this time. a deadly attack destroyed her family and left her badly wounded. the last time to california and little girls. as a time progress she became our family. that would touch the hearts of the people around her and i was excited when i saw this. on al-jazeera this time. this is al-jazeera. i'm adrian for again this is the news live from al-jazeera headquarters in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes iraq's parliament votes to sack the governor of

the contested province of cook also claimed by the kurds. the u.s. president denies reports of a deal with the democrats to protect young undocumented immigrants. dozens killed in a fire at a boarding school in quantum of. north korea provokes more tension by threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on japan. but will begin this news hour with breaking news out of iraq we're getting reports of at least ten people being killed in an attack in southern iraq it's believed to have happened in nasiriyah. details of the moment very sketchy will bring you more on that as and when we get it here. in the meantime iraq's parliament has voted to remove the governor of kirkuk the vote comes after a local council meeting in cold. showed support for plans to hold

a referendum on kurdish independence the iraqi government and iraq's neighbors are opposed to the vote earlier this week parliament authorized prime minister hyderabadi to quote take all measures to preserve national unity of so i strive is a visiting fellow at nottingham university joins us now live from london what is the significance of this it's very significant in that it is highlighting the tensions that exist within the government in baghdad and in what is now being called kurdistan the region of kurdistan in iraq the there are two controversial issues here one is the issue of the referendum later on this month for kurdish independence and within that issue is a controversial sub issue which is the the position of cold cook cook

is a contested area that until recently was not under kurdish control it was seen as being part of the wider iraqi government's remit but since isis the kurdish government has had security control over this and so we've got two highly controversial issues coming together. and this dismissal of the governor is very much a symbolic gesture in this conflict it doesn't necessarily help to provide a solution to the political conflict that exists between iraq. and erbil. turkey's foreign ministry issued a statement and said that there would be consequences if this referendum actually goes ahead on the twenty fifth of september. is the region going to take any heed

of what turkey says. i think the world and this is a very interesting part of the story. about two thousand and four turkey made a very clear threat that if the kurds were to take control of kirkuk they will invade it was ambiguous and it was only the intervention of the american government that prevented anything happening since then prime minister birzeit me and his government have worked very hard to improve relationships with turkey so much so that they are very worried very close. trade links between the the regional government and turkey and so how this dynamic between. promise of resigning and turkey is changing is really significant because without

turkish support what might happen is that if kurdistan decides to become independent they will be isolated because they will have no routes out south through the iraqi region of course will be problematic because the iraqi government will not cooperate and north through turkey if turkey is not cooperating will be problematic and then of course the east through iran will be equally difficult for them so i think that prime minister bizarrely will probably be working right now very hard on a diplomatic initiative working out a deal with turkey because part of for to take turkey on. if at the same time as taking baghdad on as well so it's a very complex situation which i think will start to change very rapidly over the next few days and weeks the united states even called on sunday to perspire in the referendum given the current regional tension. it looks like that's going to be

ignored too and that this referendum is going to go ahead what do you read into that. well i think that this is. a very very difficult time for the prime minister very xining because. he has had. a nation or group of people for decades have been pushing for independence the kurds see themselves as the last largest nation without a state and he has held back for political reasons in the last couple of years since isis came on the scene the peshmerga has been involved in the forefront of reestablishing security in large parts of iraq and there is now a groundswell of support for this independence referendum and i think the only way that prime minister bros arnie can get away with this is to say ok we'll have the referendum which will show the people won independence but he

won't actually move towards independence until. the situation stabilizes itself there are more detailed issues here for example the liberation of creature has been pushed by the kurds but ignored or been postponed by the baghdad government in favor of the liberation of mosul in tal afar so there are some. if you like tactical political issues that are not being resolved by the the relationship between baghdad and erbil which is really not working very well and what we're seeing are symptoms of this on the international stage so it is a very difficult complex balancing at that promise to resign is going to have to play with the turks with the u.s. with his other neighbors. i'm not sure how he's going to come out of this but

he certainly has had a lot of experience and he's been. himself to be very adept. with a system that at least classifies some of the important players by deferring actions beyond the referendum in terms of changes. all right good to see so many thanks indeed for being with us ashraf in london let's take you live now to al-jazeera simran khan who is in the bill i could see you watching with great interest. what do you make of this is. going to be able to as you heard there pacify people by not taking any action whatever the referendum itself decides. well he's going to have to do something and this is quite simply it's going to fall to the north to be able to do anything he's

invested an awful lot of his own political capital in this so what's happening now is there seems to be a fight boiling between iraq and the federal government and the kurdistan regional government adalah body in effect a vs massud verizon and now high dollar bodies using all the powers that he can get to try and stop this referendum from going ahead he's already had a vote in the parliament that says the referendum is illegal and now we've had the vote for the dismissal of the governor of cook cook both of those have been dismissed by not only mostly brazeau money but other people here as well as shell's a very key senior politician here advisor to masoud barzani says baghdad simply doesn't have the right to try and remove the governor of all of this is about who has the power when it comes to politics here in kurdistan in the kurdish region sorry is it must be can he go ahead and do this there's also a couple of procedural things that yesterday there is appalling meant being reconvened to more of the kurdish regional parliament they will have to vote to put

the kurdish wreford and into law that means it can go ahead on the twenty fifth so it looks like it's coming to the point where everybody is on a precipice other it does happen or it doesn't happen all right imran many thanks indeed imran khan there live in. u.s. president donald trump has denied reports that he's agreed to a deal that stops the deportation of young undocumented migrants the so-called dreamers but in the past few hours trump's twitter feed suggests that he's open to letting them stay he asked if anybody really wanted to throw out good educated at a company so young people who have jobs he went on to highlight the dream as had been in the u.s. for many years through no fault of their own saying that they were brought in at a young age by their parents were early on thursday democrats said that they reached an agreement to protect the nearly eight hundred thousand dreamers the undocumented migrants were to be safeguarded under an obama administration policy

that back up policy which trump is scrapping let's go live now to washington i was here as probably culhane can tell us more the president here sending something of a mixed message to say the least what's the latest party. well as you said democrats came out and said we have a deal we're going to protect those dreamers as they're called but they're not going to fund the wall they're going to agree to do something on border security but not from the wall so the president's come out just in the last few moments on his way to the state of florida will be touring hurricane damage and he said there's no deal yet but that they're very close basically he's admitting that they're not going to build a new wall saying that there were to renovate and currently are renovating sections of the existing wall say in the walls going to come later but he did say that they're close to a deal on the dreamers letting them stay herds you mentioned eight hundred thousand of them but at the same time when he said does anybody really want to throw them out it's important to remember yes he wants to throw them out this was

a plan that was in place there was no reason other than wanting to blow it up for him to come out and say i'm going to end it in two years and we have six months congress to act and now he seems to be regretting that decision this is going to have huge implications for the political system but mostly for those eight hundred thousand people here in this country that wants to stay there's incredible uncertainty now the president came out and said the republican leadership was on board with this that's not at all clear so we're going to have to see like many things with donald trump it is confusing how is this likely to play out then politically. we have seen huge pushback from his base and this is what's happening right now this is a president who has been governing for the last eight months thinking that he could get reelected if you just kept his base happy and these are the most fervent supporters who have not killed off and yet remember this is a president who announced his campaign by calling the people who come in from mexico rapists and drug dealers so now he's talking about mexican immigrants being

good educated people who contribute to society there is a lot of daylight between those two statements so we've seen and coulter this incredibly conservative commentator come out and say if i'm not going to get a wall i'd prefer president pence at this point who doesn't want to see donald trump impeached those are her tweets we're seeing huge backlash from his most conservative base now here's why that matters if he loses his core supporters he loses any fear that the republican leadership in congress might have of him right now if you look at polls the people who voted for him in the primary they're still one hundred percent behind the president this could be a tipping point and if he starts to lose his base the republicans in congress will be more inclined to turn against him and you already saw some of the commentators talking about well if we're not if he's going to work with democrats if he's not going to build a wall he's not going to follow through on his harshest promises well then we should impeach him that will start to have some resonance with the republican

leadership that even he thinks pretty kohei that live in washington. it with a new sound from al-jazeera still to come on the program the inquiry into the grenfell fire disaster in london gets underway. and i think that we're going to see we're going to see a scale up of the emergency very quickly the push for eva thousands of a hinge or fleeing a military crackdown in. support christiane i run out of champions league hold israel off to a wedding stuff so i will have the sales in around thirty minutes. at least twenty people have been killed in a fire at a malaysian boarding school most of them teenagers police say that the fire began on the top floor of a dormitory of the religious school on the outskirts of. reports. it

took more than an hour for firefighters to put out the flames at the. school in kuala lumpur by then many people mainly teenage boys had lost their lives. such as. we can see from a certain angle their hands waving out for help we had no choice but to ask them to jump out and we tried to catch them we did try to enter the house but the fire was too hot until certain point there was a blackout when that happened things started falling apart we withdrew after that. the fire started near the dormitory on the top floor first thing in the morning and quickly ripped through the entire building and it was a moment i went to the interior of the building is one hundred percent destroyed the mattresses books and all other things in the very damaged but the cause of the fire is still unclear we're still investigating it would have been difficult for the boys to escape as the rooms had barred windows and the fire blocked the only exit i could think of i escaped through the window we dismantled the window group

opened the window and climbed down on a part we force a window grill open at the time we couldn't think much of fire department representative says their bodies were found on top of one another suggesting there was a stampede to try and get out the fire chief says a school should have had to fire escapes but it appears a building codes were not properly followed the initial investigation. by local government and. of course investigation. a community religious leader led prayers for the students who described the boys as cheerful when they held religious events in the community a happy group many of whom have now lost their lives under tragic circumstances.

al-jazeera. the inquiry into a fire that killed eighty people in london is under way the fire started on the fourth floor of the residential grenfell tower block and spread throughout the twenty four storey building in june this year the investigation is expected to look at several factors including building regulations and the response of local government to be phillips reports from west london. at this church in west london very much in the shadow of grenfell tower victims of the fire survivors local residents have been gathering to hear some martin more big give his opening statement what the retired judge said was that his inquiry would have to face is the first look at the specifics of the fire how it spreads how the fire brigade reacted on that terrible night the second phase would be wide and it would look at questions of regulations for high rise buildings fire regulations whether they were observed in this case or not it's clear that some martin more big is going to have

quite a challenge to win over the trust of local residents in this part of london many of them have argued in recent weeks that he was not the right man for the job but he came from too much of an establishment background there's been resentment and anger over what they perceive as the narrow terms of being quietly they wanted a broader inquiry that would look at wealth inequality social housing in this part of london and the very very slow pace with which residents caught up in the fire have been really housed has been another grievance only a handful of families have found permanent alternative accommodation so far u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is in london and held talks with. prime minister to resign made his british counterpart boris johnson will host a session later when libya will be under discussion france italy the u.a.e. egypt and the un special envoy to libya all due to attend. north korea has

threatened to use a nuclear weapon against japan after the u.n. imposed more sanctions against pyongyang the state run korean central news agency says that japan is no longer needed to exist near us it went on to say that the four islands of the japanese archipelago should be sunken into the sea by a nuclear bomb or japan is cabinet secretary or shahid asuka has condemned north korea's threat. you know. this announcement is extremely provocative and outrageous and raises the tension in the region and it is an acceptable and i was just now from our visitors craig leeson who's following developments from tokyo. certainly this threat was considered and expected by the japanese because of the support that this country is giving to its alliance partners the united states over the recent strengthening of the u.n. sanctions against north korea but your pain is taking this threat very seriously

given the recent hydrogen bomb test that took place two weeks ago a bomb that was ten times stronger than the one dropped by the united states on hiroshima and the missile that was launched across the north of japan so it is a very serious threat the defense systems here have been strengthened or will be strengthened we've been told certainly that japan is hoping the united states in that regard by shipping fuel out to these ages destroyers these anti missile destroyers that are in the sea of japan these are part of a range of defense mechanisms that been set up by the alliance which include the missile system in south korea. and we have the patriot battery here in japan and of course the a.g.s. ships contain interceptors which it capable of locking on and taking out any missiles as they launched into space so certainly japan is in readiness the united

states says that the defense system here is strong enough to contain any missile threat that should come from north korea. russian submarines have five cruise missiles at i saw targets in the suburbs of the syrian city of devils or the russian defense ministry said that seven missiles were fired from two of its vessels in the eastern mediterranean station more than five hundred kilometers away from the city russia says that it was targeting eyesores ammunition stockpiles a senior russian negotiator says that his country together with turkey and iran are near finalizing an agreement on deescalation zones in syria the discussing the details of the meeting in kazakstan to take you live now to stand up and desist charles stratford is there what more can you tell us about this. west the first day of discussions here in astonished seems to be drawing to a close and will can only be described as

a relatively optimistic statement by the leading delegate of the russian delegation alexander lover and him who he he is the president's president putin's special representative to syria he described a positive mood throughout today's discussions and he said that he wanted to draw a line under this deescalation zone planned by the end of these meetings he said that the very close to finalizing all the details on these zones he said that they've been discussions between the russians the iranians the turks and the u.n. and the u.s. observers today and he said that these discussions were very much part of a wider looking forward to a wider political agreement in syria those talks obviously being brokered at the u.n. in geneva. he also spoke interesting enough about the potential policing

the monitoring of these deescalation zones there's been a lot of speculation about which countries will be supplying soldiers forces to monitor the zones and he said that it seemed likely that iran russia and turkey would be contributing to those forces but he also said interesting lee that it could be opened up to other international players countries such as the u.a.e. egypt kazakstan china and lebanon this is something new and it's also interesting in the context of what the opposition forces have always said opposition side have always said that they flatly reject any kind of role for the iranians or the russians in monitoring these zones so some optimistic statements certainly from the russian side this also. some statements released by the opposition here something that's come through from their military delegation here in a stana and they have been meeting in

a separate hotel we've had discussions in the hotel behind me between the russians to the iranians. and a syrian syrian government delegation has been here but the opposition have been holding separate meetings in another hotel there military delegation saying that the revolutionary forces reiterated its assertion to the american side the american observers that the syrians were a daring to ask such departure and refused to divide syria and divide it between countries they also said that the regime cannot win unless the international community provides legitimacy for it and this will never happen so on the one side some quite optimistic speeches. words coming from the russian side but with respect to the opposition they still seems to be a lot to flesh out with respect to this agreement and looking forward to a potential white a political solution in syria which seems still obviously a very long way off. many thanks the united nations will boost its aid really for

up to four hundred thousand. that fled violence and minimize rakhine state long lines have formed in neighboring bangladesh where hundreds of people are killing for hours to get rice and other essential items the u.n. says that sanitation is becoming an issue children are at high risk of contracting water borne diseases aid agencies say that they're overwhelmed by the number of people in need of supplies the issue is literally space for distribution. and obviously space for them to live if they are fixed in one place it will be easier for us to mobilize them from their house in a quiet and efficient manner but these people are very mobile so i would say the problems are more operational or programatic. that's from. hussein. on bangladesh's border with me and my.

electricity phone lines of people's homes damaged or gone the situation so precarious the entire populations been evacuated turn which emerged unscathed brown who is prime minister of both islands says it will take more than two hundred million dollars to bring it back to life. the government's trying to take the positives out of the fact that more than ninety percent of buildings here damaged they want to implement an ambitious rebuilding program with high construction standards to guard against future hurricanes and one hundred percent green energy for the island the problem with that is cash they say they don't have anywhere near enough while other island nations devastated by the hurricane like martin in the virgin islands belong to receive help from developed countries doesn't have that support those islands are dependent territories they have them other countries to assist they have britain they have the netherlands france and

a case of ants again by a small independent country with very limited resources. civil engineers have started work anyway assessing the damage house by house they're optimistic about the possibilities how long do you think three building of the. allotment depends on if i like depends and if i believe within twelve months most of it could be done. not just homes but also jobs have been lost fisherman's boats lying ruins. really earned a living from his taxi that's gone now well right now i'm feeling it very very bad because what happened since that time the hurricane has passed this is the we. don't bust right now and there's not much i can do right now until. i don't know how soon we're going to get back to barbie woulda. that's the question all of

the putin is a living in government shelters with relatives you know asking the prime minister says hopefully in a few months but even then the rebuilding could take years john home and how does it. well the atlantic hurricane season may be at its peak right now but there are some pretty nasty and active looking storm systems on the other side of the world right now here are the details meteorologists evident folks of. hurricanes in the atlantic of course but they're typhoons on the other side of the world same thing just a different i have a look at the satellite picture and you can see these nasty systems that we do have we've got this massive cloud swirling away making its way towards the announced in the south china sea and then there are the eye on the storm of the one that's very close to taiwan thankfully it's moving away from taiwan thankfully it's also moving away from that east coast of china so we're not going to see those scenes of devastation that we saw on the other side of the world typhoon talim then that is

going to make its way up towards japan by around sunday supplier full system those is the catchcry force well just like i'm a was not quite as powerful as that a strong enough two hundred ten kilometers per hour on those winds gusting to two hundred sixty so capable of doing catastrophic damage thankfully as i said it's going to work weaken as it makes its way up towards the far south of japan but we are still looking at flooding rains and those winds will still be powerful enough damage is likely across parts of southern japan through the latter part of the weekend for the south we come back to were typhoon book syrian that's making its way towards vietnam as you can see a little weak of this one hundred twenty kilometers per hour and it's making its way further west was moving into west central parts of vietnam over the next few days the winds will die down quickly but there will be flooding rains here adrian. of many things here with the news hour in al-jazeera still to come on the program staying put victims of last month's sierra leone mudslides refuse to move on it's

this would be collateral damage. that. might. be an overreaction. and this operation cost. clarity by contrast. it is good to have you with us a transfer going to here in doha with the news hour from al-jazeera the top stories . this hour at least twenty six people have been killed in an attack outside

a restaurant in southern iraq dozens more were injured in the in the car bomb and gun attack on the outskirts of. iraq's parliament has voted to remove the governor of kirkuk following a council meeting over plans to hold a referendum on turkish independence the iraqi government and iraq's neighbors are opposed to that referendum. and the us president donald trump has denied reports that he's agreed to a deal that stops the deportation of young undocumented immigrants the so-called dreamers earlier on thursday democrats said that they reached an agreement the undocumented migrants were safeguarded under a bamma administration policy but dhaka program which trump is scrapping. tens of thousands of people in sierra leone whose homes were destroyed in a landslide last month still waiting to be re house hundreds of people were killed in the mudslides on the outskirts of the capital freetown let's take you live now to freetown al-jazeera is nicholas hawke is there some months on nicholas what is

the situation in freetown. well the recovery situation that you had a month ago with with soldiers and residents going through the mudslide to recover body parts and belonging has seized the focus now is to try to reach the seven thousand five hundred people who are displaced and counts like this one right behind me here they're receiving food shelter and medicine medicine of course to ensure that this doesn't turn into a health emergency the fear is this there could be water borne diseases like cholera so so they're having medicine now a lot of the people i spoke to are still very much traumatized by what just happened you know freetown is a city in the hills there's no escaping this notion that there could be a landslide any time happening the world bank came bank team came over in freetown

just a couple of weeks ago and identified twenty nine areas that are at risk of landslides and flooding so right now the priority for the government is to really house the displaced and try to get vince people who are living in these very risk areas to move to other locations. i said and her husband were fast asleep when they heard the hill about them tumbled . her husband leapt out of bed and around for shelter leaving the rest of his family behind. i said who stayed caring for her children. hundreds died in this landslide the army has now told residents to leave this area saying it's too dangerous fearing another disaster. but i said to her husband tells his wife they need to stay put their life is here he says if they leave they will lose everything. if we leave will the government actually take care of her i'm the

only one working and supporting the family my husband depends on knowing he interrupts her he says i have a problem with my eyes i count toward this is my home and i want to stay here until i die. there are other families like them refusing to leave but seven thousand five hundred people have left some have lost their homes others fear the same thing would happen to theirs they live in government run makeshift camps supported by the un and aid agencies there so months ago before the end of the rainy season people here are receiving food shelter and medicine to prevent water borne diseases like cholera this is where most of the international aid money is going to camps like this one i said to her and her family don't want to come here they say this is a temporary solution to a long term problem. people here are growing impatient they've been promised new

homes. for now soldiers are busy setting up more tense. the world food program are no longer just distributing food but also cash to help people get back to work what they need now is not food but they need support to make sure that they able to recover to rebuild their lives. construction is underway to build affordable homes some thirty miles outside of freetown too far says i said to she spent her life savings building this place from here she runs a small restaurant bringing enough money to keep her family and husband happy staying she says is a risk worth taking at least for now. let's get more now on the story we told you about a little earlier the iraqi parliament vote to remove the governor of cook following a council meeting of the plans to hold a referendum on kurdish independence joining us now on the line is the governor of kirkuk. karim thank you for being with us what do you make of this decision to

remove you from your post. first. can make whatever decision they want to staying in my time like two. viewers to the prime minister does not have the power to ask your pardon it's because. this is according to the law that was passed to me like you part of me in two thousand and eight. but not with. this is. why is the government of the region. so determined to press on with this this contentious. vote on on september twenty fifth when they've been warned by all and sundry foreign minister the us not to do so. well. actually. at least that's what they think the time

is not good so they are not really against it. at least i haven't heard from anybody and i met. mr mcgurk at mit for my acting assistant secretary. and the other thing is. there is absolutely nothing that for people from expressing your opinion with regard to their future does not. an independent republic of kurdistan will be formed right on after that on the twenty sixth of september but. it's the will of the people to express their opinion and their will about what they want and then of course. it all depends how things go english usage. just like bridget is. so i don't see why. people are so much against it in major major hit like as if the whole middle east

is going to blow up which is not true turkey's foreign minister says that there will be consequences if this referendum goes ahead on september twenty fifth what do you make of that. well there will be consequences probably to. them also because the canonical relation between. turkey is great and there has been very good relationship between the two states in cooperation on a lot of issues including the gateway. to the gulf so. we are really not afraid of splits and we hope it's just rhetoric that always happens before major steps are taken as far as you're concerned. despite this vote in iraq's parliament to remove you you're not going anywhere yes staying well you can send your team on sunday and we'll see. ok in my office but. does

that do you have the legitimacy to carry on as governor now that you don't have the support of the national parliament the national parliament has absolutely zero. cook it's the governing council being elected by the people of good cook i have not been given confidence by the iraqi parliament to take it away from you this is really not too much different from. the present time trying to remove the governor of. new jersey for example or some place like then it's the same thing it's the same law that we have it applies to conclude the parliament has zero thirty decision on who's governor of can cook or who's the governing council cook or a governor many thanks indeed for being with us. as palestinian landowners prepared to take court action to halt the construction of

a new jewish settlement in the occupied west bank farmers a big event a temporary reprieve they're allowed back to land that was previously blocked by security forces. reports from ramallah. it's a bittersweet day mahmoud jibril him has finally been given permission to access his land but only under the watchful eye of an israeli soldier there are two outposts nearby and settlers have often had a rest by listing in farmers israel solution was to close access to large parts of land today legal owners meaning palestinians unless with prior coordination this means that people such as mahmoud can only work on their land a few days a year well that we usually plant wheat by early january but we're only given permission by the end of february the week did not come out strong and we can harvest in time and i'm gutted especially when i see the sutler's farming my land is here the settlers are on top of the hill and they're always working it pinches

me in the heart the brain family owned about eight square kilometers just thirty years ago about ninety percent was confiscated by israel and this ignited a state land this is on which plot of land and where is to be taken away from their legal owners is made by the civil administration basically the occupation headquarters here in the west bank now any land that is the not cultivated enough is confiscated under the pretext of security but in reality its allocated to settlers there now one hundred fifty seven jewish settlements and one hundred more of outposts both illegal under international law of idea is very simple is basically trying. to steam in communities who are going to make sure but there will be divided one one from each other. in order to rule the palestinian population. to. this area with no indication of the ibrahim's family

the blue areas on this map are due once declared a state land the green areas are ones that have been taken illegally even according to israeli law and allocated to settlers. including the latest settlement construction given to go ahead by israel's prime minister netanyahu from the rooftop mahmoud can see the bulldozers digging his land taken away without compensation land grabs and settlement building are demain stumbling blocks to the peace process in a sense the palestinian. place we pay the price. and . acts with impunity to continue its land theft and this is the structure of the palestinian state their brains now have a small amount of land left mostly out of their reach they own one thousand five hundred olive trees soon the food will be ripe but mahmoud doesn't know if he will
