the prime minister who was only just appointed last month has made it one of his priority is to to constrain the weapons in the hands of the state and to rein in groups such as hispaniola and of course he has also come under pressure by the united states in the wake of the latest rocket attacks to protect u.s. forces that are based here in the country the protection of those forces was one of the conditions that the united states listed during a recent strategic dialogue that was kicked off between iraq and the united states . it's on the one hand we have pressure from the us on the new government to act on the other hand there is a lot of resistance from iranian backwards like the clappers bala as well as some political parties against such actions now it remains to be seen how this will unfold it's very much a throwback to december 31st of last year when the tide has below laid siege to the

a stalemate between the 2 as they continue with this proxy war because they i think it's become increasingly clear particularly following the events of december 31st that these 2 countries are not interested necessarily going to war with one another but they are very much interested in motivated to continue this proxy war in iraq iran has lately been laying low because they don't want to give president trump. any fodder or actually you know help him in the upcoming election and so what we might be seeing is a relatively subdued iran that's going to. hold retaliation temporarily and then just continue with these ongoing proxy attacks in the in the months that followed iran's ministry of defense says a gas storage tank as a spode on the outskirts of tehran this video was shared on social media people spoke of hearing a bus of explosion officials say crews quickly put out the fire and that there were no casualties. the u.s.

samuel rommany is a middle east analyst he says the statement by the european nations is not sincere as they all back opposing factions in libya. i think that we should be teaching these emerging literate suffered because france germany and italy at the different perspectives and living costs france imports have italy is a supporter of the gin and to lesser degree turkish military intervention where germany is a middle power that's arbitrary in the chair and i think that is more of an issue that the side actually got together the french and italians are actually able to discuss this and there is. the symbolism that i was important but the actual is the meant to be met with skepticism greatly because the current russian which calls for these launch of drunkeness forces contradicts the brillant process would require turkey present as a bridge as optical it gets better at converting actual action because egypt is not militarily intervene in the center way in libya and yes his rights and what if it were that matter in any regional leaders and say in south sudan $27.00 so either

the history of talking now and i actually delivered so you did best man actually kerry has unlimited logistical or air strikes mission would be to secure as your influence there will be an expanse of military intervention against turkey russia on the other hand is a bit more well an important player is losing confidence not that so might pivot towards one of its allies if we lose our way or balance that b.m. cs on both after and how it happens you're looking at a multifaceted multipronged russian intervention in libya. time for a short break here on al-jazeera when we come back a shootout in the stomping ground of mexico's drug in el chapo leaves more than a dozen dead. and how the prone to virus outbreak is affecting a community of herders in iraq's historic marshes on the status.

checks about $30.00 children are among the passengers on the plight of the ring is expected to be included on the agenda of the association of southeast dave's nations meeting on friday other topics likely to dominate the discussions include the reopening of borders after lock down and the territorial dispute in the south china sea with scott who joins us live now from bangkok scott so what will the economic recovery from cope with 9000 look like there because a lot of countries rely on foreign investment and economic engagement. there and they absolutely do and what we know is what they're going to be working on that this i see on summit today friday is a kind of a long term economic plan and what has been said by analysts is that there really needs to be more integration more cooperation between these 10 nations of the on to help pull them through the situation post situation what's very interesting is that you know this region you know the economy globally is not been great the last

couple of years but this region has been good comparatively in 2001000 there was a a 4 percent increase in the g.d.p. gross domestic product of the region now they're looking at not only they're not going to have any positive but negative projected for this year she's looking at a decline of 7 percent when you look at this region as you mentioned there are so heavily reliant on foreign investment foreign trade and obviously that is going to be dramatically hit by postcode 19. organization of how they can restart those trades those pipelines that are very important for industry around the region so it's very interesting to see moving forward how they're going to do that one thing that is interesting with foreign investment and that is when you look at this code recovery fund china and japan have contributed to it those are 2 major economic players in the region here so obviously they're trying to get their foot in to have some play as we move forward and scott what about the writing of crisis because

that's always been a key issue at summits how will they deal with. it has been yes i would say over the last 34 years of becoming these us in some ways for quite some time now and it is brought up you know when there are flare ups when it's you know something that's being developed with their case for that time of year when they have these summits and that is the case this time around but what has been one of the criticisms is that they really don't as a regional bloc they try not to involve themselves the bloc of nations in each individual what they call domestic issues and in the past the situation has been called a domestic issue obviously it is mushroom and greatly over the last couple of years when we look at this year you know we mentioned you mentioned there in these couple of cases just over the last several weeks so it will be discussed what happens after that is where all the criticism normally comes from what to see if that changes one thing that this summit is going to be very different because it's

a virtual summit they're not all gathered the leaders aren't all gathered at the same place at the same time because what happens a lot of these sensitive issues they'll have sideline discussions about them but not have them formally presented in the meetings in the summit that can't happen this time around because they're not all together at the same spot or i just got hired either in bangkok for us scott thank you tributes have been paid to george floyd at the spot where he was killed in police custody exactly a month ago he died in minneapolis when a police officer pressed his knee against floyd's neck for almost 9 minutes the death sparked a global outcry about racism and police brutality a wave of protests whipped across the u.s. forcing reform initiatives at multiple levels of government the u.s. house of representatives passed a sweeping police reform bill brought by the democratic party the legislation would reduce legal protections for offices and ban chokeholds and now be sent the republican controlled senate where it's likely to be rejected from capitol hill in

washington d.c. she has explained why the bill would probably not become law. with the successful passage of this bill in the house it appears that congressional attempts at police reform have come to an end the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he has no intention of bringing this bill before the senate for debate or a vote mitch mcconnell prefers the republican reform bill that failed even to get a debate in the senate on wednesday a bad bill more about it encouraging police officers to reform rather than mandating change democrats said that was a nonstarter this house bill does have many elements that civil rights groups have called for for example criminalizing chokeholds like the one we saw employed george floyd ending no knock warrants in drug cases that is police busting into people's houses without any notice making it easier for the police to be sued and perhaps most importantly a from a congressional standpoint from a federal standpoint creating a national register of police police officers with and their disciplinary record

right that is a real lack of transparency we just don't know who is wearing a uniform and what they may have done in the past but this is all male rhetorical and doesn't look like any further movement will be made in the on the congressional level unless there's an enormous outpouring of support for change on the streets in the meantime and perhaps is always going to be the case change will come at a local level either from a state level or a municipal level and we're already seeing some of these elements from the house bill being being put into practice at the city level for example the banning of chokehold and read diverting funds or diverting funds from the police to social programs programs to deescalate and not escalate the u.s. house of representatives will vote on friday on whether to grant full statehood to washington d.c. the country's capital if passed the districts more than 700000 residents would finally have representation and full voting rights in congress my kind of reports.

the residents of washington d.c. the district of columbia have been denied their right to fully participate in their democracy since a pounding of the nation's capital over 2 centuries ago it's being a district and not part of a state it has no governor and its elected representative has no boat in congress statehood is priceless statehood assures there living in the nation's capital is about pride not prejudice. this was the moment at which the districts tried to stay to the real traction federal offices disperse protesters outside the white house in an action ordered by the trumpet ministration not by the city's elected officials there shouldn't be troops from other states and washington d.c. and their very definitely shouldn't be soldiers stationed around our city waiting for the girl to attack americans in a local policing matter in

a city where nearly half the population is african american statehood is a civil rights issue at all holmes norton has represented d.c. for nearly 3 decades she's the great granddaughter of a slave who found freedom in the district but not representation in congress i feel her pulse as a member who represents my city. and of course i feel and in my own lineage as a 3rd generation washingtonian who has never experienced all of it within their own country so for me this is patriotic and it's for the president has made clear he will oppose any move to statehood as would his fellow republican the senate majority leader. a plan to make the district of columbia stayed true to democratic senators. but those advocating state to a doctor taking a long term view hoping that the composition of the senate and the occupant of the

white house will change often i've been busy lection as i must. now. show a strong likelihood that my party the democratic party in the united states will take control of the senate as my party the democrats have taken control of the house the bill is certain to pass in the house but given republican opposition that will take an election where the mayors hope of the few one stars on the u.s. flag to become a reality by kind of al-jazeera washington running gun battles between rival mexican drug gangs have left at least 16 people dead the bodies were found in rural sylow a state in the territory of el chapo guzman is cartel gang violence has been increasing this year 3000 as were called in march the 2nd highest monthly tally on record 117 people were murdered on june the 7th the most violent day of this year in economic

hurting us and our sales and milk prices almost collapsed now we call even go get high to feed the animals and i know when we're going to head we've had to start selling our animals to buy tomatoes and meat and other things. when longtime clients like said it mohamed to make the trip they buy less a combination of curfews and job losses are slowing down sales in nearby provinces and whatever isn't sold is thrown away and had even you but never not given that. we buy milk from the buffalo breeders in the marshes but when we try to sell it nowadays no one buys it so now we're only buying a small quantity. before the outbreak 30 liters of milk would sell for about $20.00 now they get 12 with little income many heard or seen no other option but to sell their thoughtful loaves. they have no other jobs to turn to selling animals

a bracing care for appears to be their only option despite some push back say that if my father wants to keep selling the buffaloes i'll be very sad he knows how much i love them i hope he forgets about selling them. the marshes were declared a unesco world heritage site in 2016 they were drained by saddam hussein in the 1997 punished and for sound travels over the years so well lance and the community recovered but now the coronavirus poses a different type of threat. to their young al-jazeera source what now liverpool have won the english league title for the 1st time in 30 years it happened in somewhat anticlimactic fashion 2nd place manchester city had to be chelsea to keep the title race a lawyer but a $21.00 win for chelsea meant liverpool between the champions of england with 7 games left in the season at the 19th time the club won the title and it means the pool and now the reigning english european and world champions.
