Services is saddening as a diplomatic spat and tense of fires over the arrest of u. S. Consulate employee and istanbul. A mass trial of more than sixteen hundred boko haram suspects is underway in nigeria Rights Groups warn theyre being denied due process. Catalonia high court asked for extra protection from Spanish Police as pressure grows on the regional president not to declare and dependence. Doubling down on Climate Change denial and the trumpet ministrations says its an obama era drive to limit emissions from coal fired power plants. To some of those. To become the smallest nation ever to qualify for the fee for world cup all of that story and more later this news. Turkeys president has described the u. S. Decision to suspend most Visa Services for turkish citizens as upsetting the freezes in response to the arrest of u. S. Consulate employees in istanbul accused of links to last years failed coup immediately imposed tit for tat measure suspending its own Visa Services in the us. Reports from washington d. C. After the arrest of a worker at the u. S. Embassy in ankara and a warrant issued for another the us took the unusual step of saying they would stop issuing visas for some turkish nationals traveling to america the first explanation was posted by the u. S. Ambassador to turkey on twitter we dont know if these arrests are singular events or if we should expect other turkish Staff Members to be arrested turkey quickly followed suit with similar measures but president rich a type one said he did it reluctantly and on kind of this is a very sad decision and the ambassador has taken a decision and started implementing it so its a source of sadness. This is just the latest in a growing list of diplomatic back and forth the relationship between these two nato allies started souring during the Syrian Civil War turkey upset the u. S. Didnt do enough against the Assad Government even angrier when the u. S. Backed kurdish fighters and later armed them. Then last years coup attempt and it got worse erdogan blamed to clerics for two of the golan who lives in the u. S. They wanted him extradited for his alleged role the Obama Administration refused and the Trump Administration hasnt moved on it either that was a big issue when he first met President Donald Trump but that was overshadowed by what happened when he left the oval office. Turkish Security Officers violently attacked what appeared to be Peaceful Protesters outside the turkish ambassadors residence fifteen of them were indicted in u. S. Courts and as a result the u. S. Stopped a planned sale of small arms to turkey turkey further angered the u. S. When it agreed to buy a Russian Missile Defense System equipment that wouldnt work within nato has indicated he would be willing to trade americans imprisoned in turkey for good lawn but given that would be hard to do within the legal system something he really wants the case thrown out against her citizen reza zurab who is awaiting trial in the u. S. For allegedly helping turkey of aid sanctions against iran and its less a matter of wanting it back than wanting the case to go away it wanting him not to testify not wanting any of the details about their role in helping iran evade sanctions coming out in the course of a trial it will be yet another chance for the ole ready frosty relationship to cool even more political hay in aljazeera washington and the second is a turkish risk specialist he says the disputes are threatening the long term relationship between ankara and washington. Economically also in terms of the security infrastructure its membership in the nato its reliance on us the Nuclear Umbrella sort of speak all of these factors that entrenched the two countries into this alliance however as we see more and more often these various spots occurring these disagreements these. Sentimental crevices and merging between the two countries that will contribute to a longer term shift of turkey away from the United States. We will see probably the country seek to rekindle its ties with various other alternatives we have definitely seen president or do on voice such intentions but again this is not something to you can do overnight and any speculation about turkey having now become a russian ally as opposed to its alliance with the us these are exaggerated these things take much longer time than than that more than one thousand six hundred people are facing mass trials in nigeria accused of being members of the rebel group boko ron the trials are being held behind closed doors at a military facility Rights Groups say theyre worried about the lack of transparency and its estimated twenty thousand people have been killed and millions displaced during eight years of fighting between Government Troops and that armed group John Campbell is a former u. S. Ambassador to nigeria he says the International Community needs to keep a close eye and serious judicial process. We should be concerned because we will have no independent way of verifying how fair the trials are but there are other reasons to be concerned as well i think first of all the numbers to be tried are very large sixteen hundred at least at first there are only four judges that have been chosen to conduct the trials. That means the trials will either be very quick or the whole process will go on for a long time and then finally most of those who are being tried have been detained without charge for a relatively long period of time and one has to question whether or not evidence has been gathered by the authorities or whether their detention was simply arbitrary the conditions of night in nigeria and places of detention are pretty bad Amnesty International for example has estimated that some thousands of detainees have died mostly from disease lack of water lack of food so yes the fact that the the trials are going ahead means that there is a judicial process in place it remains to be seen whether it will be fair some bob ice president Robert Mugabe has re shuffled his cabinet a bit to bolster Party Support for his wife grace who got to reassign ten members of his cabinet and fire the finance minister who is a high profile contender for the Party Leadership the ruling saying this divided over who should succeed him he intends to stand in the election next year at the age of ninety four. Iran is promising to give a crushing response if the u. S. Designates its a late revolutionary guard as a terrorist Group President trying to spend promoting a more hawkish strategy on iran accusing it of supporting terrorism in exporting violence across the middle east and he said withdraw u. S. Government support for the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal this week iran says it is taking threats of any new sanctions and very seriously. Opposition is very clear we hope that the american authorities will not continue their mistakes or commit such a strategic mistake and impose new sanctions that will declare the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization if they do that irans response will be decisive and overwhelming the u. S. Will not be able to face the consequences we hope that those who are wise in america will take the right steps and stand against such a decision saying thats probably has more from tehran. In the last few days the headlines here have been dominated by defiant rhetoric from iranian leaders who say that any actions by the United States to impose new sanctions or to abandon the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal will be met with a strong response at a News Conference Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman cos of me has said that it would be a strategic mistake for the white house to place the countrys revolutionary guard corps on a list of terror organizations and that he hoped for a more rational response from the u. S. President the language in recent days from the revolutionary guard itself has been much stronger the chief commander has said that if the United States was to take such an action then its bases in the region would be considered strategic targets and that its troops in the region would be given the same status in the eyes of the Iranian Forces as isis fighters and even as countries who helped negotiate the nuclear dealers the United States not to take any actions to abandon it iran wants people to know that it will meet any new challenges from a position of strength its posturing on both sides that is putting the Obama Administrations hard won nuclear deal in jeopardy. Travis wished to withdraw from the nuclear deal has to be endorsed by the u. S. Senate but the latest target of his ire on twitter happens to be influential republican head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee corker says trump is treating the Oval Office Like a reality show and explosive newspaper interview he also said he was alarmed and concerned by the president s actions from washington aljazeera as alan fischer reports. Corker has a reputation as a reliable republican which makes his attack on the president even more remarkable in an interview with the New York Times he accused donald trump of treating the office of president like a reality show but he warns his reckless threats on twitter could set the u. S. On the path to World War Three such is the risk says the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee but he says i know for a fact that every single day at the white house its a situation of trying to contain him its not the first time bob corker has spoken out against the president after announcing last week he wasnt going to run for the senate again he felt bold enough to see this i think. Secretary tillerson secretary mabus and. Chief of staff kelly. Are. Those people that help separate our country from chaos that candor seems to upset President Trump he took to twitter to claim that corker begged him to back him in a senate race but he refused that he asked to be secretary of state and was rejected and then you know expected corker to be a negative voice corker decided not to let that past remember this is an open exchange from two Senior Republicans he responded its a shame the white house has become an Adult Daycare Center someone obviously missed their shift this morning he then followed up with the interview with the New York Times i am hoping and that more senators will really i go to her program has said and really perhaps put some pressure on the white house to tighten their act and really let some control and this president corker is said to be close to secretary of state Rex Tillerson who held a News Conference last week to reaffirm his support for the president after it was claimed he called mr trump a moron let me tell you what ive learned about this president whom i did not know before taking this office he loves this country he puts americans and America First a smart center corker still has more than a year of his final senate term to run and could cause issues for the president and his agenda if his feud with the white house continues and if other senators actually break ranks and express the concerns senator corker insists they also have alan fischer ill just you know washington. Plenty more ahead in the news hour including seeking a unified government conciliation talks set to begin in cairo between rival palestinian factions fatah had palm os remembering a revolutionary in latin america marks the Fiftieth Anniversary of the death of chicken.

And defensive way and we had to remember that of course you need to always have full of old forces we have more forces than they to Response Force but the whole of the you know with nato is to be so strong is to be so. United and so clear and coherent messaging that no other city tries to know a potential tries to technical. The pressure is increasing on the cattle on government to break down from its planned declaration of independence on tuesday frances European Affairs minister says her country would not recognize the region if it succeeds from spain. Alone is high court has requested extra security from the Spanish National Police Outside the building in case the declaration goes ahead john hall has more from barcelona. No matter which side of the independence debate one is on this is a sight a few in catalonia would welcome the National Police drafted in after a Supreme Court ruling to guard the high court ahead of tuesdays address to parliament by the regions president carlos preached a moment its a bit scary to see. It in the streets because i am used to see them. Used to see so many bodies we actually see yes and now theyre here. We have them on our doorstep and its like feeling under siege. These police guys they have really hit us hard and its i think its very bad here at the moment a spokesman for the squadron catalonians police force said it had no choice but to accept the Supreme Court ruling and. We dont understand it at all we have been guarding the spear court of catalonia for the last twenty four years and theres never been any relation to our service so we dont understand it and we dont like it but it is a judicial distraction so we accepted. That most of this while the extremely unusual you might call it provocative site of spains National Police on guard outside this important building in central barcelona is a reminder of just what sensitive times these are as this region and the whole of spain await a possible unilateral declaration of independence by catalonia on monday madrid again made it clear that an independence declaration would have immediate consequences. Not at those. Who are ready for any circumstances because we are already vaccinated against the fanaticism of most of them all and any hope that he will return to sanity and serenity therefore its necessary to consider all possible options with worked on all of them one option is to use special constitutional powers to revoke catalonia ptolemy if that were to happen thered be far more to worry about than the National Police guard outside the high court during the whole al jazeera barcelona the vast majority of spaniards outside catalonia are bitterly opposed to any independence declaration many say the claim by some catalan nationalists that they were the only ones who suffered during Francisco Francos thirty should share dictatorship nor is history or enslave reports from central spain across the her on a river valley you can see madrid away in the distance. The people here maintain the relics of war in tribute to the vicious history of spain. Eighty years ago the forces of fascism try to encircle madrid the battle of her armor is legendary this incline was called suicide hill by the anti fascist brigades twenty thousand died stopping franco from taking the capital. Ok so this was eleven and nine hundred thirty seven at ninety one his memory is undimmed. Your number there more coriander like that but my mother and i ran to a house looking for shelter we thought it was the end of the world we heard the explosions they made a great impression on me i understood then that we were at war. At the local museum you can see how outgunned the empty fascists were faced with the aircraft and tanks at francos disposal these men and women came from across spain and far beyond to protect york from fascism only two years before the outbreak of world war two. And then i think if we go after that madrid was called the heroic city they fought tooth and nail if madrid fell the next poets agree franco would have won the war sooner they want to talk all about this here because its so important not only for historians what happened here eighty years ago plays directly into the sense of outrage that many spanish people have about whats happening in catalonia right now the catalans they say are using the campaign for independence as a historical crutch to cover up their own sense of entitlement and victimhood the sense that the cats lands were the only people who suffered under franco when actually much of the rest of spain did too. In the nearby town which is nothing like as rich as much of modern catalonia the spanish flags are out in force large parts of spain suffered starvation after the war they will do it but the claims of the council are leadership for special sympathy and i look you up in april but here we are sad and worried we cant repeat history during the civil war the town square was washed in blood it wasnt only one region that was suffering. History can be read in more than one way. The legacy of franco is used in catalonia for a new sort of nationalism here though in an age of new european divisions they say it is a reason for unity. Zero in the home of the. British Prime Minister theresa may says the amount the u. K. Will have to pay to exit the wont be known until the country leaves an address to Parliament May said the final details of britains withdrawal deal will be agreed at the end of the a negotiating process in march two thousand and nineteen aborts indicate brussels could demand as much as eighty billion dollars from u. K. To satisfy commitments made under the treaties the german chancellor says a deal limiting the intake of refugees will help forge a new Government Coalition marshall has announced a cap on new arrivals of two hundred thousand a year thats an attempt to unite the conservative bloc after unprecedented losses in last months election immigration is seen as one of the biggest hurdles to forming a government germany taken more than one million migrants between two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen before i mean. Im happy that we found a compromise we didnt make it easy for ourselves yesterday for many hours we discussed all facets of asylum refugee law and immigration. We also analyzed the Current Situation and it was clear that it is all about an Overall Concept an Overall Concept and a regular framework for migration. At least twelve our heads are refugees have drowned after their boat capsized on its way from me and maher to bangladesh ten of the dead were children and eight people were rescued it is the third incident of refugees drowning since the latest crackdown by they mean more military began in august hundreds of thousands from the Muslim Minority group have been forced to leave rakhine state. More from coxs bazaar and bangladesh. With the news that yet another boat full of refugees capsized while it was attempting to cross from me and more to bangladesh comes another reminder of the magnitude of this refugee crisis and the fact that her hands are refugees are still trying to flee and come into bangladesh this area you see behind me these people that are here they all crossed by foot into bangladesh just earlier today weve heard horrific tales from them about what happened to them was a woman over there who told us that her husband was executed in the past week by me and mars military theres a young boy over here showed us a wound on his leg said he got out when the me and my army shot at the group that he was with very sad stories more reminders that this exodus doesnt seem as though it will in anytime soon thats one reason why aid groups humanitarian organizations are so concerned about the plight of these people and a newly released video by the u. K. s Disasters Emergency Committee shows the scale of the henge a crisis large numbers of refugees had been forced to settle in cali camp just one of several in bangladesh about five hundred fifteen thousand have arrived in the country from myanmar since a military crackdown make an on august twenty fifth hundreds of civilians are fleeing the iraqi town of hawaii to escape the ongoing fighting there and us back to iraq a troops an iranian trained shia militia declare victory over eisel there on thursday after a two week offensive the pockets of eisel fighters are still battling for control in the surrounding area but the fall of a wager the only part of iraq that remains under eisel is a stretch along the western border with syria. Palestinian factions fatah and hamas are in cairo for talks on reconciling their decade long split the deal brokered by the Cabinet Meeting in gaza last week marking the return to work of the unity government but the reports of occupied west Bank Divisions remain even over the parameters of the upcoming talks on their way out of gaza hamas officials not for the first time in recent weeks optimism the architecture of a deal had been brokered by egypt now it was for hamas and fatah to start work on the details in cairo face to face. We are going to karachi to discuss the mechanism of implementing the two thousand and eleven color agreements we already signed with massa which includes the p. L. O. Preparing for elections and forming a unity government. But before the hamas negotiators even left it was clear the other side had different expectations. Telling nothing had come of the twenty eleven agreement instead would present a vision for a unified National Strategy for hamas to sign up to that much of this do they want to have. It ever. Delivery of services would certainly be welcomed by garzon suffering daily deprivation the divide which began with gun battles ten years ago has combined with the israeli blockade scene gars a slide into economic and humanitarian calamity a situation worsened by three conflict with israel in which thousands of palestinians died this year palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas imposed restrictions on salaries and electricity supplies increasing the pressure on hamas to seek a deal now hes insisting that any agreement prevents hamas is military wing from remaining an external alternative center of power. A buses position is that he refuses the equation whereby the Palestinian Authority governs overground and hamas governs underground so it seems the issue of arms is on the table even though it wasnt in previous agreements. For all the smiles on the show in gaza last week when the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister assembled his cabinet for a formal handover of power this reconciliation remains at a fragile early stage previous attempts to end the split have ended in failure there is early momentum this time not least as a result of egypts intervention but now comes the harder test of thrashing out longstanding divisions in direct negotiations are a force that.

The trouble ministration is scrapping roles which limit air pollution from power plants at the Environmental Protection Agency Scott Pruitt announced the move in a speech to miners in kentucky you told them the war on coal is a work permit says the rules known as the Clean Power Plan will be repealed on tuesday the plan was president Barack Obamas signature piece of environmental policy several u. S. States say they will challenge the Trump Administration decision in court the repeal of the Clean Power Plant is the latest in a plan that is the latest in a series of major changes in u. S. Environmental policy since President Trump was elected the plan requires states to reduce emissions in line with the amount of energy they use during the two thousand and sixteen president ial election donald trump said it destroyed jobs in the coal reach him soon after taking office trump appointed scott pruitt to lead the e. P. A. And asked him to review the plan trump and pruitt are Climate Change skeptics are moving pollution limits will make it difficult for the u. S. To fill its commitments under the Paris Climate Accord earlier this year trump said he plan to withdraw from that deal which was agreed to by more than two hundred countries to bring in jamie hand in boston hes cofounder and director of communications at three fifty dot org an International Climate Campaign Group we appreciate your time so much so how big of a blow was this to those who are fighting Climate Change well its a big blow but its one that were going to fight back against you know by moving to repeal the Clean Power Plan President Trump administrator pruitt are continuing to just do the bidding of big polluters instead of actually representing the interests of our communities and our Childrens Health and the environment so this is just the first move in a year long attempt to actually repeal this planet some things can be fought tooth and nail along the way pruitt has said that the Obama Administration plan overstates the benefits of this plan do you disagree. We do disagree the evidence is clear that the Clean Power Plant is a benefit for not only the environment but also for Public Health and for jobs the estimates were that it would save three thousand six hundred premature deaths tens of thousands of asthma attacks and our kids hundreds of thousands of job hours theyre lost every year because people are getting out of attacks and are too sick to go to work on the economic side already in this country there are more than five times as many jobs in clean energy as there are jobs and coal or gas solar jobs are growing at twelve times the rate of the rest of the economy so this idea that theres a war on coal in this is bad for jobs as is the definition of fake news the real war here is a war on the environment the war on Public Health the war on our children and our communities this administration seems hell bent on continuing to roll back the types of protections were going to need to not only address the Climate Crisis but to keep our communities safe from the pollution thats been devastating them for decades is there any room for a type of compromise because both sides talk about jobs is there any room for compromise anywhere on this. Look i mean the real jobs plan that we need for communities that were reliant on coal and had a great history of providing energy for this country is to really honor that history and begin a job retraining program to get benefits to those communities to help support coal miners and their families republicans in congress have time and time again voted against those measures and instead continue to prop up this fantasy that the coal industry is coming back in some sort of way you know this is dragging people long to benefit a few fossil fuel billionaires who write campaign checks to these politicians scott prove himself now the administrator of the way received a fifty thousand dollars check from Murray Energy to his campaigns and Campaign Committees before he became administrator so this is just a handout to the billionaires behind the businesses it wont do anything to bring back these communities and their jobs instead we really do need to begin to be investing in the transition to one hundred Percent Renewable Energy and a new economy so you say well us well into the future use your say youre going to fight this what are your options. Well theres a number of options first is Legal Options its heartening to see state attorney generals already announcing that theyre going to sue the trumpet ministration over this environmental groups will do the same bringing court cases forward to challenge this rule and second is really getting the public involved were going to be calling on people across the country to submit Public Comments to oppose this rollback of regulations to turn out for public hearings but the next piece is really for everybody listening we need to build a movement that can push back on this in ministrations attacks on our communities and climate and put forward a new agenda that talks about the benefits of clean energy the benefits of Climate Action the need to move quickly that Movement Building work of getting into our communities getting into the streets is going to be crucial if were going to help build the type of Political Energy necessary to hold back this immiseration from continuing these assaults right jamie han thank you very much.
