They work at the central processing facility of the mage known oil field in southern iraq what makes their operation unique is that after Oil Giant Shell left iraqis took over and for the 1st time they were running oil and gas extraction on their own. After shell pulled out and 2018 bus for oil company took charge with the same standards and criteria bus company in cooperation with other Consulting Companies also proved that it has the ability to manage much oil field despite the challenges that we face. One of those challenges a splitting from marshlands around the mage new and field this oil is below the nearly 5 metre high flood waters around the united mental risks mean new oil grid general will need to be elevated engineers say they have been able to reinforce dikes but one flooding could submerge their operation much new means crazy in arabic some say the name is in reference to the large amount of oil in one location the reserves of an estimated 38000000000 barrels this field produces 240000 barrels a day and that capacity is expected to go up to 450000 in 3 years the company says its able to find investors even when the world is moving towards alternative Energy Sources there is no and the risk for investment in iraq iraq is very respectful of government.

Returning now to the latest attack by suspected book fighters in north east and nigeria weve reestablished our connection with said the gaba shea who was a security analyst and a retired Nigerian Air Force captain his live from a butcher thank you so much for being with us so as i was saying earlier book iran is believed to be behind this latest attack in the northeast but we know that the group has split into 2 main factions which of the factions do you think is behind this attack. Well from the modus operandi what we gather from mass today is that the one led by shia cole does not discriminate between the Security Forces and civilians so if we stick with the you know with the modus operandi with the our well known we would believe that it is the book. That launched this attack and also it is very important to note that whats led to this attack 2 weeks ago a community in that area in the report something that was not you know where diluted ported. As they usually do they can fall for it attacks that is to gather food. Or animals from the groups. The villagers courageously decided to assist that attack and they were able to inflict a heavy casualty on the book footage and party killing 10 members of the wall and collect in 10 for some reference from them to us was going to be handed over to the office of the police and now it is this attack i think. To surprise on and to shore the communities who might think of. Defense to defend themselves and i carry an army has been desperately trying to bring the insurgency to an end and yet we see the number of attacks increasing in recent months especially millions of people have been displaced why is it proving so difficult for the Nigerian Army to defeat. The honest truth is a lot of capacity when i mean look of capacity of local fighting capacity but a lot of capacity in terms of personnel in terms of equipment in terms of mobility assists to act quickly and also it is exacerbated by the fact that were a very large area the Nigerian Army under a Different Air force and the navy were all involved in this operation the phillies put it on the ground we do not have enough boots on the ground in that area and again is exacerbated by the fact that equipment is not optional you know. So that is the that is that is really the issue if you look at all the areas. Attack is an area that has been attacked i think not when the last going up november 28th in june this year and in this attack so what does true is that there is not enough presence on the ground to hold the ground that is it ok thank you so much for speaking to us. Security analyst joining us there from a bridge and i ceria thank you for your time sir pleasure thank you. And a few moments well have the wild weather with rob and still ahead on the news hour.

A flooded championship. Of the monsoon rains in india being a bit more friendly now but is big a pound and a pattern for years now that the floods and drought nature of monsoon rains is becoming more rigs train for example weve had in eastern russia style over 200. 00 millimeters in the last 24 hours or so has produced flooding in the town of kotor which is not so the wet his place of india in a good part of russia john is desert east isnt admittedly but this is no typical of many places but you cant predict where theyre going to be you might expect to be bangor more than anywhere else well what was particularly this year this is the last 24 hours worth of satellite picture and these are just a few places i picked it was significant rain job for now this is in the dry part 117. 00 when the beaches its been very wet for the south down this west coast in particular of the indus and thats where its going to rain more i suspect but as i said the good news is the rain that was there in russia for example is now starting to picture for the next 2 days you see very much the same as the middle of this part of india where the rain is likely to fall which is of course a good thing because currently were still 60 percent efficient which is significant.

Again youre watching the news hour on aljazeera a reminder of our top stories the Chinese Government has reiterated its support for hong kongs leader kerry now following weeks of mass protests beijings top office on Hong Kong Policy says the demonstrations there are no longer peaceful and a challenge to the rule of law. The present geria has ordered a military operation to hunt down suspected book or armed gunmen who attacked a funeral in the northeast at least 65 people were killed in my degree the capital of borno state and a government has been shot dead by police in the United States after he killed 3 people at a Food Festival in the state of california it happened in the city of galle boy south of San Francisco another 15 people are injured it. Returning now to our top story and the anger on the streets of hong kong what began as protests over an extradition law has now turned into a much wider opposition against on june 9th an estimated 1000000 people poured into the streets to demand the government drop a bill that would allow suspects to face trial in Mainland China weeks of launch the peaceful protests followed and forced the government off hong kong to shelve the bill chics exact chief executive carol lam declared it dead but refused to drop it altogether protesters are also angry over Police Brutality they accuse officers of using Excessive Force and colluding with suspected gang members who attacks demonstrators at a metro station in hong kong last week and for 2 weekends in a row they have targeted the office of a jeans represents. In hong kong demonstrators are not calling for greater democracy and political reform lets not speak to tom grundy who is the editor in chief and founder of Hong Kong Free press an independent publication his eyes cut from hong kong thank you so much for joining us on aljazeera what do you make of the response that we heard earlier from the the Chinese Government to this crisis in all kong is it as strong as you expected it to be. Not at all actually i think there was some paranoia that we might see some statements about military involvement or Something Like that but it was very bland in the end its very rare that this officer would speak out or have a press conference rather in fact its the 1st time since the 1907 handover usually beijings tentacles operate in in more shadowy ways in hong kong but their statement basically reiterated what theyve been saying for some time saying that they hope on congress will oppose violence uphold the rule of law and the political conflict which ironically is some of the demands also of the protesters they said that they support the Hong Kong Government and police and they condemned the protests that have been ongoing for over 8 weeks now and just seeing one of the reactions from the Democratic Party chair why saying that the Central Government has misjudged the situation and cut off all possible paths from moving forward so back to a stalemate really in this cycle of protests escalation and then condemnation with little in terms of concessions a stalemate you say and the somewhat subdued response from beijing what do you think would constitute a red line for the Chinese Government that would lead them to intervene in one way or another in this crisis to bring the army in for instance. Well the red line we would hear about is this notion of sedition or the probing dependence movement and certainly when. Activists through income the chinese and when this was seen as a challenge to chinese sovereignty but these murmurs of military involvement weve been hearing lately theres no real proof of that happening anytime soon the kind of thing the police have or the toys that they can break out to suppress these protests such as water cannon so now it seems to me from their press conference that theyre going to continue to be hands off and allow hong kong to handle this having said that the local governments have been pretty absents if this was a any of the city you might be seeing daily briefings on the situation meetings with protesters or reactions to whats going on but we seem to be stuck in this loop whereby there are escalating protests that we can be some condemnation by the government and the police and then they tend to disappear for days on end and you dont see any of the officials until there is yet more protests going to the following weekend and china all these years has been promoting hong kong as a perfect model for the one country 2 system role how are the events in hong kong being viewed in taiwan and what impact might they have on beijing to relationship with taiwan which is already a complicated. Yes for decades hong kong was meant to be a showcase for the one country 2 systems agreement with its autonomy for taiwan but even some of the more prochoice cities. Have been voicing concern about whats been happening here and certainly the president signed when support for the protesters here and as they go into elections next year it seems that hong kong is becoming more of a warning about one country 2 systems rather than an advertisement thank you so much tom for speaking to us tom grandees at a chain chief of the Hong Kong Free press live there from hong kong thank you for your time we appreciate it thank you. Russias Opposition Leader is being treated in hospital for severe facial swelling and rashes he was taken there from jail where his serving 30 days after calling for antigovernment protests a doctor at the hospital says alexina valmy a prominent critic of president Vladimir Putin has been diagnosed with highs his doctor says he may have been poisoned more than a 1000 people were detained at the demonstrations in moscow on saturday lets get the latest from iran cannot correspondent in moscow whats the latest in iran on election of on his health. Well his doctors are saying that he is in stable condition that he is feeling much by them but shes very very concerned about the fact that he may not have been given the right test of figure out whats actually wrong with him and now weve also been hearing in the last 24 hours from people that have been inside the prison that hes been kept in and they say the conditions that are incredibly die so the doctor is actually very worried that if he is released from hospital on monday and goes back to prison the what made him ill is going to remain and he will just get ill again she also said that she had to fight to get access to a patient that the hospital wasnt going to give it back so she was able to get it but she showed. Over twitter and social media the shes very very concerned about his health now it has been the case over the last 24 hours that its been very difficult for his supporters his team to get access to him to find out whats actually wrong with him and whats going on with his Mental Health or when his physical health as well his lawyer for example once again had to fight to get access to him once they got access they wont actually be allowed to speak confidentially confidentially to him so theres a lot of concerns about somebody like this when you have somebody at this kind of level this prominence a lot so people are very concerned that if anything out of the ordinary happens to him they all become much more suspicious than they would under normal circumstances iran thank you for the update in noncon in moscow. Boris johnson is looking to strengthen scotlands relationship with the United Kingdom as he makes his 1st trip there as u. K. Prime minister the possibility of a no deal brecks it has renewed calls for a vote on independence johnson is also facing dissent in his own ranks the scottish regional leader of his conservative party has publicly challenge him over his breakfast plans that speak to our correspondent in edinburgh so whats the aim of this visit. Well fully Boris Johnson is coming here as part of a drive which he says hes meant to strengthen the ties that bind the nations that make up the United Kingdom hes coming to scotland hes currently a military base near glasgow hell be heading here to edinburgh later on and he knows that hes under pressure hes called himself not just Prime Minister but minister for the union but over the weekend his government has repeated that they will be working on the assumption that britain will be leaving. The European Union at the end of october with no deal this talk like that that really alarms a lot of people in places like this later on here in edinburgh where the parliament sits in the building behind me hell hes expected to meet nicolas sturgeon the 1st minister leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party he might also be meeting Ruth Davidson shes the leader of the scottish conservatives theres a big rift between those 2 on sunday davidson wrote a newspaper article saying that she would back Prime Minister johnson in his brakes in efforts but she would not support his. Moves for a no deal bracks it its clear that theres no love lost between them furthermore nicholas sturgeon has made it clear since Boris Johnson took office that if he pressed ahead with a note that he would be the last Prime Minister of Great Britain its really clear the message coming from people like her that they think hes whole approach is going to be disastrous it comes on a day when the confederation of british industry says that basically most businesses are not ready here in britain or in the European Union for a no deal breaks it so he knows hes under pressure is going to announce around 370000000. 00 of new investment for parts of scotland Northern Ireland and wales but he knows that that comes against the one. 100000000. 00 or so 150000000. 00 that the government is now spending just to inform people about a no deal breaker and how to get ready for it so theyre well aware that there are real concerns and how the prospect of a no deal brack said affecting the argument for independence in scotland. Well its certainly changing some minds lets not forget that in 2014 there was a referendum here in scotland it went 55 percent against to 45 percent for independence but just last week nicolas sturgeon wrote supports johnson saying she would start preparations for a new independence referendum again and she knows that the whole idea his whole approach is unpopular Boris Johnson has little support here as an individual but more than but the idea of a no deal break city is very unpopular scotland like Northern Ireland voted remaining in the 2016 e. U. Referendum and shes now able to say to the people of scotland well look at the way the future relationship with the e. U. Is looking it might be a no deal it might harm our economy we might be looking at severe disruption and lots of people here starting to wonder whether that will sway the nationalist movement not just here in wales now were seeing an opinion poll saying that the nationalist party there are the leading party in voting intentions in Northern Ireland people like the the nationalist party saying that moves towards a no deal it will strengthen their push for a United Ireland of course things which the government in london certainly dont want to see thank you for having porting ny from hamburg.
