crisis and feel is generalism from around the world today student protest as i continue in the call of the predispositions for structural for the true change. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm not matheson this is the news our live from doha i'm coming up in the next 60 minutes breaking the rules over brags that the european union is launching legal action against the u.k. . this draft. by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith and laid down in the withdrawal agreement . they say it's not the time to talk on media and azerbaijan ignore the calls for

a cease fire and the toll months. dozens of people arrested in hong kong as thousands of police tried to stop pro-democracy protests on china's national day. another woman's gang raped in india is growing over sexual violence. and i'm peter similar this board is the l.a. lakers take an early lead in the n.b.a. finals they comprehensively beat the miami heat in game one as the heat's 3 based players pick up injuries. well britain's long and painful exit from the european union may just have got a whole lot more complicated in the past hour the european union has announced it's launching legal action against the u.k. over plans. the breach parts of the brags that agreement that says

a bill now before the british parliament would violate international law when it comes to trade rules in northern ireland by mr boris johnson has admitted it breaks the rules but says it's necessary to protect jobs and the integrity as he says of britain's internal market this was european commission president ursula vonda lane well short time ago as you know we had invited our british friends to remove the problematic parts of their draft internal market bill. by the end of the timber. this draft bill is by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith and laid down in the withdrawal agreement moreover if adopted as it is it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of ireland northern ireland. the deadline lapsed yesterday. the problematic

provisions have not been removed. therefore this morning the commission has decided to send a letter of formal notice to the u.k. government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure. the letter invites the u.k. government to send its observations within a month. and besides this the commission will continue to work hard towards a full and timely implementation of the withdrawal agreement we stand by our commitments well donna keynes in the german capital we're going to get more on the european union's case in a moment 1st let's go to paul brennan in london whilst this announcement was being made by ursula vandelay michael gove the brags that secretary u.k. was basically saying that negotiations were carrying on as normal but one would imagine that this is going to put additional pressure on the u.k. . i mean the 2 aspects of this are the

trade negotiations with talk continuing in brussels at the moment this 9th round of trade negotiations to try to come to a post deal and resolve the transition period with a deal and the transition period with a deal and the internal markets bill which the british government says is an insurance policy if the european union decide to take what they perceive government regards as an extreme and separate station all of the northern ireland protocol and start to put barriers trade barriers across the irish sea preventing the free trade essentially between northern ireland and the mainland if you case that said the. the way that esteve on the land laid out that saying we stand by our commitments is a very pointed criticism of the u.k. government stance given that the u.k. government has admitted that this internal markets bill which is proceeding through parliament behind me will take a while but is proceeding will in some specific and particular way break

international law and that is horrified the international community community particularly the european union because it that they're saying look we made these this dealing good faith this withdrawal agreement and you are unilaterally willing to to rip it up they gave the british until yesterday the end of september in order to withdraw that piece of the proposed legislation the british government did not instead they had a vote and they pushed it to the upper house it will you know bounce around in the upper house for a while so it's not a done deal yet but it's clear that the european union had to do something to make their point they simply couldn't let this lie and couldn't let it let it go on it won't detail the trade talks they will continue and you know it's pessimistic but there is still a possibility of a trade deal being done but this will run in parallel and it certainly does cast a shadow of some sorts over the negotiations paul thanks for that update that's paul brunner live for us in london let's go to dominate cain who's live for us in.

on this as we heard just a few moments ago dominic was a very terrace very short and as paul just described it bring pointed statement from ursula van dellen and she took no questions after the statement either. yes calculated words clearly she and her colleagues had formulated what they wanted to put across publicly to the british government about their position because clearly the british government has known their position we are not privy to what goes on behind closed doors so what they've said to us the waiting world as it were is that they've had enough that they believe that their good faith is clear and that they want to see the same from the united kingdom government that they believe they have not seen from the united kingdom government remember also that the european union negotiated as a bloc of $27.00 countries and that the european union is obviously concerned more

by the fate of its 27 member states than it is by the fate of the member state that left that's the u.k. and of course the european union has to protect the interests of the republic of ireland because it is the public of ireland and northern ireland that particularly difficult issue that has really riven these negotiations and of course the european union has to work on behalf of ireland and so that's why they are saying now no because of the lack of good faith they've been even by that i mean people such as us enough on the line people such as shall we share the presidents of the 2 european institutions that really matter in this particular negotiation well they're saying no we had enough we have to start some kind of way legally to get redress but the problem here is if the united kingdom decides to go come what may what can the e.u. really do where will this legal action go it started the 1st step this morning the question is what the last step might be and that's not clear so far donna this is

happening on a day when you're meeting new leaders are having a shadow meeting in brussels no obviously brags it is going to be on that agenda there's going to be a whole bunch of other stuff as well just talk us through what that's going to be. no question that brags that what's just happened this morning is clearly uppermost in people's minds but it's only one particular part of what they are discussing lots of different intra e.u. institutional wranglings about policy and that sort of thing but then external policy is going to be a particular issue not just briggs it but there are other disputes around the european your asian part of the world that are particularly germane there's the situation regarding cyprus greece and turkey the eastern mediterranean which we know is all to particular concern the greeks and the cypriots obviously part of that the heads of government heads of state this week saying course the turks will not speak and then there is the situation that has been going on now for the past

few days in the goal of no cut about regarding armenia and azerbaijan of course those 2 countries are not part of the european union and yet the european union does have an interest in what is going on there and there could be no doubt that e.u. leaders heads of government heads of state as i say will want to talk about what the e.u. can do from its perspective regarding the situation in those countries how it can help to resolve what's going on in those 2 countries don't obviously very often does come out of that in your meeting we're going to be coming back to you but for now dominic cain and balance thank you very much. ok let me take you to our other top story and the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan are resisting growing international pressure to end their conflict over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh french president among on the island russia's vladimir putin have joined calls for a cease fire a civilian and military casualties mount now we're going to be live in both armenia

and azerbaijan in a moment but 1st this from robin for us here walker. this is nicole and karabakh deadly new war films by new site am on the armenian frontlines. you can hear the sound of a drone. soldiers desperately trying to shoot down a median forces have dug in but as a by john says this war will end only with the return of the disputed territory. the cost of that war so far the numbers of azeri dead and wounded is a secret known only to the is there a leadership. that we have only one condition armenia must leave our lands if the armenian government complies with this agreement the fighting will stop there will

be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to our region these images show what armenians defense ministry claims is one of its fighter aircraft shot down by a turkish f. 16 over armenian airspace. on wednesday army went even further it accused turkey of actually controlling aerial combat operations a charge as a by john in turkey both strenuously deny but turkey certainly gives moral support to what it sees as its turkish speaking brother in arms that is a dangerous game says president emanuel mccrum of france another mediator between the 2 sides. as you are at this stage i remain extremely cautious but we know it's an extremely volatile situation that said i have noted turkey's political declarations in favor of azerbaijan which i think are inconsiderate and dangerous france as part of the minsk group which requires the impartiality which explains my

caution remains extremely concerned by the warlike messages coming from turkey in the last few hours which essentially remove any of us or by john's inhibitions in reconquering the garneau card and now we want to accept. more men gather outside conscription offices to sign up for battle what does it is that is know there is no fear and country needs us will go as far as necessary for our country. many of these reservists went even born when azerbaijan lost karabakh to armenian separatists in the 1990 s. now they're on their way to fight for a land medians and desire holds the coffee we were waiting for this day i hope will liberate karabakh i hope all our soldiers return safely. these are the hellish conditions they will face on the front. high tech heavy weaponry with old fashioned trench warfare. that

shows no sign of relenting. robin 1st year walka al jazeera tbilisi. so in cosi on those in azerbaijan is capital back who 1st let's go to armenia bernard smith is in bernard robin was just describing the situation in the phasing as being modern warfare high tech warfare in trench conditions just bring us up to date with what the latest is in the going to come back this one. well the latest we're hearing from the armenian side is that offense ministry says they shot down an israeli and azeri helicopter that crashed into iranian territory they are meeting and say there was no intention against the iranians there but that's where the helicopter crashed otherwise they say overnight it has actually been quiet in nagorno-karabakh fighting started as we know on sunday but in the

main part of the car back it was a stance of belief the one of the quiet and eyes they've had since last sunday. talk us through the diplomatic elements of this paranoia because of course on the outskirts of this there has been at least some attempt to try to find a diplomatic solution but is there any sign from the media that they're interested in any sort of cease fire. there have been attempts at a cease fire that have been called should we say from the european union from france from russia for a ceasefire but let me tell you what the prime minister of armenia has said this morning nicol question me and he says he says repeated that turkey has brought in foreign mercenaries from syria to fight alongside the azeri forces took of course denies that but then he's added today that the front line in the goal of karabakh has become a clash of civilizations and a battle of survival and about what the armenians call the goal nagorno-karabakh is

fighting against international terrorism sponsored by turkey so that is really as i guess a ratcheting up of the rhetoric from the armenian prime minister not an indication from somebody who is immediately looking to sit down and talk and of course armenia is looking for friends azerbaijan now counts on the support of turkey turkey's over back as of armenia in saying this sort of thing is looking for international support because the prime minister says this equally threatens the u.s. iran russia and france but is what i mean is prime ministers doing looking for support. bernard thanks very much indeed that's burnitz miss in the rain in armenia will sin and cos you know who's covering this for us from john's capital buckaroo just bring us up to date 1st of all and then with what you're hearing from baku.

actually it is a bit quiet in baku because tension is fairly high by the border especially up london northeast inside of the corner bar where. this recalled character has been under attack by their main forces since the early morning and we heard that a civilian lost his life this early morning in tora tora as the civilian areas have been indiscriminately targeted by their menus as the officials and defense ministry has been is saying also down to. that the streets and that have been fired also by the armenian forces and the fight has been intensified as well just let us remember a couple of days ago we heard that azerbaijan by the tree was able to take over some villages to regain control of some villages in full district but currently now we have 2 battle points in the north is territory and down the area and the

officials have been accusing government for indiscriminate targeting of the civilians and as also bernard put through azerbaijan is also seeking some support on the international level because when you speak to the officials they always complain that the area is under our main ok patient these are not the streets that these are our lands and all lands are being attacked by their minions again from all lands this is what the real fishelson have been saying since we arrived here last monday cinema thanks very much and we'll be of course coming back to you as the situation develops but for now some course you don't know and buchan thank you . claymore ahead on the news hour including. the explosion now they're killing us losing hope people living in lebanon say there's no solution but the country's financial meltdown. hopes are fading for government bailouts to

save $32000.00 people's jobs and u.s. airlines as a protection order expires. and last month's u.s. open runner up reaches the french open 3rd round but needs 5 sets to do it it is going to have all the action. at least 60 people have been detained in protests marking china's national day in hong kong police blocked off streets and alleys in a major shopping area where previous protests have been held there's been a ban on mass gatherings due to covert 19 it's been 3 months after beijing imposed its security law on the territory national day marks the founding of the people's republic of china in 1949. there was also a flag raising ceremony on the shores of hong kong's victoria harbor chief executive carrier was among those attending and she condemned countries that have criticized the new security law and said it will be implemented without hesitation

. so you. no matter how severe some foreign governments holding double standards are going to level unjustified accusations against the authorities in charge of implementing the national security law or aggressively imposing further sanctions against the hong kong officials who are responsible for safeguarding national security i and my relevant colleagues will continue to discharge our duty to safeguard national security in accordance with the law without fear or anxiety. it in bronze life for us in hong kong age in the protests that we've seen over the last 24 hours or so seem very different to the protests that we've been seeing several months ago. here and there's a very good reason for that rob you know the police are flowing vast numbers of riot police but situations like the one that's now unfolding here in the biz a call to a pay shopping district of on call they have been flooding the street with offices

all afternoon because a few days ago they rejected an application by a group to hold a protest today site citing that 90 as well as the potential for violence but in the days since there have been a lot of calls have gone out online for people to still turn up in this area and to demonstrate in whatever way they see fit so what has happened is that we have plenty of people here today wearing black t. shirts of course that see the color code of the protest movement but as i say there's very little they can really do i mean protesting conventionally in hong kong is now you know essentially over the combined effects of the coronavirus measures which means we have to wear you know face masks like this when we go out in public as well as the new security law mean that we're not seeing a repeat of those large protests of a year ago i mean i covered the big demonstration here on october 1st 2019 that was a very violent day here in hong kong that's when

a protest was shot in the chest by police we're not seeing anything on that scale now but the sentiment but tied behind the protest movement is still very much there it's just that people are having to be more creative and more inventive in the way they demonstrate so you see people holding up newspapers hong kong's most popular newspaper which is owned by a man who was recently arrested under the new national security lol. adrian we heard caroline mentioned just a moment ago that she she said she and her relevant colleagues would continue to discharge their duty to safe guard national security in accordance with the law and now at that point she was of course talking about the new national law that has been criticized by several countries around the world but is there a feeling amongst the hong kong government do you think that they're they have been vindicated essentially in the crackdown of the protests that has been going on for the reasons that you explained. you know i certainly think

that's a case in point i mean what we saw today when kerry appeared at the convention center for that traditional ceremony marking national day she was surrounded by hong kong's political elite it was very much a show of unity and carrying on had a robust defense to offer the national security law and she said countries who criticize it would guilty of double standards she said that the new national security law had brought stability to hong kong and in her words would improve people's lives and of course people here in this area hong kong at the moment would dispute that very much they believe the new national security law is going to purge tail freedoms which they have lived with for many years and i think the other message they carried out wanted to give out today it was one of defiance that she's not going to be deterred from 7 pressing ahead with the national security law and

indeed other rules which facing mabel that to push through. thank you very much indeed. brian for us in hong kong. a 2nd woman has died in india after being gang raped in the state of auto pradesh the 2 separate cases reigniting protests about sexual violence on the country's caste system both woman from the from the marginalised and dallas community adding to the anger the family of one of the victims has accused police of cremating her body against their wishes understood palpable it's. the women of this village have turned to each other for comfort during a difficult time they're mourning the death of a daughter and a sister 19 year old was tortured and gang raped in india's bitter pradesh state her body was discovered by family members before she died of her injuries on tuesday. after that they see the police made their suffering worse. cremating her body in the middle of the night against their wishes. pictures of her funeral pyre

have further angered the local community in a case that shocked the nation. after the post-mortem was done in delhi we didn't even know that a body was sent home we were not asked for any approval late in the night they were forcing us to perform last rites we requested their latest take go home so a family members could see oh for one last time they didn't pay any heed to our request and performed her last rites we want justice we want strict legal action against them and we demand kept all punishment for the accused. local police say they had the families approval they've deployed officers around the area to maintain calm but the community is demanding justice was a victim's family say they want those responsible to face the death penalty. the teenager's identity is protected by law but members of her community too often are not she was a doll it's a so-called untouchable and india's controversial caste system all the suspects are from an upper caste living right next door police have arrested 4 men in connection

with the attack that's led to protest prime minister narendra modi has called for strict action against the accused as quickly as possible but many have accused his hindu nationalist b j p government of not protecting vulnerable communities or of this government is against the poor dollie its minorities labor is and all of the marginalised sections of society they are against those who is suffering they slogan of removing poverty is all about eliminating. the state's chief minister yogi addict spoke to the victim's father on wednesday through video link this case is a reminder of a similar attack in 2012 when a 23 year old medical student died after being gang raped on a bus and delhi the attack prompted outrage and protests across india 4 men were executed for the crime earlier this year and laws were changed to provide further protection but it appears many women especially those in poor communities still face the same risks and are schapelle al-jazeera. i'm

going to sammy as a woman's rights and i'm to cost activist and she's joining us by skype from london thank you very much indeed for being with us i was reading that there's an average of 87 rape cases reported every day last year but there is a suspicion of course that the numbers are much higher because many go unreported why is the violence of rape used so often by men against women. so it isn't society which is induced with past and i think the men up because in order to reinforce their. power and you know to do a good rebuild that means that the will cause they're using simpson violence as a dual to do up prison as a bit hollow so it's coming from the past supremacy woods which is also a cultural problem how much does the cost system in india create issues are problems around bringing prosecutions in cases like this. so the law

enforcement agencies usually bright indignity to the dominant class because of the flock to most of the representatives and the law enforcement agencies are from the upper crust up or down and caused so does he and the law enforcement agency and most of the times the legal system also phrase that isn't so and though got me started on my lens as an ongoing issue and the system is not a do i just sit and listen to me a disney stop solution was midstream close apostleship don't know how he's up rist imagine they spent movies that was no way forward and specifically been that comes to old the police he does become a dog at home which i'd say it's passed up doesn't ease let me know violence is and such a mindset means woman in how you played how are women who are raped regarded by indian society and also their families once the incident has happened. so those are going

to maintain a mainstream society vats of the such and violence against a custom woman as a serious issue but when it happens to a low cost woman baby they are trying to predict their cost religious and the cost right now not coming out as you would come for an upper crust woman for instance in the us how had this is she was brutalized she was in the hospital but she was not even given proper medical care whereas nobody who was sent abroad for our men so the lights off not by al was was doa nation by guns and then she was told as an indian doctor there is headless but then was not answered and so and the blood is moving to have they did their body as a body and they wouldn't die even dejected the family did write a mean let's just play so this shows that the woman bodies are not do you did in a dignified manner even after the dance one of the things i found most disturbing about what you just said is the fact in your previous answer you said essentially

for the dollar community in india there is no way out is there really no way of trying to address this issue or redress the balance. yes so i think indian society had to actively participate in engaging against this past season they had discussed past business the mission on the stage and the bomb and the law enforcement agencies should conduct themselves in achieving equal if they would just be gotten good by the idle constitution and as there is a political will there isn't not change and also those dateable the revolution is run by our hindu your. spiritual leader religious leader so where is the democracy it does in the making of india all hindu raj more communal violence and more most possibly are being committed so it does i think state sponsored violence is really interesting to get your thoughts on this kind of

amount to something we appreciate your time and thank you very much indeed thank you. ok it's time for the weather here's everton i can see the map we're looking at europe and actually it's remarkably clear in the middle it does in the middle that's right rob yeah that look up towards the northwest we got that lovely cycling of cloud name months new storm roll we've got developing storm coming into the northwest of here and this has been named storm alex by metafont so i was going to bring some very wet and windy weather into the fall northwest of france as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours and beyond we are going to say it gradually pushing its way down as we go on through the next couple days but a whole myriad of fronts and weather systems that just rattling in from the atlantic some proper or some weather coming in then so is even a little closer and you can see how this system develops down towards the press potential i was going to bring some very wet weather britney as we go on through the remainder of thursday going on into friday and then just pushes

a little further race was a little bit like a whale stuck in the mud is just can be spinning away in a similar area spitting out somebody's nasi weather as we go through the next couple of days some parts across northern france in particular they're going to see the strongest winds in excess of 100 kilometers per hour damaging winds trees down power outages certainly likely but look a little further south through the bay of biscay down across a good parts of spain and portugal we're picking up the moisture from the warm waters of the mediterranean and that's going to bring some big thunder showers there across southeastern france pushing across into the alps more whether we go right through the weekend for up with more flooding over 10 thank you very much indeed as always. still ahead on orders there are. protests in peru 100 rise in poverty in argentina latin america is the worst affected region in the world by covert 19. u.s.

ramadan and jews were celebrating young composer egypt and syria launched a surprise war against israel. carter's world promoter so to get into this situation there's us now in the 1st of a 3 part series al-jazeera explores what really happened during the 1st week of the war in october on al-jazeera. i want to notice here a reminder of our top stories this hour the european union is launching legal action against the u.k. over its brags it plans a bill going through the british parliament would violate international law in

relation to trade rules in northern ireland. armenia and azerbaijan have rejected international calls for talks to end fighting over the disputed region they said the president says armenian troops must leave not gonna cut it back before any negotiations can go ahead. at least 60 people have been detained a protest marking china's national day in hong kong there's a ban on mass protest due to covert 19. ok let's go back to the breaking news story now on the e.u.'s plans to launch court action against the u.k. julio hertz is an european policy specialist he's joining us by skype from london good to have you with us this move by the e.u. wasn't exactly unexpected because about 3 weeks ago there was warning that it was going to do this nevertheless even though the u.k. government must have known it was coming it is going to put additional pressure on the u.k. government is not. yes it's going to put additional pressure on the u.k. government but also on the negotiations in general as we've seen recently the u.k.

government is necessary listening to it european counterparts and is using these opportunities to play domestic politics and pretender standing up to the big bad european bully when i was in along the lane made his statement what he did not do of course was going to details about what the eventual punishment could be to the new king for doing this do we have any indication is that a precedent for the kind of thing that the u.k. may end up facing. well i think it's important that we note that this is i think one of $93.00 european commission legal actions against u.k. and right now in the procedure is that this would go towards de european court of justice not to rule on whether. then whatever punishment is put in place will be put in place depending on what the court decides however what we need to note is that this causes quite a big security dollar for the u.k. and the e.u. because if the u.k.

continues down this road and refuses to on the supplications that we're going to end up in a realm of rule power politics may come in place to do you can refusing to comply with international law michael gove the ukase bragg's it minister has been saying that negotiations are carrying on as normal that there are some things still to be ironed out but a lot of these negotiations from an outsider's point of view at least seem to be based essentially on trust the people are going to do what they say they're going to do and one would imagine that given the circumstances that trust has been seriously undermined when it comes particularly to these negotiations. well it's true and i mean we just have to look at the way that government has behaved leading up to decide to go to a short agreement which we should all remember that this was what one bush wants from the last election that he was going to implement the workload agreement and get u.k. out of the e.u. but it's true that this is all based on trust and the u.k. government seems very very willing to. waste that trust they keep saying that they

keep admitting that they are breaking the law with this even if brenda lewis the northern ireland secretary you keep saying that it's in a specific and limited way which as many experts in european law and policy know it is complete nonsense because if you were right it chose to sign a contract for work or for a phone contract or we decided to break that contract we would be expected to be held liable and in general we're expected to uphold the contract that we have in civilised society because that is what happens in civil society there are wider considerations of course as well and there i mean u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has already said that any move to undermine the 1900 pieces green mint which this extensively would affect would ensure that a potential u.s. u.k. trade deal wouldn't get passed the u.s. congress i mean that is a serious issue further down the line isn't it. and they get even worse for the u.k. who are in effect relying on a possible trade deal with the u.s. in the u.s.

presidential candidate joe biden has said outright that if the internal market bill goes through which we're going to start finding out if you will towards the end of november early december that the u.s. would not find any trade deal with the u.k. whatsoever until de stipulated the problems in the internal market bill resolved and the irish peace process was no longer threatened and i mean we have to ask ourselves how competent is a government that is constantly breaking the law at this point and sabotaging its own efforts for what it calls a global britain it's a there's a severe problem happening in the u.k. government right now we appreciate you giving us the benefit of your expertise julian holmes thank you very much indeed for talking to us and on 0. for the 1st time ever the world's 3rd largest stock exchange has suspended trading for the day the problem at the tokyo stock exchange is being blamed on a technical glitch officials say the issue is with the system that relays market

a nonpartisan government capable of carrying out much needed reforms to unlock international financial assistance has been the most powerful group that is backed by iran wants a different approach. will have to be in the government whether through party members or non party members as this is up for discussion all the while the financial meltdown continues a caretaker government can't implement reforms or revive stalled talks with the international monetary fund for a bailout plan but got on the scope of going on in lebanon and i've been going on for 30 years that's protected by. wide open politicians and i don't think it. would be a i think we're going to think much lower many feel lebanon's fate is entangled in international and regional politics historically no solution happened in lebanon with the. exterior of. the theater so i don't think it's going to happen now

the u.s. government's maximum pressure campaign against iran is also directed against its. allies washington has been trying to isolate hezbollah and its role in government. there can't be a political deal here until after the u.s. presidential election many say it wasn't a coincidence that his deadline to form a new government after the polls in november but the front. part not to make a mistake and bet on any possible changes in u.s. foreign policy. lebanon can't wait out the crisis the central bank has warned it will end subsidies on basic goods in the next few weeks because it is running out of foreign reserves this will further fuel inflation. most of our customers are buying the subsidized products now because other goods are too expensive and no longer affordable for many. middle class the sinking into poverty the local
