consulate 1st founded in the southwestern chinese city in 1905 chinese state media says stop have until monday morning to take hate the premises beijing blames the u.s. for the escalating tensions and has accused the trumpet ministration of stirring up trouble and anti china sentiment around the world they've waited 2 days in order 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 forced 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 victualling ordered by american officials who say the consulate was

a hub of chinese espionage and accusation beijing denies china ripped off 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 special trade status with the u.s. has been revoked up to china imposed a new security rule and washington has imposed sanctions on chinese officials over the alleged persecution of ethnic muslims then there's the coronavirus president trump has increasingly pointed to china as being responsible for a tactic seen as shifting blame away from what critics say has been his own failed response to the pandemic and finally huawei the chinese telecoms giant accused of posing security threats now banned in the u.s. and person. we are slipping it 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. consulate here in town to close is there will be forward maining on china's mainland but beijing says it won't hesitate to shutdown another should washington to retaliate against chinese missions in the u.s. between e.u. al-jazeera. let's bring it on to sirius and agalloch has live for us in miami and what's the latest on the concert up close and houston a and to what extent do we have to look at this move by the u.s. in the context of november's election. well in diplomatic terms agent pretty dramatic scenes in houston on friday that deadline came around at about 4 pm in the afternoon 40 minutes after that state u.s. state officials moved in prising open locks breaking into that consulate but before all that happened there were some pretty unusual scenes seen in aerial photographs

of consulate staff appearing to burn documents shredding other documents and putting them into bins outside the consulate and then just before the deadline 3 consulate viands seen leaving the scene now as to whether this will play out in the presidential elections in november that seems pretty certain at the moment i remember back in 2016 when donald trump was running for the presidency he used the word china perhaps more than anything else and there was a wide ranging speech by mike pompei o at the nixon library a few days ago and that was really a window into the how 'd the trumpet ministrations going to approach its breaking down relations with china they talked about other countries needing to join in that was a poke there at germany a very disguised one but this isn't a battle of ideologies mike pompei always saying look we are a free people we've been perhaps naive in the past under under other

administrations in tackling china but donald trump as a president will not stand for that so i think that will be very much part of his platform going into november's presidential election on his ears and he got to live for us there in miami many thanks indeed. u.s. federal agents sent to portland by president donald trump again fired tear gas a protest as a made arrests demonstrations have rallied every night 8 weeks now demanding racial equality and police reform leaders in oregon state say the agents are only making things worse later hotting reports. 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 was the federal agents who responded with tear gas was the was like it was it was how he was there was that. organ state officials opposed federal law enforcement in portland they say federal agents in riot gear only making the situation worse. than. the rebirth of the. guard for the protests across the u.s. began in may after the police killing of unarmed black american george floyd. trump 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 police department that has the strong backing of city leaders. as well as the tear gas fired during the latest unrest in portland peaceful protesters released balloons and bubbles. the. more protests are expected the a hearty al jazeera. let's picture you are williams and some paul in minnesota he's the university chair and distinguished professor of history at the university of thomas good to have you with us professor a u.s. judge just tonight an order to sort by oregon to limit federal agents powers jury in the process what is you what is your take on what's happening important right now. i think what's happening in portland right now is very disturbing to many

primarily because it is an overreach by the federal government to involve itself in local politics this is unprecedented in american history typically when you have a situation like this where local authorities are overwhelmed or cannot conduct the business of the state they reach out to the federal government for assistance in this case you have the federal government the trumpet ministration actually deploying federal agencies federal law enforcement agencies to states and cities where the president has deemed the little of the worries incompetent to deal with this threat but it's also very much politicized so there is a great deal of consternation about what for most people 'd is an unconstitutional measure taken on by the federal government to involve itself in local affairs so is what we're saying here the trumpet ministration exhibiting signs of authoritarianism. and you talk about the political politicize ational of this as

the election approaches and if and if it is the case how concerned should people be . people should be very concerned adrian i think part of the challenge here is that we have a situation here in the united states with murder to exploit were black clouds american testers were again making the case that the federal government and the states needed to do something with police brutality in streets present from politicized that message by arguing that calls for the fun police were really fairly the old attempts to undermine the state and he's politicized an issue really which at its core was about democratic values and not about alternately what the president's hope to do by saying it's weak democratic mayors cities that are controlled by democrats that can't control their populace and so he's trying to take attention away from the protesters and their central message but at the same time he's trying to do this in score political points with his base which obviously support this idea that we don't need to defund police we simply need more police but what you hear from the protesters important in chicago

a city says that's exactly the opposite of what we need right now we need more in lightened and strategic always to think about policing in these communities so we've had 8 weeks of protests in portland how do they and it's not as if that the federal agents can come back down the administration will want to look as though it's lost to the protesters. well what the trumpet ministration unfortunately has done adrian is created a ugly game here where there's really only one way that this can be resolved and that is for the federal troops are federal agents who are now acting in the capacity of police 'd in these localities to yield the streets in the u.n. control that the local officials the challenge here is that we know the trump of ministration president trump in particular is not capable of doing that he will not do anything that will make him appear to be weak and so we know that this is going to be standoff and alternately it may result in an escalation i.d.'s the recent

tensions in the cities you already see protesters gearing up and saying that and they see this is an additional affront to the issues they were already post protesting about terms of police brutality in terms of lack of resources and in health disparities related to racial injustice the united states and racial equality the trumpet ministration unfortunately 'd has exacerbated these concerns and ultimately done so in a moment where the nation really needs to be focused on a response to that will be endemic we're all facing with regard to. really get to talk to so many thanks indeed you know to williams that and support myself. this is the news are from al-jazeera still to come on the program. in russia's far east protests show a public crack in support for president vladimir putin. somalia's prime minister is out of a job we'll tell you why a panel of voted to have him removed. and later installed the moto g.p.

world champion set to miss a race through injury to the 1st time in almost a decade. 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 that these satellite pictures show russian military equipment being used on the frontlines of the conflict these include fighter jets ed offense systems and armored vehicles the u.s. says that russia is boosting support for warlords after al jazeera is marked traina reports now from misrata. we've been seeing recently after his forces building up reinforcing their positions in sirte and the jinn a 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 drop 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 and 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 there creating a working group to sort of deescalate the situation. and at the same time on monday president donald trump and president sisi are discussing 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 the president says he 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. is a defense analyst and austria's for defense attash in libya he says that russia most likely working on a deal that would safeguard the interests in syria. i would say they delivered if i had the chance fits perfectly into the russians to the interest to be productively via their interests i mean we permit use of the cheek by the few this means the interested in gaining a foothold in eastern libya in france that in establishing a navy based meeting both look for the aircraft carrier which is the far too big to be hard at the syria and the fight that ships very limited in may but these are not used to intervene in the betting politically and this is a strong indication that that was and needs to lose some kind of understanding pass it understanding between russia and turkey in the background need if. the areas of

interest in libya so it could well be that behind the scenes russia and turkey are discussing about something like call mom agreement if our aviation the areas of interest like that they did in syria israel has launched airstrikes on syrian military targets the army says that it's in retaliation for mortars being fired towards the israeli occupied golan heights tensions been high after a hezbollah fighter was killed in this ready strike near damascus on monday the lebanese group is backed by iran and has forces deployed in syria in support of president bashar al assad somalia's parliament says voted to remove from minister hassan ali kaya has been growing criticism of a k.s. handling of security the vote comes during a dispute with regional leaders over the timing of a national election due to take place early next year of the one god as a political analysts who is conducting doctoral research in security and state

building in somalia at the university of birmingham in the u.k. good to have you with us why has voted to remove the prime minister what's going on here. i think it's a bit of a critical. looking for fall for what has been quitting on indoor summer for last week. and it's seems that. there is a political consensus between villa somalia the opposition parties in mogadishu there are gay sions the. bribery bring some of the m.p.'s around to making this decision. and also talk of a falling out between the president of the prime minister what we know about. the allegations concerning our primary that was. that was there always in someone's

politics and but there is no way to confirm that. but also also. for the last couple of weeks but the president. the prime minister i'm going to different directions. the reason for that was and those 2 ways. of holding elections next year one was a universal suffrage which was. the way the parliament. once. was a selection based on elders. which in accordance for from the electoral. commission the federal member states and the prime minister i say one has to go for sort that was a 2 way state they went. forward for the following. how the dynamics lead to politics. and initial thoughts so what

happens next the president what has 30 days to choose a new prime minister who's likely to be. it's hard to say but more likely there is one function the parties saying that they want. national unity government prime minister coming from the opposition parties and who so that they will have a say in in the upcoming formulation or of the election another one. which gives the president the mandate and the power to to to select a prime minister so whatever way it goes i don't think it will be for 30 days or so if it were not that is how the constitution is i think it's in need of a. really good structure so many thanks to the. sacking of the editor

of the leading news website in hungary has provoked a mass march by anti-government protestors it follows the mass walkout of journalists in support of the editor is warning that government interference is endangering media freedom al-jazeera is car aleck reports. they came out in their thousands to voice their anger at what they say is the latest silencing of hungry suppress 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 outlets operations to many the dismissal was seen as a government directive and the last rule if telephone for you to do this telephone in the u.s. we called him on the phone and said we would like to initiate the end that we no longer want to work it in takes after this about 60 members of the 90 people on the

staff at the same they also resigned and i ending their work at index. index has long been regarded as hungary's key independent media outlet but it has 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 crowds 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 a 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 leda car leg al-jazeera gay boy is an analyst to hungary and think tank the center for political analysis he says the victory or bans battles with the media a typical of his brand of comedy of politics. he likes clashes he likes battles he will use these combat rhetoric very very often he likes to present

himself as the savior hungary from other organized organizations that write to undermine not just his rule but hungary and well being in general and the hungary and way of life so that's why he's clashing with brussels and n.g.o.s and a lot of other organizations that try to and this is a basic principle of his message that he's doing these clashes and he needs victory after victory so he can claim victory after the brussels. to brussels meetings last week and now he's not going to claim victory because of the show is this is not something that the government is obviously. in an economic way with no official government representatives doing anything but he will use this also as a weak 3 in the long run and this is his goal to win as many battles as he can so

he's not going to be violent by any critics from the math on the on the contrary he's into the big fight those really. some of the largest anti-government protests for years in russia are into the 3rd week the arrest of the governor of a region in the far east spot for which shows no sign of abating. 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 was because 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 fair and open trial and we'll decide whether to convict him or not to which. putin officially fired for go on monday and appointed of replacement fueling further mistrust in the region the president's united russia party isn't popular here the protests reflect anger above many see as out of touch politicians imposing policies from moscow. the

timing of the arrest is also raising questions earlier this month president putin oversaw a controversial vote potentially allowing him to remain in power for another 16 years critics say putin waited until he'd won the vote. before sacking the governor from the opposing liberal democratic party. protests are relatively rare and putin's tightly controlled one shot and the coronavirus pandemic is further complicating the kremlin's response it's not the type of attention putin is looking for but protesters in the city of $600000.00 people say the marches will continue until the governor has released. this so the young algis here. will get a weather update next year on the news of them denied bail a prominent journalist and bob where he says the struggle against corruption must continue as he sent back to prison. the u.s. braces for the 1st horror comes to make landfall since the coronavirus and then it

began on. fire would like to remind everyone who is in quarantine that you should remain in quarantine and in sport how a delay for africa's 1st ever live picket fence will affect the sporting ambitions of many young to say. hello that most of the middle east is wholesome and dr coles to play for this time of year but we've also seen quite a few showers across areas to the north working the way through the eastern end of the black sea but also more in the way of rain across areas of yemen of a slightly more than a 4 calls on sunday and really quite heavy at times in and around santa we could have calls see some flooding here and also fair amount of cloud across western as a soggy this could even generate want to often in thunderstorms damage wise damages are a little bit lower 4442 in doha but the winds are quite light is fading very humid

as we go through the day on sunday them by monday the winds change direction again the actual temperature has increased but it should feel less humid back up to 50 celsius in baghdad meanwhile 40 celsius in doha. still those rains continuing in the far west of yemen so to say we do expect to see some localized floods then down into southern africa plenty of activity through those essential regions and then just getting off the north of madagascar this indeed has not developed into a tropical slike time but barring some very heavy rain on sunday across northern areas those showers continuing down east in size of madagascar one achieves showers along the south coast of south africa so that cool a certainly in the port elizabeth those showers working their way north and east as we go through monday. through central and coastal mozambique. territorial social and ethnic divisions. france has seen some of the

biggest recent protests over black lives matter. al-jazeera world goes to some of its least privileged communities. where treatment by the police is still a contentious issue. paris a divided city on al-jazeera. kidnappings and murders in crimea russia's forced an extension of the black sea financial. i don't understand why. schools of crimea into tong's have been arrested and tortured and killed. most believe by russian security forces in. crimea dark secret on al-jazeera.

it is good to have you with us hello adrian figure here and with the news from al-jazeera the headlines staff at the u.s. consulate in chengdu in china are preparing to leave after beijing ordered its closure and its response the u.s. to ordering rather it its response the u.s. ordering china's consulate in houston texas to be shut down. the u.s. federal agents sent to portland by donald trump again fired tear gas at protesters and made arrests demonstrators have rallied every night for 8 weeks to modern racial equality and police force reform. somalia's politics has voted to remove prime minister haasan ali i hear this pick growing criticism over his handling of

security the vote comes during a dispute over the timing of next year's election. the 40 countries have reported record daily numbers of corona virus infections in the past week straightly a belgium and israel are among nations seeing what they fear is a 2nd wave unprecedented daily increases were seen in 37 countries up 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 discos the vent holes are being closed out again and bus alone and elsewhere across the spanish region of catalonia that been more than 218 you are breaks across the country with the infection rate tripling in the past 2 weeks the world health organization says that europe needs to better coordinate its response. but 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 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. that's. what's going on in cattle. the hiatus which they thought they would have had to be able to open up the country without too much trouble would seem to be coming to a close now as we've seen already a real spike in the numbers there in the past 24 hours almost 1500 new recorded

cases most of those about 70 percent or so recorded within the metropolitan area of the capital of barcelona in catalonia and of course catalonia has been on the front line of these new spikes ever since they came out of lockdown it all began in the city of gay there because it was really. a whole load of of agricultural workers who had come around to start collecting the produce that was that need to be harvested there a lot of them were undocumented a lot of them coming from north african sub-saharan africa living in absolute really pitiful conditions there some of them even living out in the open air because of the lack of documentation is very difficult to be able to track and trace exactly how bad the infection is amongst these groups of workers as well force also with a lot down as well it's also the social aspect too with bars and restaurants and

terraces opening up as well also you have a lot of it spanish and locals are the locals there who will drink in the open air as well something which is tolerated by the governments there but that also seems to be adding on to that to now with this in mind as well of course is also high season in that area especially in catalonia where the sea side areas as well there are also functioning as with tourist resorts as well it's already being seeing it's already being affected quite drastically as well now that you have other countries such as france belgium and norway warning against. that citizens to travel out there as well this is also going to exacerbate that problem but it's also just a sign to see how even how they came out of the lockdown how there was a lot of confidence in that the failure to put in a successful track and trace system and to stop it substantially really seems to have provoked those spikes so really that is something which is being seen as

a tussle a political tussle between the central government in madrid and the regional governments around the country and of course provoking a health crisis a renewal of a health crisis all over again adrian. your reporting from what looks like a dreary miserable saturday here it in looks wet there in london but he thanks saudia the u.s. centers for disease control has issued guidelines calling for the full reopening of schools in september even though corona virus infections are rising in many areas and see insists that it's safe for children to return the class saying 2 plus saying that it's unlikely they'll contract or transmit the virus will brunell's reports. as covert billy 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 fauci 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 they either spread or not efficiently to adults has happened either fauji 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 0. president has signed a law allowing people to withdraw up to 10 percent of their pension savings to help them get by during the pandemic around $11000000.00 people eligible to withdraw up to $5400.00 it's expected to give a short term boost to the economy but some analysts warn that it could cause long term damage to pension funds brazil's president says that he's recovered from covert 19 after testing negative for the virus diable sarno also naro has consistently downplayed the pandemic and dismissed the corona virus as a little flu brazil has the world's 2nd worst outbreak up to the u.s. almost 2 and a half 1000000 infections of more than 85000 deaths have been reported so far.

speak to those of us on the run p.s.u. following developments across the region from colombia's capital bogota and stop there with brazil's president 2 weeks off to testing poses if he appears not to fully recover and. yes adrianne early on saturday both. sent out a tweet having coffee from the presidential palace in brazil yeah and now seeing that he now tests the negative to cope with the 19 weeks after the post tested positive on july 7th in holding in his hand a box cyclo a king at the end tell you my larry a drug that he credits for his recovery this pipe the fact that there is that little scientific every day and its effectiveness and we can expect now

to continue promoting the use of this drug given the fact that he had overall mild the symptoms and we know already that the government brazil has been the in the past 2 weeks to buying big quantities of this drug and the ministry of health which is now run by a military man close to bald so not has been suggested to probably cost beetles that this drug is the way to go in brazil again this spike the fact that there is not a lot of evidence but wilson out of saying this has worked for me has worked for many other people that doctors know that works and so that's what we should use what we can expect now that both are not a. negative is that the dynamic in brazil will continue with him trying to minimize the consequence is that the could be 1000 as had in the country pushing to reopen the economy what he did after to treat to us to go out to embrace the idea

on a motorcycle ride without wearing a mask he did put on a mask a to go inside a stored in brasilia summer what's that what's the latest in colombia and the wider region. yes a day in colombia like many other countries across latin america has seen a big increase in the number of cases and the deaths unfortunately since it had been relaxing of the restrictions that had been put in place back in march and this year believe that we're now going through the worst phase pandemic that will probably continue and till mid august if not until the end. though there are a lot of worries about the health system here but so far it seems like they've been

able to cope with the increase in the hospitality stations and particularly because a number of cities are putting in place a new round of restrictions for example here in the capital. 5000000 of the more than 8000000 people who live here are under strict lockdown rotating 2 weeks long lockdown that will continue throughout much of the other cities have imposed that new restrictions also curfew in a number of cities and the numbers have been going up and not only here in colombia but also central american countries seeing record numbers in the past week and in other countries like in mexico that i've seen a word. in the number of cases a reduction in the number of cases seen numbers going up again. on a sort of i'm here to reporting lots. of the things. a bangladeshi migrant is
