of protest against what many see as beijing's increasing influence in hong kong sarah caught begins our coverage as dawn broke hong kong to a new political landscape more 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 suffering but they suffered a lot in the last 6 months to actually get this result and i think people are very . united and there are so. 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 this election is the efforts of hong kong especially motorists. protests are 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 they so i believe what we now do is. called a 5 major demands and whether in fact any of them can be dealt with by the most satisfactory then 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 al-jazeera hong kong. or despite the scale of the victory beijing says it will continue to back hong kong's leader kerry lamb and her government and her thomas says the view from beijing. in mainland china hong kong's election results are being effectively ignored asked about the landslide victory for pro-democracy candidates a spokesman but china's foreign ministry of voided the question should be all true

and ending violence and restoring order is the priority for hong kong hong kong is a passive china in hong kong a fears a purely china's internal a few. chinese media 2 said nothing about opposition parties doing well this is monday's china day printed on sunday night before the results came out inside it suggests the high turnout is good news for promise stablish front parties but since the results are come out nothing no update on the website of this newspaper at all and nothing in any of china's official media on the substance of the results. we stopped people in beijing to ask them what they thought of the result. the response was confusion was this how you go only to have no one we spoke to had heard anything about them without him being

the one man who did want to talk said this broad true artist i haven't paid too much attention on this vote in hong kong yet but i think stopping the violence and chaos is the priority now we are too soft on the hong kong facts tolerance has to have a limit. the chinese central government should strike them hard. but do you know the result of the vote no i don't know the result yet i've been busy all day with work. official media coverage before hong kong's vote and of the turnout but not the results suggest speccing thought those results would be different it seems unlikely though that the actual results will change beijing's attitude towards hong kong i don't think there will be any change in the positions on the chinese central government why because this is a matter of upmost importance to the child in me it really impacts on the one

country 2 system it is impacts on china sovereignty over the whole car already the government has expressed renewed confidence in chief executive kerry lam and it shows no sign of making concessions on any of the protesters demands andrew thomas al-jazeera beijing. let's discuss this further now with stephen saying who is the director of the china institute at the school of oriental and african studies which is part of the university of london he joins us live just really interesting listening to that story there and clearly beijing is maintaining the line that it has confidence in kerry lamb but if this vote was a referendum on kerry the hong kong people don't have confidence in what's the future. well kerry land will be removed ahead of her term of office whatever she does it's. chinese communist party is never kind is true is on people who failed the party so i don't think in that sense

it really matters very much whether the people of hong kong have confidence in kerry land or not she will be removed but if he isn't if he is removed from office for just come in there that just means that someone else handpicked from beijing replaces her it's not necessarily someone that the people of hong kong who've been turning out and protesting have turned out and voted for pro-democracy candidates a god we happy with well i think you're absolutely right. they will not replace carry them just yet because that news appears to be handing a sculp to the protestors in hong kong and the party will not do that but when david tom comes they will remove her and replace her with somebody they will trust and have confidence in but they will be looking for somebody who will be more effective don't carry a lamb in communicating with people in hong kong their party in beijing not

understand what really are the issues in aung kong and they thought that the failure was in the implementation of the policy not in the policy itself but this is the problem is not there is a problem fundamentally in a one country 2 systems policy this is where you end up people who who are used to freedoms want to hold on to their freedoms this is a test for c. jinping and a test for his pragmatism whether he cracks down hard or whether he hopes that this simply runs out of steam or whether he tries a more conciliatory approach what's your thinking on how he will approach this. ok hong kong has already operated under one country 2 systems for $22.00. before she jinping came to power in 20 trower some how they were able to manage through such differences and model. the problem really starting

in a big way with xi jinping wanting hong kong to go in hysterectomy and that fundamentally was the cause of the problem when he tried to impose patriotic education in hong kong in trying to try she get the young people you know hong kong politically active xi jinping will never appear and meet the his policy had mail and was responsible for bringing the problems up in hong kong and therefore he will persist in his policy and hong kong will have to adjust and the of hong kong does not adjusts chimpy will do what shipping or what it does and this of course means more protest and more confrontation but we will have to live with this difference and thank you again for giving us a ton up to

a 1000000 people across the south africa struggling to cope with severe flooding and landslides at least 52 people have died in kenya rescue workers in with pockets close to the border with uganda a trying to reach thousands of people in need of help because of rain damaged roads and destroyed buildings where 2 were as acquittal can we are urging our people to move from the lower areas where there are mudslides and go to the evacuation center because we don't know for how long it is going to rain and then we are going to get food lethal and other relief and medical supplies to help those affected are made from nairobi mama the dogs planes our dams on rivers are making things worse. these kind of flooding are becoming almost unusual events last year we sold dumbs breaking them bunks the last thing the bunks and killing as so many people read was all the flooding and inundating villages and towns along the banks and many people

asking why was the signal to avoid it but the government is a quick to say. that due to climate change and beyond their control they are also sending out a very tough warning to people living only in low lying areas also along the river banks not to the banks are bound to the bomb to a bus that banks once again they should go to higher ground and they ease a massive. of a question going on right now in the west but also in other parts of the consumer where there's been extremely. bad conditions and also have bit of rainfall going on and the dumps are also being released in a controlled way and on to grieve was i expect that to exacerbate the situation. there's plenty more ahead on the news hour including a month of protests and

a growing torrent sea crisis in lebanon. anger against one of kyrgyzstan's most powerful men over allegations of corruption. a party in rio de janeiro to celebrate a historic football double turns sour as fans clash with police that's coming up in sport. votes are being counted in guinea-bissau presidential election sunday's vote follows you. a power struggle and social and political turmoil early results are expected light of this week nicolas hawke reports from. this is i said 2 buddies 1st presidential election since early sunday morning she's kept a close tally of the votes in her neighborhood as an independent observer for candidate c. morris domingo. for this election campaign isn't just about choosing

a new president but it's also about changing the country's divisive political culture when candidate faced. other candidates and i think kind of behavior shows the kind of person you are and what you can do for your country in the future. is the front runner in this election he's the candidate of the powerful african party of the independence of cape verde and also known as the. president julie maria vance who is seeking reelection for a 2nd term has accused of paying people for a vote saying the election was rigged there were scuffles in some polling stations but international observers say overall the voting was peaceful. as for the quality of the vote itself we noted in general people were prepared for

their roles there were minor incidents minor irregularities but nothing that could undermine the process. whoever gets elected will have to share power with the g.c. the majority party in parliament. there's a sense of fear and apprehension that the outcome of this election could create divisions instead of uniting a country weakened by years of political instability and as a result this parliament has not been able to vote any laws or budgets paralyzing this country. bear out fought with boss over the management of resources he enjoys the support of angola who is looking to exploit block site in this unexplored mineral rich country 'd nigeria and senegal view angola's interest in guinea bissau with suspicion the west african body known as eko osce deployed additional troops as part of a stabilizing force. be used as a launching pad for drug traffickers and transnational organized crime and that's

why. they're with us and we're determined to support legit to move government to fight criminality caught in this regional power play by the people of bizzaro like nurse to santos who has gone almost a year without pay because of the political crisis or unemployed graduate student. who can't find work for this election is a chance to finally get a say in the direction of her country. because hawke al-jazeera. u.s. defense secretary bart esper has fired the navy's top official yes but has accused navy secretary richard spencer of proposing a deal with the white house behind he's back now the matter has to deal with a navy seal accused of war crimes in iraq his case had been championed by president donald trump in his resignation letter richard spencer indicated he didn't agree with trump's demands we go live now to our white house correspondent kimberly

halkett in washington d.c. kimberly take us through this because it's a fairly complicated situation on the one hand we got to sign these lost confidence and trust in spencer because spencer what spencer resigned publicly is not what he was signed privately. yeah it is confusing let me see if i can try to boil it down very simply in essence what we have is a navy secretary pushing back on a demand by the commander in chief in this case the president of the united states pushing back on what he felt was something that was maybe legal but not necessarily ethical or moral essentially this navy seal that was accused he was a zon aerated on the major war crimes allegations but still was convicted of posing with a corpse of an i saw in iraq and this is why it's the president weighed in to restore and accusing on twitter of the this mishandling of the case by the navy

the president restored his trident pin that is something that's very significant to navy seals essentially sort of is the kind of the icon of the navy seals now this was something that the navy itself had been trying to strip in order to restore good discipline and order among the ranks the president weighing in on that we saw the navy secretary pushing back and this led to him being forced out so what we have now is a very vigorous debate in this country on a number of levels the question becomes when is an order still in order if you feel that it is coming from potentially a president who may be misusing his political powers in office is there a duty to stand up against that order the other issue that is coming out now also is whether or not the president has once again shown his deep distrust of institutions in this case it's the military but we've also seen this president

maligned the central intelligence agency or cia the f.b.i. and other levels of the bureaucracy so this is a debate that is going to be played out we know not just for weeks but likely years to come complete thank you for that complete help could live from washington d.c. . russia in the west are bracing for another showdown over chemical weapons attacks in the syrian war now since 2013 the syrian government's been accused by the u.s. and its allies of using the weapons in rebel held areas russia is now threatening to block next year's budget for the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons when it meets on wednesday a move that could shut down the watchdog the organization has said it will for the 1st time identify those responsible for chemical weapons attacks now the syrian government joined the chemical weapons convention in 2013 and denies using them hey mr britain gordon is the former commanding officer of the u.k. chemical biological radiological and nuclear regiment and nato is rapid reaction

battalion he joins us now from bath in the u.k. good to have you with us is the fundamental thing here at the o.p.c. w.'s ambit its mandate is changing it can not just investigate now but identify and that's at the heart of the russian concern. that's absolutely correct further since 96 when the a p c w came into form its role was to report on the use of chemical weapons and stipulate what happened the great weakness was that they could never actually be you know who was responsible and headed to that was a roll of the un security council but only the permanent members of the un security council to detail who is responsible portion blame and he sanctions that would happen now what has happened between chile in the syrian war when that's come and ask that russia has eased its veto therefore nothing has really happened the way to

get around this was thought by the british government the american government french government was to get the a.p.c. dubey the ability and the right to be a trap should be blame which and this happened earlier on this year is in the o.t.c. dubey you only need 2 thirds majority to get things through and that is the nub of the issue that the russians are worried about now so when you look at the history of this the been several other guys leveled it at syria for using various weapons whether it be the use of koran or whether it be the use of of sarin gas russia was meant to have taken these weapons to have over saying syria giving up these weapons so the concern here is if people are going to be identified if particular actors are going to be identified potentially that's russians and potentially russia is implicated. well this is one of the issues it's not just syria course or russia is implicated in the race to track him in sorcery just down the road from where i am here and russia is needed seems to be quite happy just for britain and america to

tease them to use it but it might be another thing if the organization the prohibition of chemical weapons also attribute blame to them and it's the same when it comes to syria in theory all chemical weapons in syria were taken out in 2014 by a joint plan hatched by the russians and also the us but it is clear that chemical weapons have been used since then it's also clear on the russians declared their p.c. to be in 2017 they had no chemical weapons we now know that that was an incorrect claim so there's also a claim and counterclaim going around and it would appear that some of the prostates around the world and very much syria would not want the a.p.c. doubly on the world stage to attribute blame for these chemical attacks and will do anything they can to prevent not happening hi mr britain gordon it's good to have you on the program thank you. qatar's emir say tell him been hammered out

unacceptable that allow passengers to get into many cabs with drivers who are potentially unlicensed and uninsured basically what t f l found was that there was around $14000.00 occasions. drivers who were not necessarily the same driver who had been given a license to operate were picking up passengers it arose from an anomaly within the system which allowed an authorized drivers to upload their photograph to the profile of an authorized driver and essentially were to fell or saying well the systems are clearly not secure enough the us has $21.00 days to lodge an appeal and then you've got a matter of perhaps 18 months 2 years perhaps certainly an extended period of time while that could possibly go through to court action says in the meantime it's been vigorously updating its software and its processes a statement from saying we have robust systems and checks in place now to confirm

the identity of drivers and will soon be introducing a new facial matching process but in the meantime they're going to have to actually fire fight this legal action although in the short term what we're looking at is continuing to operate on the streets of london even though t f l are trying to stop them. colombian president yvonne dicta has met newly elected mayors and governors in an effort to end anti-government protests the so-called national dialogue is a response to anger over corruption and possible changes to the minimum wage pensions and taxes. has moved from bogota. anti-government demonstration substrates to a straight for today here in the capital bogota and cross the country with thousands of people coming out in different classes in different parts of the city to protest at the policy of the rightwing government obviously. there are people chanting back there just like you will continue that the demonstrations will

a mistake and he's showing that the president took it's not really interested in dealing with the issues that have been mostly they think a lot of the people here was a bit of look at i hope he'll speak to them very soon because he knows this is a time bomb and that if he doesn't repeat. the things will get out of hand and rightly so because people are tired of being abused the leaders of this strike have called for another major demonstration on a monday which promises to be the biggest that sense that the one that happened on thursday the so-called national strike that started this protest and that. and that has brought that can in this situation have continued downdraft similar to the one that we've seen happening in so many other countries across south america. concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have reached a new record high the un's world meteorological organization says despite pledges like the paris agreement there's no sign of

a showdown now its report found 28 ing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached a new high c o 2 was the cause of nearly 4 fifths of that mysterious warming methane also reached record levels it's now 259 percent higher than pre-industrial levels most coming from cattle agriculture and fossil fuels and nitric oxide also increased at a rate higher than the 10 year average well beyond president of the copenhagen consensus center and author of cool it and skeptical environmentalist he joins us on skype from moma in sweden it's nice to have you with us sir you've been called a climate change skeptic you would say unfairly but when you listen to these numbers record levels of concentrations of carbon dioxide record levels of methane 259 percent higher than pre-industrial levels you look at the dramatic climate where the incidents we're having around the world record heat waves the

science will tell us we are at a critical juncture when it. well stan 1st of all yes global warming is real and it's a real problem then we need to fix but i think in some ways what this shows us as we've been trying for 30 years and approach of basically promising to cut carbon emissions and then not delivering y. because when c o 2 rises as you just showed what is really the causes that obviously has a negative impact on climate change that's a bad but it's also an underlying indicator of the economy that is booming and when you ask most pay our politicians what would you like a booming economy or a carbon emissions most choose the firm and warmer and so we need to find a better way and on that better why not use i've been trying for 30 years people would say we haven't been trying hard enough and even if you look at the paris accords it didn't set stringent enough levels they were being different

expectations of countries like china and india and expectations of developed countries and now we've seen donald trump walk away from paris altogether it's not that people are not trying it have been trying hard enough isn't that the point. well i mean you might say look we tried for 30 years but we just haven't tried hard enough i think at some point you need to say we're trying the wrong way you can't make most countries and certainly not china and especially india and indonesia and all the other countries that want to follow china's example and get rich to tell them i'm sorry you can't do that what we need to do is to get the technology they see are too low or 0 carbon technology to be so cheap that it can outcompete fossil fuels that will only happen through innovation we're focusing way too much in putting existing are often inefficient solar panels up instead of investing lots more interview search and development to get the next generations of renewable so cheap that also india and china will want them and that brings us back to the 1st

point you made doesn't that it requires more investment it requires more commitment and this is precisely what we're not saying we're not saying that necessarily from the united states we know in countries like australia for instance that relies heavily on coal why would they give up coal it's the biggest exporter that australia has when you look at things like this in this case this clash between what is a vested interest national interests and the global interest that's where the problems occur. oh absolutely but sand the point is right now we're promising policies just paris promises would cost in the order of $1.00 to $2.00 trillion dollars that's what most nations are unwilling to actually live up to but the in the promises of increasing investment in research and development which actually many countries including the obama usa promised would only cost in the order of $50.00 to $100000000000.00 so we're talking about something that's 5 or 10 percent

of the cost of paris and would do much much more good so it's really a question of saying are we going to try to continuously do the thing that has failed and cost a lot of money or should we try something that's cheaper and much more effective and that's where i think there's a real opportunity for us to do better yet a festering conversation so good to have you on the program thank you thank you up to a $1000000000.00 worth of jewelry has been stolen from a museum in germany now the thieves cut the electricity supply in dresden the grain vault museum which alice's one of europe's largest collections of jewels at odd affects the places that were taken is said to have been part of centuries old collections. the culprits as you were able to see got in through a window facing the palace square there they cut through the grating and then smashed the glass before they went straight to one glass cabinet that they destroyed they then left the building and disappeared 1st indications point to
