i mean three i think it's how you approach an individual and that's what it is a certain way of doing it it's a conscious ending to a story and fly out. this is al-jazeera. this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes a desperate search for survivors after indonesia's earthquake and tsunami more than eight hundred confirmed dead but the final toll likely to be in the thousands. what's in a name the macedonians at the ballot box a name change could be the admission fee to nato. polls close in elections in iraq's kurdish region one year after

a failed bid for independence. and another endorsement from the u.s. president for judge break cavanaugh as the f.b.i. begins its investigation into sexual assault allegations i'm joining us with the sports including. i hear expressed the u.s. a seventeen and a half to ten and a half to regained the right at the top. of the indonesians are being warned to prepare for a death toll in the thousands that's after friday's earthquake and tsunami on the island of. at least eight hundred thirty two confirmed dead but that is expected to rise dramatically powerful aftershocks are still being felt all rescue teams are arriving on scene away sea which is about three hours flying time from the capital

jakarta most of the confirmed dead are in power lou where six metre high. waves crashing ashore were filmed on mobile phones but there's been no word yet from the city of daraa thirty kilometers to the north which has a population of more than a quarter of a million tommy reports from jakarta the difficult task of looking for survivors this is what is left in the city of after friday's magnitude seven point five earthquake and tsunami rescue workers frantically trying to find those who may still be alive so its efforts are being hampered by block roads and the collapse period rescue teams stuck by hand to free twenty four people trapped in the rubble of this hotel the owner told local media people could still be heard crying for help but no heavy lifting equipment was available dozens remain missing in the city of over three hundred thousand those who did survive the quake and tsunami that

follow now have to try to lift off anything they can find things like this of people looting local shops and siphoning petrol from cars are becoming the norm. is very slowly coming in many injured are being evacuated but the red cross estimates that more than one point six million people have been affected but the killer concerns about the nearby town of dongarra where the impact is still unclear don the law is home to over two hundred seventy thousand people but there has been no communication with anyone in since friday afternoon the indonesian president is visiting to assess the damage and the reach is so the people more help is on the way but for now these continue to feel the streets of. anxious survivors being one not to return to their homes as aftershocks continue. to cut. thomas howes is director of program implementation for save the children he says the

rescue efforts are still proving to be an enormous challenge. it's been a good development today with the corps alou reopen and for humanitarian flights which is the big thing that will allow agencies in the government to really start to bring in the much needed stocks and equipment. that we need to kind of make things make things work essential and yet there's a lot of roads a need to be cleared so this cracks in the road i was also landslides and it's very very challenge and an earthquake at seven point four seven point five magnitude it's quite rare event for than for that to be followed by a tsunami obviously that's particularly challenging and it's not you know not something that can really be prepared for to this extent and i think what we're seeing on the pictures unfortunately you know the about people who died. in the wind angara although we don't have much information from the gullible already and

alou we're you know we're talking about eight hundred twenty three people you know that's around double of those who died in lombok just under that so it's obviously significantly more impactful earthquake than the long block earthquake specifically in terms of the epicenter and in terms of the impact of the tsunami that followed it so it is not a normal event it's extraordinary event and the challenges are also extraordinary the polls have closed in iraq's northern semi autonomous kurdish region for parliamentary elections the vote comes a year after a failed bid for independence it was rejected by baghdad plunging the region into economic and political turmoil security forces in the region voted early on friday but a member of one of the main parties the puke a said his party will reject the results of the vote to our staff and has more from interview. but we understand that this statement was made by a p.t. you k.

spokes person was the saudi pira who said that the p.k. was going to reject these election results subsequent to that statement being made the leader of the p u k list qubad talabani has rejected this claim and said that it is far too early to come out with statements like that. rejecting results as they are still being counted meanwhile the k d p the k.t. p.t. the ship in the towns of sunni and how large or which a p u k strongholds of come out and make claims about election violations there also i mean i think these incidents obviously just show just how these parliamentary elections are indeed how the a for the build up to them has been we have seen these increasing divisions between the two main political players in this region the k d p and the p u k there's always been a if you like an on the easy. leadership agreement if you like in

this region and out of school nepal subsequent to that referendum the failed referendum that we saw last year and also the fact that the k.t. they blamed the p u k as being complicit with the baghdad government the baghdad army when the peshmerga the kurdish forces were forced to withdraw from kirkuk last year let's take a closer look at this parliamentary election more than three million people were eligible to vote in the kurdish region with more than seven hundred candidates competing for one hundred and eleven seats and this includes five seats allocated for turkmen five for christians and one for armenians but the election is being seen as a test to kurdish unity and public trust in the main parties. yet events aide is a kurdish affairs analyst and a research at the middle east research institute he joins us via skype now from

arlington virginia thanks very much for being with us so let me ask you first of all what exactly is going on here with the with the p u k because we seem to be getting conflicting views when we understand a senior member is saying that they're not going to recognize the results. others giving a different story what's going on there and why would they not recognize the results . this is really not certain that you know when and in the early hours after the polls are closing in the if there are selections you know some are there or do get around that we are going to inject into the election results that you know it was simon who is the spokesman for the state who said they were rejected the election that they were actual results little bit later choruses these statements in that they had some reservations about the pollin or the ballot boxes which is true all of the or the key but also keep it has made in the single accounts or inoculations

. a which i think you that the beauty of reading the elections and salumi and also a lot of provinces which are those that is a stronghold and as far as the implications that this has this will have on. any attempts to form a government in baghdad i appreciate it's a little bit early to say at this point but especially since the the president has to be has to be an iraqi kurd. it is not certainly that you know has to get iraqi kurd but it has been the normalcy of so that the for. no other person has from the kurdish from has been has been there and now if not i think we have to wait and let the dust to settle at the moment because everyone is at use in the other it is not just that you believe you are making you

know allegations of electoral fraud on the other you know a smaller part of the opposition parties in the key argument making disease educations i think if we do it like you know one or two days everyone will come down but certainly you know attention has been very very high in the us criticism region is the sri between the keep young people who are not being able to come out with a solution or in the some kind of you know maty a balance is the number that the nominee of the iraqi president the p.m.k. unilaterally appointed barham salih who is a former to be primus are your brother and their presidential none the nominee if you has rejected that and of course we have to see what will be the result of the elections and that could impact the balance of power in the u.s. troops and region as well as the power of the kurdish parties the shit that keep in peel gate was go ahead was there a perspective the presidential. nominee for for iraq and what about the economic

situation there how to what degree has that affected the mood in the region right now. since two thousand and fourteen because of the war against science it is also a bank that is the common sentient against the critters region because of that this year or well territory and other issues and issues that have been there since actually to the fore and they kind of situation have been really really bad in the restaurant some reason there was a general mood of pessimism that election will bring about any kind of change but the kurdish parties who are up for the elections may the economy you know improvement making the lives of the people there in their election campaign that promise that will truly jar their well diversified there are economy they were trying to go away from from oil because oil was one of the main problem that the k

r g you know dependent you know that exported oil but because of the drop of the oil price as well as ascensions by baghdad by talking by other k. archie has this a very really bad in the term of economy which was not able to pay the civil servants. salaries for a number of years now that there is stable but say shlash it salaries for about fifty percent and more but they have promised that when they would form the next government there will try to restore everything that will make their people's lives better but of course that will require some really. some some really economic minds that you know they argue has to acquire whether it is from the other site advisors or it will be able to use color talent as they care to be able to make the economy better for everyone yet events i could to speak with you.

our polls have just closed in macedonia's referendum vote on accepting a deal to change the country's name to north macedonia these are our live pictures in the capital scope here where people are against the name change in rallying results at the moment indicate only twenty two point six percent had cast their ballots supporters say a yes vote would pave the way for nato membership and greece had argued the name macedonia implied territorial ambitions of its own province and blocked the country's efforts to join nato is a political analyst and host of a political program in macedonia he explains what it would take for the country to qualify for nato membership. with this referendum macedonia should get the deadlock out of the way get easily into your atlantic

family if the referendum goes as it sees expected then all the international leaders secretary-general need to present that have said that the road to macedonia for integration is really really open for the moment are all the focus he says the referendum and the numbers as. you may as well know it is important that more of fifty percent of the population should go out and vote and majority of them then should vote for this referendum and then. everything will be much easier for macedonia for a public of macedonia as it's called here in macedonia right now to be member of nato or e.u. institutions for the moment everybody's anticipating and to see what is going to be the turnout after a couple of hours. plenty more ahead on this news hour how broken promises an

economic mismanagement are leaving millions of brazilians struggling to make ends meet. plus a victory for south africa's rust the faring community as the top court rules it is no longer illegal to smoke cannabis in private. and lewis hamilton wins the russian grand prix but only after his teammate is ordered to give way joe will have the details in sport. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin man has arrived in kuwait for two days of talks with. the two leaders are expected to discuss the ongoing gulf crisis kuwait has played a mediator role since saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind in egypt slapped a blockade on qatar in twenty seventeen accusing it of supporting terrorism doha denies the accusations. fly first from kuwait city so demand how

significant is this meeting. well that's a very good question because of all dependent really what comes out of it up until now actually this meeting goes on and then off and then on and then delayed and now it's obviously on with the recent arrival of the crown prince who was mentor of arrived late on saturday that then got postponed early sunday and then afternoon sunday and then now he's come obviously there's a lot that links both quaids in saudi arabia both from the geo political positions in terms of the g.c.c. a but also historically saudi arabia doesn't lose an opportunity to remind us of how it intervene to help it's in the gulf war of one thousand nine hundred ninety there was a lot of also trade that flows between the two countries but as you mentioned there at least what's the main thing that stands out in the bilateral relations here is

that the role is the role that great has been trying to. take in the past year and a half which has been to find an end to this ongoing blockade obviously there are other discussions taking place on the side we're talking about for example they're both major members of opec they are huge oil producers in the world there's been a lot of pressure from washington to wards the g.c.c. and in particular side arabia and kuwait to increase production in order to reduce prices so that will probably be on the agenda as well but. a lot of people will be hoping at least that maybe some sort of headway can be made with regards to trying to find a way out of this. crisis really that has beleaguered the g.c.c. and crippled it for over a year now but if you're going to look at it from an objective perspective it's very unlikely that something significant will come out in just these few hours of discussions and demand we know very well what the saudi position is when it when it comes through to to qatar and their dispute with them but what what can kuwait

bring to this as a mediator can can we be seen as an honest broker by by both sides. well in kuwait the political spectrum in kuwait is to its advantage in that it is one of the few in the region that truly has some sort of poor lism in it so you have secularist party islamist party nationalist parties or individuals rather that are all present in the creative part of it which is the oldest in the g.c.c. and maybe that's something that the quality is point to in terms of trying to show that it doesn't have to be a zero sum game when there are differences between allies or neighbors politically speaking and actually things flourish better when there is that puritanism but bear in mind korea thousand or only played a mediator or tried to play mediator or in this specific crisis a source or tried to try and find a solution to the ongoing war in yemen by trying to host talks albeit

unsuccessfully with the forty's a couple of years back in the beginning of this war so it's history is a mediating country or one that tries to whole you know play in the middle down the middle is one that it will point to particularly as its leader does have. a respected reputation in the region the core of the wise man of the gulf he is the oldest or one of the oldest obviously in the region here maybe that's something else that can sway him but so far it has been seen that despite all the different efforts that kuwait has put in to try and mediate the fact that information some money is only coming in now for the first time since the blockade has been imposed shows that there has been a reluctance to say the least from the saudis to try and actually on earth that attempt to try and find a political solution to this jim and thanks very much jim in kuwait city where u.s. president donald trump has once again publicly backed his nominee for the supreme court has ordered an f.b.i.

investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against bright kavanah this means a confirmation vote by the full senate will be delayed for at least a week. let's cross live now to kimberly how kids in washington so kimberly what is the scope of this f.b.i. investigation going to be. well it is actually narrow in scope and it was specifically ordered to be so when the senators on the senate judiciary committee mandated that this take place and wrap up within a week so given the fact that dr christine basi ford gave a rather detailed hearing and a testimony within that hearing it is not surprising that she has had some difficulty reaching out to the f.b.i. as we are finding in some of the tweets coming from congressional reporters including one that says the f.b.i. has not responded to requests from christine blazin for to do an interview according to her attorney you have to remember the f.b.i.

is a very broad organization it's also sort of a peer out bureaucratic organization it is a government agency and this is a sunday and so i suspect that delay has something to do with the fact that the details of her interview are well known not just to the f.b.i. but also the public so it's likely that will come later in the week but in the midst of all of this there is a lot of division in the united states about the testimony of the claims made not only by christine boss before but as well as two other accusers the f.b.i. looking at least one other of those allegations now but as brett kavanaugh the judge who has been nominated to be a supreme court justice defended vigorously those accusations against him the fact that it was an angry response the fact that it was partially partisan in nature has led at least one democratic senator to raise concern about his fitness for the position of a supreme court justice and that is prompting the diving deep if you will of that f.b.i. investigation take

a listen to what she had to say. that brings us to the crux of whether or not this investigation is going to be thorough i would think that that is what senator flake had in mind that it would be a thorough investigation that would enable us to determine the character credibility and indeed we saw in judge kavanagh's to be. questionable demeanor so that was mazie hirono a democratic senator on the senate judiciary committee you heard her talking about republican jeff flake who pulled back and said that he could not yet vote in the full senate where this is set to go next until that f.b.i. investigation is complete again likely to wrap up at the end of the week one of those individuals that the f.b.i. does want to speak to is a man by the name of mark judge allegedly present when the sexual assault occurred according to dr christine blasio ford as well there will be

a number of other witnesses character witnesses into the behavior of the supreme court nominee that the f.b.i. will be investigating and for is part donald trump the u.s. president defending vigorously his supreme court nominees saying in fact that he believes he's credible and compelling and also wants to look into who may have leaked this whole accusation to the press in the first place something the president brought up on saturday given the fact that christine blazin for did not immediately come public with her claims instead going to a lawmaker the office of dianne feinstein a democratic senator and somehow from there it did become public to the press and this whole allegation that these allegations unfolded still the president appearing optimistic says he believes he does see that this will be voted alternately in favor of the supreme court nominee and he's so confident fact he does not have another nominee waiting in the wings if judge cavanagh is not ultimately confirmed

kimberly thanks very much. now in brazil the outgoing president michel tamar had promised to lift the latin america's largest economy from a deep recession although unemployment rates are falling the cuts in social programs have hit many brazilians many are sanchez reports from guyana in central brazil i think back in business but buried one of the largest construction steel providers in the city of he's beginning to supply the national market again just over a year ago. he had to file for bankruptcy most of them bankruptcy was the only option to survive it was really sad i thought to feed it we have managed to recover part of our loss but we still have to work hard to pay two million dollars in debts and perhaps he says hire back the seventy workers he had to lay off. in this highly industrialized region in the heart of brazil nearly three hundred fifty thousand people have lost their jobs as

a result of the economic crisis thirty million more brazilians are unemployed. although the country statistic agency says the unemployment rate has been consistently falling now it's more than twelve percent it warns it's because millions of brazilians gave up looking for jobs and joined the informal market to survive professor dyson is one of them her father i've worked as a teacher for more than twenty years but lost my job four years ago i managed to get temporary positions but that isn't sustainable when you need to pay your bills i have children grandchildren so i decided to work selling food on the streets so. one of the greatest challenges for the next president will be to help these worthily and to try to make ends meet with a formal job that's forty percent of those work for d.l.c. don't contribute social security and who work without benefit of the national institute of statistics says the pressure on the government is growing. forty

million are under. employed for example street vendors in formality has helped people survive the crisis that began in two thousand and thirteen but in formality is dangerous when people need to use the public services who pays for it. this economy crisis is in its fifth year the vice president of the state's industrial federation says recovery will depend on the measures the next president takes is the best to me investors will only come back if they trust in the new president we expect a president with strength to negotiate with the congress to put in practice all the promises made during the campaign that is the way investors will return. back at the steel factory the employees say they are counting their blessings for being in work of the political and economic instability continues and that means at any time the girls don't jumps in the sun just just here but as you britain's

prime minister says those who refused to back her checkers plan for braggs it are playing politics to resign most critics say how plans would compromise u.k. sovereignty the conservative party is holding its annual conference in the city of birmingham with just six months to go until the u.k. leaves the european union it is still not clear if a deal is even possible before the conference theresa may said if we leave with no deal we as the united kingdom government are still committed to doing everything we can to ensure there's no hard border between northern ireland and ireland. so what is the checkers plan all about well a cause for maintaining freedom of trade but seeks restrictions on the movement of people from the european union into recent days planned the british government regains control of borders britain will stop sending billions of dollars every year to the e.u. but how much it will pay for its divorce is unclear some estimate around fifty billion dollars

a major stumbling block is what happens to the border between ireland which is in the e.u. and northern ireland which is part of the united kingdom and many don't want a so-called hard border so when you're going to go reports from birmingham. prime minister to reason may have hoped that she would be able to unite the party ahead of the conference that she must be sorely disappointed once again voices of opposition against her prison and none more strongly than that of the former foreign minister boris johnson who in an interview with the sunday times claimed that. plan have plans to exit in the. posterous and even deranged quite strong words for someone who does have a very volatile relationship with the prime minister but this is really coming down to the wire here there are less than six months to go and there's still no guarantee of a deal being done those on the who want to see a more severe deal being done are quite happy for there to be a no deal situation but this is clashing with watch many who would like to see

a soft version of the deal want and amongst that there is no cohesion between them nicely taking on the other side that the more remain approach e.u. m.p.'s they have such as said to me to mrs may that there could be a polite rebellion if there isn't a recitation or a deal made on this subject such as that mrs may is caught between these two camps both of them highly impassioned and her leadership is not guaranteed unless she can try and secure a deal with the european union ahead of bricks it all right still ahead on al-jazeera a powerful typhoon in japan forced of quarter of a million people from their homes the changing faces of afghanistan's election more women candidates than ever before and biometric machines for the upcoming poll. and joe will have all the sports including a final at tennessee's change to open that's coming up.

hello again you're watching al-jazeera reminder of our top stories this hour indonesians are being warned to prepare for a death toll in the thousands of staff to friday's earthquake and tsunami on the island of. at least eight hundred thirty two people are confirmed dead but that's expected to rise dramatically powerful aftershocks are still being felt. it's been a low turn turn out of the polls in macedonia and a referendum on changing the country's name game is to try to end a dispute with neighboring greece which has a province with the same name renaming it north macedonia would pave the way for the country's e.u. and nato membership. has been voting as well in iraq's northern semi autonomous kurdish region for parliamentary elections and there comes a year after a failed bid for independence it was rejected by baghdad plunging the region into economic and political turmoil. a dubai international airport says it is operating

as normal that's after reports that yemen's hooty fighters had launched a drone attack on the facility the claim was made by the run t.v. just last month u.a.e. officials denied reports media that the group had targeted dubai airport with a drone a gulf nations are again trading accusations over the rift between qatar and its neighbors is at the u.n. in new york. there have been heated exchanges between qatar and its neighbors saudi arabia the united arab emirates and about how they accused qatar of sponsoring extremism and destabilizing the region accusations strongly dismissed by qatar which said that the emirates is and the saudis are the last ones to priests about peace and stability referring to the past track record of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates when it comes to war in yemen and its ability in libya and

also united states congress inquiry into nine eleven which basically blame saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for lax finest regulations and also for for wide and safe havens for extremist let's listen to what the qatari diplomat had to say about the allegations made by the united arab emirates saudi arabia and bahrain and then with you don't step on our and then at night you do what is cause for suspicion is that we find the state's target allegations at us and they don't practice what they preach they do not practice respect for state sovereignty and interfere in affairs of other states in fact they terrorize civilians and violate human rights and interfere in domestic affairs of other states in a manner that undermined international and regional peace and security and this has become evident in the repeated attempts by these states to destabilize security and stability in qatar they have plotted and finance an unsuccessful coup attempt in qatar in her response to the united arab emirates representative accuse qatar of

fabricating information. it is deplorable that cutter as usual has adopted political maneuvers an order to exacerbate the crisis instead of respecting its international obligations and settling the crisis has added an international dimension by discussing legal matters that were taken by the united arab emirates and cooperation with bahrain saudi arabia and egypt kastner is trying to disseminate false in roni is information about the measures taken by our countries these measures were in response to the destabilizing attitudes of qatar for decades fifty eight migrants have been transferred off a charity ship after five days waiting at sea they were handed over to authorities in malta a deal was struck on tuesday to relocate migrants from malta to four other european countries aquarius is the last non-government rescue ship operating in the mediterranean how campaigning is underway in afghanistan for next month's

parliamentary elections the vote is more than three years overdue and is seen as a test for presidential elections next april tony berkeley is in kabul. they can never be described as boring conflicts corruption intimidation and fraud afghan elections have it all but the parliamentary elections due to take place on october twentieth are at least promising something different. new government measures hope to put an end to the problems of previous elections election fraud is now a criminal offense voting systems will be cited in public buildings monitored by professional people and a new advance voting system will be used even so doubts still linger the afghan government has bought more than twenty thousand biometric devices for facial recognition and fingerprinting to prevent voter fraud but only four thousand have so far arrived in the country and operators have not yet been trained many believe there is insufficient time to get the system up and running meaning

a return to manual counting and the possibility of irregularities we are able to post election crisis the losing candidates will not accept the results and the political parties will use that as a force to risk and also to have one and target the government voters disheartened by past elections see the biometric system as a big step towards a transparent election process just very thick some did have a biometric system is good because many national i.d.'s are fake and there's fraud votes can be bought the elections are three and a half years overdue but because of the uncertainty over the new technology there are concerns that it could be postponed yet again this election is being seen as a test for next april presidential elections then as now the main issue will not just be transparency but it will also be think curity and that is a very delicate situation of the moment with the taliban controlling much of rural afghanistan. the taliban doesn't take part in elections and in the past has had

fingers cut off people who have voted the group is making almost daily attacks against the security forces this trend of the taliban is. in the weakness within the afghan government and this is certainly something that embolden the taller during the past couple of years. most of afghanistan's population is a literate these men waiting for poorly paid daily work in kabul don't care who is elected they care about survival. right now i still came here with a truck all of us go with them all of those clothes because we don't have money and we need food. politics can often be seen is about power and money but for the poor life can be defined by the food on their plate and in afghanistan today many people are hungry tony berkeley al-jazeera kabul. more than two hundred forty thousand

people have been ordered to leave their homes in western japan as a powerful typhoon bears down forecasters of one typhoon trami will bring record breaking winds possible landslides and floods storms forced allies to cancel more than a thousand flights and many train services have been suspended what are the reports from tokyo. doesn't travel is expected to transit over tokyo and a great mix of volatile areas throughout the night authorities have been warning people to stay indoors shops and businesses have closed earlier than usual and also the. system has shut down since eight pm local time now authorities have warned that in some area there could be rainfall that haven't been seen in about fifty years people have taken that advice seriously usually just streets here would be bustling at this time well most of the people and the business is all around.

people bracing themselves for certainly very strong words and storm throughout the night. al jazeera meteorologist everton fox is watching the storm. typhoon try me is now making its way further north east was and it really is moving so quickly you can see the position of the stall and this is easing up about gen ne the direction has already made landfall a little kind of rainfall totals we're looking at two hundred forty seven millimeters of rain it only twenty four hours now thankfully i suspect the numbers should start to decrease because the pace of the storm has been tracking along at around forty five kilometers per hour really really really quick moving system this one by the time we come to monday you can see how it's clear through broad skies to come back in behind just notice a little further south as this is the next one to keep an eye on this is calm right that's going to continue making its way further north which over the next couple of days looks like a lossy dry week for a japan when this does finally move out of i would try to does move out of the way

but by the weekend this next system will move through and i think we could see further was for disruption across the good parts of the main islands the nigerian president mohammed who will hadi will stand for reelection in february next year the ruling party or progressives congress approved his nomination on saturday the main opposition party has not selected a candidate yet the armed group boko harm the economy and the hardys own health problems are among the challenges he is dealing with south africa's rustler community says a court ruling on cannabis is a victory for their cultural rights the nation's top court says they are allowed to grow and smoke the herb in private but experts are saying the new rules may be difficult to police for me to miller reports from cape town. then claim williams five gareth prince is a qualified lawyer he's also rust a foreign he says that he's been prevented from joining the law society because of

his culture and daily use of cannabis for twenty years he's fought south african courts to get cannabis decriminalised saying that equality laws should also protect his way of life the greater victory is for the people of south africa in the sense that because rest of our us always advocated that cannabis is for the yelling of not just the south african people but for all people in the world and our philosophy is that we must make use of what we have in order to get what we want and we have an abundance of cannabis. the rest of therion community in cape town says cannabis is a religious and cultural sacrament the people here say they were often victims of police raids in the past now they can smoke and grow what they call a religious. while it will take up to two years for laws to be officially changed it's now legal to grow cannabis and consume it privately but still illegal to sell
