this is al jazeera. you know i'm right matheson and this is the news on live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes a stone's critic of colombia's peace deals with fox rebels tops the presidential election first round and he'll face a left wing opponent in a runoff next month. italy's populist five-star party leader demands the president's impeachment after me blocks a euro skeptic economy minister sinking coalition government plans. donald trump confirms u.s. officials are in north korea preparing for his high stakes summit with cambridge on
5:01 am
plus. that passengers have a strong determination to break the siege whatever the circumstances palestinians turn to desperate measures to break through a blockade by israel and get urgent medical help. so we begin in colombia where results after the first round of the presidential election have put an arch critic of the twenty sixteenth peace deal with fox rebels on top with almost forty percent of the vote if i'm doing ok will now face left when i go stumble petrol in round two in three weeks time petro came second with almost twenty five percent of the vote that says he'll continue to respect the accord with the former fighters if elected if under case said his criticism of the fock peace deal does not mean he wants to return to conflict.
5:02 am
we do not want to tear up the accord but we want is to make it clear that a peaceful colombia is one where there is peace and justice there is reparations there is compliance sentences are served to satisfy the demands of the victims petro has promised colombians far reaching. social reform and noise down will. go we are not proposing this leap in quality of knowledge by taking resources from part of the population and redistributing it to the other no we can't do that what we are doing is spreading education wide what we are proposing is to democratize knowledge art and culture throughout all of society this is the path to enriching all of us which is currently lacking our latin america editor lissie in human reports from bogota. this was a historic and election in so many ways first of all because it was the first election in more than half a century in which dozens were not fired people went to the polls these without the fear of liberal groups attacking them also it was the first time that the religious
5:03 am
the former fundamentalists to some time about a year ago actually went and voted for the first time in their lives including. the military goal which is the alias of the foreign leader to be going on don't you know he said he hoped the disconnections would have been again actually conciliation but we also had people voting for the front runner who didn't get forty percent of the boat says that every second runner up goes novel battle is actually elected president this country could run up to some of the run other than straight up right now the supporters are here they're jubilant but it's still not a given that he can muster up enough votes in a second round to take the presidency. is a senior analyst who covers colombia for the international crisis group it's an independent conflict resolution organization he's joining us on skype from bogota thank you very much for your time if does become president any toughens up the fok
5:04 am
peace deal how are the fog and their supporters going to react. well i think the far right now they're in a bit of an internal crisis and there are some divisions within the organization so i think what we would see is that division would just continue to grow and worse that division runs along the lines of those like human change will you know the far leaders who basically no matter what happened the matter who was president they will continue with the peace process they will continue to fight for as long taishan and be involved in politics as much as they can while other parts of the far start to question the colombian state real willingness to implement the agreement and they could back out of the agreement they could return to crime they could try to reintegrate on their own on but that division that we see nowadays in terms of the parts future within the fark themselves i think battle just that and become more you know more clear if you get this president if the deal is changed
5:05 am
what does that mean for future deals that might be done with other on the groups within colombia like the allen for example well the island specifically are extremely are keeping a very close eye on this whole process not only on the elections but on the implementation of park agreement in general so many failings or any changes or any sort of intentional lack of will to implement a peace agreement or intentional attempt to change it would actually send a signal to the element of the colombian government not very trustworthy negotiating our own so right now the ellen is also divided on the issue of peace and some of the hardliners who were extremely skeptical the current government within the u.n. would become stronger and that peace process could slowly but eventually fall apart . the implication seems to be the gestapo petrol would make fewer if perhaps none
5:06 am
of toll changes to the peace deal if that was the case it sounds as though from what you're saying that those divisions within the fog and the changes within the at and the positions that they're taking would still go ahead so is that a stop a chance still that we could see violence in colombia's future. i mean that there's a chance without a doubt if we get a president like will stop at the door someone who at least is willing to say that they won't change the peace here and i think those divisions will end up actually getting in and these groups will come together a bit more because there's someone who may feel they can trust. him but i still think violence is not completely off the table in colombia's future unfortunately right now we have various foreign dissident groups operating in different parts of the country that you know because the peace negotiation simply is not as sure and has been has made little progress in the time that it's been taking place is still operate being militarily and so are different drug trafficking organizations
5:07 am
throughout the country so violent we still unstable i think the question will be future for colombia is what is the future sure of that but that's how long will it still be able or will we see in the next four years that also in the main really groups up as far as be demobilized at the moment that mobilized as well. and will those structural factors that fed violent so over the years that a lot of things conflict asked for five decades will those factors continue to be present in colombia especially those countries such aris that we see that they're slowly but surely be be through we had a lot in america has had to see in human mentioned just a couple of minutes ago that this was in fact one of the most peaceful elections that's happened in the country's history how significant do you think that the lack of violence during this election process is. is extremely significant actually colombians are getting as a society are getting used to even if it's not
5:08 am
a conscious process you're getting used to a lack of violence in general. i mean in with elections that is extremely important because colombia prides itself on the what it calls colombia is a latin america's longest running democracy democracy that. despite its violence has continued to exist every paper so the fact that now colombia's are being used to peaceful elections were violence is not a concern it's not in the hitter for people who vote is extremely important and that generational change has a future what becomes acceptable within the society what we come to settle with in colombia politics and what that means for the armed groups that are still operating now and for their chances at peace in the near future college onset of the international crisis group thank you very much indeed thank you. the leader of italy's five star movement has called on parliament to impeach president. after efforts to form a new government collapsed it comes after the president vetoed the prime minister
5:09 am
designate giuseppe kong to his choice of economy minister forcing him to give up trying to farm administration the president was quick to defend himself saying he had to block the euro skeptic candidate of honor to protect italy's economy it's thought will now try to appoint a caretaker government there are fears of a possible constitutional crisis and fresh elections with continuing political instability. reports. after weeks of talks and hopes of a breakthrough italy's prime minister designate throws in the towel. i have announced the mandate which i have been given by the president of the republic a diploma government of change. giuseppe conti had been asked by the so-called populist coalition which between them won the most seats in the march election with forming a viable cabinet now he says that's proved a bridge too far and the sticking point the proposed economy minister paulose
5:10 am
a former minister who's also a well known euro skeptic italy's president says boehner would have sent a worrying message to italy's partners and the financial markets. they love. him and i'm not considering the individual i don't want someone who supports an opinion which was expressed more than want anything that would inevitably lead to italy's exit from the your right in. up until the last minute material salvini leader of the right wing likud party had insisted his pick for economy minister must not be vetoed speaking live on social media late on sunday he called the president's rejection anti democratic means. that he said no he said there will not be a government we work for nothing we will have a technocrat government i ask of the a democracy in italy do the italian decide or do the germans offense decide it's absolutely incredible from my point of view. salvini wants fresh elections so too does luigi demaio leader of the five star movement which got the most votes in
5:11 am
march when the mention there was over fifty percent support for two political parties parties that want to change things and want to represent a talons in their interests but in the end a way to block it is always seems to be found the president is expected to decide his next step on monday it could well see another non-politician given the job of heading in interim government for italians political instability is a fact of life one of many hoped was about to change the debugger al-jazeera gustavo piggery is a professor of political economy at the university of it on top of gotta he says the political crisis in italy isn't only about the economy. there's another issue that we never discussed during this campaign about whether this was our government i was to choose whether to stay within the euro area or not if you came out later on and. you could argue that. move should have another
5:12 am
campaign to debate that more even more than if you can see that does the program of the two parties together has put forward there. has an implication of expansion of fiscal policy a five percent of g.d.p. to lower taxes and great the spending and people are starting to wonder where they would find the money and this was a raising questions about whether printing money getting out of the euro would be a solution so they're waiting creasing amount of dollars and this government never quelled those doubts and this last minister was never able to say that this was a government to stay within the euro so the perception was that this was a government that all of a sudden had put the issue of the euro at the center of the splats form or at least was raising doubts about this and so there are many reasons for why a lot of people are understanding why we are current in the standoff there are years and years of mistakes of wrong that konami policies that have created
5:13 am
a huge divide in the country and where more than fifty percent of the people i have been uncomfortable with this policy is identifying them with european union advice and making the euro the true the true scapegoat of this crisis while we know indeed that the problem where you're standing be policies so you have a lot of s.m.s. in the north that have voted for the northern lead crushed by austerity and you have a lot of the people that i've always relied on internal demand and public demand in the south and have been crushed and unemployment has gone up because of the lack of public investment so there are true economy crees ns and the bad functioning of european institutions behind is that not. democracy entirely has always worked fantastically seems world war two i would say that now we know very clearly that the next election likely to be in the fall we'll have a center which you didn't have in the march. last march election we'll have
5:14 am
a dissenter to issue of the euro whether we want to stay in the euro area or we're going to stay you know european union that still with the euro very differently in terms of asking lesser standard and more development these issues were not debated enough during the past elections i think everybody's now aware of these are going to be the central point of the next ones bunch of more ahead on the news hour including the reaction to a rally against refugees staged by germany's far right movement. and then you know the god of one's the mana king grove monaco grand prix peter is going to have all the action in the sport. donald trump says u.s. officials have a north korea in this part of preparations for a possible meeting next month between him and kim jong un plans for a summit on june the twelfth in singapore or initially scrapped when the us
5:15 am
president announced on thursday he was pulling out only to express enthusiasm a day later says things are going well in the tweets trump writes i truly believe north korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial nation one day came along and agrees with me on this it will happen mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . the state department has confirmed that a u.s. negotiating team has traveled to the north korean side of the demilitarized zone for negotiations hitting the team is some king now he's a former ambassador to south korea and he was part of the delegations that negotiated during the so-called six party talks between two thousand and three of tall they broke down in two thousand and nine now interestingly enough on the north korean side their chief negotiator is chose she's a deputy foreign minister and was part of the north korean delegation during those
5:16 am
six nation talks so certainly the go see it is from both sides know each other well aware of the history of the ongoing crisis in north korea now what they are doing we understand is to set an agenda for the talks should they take place on june the twelfth without a clear agenda discussed over the next three days there's likely to be no summit robert kelly is a professor of international relations in the political science department at university is joining us by skype now from busan in south korea thank you very much indeed for your time here at the heart of all of this of course is the debate over denuclearization but both sides don't even have a clear definition of what that means our expectations of what could be achieved at this summit too high. yeah i think they are i think this is much of this is because of the way the president himself has spoken on television and secretary of state
5:17 am
pump aoe to it would help a lot if the americans particularly would start to lay out what specifically they're looking for besides demanding that the north koreans give up everything because they're not going to do that so some of the north koreans aren't going to give up all of that what would the united states be willing to live with and what will we want what will be willing to give the north koreans in return i mean that's one of the things that been really frustrating about this process in the last couple of weeks is it's kind of like all or nothing sort of feel to it right now to some it's going to happen or it's not all this great drama they're going to give up everything the libya model that's probably not how this thing going to shake out there probably be the north koreans will give up something that will go to something else and then be a series of meetings and steps taken years in which you have concession made for counter concession it's not going to get wrapped up in three weeks that will be extraordinary out of this that we've spoken to previously about this have suggested that kim jong un had achieved what he wanted to to achieve which was to establish north korea as a nuclear power in the world it seems from what you're saying that it's very unlikely that he is going to make any attempt to give that up now that he has
5:18 am
achieved that. yeah it would be pretty extraordinary right i mean they spent forty to fifty years building these things they put enormous resources into them they were isolated from the global community in order to get them you know the north koreans have been very concerned about what happened in the los of bitching coffee and saddam hussein they've told us repeatedly that if those guys had had nuclear weapons the americans would not have tipped them all of them at a pretty unhappy end right so that you know if the north koreans nuclear weapons are all to about regime security specifically the security of the kim family. and again it would be amazing if they were to give that up i mean the level of concessions we would have to make in response would be gigantic and again that's one of the reasons why i suggest that we should start small and you build upward rather than starve the very top because it's just so risky both domestically both donald trump i'm kim jong un have politically staked an awful lot on this how much of this is thing do you think is done to basically creating an image of an achievement of some sort for both sides and also how much do you think can actually
5:19 am
be achieved because the has to be something taken away from this doesn't there to make it worthwhile. well i mean when the south koreans and north koreans met a couple of weeks ago the language was very flowery and very thin and detail i have a feeling the north koreans be very pleased at that so i came away from singapore with her where with this thing i don't think the north koreans want to give up a great deal i can be very content to have a generalized statement they can say that they got from new york and president who met them as equals i think donald trump side yes i think it's a little more obvious driven by domestic needs the president does facing a tough election in the fall we know the president likes the drama on theatricality of these kinds of big meetings president has a really steep himself in the detail of nuclear weapons or missile technology if you listen to his speeches he's very thin on what specifically we're going to ask for give away i think a lot of this yes is driven by his desire for been to cation and approval in the global media let's widen out a little bit i mean at the moment we're just talking about north korea and the u.s. but of course we're also talking about japan south korea and china as well where do
5:20 am
you see those three countries playing into all of this particularly in the longer term. yeah that's also sort of one of the reasons why this thing is probably in the going slower than i think the president would like because there are a lot of stakeholders right i mean that was actually rather unfortunate thing about it because i mean ultimately this is koreans country nation really making their own decisions but the united states japan china russia and a lot of other people a lot of interest in what happens and of course the global community is very concerned about north korean liberation so whatever final deal comes out of this is got to be acceptable to the regional partners to most importantly china my sense is the chinese are actually pretty comfortable with where things have been going in the last couple weeks they want the north koreans and americans to meet they'd like to see some kind of deal between the two sides to reduce the tension and i think that's why the chinese have been so quiet recently but yeah i mean any final deal is going to have to be broadly of separately acceptable to the other relevant players and that that element hasn't really been a part of this either again this thing is just going so fast there is an impression at least to those of us on the outside that this meeting is taking place and
5:21 am
certainly than the meeting between north and south korea yesterday took place simply because donald trump said he was going to pull the u.s. out of that summit on june the twelfth now whether or not that is accurate and we don't really know because obviously that's all going on behind closed doors it gives the impression that donald trump and the trumpet ministration just to have to put a certain amount of pressure on in order to be able to get a result do you think that longer term we're going to see that level of action if you like that kind of action by the trumpet ministration going forward in diplomatic situations around the world because it's worked this time round. you know that's a really good question and actually it's not really clear to me yet i my my son my sense is that jump ministration doesn't have some kind of like grand diplomatic strategy or a bargaining tack in my own sense of the president often wins or swings from from moment to moment i think what happened yesterday was basically moon jane saying to the americans oh bleakly bad if you don't come around and talk to the north koreans i'm just going to continue to do this myself i think this is sort of part of one of
5:22 am
the costs of the president sort of a high handedness with american allies but you can stomp on them for only so long before they start to go off and do their own thing and the president has had some very hoarse word choice words for president moon in the past he called them peas or last year for example you know and then the american suddenly pulled out of this thing without even telling the south koreans that letter that showed up wasn't there was no warning to the south and so i think president just went off and said i'm going to do this on my own and that's a real problem for the americans along and right i mean if the united states going to maintain this large global alliance network it has the president's got to do a lot better job grooming america's friends and allies really interesting to get your point of view on this robert kelly thank you very much indeed for your time thank you for having me three palestinians have been killed by israeli shelling in gaza it happened east of the city of raphael in the southern gaza strip israel's military says the men were armed members of the islamic jihad group more than one hundred people have been killed by israeli fire in the gaza strip since mass protests began in march two boats will leave gaza this week with palestinians
5:23 am
needing urgent hospital care own board that tried to break an israeli blockade which has prevented medical supplies from getting in and patients getting out hospitals have been struggling to treat thousands of palestinians wounded by israeli bullets joining protests by hundred smith reports. gaza is blockaded by israel on all sides sea included but this week two boats loaded with patients who need hospital treatment and students with university places will try to breach israel's sea blockade which begins sixteen kilometers out in the mediterranean that passengers have a strong determination to break this siege whatever the circumstances whatever the challenges whatever the obstacles that would have been that would be imposed by the israeli side gaza's hospitals are full of patients who need urgent medical treatment there are those injured in two months of protests and longer term cases at least now i have sixty five of them already admitted those who would want to do
5:24 am
in the marshall for turn but there are many other cases of cancer in open heart surgeries and many other complicate newer surgical cases of the baby cases all of them need to travel abroad because of shortage of personalities induced by the israeli blockade in gaza strip and why can't they travel abroad because the bulk of our seed must of time and these patients should probably one time he can say to a patient why when cancer come back after three months that he will deteriorate and you have too much complication they cannot wait life long waiting for this product up in. the post that will be used to being kept hidden organizers fear israel will try to destroy them before they leave the port and reality the boats are not going to get any further than israel's maritime blockade which is as tightly and harshly enforced as the land blockade but at least those on the boats will highlight again the open prison like conditions that there are here in gaza that prevent almost anyone from leaving burnitz with al-jazeera gaza. palestinian president mahmoud abbas will stay longer in hospital where he's being treated for

through the streets to the brandenburg gate behind me where they they held their actual demonstration and they had speeches from the party leaders but it was a message which the protest has and there are more many more thousands of them on the streets of berlin than there were members of the old terms that germany they try to drown out the message of this party it first came into the parliament in the last elections with a bonus tag any more than ninety seats they are now the main opposition party in germany they've overtaken the green party and they're beginning to challenge the social democrats who are part of the grand coalition so there is a movement here towards the extreme right a populist movement a movement it was because essentially by the large number of refugees more than a million that came in and angela merkel's open open borders policy though this is a problem that's going to remain here in germany the fact that even in the bone the

stark you're hearing paranoid racist set of opaque anti semitic remarks and you are now hearing them it's little rallies on the streets of berlin this is a problem that's going to be causing ructions within the grand coalition social democrats want to keep a liberal attitude towards refugees but the agam up as parties trying to tighten up the borders restrict immigration two hundred thousand a year that's causing attention even within the grand coalition and we're going to see more scenes like this and we're going to hear more from the also on the germany because now essentially they see that growing mainly the demographics borders from the east blue collar workers the unemployed in the old the people in the east in germany. the fear that he would be changed forever. for that future so we'll see many more of these demonstrations and many more these days. it's been one
