zero. hello i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes polls close in lebanon's first election in nine years it's a new system but the same players a set to dominate afghanistan's upcoming election appears to be the target once again a bomb attack a voter registration center kills at least thirteen people. iran's leader hassan rouhani issues a warning to the u.s. if it pulls out of the nuclear deal it will regret it like never before. i'm tatiana sanchez in doha with the sport in clearing hottest failed to spoil the party as english premier league champions manchester thirty fell apart winning the

trophy in front of the home fans. folk thing is underway in lebanon's first parliamentary elections in nine years there are three point six million eligible voters but turnout has been low and is expected to fall short of the fifty four percent who voted in two thousand and nine and that's despite last minute televised calls from several political leaders for people to head to the ballot box have been is using a new system based on proportional representation but it's unlikely to upset the overall balance of power so in a hunter has more now from beirut. judd phone is among the eight hundred thousand voters who are eligible to cast their ballot for the first time on hasn't had an election in nine years political wrangling and disagreement over a new alec torah law were to blame now this twenty three year old hopes his vote

will make a difference. for people who don't have any money but it shows up with them on the . you know that had them go. more and more voices are calling for change and it's not just the young lebanese are concerned about the growing level of poverty and unemployment in the country. where you know. we want change we want to new generation of leaders who know what the youth need. this is the first time where so many independent candidates joined the electoral battle the new law which is based on proportional representation opens the door for these candidates to try to break the political elites hold on power but they acknowledge they can only make a small difference. and we know we will win all the one hundred twenty eight seats but even if we get eight ten or twelve seats we are satisfied because we know we will be able to expand our presence later on they are up against a political establishment that has been in power for years if not decades even

since the days of the civil war in the one nine hundred eighty s. if those politicians are not running their sons or grandsons are and they have been accused of using their office for electoral gains. there are people who vote for candidates who help them this is wrong but that is how it has always been . those are the so-called traditional voters who not only benefit from a politician or party but are often loyal to their sect before the nation lebanon's parties are sectarian among them the iranian backed shia armed group hezbollah. hezbollah on the way to no one did the fall destroyed hezbollah has been put to. a waterfall to them hezbollah and its allies are expected to win the most seats in parliament further strengthening their power which has been growing in recent years . a lot has happened since the last election in two thousand and nine there was

political instability the post of the presidency was vacant for two years until late two thousand and sixteen when lebanon's. political rivals reached a compromise deal a president was elected a national unity government was formed headed by prime ministers thought how do you do that included members of hezbollah. prime minister how did he wants to secure enough votes to ensure his leadership of the city community and ensure his return to the premiership he has exchanged harsh words with hezbollah during campaigning but that is an expected part of the election rhetoric in lebanon both sides know they need to work together if they want national unity and this divided nation. be grouped. is live for us now from a recent national as we're hearing zain is reporting there it's of course an election where the main players a really looking to consolidate that support that base any further update then on the timeouts. the latest statement from the

missive in into the talks about forty six percent was about three hours ago we expected that number to. climb it could reach fifty percent and that could be good news for the establishment political parties but also for the government voting counting the votes is underway but it's still too early to make any projections we don't know if this particular stage whether the me political parties have managed to consolidate. their gains but the independents are also looking forward to have a bigger say in the future of the country so the voting is still underway and still an early stage for us to make any projections about what of the what's the outcome from the election and hashim i know that you've been speaking to civil society leaders and they have been really trying to promote this idea of going you know

voting patterns that go beyond the sectarian basis and and patronage that exists there in lebanon how much optimism or is there much optimism around this vote. well many people say that the new voting system could pave the way for lebanon to change and particularly when it comes to garnering the support of long. voters who are not affiliated to any sects the religious group or region in eleven and but that could take some time because as we speak we're expecting the mainstream political parties to to remain the biggest political force in eleven independent civil society can these days are not likely to make any major impact in the near future but they say that they are building momentum and that the

momentum has been going on for quite some time the hoping that in the next elections here four years from now they could start to make some impact on the political life money and we're talking about a country that is has been beset by political instability sic tarion divide conflict in syria the exit is of thousands of refugees from syria into lebanon unemployment and economic problems and people have been say that basically. the system that has been prevailing for more than fifty years eleven has to change we need to see new leadership we need to see new people who are able to unite lebanon for the lib and his government to tackle the real problems of the country faces and on top of the agenda is economy and employment and the poor services of a country few months ago because of some problem about waste banishment thousands of people took to this reason unprecedented way and said enough is enough this is

exactly what people are hoping to see of the new future new faces a government committed to changing the face of lebanon thank you so much passion mom are with all the latest from beirut. well pakistan's interior minister has survived a suspected assassination attempt a sonic ball was shot and wounded while sitting in his vehicle shortly after addressing crowns a crowd at a rally in punjab province he's receiving medical attention and is expected to be moved to la for further treatment his attacker has been arrested according to one of his aides who elsewhere a bomb blast in afghanistan has killed thirteen people the explosion happened to a mosque in the eastern province of cost but we suspect the mosque might have been targeted because it was being used as a voter registration center for topers parliamentary election jennifer glass has more from kabul. the attack in host province is the latest in

a series of attacks on voter registration centers and on election officials around the country it certainly has the afghan government concerned president ashraf ghani condemned the attack saying the attackers continued crimes against religious places but he said that it won't do a real election process that he called on his security services to better protect these voter registration centers but so far they've been unable to do so the worst attack came here in kabul two weeks ago when a bomber attacked a line of people lined up for to to register to vote sixty nearly sixty people killed in that bombing and almost one hundred twenty injured has many afghans very concerned about going to voter registration areas they feel that they're unsafe they feel that they're not protected they feel that they are a target and of course this is just the beginning of the election process those parliamentary elections to be held in october of the campaign period will start

after voter registration voter registration goes on until mid june the afghan government's goal had been to register fifteen million people by then but so far only about one million people have been registered in the past three weeks or so and the attacks certainly seem to be deterring the afghan public from it so a very serious consequences to these attacks for an election that many here see as crucial to the future of afghanistan. well i'm joined now by bibi who is a former senior advisor to the international forces in afghanistan and joins us live on skype from kabul. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour so we do seem to be seeing an uptick in attacks in afghanistan particularly those that target voter registration centers and that sort of

infrastructure around the election in october is it going to be possible to hold those elections if we see this continued increase in attacks well if the process is like this that you see increasingly attacks here and there and. voting does your station step it differently deter people to. further attempt and do to be honest that it raises lots of question about that reality of the government to have this election because so far it's not nearly a month or twenty days we assume openly about a million being purchased or voting the reason is that in security problems the. many in the cities that it is dangerous situations happen in the areas it has been so much less than what has been expected well we know that the taliban has threatened to use violence to prevent people from voting in that election what

happens now if the afghan government and security forces are not in a position to protect voters in the period before the elections and then also on election day itself. well the problem is with the government the government has we it shows weakness it is it damn it happen internal problems among do not unity government. was not managed properly the securities of mannish berkeley. government and that and security services have a lot of result to to do for me to provide security but i'm afraid they are not able to you to utilize it and that is the problem in problem is. that you know. inside the government and back to the problem what about the role of international forces here what more could they be doing to support the political process or at least to create more stability and security in the period running up

to these elections when i think the afghan population and the international community has been waiting to see there is solid all of the new u.s. strategy in afghanistan and still far we haven't seen a defect so that this he was supposed to focus on the region and to put i'm to put it a bit bigger he says of you know trainings of these insurgents under pressure and we haven't seen so far this bombings and attacks are coming and coming and i think it shows that probably did international communities also not equal to the to help afghanistan provide security for the election i think them decision if it goes like this then that is a lot of doubt that this election might you can not be able to happen. thank you very much i mean our baby for sharing your analysis with us we appreciate it at

joining us that from kabul. i want to bring you more in our top story now the parliamentary election in lebanon the first in nearly a decade rami curry is a senior public policy fellow and journalism professor at the american university of beirut he joins us now from doha thanks very much for joining us so this has been described as an election that is unlikely to bring about any significant change it will preserve the balance of power in the country but do you see any room for any surprises all spoilers. well we have to wait for the full results to come out and they won't be out till monday morning there are several significant possibilities that could happen here we don't know how a lot of the younger people who can vote for the first time are going to vote we don't know how the civil society independent young professional progressive candidates and there's quite a few of them who are not linked to the big parties and most cases we don't know

how they're going to do radiate woman who are running for parliament we'll see if they emerge victorious and bigger numbers than than ever before and most importantly we'll see what is the impact of this very complex new electoral law that many lebanese themselves were confused about the range of different alliances of convenience that were made among different electoral groups and in some cases and contradictory forms where some groups were together on lists and one area and opposed to each other in other areas so there are many unknown factors about this election but what is clear is that any change that happens is going to be limited which doesn't mean that it's significant it would be significant if you did have more women more young people more independents and it means that there will be the beginning possibly of incremental change where the established political elite that has ruled the country for decades and decades is challenged

more seriously on a national level if if there are victorious candidates who are not part of the old traditional elite so we need to keep our eyes open for these several things. one of the fact is constraining that change that you describe. the factors constraining the change are the fact that traditional parties like they have a the future movement is about. some of the main christian parties the druze party all of these groups have been a power some of them for half a century others that are relatively new like the honest movements the movement of the president that's been there for about twenty five years or so these are. groups that have a solid grip on power they were challenged already in the street demonstrations two and a half years ago for the garbage crisis which was a terrific moment in lebanon when hundreds of thousands of people when i was in the

streets challenging their political elite for their incompetence and their uncaring attitude the municipal elections a year ago generated a lot of excitement when independent candidates won but despite all of that and all the problems that lebanon has suffered that ordinary people feel in their homes this political elite still has a pretty tight grip on power and that's because they give people things that matter to people they give them jobs they give them health care they give them and tree into universities they help them out when they need help the problem is that elite cannot serve the entire population anymore and this is where lebanon is out of at a tipping point possibly because the power elite can retain its power but serve an increasingly smaller number of people and this is precisely what has happened all over the arab world where power elites ruling families maintain a lot of power but they only serve their own followers and a lot of people become marginalized pauperized and vulnerable and this is one of

the dangerous things in lebanon if we're not careful thank you very much. in with the news out live from london still ahead reports that israel might have to hand over control of four neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem as part of a new u.s. peace plan. the army of young activists behind on me is antigovernment campaign and how their efforts could have forced real change. and in sport allison vang gets the perfect sendoff from his final home game in challenger. now iran's president has warned the u.s. it will regret quitting the nuclear deal as the deadline looms for donald trump to make a decision. says iran plans to respond if trump pulls the u.s.

from this pact trump has repeatedly said he wants to leave the twenty fifteen agreement unless european allies can fix what he calls the flaws in the deal he has less than a week to decide whether he will extend u.s. sanctions relief on iran i got a bit o. . haulage if the u.s. ups to pull out of the nuclear deal it will soon realize that this decision will become a historic regret for them no change will occur in our lives next week we have devised plans for any possible decision the trump might make and will resist it. he has more from to her on. president hassan rouhani is preparing his people for a worst case scenario the resumption of u.s. sanctions and they return to the economic isolation of the past but this is not the same iran that signed the nuclear deal in two thousand and fifteen. ronnie's message to his people is that iran has a more robust economy one able to withstand the aggression by the united states

iran is also strategically stronger in the region than it was when it signed the deal with close ties to countries it is helped in open conflict including syria iraq lebanon yemen and in recent years to her on his strength as one to one trade and diplomatic ties with dozens of countries these are things around the leaders are pointing to this positive steps taken during the current administration and the rest of the tone of the iranian president's remarks about the united states it was likely for a domestic audience. ronnie mary herself to the success of the nuclear deal and as it begins to fall apart he finds himself defending his government's decision to enter into talks in the first place if the united states pulls out of the nuclear agreement many people say that it could bolster hardline lawmakers and military hawks here in iran or it could work out in president rouhani favor giving his government the moral highground to say to western powers that we try to go away and

now we will go back to making policy on our own terms and as president donald trump is expected to ask israel to withdraw from four neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem israeli media reports transfer request as part of the so-called u.s. peace plan which is still on the development it comes less than two weeks before the u.s. embassy officially moves to cherish them stephanie deca is in west jerusalem. reports in the israeli media that the trumpet ministration will ask israel to hand over cede control of four palestinian neighborhoods in occupied east drew some drug or free of course is incredibly important it is everything when it comes to resolving this conflict three of those neighborhoods one of them is ready outside the separation wall two of them very close to the other one being talked about were fought is one that is right next to west jerusalem many people will tell you that it will be incredibly difficult to see how israel will allow to hand over control

of that the bigger picture here is what's important and also no one has yet spoken about the future of the old city the old city of course home to the al aqsa mosque compound it is holy to muslims it is holy to jews many people will tell you the palestinians won't accept anything when it comes to the core of the issue i think it's all about concessions we have heard from the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman in these really media as well saturday night saying there is no such thing as a free lunch of course referring to the transfer of the american embassy here to druce and we expect that on the fourteenth of may concessions will have to be made by both sides the trumpet ministration of course donald trump will be incredibly keen to be seen as the man who's been able to resolve the impossible he's calling what we are expecting to hear a new plan that their administrations been working on the deal of the century i think however no one is holding their breath the palestinians increasingly skeptical of the americans as honest brokers following that move however other was

will tell you that perhaps the trump administration will be using the move to twist israel to twist this administration into giving concessions that otherwise it will not make again we're going to have to wait and see what exactly the specifics of this deal will be we're expecting that to be announced a little after that move of the embassy to jerusalem the fourteenth. israeli military says it has killed two palestinians who tried to cross into israel from the gaza strip israel says the two men were trying to damage security infrastructure or than forty palestinians have been killed and thousands injured along the border since march when weekly protest against israeli land confiscation began. armenians a days away from what many hope will be seismic change in their political system on tuesday the parliament is expected to elect an opposition leader is the country's new prime minister it comes after a wave of protests across the country as natasha going to reports from yerevan students have played a major role. many are medians are saying their so

called velvet revolution succeeded because people finally shed their political apathy and were inspired to. death has been leading protests since twenty sixteen for several weeks he's rallied students at half a dozen university he says opposition leader goal should know and maybe the face of this unprecedented push for change but people primarily students organized it they refused him sort of leader because if the song hips they. need to hold the process that is where people recall food and. it's undeniable young people force during the protests that eventually crippled the country fed up with the poverty lack of jobs and corruption they're hoping the government will

finally turn its attention to the pressing needs of armenians if pressure becomes prime minister as expected on tuesday he'll have an abundance of goodwill and face high expectation i belong to the area they go percentage of the people who really believe that this day would come i expect a lot but it's really hard for me and for him because like people i know people are going to push and i know that it's going to take a long time for him to rebuild that. system the student activists we spoke with say the priority is for the new government to hold free and fair elections it would be a first for this generation you know closing to spit into or going to another page where it will be said that i mean it's no it is participatory terry democracy and this is also a victory and disappoints a political process when i mean it can be united. forcing the resignation of

a prime minister is one thing remaining in gauged through the often slow and messy journey towards monumental political change will be the next test of this country's people power movement natasha good name dizzier a year of on armenia. so live for you this hour more evacuations in hawaii as molten lava from the caraway a volcano continues to threaten residential areas. will have the second part of an al jazeera investigation into claims of medical malpractise at mexico's flagship state neurological institute. the big branch that's changed the motor g.p. title race will have the details of. the law. hello there we've had some spectacular weather over parts of turkey recently so

more in the way of cloud perhaps the odd shower but for most of us it should still stay dry the temperatures in doha they're pretty high at the moment we're looking at a top temperature of around thirty eight or thirty nine degrees. he was the world's most wanted man the last meeting i had with him was off to a. bin laden was very nervous about nature had not met a western reporter before in part two of an exclusive two part documentary al-jazeera speaks to those who met osama bin laden he never showed the hostility towards me of the west i knew bin ladin continues on a. fresh perspective it's new possibilities. thinness jenison just one of the rules that you have to understand little or

a top public neurological institute you learned the good at it was among them it was done without her or her husband's knowledge. they asked us to sign a bit of paper but never that it was going to be a valve or a tube that was part of an experiment they never told us anything about that. three doctors working at the institute at the time told out does either that the same is true for other patients who received the implant it was designed to treat hydrocephalus that's excess fluid in the brain by training it down through a chub into the stomach area. this man invented the device and patented it who will sotelo he was also the director of the same national neurology and neurosurgery institute where it was pressed into use despite never being approved by medical authorities in the field there was a recommendation i would see a demand that you had to recognise the brilliant idea of sotelo the institute the

health ministry and that to sotelo himself who refused to talk to out to zero he's always maintained that studies show his device was effective. leader he nor the national institute has ever been sanctioned for its unauthorized use despite a commission of medical arbitrage clearly stating that malpractise occurred. and you learned this case you know going to tom who still works at the national institute has one word for it all. impunity impunity at every level he says. meanwhile your london man will have to sell their flat to pay medical bills their claims for compensation have fallen on deaf ears mexico's attorney general's office kept them waiting for eight years only to tell them it wouldn't take any action all the time you learned his health is worsening although it's unclear if that has any connection to the device. i'm frightened of dying of

leaving my daughter i'm just so tired there are days in which i just think it would be better if i died fighting. against the backdrop of silence a congresswoman and n.g.o.s have taken the case to the into american human rights commission. it's unlikely to succeed but it is a fresh attempt to get justice for the hundreds of people treated as guinea pigs over fourteen years. john holeman how does it or mexico city police in serbia have stopped a far right leader returning to a village where he encouraged ethnic hatred jaring the balkans war. shell seen here in the red shirt wanted to hold a rally with his supporters russia was convicted of war crimes last month by un court over a speech he gave in the village in one thousand nine hundred two calling for the ethnic cleansing of croat residents he was sentenced to ten years in jail but then free because of the time he's already spent in custody. our national position near

difficult road to becoming a full fledged democracy. more than fifty seven thousand candidates are running for office in three hundred fifty municipalities. forty nine percent are women and more than half are under the age of thirty five but one officials have called for a large turnout observers don't expect many to come out citing an electorate demoralized by high unemployment a weak economy and years of austerity a lack of trust in politicians especially by young people is but one more challenge the general population and we've already begun. and. the reason. is that you need. not. worry in the daily life. there are

going to be issues. that. need to weigh. frustration with the economy and anger arising from the government's austerity measures led to protests in january. analysts say low voter turnout in these municipal polls could be dangerous to the future of democracy in tunisia that it would call into question the legitimacy of those elected who are there in power and they won't have any there's a cordon around them that think they know me. and they will not be able. to make. more or more objective really good life in the country the elections were meant to be a way of giving more power to municipal councils throughout the country while it's still far too early to tell what these polls mean for the future the results are expected to be a sign of the political direction tunisia may be going into ahead of presidential

and legislative elections next year how much into a. turkish president russia type i do on his unveiled his party's election manifesto promising new military operations against kurdish fighters along its border in syria and iraq i do want to dress thousands of supporters in istanbul ahead of next month's snap election he called the vote more than a year to consolidate and lived with executive style presidency which was now the approved in a referendum last year. one of cambodia's opposition parties is threatening to withdraw from july's election the grassroots democratic party says the vote is unlikely to be free and fair was cambodia's largest opposition party has already been banned from the capital phnom penh when hay reports. one of cambodia's newest political parties believes it's the only one that truly lives up to its name representatives of the grassroots democratic party are related from the ground up with supporters and members voting for who they want to stand in

july general election but party leaders say there are undemocratic forces at work in cambodia we had it before the and it's from but in the next. one until monday if the so there's and it's getting worse so you don't think that this and it's in this what's right for the price of pain the previous largest opposition party the cambodian national rescue party was dissolved in november accused of plotting to overthrow the government its leader kim is in jail charged with treason critics say it's part of a campaign orchestrated by the ruling cambodian people's party which is afraid of losing power the opposition performed well in the last general and local elections including here on q. who won his seat in phnom penh only to lose it when his party was banned. most people used to support my party in this area told me that if there is no can board international rescue party in the election they want to go to. the party

headquarters which is owned by another former leader sam rainsy has been seized by the court which may sell it unless he pays a million dollar fine for defaming the prime minister when sam rainsy has called on cambodians to boycott the election there has been international condemnation of the deteriorating situation here with forty five countries signing a letter calling for the opposition to be reinstated and for kim so card to be freed while the united states and the european union have withdrawn funding for july's votes the government says it isn't concerned about the criticism and words intervene in the judicial process they can voice but it's best not to flicks. of the spirits of all people of those countries so would still. on earth. but the future they will come back to earth it's no more.
