inflated, the fact that they have extended voting into a third day, is trying to promote sisi's election something to be a consensus among all egyptian voters, they would also like to see the high turnout enthusiasm, in the rallies of months ago. the security problems that have happened since the coup last year, that egyptians have become very frustrated not just the pull into sisi and so on. >> is this the active boycott or apathy among the population? >> certainly a bit of both. those who are specificallily

supporters of mohamed morsi and openly said that they splil simplsimply notare recognize th. some opportunity within the selection to try and appeal for some kind of a choice for egyptians have also cast their doubt how the election is run. express openly, given the climate of fear and oppression since the coup. >> given this extension and low turnout figures what we hear, what does this mean for sisi, has he lost are credibility because the of this? >> i think he wanted to come in with a strong mandate, to express his authoritarian views, regional powers have cast doubts over whether the future of

egyptian process, whether this is actually a signaling of return, legitimization take place both internationally as well as domestically. >> abdalla, thank you very much, joining us in the studio here in doha. madam fmohamedmohamed fahmyr mohamed and peter greste have been hold for months and a fourth, abdalla al shami,.

>> syria win holding its election on june 3. joining us live, telling us what the concerns, zehna of the people you have been speaking to when it comes the this election in syria? >> yes, as you know more than a million syrian refugees who live in turkey, for them the election is not a priority. as i can tell you, we saw two syrian families sitting on the side of the road, they had just escaped illegally into turkey. some cross legally, some illegally, their priority the escaping, this is part of a charade is what they are calling

it. a lot of them are growing helpless because they feel that the government is pushing forward with a military offensive, regaining territory. the rebels are bogged down in fighting, people feel the elections really mean that the election he will go long and there is no sort of political solution in sight. activists in turkey have encouraging people inside syria, those who live in government controlled territories not to participate ar in the election because they are taking partly in the bloodshed. >> a well-known syrian actor has created a, campaign, the syrian activists released videos

reiteratridiculing the poll. >> we want to basically try to get the people that had not very pro giamb regime, are we try to, stay add home, do not vote, do not participate in this election. because it does not represent all the are syrians. >> they cannot do much more than find humor in president bashar al-assad's reelection. convincing many to continue the have struggle. >> not joining the government, saying.okay, i don't want this anymore, i don't want the rest

of my children to die. i want to keep the $5,000 i have. i don't want to spend it on the revolution, i have already spent it on my house. i think that's what most of the people feel. >> so was ad nanan hadad, four months later they say they feel even more hopeless. >> this election is meant to bring more oppression, is meant to basically make bashar al-assad sound like he is the letting president of syria. and you know, this is going to have -- to worsen the situation, to make the world continue for few more years at least. >> jarah and hadad say the poll

will be no more than a show. he may stay in power but that is different than maintaining the power in a destroyed and divided country. so the syrian presidential vote is scheduled on june the 3rd. there will be only electoral ballots in -- electoral apology stations, overseas voting, many european and arab countries have banned voting from taking place in their territory. >> zanah hodad reporting for us. thank you. chooses to interfere in the country. says libya will become another afghanistan for the americans. the warning came as the u.s. sent another navy warship to the

region. because of security concerns and arnold campaign by militia has intense -- armed campaign by militia has begun in the last days. in donetske area, hodad habib is joining us from donetske area, to tell us about the situation as you understand its at the airport and whether the government is in full control now? >> well, the government saysists in control of the -- sais it's s in control however, a standoff is not over yet, as of last night and this morning again. there was sporadic exchange of

fire. even if the government is in control of the main terminal and the tarmac there, the airport cannot be opened to the public and there is still no access to that airport. it seems like the pro-russian fighters are taking a larger portion, as the checkpoints and the roadblock have become closer to the city. and alternatively people are especially worried, especially those who live near the airport. side roads people putting sand bags blocking access to these roads. we have seen others trying to take some very old weapons but this is the only thing they have to defend themselves. there are basically no one on the streets and most of the shops are still closed. >> hoda, i just want to move

away from the standoff and ask you if you have any information about the missing osce team members in donetske. >> well, we don't know more than what the osce said, is it lost control of one of its teams. it has about 100 monitors around the country. but one of the teams of several people, it lost control somewhere east of donetske. we don't know specifically where. they haven't had any kind of communication with that team for the last few days. but that's as much as we know. i think os osce had already had another bad experience when another team had been taken by the fighters in slovyansk and they had been held there a week at least. and the u.n. was trying to

negotiate of negotiate and didn't tell us where they were held. >> hoda, adjustment just a few o you were telling us about the standoff. does this indicate a new approach, a shift perhaps after the new president has taken over in ukraine? >> well, the new president hasn't taken over yet. the old president is still in place. an escalation in the will of the ukrainian forces to use more fire power. certainly those battles in and around the airport, they were using air and ground power. certainly i.t it did welcome hoe the separatists, around 40, 45,

some of them you speak to them, they say i think those numbers are much higher. the casualties on the ukrainian side of that front line and they are not able to retrieve those bodies. but certainly a very dangerous escalation in the conflict so close to the cities. >> okay thank you hodda for all the clarification. no running water and there's been an outbreak of scabes. we understand the french authorities are threatening to bulldoze it and reports of police actually clearing the camp. >> we are actually next to the camp which has been cleared of

the refugees. there was a tense stand offearlier but it does seem like police are negotiating with these refugees, to get on buses where they are going to be taken oa holiday camp. let me give you context to what's happening in france. this is nothing new for calais for those who want to get to calais. the center for immigrants was closed down. immigrants were sleeping in camps in the forest. was closed down and razed then. there are three or four camps and they basically take on different ethnicities, people

from eritrea and somalia and the syria camp where we are now. and there is a new influx of syrian refugees who really come here with nothing. if these camps are razed these refugees say they have absolutely incorporat nowhere t. still to come on al jazeera, ready to go at it alone? and now, a former hacker turns on his friends, that coming up in just a moment. a moment.

u.s. president barack obama says there will be less than 10,000 u.s. troops level in afghanistan. following year, half of those troops will be focused around kabul and bagram airport only. president obama is trying to wind down the united states own war. time for afghans to secure their own country. by the end of this year. starting next year afghans will be in full control of policing their own countries. no longer in control of towns mountains and valleys. that will be the task of their own people. >> first gauge for us how that

news was received in afghanistan. >> well, it's a different reaction here in afghanistan. people living in a country side in an area where they suffer in the war like south of afghanistan and eastern afghanistan, those people are welcoming the announcement because they think the reason of the war in afghanistan, but people here in kabul they are concerned that foreign forces would leave the achievement of 13 years, the achievement of women's rights, freedom of speech would be lost and afghan forces are not in a position to keep these achievements. remember, afghanistan has no army, has no air force. the if foreign forces might

leave this country these achievements mit be washed up with them. >> as you were pointing out, some people in afghanistan actually do blame the foreign forces for the state that afghanistan is in right now and some say there actually haven't been that many achievements. let me ask you about the pact that the afghanistan still have not signed. >> well, taliban is still a strong force. something three years ago it was very unusual and also taliban always in this war were saying that foreigner have the watch and we have the time. seems like taliban will be a big challenge for upcoming government to face. >> thank you. while he could have gone to

prison for over 20 years instead a notorious hacker turned informant has returned. to prevent 300 cyber-attacks by coming their mole. helping to arrest people who used to be his friends and now he has appeared at court to collect his reward. known as sabu, he was a member of now. sophisticated computer hackers using their influence to infiltrate companies and corporations around the world. shutting down the websites of veevisa and mastercard by refusg

to accept donations to wikileaks. >> his commitment as a foster-father was enormous and it was for him, you know, the choice to put his family first was just not a difficult decision. >> inside the courtroom the judge used the word extraordinary over and over again to describe monsegur's cooperation with the government. he helped prevent cyber-attacks, one against a water system of a major city. his case also raised questions about the government's conduct. one hacker now serving a ten year sentence said sabu encouraged him to collect information from foreign governments. monsegur said he wasn't the same person he was three years ago.

the information he helped gather could lead to other arrests. kristin saloomey, al jazeera am new york. trained as a spy and worked undercover overseas said with edward snowden. after taking 1.7 computerrerrized documents. >> i am a technical specialist. i am a technical expert. i don't work with people. i don't recruit agents. what i do is i put systems to work for united states. and i've done that at all levels from the bottom on the ground all the way to the top. now, the government might deny these things. they might frame it in certain things and say, oh well he's a low level analyst but what they are trying to do is use a position i've had in a career here or there to distract from the totality of my experience.

>> one person has been killed and six others critically injured. dominic kane ar reports. >> like most of these who died, this person was elderly and bedridden. fire struck just after midnight local time. most of the people would have been sedated. >> despite the hospital's initial rescue efforts, many people were sacrificed. >> it is understood those who died had been staying at the special ground floor area ever this building, many had dementia or were the victims of strokes. the cause of death was smoke

inhalation. second fire in the last few days. a blaze in the food court area of a bus terminal on monday killed eight people when precautionary measures failed to work properly. the authorities have said they believe this hospital fire was put out relatively quickly. but the number of dead and injured and the fact that they were effectively helpless when the emergency handy may lead to questioning how effective the emergency efforts were. called it a terrible thing. dominic kane, al jazeera. >> a spike in the number of cycling deaths in australia, a politician says, cyclists should be licensed. >> on a bike ride when a car plowed into all seven of them.

three cyclists including tony broke their backs. jillian's nerve were pulled from her arm. >> i just remember a huge whack. >> the number of people who use bicycles is falling, one answer could be a crack drown on cyclists. he is considering a world first compulsory licenses for cyclists. >> we have a license for car drivers with demerit points if they misbehave. we can apply it. but we have nothing with cyclists. >> but cycling enthusiasts say this would put people off cycling. much like mcdow, helmet laws.

he's a cyclist without a helmet, often stopped by police. >> it's the reason request it's not a good idea, because the reason is when helmet law came in less people rode bikes. >> mandatory helmet laws are blamed. less psych lir cyclers on the ru have a crash you would be better off if you are wearing a helmet, compulsory cycle helmet laws make it less liecialg you'll havlikely you'll havecrash the . its recommendation that the lauds be lifted on a trial basis was rejected by the state government. jillian and tony think their

hellments saved their lives but they don't want more rules either. cyclists they think are victimized anyway. >> you can find that story by andrew thomas as well as others by going to our website, aljazeera.com. shootings. we're looking at mental illness, the rights, reactions when someone you know may be a danger to themselves or others. that's inside story.
