4:00 pm
this is al jazeera. hello i'm sammy say that this is the news hour live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. i'm making this statement clear here that will not. come kong's chief executive says the protesters are now the people's enemy this after one of the most violent days in the months long protests. accords rules the netherlands should help prepare 56 children born to wind so wives in syria. sanchez's socialist fall short of a majority in spain's general election after a surgeon's called for the far right. bolivia's resigns after weeks of protest
4:01 pm
elections but even more as his allies back his claim he's the victim of a coup i'm going to get your scope with the sport as a player is sent off the pitch in taiz despite him being the victim of racist abuse in ukraine. hong kong's chief executive says escalating violence will not make the government yield to pressure following one of the most violent days and months of protests and the most shocking incident some brightest caught frame of all electric onto a person and set him on fire. demanded me to your hospital in critical condition and the case is under investigation by regional crime unit of new territory. one demonstrator is in critical condition after being shot by police
4:02 pm
during protesters attempts to stop traffic entering the city center footage shows enough so drawing a gun while attempting to detail a masked man another man is also critically ill after being set on fire in a separate incident where demonstrators have been stopping vehicles rail traffic and blocking roads they say police are using excessive force against them the violence follows the death of a student on friday he died of his injuries after falling from a building during an earlier protest several opposition legislators were arrested over the weekend. let's go live now to sarah clarke in hong kong so how do the streets look now. for the moment where we are this is so i want to hone in the eastern point of of hong kong and where that protester was shot by live ammunition earlier on monday morning we still have these streets blocked off for this was part of the trial the transport of the traffic disruption which the protesters tried to achieve today and what they call the general strike
4:03 pm
now certainly we have on monk which is a home callen side away from here and we've had to the police fired tear gas i would have the water cannon use again tonight and they point to seem to be once again rallying at various points across hong kong but certainly from here where we are now the riot police have removed themselves and seem to be focusing on the calendar side for now but it has been a crazy day of violence or violent confrontations and communique also as well as traffic chaos a major highways have been closed at least 20 stations have also been closed and the protesters are now talking about a 2nd day of transport to rush a disruption that's on tuesday so that does go ahead we can certainly expect to see more confrontations between the police and those protests is again on tuesday. it looks from the videos which are emerging night seems a getting uglier is the sentiment and the intensity getting worse there.
4:04 pm
i think certainly the tensions have frayed on both sides are from the protest side even the public as well as the protesters and i think is this fragile situation has become even worse we are in our 5th month of demonstrations here but it seems like these protesters are once again ramping it up again and the transport chaos and the disruption on the roads and on the rail network today is certainly was quite widespread we know tear gas was also fired across at least 10 districts and that included a number of university campuses we do know that on tuesday those university campuses a number 3 at least will be closed. some schools also closed on monday simply because of this transport chaos so when it comes to either side backing down and neither side is showing any form of negotiation or stepping back and we had kerry lamb hold a very rare press conference on a monday not normally she has the weekly press conference on tuesday but today on monday she had a press conference saying she would not back down to the protesters demands instead she said the protesters are now the enemy of the people. all right sarah clarke
4:05 pm
there thanks so much live from hong kong she was a judge in the hague has ordered the netherlands to repair train more than 50 children of women who joined deisel in syria 23 women asked the court to allow their families to return due to deplorable conditions in the camp in northern syria the court found only the children must be sent back to the netherlands. joins us live now from behaved so take us through this ruling in particular why it found the children should come back but not the mothers. yeah there's a little bit more to it than that let me try and explain it's it is one of those rulings is going to be looked at very carefully i think by several european countries which are trying to work out how to balance these these these difficult considerations about what about what to do in this situation public opinion in many european countries is very much against these people but you know as the judge plainly pointed out in this hearing the children he said should be repatriated by
4:06 pm
the dutch government within 14 days the dutch have to demonstrate how they're going to try to do this but the other thing they said in relation to the women 'd is when whoever goes there to try to get the children out when they speak to the kurdish camp commanders if those kurdish commanders say you're only going to have this child if their mother goes with them then they've got to take the mothers as well and so in that sense the court actually put the onus on to the kurds to try to figure out what what what they're going to do so in that sense for the law as written the family is there regarding it is pretty good news even if the dutch. government doesn't actually want to try to bring these people back let's go to someone who's been facts about this who's who whose cousin is in the come and of course your cousin hasn't got any children so this actually doesn't affect her does it so you're disappointed by this exactly i'm very this point about this case. my cousin she don't have children but. the condition of the health condition of my cousin is very bad this moment now and you've always maintained the shoes she was
4:07 pm
suffering mental health problems when she was before the before we were just persuaded to go that like exactly my cousin she traveled twice to syria the 1st time she came back from syria to to amsterdam airport you took a passport exactly i have a passport here you can see it is a passport i took it back and we as a family we did everything to stop her and say thanks the police to try to stop this early we ask support from the dutch government from the police but nobody takes responsibility because their answer was yes she's not danger for herself and not for others we can do nothing about it and was puzzled for her to travel for the 2nd time to syria and now to do you think she went there with a view to facing with i still will not i can say nothing about it but what i can say is she was very sick before she travels she was one year in an medical center and she had medicine for her mental condition the government they knew that and
4:08 pm
and we asked for support we ask them please help us because she. she going to get to a group of beasts of radical people who go to. abuse her situation and we as a family did everything we went to the police we went to the government everything but the dutch come in this and is going to make any attempt to bring her back into all of it i have hope so we're going to talk with our lawyer about the situation and i hope manatee branch she can. come back because she don't drink she don't eat she is alone and her mental situation is very bad at this moment. thank you very much of the look at that good luck with all that the purpose of the problem just just just but just by way of wrapping up is really that so many european governments are so front to public opinion in their own countries this is we don't want these people back that they're actually trying not to do it and when you see what we've seen just just the last day or 2 the turkish military is literally
4:09 pm
rounding people up and deporting them and the lawyers for the families here saying that the americans have offered to go into whole camp and pick these people out and bring them up and deport them for us it's almost easier for these european governments who outsource the issue than to try to do it themselves i suspect now the dutch are going to have to be speaking to one of the other actors to see about getting all these children back. thanks so much lawrence lee there. in turkey state media says the deportation of captured i saw fighters has begun one american has been repatriated and more and more german fighters are expected to be sent home on thursday president or edge of tiber the one says more than 1200 deisel prisoners are being held in turkey and 280 in syria ankara has warned fighters will be repatriated even if their citizenships have been revoked in their home nations. also ahead on the news hour including nigel reveals the braggs that parties

strategy for the u.k. general election. lebanon's banks tried to reassure their public as their workers for a pair to go on strike and trouble in we'll hear from the eventis coach after he says now he's some tristana again that's coming out in sports. spain's ruling socialist workers party has won the largest share of votes but fallen short of a majority after the 2nd general election this year acting prime minister pedro sanchez his party won a total of $120.00 seats the foreign vox party saw its support surge to almost double april's result john holl has more from madrid. an election that was meant to break spain's political deadlock looks eve anything like it may have deepened it pedro sanchez the socialist party leader said he would begin immediately
4:11 pm
negotiating a progressive coalition will have his work cut out for him reaching out initially of course to you need you need us most on the far left they've said they'll help him but that won't be enough he may need to reach further to the pro independence parties of catalonia who together have enjoyed their best result in a spanish election ever winning a combined 23 seats he need only be asking them to join some sort of a voting pact to support key pieces of government legislation like a budget but even that will be deeply controversial in the country and extremely fragile and see that against the rise of popularity for parties on the right complicating matters further not just the former comes old conservative party the people's party but also a doubling more than doubling of the seat count for the far right vox party put all of that together and things look much more difficult for pedro sanchez back. pulling away with a fragile coalition of the left but i think it is that rise of the far right that
4:12 pm
will overshadow this election more than anything else a party a far right party that only entered the parliament in april the 1st time a far right party has been in politics here since the days of franco now showing no sign of going away it has become spain's 3rd largest political force. pro separatist protesters from catalonia have blocked a major highway that connects the spanish region with france stopping traffic in both directions the protest was organized by a new organization called tsunami democratic catalonia was wrong by demonstrations of the spain's supreme court sentenced 9 of its separatist leaders to prison over a failed independent spirit in 2017 the jaime joins us live from the france spain border so i'm trying to judge looking behind you looks like traffic is still ground to a hold by the protesters right. the route to the
4:13 pm
hold on this highway and it's going to be like this for the next 3 days at least that's according to democratic tsunami this online group that is behind it have actually called for civil disobedience 3 days of civil disobedience starting today and it actually told his supporters to take days off from work back their backpacks with things like power banks for their mobile phones some warm clothes just day here and along bring some food so this is something that is just starting actually just behind me on this side kind of a food kitchen people were queuing to get a hot cup of soup and then on. stage now that stage is smack in the middle of the highways to any traffic trying to go from france to spain on this road is not going to be able to happen there's been we've seen very little police presence just
4:14 pm
a few her spanish police men on this side we're told there's also further down that lane because this queue of part cars or maybe all coming from across the border in spain stretches for at least a kilometer deep bench of france and at the end of that there are 7 french police vans unless there's an effort by the police to remove these people. well there are staying here for the next 3 days democratic tsunami saying that it will also announce similar actions elsewhere in the catalan region we still don't know it all happens online right suddenly but expect to hear more accept civil disobedience in the coming hours or days but i want to we know about this secretive new organization and its ability to mobilize people. we don't know actually who's behind this organization who is supporting it or
4:15 pm
who's working for it we have been several reports of some of this more senior leaders like the former president carter's dimona and the current one came torah hat maybe are backing this democratic tsunami somehow but this strength really of this group is that it's all operating through distant bespoke apple is available at the moment only for android phones no i phones and the company kate's sort of i talk li. of people wanting people to organize in neighborhoods and to come up with these pop up actions. all right hold on the thanks so much. the u.k. is braggs it party leader says his party will not run candidates in more than 300 seats held by the conservative party nigel farage says it's a move to ensure and he brings the parties there when the december 12 election. i
4:16 pm
have got no great love for the conservative party addle but i can see right now that by giving boris half a chance by keeping him honest and holding him to account by getting people in and by stopping the fanatics in billable democrats who signed us up for everything with a united states of europe european army you know you met i mean they even want to revive the result of the referendum no i think our action this announcement today prevents a 2nd referendum from happening and that to me i think right now is the single most important thing. from. paul brown joins us live from london so that's a bit of a turnaround for nigel farage compared to what he's been saying in the recent weeks why what prompted it. or just a bit of a temper out of fact colloquially here in the u.k. we're 'd probably call it a massive reverse ferrets given the screeching u.
4:17 pm
turn that he's just gauged in politically i mean it's just a week ago that he said that what boris johnson the prime minister was offering was not breakfasts and that he couldn't survive by it now he says nigel farage says that this is far as johnson has made some changes some clarifications and this is a bit lawlike the bracks if that nigel farage was hoping to achieve the significance is probably going to be profound i mean from a conservative point of view boris johnson will be very relieved that the pro bracks it votes in many of those constituencies that the conservatives will be contesting is not going to be split between those who subscribe to nigel farage is rather purist rex's vision and the conservatives offering of this deal the forest johnson put together so the conservatives will be celebrating that said though nigel farage has said that he will still contest labor seats so and it remains to
4:18 pm
be seen what the impact of that will be because you know there are labor seats are given example ashfield in the east midlands majority $441.00 in favor of labor now that was a 70 percent leave vote and if the breadth of party contests that seat up against the conservatives then theoretically you could say well the labor party would still win because the brits it was in a labor held seats would be split so although it appears as though it's good news for the conservatives it might mean the conservatives don't lose any seats as a result of a split vote it remains to be seen whether it could actually jeopardize and sabotage the conservative hopes of taking seats from other parties such as labor in the liberal democrats polled brand that thanks for that. bolivia's president has resigned after weeks of protests against his reelection in a disputed vote there were more alice says his removal was a coup russia is backing his allegations in condemning opposition protests but

rights of the shores of called ethnic cleansing were asked year mean more rejected a u.n. report is calling for top generals to be prosecuted for genocide labeling the allegations as false. reed brody works at the international commission of jurists and joins us now from barcelona good to have you with us so 1st of all do you think the i.c.j. is going to take up this case well they have to earn its diction to hear the case both. gambia and myanmar are members or parties to the genocide convention and in gambia this case alleges. burma myanmar has violated the convention and what's interesting here is that gambia is far away it's not affected but what the i.c.j. has said in other cases is that the obligations under the genocide convention not
4:23 pm
to commit genocide can be enforced by any party to the genocide convention including a small democratic faraway country like gambia and precisely on that point how notable is it that it's the gambia that is raising this case not one of the world powers not the usual you know champions of human rights around the world a tiny country in africa is doing what human rights reports and as i referred to even the un report was calling for. well i think it's very positive dad a smaller poor country like gambia takes up this case you know it shouldn't be just the powerful countries and the rich countries who determine who has to live up to international law and not i think it's really to gambia has created that even this it's going through its own very painful truth
4:24 pm
commission process of examining past atrocities by the previous dictator that gambia has that kind of solidarity to take a bold move like this to defend the rohingya muslims 7000 miles away it's that kind of international solidarity that we don't see you see often enough these days. as we know from what happened with ice and. rule with international routings visit the doll for in sudan the wheels of international justice sometimes move very very slowly down days and the thing that the i.c.j. can do in the media that will have impact on people's lives absolutely the gambia has requested what are called provisional measures which are like an injunction so normally a case of the i.c.j.
4:25 pm
takes years but they are expecting the court to rule on the injunction on the preliminary measures within a matter of months and what they're asking for is for me and maher to halt all its activities that violate the genocide convention and to stop the burning of villages to stop the murders to stop the rapes and to do what needs to be done right now to prevent further genocide from jake in place. thank you so much for your analysis of reverdy. state of emergency has been declared in the australian state of new south wales as firefighters battle wildfires verities have warned of a catastrophic threat people living on the outskirts of sydney are being urged to leave their homes emergency crews say high temperatures and strong winds of fueling the flames at least 3 people have died and thousands of been left homeless let's

4:32 pm
a political stalemate the economist was telling me is it's not a question if the economy is going to collapse it's a question of whether we can stop it from collapsing you have political bickering you have the elites not agreeing on who's going to go in the interim cabinet the government before that can happen no one is going to be implementing any economic reforms you did hear from the governor of the central bank that capital controls were not in place that has to do with limits on transferring funds etc but there is a de facto capital control in place each bank limiting their own we've been talking to people throughout the last week or so each bank has its own limits particularly foreign transfers almost impossible to transfer any kind of money out of the country and that's even for businessmen wanting to pay for goods and services to. important internet so it has. and it's extraordinary how we're now $26.00 days into these protests room it's 2 weeks since the prime minister resigned and there's been no indication of a formation of
4:33 pm
a government so they can really start tackling these these hard issues and start implementing these reforms so it's a wait and see situation to someone else just now who said you know we're in this for the long war it seems there's no accordance no agreement at the elite level and that means that everything is out of luck and certainly people's remains on the streets were outside the central bank not many people here right now but i can tell you that the longer this is going to go on for the people will continue to come out to say that things need to change but very very unpredictable and some people will tell you dangerous times here in lebanon as the political process can't seem to find any agreement. all right thanks so much stephanie deck of the. runs for president says his country won't abandon the 2015 nuclear deal as it could risk jeopardizing the lifting of u.n. sanctions speaking to crowds at a rally in the southeastern province of counterman hasan rouhani explained why iran is staying in the agreement that's despite the us withdrawing last year and
4:34 pm
imposing new unilateral sanctions on the country while since then iran has been reducing its commitments the deal. since the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal many people in iran encouraged us to also abandon but by staying in the j. c.p.o. way next year we will achieve a big political and defensive goal that is we will be able to buy and sell arms on the international market again after years of un sanctions and the year 2020 the united nations arms embargo on iran will be lifted. the u.s. is calling for early elections in iraq and an end to violence against protesters security forces again opened fire on demonstrators on monday killing at least 9 people at least 325 people have been killed across the country since protests erupted in october demanding political reform iraq's parliament has been discussing the issue on monday well a gem jhoom has more from baghdad. tensions are currently rising in some of the

4:36 pm
assistance mission for it off they put out a statement just yesterday in which they proposed a several proposals to try to in the crisis here and off one of them is to try to pass electoral reform another them is to release protesters that have been detained since the protests began and also prosecute those responsible for violence in these protests areas and now one of the more interesting things with regard to today is the fact that i don't experiment is currently meeting and although and many people here in baghdad had expected that the parliament might be taking up the issue of electoral reform or what we've heard since the parliament sort of meeting is in fact that the president's office has submitted or finalize a draft for electoral reform that they are then going to submit that to the cabinet and then the cabinet must approve that and then submit it on to parliament so there's really no indication what kind of timetable we're looking at when it comes to getting any kind of concrete steps for electoral reform or an electoral reform law and that's something that's clearly frustrating demonstrators who say that they

has been the strongest the voice on the kind of support china but not without criticisms and for greece it's had a special place china can actually offer a lot of help to solve some of its immediate problems and also to help it to achieve its long term goals. in terms of the data issues are china's willing to provide financial aid we don't talk about a graphics that start much anymore but fundamentally the risk is still there and for sure for the 2 countries they're both they're all civilizations and that is some crying commentary by this kind of old civilization in today's world and that's very actually unique relation. cambodia's opposition leader has made his 1st media appearance since he was put under house arrest more than a year ago. was arrested for treason in 2017 but a cause is restrictions on him on sunday that decision came as the can both be in
