12:02 am
on tuesday, the frustration finally spilled over our chaotic scenes as thousands of migrants and refugees. some with rocks and sticks. try to push across the frontier polish police responded with water cannon and tear gas accusing better russian forces of destroying fences along the border. so the migraines could get through a president of belarus as himself accused of orchestrating this chaos. directing the migrants towards the border, an act of reprisal in response to european sanctions. but poland is also accused of pushing people back into bella ruse and not allowing them to apply for site for asylum and caught in the middle of all of this, the migrants refugees and asylum seekers. many now saying they are being stopped from moving in either direction. i said, beg reports on the escalating situation from the poland and iris border
12:03 am
desperate people being pushed back with water cannon, frontier guess stuck on the bullet lucien side of the border polish forces stopping them from crossing into the you. it was only a matter of time these people faced with the lack of food, water, shelter, and sub 0 temperatures tried to push forward at the crossing at the brewster at the front of many young men. but many women and children are in the crowds behind. to those on the receiving end to her, it's an inhumane and hypocritical rejection by europe middle. ugh, zero's reports on the grand spoke with them. yes. hi. this message i left while they're using pepper spray and water and tear gas against the children. is this the human rights of europe? 10 days we've been here without water temperatures or mine is 5. and what can we do? where are the human rights organizations? we were a good country. they invaded iraq in 2003. we've lost everything. we've sold our cars and sold our houses. they've destroyed our country and now this is their human rights. like vienna, mont,
12:04 am
him the live glom on in nevada. we haven't slept since yesterday. our feet are freezing and the only word we can hear is attention, attention. eagle and we have kids, we have wives, you know, if they don't want to allow us through than return us back to our countries. we haven't eaten for 5 days. only little foods available for women and kids. we need a safe place. we need a safe country on it certainly is an uneven fight. washington on. can you say poland wants to show the world, which is defending europe's border against a better routine dictator using desperate people as a weapon. they say alexander lucas shenika is taking revenge on the e u for sanctions imposed after his violent crackdown on political opposition at home. for months, belarus has been granting migrants visits, promising them an easy route into the you and you probably america just as all we have to sustain at all. so as i have told merkle, the problem is that we don't save those people. we would both lea zillow, both bellows and to an even bigger extent,
12:05 am
the european union. we didn't let through the refugees to the e. u territory. that's why i proposed on solving the situation in general, we agreed with merkel. we won't talk about it specifically. she, after some time for a pause to discuss the proposal with the members of the european union. that's fine . what to just as the numbers at the border grow. so to does the desperation, they can't go back. holland says it cannot enter. that means we're likely to see more people pushing forward and the polish forces using tougher tactics to keep them out. a sad beg i'll jazeera near the poland, belly roost. border polish authorities have occasion barrage and present and orchestrating tuesdays license political purposes. algae there is it stat larson has more now dramatic scenes here exactly at the gate into the european union. of course, these images are not going down well with many european so right now. and poland
12:06 am
actually is accusing barrels of provoking this whole clash of riot that happened at the border crossing pointer 3 kilometers behind me. it started this morning. it's not clear exactly how and why it started. the poland sas said they were attacked basically by a migrant asylum seekers. it's not clear who they were, but people were throwing stones and also locks at the border and they were going for the border, trying to cross and poland polish border troops have responded really violently with the tear gas with the water cannons. what we also hear from witnesses on the scene is that it looked like people who are actually throwing of of stones and locks were covering their faces. so that's it. that's why it's not exactly clear who was doing that. it could be very well that migrant and asylum seekers have been used because these pictures, these images were exactly what many here think about ocean liter. alexander lucas
12:07 am
shanker wanted to world to see how cooper cruel. the european union is responding to unarmed refugees and migrants stuck at the border. so of course, there needs to be an investigation or more details being known on exactly how this started. but that's exactly what the pole polish authorities are saying. and also what people here in you believe that this was a sat up atlanta goods because the director of the globe sac policy institute, she joins us over skype from brighten lava design, kia, 1st of all, i want to look at the most recent developments before we discuss the conditions on the border itself. how much violence and hostilities of these people, my wits refugees, asylum seekers, suffering the hands of polish forces at the moment. it is very difficult to assess what exactly is going on the board. there are because the axis of journalist or
12:08 am
civil societies is limited on both sides of the border. that's enough either the violence on both sides. the report that of course, the polish forces are using violence to respond to what they see. i've attack at the border and it's violent provocation, said the boarder, at the same time, there are also evidence and reports that lucian forces are beat to not the people at the border that they're forcing people to stay at the border and not allowing people to go back to me and to return back home if they wish to. so unfortunately, it looks like cra, migrants are trapped between the 2 sites. now, the europeans have expanded sanctions imposed on the regime of better russian president, alexander lucas shanker. but is this likely to make any difference to his behavior? suggestion is that flights will possibly increase in less that i stopped in
12:09 am
the home countries, but basically there are likely to be more people heading to the border in the winter months. and could that mean, could that mean more das, the european union definitely knows that it needs to address to situations at the same time. on the one hand, it knows that it needs to leave a human suffering and provide for money or in a humanitarian assistance to people who ended up in this very unfortunate situation in this atrocious succession. that over the lead for the loss of life. and what your opinion is trying to do is exactly to put the number of flights that are transporting people to dollars over the show. some of the best, several countries started talking words used to the number of flights that go into butler was under the threat of sanction several airlines over there. that they're not going to lead to, to didn't of certain countries to board flight that had into the bellows. so the
12:10 am
hope is that it will help to slow down the flow people propellers so that the situation will become manageable, especially in the common winter months. but on the other hand, the european union also know that it has to address the issue that was effectively now governed by or rather role learn who, where they create multiple security situation in the neighborhood. what information do we have about the people, the thousands of people that have gathered at the border in our report, algebra era spoke to several people from iraq. but they are saying that there are also many women and children that and in some cases they haven't eaten for 5 days. there are not much reliable information. the reports are that there were several thousands of people. currently, a trip of the, at the border in did, there are
12:11 am
a lot of women and children among them. the european union, the polish side, tried to pass some human uterine aid, but unfortunately, the bolt which inside is not very cooperative. on the other side, we try to provide some very limited assistance, but definitely it's also in the interest of alexander lucas shanker to make sure that the situation is as bad as possible to pressure the european union for to give him some political concessions. and unfortunately, he is not very much concerned about the play of the migrant and about the potential laws of human rights. there are reports that some people are now moved to some make sheets, but still it is to provide some shelter and coverage. the european union is also trying to work with an international organization that they're currently in borrows . i'm in the united states, the red cross to try to make sure that they get access to the migrant,
12:12 am
provide them with humanitarian aid, but also legal advice. and what's the best situation and what's the best path forward for them. but so far it only has very limited effects. all right, and i could go, thank you for joining us. thank you so much for heaven. and all the stories of following germany's energy regulatory suspended the approval process for the north stream to gas pipeline. this plan to transport rush and gas to europe, bypassing ukraine says the company building the pipeline has not complied with german regulations. known stream to is the source of geopolitical tensioned, involving the us, your opinion, and russia. the us says it will make europe even more reliant on russia for energy . but germany is saying that russian gas is needed to transition away from coal and nuclear power. dominant came out more from berlin on want to regulate the thinking . then few has been very simply that they don't believe that the
12:13 am
organisation behind an old stream pipeline called old stream to agee, which is based in switzerland. they don't believe that it has enshrined german law into its operations at least based here in germany. quite technical ruling, but the basic deal being that the company needs to fully set itself up in germany and accept german jurisdiction as it were before any green lighting can be given in terms of the effect this ruling will have. well, it's a temporary stay in one perspective. we know that the company concerned nordstrom to a g in switzerland has gotten till a point in january. sure. reply. but obviously there is the geopolitical significance of this, this pipeline. really polarizes opinion, not just in ukraine or germany, but around europe. there are some in germany who say, this is a good idea that this is helpful to the german economy. that gas coming through will offer a new opportunities for gas consumers around western europe. there are also many
12:14 am
people, politically, again, not just in germany, not just in ukraine. we know the british prime minister, the american president presently united states, jo bud vall expressed real concerns about node stream to there are some people who say that they believe that the russian government has been deliberately trying to force the german government into green lighting. nordstrom, to quicker, well, this ruling would appear not to be safe paying any heed to that tension between rational i saw also on falling in space. not sco is rejecting us and they tie his ations and it pay recklessly by blind, not one of its satellites. and it is actually generally an stanford sultan bag is saying that it created debris as it is now, a risk to other spacecraft, the i secretary a states and to antony bank and says that moscow cal a weapons test that endanger the lives of 7 after notes. on the international space
12:15 am
station, the explosion created at least 1500 pieces of space junk that will now stay in orbit for years or the russian foreign minister. so caliber of accused us have double standards when it comes to using weapons in space. noonish that the world, the united states call as they put it before we knew or should rules for space exploration last but for some reason, they have ignored for many years to initiative of russia and china to prepare a treating to prevent an arms race in space. they simply ignoring and insisting instead on developing some sort of universe, the rules, however, do not state themselves. we're actively develop the arms race. but i go when you. and so, of course, when russia now test new space weapons when they test it, also by actually destroying space capability, creating a lot of dangerous debris that is concerning both because the debris actually poses
12:16 am
a risk to civilian activity in the space. but it's also of concern because it demonstrate the dresser is not developing new weapon systems that can shoot down the satellites and out there as patty colleen has more of the story from washington . what we heard yesterday from the state department pentagon, all condemning what they said was a provocative and dangerous move. but then again, you just heard from the russians. they say they're denying that it created any sort of danger and space. and they're saying that the u. s. is hypocritical, and it didn't warrant to point out that the u. s. does have the same technology, in fact, used it in 2008 to down. what they said at the time was a satellite that was falling to earth and could oppose to danger. but it did come exactly about a year after the chinese had performed a similar test. we also know the indians have done that into in 2019. so obviously this is a growing field for military development. and important to point out that the u. s . knows this because it created a space command,
12:17 am
a branch of the military solely focused on making sure that they can have some dominance in space. now of course there's going to be a question. should there be a treaty, there really isn't any tree that a tab that goes for modern technology, and it is an area of vulnerability. if you think about just how much we rely on satellite for communications for directions, all sorts of different capabilities that we take for granted here on earth as of the u. s. condemning yesterday, nato doing that the same. and the russians responding, calling the u. s. hypocrites, now it was in use our life from london much more still to bring you on the program . the president in chalet is not contesting this weekend's election, but you could actually be forced out sooner than that. will explain why lebanon is courting new friends at a time of diplomatic crisis with its neighbors, ad and sport, was it over the line or not will have action from asian world cup, qualifying ace, run through the program. ah,
12:18 am
to don's military saying that will release the former prime minister, abdullah hum dog from custody in the next 48 hours member of the nation's new ruling sovereign council told the al jazeera that he'll be among a number of detainees. released ham dog has been under house arrest since being ousted in the military takeover, which shot and 3 weeks ago. this follows the visits of u. s. assistance actually save molly fee to suit don, where leaders confirmed the process is underway to free prisoners as her story that we've been following for the past couple of hours, 3 people have been killed. more than 30 injured in twin suicide bombings in uganda's capital. i sellers claim responsibility, but on the ground, the finger of blame is still pointing at another group that's become tight linked with it. the, our defense voice as was formed on the border of your gander in the democratic
12:19 am
republic of congo in the mid ninety's. it principally recruited from the muslim population, but it's also drawn fighters along secular ethnic lines. after some early attacks, the focus tend to economic and political interest in the dense mountain forests of the east and d. r. c. but violence directed towards the congolese military began in 2013 with thousands of deaths to follow, or the group now says it's aligned with eyes hilbert. united nation says there's no evidence of any direct link on this latest attack could be the sign of a new front. in uganda, it's been blamed for several incidents and made its 1st claim of responsibility just last month for a bombing that killed one person in compiler. katherine sawyer reports now. oh, this is the moment the 1st bomb exploded in compiler. at a check point at the central police station. exactly 3 minutes later,
12:20 am
a 2nd went off, yet the parliament building 3 suicide bombers were involved. they were killed along with 3 other people. dozens were injured. this footage was released by the police who said a 4th man was arrested the suicide jacket found at his home. the unfortunate it's helping us at the time that we're trying to go back to our normal livelihoods. so if these people can come at such a premises of police and, and sit of a boom, then you know, things are not good. the aftermath shoes, how powerful the blasts were broken. windows bonding vehicles and terrified people police. the attacks were carried out by a gun walking alongside the allied democratic forces. the armed group has its roots in uganda, but is now based in the democratic republic of congo. it's fighters have killed thousands of people in the east in recent years. the hallmarks of the attack
12:21 am
clearly indicates that the ear fleeing radicalized groups, ah, still have a desire to carry out little attacks on so to targets using suicide attackers. and the improvised explosive devices behind these attacks is attack follows to others. last month, one killed a waitress in a restaurant and a 2nd on a bass. 2 days later injured several people. i still claim to lose at ox. the adf has pledged it allegiance to the group, the involvement. oh there you got a new in this stupid missions in the origin, especially in somalia mix uganda. it targets on some of these groups. what's happening in uganda also comes at a time when the military is planning to deploy its soldiers to eastern d r. c, to help kimberly's troops and un peacekeepers fight adf. there,
12:22 am
they'll help congolese troops and un peacekeepers to fight 80 of forces. catherine saw alta 0 now as a military leader leave after waged war in libya, but he's now for himself or to be president of a united nation. it's hoped that the vote which will take place in december will consign the countries decade long civil conflict to the past. but as malick trainer boards, people like half that long with mama gadhafi sans safer, la la mancha duffy might make this difficult. he's portrayed himself as a military strong man who can unite libya after years of conflict. but khalifa huffstutter has taken off his military uniform and announced his bid to become libya's 1st democratically elected president. dora now decayed america elections will be the best way and best path for libya and to get back its place amongst the countries of the world. i declare myself a nominee for the presidential elections,
12:23 am
not seeking power. what not finding a place, but to lead our people towards a better future and towards val ferry and live. in april 2019 after lead a 14 month military offensive to seize tripoli from the internationally recognized government. hundreds of thousands of people were displaced in the cities infrastructure damaged. he's been widely accused of committing war crimes. libya has africa's largest oil reserves, but since the revolution that toppled long time leader war mortgage duffy in 2011, the country has been politically divided and engulfed in violence. 10 years on from the revolution safely slammed, duffy wal mart 2nd son has re emerged on the libyan political scene. and on sunday, he applied to register as
12:24 am
a presidential candidate. safe is wanted by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity, including attacks on civilians and peaceful protesters. presidential elections are scheduled for next month, but libya's rival legislative houses have yet to agree on a constitutional framework to hold the vote. and the election commission is accused of helping certain candidates and allegation it denies, not hold off and then we completely reject the candidacy of criminals like safeguard, duffy and cody for hope that in the upcoming elections. we call on the electoral commission to reject the applications of any criminals. we hold them legally responsible to harbor some officials agree. yeah, that door son, the libyan people will only be satisfied when they choose who they want to rule them through elections. there will never concede the right to vote, but they came out with laws tailored for certain individuals. and we will never
12:25 am
accept that. less than 6 weeks before scheduled nationwide elections, the libya is still deeply divided. and despite international pressure, many are concerned the vote that may be delayed. ma, trina ultra 0. how are mimi? are saying that it's reached their sci fi with as of my china after a day of violence which left at least 15 soldiers dead. armenians defense ministry saying the truth was broken by russia. it had earlier asked moscow to help defend its territorial sovereignty against his airy forces which an accused armenia of provocations, armenia and as of by john for a 44 day war, which had lasted a year of the dispute. attaching no corner car back, at least 6 and a half 1000 people were killed in that conflict. members of the nicole go and government has been banned from entering the united states with president joe biden saying that repressive and abusive actions compelled him to take a stand out. fees are measures in response to this month's general election,
12:26 am
which so daniel ortega, when 4th thomas president, the us denounced the vote, is a sham of more than $40.00 opposition, figures with jails allowing ortega to run actually on a post. also indicated that it was, it will work to prevent nicaragua from accessing international lending. we go to chill a now the senate is holding an impeachment trial for president sebastian penny ara, the 71 year old, multi millionaire was impeached by the low house last week of his alleged involvement in the controversial sale of a mining company. he is accused of using his political powers of bolster as businesses a claim he denies america salisia. newman joins us from santiago and of course this is happening just as the country gets ready for presidential elections. how is this likely to affect the vote?
12:27 am
it may not affect the vote, especially if i really maybe i should start by again by saying it really depends on the outcome of this trial if he is convicted or not. either way, a president, vignette is not doing very well in the popularity scale right now. even his own supporters from his own conservative coalition are having serious doubts about whether he's guilty or not of the charges. but as you say, this is a very, very sensitive time, just 5 days before a presidential election. in fact, a national election where there are a lot of senators and deputies up for reelection. so they're going to be thinking twice about just which way they want to vote. some people think that this is all just a ploy by the opposition to bolster their position ah ahead of these elections. that's certainly the argument of president pineda and the few supporters he has left by the other. people believe that it would probably be a good idea to convict him as to set it to set a precedent to say that even someone within their own party,
12:28 am
within their own alliance is not free from justice if they, if there has been wrong doing. so we'll have to see all ready. one of the conservative senators just abstained saying that he really didn't see the smoking gun, but that he could it all consciousness bolt in favor of the president. this is going very slowly. it's been more than 8 hours now since the senators have been speaking the, the president's lawyer already spoke and they are going one by one each, making clear their position and the vote. we don't know exactly when that will be and new say, you have covered protests in the unrest in chile, a calls for better jobs and really social equality. what is the reaction likely to be if panera is not impeached? but the problem is that the senate is pretty much controlled by the conservative
12:29 am
wing, the conservative block. so it would be very unlikely that he would be convicted of some senators. and i'm quoting them, say that they will vote in favor of president of grenada because he is from the apollo they said they will do so holding their nose. but they are unlikely in general, to be enough of them that will turn on him to impeach the president or rather to else the president. he will, however, be considered the very 1st president in gillian history, a democratically elected president. i have been in heat by a democratically elected congress. that's the 1st time that has ever happened. so it is a very, very humiliating to position to be in for president benita. whether this was a political boy by the opposition or not. most chileans are right now was concerned about who's going to be the next president when they go to after they go to the polls on sunday. thank you very much. our latin america. it is salisia newman
12:30 am
now and i was stories of following. europe's top court has ruled hung, they're hungry, have violated you law. 3 years ago when it made a criminal offense, they made it a criminal offense to help asylum seekers. the 2018 hungarian law threatens a sentence of up to a year in prison for people help migrants and refugees applied for asylum rights groups are welcoming the ruling. has been frequent tension between the you and hungry over the anti immigration policies of the president victor, or pan french police of dismantled a migrant company at dunkirk. as tensions are on the rise between london and paris of the number of people illegally crossing the english channel. french media are reporting that close to a 1000 refugees and migrants have been moved from the camp to local shelters.
