my need to. africa uncensored and publish those things that people don't want to even if it doesn't knock the us truth is it anyway on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. elephant oh how everyone i'm kemal santa maria this is the news hour from al-jazeera an unprecedented voter turnout expected in hong kong local elections following months of protests will be live but one of the polling stations it's. also a heavy police presence in colombia's capital after 2 days of major protests of attacks and pension reforms more damning revelations in the impeachment inquiry the state department is forced to release documents showing donald trump's lawyer was in

close contact with the secretary of state over the ukraine affair and a call to action tens of thousands across from to the streets demanding tougher laws to stop violence against women. we're starting in hong kong where polls for local elections are due to open in the next 30 minutes this vote seen as a test for the pro beijing government following 6 months of demonstrations now with or she's have threatened to suspend voting if there is any serious disruption a record 4100000 people have registered to vote on kong's biggest turnout since the territory was returned to china from britain back in 1997 we'll take you live there in a moment 1st this report from rob mcbride. coming amid unprecedented unrest everyone agrees this will be an election like no other many seats are being contested by

a new generation of candidates some molded by the protest movement. and wing an independent is out on bail after being arrested and charged for unlawful assembly. people have been paying close attention to the process the excessive use of force by police and the arrests and they've been studying the views of the candidates on these things and making up their minds in a city of 7000000 people a record 4000000 have registered to vote. it's tough we don't know which side to take but beijing's in charge in any case the all signs indicate that the pro-democracy protests are poised to win a big victory come to go this is important for hong kong people it's like an opinion poll normally dominated by local issues this election will instead focus on the much bigger question of hong kong's relationship with mainland china with pro

china parties having the majority of seats up for election they are seen as having the most to lose given the groundswell of anti-government feeling pro-democracy candidates are contesting every seat with thousands of new young voters registering for the 1st time to probe aging camp seems to be bracing itself for losses this year the elections have been highly politicized and violence have become a central issue and there are people for and against so local issues won't be sidelined campaigning on streets that bad the scars of months of unrest leo chu is a candidate for the democratic party. he's not hopeful about the chances of this vote forcing the government to concede don't any of the protesters demands i do not have. a mistake of mine about they were care about the people. we both.

know but that it is. important to the international community that people people are thinking in hong kong. this ballot will likely prove the strength of feeling in this deeply polarized city the question then will be want to impact it has on the escalating violence macbride al jazeera. here's sarah clarke outside a polling station at a little after 7 am in hong kong what are the expectations for today we know already about how many people are registered but the threat of any disruption. in this particular district elections a local election it's considered a barometer of the public opinion towards the government's handling of this ongoing crisis the the protests that have lost around 6 months it's also brought into a test of public opinion on those protests is now and we spoke to

a commentator who's indicated that the pro-democracy groups my call back will make again some seats for the have a lot to claw back the pro-democracy approach establishment groups that have the majority of seats in these days district elections so it will take a lot for them to win back or take over that majority but certainly this particular election everyone is watching very closely and the government is expected to bear the brunt of the anger of the ongoing kind of chaos that we've seen in hong kong months ok sara leave it there for now polls opening at about half past the hour so we'll come back to you then if that's alright right now there we'll speak to emily lau who's joining us from halifax nova scotia canada she is the chairwoman of the international affairs committee of the democratic party in hong kong nice to have you with us what are your let's start with expectations for today you must be heartened i guess by the fact that so many people are registered to vote. yes indeed i think this is historic and also the fact that every seat is being

contested and that is also a resident it so i search again hope that many people will turn out to and. i hope the pro-democracy candidates will win many more seats and if they do that what happens what changes for hong kong or what could potentially change for hong kong well because the district council constitutionally has links to the legislative council end that to the chief executive election committee next year in september will be the election of the legislative council and 6 seats in the legislative council are related to the district council only district council is can nominate candidates for election and sole it will be very important eve if many of the seats are won by democracy candidates and even more

importantly in the chief executive election committee which only has $1200.00 seats but $170.00 will be will come from the district council it's so if whoever controls and what and how of the seats then maybe they can get their $117.00 seats and that of course would be a big worry for the government and for beijing. ok that leads me on to where i want to go because i want to try to understand a little bit more about the overall power what you've just described here is how a balance could change and how that could be a concern but still you know carol lam chief executive appointed by beijing she has beijing's woman there in beijing still in many ways has has the overall say. yes of course but as i said the chief executive is chosen by

a committee of 1200 people and out of 120170 chose the district chance of this they elect amongst them self's so if that group is dominated by people from the pro-democracy camp that of course would make the major a very wary that we could have more influence in the election of the chief executive. just finally and we are you confident that today can pass off relatively peacefully to i guess the idea that. the democrat the the democratic vote and the ability to actually vote will outweigh the protests which have taken over hong kong for so long. well i hope so we don't know i heard that somebody is organizing a march today and i certainly hope that all of these protests will take place

peacefully because it has clashes with the police and ok. the government may can so the election and that would be at will so i certainly hope but only now i mean can i just hope the people in holland park would calm down and give today a chance so that all of the voters whichever side gate which they want to vote saw they would want to come out to to go to the polling station and vote and they can to safe and that is very important and how important is it for hong kong on the global stage that this goes off relatively well and peacefully today because people have been watching this for 6 months and seen how it's turned from 2000000 people out marching in the street initially to a very violent at times violent movement exactly i think even though now i'm in halifax and. a lot of discussion centered on hong kong and the

participants of this forum and very interested concern about hong kong problems so the whole world is watching i'm sure there are many foreign correspondents in hong kong covering this election although it is a very just a local election and there are members to not have much power and so it is important that we manage to conduct this election peacefully and then of course we need to find no a resolution to the turmoil that's been going on for 6 months. emily lau we really appreciate your time on the very important day thank you so much for joining us thank you. we move to colombia now where antigovernment protests of continued in the country's capital for a 3rd day large groups of security forces patrolled the streets so they fired tear gas on thousands of protesters who gathered it followed an overnight curfew ordered

by president bouquet which was defied by the demonstrators who stayed on the streets they are angry over proposed reforms to the tax and pension system we'll check in with alessandro who's now in bogota as night has fallen and. how are things now compared to the pictures we were looking at earlier all of those of that tear gas in the protests. well we understand more of the same is happening in different parts of town as small groups of protesters are on the streets most of these are peaceful and they're happening without major issues but other ones if protesters try to march on the streets or block one of the roads they are immediately confronted.

quite violently by the police in and to get riot gear with tear gas with grenade bombs as we have witnessed earlier during the day we have now been able to confirm that at least one of these protesters was seriously injured by one of these stun grenades that hit them in the head he is now. under surgery in a hospital in downtown we understand that his condition is critical but under control so we're going to try to find out more about him in coming hours more people are also planning to repeat. demonstrations where people hit pots and pans in different parts of this city most of the violence seems to be happening when the protesters try to reach the government

buildings downtown if they stay for dinner now and in the plaza and don't try to move on the streets then seem to move on peacefully the good news is that we haven't seen any looting or vandalism that we've seen in the past couple of days and there has been no announcement of further curfews or other type of special measures as it happened on friday and. there will be i believe a national dialogue the president wants to start moving in next week with the i think it is your thoughts on how that might help and if it can even quell leads demonstrations. well corrected the problem there is that protesters are saying and even the leaders of the protests the unions that organized the national strike on thursday don't understand why do

case waiting until next wednesday to start did this conversation wait to unions with the leaders of the students given all that's been happening in time in other cities across the country. for example today mantz with leader and trooper nurse and their. owners of private business is talking about security in this city but everybody is asking why it will take 5 days for him to meet with the leaders of the protests given what's going on and what the protesters are saying is that he's really not interested in talking about the issues people are protesting about to which are the reforms to the pension system to do labor reforms that were announced by the government in some cases even just hinted to that have started everything that we're seeing and also the fact that the protestors say the government is not interested in truly changing views

towards the peace process is that was signed by the previous government of prime and was sent as with fire gravels in star seriously implementing that peace process that could they say reduce the violence that we've seen increasing again in rural parts of the country. is in bogota thank you for that. let's have a look at what's coming up for you on this news hour israel's prime minister is accused of holding the country hostage as his political rivals tell him to step down protests at one of india's most prestigious universities we'll tell you what students are angry with the government and in sports history for canada that's making russia 21 to reach their 1st ever davis cup final details with the u.s. of the delights of. developments in the impeachment inquiry now in the u.s. state department has released records related to its dealings with ukraine the

documents actually support testimony at the impeachment inquiry that several senior officials were in the loop on efforts to pressure kiev into investigating president trump's rival joe biden john hendren has more from washington. the cast of president donald trump's ukraine pressure campaign grows ever wider 100 pages of newly released state department documents show that secretary of state mike pump aoe spoke to president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani twice in march that was shortly before u.s. ambassador to ukraine maria vonn of h. was removed from office scott lucas says it's not hard to infer what they were talking about but the day before pompei a 2nd call with giuliani there was a time line prepared which set out all of the material about biden his son hunter and marie yvonne a bitch trying to set up in other words a paper trail for the secretary of state of these alleged alleged activities by

biden and yavanna bitch that weren't enough just wanted an investigation by ukraine the impeachment inquiry is looking into whether the white house engaged in a coordinated campaign to withhold nearly $400000000.00 in military aid to ukraine until the president of that country publicly announced that he would investigate president trump's chief political rival former vice president joe biden president trump denies the. accusation i want nothing. that's what i want for you that's what i said i want nothing the newly released documents support this damning statement from embassador gordon sunland was there a quid pro quo the answer is yes everyone was in the loop we kept the leadership of the state department and the n.s.c. informed of our activities and that included communications with secretary of state pompei o. the state department had refused to give those documents they were obtained through

a freedom of information lawsuit by the watchdog group american oversight now senate democrats are asking pump aoe in a letter to recuse himself from the state department's response to the impeachment inquiry pump ale was quick to respond i'm not going to accuse myself from this i know precisely what american policy was with respect to ukraine i was working on it and i'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished also joining in the circle of those implicated in the presidential pressure campaign is the president's top defender in the impeachment inquiry republican devin nunez clearly these little chris accusations don't reflect committee members who are honestly searching for the truth on saturday reports emerge suggesting nunez met with a disgraced former ukrainian prosecutor to find dirt on biden that is according to a lawyer for a businessman live parness indicted for his role in working with giuliani to prompt a ukrainian investigation of biden and his son if true the circle of all the president's men in the ukraine campaign just got bigger john hendren washington.

one of egypt's last independent news publications mother and master is appealing for the urgent release of one of its journalists a statement on its web site says police took from his home in cairo on saturday they also confiscated electronic equipment and documents related to his work that it's arrest is the latest sign of a widening crackdown on press freedom in egypt landslides have killed at least 36 people in western kenya and hit several remote villages in the county of west pocket after heavy rain rescue efforts are put on hold now because bridges and roads have been washed away. and people are still missing. israel's opposition leader benny gantz has once again called on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to resign over corruption charges it follows netanyahu saying on friday that he wouldn't step down over the 3 indictments calling it an attempted

coup more from tel aviv not with imran khan or against time to statement perfectly for the evening news and this was very much a message not just to the israeli electorate but to the likud party itself he actually spoke in that building just behind me here in the television expo center where he had an offer for prime minister benjamin netanyahu take a look at what you had to say i because. i call for unity government as large as possible i will be the prime minister for the 1st 2 years while netanyahu can deal with his legal issues it's clear he can come back as prime minister this is the only way to prevent an unnecessary election. so the idea is that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be a part of the government but he won't have any ministries and certainly won't be prime minister instead what benny gantz is just thing is that he fights his court cases and then once that is resolved that they can take a look at any idea of the power sharing agreement and anything that might take

place in the future between the good and the blue and white party whether that's going to be acceptable to netanyahu remains to be seen but the entire game at the moment seems to be avoiding a 3rd election we're in a period of about 17 days left where any member of the knesset can try and form a government if that doesn't happen then the country goes to a 3rd election which is what all the politicians seemingly are trying to avoid so this was not a generous offer to netanyahu but very practical one to try and avoid going to a 3rd election that see what the prime minister has to say about this offer he's also under a tremendous amount of pressure from within his own the khud party as well gideon saw is a pretender to the israeli throne and he says he wants the likud party to have a primary election an internal election and to choose a new leader and to move on with the process of forming a government so netanyahu under a tremendous amount of pressure right now has been renewed fighting between kurdish

find his and turkey backed forces in northern syria it happened in the town of. turkey launched an offensive against the kurdish led syrian democratic forces last month a truce was agreed in coordination with russia but small scale fighting has since continued well obviously was not done with the turkish minister of defense to discuss these ongoing operations in northeastern syria. or if it is meeting its objectives and spite of the international criticism over turkey's mission. 1000000000. dollars which gives him time to get him a sketch checklist given topic a chapter is about a kilometer past one of the national. talk to. get a cash machine. because. when you talk initially up to the. tyson.

love say her murder made them determined to help other victims of domestic violence so they teamed up and launched a telephone helpline they've been flooded with calls. when we saw how joanna had tried hard to get help her death made us think we have to do something we have to be heard there are some organizations that help but it's not enough. in our city join a story touched our shocked many people raise the awareness we hope our suspicion will get people talking and. it was outside her local supermarket the joanna tilly was fatally stabbed by her former partner in front of her 3 young children just weeks before her murder she filed a complaint with police but they'd done little to help. a woman is killed by her partner or ex partner every other day in france many others face daily physical sexual and emotional abuse campaigners say that even though violence against women

is widespread police judges and prosecutors rarely take it seriously every woman know because she heard that sure not nobody is going to listen to her though there is already the culture that if you go to the police you're not going to be understood you're not going to be listened and your case is going to be closed. for months sees activists in paris have been running an underground campaign after dark they put up antiviolence feminist messages in the street as. people realize that this is mass killing disguised as crimes of passion one of our messages says you will never kill because of love so we're raising public awareness and often women who are suffering violent tell us these messages help them to. the french government is working. no new legislation to tackle violence against women but campaigners say the proposal so far failed to address the root causes of the abuse they say what's needed is to change attitudes to women and better educate children

and adults domestic abuse often thrives because it is hidden these striking messages of bringing the problem out into the open where it can't be ignored the tasha partner al-jazeera paris. but in russia a small rally was held against a new bill which targets domestic violence russia doesn't currently have specific legislation for this type of violence but the new bill would crack down on her assessment and give stricter penalties for violating a restraining orders conservative critics say the law would represent state interference in family issues or many laws to protect women from domestic violence of met resistance from conservative groups in other countries russia as we mentioned there the kremlin said this month that men are more likely to be discriminated against in domestic violence investigations in australia a recent report sparked a debate over whether it's a male related problem or more closely connected to poverty and some western leaders are coming under growing criticism for sexist language that many believe

hinders the fight against domestic violence. beth makes is with the national network to end domestic violence and says there is a growing number of social platforms targeting laws against domestic abuse we do certainly see a rise at the moment in the number of there are speaking out about wanting to change domestic violence laws we have a number of people here who are part of the all right who masquerade as women's organizations part of the language and then asked legislatures to introduce bills that are actually drawn back women's rights so that's sort of a a new front here to have to fight against for a lot of violence that happens x. turn only it is born out of teaching violence internally right and so we've had surveys done here in various states that talk about 80 percent of the inmates that they're housing have experienced domestic violence in their lives

as they were growing up so. downplaying one for the sake of the other means that you're not able to address either appropriately it's not an other it's not a it's not a one or the other it's a book. that needs to be addressed. in the news ahead climate pressure in the pacific we travel to the tiny island nation of palau to find out what's at risk also a tribal trouble in sudan's red sea state as a curfew fails to come tensions and sports as a marine you're makes a winning start to life as the new tottenham manager and the as your sport a little later. hello again to welcome back what across the united states we are dealing with a weather system that is coming in out of the southeast and you can see the clouds

have registered to vote in this district election of these district elections now they surge or they increase has been in the 18 to 35 year old age group interestingly certainly the pro-democracy groups out there but candidates running in every single state that's a 1st elections and of course the promised average middle what we consider the groups that have the majority in this election for the 1st time in history we also have a $30000.00 strong police force manning running also any polling in expectation of potential clashes i want to die in historic votes in hong kong. and then what happens as far as. i know it's a long way away but results themselves do you get an indication later today or is this going to be a longer process. well the results we're expecting to see me before midnight i should have some idea of where the results public opinion of what

people are voting here but as you mentioned in record numbers the expectation is the majority will be held by the public step from a group simply because they have so many seats for the pro-democracy groups are expected to claw back some of those numbers and some of those elections and as i mentioned it's the 1st time the pro-democracy groups are running in every single seat but every it's a litmus test it's almost a barometer this particular election trying to assess where public opinion stands whether or not they support the government and its handling of this process or whether this support for the pro-democracy group that's behind this these protests have been ongoing now for more than 6 months. be very interesting sara clock with us from hong kong as the polls open there iran is restoring internet access after the government imposed a shutdown last week in response to widespread protests the demonstrations follow the government increase in fuel prices by up to 50 percent rights groups on the ground say internet connections still remain sponte in certain parts of the country

started attacking us one drew his sword and with one blow it cut off my hand ethnic violence broke out between the benny ahmed and the head then there were tribes in sudan's red sea state last week it was the latest incident in wave of outbreaks over the last 6 months health workers say more than 6 people were killed and more than a dozen injured it started after an opposition leader returned to the state which had been under a state of emergency for nearly 3 months witnesses say people from his tribe celebrated his return but that provoked tension and fighting. who's from the head then to a tribe was among those wounded he says he was stabbed with a knife. i was waiting for transportation and suddenly i was it's on the backward in life i did not know what side of the fighting at that sorry but everyone throughout their lives and source of fights. since june sporadic violence here has killed nearly 100 people and left more than 250 wounded according to health workers

2 packs have been fined in the past 2 months to try and contain the tribal tension but people here say they are worried they are temporary solutions to problems that go back decades. the people live in eastern sudan and also parts of neighboring eritrea but for decades other tribes have viewed them as outsiders and they accuse them of backing sudan's former government ousted in april after months of anti-government protests and while that government may have gone the rivalry hasn't sudan's new transitional government says it's working to resolve the problem but it will take time. for now we are focusing on the security solution because of the regular outbreaks of fighting between the tribes but the solution the long term solution has to be political and that would need all sides to sit down and dialogue so while we were working on the political solution we were addressing this by securing an increase in forces in the state to contain the situation. mohamed says

he hadn't expected to see such violence but he wasn't surprised it happened and he worries that have no political solution is found there will be more are bricks of violence and more lives lost people more going on just 0 portsdown. students that are leaving university in new delhi have been protesting against a planned increase in their housing fees they also allege the indian government wants to privatized hire and education and make it difficult for many to even attend university until vora has a report. thousands of students gathered in the heart of new delhi and demanded their right to affordable education they have been protesting for weeks since the university decided to increase the fee for their accommodation their leaders say as many as 40 percent of the students come from families who struggle to make a living i see. is a ph d.
