independence may still be a distant dream but nationalism has found a renewed force on this island the family here not so long ago just singing the corsican national anthem was enough to get you beaten up by the french police here now the islanders are demanding official status for their language. the all. expression of course you can roots was rapidly merge with the expression of political demands so the singing became hard for the political authorities to accept and not only the french but also some corsicans were supporters of greater france the confrontation then became violent extremely violence very external. the brutal struggle for course going independence lasted for four decades before weapons were finally surrendered three years ago the political fight to the ballot

box is proving much more successful. a coalition of nationalists now commands forty one out of the sixty three seats in the corsican assembly one of their key demands is for the return an amnesty of what they call their political prisoners held in jails across france. to some say. what happened in the election last december was an earthquake it wasn't just the usual renewal of they are simply the corsican people revolted of a an absolute in my you're ready for corsica nationalists that's the fact there are thirty disempowers have to think about. the nationalists have already served notice on president macron warning him that unless he starts listening to them then the hard and conflicting times lie ahead for paris and corsica corsica was the birthplace of napoleon the man macro's most often measured against in terms of his youth and grand visions the french president is due on the island next week will he

choose a compromise will he defend the integrity of france and its language. and on saturday hundreds of nationalists protest as in corsica's capital talk to the streets demonstrating ahead of the president's visit. again from the rally in a jacket. the nationalists were keen to show president emmanuel mark on one thing that of course is not an administrative region of france corsica's a country a nation and a people and most of all they wanted corsican as a fishel language of the island this is one of their main demands it's a very emotional demand but it's not that easy for president macro because under the article two of the constitution it says that the republic has one language and that language is french there are other demands to which they're very keen to push through to start opening

a dialogue with present about and that is what they call their political prisoners the people sent to prisons across france during the forty forty years of armed struggle for independence for corsica they want them repatriated to corsica they want them in the prisons here and they want them amnesty that again is a very difficult problem for paris and and last but not least they want to change in the property rules here in corsica they want to make sure that the so-called rich boys who are in paris and elsewhere in france don't just buy their holiday homes here because that is causing a huge pressure on house prices for the actual people who live in corsica and the economy is one of the main problems here that they are being caught very much in the night as they say by the french. economy is in very poor state one in five

people here live below the poverty line there's been a large exodus of the young people the younger generation from the island to france for their education and for employment they want that to change and they want more help on state spending from the french economy itself and they also hope to open this main. dialogue without the background of violence but through the ballot box to get the amendments to the constitution they need to form real autonomy on this island. rebel fighters in syria say they've shot down a russian jet over italy province the pilot has been killed russian forces have been carrying out ass strikes on rebel held areas with at least seven people killed in aleppo on friday jets also targeted the rebel enclave of eastern ghouta near the

turkey has been focusing on pushing the y. p.g. away from its border areas with africa and there's been heavy outgoing artillery not just now as you can hear but really throughout the two week period that this offensive is now carrying on it's not any easy flight the f.s.a. those the free syrian army fighters they've been pushing along these borders as well along with turkish soldiers they've taken some areas but there are still certainly pockets of wife. along these border areas and just briefly also particular when it comes to the civilians inside these areas we understand that from those villages most of them have fled further inside to syria to seek chafey but very very difficult for them because no aid can get in to are freed and as you can hear along these villages along the border it is a very ongoing campaign mean wrong day for a syrian army says it will investigate allegations its finances mutilated the corpse of a female member of the wife p.g.

will affect the moeller investigation the president was asked point blank whether in fact he will now ask for the firing of the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who the republicans accuse of having authorized this continuation of this surveillance of under a court order and the president said cryptically you figure that one out subsequently white house officials said no the president is not looking for any changes at the highest levels of the justice department but nevertheless that cloud still hangs over the justice department with the president's continuing tweets against both the f.b.i. and his own officials in the justice department sela head on al-jazeera a scan here has to introduce a new school curriculum for the first time in three decades some parents on not convinced it's enough. on why this remote tribe and into the zia is under threat.

hello there we've got a fair amount of cloud that's making its way across the middle east at the moment you can see making its way across turkey edging its way eastwards toughening its way through parts of iraq so we also cloud them with us as we head through sunday not a great deal of rain that the rain really just in the far north western parts of techie elsewhere just quite grey not too cold either we're looking at a top temperature in beirut of around twenty or twenty. and degrees there were actually sinks a little bit further southwards as we head through the day on monday twenty one there in baghdad but the east it's cooler for us here six degrees is a maximum on monday in kabul and for el monte will get to minus six before the south end here in doha it certainly feels cold if you are out in the wind but that when should be as we head through the next few days so we'll go from twenty two to

about twenty three on monday but monday will feel warmer as they'll be less of a breeze this area of cloud is making its way away from oh man so it should be a bit brighter for some of us here as we head through the next couple of days even further towards the south and for many of us in the southern parts of africa there's plenty of wet weather stretching down from angola all the way down into the eastern parts of south africa heavy downpours likely here it's gradually pushing its way northward but unfortunately for cape town there's no rain on the horizon.

welcome back remind all of the top stories here and i'll just say there are six african migrants have been injured with one in a life threatening condition and was appears to have been a racially motivated it's dark and instantly the group of five men and one woman were targeted in the drive by shooting in the central italian town of much around. hundreds of nationalist protesters and corsica's capital have taken to the streets calling for more tanami just days before the french president is due to arrive on

government of law says it wants the landlocked country to become land linking beijing sees this project as a key part of its delta road infrastructure plan linking china with the rest of asia europe and beyond when this line is completed it will run for more than four hundred kilometers more than sixty percent of which will consist of bridges and tunnels that makes it a very expensive project one that some say laos can't afford experts worry it will add to the government's already heavy debt loads the cost of the project is six billion dollars with most of the money coming from chinese grants and loans this is significant because. ours. is only. fifty percent of g.d.p. and this project really big in five years time so about in we can expect around ten percent of public investment just for this process.

one of the stops will be just outside long providing which is a unesco listed talent for its unique lao and french architecture there is concern the new project will attract too many tourists putting a strain on the town's facilities and infrastructure. but many people in small businesses here survive off the tourism industry so the prospect of more visitors pending money is welcomed. about three years ago there were tourists but now there aren't as many so we are earning less money so we're looking forward to the trade. happening but i. some studies have found that china will receive most of the economic benefits from the large projects it's involved in around the region laos is one of asia's poorest countries so when the railway is finished by late two thousand and twenty one it will be hoping its beginning this meant will start paying off straight away wayne hay al jazeera long provide laos
