Could take over from spain as the worlds biggest producer. But 1st caroline has promised to listen humbly to hong kong voters after a big win for proDemocracy Campaign is in local elections that candidates are on track to win an overwhelming majority of the seats in the citys District Councils now its a crushing blow for chief executive lam after months of protests against her approach china government chinas Foreign Ministers reiterated that hong kong is part of china no matter what happens in elections well hear from Andrew Thomas in beijing in just a while 1st so lets go live to sarah clarke huge in the hong kong and. This is a massive victory isnt it we had record a record turnout and overwhelmingly people voted in support of the protests that have gripped the city foma 6 months that. Its a landslide victory for the prodemocratic parties in these district elections and we can confirm 17 of the District Councils the private prodemocracy groups now have a majority in those 17 of the District Councils we have 388 seats have gone to the pan democrats or the prodemocracy groups and 59 to the pro beijing off we refer to them as a problem parties carolan has responded in a statement not in public but she said that the government will listen to the open minds of the voices she said she respects the results and that she hopes that Peace Security and order can be restored to hong kong after this vote and weve also had a press conference from the d. B. Which is the probation groups that back out in the profusely apologize to the voters for not listening to a message we had won from the lips of counsel a fellow called paul cherry hes quite a high profile lawmaker he said this is a nightmarish result and he believes that the government here the lives of council must make changes before the lets of Council Election which will be held in september next year and serve with this massive victory this landslide victory i mean it is just for for representation on local councils so how will it affect materially the way hong kong is wrong surely this comes down to the discretion of the chief executive government. It does but its always been considered a barometer of the public support for not only the protest movement but also the governments handling of this crisis the ongoing protests that have lasted around 6 months here in hong kong often crippling the city whether be the transport system and the public system and also you know where its been widespread is my point now the civic part of the south and we still have protests going ahead and weve had a flash mob in central theyve stopped parts or blocked parts of head a street which is a very busy part of central and hong kong and we also have some of these prodemocracy groups in the new candidates who won their seats they gathering at the Polytechnic University on monday afternoon to not only have some sort of a victory parade but theyre also showing support for some of those protesters the student protesters who are still inside the Polytechnic University campus in calderon but certainly this was just a local district election and often its considered one of an event full whole but this message that on sunday the voter turnout the record voter turnout with 70 percent of voters casting their ballots this message can be heard and its clearly a message to the government not just the district elections but the letter to the council that they want to reopen the discussion on political reform and they want to push back on that child as tightening grip on this former british territory all right sara thanks for that. Well an unequivocal message in coming from the voters of call to china Andrew Thomas is our correspondent in beijing with more reaction. Based on the official Media Coverage on monday all rather the lack of it its as if these results have come as a surprise to you the government invasion this is china daily english language newspaper reflecting the view of the government here monday mornings paper that of course printed on sunday when the turnout was known but not the results and this is the headline on the front page turnouts record in hong kong district voting in. An editorial suggests that high turnout means that people are coming to show that discussed the protests this from a quote but the election saw a record turnout and a Record Number of candidates demonstrated the hope of hong kong residents at the chaos will not continue as it is harming peoples well being and the image of the city clearly expected that the high turnout would translate it to support a pro its stablish my policies not those showing support for the protesters it hasnt turned out that way and if you go to the website of china daily on monday there is no updates about what so about nothing about the results merely a repetition of that article so i based that on the lack of a response from beijing i think its safe to say the government here did not see these results coming. Right to lebanon where they have been violent scenes and supporters of to Share Movements clashed with protesters in the capital Beirut Police intervened after supporters of hezbollah and amal attacked demonstrators who are demanding government change now this is some of the worst violence in more than a month of demonstrations live now to beirut our correspondent there is enough harder is this an indication then that the the common purpose that was being expressed by lebanese it would have appeared is now cracking and there is an element of sectarianism creeping in to the demonstrations. Well there is no doubt that mainly sectarian parties in lebanon continue to have support among the people what we saw last night violence and unrest at least for 3 hours this area where we are became a front line that bridge behind me the ring road a main artery in beirut was where protesters were demanding a change in government were blocking roads and then supporters of the mainly shia parties amel and has a large carrying their party flags chanting the names. Their leaders attacked them using metal rods and clubs as they made their way towards the protest site the protest site in Martyrs Square you will now see how the tents have been destroyed by the supporters of hezbollah i have to mention that this is not the 1st time an incident like this has happened but this indeed is the most violent incident yet there is tension in the street there is a deep divide in the society has a policy leader has said that the grievances expressed by the demonstrators are legitimate but he has accused the protest movement of being backed by foreign governments and these calling this a conspiracy against the group saying that the ultimate aim is to change the balance of power in the country accusations that people in the streets deny they say that they want a Better Living conditions they have no faith in the ruling elite and who have been in their words involved in corruption for decades and mismanagement and they want new faces but clearly the divide is the violence in the streets political turmoil as well as an economic crisis and fundamentally what i understand the demonstrators to be calling for is a complete overhaul of the system of government in lebanon which is fundamentally based upon sect. Yes that is going to be very very difficult and if you talk to protesters in the street they they do realize how difficult this goal will be so far theyve managed to topple the government but theyve only been able to do that because the Prime Minister saad heidi resigned they have paralyzed parliament they blocked roads leading to parliament but they were able to do that because in one way or another the army and Security Forces did not forcibly open the roads so these protesters are receiving help from opposition parties as well as to a certain extent of the army which is trying to maintain a very delicate balance in the country the army has not really cracked down on this protest movement so you have the Prime Minister have you saying i will only returned to office if it is a technocrat government nonpartisan government so i can implement Economic Reforms and you have the governing Alliance Hezbollah as well as the president saying no we dont accept we want Political Representation in the following and the new government but clearly the International Community is not going to support that already we are hearing statements from western officials saying they would like to see a technocrat government in place in lebanon in order to make this country able to receive much needed financial aid. Then live in beirut thank you. Now to the rebel Group Calling itself the Democratic Forces the i. D. F.

Now highly classified Chinese Government documents are giving a stark insight into the mass detention of ethnic minorities most of them being muslim weakens Rights Groups estimate that the. More than a 1000000 people have been locked up in camps in the john region into monohan reports. The Chinese Government says camps such as this in the shin jiang region are centers for education and Vocational Training documents obtained and verified by the International Consortium of investigative journalists reveal they in fact operate as extrajudicial internment camps for the compulsory indoctrination of ethnic minorities mostly muslims the documents detail how police use an Artificial Intelligence driven data system to select who will be detained once inside the camps every aspect of their life is controlled from frequency of toilet use and haircuts to visits from loved ones 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 people does 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 an 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 year on islamic identity its the most orwellian thing that ever seemed or as human rights. Chinese government has rejected leaked documents as fake news the documents talking to talking about is a. Fabrication if you want to have a document about this case you know cheney had a consensus we have many documents we have a 7 white paper its 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. Then tomorrow on aljazeera. Australias Prime Minister says hes disturbed by reports that china tried to install an agent in his countrys parliament a suspected chinese espionage ring allegedly offered millions of dollars to a businessman with joe nationality to run for election as an m. P. According to australian media both told Intelligence Services about the offer then in march he was found dead in a motel room these matters were already under investigation and those investigations are continuing i would i would caution anyone leaping to any conclusions about these matters thats why we have these agencies im not but i do find the allegations troubling and disturbing that serious Constitutional Committee is you to resume talks later in geneva theyre trying to Work Together on a new constitution aimed at ending 8 years of war the Group Includes members from the government the opposition and Civil Society diplomatic editor james berets revolts on the vast divide between sides which threatens to undermine any prospect of a deal. The un has been putting a positive spin on what was achieved at the 1st round of these talks in geneva the reality though is that there was very little progress made in actually drafting a new constitution for syria but the 2 sides as well as a 3rd group of representatives of Civil Society showed up in the talks didnt collapse it would be too early to say there is agreement on constitutional principles nor is there yet agreement on which issues should be addressed in the future constitutional text and which should be addressed in other ways but there was a solid initial discussion and there are commonalities on which to build. The members during the recess to reflect on what was discussed and return ready to build on it the cochair of the Constitutional Committee on the government side because bari has said that any constitution needs to preserve what he describes as National Constants in syria now thats a code word for the assad dinner whove been running the country for almost 50 years it is the key issue and its likely to be a crunch point soon for these talks james pays out his era at the United Nations now the colombian president evander kane has held a meeting with newly elected manners and governors to try to work out a deal on reform the socalled National Dialogue for the days of antigovernment protests many are angry about corruption and potential changes to the minimum wage to pensions and to taxes a curfew was imposed in the capital on friday but it didnt stop people from returning to the streets a day later i was 100 m. P. s he has more now from bogota. And take other men demonstrations have stretched into a straight for today here in the capital bogota and across the country with thousands of people coming out in different classes in different parts of the city to protest at the policies 6 of the rightwing government obviously who they are fearful of tracking back right where you can see that the demonstrations will continue. And there are so protests against violence today say they have backtracked from the Security Forces that they. Have. Asked actually after the fact president to back crashed his car into a National Conversation today working. He says that drinking actually started meeting with the newly elected mayors and governors that. Our idea is in the coming days and weeks to take this exercise to the regions and the listening stage and then move on to the actions but the unions and the leaders of the strike say they dont trust the president do especially given the fact that he hasnt been willing to meet with them yet even many of the new the mayor saying that thats a mistake and its showing that the president took this now really interested in dealing with the issues that have been motivating a lot of the people here. I hope hell speak to the very soon because he knows this is a time bomb and that if he doesnt rip it leave things will get out of hand and rightly so because people are tired of being abused the leaders of the strike have called for another major demonstration on the monday which promises to be the biggest. The one that happened on thursday the socalled National Strike that started this protest and that long and that has brought that kind of.

But let us just say that were here to talk about external threats and he gallaghers not one of them on the next day after those comments Navy SecretaryRichard 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.
