based on the phone call fact and fiction the truth is in any way on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm stan grant this is a news i'll live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. resumes former president lula da silva is freed from jail after a supreme court ruling. a white with anger on the streets of chile a day after the president announced tough of measures against violent protesters.

iraq's top clear it calls for more protesters are killed in clashes with security forces. a ring of fire fears bushfires will get even worse in australia as people rush to get out of their homes. with i defied fists in the air brazil's former president lula da silva has walked out of prison after 19 months. he was surrounded and cheered by his supporters in the city of probate or earlier a judge ordered his release after brazil's top court room to end a mandatory jail time for convicted criminals who've lost their 1st appeal that was sentenced to more than 12 years in jail last year ahead of presidential elections

we're going to bring you more on this story throughout the hour in chile police the fire. water cannon the protesters who were throwing rocks in response. to. the scene in the capital santiago just an hour ago demonstrations began. but no spawn of widespread anger against government economic policies more than 20. 2000 injured in violence over the past few weeks. we've seen in the news live in the capital so give us a sense of what you'll see. just how much momentum there still is around these protests. stan there's a lot of momentum we saw tens of thousands of people peaceful demonstrators converging again in midtown. almost as

a response to the president's call for tighten security measures to confront increasing vandalism and delinquency and what what the president called organized crime now right behind me a few seconds ago some massed protesters or people set up a barricade you might be able to see the flames behind me down some street signs but the most serious thing that's happened so far is that while tens of thousands of peaceful protesters were calling for social reforms on the periphery of that enormous protest that was there with been fires university building was set on fire and some of these mass people are coming towards us now. they're fighting with other citizens that are telling them not to not to be causing the damage i don't know if my cameraman can zoom in on that now but as i was saying a university was set on fire a very old building a mansion is considered part of. cultural heritage completely destroyed

dozens of fire trucks tried to put out the fire. and and it was just went up in flames so there's been a lot of looting a lot of damage and a lot of conflict some of the peaceful demonstrators in fact were trying to help the firemen put out the fire they've tried to confront the more violent protesters but to no avail stan and lucy a really interesting those pictures that you bring is then you can see people arguing amongst each other behind you and as you saw some of the peaceful protesters trying to help put out the fire one of the really interesting aspects about these protests is. leaderless give us a sense of the tension that exists between those carrying out the violence and those wanting to protest peacefully and the overall sense of unity that you pick up among the protesters. that's a very interesting point because there is clearly there are people who don't believe in violence and those who believe that the violence is the only way to get

the attention of this country's leaders and then there are a whole lot of people that are on the fringe that it just expressing their anger they haven't really articulated a political slogan if you like but this is it has turned out to be an opportunity for them to vent years decades if you like of frustration and of feeling on the fringes of society so it's a very mixed bag and you're right there are no the there is but the vast majority of chile and some of the drive to stop these people although. clearly without success because some of them are very very violent indeed are trying to articulate a plan moving forward to try to convince the government to perhaps a new or recover or completely scrapped the constitution for example to pass legislation that addresses their long felt demands and that is happening but not fast enough to keep people off the streets. thank you for that bring us latest there from santiago moving now to iraq where protests there of course have been

continuing 17 rockets have landed close to an iraqi army base south of the city. of mosul they are a base also houses american troops which is part of the u.s. led coalition hoping you iraqi forces battle remnants of us all live been no reports of casualties on the protests in the iraqi capital baghdad there have been more violent demonstrations the iraqi commission for human rights says at least 23 people have been killed in the unrest since sunday iraq's top cleric has called for calm june has more 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 places clarinet in tribute to the hundreds of end up he's killed since anti-government demonstrations began in early october and says this is the best way to convey his feelings. and my house is on fire when i play

the said music because i remember that they all have a mother why i sing for the mahatma they gave the souls for us they sacrifice these souls for this country here in and around but that is to have 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 protesters are committed to coming out day after day demonstrators determined to effect 3 points sure a better future for iraq and there are. 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. that in previous protests it's been limited to the youth but with these protests after our youth were killed we felt the need for all of us to come out

when many of the men elderly people the young and even children have come out for these protests and. everyone wants change many here also lend a helping hand some brew and give away. while others like dahlia distribute flyers advising protesters out to stay safe and we all have back in this country if we don't act like no one is going to get whether or not government officials ultimately understand the magnitude of these protests makes no difference to that area who says protesters will not be deterred we've done it again that would be my hero and be safe here good seeing you are my everything will be all my new life like going to be all over maybe on our friends our families getting guy here because i'm going to be until we had our rights here and now i don't these are raising their voices like never before some scenes like the one put on by this street theater group are showcasing iraq's plight in ever more creative ways as

a country bullied by regional and international allies fighting hard to stand on its own 2 feet a happy ending for the assembled crowd who hope one day this outcome will be more than just fantasy. and disease but that. a spokesman for grand. study has urged the military and police to avoid using excessive force against the protests in the last fall for a lot that i learned sitting near to look to judge out the peacefulness of the protests in the various forms should be paid great attention the biggest responsibility is on the security forces they must avoid using excessive force on peaceful protesters. who want to take you back to our top story now the release of brazil's former president lula da silva from jail let's take a closer look at the case against him he was joe for corruption and money laundering after it was revealed that he had accepted a big front apartment from

a construction company in return for a lucrative government contract he's toast was linked to what's. known as the car wash scandal that's implicated the state or company petro bus many businessmen and politicians across latin america little insists the case against him was politically motivated and has appeal still pending in both of brazil's top courts the leftist leaders served as brazil's president between 2003 to 2010 he was tipped to win last year's elections but was barred from running after his conviction and imprisonment valentyn assata is with the atlantic council's letten american center she joins us live from washington d.c. via skype it's nice to have you with us let's just go 1st of all to the circumstances that has seen louvered silver released here why has the court changed its judgment in this case hi sam it's very nice to have it to be talking to you today thank you for having me wow this is

a decision made by that supreme court of brazil this has been a conversation and decision that has been in the makings seems 2016 so this is not new and definitely not unilateral towards no it does affect many others there are many thousands who may be released precisely in the same circumstances correct many of them including politicians but also people that were being convicted by their crimes as well but of course the focus is on the move or the silver of course is the former leader we saw the pictures of him emerging from court being greeted merging from prison rather being greeted by his supporters and a fist in the air how do you think people in brazil are going to respond to move or to sue over his release given his tools to a very popular figure. he's a very popular figure lott is very popular among his supporters he was one of the

most popular as the most popular president especially from the live to his supporters are still very much engaged with him and see in him a central figure for their lives he is definitely someone that is bringing a changing point to a deal lasting brazil in this brings supporters from his sign that also some some some people that support both and that are for example in the right and have not seen this move as much of a positive move towards towards the end to corruption movement in brazil for example before he was barred from contesting the election he indeed was favored to win the election that both sonar ultimately went on and was victorious of course will go to super competence apply politically until he over you know either comes those charges if the convictions are reversed but what does this do for the tension

inside the country given we've also seen both sonora his own popularity plummeting . that is correct we've seen that i feel a radio of both senator also falling but i believe as i mentioned that this is an inflection point for the left in brazil and they would take that as release as this does momentum to actually unify themselves in this in this fight that they have for is social causes and in inequality in brazil and i think that this is also a year of lay's definitely not going to be able to engage in politics not going to be able to be a politician himself again or run for anything bulleted cole but he's definitely going to be a vocal voice in the political scene in brazil and he doesn't have to he could become a vocal voice and very much correct figurehead for others to rally behind the counter

yes he's definitely going to be or he seems to be based on what we saw after his release in his speech with his supporters in his county to end constituents that he's going to become that spokesperson for the last in defeat your have left movement in brazil. well the trainer thank you so much for that further to sort of they're joining us from washington d.c. we're going to go to teresa bono. to reason give us a sense if you can and you know it's not we're talking about a very short period of time since she's been released but what are you picking up from the reactions of people the move was moved is really. well it depends who you ask everyone is polarized in brazil these days and they have different types of opinions many of the people we spoke to were moved to with coming out of prison and coming out with his fists up as a sign of victory over hoping to find he was surrounded by thousands and thousands

of people when he came out of the prison including t.v. in the states. and they are here they were carrying banners saying that you lie sin a sense of they were chanting you leave it which we say basically means the law needs to be free he said and he told the people there that they are the voice of democracy he also challenge to the courts the judiciary the federal police among others and he also said that while he was in prison he had a chance to fall in love and asked him his girlfriend to marry him so there was lots of hope in those who are surrounding the former president but of course there is happiness on one side there's sadness on the other and many of the people we have spoken to here in sao paolo this is the place where some of the largest demonstrations happened during the whole carwash corruption investigation when thousands and thousands of people took to the streets to denounce the corruption that had happened why you love us he was in power well many of the people we have spoken to and many of them are from the working class they were telling us that

they're very angry that this is a bad example and that you should have remained in prison just through bond is to raise a couple of things here one the circumstances into prison and those bribery charges and convictions then 2nd divorce. the legal situation that he finds himself you know where those appeals are stupid and. well he was sentenced last year to 80 years to almost 9 years in prison and what you are in what it was supposed to be an investigation this carwash investigation where we so dozens and dozens of politicians a businessman among others being detained because of kickbacks grimes between the states or the company paid for with us private companies like all their bread among other things so lula was part of that investigation he was investigated for receiving allegedly an apartment something that he has consistently denied and the

man that he worked actually put him behind bars george morrow said your motto is currently the justice minister of the presidency of the not all and he's been severely questions especially in the past months when some recording scame that in a way showed he had pressured or collaborated with the prosecutors to put you behind bars and that is what it's crucial in this case what that's why you will is asking for this whole process against him to be cancelled because what we do know now is that has not been declared innocent he has been freed because of this change or in the law and because of the supreme court's decision but the case against him continues and this is not the only one but most definitely what happened at the supreme court last thursday's change to many things here in brazil it's not only a new law that will leave prison there are thousands of others that could do so too but the last fight against the justice system in brazil is not over but what's

interesting is that when he left prison these his political opponents were hoping to see him in a way weak well he showed something completely different showed that he's willing to fight back and he said that he's willing to fight again. what he says was the persecution of the left in brazil to resist thank you for that reason both joining us live this is about. putting more head on the news hour including more street battles between police and protesters after a vigil for 22 year old hong kong student. the indian town of whites for a quote court verdict on a controversial piece of land held sacred by both hindus and muslims and in sport one of the 2 men who tried to attack a pair of arsenal football this is sentenced to jail time.

a lawyer for the us former national security advisor has written a letter which suggests that john bolton would have a lot to reveal if he is compelled to testify he says bolton is familiar with relevant matings and conversations with ukraine the house impeachment inquiry centers around where the financial i was with hilde to encourage its leaders to investigate president trump political rival joe biden and gallagher is live in washington d.c. to tell us more and the key word here and he is if if john bolton indeed testifies and he wants to leave that up to a court to make the ruling. yeah i mean john bolton the former national security advisor was supposed to turn up on thursday he was a no show that was no surprise to the democrats they expected john bolton's lawyer saying it's up to a judge to decide whether he does appear before these intake from proceedings but this is tantalizing stuff in this letter from his lawyer saying that essentially

john bolton has personal information remember this is someone who met with the president on a daily basis about relevant meetings and discussions that haven't yet been heard or discussed in these in the print inquiry so that dangling a very big carrot on a very big stick here because we don't know if john bolton will turn up or when this legal process and the judge will decide will actually happen but we know from other reports in other testimony that john bolton was said to be exasperated with these alleged attempts of the trumpet ministration to withhold military aid in return for dirt on a political rival in fact it's reported that john bolton said at one point that rudy giuliani the president's personal lawyer someone accused of running a shadow foreign policy was a hunger an aide that's going to take everybody down so clearly john bolton would be an important witness in these proceedings but it's not yet clear whether he will actually appear when a judge will even hear that case and of course at the moment most people are looking forward to wednesday when we get those 1st public open.

investigations when for the 1st time americans will see key people with 1st hand knowledge of that phone call to the ukrainian president live on television for the 1st time but nonetheless potentially an important development. a lot of politics being played around this is where we know that donald trump says this is a conspiracy this is an attempt by the democrats to to get him out of office the same time the house could have subpoenaed john bolton but decided not to why. a minute there's a lot of moving parts here they can do subpoenas or they can just ask people from the trumpet ministration to turn up i think very much at the moment the democrats are focused on 3 very strong testimonies that will be seen in public on wednesday through the rest of next week. they essentially know that people in john bolton won't turn up and even with the subpoena may not turn up that's just the kind of

political games that are being played what the democrats are trying to do is stay focused on the message keep this simple for the american public and accuse the president of saying hey do me a favor investigate my political rival and then i will give you military aid to try to keep the simplest possible because this is a line a story line that people can follow it's far less complicated than say the malo brush or inquiry which went on for you know 2 years and was very hard to follow they try to stay on point and i think they're trying to focus on next week's open hearings public inquiries live on camera people talking about this with firsthand knowledge that's the focus right now they don't want to get too involved in a long legal process of trying to get people into these impeachment here is there really focus on what will happen here in washington d.c. in the next few days and if thank you so much for that meanwhile the acting white house chief of staff has defied a subpoena ordering him to testify at the inquiry a white house correspondent kimberly hellcat has more. all thing is a scare as u.s.

president donald trump continues to attack the impeachment investigation another witness has refused to show up acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney is the latest in a string of white house officials to defy requests by democrats to testify in the congressional impeachment inquiry get over it democrats want to talk to me about statements he made last month he told reporters trump deliberately held up military aid to ukraine to pressure it to investigate trump's political rival former vice president joe biden we do we do that all the time with foreign policy mulvaney later walked back those statements and democrats want to know why was one of 13 witnesses scheduled to testify in closed door hearings this past week just 2 showed up as congress moves toward the public phase of its investigation to begin next wednesday trump says he's opposed to those hearings well they shouldn't be having

public fears that contradicts republican members of congress who stormed a closed door session recently protesting the private hearings and have asked for more openness democrats allege trump abuse presidential power when he spoke in july with ukraine's leader a call prompted a whistleblower complaint the foundation of the democrats' impeachment inquiry trump released a transcript of the call he says shows no wrongdoing he's considering releasing a 2nd transcript of another call with the korean president back in april i had a call. your it was 500 you know i have a lot of balls but i have no problem relates to get a bird friends vera democrats allege just the opposite is a heck of a lot of evidence of the presence of fences but we have to give a fair hearing if they try to be open minded and say next week the world will hear publicly from key. witnesses in this investigation one of them bill taylor has

confirmed privately what donald trump has vehemently denied that trump tied ukraine aid into an investigation into former vice president joe biden can really help at al-jazeera the white house. now to hong kong the vigil for a student killed in protests there has turned violent police used tear gas to try to break up crowds of demonstrators the death of child so log on friday is expected to fuel more anger sara clock has more from. the hospital confirms the students death on friday morning chachi look suffered a brain injury after falling from a car park during a protest on monday but after 2 operations he died of a cardiac arrest because of course. the family wants to tell the media and the people of hong kong thank you very much for showing your support and encouragement to queen elizabeth hospital in the past few days they are very thankful. child was

a computer science undergraduate at the hong kong university of science and technology fried i was the graduation ceremony for many of the students that event became a memorial as his colleagues paid tribute to the 22 year old i think it's a very grave day and we all have we all have i think a lot of humble people not just for us the members have a man tall operation for this but still when it comes to fact it hurts a lot this could be the 1st death as a direct result of the confrontations between police and protesters in hong kong the anti-government movement blames the police for china's injury which occurred when tear gas was fired on students during a dispersal operation he was trying to employ i am from the police fired tear gas. law for them from a cop and so today we want. also locked in

my. government the police to launch a free press because the government has expressed its regret and sorrow of the death of the 22 year old student standing in sympathies to the family but this incident is lucky to further anger the anti-government movement. more protests is expected to join demonstrations this week and. high profile pro-democracy activists joshua warm and agnes chow have called on protesters to join the rallies which are now in their 5th month they were charged with organizing a legal assembly in june before friday's court appearance they demanded an independent police inquiry into what they describe as excessive force being used on protests now is the time for the government to step up in the band as investigation on the flash we need to know for truth and justice. the police have denied any wrongdoing and will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of the students do if sarah

were killed nationwide in 992 when riots following the demolition of a mosque in your job or as more. the city on the banks of the so you 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. it is also claimed by muslims who say a mosque was here for 400 years until it was demolished by hindu war 27 years ago. now 68 vividly remembers the day. father was burnt alive in the courtyard of the house one of at least 2000 people killed all over india in the hindu muslim rights which followed. as the coach delivers its word dicked says he doesn't seek revenge

not even justice a final resolution. no violence after the court's decision whether it comes in favor of the. but we don't want clashes erupted on city. that is a common sentiment in. reclaiming their heritage. 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 communities to. differences. from a group called muslims for peace says that if muslims when they must give to the

hindus as long as assurances are given that other mosque won't be attacked again. if they come with this guarantee muslims must think about either gifting or exchanging land for. the. hindus involved in the supreme court case seem agreeable to the compromise. and appropriate. where the. that. im wrong about the supreme court and the potential for history repeating itself. a so for example the opposition leader says he'll be back in cambodia on saturday so posted on social media that he's boarded

a flight from france but didn't specify where he said in earlier he was barred from getting on an airline bound for thailand he's vowed to be demonstrations against cambodian prime minister won't send but he risks a wrist after a crackdown on members of his band party turkey says it will start sending back captured i assume members to their countries of origin next week it syria ministers said about 287 members were recaptured since the start of the offensive he's accused western countries of a lack of cooperation by putting prisoners on trial in the country where they've been caught. chuck the sense that whatever your pleasure clint's with you take the citizenships or not be pulled back comes i so fighters who are your own people and you and citizens comment to what you do then you'll know what to tell us as we've said before we all know what he's hotel for i still could lead to tell you he's a senior research team and writes what she says western nations should be working

with turkey to repatriate citizens we'll have to see how this plays out but the best option for western europe would be to cooperate with turkey rather than continue to drag its feet and and reject the pleas of authorities in the region and its own citizens for them to take back their own people i have a hard time believing that western europe with its mature democracies and its robust judiciaries and and investigative systems does not have a way to absorb several 100 several 100 of its own nationals back into its system this strikes me as being an empty argument a shallow argument western europe is going that been content to out of sorts its citizens to other countries it's time for that to stop for it to stop hiding its head in the sand and to do the right thing by its nationals who are suffering

suffering in terrible dire conditions in camps and prisons hundreds of children have died in these counts shame on western europe it's time to act the world bank is urging lebanon to form a new cabinet quickly labeling the ongoing instability is deeply concerning there have been more than 3 weeks of protests as demonstrators call for an overhaul of the system as a hoarder explains the crisis is threatening fuel and medicine imports. the crisis in lebanon is deepening there soon could be fuel shortages importers say banks are not giving them the dollars they need to buy supplies the lack of foreign currency was a problem even before protests against the ruling elite began 3 weeks ago at the time the central bank promised to facilitate access to dollars and guarantee fixed exchange rates for exporters. the government resigned and banks have reversed the decision banks want 85 percent of the payment at lebanese liras and 15 percent in

dollars plus they have imposed fees importers can no longer afford the additional costs lebanon's largest protest movement of years was triggered by the economic crisis people are demanding a government independent of political parties to prepare for early elections there is a political standoff and it is hurting the economy and hospitals are now warning of what they call a health catastrophe now i know is that. patients may start dying because of the lack of filters for example our stocks won't last more than a month the government must pay its juice to the hospitals right away and banks should ease transactions so we can pay importers banks are placing restrictions on the withdrawal of hard currency and financial transactions outside the country remain blocked apart from some exceptions there's so much that. there's no dollars . it can only. limited

quantities there has been no progress on forming a new government caretaker prime minister stadol had 80 is pushing for a politically neutral government to steer the country out of the crisis that is reportedly how did his condition to return as prime minister and he knows he has the support of the international community and among a number of political blocs which puts him in a strong position in negotiations it will be hard to find a replacement. and if he steps aside the crisis could go on even longer but the governing alliance continues to insist its parties remain represented in any future cabinet. the world bank is warning that the stalemate could lead to an even sharper economic downturn lebanon is facing difficult days ahead. beirut. a un expert panel has condemned the way former egyptian president mohamed morsy was
