May god punish him i hope iraq suffer while hes alive as hes done as harmony and justice and i hope hes punished on judgment day.

Russias president has put his support behind the embattled leader of belarus and the 1st face to face meeting since protests in the former soviet state escalated pratima putin says issues should be resolved by the by the russian people themselves without foreign interference so fast and has more from minsk. It was clear from the start of the meeting who is calling the shots i look at shanghai as proven to be a tough negotiator for puttin in the past this time he was taking note of what the russian leader had to say and making his case for moscow support. The main thing and i say it all the time is not to cross the line theres a red line and you are familiar with it you have to draw these lines in chechnya when youre a young president god forbid this happens in bela reuss there are certain red lines nobody has the right to cross. Over. The question get tried hard to convince put in that everything was under control but these images of a around a 100000 protesters on the streets of minsk on sunday tell a different story. And we just put in does not want to see in russia. Where we say what cant have domestic political events happening in relation to the election in belarus you know our position well we want better relations to sort out the situation themselves without any tips or pressure from outside through dialogue they should come to a common decision. That kremlin says on look at us request its withdrawing the Russian Troops deployed at the belorussian border put in had earlier sat at those troops were ready to intervene in balance if the situation got out of control the russian leader reiterated that agreements between the 2 nations about military cooperation will remain in place its unclear what concessions lookers shanker made to secure put in support the belorussian opposition says it regrets britains decision to hold talks with look at sanka who they call it legitimacy leader they also question the legality of any agreement between the 2 since the election result is widely disputed many here are wondering if the embattled leader is ready to set. Profile is this of a relative of his nation just to remain in power he was put in supports look at shankar from now on the question is for how long you can enjoy the kremlins backing if anything be the recent useful protests across the country not only in the capital meant groome in science they will be hoping that over time they compose weight the individuals and groups within the elite that have so far remained loyal to. Their higher loyalty lies with the people you risk turning a population that is well disposed towards russia into one that sees russia as. A leader and their reaching that they know want no longer want to live under despite declaring his support for a look at shank up within is still keeping his options open by endorsing constitutional reforms and borrows the russian leader seems to accept that theres an expiry date even for a leader who has been in power for 26 years stepped past an l. G. Sierra. Alexei navalny has been taken off a ventilator and is now well enough to leave his bed briefly the russian Opposition Leader is being treated at a hospital in berlin after whats thought to have been assassination attempt a German Government is calling on russia to cooperate and investigate after all of our trees there and in other countries found he was poisoned with a soviet nerve agent russia has hit back again with the foreign minister canceling a planned visit to berlin and accusing western nations of using the poisoning as a pretext for sanction us your submissions to me and russian bullet the organ that got through i agree with their political analysts if there was no novelli they would come up with Something Else as a pretext to new sanctions in the valleys case western colleagues have crossed all reasonable borders and gone beyond d. C. Today we are required to plead guilty they say are you distrusting the german specialists. Coming up and i was there in this news hour Asylum Seekers on the greek island of lesbos protest over plans to move them to a new camp and call on the e. U. To take action. And the sewage in the bathroom here the stench is absolutely unbearable we look at the impact of flooding on the people of senegal. And sport wife only one champion Lewis Hamilton could be in trouble with motorsport bosses for wearing this t. Shirt. British politicians are voting on a new law tabled by the government which it admits will break International Law Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the internal market bill will allow businesses to trade without barriers but it provoking strong criticism from the e. U. It will give ministers the power to modify rules already agreed in the Withdrawal Agreement on the movement of goods from Northern Ireland to Great Britain and on state aid thats if the 2 sides dont agree a future trade deal critics say it could undermine the good friday agreement the peace treaty that ended decades of Armed Conflict in Northern Ireland the e. U. Has given the u. K. Until the end of this month to change course or face legal action all the while britain faces a deadline of the end of the year to avoid leaving with no deal at all. They are threatening to carve paris boards paris borders across our own country and to divide our own land and to change the basic facts about economic jogger fee of the United Kingdom and egregiously to ride roughshod over their own commitment under article 4 of the protocol whereby and i quote Northern Ireland is part of the customs territory of the United Kingdom this is because we cannot have a situation where the very bottom degrees of our country could be dictated by a foreign power or International Organization for this we can speak her now to Chris Wilkens hes a former director of strategy and chief speechwriter to x. Prime minister to resign may thanks very much indeed for being with us so if theres been a lot of criticism or less said 5 former Prime Ministers are against it a lot of internal opposition within the promise the same party that the conservatives giving the Prime Minister underestimated the reaction to this or was it all a calculated move. I think there was some calculation behind it and i think you know weve seen that this is a Prime Minister and ministration that really quite value the fight sometimes we saw that at the end of last year when they were trying to get this early withdrawal bill through parliament and there was a moment when they sacked some of their own members of parliament and is that this move theyve always valued the fight and calculate that theyre on the side of the public and on the side the politicians thats part of the reason that are in a sense but in this instance i wonder if these underestimated the extent of the opposition to what theyre trying to do and really there are 2 things at stake for the conservative party here the conservative party firstly is that consistent in Unionist Party really tend but the importance of the union of the United Kingdom above most of the things in this bill in many ways so that starts to threaten some of that and secondly this point by International Law because it parties is made up of the lot of the backbenchers. Are lawyers and legally trained and youre asking them suddenly vote for something that ministers admitted breaks International Law and i just wonder if in this instance theyve underestimated the extent of the opposition to what theyre trying to do and the expectation appears to be still that theyll still manage to get it through is that your your impression too well certainly this vote the c evening i think will go through and theres expected to be a lot of extensions so a lot of consider members of parliament simply not to not to vote tool theres a big vote there next week at the next stage of the bill and thats when i guess it will be really be tested ultimately the government has a majority of 80 after the election last year so its really pretty difficult to see them not getting this bill through but ultimately success is getting the bill through but also seeing what is this extent of the rebellion if theres a really large of a 1000000000 back benches tonight and also next week theyre not protect the stores at trouble for the future of ultimately a majority of 80 if you think they calculate that they can get it through i mean the promise in itself or said this is about leverage with the e. U. Where do you think this leaves the kind of the negotiation at this point with the. Yes its hard to sort of really understand the rationale behind what theyre doing and sensually talks the impasse they need comes when agreement very quickly in order to get it through before the end of the year at the wise the u. K. Leaves with no deal whatsoever so most people calculate that this is an attempt to strong on the e. U. Into bending some of their rules and then go shooting positions because they dont want to sort of see this happen but actually people looking at this week of say it will all its really achieved is its brought the main message the even closer together because they are to me not to be bullied probably the case so i think whichever way you look at it the talks are not in a healthy position but they are going on they havent stopped at this point leave us threatened to take the court if this bill goes through but theyre still sitting down and she isnt able to talk about these things so its not a loss but its not a healthy state by any sense Chris Wilkins thank you very much indeed for talking to us thank you yes intrastate my pump air says he wants to see an end to the blockade of cattle by other gulf states he is cochairing the 3rd us at our Strategic Dialogue with cattery deputy Prime Minister and minister of Foreign Affairs had been a bit of a funny at the summit in washington comes as taliban and afghan ago shared his meat for peace talks in doha with a pair thanking catarrh for its efforts in facilitating the talks she have attendees at the state department in washington d. C. And says the blockades been on the american diplomatic radar for some time. Theyre putting session of the Strategic Dialogue was an opportunity for mike compare the u. S. Secretary of state to repeat something he said many times over several months of the u. G. C. Think is wrong in labeling carter a destabilizing force in the region for carter it was an opportunity to find the u. S. For its mediation efforts. To keep our focus on this work and to close the door to increased iranian meddling its past time to find a solution to the gulf rift trust mr its easier to see this resolved and to reopen cutters air and land borders currently blocked by other gulf states i would like to thank the u. S. For supporting the kuwaiti mediation to the store located on that this is of the respect of for the subcommittee and independence of this. Policy continues to the present peace stability and prosperity elements thats lets. Us for months now weve heard that u. S. Efforts to broker some sort of deal to end the blockade has been imminent and july it was reported that something was going to be signed in at the last minute the u. N. He backed out and saudi arabia to back out as well once again in the last week weve had a flurry of activity donald trump calling the saudi king followed by a state Department Official saying maybe theyll be a deal within 3 weeks he said he soon sort of backed away from that and said well he would thing more flexibility in the gauche ations and from what we understand the state department certainly is focusing on one main issue thats overflight rights and this is the g. C. C. Blockade Qatar Airways have to overfly iran in order to get in and out of qatar this is a problem for the u. S. Because that means millions of dollars now flowing into iran in coffins for the overflight rights this has been the focus off the debate here clearly that the focus of the state department has long been to isolate iran this blockade its getting countries closer together with iran so if there is any movement we believe in were told it will be in this issue this is the focus and another opportunity for president from to try and show himself as a dealmaker and International Peace maker in an electoral year. Human rights watch says all warring parties in yemen are severely obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid when i was ation accuses. The rebels Government Forces and the u. A. E.

Already the Health System is struggling with a corona Virus Outbreak and so senegal has launched an emergency plan same City Different neighborhood the wealthy areas look at it theres no sign of rain waters the drainage pipes have cleared any rains here and so while the government blames Climate Change for the destructions critics of the government say its a lack of funding and investment in Infrastructure Projects that has led to all the destruction in 2012 the government earmarked over 1000000000. 00 to tackle these recurrent floods indycar but people now are wondering what has happened to the money floodings are not just happening here in senegal its affecting countries across west africa with intensifying rains in new sharon in brick enough aso people are being evacuated from their homes and with months to go before the end of the rainy season many here fear the worst is yet to come. U. S.

It was an Interesting Exchange there were several of them some interaction with reporters as he arrived in sacramento but he sat down with governor gavin newsom and some other state officials and some notes from the briefing he asked various officials to weigh in with what they are seeing on the ground but early on in the briefing governor knew some made the case to President Trump that a lot of what california is experiencing is because of Climate Change and then later on an official was speaking passionately about how if science on Climate Change says its the key that if the only focus is on Vegetation Management which is what trump has been keying in on then they will not succeed in protecting california and there was a little bit of an exchange there at the table where trump interjected he said ok it will start getting cooler you just watch there were a few chuckles in the official said i wish science agreed with you and trump replied well i dont think science knows actually thats a quote before he moved on to the next official so a little bit testy there in a few of those exchanges but definitely something that has been brewing for a while between trump and california officials and if we can thank you very much indeed. Still to come on out there in this news hour here a hotel rwanda appears in court charged with terrorism but is his opposition to the president the real crime.

Just based refugees on the greek island of lesbos who staged another protest as authorities try to move them to a new site families are being left wondering aimlessly since the blaze destroyed the morea camp last week forcing its 12000 occupants to sleep on roadsides and in abandoned buildings many are resisting relocation to the new site and so they want access to the mainland their Stephanie Decker has been speaking to refugees on the island and says aid efforts appear to be disorganized. Its been almost a week now since moria camp completely burned to the ground and thousands of people remain asleep sheltering on the side of the road here in the middle of the island also taking shelter in all of groves its quite extraordinary actually to see the lack of a cohesive aid effort of any of the organizations here trying to help people put a roof over their heads handing out food or water now the greek authorities have said that everyone here is going to be moved to a permanent camp that has been. Built some tents are up a little further down here but only a few 100 have been moved so far you can see that they are continuing to expand that just down there close to the sea also very much open to the elements you can see some of the refugees also walking along many people have tried to take shelter among the trees its a very difficult situation certainly the islanders have had enough they want these people to go they say its affected their livelihoods the economy tourism here and the refugees want to go but the message here certainly from the authorities is that none of these people are going to be going getting off this island at all. Filippo grandi is the United Nations high commissioner for refugees he says the situation in greece has been unsustainable for you is largely because of the actions of all the e. U. Nations. Weve been saying for a long time for years that the situation in the greek islands and not just on less forced by the way but other islands as well needs to be relieved that it is unsustainable and in recent months the population on less force went from about 20212000 people saw efforts have been mean theyve been slow in part because of truly greece has not enjoyed enormous cooperation from other european nations this famous Relocation Program that was supposed to relieve the burden on greece and other frontline countries in europe by distributing. Asylum seekers across the continent has not been very successful in recent events proved that it is important to go back to those fundamental solutions now the other thing is that after the fire i think about 400 and accompanied miners where relocated to the mainland saw it is not entirely correct to say that nobody is being relocated in actually we are hoping that as a priority and accompanied miners also on other islands can be relocated there the more stick spalls and the most the risk for the rest i have to say that the government has been very fast in building this new temporary or medium Term Accommodation and it is important that it is used so that people that are homeless can find at least temporarily some some shelter and i do hope sincerely that the door stanchions between the Host Communities the refugees the authorities can be appeased because it is only if the situation comes down Debt Solutions can be pursued and just a National Story we were reporting earlier the u. K. Government in the last few minutes has won the vote on the internal market bill the bill will move to the next stage of the legislation process and that is the bill which there u. K. Prime minister insists was necessary and that admitted would break International Law more on that story and it later on inability. Sunday saw the biggest one day increase in corona virus cases recorded so far in the pandemic the World Health Organization says global infections increased by more than 300000 on sunday the biggest rises were in india the United States and brazil which were already the worst affected countries there are now nearly 13000000 recorded cases worldwide with more than 900000 deaths concerns the number of coronavirus deaths in russia could have been underestimated by as much as 2 thirds new figures show there were 57800 more deaths between may and july the normally recorded in the same months that coincided with the peak of the outbreak during that same period 15955 coronavirus deaths were recorded critics say it shows that the russian government has been under playing the impact of the pandemic by many countries the beginning of the University Term is being looked at with worry by Health Authorities the u. K. Is in the middle of a spike in coronavirus cases cause many people in their teens and twentys and its largely reports from manchester theres growing concern returning University Students when stick to the rules. The sasa term and its a big one for these 30 years will be taking their final exams but as well as contending with not being allowed into the lecture theatre as theyre also receiving lectures from the governments about how they should behave as your Health Secretary the u. K. Governments Health Secretary has made a series of videos posted on talk aimed squarely at young people so what does this group make of it all i think that they get caught message cross where the quicker you guys stick to the rules the quicky can potentially go out again which would resonate with me definitely pornographers concerns living this year is actually looking for a job and i think if they maybe move towards the message slightly more maybe it would resonate more of us instead with the virus spreading most rapidly among the young how to control them has become a crucial issue one route is to shut everything down the Students Union which should be hosting parties for new arrivals is close most studying will be online and anyone going into a building has to queue and be checked but spend a few hours in a city like this in the most striking thing is that the only people around the young older people seem to be hiding from them over the course of the last few weeks the narrative has developed in this country that says that the young are basically selfish plagued areas who might end up forcing a 2nd lockdown on the u. K. But it is also the case of the self the university is supposed to be a time of absolute joy for young people to be free to do the things that young people want to do and all of that is being taken away from them balancing those 2 completely conflicting demands is going to be basically impossible the council has been working with the police and the university and theyll be bombarding students with messages that say any fund left will disappear completely if people dont get it right the message is if we cant control it now why if we cant stop the sprites that actually we were striving for theyre not dying is imposed upon us im not sikkim assumes that you know if you. Want to socialise socialising with the limitations are in place at the minute means that those opportunities will be available in the future and the restaurants favored by students there trying to enforce their own codes of behavior as well the government can only do so much the police can only do so much to call it muscle can only do so much to pressure on is cannot can only do so much with the law if you want to bring it thinks down the ultimately is responsible for yourself across manchester alone there are 100000. 00 students within a few days they will be here at the start of term a huge blow to their expectations and a test of their willpower Lawrence Leigh aljazeera in manchester and activists portrayed in the film hotel rwanda has appeared in court charged with terrorism and murder amongst other crimes Paul Rusesabagina declined to enter any please but his lawyers denied the charges against him the activist was arrested dr trip from his residence in the us to dubai his family have accused rhonda north of kidnapping him or sister but he now is credited with saving more than a 1000 lives during rhondas 194 genocide back in webb has been watching events from nairobi and says its not the 1st time the president s critics found themselves targeted. Full recesses begin. In a court room in rwandas capital kigali amid tight security prosecutors say that hes responsible for terrorism and involvement in an armed group that carried out attacks inside rwanda hes facing about 12 charges relating to the alleged offenses he declined to plead to the charges he said he wants to face them separately but his family say hes been denied legal representation of his choice and that hes just been given lawyers by the Rwandan Government not been allowed to his own legal representation during the 1994 genocide he was credited with saving the lives of more than a 1000 people protecting them inside an International Hotel of which he was a manager at the time the story was made famous by a hollywood movie in 2004 hotel rwanda but since then hes lived in exile and hes been critical of the government of president paul kagame me saying it represents the interests of only a small ethnic tutsi elite criticism isnt tolerated anymore and there are many government critics and people who question the narrative of the genocide of ended up in prison or ended up dead the Court Hearings today didnt shed any further light on how it was 2 weeks ago as a beginner had ended up in kigali his family said he left his home in the u. S.

Scientists believe safe. And signs of life on venus no aliens but telescopes in hawaii and chile identified whats been called the bio signature of life being is our nearest neighbor a mere 143000000 kilometers away its slightly smaller of an earth and has the longest day of any planet scientists believe it made one time of had the conditions to support life but the surface which sees temperatures up to 471 degrees celsius is considered completely inhospitable but its 30 degree cases clouds have been touted as a potential haven for life and thats where this team of researchers have picked up a gas called phosphate in toxic to humans its produced by bacteria in oxygen starved environments and is present on earth in swamps rice fields and sewage plants where his feet now to join a bastard shes a lecturer in astronomy at the open university she joins us live via skype thanks very much for being with us so its pretty exciting what do you make of this finding and im personally very excited by it since i actually started out my Planetary Science career looking at the clouds on venus which is a fascinating place anyway but even more interesting with this New Discovery which. Doesnt seem to make a lot of sense at the moment without some explanation that were still looking for so what do you think i mean you mentioned it doesnt make much sense but what is the most likely explanation for that gas being there. I think it probably isnt aliens im sorry to say i think the most likely explanation is that this is something that we havent yet fully understood about the way that chemistry works on venus possibly something to do with the interaction of the atmosphere and the surface or something about the chemistry within the cloud there itself and it sounds like a pretty unpleasant place so presumably whatever it life or it is would have to be pretty robust. It would although there are plenty of examples of bacterial lifeforms on earth that survive in what we might think of as incredibly inhospitable environments including in a stream extremely acidic conditions which is what we have in the nation cloud layer so is this a discovery that will bring on the possibility that they might to reappraise on the other planets. Well were reappraising what we know about the other planets pretty much all the time as we find out more and more things i think what i hope from this discovery is it will kickstart more interest into the study of genus and perhaps well see another mission to venus that will see is actually sending spacecraft into the atmosphere itself to directly solve it which is something that hasnt been done since 1990 and that would hopefully answer this mystery what about the readings i mean are we confident or you confident that the conclusions theyve reached are based on correct readings. I think absolutely although as the authors themselves say it would be good to get another measurements using a different type of telescope looking in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum because at the moment weve only seen it at millimeter wave length so perhaps picking it up in the infrared as well would be youre just really solidify that conclusion would be reassuring is it the case that it has to this particular.
