an in-depth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to break the world smaller and smaller we don't want to be set realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al jazeera. the week after a religious celebration in iraq health officials want hospitals may lose control with a huge jump in covert 19 cases. again i'm peter w. watching 0 to 0 live from our global headquarters here in doha also coming up sudan declares a 3 month state of emergency for some of the worst flooding in decades. arrests and

violence in the u.s. city of portland nearly 100 nights of protests against racism and police brutality . and rescuers in beirut hold out hope of finding a survivor after last month's explosion. ok let's begin in iraq where health officials are warning that hospitals may soon lose control within days over a new spike in corona virus infections well in 5000 new cases were confirmed on saturday the highest daily number yet the health ministry has largely blamed it on people who've been taking part in big gatherings without masks or social distancing iraqi hospitals have suffered from years of conflict inadequate funding and neglect or such a body has more now from baghdad almost really behind this record. this is because

last sunday on august 30th it was the holy day of assura in iraq it's a very important day for share muslims across the world it is the day that the grandson of the prophet mohammad it was killed in karbala in 688 d. and they converge on to curb a lot to commemorate his passing and although the government had this had said that they would be a limited number of people able to allow and enter the shrine of imam hussein there were still hundreds of thousands who attended to pay their respects as opposed to the numbers we've seen in the past last year there was over 3000000 people who visit a curb along the shore of the government has urged people to try and abide by the guidelines but after that day we've seeing a spike over 5000 positive cases in the past 24 hours this is something the authorities are very worried about the country's already in a semi lockdown there is a partial curfew from 10 pm till 5 am 25 percent of government employees are

allowed to go into work schools are still not reopening here until probably the end of october for now so there is a lot of concern that these numbers will continue to increase because people did not listen to officials although the government didn't shut down the shrine they said that they could not close it down but they did allow a limited number of people to go in but it's so has managed to increase the numbers of positive cases the world health organization has also said that even prior to assure they were concerned by the alarming rate of increase in numbers in iraq and that they urge the authorities to do everything they can at all costs to try and limit the spread of this pandemic but many people here we are seeing on a regular basis just do not listen to the guidelines and there is really very little the government is doing to enforce the rules and regulations that they have put in place no records of virus infection supports 4000000 in india

86000 cases were registered as the 3rd countries across the 4000000 calls to the u.s. and brazil the government is pushing to reopen businesses to revive the shrinking economy. the government of sudan has declared a 3 month state of emergency because of weeks of floods that have killed nearly 100 people the oil river has risen to levels not seen in a century and overall rates of flooding rain exceed records in the 1940 s. and the 1980 s. 100000 homes have been badly damaged or they've collapsed entirely half a 1000000 people have been affected. this update from. we've spoken to meteorologist and 2 government officials who work in the ministry of water and irrigation and they attribute the reason of the unprecedented levels of the nile river to multiple factors they say one of its climate change they say that there's been heavy rainfall in ethiopia where 80 percent of the water comes from the blue

nile and so so they say that the heavy rains and if you can high lands and that eventually comes downstream on the nile is one of the reasons why we're seeing heavy flooding along the banks of the nile they also say that the dams that have been built along the nile over the past few years have contributed to the fact that the heavy rains after the rise of the water levels now we've got at least 4 dams along the nile river 3 of them here in sudan and one of them just on the border just just over the across the border with egypt and one of them that has just recently been announced there that has been filled in ethiopia now that was expected to reduce the amount of water that is flooding right now because it's partially filled in because no deal has been reached between the 3 countries sudan if you have here and egypt a lot of issues remain to be decided and a lot of things are yet to be completed in terms of the operations of that dam but sudan right now is saying that it is announcing

a 3 month date of emergency because of the unprecedented levels it's right now at 17 meters point $61.00 that is a record that has not been broken in a century. search continues for a possible survivor beneath the rubble of a collapsed building in beirut highly sensitive equipment detected signs of breathing on friday rescuers have so far dug 3 tunnels to the spot where the signs of life were picked up but nothing has been found so you know order is close to the search area. a short while ago the head of the 11 on civil defense said that they found nothing no body no survivors but as you can see behind me the search operation continues the possibility really of finding a survivor 32 days after the blast is quite slim but nobody here is giving up hope late yesterday the head of the chilean team and they are leading this search operation in fact it was their dog and then their machines their scanners their sensory equipment it was it was what the tech to really

a sign of life thursday morning 18 breaths per minute 24 hours later it reduced the significantly but late yesterday afternoon they were not able to detect anything they're not discounting the possibility that there was jamming their signal was jammed because of the live transmission the phones in the area so as you can see the search operation continues it is day 3 no one here is losing losing hope to the chilean that of the chilean team told us yesterday is that we shouldn't be talking about the percentage of ever because he was asked whether or not the machines could have made this error he said this is not what we want to talk about what we want to talk about is the percentage of humanity even if it's just one percent they are not going to give up so people here are waiting to see but there's a lot of anger with the authorities because it's been 32 days in that collapsed building was never searched and another question which nobody can answer at this

point in time is if there is a body or if there's a possible survivor who is that according to the lebanese army 7 people are missing 3 lebanese to the syrians one egyptian but so far no family has came you know came to claim the possibility that their loved one is underneath that building. u.s. police in portland have broken up protests as the west coast city heads towards $100.00 straight nights of demonstrations there have also been arrests it's been going on since the death of george floyd in police custody in may president from dispatched federal agents to portland in july saying local authorities weren't capable of stopping the unrest they were later look for. sergio almost as following the process in portland he says demonstrators are energized ahead of the 100th nights of prosensa explains the impact president trump's comments on the city are having now. tomorrow is the 100 day mark and so there are protests planned all throughout the day i think you know or the police continue to say that they are

tired here 'd and you know they can't stack this many police officers the sunday nights with protests and stacking for the conservative rally. but overall the city is on one hand weary and on the other hand. kind of energized the thing about the protests in portland is that the president trump he's kind of an ancillary figure most of the chants and the and those kind of demands are to the mayor here they want him to define and even abolish local police depending on who you talk to a lot of it is not center and president now when present from some federal agency here you know it was definitely much more about president and federal government but you know the process here a kind of hyper local with the mayor doesn't you know has not been talking about so much in the press conferences that he's also the police commissioner and a lot of decisions on how to police these protests you know he's directly

responsible for so police you know have been using tear gas and buttons in the making arrests in the street and they've been unsuccessful and i know. this will be protesters and continuing the protests each night there's new clips of protesters being brutalized and so the mayor you know is not really giving clear answers on how we you know you know tell his police force to just to police these protests. meanwhile in rochester in the state of new york protests against police brutality have continued into the night dozens of people are seeking justice after the death of black man daniel proved in march he suffocated after being arrested by the police officers put a mesh hood over his head and held him down for 2 minutes whilst he was handcuffed 7 officers have now been suspended. donald trump is defending himself against allegations he called america's war dead losers and suckers bots there is a growing backlash from veterans and his political rivals roselyn jordan as more.

on friday u.s. president donald trump called a press conference to talk about the economy and the kobe 19 pandemic but reporters wanted to know about the controversy that has been dogging trump all day and atlantic magazine article which says he has repeatedly disrespected the 2200000 members of the u.s. military it's a disgrace because you look at what i've done for the united states military i love those people the atlantic says in 2018 prop was supposed to visit a french cemetery where thousands of u.s. troops are buried he didn't go saying the weather was too bad but sources told the magazine trump was more worried about the rain messing up his hair trump reportedly also said why should i go to that cemetery it's filled with losers the magazine then claims then called the marines buried there suckers and that trouble didn't

want wounded troops taking part in military parades saying nobody wants to see that the magazine also says that trump questioned the troops motivation to serve during a trip to arlington national cemetery koch was there with john kelly the retired general who served 1st as his homeland security secretary and then as his chief of staff kelly son was killed in iraq the president stood at robert kelly's grave and said to john i don't get it what was in it for them during a press conference on friday accused john calley of being one of the sources of the story i see anonymous but it could have been a guy like a john kelly because he was because it's going to say he was a very you know look at some of his news conference is what happened to him he got eaten alive he was unable to handle the pressure of this. campaign

quickly made this an issue really seeing this ad and the former vice president call the allegations disgusting if true my son volunteered to join the united states military as the attorney general who went to iraq for year won the bronze star and other commendations he wasn't a sucker. reaction on social media scathing this from overtire general when he met with the chairman of the joint chiefs general dunford his comment was that's a smart guy why is he in the military and from a veterans organization opposed to trial my message to donald trump is that this you have no right being the commander in chief donald trump has bragged about not serving in the vietnam war in the 2016 campaign not only did he insult the parents of a man who was killed serving in iraq but he also mocked prisoners of war now all

of that did not affect a candidate tromp with his military supporters back then but in 2020 his democratic opponent is betting that such talk from the commander in chief could actually backfire on him ruslan jordan al-jazeera alexandria virginia ok still to come on this program for you creating change at the ballot box or on the street spend as well as opposition is divided on house defeat eclipse majority in the forthcoming election plus. nobody can take away their years of. holding out hope the n.l. messy fans in argentina still dreamed the football legend will come home. but . how it will all eyes on as super typhoon now making its way to watch pants was
