And that thats why they resort to old is the violence and obstructions causing huge damage to economy and sort of daily life all over people so i am indeed very worried about this situation and thats why i appeal for calm calmness and rationality to help us to overcome this situation. Mcbride is live at the airport rob what are the chances that kerry lands message is actually in any way going to resonate resonate with these protesters. And thats right resell incredible scenes here this friday afternoon now getting into friday we begin hong kong the protests swelling throughout the afternoon are now completely taking over this whole terminal and it has to be said an incredible performance yet again from hong kongs beleaguered. Carry law it does seem quite baffling but it is crucial moment and lets remember last weekend was the most serious and widespread of the arm rest of the violence weve seen here everyone is now looking to the numbers this weekend to see whether that is the shape of things to come whether we are entering a new phase here we heard about this press conference from carrying just over an hour and a half ago there was a big expectation my goodness she was going to went out something very major to try to head off another we can devote the rest as she has done in the past you remember it was weeks to go before a big weekend protests like this that she announced that this extradition bill was going to be suspended there was a building expectation that she was going to announce something something since substantial she came to the press conference spoke about the shopping im being a bit flippant there she spoke more widely about the economy shes been having meetings with Business Leaders hong kong is a business oriented city the economy has taken a battering the property sector retail the number of visitors has dropped by a 3rd all those things are true but at this stage which is a fairly crucial moment in hong kong history to come and address just the Economic Issues and say that these people are being irresponsible and damaging the economy could potentially be very inflammatory once more they will be support for this in beijing that will be support for many in the business sector who are saying the prosperity is important Stability Development all of those things 6 this will help them. Will be absolute outrage from everybody who was opposed to the iraq if you look at one of the demonstrations in the streets at least 2000000 people in a city of 7000000 people from impartial observers to would you come to know it there will be the verdict of death at this stage for sure all right robin pride live for us and hong kong rob thank you china is china that is issued its highest red alert warning as a typhoon makes its way towards the eastern coastline typhoon lukemia is expected to make landfall in jame province on saturday its already battered taiwan killing one person leaving 60000. 00 households without power japan was also hit some people were injured in flights and Ferry Service is disrupted yemen to the rebels say the younger brother of their leader of. The has been killed they issued a statement announcing that abraham our athena who theory but they didnt specify the cause theyre blaming agents of what they say is a u. S. Israeli saudi coalition. And fears of a new battlefront and yemens conflict are growing is fighting intensifies in the south between Government Forces and separatists backed by the United Arab Emirates mortars have been fired and tanks are on the streets of aden as battles spread towards the airport at least a dozen people have been killed since fighting broke out on wednesday and her schapelle has more. A rift continues to grow between the local forces of the saudi u. A. E. Coalition after dozens of their soldiers were killed in a hooty attack last week southern separatists blamed the internationally recognized government of president of drug monsour hadi of failing to protect them and called for hardees government to be overthrown the fragile negotiations taking place to bring an end to yemens war the United Nations is calling on the parties to stand down where were very concerned about the growing violence there were see in. This something this special envoy himself has stated. It is important for everyone to recommit themselves to a political process hotties government has support from saudi arabia the southern secessionist led by a true selves a baby are backed by the United Arab Emirates while the iraqis announced their withdrawal from yemen last month theyve armed trained and left behind 90000 troops made up of fighters from southern communities and the coastal plains that opens up the prospect of a new front line between a u. A. E. Backed force against the saudi backed government. Its going to be very dangerous they are on the same side in terms of fighting the host the or annoy a northern opponent out however in reality they have not been getting along for months and the southern separates us forces especially represented in the Southern Transitional council have called repeatedly to secession and feel like the time is ideal to selfdetermination and to pursue it now so it seems that although theyre fighting against a common enemy the time has come where differences amongst them are more important than just fighting that enemy. The area where the fighting is taking place is the highest point in the city and near the president ial palace and even though the building is largely empty its still considered the seat of government without a resolution to their longstanding demands southern separatists may decide to try and take their seat at the negotiating table if one isnt given to them and schapelle aljazeera. Has more from santa. This is the ration in aden is a very dangerous for all the civilians there many families are still trapped. Living between the fighting groups the Transitional Councils Security Forces continue their battles in the days that Populated Areas many appeals have been issued by civilians while traveling between booth while fighting they have called for for operating access to the to these people to get out of the cities all especially the districts where the 1st confrontations are taking place which are in in a whole mike southern creator the 1st confrontations which have started only around the president ial palace now it has extended out throughout the city there were also the president ial guards have also do being deployed to. To fight with the bill Security Forces now the situation is really difficult for the people there they are calling for for for access for them to flee the city. According to some reports from local sources. Over 11 people have been killed. From both sides claim lawrence is a professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University Says the latest violence as a setback to a political solution. Similar conflicts like syria like here via libya when you dont only have 2 sides but you have a bunch of other militias and jihadist groups with their own agendas the main game is to have a big deal between the 2 sides like we had in sudan in very different circumstances in july where the too many forces decide were going to make a deal and then were going to have side negotiations with the others to try to stem what they can do and then if you have a big deal and most of the others join on then it becomes easier for countries like United States and others who are primarily concerned with kara terrorism against the hardest to focus on the jihadist groups who then become much more vulnerable because they can take advantage of the chaos that the other types of fighting creates but right now the problem is that the situation is that its its the opposite of trust Building Trust its hard to do in these circumstances when allied troops cant really rely or even trust each other anymore so its going to take some months to rebuild these coalitions back so that we can get the eventual the jailed kurdish leader of a colony says that he is ready to talk with turkish authorities to work on a solution in the conflict with kurdish fighters hes been imprisoned for 20 years now and a statement or as a lawyer says the current do not need a separate states if out of the Kurdistan Workers Party the k k which launched a separatist campaign against the turkish state in 1904 its blacklisted as a terrorist group by turkey and barker has more from istanbul. To launch a land the founding father of the p. K. K. Has released a statement through his lawyers in which he said that he was very confident that he could resolve the conflict between the turkish state and kurdish fighters within a week he said he also said the turkish government needed to do whats necessary or slam is the founding father of the p. K. K. That began a separatist insurgency against the turkish state in 1904 he was jailed in 1909 and is currently being held in a maximum security prison on an island in the sea of marmara hes been denied a lawyer since 2011 but this year is seen as lawyers on several different occasions he also still exerts a tremendous amount of influence over the p. K. K. And its offshoot the y. P. Gee what does all of this mean well there is a new context for these comments in the form of hopes of creating a safe zone in Northern Syria negotiations between turkey and the United States have been intense in recent days plans to create a safe zone a tentative largely because of a fundamental difference of opinion over the why p. G. Viewed very much in turkey as a terrorist organization a threat to National Security but seen by the United States as allies in the fight against isis or could this in some way soften the stance between turkey and the white b. G. All of that is unclear.

S. Embassy for inviting people to come to this on of rights protest on their twitter page while the u. S.

Bank denies any wrongdoing and race to replace donald trump the democratic partys front runner is joe biden and the career of the former u. S. Vice president is under scrutiny particularly a criminal justice. 25 years ago is blamed for selling the prison population to the worlds highest courts darrius perkins was released from prison in early july having served 23 years of a 35 year mandatory minimum sentence for selling crack cocaine in 2018 a new law retroactively reduced such long sentences for crack cocaine offenses will. Try to play no. The us has the highest prison population in the world incarceration exploded in the eightys with the beginning of the socalled war on drugs and because black communities are intensively targeted by Law Enforcement it was africanamericans who were arrested and jailed disproportionately even though white drug use was equal or more than that of blacks joe biden took credit for the 986. 00 law that mandated the same sentence for 5 grams of crack possession as 500 grams of cocaine and he followed that with a 994 crime bill which mandated federal mandatory life sentences for repeat drug offenses and encouraged us states to do the same the devastation of africanamerican communities through the drugs crackdown was apparent yet it rejected recommendations to end the sentencing disparity for crack and ignored calls to focus more on Crime Prevention than punishment we do everything but hang people for jaywalking. In this bill mandatory minimum sentences passed during joe bidens tenure increased the federal prison population by about 800 percent and theres a pretty direct correlation between mandatory minimum sentences and federal prison growth i think the causal link is pretty clear and undeniable in fairness to biden he wasnt alone in advocating harsh sentencing and it was electorally popular but the issue has become controversial in 2019 because he campaigned only his crime legislation until relatively recently despite the obvious social devastation and his recent apologies have been filled with qualifications and he said were talking about things that happened a long time ago barack obama trusted me that should be enough reference. Darrius is now 46. 00 and adjusting to a world thats changed since he was jailed at 23. 00 but while billions of dollars have been spent on prisons and police due to bidens legislation the lack of opportunity in his hometown remains vivid. Worse we dont even have a store that hed be the center of. Nobody wants to were going to want to sell want to. Break the law you know. About more opportunity want to be the. You know middle class we want to. You know be to put our children in college who want to do it.
