a comparable number it replaced an ultimatum netanyahu issued to migrants last year be deported to an unnamed african country or face an indefinite time in jail the un was optimistic he would reconsider it's a win win situation it will benefit. because it will be able to meet its international obligations it will also have an international component because other countries will share in the responsibility. also will solve the situation of many of the people who need the protection so we believe that this is a very positive step the un deal was celebrated by asylum seekers who had feared deportation to an unknown country most of them are either from eritrea or sudan in the past they have told al-jazeera they would choose jail over a turning to africa i can go to war and because i have small kids saw i want to be in care. whether he kill me. i don't want to go back to africa human

could soon be extradited to stain german prosecutors have applied for college pujols extradition following years arrest there last month he's facing charges of rebellion in spain of to spearheading catalonia independence vote he's currently being held in a german detention center cain has more from berlin. this decision by prosecutors in this northern state of schleswig is effectively the start of a judicial process that code culminates in mr push the man being extradited to spain to face those two charges which spanish authorities have placed against him specifically about rebellion sedition and force being amongst those charges the point to make here in the explanations for the decision taken today the german off already the prosecutors said that there are there is equivalent legislation which would allow prosecutions in this country as it were and that's crucial because it means as i say that this process can start the question will be how mr bush more

reacts to this in a statement that emerged yesterday where he he had been speaking to a german politician from behind bars as it were he said that he felt that it was important that for his supporters and for himself to continue to operate the way they had been until now peacefully in a nonviolent way that was the cattle and way of doing things well now he is experiencing the german judicial way of doing things and that means that he nursed must now decide whether to contest this or not if he chooses not to condemn contest extradition he could be sent back to spain quite quickly to face these charges however if he chooses to go against this this this ruling as it were to to try to prevent extradition well it could last some considerable time the suggestion might be that there may be some culmination of this process in late may but the important thing to stress here is it's now for mr putin will to decide how he goes forward with this case now the u.n.

a state funeral next saturday and before that will be memorial services and across the country she has been one of the strongest women in our struggle who suffered immensely under the parted regime who was imprisoned who was banished who was treated very badly separated not only from her husband but from the children as well and their people but notwithstanding all this she remains strong. she remained determined she was courageous after every criminal act she became the face and voice of nelson mandela and come pain while he was in prison for twenty seven yes all these people say they are here to celebrate the life of winnie mandela but chose also a very controversial figure she's been accused of being involved in human rights

abuses during the iraq times she's also been accused of having a very militant leadership style a some say this could take her legacy. but for people here the evil of their part type system she fought draft hotshot cummings. would understand. itself was fired. it was natural. to gauge violence against. a comes to mind is that she defied an apartheid system which isn't such a huge negative impact on our country and the biggest labor party still lives are today. she might have lived a checkered life with her own political and passing struggles but many people in south africa want to remember half of the role she played in the fight against apartheid and the impact she had to know people here for them she is the mother of

the nation katherine saw al-jazeera john is back south africa. now julius malema the leader of south africa's economic freedom fighters party has visited winnie mandela as home in sweater to pay his respects. yes. and. i wonder. how much. time today people also not only. see. words were lost here let's fight. john in their mind now of the nation. they're tired from that which was thought. to go well earlier we spoke to tembisa for khuda he's a researcher at the al-jazeera center for studies about a legacy. will be founded a member by minnesota africans because she she ran the struggle in the absence of

the political leadership in south africa when most of the a.n.c. does a.n.c. leaders were arrested and many of them in exile women they're not together with the likes of other witnesses who knew where the faces of the sort of second black struggle against apartheid so she'll be funded remembered by many many many south africans. following his following if that her death i think people misunderstood misunderstood had a role after the release of mina political prisoners and those would return from exile women in the only struggle she was the one who was basically in front of the struggle in south africa and when these people came back men by and large they then wanted to usurp that control and power from her and that's when she became somehow defiant because she was for decades i mean of my generation for example no no other face of political leadership but when

a mandela. russia's president vladimir putin is on his way to turkey for a summit on syria ties between the two countries have been steadily improving even as their relationships with the west strained further iranian president hassan rouhani will also be joining the summit later on wednesday. well workers in france have begun three months of rolling strikes causing chaos for commuters four and a half million passengers will be affected by two days of stoppages each week the rail workers angry at present and well nigh calls plans to reform the industry around half of all staff are taking industrial action the team barber has been out meeting some of those affected in paris. this is one of several bus stations in paris where people can travel to cities around france and in fact further afield it is a lot more busy than normal the company the private company that runs this place says that they've laid on extra services on tuesday because of the train strike but some

passengers we spoke to said that they still felt inconvenience and that their journey was going to take a lot longer than normal that said on the front it's destructive to our plans because the train would have caught us how much early and we having to wait for a bus and the journey will be much slower. will another solution for passengers trying to get from paris to other cities is car sharing it's already extremely popular particularly among young people but coincidentally on tuesday there's a strike at air france so vats adding to the demand for that particular solution. that most of the i couldn't take a plane either because of the strike there i absolutely have to get unarmed and i don't drive so car sharing seem like the best idea. well some of the passengers the travelers that we've spoken to say that they fully understand why the strike is happening others say that the rail sector does need to be reformed and they do

think that the three month strike is excessive but one thing's for sure they're going to have to get used to this disruption because it's going to last until the end of june. now here's to palm to justice has announced little evaluate immigration judges on her official leave they resolve cases it's an effort to clear up a backlog of court cases and alan fisher has the latest force from washington d.c. it's estimated there own six hundred eighty thousand cases to be dealt with by the immigration courts the department of justice wants to see that number significantly reduced they want to see the number of people hanging around waiting for their court dates essentially to go away because they can apply for work or they're waiting for the case to be had you know what the department of justice would like to see is a judge's processing somewhere in the region of seven hundred cases a year at the moment the average is just under about six hundred eighty so the department of justice says this isn't a huge leap this is just probably dealing with three cases

a day for every judge in the point to the fact that some judges deal with more than a thousand cases in the year but the difficulty is some immigration cases are a lot more complicated than others no immigration judges when they say in the new collective agreement with the government their greed to the introduction of some quarters and so the department of justice is saying from the beginning of the new financial year and tobar we want to see this going forward it could be open to challenge in the courts particularly from people who would be concerned that judges are more interested in processing the number of cases rather than jus a process in their courtrooms so although the department of justice issued this statement to all immigration judges on friday before the easter holiday in the united states it's clearly something that could well play out over the coming months as we see likely illegal challenges to this idea from donald trump's the heartland of justice. well staying in the u.s.

a combination of state and local taxes but since the recession tighter government budgets have kept a lid on teacher wages. we have our own limits and we have other people who are also in desperate need of funding when it comes to teacher salaries the u.s. is actually one of the best paying nations luxembourg is at the top paying roughly one hundred thirteen thousand u.s. dollars for teachers with roughly fifteen years of experience latvia is at the bottom paying only about nine thousand dollars but despite wage differences teachers worldwide have one thing in common they make on average about twenty percent less than other professions with similar training that could make teacher recruitment harder in the future we have seen reductions in the number of teachers and the number of college students who are exiting who are graduating from college with a teaching certificate and so there have been declines over the last ten years or so that people have raised warning flags about losing losing teachers
