some incidents in the north including the killing of the head of a polling station in the region of timbuktu not clear yet why this man was killed nor the identity of the people who killed him also reports of a very low turnout in the north and that has been expected because of the insecurity that's widespread there in the north and in the center of the country. expectations here about the president will win this vote by a large majority the opposition has failed to united socks and the opposition leader the man running against. a c.c. has made a strong call to opposition leaders to stand behind him but they have many of them have refused to do that so the conclusion that insults of this election are highly expected as a big win for president abraham book akita. after twenty two years of negotiations

the leaders of russia iran kazakhstan azerbaijan and turkmenistan have scientific we meant on the legal status of the caspian sea it means the five countries can now move ahead with sharing out the resource rich in land body of water which is the largest in the world or a challenge has this report from moscow. with the signature of five leaders more than two decades of troubled waters could be receding into history the disputes over the legal status of the caspian sea has been churning since the collapse of the soviet union. in kazakstan four of the u.s.s.r. successes states and iran took a big step towards resolving it is that because you have passed the security and stability on the caspian sea are determined by the convention which we have signed naturally it opens a wide perspective for the type cooperation of the caspian states for solving economic and transport issues these questions will improve the living standards of our peoples have cheney and that he has some admonish and we have shown in this

convention that we stick to the principles of fairness although we did not determine the borderlines we mark that the countries with the coast of particular significance should take a special position that includes iran the dispute is centered on whether the largest inland body of water in the world is a lake or a sea defining it a lake would mean the caspian should be divided equally amongst the five countries but if it's a c. then each state gets a share in proportion to the length of its shoreline the new agreements is that it's not quite either not a lake because of its size and not a sea because it's not connected to the world's oceans so the surface will largely be open for joint use whereas the floor will be divided between russia iran turkmenistan azerbaijan and kazakstan though the exact size of each country's lot is still to be agreed. at stake several trillion dollars worth of oil gas and

pipelines for years the full economic potential of this is being blocked by the lack of a settlement the u.s. government estimates caspian gas could boost global production by twenty seven percent over the coming decade but it's not just about energy. which it which to security is very important and this is what underpins our agreement this region has an influence on afghanistan on the middle east this really affects the basic interests of our states and we need to pull together to combat the threat of terrorism and trans boundary criminality these summits also makes the caspian sea a lockout zone these leaders don't want anyone else meddling on their water has no country that doesn't share the shoreline will be allowed a military presence there rory chalons al-jazeera moscow. still to come on al-jazeera yemeni families prepare to bury the children killed after the school bus was hit by an airstrike. three two one zero

solar could all of this sort of caught on is the external atmosphere of the sun we see charged with energetic particles magnetic fields is very thin kind of blast much but it interacts with the earth this sun and the air interacts through this sort of corona and we get all these kind of radiation particles super tommy particles so magnetic fields distort us is really magnetic storms that affect our satellites and they probably have the disable some of our satellites out on the earth they can produce enormous damage to. our power distribution networks here on the grid so the earth can produce a massive blockhouse death has happened several times in the past when we have very powerful magnetic storms in the sun so we need to learn more about all these things and this is the mission of these spacecraft. mexico city is one of the most congested cities in the world with huge traffic jams are

a regular part of people's commute but now motorists are being treated to an unexpected surprise when they hit the red lights on homeland has this report from mexico city. turns red image to city and something extraordinary happens. this is the idea of a then tear a ballet company working with the mix to city government to take don'ts to the masses in this traffic choked city means here. is the satisfaction for every. ballerina to dance on the stage to reach all kinds of different people and see their reactions much closer than just from an assigned sea watching you from every side. motorists and protest streams you catch the performance earl italy and all. of it makes you think oh i never seen something like that here that belongs in a theater and to see it in the street you just say wow. it reminds us what we

really are because sometimes the daily routine can make us mechanical this brings us back to ourselves. a bit that to classics like swan lake and the not to fit exactly in the fifty eight seconds between lights. it made other adjustments to special non-slip shoes and changes in routine for less jumps on the hard road on cold days like this one they have to warm up for an hour and a half before performing the sacrifices are worth it they say to try and reach a new audience there are a couple of places where plays available and affordable like that lead to mr city but the common perception is that it's something out of the race and that's what the company trying to get a little taste the change the perception and leave people searching for more and also as you can ok in this bus with it on it's own thing i think i'm betting the space of those in transit is a little like saying hey we're part of your society and we'd like you to come and

see us or invading your space why don't you come to us why don't you take a chance and watch a performance in its entirety the other after about twenty five lightning performances in one hour it's all over until they pop up at another traffic light somewhere else in the capitol. dome home an al-jazeera mexico city. and you can find more features and yes on our website the address for that is dot com take a look. hello again you're watching us is there and here's a reminder for our top stories and see far right protest is taking place in washington d.c. the demonstration is set to can side with a protest organized by unite the right in support of what they call white civil rights it's been a year since white supremacist rally turned violent in the u.s.

city of charlottesville leaving one person dead and dozens of people gathered there to mourn the victims of last year's violence john hendren has this report from the far right protest. you can see just from the sheer numbers of the public sentiment is not with these protesters there right when you're here variously outnumbered in public opinion but they are not widely supported this is a very small group making a very big stories. a polling station official has been killed in an attack by an armed group in northern mali this asked mali and vote in presidential runoff likely to return the incumbent ibrahim boubacar cater to power of the first round of voting in july was marred by violence with three election workers killed and voting materials destroyed opposition leaders. who won nearly eighteen percent in the first round alleges voting fraud some six thousand additional troops have been deployed. to twenty two years of negotiations

a landmark deal has been signed which could settle a territorial dispute over the caspian sea the leaders of russia kazakhstan iran turkmenistan and azerbaijan which all border the caspian sea met at the cuz i support city of they've signed a convention on the legal status of the sea paving the way for more energy exploration and pipeline projects how to divide the area between the countries which has been the biggest cause of the dispute well require additional agreements . taliban fighters have attacked police headquarters and other government buildings in god's name as the battle for the south eastern afghanistan city enters its third day u.s. aircraft have conducted at least four air strikes in support of afghan national forces. and an explosion in northern syria has killed at least thirty six people including civilians a call so the blast is unclear but opposition activists suspect a rebel arms depot was detonated. although so the headline stay with us now for

talk to us is there that's up next. and. you can. say who's sane has been the united nations high commissioner for human rights since twenty fourteen in those four years the attacks on people safety and dignity seem to have reached into all corners of the world me and mars campaign to drive hundreds of thousands of ethnic or him out of the country the abuse and denial of asylum heaped on migrants fleeing war and economic deprivation the carnage left

behind in the civil wars in yemen and in syria as well as in those parts of syria and iraq once controlled by. one would think the calls on countries to do better would have been welcomed but the high commissioner has been criticized for pointing out where countries have failed to preserve human rights we discuss why human rights are under more pressure than ever and what should be done to protect them when say that hoddle hussain talks to al-jazeera. thank you for talking to al-jazeera thank you summer we're coming up on the end of your tenure and i wanted to ask you first just to get this out of the way he didn't ask for a second term you didn't think you would get the backing of the permanent five members of the un security council and the thinking is a hussein is just too vocal zaid speaks his mind too much he's not diplomatic

enough. why not get the p five on the record and say we needed someone who wasn't going to be so forward leaning on trying to get the world to respect human rights it's a good question i never really assume when i took this job that i would need to supplicate or need to prostrate myself before governments. because the office itself yes it's a part of the u.n. but it's also part of a broader human rights movement and the job of high commissioner is to be effectively the ambassador of human rights and what does that mean it means that you have human rights law and you have all been gay sions upon states to abide by the law and where they don't do so you have to then defend the victims who either

are deprived of their rights or the discriminated against when it comes to their rights or they live in fear and so my job was not to defend governments that can do that themselves my job boys to defend together with my office very proud to defend to defend the rights of everyone else individuals and in that sense i knew early on that i'm not going to have the backing for of the. permanent members of the security council in actual fact i would be concerned if i was on the outside and i saw that a high commissioner had won support of the p. five because i would suspect that they haven't done their job properly it almost goes without saying that the permanent five enjoy a privileged status here in new york by dint of the use of veto in the security council in geneva they don't just one forty seven members on the human

rights council if the serving on the human rights council and and so we in the human rights community look at their records in the same way we look at anyone else's records and assumption it's not just an assumption they don't like that so i knew it was going to be possible you raised eyebrows when you spoke at the refugees conference here a couple of years ago and there said we're here big. does we as a global community have failed us people are so desperate that they're getting into a kitty ships and paying thousands of psalms you know to people who don't have their welfare at heart yes and we're here because we haven't found the will to stop that from happening that's the reason that is that your biggest regret now it's an acknowledgment of failure and that's why we have these contacts if we were doing everything correctly there's no need for everyone to gather and meet and discuss i

mean it has to be placed into perspective this the number of peoples on the move globally. sort of is in the range of about four maybe four point five percent so ninety five an hour and i ninety five percent and above of people on this planet aren't static i mean they stay within their countries right so all of this hysteria that we see in this planet can be the trending toward the more extreme demagoguery is as a result of the small percentage of people who are actually moving across the planet and what does that xenophobia come from we see it here in the west we see it in central europe we see it in parts of southern europe we see it in some parts of india where does that come from well it comes from the recognition by politicians that tactic works whatever the ills in society whatever the miscues by previous

government's inability of previous governments or indeed present governments to cope with current circumstances well then you pin point the blame on a particular community that seems different it seems alien that is vying for jobs and you. turn the hatred on them this is an overt device the sad part of it is that it works and people tend to out of fear adhere to it. and the politicians know it but there is a cautionary note is that the cautionary tale to this and that is that the logical extension of it is a sour outcome if you. get chauvinist mash an ism a bigotry. racist on the current moving and it reaches a certain pitch traditionally when we look at the historical record it's not easy

to suddenly dismantle it and what you tend to find is that conflict arises out of it because suddenly you're telling a people that are no longer special that they're no longer somehow or superior to others that we're all in the same rights that we all have those rights and need to be treated equally whether on the basis of gender ethnicity you know whatever the circumstances may be good thoughts on the show about slot coming in as your successor. well i'm fortunate enough to know her personally and i encounter as a friend we worked together when she was head of un women and i couldn't be more delighted i think she has proven her credentials both as a leader within the u.n. and as head of state of her own country and someone who really part of her life was subject to coercive practices and torture. you know you have

a political leader of great substance and and. really strong willed so i couldn't be delighted and i've been looking forward to your transition from meter to her when we discuss north korea or d p r k it's all about killing young nuclear ambitions there seems to be absolutely no public discussion or urgency about its appalling human rights record. what pressure can you bring in your final weeks on the job to remind people this isn't about just north korea's military but the millions of people who have suffered under three leaders i would dispute that it's been forgotten i mean perhaps in the context of the the immediate discussions that. seem to be

taking place it's not being mentioned but i don't think it's it's easy for anyone to think that given the severity of the human rights violations detailed in the kirby commission's report but also by our office and that work is continuing and ongoing there is a fear that if the negotiations were to mature that somehow these issues would be downgraded and that's that's a fear we have for the respect to many. conflicts that begin to wind down and during the conflict there's a strong record for accountability that the perpetrators would be punished and as we work our way through the peace agreements and then when people say not now not now and we leave it till you know a few years when it's cool down a bit what we find though is that later in the comes even more difficult and you can all the victims need to feel that they're at the center of these negotiations that their pain is being attenuated and if you don't do that then it becomes

problematic so we'll watch the d.p. r. k. file closely and i'm sure my successor successor will and if we see that it's been it's basically been pushed off the table certainly we're going to be speaking about it and we speak about it quite regularly do you fear that even though he has the legal right to do so that kim jong il could be addressing the general assembly in september but i don't know i mean that i don't know and i mean you asked me a question and i haven't really given much thought about. but i mean the position that does it create the wrong impression that he's been well very bad well i think i think i mean clearly there were two would raise a lot of eyebrows and i mean the position of the u.n. as i understand it is that if you're indicted by an international court for. the atrocity crimes crimes against humanity war crimes crimes of the.

crime of genocide then it should be really be impermissible for you to turn up in new york. but if there hasn't been a charge like that it's it's it's the evidence is still being collected although there's very strong indications of them or severe human rights conditions exist. and certainly there would be a lot of criticism of the un and high commissioner or an ex high commissioner wouldn't feel comfortable with that when you talk about technicalities that's certainly been the case in recent developments in the democratic republic of the congo. out of prison is filed his papers to run for president he was convicted of war crimes in the central african republic what happened here how did we get to this point. well i haven't read the judgment of. the appellate judgment of the i.c.c.

certain one way i don't want to go into it because i need to read the judge right and then on the stand and certainly there were those within the international criminal law community who had their own feelings about the decision. but i would need to read myself and then form an opinion surgeon would be premature for me just to say anything about it but you can understand of course there are communities in the city there are but maybe limited there and even within that there are seeing who would see it as an audience. decision by the appellate body. on the other hand you know that's right legal systems in the world across the world we have decisions by courts that often arises reaction strong reactions it's not to say the system has served but the system gives an interpretation which seems could seem to be at odds with the jurisprudence that was generated hitherto i need

to look at the actual details before commenting on them but isn't this a case that we're not talking about a sovereign governments justice system we're talking about something that was set up and agreed to by the national community and that. all of the talk when he was convicted a decade ago and one of its validity of it acquiring a real sense of dealing with these sorts of atrocities may now have been undermined where do you it is that if this is an aberration if this is an arbor in the city and the you know it will reset itself or we've seen this before in terms of other other decisions taken by international courts or tribunals the question is is it an aberration or not and i have to read the decision and clearly the you know the judges felt that they had had come up with a decision which they. you know warranted the acquittal of jump.

and and i do need to see the decision before coming to the very edge would be really improper for me to say something and then you lost me another question in the studio and i had to turn or what i actually said in terms of the reason i'm put forward so i do need to see that syria. yes there seems to be a growing consensus that bashar assad is winning the war has he gotten away with war crimes. but i you know the at the moment we have an accountability mechanism it's collating evidence that's going to continuing to collect evidence. the evidence has also been directed toward it from the commission of inquiry that's the operation and. one would believe that there would be a strong push for accountability for truth telling that too many victims too many

people have suffered in this cruel war to just let it pass to have it somehow forgotten and i would believe that there will be a time of reckoning for the president for senior leadership and for others who are thought to have committed the murders ghastly crimes in syria where does that reckoning happen well it's the security council well no it's a reckoning before the victims before a court i mean we saw at the end of last year a number of things happened. where those who had perpetrated crimes many years ago must have thought they got away with it and for a while they did but then in the end right come not a choice convicted by the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia they were to form a argentine offices who were convicted for their role in the dirty wars the

so-called dirty war many years ago there was a salvadorian colonel who was extradited from the u.s. to spain to face detention the charges on account of alleged in volved mentor the killing of a jesuit priest and el salvador in one thousand nine hundred nine in other words there activists lawyers journalists the world over who are collecting evidence preparing evidence and and people may who have been complicit in the commission of war crimes and certainly if they were the sort of intellectual officer may. at some stage here comes to bribe that they may have got away with it and that they had been doing in any case something they believed was heroic and patriotic and perhaps it began to dawn on them later that maybe not so that maybe these are crimes against humanity and war crimes and and then time caught up with them so you know it's yes there's a third to demand the need by certainly victims groups to see someone who they

believe has created so much suffering you know are held to account in a court of law but it sometimes takes longer and sometimes painfully long time to get there but eventually i would hope in a context like syria that there will be justice for the victims of israel palestine the passage of the nation state law in jerusalem is it understandable is it problematic and i said before and publicly it's clear it's that it's discriminatory and i don't see how else you could package an argument which makes sense to me. that states any objective observation of all of this and that's how we see it as an office that seems to be discriminatory and all so what happens if you're an israeli and you're not also jewish. but i know you know it's

a class right and you know obviously you fear that the law would be discriminating against you and it's clear i mean there is and there's been a reaction by various leaders of the community and the arab israeli community of course that's made its views known it's wrong now and it's and you know you in human rights terms again. to achieve any sort of stability tranquility three conditions need to one is that you don't discriminate about against people in your own country on the basis of race ethnicity color gender and so forth to that you don't deprive parts of your. community subject to those discriminations from the large us of the state and keep them sort of without protection social protections three but you don't have people live in fear in your country.

and you have to remove that sense of fear and instill within them a respect for institutions of trust in institutions where basically they feel they will be treated fairly and if they feel they will be treated fairly then there's little basis for then maintaining a sort of fearful state and so when you don't do those things then of course you you create tensions within society in theory but it's played on not everyone is sad to see you go there i'm sure a lot of happy but no the israeli ambassador danny dano and sent out a statement saying this and i quote during his tenure at the h.r. see became a theater of the absurd human rights council with hypocrisy and double standards rampant among its proceedings and reports. well look the ambassador i don't know

the ambassador to be honest i mean he's never come to geneva i find it sort of quite strange that he talks of human rights and i assume that he knows very little about it. i am not the president of the human rights council so for one it's a sort of conflate the two is it's nonsense but he said some of the things about me i mean i don't take him seriously because again he's not a human rights person and i've known many israeli ambassadors worked with them and they seem to be in a serious about these issues. he's never come to geneva we've never discussed these issues. i don't take much or touch much importance to and says the well being of women activists in saudi arabia. have they been forgotten but i don't know if they've been forgotten are certainly our offices talked about we're talking about them yes and we are concerned i mean any time when you have a number of activists arrested we worry about. whether it be an arbitrary

arrest on direction or policy at the direction of policy and so i'm sure my office opened up the channels and we want to understand what led to this exactly why has it set up and we would all naturally want to see earliest possible release and certainly if there are charges that should be released immediately and even if there were charges we need to understand what exactly they've been charged with are there other places around the world that you don't think get enough attention because of how their citizens are fairing or not fairing. i've had some people in to talk about the situation nicaragua as one example yeah i mean again if it's whether we in our office are missing things i tend to think generally when we do a good job i mean the maybe certain things that we don't see mediately and then we

were alerted to by a specific n.g.o.s specific group that will say you know you need to look at this because it's really becoming dangerous and we weren't we were certainly do that nicaragua as a country i'm very worried about because as they conduct these sweeps and they're arresting detaining. young activists who are associated with the protests we need to be assured that these people are not being harmed and very concerned about the possibility of disappearances and forced disappearances and potentially. of course torture that and all of this we need to understand what is going on so i'm i'm talking to others i have been in touch with people in this country and we talk to the europeans need to talk to the oas and the i.c.c. but we need to or keep a very close eye on nicaragua because i very much fear for the stability of the

state if the current government's policies are. continued and there is no accountability for what we saw was and it was horrific violence mainly by state actors and by the paramilitary. forces involved you're stepping away at a rather contentious moment you know for the world you know what do you do now i need to. i need to spend time with my my son and i have been away from them for four years. so i have to reintroduce myself to them. a little bit of a rest and then i'll pick up a gun on the i'll sign something not too distant from the work that i've been doing just fine so people have not heard the last of you i don't think so i better things . but i may need to rest before i pick it up. who do you see.

coming behind you who is in the next generation of human rights advocates sit risen young people who lead to protest movements who are courageous are willing to give everything out and who are very reasoned by they understand the dangers to understand what could potentially happen to them and yet they would still do it that is real leadership from me and much more so than many politicians from masquerade as needed and are very concerned about. protocol issues whether the first speaker in a particular conference there whether they're untitled or the excellent season i don't know what. i find many of them not just frauds rid of the not the not serious the serious people all the young human rights defenders. who are stake everything on account of principle i think there is an incredible need to ship there are many

on song and many of them are not really known but they're out there and they're the hope of humanity say a crowd of say high commissioner for human rights thanks so much for talking to us on al-jazeera thank you so much you've been looking to see. al-jazeera follows the lives of people in the heart of immigrant communities. in six major cities across europe. the stories we don't often have

told by the people who live them. and a brand new documentary series this is year a coming soon on al-jazeera. whether online this isn't some abstract issue we need to be attached to their steps or if you join us on sect rather than stopping terrorism it's creating a base is a dialogue and just the community is want to add to this conversation we need a president who's willing to be a villain or a short while everyone has a voice i'm part of civil society i do talk but i never get listened to by those in it or the folks who join the global conversation. on out to zero. this was wrong to teach children away from their parents and herd them into
