12:04 am
but there are fears of a return to the days of one man rule doors to support al jazeera. now the son of libya's former dictator mancha duffy as registered as a candidate for the country's upcoming presidential election. 49 year old se file islam gadhafi has barely been seen in a decade. he says he wants to restore unity to libya. now after conflict following his father's downfall, libby as election is scheduled for december 24th, and it's seen as a key moment in a un backed peace process. several world leaders of agreed to sanction anyone who disrupt, or prevents the vote from taking place, or one of gabriella noble, knuckle. may god bring truth between us and their people, and elect the honorable god makes the decisions, even if the infidels hate it. let's take a closer look at safe alice lam, gadhafi in his background. he's a weston, educated son of libya's form, a strong man lead and warmer gadhafi. he was an international spokesman of his
12:05 am
father's regime during the 2011 uprising. he was captured the same year by an ongoing from the city of in town as he tried to flee after his father was overthrown and was held there until 2017 in 2015. the internationally recognized government and tripoli sentenced, safeguard safe gadhafi to death in absentia, but he was lay to pardoned. he's also wanted by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity dating back to his father's rule or libya correspond. my trainer has been following developments from dar this is a big deal to day. now, after nearly a decade of hiding were seen safest lamb on video, or if in southern libya, so very surprising for many people weren't even sure that safest lamb was alive yet alone or applying to become the next president. after 10 years of conflict, i think people are a shocked surprise. awe definitely. he has some support base and they're and
12:06 am
they're excited to see him back in the, in the political or a political position dubious, deeply divided. so he does have some support. i don't think he's gonna be a serious contender. our for president, but it'll definitely showcase that the libyans that are reminiscing of a time when her libya was much more stable. although under, you know, as totalitarian rule or but more stable, more secure of people could work and, and move across the country freely. that's not happening now. so there's definitely a percentage of libyans that reminisce of the times before 2011 and and, and, and would possibly vote for safelite loan. but we just saw a few days ago, a conference in paris where the international community was saying that elections must go ahead. but there is some serious issues with that a constitutional framework, or has yet to be agreed upon by the rival legislative branches. they're still discussing what kind of powers as
12:07 am
a president have are. but the high national electoral commission is still moving along and taking up taking these applications and pen for hat as an associate professor of conflict resolution at, at our high institute. he says there is still support for like a daft family inside olympia, but he also believes that there are good afternoon chances and us election are pretty light. he has some support among the former regime loyalists. and also he has some support within some certain triangles that they're not much there. busy it's not a strong support they are in places like many will leave them. but when i'm at in some other bible courses, i don't think he has any chance of winning this election. i don't think he, he himself thinks that he has a chance. but for him, i think this is a political message that he is trying to send, that he's becoming again back to the political psion part of the game and also that
12:08 am
he can run. and he is ignoring the. busy international criminal court with him to be handed over to the i c. c. so that's, i think the political message is what we're seeing behind that he is doing that. now, as we see jelly t a, it's not the major driving force that's with the civic or any other updates. because it depends where, you know, what area are we talking about? we know that it's deeply divided between east and west, but we, we are seeing travelers, lab actually is running from the south from sub so it's completely outside this area within the east and west equation. so he's come in with a different for from a different area and watching the news ally from not instead i had for you on the program. exit polls are showing no k a when
12:09 am
a in gary is bad in action. argentines also seeing in legislative elections with the chronus to party facing defeat, damaged by the on going spot. but president is powerful deputy and it's not over yet. as there is, hamilton goes off and i think dr. to closing on is rivals championship. i spoke with jack, ah, well, austria is ordering millions of unvaccinated people and to lockdown from monday as clever 19 infections there surged to record highs about 65 percent of australia fully vaccinated. this is one of the lowest rates in western europe. more than 13000 infections were reported on saturday. the chancellor alexander schellenberg called the country's vaccination rate, shamefully love, was predicted. oh,
12:10 am
skunky boucher england sharla. this means restrictions on going out for every one over the age of 12. private living quarters may only be left in exceptional cases. as it sir, consequent, it will be very consistently controlled and will also be consistently sanctioned. i would like to thank the police officers for their commitment here. oh, poor brian rings escalate us now on the interior. 8 in cove at situation in austria . aust is infection rate is 3 times that of its neighbor, germany and the government is extremely worried about the trajectory of the figures on saturday. 13000 new corona virus infections were reported. that's an all time high for this relatively small nation of just under 9000000 people. one of the biggest concerns that the government has in vienna is the relatively low vaccination rate. some 63.4 percent of the austrian population has been vaccinated
12:11 am
that ranked them around 17th in the european league table. now, there is a fairly large vaccine skeptic population in austria. encouraged by the far right freedom party, which is the 3rd biggest party in parliament. now it's not just an austrian problem . europe itself is why the european countries are also worried. the netherlands is introducing new restrictions. they came into force on saturday morning. but also there's also going to be a discussion in germany later this week about introducing new restrictions there and latvia has even brand any parliamentary lawmakers. the ramp is who are unvaccinated, bound them from actually participating in debates or voting in the latvian parliament. such is the concern in that country. another country where there is a vaccination rates. so you can see that the alarm bells really are ringing all across europe on this elsewhere. poland prime minister is saying that nato has take concrete steps to resolve the migrant crisis on its border with bella. ruth,
12:12 am
where thousands of people are stranded in the cold. the european union is due to impose more sanctions on batteries. on monday, earlier its top diplomat spoke by phone to the banner russian foreign minister, telling him to stop using people as weapons as that they were puts down from b l stuck on the situation at the poland batteries border. this is the image, the polish military, want everyone to see they're on a p r offensive and want to show they're protecting the countries borders. this footage, however, filmed by those stuck at the border, shows a different picture, border forces and making their presence felt. and letting people there know they will not get through people at the border say they can't sleep because poland tactic in the village is close to the border. the finishing sunday mass, the faithful. a divided about the situation should have been like we have to help. but we have to protect or a bother us as well. so they do not crossed and do nothing bad to us. once they
12:13 am
cross, we have to help the women and children, but not the men because we don't know what they really are. i don't years you chip on that. we have to protect our soldiers and we have to stand for poland. if we are polish, i mean the journey across is not without its risks. morale, matha, we flew from syria to bella. ruth, she's now in a polish hospital near the border now by them. how are you, willoughby? they remained for a week in the woods. it had been a tough week from heavy rain to she is cold. oh, what they are living in die conditions. at some point, my daughter's health deteriorated. she's been in, i see you for 3 weeks, and they're not on a message. so other than mine, i call on the german authorities to allow us to re unite with our daughter. we hope the german authorities will consider the health condition of our daughter. the family is living here and we hope the authorities will lend to us a helping hand and permit her entry from poland. the family doesn't know what will
12:14 am
happen next. for their part to polish authorities are granting medical assistance to people that manage across the border and need it. but what's not clear is what will happen to them afterwards. will they be able to stay here in poland? move on to other european countries, or will they be sent back to paris? the uncertainty and hostile approach doesn't seem to deter goes, try to reach western europe. i said big. i'll 0 poland on poland. prime ministers accused russia of being behind the migrant crisis. that claim moscow has denied, but it does have a history of interference. ukraine's president says that there are currently almost a 100000 russian soldiers near its border fueling fears of a possible attack in 2014 russia. annex crimea during a protracted conflict with ukraine. in august, 2008, georgia sent troops into its rest of south bassetti, a province. russia came to the province, his defense beginning a brief conflict that ended with russian troops on the outskirts of the georgian
12:15 am
capital tbilisi. in april 2007, estonia accused russia of launching a nation wide cyber attack on it. something moscow described as unfounded attack was preceded by an argument over the re location of war graves. and russia has been accused of poison attacks on individuals in a foreign countries including sergey and julia scruple in 2018. and alexander livan young cohen, 2006, both of that, both of those incidents happening in the u. k. while in 2004, victor, you shanker, a candidate for the ukranian presidency running against the kremlin, backed incumbent was left disfigured, or russia is denied involvement in all these cases. or care giles is an expert on regional security for the rush or any regime program at the chatham house . think tacky, joins us live now from north hampton. sure. first of all, how would you describe the the migrant crisis playing out of poland bellows border?
12:16 am
what might be the medium to long term objective in minsk and possibly moscow? well, it's very hard to say because neither of those 2 capitals have actually stated the mark. they've not said what it is they actually want to achieve triggering this process. now it could be that some of the most easy and obvious gains for both of them have already been negated, because it might have assumed that it would be easy to split poland from the you and to divide the euro to how to respond to this crisis. and show with in poland which already had the argument with brussels, that actually the was not coming to it's a but to everybody surprise you has actually responded in the right way to this. it's showing unity, it's solidarity. it's backing poland. it's not giving a hard time for not a line these refuse through, and it's stepping up sanctions against those parts in the human trafficking pipeline to actually cut off the flow to the border altogether. so it looked as though, if the game was to try to discredit you so far, it's failed. but of course,
12:17 am
that leaves plenty of other options on the table for either president boynton or president lucas shanker, to follow through. well, i suppose in president. ok shank, as case he is trying to survive in his position. but the state department, i think vaughan is making some remarks about that situation. a poem batteries border and actually us and polish diplomats have been communicating with each other about this and state department said that the actions by the location creation threatened security. so division and am to distract from russia's activities on the border with ukraine. that's right, that's been a fairly consistent but a messaging that's coming through today that actually people should be looking further field on this. what cross is on the border and look at what else. roster is doing elsewhere and that does make sense. it is a classic rushing tactic to draw all media attention to one particular set of events while something else undesirable is happening elsewhere. and of course,
12:18 am
we have to bear in mind this long build up of movements of troops and military equipment around the borders of ukraine. we're really new, lately, unclear where exactly those, those military units i headed. a lot of people were concerned in the early stages about a possible full scale offensive on ukraine. another possibility seems to be that they might actually be moving in to take up permanent positions on the territory of billers, which would also create problems or not only ukraine puzzling up a new northern front to add to its eastern and southern fronts in this war with with russia, but also direct challenges for those nato countries on bill or was it borders as well? say, there are plenty of different ways in which a location can put in could potentially exploit this crisis. why would russia start and a military maneuvers, ukraine, and possibly better roost now? it's not the 1st time and it probably won't be the last at this happens. if we think back to just april this year, there was another invasion scare at that time due to not middle russian military
12:19 am
movements around the border. but at some point, this has to have a purpose. at some point, this all has to be leading to something, or whether it is simply to wear down the patients and resilience of the enemy and the thought, the ukrainian and it's nato partners observing all of these. and so that the eventual rushing move does come as a surprise, or at some point, potentially actually being ready to move into bella, ros or to any other or in any other direction that they, that might be available. the simple fact is, we don't know the answer at this point because it's not clear which direction these russian troops are moving in and what they're taking with them. because of course, what they're actually prepared for, whether it's simply redeployment or exercise, or will tell us a lot about what their intentions are. thank you very much care giles, her chatham house. although watching the elements in our guerria, there's been
12:20 am
a 3rd election there this year. it appeals appears to have again produced no clear winner. 3 exit polls give the prime minister boycott bought us off a narrow lead. but again, you could struggle to form a coalition to secure a 4th. tan is it center, right? guard party is projected to win between $23.00 and a half and 24.7 percent of the loads falling short. and the majority of force exit poll shows the new centrist group. we continue the change coming in 1st phase with 25.7 percent in its best place to form rule in coalition with and traditional main opposition. socialist python b s p, which is expected to finish that. on 14.4 percent. john har reports now from bulgaria. bulgarian industrial heartland, a mix of soviet era, architecture, and air polluting factories. per nick has the dirtiest air in the european union and anti corruption activists say the vote here stinks to. it's one among
12:21 am
a number of towns where business leaders are accused of paying off voters to protect a deeply entrenched system of official corruption and patronage. a money though, isn't a phone call and really visible for the people to see that the money are going somewhere, but not in. this isn't what we would like to see better future for the young ones. we want to see that the current government taking care of for our parents, public protests against corruption last year brought an end to former prime minister boy co boris office decade in power. this is the man who's promised to make a difference. you will pet comp, one of to harvard, educated economists whose party continue the change look set according to preliminary results to lead an anti corruption alliance. are you the fresh face of bulgarian politics, the big hope of brussels? the leaders in brussels who want to see the page turned on corruption here. i think i'm the fresh faced for the bulgarian voters are because our whole election
12:22 am
campaign started with 0 corruption, not less corruption, not a decrease corruption, 0 corruption. if we are able to day to be after today to be in position of power, ah, we would love to create such a strong agency that corruption becomes the opposite. brown from ogre, those are lofty aims. removing the stench of corruption will be an enormous task. a system of oligarchy, patronage and power built up over many years, helping to ensure that bulgaria has remained the use poorest member vested interests like this won't like it, of course. but the 3rd election this year offers at least the hope if parties can finally work together of change. joe to hold al jazeera, sophia, argentines have been voting in mid term legislative elections. that could tip the
12:23 am
balance of power in congress. polls of close this hour in the vote, which is seen as a major political test for center left. president alberto fernandez, is baroness party is battling to avoid damaging losses with voters concerned about rising inflation and poverty throws a boy's life for us. and one is iris fernandez under a great deal of pressure in this election just minus why this vote is important to people. all polling stations are, are now closed. the counting crows as has already started. we're expecting the results in the next 3 to 4 hours and this past year has been difficult for argentina. the country was already carrying recession prior to the pandemic. the situation deteriorated even further. this past 2 years, inflation rates close to 50 percent poverty rates around 42 percent. very, very high inflation. the countries currently negotiating with the international
12:24 am
monetary fund that around $40000000000.00 ah debt. so there's a sense of economic crises and argentines have gotten used to going to the polls to express their anger. this is what we saw 2 years ago when president mack re loft the election. then this is what we saw during the primary elections in september where the government of alberta for a man, if and the ruling party locked in many, many parts of the country. so this election, those who showed their a test for the president, the parents party, could lose a majority in congress. it could not forum in the senate, it would also, in a way, show how i read the fernandez is going to rule for the next 2 years. and of course, it's also going to increase the ink, the tensions that already exist within their ruling coalition, while president america, for a man, this is trying to negotiate with the i m f, reduce the deficit, his vice president, former president, christina fernando. the kirschner thinks different at losing campaign in the
12:25 am
province of when a site is acquisition government trying to set their differences aside, in spite of the enormous contradictions that exist between precedent. and we're at the, for a man this. and he's powerful, vice president, christina hernandez' kirschner, that premier luxury, and i got this young. the 1st condition that we need to concentrate on because the opposition is trying to prevent it, is the unity of our country. that is the unity of the immense majority of the argentine people. but miss inclusionary came to power almost 2 years ago in what was widely regarded as a marriage of convenience. despite being a popular former president of argentina, she says she knew she did not have enough boats to win the 2019 election on her own . i made it a candidate who could support her continued aspirations for high office. but almost 2 years after the pandemic began, the coalition is struggling, as demonstrated by its defeat last september in the primary elections has been
12:26 am
requested in argentina right now. and that is who is running the country forever. with resident, christina fernandez with consultation style with the one her thousands of orders, many of them i wasn't here today even though they both belong to their parents party. the differences between them bring uncertainty to the ruling quality. when at this pro government rally supporter say there is not a crisis. my dear child moral says, disagreement is welcome in the rolling coalition that he hears it from way. descent is good within one political space in a coalition, there shouldn't be differences, or it would be a monolithic movement that is dissenting the marriage. so imagine in a political movement, argentines will head to the polls to renew half of congress and a 3rd of the senate. the question is whether the parent is party will be able to
12:27 am
turn around. it's massive defeat during the primary elections in september. and what will happen if it can't analysts say the election will define the balance of power in government. i guess a less actually is what's going to be clear after the election is that if christina moves around 30 percent of the votes, that old british cannot add an extra vote and others cannot either. it's easy to understand for christina is going to eat them alive or have the capacity to do it. you must, you're going to have a president with no power. and we're going to see how that ends and political uncertainty can only intensify economic instability in argentina. as the country struggles to recover from the pandemic, and pay billions in foreign debt with millions of argentines stuck in the middle. oh, i know the results for a few hours, theresa, but what impact that they have on the economy? well, the economy, the huge issue in argentina right now with what most people on the streets talk to
12:28 am
about the country's economy is very disorganized, is 12 different types of exchange rates to the u. s. dollars. exchange rate restrictions very high inflation rate, very high. i'm unemployment rates are poverty rate, so there's a major concern on the streets when the government found out that he had lost the primary elections last september. it's 30 to launch a series of measures and a weight trying to win the people the those boards back. so they launched our credit, cash handouts, who distribution, we went to see some places in the province of when a site is we're refrigerators, had been given it to guarantee that this selection was not not locked. so the economy, the major issue, and in a way the markets are looking at this results to see what's gonna happen on monday in argentina, people are looking, they're anxious to see how the us dollar, how the exchange rate is going to react. because if the government loses the election, it's with fed, me have an impact. and as i said before, will intensify the tensions that exists between christina hernandez,
12:29 am
the cursor and president america for him on this. as you say, the markets don't like that kind of political uncertainty. thank you very much to raise. i will be back with you in the next hour to rise above and one is iris still, i had almost news out from london as relatives wait for news. ecuador says it's moving to identify the 68 in nights killed in a prison. right. which, which started on friday a day off to the cop $26.00 i'm. it ended in disappointment. it's presidents as china and india will have to explain themselves to nations threatened by climate change and in sport, it's farewell to a legend of motorcycle racing. is valentino rossi calls it a day after 25 years? we look back at his career. ah.
12:30 am
where the was his woman, the land, that's true, both sides of europe. that's where the active weather has been. and the last couple of weeks has been in the western measure, and it's still is. whereas the incoming winter is stuck up here in the north atlantic. now i see you coming winter because behind it is plenty of cold enough to bring snow to iceland and every now again, it brings the same to norway, the high ground. no, it's doing the same. on monday, maybe more so on tuesday most it's rain though with quite a wind, but it's a soft wesley, but it's not exactly cold in london, but it is fairly coating. for example, riga. however, these are temperatures are not far away from the average. supposed to get colder is time the and it's doing just that that round the mediterranean as well. it's just still stormy. there's more rain likely anywhere in italy, possibly. viruses, coffee commentary, adaptive.
