[000:00:00;00] a a ah huge crowds take to the streets since the day mark in the anniversary of an uprising for democracy. ah, hello, i'm have them. think of this is as you said, a live from the also coming up new locked downs and travel restrictions as the arm

across various spreads across the globe. she lands choose between a right wing candidate and a leftist in one of the most divisive presidential elections. in decades urgent appeals for aid. after the devastation of typhoon riah, crossed the southern philippines. ah paula, we begin in sudan where protesters have gathered near the presidential palace in hot 2. earlier tea gas was fired as they made their way to the building protesters or marquis 3 years since the revolution that ended former president ometer, but she is a 30 year rule. but she, dana seen more protests in recent weeks following the military's power grab in october. now this is where the presidential palace in cartoon is located to report say, police have completely withdrawn from the area,

have all his life worse in heart to me now. so what's happening yes, you're right. the people are in front of the presidential police and there were attempts on the part of the security forces and police to disperse them. they were successful to a degree, but people returned thousands estimate to be still there. but this cam issues are still continuing, police are surrounding good protesters and they are using gas. i'm trying to still trying to, to end about protests. we don't know so far the tensions of the protests, those we don't know whether they are planning for a long city or not a publicly because they are completely besieged. it's going to be very difficult in this cold climate to continue to be there without supplies or anything. they didn't bring anything with them to help them stay the night. also some of the bridges, all, most of the bridges surrounding the city,

the central city of come to them out of some clothes. some of the saw him are barricaded by the protest of some are barricaded by the police from both on both ends of the bridge. you see the police on one side under protest as on the other 5 . if the likelihood is that this is going to take some time during, during this evening, before it's ended. and how much momentum is there for these protests to continue right now? because obviously it started it's been going on for some time and it's today is, is mocking to 3 years since amr but here's removal. but it doesn't look like the protesters have any desire to to hold back to this point. no sort of clear housing doctor, this situation is very likely to continue because we have seen a pattern of that. a sporadic, intermittent flaring up of protests every now and then every 2 months,

every month, every few weeks, whenever there is a little occasion or a big occasion, they come back by force or in force. and this, today is one of the biggest occasions, of course, because it is the 3rd anniversary. there is a huge amount of resentment on the part of the testers because of that could have happened on the 25th of october the, the bodies, the political bodies that are presenting the protest as well as from the government by force, by the military. they are demanding no less than a complete a return to the starts to the previous situation, or even a complete handover of power by the military. they want a civil road and they want a doctor to continue until there would be a fair election. and we know that there is even a dispute with regards to a difference of opinion about elections. the protest as they want an election that is like 3 or 5 years from now,

the military want the election but is next year. so even if they sit together and you say discuss it is very difficult to come to a conclusion with regards to the political process and the democratic process. mohammed, thank you. mm hm. all the vows in heart to force me. now, the surge encoded 19 cases linked to the oma kron variant has led european governments to take urgent action ahead of the winter holidays. the netherlands as begun, a strict locked down to the prime minister's called unavoidable, non essential shops, bars, restaurants, along with schools and many public places have closed. in the u. k. prime minister boys johnson is under pressure to impose tougher restrictions to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. more than 80 to 1000 infections were reported earlier on sunday, but anger against new restrictions is continuing for the 3rd weekend in a row belgians turned out to impose to oppose compulsory health measures,

such as mosques locked downs and vaccine passes. that vessel has more now on the look down in the netherlands. one of the free countries in europe, no has district is locked down since 5 o'clock this morning, only essential shops are allowed to remain open and only visitors are allowed at home. the decision came as a surprise to many here in the netherlands and is specifically dramatic for business owners. and the busy weeks before christmas. the government says, even though infection, the army, chrome ferry and not as widespread as in other countries, yet they are concerned that in the next few weeks, hospital will be flooded. but the main reason, according to experts, is that the maryland perform poorly during the last outbreak, and many patients with the data very and still in hospital, also in adults with one of the last countries to start is boost the campaign. so many people are not protected here. and an abilene task refrain from taking

unpopular matches like, for example, one or 2 g policy like in germany, were only people with vaccinations or tests can enter shops, restaurants, and bars. and i was have seen protests and riots in the last couple of months against go with restrictions and also against the unclear policies by the government. so many are wondering what will happen now in the time before christmas when people want to get together and celebrate. oh, but connie is a senior clinical lecture at the university of exits, his medical school. he explains the current concerns about the new variance because it is, are highly infectious. and we have seen the rising tide of cases. we know that it won't be 0 disease causing. so let's take an example. if the delta vary caused one percent of the people to be seriously ill. on the other hand, we've got army crone, which will create many more millions of cases. and it is not 15 percent seriously

ill, but not 15 percent of a very large number. a much larger number is still a very big number. and those are the concerns. the other concerns are this vaccine bypassing. and then finally there is a not so peer reviewed report out just yet from imperial university, which say's that it may be just as much disease causing as the delta variant. what is required? is it continuous effort? you the locked down gives you a little bit of breathing space. i accept that. but after the locked down, it shouldn't be. you drop all your god. and this is where i think we've gone wrong in the united kingdom, which is they call it freedom day and all sorts of other euphemisms. that's the wrong messaging because if you continue after the lock down with good infection control measures, you won't need another one. and that's the way we should be doing it. in the u. s.

president joe biden is considering further measures as cases rise that says americans prepare for the busiest travel season of the in states like connecticut and michigan are seeing surges in hospital admissions. the centers for disease control also says on the corn is on the verge of becoming the dominant variant in new york city, kristen salumi as more from new york. when people are very worried, the number of new infections has been rising. we broke another record yesterday, saturday, with $22000.00 infections reported the highest single day total for new york hospitalizations are also rising 50 percent nationally, but when it comes to hospitalization, those are still well below. last winter's peak, but we've got dr. anthony found she the advisor to the white house saying that he does expect even more strain on the hospital system going forward. and we're already starting to see that particularly in areas where people have where there's

low vaccination rates. but thought she is saying that people who are vaccinated here in the united states could feel comfortable travelling to meet with family and meeting with family as long as people are vaccinated. so that's mostly what we're hearing from officials in the united states. and here in new york right now, they're encouraging people to get backs unaided and boosted. they're not predicting more locked downs doctor found. she says he doesn't see more locked downs in new york or the united states future, but we're already hearing of a lot of private holiday events get cancelled, and even some public holiday events get cancelled as well. office parties, private parties, the rockettes have shut down their annual christmas show for the year. so it's really starting to have an effect. and people are getting very nervous voters in chile casting that balance in the presidential runoff election left. when gabriel bought a standing against right,

we politician jose antonio cast results is expected to be close between the 2 candidates who are offering softly different parts of the chile future. alexandra, he has more from the capital. santiago voting is continuing here in the capital santiago and across the country. things are going smoothly. but if you talk to a lot of children, and they'll tell you that they are quite worried about the outcome of the elections . that there is a lot of uncertainty because this is in many ways an election that has been quite different from what you are used to. this is a country that has for the last 30 years since the country is returned to the mar christy. after the big theater ship of shit out 31 years ago was used to always the siding between mother. it's kind of a candidates on the sensor laughter on the and to write that shared pretty much the same economic views of, of the country. that is not the case to in this particular election. the front

runner is with them on your cast at 55 year old, the lawyer who presents itself for the right or even ultra right. in many ways, he is the father of 9, and he's proposing a returned to law and order in the country, and he's an apologist of the penal years. on the other side, you have gabriella bar it. you just turned 35. last february, the minimum grades to run for president in sheila and that is seen as a more traditional progressive, but that has alive himself with the communist party, which a lot of people here fear that could bring in a slightly different direction or to wrench a rain and flash floods in malaysia have forced 11000 people from their homes. emergency work as a rescuing the strand is to take them to shelters, floods,

a familiar scene across 30 go 50. people are desperate for drinking water lining up for hours just to be able to buy drinking water that is now causing more than doubled than what it used to be. just like the price of rice and fuel and it's quite clear that the situation here is desperate. a still head danasia will hear how many have voted in hong kong 1st so called patriots. only elation. i'm dominant jane boone in cultural exhibition that's bringing east and west head to head ah, with your weather report for the middle east and africa come at actually right now. hello everyone. good to see. we have a lot of activity in the levant. we'll talk more about this in a 2nd, is shifting what, whether into northern parts of syria and same for iraq,

national security. people voted for politicians to represent them in the legislative council. but unlike previous elections, most of the candidates were vetted and approved by beijing, hong kong, 4400000 people were eligible the territories largest opposition party. the democratic party boycotted the elections brit clinic reports from their jain, billboards all over hong kong, urging residents to vote in an election designed strictly for chinese patriots. security was tied to hong kong held it 1st, paul, since china's leaders in beijing over whole the electoral system. those changes they said were to ensure only those who love china run hong kong. the new rules drastically limit the number of directly elected seats in hong kong, parliament. 4 and a half 1000000 hong kong residents are eligible to vote for members of the legislative council. but their ballots will only decide 20 seats out of 19. the

rest will be hand picked by pro aging committees. the leadership in beijing says the new rules will clean up what it calls any anti china elements and bring com to the once lively legislature in the formats for his colony. that was in regulation that way if you set it that way, you'll have to obey the law. office of basic thing if you don't want then don't play the game with my pro democracy figured out as of right. the probate politicians are working ahead without an effective opposition. the question is, how many voters turned off by this lack of choice? this 20 year old student who asked al jazeera to conceal her identity, said the lack of representation meant she won't be voting. the golf and election and not trustworthy to me now because they can qualify whoever they will dislike. and ruth, can we change every 2nd side? awesome. and to what they're sorry for. so actually this is quite huge and

meaningless. so she's all $153.00 candidates in the selection were selected. priority is they had the concept of patriotism and love for hong kong. what they want is hong kong to be good. early polling data suggested a lower turn out than previous years. but while costing her balance, hong kong leader, kerry lamb reiterated that the turn out is not her focus. the government not set any target for both to turn out. not for this election nor for previous elections. because there is a combination of factors that will affect the vote to turnover rate in any election, but it does appear to be a delicate topic. the hong kong government threatened the wall street journal over one of the newspapers critical editorials in the lead up to the election. and at least 10 people were arrested for inciting others to cost a blank ballot. exiled leaders of the democracy movement called for everyone to void caught sundays election. police responded by issuing warrants for their arrest

. right clinic, al jazeera hong kong. a funny chung is a hong kong activist living in exile in the us. he was a candidate. the last year's elections in the territory. he says sundays. paul was widely boycotted. most of the people your home actually now also want to point be election and then actually personally, not just me and then also many other actors. so we collectively push the people to boycott the election. and yesterday i just we aggress warren's on the government because i didn't accuse me thought incite. can people to poke holt, but actually i do believe the public opinion is there, the momentum there on the crime is all calling for the boycott. election will have the lowest turn, not in hong kong history. so i've been this week demonstrate a fairly clear stick. no 2 pages that hung on people, we will not you. and it's regarding all this political grad down. i mean,

we caught interest though. so call lee, because political reform actually has a change in fresco to screening and school denies political candidate, hong kong people do not embrace this kind of idea. personally, i also pacify in the us congress for several times with a couple hong kong. and you can see that the u. s. government has the momentum to help people. but of course, we are still pushing some humanitarian pathways for people to, to flee, and also to immigrate to other places. for political reasons, thailand has sent hundreds of refugees back to me and more around 2 and a half 1000 people had crossed into thailand in recent days after a flare up in fighting between me and mas army and rebels from the cowan ethnic minorities. i authority since 600 back even as clashes continue rights groups are urging the government not to turn people away. they say me and my military is deliberately targeting civilians. a rights group, say, ranger,

who have fled to me and have fled me and my have faced abuses in bangladesh as well . over the past year, authorities have moved around $20000.00 refugees from cox's bizarre to the island of bus on char. they say it is necessary to ease over crowding in the mainland camps, but humanitarian goods call it an island jail and say there were serious concerns about safety them. they've called for an end to forced relocations a more than a 1000000 ranger live in cox's bazaar. the world's largest refugee camp can be a chattering, has worn out from the bangladesh capital a very significant visit. indeed, he was able to visit with the foreign minister, the other you and an angel. the more importantly, he was able to discuss the issues with the writing or refugees themselves. because there are a lot of concerns raised recently about their situation in boston or island. i island where many of the rowing refugees have been relocated. and also those in the

camp, the holland violence they're facing inside the cam, gang violence violence by our ser member. these where he shows that he looked into spoke to the camp leader, even the common growing or refugees. so he did that finding mission will be an updated information that will be presented in march 22 next year to the un human rights council. in that context, that is important. he, in the press conference, raised the issues about education of nearly half the population of the camp, which is nearly a 1000000. that is a major concern. and he spoke with the government about a formal education system to the set up within the camp. the government didn't commit, according to my question, when i asked him, he said, but they're seriously looking into this matter. also the fact that the boston islands supposed to have a livelihood facilities, and now there are issues durango's there told him that the facilities are secure. they're happy of the security,

but not happy with the living facilities which does not exist. there is an after school or educational facilities rather, and not enough hospital with proper care. o migrants in mexico have protested policies designed to make it harder for them to enter the us many of the demonstrators, from guatemala, and have been forced to walk through mexico after the government stopped them using transport. the migrants plans to reach the u. s. have also been delayed by the reinstatement of the remain in mexico policy. it forces migrants to wait across the border while the applications are being assessed. now to a city famous for its cold war war way, east is meeting west in a new exhibition company came reports from berlin. the cool and the cold showcases all sorts of and from that defining period in german history, it's a window on a world gone by pitting communism against capitalism. the real against the abstract

and iconic leaders against leading icons from an era when the message was as profound as the art itself. artist help us to understand the systems we are living in. and very often i think artists are, you know, showing us that you can live against it and that you can stand for the other in the other perspective. and so i hope that, that visitors really see that, you know, also at these times, but also at our times now, artists are telling us about the, the politics we're living in. this exhibition focuses on life and art during the cold war. so lenin peers out from his library, the manners the people in command, while starling appears, his wartime leader, receiving the thanks of a grateful nation. the space race is a key theme. here you re cordy of draws together cosmos from every part of the van communist world. but lowell nesbit lift often splashed down fly the flag for the

democratic world for the exhibitions curation. this is an example of what distinguishes the art of the u. s. s. r. from the usa of us always tend to be picked pictures. for example, the pub art is painting things they found on footages like comics or photograph. and i have the impression the us are to watch more close to the motive to the things they really want to pay. too many western eyes pop art has long been considered cool. lead to buy andy will holes answers to abstract expressionism from painting popstars to collect and cans of soup on kansas? what he liked eating for lunch back then? now the rest of the world consumes in art form during the cold war, some behind the iron curtain considered this propaganda. while in the west, much the same was said about much of soviet art. the time when this propaganda was
