prime minister viktor orban declares victory in parliamentary elections as preliminary results show his anti immigrant policy on trying to win a commanding majority. this is live from london coming up claims all of a chemical attack on syria president trump warns there will be a big price to pay. the nigerian army says it's rescued one hundred forty nine hostages held by boko haram plus. a protest by members of pakistan's pashtun community they say they are being targeted by security forces.

so in the last half an hour hunger and prime minister viktor orban has declared victory in the country's parliamentary elections with most of the votes counted preliminary results show that all bands for those party as one forty nine point five percent of the vote is nearest a rival is the leader of the job a party. with twenty percent in the socialist party leader quarter sean is a further back with eleven point nine percent obama has just addressed a crowd of his supporters in the capital budapest where he referring to his policy of protecting hungary's borders. this was a big fight a life changing when we created an opportunity for us to protect hungary the country hasn't yet reached the point where we want to be but we are on the way on the boat we selected together we will walk on the road i thank all of you for this . speech across one who's been following events this evening in budapest jenner

what's your assessment of how this is turned out. well we still wish we're still not quite yet to the final result make that confirms a two thirds majority win but it does rather look like it's heading in that direction and really for viktor orban you heard him speaking there this is the fruition now of a particularly nasty campaign run by his feet as party here in the last month two months in hungary that has basically been a single issue campaign based on the specter of the invading hoards of muslim refugees being held back by a fence that he's built on the southern border he paints himself as the sort of savior of hungary from the refugees the enemies here not just the refugees but the controlling power center of brussels threatening all demanding that hungary open its borders and and even the billionaire george george soros as a man painted as a man who would flood this country with millions of refugees every year it has been

a virtually hate based campaign it has verged on anti semitism certainly xenophobia there have been some who had hoped that the message of refugees was going stale that it wouldn't find fertile ground again it clearly has there's been little talk about anything of any domestic interest widespread allegations of corruption a crumbling health care system an education people his few days grassroots supporters indeed he may have even increased his support this time around seem still fixated on this idea of hungary a fortress white christian largely fortress under siege by invading muslim hordes in x. it's an extraordinary thing an extraordinary result for victory. there was some thought that a high turnout may be may favor opposition parties but in the event. yes i think they'll be a lot of bitterly disappointed liberal left wing opposition activists who as you

say had seen those rising numbers of turnout during the course of the day and hoped that that meant that they'd managed to get large numbers of left wing opposition voters to the polling booths instead it rather looks like the high turnout was in rural areas not the urban city areas and the baptists are not may have favored possibly equally feeders and the now cemented main opposition party don't forget that is a party called your pick it is a formally until very recently staunchly far right party anti immigrant with neo nazi roots this is now the main opposition in hungary so the era of sort of populist staunchly rightwing nationalism xenophobia as i said in this country is very far from over for a journey thanks very much live journal reporting there from budapest let's take this on still further we can join it it is good to foreign policy analyst at the political capital which is a budapest based think tank joins us live from there welcome to the program good to

see. tell us what your assessment is of how things have turned out and whether or not you think hungary's prime minister has the two thirds majority that he wants thank you very much for having me and good evening. buffalo remarks are sparks or what could be the contributing factor this is one slightly surreal oh yes they have the governing party was basically engineered by the fact that c.b.s. had a very unified watch of a behind it's not a very long time why the opposition is fragmented as we have seen these the opposition was could not coordinate effectively as it was expected a lot of this before that was passed on that was issued over spread between rumors fire days. and what is our assessment they will basically feel arthur asked to continue with their policies that they have been doing in the last couple of hears which means that these for next years will mean the four more years of the liberal

regime fielding for sure it is going it's going to further restrict n.g.o.s and critical of the government and government spokesperson also called him this tonight so he has been already announced before we have known about it but it has been it has been emphasized by the spokesperson not only in the gaza strip or the two thirds majority that's been talked about how important is it for him does it really make that much difference whether or not he wins a two thirds majority explain that for us if you would. not not necessarily i mean he the government is able to restrict and you know there are typical of the government or tries to conquer even larger part of the independent media to third metro d.c. but when it comes to the judiciary for instance two thirds majority will be quite useful for the government in order to restrict the judiciary as well. if you have a look at the region that has been sealed up in the last couple of years let's call

it then you liberal hybrid regimes where free on actions that have those that have seen but that never been does not guarantee or at least try to restrict fundamental and political and civic rights it's about the reality of the system of checks and balances and restricting the whole the horizontal accountability and strengthening corruption so what we have seen is that their engine does not completely these poll . numbers i think the institutions and the rule of law but they try to strive to empty them in content and restrict their operation and our expectation is what i would say we are closer and about these stop sort of little is about to. do in the next couple of months what's the position as far as the rest of europe is concerned and hungry relationship with the e.u. . well what we have seen is that. most likely the open government is about to counting you the same destructive campaign but not

on the on the level hope if not it but also try to ripple us europeanization and their mind that you can use your insurance while at the same time being one of their main and biggest beneficiary of the funds so in contrast to our best and you're the only girl is there are about would like to turn the european union thought works politics that is on preserving religious and national identification in which societies are based on ethnically genius christian traditional values and given that this government has became one of the strongest reference point of the european far right by the us i think this victory is also a very strong message for those parties who are all around you know the right that it will have to leave it there do appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much indeed that is a good foreign policy analyst at the political capital. the

us president donald trump has attacked syria russia and iran are very sort of suspected chemical attack on a rebel held there are saying that will be a big price to pay the syrian government to dismiss reports as fabrication united nations has demanded an urgent security council meeting on monday to discuss the alleged attack that's actually going to the latest. entire families babies children adults dead the people who remained in dumas thought they could shelter from the air strikes in the basements of building instead witnesses say they suffocated from a suspected chemical attack i saw how not to look at there that can do more with chemicals many children have been killed in tents airstrikes by the syrian government and its allies began on saturday. when this is report a barrel bomb with some sort of gas being dropped we were trying to hide. and show

those but when the city was hit but looks ago. there was no place to hurt people became sort of fights scared on prison rescuers say they're struggling to get to the survivors and retrieve the bodies of the dead because of a strong chlorine like smell they don't have the protective gear they need the health care system in duma has been decimated. unfortunately would be limited number of medical stuff right now it's to go to. the sometimes and the treatment and shoot people and we've seen people have seen people should dine with them to get it's reported that ambulances and a hospital were hit by air strikes and the red crescent can no longer operate leaving a small team of medical professionals with scarce supplies to tend to the injured the familiar cycle of recriminations denials and calls for action has begun using

language heard after last year's confirmed chemical attack in qana coom which killed more than eighty people the syrians and the russians called the allegations farcical and staged the russian's offer to send their own experts to investigate and disprove the claims the united states called for an immediate end to the attacks and for the international community to respond. it said russia was betraying its commitment to the un and the chemical weapons convention people say life in dumas already difficult after weeks of intense fighting has become even more miserable. local officials say the russians negotiated a deal with the remaining rebel group in dumas jaish islam buses began arriving to evacuate the fighters their families and anyone else who wanted to leave with recent days by the syrian forces in the strategic town on the outskirts of damascus

jason ellis had limited options left natasha going to. amman meanwhile the first branch of rebel fighters are leaving duma a bus carrying dozens of army of islam soldiers and their families has driven out of the city as part of the agreement hundreds of hostages in prisoners of war also being freed they're believed to be locals loyal to the syrian regime. the nigerian army says it's rescued one hundred forty nine hostages all women and children held by boko haram in borno state in the northeast of the country the women and children were being held in the village of yeti muddy coulda rescued people were not among the kidnapped schoolgirls and should book and she who are still missing i would address has the details from beijing. the army said those rescue are residents of e.m.i. to quote a village in northeastern nigeria who was held captive by boko haram but they didn't know say for how long they've been held captive by the fighters the army

said eight followed and the rescue followed an operation that they conducted on saturday where they encountered bokhara fighters in the ensuing firefight they killed three of them and also captured five now these people have been taken to hospital and are being treated and later to be profiled by the nigerian army and nigerian or for two years now what we've seen over the last few months or so is the book white arms ability to continue to adopt its losses they've been changed out of most of the areas they have occupied but they are able to adopt in smaller groups to attack isolated and vulnerable communities recently with seen them launch during attacks on the capital coming to the outskirts of my degree which is a city that has been in the crosshairs for a very long time since the start of this insurgency the nigerian army said and the nigerian government confirmed that the book was around fighters have been sort of

degraded but what we've seen over the last one year or so is the strategy by blackwater to launch several types of operations suicide bombings during attacks on military formations ice at such an isolated communities abductions and kidnappings in the northeast of nigeria in other words spoke out and is telling the nigerian society that we are still very much on. so come on the program. the controversy continues in brazil is former president lula da silva begin serving a prison sentence for corruption. and plastic pollution on the yangtze river cleanup efforts on one of the world's worst environmental blogs. hello there it's mostly settled across many parts of australia at the moment

there's plenty of sunshine around there is a bit more cloud in the south though that's giving us a bit of grey weather and a bit of damp weather over parts of tasmania and that's gradually edgy its way towards the east might just see a little bit more still clinging on there for monday but for the west is where we see another weather system that's bringing us more cloud maybe the odd shower to perth there monday but it should be a bit dry as we had to choose day for tuesday for the east still staying hot for us in adelaide a maximum temperature of thirty three degrees now as we head across towards new zealand being the south island where we've seen lots of cloud recently and a few outbreaks of rain still quite unsettled here as we head through the day on monday and that's gradually trying to push its way towards the north so it's all changing for us for tuesday the temperatures really dropping away christchurch no high of an eight force in oakland will have a rather wet and windy day with a maximum temperature of nineteen if we add up towards the northern parts of asia here we've got a fair amount of cloud around parts of honshu that's giving us

a fair amount of wet weather as well particularly in the west but it's clearing away as we head into tuesday so tuesday does look far brighter for us instead for north korea is looking wetter and at times pretty windy as well. only benefit those people. so bad they see all the. witness documentaries that open your eyes. at this time on al-jazeera.

and again a reminder the top stories here on al-jazeera and hungary and prime minister viktor all ban has declared victory in the country's parliamentary elections with most of the vote counted preliminary results show that all bands an immigrant for the party has won a large majority in. the u.s. president donald trump says there will be a price to pay if syria russia and iran and found people behind the chemical attack in the seas rebel enclave of which killed dozens of people. and the first batch of rebel fighters and their families have left tubers part of a deal negotiated between the rebel the rebel group army of islam and russia as part of the agreement hundreds of hostages and prisoners of war also being free. now brazil's former president alluded to silva has started his twelve year jail

term for corruption arrived including cheaper prisoner under the cover of self to finally agree to hide himself in following a twelve hour standoff with authorities and supporters who protested against his imprisonment while others celebrated saying the guilty must pay for their crimes. from outside the prison in could achieve them. the former president lula da silva is serving the first day of his twelve year sentence in the top floor of this federal police prison behind me he's been given a special suite he's had a television installed so he can watch his favorite football team corinthians play a live game today against biomed. he's separated segregated from the other prisoners perhaps treatment that befits a former president but he is still a convicted prisoner he will be spending twelve years in prison probably not the whole time here we'll probably be moved to another prison at some stage perhaps closer to sell paolo which is where he used to live there have been some

demonstrations of support and against in the days leading up to his imprisonment they've pretty much subsided now here outside the prison including chiba there's a small group of protesters over there over to that side behind a small police cordon really expressing support for lula his legal team are still planning to try to resist to fight against the imprisonment but there are other cases pending against him so this twelve year is one month that he's been sentenced to for money laundering and corruption could be increased if he's found guilty of those other crimes in the meantime he says that he's innocent of all the charges against him that it's a political campaign to stop him running in october's presidential elections something that he still plans to fight and something his supporters say that he could and should win there are reports that north korea has told u.s. officials it is willing to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula the

two countries have been contacted had a meeting planned between kim jong un and president donald trump next month it will be the first time a sitting u.s. president has held talks with the north korean leader kim the chinese president xi jinping in beijing last month in his first overseas trip and its leader. israel's minister defense. lieberman has angered palestinians by saying that there are no naive people in gaza and that those taking part in protests are mass military wing activists at least thirty palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since demonstrations along the garzon israeli border began ten days ago thousands more have been injured palestinians plan to hold protests against the israeli occupation for the next five weeks police in germany say they may have four held a potential attack on the berlin half-marathon on sunday nobody kane has more now for months. berlin the police confirming that they have arrested six individuals

varying in age from eighteen to twenty one in connection with what they say was potentially preparation for a crime targeting the berlijn half marathon it's been staged in the german capital today a point to make is that that event attracts thousands of people not only as participants but also as spectators the point the police are reinforcing here is that they believe that the elevated sense of tension in germany following events here in munster on saturday where the vehicle was steered into a packed crowd and people were killed in that incident and then the perpetrator killed himself that they believe that was a reason for them out of an abundance of caution to move to make the arrests concerned and to search properties in different parts of the city and to search vehicles associated with those individuals thousands of people from pakistan's pashtun community have attended a rally and push our to demand rights and protection the so-called pashtun protection movement says the security forces are carrying out extradition arrests

and killings matheson as its report. fury and frustration and push album posted about the chanting crowd photographs of pashto said to have disappeared or be killed these protesters blame the police and the military i think this was this was an emotional eruption. did these young. they get there then they started this moment and i think they believe you can do this moment to grasp that it's not only the pashtun tribal janet did it and even the pakistani government. several society they are also supporting the. moment i. say thousands of pashtuns have moved to the southern port city of karachi fleeing from their homes in northern tribal areas to escape violence along pakistan's border with afghanistan but pashtuns say they've been too. targeted by the police and the army since the emergence of the pakistani taliban whose leaders are also said to

come from close to the pashtuns northern tribal homeland. but. the most recent killing in karachi was not. an aspiring pashtun model who his father says had no links to rebel groups pashtun say they want the senior police officer involved in the killing of not keep to face the death penalty i they deny these are anti-government demonstrations and say their demands a simple first demand was to arrest the guy to break the second was stop him alleviation pushed on women especially to try a bit of women and children at the security check they had thirty one was it took cleans the land mine which was given in especially in video. but as support for the protests grows the government may be forced to do more to show that pashtuns are not being targeted rob matheson al jazeera. kenya has

suspended the construction of a seven hundred kilometer wall along its border with somalia locals say the partially billboard has helped prevent members of the group al-shabaab from crossing into kenya but some analysts say it does nothing to stop fighters who are already in the country hundreds of people have died in attacks by the armed groups but other areas remain unsafe catherine sawyer reports now from monday are on the kenyan somalian border. this is what is meant to keep out fighters based in somalia part of a larger government project to protect the park. here in the kenyan county town of mandela clan elders say the border barrier has helped along with other security measures including arming vetted civilians and better cooperation between different clans and security forces. for there to be peace we have to look out for. us if my neighbor result issues. the enemy.

husband was killed almost three years ago when gunmen attacked a bass he was shot trying to protect christians who are the target. for ten years and we have six children when i look at them i see him i will never forget him. and there has been an entry point for. sympathetic locals say to aid them with crayon was making the situation was some security analysts say building a barrier is not in itself a solution. needs to its. people here in nairobi monday or on all the parts of these countries so there. you would be building a wall just give it a wall because it's not i was just a fence i think for me i think demonstrate they maybe to you from the policymakers when it comes to dealing with us about even after all these years in this region

the attack has mainly target holds who come here to walk in schools and parties. where most people from other parts of the country come. and twenty four thirty six. what killed. along the border with somalia. watched his friends die but he says the security situation at least within towns and the surrounding areas has improved and as. we have the protection of the bodies we do not live in one neighborhood breaking the fast we have spread out to other areas where there are. people leaving he may have found relative peace but several other parts of the region remain unsafe some of this travelers are going further east taking a route so dangerous that they have to be escorted by armed police who themselves

are a target catherine sorry al jazeera and dara not distant kenya the longest river in asia has become one of the world's most polluted the young sea has long been a lifeline for millions of chinese but now plastic from the river is slowly killing life in the east china sea and beyond the reports from shanghai. three generations of new ijaz family are out cleaning up plastic along the mouth of the yang z. river one of the worst spots in the world for plastic pollution. but. i'm here to protect the ocean there's a lot of trash on the beach we saw a video where turtle and held a straw and it bled a lot so when people try to help get the straw out of it's no littering endangered species. one of the biggest plastic consumers in the world china's numbers are staggering for instance package delivery services in two thousand and sixteen used

fourteen billion the plastic bags and with the rapid increase of food delivery options it's estimated that sixty million plastic containers are used each day many cannot be recycled. one campaigner at the environmental group that organizes these volunteer cleanup outings says people seeing the pollution drives the message home alone. i think we can look beyond the numbers when we're talking about the marine waste to the public statistics of their abstract it's easier to bring them here to see with their own eyes and participate in activities like this that's a more direct way to make the public realize the severity of the problem according to an environmental journal the yangtze river and its tributaries here carries one point five million tons of plastics into the sea each year the repast is through some of china's biggest cities the last one here in shanghai before it meets the east china sea and then the plastic makes its way to the pacific ocean nature

magazine recently reported that what's known as the great pacific garbage patch is much larger than previously thought twice the size of france and containing seventy nine thousand tons of plastic. china's environmental protection ministry admits there's a big problem and recently announced that a restructuring plan is in the works. the plan will create better conditions for fighting the uphill battles against pollution and improving ecological environment we're obliged responsible and have every reason to do a better job in coming days. and the pace of that job needs to quicken as scientists predict that if the flow of plastic into the oceans is not slowed by two thousand and fifty the amount of plastic in the oceans will outweigh the fish it's got hotter al-jazeera shanghai. their action of a website and plenty on that story and we have a story that we're covering right the al-jazeera dot com is the address lots of
