he wanted to show hasn't been a still developing through the ohio valley and towards the east. al-jazeera. hello i'm rob mother sent in this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the top court strikes down a deal that a lot of tech companies to transfer the private data of european citizens to the u.s. as a by johns foreign minister is sacked as fighting continues on the volatile border with armenia. $1300000.00 more americans filed jobless claims with additional federal funding for the unemployed set to expire in 2 weeks. and

a british woman who went to syria to join eisold when she was a schoolgirl wins the right to return and challenge the removal of her citizenship . and i'm proud of how much now have all the sport including. there's a $33.00 draw against south. title in a row. europeans top court has scrapped data sharing privacy agreement with the u.s. a decision that could have far reaching implications for businesses the case was brought by austrian privacy activist max sram so over the way that facebook sent personal information around the world now the ruling ends what's known as the previously shield it's supposed to protect you or penes data when it's transferred to america the court says the deal is no longer valid because many u.s.

tech companies are obliged to give some access to government surveillance the u.s. says it's deeply disappointed adding it still studying the decision to fully understand its practical impacts. well the case began washrooms challenge facebook's data safeguards he says some personal information hasn't been protected when it's transferred from europe to other parts of the world but this case has wider implications it could shake up the way thousands of european and american businesses transfer data overseas in 2015 sherm's one another case ending a similar e.u. u.s. deal called safe harbor both cases stemmed from revelations by american whistleblower edward snowden of mass surveillance by the u.s. basically the court of justice says all necessary transfers are still possible so there is not going to be a situation where you cannot message your friends in the u.s. anymore but you have to separate for example messages within europe and messages that actually go to the u.s. and then have to say ok only messages to go to the u.s.

are actually sent to us servers but messages between 2 people in the end of for example have to state somehow in europe i think the only solution that we can possibly see is serious surveillance reform in the u.s. because that now becomes a business interest the silicon valley will simply realize that either u.s. laws are going to be changed to a certain extent or they will literally have to move a lot of their operation to europe and even split their systems into 2 parts are going to go on to is co-director of the maastricht tech lab and she says the ruling is going to have far reaching consequences. the case is basically about 2 decisions of the european commission one from 2016 and one from 2010 and particularly the one from to sept 2016 that has been squashed by the court this is the privacy shield that you were referring to earlier this has been seen as the way in which the european commission has bowed down to u.s. influence and marks has been mentioning that this case really shows how the

european union as a whole really needs to take into account that u.s. surveillance laws needs need reform and need serious reform so in a nutshell this case is about the 2 very procedural decisions but from a practical perspective it's about the situation when a user concludes a contract with facebook which is going to be facebook ireland for users from the european union and then the question is how can it facebook us get access to data from things we're carland so the answer to that is that it's not going to be that easy. none of us are going is under way into a major hack of twitter which sell fake messages posted from some of its most famous users the social media company says hackers targeted employees to gain access to twitter's internal systems among those affected were former barack obama and a muslim boss jeff bezos we're told to get reports. the fake tweets were only on screen

for a few minutes but long enough for people to capture screenshots of several before they were removed which is confirmed and identified hackers broke into the accounts of high profile politicians tech company 1000000000 as and celebrities in a scam apparently designed to leo people into sending money to an anonymous bitcoin account twitter followers will offer $2000.00 for every $1000.00 they sent this was an account all about opportunity and what you're seeing is you know very high profile people reach a lot of people very quickly bitcoin is something that can be turned into cash very quickly anonymously so i think somebody found a very clever way to extract a lot of money from people in a very quick amount of talent that might also be a demonstration of twitter's weak security control as campaigning steps up for the presidential election in november a contest in which twitter is likely to play an influential role u.s.

president donald trump's account which has more than $83000000.00 followers was not among those hacked chief executive jet doocy said tough day for us at twitter we all feel terrible this happened we diagnosing and we'll share everything we can when we have a more complete understanding of exactly what happened i think we're probably very lucky that people who took it very chose to use it as a crude scam really i think it could have been very much more impactful. i can't really imagine different ways they could have played out i think we're quite lucky that responsibility has been surfaced in way that was relatively benign the bitcoin account mentioned in the fake tweets received 12.9 bitcoins by the end of wednesday equivalent to around $114000.00 roughly half that in bitcoin was withdrawn from the account the same day the story a gay to be al-jazeera. azerbaijan's foreign minister has been sacked for what the president calls meaningless negotiations with neighboring armenia and that says

more fighting broke out on the border despite both sides saying they're trying to find a peaceful solution both countries say their villages are being shelled by opposition forces at least 16 people have been killed since sunday and tension between the former soviet republics has been escalating for several years over the disputed region of not cornel cut a buck or robin for us ian walker has covered the conflict extensively and he's joining me live from tbilisi in neighboring georgia robin just bring us up to date with what the latest is particular with the foreign minister. 1st of all start with the peace on the ground where there had been a fragile. truce or a situation in hostilities which was broken during the night again both sides accusing the other of starting the latest salvo of rockets and how it's

shells this took place at about 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning again both sides reporting some extensive damage not just on military targets but on civilian infrastructure i was in touch with someone in the armenian village of he said that the gas supply had being cut and they had been woken up in the night with that shell fire situation on the ground and now we're hearing this serious development with the foreign minister mr. longstanding since 2004 being dismissed by president. he's going to be replaced by the former education minister. but out of had a lot of experience as foreign minister he was. obviously leading all the head guy when it came to negotiations over the disputed region of. the presidents has been expressing his frustration in recent weeks and again yesterday

with the formats of diplomacy he said he had had enough of passive diplomacy he wanted more offensive diplomacy so an indication of perhaps. his frustration with the way things were going and his need to stir things up to try to move things forward because he is there he's expressing their repeated frustration with the fadia the peace talks to bring any resolution to this longstanding dispute over nagorno-karabakh and the fighting that's taking place now on. international borders very much i think being driven by that frustration on the as airy side. in neighboring georgia thank you very much indeed. well another 1300000 unemployment claims have been filed in the u.s. last week new jobless claims have been mostly steady over the past month after falling over may and early june as many states opened up their economies but now

a real openings are being posed amid a surge in coronavirus cases well let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly hall could kimberly this happening of course at a time for an additional federal funding for unemployment is expected to expire in a couple of weeks. yeah that is being exhausted and it doesn't appear that there is anything imminently in the works to help out the millions of americans that still find themselves unemployed and also those that are filing new claims as you just reported 1300000 americans last week now this number is as you reported largely flat really just down about 10000 from the previous week but what is notable is the fact that there have been almost 3 months or more of steady declines in the number of jobless claims that have been filed and so this is a real concern for this white house because they had been hoping to try and reopen this economy to really get americans back to work to lift their spirits even though

the u.s. president has been pushing very hard to reopen the schools something that is also getting pushed back why because we've have these spikes along the so-called sun belt of the united states the south and the western states that as you've reported are positing they're reopening what does that look like it's restaurants it's jim it's movie theaters places that people like to go to get out of their house now not able to do because of this rising cope with 19 cases so that has made the claim numbers very steady and in fact many bracing in terms of the possibility that they could go back next week so this is a real concern again as i mentioned for this u.s. president because of course he was hoping to cruise to reelection in november on historically low unemployment now all of those gains have been wiped out as a result of covert 19 and also a problem for this president is some of the turmoil that's happening within his campaign specifically we learned in the last 24 hours that he has replaced his

longtime campaign manager brad parr schell after there really been tension between the 2 since the rally in tulsa oklahoma notably the fact that it's one of these southwestern states that of course has had a rise in cope with 1000 cases many people poor. to that rally as being one of the reasons why but the 10 is there was very low when the president was very unhappy about that now there's been this staff shakeup it kind of mirrors some of the staff shake ups we've been seeing at the white house for quite some time and very quickly we should point out that joe biden the presumptive democratic nominee he did have some campaign shake ups too but they happened much earlier in the campaign and what we've seen now that he's stabilized just campaign staff we've seen his poll numbers rising and the president really struggling so this is not good news for the president whether his poll numbers whether it's his jobless claims that reelection that once looked so easy for president trump now really appear in quite difficult as the latest numbers so hit show him behind his rival joe biden by double digits

that's our white house correspondent kimberly halakhah china is the 1st major economy to report growth since the start of the covert 19 pandemic government statistics show an unexpected 3.2 percent increase in the 2nd quarter and that's after the world's 2nd largest economy suffered its worst slump in nearly 50 years during a lot done so ministers are nearly back to normal but consumer spending remains down. the epidemic is still spreading false data sees the restarts recovery of the world economy and trade has been very difficult domestically the recovery of. the pressures of stabilizing and surprises and safeguarding residential employment a huge return to you has more from beijing than how the government explains the economic turnaround. well the chinese government has attributed it to being able to control the corona virus outbreak now we did have a new cluster in beijing at the end of may beginning of june that was very concerning so many neighborhoods put back into lockdown but since then some

draconian measures put in place by the government seem to worked and now we're back to single digits in terms of no local transmissions in the last few weeks also the government has been ramping up their spending of infrastructure as well we've seen new rail projects of the building projects subway stations built in beijing and other major cities and the government has also been making it easier for businesses to borrow money from banks to invest in their businesses so these a the reasons that the government is stating that we've seen this 3.2 percent increase in g.d.p. growth which is quite a sharp turn around from the previous quarter where we saw 6.8 percent in terms of a contraction the 1st in decades chinese state media here today on those they are celebrating this saying it's a success it proves that the chinese measures to contain the current virus have worked and it's also a beacon of hope for other economies that are struggling at the moment but of

course we have to take this figure with a grain of salt because it's impossible to verify these government figures but it is true if you walk around the major cities here in china certainly in beijing it does appear to be business as usual shops and restaurants are open many people are back to the office and even domestic travel is starting to resume. plenty more ahead in the news hour including a life or death social media campaign how a hash tag that went viral halted the impending executions of 3 antigovernment protesters in iran. and it was a night of celebration in porto santo is going to have all the details later on in sport. taiwan is held annual military drills meant to show off its readiness to defend itself against an attack from mainland china president sighing when says the war

games are important to show determination and efforts to protect the island robert bryant sent this report from seoul. as tensions increase with mainland china a defiant show of strength by taiwan its latest military hardware on display much of it sold by the united states. was undertaken significant investment in military assets over the past few years and these operations gave a real opportunity to to see and to evaluate their systems to evaluate their chains of command and see how their operations would work in times of crisis in times of peace now. in times of in times of conflict disaster relief for instance the annual life fire drills held since the 1980 s. test the island's ability to fight off an attack from its far more powerful neighbor the exercises include air defense and followed by incursions by

chinese military aircraft in recent months. watching the war games taiwan's president signing one who is riding a wave of popularity for taking a more defiant stand against beijing and. the hong kong exercises an annual major event of our military and it shows the combat power of our troops we want the world to see our determination and efforts to protect our country china's growing territorial claims in the south china sea are being resisted by the united states secretary of state mike pompei o describing the claims as completely unlawful as u.s. warships continue their exercises in the disputed waters incurring the wrath of china's government. that we urge the u.s. is stop stirring up trouble in regards to the south china sea issue and to not keep going further down the wrong track china will continue to resolutely safeguarded

sovereignty and safety set against the background of worsening relations between washington and beijing taiwan can be assured of its continuing support from the u.s. but with these exercises also trusting in its own ability to defend the island if necessary mcbride al-jazeera. let me bring you some breaking news now the u.k. says a state sponsored hackers from russia are involved in trying to steal information related to covert 900 vaccine research british security officials say research in the u.s. and canada has been targeted as well let's go to paul brennan his life for us in london paul what more do we know about this. well a couple reports in front of me here it is it's an advisory that's been issued by the british cyber security national cybersecurity center and what it effectively says is that apt 29 a group or hacker group also known as the jukes or perhaps more familiarly known as

cozy bear and regarded generally as a kind of agent of the russian. intelligence services throughout 2020 it says after 29 various organizations involved in covert 900 vaccine developments. in canada the united states and the united kingdom highly likely with the intention of stealing information on intellectual property relating to the development and testing of covert 19 vaccines that are very serious charge indeed this advisory includes computer code and advice on how companies and states can counteract the tense by at 29 to steal any data the advisory also says that so far there's no evidence that any attempts to steal data have been successful it says there's been no impact yet but no impact that they're aware of on any of the research but the director of the national cybersecurity center has described these attacks as

despicable. the timing of this is interesting isn't it paul because also i understand the british government is accusing russia or russian actors i should say in courts of trying to interfere in the general election last year saying sensitive documents related to a trade agreement were illicitly acquired what more do we know about this and just talk to us about the timing of this release as well. yeah this is it this is a very fast rolling snowball and it's quickly picking up momentum as regards the the revelation i suppose today about the 2019 election that came from a written statement from the foreign secretary dominic robb who said that on the basis of extensive analysis the government's concluded it was almost certain that russian actors sorts to interfere in the 2019 u.k. general election through the online amplification of illicit requests acquired and leaks government documents what he's referring to is some trade u.s. u.k.

trade documents which were. published online. by read it and then apple fired by the labor party used in the campaign to suggest and claim that the national health service was going to be up for sale essentially if if the trade deal went through what the allegation is from the foreign secretary is that russian actors russian agents were effectively involved in trying to get that story have more traction so as to create damage in the $21000.00 election that separates so another part of russian interfet alleged interference and that's a report which is jew out next week now a long delayed report by the intelligence and security committee here in the u.k. looking at alleged russian interference in the 2016 votes on the 2017 u.k. general election so we're looking now at 4 separate incidents of alleged russian

alleged and not just alleged but the security sentence actually saying that it's happened of russian interference in syria's aspects of not just democracy but also the fights to control the coronavirus pandemic so a really really serious allegations coming one after the other in very quick succession you know and it sounds as though there's a lot more still to come paul and we're going to be checking in with you as this develops but for now paul brennan in london thank you very much indeed. but his court of appeal has ruled that a schoolgirl who travel to syria to join us all should be allowed to return to the u.k. because i am a beggar i'm chris now 20 years old had her citizenship revoked in 2019 she wants to return to challenge that decision. is a summary my bedroom's lawyer he's joining us on skype from london we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed can i ask you 1st of all what it is that

can do about her case in the u.k. that she is unable to do from where she is at the moment well the moment she's in a refugee camp in syria and has no direct access. she has no secure communications which it offends against the idea that a person speak freely with wars without repercussions. the conditions she's in fall below the standards of minimum human wants in law school to know all he wants so there's a there's a lot isn't there leaves to be desired really about how she's supposed to be engaged in that process from a refugee camp in the middle of a war zone is currently under technically. a certain troll is it necessary for her to come back to the u.k. or coach and travel to another country and do it from there. well and some of the leaders speaking the issue is well which country would take somebody in

these circumstances where the u.k. government has expressed this strong ones are not to have. been about this is about us even legal war other than potentially quite innocently be with somebody who is not the problem so unfortunately s.c.f. . and the kurdish people find themselves having been allies of the u.k. and america u.k. citizens and foreign citizens but the thing to do with one of the our arguments i think the u.k. government was pretty forward was that they regarded her presence as a national security threat what could she and her team do to convince the government that that was not the case. well i think it's for the government to convince the court that she's such a security threat as. she mustn't be allowed in the u.k. laws without losing her citizenship. and that's going to be somewhat

difficult when the u.k. government is accepted wanted return even some of which are male voices and who such a debate in itself in parliament accepted some of which were not in significant risks themselves so when you compare the people that's what the people who are governments admitted have done by already has a 15 year old girl who went out in school to isis and by all accounts times are housewives 3 children actually died one has to wonder what is the security risk suppose the british government has said reacted necking that negatively to this ruling by the court there is proof that putting the british government in a tough spot is not because on the one hand it now has to find a way of bringing back on to the u.k. for the case but at the same time it has repeatedly said that is something that is absolutely not going to do is that a way is that a compromise in fact that could be reached. i mean the british government at the

moment is a lot of elite so all you can respect are acting legally in many forms particularly the immigration. we've been watching what have you and this governments have to start paying a compensation for the illegality of these actions so thankfully we live in a country still in chancellor more and the government has to form of the media more so it's more than anyone else you can find to find compromises for the government is for the government can't you follow the u.k. lord soul and to abide by the little bit schools really good to get your thoughts on this tassie mark and say we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed. black lives matter a statue put up in place of a slave trade a sculpture has itself been taken down the statue depicting black lives matter activist was taken down by bristol's council a little over a day after it was illegally erected officials say they've yet to decide what will

go in its place but will consult with the public the statue was created to replace one depicting slave trader edward colston which was torn down by protesters. ethiopia says it has not started filling the reservoir of africa's largest down despite earlier reports the increase in water levels being attributed to seasonal heavy rain and a natural part of the construction process on the blue nile river if you are here has told sudan the dam gates have not been closed both egypt and sudan fear reduced water supplies downstream and don't want the river dam until a binding agreement is reached has more on the confusion surrounding the status of the project. it's difficult to know what's going on at the damage because there was no access to it by international media no experts are visiting no foreign delegations are visiting the damn site so we can only hear from the choppiness and they said something when they came back and said something different we can only

analyze that particularly this this situation since yesterday a situation of confusion at least for people outside the chopper can benefit each opens they want probably to test not only the dams capacity if indeed they try to fill it they began to fill the lake that's a technical test for the dam itself whether it works or not and this could be the biggest or the most important test because there were concerns technically speaking about whether the dam can really support this idea of you know holding up to 74000000000 cubic meters so a test will be good a test or saw of the actions of the countries downstream sudan and egypt and the international community and particularly the u.s. and the u.n. in the world bank who have been partners in the negotiations to resolve this dispute so they can gather a lot of. conclusions from what happened yesterday and that's going to benefit them

going ahead because they have to know what to do in these tough negotiations. ok time for the weather jenny's here now we've been talking a lot about rain over asia over the last few days but different news in europe will some better news show us a maybe finally a sign of summer across areas in the west rob yes you have to get excited about it that way and i'm sure if you're in your you might be feeling pretty excited to look at this case guys portugal spain much of france there is some cloud around of course there is but even with this cloud we have seen some nice sunshine into portugal this is a little town just long the coast of africa has been and there's actually a heat wave in place for the next few days that means some areas of particularly into lisbon now having settled this we've also had some thunderstorms and this was one such downpour look at this in polemic in sicily this rain came down about 80 millimeters in less than an hour and this is what it did i mean it was widespread there were dozens and dozens of cars under water the good news is the rain out she should come soon and that really was one just isolated downpour very unusual but you can see there's more than isolated rain across the central areas some heaviest

falls as well certainly through switzerland on towards austria to head of that we've got again a few more showers we have a quite a county picture i'm not talk about the summer sunshine it doesn't really see much like it at the moment but i promise you things are actually beginning to warm up this is friday there is some rain trying to push into the north of the u.k. doesn't make much headway we've got a mix of cloud across areas of france across into germany and the rain is further to the south but as i say about the temperatures they are beginning to warm up about warmer insupportable and spain it means madrid is very warm for the next few days london is not quite as warm but it's better quite cloudy and then paris as well slightly improving picture and finally some better temperatures rob thank you very much indeed and still ahead on al-jazeera they come across a victory for the fish you know. facing in qatar's waters why it's the perfect home for the gentle giant it's kind of sports we look ahead to the memorial tournament quite a number of golf's biggest names will face off. frank

assessments tourism income stream is dead in the water what's been the result in poaching go up quite significantly informed opinions there has been a very aggressive political rhetoric that has become very normal in israeli society in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines it's time for new policy say on the street they cannot all be seen to grady but it's great to meet face to leading people we all continue inside story on al-jazeera out is the real world needs for remarkable both. survived this after those closest to them were taken away never to return. some of the 8000 muslim men and boys killed in the strip when it's a massacre 25 years ago heart felt accounts from those left behind trying to move

young people was basically why the government was basically a after. dating terrorizing get. dissatisfied and rest of the population in the face of increasing economic security environmental and social challenges that are rooted in systemic corruption and mismanagement. and incompetence of the government so basically the government is trying to send a message that the coal is the coercive force is very much at hand that available and if people take the streets to protest against certain policies david b. then this very group falls the 2nd point is that this hash tag was very much produces spontaneously and on a massive scale a why people activists and journalists mostly inside iran at that also

shows how the society is opposed on it basically collective let alone the policies that the government is pursuing get asshole out of the rule of the circle and if i have time i can. more at length as well. well if you give us a 3rd point to give us there give us a briefing and then hopefully we might be able to expand on that if we have time to show so basically the circle in which is really important is. why foreign governments betrothed ministration the saudi government as well as writing writing government of benjamin netanyahu to. kind of jump on the on the back end and write they pretend that they are all sorts all. this this grassroots movement. are part of. this is the market effort.

to protect human rights in iran but main time at the same time they have been for well supporters of sanctions of threats the wall inside iran that made a huge contribution to things coming to this point so am i right in thinking that what you're saying is that this was accumulation of all those factors and this was a public response to it if that is the case one thing i did want to ask you about we have seen very large protests in the past in tehran particularly but iran in parts of iran which produce very little or no response why is it when people take to social media that the government does such a significant u. turn. but i think because there are almost no oil and days of expressing the sentence on the street every time people have taken

to the street they have been crushed with brittle course at the same time i think people are understanding are starting to understand that most of the predicaments most of these problems inside iran are caused by foreign governments as well as by by. drug mismanagement but also by foreign governments who are pretending to support the cause of human rights inside iran but at the same time doing anything and everything they jam to to basically deprive people of their rights in the name of opposing the regime people are i think trying to understand this and this campaign this social. media campaign is a kind of response to both sides. but of ash we appreciate it thank you very much indeed

for joining us on al-jazeera. at least 213 people across asia have died over the past month and floods and landslides caused by monsoon rains at least 4000000 people have been affected a 3rd of bangladesh is under water after rains cause widespread flooding and more than 3600000 people have been displaced in india's us on state alone since mid may as many as 170 animals have been rescued from considering and national park and after it was flooded a rhino calf that had been separated from its mother was also saved because that anger is one of the home to one most of the world's remaining one horned rhinos animals have been struggling to survive after most of the park became submerged in water at least 60 animals have died. among the indian states affected by the floods is bihar which is also the latest region to go into lockdown to contain the corona virus the number of covered 1000 infections across the country is approaching

1000000 more than $600.00 deaths were reported in the last 24 hours and the red cross is warning the virus is spreading at an alarming rate throughout south asia elizabeth put on him hands this update from new delhi. what's happening and be had a significant because it's the end ta est it's india's 2nd most populous state a population of nearly 150000000 people who are going into lockdown for 2 weeks and as you mentioned behind is one of india's most impoverished states and so the number of cases there are concerning because it has one of the if not the worst public health care system in the country it's conducting some of the lowest number of tests less than a 10th of the tests that say delhi has been conducting every day and the other reason why the situation in behind is concerning is because of the very number of migrant workers who return to be had when the national law was imposed in late

march 2 point 5000000 people who work outside of the state were turned off and traveling and unhygienic conditions now it's all of these reasons that the state government there has imposed the knock down but one of the criticisms whether it's and elsewhere. which we're seeing more and more across india is that they are accompanied with very little information given this measure and be hard for instance we haven't heard from the government about how they're going to use the time off to lock down whether they're going to increase testing will improve contact tracing all of which you know just as important measures to contain the outbreak as a lockdown itself. sermon is being held in spain to all of those who died during the coronavirus pandemic the event was attended by the country's king top officials from the european union and the world health organization spain is one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic with over 20. qatar's waters host

some of the largest gatherings of whale sharks in the world for the planet's biggest fish and research has found they come here to feed on the abundance of fish eggs in the waters 7 got exclusive access to head out to sea and swim with these gentle sea giants. for scanning the waters but not for these playful visitors. this. we've traveled almost 2 hours off the qatari coast to find these majestic animals the whale shark the biggest fish in the world and they gather here in huge numbers mohammed al jaida the head of the whale shark research project here explains the biggest emitter we recorded by a drone is 350 with one shot but in our database we have more than 600

record the. world record. a bucket list moment as they say. our 1st glimpse of these enormous gentle giants. it's hard to describe the feeling of swimming alongside them watching them feed feeling like tiny insignificant yet privileged guests in their world. ringback camera man nick porter and i surface after swimming with them for the 1st time. in a critical. week for. the scale of what we are witnessing only really becomes apparent once you take to the sky. and why do they come here the main thing in this area is the temperature the well you see if you go 5 or 6 kilometers out of this the water temperature is
