told by the people who live down. the master barber of berlin this is europe. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes early election results in sweden show the center left and center right locks the neck and neck and the surge in support for the far right fighting flares again around the day that killing eighty four people after talks to end the yemen's civil war collapse. the barrel bombs and there are strikes continue to fall in hama provinces in syria

taking another hospital out of action. and floats and flags but no missiles as north korea marks its seventieth anniversary with a huge military parade. in school serena williams has been fined seven hundred thousand dollars for her conduct during the u.s. open final. williams accuse the umpire of making a sexist remark during her defeat to an army of soccer. let's begin the news hour in sweden where early results are failed to bring through from an election that could change the country's political landscape now they show the center left bloc led by the prime minister's they from lovin with just over forty percent of the vote his social democratic party has traditionally had the

biggest vote share and that is almost a dead heat with the center right alliance led by the moderates significantly the far right anti immigration anti e.u. sweden democrats led by jimmy ocus and are on track to be the second biggest party with more than so. eight percent of the vote john hall is live in stockholm for us at the headquarters of the center left social democrats so obviously a very good result for the far right of the sweden democrats but perhaps not the political earthquake that some people were predicting. no i think that's probably quite right it's a good result for the sweden democrats of course they've increased their vote share from fourteen percent in two thousand and fourteen to seventeen perhaps eighteen percent now as the vote count goes on but it's nowhere near as good as they were hoping for as much as was predicted by their leaders in just the last twenty four i was talking about twenty or thirty percent that they expected to get that might

have put them in first place and that would have been a real political earthquake so i think the story of the night is that they've not done as well as they hoped as many feared and also the peeling away of support from the mainstream center right and center left parties that have occupied the high ground in politics here for years the social democrats where i'm standing now the main political force here for a century have done have seen their worst result ever but they remain in first place that's a relief for them and a relief for a great many other swedes at the result of the sweden democrats as i say not doing as well as they'd hoped take a look at my report. the center left social democrats have been the biggest party in every swedish election for a century true again this time but not by far and it's a relief it's be their worst result ever the think it's fine the problem now is how can we make it. how can you be governed with this since it's really hard to

see. how true it is not to make a stable government this is an election that seen support shift from the center to the extremes coalition building will be. tough one big winner has been the anti immigrant sweden democrats are not as big as they'd hoped the story of the night is that while the far right has become a force in swedish politics they won't be taking over just yet the rise of the far right in sweden meant voters took to the election with customary enthusiasm even if many harbored deep concerns terrible i just want to cry when i think about it the see. things i mean yeah of course we have a lot of refugees here we need to take care of them they come from a terrible place terrible for us we can't just throw them out because we can't know now sorry i just feel like crying when i think about it immigration and integration

have been front and center in a divisive vote with this country's famous values of tolerance and openness at stake so it isn't in danger of becoming a far right state and nor are the sweden democrats even likely to make it into government no party at this stage will even talk to them but they are likely to continue to exert and in direct influence on the wear head having already succeeded to the horror of many in putting nationalism and identity politics on the swedish agenda peter waller dusky is editor in chief of one of sweden's major daily newspapers the tone has already changed it has changed a lot and i think the major change came in two thousand and fifteen after the big refugee crisis a lot of refugees came in sweden in a very short time span and the systems here didn't work properly a lot of people reacted to that and the sweden democrats are sort of logical

consequence of the well they searched in the polls as a result of that crisis and they've stayed on that kind of result since some swedes will tell you the rise of the far right is overblown that this country has never been happier or more prosperous but extrusion politics are in sweden to state now and many other swedes see trouble ahead. well jonah following on to that final sold there in your report i mean obviously the sweden democrats are not going to be part of any coalition they didn't get in over right to get a majority but they are going to remain a force to be reckoned with as are the issues that they've really kept on pushing through the campaign. oh yes i think that's true i mean the extremes of politics on the left and especially the right now are here to stay very much imbedded in the political this new political landscape in sweden and even if the sweden democrats have done less well than they'd hoped for their leader this

evening jimmy ackerson is talking up this result nonetheless saying look we are the big winners of the night and he's right of course we will now be able to exert a major influence on politics in this country in the weeks to come as the coalition building talks take place or they could be quite difficult and in the years to come and the sweden democrats leaders were saying ahead of this election look we're not expecting a majority of necessarily in this election if we don't get one now though we will get one in four years time they are a force there are a new force on them the landscape in the mainstream political arena here and they're not going anywhere what comes now of course is coalition building the two mainstream blocks from the center right on the center left there's nothing between them whatsoever it will be for the speaker of parliament to decide which one has the better chance of holding together what in effect will be a minority government that may need to have some sort of tacit understanding with

the sweden democrats to be able to survive so you know a big election this a big moment in sweden's history of this country famous for holding up the moral mantle in europe and more further afield than that famous for stable politics for openness for tolerance now having to reckon very seriously with the extremes of politics on the left on the right with anti immigration policies with the idea that people coming into this country are not nearly as welcome as perhaps they want to work and join of course in the past few months and years we've seen other far right parties a gain prominence in there in europe and often what that does is that it changes the political discourse of the mainstream parties so for example is that happened in sweden when it comes to immigration as we perhaps seen the more mainstream parties slightly change their tune over it. ugh more than slightly barbara i mean this is been happening since two thousand and fifteen since

it became apparent with that huge surge of people into sweden a hundred sixty three thousand people which by the way per capita make sweden the country that has taken in more asylum seekers and refugees than any other since two thousand and twelve it became very quickly apparent that this was a major shock to the system in this country that is a lot of people in a pretty small country and it gave immediate rise to a real surge in support for the sweden democrats on the far right which in turn immediately caused a shift to the right among the other parties particularly the leading of the governing rather social democrats are here at their headquarters immigration policy has been massively tightened up in this country it's much more difficult now as an asylum seeker to gain asylum in sweden asylum seekers failed asylum seekers have been sent back to their countries of origin in far greater numbers than they were before it is not nearly as welcoming an environment as sweden would have had the world believed in previous years so yes the sweden democrats have exerted this

indirect influence on politics in this country they don't need to be in government to be able to do that the ideas of the right and of the far right are now well imbedded in the political discourse here. with the latest there from stockland jonas thank you and here on the al-jazeera news hour we'll be looking at the new political reality in sweden a bit more detail in about half an hour or so. or far right protesters of held a rally in the eastern german town of courtin following the death of a twenty two year old man two afghan migrants were detained in relation to his death police have since revealed the victim died of heart failure the two afghans aged eighteen and twenty two were being investigated on suspicion of causing bodily harm and immigration tensions have been high in the region following last month's killing of a mining community southeast of korten it sparked violent right wing protests two asylum seekers in this case

a syrian and an iraqi arrested. eighty four people have been killed in renewed fighting around yemen sports city of her day a day after peace talks in geneva collapsed when the rebel delegation failed to show up hospital sources say that they'd include dozens of who's the rebel fighters and at least eleven government troops are they that has seen heavy fighting between saudi backed government troops and rebels for several months displacing tens of thousands of civilians and to simmons's in neighboring djibouti with more in the space of twenty four hours it's reported that the release sixty s strikes on who date or city and its surroundings and also the province as a whole reports from multiple sources suggest that there were schools of deaths exactly how many in which category is unclear but civilians were amongst them naturally there is fear right across the city right now this is the response of some farmers. eventually you're not going to we're living in fear shrouded day and

night in fear squadrons of forty five warplanes are frequently have written about our hats. with fear we cannot sleep at night yesterday the fire she kept shelling out the living in fear night and day the saudi coalition planes are homeless every single day. a shell hit my neighbor's house it destroyed the wall where my neighbor was sleeping it just missed him by few inches. now the greatest city has a seaport and an airport naturally there military targets if there is a checkpoint if if the lines up cut between her data and sound then that's a disaster not just militarily for the who it is but in humanitarians terms it's absolute catastrophe no martin gryphus warned about this he said that people had to sort of concentrate on the economy he was really forceful in his words but had to

admit that he had not got the talks together he had not been able to separate the passage of the rebels to geneva that's all history now situation on the ground as ever with warfare negotiations are far out of the minds of anyone there is a fight going on a fight that's got much more serious. syria's government has resumed its heavy bombardment of rebel positions and it leaves the province observer groups say helicopters dropped more than sixty barrel bombs on the village of obey to in southern italy and russian jets reportedly carried out more than ten strikes in neighboring hama province stephanie decker reports now from an taqiyya on the turkey syria border. death comes from the sky here. the second day of an escalated air campaign targeting the southern part of syria's it live province and north and how much some people are fleeing their homes to the so far safer north. we came from the south of

italy we're leaving because of the bombing the jets and the artillery they are hitting us with all kinds of weapons we're heading to the north now we expect everything at this stage fortunately there is no other place for us to go to because it will get worse so we are heading to the turkish border at the moment there aren't large amounts of people fleeing the bombardment and that's because the areas targeted are in the countryside and they are less populated now turkey fears if the military offensive moves closer towards the cities that huge numbers could flee towards its closed borders in that situation it's working hard to avoid turkey's interior minister visited the border with syria on sunday and warned against a possible new wave of refugees all of them washed away were migration that will start here will not be our responsibility. turkey has been increasing its military presence along its border has also sent reinforcements into italy the turkish government is the opposition's guarantor in the a stone

a process and has twelve observer posts inside the province if there is an all out conflict the presence of its soldiers could complicate matters there are around through a half million people in the provinces come to represent the symbolic last stand of the opposition inside syria around a million of those who live here now have already been displaced several times during this seven and a half year war and damascus backed by russia and iran has made it clear that it lip will not remain in opposition hands stephanie decker al-jazeera and taqiyya. then this is a genie as an academic an activist in italy he told al jazeera people are fearful but the science people are very worried because it's collation seems to have a started two days ago with airstrikes in the southern part of at least countryside and nothing part of the countryside it's a very horrible situation as people have no choice as to make as the border

is a closed as you said in your report and in the speaker before me and the economy can situation is very horrible as well as people. don't know what to do next what's coming up next and every other day war seems to be bought more potential actually and it covers all aspects of life people are very frightened now. i have to say that they are determined i mean those who confide determined not to leave but to stay and fight and fight because you know can you imagine that half the population of. one point four million people forcefully displaced from other areas of the country and i don't know how many times do they need to be displaced so they have no other choice they are stuck

in the corner. and the main concern for people here just like what happened before that health facilities are going to be the most several targets for the regime and its allies the russians just like attacked and in such a small one last year in africa and two thousand and seventeen when they first started targeting hospitals and health centers and the civil defense around. before they carried out their tack with chemical weapons so that nobody could take any injured person to any health center or nearby hospital. meanwhile russia has accused the united states of dropping phosphorous bombs over their hours or province on saturday also in jordan washington d.c. has more on that. the united states and russia have been at loggerheads in recent weeks over what's happening in eastern syria that's a part of the country where the russians have almost never been since eisel first

moved in back in two thousand and fourteen it's been the united states that has deployed special forces to help train and support rebel fighters as well as kurdish fighters trying to remove the group out of eastern syrian territory however recently russia has been suggesting that it needs to move into the area near darrow's or in order to go after what it calls terrorists the united states repeatedly has warned russia to stay out of the region and in fact says that a thirty five mile deep confliction zone around its garrison. should not be breached by the syrians by the russians by anyone else for that matter now comes this weekend when it appears that the russians are helping syria try to launch an effort to retake it live province in the far north western part of the country but the russians at the same time are now watching that the u.s.

using fighter jets has been dropping false wrist bombs on targets in and around darragh zoar late on sunday a pentagon spokesperson said that there have been no reports it has received about the use of phosphorus bombs indoors or and it also says that its forces at the garrison and tough do not have the capability and don't even have any phosphorus bombs in their arsenal a war of words certainly as the united states is sending a warning to russia and to syria to not precipitate any sort of humanitarian crisis in it look province on the other side of the country nor should the countries use any chemical weapons and their effort to retake it lip for control by the central government in damascus. coming up on the al-jazeera news hour from london iran says it fired the missiles that killed fifteen kurdish fighters in northern iraq on

own forty others injured kurdish military sources said it was the first such attack by iranian forces in more than twenty years matheson reports now from back that. this was the moment on saturday when iran launched an attack against fighters in the north of. iraq the target was a company run by a group calling itself the kurdish democratic party of iran several fighters were killed dozens more injured. this attack in particular was. treated very well timed it was an attack on. the leadership was a meeting on one hand it also demonstrates military prowess. that hit the targets were very precise they had the very room where the meeting was taking place and there was. surveillance to take pictures of this so this also sending

a message that this iran of today is more powerful than the one of a couple of years ago when they try to attack some targets in syria and the missiles were to kill the group is iran's oldest kurdish movement it's been fighting for more autonomy for kurds in iran iranian government says it carried out the attacks because of what it calls terrorist teams attacking revolutionary gaunts in towns inside iran's own kurdish region iran says leaders of the group that attacked on saturday have been ignoring its warnings to dismantle their camps this is a rainy an attack comes just a couple of days after violence on the streets of the southern city of basra which the iranian consulate was one of several buildings that were attacked and burned now there's no evidence to suggest that that incident is in any way connected with this latest attack but iraqis are speculating here that this is iran's way of showing it can strike back and strike back powerfully iran's missile attack has

been condemned by must the former kurdish president he says he's urging all sites not to use the kurdish region to settle their confrontations iraq's foreign ministry has also criticized what it's calling a violation of iraq's sovereignty but it didn't mention iran by name in its statement this is a sensitive time in iraq with protests over corruption and lack of jobs on the streets as well as anger in a stalled parliament and iran has a lot of influence here rob matheson. back down. a palestinian official says the dozens of israeli settlers forced their way into the al aqsa mosque compound in east jerusalem earlier more than one hundred fifty settlers entered the compound accompanied by israeli policeman israel's agriculture minister was among the group the site is sacred to muslims but it's claimed by jews as the location of a former temple and has been

omar al bashir has dissolved the government bashir who's just returned from a major africa china summit in beijing also announced that he's cutting the number of ministries from thirty one to twenty one so than once an economic success story has been struggling since losing two thirds of its all reserves to south sudan back in two thousand and eleven of the in the value of the sudanese found there has stunned that imports and calls the food prices to soar well joining me now to discuss this further is east africa economic and political analyst agnes get out thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera and coming in so first of all was this a surprise to you quite a drastic move doesn't it is absolutely a surprise i'm not sure what he was told in china but it's certainly a welcome move a very difficult political move for almost a shill to take but suddenly one that many people who've been struggling and of

course. crying out to the government to come to come up with an economic vision that helps the people of sudan to afford the busy commodities which has been very difficult in the last sort of decades of course you know about the sanctions and the mismanagement of the economy and the corruption issues in sudan so i mean presumably this is a first step towards something what do you think is wider plan has got to say this has been quite recently just less than an hour ago two hours ago it was announced it's not clear yet it's so suddenly they could only have been struggling and everybody expected there would think it would pick up in october when the sanctions against iran were lifted by prison trump but he didn't and of course these an election in the coming months but next year so i think there's a political plan and obviously one that hopefully will sustain and give the country or the government an upper hand presumably a boost as well when it comes to a popular support because this is the kind of move that you guessing will go. down

world with people here absolutely as are saying you know the government as family we felt the need to be seen to be doing something to appease the public who are struggling as they too are for the busy commodity so suddenly up of this move one but is not not you know side of the politicians have been dropped will obviously be going up again some of the show but is interesting time for sudan i mean you said earlier you wonder what he was told in china when he went to that meeting i mean obviously enormously important links between china and really most of africa including sudan what do you think you might have been told in china you know i think one important thing which the country has been advised by the world bank in their the bigger west is to diversify sudan's economy to move away from other depending on all the in focus on investing in agriculture and the health care which that they have completely failed and also spending so much of the country's revenue on military it's just more country seventy five percent of sudan's budget goes to

military took to the military and security and failing to to invest in other sectors so i think diversify your economy so the chinese can have more power to meet isn't and other countries can have more power to meet it i think that's one message you must have been given i mean you mentioned diversifying the quote kami at me quite stunning that three quarters of the oil output actually went to south sudan and this is two thousand and eleven that the country was created so you know we're talking about seven years and in that time you feel that not enough really has been done to diversify away from oil even though they lost a lot of the output absolutely very easy in an economic vision for sid and they need to come up the next president bashir has clearly said he's not going to be running for the next for the next election but they need to have a clear economic vision i think they can do it it's a very small country quite wealthy with some oil or oil reserves so they can do it but they need to move away a key issue is same core corruption minded they can only it's not rocket science it

can be done and. i'm surprised that they have failed to do it in the last sort of eleven years and of course always blaming the function which he uses to get to get people against the west well i'll be interesting to see how this develops and i hope to be speaking to you about it very soon thank you so much for coming in as usual agnes thank you. now at least one thousand people have died after a plane crashed into a lake in south sudan the aircraft was traveling from juba to year old in the middle of the country local reports say that three children were among the twenty two passengers one of the survivors is an italian doctor who was working for a charity. supporters of an ethiopian opposition party are celebrating the return of its leaders after eleven years in exile patriotic seven had been considered a terrorist organization by the government until parliament voted to lift the label in july several other opposition parties are returning to ethiopia as part of

my nigerian on al-jazeera. welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera and the exhibit hall in sweden suggests the major center left and center right blocks are neck and neck meanwhile the far right sweden democrats looks set to be the second biggest party with one thousand point two percent of the vote that's up from twelve point nine percent in the last election eighty four people have been killed in renewed fighting around yemen sports city of the data hospital sources say the dead include dozens of crews the rebel fighters and syria's government and russia have resumed their heavy

bombardment of rebel positions in it live in hama province ahead of a possible ground offensive. to get more now on our top story the swedish elections results still coming in and concerns that like other recent elections in europe it has been subject to interference from russia where we can speak the patrick he's a political editor and writer and joins us now via skype from uppsala near stockholm surfeit you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so perhaps not the total political change of landscape that some people were predicting and certainly the democrats are not the biggest party but they have seen a huge increase since the last election so beyond the anti migration sentiment or including that as well what do you think were the main drivers behind it. well i was would like to to add some remarks about this down there right now in the

election and they are right now the fog largest part of the suite and democrats are not in the second place this weekend conservative party tends to be a better them than expect that down and i think this will also it's down than i thought they were coming in on the thought place but if you look at this weekend democrats would say that beside that the immigration have managed to attract voters on the marginal issues in a swedish political landscape being against you being against abortion i'm being skeptical about the climate and so on so they have to add up these marginal groups and created a political movement of this content people discontent with it with the globalization and the free trade as well. in other elections and europe and elsewhere of course there have been accusations of foreign influence or operations and the swedish security service just last week that actually announced there had been an increase

of foreign influence on these elections compared to the previous ones especially on the internet so what more can you tell us about that and how much that changes the support for groups like sweden democrats. i would like to describe the situation in sweden bit like what we saw in the german election it's been a long term work from from russia to. to poor to the extreme right groups and the feed to migration sentiments they amplified the messages of this this contempt in society we haven't seen any big operations during the election campaign but on the other hand things have gone a bit well for the russian perspective with both the left party and the sweden democrats increasing their strength in in this election and they are both against nato and they were both against e.u.

and when it comes to nato sweden's an interesting country because of course it's not part of nato per se but it does support it and especially some of the military exercises or how does that change or have you sensed that change a shift in the relation to wards nato by voters in sweden. well in this election we can see that the major party is strengthening their position in parliament but i don't expect this will have any influence on security and defense during this mandate period whoever will form the government if it will be the social democratic party or the conservative party being a leading the government so so i think the impact will be very minor during this man that period but if you will look at have for the future of course it's hard to tell the long term effects of this success in the election. ok we're going to have to leave it there patrick oxana political editor from what expound

newspaper sir thank you for sharing your thoughts with us thank you. rights groups in russia say police have detained more than eight hundred people protesting against plans to raise the retirement age thousands of supporters of jailed opposition leader lakes and valley marched in towns and cities across russia the protests coincided with elections for new mayors and governors under the proposals both men and women would wait an extra five years to start receiving a pension plans which are currently going through parliament have reduced president putin's popularity rating by fifteen percent. from. these actions by the police of very strange and outrageous people came peacefully without they did not disrupt public order and to act against them using batons and arrests is outrageous this does not correspond to the spirit of the constitution i

hope the police officers will be punished and their managers will be released and there was sponsibility is. kosovo's president has urged restraint as a serb counterpart visits the region this despite the pair cancelling talks on friday when they were meant to discuss a few should paratroops swap men to improve ties between the two countries alexander address the huge rally in the serb dominated city of which could be part of that land swap but he was blocked from visiting other places sunny day yeah go now reports. this was the message that these kosovo war veterans wanted to send to serbia's president aleksander of which each had been determined to visit a serbian habited village surrounded by nobody in population the local mayor a man who had lost his entire family in a crackdown by serb forces twenty years ago made it clear that he would not be welcomed. fifteen thousand people were killed here during the war and thousands are

still missing the serbian president cannot pass through here without apologizing for the crimes that were committed by serbia the wounds run deep in this corner of the balkans. and patriotic fervor runs high serbia lost control of kosovo nearly twenty years ago after a bitter conflict with rebels fighting for an independent state nato as a defense and eventually bought the fighting to an end but the government in belgrade has never accepted cost of his two thousand and eight declaration of independence addressing one of the most nationalist serve communities in the region was always going to be a challenge from east of which the community has always railed against compromise but compromise is exactly what mr woods has been urging saying that war and violence of any serve to isolate the serb community here. the idea is to save our people our country our institutions to preserve peace and

at least try to build bridges of trust towards the albanian. to strive for an agreement even when we know it's nearly impossible because the alternative leads up to an abyss and catastrophe. the crowd may have listened and politely applauded but not quite prepared to let go of the past. we got the message that we should continue to stay here to fight for kosovo until we die even then our children will carry on. we have to continue our presence here and i believe better days are coming those hopes rest on how both serbs and albanians can not only live together but also thrive this is one of the poorest regions in europe and both communities are equally affected joining the european union would many here hope help financially but there is much that needs to be done for that to happen missing the only memory of them that the we have no other alternative serbia cannot continue to talk of accession to the you approach to normalizing relations with kosovo and

kosovo in turn needs to fulfill its obligations prior to the parliament elections in the coming spring and in a region where the effects of war are still felt so vividly the instability oberth misty has blown up into conflict its leaders must tread a careful path to ensure that a peaceful solution can be made strong enough to withstand any potential in the rest. of the u.k.'s former foreign minister boris johnson has been criticised for the scribing the prime minister's breck's a deal as a suicide vest around the british constitution which hands the detonator to the european union john sutton who resigned his post over his opposition to to resign may's clans from the comments in the newspaper home secretary. said the former london mayor could have used more measured language the u.k. is due to formally leave the european union in march of next year. supporters
