12:03 am
destruction that is currently underway. as i said, shops have been looted an infrastructure has been destroyed. this means that our sick cannot get medication from pharmacies. food does not reach supermarket shelves and health workers cannot go to work. will. earlier al jazeera phemie, the miller sent us this report from a wet on air, a mall where police failed to stop protesters from looting clearance away so so, so of johannesburg, get a move where looting has continued throughout the day. and i think what is quite exceptional is that police have all but given up the stood back. they did try to fire rubber bullets at the looters earlier in the day. they did try at one point to try and stop what was happening. but as soon as police moved in,
12:04 am
there was stoned by the people around this particular mall and immediately retreated when we had spoken to police officers. yeah, they said, what can we do? and this is exactly why we're seeing the deployment of the military. they haven't been any soldiers in this particular area yet, but we do understand the printer being deployed to areas in johannesburg. but as we sandra people continue to lose this wall. they're leaving look shopping carts, both the things, throwing various items into cars and, and making their way away from the more we've traveled to other areas of the west where they have been fire safety, where there is also looting in other areas. and again, the difficulties experienced by the city is quite extraordinary. and they just haven't managed to get a handle on what's happening. not just in the coping and in various parts, that hotspots in johannesburg,
12:05 am
but also inquisitive in the fall. and we're starting to get reports of more incidents of violence and looting in one or 2 other provinces in south africa, have made mila reporting there. well, on the way, con law is a professor in the department of politics and international relations at the university of johannesburg, he joins us now via skype from johannesburg. sir, thank you so much for being with us. here on al jazeera, we're just hearing how the sort of violence continues in parts of south africa, the top court there is hearing an application by jacob zoom or to review is 15 months. jail sentence, perhaps review, say, do you think that any outcome from there might coils the violence? yes, it's likely to to, to, to fuel. the violence provided provided the, the south african security as douglas meant is not
12:06 am
a 13 as present from the start. because no, the own me and the soldiers that we're working together. the intelligent thought is also cut into work with them. i think what is going to be very important is to set up a set as visible presence in all affected areas, the hotel problems and also in case of n. yes, the results of the constitutional court meeting the decision whether to accept the decision or not either going to affect the, the, the, the, the lead that was off dissatisfaction among the stubble groups who genuine lead protest that because of missed as do my best. because must have very clear other groups. i've tried to just to get tons of canada using is forgive me for the
12:07 am
interruption. i mean, it seems that basically that, that there's 2 sides is a supporter. as of jacob zoom a who effectively say that he has been a victim of a witch, electrical, which is that sort of continues. now then of course, is those that claim, or, you know, it's seen as that this is really a test of south africa to see whether the judiciary can actually keep people hold people to account, especially powerful politicians accused of corruption. where do you stand on those 2? i guess ways of looking at it. it would be using that to simplistic. but at the same time that i had heard l m a yellow touch. this is the element about tugs gangster criminals who all raised looking for every opportunity to exploit unfold african society. some of them at 20, up behind the looting and the bending of tires. and the burglar is taking place in
12:08 am
the last 10 townships, especially into hind spec and case at n. so in other words, when we look at this, we must know that it has 7 consecutive elements that are genuinely zoom supporters . and there are also a n c supporters who feel the cars have done the right thing. but at the same time, you had a cold of criminal against us. we're looking for an opportunity to exploit. hence, you find that it has been so difficult for the police to contain the looting that was taking place in the township quinn, the way con law professor in the department of politics and international relations at the university of johannesburg. guys, sir, thank you for sharing your views with us. and swinging some breaking news. now at least 39 people have died in the iraqi city

abuse. and after a year away, the world comp golfers have returned for the open championship. and the will be here with that story and more ah cuba, the president is blaming outside forces. and us sanctions for provoking the biggest anti government protests in 3 decades. on sunday, police cracked down on thousands of people calling for a change in the capitol. havana. there were similar demonstrations of right around the country. people are angry at the government's handling of the corona virus pandemic, and the worst economic crisis in decades. we took him a polio as he read the lack of finance for governance is due to the aggressive policy of blockade and financial persecution by the us being maintained by the government. and we have not been able to maintain and fix the power supply planning
12:11 am
ahead or present by them says the us stands by the cuban people and there's urging the government to listen to their grievances. socially. i want to start by recognize a remarkable protest taking place in q with q people of demanding their freedom from an authoritarian regime. and i don't think we've seen anything like that in a long time. of course, frankly, ever in the united states stands firmly with the people or q as they assert their versus rights. and because the government government human to refrain from violence or attempt to silence the voice of the people or q. while earlier the white house press secretary, in fact, he dismissed the cuban foreign ministers accusation that the us financed the mercenaries to form and the unrest. kimberly how kit is more on what else she had to say. she was repeatedly pressed in the white house briefing about why this
12:12 am
administration continues to keep from place of harsh economic sanctions that were put in place by the trumpet, ministration. if the president truly does stand with the people of cuba, because repeatedly what the people of cuba have been saying is that these policies put in place are hurting us. and so with the stroke of a pen, the us president does have the power to change things and improve things and appears to be refusing to do so. and so repeatedly reporters asked the white house press secretary about this. she insisted that humanitarian assistance has been provided, but the reason for the protest is not economic, but instead about the type of governance and mismanagement, seeming to miss the point of the protests or refusing to acknowledge the reality that people are expressing. rosa maria pie is
12:13 am
a cuban democracy. activists that cuba decide as citizens initiative aim, the changing the system to one of democracy and the rule of law. miss via thank you so much for being here with us all. now just as we know, critics obviously faces from punishment for descent in cuba, but the scent is exactly what we're seeing right now. we know of the economic crisis. you think that that's all there is to it where there are there things that lead to what could be perceived as a tipping point? well, that's the, you know, our opinion that people is chanting reader is johnson down that he hits in the people is not asking for quote, the people is asking for. the waiter receives, really they ask for freedom gifts or they by thousands, probably tens of thousands. i grew up the island. we have at least flooring, quite seated and found what were the people when the demand in the end of the day or ship? we know the war, of course, including all the major cities, including,
12:14 am
including honor and what, why, why do we expect from the world if not to speed on why day a given company in the band that is trying to propagate, but to leave them. so what did you want people in the mom and in the did, and this grand are very clear on those who are we don't on for the end of the day. but if you want the international community not to listen to the regime in cuba, but listen to the people themselves. are you satisfied with what president biden is doing? because presumably he is listening and says that he stands by the cuban people. well, we appreciate those who are very good for that, but now rather than by then it will be in union dick office and a member of the ever got enough response. i really the bar that the man i'm the

12:16 am

12:17 am
a lot of pain for the nation and for the international organizations to or they did immigrants, the in concert mind that i hadn't even on that right now, we need all those credible, put in place. maria via a cuban democracy activists that the group cuba, the side. madam, thank you for sharing your views with us. of course, thank you so much its going to haiti now. the caretaker prime minister there has sang to the public for helping with one of the largest men, hunts in its history clothes. as joseph says, his main focus is to get to the bottom of the assassination of haiti's president in his home last week haitian. please say that they're slowly piecing together the events leading up to the death of juvenile mois, with the help of international intelligence agents officers have arrested the man
12:18 am
suspected of masterminding that plot well, the haitian doctor christian of manuel salon is suspected of hiring the hit squad that carried out the attack was one of the assailants was presented with an arrest warrant against the president. the warrants as well known it is circulating, its from that the operation was set up. christian, man, your son on it's now in the hands of the police. look, be off to missing this crime. the 1st person who was contacted by the silence was christian man, your son on he contacted to other people who are also involved. as time goes on, more information will be brought to light about the mastermind of the assassination of the president. or the white house says the u. s. is still reviewing haiti's request for troops more than this. that's cross live now to patty, go ahead. who joins us from washington. d. c. apache. good to see you at this. the same different to the initial response that there had been from haiti to the
12:19 am
request for troops says so what, what's changing? well, what's changing is received a coordinated message now coming from the white house in the state department, both president joe biden and secretary of state and lincoln were scheduled to make remarks on other subjects. and they both came out and talked not only about cuba, but about haiti. and they were both had the same message is that there needs to be some sort of political solution at the top of the country, some sort of deal. so that they know who is running the country in the run up to elections, which they hope to see by september. now they both said that they were looking at it, especially the president said he was looking at providing assistance. he did say a team of agents from the f b i and also the department of homeland security. went to haiti on sunday, flew home sunday and i brief the president this morning and he said we will be giving you more information as we move forward. exactly. what kind of assistance that's going to be right now, they've really put the emphasis on helping with the investigation into the
12:20 am
assassination of the president. they've talked about money that they're giving to haiti. there is going to be a very strong reluctance to send us troops anywhere, especially if they could be at risk when we're hearing reports of gangs, basically just roaming the streets unchecked. that is something that the president is going to be worried about doing. he's also gonna look at the politics of this. unlike cuba, cuban americans have a very strong political weight in this country, especially in the electoral state of florida. the important electoral state of florida, not the same for the haitian desperado for so not a lot of pressure internally for the president to take those steps. and keep in mind he's bringing troops home from afghanistan. the idea of these going to just the turn more around and send them to haiti, seems like a pretty tough ask. and meanwhile, patty, there is a suspect for the assassination of employees, and that is a doctor, christian manuel as a doctor who actually has been living in florida. so what else do we know about it?
12:21 am
you know, this is just such a bizarre story and it keeps getting more and more complicated. so haitian authority said they've arrested this patient american and that they say, he says he's a doctor. we don't know exactly what kind of doctor he may or may not be that he's been living on and off in the state of florida for the last 2 decades. so they said that they went to his house and they found a d, a cap. cuz remember, there were some reports that the assassin said were da, of course it's on the d and not denied and also other paraphernalia that could have been used in the attack. but it's really unclear how this man could have been the mastermind we. what we know about him is that in 2013 he filed for bankruptcy in the state of florida. basically said he was out of money. there is a lot of questions about these colombian people a bit arrested the former many former military. their families are saying look, they were told that they were there to protect the president or to arrest him. that they had no intention of murdering him,
12:22 am
that they didn't know that that was going to be the plan, the 2 american haitian that have been arrested. they say that they were just interpreters, and they said that they had no idea that this was a plot to assassinate the president, haiti. so the f, b i investigation is probably gonna lead a little bit more credibility to this. because right now we're just hearing different bits and bobs and it seems highly unlikely that a doctor who didn't have any money in florida could fundraise finance not only flying in on a private jet, but paying for all of these mercenaries to get into haiti. and then get out if so we'll be waiting to hear more from the f b. i undoubtedly they'll have more to say in the next couple of days. i think playing with the latest from washington dc. patty, thank you. a member of jordan's royal family and a man who was once the king's top advise there has been sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of attempting to destabilize the monarchy. the court says the pair wanted the king's half brother to take the throne. the cases shocked to jordan
12:23 am
and the ruling how she might family that's been seen as a beacon of stability. jamal in shale reports, sentences in the case came after almost 3 months of secret hearings at the door, damien, state, security courts and ben this bit in general, well regarding the 1st criminal bus, him, our dollar, the court has sentenced him to temporary imprisonment for a period of 15 years with regard to the 2nd criminal sharif hassan been zayed, the court has sent it seemed to temporary imprisonment for a period of 15 years. the 2 men found guilty of plotting to sole discord and ultimately undermined the jordanian monarchy. by some are the law and show you how some bins aid i want. the law is a former minister who rose to become the head of jordan's royal court. but he was not a popular figure among many jordanians who for long accused him of corruption and financial embezzlement. i will, the law is also said to be very close to saudi arabia,
12:24 am
chrome prince from i've been some man and has been described as being an advisor to the saudi royal has called. defendant sheriff hasn't been said, is a member of jordan's hash. my family, which has ruled the country for a 100 years, the case against the 2 men began in april when they were arrested by security forces. the following day, a video message from prince becomes a former air to the throne and half brother of the current king was a leak to the media. he said he'd been placed on the house arrest skeptic. see the case against our latin bins. aid is a smoke screen and the government is using them escape goats to tarnish prince funder, who has been a scathing critic of how jordan has been run in recent years. but the current can lead not for saying, and his supporters say jordan's been the target of a foreign plot by regional powers to destabilize the monarchy. especially after jordan's rejection of former us president donald trump's deal of the country. and the king's objection to gulf countries normalizing of relations with israel. of
12:25 am
course, the political ramifications of this are many the most important one. it's a message to the external actors, as well as the internal actors who may have intentions to destabilize. jordan again that the state is very strong. jordan has been struggling economically for several years. a grown grace of unemployment on this consent has led to sporadic protest, during which prince comes. his name was sometimes taunted by demonstrators who saw him as a symbol of reform. and although the prince has not been put on trial, some believe monday sentencing is a clear message to governments. critics. it's obvious that they were trying to convince steven. so it's a trial by fcc even. so i think this is to be in game. they want to be out of the picture. there was so many, many of them being as for instance, what comes it to be the region. but now i think i can even next to 0. this

12:28 am
racist abuse that some of the players. i said shame on you. and i hope you will crawl back under the rock from which you emerged. but anti discrimination campaigners inside and outside the world have accused them of hypocrisy. patel had criticized in getting players for taking the knee and anti racism gesture and johnson had defended fans who booed the team for doing so. people remember that it's all debatable that you don't have to take the need because the prime minister government don't agree with it. and so therefore, you know, some, our them lines that also gives them some kind of freedom to be abusive when it comes to, to black place, in particular, with a clean up, a found zones like basically coming to an end. but now there are growing colds on social media companies on politicians, and on the sports of football to clean up their own act to crack down hard on
