12:05 am
not good enough josefina scott the prime minister has to go but he has to go today not next week or next month but today and this is pressure that's on president it's quite unprecedented in maltese politics especially for a number of reasons joseph was scott is a very very popular prime minister he won 2 elections by a landslide he is hugely charming theory found the ruling labor party and only last april may he won the european elections with another landslide so all this is happening just a few months after that and it has been brought about because of the public protests out there and of course because there is a case a very serious case we're talking about a case of a murder journalist here which has gone straight to the very top right and so just explain to our viewers that might not be as familiar with the case as yourself why people are so angry with the prime minister specifically and his actions
12:06 am
in relation to this case. very simply joseph must guard is very close friends with his now former chief of staff teach camry teach him the last week was arrested a couple of times in connection with the murder keech can bury had secret offshore accounts with york and senate you're going fenech is the guy who was yesterday charged with daphne carter want to go to sea as a murder plus another of joseph miscounts friends. former now tourism minister conor admits he also had a secret account with the organ fenech so people are almost saying much about his guilty by association now there is nothing pinning the murder to joseph in the scott but there's certainly a lot of discomfort over the find that keach can be his right hand man was who was until last week sitting cabinet meetings was actually being named as a suspect in the murder now he's been freed by the police or police or they have
12:07 am
found nothing about him but there are some serious claims still being made about him right so this is really the concern is about the people that a surrounding the the prime minister and the business dealings that they have with one of the main figures in this case you're going fenech who has been arrested though he's denied the charges is it just about the prime minister's handling of the case or if could he find himself directly involved or perhaps the question by prosecutors at some point at this stage there is no evidence whatsoever linking the prime minister to the murder but i mean there are questions being asked there are questions being asked because the cambria now is being suspected of obstructing the course of justice there are claims that last week keech can retry to forward a letter to your going fenech what he was in police custody this is how serious is
12:08 am
the cases so people are saying how could you have this man sitting next to you while you are running the country. thank you very much for explaining that to us we appreciate it taking time speeches from the letter well to thank you well now the iraqi parliament has approved prime minister abdul abdul mattie's resignation it comes after weeks of protests across the country demanding that he step aside he will stay on low to lead a caretaker government but attention now turns to who replaces him so mona fulton reports from baghdad. after only 13 months in office iraq's embattled prime minister addle of the mahdi has officially stepped down yet his succession is mired in uncertainty according to the constitution the president is supposed to take up the office of the prime minister until a replacement is chosen but instead of the mahdi is staying on as part of a caretaker government. the largest bloc in parliament led by shiite cleric mokhtar
12:09 am
the outsider must now nominate a replacement within 15 days it's a murky and often lengthy process that requires consent from shia sunni and kurdish parties as well as regional and global power brokers 7. more than ever the choice would have to be accepted on the streets it's a daunting task for political parties put himself face the wrath of the protesters the heart of course our own home. with the biggest block based on the last parliamentary election we have to nominate a candidate form a government with guidance from tied to al sabah we will cancel sectarian and political appointments system to give the right the protesters because the people of the largest bloc and the demonstrations are where the sacrifice has been made the candidate the people will be a choice as well. but in a lot of people's choice would require fresh elections

a key demand of the protesters we want to do so all of this government. believed in tears the takers government or just say that the better to give all make. for their cause also. releasing a new low for. politics party's parliament member say that passing these reforms could take up to 6 months of being fully accept and fully support the idea of dissolving the parliament and having a fresh air. action but that that you have to know that there are costs to stop or seizures 1st we have to go with it we need a government even an interim government or government before holding the elections this week we are discussing even past their new electoral law. which is overseeing their elections in iraq the new election law currently tabled in parliament
12:11 am
suggests an increase in independent candidates at least considerable power in the hands of political parties including the ability to choose the prime minister. protos just say that his resignation is meaningless if they cannot choose the next leader themselves they demand a presidential rather than a parliamentary system whereby the head of state is elected by popular vote a demand that has thus far been ignored by the political establishment see one of 14 al-jazeera baghdad at least 3 civilians including a child have been killed in as strikes in the libyan capital this happened in the swami neighborhood in the south of tripoli but it resources saying the attack was carried out by forces linked to the east and warlord who for have to at least 10 others were injured and then 10 people have been shot in an attack on a church in bikini several gunman opened fire during a matching mass in the village of the tury in the estrie gen which has come under

12:13 am
about how to work even more closely with us. our d.c. armed forces the national police the authorities. well as catherine sawyer is in the city of goma in the east india and says that people are now taking security into their own hands. it was found out that this man was a sergeant in the army and he was going to work in it to which is a neighboring province he was accompanied by his wife who is also stoned to death and their child who is safe and what happened is that they were boarding a taxi to take them to this area but the taxi moment was very uncomfortable because we're asking to go to places where killings have happened places where people are fleeing in fear and when they were father interrogated people are saying they did not have answers that were clear that they did not have ideas as well when their bags were such there was military if the t. bullets medical kits as well and so on and so they were stoned to death now what
12:14 am
people have done people of beni have done since that time is saying that they were going to take charge of their own security so they've set up this checkpoints in some parts and people who are coming into the city and via calls particularly those who are coming from areas where these killings have been happening they're saying that they do not trust security forces enough to do this and to take care of their safety is also an ongoing offensive with the military and the u.n. against a.d.f. in the forest we spoke to the spokesman about that as well he said that they are making advances they have been able to take several bases from the a.d.f. rebels they've also been able to kill one of the top provoke commanders but people are still frustrated they're saying why is it that even with the ongoing operation a rebel fighters are able to come back to the villages and kill them. still ahead for you on this news hour from london. exit polls president marks the end of his
12:15 am
1st year in office with a big posse in the capital while others march against violence in the country. a new generation of russian women fight for domestic violence to be made a crime hoping to save the lives of women like alyona why they're facing resistance and threats. and spot on an elderly eventa star and a balance of power wasn't enough for a little we'll reveal more in sports. now both people killed in friday's attack on the bridge have been formally identified by the police 23 year old saskia judd's was a graduate of cambridge university she was attending a prison a rehabilitation offense along with another graduate 25 year old jack merits they
12:16 am
and 3 others were stabbed by osa monk on merit and jones were involved in the learning together program which connects graduate students with prison is to study criminology well the justice ministry has launched an urgent review of people convicted of terrorism related offenses have been released from prison after it turned out that the attacker had been jailed for a terror plot on sunday police arrested a man in the city of stoke on trent as part of that review just 2 weeks before the u.k. votes in a general election it has become a big political issue as henri chalons explains. only on sunday have police started moving vehicles from london bridge because buses and trucks have been stranded just as they were when the attacker was shot dead by police of the murdering 2 people which is you know it's on friday it's been a still in the resort snapped countless times already by curious tourists quicker to move has been the prime minister sensing elect. threats or perhaps an
12:17 am
opportunity boris johnson is trying to absolve his conservative party of blame the spy being in power for a decade i think this whole system of automatic early release which was brought in by labor it was under and it was under that system the tenure of that i've only been in office probably projects so i think well you know you just want to tell you what i mean this wearing body has been one of the reason i think it's ridiculous i think it's repulsive that individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only 8 years and that's he why we are going to change the law actually the reasons why this man can was out of prison early despite being convicted of terrorism offenses are complex there are the particularities of his case including his successful 2013 appeal against his original indeterminate sentence adding to that years of legislation on sentencing and release from various governments including conservative ones there are less than 2 weeks till the
12:18 am
general election not a good time for the government to have to admit 74 other people convicted of terrorism offenses have been released early on another political show the leader of the opposition was asked if he opposes the early release of such prisoners i think it depends on the circumstances it depends on the sentence but crucially depends on what they've done in the not necessarily not not necessarily you know i think there has to be an examination of how our prison services work and crucially what happens someone released from prison the conservatives still have a polling lead over labor party in recent days it's narrowed election campaigns can turn on events like this and how governments handle them or a challenge how to 0 london. now the president of syria now has returned to the country 2 days after he was convicted of murder that's the berta say supporters welcomed him home despite a court convict. and of killing 15 political opponents in 1902 when he was the
12:19 am
country's military leader he was sentenced to 20 years in prison but the court didn't issue an order for his arrest or to say who'd been on an official trip to china called it a political verdict. security forces in mexico shot dead 7 more suspected cartel members following an attack in the northern town of the union on brings the total number of people killed in the area near the u.s. border this weekend to 21 including 4 police officers on saturday government sprayed the mayor's office in the small town with bullets before being chased by police incident comes days after u.s. president donald trump raised tensions by saying he would designate mexican criminal gangs as terrorists well earlier mexico's president was involved in a celebration marking a year in office in opposition campaigners have also been out in force today protesting about his failure to tackle violence and other issues they've held a rally calling for a minute of his obrador to deal with rising murder rates and violence against women
12:20 am
at the same time that he was addressing crowds in the center of mexico city but as obrador admitted that economic growth has fallen short of his own expectations despite that and continuing high violence in the past year he has managed to maintain high approval ratings polls suggest 2 thirds of the population are still supporting him. it cannot make growth has not being watched we had hoped for but that wealth is now better to distribute it to the public budget doesn't stay in just a few hands like before now it reaches the majority of the people. alan fischer is live outside the presidential palace in mexico city and alan contrasting scenes in mexico today with some rallying to mark the 1st anniversary of money lopez obrador is time in office and others angry that he's not done enough to solve some of the country's problems. while the official rally to mark the one year
12:21 am
anniversary has just been wrapping up in the last half hour you can see the stage eventually managed to move through that area pretty quickly clearing up the area but you're right we're not far from the presidential palace where president over the door to coffee is exactly a year ago we were told by the local police there was a crowd of somewhere around a $100000.00 in this square that is distinctly possible here is a very popular president but there were thousands tens of thousands on the streets who came out to protest what they see is this failure over the last year they point to the murder rate it's actually gone up since he took office it's estimated that there are only $97.00 people murdered every single day in mexico the talk also about the economy and how over the last few months it has dipped back into recession even though manuel obrador says look more people get the benefit of this economy than they did before so there are supporters on the side but the thing you
12:22 am
have to remember is he was elected with more than 50 percent of the vote which is surprising in mexico and one year on although his initial approval rating has gone down it still stands at 62 percent that's 62 percent of voters in mexico who believe that he is doing a very good job. what about those that want him to do better because we know that mexico has long faced issues with violence against women high murder rates chronic gang violence. is what action is the government taking. well he of course is is changing everything that has been done in the past of a previous administration when it comes to the war against at the not call gags he says that hogs not bullets will make the difference there it doesn't mean that quite literally what he's suggesting is that you need to change the social conditions on the ground so that to the cartels no longer have the economic power that they had in the past so that is important for him to make sure that that
12:23 am
happens really that mexican presidents are judged on 3 things whether you like it or not the reality is on security he's promised mexicans that they will be safer at the moment they don't feel that the the 2nd thing is that the city it's the relationship with the united states he hasn't been confrontational with donald trump so things there are pretty good and then the 3rd thing is the economy and he's saying that more people are benefiting from it but the fact is that it's 15 to recession as it continues to sure 0 growth and that's going to start hitting ordinary people his core voters now there are some who believe that he should do more he should be much more radical that he has the political capital that he won with more than 50 percent of the vote is an approval rating of 62 percent so he should move faster to do the things he wants to do but there are those who say that this president has some great ideas he just hasn't developed a strategy to put them into practice thank you very much alan fischer in mexico
12:24 am
city thank you. now to bolivia where indigenous people felt they were lifted up when one of their own became president nearly 14 years ago now and they have a miraculous as the 1st indigenous media policy was reduced for the formerly marginalized people but as john holmes reports now from what a hata weeks after he was ousted many are wondering what comes next for the country's indigenous groups. more than 40 percent of bolivia's population are indigenous until recently so was its president ever more ollie's. he wasn't universally popular with all of the country's 36 original peoples but for those like the under him things definitely improved she got a pension and a government program which helped to learn spanish in his seventies. before politicians just made money for themselves there were no schools or government housing those with evil we had all of us gave it to us. now he's gone and those in
12:25 am
her town want to have the where most to from the i model group a worried about what comes next we're alice is government help build a high school astroturf pitch and houses here. but for a total just as important was a newfound acceptance in society and this is. before you can get into the armed forces the police if you had dark skin or just an indigenous name we had to change our names after 13 years of even more alice our children could get jobs with their own names. even in national politics it's become common see something previously unheard of indigenous congresswoman wearing pour yet as traditional skirts the administration which replaced morale is to set a different tone there's been criticism that the interim administration lacks indigenous participation and instead that the top jobs have gone from members of
12:26 am
the country's traditional elite on top of that there's been accusations that the interim president herself janine years has in the past sent tweets with racial undertones. but some groups russo glad to see change outraged by moralists his brutal crackdown on indigenous protest over a motorway in 2011. and then he's slow response to forest fires which burned through indigenous to. trees this year. back and forth to hurt the restaurant owner you all are also says support here is conditional on political allegiance you look at it but it how it's because they give help to those who are from the party but those who don't belong to it don't get anything. 6 but few dispute the overall they were important games for indigenous people on the eval moral is the question is if those will remain a priority when a new permanent government is elected. john home and how does it or what the hotter

a policeman himself could only be fined and she would jeopardize his career when she asked for a divorce her husband stabbed her 57 times. the child went to wake up his mom in the morning and found her with her throat sliced open covered in blood and her eyes half closed that's how he described it himself the fact that sergei has a child was considered a soft circumstance isn't it an absurd situation he killed this child's mother he left this child alone with the body of his mom. there are no official statistics but hundreds or even thousands of russian women are murdered by their husbands every year those who manage to escape and go to a crisis center but they are only 15 government sponsored centers nationwide. literature those who are efforts to criminalize domestic violence have failed so far hundreds showed up at this protest against the new domestic violence bill

12:35 am
well in hong kong large numbers of people there have been marching a week after anti china groups swept the to the territories district elections to gas and pepper spray were used on some protesters but the rallies were largely peaceful as they've been sanctioned by the police sarah clarke reports on this now from hong kong. they can be drawn as organizers say 380000 joined sunday's anti-government rally gathered in the harbor front they marched through cow loon repeating the calls for greater democracy in hong kong i think it's very important for us to. like come out and hold together and make sure we're on the same page there still support what we're doing we all wait on 3 years to have this kind of situation until the government. requests all of the man why did not one that's. the pro-democracy groups won a landslide victory in last weekend's district elections securing
12:36 am
a majority in 18 of the city's councils. that bolster the momentum for protest groups but they want the government to meet their 5 demands including the right to choose their leader and an independent inquiry into police brutality that means all called people is not given up you can get off the election doesn't mean and it is just an added new chapter in the fact that this government has not responded to the fire demands encouraged to stay and again this rally was approved by probably the ads are you tracked in larger numbers than the other 2 rallies held in hong kong on sunday but there is still a heavy police presence in taba along this route in color within hours of this march beginning police fired tear gas on protesters they killed some of her bricks and illegally blocking major highways some retreated others continued towards the polytechnic university campus which became a protest battleground last week with students holed up inside for 12 days police
12:37 am
sealed off the area and organizers announced an early finish to the rally earlier around 1000 people marched to the u.s. consulate to say thank you to president donald trump the u.s. has passed legislation that imposes sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials responsible for rights abuses. on the other side of hong kong probation groups held the right assembly calling for the former british territory to brace the motherland after 6 months of demonstrations this political divide is showing no sign of ending sarah clarke al-jazeera. it is the 70th birthday of chile's president sebastian pinera but it's not likely to be a quiet one because in the coming hours people in chile and many other countries across latin america planning to stage a simultaneous. it's a simple type of protest banging pots and pans to show that you are angry out latin
12:38 am
america and italy san human brings us more on this now from chinese capital santiago. thank you this is the unmistakable sound of the protests. a very special kind of protest. and a very noisy one at that. the clash of the last will require support. for a pan and something to strike if we. all keep doing this until the politicians understand that inequality in chile is unacceptable for so ima get at it doesn't matter how long it takes i still have plenty of pans left. banging pots and pans became famous in chile in 1981 when opponents of the left wing government of president. came out to protest food shortages and rationing it was associated with the center and right wing opposition sociologist manuel until you got it done remembers it well. the costs are lost so were part of the best organized protests
12:39 am
that would lead to the military overthrow if i ended the idea was to attribute it to civil society and women in the name of protecting their families and children the irony is that 12 years later the 1st major protest against the dictatorship brought the pots and pans back in the middle of an acute economic crisis characterized by hunger especially on the poor and. many assume that chile was the birthplace of the class and. the practice of the banks and pan. only the 1st. appeared. in the so-called. labor they remembered. where they had bread. in america back. in europe and. one of the virtues of this form of protest is that you can do it
12:40 am
day or night on the street or from your home where presumably there's less risk of being a. especially when there's a curfew. depending on how widespread and noisy the castle law so one can gauge the degree of support for a given protest. in venezuela for example the pots and pans come out every time there's a blackout or just to protest against president hugo last month. but the practice transcends all ideologies it's simply the best way many people feel they have to make themselves heard you see in yemen al jazeera sent out. thousands of protesters known as saad deans have rallied in milan against the far right lead party the saudi movement has become a symbol of resistance to the party's controversial leading to to salvage any it started as a response to the growing strength in the north of the country of the right wing coalition led by the students young professionals joined families and retirees
12:41 am
outside milan's dorm or cathedral despite the bad weather meanwhile people in venice have less than 20 minutes to vote in a referendum on a plan to break away from the nearby city of mess today on the italian mainland but it looks like turnout was reached the 50 percent threshold needed for the referendum to be valid 5 votes of now been held on the issue since venice and mess they became a single administration while the 90 years ago late as folk and soon after venice was devastated by the 2nd highest flooding on record campaign is said to depend it would help the city deal with problems like mass tourism and flooding. joining us now is good the editor of an online magazine based in venice so you saying this is the 5th referendum of its kind to be held explain to us why some venetians think that autonomy is the answer to their problems. binny sions.
12:42 am
vaulting. they take that to their city is a specialty it is not all supposed to be well with may stray which is on the mainland the as are very different problems and they are told actually they are 2 different cities they are separated by this by the like rule no and after a very peculiar problems here in venice and quite on the mainland they have typical problem problems of the big city on the on the with the traffic and saw with the white here you have the problem linked to. the for the fact itself of being in there in the water and. the last flight of the i pad the which call for the c.t.a.
12:43 am
