very welcoming for people to come back everyone has a voice climate change is real the discussion is real and i'm here to talk about the solutions on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes. hundreds of thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of hong kong to mark 6 months of protests calling for greater democracy. the night work. relatives anguish after at least 43 people die in a new delhi factory fire. the f.b.i.

says it presumes the fatal shooting at a naval base in florida was an act of terrorism and the rising sea levels forcing an entire alaskan village to relocate their homes teeter on the edge of the world. and sport bahrain or crowned arabian gulf champions for the very 1st time maybe 3 time winners saudi arabia in the final. process leaders in hong kong say $800000.00 people turned out for a mass march marking 6 months since pro-democracy demonstrations began now they are demanding greater protection for their democratic freedoms and human rights against what they say is increasing influence from mainland china police approved the event but kept a close eye on them strangers after warning that they wouldn't tolerate any more

violence earlier hong kong police displayed a handgun and then mission which it said were recovered in a raid police say that received information that the weapon would be used to create chaos during the rally the vehicle pilot has the latest now from hong kong. i was fight for freedom one of the many slogans chanted by the hundreds of thousands who gave up their sunday for yet another protest was they came from all walks of life young and old and in all shapes and sizes the march was meant to coincide with the united nations human rights day and color is no longer free so. the fall is crumbled to the ground you like to stand out expression of opinion. hong kong is falling that 'd many marched with 5 fingers in the air to symbolize the movement's 5 demands including political reform investigation into allegations

of police brutality against protesters and amnesty for activists arrested and accused to frighten the organizers say this is the last chance for the government to give in to their demands now over the past couple of weeks since local elections showed over gaza support for the protest movement had some not subsided or become more peaceful by the government's hasn't shown any willingness to make any concessions out of iowa since june there have been hundreds of demonstrations possessions and public meetings but response from the government has been muted oh yes i don't think we should decide whether to come out by stone how effective these protests as long as i believe what i am doing is right and our demands have not been met we will continue to come out and not be deterred by the government's inaction this protest was organized by the civil human rights front the group responsible for some of the biggest demonstration turnouts. this is the 1st time

since august they have been given permission by the police for a march and it's the 1st time in months this many people have taken part in the hong kong is the only city in china where people can express dissent freely and the fight to preserve its autonomy and freedoms has attracted much international attention. to the problem could be the thing it's not just the own people it's the problem of democracy in the world many of the demonstrators left after finishing the 4 kilometer march to the city's financial center leaving behind the more hardline masked and black testers who have become a familiar symbol of the movement. as they have done over the months they set up a barricade blocking main roads while rows of police looked on the was but after hours of tense exchanges the protesters decided it was time to retreat and so with no violent confrontations remained a peaceful rally to mark 6 months since the protests and political turmoil began

devika pollin 0 hong kong. bulges there is adrian brown sent us this is says spent of the day's demonstrations in hong kong. 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 banks and shops were attacked by a radical fringe of this protest movement but we shouldn't get the impression that this was like previous protest 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 if the police are now cleared away the last of the barricades of protesters who 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 to see to their demands remember there are not just figure versus suffrage but also an independent

commission of inquiry into what they say are police actions during the past 6 months but we thought of course on sunday was a further reminder that the voice of protest in hong kong is far from diminished the head of the f.b.i. inquiry into a shooting at a united states naval base in florida says that they're working on the presumption that the attack was an act of terrorism saudi national mohammed say that shot dead 3 students at the pensacola nation's school on friday the f.b.i. says that they believe the act that alone 10 of the gunman's fellow trainees was saudi citizens are being questioned in connection with the attack we are as we do in most active shooter investigations work with the presumption that this was an act of terrorism this allows us to take advantage of investigative techniques

that can help us more quickly identify and then eliminate any additional potential threats to the rest of our community as we have stated multiple times. our investigation has not led us to any information that indicates any credible threat to our community let's go live now to mike hanna in washington d.c. who's been following developments on this story so mike how significant are the f.b.i.'s comments we've just heard about that basically there's a presumption of terrorism well what the bureau spokesman was outlining there is the protocol involved in active shooting incidents where the f.b.i. would have always treated as an act of terrorism until proven otherwise this to enforce all its investigative procedures to move far more quickly and to make

absolutely certain that there is no follow up attack to any original one so that is not the f.b.i. saying that it was not an act of terror it is saying that this is the assumption that we work on until we find otherwise the investigation is still ongoing the f.b.i. making very clear it is not yet determined exactly what the motive off the gunman was it points out how ever that a number of his colleagues who were with him on that aviation course at the u.s. base have been restricted to base while these investigations are ongoing making clear to that that was at the order of the saudi commandment in of the base area so once again we have here an active ongoing investigation the f.b.i. still not certain what motivated the attack however the republican congressman was absolutely certain for florida was absolutely certain what this attack was he described it as a premeditated act of terrorism and he insisted that no saudi student should be

allowed into the u.s. to take part in training at any base 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 it can be useful it's the new us congressman mike does it change the dynamic the fact that we are talking about a national does it make it more sensitive for the u.s. . well very sensitive indeed given the fact that in the $911.00 attacks one will remember that the majority of those who carried out that is the tax were in fact saudi nationals so the american public knowledge confronting once again an attack

by a saudi national on u.s. soil this was one of the reasons why the saudi arabian reaction was so quick in the wake of the shooting king solomon making a direct call to president trump to express his nation's condolences and to express his revulsion at the action being carried out by that saudi national normally it would be the crown prince make such contacts so clearly saudi arabia well aware of the sensitivity of the situation trying to get out ahead of it but still in among the public very much a concern a worry in particular that there were a number of other saudi nationals at that training camp and also further reports that at least one of them filmed the attack as it's taken place so many questions for the american public and deep concern for saudi arabia as to its ongoing relations with the u.s. absolutely no you'll be monitoring developments on the story for us for the moment mike hanna in washington thank you. still to come on the al-jazeera news hour an

exclusive report from iraq where al jazeera speaks with protesters who say that they have been tortured by security forces the u.k.'s political leaders enter the final week of campaigning for what's seen as a pivotal general election and then sports the much travelled italian international striker now helping is hometown club in their battle against relegation. but 1st at least 43 people have been killed in india's capital new delhi after a fire destroyed a factory in a crowded market dozens of laborers were inside the factory sleeping when the blaze started its the worst fire in the city in more than 2 decades and shove or has more now from new delhi. it's 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 doted on. 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 they 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. i refused to believe and hold people's cries they were screaming for help the poor people who died most of the workers were from was a. there is a factory where a fire broke out in old delhi there are many workshops and small factories in this area and make it difficult to access people in the city as well as across india

come here to work and live in these factories. the builders rampantly. 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. peder 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. bin by the government has ordered an inquiry to find out how the fire started and detained the owner of the 4 story building. al-jazeera you delhi. 3 saudi soldiers have been killed in fighting near the yemeni border the saudi news agency says the clashes took place in the southern region yemen's who the rebels have previously launched attacks in the area of the saudi u.a.e. coalition has been fighting the who these for more than 4 years. british prime minister boris johnson has refused to say whether he would resign if he fails to win a majority in thursday's general election in a t.v. interview johnson also insisted that he wants to cut back on immigration ephron stansell reports 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 it done and lower immigration what we want to do is bed down on migration particularly unskilled 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. 580000000. in a population able to treat the u.k. is that 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 corbin his decision to remain neutral and brags it is likely to cost him seats in leave constituencies and longstanding accusations of anti-semitism within the party have also had a negative effect 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 site 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 seats away from boris johnson a point of voting liberal democrat is to have more lib dems pays who will work to stop breaks and invariably has failed labor he won't miss a meal and in very many parts of the country it's liberal democrats who are taking on the conservatives and whether. those labor minded voters decided 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 well 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 and sara london well joining us now is political polling expert joe twyman also co-founder of the polling company u.k. mr twyman thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so this is being called the brics it election from the polling at does it really suggest that breaks it is the main topic or what do you think or what else do you think people will be thinking about as they go and cast their vote well if you're all people will so most important issue facing the country at the moment brooks it does come top but

if you say you will see most important issue facing you and your family it's health that comes talk of that particular list and really it's been a mixture of the 2 subjects that has dominated a lot of the debate throughout the election campaign we've seen a big emphasis on from the conservatives on getting bricks it done that has been in focus but labor has tried to move the attention away from bricks it as a subject to more towards general domestic issues and of course one of those the mystic issues would be immigration that we've seen the prime minister boris johnson mention again on sunday today what does that do to the polling figures does it have an impact or and perhaps not as much as they hope. oh well we'll have to wait and see but they're only a few days days remaining so far the discussions throughout the election campaign have not had a major impact on the position of the parties or indeed their share of the vote labor has slowly and steadily increase that show vote by by 5 percent but nothing

like the kind of numbers we saw back in 2017 and the conservatives have fluctuated around a bit but have been consistently 1012 points ahead of labor and so it's concern all the way through it's looked good for good for them and a no poll during the campaign has had labor closer than 6 points to the conservatives and of course as we heard in that report by catherine stansell just before we started speaking polls have got it wrong before they mislead for the referendum and then teresa mayes you know when she didn't win that the majority that she wanted back in 2017 how has the art of polling if we can call it back changed since those i guess mistakes or certainly wrong predictions were made well 10 days out from the 2017 general election i went on a number of t.v. channels to talk about the poll that i was involved in that showed that the conservatives were on for

a hung parliament and not the majority that some of the polls had predicted that was using new techniques and making the most of the kind of data that survey will but also taking account of important changes in british society not least the influence that breaks it has had people used to talk about the divisions along the left and right grounds they used to talk about people being associated with one particular party or the other and there are still true but increasingly the divisions in this country are along the lines of remaining in the new or leaving the remain as all of us is another consideration that we have to take place when we have to incorporate rather into the polling that we conduct and i mean maybe this isn't something that comes across that from the polling that you conduct. but going beyond party allegiances or who people may choose to vote vote for what does the british public think of politics in general considering it's been 3 years now since the referendum a little bit more breaks it hasn't been delivered and the whole situation does seem

a bit confusing well this is absolutely something that we look at in great detail because the lack of trust that people have in this country for politicians has been an important point not just for this election but for the political events of the last 5 years we've seen time and again a group of the voting public who are dissatisfied distrusting and disapproving not just of political parties or indeed individual politicians but of the entire political process in general we've reached the stage now where 13 percent of the public believe that the m.p.'s generally can be trusted to tell the truth and not just say what they think people want to hear that's an incredibly low figure and is cause for concern for all politicians in this campaign and beyond i guess you know listening to the figures you just quoted a turnout could also be affected by that people just giving up on the system altogether plus it said the same direction that weather is cold and miserable here in the u.k. that might have an impact on people turning out to vote do you have those kinds of

figures and how do you think a low turnout might affect results one that's hugely important what party people are intending to vote for is of course one dimension of the election result the nickel in paul dimension is whether they will choose to vote or not and as you say we have a winter election probably the 3rd time in the post-war period and the 1st december election since 1923 the impact of the cold dark days of britain during december will have the effect that i will have on turnout is unknown we only have those 'd small number of cases where it's happened previously but it certainly could be the case that if certain areas all if certain specific groups within the population are less. going to turn out the might could have an impact if older people are less likely to turn out during bad weather then that could impact on the conservatives but the point is we just don't know because this is a big load and we face this situation and no one knows with this being britain what

the weather will be like on thursday i think we can guess it's probably not going to be great but we'll see how bad it is joe twyman co-founder of polling company delta paul u.k. we will of course find out by friday afternoon i guess for the moment thank you thank you. the top security official in baghdad has been removed from his post after weeks of anti-government protests since demonstrations began in october more than 400 mostly unarmed protesters have been killed across iraq the southern city of messire and has seen some of the worst violence so on a fault in met survivors and protesters who say that they have been tortured by security forces. hospital wards in 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

u.s. led coalition the united states of america is very keen to put an end to disprove that was started long back defied 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 . friends of position and. we talk money district from taliban we're doing much better in the hay with that 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 asked for afghani 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 useful 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 ceasefire 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 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 al-jazeera kabul. 22 bodies have been recovered from mortar during floods in western uganda that's according to the red cross which is conducting a search and rescue operation with police and the military it's not yet clear how many people are missing western parts of the country on the border with democratic republic of congo were battered by torrential rain from saturday night into sunday morning at least 20 others have been killed as a result of floods and mudslides in the past. 2 days after a building collapse in kenya rescue crews are found a pair of survivors while digging through the day bri they are being treated in
