no less than thirty six candidates to choose from three of them former presidents there are concerns about low turnout with many people saying they weren't able to cast their ballots joins us live now from the capital of ask our social media what do we know about these voting issues. but will help if we look at what one of the leading papers in madagascar. of course is highlighting these issues one that there was a number of irregularities and also of course of both a low voter turnout when we spoke to the electoral commission twenty they had said that of bout forty percent of the people who should have voted turned out at polling stations to do that now one thing we did come across during the day of the election we got a number of people found that they weren't able to find their names on the voters' roll even if they had registered months before so of course these two issues may be

connected in that there is a very low turnout perhaps you know some people not interested in voting in that they've got fifty think candidates to choose from but ultimately this is a race between two or three top candidates but also very many people not being able to participate when we spoke to transparency international they were concerned that up to a third of people in the country perhaps denied the right to vote just because they were not able to find their names on the voters' roll so if that's the case how much confidence do you all have in the process in the counting in the or and the rest of the election process. well these type of circumstances aren't new to very many people in this country that had similar problems in previous elections and because there are just so many people to vote for but essentially just a couple of frontrunners there's concern around just the legitimacy around this election and who might come to power next if we look at

a couple of the frontrunners is remarkable a monarch who was ousted from power back in two thousand and nine following a crew his opponent and he wrote to lead would say that was a popular uprising so they were looking at two people one wanting to reclaim power and the second possibly wanting to legitimize the time that he was in office following that coup as a transitional presidency when transitional president and we do know that there's great rivalry between these two candidates but for people in madagascar it really isn't anything new it's very much the same as it seemed for many previous elections it's about i suppose getting on with just surviving a country that has a very high poverty rate that has issues around unemployment as well as corruption and just looking to one of these two or three men to push the country forward but of course we may be looking at significant a voter apathy and a lack of interest in just what happens next people just getting on with what's

necessary ok for miller live for us thank you them either. aid agencies are calling the crisis in central african republic and of the world's most eclectic conflicts and elected government is now in power however the violence with armed groups continues at this force more than twenty thousand people from their homes this year so far. this report from the refugee camp and caught up on tomorrow was. it just arrived you leave displaced children in this refugee camp the latest victims of the unending sectarian violence in central african republic. some had their homes burned to the ground others were chased from their villages by young men with machetes and guns among them are survivors of unspeakable violence. ten year olds to the his mother is dead her father is gone killed because they were christian by their own muslim neighbors she hid in the bush with her uncle then tried to return to her village but the men kept coming back so she had again.

there's no hiding from the violence we want the arms to go the violence to stop we just want peace this is silliness you home an overcrowded refugee camp of twenty three thousand people surrounded by armed militia groups under siege and unable to leave the camp is that they are held hostage protected by a few overstretched u.n. troops celine wants answers she says she wants to be asking the questions and so we traded places and she took the microphone. will we find peace how can we make the violence stop when will i be able to return home. we put her questions to visiting secretary general of the norwegian refugee council young angle and i hope she will be able to go back soon house but the reality is that you know the big forces of the armed groups and the lack of intention from this national

community is not going to her direction really this situation for these people is really desperate outside of the camp and outside of where this small girl is there are three armed groups and they deny people returning to their homes among the people living in this refugee camp are armed men in hiding not only do they target the humanitarian workers that bring them health they also attacked the people that live in this camp it seems that there is no safe space for people to skate from the violence. was searching for food when she was gang raped at gunpoint by men she suspects are part of a christian armed group in the camp what they won't stop hurting girls here they think we're objects for them to take rape is just part of living here despite the trauma and the violence committed by adults where the christian or muslim children in this refugee camp sure a brief moment of unity in

a country torn and looking for peace nicholas hawk al-jazeera. and he did his conference on wednesday night president ronald trump talk that has a public and hardens gains in the senate from tuesday's midterm elections turnout was unusually high across the country when the night offered good news for both of the main political parties the democrats have claimed two hundred twenty three seats so far and the u.s. house of representatives handing them control there however it was the republicans who picked up seats in the senate are telling now stands at fifty one it could be several weeks before we know the final numbers for both houses of congress are but also reports there was a big day yesterday white house spin zone despite the mid-term loss of the house to the democrats president donald trump declared victory citing republican gains in the senate they did focus on the senate and we had tremendous success with the senate democratic house leader nancy pelosi said the democrats victory was an

opportunity to work together with drum who will strive for bipartisanship we believe that we have a responsibility to seek common ground where we can but we cannot we must stand upon our control of the house gives democrats power to block much of the republican legislative agenda and launch investigations into trump's russian business dealings taxes and other ethical issues dogging several senior officials we as democrats are here to strengthen the institution in which we serve and not to have it be a rubber stamp for president chop. by. many democratic voters believe the house should begin impeachment proceedings against trump but the senate republican leader had a warning for democrats drawn from republicans own experience i remember when we

tried in the late ninety's. we impeach president clinton his numbers one often are going down and we underperform in the national election so the democrats on the house will have to decide just how much presidential harassments they think is good strategy i'm not so sure it will work for them. when it's sworn in early next year the new congress will include more women than any in history among them will be the first female muslim representatives including russia to t.m. who is also the first palestinian american ever elected a black and latino women one including alexandria cortez will be the youngest person in the house and the first ever native american women will take their seats in the senate some races are still too close to call and may be headed for recounts but republican control of that body is a certainty there's not very much common ground between the parties on major issues

like immigration and health care so the forecast for the next two years is lots of talk but little action robert oulds al-jazeera washington owing us issued a safety notice addressing a sensor problem on one of its latest aircraft after one of the company's planes crashed into the java sea one hundred eighty nine people were killed when the lion air flight went down off the coast of indonesia last month safety officials investigating the crash found one of the plane sensors have provided and correct data on safety net as supplies to nearly two hundred fifty aircraft. so it first emerged this week as a very cute viral video you've probably seen this video of this baby bear struggling to climb a snow mountain was jailed on social media about twenty million times it was service and example of you can achieve anything if you don't give up but after a closer look at shows the mother bear pushed the baby down because she fears

a drone is following them less larssen a bear biologist warrants and strong misuse he says regulations on filming need to be stricter the mom is actually really stressed out she's constantly looking at the drone to kind of see where it's at i think the drone operator having his drone and so close forced her to make a decision that normally she would have made with a bit more time she kind of crossed that that steep drift on iraq and typically you know they'll be really careful to pick the route that they're come can make safely and that they can stay with their coven kind of a tighter unit so i think just having that drone right on or really made her make kind of this wraps rash decision that ended up working out for a pub could have been a lot worse had it been steeper as far as my research goes when we are filming bears we try and be as as least invasive as possible so we typically set up cameras that are camouflaged their motion activated by the bears typically don't even notice and that's just so we don't place any stress on the animals as far as those

laws are concerned i do think there needs to be some laws around drone activity with wildlife in particular i just think you know as humans we're already placing a lot of different stressors on animals whether it's you know encroaching into their their areas or hunting or whatever so that adds to that with drones just it's just one more thing that they don't need so so i definitely think some laws could be beneficial. the festival of lights is being celebrated by indians cross the world to all the marks the return of the hindu god ran to the city of. northern india after defeating a powerful team and celebrations include lighting lamps and setting off fireworks as a result almost every year pollution levels rise to dangerous levels and cities like to. take a look at the headlines on al-jazeera president donald trump this virus attorney

for free and the first and largest group of migrants are haitians more than a thousand have signed up for this program are latin american or lucien newman explains why the government is flying them home. these haitian migrants are leaving chile with a bit more than with what they came but with their dreams shattered. what we thought we were coming to do doesn't exist we came here for a better life for decent work but there's nothing there the first one hundred seventy six beneficiaries of a government humanitarian repatriation program for migrants who can't afford to leave they've been given a free flight home in exchange for not returning to chile for at least nine years. since they could not adapt to our reality and their expectations were not mitt they asked the government's help to return home. the vast majority like the us say it's because they can't survive here you're right. my christian chile two years ago when

i came it was easy to find a job but not now another thousand haitians are on the list and an undisclosed number of colombian migrants are also asking for a free flight home it is an unprecedented offer unique in a world where many more migrants are deported against their will but the very fact that this program exists draws attention to the exploitation and abuses that many many migrants in chile face. thousands of haitians live in appalling conditions employers often under pay them others complain of racism you know we asked the interior minister what the government is doing to help migrants stay rather than leave where working to police and control employers and landlords and we've introduced measures to ensure that migrants obtain proper residence documents so very complex and can access public services too late for these migrants who've given up any hope of making chile their home as they return to haiti to an

uncertain future you see in human al-jazeera santiago. so turning out that this breaking news that we're following out of the u.s. whether it's been a shooting at a. nightclub in california i believe in the thousand oaks area are we have one of our correspondents trying to gather more information and he's actually in d.c. but he is doing his level best to get us where information rob reynolds what do you know. well we shall move. on ongoing now according to local media and multiple injuries a bar in a club a country music venue is thousand oaks california. north in the west los angeles it's been through a county california. at the club with your portage dropped by a man wearing black clothing and carrying an automatic weapon there's also been
