curfew is obviously a method by the government to carry out its its plans by. evacuating the main street areas. of the city from the demonstrators guns traitors. nationwide protests began at the start of the month but pause for 2 weeks as they waited for iraq's leaders to respond to that demands they returned on friday with renewed anger was i know somebody later today yours are not asking for jobs nor for services the young men want radical a real change from the regime. thousands of university and school students defied orders and skipped class to join the protests on monday. it's a huge challenge for prime minister up to maddy who's only been in power for a year he's promised to reshuffle the cabinet and introduce reforms but he refused

were not incurred and were video circulating online that were fabricated not tampered with which are not from the province of karbala i reiterate this news as baseless. nash me is a political analyst and professor of international relations at university he says it's unlikely protests will stop until the government resigns. i think you know the demand of the protests to be very wide. yesterday and i think today. even all the decision decided from the iraqi. government i think it's not enough maybe for one years or 6 miles. it's really very enough but now i think it's not the bowl of a snow it's falling down and i think nothing can stop it's iraqi people now with the street and you know yesterday in karbala and you're yesterday in the night of

baghdad many protests that they'd each decide the near for their green zone and shouting. i think it's not noted because you know now in general they're getting it's on it's empty it's not like and i go a lot of days and i think now the government they don't have any choice just to resign and to boyd to the iraqi demands but i think today and tomorrow their demand will be wider and wider kurdish fighters have just a few hours left to withdraw from areas along turkey's border in northern syria or face turkish forces under a russian brokered deal why p.g. troops have until 1500 g.m.t. on tuesday to leave the so-called safe and set up under the agreement this will be patrolled by russian and turkish troops so joins us now live from some little

funny of the turkey syria border so is that now cleared of kurdish fighters. well according to turkish officials still not yet said they're speaking to their russian defense ministry counterparts in and we have been hearing statements from the foreign minister to the defense minister saying that the agreement that was reached in sochi between the presidents of russia and turkey there are elements still remaining on the border according to the agreement 30 kilometer zone would be called save zone between the lobby of the russell and old kurdish fighters were supposed to leave this area kurdish fighters belonging to devide which turkey says is an offshoot of the p.k. k. a terrorist organization according to turkey u.s. and the e.u. but so far we have seen statements from both sides as the deadline continues to take down we're hearing from kurdish fighters saying that they would believe only if they're given guarantees this is in contrast to what they said earlier that they

will abide by the such agreement we've heard on twitter from the lead off their military wing general muslims saying that he will he will he will need assurances before his fighters can leave these areas according to russia and in the last few days we've heard from moscow 'd warning these kurdish fighters that if you do not leave then turkey will come in according to this agreement right along with the forces off russia and will be patrolling this 10 kilometer region deep into syrian territory there's also another interesting aspect of this with the american forces now we've also heard from the russian defense ministry saying that it is incumbent upon the americans to remove not just the weapons but also the fighters that they had given to kurdish fighters in their fight against isis because they are a nato ally and as turkey and its president says that they will take all of this area with syria by any means possible to clear it of kurdish fighters they want to help of their nato allies to do it all right we'll leave it there thanks

g.c.c. crisis in june 2 10173 gulf nations imposed a blockade on carter cutting off air and ceilings and withdrawing diplomats and since then quoted samir is been trying to mediate and bring an end to the crisis. and. it is imperative to draw your attention to the un restoring around our region which poses grave threats and repercussions not only on our stability and security but on our future generations it is no longer acceptable nor toller ball to have an ongoing dispute among our brotherly gulf cooperation council state such a dispute as we conduct capabilities and undermined outgoings this requires from us all to immediately rise above our differences influences and restore our friendly relations. parts of the u.s. state of california are bracing for strong winds on tuesday which are expected to further flare up the wildfires thick smoke plumes could be seen from space

a survivor of the genocide there are people who beg me to kill the person when they're suffering new but it didn't have the power to do it he's dedicated his life to searching the woods for bones of the victims of the srebrenica massacre. and the cure is to draw. you know hope of finally laying the past to rest and giving peace to the victims' families if i can just find a finger i could bury bone hunter on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap the headlines protesters

10th straight day it's adding pressure to an already troubled economic situation which is stoked weeks of antigovernment protests the governor of lebanon's central bank says a solution is needed to prevent a financial collapse in the future stephanie decker joins us now live from beirut so how dire things how dire are things becoming financially right now the banks closed again for another day. when it's causing a lot of tension sammy just to update you there are it clashes happening on the right road to bridge which is just a little bit away from where we are there's been 2 roadblocks there and there are injuries among the protesters we understand that supporters of hezbollah and amal 2 of the main movements here came down to the streets to try and open the road open the roadblocks there's been a standoff back and forth the police the security forces are trying to get involved we understand from sources on the ground that there have been injuries and just

interesting that we've been here are the last couple of hours this road has also been blocked and there was a lot of panic here once news came out of what was happening on the ring road a lot of the protesters saying that those supporters were coming this way the security forces then came and opened the roads just gives you a sense of the tensions on the ground of the fear because of course many people have always said that a lot of these groups more than it's been in government have armed men have what they will call potential folks to stir up trouble on the streets politically we are also hearing of potential significant movement happening we are expecting according to reports the prime minister sat easy to talk later on today they're also indications that potentially he is considering giving his resignation now this is something that we know how there's been a lot of back and forth in the lebanese media saying that he had offered this to the president but the president didn't want. except it also has sadness that like the leader of hezbollah didn't want to accept it so these are tense times these are

uncertain times i think significantly we're going to have to wait and see about how the next few hours on fall politically and also on the streets but certainly a lot of tension sammy and something will need to happen soon to try and resolve what is a real bubbling situation for a 70 deca there from beirut now a belgian court has delayed the hearing on a arrest warrant for former catalan leader carlos proved tomorrow until december it followed a brief court session in brussels this morning where the mall is living in self exam to avoid prosecution by spain he's wanted for his role in catalonia failed independence with 201712 of his former colleagues were sentenced earlier this month for their part in the vote. 2 men have been seriously injured in a shooting at a mosque in bowie on southwest france police say the 2 were trying to stop another man so i think fired from the mosque when they were shot the man is in his eighty's

he was arrested shortly afterwards reuters news agency says the suspect had been an election candidate for the far right national rally party now britain's opposition labor leader jeremy corbett has told his m.p.'s he will support an early election it comes as prime minister boris johnson attempts to push for a december vote again on tuesday his 1st attempt for december 12th failed on monday because he didn't have 2 thirds support from m.p.'s let's get the latest now from lawrence leigh in london so this is quite a turnaround isn't it lawrence. well yes though i mean you know that in a way the labor party and boxed itself into a corner to be honest because the other opposition parties the scottish nationalists and the liberal democrats had said that they supported an election and would support changing the law to allow boris johnson and themselves to have that

election with a simple majority in parliament instead of 2 thirds which you mentioned in your introduction and so once they'd done that then it made the labor party look particularly ridiculous because of all the other rebel opposition parties saying we're happy to have an election and low budget saying well we're not it just makes them look as if they're running away from it and being cowardly and so in that sense they have no choice but to back it. and so entirely predictably we're not going to have an election and the only debate going on is it is a totally insignificant one with the bickering with themselves about whether it should be on december 11th or the 12th but an election is now definite going to happen in needs to because the european union was had insisted it was only ever going to do it back to the extension if there was a big event attached to its debt to break the deadlock like an election and so in that sense they had no choice but to do it or lawrence where does that leave the whole briggs it process then if we're going to have an election it seems some time in early december. well boris johnson's bill has now been suspended

for the time being so the be no more debates about that so the election will happen without a brix it deal having been done the conservatives plainly will go into the election saying look put us back in office and here's your bricks it deal it's on the table it's been sent off already by the european union lots of conservatives quite nervous about it because they think that the public don't like boris johnson still very much and they could lose votes anyway to the brits it party which will say boris johnson promised he was going to do bracks it by the end of october and he's a liar because it didn't happen so vote for us instead so the notional idea that the conservatives are going to win really easily may not actually be true and there's every chance i think that we could in that with a hung parliament instead you better keep that crystal ball handy then lawrence should be talking about this again from london as lansley top white house expert on ukraine is due to testify the impeachment inquiry into president don trump on

tuesday some politicians believe alexander vigilant could provide details about why and how u.s. military aid to ukraine was delayed it comes as the u.s. house of representatives prepares to vote this week on whether to formalize the investigation the move is in response to complaints from trump the process is illegitimate kristin salumi has more from washington d.c. . this is been a main talking point for republicans that the impeachment is a sham because house lawmakers have yet to take a formal vote authorizing the hearings in fact last week a group of republican lawmakers stormed a hearing room where a witness was giving evidence saying that it was being done in secret even though republicans were taking part in the process because the hearing wasn't out in the open they were in open to the public they were critical of that last week a federal judge actually refuted this claim and sided with democrats saying that

they were well within their rights to hold these hearings that this had been done before prior to a formal vote on an impeachment but the administration is appealing that decision and nancy pelosi says that while it is a baseless excuse she's attempting to take that excuse away from the republicans and not give them reason to justify withholding documents and preventing witnesses from cooperating now the white house may still try to claim that witnesses have immunity and don't have to testify democrats have been dealing with that by taking them to court and trying to get it resolved there but that's a process that's likely to take months to resolve so by changing their tactics democrats are saying that they are just going to use this as evidence of the administration trying to obstruct justice and bolster their case for impeachment rather than trying to fight to get the witnesses in front of them well scott lucas

is a professor of u.s. and international politics at the university of birmingham he says president troubled definitely be worried about what bin has to say. he's the top official on the u.s. national security council for ukraine he was one of the white house officials who probably spoke with the cia official who brought the formal complaint in august that started this process and eventually started the impeachment inquiry because denman heard the phone call between donald trump and the ukrainian president vladimir is that once in july 25th was in which trump raised the matter of the investigations so the republicans and trump cannot say this is secondhand information and on top of that the man is a decorated veteran a ukrainian american that has served in the military forces is a latina colonel so he can't be dismissed as trump has done with the other witnesses as a radical an elected bureaucrat as dramatic as this high if you go even further for example charles company who was the deputy national security advisor is holding out

against testifying to the committee and trying to defy a subpoena john bolton the national security adviser maybe subpoenaed by comp a of the 2nd estate might be subpoenaed so in other words there's a competition here the white house is continuing to try to block this employee they have failed to a significant extent they are still succeeding with some witnesses but in the end how high will this go in terms of the taking of testimony before we get the full vote on impeachment which will probably take place about the end of this year in the house of representatives. the biggest protests in a generation show no signs of letting up in july that's even after president sebastian pinera replaced the 3rd of his cabinet in response to days of demonstrations security forces clashed again with protesters as tens of thousands marched through the capital on monday our latin america. reports from santiago.

there the biggest demonstrations in chile since the end of its military dictatorship 3 decades ago and like then the country is under the watch of human rights organizations oh they're arriving in chile to investigate charges of police brutality. in front of chile supreme court many protesters were black as a sign of mourning for those allegedly killed or seriously injured by soldiers and riot police during ongoing demonstrations they were looking for someone to be responsible. and there's been accusations to the president and to the. minister of interior who has their hands when i was here with the university of chile's human rights institute has received more than 600 complaints of abuse of force leading in some cases to blindness. to come in we are talking specifically about attacks against totally peaceful demonstrators who have been shot with rubber and mello pellets directly to the face and who have been gravely

injured young people who are now permanently disabled. the list of demands on the street is expanding not just with calls for justice but also for the president to be held personally responsible for the alleged abuses of human rights this as president being at our struggles to find new ways to diffuse the ongoing political upheaval here. just hours after lifting the state of emergency announced the biggest cabinet reshuffle of his. presidency replacing 8 ministers including his cousin the interior minister who last week called protesters criminals. chile is not the same country it was 2 weeks ago chile has changed and the government also has to change to come from the new challenges of the new york times if the field. but the large number of protesters still on the streets suggest chile hasn't

changed president says that of authorities have committed abuses they'll be investigated and punished. but neither the cabinet overhaul nor the lifting of the state of emergency is likely to return calm to chile where protesters are already organizing new mass demonstrations for the entire week to see in human santiago. now south africa is experiencing what many farmers say is the driest season they can remember the government imposed emergency measures for me the miller reports from the northern cape where some areas see no rain for 6 years. the northern cape province is known for its wide open spaces mining cattle and sheep farming shadrack whole footed tartar has been raising cattle and bump lasts for close to 40 years and says the dry conditions and low rainfall in the past 5 is the worst he's ever seen he's spending a $1000.00 a week on feed for his cattle because they have nowhere to graze on the parched

land they are by and by about. it's very very difficult we've had very little rain since 2017 this year we've had nothing at all i'm selling my cows because of the drought and i've saved nothing. he sells his cattle at a local auction which are more frequent these days as farmers get rid of livestock that are a drain on their finances but the market is flooded and livestock prices are low another farmer says trying to survive the drought is almost impossible but. if the rains don't come in puts pressure on us because we can't farm and can't provide jobs the knock on effect is that people don't have money to spend in town businesses are suffering because no one is buying anything. the farming lobby group agree it's a says at least $60000.00 agricultural workers in 3 provinces have lost their jobs and the industries lost millions of dollars the government is providing some relief

to farmers battling the drought it's spending $2000000.00 to buy and distribute fodder to farmers to feed their animals but this is a short term plan and many say it's not enough water restrictions are being enforced in cities across south africa. for the 1st time in years the water level in the ball dam which supplies johannesburg and the capital pretoria has fallen to just under half full that's especially critical because south africans use 320 liters of water every day the global average is about 170 liters the situation is very serious however. it is not one that calls for. panic it is under control. there reliable supply of water at an acceptable credit card quantity and quality is essential for the future development of south africa the government is expected to announce new water conservation plans and how it's going

to improve supply infrastructure but the concern to ensure taps don't run dry is clear with the government calling restrictions on water use the new normal for me to malaya al-jazeera northern cape province south africa. and let's take you through some of the headlines here and al-jazeera now protesters calling for political change are back on the streets of the iraqi capital baghdad demonstrators defied the crackdown and curfew the government enforced on monday more than 1000 people have been killed so far a nationwide protests earlier governor denied anyone was killed in the province. or quest from all media representatives to observe professionalism and maintain journalistic integrity some false news has been spreading about the whole province of karbala part of a media campaign against our province there are fair brigaded and false news making
