the forbidden real part to the communist revolution on a janita. oh, you want to help save the world. sneeze into your elbow. in the i this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm rob matheson, this is the news our life from coming up in the next 60 minutes facing a life sentence. the man who inspired the film hotel and i wonder, is hearing his face on television charges. but gamble that may backfire on justin school. dope canadians vote and an early election cold by the prime minister. russia is ruling party's own course for the 2 thirds majority in parliament, despite losing some ground to the communist homes, burns and fires,

and forced to flee a volcano in the spanish island of la palmer erupt. for the 1st time in 50 years, i'm joined to go with the sports leno mess. he makes his home day be for paris such a month. but again, the school leon ah, are wandering court is delivering its voting in the case of the man whose life and spied the hollywood film hotels, lawanda, paul, recessive. but gina is credited with sheltering and saving hundreds of people joining the gun genocide in 1994. but he fell out for the president and he's now charged with terrorism offenses. the 67 year old face is 25 years in prison. markham web is live for us. i've cited the course markham. just talk us through what's been happening well,

the judge is delivering their summaries of the prosecution and defense arguments inside this court building and a court hearing right now. there were 20 defendants in there. all the co accused recess, the beginning of the beginning himself, isn't that he's said for the last 6 months that this trial isn't fair. and so he refused to attend to hearing these remained in his cell in prison. now that's something that's been echoed by international observers. to the trial, we've heard from 2 of the 3 judges. so far they've said this recess to begin on, some of his cues should be found guilty of some of those factors including terrorism. we're waiting for a conclusive verdict, and we'll bring that to you as soon as we can hear it. but these terrorism offences relate to a series of attacks that happened in rwanda 3 years ago in the southern parts of the country. the prosecutors say to come accused in there and recess,

a beginner responsible for these attacks on villages and on buses. we took a visit to one of those villages that was allegedly attacked. let's take a look at that story. now. the hollywood made him a hero for saving lives. very excited, wondering prosecutors, a poor recess, a beginner is a terrorist and a murderer. he's been tried in a court in the capital, kigali, prosecuted, blame him for attacks on civilians that happened in rwanda 3 years ago. one of them was in this village, i told them to corroborate garbo. antwan's neighbors thought he was dead after the attack has hit him on the head with a machete. i was knocked out for 2 hours. we never knew who it was after the authorities investigated and said it was the village administrator's car was set on fire during the attack. this is what remains of it. 3 people were killed,

others were injured. but all the people we've spoken to in the village say they have no idea who the attack. as we're prosecutors say pull recessive beginner was responsible. recessive beginner denies it. and look around that time, he fledged support for the armed proved claims responsibility for the attacks called the f l n. the time has come for us to use it need me as possible to bring about tinge in glenda as hopefully to commit been tried in that recess, a beginner, told the court, his role was political and he wasn't involved in the violence. he said he was kidnapped in dubai last year and brought to kick ali. he stopped attending court hearings because he said the trial was unfair. international legal observers agree, jeffrey robertson is monitored the trial from london for the american bar

association. this became something of a show, tried the prosecution, evidence against him was shown, but he was in cross examine in any satisfactory way. so the verdict is we understand it would not, in that sense, be reliable. during melendez genocide, in 1994 recess, a beginner, saved hundreds of people. hotel where he was the manager of the film hotel. rwanda told the story and made him famous. he since fled into exile and became a focal critic of rwanda as president full county. the observer say it's also a problem that county has said he's guilty before the verdict that similar to the london isn't that we lost because always actions. and because of the organization's e barone to lead the fed ex expected on monday, poor recess,

a beginner could be jailed for 25 years. malcolm web al jazeera kigali rwanda cohen can invite is the daughter of paul research to begin as she's joining us now from brussel. it's thank you very much indeed for being with us on all the 0 as the verdict is being read out. what are you feeling at the moment? this burdick means nothing for us. our father was kidnapped, he was dragged across international border in violation of international law, tortured for 4 days and then denied he's most basic human rights. he was denied access to legal to his chosen representation and denied access to his case file and then was held in solitary confinement for $215.00 days. that is a violation of the nelson mandela ruled because holding someone in more than 15 days, amounts to psychological. so for us, this verdict is based on,

based on nothing is on and then who was kidnapped and tortured. additionally, throughout the duration of the trial, the co acute actually said that they were forced and call her and tortured into saying all validations against my older. so for us is burdick means nothing. my father should not be rwanda. he will be allowed to come home as your father family been able to be in touch with your father during this process. yes. every friday we have a 5 minute call with my mother. it's only 5 minutes. he doesn't sound i. e. he sounds like there are prison authorities pressuring him, keeping him from saying what he wants to say and keeping us from really thing why we want to tell him. and the color is really short. my father, emotionally, he's strong. he has on, he's a very strong individual emotionally. physically though we are very worried health and we're scared that he will die in prison like many other pity. again, me. how's your father dealing with what has been happening to him and the prospect

of spending so many years in prison? well, my father has known that press that the dictator over one day, one silent him year. and this is exactly what is happening since the moment the movie hotel, one that was leased and my father gained international popularity. and also my father gained a platform where he that he used to shed light and bring attention to the human being perpetrated by going to one and dictator. that is why they want to dig that wants to silent and you want to to, to kill his credibility so that he doesn't get the support of the attention that he received internationally and silence and lock him up forever. and my father has known this my father knows that his rights were violated. that's why he decided to step out of the trial. and this is all political, my father's, a political prisoners. the charges are completely invented. we had a mock website report, your father being giving a quote saying the time has come for us to use any means possible to bring about

change in rewan to as all political means have been tried and failed. now that is very provocative. language of a strong language for any government to stomach, did you or your family ever try to dissuade your father from taking such a strong stance against that gama government given the potential results of potential outcomes that we're seeing on so and can we even have known for many years that can gamma uses illegal methods to silence people. i mean, he's tried to assassinate my or my father knew that could get me wanted to kill him . they've broken into our home. he's gone after him at his events, when my father was speaking on human rights, the university got me centered people to try to follow and intimidate him. so my father has known the threats that his non, who gave me who the dictator is for many years. however, when the attacks happened, my father asked for an independent investigation into these attacks that one and

government refused to have that independent investigation because they know that they're nothing linking my father an addition to this throughout the nation of the child, the one in prosecution absolutely the real credible evidence against my father and even more so if there was an incredible evidence they wouldn't have needed to kidnap him. they could have worked with belgium and the us to have him arrested and brought to one them legally. so this all speak to the fact that these are completely invented chargers. this is a classic case of a dictator trying to silence a human rights defender was going to hit the gators human rights abuses. what's next? move for your father and what's the next move for the family. we are not discouraged by dis burdick. the verdict, as i said, is a complete theater and this is part of the game is plan to silence my father. so we will continue to advocate for my father. just last week. the european union said that there were considering sanctions against bewanda them against key century

sanctions have also been proposed in the united states congress by the lentils foundation. so it is time to increase the pressure on president can get me because everyone has seen what has happened to my father. and it is clear that this fairness trial was completely unfair, and this man is being detained illegally. in addition to this, the belgium parliament both adopted a resolution asking for his, his return back to belgium. the u. s. congress wrote a letter to secretary lincoln asking him to use all diplomatic means to bring my father back to the united states. so many people around the world have spoken up and will continue to encourage people to take stronger actions and stronger measures in order to have my release coming camber, we appreciate your time. thank you very much indeed for being with us and i'll just hear thank you. very much from voting zondaway in canada and snap a parliamentary election more than 27000000 people are eligible to cast ballots across the state signs zones. 5 minutes suggesting scotto is hoping to consolidate

his leadership with a majority for his liberal party. but he's been criticized. recalling an early election during the pandemic and pseudo is facing state of position in an unexpectedly close race. were let's cross life to jodi vance. who's in montreal, forrest, jody. the conservative leader. i don't know to had said that this was today's decision to get people to the polls during a public health crisis was a vanity project. how are people reacting to this? what's the turn like i guess we're going to find that out today as polls have indeed opened in the maritime provinces of canada. here in montreal were just minutes away from this pulling station at an elementary school in montreal to open. and then we will see whether the posters are right and there might be some voter apathy. some concerns, obviously, about the global pandemic, worried about cope at 19, in the impacts of voting in a pandemic. or if canadians are, in fact, really rallying to vote around,

as you mentioned frustration over just into those want for the snap election election that he called on august the 15th 36 days of campaigning, the shortest window of campaigning. certainly mister trudeau had expected an easier path perhaps to today that has not been the case pulling is very, very tight and in fact, too close to call at this point, we'll see how things unfold here at this voting station is pulling station as there are fewer voting stations across the country in this pandemic election due to safety concerns for elections, canada. meaning there might very well be line ups which are highly unusual in canada. if there are concerns about the pandemic and people are concerned about getting to the polling stations like the one that where you are, how much influence do you think that male and balance are going to play in the selection? interesting maylen ballads have been reported as not as in demand,

as some might have assumed. however, advance pulling was up significantly over prior elections. some 7000000 balance of already been cast. as you mentioned, 27000000 canadians eligible to vote. so it will be interesting to see certainly the campaign. the campaign yesterday was very much focused on getting the voting bases out to the polls today. it will be vital to see all canadians get to the polls. busy for their this race to continue to be as tight as it is and it could come down to the why are we might not even know the results by end of day today, which again is highly unusual given those male and valid. jody, thanks very much indeed. jody vance in montreal. tony motor head on the news are including now they take millions of dollars more and years and years more to get roof. and we're going with climate protest outside the us as well. leaders begin to discuss their commitments to cut emissions. and the emi goes to the ground

a surprise rob. it was widely predicted, the united russia would hold its super majority the election commission, the head of electric emission has been speaking in the last hour or so. and she says that these elections, i've been more potent and more than any other elections i've had in the last years in russia. this will come as a surprise to the opposition, many opposition groups and an independent polling observing group who saw lots of evidence of balance being stuff done. ballot boxes being left unattended overnight . the elections were over 3 days. unusually, this is because of them covert say. so there was no long queues of people, but in fact, the word long queues on friday on the 1st day. and again, the observer said this was clear evidence of people being forced out to vote on that particular day. and then these other days where ballots were left on attended overnight with the possibility of them being tampered with. we also, in the moscow area have still not had the results of the electronic voting.

electronic voting voting on line was widened across russia this year. but in the moscow area, we still not had the results and you would expect them being electronic they, those results would be instant. but the house been a problem with the way this system in moscow is working and they haven't seem to be able to resolve how to fix it yet. in fact, the system says 104 percent of people eligible to vote voted well you can have more people voting than there are registered voters. so that a lot of suggestions that this is not as free and fair as it was. and of course, as it should have been out, of course, even before the 1st boat was cast, the odds were set against any opposition groups because they were excluded from the ballads. any significant opposition individuals have either been exiled, they've been jailed or they've just been scared away from standing. but you got to putin will be pleased that he's united russia party keeps it super majority of
