twenty eight at the moment down towards the southern parts of africa and here we've got the usual huge area of rain stretching from angola all the way across into madagascar very heavy showers out of this antananarivo is also seeing some wet weather and this stretching area of town and rain is still going to be with us during the day on monday for the south generally a lot brighter thirty degrees so hot to enjoy it back but there is the risk of seeing the old shower there and during the day on monday. there with sponsored by cats on everybody's. got something to talk about all the most about shooting people are not about to show and then all the countries of managed to solve this problem are you worried that this conflict could erupt into its own right open war that's the sort of security issue where the people who paid the price clearly the right top been prejudice setting the stage for a serious debate up front at this time on al-jazeera.

watching al-jazeera let's recap the top stories this hour anti-government protests are continuing in iran for a third day as demonstrators clashed with police many are angry at the side of the economy the rising cost of living and cuts to welfare benefits. but it has emerged from syria showing children being rescued from damascus suburb of eastern canada following airstrikes aid agencies this week evacuated twenty nine critically ill people including children from the rebel held areas as part of a deal with the syrian government and a funeral has been help for a palestinian man who was shot by israeli soldiers during

the conflict began nearly seven years ago but the war is not. the war. and what we're seeing. in some parts. there is the likelihood. of the almost a quarter of the country in the northeast for example is outside the state's control the mainly kurdish region wants a federal system for syria the government wants said it would be ready to discuss this but now it calls the kurds traitors for working with a foreign country and the u.s. decision to maintain a troop presence in the enclave has alarmed russia which says there is no legitimate reason for them to stay. the war is over but the focus is already on. russia's president vladimir putin.

for negotiations the russian talks. and now pushing plans to host the syrian peace conference in sochi russia's leader says he has the support of iran and turkey countries that are deeply involved in the conflict he also says syria's president bashar assad is backing the peace initiative that may weaken his powers but leave him in office for at least a few years with a. formed constitution now and. what we will likely see is a syrian not divided but the void in terms of spheres of influence it will be like a multinational company would countries holding shares and of course russia having the biggest share of political settlement is still a long way off for opponents of the government what is being discussed doesn't amount to peace but priorities have changed in two thousand and seventeen calls for us had to be removed from power were no longer heard western leaders now seem to be more concerned with working with russia to counter growing influence in.

a swimming pool some forty years ago removed about thirty meters away from a beach that no longer exists it's yet another undeniable example of how the ocean is eating away at much of cuba's coastline. a report prepared by the ministry of science technology and environment warns that by two thousand and fifty coastal levels will have risen twenty seven centimeters and by the end of the century it will be up by eighty five centimeters causing the island to shrink significantly. scientists argue the climate change is also provoking more frequent and stronger hurricanes flooding and at the same time prolonged periods of drought inland. the climate experts who prepared the report tell us a major action plan is being implemented to confront this new reality. we are applying new practices like planting corals to incur. recent reproduce coral reefs
