speaking ron paul this is the most more the right peaceful a rational way to express our political beliefs if they law activists just like me to run for office they need to pray the price later in the day the mood turned ugly as police turned water cannons on the protesters but 5 years after the umbrella movement began activists to celebrating their victory earlier this year in getting the extradition bill scrapped they remained as determined deserver to keep pressing their demands for democracy. zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe has been buried in his home village it follows weeks of wrangling between the government and his family over his final resting place the funeral was held at his birthplace the village of tama died in a single hospital earlier this month he was $95.00 he is a controversial figure many revered him as a freedom fighter who helped bring about zimbabwe's independence from britain yes

he's 37 year role as president was defined by brutal repression and economic chaos . the now see some of the other stories making news around the world frisch prime minister bars johnson has been referred to a police watchdog over allegations of corruption jaring his time as london mayor the investigation consonance he's links to a u.s. business woman whose companies were allegedly awarded state funding to. the urban climb been known as the french spiderman has been arrested after he scale of a high rise building in frankfurt and the rubbish is known for climbing some of the world's tallest structure as without safety equipment or permission police in the german city were waiting for him when he came down again. now polls have closed in afghanistan's presidential election with people voicing amid a wave of violence and concerns about legit. the last elections in 2014 were myatt

allegations of fraud and ended with the us stepping in to appoint a power sharing agreement peace talks between the taliban and the us collapsed earlier this month islamised group threaten to disrupt the election with violence and there have been several attacks across the country. they went to vote and ended up in hospital. joy after the polling station opened some voters came in and cast their votes and suddenly there was an explosion i don't remember what happened after that i got wounded. over here in kunduz in afghanistan's north as well as in kandahar in the south voters were left injured after attacks on polling stations votes are now being counted after a tense polling day marred by violence or threats of it from the taliban for many voters peace security and corruption of the most pressing concerns.

but that's look at iraq the heart. what i did man to the leader i voted for is that he provided security throughout the country. and also that he make peace with the taliban a long lasting peace. the 2 lead candidates each claim they are best suited to address the country's problems one of them is current president ashraf ghani. they will as. peace is the 1st demanded of our nation. and this election will give us the legitimacy we need to bring peace to this nation therefore to stand with. the other is up to the lab to the country's chief executive the 2 have been in an uneasy government of national unity since 2014 when they both claim victory in elections marred by fraud whoever wins this time will

have to find a way to deal with the taliban the or even possible to the taliban forces who have threatened this election process i would like to say as a citizen of this country and as a voter that threatening innocent people is not a demonstration of strength on your part. and that casualties among innocent civilians will not benefit you more than. after decades of war and misery and a number of fraudulent elections voters will be demanding bold action from the new president in a country that continues to face very difficult conditions. ok let's bring in our correspondents sundra pieces munchies reported extensively from afghanistan good to have he has andras so we have present ashraf ghani and his main rival abdullah abdullah saying the election was a success you've been watching very closely how did it go well there wasn't a major attack that was something that a lot of observers presumed would happen today we haven't seen yet but i would be

a little bit careful to give it you know any kind of stand this was a good election yet because we don't have to compete picture yet information is just trickling in and also f. we has as we have seen in other elections before authorities were kind of keen to suppress information if it came to attacks and civilian casualties so we don't have the complete picture yet ok so we don't have a clear picture but it's all about the 2014 election this compay these 2 polls in terms of security and organization what can you say at this point. well 2014 did see major attacks but again we only learned about it much later what we know right now is that they have been up to 70 attacks country white smaller explosions bomb blasts shoot outs and so that of course is a concern and the main difference that i pick up right now is the voter turnout you know in 2014 there was still a lot of enthusiasm and in the end close to 8000000 people cast their vote right

but today that doesn't seem to have happened because we saw a lot of empty ballot boxes by the time that polling centers were closing down and there was a slow trickle of people approaching polling centers especially in vola thai regions we don't know in what areas polling stations really stayed open throughout the day so that we always still need to learn and you know the government had said if we reached the benchmark of 4000000 that could be considered a success but some up service now say we could be glad if we had reached maybe a little over a 1000000 and that is quite telling that's that's telling indeed but sandra let's look at where things are in the country right now so you have talks between the taliban in the united states essentially collapsing that's just one thing in the context of it help us understand if this poll would make a difference it could make a difference if it would lead to a stable government the past 5 years haven't seen a stable government now the 2 main contenders see a honey and a deal are the main contenders now they were basically the heads of government they

couldn't succeed in really working together so if they could manage now then it could be considered a success because that remains to be seen we might go for a 2nd round of elections now with results trickling in there is the face that was see election complaints probably from both camps so that's again a very volatile time for afghanistan and it could potentially make things worse but also it could have the potential to make things just a little bit better right center paceman thank you for that. all strains all set to hit to the polls on sunday the early vote comes off the chancellor has a bust in kurtz's governing coalition with the right wing populus freedom collapsed in may the collapse was halted by a corruption scandal surrounding them as chancellor and the head of the freedom party hides. it was filmed in i have been offering public contracts in exchange for

and paint help from a woman posing as a russian oligarchs needs strength and resigned and the austrian government fell apart and as a bust in its was then i'll sit in the conference for years. in austria this is called. exley and i has good reason to give out lots of them on the campaign trail along with turquoise colored muffins she's running for the austrian people's party and will be on the winning side on sunday also because of this man sebastian courts. and if you take the l. here has a very direct honest and clear way of talking that you can understand he doesn't try to use the typical politician style he just says things that make sense to people like the thing at the for you because every since. it seems to be a winning tactic despite a number of scandals in the last months courts and his party have polled around 34 percent of the vote 12 points ahead of anyone else here's an example for that so

called clear speech. should be no scum scrubby our political direction is very clear we have ended 60 years of death policy we have reduced taxes step by step and we have a forceful strategy in the fight against illegal immigration. so with the winner all but decided the real question is who will be his coalition partner. on the weekend the streets of vienna were full with campaigners jockeying for the best possible position. there are several options courts could go back together with the scandal ridden old partner the right wing freedom party. the social democrats might also be interested. but possibly the most intriguing option is a coalition that involves the rising green party come in fine and of course be context eat anything we want to follow the will of the photos for you god in

austria the climate crisis has become one of the most important campaign issues on friday 30000 demonstrators participated in the so-called earth strike. still a coalition between greens and conservatives seems like a long shot. your families are voting we have our red lines when it comes to human rights and the environment and if the conservatives end up saying we can live with all of that bank rate we'd be happy. thoughts and. realistic is that this is well that's exactly the point we can't really imagine it right now and. that's why this time around the real suspense will come after austria's elections wins it by saying courts will have to form a viable coalition. some football now and 5 of the 6 saturday bundesliga games have been competed with by in munich surviving a big scare at part of one the bavarians one away title rivals lived with bait and
