extending his 5 years in power. barrow was selected in 2016 ending 22 years of rule under president jaga. jamie. there are 5 other candidates, including barrows, main challenger, and former political mentor, was inaudible. the gambia has a unique voting system. they use marbles to avoid spoiled, ballot papers. the remaining results are expected by sunday evening. local time. let's begin our correspondence at gmail address, who's in ben jewel, the cambrian capital i commit. i izzy, across the finish line, yet is he home free? almost that pita. so far, 41 constituencies have been declared and mr. battle has won 35 of those. what we are told is, but at least 12 other constituents which are being a weighted, which of course could be announced any minute from now. what's happening right now

is that yes, today there was candidates, all representatives of the various pointers can parties who find any endorse the results of this election. but today, when we seeing at the headquarters of the independent electoral commission is such that results were adjusted to the polling stations by representatives of this political parties. but the candidates, the representatives of the candidates, i be independent electoral commission. some of them, in fact, refused to sign all a test to the fact that besides general results, an indication that they could head to the court to challenge the outcome of this result. while 12 consequences have not been declared and some of them, in fact, our big number is caustic, which is why votes i expected in the 10s of thousands. we waiting to see how these results will be declared, but from indications mr. barrel has an unassailable lead for now that could change, but we don't know. so this presumably gives him

a sizable mandate to do exactly as he wants. exactly. and basically he has a lot of things to do. in fact, this is a divided electioneering campaign. i divided election and a lot of grievances have been during the selection and then factors like estimates for the factors like at 2 differences in gumby and politics reared their heads again during the campaign period and even election be we extract. but mr. battle will definitely have this as one of the major problems to solve. apart from that reconciliation process after 22 years of the jeremy have not been concluded. the truth and reconciliation commission commission as submitted this report just days before the election. and the government is the official white paper that election, a lot of companies are watching closely to see how mr. barrow we ever went to this election will deal with the outcome of that report. and apart from that,

you have issues like be economy. basically, this is a country that is just emerging from the impact of the coffee 19 pandemic. now there are stories of army con virus, the new variant of dividers happening, and a lot of people was livelihood depend on tourism. in this country, i watered that this could again shut down business. yeah. one tour operator i spoke with. it's thinking about a bundling this business altogether and go into farming what probably he can make it apart from that. they come situation in this country's a bit difficult and that with inflation, unemployment, and of course, for quality of education, still a problem, mr. borrow or wherever, which this election will definitely has his place for us. man, thank you very much. estimate interest johnny's life here on the news out of band jewel. now, for 10 months, we've been seeing images of demonstrations and crackdowns coming out of me in law. in february, the military overthrew the democratically elected government of unc sons who she

and put her in prison. on sunday, these videos emerged from me and mars, largest city, and gone. security forces can be seen running a car into a peaceful rally. there are reports of 5 deaths and multiple injuries from bangkok, tony cheng explains. now what happened? well, this appears to have been a very swift reaction to the flash mob that hid the streets about mid morning in came in dung districts are which is in central yank. on just a few streets away from the iconic troy, the gone for go to the crowd, had just assembled. and if you can see in videos posted on social media, a, an armored track appears to move in very quickly from behind at speed powering straightened to them 5 reported to have died dozens more injured bodies lying on the street. you can see in the aftermath it does appear to fit. also the pattern that we've seen emerging a protest as who still wants to maintain their presence on the streets. and there

are visible objections to the queue that happened back in february, but very aware that the security services are going to crack down harshly with very little thought for the preservation of life. so that they're doing this very quickly in younger and other big cities across myanmar. but clearly in this instance, the security services were on the scene reacted very quickly and again with very little thought for life. and i think it's just an illustration of how much these people are taking their lives into their hands, even protesting for just a few minutes as clearly cost in their lives on this occasion. tourney chang reporting their well, this is not the 1st time security forces of target, mostly peaceful protests in me and more, more than 1300 people had been killed since the coo in february, february 1st. the military has been arresting, political opponents, medical staff, medical workers, and journalists tube, in one particular incident at least 65 processors and bystanders was shot to death during one single protest in that yan gone beyond body. investigating what happened

says the widespread and systematic attacks on civilians, amount to crimes against humanity, less speak now to dr. sasa, he's a spokesman for me and mars to pose civilian government. he joins us from for his safety, an undisclosed location. doctor sa cert. welcome to the news our here on al jazeera, your thoughts on this latest incident. first, please. they was against the whole world. wooden as the barbarity in humanity, clarity, brutality, all general cider, military hunter, in miramar. these are the same military in the us. they have tried to wipe out our rule, kingery, muslim brothers and sisters 3 years ago. these are the same military scenarios that have genocide or a gender attacking all the minority across the country for the last 70 gays.

so is non you to the people from the m r bar. now it's time for it another community to take a strong action to prevent another genocide from happening again in august while you're saying, you know, you seem to be saying to us that you expect some thing or more from the international community. can i respectfully suggest you could have said that 6 months ago or a year ago or 18 months ago, but the international community does not get traction with this huge issue. why is that? clearly, it's another no. commonly, d as a fell on the people of the world, particularly being mere math. and it's national company the has the power to saw these crime against humanity. even china, even in the, even on liberal,

have the power to stall these atrocities if they wanted to borrow data when to so it is up to, to national company to design eve. they were a law again. and not that an aside from happening in asha but when you say china for example, could stop it, i guess you would believe as well that the asean countries could stop it. your words, sir, not mine if they wanted to. china is looking in on this because china does not want some thing, a huge conflagration spilling over the border into chinese territory. that's clear, that's been china's settle stance, settled stance. and we've known that for a long time. chaos in miramar is not good for chair instability in miramar. it's not good for asha

is destroyed. the whole regions now go in 19 is out of control. as you rightly say, job human trafficky, drug trafficking, refugee flooding across the country, and a crisis crossing international. moral is not the good for china, nothing good for us her. so the problem is now, is there the willingness to stop these before it's becau on thought before before, and become too late? it's already too late for us and to take action. and from china to play action thermal at the is the future piece is the future prosperity that the future not only for me, m r, but for entire region. and for our neighbor, you say peace is the future. the immediate future, this time tomorrow will probably be reporting on a key verdict being handed down, in the cases, plural against anson sushi. depending upon what the court says,

do you think that might become a spark for more trouble on the streets? or have those people who rose up against the jointer have they had enough this try. this is show the whole process all busy charges against the our sausages, the counselor of mamma, and our elected official president, who we mean are all a show trial. it has nothing to do with the rule of law or justice. it has everything to do in prolonging of military junta, laying of care or against the people who mamma. they have already very, very dictate it just as sure. so it was tomorrow. busy you see eve, they executed as they have plotted on base on from the legit charges without evidence without proof of any validation of law. and then they were,

they went to see more chaos in the country. they were a may mo, entrust this country. they want to kill more people, they want to destroy it, mo, in the country, and bring on that and destruction region. dr. sasa, thank you very much for joining us here on al jazeera. thank you for the me. across the border in the indian state of naca land, at least 14 civilians were killed during a military operation that happened in the district of mon. the army is reported to a shot, a truck carrying dozens of coal miners. troops later, fired at a crowd that gathered in protest against that attack, one soldier was also killed. well, this remote state has been under a special powers act for more than 6 decades. it allows security forces to arrest, shoot, and kill, without warrant and grunts. the immunity, the controversial law, has been in force in india and administer kashmir and parts of 3 other northeastern

states. human rights groups of accused indian security forces of abuse. the government says it's the council violence by our groups and to insure security in the region. let's talk now to been a lecture me nap ron. she's the founder and director of the many poor women guns survivors network and the convenience of the northeast and indian women initiative for peace. welcome to the news, our. why does this situation and the use of this political act or this military interpretation of a political act? carry on and why has it carried on for so long and it's, it's can navigates whoever is in power in delhi. yes. oh. first of all, people are now gallant and the people of ne, are in deep mourning today, over this really brutal killing of 14 civilians including a in a which includes

a security force personal to which happened in the state of morn. this brings us trauma of. so many massacres that have taken place, not only in naga land but in the neighboring of money, poor as well as other states of north use of india. since the imposition of the armed forces specialist bowers act, india 1958. and as you rightly said, persist for the last 6 decade still to day. this is because india has never treated the people what to 5000000 indigenous people off now the land and money bore and the northeast of india as equal citizens of an equal country. we have one country, but 2 laws, and this is something which i call the rationalization, and collin ality of power, which const continues from the british columbia of the times. the armed forces, special powers act was actually a british colonial act, claimed to what mama gun is read india movement in 1942 after goodish left, india $947.00,

the government of india. but this act on 4 to 5000000 indigenous people off north use of india. and the question deborah ask is, as a result of snow gender site has been going on more than 50000 people. this killing is not the 1st time the northeast of india is literally india estimate. when thousands of people right now, the supreme court of india has more than 1500 extradition killings just from my home state of money for a loan. so does this, what is happening in the world's largest democracy and the killing of what happened yesterday is mon is just a tip of the iceberg. we are tired of this conflict. we had died of this killings and we've been asking the government of india that after parliament due to appeal this act must be immediately said, we have a union law minister was from the northeast of india and we are going up under prime minister's office. and the union, ron minister and the government of india to repeal this martial law. because if

this was not done, did that miss or just wouldn't have discriminated? li are open fire because of course a special bowers egg gives to right to any indian soldier to fire on. mere charges of suspicion differ that violation of the constitution of india. article 21, as well as the universal declaration of human rights. and it's in his case, the thing it clearly there is no desire on the part of the powers that be in delhi to change the narrative. so if the pressure that you are asking for has to come to bear, where will it come from? it has to come from the will of the present ruling government who wrote in 2000 manifesto that ruined repeal this act because we had so many cases of this killing slave. what happened in mon, we had to her anger to massacre of 1984. we had the or in our massacre of 1987 in the rooms massacre read. a medical student was killed along with 9 others. we are,

we dis has been happening repeatedly. and many of the soldiers who commit describes we are not saying or indian soldiers about, but if the soldiers have committed, indiscriminate killing, there shouldn't be punished. but the fact is, i am telling miss another 0 that and not a single soldier have been punished because this martial law gives them impunity. this is what we are against. india can have military's and at their borders. but you cannot have military killing civilians. and the armed forces, special powers is protecting the soldiers while killing civilians. and till now nobody, whether it's found a man or ama rent, an extra to shall killing gas in 2004 or what happened in one day to day was nigrama. that's a very good breakdown of what has happened in these indian states that you're discussing. but forgive me, didn't answer my question. if the pressure is to come from some place to address this ongoing crisis. a situation where people are dying,

where people are killing other people with impunity and they are not being held to account apparently. where is that pressure going to come from? it has to come 1st to fall from like we have been for the last 5 decades. pressurizing our own government in the states in neither land in money were and where the amp was the spacious bowers act. because a year after year, the are declaring our states to be disturbed, which allows this martial law to be imposed continuously in the world's largest democracy in this only country in the world. ok numbered. but the, and on hold minister just to interrupt you again, which i'm sorry, the indian home minister has condemned. what has happened there is that the beginnings of step change for you. this is, this is not enough, condemnation is not enough. justice must be done. not only for what happened yesterday, but for us thousands had been killed in the last flight to 6 decades since was vision of the armed forces specials, palace,

x. the present or minister is the bottom political body, which in the $24.00 did manifest in money for said this act has to be repealed therein. but for the last, like for so many years, why haven't a dick taken up action? so we asked the unit will minister of india to immediately repeal this draconian armed forces, special pass ag, which has no place in a democracy and the greatest blood on india's democracy. okay, we must leave it there. been a lecture me no problem. thank you so much. for joining us here on the news out and india's home minister i met shaw has treated about the shooting, saying he's anguished, and he's also expressing his course, deepest condolences, the families of those who lost their lives. he says they will be a thorough investigation by the state government to indonesia. now, at these 14 people have been killed. off for volcano erupted on the island of java, there have been countless injuries as well. his julian walls

asserting the damage from above. after mouthy moose viewed piles of ash 12000 meters into the sky. down below, entire homes have been submerged. villages blanketed with falling ash. the creeping lava is destroying everything in its path. samira is one of indonesia, nearly a $130.00 active volcanoes. get bash altura and is the highest peak on the nation's most densely populated island of java. sudden eruption was triggered by days of heavy rain. i was scared in running a panic because disruption was much bigger interruption that occurred last year. smouldering debris, thick smoke and power outages have hampered search and rescue operations. evacuation efforts had been suspended for now with the cloud surrounding the effected area, remaining too hot to handle. people who managed to escape had been staying at this evacuation center. of the people behind me

o evacuated local villages at the moment they need assistance like daily necessities, food and drinks. we also don't know how long they need to stay here. for those who want to return home have been told they can't. and to stay far away from the craters mouth, the volcano had seen an increase in activity in recent days, but it's alert status was not res. now many here want to know why they weren't warned. why deb clutch by should bryce what went wrong? or if somebody slip being on the job or our way of communicating didn't get it is not be here in an answer. many rub. as soon as i pick up the pieces of what is left behind, gillian wolf, al jazeera, lots more still to come for you here on the news r, including russia, is accused of weapon ising its energy resources to put more pressure on ukraine.

far from home and influx of cuban asylum seekers heading to increase despite tight rules for new arrivals. and in sport, australia's new captain named his team for the 1st ashes test against england. ah, top story in europe this, our competing rallies are being held in paris for and against far right presidential candidates, eric zam, or the political pundit declared his candidacy a few days ago. there was a heavy police presence on the streets with concerns about fighting between rival groups. the protests against them all was put on by some 50 organizations, including far left political parties and anti racism groups. so who is eric them, or while he's a writer and a media personnel, if he'd known for his provocative white when views on islam immigration and

feminism, a poll before he declared his candidacy suggested he could reach the 2nd round against president manuel macro. placing him ahead of marine le pen, some commentators believe he can reach voters that le pen cannot and could do better against macros than lapel managed to do. in their 2017 televised debate, natasha butler was at one of the rallies in paris. thousands of protesters working in parson are demonstrating against eric the more he's holding his 1st presidential campaign. riley on the outskirts of the capital now is i will note television puns it and really to hear from us. but he has no political experience, but he is a 3 me famous in france, record traversal inflammatory fall right? opinions are more is mc migration. his anti islamic talk in the post about supporting muslims. he's also upset many in the jewish community by saying that the

regime of world war 2 here in france collaborated with the not be, should be glorified. he also has many opinions when it comes to women, he sees their role as in the home as child bears. he says that by logically incapable of being leaders. and what people here say is eric more is a threat to democracy. a threat to frances institutions. well, a month or so back the more was doing rather well, according to opinion polls poll, suggested that he could be to the far right political party lead to marine the pen to reach the 2nd round runoff against the french president, emanuel micron. but in recent weeks, his ratings do seem to slipped mainly due to a number of personal gas. he made an obscene gesture to approach. yes sir, in the southern city of la say he had a very poor performance. it was widely a perceived in a high profile television interview,

but already that are the conservative right. doing party now picked their candidates for this presidential race. and that is also going to have an effect on eric the more because she is trying to appeal to the same source of voters that he is with thousands of people in belgium are protesting in the capital, brussels against new cobit 19 restrictions. the government introduced stricter measures for a 3rd time this week as hospital struggle to cope with a 4th wave. it's making masks mandatory for children older than 6 and enforcing work from home rules. kindergartens and primary schools in order to extend their christmas holidays. india has reported its highest single daily death toll from cope. 19 since july, the new on the chrome variant has now been detected in the capitol. new delhi went through a devastating outbreak of the delta variance earlier this year. south korea will begin testing all incoming travelers for on

a kron passengers will be tested on arrival. and for the next 2 weeks, south koreans and foreigners will have to quarantine for 10 days. regardless of their vaccination status. the pandemic has been grinding on for almost 2 years now . it's been a challenging time for most all of us loc dunn's new ways of working and being separated from love, runs for extended months or years. all things that can take a toll on people's mental, emotional health and wellbeing. well, health organization says drug and alcohol abuse has increased during periods of isolation. and people are experiencing insomnia and anxiety. and now with many questions left unanswered about ami crohn. some of us are struggling with ways to cope. let's bring in donna dawson, she's a psychologist joining us from london. donna, i'm supposed to be good to see you again, but it's not good to see you again because of what we're talking about. so forgive my introduction to our conversation. how do we cope with this,

or do we just not cope with it? do we just stick our heads in the sand and say okay, if it gets me or people close to me, i'll deal with it then until that happens, we'll work around it. oh, hello peter. well, i think it depends on your personality type in your experiences, and what group of society you are in. i mean, the stotts tend to show us, and the latest survey shows that women younger adults, those who live alone, caregivers, people, low education or no unemployment. they're going to worry more, i mean, they've always worried more anyway, but they're worrying more now during this time. demick. and i think the general levels of anxiety depression tend to go up and down with what's happening regarding little town or vaccinations. i mean, lately they started to go down since the summer and of course now as we approach the winter and we're hearing more about it on the news, more people are getting it. we've got a new variant. people's anxiety levels are starting to rise. and depending on who

you talk to, those stats can very gps might say, oh, i've only seen a 10 percent rise in people reporting depression to me. but in fact, most people are not accessing their gps for this because they realized their gps are either inaccessible or too busy. so people are going online, looking for mental health help. and one mental health charity reckoned that they've seen a 175 percent increase in people looking for help with problems like depression and anxiety. so it is out there, and it looks like most of us are trying to cope ourselves by looking for help. and, you know, as the pandemic increased as again, as it normally does during winter with this new varian. what fuels the anxiety is not knowing, not knowing from day to day, how this is going to affect us individually or as a family unit or our jobs, and not being able to organize or control our own futures. i remember conversation you and i had on this program on this channel. i think it must have been about 1560

months ago now. i suspect, and you said 2 of them, one of the best things you can do, and i guess this would relate to the on the chrome variance as well, is the pin to a news program. dip into what your government is saying to you, but don't get sucked into that 24 hour a day. cycle of news, channel headlines, worry and anxiety. put her, put a tow into the water of the conversation and then withdraw. concentrate on something else because that kind of gives you the ability you then have the skill set, keep your emotional equilibrium in balance. he absolutely right. people like you and i can't do that. we have to keep arrest her. that's happening daily and you know, i, i feel that all it takes on me taking it all on board and, and thinking about things. but, but you're right it, we do have to maintain a distance. i think there are 3 groups of people out there. now those who walk to the.
