oh, it was an election day of one candidate, 3 protesters and lots of police, 7000 officers, in fact, enough to keep the few dissenting voices well away from the convention center where the vote was held. analysts say that john lee has china's trust, but winning the trust of hong kong could be more difficult. trust can be rebuilt through several ways. one way is by restoring a countable government in hong kong, which is in debased, i would say under the administration of kerry lamb. so that requires the cooperation of the media of ledge cow, of civil society. sunday was also mother's day in hong kong. some people we spoke to were aware there was an election, but just weren't sure that the candidates name. oh certainly but yeah.

rodrigo de tirty, nearly a quarter of the population lives in poverty. right and another. because there is something wrong with their country now, and we need to change that, especially for the life of the poor lake us. but analysts and fact checking groups say he's also benefited from a campaign of misinformation misleading poses on social media present. his father's rule as a time of peace and prosperity. in fact, it was rife with corruption and human rights abuses in a nuggets number may be metal we know about his father's legacy. and though marcus junior has promised that he will change the price of electricity when he returns the government, the price of good to inform you that marco's junior is able to limit scrutiny by avoiding media, his campaigns, unfriendly, accessories press conferences and campaign events are tightly controlled he also limits his appearances at interviews and debates. his message to filipino voters is

one of unity urging them to move on from the past. simple but ambiguous. he hasn't offered anything concrete to us in terms of plans and programs and policies for us to even make an educated speculation of what his administration might be. but the irony is there like the being journal. and the reason why it's very dangerous is because of the past that, that he carry snow and that's the past of martial law and dictatorship. the results of monday's election will have a huge impact on the future of the philippines. florence lee al jazeera manila that's coded jamaila alan dugan now who reports on how the roman catholic church could influence the vote. it may seem like a typical sunday in the country considering the last bastion of catholicism in asia

. but prayers have never been more earnest. what in, over the last few months, the hierarchy of the roman catholic church has strongly campaigned for the presidential run of the leader of the opposition. lenny labrador, who also happens to be the country's vice president. but even in a country where more than 85 percent of filipinos or catholics, it remains to be seen whether this endorsement will be enough to make her when i go to it with another enough that i pray will be god's. well, to finally have someone who will help poor filipinos teachers in this public school, they are confident that preparations for this to be turned into voting. we since will be ready by monday morning. we apply them for them and which is an awful lot of our cool time now is at 10 am and finishes at 11 am. the material will follow

a decree or make an announcement. so we saw the on july, the 25th. so this happened when he dissolved the superior judicial council. and then he's been progressively dissolving on his, his was reforming stage institutions, but consolidating power more and more in his own hands. yes, i can executive power. he's taking the power and also judicial power, but he's sort of big blockage to being an absolute president all political policies because political policies have come together. they have held the plenary session a virtual parliament session, and that's when he dissolved parliament to officially. but political parties are still part of a movement calling itself citizens against truth. and then we also have the most fall rights movement to the popular the story and policy that all again written

against side and railing against his decisions. so there's still quite a lot of opposition that he needs to overcome. so what we expect is that he will dissolve political policies. but people today are actually calling for 100 percent presidential regime. israeli forces have righted a palestinian village in the occupied west bank. it's the home town of 2 palestinian men suspected of killing 3 israelis and essential city of land. the 19 and 20 year olds were detained earlier following a man loan stopped thursday's attack. stephanie deca has more from west jerusalem on the suspects rest. it was an extensive man hunter, they were found close to the city of aladdin. a forest area is ready, police are releasing video where you could see them, some sort of telling them to come out. and then also there's one video which is a questioning of one of them asking their names as saying who he's with and what

they did. and they said that they basically hit some people in a lad. it's not the 1st time that this kind of an attack has been carried out in an israeli city. there's been 6 or 7 of them over the last couple of months. it is also putting huge pressure here on what is already a fractures, coalition government. the assessment has been these were 2 of you know, young men who are operating, working in israel illegally in the city of ally. they were from the occupied west bank, close to jeanine, and as you mentioned there, so there is now also a spotlight in a clamping down on the illegal workers, but illegal palestinian workers who cross into israel. and also the assessment from these really internal security forces is that these kinds of attacks, as we've seen also in the past until i've even becerra other areas are carried out by individuals which make them a far more difficult to prevent. so that's a concern. certainly moving forward, also an assessment from them saying that they did perhaps expect these kinds of
