or seems to be alluding to his 2 sons who are under investigation in the state of rio de janeiro for all kinds of of illegal actions. in the case of his eldest son flavio of being involved in criminal militia groups so the president says that this is not a damning tape at all that he wasn't referring to the investigations he was referring to the security detail of his sons but it's not a very convincing explanation for a lot of people the grim search for more bodies is assuming after a passenger plane crashed among houses close to karachi manacled in pakistan 99 people were onboard the bus a 320 flight from the hole at least 2 passengers survived the heart of reports. the crash happened as the pakistan international airlines flight was attempting to land for a 2nd time never never never never. initial reports say the airbus pilot sent
5:04 am
a mayday message reporting problems with both engines and made a go around. a few minutes later the airliner came down in a highly populated residential area near karate international airport the horse it cannot see out of funding for just the last words we heard from the pilots was that there were technical problems he was told on the final approach the both wrong ways are ready and you can learn the pilot decided he wanted to go around for that reason the technical problem was well good to go and look at that. airplane parts were strewn among burning homes security forces were sent to help the rescue operation and managed to pull at least 2 passengers from the wreckage pakistan's prime minister imran khan tweeted saying that he was shocked and saddened by the crash offering prayers and condolences to the families of the dead. aviation apps identify the aircraft as a 15 year old airbus
5:05 am
a 320 it was one of the 1st in p.i.a.'s fleet to restart flying this week after flights were grounded to stop the spread of the coronavirus the crash coincides with the end of ramadan normally a busy time for travelers returning home for the need holiday it's also 4 years since another air crash in pakistan during ramadan killed all $47.00 people on board the harding al-jazeera welcome a lot of joins me live from islamabad come also what more details are emerging about the crash and what might have caused it. right edges that are in mystery given the fact that the pilot had ordered a send a mayday signal and was on a final approach to the airport in what was seen to be a desperate attempt however the video that we have been seeing is that the landing gear was not open despite the fact that the aircraft was coming in for the final
5:06 am
approach the fact that it came down in that residential area very taken a populated narrow alleyways also made life difficult for the rescue games to be able to reach in time to be able to do shave the paper that go ahead on the ground many how did were destroyed and many people that had to be bought it under the rug but it that is the fear and so far we have been told that $97.00 bodies have been recalled word from that crash site because the egg drop dead also brought down power lines that were difficult for the rescue effort where during that mechanized units of the military were deployed with heavy cranes to try to lift large segments of the aircraft which broke up bought off the impacting on the ground and or tried to recover the body that may be but it under george difficult thought is going to be an operation that great it take days if not weeks because most of the day above and beyond recognition. will have to be carried out. identities
5:07 am
are difficult to dodge conveyed by that that same time and then quietly has been set up which were to be led by an egg called more door the prime minister they prove ing that who tried to find out what led to the events that led to this fatal crash from all pakistan has a checkered history of aviation safety is this crash likely to put that back into sharp focus. well to be fair the crash was back in 26 in that. prop aircraft. of the budget an international run rate in that country have had problems about dialogue. short a jetliner crash from this particular airline or that back in 9092 in nepal right now on a bike 300 range into
5:08 am
a mountainside go there's 50 record it badly quite good except as i mentioned on the propeller a drought ridge did develop significant engine trouble and they've maintained in war that dratted barred all were all the safety record of the airline and it's pretty good we're good why everybody is now getting out. deadly infected could happen when the airline does have experienced pilot given mandatory training every month and don't know how to deal with such emergency kit duration many question marks which are left to wait for a property and why to get to the bottom of the data in order to come out it is not about kemal thank you now there's growing international condemnation of china's plans to introduce sweeping new security and those in hong kong u.s. secretary of state might bump aoe said it would sound the death knell for hong kong's autonomy the proposed legislation would ban that city beijing considered subversive it follows months of pro-democracy protests in hong kong the chief
5:09 am
executive says a government will cooperate with beijing's puzzle and that it will not affect the rights and freedoms of residents. the important thing is for the people hong kong to realize that without protection of national security many of the things that we enjoy many of the things that we treasure. would be lost so this is really the time for us not to waste any more time and to get on with this important they just native safeguards well let's bring in trying to measure he's a member of the center for contemporary chinese studies at the university of melbourne lee joins us via skype from there let's talk 1st about this proposed security legislation for hong kong look there's been growing international condemnation of this rule how controversial is it likely to be because protesters in hong kong already see beijing as gradually chipping away eroding the territories
5:10 am
autonomy. but remember if you want to go back to 2003 the hong kong authorities trying to enact legislation to essentially turn security legislation and there was a huge protest there more than half a 1000000 people who protested in the streets of hong kong so we've seen in hong kong see a lot of protests on various issues this particular decision by the chinese government next event is creation in beijing rather than in hong kong is certainly going to provoke a lot of people who are pretty let's turn to the national people's congress which is taking place this week in beijing this is always a big show of political theater isn't it so how much do china's leaders want to want to use this event to show that despite the impact of coronavirus it's business as usual and everything is back to normal. well it's clear from the report of the chinese premier league concern to the national people's congress opening ceremony
5:11 am
not everything is good that he in fact warned the people of china they're going to be difficult times ahead so clearly the government is preparing the people of china for economic difficulties high unemployment and a very unfavorable international security environment also. and that's an interesting point you make because for the 1st time in years the people's congress has not set a figure for economic growth how much does this underline the huge impact that coronaviruses had on the chinese economy so i think it's a big factor the colonel virus is a big factor but also the reaction to china's mishandling of the korean workers crisis has contributed to the uncertainty that china faces so one of the reasons why really christiane was unable to declare a target because remember this is being an important part of china's economic sort of strategy that they announce a target and then by the end of the financially year they claim that they have met
5:12 am
the target this is the 1st time in decades that the chinese prime minister has not announced an economic target and that's a function i think in large measure to the uncertainty that china faces for example relations with the united states are probably at their worst since 989 and it's therefore very difficult to predict where the chinese economy's going to head you know going forward pretty just a final thought to you the trumpet ministration continues to pressure china over the virus pandemic do you think washington sees president xi as particularly vulnerable right now and using this moment as a chance to ratchet up the rhetoric and put pressure on beijing. i think there are terms of ministration are putting pressure on beijing not just because she didn't name you know one or a position but also because that is facing an election or the 1st week of november and we know that the economy and british trump hope the campaign is not doing well
5:13 am
because of the current virus so he's going to focus on china he's going to focus on china and try to portray china as sort of there are many problems that america faces including you know cold 19 so i think this strategy is to target china over the next few months and that would help in boosting the numbers you know in the polls or trying to restructure but internet or thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts with us thank you thank you. time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back south america has become a new at the center for the disease 1st china then europe and now latin america the world health organization declares another new phase in the virus pandemic. and police raids fail to stop jakarta's market traders and setting up shop for the need holiday or not stay with us.
5:14 am

5:16 am
a result of my work rewind on al-jazeera. welcome back i provided our top stories here on al-jazeera a tape released by brazil's supreme court appears to show the president jaya bowl tomorrow threatening to fire senior police officers and the minister to protect his family the video was released as part of a probe into allegations that bolton are was meddling in a criminal probe of his son. the grim task of searching for more bodies is resuming after a passenger plane crashed in pakistan at least $97.00 people have been killed when the plane went down in a crowded neighborhood in the city of karachi 2 passengers are porton to have

5:19 am
couple of weeks mexico should have reached them past its peak but numbers keep climbing chile's health system is buckling and in argentina the cases of spike too and while in other parts of the world the streets are beginning to fill up with going here it's the cemeteries john home and al-jazeera president trump says here in order the u.s. flag to be flown at half mast over the next 3 days as the coronavirus death toll now has $100000.00 all states of boston reopened after 2 months shut down but some still seeing a rise in new cases are also fears of a 2nd wave tramples the ones places of worship to reopen this weekend saying he will override any governors who don't allow it some governors have deemed a liquor stores an abortion clinics is essential but have left out churches and other houses of worship it's now right so i'm correcting this injustice in calling
5:20 am
houses of worship essential. i call upon governors to allow our churches in places of worship to open right now if they don't do it i will override the governors. in america we need more prayer not less. president trump has also approved the new arms sale to the united arab emirates that's despite evidence the gulf country violated the terms of the last deal the u.a.e. stands accused of transferring provided by the u.s. without washington's prior approval to libya yemen and somalia the pentagon approve the sale of a surplus of vehicles with up to half a $1000000000.00 but joel rubin is a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state and is county president of the washington strategy group and he says trump is ignoring mechanisms set in place to avoid violations involving u.s. made weapons this is really the push and pull that we've seen for the past couple of years regarding saudi arabia and the u.a.e.
5:21 am
and this administration where the trump administration continually blocks congressional pressure to straighten it out and the example this past week of the spec you general being fired by donald trump from the state department's inspector general reminds us that a little bit over a year ago the trump administration ignored congressional will and sold $8000000000.00 weapons to those 2 countries and that has not been rectified the relationship between congress and the trump administration on these 2 countries is severely divided and no there's not a lot of hope that we'll get a real public discussion coming out of the trump administration on the sales certainly before the election the palestinian authority has rejected the virus aid package sent from the united arab emirates it was delivered on a red direct flight from the u.a.e. to israel's tel aviv airport palestinians say they weren't notified about the delivery of the immoralities coordinated with israel. it just simply we have here
