what more do we know about what happened today in glasgow. well the i mean the details are exactly as you describe them a man enters repeatedly stab several people armed police for calls shot him he's since diets of his injuries and it's now widely reported that 3 people who were stabbed by the man have died as well so all very horrific obviously everybody is wondering what's the motivation might have been and while we're still waiting for anything from the police well what i can now tell you is a bit more context about what had been happening at the building and in glasgow and recent days because it's become clear that the hotel had been being used by a private contractor to house asylum seekers from the middle east during lockdown quite controversially apparently and move them out hostiles into the hotel and one syrian man having been moved hanged himself

a couple of weeks ago. a few days ago in clause co when it became clear that this was happening there was a big demonstration in support of refugees and asylum seekers by people chanting refugees are welcome here this morning the reason why they held the demonstration was because since it became clear the solemn speakers were in this hotel there had been a number of far right demonstrations against the asylum seekers outside the hotel and so evidently one theory must now be that the attack far from being terrorism or whatever the initial supposition by the u.k. media might have been its act may have been a racist attack against the asylum seekers being housed inside the hotel but we don't know that either everything at the moment is on is absolutely on the level of supposition it's clear from the pictures that we're looking at right now lawrence of the major incident is under way in glasgow as we as we speak. this hotel want number one of

a number that has been used to house very controversial circumstances asylum seekers. yes it is peculiar because the police are calling it a major incident just just on the 1st part of your question even though they're saying that the whole things on the control in the not looking for anybody else and there was one suspect and he's obviously not dead so it's a major instance in the sense that they're treating it obviously as next a crime scene and they're trying to get to the bottom of it as a part of the 2nd part a question about the nature of the hotel it's it is very difficult they did the scottish government's unlike the government in london to be honest has has tried to burnish its reputation for looking after refugees and asylum seekers the scottish government very keen to say that scotland is a safe place for asylum seekers from the middle east and it wants to do its part in trying to look after them which is obviously

a contrast to the situation more broadly in england in particular but the housing of refugees and asylum seekers all over this country is absolutely terrible i mean i've been to lots of places in england where you have asylum seekers from different ages all different countries all living in one tiny house together in absolutely awful conditions and that they did the amounts of resources that are put into helping these people generally speaking is it is very poor and it's obviously terrible for people who may be suffering things like p.t.s.d. and mental health issues having come from war zones nil and all the rest of it so that there is a big a general question about the about the housing of asylum seekers in the u.k. . but the obviously the issue to do with this isn't is so much to do with that but as to whether they were a target or not but people from the far right laurence we may well speak to you again in the news as the picture becomes clearer for the moment many thanks indeed

lawrence leigh there live for us in london. another breaking story to tell you about this mexico city's chief of police. has been injured in an assassination attempt in the capital. clearly gunshots that could be heard across an upscale neighborhood in the city's west where the attack took place the city's mayor said that some people had died but didn't provide any further details at least 12 people though have been arrested are just there as manuel is live for us now in mexico city tell us more about what happened. at approximately 6 38 am local time there was a coordinated attack against mexico city's public security secretary to get see how the food he is essentially the police chief for the mexican capital now i want to make one thing clear here adrian the attack actually took place in downtown mexico

city less than a block away from al-jazeera is mexico city bureau so it was it was practically right out right outside that in itself is big news this is not the sort of thing that residents of mexico city are used to seeing there are pockets of instability in different parts of the country where different organized groups and cartels operate and control territory but it's simply not the sort of thing that we are used to seeing take place here in mexico city this a curious secretary was traveling in armored vehicle and in a sport utility vehicle when a group of heavily armed men opened fire from another vehicle police say that the attackers were using high caliber weapons 50 caliber rifles as well as grenades so again this is a and not dayshift attack that people here are simply not used to seeing several casualties have been reported we do not yet have a number of how many people died during this attack but we can confirm that at least 2 police officers that were accompanying the security secretary were killed

during the attack as well as one bystander the police chief recently tweeted that he's placing the blame on the. least that they are highly skilled move ahead of us here and at least those new generation cartel that in itself is also big news mexico city authorities have long held that the police go cut that has not been operating in mexico city though the cartel did post a you tube video in february claiming that they were operating here in mexico city the attack that took place earlier today appears to be evidence of that adrian ok. reporting live from mexico city many thanks did manuel. in the coming hours u.s. government officials are due to hold the fast public coronavirus task force briefing in any 2 months is a number of states see a resurgence and co had 19 infections the country recorded its biggest daily increase in new cases on thursday as well brunell reports. the magic kingdom

will not be seeing any visitors for now as the disney corporation has delayed the reopening of its amusement park in anaheim california pending new guidelines from the state government the pullback comes as sharply increased numbers of coronavirus cases were reported in arizona california texas florida and more than a dozen other states the company still plans to reopen disney world in florida on july 11th but many floridians think that's too soon about 10000 people have signed a petition demanding disney delayed till the coronavirus numbers come down this is me isn't the only one now slamming on the brakes apple announced it would close 7 apple stores in houston after recently shutting 11 of its stores in arizona texas governor greg abbott who had previously pushed an aggressive restart schedule for businesses in his state hit the pause button on further reopening everyone now

needs to understand the spread of cobra 19 israel in the state of texas abbott says testing shows a massive outbreak and hospitals in major texas cities like houston are on the verge of being overwhelmed people started to act like it was summer and they started to act like it wanted to go back to parties knew lots of big things and it's coming back and it's. airline company stocks took a big hit on wall street thursday after new york new jersey and other northeastern states said they'd require travelers from covert hotspots to self quarantine on arrival we also have to make sure the virus doesn't. community on a plane again in washington president donald trump's economic advisor ignored the overwhelming evidence of a surge as a lot of positive declines in cases just as there are negative declines in cases so you know he said to walk through that but no we will not shut the economy down meanwhile the centers for disease control said the true number of people infected

with covert 19 in the u.s. may be 10 times higher than reported that could mean as many as 23000000 people in the u.s. have been infected many without showing symptoms the c.d.c. calculated the new number based on blood sample testing from around the country for the presence of antibodies to covert 19 rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles live out of the white house on a serious alan fisher is that's all on the white house coronavirus task force having its 1st public briefing in most 2 months does that indicate a level of real concern about this sudden we're seeing in cases that. yes we spoke to kellyanne conway a counselor to the president earlier this week asked why there hadn't been a meeting of the coronavirus task force in public and she said there wasn't information there wasn't the i didn't see it to get the information out to the

public the fact that there are no holding this briefing suggests that that situation has changed over the last 48 hours with the united states seeing record totals of infections both on wednesday and then again on thursday a nother indication of how things are turning round here let's go to texas which was one of the states which was one of the last to shut down one of the fox to reopen greg abbott the governor there very much supported by donald trump and his idea of getting this state moving again well just in the last hour he's announced that pubs the bars will close in. texas time so in 2 hours and they will remain shut for the time being that is a huge step 24 hours ago he was talking about pausing the reopening no they're actually ruling it back and there have been increases in other states as well this isn't just a spike or a flare as donald trump has been talking about this is a real 2nd wave and clearly there are deep concerns among the scientists which is

why we are seeing the this task force hold its briefing interestingly enough it won't be here at the white house you remember all those briefings at the white house in april and early may well know this is going to be at the department of health and human services away from the white house and it looks as if the the current crisis is taking its toll on president trump's reelection hopes a slew of new polls show him way behind joe biden right now. alarming pause if you're in the trump campaign they say that if the election was held today then he would lose by a landslide and he would lose states which have in the past been overwhelmingly republican the all only good news that i can see in these polls for donald trump is that the election isn't being held today so he still has some time to turn things around but just for example he's behind in florida key swing state he's behind in

georgia which you would expect to perhaps be solidly republican and he's behind in texas the importance of that is if you're behind in a state which has been reliably behind donald trump he's won by several points in the past then if you are behind there it means that your campaign has to spend time money and effort just shoring up your support rather than going to swing states let's talk about the swing states wisconsin michigan north carolina in all of those donald trump is down in the polls as well now he did an interview with fox news on thursday with one of his favorite presenters he was given what many people regard as a very softball question tell us what your priorities are for your 2nd term and he didn't answer that in any form that would suggest he has priorities other than it will be 4 more years of donald trump the messaging from the trump campaign has become confused it's not really sure what they're standing for what they're really

offering as you know in politics it's all very well saying i've done this over the last 4 years the main question voters ask is what have you done for me no and what are you going to do for me in the future this is big trouble for donald trump as a say the only bright spot he's got is that the election is november and not in june out here is alan fischer reporting live from the white house in washington allan thanks. this is the news from out syria still to come on the program iraqi forces raid the headquarters of an iran backed armed group that's accused of attacking u.s. military facilities. queuing for cash in lebanon the struggling economy dollars are only available to a select few. and we take a closer look at the man who led liverpool to their 1st premier league title in 30 years that's in the sport the job a little later. iraqi

security forces of raided a base belonging to iran backed militia group 10 rockets were seized at least 14 members of his bala would detained including commandos armed members of the group demanding the release al-jazeera some of the full team reports now from baghdad. well we have now a statement an official statement from the government specifically from the iraqi joint operations command summarizing what happened last night when iraqi security forces raided a base belonging to the type has bought out a statement confirms that 14 individuals were arrested during the raid and several rockets were seized in an effort to preempt an impending attack on the fortified green zone where u.s. forces as well as other diplomatic missions are based now and we have seen several such drop the rocket attacks take place throughout the month and this raid appears to have been an attempt to try to clamp down on the groups responsible now the

statement did also mention that there was an arrest warrant that was issued against those 14 individuals and that is particularly important because in the wake of that raid we saw dozens of armed men presumably belonging to type as bala entered the green zone and lease each to a building that belongs to the counterterrorism forces demanding the release of the detainees claiming that the arrest was lawful now there is also a lot of confusion about who exactly holds those 14 detainees the popular mobilization forces which includes the type as bala has said that they were released several other sources close to qatar possible have also confirmed that they were lit released however industry that we received from the government it confirms that those individuals are still in the custody of the authorities and that an investigation is ongoing the statement is however a very

a vague on 2 aspects it does not say it does not name the group that these 14 individuals belong to and it also does not name the security institution the iraqi security institution that is holding them so it is possible according to some analysts that these 14 people were in fact transferred to the security forces of the popular mobilization forces which include hezbollah. well the iraqi government has been promising to crackdown on. other militias since july last year the shia armed group was formed before the invasion of iraq on anti western and pro iranian ideals during the war it became known for deadly attacks against american and coalition forces the group has longstanding ties with teheran and is often considered to be an extension of the iranian revolutionary guards former leader abu mock the elba hondas was assassinated in the same drone strike which killed iranian general custom so the money last year the government offered an ultimatum to

integrate with the armed forces or to disband they refused to integrate despite that they've continued to carried out of carrying out attacks on coalition forces or the been blamed for an attack on camp taji in march which killed one british and 2 american soldiers. kids a researcher at the university of texas strategy and security institute he says the prime minister doesn't have the political support needed to drive out the militia groups. i think the key thing to understand here is that prime minister must for company and despite his best efforts and whatever his best intentions may be. does not have a popular mandate so if we examine how he came to power in the 1st instance it was by the agreement of both the united states and iran and this was pushed through parliament by blocs but have loyalties to both sites so if we look at the majority of the iraqi parliament today and the most powerful coalitions they tend to be pro uranian groups so he's there for the moxie of groups that have very close ties to

the popular mobilization forces and the probably aren't shia militias within them. if he had a popular mandate for example to run for election with his own political party is own political manifesto and he won it would be a different matter because he would be able to have m.p.'s on his side that will help him legislate to curb their powers and have their influence unfortunately as it stands and since 20162017 when laws were passed that incorporated the popular mobilization of forces into the iraqi armed forces. we now have a situation whereby members of one branch of the armed forces are now arresting members of another branch of the armed forces so you can see how what's formed here is a kind of a in effect a deep state so you have various factions within the iraqi state is that you shouldn't who are loyal to one side or another or even loyal and to themselves and they snipe at each other for want of a better word. libya's national all corporation says that russian and other foreign

mercenaries of stormed it's sure a oil field blocking the resumption of oil exports from the sides after a months long blockade there's been no response from moscow yet on the allegations most of the country's main oil fields are now out of the control of the self-styled libyan national army controlled by eastern warlord khalifa haftar let's go live now to tripoli al-jazeera is mahmoud of the warhead can tell us more now who this is happened before hasn't it. well it happened several times before you know adrian the oil sector has been at the heart of of all disputes conflicts in libya over the past 10 years but this time what is different is that russian mercenaries along with other foreign mercenaries. taken over getting into the oil field and stopping the operation that is some of the production

glasgow via skype and a good to have you with us what more do you know about what happened today there in glasgow. i'm going to be refused several what we know so far is limited however we know that from just before 1 pm there the police rushed to the city center of guys go pretty much across the city you can see oh he's rushing towards western street so what we do know is that benson happened nearby park and hotel and some claimed that there had been stabbings we've been in the hotel. at this moment of time there's still a lot to be explained however it is known that police officers are still there and have and have had multiple vehicles arriving at the scene throughout the day providing reinforcement so the majority of glasgow city center is cordoned off at the minute where the majority of the tactics are still being redirected across the

city of this hotel as i understand was being used to house asylum seekers is that right. yes so that is corrected it had been used by a group to house asylum seekers during the current or virus outbreak so it's being used as temporary housing. at this moment in time i believe that we haven't had a response yet from the spokespeople for. for the group that is in charge of that temporary housing the been a protest at that hotel though in recent weeks have been. well glasgow has actually seen a few protests in recent weeks about one that was just typically about asylum seekers and guys go where protesters were basically demanding that they be treated in a fair way and that one of those protests also saw quite

a heavy police presence and they were essentially entire protests was escorted from the city center of glasgow towards that you stand glasgow. and so yes there there there have been a few protests not exactly at the hotel however in glasgow about asylum seekers and the way. they have been treated and. outbreak itself could took him up many thanks indeed some from the herald the glasgow times newspaper who's. we'll get a weather update next year on al-jazeera the southeast asian leaders be told lions of the sea is asking and so there's a call for a unified response to the global pandemic. coming together to say farewell crowds gather for the funeral of groom this former president. will be the one team's put coronavirus precautions into practice ahead of the delayed start to the

jessica washington reports from jakarta. tired and confused but finally safe after weeks possibly months to see this group of rohingya refugees is finally on land after disembarking in the end metion province of change for now they're staying in an empty government building where officials are checking their health and identity . this man told al jazeera why he made the dangerous journey one. of reckoning state that was slaughtering us we had to beg for a life to be allowed to reach the shore of another country you know he says his brother was murdered in manama and he's traumatized like everyone around him hundreds of thousands of largely muslim have been escaping from myanmar since the military's crackdown began in 2017 it's still not clear how long these refugees were seen indonesian fishermen rescued them and brought them closer to shore before

local authorities decided whether to allow them to disembark the community rallied together carrying the refugees from their vessel and on to land. were felt sorry for most of the children and babies on the boats we didn't have to hard to see that so we decided to bring them to shore a difficult journey all the more dangerous during the pandemic they were tested for covert 19 after disembarking here with how long they'd be here we don't know who coordinate with the central government and immigration the most important thing now is the taste this particular rapid test can be unreliable but so far all the results have returned negative human rights groups have praised the fishermen for rescuing the rohingya refugees from the sea and also the local community for welcoming them with open arms but they say it's now time for the indonesian government to address how they will fulfill the basic needs of these refugees and

work with other countries in the region to stop people from taking these perilous journey the local people are working very hard to collect funds to collect you know basic services or for the really good people but i think it's it's it should be it should be supported by the government. giving them giving them certainty that the government is willing to provide them. the indonesian government says it's working with regional neighbors to put an end to dangerous journeys but he is of discussions have not been able to stop the humanitarian crisis causing people to flee in the 1st place jessica washington al-jazeera jakarta saudi arabia has reported a $12000000000.00 loss in the value of oil exports in april that's a 65 percent drop compared to the same time last year as the world's biggest oil producer the kingdom has been hit hard by the pandemic and the global drop in oil

prices and demand for fuel its decision to join russia and other oil producing countries in slashing production also impacted its export potential international monetary fund predicts that the saudi economy will shrink by almost 7 percent this year let's get the view of bill wall who's the editor of arab digest he joins us now from london via skype good to have you with us bill i mean to be fair saudi arabia was in trouble financially long before the global pandemic wasn't it. yes that's right i mean the price of oil was saving well before the m. pack them in 1000 started to really ship them 10 down into the economies even further the vision 2030 program some months no decision to reshape the saudi economy and the saudi society that was in trouble he needed to get the private sector up and running it's not it's actually going the other way there are job losses as opposed to job creation in the private sector and of course

when coburn 19 comes along then mom and some on the russians group ok and oil price war which $1.00 point drove the price of oil down to $17.00 a barrel now now now bear in mind that the saudis can you know break even an $80.00 a barrel to have to really start to balance the books the saudis are in good financial shape really in some way they've got a huge public investment fund about 320000000000 but mountain lion is using that really almost as a personal bank splashing out on buying all sorts of. other things such as investing in carnival the the big cruise ship company as in terrible shape or he dropped a 7 percent stake in that picked up rather 7 percent stake the value of that stake has dropped by a 3rd in in a couple of months there are many other examples of this shopping spree that may actually come to harm the saudi economy you have to wonder in this environment he's going to spend 300000000 to pick up

a newcastle united football club ordinary saudis need to get a look at that and think hang on a minute what about the jobs you promised us would have to have talked about housing where these 2 in this in this. buying spree that you've engaged upon at a time when oil ok it's at $40.00 a barrel that's not too bad all things considered well where will it be 8 years and the i.m.f. has written down in april they're talking about a 2.3 percent contraction a couple of months later they're talking about a 7. percent contraction this is writing on the wall of mike my question is this is m.b.a.'s actually reading it. to to what extent i mean do you have any sympathy at all for saudi arabia bill given that it is to a certain extent the mercy of the global economy and a drop in demand for oil or do you think the saudi arabia is is being mismanaged i mean if this was an appeal c. and b. s. was the c.e.o.

i suppose he'd be pretty worried about his future wouldn't he. well yes i think you'd probably be honest here and of course a huge sympathy for a saudi arabia and saudi it was people are going through a really rough time as as we all are certainly in this environment i think that markets are monist shown himself to be a gambler has no i mean he turned over a $45000000000.00 of the public investment fund to massa sanzar softbank vision fund in 45 minutes now in may of this year that fund racked up an easy $1000000000.00 loss so even as a gambler is not showing a particularly strong strong hand and many many outside investors are looking at him and thinking judgment not so good in terms of politically in terms of of here they have foreign or foreign adventures it embarks upon most particularly yemen he's looking rather shaky but at the same time he still has

a supportive saudi if they still believe that he will deliver on these promises of jobs and portable housing i think he has to deliver i think that you know that the clock is ticking for him and who knows how long the call the $900.00 crisis goes on the saudis were hoping that china and india would be they are like well it's for the chinese in trouble again with that 19 years suffering with that as well and the price of oil could go below 40 not not the other way i think it's a very very difficult and challenging time and it requires i think a leader who is less concerned about the occur just now promotion of himself and of these huge or expensive what i would call vanity projects really $500000000000.00 for neon outrage an intelligent city of the future and this is not what young saudis need right now they need as i said jobs meaningful jobs and affordable

housing pretty good many thanks dave below that the editor of arab digest and love . lebanon's central bank is launching an electronic foreign exchange trading platform in an attempt to stabilize the exchange rate the mirror has lost nearly 70 percent of its value on the black market in recent months due to a lack of foreign currency reports. licensed exchange shops are only selling dollars to a selected few among them or people who need to pay a foreign worker or buy an airline ticket it's a 1st for lebanon where the foreign currency has long been used in transactions but the country has run out of dollars due to a deep economic crisis that has led to the collapse of the local currency attempts by the central bank to stabilize the rate including launching an electronic trading platform have so far failed they've been trying to fix the price of the. rate that is just not reflective of what demand and supply is so they've been just

trying to fix it at a very low rate unfortunately unfortunately the lira has lost at least 75 percent of its value on the black market since october nearly 50 percent in the past month many are hurting in a country that is import dependent. that to be $750.00 now it was less than $200.00 lebanon needs fresh dollars but money from abroad has stopped flowing in. many war in the exchange rate instability will continue without foreign assistance a return of confidence in the economy and as long as those who have been on the worst financial crisis are in power. discussions with the international monetary fund on a bailout have made no progress the political elite the central bank and the banking sector are still arguing over who is responsible for bankruptcy in this state they're also failing to carry out reforms like fighting corruption a member of the negotiating team resigned in protest it is the state in all its
