i have a question to ask these days it's hard to filter out the newly sinking track of what's really important the bottom line tackles the big issues this issue united states its people its economy and the way it deals with the rest of the world the bottom line only on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian finnegan this is that he was live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. a cry for freedom refugees but out of the traps of the breakout of the last boss demands to be allowed to head from a land deal. joseph deluca. mind while
6:01 pm
down by a chair here the u.s. marks 19 years since the september 11th attacks. fears grow of water borne diseases following sudan's worst floods of a century. china and india agreed to disengage troops of the disputed border area after months of tense stand. out in school serena williams won becoming a record equalling 24th grand slam title of this year's u.s. open the american has been knocks out particularly on her anchoring the semifinals in new. hundreds of refugees on the greek out of the lesbo demanding to be allowed to leave and go to the mainland. they spent 3
6:02 pm
nights without shelter after a fire destroyed their camp food is in short supply of what was europe's biggest refugee camp the greek government will not allow them on to the mainland and is working to house them in tents on the board chartered ships let's take you live now to the camp i was there is john is that john what's the situation there right now. right now the demonstrations seems to peters out for the time being but it seems to be a recurring one as well so it may flare up again definitely the feelings of persistence among refugees here who want to be allowed to leave and at the moment that being denied it seems even basic comforts people who fled loria because because it was burned on tuesday and wednesday nights have now camped out here on avenues that runs through an industrial zone on the island and as you can see that bedding down
6:03 pm
on concrete pavements beside the asphalt there is a road block on either side of this section of the road both to protect and to protect the asylum seekers here from traffic and also to prevent them from leaving because the government wants them to stay here and to have their asylum cases heard out here because that way if any are rejected it is easier to deport them back to turkey but also because less most island has now become a vector for corona virus and it has fears that if these people are relocated to camps on the mainland then they may spread the virus there among refugee populations there is well this has in fact happened in the last year we've seen it happen in an account in the pipe anees which had to be locked down as a result so here they are although the government says it is providing them with food and water at the moment if not shelter some of them have told us that they haven't received any such consideration. maybe they are too far from the entrance
6:04 pm
of cut out the refugee camp it's the municipal camp the 2nd camp on the island which is still standing and it's just a kilometer away from where we are perhaps they haven't made the trek to that camp in order to be served with 3 meals a day but clearly the role of just tickle problems there is great hardship the weather is fine and that is a saving grace it means that these people can sleep out in the open for the moment but it also increases their physical and psychological discomfort hence the impetus to be allowed to leave to move on with their lives perhaps to go to the mainland or somewhere else in europe at the moment these people are really quite miserable all right john many thanks to john. reporting live from last boss. earlier 10 a you nations agreed to take in 400 unaccompanied minors from the morea camp
6:05 pm
germany and france say that they'll take in most of them because haitians are going on with other countries. already finance and organize. the media. for all the 400 unaccompanied minors who are already involved in greece. who'll i'm very proud one ounce of the german garments will be able to locate in our members its journey is from the open society european policy institute she thinks that what's happening at last boss exposes the failure of the e.u. as approach to dealing with refugees. then you have basically decided that all people arriving secure protection in europe from turkey will be confined and basically locked really particular on the kind of. answer that is
6:06 pm
a priority choice and it's thanks from the parents the idea is that if you create conditions that are similar things most people will stop coming to your unfortunately. people still seek safety in europe as they bite you should and transnational although it has lowered the use standing in the world and in japan who want from any continued from a moral human right from a practical point is you well stop the people rising so the only solution is for the people to get out to each and other european countries what the u.s. and the states have been doing so far as you prioritize the children right. now is not the evacuation it's very vulnerable people but the problem is broader than that the children are basically being used as window dressing as we can hardly you can say they're living up to thank you right obligation by ensuring the children thank
6:07 pm
you carol but nobody is taking care of the others. now i was in abysmal conditions and happy for long time including children with their families but also many other almost choked highs in the numbers now more that they would be perfect the knowledge of the situation is currently have a structure has been created such will what. you were not something about was stricken country which is incapable of mattick in a few 1000 refugees we're talking about european union and despite that it is not a continent i'm under the bridges cobden to walk. the lead perfectly capable. of the influx you name it and that's what should be happening now. this is the news on from al jazeera still to come on the program it was once a covert 19 epicenter will take you to new york as it begins to recover after the coronavirus pandemic. mass evacuations unprecedented damage u.s.

6:09 pm
coronavirus pandemic president trump has all of the victims of the site of the flight $93.00 crash passengers and crew aboard that aircraft forced back against 4 hijackers as it was flying over pennsylvania the plane crashed into a field all those on board died. there dame sending their stories are forever inscribed on the eternal roll call of american heroes today we pay tribute to their sacrifice and we mourn deeply for the nearly $3000.00 precious and beautiful so those who were taken from us once ember 11th 2001. have doubts was there was kristen salumi who's in new york kristen and what way to the commemorations differ this year to previous years. as. the show commemoration is actually taking place about all this along the way from
6:10 pm
here at the official site of the 911 memorial and museum or where the twin towers actually once. but only 911 family members and some selective officials are being allowed to take part in that ceremony and it looks different than it has a hero scouts there's no stage set up no one for the reading of the names of the victims more than 2700 of them leaders who lost their lives on that fateful day 19 years ago now here and the fact that the names would not be reza lied and said they are being. put out over a loudspeaker loudspeaker on a recording of those that really did not sit well with a lot of 911 family members who live taping the dow to never forget as a montra and the reading of the names of everyone here has been such an essential part of that for them that they staged what you're seeing behind me here on the motivational summer movie nor going to see
6:11 pm
a shooting that was established by the brother of a fallen firefighter called the tunnel to tower association i am rather it set up this event social distancing is in place are required to wear masks and so they felt that this could be done safely to continue the tradition and honor the people who died that day and they know certainly seen many of the. comments from the stage to show that this is still very much a very important and very emotional traditional in the kind of families we saw president trump honoring those who died in the flight 93 crash what else is happening around the country today. that's right so president. and his democratic rival by. president joe biden will be in pennsylvania for the commemoration ceremonies there vice president biden actually was here in new york earlier this morning at the official ceremony as other politicians have been the
6:12 pm
vice president hence also took part in the official ceremony but interestingly to appear at this not officially banned and came before the crowd here with his wife and read from the bible and that seemed to popeyes think it was appreciated by a lot of the families here that he did take part sad. but again to focus not on politics on the many who sacrificed to our i'll just ask kristin salumi reporting live there from new york christen many thanks indeed 19 years on the 5 man accused of planning the attacks still waiting for that trial to start in jordan reports now on why the case still hasn't gone before jury. so ron. every year relatives of the nearly 3000 people killed on september 11th 2001 gather to speak their names. but 19 years later these families still haven't heard a verdict in the trial of those who are allegedly responsible for planning the
6:13 pm
attacks joe connor lost his cousin stephen slug when the world trade center collapsed i know that if the members want to be able to testify at the trial and at sentencing should they be convicted and i think that's a huge part of this is allowing the families to go to go down and even if it's just at sentencing be able to express how they feel 5 men including the self described mastermind khalid shaikh muhammad were arraigned in a u.s. military court in may 2012 but their trial still hasn't started the $911.00 victims did and the families of the victims and the country at large need to have this trial because there is a a healing a closure a sense of the narrative that is usually had in a trial and that's one of the reasons we have trials. in 2002 the administration of george w.
6:14 pm
bush decided that suspects in the attack would be detained and tried not in the united states legal system but at the u.s. military base at guantanamo bay cuba years later efforts by the obama administration to move the trial to a federal court in manhattan set off a public uproar and that led to congress's banning any transfer of the suspects to u.s. soil for any reason including trial and imprisonment and we're going to load it up with some bad dude split what president donald trump valid to filled want taught him a with really bad people and spite efforts to reach plea deals to end the 911 trial early while the trial had been scheduled to start in january 2021 the covert 1000 pandemic has put everything on hold some relatives have tried to seek justice on their own by suing the saudi government for providing support to the 19 hijackers late on thursday night a federal judge handed the families
6:15 pm
a key victory they can call as witnesses in the upcoming trial several saudi officials including the former saudi ambassador to the united states prince bandar bin sultan we wake up on a beautiful day and by the end of day you know your husband is gone and father of your children is dead and you want to know how it happened why and him and the beginning the bush administration told us there was no state sponsors of the attack and that simply is not true we were lied to from the beginning joe connor says what matters most is making sure his cousin and so many others didn't die in vain on september 11th it brought a lot of joy to a lot of people and and. he deserves a lot. and making sure the public continues to remember these women and men 19 years after their lives ended much too soon muslin jordan al-jazeera
6:16 pm
19 years i'm sorry wrong script iran russia and china have dismissed allegations by tech giant microsoft that they're trying to spy on the u.s. presidential election campaigns of donald trump and joe biden the tech company warned some of the activity was linked to the same russian hackers who intervened in the 2016 u.s. election china's foreign minister said that china has never meddled in u.s. affairs or russia called the allegations unsubstantiated iran dismissed the report as ridiculous let's go of that of the white house white house correspondent kimberly hellcat is there for us a complete tell us more about this. yeah well the report coming from microsoft is very consistent with what u.s. intelligence agencies have been saying for some time we already know that there is conclusive evidence that russia intervened in the 2016 hacking most notably of the
6:17 pm
democratic party e-mail system and of course that affecting democratic presidential nominee hillary clinton rather significantly well now the conclusion coming from not just the government but the latest private sector report microsoft is that it's happening all over again and it's not just russia as you point out it's also china it's also iran now what we're hearing is that this time it is both republican and democratic party members as well as potentially some policy groups that are working in europe at least in the case of the russian hacking and again it is the same russian hacking group from 2016 that appears to according to microsoft be at it again with a consistent pattern and also using brute force attacks now in the case of china what we're hearing from microsoft is that at least one person in the buying campaign has been affected by these e-mail account hackings and also one former top administration official and in the case of iran there is an attempt it is according to microsoft to log into the accounts of
6:18 pm
a trump administration official or officials now as you point out all of these nation states have denied in that this is occurring calling it absurd calling it inadmissible but at the same time what we're hearing is once again a report from the private sector we've also had just last week facebook saying something similar and then google announcing that they were hacking the temps taking place and that this was something that was happening as recently as last month and is still continuing so when you look at it in totality adrian these reports from the private sector are consistent with the reports coming out of all the u.s. intelligence agencies even as these nation states make these very profound denials a white house correspondent complete hell could be borderline for washington could be many thanks to. u.s. secretary of state mike compare says the talks between afghanistan's warring parties are likely to be contentious but of the only way forward if decades of
6:19 pm
conflict or to end they go see a sions between the afghan government and the taliban a few to begin on saturday it's the next stage of a peace deal brokered by washington with the taliban in february the process has been delayed by a drawn out prisoner exchanges in kabul which was a precondition to the talks. and i'm mindful of how difficult this conversation will be among the m.p.'s but it's theirs for the taking of their country. to figure out how to. work and make it better life left in their series of. made every effort to. run the market to produce a. condition executing their obligations that it remains a very clear about their responsibility to terrorist activity take place in afghanistan that is plotting against external external operate particular great.
6:20 pm
india and china have agreed to deescalate tension days off the shots were fired across that disputed border for the 1st time in 45 years foreign ministers support holding talks in moscow in june 28th indian soldiers were killed in hand to hand combat the chinese troops in the lock region it's not known how many chinese so choose. well a 5 point plan includes existing border agreements new delhi and beijing have agreed to quickly disengage the use of firearms along the border is already bars both sides are committed to continue talking through diplomatic and military channels and to speed up the so-called trust building measures our correspondents are covering the story from both india and china in a moment we'll hear from katrina you who's in beijing but 1st elizabeth for a lot of reports from new delhi. there's been no official reaction from the indian government to this agreement yet but we know that the defense minister is holding a meeting with the national security advisor with the chief of defense staff and
6:21 pm
with the chiefs of the army the navy and the air force to discuss the situation on the border in the meantime this agreement to deescalate has been met with a lot of skepticism in india by independent experts who say that the agreement is lacking any operational details on how the military. we are going to disengage exactly and the skepticism is because although the foreign ministers meeting was the highest face to face highest level face to face meeting between the 2 sides since the current standoff began in may there have been many rounds of talks on many levels always ending with the egremont to deescalate and yet despite the talks taking place we saw the worst tensions between the 2 countries in june when 20 indian soldiers were killed those were the 1st deaths in 50 years and despite both countries defense ministers meeting on friday and agreeing to deescalate we had both sides just
6:22 pm
a few days later earlier on this week accusing each other of firing warning shots in the air for the 1st time in she 5 years and so everyone here is very much waiting to see what if anything comes out of the defense ministry meeting that's taking place. china's foreign ministry released a statement reiterating some of the comments from one the the foreign minister and these were very positive overall he said that china and india should stop viewing you to others competitors and work more closely as partners they should stop this atmosphere of confrontation and really start to cooperate and also build mutual trust rather than suspicion he also said that china india and relations were at a crossroads and there was no obstacle that either side couldn't overcome and working more closely together when it comes to chinese state media the meeting was also very much lauded had a picture in the front of the global times chinese state media newspaper of the chinese indian foreign minister along with the russian foreign minister but in terms of chinese state media that's where the friendly tone in this paper at least
6:23 pm
stopped there was much skepticism instead expressed with the global times editors saying that the implementation of this 5 point consensus really depended on india being able to keep up its side of the bargain and otherwise unless india followed through this would be little more than what he called paper talk. this wind of this torrent at least really is in line with what we've heard from beijing's foreign ministry of the past few weeks and chinese state media being quite aggressive saying that china would not hesitate to defend its sovereignty and also that india should be careful because essentially india's military is norm that for china but one interestingly did say in a statement also that there was a sense of urgency in terms of both sides having to create actions in order to prevent any further skirmishes including what he said was disengaging contact at the border and pulling back any crosswind personnel but at the same time we've seen some mismatch mixed messaging also from chinese state media with with reports of
6:24 pm
chinese troops really building up their presence on the border drones being flown in a special operations troops being parachuted in as well so we'll really have to watch closely to see whether china removes or at least pulls back some of those troops as a result of this 5 point plan being announced steve saying is a political scientist he says the both countries are moving ahead in the right direction. what we are seeing really is the recognition on the part or senior people matched of both countries how very dangerous the situation has demanded and there will they want you found ways to east that tension but reality is we manged a situation and. emotion remains from very high on both sides in terms of their military personnel at the border region and so the fact that if ministers are talking doesn't necessarily means is situation on the. who
6:25 pm
and if the situation on the ground that's not a. risk remains all a potential onion can do it escalation i think which side is a more aggressive one really is somewhat besides deponent i don't think either as i has been particularly well behaved in the last confrontation i think the fact that the chinese have been very very cautious in the easing that casualty figures which suggest that a public release of a higher casualties than the indians and that would make the military on the chinese i'm very uncomfortable and the fact that the commander of the in india but county and was killed in the last hand to hand combat also means that the indian troops are very emotionally involved so i don't think we are going to see that on the military to military talks being very effective waterborne diseases are
6:26 pm
a growing threat in sudan following the worst flooding in a century at best 100 people have died 100000 homes destroyed or damaged the river rose to its highest level since records began al-jazeera morgan reports from khartoum. sudanese officials are reporting that the water from the nile river is receding gradually and that they expect the levels to return back to what they see is normal within the coming 2 weeks but the concern right now is the amount of stagnant water that has gone into neighborhoods into villages into areas where people are residing their concerns of water borne diseases medics have been reporting an increase in the number of cases of the horrors here and they say that people have been complaining about. watery diarrhea and they're concerned that there will be cholera especially because of the poor drainage system that most of these areas have had prior to the floods now the other concern is the economic

it is good to have you with us hello adrian forget here in doha but the news out from al-jazeera the headlines protesting refugees that are not in permission to leave the greek island of less bossom goes to the mainland 1000 spent another nights without shelter after fires destroyed europe's largest refugee camp earlier this week. but morial service is being held in the united states on the 19th on a verse 3 of the $911.00 attacks almost $3000.00 people were killed and hijacked airliners were floated to the world trade center in new york the pentagon of washington and other crashed in pennsylvania. and waterborne diseases are a growing threat in sudan following catastrophic flooding the worst floods in a century of led to the deaths of at least 100 sudanese and destroyed or damaged 100000. before u.s.
6:36 pm
police officers charged in connection with the killing of george floyd a back in court the black american died during his arrest in minneapolis one of the offices knelt on his neck for almost 9 minutes floyd's death in may spark continuing protests both in the u.s. and in other countries against police brutality and racial discrimination live out of chicago al-jazeera john hendren is following the story for us from one of the defendants seeking. well the defendants are seeking separate trials they want to change of venue meaning they want the trial moved away from minneapolis due to all the publicity they want the trial dismissed based on the suggestion that george floyd had fentanyl in his system a potentially lethal dose of that strong drug that will not be decided today by the judge and they want an anonymous jury they want the jurors to be numbered so that
6:37 pm
nobody knows who they are the prosecution opposes them on all of those counts when it comes to separate trials that says a sticky question because it least one of the officers says he plans to blame derek chauvin chauvinist the man whose name was on george floyd's neck for nearly 9 minutes until he died and so the argument is that they'll have integrity to stick defenses and it doesn't make sense for them to be tried together the state is saying no that's too complicated you're going to make the witnesses all testify 4 separate times that will be inconvenient and the stories will change between different trials so all of those questions are going to come up today we're not necessarily going to get answers to those the judge will likely take the entire day or a good portion of it to consider those points and then we'll come back with an answer later the big question is would he dismissed the cases entirely based on the
6:38 pm
suggestion that george floyd would have died anyway due to that the drug overdose and now that that's what the defense is arguing in this case that one of those officers interestingly enough says he was just standing there manning the crowd he wasn't even paying attention to what was happening behind him so his argument is that he should not be included with this group at all but the judge will hear all of those arguments and as this is happening there are dozens of protesters outside sometimes chanting sometimes laying down in the street in silence but all of this and supportive of george floyd in one of the many protests we've seen since he died john how could this trial affect the protests. well it is likely not to affect them in the sense that they're going to go on across the u.s. because there are so many cases since that we've had the jacob blake case in
6:39 pm
wisconsin which happened after the george floyd case and sadly these cases keep coming up where african-americans are either shot and were killed by police and that's just continuing to motivate these protests but what would anger the protestors in minneapolis would be that if charges were dropped or if all 4 of these officers watch we found here in chicago in the case of a man named mcdonald who was shot in the back 16 times by police here. that video didn't come out for more than a year and we found that when those officers were convicted there was an increased sense of calm in the community the protests remained peaceful after that but before that they were getting pretty raucous so the way that that trial is conducted can really affect how the protesters react in the streets how does the head of reporting live from chicago joe many thanks to libya's rival factions have agreed

6:41 pm
israel shelving plans to addicks parts of the occupied west bank and that's prompted protests from leaders of illegal settlements but many of them could end up benefiting from the deal as a serious harry force of reports when benjamin netanyahu didn't follow through on his promise to annex illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank some in the settler movement called it betrayal but as the contours of israel's deal with the u.a.e. come into focus others believe it could end up being a bargain animal or as farm herbes and date since coming to the jordan valley in 1905 she was never pro an exception but she is interested in normalization. we want the normal lie. lie. reason this was not important for us the very. reason is with the deal ending the u.s. embargo on israel mellows in talks about exporting her product and sharing
6:42 pm
agricultural techniques developed for a hot arid climate. the local mayor who heads the settler yes accountable has accused israel's prime minister of betrayal for suspending an exception but even he says in some ways it's been a win for avoiding any commitment to a palestinian state and for the prospect of formalizing a hidden trading relationship sent to countries. specially dates but out mark mark. it already happened now we. did joy. for the palestinians appealing to members of the arab league this week the deal remains a reward for entrenched in the occupation over who will be not given issue we stopped an exception with our brave position along with everyone who rejected this policy or you know that israel has decided to move from overt an exception to quite
