turnout shows that the government's crackdown is not working despite massive arrests. in the past weeks more people have gathered to demand that and to police violence and asked those detained to be released what started as a local election protest has turned now into a broader movement i'm here to show you the term kurd for the fish is no government against its own people alexander salafi of is the only opposition candidate who tried to run in the moscow election who is not in detention at least not at the moment before the rally we could only meet him at a public square because he's avoiding arrest by not going home he had been detained for 8 days after the previous protest over the authoritarian regimes collapsed just because of their actions like this because they do everything vice versa they suppress street cred. they try to stop the spread of information they stop they try

to stop something inevitable something that you cannot stop a big victory to stop telling the truth so progress did attention of opposition leaders like ilyushin and alexina at not deter people from taking to the streets at the authorised rally protestors were urged to take part in a not or an authorized rally that's when police started to detain people and again part of the center of moscow is under lockdown people are being detained for peacefully marching here to the city center it wasn't an authorized protest people are being brought in one by one dragged over the floor u.k. and sometimes with quite a lot of force with love been screaming and with this thing at and they're all being brought into the fight while flooding you put in is celebrating his 20 years in power analysts say more russians when their point is to be heard that the citizens are demonstrating something brand new and you where for interacting during this protests and importantly their persistency it's not valued enough but for

a political process like this it's the key factor. so far the authorities have not backed down people were detained during previous weeks but with tens of thousands under street and more protests expected pressure will only grow step fast and. protesters in romania are calling on the prime minister to step down media say that at least $24000.00 people rallied outside government headquarters in bucharest demonstrators say they're angry about corruption and weak public administration they also paid tribute to 2 young women whose killings shocked the country and spot street protests. american jeffrey epstein has been found dead in his new york prison cell he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges officials say that his death is an apparent suicide al-jazeera shahab returns a report style from washington. jeffrey epstein faced a maximum of 45 years in prison for the trafficking of girls as young as 14 to his

homes for sex he pleaded not guilty after being denied bail last month the 66 year old had been found unconscious in a cell with marks on his neck and reportedly placed on suicide watch however there are conflicting reports as to whether he was on suicide watch when he was found hanged in his new york jail cell early saturday morning epstein worked in finance reportedly managing other people's food chains he presented himself as a billionaire and he lived an extravagant lifestyle but the source and extent of his own money is obscure his social circle was extensive and influential documents show former president bill clinton britain's prince andrew and donald trump were all acquaintances and before he became president trump called epstein a quote terrific guy he likes beautiful women as much as i do trump said and added quote many of them are on the youngest side however since epstein's arrest the president has distanced himself i was not a fan of yeah yeah and you watch people yesterday saying that i threw him out of a club i didn't want anything to do with it now is many many years ago it shows you

one thing that ad think that you have along with allegations that he supplied young girls to his circle of influential men all denied by the man in question just on friday thousands of documents were unsealed from a legal case against one of his associates that alleged a young girl was forced to have sex with quote many powerful men including numerous problems american politicians business executives foreign presidents and well known prime minister and other world leaders and quote epstein was 1st indicted in 2007 on similar charges that could potentially have led to him spending life in prison yet he served only 13 months in a private wing of a county jail in florida following a plea agreement under the terms of that deal investigations into his activities were ended and the extent of his crimes and who else was involved concealed the federal prosecutor who negotiated that deal with alexander acosta who subsequently became doldrums labor's. secretary resigning following renewed scrutiny of it would

be selfish for me to say this. and. talking about it it's called years old rather than about a. right now even after epstein is released as a registered sex offender he mixed in elite circles but in july federal prosecutors ordered his arrest again his house was searched and crews of evidence seized it's expected that civil proceedings will continue against epstein's state and perhaps the truth of who epstein was will be settled times the outers there are bruce fein is a former us associates deputy attorney general he joins us now live from washington d.c. bruce good to have you with us what's your take on the death of geoffrey. this is pretty embarrassing for the justice and the the prison service isn't it well it is embarrassing if one if it's a suicide in need supposed to be under constant watch it is true however that that 2 most vulnerable kind of inmates in prison are snitches and child molesters they

have an ethos amongst the prisoners that child molesters are below them and they are the ones who are most likely to be subject to killing if you will murder in the prison that is a suspicion that the attorney general or william barr has voiced so i don't think at this time is we're speaking it's definitive it was a suicide as opposed to an inmate on inmate killing what does epstein's to mean now for. the trial his alleged victims and whether he was guilty or not of the crimes of which he had been accused of will will his alleged victims see any form of justice. yes i think we have to divide the legal process into criminal and civil as a matter of criminal justice the death terminates all the proceedings and the indictments go away he's not going to be found guilty of anything more but on the civil side it's quite different the alleged victims will have an opportunity to

make claims in a probate court which will handle his estate and if they can sue they would sue the estate which would have a lawyer to defend and if they are able to obtain judgments that could be collected against whatever assets are in the estate now it is a little more difficult probably in some cases to prove the sexual molestation when you don't have a living defendant it just a one sided statement perhaps of a woman that you know he forced me to have sex but not impossible especially because apparently in many cases mr epstein used an intercessor woman to recruit these young girls and she would be available to testify as well but i think it seems that given the industrial scale of predation that epstein was implicated in that there will be many judgments but of course not all that you can get expect that some women will come out of the woodwork for altera motives to try to concoct

a claim to get money but i expect those would be the few and the many will actually have judgments about the political fallout from from all of this i mean epstein gone gone to trial president trumps political opponents would have would have tried i suppose to accuse him of guilt by association. i think that's true and i don't think that death necessarily is going to remove that issue from the democrats they'll just say well you this why did you appoint a secretary of labor you know who let this fellow off virtually scot free or very very lenient sentence why weren't you earlier more vocal in denouncing mr epstein and because it comes not in isolation but in the context of mr trump's regular derogatory remarks about women being sex objects and grabbing them in their private parts i think it will carry some weight in the campaign but i wouldn't overstate it for us always good to see ready many thanks indeed for being with us bruce find

a division between sunni and shia muslims and a lot of this is connected to what has been going on politically for example the that the war in syria and particularly the who war in yemen the saudi see iran as a great influence there and the other side of it is iran sees the saudis as basically you know engaged in in warfare and and killing both military and innocents and indeed much of the international community has questioned that that kind of bombing so there's a a real kind a rivalry in tension within the region which can have a spillover effect. south korea has opened the last of 3 hiking trails along the demilitarized zone the government hopes the initiative will promote cooperation with north korea the opening coincides with the launch of several short range missiles by pyongyang al-jazeera scuzzy lopez hayam reports about it for what they
