9:00 pm
a little in town here's the like are we telling a good story. we're really interested in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise and to actually feels if you were there . this is al-jazeera. 1800 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera santa maria and this is the news hour tensions are rising further in the mediterranean turkey will now conduct live naval drills as the standoff with greece escalates also 30 journalists rounded up by police while covering more anti-government protests this isn't better roofs a large chemical fire and widespread damage after her laura hits the southern u.s. coast. where not only in iraq. terrorist and locked up with no chance of
9:01 pm
being released a white supremacist who kills 51 muslim worship is in new zealand is sentenced. and installed n.b.a. players looks at returns apply a function on friday on wednesday basketball at a boycott of games in 4 different leagues to protest against the police shooting of wisconsin resident jacob like. so the news from the mediterranean this thursday is that turkey has extended its controversial gas exploration mission and ordered new navy drills as its dispute with greece need to its turkey describes the planned drills as gunnery exercises but says they are related to its standoff with greece of a potential gas and oil reserves both countries have been holding military drills near an area of. sea which they both claim and greece is just ratified
9:02 pm
a maritime agreement with egypt which turkey opposes that there's a lot going on and we've got our team to cover this dominant cane in berlin will update us on the discussions about the developments also we've got cynical c.r.u. . bull but we're suddenly just outside athens for us tonight hi john look 24 hours ago turkey said to greece don't test our patience and i guess this is what they were talking about. yes the deal between greece and egypt greatly the turks because this area of water that's been delimited between greece's southernmost island of crete and egypt northern coast sits exactly across the same patch of water that was delimited last november by turkey and libya in a deal that was denounced by the european union as illegal and by the united states
9:03 pm
as provocative greece's deal with egypt in contrast has been hailed as a paradigm of international maritime legality greece did make serious concessions to get this deal which has been 15 years under negotiation and has suddenly been concluded in the space of a few months it did allow the border across the sea to move a few miles north of the strict line of equidistant between the 2 coasts and it did this because it wanted this maritime deal done and ratified before sitting down to negotiate with turkey greece now feels it's in a position of legal strength to both tomorrow and the turkey agrees to have talks on the basis of international maritime law that it hasn't signed on to and in answer to sign a statement that if the bilateral talks fail which there is a high chance that they will given how diametrically opposed greek and turkish
9:04 pm
views on maritime deal imitation that turkey will agree to vend go to arbitration at the international court of justice at the hague that would adjudicate the matter on the basis of an international maritime law the united nations law of the sea so greece has now got what it wanted legally and diplomatically it has the backing of europe it has a very good agreement and in legal terms with egypt a very good agreement in legal terms with italy moves to 114th. 1000 square kilometers to its commercial so sovereign territory. it now feels that it can ask the international community to reasonably put pressure on turkey to agree to talk on the basis of those 2 agreements and fill out the east in those rainy and . bilaterally demarcated. maritime territory ok thank you for that john psaropoulos is just outside of athens today synonym
9:05 pm
because you are in istanbul as john saying whether turkey will come back to the negotiating side of things is turkey willing to talk given the actions it seems to be taking. well from what we have understood from the talks what we understood is that turkey will not come to a negotiation table as long as the process goes like this come out because when the german chancellor angela merkel asked president don to halt its drilling turkey's drilling operations the systemic operations in the waters turkey said yes and decided to hold everything for 4 weeks for a month but at that time. greece went to egypt and is signed this deal and when you look at the deal this is what the turkish officials have been claiming both greece and egypt actually are losing so if that deal was signed with turkey separately
9:06 pm
they would have earned more this is what turkish officials say but the fact for turkey is that greece is acting alone so for instance when you talk about the agency which is a very problematic area between turkey and greece because of the islands there are thousands of and spreads greece is a continental country not an island country greece claims that each of those islands have individual exclusive economic zones this is what turkey is against for instance the island maze which is just too close to the turkish coast to an atoll in lend but 580 kilometers to the greece greece continent this is a problem this is why turkey reacts against everything because turkey stays greece is not is not willing to share everything fairly but another thing that's the experts have been warning for a long time for turkey the worst scenario was actually a deal between greece and egypt because turkey and egypt have been problematic
9:07 pm
especially if following the coup in 2013 when mohamed morsi went down turkey is problematic with israel so many now argue that turkey also has to have the backing of the other countries but given. constructive messages by the turkish defense minister for instance today that dialogue there is an open door for dialogue but 1st all problems must resort to come to a solution but greece acting this way it seems the military tension is going to rise but will it turn to a mother 3 conflict this is still a question mark because turkey believes that all of the e.u. doesn't completely support greece because greece is seen as a spoiled child and you know after the economic collapse of the country europe suffered financially because they had to help greece and their military wise turkey has the upper hand that's why they believe that you will not allow any conflict
9:08 pm
between the 2 nato allies but when there are 3rd parties involved especially life forms and even the u.a.e. more than the conflict the picture might change a but we haven't heard any reaction about today's tonight's approval from the greek parliament yet ok cynical see a lose in stand well with that side of the story now we've got dominic cain in berlin germany before i come to you i just want to update our viewers on the situation with the european union germany's top diplomat had been calling for an end to turkey and greece is exercises as the really tries to pull them back from a confrontation he spoke at a meeting of e.u. foreign ministers in berlin have a listen. we will see how things develop at the end of this month where the ships will move to and we will also work here to create the conditions for turkey and greece to solve their problems directly with each other and to do everything possible to avoid military confrontation so dominic the germans of the europeans
9:09 pm
as a whole of got their work cut out for them here everything that we heard from from john and cindy and shows that this will be difficult to get through. well it's been a busy few days fika mass is back in berlin but he had been in both capitals in ankara and athens meeting the people who really are involved in the decision making here trying to urge caution trying to urge the ministerial mantra of dialogue and de escalation that's something that was repeated in berlin on thursday by the nato secretary general who is an observer to the e.u. foreign ministers meeting and he again young children by that that is saying that the german mediation idea between the 2 capitals between anchor and athens was the one to be encouraged but you get a sense of quite how difficult things are from what's happened in berlin on wednesday because the defense ministers were meeting and the german defense
9:10 pm
minister and a great cat come out on about was talking to her colleague from the e.u. the high representative is the bottle and they were overheard to juror a photo session a photo call they were overheard talking to each other about how things have been going and mr bell was saying that the greek sides were being very difficult and that the county bar said that that the turkish side of things it was a very hard negotiation going on now the point to make there is that she is suggesting that perhaps anger the machall will speak to president aerator one on the telephone on friday but clearly the german government is hoping to mediate hoping to bring sides together but they're also very clear about how difficult this entire time ask is going to be dominant can wrapping up our coverage on this story from berlin thank you dominic. now developments in belarus to tell you about police have detained about journalists covering another day of protests in minsk about
9:11 pm
a russian president accuse the west of waging a diplomatic war to exploit instability there have been more than 2 weeks of protests there against alexander lukashenko landslide victory in the elections which critics say were a sham on the line for mintz we have journalist bites of itch. tell us what you've heard about i mean 30 journalists being rounded up at once that sounds pretty serious hi good evening yes at the moment actually just in front of the station where. they came today. actually. b for control and from a.b.c. built surveillance and. we can. get to. the. leader of a short period of you know. the peaceful
9:12 pm
demonstrations today tonight once again we sold 'd our 3. taking the the ground to control all the grounds and one of the journalists called a journalist who was detained denied it to me 30 minutes a journalist or even a little print. so he could clearly see the journalists. working probably would be able to pull pull it. off of the presidential election and what about the protesters themselves as well of a. risk of being rounded up similarly. because of the last. thing that during the week they reported that during her doing something for example to. all the food people can every day.
9:13 pm
every day and especially fresh in the same kidney. reality. the new realities to people who. are everyday people. on the streets they see that we have here because they're scared of those persons that they can face in the detention. this weekend because you know we've done that because. there's a great peace firstly. probably going to be a crowd of people again and central meetings can probably will be. different for 2 because that's what they have already problem is they room able to use stand
9:14 pm
before they will be any more. peaceful demonstrations similar to. that in central maine thank you for those updates on the situation find of it's in minutes. donald trump says federal troops are being sent in to assist the national guard following a 4th night of black lives matter protests and cannot show wisconsin around 500 gods are in the city where police shot and paralyzed black american jacob blake on sunday during protests on tuesday 2 people were shot dead in the 17 year old suspect was arrested and charged for that will have a live update in a moment 1st this report is from john hendren. hundreds of law enforcement agents at all levels are descending on the small city of can no ship where local police have struggled to quell escalating violence. the ramping up of law enforcement follows a fatal fight between protesters and
9:15 pm
a teenager who fired an assault weapon on demonstrators killing 2 and wounding one . using video from the scene sheriff's deputies arrested 17 year old kyle rittenhouse a man you. know we're going to blame it on everybody else it was not clear whether rittenhouse was among the armed militia members who verbal e clashed with protesters after days of looting arson in violent clashes this city has responded with a new curfew we're not going to put up with what we saw monday night we're not going to is that mean we're going to stop it all. it comes on numbers that come we're not to be able to stop at all but we're going to be assertive in helping to protect the city at the notion that. the governor has called in a broad array of law enforcement from across the state of wisconsin the region and the federal government governor tony has called in 500 more military troops from
9:16 pm
the national guard to join hundreds of local police and sheriff's deputies in riot gear president trump offered up federal troops saying today i will be sending federal law enforcement and the national guard to canoe she was constant to restore law and order that federal contribution could be sizable a law enforcement source tells me that 60 f.b.i. officers and an untold number of federal swat officers are coming from chicago alone adding to a force that has increased dramatically in recent days. the demonstrations began on sunday after police fired several shots into the back of jacob blake. a black man left paralyzed from a shooting his 3 sons witnessed from inside the car where he was struck wisconsin attorney general just call says the investigation into that shooting shows police were trying to arrest jacob blake following a complaint from his girlfriend that he had trespassed in her home and call name the officer involved. mr blake walked around his vehicle open the driver's side
9:17 pm
door and leaned forward while holding on to mr blake's shirt officer ruston chef ski fired his service weapon 7 times. says blake emitted to officers that he had a knife later found on the driver's side floorboard of his car new video did not show him threatening officers. as protests continued past the new curfew demonstrators seemed undeterred then a massive influx of police plan to shut them down. it's about quarter past 1 of the off there now in commercial wisconsin his john hendren again. looks quite where you are tell us about where you are and what you've been seeing today. well after we saw a massive influx of police as you as you heard in that story that federal regional and local police from around wisconsin hundreds of them particularly from the
9:18 pm
federal government descending on this small city the evening appears to have been pretty quiet we're waiting on a briefing going on right now or in moments with the mayor where we should learn a little more about what happened overnight but what we haven't heard is reports of the kind of widespread looting and arson that we've seen on other nights on other nights a couple nights ago there were 3 dozen fires set that firefighters had to respond to and here in the town square which is sort of the epicenter of all of the protests they've taken out all of the burnt out holes of vehicles that have been trashed they've erected something of a fortress over here you can see the boarded up courthouse and those gates which are where protesters lined up police come out at the end of the night so as far as we know that influx of police seems to have had an effect overnight jesse jackson the civil rights leader came and spoke today to reporters and others here and he
9:19 pm
said that not only should the young man kyle rittenhouse who fired and according to police killed 2 people and injured one more not only should he be thoroughly prosecuted any is facing a 1st degree murder charge but also jackson called for what the family has been calling for all along and that is charges against the officers involved in the shooting of jacob blake. ok thanks for that update john hendren in wisconsin along with his report from overnight there now at the citizen by the wisconsin baseball schiphol team to 6 hours a playoff game in protest against the police shooting will not bring about the end of the n.b.a.'s post season u.s. media reporting at the moment of course the u.s. the n.b.a. i'm sorry postponed all of wednesday's playoffs when the. walky bucks boycotted their game against orlando magic there was a meeting on thursday and basketball is have agreed to continue playing some more details with our sports presenter andy richardson is that the rest of the teams are
9:20 pm
getting on with the milwaukee want other thing that fur to be honest i mean also it's worth bearing in mind we still haven't had official confirmation from the n.b.a. about exactly what is going to happen we've had meetings with the players this morning's this is an n.b.a. board of governors meeting going on as well so we will get more details but it does appear though they've agreed to go back to playing it's not quite clear if certainly no games will take place on thursday no more games will take place on thursday we could see games returning on friday what i think we saw when basketball players went back supplying after the coronavirus suspension went back into this quite peculiar by a secure environment in florida that a lot of other sports are experiencing they all went in there together so they're so they're around each other but they were very clear that one of the reasons they were going by it was not just to play basketball but in the aftermath of the police shooting of george floyd that this was going to be a platform for them to promote their case against racial injustice to have the
9:21 pm
black clouds matzoh slogan very prominently displayed throughout all the games and i think one of their concerns even before this latest incident in wisconsin was that that message was being lost and forgotten and that people were just carrying on with basketball and the things were carrying on as normal and even in the build up to that game there was that strong so raptors a canadian base team obviously all the n.b.a. champions talking about boycotting their game on thursday so it is a collective action and i think it's a products. largely the fact that those players are all together in that bar secure environments in florida they can talk to each other they can sort team are mistaken sort of league officials in a way that they've never been able to do so before. and you richardson with the latest on the n.b.a. developments in the u.s. thank you andy and of course back later at about 10 to the hour with the rest of the sport also ahead more about what i say is the true scale of the corona virus outbreak in syria mollies leaders say they've released the ousted president abraham
9:22 pm
from detention. donald trump is preparing to rally the party faithful for the final night of the republican national convention when he will officially accept the presidential nomination wednesday sessions or vice president mike pence praise trumps record on the economy and law and order he criticized democratic presidential candidate joe biden for attacking america and said the country would not be safe under his leadership president terms which will come from the white house that is where alan fischer is for us now we're almost there alan i mean gosh democratic convention seems a lifetime ago by now what are you expecting from the president tonight. well we're getting an indication of what's in the speech the campaign is saying he will bring a positive message to the country but before he gets to that he's going to brand joe biden a very weak candidate you will see that he's been co-opted by what he calls the
9:23 pm
radical left democratic agenda particularly when it comes to the border to taxes to trade to dealing with china on energy and on crime he will highlight how he believes he's handled the coronavirus epidemic he does that against the backdrop where there's almost $180000.00 dead in the united states and then up unemployment rate of around 10 percent but he will contrast that with what he calls joe biden's basement strategy saying that that has been absolutely useless go to point out joe biden did forward in the very early stages of this what he called a national plan to deal with the coronavirus but also to get the economy reopening he's also going to talk about the violence that we've seen in portland and in chicago and of course recently we're not entirely sure how he's going to frame that and he has of course called the black lives matter and movement a symbol of hate so we expect he's going to go strong on more nor do we think that
9:24 pm
donald trump and the trump campaign believes that this is a winning strategy that this will convince wavering voters that they may be at risk to the point that a lot of the violence is in democratic cities and say look if you vote for joe biden you're going to get a lot more of this where he will present himself as very strong on the idea of law and order but he's also got to present at some point in this speech which we think will take somewhere between 45 minutes to an hour some sort of view some sort of vision for the next 4 years in office when he's been asked about that in 2 recent television interviews he's flubbed the answer essentially he said that they were going to do more of the same and some new things as well it's hardly they say that shining city on the hill the vision of what the next 4 years will bring how you will get through the coronavirus. and how you will help rebuild the economy. going to see that his view is very positive and optimistic and uplifting compared to what he will describe as the doom and gloom of the democratic national convention and it
9:25 pm
will be an inspiring rally cry to voters across the country that would be different to what he did 4 years ago when he accepted the nomination then you remember that was a very dark speech he told the country there were many problems as it was coming out of the obama administration and only he could fix it well no he's going to tell the country that not only has he fixed it but things are going to get better if he's given 4 more years in office that speech just a few hours away on the floor here at the white house and live coverage on al-jazeera of that of course alan fischer thank you. laura now which is ripped through the southern united states and killed a 14 year old girl in louisiana her house was hit by a falling tree the storm made landfall as a severe category 4 with winds of up to 240 kilometers an hour it has since weakened to a tropical storm however a large chemical fire broke hours hours after laura passed over lake charles in
9:26 pm
louisiana. states governors totals to close their doors and windows and stay inside because the plant manufactures chlorine and different kinds of assets so we've got chris pine from n.b.c. news now he's in lafayette louisiana i guess chris and obviously there has been a lot of destruction and people without power without their homes but it seems to have gone better than expected. you know come all the assessments are still underway you have to remember that some of these gulf coast areas are very remote they might be cut off by by lay and you know water might have cut them off they might need to be accessed by helicopters and things of that nature but yes i think that that your assessment is correct in the sense that this certainly takes could have but then much worse. the assessment is undergoing here in lafayette there's trees down there power lines down bricks
9:27 pm
pieces of roofs the thing we're still getting very high powered winds right now even though we're in the back end the tail end of the storm and the front end of it is well up in arkansas also worried in this area in this region about flooded streets as you can see the river behind me has overtaken its banks it could see news to grow has more rain falls up river but yeah i think that certainly the assessment is as crews are out looking to see if there are people who need to be rescued and this point so we know that one person the last 114 year old girl lost her life when a tree fell on her home and certainly in places that took a direct hit from the storm i'm about and hours drive east of lake charles gets much worse there was a lot more widespread business in home damage but so far things are looking better than possibly expected. chris if you can still hear me all right any word on
9:28 pm
federal assistance as far as recovery goes. you know the president signed into law emergency declarations before the storm even hit for texas and louisiana so that should get the money flowing for disaster assistance for people who need housing shelter food things of that nature also the president is meeting with the head of the federal emergency management agency that should be happening any time now to discuss what happened here and see if there is any other response needed but those those wheels are in motion as we speak chris pine's from n.b.c. news in lafayette louisiana thanks chris. here's what's coming up on this news hour sport actually some bad news for this world cup when i had a france's upcoming international sandy is here with that a little later on. how

9:34 pm
a toll on this already beleaguered country and the issue with the numbers is limited testing according to the united nations that is likely masking the true extent of the spread here but one indication that we had comes from the constitutional review commission this group that is set up to rewrite the constitution of syria and hopefully bring some reforms and peace to this beleaguered country was due to start meeting on monday had to delay because 4 members of the committee tested positive for coded they resumed on thursday what's interesting is the people who tested positive came from all 3 of the participant groups that's government opposition and civil society that's just a sign of how widespread the problem is there another sign that we heard in the briefing to the security council here at headquarters earlier is that 11 medical
9:35 pm
facilities have had to suspend their operations either due to reaching capacity or staff there having kovac all of this again an indication that the accounts of cases the spread is more than the official numbers we heard u.s. and western powers not surprisingly in the security council blaming russia for exacerbating a dire situation in syria by limiting cross border aid deliveries russia vetoed some new aid delivery routes in the council only one is operating now and some 11000000 syrians are estimated to need some 4 of some sort of food or medical assistance russia for its part was pointing fingers at the west and sanctions for causing problems with kovac in particular you know. it states under a caesar act which was one into force not too long ago has been implementing
9:36 pm
sanctions against syria and the russians cite western news sources and saying that this is undermining the covert response in the country so typically here at the united nations lots of back and forth and finger pointing about a really dire situation at the end of the day what we have is more suffering for syria quite kristen salumi the u.n. headquarters in new york thanks reston european leaders who've been king to reopen their economies are once again tightening restrictions on thursday fronts confirm more than $6000.00 cases which is its 2nd highest stately total debt and the u.k.'s have dates biggest 24 a jump since june where we challenge. the sick being brought in the numbers seen at the height of the pandemic but they are still coming and recent surges a new infections across several european countries have pushed governments to tighten restrictions again this is spain where daily cases hit 8000 last friday
9:37 pm
children aged 6 and over will have to wear masks when they return to school. and france where parisians have been told mosques are now mandatory in the capital. i want you to know that it is our obligation to anticipate and envisage all theories which draws me to say that plans for further lockdowns meaning the heaviest measures whether local or nationwide already. there were 5429 new delhi infections across the country on wednesday a level not seen since the epidemics peak in early april red zones where the virus is actively circulating have been declared in a 5th of france's regions the government says there's a noticeable increase in infections among young people and 86 percent of $20.00 to $30.00 rolls are testing positive more than the national average officials of the world health organization telling europe to be on its guard. it's true it's a tricky moment know when we transition from the summer to the autumn city.

9:39 pm
after a harrowing emotional 4 days in the high court in christchurch justice cameron delivered brenton terence sentence. in prison. terence showed little emotion even when being told he would spend the rest of his life in prison outside the court there was relief and gratitude that the convicted murderer and terrorist had been given a sentence never before handed down a new zealand but it was mixed with the realisation that the pain will go. back. muslim community. now most of them as well was thought to go
9:40 pm
against the court was told terrence actions after he entered the 2 mosques on march the 15th last year were premeditated and calculated he had studied the layout of the buildings and when they would be busy and in interviews with police expressed disappointment that he hadn't killed more worshippers his view of in-car g.d.p. extreme arms it was brutal. your actions in human. week the sentence brought an end to 4 days of statements by survivors and family members of those killed at least 90 statements were given some of them expressing anger some offering forgiveness all of them emotional the prime minister spoke soon after and expressed his support for them and the sentence the trauma of much 15 is not easily healed but today i hope is the
9:41 pm
last we we have any cause to hear or the name of the terrorist behind it has deserves to be a life time of complete and utter silence. the sentencing of brinton tyrant closes a chapter in one of new zealand's darkest days and means no one has to relive the events in a parole hearing but for the relatives of the 51 people whose lives he took away and those he injured trying to recover will be a long difficult process wayne hey al jazeera. so we're going to talk to dave solsbury now a professor of cyber security management at the university of dayton ohio because professor this i mean the so many online elements to this story the fact that it was live streamed on facebook when it happened the fact that brinton town was looking to well broadcast this to as many people as possible in the time since an attack like this is anything really changed as far as trying to regulate that. well
9:42 pm
i think there's 2 things the center and 1st of all thank you for having me today the fact of the matter is that the internet offers a global platform for people who have ideas ideas and ideology is that may not be gamed acceptable in their society and it offers the opportunity because of this issue good nature to meet up with other people who share who may share some of these idiology is there are a lot of well known sites which are used for things that radicalization the 4 chan's the chans a q and on if you want to go into all of that as well again what steps have been taken about those known sites which i use the most. well. there are go you know governments are trying to think of ways to write laws for these kinds of things that the challenge you face is that 1st you have to figure
9:43 pm
