Lets bring it on to sirius and agalloch has live for us in miami and whats the latest on the concert up close and houston a and to what extent do we have to look at this move by the u. S. In the context of novembers election. Well in diplomatic terms agent pretty dramatic scenes in houston on friday that deadline came around at about 4 pm in the afternoon 40 minutes after that state u. S. State officials moved in prising open locks breaking into that consulate but before all that happened there were some pretty unusual scenes seen in aerial photographs of consulate staff appearing to burn documents shredding other documents and putting them into bins outside the consulate and then just before the deadline 3 consulate viands seen leaving the scene now as to whether this will play out in the president ial elections in november that seems pretty certain at the moment i remember back in 2016 when donald trump was running for the presidency he used the word china perhaps more than anything else and there was a wide ranging speech by mike pompei o at the Nixon Library a few days ago and that was really a window into the how d the trumpet ministrations going to approach its breaking down relations with china they talked about other countries needing to join in that was a poke there at germany a very disguised one but this isnt a battle of ideologies mike pompei always saying look we are a free people weve been perhaps naive in the past under under other administrations in tackling china but donald trump as a president will not stand for that so i think that will be very much part of his platform going into novembers president ial election on his ears and he got to live for us there in miami many thanks indeed. U. S. Federal agents sent to portland by President Donald Trump again fired tear gas a protest as a made arrests demonstrations have rallied every night 8 weeks now demanding racial equality and Police Reform leaders in oregon state say the agents are only making things worse later hotting reports. Federal agents again firing tear gas at black lives matter demonstrators in downtown portland. The protesters have spent weeks demanding racial equality in america while others are calling for Police Reforms and an end to brutality by officers the City Center Court house is the focus of the anger in portland. That anger increased when President Donald Trump ordered federal agents to be sent to the city to protect the port 18 arrests have been made this week fireworks were aimed at the building and several fires lit was the federal agents who responded with tear gas was the was like it was it was how he was there was that. Organ state officials opposed federal Law Enforcement in portland they say federal agents in riot gear only making the situation worse. Than. The rebirth of the. Guard for the protests across the u. S. Began in may after the Police Killing of unarmed black american george floyd. Trump has promised to back the police and stop the protests in a speech this week he said he will be sending hundreds of federal troops to cities all across america americans was hold their city leaders accountable they must insist that Community Officials fully support fully back and fully fund their local Police Departments there is simply no substitute for a Police Department that has the strong backing of city leaders. As well as the tear gas fired during the latest unrest in portland Peaceful Protesters released balloons and bubbles. The. More protests are expected the a hearty al jazeera. Lets picture you are williams and some paul in minnesota hes the University Chair and distinguished professor of history at the university of thomas good to have you with us professor a u. S. Judge just tonight an order to sort by oregon to limit federal agents powers jury in the process what is you what is your take on whats happening important right now. I think whats happening in portland right now is very disturbing to many primarily because it is an overreach by the federal government to involve itself in local politics this is unprecedented in American History typically when you have a situation like this where local authorities are overwhelmed or cannot conduct the business of the state they reach out to the federal government for assistance in this case you have the federal government the trumpet ministration actually deploying federal agencies federal Law Enforcement agencies to states and cities where the president has deemed the little of the worries incompetent to deal with this threat but its also very much politicized so there is a great deal of consternation about what for most people d is an unconstitutional measure taken on by the federal government to involve itself in local affairs so is what were saying here the trumpet ministration exhibiting signs of authoritarianism. And you talk about the political politicize ational of this as the election approaches and if and if it is the case how concerned should people be. People should be very concerned adrian i think part of the challenge here is that we have a situation here in the United States with murder to exploit were black clouds american testers were again making the case that the federal government and the states needed to do something with Police Brutality in streets present from politicized that message by arguing that calls for the fun police were really fairly the old attempts to undermine the state and hes politicized an issue really which at its core was about Democratic Values and not about alternately what the president s hope to do by saying its weak democratic mayors cities that are controlled by democrats that cant control their populace and so hes trying to take attention away from the protesters and their central message but at the same time hes trying to do this in score political points with his base which obviously support this idea that we dont need to Defund Police we simply need more police but what you hear from the protesters important in chicago a city says thats exactly the opposite of what we need right now we need more in lightened and strategic always to think about policing in these communities so weve had 8 weeks of protests in portland how do they and its not as if that the federal agents can come back down the administration will want to look as though its lost to the protesters. Well what the trumpet ministration unfortunately has done adrian is created a ugly game here where theres really only one way that this can be resolved and that is for the federal troops are federal agents who are now acting in the capacity of police d in these localities to yield the streets in the u. N. Control that the local officials the challenge here is that we know the trump of ministration President Trump in particular is not capable of doing that he will not do anything that will make him appear to be weak and so we know that this is going to be standoff and alternately it may result in an escalation i. D. s the recent tensions in the cities you already see protesters gearing up and saying that and they see this is an additional affront to the issues they were already post protesting about terms of Police Brutality in terms of lack of resources and in Health Disparities related to Racial Injustice the United States and racial equality the trumpet ministration unfortunately d has exacerbated these concerns and ultimately done so in a moment where the nation really needs to be focused on a response to that will be endemic were all facing with regard to. Really get to talk to so many thanks indeed you know to williams that and support myself. This is the news are from aljazeera still to come on the program. In russias far east protests show a public crack in support for president Vladimir Putin. Somalias Prime Minister is out of a job well tell you why a panel of voted to have him removed. And later installed the moto g. P. World champion set to miss a race through injury to the 1st time in almost a decade. The u. S. Military has released what it says is proof that russia is violating a u. N. Arms embargo in libya the pentagon claims that these satellite pictures show Russian Military equipment being used on the frontlines of the conflict these include fighter jets ed offense systems and Armored Vehicles the u. S. Says that russia is boosting support for warlords after al jazeera is marked traina reports now from misrata. Weve been seeing recently after his forces building up reinforcing their positions in sirte and the jinn a military has been saying all along that mercenaries belonging to the Russian Wagner group are position in the city of sirte the u. S. Africa command also in may pointed out that orders or posted images of fighter jets russian fighter jets moving to just drop that South Central libya and the idea is that these are russian state jets obviously wagner group or mercenary groups dont really have their own air force so this is and saying that the russians are building up their influence in libya we also saw the russian and the turks suggesting that there is a work in there creating a working group to sort of deescalate the situation. And at the same time on monday President Donald Trump and president sisi are discussing a phone call about the escalating the situation but at the same time the Egyptian Parliament unanimously approved sending troops abroad now many people here think that if the president says he was to deploy troops it would further escalate the situation and would further destabilize the country and have to say the feeling here is that libyans are increasingly being taken out of the Decision Making process. Is a defense analyst and austrias for defense attash in libya he says that russia most likely working on a deal that would safeguard the interests in syria. I would say they delivered if i had the chance fits perfectly into the russians to the interest to be productively via their interests i mean we permit use of the cheek by the few this means the interested in gaining a foothold in Eastern Libya in france that in establishing a navy based meeting both look for the Aircraft Carrier which is the far too big to be hard at the syria and the fight that ships very limited in may but these are not used to intervene in the betting politically and this is a strong indication that that was and needs to lose some kind of understanding pass it understanding between russia and turkey in the background need if. The areas of interest in libya so it could well be that behind the scenes russia and turkey are discussing about Something Like call mom agreement if our aviation the areas of interest like that they did in syria israel has launched airstrikes on Syrian Military targets the army says that its in retaliation for mortars being fired towards the Israeli Occupied Golan Heights tensions been high after a hezbollah fighter was killed in this ready strike near damascus on monday the Lebanese Group is backed by iran and has forces deployed in syria in support of president Bashar Al Assad somalias Parliament Says voted to remove from minister hassan ali kaya has been growing criticism of a k. S. Handling of security the vote comes during a dispute with regional leaders over the timing of a National Election due to take place early next year of the one god as a political analysts who is conducting Doctoral Research in security and state building in somalia at the university of birmingham in the u. K. Good to have you with us why has voted to remove the Prime Minister whats going on here. I think its a bit of a critical. Looking for fall for what has been quitting on indoor summer for last week. And its seems that. There is a political consensus between Villa Somalia the opposition parties in mogadishu there are gay sions the. Bribery bring some of the m. P. s around to making this decision. And also talk of a falling out between the president of the Prime Minister what we know about. The allegations concerning our primary that was. That was there always in someones politics and but there is no way to confirm that. But also also. For the last couple of weeks but the president. The Prime Minister im going to different directions. The reason for that was and those 2 ways. Of Holding Elections next year one was a universal suffrage which was. The way the parliament. Once. Was a selection based on elders. Which in accordance for from the electoral. Commission the federal Member States and the Prime Minister i say one has to go for sort that was a 2 way state they went. Forward for the following. How the dynamics lead to politics. And initial thoughts so what happens next the president what has 30 days to choose a new Prime Minister whos likely to be. Its hard to say but more likely there is one function the parties saying that they want. National unity government Prime Minister coming from the opposition parties and who so that they will have a say in in the upcoming formulation or of the election another one. Which gives the president the mandate and the power to to to select a Prime Minister so whatever way it goes i dont think it will be for 30 days or so if it were not that is how the constitution is i think its in need of a. Really good structure so many thanks to the. Sacking of the editor of the leading news website in hungary has provoked a mass march by antigovernment protestors it follows the mass walkout of journalists in support of the editor is warning that government interfere
