thank. you. ily. yes and live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the newsgroup the longest flight home after a treacherous journey abroad for thousands of nigerians the government orders the immediate evacuations of citizens from libya amid reports of abuse torture and

slavery al-jazeera is on the plane as the first batch of nigerians arrives back home we'll have an exclusive report on the war in syria as government troops first to reclaim the province from rebels thousands of civilians are caught in the crossfire at least twenty five people have been killed in the latest round of fighting in dozens of others injured aid groups say more than one hundred thousand people have been forced from their homes since that operation began and the deadly price off a loaf of bread protests break out of. over rising bread prices opposition groups call for the demonstrations off to the government and them unaided subsidies from its twenty eight budgets at least one test has been killed in sudanese security forces seized copies of newspapers critical of the government over the hikes we'll talk live to

a protest. and at the golden globes this year the red carpet turned black as a protest against sexual harassment within the industry. using it in st. elizabeth's breaks where live on air were also streaming online through you tube facebook live . well they were only trying to flee a war on poverty back home for a better future in europe but instead hundreds of nigerian migrants say they were trapped in a life of human slavery in their. been reports of rape of torture and forced labor or slavery and now the nigerian government is evacuating thousands of them back into their country. by the denise was on the first government flight to land in nigeria over the weekend and he is joining us now from to tell us what happens

to those nigerians now. well basically they're in they've been complained of systematic coarsest systemic abuses of rape torture and even killing there were people we talked to on on the ground and at the airport and even on the plane who said they were shot at they saw some of their colleagues killed and they were actually stricken by one problem or the other and that the abuse that just doesn't stop with the few people traffickers and government officials who turned a blind eye while these abuses are taking place according to these migrants it also happened with all happened within the migrant community where they sort of torture themselves kidnap themselves and seek for ransom so it's a wide spread problem across libya initially the nigerian government went to libya the delegation went to libya walking with a figure of five thousand five hundred people but what they realized that the

magnitude of the problem was so much that the following affairs minister and the delegation had to spend more days visiting so many detention facilities in one detention facilities before we reached there we were told that there were only just three hundred and sixty five people but immediately these were brought out this said there are more people inside the building more people are brought out and they said have you seen any ladies or women or children among us there are women and children inside the the detention facilities of the law the minister insisted and then that they brought more by the time we tried to count how many nigerians were actually there was reached the eight hundred and sixty mark and still counting and when those came out they said there are still more inside the prison and the minister was visibly angry so the problem is very huge and some of these migrants are actually trapped in rebel held areas negotiations to get to them would prove another difficult situation but all the same

a lot of them are happy that they're going home but these are the first timers those who have been there before who have seen it all intend to go back anyway. a cramped office in the center of tripoli is the only decent place these nigerian teenagers have seen in years they left home with promises of a life of opportunity and comfort nothing prepared them for what followed in libya joy is not her real name she says she was sold for one thousand one hundred dollars to buy have freedom she needed to pay around two thousand five hundred dollars last week she and her friend saw a chance to escape from there by air and they took. her to a guest reference so our minds we decided to run we jumped for his very high friends as minds so we ran. around going to see it simulates

keeps iran libya she told us many like car have been killed for the flimsiest of reasons someone who was sold for less than two hundred dollars in libyan sleep markets this if ten year old was promised a job as a tailor in a fashion house in italy on reaching a transit destination in libya she ended up as a domestic servant why she says she was abused by her employers and want me to be white people people the much treated me dig didn't give me my salary didn't even see my passport says everything about me it would be people dad brought me here they neglected me libyan security forces say these nigerian woman who's been living in libya for seven years is a people trafficker she was alleged to have kept more than eighty goals as sex slaves but officers say as well as nigerian traffickers there are also libyans and some europeans in the trade. the nigerian government team on a fact finding mission in libya say they are shocked at what they saw and heard it

talked about the various abuse systematic endemic and exploitation of all kinds i challenge to the senior officials as to the discrepancy between the numbers you know they came up with all kinds of not very convincing excuses this played into a narrative that we had been. told about that indeed. there are obviously interests that wanted to keep as many of them there as possible because they were commodities the delegation was told there are fourteen detention centers in libya other reports suggest they may be as many as thirty holding as many as forty thousand nigeria's the nigerian government is preparing for an influx of rita and. the first government flights to go from tripoli carrying five hundred nigerians the few over the mediterranean and the sahara desert tracing the route

where hundreds of travel companions died in that attempt to reach. for most of the migrants on this flight it's a mixed feeling of being free at last and that of disappointment they've been through so much over the past years they left with such promise but how to enjoy a lot of pain indignities of slavery torture and rape despite the hardships and dangers thousands more nigerians i sure like to attempt to judge in europe and deal . with nigerian migrants in the skies over the. well let's just pause for a minute and take a closer look at what's been happening on the libyan coast itself so in the past year nigerians have been the largest group of african refugees and migrants who are making a stop in libya across and say europe well libya is the main transit hub for people from africa attempting to reach southern europe by sea and they're coming from countries like nigeria as you're hearing eritrea guinea ivory coast senegal so don

and so malia since july last year the libyan coast guard and navy backed by the european union started blocking their arrivals leaving large numbers of them trapped in dire conditions without food or money the power vacuum in libya after the fall of moammar gadhafi has also made human trafficking and people smuggling a booming trade let's bring in amnesty international's nigeria director osei chico to discuss all of this thanks for joining us on al-jazeera i suppose the the most obvious question to you is what's driving so many nigerians so the even such numbers from their country and take such risks. yes thank you very much it's just the situation many people found themselves one to say seen quite a challenge in ten so so should make life and for many people they feel the only option they have is to leave the country you know that's a secret better life

a better opportunity now to provide for themselves achieve the s.p. ration and send back money to their loved ones back in one tyria we saw the nigerian government in that report that exclusive report by ahmed the duties and their flights to collect them from libya we have a facebook viewer comment nixon saying as they evacuate the city the citizens the nigerian government should also put measures to reverse the trend of these migrations are you seeing any policies that are being put in place on behalf of the nigerian government that will stop nigerians from leaving i think it's really good that in nigeria and government was able to act to deal with the immediate need to ensure these people as safe from the horrifying experience the hat and we need to go beyond just a short provision which has been made which is to evacuate them to

a place of safety transport them back to their respective homes wherever they may be and one to react and to provide some sort of welfare package. a lot has to go in tents of dealing with the long term issues as well as the root causes for the bush economic downturn that we've actually experienced in the country and if you take a look small then short fix you know that's a get these done and it's a develop our leaders really go home and say i'm being addressed as well as when you speak about long term effects efforts rather what can you elaborate on that. yes so for example many of the people in terms of profiling you find a young people and these are people who could not find jobs or was living in a situation whereby they live from hand to mouth so it means that there must be

a maybelline environment in which people's business is contrived in which the private sector as well as public sector can create jobs that young people cannot life'll and which are sustainable because we experience experience in a situation whereby they're not just enough jobs to go around and even for those who i imagine and to pretty near all the the environment is challenging the number of forms you need to fill in that at the set of the business you know that's the drive to change and the infrastructure when you talk of electricity you talk of power you talk of access to water and several factors that you need another to ensure that your business take off have been challenge in security is also a big issue which the government has been tackling for a long time but it seems things are escalating rather than improving and so while it's very good that the government has taken steps to ensure they can repatriate

one theory and swell of being caught up in this crisis back to the country it still needs to address the root causes and put in place mitigating. factors that can actually be viewed the suffering improve social welfare so that people know that even if they asked still looking for their next opportunity they can live world they have access to public health care facilities the after access to clean or your time for family. business sense of the abuse that our reporter was able to unveil in that report from speaking to some of these nigerians in libya how would you describe what what they've been through. i think it's very shocking it's basically in this time and age where we've actually gone ahead in terms of technological advancement in terms of when then that people

have been subjected to this kind of abuse and also to numbers of people what true premium and even those who have returned in recent he is still trying to go through that route shows that a lot needs to be done in terms of the orientation of people as well as to create. a sense of hope for people that is better for you to be at home and strive to walk in this environment than to risk your life going through this trance you treat and be subjected to torture and all that kinds of each treatment and abuse ok we thank you very much for joining us from abuse and giving us your point of view thank you well on an earlier episode of counting the cost al-jazeera takes a look at the abuse exploitation and trafficking of african refugees and migrants who pass through libya trying to make their way to europe so you can head to our

home page click on shows and then had to counting the cost and watch this episode migrants for sale slave trade in the bia we're getting a lot of viewer comments on this particular story so do keep them coming you can send them to our online platforms where on twitter. or news grid. us that is we're also on facebook at facebook dot com slash a day news grid and you can send us a whatsapp at plus nine seven four five zero triple one one four nine and just use the has tag a j news grid. now to the war in syria that's where thousands of civilians are caught in the middle as government forces press to retake one of the largest rebel controlled areas that's left in the country aid groups are saying that people are battling a harsh winter as they try to escape the northwestern city if it's near the border with turkey that's also a name reports on the human toll of this offensive. the

sound all too familiar to many syrians as the war enters its eight year concern in italy province is just how large the scale of the death and devastation could be. syrians here remember what happened in two thousand and sixteen when government forces regained control of aleppo once syria's biggest city. but i don't know that the mold i will step will bashar we will look leave we will die in syria we are all civilians why do they do this then america then the arab league then the security council i don't think it is the largest remaining rebel stronghold in syria during peace negotiations it was designated a deescalation zone or safety than for civilians. it's been anything but since the government began its offensive in october to recapture the province civilians have been killed in increasing numbers one of the latest attacks

was a car bomb explosion on monday killing at least thirty people. in the last week alone the turkish human rights group i h h says more than one hundred thousand people have been forced from their homes and the problem in this is. the story of. the syrians it's basically a region agreement on the first one. the syrian observatory for human rights says in the last two weeks the government has regained control of sixty villages in libya including singe on. the field but that's just becoming we have liberated singe are fully and this is since our school and these are grain silos senor has been liberated from the gangs of job out on the road. the syrian government is keen to make gains in northern syria the kurds control all but a small area of territory in the north and dream of it becoming their homeland

they're also hoping for a seat at the negotiating table during russian sponsored peace talks later this month the success of those talks is already in jeopardy more than forty rebel groups including previous attendees say they won't be going natasha going to al-jazeera well a lack of basic services and drinking contaminated water is also giving rise to water borne diseases doctor is saying hepatitis cases and camps are now a concern elizabeth hoff is the world health organization syria representative and she talked to al jazeera earlier saying despite challenges they are working at addressing the problem now this is not dr beach and besieged it cost the company and of course. something like a titan just a whole lot of who what and who didn't want to see this. because actually the number of cases in two thousand and seventy has.

cost me in two thousand and six to twenty two of the suspected cases in two thousand and seventeen well swear in syria the army has now reclaimed the military site on the outskirts of damascus from rebel forces the government forces had been besieged by fighters since last month you can head to al jazeera dot com for more on that operation and check out this article which you'll find on our home page rising food prices has led to a string of protests in sudan related to a sudden increase in the price of bread and other basic food items and are suppose a social media producer with more on that story. well police fired tear gas on student demonstrators at the university of khartoum on sunday one of several areas across the country that have seen protests over the past few days other rallies took place in three southern cities and elsewhere in the capital where demonstrators burns hires and blocked some roads tear gas we know that

a student was killed in a demonstration in west dar for state and we've seen other images of protests shared by groups like the sudanese congress party that's one of the largest opposition groups which called for the demonstrations to take place now the s.e.p. says that their president omar al dig era has been detained as well as several other party members as a crackdown on the demonstrations and at least one sudanese official has denied any link between the protests and what is known to be a increase in bread prices and says that force will be used to suppress any protests that involve destruction of property now just looking at bread prices for a second day more than doubled this week after the government cut subsidies in the twenty eight hundred budget and decided to stop importing wheat from overseas foreign manufacturers have also raised prices of fifty kilos a sack of flour used to cost about twenty four dollars and now it costs sixty four

so bakeries have been turned double the price of a loaf of bread and with inflation running at twenty five percent many sudanese families are feeling the pressure in an effort to contain this story in the protest sudanese security services confiscated the entire print runs of six newspapers on sunday after they criticize the government over the the rising cost of bread now two of them are what's on an album don are links to opposition parties but the rest of them the other four are independent newspapers but this isn't the first time that the government has gone and just collected all the copies of critical positions now sudan is one of the worst countries in the world in terms of press freedom it ranks one hundred seventy fourth just ahead of vietnam and china in the world press freedom index you see here media there are frequently targeted for the reporting on stories like this now if you're watching us in sudan do send us your thoughts you can get in touch using the hash tag a.j. newsgroup or tweet me directly i'm at. and you think you are let's speak to a better indian summer who's joining us from kind of to me he's

a student protest or he's also an activist and before we start i'd just like to say that we did reach out to the government in sudan to join us as well but they had declined by the dea and thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera so the government and sudan would simply say that they're following recommendations by the international monetary fund recommendations to bolster the sudanese economy so why the protests and the demonstrations. first and foremost to me that's a question you have to first know what is the international. diet math and what bank is one forty three for me then and the protest is relevant to the reforms itself they formed of diet and matter of the sudanese economy have two sides size is to cut defense of the government and the second one is to

liberate the prizes and to capitalize that the economy which is this is this it is government is just following the second side it's kind of the budget of their defense of oh me or the national security. minister is all what this it is government is doing is raising the prices and substitutes and. tend to support from the people can you tell us how big those protests are right now or how big you intend to make them what we understand is they are now limited perhaps to southern cities and in the heart to him is that correct. yeah it's not limited to southern cities only there's lots of protestant and just zero meant any. similarity to the magazine yesterday

and to date also in costy even if we can count the lives that have almost half of the citizens that have protested now but the protest itself is not that big because it's being treated in a very hard and violent way are you not and sir and that this could spiral out of control and could perhaps lead to a situation that so the country witnessed back in twenty thirteen when dozens of people were killed at that time over protests as well it is working to the same role of digital twenty said the protest it is walking into the same road because the government wouldn't discuss the issue of the budget it is a political body must and want to discuss it with the people and the raising the prices have just come suddenly in the night no one was expecting this huge amount of praise in the price of fuel of we don't bread of everything and besides

the reason the price is this comment is i'm not a variable in the might be a variable of the capital body but not in the other cities so how many cities are coping then on the ground with these price rises just just give us a sense of how people are coping the lot how people are coping with the rise in prices people are talking about certain demands which is. stop in this budget. stopping this treatment of the government to the people with this way is cut in the military budget cutting the national security budget with she is already taking more than seventy percent of the two thousand and eighty budget and of all supporting the basics of the life of the people so what we're going to spend for the protest movement what are your next step they sent commands of the people of

stopping this crisis in the prizes and of all of its the government didn't do a lot of people looking for people who looked over to their g ok there's a tendency but that edina salas we thank you for joining us from sudan and giving us your point of view thank you. well during the break for our facebook viewers you'll take a look at a new game that features the complex through metric patterns of islamic art us from europe on the newsgroup the potential health concerns of gadgets key apple investors the company to take action over children's smartphone addiction argument .

hello there the weather is mostly fine across many parts of the middle east at the moment a lot of this grayness on the satellite is just the satellite misinterpreting the cold weather but this area of cloud here that's real clout and that's gradually sinking its way towards the south and it is bringing us a fair amount of rain and a fair amount of snow too so do expect quite a bit of heavy snow there in the northern part as we head through the next day or say that system then gradually edges its way eastward strong winds on it as well as we head through wednesday further south a fine and settled here twenty degrees the maximum in kuwait and further west beirut will be a pleasant eighteen the further towards the south as just the tail end of a system making its way across doha so i could just squeeze out an old shower but i think it's highly unlikely that it will get to around twenty two or twenty three degrees over the next few days will be dropping down to around fourteen or fifteen at night for the south is a bit cooler than it has been for since the lala now will be getting to around twenty five which is seventy seven in fahrenheit for the southern parts of africa we've got some very very active weather head mostly thanks to

a storm that's gradually waking making its way towards the south it's given us torrentially heavy downpours in the eastern parts of madagascar has given us flooding here but it's clearing away and there's just a few residual showers force on tuesday. al-jazeera explores prominent figures of the twentieth century and how why have always influenced the course of history beginning with the giants of the struggle for civil rights the method of nonviolent resistance they've lost over the web of veil of those who oppress people have a look at pink and continue to make roles to be defensive that's what they mean by the south. and martin luther king face to face at this time on al-jazeera when the news breaks members of the knesset israel's parliament setting a higher threshold for any future attempt to give up any parts of truce and the

this is what's trending right now on our web site the most read articles top spot. blood rustics awarded the forces of the saudi crown prince to read more about the day's other top stories on al-jazeera dot com. you pressure on apple from some of its biggest investors over the weekend two major shareholders who control two billion dollars worth of its shares sent a letter to the company urging it to address concerns over smartphone addiction in young children the letter says paying special attention to the health and development of the next generation is both good business and the right thing to do and here is why they cite

a study saying sixty seven percent of the teachers surveyed found the number of students distracted by digital devices in classrooms is growing seventy five percent of them say students' ability to focus on studies has decreased the letter also references this worrying statistic us teenagers who spend five hours or more a day on smartphones are a seventy one percent more likely to have a risk factor for suicide ninety percent of teachers surveyed say number of the number of students with emotional challenges have also gone up before on this let's speak this acknowledging writer glen moody joining us from london thanks for joining us so how much pressure does this put on apple. well i think it's the start of an increasing amount of pressure and i think what's really important about this is that it's the beginning of a realisation that we've created these fantastic tool to fantastic objects that are

now having an immense impact on society knew particularly young people and now people start to realise that there are implications of us on the companies that make these products and the provide the services like facebook do actually have a responsibility to ensure that they are used in the best way possible some may argue this research is not definitive and that in any case it's up to the parents to ultimately take responsibility for what they're a young children are doing and how they choose to spend their time yes i quite agree i mean the parents are are the ultimate judge of what the children should be doing and the people with the most power to change that but i think it's important remember that because of the very fast changing nature of technology parents are very often not really very well versed in that technology and find themselves somewhat adrift and so what this letter rightly focuses on i think is asking the experts like apple are the companies to provide the tools that will enable parents

to watch over their children with a bit more control a bit more fine grained ability to see what they're doing and to control it i understand your points about this putting pressure on apple but i just really wonder how much wiggle room apple. how much apple will be willing to go ahead with trying to find some sort of changes because they make money by engaging a users for a long period of time. you're right but again the letter is very shrewd in its analysis because it points out that apple actually isn't in the business of getting people addicted to using these services as much as possible they just want people to buy that phone is more problematic for companies like facebook because you're right facebook and google and the other software companies that provide the services online do want people to be online as much as possible so apple actually is in quite a strong position to take a slightly more elevated and socially sort of conscious viewpoint and say well we

agree with parents and these are things we're going to do can there be ethical designs to products at all in your opinion i think so i mean as we know software is immensely powerful and that's the problem here this software and they are the various services available are just so good that people all becoming addicted so i think you can certainly pose them as technical problems to be solved now there are only limited things that apple itself can do for example it can limit the amount of time that children spend on their devices or it can limit access to particular services ultimately i think it's going to be companies like facebook and google and twitter and all the others that will have to get involved to provide a much finer get grained control so that parents can stipulate i know something ridiculous like you can only send three hundred messages a day because if you do that kind of thing then children will begin to realize ok i'm is limit what i'm doing so i get the full benefit of it and you're fairly

saying that it's a social media apps then that keep everybody connected. i think so because we've seen over the last year the social media is actually having a massive impact on the whole of society particularly in the political context where we find out the the advertising that drives social media and let's remember the social media are free because of the advertising that is put on them and that's advertising having a big impact on society in all ways so i think the concentration ultimately will be on the social media because and again that's what children like doing i mean they really love social media up so i think this is really about that but shrewdly it's using apple as a kind of proxy to do with us ok glenn moodie we thank you for joining us on the news get on al-jazeera well let me draw your attention to techno speaking of technology it's a series exploring how the latest scientific and technological discoveries are changing our lives as you just heard it's on al jazeera dot com well one story

that caught our eye earlier in the day was that iran has reportedly banned english in primary schools following a warning by the supreme leader that such early learning could open the way to a western cultural invasion and you've been looking into this what should we make of this. well let's look here this is not the he's the head of iran's high education council and he gave an interview where he reminded schools in iran of a ban on teaching english in primary schools because he says in primary education the groundwork for the iranian culture of students is laid out the ban itself is not new but the comments were picked up by the reuters news agency and several other outlets including the guardian and the new york times but two things about this story stood out for me one the pushback on the reporting from iranians who've gone through the educational system there and also how this story is being used it's true that the supreme leader has publicly opposed the teaching of english in nursery schools but he made those remarks back in twenty sixteen english however is

still a big part of the curriculum something that. points out here it's widely taught in fact for most students from seventh grade until graduation so others have taken the story and gone to twitter to post their own lessons and experiences and taking english after school classes and their exposure to western pop culture that's what helped them to learn english but because of the protests summer reading it in a certain way or framing it in a certain anti iranian narrative some of the most popular posts related to this story come from conservative outlets like fox news as well as the daily mail which have linked it to fears of quote western cultural invasion but iranians are actually very well educated in fact iranian americans have more master's degrees in doctorates than any other ethnic group in america that's according to an mit study and its cabinet is said to have the highest number of us university graduates of any cabinet in the world so we're interested to hear what you think about this

especially if your country limits access to foreign language within the school system has cultural protectionism worked for you let us know andrew thank you for that will cross over to london now our bureau in london with more of the international news of my animosity. that's right thanks very much terry in the body of a crew member has been recovered on board the iranian oil tanker that collided with a cargo ship in the east china sea thirty one all those still missing a tanker was carrying about a million barrels of oil and there are fears that it could now explode leading to an environmental disaster and one call reports concern is growing that the burning tanker could explode and cause an environmental disaster if the ship sinks around a million barrels of oil products could be dumped into the east china sea so far the spills been contained by emergency teams the iranian tanker was sailing from iran to south korea when it collided with

a cargo ship off the coast of shanghai late on saturday the twenty one crew of the hong kong registered c. of crystal was soon rescued but most of the crew of the old tanker remain missing and according to iranian authorities only one body has been found china's foreign ministry says who's to blame for the collision remains unclear which is should we hold on we are currently still investigating the cause of the accident we are also very grateful to other countries who actively participated in the search and rescue work of these maritime accident the tank i had one hundred thirty five thousand tons of light crude oil on board based on tonnage the accident has the potential to be the worst environmental disaster since nine hundred ninety one when two hundred sixty thousand tons of oil leaked of the coast of angola imran khan which is a french president has vowed to move europe's partnership with china into the twenty first century in his first state visit the world's most populous country

that chinese president xi jinping in beijing and started his trip in the ancient capital channel urging china and the e.u. to what together to share the benefits of increased trade and to find ways to deal with the challenge of global warming. you know. it is and it's up to europe and asia to france and china to define and come up with the rules of a game we could always win or lose i have come here to tell china that i am determined to move the euro china partnership into the twenty first century so that it fits in this new framework that we need to define together europe will embrace this new strategy because it is now aware of its role and its place in this century it will get involved on all of the main topics yes my friends what i have also come here to say is that europe is back all that the gal is a director of the china national association of international studies he says relations between france and china have become even more important since the u.k.'s

decision to leave the. traditionally china has attached a lot of importance not only to u.k. but also to france and germany in europe and china french relations have always been very important falls in terms of trade economic relations but also in terms of political relations the two countries share actually of many similar views on international relations both france and china are permanent member states of the security council of the united nations and the two countries have been courted it he led positions are many important international issues for years and i hope with bracks it happening as we speak china french relations will remain very strong arm and will take on new time measures going forward because france and germany for example remain the two most important e.u. member states as far as china is concerned. and all the news in chips former prime

minister ahmed shafik has ruled himself out of this year's presidential election just six weeks after announcing his candidacy was widely seen as a serious challenger to president abdel fattah sisi a new york times report says the government may have encouraged him to withdraw it came from the latest in a series of leaks as demolish a our reports despite being arguably the most powerful institution in the country europe's military intelligence appears to have its weaknesses on sunday the new york times said it had received order recordings of form calls made by a military intelligence officer the leaks are just how the army tightly controls and directs media outlets in egypt. in the recordings an officer named a chauffeur who really makes a number of calls to talk show hosts and other famous present instructing them on what they must say in the wake of president donald trump's controversial decision to recognize drucilla as the capital of israel by beloved dog and i'm letting you

know the position of egypt's national security regarding the issue of declaring jerusalem the capital of israel there have to be compromises if you reach a point where jerusalem becomes the capital of israel and ramallah becomes the capital of palestine in order to end the war and avoid more death and we could probably do that aside from showing how egypt under president opted for the has sisi is apparently willing to accept and supports israel's illegal occupation of jerusalem the leaks also demonstrate just how little media freedom there is transcripts of a second set of audiotapes were published in the new york times on monday this time focusing on the upcoming presidential elections in egypt in these clips the same intelligence officers heard talking about former prime minister ahmed shafik who had announced his intention to run for president she feels desire for the top job led him to be placed under house arrest and then deported from the united arab emirates where he'd been living in exile his lawyers say he was detained as soon as

he landed in cairo coincidentally on sunday evening shift tweeted that he was withdrawing his candidacy just twenty four hours before egypt's electoral commission was due to publicize the timeline for the twenty eight thousand election this isn't the first time a leaks of emerge from deep inside egypt's military intelligence in two thousand and fourteen polls involving sisi himself were made public including recordings of how the united arab emirates funded and orchestrated the protests which paved the way for the military coup in egypt five years ago. for some the recordings further prove how cc's egypt controls the media doesn't support the palestinian struggle for liberation for others it simply confirms what they've normal along either way it's a reminder that even the most feared security apparatus inside you dropped has its weak spot. and israel says its restored full power supply to the gaza strip after the palestinian authority agreed to resume elektra's city payments

allison and president mahmoud abbas withdrew payment guarantees in april last year in an attempt to loosen the grip of the ruling class posse it left gaza's two million residents with only three or four hours of electricity a day to move over store an additional fifty megawatts of power to the strip and could raise power delivery to six hours a day so we have very happy about the news because we can't finish any jobs we currently receive electricity around two hours a day and there is not enough time to finish any jobs we can't finish baking all washing clothes we can't finish anything i have will from london in about fifteen minutes time now back to daryn mary i will see you then thank you all four years ago detroit's became the biggest city in american history to file for bankruptcy today it's undergoing an economic transformation but that wasn't the people still remain homeless and that's a problem right across the united states but now detroit and

a few other cities are experimenting with a surprisingly simple solution as you can see john hendren explains. detroit is a city of many ironies the streets of the motor city are largely empty what was once the fourth largest city in the u.s. could fit boston san francisco and manhattan into its footprint but no longer makes the top twenty in population and since more than half of its two million residents fled after the one nine hundred fifty s. it is a city of both thousands of abandoned homes and an epic level of homelessness but a faith based charity here has a small solution to one of detroit's biggest problems tiny houses a reverend fittingly named faith has written the book on the if you could leave your children the way my parents left to me and the sky's the limit i mean you really could become middle class that's the happily ever after that. right now in

august detroit's cast foundation built the first seven homes from bungalows to frank lloyd wright style to tutors that low income buyers can pay off at a rate of two hundred fifty to four hundred dollars a month in just seven years for keith dean who spent twelve years in prison home means a fresh start and. twenty more tiny homes like his are going up here this year across the us. areas like detroit but now there's a movement with cities from san francisco to new york building tiny homes like these to give a little piece of the american dream to many who have stopped dreaming since motown came roaring out of bankruptcy downtown glitters and rents are high but here and across the u.s. homeownership is at a fifty year low detroit doesn't have. a housing shortage problem.

so far diminutive. play only a small role. in solving a colossal problem i'm able to come here with your key and close the door in the madness. but for those now living in close quarters all the room it's a big deal john hendren zero detroit well the seventy fifth edition of the golden globes have been held in los angeles the famous award ceremony celebrated what's best done in the movie and t.v. industry and while it's also famous for its glamorous red carpet this year there was a tristan through that's right during this year the red carpet turned black as many actors filmmakers and producers decided to wear all black to protest sexual harassment inequality in the entertainment industry and several high profile cases such as the dozens of accusations against producer harvey weinstein last year the

process has the skinny the protests as part of the me too and time's up campaigns led by many familiar faces but the speech that took the award for the most talked about is surely the one by oprah winfrey the t.v. host actress and c.e.o. was the first black woman to win the golden globe lifetime achievement award she said the time's up for inequality for too long women have not been heard or believed if they dare to speak their truth to the power of those min. but their time is up so i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is rising. thank you thank you thank you thank you don thank you were that you because it was a magnificent women. who was here in this room tonight thank you

god the the i think you're on to make sure that thank you come for the readers can take us to the time when the id ever has to say me. again thank many others online have joined the protests with the hash tag why we wear black such as a t.v. series creator gen keaton robinson who told everyone who survived sexual harassment and or sexual abuse we believe you while the actress jessica chest pain chimed in to say that she wore black for equity parity safety and equality and inclusion on the other side many have also criticize this movement in the protest saying that it's just for show this user here saying that hollywood should wear black to mourn their complacency silence and shame for sheltering the abusers we'd love to hear what you think about this can touch using the hash tag. well golden globes twenty

eight thousand times up on sexual harassment is on al-jazeera dot com is in the top ten most read articles head to our home page and read more about the golden globes . coming up next year on the news will be here with the sports news and she's taking a look at the and see college football. where seventy two thousand people are expected to attend including u.s. presidents.

thank. you. thank one mind our people are talking about in sports today here is joe thank you very

much college football is huge in the united states is a multimillion dollar industry in itself and then in the next few hours the new season champion will be decided the playoff national championship will be between neighboring states alabama and georgia is being played at the home of the atlanta falcons a stadium which is expecting a packed crowd of seventy two thousand people some tickets going for more than five and a half thousand dollars apiece the teams even had their own media day on saturday there's so much hype around the event that cities which host the game can expect one hundred million dollars to flow through their coffers so what better place to come and be with the people if you're the president of the united states yes that's right donald trump is expected to make an appearance at the game on monday well for more on the game in trump's attendance i'm joined by travis waldron who's a sports journalist for the huffington post travis why has trump chosen to attend

this college football. well there's a long history in the united states of presidents attending sporting events using sporting events to kind of bolster their every man status and reach their base when it comes to alabama and georgia and college football in particular it's most popular in states that donald trump is most popular in and at a time when need maybe feels a little bit disconnected from from his base and from american voters generally it's a good chance for him to get out there and you know look like he cares about some of the same things that that other people do yes ace hoping to get a bit of again in the poll in sort of his his his writings but also you know what's he likely to get out of the fans and the players what's been their reaction to him attending well i mean donald trump for most of his presidency is you sports that kind of bolster his base in a different way than a lot of presidents have whether it's going after n.f.l. and n.b.a. players or you know sports journalists he's used it to bolster his popularity among

the people that are already already love him i don't think we're going to see at this game the sort of protests that trump inspired at the n.f.l. level or in other sports for a variety of reasons but it's possible with kendrick lamar the rapper doing the halftime show he's no fan of donald trump so it's possible we see a little bit of protest action outside the stadium during halftime but will have to see about that and when you think you know expecting any protests from these these players in this culture in college football just talk me through how college football is different to the n.f.l. we have seen a lot of protests. well these players are on scholarship there they're more controlled by the schools and the programs than pro athletes are you know we've seen already the talent cabernets not being back in the n.f.l. since the start of the process before donald trump made a huge issue out of this at college i think they probably feel an even bigger risk

of that and an even bigger risk of alienating their coaches or fans i mean these are two fairly conservative fan bases even though nick saban the alabama coach came out and kind of defended player protests in his own way back in the fall when he said that they weren't anti-military they weren't against the flag that people should listen to what players were saying it's still more risky i think for college athletes to do this or to engage in these sort of protests and so you know i would be surprised if on this stage they did so even though we've seen some protests at lower level sporting events in college over the last two years all right thomas thanks very much for joining us. well staying on the same of american football the n.f.l. zzz in the playoffs but an incident on sunday left many fans and social media shocked the carolina panthers quarterback cam newton took a big hates during his team's wild card loss to the new warning signs he went off the treatment but as he made his way to the sidelines the twenty eight year old dropped to the ground and here's what's even more incredible about this whole thing

because moments later he was sent back into the game by his team the pond his coach later said that newton only got poked in the eye and fell to the ground intentionally to gives a replacement a chance to warm up but the n.f.l. which has had major issues with concussion in the past has rules on how teams should treat head injuries and many of you felt that the concussion protocol hadn't been followed in this case and that's certainly the feeling of chris nowinski who is the founder of the concussion legacy foundation he tweeted this even if he was faking injury to buy time since he went down right after a massive head impacts the new n.f.l. concussion protocol dictates he had to go to the locker room for a full of evaluation he did not so the protocol was breached whether he had a concussion alone and in fact the n.f.l. has now released a statement saying they're investigating the actions of the panthers medical team when you can contact me through twitter at j gosh rosco or use the hash tag a.j. news great i'll be back with more at eight hundred g.m.t.
