security forces in iran have confronted some of the thousands of people who traveled to the grave of massa. mimi, i protested, have been mocking 40 days since her death, but 22 year old died. walton, the cost of the so called morality police for violating strict dress code of head for head coverings. thousands of gathered, the systemic tree, and north western iran were beany, has been buried. they will had chanting women, life freedom and death to the dictates of death as sparks protest across iran and around the world. that's bringing doors of jibari. she's joining us live from ron and also what more do we know about what sounds like quite a volatile situation. the great site of masa. mimi. yes, we saw earlier on wednesday, people making their way to i cheese cemetery in the city of suck, as in curtis on province, and we saw them chanting a number of slogans. and then what transpired hours later was apparently the

security forces fought with some of those demonstrators. we understand, according to semi official news agencies, there around $10000.00 people had gathered at the cemetery. and that the scuffles broke out between the 2 sides upon the people leaving the cemetery. there were there of course, to pay their respects and remember mess so many who died in police custody on september 16th. what we do understand now is since the fighting broke up between the 2 sides, that according to officials in that province, the internet has been restricted and cut off as a result of the security situation. the protests that we saw in curtis and we're not limited to that province. we saw a number of other demonstrations taking place in and around the country in universities, mainly. and we sought 2 universities in the capital to her on where police security forces, how to use your gas to disperse demonstrate, or that is

a scene that we've seen on the past few days on a regular basis. the university students demonstrating against the government. but this is the 1st incident that we've seen that the police security forces use here, got the 1st of demonstrators at universities. we also have seen footage from that to her on grand bazaar over the past hour where people have gathered again, chanting slogans against the government. and that situation is developing an unfolding as we speak. and just in the area that we're, we are around us, we're hearing people forming basically do carrying out how to protest by honking their car horns. there is a sound, the horn car horns that we've been hearing over the house are continuously. this is a form of protests that people have been doing instead of coming out on the streets to show their discontent at the current situation. so the current environment is certainly tense that we understand that in the coming hours we're not likely to get

much more information from the curtis sam province where those scuffles broke out. but hopefully we'll hear more about what is taking place in and around the country lately. it sounds like there are many areas inter on to be keeping an eye on over the coming out of so many thanks for bringing upstate with the latest look 11 and now where hundreds of refugees have been crossing the border as they returned to syria. lebanese officials say 751, syrians have been voluntarily repatriated, but rights groups are concerned about the safety. then a harder reports from also in lebanon. they're leaving behind a life in exile. crossing the border back into syria. lebanon is where hundreds of thousands of syrians escaped to during the war. there is mixed feelings and a lot of uncertainty. some don't have homes, nor jobs. with many say it's dire economic conditions that are driving them back.

because i guess it is better to die there than to die here. the situation is difficult here. i can't even afford bread for my children. it will be the same there. at least there we can find a place to be very the repatriation process is being organized by the government in lebanon and syria. they insist this is voluntary. but right group say it lacks transparency and have documented cases of return needs facing abuse back home . even after receiving security clearance, they also point to policies by the lebanese government that makes life difficult for refugees. between 80 to 90 percent of syrian refugees and lebanon don't have legal residency in the country, which means that they're subject to arrest and deportation. at the same time, you have politicians from across the political spectrum and up and on really cropping up as n a. so big and hateful rhetoric towards refugees,

lebanon says it can no longer cope with so many refugees. and officials have gone as far as to accuse the international community of not wanting syrians to return to their country. they believe refusing to redirect a to syria is a way to put more political pressure on damascus later in the seas that are a very limited number of political refugees. we can stubs or a partridge ation process because of the you and hcr should settle them. in the 3rd country, the u. n. refugee agency says it is not facilitating the return of refugees at this stage. as syria is still not safe for them. it seems many syrians feel the same since 2016, the us has verified nearly 80000 have returned and less than 3000 have signed up for repass ration in recent weeks. that's a small number. those who don't return are from former strongholds of the opposition in syria and could face persecution in pro government areas. and many

now live in fear as lebanese authorities say this voluntary repatriation process is only beginning. then there are also sita, ourselves northern lebanon. that l abdul ghani is head of the syrian network for human rights. he says that refugees returns as syria amounts to st. kidnapping, lebanese government, or the total government, or any government. when they say this voluntarily, this is actually a joke, actually, because this refugees or other human rights, organizational, or anyone. we don't know this refrigerators. if there is a warrant against him or not, no one is no actually sol. suddenly he might be or less because he's sick asylum. this is actually the mentality if you think asylum, you are against that edgy. and then jim told me too many refrigerator, who has been back, not as a refrigerator, but also from the i t p 's area. so actually, syria is the still not safe because of what the fridge is. we're going to save and

that for sure why we are think that because this is the environment, the atrocities violation is still going on against that. it hadn't actually, this is all considered to be a force return actually. otherwise the cities will not going to return because they are aware about what they're going to face when they be, when they've been back. and the how much the best centers of those who have been out of the we have 7 cd and we have 7000000 cd and the different ages of approximately just 6 percent who is returned to syria in spite of the all the circumstances in mainly in the neighbor, a neighbor countries. hi francis has left the family of murdered out there, a gentle assuring abu act in vatican city. a special memorial mass is that to be held to the palestinian american in the coming hours, showing with talk to it and shot dead by israeli forces while on assignment and the

occupied west bank in may. stephanie deca has more from the vatican city, passed by the family. the family that is here is tony terean's brother, his 2 daughters and his wife. the pope, passed by tony, also held out a picture of shitty and that he blasted and move past the family. they also met with cards and paddling and who is the essentially the secretary of state of the holy c cardinal sunday with the vatican diplomat. so of course, significant symbolic surely, hugely for you know, a catholic family. you know, it's considering what happened to me, but i was talking to leno, one of the shootings. nita's the family has been very tireless when it comes to pushing for justice, talking to various governments. also, the international criminal court knows, of course, here at the vatican, interest said, you know, we are hugely appreciative of the words and the support that we're getting from,

you know, religious figures and diplomats, and politicians said, but what we really need is action and words and that really comes down to justice. that means bringing the child, the soldier who shot should be in the country. and to justice. of course we know the americans and israelis following that carried out an investigation saying that it was highly likely that it wasn't. israeli soldiers killed her, but that it wasn't a criminal act. and therefore there will be no criminal prosecution or investigation, hence no justice. so this is something that the family continues to push for french present. manual micron is holding talks with german chancellor sholtes and to lead is hoping to resolve differences on policy. france and germany have clashed over europe's position on energy defense and the war in ukraine. shamella barra says france and germany and no longer as close as they once used to be the used to see i to i, when it comes to the major issues in, in europe to the point where 20 years ago they established the franco german

council, a joint cabinet meeting where they would meet on a regular basis. it was, it was always sending the positive message about 2 countries determined to move forward together. they knew what they want to do and they knew exactly what they want to achieve. except that this time, things seem to be changing, and this is why the french are very skeptical. worried about what could happen in the future. they saw that the german center, while shoals is moving towards the east with his trip upcoming trip to china. the french were hoping to see president manuel macro, traveling with them to show that the remains united in its bush to ask the chinese to redefine what they want to achieve as far as europe is concerned. but it was the fall out of the, what's an invasion of the crate, the has completely changed the dynamics of what's happening in europe. and this is where the french opry must concern. just to give you an idea about the divide,

which is growing up between the 2 nations. when the germans decided to put a $100000000000.00 to modernize the military. the said that they were going to buy a $35.00 fighter just from the americans and also to acquire an anti anti besides system from the, the americans and these rally and from german or companies. the 1st said why, when we have the scarf, which is a next generation fighter jets built by europeans with the aim to take over the raphael, and saw that the french feel like the germans as true a want from now onwards to act on their own. he okay, is nearly to where she cynic has been put at asked at the house of commons and his fast prime minister's questions. they will either kiss donna press and act on the way appointment of swell a brother, man. as secretary, she'd resigned every day security breach of 6 days earlier. well, tom or keith seneca making a grubby deal with her. the cynic says, all has been forgiven the home search. we made an error of judgement,

but she recognized that she raised the matter and she accepted half mistakes and that's why that's why i would like to to welcome back into a united cabinet that brings it to the heart of government. and let me tell you mister speaker, will the home sit through be focused on? she'll be focused on cracking down on criminals and defending our border. the po, to you, hope of it remain soft on crime and in favor of unlimited immigration. and his summons live 1st in london and under it looked like where she cynic was doing quite well passing those questions from the opposition leader and any day yes, he did really are the party will be happy with his performance. he was comparative . he did make quite a few points and struck a few blows,

but he came into some bruising treatment of from care. star marquez drama was making the point about this. so the whole fuss about bravo, mum. and he was making the point that the opposition feel that there was a deal done between brahman and sumac for her to stand down or not oppose him. also the e r g, which is the electoral, the european reform group a right wing part of the party and quite powerful within a really effectively the suggestion is a rabbit round to pressure him and he went with them ready to appease the right wing of the party he trying to be all inclusive, so it was a difficult want to start with. he handled it, but he certainly didn't win the point. and this is what kiersten went on to say. as i knew, tory at the top but was always with them. party 1st country,

2nd yet i did, i miss downing street. he also admitted what the whole country knows, the tories of crush the economy. and now somebody has to pay for their math dharma . kept coming back at the prime minister saying that he, oh he would, he was not defending the people who are struggling in the u. k. he again, the premier said, i always protect the most vulnerable in, you know, in a situation where it was difficult, decisions are going to be made on the economy. they would be protected, but then again kissed armor came back and also hits him on another point which was about a leak video of him at a garden party were soon i said quite clearly that he had more or less boasting that he had to take money away from deprived areas and given the money to

areas that were better off. so there was a continued attack on him for being rich as well. and for the controversy about his wife, who's even rich, richer than he is, a multi millionaire. she had not paid that taxes into the u. k. a firm, lots of money and overseas. that's quite legal, but on a moral point. not good. and she to house pay buquet tax ever since that controversy a while back. but nevertheless, there was some damage done by the league leader of the labor opposition, and they are calling for an inquiry about the home secretaries re appointment. okay . and with them and bring it all the latest from the days events there in western thanks bye much. so has hair on al jazeera devastation and bangladesh like learned said, trying knocks out power leaves thousands without homes and lights camera connection

$59.00 men. country is amongst only 6 in the world. well women make up at least half of parliament, globally, only 26 percent of elected politicians, a women a u. s. midterm elections are fast approaching a few key races could determine which party controls the senate. one is in the state of pennsylvania where 2 candidates went head to head in a tv debate. i was, there's kristen silly me was that i read 47 studios in harrisburg, in the 1st and only pennsylvania senate debate. the key question was whether democrat, john fatter men was up to the job or after suffering a stroke more than 5 months ago. and you may notice these large monitors that are behind us. this is part of our closed captioning system. and despite seeing the questions in writing, the man once considered the candidate to beat at times struggle to make his point here on raising the minimum wage. that's, that's the most american bargain. that if you work full time,

you should be able to live in dignity as well. true. and i believe they haven't have any business as being being oh, you can have businesses being subsidized by not paying and individuals that just simply can't have to pay their own way money. republican man at ours has been trying to capitalize on growing concerns about the economy. he's not released cognizant of the real challenges of business owners who got the balance that with employees. thankfully, we have a solution at john, you didn't answer the question, you can't put businesses out of a commission in order to pay more wages because they won't be in the wages will go to 0 regardless of their performance, whether it was restoring the right to an abortion on a national level for democrats, or rising crime for republicans. both candidates largely stuck to their campaign talking points. pennsylvania embodies the political tug of war in this country between democrats and republicans. donald trump won the presidential election here

in 2016 joe biden in 2020. and in this year senate race both candidates are sticking closely to their party platforms, while at the same time attempting to show that they're more pennsylvania and less washington d. c. it's a contest of personalities. political scientists, sarah needler has been following the race. they're both running as political outsiders. right? no one wants to be part of the, the washington establishment or, or, you know, government in washington. inflation is weighing heavy on pennsylvania voters. i'll think anyone has gone to a grocery store and bought some eggs or milk or anything like that and found out how much you know there of increase for some party platform is more important than debate performance. it turns into an argument that's not in my opinion, won't help me make a decision. it just turns me off and pennsylvania voters with so few senate races and serious contention could very well determine which party controls in the senate
