headquarters of the biggest businesses in the country are now being closed and surrounded by protesters. while most protest is insist they don't support violence some argue the current upheaval is a necessary evil. piniella says he listens to peaceful protests but what about those who have been demonstrating for more than 4 years but better pensions if those who started those protests had written a letter to the president instead of brushing the metro with the president listened no. while being called for a rare emergency meeting of chile's national security council opposition members and demonstrators accuse the president of trying to criminalize the protests while others lamented that he had not been so energetic about increasing penalties to curtail police brutality. you see in human al-jazeera santiago. the what has gone is

a lecture of media culture and society at the university of cambridge and he says president kenyatta's focus on punishment has failed among protest is a missed ration of sort of stamping it has found a problem he has found himself in a problem his talk at this spiral against chilean people the very file in the way if we remember the 1st days of this mobilization he declared war on people on the 2nd the 3rd day. started so since then he has never made a gesture in terms of talking or making a dialogue we need people and actually not offering a real answer a real political answer or staging a table of dialogue so he instead he kept going with this criminalization so there is a whole narrative in the way opinion has been developing his eye to to to would similar sation that is really close to that to a military solution so he's in a way he's cornered into this. profile into this perspective and it seems that

he doesn't we don't know he doesn't have the answer or the tools or he doesn't seem ple want to get out from this approach where everything falls into some sort of. raising the bar of punishment of criminalizing dissent or or increasing the prerogatives off intelligence or police officers. where plenty more ahead on news hour including helpless and terrified wife families of minus who were attacked and burkina faso for more violence class i'm dominic kane at the berlin wall running up the lengths people went to to escape the prison they felt this had put them in. is an effort to unify professional track and field athletes from around the world to just have a ball. and course from a multiple of them think ambo champion for athletes to unionize that we hear from christian taylor about his new initiative.

acting white house chief of staff met kemal rainey has been subpoenaed to testify at the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump the house intelligence committee wants him to appear on friday but it is possible the white house will exercise executive privilege and block the order that inquiries looking into whether president trump abused his power by withholding aid to ukraine to pressure the new government there and to investigate it has a political rival joe biden well the president's former national security adviser didn't show up at the inquiry john bolton who trump fired in september says he'll only appear if he's ordered by a federal court had to gallagher has more from washington d.c. . well not much surprise to the democrats i think that john bolton was a no show they did expect that to a certain extent and the democrats are really now focused on the next phase of

these in pietschmann proceedings and that will be public open hearings which begin next week they have 3 key witnesses including the former ambassador to ukraine and that really gives the democratic party a chance to show the american public what really happened here we've heard what these people have said in depositions now we will see it on live television across the nation that is an important opportunity for the democrats to show their impeachment proceedings do have some weight meanwhile president trump is in trouble for something else entirely different the trump foundation was found guilty today and fined $2000000.00 because essentially a judge said that the president was using his charitable foundation to further his own political career for instance using money from the foundation to settle legal claims using it to have a portrait painted that $2000000.00 fine wall go to an array of different charities and i think that story would be far bigger if not for these in pietschmann

proceedings which of course will start next week and everybody will be watching very very into a department official has accused trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani of helping to conduct what he called a campaign of lies against the then u.s. ambassador to ukraine george kent made the comments during his testimony at the inquiry the transcripts were released on thursday ken said senior colleagues told him to keep his head down on ukraine even though it was part of his portfolio now and autumn a senior official in the us administration has described president trump as volatile incompetent and unfit for the job that's according to excerpts from a new book published by the washington post that outlines claims trump made racist and massaging those comments in private the book says the president stumbles slurs gets confused and has trouble processing information the white house press secretary quote the author a coward and says the book is nothing more than lies. now the 3rd round of joint

military patrols between turkey and russia is getting underway near the syrian border with turkey the patrols a part of an agreement between. to remove kurdish fighters from an area he wants to establish as a safe zone while turkey says it plans to resettle as many as 2000000 syrian refugees in the area as go now to our correspondent he's joining us live from near the to syrian border and as we head into the 3rd round of patrols and how successful at the past 2 rounds been at clearing the area fighters. it is a bit the jones patrols. going to be a long way for both russia and turkey to go because it will have to patrol areas which are going about around obviously all the way to about aquille the border with iraq but then they will have to continue the patrols in the safe zone in places like around the been busy until they thought it is going to be an extremely

delicate task because russia says that all the what would you fighters have pulled out from those areas. or took it does not seem to be convinced that that did happen because they believe that's why it was you fighters are still operating in those areas so i think you stage it took them some time before they could establish with a level of certainty that the pullout has been completed the 2nd phase of the operation the turkish government is going to set up observation post in the safe so this question is sort of all the way to about here and i think those. those pows will be very crucial for to get to establish that the safe so is a diva that's right so you do it. and have him turkey says that they want to create the safe side and one of the reasons is to repatriate millions of syrians into this area but what has the operation now these joint patrols meant for the civilian population who was already there. there is still

a great sense of anxiety among the people who live in those areas just to give you an idea about what's happening in places like for example the os goes over you know he said there were concerns that the government was trying to move forward to take over some of the terror to that was visited taken over by the s.n.a. which is the main opposition group backed by turkey in those areas people us to concerned there might be renewed confrontations between the syrian opposition and between the syrian government they have other areas for example to buy and we've been beast of a fight where the turkish government is still insisting that the those areas the last year should not maintain and a presence whatsoever in that in the future of the as they're saying it's not part of the agreement of those urban centers turkey insets those are part of the deal in the doofuses so you're having loads of anxiety in those area about what might happen in the near future i should thank you for that for now that is with the

fire service and they're doing all they can to battle these blazes so if you have a slightly closer look and a bit of a different view this one just have a look at the smoke that is coming off these fires it gives you an idea 1st of all the direction of the winds the power and the consistency of these winds but also just the number of fires that are burning and just look at this mass of smoke that is obviously pushing off towards the shore so in terms of what is going to happen next was to go through saturday the winds yet again coming through the in terror the system is down his we've got these winds as you can see coming in this sort of westerly direction and that is what is blowing all that smoke off the coast this is a particular area that is really under threat that is where you just see that sort of aerial view showing all the smoke but only upside as we go through sunday that system with the rain will push further away tools east and so in actual fact the winds should die down there's no rain in the forecast but they shouldn't be as strong and that might help to help them fight these fires. as

a severe birth to safety in the australian state of new south wales authorities say they've received reports of people being trapped in their homes. we're turning to our top story now and claudia mo's a legislator and pro-democracy activists in hong kong and she's joining us live from them as more very good to have you with us on al-jazeera today we're hearing from hong kong police have said that they are going to investigate mr child's death how much does it his death inflame the tensions between protesters and police that we've seen over the last 5 months now. the that's the piece of news we heard today in hong kong about this young man's that death and it's going to in langley where the entire situation than the others were because the young and. the now well it's the crime scene everything and things weren't there that

death there that happened under the very very suspicious circumstances so we managed to plant 2 trays but not completely. that's where the 1st one was the police or the the inside that parking not where the 4 took place mind me well that and the police correct to say that today at the from what they said yesterday or the day before so what people now would call it the police lie and the 2nd violence of the fine young men who were trying to rescue people the ambulance people who were trying to help they were carrying me and being stopped by the police after. how important is it that police conduct a fair investigation a for them to say investigation given that complete lack of trust between

protesters and they said hong kong and do you think that they will do that. that people don't have any comfort and trust in the hong kong police force because of all the police brutality that's been rampant in our press photos and press scripts age and you would say why did the young man who got the targeted some. how sinister carpark well police seem to be. becoming some trigger happy and their arrests are only so arbitrary to the point that the home home people just do not respect in any way what the police would have to do or can do over this i think and something independent and independent death in question and most necessary but that seems i

mean pretty unlikely doesn't it we've heard from authorities in beijing who have said have maintained that the violence during these last 5 months have been on both sides and we're hearing now of their plans for a new national security laws in hong kong which would include things like limited online censure censorship and a further militarization of police. that's a very wrong approach in hong kong they just don't understand hong kong those people in beijing they think we're just any chinese mainland chinese city and we need to be here we just need to do what we're being told and that's the end of the story colonialists and that's wrong but like it or not hong kong people actually manage to learn about new class so that news will buy your clothing your lives and that. you know we talk about them so sup rage democracy human rights

movement look rule of law what's have you the harder they try to get on calm the further the city will bounce back and things will become simply uncontrollable urge him to think twice. more it is very good to have you put us on al-jazeera today thank you for your time that as claudio live in hong kong. political parties increasingly targeting what is online ahead of the upcoming british election and while the traditional media is tightly regulated some commentators say rules on social media content aren't fit for purpose that the barber looks at the digital dangers to democracy we have and i think a straightforward question to labour's bricks it spokes person and a prompt reply if you want to be you give you a good deal if they know that you're going to actively campaign against it well here's larry what most of you going to be doing what piers i have been talking to

the e.u. but now look at what the conservative party of prime minister boris johnson made of it in a twitter post actively campaign against. that misleading it it provoked anger and ridicule from some but the conservatives stood by their video does is actually right now what we are of concern about it's not the deep fakes it's what we will call it. fake so something that has been edited with a little bit of a video editing software doesn't have to be complicated but it's still changing the entire message after video and it is something that is performing where we were all on the line and has a tendency to go fibro. the labor party's now taken a well known image from boris johnson's 2016 bricks it campaign with a misleading claim about health spending on the side of a bus and twisted it to attack his new bricks it plan labor's opponents of attack very for making outlandish claims but they're not backing down either in the u.k.

political advertising on t.v. and radio is restricted to a very few tightly regulated slots for each party making the online arena story important twitter's decision to scrap political advertising can prevent misleading or downright fake content being shared meanwhile facebook has chosen not to block a misleading political post insisting it can't act as a censor since the 2016 bricks at referendum social media companies say they've got better at dealing with fake accounts and fake news but it took 3 spooked 2 years to show the world misleading referendum advertising like this different groups got different versions of each child's we don't know who got what or why i'm not kind of micro-targeting is going to be a big feature of this election campaign when you get a leaflet through your door by a political party it says on it it has to have by law

a name in an address on it to say who's responsible for that there's no such rule online and so when you see an online advert it's a lot harder for you to know who sent it to you and who's paying for it and those are really really important questions for transparency it's always the golden question how this actually swings election and really unknown how any form of support doesn't actually affects people's decisions to get out voting day but the worry here is that because it's very hard to scrutinise it could be having an impact that we are absolutely on the way so when britain elects a new parliament in a few weeks time one crucial factor could be the growing mountain of fake political content to the barber al jazeera london well let's get more on the u.k. election paul brennan is joining us live from london it's a few weeks away the bumpy start to the election campaign from both major parties. yes the election has a really caught fire yes and we were on the 3rd day of fishel campaigning and as

you heard in that game barber's piece that the conservative starts was hampered by the roué over the faking of stars interview with the breakfast television channel to be further labor's campaign hasn't really got off to a great start john mcdonald a shot of chancellor spoke on yesterday on thursday and he was talking about greater funding for public services but his message got lost somewhat in a row over whether labor was still had a problem with anti semitism now today friday all the main parties essentially move on to the national health service not really as a touchstone subject for the election here in the u.k. attention will move north of the border as we call it here in london up to scotland where the scottish national party launching their election campaign and they have a an eye catching proposal for a and a chest protection bill the theory behind it is that although health policy is

devolved to the scottish parliament the concern of the s.n.p. is that under a post brecht's its trade deal done by the london governments the n.h.s. and drugs policy and procurement and privatisation essentially of the of the n.h.s. could be possible and the scottish parliament would be unable to do anything about it what the s.n.p. are saying is that if we enshrined protections in law that would prevent that happening it's an interesting tactic by the s.n.p. who in the 2015 election were pretty much how it they lost a 3rd of the seats 2 years ago in the last general election after concentrating very much on the referendum independence referendum for scotland and their campaign for that so it's interesting to see them take a different tack and go mainly on public services to launch their campaign that said though boris johnson the prime minister is also launching health policies today he's been at a hospital in central england talking about a new n.h.s. visa which would enable. more overseas doctors and nurses to come more easily to

the u.k. even after bret's it by applying a kind of points based immigration system there's already proposals for a points based immigration system but this would be specific to staff who want to come into the national health service so all the main parties this today friday are focusing on the n.h.s. will be interesting to see which messages rise to the top which actually take hold and which grab the attention of the voters paula thank you for that for now that paul brennan live in london thank you. now brazil's top court has overturned a lot of acquiring convicted criminals to go to jail after losing their 1st appeal the court decided that a person can only be jailed after all of their appeals have been exhausted and the ruling means that for the president to louise and author nineveh silva and thousands of prisoners could be released nude ever sent to president april last year as part of a corruption investigation. facebook has revealed more details on how it plans to protect next year's u.s. election from foreign interference and misinformation measures include securing the

accounts of elected officials and making the ownership of political pages more obvious the company has been criticized for not doing enough to remove misleading political posts so now on saturday germans will mark 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall for generations of people it was the most obvious symbol of the ideological divide that spanned europe john mccain has been hearing the stories of some who attempted the perilous journey to freedom and others who stayed behind the iron curtain on a sunny day dagmar zoomed on likes to walk her dog on bare now or it's a simple pleasure she was denied for much of her adult life because this was where the berlin wall once stood guarded by soldiers with orders to shoot to kill to morrow and time runs off her manner in everyday life the wall played a role in that it was just there is dance before you if you're standing in front of

it you just had to accept it. august 1961 the height of the cold war when communist control of the east drove many thousands to flee west using the open border in berlin causing a brain drain the east felt could not continue. so they built the wall separating families and friends overnight and when the 1st bricks were laid here rows of houses were blocked off meaning those who wanted to get out had to jump from the upper windows onto the street in the west. but as the world became more solid soon that avenue of escape was blocked off and what became known as the death street divided the city and so people had to think much more creatively about how they could free communism. people like who bed holbein as a young man he swam across a guarded waterway to reach the west and then decided he wanted others to be free

to so he helped build a tunnel under the center of the city in all $57.00 people crawled through this space to freedom including his own mother it was a tremendous feeling taking part in possibly helping your relatives and friends come over but at the same time it was a strain because i had only just survived the border crossing myself and thought man if something happens to me here then it's twice as bad something did happen to fuck your heintz as a student he volunteered to help people flee the east bringing out dozens of refugees over several months using a car with diplomatic plates and adapted to allow people to hide from view but then one day he was caught they had all the left saying he had the diplomat they had which they confronted me to. their healthy escapees who didn't make it. they had a car i mean what else is there to learn. in the end the 2 german governments

agreed a prisoner swaps of spent less than a year in custody as time wore on most people grew used to the ugly gray barrier that divided the city but then in november 1989 came the moment many thought might never happen a wave of peaceful protests swept through the city and because the soviet government would not help the armed guard stood powerless as people partied on the wall and then finally tore it down. very little of what the east german government called the anti fascist protection barriers still remains many berliners are too young to know 1st hand what it was like to live in a divided city for those like dagmar who do saturday will be a poignant day dominic kane al-jazeera at the berlin wall memorial. and our diplomatic editor james bennett has been speaking to germany's ambassador to the united nations about what lessons can be learnt. one of the few places around the

world where you could still find a section of the berlin wall is here on the other side of the atlantic in the u.n. garden here it is and here to discuss it with me is germany's ambassador to the united nations christophe. can i 1st on bus drive member where i was 30 years ago a young radio reporter in a london newsroom told to get to burn as fast as possible but where were you what are your memories of that day of course this is one of the days you're never forget in life the 9th of november i was working in the foreign ministry in bonn you remember there was a german capital i was working in the foreign ministry and then i came home early in the evening and my wife told me to watch television something was happening so and then for hours i was glued to the television set we saw the press conference there was given east berlin where all of a sudden became clear that the regime in east berlin was ready to open the wall so

then you saw then how the people who were actually walking through the wall were standing on the wall and it's the same time in bonn the session of the in the stock was interrupted and the members of the bundestag got up and very spontaneously sang the german national anthem so it's a it's a day you don't forget 30 years on germany's now on the u.n. security council what did that moment mean for germany and what lessons are there for the world using 1st of all again the reunification was a very special very happy occasion for germany but when you look back it was only possible because of international cooperation we would have not have had this peaceful revolution succeed if it hadn't been for the allies for for the european union for the friends of germany who had so much trust in germany that

they said ok. when you work together. here. security council one of the. chief. yeah. there is an unusual one.
