1:03 pm
what they should. be respected there's no question of the viet relation. restraint and. how correspondent joins us now live from the capital new delhi i'm sure as we've just been hearing there there do appear to be some inherent contradictions in this ruling i know it's more than a 1000 pages long so talk a threat. well that is correct some. groups have begun to say that they don't quite understand that in one hand the supreme court is acknowledging that the demolition of bobbery moscow on 6 december 1902 was a violation of law and then awarding the word in favor of hindu believes in not their claim so they all resign up these issues and they may file a review petition that's the only thing that can be done at this stage because supreme court is the last. court the final court in this country the court has very
1:04 pm
clearly said that it's going to be it's ordered the formation of a group of trustees this group of this group should be formed over the next 3 months and their job is going to be figuring out how to construct a temple for hindu day to evolve for the muslims however they've come up with a face a of a they've said that the muslims will get an alternative piece of land elsewhere and they will be able to construct a mosque that now the big question really is will this work tick now bring closure this issue has divided this country for many decades now and some analysts are saying that the idea was that this what it would bring some sort of closer however that's not quite clear because muslim groups already raising objections and i'm telling you talking about to fission after the violent from the deaths that we saw back in 1902 i'm guessing very tight security ahead of today's verdict. that is correct indeed 12000 policemen and women have been deployed that's the
1:05 pm
state in north of india where the disputed site is more than the actual security officials say that they've conducted 10000 meetings with local hindu and muslim. doesn't spoken to spoken to them about the importance of keeping peace they also say that they're watching social media to make sure that there are no provocative comments to ensure that violence does not erupt this of course is happening because back in 92 when bobby last was demolished there were riots all over the country and 2000 people had been killed so all in all the government is making an effort to make sure there is no violence but it remains to be seen what really happens on the ground and how the ground response. for all the developments for us from new delhi thank you well for more on their speaking speak to deshler a lawyer and a member of russia. or r.s.s. which is a parent body of the governing p j p party and he joins us now via skype also from new delhi mr nigam i want to start with the same ng inherently evil contradiction you're a lawyer yourself and the court has recognized the claims of muslim groups here and
1:06 pm
ruled that the previous attempts to try to convert the site in her temple were illegal so what's the legal basis then to order that the site now actually becomes a temple. wrong conclusion you're growing this was a civil. order property and law graham has to have the. existence of lord around this much more of use for. even the world into came into existence so this is not about muslims and hindus this was about. the really gives is based on evidence evidence was very strong in feel that if you lose the muslims was almost more buddha was really greek. familiar my i don't want to sorry i ask you about that because the archaeological survey of india did find it was inconclusive that there was a structure there underneath the mosque but it wasn't clear whether it was
1:07 pm
a temple or mosque that was just a structure so what kind of evidence are you talking about. so you know what i'm talking about discourse your conclusion again is wrong so far as the structure is concerned the supreme court has very clearly said the structure below the disputed . was not islamic what kind of a temple it was that is the difference it was a ram temple which was new temple over there it was other aspects of it and this temple or not the back is only be conclusion that can be drawn they said the structure below was not islam secondly they have also said about the mosque which was. built over that structure they said that is not completely. great those. presumably the people who worship there felt that it was authentic right so coming back taking a bit of a step back because this was a really divisive issue and there was
1:08 pm
a huge amount of violence that took place in 1902 when when the mosque was demolished and a number of people from the b j p and r.s.s. in or your group are facing charges criminal charges for that violence now that there is potentially going to be a temple belt on the site and which is what they wanted in a fast pace what kind of guarantees can you give us that and people there facing charges will continue to face charges and will face justice. yes the see the fact is there's a criminal case already going on so far the demolition of that this new construction is concerned and that will take its due course and if the courts find those people guilty. and there are no irises people there yes there are some people from egypt which are dead and if they are found guilty they will be punished and. people have the judicial nominees there also so indian courts are seized of the matter and the method is going on in the court well though the ruling today says that the
1:09 pm
government should now point to board trying to deal with the construction of this temple potentially so talk us through what's likely to happen now with that process and how involved the r.s.s. be c.r.'s is not involved in this movement. as it's only supported the movement are this is not an organization that you know is stocks education for movement is that one thing is very clear that his or the head of the artist has to do more with deeds where he clearly said today in a press conference and it is now it is the parties who are part of the supreme court they will be called by the government of india they make a trust and one of the parties which is particularly supreme court would also be. made a part of the trust and the 1st will break them but that is what the supreme court has said and they have clearly found that the title of the land belongs to longer um. rosmer he is a lawyer and a member of rush train s.y.m.

1:12 pm
well has been bracing for a round of arrests so who is being targeted. well interestingly there's been about 7 lawmakers who've been targeted by the police in a respected confirmed 3 have been arrested overnight and there is a result of various accusations or charges. relating to violating various levels of council powers and as you mentioned one of the to kill or he's been accused of starting a meeting ahead of time so the other 3 we believe for they've been told that they will be arrested over the weekend and the other 3 will be appear in court on monday now this is a number of the pro-democracy groups these are political prosecutions in the lead up to the district elections which will occur on november 24th sarah clarke there live for us in hong kong thank you for that update sara. staying in southeast asia and self exiled cambodian opposition leader sam rainsy has arrived in malaysia
1:13 pm
after earlier being barred from a flight to thailand he's promised to return home to lead demonstrations against prime minister hun sen who has ruled for more than 30 years and has described the planned return of raincy and other opposition leaders as an attempt to prove. if. you know the right. you will proceed to see the vision of the president to be. read to our vision for. the. things of democracy in the. hallway and head joins us now live from bangkok when talk us through what will happen now that sam rainsy has actually been allowed to enter malaysia. yes sort of the case suppose of close but still so far away for the acting president of the dissolved cambodia national rescue party this is the day that he said he would return to cambodia to
1:14 pm
begin an uprising against the government led by prime minister hun sen has been in power for 34 years well it's about quarter past 5 in the evening in cambodia right now so it seems certain that he is not going to arrive back on the 9th of november which is independence day in cambodia so it would have been a very significant poignant moment instead he is as you say in the malaysian capital kuala lumpur and it seems that after a brief detention or being pulled aside by immigration officials at the kuala lumpur airport that he's free to go about his business in malaysia and it seems that he will stay there for a few days he's saying he's been invited as a private citizen to go to the malaysian parliament on tuesday for some meeting so it seems that the malaysian government may well allow him to operate from within its borders but as you heard from him he is determined to still return to cambodia
1:15 pm
what will be interesting now is if that he is determined as he says to go back is whether the malaysian authorities will allow him to do so as you mentioned the tide national carrier thai airways refused his boarding from paris to bangkok on thursday the cambodian government has said that it has sent warnings to all airlines that fly into phnom penh that they should not carry sam rainsy to cambodia so there will be one thing to watch as to whether the malaysian government interferes in his plans to return to phnom penh and heather and bangkok or stay across that story for us thank you ron. i have plenty more ahead for you on the news hour including a ring of fire emergency workers in australia battle intense bushfires in the east . and a wave of anger on the streets of chile a day after the president announced tougher measures against violence. and support

1:19 pm
they are being led by chancellor angela merkel and attended by leaders from slovakia poland the czech republic and hungary you're watching live pictures from there right now and the war divided balun from 1961 to 1809 and for generations of people it was a symbol of the ideological divide that spanned europe and its 4 was a pivotal moment in the events that brought down communism in eastern europe well let's go now to dominic cain our correspondent who is near affection of the warning bell and dominic talk us through what's planned for today and just how significant this day is for balance. well for berliners for germans indeed for europeans as you were saying this was a pivotal moment this was the moment that as it were symbolized the physical removal of a barrier which hadn't as it were despoiled this city and this continent for so long for 28 years and so for germans yes it is a transcendent moment for them it was the moment that precipitated the end of the
1:20 pm
the government of east germany people deciding that they would come to the wall this area which i'm at now is one of the areas where the best protected elements of the war remain understandably many people wanted to remove it completely but some elements were kept for historical purposes this is one such the point here is that this crystallized as it were the moment when east germans said enough is enough insofar as the events of today is a concern as he was saying in your introduction the chancellor angela merkel the president of germany also mr steinmeier are at a memorial ceremony in a different part of the city right now a place called better knowledge that is where when the wall was built back in august 1961 the wall went through streets and it divided people from their friends and families in a very serious and very real tangible way images viewers might recall of people jumping out of. the houses in the east the land on the street in the west so desperate was their desire to be free and so that's taking place right now and then
1:21 pm
later in the day there will be a special event being held at the brandenburg gate a an icon for all germans of germany a place where president reagan came in 1907 to say to the soviet leader mikhail gorbachev tear down this wall well this evening there will be a special ceremony there and musical festival as well where many people will be able to commemorate this iconic moment in german history and dominic 30 years on there are still plenty of divides in germany inequality racism the rise of the far right how united is the country today. well that's one of the things that is being spoken about by people once they say yes wasn't so wonderful this moment of joy in the night the november 1909 but what about the 30 years that followed well it's very clear there are some people who say that it was easy to remove the war physically but it wasn't so easy to remove the barrier in
1:22 pm
people's heads certainly that's being said by many people in berlin by many people in the east they look at the elections that have taken place in this country certainly in the eastern states of this country that's the federal republic the real unified germany over the past 4 years and they say yes the far left that's the link a party that's the party which whose ancestors used to govern east germany the communist party their ancestor plus of course as you were saying the f.t. the far right they say they look at these extreme parties and they think the extreme parties provide more of a solution to their perceived political problems than the mainstream there's certainly a feeling in other parts of east germany that the government in berlin the democratic government in berlin hasn't perhaps delivered on all the promises that predates the government's helmut kohl's government the man who was in charge of west germany who fast tracked reunification they say that well the governments his government and
1:23 pm
the ones after specifically the merkel government haven't quite delivered and that's why when they look at this from this this day of joy they say evidence also tends to with the 30 years of our experience. camera here we're watching a commemoration of and the. events for us today and alan thank you dominick. now ukraine's army and russian backed separatists are set to begin withdrawing more troops from the conflict zone in eastern ukraine it follows other retreats in the past month part of a series of measures aimed at ending a conflict that's killed more than 13000 people in the last 5 years and it comes a day after the international court of justice said it will hear a case filed by ukraine against russia it concerns moscow's alleged support of pro russian separatists in eastern ukraine let's take a closer look at the crisis in ukraine it all began in november 28th that dean when president viktor yanukovych refused to sign an association agreement with the e.u.
1:24 pm
mass protests then turned into a revolution and by february 24th teen going to covert and his government were removed and then in march of that russia annexed ukrainian region of crimea that set of pro russian protests in 2 eastern regions collectively known as the donbass those turned into a war between separatists backed by moscow and ukrainian forces then in october this year the separatists russia and ukraine signed an agreement to hold elections and create special status for the region well for more on all of these developments that we're seeing today we're joined by step vasant in moscow step what do you know about what's happening on the frontline in eastern ukraine right now. well it was uncertain until the very last moment if it was going to happen and it has been postponed a couple of times in the last week but at around 12 o'clock in ukraine 20 minutes or so ago white flares were fired from the separatist russian backed
1:25 pm
separatist area and also this was responded by a wide flare coming from the ukrainian side this signalled the beginning of the troops withdrawal from this front line the where hifi fighting has been going on for all those years and they have now 3 days to make this withdrawal complete and then this whole area which is full of mines will also 'd be de mind and this is of course a very important symbolic move to make sure that this peace process which has been stalled for also more than 3 years can get some movement again this is basically one of the preconditions these 3 troop withdrawals that have been happening in the last couple of weeks to make sure that the political process can start again which is the so-called normandie process where germany france ukraine and russia will sit at the table and make sure that there's going to be a peace deal and step does this whole move for this latest move that we're seeing does that mean that there's a greater possibility of a peace deal. well the big question is now how moscow is going
1:26 pm
to respond to this so lansky the new president in ukraine basically has put new life into this whole peace process they have been some very important movements in the last couple of months there has been a prisoner exchange there has been no phone calls between selenski and president putin but russia has been kind of reluctant to commit to this meeting of the normandy foremost because they said all these preconditions have you have to be match for us and also they were a bit reluctant to give zelinsky all the trust because he had also protests in his own country and ukraine people in ukraine they said that this is this peace process is basically giving you know sort of a copy to relation to russia because it might still have the domination by russia over this eastern ukrainian area so there's a lot of skeptical thoughts on both sides but now the ball is actually in the moscow court deciding if they want to continue this normandy format and when this
1:27 pm
meeting will be held steadfast in there for us in the russian capital thank you step. in a few moments we'll have the weather with everton about still ahead on out of there . i have a desire to prove that this country could be better when it has a government that doesn't lie as much on twitter as possible wrote. a big boost to brazil's left former president who had to sell the leaves prison after a supreme court ruling. and of course the world's most expensive football i give the date for his return from injury roll will be here with that story. thank. you. how there were as we heard earlier we have got lighter winds and cooler weather coming into eastern parts of australia over the next couple days but no sign of any
