violence in darfur what this means for free speech and the democratic rights of its citizens police on trial on al-jazeera. zerah. in iraq and to the news i'm lauren taylor nandan with a top story from europe. a shooting attack near russia's f.s.b. security service in what moscow is calling an act of terrorism. and also ahead in the next 60 minutes a political breakthrough an 11 on former education minister has a son has been chosen by the president to be prime minister. libya's government in

tripoli except to takesh off a military support while battling forces loyal to the world khalifa haftar and donald trump is impeached but house speaker nancy pelosi refuses to say when she'll send the articles to the senate for trial. with all the base court. to appeal its 4 year ban from sports for doping offenses president vladimir putin says the sanctions. and politically motivated. will begin with breaking news from moscow where there's been a shooting near the headquarters of russia's security service the f.s.b. and he's one person who's been killed and several others have been wounded they've s.p. says there was only one attacker in the incident and they've now been killed the fokker reports. the sound of

gunfire echoes through the streets of the russian capital. sending people running to safety and initiating a major security operation by heavily special forces you to get position on street corners. according to russian media report a man attacked the reception of this building a look bianca's square in the center of moscow is the home of russia's federal security service the f.s.b. and its communist era peta sesa the k.g.b. . the attacker then reportedly fled to a neighboring building barricaded himself inside security services then shot him dead. seen to help several casualties you blind you know he was as though the russian president was informed about the shootings that happened on the same day vladimir putin was holding his annual showcase press conference james green live on russian television putin was formally in f.s.b.

chief before entering politics. it's unclear what the attackers motive might have been or whether he was acting alone the authorities are now trying to establish his identity the al-jazeera. is going to step vast news at the scene of the shooting in moscow some dramatic events there tell us what's happening now. but you can see that their whole area here in the center of moscow still love cordoned off but it is a bit quieter than it was before when of course there was a huge panic when the shooting that happened right behind me here this is the evidence we had brought to us there in moscow for my k.g.b. had quarters and of course it's a bit of a shock quite a shock that an attacker could reach that office so near and that this shooting has taken place and that he has managed to kill one of the f.s.b. officers and after a shoot out with the new has been shot himself that's what we. no so far but there has been also other reports on artist regulation that there might have been more

attackers but that something that would be is very strongly denying they started with this only one solo attacker but he was carrying a machine gun as we call the kalashnikov a very famous of course russian a machine gun and there's a lot of questions on how he could manage to get to this very heart of the russian secret service and it's only recently happened but are there any early indications of what might have been the motivation. but so far we have no confirmation on the identity of the person and also not on his motivation but it happened on the day just a few hours after president clinton british his annual a press conference he spoke for more than 4 hours and interestingly he was asked by one of the journalists what was the most distressing moment difficult moment during his 20 years in the government and in the presidency and he mentioned terrorist

attacks that was his most distressing friends and also you sad that the especially the one in 2004 in best alarm where hundreds of people it's mostly children died that was the most difficult to moment in his career and then just a few hours later this act happens at the headquarters of this institution the k.g.b. where he used to work for for 16 years steadfast and thank you very much indeed. and a move from london that nation is britain for now though let's go back to. lebanon's president has nominated an academic backed by the group hezbollah to be the next prime minister has an abscess he hopes to bring stability to the country after months of protests against the political elite the post must go to a sunny most men under the country's sectarian power sharing system now do you have emerged as a candidate when outgoing piano saad hariri withdrew again on wednesday. i'm at this beautiful idea that i extend my deep gratitude to the president and members

of the parliament that have placed trust in me i also extend gratitude to all members of parliament hoping that i'll be able to live up to the confidence they have placed in me when i form the government in consultation with the president and on the basis of the constitution so that the government will live up to the aspirations of the people a government that will live up and realize their concerns and meet their demands and provide a secure future a government that will take the country from a destabilized situation to stability under realistic reform plan that does not remain ink on paper. well for more on this let's bring in tony bad for us in beirut tony we're hearing him ask people to give him a chance how's the news the his appointment being received. well we're hearing stories already of people blocking roads predominately in sunny areas of beirut but also in tripoli people still protesting burning tires and

carrying on pretty much in the same way they have for the last 2 months these people are using social media also to voice criticism because they class mr de as being part of the old order the old lebanese political order. against whom they've been protesting now for the last 2 months they want a clean sweep over all of the government they see him as being the old side they want somebody new they will carry on protesting he was education minister in the government of mr mcgrath he in 2011 to 2014 there have been allegations about corruption completely and corroborated but there are there are lots of people who are criticizing and we're also hearing international reaction especially from israel the newspaper ha'aretz is saying that he is hezbollah's candidate now mr de was at pains to say that he was independent he wants to work for lebanon he wants to reach out to all sides so he's not a lying himself with any particular side at the moment he's got a tough job on his hands to try and get everyone together to get

a stabilized government that will appeal to everybody it has to be a cross-section and then start this very important role of healing the country and rebuilding a common an economy which is on the on the verge of collapse and we're talking about what appears from the outside to be a domestic political crisis and tony you and i have been talking about how lebanon has a long history of foreign powers getting involved in regional politics so how is his appointment likely to be seen beyond lebanon's borders. well you know that 1st response from israel is probably one of the predictable ones that can do that you've got the import from iran you've got import from syria an input from the us the undersecretary for political affairs david hale is due to arrive here in the next couple of days and he will be putting his input but we understand that people are saying it's about policy not personality they want to see a government that represents the people that seeks to heal all these riffs and make

changes that will improve the economy and the lives of the ordinary people this started over something very very simple 2 months ago a tax being put on a what's up on the internet and that just absolutely skyrocketed to what we have today and people are in no mood to stop this unless they see there's going to be definite progress so the demonstrations we're seeing tonight in tripoli and beirut we expect over the weekend will continue unless mr de can put something together a package together fairly quickly to convince people that he is the moment for the job or be watching that very closely there for us in beirut thank you tony libya's u.n. recognized government says it will accept an offer of military support from turkey and part of a deal that paves the way for ankara to play a larger role in the conflict that country the government of national accord cabinet approved the agreement on thursday the tripoli based administration is fighting an offensive by warlord khalifa haftar whose forces are trying to capture

the capital well let's go now to our correspondent went up to why he's in tripoli for us mark what i recall have to began this offensive back in april but now we're seeing fighting escalates in these recent weeks talk us through the situation there on the ground at the moment. the situation on the ground has not changed despite the fact that clashes have related lead decreased compared to the past few days especially the days that followed the half to the declaration of the zeal for his forces to enter tripoli about the tripoli. back to government of national call is trying to prevent forces from entering the capital city center that now today the government officials met with military commanders are part of the operation. that's their government to counter a military operation to prevent have to his forces from entering tripoli and they

have decided along with the government to accept the offer by the turkish president . to send. military supplies and. advanced weapons to the government of national accord now we spoke with government officials they say that this kind of corporation is part of the agreement between libya and turkey that was signed the last month between the bad prime minister here in libya and the turkish president to do one part of their greenman that turkey would support or provide the government with the weapons and also to cooperate with the government in terms of security issues now we understand from the government that this kind of support is going to be pertaining to a in defense navy and also land or military equipment to be

used by land forces by libyan land forces also the government says that it has demanded military and logistical support from the other countries of the united states the united kingdom and italy and this kind of this 2nd demand is. analyzed as. kind of. a message to these countries if they don't support the government then at least. they would not object on the libyan agreement. mom and i will have that for us in tripoli thank you mom. well there's plenty more ahead for you this news hour including violence in india where opponents of a controversial new law defy government efforts to crack down on large protests plus. the nicholas honkin bar argument you have i don't know why so many migrants travel from here through europe not through the mediterranean but across the atlantic this sort of thing. and gold isn't roger federer's sights for 2020

p. so it will happen more and. now there's been an unexpected delay in the impeachment process against us president donald trump house speaker nancy pelosi is insisting that the senate provide more details about trump's expected trial before she hands over the charges the president is accused of abusing his power as well as obstructing congress in its investigation a house speaker nancy pelosi says she hopes the senate can reach 100 percent agreement on the rules of the impeachment trial. when teach the present immediately everybody thought to the next thing the next thing for us will be when we see the process that is set forth in the senate then we'll know the number of monitors that we may have to go forward most recent and that case taking

up an impeachment there was. a proposal on the floor put together but in a bipartisan way 100 senators voted for the process on how they would go forward on the case of president clinton who would hope that they could come to some conclusion like that but in any event we're ready when we see what they have will know who and how many we will send over well the top u.s. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell has denounced what he called an unfair house impeachment of president donald trump the opposition to impeachment was bipartisan only one part of one faction wanted this out on the house's conduct wrist deeply damaging the institutions of american government this particular house of representatives has led its partisan rage at

this particular president great a toxic new precedent that will echo well into the future while minority leader chuck schumer also addressed the senate where he took aim at the president and the republicans defending him leader mcconnell claimed that democrats impeach the president for asserting executive privilege president never formally claimed executive privilege he claimed quote absolute immunity unquote. and the white house counsel wrote a letter simpson dating simply that the administration would not comply with any subpoenas we ask is the president's case so weak that none of the president's men can defend him under oath. castro joins us now live from capitol hill in washington d.c. heidi just listening to those comments there from both parties really highlighting

how violently partisan this whole process has become how much leverage does nancy pelosi actually have here. obviously very little in the stasi and that's why you're seeing the house speaker make this effort to possibly delay transmission of the articles of impeachment to the senate because really it's the only way to keep her fingers in the dough so to speak before superseding this power giving it up completely to the republican controlled senate but that's still very little leverage to begin with just the timing itself of when the senate trial may start however democrats are insistent that that trump gets a fair trial in the senate and what would make it there in the democrats' eyes is the additional testimony of 4 witnesses who are chumps trying to top aides who the american public and who impeachment investigators have yet to hear from these are individuals who may have information on that key and answered question of trump's

motives when he decided to to delay security aid to ukraine democrats say he did that with the corrupt intent to compel ukraine to announce investigations into trump's domestic rivals and republicans say that there was no corrupt intent there so the only individuals who may actually know who had day to day interactions with the president during that process will they have been barred from testify by the white house itself so we really don't know what they have to say democrats say that the american public deserves a chance to hear from them even if they end up helping to clear the president's name while republicans in the senate have a very different take they say that this was the house is duty of course the constitution gives the house the responsibility to impeach and to build this case against the president because the white house blocked those witnesses from

testifying before the house the senate says that's the house democrats' fault they're not laying any of this plane before the white. in fact the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who you just heard from he said previously that he's in total courting nation with the white house now note this is one of the jurors who will be deciding trump's fate whether or not he remains in office and who like the other senators will be taking an oath to be an impartial juror but the connell has outright said that he will not be impartial that he believes this impeachment is a sham so that is what hurdle is facing democrats before they decide to deliver these articles over to the senate really there's no telling when they will do that or really what they may achieve with this delay but they have said before they want this to go as quickly as possible in order to achieve a conclusion before the 2020 elections since they are accusing trump of trying to

cheat in those very elections. castro that live for us on capitol hill thank you heidi. well to india now where at least 3 people have now died in clashes with police during protests against a new citizenship those rallies went ahead despite a ban on demonstrations with police detaining hundreds of people across the country internet and my bar services have now been blocks in parts of the capital new delhi so how raman reports. they marched in the thousands across india in the capital with placards in hand they denounced the government and its new citizenship law i it was peaceful here a civil society leaders politicians academics and people congregated at the historic red fort near the muslim quarter of the city i was confrontation with the police it was inevitable that it was the was just going for control of the situation has been

denouncing the police the other was you know not a civil society leader you get 3 yadav and many. this party leaders were some of the high profile arrests those taken from here were released later while others were detained. there have been protests in over a dozen indian cities from new delhi to look now from mumbai to judge to go calcutta saw some of the largest demonstrations on a national day of anger as it was being called against the new immigration law. even in hyderabad police had their hands full taking demonstrators away to be processed or charged. one politician from west bengal has a warning for the b j p led government the politicians will only be the catalyst and if in our people of people the 1st part they will not accept this law and the 2nd part is the at the 1st opportunity when it comes to at the bottom they will be able to. the authorities are not taking any chances while the demonstrations grade strength and

number. the government has imposed restrictions banning gatherings of more than 4 people and cutting internet of mobile services in some areas the protesters here say they want the government to scrap the new law and that i go will likely go on until lot happens but it'll be up to those in power to determine how they deal with that anger and resentment in the days ahead. to hell robin al-jazeera you delhi. now a deadline for the nomination of a new prime minister looms in iraq eduardo mahdi stepped down from the post last month after weeks of violent protests in which more than $400.00 people were killed but the demonstrations have continued people say they want a complete overhaul of the whole political system they're angry about widespread corruption high unemployment and poor public services. rights groups are warning of an increase in forced disappearances and arbitrary detentions in iraq they say security forces are targeting anti-government protesters as

a manifold and reports from baghdad. chance of anger and defiance echoed through tahrir square friends of. those sharky demand their return and accountability for those responsible for their disappearance the 2 university students and demonstrators went missing on december 13th after they left tahrir square to meet an unknown person who had called to make a donation to their cause nobody has heard from them since. is he alive is he did we don't know they both previously got a certain nation and restraints. the journey to find the missing person begins here at the iraqi lawyers union company a vice father put travel to back about from the southern city of karbala as he registers his son's case. my son's name is. he lives in care he's a university student in baghdad and he came here to demonstrate and he's peaceful

but he was taken in we don't know which side has the iraqi lawyers union has provided free legal counsel in dozens of protest related cases many have procedural violations the 1st challenge is finding the detainee. there are random arrests and there are multiple forces carrying out arrests we don't know which side is detaining people there's also a delay in sending the detainees to the judge other violations we observed include arrests without arrest warrants more than 2600 iraqis have been arbitrarily arrested since the demonstrations began more than 100 remain in detention al-jazeera spoke to over a dozen of previous the detained or abducted protesters and activists as well as the families of those still missing the government declined our request for an interview with the fault of their arrest appear to be carried out by government forces with protesters eventually brought before a judge and then released in many cases can be characterized as forced disappearances. carried out by armed groups believed to be part of the popular.

hello again welcome back to your international weather forecasts were here across live on it is looking quite nice over the next few days most of the clouds that we were dealing with are now pushing to the east into india so we're left with a lot of partly cloudy to sunny conditions across the board temper wise we're dealing with a lot of teens for tehran that means 13 degrees few baghdad at 19 and for quite city it is going to remain about 1000 degrees but we are looking at some winds across the area as we go into the weekend well here across the gulf we have been dealing with those same winds here in doha as well the skies have been clearing slowly so we're going to see more sun as we go towards friday and into saturday and as we go towards saturday those winds will start to come down as well we do expect to see attempt here of about $23.00 degrees down to us a lot of it is going to be quite nice with plenty of sun with a temperature of $28.00 degrees and then as we go towards southern africa what we saw plenty of clouds moving from cape town over towards durban things are improving

most of those clouds and showers are now in the indian ocean will be left with the much warmer temperatures across the board for johannesburg we do expect to see $32.00 degrees here on friday durban at about $28.00 degrees and then as we go towards saturday it is going to be quite nice for cape town winds coming out of the south at $22.00 but clouds are going to be in the forecast for much of namibia if the wind hook expect to see a temper of $31.00. a city defined by military occupation there's never been an arab state here at the capital of jerusalem everyone is welcome but this depôt structure that maintains the can only project that's what we defuse it was one of the founders of the settlement with this and the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people segregation occupation discrimination injustice this is apartheid in the 21st century jerusalem a rock and a hard place on al-jazeera and this is different but there is someone going for

some of this very real doesn't matter when you think it's how you approach a visual and that's what it is a certain way of doing it you can't just. inject a story in the out. when he goes. to the. a.o. watching al-jazeera remind us of our top stories this hour has been a shooting in moscow or near the headquarters of russia's main security seventh's

the f.s.b. leaving at least one pass and dead police say the gunman has also been killed. lebanon's president has nominated an academic backed by the group to be the next prime minister says he hopes to bring stability to the country after months of protests against the political elite now that post must go to a sunni muslim under the country's sectarian power sharing system. and u.s. president has been impeached for alleged abuse of power and the obstruction of congress but speaker nancy pelosi has turned uncertainty on to the next steps by refusing to say when she'll send the articles to the senate. more now on one of those top stories the nomination of a new prime minister in lebanon. is the founder of beirut reports which produces investigative stories about lebanon he's also a lecturer at the american university of beirut and joins me now from beirut had a bit starch with michel aoun the president's thinking what was his rationale in

choosing dab is this a win for hezbollah. well the candidate was quickly supported by the president's party and michele own as well as. their allies so those are the main 3 groups have been supporting this candidate and it's a reason why people actually will maybe oppose this candidate because he's been supported so swiftly as if it was kind of planned and advance and this candidate is not seen as a particularly powerful politician with any kind of big support base he's also seen as part of the existing government he's been minister before and the part is i was specifically demanded that the government be one of independence and non allegiance with other groups who are asking how can he hold a mile and the president accountable if he's being nominated by them well he is also the former education minister very much a member of that all the stablish men and we're already seeing people go back out into the streets how is he viewed by protest is. he's viewed as you know

another repeat of this same soap opera that we're seeing is basically the political class in lebanon is failing to find candidates that are outside of the scope of lebanese political culture which is a very violent political culture we've seen in recent days where the regime supporters have gone out and beat protestors they're looking for somebody outside the system this candidate seems to be a little bit less controversial than the previous 2 candidates who are both businessmen however he's best known for a report the surrounding that's going to circulate on social media right now where he was actually published a report a 1000 page book of his accomplishments as minister of education we know a lot only one of the worst education systems in the middle east and probably in the world when it comes to the facilities for students and the challenges they face so the idea of him having a 1000 page book of his accomplishments is kind of a mockery that's going on right now among the protesters saying is this just the same old kind of political class that wants a graduate itself without actually pursuing real reform and is he just

a yes man for the powers that be well when we hadn't addressed the nation very recently he used this very conciliatory tone honest people to given the chance but we're already seeing people on the streets is that at this point now that he's already been appointed any chance of a technocratic government now. well there's roads being closed right now as we speak they're burning dumpsters they're blocking major arteries of the country there's a real discontent here the people have basically shown in lebanon that they're willing to stop any government doesn't really fit their demands of being this independent force will be pursuing technocratic government it's possible i mean it's possible that this could slide through because has been a lot of violence on the streets in lebanon lately people have been beat up by the progress of the militias and militants that are out there so there is a little bit less of a taste i guess now for continuing this protest. on this basis but it's yet to be

we're always surprised by the power of the protesters and if they are still holding that power of the streets they may be able to reject him as well how about so that the founder of beirut report speaking to us from there thanks very much for joining us on al-jazeera now the pakistani military has denounced the ruling of a 3 judge panel which sentenced former president pervez musharraf to death the special court found which are guilty of high treason for subverting the constitution back in 2007 the court then directed law enforcement to arrest him but if he dies before hand that his body should be dragged through the streets and then hanging to for 3 days the government is calling for the leader of the panel to be disbarred from sheriff he has been in self-imposed exile in the united arab emirates way he's receiving medical treatment says the verdict is politically motivated. by cool this verdict suspicious because during the hearing of this case the supremacy of the law was ignored from beginning to end this case was taken up and heard by certain people solely on the basis of personal tendency towards me

while british prime minister barak johnson has put delivering breck's at by the end of january and uniting the country at the heart of his new government's agenda to lauren taylor now with more from the european broadcast center. thanks there that's right as custom britain's queen elizabeth read out a raft of proposed new laws in a ceremonial opening of parliament a speech also outline plans to guarantee funding for the national health service and introduce a new points based immigration system for brennan reports. black rod banging on the door of the commons boris johnson knocking on the door of his destiny the prime minister looked visibly excited next to a stony faced opposition leader jeremy corbyn as the 2 men made their way through to the upper house to hear the queen read out johnson's program of reforms among a raft of new legislation there is

a singular priority my government's priority is to deliver the united kingdom's departure from the european union on the 31st of january of the 25 new bills listed in the speech 7 are related to delivering brax it but the government intends to make the most of its 80 seat majority there will be the deepest review of britain security defense and foreign policy since the end of the cold war the official secrets act and the laws on treason will be reviewed and the government will establish a constitution democracy and human rights commission to look at the very nature of how british democracy operates it is a radical programme the queen's role is over the ceremonial here in parliament has finished and responsibility for enacting this ambitious lists of legislation now falls to the m.p.'s back in the commons the prime minister was cheered by his backbenchers i know call the prime minister.

but i say to the people of this country we owe you we know it and we will deliver and we have the energy we have the ideas we have the mandate we have the people and we will spare. to fulfil that mandate from scotland though a warning to the prime minister scottish national party leader nicolas sturgeon publishing her own draft legislation to start the process of calling another scottish independence referendum sturgeon knows that the prime minister will refuse to. allow it a refusal she intends to use in her favor. for the time being though boris johnson is on a high fresh from a resoundingly lecture when equipped with a big stable parliamentary majority there is little to stand in his way for since the last queen's speech back in october was also quite ambitious but there was no chance of him ever being able to deliver a new policy that was more of a kind of shop window for the forthcoming election campaign as it was that whereas

now there is a sense that at least at least in terms of the palm tree arithmetic he can actually deliver these policies right the pace of lawmaking will be hectic there is a lot of legislation to pass and less than a year to do in e.u. trade deal and introduce a whole new points based immigration system seems an ambitious timetable it may be that actually enacting the new laws would be a bigger challenge than actually passing them paul brennan al-jazeera westminster and many working class voters in england who have traditionally voted labor abandon the party in the election now and the reports from stoke on trent which is the 1st time ever put 3 conservatives into office in this small revolution in english politics these are the streets where the voices have demanded to be heard and it isn't hard to work out why the story of the working poor in this country gets worse with every passing year in the 6th richest country in the world people who work in places like hospitals or factories are relying on someone to give them essential

for their babies because they can't afford to buy them. this church has been taken over by the sheer need most shockingly of all they told us these little packets of baby food aren't being eaten by infants but by their parents to sacrifice in their own healthful equally then you tradition by making sure so so so so they that so the children don't have to eat exactly and eat meat and also to make sure that you get the food that they need and these are these are working people working people guess differently. is just absolute sure it is extraordinary since the election all the analysis has suggested the vote for the conservatives in places like this came almost entirely from older white people who may or may not still be around to see bricks it's eventually get done even so the conservatives know their health to do something for these communities. that are expected to be

absolutely inconceivable that places like this would vote for anybody but the labor party but in this election not just a few places but almost everywhere in the midlands and north of england chose to vote conservative instead and that represents the most amazing opportunity for the conservatives to redraw forever the political map of england but only if bracks it becomes a hugely important vehicle for social change oh you. mean we've been tracking stoke on trent since people like alley and short voted to leave the european union over 3 years ago since then he has changed her mind then regrets her votes and she doesn't trust the conservatives to change stokes fortunes there's not a lot here anyway and i want to know what they're going to be fit for. you know what i want to know what are they going to be forced because this is a city that's broken and you need to get rick perry so look around huge amounts of

the north look like this with pockets of successful industry next to visions of post-industrial dispair. the conservatives have always been blamed by so many for causing this damage but now they're in charge of putting it right people would welcome any more job security and also probably higher pay jobs you know we still relatively low wage to qana me no matter what sacked here and so anything that can bring storm or upwards and prosperity to the presidency it would prevent cost to the workforce would be more than welcome but next christmas the u.k. will be out of the european union the prime minister has made himself to the parents of the children who will get one suite for christmas this year and a little toy as well if he can't make it work with them it will have failed lawrence lee al jazeera stoke on trent and e.u. court has found that a jailed catalan separatist leader was entitle to immunity that comes with being a member of the european parliament ario hunger us was jailed for 13 years in

october his role in a 2017 catalan independence referendum that was deemed illegal by a spanish corpse the european court of justice has ruled that because he was elected an m.e.p. while in prison awaiting trial he cannot be subject to detention or legal proceedings in a separate ruling by a spanish court the leader of catalonia is regional government has been found guilty of disobedience and sentenced to an 18 month ban from holding public office has vowed to appeal his conviction which is over his refusal to remove a procession as to flags from public buildings during campaigning for national and local elections. let's hear from him a team here none of this person but tonight. thanks so much sharon while tens of thousands of people have launched in cities across the dung to celebrate one year since the start of the uprising that saw president bashir removed from power crowds gathered in freedom square in the capital khartoum where earlier protesters staged

a sit in for months many are still demanding justice for those who were killed by a crackdown in by security forces will have a more going to ports from khartoum now we've seen more marches here in the sudanese capital people coming out and saying that they feel despite the achievements over the past 12 months despite the fact that their demands of change being achieved with the ousting of former president ahmed of bashir and his cabinet and the dissolution of the former ruling party they say that they feel the revolution is not over and that's because they say there has been no accountability and just as delivered not just for the lives of the protesters who were killed during the months of uprising no some of them say that crimes were committed from the time of former president already took power in $1800.00 so they want to see to see change they want to see accountability and justice for those crimes now it's worth mentioning that the prime minister who was appointed in august did indeed form a committee to look into those problems where people are saying that all the achievements

and the progress that the government is making is too slow and they say that if not just is the liver and if they don't see members of the former ruling party held to account then they will continue with their evolution and they will be taking to the streets once again to make sure that the government fulfills their demand of justice and accountability. 2 former executives that south africa's state run electricity company eskom have been arrested over accusations of fraud they're suspected of pocketing millions of dollars from the budget for 2 essential new power plants eskom provides 90 percent of south africa's that just keep up the company's struggles to meet demand and it's been forced to introduce rolling blackouts to prevent the grid from shutting down now brazilian president diable sonar is says a controversial bill allowing mining project on indigenous lands is ready for congressional approval now the plan is being proposed me of the river where nearly 14000 indigenous people live in 112 villages also has promised to quote assimilate

mining as is things tend to get out of control very very quickly mining tends to bring prostitution it's and drugs tends to bring biden and you know most indigenous communities mainly just communities in the abs are not have bad experiences with mining this isn't something new this is something that mining interests have been after in brazil for decades now and with boats that are 0 it seems that they are getting closer and closer to the bone to go sam i'm looking at some numbers here from that journalistic project that maps conflict areas in brazil and i see out of 428 growing conflicts and evolving mining companies and indigenous communities 245 some of the hoff they're located in indigenous reserves this isn't just about the environment is that talk to us about the level of violence that we're seeing here well. the very fact of the matter is that indigenous

reserves especially in the amazon regions of brazil all tend to be mineral rich they tend to be breech with precious fall. that. basically call gets anywhere else in the country because they've already been taken down in ditches reserves tend to be the most protected and best maintained. forests of brazil. but like i say they're extremely rich in resources and often in very far flung places with very little in the weight over law enforcement and in places where property is you know absolutely right so they are essentially kind of like forests agreement widens all over all the natural wealth surrounded by absolute seas on policy essentially and we this is what we've seen is an up tick

in the last at least in the last decade specially in the last 5 years of increased invasions of indigenous land this is also become this was that happened as brazil has that its powers of agricultural producer has grown you know we're looking we're seeing this year especially increased numbers of land grabs on indigenous land where people are moving into indigenous lands deforesting the land of the brazier cows they're often to be sold from the farms and with the rupee quietly in the enforcement agencies having their budgets cuts and so that's a real stranglehold was over them by the balls in our own government unfortunately most critics and environmentalists see this a problem only getting worse next year and in years to come and something we'll continue to watch very closely sam kaleeba a journalist speaking to us from sao paolo thank you so. hard on al-jazeera by the organizers of the time care 2020 lympics hour getting ready. set we'll have those details.

from next year's olympics and the 2022 world cup if the ban is upheld in your words . i think the decision is not only unfair but also against common sense and the law nothing like this is ever happened in the history of mankind in any legal system of the world and hopefully it will never happen with any punishment should be individual if someone is caught for some wrong doing then this is natural and fair but if the vast majority of sportsmen are clean how can there be sanctions applied to them for the actions of others ukrainian weightlifter alexy told richt he has been stripped of the gold medal he won of the 2012 olympics and banned for 2 years the i.o.c. has retested samples from the london games and he returned a positive test for a banned steroids so dr he no longer competes but he's banned prevents him working as an official within any sport. after the weather ruined the historic return of home test matches to pakistan the 2nd test of the series against sri lanka as
