6:08 am
stadium in central england thousands of supporters of visited the scene of the tragedy to pay their respects although police are yet to formally confirm the casualties all the circumstances of the aircraft coming down reports from leicester . the carpet of flowers some flags and scarves grew steadily as the hours passed from young and old some in tears some still struggling to come to terms with the news. really did pass the shock isn't. much and the next minute. the mourners included a thai youth academy team who knelt and prayed for the victims. be shy schriever down a problem the fifth richest man in thailand bought leicester city in twenty ten four years later his investment and belief in the club sort promoted into the english premier league and in twenty sixteen against all expectations they actually won it
6:09 am
i know i never thought i'd see leicester win the league never. a not just a brawl some sinful talk dignity he was. a special pass the helicopter seemed to take off as usual from the center of the football pitch about an hour after saturday's match but moments later witnesses saw it spinning in the air and it came down in a car park next to the stadium and burst into flames. on sunday respect were paid at the other games being played in the premier league at leicester city women's team had damage against manchester united ladies counselled so much in the first reaction would be i just don't believe it you know just it's a shock still stands still shocked still so i think in. the amount of the tributes and the warmth of the inscriptions on them you might expect for a long serving servant of the club like a goalscorer not for a foreign owner who has the v. shape was a very unusual man in that respect
6:10 am
a much beloved of the people here in leicester. the burnt out wreckage of the helicopter is still in the car park where it came down the investigation into the exact cause of the crash will take many days. the sense of loss that will last even longer paul brennan al-jazeera leicester. more on the shooting of eleven people as a u.s. synagogue on saturday the u.s. president has condemned the attack as an anti semitic crime this includes a violent this it concludes a violent week in america a man was arrested on friday for sending more than a dozen explosive packages to a high profile critics of president trump and on wednesday a gunman shot two african-americans at a grocery store in kentucky is possibly facing hate crime charges with some studies suggest that such incidents are part of a wiring trend hate crimes in the country's ten largest cities by twelve percent in two thousand and seventeen this is according to a study at california state university the day before the pittsburgh shooting
6:11 am
a civil rights group reported that anti-semitic incidents had surged nearly sixty percent over the previous year now that is the highest level in two decades f.b.i. data from two thousand and sixteen that is the last year for which figures are actually available shows that more than half of the victims in anti religious hate crimes od jewish around a quarter of the mama slim will now joining us from philadelphia is claire finkelstein she is a law professor at pennsylvania law school thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us this attack was one of the deadliest on the jewish community in u.s. history. does it reflect a rise in anti-semitism in the country. it very much does and it really lies at the intersection of two tendencies that we see both of
6:12 am
which are on the increase number one we have an increase in anti semitism due to an increase in hate and a rise in white nationalism and that has been going on for a number of years but then on top of that with the current political atmosphere in the us we have an increase in anti muslim sentiment and with this story the two of them come together because the suspect was convinced that the jewish community was partially responsible for increasing and assisting immigrants that were coming into the country some of whom were muslims so it was a obviously a very disturbed individual who ran these two things together and of course the the became a target. in their place of worship in this case jewish worshipers and the reality that you describe and we were just running through some facts and
6:13 am
figures there about. jews and and other groups of people being the target of hate crimes but particularly perhaps with the jewish community it kind of clashes with this perception this historical context of the united states being one of the safest countries in the world for jews are hate crimes being driven then by the spread of this anti semitic white supremacist ideology or is it just that existing forces are becoming in bold and. i think it's a little bit of both so there was always a level of anti-semitism and white nationalism in this country what we have seen with the current administration is that this president when he speaks to his base really fuels white nationalists and we sat down in charlottesville and we saw the president's much resented and decried response to charlottesville in which he said
6:14 am
that famously there were good people on both sides. so white nationalist feel emboldened with president trump when you add to the social media which is like giving white nationalists a bullhorn where they can find one another in a centralized place in this case for this attack or a website called which is proud of the fact that they do not censor as much as other websites they a very small but vocal minority come to control the politics and of course it's infectious and so we have many people who start to latch on to the society ology who may be somewhat to range disturbed individuals who might not otherwise find this as an outlet for their or. as you say social media has provided a platform to some of these individuals not least the synagogue government but can
6:15 am
this sort of behavior on social media potentially be used by law enforcement to identify individuals that would make that leap from racist and he semitic hateful views and opinions to actually committing acts of violence. i'm very glad that you asked that question because in fact one of the things that i wanted to say is that we use social media in a very negative way in other words we have inadequate censorship and therefore these racists ideologies can catch on but we don't use it in the way that it might be beneficial namely to call out individuals for law enforcement to identify individuals who are at risk of acting out is particularly disturbing when you see that in this case the shooter said right before he went in i'm going in now if we
6:16 am
had better monitoring of social media we a law enforcement officials might be able to act on that immediately but that would require an entirely different level of responsiveness and alerts based on social media. it's been it's been quite a week hasn't it because this horrific tragedy in pittsburgh pennsylvania comes after the wave of suspicious packages that were sent to high profile critics of us president donald trump and indeed the the two black shoppers that were killed at a grocery store how do you see all these things potentially coming together affecting the mood the climate in the country just ahead of some crucial elections . it's extremely demoralizing and discouraging and in this case for me personally i should add that one of the victims in pittsburgh was someone that i knew quite well and it's so it's very very
6:17 am
painful to watch this one cuts particularly close to home i think in advance of the midterms. it will energize the base to some extent the democratic base but unfortunately there's also. an or an increased energy on the far right as well and we see an increase political activism all across the board it's very very hard to tell whether or not this will have an impact on the midterms but i do think that people who are concerned about the growing levels of hate discrimination and racial bias in this country may have an increased incentive to turn out at the polls well thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us we do appreciate it from philadelphia clare finkelstein law professor thanks for hanging out little school. you are with the

6:25 am
nora's rise to presidential favorites has been fueled by an anti-establishment wave of data seen by many as a member of the old guard and a struggle to catch up to pulse and massive lead we're joining me now is mary santoro a political scientist and professor at the state university of rio de janeiro thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us first of all. good evening first of all how would you describe the consequences of a pulse an r a victory. well we all know that they never go through are extremists that have been elected to the presidents the moccasins suffers for not seeing that resume rubicon with a different is not unlike that but we're going to have grown limbs with violence against minorities against social activities probably some of that for the growth of mental new freedom of the press perhaps only universities as well so we're facing difficult years ahead in brazil. and yet we see that ball scenario
6:26 am
has enjoyed a wave of support in this election campaign people are angry with establishment politicians they're angry about crime and corruption tell us more about what has fueled popularity the rise of bush is the result of five years of deep political and economic crisis in brazil the worst recession since the return of democracy unemployment levels in the corruption scale don't stop the fact that so many of the brazilian most important political leaders and our biggest political parties as well so people are very angry disappointed with this to two shops they want a strong leader to take brazil out of the crisis and most are not always able to presenting self an outsider as a have been against the establishment so many people are supporting him because of that it doesn't mean to the agree with everything that the books on the other say
6:27 am
but they are betty that please the knew that he is somebody who has never been tried as a president that may help resume in these difficult rises so could that actually happened could we see a best case scenario scenario scenario where all scenario is the man who fixes the economy contains corruption and possibly succeeds way his predecessor is a failed. it's very difficult to believe in that because the problems that resists facing right now they're big room very deep in our society they are because of all poor educational system our lack of good in for infrastructure our struggling economy this is not something that we're going to change overnight and most were nervous oh goody who doesn't have experience in running in fifteen years never been me or minister governor or anything except been a member of congress for thirty years if they're his political party all those
6:28 am
grueling controls just ten percent of coldness so that means that he's going to face a very fragmented parliament if he were ever to make all sorts of alliance in negotiations to run the good of the country and keep doesn't have a good background in doing disguise and of coalition creating this kind of alliance but is is tank you know i'm just wondering he's saying that he will have to build alliances and that he will have to do this and he'll face a fragmented parliament but could that actually be a positive thing in the sense that it forces him to build some kind of consensus and it perhaps plays a role in controlling some of his authoritarian tendencies should should they should he have. oh sure this is what we're expecting rate now that the checks and balances of resume the markers are grouped. under control to limit the effect of his will to do that in discourses and behavior and while we're waiting to see there
6:29 am
are some good signs in brazil for example the judges are reacting to the most. hard how the stupina is of busan are trying to control the then there we have a vibrant civil society a preview of the press and we are betting on that in this struggle to defend our democracy but at the same time we know that hate to speech is a problem in many countries but never but everybody everywhere when a far right leader has been elected we saw a spike in hate crimes we saw that in the united states you saw that in houston here of the rear facing this threat in brazil as well well thank you very much for giving us some insight into how the situation there could unfold santoro joining us there from rio de janeiro to indonesia now where the city of palu is facing a public health crisis exactly a month after being devastated by an earthquake and tsunami at least two thousand
6:30 am
two hundred people died and tens of thousands were left homeless in the disaster drench ill right now friends to spread malaria and dengue fever there is wayne hey is that. 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 and your quantum on a 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 stalled there may be thousands of people still unaccounted for but
6:31 am
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. health problem. 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
6:32 am
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 happened. 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 a distance the bay and city a calm now but survivors will never forget the destruction unleashed a month ago and those they lost wayne hey al jazeera indonesia. and we go to kenya now where the sea is providing a new type of livelihood fisherman less interested in catching fish than they are
6:33 am
in conserving them so called refrains as a part of a government initiative to improve marine life and preserve fish stocks. catherine so reports from the to island on the kenyan coast. meet the islands refrain just there once fisherman in lima county's largest island on the kenyan coast depleted fish stocks pushed them to swap roles and become protectors of the ocean most islanders depend on for their livelihood they've learned the science of counting fish species and other sea creatures in protected areas and also telling if the ocean floor is in good shape. they then take the information back to their villages and decide collectively what to do next. as fisherman who sat down and realized that we have to protect our resources we saw the destruction of the environment of the number of fish.
