a party but rather the celebration of a country. a former army paratrooper and an admirer of brazil's military dictatorship he said good criminal is a dead criminal and has promised to clean the country of what he calls the red communist threat he supporters say he's the man brazil needs. the poor people he's very simple. everybody. the people have gathered outside your. apartment they're chanting. and celebrating they say they want order and progress that's written in the brazilian. many who fear that. the threat to democracy. told us he celebrates every election in brazil because he was banned from voting for twenty seven years during brazil's military rule. i cherish every election because it's our way of

expressing l. selves and this election is more important than ever because of what's at stake and what's at stake. this is the first defeat of the workers' party in sixteen years when former president won the presidency. what we saw was an awakening of people as to what was at play in the selection precipice being put to the test we had twenty sixty one president dilma was being a beached we had the unfair imprisonment of president the failure to follow the u.n. resolution we will forward with courage to take. this country democracy is of value above all of us. has vowed to appoint former members of the military in cabinet and that he run the country with an iron fist analysts believe his election with presents a challenge to the brazilian the capacity to defend themselves against. the

democrat. way of doing things and what we've seen i think from the t.s.a. you the electoral courts and some of the other instances makes me worry that perhaps not person at all will take office in january he's charged then will be to fulfill his promise to kick start prisons economy and end a crime wave that has already left thousands of people dead. it is how well and jeffy that religion era. a police officer has been killed in the afghan capital after a suicide attacker targeted an election commission office several staff members were injured and i sort of threaten to disrupt parliamentary elections that began on october the twentieth multiple attacks have marred the polls and sri lanka's new prime minister is assuming duties after his son this appointment triggered a political crisis former president mahinda rajapaksa is replacing running the

is unconstitutional and that it is illegal now within this even missing has called for parliament to be essentially convened within that press conference literally as we sat down with the prime in the form of prime minister we heard news breaking that the president had suspended parliament now things old not auger well for democratic processes the way a democracy is expected and seen to function the very fact that this entire sort of swearing in of my in the rajapaksa came as a bolt from the blue now the fact that parliament has been suspended with no one really knowing what is to unfold in the coming days in the coming weeks does not auger well for sri lanka the people themselves are wondering what to expect in fact they don't know quite frankly who their prime minister is. for months people in gaza have been living with just four hours of electricity

a day now that's about to double maybe even triple. positive development depends on always the relationship between us and israel are a force that explains. for the first time in two years gaza's only power station is working at seventy five percent capacity three of its core turbines generating desperately needed electric. the power company says the territory can now expect a rise in supply to twelve hours a day from purer than five. and i mean israel will get one hundred twenty megawatts and now seventy five from the power station right now we can talk about implementing to schedule of eight hours on and eight hours off when we have craze a little bit more i regard as 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 c.n.n. . 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 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 his really home the supply was restored only after

a reduction in the scale of that week's friday border protest this friday saw 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. garza'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 forsett out his era gaza americans of all faiths of united to mourn the victims of saturday's synagogue shooting in pittsburgh eleven people were killed and suspected gunman robert ballas burst into the building yelling slurs against jews in a moment we'll hear from kristen salumi in new york but first al-jazeera she habitat's the reports from pittsburgh. it's

a message of defiance and of the need to address the causes of right wing extremist violence was heard at a multi-faith of the drill in pittsburgh early sunday evening we will recognize this moment this is a moment when this nation needs to heal in the nation needs to come together under the common sense of how we stop then it's like this from happening ever again. rabbi jonathan pohlmann was there as the shots rang out and attempted to help congregants to safety what happened will not break us it will not ruin us we will continue to fly and sing and worship and learn together and continue our historic medic's legacy in this city with the friendliest people that we know. as police and swat teams responded it soon became apparent that this was

a hate crime the suspected gunman robert bowers told police he wanted to kill as many jews as possible with an assault rifle and pistols killed eight men and three women their ages range from fifty four to ninety seven american couple and two brothers among the dead during the course of his deadly assault on the people the synagogue bauer's made statements regarding genocide and his desire to kill jewish people. after standoff with police powers eventually surrendered and remains in federal custody today so our complaint charges bowers with twenty nine separate federal crimes. outside the tree of life some people have been laying flowers for the victims all day this is one of the oldest jewish communities in the u.s. there was no tolerance for anti-semitism in america or for any form of religious or racial hatred or prejudice shortly after the shooting president calling for unity in a nation where hate crime is on the rise but in fact as investigators search home for

evidence there's now renewed focus on the rhetoric the president himself uses bows appears to have been triggered by white extremist conspiracy theory about u.s. jews funding the caravan of central american migrants making its way through mexico a theme president trump himself as alluded to the president and his supporters however disavowing any link instead musing that perhaps. may have prevented this massacre. in new york a show of solidarity with the victims of the pittsburgh shootings the connections between the jewish community there and the one in new york one of the largest and oldest in the united states are personal and i have friends who live in pittsburgh and i fancy. that when i reaction i was scared like because in my family i think that this particular thing is really really scary especially because it's not a synagogue which is like i spent eight hours a week in my synagogue police here and around the country have stepped up security not just at synagogues but at all places of worship jewish leaders say the present

climate of hate is taking a financial as well as emotional toll but synagogues and churches and temples and mosque. also have to think security measures we're spending a fortune to money. to protect our children our congregants new york's jewish community is vast and politically diverse ranging from orthodox to secular but united in outrage hate crimes against the jewish community have surge not just here in new york but around the country fifty seven percent in two thousand and seventeen according to the anti-defamation league but it's not just jews who are under attack african-american churches mosques have also seen increases as have many immigrant groups the pittsburgh gunman made clear his hatred of jews on social media some of his comments targeted the hebrew immigrant aid society because of its work helping refugees i've actually been doing interfaith work since i was seventeen years old albert khan is

a jewish lawyer who works as the legal director for the council on american islamic relations and this was an act of terrorism by so on repeating the president's wise about the muslim community about the refugee community we've seen so many attacks by those driven to violence by the president's words we need to come together to show we are better than this that we are stronger than that's that we will transcend this moment and acts of hatred have. that said the attack in pittsburgh appears to be bringing jews and other religious minorities that much closer together christian salumi al jazeera new york. take a look at the headlines here now does iran now one hundred ninety nine people are missing feared dead after the plane they were on crashed into the sea off the coast of indonesia at traffic controllers lost contact with the law in their flight

after upfront. getting to the heart of the matter the three big challenges facing human prine in the twenty first century nuclear war climate change and technological destruction realities whatever is there to fear is not in me it is in the people of uganda hear their story on. four years on has vladimir putin won the war in ukraine i'll ask you crane's deputy prime minister. i made the house when brazilians head to the polls this sunday will the elect a fascist president enjoyable so narrow and could the world's largest democracy with a return to military rule under his leadership that discussion but first the conflict

in ukraine has left thousands dead and more than a million people displaced with russia and its proxies still in control of crimea and the dog region is there any end in sight to this conflict and how worried should we be about neo nazi militias fighting on the ukrainian side earlier i spoke to this week's headliner ukraine's deputy prime minister even on a clip bush didn't. even say thanks for joining me up front vice prime minister is it fair to say that more than four years into this conflict your government the government of ukraine has lost a war with russia in eastern ukraine. it's totally the opposite i think because i think that ukraine is a winning the war because ukraine is defending itself defending its territory if at the beginning we had to fight with volunteer battalions at this point we have one of the strongest armies in europe it ranks tenth in europe right now and we have

the capacity to do with held to this attacks of the russian federation moreover i think we have been also successful in in securing the worldwide support to stand united and to deter the aggression of the russian federation you sure you are winning in that you have one of the strongest armies in europe yet you still don't control the territory roughly the size of closer with a population of more than six million people pro russian separatists of controlled region of ukraine since the summer of twenty fourteen and you know we're near to getting rid of them and getting that back or you well it's not about russian separatists and we have to straighten up our language it's about regular russian army which is on the territory of ukraine all of the so-called separatists they have been aligned and trained and provided with weapons by the russian federation and they have been managed by the russian federation colette more of their point is

you haven't beaten them and you haven't taken by some way into the fifty year of this war how can you say you're winning. because we have taken a very conscious decision to fall on the international law and we are tearing to the minsk agreements that we've our president has signed and we have promised that we will be taking over the territories back only by political and diplomatic whence but not with the attacks by our military we have to be able to name spade a spade and not pretend that there is any type of civil war or whatever going on in ukraine it's foreign aggression and ukraine is taking care of. itself and holding this holding this attack from the russian federation and yes unfortunately we're spending a huge human capital on this war unfortunately we have so many people that we have

more than twenty five thousand wounded as well both civilians and military and it's not easy and i think that calls on the international community to work more. in united in united fashion together and to ensure that they are creating pressure for the russian federation you say it's all foreign aggression not a civil war and any foreign aggression is a big part of the story no doubt about it but to say there's no civil conflict is just disingenuous you take crimea for example which the russians took over how it's controversial referendum in twenty fourteen now we can argue about the polling or the referendum results but the reality is lots and lots of ethnic russians living in crimea were perfectly happy to not be part of ukraine and to be part of russia since then you have more ethnic russians moving into crimea about ukrainians leaving crimea the russians have expanded their presence a grammy you would never get in crimea back surely that's a reality now that you just have to accept no we don't have to accept this reality we've seen the sample of baltic states that have been occupied by the soviet union

for more than fifty years and. for that matter the u.s. for example did not recognize this this occupation of the. as as an illegal one of the u.s.s.r. of these baltic republics and that's exactly will be the case that with that crimea it will one day come back home saying would you meet me halfway and say there are plenty of people who are not happy with me from kiev would you accept that. it's not about being unhappy with the rules from it's about that fact that quite a few of. russian citizens have already moved in crimea at this particular point that the terror and the human rights violations in crimea are just terrific people are afraid to speak out and no one is denying the human rights abuses either by russian forces or russian separatists but the u.n. which of mana to the conflict in produce reports on the conflict have put out

detailed report accusing both sides of human rights abuses they've accused the government of ukraine of using artillery and shelling against civilian areas what's your response to the united nations. we have this special monitoring mission of the oil on the territory of ukraine and now we are talking with you about don't boss we're not talking about crimea let's be straight about that and clear about that yes and we are very appreciative that we have this mission because this mission but can give objective information on the what is happening ukrainian military do have the right to fight back when they are being or when they are being shelled by the russian forces they don't have to show really in areas which is what human rights and international monitors have said it's not about selling this of ilion areas but unfortunately sometimes russian federation forces are stationing their ammunition and for example kindergarten and for example the hospital so there could be so it was something that is going in the direction all of the particular ammunition there

the russians say that your country your government is a hotbed of fascists a neo nazis which is obviously not true i know the far right have not thank you. so they don't they don't do well electorally but here's the problem outside of elections they do have a presence in ukraine and even in poll a moment you have a speaker of parliament and reprove b. who was the co-founder of a neo nazi party swoboda formally known as the social national party of ukraine which was founded on the basis that quote we are the last hope of the white race pretty embarrassing to some of our the speaker of your parliament. i think you are running this on the false information first of all because he has nothing to do with anything of the neo nazis old right did you know. the social no no you would have based on the national should have been part of civil war that's one thing and the other one he has been part of it which has nothing to do with

this but that's one thing and another thing is that ukrainians as opposed to many of the european countries right now do. not have all to rights in the parliament for example i would be worried about all this ultra rights getting to the parliaments in germany to the to the parliaments in italy to the parliaments in other countries of europe speak up out of b. is absolutely. centrist it's certainly did well documented fact in ukraine and beyond as you know he was and is of the social national which is a far right. is you can you can judge by his does whatever he is doing and he has nothing to do with ultra right parties that's one people and other never look it up for themselves it's not just a speaker of your paula but no it's to get your government interior minister your company colleague also know of a cult who has close ties to the isle of battalion which is a neo nazi militia that uses symbols borrowed from the waffen s.s.

he even appointed an avs of commander as police chief of the kiev region which was condemned by the chief rabbi of ukraine i am ok with the police chief in kiev with the police chief in ukraine who are providing for a secure organisation of pride's which we've been having every single year for a couple of years in their role and they are growing in their in their numbers i am ok with them providing are you ok with the arms of but ali and one of the strongest militias. know that the militia of their professional work on. the work of people vice president are you ok with you know that you are talian that does not have anything to do with any political affiliation i think that we are making sure that people who have been. accused of and who have been actually doing have been seen as doing something wrong they would be brought to justice and justice are

being given in great uniforms books called the national militia your government has brought in a bunch of militias into the military security services you know that i think it's going to. quite a few of our international observers were so dissatisfied and so concerned with the fact that ukrainians first were fighting the war against russian federation with the with the help of volunteer battalions and now and then there was a request and there was a clear willingness also from the ukrainian side to ensure that those volunteer battalions would become parts of the. whoever wants to continue serving would become parts of the armed forces all the police and and therefore whoever was. serving well and whoever wanted to even if they're from you know he groups. they i'm not talking about as of battalion level seven times the death of battalion why would all of us here do you know i'm sitting here. to be

a white supremacist near nazi group because their members where swastikas they found the talks about the white supremacy and white pride do you consider the hours of battalion to be near nazi group in every single in every single country you would have different people at all i don't know if they were also about the could be all you will have some of those sort of the i thought that was one of the ukraine's biggest wish any to be in nearly all of this state you can on flash it has nothing to do with anybody else of the time it is linked to the state so there is a little danger here is you know there is no linkage of the of the as of but talent to the state no no should we even need you to disown them do you consider them to be a neo nazi group. i do not think that they are neo nazi group but they do and they are not connected to this state and that's why the red line is and when amnesty international says the ukrainian state is rapidly losing its monopoly on violence

pointed to all these militias that now control the streets in agreement with your interior ministry that doesn't worry you you want to be a liberal democracy join the e.u. and you have these militias basically attacking l g b t protests attacking gatherings of roma supporters. you know the one the government that is speaking out with great concern and. and less necessity to react by law enforcement whenever such cases a happening and i think it would be wrong to just close the eyes if something of that type is happening but again you have to understand that quite a few cases that are being portrayed or being reported initially as some intolerant cases of attacks then it turns out later on that it turns out that quite a few of them do have the russian russian. trace in it where you to show russia when human rights watch talks about brutal attacks on roma people people

when i am a she says the same thing when freedom house or the senate is not all russian conspiracy no but partially it is that's one thing and the other yes yes there are there are there are cases where russia is working unfortunately very actively also inside ukraine that's one thing and another thing is that whenever these cases are happening we are reacting fiercely against them and the law enforcement is taking care of that bad marriage education about that and where you know i would also want to see more. professional approach back home but i think when you are rebuilding the whole institution sometimes it takes time to rebuild them and it takes time for them to to react properly so yes we do have separate cases and i was very concerned for example with what has happened with roma people definitely you know i'm one of those that is speaking out at the governmental level at the national level in order to ensure.
