9:02 pm
it happened in the gulf one valley region on monday is the 1st time casualties have been reported during a standoff between the 2 countries in 45 years. ok more on the developing story just as soon as we can let's move on to an executive order being signed today by the u.s. president the whole trump that he hopes will help reform the country's policing system in the wake of a string of police killings of black americans the order will now ban the use of chokeholds by the police unless offices feel their lives are at risk social workers will also be added to call outs for nonviolent cases involving drug addiction and homelessness and they'll be improved information sharing between between police departments about officers background records such as excessive use of force complaints but i strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend dismantle and dissolve our police departments especially now when we've achieved
9:03 pm
the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history. americans know the truth without police there is chaos without law there is an arche and without safety there is catastrophe we need leaders at every level of government who of the moral clarity to state his obvious facts americans believe we must support the brave men and women in blue who police our streets and keep us safe americans also believe we must improve accountability increase transparency and invest more resources in police training recruiting and community engagement reducing crime and raising standards are not opposite goals they are not mutually exclusive they work together they all work together that is why today i'm signing an executive order encouraging police departments nationwide to adopt the highest
9:04 pm
professional standards to serve their communities. alan fischer is our correspondent at the white house allan when does all this kid. well as soon as the executive order is signed but of course there are problems in that the president is leaving a lot of the heavy lifting to local politicians and also 'd took congress itself when you talk about increased budgets for training then guidelines have to be drawn up and money has to be found and we know at the moment things are particularly difficult with the u.s. economy although donald trump went on to say how things where actually getting better there is legislation going through congress at the moment and many of those who have been on the streets protesting will be hoping that this will go much farther than what is proposed in the executive order what is missing from the executive order is no mention of widespread police reforms like the thousands who've been on the street have been demanding nor is there any notion that racism
9:05 pm
is a systemic problem or that black people are treated differently by the police donald trump says he is a law and order president that is where he is firmly staked his flag he believes that this addresses some of the concerns but you get the feeling that campaigners protesters were hoping for a great deal more from a president who for the last 2 weeks has been accused of being absent and not leading on an issue which has just totally dominated the political landscape tens of thousands of police forces individual forces across such a big country where hundreds of thousands of people have to interact with the police every day it won't be an easy thing to put that jigsaw into place. but some where along the line you have to lay down a blueprint and this is what donald trump is doing he understands that there is
9:06 pm
legislation being considered by congress at the event in the rose garden mitch mcconnell who is the leader of the republicans in the senate was also there as was tim scott who is the sort black g.o.p. senator black republican senator who has also been talking about police reforms to a degree so they understand that it's got to be stuck to somewhere if it starts at the presidential level it might start to trickle down but don't trump made the point that there are just a few bad apples he didn't exactly use that phrase he said there's a tiny small majority a small minority of police who are bad but here's me and many of the good cops want the bad cops go on but of course what we've seen in issues that have been highlighted in social media even over the last 2 weeks since the killing of george floyd is where police have stood by and not reacted when they're calling us have
9:07 pm
done something which many people would think it's either agree just or 'd was wrong or was even illegal there is many people believe this then blue line where the police defend themselves and that could be part of the problem as well in the police unions are very strong and the more me not acknowledge that there is a need for change or perhaps even better training said lee many police departments around the country already believe they reach the highest standards so when the president says there's more money if you reach the highest standards that we impose many will be wondering what exactly do you want us to do for this money but the fact that that is federal money there or will be at some point will certainly be a big incentive to police departments and certainly to the politicians who run the police departments to start to change things and thanks very much ok let's bring in u.s. political analyst who joins us now from the states on skype good to talk to you listening to mr trump unpack it for us is it enough. well no it doesn't not go as far as
9:08 pm
many would like to see particularly when you look at all of the protests and demonstrations that are taking place not to mention many of the costs for defunding police departments and we were already seeing across the nation from minneapolis new york and los angeles where these departments are now being defined it and so what we are seeing here is basically tiny steps by president donald trump to address the issue but what we're seeing from the president also is the president is waiting for and looking to congress that is now working on legislation both in the house and the senate to address wholesale systemic changes nothing hinting at racism as a big systemic issue why not again because we're still 20 weeks away from the all important presidential election and president donald trump has a base that he does have to placate and so talking about this issue in disparate terms about racism simply does not appeal to the president's base so we're not
9:09 pm
going to see the president address that issue however we could begin to see where the president stands on this when he had to tell us so oklahoma on saturday but how can a u.s. president sign an executive order which allegedly is about police reforms and then not talk about police reforms and then not talk about police reforms to an audience of people containing 0 and nobody from the black lives massive movement. that's right and we saw the president actually do this last week when he went to dallas texas and he met with key leaders around law enforcement issues but the people who were not in the room and clued in the the district attorney the dallas sheriff as well as the chief of police and so what that suggests was all african-american by the way and the reason so what that suggests is we have a president who simply is not willing to go as far as necessary because again many
9:10 pm
see this president as someone who has stoked the flames of unrest that we are seeing take place across the country right now and the president simply has not been able to really take a hold of these issues which frankly is why the president has been largely absent as we have seen these protests these demonstrations take place across the country and now what we're beginning to see is a state local governments local municipalities actually taking the lead much like what we have seen actually with the response to the kobe 1000 outbreaks we have seen states actually attempting to get p.p.s. and deal with this issue whereas they have seen a government that has largely been absent and now from a political standpoint many are looking at joe biden as someone who is attempting to fill that void where the white house has been sure t.j. glee and noticeably variax but if you were donald trump himself if you will one of his key advisors what is it about say the photo all that might be
9:11 pm
a good thing that might be a positive photo op that would happen with him and people from the black lives matzoh campaign or the individual campaigns that make up the broader movement all community leaders african-americans what is it's about that photo opportunity that so toxic for them that they don't even want to consider it. it's because we know that this is the president's base whether whether the president wants to admit it or not his base is largely made up of white supremacists and people who he he speak to and terms of law 'd and order and again if the president were to move to an inclusive avenue of trying to bring in people of color including the l.g.b. t.q. community which just yesterday we saw a major landmark ruling from the supreme court that what alienates many of the president's supporters on the right and now fortunately this is the lane that the president has placed himself in and a bit of
9:12 pm
a box now which makes it difficult for the president to grow beyond that number that approval rating of 40 to 43 percent because to do that would mean to alienate some of them and in an effort to try to recruit and bring on people from the black lives matter movement from the trance community and other communities for n n addition to the immigrant community the latino and hispanic population very brief ear ache and say give me officials try to be really saying that his base is that stupid that if he's photographed with a black man or a lesbian people won't vote for him while this is also asked your question this way this is the president who said that i can stand on 5th avenue and shoot someone and my supporters would not hold me guilty and rick good to talk to you as ever we appreciate your insight thank you south korea says it will respond strongly if
9:13 pm
the north keeps raising tensions off to pyongyang blew up a liaison office in the border town of case song the u.s. has also reacted saying it remains in close coordination with the south while the european union is warning north korea against any further provocative acts his rope and bright. the complete destruction of a building created at the height of improving into korean relations and with it and the immediate hope of reconciliation the north has become enraged by defectors who make calls human scum releasing propaganda balloons into its territory kim jong the increasingly influential sister of leader kim jong un had warned the military could destroy the building in retaliation and confirmation came chews day afternoon with a faint plume of smoke spotted north of the border. this corresponds to the mindset of an enraged people to force the human scum and those who have sheltered them to
9:14 pm
pay dearly for the crimes the joint liaison office was established in 2018 i made the flurry of summit diplomacy between the 2 koreas and between the north and the united states since then all talks including getting rid of the north's nuclear weapon threat have stalled by this action north korea seemed sat on creating a new crisis on the korean peninsula it's already cut the hot lines across the demilitarized zone border with the south making any attempts at reconciliation far more difficult and possibly signaling a return to the extreme tensions of the past that's something the liberal south korean president moon j.n.t. has wanted to avoid at all costs but even his government seems to be returning to acrimonious warnings from which we sternly warned that we will strongly respond if the north continue so take steps to worsen the situation adding that all

9:18 pm
the sports teams details of an important win off the pitch for this premier league strike. ok let's get more on that developing story here on the news for you that deadly border clash between india and china in a disputed region of the himalayas in which 20 indian soldiers were killed both countries have blamed each other for the standoff but insists that no shots were fired the to share the world's longest unmarked border the line in yellow is the so-called line of actual control but there are several disputed areas on either side one of the main ones is x.e. chinless a province claimed by india but it's been administered by china since 1962 when the 2 countries went to war over the border the most recent serious tension was in 2017 over a chinese road construction project hundreds of troops from both sides deployed on
9:19 pm
the dock plateau an area between nepal and bhutan let's bring in my al-jazeera correspond colleague so he'll rahman who's reported extensively from india so welcome to the news hour why is this getting worse at the moment. it's an interesting one because india and china have faced off the border complex as you just mentioned that for several decades now this is nothing can you have a better off city at this particular clash certainly is upsetting but beijing and delhi when they thought they'd come to some sort of consensus in the wheat why well i think at the moment that both sort of trying to exert their regional power within a year obviously china is looking to the west with its packets belt silk about road construction now where this conflict is actually happening at the moment peace a lot of us can imagine just the big screen like me to the west there is
9:20 pm
a small city the roads land that is also all was part of kashmir and that belongs you might say it wasn't the administration of pakistan it's ceded that to the chinese but what in 1963 there was a small sliver of land between that area where we're talking about today but i think that is what it trying to really has its eyes on it was to try and connect those 2 land areas together so they can actually begin to formulate a plan to construct this large silk road this new route that it wants through central asia and to europe that could be the long term plan getting in the way obviously if india india has been at. various times in conflict with china over the way that these border lines have not been demarcated back in 1954 neeru that an independent state or a prime minister of india could read with that in chinese leadership what the deep
9:21 pm
cation and land borders would be but it still left 120000 square kilometers of unmarked disputed land in that area we might set up for grabs and that has never. really clean been clarified and this is why we continue to get these skirmishes the scale as you mentioned 2017 is way over that to the east between nepal 'd and butat a very small sliver of india strikes up between those 2 countries the state secure and that 2 very important road that would connect china to thailand and to the lower india is something that the indians don't want and that's why we keep seeing these sporadic clashes between the 2 if there are definite aspects to this that each side wants to either pursue or push back against moving forward so hail how combustible do you think the situation is over the coming weeks and months. i think
9:22 pm
it's actually quite combustible and it is a worrying. scenario that is developing having spent a lot of time living and working in india 'd i've seen these clashes happen periodically sometimes they haven't even made the news headlines of an international level and india you might say might have backed down that the chinese at that time and they've had these sort of little little minor skirmishes you know a bit of rock throwing a bit of name calling across the border nothing just ferocious is what we see and they both back down to find a happy medium this is quite an interesting development and they're worrying well as well because obviously with this going on i wonder whether they're trying to get the attention of the west story than the u.s. at the moment as you know that china in the u.s. not getting on very well nobody has a very strong ally in president trump i wouldn't be surprised if there are telephone calls going on right now between new delhi and washington about what the
9:23 pm
next move could be and what sort of support america might give morally politically to new delhi modi is in as you know a very strong position of home grown out of majority that government a 2nd term in office indians are very proud people that very territorial and when it comes to being attacked either physically on land or politically in the international arena they will unify around the prime minister said anything that the prime minister or the government does right now will be wholeheartedly supported not just by the public but a very right wing media at the moment that are very supportive of the prime minister as we saw in the election of last year and i think that they will not want to be seen to be backing down and if they have been given a bloody nose right no i would suspect that india is planning some sort of retaliation they're not going to let it slide ok so we have to leave it there
9:24 pm
thanks so much so raman there i cannae reporting live for us on what's going on on that border area between india and china. the world trade organization has issued a scathing legal judgment against arabiya over its pirate broadcast of a major sporting events the w t o says the saudi government knew about the piracy operations taking place at a channel called q. and actively promoted them the operation involved intellectual property theft on a massive scale not just from cattery rights holders but fever the premier league formula one and the n.b.a. even so the government did not take any criminal action against the channel over the course of 3 years despite being provided with evidence from a range of companies and governments. begins our coverage. it's been described as the biggest and most outrageous piracy operation in history which has been allowed to continue for the past 3 years but that might all change now after the
9:25 pm
wall trade organization one of the most important international bodies of jurisdiction issued its findings into the case of saudi arabia on the 5th of t.v. broadcasting rights in 2017 shortly after the kingdom and 3 of its allies imposed a land air and sea blockade on qatar a new television network was unveiled named b. out q the new channel was nothing more than a piracy operation that stole the signal and output from b. in sports the qatari own subscription base sports and entertainment network and rebroadcast it around the world the largest global sporting events including the 2018 feet for walt cup the english premier league tennis grand slams and formula one were all illegally broadcast by pew in a flagrant breach of intellectual property rights and several other international treaties. according to the world trade organizations independent investigation b.l. to cuba was and is supported by the saudi government the report's name sounded

9:28 pm
is a very clear indictment that the kingdom is behind one of the vian largest theft of intellectual property rights in history many will view this is yet another failure of saudi arabia's policies under the facto rule of crown prince mohammed bin son man. david sutton is the legal counsel and director of corporate affairs for the bean media group he says the ruling is a victory for sports bodies that have their broadcast stolen by a saudi arabia. this is a major victory for intellectual property rights protection and a major victory for the international rule of law fundamentally sport relies on protection of ip and international law and local law to protect its interests and sadly for 3 years now. every sports bodies rights have been run roughshod over by saudi arabia and this judgement in phatic li says that ordinarily the natural
9:29 pm
home for these cases is in the jurisdiction where the crime is committed in the criminal is based that in this case is saudi arabia and has been for 3 years however the government of saudi arabia as proven by the b.t.o. itself today deliberately blocked any legal action from being media group from not only b.n. but every single major world football body. in the world from bringing legal action to protect their intellectual property in saudi arabia that was a very deliberate strategy to basically mean that no one can protect their rights and as a result you have to rely on international law which is why this case was brought by qatar the debate here and it is in fact a plea ruled in favor of international law and the protection of sports rights. and today issuing a statement on it says anyone committing acts of piracy is not inside saudi arabia it also says quote saudi arabia has
9:30 pm
a strong record of protecting intellectual property and is committed to applying its national law and procedures in full conformity with w t o rules cattles minister of commerce and industry. says and international rights holders of scorned scored a resulting victory today we expect saudi arabia especially since it's hosting the upcoming g. 20 to respect this decisive ruling and end the theft and piracy of ip rights at once still ahead here on the news hour. for acute stress. it's heart wrenching at the same time facing deportation from britain how the coronavirus emergency is affecting immigration detention centers. also have the iraqi government's decision to cut salaries to spark outrage as the country faces its worst economic crisis in years. and in sports encouraging signs that calling capital could make a return to the n.f.l.
