organization here in pittsburgh that helped resettle immigrants saying that they were bringing people over here and we're responsible for a holocaust those are the woods of the suspected shooter he has i said will appear in court on monday the authorities moving very fast on this case and it's important to remember this is according to the anti-defamation league the worst attack on the jewish community in u.s. history our rights and gallagher thank you well vigils are being held in several major cities across the u.s. and christian salumi is joining us from one of them that's taking place right now in brooklyn new york so what's been the reaction amongst the jewish community there . well there's been a huge outpouring of sympathy and support for the victims in pittsburgh i'm not only here in new york but really all across the country there been vigils taking place right behind me one is getting ready to get underway sponsored by jewish youth in the area but it's not just jews who are coming out and showing their support and solidarity other groups have been involved last night in new york there

was another rally with several hundred people that was co-written eyes by muslim groups as well and the people i've spoken to here today say that they are saddened and stunned but not particularly surprised because sadly there's been a huge increase in this country of anti-semitic hate crimes in the last couple of years in two thousand and seventeen according to the anti-defamation league hate crimes went up fifty seven percent in the united states and that includes very well publicized incidents like the rally in the charlottesville of neo nazis where people were chanting. chanting that jews will not replace our two more obscure assaults and vandalism at synagogues and temples so people sadly are not surprised and that's motivating them to come out even more and show their support for pittsburgh all right salumi thank you. hear the news hour on al-jazeera there's

plenty more ahead including sri lanka on high alert as the president accuses the prime minister of an assassination plot. i'm wayne hale in palu indonesia where it's been a month since an earthquake and tsunami left more than two thousand people dead in some areas life is beginning to get back to normal and it's clear much work is still to be done before affected areas can truly recover and find out which women's tennis player has signed off for twenty eight thousand on a high peter we'll have the details a little later in sport. but first brazilians have a few hours left to vote for their new president in a runoff that might see the country's first democratically elected far right leader coming to power with a right wing candidate your boss a narrowcast that his ballot a couple of hours ago the former army captain is leading in the polls despite

accusations of being racist and sexist his leftist challenger fernando had died from the workers' party has narrowed the lead on the eve of the election to reza both live from a bowl sonar a stronghold in rio de janeiro so for those supporters what are they saying about today's elections. long to feel more like the final of the one. even though the only. thing that. will win this election don't carry banners military t. shirts banners saying no to the workers' party among other things i want and i don't know if it ever year to day i mean very tight security wearing bullet proof that not forget that he suffered and actually laughed at me not me then any. kind of arab only thing. on the line. approach to work rhyme because the economy i

think. not the only thing here today is that it. can reveal them not to get better or voting against polls or not oh there's a lot for your you not vote for not has promised to run the country with an iron fist at the same time both sonora has lost some points in the last few days to raise it is there any chance that's how dogs can turn things around for himself. oh most definitely very different initially between most and i don't think. now. the reason many say are some of the body no comment made by wolf and i don't and he's done that that the only thing needed to shut down this. was an a and i told you and i for. one foot in the film needs to explain what he

meant by that but i feel like that. and i know that he was positive that resilience defend democracy and defend actions most analysts say that this won't be possible at all all right there is a both thank you to reza giving us the update from rio de janeiro well let's look at both scenarios popularity because it has been on the rise despite his homophobic racist and sexist comments so the polls indicate more women support both the noro than his workers' party rival fernando had died same trend is seen among voters who identify as black or brown and the difference is even more clear among those who identify as neither black nor white but the poll suggests voters living in households that make the equivalent to the minimum wage or less are supporting the left wing candidates and that's fernando how does brazil's poorest region in the northeast has traditionally been a workers' party stronghold it's also the only region where enjoys more support

than his rival and according to the polls all other regions in brazil tend to favor joe your son aro let's talk about this and speak to geraldo zahar and he's a professor at the pontifical catholic university of south paolo and that is where he is joining us from via skype thanks for speaking to us so on the eve of the presidential runoff there was one poll that football so no are at a fifty four percent approval rating versus had died at forty six percent also nor is a man that's been accused of making racist as well as sexist comments how do you explain his popularity. well it seems that nothing that he say that really matters if you are looking for a strong man and he has built rhetoric around this idea that he's a strong man and he's a new face in politics that he can turn things around and particularly that he's not he's not he's not little silver the former president so he has built this image

of fighting corruption being a strong man and i mean it doesn't matter how many polemics things he. doesn't stick to him so how much of his success that is down to what many say are the failure is off the left us workers party well there's something to that. the presidency of doom a recession. was a hard time in brazil the economy. had to turn down and of course doing it was engaged and the economy hasn't picked up changed but a lot of it is around hate speech and sort of very aggressive rhetoric against the left and against. a particular little of the former president was in jail corruption scandal so it's a very aggressive rhetoric that started back in twenty four change right after dumas reelection so sinatra was the one candidate that was able to to build his

image around this around the same he's often depicted in the western media least as being brazil's trump do you agree with that is that an accurate assessment. well of course there is something else is aggressive rhetoric and plentiful in expectance but brazil is not the us so he can imagine that he can get away with the types of statements and moves that trying to get gets away in the international sphere. i'll become tired in march to detect in the philippines are may be aired again in turkey. we are going to have some difficult times ahead he has made some anti democratic statements in the past for you if you look towards the future of brazil are you worried about the fate of democracy in brazil under a post henschel presidency by joy or both are i'm very i'm very worried i'm very

concerned not by democracy itself that the form of democracy i think we're going to keep voting. but the author institutions that had to sustain our democracy that promote equality include people in democracy those are they need institutions i'm concerned about how justice is going to work how the police force is going to work what sort of need you have read on the press that we will have. those those cases certainly more than if we're going to vote or not take we're going to keep voting but but under more much more constrained that we lived in the past few years it's all right to drop as a hobby thank you for joining us on al-jazeera sri lanka's president musser apollo service center is accusing the sock prime minister of an able in corruption mismanaging the economy in an address to the nation and run out of a crime a single ancestor says this missile was illegal and he refuses to leave his

official residence he wants an emergency session of parliament approved he still has a majority of the speaker of parliament has refused to endorse vic roma saying sing a second. mr ranil wickremasinghe behaved very arrogant and stubbornly in the government mostly making decisions individually which led to a serious political crisis you want to be in i must state that the appointments dismissals and the appointment of a new government has been done with the advice of legal experts in accordance with the constitution and i totally reject the allegation that they were in violation of the constitution and not in accordance with the law here's this with an update from colombo. in his statement to the nation present my three policy has basically provide a dream for his behavior his actions his decisions that basically has plunged this country into a lot of uncertainty over the last forty eight hours president. basically saying it

was all about. the former prime minister the prime minister he said. it's all his fault i was left no option but to appoint him the rajapaksa but to break that down he says victor missing his political conduct was very politically uncivilized sort of belittle the victory of two thousand and fifteen that. was. stubbornly taking not collective decisions that he tended to make individual decisions alluding to a small sort of inner circle that he made decisions with now citizen also said and denied categorically that he has violated the country's constitution saying all his decisions had been taken with legal advice and in accordance with the constitution of the country obviously a little earlier in the day the parliamentary speaker. asking the president.

basically to respect and protect the rights of. until such time another person from within parliament. is able to demonstrate that they hold the confidence of parliament so basically cartridges turia asking the president to take on board that later saying he thought it was democratic and just and basically also saying that suspending parliament at the sixteenth was a bit too much and asking him to seriously reconsider charulata hog is an associate fellow in the asia pacific programme at chatham house and she thinks i'm a singer's dismissal was arbitrary it would be unfair to really see that this is short of a constitution while a constitutional lawyer certainly debating on the exact nuances in which it constitutes a cool let's look at the facts the two main issues here one the dismissal of running because things are the second appointment of mind the rajapaksa if we look

at the way procedures are set in place within the should and can constitution on board grounds this is arbitrary and unconstitutional the kurdish issue here is the manner in which the state security forces have rallied out in support of my hand the rajapaksa and the has been and a word clamp down on the media so i think in all you would see that this max of a certain level of arbitrary ness authoritarianism and undemocratic behavior chancellor angela merkel's christian democratic union party has suffered big losses in regional pools people in germany central region of house voted in local elections that were widely seen as a test of her national government circles party came in first but with ten percent fewer votes than before the social democrat party that allies with merkel also lost one percent of its side. nato's biggest military maneuvers since the cold war have

a. sport but peter. hello there we're still got a fair amount of rain that's pushing its way across the middle east at the moment it's working its way away from the east coast of the mediterranean though so for us in turkey and all the way down southwards it looks fine and dry and settled however the rain that gave us all the very wet weather recently is now here making its way up through into parts of kazakstan for the very heavy downpours and to that and eventually as we head through the day on monday should begin to fade so more in the way of dry weather here having a maximum temperature just of twelve degrees so generally i think if we had three monday it does look a good deal dry up for the south though this still a fair amount of rain here still lots of cloud at the moment too and you can see

that clouds still with us for monday and still giving us one or two rather heavy showers looks like most of those showers will be over parts of saudi intruding riyadh some of the very very heavy crude to give us some flooding as well even further towards the south and for many of us in the southern parts of africa it's fine and dry you see the cloud though this huge area of cloud in the phone northern parts warm up that's just sinking its way southwards in some of us in angola likely to see a few shop showers to the south about the looks fine dry still very warm even talk about thirty one cape town hall that will fit twenty three and the movie quite it brief. on counting the cost the killing of. focus the spotlight on saturday that much how does the kingdom really wield over the global economy will look at the old game plus the dynamic between the world of tech investments and saudi cash. counting the

again you're watching the al-jazeera news hour here is a reminder of the top stories turkish police say the saudi consul station chief in istanbul went to a forest north of the city a day before a journalist was murdered the saudi prosecutor general meanwhile is on his way to turkey to discuss the case ankara is pushing for the extradition of all eight hundred suspects but saudi arabia wants to prosecute them in the kingdom brazilians have a few hours left to vote for their new president in iran all right wing candidate joe your boss is leading in the polls this by accusations of being racist and sexist his leftist challenger fernando had died from a workers' party though his they're at the lead on the eve of the election. officials in the u.s. say a man who shot eleven people in a synagogue in pittsburgh spoke of genocide and the desire to kill jewish people the suspect robert bauer is now in custody is facing twenty nine charges over. one

social media platforms potentially facing closure following the shooting in pittsburgh gab is a social network that's become a favorite of the far right because it provides a home for those kicked off of other services it bills itself as a free speech alternative to facebook and twitter a robber barrons posted anti jewish conspiracy theories on this page on his page claiming that jewish back routes were funding the migrant caravan heading towards the u.s. forwarder dobbs hosting provider says it's pulling the service effective on monday it's payment partners have also suspended its accounts but the company says thanks to gab these law enforcement agencies now have concrete evidence and a clear motive more speech is always the answer and now god is being forced on the internet for the disgusting actions of one man that's makes a larry magid he's a technology journalist and the c.e.o. of connect safely dot org joining us via skype from california. silicon valley so

gallup also tweeted this a short while ago larry magid that they've secured another web provider so clearly they are saying that they are not going anywhere and they champion free speech and they say they defend liberty and free expression online is that the case. well i presume they do allow anything on their platform photo nuclear that might be true but the speech that they permit is speech that facebook and twitter and other furthermore stablish social media sites have learned to ban and i say learn to because certainly twitter when it first opened the door of allowed virtually anything on its site and they have over time realized that hate speech is destructive and it destroys sort of the fabric of their own community and they've decided that it's not welcome then court facebook has very similar policy so while these social media sites like facebook and twitter do allow for a variety of political opinion but they don't allow for demeaning and critic and basically threatening any ethnic group religion or any other group of people and if

so that opens the door for organizations like gap which in the united states can operate legally but certainly outside of the mainstream so are you saying that organizations organizations like actually bear responsibility or some responsibility at least when it comes to attacks like the one we saw in pittsburgh at the synagogue well certainly nobody at gab pulled the trigger i'm not blaming the founder of the organization for the horrible tragedy. but i do think that they create a forum where these types of messages can be perpetuated i went on there yesterday and looked around and there were a lot of anti-semitic anti muslim anti-gay comments there which i think do fan fan the flames of hatred so while it's certainly proper for people to have discussions about how they feel about various issues when you start demeaning entire groups of people really be religion flag judaism in islam when you do that in a hateful manner you do thirteen lee encourage people like this man who did the

shoot out now again i don't say that to get people get anything illegal but they are creating an environment where these kinds of conversations can take place and hate is just festering so how can they be controlled and shut they be controlled if they are providing the breeding grounds for hate speech to fester on mine. well here in the united states we have our first amendment and it would pretty much prohibit anybody from preventing them from operating however i think people in the community who are on gad could counter speak whenever they feel anything that is horribly hateful there could be counter speech unfortunately i'm not sure that much of that maybe thumb and i think the people who run them could create certain rules that certain lines that you just don't cross just like you don't shout fire in a crowded theater that's not a first amendment right when you start threatening certain groups of people though there are lines you don't cross and if anybody literally threaten the safety of somebody on any one of these services then authorities could possibly move in not

as they get to sit with but against the person who made the posting because threatening violence is against the law right larry magid we thank you very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera. thank you well for months palestinians in gaza have had to leverage just four hours a fellow actress city a day now that's about to double and maybe even triple but this rare positive development depends as always on the tense relationship between hamas and israel very false that reports from gaza. for the first time in two years gaza's only power station is working at seventy five percent capacity three of its four turbines generating desperately needed electricity the power company says the territory can no expect a rise in supply to twelve hours a day from purer than five now sort of an agenda and so i mean israel will get one hundred twenty megawatts and now seventy five from the poet station so right now we can talk about implementing to schedule of eight hours on and eight hours off when

we have chain craze a little bit more i forgot this is poorest cut off from alternatives like generators and solar power the idea of a reliable power supply has become the stuff of dreams but also supplies some respite for garza's collapsing economy she's manufactured. says sales of harvard in the last year regular power supplies would save him expensive generator fuel and more importantly could spur demand for government to see that out of the mix of caught up if there's no fridge they say i'm not going to buy cheese if they get eight hours of electricity in a row they can keep it property that they can buy without thinking twice and our sales increase that much rests on politics qatar has pledged to provide fuel for the power station for six months supplies have already been affected though by tensions between israel and hamas which controls the gaza strip the ability for the

power station to continue operating like this though depends on israeli political decision and already this month the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman has use that power denying the fuel trucks access to gaza. that followed a rocket fired from gaza that severely damaged in israeli home the supply was restored only after a reduction in the scale of that week's friday border protest this friday so another exchange of rockets and israeli air strikes for now israel has allowed the fuel to continue the palestinian president mahmoud abbas who for more than a year has been imposing economic sanctions on gaza has opposed the fuel deal which was negotiated through the un bypassing his palestinian authority. gaza's people a painfully aware of how much lies outside their control for the moment they have at least one red development they can welcome inching them if only a little closer to something resembling normal twenty first century life harry force it out just syria gaza they had if yemen's anti drug security unit has been

killed in the southern port city of aden colonel fuddled said in the assault alongside two members of his security team after gunmen opened fire on their car armed men had been targeting senior officials and clerics in recent months since the outbreak of yemen's war in twenty fifteen aden has seen a spike in the illegal drugs trade the leaders of turkey france germany and russia have made little progress during talks on the future of syria in istanbul they emerged with a joint statement saying they're committed to finding a political solution to the seven year war but they've been unable to agree on how to end the conflict a mother but i as a lecturer istanbul aides and university he says the crux of the issue is what should happen to syria's president bashar assad. putin is speaking about the syrian arab republic the syrian regime he is not happy with this turn so russia is adamantly insisting on key being bashar asad word on the other hand you have turkey

the opposition the european union lots of the international community believe that bush is the main cause of the whole problem so whether he is the legitimate representative of the syrian people all there should be a kind of any political transition that would lead to drafting a new constitution involving all parties of the opposition that's something that the international community is trying to use the leverage over russia and the syrian regime but it seems there do not have that much calm on the other hand you have russia that wants to see that it does have a different agenda in the region unlike the occupation of iraq in two thousand and three forces russia wants to give an example that they want to keep the regime but on the other hand they want to build a kind of a state with the syrian regime still in power that's something that the opposition

will not accept the international community will not be happy with that's the whole problem they need to solve and if though if they solve this then a kind of election would be possible to talk about an indonesian city is facing a health crisis a month after being devastated by an earthquake and tsunami terentia rain now threatens to spread malaria and dengue fever and at least two thousand two hundred people have died and tens of thousands were left homeless after serious one hangs their. in the ashes of disaster some can find value even a month on in the ruins there's no shortage of scrap that can provide income which for so many people was taken away by the earthquake and tsunami. the indonesian government's emergency response phase has come to an end meaning the search for bodies has finished which many here believe was done too soon. and his wife were working on the beach when the tsunami struck their three year old son is

still missing into your home on a mana a well known man articulates what i've looked in refugee camps i went all around the mountains i've been everywhere and i can't find them i've looked for almost a month. it's still there may be thousands of people still unaccounted for but the government said it had no choice but to call off the search really believe if you continue your question it will be counterproductive because you know when you get the body also it will be a health problem over health is one of the main concerns for survivors with more than two hundred thousand displaced many living in camps with poor sanitation and approaching rainy season will increase the risk of outbreaks of dengue fever or malaria. slightly more study shelters are being built on the outskirts of palu when many of those left homeless will need to stay for a long time in some of the affected areas life is back to normal markets are flourishing once again in others little has changed since the earthquake with the

remains of buildings left to wait for the wrecking machines people affected by this disaster will of course need ongoing support and rehabilitating the surrounding areas properly will be a slow process the concern is that indonesia is a disaster prone country meaning that attention and resources may soon be diverted elsewhere if that happens plans for a better safer city may be put to the side in favor of a quick rebuild but for so many survivors there's no contemplating the future just yet it's still about trying to comprehend what happens. i still don't have a job i don't know what kind of work i'm still confused i want to keep looking for my son but i don't know where else to go or we haven't gone to stay in a refugee camp yet because i'm still focusing on finding my son. in central sulawesi a lingering sense of shock and despair is mixed with the beginning of recovery from
