ortega's critics say the former revolutionary leader is running a corrupt government protesters want him to step down and the government to implement democratic reforms the opposition really won't be happy with anything less than a premature departure from the presidency of ortega human rights groups say at least one hundred seventy mostly young people have been killed since mid april in confrontations between heavily armed soldiers and demonstrators armed with rocks and slingshots. protesters are calling on ortega's government to end the violence which the president blames on foreign agitators and drug cartels the latest violence flared hours after troops have been signed between the government and civic groups right now there's no external institution and no internal. real leadership that can bring about a change here who doesn't ignore meant the president has yet to respond to demands

for certain is that this is a divided electorate on the one hand you have people who want to see a more secure economy they are the event do k. supporters on the other hand you have people who want to see the insecurities and inequalities of this nation addressed they are the gustavo petro supporters but what's really uniting everyone and worrying everyone in this election is what will happen with the peace accord signed with the fire governors back in two thousand and sixteen is a critic petro says he will keep the whole thing in place but let's take a look at it and do kay take a profile of a relatively new comer to colombian politics and see what his policies are and the challenges he may face. 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.

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 duke it will be little more to the pockets of a former president with a questionable past 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 that works and we need to bring more money to the country and more progress being economically turns. the biggest fear among voters though is do kay's plans for the peace accords with the fark rebels the historic agreement signed in two thousand and sixteen ended decades of conflict but decay is

a critical. event do case running on the campaign slogan 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 odd justice they said desperately seek comments or gomez lost one son to an extrajudicial killing or other was murdered when he tried to find out what happened she tells us the possibility of a duke a presidency makes her angry and will see no justice he says no truth. colombia's voters remain deeply divided on sunday they'll find out who the new president is and what the future might look like when the polls open on sunday morning we're just a few hours away from that happening at the moment all indications are is that duke a has something of a commanding lead but it's also worth noting that gustavo petro is the first

leftist candidate in this country's history to get this close to the presidency by the way by sunday evening colombians will have a clearer idea of what the future holds. u.s. president been using his weekly address to blame democrats for not closing loopholes allow gang members into the country donald trump says the democrats are protecting emigrant criminals connected to gangs such as m.s. thirteen is a ministration is adopted as zero tolerance policy to immigrants crossing the border illegally on us policies of separating children from parents of the in heavily criticized by joe castro has more from washington d.c. facing mounting criticism over his new policy of separating children from their parents who are caught crossing the border illegally president donald trump's side to offer another justification for his so-called zero tolerance policy saturday the president says this policy which aims to criminally prosecute every adult caught

different angles from different perspectives separate the spin from the facts that's why i am going. with the listening on al jazeera. and welcome once again to rewind i'm kemal santa maria since sound as they were english launched back in two thousand and six we've been adding to our collection of award winning films year by year and here on rewind we're showcasing some of them once again today it's

a one on one east film about the abnormally high suicide rate among young indigenous australians each year more than one hundred aboriginals choose to end their lives they are twice as likely to commit suicide as other restrain ians in kimberley and western australia tree stumps they use to mark the site of a suicide and programs based on ancient rituals have been developed to try to help young people find their way from twenty twelve this is australia's last generation . remote and picturesque. the kimberley in north west australia. a vast area three times the size of england. the traditional lands of the good ranges. to take

care of the land. using their bush skills. study but it's a different bank that ensure. what's or what it used to but recently these ranges have had to a quiet a new set of skills. to respond ball to. lloyd know gets younger brother last year the suicide spot the only good ranges to take up a suicide intervention course i lost my little brother. last year. we had my birthday. mowanjum has a population of three hundred fifty people. and is about eight kilometers away from

the town of. it situated in the kimberley. the week before we arrived there had been another five suicides in the region. it's taboo to talk about the aboriginal culture to even say the name of someone who has passed away but we've been invited to speak with people in the community. there's been more suicides there than anywhere else in the region just about every single family has been touched by suicide. is a suicide response worker for the. area has been working here for more than seventeen

news hundred or more has become in this community. very year old kids. want to hang in there actually mark out the tree where i didn't want to hang . out in the kimberley region. in the kimberley region it's probably up to thirty completed in the last twelve months. and that's an epidemic. the spot where people have committed suicide. serving as an eerie reminder of the on time the deaths. families guard down. just like you don't want to see it brings back. bad memories but at night. best friend killed himself here

a few months ago he was just eighteen years old if someone commits suicide it affects the whole community. we're all one big family it's not the first time a man has had to deal with the death of someone close to him. when i was only an adolescent. committed suicide i don't know what for. just turning eighteen so i think about it too. and the sound of suicide stirs him in his sleep. i just like. people shouting in the night saying somebody help this person want to commit suicide or hang themselves.

lloyd no good believes a lack of opportunity is contributing to a downward spiral there's nothing there for them but alcohol and drugs there's nothing exciting or good for them to enjoy. it. takes us to a popular spot the adults and children go to drink alcohol kimberly's along and drink three times as much. struggle you know normal sitting for the boys to have a drink is ninety cans of beer. with copious amounts of know all. and they'll drink and i and then go back next time to sign me up often the whole white on the whole. and not even flinch.

terrence james often finds himself in a drug and alcohol haze we go and have a good time. and broke smoke weed. a few years ago when he was high and depressed terence tried to hang himself. as i hear that happened the oh well here. for the rope he takes me to the site of his suicide attempt oh. come over here to help me understand how you're feeling that day. it was going to get it from going on. waist that broken. and one of my mind in my mind that school blank you know the day no one went over here to i'm one of them and with them. getting one.

just. like over them in war it would mean and over. in my muscles. the public who were all going to grab the rope when. they were home. would you do it for you would you want a good feel for. where the northern territory would mean yes so side right is three and a half times the national average wedding to an indigenous camp to say how culturally appropriate methods are being used to heal and save they are.

david cole runs which means creation in the local language it's about giving the kids a safe place and a culturally appropriate place to just have some time out get away from things play them on share some tools of the. can some say the understanding and. for the challenges i got. to just let things go and how is it culturally appropriate the biggest aspect of the problem is cultural reconnection it's getting the kids to build their self-esteem and pride through identity and culture and that's a key component of the program. for about a week at this one nine high risk youths are being put to task. for.

making traditional weapons to help break connect them to their ancient culture. more than forty thousand history. with traditional dance i. and smoking ceremonies to cleanse. but one of these adolescents have thought of committing suicide and are recovering from drug and alcohol addictions. we can't identify them because they're under age ranging from twelve to sixteen years old. to early and hoping to heal. the broken families the loss of identity the various forms of abuse physical mental emotional. substance abuse drug and alcohol. can be drug and alcohol around the

kids and ultimately the kids being embroiled in that substance abuse themselves. is first indigenous psychologist professor pat dudgeon. says substance abuse is a symptom of largest social issues i think that indigenous people are still dealing with all the problems that are a consequence from. all of that prying has been left unattended and just manifested through the generations and that plane passed on to the children and site has led to the children that we have today who at the end of that they don't understand the price that i must understand where it comes from and i don't understand why they must endure such crying. this

fifteen year old who can bring is one boy who wanted to end his life. she can and i'm angry just. now so awful. what do you do with that anger. do bad things. because. that's where you find the drunks and stuff like that with a little help from nature david cole is trying to show these adolescents how to isolate their problems. if there's violence broken family if there's been past abuse if there's been whatever it is every challenge every problem that bothers you or is on your mind i want you to get iraq i want you to just paul along the edge of the war. the bigger the problem the bigger the rock. that is how do

they feel is it hurting. and that's what problems do you if you refuse to find ways of releasing it you will have to carry this pine tree a whole lot you have to learn you have to be willing to learn how to let go i had a lot of sort of pre. there. young people need to be given. that they culture. being cultural activities and feel that they are part of a community and a cultural community. so we're only going to a small healing session a meditation and marking to finish for. this is the healing circle. and indigenous version of a counseling session. which is going to go through

a very. reading meditation technique. in accordance with aboriginal custom for the young boys to speak at the healing circle but they're encouraged to. who. we are. both. cameron says the camp has made him feel stronger. like. and. respect and. more. the challenge lies in keeping these boys on track after they leave the balun you camp it's really hard it's hard for us because. thirty percent of the kids are extreme heart risk area and there were kids to be deeply involved in substance

abuse are the ones who are looking at some sort of an option from the sky. with their lack of resources and lack of appropriate funding and support we we can't do adequate follow up marion scrymgour is an outgoing state minister in the northern territory government she skeptical that money from a controversial steadily government package is reaching indigenous communities under the northern territory emergency response there was a story billion dollars that significant tax payers money that's gone into what people think has gone into these communities a lot of their money is spent on bureaucrats consultants a lot of people fly in fly out from these communities there is very little money that goes into prize grains and for working with families working with communities

so that they can build it and start dealing with that with the trauma. she says she's leaving politics because she doesn't believe it's hoping aboriginals enough heck can i sit in this job any longer i don't what i'm doing. we've got i ten year old young kids killing themselves. it's clear something is wrong. their communities have got to start taking some strong staying. because there's not going to be a generation left. we're heading east of darwin to the picturesque and largely indigenous land just a few years ago the king. it hits gave me the highest rates of having time no well at its highest point average for the elderly ladies decided to take matters into their own hands.

is a ski beach she says it was the hanging suicide of a twenty one year old that sparked a cluster of other suicides in her community he was the first one to commit suicide the first time his community in this community. also committed suicide that was when her family took action seven years ago creating a volunteer service called the manga suicide prevention group what do you do to prevent suicide in the community. of walk me and my sisters we walk the streets and listen for the noise where it's coming from. the women run a twenty four hours suicide watch often patrolling the streets with only small torches they mediate in family issues and mental troubled youths will probably up the next

day go to their house and sit down have cuppa tea read with their peers then and so they were noting that angry with brits like cancelling. local police say the group's work has been invaluable for boys that since they've become operating i think there's been a suicide in their area and while suicide numbers have dropped there's been a shop rise in attempted suicides looking at the figures from thirty two thousand treated to have an eye where there was forty or ten now and just as two year period two and a half he's the one hundred thirteen that's a significant increase. is nick still bears the rope marks from his suicide attempt to weeks ago. group intervened just in time to save the twenty three year

old. two months. the reason i've been doing this was because my biggest problem is with alcohol and once i start drinking alcohol i start losing control i would think things like my family doesn't love me and i want to go hang myself with the money i don't want to learn to new i want to change my life a better life so that i can spend time with my son go hunting and fishing with him and do good thing on the. back in mowanjum terence told me he wants to cut down the tree where he attempted suicide. or live kind of you know man. well to me that's a step of someone going forward with a positive move. but then remove something of a symbol that. they want to end their life with.

in its own way the community too is giving itself the space to heal the trees were families but people commit suicide it's up and down but we don't actually care as. the time it takes to grow back gives us the time to get over forget about it. while suicide remains a scourge in aboriginal communities across a stray it appears that family and culture is indigenous australia is best hope to saving the young. australia of last generations so that was back in twenty twelve which leads us to ask how successful have those schemes been in reducing the suicide rate where we're

joined now by psychologist professor pat dudgeon who you recognize from the film a former commissioner of the stray and national mental health commission she teaches at the university of western australia and actually runs a number of suicide prevention projects focusing on aboriginal communities it's great to have you with us here on ri one professor dudgeon you really believe then that that local approach works oh absolutely look every gentle interest right on the people have been just some pad there's a whole lot of issues facing women not just us and a stride in this old. would remain issues for indigenous people of settler countries such as in new zealand canada and the states where recovery from call on is a really important issue and what we do on the names that enable people to become empowered to control their own destinies to control their own resources to decide what the problem is and to be given the right information to decide what the solution is

twenty twelve when the film was made the wood epidemic was used to describe that situation in western australia and i'm not suggesting for a moment that this would be fixed overnight but we are now six years down the track the levels are still high there are some reports which talk about one hundred times the national average in western australia. i mean would you have expected or certainly hoped for it to have come down more look i think that sometimes those figures have been a tad sensationalized suicide writes however having said that suicide rights do a mind very high we're still twice the national average suicide is a fifth leading cause of death and some i groups indigenous people are seven times more likely to type their laws of the papal and northern territory actually is a mage in as having the greatest state average of suicide when you have

having high suicide right something is going terribly wrong you mentioned some other countries a little bit earlier places like new zealand and canada what is the common factor with these indigenous communities around the world including the aboriginal australia that leads to the high suicide rates ah look there's a commonality of a range of different things but odd side that certainly i think there is an affinity with those other countries because they were indigenous people in those countries the countries were taken and sometimes very almost tong's very brutally so we've had processes of colonize asian you know being removed genocides being removed off country put into reserves missions residential schools and then having new laws dictated to enforce legislation so there's a history told the countries that are about people losing their they draw it's

losing their countries and losing their human rights which needs to be we need to go into recovery about certainly in a stride the there was denial of that part of that process of history that's now starting to change change around certainly are proud then prime min. kevin rudd's apology to the stolen generations was one of the ways really historical moments where there was an acknowledgement of the harm done and a genuine polity given for that hound so i think that we as a nation can start healing when ownership and and this is a truce or non est between different groups professor pat dudgeon former commissioner for the australian national mental health commission it's been a pleasure talking to thank you for joining us my pleasure kemal and that is it from us to join us again next week and also be sure to check out the rewind page at al-jazeera dot com for more films from the series i'm come out santamaria from the

works to end the crisis in the yemeni port city of her data. and we go inside a factory where children are being paid a dollar a day to make cigarettes in bangladesh. they were turned away from italy a week ago now the first bunch of refugees migrants has arrived in the spanish port of valencia well in two hundred seventy people are expected to disembark shortly there among more than six hundred people originally on board the rescue ship aquarius sparked an international outcry many of them from south sudan and eritrea rescued off the coast of libya these are live pictures from. expecting those migrants and refugees to disembark from that ship has just arrived within the past hour and the spanish port hole joins us now live from valencia college was the

first of three ships pulling into the dock what happens now so these refugees and migrants who are on board. that's right laura we're looking right now at the italian coast guard cutter that that's the largest of the three vessels we understand there are more than two hundred seventy people on board that the nab has docked in the last few minutes as far as we know right now and none of the migrants have begun disembarking and spanish medical personnel haven't began boarding the ship either because that is going to be the first step the first people aboard are going to be medical personnel they're going to do a quick health check of these passengers to and they will give preference to air that pregnant women the children if in if there's an urgent need they will be taken by ambulance to the hospital at once that process has been completed then the migrants will begin to disembark and the spanish police will start to register in

them process them before transporting them by bus to reception center about a mile or two kilometers from where we are now. after that boat is being processed that will move away from dock side and then we understand that the aquaria ship will come in and then in an into full of about another two or three hours then the third and final vessel the audio only will arrive and disembark its passengers as well after the end of the day what we're likely to see then are the migrants aboard these three vessels being sent to various reception centers in the general area of valencia that's where they'll receive temperature shelter and that's where the whole process will begin to decide who of these are refugees and will be granted permanent leave to stay and who are migrants and who could risk being turned back and sent back to the place right where they came from laura give us a bit of background here why have these people been so long at sea.

well as you say they've been turned into a political football so to speak they've been floating adrift for more than a week now when they were first picked up by the rescue ship aquarius off the coast of libya but the populist government in italy turned the aquarists away they said no this is not going to be your first port of disembarkation the italian government the populist government is accusing the n.g.o.s operating in the mediterranean almost of operating a ferry service to my parents and so that then sparked the political rant between italy and france and into the phrase step the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez he had only been a couple of weeks in the office of prime minister and this was really his chance to step onto a more international stage act as the honest broker and so he has offered to receive these three ships in here in the lead and that is what has happened now

spain of course is another of the front line migrant states and just to put this in perspective at the time that these six hundred twenty nine migrants are arriving here aboard these three vessels well in the last thirty six hours alone more than a thousand other migrants have been arriving in much smaller vessels along spain's southern coast so certainly this may be of the line the end of the journey for a lucky few but of course as we know europe's migration crisis is far from resolved or indeed it is ok for now we'll leave it there thanks very much carbon will bring us all the latest from the port city of valencia they can see the first of three ships that is just docks in the past hour carrying hundreds of refugees and migrants many from south sudan and eritrea they were rescued off the coast of libya but refused entry in italy and molten spain finally agreeing to take them on to

land a week after they were first rescued. grace's government has survived a no confidence vote in parliament over a deal to change the name of its northern neighbor macedonia prime and select the state press had been accused of making too many concessions for the deal which will be signed on sunday macedonia will not change its name to the republic of north macedonia ending a twenty seven year dispute with greece jones or uplifts reports from athens. i think evening ended in acrid smoke and acrimony protesters who tried to enter the parliament compound were met with tear gas that sent hundreds of peaceful demonstrators running for cover some were overwhelmed as what had begun with a crowd which included children and the elderly ended with riots the government has agreed to allow the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to call itself northern macedonia but that's not what the opposition finds most dangerous our main

objections not the about them the name it's about the macedonian language in the dunny a nationality that it's been recognized by this name. and this is stunning and acceptable from the from the greek people it's something that nobody in the past has had there except that there is no much the language and there is no much the nation the government says the agreement recognizes only a macedonian nationality not an ethnicity hailing back her legs under the great but people here feel the finer points of law won't be respected pathnames can ask mother when these macedonians travel abroad are they really going to introduce themselves saying i'm a macedonian of slavic background and my language is slavic and i really have nothing to do with alexander the great these things the difficulty guarantee why didn't they pick another name like america for example mixed with greece lifting its veto on nato's invitation to northern macedonia next month many people believe the deal will be irreversible many greeks feel that if they give in and the other

side will take a mile they don't trust the northern neighbors to. there are claims on greek heritage and territory and once their leverage is gone it's gone forever so they are unhappy that the government has rushed into what they see as a bad agreement the government says the agreement is the best possible following greek blunders and inertia going back decades and could lead to good things yeah mash yes eventually march for us this government is the priority of our national judy is to develop the role of greece in the regions to escape the crisis and to head towards growth in line with the whole regions no one wants a solution to this problem more than us. the government survival comes at a cost one m.p. voted for the censure bringing its majority down to one hundred fifty three in the three hundred seat legislature only three votes shy of a general election jumps are all plus al-jazeera athens. and yemen a un envoy is in the capital found off the talks concerning the port of hyundai
