the request of the meeting comes twenty four hours after security forces and supporters of nicaraguan president daniel ortega stormed a major stronghold of anti-government protesters not in a sanchez is in nicaragua his capital in the nagual photos no money on this effort by the oas to have this resolution is not going to help the situation. i think it's going to be very difficult that this resolution adopted today will help bring both sides together this. condemns. violence here in. the problem with this resolution i think. by. members of the governmental pro government people is that it. has a proposal that will be a calendar for or an electoral calendar if you will. will be discussed in the dialogue this means that. they are proposing is that the elections will be hilled

ahead of time which is something that the political opposition has been asking throughout these three months of crisis to hold elections in two thousand and nineteen something that the government has already said that it will not happen because elections are to be held in two thousand and twenty one and the constitution backs. this now the foreign minister of. illegal illegitimate unfair. hue and other members of the government have been saying that these international organizations are meddling with the solvent sovereignty matters here. but the other reason why it will be difficult for the resolution to help in bringing back together the parts for the negotiating table is that the clergy here has celebrated this resolution and

the government here says that the clergy is not. is not being impartial and that they are the negotiators the mediators in these negotiations so it's very difficult that the government will again sit down with the political opposition to a result of this crisis as you were talking there money on or we're seeing some of the pictures are showing the tension that's being that's being in the capital what are things like now. well the tensions mostly have been in the last twenty four hours in the. about forty five minutes. of the capital the city was under siege entrances since yesterday were closed there were blocked and members of the of the police and paramilitary were shooting and. the objective of this was to leave to the road blocks that were

set up in. and specially in the neighborhood. which is a neighborhood emblematic neighborhood of the revolution here the people there were. against the government but now the vice president. who is the wife of president. announced the everything was clear and that the roadblocks had been lifted and that peace had been restored in the neighborhood there however human rights organizations have not been able to go in some of them we're being told have not been able to go in we understand there's been one woman killed and one policeman killed we don't know how many wounded or how many people have been arrest that get. for us thank you very much indeed. many more still to come we take a look at the human cost of a story is hard line refugee policy five years after it was imposed plus. until

the rebels broke down on tuesday about one hundred thousand people still live there which is located in the province bashar al assad's forces have retaken nearly all of the province since its offensive began early last month. the fighting has forced hundreds of civilians to free west towards the israeli occupied golan heights many displaced syrians are still gathered along the border in makeshift camps after the israeli army turned them away stephanie decker sent this update from there earlier at least six airstrikes have just come in and this is all part of the syrian government's campaign to get this area back from the rebels and you can also see just how close it is we can hear the plane in the sky just how close it is to the tents where those syrian internally displaced are sheltering it gives you a sense of just how terrified these people are the border is closed and israeli authorities have made it very clear they won't be letting anyone it now we've been witnessing an intensive air strike campaign throughout the day our team has counted

at least one hundred air strikes they started a little further afield and then they started hitting right in front of us also quite close to the areas where you see those tents those tents or are housing syrian internally displaced these are people who have fled the war these are people who are now trapped between closed borders and between the syrian government advances also there's no real aid there for them no organized aid efforts yes the israeli army has been giving out some supplies in some tents but there's also a real fear of what happens when the syrian government takes over their areas they have been advancing very false these people are still in rebel territory they've been living under the opposition for around four years so they are terrified of what will happen to them if there is any sort of retaliation from the syrian government forces. elsewhere to besieged towns in a province are being evacuated after a deal was struck between opposition fighters and pro-government forces thousands

are being bussed out of food and cafe in the northwest the shia towns have been under siege by sunni rebels for more than four years protrusion forces and their families are among those leaving they are being taken to areas under government control in exchange the government is expected to release hundreds of opposition detainees google says it will appeal a record five billion dollars fine handed to it by the european union the e.u. says the tech giant used its android operating system to cement the dominance of its search engine selling a giggle explains. a three year investigation and direct quote five billion dollars fine a steep penalty for google accused by the european union of abusing its power as it called it an entire sector in the phone market who has engaged in illegal practices to cement its time and market decision internet search it must put an effective end to this contract within ninety days or face penalty payments at the heart of the

issue is android the tech giants operating system for mobile phones used to more than eighty percent of the world's smartphones it is essential to google's future revenues it's easy to make the video calls for to the european commission found google have blocked competition by forcing phone makers to pre-install services such as search engine and map software as a condition of using its operation system it also paid phone manufacturers incentives if they installed google search without rival services the case would seem to prove the point that there's no such thing as a free lunch when tech giants come bearing gifts and google is finding out to its cost it's having to concede this is already the case in countries such as china and russia the french government has welcomed the decision to stop it from squeezing out any rivals. google will have to change their practices in terms of licensing of

the virus and road software applications that in turn would have a considerable impact on their commercial policy google has said it will appeal against the decision it may only be a fraction of its revenue but the real challenge will be if the e.u. forces it to change its future behavior. paris well here's how google see all sort of pressure i responded via twitter rapid innovation white choice and falling prices are classic hallmarks of robust competition and droid. has enabled this and created more choice for everyone not less this is why we intend to appeal today's android decision. well the european union has had a number of high profile run ins with tech giants over the years in two hundred sixteen it ordered apple to pay fifteen billion dollars in extra taxes after ruling that the company was getting too good a deal from ireland where its headquarters is based the e.u.

also took issue with microsoft for pre-installed in its browser internet explorer on windows after a series of fines and court actions microsoft agreed to give users more of a choice of browsers in two thousand and nine that same year the e.u. went after intel accusing the microchip maker of anti-competitive behavior against a smaller rival intel was fined more than a billion dollars but that punishment is being reviewed david mccabe is a technology reporter at axios it's a news and information website is joining us now from washington thank you very much indeed for being with us is this actually going to make google change anything well they have ninety days of course to review this decision and certainly it could the most in your report was exactly right that the most significant aspect of this is the threat that they may have to abandon this conduct that has been ruled anti competitive you know the fine is significant and it. indicates the gravity of the

situation but the real ball game comes to those behavioral changes google is adamant that as we heard in the twitter there from the c.e.o. that it is at the forefront of developing change and opening up competition in fact directly opposite to what the e.u. is saying is doing so how is it able to justify that claim. well you know it says that for example on the android platform you can download other apps and it's very easy to download other apps of course android is an open platform in a lot of ways so they've they've pointed to that as well. as they defend sort of the platform and what it does. but you know they've also said that the e.u. failed to take into account competition from apple but at the end of the day the e.u. just didn't buy google's argument and that's how you got to this record financial behavioral changes today it would seem though that of course because you mentioned google is going to appeal this so as a result this is going to be

a prolonged situation isn't it nothing immediately is going to change is it well certainly not immediately you know i think the appeals process and the sort of evaluation of order can run together but yes it seems like this is destined for the court and this is not settled today or anytime soon why is it that the e.u. seems so successful in being able to police this kind of action against technology companies well you know as a reporter here in washington i think we see a lot that the regulator matters regulators here are not particularly interested in aggressively taking on these tech companies that may be shifting a little bit but that they're fighting an uphill battle even if they do because the law here doesn't really make it easy to go after some of these companies but in commissioner a vast europeans have found a champion for this sort of aggressive competition enforcement and this is in many

ways you know a high point for her agenda we appreciate your time david mackay thank you very much indeed. coming up in the second half of this news hour we'll explain how people who've left african countries are using twitter to influence elections back home. resilience in the face of war yemeni students sitting exams despite their uncertain future. and there's a new leader at the tour de france details coming up with tatiana in the sport. hello flooding in the new york metro system again heavy showers actually run through the eastern side of the u.s. from washington north eastern canada all gone through not just interesting want to happened that's a sort of cold front but to be honest it's not back cold behind me so temperatures

a major stronghold of anti-government protesters. google says it will appeal a record five billion dollars fine handed to it by the european union the e.u. says the tech giant used its android operating system illegally to cement the dominance of its search engine. populist prime minister has arrived in israel to an outcry from some jewish groups over alleged anti semitism within his government viktor orban will meet his israeli counterpart in benjamin netanyahu on thursday as part of his two day visit oban helped block and a huge statement condemning the u.s. transfer of its embassy to jerusalem in may but he is also praised in nazi collaborator who once ruled hungary at least eleven people have now been killed in anti-government protests that have spread across southern iraq the unrest stems largely from government corruption and the poor state of public services and as imran khan reports from baghdad the government is looking to saudi arabia for

a solution. protests now into their second week have spurred the government into looking for a solution a summer temperatures sole electricity supply has become the erratic a problem made worse by iran cutting off supplies because of one to help billion dollars in unpaid bills it says that sparked protests by rocky's opec second largest oil exporter is appealing for help from the world's number one producer a high level iraqi delegation visited saudi arabia on wednesday iraqis hope iran's regional rival can supply the electricity to them via the regional grid analysts suggest that saudi arabia will be kayne to help out as it's long been concerned about iran's close relations with baghdad and i believe that such a visit by the iraqi side to saudi arabia is a very important one because saudi arabia has expressed keenness and readiness to supply iraq not only with electricity but to help in other several sectors such as

housing projects and transport on the level of spreading its political influence on iraq because saudi arabia has implemented a rather new approach the success of saudi arabia on the economic level will definitely ensure saudi arabia's political success in iraq. iran will be watching what is negotiated with saudi arabia closely. iraq is racing to find a short term deal that can bring economic and energy relief to the southern districts and by doing so it hopes that it can quell the protest movement before it turns into a nationwide movement that could topple the government. government leaders in iraq and an enormous amount of pressure. decades of war corruption and infrastructure neglect means a long term multibillion effort is needed to find a long term solution the wrong car which is a fact that. who the rebels in yemen say they've attacked an oil refinery in the

saudi capital using a drone they targeted the state run our aamco refinery in riyadh they all companies said it contained a small fire which was due to an operational incident the iranian aligned rebels say the drone attack marks the start of a new stage and a tearing saudi aggression in yemen. meanwhile yemen's who feel leader has told a french newspaper he is ready to hand over control of the port city of her data to the united nations if the saudi and morality coalition ends its offensive the red sea port is being controlled by the rebels since twenty fourteen it provides a vital lifeline for war ravaged yemen with seventy percent of food imports passing through it last month the saudi and amorality coalition which backs yemen's internationally recognized government launched an offensive to capture the port in the interview with le figaro who three chief outdone mallika hooty also accused france of contributing to the violence by selling arms to saudi arabia and the

u.a.e. a spokesman for the un secretary general had this to say about the port negotiations the special envoy for yemen continues to engage with the parties to get an agreement to prevent an attack on both the city and port of the data at the moment both parties are sending a proposal for martin griffiths which is based on a u.n. role in both the city and the port. well as well as the fighting around hard on many yemeni teenagers also have high school exams to contend with a lot of boredom money reports. it's exam season a stressful time for many but these children and how data a studying in the middle of the biggest battle in yemen's three year war. they have little electricity suffer scorching temperatures and are at risk of being killed on their way to school. and yet many is suffering under very difficult conditions it's hard we have power cuts and as a result many students struggle to study we're nearing the end of the tests but the

good news is there's been a large turnout of students. this war has caused huge frustrations for many students only one third of my students are present the other two thirds have fled. about thirty five thousand families have fled who died this war but most internally displaced people are living in such tough conditions many children simply drop out school others have escaped from being recruited by the warring sides. they sent us to sanaa taking the back roads they captured us in a checkpoint they took us into tunnels and asked us to stay there they gave us weapons told us to say were from my soul and told us to wait for them and come back we stayed one week. yemeni government forces backed by the saudi u.a.e. coalition continue their assault on the rebels in her data which has been taking place for more than a month. the port handles most of yemen's imports making it an important area for

the coalition to cut off the rebels lifeline but the consequences of this could put millions of lives the risk the united nations says yemen's education system has been devastated by the conflict and since the start of the war about half a million children have dropped out of school as the. war goes on with little sign of ending an entire generation of yemeni children face a difficult future. nor that a man the al jazeera nigerian police say eight suspected boko haram members have confessed to being involved in the abduction of the chibok school girls overall twenty two members of the armed group arrested in different locations across the northeastern states of your unborn oh there duction of the two hundred seventy girls from this school in the northern town caused global outrage in twenty fourteen nigerian police say a book or commander is among the men who have confessed. for us breast cancer for

will go quickly and smoothly as the process to normalize relations. elections in a number of african countries is subject to considerable social media influence from outside and that's the conclusion of a study of twitter use across the continent the researchers behind how africa tweets looked at online traffic around elections in one thousand nations that voted between june twenty seventeen and april twenty eighth they found more than half of key influencers tweeting on the elections came from outside the countries voting some were from other african countries notably south africa but fifty four percent of the most influential external voices were from outside africa itself the u.s. and britain leading the way followed by france spain and the u.a.e. whose influence was strongest in egypt robert walk ins ins a partner with portland communications which released this study he says external voices had a significant impact during elections we looked at ten elections taking place in

countries in africa and there are really three key findings that stood out from the report the first is the degree to which external voices the shaping the debate on twitter in africa or around elections it was particularly interesting that voices from outside the continent were particularly prevalent there the second key finding was that politicians seem to be less influential in twenty debates around african elections the average across the elections that we studied was just under ten percent and there are some outliers there for example in rwanda about a third of the influential voices were politicians but it was lower overall than we expected and then the third key finding which was really interesting to us was the prevalence of balts we saw faults. in other words twitter accounts exhibiting machinelike behavior prevalent across all of the elections rising up to in fact twenty five percent in kenya. it's been five years since a stray leo toughened it's already hard line immigration policy and began sending
