Hit a daily record in the u. S. Safer now al jazeera meets a group of or hinder refugees sheltering it into after weeks at sea. Im joined again go with the sports. He is awaiting finally yields in English Premier League title for liverpool. We begin this news in the u. K. And the suspect in the stabbing attack in glasgow has died after being shot by police 6 people and hospital including a Police Officer after the incident reportedly happened in the stairwell of a hotel police say theyre not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident lets go live now to london and to al jazeera as Lawrence Leigh lawrence what more do we know about what happened today in glasgow. Well the i mean the details are exactly as you describe them a man enters repeatedly stab several People Armed Police for calls shot him hes since diets of his injuries and its now widely reported that 3 people who were stabbed by the man have died as well so all very horrific obviously everybody is wondering whats the motivation might have been and while were still waiting for anything from the police well what i can now tell you is a bit more context about what had been happening at the building and in glasgow and recent days because its become clear that the hotel had been being used by a private contractor to house Asylum Seekers from the middle east during lockdown quite controversially apparently and move them out hostiles into the hotel and one syrian man having been moved hanged himself a couple of weeks ago. A few days ago in clause co when it became clear that this was happening there was a big demonstration in support of refugees and Asylum Seekers by people chanting refugees are welcome here this morning the reason why they held the demonstration was because since it became clear the solemn speakers were in this hotel there had been a number of far right demonstrations against the Asylum Seekers outside the hotel and so evidently one theory must now be that the attack far from being terrorism or whatever the initial supposition by the u. K. Media might have been its act may have been a racist attack against the Asylum Seekers being housed inside the hotel but we dont know that either everything at the moment is on is absolutely on the level of supposition its clear from the pictures that were looking at right now lawrence of the Major Incident is under way in glasgow as we as we speak. This hotel want number one of a number that has been used to house very controversial circumstances Asylum Seekers. Yes it is peculiar because the police are calling it a Major Incident just just on the 1st part of your question even though theyre saying that the whole things on the control in the not looking for anybody else and there was one suspect and hes obviously not dead so its a major instance in the sense that theyre treating it obviously as next a crime scene and theyre trying to get to the bottom of it as a part of the 2nd part a question about the nature of the hotel its it is very difficult they did the Scottish Governments unlike the government in london to be honest has has tried to burnish its reputation for looking after refugees and Asylum Seekers the Scottish Government very keen to say that scotland is a safe place for Asylum Seekers from the middle east and it wants to do its part in trying to look after them which is obviously a contrast to the situation more broadly in england in particular but the housing of refugees and Asylum Seekers all over this country is absolutely terrible i mean ive been to lots of places in england where you have Asylum Seekers from different ages all Different Countries all living in one tiny house together in absolutely awful conditions and that they did the amounts of resources that are put into helping these people generally speaking is it is very poor and its obviously terrible for people who may be suffering things like p. T. S. D. And Mental Health issues having come from war zones nil and all the rest of it so that there is a big a general question about the about the housing of Asylum Seekers in the u. K. But the obviously the issue to do with this isnt is so much to do with that but as to whether they were a target or not but people from the far right laurence we may well speak to you again in the news as the picture becomes clearer for the moment many thanks indeed Lawrence Leigh there live for us in london.

At approximately 6 38 am local time there was a coordinated attack against mexico citys Public Security secretary to get see how the food he is essentially the police chief for the mexican capital now i want to make one thing clear here adrian the attack actually took place in downtown mexico city less than a block away from aljazeera is Mexico City Bureau so it was it was practically right out right outside that in itself is big news this is not the sort of thing that residents of mexico city are used to seeing there are pockets of instability in different parts of the country where different organized groups and cartels operate and control territory but its simply not the sort of thing that we are used to seeing take place here in mexico city this a curious secretary was traveling in Armored Vehicle and in a Sport Utility vehicle when a group of heavily armed men opened fire from another Vehicle Police say that the attackers were using high caliber weapons 50 caliber rifles as well as grenades so again this is a and not dayshift attack that people here are simply not used to seeing several casualties have been reported we do not yet have a number of how many people died during this attack but we can confirm that at least 2 Police Officers that were accompanying the security secretary were killed during the attack as well as one bystander the police chief recently tweeted that hes placing the blame on the. Least that they are highly skilled move ahead of us here and at least those new Generation Cartel that in itself is also big news mexico city authorities have long held that the police go cut that has not been operating in mexico city though the cartel did post a you tube video in february claiming that they were operating here in mexico city the attack that took place earlier today appears to be evidence of that adrian ok.

Yes we spoke to Kellyanne Conway a counselor to the president earlier this week asked why there hadnt been a meeting of the Coronavirus Task force in public and she said there wasnt information there wasnt the i didnt see it to get the information out to the public the fact that there are no holding this briefing suggests that that situation has changed over the last 48 hours with the United States seeing record totals of infections both on wednesday and then again on thursday a nother indication of how things are turning round here lets go to texas which was one of the states which was one of the last to shut down one of the fox to reopen greg abbott the governor there very much supported by donald trump and his idea of getting this state moving again well just in the last hour hes announced that pubs the bars will close in. Texas time so in 2 hours and they will remain shut for the time being that is a huge step 24 hours ago he was talking about pausing the reopening no theyre actually ruling it back and there have been increases in other states as well this isnt just a spike or a flare as donald trump has been talking about this is a real 2nd wave and clearly there are deep concerns among the scientists which is why we are seeing the this task force hold its briefing interestingly enough it wont be here at the white house you remember all those briefings at the white house in april and early may well know this is going to be at the department of health and Human Services away from the white house and it looks as if the the Current Crisis is taking its toll on president trumps reelection hopes a slew of new polls show him way behind joe biden right now. Alarming pause if youre in the Trump Campaign they say that if the election was held today then he would lose by a landslide and he would lose states which have in the past been overwhelmingly republican the all only good news that i can see in these polls for donald trump is that the election isnt being held today so he still has some time to turn things around but just for example hes behind in florida key swing state hes behind in georgia which you would expect to perhaps be solidly republican and hes behind in texas the importance of that is if youre behind in a state which has been reliably behind donald trump hes won by several points in the past then if you are behind there it means that your campaign has to spend time money and effort just shoring up your support rather than going to swing states lets talk about the swing states wisconsin michigan North Carolina in all of those donald trump is down in the polls as well now he did an interview with fox news on thursday with one of his favorite presenters he was given what many people regard as a very softball question tell us what your priorities are for your 2nd term and he didnt answer that in any form that would suggest he has priorities other than it will be 4 more years of donald trump the messaging from the Trump Campaign has become confused its not really sure what theyre standing for what theyre really offering as you know in politics its all very well saying ive done this over the last 4 years the main question voters ask is what have you done for me no and what are you going to do for me in the future this is big trouble for donald trump as a say the only bright spot hes got is that the election is november and not in june out here is alan fischer reporting live from the white house in washington allan thanks. This is the news from out syria still to come on the program iraqi forces raid the headquarters of an iran backed armed group thats accused of attacking u. S. Military facilities. Queuing for cash in lebanon the struggling economy dollars are only available to a select few. And we take a closer look at the man who led liverpool to their 1st premier league title in 30 years thats in the sport the job a little later. Iraqi Security Forces of raided a base belonging to iran backed Militia Group 10 rockets were seized at least 14 members of his bala would detained including commandos armed members of the group demanding the release aljazeera some of the full team reports now from baghdad. Well we have now a statement an official statement from the government specifically from the Iraqi Joint Operations command summarizing what happened last night when iraqi Security Forces raided a base belonging to the type has bought out a statement confirms that 14 individuals were arrested during the raid and several rockets were seized in an effort to preempt an impending attack on the fortified green zone where u. S. Forces as well as other Diplomatic Missions are based now and we have seen several such drop the rocket attacks take place throughout the month and this raid appears to have been an attempt to try to clamp down on the groups responsible now the statement did also mention that there was an arrest warrant that was issued against those 14 individuals and that is particularly important because in the wake of that raid we saw dozens of armed men presumably belonging to type as bala entered the green zone and lease each to a building that belongs to the Counterterrorism Forces demanding the release of the detainees claiming that the arrest was lawful now there is also a lot of confusion about who exactly holds those 14 detainees the Popular Mobilization forces which includes the type as bala has said that they were released several other sources close to qatar possible have also confirmed that they were lit released however industry that we received from the government it confirms that those individuals are still in the custody of the authorities and that an investigation is ongoing the statement is however a very a vague on 2 aspects it does not say it does not name the group that these 14 individuals belong to and it also does not name the Security Institution the Iraqi Security institution that is holding them so it is possible according to some analysts that these 14 people were in fact transferred to the Security Forces of the Popular Mobilization forces which include hezbollah. Well the Iraqi Government has been promising to crackdown on.
