12:07 am
a few people had been injured in the recent crisis. is a member of the biggest hindu group in india that supports the governing party he says the government has used minimal force during the last 2 weeks if you have an option to fire real bullets and if you have to fire guns then obviously we'll choose the letter and the supreme court of india was very clear that in order to control law and order situation you must use minimum force in the 1st instance and then use the extreme forces analyst disagrees the question is that does use of guns blending of children blaming the men is it a justifiable self-defense by the armed forces against in 2016 the indian government said it would replace pellet guns with a less lethal weapon or on the ground in india that this mean security forces are still using them against those protesting over new delhi's decision to revoke
12:08 am
autonomy. the fear is that if the protests continue in the coming days or months so will the pellet injuries on al-jazeera new delhi one other thing we don't look we want to look at today with kashmir and that is a group of former defense offices scholars and bureaucrats who are challenging the removal of kashmir's autonomy at the supreme court their petition is calling new delhi is decision unconstitutional and president well we have vice marshal capital with us now retired officer of the indian air force he is one of the petition is thank you so much for your time so you're saying unconstitutional and unprecedented well i'm president of definitely what are your hopes of actually getting it to the court and of them agree. in with you. when. as you said. a group of concern people over who have
12:09 am
experience we have a. petition in the supreme court again india questioning the. legality and. all the presidents modification all. amendment golf article. and of course the we would be organized ation but. the key point here making is that many loons strike and hawked of. the. principles under which the state of me. indicated including india do indeed and that is. no a target the sanction of the people who are affected by this is the people of government bush meat. view and perspective is that constitutionally bet it
12:10 am
we have. submitted. the petition. to public interested to. petition. to be listed and to approach this is the supreme court of india we do believe that the points you have made will be in the true spirit of indian democracy which is vibrant which is. and is an example. i'm going to i'm going to. consider while you're talking about the democracy in the supreme court there have been accusations in the past that narendra modi has tried to influence the court and its independence do you worry that that can. stand it is particularly with what he's done in kashmir and that could affect the supreme court.
12:11 am
that's that's the idea indeed there should be a balance between the judiciary the executive and the legislature that is what the document which we call the constitution of india borrowed from the british constitution that's great. french and american constitution i for one have gone through the constitution and. it's a great document meeting the needs of people desperations and democrat liberal and secular pretty work. you are one of 8 petitions correct me if i'm wrong but i believe you are the 8 petition to the supreme court over the issue of kashmir are you all working together perhaps there could be more success in greater numbers. you know where as you go outside where. all of us have experience of fish meat for
12:12 am
example there's a former chief secretary at the ministry of fish meat there is a form of home secretary of union of india there's a you know the brother for example. appointee of the. central government the union government appointee as the member all interlocked because group good right is the government of india on the aspirations of the people and the groups from bitter report i have been on 2nd track and initiatives of multiple public policy think tanks on conflict resolution and peace building should be hasn't seen peace for the last 30 years but the old agenda sure your question now is about protection and that concept more than anything to anything or to have said so far what is up what are our objectives what have we put forth before the on the supreme court and we hope and have faith
12:13 am
in god and the supreme court will take a decision which will be enough favor it means in other words now the decision that has been arrived at without due process so if you heard you can get a constitution to retire the advice marshall capital cock joining us from new delhi today thank you so much for your time. now several people hoping to be the next u.s. president will be in iowa in the next few days at a forum focusing on native american issues most democrats but one of the speakers will be charles who's running as an independent alan fission at a native american aiming to change the face of u.s. policy. mark charles hopes in 17 months he won't be walking in his dining room but from the oval office in the white house he's running for president and believes america is ready to elect a native american i am running this campaign not as a protest but a way. to try to change me
12:14 am
a citizen of the navajo nation he launched his campaign as an independent online my realtor's our name is mark charles and since the launch he's campaigned mainly in native american areas for one very good reason native america alone has the power to put me on the ballot in all 50 states. that is incredibly empowering to our communities which for so many not just decades centuries has been left behind and disenfranchised by this nation and said you don't have any political or voting power and so you're going to be dismissed and. journey the principle plank of his campaign the from the very beginning of the country marginalize many that the us constitution of we the people left women marginalized known whites and put power in the hands of a few i'm laying out this vision of let's build a nation where we the people truly means all the people one political expert says
12:15 am
those who feel excluded might rally around him but not running for one of the 2 big parties makes it hard for his voice to be heard but i do think though that the constituencies he would have to win right and he know that he is going to need all of these people who are you said marginal in our society and these are people who are becoming the majority in america so i think he has the right sensibility i mean i think his message of one of we the people is the kind of message that people are interested in and perhaps why people issue partisan labels but i do think the fact that he is an independent speaks to this larger issue that we have with people who look like non winners charles is only the 2nd native american to run for the u.s. presidency his campaign is small has a source is tiny but he believes he is a big message and that the u.s. is ready for something new from someone whose roots go back to before america was america alan fischer al-jazeera washington. still ahead. afghanistan marks

12:30 am
has been provided yet what we do know is that the deputy head of the u.s. embassy was called in last week for a notification on their website about some unsanctioned rallies basically showing a map of the route as well according to the embassy this was basically to warn its citizens not to go to that area but according to parliament members here this could be a sign to actually encourage people to go to that area another medium that are now being scrutinized as you tube because of notifications they apparently have been sending about live streaming of these unsanctioned rallies and also the well has been mentioned for a tweet which also according to look to lawmakers here they encourage people to go to this rally for we haven't heard anything we haven't also heard any proof we just interviewed the deputy of the state duma mr trotsky and he also said that this whole investigation has to provide this evidence and there's still
12:31 am
a possibility there isn't any evidence of this foreign interference but where is this now all about of course playing this foreign interference card it's basically distracting also the attention from the real reasons behind the protesters basically saying that these people have no real reasons to go onto the streets and that they're basically only being encouraged by foreigners and that's in the narrative that the state duma basically is now trying to play here the french and russian presidents amazing in southern france head of the g. 7 summit there is a manual marker on his with discussing the world's major crises from ukraine to iran to syria we have gotten to the following events for us from for the work and so on where the meeting is taking place what you distill for us what's come out of this. well the french president and russian leader will be meeting very shortly for official talks but just before
12:32 am
they go in behind closed doors they did offer some brief statements the french president has made it very clear that he invited. into his summer residence here in bragg are sought in order to try and persuade putin to take steps to end fighting in ukraine now the french president says that for him he feels there is a will a window of opportunity with the recent election of the new ukrainian president vladimir she lenski he's made it clear that he wants the fighting in eastern ukraine to end he made it one of his presidential campaign promises and emanuel back or when he met in june in paris said that he was very hopeful that the peace process that was started back in 2015 could be reignited what we heard also from the russian president on this very issue he said he was open he said that there is a certain promise in the 2 will discuss that later then also discuss of course other international issues they've made it very clear that they wanted to talk
12:33 am
about iran's president hoping that russia will use its influence on tehran to try and deescalate tensions that have been of course rising in the region ever since the u.s. pulled out of the 2015 iran deal last year they also said that their talk about syria with france trying to urge and put pressure on russia to end the fighting in the region or also raising the issue of human rights how important it is it's. a meeting like this is happening just before the g. 7 just before my current host the g 7 i'm thinking about the fact that russia got kicked out of the g. 8 because of crimea back in 214. that's right well it is very significant because of course these kind of invitations to vladimir putin by western leaders are very rare because relations between western leaders and the russian president are increasingly strained and have been over the
12:34 am
years over issues such as ukraine but also differences or syria now the fact that emanuel macro is hosting the g 7 at a novel coastal resort of the city of beer it's in the south of france this saturday leaders will be there including donald trump it is significant because what he's also doing by inviting a russia even though russia was kicked out of the g. $740.00 the g. 8 because it and in 2014 a model might call sending the signal that fake him even though russia is not part of this group of world leaders that still of course a very influential and key international player and emmanuel michael says it's absolutely important to keep the dialogue open with russia at all times and he is expected to bring what he learns here from putin to that summit when it begins on saturday in the circle close. thank you so much for that update. now more heavy rain is expected in many parts of india bringing a threat of floods more than $270.00 people have already been killed in the monsoon
