hours after the government declares a state of emergency. israeli forces kill a palestinian man wanted for the shooting death of a settler plus oh. was not oh a battle some sacrificed everything for how britain is marking a hundred years since women won the right to vote. a lot of stock markets around the world have been plunging this huge day asian markets have crumbled as investors took their lead from a huge selloff on wall street the dow jones dropped more than a thousand points on monday or more than four and a half percent that was the biggest fall in percentage terms since august twentieth eleven in response japan's benchmark nikkei closed down four point seven three percent fall into its lowest number since october last year hong kong's benchmark
11:02 am
hang saying lost almost five percent in its morning session putting it on track for its biggest drop since two thousand and fifteen. china correspondent adrian brown has more details from beijing well the markets here in asia really took the lead from wall street the markets in chan zen and shanghai were both down around about two percent in morning trading hong kong did a lot worse though down by more than five percent the reason for that is that in hong kong a lot of international companies trade on that index and a lot of those companies are exposed to the united states whereas companies here the traders on the markets in shanghai and then tend to be domestic companies that don't trade internationally we haven't seen the falls that we saw of course in two thousand and fifteen when the markets here in china plunged by between five and seven percent on that occasion we did see panic we did see anger and we did see
11:03 am
government intervention now chinese people have very few places to invest their money it's either property or shares and neither have been doing particularly well in recent months but overall chinese people seem to feel their economy is doing ok that's what a columnist tell you in state controlled media and there is a sense that perhaps g.d.p. is in fact a little bit higher than the government been hoping for and we'll get confirmation of what china's g.d.p. forecast will be in the year ahead when china's parliament the national people's congress convenes in just a few weeks' time a chinese leaders will be hoping that the market volatility we're seeing right now will be over by then a severe attack a sheet as a professor of management at the university of she's a walker he says the falls in asia are bad but far from catastrophic. well actually in japan what we're seeing is obviously reaction to other markets in the us and of
11:04 am
course in europe and with the excel aeration of the yen obviously there's been a sell off the japanese exports could been leading the market so there is negativity but at the same time people were expecting this correction to take place so i don't think at this moment there is a crisis feeling that is amongst the japanese investors at this moment i don't think it's going to prolong or it's going to be a serious previous crash is the reason for it being is that this is back to very good earnings in the states europe and in japan so from that point of view we can see that it's not as bubbly as it was in the past but that said the problem here is if this prolongs and if we see a downturn in the united states and europe obviously what will happen is that there will be a lot of money flowing in safe haven money into the yen which basically accelerates again and obviously that would result in a very bad earnings forecast for japanese exports that would be a very big negative scenario for the japanese authorities. now an opposition leader and two supreme court judges in the mold these have been arrested for president my
11:05 am
moon are you who has died himself or the opposition was detained at his home or the chief justice and a judge were also arrested the president has declared a fifteen day state of emergency and the military is in charge of the parliament saladin javid has more. just hours after the state of emergency was declared in the island nation of maldives this board carries a prominent opposition leader to the country's main jail on a remote island at the. moment of the un was arrested on charges of bribery which the opposition says this politically motivated. his family released a video earlier in which he urged his supporters not to lose hope. in this police came to arrest me i'm going with them i don't even know why they are arresting me i've done nothing wrong or unlawful i urge the people to be strong and stand with us we will win. with arrested but two judges for the deepening the
11:06 am
political crisis. it all began on thursday when the supreme court called for the retrial of nine opposition politicians including exiled former president mohamed nasheed just also reinstated twelve m.p.'s who had lost their seats for supporting the opposition but president of the yemeni refused to comply with the ruling and celebrations turned into protests. you mean also declared a fifteen day state of emergency and ordered the military to secure the parliament building for an indefinite period. by me and. and this is. in addition to the two judges police raided the house of the administrative head of the supreme court the court says police didn't have enough evidence to arrest the judicial executive president who happens to be the half
11:07 am
brother of the arrested little came to power in two thousand and thirteen that was a year after moldavian police and army overthrew president mohamed nasheed but in a shaky democracy president i mean has also faced similar allegations of becoming authoritarian and being corrupt yet the supreme court was expected to do favorably on a petition to impeach you i mean opposition leaders allege the president's loyalists made it clear that they would not comply with such a verdict and launched a crackdown. for now the country best known for its tranquil beaches is struggling to deal with yet another round of political turmoil some of the job of their origin aid one hundred is a journalist at all these independent and online news website he joins us now via skype from the capital mali thanks for being with us now what what's behind all of these arrests at this point and why in particular does the president arrested his his half brother the former president by moon. we were
11:08 am
told by lawyers that it's not just against president owner of. a friend of his and you mean is that. at him going to overthrow the lawful gun country by bribing lawmakers into something that was you know these are the same charges that was that will they. turn off i smile when is. it to go is to why what is going on is going on or night i think it's very clear from the people that i've talked to be it took and what legal and political experts will have to explain to me that what they have seen. the suspension of judiciary the suspension of them and the execution taking control of the security force is an attempt at present time to . sustain that kind of encounter and by using elements within the security force to
11:09 am
take over the powers and how a people in the middle of the viewing all of a something would you assess the climate in the country right now. i think there's a lot of uncertainty going on because some of the opposition states as a state as well the so it's been expended nasheed said that he wanted to send an envoy alone with military troops to free focused and. chief justice and the justice of supreme court. looking at the daily goings on i think it's. very you know most people are taking their kids to school people are going. through there's no particular. streets or anything like that movement is possible but whole chunks of the island
11:10 am
especially those around in the supreme court the press. and so serious and the important garment of this is accessible. and the former president nasheed has called for in divine intervention by india is that is that a possibility and is that the right thing to do. i think reception to or to do. a lot of people who has seen what's going on and how i mean it's taken for months or three and the parliament. in this style instead. has been achieved is justified in doing so at the center and there's a lot of people on the other side who think you can even if that's the case. a call to bring in a story in troops is not the way to do it. talking about. john abraham a good to speak with. the israeli army says it has
11:11 am
killed a palestinian man who was wanted over the death of a settler last month the army shot dead twenty one year old. jett out in janine in the occupied west bank was accused of killing rabbi and us he'll share in an illegal israeli outpost on january ninth two other palestinians were killed in grades three. in the crown has more from west jerusalem. the rights of place in the n.t. aus all the tuesday morning there were eyewitnesses are telling us that at least seventy jeeps went in and two bulldozers into the village of yellow now that's fairly typical heart operation by the israeli army like this but then there was live fire this confusion as to the exact moment of the off when it was actually killed now the israeli security agencies have confirmed his death to the palestinians now also we're hearing that several palestinians have been injured as
11:12 am
a result of gas and that there are still within the area israeli forces that are currently with zurich but there are ongoing clashes taking place between the palestinians but this is a village an area engineered that's actually been under constant raids since the settler rabbi was killed on january ninth almost every night raids have been taking place on january seventeenth there was a raid that took place in a bogeyman now in but again they actually demolished palestinians house to try and get to this and then the israeli army announced that they killed after gerard but that was a case of mistaken identity now so far all those two palestinians that have been and out of state of majid are and this man on january seventeenth their bodies haven't been given to the palestinians the israeli army said that they have informed the palestinians of. death this is all very controversial here in israel and in palestine in israel there was the hard right to
11:13 am
the absolutely wanted revenge they wanted afterwards or all killed they were putting pressure on promise that benjamin you know hope to make an operation to do exactly that but also what the prime minister did was legalize the outpost that the rabbi came from he said this was the any way of protecting this once illegal outposts now clearly all of these outposts and settlements in the occupied west bank are illegal under. that's a lot but now i have it because that's the outpost is actually a settlement is legal under israeli law once again very very controversial when it comes to any kind of use force this is going to happen any kind of future palestinian state now like i say the palestinians are waiting for the bodies to be handed over to them or funerals to be able to take place to have a quick break now but when we come back. what do people of all countries see they
11:14 am
see a council they can agree to take action an escalating war of words between the u.s. and russia over alleged chemical attacks in syria. from dusky sunset so it's proving something. to summarize the talking asian metropolis. hello there we're seeing some heavy snow over moscow recently we've seen so much snow that it's actually brought down over two thousand trees and that in turn has brought down some power lines as well and it's also caused a fair amount a disruption now on the ground there around fifty centimeters of snow that's just lying there at the moment now fortunately it looks like the worst is over the system responsible for all that wintry weather it's gradually pulling away towards the northeast but behind it is going to tell a good deal cooler so the maximum temperature on tuesday we're just looking at minus ten so very cold day hair still the end of the snow over europe though still
11:15 am
for the southwestern parts there this sick elation here has gradually edging its way across parts of france and across the alps as well still more wintry weather out of that and further south where it's a little bit too mild to see snow we'll be seeing heavy rain the work its way across italy and eventually across the other side of the adriatic as well now some of the unsettled weather over europe has also been spilling into the northern parts of africa and we still got some showers over there as we head through the next. today there are also seeing some real the shop outbreaks of rape of a part of our area. over the mountains of course very cultist so we're expecting some of that snow robots will get to around twelve degrees. the weather sponsored by qatar race. the scene for us where they're on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is almost possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there
11:16 am
are people that are choosing between buying medication and eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and she's close to the story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. and again this is actually a reminder of our top stories this stock markets around the world been plunging this tuesday asian markets crumbled as investors took their lead from a huge selloff on wall street. a political crisis in the mold is deepening after the arrest of an opposition leader and cream court judges that's
11:17 am
just hours after a state of emergency was declared. the army says it has killed palestinian. in the occupied west bank city of janine was wanted over the death of a settler last month. some breaking news to tell you about now out of hong kong where pro-democracy activists are to walk free after an appeal victory in court sarah. has the latest on that from hong kong syrup. yes of the verdict has just been delivered in the final court of appeal and it's good news for the likes of joshua wong one thing more and alex chalo these are the three student leaders who were behind the occupy hong kong movement their appeal have all appeals have been unanimously allowed so that basically means that they're free from today from the final court of appeal which is behind me so it's good news
11:18 am
for the pro-democracy movement on arrival on the y. and i had expected to go over there they're preparing to go back behind bars to finish the rest of their jail time but the other judges have today decided the final court of appeal that there while they did while they were involved in various acts of violence in this particular incident where they stormed the course the government full court in the lives of counsel their appeal to lessen or drop the jail terms which i considered harsh has been allowed so what next for these men and approach the whole pro-democracy movement the day of late. or certainly this will with the rise the spirits within the pro-democracy movement we have a by election here next month the ninth in law who is one of the student leaders who has been in court today it was for his seat because he was to swallow disqualified by the government for his role in the occupied hong kong move in the way he delivered his when he was sworn in to the lives of council so he'll be back
11:19 am
on the campaign trial joshua one will also be allowed to campaign for their political group called them a sister so this particular verdict has been closely scrutinized by not only the media in hong kong it's also been sort of watched closely by the international media and the pro-democracy supporters to see which why this movement can go next and i had said on their way in that the decision today will have implications for future generations to come in hong kong and what pro-democracy means. and how's the government in the chinese mainland likely to react to this given the dion going tensions between beijing and hong kong. of course that night out there of course that the government china has been watching this and will be scrutinizing this decision and i can't say it goes in their favor they the suggestion has been raised by the pro-democracy groups that they believe that beijing has made it there and their campaign to remove. pro-democracy members who
11:20 am
stand a ledge hope they've had some success with had for at least four pro-democracy lawmakers have been removed and so no doubt will everyone now will now be watching to see what the next step is coming out of beijing. and the world for the moment sarah clarke live for us there in hong kong thank you our firefighters in iran are battling a blaze inside the ministry of energy building in the capital tehran local media saying the blaze broke out on monday in the basement people in the vicinity of the fire have been forced to leave. government forces and opposition groups in south sudan are still recruiting child soldiers that's despite a number of agreements to stop that's according to human rights watch which says children as young as thirteen are being abducted detained and forced to fight since the violence began in two thousand and thirteen the warning the warring sides have

11:22 am
a stab us in accountability for chemical weapons use we have to seriously ask ourselves why we are here russia which is used its veto to avoid action on this issue was strongly criticized by ambassador hailey and by her french and british colleagues it's ambassador vaseline a benzema hit back the rigid annoying statements by these representatives as always contain very little truth mixed with mountains of lies and will do the. where is the presumption of innocence prior to any investigation you are accusing the so-called regime quote unquote. with that point here appeared to ignore clear facts in twenty fifteen the un security council unanimously decided to create the joint investigative mechanism or jim to work out exactly who was guilty of chemical weapons use it concluded that in four cases the assad government was responsible
11:23 am
for using chemical weapons soon afterwards russia used its veto to stop the renewal of the gym leaving the security council powerless does it just not highlight the importance of the security council i think you are very right the fact that these the use of chemical weapons continues time and again in syria is a challenge to the very authority of the security council the security council continues to talk but on this issue is unable to act the continuing sporadic chemical attacks underlining its weakness and undermining the international consensus against the use of some of the world's most hideous weapons james ways out zero of the united nations syria's government has deployed new anti aircraft missiles to the front lines in aleppo and italy where it is battling rebel fighters here has seen an escalation in fighting an aerial bombing with hundreds of
