8:05 pm
been. better for what they call. the doctor more. but reaction from other governments particularly in the west has been muted when asked about its u.s. state department spokeswoman mall morgan ortega said only that they saw the death was reported the united kingdom has issued no official comment germany too is quiet about morsy staff and there's been no statements from the french even. more rights groups have made morsi stephon years of poor prison conditions priyanka gupta has the details. a death that human rights activists have called tragic but predictable and what former egyptian president mohamed morsy supporters say is a model 17 june $29000.00 morsi appeared in court for a trial on charges of espionage he asked a judge if you could speak to him the session in what is now his final address
8:06 pm

8:07 pm
allowed to have the food and medicine provided by his family that virtually all other prisoners in egypt are able to access last year a panel of british politicians and lawyers said treatment in prison was so bad that it could amount to torture. a predicts that if you didn't get the appropriate medical treatment he may very well have a premature death and of course rise out of. torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction and we found that the responsibility for that would sit all the way up the egyptian chain of. i'm on the higher than what i am that's a lot of air and the man who sits at the top of the chain of command is egypt's current leader preston uphill for the c.c. the former army chief ousted morsi in a military coup in 2013 and since then has locked up thousands of people as political prisoners this is the outcome that the egyptian government kinds wanted
8:08 pm
for years or morsi and also for other brotherhood leaders like mine are going to be on quite a professional they don't want necessarily to execute people because of the fallout that the executions will create but they want to. ban all calls for an international investigation into morsi steffen court was when his life in prison seemed entirely nord by the word. the. results are coming in from the u.k. where the ruling conservative party has been voting in a 2nd round to decide who were replaced by minister theresa may the winner will become party leader and prime minister and face a tough leading britain's withdrawal from the european union candidates must secure at least 33 votes to avoid elimination from the process let's get the results from a volcano is live in london for us so the results are still in who's out. yeah that's right the results came in just a few minutes ago it's now gone from
8:09 pm
a 6 horse race to a 5 horse race we have lost former secretary dominic robb who just remind you is uncompromising when it came to promising that the u.k. would indeed leave the e.u. all october 31st very much the message of the front runner who once again is boris johnson he has increased his margin to 126 from $114.00 in the 1st round of voting that's a margin of 80 votes for the 1st place that he now has of course and the 2nd place which once again is the foreign secretary jeremy hunt with 46 votes from fellow m.p.'s 3rd place is michael gove's the environment secretary would 40 well on the probably the biggest surprises being wrong reece jewett who is the development secretary from the start he was very much for guarded as something of a political outsider he's a very much a moderate he's still much further down the pike but his support has gone up from
8:10 pm
19 to 37 so ahead all for instance the home secretary jahvid he did particularly well in the 1st televised debate on sunday he was seen speaking very clearly as as taking very much a middle ground a compromise position when it came to dealing with the european union going forward just to remind you of course now we've got these results in these 5 will take part in another t.v. debate on british television a little bit later on will their performance during that debate be reflected in the next round of voting later in the week yet the debate everyone is waiting to see what happens stance so after that and what happens in the process next and how long until we find out who the next british prime minister is going to be. well we're down to 5 you know we've got to get down to 2 violates those days so there are multiple rounds of secret ballots that are taking place that of course conservative m.p.'s have a responsibility to vote in when it is down to
8:11 pm
a 2 horse race and it's then opened up to members of the conservative policy these are the subscribers fee payers there are believed to be around 160000 members of the conservative party many of them. demographically around the sort of 50 year olds mog so well know it no way so spring chickens politically they will have a say they'll be able to vote by postal vote and it will be 4 weeks after that that we get an idea of who the final winner will be who will be the next prime minister to succeed to reason may whoever that person is will no doubt oversee have an impact on bragg's it but also on british politics going forward for months and years to come in london thank you sid ahead on al-jazeera. i offer my most sincere apology hong kong's leaders say sorry for proposing extradition changes that set off massive protests but want quakes raw systemic and
8:12 pm
structural failure as a un report turns a spotlight on its own conduct. hello there ticky still catching a few showers and some of them have turned out to be rather heavy you can see the latest ones that we've seen they've also been pushing their way up through azerbaijan and into armenia and gradually into the southern parts of russia as well and it's this region again where we likely to see the majority of the showers as we head through the next few days away from that it's just getting pretty hot now as you'd expect at this time if you say baghdad 40 degrees will be our maximum temperature terror on up at $35.00 and kabul around $31.00 here in doha is even hotter than that and it's also pretty windy and those winds all going to stick
8:13 pm
around as we head through the next couple of days so a temperature of 45 i think for wednesday maybe not quite as hot for thursday but still a halt blustery day for the south a bit more cloud and certainly a lot more humidity will be around the coast of oman so muscat probably no high than around $3435.00 degrees further towards the south this is also a great deal of what weather across the southern parts of africa at the moment we all sing the winds gradually push a few areas of cloud on shore around the coast of mozambique and they could just give us one or 2 showers we could see one or 2 around the coast of madagascar as well but away from that so actually fine and dry a good deal of cloud is likely over the southern parts there as we head through wednesday.
8:14 pm
morning. you're watching al jazeera live from doha a reminder of our top stories egypt's pony democratically elected president mohammed morsi has been buried at a ceremony in cairo a day after he died in court human rights groups say morsi suffered poor treatment in prison the united nations is calling for an independent investigation into his death thousands of people throughout the middle east membrane morsi with funeral
8:15 pm
prayers turkey's president bush a better one attended prayers at a mosque in istanbul where he voiced concern about how morsi died and boris johnson has won the most votes in the u.k. conservative party's contest to replace a prime minister theresa may 4 out of candidates remain with another vote scheduled later this week. more on this now with jonathan left who is d. deputy director of british influence joining us now live from london jonathan very good to have you again on al jazeera so now down to a 5 or 6 race and things still going very well for boys johnson do any of the remaining candidates have what it takes to defeat him you think. is a sure it's also the. membership of the conservative party you just saw 8 between the final 2 is overwhelmingly pro boris johnson because he is seen as a vote when the conservatives want to win the election whether he can win is
8:16 pm
a separate issue it seems or so it's not that boris johnson will win become prime minister what exactly is the appeal of boris johnson among the conservatives and do you think he has what it takes unite the party. well those are 2 separate questions and the 1st one board is what attracts were trying to turris they see a charisma a charm and they have seen that he won the london marathon twice and that he helped to win the brakes referendum. most of them would accept that johnson is not cool an honest or trustworthy politician he breaks his word and has done many times in office and he's changed his position many times so i don't think that they are necessarily expecting someone of the most rigorous integrity but they think that he can bring the country together can he not the party is much less clear because at
8:17 pm
the moment he's trying to appeal to the prices by saying that he will take britain as the e.u. come what may. but on the other side he's telling the remaining is that he can find a new deal to leave so we actually don't have a no deal exit now both of those cannot be true and either leave on the 31st or taper with no deal or you negotiate that deal and you extend the ecology both and on that issue i mean the next prime minister will have this difficult task of leading britain had of the e.u. do you think as a new deal can be renegotiated with the us with a new prime minister at the helm with a with there is no enchants us yet there is that so you know chance of the e.u. is going to give boris johnson what they didn't give theresa may not in the e.u.'s interest to do that the e.u.'s said categorically that the backstop cannot be negotiated again the withdrawal agreement is signed and sealed and it would make no
8:18 pm
sense to effectively sell out of ireland a member of the e.u. in favor of britain departing member of the e.u. and they have no incentive to appease boris johnson because they despise him so what happens then i mean how can the u.s. u.k. leave without a deal. but this is the problem there are no answers the 1st thing boris johnson will have to do is go to the e.u. and ask for an extension because parliament will not let him leave without a deal so already his credibility will be will be shot with a party and then it will either have to change or deal in a way the way satisfy anyone because he can change the political declaration not the actual treaty but the political decoration the non-binding parts but that's not going to help or stones either because you have to make it soft to create a single market for example or you have a referendum or a general election in which the conservatives would likely lose so boris johnson will have
8:19 pm
a very short honeymoon before he sees the reality the situation and his defeat by just recently was jonathan less always good to get your thoughts on this thank you so much for joining us there from london. hundreds of thousands of people have been for some their homes in the democratic republic of congo by fighting between tribal groups nearly 200 people have been killed in the past week in the ne ne tory province the united nations says a mass movement of people is complicating the tracing and treatment of patients at risk of ebola a warning that alexia brian's report contains disturbing images. ringback the killing was indiscriminate babies and young children from the hema ethnic group among the hundreds of victims hacked to death with machetes in the eastern province of the touring and democratic republic of congo the survivors say the attackers were from the tribe renewed fighting between him a casual herders and lendu farmers has forced thousands of people to leave their homes over the past week and move to camps like this.

8:26 pm
political opponents to face summary trial in mainland courts protesters have been demanding the bill be withdrawn and for lamb to quit she did neither but said that suspending work on the bill would effectively kill it at least for now i have announced that we will suck spend the legislative exercise and immediately that afternoon we put a stop to the legislative exercise by informing the legislative council that the bill will no longer proceed to a 2nd reading debate but what caroline is offering still falls short of a complete withdrawal of this bill that it seems could be too much of a loss of face for her and by association for beijing but that's exactly what her opponents are still demanding an alliance of pro-democracy and student groups are promising to continue their campaign of opposition kerry lamb is actually presenting to the rest of the word that ministration it's going to be
8:27 pm
a lame duck and ministration because she would have a very hot line governing of hong kong from now on after last sunday's unprecedented march by an estimated 2000000 people opposition groups do not want to lose the momentum but possibly using the expanded ranks of activists in more targeted acts of civil disobedience where more people show that determination i believe this kind of massive mobilization will just force. government realized that it's time for them to respond on public. what seems certain phone call is set for more political turmoil as the government and its opponents continue the battle of wills robin wright al-jazeera. systemic and structural failures that see assessment of the un's own report looking into its failure to
8:28 pm
stop the crackdown against the rohingya in myanmar the $36.00 page report says many agencies under the un did not work together to reach a unified strategy that's because officials could not agree on whether to take a robust public approach or pursue quiet diplomacy with me m.r.s. government the report also blames a 15 member security council for not doing more to stop the attacks more than $700000.00 muslims were forced to flee to bangladesh after the military began its crackdown nearly 2 years ago phil robertson is deputy director of the asia division at human rights watch he says the report doesn't go far enough in terms of who should take responsibility for the failure. well if it goes a certain way but really the problem is that they're not naming any names they're not saying who on the u.n. country team or who in new york were responsible for this the problem we have here is that this is a report about accountability where no one is held accountable alternately you know
8:29 pm
everybody blames the system everybody said that there needs to be better coordination there need to be better communication this is almost a parody of discussions about u.n. reform where you know the system is always to blame but no one is in charge of the system well i think that actually it should have been the un resident coordinator the person who was in charge of the u.n. country team in myanmar who presided over this mess and continually downplayed the severity of the crisis i mean she was basically silencing colleagues who wanted to talk up the issues of human rights and an increased warnings about the situation rakhine state instead she's been promoted she's now the u.n. accorded in india so i mean i think once again we see that talk about accountability in the u.n. but really this is a check the box exercise trying to. basically protected me and mar from the kind of sanctions it should have faced from the u.n. security council you know there should have been refer all of what happened in
8:30 pm
rakhine state to the international criminal court but you know trying as blocking that to so i mean trying to is defending crimes against humanity and genocide by the burmese military and unfortunate because they're a permanent member of the u.n. security council they get away with it as always plenty of news on i would satisfy a lot on to c.n.n. dot com. again i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al-jazeera egypt so many democratically elected president mohammed morsi has been buried at a cemetery in cairo at the after he died in courts here in my school. say morsi suffered poor treatment in prison the united nations is calling for an independent investigation into his death thousands of people throughout the middle east are remembering morsi with you know all prayers turkey's president or ship type bedouin attended prayers at a mosque in istanbul where he voiced concern about how morsi died. i do not believe
