years from now el jazeera examines what has changed in the past seven decades on both sides of this conflict made on al-jazeera the big stories generate thousands of headlines with different angles from different perspectives separate the spin from the facts that's why i'm guy. with the listening post on al-jazeera. we have a news gathering team here there is a second term out there all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to them. my job is is to break it all down and we help give you understand and make sense of it.

from studio. headquarters in doha. welcome to the news things moved quickly it was only a week ago prime minister. was forced from office. for his replacement and with only one man in the frame we will be looking. also at the great israel's allegations of iranian nuclear weapons a derived it is a propaganda and a pack a line but israel and the united states say it amounts to conclusive proof and germany and the e.u. are investigating as well and across the world it is made. with rallies and protests all these employees. about their rights in the way. i'm helen hunt iran follows russia and banning the popular messaging app telegram we

have all the latest reaction to this. show the hash tag. live on air and streaming online through facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com all of those stories to come with starting with breaking news out of nigeria and in just the past hour also reports of a blast in and around the mosque in the northeast nigerian town of movie there it is on your map there at least a dozen people killed we here. live in a budget to bring us the latest on this one. welcome all what we know is that according to police this happened as people. around the market is preparing to to go. the afternoon prayers that he was at twente bombing conducted by two suicide bombers and that it happened in

a county movie in the northeastern part of nigeria what makes this area critical kemal is that this was an area captured and controlled by the book group in two thousand and fourteen for over a month and it was liberated by the nigerian army then but this is not attack in those areas in fact last year around a similar attack happened where about fifty people died in another suicide bombing in the same area in a mosque as well and in another incident twenty others were also killed it comes at a very critical time as well amar amount to daily the nigerian army launched an all out operation intensified operation against the boko haram group in the north east they're starting at the leak of chad where they said members of the book are armed groups who are affiliated with i so are actually situated so this could just mean basically a message to the nigerian army that they are a force to be reckoned with and it may last longer than the forty four month

deadline that the need that the nigerian army actually put on themselves ok thank you for that jim and i will talk to you again later if there are any more developments in a. now in the armenian capital yet of on thousands of people have gathered outside parliament which is set to vote for its new prime minister the opposition leader and they call question him as laid weeks of protests just like these in fact these are live pictures the protests which forced the long time leader surge to resign after a round of questions pressure a shimmy and i'm sorry can of the be voted in all the parliament and then call for a snap elections all those people out there gathered waiting for some sort of news from inside the parliament. remember this whole government shakeup has all come about in just the past two weeks the protests started when that outgoing president serge ended his second term that was april ninth but the ruling party then said we're going to nominate him to become the next prime minister and i remember he's

already served a decade as president at this point in the opposition doesn't like this they see it as some sort of power grab on april seventeenth it became official so i guess in officially became the prime minister but all those people the tens of thousands of people gathered out and yet to protest against him and by april twenty three the pressure simply became too much so i guess ian resigned with his party then changing needs a little bit trying to calm the tensions by saying no we won't be putting anyone forward to replace him on april thirtieth nicol that was nominated by the opposition in parliament he was in fact that we must point out the only person to put himself forward as any sort of viable candidate since the protests began so now all these people out in the streets and clapping at this point as well it looks like i don't know if it's because of anything or if that is the anticipation but these are people who have been out as we say for the past two weeks it has been. a

bit of cheering going on there largely peaceful it's all been in that time. and now they wait for some sort of decision as we say either he gets elected by the parliament today said so i guess it gets elected. or the parliament will go for a snap election no indication of that lots of questioning. for nicol question ian about. what sort of. prime minister he might be. in a couple things i want to show you we're trying to hook up with him for us to walk over you know has been doing some great coverage out of. sorry we've got a few things going on at the moment but i'll let me show you his page have a look at this if you look up at al-jazeera written for the forest if. i are you can catch up on all his reports they're all uploaded and of course the

rest of the reports and work that he's done from around central asia over the years for syria so do have a look at that every one of our correspondents has their own profile page at al-jazeera dot com which is helpful and probably not a bad time to follow robin on twitter as well his updates from the ground there it is robin for at robin if walker if you want to catch up with him now mr at robin walker if you can hear me all right there and yet of. thanks for. that thanks for giving me the threats of people going through handing out. yes i can hear you. i mean i am obviously it's a very noisy here in a square but i'm ready to update you on the situation on the ground the problem that we're having i think a rather the problem i should say that the that the people out here having is that the the the vote that is to take place depends on the republican governing party doing its doing something unexpected which would be to

support a moment of nickel passing the people's candidate as he's become known. to pick the man who has brought all these thousands of people out day after day. to leave the streets not just in a capital but about the country but today we've been hearing from members of the republican party having their charms to fight back from the parliament where they feel safe where they feel they have the all thirty because they legally hold those positions and they're saying repeatedly m.p. off to be that's come up and has been speaking say you know when to quit when august this isn't right nicole posh neon isn't it's not the man for the job and we're not prepared to just give up her roll over with a legitimate authority and suite out his ability to govern and his ability to act authority particularly with regard let's say to key issues of armenian security

such as what to do over the going to care about the area that is contested over by as if i john there's always a danger that they say that the azeris will take advantage of nickel passion words don't be a competence commander in chief and these sorts of things and so every time they come up on air every time we see them on the big story line is talking and. say things like that we get these collective groans and moves for the crowds the people giving the thumbs up thumbs down i should say and and the finger hands the it just seems to be a huge disconnect between the people who have proven themselves now to be really i would say confidently that there is a groundswell of media people who want change in the media but there is a as i said it's got its legal table you have it those deputies who are fighting

for their political survival once in a public they call passion the un has we're told to support i'm sure a political factions in the parliament we only need six seats from that republican faction to win this election this votes in parliament but easy going to get it and i look a lot of people's faces around me tonight and i see people looking nervously on beginning to wonder whether or not they're going to be stolen their price is going to be stolen from them whether they will be able to celebrate revolutionary fick tree today i can also add that it's not over there would be another vote next week a repeat of today if it doesn't go ahead if he does not get selected often hard but i just wonder how the movement this opposition movement is going to respond to a result like that and at the same time you know we still don't know whether there's

going to be a surprise at the end of today for this opposition movement to have a happy ending let's say for them or whether there is going to be massive disappointment on the streets of because it's so incredibly tense there it looks like and we'll be back from forrester well quite obviously for any developments thanks robin. israel's prime minister has said actually now before i tell you about that i want to tell you about that hash tag i join you get in touch with us what you. ajay english is where we put our tweets out if you want to follow along there reply to the thread to use the hash tag as you go along at facebook dot com as they are the live stream as ever up and running waiting for your comments and your discussion along there that number plus nine seven four five zero one triple one four nine what's that and telegram as well if you use telegram keep an eye up later on we're going to actually be talking about that app in russia and iran and you restrictions that are being put on there now we're going to talk about israel where the prime minister is said iran lied about its nuclear weapons program and even netanyahu showed reporters in tel aviv what he called conclusive proof that iran's

weapons program once existed now iran is saying it was just a propaganda shark and are cements as this report. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu may have unveiled secret files and computer disks describing them as conclusive proof that iran's nuclear program did exist this was an innocent looking compound it looks like a dilapidated warehouse he may have shown a building in iran where he says israeli intelligence agencies had found their evidence but in vienna a former director of analysis for the international atomic energy agency isn't impressed speech is the dates are all missing everything he presented it appears to be related to developing nuclear weapons was longer growers where there is nothing he presented to the were weapons program it was news but netanyahu says the iranian program didn't end in two thousand and three it continued in secret the iran deal

the nuclear do is based on laws it's based on iranian lies any rain in deception one hundred thousand files right here. prove that they're logged at the white house donald trump like what he saw and heard i think of anything what's happening today and what's happened over the last little while and what we've learned. has really shown that i've been one hundred percent right iran's foreign minister dismissed the allegations saying in this tweet breaking the boy who can't stop crying wolf is at it again undeterred by cartoon fiasco at the u.n. general assembly you can only fool some of the people so many times whatever the words action could come soon trump will announce his decision on the iran deal by the twelfth of this month in a statement the i.a.e.a. refers to a twenty fifteen report that found some activities two years earlier relevant to

the development of a nuclear device but nothing after two thousand and nine britain and france have said the development from israel does not change their view in support of the deal and other signatures remain steadfastly against the way the u.s. appears to be leaning and drew simmons al-jazeera just interesting here the white house made a small but very significant correction to its response to these claims from israel about iran it was a written statement from the white house press secretary which initially said the information released by iran shows that iran has a robust quietest nuclear weapons program but shortly after as they see it with modified to say iran had a robust plan to start a nuclear weapons program the white house calling that one a clerical error let's talk to our own fisher in washington about this clerical errors aside allan the timing of all this is significant i guess as their debate goes on in washington as to what donald trump will do with the iran deal now this apparently conclusive evidence comes out. well there are certainly those who

believe that when benjamin netanyahu made his presentation on monday it was directed at an audience of one and that was donald trump and they point to the fact that he conducted most of the briefing in english he said that the information had been shared with the americans that could have been done some time ago and separately fed into what donald trump has been seeing since he was candidate trump and since he became president that he doesn't believe the iran nuclear deal is a good deal that led him in the rose garden to see what the israelis are saying in he didn't say they were absolutely true but he said if what the israelis are saying it shows that i was one hundred percent right and donald trump likes that idea so there are those in washington who believe the benjamin netanyahu was doing it with the timing to pressure donald trump to pull out of the iran nuclear deal which would be seen as a win for donald trump because he's delivering then on a campaign promise because he said that's exactly what he would do but also it

helps politically benjamin netanyahu get out of a deal that he doesn't like as well it's interesting that some of the information has been shared with the former cia director who is know the u.s. secretary of state might pump here in the last few hours he says that the state department has been translated a lot of the documents has been provided by the israelis and on the face of it from early analysis they seem to be genuine he then says this looks as if the iran deal is built on a lie echoing what the israelis are saying but the fact that might point people would be against the deal isn't really a surprise that's a position he took as a congressman it's a position that he continued to hold and it's one of the reasons he's no u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson said that iran was within the spirit of the deal don't like that and that's why it was fired by twitter ellen what's the timeframe and the housekeeping on this one just to remind our viewers when the decision from donald trump is expected to where it has to happen over the iran deal and how it

has to be i think it's really ratified every every certain number of days. that's right he's done that on a couple of occasions that he has to do under u.s. law but he said when he ratified it the last time he wasn't going to do it again and essentially said fix or next we are going to fix this and come up with things that are outside the general agreement and that signal is i think by everyone when you talk about iran's ballistic missile testing and its influence in the region or unix that you kill it stone dead you've got to remember too that over the last few days just in the last week we've seen a visit from the french president we've seen a visit from the german chancellor and both of them have been saying to donald trump. of the iran deal with gotta stay in and in fact president mccall made the point during a joint session of congress when he said look there is no plan b. if you want iran not to have nuclear weapons this is the best option we've got and

that is the way we've got to keep moving the other issue for donald trump as well as was pointed out to me yesterday donald trump wants to be the anti barack obama anything that barack obama did he doesn't like if you think back to obama care and various other things as well but the iran nuclear deal was a big foreign policy achievement as far as the obama white house was concerned donald trump would like nothing more than to undermine not to unpick it and to walk away from it if he can get a better deal great but he says the decision is due on or before me the twelfth is very donald trump to leave isn't suspense like this to suggest he may change he said people in washington know i want to do but they may not be right but everything points in the direction of him nixing the deal of walking away from the deal we may be wrong donald trump has done that in the past he surprised everyone but everything points to the fact that he wants america to pull the nuclear deal and of course as the iranians have said that collapses everything and as he said if

nothing else he will keep us waiting until you alan fischer in washington thank you for that just what we're talking or a nuclear. a few years ago down to zero dot com the interactive team mapped out iran's nuclear facilities you google maps so it's not some familiar for you to understand you can click on any of these icons here and it explains you know facilities and mines and and processing centers helps you understand more about some of the specifics of iran's nuclear program in the facilities which we do know about so if you search for iran's nuclear sites you'll find that in the interactive section at al-jazeera dot com we'll have a look at the live all see what's happening probably more protests those continuing protests going on in and yet yvonne as they wait for the decision on the prime minister but look at this paris on may day international workers day no we're going to be talking about this a little bit more later on but it's clearly turned a little bit violence there mess in the streets and young people in their hoodies throwing rocks and the like so we'll keep an eye on that actually lots of protests

going on around the world today to mark international workers day standing up for workers' rights ok we're off to london now and here is maryanne demasi with more international news if that's right want to bring out to speed with developments on a story we've been covering the u.n. security council team has demanded a full investigation take place into atrocities allegedly committed against rangle muslims in myanmar and that the un be granted unconditional access to the affected areas the delegates have held talks with me and was de facto leader unsung suchi as well as the head of the country's military on tuesday they visited rangar villages any kind state that were allegedly burned by military forces part of a brutal crackdown launched last august many refugees have been telling the security council team that soldiers would kill and rape bring the villages during the raids myanmar's army chief has promised the un that he will punish any body found guilty of sexual assault. another alarm has been sounded about the war in

afghanistan along with warnings of more attacks to come the u.s. military watchdog says the government's continuing to lose ground to taliban fighters and i still in the past two weeks alone dozens of afghans have been killed in kabul including nine journalists who were killed on monday jennifer goss has mall. special prayers for the dead this morning continues for the twenty five people killed in monday's twin bombing but i saw a tacklers this is a scene being repeated in mosques all across the afghan capital on a hillside on the outskirts of the city shamu ra is being laid to rest one of nine journalists deliberately targeted in the attack the mullah leading the burial prayers says bloodshed is everywhere in afghanistan every day young people are being killed and afghans are tired of the ongoing conflict in all ten journalists were blown up on monday another was killed in eastern afghanistan it was the highest number of killings in

a single day for the afghan media in an already dangerous environment media outlets were attacked that the buildings journalists have been attacked and now a group of media people in green zone of call the city were killed this means that security situation is getting worse than you does in a in a in a position that if it goes like this no one knows what will be happening. on the un says civilian deaths and injuries from suicide bombings and other attacks have doubled so far in the first quarter of this year. many afghans blame the government for failing to protect them. as you are committed to protect our country meant it's all top priority as you know attacks like these take place in developed countries in the west and in countries which do not face old kinds of security problems one of the challenges that house is how to prevent sophisticated attacks on the latest

report from the us special inspector general has more bad news the american military watchdog says the afghan government controls fifty six percent of districts the rest are controlled or contested by opposition groups taleban eisel and other anti-government fighters control twelve percent of the thirty five million population the resilient eisel and resurgent taliban on their spring offensive are facing thirty six thousand fewer afghan security forces this year no reasons been given for the significant fall but recruitment and retention of troops have been a problem for years i get a sense human rights commission says more than nine thousand civilians have been killed or wounded this past year up some marks the commission's expecting a higher number of casualties this year along with a rise in the number of attacks jennifer glass al-jazeera. south korea china and japan will hold a trilateral summit in tokyo next week the latest move in a diplomatic wildwind centered around north korea gathering follows

a historic into korean summit last week when lungi in and kim jong un vowed to pursue denuclearization and the last thing peace treaty you know about reports from seoul and how measures are already being taken to ease tensions. during times of heightened tensions here on the korean peninsula north and south korea have used the loudspeakers to broadcast propaganda messages across the border south korea's messages have included news weather and k. pop music it often provoked an angry response from north korea which tightly controls the information it allows its citizens to access but relations between the two countries have been improving south korean k. pop artists were even welcome to pyongyang recently for a performance and the leader kim jong un was in the audience and as part of the declaration signed between him and south korean president on friday the two koreas agreed the propaganda campaigns would stop south korea begin dismantling its speakers on choose day in the north reportedly did the same and after that historic

summit between the two koreas there's now the possibility that a meeting between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un could take place at the same border village the date and location have not been confirmed yet but donald trump says he likes the idea of having the meeting at the demilitarized zone because he says if things work out there's a great celebration to be had on the site oh i have more from london in just over half an hour's time now back to come on marian thank you for that the homes of millions of syrians could be seized by the government under a new property law syrians have until the middle of next month to present their deeds of ownership or risk losing their properties and this includes the hundreds of thousands of syrians who used to live in rebel controlled areas but have since left and now fear going back to what is government controlled territory this report from seneca. was forced to flee because of the war now he doesn't just fear permanent exile in his own country but losing his home in do much to. the

syrian government is threatening to confiscate the homes of anyone who don't provide land ownership deeds that requires returning to government controlled territory for many that is not an option. hundreds of thousands if not millions of syrians have been forced from their homes many of them left after government forces recaptured opposition territory they fled because they are wanted for opposition activities they could face arrest and some fear they'll be killed others simply don't want to live under the rule of president bashar assad who they blame for the deaths of so many syrians oh no so i would make the property was the last card the regime is using it's punishing the people who betrayed a lot number ten as it is known was published on the syrian state news agencies website the deadline for registration is made the tents and unclaimed land will be

sold at auction the government says the law will overhaul the land registry others disagree we've already seen an example of course of the massacres and in the new development on what was. where actually what happened there is that the informal residents of these areas were forced out of their homes they were dispossessed with no compensation and the likelihood of them getting any kind of compensation is almost nonexistent so i think we will see the same scenario play out over and over again. international aid agencies say just nine percent of syrian refugees and displaced have their property title deeds with them that means millions could be stuck in camps in syria and across the region. this could put pressure on refugee host nations already european countries are voicing concern the german foreign ministry said the legislation could change a property ownership to the benefit of the syrian government and its supporters it

also accused the government. hindering the return of a huge number of syrians yousif shaaban is among them he was an opposition media activist and says returning to government controlled territory would be suicide. this low is dangerous because it changes that demography which the government is doing in areas under its control the law is unjust. the government says the new law is needed to begin the reconstruction of areas damaged by war opponents say it's about demographic changes and repopulating areas with the loyalists one thing is clear the government is taking advantage of its growing strength by beginning to shape syria when the war and. beirut in berlin for us now on skype osama daughter who is a board member of the association of german syrian organization we thank you for your time so let's paint a scenario here a syrian refugee who fled to germany because his or her country was being

destroyed sought refuge there could now lose their house because they're so far away and couldn't get their title deeds back in time or something and i'm oversimplifying here because it just looks like a almost a land grab. well it seems that this is what we're seeing i mean the assad regime has pursued re conciliation policies that amount to war crimes not according to me according to the un and the high commissioner for human rights and this force displacement is now being supplemented by forests dispossession you see the regime has using the instability in the refugees and it created itself to pressure the west to pay for the physical damage that it caused in syria there's different phases to reconstruction humanitarian aid stabilization and then reconstruction and of course the position of the west foremost the u.s. and the e.u.

is to withhold reconstruction assistance to regime areas until a political process emerges and of course in geneva the assad regime has done everything it can to prevent any type of talks and political progress in terms of reconstruction it will wait it's clearly creating a legal framework that ensures reconstruction takes place on its own terms. sorry to interrupt your time it's almost like a reward isn't it if you were in president assad's if you loyal to him and loyal to the country then this is how you get rewarded the other people have got to fight for their own existence well this is what assad has said in several of his past speeches that syria belongs to those who fight for it and here come the benefits for it for its loyalists and punishing the oppositional population and making them making their displacement permanent just remind me how many syrian refugees are

actually in germany and i mean that's the largest percentage is there isn't that right. it is i would say that we have around seven to seven hundred fifty thousand syrians here in germany legally and probably another two hundred fifty thousand in the pipeline with family reunion that is about two thirds of all the syrians within the european union are here in germany second would be i believe sweden with about one hundred sixty two hundred seventy five thousand syrian nationals and this law that you are reporting on now has been causing uproar here because people have have a stake in social reconstruction in syria not only rebuilding the country physically but also the social fabric of society so we as syrian civil suits to wear we're really grateful for the chance to voice our concerns here. and some of

that are joining us from berlin thank you for that to appreciate it. thanks kemal. happy i don't know if you say happy made a but it is may day people around the world went out on the streets marking international workers day this is how they're marking it in paris at the moment look at the scenes there is barricades are pushed down looks like something's on fire there in the background there protests the rallies turning to produce ideas effectively as people as assiduity a remind their employees about the rights of the worker it's a public holiday in many countries the activities are restricted in some places which leads on occasion to decide to scenes that we're seeing in paris at the moment quite extraordinary pictures actually coming out of paris will go around the world as well indonesia here much more peaceful thousands of workers at a rally in jakarta urging the government to raise the minimum wage to ban outsourcing practices and to provide free health care and improve working conditions in the country in turkey as well police fired tear gas and water cannon

and then detained more than two hundred people in may day clashes some anti-government protesters tried to breach a ban on access to tax him where you want more on may day al jazeera dot coms got you covered this is from exactly a year ago the history of the day in the movement in both text and video right at the bottom it's growing video their video report from cuba where they're still revolutionary as the title says i'm a labor day search for that little pop up right near the top of your results as will this bring this up and in pictures gallery showing you pictures from all over the world shots and stories from turkey solved and on penn and many others there are lots of you asking me just before we hit the break on. the iran israel story and people saying well if iran apparently has nuclear weapons doesn't israel as well in fact quite a few people have asked about that much but there are amongst them the short story

is that israel doesn't have a nuclear program but it is widely believed. to have anything between eighty and four hundred nuclear warheads and that's where lot of people say well if israel can have weapons then if iran did want them as well why couldn't they it's a it's a constant argument when it comes to the nuclear issue particularly in the middle east keep your questions and comments coming in the hash tag aging. great if you're watching us on facebook. the story coming your way now. it's about one that change the life of the syrian boy when it went viral and then. this is a new. soaring in sri lanka we're bring you more on that cythera. hello there we're still got quite a bit of cloud around in parts of the middle east at the moment well one weather system that's making its way in from egypt drifting its way towards the east that's

giving us a little bit of unsettled weather but it's really going to pull itself together as we head through wednesday and into thursday on thursday you can see it here of a pulse of iraq and iran that's where we're likely to see the thickest of the cloud and the most significant outbreaks of rain we've also got another system in the far eastern part of our map here that's giving us some severe all the stubborn whether it's sticking around for a couple of days so expect some rain and some snow over the mountains here for the next few days at least even further towards the south and over parts of the arabian peninsula there's more in the way of cloud with this and that's going to stick around over the next few days so we've got one area of cloud that's over parts of yemen and oman that's just in its way eastwards but a great deal of wet weather to that but certainly hiding the sunshine a little bit and we're also going to see the cloud build around the gulf as well so we could just see the order light showers here in doha on thursday a bit further towards the south and there's a sharper showers over parts of southern africa we're seeing quite a few of them in the eastern parts of south africa and there's likely to be

a few more there and also in parts of mozambique there as we head through the day on thursday it is dry air force in cape town. the fact. more of course on the planet one that could soon be lost forever but in trying to save beach. thank you chris you know it's in the meshes you favor extinction tecno on all disease. fresh perspectives new possibilities. thinness jenison just one of the rooms and you have to understand that the whole hospital looks like this debate and discussion so what do you make of that commentary misinformation this instant rumors and false messages award winning prize grants take you on a janni and ground the gland. money on

mt using. this is al jazeera.

the headlines from al-jazeera dot com and what's trending as well that story out of iran still very big as well in fact look at that top three stories in fact concerning either iran or its trail further down more on israel action on the right israel from the parched natural if you want to look something new something different that's where you find out what's trending at all to see we're talking. asylum seekers from the so-called migrant caravan have been allowed to cross over from mexico into the u.s. territory. the latin american migrants have been celebrating the news as they whites maybe their turn to enter the united states took them a month to travel this fall three hundred s. salvador and guatemala at first they were denied entry when the u.s. president told them a threat to american security is sonam say because they are fleeing violence and war. i'm not that far away the u.s. vice president mike pence visited a u.s.

border patrol station in california stressing the administration's commitment to border security. and one hundred fifty men women and many small children that are being processed at our border not far from here will be completely reviewed by our postings officials under our asylum laws and that will take place that's why we we've got to build a wall not just for the physical barrier that prevents but also because of a wall sends a very clear message that we're a nation with borders and we intend to uphold those borders and defend those borders. now as you know we used both what's up in telegram but we were heroes was to keep in touch with people what's very popular telegram it's a bit new or popular and people like it because of its security features etc except in iran and russia ok so i get away well we've been looking into this in more detail but let's explain what telegram is in case you aren't that familiar with it

it's popular in with more than two hundred million global uses and it's ranked as the world's ninth most popular mobile messaging service and it's very well known in russia and iran because as camel said of its encrypt now earlier this month the court announced that the russian government was allowed to block telegram because the after a few years to hand over encryption keys to security services this would give the government access to all messages sent using the app while telegram did fire back with several techniques to get around the blockade like switching ip addresses and encouraging users to rely on virtual private network services this is also known as v.p.n. and the apps found pavel bure of tweeted that they were able to survive under the most aggressive attempt of censorship in russian history while russia's regulator agency responded by blacking out entire subnets it did cause

a mass in internet disruption but was not able to completely block the app well two of has also mobilized an online campaign called digital resistance along with russian opposition parties and these are the scenes that we saw in moscow on monday thousands marched through the capital throwing paper planes a symbol of the messaging app people respond tested against censorship calling for thora to use to unblocked the network these pictures also used from telegrams live feed well amnesty international has a cold. on amazon and google to stand with telegram to resist attempts of the shutdown they say that freedom of expression online is its stake now it is important to note that russia's regulator has already blocked eighteen google and amazon sub networks that telegram used to use to avoid restrictions now iran has followed russia's footsteps and blocking telegram the government says that it's

because of propaganda against establishment terrorist activities spreading lies to incite public opinion anti-government protests and also for productive free the rulers announced that they would no longer use the platform as well people to look at another app that they've set up called so rouche but the information minister has tweeted saying that administering sanctions against al seldes from the modern world will cause backwardness that was his quote it's important to know that twitter is used by the authorities in iran but specifically only for senior officials that is actually blocked there now an estimated fourteen million iranians used telegram to communicate and the app along with instagram was temporarily blocked in the country after anti-government protests took place last year the authorities said that it was because of national security issues a v.p.n. is quite an important tool in this whole exercise it does remain to be seen though

how well this ban will be put into practice but according to google data the restrictions have led to an increase in the use of v.p.n. services specifically in april that we have from some iranians on the move. the. action is going to tell you and. i just heard from some people you rome bureau you have to do syria and the same thing russia did for the. just failure so i'm not sure. if rouhani administration as you go is that you know anything because it's just going to put people in even more situations so they've just given up and to the government. and yes i think iran's decision to filter telegram has nothing to do with limiting freedom of speech to its citizens because of their message and applications are still active and people are using them if you are in iran or

russia we do want to get your thoughts on this move so connect with us is that right thanks we're going to talk to a guest about the sentiment but something else i just want to tell you about which concerns messaging this is what's up as time one of the apps founders young koum has quit and remember what that was bought up by facebook in two thousand and fourteen for nineteen billion dollars stayed on a c.e.o. he's been a member of the facebook board as well but no longer this is how he announced it a very sort of vanilla sort of statement it's been a decade since we started it's been an amazing journey it's time to move on i've been blessed all these sorts of things and then a reply to that from mark zuckerberg himself this is all miss working with you interesting thing though grateful for everything you taught me including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralized systems and put it back in people's hands however the washington post has reported that coombe is leaving because of disagreements over privacy spying what's that facebook has changed the terms of service so it can have access to users phone numbers and its links

different profiles across its products which means you can very can mine data a little bit more easily but the title together with adrian miles joining us from london a freelance technology journalist and consultant so let's start with what rita was telling us about the telegram in russia in iran what do these countries achieve by doing this other than showing that they are into internet censorship and they want to limit what people can talk about but are they knock on effects. well i think these are poster children really trying to make an example of a service. and try and put other people off using end to end correction in their countries the thing with telegram and what other services like signal is that they encrypt messages on the recipients device and decrease on the receivers device so the courts can't successfully order the handing over of keys the companies

running them don't have the keys they don't see the decrypted messages so there's nothing the service the intelligence services all the court all the owners can do to read messages for facebook that means that they're not going to make any money from advertising because they can't read messages and post contextual ads in iran it means that the messages can't be intercepted and it means things can't be sent means that people can work around the state but that said this is as with most things in around this is a battle between the hardliners and the the rest of the government in fact the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei themselves was the king telegram you know until recently to communicate with his followers. in this episode on romney has said that he wants to use telegram sorry to interrupt us when i ask a couple more questions is this a bit like that you know sort of whack

a mole theory with all these messaging apps like ok we're cracked on a what's that we're cracked down on on telegram but all of this signal is imo in the bill always prepared and people will use v.p.n. to find their way around. i think that's absolutely right they have blocked facebook and twitter for years telegram is proving much harder to block they using a technique in the main called the main fronting so that if you block telegram you also block google although google has said they're going to stop a domain fronting being used. with their service and you block amazon web services which is where a very very high portion of website are hosted so you cripple the internet and both in russia and in iran telegram even without a v.p.n. or tour another technology to get round it would not be a new router it stands for. is isn't even necessary in a lot of cases people can still access it and as you say there's still v.p.n.

stay can try and block the fi ends services and other ones pop arpan and the people running the v.p.n. . bring up new ip addresses so as you say it is very much a whack a mole type situation and beyond that even at the extreme level we're going to be seeing more and more satellite internet services coming on stream. and for increasingly low cost which makes it even harder to censor things all chasing our tails around we are dreamers thank you so much for your time to appreciate that . if you don't know what i mean by we. have got a story about a little. jokes about but journalists and politicians this is a white house correspondents dinner.

he is here to talk sport i don't see most solid here today but it's twenty four hours and he'll be back to back it will be back in the main some around richard courage then a day in the down could be about the latest saints were third straight european champions league title but is still having to answer questions about whether or not he may be fired at the end of the season while going to the second leg of their champions league semi against by munich with a two one advantage but the club got a pretty disappointing some of it in the spanish league fifteen points behind new

champions and old rivals boss ally. and i do you go to your comment about barcelona deserve to win the league and they need to be congratulated for us we have the chance to get to the champions league final but we're not there yet and most of the. bus alone are of had a great year they've won two titles winning two titles is not easy at all winning the copa del rey has its merits and little league is even more so but in my opinion winning the champions league equals those two titles and perhaps has a little extra value muslim well here are some pictures of barcelona celebrating the twenty fifth spanish league title of a seventh in the last ten years but it's been three years now since they last won the champions league and this year they gave up that four one first like advantage while getting knocked out by roma in the quarterfinals let us talk now to fernando callouses in madrid a football rights at the spanish newspaper asked thanks so much for being with us phenomenon so is there an easy answer to this is the champions league seen as being

much more important than lily. oh yes here in spain at least seriously it's the biggest one and it's it's much more it everything changes after ninety two we know because it before ninety two only the champion of each country went to the to the championship so it was really hard to win the european cup but now since ninety two that if you see if you see for the last twenty years spanish close we all agree with or barcelona they want half of the champions league know from the last forty years realm of three one three of them you know if real madrid wins again this year is going to be seven for the last ten years so it's when that dominance come to disappoint you know the fans they almost expect their teams barcelona real madrid to be at least on same finals that's why barcelona is really frustrated this year because it's been three years since they got to the semifinals and what's he done this accomplishes something unbelievable you know to win in this kind of

a parity era there we're leaving the be in full. one after another it's simply remarkable i mean it seems remarkable but also he seemed to be under a bit of pressure is it down because of the league season they've had i mean is his job secure the if for example they don't win the champions league this year. it was two months ago but after what everything that they did the way that they rebounded in the second half of the season changed everything you know in the end and that he's a very good technician you know and people i don't think they give the credit that he deserves as a technician so right now i actually talked to two people inside the club they say that his job is safe because everything that he did after that you know like the prices that they have in the beginning of the season so. it's really important for real madrid to win because even the former barcelona president has wronged us but

he says he told after barcelona winning the title of the late leader that these titles could mean anything if around the three wins the champions league so it's kind of rivalry that it transcended from it so it's a right it's an european rivalry right now between barcelona real madrid and i just want to talk quickly about barcelona says' and after the paver with with neymar leaving should we expect that's a basin big new players joining because going out in the quarter finals against reimer is unacceptable for them isn't it. yeah it's unacceptable but the thing is that barcelona is already playing is already paying more than seventy percent of all their incomes in salary of players you know we always talk about maziar and all the form is forming players from young age barcelona changed completely not barcelona spent three hundred fifty million euros more than real madrid for the last three seasons in the real madrid spend the last big spending from real madrid

if this hummus or they get forty years ago so it changes a little because you don't like his young players likes players like ysgol asensio . in barcelona i don't think that they can afford buying anything anybody else in the so i think that's the thing is that when barcelona when we talk about the dominance between the deer exchanging dominance in in europe are still running a realm of that if everybody in spain day think that even a bowl force only real madrid the accomplish everything that they could the only thing that is left for us is that big game it's a real madrid barcelona in the final of the champions league and then when this game come through. to happening it doesn't care for all of you when started teen fourteen it debt when they're off debt game is going to be crowned the real champion in spain that's every play think that that's what everybody in spain is waiting for and the semifinal now just

a couple of hours away thank you so much fun and a cast there joining us from madrid let us know what you think of course you can tweet me directly at and they are underscore sport that we more from me in the eighteen hundred g.m.t. use abba fan out let's get back to come up thank cared and finally theories are i got distracted about this next story pigeon racing in sri lanka perhaps not the first thing when you think of the tropical island nation but it's becoming pretty popular local say it's a great way to unwind feel at one with nature and supporters from bernard smith favorite. now the shalamar reaches for his favorite but irene won the first of a pigeon race here earlier this month and this one. a hindu priest would like more pigeons but says his wife has drawn the line at the hundred or so he has in his yard. i have hundred this bridge and from the time it was twenty one days old i feed and look after it so it identifies recognizes us we spent

a lot of time with the birds even when it's flying in the sky we can recognize which is our this is. it takes a couple of months to train a homing pigeon used for thousands of years to carry messages gracing the birds only became a sporting belgium in the nineteenth century now the sri lankans of picked it up and for the same reasons people world over take up hobbies have a lot of space in my life so i have sleepless nights and all the games a lot of twisting my life so get some sports believe i. thought what i have been it's a start but where are these regions. with wings stamps just in case a bird doesn't make it home they're ready to fly. on this training run the pigeons should make it their coops within a couple of minutes before my champion harini has made it back after an hour later she limps home with a nasty gallop it seems this champion pigeon survived
