today sunday but they've been postponed for a year because of the pandemic his i dream an update from hong kong. some of the scenes you've just been looking at are reminiscent of what we saw a year ago but this was not on the scale of the protests of last september or ghost or june effectively what has happened here today as the police have managed to block a large planned demonstration and they did that by flooding the streets of the cow lupin instead area of nathan road up to 2000 police were deployed now that didn't stop small groups of people mingling with shoppers and chanting slogans in support of hong kong independence why does that matter well those actions that contravene the new national security lorem people who are doing not of course risk arrest as for what the demonstrators themselves feel they've achieved well we saw plenty of

individual acts of defiance on sunday and yes a lot of the protests to say our ability to stage large demonstrations have been curtailed but you know our voice has not been entirely silenced the reason why there was there was anger on sunday is this was supposed to be the day that the people of hong kong went to the polls but the government cancel those elections citing coded 19 opposition groups say the reason why the government council the election is because it knew that the pro establishment parties would face a severe dropping as they did during the local elections 10 months ago. with us now emily lau chairwoman of the international affairs committee of hong kong's democratic party she was previously a member of the lives that of council as well as a thank you for your time protesting during a pandemic and under

a new security law from beijing do you think it is effective was it effective today well i guess the hong kong people and the international community is should know that people are not going to if. they are very angry and then determine now we have. 19 independent social distancing. not more than 2 people at the reigning public at any time and with the national security you know all home growing over us but still you see these 100 students all people turning out and they have like 2000 or more police officers to try to stop the people so we're not going to stop and what we can for is justice what we call is democracy and we want the

bating regime to address 10. people just will not want to give me like a bad penny keep turning i have. but you do know the consequences now don't you i mean you can disagree with the security lower as much as you want in a lot of people do but the fact is it is law now and anyone who gets arrested under what will they know what the potential consequences are right. well true and these people but it's all on the streets they all know the band not afraid you can not just intimidate people into sight of what you should do is to engage them all that let's find a way out instead of beating them shooting at them you know the scene is i believe going to happen again and that now. what about the election side of things it was supposed to be a vote today and we know it had been postponed for

a year though do you anticipate that that could change that it could be brought forward at all or will that depend on as the authorities say covered 1000 situations i don't think they will bring it all the way inspect i was told that they didn't even want to put it date correct now they say it's next year and september. they didn't even water. they just one. thing it indefinitely because all that making and also because of the popularity of the pro-communist have so well we're brats i mean very surprised if the election in september makes it so the situation here is really very bad and they and the rest i think it. will all rest well or business i mean this really it matter must know when i've spoken to you in the past

and actually you said it again today in your very 1st answer you talked about the international community obviously you look for support from the do you feel you and the hong kong democracy movement gets that support or has it fallen off the international right down somewhat. well not at all i mean a you know the chinese foreign minister was he was in europe receiving aid is obtaining 'd 5 countries including germany. the lead and. no wait not getting a welcome at all and even the another guy on the floor in this committee a problem his father came to visit greece and spain i don't well i don't know what they can say all the short shrift but it seems a european country and lot of top happy and germany.

italy in no way they always call and some even say oh maybe we should give that nobel prize. that of course the chinese foreign minister no end but it was. all an out of the way that and i will or but i do think you're in asia in america in australia able cogging you to raise our call and i'm very grateful that they didn't wait and it may have been a rest me but making such was too bad but we certainly need the support of the international community it's very important. and the lao from the hong kong democratic party thank you for talking to us today we do appreciate it thank you military helicopter lifting injured people from the site of a wildfire is in california more than 60 people have now been rescued from the

shape of a lake area near the sierra national forest have been taken to hospitals in neighboring fresno county a drought and heat wave are fueling fires in the state. then you've got more than 800000 people have been ordered to leave their homes in southwestern japan as typhoon draws closer this is the 2nd powerful storm to hit the region in a week and some forecasts are predicting record rainfall and unprecedented wind speeds well for his of issued warnings to 5 and a half 1000000 people there north korea's leader kim jong un's visited some of the areas hit by the last storm that is typhoon may cyc state media says more than a 1000 homes were destroyed young rock provinces when the storm struck overnight on wednesday came called on people from the capital to help with recovery efforts let's have a look at what's coming up for you on this news india setting another record encoded 19 cases more than $90000.00 of them in

a day which is the highest daily rate reported anywhere. we've also found it while salvatore's popular president is accused of offering favors to imprisoned gang members this. and in sport of trying to wrap this around to level things out in the eastern conference semifinals at the n.b.a. it's got you support a little it's. been 2 news here least one person is reported to have been killed and another wounded in a stabbing attack that happened in the in the coastal city of 140 kilometers south of tunis the capital the national guard says it has killed 3 of the attackers. medical school graduates doctors and nurses have protested in iraq's capital over a lack of code 19 precautions and a lack of jobs iraq is witnessing

a surge in new cases a record 5000 new infections on friday the health ministry says hospitals are on the verge of losing control with these rising numbers let's talk to doso jabari in baghdad about this one i mean that was what we were talking about yesterday the losing control the spike in the numbers add on to that medical strides because of this situation and it just makes a bad situation worse. certainly it has the potential to become a disaster because there is already a shortage of medical staff and personnel working in the industry and that is one of the main issue is that there are now around 30000 health care workers that are sitting at home they're unemployed they're either recent graduates or they just don't have jobs and that is because the government says they don't have enough money to bring them on or to try and help find the fight the pandemic that they are fighting at the moment there are people we spoke to today at this protest the doctors say that one of the issues they have the ones that are working is that

there isn't enough of them they're short stuff for a vote one doctor treats about 1200 iraqis that's the ratio of doctors to the population and given the numbers that we're seeing here just in 48 hours there is nearly $10000.00 cases of covert 19 confirmed so there's really an overwhelming of the health care system already on top of that there's another issue that the doctors are dealing with that is they are coming under attack. from people that are left behind to people that have lost their loved ones to cope with 19 they're very angry that there aren't enough medical personnel to help the patients so there is a safety issue as well on top of that the people that have graduated say they don't have enough jobs the government is not doing enough we spoke to a young woman who graduated last year and she's been sitting at home since she graduated saying that she needs to do her residency in iraq the residency period is about 6 years and they want that to be reduced to one year so they can move forward

in their careers quickly so there is a number of issues and the union that that organized this protest saw people coming from across the country it wasn't just limited to baghdad and they said that they will give the government 48 hours and they will start a partial strike the doctors that are working the hospital slowly will go on strike and if by the end of the week their demands are not met if the government hasn't listened to them they will go on a full strike and that could possibly have really really dangerous consequences here but still keeping an eye on a very delicate covert situation in iraq right now thanks to. india as well in the spotlight it is again reported the world's highest single day tally of new infections on sunday more the 90000 cases the death toll has now surpassed 70000. due to government says this comes down to increased testing within 4000000 people there have now tested positive for covert 9 little bit earlier i

spoke to ramadan. who is the director of the center for disease dynamics economics and policy which is based in the united states research organization he told us india's true number of infections is actually likely much higher. so donna do studies in india indicate that we're probably undercounting cases by a factor of anywhere d n a 100 perhaps even more and keep in mind that the 4000000 cases that you see are reported cases these are not the true infections recruitment surveys would indicate that we're well about you know one of the people $100000000.00 infections true infections right now because most of the surveys show that anywhere between 20 and 30 percent of indians are already infected everyone knows that there are reported infections which is what you see in the media and reported by governments or the little infection group which is a function of you know many people getting infected and keep in mind the predictions we need work for

a situation where nothing would happen but in spite of that we are already in the hundreds of millions of actions and i think at this point it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle pretty much uncontrolled epidemic at this point the health system the public health system which is what is meant to test and isolate you know was hobbled by not having enough testing early on in the epidemic so that's been a continuing problem in there now has more than a 1000000 tests but many of these are and to do tests which are not very accurate now the health care system has been challenged in the urban areas but the disease is now in many parts of india where there are not hospitals or not private health care facilities and it's truly a challenge here because it's an invisible epidemic there are people dying but they're not getting counted or reported at this point in time and in a similar same mexico's official coronavirus death toll which is more than

$67000.00 that's the world's 4th highest but again the health ministry says they have also been or there have also been nearly 123000 excess deaths during the pandemic not necessarily covered deaths not really clear how many are linked but in another sign the numbers are much. higher than 1st thought several regional government offices have actually run out of death certificates and rights groups say a lack of protective equipment has led to more medical workers dying from the virus in mexico than anywhere else well on the other side of the pacific the lock down in australia is a coronavirus hotspot has been extended by another 2 weeks until late october the city of melbourne has been locked down since the beginning of august although a night time curfew has been shortened and gatherings of 2 people are to be allowed later this month with infections in the state of victoria where melbourne is account for most of the country's cases and deaths. there is only one option

and that is to do this in a series of steady and saif steps you can't run out of lock down because all you're doing is running into a 3rd wife and we'll all be locked up again i want to christmas that is as close to normal as possible and this is the only why the steps are the only way that we will get to that point international flights are resuming in nigeria's coronavirus restrictions are relaxed airports have been closed since late march the government initially said international services would resume at the end of august that move that was delayed domestic flights took off again in july. jenny's here with a look at the way the now i was talking about telephone you know wildfires a little bit earlier and i see absolutely no cloud i don't there's nothing any fact there's the most incredible heat wave in place they're looking in the u.s.

actually across much of the west the national weather service they reckon they could break $155.00 temperature records in the next 22 hours that is just how hot it is so let me show you this satellite and as you say come on look at this is just all these clear skies there is some weather across the northeast but certainly these wildfires that continue of course this is inland this is the sierra forest you can see just these massive blazes they are really struggling to contain these days as the heat is so intense well above the average for any time of the year less alone in the month of september so cool is what people are doing they're flocking to the beaches this is also in california to the south really just to the west of los angeles but look at this when i tell you about the heat you can see the red colors indicating just how warm it is how much above the average under these how much is $43.00 celsius in los songes the average is $28.00 it does call off by monday on into tuesday but then it is 4 calls to actually he said again san francisco similar scenario temperatures well above the average about 10 degrees 13 degrees above the average this is what i mean about the time which is going to be

broken over the next few days clear skies will continue now through sunday more of this rain across the midwest and then look at this is a line of rain it really pushes down from canada and it at the same time this really cold air pushes and we've got snow the could even be some record breaking snow in the rockies over the next few days so this cold air comes down look at what is the temperatures here look at this cast 31 it's a heat wave for sounds you find choose day 20 degrees below the average and then just one more to show you because they already quite staggering in denver a drop of 30 degrees in one day with snow coming in off to the sunshine. i mean i believe it doesn't make sense but i believe you're at the equipment again but it is incredible this whole def and what it's thank you jenny jenny harrison with weather from across the u.s. there. are now where presidents the president has been accused of offering favors to imprisoned members of a powerful crime gang in return he said to have asked them to reduce the violence

ahead of the midterm elections and i became i have denied the allegations as my mo rocca the now reports. images of prisoners in el salvador stripped to their underwear and kept in crowded prison cells or once again in the news on friday the salvadoran government allowed journalists to tour this supermax prison which houses members of some of the country's most notorious gangs and has in the past attracted criticism from human rights groups the prison tour appears to be in response to a recent report accusing the salvadoran government of negotiating with members of the emmis 13 gang to reduce violence in exchange for prison privileges all in an effort to gain political favor ahead of the upcoming midterm elections via twitter el salvador's president now you deny the accusations pointing to images of the prisoners lined up in rows in adding show me one privilege just one where we caught up with him last december the salvadoran president sat down with al-jazeera is james speaking specifically about the importance of reforming el salvador's prisons

we close communication in jail in the jails he had a wife wife cell phones computers everything and they were ordering the killings from the jails and so they were the headquarters of the gang this very much yes we were paying for their headquarters. in recent years el salvador has made significant gains in curbing violence on friday the ambassador tools solved or applauded the efforts of the federal government to. the reason the violence has been reduced is partially because of what the russian. president now e-book elice popularity room. means high and his relationship with u.s. partners is strong but the accusations of alleged negotiations with gang members are serious as m s 13 is regarded by both countries as a terrorist organization. and president said after el salvador civil war 30 years ago makes the law clear on who the government can and cannot negotiate with.

recognizing guerrilla fighters as political actors was fundamentally negotiating peace but the gangs is completely different they are not a political group the are a criminal group on the margins of the law and the state cannot negotiate with them . leaving gang violence has been a chronic problem in el salvador since the 1980 s. in nearly 4 decades on the president to ghana is not the 1st government official to be accused of colluding with these gangs for political gain el salvador's attorney general says he plans to investigate the allegations money will drop below al jazeera. it's a busy news hour we're only halfway through it coming up how a rebel army is making sure children are still going to school in manama despite a coronavirus ban as a closer economic relations between china and bangladesh but that is causing unease in india. and the new york islanders it's reason to celebrate something they haven't done for a while 3 decades in fact lee has got you sporting life. an

image can change the way we see the womb if we had not seen this week we'll be talking about it it can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created longing for a full opportunity that can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story but this play and the talking points for pretty intense before it can forge narratives or rewrite through the listening post gives you the full picture on. the u.s. is always of interest to people all around the world this has been going on for a number of hours with tear gas being used to fight back. to report tony for an international perspective to try to explain your global audience why it's important how this could impact their life at the height of the storm to look forward to

a high that would be done by hey this is an important part of the world people pay attention people are going here now does it is very good bringing the news to the world from here. oh. this is the news hour from al-jazeera and these are the top stories thousands of belorussian staging another march in minsk trying to keep the pressure on president alexander lukashenko who is responding with increasing force refused to quit weeks off the disputed elections and is turning to russia for help to stay in power. police in hong kong the 5 pepper balls and arrested at least 19 antigovernment protesters the demonstrations are against beijing's new security law also angry

united nations is warning flood levels not seen in a century in sudan are only likely to get worse in the coming weeks with above average rain predicted for the rest of september weeks of flooding of so far killed more than 100 people the government's had to declare a 3 month state of emergency 100000 homes have been badly damaged others simply destroyed since late july here's more from morgan in khartoum explaining some of the factors which are likely to blame scientists are saying that the current level of the standing at 17.61 meters is the highs that they've seen in at least a century and they're attributing that to the number of them that have been built. over the past few decades now the ground if you can as on to them could be one of the contributing factors they say that having an dam build and storing water in the reservoir of the dam can lead to more condensation and heavier clouds and therefore

more rainfall for the operations of the grand ethiopian renaissance that is not clear and nobody knows how they are dealing with the dam that they are still building but that they have partially filled let's go back to a few a couple of months ago when if you peons an ounce that they have began the partial feeling of the ground if you're in a zones them now that happened during rounds of negotiations and talks between sudan and downstream countries and egypt and if europea if you had been saying that it will filter down by mid july whether there was a deal or no deal sudan has been calling for a deal to be to be reached before the filling of the dam and egypt has been concerned about the impact of that dam on the nile river especially because more than 90 percent of its population depends on it but there has been no clarity from the if you're inside on how this dam is being operated when it was filled how long it took to be field how how will the gates be open so all of that is raising questions about what role this dam is currently playing in terms of the rise of

levels right now in the country. he says he has been accused of executions and forced disappearances of civilians during operations against armed groups the operation back in december followed an attack on the military by armed groups that killed at least 71 soldiers. and addresses in neighboring nigeria where security forces have also faced serious can accusations we've seen this scene play out across the region over the last 10 years remember in the early days of boko haram in nigeria we've seen how security forces react angrily to local residents following attacks on their convoy on their own troops so. it's all. painful episode in december last year when i saw linked fighters attacked the army barracks or you notice or ambush the convoy you notice more than

$71.00 people officially what reported to have been killed and then a month later in general he doesn't at least 25 officially have been confront of been killed but families of the victims say dozens more have been unaccounted for so civilian populations in all these regions from hooking up fossil marleen jerry unusual cameroon are actually in a very difficult position they are placed between a rock and hard police. the security forces on one hand accuse them of not cooperating with the government soldiers in fighting these armed insurgents and on the other hand the fighters the arm fighters are accusing them of call operating with the security forces. hundreds of refugees and migrants initially have been moved onto a ferry to relieve pressure on an overcrowded center for asylum seekers they were transferred off the island of lampedusa they will stay in quarantine for 14 days

there were concerns the spread of coronavirus could happen after an influx of migrant arrivals in july and orcus the campaign for new zealand's general election is underway after the dissolution of parliament it was marked with a brief ceremony in the capital wellington prime minister just into our journey has delayed the election by a month after the 1st coronavirus cases in 102 days were recorded in new zealand in august election day now set for october 17th we will not blink 1st that is the latest warning from the u.k. to the e.u. in their increasingly tense brigs that negotiations speaking to a london newspaper the lead british negotiator david frost said they are prepared to end the transition period with no trade deal member the u.k. officially left the e.u. back in january but serious disagreements remain between the 2 sides as the clock ticks down to the deadline on december 31st the latest round of talks starts on tuesday sun you're going to go with us from london now i'm going to be honest with

you sonia i didn't even know that briggs it was still going on it's been so quiet on that front obviously with everything else going on in the world. but while all that's been going on it seems not a lot has been happening in this process. you could be forgiven for thinking that c'mon but it's certainly back with a vengeance and why it's really because it's getting down to the last few months before they have to really sign a deal to be able to move forward into this new post breck's it world that the u.k. and certainly the british government has been promising will be a global britain full of opportunities but it is resting on 2 main issues and one of those is fisheries cause this was an issue that was made much of jury in the campaign that the u.k. needs to rest back control of its of its fishing industry when their accounts from minute bear percentage of its g.d.p. now what they are asking what the u.k.

is asking for the e.u. is to double its catchment that's going to affect the catchment of other coastal members there but it says it just simply wants to replicate the deal that norway has so that is one of the contentious issues there and of course the e.u. will be defending its own members interests the 2nd issue and this is the one which is really more important is the issue of state 8 now the u.k. or the e.u. is demanding that it has to sign up to the e.u. zone rules on state aid i cannot have any unfair advantages from state propped up companies because that would give it an unfair advantage with that the u.k. is bulking at that and is refusing to as it were state whether it will abate those rules or not it hasn't even published what its own state rules are but the issue is the fact that the prime minister's chief advisor dominic cummings wants to

reenergize the u.k. zone tech sector by pumping state funds into that that of course is a source of worry for the e.u. it has to consider its own members. or responsibilities. and it's competition rules as well all in all it's a lot of saber rattling of course just as it's about to go into these round of talks the u.k. wants to be seen that it is in control of this and that has the upper hand and they are prepared to walk away but the e.u. is looking at this almost with wariness thinking we've seen this before we've heard this before that it prepared to walk away in actual fact they think that perhaps they have the upper hand in this considering that the u.k. has a lot more to lose out by walking away from the table in the e.u. frankly has the interests of its own members to deal with especially in post pandemic economy so on your turn if this is a question which really has an answer yet but all personhood anyway what happens if there is no deal what happens if you get as far as december 31st and there is no

trade deal does it fall down to the u.k. having to do individual deals or just deal with individual european countries on a case by case basis. no it has to really the e.u. has to negotiate as a block where is the u.k. has to understand its having to understand this and is already putting plans in place or scrambling really to put pounds in place to try and prevent those and of course this is taking a lot of currency away from an already pandemic hit economy here in the u.k. the u.k. is having some been suffering one of the worst. hits to the economy during the coronavirus cunt demick it's having to prepare massive lorry parks it is having to scramble around for paperwork it's it's really putting an awful lot of pressure on all the businesses here as well as not to mention of course the issues with northern ireland to northern ireland in the cause and effect northern ireland is
