a mobilized reservists and reinforced troops and ukraine. has led to violence in siberia. a man opened fire in a draft office, wounding an official. he was allegedly upset by his best friend being called up to fight. earlier in a conference call with reporters, the spokesman of the kremlin admitted that some people have been called up by mistake. let's go live out of moscow. i'll just hear us. mohammed vow is there, so it seems that the kremlin is admitting that mistakes have been made. what have they been saying? mama, this adrian, the kremlin, mentioned the the mistakes, but we did not have a detailed list of those mistakes. but it is understandable now understood that the, the local governors and the local communities have taken this set draft to decree to far instead of a partial mobilization, which usually meas, calling up reservists in the army. people who have been trained in the army who
6:03 pm
hath be receive some type of training whatsoever. instead of that, everyone in the state was rounded up in many places in some areas of the country and that you know, angled people across russia. so i mean, her, it seems that there was a lot of confusion on the part of the, the authorities that have been asked to implement this decision. and that's why mistakes were made. and people were fleeing the country because nobody was sure whether they were, it meant to be drafted or not. the criteria were not clear. some people who were already caught up, they were released and told them what they didn't meet the criteria. some people who, where it been looked for, and some people who left the country well thought they could come back, because they were not, they were not included. and some aware, already recruited,
6:04 pm
they were told that they can go, and it's a lot of confusion, as i said. and it takes time, it's taking time before the, the, the authorities in charge. no, exactly how to implement this directly in the right way. it, it's clear that my, that there is a lot of discontent about this, this mobilization. we've had protests there on the streets of moscow than this shooting in in siberia today at the draft office. what more do we know about that? yes, in siberia, a young man opened fire on a draft officer in protest of he's a friend being sent to the front, as you mentioned in your intro, but people here across a russia explosive him something in many ways, some with tears. and just, you know, rejection some with protest tried to set fire to draft centers. women in doug stand for a sauce, reportedly confronted policeman shouting. we know this is a,
6:05 pm
this is an evasion of another country. we're not blind. we know that we should have sent our loved ones to this set to his fighting. so there, there are many different ways of expressing anger and rejection of this draft decision and of the conflict itself the fighting in ukraine. a man, for instance, in re as on which is not far from moscow, tried to set himself on fire in protest of the draft. and the trend is growing and particularly made worse by the mistakes that the, the defense ministry has acknowledged. how serious robert val reporting live or from moscow mob at many thanks, and it at least 15 people have been killed in a school shooting in the russian city of is jeff's among them 11 children, a teachers and security class. several people have been injured. rational pharmacy, so that the gunman killed himself. the u. s. is wont russia that using nuclear weapons in ukraine would have catastrophic consequences that's up to russia's form
6:06 pm
. but as the pledge the regions annexed in separatist referendums in ukraine would have moscow's full protection without being held in for ukrainian regions occupied by russian forces. cave in its western allies, said the referendums are a sham, and that they will never recognize them. i'll just hear as hot abdul hamid reports . they for of voting. there's one more to go. before the polling closes. i will. what we are hearing is where the news that is coming from really across the front lines in those occupied areas, according to for example, the mayor of her soul or was up a reject, turned out is quite high. and the lowest in of the 3 of these 4 region is in separate does so far, 51 percent. and then it goes much higher in places like the where the pro ration separate is have been ruling since basically in 2014. now there
6:07 pm
is an issue, is that what do those figures represent? how many people do they really represent? considering that ever since 2014, you had a lot of civilians leaving those areas from don. yes and again. so you had more leaving a, the onset of this war in fed, in february. and then the same thing was upper region, her son in the upper region, really the russians control only half of that region and so on. they do nearly control it all, but there's a belt. the village villages of has been recaptured by the ukrainians over the past few months. so what does that represent in numbers? how many people actually voted is very difficult to find that at this stage i was example re, joe is our team over the last few days and they were
6:08 pm
a lot of people coming out coming out from cities like many doors, both the point of bird dang scully's comes up, a ridge are coming from lugens, and so we have these convoys of up to 50 cars showing up several times a day. so people were still trying to get out of there while the referendum is ongoing. italy appears to be on course for its 1st fall right, prime minister since world war 2. exit polls predict right when coalition led by georgia, maloney will take a majority of seats and parliament. final results were expected place her on monday . maloney's brothers of italy party is set to win most seats in the 400 seat law house, projected to be 118 with her right wing partners in the league, force italia at independence. they should secure, around $238.00 seats. the st left block, led by the democratic party is projected to get 78. the election had a record low turn out of 64 percent on 8 percent. from italy's last election,
6:09 pm
will ga maloney address jubilant supporters after it became clear that she'd one se soluble jamante. if we are called to govern and lead this nation, we will do it for every single italian with the goal to unite these people. because our biggest goal in life is to make sure that italians are finally proud again to fly our flag high with those civic life to rome. al jazeera stephanie deka. is there? steph, how are italians reacting to all of this? well, i think, yeah, her cool. there to unite people is interesting because she is quite a divisive character for sure. mar. support is. of course, i will tell you that this is been a long time coming. that a big changes are needed, particularly come see identity of italy, of italians. of course, the right wing platform that melanie and her partner's ran on that very mike, sort of anti immigrant calling for a naval blockade or so quite much more coal towards europe than the previous prime
6:10 pm
minister, matthew, that he was still the interim. apt to say until we have this new government in place and a lot of depression on the other side of people who do not support her. the last to a very worried about what's her, italy is going to look like the italian media today from across the board, calling it her story when, but also an earthquake in the countries politics match actually a word that another lady used yesterday from the not supporting maloney saying how worried she was about what could come. but again, as we've been talking to, unless they will tell you that in terms of the rhetoric, the difference of rhetoric and then when you're actually in government having to deal with real difficult issues that is grappling with at the moment when i have to wait and see quite how radical she she will or will not be if you say, but certainly it is something that is thinking in for italians and yes, certainly not united at the moment because this, when is seen as quite a divisive by change for actually if you will i'm 0,
6:11 pm
stephanie deca reporting live there from rome. steph. but he thinks, indeed. well, the electoral success of the brothers of italy is the latest and a series of electrical winds by the fall right in europe. earlier this month, the anti immigrant sweetened democrats went from a fringe group to becoming the largest 2nd up becoming the 2nd largest party and parliament in may. french presidential candidate marine le pen got the highest chair of the vote for far right candidates in that country's history. 2 months later, a party's number of seats and parliament went from 8 to 18. 9 after legislative elections in april, hungary as far right to right wing, rather prime minister, victor alba and won a 4th term. now, while he doesn't identify himself as far right, his government has been accused of suppressing free speech targeting migrants and the l. g. b t. community fearfulness exec till us is a professor of european politics of the university of sorry, he joined us now via skype, from guilford,
6:12 pm
or in the u. k. good to have you with us up, lisa. this much hand wringing in europe than about the election of a right wing coalition, lead probably by a far right, prime minister before right parties are and their ideology have been a part of the european political mainstream for, for at least 2 decades. now, i mean, is it the disaster that some would have us believe? well are from one point of view. it is, it is a disastrous result for a tally on politics. from another point of view, it's simply one more incident in arrange all the victories as you suggest that as well. in many european countries, the far right or uprise that took place sir some years ago is still going on. and while we thought we had it, let's say under control in europe are precisely as a result of the, of the recent pandemic. another moves by the more progressive forces of the political spectrum we see kind of persisting and also, ah,
6:13 pm
gaining some momentum in, in certain countries. france is a good example. you say that is gaining momentum though professor far right parties across europe have enjoyed some notable electoral successes as you say, but they've suffered notable defeats to in places like germany, norway, in slovenia. i mean, to what do you attribute the electoral success of the far right in some places and not others are you are a peer votes is shifting further to the right well, there are countries, pacifica circumstances. and of course, the, the longer the tradition of the far right in the country has been, obviously the more chances they have to compete than and gain visibility, but also significant victories. and there are other countries where opposition leaders or progressive part of these have managed to coalesce or, or challenge those far right part of using their own in their own fields. now the
6:14 pm
ongoing migration crisis that we have in the context of europe is certainly still making said the headlines. and therefore, this is the part of the rhetoric that the far i park is, are building on. now considering the fact that italy, eas, part of the south mediterranean, ah, area where my grants from north africa and the middle east are usually finding it way through europe. we know that this has been an issue quite prominent in the italian media, but also among voters. so george, i milani's message is not new to italian politics. it has been around for quite a bit of time. and we see we saw that with the success of the lega. one of the other sort of far right wing parties are in italy, which now did not do so well. but at the same time, ah maloney's message is not, is not something new for italian politics. so we need to contextualize this along
6:15 pm
the country circumstances. ok, the european parliament recently declared that hungary could no longer be considered a full democracy. will italians see the same erosion of the democratic rights as hungarians have on the bologna in the name of sovereignty defense, the natural family, christine values, certainly maloney's right. you said is one that you just described. and therefore, i think what the kind of the kind of policies that she will pursue in the next few months will try to at here to those values. however, let's not forget that italy is the ah, it's the 3rd largest country in europe in the european union. and therefore, i think maloney also being part of the coalition that you will probably lead or tried to lead will try to tone down yet mainstream because kind of approaches of this kinds of policies in order to be a little bit easier on the ears of,
6:16 pm
of the other european partners, victor, or, but on the other hand, had a different game and he's been there for 4 terms as you said, and he enjoys quite the larger support than melanie. melanie received only 20, about 25 percent of the vote. whereas victor albany keeps getting quite significant majority. these are in the electoral contests. really good to talk to you professor many thanks, dave for being with us except back to las, for in guilford. here with the news are from al jazeera still to come on, the program will take a look back at the life of the influential muslim scholar use of alcohol. with his died at the age of 90. 6, as dignitaries arrive in japan for the state funeral of former private assertions are, are bay. some people are angry over the cost. and it's brought the team in read a celebrating victory of a labor cup tennis tournament for the 1st time in their history.
6:17 pm
ah, columbia and venezuela are fully reopening that borders for trade. they were closed for nearly 7 years after venezuela accused. a colombian militia of attacking its soldiers in 2015 algiers. alexander, appear to report style from columbia's capital bog ultra venezuela's mean consulate in columbia. capital bogota, lies in ruins. an accidental fire in april. burn much of it. its walls covered in graffiti and overgrown weeds. it's a tangible symbol of a relationship gone sour since 2019. i'll dig that order. when columbus former president divan lucas refused to recognise nicholas my daughter as the president of venezuela after elections lucas had were fraudulent. but all that has changed with the election of columbus 1st left his president with them of pedro,
6:18 pm
who promised to restore relations. last month, my daughter enthusiastically received columbia's newly appointed ambassador, a meeting big laughed and hugged the columbian in voice as the neighbors should never have parted ways. it'll be, she had been back in her magazine. there are some 5000000 columbia and citizens that have been totally abandoned for years without possibility to renew a passport, an id. it was just stupid and inhumane. whatever the differences, it doesn't make sense to have no communication. the 2 countries have since announced a full reopening of their poorest 2000 kilometers long border for trade and called for the resumption of military collaboration in a region over run by criminal groups. but despite that many pledges m boastful announcement to restoring full diplomatic relations is easier said than done that the 2 countries remained deeply suspicious of one another. could elgar it?
6:19 pm
i think it will be a much more complex and long process than what people think. the 2 countries have deeper symmetries or if you look at trade, venezuela's industry is in shambles with the maduro regime. the most important things to show that they're not as isolated as they were employed while columbia had a lot to gain economically, but wants to avoid being seen as closing up to a less than democratic government with the arrival of venus. when an ambassador in columbia was a noticeable new to the fair and the countries of so far avoided addressing venezuela's ongoing political crisis. and the fate of the more than $2500000.00 refugees at columbia. but i left the agenda, makes no mention of security of migration of consulate services. venezuela's ambassador placencia has long denied the existence of a migratory crisis. but now that he's in bogota, he inevitably we'll have to recognize it and address it. but even with its many fits and starts, the fact that the 2 neighbors are talking again is welcome news for millions of
6:20 pm
colombians and been swelling on both sides of the border. we've been in limbo for years. but now, believe there is hope for a more stable future and alexander and peer to draw just not live from the town of co kuta which is on the columbia as well or border. i shall tell us more about this reopening shirley. and what it all means. yes. say there were still waiting for the ceremony to happen. it was supposed to have happened already more than an hour ago, but there was a last minute surprised with the announcement that the columbian presidents, gustavo pitts and a well participate in this ceremony. so we are here with a number of colleagues from coloma, minnesota, and internationally. waiting for this have a fatal to arrive, and we are here in the middle of this simone believe a bridge, one of the main bridges that connects the 2 countries. the idea here is that there
6:21 pm
will be a delegation from the coleman government and neither one from the venezuela government . they will meet here in the middle of the bridge. they will play the, the 2 countries national anthem say shake hands, insert of very symbolically reopen the border. there are a number of trucks waiting, filled with kind of go to cross again, which hasn't happened formally as you were saying since 2015 except for a few of very limited occasions. so obviously this means a lot. symbolically, it's sort of symbolically shows the end of this, the thin fear of this sort of cold war that has existed between columbia minutes for a number of years now. and also it means that the finally, as with the restart of trade, that, that at this area,
6:22 pm
the hope is that that will improve economically. and that there were also be a reduction of contraband corruption. and the control of this very porous border on part of a number of criminal groups that took advantage of the closing. what will this mean then, for the millions of venezuelan refugees in columbia and for the region as a whole that's unclear at this point. but obviously the expectation is that if businesses on both sides of the border can now buy raw materials or finish the materials on the other side that could this could help the economic situation and reduce the needs for a lot of people from a venezuela that's still going through a difficult economic and political situation to cross and to columbia and try to reach other regions of latin america has the as they've been doing since
6:23 pm
2015 and earlier, almost 7000000 of venezuela have less that their country and sought refuge across that in america, many of them are trying to reach the united states last month was that we saw record number of venezuela crossing did that re n jungle between columbia and panama to try and move north, throw words the united states. so the hope is that the, if this border becomes important, commercially again, and this was the biggest point of tray, of any border across latin america that could help that the situation at 10 years ago. busy or 12 years ago this border moved around $7000000000.00 us dollars a year where we were now down to around $300000000.00 that this year just to give you an idea. and the hope is that between now and the end of the year,
6:24 pm
that there could be enough movement of trade to reach around $1000000000.00 us dollars. and some people say that might be a bit optimistic. everybody understands that this will be gradual, but the hope is that at least from an economic point of view, the situation will get better for a lot of people who live millions of people that live along this region. al jazeera and i found the ramp here to reporting live for from caputo on the columbia venezuela border. cubans voted in favor of sweeping changes to family law, including allowing same sex couples to marry and adopt president miguel diaz canal says that the changes are necessary to guarantee the rights of all families. cubans voted in the referendum on sunday, monday marks 8 years since 43 students were kidnapped in mexico. their parents and human rights activists have been campaigning for justice ever since. i was there, as john holman reports from mexico city. oh, it's
6:25 pm
a case that for the last 8 years is reverberated across mexico. on a rainy night in the country, southwest 43 students were hulu buses taken away. never seen a guy with me of this man. then attorney general said a gang killed them in league with local police. he called that the historical truth . yet it wasn't. startling. regularities was soon found in the investigation. top. officials suspected of involvement remained untouched. mexican impunity had apparently struck again the student's parents and tens of thousands of others marched outraged with the case still went nowhere. now was the anniversary of the disappearance. his comes around again. things seemed to finally be moving bills calling for the 1st time this past august. the government back truth commission said this was a crime of the state with military police and government officials, all involved in the disappearances. benito, the ex attorney general,
6:26 pm
zeus murray. your crime was arrested, put in prison and is waiting tro, those complaining for justice. hope it's just the start. was your 90 of albany. well, he's a high level official, but in the end we know who was responsible for this, which in this case was former president enrique pin anita penny near those not been charged. but his administration's been accused by investigators of a cover up then this month for former general was arrested, met cuz human rights on the secretary said that he allegedly oversaw the killing and disappearance of the bodies of sick students with the needles thus huge. the armies long thought to have been involved in the crime, but before it seemed untouchable. now the question is, how much further is the government willing to go public? prosecutors of issued arrest warrants from $44.00 police officers and in total 20 military personnel in connection to the case law. will those warrants be served a lot? depends on that, especially as the army is
6:27 pm
a strong ally of the current mexican president and his men will lopez over the door . what's happened in previous administrations, in cases like this one, is that they've arrested a couple of former officials, but it's been more political posturing, point scoring than an attempt to really get to the bottom of things. and that's what the people who are camped here outside of the old attorney general's building . together with these posters, the disappeared students hoping will be different. this time. there will be a real, a time to get justice. the test of this government's commitment to justice is just beginning. officials have be arrest warrants, will they finish what they started? john homan out to cedar metzger city. we'll get a weather update next on the da's office so to come more protest and lovable as part of that discusses the countries. next budget i did with school action from a to metric knows of cricket in karachi,
6:28 pm
that's coming up with envy. a little over 20 minutes. ah hello, there was got in central america and the caribbean, where ian is undergoing rapid intensification as it moves towards weston cuba. now we have had hurricane warnings out for the very west evacuations underway. it is expected to be a very powerful storm, possibly even a major harrigan. by the time he makes landfall on tuesday with damaging winds, and we are expecting life threatening flooding with a potential for mudslides. that storm said stretching up to 4 meters. now it moves its way further, north, re strengthening possibly once again in the warm waters of the gulf of mexico. the model differ on where it's going to go. but regardless of that,
6:29 pm
florida is preparing for the worst. we are expecting some catastrophic coastal flooding from the storm surge. and as we move to south america, we've seen the worst of the wet weather affect the east coast of brazil and mass of storms rolling their wave to the north east. getting at wetter as well across more sensual areas. ecuador, still seeing some of those torrential downpours that have caused flooding for the south of this. it does get cooler for places like chile with some destructors snow on the andes, and it's going to get cooler as well for the north east of argent. tina, rio seeing some of that rain coming in at 25 degrees celsius on tuesday. actually weather ah, want you semitism is of evil under a labor government, it will not be tolerated in any form. what so ever. beneath the surface lies
6:30 pm
6:31 pm
ah, for endo, how about the usa from al jazeera, the headlines inside barea america has opened fire and an army draft office, wounding an official. he was reported to be upset at his best friend being called up to fight early up at a conference call with reporters. the spokesman of the kremlin admitted that some people have been called r. my mistake. italy appears on course for its 1st fall right. prime minister since the 2nd world war a right wing coalition, led by georgia, maloney is projected to take a majority of seats and parliament making her most likely candidate to lead the country. the british pound has fallen to an all time low against the u. s. dollar before partly recovering, it plunged nearly 5 percent as markets opened in asia. on monday, the drive comes as concerns growing over the u. k. economy after its due government
6:32 pm
unveiled major tax cuts. investors have been unnerved by the huge amount of money that the government is promising to borrow of fund that package. mark households, the chief economist and global strategist at 80 m investor services international. he joins us now live from london. before we get into the, the whys and wherefores mark, i just want to know whether you think this downward trend for the pound will continue. it recovered in slightly in european trade. but are we likely to see piracy with a dollar? do you think in the next few weeks again to be hovering round this level for a little while? what we've done in terms of re pricing the u. k. interest rate so much higher than a us dollar interest rate introduces a risk premium, which probably will attract people because as much as right interest rates have gone up are not still not very high. and we are on a basis where people will feel happier,
6:33 pm
that the risks are sufficiently priced in by that i think it's still going to be a big test. i know that this is partly to do with the hawkish ness of the, of the fed on the, the other side of the atlantic as far as interest rates are concerned. about one commentator i read today was arguing that the new chancellor in the u. k. committed a school boy error in revealing that he planned further tax cuts and his all some budgets before the end of the year of it. why would that have spooked the market? stick to any of the british government's plans for the economy? make any sense to you as an economist early been this 2 aspects to it. here we had a lot of the announcement for pre announcements, all the measures to try and come energy prices for stamp duty tax cars and proposal of other tax cuts. what we didn't know was how much, you know, how it was going to be funded when it was revealed on friday that it was basically
6:34 pm
all going to be about borrowing and no measures to save money elsewhere. suddenly people were thinking that it's an enormous increase in the country, which is already running a large budget deficit and a very substantial current account deficit. and that's really what investors and then brady are. yeah, i would agree with that commentator saying was a school boy error because there's only so much ripping out the rule, which is essentially what the trust government wants to do that you can do before people say, you know, you are what you're actually doing. you as much as i don't like to compare the u. k to turkey. there is an element here. are people looking at it and saying, well, what kind of economic policies are you actually running? what are the implications of the falling pound for the british economy? our interest rates likely to rise further faster, and what will that mean for consumers and businesses who are already struggling
6:35 pm
with the cost of living crisis earn? well, certainly the fall in the pound doesn't help things, or whatever measures has been taken to try and qual, inflation, particularly energy inflation probably are quite going to be heavily offset by the weakness of the pound or so. and you, people say, well, it should be an advantage for export as historically, and the u. k. has experienced a number of sterling crises over the years. there's never been a lot of benefit to the exporter. but for people who import goods, you know, and that means also for consumers. but c k in ports are about half of what it consumes. ready whether the food, raw materials or finished goods, or means it further increases in prices, so that inflation pressure is not going to go away. and it's to be hoped that the
6:36 pm
stimulus measures for the tax cuts does here start to simulate our business investment. but i'm not a 100 percent convinced simply because in the measures there's a lot of carrot and there's not enough stick. in other words, there's not enough to basically say, if you don't, then you will still continue to pay higher taxes. if you do, we'll give you a big tax break and that's really what's needed to stimulate investment. typically in this uncertain environment post breaks at, which is still, you know, it's, we haven't seen the dust settling from breaks it yet. really good to talk to mark many thanks to you for being with us. my gospel path from 80 m investor services international atlanta the head of iran's nuclear agency says that allegations his country breached international agreements are fabrications by israel. he spoke at the meeting of the un nuclear watchdog and viet up where the revival of the iran

6:39 pm
the international community that are on super program is for peaceful purposes and they have questions, mainly 3 sites that are undeclared, as nuclear facilities. the agency says they have found traces or particles of uranium, and that is what they're asking their radians about. iran says that those sites and the questions about those sites, those facilities have been answered long ago, but it is the agencies job if they get new information under the nonproliferation treaty and the safeguards agreement, any new information that comes their way, they're allowed to ask questions and the position iran is taking right now is saying we have already answered those questions. we're not going to revisit the issue over and over again. and they say, in order to be able to move forward to restore the 2015 nuclear deal known as the jcp that investigation, those investigations that are ongoing with the agency need to be closed. that's where things are at the moment the director general refer pro, see when he opened this today. during his remarks,

's. they are saying that they are receiving guarantees that their retirement salary as it is known will be increased by $33.00 times. and that retired soldiers will be exempted from income tax. and they're also saying that these guarantees will most likely be accepted by the people and then they will go

a protest rally held in soul. he got no stop, human rights repression stopped distortion reporting religious repression. the roiling controversy is far from the kind of respectful and reflective atmosphere. japan's embattled prime minister had hoped for the state funeral, and we've seen ki, she the climate in the polls. i mean, he's dropped 20 points, you know, an yell his negatives now exceed his positives. about 2 to one people are against shins, though. ave an extremely influential but divisive figure in life. so proving it seems in death. robert bride al jazeera tokyo, just ahead here on these are in sport. well, champions france suffer a set factor in that last branch before this year's friday pickup is with
