2:00 am
let alone marry a chinese but today marriages ideas are no longer exceptional. zero . zero i'm richelle carey this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes a stalemate and sweden's election with no clear winner between the center left and center right blocks but a big rise in support for the far right. at least eighty four people died in fighting in yemen just today after the collapse of long awaited peace talks. russian and syrian air strikes continue on ad lib and neighboring hama province and syria with the hospital among the targets. in school serena williams has been fined
2:01 am
seventeen thousand dollars for her to come back during the u.s. open final. oh williams accused of making a sexist remark during her defeat to know me on soccer. coalition talks in sweden to take weeks after the country was left divided following sunday's election the center left bloc led by the prime minister stefan loven holds a narrow lead was just over forty percent of the vote his social democratic party has traditionally had the biggest vote share it's almost a dead heat with the center right alliance led by the moderates who have called for a law firm to resign significantly the far right anti immigration anti e.u. sweden democrats led by jimmy orcus and gain support but still polled less than
2:02 am
expected it more than seventeen percent talks will begin on monday but all parties have so. far refuse to work with this when democrats try to haul has more from stockholm. but i've been celebrating here at the social democrat headquarters center left party that's been the ruling party going into this election it remains the biggest party in the swedish politics as it has done for a century albeit with the worst result that it ever got in its electoral history it is something that illustrates the way in which this election has sealed support away here in sweden from the two mainstream center ground parties benefiting smaller parties particular on the extremes the extreme left doing well and of course the far right as well the sweden democrats much talked about ahead of this election they're the big winners here tonight albeit having done quite as well as they'd hoped and many fears. the center left social democrats have been the biggest
2:03 am
party in every swedish election for a century true again this time but not by far and it's a relief it's been their worst result of a jump and i think it's fine the problem now is how can we make it. how can you be government with this since it's really hard to see. how to how to make us a full 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 empty 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 what would seem harry is a political earthquake. really brought me this political history and i think that they're the leaders of the two big parties social democrats and the moderate party need to listen to this single from the swedish people need to say is the policies
2:04 am
that that the sweetest people want to see the rise of the far right hundred. 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 please see. awful 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 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 sweden 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 way ahead having already succeeded to the horror of many in putting nationalism and identity politics on the swedish
2:05 am
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 and lot of people reacted to that and the sweden democrats 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. but it's been a pretty perplexing election in many respects and a lot of flexing still will be the coalition talks that are going to start to take
2:06 am
place over the coming weeks we've been told it could be quite a while before a government. is formed here there is literally no space at all in support in the share of support between the two mainstream parties on the center left and the center right already the head of the center right moderate party has called on stephane livy and the prime minister to resign saying his center left bloc has simply run its course i'm sure we'll be hearing a good deal more of that sort of rhetoric to come but this is not elect an election that has drawn a new political landscape here in sweden the two to center parties much diminished but still dominant while the parties on the extremes will now have their voices heard jimmy akeson the sweden democrats leader the far right party saying that this result means his party will have a major say in events here in sweden in the coming weeks and the coming years and i'm sure he's probably right because this election has illustrated just how
2:07 am
important an issue immigration is in this country how big a problem it is how foreigners coming into sweden are not nearly as welcome as they once were how also issues like nationalism and identity are important as well it is and elections is troubling that has opened fissures and caused real questions to be arse about a country that has long been famous for its openness for its tolerance for does long held high the moral mantle here in europe and further afield a country now would have to put forward a rather different face to the world. syrian and russian jets and helicopters continue their heavy bombardment in the northern and southern countryside if it lifts all of the tribal fighters have been digging tunnels to reinforce their positions local media report that barrel bombs put a hospital out of service in neighboring hama province seventy decorous more ferment on the turkey syria border.
2:08 am
death comes from the sky here. it's the second day of an escalated air campaign targeting the southern part of syria's province and north and how. some people are fleeing their homes to the so far safer north. we came from the south of it 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 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
2:09 am
against a possible new wave of refugees. the way we're migration that will start here will not be our responsibility. turkey's 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 lib will not remain in opposition hands stephanie decker al-jazeera antakya. bill was is a genie isn't activist and live he says people are fearful but defiant. people are

2:11 am
you imagine that half the population of it live. 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 is just like what happened before that health facilities are going to be the most several targets for the regime and its allies and 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 russia case united states and dropping phosphorous bombs over towards our province in eastern syria on

2:18 am
very well orchestrated very well timed it was an attack on. opposition while the leadership was a meeting on one hand it also demonstrates full military prowess. missiles that hit the targets were very precise the very room where the meeting was taken place and there was drone surveillance to take a picture of this so this also sending a message that this iran of today is more powerful than that you won a couple of years ago when they try to attack some targets in syria and the missiles were subject for ridicule. 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 guards 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
2:19 am
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 a jury in 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 kodesh president he says he's urging all sides not to use the codis 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 i'm going in a stalled parliament i don't run has

a lot of influence here rob matheson. backed down and israeli settlers have been accused of forcing their way into the mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem a spokesman for the sites for dany and custodian says israeli police accompanied more than one hundred fifty settlers israel's agriculture minister nuri arielle was among the crew on the site has been a source of religious tension and a sacred to muslims but is claimed by jews as the site of a former temple. the un's new human rights chief is urging egypt to overturn death sentences for seventy five people who protested against the two thousand and thirteen military coup a court confirmed the sentences on saturday following a mass trial of seven hundred thirty nine people and shell bashfully says executing the protesters would be a gross miscarriage of justice she says prosecutors didn't provide enough evidence and criticized the law protecting security forces from prosecution eisel says it was behind a suicide bomb attack in kabul that killed at least seven people the blast happened
2:21 am
close to a procession in the afghan capital the group was commemorating the death of former anti soviet resistance leader ahmad shah masood earlier on sunday another suspected suicide bomber was shot by police before the trip the device rather was triggered. north korea has market seventieth anniversary with the huge military parade but unlike previous celebrations did not rule out its answer continental missiles president welcome the gesture calling it a big and very positive statement has delayed us from seoul. it had all the usual pomp of previous military displays but lacking much of the hardware especially the missiles compare this with this. for you to be looking at the military parade in april last year commemorating the birth date of north korea's founder kim il sung. bristling with the medium and long range
2:22 am
missiles it was provocatively testing on a regular basis. even at the start of the school relations earlier this year north korea was showing off the intercontinental ballistic missiles that had taken it to was appeared to be the brink of conflict with the u.s. now you see them now you don't. this parade had far more emphasis on the development of the economy in line with leader kim jong un's promise to improve his people's living standards after years of hardship. but the large contingent of journalists allowed into north korea for this event has been shown apparent signs of success even if they are carefully stage managed so you can move on to one continent you don't because this is the seventieth anniversary of our country the workers in a factory here all coming together to do their best to produce more and to make the factory a success but if kim is going to achieve real economic development he needs sanctions
2:23 am
on his country to be lifted and the u.s. insists for that to happen he has to give up his nuclear arsenal not simply keep it hidden from view. with negotiations seemingly deadlocked kim jong un is not doing anything to further antagonize the u.s. seen here with v.i.p. guessed these young shoe from china's ruling politburo rather he is using the event to build on his developing links with the international community trying to emerge from the isolation of the past. robert bright al-jazeera soul. r. kelly as an associate professor at the department of political science and plan to say that his son national university he says the absence of an apartment or bostick nestles and then parade shows more of korea's willingness to negotiate with us. probably the most important news for those of us on the outside is that there were no i.c.b.m.'s right if the i.c.b.m. canisters had gone down the street i think
2:24 am
a lot of hawks in the united states particularly would have said look they're threatening us again so that's good right i mean north koreans like symbolism and so that's a good thing in itself i think the north koreans are looking for a deal yeah i do i think they're not going to give up everything they won't go to zero the president the u.s. president should not have talk of a complete verifiable your verse will disarm and you know that's just not going to happen but my guess is they probably willing to freeze or cap what they have where they are now in exchange for some kind of sanctions relief maybe a peace treaty maybe we can get the world back ten or twenty percent of what they have we give them aid or some more you know complete package i do think the north koreans want a deal and i think the chinese sense that which is sort of where the pressure is coming from but you know the americans are kind of all over the place right i mean donald trump's you know made all these big speeches a few months ago in the calm drop that it's not really clear what the american position is particularly on the very contentious issue of a peace treaty. sudan's entire government has been sacked by the country's president omar bashir has dissolved the government and cut the number of ministries from thirty one to twenty one in a bid to tackle a growing economic crisis there's been no new appointments announced today and has
2:25 am
been struggling so says the session of south sudan in two thousand and eleven agnes cotto is in east africa economic and policy political analyst she believes many people will welcome this move. it's certainly a welcome move a very difficult political move for a mother show to take but certainly one that many people who have 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 they could only have been struggling and everybody expected there would peak it would pick up in october when this sanctions against iran were lifted by a prison trump but it didn't and of course there is an election in the coming months the next year so i think there's a political. plan and obviously one that hopefully will sustain
2:26 am
and give the country or the government an upper hand but the government has from clearly failed and they 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 he's not not you know side of the politicians have been dropped will obviously be going up again some of the show but it's interesting time for sudan i think one important thing which the country has been advised by the world bank in 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. sudan's budget goes to military to the military and security and failing to to invest in other sectors of plane has crashed into a lake in south sudan killing twenty people their craft was traveling from juba
2:27 am
international airport to your role in the center of the country a three people have survived including a six year old child avesta gators are still trying to find the cause of that crash . thousands of people in haiti have taken to the streets to protest against corruption demanding an investigation into allegations of misuse of funds as a former government officials are accused of embezzling money from a venezuela sponsored oil loan scheme the protesters say that money could have helped alleviate poverty and hating the poorest country in the western hemisphere. still ahead on al-jazeera tension in kosovo and serbia is efforts to end a longstanding dispute stall. and greece's prime minister talks about his new economic plans but not everyone is convinced. and support the alternative way to reach the knockout rounds of a continental football competition and he will have back sport.
2:28 am
welcomes another look at the international fall costs we've got a fair bit of wet weather still continuing into eastern parts of the u.s. some would you believe we are still talking about the remnants of tropical depression gold and flooding rains there into the northeastern u.s. you can see some really heavy downpours there into a good part of new york are pinch in new england little trailing system of rain still in place all the way down across the appalachians into the deep south central parts there looking hot because up to thirty two degrees in denver not quite as warm into our lives but twenty eight degrees not too bad with ten degrees colder than that for seattle north of the border a fair bit of cloud based piece of the prank coming into b.c. easing across alberta making the way into cisco she won by the time we come to choose day will wetter weather will be a good part of new england made most of the border into eastern canada seeing some
2:29 am
very heavy showers but some pieces of cloud are right a little further south things started to quieten down and then we have got some rather wet weather still continuing just around the eastern parts of texas the showers. in the rhyme and i continue to across the western side of the caribbean still a fair amount of play out in place here some live your possibility up towards a greater on to this a lesser antilles look and lots of fodder dry but look at that we've got florence living west. of the occupied west bank city of hebron is on the frontline of the arab israeli conflict so you don't really care after all well about palestinians you don't like it i don't like it but you just don't care i know but one man is standing up to israeli pressure to sell his house for an unimaginable figure the people of cuba. the development of al-jazeera world tells the story of the house the symbol of
2:30 am
resistance to continuing occupation the hundred million dollar home fresh perspective see the possibilities. debate and discussion so it's only one piece on a story that doesn't get nearly the news coverage that it deserves says so much to talk about is there any way of measuring that is our number at all that we could put. on to serious award winning programs take you on a journey around the klan. on al-jazeera.
2:31 am
watching al-jazeera and these are the top stories right now sweden's center right and center left parties are neck and neck in sunday's general election prime minister stuff and social democrats remain the biggest party but as expected the anti immigration far right party democrats have made significant gains eighty four people have been killed in renewed fighting in yemen's data it comes a day after a peace talks in geneva collapsed when the rebel delegation failed to show up hospital staff say the dead included dozens of the rebel fighters and at least eleven government troops syrian and russian jets have continued their heavy bombardment region rebel fighters are digging tunnels to reinforce their positions local media report that barrel bombs hit a hospital out of service and neighboring hama province says resident mike pence says the white house is monitoring developments in it very closely let's go now to washington d.c. were andy gallacher is covering that angle for so what did pence have to say about
2:32 am
the situation and. vice president mike pence was very clear on one issue or not so clear one another on the issue of the use of chemical weapons in the province he said that if the syrian government do use chemical weapons the u.s. will respond with decisive clear action he was very very clear on that he also made the point of saying unlike president president obama trump will enforce the so-called red line that obama famously did not enforce so on that issue he was extremely clear when asked about the use of conventional weapons and there was a great deal of build up on the provinces borders he was less clear but said that the u.s. government was monitoring the situation let's hear what he had to say. i will tell you that we're watching very carefully as his resources are being marshalled along the border of province and. confident it will be
2:33 am
a decision by the prison in the united states but i'm confident that we'll be monitoring that very very carefully to ensure that we don't see another humanitarian catastrophe like we did before. and there's been a lot of mixed messages out of the white house when it comes to syria i mean at one point donald trump had bombs falling on an airstrip in syria going to the other extreme saying that the u.s. doesn't want to be involved at all does the u.s. intend to act and live well i mean if you listen to what mike pence says if the syrian government uses chemical weapons it seems almost certain that they will but here we're dealing with a president who you never know quite what he will do bob woodward the watergate journalist is just for a book out that said that after the last chemical attack president trump allegedly said let's kill assad something the white house is very mentally denied but it's not easy to say what they will do of course president has acted before when
2:34 am
chemical weapons were used as no reason to see that he wouldn't again and what they ultimately want to prevent is is the humanitarian crisis in the problems is home to about three million people but conventional weapons kill innocent people just as chemical weapons do and they're making a distinction between the two things with a clear warning to russia iran and the syrian regime so it's really one of the situations where you have to wait and see but there is a clear warning to syria to not use chemical weapons or face the consequences and gallagher live for us in washington andy thank you. turn to our top story now sweden's election where the center left and center right are neck and neck but the far right anti immigrant sweden democrats has made some gains patrick accent is a political editor and writer he says the party has been able to attract voters on a number of marginal issues aside from immigration. being against being against
2:35 am
abortion i'm being skeptic about the climate and so on so they have to add up these marginal groups and it created a political movement of this content people discontent with it with the globalization of free trade as well i would like to describe the situation in sweden bit like what we saw in the german election and it's been a long term work from from russia to. to poor to these 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 it 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.
2:36 am
in this election we can see that they need to 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 sort of democratic party or the conservative party being 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 has as president is urging restraint as his counterpart visits the region alexander for czech addressed a rally of thousands of people and a truck on sunday at the serb tom a native city in the north of kosovo could be part of a future territory swap meant to improve ties between the two countries serbia has never recognized kosovo as a two thousand and eight declaration of independence sonic i go has more from
2:37 am
nature of a cat. 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 serb and habited village so rounded 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 with all the 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 is intervention eventually bought the fighting to an end but the government in belgrade has never accepted kosovo's two thousand and eight declaration of
2:38 am
independence addressing one of the most nationalist serb communities in the region was always going to be a challenge from least of which the community care has always railed against compromise but compromise is exactly what mr which has been urging saying that war and violence of any serve to isolate the septum unity 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 albanians 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. here and i believe better days are coming those
2:39 am
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 normalizing relations with kosovo and kosovo in turn need 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 in this city 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 on the rest. to russia now where hundreds of protesters have been
2:40 am
arrested in moscow at a rally against raising the pension age upset about a plan to increase their retirement age by five years mainly in their twenty's were eventually blocked by police barrack barricades thing of only his president vladimir putin's most active opponent call for protests before he was sentenced to thirty days in jail. these actions by the police a very strange an 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 from their responsibility and . great prime minister alexis tsipras says on the defensive about has plan for the country's economy so for us outlined his financial blueprint aiming to half the unemployment rate over the next five years agrees has been under austerity measures
2:41 am
for nearly a decade and critics say his plan amounts to nothing more than a handout johnson reports. prime minister is keen to show that greece is turning a page for years the emphasis has been on cutting costs now he's turning to growth dropping corporate tax by four points to twenty five percent and social security contributions for the self employed by a third in an attempt to create jobs workers and consumers are set to see minimum wages rise while property and sales taxes fall. is rolling back. tax hikes but he is doing it carefully or. i did not come here to distribute benefits i came to distribute and share with you a vision a vision for greece in a new era that is rising for our country it's not just the greeks and turks exhausted they're also headed into an election year workers came. to the cell in
2:42 am
