mass rally since the withdrawal of the extradition bill by chief executive kerry lam it was organized by the civil human rights front which is to millions of people to its weekend marches in the past few months sarah clarke is live for us now in hong kong. sarah tell us what's happening there right now. in the last we saw some clashes between the police and the protesters and basically the protesters were throwing bricks petrol bombs within the actual government headquarters building that's when the riot police moved in the water canon was brought in the water cannon was that was basically dosed with a blue paint and that blue paint on these protests is a way of identifying those people who've been involved in these demonstrations and when the police want to move in and receive same better rounds of backgrounds we've seen rubber bullets we've also seen numerous rounds of tear gas and what they've done is they've moved the protesters now back behind me we've got right place hundreds of place moving in from both sides trying to pretty much surround the

protesters who were here block writing parts of central to this part of central is in shut down all the shops are shut all the roads are blockaded and the police have moved in so certainly some extraordinary scenes in the last hour or so here where we are which is government headquarters and is there a fear there that things things could get violent given the previous protests that have turned. well these scenes are becoming familiar on hong kong streets every weekend we saw similar scenes last weekend where we saw tens of thousands of people once again rally in parts of central now last weekend we saw the various m.t.r. stations in central they were set on fire at the moment we've got a number of m.t.r. stations which have been shut down this whole area is blockaded but as i said the right place have certainly out their behavior they want to they want to arrest some of these other the more radical groups a small up minority group but certainly before we had parts of government headquarters parts of the headquarters were on fire the water cannon even caught on

fire so certainly we're seeing this kind of bomb of confrontations between protesters and police every weekend all right for the moment for us there in hong kong. we've got plenty more ahead on this new sound unprecedented call for a coalition in israel and how palestinian israelis are being courage to vote. stamping out what they call the scourge of terrorism how leaders in west africa are spending a $1000000000.00. and later in sport english champions manchester city are put in their place by un fancied opponents leo will be here with that story. told us they have a 1st tunisians are voting to elect their 2nd president since the 2011 revolution of the rule is one of 26 people vying for the role left vacant by the subsea who

died in july at the age of 92 polls haven't picked a clear winner if nobody reaches 50 percent of the vote a 2nd election will be held by november 3rd stephanie decker is at a polling station in tunis stephanie what's the mood among people there they've got lots of candidates to choose from. but they're all dealing with difficult problems right now as far as the economy. yes whatever side of politics you're on here everyone we've been speaking to over the last week will tell you that there are real issues to deal with here economy security and corruption yes the fact that you've had a political transition that there is a fledgling democracy you're seeing it happening here now is being held this is as a success story yes people have more freedoms to discuss things out in the open but they're now telling us what they want is change they want to ever take the next

seat of the presidency will improve things on the ground we've been speaking to people here in the capital tunis and this is a bit of how they feel about this vote. for 20 years feisal has been sitting in this exact same spot in tunis is ancient medina creating souvenirs engraved with tunisia's past but the future is far harder to hammer out militant ideas with been going downhill since 2011 and everything politicians are arguing and we pay the price what used to cost $1.00 do you know is now 10 or more used to cost team day now now it's $30.00 we ask him if you'll vote in sunday's election. maybe know if. you voted many times before he tells us and that's been more than enough for him he doesn't trust the politicians. 36 year old abdul harder feels the same disappointment he will go to the polling booth on sunday but in protest to the

commercial it's just i will cast a blank vote so no one else can use it many of us are not satisfied the presidential elections were brought forward by 2 months after the death of the late president 92 year old. it's the 2nd major elections to be held here 8 years after mass protests force the ouster of strongman saying that aberdeen ben ali there are $26.00 candidates among the prime minister and defense minister a former president a couple of lawyers and even a media tycoon who is currently in prison they represent a cross-section of political social and religious ideals illusions have a lot of toys and that's a real difference from before the protests broke out here in 2011 which is in decades of single party rule tunisia is often cited as the only success story of the uprisings which swept across north africa in the middle east 2011 but it's not that simple 1st of all i mean having. democratization process succeeding and this

is happening because in the middle of the middle east and north africa this is unique this is an exception we cannot deny that at the same time what can democracy provide in terms of. unama demands that's the major challenge so it's a mixed story if we meet a group of ladies in the medina they too aren't happy with what's been achieved in the last 8 years economy security corruption the main issues everyone highlights this after the revolution everything had to change but nothing has changed everything is actually worse infrastructure for instance we just had terrible floods here the economy before everything was covered up but after the revolution it's now out there for you to see tunisians go to the polls on sunday if no candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote there will be a runoff in november many will tell you that is an almost certain scenario parliamentary elections will take place in october the next 2 months could reshape

the entire political landscape and determine what tunisia would look like moving forward. what we've just had the 1st figures out from the election commission in terms of voter turnout as of 9 o'clock in the morning so that's an hour off the holes were opened 1.6 percent of people of registered voters have come out to vote so we have to wait and see throughout the day what the turnout is going to be certainly there is just point in the political parties you heard in our report there are some people not going to vote but others will tell you that they hope that whoever they vote for this time around is not just going to be about political rhetoric that it's actually going to make a change one man even saying to us that they're not going to actually do something we're going to have to need another revolution so it is important times here engineer but yes people now are demanding that these candidates whoever wins does something to improve their lives on the ground. all right stephanie death to life 1st there in 2 years. palestinian israelis are being urged to vote in greater

numbers in tuesday's elections there only half of them cast their ballots in april's vote a leading palestinian israeli politician has also made an unprecedented coalition call provoking strong responses very forces report what your. big dog days left in the election campaign a clash over race voting and hidden cameras came to a head in the israeli parliament. you are a liar shouted knesset member i'm an ordering confronting israel's prime minister with a camera phone benjamin netanyahu had been trying unsuccessfully to force through last minute legislation allowing party activists to film inside polling stations palestinian israeli politicians saw that has an attempt to intimidate voters in arab areas. but in this election i'm an order isn't just taking on what he calls netanyahu is racist campaign he's confronting a long held within palestinian israeli politics saying he would be prepared to be

the 1st leader to take his group of mainly palestinian parties into israeli coalition government albeit with conditions that make it unlikely in the near future that they know that. we have a great influence on who will form the government if you put aside the arab vote in your who will be the pm if you include the arab vote then there are other scenarios other members of his alliance have distanced themselves from his message but a recent poll suggests nearly 80 percent of palestinian israelis are in favor of either joining a coalition government or supporting one within the knesset nobody ever expected an arab politician to say it and the reason is for all sorts of historic internal debates among the arab palestinian citizens and israel there's been a very ambivalent feeling to what extent the parties should legitimize the israeli government to what extent being part of the israeli government puts them in a position where they would have to give up on very significant principles in april's elections the turnout among palestinian israelis was down to a new low. 50 percent so with this idea of more active political engagement lift

that number. and voting is a very positive step people here don't do it and if you don't vote our vote goes to rival parties but i am against arab parties joining an israeli government i think it's good if they join a left wing government not a right wing races government that works against arabs the palestinian citizens of israel there is a level of support for the idea of engaging in coalition government in the future but the palestinian israeli politicians they say the vital thing is that their electorate comes out and votes in greater numbers than they have before to have any chance of bringing down the administration of benjamin netanyahu netanyahu is him so if using or days starts to warn voters of the suppose a danger in supporting the main opposition led by benny gantz and yeah i like pete will be me at the head of the good or will it be the pig and guns at the head of a leftist government that will include a move to be and i mean as minister of them their government those politicians say

netanyahu is trying to diligent him eyes palestinian israelis in gauge meant in national politics the question is whether this time it might inspire them instead to engage more are a force that al-jazeera israel. leaders in west africa have pledged a $1000000000.00 to combat attacks by fighters linked to al qaida an eyesore held an emergency summit in bikini a fast so just a few days after an attack there catherine soy reports in the capital. a moment of silence for 29 people who were killed in 2 separate attacks in northen book enough last week one of the attacks happened at a location where all desire was filming just a day alia a minibus carrying civilians drove over land mine 15 people were killed. heads of state who attended this emergency summit organized by the regional bloc raised concern about the increasing number of cross border attacks by armed groups in the

regional efforts to contain the crisis have not quite been effective in the past because of conflicting interests by individual countries and regional organization as well as competition for resources and visibility are both say that a military intervention on its own cannot work without a development agenda in. the fight against terrorism is not only about deploying troops there are many regions that have been neglected by governments for years people are poor and frustrated the issue of disparity must be addressed. they've been more than 2000 attacks by armed groups in this hell in the last few years just over 11000 people have been killed in book enough so many of the displaced have sought refuge in schools camps set up by the government and aid workers as well as with well wishes in safe areas where they fled to. the action plan they've been

government needs to slash spending and that's a big challenge for the next president many tunisians say there are unhappy with what's already been cut almost 3 is lecture of islamic studies of qatar university he supports the i'm not the party candidate he joins us here on set thanks very much for being with us and so regardless of who does win. this election whether it's in the or anybody else what is what should they be doing to tackle the economic problems in tunisia because that seems to be the biggest issue for people there. anyway the economic issue. challenge is not facing the president in his turn it's a governmental issue the president may have some initiatives or dialogue between the different parties in the country to mediate this and lead to a reform of the economy x. and the new strategies but it's not the main role of the president to tackle the

issue of economy the constitution has set very clear hold of the president is the national security the dialogue between the different parties the to secure democracy and the constitution are protected from any change and the diplomacy is the main roles of the. president as a president he can play major roles so especially when we talk about diplomatic economic diplomacy. the president and mainly the fact that more for example because i mentioned my support for him he insisted that he would use his power to generate support to economy from foreign elian's. very kind of disillusioned with the whole political system right now that's that's the sense that we get from them and as was

reported earlier turned out today so far has been has been quite. early in the day what can. any government whether it's. the president do to bring the various parties together so those issues are addressed so people feel like that something is actually being done. first as i told you because of the main role of the president is to mediate any negotiation between the different parties he's not . the main player in economy is the government is the parliament. and the president do to bring. is a major player to bring together the government unionists the. business people and they bring them together to lead a dialogue to push the economy towards a newly formed towards achieving the expectation of the people this is the main

goal and here. normally the people are expected to use the person who is talented to lead the discussion to lead the dialogue with between the different parties but if people are expecting any of the presidents to the to be the main player in the economic area it does not fit with the constitution so it's just a mediator between the different parties to tackle the main issues that are facing the economy and this was like speaking of the economic issues we mentioned there how the i.m.f. is saying that. is government needs to cut spending further to reduce their debts their debt levels but that's going to have a huge effect on on on on. their for the worse because going to. government spending is because already is that something that the the next government should

be should be pursuing should be discussing should have a policy that tackle this issue but it does not mean that this is the only solution but the i think we have to wait for the general election where the political parties are going to police and programs to the future of the museum future of the economy and from there because the winning party is going to form the government and. we would expect the economic future often easier and the president should play a role to bring all the parties together to play pushing on towards the chronometer for good to speak with him but he thinks english means palestinian refugees in lebanon say they don't have enough money to live and are demanding asylum there protesters say a government crackdown on foreign workers is adding to their plight reports from

beirut. they're demanding a dignified life a future for their children palestinian refugees have been gathering outside western embassies in the lebanese capital beirut demanding humanitarian asylum. to live. we want. to give our children indication palestinians are criticizing a recent lebanese government crackdown on undocumented foreign labor as refugees they believe they should be exempt lebanese law already bans them from working in many professions and denies them access to public services as part of a long standing policy to discourage them from staying. if we are denied the right to work and open businesses then how do we pay for medical treatment for example and it was says it covers 100 percent of the cost but that is not true only 10 percent of my father's operation he was

a cancer patient and he has since passed away international aid for palestinian refugees has decreased in recent years the un relief and works agency which supports palestinian refugees says it is providing services to all of them but it needs $120000000.00 to be able to fund operations until the end of the year palestinians have been living here for more than 70 years since the creation of israel but now the situation is getting worse unemployment was already a problem before the recent decision by lebanese authorities that requires them to take work permits are not only expensive but they are also difficult to get the palestinians who own shops like us are were also affected by the government crackdown this 27 year old lost his livelihood in a country going through a severe economic crisis. told me i have no right because i'm a palestinian. many of us are graduates the use of kidding your children.

they are not allowed to work there is anger and resentment among the almost 200000 refugees they say they should be given special status and not be treated as foreign workers but many have lost hope in their host country and they're looking for a better life outside lebanon. beirut. indonesia is struggling with refugees escaping conflict and poverty in africa the middle east and elsewhere in asia many say they've been left in limbo for years waiting for documentation so they can be resettled mohamed reports from jakarta. they came to indonesia and hoped they could start a new life in australia new zealand or canada but many say they're now stranded. in afghanistan and 2015 he and his family live in this makeshift shelter without electricity basic sanitation and little food.

but their food. mohamed is one of 400 refugees sharing this small spacing in west jakarta up to 26 men live in this room using cardboard boxes and plastic sheets to make the floor more comfortable to sleep on unable to work or study they sit and wait for transit papers permanent assistance but as conflicts in africa and the middle east continue frustration levels are rising the refugees have been demonstrated to be front of the un refugee agency for the past several weeks many of them have come from. pakistan to don eritrea somalia and iraq. 7 many blame the authorities for not doing enough. you're not. doing here you are supposed to protect all the. treating them equally.

indonesia is home 214000 refugees and asylum seekers but is not a signatory to the un refugee convention which means it only acts as a transit country but the australian government has tightened its borders to refugees from indonesia and cut its international funding to migrants the un refugee agency says chances for resettlement are limits. direct assistance isn't going to be the answer because everyone needs to be able to have the tools to take care of themselves and this is why we're working with the government the government of indonesia here to try to find ways under the indonesian laws for refugees to have the ability to take care of themselves so they don't always have to depend on handouts rights groups saying no single group is responsible for the backlog. what i think is very important in order to sort of situation is to really bring of the

parties together civil society business sectors and also governmental agency as well as the refugees but it is about the refugees want their voices heard having come this far they say it's their only hope for healing mohamed al jazeera jakarta . 82 migrants rescued a week ago in the mediterranean sea by the ocean viking charity ship had been allowed to land on the italian island of lampedusa it's the 1st time in months a rescue ship has been given permission to dock in an italian port after the previous government's ban the new government has promised an approach a new approach and prime minister just separate content he said several you countries agreed to accept the rescued migrants. it is called remain in mexico the new agreement between the mexican and u.s. governments on asylum seekers tens of thousands are stuck waiting to see if they'll be allowed to start a new life in the u.s.
