a robbery what's in it traumatizes me most is where i was hiding there's a security guard who was right next to me was shot in the head. and i didn't realize i was injured until you out a rescue team arrived and as i was trying to get up that's when i realized i had a lot of blood that security guard was among the 67 people killed in a 4 day siege in september 7 years ago 4 gunmen stormed up market mall and will be seized by security forces their taxes why eventually killed in a government operation that some kenyans criticized as being on coordinate head slowing response and clumsy. the armed group al-shabaab based in neighboring somalia say this man carried out their talk. 3 men suspected of helping coordinate their talk was charged with multiple offenses including conspiracy to commit a terrorist act the judgment comes almost 7 years after the trial started some

security analysts say it has taken too long if we have difficult laws that do more to allow us to it's been dyed to justice especially for to resume we need more mental small's and make them conform with our times because the times we are enough become terrorism times to other major attacks in kenya have happened since westgate in 2015 gunmen killed more than a 100 people mostly students at a university in the northeast and in 21000 a luxury a school talley nairobi was attacked and 21 people killed westgate mall was reopened 5 years ago but some survivors and families of the dead remain too traumatized to visit they say they want justice and hope the decision by the court will give them closure in some way benmore hopes that their judgment in the courtroom will help heal the wounds that still run deep.

is live in nairobi for us catherine 2 out of the 3 men found guilty of that attack at westgate give us a bit more detail about what exactly the court announced. while the chief magistrate has read his. 3 and a half hours and basically recapping 7 years since the trial started in 2013 after that westgate mall was attacked and basically the prosecution had 44 witnesses and the case was really heavily hinged on telephone conversations that the prosecution says the accused with the attackers who were killed in that siege that took 4 days in 2318 so the prosecution saying that for example one of the sas one of the accused spoke a 109 times we thought one of the attackers between june 28th and september he sayed the other 2 accused also interacted with with the attackers.

also produced by prosecution or was of a vehicle that was used to ferry the attackers with the prosecutors saying that one of the accused was involved in that vehicle the prosecution also produced evidence of a laptop they said one of the accused was found with this laptop they say contained material. of terrorism nature material that was used to organize. carrying out of that attack in westgate on the defense defense lawyers say that all this evidence is circumstantial and there is no direct link between their cues passons and and the attack that took place at the westgate mall now the magistrate agreed with the defense on one. people.

who were here quoted saying that was not in direct contact with. the attackers in his defense this man said one of the attackers was indeed his brother and they they did have a communication but they were just talking on family issues you also say that the phone. is in evidence the phone that he was he was using was also be used by other family members maher is a refugee who was at the camp but the magistrate found that the other 2 men guilty of conspiracy to commit a terrorist acts of aiding in a terrorist act and also of being in possession of this material that was of terrorist nature and that was used to organize they say this this this this this act so the magistrate has set a sentencing date of 22nd of october of october and we did speak right after the

trial after the ruling we spoke to the chief prosecutor who told us that he is happy with the convictions and he also says that he is going to be pushing for the maximum penalty of 20 years catherine soy in nairobi many thanks for that. let's go to greece where leaders of the far right golden dawn party have been found guilty of running a criminal group thousands of protesters gathered outside the court to hear the verdicts and police have had to fight in a gas to break up the demonstrators it comes after the killing of a musician at a tavern in 2013 by a golden dawn member we can go to our correspondent on so rock les who is live for us in athens clearly this is a case people feels very strongly about what exactly did the court announce and why is the result so significant. well the 1st

verdict that emerged from this morning's hearing was the guilty verdict for the man who murdered by the last piece of the left wing musician on the street of a southern athens suburb on the night of 17th september 10th 2013 that was the key event that led to the unraveling of golden dawn as a political party because on the following day the then ruling conservative party put together the 2 cases including the murder case that it had been investigating golden dawn supporters and members of parliament over and sent them to the prosecutor and said these are not isolated crimes they involve not only more than one murder more than the left wing rapper there was also the murder of a pakistani immigrant and there were also attempted murders than mansel says but there were also beatings there was also illegal possession of weapons all of these

were put together and the government at the time said this is part of a pattern of behavior that suggests that golden dorn's members and followers are following orders that emanate from the top these are not isolated events and that was the 2nd important decision announced in court today the 8. members of parliament that were elected in 2012 were all convicted of participating in a criminal organization and an illegal militia masquerading as a political party 8 of them were members of the political committee and they were additionally found guilty of homing a criminal organization a charge which we understand carries a minimum sentence of 10 years so both for the specific murder of publicist he says which was the trigger for the entire golden dawn case in the last 5 and

a half years and for the general behavior of golden dawn as a political party i think people who have been troubled by the behavior of this group for the past decade have been vindicated today. many thanks for that john psaropoulos there for us live in athens well. is a reader in european politics at the university of sorry he says the returning may be the end of golden dorn but not of the far right. well that lead up loose the party the party has been outvoted in parliament anyway and this was kind of a dooming stone let's say to their fate however what it doesn't do is uproot the kind of neo fascist tendencies that may exist in greece and may be expressed through different party formations right now the refugee crisis that has been happening around europe and especially greece on the context of the islands and the

refugee camps there has been an important factor in raising issues with immigration and precisely golden dawn was that being on these particular incoming incoming set of immigrants on the islands to perform some of its violent activities now these have not gone away the fact that they will not be sponsored necessarily or be initiated by officials of the golden dawn doesn't mean that the groups that are against immigration are not still. very much active on the islands as well there's been fierce fighting of a nice as armenia and azerbaijan continue that battle over the disputes in the gold mcadam by cretin both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians these are pictures from the armenian side which show damage from a very shelling instapundit the main city in the gonna cut back this is

a recently released video showing a missile attack on the azerbaijani city of gonda the azerbaijani side to say media has launched attacks on several of its main cities resulting in more than 20 civilians deaths the amnesty rights group says there is growing evidence that cluster bombs are being nice in the conflict cluster bombs are banned by more than 100 countries but not by armenia or azerbaijan but it's met is in gora's in armenia with the very latest on the fighting. the evidence of those cluster bombs came from the armenian side they've been used they had been seen landing in armenian territory you haven't seen evidence of them landing in should clarify that has been extensive fighting overnight extensive bombardment of panic at the main city in the going to karabakh and other towns and cities that continued this morning karma now and in azerbaijan as well there's been targeting of towns and cities on that side

on their side of the line of control so still a lot of fighting going on and still fighting right along the line of control 180 kilometers top to bottom north to south on either side of the border of nagorno-karabakh. and we should also say as well today the vladimir putin has essentially clarified all reminded people about russia's role here we know that turkey is backing. turkish drones are being used in attacks on territory nagorno-karabakh turkish president. has said that he supports azerbaijan which is a linguistic and ethnic and cultural kin of putin has said that it will fulfill its. obligations within the correct collective security treaty so wards armenia that is to say it will protect armenia if the republic of armenia's

territory is attacked but it's not being attacked nagorno-karabakh is recognized as azerbaijani territory so russia is not going to get involved in this fight. still ahead on al-jazeera. donald trump criticized for broadway ending negotiations over an aid package that would have helped those who lost their jobs during the qur'an of ours and to make this about saying actually there's a point of similarity there's a point of empathy that we can all come to. a stroll very london's king prostrate train station for me to stand on the ground on gallery said passing tennis and new people around the world. we have a developing thai food now making its way towards the smaller islands of japan you

here watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories this hour 2 men happened found guilty for their role in a shopping center attack in kenya 7 years ago dozens of people were killed when a gunman besieged the westgate mall in nairobi a man who also face charges under the country's terrorism laws was acquitted. leaders of the greek far right golden dawn party have been found guilty of running a criminal group thousands of protesters gathered outside the court to hear the verdict police firing tear gas to break up the demonstrators as. it was faced by saying as armenia and azerbaijan continue their bass all over the disputed nicole mcadam back region both have released pictures they say show evidence of attacks on

population centers by screen amnesty says there is growing evidence that cluster bombs are being used in the conflict. to stun where there is an air of uncertainty over who is actually running the country and when the current political unrest will end he is the latest fallout from sunday's now an old parliamentary election. the prime minister but of has been replaced by an opposition politician who was freed from prison by protest is just a day ago anti-government demonstrations have seen government buildings taken over bought their pay is to be division amongst those all position groups over what to do next this was all sparked by an election many say was rigged now there are questions over whether another vote will take place if the president is still in control of the country correspond child that has all the latest from bishkek. the

chaos very much continues here in bishkek the case against capital and there's a lot at stake it's been a very interesting day today you can obviously see people giving speeches behind me here in the main square where we witnessed those scenes of security forces clearing protesters a couple of days ago and after those disputed elections the situation since then has changed dramatically unity between any opposition groups has completely broken apart and some of the speeches that are being given today have serious ramifications as well in the context of this man so there is a major part of the new prime minister who was voted into power last night in an emergency parliamentary session we had speeches given by certain opposition parties today that seem to be rejecting that appointment of. of dzhokhar if they work they were saying that the only legitimate authority in this country is the parliament

but we're implying that because they were so few n.p.c. participated in that vote to pass role as him as prime minister is illegitimate they also called for an impeachment of the president and they called for the arrest of one of what is considered to be one of the president's main allies chuckle rain but much of all that was a very powerful clan leader who was a big funder of one of the big pro-government parties that did well in these disputed elections and so much attention is being paid on them over voter allegations allegations of voter fraud. senior white house adviser stephen miller has become the latest member of the trump administration to test positive a cave at 19 he joins a long list of those who now have a virus and the outbreak appears to have spread my counterparts. steven miller is president trump's top speech writer and policy advisor and

president's health mr biden's health as well frankly they are the 2 oldest presidential nominees in american history a book right now with the president ill and some questions swirling about how truly is it really puts into stark contrast what this debate is actually about in it used making sure that a person is ready to become president at a moment's notice in terms of substance the debate will almost certainly focus on how the trumpet ministration has handled the pandemic that puts pince who chairs the white house coronavirus task force in a difficult spot he ran the task force he was chosen by the president to do it he was responsible for those early you know statements about just flattening the curbs i mean i imagine those that are working with kind of iris in preparation for this debate are spending a lot of their time coming up with creative ways to lay this all at the feet of the vice president and the president the style of the 2 candidates is quite different
