but there was good there with an exclusive documentary syria the last assignments on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. santa maria this is the news hour from al-jazeera a sea of people in the streets of hong kong as hundreds of thousands mark 6 months since the anti-government demonstrations began. also in the news at least 43 people killed in a fire in one of the oldest markets in the capital of india. and barbara starr in london with the top stories from europe including a final push to the polls the u.k.'s political leaders enter

a final campaigning for what's seen as a pivotal general election. the u.s. defense secretary says washington will take precautions to ensure the safety of its military bases after the gun attack at a naval base in florida. and in sport bahrain are crowd arabian gulf cup champions for the very 1st time maybe 3 time champion in saudi arabia in the final in. our very own protest leaders in hong kong say 800000 people have marched through the city in a show of anger and frustration they are demanding from their leaders greater democratic freedoms and human rights this march the culmination of 6 months with widespread protests now police did approve sunday's event they warned though they would not tolerate a rip. piece of recent violence demonstrations in fact just before the march began

they displayed this of the handgun and unishe and which they say were recovered during a raid saying the weapons would have been used to create chaos during the march when i joined brown is covering the protests for us from hong kong and he said there was a noticeable change in the atmosphere during sunday's match what we got today was a flavor a reminder of what this protest movement was like when it began 6 months ago powerful peaceful and that's the way it largely was on sunday there was a little bit of vandalism a few mainland own banks and shops were attacked by a radical fringe of this protest movement but that shouldn't be shouldn't we shouldn't sort of get the impression that this was you know like previous protests which of often ended in serious violence this was largely peaceful as you can see behind me the center of hong kong is basically back to normal it's just after 11 pm at night here the police are now cleared away the last of the barricades the

protesters have have disappeared into the night now the organizers of this march say that this was the last chance for the chief executive of hong kong kerry land to see to their demands remember there are not just figure versal suffrage but also an independent commission of inquiry into what they say are police actions during the past 6 months what we've got of course on sunday was a further reminder that the voice of protest in hong kong is far from diminished. that's edge in brown in hong kong and now some analysis from steve sang who is the director of the china institute so as a university in london he actually expects the protests in hong kong to continue for the coming months he told hashed had changed in terms of nature and focused from this summer. when it all started in june it was about the n.t.

is about the extradition biro now deportation is really not about the extradition bill it is about governance in hong kong how the priest behaved 'd and whether hong kong can have democratic accountability unless those are being met. isn't it any longer beijing is not going to make concessions to protest hers will continue to protest we already seen them going back to the streets trying to send a clear message to the governments in hong kong and in beijing should get them to go and work or a political solution and wanted any repressive forced and then you also have the government in hong kong led by the chief executive who is frankly politically illiterate and doesn't understand what needs to be done and and does not have the courage to do what it takes to plan a political solution so this will continue for

a few more months i think. let's move on to other news and a fire in india's capital has killed more than 40 people it tore through one of the oldest markets and burned down a factory and is the worst fire in the city in more than 2 decades the support from new delhi with. the toughest call anyone has to make there really has lost 3 brothers in a fire that broke out in old delhi he says the youngest. was the most devoted. my mother. she loved my youngest brother. and the relatives of many others are waiting at the mortuary to take the remains of their loved ones dozens of people suffocated as this slept in their factory and nearly 20 others were taken to hospital for treatment. so he lives in the area and saw what happened he says one of the workers from the northern state of bihar who has been

injured is his friend. the bullies and hold people's cries they were screaming for help the poor people who died most of the workers were. there as the factory where a fire broke out in old delhi there are many workshops and small factories in this area that make it difficult to access people in the city as well as across india come here to work and live in these factories. and don't do enough to prevent fires like these. in this case people also blame the electricity department some say they filed a complaint with the authorities several times to get the electrical wires sorted but nothing was done they say the fire may have begun in a factory that made plastic toys and bags. the rescue operation was

a challenge because it was congested and there was a lot of small due to burn plastic inside the building which made the operation difficult to carry out. earlier this year a fire swept through a hotel in the city killing 17 people the next day another fire broke out at a factory. heder is not sure how to inform his mother about their loss he says his brother came to new delhi looking for better opportunities and thought he would be safe here in the capital. being by the government has ordered an inquiry to find out how the fire started and detained of the 4 story building. you delhi the u.s. defense secretary says washington will take more precautions to ensure the safety of its military bases as comments come after the gun attack at the naval base in florida on friday in the last hour the f.b.i. held a news conference and said they are working under the presumption that this was an

act of terrorism it was a saudi national mohammed saeed who shot dead 3 students at the aviation school 10 saudi citizens are being questioned in connection with the attack so some were detained friends of his that were also on that basis i understand it and i also was told that some one or 2 were filming it what's unclear is where they filming it before it began or was it something where they picked up their phones and film that once they saw it unfolding that may be a distinction with or without a difference but again i it's why i think we need to let the investigation play out more with mike hanna now in washington in addition to what we hear from the defense secretary mike who else has been discussing this issue this sunday. well come on let's just start with that if the our news conference that was held near the naval base in florida the special agent in charge of the investigation spoke to reporters not giving very much away in terms of what has been discovered at this particular

point however there were a number of important points that she did confirm such as the friends and fellow saudi nationals off the gunman being held at the base they are being restricted to the base they are not in detention at this particular stage and the special agent in charge says they are cooperating with ongoing interviews from the investigators so certainly this is an important point as you mention the f.b.i. is operating on the presumption that this was an act of terrorism but this is more a protocol rather than a discovered fact they are still finding out exactly what the motive of the gunman was about the florida representative in the house of congress very very clear that he believes this was a premeditated act of terrorism that's what he put out on his twitter feed he also says that programs that bring in foreign nationals to train at u.s. bases must be frozen until this investigation is concluded we need to

have a review of this program and it's my belief that as secretary asper is looking at the record keeping the accounting for the saudi nationals that are in our country the continuous observance and monitoring of their activities to ensure that there is not radicalization while that's going on we should pause this program we should not be taking new incoming saudi students until we are absolutely confident in our vetting process so is it fair to say then might that the fact that this was a saudi national not just any foreign national but specifically a saudi national who carried out the attack that is changing the narrative in the story and the reaction in the u.s. . well certainly a scholar of the public reaction to the shooting remembering of course that to the $911.00 attackers the majority of them were saudi nationals so here you've got a situation once again where there's an attack on u.s. soil by a saudi national and many of the public are making that connection back to 911

certainly there is a great deal of concern and it's interesting that at that f.b.i. news conference it was emphasized time and time again that there is no ongoing threat to the community the f.b.i. a special agent going out of the way to comfort people and to make very sure very clear that there is no wider plot in existence that is still ongoing so certainly this is an attempt to placate a deep degree of public concern a concern centering around the possibility that this may not have been an act by and one isolated individual but may be part of a broader conspiracy that could still be ongoing the f.b.i. making very clear that this is not the case according to their investigations to date thank you mike hanna in washington. the top security official in baghdad has been removed from his post after weeks of anti-government protests since the demonstrations began in october more than 400 mostly unarmed protesters

have been killed right across the country we're looking today at the southern city of nasiriyah which is seeing some of the worst violence similar folks in met survivors and protesters who've said they were tortured by security forces. hospital wards in the remain full after security forces opened fire on protesters last week in the intensive care unit this demonstrator who was shot in the head clings on to life prayers are all his family has left after doctors declared him politically dead the lucky ones if they can be called that recover from non fatal gunshot wounds the flags they carried defiantly penned to their hospital beds 17 year old safe says all he wanted was a homeland instead he got a bullet in his leg or what though when they started shooting we were treated as we ran one guy next to me fell down i couldn't just leave him but when i attempted to carry him i was also shot and fell and the 3rd one who came to help us also fell on

me. video shows the moment of the attack the government has issued an arrest warrant against a senior security force commander and promised an investigation. that there is an investigative committee formed for this purpose at the highest levels and for sure the people in charge of the investigation will bring those responsible to account and they will be punished by the law but the victims' relatives want more i want the government to change i don't want this government i demand my son's rights what is his guilt her son safe was shot in the stomach neither the violence nor the bullets that remains lodged in his hip are enough to silence him the 22 year old has no stable job and no hope for a better future than they killed me a long time ago i'm dead whether or not i go out to demand my rights i don't have anything i'm dead because of the situation wherein i don't feel alive. the 3 has been rocked by violence many times since u.s.

troops invaded 16 years ago but iraqis say they are suffering unprecedented suppression now hundreds have been temporarily detained since protests began october 1st this activist says he was lurched to a meeting by intelligence officers who then arrested him. i got a call from someone it was an unknown number he said i'm so and so we have supplies for your tent and we want you to take it to your tent specifically for your tent he was tortured and interrogated for 16 hours his body still bears marks of electrocution and then x. ray shows a fractured rib. they call it an investigation but it's not an investigation it's torture they beat being gave me electrical shocks in every part of my body. he told me to confess i asked him what can i confess he asked who do you belong to what is your organization who supports you do you have foreign sides behind you i

said i don't have anything like the bulk of those arrested he will soon released on bail but many believe the use of violence is likely to continue the problem that we have use it as a government by other side of they call them party the problem there is theoretical type of investigation. but without. the crackdown has stoked fear among demonstrators that the same time fueling more anger the people of macedonia have seen too much and lost too many to simply return to normal life seem wonderful team al-jazeera. let's have a look at what's coming up for you on this news hour the 1st case of polio in malaysia in more than 25 years we'll look at what it means for the efforts to eradicate the disease worldwide. and also

more on the search for migrants and refugees off the coast of mauritania. and in sport we'll hear from the boxer. who says the world heavyweight title belts a banquet i belong. so let's look at that polio story a 3 month old baby boy in malaysia diagnosed with the disease it is incurable and it can cause paralysis what's significant is that this is the 1st case reported since 1902 malaysia a country that was actually declared polio free back in 2000 but vaccination rates in some areas dropped below 95 percent and that's allowed the disease to reemerge comes months after the neighboring philippines reported its 1st polio case in 26 years despite the setbacks that the global efforts to eradicate polio vaccination has been highly effective infections have dropped 99.9 percent since the program

began in 1988 with us on skype from houston is peter hotez who is the dean of the national school of tropical medicine also a professor in the departments of pediatrics molecular virology and microbiology at baylor college of medicine i hope i got all that right there peter thank you for your time. let's just get a better. but let's deal with absolute basics here is it as simple as the fact that some people didn't get vaccinated and that's what means it comes back because for it to come back after 25 years that's the really significant thing here. i think the the what happened was after the case of flacid paralysis the case of polio was found in this particular area in borneo near sabo in sabah which is close to the philippines the malaysian authorities conducted an investigation and they identified up pocket where large numbers of kids were not being vaccinated so all

of the more than $100.00 kids they looked at only around 1020 percent actually had been vaccinated so i think that's where the where the problem was overall malaysia is doing quite well and another interesting thing about malaysia is they now use the inactivated polio vaccine the killed polio vaccine which cannot cannot replicate outside the body so the fact that there was a live hole it was a mutated viral strain means it probably came from somewhere else and they believe it actually came from philippines based on the sequencing of the rise and how easily or otherwise can it spread. well the problem is you know once you have a an actual case of paralytic polio there's probably a lot of other individuals infected that's what makes polio so difficult to eradicate up reach as opposed to smallpox where if you're infected with smallpox you show the clinical signs and symptoms of smallpox right away so that by the time

you see a case of polio you have to assume that others may be infected with the virus as well so your so you play catch up so it it is a tougher problem to eradicate than some of the other viral infections but as you rightly point out the global polio eradication initiative is that extraordinary at 99.99 percent reduction since 1988 to the point where holyoke transmission is only going out in 2 countries right now in afghanistan and pakistan so i'm hopeful that this is an aberration and and we will see now that now that the authorities have gone in and vaccinated this gap the gap area i think will be ok the bigger the larger problem is the fact that we're starting to see lapses in all vaccination programs in pockets globally so the philippines has had a big issue with what we call vaccine hesitancy with parents fearful of the effects

of vaccines and not vaccinating their kids and now of course this is playing out in samoa in a terrible way were 60 children died from measles so this is kind of a new world order we're facing this era of vaccine hesitancy for the 1st time this year the world health organization has listed this problem as one of the top 10 global health threats and i'm fearful that 2020 is going to look even even worse so what's happening what happened this year in the philippines with parents refusing to vaccinate what's happened in somalia is we're going to see more and more of this because the anti vaccine movement has become so pervasive now on the internet and so politically active paid a great to talk to thank you for joining us peter hotez in houston. 22 bodies have been recovered after flooding in western uganda according to the red cross toronto rain battered parts of the country on the border with democratic republic of congo it started saturday night went into sunday morning at least 20 others were killed

donald trump halted the meetings back in september following the killing of a u.s. soldier now though he's hoping for a solution before the 2020 presidential election tony berkeley has this report from kabul. when president trump abruptly canceled the talks of the taliban in september he said it was because of the killing of a u.s. soldier he said the talks were dead but many believe it was because it was felt the u.s. was giving away too much or too little but with the resumption of talks in doha observers say they are starting where they left off with no change one thing is for sure the u.s. led coalition the united states of america is very keen to put an end to disprove that was started long back there had 9 rounds of talks in 2018 in 2019 and perhaps this is the time where it needs to be done and dusted the afghan government has been sidelined from the previous year long dialogue because the taliban refuses direct talks but president ash afghani's government bolstered by

a series of military successes is quietly optimistic that now the talks will lead to a place at the negotiating table few months ago. was an defense position . of position and. we took the money district from taliban we are doing much better in there is too important and one ceasefire. one of. both of these demands have been rejected by the taliban in the past but president trump talked optimistically about a cease fire during a visit to u.s. troops in afghanistan in november where he also met the afghan president ashraf ghani taliban wants to make a deal and we're meeting with them and we're saying it has to be a ceasefire and they want to do is use it now they do want to do

a ceasefire i believe would probably work. but so far the taliban has not responded to that claim the afghan army with u.s. air support has been taking territory recently but the taliban still controls more than 50 percent of the country it's unlikely the taliban will agree to a cease fire before there's a definitive signed agreement for a u.s. troop withdraw it's still in a strong position and a cease fire is a valuable bargaining chip it won't give away easily afghanistan has been in political deadlock since his presidential elections 3 months ago the results are still not been released because of allegations of widespread vote rigging and fraud that is unlikely to help the peace process the taliban has said the war is now about time and money and it has the time president trump is keen to reduce the financial burden and bring the troops home and he wants that done before next year's presidential election for such a complicated issue that may be an overly ambitious time frame tony berkeley

movement began. a fire in the indian capital new delhi has killed more than 40 people was at a crowded market in the old quarter of the worst fire in the city more than 2 decades. and in the last hour the f.b.i. has held a news conference regarding friday's deadly gun attack of the naval base in florida staying stating that they are working under the presumption that this was an act of terrorism the u.s. defense. secretary also says washington will take more precautions to ensure the safety of its military bases. so politicians in the u.k. have been making their final pitches to voters on the influential sunday morning political shows this is ahead of thursday's general election more on this one in london. come out thank you yes the british prime minister boris johnson has refused to say whether he would resign if he fails to win a majority in a t.v. interview johnson also insisted he wants to cut back on e.u.

immigration catherine stansell reports now from london. it's the final push to the finish line with just days to go before the election the party leaders are rallying for every vote some appeared on the u.k.'s main political programs including prime minister boris johnson he appealed to voters who want to leave the e.u. promising to get bags of done and lower immigration what we want to do is bear down on migration particularly skilled workers who have no job to come to and i think that's what's happened over the last couple of decades or more you've seen quite a large number of people coming in from the the whole of the e.u. out 580000000. population able to treat the u.k. as though it's basically part of their own country and the problem with that is there's been no control at all but critics say by using the skill points based

immigration model johnson describes migration will actually increase something brags that voters don't want. support for the main opposition labor party has steadily increased jeremy corbyn its decision to remain neutral and brags that is likely to cost him seats in leave out in constituencies and longstanding accusations of anti-semitism within the party have also had a negative the fact we've done everything i think we can possibly do are apologize to the jewish community for the suffering we've inflicted on them on the sides of the we're doing everything possible we're going to learn more lessons and we want to be the show me an example of anti-racism that the labor party should be in and squeezed between the 2 main parties is joe swinson of the liberal democrats her party strategy has shifted from trying to get to 10 downing street to taking see. so way from horace johnson the point of voting liberal democrat is to have more lib dems pays who will work to stop breaks and in very very labor he will miss i mean

and in very many parts of the country it's liberal democrats who are taking on the conservatives and whether those labor minded voters decide to back the liberal democrats in lots of seats will help to determine whether or not boris johnson has a majority the latest polls suggest the conservatives could secure a majority but the polls got it wrong when it came to the e.u. referendum as well as predicting that series some may would win a majority in the 2017 election if there is a hung parliament boris johnson will face a challenge trying to find partners to prop him up as will jeremy corbin the liberal democrats have refused to partner with either leader the political quagmire could throw britain's future in the e.u. into further doubts catherine stansell of sarah london hundreds of protesters are taking to the streets in malta once again calling for prime minister joseph muscat to resign immediately it comes after the outgoing leader held a meeting with pope francis amid a crisis over the investigation into the murder of a journalist the political stability of the mediterranean island has been shaken by

the death of daphne when it was killed by a car bomb in 2017 the prime minister is not directly implicated but people in his inner circle have been linked to attempts at a cover up joseph muscat has said he will step down in january but protesters say he should go now. the french government says it will see through the pensions reforms that have caused the nationwide protests but will introduce its plans gradually and address public concerns transport systems across the country have been paralyzed for a 4th day as climate change demonstrators joined the protests prime minister a toward a few leaps says he will present a detailed outline of the pension reform plan on wednesday unions plan a 2nd them stray sion on tuesday after the 1st protest last week attracted 65000 people in paris. and fountains of ukrainians have held

fear their livelihoods could disappear if nothing is done out of which also has more from kampala the capital of uganda. john suhaila has been a fisherman nearly all his life so is his father and grandfather too it's how the bills get paid but he says something has not been right for a long time on lake victoria. the water is warmer than yes before this is the 1st fish she's caught in alice. waters every time i come to fish i catch very little it's said sometimes i don't get enough to properly take care of my family. scientists one life in africa's largest freshwater lake could die if the warning signs continue to be ignored millions in east africa depend on lake victoria but when think fish stocks are being blamed on overfishing pollution and climate change its pressure will we have issues lifting it worked live within the city where they live was country nor the expose idiot read these issues tend to breed which is like

enough people believe the eggs in mists switch up with new sun i don't be sure and if they've limited changes and they look at what it is it is losing get exposed and their production is quickly her fish farming is one way of repaying missing stocks for the domestic and international markets fish a rate in cages and given food and you change daily it usually takes about 9 months but sloppier fish to reach maturity. will be in a smaller sure big volume of water we bought for moxon mom activity take a fair view of things behind us if the kid who has the top dog should be for volume of 608 it. may pass out or for this the kid you would stalk $55.00 on the fish the from the $50000.00 fish when we harvested them. they wait all 500 grams. of 90 percent we are able to get

printed 5 tons of fish from this small volume. with the rising temperatures contributing to climate change and threatening to wipe out entire species fish farming is being encouraged but the cages are expensive to buy for poor fishermen. fishing is one of uganda's leading export earners if the fish in lake victoria continue to disappear it's not only the economy that will be devastated but entire communities for generations to come. until alaska now where after centuries of living on their ancestral land rising river levels have forced a group of indigenous people to abandon their homes climate change has triggered stronger storms causing the land to crumble away how does your castro travel to the town of new talk to learn of the financial and the emotional toll of finding a new place to live. 2000 years ago the you pick people began
