republic of congo for oil fields anger against u.n. peacekeepers accused of failing to provide protection and a grim task for flood survivors in kenya digging to find the remains of missing loved ones. i am. thank you very much for joining us u.s. president donald trump assigned to bills into law that back hong kong's for democracy movement american sanctions can now be imposed on chinese and hong kong officials deemed responsible for human rights abuses and on kong special trade status will be reviewed every year the territory's leaders say it will damage relations with the u.s. while china has expressed extreme regret on the move saying it will respond with firm count and measures will get more reaction from beijing with andrew thomas very shortly for a sabbatical hane in washington d.c. patty president tom's team had voiced reservations about these bills why did he

sign them. because he had no choice congress forced his hand this vote was near unanimous there was just one voting no so that was plenty of people that could override a presidential veto so the president aware that you was sort of forced into this not wanting to see china react sending out a fairly unusual statement saying that he signed these bills out of respect for president g. china and the people of hong kong they also put in their announcement that he had signed these 2 bills that he believes some provisions interfere with the president's constitutional authority and they would be treating the bill if with that or in mind what exactly does that mean well they didn't spell out what provisions or how that could come to force but this could be a powerful tool if the president chose to use it it's not at all clear he's going to not only does the let him sanction people in hong kong and china but if that special trade status that could be so critical if the secretary of state was to come back and say no china is not going along with the policy hong kong doesn't

have enough independence they could basically take that status away that would have a huge impact on trade but bigger than that it could send a signal to a financial markets to investors that hong kong is not a safe place to park your money so that is the big concern it does seem unlikely that they're going to take these steps the other bill that the president signed more concretely it stops american companies from giving or selling any thing to hong kong authorities that could be used against crowds such as tear gas canisters or rubber bullets so what the president is going to do it's not clear congress has given him this authority has sent the signal that he doesn't want to use it so we'll wait to see what the secretary of state says but for this president the big concern is the trade war he needs rural america to get reelected and right now they're really hurting because of this trade war so it seems unlikely that the president would reject that special status but congress has forced his hand and it is now the law of the land you can do it if you wants to thank you for that for us

in washington now over to thomas in beijing andrew as patty said this could complicate trade negotiations what's the reaction in beijing. well it's been very swift has been very firm we normally have to wait until mid afternoon beijing time for the foreign ministry to talk about international affairs like this we weren't expecting a statement 1st thing in the morning or 1st aired in the last 25 minutes one has come out on a regular bit of it because it is very strong you've got to remember beijing was pushing back against this u.s. legislation all week they knew it was due to be part of the u.s. senate then when it was passed each moment they brought in diplomats here in beijing they brought in the u.s. ambassador to china just on tuesday to warn him not to allow the president passed legislation has passed and this is the reaction it's a very violates international law as the foreign ministry statement says it brazenly supports violence with the ultimate goal to destroy hong kong's prosperity and stability and hinder china's great course of rejuvenation so what the chinese

foreign ministry is saying is that this is not just about hong kong this is about the u.s. meddling in internal chinese affairs and the same goes on to say that china will retaliate and say how but it says that china will tell you they are absolutely furious about this furious that the united states and indeed other countries but in this instance the united states involving itself in what they see as a purely domestic chinese issue and the fact that the u.s. has gone ahead despite very very strong language all week warning donald trump to ignore essentially the u.s. senate vote and veto this bill while they are absolutely furious about it we advise the u.s. it still says not to persist otherwise china will definitely retaliate these efforts their intentions it says are doomed. thank you for that andrew thomas bringing us reaction there from beijing. a not in a dramatic escalation of iraq's anti-government protests crowds have towards c.e. raney and consulates in the holy city of najaf they accused tehran affronting up

iraq's government which they've been writing against for 2 months now they to be everything else was hundreds of anti-government protesters stormed the compound that the iranian consulate in the jaffa $55.00 to tie a 1000 blankets and replacing the iranian flag with an iraqi one was analysts say the symbolic importance of the attack in a shia majority city cannot be understated of this is the city where the ayatollah khomeini used to live it's considered to be you know the heart of the shia muslim world and iran thought that it had the population the iraqi shia population on its side in terms of its you know regional policies clearly that's not the case. protesters say rand is exerting to much power in iraq they will directly government

to take action to limit it was it's the 2nd time this month that in a rainy and consulate has been targeted by iraqi protest as 3 weeks ago security forces killed to demonstrate is in the city of kabul and. both attacks feed into the wide anti government protest movement that the gulf direct since october so it's unclear you know what options the government in iran has in response to these protests i don't think they have very good options and as i i suspect right now there is deep panic and paranoia in terror on over what happened today in niger. the challenge for iran is how to respond without alienating the shia community upon which its provide to expand its reach. victoria gay to be out. at least 1000 people have been killed during another rebel attack in the east of the democratic republic of congo this is

drug cartels as stereoscopes it's designed to disrupt cartel finances and impose travel bans on cartel leaders but they are warnings they will end up backfiring alan fischer reports from mexico city. the death of 9 americans in a cartel ambush earlier this month sparked widespread outrage the victims 3 women 6 children were traveling through a remote area in northern mexico when they were attacked jewel u.s. mexican citizens the family the labatt ins demanded the white house days ignorant mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations you're going to do a telephone interview with a right wing talk host president donald trump said that process is underway i've been working on that for the last 90 days you know designation is that that is you know i don't go through a process of mexico's drug cartels or huge operations they control large chunks of the country and they're involved in drug trafficking assassinations kidnapping and political corruption being designated

a terrorist organization by america means it becomes illegal for anyone to knowingly support the groups if banks realize they handle any cartel funds they must block the money under and form the government a new members are banned from entering the u.s. and so taking this move while it might benefit the president in the united states it might make people feel righteous and justified in satisfied here that we're taking stronger steps ultimately may make it harder to do business with the mexicans and we need to be a team with them in order to get this problem solved mexico's policy on fighting the cartels has changed under the new president and raise money well as obrador has been in office almost exactly a year he believes in hugs not bullets and that social conditions need to change to make the cartels less economically powerful got bit as young see cooperation yes. interventionism no but one expert says if the

u.s. president follows through on his threat to clear out the cartels and uses military action there could be significant mexican backlash with this they do a side he can stay in mexico and organize who are one attack or something against the mexican cartels in mexico soil and this is the problem because mexico is being a sinner listing that because their country. does it any difference of that the mexican government has had donald trump make threats like this before remember when he threatened to close down the entire border and then backed away they will of course start making plans but they're hoping that the white house will back away from what many people here see as a dangerous and dramatic overreaction alan fischer al-jazeera mexico city apple's map and weather applications of started displaying the disputed crimea region as part of russian territory but the change is only visible to users inside

says white house stories informed trump in august before they told congress a white house correspondent kimberly hockett says the report boosts for the democrats case for impeachment the new york times is quoting 2 unnamed sources that have familiarity with this case and say that it was the president releasing that aid but only after he had been briefed that there was a whistle blower complaint that that briefing took place in august but we know that $391000000.00 an aid to ukraine military assistance not released until september we're also learning that that hold on a came the very same day that the president had a very pivotal phone call with the ukrainian president vladimir is a lengthy that that is the day july 25th the transcript of that call being released where the president requests of the lenski that the ukrainian government do us a favor it is those words that democrats have been seizing on as

a foundation for their impeachment inquiry now apparently the withhold on this so upset in to at least 2. staff members in the office of management and budget that they in fact resign so significant revelations that only bolster the democrats' case that the president leverage his political powers for political purposes britain's opposition leader has accused the prime minister of putting the country's public funded national health service up for sale jeremy corbin says a proof is in newly revealed documents as he seeks to ensure the n.h.s. stays a major election issue paul brennan has a report from london. public services and the n.h.s. in particular are the central theme in labour's election campaign in a post written with the u.k.'s free health service be undermined by predatory trade deals with us pharmaceutical companies president trump this year said the n.h.s.

was on the table so n.h.s. or anything else are a lot a lot more than but still he later backtracked labor says it now has the proof 451 pages of it these uncensored documents the forest johnson's denials in absolute tatters voters need to ask themselves some very serious questions is the n.h.s. safe in boris johnson's homes we've now got evidence on the boris johnson the n.h.s. is on the table and will be up for sale labor says renegotiated patent rules could add an extra $640000000.00 a week to the n.h.s. drugs bill the documents show that in november 27 seen the u.k.'s lead negotiator wrote the impact of some patent issues raised on n.h.s. access to generic drugs i.e. cheaper drugs will be a key consideration going forward the following march the minutes of the meeting notes the u.s. approach makes total market access the baseline assumption of the trade

negotiations. the prime minister has dismissed labor's claims as a complete diversion and flatly denied them we are absolutely resolved that there will be new sale of the n.h.s. no privatisation the n.h.s. is not on the table in any way not quite true according to this former trade negotiator it doesn't appear that for example the n.h.s. or food standards have been red lines as far as we can tell we haven't seen anywhere in the text saying the u.k. site said this was not on the table and could not be covered in a trade deal if it doesn't say that then it's on the table the scottish national party has reiterated its proposal for new legislation to definitively exclude the n.h.s. from future trade talks this will get in t. that c deals will not under main the founding principles of the n.h.s. nor open it up to profit driven exploitation documents don't commit a johnson government to actually agree a deal involving the n.h.s.

but they do seem to show that the issues have been discussed. labor's general election campaign has been buffeted by headwinds in the past 48 hours and the release of this massive trove of documents is an attempt by the labor party to get back on solid ground the n.h.s. the question is is there enough mud in here to stick to the conservatives or brennan al-jazeera central london. the impact of air pollution on our health may be far worse than 1st thoughts that's according to researchers who examined millions of older people's hospital admissions in the u.s. they cross reference a patient sale miss with the levels of pollution where they live they found that diseases including parkinsons and your narry talk infections are associated with poor air quality pollution has already been linked to brain cancer strokes miscarriages and mental health problems so let's speak to feisal parish about this his director of the global environment center and his cut from bangkok thank you so much for being with us what do you make of the findings in this report that say

that there are a wide range of conditions linked to air pollution you know just how bad is dirty air for our bodies a defeatist study builds on earlier research which has shown that certain pollutions do have very significant health effect not only were spurgeon problems but also the very small particles owners pm $2.00 smaller than $2.00 microns and pass the blood brain barrier and in effect the whole 'd body systems we have known this but the study expands the seriousness of the result of this pollution the research also found that diseases including parkinson's and you know your narry chalk infections were associated with poor air quality but with just to be clear pollution doesn't cause easy's is right i think that they are are definitely potentially impacting because when we're talking about the very fine pollutants so which come from smoke from the emissions and from burning of forest

or people and so agricultural waste these are very small particles can easily cross the blood brain barrier and then they have the potential to influence cells in the body and this study is showing that the. impact is much wider than previously thought and which we have the world people i'm all risk. so i think in in all regions and city environments so in asia particularly we've seen in cities in china and india very severe impact of the urban pollution in southeast asia we have the during the severe drought and dry season we have large scale fires within peat limbs and forest areas and easily leading to smoke clouds which may be hundreds of thousands or even millions of long letters in science and affect maybe 50000000 people in the region right so these are quite serious impacts does this research then mean that the guidelines set by the w.h.o.
