This time from inside his own car. Welcome to the news are hundreds of people are marching towards an airport in eastern democratic republic of congo where un peacekeepers a based theres growing anger against the un in the city of beni after persistent attacks from armed rebels despite the presence of the Worlds Largest contingent of peacekeepers on monday people stormed the United Nations compound 4 people were killed the un has denied its peacekeepers fired at civilians. As a producer alan carney is on the line from bette and joins us now just bring us up to date with what we know firstly about the violence and also this march of the public towards the airport. Yes what we know right now we have seen we have seen the same people who are here yesterday storming the un calm they can park again morning we were around here trying to see the damage how it looks like but we could see some of them even right now its raining here in the town of bailey but this is when we have just seen hundreds. 5 of people going around going to the airport they said they have just not even displaced they have just demolishing yesterday they. Are not happy because they could see again. The presence of un peacekeepers then they are not happy because of the they said they are going to finish with the un peacekeepers and the un presence in this area so we have seen but the fear right now in the town of spin here the presence of lesions is more more more more to fight the protesters ive been discussing with some people in this town this morning for the population are afraid because some militia groups are covering from different places they are coming here in town of benny joining protesters and this is going very very bad since org is sort of the is trying to negotiate with them not to go to the airport because this is the last days of the u. N. And the attack at this place is going to be very very bad and a more Violent School be in the coming hours indeed allan the the issue really for the public at large is as you say they feel they havent been protected by these militia groups by the u. N. And that all that anger invented at the u. N. But what have the Government Forces been doing is the u. S. Position is to support the the National Army of the country one of the National Army being doing. The National Army also this is another issues because they protested also accusing the National Army saying that its because of this un was supposed normally according to is mandate to support me so that they can contact the show in a military operation but this did not truly walk for a long time now so the army of the see this is where the militia and the rebels are taking 4 feet from the disorganization this army the other the lack of organization they have not been able to organize themselves these are v. T. C. Rebels this is why the rebels are killing any time they want to take on attacking any area any time so the protesters population of billy not feeling safe even with this National Army this is why they said lets kick out the whole the un then well deal with our own soldiers will make pressure on them because they have seen what we are doing against the us 2 will take over the army this is what they have been telling nadal it doesnt take is the responsibility definitively as im telling you the militia groups 4 hearing more now you can even hear around me people singing exactly the same protest theyre guttering to the airport dealing with difficult bits of the u. N. We dont know what will happen in the coming hours as im saying they need to move of course keep updated with us throughout the day alan carney is all just there a producer there in benny well im a buddhist the head of the United Nations in grand old and benny he spoke to my colleague Martin Dennis earlier about the situation the military base. 1st of course we are aware of the demonstrators who are making their way and we are at the same time making every effort to continue to dialogue with these demonstrators and their leaders as well as to the National Authorities local and in government and in contrast to ensure. And return to peace and security in the region but it doesnt seem to be working so far does it because people in beni appear to be furious at correspondent telling us that people have been setting fire to cars people their young men on the streets with machetes they are claiming that the u. N. That she fired at them there were several casualties yesterday and said that the u. N. Soldiers actually fired live rounds at this at the case. We didnt know. What demonstrators. We have. Our troops and our Police Officers who are trained in red control who provided protection to our compound while it was being attacked for hours at a time we did not fire at demonstrators we have used our Police Officers who have the capacity and the means to control. Demonstrators and this is what happened last night that some of this is going to forgive me what did they use them what does the u. N. Police use and if not live rounds when they are trying to exercising tactics in crowd control what sort of i mean mission to they use. Our Police Officers have to guess they also have the shields and they have the best chance and they have the tactics to. Address. The demonstrations including when they are very violent it is important to note that these than 3 sions were very bright and despite that we. Made sure that we exist say that the bottom was restrained both in terms of our. Reaction to the large crowd that was very very violent and kept coming towards our base for hours. While staying in the region officials northwest kenya say tens of thousands of people have been affected by flooding and landslides at least 52 people have died relief efforts have been slow to reach the region and some roads and bridges have been cut off by flooding several east african nations are being hit by heavy rain and more is forecast from about to the flooding in kenya and of course obama did there is a camp for internally displaced people in the western polka area of the country mohammed lets just start with the situation as it is at the moment in terms of rescue and recovery because obviously the people behind you have certainly found safe haven for the time being. Yes but they have so many problems they dont have clean water or enough food they also dont have shelter many of them told us that they slept out in the open last night and they are appealing for health of course these relief what is going hunting 100. 00 with not only. Work off looking for the bodies of bulls who are still bodies under. A mud slide or rolling from the hills that these fleas is known for but also the ease and attempt by the government to build the sections of the roll that have been swept away as well as bridges to ennoble relief that is landed. Along the road to reach people who need it more at least 7000 people have sought shelter in these come by Primary School in a place called near quickly and its in the west. County which is one of the was affected by the ongoing flood crisis and right now theyre not getting much help for some medical workers who came from the more unified a hospital in nearby al gore it who are treating them im talking to the medical workers they say that most of them have responded to the problems and theyre treating them for that mainly 24 hours ago i spoke to a representative of the red cross and they said they were coordinating their efforts with the all sora teams with the government and its agencies what evidence have you seen or what reports have you heard of of this any or any of the rescue and recovery relief operations the government has initiated. Well apart from rescuing those who are already in affected areas what the government and we have courts are also doing is because there is a. Week more or 4 in full that has been for us trying to. Defeat which areas in various prawn 2 lumps lives and flooding and take people from there theyre more effective these time they are lifting some of them and taking them some of them have calls to higher areas to ensure that these minimal damage in case incidents like what happened here i repeat that and this is a process that is taking place across the country in the coastal part in that they dont have at the county people are being moved to safer areas and also in central tenure which is prone to landslides people are also being acquitted but the immediate thing people who have been affected by this like those who are here need is food blankets from the very cold mites and its not that they have just lost all their belongings some of them also lost their loved ones we just spoke moments ago to among almost 3 obvious sons and heartsease wife and these 2 other kids in the hospital with injuries when the mudslide that him down from the heel they were living nearby their home and killed his kids and injured his wife and 2 other kids of course is a developing situation that well continue to monitor it with you from that remote part of kenya for the moment thank you i made it out or. Moving to asia pacific now our whole goal as chief executive has admitted that voters have delivered a rebuke to the territories leaders kerry lands been speaking after prodemocracy candidates won a landslide victory in District Council elections she also said that the poll which is normally focused on very local issues was very different this time. We will wear. The large number of voters coming out to cost and vote perhaps not do need to select a preferred candidate to sit on the District Council but also to express a view on many issues in society including i would readily accept that including deficiencies in governments including unhappiness with the time taken to deal with the current unstable environment. Was called hug is a whole goal we had to say which is the 1st time she has appeared carry lamb in front of cameras since this election on sunday and this overwhelming voice from hong kong people that are dissatisfied by the way shes handled the situation the crisis and why and the government quite frankly by voting for prodemocracy councillors in these local elections so that is really kind of the top line out of it now she. Issued a statement on monday pretty much very similar to what she said today that you know she hears the voice from the hong kong people that they are dissatisfied with the way the situation has been in this political crisis but the key here i believe is that what the government does to calm the situation saying and recognizing that people are dissatisfied with it is one thing actually doing something about it is another. Is the founder and convening of alliance for true democracy and joins me now from hong kong mr shanklin just begin with what was she said peoples dissatisfaction with the Current Situation of the deep seated problems in society should also went on to say that the government would listen to the opinions of members of the public humbly and seriously reflect the peoples dissatisfaction is not with is with government policy not with the sort of the deep seated problems in society and i would interpret that as robberies or broken homes broken roads in front or health care or issues of corruption its a very subtle deflection of the blame game is it not. Well so you have to offer some diplomatic statements but these are far from being satisfactory in the eyes of wrong and in the eyes of the prodemocracy movement it appears that her ministration and beijing are sticking to 109 the Chinese Foreign ministry has issued a statement emphasizing on cracking down on the violence. And so on the Chinese Foreign minister has indicated that whatever happens hong kong remains a part of china meaning to accuse the protesters of advocating hong kong independence so we do not see any serious concessions may. Raise and repeat the idea of some kind of commission of inquiry into the deep rooted causes of the crisis but this is not acceptable to the people of hong kong because at least he and investigation into Police Brutality must be included in the agenda of the even pary indeed there are. Needs and wants from both sides of the debate and of the arguments but the insistence at the moment certainly from the govern. It would be that there must be an end to the violence you to a certain extent need to allay the peoples fears that all issues will be addressed certainly from your saeed where is the middle ground what can be said that will allow both sides to you might say talk on neutral ground well you can say stop all violence and then we talk you have to say are let us talk and hopefully the talks will lead to when an end to the violence every man show on the part of the government at this stage must be lent to a process of reconciliation must be linked to a process of returning to normal c. Now hong kong people do not see the light at the end of that 10 because simply cracking down on the rioters on the protests will not lead to a peaceful resolution of the crisis and so far mrs lamb has the feels to be the prodemocracy legislators for more than 6 months and she has refused to see our Tertiary Institutions Student Union leaders so there is no dialogue with her you must 1st have a dialogue and with a dialogue you hope to end the violence if there is no dialogue and if the stalemate continues do you see the public coming back out onto the streets again. It is most likely if the protesters do not see meaningful concession from the terry lamb administration they may probably return to the streets although at this stage more than 5000 people have already been arrested so you expect the protests to be of a smaller scale mortice but unfortunately the left for violence of agree. Again. We see what happens in marriage as a trend thanks so much for joining us from hong kong. But more ahead here on the aljazeera news hour including the strongest earthquake to hit albania in decades topples buildings and kills at least 6 people also does libyan ward cleaver have to high level meeting with u. S. Officials signal a change of policy in washington d. C.

Aftershocks have jolted albania following a powerful earthquake that killed at least 6 people think 6. 4 magnitude quake struck just north of the capital of tirana Stephanie Decker has more. The earth shook while most people were fast asleep no ability to go home with. Me i felt it in my bedroom went to my kids room and a door slammed on me both my arms this is more or. The early hours of tuesday turned into a search for survivors some fatalities are being reported hospitals have been treating hundreds of injuries the 6. 00 magnitude quake with its epicenter 34 kilometers northwest of the capital tirana caused a few buildings to collapse its a 2nd earthquake to strike albania in the last few months the last one in september measured 5. 00 and damaged hundreds of homes Stephanie Decker aljazeera. Well earlier my colleague Martine Denis spoke to bizarrely better journalist and editor of b i r and albania thats the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network he says the emergency crews were more prepared compared to the earthquake in september. The demigods quite extensive across central bay now a major emergency crews are still digging with their hands with heavy equipment in the village of sumanda close to the center where 2 building collapsed also in the portal town of portal city of doors there is another collapsed building and theyre still looking for survivors there now wasnt that long ago and well say that albania had another earthquake small in this one it was in september and it that suggests therefore that there is a level of preparedness some months the authorities would you agree exactly i mean the reaction of the emergency crews that we saw in the capital today but also in the coastal town of tourists was much higher much more preparedness compared to the earthquake in september so this may help in a sense aides to the rescue considering that this earthquake is more significant that the one is to temper and what sort of happened what happens to communities when there is a an earthquake like this and obviously this one is more powerful than the last one in september but what what the communities do do they gather together do they need the advice and stay out of buildings where do they go well the 1st response hispanic and then everybody came out of the buildings their cup it took her out where i sit and people stayed outside spending the night. Lets say the Early Morning or late nights because the quake he could 5 oclock in in bar so they could escape the aftershocks and thats also come together relieve a little bit the stress there is been response by the authorities theres been calls to stay outside the schools have been closed and the results of messages of so there to solidarity been sent out by late people but also by the heads of state. Well in a few minutes well have the weather with chad still ahead here on aljazeera palestinians gathered to protest a sweeping changes in u. S. Policy. Of indias foreign sun into the capital thousands gathered to fight against efforts to kick them off. But its for russias taking problems could see them stripped of thanks to major Football Games here to explain. Some very bad news really when it comes to the conditions into Southern Europe just one system off another and of course has seen the flooding across into the southeast of france northern italy and now guess what because the same system has worked its way eastwards and now were looking at this this is connect about 50 kilometers to the west of athens and there was a huge torrential downpour which caused a flash flood that that in turn literally pushed mud down the hill size and you can see the damage that has been done now in terms of the rain coming over the next few days its not particularly heavy its widespread across the southeast and particularly another system heading in across western europe but what were seeing in many of these areas is rain coming in what we have got already some very saturated ground so choose day on into wednesday the next system works its way from the west heading across the u. K. The low countries across into france there over 70 warnings in place across the u. K. For flood warnings and watches for the rivers but then look at this because at the same day we have another system impacting the central med so again that means southeast fons and italy so we could have more flooding and then it all shifts east once again and all the time we get to thursday it is just a widely unsettled picture and of course we have some snow up to the mountains.

Also executives like knowledge the discontent with the territories pro china leadership a pro tem ocracy victory in a District Council elections. Says an independent committee will look into the causes of the months of unrest. Studiers are holding protests against the u. S. Reversal of its policy on israeli settlements there gathering in the occupied west bank and gaza israel and the Palestinian Land is considered illegal under international law. Washington said it was 2 israeli courts to determine the situation lets cross over to neither abraham who joins me now from. Why is there then this call for protest because the palestinians have been protesting against illegal settlements for decades. Indeed they have and they tell you that the situation on the ground hasnt really changed israel has been building settlements since 967 theyve been mushrooming whole across the west bank but this calls for protests came from the p. L. O. Factions who said that they wanted to respond to the u. S. Change of policy of course this is not the 1st time that the u. S. Has sided by the Israeli Government they have already moved their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem saying that jerusalem is this really capital this is also something that has been rejected denounced by many palestinians their leadership and they are saying that the Current Us Administration is siding by the Israeli Government giving their israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu one gift after another so the Palestinian Authority has given people half of the day off today students clinics and several Public Institutions have been closed so person is king participate in the protests so the one behind us now has moved from downtown double up to mid el settlements which is settlement which is a usual confrontation between the Israeli Forces and the Palestinian Protesters who of course need to add to that the palestinian prisoners also died in custody in israeli custody today how does that factor into you might say the anger that there is amongst the protesters. Theres been calls by many detainees families in x. Detainees in israeli jails that this day of rage should transform into supporting the issue of prisoners now 63 is stories 36 year old asemi about diac has passed away earlier today in israeli prison according to the Israeli Prison Service his family has been calling upon the Palestinian Authority even the jordanian king to help the israeli to help lobby with the israelis to release him to be able to spend his last days with his loved ones. Of course this did not happen he passed away earlier today this can be seen as something that would infuriate palestinians more and more however this israeli policy has been continuous they would tell you that there has been a lot of violations by the israelis that are going really unnoticed by the International Community so service would tell you that this is a way that palestinians can look up some steam can voice their rejection and frustration at the Current Situation but if you talk about the general picture it isnt going to change anything likely because they do you know you say the palestinians want to let off steam they want to make their anger notice not just domestically but internationally so one wonders and its not the 1st time that weve seen protests but do protests really make a difference to palestinian protests actually resonate beyond the borders of the occupied territories well the argument here is that palestinians have lost a lot of Media Attention and International Attention during what is happening at around in the region towards the civil wars and so on so forth so they feel that their. Cause has been put at the back burner really by the people by the media but even they would tell you that they have u. N. United nations resolutions by the Security Council and what have you and they havent been implemented so there is the deep feeling of frustration however weve met many protesters across the past few years and we asked them why do you do it and they would tell you that this is the only way left for us to do something so it is seen as a way for palestinians to show and continue showing their frustration but as we said before it might not really change the 2 ation on the ground with a premier in ramallah thank you. The u. S. State department has the nerve the told sunday several senior officials met with libyan ward cleaver have to and in a statement and said officials met with general Khalifa Haftar on november 24th to discuss steps to achieve a suspension of hostilities and a political resolution to the libyan conflict the frank discussions build on recent talks with tripoli based officials the aim is to establish a common basis for progress between the parties on the issues that divide them now these include concrete efforts to address militias and extremist elements and the distribution of resources so they benefit all libyans but who had has more from the libyan capital this meeting is according to many analysts. Resulting in a very strong statement calling on the warlord hafer hefted to stop hostilities and return to the peaceful negotiations to end the libyan crisis remember in back in april the sickest over state might promptly you called on have to. Retreat and to stop the military escalation in southern and tripoli and since then this is the 1st american statement to. Lake is said to address a stronger statement to have to stop the military hostilities and return to their peaceful negotiations but the question now is whether or not this meeting is going to take it will contribute to end the conflict in southern tripoli unless the United States will address the countries involved in fueling the conflict in libya like russia the United Arab Emirates and in egypt. Supporters of something phones here with Anti Government protesters for a 2nd night running out of the mole oppose protesters demands for a complete overhaul of the power sharing system where posts are divided on a sectarian basis some of the worst violence since protests against the ruling elites began. To move from beirut. Another night of violence linked to the political crisis supporters of hezbollah the 2 main parties in the governing alliance took to the streets again driving around the lebanese capital on motorcycles waving party flags chanting in support of their leadership they even drove by this protest site and what the anti political establishment protesters saw was another attempt to intimidate there is tension in the streets the night before those supporters of hezbollah attack this protest site what they did last night was attack the protest site in the Southern City of tire which is a traditional stronghold of those 2 parties really that protest site has become a thorn in their side because this tent within their own ranks is quite aware so the situation has entered a very dangerous phase many consider what happened last night as a message from the Ruling Alliance that were ready to use force were ready to resort to violence to protect our political power what the anti political establishment protesters have been demanding is early elections and an independent government a nonpartisan government but the Ruling Coalition says no that is not going to happen yes we will accept a number of independents in the next in the next government but there needs to be Political Representation so the political deadlock is this dangerous a deeply divided the society and in the middle are the Security Forces the police the army theyre walking a very fine line theyre trying to to remain neutral because if they are seen as taking sides then. Historically weve seen that happen they disintegrate and so this is the greatest fear right now lebanon entering this dangerous phase while this political deadlock continues. While flooding continues to hit the italian city of venice the city suffered heavy damage after being flooded several times in the past month has previously estimated that the repair bill the cost as much as a 1000000000. 00 joins us now from st marks square in the center of venice it must be heartbreaking for those that live there and even more so that a visiting to see the damage that has been cause what is it like at the moment. Hello yes absolutely the residents here have been crying out for something to be done for years if not decades trying and stop the damage caused by what they say of the cruise ships the giant cruise ships that have been coming here eroding the bed of the lagoon among other things as well to all intents and purposes there is this sort of normality going on in in fact you know the flooding the regular flooding that you see here is almost a new normal here as well but while you have jurisdiction and people here with shops and other businesses getting on with their daily lives its also part of the fact that sort of the residents here are extremely proud of their city and sort of market and and get involved the cleanup operations so there is really an efficiency that you see here as well and of course the Tourism Industry is one that keeps this city afloat as it were but really what the residents have been saying is that now enough is enough and that the authorities here they cannot turn a blind eye to what is going on here one of the issues that they also have with is this water barrier which has been built since the 2003 and was supposed to be completed in 2011 that was supposed to prevent these high tides of flooding the city like this that is a project called the moses project in fact but that project has been mired in corruption bribery scandals 35 people were arrested for their part in accepting bribes now the mayor himself has said that that project will now be completed in 2021 or 2022 however the residents say that the construction of project house is also to blame for the reason why the city sent to floods because they say that they have caused so much damage to the bat. By trying to construct these objects underwater as well and that has in fact caused the problem or that problem ironically which it was supposed to stop so they are demanding that that is hold to it and that all the alternatives are found poor says also the issue of Climate Change is while you have climate activists who also been protesting here recently as well saying their voices need to be heard and that various will be lost if nothing is done about it sorry for the moment thanks very much the update will continue to monitor the events of the water and the arguments about how to protect venice in the future in the coming hours thank you. Well stay on subject Climate Change is top of some voters concerns in britain where the general election is less than 3 weeks away instead of bricks it in the economy theyre worried about being flooded again trying to hold reports from south yorkshire. The flooding that hit doncaster in the north of england this november inundated homes and farmland affecting hundreds of people it should have been a once in a generation event no longer. For 2 years this. Is the environment. What sets these floods apart from the last time it happened in 2007 is that theres an election looming Party Leaders visited the area pledging billions for flood defenses Boris Johnson was criticised for his conservative government slow response and the green party says labors priorities are misplaced we have a Labor Council here and the Labor Council are. Worried about jobs and theyre thinking about Economic Growth and theyre thinking about expansion because jobs are thinking about building on green because it brings jobs they need to completely change that way of. And think about green jobs jobs going to benefit the community insulating houses putting in Green Infrastructure that kind of thing. Environmental activists talk about the plummeting election because the next government will be in charge of Climate Policy behalf of the coming decade within which the un says the world must act if its to avoid the worst effects of Climate Change there are signs of progress in may m. P. s declared a climate and environment emergency in response to protests by the activist Group Extinction Rebellion and the swedish teenager gretta tom burke legislation now also commits the u. K. Government to achieve net 0 Carbon Emissions by 2050 its great that were with now got this no 0 target in or when theres a question of whether it could be met sooner but the real danger is is that were not meeting the targets weve currently got her for next year 2021 are due to me that at this stage and what we really need to see now are the policies put in place to meet those targets as you say 5 years or the next 10 years a going to be crucial so whoever wins this has got to be at the front of their agenda opinion polls suggest more than 50 percent of voters are likely to be influenced by Environmental Policies the issue of Climate Change ranks higher than the economy for a majority of voters what if it was the correct plan which a lot of people think yes i think they would yes that might influence your vote yes yes. And thats the other big difference between 20072019 Climate Change matters jonah aljazeera doncaster.

Still had in sport i really want to keep going. To just tell me you know. Will have my memory as a documentary details his injury come back. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Thank you very much well the Anti Doping Agency committee wants russia banned from hosting all major sporting events for the next 4 years but it stopped short of calling for a blanket ban of russian athletes competing it follows an investigation into lab data provided by russia that was allegedly found to have been tampered with if the sanctions come in russian athletes would still be able to compete in events like the olympics but only under a neutral flag if they prove theyre not implicated now russia could be stripped to host a year of 2020 Football Games in the 2021 Champions League final what is executive committee will make a final decision on december the 9th well for more on this we can bring in our Sports Correspondent lee wellings hes in london and leigh this Russia Doping Program just isnt going away is it. Well this has been the biggest problem facing world sport for the last few years since of course these such Winter Olympics of 24th saying they were effectively poisoned its not going away and whats absolutely clear is that while the Compliance Committee have said that russia arent providing the data the reassurances theyre not sending out the message that russia is providing clean sport and clean athletes so that takes it into another area that so familiar the big world sports politics and the International Olympic committee play a big part in that youve seen them want to maintain i good strong relationship with russia whether they should or not is a different matter thats what thomas bach and the i. O. C. Want to do and therefore they found a way to circum navigate the issue by having these olympic athletes from russia theyre not officially under a russian flag but you know its a russian same its most unsatisfactory in this is whats most likely to happen that will continue through to tokyo and beyond by having russian athletes to complete their clean competing but not under a russian flag the fascinating thing about this is the issue of euro 2024 games in St Petersburg in russia due to take place members at all of the takes place across europe in 12 countries intriguingly actually the u. A. E. For heads of european football are not signed up to the water cunt favorites but you a for isnt and theres a loophole for vita to actually state those games for a russian team to take part thats all thats needed really for that to go ahead so i think you will see russia in a tournament you are likely to see games in some papers but because of that technicality but its an issue that paper im happy with and as you say its not going away yeah and its going to be unraveling a bit more in the next few weeks thank you well italian football american ballot tele has faced more racist comments this time from his own club fresh air but its how he was abused by verona supporters to.
