in route to europe more than a million people crossed and there were three times as many dates most migrants now come through northern africa search and rescue n.g.o.s have diverted to deploy from italy all motor he says the north the moment we are witnessing a decrease in arrivals in recent months the figure of the decrease does not stop us running with people who come are in terrible physical and psychological condition. these were the latest arrivals more than one hundred fifty people reach south in sicily on friday we are here and we will perform. as long as we will be able to perform we are performing rescue and we would be performing in the future that is possible. and sometimes there is good news ten days ago a baby was born on risky ship the aquarius at two point take kilograms she was named miracle the mother was found stranded off the coast of libya the now unsisterly.

life would be if the two outcomes migrants must consider before they board a boat to europe charlotte ballasts. anti immigrant sentiment seems to be rising across europe with slovenia becoming the latest country to elect a populist party following its neighbors italy and hungry but although former prime minister younis young right wing party won the most votes in the election it fell far short of a majority and you know back as more from libya. is a former prime minister once disgraced by a corruption scandal but now you understand and his slovenian democratic party are back on the political map. his hardline on immigration secured his party victory in this election immigration has been at the top of the political agenda since two thousand and fifteen when half a million people playing ball pass through slovenia on their way to the best in europe close a playful pose almost foreign challenges that are part of the domestic challenges

including modern crisis so it's a challenge for the whole of the e.u. during a biggest wave of mass migration we told our european partners that a better large should be in short supply back in their countries and not in europe listed on his nearest challenger was comedian turned politician martin charles leader of the new center left party whose three more trussell trust the first it is impossible to bias he said it publicly before the elections that we will not enter a yani stance as coalition let's give time to the relative let's give him the chance to form a government and then we will see what happens if we have this opportunity they will form the government. the snap election was called after the sudden resignation of prime minister. he stepped down in much due to a failed railway a project he's credited with boosting slovenia's economy up to recession but it wasn't enough for voters here. slovenia once a part of former yugoslavia joined the european union in two thousand and four

a government led by an agenda which if slovenia to the right and add an anti immigrant voice to the analysts say young has a big challenges ahead the electorate is here in the voices are hungry are all and it's ocular to you know go after go after and immigration policies after say that you will draw a crowd you know dream the song. said he's a leader who has had the chance he hasn't done it so far will he do it this time around it's a big question but the bigger question is can he even form a government even though young is young says martin vaughan most votes in this election when you find yourself in a difficult position it will be very hard for him to find a willing partner in the other party won a coalition most of them don't share his political beliefs. so in your local as a former m.p.'s living in his social democratic party she's now the executive

director of the central and eastern european network for gender issues she joins us on skype from libya on a very good to see you why is immigration such an issue. we can see how. in my gut i think our country going to west and north. and. we realize. you need not have. issue of how to deal with. and this is why i think the. right. really if it was. ok but the refugees don't stop in the country

they prefer to go somewhere else they just protecting themselves in case this changes is that what it's all of us. i think we saw a little on the micro end so it. would be. sent back to the front of the. not living shows and only that. and when it comes to solid is there going to be any sort of solidarity any common ground in order to form a government. i'm sure that we would have a very big because. the first. government we would be of but two of the we know that actually want to leave the my. god i'm quite sure that the government. the first.

time. and then we would have the. whole. nation. migrants. tried to call on the government but they also have that problem they have enough in the parliament but they are on the scene what sort of impact do you think this will have on the country right now the longer it takes to form a government. i think. we are looking for. the big. and. even any government. really. is very different. and. i think. we have a lot of. money. and

we would need. a government. more on that. and the. hosting but. i. am trying to answer the question. by. keeping an eye on this thank you very much for talking to us. i think there's been a large explosion at a polytechnic university in afghanistan we know that it happened in the capital kabul women of the country's top clerics gathering that's fine up more from jennifer glass joins us now from kabul what happened jennifer. it was

a gathering of the top clerics and bullets from around the country about two thousand they predict. that the things that make their gathering minister when that suicide bomber went off actually they had just come to an agreement saying that suicide bombings were they issued a fatwa against suicide bombings of an islamic really against suicide bombing saying that bombing of of muslims was an islamic and then that's when this a suicide bomber set himself off at the gate this explosion happened at the gate the police chief confirms at least four people have been killed we do know that some of the injured were taken to a nearby police hospital not far from that area but it was a very very large gathering really intend to shore up support for the peace process they called on the taliban to accept the government's under the government's deal for peace in february president ghani offered the taleban to come to the peace table really an unreserved deal to come to the peace table the clerics calling on

the taliban to do that and then this bomb happened and talk us through what do you think the message is we don't obviously know who it is at the moment but what the message might be and what it suggests about if it is the taliban the strength that the have at the moment. well look what we've seen here both the taliban and beisel have proven themselves to be able to disrupt major events areas places here in kabul and around the country and i think it really is a message to the government that they can attack where they want when they want despite heightened security despite heightened intelligence everyone had been on high alert because this gathering was going on a lot of roads have been closed down to try and keep this from happening but this is a huge city very difficult to protect these attacks even the head of the commander of nato says he wish it wasn't it is difficult it wasn't so easy for these people to get in the country because of the afghan security forces the police and nato forces supporting them and training them are doing their very best but we've seen

a series of attacks here in the afghan capital and around the country as the taliban exerts its power and we see a resurgence i saw as well jennifer thank you still ahead on al-jazeera. for a large grocery make an awful lot of money just a costly crisis the battle between count on getting nations to win over washington . make future for the children of gaza many of them fronting mental health problems. oh you just told. me today the weather sponsored by qatar airways hello there we've got plenty of thunderstorms over europe still those in the east have been giving us very large hail stones also very heavy downpours and some

hello and welcome again to rewind i'm laura kyle and this series we're revisiting some of the best documentaries on al-jazeera english since we launched more than a decade ago back in twenty thousand the people in power series traveled to west africa to expose the shocking story of how young gone and children were being murdered because of the mistaken belief they were possessed by evil spirits no one knows the exact numbers of these ritual deaths across gonna b'nei became a fast so and parts of nigeria but some believe it could be in the thousands the killing of these so-called spirits children is the consequence of ancient customs shaped by ignorance and poverty in this compelling program award winning gone then investigative reporter and mass r m a o n a s used hidden cameras to bring some of those behind these killings to justice from two thousand and thirteen his spirit child some west african communities have branded children born deformed or with

disabilities as evil spirits they are seen as a drain on limited resources and so medicine men often acts to perform rituals and prepare poisonous concoctions to kill them thousands of defenseless children have been made of this. my name is a mass area and mass i am an investigative reporter because of the work i do i never show my face. i've come to non being done not to investigate disparate child phenomena food is scarce here even children must wait for the family to. mount a long grey season has come all families move into the big city looking for work or to sell the animals. living on the edge of survival there before for a disabled child is greatly feared it's seen as a terrible burden on their family an extra month to feet their child won't be able to help in their field and neither will its mother who will have to devote

a precious time to it out of this fear and tradition has gone they believe that such a child is a spirit child an evil presence that must be destroyed before it threatens the survival of the family it doesn't even need to be disabled image child in a family where things are wrong can be branded as evil and when this happens all this in the community known as compulsion mean paul didn't poison the child. i'm a marked out poor. is it even if. that hugely. emotional. intellectual. immoral. well. they will. abuse. i'm ok but.

who are. you my lad my man of my mid. i don't need a solid bad to me if you can. add by saying laziness it is done to you. and. i'm heading for a place known locally as they will forests because the bodies of spiritual drain have been buried here for centuries. this is here at the only indication to show that if children were varied here the concoction men had their bodies under the stones to prevent animals from digging them up this forest remains green and still standing because the local people are afraid they

are scared that the evil forest would eat them up local and jews have often used dialogue to talk to community members to stop this practice advocacy has been successful to some extent but has not been able to eradicate this from the community. we are in a more democratic than now law enforcement must take over to stamp out this once and for all but we can't find any record of anyone ever been arrested for what can only be described as a dreadful crime i've come to police headquarters in bogotá than that to meet their original commander and fame out why it is a very difficult thing to do it is a very difficult thing to do even if you get the information one is new where it is happening who are behind and who in current events so you come mount machine and good and it's unfortunate we have no idea why this is happening who are behind or these and why or this why the of morgan obviously. it

is being done on the quiet and you never know. if the police can find the everything maybe i can my plan is to find some concoction men to invent a so-called problem child and see if they will diagnose it as an evil spirit then i am to catch them in the act of trying to poison a colleague has agreed to let us use coffee is eighteen month old son to play the part of my spirits up when the concoction men come to do the deed but obviously i can't risk his life so at the last moment we will be straight with the contents of this suit a similar looking of a child made from silicon by a movie props company in london. shortly i suppose you can feel. my first step is to integrate into the community i'm moving to see the historical headlamp of this bridge you know me where i have rented this property. would

separate buildings and two entrances it's perfect for my plant. in three weeks of investigation i've already met fourteen individuals spread over an area the size of libya from nodding their head to neighboring booking. person who admittedly did kill spirit children before him of this said they were willing to poison my chops now it's time to do a deal with one of them a broker who has a good beat i've told him that he's my son was born nothing has gone right i've lost money and make us have broken down now we are meeting to make the final arrangements. to lend it up. here lend it to you. eleven emphatic and never let. me take you i thought extinct about two and more. than that i mean. do you
