al jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martine denis coming up in the next sixty minutes using starvation as a weapon of war more than one child could die of hunger every minute this year in conflicts and. gunmen attacked libya's national oil headquarters in tripoli at least five people a day. at least six people have been killed in a car bomb in somalia's capital mogadishu. i'm joined by the day's sport as novak

djokovic which makes a grand slam trophy number fourteen at the u.s. open. six hundred thousand children that's more than one every minute are expected to die from hunger in walls insists year that's according to a new report by save the children it says four and a half million children under five will need treatment for severe malnutrition this year that's a twenty percent increase on twenty sixteen tens of thousands of children could die in yemen in afghanistan and in south sudan but the biggest number of fatalities is expected in the democratic republic of congo where three hundred thousand are at risk save the children warns starvation is increasingly being used as a weapon with warring parties blocking food or medicine leading to devastating consequences . armitage is our correspondent in the southern nigerian city of caliber and ahmed

we're talking to you because of course you cover extensively the conflict in the northeastern part of the country how is the issue with food and food deprivation being manifested in that particular part of the country. especially along. the lake chad region we. a lot of family struggling to get even in the refugee camps it's quite a struggle to have fooled four times a day for many of the families when you. all right here where having a few problems with audio connection with jesu is talking to us from calabar in southern nigeria but nonetheless the idea is that he was basically reinforcing the

point that in northeastern nigeria there is also a big a sea when it comes to food food for vision mao nutrition and all the subsequent complications as a result of conflict let's speak to one of the people behind the actual report now his name is key and so lucky here he is a spokesman for save the children he's joining us live now from london thank you for talking to us. i'm just wondering about the assertion that you make in your report you say that hunger is being used as a weapon more than ever before but hasn't hunger been used as a weapon of war since time began since conflict began. i think. yes i think when you look back on the statement save the children is one hundred years old next year and i actually found the time i was responding to my vision following world war so it's definitely something that has happened in the past i think what we've seen this time is a can kind of two decades trend where global hunger has been decreasing for the

first time in that time period is now increasing and conflict is behind so and yes it's always been there but i think we're seeing a much more acute pinch on children across particularly eastern countries absolutely i mean it's always in the most vulnerable people the children the elderly and the women especially women who are pregnant who suffer the most thing conflicts so what you're saying basically is that there is an increase in world conflicts and then can come in to that figure is an increase in the number of children who are suffering. yeah and i think the increase in troops in suffering is something which considering all of the progress in human development is becoming something which is more and more deplorable and so i was in somalia recently and you know when you see the extent of the kind of the effects of money on children it's really. staggering that's allowed to happen basically and in this day and age and you know it's physical children are literally wasting away but it's also

emotional psychological this is a type of trauma and it's a type of violence that children are experiencing again what's also particularly alarming i guess also is that it even if a child suffers just a short period of malnutrition that can affect development goals for the rest of that child's life. absolutely and there is some evidence which is starting to show that the nutritional impact some children in the first take in the first few years is a life say and can actually be instead rationed so that the cognitive and physical development impediments from not come to pass on from generation to generation so we're not only a risk of failing today's children we're potentially at risk of aids more insurgents are key and so lucky i thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from london. right let's go to the latest from somalia now where at least six people have been killed in an explosion in the capital mogadishu the blast apparently was caused by a car a car bomb. went off very close to

a district government office now clouds of smoke could be seen rising above the city and so far there is no claim of responsibility but al shabaab is a fighting group that has waged a campaign against the u.s. backed government in mogadishu for some time now. earlier we throw it to mohammed bull bull who is a radio and t.v. geneses based in the somali capital mogadishu. after the explosion and going to fire. firing while deployed and is why dispersing the the news but the explosion it is just a quick. explosion you see it was the week is the next one car bomb explosion in through that district in mogadishu in others not fighters they turned out they are actually is the they have attacked or they are will be they carry out frequent attacks in the militias somali capital they are the last week they

attacked their own hello that districts by killing killing and today they are other districts and hundreds of people many people are there and there were a growing below is in daily life like food that this will be exacted kushal it's no it cannot be identified it remains. so nobody can say up there could be exact a number but when this is just told me that because this is very he. the united states has to shout the palestine liberation organization is mission in washington d.c. it says the decision is in response to the palestinian government refusing to enter peace talks with the united states and this for the move comes just weeks after the trumpet administration cut two hundred million dollars in aid to the palestinians let's go live now to force it he's in ramallah in the occupied west bank and is is

that actually confirmed then that the americans are prepared to clues the palestinian mission in washington. well they have yet to announce it officially to the general public but there was a leak it seems reported in the wall street journal saying that john bolton the national security advisor would make remarks about this closure in in a speech planned for later today to a conservative organization in the state department would be formally making this announcement later in the course of the day we have had it though confirm from the palestinians themselves the ambassador to washington. who has been withdrawn by the palace in president mahmoud abbas here to ramallah since may he said that he was informed very early this morning palestinian time syria five thirty in the morning that the united states was going to make this closure and that the reason was palestinian pressure in terms of trying to bring israel before the international

criminal court and that this was in response to that but obviously it also as you say very much goes in concert with what we've seen from the american ministration to trumpet minister. in recent weeks in particular in terms of funding cuts to the palestinian authority to an rov the organization that the u.n. organization that aids palestinian refugees just this weekend cuts to palestinian hospitals in occupied east jerusalem and so the head of the p.l.o. the secretary of the p.l.o. cyberattack told us that really the palestinians had nothing left to lose now in terms of their relations with the americans he said that the americans had chosen to stand on the side of the war criminals as he put it in terms of taking sides on this international criminal court issue and palestinians would continue to use pressure to make sure israel did answer before that court so it sounds very much as the american intention to try to force the palestinians to the negotiating table is a very far from having that effect. that's right i mean they say that this is

essentially in fact the the ambassador who presumably still holds that title but now doesn't have any kind of mission let alone a national presence the united states he told us that really there was no sincere effort to bully or extort the palestinians to negotiating table which is what the americans say according to this what will street journal reports it's what john bolton will say that the palestinians have not been willing to come to the table and talk to the israelis they of course say it's the israelis who have been refusing to come to to the table to talk to them in earnest but yes he was saying that this is less an attempt to bully the palestinians towards accepting the impending trump peace plan and much more an imposition of an israeli grocery list of demands the latest being this what they they would frame as punishing the palestinians for their stance on the international criminal court and on the side

erica said that they would be adding another file to the list that they want to see prosecuted at the international criminal court that being the recent israeli court decision that would allow the demolition of a bedouin village kind of lamarr in the occupied west bank paving the way in the eyes of many for further israeli settlement expansion which would further isolate east jerusalem from the west of york west bank and indeed split the west bank into that will be added according to cyber erica to these motions to this pressure for the international criminal court to hold hearings on israel's behavior all right thanks for that harry but we're staying in the certainly on the palestinian issue because the palestinian authority has announced that it will provide part of the twenty five million dollars of aid that the u.s. cracked the six hospitals in occupied east jerusalem in a statement prime minister rami hamdullah said the decision to fill the void shows

the government considers jerusalem hospitals. as part of its network washington an outfront saturday that it would cut one of its last remaining programs for palestinians which affects cancer patients and children with serious how conditions the move comes after the u.s. ended two hundred million dollars of financial assistance to the occupied west bank in gaza last month. and if it has the latest from occupied east jerusalem. this is the children's dialysis unit in the old victoria hospital in occupied east jerusalem it services patients from across the occupied west bank and garden it's one of those places where any interruption to funding can direct consequences on people's lives and the quality of life of the millions and millions of dollars for example they spend here on the chemicals that are used for dialysis that can be no interruption in the supply of those chemicals because there are children here come on a daily basis for dialysis many of them traveling many hours

a day from the west bank here and back to get this critical treatment there are no others know of a hospital in the palestinian territories that provide the sort of services are needed here that is why one of the reasons why the palestinian authority stepped in very quickly to say it will provide the twenty to twenty five million dollars funding shortfall the u.s. is taken away but the palestinian foreign minister said this whole idea of the u.s. cutting funding to the palestinians is part of a u.s. attempt to liquidate the palestinian cause. looting. a shake up to one of europe's most liberal nations as voters turn to the right but it may take a while for sweden to form a new government. why iran's revolutionary guard says it was behind an attack on kurdish positions in northern iraq and taking the need to more players continue to protest on the opening weekend of the n.f.l. season we have the details in sport.

now come in and killed at least five people in an attack on the headquarters of libya's national oil corporation in tripoli security forces cordoned off the area and have been fighting with the attackers now this comes after us between armed groups vying for control of the libyan capital agreed to stop fighting. joining us from the libyan capital tripoli thanks very much is it still going on this this attack on the national oil headquarters. will the special deterrence force that is the force of policing in the libyan capital tripoli. individuals have managed to get into the building and risk you men in billy's employees including the true chairman of the national oil

corporation most of us are lower himself now according according to the interior minister national accord government absalom actual at least five masked gunmen attacked or storm the main gate of the national oil corporation headquarters and they engaged with a k forty seven and their automatic rifles with their security security guards at the gate before the manager to enter into the building now the also used according to the minister the gunmen also used hand greeny grenades now according to security sources the social deterrence force individuals have engaged with their silence and now it is almost in being the specially the risk you operation is almost to ending now there is a state of panic in the capital and also the security measures have been tightened

especially in front of the state institutions and facilities out there what had how should we view this should we view this in the context of the recent unrest that has been set tripoli which the u.n. brokered a peace deal to end the cease fire was abided by so should we see it as an extension of that fighting or is this something completely different. well despite the fact that the identity of the assailants have not has not been recognised yet that is according to the interior minister absalom assured he said the identity they have not identified the gunman yet but at the same time this also this attack could be could be implemented by another group that has nothing to do with the with the conflict in the southern suburbs of the libyan capital tripoli we're aware that there is a war and the southern suburbs of the libyan capital tripoli but at the same time there is a deal cease fire agreement brokered by the united nations last week and it was

consolidated yesterday there is no fight there is no i mean the clashes that lasted for a week last week has abated recently and today there is no there is no intense fighting despite the tense situation and the southern suburbs of the libyan capital but it doesn't seem to have to do with this attack on the national oil corporation but at the same time this attack reminds us of the attack on the high national election commission that was executed by members last may but you know in all cases the last point if i may say in all cases the identity of the assailant has not been recognized yet or a good thing as soon as we get that information of course we know that you will bring it to us here at al-jazeera. thanking. last week in the face is a period of lengthy political wrangling now after an election in which no single party won

a majority but the far right sweden democrats made significant gains turn the whole reports now from the capital stockholm. 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 been their worst result ever i think i 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 how 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 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 votes with his 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 do saying is the policies that the sweetest people want to see 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 they see. awful things i mean yeah of course we have a lot of refugees here but we need to take care of them who they come from a terrible place terrible course 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 sweet and 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 the. only 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 but 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 world they searched in the polls can 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 extreme politics are in sweden to state now and many other swedes see trouble ahead jonah

hill al jazeera stocco right because these are florian heart live now his lecture at university in the stone yeah he's a specialist in popular ism political parties and extremism in the e.u. he's joining us live from talon thank you very much indeed for joining us how would you characterize what has happened in this politics and representative of the sweden democrats calling it a political earthquake. everybody's talking about wiping populists and in the you hope sincerity if she cried says of all to two thousand and fifty i'm not supporting this phenomenon since two thousand and they see that the big discussion and debate on migration immigration and integration this ongoing in sweden is the role model for their. specially because of. the fact that speeding is a reach up and t.n.t.'s to deal with a lot of immigrants and their motives of the immigrants. especially is based on

their on their wish to go either to germany or to sweden absolutely but do you think immigration clearly has been the toughest hasn't it do you think now as a consequence of this election where you've got a much more influential far right contingent do you think the traditional values of of openness and and liberality are now under threat in three. and we see also that to democrats since reagan got there first besides in the one hundred years and basically be so we see all your hope in all european countries such friends germany hungary poland the decline of the social democrats so that basically the social democrats are losing their core vote and also i would go a bit further we steer crisis of all out you peel model of

consensus walk or see in the model which is based on strong parties from the center right in from the center left and what is it then that is presented this this challenge to the liberal democracies of europe what is the particular phenomenon would you say that is causing it to to go into decline. the challenge to said it's very hard to find common position on the european level and the challenges that. the western european states are very open for its make racial immigration since the cultural revolution of one thousand nine hundred sixty eight and what we are facing right now fifty years later is a kind of counter revolution of the ordinary people who are afraid of specialty so i make friends degenerate florian very interesting fertility thank you very much indeed yes. we're going to have the weather with kevin in just

a little while also coming up on this al-jazeera news out china under pressure why rights groups say the government is cracking down against its muslim population the former leader of cambodia's opposition party is out of jail but why is he not free and in sports shows off the u.s. open trophy on top of the up in new york. from dusky sunsets if you sproule. to sunrise atop in metropolis. over the next few days we're going to be talking about the tropics quite a bit we have a lot of activity here in the western pacific as well as in linux but this hour we're going to focus on what is happening here in the pacific we have two areas talk about one over here over parts of the philippines that is tropical depression twenty seven then we have

a typhoon in the pacific this is typhoon now i want to show you what we expect to see on this storm over the next few days right now not too bad in terms of the intensity we're talking one hundred sixty five kilometers per hour it is moving to the west at thirty one kilometers but this is what we're going to be keeping track of where the system is going to go by the end of the week now there's a couple model variations on the system one is going to take it close to the philippines one is going to take it close to taiwan either way one of these two islands is going to be receiving probably over two three hundred to four hundred millimeters of rain as it approaches and we do think that it is going to be much stronger than it is right now also a tropical depression over the philippines and now that system is going to turn into a tropical storm make its way more towards the west and we think over the next few days it's really going to cause some winds across the south coast of china but as we go towards the weekend it will probably be towards vietnam that sees a landfall with the storm with flooding rains as well. the weather sponsored by the

time riis. and. you'll find beauty is brown's. says he needs. to put this just for. the club. i am. at. my nigeria on al-jazeera. al-jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of count ben adult. the first u.n. envoy trying to bring peace to the middle east how was negotiations with him helped save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how these mediation skills put him at the vanguard in the quest for peace in the middle east. killing the

count on al-jazeera. with al-jazeera the news hour time to take a look at the top stories and more than one child isn't set to die every minute from hunger in war zones the sheer that's according to save the children the charity is warning that starvation is now frequently used as a weapon of war. at least four people are dead as gunmen have attacked the headquarters of libya's national oil corporation in the capital tripoli security forces there have now called and off the area and engaging with the attackers it

happened after the u.n. brokered talks between several armed groups who were vying for control of the capital after they agreed to lay down their weapons. even faces a period of political wrangling after an election in which no single party won a majority bought the far right sweden democrats made significant gains the center left led by prime minister and came out with just over forty percent of the vote but the center right opposition alliance say they have a mandate to govern. the human rights watch has accused the chinese government of conducting a systematic campaign. of human rights violations against turkic muslins in cian jang in northwestern china the report is based on interviews with almost sixty people and they accuse beijing of arbitrary detention religious repression and

surveillance against the thirteen million million muslims who live in this area many interviewees say more than half of their family are in prison or in so-called political reeducation camps the report cites what it calls disturbing high tech mass surveillance and says officials have a database of everyone's biometric data the chinese government has not yet commented on this report but beijing has in the past denied accusations of mistreatment of its people in xinjiang it says the increased security measures are to guard against the threat of separatists in the region we can speak to safety richardson now who is china director for human rights watch and she's joining us via skype from washington d.c. thanks for talking to us it sounds as though your sample of interviewees is not exactly huge sixty people out of a population something like thirteen million how confident are you that the conclusions that you've come to iraq curate. well i think one of the one of the

challenges that everybody faces is of course chinese government restrictions on access to the region and beijing really has nothing to hide and it's time to revoke this restrictions you know a lot of our interview use provided information that was easily corroborated from other sources scholars from other journalists and indeed even from government documents themselves you know we have. police tenders or other party documents explaining exactly what they're going to be doing in these facilities so we're confident that the material we're reflecting is accurate and that china the chinese government has in the past responded to these accusations by citing what it calls security concerns it says that he's got a large number of muslims from the province that every turning from from was in syria and in iraq having having fought for isilon to other violent groups. well look chinese foreign ministry spokespeople have said in the last

couple of weeks that they really have no idea how many people have gone we're going to come back and what's true the governments obviously have an obligation to provide public safety it's very hard to see how to cure pain of site groups repression operates actually produces that result rather than deepening you know a nation across the region and the chinese government recently in august when it tended the the un committee on the elimination of racial discrimination did come up with a rare admission didn't it it did at mit that there was. reeducation centers did exist in. providence but it said that these reeducation centers were purely to deal with religious extremists as it pushed as it it put. yeah i mean that's not a particularly credible explanation nor is the other favorite which is to say that there are vocational training centers there's nothing in chinese law that allows for this kind of arbitrary deprivation of liberty we're talking about people who

are being detained simply for having family members outside of the country for having a pretty good in what the authorities view is too often for having observed cultural traditions you know it's hard to it's hard to conflate that either with extremism or something that you know that people don't have a right to do in their every day. michel but the new u.n. human rights commission has actually in a maiden speech is mentioned the situation with regard to the week is in northwestern china and she's called the situation deeply disturbing she's calling on the chinese government to allow in the monitors do you think that that should be the next step for the chinese government to deal with these allegations it's extremely important that the new i can understand made these comments this morning and i think what she's proposing is one piece of a solution but we also need to see individual governments first of all pursue things like sanctions or visa bans against the officials who you know are responsible enjoying it and doing for uses but also to come together in

a coalition to pressure beijing to close the camps now in a way out for the beginnings of investigations and justice so if you richardson thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us. now iran's revolutionary guard says it was behind artillery attack from kurdish positions in northern iraq on saturday the democratic party of a reigning kurdistan says fifteen of its fighters were killed and around forty others were injured kurdish military sources say it was the first such attack by iranian forces in more than twenty years matheson reports now from the iraqi capital baghdad. this was the moment on saturday when iran launched an attack against fighters in the northern kurdish region of neighboring iraq the target was a camp run by a group calling itself the kurdish democratic party of iran several fighters were killed dozens more injured. in this attack in particular was

very well orchestrated very well timed it was an attack on. because opposition while the leadership was in meeting on one hand it also demonstrates full military prowess the missiles that hit the targets were very precise they had the very room where the meeting was taking place and there was drone surveillance to take picture of this so this also sending a message that this iran of today is more powerful than the iran of couple 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 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 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 i'm in a stalled parliament and iran has a lot of influence here rob matheson. backed down sudan's president

has sat his entire government omar al bashir dissolved his cabinet and cut the number of ministers from thirty one to twenty one in a bid to tackle a growing economic crisis. he's picked a new prime minister but so far we've not heard of any other appointments having been announced. at least a good towel is in east africa economic and political analysts and she believes many people will welcome the move. it's certainly a welcome move a very difficult political move for marshall 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 basic 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 the sanctions against iran were lifted by a prison trump but it didn't and of course there is an election in the coming months 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 the government has from clearly felt and 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 upon those moves 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 it's interesting time for sudan i think one important thing which the country has been advised by the world bank in their bigger west is to diversify sudan's economy to move away from over depending on all the info chris on investing in agriculture and the health care which the 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. now the afghan government has begun construction on a town that is soley for female police officers in kabul there are around three thousand female officers in the country but just two percent of the total force and in an effort to encourage more women to join up the government offering them secured housing charlotte bellus reports from kabul. female police officers are a relatively new phenomenon in afghanistan. the police force was rebuilt sixteen years ago and there are now one hundred sixty thousand officers but only three thousand women. that i can feel there is danger for female police officers in afghanistan but when i joined the police i decided on that day country or coffin

which means i kept the danger i want to be a role model for our people to serve them sincerely so the culture changes and lots of women join he says. finding and retaining women is a challenge is a cultural hurdle convincing parts of society that women should work it's also dangerous as i salute the taliban specifically target the military and police during shift and after hours. one of the nation's most senior police woman brigadier general hekmat shah who had no idea to improve the female to male ratio build a town only for police woman to protect them and their families as a gift from the government. i am also a mother and i'm looking for the safety of these women i know how difficult it is place to make a city for them it's all for the safety from where i'm standing rise the first of ten five story buildings to be built across the site for three hundred policewoman

and their families around the perimeter will be a high security wall with six guards how to protect the people inside. the plans include a daycare center and school for nearly seven hundred children along with a medical clinic and gym for women. the total cost is one hundred twenty million dollars canada has put thirty million towards the first phase of building the issue of security is not a hypothetical one earlier this year al jazeera spoke with the family of nor hire a menorah two sisters who are working as police officers and badakhshan province when they were targeted and killed by the taliban. in kabul the security elite are watching these stories where they hurt recruitment even without a brick laid the site is already listed with towers and armed guards building confidence that they can and will protect women as they push towards the goal of five thousand female officers by twenty twenty i think it's responsibility and duty for every afghan woman our men should stand side by side and fight for our county

there are no short cuts to equality in this nation moving security and gender equality and the right direction comes one shovel at a time shell of dallas al-jazeera kabul. a former cambodian opposition leader has been released from prison and probably placed under house arrest saka was arrested a year ago for treason but is yet to go to trial when hey reports now from the thai capital bangkok. after spending a year in a remote prison camp was finally able to return home but he's not free as cambodians awoke to news the opposition leader was released on bail and placed under house arrest a small number of supporters and media gathered outside his home in phnom penh. i'm very excited to hear that he's been released when i first heard the news i grabbed my shirt and came straight here. was arrested in september last year on treason

charges in a case widely dismissed as politically motivated as the supreme court then dissolved his cambodian national risky party the largest opposition political party more than one hundred of its members were banned from politics for five years it came amid a broad government crackdown on dissent independent media outlets closed and rights workers harassed or arrested with no credible opposition prime minister hun sen's cambodian people's party won every seat in the national assembly in july his election. last week swearing in formality confirmed one since thirty three year rule would be extended for at least another five and with that it appears the time was right to release. the release who came so close and other opposition party political leaders like me i hope that they are signing your light street path to national unity and reconciliation that seems unlikely at the moment as kim so car

still awaits trial and never afraid to intervene in the judicial process one sin says if he goes unpunished cambodia will descend into civil war wayne hale jazeera bangkok thousands of people in haiti have taken to the streets to protest against corruption they're demanding an investigation into allegations of misuse of funds dozens of former government officials are accused of embezzling money from a venezuela sponsored or oil loan scheme. the protesters say that money could have helped alleviate poverty in the country the poorest in the western hemisphere. hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested in moscow at a rally against raising the pension age the government wants to increase the retirement age by five years the protest is mainly in their twenty's were eventually blocked by police barricades the opposition leader alexina valmy had called for protests before he was sentenced to thirty days in jail.
