former leader robert mugabe endorses the opposition candidate the head of monday's presidential election. and inflaming tornadoes spreading wildfires destroy homes families and livelihoods in northern california. the opposition in cambodia is calling for protests after the ruling party claimed victory in sunday's election which has been widely described as a sham by human rights groups prime minister hun sen who's been in office for over thirty years is accused of voter intimidation but last year he dissolved the main opposition party whose leader is in jail awaiting trial for treason when he joins us live now from phnom penh when someone's been the reaction so far to the election result. we're done i think most independent observers critics of what has been going on in cambodia for quite some time say well the transformation is complete now cambodia can now be called

a one party or thora tarion state i think no one was surprised by the fact that the cambodian people's party of prominence still in sand won the election of course but perhaps a little surprised by the margin of victory one hundred fourteen seats out of one hundred twenty five one by the c.p.p. in the national assembly there was some suspicion before the election that perhaps they would redistribute some of that support to some of the other smaller parties to create the image or at least try to create the image of a multi-party thriving democracy well that didn't happen at all only two other very small parties won seats in the election and neither of those will be of any threat to the reign of the c.p.p. going forward some international reaction as well and we've heard from the australian government they say they have serious concerns as the minister of foreign affairs julie bishop and they've made those concerns known to the cambodian government a slightly stronger statement from the united states from the office of the press

secretary of the white house saying that the elections were neither free nor fear and the u.s. will consider additional steps to respond to what unfolded in cambodia on sunday and when so what can the band opposition do now following this election. well as you mentioned there has been a call for protests that has come mainly from sam rainsy he is the former president of the c.n.r. p. he's in self-imposed exile in france avoiding arrest over a variety of charges and convictions against against him he said in an interview after the election results were announced that he would like to see peaceful protests take place it's difficult to see how that can happen really for a couple of reasons it's very dangerous we've seen violent crackdowns against political protests many times in the past in cambodia including after the last general election in two thousand and thirteen which the c.m. api almost one in one would imagine that that would be the case again if there were

to be protests this time and the other problem is daryn is that none of the senior leaders really are in cambodia any more senior leaders of the c.n.r. the most of them fled late last year fearing a wrist following the arrest all of the current president of the party kim who's still in trouble and in jail awaiting trial on treason charges we are expecting to hear more from a couple of those leaders of the party the holding a media conference which is just underway in the indonesian capital of the capital jakarta so we may know more about their plans very soon going forward or into wayne hey there in compound wayne thank you. now a teenage palestinian activist who was jailed for kicking and slapping an israeli soldier has been released from prison seventeen year old i had to meet the urge people to continue to fight against the israeli occupation of palestinian lands understands as a story from not a solace in the occupied west bank. but we all dread jail ordeal much the same as

hundreds experienced by young palestinians every year but the case of how to mimi is profoundly different with her mother now a man who shared jail time with her she was greeted by her father i had to mimi is already being portrayed by palestinians as an icon of resistance to the occupation who do not love. she spoke on a range of political issues including gaza and the rights of children in israeli jails to get education in the city examined and she managed to do after pressuring the all sources later she told out zero she was deprived of some rights in jail to enter a geisha and was really hard i was subject to sever violations the enter to get her used seen words to me there were no female soldiers there and i have a right to that i had two male interrogators questioning me also as a minor they didn't even charge a family member to be there which was my rights people are describing you as an

icon do you intend to take up politics perhaps and. maybe with time when i'm able i might think about the coming couple of this and at some point. the prison sentence was for this head slapping israeli soldiers outside her home filmed by her mother never mind the video went viral then it was arrested a short time later her mother was also detained a father who spent most of his life as an activist with several prison terms says he's both proud and sad i had lost that side of her. teenager. can't live normally i feel i feel some guilty because we can't in the basin and it's become the do it and that is what. her father is probably right when he talks about his daughter's life changing for good at the heart of it all is social media the battle over imagery and symbolism and this is the face the palestinians

and the israeli security forces expect to represent more defiance to the occupation . maybe a start and not an end to her actions andrew simmons al-jazeera the cellar in the occupied west bank well to many israelis was discussed in the meeting of the israeli cabinet the agriculture minister called her a terrorist. i think israel acts too mercifully with these types of terrorists and others israel should treat harshly those who hit its soldiers we can't have a situation where there is no deterrence deterrence leads to that reality we see now you can change that we must change. a boat loaded with aid for gaza has been intercepted by the israeli navy and is being escorted to the port city of ashdod it was one of two boats attempting to break the twelve year blockade of gaza by israel and egypt it set off from palermo in italy

a week ago carrying twenty two people including some israeli citizens. saudi media says gunman of shot dead the head of intelligence security for aid near port in yemen and also macquarie was killed by masked gunman no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack there's been a recent rise in attacks on government officials including high ranking security officers. and the saudi led coalition in yemen says its destroyed launch sites being used by who the rebels in the western province of sada these images released by saudi arabia's government run by your t.v. are said to show the coalition strike on one of the missile sites. zimbabwe's opposition leader nelson chamisa has been reported to the police for holding an unlawful press conference on the eve of elections when campaigning is not allowed earlier chamisa received endorsement from an unlikely source the former

president robert mugabe who said he was the only viable candidate well now the zanu p.f. leader and current president. has accused the pair of striking a deal from harare his arm. it's the second time robert mugabe has spoken to reporters since he was forced from office last november his reappearance hours before monday's general election was a surprise so was what he said he says he won't be voting for the really exotic vs the party he laid for so long or endorse his successor. the m.d.c. we. do or do. i have made. it through remembrance of him or. liked he's. i think.

the leader of the main opposition nelson chamisa says he welcomes every vote he can get it is not made judy is it kind of going to choose what are we going to this election to choose what it is we are going to be chosen so if someone says they are likely to have a favorable disposition in my favor we're mine to deny that extra vote that will make the fundamental win that we want when. the ninety four year old says being forced from office by the army was unconstitutional it is one of the last race and greater in african literature their supporters say is that of influence in the ruling party and what he says could influence how some people vote. and the opposition alliance have pulled in relatively large crowds at campaign rallies some analysts say monday's election could be a tight race was a major weakness might be the fact that you may have some people supporters who may

still be sympathetic to robert mugabe and therefore may not fall for him and may decide for the opposition also some is on the other hand as a primary challenge of having had to have a quick fire campaign a divided opposition but also not so much of a campaign in the rural areas of. president when i got says he's confident he's going to win and that the election will be free and fair international observers have been invited for the first time in sixteen years have said a credible poll could help in international isolation after decades of political and economic instability. but blessing zuma was a journalist a voice of america's new service he says there have been hints recently that mcgarvey would support the opposition. of course to some in the ruling zanu p.f. party it might be a surprise but the last campaign rallies the opposition leader advocate knows and

he had been hinting was going to endorse him so i can say for those who are following chamisa this did not come as a surprise even yesterday when he is a star rally in harare he did say that he had the picking or former president. it is very surprised again also curious the time that our president mugabe decided to come out and seemingly those mr. everyone is trying to take advantage of that mr. may be thinking that there are some people within the ruling party was too big president robert mugabe and mr we understand he had attempted to win that endorsement by sending some in these areas like a former foreign affairs minister or tums him be and others but he did not mr mugabe's baking and now he's bashing both mr mugabe and mr for seeking

firefighters that continue to work this blaze and you'll see a lot of the smoke in the air still as well step over that power line they're not letting residents back in here and that's the reason why is because there's power lines still down and the area is still too very dangerous for people to come in here it's still in an evacuation zone we're at right now look at this another example of the force of this fire just ruhr through this car here and this is a fire that's not even close to contained yet firefighters are saying it's so bad that they're really not even trying to stop this fire at this point they're just trying to get people out of the way because there are other communities here that have not been burned down yet like this one that are in the path of the fire and that's what's really worrying firefighters here. the publisher of the new york times says u.s. president donald trump has misrepresented

a private meeting they held two weeks ago earlier on sunday trump tweeted that he had a very good and interesting meeting at the white house with a publisher of the new york times where they spent much time talking about the vast amounts of fake news being put out by the media and how fake news has morphed into the phrase enemy of the people sat well a short time later the times published a response saying the meeting was supposed to be off the record but trump's tweeted made it public the times publisher says he accepted the invitation to raise concerns about trump's deeply troubling anti press rhetoric solve the also asked not to attack why the journalism if he was unhappy with coverage about his presidency well danny a little as a reporter for politico dot com he explained why donald trump continually attacks the media. the reason that trump is maligning the media and trying to discredit us is that he is not happy with the way he is covered and with the

constant scandals and terms of the muller investigation michael cohen russia the white house palace intrigue with you have people in his own white house fighting against each other in the media using people like me and you to settle their scores he does not want his supporters and other republicans and independents to buy into that and in many ways that's worked if you talk to most trump supporters they can't even read the new york times or c.n.n. they just believe it's fake even though the people who are in our shoes we're just trying to do our jobs you know i don't care how my reporting affects democrats or republicans i just want a good fair and accurate story and a lot of americans it's going to take a long time to change their mind on trusting the media again because of trump's rhetoric and also the which is the baited abetted by fox news which you know
