situation has been going on for a long time, but there is some new regions in this situation. the state of c, l, c h, which is going on in 20 provinces. so now the military is in charge and they are organizing military operation against our group, including the political was responsible to land incidents in to it. so the main thing is to say that the call there call i'm group, is made, the competence are coming from and the lender as community and the yeah, i get to really just who are keep by in my community. i see them that their demands are vast. but still they speak about an issue,

so i'm done this figure about discrimination. but mentally, it's mostly about issues and the problem between go communities to the philippines now, where presidential front, when our ferdinand macos junior, has promised to bridge the divide between all filipinos and unofficial tally shows the son of the controversial former leader with a wide lead over his nearest survival joined slow reports from manila. ha. protestors gather outside the election commission building to protest against what they say are voting irregularities. some people were unable to vote after at least a $1800.00 vote counting machines. malfunctioned during national elections on monday, less than 2 percent of the total number of machines are using the home. and we are here because we have seen how sloppy the election commission to work is they had to

be used to prepare for this election, but they are competent. they took away that i thought filipinos the board for what they won. the protesters were soon pushed back by police with water cannon and swat teams on standby. for heavy pushback has long been hallmark of the outgoing administration incumbent president, rodrigo deterred they had little tolerance for descent or criticism. i know ferdinand marco's junior, whose late father ruled the country for 2 decades and was often described as a dictator, is on cause to win a landslide victory. and with to turn days, daughter sara set to become the vice president. many are concerned, their civil liberties may shrink further. analysts say the return to par of the marco's family is the result of decades of rebranding. boosted in recent years through social media campaigns, often with misleading information. studies have shown that the marcos campaign in

the margaret family has usually invested in this machinery. and i think if they're going to be the next administration that this is going to be a lean and mean propaganda spewing machine. he says, the strategy may not only help them win power, but keep it. for marcus, the supporters gathered outside his campaign headquarters the day after the polls. those concerns were far from their minds as their candidate heads for victory with an unassailable margin. florence lea al jazeera manila, and jimmy lind again has more on protests that turn violent in other regions. the breaking down of more than 1800 boat counting machines, was actually not the only thing that people here were complaining about, particularly those supporting vice president. lenny red or there were also reports of violence, an electoral related violence in the southern region of mindanao. just earlier

today, there was a stand off between 2 warring political clans from the town boutique. and they tried to physically take the ballads away that was under the control of the provincial government and the commission on the elections. now that has scaled down the bit, but there were at least 15 electoral violence recorded across the mid and our region just yesterday up until today and according to officials, at least 6 people have already been killed. no, we are in manila, in downtown manila, just behind me is the commission on elections headquarters where for nearly all day to the there were several groups that were protesting really mostly from the leader of the opposition's campaign groups and supporters asking commission and election officials to come down and face them in person and answer questions over irregularities julia during election day martez veto his an editor at launch for the media company wrap. lo, she says many fear macos presidency will erode democracy in the philippines. as

we've seen during the election campaign, he has the was the least open among the candidates who did not grant media interviews except to those who considered friendly. he undermined the mainstream and independent media by bringing along the score 30 of bloggers out to the campaign. he evaded mass wester, us. so we foresee that when he becomes president, it will be a secret, the office of the president. and he will continued that this information that he started way back many years ago when you ran for vice president in laws. let's remember that the fair, the current president, waive the way for a leader who will abide by and all the plots label with there. this part that when he campaign for president and he became president, use a lot of this information and we saw that this some of these were state sponsored.

so it's easy for the success or the point being you with this erosion of democracy because the parent asked me to wait. so we see this information we see a weakening of institutions. and thirdly, our standard history textbooks do not thoroughly discuss marcia law and the abuses of the dictatorship. so it's very, very sad that when mark was, become sits down as president on june 30th, we may even lot lose our history. so this is a battle for our future as well as where our pass shall anchors. military has been ordered to shoot any one seen to be damaging public property. it follows a night of unrest where at least 7 people were killed after a nationwide curfew is ignored. by many police say 8 people died in the demonstrations of violence on monday, prompted prime minister by hinder roger pack said to resign me now fernandez has more from the capital columbia. there's been

a curfew clamped down since i last evening when the tensions of flared up. and this has meant that while there are many people on the roads there, in fact people looking around at scenes like that, you see over my shoulder 3 burning buses and one behind that as well. so a total of 4 other likelihood of people getting into clashes and things like that. his east are completely r as because you have not just the police, but also members of the 3 armed forces being called out by the president. in fact, on our way to these ears, we've seen the air force, the navy and the army deployed at checkpoints, literally are sort of stopping where he goes, checking, who's going around in them and all of that. so these have also kept control on the tensions plus that sort of initial flare up that confrontation between those 2

sides, the supporters of prime minister, mind the roger boxer, and the protest as who had been calling for his the president of the government's resignation has now ease, so things relatively calm in colombo and in other parts of the country from what we're hearing the mayor of mary paul says at least a 100 civilian men remain trapped in the still works besieged by russian forces. ukrainian official said that we can, that all women and children, any elderly, had been rescued, had been charged like intense russian attacks, along with hundreds of soldiers. the using their refusing rather to surrender, saying they will fight to the end. and at least one person has been killed in 5 others injured during rush and shelling of ukraine, southern port city of odessa. the ukrainian military says, shopping center and warehouse were a hit that has faced product bombardment. the city was largely spared in the 1st

has more from and near the eastern ukrainian city of slow the ants. it follows on from what we know the russians stated aims are, they say they want to take the east and the south effectively land locking ukraine . those strikes on the desk have injured a number of civilians. now there's some debate about the tactics. the russians are using where the v off from s frightful long range missiles lace thought that they prefer to use. long range missiles guided missiles as a tactic because it saves them, saves the aircraft from anti aircraft fire. and the russians would want to want to concentrate on that strategic port, city of a desa to effectively landlocked ukraine. they already have mario polo though. they're still fight holding that metal looks like they have no land bridge from russian control territory in the east. and they have mario poles and it connects to them now to crimea, which the antics in 2014 now in the east here in the governor of the has said that

some serious battles taking place around the village of bill harris go with dozens died earlier after school was struck and people were sheltering them, but the battles continue around towns and villages here in the east. but many people have already left the population of the cities. tons of villages have decreased because people don't want to be on the front lines. still ahead on al jazeera, hoping to change the political landscape leaders of lebanon's anti government movement. kate verified the ballad and bob, we hold lending by banks to satellite, plunging currency. but business leaders have a great morning. ah, the journey has begun the before world copies on its way to the castle book, your travel package today. there are 2 areas are very wet weather coming up in

not have extreme strength, but he's getting increasingly windy along that coast. and the rain, of course, is going to be increasingly heavy. but by thursday we can't identify. nevertheless, the rain is still there, the form of big showers in bangladesh. cats are official ally of the journey full of struggles full of pleasant. if we winterly look at it in, what is it to name? lot of the community about, i mean, that would be an intimate look at life in cuba. ill work, a mom there with the got a cable that, that the government, the media, my cuba on al jazeera. ah

ah, you're watching ology 0 live from doha. reminder of our top stories gunmen have killed at least 70 people in separate attacks in eastern democratic republic of congo. villages were re, did, he need to re province where the government says it's combating groups. families with control of gold, mice. in the philippines presidential front runner for jam office junior, has promised to bridge a divide between all filipinos and an official tally shows. he has a wide lead over his nearest bible election commission promised to audit the results of 70 voting precincts. after allegations of election from that would be $740.00 creases and in ukraine, the mayor of merrier poll says at least $100.00 civilians, men remained in the still works besieged by russian forces. they've been trapped by intense attacks, along with hundreds of soldiers refusing to surrender,

saying they will fight to the ends on juris his former president has pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and weapons charges in a new york court. one, orlando, have mandate, was arrested at his home in honduras in february, just weeks after his 2nd term in office ended. he was extradited to the u. s. last month and speak to a gable. it is on those in new york city for is tell us about what else happened in court today. new york came was very fast arraignment, lasted less than 15 minutes, one or lender. hernandez was led into the court wearing a blue jail jump suit and kind of shirt if you will. he was led into court by 3 court security officials, u. s. marshals and the judge said, how do you plead and he's simply not guilty through a translator that was sitting next to him the whole time. now this and then it was over and then they adjourned to the judge and set the next court appearance for

september 28th and said that they hoped to call the trial by january of next year. the trial that is certainly potentially to be very delicious, because orlando want orlando hernandez is. lawyers have already said that they plan to fight this in court. they claim that he is innocent and being set up by drug traffickers that the government claims he was working hand in hand with. but u. s. federal prosecutors, they claim that hernandez was a key part of a major drug smuggling ring that brought hundreds of millions of dollars of cocaine into the united states. while he was president from 2014 until 2022 january of this year. and they say their words, he ran and narco state of honduras, so this will all potentially come out in a trial. now schedule, what happens if this goes to trial? what would be the significance of that?

the? well, one, orlando hernandez is a brother, has already been convicted of drug trafficking in the united states and is serving a life sentence year during his trial. the brothers trial, there was a lot of evidence that came out during that trial about how drug money was helping pay for presidential campaigns in honduras. now, if the former president himself goes to trial or then this is lawyers have said they plan to call. former president, brock obama, donald trump, and even current president joe biden to testify. no, that's not going to happen. none of those former presidents are current presence will testify this trial, but it gives you an idea about how the defense is going to try to make this very salacious and try to show how or one orlando hernandez was a close ally of the united states. that fight over so called drug war for many

years, and they're going to try to link this to the united states to kind of try to douse the credibility of prosecutors. you can already see it here outside the court. there about 3 dozen protesters here on during to say their families were victims of the drug war in honduras, and they say they want no justice and no sympathy for the former president. and some of the lawyers for the former president came out of the court house just a few minutes ago. they surrounded them and were chanting, no justice for your client know justice, put them in jail. so you get a sense that this will be a very tense trial and again, potentially quite salacious, given the former president close ties to the united states for so long. gabriel, thank you very much for that. gabriel is on the line for us in new york nights. mothers day in mexico and a somber time for families of the disappeared mothers from across the country on the streets of the capital to continue their campaign to find the missing children

. it's estimated $100000.00. lifting over 15 years more than 50000 bodies remain un identified in more cherries. many are victims of the drug war or criminal gang fighting the government for territorial control. let's go to money. buffalo, who's in mexico city, among the protests, is there. tell us about what's been happening and who these people who've been missing for so long are what may 10th does a, laura can mothers day here in mexico. it's also sort of become an unofficial remembrance day for missing persons here in the country. our at the center of the city on the main avenue of the mexican capital, we seen somewhere around 2000 and maybe more people that attended today. this, in other words, potentially 2000 or more mothers who are out here protesting that after years of searching they still haven't been able to find their children dead or alive. now

when we talk about these trouble, e statistics and who the people are that are missing these nearly 100000 people. these are the faces of some of the missing. we're talking about people from all walks of life, 100. not nearly 100000 people. this is a problem that really took off in 2005 between 2006 in 2009. coinciding with the administration, a former mexican president, philippe benton. and he, because they don't, and the beginning of the mexican war on drugs. again, people from all walks of life, some of the mothers that you're seeing out here are the mothers of victims of cartel violet. and some of them are mothers from central america looking for their children who went missing, trying to cross into the united states. really, people from all across mexico. and one thing that you'd really do here, a stated repeatedly from people that attend these events of remembrance for missing persons, is that they are all victims of impunity. because not only are many cases of missing persons here in mexico, not investigated,

mexican state and federal officials also have a history of course disappearances. so when you hear this sort of demands and what . ready people here are out here claiming and wanting from the government. they won the government to do more to put an end to this crisis of wars. disappearances is crisis of missing persons that effects nearly every corner of mexico. and is this public pressure having any meaningfully? wow. wow. so as this problem has been growing over the last few decades, so has public pressure on the government of the current president of mexico under this one? nope, is open. i thought made it a campaign promised to curb insecurity to really get a hold of the problem of force disappearances. but the argument that we hear from activists from human rights observers is that it hasn't been of pointing to record levels of violence, record levels of impunity. record levels of moore's disappearances in just the last 3 years. the 1st 3 years of the president's administration,

there have been 30000 recorded disappearances in the country. so again, this argument that there's another statistics bindy 2000 on identified bodies in more it's across across all of mexico, which is one of the things that you, you can't help but feel when you're out here at these sort of demonstrations with people are wanting answers from the government, wanting justice from the government, looking for their children to think that there are 52000 unidentified bodies sitting in more it's different parts of mexico. how many of those could be the sons or daughters of the women that are out here looking for their missing children? thank you very much for that minute. rapid reporting there live from mexico city. now separately demonstrate is in mexico have demanded justice for the increasing number of journalists being made. it to female reporters were shot dead in the city of vera cruz raising the total number of janice cale this year. $211.00, the state prosecutors promising that the investigation into an age is killings will

be exhaustive. now, voters in lebanon are preparing for elections on sunday, after more than 2 years of protest calling for a new government, as they know how to report some be vote. those wanting change to the ballot box face a difficult task. these squares were emptied of protesters months ago. a battle for change, one by the political establishment. now, the movement for a new lebanon that began and late 2019, has shifted its focus from the street to the ballot box. different coalitions born from the uprising are contesting the upcoming elections. many of the candidates are young and optimistic, but they know political change won't be easy to be that suffered for $31.00 option and the old kind of we need. we know that you need time to change. we want to go into the fundamentals to change from inside. yeah. they're up against

a sectarian base system of power sharing and leaders who are more powerful than the state politicians largely blame for the countries economic collect elections. although from the outside or the mac product, they're actually run by the regime itself. and the regime has proven to use different fraudulent tools to secure its when so from classical ism to violence, to repression and termination, and even manipulating vote counting which we saw the 2018 election. but those empowers still have supporters and they have been accused of using violence. in this incident, the opposition was prevented from launching its campaign in the electoral stronghold of the muslim she, our group has below and i'll be at the harlem. if the him, we accused the forces in charge of the region of being behind that and they are known to prevent any opposition activity in lebanon, carrion, and political divisions are deep and the opposition to was unable to unite to

contest the elections. this benefit, the political leadership, which also relies on an electoral law that in trenches pick terry and politics. for those wanting change, this battle is about building a strong civil and functioning states. but they are seen as politically immature and criticize for lacking organization. and failing to appeal to the masses in the last election, those campaigning for civil society in lebanon known as the change forces, 11 seat in the 128 member parliament. this time, they're expecting to gain a few more, but not enough to change the system, but for them, the election is a necessary battle in a long war center for their oceans either be route the government engine. bob, we has ordered banks to stop lending money to try and stop guaranteed evaluation present. denison non gaap blames bank for excessive loans and fulfilling the inflation rate of 66 percent. a new tax. and also currency transaction is also

being imposed. alley con fat. choose and emerging market economies face deny, robi, he says in barbers, new measures will negatively impact productivity. this is focus, policy making on those. it's not going to work at all. if you die diagnose the problem. i don't know how you deal with the problem. it's about ways to read money, printing multiple exchange rates, exchange rates, a few connected insiders can get, and the rest of the countries having to deal with, you know, the black market rate. so, you know, we were now in a very strong dollar except to post rouble from story as a wrecking ball and basically countries not pursuing all the dogs economics who had the dike or are about to get overwhelmed.

and i think a maybe was.
