al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara starr at this is the news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes votes are being counted in lebanon's first parliamentary elections in nineteen years little change is expected at the top. thirteen people are killed in a bomb blast in afghanistan police suspected some another attack by those looking to disrupt the forthcoming elections iran's president warns that you west will suffer historic regret if donald trump pulls out of the nuclear agreement with tehran and volcanic destruction in hawaii lava flows continue after the us island is hit by the worst quakes in decades. i'm tatiana sanchez in doha with the sports including how does field spoil the party as the english

premier league champions manchester fifty caliber a winning the trophy in front of their home fans. vote counting is underway in the first parliamentary elections in lebanon in nine years this election saw the rollout of a new voting system of proportional representation and several new individuals and parties a step forward to be counted the spite this there could be little change to the status quo prime minister saad a sunni muslim is likely to form another unity government that includes iran backed the shia movement hezbollah and holder 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 lebanon hasn't had an election in nine years political wrangling and disagreements 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 a sense of the money we need that at that will. 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. on the you know. we want change we wanted a new generation of leaders in the know what the youth was not but the medicine. 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 i think 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 some 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 with 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 armed group hezbollah. hezbollah in the way that no one did and if. destroy hezbollah has been. a wonderful to them hezbollah and its allies are expected to win the most seats in parliament for their 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 presidency was vacant for two years until late two thousand and sixteen when lebanon's political rivals reached a compromise a president was elected a national unity government was formed headed by prime minister saad oh how do you do that included members of hezbollah. prime minister how do you want to secure enough votes to ensure his leadership of the sunni 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. is live for us in. polls closed a few hours ago and do we have any results coming in. well preliminary results are starting to trickle in his boss says it is making gains in the southern

part of the country and the big valley both areas are considered to be hezbollah strongholds now of the hezbollah's wyvil which is the future movement led by prime minister saad then how he says he has again so far. seven seats but they're expecting that number to increase these are preliminary results of feature movement is expected to gain something like twenty five seats or more than that the other main establishment political parties say that they have also made some gains and the civil society candidate said that they managed to win a seat and this is quite significant these were some sort of emerge from almost nowhere and the out of knowledge trying to save the political future of the countries have been very aggressive over the last few months. they have been building up the momentum across the country so so far we're getting first

indications that adjusting that the establishment political parties are likely to maintain the results they made back in two thousand and nine and hashim i mean again we will get the official results i think in a day or two but the indication is also that the turnout is low and in fact lower than the last elections in two thousand and nine how surprising is that. well the missive n.t. says he is standing now at forty six percent which is yes lower than two thousand and nine for different reasons of voter apathy it could be explained first of all because people have been frustrated over the track record of the government if you remember a few months ago there was this massive protest movement against the government over the way has been managing the waste. dumping in the country there's also a wider distant turned over only employment that is saying basically that the

services of a government of very poor the government is not receptive to the concerns of the liberties people second major concern was basically the new reforms of the voting system that have introduced the. reprise entity of proportional representation which is very difficult for people to understand because the one hand you have to pick one less or the same time you prefer a presidential vote within that same list that it takes time for people to pretty much grasp the whole nation of this voting system ultimately people say that even though there's been a reform of the voting system but it's just going to be boiling down to the same political parties taking over this explains that in different places particularly here the capital level and we haven't seen a major voter turnout the biggest turnout so far has been in the bekaa valley was is predominantly shia it which is also

a hezbollah stronghold. well harshman and you'll be monitoring other vellum and says the results will start coming in properly there in lebanon for the moment in beirut thank you and for more on this we're joined in the studio by lina a t.v. but lena is the head of the middle east and north africa program at chatham house thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so results are starting to trickle in without asking for predictions necessarily what were you be looking for . when the proper results come in i think everybody will look. is the cue for the independent candidates and how well they are doing in this election this is the first time that lebanon has seen such a high number of candidates running outside of the usual political parties that have dominated the political system in lebanon for decades so far it looks like perhaps two candidates have won seats let's see if more can also achieve something because just to explain to members of our audience who may not know the details of

lebanese politics it's quite structured in the sense that certain roles need to go to shia muslim sunni muslim and christian so it's all quite divided is there perhaps a risk that that kind of leads to the kind of apathy that we've seen with people feel that things aren't really going to change that much i think the apathy has more to do with the fact that lebanon did not have an election for nine years and over those nine years the parliament that was basically in place kept to renewing its mandate constitutionally this lead people to lose faith in the political process and lebanon in general and most of them felt that in a way voting doesn't matter because they voted last time for a parliament that was supposed to be in place for you know few years and yet it kept renewing its own mandate regardless of the constitution so why bother play this political you know play within the system unfortunately the platforms also that political parties use to try to rally people to vote or not based on

issues but more on personalities and i think most lebanese seem to be fed up with that and interesting because actually lebanon has a lot of issues that it's dealing with and when first of all it's next door to syria and we know what's going on there lebanon has memories of its own civil war of course it's dealing with an influx of refugees issues of the economy like most other countries what do you think will be the main challenges of the government presumably stability is really the key. in a place like lebanon stability is of course key maintaining. least a minimum economic environment that could you know take the country away from recession would be important lebanon has a lot of debt a lot of refugees this is causing a strain on society not just the economy however these issues interestingly enough were not part of the electoral platforms of most of the candidates that seem to be winning the seats and this to me shows that whatever government takes over in

lebanon next is not necessarily going to be able to solve all these problems focusing on side hariri for a second of course a while ago he seemed to effectively disappear to saudi arabia arabia and then reemerge i mean what would you say the situation with him right now especially saudi arabia's role in the selection of saudi arabia's role has been rather minimal in this election father had it in himself seems to so far with his party to have lost seats and this election compared with last time it seems that the areas of the future movement had candidates. in the last election and one. are now seeing other people from other parties winning the seat so i would say from the traditional kind of political coalitions and parties that are contesting the election the future movement seems to be the biggest loser well we will of course

get the proper results i guess in the next twenty four forty eight hours of the interesting to see exactly what that looks like for the moment. from chatham house thank you so much for sharing your views with us thank you. now pakistani police say the suspect behind the attempted assassination of the interior minister is affiliated to the ultra religious. party the twenty one year old was arrested shortly after allegedly shooting and. following a rally in poor job province police say the shooter showed his affiliation to the party which focuses on highlighting and fighting. indian police say they've arrested the main suspect in the alleged gang rape and murder of a teenage girl down new brianne and several accomplices are accused of burning the sixteen year old girl alive after her parents complained to village elders that she'd been raped here and that other suspects were allegedly angry that the elders

finds them several hundreds dollars hundreds of dollars as. a bomb blast in afghanistan has killed thirteen people the explosion happened at a mosque in the eastern province of cost police suspect the mosque may have been targeted because it was being used as a voter registration center for october first parliamentary election time for glasses more now 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 to the scots this further i'm joined in

the studio by a rough and assistant professor of international relations at the university thanks so much for coming in to al-jazeera and i think i actually spoke to you in the studio not that long ago about another attack that was related to the the upcoming elections in afghanistan i mean how damaging do you think this is going to be for voter registration which already is very very low a very sources say it's going to make the. little difference because this has become almost wallpaper music in the background this is a tragedy of afghanistan we get bombs attacks virtually every day in fact on this particular day there were two three other attacks one including seven people being killed so this is probably not going to change the dynamics unless of course somebody in a position of influence decides that it should i know that the afghan government leadership has been speaking to nato about talking to the taliban and there has been supportive of that if somebody does size zero or size decide to stop talking

and working in peace who political solution to this then we might see a drop off in these attacks because i don't think we still know who this attack will be claimed by anyone and both the taliban and i so have staged similar attacks i mean you sort of raise the possibility of any of some kind of cooperation or communication between nato and the taliban and the government but the thing that i saw now being in afghanistan could change the balance of the well it could do in the sense that. it is unlikely to talk have are and certainly if it does it won't talk in terms that nato and indeed the afghan government can accept. the other problem causes the taliban who are more prominent are fractured themselves so we talk unfortunately as of the taliban is a. modern issues but there are different groups who have particular agendas

but the solution does lie in the least isolating them and coming to an accommodation with them so that the security forces and indeed even taliban forces can concentrate on dealing with. who are seen by many first tunes particularly taliban and government sides as people who are outsiders and one thing that binds the afghans is a sense of national pride they don't like others coming into to into their territory doing their business and just a final point here and that's these elections coming up in october just out are they for afghanistan well they're all elections should be key but they will only be key if they produce of distinctive result what we've had in the past sadly is

democracy. the strangling itself we've got to two leaders of the law. both of whom are finding it difficult to share power so if the elections produce a strong a united government which can deliver on economics hansa curity then we might see something different absalom roughest a professor of international relations that not even the versity sir thank you for . so lots more to come here on the al-jazeera news hour including turkey's president unveils his party's political vision ahead of snap elections next month. the army of young activists behind armenia's antigovernment campaign and how their efforts put a force to real change and coming up in sports surfing legend kelly slater explains how he is making waves no way near the ocean.

completely by volunteers from the community you could see right here people have donated to water and food and toiletries and all sorts of things that are essential for people who've lost their homes we're going to walk over here and see some of the folks who are also volunteering this gentleman is making ham and cheese sandwiches for people who are hungry or been volunteering and people who perhaps don't have homes anymore and now we'd like to talk to ashley kirk wits who's also a volunteer how are you actually. tell me why you're doing this. i'm just a concerned community person i mean we've rallied as a community to help people and so that's why we're here and we were not connected to any government agency it's just a number of folks who care about their fellow community people rallying together and trying to provide some comfort for some folks that i really expect experiencing

a lot of distress in china this time so you need to say that of the thousands of people who have been close to two thousand people have been evacuated there's no government help for them that this bread and cheese is not coming from any official source it's was donated by by you and by other people out. many many many people making little contributions in the rainbow to put all of this together in less than twenty four hours. is that the kind of community this is yes we are a community that pulls together when anybody's in trouble and it's absolutely you know the image of hawaii sometimes is very glamorous it's a tourist location fancy hotels and beaches and so on this is a different side of hawaii where we are right now in poet right i mean this is the authentic that i think people really come to love and value and cherish yeah i mean it's not like to hear what you see on the postcards i mean this is real hawaii right here and it's not necessarily the wealthy hawaii either i know it's not

you've got your working families there. so for the people who may have lost their homes that represents really an economic catastrophe is that right dave pretty much lost everything absolutely everything yeah it's definitely touched me for them what do you see is the the longer term outlook for this area on that's to be determined i think right now the community still trying to process everything that's happening which is why we've put together this information center and this hall where people can come and talk story and grieve and we as a community can talk about how we're going to move forward shanker together ok ashley kirkwood thanks very much for speaking with us that's one of the volunteers who've taken their time to join everyone here at this community center again i want to repeat a barber that the people who were evacuated from that event area have now been

a process that is where people work or 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 later 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 so the 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 came to 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 al jazeera europe on armenia. police in serbia have stopped a far right leader returning to a village where he encouraged ethnic hatred during the balkans war. seen here in the red shirts wanted to hold a rally with his supporters cheshire was convicted of war crimes last month by a u.n. court over a speech that he gave in that village in one thousand nine hundred two calling for

a threat to yemen sovereignty he's calling for nationwide protests on sunday the u.a.e. is part of the saudi led coalition supporting yemen's internationally recognized government led by president abbott robbie mansell heidi oh it's fighting against iranian backed rebels who control parts of the country but the u.a.e. has permitted other separatists in southern yemen at the expense of the government analysts say the u.a.e. has a wider goal in mind if you consider the strategy that the united arab emirates have driven in yemen over the past three years actually we see that there is a pattern of valving which doesn't necessarily directly concern fighting the who these or reinstating the government as it was said in two thousand and fifteen when the coalition started but it's more about securing a morality interest in the south of yemen access to the indian ocean access to the bubble munda yemen has suffered three years of will in which thousands of people

have died the yemeni government now based in the southern port city of aden relies on the coalition's ad power which is why. this is the move the u.a.e. by ministers is rare but not unheard of three months ago a minister accused the u.a.e. of trying to fragment the country by creating what he called separate regional and tribal armies a saudi delegation has been sent to mediate this latest crisis in a report that gets complicated by the day victoria gate and be out there. 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 more than forty palestinians have been killed and thousands injured along the border since march when weekly protests against israeli land confiscation began. human rights watch has strongly criticized saudi arabia's crown prince

mohammed bin some on for what it calls a dramatic increase in arbitrary detentions the group says at least two thousand three hundred people have been detained for more than six months without trial some of been custody for more than a decade and human rights watch also says the saudi justice system only seems to be getting worse while a similar analysis by the group in two thousand and fourteen found fewer than three hundred people were held without trial for more than six months human rights watch says one saudi citizen has been held without conviction since september two thousand and three another has been detained while under investigation since december two thousand and six while two hundred fifty one people have been imprisoned for more than three years without their cases coming before the courts well i don't kugel is a middle east researcher at human rights watch he says saudi arabia should prioritize ending such detentions as part of reforms announced last year.

saudi authorities have been promising justice reforms for more than ten years and they've poured millions and millions of dollars into it yet for all these reforms we still find these massive numbers of people held for many many months and even years without trial and that's just one part of the problem once people get to trial they also face other issues including convictions based on what they say are career scores confessions as well as an inability of defendants to adequately defend themselves before saudi courts some cases in which no defense was presented that end up with the death penalty so you know i think while the certainly the crown prince maybe even more time to institute full scale justice reforms. they certainly have not made a lot of progress so far and i should also say in a recent interview with the washington post the crown prince when asked about the detentions and unfair trials if your rights activists seem to indicate that he did

not think that the system was broken what we did was we took that data from in full second and we just analyzed how many people have been under investigation or with a case that is that is not indicative of a conviction or being brought before trial and we said how many of them are in detention how long have they been in detention i also should say that in january of this year we sent a letter to the saudi attorney general and to the saudi foreign ministry requesting information or information about the data as presented by the almight portal but we received no response it's difficult for investors to invest when they don't have confidence in the justice system it's difficult for ordinary saudis to feel like you know they can go through life and receive fair treatment when they know that the justice system isn't working so it is a really critical it should be a critical component to mohammed bin some man's modernization efforts. over fourteen years almost five hundred mexicans were used as guinea pigs at the

country's flagship state neurological institute they were implanted with a device to drain fluid from the brain invented and patented by the head of the institution but the device was never approved by mexican authorities and doctors told al-jazeera it had serious flaws in the second part of our investigation john heilemann examines how this could have happened and the consequences for those involved. over the fourteen years almost five hundred patients were fitted with an experimental unapproved device 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 how does it or that the same is true for other patients who received the implant it was designed to treat
