before i would never in a restaurant after say this is great earthrise feeding the 1000000000 on a jersey. al-jazeera . hello i'm adrian for get this live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the highest profile arrest yet on the hong kong's controversial security law media tycoon jimmy lie is accused of colluding with foreign forces. a washington court issues a summons against saudi's crown prince following claims he ordered the hit squad to kill an intelligence agent in canada. a minister resigns in lebanon over

last week's beirut explosion as anger grows the prime minister is considering early elections and this technology used. the worst idea to find people of color facing wrongful arrest who look at how the use of facial recognition software impacts black asian native american people in the u.s. . and in sport golf looks to have a superstar in the making and only his 2nd appearance at a major championship all the marquis power has won the u.s. p.g.a. championship. police in hong kong have made the highest profile arrest yes under a controversial national security law imposed by beijing media tycoon and activist jimmy lie is among 9 people detained on monday in an executive an executive in lies

media group says that he's been held on suspicion of colluding with foreign powers let's go live now to hong kong to syria sara clock is there sara what's the latest . the latest is we've had a sweeping police operation on monday as you mention the most high profile arrest today has been jimmy long. i mean the 9 arrests so far we do believe that a search is potentially still underway at the apple daily headquarters but 7 of those arrested on monday are linked to the apple daily media outlet that this media organization is well known for being a pro-democracy tabloid and jimmy lai he's the founder of this organization that he's well known also of being a critical of the china chinese communist party he's also been active on the pro-democracy front he's been part of a number of the demonstrations we saw over the last year or so and he faces charges now of collusion with a foreign force and we also know 2 of his sons have also been arrested i don't work for apple daily but we believe their arrests or them being held in custody as part

of a wider investigation into some of jimmy lies assets but we've had about 200 police at the apple deli hit porters all day other people who've been arrested are senior executives the c.f.o. the chief financial officer as well as the chief executive officer they've also been detained now the police have also said that they expect more arrests to come but all of these people are under suspicion of violating the national security law and one of the line is is that businesses as usual. well at this stage most of the people who study the stuff we saw today there were cordoned off they had their identities checked so we do believe that might come to a standstill at some stage of the next 24 hours they were doing a live feed as those arrests were being made but as for jimmy life he faces a number of charges on different fronts he's appearing in court he was arrested early this year in 50 for his role in a legal simply last year he was also arrested last month for being involved in what the last couple of months were being involved for the chinaman square anniversary

but these particular charges which could be laid which were guts of these arrests they are much tougher these are the national security law which targets acts of subversion terrorism of foreign interference and suspicion and some of these acts quitting could lifetime imprisonment as a result mr lott has previously said that he does expect to be targeted under these laws and the state media or the global times which is the chinese run media they have said that they have mainland experts that believe there is evidence 3 jimmy lives tweets that show he's breached the national security laws are certainly a sweeping operation in hong kong on monday with at least 9 arrests so far are serious or a clock reporting live from hong kong sara many thanks indeed let's bring in stephen finds a political commentator and author based in hong kong stephen the press freedom in hong kong di it is one of your fellow veteran commentators put it do you agree it's not an unreasonable description i mean when you go to the beasts.

and as they do you remember the women. so everybody could see what was happening on strict procedures that we are taking which is that it's it's one of the biggest can all calm and the only ones support the opposition they wanted to make the point i don't think there's any doubt about this you don't get that level of happiness a teacher rate if you don't want to send a chilling signal to the rest of the media and in case that of any doubt at least briefing after the initial rai but the priest excluded media who they said not being cooperated with the police in the past we've never seen this in our gulf war normally a press conference is a press conference is open to the media this again is another new thing that happened today to talk about the message of beijing is looking to censor the media what is that message i think the message is very clear it's we don't like

dissident opinions the reporting of the news should be in line with the narrative that is expounded by beijing the space for criticism in hong kong as narrow very considerably you're are so it's like a moment ago whether the paper they are the daily is still operating when it is how long that will be we don't know i mean the rest of the media is more or less under control so presumably they will continue to operate but every level in the schools in the university is in the media there is this crackdown going on and this is within just over a month since the national security laws introduced it's been an escalation of a clamp down at the speed that even the most pessimistic people didn't expect would happen what do you think will happen now to jimmy lie. i think there are a number of very alarming possibilities remember under this law 1st of all suspects

aren't allowed automatically to have exactly don't get from granted bail secondly and this is the most terrifying prospect because chinese sources are saying that the fence is a very great they previously said that that may well mean a trial and then detention of course on the mainland now because if you go to a chinese court and you're a cruise of a crime you're guilty there's practically nobody appears in front of the chinese judge who was acquitted so you can be sure that if that court hearing occurs it may or may not be in public it will certainly be very grieved and the outcome is a fold on conclusion i think jimmy lie and some of his associates may well be facing a very long time in jail good to talk to saving many thanks indeed stephen vines there live in hong kong china has imposed sanctions on 11 well known americans including senators marco rubio and ted cruz that reciprocates here as action

because of trying to crackdown in hong kong the u.s. has frozen the american assets of hong kong's chief executive kerry lamb as well as 10 senior chinese officials. a u.s. court has issued a summons against the saudi crown prince in relation to former intelligence agent saad jobbery the court order also covers 13 other people including residents of the us side of jobbery filed a lawsuit accusing saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon of sending it hit squad to kill him 2 years ago he's now in canada where police and private security guards are reported to be giving him increased protection a speak to. foggy who is in london he's a saudi dissident and the head of the movement for reform in saudi arabia what do you make of this this lawsuit and this summons for the crown prince to appear.

this is extremely significant it means that the case has crossed the barrier opportunistic sion and under immunity there's not a unity for bills for the man and also the cases and the 16 of american law so and then it also gives evidence that the case is moving very fast and that would be a very short time for them. to move and now he is in big trouble and the only way to clear land it is to. jump to the throne to enter to an immunity. that about which we expect in the next few days that he will consider really to decide that i've got his father who has disappeared for last 8 days i really is a lie and he abdicated and appointed him as a can all he admits that his father has died and he declares himself as a king so this is the only way for him to get from it otherwise it will be extremely weak position the rest of the royal family will be brave enough to move

against him ok i should add that it's not a solace for him to appear it's a summons for him to have to acknowledge that the court case against him the court order covers 13 other people who are they. i don't have all the names but apparently we're going to find he was very very famous person not being close to him in the case of gentleman's medal a scout is 2nd was used to be they'd built his personal courts. and 2 others who are all probably the same names in the case of question. and 2 of the all the persons are in our residence of the united states and that will be. dangerous for them if those people appeal to give some statements they will open the gate of would be what you call can of forms and then. further evidence and

documents would complicate the case for and as far as a court order is concerned the crown prince is just going to ring or it is me. he can do anything other than ignoring it. or what will he do if the kiss moves and more documents on more evidence comes that will be just more confirmation that he was involved and the real crime which haven't on the united states and canada and i too will deprive him of the protection of. donald trump mr thomas always protect them all the way through and through all his battles including chickies and trying being preventing him still for elections he do not want to associate himself with somebody who is being being followed by or being. seen as. having problems in american courts so.

even even if he is very keen to protect his son and this is the way it is time for him to protect him and when he removes serious protection and there is a huge chance for the rest of the royal family to move around. and do something against him good to talk to so many thanks dave. in london. this is the news are from al jazeera still to come on the program attacked on safari the french president announces the killing of aid workers in asia. $3000.00 arrests in belarus we have the latest reaction to the presidential election that the opposition says was raked. in support a rookie mistake from the player who had a night to forget it major league baseball far away with that for the rest of the days and italy's.

lebanon's cabinet is due to meet in the next few hours to discuss possible early elections anger at the government has been boiling over after the explosion in beirut last week that been 2 days of violent protests in the capital with more planned 158 people died in the blast 21 people are still missing the army says there's little hope of finding any more survivors or protests to say they want a complete overhaul of the political system 3 government ministers have responded to public pressure and resigned justice minister barak lord is the latest to go following environment minister danny on us that information minister abdul samad 9 m.p.'s have quit parliament. this is the point of no return people are starving the economy has deteriorated the economic crisis is heightening

our families children friends have just been left behind fear and disappointments lives within them in this fateful moments we cannot just sit behind we have to stand in dignity together as a nation i feel that i need to send an apology to the lebanese people because we failed to achieve their ambitions due to the difficulties i was there as they know how to joins us now live from inside a hospital in beirut before we talk about what you're seeing there are in that hospital. tell us about the significance of the the resignation of the justice minister following hot on the heels of the environment minister and information minister. yes 2 ministers resigned yesterday a short while ago a 3rd minister the government really is is in deep trouble because ministers feel that they have let down the people so now we understand in the next 2 hours cabinet is going to meet at the government palace and it is very likely that it will resign

happen it was scheduled to meet in the presidential palace moving it to the government palace really is an indication that a resignation announcement could be made now levanon now is that if indeed that happens there's 2 ways forward 1st there could be political paralysis because the president will have to call for parliamentary consultations with different parliamentary blocs who have who really don't agree with each other will have to name a new prime minister this is a process the take weeks or months and in the interim the country could be further paralyzed caretaker government that cannot take any decision but there is another road that can be taken and that is a deal and some do believe that when the french president was here a few days ago he did talk about a political initiative and the french president was just not talking on behalf of france but the international community many different sources have told us that

there could be a possibility of a national unity government the different political parties in the opposition in the governing alliance coming together agreeing on a new prime minister who will be acceptable not just to the people but the international community as well because how sandy has government took power in january in the midst of an uprising against the ruling elite it has little credibility at home it is also considered one sided because it is controlled by the hezbollah led alliance and many people feel that hezbollah has presence in the government. it is one of the reasons why lebanon has been so isolated from the international community so in the next 2 hours it will be really a decisive moment in lebanon history where is the country going are we going to see political instability which could mean unrest or are we going to see a deal that will bring the different factions together and move the country forward

but you ask me will this satisfy the street well if the same political parties are back in power you know people will feel that you know their demands have not been met they want a overhaul of the political system but everyone knows how difficult it is to go through a democratic transition that takes time it doesn't happen overnight ok so your hospital they would without you showing us a road i can see already see behind you that blast damage. yes that blast that massive blast the story that many areas in in the lebanese capital but the hospitals as well 3 hospitals were were damaged destroyed patients evacuated in this in the streets just moments after after the blast the emergency room of this hospital is right that we hospital this toyed and they're struggling the management told us that they're struggling to be able to rebuild because

already private hospitals were old billions of dollars from the lebanese government 85 percent of the health care system in levanon is the private hospital sector and they were they were suffering because of the lack of money they were laying off nurses they were laying off doctors before this blast so now they're already in a very difficult position and that's why they need so much emergency aid the international community came together they pledged millions of dollars to help levanon rebuild after this blast but what the international community didn't do is . provide economic aid in order for the government to kickstart the economy the international community stood by the lebanese people and not the lebanese government and many many believe that the international community really has played a very big role in putting pressure on those in power telling them that they need to make some change because without international pressure it is highly unlikely

that the ruling elite will agree to political change because the opposition cannot do anything you cannot push for political change through state institutions because the presidency the government and the parliament is in the hands of the governing alliance i was there as a 100 reporting live there from inside a hospital in beirut many thanks indeed miss zeno was saying that france's president to many call as a video conference of international donors to get aid to lebanon as quickly as possible they pledged almost 300000000 dollars to help the recovery but a demanding transparency about how the money is used to serious but it smith reports. here there are all the skills the talent and the enthusiasm this is this this is the nasa. that has been issued yesterday but these people will not be able to rebuild beirut on their own we have an engineering team i do not think team

working in sync together we sent scouts on little school tours and their job is to basically go and examine a building and say hey this structure is no longer safe to enter they're doing all this because the government isn't. food is given out to people who never have to ask for handouts in their life. volunteers are given a safety briefing before heading out with a cleanup team because there are hundreds of these camps across beirut hastily set up in the shadows of the buildings ripped open by choose days explosion of 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port for international donors one of the hardest questions is how do they get aid to people who want to get off the top when they have to deal with a political elite that's been doing exactly that for decades really the lebanese authorities now have to put in place the political and economic reforms which are

being called for by the lebanese people it's the only thing which will allow the international community to act efficiently side by side with lebanon in its reconstruction. it could cost up to $50000000000.00 to rebuild beirut says the city's governor its residents want to make sure that money goes 'd where it should the government is a criminal government this is a criminal state. these are people who were. responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the civil war and we're expecting that a few extra bodies is going to make them think that's not going to happen on monday lebanon's prime minister will ask his cabinet to agree to early elections they'd be held within 2 months and lebanon's electoral system candidates must stand to their religious sect it makes it very difficult for nonaffiliated individuals or groups to emerge and that is what these people will tell you is constantly frustrating

that calls for radical political change. al-jazeera beirut. a bomb blast in pakistan's political town province has killed 6 people and injured at least 15 others the explosion targeted a vehicle from anti drugs forces in the city of chum on the border with afghanistan as yet there's been no claim of responsibility an armed group has attacked a shopping center in the democratic republic of congo at least 19 people have been killed the army has been sent to respond to the trouble in the troubled northeastern province of it turi fighters from the political and religious sects known as can deco slashed people with machetes more than 200000 congolese a fled attacks in the province since march. the president of france was denouncing what he calls a cowardly attack which killed 8 people in southern new jet 7 french aid workers and the local guides were touring a west african wildlife reserve in the town of koori when gunmen on motorcycles

a complete overhaul of the political system. in belarus one person has been killed dozens of been hurt him protests following the presidential election which the opposition says was rigged 3000 people have been detained by police early official results show a landslide victory for president alexander lukashenko that would extend his 26 years in power to a $60.00 laura burton manley reports. the sounds in the police to go away and then scenes of violence reflected across belushi's capital. starting a few hours after porthos closed and continuing into the night opposition supporters came out in their thousands to contest the initial election results.

right police blocked the entrance to a large square and fight stun grenades into the crowds and police trucks drove in to protest the. i mean once it's rushed to take the injured into hospital. protesters have put up barricades on to the main roads to prevent police cars from guessing that. earlier in the day they can does it set nona to the mosque that has come out of hiding to costs have that she had left her apartment on the eve of the election fearing a wrath at 1st a reluctant presidential candidate she had grown into the biggest hope many palin missions have for change to enough sky and election rallies attracted the largest crowds by lisa in the decade i was the microphone was. off the coast in his boots president alexander lukashenko called the opposition group yes he did but i'm not sure what you stephanie yes if you're going to go

against our country or even in the smallest way try to plunge the country into chaos and stabilize it you will receive an immediate response from me for decades enjoyed solid support in the former soviet country lately facing criticism for downplaying the covert $900.00 prices and worsening economy criticism that is rapidly growing to the largest practice 26 year rule for some of the most credible reports suggest it looks like a support the country may be well below 10 percent so i think there is a real shot that some some security officials say will not be willing to fire on protesters if that's something that negotiate that warders them to do and we all really hope and pray that he doesn't but even so potentially even go over to the side of the protesters. while the school authorities may have been able to control the opposition using force this time people say and show they have beyond the.

orbit of money and does the. internet service has been caught in belarus al-jazeera stop fast now joins us on the phone from minsk step 3000 people detained by police the opposition saying that the election was rigged or somebody just. yes exactly there were a huge of 5 people and numbers of people. all over last night. the protesters in the capital bench believed was there and to force people to change but also injured people to take into hospitals it was a huge turnout and. anger and frustration because 1 they say these elections are fake it was a big fraud but the opposition leader such an atlanta sky has this morning already also claimed victory as she stands we actually already won these elections

because we overcame all fear and we also have overcome or any difference to politics and that's exactly what's been going on here in baton rouge and the last couple of months people more 'd or have been joining the crowds also the opposition . unprecedented numbers attending rallies because they're not different i needed some good they feel 1 the way the president has handled to cope with 19 crisis they feel was very very bad and also the 5 situation has gone 9 on so people are really involved and you can also see on the streets that these are not activists or just opposition supporters but this is a broad to also population who's really really upset that they're being fooled again by the government al-jazeera stepped off reporting live from minsk many thanks did step let's bring in cut him blood from the center for european policy

analysis she's also on the phone from minsk she's in the fact that the internet is down there good to have you with us katia the opposition that refuses to recognize the official results is there any doubt at all that this was a massively rigged election. yes so they're trying to know the reason they don't want to told i think. 9 9 across the population and down the road is that they selection was not simply. 0 the result of this about a 100 polling stations where on to the press all there probably of all the independent that the their results was believed to be counted on the day and they have completed that picture inside the contest and the main opposition can tend to 5 buy a pin the let slide the picture in those about a 100 polling stations she's getting involved 7560 percent and the incumbent president because santa will kevin about think 10 percent is not simple the opposition says that it wants to hold talks with authorities about the election

will get those talks and the recount but it's too long did. it seems very unlikely the sitting competent president voted down a 2 negotiated we don't position does the trick ignite don't position the cave believe thing in case they capture a cutie he has a very chilling grip on power want to refuse it sticks out the 5 opposition as a legit illegitimate act i should mention about 20 years ago there was a town that pulled the quote from the organization for security town called the rationing in europe to bring mukesh and get together with the opposition at the round table and that failed tyler was big time president look at china has a very low support within society on the race not just pressure from the public across the spectrum for a problem exotic so we have found the situation may be different this time but they hope unfortunately this hope is still very little. rattled do you think the

opposition says it's prepared for a campaign of peaceful change of tolerance a ruse process of the fall from peaceful what happens in the coming days and weeks to think. delta edition hasn't it announced a strategy to prolong temperatures down to think this is what will be helping they built 5 to focus on the legal means on the filing the complaint to the central election commission on the launching complaints with the supremes cool to cool it all on the organized enfolded there is to change day on the 10th part of all that for a question is what can and therefore whatever they they do you they will try to minimize the risk all great repression so it will be very difficult to leave based on i think at the moment sleep is trying to get us not really very weakened by the key test of the week and then to look even the theory goes and i believe that some say the protests on the opposition alone good temperatures though albeit they do make

a much weaker have to take old into consideration the economic situation and della reese. including to everyone that the economics has to change an israeli think them all and it's going downhill so the pressure from the opposition frauds the economic situation going downhill will make the opposition also look at center very weak and in the coming months good time to catch the many thanks d's cut to club from the center for european policy analysis. pakistan's government is lifting partial lockdown versions that forced since march as part of its coronavirus response well the number of confirmed infections and solon in recent weeks it's field but official figures could be an accuracy of 0 saying this rather reports from karate. summer rain storms in pakistan's most populous city did a better job of keeping most people indoors than the partial lockdown being lifted

this week. the port city of karachi has been the hardest hit by the corona virus the government says infection rates have dropped nationwide and it's safe to resume public life but not everyone agrees result on a bill simon is a teacher when they called 900 outbreak closed schools he began a free service to supply coronavirus patients with oxygen cylinders to help them bleed. reality. exist at extreme level in pakistan pakistani community population of pakistan the people are not taking it seriously right that they are not taking it at that reality. he normally has dozens of tanks but in the last week they've all been sent out he's down to his last to a sign he says that people are still getting sick and it's too soon to lift the lockdown but months into the crisis even partial restrictions on public life seem impossible to enforce and easy to ignore the government push to ease restrictions

is politically popular i want to normally go here and people whose livelihoods have suffered say it's also necessary you know no honest. measures taken because of the coronavirus have completely shut down business i don't have the words to explain how much loss there has been for poor people it's been devastating it's a view many customers share but they caught me off countries video didn't you see we are from a country everything depends on the economy. i agree that they could do not so attract but if you take precautions along with couldn't i think the economy should open and we should allow people to look during recent public holidays precautions were not a priority and now people are gearing up for another major public event the country's independence day markets like this are all over the country pakistan's government says for the sake of your economy it's important to give them a better response health experts are concerned crowded public areas where people are not worrying about where there is no social distancing these are the perfect

places for the virus to thrive pakistanis are quick to say years of hard living has made them more resilient to the virus than most but there is also the fact that there are too few tests and too many people and with so many taking the threat lightly medical experts say the real number of covert 1000 infections is likely much higher than official tally. corruption. the official number of corona virus infections in the u.s. is now past 5000000 there is concern though the true figure could be much higher health officials are urging the use of face masks and social distancing this was the scene in south dakota over the weekend around 400000 people gathered at the start of a 10 day motorcycle rally in the city of sturgis zero's mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . well at the moment it's mainly in the midwest of the united states at least 14 states are showing increasing rates up infection california is particularly hard

hit and compounding the problem in california is the fact that the system of testing has basically broken down the data flow to central agencies to be able to track the pace of the infection the corona virus has actually not working at the moment so this is a major issue because of the infection rates are continuing to rise in california but health officials are just unable to actually track the path of the virus because of this delay one bright spot is new york state which has now recorded the lowest rate of infection in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic it's damned well below one percent now but generally across the united states there is still an uptick in the rates of infection in many areas now some are arguing that because the spiking really takes place mainly in the outdoors then chances of infection drop a little however officials also point out that the real danger is the day when

people gather in bars or around campfires that there could well be a spread of the infection but this is what has been happening in a number of states and it accounts for the fact that the rates of infection are increasing in number of states opened up too early and number of states do not imports of mask mandate a number of states have dropped mitigating measures completely and as a result you're seeing this up tick in in the rates of infection it's been more than 2 months since the killing of george floyd at the hands of police in the united states and those protests continue the message is no longer just about specific instances of violence but about what demonstrators say is systemic racism and policing one of the most obvious examples is the widespread use of facial recognition systems that have been proven to misidentify people of color and officer assure her returns of course. when black lives matter activists take to the streets that clip they're not protesting against

a few bad apples in police departments but a system of policing that's wittingly or unwittingly targets people of color and they say needs to be completely overhauled the widespread use of facial recognition software by police forces apparently unconcerned by the technologies in accuracy is a clear example of this robert williams was interrogated having been arrested and taken into custody by detroit police the day before and it soon became clear he had been mis identified a look i said not us not me. he tells another paper always say i guess this is not julian. i picked that paper up and hold it and they said this is not me and i hope ya don't think all black people look alike and then he says the computer says you study after study including a federal government report last year has shown facial recognition software mis identifies black native american and asian faces $10.00 to $100.00 times more often

than white faces understand this technology is. worse i didn't find people are still using it. he gets it wrong 96 percent and there's also the fact they were using this technology for over a year and a half. implementation because the officers who interrogated williams mentioned a computer how to identify him we know in accurate facial recognition software and callous police work what to blame for his arrest but there are no nationwide records about how often people are wrongly arrested as a result of recognition software even though according to the american civil liberties union the software has been used hundreds of thousands of times by the f.b.i. for example we do know from. the detroit police forces records that this software proven to be unreliable in identifying african-americans is overwhelmingly used on

african-americans facial recognition software has been used 70 times as of june 22nd by the department in 68 of those cases the photo was of a black person taken from social media or security cameras and. you know why don't you get arrested. because. they have my girls out there and seen that that was you know their 1st interaction with the police and for that to be what it was and then taking their dad like i'm going to wonder now how much did this affect the civil liberties groups are calling for bonds at the federal and local level of the use of such software in a cedar tree is. here recently emerged from a there's no justifiable reason that you should still be in. technology when you. see the police's

use of technology that has been proven to misidentify black people is just another example of why so many have mobilized not to reform the police but to restructure policing entirely even when there are multiple empirical studies proving race discrimination in software that is routinely used some police departments as still reluctant to change. al-jazeera. egypt's government has extended the detention of al-jazeera journalist mark korda saying by $45.00 days he's already been held for more than 3 and a half years without trial after arriving for a possible visit the united nations and al-jazeera have called for an end to his arbitrary detention it's attention on unspecified charges breaches egypt's penal code which sets the maximum pretrial detention at $620.00 days. egyptians head to the polls soon to choose members of a newly formed senate voting begins on tuesday with results to orcus 19th the
