Sports. To missing a penalty from Manchester United and the u. S. Wainstein get their data in court as a judge decides their gender discrimination case will go to trial next year. We begin in syria where opposition activists say rebels have withdrawn from the strategically important town of hunch in Southern Province as follows days of fighting which saw them firing rockets into government territory the Syrian Government has told its forces which are backed by russia but the battle isnt over yet. The rebels also retreated from the town of malta coaches in hama and is the site of a Turkish Military observation post. In Southern Province is the main Population Center that used to be a place where 100000 syrians took shelter before the military escalation began in april towns in nearby and northern hama countryside have fallen to Government Forces rebel fighters would have risked being besieged if they didnt move further north but for the Syrian Government the big prize was getting control of that will give it access to the 5 its an important economic highway that crosses the country zanuck orders a life for us in beirut just bring us up to date with what we know whats happening on the ground at the moment. Well aerial Images Released by Program Media show empty empty of residents as well as fighters like you mentioned it was a town that was home to 100000 people most of the people have fled in recent days because of the fighting because of the intense airstrikes is now under the control of the Syrian Government a major blow to the rebels who explained how this town is strategic its location on this highway the Syrian Governments military objective has been for months if not years to reopen the highway in order to connect the cities under its control and to revive a trade now rebels also have to withdraw from towns south of. In the northern how much countryside because if they stay there they risk being besieged and like you also mentioned the turkish observation post was located or is located in that corner of syria we still do not have confirmation on whether or not they will be able to evacuate or what is the fate of this Turkish Military outpost but what is clear is that the rebels have lost ground significant ground just in the past few hours in the past 2 weeks in fact the regime and its allies they have made a lot of advances on the ground more than they have done in their 3 Months Campaign which raises a lot of questions what has happened has the rebel morale been weakened has the government employed new tactics like concentrate the firepower and the air strikes close to the front lines targeting rebel supply routes but what is clear is this is a victory for the Syrian Government as in this is all being complicated of course by an attack on a turkish convoy just recently how is that factoring into all of this. Well turkey has that Ground Forces in they set up observation post thats part of an agreement with russia reached last year the sochi deal where a Demilitarized Zone was supposed to be created and it led to protect it from an all out assault now the russians of course blame the turks saying that you didnt fulfill your part of the agreement that this is why the military Campaign Began in late april but like you mentioned that convoy came under fire an airstrike was launched and the Turkish Defense ministry did not blame the syrians or the russians didnt say for example that this was a plane a syrian plane a russian plane but in that statement rare criticism of russia saying that this violated their agreements with russia violated cooperation with russia and i say rare because in the past 3 months every time the turkish government used to criticize this military campaign they would avoid rupturing a relationship with russia because these 2 countries cooperate beyond it live but what has been happening in it live is a proxy war between these 2 countries. It has been about going to ground but clearly the russians are unhappy with the turks because the turks are now cooperated with the americans in the northeast of the country so complicated politics tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of syrians caught in this crossfire we keep talking about. Northern half of it these were homes tens of thousands of people were living there these people have no chance of returning no so for now thanks very much indeed for joining us on set is more along the line and he is the head of policy analysis of the arab center for research and policy studies and put this into some context for us in terms of strategy how does this change things on the ground this withdrawal of course i mean i think this is a very Important Development in the course of this conflict. This is the 1st step in the 1st stage maybe. In an effort by the government to gain control of the territories along with him. 5 lords between. And. I think their next target will be moderate to norman in my opinion and i believe as soon as she was reporting that and the police decided to withdraw in order to avoid being besieged by forces on one hand and i think they want all sort to prevent any lesion of the town because you know because the russians have been using this strategy of total demolition of towns and villages in the course of the syrian conflict and another factor may be in my opinion is the mysterious turkish position because i believe personally i believe the russians are trying to implement the agreement because you know that russia and turkey reach an agreement last september on that establishing a Demilitarized Zone. And this is in fact. Some. Of this agreement by force by the russians because it shows their claim that the turks actually have not been able to respect that agreement and to implement that by actually establishing a Demilitarized Zone 15 to 20 kilometers depth. On on one hand and also evacuated this zone. Which is a cargo affiliated group and the russians are now in fact implementing that agreement by force. Is part of that of that effort the rebels are describing this as a redeployment and this is that there is going to be a counter offensive but in your opinion how effective is that counter offensive going to be if it happens that offensive in my opinion will depend on 2 factors number one is the russian air cover for the regime that will in my opinion we can any counteroffensive by either of those and how much support the turks are going to give the opposition on the other. Because we have seen the turks actually a few weeks ago providing the opposition factions with their very. Effective weapons and armor. What bens actually saw that caused he was damaged with. Forces we dont know of the turks are going to do the same now so that will depend very much on the relationship between turkey and russia. And how they are going to see it in this conflict from that one moment thanks very much indeed said well the British Government has raised concerns about the disappearance of a staff member from its hong kong consulate whos been missing since crossing into Mainland China the u. K. Foreign office says simon chang attended a business event in chains and on august the 8 and he was supposed to return to hong kong on the same day the u. K. Foreign office has released a statement saying we are extremely concerned by reports that a member of our team has been detained returning to hong kong from sends and were providing support to his family and seeking further information from authorities in Guangdong Province and hong kong but china insists it has no information on its whereabouts Hong Kong Police say an inquiry is underway to see for point. Of august leading to a missing person case but for the sake of personal data i couldnt just coast to much details here and the case is currently under the inquiry by the regional missing person unit of how. We can and so far the Hong Kong Police force does not receive and in notification from. The reciprocal notification comes out ok for more on this and i hear words joining us now live from london do we know any more about why this simon shang was there and what he was doing when he was in. Well but when we understand that simon chang traveled to shands then on the 8th of august now that probably wouldnt be unusual for him because he was a trade is a trade an Investment Officer in the british consulate in the Scottish Development section of the british consulate so this is perhaps a journey he has made before but what is different here is that he simply didnt come back and what we understand is that he told his girlfriend that it would be coming back on the same day on the express train but he simply didnt return now the Hong Kong Police have said that they are now opening a missing persons inquiry into where he simply got out what are the chinese saying about this and also the u. K. Government of course well the chinese authorities in beijing say they simply have no information about this case the british though are saying we are extremely concerned by reports that a member of our team has been detained were turning to hong kong from chens that were providing support to his family but of course this is happening at a time of increased tensions in hong kong because of the ongoing protests there and we know we understand that at the border between hong kong and Mainland China there are increasing checks of people making that journey that having left phones checked for any photos at the protests so increasing checks at the borders and very concerning times for the family of simon chang at the moment and the thanks very much hong kongs leader carrier says she hopes the reasons nonviolent protests show the territory is on its way to peace sundays march jew 2000000 people it was the calmest in weeks of demonstrations which im often become violent began over proposed changes to hong kongs extradition laws but theyve grown into a Wider Movement against beijings growing influence. But i can give you this a very come meet men at the political level that the bill is steps there is no plan there are no plans to revive the spill especially in light off the public concerns but as Hoda Abdelhamid reports from hong kong the protesters are not likely to be satisfied with loans commons. Gary lams words stopped short of the protesters expectations she was asked upfront by a reporter why dont you use the word withdrawn when you talk about the extradition and she. Sure everybody the extradition. Protesters have been talking about this. To use the word with drones they cant have any legal weight so that is certainly something thats been angered them shes been very stubborn about this fact another point that she did not address is an. Independent Investigation Committee to look into the Police Violence and. Unfolded on the streets here well she said that she will cause a civilian body that already exists and his government appointed the independent Police Complaints council to look into what happened and come up with recommendations for the government that will not make cutted with the protesters and also she didnt address a tool the 5 demands have been asking for so certainly they probably will have an increase and there may be loud voices calling for her to resign immediately reaction on social media everybody was saying. That she did not voided again addressing any of the grievances of the protesters in a more direct way while the protests and hong kong over the weekend were peaceful the chinese Central Government has continued its. Dismissing the Government Movement has more from beijing. President xi jinping last hong kong visit was 2 years ago to mark 20 years since the handover of what was a british colony to china he minced no words then about who was in control. Any attempt to endanger chinas sovereignty and security challenge the power of Central Government and the basic law of hong kong or to use hong kong to conduct. And against the mainland is an act across the red line but the past 11 weeks of mass protests in hong kong seem to cross that red line the government even calling some of it here terrorism however theres been not a single word from sheik himself unlike his u. S. Counterpart President Donald Trump who personally involved himself on topics big and small including these protests in hong kong present she rarely engages on specific issues focusing more on the big picture but some say dont confuse the lack of face time as lack of direct involvement on hong kong for anything that china will do involving hong kong will be a decision directly up to president xi jinping and the top leadership very closely at his disposal he has lots of things to take care of and hong kong probably is just one of them. One tactic the top chinese leadership has decided on misinformation. Twitter and facebook have taken steps to block hundreds of accounts with ties to the Chinese Government twitter said the accounts were an orchestrated attempt to undermine the legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement and through lower level officials the government has accused western nations of meddling. A strong visual warning from beijing coming several times over the last 2 weeks propaganda video of armed police amassing in training in jenin just across the border from hong kong and not so subtle reminder of mainland might the stakes are high for the Central Government. If they cant handle the hong kong situation properly it means a failure for its one country 2 systems it will think their rule greatly china wants to unify taiwan with the same one country 2 systems 1000 hong kong it wont work with taiwan is a threat for the future. All this just 6 weeks before the big celebration marking 70 years since the founding of the peoples republic of china will be a big military parade here in beijing and a showcase speech by she looking into the future but a simmering situation hong kong could cast a shadow over that future its got hotter aljazeera beijing.

Of us today were going to school after a long time its been 10 to 15 days since we went to school and met our friends im feeling good. Back and many felt much less optimistic. What environment will be sending our kids its already a bad situation living under restrictions and curfews is nothing new for people here they know how easily violence can break out and the consequences many people including children have been injured or killed over the years after joining protests were just being nearby when they happened the consequences of the revenues that. The future that young people and children see for themselves i think that is a very grim future. This activist recently returned from a Fact Finding Mission indeed administered kashmir children are easily caught in the middle children as young as 11 years old who had been spend several days in Police Custody in legal custody illegal Police Custody in the Police Station being beaten up and being intimidated and. That is partly why many here are worried about the safety of their children with more school due to reopen in the valley. Say police will guarantee the safety of schoolchildren as they go back but many parents say thats too much of a risk right now given the continued protests along with security and communication restrictions still in place. Pakistan says india is using water as a weapon by releasing dams which could flood villages over the border indian authorities released 2 reservoirs including the major bug saying its because water levels have got too high Pakistans NationalDisaster Agency says it was warned and its issued flood alerts for villages downstream including the river under a water sharing treaty signed in 1960 any dam release must come with a warning but india says the amount released is low enough that no warning is needed. The spokesman for package. National Disaster Management authority hes joining us live from islamabad thank you very much for joining us on all dizzier given the fact that india says that the water levels are do not pose a risk what kind of preparations can pakistan make and what do you think the risks are. Here thank you for inviting doing the current. Season and heavy spend in india along the. Dam and the indian bunch of. We have kim from north who are experts of musicians there are known to lead and 40000 q 6 of what has been believed in river such roads which is not a river in pakistan because there are most of the dams and structures on this on this river and. Less water there is at least from the indian side towards pakistan but this huge quantity of water which is coming with pakistan is monitoring if entered into pakistan district us food and water it really could be a problem for the People Living in districts and districts or carla and down below because that is very less quantity of water generally the least by india and this now we expect that more than one leg in the water is going to come in this river and it will definitely affect the people those who are designing in the low lying areas along this because there was no. Alert issued by india of poverty being the appropriate bed again country and we are the lord of pity and country but now we are monitoring that had both leaders of water and quantity of it is coming closer to pakistan and maybe tonight 2021. And then the floor would be monitored were going to just want to clarify one thing youre referring to q sex of water were talking about. Its equal to one cubic foot per 2nd of water is that correct i just want to get a sense of how much water were actually talking about are you able to give us an idea of how high the water levels might rise around the villages in the farmland that youre talking about here and the water region entering into the pakistan is 100000 q 6 more than 100000 is the likely to enter into pakistan the moment of water between has been released from the head works from the indian site and the capacity up to normal. Really. Much for people 50000. Presently and the water flowing as a as if no is around 40000. 00 cusick water is flowing into the pakistan and which is increasing. And we expect that the maximum water peak would be around midnight tonight let me ask you something given your experience of matters like this in the past isnt it reasonable that india felt that there was the water levels were increasing to a dangerous level that this was the only option that they had to release this water and take the pressure off the dams which could have resulted in significant damage. Here. And we have a margaret we have mike he has a vulnerability discuss has been tools and amount of water which is coming into the pot this done. And it is likely to affect 60. 00 to 70. 00 village only invited district which is just on the entrance. To the pakistan that is the School District same amount of villages are going to be affected and other distance. Along the river such figure thank you very much indeed for your time we appreciate it thank you. Russia has accused the u. S. Of escalating military tension after a test of the ground launched missile with a range of more than 500 kilometers of the test would have been banned under the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty washington formally withdrew from the landmark 1987 pact with russia earlier this month the Us Administration says moscow had already been violating it will step vasa is joining us now with the latest from moscow step give us an update 1st of all of what moscow has been saying about its test well the Deputy Foreign minister said that the really regret that this test has taken place and also that it shows that the United States has been preparing for this end of the i. N. F. Treaty for a long time so as we know of course this treaty and it collapsed earlier this month but also says that he doesnt want to be drawn into an arms race with the United States and they wont put any more missiles anywhere as long as the United States is not doing the same thing this is all very interesting to hear because it all comes in the light of this very suspicious and mysterious accident that happened during a test of a particular weapon that has not been disclosed which happened just 8 but of course as you were talking about this follows on from the u. S. Testing its own missile is there a suggestion in moscow that theyre monitoring closely what the u. S. Is doing and that theyre going to take for testing regime going on. Well i think that is definitely the feeling here of course we all suspected that after the collapse of the i. M. F. Treaty that a new new arms race would start but in the meantime of course a lot of things are happening already which of course are part of this arms race russia is now being suspected of having tacitus supersonic missile which is Nuclear Powered and which accidentally went wrong in our candles in the north of russia early august what we also know from that ties is that radiation levels spiked in that region quite dramatically up to 16 times the level of the normal levels we also know now because of reports in the moscow times that in the body of one of the doctors who were treating the injured who are working at that test that his radiation levels inside his muscle have gone up and now ripped off a Deputy Foreign minister sat that in response to the fact that 4 of the monitoring stations that were in sorry to. Monitor the radiation level in that area are worth of food outlets during or shortly after the accident that he says that that is not of anyones business and that is a voluntarily thing that russia has committed itself to that these radiation levels are being read anyway so all these comments are now raising a lot of suspicion increased worries about what exactly has happened in the north of russia shortly during this and shortly after this accident thanks to.

Italys Prime Minister is due to address the senate a couple of hours with speculation growing that hes about to resign the governing coalition collapsed a few days ago after the far right legal r. T. Pulled out a new gig of reports from rome. It was never a partnership of equal measures held together by an independent Prime Minister italys 2 populist parties the far right the the anti establishment 5 Star Movement comfortably wedded to each other in a coalition of convenience. Between the 2 the dominating force had always been the league with its strident anti immigrant policies and heavy reliance on its leader. Combative personality and to prove popular eclipsing the 5 stars presence in the coalition. Taking advantage of his surge in popularity only 2 weeks ago salvini took a gamble and announced that his partys alliance with 5 star was over the leak put forward a motion of no confidence in the government and salvini called friendly actions that could make him Prime Minister call it hubris or a nail time intervention the move hadnt quite worked out as salvini had hoped instead the 5 Star Movement and the Opposition Democratic Party began to talk openly of forming a coalition among themselves leaving salvini out in the cold his supporters call him the captain but his latest venture has left him adrift faced with the prospect of losing power back down and said he would be prepared to stick with 5 star with perhaps a cabinet shuffle but his one time allies the damage had already been done. But it wont be an easy right for a 5 star either their decision to go into coalition with the far right party has cost them their supporters a humiliating defeat at this years european elections and the leak has overtaken the 5 Star Movement to become the most Popular Party in italy the country is going to write in just moments to population once economic reform in liberal terms wants market reforms and the fast that movement have always been embracing leftist economic policies so i dont think it will come back in the political approval from the masses of italians who are somehow demanding new elections it is a bitter breakup for 2 parties which will always ill suited for each other a fight for italys identity between the far right and more centrist forces and with a weakening economy close to a recession the country cannot afford any worsening of its political turmoil in the months ahead.
