and say one of their observation post was deliberately targeted in the rebel held province of idlib it's been bombarded for weeks by syrian government forces by russian airstrikes killing at least 300 people and the other developments russian media says that the kremlin and turkey have brokered a cease fire in libya seem concerned who has more now from turkish capital and cur . the russian media reported that there is a ceasefire brokered between turkey and russia over it their public or the turkish authorities haven't confirmed or declined this a legit ceasefire but according to the defense ministry statement we now understand that the turkish military post was deliberately targeted by the syrian regime forces last night after the russian media reported that there was a cease fire deal so it is the most cruel and uncle are said to be. are sad to be trying to launch an initiative that could that could result in

a cease fire however the turkish side say is that all those initiatives are not under way because the syrian regime always violates the agreed terms between moscow and russia so this is a problem for turkey and the authorities say they have the right for a retaliation but there is no official statement that says that turkey will retaliate right now the defense ministry has taken the necessary in this deal with the russian side they're following up closely but when you speak to the. officials in uncle did they tell you that the syrian regime deliberately targets the the military is the militarization zone and at length especially after the united states has announced that arsenal has been finished inside syria is probably more ahead on news hour including to the ground we're live in mali where more into the attacks we reported. a legend of asian sport and says 19 year

permission for more protests on monday claudia mo is a pro democracy member of the legislative council wednesday's fighting reminds her of what happened in tiananmen square in beijing 30 years ago now yesterday's meeting haps we can sell it because she told the propane king stooges wouldn't dare to enter this building because that they have protesting crowds outside so to see how the city has played so polarized we hope the hong kong people will keep on the fight we can take things just lying down the chinese government responded to the violence. it was an organized riot any moves to undermine hong kong's development will be opposed by the majority of hong kong people any civilised society would not allow the sanctity which is violating goals and 7 will social stability we will not allow that to happen protest organizers are furious over what

they say was police brutality intensifying their demand that the chief executive carry land resign and others see the violence as a reason to call on foreign companies to suspend business in hong kong. we believe that all hong kong is and people worldwide witnessing this at the government's response to the protest. police took photos of many people who appeared to be protesters and some were searched the protesters say they'll keep up their efforts and the government says it will push forward with the proposed extradition law with a march and protest planned in the coming days the calm scenes on these hong kong streets could be short lived scott hi there al jazeera own cause. to the u.k. where boris johnson has come out ahead of his rivals in the 1st round of voting to elect a new conservative party leader conservative m.p.'s gathered in london on thursday to begin the process of deciding who will replace the prime minister to resign main contenders have been setting out their agendas and that includes how to keep the party from falling apart and how to deliver on breaks well let's cross over to

a sponsor and get the latest from lawrence lee and lawrence boris johnson just miles ahead in this 1st definite. yeah he's much further ahead than anybody and anticipate almost 3 times as many votes among m.p.'s as jeremy hunt the foreign secretary who is in 2nd and i think one of the things nick next to consider as these rounds of voting go on and people get eliminated is who those eliminated candidates give their vote to and certainly 2 out of the 3 who got eliminated today are also hard practices like johnson. and people like them people like dominic rob who's present themselves even more muscular abraxas or even than boris johnson and they their thought will be well if we give our votes to johnson on the grounds that he's going to win then we might get these in job in government ourselves at the end of it and i think i think frankly speaking to the point that you made in your introduction the psychology among conservative m.p.'s seems to be to ignore all the very well documented

problems about boris johnson's personality his apparent predilection for lying and the suits ability to be prime minister because the m.p.'s consideration seems to be primarily that johnson could avert the threat of nigel farage has bracks it party and that potentially johnson is the only one who could actually beat jeremy cauldrons labor party in a national election and so that ends there preoccupation it broke a bit because i don't piece seems to be so hold on to their own constituency seats and ignore the apparent floors and gaps in boris johnson's arguments assume what sort of bricks he might end up trying to deliver so well this leads one to wonder how johnson is viewed in europe. well you know he said he wants to renegotiate said he would leave with no deal if that didn't happen but he again ignores the fact that there is no time for renegotiation and the the lines of the european as set out sort out the irish border which which can't be sorted out

guarantee the rights of european citizens in the u.k. and that the u.k. has to pay about $50000000000.00 as a fee for leaving there's no suggestion that johnson knows how to do any of those things and he said he would waive the fee so on that basis alone it's a nonstarter in sums of any sort of renegotiation and on top of that johnson frankly is pretty much loads in brussels they know him because he used to be a journalist there for the daily telegraph newspaper and was known to make up stories about bad things the european union was doing and so for all those reasons i think they are really in mood to even countenance attempts at a renegotiation with him and it leads i think to the conclusion that unless jeremy cole been comes off the fence very quickly and comes out in favor of. either a 2nd referendum or trying to not leave and force parliament in a situation where it can't leave or something like that happens then johnson could

easily actually lead the u.k. outs of the european union willingly at the end of october it seems to me to be that's the trajectory now all right lawrence thanks very much that's a picture from westminster lawrence leigh employees in albania are debating a no confidence motion in president earlier matter the motion was proposed by prime minister. after the president cancelled this month's local elections opposition groups have held months of weekly protests against the queues him and other socialist party politicians of colluding with organized crime groups that's been out to jonesboro police who joins us live from the albanian capital of toronto and john tell us more about what's been discussed today. well as you know a week ago the country's president called on local elections to be cancelled in the country saying it is his competence exclusively to set the date for any sort of election in the country today the prime minister brought down to the legislature

behind me here a 3 page resolution saying that the president acted unconstitutionally that he has attempted to cancel the election and he calls upon the president to return to constitutional order and his normal duties and not to engage in further unconstitutional action basically prime minister eddie rahman has been accusing the president of playing party politics and taking sides because cancelling this june 30th local election is something that the opposition democratic party has been calling for and the socialist prime minister sees the president's actions as partisan the reaction to any rumors defiance has come just in the past hour from the leader of the democratic party who told me when i asked him what are you now prepared to do other than abstain from those june 30th local elections that you've already said you're going to do given that the prime minister will still go ahead with them he says i have jury in this press conference called upon our citizens to

ready ourselves to do what have a european citizens are forced to do when they are faced with the prospect of an effective coup deter i have full confidence that the power of unity will prevail over the power games of mr rahman and a handful of criminals that is a completely cryptic remark we don't know if this to show the leader of the democratic party is going to call upon his followers merely to boycott the election or to actively resist it was a take to the streets and try and prevent other people from reaching roughly $5000.00 ballot boxes that will be spread around the country on the last day of this month to elect $61.00 may is for which only the socialist party has produced candidates by the way it's going to be an interesting contest but everyone is conceiving it differently the opposition sees it as illegitimate and unconstitutional the government sees it as business as usual. so how do we assess

where all this is heading well we can't really it's very very difficult because there is for example no constitutional court in order to adjudicate this completely . different these 2 completely different interpretations of the constitution that 15 member court now only has one judge sitting on it the rest of them have been removed during an ethical review process that started about 18 months ago during which judges of being investigated for this sources of wealth many of those judges have been disqualified because they don't clear the bug they simply they simply don't qualify through this evaluation process and the country is without a high court and without a constitutional court so there are no balances of power here it is only the word of the prime minister of this is the words of the president and the words of the opposition leader it is pure politics and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly

polarized argument even that john psaropoulos reporting from toronto. where the prime minister has declared 3 days of national mourning for the victims of sunday's attack on a village dozens of people from the dawn ethnic group were killed finance between in the medics. and the dogon pharmacist killed hundreds of people in recent months or more attacks have been reported now in the region and pathak reports from the capital bamako. barely visible mali and soldiers helicopters from the un peacekeeping force hovering over. days after sunday's deadly attack in security forces are finally on the ground protecting what appears to be an empty ghost town and. we are angry and disappointed to alternative need to deploy most soldiers to a secure area. shortly after this interview mollen soldiers meant to protect the

village chief beat him up for criticizing the government i think tensions continue to be high between the doggone hunters and the philosophy herders both the communities are in mourning and see the for revenge on wednesday fall on the villagers were attacked a short while later villages were stormed and response president brought him back r k to removed the governor of the president's call for national unity have largely been ignored well both communities may be in disagreement accusing the other 4 of these attacks and killings they are in agreement over the lack of response of the 1000000 forces in the un peacekeeping force that are meant to protect them. as part of the un mission known as there are 14000 peacekeepers 4000 french soldiers and almost 20000000000 forces known as farmers. several battalions were just a few kilometers away when sunday's attack on the doggone village took place. never

came to have. gone chief he says despite numerous calls for help no one came to protect the villagers being attacked. there is no protection. by the minister. and nothing by. its very deplorable but that's an issue creation and so it is left to these villagers to make arrangements for their own security whether full on your job on their arming themselves and taking justice in their own hands as the un in the mali enforces watch from a safe distance. nicholas hawk al jazeera. let's go live to bamako now malcolm webb is standing by and what's the latest on the ground law. well as we saw an exterior on wednesday there were more attacks on villages inhabited by people

from both the doe gone ethnic group and the full army ethnic group meanwhile there's a dispute about the numbers of how many people were killed in sunday's massacre the 1st people on the scene were local officials they say they counted 95 of the remains of 95 bodies many of them burned inside their homes but it was a couple of days later by the time people from the central government got there and central government is now saying only 35 people were killed so there's a dispute there but we've spoken to local officials who say that they're the ones that saw all of the remains of the bodies in the u.n. also went with that number of 95 killed as well the governor of the mopti region was on wednesday fired by mali's council of ministers they blamed him for failing to protect these people although a lot of people asking that very same question of the central government itself for failing to protect these people and one of the reasons that this intercommunal

conflict has been escalating within central mali in recent months is a lack of the presence of the state in terms of security but also in terms of public services interest deduction and you know having any kind of presence at all ok in recent months but in fact this conflict is nothing you know give us some idea of the origins of it. for generations there have been conflicts between the fulani herders who migrate around the region seeking pastures for their livestock moving around to follow the rains and the farmers who who inhabit that area in central mali livestock trampling on crops could lead to conflicts or use of precious farmland when especially at times like this it's the end of the dry season water becomes a precious resource in the past often these conflicts were resolved with meetings

between community leaders and if there was violence would be relatively low level of violence but things have changed in recent years conflicts in northern mali with armed separatist groups some of them linked to al-qaeda unease logic state they've brought a prevalence of weapons from the region that originates from libya's civil war which started in 2011 so prevalence of weapons a breakdown of the rule of law and also growing banditry coming from the north and from the central government here in bamako it's come under a lot of criticism firstly for hiring militia to try and fight the insurgents in the separatists instead of using its own armed forces and also for a lack of any presence it's all no policing no public education health care or a serious lack of which is led to people taking matters into their own hands so what a few years ago was a separatist movement originating in the north has now erupted into into communal violence in in central mali itself or american banks for much of the reporting

there from bamako all right on to the weather now and india has some good news despite cycle involved yes all things being relative but the good news is about the change of heart because up until now i mean they've been preparing very well for potential landfall on the coast of drought this thing's been a phenomenally strong club and those who are lucky can even take big birds off the water. the way is out at sea being pretty huge of course is not understand it in the land who droughts quite a low lying state anyway and when the last hit about 20 years ago it really was hit hard so this is not a good prospect for there's the cloud as it is at the moment the circulation circulating site and does not show really much of an i suggest bigger it is actually gusting to 160 kilometers or so with a storm surge with it and drawn into wars the coast of about 1.3 meters above high tide now that is to be expected what wasn't expected is the turn in direction at

night it's going to turn more as directly west was staying in open water not making landfall so it's going to be the peripheral effects that hit the coast of gujarat in particular for example those waves are 9 meters out at sea say nothing to stop them coming on land the sea states described as phenomenal no one is out fishing or doing anything else but the rainfall well something like $200.00 millimeters that's a forecast down on recent days there's a circulation as it stands at the moment it does cover gujarat could head toward or affect the coast of pakistan but slowly or the next 2 or 3 days it will decline and of course go away nick all right thanks very much still ahead here around 0 the warning to syrian refugees in lebanon dismantle no mention of homes or risk having them destroyed. criticizing the kremlin will care about the opposition politician among hundreds of protesters arrested in moscow. and it's more brazil hope that football can take to the pitch for the 1st time at this year's world cup in france
