. plus the u.n. says authorities in chile are guilty of serious human rights violations for the treatment of protesters people taken to the streets again demanding changes from the government and investigations into police behavior. i'm nick spicer thanks for joining us tens of thousands of people have gathered in rome to protest against the divisive rhetoric of far right lederman tayo salvini and his anti immigrant league party the movement started just a month ago as a flash mob participants adopted the name sardines as they aim to fill public squares as tightly as little fish tucked into tin cans. many say it's a youth led movement but people of all ages showed up in rome on saturday. they're

calling for more humanity and less racism in italian politics it's only been a month since the sardine movement was spawned but this weekend tens of thousands assembled from around the country they gathered in piazza sanjeev ani a traditional rallying spot for leftwing demonstrations. that's what i meant to sort of alluding to we certainly have values much closer to the left than to the right but i believe that at this stage with the supremacist populist front so powerful and impetuous the progressive front is much more necessary than the left front see stuff you could see. that concern widespread support for this man salvini right wing populist leader of the league currently italy's biggest political party they may win a historic victory in regional elections next month. because then you need it it's

not being against slovenia suppressant. vini to the leak to any other force which behaves unacceptably and he says violent language i say no. and that us weiser danes were bond to say no and to start saying yes again. they're also singing our shout out singing bella chao an old partisan song. that's now the anthem of italian anti fascism. fairly or i spoke with roma based journalist seem a good joke about the sardine movement i asked her whether it might develop from a street level protest into a political force in government. well the difference perhaps between this movement and the 5 star movement is that it's not about populists ideas and there's no leader as such a in the way that the 5 star movement had bet big really oh the comedian turned

politician. so in that sense it's different and this very categorically they don't want any representation of any political party no banners no flags of any party is allowed at any of these gatherings but i think a lot of political observers as well looking at this and wondering well this actually resulted anything is is what you watch as well i mean is it going to be a political party as such and i think the key test will be in the regional election that is expected next month and that's of the region of a 1000000 romagna where below nya is located the 1st spot where we saw this gathering created this election is going to be watched because it may lead romana is technically a very left leaning a region it is all read and to see who wait cheney just towards the far right party of the lead now that's what mateo's albini has been campaigning for and he successfully did that in the regional area in the center which we saw in

elections earlier this year changed towards the center right party so i think that's we're going to see whether it's just about a gathering in pots or is it going to translate into votes. a sudanese court has sentenced the country's ousted president omar al bashir to 2 years in detention after convicting him of corruption charges he'll be held in a correctional center for the elderly because he's over 70 the former dictator was ousted in april and still faces legal questions about the civil uprising that preceded his ouster more than 250 people were killed them bashir is also wanted by the international criminal court in the hague for crimes against humanity. i was there a 2 year sentence for a dictator isn't enough for them to call for justice and blood for blood continue. they've seen the man who ruled sadam for

a generation imprisoned but they want to see him charged with more crimes. that. we've had these are probably supposed to the gallows directly and they're trying him on charges of corruption we don't care about the money we care about the marches and the crimes committed in darfur in south sudan we have no interest in these charges. prosecutors say bashir hid millions of dollars worth of foreign currency in grain sacks at his home he claims it was given to him by the saudi crown prince. money laundering and corruption convictions will now see him detained for 2 years but that doesn't come close to satisfying the demands for justice by many who claim to have suffered under the shias rule. their revolution they say is far from over. time now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. 6 days after the deadly eruption a volcano what cari new zealand's authorities are searching for the last 2 missing

climate summit in madrid as talks appear to have stalled and activists fear there will be no significant deal. protesters at the conference want more action on climate change the meeting was supposed to end on friday but disagreement among participants means it's now dragging on into saturday for the past 2 weeks representatives have been trying to agree on a new emissions targets in line with crucial 2020 deadlines they were set by the landmark paris agreement on greenhouse gases and global warming. our correspondents car is in madrid for us and joins me now sonia has the summit failed. well i think it's kind of uncertain at this stage where the delegates will really stay at the table till they have an accord or whether they will walk away without an agreement not only at a press briefing the chilean presidency off the summit was insistent that we'll get an agreement today that remains to be seen what kind of an agreement that would be

and when it will come through however many campaign groups here in n.g.o.s who have really fired on the pressure on political leaders here in recent weeks to concrete action they are already angry and frustrated some of said the summit has already failed in its overarching goal of getting countries especially the big to commit to a mission scots through to cut their carbon emissions which they say is absolutely critical if the world is to avoid critical levels and what are some of the biggest obstacles holding up a decision here. well there are huge divergences between countries on a number of issues now this is you know when it comes to climate finance mitigation adaptation transfer of technology to developing nations now there are some observers have spoken to have seen some recent draft statements from the summit and they have called it completely weak they say they lack it lacks the kind of commitments that are needed to kind of inject momentum into the faltering process some campaigners have spoken to here are saying you know that they're outraged at

what they're saying is a total disconnect between what the science is saying about rising temperatures what millions of climate protesters around the world are calling for and what these negotiations here are actually delivering. kind of divergence of opinion and analysis and indecision still possible to think. very difficult to say you know i mean there's a lot of wrangling right now going on and very deep technical issues one of them is one how to structure global carbon markets how to deal with all credits with the kyoto regime another major stumbling block is how to compensate countries that are affected or at that really reeling from climate change impacts which cannot be prevented or adapted to so i think these talks are still bogged down in very kind of complicated tricky issues there's a lot of political wrangling and there's a lot of accusations flying around that the big polluters especially are kind of blocking progress and they're not the only watching out for the national interest
