>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ >> welcome to the news hour. i'm here with the world's top stories on al jazeera. kiev's ultimatums to the pro-russian activists in eastern ukraine. the man who would be president for the third biggest democracy. netenyahu tells ministers to stop high-level talks with palestinians. and virtual campaigning, the new

frontier in indian elections. hello, i'm robin adams with all of the latest sports including meet the come-back kings, chelsea reaches the semifinals of the champions league. i'll have all of the details later for you. ♪ ukraine's interior minister has issued a 48-hour deadline to pro-russian activists occupying state buildings in the east. he warned they must join talks to find a political solution or face force. >> translator: i am sure that both political and force options are available, but it seems like another option will be taken up, which is something in between. for those who want dialogue, we propose talks and a political solution. for the minority who want conflict, they will get a forceful answer from the

ukrainian authorities. >> pro-russian demonstrators continue to occupy government buildings in ukraine. activists remain in control of the city's security building. some demonstrators say they are still armed and have erected barricades outside. and in the city of donetsk they have declared a people's republic. we have correspondent in russia and ukraine. peter sharp standing by for us in russia, but first let's go to kim in donetsk. does it look like this will be resolved through talks then? >> i think there are some fairly hurries negotiation happening right now. the governor is holding a press conference. we have also seen a very powerful map, the richest man in

ukraine he is in town as well, and there has been some movement, we have just seen protesters carrying out government documents from the building they are occupying here. clearly there is some movement going on there. they are telling us because they don't want state workers to lose their jobs. but the people here want a referendum, a vote on whether this part of eastern ukraine should join russia. there has been some negotiations in another area as well. pro-russian protesters have just released 60 prisoners as well. people here are very much prepared for any eventuality. they have molotov cocktails, but tensions are sort of lowering behind the barricades. there is still the possibility

of government forces moving in. >> all right. let's continue this conversation with peter sharp. russia has a lot of troops on the border of ukraine. any indication what it might do with those troops if the ukrainian forces use force against protesters in the east? >> russia made it very clear yesterday, in a direct message to kiev, it said do not even think of moving reinforcements down to the east, and russia has made it very, very clear since the annexation of crimea that it reserved the right to move militarily in defense of the russian-speaking community in southern and eastern ukraine, and i think if there was fighting and there were serious casualties russia would find it very, very difficult not to move

in, not to move those troops on the border. they had 40,000 troops on the border for weeks now. they would be finding it very difficult to not go to the aid of what many see as their countrymen especially if there were calls for help from the opportunity. and what about nato and the u.s., well, ukraine is not a member of nato. i think both nato and the u.s. would be sitting on their hands. they already said they would have no intention of putting up military force to try to resolve this crisis. >> peter we now have the west pointing the finger at russia over protests in ukraine. it makes you wonder what are the chances of the four-party talks achieving something? >> well at least russia has agreed to take part in the talks only 24 hours ago, it was demanding to see an agenda of

the meeting, but russia will take part, and i think we know basically what they will be suggesting, because about ten days ago, the foreign ministry put out a document, a negotiating document, which summed up some of the points that russia will be making at the meeting, and i think these include the formation of a more decentralized government as part of a constitutional reform, giving the regions -- the regions in the east, with the russian speaking communities more autonomy, protecting the rights of the russian language, which is very important, and also key to the whole thing is declaring that ukraine is basically an independent state now. a non-aligned state. it would be out of the grass for both russia and nato. so those are some of the discussion items.

>> all right. peter sharpe live for frus moscow. the world's biggest democracy has been voting in elections. voting is take place, for national, regional, and pra venn shall parliaments. some 200,000 candidates from 12 political parties. more than a third of indonesias will registered to vote for the first time. the presidential candidates must be a supported by a party or colotion that won at least 25% of the votes or 20% of seats in parliament. >> reporter: voting day in the world's third largest democracy and the focus is on this man.

the governor in july he'll be the presidential candidate for the nearbyian democratic party of struggle, success at this poll will increase his chances of winning that vote. >> translator: i hope will election will be held honestly, fairly, so everyone can exercise their right to vote according to their will. >> more than 186 million registered votes and nearly 550,000 polling stations, indonesia's elections are one of the largest and most complicated in the world. there has v been three free elections, but the mood is not that festive this time around. >> some have gotten turned off by the process. some of them have not seen improvements, but they are used to voting, they are used to these processes so it's just not

as fresh as knew as it used to be. >> reporter: more than 60 million are voting for the first time. but some choose not to. >> translator: i'm disappointed. there has not been the changes promised. poor people are still poor. >> reporter: many people have lost faith in their politicians, but despite a poor turnout, people here will vote and vote for change. this woman voted for his party. >> translator: although he has been a governor for less than two years, we have seen a lot of real change. it's clear for everyone to see. >> reporter: official results will be announced early next month. on july 9th, indonesias will vote for the new president. the next few months he will have to build a coalition with other

parties to be nominated for the presidential elections. let's get more on the vote now. we're joined by paul rowland who is an independent consult act on democratic governments. good to have you with us. how much of a process is this going to be to get a presidential nomination as was hoped? >> well, it looks very much like the party that is supporting him and his party pdip is going to have very close to the 20% seat threshold or might be over that and we'll be able to nominate him in may once the formal results for the legislative elections are announced. >> it does look like so far it is going to be a rather

fragmented parliament doesn't it? is this going to get a lot more complicated? >> remember this is a presidential system in indonesia, to the president is elected separately from the legislature. the legislature has always had a large number of parties in it, so that's not something new, and it operates on consensus, to legislating here is a complicated process, but the president does have a number of powers that can be used, executive powers that can be used to improve administration and -- and make improvements to governance. >> all right. we have also got an interesting turn in developments when it comes to support for islamic marties. that seems to have risen. why? what is behind that? >> i don't think it has risen a great deal. i think it has -- has surprised many people by -- by sustaining itself. i don't think that the issue

here is whether there are islamic parties or non-islamic parties. i think there's a great deal of hope among voters that they will get something different this time. and i think they are looking for that in the presidential election. it's been a very interesting result to the legislator election. bear in mind the official results won't be released for a month. but if we do have ten parties in the legislature it will be an interesting few months. and a lot of people will spending a lot of time breaking down what happens in this election. >> i'm glad you mentioned that. if you look at some of the research it seems that a lot of

indonesians think there is a lot of corruption, and parliament seems to be viewed and corrupt. is democracy working? >> listen, indonesia is the third largest democracy in the world. i think they deserve a lot of credit for what it has achieved so far. what i do see is asking for a higher standard of governance from their -- their politicians, and i'm seeing the emergence of more demand-driven politics in indonesia. people asking for better services from their government, looking at understanding they now pay taxes and are k looking to get something back for their taxes from their government, and this is a very, very interesting time in indonesia. >> all right. thanks so much paul roland there. now a bomb attack in

the operation is a multinational effort. the australian government has taken the lead and is coordinating the effort. but the sheer size of their task is daunthing. a search area of more than 75,000 square kilometers of ocean in depths of up to 4,000 meters, and the flight recorders are not much bigger than a large shoou box. but the stralance are convinced they are looking in the right place, and the signals they are hearing are from flight recorders. olympic athlete oscar pistorius has told the south african court he didn't intend to kill his girlfriend. >> i had her head -- i had her head on my -- on my left shoulder and i could -- i could feel the blood was running down on me. >> he made the statement as state prosecutors started their

process? is it simply grinding to a halt? >> that is certainly the way it looks. both sides are still talking, but this language doesn't help the situation, and let's think back when these talks all started to fall apart as the prisoners aren't we leased, the palestinians went to the un signing 15 international treaties, and since then there has been a lot of muscle flexing if you will from both sides, nothing that really directly impacts on the ground, but certainly the message coming from both sides isn't something that is conducive to a positive step forward. these kind of announcements aren't helpful. we know the palestinian president is at the arab league. we heard from the foreign minister there, the moroccans

saying they have their support, but there is no point in extending these talks if it doesn't lead to the end of the occupation. so certainly a very difficult time. >> thank you stephanie. aid agencies in the salomon eye lands are struggling to deal with people left homeless after flash floods. many thousands of people are still unable to return to their homes. andrew thomas has more from the capitol of the salomon eye lands. >> reporter: ordinarily this is a school, but right now it is the biggest evacuation center for people who have lost their homes. about 2,000 people living here about 40 sleeping in each classroom. it is not just people who have lost their homes, people who's homes have been badly damaged and are concerned that landslides might take them out. pretty poor conditions here,
