there is this kind of general fear of if you don't belong to this party you are with this party and this polarization and the lack of trust the lap of also political dialogue is something that also impacts on the in germans of the right for freedom of association peaceful assembly in many of my discussion with victims of. excessive use of force by police those victim related that they were targeted because they belong to opposition party. the most recent alleged abduction was of union leader dr peter magowan day today's health workers marched to manage no way they call it was he was later found alive government officials deny abducting citizens the police is keen to apprehend the alleged abductors so as to bring them to justice and protect the public. also raise concerns about the

role of the army and police in dealing with demonstrations against the government during violence after elections last year at least 6 people protesting over the disputed results were shot dead by soldiers no one was arrested in january several were killed when security forces broke up a demonstration of a rising prices then in august police violently broke up an anti-government protest organized by the main opposition party movement for democratic change several people were injured the hope many suburbans had of a more open society and better economy when president. took over from robert mugabe has turned into disillusion zimbabwe's economy is in trouble millions of people here are struggling with soaring inflation and high unemployment but often those who have led protests have disappeared or been arrested that's why some here say keeping quiet keeps using. a final report by the u.n. to be released next year will give recommendations to the government how to better

protect citizen's rights but some people here say they have heard these words before and nothing's changed. algis or. protesters have looted shops and set fire to police cars and haiti's capital over food and fuel shortages at least for protestors have been killed in port au prince in recent days as haitians demand the resignation of president juvenal maureen's traitors accuse moyes of failing to deal with deep rooted corruption and he is appealing for calm. now joins me now from our port au prince so manual any reaction to those calls for calm did it have any of effect. as you can see night has fallen over the haitian capital and things have quieted down quite a bit since those massive protests so wet that of the city earlier today there is almost a self-imposed lockdown of the city since the sun went down earlier today it's hard

to believe that these are protests that began 3 weeks ago over prostration over fuel shortages that had massive impacts on people's daily lives not just here in port au prince but in the rest of the country and earlier today we saw thousands of people take to the streets police use tear gas to disperse crowds but honestly with with little effect people still still marched on the streets making their way up into the suburban parts of port au prince wanting to continue to pressure the president as of now noise to resign and what we're hearing from from the opposition leaders here in the country is a call for these protests to continue despite president boy he's calling for a national dialogue opposition leaders are asking protesters to continue to take to the streets to continue to pressure the president to step down so this is unrest in the country that despite the calm we're seeing now despite that despite things actually quieting down you can hear the difference if you would see behind me earlier today you would be able to see the smoke billowing from the streets where

protesters had used honestly anything at their disposal to to block the streets logs rocks of burning tires so these calls from the opposition signaled to us that this is unrest that's going to continue into the coming days that the another option though the latest on the situation in 1000 thank you. now young people have been demonstrating across europe as part of the anti climate change movement for the future that was started by the. greenpeace activists took over a stadium calling for action on climate change rome was one of the. protests took place but many schools letting students out early to take part. took place in austria and hung. herself addressed hasa 1000000 people at another rally in the canadian city of. a 16 year old activist told the crowd the fight

against climate change stop until world leaders take the program problem seriously .

world and it's been that way for a long time it's the sprinters who can traditionally grab global attention and for the 1st time since 2003 the men won't have you saying bolt lining up alongside them another 1st season running in a stadium with a cool technology that is likely to be so cool you know you're from. all this then you just feel a breeze it's good i feel pretty good quality better minor for tomorrow when i want to know you saying well so does it feel strange lining up in a championship without it you know i mean you've got so many other athletes young athletes already there running their prime in themselves out so that's where you really get a focus on fans will see the 1st track medals of these championships handed out on saturday and the richardson al-jazeera doha after dance at the stadium came to a close they don't know how waterfront hosted the opening ceremony 2000 athletes are over 200 countries are competing at these championships the mayor of catarrh

doping suspensions during his career now you saying both see of course at the world championships for the 1st time since 2003 and more but was so good of it was beyond him being a brilliant sprint's and his personality was such that when he was involved of the slightly more negative story surrounding track and field just disappear into the review mirror that is no longer the case but isn't here anymore and everyone involved in track and field athletes it's hoping that a big new still kind of merge these championships ok great stuff andy thank you to other sport now when it was red bulls match for step in who set the pace after the opening practice day for the russian grand prix in sochi it's up the timings ahead of ferrari's there in the 2nd session sadie's have won every race that this circus since it came on to that one calendar. on the games at the rugby world cup on friday but the big news is that u.s. player john quail has been kicked out of the tournaments after his red card against

critical of bodies on the arm for india's biggest stunts but the industry's stunt performers are unknown and under 101 ace mates the men and women. risking getting to the bright lights of polling on 00. protests across egypt for its 2nd successive friday demanding president's easy step down. and you're watching al-jazeera live from also coming out. u.s.

media reports the u.s. presidents on voysey ukraine past the latest developments in the controversy over tom's phone call to the ukrainian president. must give the people of the right of self-determination. an emotional appeal by the pakistani prime minister as he warns of a bloodbath in indian administered kashmir. shamed abused and tortured nigerian please free at least 300 imprisoned voice. hundreds of egyptians have defied the security clampdown for a 2nd successive friday and join demonstrations demanding the president steps down they kiss up to fight the l.c.c. of corruption and destroying the economy our rights groups are reporting the biggest roundup of mass arrests in c.z.

took over in 2013 after overthrowing the democratically elected president mohamed morsi stephanie decker has more on the story. they took a risk to come out to the streets in protest for a 2nd friday that's despite warnings from egyptian security forces that they would face a harsh response al-jazeera cannot independently verify these. videos but they are said to be in canada the city and are pretty gypped and also in l.a. want to clear the capital cairo other reports suggest a large security presence in central cairo with the streets virtually deserted the roads the higher square which has been the heart of previous protests over the years blocked off. another narrative in what is just as much a media campaign state television showing pro-government protests in the capital president abdel fatah sisi returned to cairo early on friday from the un general assembly in new york this welcome posted on his official facebook page with the president reassures this crowd that all is well with the market what are you doing

here why you got up early on a friday morning life is good and easy you have to know that the egyptians are very aware of how they try to fake the realities unrealistic things and deceive the people for the sake of allah and for the sake of you what happened before will never happen again don't worry and don't be worried good morning to you but despite the president's assurances something is happening here we're going out troops all over the streets of cairo now is and we are to do random checks all over the city is a very clear reflection of this government's insecurity. the fact that the thing that runs this government more than anything else is the voice of its own people our government didn't secure any standing at security with little missy and it. wouldn't be so frightened or terrified by hundreds of protesters in the streets of cairo it started with this man mohammed alley

a contractor for the egyptian military for 15 years the largest and most powerful institution in the country recently breaking rank uploading videos statements from spain where he now lives in self-imposed exile accusing senior military leaders of wasting millions of dollars to build villas palaces and hotels it hasn't gone down well with many who are finding it hard to live day by day more recently there's a lot of economic discontent seizes economic policies have mostly failed the wealth gap has increased and egypt's poverty rate is rising pretty dramatically hundreds came out to protest last friday what has been the biggest show of discontent against he sees rule. human rights watch says nearly 2000 people have been arrested in the last week alone al jazeera is banned from reporting inside the country the bigger picture of what is happening here may take time to become clear but it seems once again egyptians have lost their fear and are defying widders to remain silent

stephanie decker al-jazeera. you heard stephanie mention muhammad ali that's the former government contractor whose videos helped spark the protests he has issued a new message on social media calling on president sisi to resign over this one how did. she see you sway that you will leave power of the people don't want you so please be a man if you would don't let your offices upset the people let them walk in the streets freely you promise the people freedom so please stop being a liar. well the u.n. high commissioner for human rights says over 2000 people have so far been arrested and held a reminded the gyptian government that under international law people have the right to protest peacefully and she urged authorities to radically change their approach to any future protests today they called us as a nonresident fellow at the tucker institute for middle east policy and he says the situation in egypt remains fragile. the government's reaction even before the

protests began was very intense in terms of the president himself addressing these videos we got a statement from the minister of defense insisting the military was you know unified we saw enormous amount of propaganda on egyptian t.v. channels promoting c c artists producing coordinated campaign of videos to promote him and then of course the reaction the day after the protests where over 2000 people have been arrested from several provinces as well as the real lockdown of public space to prevent anything from happening really indicates that the regime and the large. demonstrations that the government organized to support sisi in which they distributed food packets to people and bus them in and there are reports that different different organizations and businesses were made were making their employees attend. all these things indicate that they took what was essentially protests of several 1000 people in the government puts it out of 100000000 and

they've taken that very seriously and they've responded very intensely to it and that suggests that the regime is very aware of the fragility of its popularity and that while these videos by muhammad ali my my my not ultimately be the spark that sets off something larger it does it still remains the case that there is a lot of timber in society there's a lot of anger there's a lot of frustration and something i something else may well be that spark and they're taking that quite seriously. pakistan's prime minister has used a speech at the un general assembly to deliver an extraordinary attack on india's crackdown in indian administered kashmir and on khan warned of a bloodbath in the disputed region last month and they revoked the semi as one of a status of customary territory under its control and in a speech earlier in the us prime minister made no mention of kashmir and all reports me united nations i think north of the many many don't know the full

economic and i think un general assembly was drawing to a close in new york when suddenly it burst grimly back into life pakistan's prime minister imran khan decried india's decision to revoke self rule in majority muslim populated indian administered kashmir it was part of a policy he said of hindu nationalism and ethnic cleansing what is going to happen when the curfew is lifted will be a bloodbath the people will come out then 100000 troops there they haven't come due has not in the mood he says he's done this do for the prosperity of the should be this is supposed to be for the development of these 900000 troops one of they're going to do when the when the time out they'll be a blood but in his speech accused india's prime minister narendra modi of fascism of pursuing an ideology of hate and racial purity drawn from hitler and mussolini

in the 1930 s. he said the un must intervene to avoid conflict between 2 nuclear neighbors this is a test for the united nations you are the one who guaranteed the people of kashmir the right of self-determination. they are suffering because of that and this is the time. this is the time not to appease like in 1939 appeasement took place this is the dime to take action and number one action must be that india must live in human curfew a short while prime minister modi had conspicuously avoided any mention of kashmir which india insists is an internal matter but there was a veiled reference to what he has previously called pakistan backed terrorism in the region almost there is give out the hand. we belong to a country that has given the world not war but good as a message of peace and that is the reason why our voice against terrorism to alert

the world about this evil brings was seriousness and outrage we believe that this is one of the biggest challenges not for any single country but for the entire world and humanity the lack of unanimity among us on the issue of terrorism against those very principles that are the basis of the creation of the u.n. and that is why for the sake of humanity i firmly believe that it's absolutely imperative that the world unites against terrorism was never. as both leaders spoke a block away from the u.n. building and t.-mo the protesters demanded the world take action 55 days of course feel no food no house no madison and they can't go out it's not here we here to protest we want to know the but let the word know what's happening there and nobody's doing anything. and on the ground in srinagar kashmiris

under strict security controls and with indian troops keeping watch made their voices god was both prime ministers modi and khan met separately with the president on the trump on the sidelines of the un general assembly this week but nothing has come of trump's offer to mediate between them and hence no sign of any real progress in avoiding further escalation over kashmir you're now al-jazeera at the un in new york. us media reports a president special envoy to ukraine has resigned as the controversy over his call with his ukraine and cons are part gather steam it comes as democrats in the house of representatives have issued a subpoena to the u.s. secretary of state i want my compared to how the over documents relating to contact with the crane in government. has more detail. democratic leaders are keeping. up the pressure on the white house with more calls for subpoenas and hearings next

week nancy pelosi reportedly wants to formally vote on impeaching u.s. president donald trump by the end of november this is as serious as it gets when it comes to protecting the constitution of the united states the oath of office that will take i think the president violated that oath phone call with ukraine in which he pushed for a ukrainian investigation of his political opponent while withholding u.s. military assistance pushed democrats to begin an impeachment inquiry earlier this week then thursday the public release of a whistleblower report claiming the white house tried to bury the calls records gave democrats the most powerful ammunition yet to see trump impeachment i think we've gotten to the point that if they're not going to do something for us what would they do something for on friday more than 300 former u.s. national security officials penned a letter expressing their grave concern they right.
