forward into the indigo lives for a generation we have to work for the next generation to get democracy to them if we want to in this military dictatorship the demonstrations which are spread across the country have been largely peaceful although police fired shots in the town of mia wanted on sunday to disperse the crowd and video showed at least 2 protesters being arrested a man might emerge from nearly 50 years of military rule in 2011. people here are aware of the military's violent crackdown of past uprisings but some say they're not afraid i know that our ancestors had a ready made revolution against the military we can dislike the military when citizens had already shown their demands by voting we are on the streets to show that we are against the military dictatorship. a near total shutdown of the internet and disruption of phone lines was partially lifted on sunday facebook and other social media platforms had already been blocked the un special rapporteur on

12:10 am
military clients al-jazeera. earlier on i spoke to one of the protestors in me and we're not naming her for her safety and not mentioning our location either show me that demonstrators are worried about being targeted by the military . but there are more that only 200000 people in our challenge today and there are a lot of protests tomorrow around the country like it was so much more than yesterday there were there were a lot of police cars and the merchant merchant called on the there are about 10700 the police on the straight but they're not doing anything that is standing on waiting for hours and people are protesting very pretty chilly so they don't shoot out or do anything and we're worried about that because they get the good guy back in line to make a so we don't worry about that but people are protesting peacefully today we live in the connection with restored so we that we've got information from facebook and
12:11 am
from our friends and iraq. for the coming days so people can protest and i'm so i'm fairly i'm sure to come to god because i was actually. you're watching al-jazeera live from london still ahead for you on the news hour dorian's have less than an hour now to cause that vote for the next president with men eager for a return to socialism. israel is restrictions almost 6 weeks into its nationwide coronavirus lockdown have that story and then also he is going to be here a bit later on with all the sports looking ahead to the fee for club world cup semifinal in castle between by munich and i've only. seen 2 days of protests now against police violence off to
12:12 am
a street juggler was shot dead relatives and friends have gathered in the capital for francisco martinez remeron as wake the 27 year old was killed on friday in a small lakeside resort in the south of the country but he say he resisted a routine identity check the pit officers have been heavily criticized for incidents of alleged brutality over the last year that's now speech on latin america edited we see a new man who's been following the story and santiago awake from martinez tell us about the mood amongst people there. well there's a lot of anger as you can imagine hundreds and hundreds of people have been coming here to the house where madness his family lives and where his body is. you can see them some of them a lot of them behind me and they've been demanding justice they believe that he was murdered in cold blood by a policeman cold blooded murder of the policeman had fired 5 shots 2 of them at the
12:13 am
ground and then the other 3 apparently directly at point blank range at my 15 ish who died on the side on the footpath right as a few minutes later so it is the at the latest incident that has inflamed political passions here we saw a bus just 2 blocks from here that was burnt by hooded if people we don't know who they were and we've also seen riot police water cannon trucks that are roaming this area but they haven't come yet however i can say that there are people who are carrying and holding rocks in their hands just waiting to confront the police at any moment and as it gets darker that is likely to happen as has happened so many many times especially when a protester or even in this case a simple street artist is killed by police whether on purpose or not. what's going to happen to the policeman who killed him this here and they're going to be hello are they going to be charges because he is now in detention.
12:14 am
yes he is in detention there is an investigation under way the prosecutor's apparently going to charge him with a murder with it with those homicide with a a fire a weapon but the policeman claims that he acted in self-defense so this is just the beginning of what could be a very long process and people here do not believe it was self-defense they say that the the juggler was carrying sables. he would have somebody who doesn't agree but anyway the juggler was carrying a saber. that he used for his for his act that were made out of tin so if this is the case the weapon or the so-called weapon has now gone missing then it clearly could not have been something with which he could have killed at the policeman so this is going to take a long time but it has as i say been inflaming passions and it's going to cause more and more disruptions as we had seen in the in a boy year where this took place where the municipality was burned down as well as
12:15 am
9 other buildings and they've been acts of vandalism here in the capital as well thank you very much our last america to see you seen him in there in santiago chile thank you see here. we go to ecuador now where people have less than an hour left to vote on who they want to succeed president lenin morena but with a record 16 candidates vying for the presidency a runoff election looks likely in april the main challenges are the leftist andres are ours and conservative lasso are ours is backed by the former leftist president rafael correa who's barred from being his running mate because of a corruption conviction lasso has run for president twice before and intends to continue the current leaders pro market agenda i was under m.p.'s he is in neighboring colombia and joins us now what are you hearing about how voting has gone so far.
12:16 am
yes mary things have been going smoothly throughout the day in most of what we do understand that there are long lines in front of the polling stations that's due to restrictions that have been put in place because of the pandemic of course so there is a limited limited amount of people that can enter these polling places at the same time and electoral officials are now saying that anybody who is in line by 5 pm local when the vote was expected to and will be allowed to cast a vote so this will probably go on for a while before everybody actually manages to vote given the situation but there haven't been any sort of major incidents a lot of people seem to be interested in voting in this election in was one of the worries because of the pandemic and also because of the economic
12:17 am
situation and people seem a bit tired about politics in general in the country but again the frontrunner. wasn't able to vote he did go to a pole station with this 106 year old grandmother he wasn't able to vote because until recently was a resident of mexico but he said that he believes this is a day a joyful day for ecuador and one in which he hopes his supporters will be able to restart their citizens revolution that was spearheaded by his mentor rafael correa the conservative last so vote in the industrial city. and he said that he expects these elections to go to a runoff that he then believes he'll be able to win. and it is largely seen as a referendum on former president rafael correa and his legacy tell us more about
12:18 am
how this vote could affect the future direction of the country yes ecuadorians are quite divided on who to blame on the current conditions the economic conditions the crisis that the country is living which started way before . some believe that this is still the consequences of the legacy of the decade in power. korea who himself is not in the country he has been accused of corruption he's a risk of being arrested if you tries to return to ecuador but he still is a larger than life figure in ecuadorian politics so much so that rather. a very little known kind of date such. as the front runner so far other people
12:19 am
instead believe that lenny moreno is to blame of the current president for essentially be training their legacy. what's clear is that this is front and center in these elections and it will really change the way forward in the country for the coming years all right thank you very much on a sunday on p.r.t. in bogota thanks haiti's president has announced that more than 20 people have been arrested accused of plotting to overthrow the government. the group had been promising to kill him for more than 2 months supreme court judge in a senior police official were among those detained us come on the day the opposition has called on the president to resign saying his term has ended but he disagrees and says his 5 year term ends in february next year. well let's now speak to money rapido is following developments from mexico city so
12:20 am
i mean this was a cunt this is a country already facing its fair share of challenges now you have the opposition demanding that the president step down he's refusing to do so how much how much on rest could this cause in haiti. we've already seen quite a bit of unrest of the last few days in the lead up to this unfortunately there are still limited details as to what we know related to the situation in haiti specifically with these allegations of an attempted power grab and of what the president is alleging individuals who wanted to kill him the president said early on sunday that he confirmed that more than 20 people had been arrested including a supreme court judge alleging that they were planning to kill him the alleging that they were planning an overthrow of his government and that this is a plot that actually dates back to november november 20th unfortunately the president did not give any more details beyond what we know about this alleged plot but the timing of these arrests is
12:21 am
a point that we're paying very close attention to specifically because sunday february 7th of 2021 is a date that opposition leaders in haiti had set as the last day of presidential nell boyce his term in office as president of the nation there is debate in haiti over whether or not the president's term ends on sunday february 7th of this year or at 3 the same time next year 2022 it sounds kind of like a bit of a confusing topic how could you not know when a presidential term begin a president's term begins or ends but really this is a debate that's rooted in a chaotic election in 2016 that made it that delayed president should now moyes being officially sworn in as. president of haiti so over the course of saturday over the course of sunday we've seen protests in haiti opposition led protests we've seen clashes between opposition supporters and police and we've even said we've even seen demonstrations against the u.s.
12:22 am
government this is related to on friday the u.s. state department spokesperson net price had said that the u.s. urges haiti to recognize free and fair elections so that parliament can resume. missions when should know i'm ways and his term in february of 2022 so the united states making it very clear that they recognize the term of hades president ending exactly one year from now this is in raged opposition supporters this is the reason why we're continuing to see demonstrations out in the streets and there are we can anticipate that they will remain tense in haiti because opposition leaders are now asking for these individuals who have been arrested to be freed including the supreme court justice judge who supports opposition leaders and there are calls for more protests against the president and the opposition has vowed to continue to pressure the government of should know who is thank you money in mexico city

12:27 am
of a vaccination program to try to do so and so israel is not just a test bed in terms of the sort of medical efficacy and effect of this is of this vaccine which obviously pfizer is using it for but also it's a bit of a test bed to see even at this relatively early stage in israel is far more advanced than other countries in terms of its vaccination program whether there will be enough of an effect to allow the restrictions to be relaxed even at a high rate of infection when all the news has been a muted start to this is stripped back venice carnival dozen people gathered in st mark's square in full costume and wearing traditional hand-made masks short of the usual parades and music there was only the sound of the famous silicon bells to fill the usually packed square all the usual events have been cancelled of course because of the pandemic it seems one of the worst to countries at the beginning of the pandemic and has recorded europe 2nd highest number of deaths. watching london coming out. braving the arctic cull to fight for their rights 6

12:36 am
weather conditions and bellows now with the wintertime below it we so-called small break work we need with all the opposition leaders on a regular basis and we developed a plan for called the league to plan for 2021 and we believe our big plan will start in the preview when the weather conditions will allow people to be to spend more time in the streets and we believe based plan group green the we do our work on to our model and beloved but president look is still there he is still obviously a very powerful figure in the country what makes you saying that this plan is going to succeed when so far there hasn't been any political change. well you could not stay in a parallel into contra where you have one this key percent of the population supports you and we as you know in belarus look i should call him energy name where not
12:37 am
a single opposition candidate can survive or even exist in the country if you are in opposition you are going to end up either in the jail or in the exiled this is what happened with the plan to home oaxaca and this is what happened to myself unfortunately my equally think of our 3rd are with the trend in the campaign she is still in the present this why we believe you cannot rule the country we have only 30 percent of the population who supports you and at the same time we work with the international community and we convey the message do not accept took a chance as a legitimate leader do not recall asking every president for the opposition they suffered from arbitrary arrests thousands of people have been subjected to torture and ill treatment are they much we can now. know you know like as i said like people have been out under streets since always 20 twentieth's been 6 months and now with the people need to have a break this why we believe that the new uprising will be much stronger in the
12:38 am
spring when the weather conditions allow us and as i said like we develop a question it's an action plan the plan for 2021 which will be released next week and we believe this when we'll bring those to the victory can i tell you i mean we in terms of international reaction the e.u. didn't recognize the election outcome of various international powers have said that it's it's not not been free and fair and have condemned human rights abuses in the country but. what how important is it for the the way russia deals with this because really russia is a country that has the greatest leverage in batteries. well actually we believe we set an example on delos how people can fight with a dictatorship because in dollars as i said look we're here today a dictatorship which was built for the last 26 years and we saw it in the example for our the countries so i'm hoping for russia as well because when we see what's
12:39 am
happening in russia right now but now we need to focus on bellows in the we hope that by the way there the new york administration in the united states we will be negotiating with russia on bill was because we understand russia is a big neighbor or bellows in we understand that we need to get support for example from the united states of states in terms or in terms of negotiation with our solution to do ration about the future of billows thank you very much monica said karl of joining us this evening thank you when iran's supreme leader says his country won't return to the terms of the failing nuclear deal on the less that u.s. list all of its sanctions but the u.s. president has rejected that saying any talks depend on iran stopping uranium enrichment 1st those are job ari has more from to her on. it is national air force stay in iran and this day is named after
12:40 am
a day 42 years ago when the country's air force pledged their support to ayatollah khomeini who had just returned to iran on february 1st after spending 14 years in exile abroad we heard from the current supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei who addressed the country's air force and he used the opportunity to reiterate iran's position when it comes to negotiating with the united states and what iran expects the new administration in washington to do before they return to the jay c.p.o. way. out of the one that has the right to set conditions for continuation of the j.c. is iran because from the beginning iran has made all of its commitments they violated their commitments we have the right to set the conditions if they want iran to return to the chase e.p.o. commitments the u.s. must remove all sanctions and not just in words and on paper they must remove all sanctions in practice then they will return to our commitments this is the definite
12:41 am
policy of the republican and all are running officials agree with that and we won't change this policy this is something we've heard in the past from not only the supreme leader but also all other levels of government including the president and the foreign minister mohammad javad zarif this is where things stand at the moment they radians have given divided administration till roughly about the end of february to see if they will do anything in terms of lifting any of the sanctions so otherwise iran has said that they will take the next step and that means according to a law that was passed in the country's parliament they will reduce their compliance to the j c p a way by limiting the access of i spect hers to visit the nuclear facilities under the nonproliferation treaty iran currently now allows the inspectors to visit at. any time any of the facilities that are declared nuclear sites but after this that
12:42 am
line the end of this month that will no longer be the case the inspectors will have to request in advance what sites they want to visit and when this is something the international community has said they don't want to see happen it is in the best interest of all parties involved for the united states to return to this nuclear agreement and for iran to return to full compliance well i did your castro's live for us now in washington it seems as though each side wants the other to take the initiative tell us more about the response from the bind the ministration. that's right mariyam this stalemate continues with the white house official telling al-jazeera that president biden will certainly in his words certainly isn't going to offer sanctions relief just to get you back to the table and president biden spoke with c.b.s. news on friday saying just that and that in order for the u.s. to live sanctions that you must make the 1st step of coming back into compliance
12:43 am
