a record number of seats a lot of people actually sacrificed a lot of stuff that 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 together to try to actually try to win something joshua long was disqualified for running but his party claim victory in his electorate unseating the incumbent post-operation councilor remarkable achievement in that this election is the efforts of callers 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 to look at what it called the 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 budgets 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. al jazeera hong kong. up to a 1000000 people across east africa struggling to cope with severe flooding and landslides at least 52 people have died in kenya rescue workers in west palm close to the border with uganda are trying to reach thousands of people in need of help because of rain damaged roads and. bridges. people to move from the areas where they are mudslides and go to the evacuation center because. it is going to rain and then we are going to get food and other relief and medical supplies to help those affected.

these kind of flooding are becoming almost unusual events last year we sold dumbs breaking up bunks blasting their bunks and killing so many people all the flooding and inundating villages and towns along the banks and many people asking why was the small voided but the government is quick to say these 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 that the banks are bound to the bomb to abbas the banks once again they should go to higher ground and the ease. of a question going on right now in court but also in other parts of the country where

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 get to the south also known as a ph d. c. . president julie maria vance who is seeking reelection for a 2nd term has accused the ph d. of paying people for votes saying the election was rigged there were scuffles in some polling stations but international observers say overall the voting was peaceful. but. 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 ph d. 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. bera fought with boss over the management of resources he enjoys the support of angola who is looking to exploit bauxite in this unexplored mineral rich country 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 i get together with you and we're determined to support legit to move government to fight criminality caught in this regional power play by the people of this hour 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. humans who the rebels have launched a series of rocket and drone attacks on the saudi us military cap in market they claim they have killed or injured up to $350.00 people the saudi you are the coalition has not confirmed that attack israel has deported a senior human rights watch official earlier this month the supreme court upheld the government's decision to expel all mushnick year who is a u.s. citizen he's been accused of supporting a global campaign to boycott israeli goods and services and israeli law from 2017 bars intrigues to people who publicly support that movement despite my deportation

today the israeli government has failed to muzzle human rights watch or the human rights movement this case shines a light on the reality we face today as we stand in this room we are near 53. if an ugly occupation with no end in sight characterized by institutional discrimination by systematic repression and rights abuses and particularly the palestinian people if the israeli government can deport somebody documenting rights abuse without facing consequence how can we ever stop rights abuse there's plenty more ahead on the new south including leaked documents reveal new evidence of china's repression if we don't muslim minorities. breaks on the ride sharing

company loses its license to operate in london plus hot. parties rio to celebrate historic football double turn south as fans clashed with riot. protesters have gathered in georgia's capital tbilisi to demand a snap election will go to marin the mousing now with more from our european broadcaster that's right stan it follows more than a week of angry demonstrations over the government's failure to introduce a promised electoral reform bill the opposition is saying that the current mix system favors the ruling party so let's go live to robyn forestay walker who is in tbilisi where those protests taking place of course demonstrators have been rallying now for some weeks tell us about the size and scale all today's protests.

all right well i'm outside the front of the to please see the capital cities parliament just me home of course this street i'm used to main avenue and it's been closed now for several hours because of the large numbers of people who gathered here in front of the building behind me but a lot of them now have moved not away from the building but up the side streets and to create their own groups around the side entrance is the working entrances to the parliament a strategy to blockade those entrances to stop m.p.'s from entering the building when they reconvene at you to reconvene tomorrow and what the opposition is saying is that this parliament has no digits as noted jetsunma see any more given that decision to renege on the promise of electoral reform the opposition says that what's happening now is start to georgian state has been captured by the

country's most powerful oligarch he runs the ruling the governing party and they accuse him of controlling not just the executive but the legislature given that vote and even the justice system as well so a lot of frustration about what has been going on and that's why they're back out on the streets but i have to say that this time last week they did the same thing they even had oil barrels full of wood to keep warm overnight they were burning fires they put tents are they doing it again tonight and i have to say that the last time around the police very swiftly moved in and cleared demonstrators away using water cannons and rightfully so we'll have to see how things are going to now kind out how the government is going to respond. of course and the ruling georgian dream party has refused to negotiate they've been saying as far as that concerned the matter is closed and i want the any changes the country's electoral system if the protests continue and if they grow and the things that can spell out into

violence. of course things get a pretty unpredictable here and there has been violence in the recent past back in june when thousands of anti-government demonstrators took to the streets there were clashes with police a lot of tear gas was used and a lot of people suffered serious injuries due to canisters of tear gas being or rubber bullets being fired into their faces and there's always that chance the government is trying to stay is it against the master is closed the case the situation is not that everything is controlled by one oligarch that they are functioning as a proper government and that the opposition doesn't have the support that they claim to have so it doesn't look like there's an awful lot of through the compromise and i think that's where the fear of unrest and violence could come from we're going to have to see how things pan out in the coming hours and days thanks

very much with the latest from tbilisi where those the protests have been continuing rather than far say away and that i just want to bring you one other story now from europe at least 5 people have been killed by severe flooding in southeast france italy and also greece extreme weather conditions of cause major damage throughout the region with several rivers busting their banks have been flooded while cars and boats have been swept away by to rancho rain front as national weather service said the area has absorbed the equivalent of 2 months of average rainfall in the space of just 24 hours i'll have more from london a bit later on and the news hour now that let's get back to stan and don. thank you marian will a highly classified chinese government documents are giving an insight into the mess detention of ethnic minorities mostly muslim weakest rights groups estimate that more than a 1000000 people have been locked up in the camps in the scenes young region germany has expressed its concerns about the reports and wants china to give un

human rights workers unhindered access to those camps sinton monahan reports. the chinese government says camps such as this in the shin jiang region are centers for education and vocational training documents obtained and verified by the international consortium of investigative journalists reveal they in fact operate as extrajudicial internment camps for the compulsory indoctrination of ethnic minorities mostly muslims the documents detail how police use an artificial 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 the inside of these camps you know where you get more points for being indoctrinated with you know this sort of central chinese communist propaganda and removing interesting year on islamic identity and it's the most orwellian thing that ever seemed or as human rights. chinese government has rejected leaked documents as fake news the documents talking to talking about his peer fabrications if you want to have a document about this but you know cheney had to get his sentence we have many documents we have the 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 phantom on al-jazeera idea and zen's is a senior fellow in china studies at the human rights organization victims of communism and he joins us now from some poor in minnesota it's good to have you with us i want to be really clear about how we characterize these camps now china of course calls them voluntary training camps but you have 24 hour security you have ideological training force language training how would you characterize it what the word of the words that you would use to describe these camps i think most people would understand especially if we call them prisons and they don't function like prisons but the difference is to get into a prison you typically have to go through some kind of judgment a court sentencing process where you could have maybe your lawyer have a legal recourse these basically are extrajudicial internment camps because the people simply are put in them. now we're talking about up to

a 1000000 people here we're talking about we gives who are muslim minority in the western scene john region and charter as we saw from those documents describing islam as an illness as a disease tell us why there is such a concern from the chinese communist party to this this muslim week of monarchy beijing has long had problems with the week goes because to we go so culturally much closer to the stumbled into beijing they have their own identity their own language when religion china invaded the area in 1949 but they armies there for the weakest have been resisting and there has been acts of violence resistance by weakness as they feel discriminated but i think the wider picture that we need to look at here is that china is ruled by a communist party called marx already called religion the opium of the masses with growing material prosperity religion must post to fade away but this has not

happened the opposite has happened the communist party is doubling down on what they are realizing is a lost ideological battle that charter also describes this as as part of an anti terrorism campaign you've spoken there of a violence that's been carried out by by we groups as well to what extent does that violence exist and to what extent is this an antiterrorism campaign to what extent can that be justified by the communist party we could groups did manage to launch violent attacks both in the region and in beijing and other larger chinese cities but the problem is this was a scotto scattered effort of resistance hardly call it a nato it's highly comparable to isis. this violence also subsided very dramatically but the direction of a police state in the area calling it anti-terrorism is justified if you actually

target those who planned violence but now we're looking at a preemptive phentermine campaign that puts 3 large ethnic groups that a combined population of over 15000000 people under general suspicion and preemptively and turns between 10 and 30 percent of them in camps i did sense it's been good to have you on the program so thank you thank you still ahead on al jazeera fighting to preserve their rights how some believe ians fear racism research after the resignation of the country's 1st indigenous president evo morales and we'll show you how tennis world number one turned around a difficult week for his team at the davis cup that's coming up with me in sport.

reach of the office of the president just how much wealth already he has imagine such as this. exactly because the u.s. president is also the commander in chief of the u.s. military and he issues an order to question the debate has now become should those in the military chain of command civilian or otherwise should they be forced to carry out that order if they believe that it may be legal could be moral or an ethical the quick back story in all of this is there's a lot of debate going on right now about the president intervening in the case of navy seal eddie gallagher he was facing very tough charges he was exonerated on some of the worst of them with regard to war crimes in iraq but he was convicted at least on one of the charges that was posing with the corpse of an iso fighter back in 2017 well as the navy went through its disciplinary chain it began to attempt to remove what's wrong is a tried and this is a symbol of being

a navy seal when the u.s. president found out about that he began to intervene in the case saying that that trident would not be removed and that is when we saw the navy secretary pushing back on that order and as a result he's now lost his job now what this amounts to are real questions and debate about where things stand on the limits of presidential power particularly when many people feel that it may be used for presidential purposes or rather political purposes by the president because this isn't the 1st time what we've seen this in the case now of the military we've also seen the president undermining the central intelligence agency or cia the f.b.i. even levels of the sort of the rank and file bureaucracy so the question has now become whether or not the president has overstepped his presidential powers once again complete thank you for bringing us up tonight rod sharing services has lost its license to apprise in london all of the safety concerns we got back to american

about as you know with more from our european broadcast center. that's right this is he's transit authority has cited several breaches that passengers security and safety at risk saying is not currently fit and proper for the company has vowed to appeal the decision and has $21.00 days to do so it can continue to operate while the appeals process takes place around $45000.00 drivers work in london which is one of its top 5 markets globally well james far is chair of the united private hire drivers branch of the independent while his union of great britain joins me live now via skype from paris and actually london is the biggest market. in the region who bears the brunt of this decision then not to renew the company's license in the city well take a guess so of course it is the precarious workers 50000 drivers who are trooper are

the ones who are going to bear that paid the target price of this decision for 7 years transport for london as of the opportunity to develop an enforced a stable regulatory environment for 7 years to preserve the opportunity to comply with the law of sales and it is $50000.00 precarious workers already denied to work or rights the right to the minimum wage they're the ones who are going to pay the price tonight london mayor. said that although he recognizes it will be an unpopular decision not just because of obviously the way impacts the drivers but many users people in london that use it they say that safety is is of paramount concern regulations that keep people safe and simply isn't complying with the standards now why have those adjustments not been made to the business then. well i think what's the heart of this is a dysfunctional relationship between between the regulator and between drivers and between hoover the fact is we don't have

a regulated safety and risk management system in regulation and when the reasons why we don't have that is because well there's 2 reasons operators like over do not want to accept public liability they want to stay apart from the transportation piece of this puzzle of the 2nd one is is that they don't want to get involved in managing drivers too closely because that would suggest an employment relationship and so for this reason i think things are starting to fray at the edges what something else i would say you know few years ago a leading parliamentarian here frank field m.p. rose report to bring the economy sweated labor it gentrified that drivers in london were working in sweatshop conditions well sweatshop conditions are also a huge threat to public safety the mayor had the opportunity and the legal powers to make worker rights a condition of license 2 years ago when he made the decision then and again 2 months ago when he said new terms for her to comply with and and he didn't do so so again transport for london the mayor failing on worker rights and failing on safety

and one more thing i would say is that hoover's response now is to introduce belatedly facial recognition systems where we have grave concerns about that because this is a company that hasn't been trustworthy in terms of its surveillance of users and even regulatory authorities and data breaches so to force narrow 50000 precarious workers to hand over biometric data that's a severe risk. but i guess black cab drivers will be very pleased about this which i can drivers will be very pleased but it's also you know it's worth noting that some of the competing. get you know that are used exclusively by the taxi trade they're completely unregulated at all by transport for london through a quirk in the law so users of those services those those services are hoovering up huge amounts of personal data from consumers and it isn't completely on regulation that's a huge gaping hole in a regulatory environment in london also james for thank you very much chair of the

united private hire driver branch it and it work as union of great britain joining us today you are now a german state museum with one of the biggest collections of baroque treasures and here at has been robbed of goods worth up to a $1000000000.00 the queen volta drysdale's royal palace was broken and broken into early on monday morning police say the thieves managed to get in through a window and smash display cases taking 3 sets of early 18th century jewellery museum says that the items taken are priceless and unique. today there was a break in at the greenbelt valuable art what disappeared at the moment we don't know the extent of the damage because investigators are still collecting evidence but as far as we can estimate it will be a large cultural political loss for the state of saxony if we don't manage to get these objects back. a truck driver charged with man with manslaughter of $39.00 ve

i've signed 8 agreements including financial and civil planning or some have been divided as more. it's the 5th session of turkey but there are strategic dialogue between the president of turkey and the emir of qatar issues pertaining to bilateral ties as well as international issues were discussed in this meeting we've been told matters pertaining to find. standardise ation as well as bilateral trade came in the discussion the turkish foreign minister says that although both of these countries have a deep understanding of each other's issues and support each other on their standings there is room for improvement resign aid agreements or more you to strengthen the legal basis of foreign relations and we have been we have been discussing also the regional issues where turkey and qatar have the same position and we have excellent cooperation on the regional issues so. even beyond after meeting the emir of qatar the turkish president visiting the bases the

military bases that turkey has established. under a 2015 agreement this is one of those areas where turkey and qatar have become closer after the blockade imposed on carter by its neighboring countries. because of our very profound roots in this region it means we have always given great importance to the gulf security turkish troops presence here is not only for our brothers in qatar but for peace and stability of the entire gulf region. monday marks the international day to end violence against women it's an issue the u.n. calls the most widespread and devastating human rights violation in the world it's found that a 3rd a 3rd of all women experience some sort of physical sexual violence in their lives on on average $137.00 women around the world a killed by a family member or partner every day that's more than half of all women killed each year and violence targeting women causes as many deaths and injuries as cancer.

is the executive director of un women now that's the u.n. that's dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women she joins us now from the u.n. headquarters in new york and it's a pleasure to have you on the program those numbers are just shocking out by a 3rd of all women experience some some sort of physical or sexual violence in their lifetime so we're talking about something that is that is social that is cultural that is political how do you begin to make a difference in. thank you for having me indeed the numbers are shocking and this is a crime that is committed everywhere in the world some of the imagining lessons and promising intervention. are coming from different parts of the world but what is really common is the need for have legislation. that criminalizes violence

against women of all forms we're focusing on rape in particular this year but also you need a multi-sector approach it should not just be the justice and criminal system that is dealing with it we need health professionals you need the survivors and you an activist to be a part of this you need to the police and they actually need to work together in real time where you are seeing changes it is with this court the nation holds at this point in time it is not the calm one and the mainstream approach to deal with this crime and what we're trying to do is the is the u. n. is to try to convince member states about the wisdom of making this the way to operate in every country when you say there needs to be a legislative approach that needs to be a criminalizing approach to this it's also a fact is that most perpetrators go unreported or unprosecuted.

because when when a person i mean people are under ported. in and nothing happens to them women become discouraged so you actually need the laws you need the laws to work you need leadership and in particular you need heads of state you need ministers those people who have some power in authority to make the laws work to make this something that is a top priority it is when you have those kinds of interventions that you see change if you're waking in a company you did the see all to believe here in the united nations some of the progress that we're seeing in some cases is when the s.g. or other leaders are the ones that are leading from the front so this thing about leadership leading from the front can never be over and for us as it is a deal breaker if you don't have that you don't see progress when you say

leadership from the front as well one of the things that the u.n. has pointed out is that this is also a product of just the entrenched power of men around the world so part of part of the of the objective here is that is to get men to buy in at the top level right down to family members because a lot of this violence is carried out by family members or people partners or people very close to when. yes men who have power and privilege critical as allies where you have men taking a stance that is positive they are able to influence other men in many cases men better messengers than people like me who is the usual suspects for these issues so part of our way is really working with men and boys what is disturbing though is that you do not have enough men who come to participate in these activities is interesting but the interest is very slow so one of my call to action is that good

men must not be bystanders this is their it's almost like you have a good muscular well meaning man folding their hands when the child in the end is being raped when an old woman in a walking stick is being raped when you have a woman in a wheelchair being molested surely you would think that any caring man would not be a bystander in that situation but that is what we have right now and we're trying to mobilize men to make this their issue and to take that responsibility to bring about the changes that's an important message i appreciate you coming on the program thank you so much. well a major road has reopened in lebanon's capital off to some of the worst violence in more than a month supporters of tertium movement says ball and a. government protesters in beirut both sides for rocks at each other for hours security forces had to form a barrier to separate them this confrontation is one of the worst since nationwide
