this is the only ford available in this household. that sank. six years up to the death of gadhafi. thanks. i'll just zero the world travels to libya. to hear from some of those who fought his regime and contributed to his downfall. the battle of misrata at this time on al-jazeera what. the people. will. australian deputy prime minister barnaby joyce is disqualified from parliament for

holding jule citizenship. block so rahman this is ours there are a lot of my headquarters here in doha are coming up in the next thirty minutes the un blames the syrian government for a chemical attack that killed more than eighty people in april. also violence miles kenya's disputed election at least three people were killed during clashes with the police. plus the us releases some of the classified documents linked to the assassination of president john f. kennedy. welcome to the program the australian high court has ruled that deputy prime minister barnaby joyce was wrongly elected for holding jule citizenship for other politicians have also been removed from parliament for holding jule citizenship

there will now be a by election for deputy prime minister joyce's seat the ruling means that prime minister malcolm turnbull's government has lost its one seat majority under thomas joins us now from sydney in terms of australia's political history a new page is not only turned but it's being rewritten. absolutely well this was an obscure technical clause in australia's constitution which very few paid much attention to until a couple of months ago when one m.p. from the greens party revealed that he had found out that he was a new zealand citizen and therefore ineligible to stand upon he felt he needed to stand down but that then started a cascade of other people looking into other m.p.'s backgrounds and all up seven m.p.'s found that they had question marks over their jewel nationality status now barnaby joyce is the big name his father was born in new zealand he himself was born in australia he always considered himself purely australian but under new

zealand citizenship laws he was in fact entitle to new zealand citizenship he said he didn't know so how was he supposed to do anything about it the high court disagreed it felt that he should have investigated what he cursed at the parliament he hadn't he didn't he hadn't renounce his views even citizenship and therefore he was technically and you zealand as well as in australia when elected because they're not eligible to sit in parliament this matters because australia's government has a majority in the lower house of just one seat and when you take barnaby joyce out of that parliament as has now happened the government loses that one seat majority it's now teetering will now be a byelection a special election just in the same the valley the joys indeed hold and if you were to lose that by election australia's government would fall so while the most of these m.p.'s the big picture implications aren't that big of barnaby joyce they are very big indeed well of course so while we talk about the potential for by

elections andrew barnaby joyce in his position of influence and power has also made some very important decisions and they will be questioned if he was in syria ineligible to be a parliamentarian. so that is exactly right this likens a huge legal can of worms because barnaby joyce has been not only australia's deputy prime minister but also a. minister in the government making decisions that affect australia and the region beyond that big decisions if he was ineligible to be an m.p. then by obvious default he was ineligible to be a minister as well and that throws into question all the decisions that he has made as a minister certainly those since there was a question mark over his eligibility a couple of months back so those decisions you would think are very very precarious right now but even going back to the election which was of july before last was when he was elected every decision he has made since then is potentially now up in the air so now we prostrate the in politics that this matter but the policy of well

all the decisions that has been have been made australian politics is never dull but this is a twist extreme even by this country standards and it will be coming back to you throughout the day andrea is certainly as we get more comments from the government and those involved thank you now report by u.n. war crimes investigators has blamed the assad government in syria for a major chemical weapons attack in april more than eighty people including children were killed when the nerve agent sarin was dropped on the rebel held town of cards should kuhn almost six hundred were injured the images of the moments after the strike sparked international outrage over the following days the u.s. bombed the syrian government base in response syria has repeatedly denied any responsibility for the attack the united nations and the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons set up a joint investigation commission to find out who conducted the attacks today's report is the culmination of this stage of their work now our correspondent mike

hanna has more from the united nations. well the joint investigative commission or jim as it is known has presented a thirty three page report to the u.n. security council in a says that it's received a number of allegations of the use of chemical weapons within the war in syria over the last few months it focuses though on two specific attacks the one that haunch a coon it finds that the syrian government must be held responsible for that attack it admits that it did not send its fact finding team to the actual scene of the attack however two satellite imagery interviews with witnesses cell phone footage and importantly it found that the precursor used in the explosive that disperse the siren was identical to the precursor that had been stored by the syrian army when it was tested before the civil civil war began so it found that the syrian government must be held accountable it looked into the syrian claim that aircraft

had dropped bombs on a warehouse where rebels had stored a chemical weapon but found that that particular theory could not be upheld and found incontrovertibly it says that the syrian government was responsible for that sarin gas attack the other incident it looked at was in omaha in september last year where jim found that i saw had used mortars to disperse mustard at a village and at least two people were killed in that particular attack now the mandate for jerm is due to be renewed by mid november earlier this week the u.s. brought a resolution asking that its mandate be renewed before its report russia vetoed that particular resolution what we'll be hearing over the next few days and weeks is discussion between russia and other members of the security council as to whether this report by jim can be seen as

a fair unbiased and honest it will be. russia's reaction to this which will determine whether or not it withholds its veto when the mandate for jim comes up for renewal within the next few weeks. while staying with syria meanwhile the u.n. envoy for syria says he wants to accelerate talks between the sides involved in the conflict now the next round of talks are due to begin in geneva in late november stuff and i'm a store says the focus should be on drafting a new constitution but we need to get the parties into real negotiation over i'd them where they refilm prospect that it could begin to narrow the gaps and really negotiate. applying the logic my considered assessment and the media. if they're for around eight and i would like to ask your support on this we should see we can move some aspects of the agenda concretely forward yet far beyond

just exploration any don't negotiate in the east african three people have been shot dead during the repeated presidential election in kenya voting was postponed at least four counties where violence broke out between demonstrators and police mohammed atta reporter from nairobi. of the months of political uncertainty it's back to the ballot for the people of kenya falls days paul is already done all the most contested elections and can just history now promising to be the most good morning yes they need to get does that we have survived that we have seen people being intimidated in some parts of the country already is not a very good thing and downs of transparency you can see video of the process for those groups because. i mean i'm a free atmosphere in which voters could be able to. and franchise themselves as far as wanting what is concerned. vaulting incubate or kenya sludge islam was

into our communities. many people are disappointed the president has stopped short of declaring this a national emergency had that occurred this would have provided the necessary federal funding that states say they need in order to address this crisis instead by calling this a public health emergency what this will do is in essence redirect existing funds something that many critics say stopped short of the president's promise not only on the campaign trail but also as president still many acknowledge this is an important first step one they hope will push the u.s. congress to take measures even further. well still ahead here on al-jazeera an exclusive report about alleged torture methods used in secret prisons in yemen by soldiers from the united arab emirates. plus u.s. bound travelers face long queues of new security measures imposed straight after
