there is no question of. that's going to talk correspondent who's joining us live from the capital in new delhi and as we heard from the lawyer representing the muslim group there are plenty of contradictions in the judgment and he's not the only one who thinks so because on the one hand the court of knowledge is that the mosque was there for centuries it wasn't built on a temple its destruction was a criminal act yet the land is essentially being handed over to handle. well that is correct it is a bit so there are some contradictions that. going through the judgment it's a very long 1045 pages just some parts of it. a phrase just a portion of it which essentially says that the court has taken the decision it has taken.

i do apologize it looks like we've lost our connection with our correspondent in new delhi we will of course be talking to. and 2 analysts about the story throughout the day but let's move on to other news for now and more violence in the iraqi city of basra has killed at least 7 anti-government protesters 15 other people were injured out of the local council building on friday night as they fought with security forces more than 200 people 300 people rather have been killed since the beginning of october protesters are angry about and lack of basic services rising unemployment and corruption. now he was once hailed by barack obama as the most popular politician on earth now results for president in are fairly the silver is again energizing brazil's leftist opposition after a supreme court ruling freed him from jail but conservatives say symbolized a culture of corruption trials and. his

new delhi talk us through the supreme court ruling on. well essentially what the supreme court of india has done is past its verdict and said that a board of trustees would be formed over the coming 3 months and this board of trustees is going to go about. building a temple on the disputed sites and that says the hindu believes has one elizabeth and the muslims have been given an alternative piece of land somewhere else or would be given i would be given an alternative piece of land as a base saver now the question is that from what i understand i've been talking to several analyst and they say that the court has come about with this judgment to bring closure to end of this dispute saw the people of the country can move on this has been a very divisive issue but will it bring closure to hindus are not going to come out on the streets to protest because the wording is in their favor but with the muslims there are differing views i've spoken to some intellectuals who said in the

run up to the word dick that if they accept an alternative piece of land and give up their claim but in turn they get broader peace and harmony between the hindus in the muslims that they'd be ok with that but there is no guarantee whether that would be the case another group of muslim muslims say that they don't quite understand the ruling of the supreme court they say that this will have to go through a 1045 pages a ruling off of port here and they say they don't understand why on one hand the court says why the demolition of barbary mosque on december 6th 1902 are violation of law and that was slim's and admits that was limited brain in a courtyard of the disputed land but the word it has been given in the favor of the hindu belief so they don't understand. said that they would be going through the judgment in every detail to find out what the course of reasoning is and i'm sure you know the destruction of bobby mustard in 1992 since then i order has been

a focal point for in the communal tensions between these 2 groups there was so much violence after the destruction and i suppose that's why there have been so many security measures put in place around the country to make sure that there is no violence as a result of the ruling that's correct elizabeth in the 92 after the demolition of their rights which we've been doing muslims across the country and 2000 people work this time the security forces the government has tried to take every measure they can to make sure that there is no eruption of violence 12000 security personnel police men and women have been deployed in the state of which is where the disputed site is have also said that the police officials have met at least $10000.00 local leaders and muslims and spoke with them about the importance of keeping peace the security officials i've learnt are also keeping an

eye on social media to make sure there are no provocative statements online and that there are no rumors so a lot of security measures have been taken to ensure that there is no eruption of violence this time around and not just a newbie but in many other states as well until thank you for that for now that is an order with the latest live in new delhi thank you. now cambodian opposition leader sam rainsy has arrived in malaysia after earlier being barred from a flight to thailand he's about to return home to cambodia to lead demonstrations against prime minister hoon sen was ruled for more than 30 years and sen has described the planned return of raincy and all the opposition leaders as an attempted coup. the. director of. the proceeding to the secret service let me show you the proceedings. we did. they show.

that wet weather pushing across i saw the policy of india china across the rest of southeast asia not see bad but we want to see showers in the full cost indonesia generally staying dry having said that in studies thanks dry of course a good part of australia at the moment we do have the bushfires of course at the west at present around the base the side australia and queensland into new south wales this cold front here that will swing through victoria to the southeast in kona introducing somewhat fresher weather as we go through the next couple of days but the fires continuing to cause major problems across the region here this season alone around where we see more fires breaking out more land but this season alone compared to the last 2 seasons combined so an awful situation 17 shell just there in melbourne on sunday there is that cold wet with a lot to winds case up once again as we go into monday.

on counting the cost it's the birthplace of neo liberalism but will it also be the death of it by taking a look at the doctrine and the protests in chile against that kind of money makes the world go round but maybe there's such a thing as the wrong kind of investment. counting the costs on al-jazeera. i already felt liberated as a journalist was. getting to the truth was that i would love for this job. the problem and these are the top stories this hour india's supreme court has

a disputed religious side at. will be handed to a government appointed board of trustees to build a hindu temple the court said alternative land will be set aside for a mosque brazil's former president has walked out of prison 19 months after being jailed for corruption and money laundering the judge ordered luisa vaziri to distil this release after a high court ruling and at least 7 protectors have been killed in the iraqi city of basra they fought with security forces demonstrators are angry about a lack of basic services rising unemployment and corruption. now some opposition politicians in hong kong have been detained or told that they'll be arrested police say they broke the law during a meeting of the legislative council in may meanwhile are the night a vigil for a student who died after falling from a building during a demonstration turned violent many in the protest movement claim police for the death police did not have responsibility well earlier people gathered at the car

park where the student fell from and other locations for peaceful vigils protests in hong kong started at the end of march and reaction to a now scrapped bill allowing people to be sent to china for trial but they have widened to calls for more democracy let's go to our correspondent there were clouds she is joining us live from hong kong a number of overnight and probably rallies and vigils to pay tribute to the student who died sara can you confirm 1st though that a number of lawmakers have been arrested. if there was a number of citywide impromptu rallies and vigils and memorials to pay tribute to the 22 year old students who died. on friday as a result of being involved in a protest with another vigil here in front of the lives of council building here in hong kong tonight but as you mentioned there were a number of also lawmakers who were detained and arrested gere in these vigils one in particular was arrested at $1015.00 last night now they've been accused or will

be charged with violating various lives of council powers one in particular is $82.00 now 3 have been arrested and charged the 4 others we're waiting to hear whether or not they have been charged yet but they've been notified that they will be arrested now 3 will appear in court on monday the charges as you mentioned. but there are lights to various lives of council powers to say it was a relation to a legal meeting or one he started ahead of time so there certainly discrepancies over the course this was in murray's so that the accusation is why whites too will now be november months after these particular instance to arrest these particular lawmakers now the accusations from various problematic democracy groups that they are trying to create political chaos in the lead up to the district elections which will happen on november 24th what do the arrests mean for those elections which were already looking somewhat unlikely.

well as i mentioned it will create 2 of his actions that will create political chaos in the lead up to those district or local elections now at the moment the government is saying that if there is unsafe or dangerous conditions if there are protests during or the lead up to november 24th they could potentially postpone those district elections for november 24. surroundings or they suggested behind that is if they do postpone those elections it gives the government more time to win back support from the city from hong kong and the public at the moment the voter registration for the 18 to 35 year old group has made a record registration so the suggestion is people do want to vote in these elections because of the anger and the opposition to the current government and if they the people do vote in the numbers they're suggesting the people are suggesting as well the voices that are suggesting that the government which has the approach beijing majority could lose their numbers or the majority in the lives of council chamber sarah thank you for that for now that is their clout with the latest live

in hong kong thank you now to a rare sign of cooperation between india and pakistan a card or letting indian 6 cross the border to visit one of their holiest sites has opened in that in the more the in all the way to the crossing on the indian side of the border 5000 people a day will now be able to cross without a visa to worship at the grave of citizens found a good anomic at 4 it's just 4 kilometers inside pakistan but tension between the neighboring countries has often made it hard to access. now u.s. airstrikes against a group al-shabaab in somalia have surged since 2017 following an executive order by president donald trump and civilians living in the area caught in the crossfire amnesty international says a growing number of people have been killed dozens more injured malcolm webb spoke to some of the survivors. on the shoulder and ripped open by a blast from a bomb he says he heard the aircraft dropped it. killed his

more people were injured survivors say they saw the aircraft which was trying to bomb al-shabaab fighters in a passing car the history of u.s. military engagement in somalia dates back to the early 1990 s. after the infamous black hawk down incident here in mogadishu in 1903 it pulled their troops out president barack obama authorized the 1st drone strikes 8 years ago but after president donald trump came to power nearly 3 years ago military strikes of all kinds with drones unmanned aircraft and ground troops have escalated in additional and so have civilian casualties according to the rights group amnesty international it's documented 17 civilian deaths and 8 injuries u.s. military airstrikes in somalia since early 2017 targeted and if we join those who are not that actively participate in active force to indiscriminately attacking

that saw socialist leader petro 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 catalan capital is meant to send a message that he is best placed to solve spain's most intractable problem the drive for catalan independence. yes that i got that oh yes this is the catalonia we stand for the catalonia that wants to live in peace and not confrontation that wants democracy and not violence solutions and not conflict so really. the problem here 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 kind of like this. 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 said. protest 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 property 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 their with less side effects to be their left but in the end we always end up making this always and that the others making deals with the right

parties so the political deadlock could well continue and in the struggle for an independent catalonia stalemate jonah how al-jazeera barcelona. the headlines on al-jazeera and the supreme court has disputed religious side. will be handed to a government appointed board of trustees to build a temple the court said alternatively. mosque. at least a 7 protesters have been killed in the iraqi city of basra as they fought with security forces demonstrators angry about a lack of basic services rising unemployment and corruption more than 200 people have been killed since the beginning of october results former president has walked out of prison 19 months after being jailed for corruption and money laundering a judge ordered louise in our studio to deceive us release after brazil's top court
