i doubt it were not for me someone got in my nickel and in the midlands with heads to see more horse than that is that what and their problem is that we had a much smaller number of what a spare polling station which was supposed to be a thousand and you know that when you plan around with these things you end up massaging into a menacing that is out beyond the limits of what is known and what is common and this is what they did for ten hour discrepancies are common cause is senseless that you would say that they turned out it but i mean there was seventy five percent ziggy's nobody putting an end to five percent turnout for the presidential fare in five fun it might be that people did not vote for the permit but then you must show and revealed that in the parliamentary election what happened to the discrepancy of those ten percent was where this point what then happened to those ports so that is consistent or did they return that we got forty so that it would then appreciate in terms of the election yes what is the way forward we
10:33 pm

guns but we have only even gone further with. so we have been listening there to the opposition leader nelson chamisa addressing journalists following of course the electoral commission and announcing on the day that the ruling was out of p.s. mom and dad what is the president as expected. chamisa reaffirming what he's been saying over the past few days saying that he believes the opposition m.d.c. believes the election was fraudulent and illegitimate again saying that they won the selection and are ready to form the next government will go to our correspondent and now she is joining us live from head adi and passion and. again as i said you know just again reaffirming that they will not accept these results and that they are going to pursue the process is to fulfill the will of the
10:35 pm
people they're going to challenge and number of results chat to try and nullify it so how do they go about doing this now. it sounds like he's planning to go to court with the evidence that he says the party has collected now that could be a slow and long process his officials even himself he said that he doesn't trust some of the judges in the courts who he says arledge the lying to the ruling party so that avenue doesn't work what next he says that his people are entitled to protest is a democratic country but if they do that how will the security forces react given what we saw on wednesday when the army was deployed some analysts are saying maybe he wants international community to follow the story of these developments very very closely and maybe intervene in some way maybe some kind of dialogue between him and president. even saying maybe nelson chamisa once power sharing government
10:36 pm
formed once himself and some of his officials to be given jobs in the government he hasn't said that it's just on the streets so right now of course people have heard what he said. quietly and wait for them to reveal the evidence or some of them become impatient and take to the streets. thank you very much for that who of course be following this situation closely as we have being. the opposition zimbabwe and opposition addressing journalists. we will move on from there for now. a new report by an israeli ngo documents how the israeli government quote controls nearly every aspect of life within gaza researches with the geisha organization obtain information from the government and conducted interviews with people living in the gaza strip they detailed how at least one hundred sixty six people were killed between two thousand and ten and two
10:37 pm
thousand and seventeen by the israeli military while inside a palestinian buffer zone those deaths predate the ones during the recent protests they include farmers herders and scrap collectors the researchers concluded that israel's military often illegally opens fire without warning which results in the deaths and injuries of innocent civilians he also has criticized the israeli imposed limits on fishing off gaza saying it creates insecurity and uncertainty there have been a thousand incidents of life five reported since two thousand and ten while boats and equipment have been confiscated two hundred fifty times the report also documents the regular practice of spraying herbicide on palestinian farmland from the air and it says it's preventing residents from growing profitable crops and utilizing the natural resources that they own well let's get more on the situation
10:38 pm
in gaza now we're joined by michael lang he's the un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territories occupied since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and he's joining us on skype from london in the canadian province of ontario very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so what do you make of this report that you know once again just highlights the near impossible living conditions for people in gaza. well it is as the report indicates and as those who pay attention to get as in the middle east no old guys is going to be one of the most for alone places in the world electricity at most they get eight hours a day for most residents water ninety seven percent of the coastal aqua far in gaza which is the sole drinking source for for gazans is contaminated by either sea water or sewage and unfit for a human consumption suit each because of the lots of electricity the sewage plants can't treat the roughly eight hundred million liters of so each
10:39 pm
a day in gaza that goes on treat it into the mediterranean israel's almost complete closure of gaza by the air land and sea from tears of gaza means that it has virtually no economy left if it cannot treat with the world it's very hard to import materials to begin the reconstruction of those neighborhoods that were devastated by the wars over the last decade again as it has among the highest unemployment rate in the world at around forty percent sixty percent if you consider the gazans under the age of thirty so this amounts in the international law to collective punishment and it's hard to imagine how things could get worse and now we've had as well you know essentially stopped most supplies from going across the kadam obviously lamb crossing is what israel doing and gaza is it violating international no agreements that it has with him off and what the united nations and if mr lincoln what can be done now. well you're right it
10:40 pm
is not as i was just mentioning a minute ago this amounts to collective punishment although israel withdrew its sutlers and its soldiers in two thousand and five because it continues to determine almost exclusively who enters and what enters and what he leaves gaza is considered by many of the international community to still be the occupying power which means that the fourth geneva convention applies before chiva convention is very clear that the occupying power cannot impose collective punishment on a protected population as an gaza so in the opinion of many international scholars who pay attention to this this amounts to illegal collective punishment and as you know and as you mentioned in the over the past month this already very tight walk on gaza has been tightened even further as a result of the burning sites that have been sent from gaza into southern israel
10:41 pm
israel announced three weeks ago that it was closing the only commercial crossing the tarim us alone crossing in southern gaza between israel and gaza and was only going to permit things like food or animal fodder or fuel or medical supplies into gaza and two days ago on the second of the first of august the defense minister of israel of a gore lieberman announced that both fuel and gas are going to be back from the gaza strip until further until further notice mr lang we thank you for your time unfortunately that is all the time we have with mike and then his joining us live from london ontario thank you but there. now the syrian government has been accused of faking the cause of death for thousands of prisoners it's in a report published by to human rights groups the syrian foundation's platform and the human rights and justice movement presented their findings in istanbul
10:42 pm
according to the syrian government eight thousand per person of died due to heart attacks or cancer or other health reasons in the past week alone the group condemns what they call fake death reports. the conflict in syria will soon come to an end and assad's government is trying to find new ways to avoid being judged at the international criminal court to justify their crimes to their supporters they have reported that thousands of people died because of health reasons it's clear these reports are fake. for more on those that go to our correspondents than him she is joining us live from istanbul so what more did these organizations have to say so them about the sudden rise in the issuing of death certificates of syria. well yes elizabeth these this sort of gets have been around for a while actually and al-jazeera correspondents reported there bob that what is
10:43 pm
interesting is about the timing because as you know the syrian regime forces have been advancing in southern syria and they have been a little bit early in declaring a victory especially by saying that they will be attacking in the northern syria so the syrian opposition and the syrian people who have suffered by this suppression of the regime are kind of in a panic and they believe that the syrian regime is kind of close to a political solution by the help of fresh air and other international players underground that's why they are afraid that bashar assad is trying to get away with with the crimes that his regime committed and he is trying to legitimize the situation as the turkish n.g.o.s said they courting to the number since the syrian uprising started two thousand two hundred thousand people have been detained in the syrian prisons and at least nine thousand of them are under the age of eighteen and
10:44 pm
four thousand five hundred of them are women and when we talk to the protesters the activists in the field today they have been telling us about the torture about the other crimes committed against the detainees and especially about the rape issue against women and a young and children as well as so right now the current the official number the ridge is what the regime gives as the number about the detainees is that three thousand seven hundred twenty three people in total are in a syrian prisons but there is no access there is no access to those prisons but we have the up syria who suffered who was a victim insignia most notorious jail of syria let's listen to him elizabeth. while i'm talking there are thousands of people being tortured without food and without medical care in the prisons the regime terms of the family that their
10:45 pm
relatives have died just to close this chapter of detention this is very dangerous and this is the reason why i came here today to tell the world of women children. tortured and lost their lives because of political activity. that was. let's move on now and more than one hundred thirty thousand people have been ordered to shelters around shanghai as. china has raised its alert level at least one hundred and fifty flights have already been cancelled and outdoor activities suspended and caused to thousands of homes in japan. but we're going to end this volatile with live pictures from the capital where it looks like opposition leader nelson is
