a mixed legacy she has here she will be remembered for that very significant role in the struggle against apartheid but. also very controversial what how is she going to be remembered by and large by the people that one is going to feature most prominently in their minds. what is going to feature as i mentioned mariam is you know this very huge who was she to corn when nelson mandela was imprisoned she really became this voice this you know face of his he she became his face to the outside world and she handles that very world very vigorous his she was very passionate about it she for the apartheid regime she was constantly harassed by the state agents for it and you know when he came out what people remember is this when nelson mandela came out of prison there was this you know they're walking hand in hand you know celebrating freedom my last and that is

what people want to remember her for they are choosing also you know they're not just mourning highlife they're just not mourning for mariam they're also celebrating her leg because she was eighty one years old so they want to celebrate her life to celebrate the role that she played in the liberation of south africa yes she kept out of a very meekly ten feet according to some people she did not do well with authority as i mentioned she had a lot of run ins with key figures within the a.n.c. she you know criticize very heavily former president she even once said that nelson mandela is a sellout she was not afraid to speak her mind but even with all that she was very passionate about this struggle as she was very passionate about women empowerment and she was very passionate about getting to south africa to the level where everybody in this country is equal thank you very much catherine soy with all the

latest on that story from johannesburg. now israel has reached a deal with the un's refugee agency to resettle thousands of african migrants and asylum seekers in western countries the government had wanted to send them back to africa offering them plane tickets and cash but the supremes goal suspended the deportations last month most of the migrants are from eritrea and sudan. more now from stephanie decker who's live for us in west jerusalem what does this deal mean stephanie. well the israeli prime minister made a statement a little earlier where he said that basically mentioning countries like italy and canada that would be taking some of these asylum seekers the total number sixteen

thousand two hundred fifty the interior minister spoke a little off to that also mentioning germany and that basically for one of the migrants of the asylum seekers that would be going abroad israel would keep one other in the statement they also said that israel would be reviewing the status of these migrants and the language is interesting because israel for years has been calling them illegal infiltrators basically making a very strong point to them that they're not welcome that they will not be getting any form of refugee status here in that they are better off are brought in this is why this mass deportation plan was in place and it's also of course come under a lot of criticism now i spoke to the u.n.h.c.r. who is overseeing this whole thing it's in its very early stages merriam but they were telling us that yes it was an important achievement that they were also going to help here in israel with sort of relocating some of these asylum seekers because most of them are living in the southern suburbs of tel aviv this low employment very dire situation so there's

a plan to improve the situation for the for the silence he gets here as well and most importantly process their applications and u.n.h.c.r. telling us that it still doesn't guarantee that they'll be staying here as they say any other country has a right to do but at least israel will start processing all of these applications so many people saying this is a very positive step but it has to be assessed it's early days in real change on the ground right now as you say that will take time to unfold for that process to play out meanwhile what is the situation situation like for the asylum seekers. well these are people mostly from eritrea and saddam on many of them have had terrible terrible dire journeys getting here through the sinai before israel and still installed a security fence stopping them from crossing about three years ago you know the same that we're hearing in libya in other places the torture rape just horrific horrific stories many of them coming from eritrea a country where of course it's

a very difficult situation for them when they come here many of the single men over the years were rounded up and put in an open detention center you know they don't have papers they couldn't work it's illegal but then there are massively taxed they're basically not being made to feel welcome in any sense and certainly critics and n.g.o.s and civil society which have really been supporting and pushing against this policy of mass deportation because they say it's an inherently racist policy and its aim to sort of you know men taining the identity of the jewish state will tell you that this is a step in the right direction again as i said early days to see how it all unfolded but certainly i think for those who were given a choice two choices basically israel said to them you can be deported or you can face indefinite prison time and many of those that al-jazeera has been speaking to over the years covering the story said well we would choose prison time because going back to africa for us is not a choice at all all right thank you very much stephanie deca in west jerusalem now

a good area of cloud over the eastern parts of india it's not really brought as a great deal of wet weather but it's gradually edging its way eastwards across bangladesh and breaking up even more as it does so over the next few days i think the greatest chance of a shower is going to be in the far south perhaps over sri lanka as well elsewhere more mostly falling and drawing and hot now with not poor up around forty degrees in the far north to still our area of cloud that's been working its way eastwards and it will continue its journey away as we head through wednesday so the northern parts of india should brighten up as they should in the northern parts of pakistan too for the arabian peninsula more cloud here at the moment that is giving us a few showers here in doha though we're up at thirty three. on counting the cost of crude futures contract was launched in china this week find out what it all means for the dollar and oil produces a look at africa's biggest companies plus technology under scrutiny the latest on

sisi has been reelected for a second term in office after winning ninety seven percent of the vote it's the exact percentage that brought the former military commander into power or years ago sisi was virtually guaranteed victory after all serious opposition candidates pulled out of the contest earlier this year the election commission says voter turnout has been forty one percent lower than the last election ramadan mastery is the chair of the journalism program at the doha institute for graduate studies he says sisi is likely to consolidate his power to rule beyond the next four years it was a sham and on every on every level by every measure and that's why the human rights organizations have universally denounced it there were no international monitors no election body will certify this. and i think you can expect more of the same you can expect continued repression consolidation of power elimination of all opposing voices weeding out of rivals inside the military apparatus and probably another
