elections will be the first since robert mugabe was forced out of power last year or president says the attack was one of many assassination attempts against him. this is. james. brings us more now from johannesburg right now on social media people talking about how safe is it to attend these rallies what if there's another attack so people are concerned about that of course they're also asking who could have been behind this could it be a specific individual is it a group of people are these attacks like it increase as we head up to those elections so far the campaign has been relatively peaceful so people are quite surprised as actually happened they also surprise how this individual managed to

get so close to the president and throw that grenade so a lot of uncertainty right now but again the president telling zimbabweans keep calm the security officials have things under control people much as prepared for these elections which he is will happen at the end of july meanwhile if you open his new prime minister escaped a grenade attack at his first mass rally in the capital addis ababa one person was reported dead and more than one hundred sixty people injured r.b.a. ahmed has announced a series of major reforms since taking office in april. reports. this was the moment the grenade exploded close to where prime minister abby asked why it was sitting. for a few moments there was confusion before members of the security forces came onto the stage and led to safety. witnesses say they saw the man who targeted the prime minister there's a prime minister we're just concluded his speech and that moment there was

a grenade. but i think the guy was just trying to stroll the stage. beside him just took him. just went off and on sunday it was a bloody end to a day that is started with say much optimism hundreds of thousands of ethiopians had gathered in the capital addis ababa mescal square to support the new prime minister since taking office in april the forty two year old has announced a series of reforms including the release of tens of thousands of prisoners the opening of state owned companies to private investment and to propose peace deal with eritrea in an address to the nation after the attack be said that those trying to divide ethiopia would not succeed in your my family while that but that i'm not certain groups planned and coordinated to destroy this large gathering to kill

innocent people and to spill blood on our streets they have tried very hard but their entire plot has failed the questions are being raised about whether the security operation for such a large rally was adequate some of the officers have been saying that this is an attempt on the life of the prime minister and the definitely the supporting the rally was a great demonstration that there is a solid support for the reformist by the prime minister for the same time the the great attack have revealed that the reforms are still fragile prime minister abbey says he is determined to bring change to ethiopia but this attack highlights the lengths. to try and stop him victoria. well sunday is an historic day for saudi women from now they will be allowed to drive for the first time these live pictures we're looking at of one of the very

first women to get behind the wheel the decision is expected to boost the economy with sales of cars expected to rise a woman's efforts to overturn the ban go back nearly three decades in one thousand nine hundred more than forty women drive their cars in riyadh a public demonstration against the ban in two thousand and seven activists submitted a petition to the then king abdullah asking for the right to drive the next year one of those activists. made a film of herself driving and posting it online dozens of women followed suit over the next few years last september king solomon finally gave orders for the band to be lifted his posse of the crown prince's reform drive but in the last few weeks many prominent women's rights activists have been arrested or more in this that speak to saad. who's a middle east consultant to the non-governmental organization quality now she's on

skype from a month thank you very much for speaking to us as those who is saying women will now be allowed to drive their cars lifting the world's last ban on female drivers how important is this for the country. i mean this is important for women at the beginning that at least they can exercise their right to their freedom of movement. but this is a very good step and we are welcoming this but of course i mean that are so many challenges including i mean that women are facing you know with the lifting of the ban is that you know they the feel for having these lessons is this six times more than. this is one of the distinctions and this makes women. not being able to access the driving license in

a fast way in addition to the limited their driving schools. in saudi arabia and so from what you're saying that it's an important step but just from what you're describing that driving still won't be excessive will to all women but sadly this milestone has also been accompanied by the jailing of women who campaigned to drive what happens to them now or. i mean as equality now and as activist in the region and elsewhere that we are very much concerned about that rest of these women who have been campaigning for years to lift the ban on driving and to end guardianships i mean this is what is going on in saudi arabia it's crazy instead of these women prominent women have been x. of us is that they should be on we know they are behind bars and this is really very annoying and very alarming for us all so we are really asking the

prince to release all these women and the respect they expect off what they have done for years of activism and campaigning for their rights in soledad why do you suppose they were detained. i mean. we don't really know exactly but according to the state statement that has been issued by the state security department in saudi arabia i mean in the government they these women they were charged with three is that communicating with their foreign entities they communicating with media international media. that might be hostile to the government so all these charges i mean i mean these women they have been known for years for campaigning and not for you know trying to harm the interest of the country well actually nobody knows where they are. whether they

have access to lawyers whether they have access to justice and we are really very much concerned about their their lives and what it is what what's going on with them and you mentioned the male guardianship system which is really the priority for many saudi women because this is the system that determines and restricts freedom of movement foreign travel studying abroad is that ever going to be addressed. i mean it has been addressed by these women who have been arrested unfortunately i mean and this is very sadly of course i mean equality now and. other international organizations who are really supporting women in saudi arabia are calling on the government to end the mill guardianships this because this system districts women through not just the freedom of movement but to restrict

them in their daily life in terms of you know divorce custody alemany they for example this or that if yet they don't have a code if i person is that this little that at women they can refer to when they have this beauty with their husbands in regard to their children. and women they can travel abroad without the. permission of their man guardian they can study abroad they can issue a purse port i mean these are basic rights for women and they have to get it at the end of the day they have to get it i think what what these activists has been doing and i and our support as the activists from the region and international. organizations who are supporting them i think one day they have to have we have to guardianship system in saudi arabia because this contradicts also what saudi arabia

has committed itself to the international court invention they have a right to fight city hall and the c r c and all these conflicts conventions i mean they are committed to. and to bridge that gap in the laws and eliminate or discriminatory laws against women and girls in saudi arabia well thank you very much for putting it all into context for us appreciate getting your perspective on this. as a middle east consultant of the and governmental organization quantity now. thank you well now to the latest developments in iraq where the prime minister. sider of announce that political blocs of forming an alliance they say the union between a buddies placed victory alliance insiders saya roun which won the largest number of seats will cross sectarian and ethnic divisions potentially and help secure

a ruling bloc well joining me now to discuss this and more is below he's worked extensively on the middle east on many of these issues so thank you very much for coming in to speak to us so we have here a coalition between three think is three political blocs is it a coalition that can walk i think it's a coalition that needs to work for the sake of iraq and it's been really an extraordinary journey we're taught all solder less than a little more than ten years ago i should say he was his mahdi army was ambushing and killing american soldiers in iraq and who is the kingmaker after an election that we must remember had a very low turnout around thirty percent marred by many allegations of irregularities and yet he has been able to pull together the shia supported mehdi and to bring

a body the serving prime minister and his block into this broader coalition he's about one hundred forty seats i think he needs another twenty five i think he'll get it and i think it is what iraq urgently needs. and so it was only recently that. formed an alliance with. mary who. runs the bloc that came in second place and in the election now what we have here is slightly unusual situation with the three of them joining forces could this cause problems between could the. emergence of a body cause problems between solder and i marry i don't think so and i think it's worthwhile thinking about the sequence here because first of all men thought of solder he emerged from the election as the kingmaker his first step was to go to alameda who's bought backed i should say by tehran and then he moved on

and he went to a body and really only a week and a half ago he wrote an article in a newspaper and said look we need to pull together we need to create a broad coalition we need to resolve the urgent issues of this country and the fact that he's prepared to bring a body back our body was the target of his own people not so very long ago they stormed the parliament they were outraged by the level of corruption the lock of security many many issues and yet here he is bringing these other two into this block which i think is can only be viewed. as a positive for iraq. despite their intentions still obstacles lie ahead we know that this was an election that was mined by allegations of fraud and historically low voter turnout how might that complicate the formation of a coalition government which is already

a complicated process in iraq it's very complicated process mary i mean the number of political parties the factions when you look at a map of the legislature you kind of your mind boggles at the just the the myriad complexities no number of parties and and and the challenge that are that are faced and. you know i was saying just after the election i don't expect a coalition to happen until the beginning of september and yet he's been able to pull things together i think in a remarkably short period of time. i think that what we're looking at now is the beginning of a broader coalition and he will be able to get these folks together now the threat is of course the allegations of the outgoing parliament voted to have a recount a significant recount supported by the supreme court a body saying oh excuse me saying look the last thing we need to do is to drag this

thing out let's not fight over one or two seats he's seriously reduced the number of seats that are being contested or or being gauged and there are allegations of irregularities but you know i think ordinary rocks are saying yeah you're right let's not go through this again the country and certainly the country could not stand another election the fact that selection got through with relatively little ballance. i think is a good thing so so i think that's where the law is i think the broader issue though and he's a nationalist and he's saying the right things he's saying the things that that iraqis want to hear and he's and he's saying it to not just to the americans he's saying it to the iranians thank you very much for sharing your analysis with us. in the news hour life from london much more still ahead. singing for the less fortunate hundreds turn out for a civil rights rally in washington as donald trump steps up his anti immigrant

rhetoric thousands province after the government launches a major offensive that. and belgian found side of right and now the victory for that team the cops i don't have the details in sport. now turkey's presidential candidates have held their final rallies ahead of sunday's elections which are widely viewed as the most crucial in decades president . urged people to get out and vote tact his opposition for lacking vision and boasted of his achievements while in office like new health infrastructure who's been in palaces two thousand and three called this election eighteen months early meanwhile his main challenger also held a rally in istanbul drawing a massive crowd he painted a bleak picture of turkey and saying its currency would remain weak and its refugee

problems on resolved six candidates are running for the post of president on the other one's reforms window will acquire sweeping new executive powers cinema looks at the front runner as. this election is a milestone for. our dorm. he hopes it will see his country resurge on the world stage he promises more democracy more freedom and more growth his supporters say he should remain president until two thousand and twenty three the centenary of the founding of modern turkey says that is we've come here to serve you not to be your masters and our journey will continue this way. don has five other rivals. but i never candidate for the main opposition party c.h.p. is a former physics teacher he has served as a member of parliament for sixteen years injure is most likely to make it into the final round some critics say his retore is as populist as our dons especially on

syrian refugees he wants to send them home he is also vowing to lift restrictions on fundamental freedoms and restore the rule of law in turkey. the constitution hands over everything that the budget jurisdiction legislation to one person all these powers cannot be handed over to a single individual. breakaway nationalist party leader metal action air is the only female candidate called the she will by her admirers action are served as the interior minister in the ninety's a period turkish state have suppressed the policies against kurdish citizens she has campaigned on social justice and a self-sufficient economy. is some of the also the government are using methods to deliberately impoverish our people and exploit that poverty to remain in power pro kurdish peoples democratic party h d p's candidate sell out and demo taj has run his presidential campaign from behind bars as kurdish obama he promises to lift the

state of emergency restore freedom and democratic institutions. what we are living today is just a teaser for the one man regime or the actual scary part of the navy has not yet begun. so on sunday you will determine with your votes whether there's a spirit or not here. it is your sins presidents are gone hasn't lost an election since two thousand and two despite his upper hand in public support he faces challenges in foreign policy security and they call me plus this time his rivals are more competitive than expected. al-jazeera a stumble. joining me now is a brain douglas is the director of the center attack which studies thanks very much for coming in to speak to us. is there a chance that president could be defeated in this election i think that it mythically yes of course the da position in turkey has united and they've got

a candidate who is a great much too prisoner to come on these on streets and he's able to reach into deep sort of a meet and turks and kurds so that the candidate from c.h.p. bottom injured has been very active on the ground and they seem to be the key person and the best much they had food that opposition had for done so far and what how would you describe. him in che's appeal how has he managed to kind of take the initiative and seize so much ground and see such a large timeout at his rallies and these past few days and weeks i mean into turkey the politics has been polarized since a party change or shifted from its money for a still since in sudan's major mine is a president who is known to be becoming quite authoritarian in his approach to running affairs and that in turkey as

a whole and for first time opposition got forgot who is able to challenge him in a way that the meat meat media the old all he hasn't got the media sort of appearances as much as president will in the us but the grassroots have united in an anti a look on camp so polarization that had one created which worked for his election victory so for now is actually working against him so everyone was unhappy with his way of running the country has managed to unite and unite under one common candidate for first so if that translate if that ends up sort of translating into votes at the ballot box bought manages to maintain. in his position how much of a credit deal to present overall position to more people will be using two boards one will be for the president one will be for the party for the parliamentary elections so the block the president is going to has is the block which is

a party ultra nationalist m.h.d. and the other bloc which is people's bloc that's c.-h. be the main opposition party good party action arrows of right wing nationalist party and two of the smaller parties the religious one in a sense right well then you've got the first the kurdish ward from h.t.t.p. their candidate is present their present leader so together if h d p is able to pass the ten percent threshold h d p and the people's block would be having more seats in parliament than prisoners are gone and the right think book is created which would mean even if we if present are going to win the elections there will be a stalemate because majority there in the governing broke will be losing its majority in parliament so this will create another uncertainty for the country to further into for the next few years we know that president and his ak party swept to power on a platform that focused on jobs and economic growth and greater

equality amongst the people how is he still has a base of support but how has public opinion shifted in the last five years i mean in two thousand and two turkey was just coming out of a huge crisis and economical crisis and the foundations of a new economy good model were laid down by kamal derwish who done was a c.h.p. politician from the main opposition party so our party came into power when the reforms a lot of good reforms structural reforms that have already taken place so the build another to get around that the competent political party to run the the economy. country does that party on the president from instead of them then and still but for the last few years things have dramatically changed people who are no longer sort of enjoying an economy grow out there is still an economy grow but the fruits

all do the fruit of the benefits of this economy growth is no longer shared by the mess it's a very narrow key sort of group of people that are organized on preserve those who are benefiting from this party though that really well in elections because they were able to share the benefits of a certain group within the country the economy's going down the curtain c. is in huge trouble the foreign investments are limited and they are drying up and this election itself will prove what sort of strength the economy has left in it does seem to be the main issue in this election doesn't it thank you very much ever handle this director of the center attack of studies thank you well now iraq's military says it's killed forty five i still find his including senior commanders in as strike in eastern syria a ministry spokesman says the raid targeted a meeting of isolated as in the syrian province of dairies or many among those

killed were a senior member of the group's so-called ministry of war is deputy and a local commander. well syrian rebel fighters have told the reuters news agency that russian jets of the party carried out strikes in there are province for the first time since the government offensive began thousands of civilians have already fled the fighting there the u.s. has called on president assad to halt the offensive which falls inside one of the internationally agreed deescalation signs. are reports. this is the first time government forces have used battle bombs in you know a year. helicopters struck several villages in what appears to be a major advance to take over the city but this violates a truce that was brokered by russia and the united states in africa to bring an eye and to the seven year war the americans have of serious repercussions if the

offensive continues and the rebels who are losing ground remain defiant if. we don't recognize assad's operative he has destroyed our cities and killed our people he destroy syria to staying power we will never recognize him reject the presence of ukrainian and afghan militias. who should decide the future of the country. the syrian army is massing troops in the area the opposition says thousands of shia militias are also moving in dar was the focal point of the syrian uprising in two thousand and eleven but in recent years the rebels have been retreating they now control one neighborhood in the city and a few areas on the border with jordan this is a show of force by the free syrian army. for years the f.s.a.

was trained and armed by the u.s. europe and gulf countries but that support has diminished over the last two years and forces are largely outgunned and outnumbered. the dow offensive poses challenges for all the parties the rebels cannot afford another setback after being evicted from major song calls including aleppo homes and on the asker's of damascus but of the syrian army's push continue as the u.s. may interfere and that may trigger a wider ass collation. anthony's hour still ahead on the program as the u.s. tries to reunite migrant families separated by the trumpet ministration we meet a mother deported to question moller whose son is still in america.

temperatures pushing the thirty degree mark across parts of the u.k. for much of fronts not far behind thirty six degrees the high in madrid moving into north africa here we've got falling conditions all the way thirty seven as the high in karo as we head into monday might just be the odd showers through the northern coast of libya but otherwise no real problems snow into central parts of africa we've got some really big storm system to get across in the flow particularly across parts of west africa i'm not commits but a particular area of rain towards mali but nevertheless the risk of showers is there could be one or two showers for lagos in nigeria and then as we head into southern portions of africa is largely fine here with highs of fifteen expected in cape town. eighty percent of the visually impaired could be cured without access to treatment . where there was a will there is

immigration time magazine says the u.s. navy is planning to build three facilities capable of housing almost one hundred twenty thousand migrants to taint on america's southern border it's understood federal authorities are struggling to find jail space to detain families together a new task force has been set up to begin the process of reuniting the more than two thousand children separated from their parents in the last few weeks well gabriel elizondo is in brownsville texas by the border with mexico and dave you've been speaking to some lawyers who came out of the detention center what have they said about the situation there. in short they're saying that it's not very good these were three lawyers from washington d.c. human rights lawyers that came down here to try to get a better sense of what's going on they were granted access into one of the homeland security detention centers and why this is so important their perspective is because journalists like myself are not allowed inside there you have to be

a lawyer and have pre-authorization so when they came out we spoke to them just within the last hour they all said the same thing that all of the migrants that they spoke to inside that detention center which is about an hour from we're out here right now they said all of those migrants were separated from their children still none of them had been reunited yet so that's a pretty sobering of what they thought was going on in there they said that everybody was asking about their children where they were at but simply had no answers to that question. and they also said they got the sense after touring this place and speaking to some of the migrants in there that this is a crisis that is not getting any better in fact perhaps getting worse a big problem here is that there are just so many government agencies involved with trying to reunify these these families together that it's just no one is speaking with the same voice there does not seem to be any sort of coordinated effort to

make this happen and so for at this a shelter which is behind me here which used to be a wal-mart store there are hundreds of young boys in there that still have not been reunited with their parents either is that likely to change by this new task force that is being established. is that likely to result in some progress in implementing the order to reunite these families. well i think we all hope that for sure but the health and human services department of the u.s. government which is in charge of this shelter by me it's a privately run shelter but it's overseen by the department of health and human services they're in charge they're a key agency because they're in charge of all of the migrants that were separated from their parents and and they have not been reunited yet and the health and human services department has confirmed that they finally finally have set up a task force interagency task force to try to break in the process of reunification

but the very fact that nearly three days after president donald trump's executive order. calling for the reunification of family members and not separating families after being arrested just the fact they're now setting up a task force just indicates how difficult this situation is because of the changing policy coming out of washington that zero tolerance policy still stands migrants crossing the border illegally are arrested and then put in detention centers for criminal prosecution that is still in place the only thing that's changed is that the families are not supposed to be separated now however there again there are still more than two thousand children that are separated from their families this task force is going to try to figure out how to reunify them but right now we're given absolutely no details and we're seeing no signs here on the ground that any of that reunification is really happening in any significant level thank you very much gabriel is on to keep an eye on developments there for us in brownsville texas

. meanwhile faith leaders and civil rights and civil rights groups of march to the national mall in washington in honor of the poor people's campaign manager led by martin luther king in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight a protest was dominated by criticism of the u.s. president's hardline immigration policy. reynolds has been much. the diverse and impassioned crowd of several thousand people gathered on the national mall here in washington within sight of the u.s. capitol demanding a more world bible in the united states they pointed to the trumpet ministrations zero tolerance policy on migration and the separation of children from their parents at the us mexico border as a prime example of the immorality that they say infects the country the group also is demanding. measures to change society including war money for education and less money for weapons and the military living wages

crisis everyone we spoke to would come this way and the total lack of hope in greece is forcing them to consider any route out. if you have any money you can get a bus from thessaloniki to a port and try your luck on a boat to italy but most don't have the luxury of this option until a couple of years ago it was full of tents and journalists before the so-called full could routes was closed by macedonia the media's all gone now but we'd been told dozens was still attempting this route every day and so it proved we found them up a shepherd's track in a forest right on the border all of them pakistanis many of them teenagers where do you go do you know macedonia serbia and germany this way. trying to do what hundreds of thousands managed a few years ago but europe isn't the same anymore according to the united nations

there are now getting on for ten thousand more refugees and migrants in greece than the were when this border was basically a refugee camp two or three years ago and frankly these people have got absolutely no chance of getting asylum in any western european country if anything germany's likely to tell greece to take more and more people back these places become a complete trap and surprisingly the new waves of refugees coinciding with the new hostile european environments make local officials nervous even make it less bigoted then there are many happened because they wanted to fulfill their dreams and go to europe over things that were done in traps that. phrase but we hope there will never again be an informal camp of refugees and migrants. for the refugees living rough in greece there is no he even warsaw let alone hope they may
