4:01 pm
a couple of 100 protesters near the office at the election supervisory body mind and mad crowd has slowly started to swell on but it's been largely class protesters have not tried to reach the police about the can see behind me a barricade made up of race is that why are preventing access to this road where protesters have mainly been chanting down with your party the only thing listening to speeches given by them hundreds now are probably ran against president jacoby in the presidential election has urged to supporters to come out to the streets in a show of. these protests are expected to continue until at least friday which is when problems part are expected to be falling on the plate with the constitutional court to dispute the election results on the bulls and not just that that is going on right spread to take regularities during the polls. and that's
4:02 pm
a protest sign it's worth noting though that. 2 political parties that are part of the both coalition was actually come out to say that they accept the election outcome and i'm going to veto one of those parties and even congratulated president obama on his victory was some analysts are also going to doubt that the fact that reston djoko we won by 11 percentage points which roughly translates to 17 in the yards really in a way undermines the opposition's claim that there has been widespread electoral fraud and most most recently on monday the election supervisor a body dismissed claims of systematic cheating citing a lack of evidence the feeling is an intonation politic specialist australian national university he says the violence is unnecessary because most people in indonesia except the election result. clearly the government was fearful that this could turn violent and that's why they're being taking a great range of measures among other things that mobilized some 30000 personnel.
4:03 pm
and indeed you have to say there were probably more security personnel than there were protesters but all leval and so it happened very light last night and early into the smalling in fact seems to being undertaken by just a free part of the main crowd turning out to protest the decision but nonetheless this is a protest that doesn't appear to have much public support at all and certainly the great majority of the political players the party and leading political figures in indonesia exit election commission revolt results and so this looks very much like people's lives are being taken in bahrain and we've seen muslim leaders from more moderate organizations appealing for calm urging their supporters not to take to the streets and i think most people heeded that. this was a protest in the thousands not in the 10s of thousands or hundreds of thousands
4:04 pm
which we sometimes see on jakarta streets so it's relatively small but it's been the most bolland demonstration we're seen since light 2006. the acting u.s. defense secretary is downplaying the possibility of a u.s. war with iran shanahan says the deployment of additional forces to the gulf will limit tehran's ability to attack and made the comments after briefing congress mike hanna reports from washington. congress has been demanding more information for weeks and finally it was provided by members of the trumpet ministration secretary of state mike pump aoe in the acting secretary of defense patrick shanahan held separate reefing sessions from both the house and the senate. patrick shanahan arguing that the recent deployment to carry a strike force to the region has played a role in controlling the crisis we have deterred attacks based on our repository of assets to turn attacks against american forces. our biggest focus at this
4:05 pm
point is to prevent iranian miscalculation. we do not want the situation to escalate. this is about deterrence not about war. or not about going to war we're ready to respond if we have to the best thing to happen is for everybody to calm down and iran to back off and i'm hoping that this show of force will result in deescalating not escalating nobody is talking about a military solution to the current friction with the iranians i haven't heard anybody discuss that are you thank you all very much but the briefing still did not convince skeptical democrats make no mistake this president has a bit strange itching for a confrontation with iran i believe that a war with iran would be. and absolute disaster the
4:06 pm
fall was on the wall with iraq and i hope the american people told this administration but we will not go to war in iran underlying this crisis a decision by president donald trump to unilaterally pull out of the 2050 nuclear deal with iran and as the briefings were taking place iran was announcing it had quadrupled its production of enriched uranium this argue many democrats a consequence of a president rejecting a negotiated deal with no thought as to what should replace it my kind of al-jazeera washington plan carl is a former cia officer he says the calls for deescalating tensions must be echoed by president donald trump the acting defense secretary is a rare reasonable official in the administration of the logs and incompetence so i think that is probably true that tensions are
4:07 pm
a little lower and that the problem is that you have to the extent you have a coherent series of tactics i will call you in the strategy they are those on the neo conservatives which gave us the invasion of iraq and it is easy to threaten and to break things for the united states but it's always infinitely infinitely harder to build them or achieve another more positive end and the approach almost always forgets that in any conflict even if one side like united states is vastly more powerful than the other the other side gets to play in the game too and we can't no one can control events but i think that the defense secretary's statement is a positive one in a rather absurd situation. britain's opposition labor party says the prime minister should not bother putting her new projects a plan to a 4th vote in parliament theresa may is offering him peace
4:08 pm
a chance to vote on whether to hold a 2nd exit referendums she set out her latest plan for britain's departure from the e.u. telling politicians they have one last chance to deliver bracks it. rejected our plan 3 times i've also listened carefully to those who've been arguing for a 2nd referendum i've made my own view on this clear on many many times i do not believe this is a route that we should take because i think we should be implementing the result of the 1st referendum not asking the british people to vote in a 2nd one but i recognise the genuine and sincere strength of feeling across the house on this important issue the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill at introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be ratified. has more from london. by her own admission this is three's m a's
4:09 pm
one last chance so she put it in a speech to try to deliver some sort of breck's it's to try to deliver herself a legacy frankly but what she wants is a brick set that can appeal to as many people in this deeply divided parliament and deeply divided country as she can and so to that end she's obviously listen to all the different very loud voices across parliament who want entirely different things from bracks it's and tried to bring them all together and say ok let's see if we can have a withdrawal bill that we can pass that brings all of these things in at once and so she's trying to appease the hardliners in her own party who want to ensure that at some points the u.k. will be free from a customs union with the european union says that will have to be done by december 2020 that the northern irish part of the democratic unionists have been propping her up that there will be a same system nor nolen to the rest of the u.k. so the argument be divorce so all that to appease them but she's trying to appease
4:10 pm
the labor party as well and those other much more moderate parties by saying don't worry we won't have horrible american chicken in the u.k. afterwards will be environmental standards and most crucially of all she said to those m.p.'s on the labor party side if you pass my bill then we will have a confirmation referendum where the public will get to decide if they like it or if they don't presumably the u.k. then doesn't leave the european union it's all too ben p's like it's no they do not speak as much of it is absolutely hated there's no really big new idea in any of it's to try to move the process forward or the bracks there's a saying we've heard all this no thanks very much the labor party side crucially those who won the 2nd referendum are saying well i'm on trees i'm a your saying these things but you're leaving office anyway and your successor could be a hard liner who will rip up the idea of a 2nd referendum completely so as an idea a week or 2 before this voted or a lot. it's pretty much dead in the water still had on al-jazeera. what you want to
