something that many politicians that we've spoken to have completely denied that there was no order of a rest against him then what alice also said that it hurt to leave him for political reasons he's also been tweeting and saying that this is a result of a quote atop his. regional allies as in he got out of cuba. have said that they support this version quoting mexico that this is a coup to top but many critics there and here are saying that the so-called as they say is not the focus the focus is that there was an extraordinary fraud during the elections of a covert 20 and that should be the case. in the country given all the political. well what we're seeing here in the capital of fast is is incredible the streets are basically

empty we are seeing that there's explosions on and off there's also is the sirens on and off frequently more so now that it's nighttime we have seen patrols of the military who are doing joint operations from today with the police we have seen videos of the police that were completely overwhelmed asking for real and really air forces to join in to help them out they had to retreat they could not deal with protesters we have seen videos also of protesters in the area of the city of atlanta which is where the airport is higher up than. of thousands of. ponchos with batons calling for. for a civil war as they were saying something that they you know that this is something

that they were in a situation where everyone is frustrated but the situation is indeed very volatile. meeting of the organization of american states on tuesday to discuss bolivia u.s. president donald trump has weighed in saying his departure sends a message to venezuela. that democracy will always prevail. the 1st message from u.s. officials a day after and as bolivia's president the political violence between all classes of the bolivian population needs to stop and needs to stop right now officials also told reporters during a background briefing on monday that they do not consider what happened politically inside libya to be a coup against evil monsters government they say that today believe that a report put out by the organization of american states or oas would confirms what

they had been. more honest and members of his government fired to the road the october 20. 8th they do not believe that anyone who is a member of. political party who was involved in what they're calling an electoral fraud should be allowed to stand to replace him as the new president when elections are held perhaps in the next 90 days finally these u.s. officials also said that they are very concerned about the rule of law being respected but they said it is noteworthy that the military obeyed the law that it been recently passed basically preventing them from getting involved in the security situation because of longstanding historical fears of another military taking power america's oldest living president has been admitted to hospital in atlanta 95 year old jimmy carter sent to london a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain from bleeding after

a series of recent fools who served as u.s. president 977 to 981. hong kong's leader kerry has labeled protesters as extremely selfish and says they're trying to paralyze the city demonstrators are now setting up barricades to stop traffic heading into the city center in the past few days that been some of the most violent protests and rallies began 5 months ago a pro beijing supporter was set alight and the not to vist was shot by police while difficult holland joins us live now from hong kong so this is the 2nd time the hong kong leader carol lam has spoken in 2 days what would she have to say earlier. that's right there and she also spoke yesterday i said as you said after one of the most violent days of protests we have seen so far she said the protesters think their violence will force the government's hand and get them to give in to their demands that it's wishful thinking today she pretty much put all all the onus on

the protesters as you said calling them selfish and saying that their action is not going to result in any government's concessions she also had a very reassuring speech there are what she seemed to think was a reassurance speak to the hong kong public saying that the transport departments and other government institutions are trying to get hong kong's infrastructure back on track but while she's saying this we're also hearing that several m.t.r. the metro stations are closed there's been tear gas fired in them that is one of the main ways people commute in and out of the city we're also hearing that the protesters are carrying on with their blockades when i asked protesters here earlier about kerry's speech and what she had to say just about an hour ago they pretty much just lofts and develop protests now happening during the week as well as you've been saying so much so what can we expect to happen today that.

that's right there's been a call for our protests across the city blockades a general strike as they're calling it trying to paralyze the city now let me just tell you a little bit about where i am i'm in front of one of the universities this university wasn't involved in the protests before but this morning after blockades were set up police came in for a tear gas trying to disperse the protesters and since then the that come back and set up even more blockades it's hard to understand exactly what the police are trying to or right police are trying to achieve here they came just about a few minutes ago with this major operation far in tear gas firing beanbags trying to get the protesters is 1st but within 5 minutes they all jumped back in their vans and left again protesters once again have set up their barricades and are here again so it seems like today is going to be yet another day of what we've been seeing these cats and mouse games that police riot police and the protesters not just here but in several universities meanwhile going back to caroline she has 2 universities to discourage their students from taking part in these protests saying

that they should not be saying pardon the violence that doesn't seem to have made much of a difference about 10 universities have shut down have to stop classes for the day i also want to make a point is what we're seeing here not just protesters or students from the universities we're also seeing people working people who have decided that they are going to support the protesters here or a difficult problem in hong kong develop thank you new bushfires have broken out across eastern australia sydney's now shrouded in smoke has soaring temperatures in the high winds fanning flames towards its outer suburbs the region's been designated a catastrophic fire danger on tuesday up to 600 schools and colleges have also been closed moving 70 fires are burning across the state of new south wales. under those sorts of conditions there is a significant amount of unpredictability instability and aggressive far behavior and far spread you we know that under $100.00 days of catastrophic if

a far starts and takes hold if we are not there so quickly that we can bring it under control if it takes hold we are not going to stop it we are not going to control farmers and a catastrophic conditions have the ability to develop and grow extremely quickly. thomas has more now from 70. authorities in australia are well used to these bushfires and they have a 6 point scale of which catastrophic is the very highest warning level that they can issue and it's based largely on weather conditions on tuesday is expected to be very very hot high thirty's right across new south wales and parts of queensland as well the winds are likely to be very very strong already they're picking up but they're gusting later on today as predicted at 80 even 90 kilometers an hour and there is a lot of very dry fuel for the fires to burn means trees that means shrubs that haven't had water for months and months there's been a serious drought right across southeastern australia in recent months and years

all these things combined mean conditions are as bad as they can get on the one hand it's about fires that are already burning and there are more than 50 across new south wales alone and an increasing number of those already on tuesday are going out of control the authorities have not managed to contain them and they are beginning to impact on people's homes and playful places of work and that's one concern the other concern is that new fires start in the winds for example power lines can fall over sparking new fires and once a fire starts in these winds and in this heat it's very very hard to put them out the big concern is around the suburbs of sydney sydney a very highly populated city but it's largely been carved out of the bush as it's called in australia and the concern is when i meet people that's when you lose lives so authorities are doing all they can't issue. warnings to get people to think about what they're going to do with the head of time to evacuate and to be extremely conscious of even the smallest box and to put those out fast because once

burning in these conditions it's almost impossible to put them out. time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back a court rules the netherlands must be outraged the children of dutch woman who joined eisen in syria but it's unclear what will happen to the mothers plus how doctors in the democratic republic of congo are trying to eliminate a boner by the end of the year more on that stay with us. we have an arctic blast rolling out of canada down across a good part of the united states beneath this massive cloud sinking further south as we are going to see some significant snow for many a temperature records look set to be broken look at the temperatures they are very disappointing minus 6 the top temperature in chicago on tuesday off named kansas

against iran in may iranian president hassan rouhani told his country's atomic energy organization to start rolling back its commitments under the deal in july terence said it planned to cross and richmond limits and confirmed it was stockpiling more low enriched uranium than was allowed under the agreement and last week iran declared it was enriching uranium to 5 percent that's a level that means it can be used for nuclear power and is in excess of the limit outlined in the 2015 deal well hillary ban leverett is a former u.s. state department official she says it's a calculated move by terra. i think it's intended by iran to raise the stakes intended to force the united states to force the european union to force even china and russia to take iran situation much more seriously keep in mind that no other country not even iraq under saddam hussein in the 1990 s. after it had made it quaid not even iraq was under such crippling sanctions that

iran is under even iraq then was able to sell its oil for food iran can't even do that so what iran is doing is an attempt to force the international community not just the european union but the united states and even china and russia to take iran situation more seriously and in some ways it has we have seen the french move to increase its negotiating position we've seen the japanese we've seen even the united states and the united arab emirates move more toward a negotiated settlement with iran it's still very far off and it's a high cost high risk game but i think it's $1.00 iran thinks it must do to break the same chance at least 7 people have died and 70 more injured after 3 blas hits a kurdish town in northeastern syria the explosions in the town of chemistry which borders turkey because by compound in a shopping street state news media says the 3rd explosion happened near a hotel and recently has been the scene of multiple explosions since the start of

turkey's offensive into northern syria turkey's interior ministry says the country has begun a program to repatriate captured eisel fighters an american and german were deported on monday with a danish national expected to follow fighters from on in france and the netherlands a shuttle to be deported in the coming days officials say a $1200.00 eisel fight has come to being held in turkish prisons. meanwhile a dutch court has ordered the netherlands to repatriate more than 50 children of women who join dyson in syria 23 had asked the court to allow their families to return home from our whole camp in northern syria but as launching reports now from the hague the judge ruled the mothers need not be sent back figuring out what to do with women and children associated with the enemy isn't a new problem for a country but when you bring i sill into the equation it becomes hugely controversial. at issue in the netherlands what to do about $23.00 dutch women and their $56.00 children under the age of 12 many born in the vast desperate el whole

camp in northern syria their families have demanded they be brought home the government had said no thanks excel than i was even a kindler and for ordering in his ruling the judge demanded that the dutch state had achieved see to show it was trying to repatriate the children and their mothers to if the kurdish come command has said so and all within 14 days so if the kurdish resort authority saying we're only willing to give back the children if the dutch authorities also take back the women then that's the way it has to be and that has been the kurdish position until now they won't give any children unless the mothers are also brought back among the women there is child who was a little girl was as innocent looking as anyone but a family say she suffered mental health issues growing up was targeted by eisel supporters in the netherlands and persuaded to go to syria to be a bride so a fighter and this is chatty and now she lost

a foot in the explosion but she doesn't have children and so she's stuck her family a devastated we had her passport when we saw that she was running for 2nd travel to syria for the possible to wait for yes of course every family did that dutch government don't get their responsibility again they said yes there are there is not our problems and it's very hard to to hear that so what might the dutch government do now putting the onus on the dutch authorities to go into northern syria to get these women and children out is one thing whether the dutch are actually prepared to do it themselves is something else again because they've always said it's too dangerous but the americans have in some a say to that they're prepared to go into al hole to perform the task for them very likely then that the dutch will be trying to outsource their own problem the big problem in any number of european countries is public opinion which overwhelmingly insists anyone who went to syria within the last 5 years knew exactly what they were doing and should lose their rights assuming they are brought home the next

question will be what to do with them lawrence lee al jazeera the hague. doctors in democratic republic of congo have told al jazeera they hope to reduce the number of the both cases to 0 by the end of the year more than 2000 people including 160 health workers have died since the most recent outbreak began last year catherine saw reports from mangina where the 1st case was diagnosed. i seem about what is known as an airball a contact trace off from the north eastern city of beni in the democratic republic of congo she looks for people who have come in contact with a ball of patience and mourn and has their health for $21.00 days but that equals fast morning stop is the home of a woman who's they but died of the disease this month and then another neighbor where tended the burial this is not an easy job well you know if you go in and out sometimes people are hostile others go into hiding or don't give their proper address but we explain to them that what we're doing is for their own good the

a decisive time it's making us reflect on what we are and what we want to become we need to feel empowered and also take responsibility for the solutions to our demand is. one of them is a new constitution in nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests it's widely being seen as indispensable to pave the way for structural changes to chile's free market system. the current constitution was imposed in 1980 under the pinochet dictatorship and. the model of the 1980 constitution hands education health social security and labor relations over to the private sector the state plays a minimal role so people are feeling abused by a constitution that instead of benefiting the collective needs tends to concentrate resources in a few hands without providing the necessary services. but other experts argue that the current constitution is not to blame rather the laws and public policies that

have failed to meet people's needs. i'm not saying this is a new constitution can't improve the magna carta but i fear that will be a huge play. between people's expectations and the reality of what the constitution came and can't do. after nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests it's widely being seen as a necessary step to pave the way for structural changes to chile's free market system. but for many that's no longer enough former presidential candidate. says peña that must call for early general elections before chile can tackle a new national charter. but we need to legitimize social changes by turning to our citizens they inevitably an unnecessarily must be consulted actively and that starts by letting them choose who will represent them. the undemocratic origin of chile's current to magna carta is indisputable like

a new one will not rectify all the country's wrongs but it may be a good way to start over to boost the tarnish legitimacy of the country's democracy you see in human al-jazeera santiago. around the world have witnessed a rash show as not korea passed a record between earth and the sun the smallest planet in the center system could be seen as a tiny black disk as it traveled across the sun john hendren reports now from chicago. around the globe in fair weather and foul astronomers turned their telescopes to the sun was this little dot right here on monday the sun shone a little less brightly as mercury transited across it leaving a freckle of darkness on the message star for a small planet that's a pretty big deal transit or mercury is cool because it just doesn't happen all that often. a transit occurs when a planet like mercury or venus crosses face of the sun as seen from earth. every

century it only occurs from mercury 13 times there are only 2 planets between the earth and sun the last time mercury was visible crossing the solar face was in 2016 the next in 2032 transits a venus or even rarer if you missed it in 2012 and want to see it live healthily it won't happen again till 2117 for centuries when mercury transited the sun nobody noticed because it's so small by comparison to give you an idea how small if this is the size of mercury that is the size of the sun. by watching the way planets cross the sun in our solar system scientists are able to identify new planets or exile planets in others more than 4000 exoplanets have been discovered since 1992 universes billions of years own this like human life is only so short and there's only so many things we can see in our share amount of time so for me it's like

being able to see as much as bad our universe as possible and learning more about the universe by watching a pinprick of darkness crawl across the sun helps those of us here on earth understand a little better how we fit into it john hendren al-jazeera chicago. tartuffe a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera in the coming hours bolivia's former presidents due to land in mexico he's been granted political asylum in amman has resigned on sunday the military demand that he step down it's been weeks of protests following his disputed reelection marianna sanchez as more nothing less. he is on his way to mexico mexico but at the foreign minister of mexico said that they sent a plane that belongs to the government of mexico to secure a safe passage of the former president there they have a tradition of granting asylum so that's what they have done with president former
