Ahead the u. K. Plans to begin offering h. P. V. Vaccine is to boys in an effort to reduce the rates of cancer. Chinas Foreign Ministry is asking the United States to quote immediately cancel a potential sale of arms to taiwan the u. S. State Department Approves the sale of over 100. 00 tanks 250. 00 antiaircraft missiles and related equipment now the deal would be worth around 2000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars lets get more on the reaction out of beijing wayne hay is there for us so wayne whats the reading of this. Well peter this is the 4th a deal for the United States to sell arms to taiwan under the presidency of donald trump in fact it is the 2nd such deal to be done in this year so these things are fairly regularly sales deals for arms between the United States and taiwan this 1 may be seen in a different light by the Chinese Government though washington is saying that this deal will not alter the balance of power in the region beijing sees it differently and wasted no time criticizing this latest sales deal. Taiwans military is built on equipment from the United States its main supply of arms announcements from washington of sales are always met by an angry response from china and this was no difference its a crude interference in chinas internal affairs and a harms chinas servant and a security interest china is strongly as does such as far and thoroughly opposed to this and has already made a stern representations to the u. S. Side and. China regards taiwan as a breakaway province that it will one day retake that threat is why taipei feels the need to regularly upgrade its weaponry this deal may be viewed by beijing as particularly provocative if its approved by the United States congress at 2200000000. 00 it would be the largest since donald trump took over as president taiwan in the u. S. Continue to consolidate our Security Partnership together will guard the democracy and freedom of the Taiwan Strait and stability in the indopacific region the type of equipment included in the deal is likely to further anger china in a bid to modernize its defenses taiwan will buy n. T. A. Craft missiles and battle tanks the timing of this deal is also likely to be viewed as provocative by beijing it comes amid a truce in a trade war between china and the United States with negotiations possibly restarting next week the u. S. And china have imposed tariffs on each others goods over the past year but the 2 president s agreed to pause hostilities when they met at the g 20 summit in japan last month you they also reiterated their close personal friendship which may be put to the test again if this latest arms deal goes through. Beijing. Ok lets stay with that story take a look now at how the u. S. Has managed to get around the one china policy and keep trade relations with taiwan too well the one china policy is a diplomatic acknowledgement that theres only one Chinese Government and the United States maintains formal ties with china rather than the island of taiwan beijing sees taiwan as part of its territory which should be reunited with the mainland as weve just been hearing however in 1979 the u. S. Did pass a law that allowed its maintain informal relations with taiwan including being its main arms supplier lets talk now to William Hotton hes director of the arms and security project at the center for International Policy he joins us from new york when hartson this relationships always been super sensitive does this make it a little bit more complex yes i think particularly now with trade talks and they are meeting with the protests and. Concerns of those reasons i why i think its its not a fortunate moment its kind of now to go through just because it will complicate matters another once how do they deal with those other big issues then. Well i think ultimately the trade issue may override this but i think in the short term it certainly wont help the i mean china has never been happy about u. S. Arms sales to taiwan these are significant sales in terms of upping its land forces. Or says aircraft it believes so well you know from a Strategic Point of view there is you know you can see a lot though and it never goes right its not going to make a dramatic difference in the overall balance of power but there is a strand of the trumpet ministrations thinking isnt there when it comes to arms sales be it taiwan be it even saudi arabia i guess as well thats primacy you know we do business the business is focused around selling people weapons and thats how its always been. Well yes President Trump you some sucker is the ultimate deal maker and he brags a lot about the jobs created by u. S. Arms sales and he sells well produced jobs in places like pennsylvania and ohio which were central to his electoral victory and im sure he will make a point of communicating that soon has been situ and see so that there is that other element which is not so much strategic but well in terms of domestic u. S. Policy what do you think mr trump might be prepared to do or indeed beijing might be prepared to do to to decompress the pressure that seems to be building in this particular part about jigsaw a relationship. Well i think you know why so than just the arm sounds its going to be some understanding of each side and strategic position and i think you know President Trump has been erratic at best in his indication china but i think theres going to be some reassurance that all of the u. S. Supports the defense of taiwan and by no means that support anything like independence or you know change the basic rules of the road that have existed for decades now with autumn thank you very much thank you. The u. A. E. Appears to be withdrawing some of its sources from yemen thats according to media reports quoting senior iraqi officials describing it as a redeployment and theyre insisting they do remain committed to the Saudi Led Coalition fighting to see rebel since 2015 the rebels are calling for a full withdrawal jamaal a child with more. After 4 years of fighting reports say the emirates are reducing their troop numbers to pave the way for what theyre calling a strategic redeployment plan in yemen the hope of using those opposed to the u. A. E. Saudi war say its a withdrawal a sign that the 2 countries are losing the war. In reality its difficult to know the exact reason behind the troop withdrawal 4 years since the war began what started off as an International Coalition of arab and muslim countries led by saudi arabia to restore the un backed government in yemen has turned into a coalition of true saudi and the u. A. E. Bombing yemen and transforming it into the worst humanitarian catastrophe on earth according to the United Nations. 4 years ago there was almost daily briefings by the Saudi Led Coalition troop numbers were given together with military targets but since Human Rights Violations have emerged and accusations of war crimes have been leveled against the saudis and their immoralities information has been much less forthcoming. Activists have filed court cases in the United Kingdom petitioning the government to stop selling british weapons to the gulf countries targets in yemen particularly saudi arabia last month the u. K. Supreme court ruled that on sales to saudi arabia were unlawful a decision the u. K. Government is appealing. In the United States members of both the house and the senate are demanding that on sale stop true and that according to nobel prize recipients and rights activists who are called carmen is the main reason for the u. A. E. Withdrawing troops. And their this is a partial withdrawal intended to improve the u. A. E. Is image in front of the International Community this withdrawal has come as a result of the emirates failure in yemen im certain that the u. A. E. And saudi arabia will retreat in shame from yemen after they fail completely there was real pressure from the u. K. On the emirates that forced them to withdraw in order to repair their Public Relations image another important reason is the iranian threat if tension in the region continues the u. A. E. Would be a prime target. Its not Just International pressure thats been applied on the emirates the north u. S. Backed by iran have proven to be a formidable enemy taking the war to the u. A. E. They claimed responsibility for an attack on International Airport last year when an unmanned drone was able to reach its target without being intercepted while debates will continue over the reasons behind the reduction in forces many will be asking after 4 years of death and destruction what exactly has been achieved the un recognized government remains on able to govern the cooties maintain control over yemen the only difference is more yemeni men women and children have been killed or had their livelihoods destroyed. The military spokesman for the new weapons to strike targets in saudi Arabia Aljazeera cant independently verify the images shown in his presentation i have on but it is a recognition drone that can fly over the skies of saudi arabia would a depth of over 500 kilometers as you can see on the screen it is the recognition some odd one you can reach into a very deep areas in Enemy Territory and it easy huge achievement you can transmit everything it recognizes and all the information it collects directly from the operation theater. Lets get more on that one for you mohammed joins us live now from the yemeni capital mohammed was the significance of that announcement. Yes during his press conference the general british did it brigadier you has syria the spokesperson of the whole of the militaries. Try to show that the they have become stronger despite the over 4 years of war with the Saudi Led Coalition. He showed the b. V. Techniques that they have already developed especially that the the cruise messiah will be which has been dubbed as a course or euro zone messiah will also be the drone which has been dubbed or named after of the former. President of the Supreme Political Council which is also run by the who. Has been named they are some other 3 he mentioned some drawn 33 has the capability to to travel for long distances and to head. Affectively that its targets he mentioned that the such as some 3 could reach 1700 kilometers it has been also used during the recent operations as on monday we have attacked the airports and the saudi arabia along with the power plants we have also he has mentioned also that capable to produce snipers and munitions and the the are also able to produce their own and munitions to fight for years. Try trying to send a message that the we have become stronger despite of the war the continue to wage against the saudi lit quality and. This is important for them and significant to send a message that they want this war to be 2 to 2 to reach an ant marmot thank you. After weeks of mass rallies hong kongs chief executive today announced a controversial extradition bill is now dead. Governments work on the proposed law the been a total failure however prodemocracy activists im convinced thats the end of the bill mcbride reports from hong kong. After more unprecedented protests hong kongs chief executive power lamb appeared to yield. With an admission of failure in base handling this controversial legislation she promised it is now dead there are still lingering doubts about the governments sincerity always whether the government will restart the process in the legislative council. So i reiterate here there is no such plan the bill instead opposition to the bill has resulted in mass protests with some violent clashes between a minority of demonstrators and police prodemocracy groups fear the bill would allow china to extradite political opponents from hong kong to face summary justice in mainland courts a claim the Hong Kong Government rejects but carry lymes concession doesnt go far enough for the protesters this week hell say. Look the. City should feel. Like its a little. Bit if. We can find out what can. Protesters believe the chief executive is playing with words and that although her government has given up on plans to introduce this legislation theres nothing to stop a future administration from trying again part of what many people here believe is a gradual erosion of Hong Kong Special freedoms within china the demonstrators are also demanding a full independent investigation into. What they claim has been the excessive use of force by the police in breaking up largely peaceful protests. The governments strategy seems to be weathering this period of unrest hoping public support for the protesters will wane and that its concessions will have an impact this kind of kates are counterproductive he dont handle the crisis is way now he has to assume he will. Be old enough parents he has failed to do so on agents of all and all of. Them will have to or. For the pro establishment camp the fact that people have taken to the streets in such numbers is evidence that home polls freedoms like the freedom of expression are alive and well. The bad news for the Hong Kong Government the protesters are promising more rallies Macbride Al Jazeera all call. Plus more news still to come for you here on the news hour including more than 170. 00 arrests in turkey well tell you why. Russia turns up the pressure on georgia will have the latest from moscow. And in sports paris and german say the worlds most expensive footballer can leave the club bar us here with us story in about 30 minutes. Turkey has ordered the arrest of 176 military officers accusing them of having been involved in the failed coup back in 2016 and process for 2 glenn a turkish political figure living in exile in the u. S. Was behind the failed coup and prosecutors say the military officers they want to arrested have links to him so far 77000 people have been jailed simcoe sort of has more from istanbul. Those 176 military personnel have been arrested or theyre suspected links with the glen moment for to laughlin moment and they are suspected communications with good and movements covert operatives which is turkish authorities call the secret to moms according to the turkish authorities in Istanbul Prosecutors Office investigation those moved to personnel have contacted the what they called secret in moms pay phones and encrypted messaging systems in the turkish government accuses fatah lockdowns and thats work for for the fate of courts and trying to overthrow the elected government and the trick is there to software that kids dont infiltration in the turkish institutions in the past 3 years following the failed coup attempt at least 7 to 7000 people have been jailed pending trial and iran 170000 Civil Servants military personnel and others have been suspected or sacked from their jobs and this crackdown has been highly criticized by turkeys western allies and the government defended itself by saying that this is a National Security threat and the crackdown is necessary the opposition has also criticized the government for not doing anything about it a lucky man Networks Extensions and a turkish politics mainly including the ruling out party. Ok joining us here on the news a body hes a security political analyst he joins us from increase if a part of the one felt the need to do this. I do not think that mr r. Dong has need to do this but all the political leaders inside turkey should do this because turkey has faced many military interventions drafty this political history so it is more than maybe 6 or 7 times of military intervention and when you take a look at the military interventions many different groups had. Attempted for a military coup incited turkey and throughout the history of its political life for the 1st time a military intervention has been suppressed by the nation for this reason this action the good earnest order should be stopped inside turkey because this is not the ori trop the last 10 years many people has suffered because of their network infiltrated to the minister of Justice Minister of security and minister of Foreign Affairs for this reason not only are the want to do this but also all polled leaders should do this otherwise the street asian would not be different from when you compare it with egypt ok so just to be clear your take on the story is quite simple it is this every so often when he gets a relevant bit of intelligence the kind of blips on his radar any turkish president should in effect cap the military knew to them and get rid of what to sri 400. 00 senior ranking officers and then imprison them. Its true the democratic a contra lot armed forces is one of the most important key factor in all the nato countries invest in democracies so what the turkish government is not saying just isnt right for certain and wrong im not one of those you know how is that a recipe the case youre using the word democracy there in the same sentence as youre talking about more than 170 people being arrested on top of the 77000 whove been arrested since the failed coup in 2016 how is that in any world in any shape or size democracy yeah ok the democratic will control of the armed forces is a normative terminology im using this for this reason so they have infiltrated incite the army and 3 years ago we have seen that the military intervention was on the street again on the streets of the turkey that you take a look at the turkish democracy you are familiar with the militar
