the executive director of human rights watch kenneth roth detects a pattern he writes could terrorists should show that he can fulfill the full scope of his responsibilities as un secretary general he's excessively quark diplomacy is selling short his position and the promise of the united nations the secretary general has only once publicly spoken about the we get issue this year and that was to decline to answer a question i know that there is a dialogue between the office of their commission human rights and the people's republic of china in that regard i am not in a position to give any details at the present moment probably fate would be talking about it i would make it more difficult for him to succeed china has considerable clout at the un as one of the five permanent members of the un security council is that why the secretary general is pulling his punches the secretary general has been anything but quiet on his defense of human rights globally i would refer you

moisture from the south china sea so you start to see them develop in a fairly typical area moment and then drifts really east was off was east and size this is the picture we're trying to get to sunday rain right up to the yanks you got to was sichuan doos twenty three could be a went to in hong kong though probably dry will still feel humid it twenty eight degrees quite woman humid all this time in vietnam if you've been watching this enough moshe to give you some daily showers that that is the story of this part of southeast asia increasingly though it's been hot and dry recently in myanmar no less hot all the more humid with the potential for daily shots really from bangkok northeast was the these coast and all the way east has towards the southern philippines there's a mass of white here white shatov throughout malaysia and indonesia no particular concentration other think of the general trend is to take everything normal so if you've been dry recently example in bangkok you'd expect it's more likely to be wet as it is in singapore. whether sponsored by catalona.

a civilian government. the u.n. is warning mozambique is in danger of widespread flooding as it gets hammered by a second cycle in just under two months cycling can a packed category four winds but is now we can. pass sunday's legislative election in. have no opposition politicians on the ballot the election commission says parties of close to the government were unable to meet new requirements i'm up watching reports on the commercial capital cultural. campaigning for these elections has been everything but business as usual there are two parties able to field candidates for eighty three national assembly positions and they're both pro government. according to the electoral commission none of the opposition parties met the requirements of a new actual code and charter of political parties one view from the eligible

republican block party is that the opposition party simply couldn't get organized in time to meet the requirements. it's also about taxes most of the national assembly members who cannot take part in this election campaign in government over the last ten years and have properties and business interests and companies and now they can't meet that tax bills so they're not eligible for us in the republican party we are not only proud to be taking part in this election we're also doing our best to defend the constitution. well that's not the view from the other side opposition politicians believe the eligibility ruling is a deliberate move to fill the national assembly with candidates that will comply with the president's agenda to force to do so. it's a legislative coup and for us in opposition it is not acceptable we cannot endorse what's happening whichever way you look at this is an unprecedented situation so much so the response of religious leaders traditional regional chiefs the west

african bloc. and non-governmental organizations and also the president to intervene however the president says the polls on sunday should go ahead the assembly failed to reach an agreement on a constitutional way forward following the announcement in march that the opposition parties were ineligible according to a prominent civil society activist what's happening takes the country back decades so. it's unfortunate it's sad and it's a step back for a democratic tradition and been in and it's contrary to article three of our constitution since multi-party democracy the people of britain have had the right to vote with legitimate option and this is a part of their sovereignty and now millions have been in years will be denied that right. as the country prepares to vote many are wondering what will happen next as they find themselves in unfamiliar territory i'm a forcing al-jazeera. spain will vote for its third parliament in less

than five years on sunday no single party is expected to secure a majority but many are expecting gains from the far right vox party john a whole reports from several. bursting on to the political scene vox and its leader santiago of our skull are spain's answer to a surge in far right populism elsewhere in europe often seen as mainstream media shy the party prefers to communicate with its supporters in person and online the major themes immigration and nationalism. who is santiago of us go asks this whatsapp campaign video his grandmother explains that as a child in his native bilbao the proudly spanish of a skull was bullied by basque separatists on the playground today it is separatism in catalonia that box and of a skull stand against the party's most passionate battle call is for the unity of

spain vox is clearly using very very true spanish feeling i think you meant in prison spent invokes years this feeling this n t independence discourse in in spain to gain votes and do it all very successfully that one frequent vox promises to make spain great again if you think you recognize it this might be why steve brown and donald trump's former chief strategist is a strong supporter seen here with a prominent vox official. there's also a familiar ring to the party's nostalgic appeal to the traditions of the past among its policies for instance is restoring bullfighting to what it says is its rightful place as a grand spanish institution vox bears the hallmarks of fire and populism those are labels your party rejects so how do you see vox how does vox see itself. to help out the. votes as a party of common sense many say we're

a necessary party for one main reason because we're the only party that openly confronts cattle and separatism the only party that opposes the divisions created by regional autonomy and the only party that confronts the ideology of the left. it was only last december that fox emerged from political obscurity winning a surprise twelve seats in the regional parliament and the affair here in seville and becoming kingmaker in a three way coalition of the political right in regional government while many people wonder whether fox can do it again only this time at a national level. spain everything for spain comes the cry from the podium. the was. jonah how al-jazeera seville. are thousands of trade union members have rallied outside the european union headquarters in brussels demanding better working conditions demonstrators from across europe say

the current e.u. rules what gives too much power to businesses and employers and not enough to ordinary workers the protests comes a month before european parliament elections in which the delay in the u.k. is exit from the block is being hotly debated lawlessly has that story. of european elections a close battle lines are being drawn on friday the centrist liberal democrats launched their campaign inviting voters squarely to reject bracks it's against them the new bracks it party which demands leaving the e.u. as soon as possible whichever side gets the biggest share of the votes will claim it has a mandate to force the british government to back its position but the two million british citizens living on the continent very many like this group in portugal want to vote to stay in the e.u. but now it appears the option may not be open to them many have received identical letters from local authorities like this one advising that ballot papers won't even

get sent out before may the tenth at the earliest people may not be able to return the ballots in time due to the very short notice that we've been given to arrange these elections it will not be possible with the timetable and the roll lions on our printers to provide supplies for the postal packs for them to be mailed earlier than this date. i think given the enormity of this all this won't change. the potential of how people receive citizens at sea or in the chain tool accents and if we are not. it's devastating assuming the majority of british ex-pats supported you membership not being able to vote in time would hurt the parties that don't want press is the reason why this matters is because in the u.k. the european elections are being seen effectively as a sort of mini second referendum on whether the country should leave the european

union pitting nigel farage is progress to party against the gaggle of others including the liberal democrats who want to stop bricks it's at all costs and the polling is sufficiently tights that the inability of british citizens on the continent of folks could make a major difference yes i am very very worried about this it's very clear that u.k. citizens in the e.u. want to take part in this election many of them were not allowed to take part in the referendum three years ago this is their opportunity to have their say on whether they think that we should stop bricks that something that would dems want to achieve if they're going to miss out simply because it takes too long to issue the ballot papers or the postal system in their in their respective countries in the e.u. doesn't work very effectively or because they can't secure a proxy here in the united kingdom that could skew the results the pro remain part is already accused of being slow off the blocks in preparing their pitches for the elections are to remain as may already have made their minds up who they want to
