consulate in houston texas a live update shortly from the u.s. but 1st let's get this report from al-jazeera katrina you in chengdu. in chengdu work has begun dismantling the u.s. consulate that's founded in the southwestern chinese city in 1985 chinese state media says have until monday morning to vacate the premises beijing blames the u.s. for the escalating tensions and has accused the trumpet ministration. stirring up trouble and anti china sentiment around the world they've waited 2 days to do this they're trying to appear very measured and they've also extended a number all branches of the last few days indicating that they were for talks rather than to this kind of unilateral action remember they're doing this because they need to look like they are willing to defend themselves on the other side of the globe a group of men reportedly federal agents false to open

a back door of the chinese consulate in houston workers left the building on friday after appearing to been documents earlier in the week there vixen ordered by american officials who say the consulate was a hub of chinese espionage and accusation beijing denies china ripped out of our price intellectual property and trey zwicker is causing millions of jobs all across america for washington the list of issues is long the u.s. has arrested for chinese scientists accusing them of working secretly for the chinese military. special trade status with the u.s. has been revoked after china imposed a new security rule and washington has imposed sanctions on chinese officials over the alleged persecution of ethnic muslims as the coronavirus president trump has increasingly pointed to china as being responsible a tactic seen as shifting blame away from what critics say has been his own failed

response to the pandemic and finally qual way the chinese telecoms giant accused of posing security threats now banned in the u.s. and person. we are slipping he appears into a new cold war and it's this strange combination that we have right now in our american politics which is the domestic political pressure combined with longstanding grievances and concerns between the united states and china once the u.s. continent here in town to close this there will be full remaining on china's mainland but beijing says it won't hesitate to shut down another to washington to retaliate further against chinese missions in the rest continue al-jazeera to just say at the very latest when we got our correspondent in miami and we've seen her read activity really at consular offices both in chengdu and houston what's going on certainly in houston bring us up to speed on what we know. while the deadline for the consulate to close in houston was on friday and about 40 minutes after the deadline

passed state officials moved in and the police barricaded off the entire building as people gathered around but before all that happened i'm reading reports that the fire crews were called there because the consulate staff were burning documents dumping other shredded documents into bins outside the consulate but a very hurried scene in houston and i think we look at the wider picture here it seems that this is almost certainly going to be an issue in the upcoming presidential election we've already heard president donald trump blaming china front and center for this pandemic calling it the china flu calling it the chinese pandemic so it seems this will become a an issue in the presidential election of course you got mike pompei it was speech as well in which he was criticized in some ways by many experts for using a very simplistic cold war type language but if you just look at the month of july

these tit for tat now you've got the u.s. government saying china has no right to any anything in the china sea moving. military ships into that region of course there's a situation in hong kong as well and that's just in the month of july so this perhaps is being seen by experts as a new low in china u.s. relations since both countries normalize diplomatic relations in the late seventy's and you all sort of coverage is this story getting across the u.s. because you've got covert 19 as a huge story protests going on in oregon of which the president says he's trying to clamp down on a horrific scenes overnight how do you assess where the where does the china story come in all of this. well i think you know for president trump's supporters they may see trump as the only man to take on the giant that is china but i think overwhelmingly people in this country are preoccupied by the pandemic particularly here in florida which is the worst state at the moment facing this but i think

business people across the u.s. will be extremely worried by this breakdown in relations because of course many manufacturers have bases in china get their products made cheaply in china so that will be a concern to those in the business community but for the wider public in the united states at the moment their every waking moment is taken up with dealing with this horrible pandemic and you go here in miami thank you australia has added to the arguments over the south china sea saying china has no legal claims to the area cambra made the declaration to the united nations bringing it further into line with washington the u.s. has long opposed beijing's claims but avoided calling them illegal until last week china claims about 90 percent of the south china sea including ownership of the spratly islands which is disputed by the philippines vietnam and others the scrubber show is claimed by china and the philippines and that disagreement

escalated 8 years ago when the philippine navy apprehended 8 mainland chinese fishing vessels. well u.s. federal agents sent to portland by president trump public and fired tear gas a protest us and made arrests demonstrators have rallied every night for 8 weeks in the west coast city demanding police reforms well leaders in oregon state say the agents in riot gear only making things worse. the. federal agents again firing tear gas at black lives matter demonstrators in downtown portland. the protesters have spent weeks demanding racial equality in america while others are calling for police reforms and an end to brutality by officers the city center court house is the focus of the anger in portland. that anger increased when president donald trump ordered federal agents to be sent to the city to protect the port 18 arrests have been made this week fireworks were

aimed at the building and several fires lit the federal agents responded with tear gas was the was like i was right out he was the. organ state officials opposed federal law enforcement in portland they say federal agents in riot gear only making the situation worse. than. the reverse. on what you want to protest across the us began in may after the police killing of unarmed black american george clooney. has promised to back the police and stop the protests in a speech this week he said he will be sending hundreds of federal troops to cities all across america americans was hold their city leaders accountable they must insist that community officials fully support fully back and fully fund their local

police departments there is simply no substitute for a policed. parp and that has the strong backing of city leaders. as well as the tear gas fired during the latest unrest important peaceful protesters released balloons and bubbles. i pad more protests are expected the authority al-jazeera. the u.s. military has released what it says is proof that russia is violating a u.n. arms embargo in libya the pentagon claims the satellite pictures show russian military equipment being used on the frontlines of the conflict these include find defense systems and vehicles the u.s. says russia has basting support for a lot of hostile correspondent monic training joins me now live from misrata the satellite imagery is quite revealing and with the on going threats by egypt to

intervene in the struggle the clashes in libya far from over. we've been seeing recently after forces building up reinforcing their positions in sirte and the jenae military has been saying all along that mercenaries belonging to the russian wagner group are position in the city of sirte the u.s. africa command also in may pointed out that orders or posted images of fighter jets russian fighter jets moving to just that south central libya and the idea is that these are russian state jets obviously wagner group or mercenary groups don't really have their own air force so this is saying that the russians are building up their influence in libya we also saw the russian and the turks suggesting that there is a work in creating

a working group to sort of deescalate the situation. and at the same time on monday president donald trump and. c.c. discussed in a phone call about the escalating the situation but at the same time the egyptian parliament unanimously approved sending troops abroad now many people here think that if president c.c. was to deploy troops it would further escalate the situation and would further destabilize the country and have to say the feeling here is that libyans are increasingly being taken out of the decision making process i mean we're seeing these meetings in moscow and across european capitals and so here the people here feel that they're not in the decision making process and. in the solution to to solving the libyan conflict indeed there are also moving parts to this story right now all of the days what the u.n. recognized government in tripoli is saying about any intended assault because it is

the red line so both sides. well that's right i mean the jury in the military is saying that they are going to enter syria i mean whether that's done politically through these negotiations and and through these peace negotiations is yet to be seen but they they are adamant about entering the city of sirte and turkey who supports the g.n.a.t. also agree with that sentiment they say that any negotiations or any negotiations on the cease fire will have to be after the g.n.a.t. take control of the city of sirte in the city of. military commanders i spoken to here in misrata say they are adamant about entering the city of sirte and and really these are the 1st is that know the city of sirte very well i mean they've they fought in around sirte. quite a quite a lot in the 2011 they went into sirte and killed and. gadhafi long time we don't

want gadhafi and in 2016 they went in again to liberate the city from isis so these are 1st primarily here from misrata but also we saw convoys coming in large convoys reinforcing those positions from western libya and so they think they want to go into sirte they say they're waiting for the command they're waiting for phases. of the jna. in advance whether this militarily or through these political negotiations yet it's yet to be seen. in misrata thanks for joining us. in the syrian military targets the army says it's retaliation emotions being fined towards the israeli occupied golan heights tension has been high after hezbollah was killed in an israeli airstrike need to mask is on monday the lebanese group is wrong also is deployed in syria to

support president bush. well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour the world. was speaking out against the silencing your hungry as media thousands protest accusing the government of crushing a popular news website plus. another show of defiance for a 3rd straight week protesters in russia call for the release of the arrested regional governor. and in sports i will explain why this goal has all but ended the race to the italian champion's. somalia's parliament has voted to remove prime minister her son. there's been growing criticism over his handling of security the very tall so it comes during a dispute with regional leaders over the timing of a national election due to take place early next year. now the psyching of the

editor of a leading news website and hungry has provoked a mass march by antigovernment protesters and that followed the must walk out of journalists in support of the editor who warned that government interference is in danger and media freedom tower leg was more. about god they came out in their thousands to voice their anger at what they say is the latest silencing of hungary's press more than 80 journalists from the country's most read news site called index have resigned from their jobs after their editor in chief was sacked last month he publicly raised the alarm over political interference in the uk its operations for many the dismissal was seen as a government directive and the last rule if elephant for you took the telephone on the list we called him on the phone and said we would like to initiate the end that we no longer want to work at index after this about 60 members of the 90 people on

the staff at the same they also resigned and are ending their work at index. index has long been regarded as hungary's key independent media outlet but it is also been a target of this man hungary's prime minister viktor orban who once branded a fake news factory one of his allies recently took charge of its sales are perhaps a sign of things to come. critics say the government is trying to bring as many independent media outlets under its control. and we are of the editorial staff which today probably made one of the biggest sacrifices and risks to shine a spotlight on what's happening on how a newsroom can be destroyed how even the strongest and most read news portals can be ruined in hungary. one popular columnist who reminded the crowd of the 2800 quote in defense of free speech from mr orban himself me sure. we would never have

the adult city personas those who don't agree with us and yet. across central europe it's not only hungry that seen the steady decline of independent news outlets and to steer toward autocratic rule a major sticking point in the debate over the e.u.'s pandemic recovery fund last week was whether poland and hungary should be penalized financially for their behavior but in the end the money came through and viktor orban claimed what he called a huge victory many say the latest developments at home look like yet another win for the hungary and leader curry leg al-jazeera. lawyers an analyst at hunger in think tank the center for political analysis joins me now from edmonton in canada could have you with us on the program so really it's quite interesting that a website can be so influential. yes but that is the

case because most of the most of the hunger in us papers are already either close to the government or not really widely read and the online media has been surging and i'm going to guess that it has everywhere else and index has been by far the most popular honey area news that site for the past 20 years basically so it's really important that it was it was really important that it was independent. like certain other news sites and now it seems that it's in the process of becoming more and more pro-government are you surprised about the public turn out to protest about what the government. is doing and what their role might be in the way that trying to influence this website it's a bit surprising yes because all spend the make and the weather was very good so the turnout was pretty high for such a such session use because it wasn't something that. was economically

important for people it was something that is mostly a symbolic thing at this point so we don't know if it's quite high but overall it's not enough to really put any pressure on the government on this issue i mean the right wing populist government told that to all by and have continued to clash with the e.u. western institutions opposition groups in the country over the basic issues of freedoms as well as the un charter the e.u. charter do you think he can really ignore the warnings domestically and internationally can he still keep fighting head told with these institutions and get away with it. that's exactly what he what his politics is based on he likes clashes he likes the battles he will he use his own back directory very very often he likes to present himself as the savior hungry from other organized

organizations that do undermined not just his rule but hunger area well being in general and the hungry m a r y so that's why he's clashing with bravo and n.g.o.s and a lot of other organizations that tried to and he this is the basic principle of his message that he's doing this last season in these big stories after rick perry's so he claimed we 30 or 30 brussels. brussels meetings last week and now he's not going to claim victory because the show is this is not something that's a government. in an economic way with no fish or government. representatives doing anything but he will use this also as we 3 in the long run and this is his goal to be in as many battles s. as he can so he's not going to be silenced by any critics. on

the on the contrary he's and he was the big fight that was really it just very quickly if i could ask the warning signs of his kind of that full the mandrel electoral vote back in october lost to a more liberal candidate and there are people in the political sphere that can challenge the incumbent government in the us to be careful about but doesn't deal with all the political front. yes and that's also a center point because the elections as far as we know are free and fair in hungary that has hasn't been any reports after approach in elections are crucial to his victory he always points to electoral weak stories and he hasn't lost any election since basically 2006 in this country so ever since 2006 he wants every single election obviously certain municipalities but in general he won every single election since 2006 he at this party and that's what he points to that he has the popular support so he can fight more and more of his battles and because he lost

the major city with the only real major city in hungary at the last mayoral elections that must have played a role in raising the process that has been going going to be in this web site since basically 2014 and ever has been for being the government had more and more in direct control over the ownership of this web site and now it has just reached the tipping point and that's why all the journalists. have quit their job and it's very very on certain what they what they would be doing next the journalists and what they would have to meet the back side but based on previous examples of other independent websites the newspapers that are both by people close to the government will probably become a pro-government web site basically saying the same thing that the government's

official ok does happen thanks for joining us from edmonton canada thank you thank you very much. countries across south asia are enduring some of the heaviest monsoon rainfall in years in bangladesh flood waters breach some bank walls built to protect villages or the country's underwater weeks of tarantula read of also lead to flooding and landslides in india and nepal. well let's join jenny now for a look at the weather and so the hurricane season right behind you right behind me and this is actually the 1st name tarakan of the antic season actually so this this system which i'll talk about in just a movie is called hurricane hanna but before then i'm going to talk about this this is actually tropical storm gonzalo now this is you can see is on its way through the southern winwood islands heading across these northern areas of venezuela this is actually going to lose a lot of its strength really quite quickly so in the next 24 hours right now winds at about 65 kilometers an hour gusting stronger than that on the rainfall 50 to 125 millimeters of rain this does mean of course there is the real threat in danger of

landslides or mudslides certainly into the southern when would i as we look at this through sunday and then it disappears simply because poland it is no longer a tropical storm that's later in the day on sunday and at that point it becomes a tropical depression so from there going to head across tools the gulf of mexico and this is why this is this massive cloud this is actually now hurricane hanna is that that means the winds of course are hurricane strength now for the last 24 hours or so preparations being well underway into the southern areas of texas the sandbags have been filled some people calls have also left the area this is the forecast track you can see all this huge amount of rain impact to not just texas but also up into louisiana there are hurricane warnings in place and right now the winds at about 130 kilometers an hour those are the sustained winds so the customer stronger than that the storm surge is quite a feature hey it could be as much as one and a half meters that of course is when these hurricane force winds really just force all the water the sea water rise inland up to a meter and a half and then the amount of rain we could see in some areas 450 millimeters of

rain and as we go through sunday this store. will work its way into the southwest of texas into northern areas of mexico and there's a real threats here not just of flooding but also flash floods and mudslides particularly say into northern areas of mexico so we need to watch this very closely indeed not looking great but thanks jenny thank you now the top u.s. hell they jency has issued guidelines calling for the fall reopening of schools in september even though quote a virus infections are rising in many areas the centers for disease control insist it is safe for children to return to class saying it's unlikely they'll contract or transmit the virus rob runnels as well. as covert billie jean continues to surge in parts of the u.s. the debate over how and when to send children and teachers back to school has taken center stage. president donald trump wants schools to reopen for in person lessons in the coming weeks even if various transmission inflator studies come out so let's

say we believe that students should be going back to school because the effect on a child we know scientifically they are not affected in the same way as an adult drug not true says dr anthony thoughts of the national institutes of health i think we still need to learn a lot about children you know elementary school children getting infected what the percentage of their infection is and whether the either spread or not efficiently to adults has happened i says there's new data indicating older children may be efficient spreaders of covert 19 who could give the disease to their teachers parents grandparents and others were his children 10 to 19 appear to be spreading infection to adults as equally as well as adults spread to adults yet there's still

a lot to learn about what the prevalence and incidence of infection is in children and as a group do they spread do they get any bodies what's the in family spread or not just weeks ago the country's top public health institution the centers for disease control issued a cautious set of guidelines on school reopening those guidelines were criticized by trump who said they were too restrictive. now the c.d.c. has made an abrupt about face with new guidelines saying it is critically important for public health to reopen schools a group of 150 eminent public health experts many of them from the country's top universities published an open letter this week urging political leaders to shut down the country again now and start over. they say all non-essential businesses should close people should stay home and mask wearing should be mandatory if you

don't take these actions the letter says the consequences will be measured in widespread suffering and death rob reynolds al-jazeera well still ahead on the news a midnight curfew since spain we have the latest on yet more coronavirus restrictions also. potentially my life expectancy shortening every day to day basis and carries . warnings of the millions who are missing out on important cancer screenings because of the coronavirus pandemic and in sports how it change of plans africa's 1st of all a big event may shatter the dreams of many young athletes. an image can change the way we see the womb if we had not seen that. it can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created longing for

a full opportunity that can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story. and the talking points are pretty intense if it can forge narratives or rewrite from the listening post gives you the full picture. incarcerated. in russia's toughest prisons stripped off their liberties. and unexpected creative opportunities. a singing contest like no other offers a chance of redemption and hope for the toilet if you. leave prison life inside and out a tale of fingers and murderers on al-jazeera. oh

. welcome back you're watching the algerian news are with me said the reminder of our top news stories staff at the u.s. consulate in chengdu china a packing up and getting ready to leave after beijing ordered its closure it's in response to the u.s. ordering the closure of china's consulate in houston texas the u.s. military has released what it says is proof that russia is violating a u.n. arms embargo in libya the pentagon claims the satellite pictures show military equipment supplied by russian mercenaries the u.s. says russia is boosting support for the war khalifa haftar. and the u.s. health agency has issued guidelines holding for the full reopening of schools in september even as prone to virus infections rise in many areas the centers for disease control says it's safe for children to return. only 40 countries have

reported record daily numbers of infections in the past week australia belgium and israel are amongst those saying what they fear is a 2nd wave unprecedented daily creases were seen in 37 countries from 20 last week and 13 the week before the us has confirmed the highest number of cases more than 4000000 infections and 145000 deaths. nightclubs disco event halls are being closed down again in barcelona elsewhere across the spanish region of catalonia there will be more than 280 new outbreaks across the country than factions tripling in the past 2 weeks a midnight curfew has been imposed on catalonians bars restaurants and casinos the world health organization says europe needs to better coordinate its response. what we're really trying to get here is move from as i said before using

a very big hammer to trying to be more precise and what we're doing instead of restricting everyone we try and go after the virus and we try and identify where the virus is and then specifically and surgically in a sense excised the virus from the community by minimizing the impact on the lives and livelihoods of the community by focusing in on cases and contacts and investigation so countries coming out of lockdown even countries with lower levels of disease will experience potential cases and clusters of disease let's go over to the broadcast center correspondence on your study by the i mean there's always been concerned about that 2nd wave when if it may come spain saw a reemergence in the catalonia area earlier this month and others real concern. yes and it hasn't really gone back either because that 2nd wave seems to be overtaking the region of catalonia which is of prime concern also the neighboring

region of arab gone in particular even had belgium banning its travelers from going belgian travelers from going to west sky in at argonne and yea there the city that was primarily the 1st eruption of the of of the reemergence of cove it in the region alongside with that you have norway also now imposing a 10 day quarantine on people who have traveled back from spain and also france now people not to travel there and has requested the spanish government to try drastically reduce the amount of traffic going between its borders of course france there are many tourists from france who do travel to spain and with also a slightly rising uptick in cases in france there as well the worry is of course that the going to be more brutal waves of kobe that could follow if it's not

contained and if it's not really kept down with that in mind of course that the it's the summer season in spain and really the lockdowns have come down people have resumed practically normal activities there in terms of socialising one of the major causes of concern is what is the way in which people have done the informal sort of parties and gatherings that are allowed there where mainly young people sort of gather with drinks that they bought and congregate there and that's also sort of a cause of consent trying to clamp down on that as possible cases for possible cases to flourish but the main issue here is the fact that this is the season where spain's agriculture collecting the harvesting comes into its fall for its fruit and vegetables you have many undocumented workers temporary workers. that come from north africa and sub-saharan africa they are often living during this time in very unsanitary cramped conditions sometimes they're even sleeping in the open air as

well this is an extreme cause of concern because it's leaving a vulnerable group of people essentially with no documents an incredibly hard group of people to track and trace if any of them test positive for the virus as well this was the issue that started off the outbreak in you that earlier this year and this is a worry that as other seasons of fruit picking develop in other regions as well that this could also follow with further outbreaks across the country so house in london thanks for the update he says its core protein with its neighbors over how quickly to fill its ground reservoir egypt and sudan downstream remain worried that the dam will cut off vital water supplies and he opened a foreign ministry spokesman also reiterated that ethiopia rejects any binding agreements. technical you're going to. take nuclear we could have filled the dam

in 3 years especially during the seasons of heavy rains but we cancelled the 3 year period in response to the concerns of the downstream countries and we agreed to fill the dam in 4 to 7 years now they started with new demands for sitting near new quotas and they also added binding agreements to the matters that we agree about should be general and non-binding agreements and we negotiate them according to their importance over the last 2 years a specialist on international water law was a member of sudan's negotiating team he says ethiopia has been taking part in good faith. since the beginning when i left this fight in 2000 and let me. think with visions as british the world is but a section of the dam before any oil negotiations are continuing this is number one number oh yeah outcome of the negotiations this will be at so it should not be binding plus you'll hear and this had a point that's what are so then we should not complain or if west a great question of this year has already started as

a cross-section of the done before telling school burn and thinking. that it is unfair when defense let what is happening right now. in a nutshell. it's dealing with. a look as an international event shared by the city and not to a lake in africa which is a lifeline for tens of thousands of fishermen farmers and their families in sudan it's known as lake newbie a neighboring egypt lake nasr it forms the manmade reservoir for the last one dumb but more to levels for the time and ethiopia's confirmation stand have many of what has many worried for their livelihood 7 morgan reports now from big nuclear. just after sunrise every day hussein jaffer and his crew start their boats engine and their day's work fishing has been his livelihood for nearly 20 years catching tiger

fish and wiring d. from lake new bia helps feed his family of 7 but the fish have been increasingly difficult to find for the past 3 years. several have this like is what feeds us me and hundreds of other fisherman when the water rises it becomes very hard to catch fish because they're not concentrated in the like there's more water for them and the like has been increasing the gates of the high dam haven't been opened leading o.b.l. was manmade 50 years ago by filling the reservoir of egypt's high dam on the river nile 80 percent of the water is in egypt and it's known there as lake nasser named after the former president 20 percent of the lake is in sudan's territory and thousands of family rely on it they're concerned about the lakes future and also what's happening in neighboring ethiopia where africa's largest hydroelectric dam is nearing completion. the lake here relies on 2 sources the water flowing in from them in the south and the amount of water released by the egyptian aswan high dam

in the north there is a for everything appears new dam has the capacity to hold more than the water of the blue nile the main contributor to the nile now and if the o.p.'s thoughts feeling it's them what the levels downstream will reduce and when egypt opens the gates of its high dam the size of this lake will diminish significantly so the nice people here say the gates of the high dam haven't been opened for 3 years that's aimed at preserving as much water as possible in the leg while negotiations over how if you will operate continue while fishermen say less water is better for them those relying on the lake for other reasons such as farming have a different view. we used to need 3 or 4 and looked like water pumps to be able to get water from the like to our farms and we use only one i've learned that have been flooded by water but we keep expanding our farms so an increase means for us in a retreat in the like means more fertile land. becomes available but we may face challenges in getting it irrigates. the lake is also facing another threat climate change well

. we've seen changes in the lake and areas around it already some parts of dried up due to climate change and there are now fertile lands for farming but there are parts where the water from the reservoir floods farm lands that already exist and destroys the crops of farmers so there needs to be an understanding between farmers on the southern part of the reservoir and the authorities controlling the dam so that it ends up a win win situation for all a situation that can guarantee that the livelihoods of those relying on the lake isn't disrupted both in sudan and neighboring egypt he will more going on to their own northern sudan. some of the largest up to government protests to guess in russia well into the 3rd week the arrest of the governor of cabral screech and in the far east spots protesters anger which shows a sign of subsiding. reports was these protests are a problem for president vladimir putin demonstrators in the city of combat ups have

marched every day for more than 2 weeks to mending the governor of the region serger for go his release from prison the businessman turned politician was arrested on july the 9th and flown to moscow he is accused in the murder of business right last 15 years ago charges he denies was. this city in russia's far year the border with china is more than 6000 kilometers from moscow but now it's turned into an unexpected hub of anti-government protests was people often i think people are marching out on the streets because they vote to elect the governor in the 2018 election has been taken away for gold supporters say the accusations are politically motivated another yellow russia we've had enough we elected the governor we want to be heard and decide a selves what to do with him bring him here for a fat and open trial and we'll decide whether to convict him or not sure which.
