Pacific waters of pullout are becoming a beacon of hope. And timely harding with sport saudi arabia. Football champions and while there defends his heavyweight boxing title with yet another devastating knockout to win his rematch with. Us. And we begin this hour in hong kong where polls have just closed in local elections the turnout has been the highest in the citys history more than 2800000 people thats nearly 70 percent of registered voters cast their ballots now more than 1000. 00 candidates are running for 452. 00 District Council seats of recorder of the councils are also part of a Large Committee that votes for hong kongs chief executive now this is the 1st election since the antigovernment protests began in june and is seen as a political tests for kerry lands government. In a moment well go live to rob a broad in hong kong 1st though hes got with this report. In a hong kong neighborhood hardest hit by battles between protesters and Police Voters in manchaca cast last minute ballots just moments before the polls closed on a record breaking day for hong kong elections the highest voter turnout ever after nearly 6 months of violent demonstrations the polling was seen as a way for voters to officially take sides in this deeply divided city of 7000000 back the probate candidates and Hong Kong Government or those who support greater democratic freedoms for hong kong in line with the protesters who have been fighting to push back on what they see as an increasing control for mainland china. He said that she needs a lot to hong kong the older generation whose 1st ability but the only generation hopes for change i think more people actually coming out to have a say in what they want rather than. Like some other countries cities that are leaving. Like china to decide what we want for hong kong its usually a sleepy election to select a low level local government positions but many woke up early to vote as there was concern that unrest could mean the polling could be cut short for the prodemocracy camp is about a vote of confidence on no confidence on the carrier government and on the excess use of police force against protesters but a probation camp there was say this is also a de facto referendum on the protests and the violence by 130 in the afternoon more voters had cast their ballots than the final count in the 2015 District Council election there was an uneasy calm during the few days leading up to the election just a week after some of the worst violence in these nearly 6 months of protests thats mainly because both sides view this election is critical to their cause. Funk kongs leader harry lam casting her vote recognize that. Time for the city and the importance of peaceful elections. Entered she has served 3 terms as a District Councillor hes vying for his 4th the prodemocracy candidate was brutally attacked earlier this month parts of his ears were bitten off howard. Can have a very strong and create. The beijing for it and also the International Community thats be home from people as they stand together trying to keep on the fight for freedom and democracy even though more people voted than ever before and this is a significant election much more still needs to be done to mend the divisions in hong kong. Aljazeera hong kong. Broad is live for us now in hong kong we just heard this is a record turnout when are we likely to start to see some of the results coming in. Absolutely stan within the next half hour or so we are expecting to get the 1st of the exit polls to give us an idea of what this election is likely to look at and then as with any election as we go through the early hours into the morning we will start to get the results of the last election 4 years ago it wasnt until about 6 hours or so after the close of polls that we really had the final look of these districts. District boards to find out the results of the election but as you mentioned there this has been setting records the Election Results the actual turnout figures we have from about an hour or so ago as you mentioned that some 69 percent of registered voters had voted which is Something Like 2800000 people but weve been looking at live feeds coming in from a couple of polling stations that were all closing their doors at 10 30 pm local time the allotted time for closing and a couple of the polling stations still had people outside that they seem to stay open for an extra couple of minutes just to allow those people to vote so we could be seeing and remember this is just a local election we could be seeing a turnout of Something Like well over 70 percent by the time the have the final voting figures just gives you a sense i think of how politicized how fired up this whole population is after all of this months of unrest rob just a local election but of course much more than that this year and people have been saying look its a litmus test its a its a referendum on kerry lamb beijing watching on as well and its also a chance isnt it rob for people who are not on the streets people we dont hear from for their voices to be heard to tell us a lot about the mood in hong kong and support for the protests in the pro or anti beijing sentiment. Absolutely and youll have people on both sides will be looking to see what they can gain from this the pro beijing camp will be saying that despite all the predictions that they have the most to lose and they do have 2 thirds of the seats and a lot of councillors will lose their seats way that they set that but they are looking for a moderate bloc that will have looked at the violence and dont want to be associated with it and well see the connections with this protein with the prodemocracy movement and stay with the probate gene camp thats what theyre hoping for but of course people in the pan democratic side will want this to be to send a message to the government here but also to the government in china that this is very much in support of this whole protest movement yes we have 2000000 people out on the streets voting with their feet if you like it makes a big difference when you have people going through a poll like this and actually seeing those numbers in an election like this across hong kong. Rob thank you now as you say half an hour until we see the 1st of those exit polls watching those very very closely thank you the people in guineabissau are voting as well to elect then next president many are hoping that sundays vote will end years of political instability in one of the worlds poorest countries president. Bush is seeking reelection after his 1st term was marred by infighting and accusations of corruption the house faces a strong opposition including 2 Prime Ministers that he dismissed during his 5 years in office we go live now to nicholas hike in the capital itself that says everything doesnt nicolas when you look at this this election 2 Prime Ministers that the president had sacked and now contesting this election against him and this is the 1st time that a president has been able to see out his term it tells us a lot about the political debate the divisions and the potential stability of the country doesnt. Thats right and in fact you know where im standing right now as were just a few 100 meters from the president ial palace thats just behind me just moments ago we saw west african soldiers are here part of a stabilizing force patrolling the streets to ensure that this is a peaceful election because theres been so many coups so Many Political assassination in as you mentioned this is the 1st peaceful transition of power still let me just show you what where people are voting this is the main polling station in the country in the capital this is where the president of getting. Voted this morning its under the shade of a mango tree and its outdoors this is to show how transparent the vote is taking place most of the people have voted the voted started early this morning at 7 oclock theres just a few hours left before the polling stopped there has been no major issues some of them open late one of the issues has been with the ink used here when someone voted to put their fingers in that ink seems to be coming off so they want to ensure here people that know no one is voting twice now the counting of the ballots thats here will take place this evening at 700 g. M. T. And theres a lot at stake here its the future of his country its the functioning of this country take a look at this report. People come to nurse clementina to talk about their aches and pains but there is something that keeps coming up in her consultations politics is making people anxious. And so she tells them theres only one way to deal with it its to vote in this president ial election. Its as if politicians forgot about us and what they do actually affects us once they come into office they completely forget about the people they are meant to represent. The santos is disappointed with the president as a mario vosh whos running for reelection he said he would put the country back to work instead elected officials squabbled threatening each other unable to pass laws or approve budgets the government stopped paying teachers and nurses some to us who was left without pay for 10 months her clinic has no Running Water and it had no electricity until the charity installed solar panels. To get treatment people come to a hospital run by the west african soldiers stationed here as part of a stabilizing force because of the political deadlock. Treatment and drugs are free this is an effort to win hearts and minds because president ial candidates have been critical of the presence of foreign soldiers in their country voters have 12 candidates to choose from each of them promising the end of the political deadlock that has been paralyzing this country for so long its a promise thats been made before and so among those that are taking part in the vote most of them are 1st time voters they want to see a change in the political culture and the new president that will bring them jobs. But you brewer has a masters degree in Political Science in a country where half of the population doesnt know how to read and write and yet he couldnt find a job now he works as a caretaker in an empty building site sleeping on a concrete floor. It is you mediating him painful to afghans to do this i sleep on the floor i am not sure why i bother to study what is this country done for me its a feeling shared by many there is no quick remedy to get the peace i was problems but for a nurse still santos expressing yourself can help alleviate the pain and perhaps bring change. Theres a real sense of anxiety among the people who are voting here because theyve seen so much political instability and most people that are going to be voting today are 1st time voters theyve only experience instability some of them have only experience. President s and so theres a lot at stake for these people who want to see a change in the political culture and were just in a few hours time right behind me are the election observers from each Political Party because theyll be keeping a close watch on how this is going to be counted the fear is that after the vote is being counted that some of the candidates will question the results and thats why the west African Forces the United Nations and others are here to keep a close watch and to mediate any efforts for people who are trying to question the result of the vote stand back to you nichols thank you at least 26 people have died in a plane crash in eastern democratic republic of congo the passenger plane carrying 17 people came down soon after takeoff in goma city it crashed into a residential area killing several people on the ground beyond.

The United Nations humanitarian chief mark low caucus made his 1st visit to sudan since the Transitional Government was formed in august more than 8500000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance as advance Economic Situation worsens over 300000 people have been affected by behavior rains and severe floods across 17 states since september at least 11 people have died in an outbreak of rift valley fever which is a water Borne Disease now the rains of also caused the rising cholera in blue nile and sanaa states 300 people have for well lets talk to mark local now who as you mentioned is the u. N. Undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs and its emergency relief coordinator he joins us live from its nice to have you with us were talking about here is really a perfect storm isnt it it is conflict it is economic collapse and it is Natural Disaster as well where do you begin to approach a humanitarian crisis such as this. Well i think the starting point is that we have a new situation in sudan a new government your thirtys i talk to them during this visit but theyve inherited an extremely difficult situation of you as youve just described to me know your headlines are exactly what were seeing a 1000000 people food insecure disease outbreaks conflict and so on some really big important things a change in the new government is giving all the aid agencies much more access to deal with these problems they want to work in a different way with this they want to normalize their relations with the wider International Community the past behind them and i think they interested me and he really now needs to step up and to seize this opportunity for my particular responsibility i would like to say more humanitarian assistance all over the country but also foster humanitarian assistance so all those people who came out onto the streets demanding change start to see some improvement in their lives things changing with the new the new government but fundamentally i think youve identified this in your report is that at the heart of this is an economic crisis youre talking about a country that is strapped for cash it needs billions of dollars if it is to avoid an outright economic collapse so without that economic infrastructure without being able to put to put something underneath that economic collapse how do you move forward. Well you know right. I have a message the last 15 years will say what people are being focused on here in sudan is the conflict the Economic Situation is now really the thing that is driving an increase in humanitarian aid the only solution really is for sudan to normalize its situation with the wider world to take the steps necessary to get taken off the list of states accused of terrorism to get into a debt relief process with the world bank an International Monetary fund and to Access Private capital to develop the undoubtedly huge resource of the country now all of that is going to take a little bit of time as everyone recognizes in the media at future that for what we need to do is to get more of the humanitarian assistance in this they are and is reaching out for 1000000 people with humanitarian assistance food and medicines and so on next year and ill be publishing the details of this just in a couple of weeks time were going to need to reach more people we need to scale up fast and we need to scale up a lot you know selling being positive if not optimistic about that International Support but we know theres often a lot of fatigue when it comes to support such as this and the reason the emergent crosses till us what the worst Case Scenario is right now for the people in sudan if they dont get the hope the mediately that they need. Well what i am saying is that when there is real needs and when there is an understanding that the agencies have access and can can deal with peoples needs the wider world remains very supportive this year for the pales i coordinate we will have record fund raising we will raise more than 16000000000 dollars next year we need to have a stronger focus on those places like sudan where there are new problems emerging and we need to get a grip of them before they get out of control we can make progress in stabilizing the situation here and buying time so the Economic Reforms can be put in place but we really do have to act fos to deal with these disease outbreaks in the hunger caused by the economic crisis if were to give these new authorities the chance they need to succeed mark local a pleasure having you on the program thank you so much there. Now to me with a leader their own son suchi is expected to defend her military against allegations of genocide at the International Court of justice the army is accused of targeting the muslim are a huge a minority and al Jazeera Documentary sets new light on the abuses and a warning osama bin divides report contains some disturbing images of. Nearly a 1000000 muslims live in the Worlds Largest refugee camp in bangladesh as the International Court of justice prepares to begin hearing allegations of genocide and forced deportation of the rangar a new documentary uncovers testimonies of abuse and the involvement of me and government officials. The persecution has gone on for decades but since 2017 hundreds of thousands of rangar were forced to flee after the military accusing the rebels of terrorism. As early as 1966 the Burmese Military started to see the real hinge or as a problem. Through the years myanmars government has even set up special forces to deal with its ruling the minority british government. Grew up these problems with muslims have existed since the british rule because they brought labor from bangladesh. Were not migrants from bangladesh this is a birth place and i was born in this house that was built 18 or 19 our mosque was also built on 994 my great grandfather. Through the years myanmars government has even set up special forces to deal with its ruling the minority. Was essentially the burmese equivalent of s. S. Now sarkar was the executioner this former intelligence chief says the priority was to stop people crossing into me in my or illegally you know i created a sucker to stop people from crossing the borders it was the right thing to do they were migrants our objective was to control our border they are guests from bangladesh and we didnt want to accept guest otherwise there would be no more rakhine just got more and more muslims that. Now decades later un investigators have warned genocide threat from me and most rangar is greater than ever i went into earlier the other famous soldier held a gun to my head in seed what if i shoot you right now did he seed we have in order to kill all of you muslims we are invincible. Or were injured once their villages were burnt down were funneled into what is now the cum complex where 122140000 were injured are basically imprisoned there are concentration camps detention camps if not into communal violence this is the burmese state organizing and watching over the destruction of wreckage of images and the rounding up of hundreds of thousands are injured into camps. Some ringers say they hit their children in graves of theirs had their babies burned alive but they threw the children into the fire but turned our heads the other way so that we wouldnt see the big difference we have never been soft on human rights in this country we must military denies carrying out mass rape and murder moment at any rate the media a lot of news about what kind of state is fake there is fabricated news that the military has raped women its not true. They raped us right in the paddy field after 5 months i knew he was there i felt him growing in size only where i want to call them all while they are 5 of us women were separated from the crowd and taken into the house. But they closed the door then they blindfolded us and then they did whatever they wanted to do with us hundreds of thousands of muslims are waiting for justice and a chance to return home some of the job was there so he took them over is the director of the film exiled she criticizes aung san suu g. s decision to defend the military at the hague he has no chance absolutely not i really am surprised that shes behaving this way this woman has told the delusional she isnt denial she cannot justify the actions of the military which is effectively under her command she knows whats going on she knew was going on for years and im really waiting to hear her arguments against accusations of genocide this is so clear everyone is talking about it and she just completely still continues to defend the corner with no possibility of proving otherwise as far as im concerned because another legal im not a legal expert but what i have seen is a genocide and you can see the full program which is called exiled when it 1st is it 20100 g. M. T. On sunday. Full after weeks of speculation one of americas richest man has just entered the rice for the White House Former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg is joining an already crowded democratic field he says hes running for president to defeat donald trump and rebuild America Kristen salumi. Mike Bloomberg Party affiliation has changed since he was a republican mayor of new york but his opposition to donald trump has been consistent trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running his business god help us the 77 year old billionaire has funneled millions of dollars of his personal fortune into progressive causes like gun control and Climate Change but is considered a moderate and were he to run as a democrat a potential threat to former Vice President joe biden were he fits sort of an even keeled even tempered political leader with a track record of getting things done in the city of new york with the specially with 2 you can on the key issues Economic Development and and think things of that sort which has a certain amount of appeal to more moderate. Mainstream type democratic voters bloomberg has expressed his dissatisfaction with the current field of democrats suggesting some are too far to the left to beat the president who shrugged off speculation the former mayor would enter the race little might go will. Spend a lot of money Michael Bloomberg made his fortune here at bloomberg to help lead the Financial Information a Media Company with the cofounder hes the richest man in new york with far exceeding president trumps but among some democrats that could be a liability what we need is a dynamic democracy particularly among the party base not the billionaire who just started a walk to run for president of the United States while bloomberg may be targeting white suburban voters who went for trump in 2016. He recently apologized for a policy that put him at odds with the Minority Community called stop and frisk many saw this Police Tactic as a form of racism and harassment. I got something important wrong i got something important really wrong. I didnt understand that back them the full impact that stocks were having on the black and latino communities an apparent recognition of the need to unify the opposition and a late apology that appears aimed at smoothing the way for a late entry in the race kristen salumi al jazeera new york. Or john henry who is live for us now in washington d. C. John we were just listening there and donald trump already talking about Michael Bloomberg is a little michael this is a significant entry into the rice the bloomberg believes he can beat trump why. Well hes got a lot of money to spend for 1. 00 thing he is already spent 30000000. 00 on an initial round of ads hes. Said hes going to spend 100000000. 10 on internet ads alone but hes willing to commit 150000000. 00 of his own fortune and that is just for the entry into the race we dont know how much of that hes willing to spend donald trump by contrast would say he was going to spend his money for the race but he actually ended up raising a lot of money from other people that he ended up spending bloomberg is in many ways a counterpart to trump the 7377 trumpets 73. And hes a other white male from new york city but politically he has been very active this isnt really his 1st foray into politics a long time businessman whos been mayor of new york and hes been pushing gun control spending a lot of money on ads for that and Climate Change so this could be a real contrast in policies and he seems like just the kind of candidate that could counter trump in many ways but hes also pretty good foil for the leftist democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders who seem perfectly happy to be running against a billionaire because that is the kind of person theyve been campaigning against meanwhile another Senate Candidate a meat club a char who is running for president as well she this morning was asked on one of the talk shows how she felt about bloomberg entering the race and she seemed to wince as she said we welcome any new contenders but im sure most of those democrats who are polling fairly low are not happy to see a big contender like this join the race john may be good for Elizabeth Warren but not so good necessarily for joe biden because just as hes bloomberg a counterpoint for the donor front is also similarly for joe biden as. Thats right hes a moderate like biden hes a hes about the same age as biden and he also you know appeals to the same demographic he looks like a standard american politician and an older white men they hold a lot of the same views because bloomberg isnt really that far to the left and he has a lot of money to spend that biden has to actually raise and this is happening at a time when biden seems to have really slipped from the very top of the polls people who judge is leading the mayor of south bend indiana in many polls warren is giving biden a run for his money and the worst thing that could happen to him now is to have another contender a legitimate contender with lots of money to back him running up against biden so this is definitely not good news but its a late entry for bloomberg so he really is going to have to do something in places like iowa New Hampshire South Carolina those early voting states and if he doesnt that could torpedo his candidacy right there this is a very late start lets start big 9 big recognition big profiles a Fascinating Development thank you joe. Still ahead believe interim president signs off on a new election for the former president evo morales from protesting really go live to the polls. Tell you why this College Ground to a whole thats coming up in school is a little.

Bolivias interim president has signed off on new elections now this comes after weeks of antigovernment protests that forced president evo morales to step down and seek asylum in mexico now the bill that last months elections was approved by both out. Of congress on saturday morale is is from contesting Mariana Sanchez joins us now live from the paws people been calling for this but theres been so much anger on the streets as well marianna what is this going to do to become free and whats the process. Will stand if it does is it is already having an effect in the country we havent seen violent protests or protests if you will in the past couple of days however theres going to be a march today in favor of the police and the army people who want to support what they have been doing they say that they have been implemented security in the country and its supposed to be a specific march of course. A lot of people in the streets have been more worried now about what is going to happen it with them if its racism will be back so many people weve been talking to already on the streets of bolivia are telling us the most important thing right now is for elections to be held as soon as possible. Can you tell us as well about the potential front runners are going to be and even though morale is content to this and hes out of the country just how much influence he will still have. Well what i listened to his former Vice President cannot go back and run on elections there are still no names not even by the mass party the Largest Party in the country that this is. That we know of that will names that are already talked about nothing yet what is going to happen right now after now now that the interim president has enact at this low is that National Assembly house to name 7 members of the supreme electoral tribunals 3 of them have to be women and 2 of them have to be members of the talk to us indigenous communities and they will have 20 days to organize and. Call for elections and after that they will have 120. 00 days for the elections to be held so it is possible that we will not be able to see a new precedent in bolivia before for months however the names of course. That must party has told us they dont know yet who they will they will present but many people here have been telling us that they really want to be be represented be represented as they have been by an indigenous precedent in the past nearly 14 years mariano thank you so much for that marina such as joining us live there from. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has invited his conservative partys election manifesto hes called it a radical agenda for the u. K. Johnson says if reelected he will not extend breaks its implementation period beyond december 2020 among other key commitments is a promise to not rise taxes johnson said the states have never been higher for the u. K. Get bricks. And we can restore confidence and certainty to business and to families get bricks it done and will see a pent up tidal wave of investment into this country get bricks it done and we can focus our hearts and our minds on the priorities of the british people. Paul britton joins us live from the West Midlands weve heard that they all have heard of a paul get breaks it done thats the headline here is that out of this out of his manifesto. Its the title of the manifesto stand yes i look down its get it done unleash britains potential plastered across the cover a relatively modest manifesto in many ways 59. 00 pages which is quite light as far as content goes. Of course is the central plank of everything in all of this and Boris Johnson in his speech to the Party Faithful here in telford encouraging them to look forward to a britain 10 years from now which could be the greatest country on earth the greatest place on earth he predicted by releasing the what he describes as a pent up tidal wave of investment through getting a conservative majority at this general election if there is a majority after december the 12th he says that he will immediately bring his Withdrawal Agreement back into parliament before christmas before december 25th and get it passed so that britain can definitely leave the European Union by the end of that latest extension which is the end of january january the 31st other than that there were no debts of policy the 50000 new nurses some millions for childcare millions for roads upgrades and pothole filling in there was although the other thing that was the important plank of policy which is social care for the elderly and increasing concern in this increasingly Elderly Population thats been kicked down the road hes pledged to try and find some cross party concensus on that so no Firm Policies on that its all there was some jokes he said that he wants of britain to be carbon free by 2050 and corbin free by christmas and he also took aim at the labor leader his opponents in the in this election by saying that most labor governments and with an economic crisis Jeremy Corbyn wanted to start. Labor government if elected with an with an economic crisis a poll just on the question of the economy you know of course gets all the headlines and sucks up some of the oxygen but there are also real Economic Issues at play here and one of the things that ive talked about in the manifesto is the triple tax law no increase on Income Tax National Insurance and the v a 80 for the impact that that would have and how attractive that might be to the electorate. In effect to trickle locks if you like the ones on the state pension making sure that people who take the u. K. State pension get at least 2. 5 percent increase year on year depending on which is greater the 2. 5 percent or inflation for the triple tax lock that you talk about is a pledge from the Prime Minister in this manifesto not to increase the 3 main taxes that he has at his disposal Income Tax National Insurance tax obviates he how can he pay for that analysts are a bit concerned and a bit dubious about how he can make that balance balance the books the chancellor says 200000000000. 00 pounds worth of borrowing how alike they are down. After after so much austerity here and paul thank you so much for that paul brennan joining us from the West Midlands Security Forces in egypt have righted the countries and the independent news publication.
