Wrong. Past mistakes come back to haunt former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg as he announces hes running for the white house. Prodemocracy candidates and home cone have won an unprecedented and symbolic victory in District Council elections voters turned out in Record Numbers after almost 6 months of protest on kongs probating leader kerry lum says shell home plate listen to voters after the stunning result scott hider reports. In a sweeping victory prodemocracy candidates made huge gains in hong kongs District Council elections gaining control from pro beijing parties. The voters sending a clear message in the 1st polling since the protest movement began. Even before the polls closed it was clear that this was an extraordinary election and a record breaking day for hong kong elections the highest voter turnout ever over 70 percent of registered voters cast their ballots after nearly 6 months of at times violent demonstrations the polling was seen as a way for voters to officially take sides in this deeply divided city of 7000000 back the probation candidates in the 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 increasing control of the Mainland China you know. This election meant a lot to hong kong the older generation who. The Younger Generation hopes for change. Its usually a sleepy election to select a low level local government positions but many will couple 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 defacto referendum on the protests and the violence there was an un easy call 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 knew this election is critical to their cause. Kongs leader kerry lamb while casting her vote recognized that challenging times for the city and the importance of peaceful elections. Andrew chu won his 4th term as District Councillor the prodemocracy candidate was brutally attacked earlier this month parts of his ear were bitten off. Howard doesnt need can have a very strong and clear mouse to a new method for the other me the beijing of 14 and also the International Community thats be home from people as they stand firm together trying to keep on fight for our freedom and democracy so even though more people voted than ever before and this is a significant election its unclear if the victory for the prodemocracy parties will ease the violence or help to mend the divisions here scott heiler aljazeera hong kong. Well another over reporters in Hong Kong Sarah Clarke tells us more about the implications of those results. The probation had parties had held the majority of these District Council elections but now this is clearly changed and of course this is traditionally an uneventful vote until now it hasnt had that much importance but simply out of those ongoing protests and the mass Antigovernment Movement this is become a barometer of public support for knowing the protests but for the government i know we have seen some quite high profile public. Members unseated including julius ho and he was of course the fellow who was associated with the triad to within the queues to be shingle we saw images of these triads beating the protests is during the campaign weve now weve spoken to a promise. Kept member early on his lips of counts his name is paul cherry and he says that these results for the probation camp a nightmarish this is what he had to say a short time ago i. Have spoken quite loudly and clearly so i believe what we now do is. But the more satisfactory than before and i think the government. Although timing wise it may not be the best time yet but they will be on the table as well there is a handful of those protesters have been inside that Polytechnic University campus for more than a week now we had 1000 late last week but we believe up to about 20 are still holed up inside now some of the civic is on the candidates who won at sundays district election and theyre going to go on this of course in a demonstration at university we also have 2 other demonstrations planned we have one flash mob we expect to appear in central which is about a couple kilometers from where we are now and another encounter in tong so at the moment sound certainly a huge win for the prodemocracy camp at the moment theyre celebrating their victory. Beijing has responded to the protests saying hong kong is part of china no matter what happens in elections one of those Andrew Thomas for more under whichever way you cut it this isnt a barrison result for beijing just how is it being viewed in china be. Or what is quite telling is that when youre in beijing as i am you hear very little about the Election Results nothing on state media nothing on television you wouldnt even know these elections had happened and yet in the run up to the elections there was plenty on state media which really tells you all you need to know i want to give an example of that this is china daily the official english language but essentially government mouthpiece newspaper here in beijing this is monday mornings paper but of course it was printed on sunday night when the turnout was known but when the results werent known and here is the front page headline turnout sets wreck order in hong kong district voting obviously at that point it was a significant story and inside an editorial in that same part paper seems to suggest the high turnout will be good news for beijing ill read a bit of it it says that the election saw both a record turnout and a Record Number of candidates demonstrates the hopes of hong kong residents that the chaos will not continue as it is harming peoples well being and the image of the city clearly that paper the state media and by extension beijings governmental chinas government was thinking suggesting that the high turnout meant good news for pro establishment parties it would be a referendum on the violence and if you like the violent protesters would lose that referendum obviously it hasnt turned out that way and when you go to the website of china daily for the latest information guess what that same article is front and center theres nothing on the result whatsoever so really silence so far from beijing when it comes to these results and that in itself tells you everything you need to know. But on to in terms of an official response i mean how are the Chinese Governments going to respond to this. Well the ministry of Foreign Affairs gives a briefing every day to foreign journalists and were expecting that as per normal in about 2 hours time and no doubt they will be asked about these results and we should get some sort of official response from the minister of Foreign Affairs then the only comment weve had at all so far is from chinas foreign minister hes in japan and he was asked about the Election Results and what he said was that quote hong kong is part of china no matter what happens in elections well thats really answering a question that no one is asking no one is saying is hong kong part of china after this of course it is the big question of course is what these elections say about peoples attitudes towards the protests and about support for the violence that there has been in hong kong over recent months he didnt engage with that well see later whether the Foreign Ministry in beijing does but so far no official response on that at all ok Andrew Thomas for now i thank you very much indeed. Highly classified Chinese Government documents giving a stark insight into the mass tension of ethnic minorities mostly muslim weaker is why its groups estimates that more than a 1000000 people have been locked up in camps in the region into monohan as this reports.

Inmates the documents say are ultimately judged on ideological transformation study and training and compliance with discipline and order. In the classes they would tell us that we were poisoned by religion that islam is an Infectious Disease that it came from abroad that if they needed to be a religion in china that it must be put is him and we should not believe in any other religion. Human rights lawyers say the documents confirm what many have suspected about the camps theres a system inside of these camps you know where you get more points for being indoctrinated with you know the sort of central Chinese Communist propaganda and removing interesting youre honest. Its the most orwellian thing that ever seemed or as human rights. Chinese government has rejected leaked documents as fake news. Documents talking to talking about is a. Fabrication if you want to have a document about this but cheney had a consensus we have many documents we have the 7 papers published International Legal experts say the in term and camps are a violation of chinas laws and constitution but the Chinese Government has long stood defiant against foreign criticism vinton meaghan aljazeera.

The Top Commander of the u. S. Navy one day shot down rumors he was going to step down over the handling of a war crimes case in all the Navy Seal Gallagher story contrary to popular belief im still here i did not threaten to resign. But let us just say that were here to talk about external threats and he elgars not one of them on the next day after those comments the Navy Secretary Richard Spencer did not have to resign on sunday evening he was abruptly fired after pushing back against President Donald Trump it all stems from the case of the navy seal who walked out of a military jail in july a free man after being acquitted of war crimes he was accused by fellow navy seals of murder in iraq in 2017 including shooting unarmed civilians and stabbing a wounded teenager to death gallagher whose lawyers argued any civilians he killed was done so in the heat of battle was happy with the acquittal top Navy Commanders were not and demoted him in rank after pushing for his expulsion from the seals because he was found guilty of a lesser charge of posing for photographs with the dead iraqi but the special operations soldier had a powerful ally of his side President Donald Trump who parted gallagher for any wrongdoing restore his rank and demanded the navy halt any further investigations against any and that is what led to spencers firing when a departure letter to the president wrote he cannot in good conscience obey orders from trump he believes quote violate the sacred oath he took his Navy Commander trump tweeted sunday night the reason spencer was fired was because he was not pleased with the way gallaghers trial was handled and cost overruns within the navy. When trump pulled u. S.
