lol. this is al jazeera and from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the new street bombs in syria russian syrian forces or more targeted attacks on rebel held areas around. the bombing intensifies we're focusing on the people rather than the politics just want a whites millions of civilians in a house to even prepare. japan. their first tennis grand slam but you wouldn't know it the. final was overshadowed by a running battle between her opponent serena williams and the umpire with claims of sexism cheating and they're running around the clock and after ten years of

austerity just how do you move a country like greece for what prime minister reckons he has the answers but many people aren't so sure we'll explore how greece can reduce unemployment and bring the economy back to life. and i'm lee harvey and sweden is known as one of the happiest countries in the world but today's parliamentary elections are showing a different side to the country but is the rise in support for the far right being played out too much by global media. aging expert. live. streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com and if you were with us yesterday saturday you will remember the dramatic images of syrian and russian forces targeting rebel held areas in problems filmed by an al jazeera crew in the area today. a another round of bombings unfortunately as more barrel bombs

dropped in rebel held territory activists and rescue workers say there were more than sixty attacks targeting both it live and northern hama which is a little further to the south and despite the obvious humanitarian concern concerns i'm sorry that you get out of that. there as a full attack and perhaps a ground offensive still expected neighboring turkey of those fears an increase in violence could spark a mass exodus of refugees as well now there has been a lot of talk about the lights of turkey the politics in the past few days so we came today to focus more on the people of it live how they are bracing themselves for what might be ahead first to get a quick look at the map just to explain some of the thinking in the just six behind what's going on at the moment the bombing we've seen in the last couple days is happening in southern areas around here which i'm highlighting why there because of the road if you look at this road which heads from aleppo further south right

through their heads further south to hama and eventually takes you all the way down to damascus that is an important road so taking control of the areas within it becomes crucial there's also we'll just get rid of that but then have a look at over here this is possibly where we should turn our attention as well a little further to the west because and once again it's about those roads from it live this one heads down to latakia but tukey is an important area for the syrian government it's in the red zone they've taken back all that area strategic area and they wouldn't be wanting to let the rebels get any further down there and closer to that so let's check in with stephanie in an taqiyya reporting on turkey's border with syria hi stephanie first of all talk us through the attacks that we have seen today. that's right come on it was the second day of what seems to be somewhat of an escalation but again he never was trying to define this is this mean that the offensive on this started i think it's still early to say that in particular as you mentioned the rumors that always been

for weeks now that this would be the first area that the government and its allies would be targeting particularly because of this crucial highways that lead from aleppo to latakia and down to the capital damascus so we've seen another day another wave of barrel bombs of russian jets targeting the southern countryside and also the north of how the province has been some artillery shelling for the last hour or so it's been relatively quiet we've seen some people leave the area even though these areas are not very densely populated with civilians people left those areas a long time ago our cameraman inside spoke some people have said to us that footage one man saying that when he was asked whether he thought the syrian government would take it back said that he expected everything at this point that he believed nowhere was safe because he expected this military offensive to escalate and he was heading towards the turkish border of course the borders here remain closed the turkish authorities have made it very clear that they are overcapacity when it

comes to syrian refugees inside turkey and have no intention on opening those borders so if news you would have heard were very much for a single pulling away from the politics out of things and looking at the people we talk a lot about the refugees who might spillover into turkey but are really what your thoughts on who gets left behind me is millions of people there and you just get these shades of aleppo in your head the people who got stuck the people who couldn't get out as the bombing just intensified and intensified what happens to them. well at the moment no one is getting out because the borders are closed most of the territory surrounding it live province is controlled by government forces there is a sliver that goes to the north which is turkey controlled rebels at turkey backs in the area called the free to shield so when you talk about the civilians and there's over three million civilians inside the province they pulled into two categories one of them around a million of those are people who've been displaced time and time again through this now eight year war kamau they don't live in any form of comfort they haven't

been able to rebuild their lives they are dependent on aid handouts and that's one of the concerns of course in full on escalation starts will aid still be able to get in the second category that save people in it but those boys live there they live in the cities and again concerns that we've heard from the head of turkey the turkish red crescent here saying that the military groups and there's many of those on the ground just to highlight how complicated the situation is are also within the city so it's very difficult there are no clear front lines for any military operation to target so people are stuck as always in this war the civilians have no say whatsoever and they're just literally waiting to see how it's all going to unfold just briefly kemal it's going to unfold in one of two ways either a military offensive or political track or a bit of both how exactly it's going to play out at this point still nobody knows right context there from stephanie decker reporting from i'm talking a turkey syria border there we're going into it live now on skype is

a genie who is an academic and a civil activist thank you for your time we're trying to get an understanding of what life is like for you there tell us about exactly where you live and how your life is how you're preparing for what might be coming. thank you very much i'm living ten kilometers to the south of at least city and it countryside. yes. people are very worried because it's collation seems to have started two days ago with air strikes in the southern part of at least countryside and nothing part of the countryside itself very horrible situation as people have no choice as to make as the border is a closed as you said in your report and in the speaker before me and and the economy because situation is very horrible as well and people. don't

know what to do next what's coming up next and every other day war seems to be bought more potential actually and it covers all aspects of life let me give you one example for some suicide. cases have been spot spotted especially among young girls at the cost of they they might have heard some horrible stories about rape when the regime forces might come back to the area people are very frightened now but i have to say that they are determined i mean those who confide determined not to leave but to stay and fight and fight because you know can you imagine that half the population of. one point four million people forcefully displaced from other areas of the country and

i don't know how many times do they need to be displaced so they have no other choice they are living in the corner and yeah sorry to interrupt i do want to ask a simple question can you. can you tell me how and if. if you can prepare for this you know something is coming is there a way to get. supplies in to really sustain you if and when the bombing starts i just i'm trying to get my head inside this the situation you're in. actually i'm unable to imagine what's going to happen when the bonding or the air strikes are starts on a larger scale and people seem to have some kind of hope that a deal might be done by the end of this week or some sometime like this people. have some hope that turkey would do something

to prevent this attack. and people are following up with the news that the european union and they are not in the states have expressed their deep concern over the situation and it lives and some people think that the regime is unable and i'm talking now on the ground forces to invade the area as it is just double the size maybe of kuwait or just as big as lebanon with a three million people one hundred one million of them are children and women may be. and the main concern for people here just like what happened before that health facilities are going to be the most several targets for the regime and its allies the russians just like attacked and in such a school last year in every way and two thousand and seventeen when they first started targeting hospitals and health centers and the civil defense around. before

they carried out that tack with chemical weapons so that nobody could take any injured to any health center or nearby hospital how are you and your. yeah how are you and your your your friends your family how are you coping at the moment i mean what are you what are you doing during the days what are you. this waiting for actually. very few people have decided what to do for myself and. always keep. telling my family of that. nothing is horrible is going to happen but i am not telling the truth sometimes because you know if you start making fears for your children they will have many psychological problems so when it comes to going to evacuated them to a safe area not necessarily to turkey i know it's closed but maybe there are some in the farms maybe in caves in big farms sometimes just under trees and we have had

this experience before many times that throughout seventy years buck the steins seems to be the most horrible one the most you know deadly. action maybe the final stage and. actually every family has got a different plan nobody knows about those plans abilities jenny thank you for talking to us i know it's a stressful time for you and i do appreciate your time thank you as been my pleasure to liam move forces from and started to write well our producer is sound i used to work there and so because of that we've been able to speak to several other syrians across at length and they've been eager to share their stories with us one sent us this video showing the scale of the bombardment and the shelling of towns and ad lib so far they're saying if the current attacks continue then thousands of families will find themselves with literally nowhere to go like this family who've

been recently displace. they are we were living in camps near how my province close to the front line with the regime and we started getting hit with artillery and rockets so we had to leave with seven families stranded here in italy with no shelter all we ask is for someone to help us and protect us from her of this we asked some inside syria how they are preparing for a possible attack on the province and this is what they had to say. keep on seeing and hearing the regime's propaganda about an imminent attack as activists our responsibility is to create awareness and tell people that this is all just a tactic by the regime to get them out of their houses. not getting ready for anything i live my life normally selling ice cream on the roundabout because i know the essid regime doesn't have the guts to attack it. we know that the so-called attacked us far away we know the regime is too scared if it does attack it will

definitely lose if there are more than one hundred thousand fighters here in addition to three million people out of which two million will also become fighters to defend their families. as for the preparations we all took an oath at the beginning of the revolution to remain peaceful but most of us have agreed that if the regime attacks we will take our families to the border and any other safe place and we will take up arms to protect our families and our land while syrians are asking what the world is going to do to help those in ad lib some are actually praising us president donald trump here's one boy's message to the president. i know my name. and my message delivered. today i can't get.

my was the need to. think that it is because you are the only needed in the water or. you know you. think. hundreds of thousands of people. they prove. to me on many children like me will be made that incredibly loving too late in their world who were deemed international to predict their children like me. a little numb or. another take on president travel now if you're in syria do you continue to share your stories with us you can reach us through our hash tag as always hash tag a jane is good thanks les that getting amazing wasn't really interesting stuff there never tame it out zero dot com has put together this primer ideas on what's

coming in it live there are maps video q. and a's opinion pieces they're all in one place and of course that will be regularly updated as the events change on the ground everything you need to know about the looming battle for lip is that al-jazeera dot com if you just click on any of the tags that say syria's war and i will tweet that link out shortly as well and perhaps you'd like to get in touch with us contact details are on screen in fact i'm hearing from some of your really sorry who's watching on facebook lives of the situation is horrible i can't imagine how i would explain this to my children if i was there and actually when you saw the children in that little a.j. plus video that it hits home doesn't it actually trying to explain to a child anywhere in the world i think why this is happening is pretty difficult that's a facebook dot com slash al-jazeera we're sorry is watching thank you for your comment plus nine seven four five zero one triple one four nine whatsapp and telegram hashtag of course a.j. news grid now we're moving to yemen hooty sources are reporting that saudi led

coalition forces have launched dozens of air strikes on a day in the last twenty four hours there are reports of heavy fighting since the peace talks were abandoned in geneva on saturday we've got andrew symonds who's covering events for us from djibouti just across the water there we have been so focused on the talks the failed talks in the end it was andrew but what's been going on in the meantime. well they would same what everyone feared her date of the key port city in rebel held who to the north is on the considerable attack we're hearing that in fact scores of asteroids now have taken place and it's almost constant warfare on the ground the norwegian refugee council says western and southern parts of the data city are actually under intense attack and they also report that it's closer to the city

to this since the city center and indeed the port itself then since the offensive began in june just let you catch up on this when the geneva talks were attempted there seemed to be a lull in this fighting and of course then we had a situation whereby the hoochie delegation said it couldn't get the necessary assurances of safe passage to fly to geneva to go to the talks now martin gryphus the u.n. special envoy said that he tried and he admitted failure not to get a peace deal but to get some form of consultation on the way in geneva in some form of calm but it would appear that we're now into a full scale battle there is another report that scores of dead are in fact multiple sources here mainly i hasten to add hoochie media but also some others none of this can be verified there are figures scores of dead mainly

fighters soldiers insurgents as i described as well but also many civilians and it's not just in who data city is right across the data province we're having reports also that there are a pain many airstrikes in married and sada and civilians killed in one of the cities we're not sure where information is difficult. to verify on the ground i hasten to add but we do have a situation where the we're really back to where we started and it would seem that this may be military strategy to go for a key port which is a lifeline to the capital city of sana'a it is absolutely a lifeline not just military terms for them but also in humanitarian terms and margaret has did say this would be an absolute calamity if this was to escalate and that there was a cut off from santa and the port city and indeed the airport as well there's been

fighting in the surrounds of the airport anderson is with an update on the situation in yemen he is in djibouti thank you enter. fighting in iraq ongoing as well the iranian military is claiming responsibility for an attack on kurdish forces in northern iraq the democratic party of iranian kurdistan and fifteen of its fighters were killed forty others injured saturday's attack the first of its kind by iran on the kurds in more than two decades kurdish opposition groups are calling on the international community to criticize iran for the attack and that they don't that with rob matheson reporting from baghdad tonight hi rob tell us what more you know about this attack. well the first important thing to note about this kemal is the scale of the tag back in one thousand nine hundred ninety six that was the time when this similar attack took place almost twenty years ago it was skirmishes it was fighting on the ground between troops and soldiers and fighters this is very different we've seen the pictures there of them firing

missiles and partly been using drones to take in artillery as well to drop on to the camps the reason for these attacks iran revolutionary guard is saying is because the fighters had been clashing with revolutionary guards i'm just reading the statement here in iran's own kurdistan region and it also said that iran had warned the kurdish leaders of this group that it wanted them to dismantle their camps and they were not doing that so that's another reason why it's carried out the attack let me just tell you what the and the kady p.r.i. . really stands for it's iran's oldest kurdish party and it's trying to seek more autonomy for cards in iran it's been in existence for many years and over those years it's seen several of its leaders assassinated by type attack iran. the second and equally important point it certainly is far as iraq is concerned is the

timing of this attack we've seen it just a couple of days after the violence that we've been talking about here in al jazeera in the southern iraqi city of basra which is very close to the iranian border and in violence you'll remember the iranian consulate in basra was torched and burned iran is furious over that you know this attack follows just a couple of days there's nothing to link these two incidents but here in iraq there is a lot of speculation about whether or not israel iran is demonstrating to iraq that it can strike back and it can strike powerfully when it wants to rob patterson reporting from baghdad on situations concerning iraq and iran thank you rob. now we're talking sports a little earlier on today's grid because we've got tatiana here of course the u.s. open women's final much more than sports and it's a big news isn't it yet it didn't come without the drama kemal

a name is sarka won her first tennis the grand slam at the u.s. open but it was her parents arena williams who stole the headlines with an extraordinary outburst at the much higher the highest profile player in the women's game accuse the much official of being a fave and fecche this before losing in straight sets david stokes has the action. i stated i stated i said i serino williams regularly produces a show on co but not like this this was a us open final like no other williams was going for a record equalling twenty fourth grand slam miami osaka sixteen years her junior was looking for her first and surprisingly it was a sucka who looked more comfortable winning the first set in little over half an hour i then the real drama started serena's coach was spotted offering advice from the stands something that's not allowed at grand slams codes

on national television morning mrs williams i understand why you may have thought that was coach telling you it's not and cheating when it was as i sucked his lead grew so did serenus frustration and it wasn't long before the umpire intervened again this time to ducting her a point the smashing her racket tensions were running high ecosoc asuka's domination continued. and so did so in his argument with the umpire. was. it so i. can't punish you i wasn't. getting. his hands after having a game taken off serina got the match referee involved. it was. that we. despite all the destruction kept cool and rough so

a memorable maiden championship. the web she's the first japanese by a male or female to win a tennis crown slam. serena embraced her and then stepped in when parts of the crowd booed at the trophy presentation was a winner was cheering her sorry that this. was to continue to go and then play here again was it. was serene or certainly stole the headlines but the trophy belongs to osaka and just twenty years old they could be the first of many they did

start al-jazeera while the drama didn't stop there it continued into the post punch press conference as well take a listen to this i can't sit here and say i wouldn't say he's a thief because i thought he took a game from me but i've seen other men car other empires several things and i'm here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff in for me to say thief and for him to take a game it made me feel like it was a sexist remark i mean like how he's never seen again from a man because i said. we have those very much i but i want to continue to to fight for women in to fight for us to have equal acorn a should be able to take her shirt off without getting a far i like this is outrageous serena's coach patrick martin can you actually admitted he was coaching her from the stands much to williams surprise. and i just

texted patrick what is he talking about because we don't have signals we've never discussed i don't even call for. i'm trying to figure why you would say that i don't understand i mean maybe he said you can do it but i was on the far other in so i'm not sure i want to clarify myself. i'm joined now by randy walk around to the tennis alter and for the u.s. tennis federation for many is randy while with the umpire was the umpire actually being sexist and what was your reading of what happened well i think to call that kind of penalty at that juncture in the later stages of the u.s. open women's final on that grand stage many people are saying that that kind of crossed the line he should have just sat in a seat and just let it blow over and deescalate the situation but instead he asked a lady in this situation and it's become such a huge controversy serenus actually implied to this she might not compete at the

u.s. open in the future can you actually see that happening. i don't see that happening i think serena is the ultimate competitor which you could see you know from her efforts at wimbledon and getting to the finals there and getting to the finals here at the u.s. open and she's trending upwards and is such a competitor and i know she really wants to break that all time grand slam singles mark that she's won away from from margaret court so she's going to keep going until she not only equals that record but tries to break it as well so you know i think it was a little bit of you know obviously she was very upset under the circumstances last night but we'll see her competing i'm sure at the australian open in several months time and randi we have to talk about naomi asako someone how impressed why you would happen to form and think when you think competing perhaps at the tokyo and takes in twenty twenty. oh i mean the osaka is going to be huge at the

tokyo olympics i mean she. you know is the breakthrough star we've all been watching her in the tennis world since she won the title in indian wells and march on hard courts and member patrick mcenroe the former u.s. davis cup captain was adamant during wimbledon saying no not only osaka is going to win wimbledon and she was a little short there but he was just one grand slam premature in his prediction and she came through so she's certainly going to be a superstar on the global stage at the tokyo olympics you know certainly the japanese love their sports and they have their new sporting hero and iommi osaka back to us the rain around tikrit this performance this drama affects her reputation damage it. no i think it's actually going to enhance it i mean certainly she's a fiery competitor which you can see when she plays every match and you know certainly when she broke her racket you know

a lot of players do that and that's an instant code violation which she absolutely deserved the coaching violation that was all on her coach patrick moore toggle who it was a serious fault that was patrick's fault he admitted it mediately after the match on the s.p.n. broadcast to pam shriver he said i coached i take responsibility except this really where the question is whether the chair umpire carlos ramos whether he stepped over the line and got too involved in giving her a code violation for abuse verbal abuse which is debatable and certainly very debatable in the later stages of the u.s. open final where the match hangs in the balance and that really helped tilt. the verdict two to osaka not to say that osaka wasn't going to win but it just kind of damage the end of the of the match there where it really could have been to deescalate a rather than escalated at that time so i don't think serena is brand is going to

be hurt at all from this actually i think it's going to be even enhanced i think controversy certainly gets a lot of attention you know it's all over the american television stations the global stations tennis is a front page story today around the globe because of this because of this controversy and serenus speaking up for women's rights i think there is a little bit of a double standard there as far as when code violations are called based on things that players say so she's going to she's the champion of of working women now because she's playing as a working woman now as a working mom and i think that now she's certainly going to be seen as more of a spokesperson for women's rights as well so i think serena is brand is actually going to be enhanced and hance by this very interesting thank you randi for joining us on nice great. well let me share some social media reaction to what went down in that final form a while number one twelve time grand slam singles title win

a billy jean king for a passionate message on twitter saying when a woman is emotional she's hysterical and she's pain allies for it when a man does the same he's outspoken and there are no repercussions thank you serena williams for calling out this double standard more voices are needed to do the same former pro british player andrew castle added this from the other side of the fence he says memories of price's match he just can't act like afraid hashtags serena now claiming that men do this more nonsense that she claiming sexism this is not right shriver is a former american professional tennis player she adds why was the nervous sponsor of leadership earlier in the match given serena's past emotions on this u.s. open court the referee unsupervised should have help defuse the conflict sooner two of the three card violations were poor judgment a match for history deserved better leadership as for osaka her victory has not surprisingly made headlines over in japan they've been prime minister shinzo r.b.i.

has tweeted his congratulations to the first grand slam champion she left the country when she was three years old and grew up in florida over these japanese fans the happy she's competing for them. i mean i hope she will continue to shine under japan's flag at the olympics so up i think it's impressive especially since it's a first becoming one of the world's best player is it significant. as always you can share your thoughts of us using the hashtag a.j. nice great or tweet me directly at i am tatiana as most bought life that way in the one thousand nine hundred g.m.t. news albert falcon mall it is back to you and they're already sharing their thoughts as i suspect it on the live stream at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera just a sample of the comments. serene is using women's empowerment to defend her loss calling someone a thief doesn't make one stand up for women's rights it didn't make sense but then on the other side of things but on the has said she serino williams is a very strong athlete she will get back on her feet that's what randy was going to be on our moments ago and i like this from this way if he says let's not forget

osaka was actually better she won and probably didn't get the recognition she deserved on the night that see your comments your questions the hashtags a.j. news grid this is the news good interview with us on facebook live little bonus story for you now courtesy of our friends at i.j.a. plus it's about a couple's true embrace of the vow in sickness and in health and then later the swedish elections only a few hours later voters casting their ballots in an election where immigration has been the central issue we'll be live in stock. hello maybe not surprisingly this is still the hottest part of the world we get about forty seven daily the southwest of iran there's nothing really in the sky the showers that are potentially around in turkey are pretty rare events to be honest so if you want still a leper i have to say it's going to be sunny skies here it's also

on algis their. man. and on from out fear of dogs and what's trending no surprise that serino sexism and

the faith is the number one story. it's been a huge day hasn't it and i like the yes that's they can have on i ten like that food but i like their honesty have a look for that sounds interesting doesn't it that's what's trending this sunday. about is in sweden have less than three hours to cost their ballots in an election that has been centered on the issue of immigration prime minister stefan loaf and cost his ballot a little early in the day reiterated his call to voters to reject the far right the election is really one of the most unpredictable races many believe in the polls could change the political landscape of sweden so we're off to stockholm now and john hall is covering events for us hi john. yes to enough hours as you say of polling left in the day an incredibly important election this well they all but here in sweden this perhaps the most important

election in many years because it brings into play very seriously into play the far right sweden democratic party that could end up being the second biggest political force in this country after the polls close in the swedish voters took to the polls with great gusto they're very proud of their turnout here eighty five percent it was last time and it could well be that high again so let's talk a little bit about the significance of this party the sweden democrats and how or whether indeed they will bring about big changes here in sweden peter one of dusky is the man you're looking at now chief editor of the duggan's newspaper that's the daily news peter thanks for joining us people talk about huge changes as a result of this is it overblown do you think talk of the coming of the far right i think both yes and this weekend democrats are already in parliament they entered parliament in two thousand and ten they increased their support last time in two thousand and fourteen and now it looks as you say that they might become the second biggest force in the country maybe the strongest one may be on they will be the

largest party we don't know the opinion polls show a very mixed scene tonight so we will we will find out if this is a decent deal let's be honest in a country that has long prided itself on its openness its tolerance is liberal values now at the heart of its political consensus far right politics nativism identity politics and the like yes but this is still a very much a liberal society although there is one party now polling at twenty percent that is very much against the establishment in sweden but they will all get even if they have twenty five percent it's very clear now that they will not enter a government office at this election because the other parties have said very clearly that they don't want to have them on board so the big. question also tonight is who is going to govern after the election and that will take some time to find out stay with the sweden democrats they may not be in government they may

not have any direct say over future policy but they've already effected major change in policy from the sidelines in an indirect way that's going to go on isn't it i mean this is something that's we didn't go to get used to it well we have seen an adjustment from several of the parties that they have come closer to this week and democrats policies especially on immigration we've also seen that their agenda concerning immigration and law and order has become much more important industry just political discussion i mean elections in sweden usually been about the economy health care education and now suddenly we are discussing immigration immigration immigration but this is also a global trend we're seeing it across europe and we're seeing of course in the united states so sweden is not an exception just the latest country babs here in europe to pull in through all of anti immigration sentiment peter want to ask you we're going to have to leave it there thank you so much for your time the polls

close in two and a half hours here. when a lot of these questions will be on support no doubt many more will linger but you will be talking to again later thanks donna donna holes in. the hardings here a local not intentionally wearing blue and yellow orange or not to come out intentional. it really was. so we have seen it in the u.k. the u.s. and denmark in the media is calling the rise of the rates they're saying that it's happening all over it like what happened with bricks at donald trump and political cartoons but we're seeing it in sweden too especially in international news like this headline from the new york times how the far right conquered sweden or this run from newsweek here same far right islam party could win a majority in upcoming elections but what if the percent. a rise in the rate is false james savage is a journalist and wrote this article for the local sweden the headline sweden's election is been misreported abroad and this is

a problem savage and another swede responded in videos it's very easy for journalists who come here on a one week reporting trip to paint a dystopian picture it's simple it's easy but the fact is the truth is much more complicated remember this the far right sweden democrats a polling between seventeen and twenty five percent even if they do better than this they still won't form a majority they're not the only party doing well the far left former communists are doing well and the sense of the sense of policy the liberal party is doing well as well remember as well that swedes are not just obsessed with immigration one of the biggest issues in this election is health care one humdrum issue that you would see in any election in sweden or in any other country so when you hear these scare stories about sweden take a step back and question your sources before i can certainly growing today swedish

general elections but it will not be a dramatic change in swedish politics next in trump's usa you are in the united kingdom are complex it a big challenge for swedish parties use to come back again in a discrimination which has been the reasons for these trysts of the far right to not use them and. to be clear social democrats are in fact the second largest party in sweden here at the moment with polling and at just about twenty percent of the third blue square there but they don't have enough to get the majority at least not yet with that we have though seen posts of anti immigrant sentiment online for example a woman posted this picture saying she was approached by a political candidate who handed her this brochure in swedish it says it's time to go home with a little airplane there kassam though he is a somali he posted saying dear fellow swedes stand up against extremism and hatred as you vote today sweden has been a light in a world that is becoming darker and colder for immigrants we wish you

a peaceful election now if you are in sweden do let us know what you think you can write me personally at leo harding age or get in touch with us with what's up and facebook as well with their hash tag aging is great thanks there we're going to terrific special series on al-jazeera cold this is europe and this piece got a lot of traction online it's called the mothers of wrinkly it follows a group of somali mothers and grandmothers and still combing patrol the streets of the neighborhood trying to look after the youth the ones who are seen as an example of the failed integration policy and failed immigration policies ins with really good the whole series is really good this one particular really recommend you what you can find out about is the radical by searching for this is europe sweden and bent on facebook live has backed up what leo was just saying it doesn't matter how big he is to get this still only twenty percent the rest is eighty percent were moved to greece now with a prime minister alexis tsipras is on the defensive about his plans for the country's economy on saturday it's a process that outlined his financial blueprint

a trade fair saying he would like to see the employment rate high of over the next five years erm member greece has been under a stare if you measure for nearly a decade and critics say his plan amounts to nothing more than another handouts. i prime minister alexis tsipras is keen to show that greece is turning a page for years the emphasis has been on cutting costs now he is turning to growth dropping corporate tax by four points to twenty five percent and social security contributions for the self employed by a furred in an attempt to create jobs workers and consumers are set to see minimum wages rise while property and sales taxes fall. it is rolling back all sturdy era tax hikes but he is doing it carefully then you have i did not come here to distribute benefits i came to distribute and share with you

a vision of our vision for greece in a new era that is rising for our country it's not just the greeks a tax exhausted they're also headed into an election year workers came to sell an e.q. to remind the government of its promises after eight years of austerity requires that calling for. the once minimum wage restored to her i had heard once particular infrastructure and was going to new hires in health and education and they wanted onerous tax burden designed to repay four hundred billion dollars in debt lifted from their shoulders. in addition c. plus left leaning cities a party faces anger for agreeing to allow its neighbor to call itself northern macedonia. a separate protests turned violent when rocks arose clashed with police just a few hundred yards from where to put us was speaking not everyone is convinced greece can revive at this cafe many were indifferent and some were angry nearly seven

hundred thousand young people have gone abroad to recover their dignity their greeks are only here to be taxed a tax cut of a few points is no big deal cities are is not just trying to make the greek economy attractive to investors it's also trying to stimulate consumption at home. edition of the book there are strict limits to what we can spend that step by step we have to start trusting in our strengths again it's important to get greeks to invest in the country again. workers have traditionally supported left wing parties if she can overcome this skepticism it will have won its gambit jumpshot openness to sell an e.q. with us on skype from athens now yannis could sum it is who is a eurozone and let's nice to have you with us so what do you make of what mr to president's yesterday he's taking it carefully sort of seems to be baby steps at the moment is it enough is he taking the right path well i think it's not enough because the greek people coming out from eight years of us there at the are

expecting much more to build to trust again on alexis cheaper us but the real judgment will come from the eurozone creditors who will judge his program in next week the new troika team will arrive to make a new assessment of the greek economy and next month the greek the euro zone ministers will judge whether the greek economy has resources enough to load this package of super s. i think there is strong rejection in the eurozone especially germany to let the greece off the hook again of austerity so mr schippers will have a hard time convincing his the european peers that he can unleash this package of new measures to be phantom is that suppress is his cautious approach not a bit more prudent in this situation i mean you make the point greeks have been under a stereotype for so long now if you suddenly changing and reverse things there's

every chance that it may not work. exactly and the markets are becoming nervous and on greece again the greek ten year bond to the rates were up last week because investors fear that the government will unlock again this package of populist measures so mr tuberous has to work a very thin line between building his trust again on the greek society and the other hand building trust on investors and creditors jobs tell me about jobs because that is always in any economic crisis that is always the most important thing if you don't have a job then you have no faith in the system which is leading you how do you think i mean having unemployment in five years how do you think you can go about doing that . well mr chip are a super honest that he can. make it create one hundred fifty thousand new jobs

annually for the next five years this is a very big bed because he also unleashed the package of new regulations for the labor market so it will be very difficult to convince great corporations to hire new people and all the other hand have a new regulations for the labor market new jobs are created unemployment is down to nineteen percent from twenty seven percent some years ago but new jobs are not steady jobs are not full time jobs the majority of the new jobs are part time jobs at temporary jobs so is there is a need to create this stable growth and make also the environment less bureaucratic to have investment investors come in to get us down to nineteen percent that's an extraordinary numbers and yet it's got some it is joining us from athens thank you so much for your time thank you for lawrence they did this report found as they were it was from the end of last year but i thought it was with bringing back to show you now because he looks at the unemployment problem in

greece which we were just talking about but also how refugees the ones it was seen as a burden quite often could actually help resurrect the greek economy and it's good perspective if you search for refugees greece economy you'll find that piece at al-jazeera but com pretty easily. now once again for the team on facebook live in a story for you about an incident of police violence in cincinnati a neighbors against an amazing year old girl and then talking pictures neighborhoods reduced to rubble lives changed forever these are the stories of trauma and loss frozen in time at a new exhibit. and then yours are much like jewel found guilty as bronze feelings he doesn't believe. this but they just we just see the flag. i am sure i've only
