ankara and those are all the rainy skies draw a little bit milder to 20 degrees celsius and very nice in beirut 28 degrees not. further to the south arabian peninsula we've got to again a mix of. those we could just see one or 2 more rain showers along. this coast in arm on a temperature wise sunday in doha 36 degrees celsius but still really feeling quite humid same temperature on monday and that is sunday when we could see more rain showers really quite scatter but maybe anywhere from abu dhabi across into muscat
12:15 am
and then down into southern africa some rain showers have been in the 4 calls they've also been scouting that south coast it's been very warm of the last few days into johannesburg and no real changes that sunday because he's in maine chiles then into cape town 18 is the high they play through on monday with a high of 19. 2 planes came. and 15 checked now to tell us that you know. i think it is possible to fully clean the premises off and skeletons but what we then leave is evidence that we have for the clinton administration wanted to give them a bit from started speaking about their own. before even the saudi government give up with just a jamal khashoggi matter in a saudi consulate on al-jazeera. one simple mistake could be frankly.

fishing as a deep sea diver carries immense risk to the lives of those willing to take the chance but for north korean so much the opportunity for a prosperous new life in the south with his family was an even bigger risk to take . a witness documentary on al-jazeera. on the news here at al-jazeera and these are our top stories the number of people killed in protests in iraq has risen to at least 98 police open fire in baghdad
12:17 am
after a 2 day curfew was lifted parliament's supposed to be holding an emergency session on the armrest but some politicians are boycotting. protesters back on the streets of hong kong as well despite a rail shutdown and calls to council to demonstrations many cover their faces in defiance of a ban on mosques imposed by the cities they take our land and the us is one turkey against any illegal drilling in the east mediterranean sea. my pompei i made those comments as he visited greece when he signed the new defense agreement. meanwhile secretary of state says his department has responded to a subpoena requesting state department documents information he is refusing to provide it's related to the impeachment inquiry into the us president. state department sent a letter last night. to congress. which is our initial response to the document request we'll obviously do all the things we're required to do by law. i was
12:18 am
a member of congress once article one has a certain set of errors never to as an obligation to make sure that we protect officials at the state department in addition the white house has been subpoenaed but donald trump says he's refusing to cooperate until the house of representatives votes to approve the investigation meanwhile text messages are fields so much pressure ukraine's president was put under to investigate trump's political rival joe biden. with more now from washington and i want to think you it appears ukrainian leaders clearly understood what president trump meant when he spoke with the ukrainian president by phone in july and asked for a favor the favor was a ukrainian investigation into trump's political rivals at home the payoff an invitation for president volodymyr zelinsky to visit the white house and the evidence one day before the call kurt volker the former u.s. special envoy to ukraine sends a text message discipline ski's aide heard from white house will grow rights
12:19 am
assuming president z. convinces trump he will investigate get to the bottom of what happened in 2016 we will nail down date for a visit to washington then after the call ukrainian official andre your mac tells us diplomats once we have a date will call for a press briefing announcing among other things barista and election meddling in investigations. is the gas company linked to the son of former u.s. vice president joe biden the text messages released by house investigators show u.s. diplomats and trumps personal attorney rudy giuliani continuing to pressure ukraine to draft a statement announcing an investigation but none was released then in late august the u.k. . radians learned of trump's decision to withhold nearly $400000000.00 in u.s. military assistance the u.s. ambassador to ukraine bill taylor appeared incredulous texting i think it's crazy
12:20 am
to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign the response came from or to the sunland a wealthy hotelier and trump donor who was appointed ambassador to the e.u. i believe you are incorrect about president trump's intentions he writes the president has been crystal clear no quid pro quos of any kind there is no pro quo and that was the fact that i saw that now by that that text defending trump came just as the u.s. media was catching wind of a whistleblower report accusing trump of wrongdoing in his call with the ukrainian president that's what's launched the impeachment inquiry now targeting the president democrats heard from another witness friday the intelligence community inspector general who investigated the whistleblower report we have evidence of text messages between state department officials expressing concern as early as may that rudy giuliani had a jew there was
12:21 am
a giuliani biting thing going on that had concerned a state department official we have evidence that a state department official was concerned that there was a linkage between security assistance and as he described a domestic political campaign democrats are trying to build a compelling case for impeachment not only to convince the american public but also senate republicans it would take a swell of republican defectors to remove trump from office and thus far there's only been a trickle. castro al-jazeera capitol hill. meanwhile president obama trumpets signed an order preventing immigrants who can't afford health care. from entering the united states those relocating to the u.s. will now have to prove they can afford medical costs or get health insurance within 30 days of their arrival the white house says the new rule won't apply to those claiming asylum or to children adding it only affects immigrants who are seeking
12:22 am
visas the order means if immigrants can't prove they will be able to get health insurance and they can be denied a visa donald trump says the move will prevent financial burden on the health care system it will come into effect on the 3rd more whichever tansey now in washington this feels a little bit she had like one of those good days a bury bad news situation there's so many other big distractions going on in the us with the impeachment that this news sort of gets slipped in under the radar. that's true although that does seem to be a very specific group of people being targeted by this new rule which is very likely to be to be challenge in court it should should be added this isn't targeting those few by the way we should make it very clear that if you're just coming in for a temporary trip on holidays and i doubt this is going to affect you but this is again a restriction on legal immigration to the united states we know that donald trump is cracking down on on documented migration but they're also going off to people
12:23 am
who want to settle in the united states and it's thought that this rule is particularly targeted at relatives of those who are in and living in the united states legally spouses parents not children this way the plight of the children of those legally in the united states but but for those who want to join their relatives that wives that children in the united states as you say you have to prove that within 30 days of arriving in the united states your medical costs will be covered either because you have enough money or because your you have some sort of medical insurance or your covered by whomever your joining insurance policy so that would mean that you don't have to have a job some of employment based insurance policy or the person you're with they have such an expensive insurance insurance policy that that that you will be you will be covered on this think about 400000 people a year maybe may be affected by this it doesn't affect temporary visitors those already in the u.s. children of those already here refugees and asylum seekers although there are plenty of hurdles being put up putting
12:24 am
a being put up against those sorts of it that sort of immigration as well but the message once again from the from the administration is that unless you've got money we really really don't want you to live here and the thing with health insurance anyway she has i mean this is something which for years now the trump administration is trying to be trying to roll back any way obamacare. right so that's helping a little bit too because. i mean because of the restrictions that they're placing on obamacare anyway it's it would break people make it make makes it much more difficult for for those applying for immigration status in the u.s. to to get health care and to get immigration status there is this kind of weird catch 22 which is all in the weeds of if it will care act which i don't think i should go into and actually that doesn't really want to get into but everybody but i mean there's lots of small print to health care is a major issue in united states obviously it's a for profit system in the united states it is incredibly expensive one of the most expensive health care systems in the world and that's why it's also actually a major issue in the election coming to 2020 with democratic candidates who like
12:25 am
bunnies all is elizabeth warren who are proposing to throw away just for profit system and have a state basis from which of course most will most developed nations in the world do indeed have health care as a human rights not just as a privilege will or for profit a for profit industry shepparton see thank you for that ships in washington for us . now a long standing ban on women entering football stadiums in iran is expected to be lifted on thursday for a world cup qualifier thousands of tickets allocated for women sold out minutes fifa will be sending a delegation to tehran to monitor access to the game against cambodia last month you may remember 29 year old he died after setting herself on fire as she was protesting after she was arrested for trying to enter a football match so let's talk to football journalist asha comedy show who is joining us from kampala uganda and scott nice to have you with us ayesha. it
12:26 am
shouldn't take a woman burning herself to death for this to happen clearly the story wouldn't have gotten as much focus if that hadn't happened but i guess this does show that there is some movements in iran. yes absolutely it's very good news to know that next week when when iran plays cambodia and us fifa world cup qualifier that will have women finally you know into who are watching from the stands and cheering on the display as if i have to have been watching on the internet or television is a very big step efficiently in the art of walls because it's of the use of be easy and it has really had to seek a strong reaction from people and pressure groups across the love to make sure that the happen at other but you know it's a reflection of where we're going as as women in football i should say from a different aspect because when you look at sci fi itself the fast every woman to
12:27 am
be secretary general she is muslim and she you know so that's just good to say the directions of the chief is very serious about this much and to say that look you run if you don't. remember what some of the c.d.'s are you could actually be buying from the qualification process so this still do you think an overriding feeling i guess in the hour would you referred to expect a particular event that women don't want to go to football or shouldn't be going to football i mean there was only what was it 3 and a half 1000 tickets allocated. yes it's 3500 that at least have been confirmed as of having gone to female fund but also there's a feeling that this number could don't rise because the federation has and the government of iran have said that if we will open up more sheets in the stadium and perhaps to go some that will be most fun but i must say that when you look at the
12:28 am
rest of the our brows you have for example in africa you have done that is the stuffing their women national league and pray for missing us should say right now there's a one on the $22.00 on them and on going in the local that has audi and in egypt they can spot so this is sort of an encouragement to say that wearing that he job is not it's not a bad thing and that if you want lots of both you can actually go out there and and watch t.v. you should not be limited just because of who you are and how you are born it's not your fault that you were born a woman in the case of. the 29 year old who i said he set himself on fire because she was arrested for trying to enter a football match that is a desperately sad situation isn't it that someone goes to bat lands because they were arrested just trying to watch a game. i can't even begin to imagine the frustration that she had
12:29 am
because as a single journalist i know that i say see the kinds of opposition i should say in my career because people don't believe that i can talk football the same way that a male journalist can but some of these things are changing but when i look at that you run situation and what she has to go to because she has to prove that you know we men can also be fun and that it took a day of course she doesn't know the extent actions help to free up so many of the women in iran but she will always be celebrated as a mutha as one who died for good cause even if it's a very bad thing but i'm sure that when those women go out next week to support iran against cambodia it will be a celebration and independence kind of message that they would send for furthest maybe 65 to say look here we are we can take selfies in the stadium and we don't
12:30 am
have to disguise of a man to watch a football game great stuff. joining us from the come pollack thank you appreciate . you giving us more protests are expected in haiti where people are demanding president johnson was a resign from his march was the largest in nearly 4 weeks of protests during which 17 people have reportedly been to protest at that time was on fire as they marched to the un offices in port au prince. a prominent cameroonian opposition leader has been released from prison as part of an amnesty ordered by president colby a what is comes i was jailed in january for organizing protests people are celebrating his release which comes a day off to the end of a national dialogue aimed at resulting a separatist conflict cameron's english speaking regions have been fighting for 3 years to break away from the french majority. now scientists and i'm president of the wave of extinction is underway because of poaching global warming and

the entire world both elderly females living in captivity so the subspecies seems do or maybe not part of biologist barbara durant's job involves giving ultrasound exams to pregnant rhinos not an easy task when your patient weighs about 1600 kilos so. durant is leading an effort to bring back the northern white rhino with a precious clutch of the animal stem cells and or dayshift land. a stem cell is a cell that has a potential to be any other cell in the body eventually they want we want to differentiate him all the way to sperm eggs but there's a big catch female rhino anatomy it turns out is complicated the cervix which you have to go through to deposit the semen is very convoluted it looks like a series of rings like this so we have to go in
12:33 am
a series of switchback turns so we're going to have to have something that is very flexible that can go around all those curves and that's where engineering professor mike comes in he wasn't thinking about impregnating rhinos when he developed this flexible robotic catheter for microsurgery but it turns out it's perfect for the job we've developed the robotic tool that is very thin long flexible device that we can very accurately steer through these narrow channels so that we can get very deep into the rhino uterine body and the posit the specimens needed the ultimate goal of this project is to produce a self-sustaining herd of northern white rhinos 1st in captivity and then return to the wild in africa that goal is decades away and direct says she may not live to
12:34 am
see it happen but that's ok if we don't lay the groundwork it's not going to happen so i think that what we're doing now is extremely important for the long game for the long haul dedicated scientists and a bold plan to save one of the world's rarest creatures rob reynolds al-jazeera escondido california. still ahead for you on al-jazeera the sports news with far and the dream run continues for hosts japan and rugby's a while too. children are risking it all the fame and fortune in the country's most populous. the death of a 13 year old boy response holmes to ban them from moving one on 18th meets thailand's child. october on al jazeera. as the deadline on october 31st gets closer stay with us for all the ninety's developments
