online be part of the debate let me put some comments to you when no topic is off the table is taking on all the systemic islands that people of color have suffered not only now but for decades we are going to be to transform lives the way he treats human equating it business if we're going to adapt to climate breakout this street on out is there. a week off to religious celebrations in iraq and there are warnings hospitals may lose control of the rising coverage infections. following them come all santa maria here in doha with the world news from al-jazeera. hears no sense of service. no loyalty to any cause over

those himself. presidential candidate joe biden slams donald trump for his reported comments mocking the u.s. war dead which the white house says is all a hoax. and sudan declares a 3 month state of emergency after some of the worst flooding there in decades. and it's time for millions of children to go back to school teachers in afghanistan are telling us that they're confident their students will be able to make up for lost time. starting in iraq where authorities are warning hospitals may lose control that's their words of the corona virus outbreak within days more than 5000 new infections were recorded on friday which was the highest rise yet the number of new cases reported on saturday has come down to just over 4600 the health ministry put put

this week spike down to people having large gatherings without masks or social distancing. is in baghdad with this one door so those numbers yes coming down from friday to saturday but still 4600 ferry i. yes it certainly is come all and it's very alarming just to give you an idea of how high those numbers are iraq has a population of just over 38000000 people that is about the size of iran in the neighboring country and they have doubled the number of positive cases on a daily basis the issue here is that the shura gatherings that took place last sunday to commemorate the death of hossein the grandson of the prophet muhammad in kerbala is one of the reasons saudis believe these numbers are going up and we've spoken to somebody from the health ministry who told us that they are actually going to be conducting more tests in the coming days so they expect these numbers to actually increase even though we've seen a slight decrease over the past 24 hours it's still expected to go up we also have

heard from officials who say that the mosques in anbar province in western iraq will reopen as of sunday across the country mosques continue to be closed to people but because that province has had very low numbers there's about 36 confirmed cases in the past 24 hours the authorities have said that they will reopen the mosques in that province but the officials have said that assura commemorations in the city of karbala in the south of the country last sunday is the reason they're seeing this spike now. comment from the government about possibly losing control of the virus i mean the very serious language what are they doing to try to prevent. well there are a number of measures that are in place one is there is still a partial curfew across the country from 10 pm to 5 am there isn't a mandatory mask order but very few people actually abide by this i've seen maybe

about 30 percent of the general public in baghdad alone that are constantly wearing masks and there is also the issue of protests that are ongoing about a number of issues that this country is facing one of them is high unemployment the unemployment numbers before the and the mic hit in march was about 20 percent as a result of the pandemic and the lockdown that followed that number is now in new delhi doubled the people that are outside protesting on a daily basis say they just can't afford to stay home and country the government is actually not also enforcing a lot of the rules that they've put into place. was supposed to be. only allowing very limited number of people have you seen images of people even if they were wearing masks social distancing in the shrine area. and shrine is very very difficult so these are the issues that the governments face even though they've put in the measures that the world health organization has advised them in forcing it

is a very different story and the w.h.o. has also said that iraq has to make this a priority because the spread of the pandemic could have catastrophic effects on the country thank you dosage of bari without up to from back to. india now where recorded coronavirus infections of past 4000000. record 86000 cases were registered on sunday making indeed the 3rd country to pass the 4000000 mark after the united states and brazil the government is pushing to reopen businesses to revive the economy. on to other news and u.s. presidential candidate joe biden a strongly criticized donald trump after reports the president mocked america's war dead the atlantic magazine quotes unnamed sources who say trump has made several offensive comments including that fallen soldiers were quote losers and suckers he says he added press says it is independent they confirmed many of those remarks

when my son volunteered enjoy the united states military as the attorney general went to a rock 3 year won the bronze star and other commendations he wasn't a sucker servicemen and women he served with particularly those did not come home we're not losers if these statements are true the president should humbly apologize no it was a fake story written by a magazine that was probably not going to be around much longer but it was a totally fake story and that was confirmed by many people who were actually there it was a terrible thing that somebody could say that kind of things and especially to me because i don't work for the military then almost anybody else. rosalynn jordan in alexandria virginia with more on this i think maybe you rose one of the problems donald trump has here i mean he denies it of course but the language loses because

that is kind of his language that's the type of stuff he puts in his tweets that it is in past comments that he has mayes. it is in the vein of comments that donald trump has made both as a presidential candidate back in 2016 as he has during his 4 years in office so that in of itself is not the surprise but something else that came out of the atlantic magazine story is the suggestion that on numerous occasions donald trump said to others including former members of the military that he couldn't understand why people would volunteer to serve in what is an all volunteer military here in the united states he couldn't understand why they didn't put making money ahead of pay taking up arms and defending the country from outside threats and that is what has really offended many many people and they're now saying that he doesn't

understand the concept of what it means to was serve something larger than oneself and that makes him unfit they say to be the commander in chief of the u.s. armed forces better and voters it's important isn't it rosalynn for any candidate really and i guess maybe that's why i don't trump and the white house pushing back so hard on it. that's right and there's also a new poll that was conducted by military times a newspaper that is a name that has an armed forces audience it shows that for the 1st time a small majority of those polled say that they favor joe biden the democratic nominee over donald trump i believe the margin was something in the order of 41 percent to 37 percent just outside the margin of error but enough to raise concerns

people who are either serve in the military or who are veterans have been traditionally considered to be more conservative voters to be those who will love vote the republican ticket but given the widespread outrage over what the president said in an hour and half what occasions he said these things really seems to have struck a nerve with people and so when you see advocacy groups that represent veterans in particular very quickly finding the money and finding the air time to put together commercials opposing what the president allegedly said according to the atlantic magazine it does give you pause is this going to be the thing that turns out to be as it were the achilles heel for the trump presidency while we're within 2 months of an election and every day is really enter turnitin in u.s. politics but certainly this is something that the president has been on twitter on saturday morning again trying to refute the last 48 hours certainly have not been

what one would think he would want them to have been 60 days left wow ok rosendo it and in virginia thank you now police in poland have broken up protests and arrested dozens of demonstrations these protests which have been going on since the death of george floyd in police custody back in may president trump dispatched federal agents to portland in july saying local law enforcement were incapable of stopping the on wrist so they were late 0 draw on. well so jonah says a journalist who's been following the protests in poland spoke to him earlier and he says people are getting ready for a big rally on saturday and so explains the impact president trump's comments are having on the city tomorrow is the 100 day mark and so there's 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 staff this many police officers the full night of the protests and staffing 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 send the run for president now when president 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 from seeing 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. and in rochester in the state of new york protests against police brutality continued into the night dozens of people are demanding justice after the death of a black man daniel proved in march he suffocated after being arrested by police officers put a mesh hood over his head and held him down for 2 minutes while he was handcuffed 7 officers have been suspended as a result. will sudan's government has declared a 3 month state of emergency because of weeks of floods that have killed nearly 100 people the river not as risen to levels not seen in a century and overall rates of flooding and rain exceed the records of both the 940 s. and eighty's 100000 homes have been badly damaged or collapsed entirely and half a 1000000 people are affected and i had a little brother go to our power operated equipment is not

a flawed are and there's a high possibility they won't operate again needless to say residents are all gripped with fear and panic we have not slept for days there were flies and mosquitoes are multiplying in huge numbers cholera may break out at any moment god forbid that's why we've planned an insecticide spring campaign more now with him or morgan in khartoum. government officials in sudan are to be eating the reasons behind the level of the nile river to multiple factors they say one of them is climate change which has resulted in heavy rainfall in the if you can high lands and that water eventually comes down stream in the blue nile through the blue nile which contributes to 80 percent of the rivers now we've seen the banks of the nile flooding with homes destroyed neighborhoods completely submerged in water and we've seen people getting displaced as a result so dams government after declaring a 3 month state of emergency has called an aid organizations to try to help those affected and those displaced by the floods now the other reasons that

meteorologists has resulted in the level in the rise of the national level are the number of dams that have been built on the nile river over the past few years we've got 3 in dams here in sudan we've got one on the sudanese egyptian border the aswan dam and there is the ground if you are not on them that is still being built on the ethiopian highlands. on the top of the if you can highlands the source of the blue nile river. mali's military has begun talks with opposition groups about a transition to civilian rule they're going to seize power last month when there's been under increasing international pressure to restore civilian rule the military's pledge to step aside after a transition period of 2 years now initially so 3 mollies long been plagued by instability violence between ethnic groups and corruption. still ahead on al-jazeera fighting to preserve their language protests in a chinese province where its feared mandarin is being promoted ahead of the local

mongolia. and rescuers in beirut still hold out hope of finding a survivor after last month's explosion. of. typhoon is now making its way towards a view q islands you can see a war going on is that system in this is of course that's going to make its way further north it's east a little bit in terms of those those waves but it's still a very powerful system this one currently with winds of around 195 kilometers per hour gusting significantly higher and it will continue to drive its way up towards q she was we go on through sunday around sunday morning making landfall just well just to the west of q she just staying offshore the strongest winds though on the eastern flank that will gradually then make its way

a little further north where it's sunday going on into monday that's from expected to reach south korea we're going to see that wet weather and that windy weather the storm surge the usual sub suspects possibility the likelihood of flooding coming in here is that system makes its way right across the korean peninsula see just how big that is lots of heavy rain and damaging winds for many but it will continue to weaken as i say lots of heavy rain coming into a good part of central india as well we see some very wet weather down towards the southwest with this little area of storms pushing some of the really wet weather towards carola towards kind of taka and gradually 100 russia. but. i'm steve clemons who i question how these days it's hard to filter. at the newly sinking track of what's really important piece the bottom line tackles the big issues this issue 80000100 stakes its people its economy and the way it deals

with the rest of the world the bottom line only on al-jazeera. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world and the matter when you cool hand luke leads to news and current affairs that matter to you. this is al-jazeera these are the top stories this hour before his in iraq are warning hospitals may lose control of the coronavirus operate in days more than 4600 new infections were announced on saturday it is lower than the record the rise of more than $5000.00 cases on friday. recorded infections of past 4000000 in india

now after the government registered a record 86000 new cases saturday in the another 3rd country to pass the 4000000 mark after the u.s. and brazil. and sudan's governments declared a 3 month state of emergency so weak so floods that have now killed nearly 100 people. a gas pipelines exploded in bangladesh killing at least 16 people it happened near a mosque juts just outside of the capital dhaka while worshippers were finishing prayers and dozens were injured with critical burns and firefighters and on best to get in the course. sri lanka's navy has had to tote an oil supertanker that's on fire off its eastern coast to stop it from drifting towards land the navy says there's no danger of a large spill for now when the fire is largely under control they've been trying to bring that fire under control since it broke out in the engine room on thursday one crew member was killed while 22 others were rescued that tanker carrying 2000000

barrels of oil thousands of women are back on the streets of the better russian capital minsk calling on president alexander lukashenko to resign deloris has been gripped by anti-government protests ever since last month's disputed presidential election look shanker denies opposition accusations that he rigged the polls to stay in office he increases western governments of actually conspiring against him search continues for possible survivors beneath the rubble of a collapsed building in beirut highly sensitive equipment detected signs of breathing and rescuers have so far dug 3 tunnels to the spot where the signs of life were picked up nothing found so far. as this report from near the search area . day 3 of the search operation a body has not been found neither has a survivor there was hope but what we understand from engineers is that. the possibility of finding someone alive is really unlikely it's been 32 days and it's

not just that this is the machines that the teams from chile used to detect signs of life they detected it in the 1st group the 2nd group as well as the stairwell they didn't find anybody there there's only one place left and that is the 3rd roof but there is no sign of life there there is a possibility that there could be a dead body but no sign of life according to this engineer he said the dog because it was a dog really that alerted the teams to start to start the search off operations gave people hope but at the same time what the dog did really was expose a dysfunctional system really in reference to how the lebanese authorities the state didn't even search this building in this neighborhood which was badly damaged during that massive explosion on august the force the no there's not. the machine. the machine. is in the get it 1st or 2nd group so there was

we had nothing there nevertheless will go to the extreme and forward capability and remove the 3rd and this gave us hope but it also made fun of all this is. an argument between serbia and kosovo to work on there are certain agreement to work on their economic ties that makes sense but it has left movement on political normalization on hold the deal brokered by the us is still being hailed as a major breakthrough but don't trump kosovo also said it will build relations with israel while serbia will move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem kosovo declared independence in 2008 that is not recognized by serbia. we showed resolve for problems there are still a lot of differences between us but this is a huge step forward we didn't speak about many items that we signed today for us it's very important that we are going to have a unified economic zone an entire western balkans which will bring us to the real

economic result for the benefit and for the sake of all our people. are thinking absolutely this is a great moment for kosovo and for the region i think we need a huge step forward toward for normalization of relations that should lead eventually to mutually good nation between the 2 countries we are fully committed to work together to improve people's lives create new jobs in the region. we'll hear from our correspondents from al jazeera balkans in the region in a moment of me on a 1000 priests. but 1st to market so but there in belgrade says while the president is happy with the deal opponents are skeptical. the position here says that this document is not in the interest of serbia and it won't benefit serbia but it also just benefits president trump during his political campaign elections because it was mentioned that serbia will move its embassy from jerusalem to israel in kosovo

we'll have some political ties with israel palestinian ambassador here in belgrade said that if serbia do saw that it will be violation not just a violation of international law but why elation of friendship that between syria and palestine. the agreement reached yesterday at the white house is considered by a course of officials as historical and a huge step towards mutual recognition between kosovo and serbia however many in kosovo do not share that and to see as them. have been talking about normalizing their relations for close to a decade now for 4 european union has been mediating those talks and during all those years some 30 agreements were reached however many were not fully implemented some of those on phil commitments were transferred into the agreement signed

yesterday at the white house in the hope that they will be implemented before the meeting of all prime minister had the negotiations at the white house are all about mutual recognition between cost of oil and serbia now that hasn't happened so there is criticism from opposition for not the liberating the main achievement from these talks here in kosovo is considered mutual recognition of course of war with israel kosovo is recognized by more than $100.00 countries including european including united states and most of european countries and every new recognition is considered as accomplishment a 2nd survivors been found in the east china sea 2 days after a cargo ship capsized during a typhoon the ship went missing on wednesday 43 sailors and nearly 6000 cattle on only 2 other crew members have been found and one of them to life.
