had a dramatic impact on afghanistan's presidential election the estimated voter turnout was less than 25 percent of saturday's vote there were nearly 70 attacks across the country at least 5 people were killed and hundreds of others injured but it's in the u.s. response to those attacks that has angered many afghans tell me both the reports. show the u.s. retaliation for the taliban's election day attacks was swift but according to locals in gaffney province a bomb from an american drone attack killed 6 men and injured 2 others. i don't think they were all civilians 5 of them were killed on the spot and the 6th one was told the hospital where he died one is my son and the other one is my brother amongst them that. on sunday angry locals protested by carrying the bodies of the men to the governor's house in the provincial capital. they say the victims were not taliban fighters. never you know these 5 civilians were killed intentionally in

cheating more difficult but not impossible especially in the rural areas. the international community wants a smooth post-election process that is seen as essential to launch a new peace momentum if peace is very important. will hopefully provide the foundation. to move the peace process. that's very important that depends on what the taliban does next but even though we carried out attacks saturday they were not as big as feared and that could be taken as a positive sign taliban are still in a position to talk and they didn't want to launch hevia tax to block. toward the destination democracy is important but for many afghans peace is what they really want is the only way they lives can be substantially improved. al-jazeera. plenty more still ahead of the news hour including tens of thousands turned out on

the streets of moscow to protest the jailing of opposition activists 4 years since a 1000000 was signed we look at one of the secretive armed groups refusing to join the peace accord while lewis hamilton is all smiles at the russian grand prix it will have the details in sport. opposition protesters have been back on the streets of the russian capital not only with more now from our london broadcast center merrier. thank you sami that's right around 20000 people took part in those demonstrations in support of activists who have been jailed the protests were called by opposition leaders to demand the release of those detained rallies which took place in july and august several activists have been sentenced to up to 4 years in prison being prosecuted for

crimes like violence against police offices. lawson has more now from the rally. quite a massive support here for people who have been detained during recent rally so here in moscow some people even have been sentenced up to 3 to 4 years just for a time the un sanctions rallies others have been accused of using violence against the police in part out of people have been saying are trumped up charges most of the opposition figures who also were indeed tension because of local elections they were not allowed to run in these elections these protests thought of most of the candidates were also beaten down here now and also asking for support rushing to government to let these activists out of prison or people like a 23 year old used in off with a young actor with sas who just happened to be. in the same location as a rally didn't even have any intention to join the rally that's now been sentenced

to 3 and a half years in prison a lot of people were angry about this and not only about his but also a 21 year old student was facing many years in prison who now the government calls for extremism charges not only people from the opposition but also people within the government circles have been very upset and angry about these arrests. even have come out open letters have been signed by doctors scientists and people from all kinds of professions stressing the government to let these people go. well now at least one person has died after a fire broke out in an overcrowded migrant camp on the greek island of les bass several fires were lit by protesting refugees and migrants at the morea camp who were demanding to be transferred to mainland greece and they also clashed with police during the course of that mori account currently houses around $12000.00

people but it was built for only $3000.00 so resources there extremely stretched when our 1st projections have been released for austria snap election and the formally to sebastian kurtz looks set to return to power exit polls showed his conservative people's party in the lead with 37 percent the center left social democrats headed by pamela randy wagoner trail behind on 21.9 percent the far right freedom party is predicted to lose votes in this election taking just 16 percent and that does appear to be some good news for the greens party they've gained 14 percent of the vote is enough to get back into parliament or dominate cain joins us live now from vienna on the exit poll suggesting here that the party of sebastian kurtz of one. this was an election that sebastian could said he didn't warm to 1st that was an election he said his country didn't need and yet in the end it looks like

propelling him back into power and all that despite the fact that parliament back in may said it had no confidence in him well now this is how he says this election result is a victory for him. if you are in the reason for it's a huge show of confidence it's a big responsibility and we're humbly and respectfully accepting that show of confidence i promise we will do our best to do this result justice to do the best work we can for our wonderful austria thank you very much for this beautiful moment . and although it already the conversation has started about possible coalition partners and the greens party demanding they say radical change from kurtz if they are to consider a partnership like this. yes that's right coalition is where it where the debate will shift to now clearly mr

courts and his people's party have the lion's share of the votes in this election they'll have the lion's share of the seats in parliament and they'll expect the lion's share of seats in government but who with they realistically it's very unlikely that mr courts will try and turn back to the far right freedom party with whom he had been in government because clearly that party has been repudiated by the voters in this election it's unlikely that he would go to the social democrats from a kind of grand coalition rather like there is in germany at the moment it's unlikely that he would do that because the personalities in that other party and he really don't get on so the only other real option is with the green party now the green party might consider going into coalition with mr kurtz the sticking area the stumbling block as it would be over immigration because mr kurtz is very clear the right to a trend in immigration policy in this country that he's effectively been responsible

for for some time now well that's really at odds with the sort of social agenda that the green party has so while this is a moment of victory for him right now there may be weeks ahead in which he has to try to as it were square a circle if he's going to have this coalition with the green party thank you very much telling came with the latest from vienna. well here persons prime minister bar's johnson is under increasing pressure he says conservative party needs for its annual conference in manchester thousands of protesters welcomed johnson to the city demanding his resignation of abraxas but jones is also facing a police investigation of allegations of misconduct during his time as london mayor lawrence lee reports now from manchester. the prime minister might say he and the public once again breaks it down but there are plenty of people who disagree entirely on the opening day of this conservative party conference thousands turned

out in the heavy rain to demonstrate their anger against course chills. i say gender is not listening. actually there's also no. doubt that you don't represent us and we just want to get johnson has a strategy now of saying bracks is a matter of the people versus parliament with m.p.'s of blocking the will of the people to deliver bricks it's trouble is that argument doesn't really work in manchester and summarised is quite a controversial choice for the conservatives or try to hold that conference in manchester for 5 days in the city their own labor people here don't like the conservatives they don't like boris johnson and don't really like bricks is all it was johnson is trying to keep a grip on the agenda visiting the hospital to publicize a policy of putting more money into health care but what he calls or won't explain is how he will ensure the u.k. leaves the e.u. at the end of october while simultaneously abating a law passed in parliament says he's not allowed to without an agreement with what

we are going to do is work very hard to get a deal and then. if we can't we will make sure we come out on october 31st but probably better if i. focus on getting the deal rather than discussing the hypothesis of what happens if we if we can't it isn't only the protesters who are on the move in the coming days while the conference is sitting opposition m.p.'s are likely to finalize plans to bring johnson down in a vote of confidence looking like he's in charge is no easy task for this prime minister laurence lee al-jazeera interest. well matthew goodwin a professor of politics university of kent was speaking to us he said that johnson's bright strategy has been reshaping the conservative party. he's lost a significant number of his own m.p.'s who have felt unhappy with his aggressive

strategy and also his language in the house of commons but at the same time he is going to speak to a conservative party that is broadly united in wanting to deliver praxedis quickly as possible and his strategy or so which is now. reflected in the slogan get rex it done is going to be the focus overwhelmingly this week on keeping those conservative members onside the vast majority of conservative votes of and the overwhelming majority of conservative members are pro brett say but of course what for us johnson is really doing by doubling down on this for exit strategy is he is reshaping the conservative party rex it is not only reach shaping britain's relationship with europe it is also making the conservative party a little bit more pro bracks and what does that mean bar stance and is attracting more working class voters and he's attracting more voters in the north of england

and traditionally labor areas and so he's losing some of the more middle class program main voters in the south and fundamentally i would argue he is changing the dynamic of the conservative party electorate well. now let's get back to. thanks it's been almost 4 years since the miramar government an ethnic rebel group signed the nationwide cease fire agreement but there's still no sign of lasting peace some groups are refusing to sign the document including what's regarded as east asia is largest non-state army it controls an isolated region on the borders with china and thailand why you hate takes a rare look at why our state. in the far east of me and is a defacto independent territory it's run by the country's largest rebel army which unilaterally declared it a state it's largely cut off from the outside world in particular the rest of me

and they're human right now why is still a wild frontier people who live here have id cut only for the state we can travel out of here. the united states army controls 2 areas on the borders with thailand and china the state is run under a one party communist system it's heavily reliant on chinese support in the form of trade investment and in the near future thanks to a new casino possibly tourism. when i 1st moved here there was only jungle everywhere but now it's more developed in the past it was very poor and 5 behind but it's getting better. there was signed a bilateral ceasefire deal with the me and my army in 1909 and haven't been directly involved in any significant fighting since the largely left to run their own affairs and still maintain a well organized and well resourced fighting force of up to $30000.00 now about having under pressure to join the governments nationwide cease fire agreement which

like many other ethnic armies are refusing to do they say they're not prepared to meet one of the key conditions of that deal which is for this soldiers to lay down their weapons and join the me and my military the why are also fiercely protective of their income streams like jade mining and the illegal wildlife trade many products like tiger and beer teeth are sold openly in the state capital punk come the united states army is also thought to be one of the region's largest manufacturers of illegal drugs a business that says it's no longer in but there are many who believe those who run this area are still stuck in the past and until they open up life will not improve for you i'm in pretty bad here i want want to continue to develop i want to see more people move through here which will improve trade in business in the past 2 or 3 years it's been very bad i can make a so much. state serves as a reminder of how fragmented me and mar is while the syria may be at peace for now

it's the people that continue to pay the price of civil war through isolation and a lack of developments wayne hay al jazeera. well let's get an update from the world the latics championships in cancer peter stamets is in our sports studio stadium in doha peter. yes i mean the action is underway here on day 3 with 5 titles up for grabs on sunday the women semifinals and final take place in the 100 meters shelley and fraser price looking for a 4th gold in the sea event christian coleman has pulled out of the 200 meters the day after his success in the 100 meters we'll have reaction to that. and the men's triple jump final gets underway shortly with christian taylor looking to defend his title and we'll also have action from the russian grand prix on the rugby world cup join us in about 20 minutes. thanks so much well still ahead on al-jazeera both

the governing center right coalition collapsed following a corruption scandal final results are due on october the 16th. u.s. president donald trump has lashed out at an ongoing impeachment inquiry against him trump called the proceedings brought by house democrats the single greatest scam in american politics the president is allegedly by a whistle bird to have pressured ukraine's leader for the door mirrors that end skate to investigate his political rival joe biden and the gallagher joins us live now from washington d.c. so it's the day for getting your message out on the sunday talk shows what is the message coming out of the administration. well let's divide this into republicans and democrats republicans are saying nothing here was wrong by saying that president trump was duty bound to those of their woods to ask the ukrainians to

look into the business activities of hunter biden the son of former vice president joe biden but that say the democrats is a clear break with the oath of office of the president they say the words the president used to do me a favor though clearly peachey will and they're continuing with their proceedings at a fairly rapid rate let's listen to adam schiff who is the chairman of the house intelligence committee sometimes the coverup is the easier crime to prove but here yes the cover up is very serious but i don't want to lose sight of that fundamental breach of the president's office the duty to defend our country our constitution and here the president is once again not just inviting but coercing a foreign nation to get involved to try to help him and yet another presidential election so to me that's the most serious set of offenses i mean when this story 1st broke it seemed like republicans were in a bit of shock is the party line now coming together. yeah they're definitely

coalescing behind their own bottled president you know you had one of his close advisors this morning that was basically saying this is an inside political hit job even though we don't know the identity of the whistle blower and the acting director of national intelligence said that they the whistleblower followed the letter of the law and that this was something that was credible and needed to be looked into clearly this is not an effect from his base they've already raised $50000000.00 since this happened but it is a serious threat to his presidency and these are serious accusations that the transcripts are there and the democrats say the whistle blower who's report began this entire thing may be appearing in the next few days. thanks for that let's continue the discussion with bill schneider a is a political analyst and public policy professor at george mason university joins us now from washington d.c.

good to have you with us so how do you see this gandel now that we've hit the think the 1st weekend well where it's a clear danger to the country danger to the president the country is intensely polarized you have very strong opinions on both sides and so far there's been a modest movement in the polls should president trump be impeached the number who say yes has been going up slowly it hasn't quite reached 50 percent yet but that's mostly because democrats have rallied to the cause of impeachment we haven't seen any movement at all among republicans the president's own party and unless and until that happens we're not likely to see a big breakthrough in this trial it seems like democrats are counting on time do you think time will deliver more republicans to the coals. well it depends on what comes out in the hearings and what the inspector general's already

has the by what the whistleblower actually says right now there's a surprising thing going on a lot of americans most americans do not approve of president trump's performance in office but at the same time they don't want to seem impeached now why is that it's a strange thing why is that happening i think in part because they realize that an impeachment will just absorb all the energy in the political system and it will distract from all other issues including the 2020 presidential campaign no one is going to pay a lot of attention to the democrats or to the campaign because they'll be totally. totally interested in the impeachment story that's the real problem. how potentially explosive could further details be especially since it's emerged that there were other coals that were not so we say stored in the usual place one with boots and one with the crown prince of saudi arabia. well that rear that's

sounds like a cover up and that is usually more serious than the crime but at the moment most americans aren't quite clear about the seriousness of the crime that the president is accused to have committed that information is going to come out especially after we hear from the whistleblower the republicans are making 2 main arguments one is there's no proof of a quid pro quo that the president as is asking the president of ukraine to do something on his behalf politically and in return the president will give him something a lot of people suspect that that's military aid but that has not been proved yet that's one big issue overhanging this entire case and it could be the decisive issue how just how united is republican sentiment right now to rally behind donald trump. pretty strong republican party is

really he owns the republican party many members of congress and senators who might be inclined to doubt the president and fail to support him they know that they were republicans out there and the electorate are strongly behind president trump and many of them would face a primary challenge from the right if they come if they distance themselves from president we saw an example of that this week when a congressman from the state of nevada which is a swing state indicated that he might be willing to support the impeachment inquiry the 1st republican to peel off and he immediately had to take it back and to say no he doesn't he just wants to see what the inquiry. comes up with so every republican is really very nervous about whether the republican front is going to hold strong or i will leave it there for now thanks so much bill schneider. says it shot down a drone on the border with syria after it repeatedly violated its airspace 2

wrenshaw rain proving too much for some buildings now destroyed some say what is the most the biggest problem here is that day by day the water level is rising the water has entered houses as you can see there is. the powerful weather system drenched the state for more than 24 hours affecting close 260-0000 people schools were closed down and thousands of displaced families have been moved to relay for camps it's not knowing how long they'll be allowed to stay. and as the rain came down the death toll went up dozens have drowned while others were killed as buildings collapsed relief efforts are under way with authorities trying to drain flood waters. don't look down but already we're sitting up temporary and permanent pumps there's a problem with water logging at 3 or 4 locations the water is being removed by cutting the road and creating channels. flooding isn't uncommon in these areas but

the timing is india's monsoon season normally retreats at the start of september intense rainfall in many parts of the country has triggered floods that have swamped huge areas 11 people were killed when flash floods hit western india on thursday. the heavy rain can be said to be unprecedented because of this a large amount of water into low lying areas and caused a lot of damage there is the possibility that some people were swept away. as the cleanup continues many are trying to get on with daily life nicola gage al jazeera police in nigeria trying to find the families of the hundreds of men and boys who were released from a building where they had been chained and abused as many as $400.00 captives some as young as 6 were released during a raid in the city of kaduna they were supposed to be enrolled in a religious school several of them had been beaten or sexually assaulted 7 people
