i think it's worth pointing out is you know the demonstrators i saw on on sunday weren't all local hong kong chinese there were people although their faces were concealed it was possible to make out western faces as well as those of south asians which is a an indication that you know on the ground there that the base for this movement may be broader than we imagine. rightly though there were not only carrying flags from the reports we're hearing adrian some at least also carrying and throwing petrol bombs how is this sort of level of violence impacting public sentiment. here you're at street right there were more petrol bombs thrown on sunday once more the targets were train stations and train stations are seen to have been. telling very much the government line people are angry that the train stations are closing down so early because in effect what we have now in hong kong is is an unofficial

curfew no trains are operating after 10 pm at night but yes the violence is becoming more potent in many senses compared to 3 months ago much more intense than it was say back in june and july and you know you worry you know if if you know the petrol bombs don't work at this level of violence isn't working then what's next because clearly these protesters believe the peaceful approach doesn't work but if this approach isn't working then you know what's the next level. it is a wiring thought thanks so much even since been there in the think of it no doubt will come back to you later but for now i don't brown there from hong kong. i. the u.k. has asked the e.u. for a 3 month break xit extension prime minister barak's johnson lost a crucial vote in parliament on saturday forcing him to send a letter requesting a delay however he didn't sign it and he also included another document saying an

extension would be a mistake the u.k. was due to leave on the 31st of october. in parliament that hundreds of thousands of people marched through london to demand a 2nd referendum it was the 4th rally of its kind since. the european union in 2016. it's fair to say demonstrators at the people's vote march don't like bricks it much taxes. to speak. what. they turned out in their hundreds of thousands in london hoping m.p.'s voting on boris johnson's bracks it deal in parliament would hear them. because we don't

want to people's vote is appalling so no deal is yes yes the only thing you like is right i want to go back to the people and if the people in that. we still want to leave you'd be happy with that would you much happier but of course most the 2nd referendum would overturn this particularly if they leave a vote could be split between boris johnson's deal and no deal why you hear well i'm french so. i'm raising my children have paid my taxes. and i'm treated like a 2nd class citizen for a deal that's been a wreck the economy and the future of my children. but m.p.'s didn't reject boris johnson's deal and they haven't given the country a 2nd referendum. all they have done is pass an amendment which requires boris

johnson to request a break deadline extension of 3 days to the right $300.00. $22.00 the news to the left $306.00 so the eyes have it the eyes have it unlocked. and he breaks it demonstrators are taking this as a battle victory though even if they fear they are losing the war. all the many thousands of people who have marched in london on saturday know that what parliament has just done does not stop rex's but what it does crucially is get them more time and more time means a better chance still a slim on though they can achieve their aim a 2nd referendum. al-jazeera london. or let's go live now to paul brennan in london for the latest on this and wonder paul how the public is waking up and digesting the 2 letters from the prime minister quite an unusual

political maneuver. well 3 documents a kind of $22.00 letters one a photocopy plus a covering letter plus the the actual substantive lots of the boris johnson himself wrote and signed to donald tusk the president of the european council yes i mean it had been rumored for over a fortnight now that donald sorry not donald tusk that boris johnson would attempt to circumvent the intention of the ben act to send a letter asking for an extension would try to circumvent the effect of that act by sending a 2nd letter and number 10 had been paying its cards very close to its chest but that's exactly what they did late on saturday night they effectively photocopied the letter that had been set out word for word in that ben act which passed the legislation demanding that boris johnson ask the european union for an extension to

the british deadline but they attached to that photocopy a letter from the a senior civil servant saying that look this letter is just being sent to you because we have to by law and then let the main letter written by boris johnson and signed by boris johnson actually said look we i still think it's a very bad idea if you grant us next tension and essentially he was trying to dissuade the european union from granting that extension so as far as the government is concerned despite the requirement to send a letter asking for an extension and despite the vote in the on the super saturday that happened here yesterday as far as they're concerned it's all steam ahead for departure from the european union on october 31st trusting times to say the least thanks so much. he joins us now from brussels how is the e.u. doing with all this all these letters. well

sammy i think that you can summarize it as they are sticking to the facts which is that they have received a request for an extension that's exactly what donald tusk the head of the european council tweeted on saturday now in the last couple of hours michel barnier the e.u.'s chief negotiator has been meeting with the 27. he called it a normal meeting and he said it was let me tell you his words exactly a very short a normal meeting to launch the next steps of the e.u. ratification of the agreement their messages we have the letter we might have had 2 other letters but we're sticking to the facts we've been asked to we've been asked for an extension of 3 months and now we're going to ponder our response hearing from the you that it could take several days to formulate a response about the ratification of the deal where you can be sure that they're

not going to hurry in the european parliament to do anything their brakes at steering group meets on monday but they are still waiting to hear what will happen in westminster lots of people really believe that the best way to proceed is to push the boris johnson into trying to get this deal passed again one of the one of chancellor merkel of germany is key allies her economy minister has been saying in the last couple of hours that he wants boris johnson to try and reach across party. compromise but he says he wouldn't mind an extension of several weeks i think that goes to the crux of the matter chancellor merkel herself has told colleagues that if it comes down to it to avoid a no deal bracks at the end of this month it will be inevitable that they will grant an extension but what they really don't want to do right now is say yes you can have more time they really want that deal to get passed so i think it will be quite some time before you'll see any actual movement from brussels they're still

waiting to see what happens in westminster at the beginning of the coming week right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including. emergency in chile capital and now a curfew to have the latest from santiago what's called demonstrators so work. we did the mecca right now in the economy cabin. and how to be jet lag is the 1st ever direct flight from new york to australia pushes the limits of insurance. and it's called find out which baseball team is headed for the world series will be here with that story you know they finish. now turkey says one of its soldiers has been killed in northern syria says this

happened during a reconnaissance mission and comes despite a truce in the area turkey's president has vowed to press on with this offensive in northern syria and crush kurdish forces if they don't withdrawal from a proposed safe zone under a deal brokered with the u.s. kurdish fighters have to leave an area 32 kilometers deep into syria. meanwhile the u.s. says it's moving all of its forces withdrawn from northern syria into iraq to prevent a resurgence of iso stratford has the latest from the. east and. the white a cease fire certainly seems to be holding we're getting reports of what's described as sporadic gunfire. in certain places most most notably that town of russell i mean we can't confirm whether in fact these are crashes or indeed celebrate tree fall or in fact munitions being destroyed which is very much part of this u.s.

brokered agreement that says that kurdish forces must move back out of that security zone that proof proposed turkish security zone 444 kilometers wide along the border around 30 kilometers deep i think what's notable though is it's fair to say that this pullback by kurdish will seize is exceedingly slow and they do not seem to be pulling back from areas all the areas that the turkish military forces want them to let's not forget that the initial announcement to withdraw all u.s. forces for mold in syria was made by president trump in december 2018 there was a delay and then we saw on october the 7th this announcement by president trump that some forces some u.s. soldiers should withdraw from that area close to the border it was literally

a couple of days later that we saw this turkish military offensive start on the kurds accused the u.s. of stabbing them in the back let's also not forget that those forces the kurds were in the words of the u.s. led coalition highly successful in the battle against eisel in recent years but certainly it seems now that the u.s. are going ahead with pulling out what is believed to be just under a 1000 u.s. troops and they have a listen to what the u.s. defense secretary has to say about that. i had a discussion last week with my french counterpart and i had a conversation with the nato secretary general we both agreed on the importance of continuing the defeat isis campaign and we agreed to have a meeting on it this week in brussels and so i think that's important we plan on to continue that certainly will be discussed the military level is what does the next

phase of the counter isis campaign look like and and i know that's a top concern of mine 2nd only to protection of our forces coming out of syria but we've got to work for those details and that's again a principal reason why i'll be meeting with our allies and partners this week. correctly is a defense analyst stand head of global risk the geneva center for security policy he joins us via skype from geneva now good to have you with us so basically what we're seeing here is this going to develop into a new path or a intensified rather new path where the u.s. conducts operations inside syria but from iraq well you know. for some dropped at the pentagon did not plan about it and therefore sometimes they would refer to u.s. forces form or syria not from iraq and what have we have witnessed over the last

week were some isis militants managed to escape already some of this. prisoner's camp and the reason a clear danger here that isis could wish for and therefore it's wise actually to reposition troops in iraq to kind of maintain some kind of money touring about what is going on in syria so ultimately it seems like what's being said here is that the end result perhaps of the u.s. withdrawal from syria is increased impacts and instability on iraq. well a bit of how you look at that it is true that if more troops american troops are being stationed in iraq forster already. and stable debate we've seen in iraq if we have seen we've latest riots also due to

the strong presence of iran in the can treat disease could lead indeed to instability within the can tree on the other hand the americans and the international community has no interest in seeing isis reform rebuilt and maybe move into a new phase that could be as deadly as the previous phase so is the u.s. influence in the middle east waning or repositioning. well it depends where you right now the number of troops in the middle east u.s. troops and i mean is middle east has not decree that actually in some part it has increased but the signal that has being sent to the international community is that the united states has become more isolationist and other actors are stepping in iran obviously. russia and we've seen this week that. president putin has

made some visits in saudi arabia the u.a.e. death shows that the cards into middle east are now changing and the situation on the ground is accordingly also a challenging and the role of the u.s. is. being chance you know wait it out it wants to. prison term wants really to force u.s. national interest and wants something in return and wants allies and other pantries to actually pay a heavy your price and burden of. regulating instability in the middle east or good to get your thoughts on that saying someone is still marketing welcome. in a few moments we'll have all the weather with rob but still ahead on al-jazeera why refugee women enjoy all the love had to learn to be plumbers. flying the flag fall john dean is president but will the show support be repeated at the ballot box and

them the ruling alliance is refusing their demands for the government to resign but we understand it's not the prime minister saad know heidi is holding talks with ministers try to try out a new budget that will not require imposing taxes on the people but for people here they just have lost faith in what we are seeing really is unprecedented yes in the past there have been protests themselves there have been chants calling for the downfall of the regime accusing politicians and me about the mismanagement but what is different now is that political parties are being criticized it within their traditional strongholds you mentioned tripoli this is a mainly sunny city and yes we have the talk that because this is a deeply divided country sects are divided there's a political divide in tripoli people have started taking down posters of the politicians like visit me at the park around the former prime ministers the post

of plans to increase ticket prices president sebastian pinera down on the ferry rises but i get continues the high cost of living. voters in bolivia choosing their next president on sunday after 14 years in power even more has a fight on his hands to get reelected his rival is the former interim president who is attracting support by condemning what he calls. the tell real leadership. has more. i passed years elections were a walk in the park for ever more rallies libya's 1st indigenous president but this time around he's pulled things around comfortably close. his campaign slogan is a secure future and the socialist policies of always managed to keep the economy growing one of the highest rates in latin america. poverty through social programs . he says if reelected plans to keep on doing the young people.

we would like to give 5 more years of experience to bolivia so that it continues to grow economically to finish our great project plans like construction of roads and airports. but for the 1st time in a while there's a credible challenger carlos messer film a journalist. prominent intellectual and he's attacking moralists his achilles' heel he's questionable commitment to democracy. in the last 13 years almost 14 there's too much it's too much injustice too much corruption and too much authoritarianism that's leading his towards a dictatorship. it all started with moralist his latest reelection bid after 3 terms in power he needed to change the constitution to run again. he called a referendum to let the people decide now really they said no then he did it anyway

. and then outraged many and although there are 8 opposition candidates mrs become the figurehead for the discontent but analysts say the former interim president bolivia's loss leader before morale is this if you policies of his own. it was that they feel that they were doing for him even though he hasn't done enough it's a protest vote not a convinced vote he doesn't have a political party he hasn't done a campaign if he showed more kind of time he wouldn't be 8 points down he'd be neck and neck and maybe even beating it will morales a moralist does seem more vulnerable than ever before environmentalist say the recent violence which burnt down 5000000 hectares of forest helped along by his government's allowance of slash and burn. allegations of corruption have also tainted his movement to socialism party but so far there's only one favorite ever more rallies is still the from want to hear and that's because of his handling of the economy which has consistently grown and poverty which has been significantly

cut that's why a lot of people still support him but they're all question marks about his approach to democracy itself and votes where his rivals are gaining ground. sunday's vote may not be enough to see more of his home if the latest polls are right this could be close enough to go to a 2nd round. john heilemann. let pass. also job as argentina's president. he's hoping to defy opinion polls and when next week's election against. him heavily in the primaries. there's been a huge show of support for. stories about. the air it was called the 1000000 march hundreds of thousands of people gathering in the center of one of scientists to sing yes we can. and show their support for

argentina's precedent. that. i have terror if parent is and comes back we are here to defend the republic because if the others come back they will destroy everything the others are opposition leader albert the for a man this and former president cristina fernandez the kershner from the peronist party. presidential elections are one week away and everything shows that what is called the phantom menace for them on this formula will wind. up coming right back even though it's been. evaluated. by. the it. was. in august the primary election results show that there was at least a 15 point difference between for manderson machree some say the difference could be bigger next time but markey believes they can turn the results around january

much over we have seen their attitude in previous governments of coercion rests with arrogance with the way they have of conceiving power that so many of us reject enough of that. came from venezuela 2 years ago he says he's afraid that if cristina kirchner comes back argentina will follow the steps of venezuela with a populist government that he says could be. increasingly authoritarian regardless of just going there and i'm here to support argentina because this is a wonderful country and i don't want it to end up like us argentina is in the middle of a new economic crisis and that's the main reason could lose next week but on saturday there were millions who believed his still has a chance. when a site is jordan has one of the highest levels of water scarcity in the world a warming planet and growing population only making the problem worse there's
