fold lines meet those on the front line of defending their environment and. to keep the flames in both tomorrow's brazil amazon bombing on al-jazeera. and richelle carey in doha these are the top stories on al-jazeera u.s. president has signed 2 bills into law that back hong kong's pro-democracy movements american sanctions can now be imposed on chinese and hong kong officials deemed responsible for human rights abuses and special trade status will be reviewed every year the territories leader says it will damage relations with the u.s. and china has expressed extreme regret over the move it is someone the u.s. ambassador and promised to respond with farm counter measures political has been following developments from washington. 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 a lot to 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 or 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 that really what the president is going to do it's not clear congress has given him this authority he 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 were all america to get

reelected and right now they're really hurting because of this trade war. a place in hong kong have entered polytechnic university for the 1st time since that in pro-democracy protesters under siege that campus police say they are searching the grounds to remove makeshift weapons and petrol bombs. foreign ministry has condemned an attack on one of its consulates in iraq by crowds of anti-government protests urging the iraqi government to deal firmly with the attackers crowds of demonstrators and the shia holy city of dissolves at the building on fire accused iran of propping up iraq's government which they have been railing against for 2 months the target in the reports was hundreds of anti-government protesters stormed the compound of the iranian consulate in the jaffa city trying 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 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. for just to say rand is exerting too much power in iraq they won't directly government to take action to limit it the 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 karbala. both attacks feed into the why to antigovernment protests movement that the gulf to iraq 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 in a so i suspect right now there is deep. panic and paranoia into iran over what happened today. the challenge for iran is how to respond without alienating the shia community upon which it's to expand its reach and influence victoria gate to be outrageous there are. at least 1000 people have been killed in a rebel attack near the village avoid the and democratic republic of congo and will add to anger among locals who have targeted u.n. peacekeepers saying they're failing to protect them earlier the united nations admitted one of its peacekeepers shot and killed one of the protesters who's died in the last few days as are the headlines keep it here on al-jazeera we have a recap of the headlines at the bottom of the hour and the main time al-jazeera investigations is next.

harsh. i think it is completely wrong to have a conversation about the purpose of guarantees that you can conduct your business on behalf of a nation state without being interfered with mark stephens is an expert on diplomatic law. being an ambassador is somebody who represents a higher level and with the highest levels of probity and integrity their country and their country's interests invariably that person is a citizen of a bashful with dhamma solve all of the country who appoints them. and our investigation as found dozens of examples of caribbean governments pointing foreign is as their diplomats around the world. we

find that these small countries often of the bribes. will call high people with no connection no experience but international criminal. for some dubious reason the protection the sheer of diplomatic immunity and they buy it which is us and an international scandal geoffrey robertson was involved when the abuse of diplomatic passports 1st became known. he acted for the wife of a wealthy saudi she sued her husband for a divorce settlement in the british courts but were lead to folly didn't want to pay so how do you get out of a law that everyone else. very simple. sailed off to send to lucia and lo and behold time he was made the ambassador to

the international maritime organization. and he never turned out to. never. again yet when his wife. application for money. he claimed immunity diplomatic immunity is a she you now that was obviously our rangers a british court eventually agreed with his former wife diplomatic immunity didn't apply in a civil divorce case. criminal immunity only applies in the country an ambassador is appointed to. a man for a didn't know that when he thought a diplomatic passport was the answer to all his problems. those problems began

on the nation i. landed level one in 201218 months before one fred set up my dominique trade house. as family ran a shipping business in la. on fred contacted him claiming to be an agent for the rainy and government wanting his help. iran being in the sanctions they had problems in moving your. i specialize in remote just ticks. my knowledge when i was solution to international sanctions on selling iranian oil was to disguise where it came from the. ships would come in from iran loaded up with oil all. would have n.p.t. and just popped outside. the mother ship come alongside thank you as they were discharged all onto our storage facilities the oil be stored out in the sea for months at farms we always saw when fifa come to china to surprise goes up. he says

the ships come along side our thanks as it's a direct route straight charge we will be in china within 14 days. yet. after a year it became known china was buying uranium oil so they closed down the operation . didn't know it was mon fred was skimming off the profits stealing from his own iranian government. by 2014 if they were after him as an iranian citizen he was vulnerable to arrest he needed another passport morn for it would not if socks he was source and phone call would come he would jump dock of the door slowly with your lives wired the way he had to fight and that is citizenship. it's called citizenship by investment and it's a major source of income for caribbean and european countries. it's legal the

controversial. wealthy families from asia the middle east and russia investors around a quarter of a $1000000.00 in luxury resorts or a government scheme in return they get citizenship and a new passport which allows visa free travel to many countries. one fred to acknowledge belong with him to dominique to buy a passport through citizenship by investment to help on for its case well our prime time with other investment ideas for the island officials was so impressed they suggested to me seeing the prime minister skerritt. our debt for 3 days i was in a casual mode in my shorts and fuchsia i had to or should a parent from a frock this get myself prepared since i was going to be the prime minister.

says he he did most of the talking and reasonable scary immediately made him an offer not the kind of possible given to foreign investors but an upgrade to a diplomatic passport conversation skerritt says he doesn't remember why don't you be oh ambassador at large. street or if there is a formal ambassadorship trade or a bassinet lodge i replied i said this is the ship offered to another said to me said. you out of your mind an opportunity like this if you declined it didn't one friend say to you why he wanted to party but he said i get diplomatic immunity if you complain i don't have to be worried about iranians. we're investigating whether a fully domine can prime minister can broker

a deal to make our candidate dominique his ambassador in the philippines and what it will cost we are looking here for all. our society maybe very little proxy for a little tour of the old circuit. on of the serafin confirms diplomatic passports can be bought even by criminals. here certainly who can do any of charging for. the lives of integer his office mistakes. and so on plus there's. a. fear of a tradition of those forces probably be then. on the international. law here in st i have prayers oh my god i'm very disturbed at. those including the op saying while a diplomat for dominique out

a bride to un officials now jailed in america. entirely in francesco carollo gambling tycoon designated a u.n. ambassador awaiting trial for fraud after being on interpol's most wanted list. this is. like an ounce of gold coins or c. . or you can get a. mayor of those were clear for me and so it was all. so. much for all to see just. that a perfect world. and it would be really millions to do this to put mary passports to. and have that money go to the right place here or. are you know i don't know what are we have fortunately or.

our investigation will say takes us to grenada. prime minister keyes mitchell has been in power for most of the last 25 years his diplomatic choices don't seem to conform to the spirit of the vienna convention that ambassadors should be nationals of the country and full time diplomats. many of grenada's embassadors all foreigners with business links to the island. there's no suggestion these diplomats paid for their appointments. oleg fire at runs of the internet firm in miami. well grenada's ambassador to moscow ham's alcoa heads a global company while a unesco ambassador into paris. the weariest designated grenada's ambassador to france but never accepted by the french.
