this is zero. allow them to do with all of this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. our in our media protests to celebrate in the capital after the prime minister announces his resignation. a top political leader is killed in yemen in the lead airstrike. well stocked shelves despite a hefty sanctions we're taking to a shopping center in north korea where there are no shortages. in school the football are known as the egyptian king claims a new chrome liverpool striker mohammad sol is named england's player of the year just ahead of the champions league.

first armenia where tens of thousands of people are celebrating the resignation of the prime minister sorry start the c.m. he announced he is stepping down after almost two weeks of mass antigovernment protests or has had accused him of an unconstitutional paragraph let's join the whole report. attention turned to celebration after eleven days of street protests that brought down armenia's prime minister. it was a humiliating in socks and the man who has clung to power in the former soviet republic for a decade on monday he resigned to preserve the peace he said just hours after unarmed soldiers were seen joining the crowds in the capital europe and we know that the country has been suffering specifically under the rule of the took mandates of the president with absolute lack of institutional freedom so be it the

judicial be it the the police the or be at the. the health or culture or even the religious and the fact that they read it took the initiative on individual individual basis to come to the street shows that ultimately institutions are formed by human beings and human minds and intentions. and step down a day after his security forces arrested and then released the leader of the opposition further angering the crowds it could have been a tipping point towards violence they claim sarkozy on had rigged the system to stay in power president since two thousand and eight he'd been forced to step down because of term limits earlier this month but apply and parliament formed up to constitutional changes he presided over three years ago swiftly appointed him prime minister with enhanced powers stripped from the presidency critics said it was

a job for life. the mostly peaceful protests had focused on high level corruption and persistent poverty in the country but in a volatile region they were closely watched by russia with whom sarkozy and had formed close ties but the kremlin said it would not intervene describing events in your event as a domestic matter to the crowd's evident delight. join a whole al-jazeera of us and a scan man is a former army and foreign minister of funder of the civility foundation he joins me live from your answer of a woman who comes to the program our score correspondent mentioned earlier the atmosphere in the arab and saying it was now one of hope and i guess the protesters they they used their power and got their way absolutely duckster biggest to take away from these events so joyful moment where the entire i mean nation and the table where it is truly that people feel empowered that they can really change

for the first time in long harm since our first independence in nine hundred ninety one when the armenians threw street demonstrations on people contributed to the fall of the soviet union and since then it's going through all sorts of ups the ups and downs and just going through all sorts of disappointment that disenchantment after a long time now that if you do empower their country and they can't really change and that i think is the biggest take word from do so process so votes and am i right in thinking that a little so i guess he has resigned as prime minister he still remains as president of the moment. no it's not his power we do have a new president because we've already in the face of implementing our new constitution we moved from presidential system to a parliamentary system. and the whole problem started when the former

president said sarkis young was his salt why go majority in the parliament their ruling party as a prime minister were trying to do new constitution has enormous powers it has the combined powers of president and prime minister and that was deemed pirate protest against him because he had promised the army and nation that he will not seek any high office if the constitution passes and he renat his promise and that was the major factor that trigger you seem tired process so bots and what what happens next and i mean is there a sudden they go or impact you know all what's happened at sight of the country itself. what this will have impact was domestically and regionally on wednesday the opposition will start negotiations with the acting prime minister for

a transition government and early parliamentary elections i think that there are agreements already been announced today by the leader opposition nichol question the un tomorrow is a separate day separate day for the army and people the entire nation will watch for the genocide memorial and they will pay their respects to the victims as the armenian genocide of nine thousand feet in under the ottoman government that's why i think the. negotiation as a struggle for one state and the question now is what's next i think so will have a transition government in which the opposition leader will play a major role and their primary task will be to organize a parliamentary elections that's going to be very critical during this past decade two decades our will say one of the deficits in armenia was the trust in the

government we had legitimacy a problem because our product was a lecture and it would be extremely important that we conduct we imperil action so that people will have trust in the next government so that the government can tackle the challenges before it what domestically and regionally the magically we need to address the poverty truly canonic the broken we need to tackle corruption we need to dismantle the oligarchic system there will be in most resistance run be on guard what the government will be able to address this particular issue they need the public support they need a coalition government a real core return within the parliament so that they can spread the responsibility or the coalition government instead of. having. that we've passed since the independence of crimea in ninety nine i want this will also impact our regional

relations with our neighbors with russia and particularly with him. as a great job only a legitimate government can negotiate a reasonable peace deal with does a great job because there will be very compromises if we will achieve official resolution that will not be easy a legitimate government a coalition government with the backing and support of the entire i mean people i think we can address not be true and to be so but in governor got a conflict you know fiscal matters we also have. thoughts and i'm going to have to jump in on you there just because we've got our correspondent there in the capital also but boston scan and thanks very much for joining us let's talk less well than first day walker has been following the story for us from gary van so well then obviously everybody's gone home but what's the mood what's the sense that's been left over from today is that one of hope and optimism.

the moral everybody. more than you know that remember the people who read almost three. months into the memorial. here about. what's what the incredible now is that the country can all hear unified again and it is a lot of silly things going forward like i said a real change you know the real work starts now in terms of an opportunity to view elections. but there's a new government. policy. of unpressed a walk of their lives from yet advanced robin sang. one of the top political leaders of the hoodies in yemen has been killed in a cyber led air strike south summit was headed has headed the hooty administration

a big blow for the movement came what about the mahdi al muscat who takes over from him. expected because modern machine. bought him a chavez what was considered. same authority as bob or the person in control. so right now. i've been to shove is considered the closest person to the medicos even before he was assigned so now the closest. official to the hook a leader is not the acting head of the. political council here and how they controlled areas inside and surroundings so i expect it's very influential and he was involved over the dialogue that took place you want sponsored dialogue in geneva. equate. over year growth

and this shows that the with the movement will not stop by the one of its leaders and immediately after he's gone another one apollo but not in the shop was the only one who basically had as much influence as on some mob. and hope that the choice area. he was killed in a coalition strike you know whole day that is the significant can you put it into context for us in terms of the wider picture. very significant because it's a day that's considered the most secure. place it's about for the who the where they have all the intelligence all based in one day that basically so they're showing some some odd being killed shows that or disprove that over the last couple of months there has been some sort of that's alteration. intelligence wise

if a deal with these person not to be able to be killed by saudi air strikes and attacking his convoy so this is a big backlash so it would be security wise it's well it's not a secret that the data is much more sort but even china itself the capital so to be killed and her data on just all the extreme security measures that they. go through into data. is a question mark is whether be i have infiltrated into their provinces itself or. within their intelligence apparatus in general i came on must not be there editor in chief and publisher of the yemen post. thanks so much for joining us. well there's much more to come on the news hour malaysian police release images of two men suspected of killing a palestinian member of hamas in kuala lumpur the only surviving suspect in the

the decade al-jazeera has been taking a look of what life is like inside north korea has been given rare access to the capital pyongyang i diplomats gather to james pace takes a first hand look at whether a raft of international sanctions have had any impact at all. north korea has been targeted with tougher and tougher sanctions by the u.s. and the international community of a what persuaded the country's leadership to pursue a diplomatic course and what effect to the having on ordinary people in this isolated country. we're being taken to a department store in the center of pyongyang despite the international sanctions the shelves here are full we managed to visit a number of shops in the city center all were up marketplaces catering to the elite we found no shortages and luxury items like chocolates and bottles of alcohol that

were clearly smuggled in in defiance of the sanctions the official line is that foreign imports have been replaced by increase domestic production. do you believe i don't know why others around us are starving us dear reporter when we return please tell them we are indomitable no matter what thank sions are upon us. the only medical facility we were taken to was a gleaming new hospital most of the equipment here was imported clearly a problem in the future when spare parts become needed we were shown the eyeglasses which is subsidized for north korean citizens you know what it will mean yes what's the name of the north korean brown. yellow yet not yet not ok but a recent un report says the humanitarian situation particularly in rural areas outside the capital is poor before traveling to north korea i spoke to the un's top humanitarian official in new york. their. nutrition problem also

malnourished children especially there are to many women having a really hard time tough and dying in childbirth it's the u.n. security council that voted in the international sanctions and the netherlands is the council member that administers them. in all resolutions there's a view very clear passage where it says. these sanctions are not meant to have adverse negative effects on the people of the period. that's the official line privately even western diplomats will tell you there's a stigma to denature humanitarian aid to north korea for example an important program by the n.g.o.s the global fund to fight malaria and tuberculosis was caught earlier this year sanctions are having an effect in north korea but perhaps not the one the international community wanted jas by al-jazeera pyongyang. stay with us

a. pick for secretary of state will face the senate foreign relations committee in the next few hours cia director michael pale could become the first nominee for the position not to win the panel support of more than half a senate is refusing to back him or us jordan is following events in washington d.c. hi there also is not exactly going to be flame sailing then for fail. no it has not been clear sailing or smooth sailing from like palm pale but certainly until the committee actually decides to take its vote at twenty one g.m.t. or shortly thereafter we won't know whether they will actually endorse mike pompei as nomination to be the next secretary of state as our viewers may know one republican rand paul came out even before pompei as confirmation hearing and said that he would oppose the nomination however at least three democrats have now come out and said that they would vote for pails nomination what's it reaches the senate

floor and so it's really difficult to say that you're going to see a party line split as it were or that tom mike pompei o might not get a resoundingly endorsement from this panel but certainly the tradition has been that it's important to get the buy in from the committee that supervises a federal agency before all one hundred senators have a chance to vote on a nomination i'm not no wrong does this though ultimately make a difference. ultimately it doesn't make a difference because it is assumed up here on capitol hill that mike pompei all will be confirmed by the full senate and because he has the president's support because it's been widely reported that the president has a lot of faith and a lot of trust unlike pompei oh what's going to matter is that if he is confirmed he will be sitting at a table across from other for. foreign ministers who will understand and appreciate

that mike pompei a would be speaking on behalf of the u.s. president it's that kind of backing that is essential and that has been traditionally very important in negotiations on a diplomatic realm so even though there is a possibility that he might not get the judiciary committees or the foreign relations committee or split the important thing would be the full senate vote and of course the support from the u.s. president donald trump has live from washington d.c. ross thank you. case in malaysia have really sketches of two suspects in the targeted killing of a palestinian academic study albats was repeatedly shot on saturday his family would say by israeli mossad intelligence agents israel denies killing the hamas member florence who reports from k o. two murder suspects wanted in connection with the killing of foggy alba which these men are thought to have fired at least

it cites specific corporations like e-commerce giant its recruitment as promised africans beautiful girls as coworkers search engine giant by a do advertise a position last year for content reviewers saying they must be man and have a strong ability to work under pressure work weekends holidays in one shift all the job polls looks at they looked at required women to have certain physical attributes with respect to height weight voice of physical appearance relevant to job duties. well i'm not joined by sophie which sent who's the china direct to human rights watch in washington d.c. hi there sophia warm welcome to the program and so when you were carrying out this research what was the thing that struck you most about it well i think two things first of all the incredibly sexualized nature of the images of women some of the private companies used as a lure essentially for male job applicants but then i think the very depressing

finding that nearly one in five of the government's own national civil service job listings stipulated that they wanted a man only or that a male candidate was preferred and when you see a government failing so spectacularly to uphold its own laws. you're a little bit pessimistic about the reality of foreign companies or other private employers so if am i right in thinking that in one of these the east there was a picture of a sort of pole dancing this was an ad for i think it was cold as a something to do with tech so is it something particular to that industry depending on how six this the ad saw or is it more widespread than. what we didn't look so much other sectors in the tech sector was interesting to us particularly because it sort of presents itself as being young and cosmopolitan modern and yet it's still using stereotypical images straight out of the one nine hundred fifty s.

to try to attract candidates or even to use the women or ask the women who already work fare to sort of be lure is for the kinds of men the company thinks it wants to recruit what do the labor laws state sophie and why is it so difficult. to you know to press them. you know it's an interesting question though china's labor laws and the advertising law are unambiguous that gender discrimination is prohibited but they don't elaborate at all on what actually constitutes discrimination and so on the rare occasions when courts have accepted cases they haven't really taken a step further in identifying what discrimination actually is as important they've only levied very small fines against companies a couple of hundred u.s. dollars so it doesn't really act as

a deterrent for the companies going forward. do you think that campaigns like me to . they having an effect in countries like china other things just changing you know very slowly perhaps. well certainly there are a lot of people inside china who are interested in gender equality and in the me too movement but you know it's a political environment in which there isn't a free press in which activists are under enormous pressure to keep quiet rather than to speak up now the courts aren't free to take cases and you know it's a big and powerful government of violating its own laws and so it's that much harder for people who are really trying to make progress what is it in terms sophie of people bringing court challenges how often is that happening you know is there a feeling amongst women in the labor market themselves that time is up on this sort of treatment in advertising. i think there's

a lot of frustration around this issue there's really only been three court cases based on gender discrimination the first one wasn't until twenty thirteen you know and there are real disincentives especially for women for trying to take these kinds of cases you have to have the resources to pursue it. you know and you have to run the risk as someone described to us of then being stereotyped as difficult as you then apply for other jobs and so you know it's hard to make the laws that on the books ought to be helpful actually work in favor of combat and gender discrimination so if we should send. it to the human rights watch sophie thank you very much for joining us thanks. still ahead on the news hour papa new guinea is disappearing for us why the business of blogging is booming despite a corporate thing that says it's. our lack of copyright laws inside the struggling to protect their work. stay alive in the playoff series against the defending.

a fantastic season. but there are credible same bat said liverpool gone further than them in europe and it's been largely down to the unexpected goals of so in a season that could have been difficult for them losing good senior breaking records held by robbie fowler at liverpool fernando torres but he's not a striker if the speed is close the closest of his control is iran's and defenders just don't seem to have been able to work him out even you know once you first set the goals strain strain no one seems to be out to get a grip of him. like he says that low center of gravity it is just a ball seem stuck to his foot the moment any any shoots very early. and that's i think the secret behind wrong in goalkeepers and finding the net so consistently romar well aware of the threats or presents and choose the his game he scored fifteen goals for them last season the italians are in the champions league semifinals for the first time since nine hundred eighty four thanks to their amazing quarterfinal comeback against barcelona when they hit back from

a four one first like deficit in eighty four it was liverpool who eventually beat roma in the final on penalties to be sorry our title race has been thrown wide open that's after napoli scored a dramatic win over six time defending champions eventis second place napoli beating of a one nil incher in napoli looking for their first league title since the days of diego maradona when he fired them to the skit at zero nine hundred ninety. when financially means just one point separates the two sides with four games to go you very still have to play third place run away from home and they also have a game against into. if you were it's true that according to everyone napoli is the favorite because of their remaining games but i believe that you vent is that capable of great matches you have to play and win every match i've seen this many times now we have a day and a half to recover and get our energies back we will start in tuesday to prepare for

the intervention that will for sure be a decisive match for our new york city f c's undefeated start to the major league soccer season has come to an end having gone seven games without losing they were pretty much taken apart by the portland symbols losing three despite the defeat new york is still top of the eastern conference portland are ninth in the west i the son and son are spurs a star live in the n.b.a. playoff series with the golden state warriors they clinch gang four to avoid a series sweep kevin durant led the wife the warriors with thirty four points pretty could inspire a win for the defending champions. marcus aldridge starred for the spurs with twenty two points and ten rebounds and you know he took over in the final minutes of the game he scored a pair of three pointers giving san antonio the one eye three to ninety when the warriors who still have a three one lead can wrap up the series on choose day. we'll see if we can maintain that for next year i mean there's not much you can do you try to get the best shots

possible try to find the open teammate so we did i think the game before especially gave it to we did too we just didn't go in. but we did many other things good to so he said it was a good overall game. would you read look at this from jr smith is the cleveland cavaliers level best series with the indiana pacers to see. bron james helping out as well his thirty two points helping the cavaliers seal game four one four three one hundred. two other results to tell you about the milwaukee bucks winning a close one against the boston celtics that series is now tied to all as is the other series between sarong sorrow and washington. top seeds in the n.f.l. playoffs the nashville predators have advanced to the second round the visiting permits in school two goals in the first period and in the second in front of a stunned then the crowd is nashville went on to thrash the colorado avalanche five

nothing to clinch the first round series so the predators will face the winnipeg jets in the next round. and a new record has been set in major league baseball san francisco giants brandon belt is stepping up to the plate against the l.a. angels and there he pretty much stayed he took root for twenty one pitches in a single appearance that lasted a total of twelve minutes and forty five seconds that breaks a record that was set twenty years ago his effort eventually ending there when he hits a fastball in right field. ok let's get back to julie in love the. and they thank you that poets musicians and all the artists and says saddam are struggling with the absence of copyright laws in the country where the control of the sale of their works is like the others will make more money for their songs or literary projects than the artists themselves have a more good reports from juba. it takes days sometimes weeks for one of south

sudan's most popular musicians emanuel to write record and produce his songs yet despite his the education he benefits very little from the finished product. in south sudan with the glee. copyright law does not exist so we musicians we spend time money and energy to produce but. there is no earning law that protects all right like in other countries in the neighborhood in neighboring countries like sudan uganda so good musicians produce music at least to earn something out of their work. but. emmanuel is one of more than fifty artist in south sudan all facing the same problem musicians writers and poets are all suffering because there are no laws in place to protect their work now many prefer to have their work produced in other

countries where there is copyright legislation. where in south sudan and south hundreds and i too have a coprime. system here. i wanted to try to publish in uganda i would publish them and you're going to give me yeah but he would i would still maintain that i didn't you know solace in the news poet who's publishing in your grammar there are no distribution companies in south sudan it's not seen as a worthwhile investment but that doesn't mean artists works are not being sold distributing the work of art without their permission isn't difficult to bring a stick or drive to meet a fellow here in the market and choose the music you want he'll copy it and you'll pay and it'll cost less than a dollar then you can reproduce songs using the music and the lyrics and the artists don't even know that their music is being sold on a government has taken little interest in the arts and literature sector especially after a civil war broke out in twenty thirty tens of thousands of people have been killed and a third of the country's twelve million population displaced but the government says

it is now working on a bill and forming a council to protect the intellectual property of artists by the approval of the cabinet so that it. will be calm. and then at this same time would confirm that we have a body that we can give him we can give this policy these these. laws so that we we talked about protection. for emmanuel and other artists this provide some hope that in the future it is they who will benefit financially from their words and music not an unknown third party. people more going on to their own jubal. that's it for me for this news hour.

the scene for us where on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is almost possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there are people that there to choose and between buying medication and eating base is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist who's close to the story joining the global conversation at this time on al jazeera. inmates learning from other inmates acquiring knowledge that can set them free. through legal education classes and mock tribunals vegetation has led to staggering results even in prison with timmy
