quite quickly and bring some winds across the area 1st of all we're going to be dealing with the winds here on friday across much of the u.k. up here towards parts of denmark and then as we go towards saturday that front will continue to make its way towards the south and we are going to see some windy conditions particular here across the northern part of spain as well rain is going to be the forecast here on saturday for paris but for london we're going to be seeing those northerly winds for the time to few of about 19 degrees it's also been heavy rain across much of italy but those rains are going to start to ease their way over here towards the east as we go towards saturday vienna though it is going to be a chilly day for you with the temps are there about 15 degrees berlin at 20 and over here towards worser at about $21.00 degrees. the weather sponsored by countdown and. in other words to finally we're going ask about that but that's to fall as a bonus when it's not as if that are not so is there not to do. a lot of that a moment of a cousin to punches approach on the bottom. in part one of this 2 part series

al-jazeera explores the world of performance enhancing drugs. sports doping the endless cheney's on al-jazeera. welcome back our top story this hour on al-jazeera the former president of zimbabwe robert mugabe has died at the age of 95 he had been in poor health in a hospital in singapore mugabe served as the head of a country for 37 years before being deposed in a military coup in 27. the

u.k. prime minister voice johnson has declared he would rather be dead in a day each than ask for another delay for breaks it he made the blunt remark after suffering heavy defeats in pont in being abandoned by his own brother who is quitting the government under simmons has our report from london. boris johnson may have suffered a humiliating defeat at attempts to call a general election but here in the north of england you could be forgiven for thinking the campaign had already begun do you want this government to take us out of the 31st or do you want john recall being a labor party to go to that crucial summit in brussels table the 17th can you make a promise today to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another tonight yes and so he can and would you like that i'd rather be dead in a ditch it's a good day dale johnson's day had started in downing street with a visit from u.s. vice president mike pence and this was the message from the white house the united

states is ready willing and able to immediately negotiate a free trade agreement with the u.k. the national this is not the table as far as a negotiation. and. we're not using all that already. we have we have a mortgage. of our own. then like south off the remark aimed at the labor opposition leader i think. thank you all very much but it's time to move on and i thought i was writing the passive story i think apart there's nothing funny about the latest resignation and the prime minister's brother joe johnson quitting as junee a business minister he tweeted in recent weeks i've been told between family loyalty and the national interest it's an unresolvable tension and time for others to take on my roles. thank you the prime minister was asked about his brother's departure

if your own brother come back you why should anyone else joe doesn't agree with me about the european union because it's a it's an issue that obviously didn't divides families and divides everybody but i think what joe would agree is that we need to get on and sort this thing out and so what next all seems set for boris johnson to again seek parliamentary approval to call the election next monday but does the labor leader jeremy coburn accept that or scupper it again with boxing in boris johnson even more than he is already under it symons out 0 westminster as correspondents in london are deemed who is live with us now nadeem so what is a prime minister up to today. well fully right now he's up in scotland he's just arrived at

a fish market he's basically on pre-election maneuvers if you like and we saw it on thursday when he was in the north of england making a speech in the town of wakefield in front of police offices and he came under some criticism from some in the police for the way that he handled that people calling it a stunt and politicizing the force he's really under a lot of fire from various quarters as you heard in andrew's report there in scotland he's going to be pledging more money for scottish farmers and then on friday night he'll be staying at the queen's bow moral estate for one night only it really does seem that he's trying if you like to be kept away from from from the cameras as in terms of impromptu appearances in wakefield he was confronted by a member of the public who shouted at him why are you here you should be in brussels negotiating and as you were hearing there are lots of people now who are saying that really he's his promise is that he is trying to get

a deal before the end of october a really empty seat on the do or die approach really is what lies at the basis of his approach and in an hour or so would you to hear what happens in this challenge to the efforts by the government to suspend parliament for 5 weeks but see if it goes ahead would come in next monday they're not sitting here on friday but the loads the opportunity here behind me are due to finish debating and then voting on this delayed bill which would force the prime minister to seek an extension to bret's it beyond the end of october thank you for that life i send london. when voters in moscow head to the polls in the city lection on sunday their ballot papers want to show a single candidate running on the ticket of president that mere pertains united russia party. instead those members will be standing as independent candidates the move comes on the back of declining popularity for united russia and notch protests

against a ban blocking some opposition politicians from running and reports. only the presence of a beer it's a way that this is an election rally for united russia the animal has often been used to symbolize the ruling party and has been hired here to entertain supporters of stephen colbert but the united russia veteran who has been a member of the moscow duma a regional parliament since it was founded in 1903 is not running for her party on the ballot she's an independent candidate running for the money i'm running i'm a member of this body saying i'm a member of this body everybody wants to have a lot of people if there are a problem with your party you know we haven't any problem i brought out that i am a member of the right and that's all thank you very much.

ratings for the party which was founded soon after put in became president in 1909 dropped 11 percent to 28 percent last year after the retirement age was increased a move that led to a nationwide protest during last year's regional elections united russia lost for governor positions analysts say the party's very name has become a liability a campaign rally for united russia but not a single party flacco banner and you see the candidates here say they're here to hurt coke people in moscow and they don't need to use the park its name but i will say it shows how deep united russia has fallen the usually low key moscow elections have attracted worldwide attention after more than 30 opposition candidates were banned from running government officials cited administrative mistakes. the decision led to weeks of protests candidates and protesters being detained and one

leading opposition candidate lubow sobel going on a hunger strike. this shows that in moscow the opposition is strong enough to cause problems to those in power problems they did not have before when in previous elections candidates were not allowed to run it was fine today it has led to major political event the chairman of the moscow duma here on campaign trail sasa disqualification of the opposition candidates is legitimate and calls the election process fear. the most cruel actions a totally legal electoral process is followed the rule of law candidates can be registered according to the documents we saw and court rulings that have taken place they failed to get proper documents although the moscow duma is not seen as an influential body the elections are considered a task for national elections 2 years from now without a strong party in parliament it could be more difficult for president putin to stay in power beyond his last term which ends in 2024 steps fast and al-jazeera

region and the indonesian government well here pop one perspectives in a bit of. 1st let's go to ottawa where we're joined by after the cards are jelani indonesia's ambassador to canada welcome ambassador i'm going to start with a because the west is not in the news very often i want to a lot of international audience where it is i'm going to show the map in the deep red color you will see. the area that's known as the west papuan region the all in geria is the rest of. you'll notice that's that a buyer is small town that's a place where the regional instant of the monkey name calling happened and then the alveolar is that we have malta areas where there have been big protests also areas where they've been limited amount of connectivity with people's mobile phones and the internet and that's something to go 1st of all to your president this is him about 2 weeks ago on what was happening in the west papuan region having this says you got the last number in. thank god the situation is back to normal again and an

apology has been issued this shows the greatness of our hearts that stand united together and the mutual respect and value we have for each other as fellow countrymen and as. so as you can. already have ordered the police chief to take legal action against racial and ethnic discrimination in a strict manner and please take note of this i will also invite leaders from pop-y. and west papuan traditional leaders community leaders and religious leaders to come to the presidential palace to talk about the acceleration of welfare and. ambassador present this song thank god the situation is back to normal again that was 2 weeks ago maybe he was being a little bit too optimistic how would you describe the situation today you know from the information that we got some of the ground conditions. but i know it's not perfect yet. i think we are very optimistic the start of this situation and the

security. optimistic but i want to bring this in this tweeted from virginia really sharing something that came out of the u.n. this from the u.n. human rights chief michel batter that we are seeing an outpouring of popular discontent and mass protests or there suppression with the firm hand of the state listing indonesia's popular province among regions where dialogue is needed to prevent rest how did it get to this point ambassador. read know about the situation in poor taste not is not perfect yet as of to be but as i'm telling you now. of course there are some. we need to do we need to restart that and the 2nd thing is a dialogue i think it is clear from the a statement made by our prasad that we are willing to go out with other community leaders with local leaders so it sounds

a strong message that indonesian government is very willing to listen all the aspiration and all the of the wishes of the people one of the things that you do is your job is to explain into these are to the rest of the world real still are very curious about how do we get to the situation where police according west papuans monkeys west papuans are protesting and you in a situation where you need to have dialogue with your own citizens i'm still not clear how that started from your perspective ambassador there is one thing that we must be bearing in mind you know what happened we'd never gone beyond what happened . as such racial slur is unacceptable and. the statement meet would happen in just not only hurt or hurt the feeling of the populace but the whole indonesian as

a one nation. to some extent it is indeed it is indeed. an expression that. we will be against our principle as you say and. there's clearly grievances there and i wanted to share this video you'll just see scenes this is from the twitter account free west papuan incredible scenes in jayapura west as the indonesian flag was torn down and the west pop one flag the morning star is to raise thousands of people can be seen below chanting for freedom so easy those scenes right there that i want to switch over here to where someone with that handle morningstar and they say should australia rule hong kong because they had the same colonial master pop war and indonesia have nothing in common except the same colonial masters it's racism to support this nonsense and that is

referencing the idea of the question should remain part of indonesia clearly there are grievances here clearly there are people who are upset what would you say to people who say there needs to be a referendum on independence one thing going to be need to remember. who i seem stupid the beginning is always remains part of indonesia. and the fact that the popular is a part of a lot of the ability it is peace on international law it is justified by international law that is a principle of the posting to this but a principle so you know starts a statement as. hong kong and. by the sea monster it is just as twisting a statement. once against the op why so are the ability is it justified by international law this is the 1st thing the 2nd thing use of the south determination has been internally and externally exercise. ambassador abdul

qadeer jelani thank you so much for joining us on the string today we appreciate your time thank you thank you and we want to move on to share more perspectives on west pop west so we are joined by benny when the chairman of the united liberation movement the west papa he joins us from oxford in the u.k. and job jakarta indonesia yenny wahid executive director of the heat institute a group that campaigns for religious freedom and a melbourne australia a victim or a journalist based in a west palm thank you very much for joining us so eager to get in our community in this because we got a couple of video comments from people and i want to share just one of them giving an insight into some of the grievances that people are sharing and we tried to ask the ambassador there what led to this we didn't quite get that answer so benny i'm going to share this from legia gay she's a ph d. candidate at murdoch university and here the grievances from her perspective.

toward. an isolated incident this is something that has occurred for decades students studying one student studying outside of. we've always heard stories about how they're called monkeys. of course also has impacted. also have been called. who have been called monkeys or nuclear. for. this is one incident where an appeal is actually thrown into the field so many you can hear some of the hurt in her voice their commute describe for us what it's like to be in indonesia. if you're feeling. 588 years we've been under suppressed by indonesia illegal occupation that's ambassador to say that. it's part of indonesia

but not west proper never part of indonesia we've been separated we've been separate we had different graphically culturally linguistically we had never been part of indonesia that's why they called us a monkey from the beginning when since they're. going to occupied our country 96 to treat since then blasted beginning 500000 men a woman has been killed up to now so in the news ambassador he claimed that was popular part of indonesia never in the west but was never a part of indonesia we 20 years we separate indonesia got independent 9045 west but when they were part of indonesia we are call it dutch new guinea that's why dutch give a independent 961-6263 indonesia illegally occupied that's why that's the beginning of the massacre up to now so indonesia claim over what's

proper is illegal so they say cleaning is continuing rape torture imprisonment people just coming out and arrests read peacefully we demand our right to self-determination 9069 indonesia and we are called to pretoria we call actually doing choice that is why we don't talk lame that you know new you'll agree men 66. august 96 somebody we're number one bringing the international committee out today with a story that as you know of plath and many many decades you have me please jump in here because what that he's saying is that we don't even belong to you do you have no claim to have for us this is the one just a question. here i. if you want to look at. what i think is simplifying the issues just to say an issue of human rights violations there are many structural issues

that have been happening in part one and that has led to the sense factions and grievances that many have feeling to this day i think. the process of creation process is not yet the process is not finished yet and there are many things that the central government should have done better to integrate the pup once more into the society but i would i don't understand how many i'm saying is the answer you get it to me a lot of things today as well i don't understand what integration means in the context of indonesia and the west papuan region can you give us an example yes but what ben you mentioned before about the new york. 69 basically that gave granting it only shows. that the police as part of the leisure and. and it's.
