the end of the day i mean led to its rise and taking so much shit territories in syria and in iraq and this these conditions actually change i don't see the end of . as an ideology although we have seen the end of that territory an entity as a group does it have a sort of this is an odd way to put it but a succession plan do you think use the example before of when bin laden was killed and we knew that his successor and al qaeda was an older watty in the case of eisel well i still is having actually assured our consul which means people who are we're close but it close to i still a very senior out of rank senior ranking. figures within ourselves so i don't think that. they will find it difficult to find a replacement to i would like about daddy although i don't see somebody who is as charismatic as a buckler but that he to be a leader of this of the signal so we might see it actually also

a fragmentation of ice in itself because we have seen we have seen some of that i think with with other groups actually who have lost their their leader so we might see some sort of fragmentation of icily if. if we see differences between them we have seen this for example with the taliban in afghanistan so if they don't agree with that with that with with their leader that oil of them if they don't agree on their leader we might see that fragmentation as i said great to have you with us today my one couple on thank you thank you the rest of the day's news is still ahead i'm anderson pellon jordan's capital amman which is bursting with colors and quickly becoming a home for street art. hello

top story today on al-jazeera the u.s. conducting a raid in syria targeting the isolator. these explosive pictures are from the aftermath of that raid on a house in the province at this stage still conflicting reports about whether the operation was a success we're hearing that back that he and 2 of his wives blew themselves up in the right. we're moving to other news now and tens of thousands of lebanese protesters are gearing up to form a human chain running across the entire country as a symbol of national unity. a civil disobedience campaign until the government resigns stephanie decker right in the middle of things in beirut take us through

the staff. well everyone is trying to get into position to make sure this change stretches the entire. country from north to tripoli which is around 95 kilometers from where we are all the way to the south which is around 75 columns as you can see everyone holding hands this is the message here one of the lebanese people in unity standing together spanning the entire country let's just have a quick what do you want. only the news people are together and this and you're going to see how much wear your night that for this cause ok wonderful what about you know what do you want well we want all of them to resign and the corruption in this country because i mean it's you know if it's enough and often office something that everyone here has been telling us they've had enough of the same faces we've been run without ever knowing go go levet on the same message of

the losses the 11th dado so this is a message and i think you've got drone pictures as well to show just how far this is stretching and it's a measures to try and keep the pressure on the government at the moment we're in a bit of a stalemate come all the government isn't resigning people remain on the streets you have a mix of all kinds. if you like while you hear the founding my lebannon from. from everything. what about you thank you thank you so that some people not wanting to talk but they're here and giving a very strong message to their government that. you know very happy but there are very serious issues at stake here so we're going to have to wait and see people are expecting to perhaps hear something from their leaders on monday it is of course sunday here the last day of the weekend so for these people the significant why are you here just briefly we are here to would to prove that you've been on is we are

united in lebanon and there is no different political parties so we don't need this thank you very much everyone really had the same message are a very symbolic human chain spanning the entirety of the country people will tell you these are unprecedented times whether they're going to be changing things really when it comes to the political establishment is a big question mark but something has certainly changed here on the ground stephanie decker on the ground the drawing up in the sky fantastic reporting from beirut. well police in hong kong have used tear gas to disperse protesters during another rally against the government and police brutality 1st aid workers say they've treated protests as for injuries even broken bones the mass demonstrations began in june over an extradition bill which has since been withdrawn upon and now with more from hong kong. police seem to have changed their tactics by trying to stop protests very early on almost as soon as that happened they started firing tear gas pepper spray and even rubber bullets in some areas but

instead of putting off people it seems to have galvanized the people we spoke to say they weren't even part of the protest to begin with but once they saw the police actions they decided to join this march which hasn't been sanctioned by the government they have no permission so they march down this main thoroughfare i'd like to explain exactly where i am i'm in this place called nathan road it's one of the main shopping district i'm flying by hotels and shops on either side the whole area has been brought to. still by the protesters the pink had several times tried to clear this area unsuccessfully with tear gas pepper spray and even a water cannon but every time they seem to clear a certain part of this road people just come back here and we're also hearing that there are protests in other parts of this commercial area police have arrested more than a dozen people so it seems like protesters and police are setting out for

a long night of confrontations. the polls have just opened in argentina's presidential election where incumbent conservative president morsi. is almost certain to lose at least according to the opinion polls has left his rival but often and as has campaigned on macrae's failure to deal with growing poverty and high inflation to raise a boat with the support from buenos aires. actually we don't have that report from tour is about when it's ours we'll come back to a little later on if we can meanwhile it is the 72nd anniversary of india's army 1st arriving in kashmir of course this region became a flashpoint soon after india was partitioned by britain's government and colonial forces went home since then india and pakistan have fought 2 wars over kashmir and they've been plenty other conflicts too you'll remember the tensions rose again

just an organist when india's government removed the region's autonomy and imposed a lockdown there's been tension in the region ever since with both india and pakistan accusing each other of violations. hoping to bring you a report from we will shortly. the anniversary of those indian troops entering kashmir $947.00 is also being observed across the border in pakistan where it's being marked as part of anti-government protests billed as a long march we do have the support from interruption. people in pakistan are commemorating war dig called a black day the pakistani opposition has come binded trend they did being led by more than a floodlit m. on who had also spoken to a large crowd saying that the people of pakistan were on the same page when it comes to that critical issue also coached me however he had also warned that from monday onward his people will be marching on it it is going to be

a long drive from the southern border city of karachi the opposition party that was there throwing their weight behind him there demanding for the resignation of the pakistani prime minister embryon khan and they're also saying that there should be a new election it in pakistan so it is going to be important to see what plays out in the next few days as the opposition continues to increase its pressure on iran contra step down. going to go back to one of those stories we brought you earlier the 72nd anniversary of india's army 1st arriving in kashmir region which became a flashpoint soon after india was partitioned by britain's government and konya forces went home the supporters from in the main city of. the rebels hold a grenade at the indian security officials here last night and then exchanged fire at least 6 indian security officials were injured and the rebels then ran to

a nearby essay matches hospital which is the biggest hospital in. the street and managed to escape the timing is also interesting because today's what many describe as occupation day the day they ended in the valley and then. the session in the favor of the government however for india and those who supported it is the day the indian troops liberated me from. the key is is that pakistan felt one way about in terms of wanting to save. india want to. sort of another perspective on new delhi had another perspective on it which wanted to say that this was an invasion of some sort requiring the troops to land in the 1st place and then the really versions of it depends on which political perspective you espoused in at the time. just look around you many

soldiers everywhere you see more soldiers than residents. now the people of the valley are still struggling to understand the decision taken by the indian government in all this 5. to me and dividing it into 2 political unit to that effect the indian government has already appointed the regions. not a man seemed to be close to prime minister more the a man who's going to be. all of this talk in the region from now on. also as we mentioned earlier the polls have just opened in argentina for the presidential elections here is to read suppose report from. juan carlos unsought i said taxi driver in winter scientists he's 57 years old and said that in his lifetime he has seen how argentina has repeated the same mistakes over and over again part of the me. i don't care about myself anymore it's about my children future generations how

can it be that we can never turn the page around living a normal country i want to country with social justice and somehow we never get there. arjun ties are choosing between 6 presidential candidates the 2 frontrunners are the business friendly incumbent market he promised to reform argentina but has been struggling with a financial crisis and a lot of the for a man this who's running mate is former president cristina fernandez the kershner from the powerful peronist party coming in 3rd is former economy minister robert 11 year renegotiated argentina's foreign debt at the economic collapse in 2001 for a family film i think you have been very highly favored here in the capital one side if you might of the around 55 percent inflation rate and right over to read even though mark 3 hurricanes around 30 percent of the vote there are many who say that they're disappointed the way he handled the coral and that's why this time

they won't vote for him the primary elections in august gave the center left peyronie's party coalition at 15 point lead over maglis bloc even though many are disenchanted with the accusations of corruption that involved kristina kirshner they say they would rather vote for her coalition than mccabe who they say has only benefited big business. i want a party that favors the working class and mockery did not do that i came here to buy die. because we cannot trust in the end we don't know what will happen next week it. has lost significant value in the past year and people are turning to the dollar concerned there will be another collapse but some say they fear a comeback by the peronist party. i haven't seen the same crisis since one pit on and 1945 and the peronist have always my things worse analysts say

it's going to be difficult to force a 2nd round. the ruling party campaign is trying to consolidate the power they have and maybe think of the future and the type of opposition they are going to be there is a huge difference between mockery and fernandez that's difficult to reverse voters will now have their say poll suggest the results will be clear cut and argentina will elect a president outright this sunday anything different would certainly come as a major surprise. painting graffiti on well just about anything is one way i express themselves in many parts of the world and it's no different in the jordanian capital local communities didn't welcomed straight off a few years ago but things are changing as under schapelle reports from among. the canvas that miramar is working on looks a lot different to the ones she used in our classes in university. instead of

producing art destined for a gallery or the wall of a wealthy household she's decided to paint for a different clientele. i didn't want to be in the system that's why i quit studying in the university graffiti has become much more welcomed by society and the government lately that i hear from on the street out is that they can't sign with their real names and they have to cover up when they're painting but here we don't have these issues i'm waiting for the situation when i have to run from the police or someone in the community because i'm painting on the walls or portraits are a celebration of arab influence a tribute to the celebrated iraqi architect zaha hadid as well as palestinian poet mahmoud darwish and lebanese musician marcel khalifa the paintings at the call has stairs and amman are surrounded by homes built in the 1930 s. the area has enjoyed a renaissance in part thanks to the work of miramar and other artists. can has he actually this there is transformed from normal sad stares to

a colorful tourist destination and all of this affects our sales because people come here to take photos and then buy something from our stores. just artists completed the whole atmosphere of the area and helped us to attract more people. many of the larger murals started appearing in 2013 after local graffiti artists decided to form a collective called doc it hosts a festival each spring where people fly in just for the chance to leave their mark on the city's walls artists from around the world are coming here to jordan and along with the local artists the crossing boundaries not just of countries but also . wealth and class they say they're connecting the more affluent areas in the west of the city so the older and less developed ones in the east and the local businesses are enjoying an economic boost the neighborhood of mali has some of the most impressive in scale by one of jordan's best known street artists the son of palestinian refugees so he bought or is creating landmarks in his old neighborhood

that have changed more than the physical landscape of the area a bad neighborhood of. problems like fights drug dealing and all of that and it's been we've been doing it for the past 4 years and it's going to as i do think so much like. a lot of kids there like sort of doing the show to have like a way to interact with tourists coming through that neighborhood and we're having a plan like now to make it through just an easy bringing like a lot of international artists to do and it's $28.00 buildings that neighborhood in addition to encouraging local children to be more artistic hopes his work will bring everyone together raise their spirits and express themselves in a colorful way and are chapelle al-jazeera in the jordanian capital amman.

just a quick look at the headlines now on al-jazeera the u.s. has conducted a raid in syria targeting the isolator. these are exclusive pictures of the aftermath of that raid on a house in the province of italy there are still conflicting reports about whether the operation was a success reports have come in that baghdad he and 2 of his wives actually blew themselves up in the raid al-jazeera correspondent the news if was one of the 1st journalists to reach the scene of the raid. on as we speak search and rescue teams are combing the site debris is also being recovered trying to find out what happened after the area was targeted by american helicopters u.s. helicopters arrived here and drop operation was performed immediately after there was a plane pinpointed and destroyed the area the operation lasted for one and a half hours following the drop a recon plane was seen in a warplane destroyed the house completely as of now no clear information has been received even residents are not giving any accounts and tens of thousands of

lebanese protesters gearing up to form a human chain trying to make it run across the entire country to symbolize national unity and made the protests that's my lot for today thank you for your company inside story is next with cash. sanctions against zimbabwe be lifted the president claims u.s. and e.u. with playing the economy not say the government's quick fix so who's right this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program. zimbabwe used to be known as the breadbasket of africa some economists describe it now as a basket case inflation is nearly 300 percent and millions of zimbabweans are going hungry because they cannot afford basics the government blames international sanctions. president. declared friday a national holiday. a show to support a call on the u.s. and the european union to lift sanctions imposed when robert mugabe was leader the ruling zone o.p.'s says the risk of a crime against humanity on government leaders and businesses choking the economy opponents blame zimbabwe's troubles on.

well. actually sanctions aren't just. especially toy economy to everybody but what they're doing a lot of our industries are sanctioned. meaning to create jobs because every country needs funding i just want the people that they see to get to. what you said. to them or that. our what countries all need to meet we want. the u.s. and e.u. impose sanctions against government leaders and companies nearly 20 years ago after

political crackdown by the president robert mugabe the u.s. financial and travel restrictions apply to 56 businesses and 85 people including president but on guy who are u.s. arms exports to zimbabwe are also banned the e.u. also banned the sale of military equipment that could be used for oppression and froze the assets and impose travel bans on sons in bob wins linked to the government the extend the sanctions for another year in february the us has since impose sanctions on zimbabwe's state security minister saying he was involved in gross violations of human rights. let's bring in our guests in johannesburg by sky aditi program manager of foreign policy of the south african institute of international affairs and in london patricia. yorka you care

a present over the zimbabwean opposition party movement for democratic change their representative from zimbabwe is ruling party is out of here forced you to join the panel but unfortunately had to cancel welcome to a does it how significant are the sanctions imposed on the zimbabwean government these are sanctions that have been imposed really actually since 2000. what happens is that they continue to be updated based on persons of interest and potential sort of. you know sort of who that was deemed to be sort of corrupt and so on and obviously also it's been adapted to to accommodate the new sort of political leadership that has taken over in zimbabwe it is principally this 2 sets of sanctions one that little that the from the e.u. side which at this point in time is only really relevant to greece mugabe it and

then there's the us tax sanctions which are targeted to various at a specific list of are of individuals and companies and state owned enterprises and then of course there's the dera. sort of conditions which are not. sanctions necessarily but they do impose certain restrictions on the way in which the u.s. behaves in terms of. sort of this relief really i get really is about that but tricia what kind of impacts you see in the near future. before i actually answer that question i wanted to thank him bob when people for standing up against the regime yesterday i think that this stance that the current government had taken in collaboration with sadeq over the north sanctions march didn't work yesterday the people of zimbabwe stood up

and they stood against the regime and by so doing they they sent a really big message to say we are no longer interested in hearing your propaganda about the sanctions that they they they sing about all the time and with regard to. any impact. i think that in terms of these targeted sanctions against individuals and organizations that are owned by by these individuals any lifting of those sanctions would create a very unsafe environment in zimbabwe in i think what we need to talk about today the p.f. imposed sanctions on the people of zimbabwe in the form of our corruption

and the rule of law as well as the gross human rights violations that we have seen accel rate since 2017 aditi the government was expected to see a huge number of people show up for the rally against the sanctions that didn't happen could be an indication of the government is failing to sort of win the hearts and minds of its own people. well yes i think that. my colleagues i think that there is a widespread acknowledgement that. you know there is enough is enough from the that the population of the general population are in the back where i think what i'm after is that people are not really buying into the kind of rhetoric that used to fly you know in previous years and the point that we try to make when we're doing

is that dallas is and where it is is that one of the principal failings perhaps of of the current administration is lack of acknowledgement of the fact that not one has been in crisis or you know since the early 2000 and there's a very recent history that seems to be repeating itself that you know so people are tired of hearing the same. the same sort of messages the tired are you know a lack of movement taking place and actually in many ways also the blame that is being attributed to externals rather than and a real sort of self reflection on what actually internally needs to be done to to sort of overcome the political and economic crisis that that's currently in governing but when patricia these sanctions have in place for almost 20 years and we haven't seen any dramatic impact on the political establishment in zimbabwe why would you think that this time it could be different. i don't think that is going

to be any difference to to to to the current situation in zimbabwe there is a targeted sanctions that that i've been in place of a of a 20 years and that change over time have had absolutely no impact because the current government does not to wish to see any change any change in behavior to how they operate with regard to the political scene. to ation as well as with regard to the election core electoral reforms means that it might to take away from them their power that they hold their power to continue to poland and not at the resources in zimbabwe it to my to take away from them the opportunity that they currently have to continue in their corrupt activities so it's very difficult really to to think about if they would be any

change at all in the removal of any targeted sanctions against individuals as well as organizations that are owned by the p.f. leadership elites. and the inner circle are such. holdings and you know recently we were we were reading about some of the measures that had been put against traffic gura holdings but still that has no impact aditi the and robert mugabe the answer was clear and other militant sanctions are a violation of our national sovereignty and was seeing the same narrative by men and gaga i mean so any indication here that this government could make any concessions in the near future. just before i answer that question i think what i

want to add actually really our previous point is that regarding impact is to actually also say i think what we're actually missing in the current analysis of zimbabwe is yes on the one devil it is very much a business as usual sort of approach by government as a whole in terms of how they are perceiving their their power relationship with with their with their. citizens but actually i think one of the very different things that that is important for us to bear in mind with regard to right now is that it actually is it a much more fractured political party and political entity then under president mugabe and so while on the one hand you can say that you know there's a skepticism around you know the fact that this is a lack of trust in the government i think they are actually also him and with him who are trying to implement the kind of reforms that are necessary. who who

have a compass and of the fact. that you know things cannot be business as usual any longer but the you know it's because of the fractured nature of. our of the politics are of the political party at this point in time there's actually a tussle and it's almost like you see the schizophrenia. sort of engagement between you know one arm of the but is zanu and the other so you know one hand you you know the sort of passing legislation that is supposed to sort of make access to information free you know it's addressing the poster the public. bill but then on the other hand that you know these you know constantly going out and arresting and abusing human rights activists and trying to question violently question. political protests so yeah so just showing patricia the international community the u.s. in particular are saying that they want to see some adverse of reforms particularly

come so the.
