1:07 am
a fourth in office when the elections are held in march next year but no that was not to be the thirteen member panel of the central election committee decided twelve votes with one abstention so that they were going to. be from running against putin now the the argument they use is that he has this broad conviction and therefore is ineligible novelli has always said that although that may be the election rules actually the constitution which should have primacy says that any one of sound mind who is not in jail can run in the elections so he's going to take this to the constitutional courts to watch them to make a decision this was a heated exchange at times he was saying that the panel should do the right thing for once in their lives that nobody is holding a gun to their heads and that they should stop messing around with the election

1:21 am
aid in. the running. of the building. and then we have more. fears for her children she is also afraid that her family could face further displacement the government has been using what is known as the surrender or starve strategy and it is applying it. and . if given the choice to leave or stay and live under the regime's rule i will choose to leave i don't trust them they will eventually kill the oppressed us they started this they killed our children. rebels and refused to surrender but government pressure is growing already hundreds of thousands of syrians have been bussed out of their towns and villages and taken to the rebel controlled province
1:22 am
of in the north the syrian government calls them reconciliation agreements for the opposition those deals are forced settlements and. i don't think. those who are forced to go to will ever return to their homes this is sports displacement who knows who they will give our country to it's been almost eight years since government forces began to crush popular dissent from a position of strength the us and leadership is imposing its own peace but it is a peace that is unacceptable to many syrians who now fear not having a place in their own country. and living tough got to stand now where the parliament has summoned senior security officials after at least six people died in a suicide bombing in the capital kabul the explosion happening are intelligent agency building in kabul neighborhood the attacker reportedly approached the agency's entrance on foot before blowing himself up i still has claimed

1:24 am
carrying illegal arms. and vehicles with with no ridges thracian there is very tight security around the city even at checkpoints that are canine dogs searching vehicles but still these measures haven't worked in terms of stopping by our suicide bomber on foot who reached least close to the afghan intelligence headquarters thirty seven bodies have now been recovered from a shopping mall in the philippines city after val they were trapped on the top floor when a five hour account on saturday the fire chief described the mall as an enclosed space with no ventilation a criminal investigation is on the way. when hurricane slammed into the u.s. state of florida in september the damage was extensive since then much of the state has recovered but in one small farming community the daily struggle continues the
1:25 am
city of remarkably is almost entirely made up of migrant workers many of whom lost their jobs when the storm hit and the calico reports. turned a storm our house. had several leaks the roof was not strong enough to sustain that when when hurricane hit this poor farming community on the edge of the everglades it took maria because this roof since then things have become worse repairs of yet to be made government help has been slow and hackett's family home is full of mold like many here the family couldn't afford insurance it's hard even even though they give you extra food stamps or whatever to the migrants or whatever it is it's still hard baghdad i said there's twelve of us here and you know we have to split our food are you know you know we're lower our portion residents are almost entirely dependent on agricultural jobs but the storm took close to the loss of income and damage to homes is being felt across the community democrates community school
1:26 am
built for migrants teachers so even the children are being affected. by not having jobs them having money for them that's a lot of stress and sometimes they don't have money to buy the food so there's a lot of stress for the children's too if they're not eating well they have a hard time coming to school and in a city where more than half the population of thirty five thousand lives below the poverty line they used to fending for themselves. in the weeks following the storm teams of volunteers of handed out food and supplies and demand hasn't slowed we make phone calls as soon as we get product then and that different churches and different organizations show up and everything that comes in here it's not a warehouse it's a distribution center so as soon as it comes in it moves out it was a poor farming community before hurricane hit and once it's a media it needs have been met that's not going to change there was some government help there but what we've seen overwhelmingly is a community through it's just volunteers and members of society coming together to

get this place back on its feet i mean gallacher al-jazeera markedly florida. the world bank is warning that the economies of developing countries could collapse because of the rise of automation and robotics it's feared that robots making clothes and footwear will undercut the cost of human work as in factories in bangladesh in vietnam and his second report on artificial intelligence aren't sleek considers what the impact of automation might be for the world's working poor every day all over the western world goods are delivered to hungry consumers most of them manufactured home off a world away over the seas by people who often earn virtually nothing and while the fourth industrial revolution the age of robotics and automation promises radically to alter the lives of people in the rich world it is by no means clear whether any
1:28 am
of the benefits will be passed on to the world's working people some global brands are discussing whether to reach shore manufacturing from asian sweat shops to europe where three d. princes might make clothes or shoes the world bank has projected that in some african or asian countries up to eighty percent of people might lose their jobs. if it's true that many workers and many of them young women particular textile and software industries operatives are going to be out of a job or their work is potentially radically reduced then to what extent will this lead to social unrest to social destitution and essentially a fundamental crisis of the whole that society others ask why someone who owns a factory in the far east would bother investing in expensive robotic technology but it's far cheaper to keep paying workers a dollar a day to machine like that at the moment will be well beyond the reach of a factory owner in bangladesh or in china or vietnam for that matter.
1:29 am
secondly a machine like that is likely to break down fairly often because it's it's a very fine piece of equipment if it breaks down the whole factory and then many in a factory the entire factory comes to a standstill social unrest is already a fact of life it could get far worse so to the continued and probably growing movements of people except the west they may want to move to might be suffering job losses itself as automation takes over. if the future of the developing world is to be decided in places right there then frankly it looks pretty bleak either it seems robotics will increasingly be used to take jobs away from no three different associated with places like asia or those same workers will continue to exist on the same person for the ever and for years about the worst thing of all is that nobody seems to be talking about it there is however
1:30 am
a growing understanding of how automation can help in emergencies here at southampton university in southern england drones are being tested to fly medicines or food into dangerous or difficult places it's simpler and potentially more effective than throwing bags out of planes you can send lots of little bits of aid to lots of little areas and it's trivial and strike home. to pinpoint as in other words take the aid to where it's needed dropping it centrally in the rich world robotics could take away many current jobs but it could also create new ones which haven't even been trumped up yet but for those in the workshops of the world it could be disastrous and it's coming honestly al-jazeera london on cheese day in the next part of this series we let go of the wheel and the brakes you get to see lawrence driving into the age of early automated cars a. quick
