the indians for only one hundred thirty. i don't see any lack of a lack of. trying i think india of obviously doing everything they can but from my perspective i'm just so pleased. both as a performing as well as they are. i think that that's probably been what's been the difference is not necessarily india but how well we performed that full of full phenomenal. that mexico city is one of the most congested cities in the world with huge traffic jams a regular part of people's commute and that motorists are being treated to an unexpected surprise when they had their red lights on home when they explained. the light turns red in mexico city and something extraordinary happens. look. this is the idea of identica

a ballet company working with the mix crew city government to take don'ts to the masses in this traffic choked city that means here. is the satisfaction for every ballerina to dance on the stage to reach all kinds of different people and see their reactions much closer than just from an assigned seat watching you from every side. motorists and pedestrians who catch the performance early tool in all. the movie makes you think oh i never seen something like that here that belongs in a theater and to see it in the street you just say wow. it reminds us what we really are because sometimes the daily routine can make us mechanical this brings us back to ourselves. they've got to classics like swan lake. to fit exactly in the fifty eight seconds between lights. they've made other adjustments to special non-slip shoes and changes in routine for less jumps on the hard road on cold days
6:45 am
like this one they have to warm up for an hour and a half before performing the sacrifices are worth it they say to try and reach a new audience there are a couple of places where plays available at affordable prices at least to mr city but the company's action is that it's something out of people's reach and that's what the company trying to do hit to give a little change that perception and leave people searching from all angles as you can ok. with it and so on but i think i'm betting the space of those in transit is a little like saying hey we're part of your society and we'd like you to come and see us for invading your space why don't you come to us why don't you take a chance and watch a performance in its entirety. after about twenty five lightning performances in one hour it's all over until they pop up at another traffic light somewhere else in the capitol. john home an al-jazeera mexico city.

announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to for the dry riverbed like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been able to escape the war. full of struggles. but on their own with not only that i mean all along that i'm walking up on them with a full of pleasure. and i'm getting where it off in but on the north an intimate look at life in cuba today those of us young want to. know more than you know i've never been as able to mind cuba on al-jazeera.

do you stand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the. al-jazeera. the riots and anti racism campaigners to drive all rallies in washington a year after a white supremacist demonstration turned deadly in charlottesville. ellen malcolm it's good to have you here with us this is our desire live from london also
6:49 am
coming up. counting starts in the presidential election and mali and election workers killed and then attacked in the north. after twenty two years of negotiations an agreement is signed which could finally settle a territorial dispute over the caspian sea. and the dancers going on the road in mexico to spread the word about ballet. dozens of protesters and hundreds of counter demonstrators have gathered in washington d.c. so marked the anniversary of last year's deadly white supremacist rally in the u.s. city of charlottesville the united the right group is leading what's being dubbed a see white civil rights rally supporters were escorted by police as they marched through the streets towards the white house and the white nationalists have been met by counter protesters who are rallying against racism here lee
6:50 am
a thousand people are taking part and an afternoon program of music speeches and poetry readings. let's go live now to alan fischer who's near the white house at lafayette square allan tell us about what's happening there. well you can see the police are just moving in behind me here that's essentially the step that they will take before they start opening up the roads here the roads here being closed for the last few hours across in the park farragut park which can see right next to the white house just on the other side of the park pennsylvania avenue splits the park from the white house there's still a few hundred protesters but certainly the heavy rain that you can see year and the thunderstorm that we had an hour or so ago certainly took the numbers down not only that but the fact that the number of so-called all right white supremacists who turned up for this event remember they were given a pair met for up to four hundred no more than a couple of dozen actually turned up here so there were thousands and thousands of
6:51 am
people here to confront them to drown them out the blood them when they had people speak so the chances of anyone hearing anything at the other rally on the other side of the park would have been very slim indeed but this was a very broad coalition of people very broad number of groups that turned up here one of them was the new black panther movement now you remember the black panther movement actually started back in the one nine hundred sixty s. it was a political movement to protest police brutality against black men and women it has reemerged in the last couple of years now i spoke to one of their senior people their chief of staff nationally and he told me what he thought about the big turnout here at farragut square it would have pleased me to have them turned down the permits and it would have pleased us not to go and see races get accommodation the full of fleet of policeman of taxpayers' dollars being for someone who's
6:52 am
a cold blooded races does a poor isn't cool that deter the moral fabric of the societies or. well i can tell you that the group that where the so called all right the white supremacists they were brought in by the police but interestingly enough i saw one clash where a couple of people who were over usually heading to the rally somehow got lost got mr erected and found themselves in the midst of all the protesters now suddenly what we saw was a group from peace d.c. surrounding them and trying to lead them to the police they were an entirely successful there was a man and a woman the man had long here he was punched a number of times by the protesters on this side of the fence through water bottles at them the even spray paint in his here eventually they got them to the police the police then surrounded them asked the where the vehicle was and a large number of police escorted them to get to their car to get them out of time
6:53 am
but that was really the only trouble we saw this hasn't been what you would call a good natured rally people here are still very angry at what happened over a week ago angry as you haired that a group would get a permit to protest here right in the heart of the nation's capital but they feel they made their point and they did so by having thorough uses of people turn out to confront what turned out to be no more than a handful of the right wing. the events are particularly sensitive because of what happened last year how would you say the general public or americans are viewing this issue has there been a change or any kind of outpouring of reaction. well certainly if you look at all the polls there are a number of people who are very unhappy with the way president particularly handles the issue of race yet if you're a republican there's a new poll out just in the last few hours that suggests that eighty three percent
6:54 am
of them are very happy with the way he handles the issue of race but certainly what has happened over the last year has brought this back to public consciousness is never really gone away in the united states racism is something that is never that far away and certainly reignited the debate you get very stark contrast when you see what has happened here over the last couple of hours but there are those who are trying to reach into the others community to try and reach some sort of understanding to try and come to some sort of accommodation but it seems a very difficult question with many many decades of history that won't easily be sorted just by a few conversations it's going to take a much bigger national drive perhaps even headed at some point from a white house whether that's a white house with donald trump or someone else in charge alan fischer standing in the rain for us to keep an eye on those to opposing rallies thank you very much.
6:55 am
dozens of activists and residents also gathered in charlottesville some of the victims of last year's violence and from there andy gallagher sent us this report. that. a year after the eyes of the world focused on charlottesville there's still anger many of those who took to the streets are upset about the massive security operation that's virtually locked the city down others a keen to send a message of peace and reconciliation were called the mob were not called the hate there is nowhere. in my. scriptures where we're called to hate people so that's what i'm done here it's starkly different from what happened twelve months ago when white nationalists and counter protesters clashed fifty two year old had to here was killed at school became a flashpoint over the fate of statues of soldiers in forth to slavery activists say racism still exists here in the community is pulling together local organizers
6:56 am
continue to come together to find ways to protect each other because we know that the city and these institutions are here for us and are here to protect us and so what i've seen is an amazing resilience from the community who is standing up and speaking up and showing up for things like the day after a year of reflection some things have changed in charlottesville the city's on the new leadership but challenges remain the confederate statues a spot last year's trouble still stands and many here say deep rooted racism is still a problem i gallacher al-jazeera charlottesville virginia. ok we cannot go back to washington our correspondent john hendren has been monitoring the unite the rights rally so john give us an idea for the scene there is like. the right wing groups the. numbers as big as four hundred but. at the virginia. station the subway station there. waving
6:57 am
american flags they climbed on that train and they got off on the other end in washington. and they were entirely. time as they marched from the. square right across from the white house which is where we are now the entire time . pretty much. not heard here in. quite a big turnout. what do we know has happened. well
6:58 am
the head of this group. made a mistake that being a free speech absolutist bunch of very extremist groups and that a lot of groups had participated in that event one year ago were not participating among them. that was richard spencer there was a group called identity. nationalists the american guard. group the neo confederate. they did not participate this year and there was another . national movement so a lot of those very controversial groups that were involved in the. to this event john hendren washington for us thank you. vote counting has started in mali after the presidential runoff
6:59 am
a polling station worker was killed in an attack by an armed group ended off of the country the first round of voting in july was also marred by violence with reaction workers killed and voting materials destroyed the incumbent abraham boubacar kater is expected to return to power opposition leader sissay who won nearly eighteen percent in the first round is alleging fraud mohamed vile has more from the capital bamako. the final hours of sunday have seen a little better turnout here in this polling center where i'm standing in marco in comparison to earlier in the day and also to what we saw on july twenty ninth mali has a bad history of turnouts and this one is not different apparently the opposition has been largely demoralized by the results that many of the opposition leaders got in the first round and many of them have refused to stand behind. the c.c.
7:00 am
who is now running against the president in the run of. we have reports of some incidents in the north including the killing of the head of a polling station in the region of timbuktu not clear yet why this man was killed nor the identity of the people who killed him also reports of a very low turnout in the north and that has been expected because of the insecurity that's widespread there in the north and in the center of the country. expectations here about the president will win this vote by a large majority the opposition has failed to united sciex and the opposition leader the man running against. so why the city has made a strong call to opposition leaders to stand behind him but they have many of them have refused to do that so the conclusion that insults of this election.
