an influx of cuban migrants are making their way to greece to find a better life. ah, restart in the gambia where provisional results have begun to come in from saturdays presidential elections. it appears the incumbent atom a barrow is going to secure a 2nd term, extending his 5 years in power. barrow was elected in 2016 ending 22 years of rule under president yar, jamie, there are 5 other candidates, including barrows, main challenger, and formerly political mentor, was in o double. the cambia has a unique voting system. they use marbles to avoid spoiled, ballot papers. the remaining results are expected by sunday evening. local time augment, address has more now from the capital bengal. so far, 41 custom ways have been declared and mister battle has won 35 of those.

what we are told is, but at least 12 other constituencies are being a weighted, which of course could be announced any minute from now. what's happening right now is that yes, today there were candidates, all representatives of the various points could parties who find and endorsed the results of this election. but today would 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 i test to the fact that these are genuine results, an indication that they could head to the court to challenge the outcome of this result. well, 12 constituents, this have not been declared and some of them, in fact, the big number is caustic weight is lab boats. i expected in the 10s of thousands.

we went in 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. this is a divided electioneering campaign. i divided election and a lot of grievances have been ed during this election. and then fact, just like estimates for the practice like petty differences in gumby and politics, read their heads again during the campaign period and even election day. we expect that mr. battle will definitely have this as one of the major problems to solve. apart from that, the reconciliation process after 22 years of the i, jeremy have not been cooked. clues on reconciliation commission commission is submitted to support just days before the election. and the government is the white paper on the election. a lot of companies i want to close need 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 the economy for 19 months now. we've been seeing images of

demonstrations and crack vans coming out of me and me off in february the military overthrew the democratically elected government amongst on sushi and puts her in prison. on sunday, these videos emerged from me in the biggest city, then gone. security forces can be seen running a car into a peaceful rally. there are reports of 5 death and multiple injuries from bangkok. tony cheng explains now what happened while his peers to have been a very swift reaction to the flash mob that hit the streets about mid morning in came in dung district, which is in central yang on just a few streets away from the iconic show. the guns ago to the crowd had just assembled. and if you can see in videos posted on social media a, an arm, a truck appears to move in very quickly from behind, at speed, pairing straight into the 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 want to maintain that presence on the streets. and the visible objections to the queue that happened back in february. but very aware that the security services are going to crank down, hosted with very little thought for the preservation of life so that they're doing this very quickly in young, gone, and other big cities across man. 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 has clearly costs in their lives on this occasion. and across the border in the indian state of nevada land, at least 14 civilians have been killed during a military operation. it happened in the modern districts. the army is reported to a shot at a trunk. carrying dozens of coal miners. troops later fired at

a crowd that gathered in protest against that attack. one soldier was also killed in the minister. i made shaw has gone on twitter about the shooting, saying he's anguished and expressing his course deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. he says they will be a thorough investigation by the state government. while the remote state has been under a special powers act for more than 6 decades, it allows the security forces to arrest, shoot, and kill without warrants and grounds them immunity. the controversial law has been in force in indian, administered kashmir, and parts of 3 other northeastern states. human rights groups have accused the indian security forces of abuses. the government says is to counter violence by armed groups and to ensure security across the region. make peace sits lou as a journalist covering the north east region of india, she explains what's behind this incident if inputs asked, but even the statement of the army that they had credible intelligence. however,

you know, turned or ray when they fired at civilians are the millions who are called mind laborers who were on the way back to the village in a buck pickup truck. and the 1st fire or the 1st shot. the 1st round of firing was done by the, by the indian palet paramilitary. so it is clearly an intelligence, a gone, terribly, terribly wrong. the state of novel and of course, has had a very long history of, you know, session. the session is movements that have been in place since the time that in young, again, an independent independence in 1047. so it has the very idea of novel in being a part of india has been highly, heavily contested by several groups in the state. are, you know, as time went by, you know, and despite of course, several of negotiations and attempts by the indian gate to reach a compromise, there are so groups who have asked for, you know, for the, for the state,

for the area to be recognize a separate ent, entity, so there is a group called the national socialists council of novel in which is fighting for essentially a separate flag and a constitution. these areas are not just novel, but other seats in the northeast of the fall under what is called the distilled areas. these areas which are classified as the still barriers by the whole ministry in delhi effectively have something called the armed forces. special act in place in such faces, the army department of paramilitary forces have been given. unbridled power to arrest or shoot are merely on just suspicion. they don't have to verify anything. they don't have to be convinced. in indonesia, at least 14 people have been killed off from old cane, ruptured on the island of java. they have been countless injuries as well gillian wolf. now with the latest assessing the damage from above. after mount sinners viewed piles of ash,

rights report that came out last week. detailing the cases of more than a 100 members of the full, the security of forces of the previous administration. that since the takeover by the taliban have either been killed, it says or have simply disappeared. now it says says that these words were carried out over a period of weeks that sometimes the taliban would have been using employment records to track down these form members. or in some cases it said actually trick them into coming forward. declaiming amnesty, they'll need to identify themselves, give themselves away, and then to be targeted. now, these allegations are not particularly new. we have had a number of allegations of human rights abuses of potentially war crimes by the taliban, especially in the run up to it take over during the take over itself, often backed up by what would appear to be documentary evidence from social media and so on. but these allegations refer strictly to these crimes

edge crimes that happen since the takeover and also that they were condemned by the taliban itself. now that is particularly damaging because it says that while local commanders carried out on many cases, these crimes, it had the knowledge and was conducted by the taliban itself of the taliban. they have denied these allegations. they said they will look into individual cases, but they have had deniability because of course the taliban is not a single structure with a well disciplined hierarchy. while at leadership is here, many of the taliban groups in provinces do work with a certain amount of ptolemy and it does have that ability. well, this report says that the leadership knew about it and can don't. these opponent crimes women in afghanistan had been protesting against gender inequality, including a ban on girls attending school. their demands include being able to return to work and no longer having to be accompanied by a man when a site. it comes out for
