i was in this caravan that the to go all the way to my the president there talking about. peace however is that not what was happening here at the university in the in the center of my now where these students who were unarmed were pleading for their lives with a. paramilitary shooting from another from the other end of the barricades directly at these students jennifer mccoy is a political science professor at georgia state university she's also been an election observer in her walker she joins us via skype from portland we appreciate your time. a priest who. lives next to the university that these were these students are from he said people have lost their fear they are no longer afraid to express themselves when you are shooting at a church and there are students involved could this be a turning point of any kind. well i think that the turning point actually is that

the government the piers to have taken back most of the areas that had been held by protesters and dismantled barricades throughout the country and in other cities and now the university the main university campus in managua had been you know one of the last strongholds and so for the moment at least it looks like the government has reasserted its control and by using these gangs these paramilitaries are gangs that they call to or to because in nicaragua so the question is is what will happen next and obviously the catholic church has been a mediator has led dialogues and will continue i think to try to mediate and the question is what the people will do will they turn out in stronger protest after this horrible siege of the university or will they be cowed in fact in stay home from intimidation because of this violence what of the underlying issues though

that are that are causing this is there really any hope of those particular issues being addressed. well in the lying issue is that daniel ortega along with his wife have been in power now since two thousand and six and so the last dozen years and they have concentrated power in their own hands over that time period and prevented opposition parties opposition candidates in some cases from even contesting elections there. courts of election fraud so demands changed from as your story reported from if i could nominate demand to one about politics about restoring a more open transparent government and asking for dinner or to get to resign he is obviously resisting that call and so that's the standoff that we're seeing in the country right now ok jennifer mccoy as the standoff continues and all these issues

continue i'm sure we'll call on you again thank you very much thank you general have been held in pakistan for some of the one hundred twenty eight victims of a suicide bombing during an election rally among those laid to rest was a candidate for prevention office more than three hundred people were injured in friday's blast caretaker prime minister has announced a nationwide day of mourning on saturday palestinian farmers have grown tobacco for generations but as jobs have dried up more and more people have turned to working in the unregulated and destroyed the palestinian authority says it's missing out on millions of dollars of tax revenue every month trial stratfor reports from your bod in the israeli occupied west bank. down there help his nephews pick the family's tobacco crop in the north of the occupied west bank he worked in israel for more than two decades but israeli government restrictions on freedom of movement for palestinians forced him to quit his job five years ago the palestinian authority

says the local tobacco industry has to be regulated because farmers aren't paying taxes but it's easy money when there are so few jobs around and. the palestinian authority finds other work then most people would stop growing tobacco they should make jobs for the young generation the university graduates who helped to back up the twenty to thirty dollars a day they studied science and finance and they have to do this to back oh needs very little water to thrive palestinians have grown as in this area for generations but not on this scale they say israel's control of water inland resources means they have little choice but to grow it wherever they can the palestinian authority says unemployment in the occupied west bank has almost doubled to around nine hundred percent in the last twenty years feels like this one used to be used to grow crops like wheat and barley but not anymore before israel started building the

separation wall in two thousand and two many people in this area used to work in israel but now there are villages in this area where virtually every family is in some way involved in the business. this is one of many small tobacco processing plants in the area pharma sell they dried leaves to traders but just over ten dollars a kilo. we were afraid the p.a. could confiscate his tobacco says this worker but others say the p.a. usually ignores them because it knows so many people depend only on regulated industry for their livelihood demand but tobacco is high. foreign cigarettes are five times more expensive than those locally produced but it's estimated the p.a. is missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue a year from the local industry has a way to calculate how much of the deficit the tobacco industry would cover i'd say

somewhere between twenty to thirty percent if we control the smuggled and locally produced tobacco. says he and thousands of other people have no choice but to keep growing tobacco a plant that kills those who use it but one which many palestinians depend upon to survive. in the occupied west bank. a melting ice berg and greenland is causing fears of a tsunami several residents near the danger zone in the village of. have been moved to higher ground the government and police have been put on high alert as it's the melting ice for the entire settlement in a remote village on the western coast of greenland is home to about one hundred seventy people hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world who don't mind getting dirty are converging in south korea for the annual much festival that's been taking place for twenty one years in the western coastal city of four young the attractions include a mud pool mud slides and skiing mud prison more than five million people attended

last year. still ahead on al-jazeera and the spirit of the occasion how finnish brewers feel their beer can make a difference in the trump summit and belgian managed to salvage something out of their world cup campaign details in sport.

it's different from other channels because we're not just there when something happens we are there before it happens where there while it happens and we stay to have a permanent close with us and a lot of places there's so much that. in the back ground being eleven on is very important it's about syria it's about lebanon it's about the power struggle between iran and saudi arabia it's all there and that's the challenge.

and. ninety percent of the world's fish stocks are being fish tomato beyond best anable limits growing demand an industrial fishing techniques are pushing some populations of cod and china to the brink of collapse while millions of tons of other less marketable species are being used as a fish food simply discard it i'm so we are rightly in london u.k. where marine scientists are working together with local fisherman to get consumers hooked on sustainable seafood it's. based in east london a tiny startup by the name of social is hoping to change london his relationship with fish. the fish for the german. order know. how much for. you want health you want to encumber get a flow rates it's

a bit like a budget box but let's say we work with a couple of insured fisherman we bother in time and then handed out to them because it's a really good way of just getting ahead of the maze and finish trying things that maybe you haven't tried before and also support and they got a call to mostyn finot is one of maybe three and a half thousand small scale fishermen working in english motives but unlike many others skis families have been in the business but generations to come to the trade a decade to get the oysters my fish and let's go a little boys out of the ones that tell us what the drought situation of the school said you know for the start and for maybe take that one hundred rocks down so that once out and on the tree they stay right. here on the common is nothing that they have a lot of for you know it's a tie on the river. and they start she's the biggest fish in

the all the missile site that big fish but someone that's a little small fish as well which are trolling the only thing you know looking like that the day that the sun told you could avoid everything that. unlike industrial bottom truly minutes which try to along the seafloor and can kill a wide array of three night. stay still in the world and the notch holes means he's not undermining feature fish stocks by catching notes juveniles. those he doesn't extend the net come in and i. say that's legal so it's a low life and i work for backyards but. not. how much would you get the same for. a place if you send it three don't rub it in just jack because it's a flat right for her and the cage on. the house side of the market. to offer in

crude for for the sign plights says quite a bit different. yeah so share members help keep martin in business by giving him a good price and buying a set wait each week of whatever he brings in and you're also going to fishmonger well i seldom i still get a break simon called from provence and chairman of the four friends that i sell more than anything else and they're also some of the most kind of owners fish exactly. everyone of someone's office all which. is go all day because they're prepared to accept whatever turns up and have a car or different spaces and that spanking first figure given a child. who got into congress is going to quote really is invested royale made significant this net thankfully and often brought. to the business is what is missing from a lot of the way that we that we eat today you know there's such a big disconnect between what's on our plates the naris come from. that sap people

want to buy didn't that there's something about we're not so sure i started in twenty thirteen and now has eighteen members in london you buy from martin and a few up a small scale fishing. from a boat to icebox in a matter of minutes the race is now on to get today's fresh catch straight up to social members in london so it's about finding people that care about where the fish come from and linking them with the called the fishermen that have a cause i thought. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would just be on when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring

new award winning documentaries and live news and out of iraq i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on air and online. we have a newsgathering team here that is second to their all over the world and they do a fantastic job and 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 the view understand and make sense of it.

one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much emperor in contribution to a story i feel weaker this region better than anyone else would get what it is you know is that it turns liberally but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. zero where ever. and this was different not said whether

someone is going for someone is very red state it does matter we need to think it's how you approach in individual and that's what it is a certain way of doing it it's a conscious intention story and fly out. i think if he was if you could call a baby. he was an activist you know he'd like to be held all the time you know he'd like to work. feel somebody his arms around him.

he was able to love back. but afterwards. all they could see where the. physical. problems or absence of problems they didn't seem to be very responsive to work our child felt emotionally i don't think there is ever so much research on hold people feel about. it first at first he would cry and he would reach out to me. in order for him. but in style when. he became more and more aloof and distant. and didn't respond to me it's as if he didn't

believe that i would come back. in that i could take you. to the bank that month old baby how no matter how understand back when you try to tell it so. each time. the distance you new focus was worse until he ended up like. you know just leave it completely underscores. every minute we have if it's. you know holding him talking to him. trying to stimulate some sort of response he became very interested in seeing. that no response to pique. not even two year.

old me bursts than ever. you know i was. as far as he could understand. was that i abandoned here that i read a stranger take him away and i didn't think about it. it was very troubling. very troubling to have a child that you loved very much but was so distant.
