1:01 pm
a giant leap forward in exploration after sixty years why it's no longer all about being quick is to the moon and back. the palestinian teenager who's become a global symbol of resistance is making her way back to the home where the whole story began i had to mimi was released from an israeli jail a few hours ago and is making her way back to her village an obvious all up seventeen year old to me was greeted by her family and supporters after being handed over to she was arrested in december at the age of sixteen for slapping an israeli soldier who entered her family's property in the occupied west bank her case has brought a spotlight on the detention of palestinian minors by israel a practice that has been criticized by international rights groups and that the random moment missed them from the house of the march to the resistance will continue until the occupation ends the female prisoners are all strong. and i
1:02 pm
salute everyone who stood by me and all the prisoners and i call on everyone to attend the press conference later. i had to face changes they made over there what a scene and then to miss in a comment the mentality they see there though it does and this make us look for them this have been because of comment on the media that if they hadn't seen the would would like the that would be like i had this strong facing in the me and man i think to have a dog that like i do must feel put out and your sentiments and i had a nice home village and now they solidly occupied west bank so in true what else do we know about her release well we have already said it started here in this village a village of occupation like so many in the occupied west bank and it's going to not end here it's going to really reengage here because there is no doubt that this young lady is going to be at the forefront of a campaign one that's already been recognized by palestinian politicians no less
1:03 pm
than the the president of palestine mahmoud abbas who's met her and her mother. mary man who the mother who took the picture of her daughter slapping the israeli soldier which went viral both women detained and then charged and sentenced now they've served as you've already pointed out just short of the eight month sentence and they're now free and they are intending to campaign no doubt about that whatsoever. so what is what is ahead for her thirty or out the day. well she's going to she's she's going as i say she's already met the president about she's also visited the grave of yasser arafat what she then intends to do is take some sort of rest with her father also
1:04 pm
a veteran of palestinian politics and indeed activism he's done several jail terms as you heard him saying earlier on he now sees the new generation as to be taking on the struggle a lot of a lot of rhetoric around but certainly this is not about being a victim it's about being some sort of victim because there's a lot of celebration of being fireworks here and she will be addressing a news conference you refer to it in a short statement when she'll be explaining exactly where she stands on the whole issue not only of a palestinian rights but children's rights because effectively she is a she was sixteen when she went to jail she's come out seventeen years of age she's still a minor there are a number of issues about the young people in in jails there are nearly three hundred and many of them are just in detention yet they're treated as criminals and so the ngos see this as a positive step this whole campaign being mounted by this young woman.
1:05 pm
child at the best i believe that. they related saw i look to hit through this for the other three men an activist. see her from and girl saw it varies from one person to another but. for sure she is a victim and the from other people could be he'll. and her as you've been saying. in particular what's happened to i had to mimi is actually a lot of ways much bigger than her so can we expect any real debate about the way that juveniles are treated i think you can it's certainly highlighted it's there will be highlighted a number of issues about palestinians in the future she will be used as effectively
1:06 pm
a figurehead a young figurehead you can already see the moves on social media this is a battle of social media after all as it is in many conflicts and it's being used to the fore now or you will see a lot more of it now on the other hand as far as the israeli security forces and indeed many israeli people are concerned it's about symbolism it's about icons figureheads or idols as was the term used by president a bass and now this by the israelis is someone who defied all sorts slapped the soldier who used restraint and so to them it's nothing it's nothing but appalling as far as palestinians are concerned this is an image an image they want to go worldwide has gone viral several times over and it will do again with this release of her and her mother and it carries the message the symbolism of occupation and resistance to it and she will push hard
1:07 pm
a campaign for resistance popular resistance again the words of the president of palestine and her sentiments live for us and obvious hala thank you. votes are being counted in cambodia's general election with the ruling party already predicting a landslide victory for a prime minister and sen human rights groups have called this poll a sham the main opposition was abandoned the leaders jailed or exiled just over eighty percent of registered voters cast their ballots by and have reports from phnom penh. this could have been a day of political change for cambodia instead voters lined up knowing there was little chance of that the choice was vote for a continuation of prime minister hussein's thirty three year rule back one of nineteen small opposition parties most of which can't be called truly independent or stay away. but that i that i came to vote because it's my right and my obligation every five years i want to see my country develop mall at this polling
1:08 pm
station in the capital phnom penh was still on the voter list he's the leader of the band cambodian national rescue party which called for people to boycott the vote this is where i would have cast his vote if he were not in jail awaiting trial on treason charges this could have been a day of big celebrations for him and his party given they almost won the last election five years ago the assumption is they became too popular so had to be removed by a government determined to stay in power he is desirable. it is and our party so we don't want to raise about this matter we wondered what cambodia can do for the future of democracy. across town the prime minister voted early in an election that's been dismissed as illegitimate by many even longtime supporter japan refused to send election monitors. among cambodians choosing to stay away was conveyed out who won
1:09 pm
a seat in local elections last year only to lose it when his party was dissolved he now drives for a living and hopes one day he can reenter politics. i will never give up and i strongly hope that in the future my party can be revived through cambodians voting for it and i believe that come bowden's will provide justice for the c.n.n. r.p. with fingers stained purple for those who voted there will be no hiding for those who didn't and may now fear repercussions the government including the prime minister tried to intimidate people into voting even though it's optional another sign say critics of his increasingly all thora tyrian rule that seems set to continue when hey al-jazeera phnom penh. a day before zimbabwe and voters get to choose a new leader the former president robert mugabe has suddenly stepped back into the limelight and ninety four year old has called a surprise news conference the first time since being forced from office last year and word on what he'll be talking about we are now officially in

1:13 pm
property weather forecasters say more days of heavy rain are on the way on al-jazeera. plenty more ahead in the news hour and clearing anger and a rock weeks of protests over living conditions for south beach electricity minister plus i don't know what we worry about the warships there's so much risk stormy waters for fishermen in yemen today the ports now at the center of a fierce battle. and in sports a stunning gold caps off the night of football in michigan. as we have been reporting i had to be nice to tension put the spotlight on the number of miners being held in israeli prisons israel israel's military juvenile court was established in two thousand and nine rights groups argue that the system asks human rights abuses under a facade of legality as at the end of may two hundred ninety one palestinian minors
1:14 pm
were in israeli jails a security detainees and prisoners that includes three palestinian minors held under what's called administrative detention which means they are detained without trial or charges another six miners were held in israel's prison service facilities for being in israel illegally israel says their courts allow a great deal of parental involvement rights groups say a bass majority of cases never even go to trial ending instead a plea bargain so hard francis is the director and a human rights lawyer at the mere that is a prisoner support and human rights association a priest your time very much so we were just talking there about what happens in these military juvenile courts what is different there as opposed to what would happen in a civilian court. as you said actually the military corps for juveniles just started in two thousand then actually and before
1:15 pm
that all the postini and minors where prosecute with the adults in the same military courts but since the establishment of the court not much protection is offered actually by the military system for these juveniles so on the level of the procedures they are still facing the same court procedures for trial that is not guaranteeing the minimum of the fair trial standards as you said most of the cases would end with the plea bargain which means that the child would be convicted and sent for a very harsh sentence and in the military system it's mostly. imprisonment and there is no other option offered for these children so at the end you would find children as young as thirteen or fourteen that they would spend several months in detention because the shared it falls in their facebook or they shared in
1:16 pm
demonstration or they were throwing stones in these demonstrations how much parental involvement actually in reality is allowed how how much interaction are based children allowed to have with their parents or with legal counsel. it's very limited and restricted the specially on the time of the in total geisha and so most of these children would be ending up investigated and into the gated for long hours without being able to meet the lawyer actually according to the military orders they can burn out for a meeting with a child for up to twenty days max like most of the period of that into the families of course are not allowed to visit and they can communicate just in the time very shortly in the time of the extension of detention which means most of these children confess at the end of the day without getting proper legal advice before
1:17 pm
in total. why has allowed to happen or course the patient forces aims at the end from at us think thousands of children every year every year in order to put pressure on these kids to give information so they would be a very important source of information about what's going on especially into villages that resists all the settlements like in their hand out of villages in the occupied territories they actually attack in a whole generation and intimidate them this experience will accompany the children for a long long. time even after they are released so it affects their personality and their. life for a long time so having said that why is there not or should there be more international pressure to shine more of
1:18 pm
a light on the system and how this children are treated. unfortunately there is that all you q patient forces are not taking the international pressure. and they are not a boy doing to their responsibilities according to the international law israel is a member state of the convention for the toys of children and the are fully aware about the international standards that they should apply in the cases of minors in the occupied territories and they systematically very late all these standards and all the reports over the condemnation or the statements that they were issued by the u.n. different agencies or other states like the report that was issued a couple of years ago. from the u.k. and including. a commendation lawyers and judges from the u.k. to the u.k.
1:19 pm
government and all the diplomatic ways that complete is used with as little was not there because there is no. like accountability at the end of the day they're not paying the price there is no sanctions imposed on the state very early. in the systematic way so here francis thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it and the un special coordinator for middle east peace says in cairo for talks on preventing an escalation of violence and gaza palestinians have been protesting every friday since march to call on israel to lift the blockade israeli soldiers responded with gunfire killing at least one hundred fifty people strafford reports from gaza. recent weeks of seen the worst escalation of violence between israel and hamas since the two thousand and fourteen war on gaza. israel targeted hamas military bases after an israeli soldier was shot dead by a palestinian sniper on july the twentieth and the mass responded by firing rockets
1:20 pm
towards israel most of which were intercepted by israel's iron dome defense system . another three palestinians including a twelve year old boy were shot dead on friday during protests at the gaza border fence. the u.n. special coordinator for middle east peace nikolai militant office seen here in gaza earlier this month is leading efforts along with the egyptian government for a last thing ceasefire. hamas says it doesn't want war it never holic winds of. efforts are ongoing and we haven't reached a dead end yet the palestinians have a right to protest the israelis are the aggressors and the resistance has a right to defend and recently eight to calm the situation the sea should be completely lifted without delay. there are thirteen different groups in gaza islamic jihad is the second most powerful they disagree with hamas about any future
1:21 pm
reconciliation with the palestinian authority dominated by the rival fatah party but like all factions islamic jihad say they will defend the protesters. a shovelful of the in the end today the palestinian people incapacitated they have tried to use all means to break the siege and failed so now they using weekly protests these israeli soldiers are not snipers they are killers hiding behind their uniforms they have killed our children and elderly people. these really government has been under increasing pressure from some politicians the urging a large scale military operation against hamas and the various dollar factions in gaza after the fires are started by incendiary carrying balloons and quite burnt crops and learned palestinian protesters have launched far fewer of the balloons carrying burning rags in recent days mediation efforts led by the united nations middle east peace envoy in egypt continue and the standoff between hamas and israel
1:22 pm
goes on but both sides know that any provocation risks another war at al-jazeera gaza. iraq's prime minister has suspended the electricity minister after weeks or protests against power outages or public services and unemployment at all a body has imposed curfews and cut off internet access in several cities as unrest continues to spread across southern iraq and the dozen protesters have been killed in confrontations with security forces and one kind of slot for us in baghdad so when it seems that the government cannot continue to ignore these they are actually starting to show some sort of accountability and that's exactly right this is the sacking of suspension rather of the electricity in his accustomed fidelity was announced all in the prime minister's twitter account just a few hours ago it's likely to be seen as possible series of messages listening to the protestors dumond's and trying to get electricity and economic reforms in the
1:23 pm
south where the protests have been the largest are all small scale protests happening throughout iraq today particularly in the south and they're worried the government is worried that those protests will actually escalate their custom for though the electricity minister has actually responded to the suspension saying that he welcomes an investigation into why he was suspended and into what the problems are the electricity ministry now he says that the electricity ministry is simply trying to do the best job it can with the tools that it has but there are massive infrastructure problems iraq simply doesn't have enough power plants doesn't have a reliable city grid and those are long term problems he says so might this be enough to get some of the protests to ease up or is it possible that it's too little too late. well certainly what's happening is those deals being struck with kuwait and saudi arabia with iran also trying get electricity back so yes it's
1:24 pm
likely that they the protesters will be thinking actually the prime minister and the home this is office is trying to do something they are trying to help us but will it be enough and they have to remember the backdrop of all of this is iraq's contested elections the elections took place in may but there was allegations of vote rigging so there's a manual recount going on right now and that manual recount needs to be ratified by the supreme court that hasn't happened yet so iraq has been without a new government for the past few months now what does this mean what means that the big winner in the election legibly so is out of the lead at the siren allowance of very prominent shia cleric and politician he has to make coalitions to be able to take the government to the next level but that's coming under some scrutiny in a lot of problems is running far from smoothly let's take a look now at what's actually going on with iraq's contested election. the big winner in iraq's contested election is expected to be this man looked at also that
1:25 pm
who confidently expects his party to lead the next government once the revised result has been confirmed by the supreme court there's no date for when the supreme court will issue its ruling but it's likely the shia cleric will form a coalition he's a self-proclaimed nationalist suspicious of both iran and the u.s. other shia parties far from united behind him shia islam is the predominant sect particularly in southern iraq so there's a large election win means his party they say don't lie and will choose the next pm to do so will need to make deals with other parties. one of the largest is the victory alliance led by the current prime minister hydrilla body the victory alliance a body is the only choice also that it has for prime minister you know if there is a better candidate. we are open to any but the candidate however i personally think he is in the right place and the situation. we are in that i faced
1:26 pm
choose somebody who we know and i would like to see him in power but also that he is looking beyond just a shia base her coalition partners because of his nationalist starts the communist party of iraq has joined forces with him this kind of for alliance between communist and the movement is probably surprising to many. people but they didn't come as a surprise it was an hour of calm come on activity that come on participation in the protest movement over the years two thousand and seventeen but the smaller parties may not give all southern the influence he so desires over government now his supporters all getting angry so he'll be looking at exactly who can help him to fill his agenda. protests in the south of the demanding energy and economic reform concern also that because many of his supporters are involved with that in mind he
1:27 pm
said all talks about forming a coalition must be suspended until the protestors dogs are heard his call has been popular political observers who have a believe that iraq is headed to once again for a period of political instability that could be dangerous for. the next government is not formed soon then that will have implications the first one will be the own going economic crisis the second one is the potential reemergence of i soul and other affiliated terrorist groups around baghdad and this is all happening in the midst of the rising tensions between iran and the u.s. and this impacts the iraqi political scene. the u.s. and iran are both big players in iraqi politics blocs allied to one or the other any government will have to balance its relationship with the americans and the iranians to try and stop iraq from becoming a political battlefield by proxy as well as managing the demands of the iraqi people imran khan al jazeera. and
1:28 pm

1:29 pm
