international organs the un the e.u. the general secretary of the organization of american states to accompany a scene the strengthening of the peace talks. it's been welcomed by the opposition because the government are using paramilitaries against protesters. we know that there is intimidation and we know that there are some movements that have been active and some one is apologies and the intimidation those groups of police those groups of civilians using weapons of war don't create an environment of peace. gangs of armed men room the streets of managua they warn residents to stay indoors where their lives would be in danger activists blame the gangs for a spate of attacks and killings over the last two months the man who filmed this video says he saw men taking down anti-government barricades and that they traveled with a police escort the government denies any connection to the armed groups but the opposition says the violence is a sign of desperation by president daniel ortega. and the more mean the moment when

expected to meet in the border region of sepsis to sign the agreement on sunday under the deal macedonia would change its name to the republic of north macedonia but nationalists on both sides see it as a humiliating defeat. in athens standing by and of course the debate seems to be continuing. that's right the debate is ongoing inside paula we expect a vote or she is from now it's become quite chaotic here as you can see behind me there's been a protest that began yesterday morning outside parliament it was supposed to go on until sunday night and right now the protesters have closed off the street which means that all of this traffic is now stuck here behind me the debate is becoming increasingly acrimonious involvement in the form a conservative prime minister and foreign minister who handled master she back in the ninety's and he expressed an argument that is common in the opposition he said

it's natural that you'll being congratulated by world leaders for closing this issue that's what they've always wanted but you've only closed it temporarily the opposition believes as he put it that either this deal will fail or it will cause constant eruptions because the only thing it does is to open the door to nato you've given everything away and secured nothing this is i'll give that greece's ability to block macedonia will form a full when yugoslav macedonia as entry into the european union is a one time deal but they can following this agreement or need on their obligations greece can last and the fail on the part of the conservatives is that by giving anything away to the other side it will encourage. the most extremist ultra nationalist elements. to the north of greece who will then proceed to renew that

calls for a greater macedonia which includes greek territory is the debate as fierce and as divisive in the public domain john. yes i think that argument very accurately reflects what people have been telling us on the street people feel the government capitulated under international pressure there's very little discussion on the streets of the governments arguments that this could possibly instead of opening a new period of acrimony and confrontation in older age a period of cooperation the government position was also collated by the deputy prime minister yesterday and column and he said that the argument in the debate of the conference is being done simply to destabilize the government and. the opposition is selecting to take a very phobic and stagnant view of the world without

a deal. he believes the former yugoslav macedonia will simply become somebodies protectorate it will be on able to hold itself together as a sovereign nation which the government argues is increase his interests and if we do go ahead with the deal people leaves the balkans can become a greater. entity within the european union a subsystem as he called it a social bloc vote within the union rather than greece standing up for itself alone on the various foreign and defense policy issues that only greece really. stands for at the moment because it's an isolated corner of the union and he believes that it will lead to greater prosperity and cooperation in trade so there's very little discussion of that on the street greeks are mostly focused. what they stand to lose and what the leverage will be the following day after this agreement is signed but we'll see what does happen when that vote does come in for the moment john thanks

started to change of a sense. our primary objective is to draw on the bases of these orphans as we buy them closer shoes for instance we're trying to help them come out of the trial that you war the loss of parent the psychological trauma i personally feel as if they're all my own children and having myself grown up an orphan i don't want them to go through the same conditions as i did. and was two years old when her parents were killed in a raid by the syrian army she's trying to cope with the trauma. nurse of eight that hussein prepares her for the celebration which marks the end of the fasting month of ramadan in mosul down our city and then it i'm in charge of twenty girls between the ages of three in ten i provide total care for them including health and psychological needs they came here and deplorable condition afraid to mix and communicate with others so we socialize with them and try to give them hope in a way out of misery. once this to be

a memorable one for the one hundred children here solved they were taken shopping. in addition to new clothes they got other gifts. or maybe adequate yes it is great for today they brought us the nicest clothes and presents i've lost the dearest people that i had but thank god we've been compensated i have a nurse whom i feel like my own mother she feeds me and teaches me and even babes me and does my hair she provides me with everything i need. on top of the list of things they need is education classes suited to different ages are taught here are also different forms of entertainment such as theater can play is music and evenings and games but this little haven of peace that's been created here could come under threat at any moment this area is one of a few territory system under the control of syrian army continues to launch attacks

in an effort to take it the war from which these children have not really scaped may yet with their lives at risk they are the most vulnerable victims of a conflict that's been going on for more than seven years it's not known exactly how many orphans there are in syria but according to unicef the war has left over five million children in need of humanitarian assistance more than half of them were forced to flee their homes to live as refugees mostly in neighboring countries . and near the turkish syrian border. that's why the nih has robbed us of a third tropical storm hitting the region of central america particularly the first two hurricanes this one won't quite make it this is coming off the coast near acapulco the satellite pictures show the swat disk here is it you won't see an eye because it's not really developing it's just in this massive cordon interesting regions this what's called carlotta i'm not going to give you any figures because

really it's just it's a rain risk for acapulco for this general area but next one this mass of white here on the yucatan peninsula that's already given hundred thirty five millimeters that's got a ten twenty percent chance of developing into a tropical storm in which case that's quite a dangerous one because it's over the wall most of the gulf of mexico now prior to this one that's developing was harkened but that became a category four hurricane and then just page when it crossed back a california that is it is that massive vague tides go across the desert area in the north of mexico this is right you have left only fifty three minutes is progress even less that because it's drawing in dry air but it means it's watering the sonoran desert which is a beautiful thing of course doesn't take much more to create a blooming that does it and it still falling i think in a cost to arizona as well first rate for three months now the bigger picture would come across the board and i have a back up here at these few green dots around chicago may see nothing much to you

a part of economic reforms to save around three billion dollars egypt aiming to view about foreign investors to the economy crashed following the arab spring uprising seven years ago lodge's mundo has an egyptian political analyst joins me now via skype from zero eight good to have you with us on the program i mean globally the public generally don't like any price hikes but in egypt how sensitive is this move to be received from the government. well it's very sensitive but we have to see it as a continuation of the. i.m.f.'s . back on with. all of you so it is very sensitive but it's not the first one and it won't be the last and it was preceded by also. hike in water and in

other. government. services it did i mean we've seen the slow and steady removal of subsidies on food and stuff like that in recent months how does this sort of fit into the much wider economic plan that the government has and is it enough to woo foreign investors back into the country like president sisi would like. no it's not enough for the very simple reason is that the military has been expanding. aggressively into the economy in a way that is actually. determined to the local private sector as well as attracting. foreign. investors it would be rather difficult to compete with the. military with with or all of it. machinery. control all the all of the

cheap leverage that it controls so all this is not the key here is a reversal of the military economic expansion if that's the case we've seen how price hikes for example can cause unrest regionally we've recently seen huge demonstrations in jordan we've also seen saudi arabia in the last year or so tighten its purpose and see foreign workers head back to their home countries because the saudis can't afford to keep their servants in one form or another. is that what egypt is weary of. of course egypt at the moment is like a pressure. cooker. it will stop it will happen the question is when and how and the government seems to be pretty oblivious that that and it continued with.

policies that are adding massive. pressure is on the middle and lower class but for the moment certainly see what happens and what the reaction is from the public in egypt as the days press merger monday or thanks for joining us from xerox and thank you very much thank you more than seven hundred palestinian residents of a neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem are waiting a decision from israel's high court which could determine their right to live in their own homes their challenging a ruling that transferred ownership of the land under their homes to a jewish trust more than a decade ago many of them have already been subject to eviction notices how the force that has more. the steep slopes of civil war on an occupied east jerusalem have in recent years become ever more dotted with jewish settler homes now one palestinian community within this neighborhood is coming under further pressure so here as are these family has lived in but on the howard for more than fifty years

his father bought this house he has the documents that he says prove his claim but since twenty fifteen he and his family have been living under the threat of eviction. we were shocked we had lived here i was born here grew up here and married here me my brothers and my kids we're all here the whole family is here a jewish trust claims ownership of the neighborhood citing a deal struck in the late nineteenth century providing homes here for yemeni jews in two thousand and two the justice ministry rewarded the land to that trust now controlled by a process and organization that buys and builds homes in occupied east jerusalem now palestinians with homes here have petitioned the high court the state's attorney in the case admitting procedural failings in the way the land was transferred the residents argument is that the ottoman era law which is being used in the attempt to a victim has been misinterpreted that it should have implied ownership only over the buildings that were once lived in by jewish occupants here not ownership of the

land it still remains. and they point out that in a separate dispute over land elsewhere in east jerusalem the government ruled that land ownership was not conferred by the law judging in that case that a muslim trust shouldn't be awarded the rights to it or get it loks our problem is that we oppose the jewish claims that this area is a jewish and even the court has issued a verdict against the arabs the right wing jewish organization involved a terror at koa name declined our request for an interview on the court case but it is generally happy to promote its work increasing the jewish presence in east jerusalem so hero john b. has placed security cameras around his home for evidence of his own in case of disputes with acetylene neighbors the larger dispute over the ownership of this land will be decided in israel's high court harry for sit out his era occupied east jerusalem. colombians choose their next president in sunday's runoff election the choice for voters is between the left wing candidate gustavo petro and his conservative rival decay something decay could jeopardize

a historic peace deal with the far gravels and and decades of war. in colombia memories are a precious commodity especially in a nation where thousands have been killed by the colombian military deaths referred to as extra dudish all executions the military use those deaths to falsely claim they've killed more guerrillas jacqueline chrystia lost her brother ten years ago see them and sadly we can say there is a sense of indifference in society to the plight of the victims we need people to stand up and say we can't let this happen again we need to end it for good but instead people often don't seem to care. the deaths of innocent civilians are just one of the issues even duke a will face if elected at forty one he's a fresh face in colombian politics untested and handpicked by former president alberto. levy has been accused of human rights abuses but remains popular among right wing voters critics fear do they will be little more than the puppet of

a former president with a questionable past but those in the business community welcome his economic policies keep things that we need to keep growing we need to insert ourselves of economic international economic networks and we need to bring more money to a country a more prosperous economy turns. the biggest fear among voters though is do kay's plans for the peace accord with the falk rebels the historic agreement signed in two thousand and sixteen ended decades of conflict but decay is a critical. event duke is running on the campaign slogan and war hard but it's what he may do with the peace accords with many here concerned some say the agreements up entirely other cities more likely to modify it but for the thousands of families that have lost loved ones a duke a victory could mean they won't get the truth or justice they said desperately seek kamens or gomez lost one son to an extrajudicial killing her mother was murdered when he tried to find out what happened she tells us the possibility of a duke
