we're going. to call al-jazeera investigations diplomats for sale. a landmark victory for hong kong's pro-democracy leaders after months of protests against beijing's influence remarkable achievement in the election. of hong kong. hello i'm martin dennis or without you there live from doha also coming up government supporters in beirut attacked protests is blocked roads to demand political change. the death toll rises from kenya landslides we look at the scale of the salvage mission. a new evidence emerges of china's repression of more than

a 1000000 illegals. anti-establishment candidates in hong kong of one an overwhelming majority in council elections voters turned out in record numbers in support of pro-democracy parties the territory's chief executive kerry lamb has promised to listen humbly beijing has reaffirmed its support for her and the foreign minister reiterated that hong kong is part of china no matter what happens in the elections sarah clock reports. as dawn broke hong kong to a new political landscape all than 70 percent of voters cast their ballots in sunday's district council elections the pro-democracy party secured a record number of seats a lot of people actually sacrificed a lot of the base of our lot in the last 6 months to actually get this result and

i think people are very. united and they're. to actually try to win something joshua long was disqualified for running but his party claim victory in his electorate unseating the incumbent post councilor remarkable achievement in that district election. as to our faults of color especially. protester a hotline for lying there's the pray the price span the time or even sacrifice in the protest movement until now the probation parties held the majority in the district councils but anger against the government eroded their support they've apologized to the public for misreading the vote those aligned to the post camp say it's a nightmarish result and the city's government will need to reassess the people's demands have spoken quite loudly and clearly haven't so i believe what we now do is

such a call to 5 major demands and whether any of them can be dealt with by the more satisfactory than before the district council elections are traditionally and on a vengeful poll but after 6 months of anti-government demonstrations and increasing violence this election was considered a barometer of public support for the protesters this is a win for the protesters that could be a point for them to say we've we've i reference on the street have converted into a tangible political outcome of this is a good opportunity to step back and take stock and and think about what next for the protest movement so it may see a period of relative calm for hong kong after a very turbulent 6 months the pro-democracy movement celebrated their victory on monday but some protests is rallied to show their support to those who are still holed up inside the polytechnic university for more than a week the district council vote comes ahead of the midst of council election next year sunday's record turnout is considered a message from voters to reopen the discussion on the city's political reform the

government now has 10 months to make changes before voters go to the polls once again sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. well another of correspondents in hong kong has got hired and he's joining us live and scott many people there for today speculating as to the position of kerry lam the chief executive of south but we're hearing from the. china least mousing was of support. they have been marking this is something that they've done pretty much straight on through these almost 6 months protest and really challenge to her her leadership her government but repeatedly beijing has backed her and you know they don't always say they don't always make it public that there is behind her and her decisions but the influence and the power is there there was back on october 1st which is national day in china they actually even flew her up there for the celebrations in beijing this kind of a you know very overt gesture to show that they still do support her and even

through this election you know as we heard that china is saying that you know despite the elections here despite any election in hong kong hong kong is still part of china so from beijing standpoint regardless of these poll numbers these record poll numbers and the outcome china is still sticking with kerry lam in the sticking with their one country 2 systems and skulk despite this an overwhelming victory in tez disease district council seats how will this change is a tool the way home kong the city is wrong given the past this power has shifted on this local level to the president has he can. well on 40 the needle well if that the power needle if you will inside the government won't be moved that much that's because the district council doesn't have much power they're really kind of the lowest rung when it comes to politicians here in hong kong they deal mostly with very local issues trash collection road repairs parks those kinds

of things so they won't really have much of an influence in the legislative council that's the parliament here in hong kong but what it will do is obviously what it has done over the last couple days and this is why it can be interesting to see what happens in the coming days the people have spoken and they have said that they want to change this is the only way for hong kong is to actually voice that change this is the only real one person one vote situation here in hong kong so they've sent a message. now the power behind that message is much bigger than the power that these politicians will actually have an actually just a quick note martin we're here of paul technical university this is where those students we expect about 20 estimated 20 still in this university protesters they have been there for about 9 days now some of those politicians those pro-democracy politicians that won their seats on sunday they're going to bare here and 5 has been kind of nominated to try to go inside to be polytechnic university and talk to some of those protesters still in there we're hearing they've gotten permission from the police to go in they haven't entered yet but again 5

a delegation if you will will go in they came here initially to show support and it sounds like they are going to be going in very soon you can see those images now you know what we're going to get out of this it's a big question you know when we talk about a seed situation here the university has been wrong the by police any protesters that come out they surrender and they're arrested so it will be interesting to see what these politicians are able to do and what they're going to say when they come back out party all right scott thanks very much for that we are looking at that lycinus scott just mentioned not very far away from where he is at that university which of course the scene has been the scene of perhaps in a sustained and perhaps miss vaughan and exchanges between the riot police and demonstrators we understand are still saying about 20 perhaps 30 students for the most powerful demonstrators at least all still holed up inside and that is one of the legislators one of the new council members who is having one seat is apparently

trying to go in that. talk to those who remain the demonstrators who remain inside the universe he would keep an eye on that situation but in the meantime andrew thomas is correspondent and he's got more now on reaction. being here in beijing you wouldn't know that these elections really had happened let alone that the results of doubts in the way that. they have now the media in china the state media was talking about these elections in the run up to them and even at the last minute they were saying that the high turnout suggested people coming out to big numbers to support stablished parties or clearly they were expecting these elections to go the other way and to be able to use that essentially to say this been a referendum on the chaos and the violence has been condemned by the people that hasn't happened and as a result the media is one side of the davies website which of course many hours now to update that hasn't so in fact is leading now with a piece about japan china relations nothing to do with the elections has disappeared off the media and what's interesting as well in the last will

department is the ministry of foreign affairs has held its daily press conference now they spokes person that was asked twice about what these election results about what is going on in hong kong and again neither time did he gauge in that at all he simply repeated the old mantras for example that stopping violence and restoring order is the most important priority in hong kong hong kong he said again is an internal chinese matter so for the security and maintaining one country 2 systems is what matters nothing else we don't want foreign interference in hong kong he said but asked twice specifically about what those election results mean for what the feeling is in hong kong he would not engage in that at all he was asked as well explicitly about whether beijing could still support kerry lamb in the context of these election results and he said essentially that carried out i'm still had unequivocal support from here in beijing. now a major road has reopened in lebanon's capital some of the one. supporters of 2

shia movements hezbollah and amal clashed with anti-government protesters in both sides threw rocks at the. security forces had to form a barrier to separate them this confrontation is perhaps one of the worst students nationwide protests started in say the honda has more from beirut what we saw last night violence and unrest at least for 3 hours this area where we are became a front line that bridge behind me the ring road a main artery in beirut where protesters who are demanding a change in government were blocking roads and then supporters of the mainly shia parties amel and has a lot carrying their party chanting the names of their leaders attacked them using metal rods and clubs as they made their way towards the protest site of the protest site in martyrs square you will now see how the tents have been destroyed by the

supporters of i have to mention that this is not the 1st time an incident like this has happened but this indeed is the most violent incident yet there is tension in the street there's a deep divide in this society has followed leader has said that the grievances expressed by the demonstrators are legitimate but he has accused the protest movement of being backed by foreign governments and these are calling this a conspiracy against the group saying that the ultimate aim is to change the balance of power in the country accusations that people in the streets deny they say that they want a better living conditions they have no faith in the ruling elite and who have been in their words involved in corruption for decades and mismanagement and they want new faces but clearly the divide is the violence in the streets political turmoil as well. an economic crisis. 11 people including

intelligence driven data system to select who will be detained once inside the camps every aspect of their life is controlled from frequency of toilet use and haircuts to visits from loved ones inmates the documents say are ultimately judged on ideological transformation study and training and compliance with discipline and order. in the classes they would tell us that we were poisoned by religion that islam is an infectious disease that it came from abroad that if they needed to be a religion in china that it must people does him and we should not believe in any other religion. human rights lawyers say the documents confirm what many have suspected about the camps there's a human side of these camps you know where you get more points for being indoctrinated with you know this sort of central chinese i mean it's propaganda and removing interesting you're honest. it's the most orwellian thing that ever seemed

or as human rights. chinese government has rejected leaked documents as fake news the documents you're talking about is a. fabrication if you want to have a document about this but cheney had a consensus we have many documents we have a 7 papers published international legal experts say the in term and camps are a violation of china's laws and constitution but the chinese government has long stood defiant against foreign criticism vinton meaghan al-jazeera. talks to end 8 years of war in syria are underway in geneva and there goes it is trying to agree on a new constitution and they include representatives from the government the opposition and civil society a diplomatic editor james bases reports now on what appears to be a vast divide between the sides. the u.n. has been putting a positive spin on what was achieved at the 1st round of these talks in geneva the

reality though is that there was very little progress made in actually drafting a new constitution for syria but the 2 sides as well as a 3rd group of representatives of civil society showed up in the talks didn't collapse it would be too early to say there is agreement on constitutional principles lore is there yet agreement on which issues should be addressed in the future constitutional text and which should be addressed in other ways but there was a solid initial discussion and there are commonalities on which to build. i wrote to the members during the recess through flecked on what was discussed and return ready to build on it the co-chair of the constitutional committee on the government side because bari has said that any constitution needs to preserve what he describes as national constance in syria now that's

a code word for the assad dinner who've been running the country for almost 50 years it is the key issue and it's likely to be a crunch point soon for these talks james pays out his era at the united nations. the colombian president even duke a has met newly elected mayors and governors had an effort to end antigovernment protests the so-called national dialogue is a response to anger over corruption and possible changes to the minimum wage to pensions and to taxes on the founder of m.p.'s he has more from bogota. and take other men's demonstrations have stretched into a straight 4th date here in the capital bogota and across the country with thousands of people coming out in different classes in different parts of the city to protest at the policies 6 of the rightwing government obviously yet there are people chanting. just right well look and you know that the demonstrations will

continue i think quite a lot and there are protests against violence today say they have backtracked from security forces that they. have. asked actors to crack president chirac. that is coming to a national conversation today were cases that people have been drinking up and he started meeting with the new director mayors and governors of. our idea is in the coming days and weeks to take this exercise to the regions and the listening stage and then move on to the action but the unions and the leaders of this strike say they don't trust president do especially given the fact that he hasn't been willing to meet with them yet even many of the new the mayor saying

that that's a mistake and it's showing that the president took us now really interested in grilling with the issues that have been motivating a lot of the people here was a bit of look at i hope he'll speak to the very soon because he knows this is a time bomb and that if he doesn't repeatedly things will get out of hand and rightly so because people are tired of being abused the leaders of the strike have called for another major demonstration on the monday which promises to be the biggest chance that the one that happened on thursday the so-called national strike that started this protest and that long and that has brought the country in this situation of continues down dress similar to the ones that we've seen happening in so many other countries across south america. i mean those epidemics sweeping through samoa has gotten worse 25 people have now died almost all of them young children more than 2000 cases have been registered

a state of emergency was declared more than a week ago and the plight of the range of refugees who fled to bangladesh for me a man has been a focus of world attention for some time but there's another muslim group that lives lost and forgot in crowded camps in bangladesh as well turned their child free reports on the bihari community. yes mean shafi has been living in this camp since 1971 when she was 7 it's been a long arduous journey since then now she has a several grandchildren and wants them to have a better life than she has had. we faced many fold problems on clean water limited space to sleep frequent electricity cuts and so on it's very hard for us to sleep eat and live in such a small place you can't possibly stay healthy in such an environment there are 7 of us who share this room which barely can accommodate 2 people. this camp is one of 17 bangladesh it has just one school conditions are dire in this camp nearly 25000

people are crammed into an area smaller than the size of a football field houses are separated by distance of one metre wide passageway used by residents and livestock this small spaces are home to entire families with very limited access to basic services recently biharis where in the news when dozens of people were injured in a fight between police and camp residents the violence was triggered when the authorities tried to cut the electricity supply police. there were protests in the camp for several days i went to my workshop to get some work done during the fighting with the police suddenly some stray shotgun pellets hit my body and one of my eyes from which i can see any more most of those living in the camp get no help from the authorities and create their own jobs but they also face constant threats of evictions and now the biharis are facing challenges like camping and the fast of

the authorities say the biharis the city you know bang that is affording people for the need judgment so they are no more instead less already fiji so why they are fighting the government there are private land so the government is trying to evict the camp without any ne or without any settlement. but where the biharis go the government is considering relocating those living in the capital dhaka to a new settlement but 300000 people spending multiple generations fear they'll continue to face discrimination and which i agree al jazeera dhaka bangladesh. pakistan wants to increase is only for adoption to peace the economy has more land citable for all of cultivation than even spain which is the largest producer in the world come out high has more every august on imports over $2000000000.00 worth of edible oil and although the bag borne of the country's

this project not only the olive tree a great carbon thinker it really all sorts cropland erosion and experts say that it will also mitigate the effects of climate change the potential for lived in pakistan a great lord totally related to country on the map of oil exporting and all of producing countries it will also help raise revenue for poor farmers. probably is a very beneficial and really useful product specially for decision it was this is sort of place really. i don't have. many legs for the resources. good for 45 years but when you were to go didn't get done for this. what 30 years compared to. 2.4000000.
