12:08 am
a lot of the protesters here have also been talking about the common sort of come from president donald trump who says that he thinks that the protests are now in his words deescalating well a lot of the protesters don't know whether that means that the united states is now showing the same sort of support that it did for the protest movement that's to say support from u.s. politicians as they had say several months ago now the protests to say they are going to gather again on sunday for unspecified action certainly the protests are not on a scale that we will see several weeks or even several months ago there is still violence but it's not as intense as it has been in recent weeks. national day celebrations are underway in spain amid internal tensions over the upcoming sentencing of catalan separatist leaders have been charged with sedition and misuse of public funds for their part in the 2017 independence referendum rival unionist

and pro independence rallies have gathered in catalonia the regional capital of bus among them sonia is their. liberations to spain's national day have been taking place on the streets some basilan at the capital. i also have to tell a region the region that attempted to secede 2 years ago now while this was organized by a pro nationalist civil society the backing of 3 conservative and right wing parties in spain in taking place because people here are still absolutely determined can't run we should should remain firmly pots the spanish states want to belong you know i want to keep being cut along is plenty of people. i was seeing yes so is being cut line is our way of being spanish or the wonderful thing about spain
12:10 am
is that it's made up of many different parts but with a common essence. even though here there is a pretty strong feeling about the caps of the region should remain firmly. the spanish state missteps alone you know force where there is a strong growth independence. they feel they should have the right to determine their own feature of a legal referendum now those that attempt to see 2 years ago was an illegal referendum and certain politicians and activists paid the price by being arrested they now face a judgment on monday whether it would be charges of rebellion sedition and misuse of public funds that has further exacerbated the tensions in the region and certainly doesn't look like it's going to be results any time soon. to 2 presidential candidates have gone head to head in a red television debate before sunday's runoff vote is choosing between

12:13 am
their expectations are high and have our president should make young people more of a priority its far as i'm concerned i have no faith in the political elite we want a president who stands for all to new zealand to fight a country that is different political party social classes we don't want a president defending a particular class or group after the 2011 revolution the president lost many powers to both the prime minister and parliament but the president retains control of the fans and foreign affairs for many to his ears the president is more than just a symbol the recent parliamentary elections have resulted in a divided parliament and the lead party may not be able to form a governing coalition this is where the next president is expected to step in and the political impasse has al-jazeera. tunis. the u.s. and china have struck a partial trade deal that could end the 15 month long trade war between the world's 2 largest economies after holding talks with china's vice premier donald trump
12:14 am
suspended a tariff hike on 2 $150000000000.00 of chinese imports that had been due to take effect on tuesday it may take more than a month for a full deal to be written. but we've come to a deal in intellectual property. financial services. a tremendous deal for the farmers a purchase of from $40.00 to $50000000000.00 worth of agricultural products another big issue that we've come to a conclusion on is currency foreign exchange we've also made very good progress on technology transfer and we'll put some of the technology transfer in phase one phase 2 will start negotiations almost immediately after we've concluded phase one and papered it the thoughts now of jeffrey wright who is a united states policy analyst at the eurasia group he thinks one of the reasons behind trump's decision is to get some relief for u.s.
12:15 am
farmers and to boost the country's economy. i think the pieces of this deal that are fairly concrete are the chinese agricultural purchases which trump says they will step up their current levels and the cancellation of the looming tariff increase which was due to go into place next week beyond that there's a lot left undone around intellectual property a sectoral opening for financial services firms in china that has been rumored and pulled back a number of times and a lot of other issues where the real substance is still needs to be ironed out the chinese have already for the last 2 weeks or so their purchases of particularly of soybeans have been at much higher levels than they were for the bulk of the summer and so that's a big relief to farmers and if this deal holds i think those purchases will will continue or probably go up as well the pieces that are left undone are primarily in electoral property the enforcement regime for this deal as well as
12:16 am
a number of sort of unrelated issues on national security in particular on huawei the chinese telecom for it seems pretty clear to me that part of the reason for his motivation to to get this deal was to get some relief for farmers and to put a boost into the macro economy in the u.s. as he heads into reelection and comes off of what was a very damaging week for him politically here in washington. we'll keep talking trade here on al-jazeera in a moment a possible new agreement which was a major topic between china and india but it's what they did not talk about that is making the headlines. taking the law into their own hands so some police women in the philippines are a force to be reckoned with and in sport with and the latest move by china's basketball fans to stick it to the n.b.a. .

12:21 am
in and around the strait of hormuz. at the time of the incident state media did say it could be a terrorist attack but now iran is proceeding with caution about this attack that took place 60 miles off the saudi arabian city of now the secretary of the national supreme security council has issued a statement he called the incident piracy an evil an incident that would not go on he said that the committee has been formed to investigate the incident but the available video did have some clues now we don't know what he's referring to in terms of those clues but he has said that ring in 10 cars have been targeted in the past and he said that the responsibilities of the consequences of this latest incident lie on the shoulders of those planners execute and supporters of this provocative actions the government spokesman also has also issued a statement he said that it was a cowardly act and said that those behind it are trying to increase tensions in the
12:22 am
region he also turned his attention to those countries that blamed iran for being behind the attack against the saudi oil facilities in september we asked them if they would condemn this attack against iran and if they would defend the right of shipping in international water is now iran is proceeding with caution they have said in the past that they are actors trying to increase tensions in the region that are trying to drag iran into a conflict with saudi arabia and the united states something iran says that they want to avoid there hasn't been any independent confirmation of this incident but iran says that the tanker that were in the can the tank has been stopped and data shows it's on its way back but world powers will be looking at this latest incidents incident with concern because they will be concerned about the instability in security and destabilization and destruction to shipping that could be caused by any conflict in the region. we're back to our top story now the battle underway in northern syria and child strike that is joining us from a chuckle a which is on the turkish side of the syrian border charles bring us up to date
12:23 am
with what you're seeing and hearing there. will certainly over the last couple of hours there have been there's been a big artillery bombardment by turkish forces on this side of the border and there have been reports in the last hour or so. by the free syrian army members saw these are the fighters the syrian rebels that up to supply in this offensive with the ex but they are preparing for a ground offensive into the town of tal abi odd now to lobby are these strategically important according to the turkish military folders 1st initial stage of this campaign because it is the furthest western town. all the section of the border around 120 kilometers going east to the town of russell and now we heard from the ministry of defense earlier today claiming that turkish forces it claims
12:24 am
were in complete control of russell and that was disputed by the s.d.f. and i've just come back from us alone certainly it is considerably quieter than it was there has been there in recent days. so again it's beginning to show great confidence by the ex that they are pushing forward in place campaign that they describe as being one against terrorism and one that is increasingly being criticized by the international community obviously would be talking about the humanitarian impact of decease having the fears of the united nations and aid agencies but certainly if it is indeed true that they are preparing for another ground offensive into this separate the 2nd it's. teaching sound off to the claim of this victory in russell i ain't entities of of great certainly military significance to the turks. right that is an update from child's strength
12:25 am

12:27 am
safe for all the technical problems but he did just about go ahead and did these see mungo he's. the leader of the n d n party which is. definitely smaller than the other 2 but it's been it's a pull basis been steadily building over the last couple of elections i mean how he's finally ready to pull the city of tehran terms of policy there was a similar thing several saying that my corruption for the president to seize corruption that many of the people in his government have been implicated in particular a $2000000000.00 hidden loan scandal which is so obviously the over the course of. when he will go to the polls on tuesday waiting to find out who will learn. complained about series of regularities inflated voters register ruling on the strongholds on violence throughout the campaign trail what sort of support does the front man for renamo rosso former model i really have i'm interested to say that it
12:28 am
is a party which seems to have its own internal problems as well. who historically had support of. the country i mean you could say roughly hard place previous elections but i don't previous elections being disputed by the opposition but the results as there are now. with all the ruling. body that read on every cell phone you mentioned those who are from some of its own problems since the peace deal with signed it was really late august the renegade general who had almost generals. broken away he's now with the people she don't know number of fighters rejecting the peace deal of rejecting this election so wait and see what kind of impact that will have on the votes that were dominant gets the blood has been on my supporters mind i've just gone from a billionaire right in front of him the old building that's still being fairly soon
12:29 am
i need to take down the british intended to make people believe my bossy webs in that my porter was a big thank you malcolm. just a day off the ethiopian prime minister be ahead was awarded the nobel peace prize we're hearing dozens of pro-democracy activists have been arrested and there was a heavy police presence across the capital from creel has more from. we understand speaking to the organizers of the protests and really the head of this group about paris council who were planning this protest they said that it was to protest the assailed transitions for the failing transition to democracy it's been planned for about 2 weeks they say i've known about it for about a week but we just we understand according to it is about as a police that it was actually banned this morning and then came these arrests we don't know the motivation behind these wrist speaking it's going to mega organizer of the rally he told me that these arrests appeared and these are his words
12:30 am
coordination planned and then implemented by police across as abbotts activists taken from their homes and of the streets and in prisons and present according to nagin are he said he's currently going from police station to police station to find out exactly why we know as i said at this rally has been planned for at least one week that i've known of all the necessary 2 weeks that had they had applied to the city council for permission police band at this morning i've spoken to a time in this area that's what this building is a huge she says she is aware of any arrests that were offenses not aware of these arrests and referred us back to the atlas arab east we're currently not taking our calls but yes certainly this goes against the very peace prize that a prime minister was awarded yesterday china's president xi jinping as arrived in the palm after a 2 day state visit to india to jumping held talks with prime minister narendra modi on
12:31 am
a range of issues including trade the issue of kashmir though and china support for pakistan compound off the agenda. i would like to state quite categorically that this issue was not resolved and not discussed and therefore there is no question of. my making any further comments on the matter in any case the government to me in this position as expressed publicly is very clear this is a matter that concerns the internal affairs of the country. on our reporting from. the indian prime minister took the chinese president on a guided tour of this istanbul city of my own which is where in fact 1700 years ago india and china had commenced trade it even signed a security pact this time around if you talk about substandard outcomes or concrete solutions to some of their festering disputes not much has been achieved however the indian official say that the 2 leaders have managed to establish a personal rapport we should go
12:32 am
a long way in the future to help them resolve many of these disputes including the border dispute and trade deficits the indian foreign secretary although did say that the 2 countries have decided to set up a mechanism at the ministerial level so china can address india's concern india has a whopping 3 deficit with china of over $51000000000.00 and the indian officials this time around said that they have chinese assurance that something will come out of these talks however the chinese president did not commit to anything as far as the whole visit then is concerned there is also the issue of kashmir recently we've seen exchange of harsh words between the indian and the chinese government just deal so before the chinese president came here he had hosted pakistan's prime the same wrong can and once again reiterated china's support to pakistan of course all of that comes in the background of india's decision in august 5 to strip india administers off its autonomy so china continues to back pakistan on that issue and it's interesting that while india also has the same dispute with china which
12:33 am
controls a part of kashmir that india claims the indian prime minister apparently did not even raise that with the chinese president xi jinping. it's tough to find a policeman minute least one tome in the philippines police women of the force. and organs been funding. the are on a mission not just to apprehend criminals but to break fear you types. these police officers. for the 1st all female police force in the country every measures married young police or pulleys marries as they are called are from the town of maria in c.q. who are in this sensual philippines male police officers who were previously assigned here have all been moved elsewhere this is seen as a trail blazing move by colonel angela handel who is also the 1st female police

12:35 am
that is about to change now they tell us a woman's place is also on the front lines local residents say they have already felt the difference people are more curious people are more curious nobody noticed the police station before now they understand what they do and that the people are on our say not other ways public trust in the philippine police has plummeted over the last few years the government's controversial drug war has left a 1000. of filipinos dead most of them from impoverished communities and allegations of corruption and abuse of power has affected its top leadership. these police officers vow to give their best because for so long they've been sidelined this time using their strengths and qualities as women to finally lead and rule in a man's world. jim duggan. your essential
