probably a bright red in the sunny day but the rain hits you on sunday. hello i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up. brazil's former president do that to silver is released from prison on a judge's orders following a supremes court ruling. the clashes in basra and baghdad despite a call for calm by iraq's top cleric 23 people are reported to have died since

sunday. the death of a student who fell from a car park during a rally fuels anger on the streets of hong kong. and australian firefighters are saying they are in uncharted territory as they struggle to contain bush fires raging across 2 states. and i'm we are hearty in doha with your sports one of the 2 men who tried to attack arsenal footballers method ozil and club the knock if intends to 10 years in jail. we begin the news hour in brazil where the former president always amassed that has just been released from prison a judge ordered his release on friday after the supremes course overturned a rule which required criminals to go to jail after losing their 1st appeal is

among several 1000 convicted criminals they now have the right to remain for. free until they've exhausted their appeal options remember that was sentenced to almost 13 years in jail earlier this year on corruption charges he denies the allegations he has always said they are politically motivated let's bring in our latin america editor lucien newman who is following the story from the capital santiago and just seeing images there of lula surrounded by his supporters there cheering for him he was of course addressing the crowds what he tell us about the reaction there to his release from prison. hello mary well this is it's a very very big news indeed in brazil lula da silva is the bigger than life politician who absolutely no one in that country in different and those who support him had been appealing and asking and protesting and petitioning for him to be

released for ever since he was put behind bars in april of last year and now he is no longer in prison and he came out looking stream really serious at 1st then eventually began to smile as thousands or at least hundreds of supporters surrounded in chanting leave it to leave it which means is free and then he put his fist in the air a character gesture of defiance by live at the scene of a home as you say has always insisted on his innocence very interesting lee said to model now at the justice minister who was the chief prosecutor who was instrumental in seeing that he was convicted was was very quick in ass really saying that the supreme court ruling that he should be freed should be respected and that ruler should be released immediately so that was a rather interesting twist coming from one of the people that do the scenes as one

of his worst enemies maryam as you saying he is this larger than life figure very much and i call on in the country he divides opinion in brazil i know of a politician it's not likely that he's going to sit quietly now is that what might we expect from him perhaps in the coming days. this exactly when now he cannot run for office as things are now his conviction would have to be overturned for that to happen but now that he is free he will clearly be playing playing a key role as a leader of the opposition a role that had been pretty much left empty since he was put in prison he was surrounded or one of the people who was by his side when he was released. the danda had that he was the person who ran instead of lula for the presidency at the end of last year but now he will he is expected to take the lead this is going to mean that he will be a thorn in the side of current president the current conservative president paulson out of and will be probably hearing from mr lula at the scene of

a lot in the next you mean weeks and days all right thank you very much our last america and it's a nice scene human following a story for us there from santiago well let's get more on this now then was with gustavo to barrow a founder of the brazilian report which is an online magazine he joins us via skype from sao paolo 1st of all if you can put this decision which feels rather sudden in some context for us what does the ruling today mean for lula to sell the easy and will he remain a free man. hello thanks for having me in brazil we have several. of the justice system a lot of the fed still have several pirouettes until yesterday the supreme court's understanding was that after losing the 1st of all you could go to jail you now what the defendant must lose all appeals that is

a process that could take years in some cases it takes decades so 'd. we will be free for the foreseeable future he has several other criminal cases against him but . i would expect lula to go back to prison. if the likes covered years would say and we're watching him now address crowds of supporters the people surrounding really listening to him intently he has a great deal of influence in the country even though he won't be able to run for office he is still very much a force to be reckoned with. exactly. brazil's most popular a hated politician at the same time and i think like lucy has said. now all the left the brazilian left to have someone to rally around however it doesn't mean

that this is necessarily bad news for the left for the right and for the far right because the same way the movement is decided iraq which the left believe always around he's also the far right's favorite boogie man. who he actually ascended to the presidency thanks to presenting himself as the anti lula so with rule out of the picture he lost the use of number what and only now with a little of back to the political game that could. help most of now do rally his troops galvanize his supporters it's interesting is i actually this could go both ways because we've saying we're saying that luna to silver is released from prison could be very much a rallying cry to his supporters but actually it could just reinforce support for the right as well for jr both sonera he could use this to his political advantage.

exactly bosso saudis are actually a politician who thrives in conflict. with dollars that's how he goes to small attacks that's how he has always done politics through through 30 years of congress and the world here in the presidency we have to choose look at his presidency so far because the opposition has been really the existence of the workers florida which is lula story has been the role of it in congress all of the crisis generated this year were created by the president himself with him doesn't have a photo that he doesn't have a culture he will create. all right well thank you very much appreciate you taking the time to speak to us to starve a barrow and joining us from south paolo and these are just some of the pictures that we've been looking at of the former brazilian president and asio nuna to civil

addressing his supporters and he has now been released from prison he's been addressing crowds of his supporters who have gathered in front of the building where lulu is being held they are of course there with death flags with messages of support for him but yet it is very very important moment in a deceiver has was ordered released from prison by a judge after the supreme court ordered a change and they overturned a law which would require criminals to go to jail after losing their 1st appeal and they now have the right to remain free until that process has been exhausted. well we go to chile now antigovernment protests there are into the 4th week with thousands of people back on the streets of the capital santiago there is widespread anger over economic inequality in one of latin america's richest nations a series of concessions from president sebastian pinera including

a proposal to increase the minimum wage has failed to pacify the protest is well we've been watching protests very closely in iraq and they've been more violent clashes in the country in the capital also in the south this despite the top shia cleric calling for calm and urging the military in the police to avoid using excessive force against the protesters iraqi commission for human rights as at least 23 protesters have been killed in the on rest since sunday june reports now from baghdad. for 18 year old i'm mot on this day at this hour the music must be mournful sitting among fellow protesters he plays his clarinet in tribute to the hundreds of alkies killed since anti-government demonstrations began in early october and says this is the best way to convey his feelings just. as i was then and of mecca who i don't know what

my heart is on fire when i play this sudden music because i remember that the old have a mother waiting for them a home they gave this souls for us they sacrificed the souls for this country. here in and around but that is to hit a square a cross-section of the society in every direction a span of generations the elderly taking great enjoyment in teaching the young the importance of this moment when you're sincere more than anything else is the result of protesters committed to coming out day after day demonstrators was herman to effect 3 doing for sure a better future for her daughter and her daughter for the scale of these demonstrations is unprecedented the mood in some areas positively joyful yet activists tell us this movement couldn't be more serious and they believe things are far different this time and yet out of the saddle and fish out of the family was in previous protests it's been limited to the use but with these protests to

our youth were killed we felt the need for all of us to come out women men elderly paypal the young and even children have come out this time now everyone wants change many here also lend a helping hand some brew and give away or. while others like delhi distribute fliers advising protesters how to stay safe we all have rights in this country and if we don't act like no one is going to get whether or not government officials ultimately. stan the magnitude of these protests makes no difference today who says protesters will not be deterred we didn't even get to be in the words of my hero and they say go back to your home country you are my everything will be all my new life like going to be all over many of our friends are my enemies getting die here this is not going to be over until we have our rights here and now it all keys are raising their voices like never before some seems like the one put on by this

turkey still believes of those fighters are still operating in those areas along with their weapons and this is why they would like to ensure through their joint patrols that everyone has left at a later stage turkey is intending to. set up observation post a longer safe zone a very of us pressures from albuquerque all the way to words. to ensure that they asked their fighters not stage any come back to the areas all the border with turkey meanwhile turkey is saying it will start sending back captured members of i still from northern syria to their countries of origin on monday its interior minister said around $287.00 i saw members including women and children were recaptured since the offensive began almost a month ago chucked dozens upon dozens of them whatever your objections were if you take their citizenships or not we would deport burnt clothes i thought fighters who are your own people and your own citizens drive no matter what you do then you'll

developments in spain the prime minister has called for democracy not violence in catalonia on his final day of campaigning ahead of sunday's general election the country 2nd this year has made the comments at a rally in barcelona which is seen violent protests in recent weeks over the jailing of separatist leaders jonah hill has our ports. a student protest camp blocking a busy barcelona street says much about the deadlock at the heart of spanish politics and we are trying to make it like conscious and to their young people that we are growing up in a system that in some many years we just feel this is a generation that doesn't believe its future is served by the political infighting that saw socialist leader pedro sanchez fail to form a governing coalition after elections in april. now sanchez is hoping he's gamble

on a 2nd election in 7 months spain's 4th in 4 years will pay off locating his final campaign rally in barcelona the capital and capital is meant to send a message that he is best placed to solve spain's most intractable problem the dr catalan independence. yes that i got that oh yes this is the catalonia we stand for the catalonia that wants to live in peace not confrontation that wants democracy and not violence solutions and not conflicts over. the problems pedro sanchez is that while the socialists are predicted to win they will likely once again fall short of a majority and forming a coalition maybe even harder this time than it was back in april. he wants to show that he has for the kind of like lead this is. what he said and you think you'll succeed here he'll get the votes i don't know if he'll get.

the violence in barcelona last month but followed the jailing of cattle and separatist leaders reignited the independence debate and drove spanish public opinion to the right. the far right box party but promises to ban separatism altogether could emerge as spain's largest party and the once mighty conservative people's party is also on the rise leaving the socialists struggling for suitable partners. one option sanchez hasn't ruled out is a tie up with catalonia separatist parties but what they want most he cannot give is play with both sides they would have less side effects to be on the left but in the end he always about making. a mistake always end up on the ballot making deals with the right parties so the political deadlock could well continue and in the struggle for an independent catalonia stalemate. barcelona.

abdulhamid joins us live from barcelona where it looks as though many of the people that were there behind you have now this sanchez's. comments to the crowd were eagerly awaited what did he have to say is campaigning wraps up. well it was actually a long winter and followed by quite a short speech sounds really stormed into this war being cheered by everyone he said immediately that he was the 1st prime minister to ever close his campaign in catalonia because there are many that alone yearns and this is the catalonia he wants to sort of of bring to light the catalonia that is for a united spain and then he went on sort of positioning himself as the only sort of moderate progressive voice i did moment in the political arena in spain and he told

the people they said you have 2 choices either you vote for us to socialist the progressive or you risk giving a big boost to what tea called the extremists and each meant by dad the far right vox party and the independence movement here in catalonia he also went on saying spain has a lot of issues that need to be dealt a penchant like employment but at the moment nothing is able to nothing is being able to tackle simply because banish people have been going from one election to the other he ended by promising that by if you get he wins this election he by december he would have formed a new government that could be a wishful thinking considering what happened in the past election in april and how difficult it was for him to formed a coalition government and he brought about this new election nevertheless he said he would form that government and by january spain would have to vote on

a congress would have could pass a new budget because actually discounts he did not have a budget for this 200-2019 it's been running under budget of the previous year simply because of political forces could not get an agreement on that so that was mainly his. sort of message to the people here if you mean to be point being i am the only voice of a. progressive democratic state so you need to vote for me otherwise the hardliners would get more and more power is the message from him isn't it thank you very much for the abdel-hamid in barcelona you at the news hour live from london much more still ahead india is preparing to install the world's biggest facial recognition system rights groups very it could be used against government opponents . palin is reflects on their once divided city ahead of saturday's 30th anniversary of the toppling of the wall. yeah. captain are going to choose

the world go round but maybe the shipping is the wrong kind of investment. helping the calls on al-jazeera. and. the u.s. is a tipping point scientists are telling us right now that we have just 12 near us the world's leaders failed to agree upon a solution. to taking matters into their own. capito even now. we're trying to suction to get people to understand that it kills people and that it kills people now it's ridiculous both sides return to people's doors on no jersey or.

the city on the banks of the river in north india is the epicenter of the divide between hindus and muslims. at the heart of the dispute is this piece of land claimed as the birthplace of the hindu dirtied. it is also claimed by muslims who say a mosque was here for 400 years until it was demolished by hindu mob 27 years ago. as her now 68 vividly remembers the day in brown's father was burnt alive in the courtyard of the house one of at least 2000 people killed all over india in the hindu muslim riots which followed as the court delivers its word dicked emraan says he doesn't seek revenge not even justice but a final resolution hunger judge them on your wall we warn us no violence after the

court's decision whether it comes in favor of the hindus or the muslims but we don't want clashes to erupt in our city. that is a common sentiment in. reclaiming their heritage and building a temple. but it's about politics they say dispute is about domination of the hindus. and then by the british it is time they say for the hindus to assert themselves as the majority but for many muslims it's about whether their rights are protected. hopes of a compromise have been raised by a committee set up by the supreme court to invite rival communities to. differences . from a group called muslims for peace says that if muslims when they must get their share of land to the hindus as long as assurances are given that other mosques won't be attacked. if they come with this guarantee muslims must think about either

gifting or exchanging learn. the. hindus involved in the supreme court case seem agreeable to the compromise. and appropriate. where the majority. there. is about the supreme court and the potential for history repeating itself. well now in separate developments india is preparing to install the world's biggest facial recognition system it's hoped the technology will assist in solving crimes in a country where there are only $144.00 police personnel for every 100000 citizens delhi

police say during a trial they identified nearly 3000 missing children in just the space of a few days but rights activists have concerns they feel the system poses risks to individual privacy and the potential misuse of data they're also worried it could facilitate increased surveillance of political opponents and critics as well as rights activists and journalists there are also concerns about how accurate this technology can be it's been proven to sometimes misidentify darkest skinned women those from ethnic minorities and transgender people well i'm joined now by ali funk a research analyst for freedom on the net at the democracy and human rights organization freedom house she joins us from new york so obviously there are concerns about the risks to privacy about how this sort of system could be misused against political opponents just tell me a bit more about how india what do we know of the government's plans precisely how

they want to use a centralized system of this nature. well 1st off thanks so much for having me on today i'm really happy to be here to talk about this important issue so and then since in india it seems that they want to out they want to roll out a nationwide facial recognition program so police can use it to do kurt to deter crimes like you mentioned but it's really alarming because these tepper technologies can facilitate facilitate mass surveillance we know that the technology it's an accurate we know that it has very intense privacy risks to it for example you know if if a database is hacked a facial scans you somebody can simply go get a new face and we know that there really grave consequences for human rights here because we're concerned that police and the central government could use it to

track peaceful protesters or to target journalists or other dissidents. but of course from their point of view from their perspective that police force. does not have the resources it needs it doesn't have the funding it needs and technology like this can potentially modernize and revolutionize what they're able to do that can help solve criminal cases. yeah that's the that's the argument of the government and i would echo that the technology is an accurate right now so even if you're going wanting to use it for criminal prosecutions you probably you could not get the rate person you're looking for any even if the technology was accurate the threats to privacy and other fundamental freedoms are just too grave i do sympathize you know about you i want to say to her. just investigations just you

know just we're running through some of the points delhi police were saying that during the trial they identified nearly 3000 missing children i mean so has been some positive impact from the yeah i word you know want to look at the research on that some independent research groups that have been looking at facial recognition haven't found that it's successful there's been a number of investigations on that front that it actually has facilitated an accurate claim so i would want to see the research on that and then also i would i would stress that fishel recognition technology is not getting at the root causes of these crimes if we want better policing we need community approaches that actually look at why people are undertaking certain criminal acts thank you very much it was very good to get your thoughts on this story allie fung was such on this for freedom on the net great thank you so much for having me

now self i excelled cambodian opposition figures sam rainsy says he's been able to board a flight from paris and will be in cambodia by saturday comes a day after he was barred from boarding a flight from paris to thailand posted on social media that he's been allowed on another flight but he didn't specify a way he's going he's vowed to lead demonstrations against the cambodian prime minister hun sen the could face arrest off to a crackdown on members of his banned party. as person gears up for its december election political parties are bombarding social media sites with campaign messages but with very little oversight of the content their office on votes as might be swayed by misinformation. now the dangers of misleading online campaign content like a straightforward question to labor's bricks it spokes person and a prompt reply what would be you give you

a good deal if they know that you're going to actively campaign against it well here's literally what most of you going to be doing but piers i have been talking to you 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 that video this is actually right now what we are concerned about a it's not the deep fakes it's what we will call it cheap fake so something that has been edited with a little bit of the 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 very well on line and has a tendency to go viral. the labor party's now taken a well known image from boris johnson's 2016 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
