Lets talk to our White House Correspondent jim lee how couldnt complete the president and yet another twitter spot. Yeah in another spat and the question is why this one why now because it seems to come on the heels of attacks on 4 congresswoman of color democratic congresswoman that he told to leave if they dont like the United States given the fact that only one of them was foreign born many people also believe strongly that this was yet another attempt by the u. S. President to divide america and americans along racial lines in terms of why sort of this latest chapter of the attack on the city of baltimore over the weekend now the civil rights leader reverend al sharpton many people say this is a political calculation by the president he knows that. Largely africanamericans tend to be living in urban centers that largely vote democratic these folks are not going to vote for donald trump to begin with so he feels that by pointing out some of the things about some of these cities hes also done about chicago pointing out Violent Crime there that this is in some ways is going to make him stand out as a politician the problem is that all of this is that it is just reopening wounds in the United States that just never seem to heal when it comes to its history of being founded on slavery and so this is particularly hurtful to so many populations that filled with this president should be uniting the country but is doing just the opposite and what about within the Republican Party is over there how much support would that be for the president. Well you know theres a lot of attempt by the Republican Party to dismiss this is nothing more than the president s hyperbole oh thats donald being donald kind of thing and the reason for that is because on some level some of the things donald trump says sometimes are factually correct not always in the case of baltimore certainly it is a troubled city it has had a mayor recently leaving scandal it does have a very high Violent Crime rate chicago as well but at the same time pulling back from all of this is what this does is it galvanizes Donald Trumps base by dividing us and them this is a calculated electoral strategy that works for donald trump and 2016 hes already looking ahead campaigning to 2020 even though he doesnt officially have a democratic president ial candidate to oppose him the reason for all of this is that in the complicated american system its an Electoral College strategy he may not win the popular vote this way but he could win the white house this way and so thats appears to be what hes trying to do yet again even though the election is still so far away or can really thanks very much in the neighborhood than washington d. C. Britains new Prime Minister is refusing to meet leaders in till they agree to reopen the bridge with rule agreements Boris Johnson has been holding talks in scotland with the 1st minister nicolas shes accused johnson of pursuing a new deal break super she says will be deeply damaging for the whole of the United Kingdom and the bubble reports now from and abroad. Using a smattering of applause for the u. K. Prime minister as he rifa told to scotlands 1st minister yes then shook hands but they were never going to see eye to eye even before he arrived Nicola Sturgeon warned Boris Johnson he could be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom if he delivered no deal breaks it its fair to say these 2 politicians have a very different vision of the future. After their meeting at her official residence she repeated her warning behind all the bluff and bluster this government and the path that it is pursuing i think is dangerous it became clear to me that this government the new Prime Minister has set the uki on an almost inevitable path to a new deal breaks at the position that it has taken that makes it very difficult to see how any deal can be stuck with the e. U. And i think that would be catastrophic for scotland and indeed for the whole of the u. K. At a naval base near Glasgow Johnson outlined plans for new investment in parts of scotland wales and Northern Ireland worth almost 400000000. 00 but his governments also spending more than 100000000. 00 on an Advertising Campaign informing the public about a no deal breaks it and he says he will meet e. U. Leaders if they dont agree to revisit the Withdrawal Agreement and scrap the socalled backstop designed to prevent a hard boarder in Northern Irelands what we want to do is to make it absolutely clear that the backstop is no good it did its got to get there with broad agreement is dead its got to go but there is scope to do a new deal before meeting the 1st minister Boris Johnson headed to the Scottish Parliament for another tense meeting with the leader of the Scottish Branch of the conservative Party Ruth Davidson she says she supports the Prime Minister but has firmly rejected the idea of a no deal breaks it arguing nobody advocated it in the 2060 Referendum Campaign her allies are warning the johnson governments approach could boost support for independence which is already on the rise as a party for independence and gotten as almost 50 percent if not a majority but theres a serious conflict between the 2 governments then that could provoke another independence referendum maybe not immediately but after the next scottish elections the Scottish Government a far from the only people warning johnson hes in danger in the union whether they try to hold another independence vote in the near future could depend on whether politicians in westminster are able to stop him the dean barber al jazeera edinburgh where the british pound has fallen to a 28 month low against the dollar as Brian Johnson toughens his rhetoric on breaks it analysts say the currency could fall further as fears growth over the possibility of a new deal.

V. In nigeria and that is for somebody to talk about their Mental Health can you tell us just very briefly how you tackled your Mental Health challenge what happened to you how did you solve it. You know i dont think. I dont think up so good. How it built with it being more like. When i was a question i had a lot of support from my friends from your bro and that went very long in my record. Journey and ive got the port. On the reasons why we got a community of people would go if you get a return on our own kind of where you try to if we were looking to add a at the extent of Mental Health challenges in nigeria how would you explain the landscape what is it like a street like. I think a lot of the im concerned about the Mental Health challenges of lunch or as a result of the crisis in the northeast to put things in perspective over 7000000 people have been affected in 3 straight to the northeastern ranger out of those 7000000 people 1. 76 people have been displaced from the recession homes people from teachers to farmers to government walkers and session and lost everything that around this people suffer into a really massive charmer with the occasional secondly since and such as depression and anxiety and stress and a lot of them have very little life left and its however the crisis in ones here is not only in the north east the suburb conflicts all across the country theres the conflict in the northwest of the bandits and we saw space conflict for the farmer had a crisis in the middle belts this crisis in the ninetys was also a resource for cultism and so forth and so these conflicts in huge the Mental Health challenges are a serious problem in the country together with the economic situation. And i hear what youre saying there and yet there are a few i handful i will say there are not that many there are a few people online who are not quite convinced that the numbers are adding up or that the level of people wanting to seek Mental Health care or dealing with Mental Illness are what the government says they are so i wanted to share this from keith who says our Government Officials are known for cooking up numbers to the numbers come from a personal observation from a village or legitimate survey if so how was this survey conducted what region was focused on she goes on to say in a country where Mental Health is viewed as a taboo topic im curious to know who they talk to i do graphs from the question Mental Health is a very important topic thats needed to be tackled with a sense of urgency but these numbers just dont add up for me and the number she is talking about is the 3 in 10 nigerians who reportedly suffer from Mental Health issues dr ibrahim can you talk to us about what we know about the landscape what we know about those numbers. Thank you very much for the opportunity i think. That the number hes. Over estimated i. E. I share with the concern that theres a Mental Health issue in the not east particularly would display spent over over 2000000 people by the insurgency and particularly with the destruction of infrastructure as both a primary and secondary abels in both state and youll be state and of course in some parts of a demo stage and as growth deficiency of Mental Health facilities in nigeria the only Mental Health hospital that is on where the federal government is the federal psychiatry close to 20 m. A degree that kept us full what trichet 1000000000 people and yes also growth the fish and seeds of said chatteris to nigeria with a population project took relational over 200000000 people and then she read correctly has gone dead 200 reps i cant freeze which makes their racial facade cat free tool the population of about one to 8000000000 which is grossly inadequate can pitch to the space center bluefish whole. One second to 10000. 00 population and up cuz i just decide a select course Traumatic Stress disorder that would be as such i see and of course recently has been on such suicide rate which of course its indicative of detour ritu Mental Health condition but the little dollar g. And the methods they use in iraq and other peoples i think. Needs much to be desired how its almost impossible to talk about Mental Illness as if its just one kind of illness but from your perspective when you look at suffering all having a Mental Illness. Who do you go to whos that to help thank you very much for having. I think 1st that these landscape of Mental Health and our dear is very burnt mental and generally speaking we hope your systems are nonsense but as functional as the possibility so for the average range human we doesnt know when its all just this a doctor when you want something wont be in there or going to mistake but another its harms the general practitioners we know theyre all conventional doctors that beats you what the symptoms you know Mental Health problems and it just becomes really hard i mean of course we also have other parts of social portal we just. The sort of in a bowl and counter any form of awareness so its kind of a you want to explain what that means because its a fairly easy sentence to say social cultural and it just fact is as if Everybody Knows every nigerian mono this but internationally around the well pick one of that isnt explain what you mean. Ok so for example a look at the religious aspect. Of people would say its one of our biggest weaknesses and one of our biggest and says well so for example you would hear somebody who has the pressure on their own wont vote for i dont i dont have the question is like a money session or you know i mean you see evidence of the fact that there are so many traditional and healing comes across but youre aware people are being can be their rights are being valued because they have a psycho social disability or a Mental Health mission and so good belief is that leg out of you that maybe did. And things like that so we see those kinds of not so thats just one aspect but we just see those kind of now it seems enabling people sort of shifting the way people think about Mental Health in sense that if i know that im going with something i wouldnt want or else what i want to be i dont want to tell a lie with a narrative but then some wont be needed in terms of spirits you know possessed me or demons and then perhaps i need to not so those are the kinds of things that will differ but generally its what you worry about is suspending what barry said and thats one of the things that we try to report with Mental Health care especially at the level for example departmental a at the grassroots Mental Health care where people can say ok im dealing with this i dont even know what it is but i use the professionals the whole perfectionist a petition will be able to spot seats and be able to say this is a mental how well arent we i dont see that happening until how im glad you brought that up because we got this comment from someone watching on you tube this is Alexander Anderson who says we have to bring in religious leaders into this conversation and i pray at mosques and not once have i heard the issue of Mental Health being discussed i cant speak for churches here but he goes on to say usually they religious leaders tell you to pray and thats it i think there should be an open discussion about how prayer doesnt always solve our Mental Health challenges so lets dig right into that topics the stigma that goes along with this and the things that are not so helpful that others in the community might tell you to do dr b h u r talk take that on. I think the backlash against research one in 3 nigerians suffer from Mental Health issues which really indicate a problem. When when we were on our case in conservation campaigns i was trying to make people aware that Mental Health problems are just like physical Health Problems they can range from physical problems from a headache to full blown cancer to the same feeling or Mental Health grange through perhaps my other person into full blown psychosis right but in one jury here we dont we have a very myopic view of Mental Health illness we feel anybody that suffers from a Mental Health issue. And they have various names of it for its you know they would say are the ones on mars that are nonkululeko and on men so just several names just really really minor pic of you that i think we have a long way to go ahead and sensitize in lunches that Mental Health issues can range from leaving mild to to really severe problems in the country of israel how do you take that on every day as a as a federal medical director this is your job to maybe work out how the government can help nigerians handle and treat Mental Illness how do you take on that stigma its really really. Yes. Its a very violent observation that nigerians generally have a misconception a misperception about Mental Illness but the federal government on its quality has been doing a lot the levels of health care in nigeria divided into a tree thats the primary health care which is handled as a fully by the local government areas and the 2nd rate of care which is statutorily 100 by the. States and then the pressure of health care which is to what the federal government the federal government has established about it mirrors at catterick hospitals in the country to catch up with the geopolitical zones and the federal government has oversaw. The Specialty Hospital in to train in a primary health care walk into provision of Mental Health said this is a grassroots truly the Mental Health Global Action plan into the haitian gets in several parts of the country several primary Health Care Primary Health Care Workers have been trained on detection and illy intervention of Mental Illness is such a drag strip level and secondly has been an integration of Mental Health into trouble medical care what i mean by this is that there has been engagement of traditional rulers and of course to some extent trainings have been conducted for spiritual leaders such as past us humans in such and parts of the country i can clearly just to the for the to disinter been shown in the distant parts of nigeria in which so far weve trained over 250 primary Health Care Workers and weve also really just leaves us such as the us doesnt you months in a truly disturbed. District much as it should strategies i think this will go along we didnt post if impacts if the temple is sustained and if its in the get it. Of course that would help perspectives like this is a showing is that there is a stigma attached to having Mental Health issues here and along with that comes a conspirator tauriel shroud of silence so its that idea that you cant talk about it that we got a video comment from someone who picks up on that idea this is and is that media personality in the interior and heres what he told us. When it comes to Mental Health the nigeria people believe that its a curse that a witch in your village somehow put it on you because its to dish an over the just in cultural reasons people dont give Mental Health the respect or the attention that needs luckily for today the stigma is changing a bit but definitely not enough there are people who have access to more education because of the internet because of social media because of n. G. O. S and doctors but that is just maybe the one percent of the one percent so dr victor she says its changing and i would venture to say its changing in part because of organizations like yours you have trained counselors ready to talk to people tell us about how that works. Yes so so we started up this. Text line 2 years ago and since then weve managed to reach out to more than 10028 months and what happens is that we have psychologists and counselors who are trained in problem solving therapy. On what constitutes what simple basically and when we get messages on the. Week we connect people to need help and services to these counselors who we have trained already and with knowledge like up you know supervising thank you for the conversations between them and. Then increasing the think people im sure but i wouldnt say that. My. Getting any better or would i see it as stigma is actually the problem for me from experience i would say that lack of actual Quality Services is an evidence based issue that needs to be be countered because if you do too much when in fact what does that mean. If you do too much or when it said this is when this program youre going to increase the demands of Mental Health services now if you increase the demand with the positive capacity for mental status so be sure that your possibilities to provide these services are going to cost and only 10. 00 a consequence which means they are going to go could have to begin to find a more crowded and its gone from i like a legacy kind of effect because then this thing might going to increase. So its not really just about improving the Awareness Program how how do i have to pay out ok yes i think that the i agree what the possible but i also want to shed some light and its very easy for us to look at Mental Health. Issue or you know all of the Mental Health facility. But i think its also very important for us to look for prevention because where a very large point. Its not enough for us all we look at Mental Health from the rest for instance is. Were not in a systemic way were talking about very very new Psychiatric Hospital but the truth is that not every situation that every nigerian dealing with if they have been in Mental Health should know something that requires to sheree intervention we need primary health care we need rest we need to be able to pass and i would just once a bit of counsel what was said the guardian governments response that i dont particularly believe that governments are doing enough i believe that there has been some bright yes but i dont think its been enough i dont think in 2019 nigeria is to use in the lunacy at the i think 59 shows the readiness of the government i dont think we should was that this serious i dont think it shows that there were there protecting the rights of people who live with Mental Health conditions i believe the government can still go and get me in collaboration with Civil Society organizations that your rights when and money and and so on me and based on conducts bill but awareness but sorry nationwide awareness but also ensure that how how can we collaborate see beauty possibly at a Grassroots Level up are we going to pull a brick when you get community beings Mental Health centers so about well were raising the awareness and people to go to the sentence there are people that he begins to take in the table him can you respond to that just briefly. You know what she said its its true. That nigeria currently prints to lunacy at which we felt its very very a kick and today significant progress has been made the revision which is compatible with global realities of the time had been submitted to the National Assembly and correctly its been deliberate upon its at the touch level up here and before you dissolution of the last session of the nationalists and how might that be a brown how might that help dancing a 959 newness that even that the terminology is is Old Fashioned an updated single something for 21000 display for how to help get help is that it takes him to write to the human rights of the clients it takes into cognisance d. D. Negative terminologies and stigma that had been used and it gives the plant powers to determine the poll and i told him it to determine what has been done to elected literacy at that embeds most of the poets in the hands of the police and the budget strict i want to share one other aspect in which people think the government can be doing more on and this is the video comment from a registered nurse who interviewed nurses and medical professionals in nigeria has resurged heres what he told the same. Thing where all of the most. Is illegal negative the issues around the development of Mental Health issues and in niger is the lack of Government Resources of Government Support for professionals working within the field imagine people telling you in the system when you oh i sometimes on the were like 2 on the wards of like 20 there to beijing and we have to manage them. So you heard him put the onus there on the government but theres someone online who is saying its not just the government this is femi who says on the day i diagnosis side there are very few groups interest hospitals that support mental how its a social aberration to even mention seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist public and private sector wouldnt consider investments in Mental Health because its seen as unprofitable so hes putting some of the onus there on the Public Sector doctor to be a. Yes thats such true i mean its been highly impossible when you have no clients im so back up to the farm argument i think we dont have to take one side and leave the other in terms of creating awareness of Mental Health issues and the provision of Mental Health facilities in the country i think we have a lot of work to do both ways and we dont have to forgo one for the other im certainly not and allowed to return back to the issue of this willage is approaching Mental Health issues or knowledge or i think is a much more serious problem that which were talking about and that you wouldnt really find it in the city of mosul or the rule areas where people with Mental Health challenges of denial of the basic human rights and treating the most abysmal ways when you have this religious challenged and you know big from the church or the mosque exploiting these really Vulnerable People and gaining from them i think the government needs to do a lot more to that regard as well we need to write more checks for this religious tolerance and who provide who claim to be providing services that they cant possibly provide and also i think training in religious leaders you know has its pros and cons we also do some training as well as the Community Level but it took central that we let them know that the 1st land respondents to provide really basic Mental Health 1st aid and if the problem is serious to pass on to the appropriate practitioners some would say to not take musses and answer hands now trying to speak for my kids under false sense of competence that they might be able to handle really serious Mental Health issues so i think about something and that we get a consideration. That maybe i guess how that. How do i say i was just going to say like its very its very interesting because like you said obviously its not you know 7 the Mental Health crisis in nigeria its not any one group of people responsible its not going to be. People start your battles and neither is it the source has to be at the government but i think something that is really really important for us to take into consideration in addressing any kind of crisis including the like what you just understand in that not being or not about us its about including the who would have disabilities or mental conditions and the presence of nick. Of sorts of reasons and youre going to be able to meet your organs as well dr veiga i want to play this from your mattie web site let me just remind everybody that moneys the mentally ill when i jerry an initiative that he has has won awards for their work have a look here the nations doctors are working to convince the public that Mental Health problems can and should be treated according to help officials there are only 135 high priests in nigeria while there are more than 20000000 people suffering from various types of Mental Illnesses that statistic a scary and i dont even mention that. I am just wondering we have 3 doctors on. The stream right now nigerians love doctors doctors and lawyers if your pet if you become one of those your pets be very happy maybe an engineer as well why is it that they are more psychiatrists psychologists in nigeria if nigerians love the medical profession so much what would the team up there could very very big world a very very big profit theyre not theyre not limited to any particular well. Theres not much that can be done in terms of producing more doctors but i believe them or doctors in training at the moment and wind up if you could even looking about specially marchal doctors in training one of the issues that we have because youre leaving the country going to you. Us where theyre just not going to get out and really help and then we have medical that are not in and in the 2 package we went to medical school i had some of my you know professional locking up like a tree that you know very well why put up with that the very best you got out of the stigmatize it from within the medical profession not just you know outside as well when you come in with this from mohamed on twitter who says to curb this as a society we need to realize that depression is an illness that should be treated the same way that we treat and the other illness.

At 1st glance they could be the remains of an ancient civilization. An eye catching natural phenomenon. These strange tales surround johannas back. The largest city in south africa. But their beauty is deceptive and toxic. In fact the genes a made up of mining weights. The leftovers of south africas them as comfortable industries. And within them like some disturbing secrets. Now it seems that 100. 00 journalists must time to do has uncovered the shocking truth of exactly whats in the mind and just how deadly a maybe. Sunrise america river basin. One of south africas largest freshwater reserves. Bridget corrigan is a botanist. And a specialist in the regions biodiversity. This is a very special catchment for a lot of reasons if its a unique part of earthy from not just the terrestrial but also the 1st one of our diversity is very special its got about 14 species of fish and a lot of really an demick species of invertebrates and Aquatic Insects that contribute to the health of the sort of this river system. There are about 200 trees species in america. Thats 17 of them. And about 400. 00 in the bed spaces. It is a National Treasure and the north west doesnt have a lot of these River Systems a lot of the systems in this province are heavily degraded. The crown jewel of this not true treasure lies just a few paddle strokes upstream. A sanctuary hidden at the heart of the reserve. This is america i were at the source of america river and the water bubbles up from big underground what to kevins at that point of the day the water is clear is anything very low conduct 70 which means theres no salt is not pollutants in this in the system its really very very pure. The water is Crystal Clear but it might not stay that way. Recently the Mining Industry has become interested in the areas subsoil which is full of Precious Minerals regarded as a 10 mining payments for things like. Cup a silver or gold in the region so does pose a risk yeah this place is definitely at risk and its you know we would like to see those places as an absolute no guy for mining if you pollute this this area this this underground aquifer. You cant just get that back its not going to come back. So could the america river basin one day resemble the of the deseret landscapes left behind by the South African Mining Industry. Like these flat lands dyed red by chemicals. Or these mined tailings in the midst of south africas forestalling and. Some of them date back to 1886 when gold was 1st discovered and understood motown culture comes. From that point on the Mining Industry began to deposit its to breed all around the city. More and more waste piles of head. Often only a few dozen meters from residents homes. Some of the may look as innocent to sandy use but they are mine tailings the slag heaps of years of extraction and digging for gold i dont go there to scare. Away. The day it comes or is here a whole year its run as was the day i bought you know. Because i was out to disable a pussy ass with. The pretty awkward reform just over i dont even trust president just. Sort of at the plutocrats want to drive is brutal. The course still to discuss and mature enough to do. So what does it mean for those living next to these dunes. Like yeah thats me. So does the wind come from the minds earnings it flows this side of the rose this side or this side from just like tiny dylan mimi is a mother of 5 she spent all her life in the shadow of one of the largest mining dumps in the country its residue is everywhere. John the neighborhood has become one huge sign reads your. 22 year quote from the. Sun times yes your eyes become ok this is not tribes if you go to the to new day this choice is some mix some chemical in the act so im advising you today not to go to mine because its very dangerous to be its unhealthy at the same time to go you must think it or. Leave it you go busy to. A few months ago tiny dylan mean he wanted to find out how many people in her neighborhood of over a 1000 residents were unwell so she knocked on almost every duel this house had as keith. This house then maga the owner of this house as i just told them this one you come here often here each and every man no women or child around here is coughing has a pope him of coughing as appropriate his skin some of them up only to. The man who. Says. He them i want to test in your question i will run off with a. Question that needs. Over one and a half 1000000 South Africans live in townships like this. At the foot of mine tailings mountains. Thats the south of it gets into our food week this past week drink this that so that is why so many people here this is the silent killer this dust doesnt just make people vomit or cough several children in the neighborhood suffer from severe Neurological Disorders. I dont believe you know for years you know if you really. Believe. That if. You returned to 6 years old. She suffers from a paralyzing brain disease are you doing well lately however her family saying the tondo was born perfectly healthy the problems arose soon after the roof of the house was under repair at the time and the dust from the mine peeps gotten this dust you pull your kid in the piece. Before you sleep you must face. That and everyone kids oh yeah a few weeks later the 1st signs of illness appeared in the years since the tundra has been unable to. Communicate with her. When she she was to be changed. Yeah and then she she kicks it is ok you know maybe way she wants you to go i said richie she kissed. Him and she screamed so. They you know she has to go say you want to. Poverty has always prevented the family from being able to prove a link between attenders illness and the mine dust but they are no doubt if there are other areas like under our own i was the same symptoms same Health Issues yet i do know and theres a danger to them its going to grow the only problem is that they are ashamed of their kids all and here they dont want anybody knowing up like their kids and the situation theres 2 of them open houses in the in the same street youre going to have them there many of them you know personally personally strange is something that has made you only find them here this is actually centered it in my angel to them out today telling them to do today dont be so bad if you go of any distance from here in eve you me never find this key. To find out whether the dust from the nearby mine tailings really is the cause of peace illnesses. Must climb snake park hill. It has been abandoned ever since the mine was closed. Access is supposedly forbidden theres nobody guarding the site which extends over 4 square kilometers while the armada 06 is being run from as was rivers each. Day since then to me it turned to this it. Was a major. Crisis. Takes 500 grams of the sun. The dust thats blowing over the village but no. On the way down he finds a green lake at the foot of the slope. Its used mostly to area gate adjacent farmland or residents also give it to their lifestyle sometimes their children even bay the net this was all. Ok or if i could put in will do. For the. Paws of the news media have put it. Frankly linda is professor of environmental studies at Northwestern University in south africa can see me. Linda is also an expert on mining illusion the government the World Health Organization writes with his help has developed a scientific her took a test kit for different wood to pollutants yes so im at the bottom of the mine turnings theres some water all around i was wondering which parent those fish do you think i should analyze 1st in the water you see finding. The tracks translate to. Elevate. Your eye. As you thought it would be recently gone by. So going to. Be done but in point of misery. So theres a through it. And you can also take we just call it. And. All you would like. Us. So i think its likely. That your son committed just so you know it was all example of what that says on the ground 0 the maximum and were going to continue to pose for then. Its impossible to analyze everything there and then so must takes another sample to check for more pollutants later. But the tests have already thrown out some serious questions. After some convincing one of the countrys top 3 gold produces agrees to a meeting. The 1st of the. Goldfields 8750 kilograms of gold was mined at the site last year. The team cant go underground into the mine itself and the company will only allow them to film surface operations we get a lot from from the start. But i know you will see on the front end theres some. Business trying to include we are doing a plus minus 5500. 00 tons. A day i mean we have reaching out on 300 tons valid depends on the order availability and how many times of who is there. So there or that you see on the still fall is i mean at the plus minus 5 days but done thats always i currently. Only 5 grams of gold for each ton of mind thats a remarkable ratio. And it means a huge amount of residue to be disposed of. The precious metal is separated from the rest of the and then heated in these killings. Probably to make goes there we used to im i sit in the sun that still free my eye to make those you know prices and the quarter mega nice instead they got. The concession that c. P. R. So you add all of these together with these with the ball. The last stage is the cost at 800. 00 degrees celsius for 40 minutes. The end result gold bars. At 84 percent purity each weighs in at just over 16 kilograms and is worth around 538000. 00. Goldfields makes 5 of these gold balls a week. Producing 16200 tons of residue you equivalent to the weight of 2 of frances eiffel towers. The company has wasted human lives here on this he said constantly 24 hours a day by these pipelines connected to the factory. Within a few years this hail will become another Steep Mountain of debris reaching up to 70 meters high. Andrew passons and Stephen Joseph are its grand architects. Whats in there. What is its. Well its its whats left over from there from the extraction process its the rock that. Held the gold. And whats left behind off the gold has been removed so its silica and other materials its the sand. And other metals but many silica is there and you have the missiles for example there. Could be trace amounts but but very small concentrations. In some of the gold ores there is uranium sauced deep has very little uranium minutes or so. Theres very little uranium and in this in the stomach you. Can really. Not offhand i think the numbers around about 40 to 50 grams of time. 50 annually south African Mining companies extract 10 times more uranium than gold the uranium is then abandoned leaving behind radioactive mined tailings so the kind of control you do the samples you are talking about is on daily basis the gold from. But the radiation 5th of may be. Ok or. Over time the waste produced by south africas gold industry has formed increasingly large radioactive heaps dumped outside in the open at. According to official estimates the mine tailings surrounding johannesburg now contain an astounding 600000 tons of uranium the quantities are so high that in reality the mountains of waste should be classified by the state as Nuclear Installations they should be confined and secured and kept at least 500 meters away from any residential area but those rules are routinely ignored as here into the shaft a township with over 20000 residents. Of. Bruno sherry ron is an engineer in Nuclear Physics and an expert from korea ratched a Research Association in radioactivity when i was i was the only. Guy who. Visit us. That commercial school she can do what she was going to seduce there would be a little bit difficult or also paul not just on the well you know office all the moves you want to take to sort of yeah i make sure the group on television i mean to depict it. I know my point of view the scene i just shot there young men get much it even to be able. To do is to get your in you do risk. Deployed in your she thought of us here your mom and me. Wanting to join an. I dont is wrong but you dont want to do this with this point 30. 0000 because you owe and you cannot sell gounder ticket for 3 years in a cell with a contract on lets work on the us because you will stay for. Just one. And only because you want to force the daughter to try. And they said no. Do you think you can find us. Do you think it was only one tree for. Her and. How did we did to close your name let that body does she mean your. Math time has discovered that radioactivity levels here are close to those in the exclusion zone around the site of the 1986 Nuclear Disaster he follows the grazing animals to eric from gomez nearby farm. Eric keeps around 40 goats and a few sheep none of which seem to live very long linen above all he said last week last week by 01 month 11 months of all yeah well yeah and do you do you have a lot of baby though most because of your. Writings show then said as for success this is the. Eric wants to show us the most common symptom amongst his flock. They want to. Know has gone. From a muslim but a muslim i dont know what you must. But this is the fungible what is. It in. The mind so you. Want to learn it cost. And i met. So when you see these every day what do you think. Was the motion and. I would go and talk about to you but its just the bins. It seems as though erics goats have radiation sickness but evidence is needed. Because we are close to the mine tailings farm that. Look really sick i mean according to you do you own or do you think we should do some hair sample of the animals. Just like you. Have to take 5 samples from 2 goats intended to be used for Meat Consumption including one who is blind he was looking. I come up with the results of the show on the factor or the instructor thanks for you but i. Must turn takes the samples to be tested at south africas council the scientific and industrial research. Your views the water from detailing is just across the. It is used as a recursive water jesus integration and also for almost a drink we also had some more small samples train job was done with the soil was contaminated low made competitors and so what can you what can you look forward almost all day that ever the man goes by did that and couldnt and those like you you know now im your lead you know what a cynic which are very toxic. Basically. We need an expert to get them in order once we get them then that reason on our group. As he waits for the analysis time returns to the investigation in part 2. As the shocking results come in he shares the news with some of those affected and comes face to face with an Industry Insider what i found particularly scandals to take the worst possible material which is your radio grind into dust comparable to flour and make a hill out of it and put it into place where people live if hes a colossally bad idea. America is divided like never before inside is so convinced that theyre absolutely correct that the other side is dangerous people in power investigates how partisan politics are raiding the civil norms vital to american democracy every indicator shows america to be the least well functioning democracy of any. One of the strange death of american civility on aljazeera. In a world where journalism as an industry is changing we had fortunate to be able to continue to expand to continue to have that passenger drive and present the stories in a way that is important to our viewers. Everyone has a story worth hearing. And cover those that are often ignored we dont weigh our coverage towards one particular region or continent thats why i joined aljazeera. Following 2 fatal crashes and the past year bowen decided to ground a brand new 7 through 7 max but this wasnt the 1st time that grounded a new craft back in 2013 the 77 dreamliner ran into trouble when a better record. But is out of the us Investigative Unit discovered there was more to the problem than just smoking batteries. Rewind broken during the fall and 787 on aljazeera. And i look like another with the top stories here on aljazeera doctors in sudans at least 5 people including 4 students have been shot dead by Security Forces during a demonstration sudans opposition has called for more protests over the killings in north korea front state where a night curfew has now been imposed they were rally against the findings of an investigation into last months deadly crackdown by the military join to it morgan has more on what this means for talks on sudans democratic transition. Well at the moment the Opposition Coalition nick is trying to talk to the minute with the military council they are in it was asians may already know that they signed and initial are sharing agreements earlier this month but there yet just sign that final deal which really contains all the details of how this Transitional Government should look like and what role each and every various institutions will meet now opposition is saying that the talks will resume and theyre expected to meet again to laura but the people on the ground the protesters who have been largely eating these protests are saying that they dont want talks they want justice and accountability for the killings that have been happening since the protests started chinas top leadership has spoken out against the protests in hong kong for the 1st time blaming western forces for the unrest on sunday police repeatedly fired tear gas and rubber bullets to drive back prodemocracy protesters a spokesman for Chinas State Council said that beijing stands by hong kong as leader carrier testers have been demanding that she step down ever since she introduced an extradition built that has now be shelved at least 10 civilians have been killed after asteroids hit a busy marketplace in yemens northern sada province 27. 00 others were injured in the attack and cut to be a district which is a stronghold of the countrys who 3 rebels a hospital spokesperson says at least 2 children are among the dead but the run media has blamed the saudi amorality coalition for launching airstrikes but the Coalition Says the who were behind the attack at least 52 inmates have died in a prison riot in brazil prison Officials Say it happened in the northern paris states and involved rival criminal gangs and it took at least 2 guards hostage and the gang for one another 16 inmates were beheaded in the event are you up to date with the headlines here or not is or stay with Us South Africa toxic city continues. Hundreds of strange mounds lie scattered around Johannesburg South africas most populous city but they arent a natural phenomenon they are mine tailings waste heaps left over from south africas hugely profitable gold industry. Many are also said to be dangerously toxic awash with heavy metals and poisons and radioactive debris. With expert help french journalist must time to do is getting that content scientifically analyzed. And. Put one night while he waits for the results he gets a mysterious Voicemail Message a lot lot of your. Money where your around. In a month well i worked at an environmental geologist me up for a while and i would really much appreciate you you know youre going to come around again i will work about it thank you very much. The message is from a geologist eagle club chick after a 20 year career in the Mining Industry has now left it disgusted by the industrys failure to have his warnings about dealing with its waste ill tell you what i found particularly scandals to take the worst possible material which is you radium grind it into dust comparable to flour and make a hill out of it and put it into place where people live that is a cause colossally bad idea when you when you said what was the only way you doing reports where you listened at that time i have written lots of reports i must have some sort of a record in emails probably over the over 100 so after a while you know i was explaining look what you are proposing costs money i mean 1st of all you have to because the contaminate. The land that is number one number 2 you can actually pump tailings all the way back where you got them from the wood up just a few percent of cement and you can get rid of tailings this way is it basically put it to normal you put it back to where it was how does it make you feel when you see it is local communities complaining about that or their Health Problem doesnt make you fear makes you feel like a murderer. What we have done like i said we have created an enormous and were mental disaster if we were you know growing potatoes and we made and went to mental disaster along the side it would be different we would say ok we are feeding the nation why did gold Mining Industry do it in reached a small percentage of people so we have produced gold which is the most useless thing you know whole world it feeds human greed it has no uses and yet we have made him probably one of the biggest and one mental disasters in the world. So yes i do i do feel like like a murderer as eagles disturbing would sing head master heads back to sea from everett from goma. His current contract possible signs of radioactive poisoning now the test results for the animals are being delivered in place and by frank bender. The janice but professor of studies also one of them of what were joined by name is frank frank and. The professor has come to see erics livestock for himself. You see. The test results a clear material from the nearby mine tailings has contaminated eriks foam and uranium isnt the only problem. For example manganese would be quite significantly elevated in your and youll want to sample over 2 cells times what would what one would find in natural water sources we do have we do have an ego being elevated to solace in times of authentic this elevated 50. 1500. 00 ok the most lets say indicative mental binding impact of that is you are a new in those tailings that is about 10 times what you would see in a Natural Environment 10 times as much so what you what you analyzed in your water you did about 100 times more than one would find it on polluted actual pristine water source of. The farm surrounded by pollution. Its animals badly contaminated and. Its disturbing news. The health of your go to shows the highest level or. You see uranium is 60 times for elevated but all the lead is that elevated to 80 times meaning almost 100 times above whats normal thats the same was cobalt thats the same was also in a 600 times for a nickel but maybe you didnt know if youre just going to say ok all right i can have all of the yes you can have. When a living in doubt for you fly me. A farm when livestock die prematurely townships which children have Neurological Disorders and suffer from terrible coughing fits. But all the medical links between poor health and mining conditions so clear cut. Stoff at this radio call Health Clinic might have some odd sense. Among their patients is. Its the 3rd time this month that my youngest son has taken an l. Ok. Come on. You know i think this is. Neat i let him use. Too much of this stuff was it isnt doesnt like it not to be good just that less is wonderful. Because of them dont know. So how hes going to yours. The baby has called brocade shes. I was just into school and both science sometimes we see the worst so you get a child with a cough like the one that i just saw. She was having a test in drawings of the little does because of the dust is something that you will see on daily average yes your behavior here but number of clues is not really there should be a study like youre mentioning is that everybody who are living lives through their minds if we get a lot of those patients i think definitely we have to do real estate. Astonishingly the South African state has never conducted a study to understand the impact of mine tailings on the population. But can. He catches up with the again. Back and have township at the foot of the mine down and out collecting the. Care is go oh its. Very heavy so you have to do this every day. This is your house ok to leash as the small child with her 4 children. Is again as single i live by the bible is a. Claim and says im a portico like when i land is it a corner quinola feel good telepictures and they were this tiny cabin provide some shelter from the rain but not when the pollution. To leave zulu and her children live only a few dozen needs is from the mind dump where earlier master had measured radioactivity levels 28 times higher than the norm. She agrees to provide has samples to test what levels. Contamination but the response to ok thank you to the new. Song pinay director of the institute for research and scientific expertise and comes online. To mean you know. Will come on do you come on that is commotion to put youll notice even you know if you walk or security and you gale norton im just you know me you. Know me i dont. Know she. Is one of the sort. 1 of i want to go to anybody would want to see what im going to do yes you could fall in on that is this food kind of move. You put in culture get you looking takes yourself. Up to that they dont pay you well thats. Right you turn. Right that should be more than enough. For us and then. The more i mean you would put it. We have to be more. Like this want to. Go next. Or a perfect. Master has also taken to has songs from the time to. The little girl suffering from your own to suit the look. This is one of a lot of thinking so done little. To look beautiful. Ah. And then more 10 in total from other residents living near the mine tailings and sent them via express mail to professor panic in france. Once again theyll be a few days of waiting for the results. In the meantime looking for gold. Some of south africas most profitable export is used in the Electronics Industry some of it is used for investment but most of it ends up as drury yet to the websites of the worlds major Luxury Brands a curiously silent about the sources of the gold. Given that both you know jennifer was full of lies that all. Nor any of them seem to respond to questions show then theres one of them called just how do you know matilda clearly as i dont know holger the flow of their lives and for the joy of business on this one them on this one is of utmost importance you have sort of going to communicate by leaving dont you know from the mother was going to have them visit you more the colder mongia federal police each of them to come from the city indeed not one jewelry brand agrees to provide details of whether gold comes from. New delhi then who can you compose one question the. Italian brand is the 3rd largest jeweler in the world and it certainly seems to be using a lot of gold. Its time to go shopping. Greece head coaches and. Johannesburg located in santa the city among some of the most expensive real estate on the african continent in a luxurious Shopping Mall made by the company displays one of its finest pieces a gold and diamond necklace costing almost 78700. 00. But again no one hand seems to know where that gold had been sourced and we wanted to know whether. Shearing in the net on the jury you knew whether gold comes from if you can talk about it its a call to gold yeah the gold you use in your jewelry. Hey you know i you know the idea that are ok dont you think it is kind of a surprising that you dont know where to go comes from the directors of the material believe me to tell you you know ok ive heard of the. Of the consequences of my a gold mine says i forgot it for example to my own savings this is what you learned in your is better environment to learn to know but. Thats just sorry isnt better stuff ive heard of it worse and worse. Still her thank you very much more you will come. Back in a world overshadowed by the waste dumps of south africas a vast gold Mining Industry. People are gathering in a church hall. Tiny the activist has come to syria to exist and allied their drugs on people with you. So to have all the children whose has something smashed on has taken for testing. What has spread and even the National Media present. Everyone wants to know what the scientists have concluded. Or think you so much again for being here today i really appreciate the fact that youve come quite a long way to be here must all run through the results gleaned from soil and guts samples and then you cools off on some inane and stress plant in charge of analyzing the levels of heavy metal spout in the human head thats been gathered looking for someone to live we dont know it and i was born with a huge tree of a go to clip. You need to shoot. Was a video as you dont know when was the answer is. Yes you will. Surely was it is usual to girl always will you should all you would. Do it dont do. It. So sorry just dont do this for so forward when you would expose your post and go this was on when you were exposed to it with people who are sure that god loves you then dont go and no one is exempt as well while youre in the prison i dont think. Your ex was rule yet it really all was a big yard you know these findings could help South African doctors give me a tandem better diagnosis for her disease. So its all people just like western. People which. I dont. And all those who will focus on. More hockey was killed and its. Ok taken together the result a deeply disturbing. The soil gathered by mass from the mine tailings is full of heavy metals the level of all snake for example is 330. 00 times higher than the norm the water is full of uranium 100. 00 times the international limit the goats are infected their fur contains 83 times more lead than those living far away from the mine tailings and as for the residents some of the children show 64 times more exposure to lead 5 times more exposure to your ania and 4 times more exposure to us nic than the average french person even jesus into easy to mean we eat is dangerous for it. Can cause celeb can we do. It. Looks to give us a lot but usually we dont. Even know shed miss it you know you feel youre on. The mend. You know it didnt really. Feel. Like the way. This is going at one moment and this is not all the people that are really. Miles apart still the scientists who can be still be able to say weve had enough of this mans exposing us all so were building now to everybody once again from a shortage of saying to be sure there was a book is you know weve lost because of insufficient evidence but now were dead documented we really like doing know it whoops the universe. Will know what to. Do very much once again. As residents begin planning their next move. Including a possible legal claim against the Mining Companies. Obtains an interview with the chamber of mines. The industrys association for some of south africas most powerful mining concerns. When youre so pretty pretty you dont seem to see if someone they mean look good enough and you should someone just as soon as your eminence extend to put on you sometimes no. Almost 120 years later staff in a mood runs that were going to is ations antipollution department on string for those issues because the gold producing families do not want to address individually are getting the Environmental Impact of the Mining Industry and do you think its its going in there on the right track on the goodly. Yes there is significant progress achieved this fall in terms of my Main Companies dealing effectively with environmental impediments how does the chamber of mine every convicted Human Health Impact assessment regarding the tellings the mine tunings not its not that im well ok so we dont some some some small bench shows the same scientific analysis that he has shared with the residents back in the township we never heard about that and i dont know. What does that make you think now its quite concerning for me and i think something should be done do you think that the Mining Industry that you represent have a responsibility in these numbers. I think it is with our Member Companies mind he is we do have the responsibility do you leave close to the mind. Why not even me. I mean most of the its i mean most of the i mean those guys they fall on the table as not the other way around they choose to go and stay there thing the people that live around it to these teachings to see huge things around one is producing theyre saying theyre not safe. At all theres a lot of. Environmental risks as well a safety of risks and why do you think youve been clean over all these years of yes to something should be done for the tailings that. When you when you Say Something do you think its something where what is it about eating the media and the we have built in of those should get rid of the yes i think we need an all vote all Management Strategy as the industry and obviously in putting up with government. So what does the government have to say. South africas environment minister declines to be interviewed. And his office says that the subject is not his area of expertise. The ministry of health on the other hand is very interested. I dont believe a book. Is director of the National Institute for Occupational Health 1000. 00. Fundamentally this is of great importance to demonstrate that the levels are so much high and that there will be negative Health Effects on the children and really one of the real tragedies east that the study said why the money has not been prioritized we need to make sure that mines and other workplaces dont continue. To contaminate the Living Environment for communities and so on. Would you like a copy or we would absolutely love to have a copy because you see we dont have this we dont have it inside and then we can go in with our medical teams and perhaps have a sample of those who have got high levels. Of these different heavy metals and uranium and go in more physical examination do blood tests do urine tests and monitor their. The South African government will soon begin a major study on the Health Impacts of mining pollution. But time is of the essence in 2017 Mining Companies extracted 130 tons of gold from South African soil. Producing 27000000 600000 tons of supplementary waste. More ways to be produced next year and the next one and the one after that. There are still 35 years remaining of exportable gold reserves in south africa. How many move it dims will have to be in that time before people realise that life is more precious than gold. Hello there still a bit of a wintry mix across the southeast of australia sunny heading on towards the festival into the southeast victoria weve got quite a band of cloud working its way across the towards the east coast that really will be bringing much in the way of rain with it but certainly being dragged back 15 degrees in sydney quite nice and bismuth just ahead of the system 23 degrees and what you will see is a slight woman in perth for the next couple of days 20 wanted to resell seeis on tuesday set a value on wednesday so again a couple of degrees above the average meanwhile into clouds maybe a stray shower 11 degrees is the best that you will see but that 11 is a little bit better than well see in christchurch over the next couple of days really on cheese day theres a lot of cloud generally across both islands and we are going to be seeing some rain and snow to the mountain tops certainly in the overnight hours 58 in oakland 14 in Christ Church on a wednesday takes a bit of a day so just 8 degrees in christchurch and you can see there just some white just indicating where we will see those. Wintry showers across the alps that we had up towards the northeast of asia and we have got a nice break really in conditions across both of japan a little bit a cab but not too but it should stay dry then you see the rain is pushing in across Northern Areas the Korean Peninsula 29. 00 in seoul. 80 percent of the visually impaired could be queued without access to treatment. Where there was a there was a. Strong. State of the talks between covering over 77 countries how many of these patients received today able to pakistan one mans passion provides flea treatment for over 1000000 patients to get to cuba revisited because iraq. The latest news as it breaks it is long campaigned against what it calls attempts to undermine the state of israel from within. With detailed coverage called power being replaced by eco friendly plants all over the world environmentalists here the pulse of whats been said. From around the world those things just as visible above ground and on the surface are underwater. Bigger and potentially more dangerous thats the best way to describe whats happening with a smoking alternative known as vapor i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful effects of what smoking does between 20132014 alone we start tripling in use among us High School Students and head to head comparison ysaye versus conventional cigarette which one do you think has helped my opinion i think theyre both dangerous take no one else is there. This is aljazeera. Out there on the clock this is the odds are news hour live from london coming up the alleged 911 mastermind offers to help victims of the attacks in the lawsuit against saudi arabia if he isnt executed. Sudans opposition calls for war protests off the Security Forces kill for. School children are running. Iraq between 2 gangs leaves at least 52 people dead at a prison in brazil. And russian Opposition Leader. Returned to prison after being treated for what his lawyer says was a poisonous. With only a sporting shooting. Level completed a 16 year old has become 3000000. 00 richer for playing a computer game. So that the man accused of masterminding the september the 11th attacks on america says he may be willing to help the victims and their lawsuit against saudi arabia in return Khalid Shaikh mohammed wants the u. S. Government to forego seeking the Death Penalty against him the saudi government has been accused of helping to coordinate the 2001 Suicide Attacks that claim nearly 3000. 00 lives its hackers hijacked planes and flew them into the World Trade Center and the pentagon. Denies any involvement lets go straight to particle hang across one whos standing by for us in washington d. C. And patty tell us more. Well this is a its a little bit more subtly written by the lawyers in this case as you mentioned the family is the survivors the victims are suing saudi arabia and as part of that lawsuit they do a discovery process and one of the one of the people they want to talk to is collegiate Shaikh Muhammad and his lawyer responded and heres the filing right here is just filed in the Southern District of new york and it says today the counsel for muhammad informed pcs that mr muhammad will not consent to a deposition at the present time so hes hinting that he could counsel stated the absence of a potential death sentence much broader cooperation would be possible so sending that message to the federal prosecutors if you want to know what he knows than take the Death Penalty off the table that is something that the last prosecutor Guantanamo Bay had floated the idea of doing basically giving everyone involved 911 life sentences in exchange for taking the Death Penalty off the table he has since been dismissed so hes definitely trying to send a message that he could be able to help in this lawsuit but 1st he wants to make sure that the he doesnt die by lethal injection or some other method what traction is is likely to get to one of the u. S. Administration will they make it. Well theres these are 2 very Different Things ecliptic muhammad is in Guantanamo Bay facing criminal charges for his role this is a civil lawsuit so the 2 dont necessarily overlap we havent heard what the president might want to do in this case he has shown that he has a willingness to interfere in judicial proceedings where his predecessors did not his testimony though would be controversial if he was say able to help with this lawsuit the lawyers for saudi arabia would probably be able to paint a pretty damning picture because of his treatment its widely believed and known that he was faced severe torture at the hands of the Central Intelligence agency in those secret prisons right after 911 so any of his testimony could be called into question this again is just now developing so we havent heard any official reaction from the administration but if we do well pass that along or about even if the timing thanks very much the pentagon hit in washington d. C. Well this all comes as the u. S. President signed a new law giving permanent benefits to 1st responders who became ill in the aftermath of the september 11th attacks the legislation guarantees federal funding through 228924 more than 18000 people who will qualify for the benefits 1st responders who rushed to the science of the twin towers in new york and others who worked for months cleaning up were exposed to toxic chemicals causing serious illness and hundreds. Speaking before signing the bill trump said hed be in there alongside 1st responders in the aftermath of the attacks drawing ridicule on social media many of those affected were Firefighters Police officers and other 1st responders and i was down there also but im not considering was no 1st responder but i was down there has been a lot of time down there with you. Now adults in sudan say at least 5 people including 4 students have been shot dead by Security Forces during a demonstration sudans opposition has called for more protests over the killings in north korea and state they were rallying against the findings of an investigation into last months crackdown by the military didnt have morgan has more now from neighboring ethiopia. Was was they came out of the classrooms in north kordofan state to complain about bread shortages and the rising cost of fuel and transport was. But minutes after the student protest started in the city of a moving Security Forces opened fire i. Went to. My brother died as a martyr and i would not cry over him because god willing hes in heaven slots for blood we want to accept anything else. The funerals have been held for some of the several People Killed some reportedly by sniper shots to the head the Central Committee for sudans doctors which is allied to the opposition says doesnt sustained critical injuries. Following months of political turmoil one protest parted on saturday protesters infuriated by the announcement from the Committee Investigating the prodemocracy sit in killings on 23rd in hard to the committee announced that the ruling military junta wasnt to blame and that 87. 00 protesters died activists see the truth is more than 100. 00. Hours after mondays killings in protesters in other cities came out to condemn the renewed violence many demanding that the Opposition Coalition known as the forces of freedom and change halt negotiations with the ruling military to form a Transitional Government. Both sides signed an initial power sharing agreement earlier this month but are yet to agree on a final deal and former government some activists are concerned that the talks and deals seem to be centered only in the capital is this something that only happens outside and areas that are not part of the center is it like people in the center can come out and protest and theyre ok but people in that if we cant so we need to know the answers to these questions. As talks between the Opposition Coalition and the military gen to continue the demand for civilian government as well as calls for justice and accountability not just for the lives lost in fulfilling june but for the sudanese killed in protests in many other states nationwide since the. People morgan aljazeera i just if you appeal to brazil now where at least 52 inmates have died in a prison riot prison Officials Say it happened in part a state in the north and involved rival criminal gangs they took at least 2 guards hostage as the gangs for one another 16 inmates were beheaded lets get more from. It its extraordinary deadly battle is it tell us more. Well another dramatic prison riots in brazil this time it happened in the city of media in the Northern State off by that thats when around 7 oclock in the morning a group of gang members tried to take a sec tour of it within that prison of another group and thats what started the fierce fighting apparently they set up several fires in order to prevent Prison Guards from reaching the area where the my age of fighting was taking place 16 people were beheaded and the rest died 52 people in total but the rest died because of social cations because of the fire that was created there right now there is no real information of what started there is an Investigation Underway or 3 days are saying that they had no Real Intelligence information that Something Like this was going to happen but brazils minister of justice said is your model the leverage that the old car wash operation judge thats currently the minister of justice in brazil has called for an emergency meeting he also said that here they were putting more intelligence within the ground and also increasing the presence of Security Forces in the area. Of the brazil is a huge prison population has moved against the 3rd largest in the world something about violence certainly not uncommon. Well thats her thats not the 1st time Something Like this happens in brazil earlier this year in made another massive prison right here in the state of as thats right next to find out where this one happened and this one happened in several prisons there were around 55 people lost their lives again brutal violence and what most analysts are saying is that the main reason is that brazil has one of the highest homicide rates in the world again also the worlds 3rd largest prison population that is filled with overcrowding inhumane. The situation inside is a new main and again brutal repression and riots happening there and why. Why is this gangs in most cases most of that what were seeing is that one gang is fighting another and brutal violence is used to send a message the more violent this riots are they send a very strong message to the rival gangs and what most analysts are saying is that authorities try to resolve the problem creasing Security Intelligence among other things but theyre not solving the real problems that are affecting brazils prison which is basically overcrowding and a shortage of staff so those are the major major issues that have not been resolved yet or a target thanks very much stories about reporting there. Coming up on this news from london saving lives in a war zone the hospital is under attack in syria last rebel stronghold plus. Its less than welcome to meet scotlands 1st minister and made warnings he could be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. And getting the band back together straight is ball tampering players are preparing to take on england in the ashes thats come out with peter. At least 10 civilians have been killed after strikes hit a busy marketplace in yemens northern sort of province 27 others were injured in the attack and cuts a bit district a stronghold of the countrys 50 rebels spokesperson says at least 2 children are among the dead who the run media has blamed the saudi Iraqi Coalition for launching the strikes the Coalition Says that hes behind the attack at least 14 civilians have been killed as government warplanes pound rebel positions in hama. The airstrikes have left few hospitals to treat the injured and a hunter has more now from an talk in turkeys border with syria. The intensive care unit is full of the war wounded this 3 month old russian backed Syrian Government offensive in northwest syria has left at least 2000 men women and children with injuries many of them severe and there arent many hospitals still operating in the rebel held province of idlib thats because Health Facilities have been destroyed in airstrikes that International Aid agencies say seem to be targeted attacks in breach of International Humanitarian law. Theyre leading clear think of the number of this really an injury is coming to us and we cannot cool with. Number of basins because this number is there being pleasing and the kinds of injuries is different. And some like one year old but there we are now maimed for life civilians medical workers and Health Centers have all been targeted in the offensive the strategy appears to put pressure on the opposition support base in an attempt to force the rebels to surrender. After almost 8 weeks of military operations the Syrian Regime has been able to retrieve parts are huge chunks of the Demilitarized Zone and if not they have proven to be quite inefficient and Holding Ground so after 8 weeks theyve been only able to get around 1. 5 percent of the demon try still on the other hand oppositions been able to get 30 script along to areas that were under regime control. Its not clear if the hind the scenes negotiations between the backers of the warring sides russia and turkey are responsible for the changes on the ground but for the 1st time in weeks Syrian Government troops advanced into rebel held territory in northern hama they reversed the oppositions gains and this time without facing much resistance. Is military support to the rebels is believed to be behind the repeated failures by the pro. Damascus alliance to take ground this gave turkish officials leverage over russia which recently used its own card by intensifying bombardment of civilian areas the question is whether a compromise has now been reached ahead of a new round of syria peace talks between russia turkey and iran later this week and the capital. The opposition says the ceasefire needs to be revived in before there can be any progress on the political front that troops cant come soon enough for the syrians in the rebel held province who have already lost so much senator there on talking russian Opposition Leader like he never only has been transferred back to prison after receiving treatment for what his lawyer says was a suspected poisoning their own he was rushed to hospital on sunday after suffering from facial swelling and rushes Authorities Say he had an allergic reaction while in the Detention Center where hes serving a 30 day sentence for organizing an authorized protest melanies personal doctor says shes taken samples of his hair and clothing for chemical testing. I urge my colleagues that he should be left on the medical supervision for at least 3 more days when the key tests and research is ready however sadly by order from above he was just discord by police to the detention room you know in the field that almost. Everything has been done to remove a demon so the nothing is seen he has been injected prednisolone in huge amounts of course to practically gone but what is next or how does the body react is unknown this is a poisoning by some unknown chemical substance what it is where it was nobody can tell now has not been the term and for now. Well from polonium to poison umbrellas theres a long history of dissidents being targeted with toxic substances although the kremlin has consistently denied involvement here in the United Kingdom former russian Double Agents scribal and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in march 2018 the British Government says the kremlin ordered them to be poisoned with the nerve agent novacek another former spy thats Alexander Litvinenko died in london in 2006 that after drinking tea laced with polonium 210. 00 which is a rare radioactive isotope a british inquiry said that russian president Vladimir Putin probably approved the killing then theres red america russian opposition activists he says he believes attempts were made to poison him in 20152078 German Laboratory found he had elevated levels of heavy metals like mercury in zinc and ukrainian president ial candidate Viktor Yuschenko when he suddenly disappeared from the campaign trail in 2004 he reappeared later but with a disfigured face and doctors say he was poisoned with dioxin russian and Ukrainian Security services were suspected there and further back in 1988 during the cold war in fact bud gary an anti communist dissident georgy markov he was killed when someone used an umbrella to fire a rice unlaced pellet into his leg on londons mostly bridge the soviet k. G. B. Was blamed for the attack so lets take this on we can speak now to peter reza love whos a criminal critic and member of the protest group was he right he suffered his own suspected poisoning last year was flown to berlin for emergency medical treatment and joins us via skype from in estonia and peter welcome to the Program Point to get your perspective in this novell make a sim and to do so just give us a little bit more context about what happened to you. Well basically what happened to me is about a month after we did a very. Loud action in russia defining of the world in the final of the few for world cup in moscow i was poisoned by unknown substance while i was in oregon moscow and basically after that it spent about a month in recovering from very heavy situation i was unconscious for about a week and be sickly not in a good mental state for about 2 or 3 weeks in the german hospital where i was flown after moscow right so given your experience whats your assessment of whats happened with the election of on the well we know today that he has already been cleared to go back from the hospital to the prison by the hospital thirtys that. Examined him so it is evident that his condition isnt obviously as bad as mine which was like a knee death state. It was most likely what happened what happened to him yesterday was a poisoning because he has no history of allergies and his doctor and with his think that all the sounds indicate that it was a poisoning but the substance was used which one was quite quite late so he had no intention of causing issues demonstrating it was kind of just to basically play on his nerves and show as a criminal acts demonstrate that he can do virtually anything in any circumstance and you think thats what its all about its presumably warning people like people like yourself to be quiet. Well i want its a warning because like you know things like that dont go does it will work on us im still i was back in russia essentially almost 3 months after my poisoning bad doing exactly the same think its kind of a sign that the kremlin likes to sense that they can do. Anything and no matter how loud the public outrage they will still be doing it and its going to we are them to showing their. Power and with the camera but at the same time it shouldnt be the intellectual capabilities of Russian Special Agency Agencies should not be overestimated they have done some very weird and funny. As you can see operational choices and this causes civil said in russia to wonder whether anyone in Russian Special services has any sound reasoning at all or does it concern you thats another attempt might be made on you and is that something that Alexei Navalny should be concerned about if it is proven in fact that he was poisoned well you know you know actually once if you do. Opposition politics in russia if you are active in that field anything can happen to you in any moment from like poisoning to an attack on the street to any other violent acts so essentially if you get into this. Kind of area of activity in russia you should look paired for everything but i think its you know as you. If you think that youre fighting for the right card you should not be scared of things like that thats just the way things are run in russia right. Its just great in fascinating to get your perspective on this do appreciate it thank you very much for the time to very much. Britains new Prime Minister is refusing to meet leaders until they agree to reopen the brics Withdrawal Agreements or johnson has been holding talks in scotland with the 1st minister Nicola Sturgeon and shes accused johnson of pursuing a no deal bricks which she says will be deeply damaging for the whole of the United Kingdom but in baba reports now from adam. Using a smattering of applause for the u. K. Prime minister as he arrived for told to scotlands 1st minister yes they shook hands but they were never going to see eye to eye even before he arrived Nicola Sturgeon warned Boris Johnson he could be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom if he delivered no deal breaks it its fair to say these 2 politicians have a very different vision of the future. After their meeting at her official residence she repeated her warning behind all the bluff and bluster this government and the path that it is pursuing i think is dangerous it became clear to me that this government the new Prime Minister has set the uki on an almost inevitable path to a new deal breaks at the position that it has taken that makes it very difficult to see how any deal can be stuck with the e. U. And i think that would be catastrophic for scotland and indeed for the whole of the u. K. At a naval base near Glasgow Johnson outlined plans for new investments in parts of scotland wales and Northern Ireland worth almost 400000000. 00 but his governments also spending more than 100000000. 00 on an Advertising Campaign informing the public about a no deal breaks it and he says he will meet e. U. Leaders if they dont agree to revisit the Withdrawal Agreement and scrap the socalled backstop designed to prevent a hard boarder in Northern Irelands what we want to do is to make it absolutely clear that the backstop is no good it did its got to get there with broad agreement its got to go but there is scope to do a new deal before meeting the 1st minister Boris Johnson headed to the Scottish Parliament for another tense meeting with the leader of the Scottish Branch of the conservative Party Ruth Davidson she says she supports the Prime Minister but has firmly rejected the idea of a no deal breaks it arguing nobody advocated it in the 2060 Referendum Campaign her allies are warning the johnson governments approach could boost support for independence which is already on the rise as a party for independence and gotten almost 50 percent if not a majority but it is a serious conflict between the 2 governments then that could provoke another independence referendum maybe not immediately but after the next scottish elections the Scottish Government a far from the only people warning johnson hes in danger in the union whether they try to hold another independence vote in the near future could depend on whether politicians in westminster are able to stop him the dean barber al jazeera edinburgh. Scotland 1st minister isnt the only person mourning the burros johnsons strategy could lead to the u. K. Breaking apart the divisions were already stark in the 2016 referendum the u. K. As a whole voted to leave the European Union by 52 to 48 percent thats reflected in england and wales where a similar proportion of people voted along the same lines but scotland which rejected independents in 2015 voted to stay in the e. U. By. 62 percent the Scottish National party now wants another independence referendum and if the u. K. Crashes out of the e. U. Without a deal its a similar picture in Northern Ireland where nearly 56 percent voted to remain the arch Prime Minister as well in the no deal breaks it will raise the question of reunifying the province with the republic of ireland and spain to Michael Kenny whos director of the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at the university of cambridge joins us live via skype from housing failed professor kenneth tell us what your view is here is it overstating the case that Boris Johnson might be the last Prime Minister to oversee the United Kingdom. We cant be certain of that yet and certainly we are in a proposition in terms of you know and have been ever since the result of the brits a referendum and you just talked through the results sort of caused this this sort of deepening tension between some of the different parts. But now with Boris Johnson as Prime Minister we have a new factor in the mix and particularly does pursued a strategy of making a serious option and perhaps even shifting to a very remember option now tension thats right its very difficult questions about what would be seeing how the perceived out so i mean. Those are also carried. Out in normal and about 2 to 2016 so he may not be the last Prime Minister but he could be the catalyst for france dissolution. Well i mean you know what im saying is that there have been tensions in the building you know for to some while. Before the Scottish Independence referendum but certainly since things weve been on heightened alert theres been a current conflict with the government and that is led by the s. N. P. Which is a party committed to independence but the question of the future of the u. K. Has been on the agenda since come along were made that even more complicated because there is so interplay between the 2 so. Certainly we need in terms of politics at westminster im ok. Towards managing you making sure those tensions dont get out of the question is ready is Boris Johnson the current Prime Minister go platinum can he manage but its very difficult right if he is he is a union man as it were i mean hes a supporter of the union of the United Kingdom and he knows the dangers of what hes doing one presumes so do you think hes got Something Else up a sleeve he might be he might surprise us in going to Different Directions well thats whats possible with boris i mean i would say that this way that hes walking a line here on the one hand he does not. Know where the sensibility sensitivities in scotland. To bracks it is let alone no deal drugs that are very very high on the other hand there are many voters. Who are really getting quite impatient with the fact that branson has not been delivered and he sees the threat there of the bricks and parts you can just come through and youre going to elections and certainly look you know your politicians in westminster want to live on what you want so hes got to walk a line between the 2 very difficult and maybe irreconcilable forces professor Michael Kelly great a perspective appreciate that thanks a lot thank you.

The leading goalscorer in the history of his country real madrid and the Champions League and after nearly a decade as grayle he joined us a year ago and continued winning trophies. Blue helmeted to leave rail madrid in the way it happened after 9 years and then to arrive in as early to play in a Different League and with new teammates and being only 33 years old i think in my opinion it was one of my best seasons individually and collectively i won 2 trophies the italian cup and the syria title and i won the Nations League title with portugal as you know its very difficult to won 3 titles so for me it was another great year. And one of those former teammates the former Manchester United and france defender patrice evra has announced his retirement from football at the ripe old age of 38 ever made 81 appearances for his country and helped united to a Champions League title in 2008 as well as 5 premier League Crowns and 3 league cups but after moving to more say he was bare and for much of the 27000 season by you wait for kicking one of the clubs fans before again he has been without a club ever since a short term deal with west ham united ended last year.

And russian Opposition Leader alexina valmy has returned to prison after being treated for what his lawyer says was poisoning. So that the man accused of masterminding the september the 11th attacks on america says he may be willing to help the victims and their lawsuits against saudi arabia in return Khalid Shaikh mohammed wants the u. S. Government to forego seeking the Death Penalty against him the saudi government has been accused of helping to coordinate the 2001 Suicide Attacks that claimed nearly 3000 lives in fact has hijacked planes and flew them into the World Trade Center and the pentagon and saudi arabia denies any involvement spread of kohei in is life ferguson washington d. C. Tell us more about this. Well this comes in a court filing from the attorneys who are pursuing this claim remember it is taken years for the victims and the survivors to come to this position the law had to be changed in congress allowing them to sue saudi arabia the president at the time president barack obama vetoed that bill it only to have it be overridden so now the lawyers are gathering evidence and they wanted to talk to a bunch of different people who are in prison and related to the 911 attacks and cleek Shaikh Mohammad responded through his attorneys to these representatives who are want to sue saudi arabia basically saying in the letters right here it was filed in the Southern District of new york because a federal court in the absence of a potential death sentence much broader cooperation would be possible say that hes choosing not to be just deposed at the present time so trying to send a message to the criminal trial that hes willing to make a deal that could potentially help these thousands of people who want to sue saudi arabia the way the system is though its different this whats happening Guantanamo Bay is a criminal procedure this is a civil procedure so its not clear if his request is going to have any impact since its not being made to the people who are responsible for his criminal trial or about it just another day for me if you would on a related issue the u. S. Senate currently voting on president trans vetoes of resolutions blocking sales to saudi arabia whats happening there. Well i have a right here before me and theyre still voting and they tend to take a little while in these things but the vote has been rolling up as more senators come in so let me give you just a little bit of background while we wait to see if it in fact passes what this is is the president dumb trump wanted to send to sell about 8000000000. 00 of arms to saudi arabia and what he wanted to do is allow them through the Raytheon Company to build some of these very classified systems in saudi arabia after the killing of journalists or democracy energy said it stepped in and said no you dont get to buy these weapons with the president then did is he declared a National Emergency in effect going around congress so he wouldnt have to seek their approval hes saying that iran is such a threat that saudi needs these weapons so we saw the senate and the house vote to stop that to say the president you cant do that you cant override congress because it is a pretty unusual move actually the president issued his 3rd veto of his presidency so this vote happening on the senate is to see if they can get the 2 thirds majority they would need to override a veto in the senate then it would move on to the house the original vote was 534045 against that is far short of what they would need to override a veto ive been listening to the roll call so far it doesnt sound like theres a whole bunch of defectors remember the president s own Party Controls the senate but thats what were watching right now just to see exactly what happens if they are able to override the president s veto it seems unlikely they were able to with the last time where they tried to do sanction saudia in yemen but as of right now theyre voting and will of course keep track of it let you know how it comes out but it greatly but with you soon as we get more news on things we want to put it go here to washington. Well all of this comes as the u. S. President signed it a new law giving benefits to 1st responders who became ill in the aftermath of the september the 11th attacks legislation guaranteed federal funding through to 292 for more than 18000 people who will qualify for benefits 1st responders who rushed to the site of the twin towers in new york and others who worked for months cleaning up were exposed to toxic chemicals causing serious illness and hundreds of deaths and speaking before signing the bill trump said hed been there alongside 1st responders in the aftermath of the attack was true some ridicule on social media many of those affected were Firefighters Police officers and other 1st responders and i was down there also but im not considering myself a 1st responder but i was down theres been a lot of time down there with you. Doctors in sudan said these 5 people including 4 students have been shot dead by Security Forces during a demonstration sudans opposition has called for more protests over the killings in north korea fund state they were rallying against the findings of an investigation into last months crackdown by the minute she didnt even morgan has more now from neighboring ethiopia. Was there was that they came out of the classrooms in north kordofan state to complain about bret shortages and the rising cost of fuel and transport was. But minutes after the student protest started in the city of a mobile Security Forces opened fire i. Want to show. My brother died as a martyr and i will not cry over him because god willing hes in heaven for blood we want to accept anything else. Funerals have been held for some of the several People Killed some reportedly by sniper shots to the head of the Central Committee for sudans doctors which is allied to the opposition says doesnt sustained critical injuries oh. Yeah that was the. Following months of political turmoil more protests thought that on saturday protesters infuriated by the announcement from the Committee Investigating the prodemocracy sit in killings on 23rd in hard to the committee announced that the ruling military junta wasnt to blame and that 87. 00 protesters died activists see the truth total is more than 100. 00. Hours after mondays killings in protesters in other cities came out to condemn the renewed violence many demanding that the Opposition Coalition known as the forces of freedom and change halt negotiations with the ruling military joins us to form a Transitional Government both sides signed an initial power sharing agreement earlier this month but are yet to agree on a final deal and form a government some activists are concerned that the talks and deals seem to be centered only in the capital. Is this something that only happens outside and areas that are not part of the center is it like people in the center can come out and protest and theyre ok but people that if we cant on so we need to know the answers to these questions. As talks between the Opposition Coalition and the military john to continue to do the demand for civilian government as well as calls for justice and accountability not just for the lives lost in fulton in june but for the sudanese killed in protests in many of the states nationwide since. People morgan out of their own i just if you appeal to brazil now where at least 52. 00 inmates have died in a prison riots prison Officials Say it happened in paris stays in the north and involves rival criminal gangs they took at least 2 guards hostage as the gangs for one of the 16 inmates were beheaded ok lets get more on this from our. Turns of what more can you tell us about this ride. Well there is another dramatic riot in a prison in a prison in brazil it happened in the city of media in the state of northern brazil and it started very early in the morning this monday at 7 oclock in the morning apparently one a group of gang members tried to take the other side off the prison and thats what started the whole fighting apparently they set up several fires along the way in order to prevent authorities from reaching the area where the major fighting was happening at the time we were able to see some video from there about small coming out within the prison apparently many of those who died aside from those who were beheaded others died because of social cation most of the information thats coming out is from official saudis we havent heard yet from relatives or others who have been affected by this by this incident but its not clear yet what started it i mean in authorities are saying that theyre investigating the whole case some experts are saying that confrontations between 2 major rival gangs thats what started this incidence mostly because of control of Drug Trafficking in that area thats a very its very normal in those areas and brazil but theres an investigation ongoing and the minister of justice. Has said that he was taking immediate action called for an urgent meeting isolated most of the gang members involved and also increased security of the area. This is not on cobra the brazils prison. Well its quite common and as i said before it mostly happens between rival gangs the latest one that happened is in may this year when 55 people were killed in several prisons in the state of amazon as this is right next to were is located where this latest incident took place and its what most analysts say is that whats happening in brazil is a country with very high homicide rates one of the highest in the world the worlds 3rd largest prison population with overcrowding Inhumane Treatment and brutal riots as we have seen and what its very very common is this brutal riots that are happening in the countries mostly because gangs want to send the message that the more violence they use is the easier to keep gang members in line in spite of this government have taken actions right after this riot happened but theres no immediate actions or policies in order to improve the situations in the prisons like over crowding shortages of personnel or guards inside the prison among other things so this is one of the reasons why its very very common this type of situation the brazils prisons. Deserves. Still ahead this hour the oil spill thats choking sea life and peoples livelihoods and interviews your part. I dont know if you want to take your. Mexico all of the ill gotten gains its rich criminals to give to the poor as part of the president s robin hood program.

Better get a reminder of the top stories here on aljazeera and the man accused of masterminding the september the 11th attacks on america says he may be willing to help the victims in their lawsuit against saudi arabia in return Khalid Shaikh mohammed wants the u. S. Government to not seek the Death Penalty against. Sudans opposition has called for more protests over the killing of students and activists in north korea found state doctors say at least 5 people including 4 schoolchildren were shot dead by Security Forces. At least 52. 00 inmates have died in a prison riot in brazil prison Officials Say it happened in paris states in the north and involved a rival gang. At least 10 civilians have been killed off the air strikes hit a busy marketplace in yemens northern sort of province 27. 00 others were injured in the attack and cut to be a district a stronghold of the countrys heathy rebels a hospital spokesperson says at least 2 children are among the dead through the run media has been the saudi emirate he coalition for launching the strikes the Coalition Says that he thinks were behind the attack. At least 14 civilians are being killed is government warplanes pound rebel positions in hama and lib yes drugs have left few hospitals to treat the injured and a holder has more now from montauk you know turkeys border with syria. The intensive care unit is full of the war wounded this remote filled russian backed Syrian Government offensive in northwest syria has left at least 2000 men women and children with injuries many of them severe and there arent many hospitals still operating in the rebel held province of it lip thats because Health Facilities have been destroyed in airstrikes that International Aid agencies say seem to be targeted attacks in breach of International Humanitarian law. Theyre leading please think of the number of this is really an injury is coming to us and we cannot cool wizzy this number of patients because this number is they being pleasing and the kinds of injuries is different. And some like one year old jada but there we are now maimed for life civilians medical workers and Health Centers have all been targeted in the offensive the strategy appears to put pressure on the opposition support base in an attempt to force the rebels to surrender. After almost 8 weeks of military operations the Syrian Regime has been able to retrieve parts huge chunks of the Demilitarized Zone and if look they have proven to be quite inefficient in Holding Ground so after 8 weeks theyve been only able to get around 1. 5 percent of the demon try still on the other hand oppositions been able to get 30 script in on the areas that were under regime control. Its not clear if the hind the scenes negotiations between the backers of the warring sides russia and turkey are responsible for the changes on the ground but for the 1st time in weeks Syrian Government troops advanced into rebel held territory in northern hama they reversed the oppositions gains and this time without facing much resistance. This military support to the rebels is believed to be behind the repeated failures by the prodemocracy alliance to take ground this gave turkish officials leverage over russia which recently used its own card by intensifying bombardment of civilian areas the question is whether a compromise has now been reached ahead of a new round of syria peace talks between russia turkey and iran later this week and the qatar capital nor silk on. The opposition says the ceasefire needs to be revived in lib before there can be any progress on the political front that troops cant come soon enough for the syrians in the rebel held province who have already lost so much so much for their untucked. Russian Opposition Leader alexina brown the whos been transferred back to prison after receiving treatment for what his lawyer says was a suspected poisoning the well he was rushed to hospital on sunday after suffering from facial swelling and rushes with early say he had an allergic reaction while in the Moscow Detention Center where hes serving a 30 day sentence for organizing an authorized protests. You know most of that there was that was nearly everything has been done to remove a demon so the nothing is seen he has been injected prednisolone in huge amounts of course to a demon is practically gone but what is next or how does the body react is unknown this is a poisoning by some unknown chemical substance what it is where it was nobody can tell now has not been the term and for now britains new Prime Minister is refusing to made the e. U. Leaders until they agreed to reopen the brics Withdrawal Agreement for us johnson has been holding talks in scotland with 1st minister Nicola Sturgeon shes accused johnson of pursuing a new deal breaks in which she says will be deeply damaging for the whole of the United Kingdom and he baba reports now from. Susan a smattering of applause for the u. K. Prime minister as he arrived for talk to scotlands 1st minister yes then shook hands but they were never going to see eye to eye even before he arrived Nicola Sturgeon warned Boris Johnson he could be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom if he delivered no deal breaks it its fair to say these 2 politicians have a very different vision of the future. After their meeting at her official residence she repeated her warning behind all the bluff and bluster this government and the path that it is pursuing i think is dangerous it became clear to me that this government the new Prime Minister has said yuki on an almost inevitable path to a new deal breaks at the position that it has taken that makes it very difficult to see how any deal can be stopped with the e. U. And i think that would be catastrophic for scotland and indeed for the whole of the u. K. At a naval base near Glasgow Johnson outlined plans for new investment in parts of scotland wales and Northern Ireland worth almost 400000000. 00 but his governments also spending more than 100000000. 00 on an Advertising Campaign informing the public about a no deal breaks it and he says he will meet e. U. Leaders if they dont agree to revisit the Withdrawal Agreement and scrap the socalled backstop designed to prevent a hard boarder in Northern Ireland what we want to do is to make it absolutely clear that the backstop is no good it did its got to get there with broad agreement is dead its got to go but there is scope to do a new deal before meeting the 1st minister Boris Johnson headed to the Scottish Parliament for another tense meeting with the leader of the Scottish Branch of the conservative Party Ruth Davidson she says she supports the Prime Minister but has firmly rejected the idea of a no deal breaks it arguing nobody advocated it in the 2060 Referendum Campaign her allies are warning the johnson governments approach could boost support for independence which is already on the rise as a part for independence and. The almost 50 percent is not a majority but theres a serious conflict between the 2 governments then that could provoke another independence referendum maybe not immediately but after the next scottish elections the Scottish Government a far from the only people warning johnson hes in danger in the union whether they try to hold another independence vote in the near future could depend on whether politicians in westminster are able to stop him.

From here but the cause of the spill is still under investigation but we ask people not to worry because we have the best people handling the problem we have hired specialists who often deal with this problem even on a bigger scale.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is in Guantanamo Bay facing criminal charges for his role this is a civil lawsuit so the 2 dont necessarily overlap we havent heard what the president might want to do in this case he has shown that he has a willingness to interfere in judicial proceedings where his predecessors did not his testimony though would be controversial if he was say able to help with this lawsuit the lawyers for saudi arabia would probably be able to paint a pretty damning picture because of his treatment its widely believed and known that he was faced severe torture at the hands of the Central Intelligence agency in those secret prisons right after 911. 00 so any of his testimony could be called into question though it is in sudan said at least 5 people including 4 students have been shot dead by Security Forces during a demonstration sudans opposition has called for more protests over the killings in the north called a fine state or a night curfew has been imposed rallying against the findings of an investigation into last months deadly crackdown by the military giunta chinas top leadership has spoken out against the protests in hong kong for the 1st time blaming western forces for the unrest on sunday police repeatedly fired tear gas and rubber bullets to drive back prodemocracy protesters the spokesman for Chinas State Council said the beijing stuns by hong kong was lead to carry protesters have been demanding that she step down ever since she introduced an extradition bill that has not been shelved.

How many of these patients are you seeing today everybody else and i got to last you said. 285000000 people all blind or visually impaired worldwide and 90 percent of the us live in developing countries and yet with the right eye care and medical interventions 80 percent of visual impairments could be prevented if all kids. On drugs just fly c. And im in a zombie at to meet the team of all this on the fly and on most of the oldest flying on hospital is an airplane has been converted into a fully functioning surgical and training hospital which travels to developing countries worldwide. The oldest team has been working here in zambia one of the least developed countries in the world since 2010. 00. 000. 000 i guess i let my mother grandmother let me be their money but i think it costs a little less cuts to. The plane has a fully equipped operating room alongside laser treatment and. Multimedia past an interactive training facility. Richard has been brought in to have corrective surgery on a screen. This relatively simple operation will have a huge impact on richards ability to perform well at school and therefore his prospects for the rest of his life. It also gives a local doctor. The opportunity to work alongside his mentor Laurie Benjamin one of the u. K. s leading our surgeons so you see over there are microscope dr and bony doing the searches together with the dr benjamin its its amazingly well equipped the proper modern you know for a long period the really expected when you come into the plane incredible. I want to show you another interactive feature only on your route here is this monitor over here so you have 18 cameras onboard you have the opportunity a podcast and everything thats happening in the Main Operating theatre to the front classroom and as i can hear is a sudden voice yes said the surgeon doing the surgery as wearing a microphone here so during surgery hes explaining the procedure step by step to the front from classroom and also gives the ability of the participants in the training doctors to ask questions and opens up a fair after another 48 people in the course exactly most of. The action by me which is just have the operation how did it go. It went on we were trying to correct this winter here in terms of for your training had you done many years script surgeries or you involved in all this actually most of the screens that we did during training was observatories is watching lots of what he was doing i see ok so these are really come with this. To date the following our Hospital Team has Trained Medical staff and form surgeries in 78 different countries. One of the most important procedures that they teach is cataract surgery. Cataracts occur when areas of the lens become opaque due to a change in the structure of proteins with linux. Prevents the normal transition of light through the lens making vision blurred or misty over time and without treatment the cataracts make grow barges leading eventually to blind. This is one of the major problems that all these deals with and zambia essentially the problem is that you know the lens which sits just behind your people goes from being totally transparent to a bit cloudy and therefore impacting your vision is a nice way to demonstrate this so if at the moment that normal vision and then with the cataract. Vision degrades to about so you can imagine the impact with this surgery when it returns to know. That you have another unique tool called a Training Program called the high simulator and im going to use it to get doctored up how my heart and i started out after all i just write to you what later does ok mantra id love to go yeah heres my patient gets heres your luckily not real these these are icing a major you know youre going to grasp triangles and put it in the center you go too low you hit the lens and get the culture in your head right you know that means theyre going to ok ok.

Hello and welcome im to go paul and youre watching the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. Be alerted 911. 00 attacks mastermind offers to cooperate in a lawsuit against saudi arabia if the u. S. Drops seeking the Death Penalty against a. More protests in sudan not just Security Forces opened fire at a demonstration in north cardiff killing 5 people. At least 57 inmates are killed in a prison riot between rival gangs in northern brazil many of them decapitated or suffocated to death. Were going to come are. The us. The u. K. Prime minister warns the e. U. Leaders to change their brags that position or he wont even sit down for talks with them. So the alleged mastermind of the september 11th attacks says he may be willing to help the victims in their lawsuit against saudi arabia and return to Khalid Shaikh mohammad wants the u. S. Government not to seek the Death Penalty against him the saudi government has been accused of supporting those behind the 2001 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people the attackers hijacked 4 planes and flew them into the World Trade Center the pentagon and a pennsylvania field saudi arabia denies any involvement or we can now get more on this from patty call hane joins us live from washington d. C. Patty what more can you tell us about this case. Well this is all part of the court filing the suit from 911 survivors and victims its taken them years to get to this point. It took Congress Passing a law that strips saudi arabia of its immunity to time president obama tried to veto it it was overridden so now theyre in the middle of this court case and part of that is theyre asking to depose some of the people that are in prison or in Guantanamo Bay in connection with 911 so the lawyers asked the representatives of. If you would if he would sit down and give them testimony said he was ready to do that at this time this is the main reason is because the government is seeking the Death Penalty. For him and the exact line is that the representative said in the absence of a potential death sentence much broader cooperation would be possible so what this is is clearly chickahominy floating out there that he give them information that could be valuable but 1st theyve got to convince the government to basically take the Death Penalty off the table no response yet from anyone inside the u. S. Government but this is also a group of people the 911 victims and the survivors they have a lot of sway they were able to get this congress to change the law and precedent override a president ial veto which doesnt pretty much happen ever about 10 percent of the time so if they see that if they feel that he could give them evidence they might push representatives to make the deal well the f. B. I. How likely are how is this likely to go down in washington given president trumps close relationship with the saudi kingdom. The president has an incredibly close relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia normally precedent is that the u. S. President stays out of judicial decisions this is usually a Justice Department a department of defense that those people in those departments decide exactly what to do this is a president who has shown himself willing not just to interfere in the u. S. Justice system but in systems of other countries for example sweden when it comes to the case of the american rapper whos been held in custody so its not clear we havent heard from the president he was talking about saudi arabia 9911 today when he signed a bill giving money for the 1st responders but he does have an incredibly close relationship with saudi arabia in fact hes overridden hes had just 3 vetoes in his presidency 2 of them were to protect saudi arabia and its involvement in the war in yemen and the senate just moments ago was unable to override that veto so it would not clear how the president might react but in the past his instinct has been to protect saudi arabia thank you very much patty cohen of the view from washington. Well glenn karl was a Deputy National Intelligence Officer for the transnational threats at the cia and joins us from boston via skype gets a heavy on the program thank you very much now i had to kill him was explaining these are 2 separate cases Khalid Shaikh mohammeds terrorism trial by the u. S. Government seeking the Death Penalty and then a civil lawsuit against the saudi government by the victims and their families of 911. 00 how likely is it that a deal could be worked out and is there a president for this kind of a case or combined case as well i think the 2nd question 1st to my knowledge there is no precedent 5 everything about the detainees at guantanamo the detainees from war in terror are related and enhanced interrogation rendition issues is all unprecedented so its the challenge has been or among the challenges has been even to find a way to have a trial the Intelligence Community and the Law Enforcement unities are both wary of having a trial in the normal Justice System the proposal by the Bush Administration to have military tribunals has been challenged is not acceptable process of law and no one really has known what to do so everything is unprecedented. The 1st part is a deal. A clean sort of arrangement and press and the answer to that is no thats a standard procedure in most American Court systems that the prosecution and defense may find a way to shorten the trial and reach a verdict that is minimally acceptable for both parties so thats possible now as far as National Intelligence officer whats your instinct with with this what kind of a sense are you getting is it likely that Khalid Shaikh mohammed would have concrete evidence that would help the civil case or is this more of a desperate attempt to you know avoid an execution or a death sentence. Well i think he is largely what the almost entirely what the United States government has said he is which was the really the planner or the mastermind if there was a single one of the 911. 00 attacks and so he does know quite a bit of vote the structure of the individual personalities citizens taken how things happened a lot of that was his his thinking so i think he does that interim a she certainly. Isnt usable in a court of law in the United States is one of the Big Questions and thats not all the answer to that is not all clearly yes because information obtained has been tainted and. The defense claims and with cause by having used illegal methods and has interrogation which is euphemism for torture just for starters so i mean given that the trials the guantanamo trials have been marred in pretrial hearings have been delayed time and time again where are they with regards to to the trials of that at 911. 00 defendants and in that sense is this possibly a good idea too to allow a defendant to testify at a separate tot trial. I without being deeply immersed as a lawyer in the legal twists and turns on either side of the question here concerning Khalid Shaikh mohammad my buy but as an Intelligence Officer my initial reaction is that there would not be a problem i would not see a problem in him testifying it can be done in ways that if sensitive issues for the Intelligence Community iraq is that you do things behind ringback sealed doors and cameras called with clear personnel so that doesnt seem to be an obstacle i think that he would have information that is relevant is you trustworthy. Is yet another question and the answer to that is. Is that he is not really trustworthy although he has a great deal of information thank you very much glenn karl gave to great to get your insights on this thank you and the time. The u. S. President has signed a new law giving permanents benefits to 1st to sponsors responders who became ill in the aftermath of the september 11th attacks the legislation that guarantees federal funding through to the year 2902 for more than 18000 people 1st responders who rushed to the site of the twin towers in new york were exposed to toxic chemicals causing serious illness and hundreds of death. Has been criticized for saying he was there alongside 1st responders in the aftermath of the attacks he made those comments in an address before signing the bill into law many of those affected were Firefighters Police officers and other 1st responders and i was down there also but im not considering ways of a 1st responder but i was down there spent a lot of time down there with you. Well donald trump will likely be able to sell 8000000000. 00 worth of weapons decide the arabia after last ditch effort to stop him failed u. S. Senators who are unable to reach the 2 thirds majority needed to override trumps vetoes of previous resolutions which blocked the proposed sales decided arabia politicians opposed to the sales fear for fear that the weapons could be used against civilians in the war in yemen. And in other news there been more protests across saddam after the killing of activists in north kordofan state doctors say at least 5 people were killed by Security Forces when they opened fire on a demonstration they were protesting against the findings of an investigation into last months crackdown by the military. Morgan has more details from neighboring ethiopia. Was that they came out of the classrooms in north kordofan state to complain about bread shortages and the rising cost of fuel and transport i.

The funerals have been held for some of the several People Killed some reportedly by sniper shots to the head the Central Committee for sudans doctors which is allied to the opposition says doesnt sustained critical injuries oh. No that was. Following months of political turmoil more protests started on saturday protestors infuriated by the announcement from the Committee Investigating the prodemocracy sit in killings on 23rd in hutton the committee announced that the ruling military junta wasnt to blame and that 87. 00 protesters died activists see the true total is more than 100. 00. Hours after mondays killings in protesters in other cities came out to condemn the renewed violence many demanding that the Opposition Coalition known as the forces of freedom and change halt negotiations with the ruling military joins us to form a Transitional Government. Both sites signed an initial power sharing agreement earlier this month but are yet to agree on a final deal and former government some activists are concerned that the talks and deals seem to be centered only in the capital is this something that only happens outside areas that are not part of the center is it like people in the center can come out and protest and theyre ok but people if we cant so we need to know the answers to these questions. As talks between the Opposition Coalition and the military gen to continue to do the demand 1st of all in government as well as calls for justice and accountability not just for the lives lost in for the team in june but for the sudanese killed in protests in many other states nationwide since. The. People morgan aljazeera i just if you. At least 57. 00 inmates were killed in a prison riots in brazil 16 of them were beheaded during violence that lasted for 5 hours the other suffocated to death after their cells were set on fire rival gangs attacked each other in a prison and the Southwest Region of pyra 2 of the staff were held hostage we cannot go live to that as a bow and who is and what has areas there is a what more can you tell us about this. Well as you just said this began at 7 oclock in the morning when one criminal organization attacked another part of the president apparently they try to set up several fires along the way in order to prevent authorities from the area where the major fighting took place for what we know right now is at least 57. 00 people died 6 team of them were decapitated and the others were suffocated because of the fire the persons in charge of the prison are saying that this was a targeted attack that it was not a riot it was mostly a settling of account between rival organizations something thats quite frequent in brazil right now there is an investigation to find out exactly what happened with this organizations was power goal well beyond the prison walls the minister of justice said as you morrow has called for an emergency meeting has also isolated the leaders of those who are responsible of this tax within the prison and is increasing security afraid of repro prices but at this point what theyre saying is that his situation is under control and there is a violence in prisons is not uncommon but the level of the violence and brutality seems to happen with so much regularity and brazil whys that. Well its a common problem in brazil and the last incident that happened is last may when at least 55 people died in another type of riots in several prisons in the state of a muscle and as thats right next to again northern brazil next to butt out where this latest incident took place thats when 55 people lost their lives and its not uncommon as you just said and theyre very very brutal brazil has one of the highest homicide rates in the world it has the words 3rd largest prison populations of prisons that are overcrowded with inhumane the situation inside is inhumane according to many of the reports and human Rights Groups have been denouncing for many many years and what they say that most of the incidents that happen inside the prison are between rival organizations most of them Drug Trafficking organizations that fight for control not only inside the prison but also outside and the brutality they use is to keep gang members in line and thats why the images that were seeing coming out of brazil of the situation that we see inside the prison are so violent because they want to set an example of what happens or what could happen to rival organizations theres been several attempts to reform brazils prison but most of those attempts have been superficial they have not been able to resolve the Serious Problems the overcrowding the amount of guards the small amount of guards that i keep in control in many of these prisons thank you very much there is a boat from when as areas for us well lets get a run through of some of those thoughts of her as a describe for us brazil has the worlds 3rd largest prison population and prison violence has been an ongoing issue 56 prisoners were killed in may when fighting broke out in 4 different jails and amazon a states and 10 inmates died from gang related violence last year at a prison in the countrys north these during sierra state the worst incident happened 2 years ago when nearly 150 prisoners were killed in weeks of violence between rival gangs. Jeffrey lesser from Emory University joins us live on skype from sao paulo he specializes in modern latin American History focusing on ethnicity immigration and race especially and brazil thank you very much for coming on the program perhaps you could shed some light on us on the level of brutality were seeing in these prison riot so that prison riots all over the world but in brazil they seem to be exceptionally brutal and violent why is that the few issues that are really right here what is the overriding issue. Is what are the issue is the only story between the rival or the organization theyre all crowded by 2 or more and so. What youre seeing here is a kind of human rights issue where people were put to put together very very small circumstances and that is your reporter going to do earlier these riots are just leading to whats going on in the prison whether theyre on the last day to tensions between criminal organizations outside of the prison which they get was all busy if you will approach right and so one of the main issues with brazil having such a high incarceration rate is the gang the gang culture that exists what happens to these prisoners these former gang members once they leave prison is there an attempt to rehabilitate them or a or even change the culture and or do they just go back on the streets. There is very very little busy. Their Emergency Services for rehabilitation of the prison system shoals or the office of the rehabilitated they are telling all busy. Young people and making them into all more hardened criminals and in bars because there is still a lot of this. So it was an extremely weak state and because the state is weak. Again explaining so what well have in these cases are for example a lack of regard stars who are poorly paid a lack of police a lack of services in the prisons for themselves and so not surprisingly the president just because a kind of a the coolest order with the flagship of the 2 other issues that are going on in pursuing in society which is so i was very very hard on the cycling its its an extremely violent country. Inter in terms of in terms of policy right and so im that brings me to my next question to why then the issue out why does brazil have such a prevalence of culture of gangs and why is the tolerated by the government. I think there are to fill reasons i say you cant understand the culture of games without understanding all the other aspects of. And already one of over julian culture but Brazilian Society. Never from a weak government. Over them weak Central Government so you have a great deal of corruption because the stage isnt fully. Invested including now you have a great deal of that ality because the state cant get involved in that way and so in jittery nation one. Every minute of the world when the state as we. All are comes of busy organizations who are in the brazilian case its criminal organizations and these criminal organizations and then. Only cage to individuals who themselves to represent the state so were constantly hearing about situations in which there may be a politician whos standing will follow their Campaign Funds or funnel through criminal organizations of the stall and so on and so even you we wouldnt expect to see a diminution in criminal activity but actually we see an expansion of that and the continuation of it because its not just criminal activity its power over the water all. The brazilian government all structural political structure and so thats a kind of prison not prison violence thats like need to press said thank you very much Jeffrey Glasser joining us from sao paulo thank you thank you. Plenty more have this news hour including russian Opposition Leader alexina vollies sent back to prison from hospital after claims he was poisoned.

Now a new report into human rights abuses by saudi arabia highlights an increase in the use of the Death Penalty especially for human rights defenders and minors more than 130. 00 executions have been carried out this year alone john hall has more from london. Well this report released a short while ago in the house of commons is more of a legal opinion really by a senior british human rights lawyer and labor member of the house of lords baroness helen that kennedy highlights the alarming her word increase in the use of the Death Penalty in the kingdom of saudi arabia since 2015 aimed particularly she said add to human rights activists and sectarian protestors for nonviolent and protest related crimes the sort of things she talked about mocking the achievements of the kingdom supporting womens rights including the right to drive sending and receiving Text Messages critical of saudi policy the report says that this year alone more than 130. 00 people have been executed including 6 who were children at the time that their alleged crimes took place 24. 00 more although the excess spec the figure could be higher are currently on death row and of those a number the report says are spent long periods of time in solitary confinement or under torture cases of not followed the due process of law nor have they had the right to a fair trial respected and to that extent the report suggests. Executions and those cases are illegal under International Law now among the recommendations of this report obviously a moratorium of the Death Penalty in saudi arabia is high on the list but it also calls for countries like britain and others to take a stand against saudi arabia for these alleged abuses and if necessary the report suggests for countries to boycott the g 20 heads of government meeting set to take place in saudi arabia next year.

The alleged 911 attacks mastermind offers to cooperate in a lawsuit against saudi arabia if the u. S. Drops seeking the Death Penalty against him. Alone welcome im david pollen youre watching out is there live from doha it is good to have your company also coming up. More protests in sudan after Security Forces opened fire at a demonstration in north cardiff on killing 5 people. At least 57 inmates were killed in a prison fights between rival gangs in northern brazil. Were going to come are just deal with a deal october 30 thoughts. On the u. K. Prime minister warns either leaders to change their brags that position or he wont even sit down for talks with them. So the alleged mastermind of the september 11th attacks says he may be willing to help the victims in their lawsuits against saudi arabia and returning Khalid Shaikh mohammed wants the u. S. Government not to seek the Death Penalty against him the saudi government has been accused of supporting those behind the 2001 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people the attackers hijacked 4 planes and flew them into the World Trade Center the pentagon and a pennsylvania field saudi arabia denies any involvement. And from washington d. C. Heres patagonian explaining the proceedings for the Court Proceeding so far this offer of assistance 1st comes in this court filing its all part of the lawsuit from the survivors and victims of 911. 00 against the government of saudi arabia so as part of this process the lawyer said that they needed to speak with the people who are in custody accused of being a can be behind or committing the 911 attacks one of those is collegiate muhammad so in this fall in the lawyer said they reached out to his representatives and hes choosing not to cooperate in this deposition at this time and they say the main reason is because fear of the Death Penalty in the go on to say that he would be much more willing to cooperate if the Death Penalty was no longer a concern the problem for the lawyers in this 911. 00 case is this is a civil litigation what the hes referring to is the criminal trial so theyre really not connected to each other that said these victims these survivors they do have a lot of sway in congress they were able to get congress to change the law so that they could even susa the arabia the president the time president barack obama vetoed that legislation and they were able to override a veto which is something thats pretty much only done in about 10 percent of the cases so they have some sway to put pressure on the government that said the current president do us President Donald Trump has shown an willingness to go against saudi arabia at all so if this would put them in jeopardy its unlikely that the president would push for a plea deal to be made for police Shaikh Muhammad this is unusual most of the time president s dont get involved in judicial proceedings but this is a president who has shown hes willing to do that not just in the u. S. But abroad as well. Well lets get you some background the 55 year old shaikh Khalid Shaikh mohammad was an alleged al qaeda operative who was captured in pakistan has been held for nearly 13 years at the u. S. Military base at Guantanamo Bay in cuba where he and 4 others are charged with war crimes he was a subjected to the socalled enhanced interrogations by the cia without a trial and 2008 the United States announced it will seek the Death Penalty against him a year later mom had confessed and pleaded guilty to the attacks he has not been convicted yet well earlier i spoke to the former cia officer glenn carle and he says its unclear how useful Khalid Shaikh mohammeds testimony would be in court he does know quite a bit about the structure of al qaida the individual personalities citizens taken how things happened a lot of that was his his thinking so i think he does have information certainly. Isnt usable in a court of law in the United States is one of the Big Questions and thats not all the answer to that is not at all clearly yes because information obtained has been tainted. The defense claims and with is caused by having used illegal methods and has interrogation which is you who is in pretoria or just for starters its almost triumphal likely to be able to sell billions of dollars for the weapons to saudi arabia after the last ditch effort to stop him failed u. S. Senators were unable to reach the 2 thirds majority needed to override trumps vetoes of previous legislations pos by Congress Politicians opposed to the sales fear that the weapons could be used against civilians in the war in yemen.

At least 57. 00 inmates were killed in a prison riot and brazil 16 of them were beheaded during violence that lasted for 5 hours the other suffocated to death after their cells were set on fire rival gangs attacked each other in prison in the Southwest Region of potter 2 of the staff were held hostage that has a bow has more details from one of the areas. Another brutal riots in brazil this time in the city of media in the Northern States of apparently at 7 oclock in the morning this monday a group of gang members tried to take over another side of the prison there and thats what started this fighting apparently they set up several roadblocks of fires in order to prevent also relief from reaching the area thats where the major fighting took place and thats where at least 52 people were killed 16 of them were beheaded and the others died because of thoughtful cation its not clear yet what started the fighting most of these are saying that its fighting between them for control of drugs around that area but its not clear yet and there is an investigation ongoing the minister of justice in brazil said your model calls for an urgent meeting he also isolated the gang members and increased security in that area this whole incident lasted for about 5 hours but this type of prison riots are very common in northeastern brazil mostly because it has one of the 3rd of the worlds 3rd largest prison population one of the highest homicide rates in the world the situation in the prisons with overcrowding violence and inhumane condition is what makes the situation even worse and thats why it away with gang members use brutal ways in order to send messages to those from rival organizations most of the government have taken immediate action in order to solve the situation increased Security Intelligence among other things but they do not solve the real problems within the prisons which is mostly overcrowding and also shortages of staff among other things. Well heres some context brazil has the worlds 3rd largest prison population and violence in crime jails has been a security challenge for president j. Or balsa not 0 now and may 56 prisoners were killed when clashes broke out across 4 different jails and i was on a state 10 inmates died from gang related violence last year at a prison in the countrys North Eastern sierra state the worst happened 2 years ago when nearly 150 prisoners were killed in weeks of filings between rival gangs Jeffrey Lesser is the director of the klaas and how institute for Global Research at Emory University and he says the harsh conditions in prison offer little room for inmates rehabilitation. These riots are just relieving to whats going on in the prison rather theyre off by a tensions between criminal organizations outside of the prison which then get resolved busy if you will inside the person that is very very very little busy. Very few services for rehabilitation of the prison system so are the offices are rehabilitated they are taking all busy. Young people and making them into off more hardened criminals and that in part is because brazil has. Been someone who is an extremely weak state and because the state is weak the criminal gangs expand so what you have in these cases are for example a lack of guards guards who are poorly a lack of police a lack of services in the prisons themselves and so not surprisingly the prison just because a kind of a coast order with the flagship of 2 other issues that are going on in Brazilian Society which itself has a very very high on the side its its an extremely violent country.

Syrian Government Air strikes have killed at least 14 civilians and how provinces activists say the governments weeklong aerial attacks have been the bloodiest in 3 months hospitals have been targeted and there are few able to treat the injured they know how there has this report from a package in turkey near the syrian border. The intensive care unit is full of the war wounded the 3 month old russian backed Syrian Government offensive in northwest syria has left at least 2000 men women and children with injuries many of them severe and there arent many hospitals still operating in the rebel held province of idlib thats because Health Facilities have been destroyed in airstrikes that International Aid agencies say seem to be targeted attacks in breach of International Humanitarian law. They leave thank you think of the number of this is really an injury is coming to us and we cannot cool with. Number of patients because this number is they being pleasing and the kinds of injuries is different. And some like one year old but there we are now maimed for life civilians medical workers and Health Centers have all been targeted in the offensive the strategy appears to put pressure on the opposition support base in an attempt to force the rebels to surrender. After almost 8 weeks of military operations the Syrian Regime has been able to retrieve parts a huge chunks of the Demilitarized Zone and if not they have proven to be quite inefficient and Holding Ground so after 8 weeks theyve been only able to get around 1. 5 percent of the demon try still on the other hand oppositions been able to get 30 script along the to areas that were under regime control. Its not clear if the hind the scenes negotiations between the backers of the warring sides russia and turkey are responsible for the changes on the ground but for the 1st time in weeks Syrian Government troops advanced into rebel held territory in northern hama they reversed the oppositions gains and this time without facing much resistance. His military support to the rebels is believed to be behind the repeated failures by the. Alliance to take ground this gave turkish officials leverage over russia which recently used its own card by intensifying bombardment of civilian areas the question is whether a compromise has now been reached ahead of a new round of syria peace talks between russia turkey and iran later this week in the qatar capital nor silt on the opposition says the ceasefire needs to be revived in it before there can be any progress on the political front that troops cant come soon enough for the syrians in the rebel held province who have already lost so much senator there was was 0 on talk. Lets go to hong kong now where protests are going underground with prodemocracy activists targeting trains during rush hour this is the scene and one of the underground train stations in hong kong right now around 5000000. 00 people use hong kongs rail network each day so widespread disruption by protesters could cripple the city sarah clarke is live for us in hong kong so sara whats the scene there. With the moment where one of the you have a cell to sell at a district city home called this particular line where we see the huge number of commuters and take out my home phone line and so its a very busy trying line and we are at peak hours so it is creating comedic tiles and this china has not moved now for about half an hour now as you mentioned about 5000000. 00 people use the chinese system into now its cold here every day so this particular live being stopped supply test is trying to to make amends to send a message down what the protests are doing is that theyre locking the doors and they scatter the whole way along the platform at each particular carriage at this stage its created communique else and now sara the beijing government has made a rare comment on the hong kong protests saying that the priority is to restore law and order so what has that put off the protesters what is this protesters about and is it likely to continue as weve seen in the past few weeks. With this particular message today from these protests is that its a couple of things a couple of key issues number one theyre very angry at the Excessive Force and i believe was used on the protesters of the last few weekends we had the protests on the weekend which ended by the clashes we also have the weekend before what we saw a number of confrontations with again the place for kids of using Excessive Force on those protests but the key issue for all of these so these are these rallies is the the the cool the demand. The with the with all the dumping of this extradition bill this week there are more relics planned despite chinas condemnation of these protests these groups there are a number of groups theyre planning a number of different rallies out there was one another one on friday saturday and sunday this wake up call to mind to put pressure on the government to dump this extradition bill to get sarah clarke live for us in hong kong about very busy train station thank you now indonesias state energy firm says it will take about 2 months to shut down a well thats spewing oil into the java sea and investigations begun into what caused the spill which began more than 2 weeks ago alexey obrien reports. These beaches are the backyards of villages along the streets of northern java and they covered with a black layer of oil thats choking sea life and the livelihoods of local fishermen some have joined the Cleanup Mission a backbreaking process thats expected to take several weeks. Im cleaning up the soil looks Like Crude Oil we get paid to do this 7. 00 a day. The oil is coming from a well that platform leaking into the ocean for almost 3 weeks the state Energy Company put in anuses its intensified efforts to slow the spill installing high speed water skimmers to suck up fuel from the surface and a static boom to contain a sprayed. The stuff that we care about the safety of people specially the fisherman we have coordinated with the military and police and we have patrol boats working 24 hours a day to isolate the location of the oil spill. The companies declared an emergency and brought in the experts that handled a similar spill in the gulf of mexico but they havent to fight the currents and the wind with the oil sheen spreading more than 80 kilometers. On your bum knee because of the spill is still under investigation but we ask people not to worry because we have the best people handling the problem we have hired specialists who often deal with this problem even on a bigger scale. Its the 2nd potential environmental catastrophe for the company in just over a year and underwater pipeline burst off borneo last march spilling 40000. 00 barrels of crude oil it sparked a fire killing 5 fisherman the government ordered person maina to pay compensation for the pollution caused and improve safety procedures. Its too early to say how much oil spilled here in java or count the environmental cost but people here want the leak plugged and quickly alexie obrian aljazeera.

Well hes facing opposition from scotlands leader nicholas sturgeon shes accusing him of pushing britain to words. And asked that he baba reports from edinburgh there are warnings that the politics in westminster could threaten the unity of the whole country. Is in a smattering of applause for the u. K. Prime minister as a rifle told to scotlands 1st minister yes then shook hands but they were never going to see eye to eye even before he arrived Nicola Sturgeon warned Boris Johnson he could be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom if he delivered no deal breaks it its fair to say these 2 politicians have a very different vision of the future after their meeting at her official residence she repeated her warning behind all the bluff and bluster this government and the path that it is pursuing i think is dangerous it became clear to me that this government the new Prime Minister has set the uki on an almost inevitable path to a new deal breaks at the position that it has taken that makes it very difficult to see how any deal can be stuck with the e. U. And i think that would be catastrophic for scotland and indeed for the whole of the you keith. At a naval base near Glasgow Johnson outlined plans for new investment in parts of scotland wales and Northern Ireland worth almost 400000000. 00 but his governments also spending more than 100000000. 00 on an Advertising Campaign informing the public about a no deal breaks it and he says he will meet e. U. Leaders if they dont agree to revisit the Withdrawal Agreement and scrap the socalled backstop designed to prevent a hard boarder in Northern Ireland what we want to do is to make it absolutely clear that the backstop is no good it did its got to get there with is dead its got to go but there is scope to do a new deal before meeting the 1st minister Boris Johnson headed to the Scottish Parliament for another tense meeting with the leader of the Scottish Branch of the conservative Party Ruth Davidson she says she supports the Prime Minister but has firmly rejected the idea of a no deal breaks it arguing nobody advocated it in the 2060 Referendum Campaign her allies are warning the johnson governments approach could boost support for independence which is already on the rise as a power for independence in scotland as almost 50 percent is not a majority but it is a serious conflict between the 2 governments then that could provoke another independence referendum maybe not immediately but after the next got official actions the Scottish Government a far from the only people warning johnson hes in danger in the union whether they try to hold another independence vote in the near future could depend on whether politicians in westminster are able to stop him the dean barber al jazeera edinburgh.

Well those are the headlines well have more news after inside story. Its almost 2 years since more than 700000 ranger fled a military crackdown in ian knox since then theyve been crammed into squalid camps in bangladesh but mammals government is under pressure to take them back so what are they offering and is it enough this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program on Martine Dennis the range of people have been called the most persecuted minority in the world mia mob doesnt even recognize this mainly muslim ethnic group as citizens and in 2 of the 17 it began a crackdown after attacks on its army by some ranger that the un labeled what followed a textbook example of ethnic cleansing soldiers were accused of killing and raping ranger and destroying their villages will than 700000 of them managed to escape to bangladesh saying they wouldnt return until near guarantees a safety and gives them citizenship a government delegation has spent 2 days trying to convince them to leave the Worlds Largest refugee camp and to go home to record states from where they fled 2 years ago. At least those who live in for 3 generations they are entitled to apply for the what we call naturalized citizenship once parents apply for their natural citizenship. Sons and daughters their offspring are entitled to apply for their citizenship so we are trying to explain to them what are the possibility of citizenship so of course according to the lot they may not be entitled for the full fledged citizenship but they are entitled to naturalized citizenship and eventually their sons and daughters and grandsons and daughters will be entitled for the citizenship full fledged citizenship foundering. Definitely will not be consider it as an issue for us because well be granting them as an nationality of myanmar and then eventually we will be providing them with the id cards. All right lets introduce our guests now in dhaka in bangladesh we have ranger recession and writer. In ny fiddle in mia ma via skype we have Phil Robertson Deputy Director of the Asia Division at Human Rights Watch and from london we have ronan levy visiting scholar at the International State Crime Initiative at Queen Mary University of london welcome to you all thought i want to ask you 1st. From what you heard from that senior Government Official whos currently in coaxes bizarre trying to persuade the range of refugees to go back home from what you heard did that fill you with confidence does that make you think that you would like to go back home to me amal fozzy i want to say that theyre not coming to come. Theyve. Theyre coming to in this room which is number one number 2 i thing there gentleman did not read the 982 citizenship law in 9 days as it did to sit in a law to read underage and were automatic became the citizen full citizen of the country because i wanted as is and as gas it is a naturalized citizen and there are certain jenners i know will be automatic full fledged agency but hes now hes saying that that he didnt originally only never lie city gents that is dave brown with the 982 cities and law and hes. Ok his isp is ok im on senate and sorry coming to coming to you you know am i not come back to you in just just a moment lets now go to to Phil Robertson whos in one of the capital of me and more from what youve heard is there anything new in what the government is offering to the. Im on clearly thinks that theres not much involved until that compass wait people back. They have a very hard road to hold to get these people to go back because theres no trust whatsoever. Of these promises that the myanmar Government Officials are making to those people in the camps the reality is that people want to return and have citizenship guaranteed they have heard these promises theyve heard that they can go through these procedures the 1902 citizenship law is something that has been on the books and basically been discriminatory and hurtful to the rowing and they are not trustful of it and theyre not trustful of what the government is promising here so i think that the government myanmar has to do a lot better there i persuade people to go back and rein and said what the government seems to be offering the nub of it seems to be some sort of pathway to citizenship or the possibilities of citizenship is what they calling it all the india for the most part right not to trust the government. They were 100 percent right not to trust the myanmar government as government has on a number of occasions over the last 50 years violently forced hundreds of thousands of out of the country and then when this International Pressure for them to be returned theyve allowed a fraction to return usually with diminished rights so the situation in northern Rakhine State that we can see today hasnt improved over the last 2 years you could argue i think quite strongly that its that its gotten worse but whether or not there is goodwill on the part of the me and mar authorities i think is demonstrated by the actions in and around sit way where there are 10120000 drinking or living in camps that they were forced into in 2012 theyre still there i mean these are concentration camps theres no violence in that area this is an area that me and i would describe as peaceful yet theyve herded reading into camps right i think the ready go right do not trust the ok and a man i mean ronan has already indicated that the persecution of the ranger goes way beyond 2017 doesnt it which is the the period of time that were looking at now you had to flee miramar many years before 1985 tell us about the circumstances that led you to leave your country. As i live from bar moment in a device because of worlds fear of errors by the government out of before the school days of the for about 15 years those of the school in as to the schools. So in 19 people and in and from and they made defoe there look theyre trigamy to address so i have to compress. To flee from my country in 1985. And and ever since then youve been in bangladesh have you presumably still stateless presumably without any kind of travel documents identity documents am i right yeah soon them i was not i have no legal status and well im well and what sort of problems does that present for a person to have no legal status what does it mean for your life on a daily basis i can i stay here standin on the under the sun in braces but if anyone is me i cannot do anything im. Arrested. What do you mean if somebody challenges seem to mean if theres a notification or a dispute youre not protected by law or maybe yeah damn i have no. Right no i gotta stay here and work here. Even i can meet some of the authority of this county but if someone makes anything against me no protection. And fill it with police and us me i have no protection right ok fill your currently in ny fedora i mean that the me and my government has been. Has been noted for its lack of cooperation for its lack of infusing as him to engage with the outside well presumably Human Rights Watch now being in the capital is quite a rare thing what do you hope to achieve and what do you what are you picking up about the need music while shell there well you know we hope that the government will ultimately recognize that it has to do right by the road and it has to alter mentally ensure accountability for what has happened to the road in addition to allowing them to come back to have security guarantees to have citizenship to have freedom of movement all the things that the kofi anon did commission called for in Rakhine State and we hope that this will be something that the International Community will see through as well that they will continue to pressure me on my intil those goals are achieved because i think ultimately the reason that were actually having this delegation going to coxs bazaar is because the pressure has been unrelenting on the myanmar government that they have to bring these people back and they have to bring them back in a way that is dignified voluntary and safe for them and no one has talked about the security guarantees either and i mean this is a big issue for the rowing as well i mean they dont want to return to an area where the security is provided by the same army and police. That were involved in the violations against the crimes against humanity that occurred 2017 right and ronan so so fills of the opinion that International Condemnation is building up a certain head of pressure and thats led to this delegation go to coxs bizarre but it apparently hasnt yielded in anything substantial in terms of the substance of the offer or the substance of of of of what theyre putting on the table for these refugees many of whom seem already to be saying no way were not going back with the substance of the office exactly the same as they were offered before they left which is very little its the ability to participate in a discriminatory citizenship process and to live in a part of the country where there is quite frankly an Apartheid Regime designed to discriminate against them what me and mark is changing at the moment i think because of the International Pressure is its International Messaging and i would consider the decision to visit in the camps in bangladesh not as part of an attempt to convince rethink it to return but as part of a messaging to the International Community its an attempt by me and mars authorities to demonstrate that he is doing something to encourage to return and what they say is that the International Community now needs to increase the pressure on me and ma weve seen very little in terms of holding perpetrators to account for their actions to me during 2017 i mean there was there were crimes against humanity committed in against the regime at that time and no perpetrators have been held to account for that some travel bans. Generals wont be able to visit the United States for instance sent and facebook means that theyre not able to be on facebook so they cant pop. Holiday pictures as as as people sort of often describe. What the penalty is for them but but nothing in terms of seriously holding perpetrators to account right thats what now needs to happen the needs to be support i think for the International Criminal court ok good thought to go back to phil way so phil when were talking about the International Community stepping up the pressure upon the government of of me a man who we specifically talking about because obviously thats a huge. World community isnt it and i think was specifically talking about its neighbors for instance assy and you to be meeting in bangkok in the next week ill say china of course the biggest the biggest defender if you like of of the me im a Government Action is this where the pressure really needs to come from you know to to effect some change felt well i think obviously i see on is a critical part of this but they are hopeless when it comes to applying a pressure to any sort of member state all theyve done so far is done a bit of a survey of the repatriation regimen and what would possibly happen if people came back you know they put out a report that leaked last month that frankly was very inadequate didnt address any of the issues about why the running of fled bangladesh in the 1st place it just glossed over that and immediately went to the operational aspects of it that then thats not enough but i think what we need to do is we need to have the United States and the e. U. And also the u. K. To press much harder on sanctions against the top generals i think the u. S. Treasury has to follow through on that travel ban by the u. S. State department you know and really go after the generals and their assets i think also we have to be looking at the 2 major corporations that operate under military control in myanmar the union of myanmar economical things and there are Economic Corporation these are huge conglomerates with a great deal. You gauge when the International Community and their pressure points that the International Community needs now to push on in order to get some accountability here to sort of get some political commitment from the government of myanmar that they will in fact hold top military people accountable right im on coming back to you and your life as a stateless person in bangladesh is exceedingly precarious we can get that from from from what youve told us already are you not in the least bit tempted go back to again what you me and food was saying in cults is bizarre he was saying pretty soon that there will be id cards where there will no longer be the issue of race or the issue of citizenship it will only be like Social Security cards in the United States with names and some digits do you think that that is something that you and the people you know would be interested in exploring and perhaps going home and getting an ear id. Murders are not legal this is. There at all or is. Lying to the people and have to do or when in 9091 the un or. The bombing of the government to give an Identity Card they give a year look at it here they are say that it is the process step to the citizenship now on the good into there and b. C. No the thing that is that has stuck to of their plight see decency. In burma there was no other citizens. Riya all are holding the National School tomorrow is as good a nice card not citizens it got even aus and susie when me and you know im lying right in the ny minute to do citizens theres no as good an as cut the national id cut are no one here still right has an idea that an important so they arent always playing with the color of god and right yeah im other than that im on we all are already will get our citizens the right to tell us what our life in me in ma is like when you have a yellow college or an id card but you dont have citizenship what does that mean for the life of a person in me in law who is ranger. Not in do do you have the no right to move and the right to a family value right to 0 the right to do gave him a right to have. Here is a no on the only hears to give texas not a month access and theyre still the united texans the government never did that the there are people has to be of them if you study the tests that are of the country we peoples are the most. Desperate people in the in burma right im coming coming to you phil what is the situation now in record stay there recently some satellite pictures released by an Australian Group which apparently showed the remnants of villages that had been razed completely to the ground i mean what do the authorities present as he will tentative accommodation for these people should they decide to take up the offer and and go back home. Well what were seeing is in some cases villages that people abandoned because of the atrocities who fled into they fled into bangladesh and there theyre standing villages are now being destroyed weve seen other instances where partially destroyed villages are completely destroyed and just flattened the question is what is being offered to to these people who would go back and theyre talking about going back to the same area or theyre talking about somewhere nearby but again these are just promises that have not been fully explained you know people want to go back to their areas but the problem is even if they go back are they going to be allowed freedom of movement are they going to be allowed access to basic essential Services Like access to Health Access to education will they be able to move about and pursue livelihoods i mean the freedom of Movement Issue and the security issue is the core of the major problem here that if theyre able to return will they be able to survive or will they return to the de facto apartheid situation that we see in the i. D. P. Camps in the central part of the state where you know ronan said very clearly you know they could have done something to improve that situation they have not done so and that really raises some questions about the political commitment of the authorities to allow true freedom of movement and real rights for the running of people right and rain and it i suppose its useful to remind ourselves that mia mary is a. A country medium size country with 135 official ethnic groups thats a hell of a lot isnt it in terms of reckoning state were concentrating on the plight of the range of people but there are other ethnic groups as well who feel themselves to be marginalized and quite often brutalized as well by the mean mouth artists. Will they are the United Nations Human Rights Council Investigation Team highlighted crimes against humanity committed by me and miles military against groups in the chain state shan state and Rakhine State so its a Major International report highlighting that serious crimes by me and mars military not just against the really good but against other groups and that the key point here is that me and mars military is constitutionally above the law there is no one in the government who can hold them to account so its really now up to the International Community to do that now you could argue that Aung San Suu Kyi as the civilian leader of the country has some i think moral authority to hold the military to account but shes demonstrated that shes not interested in doing that right he has absolutely no interest in calling out the military so its really left up to the International Community run this film as phil suggested the what a key way to do that is to take away their sources of income. Or ite fill in naypyidaw in record stage there seems to be several axes of conflict its not just the military is it. Attacking the ranger there are also monks there are also ordinary civilians who are who are nationalists of one order or another so it seems as though there are many different layers of violence that the particular record in the north west of the state could face so the security guarantees are essential for these people if if indeed theyre going to go back home. Thats absolutely true and the reality is that people are also going to face discriminatory restrictions from the state authorities and from the local authorities this is why i think if you talk to the ruling on coxs bazaar theyre talking about International Security guarantees they want International People being Access Allowed access to northern Rakhine State you know theyve even talked about u. N. Peacekeepers which i think is unrealistic but the fact is that even humanitarians or people like monitors from the Un Refugee Agency are not able to get into the areas where mars proposing to send these row into without International Access and some sort of protective mandate for International Staff to be able to go in these areas and monitor what happens i think its be very difficult for the government of myanmar to persuade the running going to go back right and give the last word to you. Having listened to all of this do you think you will ever ever be able to go back when youve been outside of your country for more than 20 years will you ever be able to go home at the moment in burma the power will is of the army she she can do in and do of the do anything anytime in any means the governments are not going to do the end of the government is only like food lets try again which rather stand by lehman. And the on call me than me by televised anime then something and. So. At present and i do in the we can go back to hold on liza and im living down as an economy in the. City who would it be.
