copper are casting their ballots in the gulf nations. first legislative elections there electing members to the sure council. it is a 45 seat advisory body, and until now, all its members had been appointed by the amir. that 30 seats, or 2 thirds will now be decided by those is the council dates back to 1972. it's responsible for proposing laws to proving budgets and can even sac ministers that the emir still holds a veto power. there's varying levels of elected representation across the gulf, bahrain and oman hold elections for one house. there parliament's co 8 is often regarded as the 1st gulf monarchy to give substantial power to an elected parliament. tomorrow i shall jones now live from pulling station here in doha jamal . what's the turn out? been like, what have you seen there today? was been quite high, a relatively speaking, obviously without being a small population. however, despite that, there's been a constant stream of voters coming to this pulling station or in the center of the country capital. as has been the case in all the other podding stations across the country based on our reports. and what we've seen around lots of people have eagerly been participating in what is the 1st legislative elections in their history the 1st time any of these countries have voted in such an election? there have been elections for local councils, sir several years ago, but these obviously a lot more significant and for people who have been participating in them. there is a real sense of excitement that they have been given the opportunity to participating in choosing people who will be representing them in a body that will be drafting laws that will be looking at the countries budget. the will be overseeing ministers and their performance. that participation hasn't been limited to band, but also women, young people, we've seen all people as well. and that's something that a lot of people see has been a significant step in the countries shift towards a more inclusive form of governance cut out of trying to mall the unique different system. one that isn't like, for example, the absolute monarchies that exist in the region or even the military dictatorships in the art world. and one that isn't necessarily like the, or european sal democracies that are based on a different lobbies and political parties fighting for power. so this her v, v maiden kind of experience with that has so far appear to be very positive. i've seen a lot of their campaign billboards around the city, and there are a significant number of female candidates running in the selection. how important is the women's rights in cot? i indeed, the earliest 10 percent of the candidates are being a woman, but particularly not just in terms of the candidates. when you look at the participation, the way it's set up. as you have men on one side in the woman voting on the other side, and just as many have been voting and have been very vocal in terms of who they would be supported with the policies that they are pushing through the significance and importance. here is underscored by the fact that got out of has i tried to set an example with regards to him or empowerment. i'm in a region that sometimes has come under criticism for the lack of it. so whether that has been her by her, several women are filling senior positions within the states. so, you know, one of the examples that there was point to is that with regards to the biggest crisis that the world has faced over the past couple of years, or either corona virus. it is a health minister is a woman and she's been leading the response to that in terms of foreign policy. we saw particularly with regards to for example, janice than in the crisis over there. it was the system from minister little hartford who was leading there the fact that you know, a majority of a higher education, students and clutter. actually women is another statistic to point to so these elections are further verb. samantha, that idea that fema or involvement is important and it has been translated in terms of the number of women, not just running, but participating in this vault or at jamal. i shall in doha, thank you. the un has told c theo appears prime minister. it does not accept the countries decision to expel 7 of its senior staff. e p. o. p says the officials are being removed for meddling in the internal affairs of the country. the un says the decision to expel and staff could affect humanitarian operations. that helped more than 5000000 people in the area. and diplomatic editor james base has more from the united nations. for now, the u. n is not withdrawing the 7 high level members of its staff that the government of ethiopia say should be expelled from the country. the you and 2nd, general antonio terrace picked up the phone to these european prime minister, abbe armored of the you and says that it doesn't accept the principle of these staff on out persona non grata. and it is the long standing legal position of the organization not to accept the application of the doctrine of persona non grata with respect to united nations officials. this is a doctrine of the applies to diplomatic agents accredited by one state to another state. the application of this doctrine denied nations officials is contrary to obligations under the charter of the united nations. however, the ethiopian foreign ministry has doubled down, issuing a new statement, giving more details of what it says is the meddling by the 7th staff in internal affairs. it also says that a discussion of the issue by the un security council would be a blatant violation of its national sovereignty. but that discussion has taken place a closed session of the security council coming as it is now october under the presidency of kenya. a neighbor of ethiopia that has close relations with the country. i asked kenya's ambassador whether by its actions, ethiopia, now risk becoming a poorest state. the kenyan government in our delegation, certainly is, is not considering questions about paris, state or, or what the responsibility of him government is. we are considering all the statements, including some of the communications or from the foreign ministry by twitter. and we are on to noon to actively be informed and trying to be responsive to the situation as evolves. but we have every hope that it will r got in a positive direction. so what is the next step? i am told ireland is currently circulating the draft of a statement to all the security council members. all of them though, must agree before it is issued. the head of the world health organization is facing calls to acts after a report outlined the scale of sexual abuse during a bold outbreak. democratic republic of congo, 20 of more than 88 workers involved in the abuse and exploitation were working for the health agency. it comes after an investigation last year found to aid workers from several agencies exchanged jobs for sex rights groups are calling for an investigation into the killing of a promo for hing elidah, the world's largest refugee camp. the shooting happened a cox's bizarre bangladesh tanveer chandry has been speaking to people. there you say the devastated and fearful about our right and our security. our safety for years running a leader may able are regularly received death threats and predicted who'd be killed. like many other ringer refugees, mohammed cuts him says he feels devastated for years now. we've been watching and following my he bullet jammed to us is don't so much for us, but we couldn't save him. he took our case to the global community to seek justice for us mobile or came to prominence when he was chosen to represent his community on a visit to meet dan us precedent. donald trump at the white house and i turned the un human rights council session in geneva in 2019. this is the place where ro hang our community laid out my bill. i was shot dead wednesday night. there's a uneasy come prevailing in the camp and a heavy presence of security rang i ref. ridges are worried and anxious to find out who is behind the killing. a funeral was held for ma hibler inside the camp among those there, his wife and 8 children to lay that it isn't a thought he left. he was so much responsibility. i am devastated. how can i manage the family now? it's a difficult road to handle. i am scared to live here. now we need security as he is dead. now, only a luck give us justice. police say the murder was well planned. i'm of it will if it will be for unity a up under all police units are involved in resolving this case and finding the motor behind it. we got some important information today and detained the suspect. hopefully we will resolve this case. so in recent months, the office of the refugee relief and repair creation commissioner has severely restricted media access to the caucasus bizarre refugee camp. making it difficult to gather news, but it's clear, many refugees feel fearful and angry. part of the damage isn't that we're very worried about his killing. he was a leader in the community. he pleaded our cause to the world. canada, many who did not want to be identified on camera. told al jazeera that the murder is the latest example of a fight for power between armed gangs inside the world's largest refugee cam. john richard, ray al jazeera, could to prolong cox's bizarre people living in a small colombian town, say, an influx of mostly haitian refugees and migrants is pushing them out of housing, the migrants trying to catch boats on their way north to the u. s. alexander, i'm here to report from the town of nickel cli after week stuck in this beach town, a few 100 migrants. mostly haitians are finally able to continue their journey north that'll, while others scouting to scramble for a fairy ticket despite being told they're sold out until the end of october. and that's because neighboring, panama is only allowing $500.00 to enter the country each day. there's a mighty st juice in his family or among the lucky ones who are finally able to leave after a 45 day weight. i was like, yeah, a couple reasons and locals take advantage of us being stuck here. while a colombian buys a kilo a bryce for the equivalent in pesos of less than $2.00, they charge us 7 or $8.00. and that's just wrong. our 1st, why is worry now of having to cross the notoriously dangerous darian jungle only to end up being the port? it was hopeless. we know there's a lot of crime on the other side. armed thieves risk of sexual abuse. i have a family member that's been through that, but returning to not an option return to watch, i already spent $10000.00 to get here. i need to spend the same to return. like many haitians here he settled and she left her a devastating earthquake ravaged this country in 2010 the different on the crisis following co with push them back on the road. at least 22000 migrants are staying in a coakley. some can afford to stay in house as earl tales. others are forced to pitch tents on the beach to try to end this crisis. coleman, i'll tore these are now openly trying to dissuade the my grandson from continuing their journey, insisting on the risks that lie a heads, and also telling them that they will likely be deported if they reach the united states or even mexico. particularly calling for alison thought to stop the influx. the government has also ordered travel companies to stop selling bus tickets to migrants entering columbia from ecuador, florida. the scare tactics are working. some asians have decided to return to their host countries. none would go on camera, but they said they either ran out of money or are too scared to be deported. back to haiti, the way that it was almost 200 people are now returning every day and they're communicating to their friends and relatives that it's not worth trying to do this any more. with the news tightening around him, some are left with no option, but at mit derick temps of failed even when they have nothing to return to. i listen that i'm 50 and jesse it any quickly. it's been 6 months since the netherlands held elections and coalition talks are still happening after sundays election result in germany. many fer, it may be going down the same path, steadfast and looks at the complicated process of coalition building in european democracies. $197.00 days after voters in the netherlands went to the bolt. they were told it was only one coalition possible to avoid new elections, the same coalition they had before. one that was forced to step down in january after child care benefits scandal miss are you promised her quite so. elation talks after the elections. i can our own give reaction. i think this month will be a government now. the don't have little if the main parties managed to agree a new government based on the old coalition is expected in weeks neighboring germany where coalition talked have started up to sundays election. it's a similar scenario that's got to do, of course, with the political system and the fragmentation of the political system. also in germany, the biggest parking is now quite small as compared to what it used to be. and it's the same as we see in the netherlands. 19 parties are now represented in parliament in the netherlands in germany. they are 6 because of a 5 percent threshold to obtain seats. in 2017, it took 5 months to form a coalition in germany. in the same year, 7 months were needed to build a coalition in the netherlands. belgium holds the world, workers haven't taken 45 month to reach an agreement in 2011. many arch feel increasingly frustrated by lengthy talks being held while decisions on crisis like housing and climate are postponed. i think that it's ridiculous that it's taking this long and also the lack of transparency. we've had innocent i a process. i think it's as genuinely shocking. so it's embarrassing to that and only because some politicians don't like each other. our national interests and the interest of the photos are put aside. there's a democracy in full swing, with continuous talks and a variety of coalitions on the table. food for political pundits, but frustrating for voters who had hoped that the democratically elected politicians would stop making some urgent decisions by now. and some are wondering if this model of democracy, maybe outdated, political commentators fear the lack of transparency will lead to increasing distrust towards politics and politicians. i think it is a real problem and maybe you need to see how you can change the system if you really want to change the system, you need to 3rd majority and it's really hard to get a majority despite it's shortcoming. some say the current system still best represents different voices in dutch society, or he will say the made up for her like him, vomiting who, what you see in the netherlands compared to countries that have only 2 parties and only one party governs after the election is the policies changed completely after 4 or 5 years in the netherlands. policy is like a tanker that only slightly changes cause. and that means more stability with the netherlands and germany's coalition talked ongoing and france due to hold elections in april. some say they're concerned political stability in europe is becoming hard to find. step, fasten al jazeera, the hake in nigeria, more than a 1000 fighters from bach. her arm have recently surrendered, after infighting among the armed group authorities want to rehabilitate them and their families. but local communities don't want them back. i'll just there as i had just spoke to one former fighter, he requested we hide his identity. ah yeah, if you're going

mom she cow says. yeah, he is beyond reproach. when she cows fighters attack one of them, they kill every one they come across to them. they ripe burn them. bomb houses, markets mosques, momma nur disagree with the i asked him to stop out, otherwise i'd leave of that. so my manure, muhammad, you said sunlit that they contacted arsole, who advised them to break away alike. if you have it

them. i, dr. ambulances. after a while they took me to the midi department at the time, garza was captured that i was trying to film. i didn't, i worked as a medic say, a fodder and a general. so naturally when you return from such misadventure, not everyone will trust you and except you update. there are also people. let me take a long time. observe only before i trust you. again, the
