0. 00. hello there i'm the star and this is the news hour live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes angry protests against lebanon's new leadership that's facing pressure over the devastating ports explosion and an economic crisis bring in reforms or face sanctions french president emanuel macklemore and lebanon's leaders during his 2nd visit to beirut since the explosion . u.s. president donald trump is heading to the city of commotion following protest over

the police shooting of an unarmed african-american man. and a pledge to resolve divisive policies from the mugabi era zimbabwe offers to give back land seized from former white farms. facebook says it will ban users in a strainer from sharing news if it's forced to pay journalists for showing their weapon. but on people simply this president donald trump gets a game the n.b.a. calling you reilly political. the french president emanuel back on as the quick formation of a new lebanese government to stay in the country out of its deep political and economic crisis he's calling it the last chance for lebanon system mccrone has been visiting the devastated port in beirut for a 2nd time now since an explosion last month killed on. 200 people and left

hundreds of thousands homeless and stuff was named prime minister just hours before mccrum landed on monday well let's now speak to al-jazeera as in a quarter who's in martyrs square that's the scene of protests right now and i see those people there behind you can you talk about the dynamic that you've been seeing today what's the message from. well people are still angry you mentioned the prime minister appointed the 24 hours ago many people here believe he's just a product of the system he was appointed by the political class that has been governing this country for decades a political class accused of corruption and mismanagement that only ran the economy into the ground but responsive for negligence for storing highly explosive material at beirut ports which caused such a devastating explosion so there is the anger they believe that there is no change they had hoped when the french president 1st visited lebanon soon after that explosion back on august the 6th they thought that the international community will

help them topple the political class the ruling elite and they believe that what happened over the past few days this part of an international deal but mccrone himself has answered these allegations that he is giving cover to this new prime minister and to a political class the french president has said i did not elect these officials you did the president was elected by parliament the people elected parliament i cannot change that but what he can do and what the international community can do exert pressure on the political class to agree to much needed reforms and to fight corruption in the states and earlier today micro making it quite clear really some sort of an ultimatum that in sri months if the politicians don't carry out reforms the possibility of sanctions against the ruling class is on the table and then how has that all been going down with the protesters around you what's been the feeling

today. well a few 100 people turned out it wasn't a large gathering people are tired people feel that protesting in the streets has really led to nowhere just a few weeks back we were here and security forces used excessive force they used live ammunition also there are other people who still support the sectarian politicians and there are other people who believe let us give this new prime minister a chance maybe now that the international community is has its eye really on lebanon and exerting pressure on the leadership there will be change so there is mixed feelings but at the end of the day many feel that mcchrystal really has his own interests at heart not just lebanon's interests at heart what he has done really is project power and influence trying to revive france's influence not only in lebanon but in the region that's why he chose the date he wanted to return to lebanon and it's really symbolic because today is the 100th anniversary since the

declaration of the greater state of lebanon a proclamation made by the french mandate authorities so a lot of symbolism there so many people feel here that mccrone has its own personal interests at heart much more than the interest of the lebanese people and we do expect to hear from across today we'll be bringing you that live here on out of there thanks so much for the nation. well u.s. president donald trump is on his way to connection despite appeals by city leaders to stay away there have been days of anti racism protests in that city following the police shooting of jacob blake the african-american is paralyzed after being shot in the back 7 times in a moment will be live how corresponds in connecticut and also at the white house but 1st this report from mike hanna. reaction to the nationwide protests has defined the massive gap between the policies of president trump and his democratic party opponent now that the president has described elements among the protesters

of the black lives matter movement as looters and the kids and has encouraged his supporters to hold counted demonstrations in a mob contrast joe biden tweeted a picture of himself taking a me with those protesting police brutality and racism and at a campaign meeting in pittsburgh by didn't painted a picture of an incumbent president seeking to foment violence for political game rather than exploring ways to end it because donald trump adds fuel to every fire because he refuses to even acknowledge that there's a racial justice problem in america because he won't stand up to any form of violence he's got no problem with right wing militia white supremacist vigilantes with assault weapons often better armed with the police. president trump's reaction was predictable claiming again that joe biden is weak on law and order. news

given moral aid and comfort to the veil those repeating the mantra that these were peaceful protests in a peaceful protest. this anarchy joe biden has spoken to the mother of jacob blake the 29 year old african american who was shot and paralyzed by police in can osha wisconsin last week she said she was praying for sun but she says something. that surprised she was prayed for all police officers. she was already been praying for america even before her son was shot president trump explained why he has not spoken to the family. with the pastor wonderful man the family's pastor and i thought it would be better not to do anything with their lawyers in the they wanted me to speak but they wanted to have lawyers involved and i thought that was inappropriate so i didn't do that the governor of wisconsin sent a letter to president trump asking him to cancel his proposed visit to commotion

this week in the letter the governor says and i quote i am concerned your presence will not only hinder our healing i am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together president trump has brushed aside these concerns and confirmed that he will be traveling to can osha as planned mike hanna al-jazeera washington. and our white house correspondent candy how trains us now live from washington can really despite joe biden's talents have president trying to condemn acts of violence by his supporters and the political right it seems he's not done that. that's right i think you've as my can also pointed out you as well it's the fact that both men have now really seized on this issue of the violence that's taken place following many of these racial justice protests and have failed to denounce their supporters and some of the more

unsavory acts now donald trump was the latest one to be reluctant to denounce the actions of kyle rittenhouse he is the man that one week ago in can osha wisconsin shot to allegedly 2 different supporters of joe biden men then of course we have joe biden in a blistering speech just a little less than 24 hours ago challenging donald trump so what we know from all of this is that both men seem to appear as the presidential election is inching ever closer i believe we're now 63 days until voting day that this is something that has become a way to score points with your supporters so what this is done is essentially made the tensions and the divisions even deeper but it's an indication of what we're likely to see in the coming weeks of this campaign now for president trump's part i

should point out that he has just left the white house on his way to can ocean wisconsin where we know that he is not particularly welcomed by many of the people on the ground there they're fearful it's going to steer and stir up trouble locally donald trump did not talk to reporters as he left but it's clear that he thinks it's important to go there why not only is this potentially to meet with some of the people on the ground but also it's a battleground state and they are in a battle both men joe biden for the democrats down trying for the republicans to win this white house committee how come there are white house correspondent thank you so much candy well let's now go live to commercial and my. john hendren joins us john we know the governor didn't want president trump to come and that's a good thing yesterday about almost guaranteed that he would what sort of a welcome can we expect today company doesn't think it's going to be very friendly one. well you're right it one way to

get jonell trump to come somewhere is to get a democrat to disinvite him and that's exactly what happened the president was determined to come here he'll spend about 3 hours on the ground about 2 hours of it here in can no ship and he's going to start out as tour with a tour of some of the damage that has been done and there's no place where there's more damage in this town than you can see that uptown strong sign and if you look up above you can see the burned out windows of what looks like apartments above and that's the way it is with pretty much every business all down this 2 block area we came here last tuesday and it was in smoldering flames this used to be a mattress factory and you can bet that trump will be here looking at places like this this fits right in with his campaign theme of law and order he claims that under biden's government if he is elected president that this is what america will

see of biden of course joe biden keeps reminding people that it is trump's america now and this is what we are seeing we've talked to some protesters on the ground who have said that they plan to hold an event about 1 o'clock while the president is here it is now 1015 local time so that's in about 3 hours and we have people filing by here yelling out the window trump is no welcome there's a plane up ahead saying rejects from vote in november but it should be noted that this is a swing town in a swing state they voted for trump here and you know shit in 2016 by a majority 2 years later they voted for tony even as the democratic governor. president trump and joe biden the democratic presidential candidate both want to win wisconsin and that's why they've drawn battle lines here and you know show and john i see it that jacob blanc and his family remain off the president's schedule today he'll be meeting with law enforcement instead i say that the brake family is

also planning some kind of an event. that's why the president is going to a high school that has been turned into an emergency command center and he'll be seeing people like this the police officers and national guard troops who are here in the hundreds actually in the low found. and the president you can expect it walk away from this talking about that law and order message is not meeting with the family of jacob blake apparently did reach out with a one of their lawyer involved and he said that was not appropriate the reverend jesse jackson has been here and he's called for people to boycott the trump visit he says all trump wants is attention don't give it to him he likes the conflict and he'll feed on that but that is not what's happening here there should be a protest at about 1 o'clock there will be people here whose who have been telling us that they want to get their voice out rejecting the president's visit here as tony even as the governor said they believe it will exacerbate tensions so the

president's only going to be on the ground for about 2 hours it will find out what people have to say in a couple hours from now john hendren there on the ground for us and kind of show us concern thank you very much john well let's take you to some live pictures now of air force one president trump will be getting on board and flying very shortly to canarsie where we will be following his visit very closely indeed here on al-jazeera foreign. there is plenty more ahead for you this news hour including why the king of saudi arabia have sacked the coalition forces commander leading the war in yemen. coronavirus and its long term damage we look at gender equality cheering this time down. and tell us well number one novak djokovic resisted his 1st round match in front of empty stands at the u.s. open piece of world cup he's.

now isolated leader in turkey is under arrest and was caught in the southern city of of a donna by security forces they say he was receiving orders from iraq and syria to launch an attack in turkey and i'm still not public attack killed 39 people 3 years ago and a bomb attack in istanbul killed 12 people and 2016 now the king of saudi arabia has sacks the commander of coalition forces at war in yemen and a royal decree prince for husband turkey and his son are being investigated for suspicious financial transactions at the defense ministry they are the latest members of the royal family to be detained as part of what's being called an anti corruption campaign by crown prince mohammed bin salma well simon modern is the director of the richardson institute for peace studies he says the sacking is rather aimed at consolidating the saudi crown prince his hold on power. i think it's symbolic in the sense that it relates to what many of us. as a serious failure and of the yemen conflict but i don't think it has so much that

do with those duty jacare of the solar pops there's a useful byproduct of the saudi military via but pertains more. to the i guess what some people are calling the purge 2.0 this continued after that to get rid of the what many see to be the final remnants of dissent against mohammed bin solomon's rule so i would argue that's more about cracking down on corruption and assuring that mohamed bin solman has complete power and autonomy in riyadh an across the saudi political spectrum rather than anything reflecting military issues and strategic failings in the yemen conflict as much as it is easy to draw that conclusion what's interesting to know i guess is that many across the kingdom are not at all surprised by this they say this is the latest in a strategy put in place by mohamed bin salman they're not at all surprised that

this is taking place. israel has reopened its only border crossing with gaza after reaching an agreement for him asked to enter weeks of hostilities and on the border the cease fire broke out by cattle well after critical supplies including phil to cross into the besieged entourage of how forth has moved from asterisks. israel it brings an end to the in century balloons and rocket fire that have been coming out from the gaza strip at a time when they don't really want to be focusing on a military confrontation they'd rather be focusing on the normalization deal with the united arab emirates and of course for hamas they are dealing with a major covert outbreak the 1st community level covert outbreak inside the gaza strip since the start of the pandemic trying to do so under the current situation or the previous situation with these very restrictive punitive measures imposed by israel in terms of reducing the fishing area down to 0 not allowing any diesel in

for the only power station in the strip was becoming pretty much untenable and so that was the opportunity one which most recently was seized upon by the qatari envoy hamas is saying that that that was the that the most recent bit of mediation that came through with this deal and under its terms we've seen the fishing zone reopened although fishermen can't go out because of the coded restrictions gaza is on the complete lockdown crucially there will be diesel coming in so the electricity situation is due to go up from 3 to 4 hours followed by 16 to 20 hours without electricity to an 8 hours on 8 hours off patent $27000000.00 worth of qatari money coming into the strip as well what's more controversial and potentially more important in terms of the longevity of this deal are the other things that hamas is demanding in terms of enter into structure projects such as

water treatment plants and industrial zone things which will crucially if they go ahead create jobs in an area which is so beset by poverty and unemployment. well china has warned india over rising tensions that their disputed border both countries accuse each other's troops of crossing the line of actual control india says it disrupted what it calls provocative military movements by chinese troops in the east in the dock region overnight on sunday when china counters that indian forces violated its territorial sovereignty during an operation on monday centered on the southern shore of lake and our correspondent katrina is following developments from beijing and has more on china's reaction. we have had a more aggressive response from chinese state media got here the global news the global times which is the english language newspaper of the global times and the headline is about india saying that indian troops have made in the legal crossing in the area and quite aggressive editorial in this paper today on tuesday saying

that india should. withdraw its troops to to make sure that these tensions are escalating saying that china will not hesitate to protect its sovereignty and will do everything to repel india and attacks if there is any agitation made by new delhi and also saying that india should be under no illusion that the chinese military is not willing and ready to take on india that china india simply nor much for the chinese side and according to the global timetables undertaken a survey of its readers saying the boss majority of chinese readers say that they're tired of what it's called hostile behavior from the indian side and that 90 percent would support military action should the chinese government stink about it is fair to do so but of course there's also been an acknowledgement from china that media is also a very important neighbor a lot of trade is done with india and they would like to maintain peace and

analysts say india and china have been conducting talks for the last few months for every week almost but these talks seem to have been very limited in the amount of progress they've been able to achieve so far straightly is government says it's no closer to finding out why one of its citizens has been detained in china chiang les works as a television presenter a chinese state run channel c.t.m. she's not been charged but she's being held under what's called residential surveillance these trading embassy was able to speak with chang through a video link last week this all comes at a time of growing tension between china and australia over the coronavirus pandemic . well facebook is now threatening to stop users in astray from sharing news on its platforms that's if a proposed law is passed which would make facebook and google pay local media outlets for their content the social networking giant says the bill being drafted by strangers top competition watchdog is ill timed and misconceived but the

government says the proposal would create a more sustainable media industry last month google warned it could scale back services in a straight if those changes go ahead well what's happening in australia is just the latest example of governments trying to curb the power of big tech for various reasons beijing has long imposed restrictions on internet companies to prevent subversion through what's known as china's great fire wall facebook twitter and snap chat are among the firms banned from operating there in the recent weeks the trumpet ministration has targeted chinese video sharing up to talk it threatened to close it down in the u.s. saying it's a threat to national security for a strain targeting facebook and google is about addressing power and balances between tech companies and traditional media who've seen the advertising revenue eroded by online competitors well we can now speak to jim anderson he's the c.e.o. of social flow a tech company that helps media companies distribute social content he joins us now from new york jim thanks for being with us but i do want to start with the argument

that the australian government is making here they say facebook already pays some media for content and this is really just evening the playing field how much content is facebook buying is that actually legitimate argument. well it is a legitimate argument argument and there are some important principles at stake but let's not forget this is an issue about money facebook and google have money the media companies want to the australian government is you know is trying to level the playing field i think the question is whether the outcome here is going to be what they actually expect well let me ask you about that because so many newspapers around the world have seen them struggling this little which makes digital platforms pay for this content it's that i say by all the biggest trading media companies but if it restricts who's actually accessing their content it feels like it could backfire on them i think you're exactly right and that's really facebook and by extension google's biggest threat if you will is hey if you force us to live under an economic framework that we don't think we could live with then we're just going to eliminate the ability to share those kinds of links and that would be

really a worst case outcome for everybody if you could be bad for consumers would be bad for the media companies would be bad for facebook and google but i think it would be worse for the media companies that it would for facebook and that's really the outcome i don't think anybody wants to see and so what you have is an interesting commercial negotiation taking place effectively in public by the media doing press releases trying to advance their position while you said this could affect consumers negatively facebook has become the primary new source for such a huge proportion of people of australia and more than half of americans do you think it will affect the way that uses even engage with the platform. i think it could you know it's interesting i mean it's all about convenience really everything on the internet is one click away there's really no reason you can't go get whatever news you want but you know we're a society and in a world of convenience and if we could just show up on your mobile device straight in a feed curated by algorithms to sort of know what you're interested in well who wouldn't like that convenience you know sort of in terms of having to go and find that

content so consumers could ultimately go and find that news i think the big concern for media companies is that they won't build a sort of continue to look at their posts from their friends and their family you know me posting about my dog or my you know my trip to somewhere as opposed to actually you know meaningful news when i see there are already similar conversations around competition and compensation happening in europe for instance do you think we could see other countries or other platforms follow suit. i think so and in many ways i think what facebook is probably most concerned about is the precedent here if they set into a range meet with australia you know what's the e.u. going to say what's the united states going to say very different political environments obviously in each of those places but around the world whatever deal is set with australia if there is in fact a deal and in many ways becomes the president and the bar that set that all of the other you know sort of geographies and countries around the world probably are going to try to do better than that jim anderson that the c.e.o. of social flow a tech company speaking to us from new york great to get your insights here on out

of the region thanks for being with us thank you. still ahead here on out of their anger in brazil over the issue of abortion as the government imposes new rules for rape victims it's. up in smoke rain falls and some fire ravaged parts of argentina but one of south america's major wetland ecosystem the remains under threat. and a former rock explain means his new team to victory over houston and the n.b.a. playoffs ok so what about story point in school. is it. out of the stew an influx of more sure i should say another one coming through amman yemen southwest saudi throughout the arabian peninsula says an increase feeding a few minutes in for example about 4 and the potential for thunderstorms in the

shooting of take a break i asked a month outraged back lives national protest as a presenter on has been making comments to the media at joint base andrews just before getting on air force one let's take a guess. that these are anarchists these are agitators they're rioters they're looters they're bad people they're burning down cortlandt would you take a look at that you take a look at the streams last night and the fake news media will say that they're friendly protest because you people out there that we only had an artist press of this country would be much more advanced but we have a very dishonest brush yesterday right there. are a lot about an hour to the worker in one of our great old bit like bridge some of those. yardbird think it all but i think it's helping because i'm about law and order and if you look at. the black community they want the police to help them

stop crime the span of community they want police 82 percent 84 percent numbers of gravity would see. they don't want drunk they don't want to be mugged they don't want to have any problems. it's just for show and as far as the previews. everything straight. which is really great take a look at the regular louis ferguson. where they. were. what we're doing with you sure you would have to show. well we'll be bringing you all the latest from that trip to wisconsin here on out as they're moving on now white farmers and zimbabwe can now apply to get back to land seized when robert mugabe was president more than $4000.00 farmers were forced from their land almost 20 years ago the said zanu p.f.

policy was to undo the racist inheritance of colonial era land grabs their addictions provoked international sanctions which are blamed for destroying the economy. has capital harare. president. robert mugabe 2017 he was under a lot of pressure from a new way in government to implement reforms economic reforms human rights reforms in terms of making the right to protection of property and the rule of law and to deal with the issue of government is not trying to raise more than $3000000000.00 to compensate white bobbing farmers who lost their land during the land reform program the farm bill currently farming about 200 of them they're going to be. 99 year leases and in foreign white farmers who were here because of bilateral trade agreements for example if they lost their land they have the right to apply for that land and if away black people have been on that land those people will then be moved to other parts of the country now it's a divisive issue

a lot of people every emotion people are very unhappy about the government the argument is that why i think it came to this. part of africa in the 1890s they called this country a d.j. they forced thousands of black people to move off the land into land which is hard to cultivate and you wipe their clothes were given tracts of land by the bin government to that later liberation war and 1980 this country they became zimbabwe with black majority rule but still most of the good land was still in the hands of white minority farmers so that in later the land reform program after the war between forced rubber mugabe to give black people the land so all of this playing out and going on all the time of the government if you think these people remember in 2013 the bobbins participated in a rental random and that referring to people ought. the rights of property be respected should rule of law be respected your wife i'm with you compensated and majority of people at that time voted yes and that clause is not in the current

constitution. 14 people go on trial in france on wednesday on terrorism charges they're accused of helping to gunman carry out the attack that took place in paris 5 years ago at the headquarters of satirical magazine charlie hebdo 12 people were killed that day including famous cartoons. now to the corona virus pandemic now and the british government is set to launch a media campaign and karajan people to return to their offices 2 weeks after coronavirus restrictions began to but while business leaders do support the idea many are sticking to working from home practices reports from london. these gleaming towers are deserted surrounding streets of squares abandoned by soup clad workers are now skater hangouts. there are fears struggling city centers may never recover if people don't return to their offices

now is the time says the government for white collar workers to go back to their desks where it's possible and people can now return to work it's safe to do so gradually now people will start to return to the office but i suspect we'll see more flexible working than we've seen in the past and it will be for employers and employees to work out the right balance in the cases many businesses have brought in new safety measures to entice staff back offices or a puzzle meant of signage and one way systems rules govern our movements companies also have to contend with a dramatic shift towards home working the pandemic has proven that for many working from home can indeed work so even claim to be more productive now they don't have to face the morning and evening commute but according to a poll by cardiff university 9 out of 10 people prefer it so can and should we go back to the way things were before. those supporting

a return say rich companies have a moral duty to help revive the economy the people really taking the risks in this economy right now are by and large lower wage employees of paan who in this country depends for a ton of different services and what we don't see happening is the same courage and determination by and large amongst higher wage employers and employees and we need them to step up and to come back to the office as much as they can responsibly. despite government efforts multiple city firms expect only a fraction of staff to return in the near future and some large companies have decided to close offices altogether. the government suggested staggering start times and a mixture of office and home working the few expect these commuter trains to ever be full again. on every level the coronavirus crisis is redefining

the way we live and work needs barker al-jazeera london well the united nations is warning that the pandemic has reversed decades of progress on women's rights and west and inequality between the sexes and chief antonio terrace says women are playing a disproportionate role in responding to the virus and roles including frontline health care workers and home care and he says it's also taking its toll on young girls progress last may take years even generations to recover. you know from the envelope break us that it will give each girl there's leave school they may never return. millions of girls around the world got out of school and there are a lot of the reports of an increase in teenage pregnancies in some countries. each of these issues is a crisis if you look right. but how do you struggle is director of the gender violence and health center at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine

she says governments need to do more to protect women. i think women have been affected it's quite significantly by the coronavirus and i agree with and clinging to terrorists 'd that it's quite a worrying trend that we are seeing they are affected in employment them more likely to be instead jobs then we're likely to not get promoted in the coming up coming time and i think the main reason behind this really is steadman are facing the majority of the child care that has increased significantly by school clothes as close as a child to a daycare centers etc and obviously also the incredible increase we see on the message across the world so a lot of my work is in the middle income countries so we know in kenya there is a school lock step in school closure until the end of the year b.c. rapid increases in teenage pregnancies and most of them are not going to go back to school you saw in bangladesh that the locked on head a significant impact on the increases the physical sexual and emotional violence as well that's a recent study in the lancet global health so actually across

a lot of little middle income countries you see these increases and then some of these countries like for example plums and the are pregnant girls are not allowed to go back to school by government policy so there are quite a few gems pacts that needlessly and in addition are also the 1st signs that maternity services are also decreasing in quality and accessibility for. oh now brazil has imposed new rules for rape victims seeking an abortion requiring them to look at the fetus before the procedure doctors also now have to report their cases to the police this comes 2 weeks after anti-abortion activist surrounded a hospital to stop a 10 year old girl from terminating her pregnancy monica young calves reports from rio de janeiro. images of anti abortion activists trying to barge into this hospital in the northeastern state of play in the book will still spark out rage in brazil inside a pregnant 10 year old girl who had been raped by her uncle since she was 6 was

having an abortion the hospital in the girl's home state refused to take her in forcing the child to travel more than 1400 kilometers to get medical help there was well this week. we have several units in the country that do not have the capacity to take care of women in these circumstances so the situation is dire in brazil. after finding a clinic the girl had to be smuggled into the building in the trunk of a car to avoid a near riot the girl's name and the place where she was having the procedure were revealed on social media by an anti-abortion activist who encouraged her followers to surround the hospital and call the child murder. 2 weeks after the girl's ordeal the government of jailable so now to which opposes abortion has adopted a new protocol critics say the ministerial ordinance makes it more difficult for
