business updates by qatar oh we're going places together. hello and welcome to the al-jazeera news hour live from my headquarters in doha me it is coming up in the next 60 minutes protesters bring hong kong financial district to a standstill as the government blames them for its 1st recession in a decade. returns to the gaza strip overnight less than a day after a cease fire was agreed. refugees at 2 major camps and bosnia struggled with

overcrowding as one to bears down and a kurdish iranian refugee released from a strain he and present kept telling to al-jazeera he won't forget those still fighting for a better life and for roger federer books is plays in the last 4 of the a.t.p. final 20 time grand slam champion beats now that jockey bench in their 1st meeting since their apic wimbledon final back in july. hong kong has confirmed its economy plunged into its 1st recession in a decade it's been blamed on the increasingly violent had gotten of protests and the escalating trade war between the u.s. and china now students have blocked parts of hong kong for a 5th day calling on the government to commit to hold a new local elections on november 24th the demonstrators are gathering for a rally in the city's business to. strike on kong is experiencing one of its most

violent weeks since the protests began in june let's go to our correspondent from the bride he's joining us live from hong kong and loss of activity on friday and sounds like there's a lot again behind you rob talk us through what's happening there is about i have just lost our connection there but i think you were going to ask me about the protests that's taking place this friday at home and got the week is ending as you can i know easy protest it is interesting taking a look at this protest. with. the group demonstration this summer you have a right to have these photos the police very rarely have passion for strong sons was they haven't seen how we have so often seemed to have. clashes we saw was a city it is a so-called still that have organization represents you see the citizens who are

coming out in support of the largely much younger demonstrators having given permission to have a demonstration on. this friday evening and that's what i'm saying i would have to reset the bedding of the grotesqueness here i don't see that oh so all of them do you see much the same kind of highnesses taking to the streets all the lies this is . legal. evidence expected and the next half hour or so. we will see if that takes place. this friday we did as you mentioned there see both of these flash mob type demonstrations bringing the center of how what is 7 called serious i stand still i don't feel like oh you say ok the whole of the central district had to hold those events of that this is having an impact on the economy well i see this as you mentioned the 1st time in 10 years the has slipped into a recession especially in the 3rd quo. so where the trucks are no 93 said

i hear a guy's face said that some of those industries could recover quite quickly so just the toll roads and sector hotels would really go very quickly if this was resolved to borrow got as we'd see that there is little likelihood of that given the stalemate that we have here in hong kong and of course received throughout this week a change in tactics with the the business life of hong kong being impacted everybody to be seeing the weekend as we get into right whether that's traditionally where we've seen the wall filing where out just what happens elizabeth in the next couple of days now back to the studio. rob thank you for that for now that rob mcbride with the latest live in hong kong thank you. let's move on to other news now they have been israeli air strikes in gaza and rocket fired 2 words israel just less than 24 hours after a cease fire was agreed israeli forces and islamic jihad fighters exchange the

cross border fire the violence began on tuesday after the israeli army assassinated a senior leader of the islamic jihad in gaza 34 palestinians have been killed since let's go to our correspondent harry falsities joining us live from gaza so what is the situation there now harry and are there any signs of deescalation on either side. there are certainly signs of that it's now noon here in gaza and since the overnight israeli airstrikes there's been no further rocket fire from the strip despite what islamic jihad said in its statement last night saying that should there be any further action from the enemy that there would be a response that their fingers were on the trigger so far that hasn't been any for the rocket fire israel said it in turn was responding to sporadic bouts of rocket fire throughout the day on thursday and into the evening after the cease fire had been agreed israel targeting various islamic jihad sites around gaza we

heard of 2 lightly injured people a couple of things to note on friday hamas has confirmed that there will be no friday border protests today that is seen as. another attempt i think to try to deescalate the situation this does quite often happen or not often but has happened before during rounds and escalation and also potentially. gives islamic jihad a bit of breathing space they had said that they had secured a commitment that israel would not fire on protesters israel said that the rules and gauge meant had not changed and also we're hearing more about the deadliest single incident of these 48 hours worth of fighting the strike on a house in central gaza which happened overnight from wednesday into thursday 8 members of the same family were killed including 5 children and mission of the israeli army said that it was targeting

a rocket command in central gaza for islamic jihad they now say that they were mistaken that they were trying to the israeli military saying that it was trying to destroy an empty house that it didn't realize there was anyone inside and they're now aware that noncombatants were killed and there are also reports from the neighborhood there saying that the man at the center. what israel did said they were trying to target this islamic jihad local commander that he was not killed in the strike at all and so there are certain certainly quite troubling elements emerging about this very deadly strike in which 8 civilians 8 members of the same families 5 of them children were killed perry thank you for that for now that is harris wofford with the latest live in gaza. to iraq now where grand ayatollah ali al sistani has condemned attacks on peaceful protests in the country and says none of the demonstrations demands have been met at least 4 people were killed in

protest in the capital baghdad on thursday police have been using tear gas and a lot of the and mission against demonstrators iraq's government has taken some measures to address the grievances but many protesters want a complete overhaul of the political system let's go to our correspondent natasha good name she's joining us live from baghdad and we are expecting another friday of big protests today natasha. yes the lizabeth this is my 4th consecutive friday in tough rear square the protesters are 1 as passionate as resolved and clear with their demands as they have been odd day one their demands of the current government resign elections be held the government has initiated some reforms and promises an attempt to appease the protesters this week a draft of a new election law was added to the cabinet it's supposed to be reviewed by the parliament sometime next week and the former governors in babylon and basra were

among the government officials that we were told are facing corruption related offenses corruption being a very big concern among protesters who say this government is looting the country's revenue and none of that is trickling down to them and more than $1600.00 protesters who've been detained were released a few days ago so it's clear the government is attempting to tamp down the protesters anger but there remains a very large divide between the protesters and the government the protesters say after 16 years and successive governments offering what they call empty promises and deteriorating conditions in the country they no longer trust this current government to implement real reform prime minister aagot. i have he has said i've only been in office for one year that there are deep seated issues in this country that will take a long time to address he's been urging patience as well as

a return to normal life i also has resisted calls to resign saying that there's no one to replace him so what we have elizabeth is a political stalemate i spoke to a former member of parliament who resigned as a show of unity with the protesters he says mehdi is a symbol yes but a very important one and if he were to step down it would send a very clear message to the protesters that they're being heard he says he thinks this government is making a gross miscalculation if it hopes to ride this out thinking that the protesters moments of a wane and they'll simply go home and put a protest has been telling you about you know the defense ministry statement in the meantime very confusing and you know conflicting from mock's about the violence that we've seen june protests. yeah so we've now seen more than 300 people killed more than 15000 injured since these protests began on october 1st and many of them

are a result of tear gas i have seen images gruesome images of tear gas canisters lodged in people's heads and stomachs there are so many protestors walking around tahrir with began to just as a ripple result from tear gas burns amnesty international said that it had documented at least 5 cases in baghdad of security forces using what it calls quote military grade tear gas grenades intended to kill not disperse protesters they said that they were being cruel directly at protesters faces and bodies something that protesters confirmed with us so we spoke to the government about this report a few weeks ago it acknowledged the report it investigated and said at that time that these were banned tear gas canisters and they would no longer be used now the defense. mr is saying that the government of iraq did not purchase these tear gas canisters he didn't say exactly how they got into the country he simply said that quote criminal gangs are killing protesters elizabeth i can tell you that

protesters have consistently told us security forces are shooting at them and hurling tear gas canisters at them but they have also told us that black clad men wearing masks are attacking them natasha thank you for the finale that is natasha going to name the nation live in the iraqi capital thank you. and we will continue our coverage a little later in the news hour we'll have more on why many people in baghdad have come to see the city's took to drive his as he was now trials of a new poll a vaccine have begun of the democratic republic of congo at least 3000 people have been infected during the most recent outbreak and many patients who need treatment often find the health center is terrifying but as catherine sawyer reports from north kivu province of all a survivor is helping provide a human touch. it was in monkey where the outbreak started last year and this

relatives of patients are anxious here waiting for news of their loved ones at this treatment center they're away from where the seeker being treated but even here they're not allowed to sit close to or touch each other and they're all to be more heated for symptoms of we're separated by this one because the status of the relatives on the other side is not clear that is evelyn she's come to see how to we called nephew it has just been confirmed he has a very evelyn. it must be hard not to be able to put your nephew i ask. i'm just happy he's getting help but yes it is hard to see him and not be able to touch i can only look at him through a glass but i'm hoping so you know i'll be able to take him home. walking into an airborne the treatment center can feel frightening and for those waiting for test results while in isolation even wass the only human contact is a health worker in ida contamination suits we were not allowed into treatment areas

such as this where this men and women are recovering when there are deaths in the community people get afraid some people get abandoned or even killed that's why we have to put in place a message that works in terms of educating the people. but up to 1000 people have now been cured and this has brought hope to others. is believed to be immune to the disease and along with other survivors takes care of the sick the 6 month old baby's mother died after giving bath and is looking after a creche next to the center parents of other children here are also 8 the sick or dead. when i was cured i went harm and my family welcomed me but the neighbors were very afraid they could not even come close to me i chose this job to comfort those suffering. the disease. that has killed at least 2000 people including 600 children

but health workers status is to get here early enough have a good chance of staying alive catherine sawyer al-jazeera is democratic republic of congo. that's lebanon weather reports that major political parties have agreed on a nomination for the country's next prime minister but demonstrators gathered outside the house of mohamed suffer the angry at the halt suffer the has been accused in the past of involvement in high profile corruption cases the former finance minister could replace the heavy he resigned amid ongoing protests let's go to our correspondent. he's joining us live from the capital beirut to tell us more about suffer the him why he is a completely unacceptable figure to many in lebanon. well is it with as you mentioned a cell for these a former finance minister he served in that role up until 2015 under then prime minister najib mikati and one of the almost instantly when those reports came out

that you could possibly be nominated for the premiership here in lebannon there was all these reports about his past in terms of corruption as we know obviously these protests that have taken place over now 30 days have been centered across. the issue of corruption and the lack of governance here are without some of the stuff of the for example one of the cases that a lot of the demonstrators have been pointing out as well as activists online has been for example one of the. contacts that he was responsible for which was renting out prime location land on the sea front here in beirut what is now known as they threw in a bay for as little as true dollars a year are from the states or he is paying $2.00 a year to the states or permits or for this land and then renting that off to private companies for $10000.00 or. a year or so you can see in terms of just how

deep the corruption with regard to that just one specific deal is with regard to this particular press some kind of a subject the obviously there are other issues where people been pointing to not just him but also his 2nd wife who was probably a member of parliament. either close allies to him so the fact that the political establishment could assume that presenting somebody like him who within like i say i was of just merely reporting the possibility of him being a nominee for the prime minister premiership shows that either they're so out of touch as to how angry a section of lebanese society are or the fact that they may believe that after 30 days of protests that they can now maybe get away with continuing this thought of quo because maybe they think that there isn't stamina in this anti establishment protest movement jamal thank you for that for now that is john shadegg with the nation live and david thank you. well pending more ahead on news al including why

south korea could be forced to reconsider its 7 decade military alliance with the us i don't support the head coach of china's football team quit says 28000000 dollars a year job fara * will be here to tell us why. now the u.s. is calling on south korea to pay more towards the cost of stationing u.s. troops in the country that demand was made during a high level defense policy meeting and soul but it's left some and soul questioning the u.s. commitment to their relationship and fairing that north korea may fail emboldened lopez hardy on reports a yearly security meeting between allies from the u.s. and south korea smiles and courtesies to begin but later fears that their military alliance may be threatened with the money. president donald trump wants

$5000000000.00 a year from sought for having $28000.00 u.s. soldiers stationed in south korea that's more than 5 times would a pace now but korea is a wealthy country and could and should pay more to help offset the cost of defense . some south korean legislators have called a demand unacceptable and disappointing but the defense minister is being more diplomatic. than me south korea and the u.s. have reconfirmed the common goals of the complete denuclearization of north korea and establishing peace on the peninsula. the presence of u.s. troops is intended as a deterrent to north korea but the demand for more money has led some in south korea to question washington's commitment to its alliance with some critics calling for a full us withdrawal the us is also pressuring south korea to reverse its decision to end an intelligence sharing agreement with japan it fears that move initially

triggered by trade disputes could end up helping north korea and china. trump has long accused nato allies and japan of not paying their fair share of defense cost but by putting pressure on south korea many fear the u.s. is also straining their decades old alliance can see a little bit so the young al-jazeera. well let's get more on this now we're joined by june pock a political economist she's joining us live from the south korean capital seoul very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so what do you make of the reports you know that the u.s. administration wants to increase the cost of u.s. troops from $1.00 to $1000000000.00 to nearly $5000000000.00 and what do you think is driving that demand for more money is that the u.s. president has spoken about this a lot in the past. well in the election cycle where. the u.s. is engaged in right now it could be used as

a tactic for the transfer of ministration to keep the argument going on that lesser defense costs would be encouraging incurring in terms of the south korean u.s. alliance maintenance that's number one and from the south korean perspective there is a question regarding whether there are those kind of a request is geared toward a real commitment and for further engagement with regard to the us are ok alliance or just a tactic in order to know. compel south korea to decline and to withdraw our arsenal troops i mean the south koreans have said that the new amount as unacceptable do you see this being resolved or could we see the pullout of at least some and then american troops from south korea i think there could be both possibilities south korea at this point doesn't seem to be able to. fulfill

or satisfy the extent of the demand that the u.s. is requiring so there could be. a halfway reached half way in terms of partial withdrawal accompanied by some increase in the amount but not totally the full amount that the u.s. requires there's something like i think 28000 troops american troops in south korea what would a pashtun withdrawal mean for regional security. a partial withdrawal roughly around 6000 troops could. not threaten the ally and but at the same time doing some kind of political signing true to the american public that there has been some human in regard to the contrary with south korea but what about the regional security you know between south korea and north korea would a with

a troll embolden north korea does it benefit them. from a north korean perspective of course it will benefit them because that to terence tactic would be weakened but what do we not korean president has always been as a small withdrawal of u.s. troops so it would not satisfy north korean demands i. must park it's very good to get your expertise on this we do appreciate your time for now that's june part live in seoul thank you. now turkey has deported 7 german citizens at says a link to i saw that the 2 men 4 women and a child landed at berlin's take an airport overnight they deportations are part of an effort by turkey to repatriate foreign fighters held in turkish jails now in the u.k. counter-terrorism police arrested a man at heathrow airport hours after turkey said it had to portland a british eisel suspect let's go to our correspondent john mccain he's joining us

live from berlin so what happens to these 7 people that have landed in berlin dominic and how is all of this you know playing on a wider scale in germany. well elizabeth in one sense the 7 people you were describing there they are from or the family group its parents adult children and then younger children of the adult children if you see what i mean the reporting in the german news media today is that these people are not thought to have as it were paid any allegiance to eisele or to have carried out activities in the middle east in the name of eisel and therefore they are as it were scot free they can go where they want to there was a suggestion that they are from the hill this time area of germany and they may well be on their way back there their private individuals therefore because they're not charged with anything then they are able to go about their normal lives in so

far as they can what else is happening today 'd while 2 other people are being returned from turkey to germany to women now it is reported that the 2 ladies concerned are under investigation in germany and that when they arrive in germany would not sure which airport it will be later in the day that the police will seek to question them to search them because i say they are under investigation but again there is no charge per se against these 2 women nor indeed against the 7 people who returned to take the airport yesterday the important thing to say here is that the the way this is being reported and indeed the way that the political classes are talking about it is quite interesting the governing parties spokes person on this this matter this security area arm ensures that he says that people should be careful not to inflame hysteria around this he says that the people concerned were not active in i saw and that therefore they don't pose the sort of

risk some more lurid media headlines might suggest other parties are saying well look the german government knew about this for some time why didn't they have better procedures in place as it were to process these people when the. they are returned but it is worth making the point as i say that there is no charge against any of these individuals right now and as a consequence they are not posts suspected of any great degree of involvement with i saw with the proviso that these 2 women will be questioned by the police when they arrive back in germany dominic thank you for that for now that is dominic cain with the latest live in berlin thank you. now thousands of protesters have rallied outside georgia's parliament after politicians failed to pass a lector over forms. the governing georgian dream party has promised to shift to a new voting system by 2020 the constitutional amendment was one of the main demands of anti-government protests during the summer. now conditions at 2 migrant

camps and bosnia herzegovina are being described as unlivable more than 2000 people have been living there near the border with croatia and that is well beyond capacity thousands of people entered that area of bosnia hoping to cross into the european junior and well let's get more on this now we're joined by peter vander overwrought is the bosnia representative at international organization for migration and he's just returned to stereo from near the camp in bihar very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so do we have clarity yet on whether the camp will be closed today as reported. well i think we have 2 problems that are coming together a $100.00 to point out it's we have the humanitarian situation bush and crew chiefs get a structure which at a military needs are perfectly legal case people problems of bush exide to an alternative science and forcefully the critical decision making to identifying

these alternatives sunsets has been extremely slow and while there has been a decision at the federal level to allocate to new sites will encounter he ever will. has not yet had axes to see how many people can be located there and what's worse are required to put science in operation but it's not just a matter of bush we also have probably about. 700 people sleeping outside and abandoned buildings in abandoned factories across the cell accountant and around the expository who also find themselves in very precarious unity different conditions now the local authorities have made the situation even more complicated by treating the 2 existing official states interests in the us in the old which together hold 2300 people they threaten today asked to close those cities as well as i sincerely hope that that will not happen because if we would be forced to

close the cinders then we would add $2300.00 people that are currently being humane conditions being centers at a railroad which he didn't reach through to tell services provided rice also stands for the situation is frankly getting more complicated every day and and you know what is it going to take to resolve this because the opinion has given bosnia but i have said 4000000 euro since 28 and to help manage that like a crisis the financial resources are there that has committed to. supporting additional migrant said to. her organization and others out there to provide support so what's missing. well i think what he's missing fairly easy to state the bully is in the central us country but the issue of market documentation is a go but those of the state abilities he's very important i think and high time now to the council of ministers to collectively take responsibility and to take the political decisions that are required to indeed give. more to additional

approve this is the answer we do that has been missing for the past few months this is not a new issue women others have been born he says generally that they're going to need to get ready in trees its capacity for a coalition and so for those lies was not heeded and really we are related to 5 to midnight and i hope that that the council of ministers will move towards in the next day or so to make sure these new science can. immediately and can you remind us why these new sites and needed the cause in fact there's no i believe out of trust there's no water as to how concerned are you about you know how the cold weather is going to affect people that well i mean i think we have to be very blunt if i may if we don't have new sides with say the next week or 2 and then he spoke of rationing do we brew until at least the rules of inclusion and also

potentially of people who are sleeping in abandoned buildings around in a cellar jensen goes away he's getting colder and some people lose their lives because of political interaction less event we really appreciate your time on this thank you that has paid to vent and have all it. thank you thank you. now the flood has to tally and city of venice is facing a nother exceptionally high tide the government's declared a state of emergency their prime minister just have a contest promise and compensation for residents and businesses the venice lagoon tide picked on tuesday the highest recorded level in 53 more than 85 percent of the city's historic sites around the water. now in a few moments we'll have the weather with kevin but still ahead on the news hour on the take off of some flights in south africa as 3000 airline staff go on strike on the ground in johannesburg plus. a cry for justice

and 200 people in the novel and you know i'm on this. point are you met real again . which are really you know or. are you know very harsh conditions. so that's going to. going to use this opportunity to raise this initial who could pressure. was strangely are to recognize you know our rights because we won our innocent people and what that was then government is really really inhumanity benteke. it's not sir it's unacceptable. the u.s. is reportedly threatening to have egypt sanctions of its plan to buy russian warplanes cairo has a $2000000000.00 agreement with moscow to buy more than 20 fighter jets and

a letter seen by the wall street journal the u.s. secretaries of state and defense more in egypt it's risking sanctions and urged to cancel the deal now thousands of south african airways stahl have gone on strike quoting for an increase in wages they're also protesting against job cuts that are part of the airline's restructuring plan south african airways has announced 100 use its workforce by moving a 1st many of its flights have been cancelled on friday and saturday let's go to our correspondent farm in the militias joining us live from johannesburg with what's happening behind you from into. my well let's give a few 100 protesters here some of those striking workers you just mentioned have gathered close to the art tumble international airport to demonstrate against the job cuts but also wanting certain demands be met and many of those demands revolve around the disarray that south african airways finds itself in the 2 to

a number of reasons many a match of it around looting corruption and just poor management but to give us a better idea of some of those demands respect to what i believe to be much older she's the spokesperson for the national union of metalworkers in south africa you're leading the strike what are some of the demands that you push forward to going to ways. well we only have to demand as one side and the south african cabin cross so since the one is a demand for a wage increase of 8 percent and the other is a demand for insourcing now both these demands are crucial to kuli the demand for insourcing is a as we all know is cash drop it's debt laden and part of the reason there is the and it is because of rampant looting corruption and mismanagement its biggest. spend is $25000000000.00 per annum on procurement there are several forensic reports which have exposed the corruption involved in some of those procurement

contracts and our issue as workers is that we are refusing to accept the explanation from management where they're claiming that poor they came in that they're taking steps to change workers in order to save the airline and yet they've taken absolutely no steps to deal with the rampant looting and corruption and mismanagement and this is effectively what the strikes are about. the what is the concern by people here who believe there's no way out rather than striking when these other going a way to say that this type of strike will only further krugel so that fricken airways do you do you feel that there's no choice we are really in a situation where we have no choice as unions we've tried everything within our power who've taken a say to call on the issue of corruption and then for china to force them to implement forensic reports they've actually for tests import so they waste that money that they didn't have fighting unions when they should have actually simply
