'd protests turned violent again and bill russo ahead of a meeting between president. and russia's vladimir putin. hello from doha and i'm kamal santamaria with the world news from algiers. japan's governing party has a new leader which means you're here so there is now on track to become the next

prime minister. also in the news the future of social media at tick tock still uncertain but there are reports of a deal that could satisfy the united states government. strong winds threatening the efforts to battle wildfires in the northwestern united states get a live update from california. we'll start with the news out of japan where the governing party has elected its new leader to succeed. is a longtime ally of the outgoing prime minister the liberal democratic party's leadership vote now paves the way for suger to replace in a parliamentary vote this week. is japan's longest serving prime minister he resigned last month for health reasons. well nobody as we faced

a nationwide crisis of the krona virus hope araik we cannot have a political gap we need to overcome this challenge in order for every single person in japan to have a safe and stable life i need to proceed with what prime minister abbott has been working on and move it forward i believe this is my mission. robin broad is following this story for us from seoul and this was a foregone conclusion for your shahid a super ever since of a announced that he was standing down he has been the air of power and he has always been right hand man serving for nearly 8 years as the chief cabinet secretary very loyal and so this was a obvious choice and he does share the same conservative beliefs shinzo abbay in particular things like the makes this conservative fiscal policy to try to revitalize the japanese economy also the view of trying to change japan's position on the world stage to become more assertive so he is expected to faithfully carry

forward those policies but there is a real difference in style between the 2 men because of course a was far more charismatic he's from a political dynasty going back generations in japan by contrast sukar although he's been a fixture on the political landscape for years he is far more low key far more pragmatic as he said in himself in his acceptance speech his background is an agricultural one he is from a family of strawberry farmers but saying that he has now rode risen to the highest political position in the land which is likely to be confirmed on wednesday with a special meeting of the lower house of the diet japanese parliament. now to build a room where the embattled leader is seeking help from his longtime ally russia to stop the protests against him this is of course alexander lukashenko who's in the russian city of sochi holding talks with president vladimir putin their meeting

comes as faces a 5th weekend of protests at home and mounting international pressure to step down a bit of its interior ministry says it arrested over 700 people on sunday but the crackdown has not stopped people from coming out and rallying is the team this hour we will be with alex. in moscow in a moment stopping that would step fasten in minsk when you bring us up to date with the situation there i mean we saw your reporter earlier when you were out in amongst the big protests on sunday what's been the result of all that. well the result is that the ministry of interior affairs has announced they have detained 774 people on sunday so this isn't a huge number of course many of them have been detained before the rally even started when the small groups appear on the streets people dressed in the

masks police men rush into the streets they snatch people here and there when the crowds get bigger they sort of stay away and then after the crowd to disperse the same thing happens so in that situation hundreds have been detained they have been brought to several detention centers and police stations actually nobody knows exactly where they are even their relatives have no idea what normally happens is they will face trial for attending an unsanctioned rally the prosecutor's office here has just announced that children who have been taking part in these are mass rallies and there are quite a number of children taken by their parents during these protests that they will run the risk of being taken away from their parents so this is another firm and strict measures that the your forty's are imposing on the protesters right now and this is all coming ahead of this meeting that is currently on the on the way inside

she between look and put in and of course has a very bad bargaining position after this huge mass rally on sunday which he was trying to keep the numbers low of but clearly failed and put in is willing to give this support but this will be in an exchange for a high price and that's something that we will need to wait and hear from sochi what will this price be that look has to pay to put it ok thank you step dance and in minsk no alexander concern of it's called for in moscow he can maybe tell us a little bit more about what the price will be the russians vow to be putin and so is it will come in if we need to if necessary if the situation gets bad enough is it getting bad enough. well you see as a step so there will be a high price to pay for getting this support from from putin and look at shankly is

a man with a very limited options at this point and now with this protests continuing is not making his negotiating chances any better now indeed the russia said if the red lines are crossed we will interfere we have the unit of reserve law enforcement's ready whether that line is crossed or not is actually based on a point of view we saw that the protesters are actually peaceful and that the violence and the brutality comes from the police and army on the streets of belarus now these points are something that russia chooses to in a certain sense ignore saying this is the internal matter of belarus what they are also saying is that there is this external pressure from more mostly baltic states and poland so basically the neighbors of belarus are interfering in the meddling and they're saying this is unacceptable on the other hand russia doesn't want to

lose a better us as a country of influence and that's why they are siding with a look at this point and the prize that he might and the belorussians the pay might be this integration now it's the question of the level of integration russia repeats that they are not going to they're going to respect the sovereignty of the belarus other point is that they can tie them even more tightly financially because basically 40 percent of the belorussian for in depth is russia there is some money up for payments and there is talks of refinancing that's there so basically borrowing that more money from russia to pay them back which actually is a way to keep the belorussia under control with or without law question could there if there is such economical intertwines going on. so far there is no talk about sending troops. and that also might be not only because no red lines

are crossed but also because that can backfire to russia very easily and very harshly ok well hopefully we get some more information out of that meeting a little later alexander a story one of it's called for in moscow just while we've been speaking to alexandra i'm seeing here from the reuters news agency that the u.n. human rights council has agreed to hold an urgent debate on the situation in belarus there was a proposal from the e.u. brought to the human rights council and they have agreed there will be an urgent debate held on the situation in belarus ok let's move on the strong winds which are complicating efforts to battle catastrophic wildfires sweeping across the american west coast but these $33.00 people have died thousands of homes and businesses have been burned to the ground there are nearly $100.00 fires now burning across 3 states u.s. president donald trump is expected to visit the affected areas in california on

monday we're going to northern california now with jennifer bill clinton who is in chico in the north of the state jennifer good to have you with us early morning there tell us about the situation thanks yeah. well we are expecting critical fire weather to return today come all we have had some pretty nice weather over the weekend it's been breezy it's been a little cooler and it's given firefighters the chance to cut some containment lines i'm here at the north complex fire which has been an absolute catastrophe there have been 14 people confirmed dead and there are still about 7 people missing at this hour from this particular fire as you said there are so many fires burning 29 here in the state of california they expect that the new winds and the warmer temperatures today will really test those fire lines that they've cut they have about 26 percent containment on this fire meantime at least 33 deaths as you

said are blamed on the fires most of those in the last 2 weeks and over 4100 structures have been destroyed and we can tell you since the beginning of this year wildfires have burned over 3300000 acres in california nearly 1000000 acres in oregon with 500000 people evacuated there and more than 600000 acres burned in washington state it boggles the mind the numbers on these fires and the amount of smoke and just bad air that's that's hanging over the whole state of california as president trump lands at the state capital later on this morning to be briefed and to speak with national guards men and their families right conscious jennifer of making this political when there is clearly a lot of human suffering going on but president trump is going to visit the area and he has been in some ways critical of the way that california managed its well

it's forest management which he believes is lead to all of this. and california has snapped right back the governor of the state and also the mayor of los angeles saying you know it's not about raking the forest says was joked about widely few years ago but what has been true is that the president has continually started this conversation about forest management and that being the cause of the fires and you know some of the governors have acquiesced a little bit yes of course we need to do more forest management but it is also climate change that is leading to all this crazy weather that is making all these fires much more difficult to fight. from n.b.c. news in the united states that is jennifer bill clinton in chico california very early as they are so great to talk to there thank you. now the beijing based

company by dance is reported to have abandoned the sale of its video app tick-tock in the united states to pursue a partnership with the u.s. tech firm oracle this is coming from state media in china by dan's had been under pressure to sell after president donald trump threatened to bar the app on security grounds analysts say the decision will avoid a u.s. ban while still satisfying beijing microsoft earlier announced by downside refused its off well to talk launched only 3 years ago is the international version of a chinese that called the year in and of since racked up 2000000000 downloads it's had problems though with regulators not just in the u.s. india banned it in june in the border tensions with china the e.u. has raised concerns about privacy as well and then in july donald trump said he'd be shutting down tick tock citing national security risks but then later suggested it could keep operating if it was bought by an american company we spoke to earlier

a technology analyst co-host of the china take investor podcast about this he says the future of a deal with the tech company oracle that's still far from certain as well. there's been some recent signals that beijing is not particularly happy with the oracle deal either and right now it does seem as though they're the 2 main players here are not oracle or microsoft or by dan but it is beijing and it is washington and that is where the decision will be made and right now it's they seem to be playing a game of chicken to copy the wildly popular platform so regardless of what company is behind it they'll still be able to have those users but one of the the it's up here has been that beijing has put export controls on the algorithms on really the key recipes that make take time though i mean it's like you know you can buy the rights to mcdonald's logo and you can make your own fast food but it's not going to come out like mcdonald's and i think that's kind of the issue is right now with

exactly that you don't have that special sauce behind it then you know you're not going to have the same kind of growth and retention probably and it's going to be far more far easier for us to grams or reals or trailer or one of the many many other short video apps overtake them. in the news ahead a new camp is being set up but still a dire situation for refugees trapped on a greek island. and why the mayor of colombia's council is calling for reconciliation of the protesters. hello there plenty of cloud and plenty of rain with this one across the philippines for the next few days you can see where the very thick cloud is that's where we've seen some of the heavier downpours but as this system stays very close to the philippines that's where we're going to see the very heavy downpours but it does

tend to drive all the rain to the north like most to characterise much of java even southern areas of borneo not seeing much rain over the next couple of days that is a say not much lesser really across the philippines so this could lead to some localized flooding meanwhile down into australia the southeast is the most clear and dry and of course feeling pretty good in the sunshine upon the slaves this is in the fall southeast of new south wales that people have been out and about enjoying the snow for weather conditions through tuesday wanted to coastal showers in new south wales but again the bulk of the country across the south is fine and dry quite a bit it can work its way across into queensland and in fact the club back in the forecast into western australia on wednesday some showers as well just really along those southern areas eventually working its way across the great bite but not making it the southeast a warm day in adelaide with a high of 25 a quite a fine and dry the across into new zealand both islands on cheese day but really it's going to be the south picking up the very heavy a persistent rain and again some heavy amounts of snow to the mountains.
