when the freedom of the press on the threats step outside the mainstream shift, the focus that pandemic has turned out to be a handy little pretext for the prime minister to clamp down on the press. the listening post on jazz eda ah this is al jazeera. ah. hello, i'm the clock. this is a new life. coming up the next 60 minutes. the man who inspired the film hotel we're wonder, is from guilty on terrorism charges and sentence to 25 years in prison. eating border restrictions, the u. s. is sent to welcome vaccinated foreign travelers for the 1st time in 18 month. kind of his main opposition candidate there, and i told folks in a snuff election that will determine the fate of prime minister justin,

today's ruling party homes, fans, and thousands for a fleet volcano on the spanish island at la palmer erupt, the 1st time in 50 i'm john ross, go with the sport. bunch of federal gives an update on the injuries that ended his season early and also share your thoughts on the calendar plan. ah . so we start with that breaking news and the court, and golly, has sentenced the man whose life in spite the hollywood film hotel rwanda to 25 years in prison on terrorism charges for recess, beginner is credited with sheltering and saving hundreds of people during the countries genocide in 1094, but he fell out with the president. so let's go straight away to golf. malcolm web correspondence standing by the malcolm. tell us more what's been happening.

would have just been reading out their judgments in this court house for the last 6 hours and they just got to the verdict. and they said just a short while ago that recessive beginner is guilty of the various terror related charges that he was facing. and being sentenced to 25 years in jail, along with 20 co keys around him, have been found guilty of various charges and given jail sentences that left jail sentences recess. the beginning himself isn't in the court that he refused to turn off and he's done so for the last 6 months of hearing because he said this trial wasn't sad. that's something that's been echoed by international observe as well. so he hasn't attended any of these hearings and it's supportive, including his daughter, he referred to as a short while ago, completely rejected this child. they say it's not legitimate at all. what recourse might recessive begin or have or is that it is an a roof repeal hit

yeah, there's a possibility for the 4th occasion or for the defense to appeal judgment within 15 days. what the we did to begin with, the lawyers intend to do that. i mean, they rejected this entire process by virtue of not turning up, so we don't know if, if they're going to engage with it from here wrong. but the criticisms other criticisms of the process by international observance. i've included the fact that the, the evidence submitted, and there was some evidence that says to begin and have been involved with opposition groups. and some of the groups that they said the evidence is actually evaluated in the court. that key witnesses weren't allowed to be cross examined by the defense. and so your legal experts said that the verdict that came out of here would lack like credibility and whatever, whatever the case or malcolm. thanks for that. so much with that. could godaddy or

not guilty verdict? well, within the past hour, the united states is announced, its relaxing an 18 month long travel band set to allow fully vaccinated foreign travelers to enter the country from november. people will have to show proof of vaccination before they board flights, as well as a negative test, but they will not need to coordinate in on arrival the rules for unvaccinated american citizens traveling home are being tightened all the while. let's go to kimberly how it gets our white house correspondent standing by the white house. kimberly, it's been a long time coming this jealous more yeah, 18 months. in fact, this is a system that now has changed that had been in place for 18 months since donald trump was in office. and many had hope. when shall biden became president, that he would reverse the travel restriction and he didn't until now. as you mentioned,

the united states now will allow travelers from european countries in the u. k. to come in if they are vaccinated, but just because you're vaccinate and you show proof of vaccination, that's not quite enough. you're also going to need to take a. c cobra test within 72 hours prior to traveling to the u. s. now there are also some new changes that are going to take place for unvaccinated americans who have been able to come and go. but the new changes that affect unvaccinated americans means that they will have to take covert test and get a negative result. of course, within 24 hours of traveling back to the united states and then they will also need to take another test upon arrival within 24 hours. so these are some big changes. but what notable about all of this is essentially previously the united states really looked at what your country of origin was in terms of how it was treating you with recovered restrictions. now this will essentially be based on the

individual and their vaccination status, as well as her test result has been going on for 18 months, as you say. kimberly, so why now, why this decision right now? well, there are a number of reasons. one is financial, be airlines have been really hard hit because people just don't feel like travelling. so they, because of all of these restrictions they've kind of just said, look at this is too much bother. i'm not doing it. and the numbers reflect that. when you look at travelers from the u. k to the u. s, that's down 76 percent from pre pen demik levels. and when you look at the european countries as a whole down 67 percent, so the airlines have been pushing for this. but also you got to remember the last business when it comes to hotels. also the hospitality industry like restaurants, they're all hurting to as a result. so they've all been pushing hard for this. but there's another reason to the united states is kind of in the bad books right now, if you will,

when it comes to relations with some of its european allies, you have to remember the g 7 liter met with joe biden prior to the withdrawal of us troops ref ganeth said, we said look, we need to, to extend this deadline. he ignored them, so that didn't fit well. and then on top of it, we've had, of course, more recently this. nothing of france with respect to the united states, not including it in this group security group that is now supplying submarines to australia. so the relations have been pretty ted. joe biden is about to go to you in general assembly where he's going to be meeting face to face with a lot of these leaders and their supporters. and so it appears the timing as he set to head up to new york city for that meeting. the un general assembly may have something to do with that. now he goes with some good news if you will. something that a lot of these countries have been pushing for. perhaps this will kind of calm some of the tensions that exist between the united states and some of their partners. and now life that's a bit with the white house can be talking about things

a lot to kinda where voting is underway in a stop parliamentary election. conservative challenger, aaron untold, has just cast his ballot. it is expected to be a tight race between him and the incumbent. prime minister, just intruder who's hoping to consolidate his leadership with the majority for his liberal party. but he has been criticized for calling an early election during the pandemic. and let's cross live to jedi bounce, who's in montreal and jody's just been 36 days a campaign in very short. how's turn up being on election day and easily this might go awry for just intruder might well, today is the crescendo voting day. we are at an elementary school in montreal where that's pulling station has been very busy. the lineup has been in effect pretty much since about 30 minutes before the doors opened. social distancing in effect,

math pulled up over nose and mouth. certainly covered 19 a pandemic election being called by just introduce on august 15th, that 36 day window, you mentioned the shortest campaign window legally and candidate to hold. just ensure joe must have thought when he called the selection that it might be an easy road to a majority that has proven to not be the case. with the pushback from his opponents, you mentioned the conservative leader or no tool who would cast as valid as expected that justin trudeau will be doing. same in his writing here in montreal, i anytime now it was scheduled for right around 11 o'clock so that should be coming in soon, 11 o'clock eastern time here in canada, that is the race. it literally could not be tighter in the polls. and now there's some discussion about how perhaps some of the fringe parties might come into play in terms of perhaps the votes living, which is the conversation that always does come up when the race is tight right

around the voting day. and here we are in canada with the poles now open. this could not be tighter. all votes will count, including those sent him by mail, no doubt. and those cars before the event as well. you know, very good point. 27000000 eligible voters. 7000000 votes cast in advance poles, as well as mailing balance. now, we've learned from elections canada, that the, the request for mail, invalid wasn't as robust as perhaps expected. given the fact that this is a coven, 19 global pandemic nap election with one province in this country, alberta, where the largest conservative voting base is, is in a provincial state of emergency. with over 19 surging thereafter, restrictions were actually lifted by their conservative premier back on july, the 1st something that the conservative federal leader era no tool endorsed at the

time. so that's controversial. 4 o 2 all back to the votes being counted. now, obviously we are a 1st past the post country here in canada, which means oftentimes an election could be called before. the bullying is even closed in the western provinces of the country today. however, that might be a different story, given those advance pulls those male and ballots and how tight this race truly is setting can be very interesting. see 100 pounds out jody from time being thanks. luxury events in montreal. pretty marcella. had all the news are including cars, rough gun, this time, now been created and it's faded relations, but they've already had a devastating impact on many people's lives. on the greek island of some offs where a new facility has the notion for migrant. many of whose coit, by far over night europe get ready to defend built ryder cup trophy in the usa.

come out with joe's for ah, russia's pro criminal ruling party is on calls to retain its 2 thirds majority in parliament with most of the votes counted. but it has lost some support compared to the previous election. the opposition says, fraud was widespread. most criminal critics were barred from running after a year of crackdowns and a smith is more now from moscow. it was widely predicted, the united russia would hold its super majority the election commission, the head of the electric commission has been speaking and she says that these elections, i've been more open and more fire 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 stuffed ballot boxes being left on attended overnight.

the elections were held over 3 days. unusually, this is because of try make them cov, it's safe, so there was no long queues of people. but in fact, the world cues on friday on the 1st day. and again, observe a 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 have the results and you would expect them being electronic they. those results would be instant, but the have 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, a people have been killed in a shooting in the siberian city of a lone gunman was detained out to the attack at the university campus. his motive remains unclear. students were early seen jumping from classroom windows to escape an afghan on crippling twice, or whose claim responsibility for bombings in the city july about over the weekend . the group known as iceland k says it carried out 3 attacks on saturday and one on sunday. the blast targeted taliban fighters, at least 7 people were killed and 30 were injured. i smell her borrow has more enough cover the announcement by the ice k, the islamic state of what i found, which is an affiliate with the of i failed that it was behind the series of last that took place in july. let them be attacked over the last few days is quite

a show of defiance of the show force. they are sending a message to the taliban that they will have to deal with ice gay in the near future. i'm just going to post serious problems for the taliban because it came to power saying that to the people who got sent that with them impala, there will be a sense of security. so we are likely heading to was a collision between the taliban and the ice guy. i've been talking to senior solid beneficial that they have been telling me that we are still investigating the case . but the audit, but the say that we are confident this is ice and now ice gay when asked them about what's next to say, we'll have to wait and see what happens next. why jill, at a bad, mostly because this has been a stronghold of the ice k. and they want to tell the taliban that the days ahead are going to be an extraordinary moment for all the parties and eyes. gay is trying to further expand its presence and i've got it. and i think the i'll try and also to tell the international community that they would have to deal with him in the near future. and this is posing serious challenges for the taliban. but also for

the americans and the europeans in particular, because we were telling the tale about if you don't clamp down on ice k, if you, if you allow the ice k to use this country as a platform to launch attack, i thought that will have serious i'm if occasions all the way we have to deal with the other the future decades of war. it after the stolen have left large parts of the country, littered with unexploded munitions. they've taken devastating. told him civilians many of them children and with the country under taliban control, experts can now clear areas that were previously inaccessible. charles dropped for reports from water problem. 8 year old marty was playing with his friends when the explosion happened. the blast blew off part of his leg. he joins other children in his village at a talk organized by a local organization about the dangers of unexploded munitions left by decades of war. marty is not the only injured child here. the same blast on the outskirts of the village ripped through 12 year old e mails,

leg 12 year old molly her last and i and she was partially blinded. and the other van dug up on her gums. what will we do? he's a little kid and he has a long life in front of him. i worry how he will code. he doesn't have any land till about and we have little money. we are worried and afraid about his future. the children are told to listen carefully because the area around the village is littered with hidden munitions and unexploded bombs ability to load. the children were collecting dried grass for burning a fuel. when the explosion was it just got, she lost her eye, and 2 of my sons were also injured. i tell every one, not to touch anything suspicious, look and just move away. a local bomb disposal team leads us to where the blast occurred. the taliban blew up an afghan army weapons called boy here in 2019 the

attack scattered ammunition across a wide area either side of the road. much of it was then buried in mud during floods of to cancel the collecting. some the team tell us we can leave the camera, but move back to a safe area before they conduct a controlled explosion. before the taliban retook control last month, no bomb disposal team had come to this area of water, the province because it was too dangerous. bombed out the villages show how intense the fighting was. the situation is calm now that a lethal and hidden legacy remains 5 children killed and another 12 injured in one incident near this village experts are saying that there are hundreds of villages in this area around which they believe that could be tons of unexploded ordnance. the teams coming into this area to try and clear it are appealing for

international health. taliban fighters take us to an abandoned us based on a hill close by a few destroyed military vehicles. ransacked, planning and living quarters, surrounded by blast bag walls is all that remains local. say foreign soldiers use the surrounding areas a firing range, which is now littered with unexploded ammunition. experts say if lives are to be saved, the international community has to release funding that it froze when the taliban took control last month on the main planets and the mining organisations are funded by the international community that has now stopped. there are incidents every day and the u. s. and need to need to come hear them senator. you want to clear it up or send other organizations to have life is on the surface at least returning to normal in this village. but the people are afraid that what lies hidden around them

could destroy many more lives. for years to come. charles stratford al jazeera war duck of ghana stub. pfizer has announced its code 19 vaccine is effective for children between 5 and 11 years old. the pharmaceutical john tested the job with a lower dose than adults and found that does produce enough antibodies. why is it we'll send it findings to us regulators to request approval for a global rollouts. busy so let's take this on, we can speak to john moore in new york, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the vale cornell medical college. john, welcome to the program. if approved, this is indeed good news. what do you make of it? well, there's only a limited amount of information in the press release. what it says is that the vaccine, the same one that's used in a lower dose, it induces similar levels. ready of antibodies to what it does and that's expected and that's a good result. is

a one line statement saying that there are no obvious safety problems. of course, none of that is sufficient for f d a approval. the f d a has to look at a submitted package. pfizer has to send the body of information under the pages of documents, the f. d a has to review it and they will be looking at safety issues in particular anticipating any that will be different in the process. and that's why we have serious review panels of independent experts. that process will take place and i'm sure. ready it will also take place in europe with the equivalent to the f d, a in britain and other countries. so this data has not yet been peer reviewed nor published in scientific journals, but it does dovetail with the result seen in in older children doesn't. and indeed in adults, it's a press release, it contains minimal information. this is sue. nowadays there's nothing necessarily

wrong with that, but it is not sufficient information to make a judgment, particularly on safety. so that will be a filing and the filing will be reviewed by experts. i do not anticipate problems the, the vaccine was, looks good in older children and adolescents. it's clearly gotten. ready out, i expect that will work safely and effectively in children, but we need more than just the press release to make that says once in any serious way. indeed, if it is approved by the day, how important is this? well, i would like to see children of this age group immunized because the increasingly at risk in the states, we're getting more and more infections and children because the delta variance is more transmissible to children. so if we want to have a safe environment in schools, teachers need to be vaccinated on the pupils need to be vaccinated. america, we're having a lot of pushback in some states even against basic safety precautions like my

school. and so it's a similar and kissed a care, and i'm sure it's true in some other country. so the more safety we can bring to our children, the better. because children can not only suffer at themselves, they can bring infections home to back to transmit on to parents, grandparents, other people, they come into contact with. the more people that we got, fractionated, the less likely there are, the transmission will continue to spread. and this is coming from the pfizer by and take back to what about other brands of backs? you know, we'd like to see a similar announcements you think but don, are also studying vaccines and children. they've started about a month or so behind 5. or i think so in, in the next several weeks, i expect, we will have more data from madonna. it's likely to be quite similar because to vaccines are quite similar. i imagine there are other programs going on in europe. astrazeneca vaccine is not used in the states,

and i don't think it's being tested here in children, but i imagine it will be done in europe and, and in britain are double appreciate that john moore, professor, microbiology and immunology greece has started moving asylum seekers to the 1st of several new e u funded camps on its islands rights group say the new ones are in remote areas with strict controls that limit access. jones roughly shows us around the sites of a new camp on some of here you have a hard show. can tell you that sort of a mobile housing unit. there is a locking from door, which means people sleep securely at night. if you step inside, there is a kitchen here with a small fridge, a 2 top stove, and the sink, the thinking being the because asylum seekers are given roughly 500 years per family of 4 during the period when the asylum cases being decided,

they can go and do that grocery shopping and do some of their own cooking bathroom with a shower store and sort of turkish toilet. a think very basic, but for many people, running water is a novelty. they have hot water from a solar water heater on the roof. and here, there is a bedroom with 4 bunk beds, a functioning air conditioning unit, we just tried it out behind me. and this camp because it's been built for $3000.00 and is going to be holding only a few 100 people will be filled. know in their capacity. so at least for the foreseeable future, unless there's another wave of arrivals anytime soon, the people who are living here are going to have plenty of space. i said i had haron out 0. now they take millions of dollars more and years and years more to get roof climbing protests outside the united nations as well. leaders begin to discuss

their commitments to counter missions and the i me goes to the ground. ha, netflix takes the top television awards with its theories, the crown and the queen's god. crickets, riches t 20 torn when it was used and divide. you will have the very latest premier league coming up. it's ah, with hello good to be with you. plenty of hot sunshine across the middle east, temperature's not as high as they were a few weeks ago. of course. now we are into autumn. so we've got 42 degrees in doha that's actually above average. 42 in kuwait. next stop pockets on its way in the north and in the south. we will start to see that pattern over the next few days, karachi, $36.00 on tuesday. i think our next rain risk will come on wednesday, but

a better shot of it on thursday. and your temperatures will slide a bit. speaking of fighting temperatures got to focus on its stumble. we've got this run of rains and breezy conditions of black sea through the boss 1st. i don't know if you want to see this, but here's a 3 day forecast. down to 16 degrees by thursday, just a few days ago, we were in the thirty's, through the tropics of africa. we've scooped up in kenya, 52 millimeters of rain, still seen these storms flare up through also the ethiopian highlands on tuesday for their toward the south. we do have some what, whether effecting durbin with a high of 18 degrees, johannesburg, 28th cape town. you're at 20 degrees, but how about this? we're going to dial up your temperature in the days ahead. it's going to be short lived 29 degrees on wednesday, but then we're packed down to 18 by thursday. see again soon. the

little is more distressing for a woman than a month 20 pregnancy going horribly wrong aside from then being punished for salvador devotion lot. i've seen women incarcerated for years. some say they're only crime with a devastating still, but i mean, the story of one woman struggle, the c 900 movement miscarriage, of justice. a witness documentary on al jazeera, the world's lungs being seized. the amazon rain forest is diminishing. a rate of football pitcher a minute to meet the market insatiable appetite for logging, mining and farming. as both scenarios, government seek to relax conservation laws and increase production. indigenous communities on the brink of extinction. no, with the bite of their life. people empower brazil's amazonian battle on al jazeera .

ah ah, what you out to remind about top stories is and a court and can golly has sentence man, whose life and spot the hollywood film to wind up to 25 years in prison. terrorism charges for recess, geena is accredited with sheltering and saving hundreds of people during the countries genocide. in 1994. the united states has announced its relaxing and 18 months long current of our travel band. its will allow, fully vaccinated for travelers to enter the country from november without needing to. a voting is under wayne canada. parliamentary elections, prime minister jumped intruder, was hoping to consolidate his need

a ship for the majority for his liberal party. besides, he stiff opposition. unexpectedly read or returning to our top story on the guilty man who inspired the film hotel rwanda. poor recess to begin his daughter, cutting that kimber. told al jazeera, the trial is a sham. this verdict 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 rule. because holding someone in more than 15 days in solid amounts to psychological. so for us this verdict is based on based.
