Welcome to the program a protest votes come through loud and clear in hong kong prodemocracy candidates have won an overwhelming majority in Council Elections that are successful as months of demonstrations against increasing chinese influence but its prompted chief executive kerry lamb to promise that shell listen humbly sarah clarke begins our coverage. As dawn broke hong kong went to a new Political Landscape more than 70 percent of voters cast their ballots in sundays district Council Elections the prodemocracy party secured a Record Number of seats a lot of people actually sacrificed a lot of suffering but they suffered a lot in the last 6 months to to actually get this result and i think people are very. Theyre so united and they are so together to try to actually try to win something joshua one was disqualified for running but his party claimed victory in his electorate unseating the incumbent post councilor remarkable achievement in that this election is the efforts of callers especially motorists. Protests are a hotline for lying theres the pray the price span the time or even sacrifice in the protest movement until now the probation parties held the majority in the District Councils but anger against the government eroded their support theyve apologized to the public for misreading the vote those aligned to the post camp say its a nightmarish result and the citys government will need to reassess the peoples demands have spoken quite loudly and clearly havent they so i believe what we now do is what it called the 5 major demands and whether in that any of them can be dealt with by the most out of step for you then before the district Council Elections are traditionally and on a vengeful poll but after 6 months of antigovernment demonstrations and increasing violence this election was considered a barometer of public support for the protesters this is a win for the protesters that could be a point for them to say weve weve i reference on the street have converted into a tangible political outcome and this is a Good Opportunity to step back and take stock and and think about what next for the protest movement so it may see a period of relative calm for hong kong after a very turbulent 6 months the prodemocracy movement celebrated their victory on monday but some protests is rallied to show their support to those who are still holed up inside the Polytechnic University for more than a week the District Council vote comes ahead of the midst of Council Election next year sundays record turnout is considered a message from voters to reopen the discussion on the citys political reform the government now has 10 months to make changes before voters go to the polls once again sarah clarke aljazeera hong kong.

Of an ugly occupation with no end in sight characterized by institutional discrimination by systematic repression and rights abuses in particular if the Palestinian People if the Israeli Government can deport somebody documenting rights abuse without facing consequence how can we ever stop rights abuse lets take you straight to the royal palace here in doha where the turkish president or the one is meeting with the amir to discuss issues and regional concerns thats just dip in and listen to what he has to say trying to maintain security and id like to give them my thanks norbi we hear you and lord protect you from any trouble any attack and always approaching.

And we seem to just caught the end of his speech to a Service Personnel he has of course been a great supporter of qatar during the blockade of the country these past 2 years and both countries obviously are very concerned about the ongoing situation in syria and the regional disturbances certainly in iran recently and of course in iraq much to discuss and hopefully gets more analysis of what the president is discussing with the qatari amir in the coming hours now the number of People Killed in landslides and flooding in northwestern kenya has risen to 52 rescue workers in west closed too close to the border with in kandahar struggling to reach thousands of people in need of help because of bad conditions up to a 1000000 people are affected across east africa because of the heavy of the normal rainfall from nairobi muhammadan explains how river towns are making things worse. These kind of flooding are becoming almost unusual events last year we sold dumbs breaking their bunks blasting their bunks and killing so many people all the flooding and inundating villages and towns along the banks and many people asking why was the small town voided but the government is quick to say that these east due to Climate Change and beyond their control they are also sending out a very tough warning to People Living only in low lying areas but also along the river banks that the banks are bound to the bomb to a boss that banks once again they should go to Higher Ground and the ease. Of a question going on right now in west cork but also in other parts of the country where theres been extremely. Bad conditions and also have been rainfall going on and the dams that are also being released in a controlled way and on to grieve was expected to exacerbate the situation. Saying in the region violence is escalating in a city in the eastern democratic republic of congo and residents are turning their anger on United Nations troops 11 people including a soldier who died in beni 2 of those were killed while protesting at the u. N. Compound residents say Security Forces are protecting them a rebel Group Calling itself the allied Democratic Forces is behind many recent attacks in the area which is near the ugandan border. And divest a geisha is underway into a plane crash in the east a democratic republic of congo least 29. 00 people were killed when the small plane went down just after takeoff on sunday night of those killed were on the ground in the city of goma they were all members of the same family. Lore the 1000 people have been rallying in kurdistan in central asia over allegations that hundreds of millions of dollars was stolen from public funds. The crowds gathered outside the government headquarters of the capital bishkek demanding action it was triggered by recent reports of virtual families a bribe to Customs Officials say it was one of the most powerful men in the country the source of the information was shot dead it istanbul this morning. Now the official who oversees the u. S. Navy has been fired for his handling of a high profile war crimes case the controversy pitted Richard Spencer against President Donald Trump gabriel is under has the story from washington d. C. 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 involving a 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 gallaghers not one of them on the next day after those comments Navy Secretary Richard Spencer did not have to resign on sunday evening he was abruptly fired after pushing back against President Donald Trump but 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 and 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 restored 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. Troops out of Northern Syria in october it was against the advice of the pentagon this entire ordeal with the navy seal is just the latest example of a president not afraid to use his title as commander in chief of the u. S. Armed forces to defy military commanders when he deems it necessary he rolls on doe al jazeera washington lets go live to our White House Correspondent kelly how tos it washington d. C. Shes been following all of these proceedings for some weeks now of course. What else has the president been saying and the response from him about this. Well hes been very vocal throughout this and i think thats whats made this case very striking and in many respects led to the outcome the president weighed in directly on this on twitter very recently he had 3 tweets where he accused the military and specifically the navy of mishandling this case he was not pleased with the outcome of how this trial occurred and he was very unhappy with sort of the attempts even though the navy seal was exonerated on the major charges the fact that there were still internal discipline that would be taking place the civically the socalled trident pin that is very significant to the navy seals this essentially means you are a navy seal it was very important for the u. S. President as he weighed in on twitter to see that that was maintained but this is something that really made the navy is the civically the Navy Secretary Richard Spencer very unhappy and this is what has happened so as the president has protected the navy seal what weve also seen now though is the efforts to push back on the president s order this sort of unusual intervening in a case that normally would be followed internally has cost the Navy Secretary his job. Completely we talk about so many unusual situations where the president is intervening it of course is just. Adds to all of the controversy thats going on at the moment. And debate because what we have in the United States are really 2 systems of justice there is the sort of typical criminal justice that occurs for civilians like myself but then there is the use c. M. J. Or the uniform code of military justice and this is very unusual although the u. S. President is the commander in chief he does have the final say never before have we seen a president weighing in to this extent added in such a public way and the debate has become who really has the final say because what we saw here is the Navy Secretary pushing back on what he thought was a command that was essentially immoral and ethical but we saw the president weighing in using him exerting his final say as commander in chief and now there is this debate whether or not it is required of those in the military to once that order has come from the president to essentially carry it out even if they feel that it may be for political purposes or immoral or unethical this is something that is certain to be debated moving forward for years to come and so a story that so it is good to go away in the near future for the moment to believe thank you.
