12:14 am
a culture over impunity has made it difficult to heal. divisions. serious problem is that the government has committed itself before the united nations however all the commitments made before the united nations especially after the report of the high commissioner for human rights in 2015 have seen little results in the country only with the office of missing persons many issues remain unresolved people are still longing for justice but this again to a new and very usual chapter namely the culture of impunity rather than the culture of accountability in light of also the. east that takes renewed rejuvenated a emergency regulations are impeding a dialogue between the communities there are actually being an obstacle for the transitional justice between the communities and they actually. hinder any kind of
12:15 am
solution where people in the country are seen as equal citizens in an equal country i acknowledge that the sri lankan government has moved forward with a transitional justice again to those in 15 but when we go back to the pre arrow to those in 15 we will see again a retreat from an engagement international human rights and went. on the international scene and that will be very boring. though because the momentum is lost in my eyes and the international community must renew its engagement with the sri lankan government and with all political activists and civil society actors on the ground. still ahead on al-jazeera rallying for the right wing the latest reaction if it's too late for next week's european elections. and a controversial last laugh this woman and cheers before she comes locks on the policy and joel has more coming up later in sports.

12:17 am
do expect to see a problem in terms of rain for the northern part of oman now in the afternoon we could be seen those thunderstorms brew up so in the water as we could be seeing some localized flooding there on monday muscat at $32.00 but down towards the south along the coast into yemen we are going to see some very heavy rains as well and over towards madagascar the rain could be a problem here across the southern part of madagascar not too much for the northern part with the temperature across the area seeing into the middle twenty's and over here towards durban attempt a few of the 30 degrees there. russia has jeopardized the united states' security interests we know what you are doing and you will not succeed perceptions from the outside looking. good what's the picture from the inside. stars think russia's foreign policy is too soft to you most russian goals have been achieved not peace and. russia all knowledge is

you're watching al-jazeera quick reminder of the top stories for you a strangely is really in conservative coalition has won the country's general election in a major upset prime minister scott morrison has described the victory as a miracle the opposition leader has resigned after conceding defeat. austria's far right step p.c. the terror has resigned over a secret video recording christians toher was filmed offering government contracts to an unknown russian women in exchange for political supports. and tamils in sri lanka have been marking 10 years since the end of the 25 year long civil war tamil tiger rebels were fighting against government forces to creates their own independent homelands both sides were accused of war crimes. well let's say return to our top story the a street elections michael dobbs is
12:20 am
a former political correspondent for the australian broadcasting corporation in australia and joins us now live from london thanks very much for talking to us here on al-jazeera. all the opinion polls are pointing to a labor went where did it go wrong why did the forces turn their backs on them. well there is some suggestion that the labor party manifesto to speak was too detailed and they gave a lot of clues about what they do which involved being tough on what they called instead of the begin of town tough on the capitalists and tough on the richer people and that seems to have scared quite a few people you've also got to take into account that people also take polling results into account quite often in many countries when they vote and so the polls said a big labor win to bill shorten who's now actually leaving his job as leader of the
12:21 am
labor party and they were nervous about that and seems enough of them were nervous and perhaps some were not telling the pollsters exactly the way they really were going to vote and as a result we've got a surprise which scott morrison the prime minister is describing as a miracle and what would you say this result says about the current state of the straightly in politics is the right wing here to stay to the strains not care about this climate change agenda that was presented by the labor party. i think that would be a false interpretation on climate change a lot of australians are very concerned about climate change and a lot of smaller parties and independents have done well by campaigning on the importance of cutting down on. polluting energies like coal and things like that so i don't think it's quite as simple as that and in fact
12:22 am
interestingly in one very interesting seat of worrying which is in one of the more affluent parts of sydney the situation is. is that former prime minister tony abbott has lost his seat and that was partly because the people concerned about climate change thought he wasn't taking the issue seriously enough so overall it shows quite a division in a straight in thinking on on climate change and on quite a lot of other issues as well including immigration which was also a big one that was so it's in for the final tally the final results to come and still no sight of an outright majority would you say the results so far constitutes a resigned indorsements of the conservative liberal party or what would you say the result for all. i don't think they show resoundingly anything i think. as a wind has got morris that it's a narrow win and at this stage well counting until news we don't know whether he
12:23 am
will actually be able to have a majority between him and his coalition partner and whether they'll either go for a minority government which suggests more instability in the future or be able to get some of the independent voters or minor parties on board to support them in what could be an unstable and very slim majority government so the future is uncertain however the counting ends up from here ok we'll have to leave it there for thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and analysis michael dunn there speaking to us live from london. not talking with you. before right politicians are across europe have gathered for a rally in italy to try to boost their chances and heads of e.u. parliamentary elections next week the events in milan was organized by its these deputy prime minister material salvini he says their new alliances sets again a powerful voice and european affairs well solve it is joined spiny the french far
12:24 am
right leader man in the pain as well as nationalist movements from 12 other countries notably absence whoever is hungary's prime minister viktor orban supports salvini but refuses to form an alliance with le pen so he needs trying to show unity among euro skeptic groups before the e.u. starts on may 23rd there are forces back him he hopes to build the 3rd largest group in the european parliament salvini one of those in italy's parliament last november to curtail the rights and protections of asylum seekers as well as his anti immigration measures salvini is also known for his and see islam rhetoric well let's explore this more detail with stefano jean a is a journalist and the co-author of the black book of the league joining us now via skype from milan thank you so much effort talking to us stephanie virginny. from your point of view just how big
12:25 am
a challenge does this far right alliance pulls in the european elections. well i mean you just finish to those distances beechen in the drama square which is the most iconic square in milan and you know it's been raining for the whole day where her thousands of people have been. listening to celine so when you were expecting around i'm going to 1000 people it's hard to say how many ear but the squares on school and as you were saying before there were 11 represents new european parties that show up today which is i think something important for so many among these there were the bands french national rarely leave their germany have to be there and the dutch party of freedom leave there are good builders. let's say that. what what was all the political issues were saying were pretty
12:26 am
similar in the sense that they were all against the so-called europe of the elites . they were mainstream equal lie you care. george soros. and these people are deemed to be from form from from the far right parties the elites of europe they they say they want to change europe many of the politicians were paying tribute to selenium so was able according to them to stop the flow of migrants and this is something very important according to all the people that i've been talking to they have and we're seeing from the pictures that we're showing a large number of supporters turning out to hear these leases but just how united's affronts are they we know that donald trump's father of right hand man steve benen had big plans to bring together these far right hands the establishment
12:27 am
lead to this but already victor are bound refusing to share a platform with my in the pen is that it's a is the glue that binds them or not that strong. well it's interesting because. when it comes to opposing the 2 nationalist parties that we've seen today at the same view they all want to ready to lead change europe as it is today they are all against the flow my friends they say they're against bankers and the elites but when it comes to propose how did changes the differences among comes out and for example late last year was criticized by its german ally a.f.d. tories expansionary 2019 budget law which basically boosted well for spending and cut the retirement age. so the 2 parties are alliance of these moments
12:28 am
but when it comes to defining solutions there are there are very very different especially on an economic basis ok thank you very much for your analysis there stephanie joining us live from milan. now the former u.s. vice president joe biden is launching his campaign for the white house today with a call for fairness and equality in america he'll be holding the opening in philadelphia pennsylvania his campaign headquarters and a key states won by president on trial 2016 biden's 3rd run for the top job but this time right he's leading in the polls by then and he says candidly last month and certainly already crowded field of former vice presidents as one of 23 contenders seeking to challenge trump for the presidency and that list continues to grow york city mayor bill de blasio is the latest addition no biden is seen as the
12:29 am
front runner will suggest 40 percent so of the democratic electorate back him not spoil a double with support for senator bernie sanders the debates begin in june democratic primaries won't start until february the general election of course for november 3rd 2020 will gabriel elizondo joins us now live from washington d.c. ag a very creative fields but is it likely to be 3rd time lucky for biden for his chances of securing that nomination and eventually beating trump. well listen getting the nomination is looking pretty good we're still a long ways this is a big long process that's going to last 2 months before we get to the general election and as you mentioned 23 democrats all vying to face donald trump in the general election but so far the early signs are without a doubt that joe biden is the front runner doing very well in the polls and the
12:30 am
fact that he's making his 1st big campaign rally in the state of pennsylvania is very important because he's from pennsylvania very well liked there by many people and pennsylvania might be the state that determines who will be the next president ited states let's remember that. the last election 2016 donald trump beat hillary clinton in the state of pennsylvania by less than one percent and that 20 electoral votes from pennsylvania likely are what made donald trump the president of the united states and now the polls are showing that joe biden is defeating trump in the state of pennsylvania easily so a lot of people are saying this is why he's really the front runner early on here ok problem for say it that's all we have time for but we will be crossing back to you throughout the day let's get the latest on that campaign launch for night gabriel elizondo reporting live from washington d.c. . now former presidents of argentina snake

12:32 am
proposals for middle position will only be considered if they respect venezuela's constitution those who knows a lot of things here and they are asking for all those things because the united states is demanding it and we will sit at a table for talks and also or anywhere else all initiatives are possible with our constitution on the table not with a pistol not with an imperial order but with our constitution on the options that they are proposing are not in the constitution numbers and done the work done and i want to do so do you believe that there is a real credible threat of u.s. military intervention in minnesota or is it a bluff they're also going to like us i've learned no with those hawks in the white house there is no bluff you always have to be careful and be prepared for all scenarios it was president trump who in august 27th teen said that he would consider a military option in venezuela it wasn't bolton or pompei oh it was trump bolton has said it thousands of times pompei o has said it pence's said it that all
12:33 am
options are on the table including the military one we are prepared for all scenarios that it would get the us has reached a deal with canada and mexico to remove its tariffs from steel and aluminum imports the move could put the 3 countries a step closer to russified a good deal that would replace the north american free trade agreements it remits were eliminates u.s. missile tariffs and canada's retaliatory tariffs on u.s. products including pork beef and bourbon in has more from washington. it's been a sticking point in the relationship between the united states canada and mexico the president including those countries on his tariff list for steel and aluminum 25 and 10 percent he's now heralding that those tariffs will be removed there's some context here that it all goes back to renegotiate in the north american free trade agreement the president campaigned on this he said it was the worst deal the united states ever made and basically he renegotiated it now there's not many huge changes but still he needs to be able to tell his base before the election that he
12:34 am
kept his promise it is facing stiff opposition in congress and a very influential senator chuck grassley of the state of iowa had said he would not put that for a vote that he wouldn't get a vote on this new nafta deal until he got rid of the steel and aluminum tariffs so the president's people been pushing on capitol hill they want to see a vote on this new trade agreement and now because those tariffs have been removed they have a better shot than they did before. so it's come on al jazeera iran is giving up the tokyo 2020 paralympics looking to make an impact in seated volleyball chill we'll have all the details for you in sports. in a 2 part series. observes the lives of. over 20 years. in science the circumstances that she
