in the process before the electorate here gets a vote in october what about the other potential candidates or anybody stand out but we're not really there's another twelve candidates of the twelve parties putting forward their candidates at conventions around brazil mostly in brasilia today among the front runners. the silver the former economy minister the new one that's getting most of the attention is a military man by the name of also not all very controversial figure but he does seem to attract huge crowds often says exactly what those crowds want want to hear often to contradict himself the following day so obviously many have likened him said to donald trump in the united states very controversial figure. but he does seem to be gaining in the polls although nobody in the opinion polls matches the rating of former president lula da silva he still leads the opinion polls although

the fact he's not there he is serving those twelve years in prison has left a huge void in brazilian politics with his own party and the brazilian political system in general is struggling to fill. thank you very much. and his reign as government has started conducting a census of car owners which is says will help determine the most efficient way of using feel resources that mean protests against the census with many people worried it could lead to rationing fuel shortages are common in venezuela and five years of recession is that your steep fall in oil production in the opec nation. hundreds of bus drivers have held their own protest using their vehicles to block roads as well as protesting against the census their own happy about the cost and shortage of spare parts. the muslims and our what benefit. their sense of we are tired of them we've had seven of them already and guess what we're still here with the same problem we had before. donna's now for more on this is mark weisbrot he's

the director of the center for economic and policy research in washington d.c. thanks for being with us so what's your interpretation of what the gummed is trying to do with the census well i don't really know what they're doing i mean if they are going to ration gasoline than they would be to know who has cars and i think rationing is if it is one alternative you're if you're not going to allow the price. to be set by the market and right now they're giving away gasoline for free. then the alternative to that is rationing to how i mean how dangerous would it be for the government to either rise raise the price of gasoline or or russian as you as you say. why i think there is a way to or raise the prize they could raise the price and then allocate the

revenues simultaneously to other things that people need so for example they could put it on their food rationing you know they do give away food they're distributing food to something like half the population right now so they could use the money for that and so there would be a direct connection between the increase in the price of gasoline. to. other aid food aid to the majority of the population so i think that they will eventually have to do that i mean you know they have a two thousand mile two thousand kilometer border with a comb and so billions of dollars worth of gasoline have over the years gone across that border and if you give it to people for free and you have a place that close where you can sell it at the world in something like the world market price you're going to lose a lot of that gasoline so the current system is not sustainable they'll have to

change it i mean one of the phases poses that is the fact that people might then it might be the tipping point for people who have been of all sorts of things that medicines and food and so on if suddenly. the past if a few were increased than is the suggestion that it might lead to riots so it historically there's not been a popular myth as it. you know and then that's why the government has always been afraid of it but this is reached the point where again they're it's literally just about free. the price is so low some fraction of a penny per gallon. you know you can fill up a whole gasoline cylindrical truck for the price of an egg so this is you know this is you can't have that governments losing a lot of revenue and you know there is you know we had rationing during world war two if they go that route it is possible and they're facing a situation that is worse than anything we faced in world war two in the country is

at least domestically. and you know with hyperinflation and a long depression and and there is by the way you know an economic war when when the government talks about that that's actually true the united states is very openly trying to overthrow the venezuelan government by. ruining or the economy or preventing i should say the economy from recovering and it has illegal financial sanctions against the country they're illegal under the charter of the organization of american states and under various treaties that the united states has signed and they don't even have the you know any excuse like they could you know argue you can argue about russia or iran and what kind of security threat they might pose under certain assumptions but venezuela poses no never posed any security threat the united states and also it's a very aggressive. regime change operation that the trumpet ministration has

again very openly followed is something that probably is has been done in the last fifty years by the u.s. government to do that kind of thing so openly so they are facing that and that makes it very difficult for the economy to recover without very serious changes not my spirit thank thank you for your thoughts thank you. dozens of students have been injured in fighting with police in bangladesh's capital dhaka the protesters are angry about poor road safety standards after two fellow students were killed by a speeding bus last week police deny witness reports that they used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up the crowd and lashes transport system is plagued by corruption and a lack of regulation. tens of thousands of women are for tested and sold against so-called spy cam poor in practice involves men hiding cameras in public toilets and changing rooms they secretly film women and then post the video on porn sites

foreign policy report also mentions two bills in congress that try to redirect more funding away from owner and significantly reduce the number of palestinian refugees energical for u.s. aid more leisure speak to chris gunness he's the chief spokesman for the un's relief and works agency for palestinian refugees thanks very much indeed for being with us sir how concerned are you by that the suggestion that if it to be the traumatization is wants to dismantle owner. well first of all i will not engage in personal i used to for tat megaphone diplomacy through the media would any of the shills in any donor governments the us administration however has not formally in directly communicated to us a number about any specific concerns that is now being raised in certain quarters indeed their backs pressed satisfaction with our programs and indeed we remain grateful to the u.s. government and people for the sixty million they gave us this year they are one of our largest donor still but if they don't have credible reports of misuse of

funding we will investigate and take action but let's not lose sight of the fact that the mandate of to provide emergency and human development services to palestine refugees is robustly backed by the international community through the un general assembly after it has done for nearly seventy years and that endorsement continues to be in place and why that is we will do our utmost to implement our mandate and provide services to some of the most disadvantaged people on the planet it's just to get back to the to the issue of how they're trying to do this one of the claims is that cyber cat has said that he's a palestinian chief negotiator he said in june that krishna delegation had said it was ready to stop funding or altogether and instead direct the money to wards jordan and other countries the palestinian refugees if that were the case what would the effect be. well look let's be very clear these are people they are human beings that they are individuals with the right and those rights have to be

respected that individuals with needs and belmar abilities those needs will have to be addressed now they have to be addressed in the present this is something which is ongoing and if you look at a place like the gaza strip there are a million people who are on the food lines there are a million food insecure people we help produce something which is ongoing and if you look at a place like the gaza strip there are a million people who are on the food lines there are a million food insecure people we have programs in syria where there's a war raging the palestinians there as i say are human beings with needs and vulnerabilities somebody is going to have to look after them if there is in no one's interest to have five point three million dispossessed and hungry and ill and desperate people around the middle east but if the point where to to to give the responsibility to the country to host countries and to give them the money to to to help them would that not be a solution well we're very clear if you see the general assembly that set the

mandate and set the parameters and the general assembly has given us a very robust indorsement of our mandate to continue providing human development and emergency services to the refugees if anything is going to change this have to come of course if it's about a mandate general assembly kristie we're going to thank you very much indeed for taking time to talk to soldiers or. families in gaza have held funerals for two palestinians who were killed by israeli forces on friday the fifteen year old and twenty five year old died during clashes along the gaza border which wounded two hundred twenty others palestinians have been staging weekly protests for more than four months now they're demanding better living conditions and a right to return one hundred fifty seven palestinians have been killed since the protests began gun control supporters in the u.s.

would be marching on the headquarters of the national rifle association thousands of people from the march for our lives movement are calling for tighter legislation of firearms robin olds is live in fairfax virginia first of all what kind of turnout has there been for this rob. it's a pretty large crowd lauren i didn't i wasn't able to really counted we may get some estimates from the fairfax county virginia police later on but certainly as many as a thousand and most people have left now except for a small handful of folks on both sides the people you can see behind me here have been here for a while there i think maybe fifty to one hundred pro n.r.a. demonstrators who came to have kind of a counter protest they brought a lot of bull horns and shouted a lot of slogans at the march for our lives folks and as you can see the police officers have kept the two sides very separated so this is been

a completely peaceful event as far as we've seen the march for lives demonstrators are calling for a ban on assault weapons they're calling for universal background checks including . for guns that are sold between private parties and at so-called gun shows they're also asking for an end to the tax exempt status of the national rifle association which they blame for killing much of the gun legislation restriction legislation that has died in car in the republican congress over the past several years they're also. mounting in full out on a campaign to register people to vote particularly young people you know in the united states eighteen year olds can vote in federal elections as an election here in the state of virginia for senate trying to sign up as many high school kids of

eighteen and over as they can to get out there and to vote in that election and to make gun control and gun violence a major issue when they choose their politics and rob given what you mentioned about the power of the n.r.a. and also the way in the business. to push through gun control has been the last few years how like him or any of these demands to be met in the near future. in the near future i'd say the odds are extremely unlikely lauren it would take a change of parties in control of the us congress under the system of course there are two branches there are two houses of congress certainly both of them would have to be in the hands of the opposition democratic party in order for any meaningful gun legislation to be passed and that in itself is not a sure thing because many democrats also represent states where gun sports and gun

rights are popular and then of course as long as president trump is in the white house he has brought a strongly come out in support of the second amendment that's the right to bear arms in the u.s. constitution so he would certainly the to any restrictive gun legislation but it will take a lot of political change in this country for the sway of the national rifle association and its membership to no longer be the deciding voice in the debate over gun violence. thank you very much. the spanish authorities say they've rescued two hundred twenty three refugees trying to cross the mediterranean for boats were found in spanish waters on saturday bringing the number of rescued miners to close to fifteen thousand since the end of may spain has become a preferred destination since italy shut its ports to aid groups and jane. a muslim woman in denmark has become the first person in the country to be charged with wearing a full face veil in public she came to police attention after

running dry the netherlands like most of northern europe is experiencing the heat wave. persistent high temperatures combined with a lack of rain have resulted in a record breaking drought but unlike other countries it's not a shortage of drinking water that worries people here the most important task in times of drought rests upon the shoulders of the local dike or flood barrier inspectors i was entering we were going to lie so we have the lowest point in the netherlands checking on the dikes which are vulnerable to drought. during a drought the dikes can dry out causing them to become weaker and less capable of holding back the water. holding although the soil is now so dry that a single shower won't do will really need two weeks of rainfall to bring the dikes

back to strength. ward it may not be instantly obvious but this country success relies on a delicate water balance the rhine river originating in this race is crucial to fill up the lakes and push back to seawater preventing it from silting up the lens but as the river water level drops bombs have to be activated to help its branches flow in some provinces farmers are being told to stop irrigating their lands even if it means losing their crops this lake behind me is the reason that for now dutch people aren't too worried the iso mary is the key water reservoir in the netherlands in times of drought but even this huge water besson containing about three and a half million olympic swimming pools of fresh water could have critical levels if it doesn't start raining in the next few weeks. well the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events around the world are being attributed to climate change

people in the netherlands now wonder if their driest summer on record could be just the start of things to come what we can expect is more summers like this in the future where it's really a big the roth problem we are very good to managing to watch water now we have to learn how we can manage the little water with the forecast showing no significant rains over the next two weeks the dutch are facing a real stress test for the future in a changing climate. your downspouts el jazeera amsterdam the netherlands so i had this news out rebuilding mosul after i so nine months on the city is still in ruins i meet a man who's taking matters into his own hands. and his sport football's governing body takes its day up and controls into the world of e-sports.
