southern sahara desert that's been hit hard by years of conflict and lack of facilities nicholas has more from the capital. money and refugees too are wearing the yellow vest more than a sign of protest against the french government it's a symbol of despair or like they say in france six years since the french military intervention in northern mali and a combined twenty five thousand soldiers on the ground these two are examined the house still cannot go home. there's no peace there are agreements but the wall continues and we the people that trash and how can we keep living like this there are the five presidents of the g five so how they've sent a joint military force in another bid to regain control of an area mostly in the hands of rebel groups. we need to reinforce the trust of the people of the sahil in their institutions to help us put words into action help us with our g five development plan. and so one after the other international donors announced their

contribution funds that will go to development projects such as solar and wind energy a new railway line roads airports and even a new g five saheli airline. at stake is the stability of a region as big as the united states where most of the one hundred million people don't have access to electricity or water or a hospital or school to go to. the european union it wants to stop the flow of illegal migration to their continent they are one of the largest contributors we need to do something special because the situation in the center of money for example it's really difficult for the time being. the extra nice to know it's reaching the king of france so it's important too to afford to do this straight a fix for me. is continuing in the future of. but can those leading military

operation in this the hell also be the ones bringing peace not to these two aren't refugees winning hearts and minds who will not be easy while the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate so much money has been raised in the name of the people of the sahara and yet they have so far so little of it nicholas hawk al jazeera shot presidential candidates are rallying supporters across the democratic republic of congo ahead of this month's election twenty men and one woman are competing to succeed joseph kabila the latest ebola disease outbreak and security problems are among the biggest issues on voters' minds. that it. depends on the responsibility off everyone who support the candidate and a lot of people are probably and you can see how enthusiastic we are. in completely we are very happy because the leaders came today they've been forced to stop every

a soaking wet tent and she misses home. today is my mother's birthday i've been sad since this morning we've never been apart we only had rice and beans but we were happy i've been sad all day at night i wake up and think that i'm home but i'm not i'm here. to when i was supposed to be a transit point but has access to the us is becoming more difficult many of these asylum seekers are opting to start a new life in mexico instead feeling really who is also from honduras a country with one of the highest poverty rates in the world and which is also one of the most violent she left her sick daughter behind and wants to join her sister in minnesota to earn money to pay for treatment. she has leukemia and she needs chemotherapy i have to find a job quickly for her sake we can't get into we will have to wait here many people say you can get through the beach or other points but i don't want to risk it i

will loose too much and i have to get a job soon. making money is a pressing issue after more than two months on the road cash has run out for most the vast majority of people here would tell you that the want to go back to their own country because this is actually better than being at home but with every day that passes that sense of hope is fading away and this fear is sinking in. to help alleviate the situation mexico has offered to thousands of central americans stranded along its northern border the option of staying in mexico with either humanitarian visa or access to a speedy asylum process. pictures traveled with his pregnant. life and two children he wants to reach the u.s. before his wife gives birth in three weeks even though the trumpet ministration wants to put an end to what it calls anchor babies. it's not as easy as we thought it's not like the doors are open and you get in you have to wait be patient and

then when you least expect it you will get there many were here yesterday and today they called and told they were through. there only tough choices ahead for the thousands of asylum seekers stuck between a rock and a hard place their presence at the border symbolic of an america becoming more and more detached from its past as a country of immigration but at that how many. coming up next. the histon rockets and.

david chaytor has the latest from paris. it's the students that have been marching during the course of the day in paris they're adding a new dimension and a new momentum to be fast rebellion but the viral video of how the police treated student demonstrators. yesterday at north of paris has actually added to the anger and the resentment at police tactics and it's forced the interior minister to issue an explanation let's hear what he had to say about that video that will soon make those reading the pictures of the young people in recent months literally hard to watch if you want to say it but i think it's important to put them into context there is truth there is contrary and there is also exploitation by some people expect this truth of sort of so the students here will be taking part in the demonstrations on saturday they're demonstrating

particularly about education reforms making the baccalaureate which students have to take before going to university a bit tough and high school students have also been involved right across the country as we know but. the president emanuel michel has said that he will not be meeting any of the yellow best representatives and the students to want to make their voice heard against his reforms let's hear what their opinions are. i think it's it's quite sad because when you when it's has always been a country where we can say with people being gay and going this tweet saying. and demonstrate and. now is my point like that we hold true to demonstrate because. police police officers are very. very likely to encounter and if they can say

they are very very high and they they they were not before but they can be violent for it. not. hello again it's good to have you back all this hour we are going to start here in central asia some very heavy rain is on the way here across parts of vietnam over the next few days and that could potentially bring some localized flooding for some of those areas up towards central china well the rain is on the increase for you as well as well as snow up here towards the north hong kong clouds in your forecast here on saturday but we do think the temperatures are going to be coming down as well as rain in your forecast by the time we get towards sunday and rain for many locations picked me up here towards the east as well as for portions of taiwan well across parts of india bad for much of the area what we are going to be watching is here in the bamidele a lot of clouds here and the potential of a tropical storm that could make its way towards the north by the time we get

towards next week we'll be watching that very carefully but what that is going to be doing is bring some more clouds and rain particularly down here towards the south for sure is going to be the rain down towards the southern portions of india it is going to be the clouds and then very quickly across parts of the middle east we are looking at fairly quiet conditions here temperatures into the mid twenty's so for doha how about twenty seven degrees for you here on saturday over towards dobby just about the same but maybe getting a little bit cooler by the time we get towards sunday but the scot it is going to be a nice day if you with a temperature of twenty eight. when i'm on line for you looking at wildlife and how the solutions come together to benefit all parties involved that's where we're going to have long term success or if you join us on sat if you could take me around the content why would you take me you don't have to set up your experiment and for your experiment in the universe this is a dialogue everyone has a voice you actually raise several interesting points there that several of our

community members are going to join the global conversation amount is iraq. once upon a time the ideal of robots was the symbol of a futuristic world a world in which technology machines would replace human labor to a large extent that world is with us today in the twenty first century but the idea of least to me to machines is much older than you might see during the heyday of a golden age of science between the fourteenth centuries engineers from across the islamic world from the middle east to southern spain built many incredible devices to clocks automatic serving machines and a number of other in of it's of creation it's untrue well to be

a british professor of theoretical physics but born in baghdad i've been researching some of the mechanical wonders of this golden age of science and comparing them to the engineering and technological advances of the modern world. for years we can promise that we'd have robots in our homes carrying out household chores and that hasn't really happened well here's something that might change all that in this lab to developing

a prototype of robots that we might sometime soon have in our kitchens at home. this is the. kitchen a pair of fully computerized mechanical arms set in a purpose built capsule. the arms replicate the movements of a human chef and today the robots cooking the crab beaks. so you can see it moves not like a robot good martial law and it's going to very simple movements you get a robot a very human fluid we're using motion capture we've recorded the movements of a chef's hands while they're cooking a real recipe and then this system will reproduce those movements exactly so in principle it should be exactly as good a cook as a master chef according to the chef is more consistent than a human chef so when

a chef is cooking they called it was good timing is let's have a chance to bring them out to zacharias this is your go is get the same comments around the soles with. the very back of the same drip because it's repeats it's very nice needs the same motions. i mean at the moment you have to have all the ingredients at exactly the right place because of course the robot is operating line business is a blind deaf and not so i can't feel the concept with history. one of the reasons robots have made it into the hardware is how difficult it is. to do with revision complex lots of hartmann's to the plan actually intelligently being able to make decisions like all the solti is not where the right fools are instead to find it recognize it yes and even try to find it hiding behind something all mixed in with things that look similar to the sort of things that we take for granted are very very easy to get sometimes training hard. so we've taken

a much simpler approach to standardize everything in the kitchen and make it a very controlled environment controlled lighting it's defined positions for the greens now we can just run this recipe and it works every single time. the last detail is to have a few drops of truffle oil. ready go. if . ignition a restaurant is cooked by human chef. i guess i would be surprised that enjoy it for some reason i wasn't quite expecting it to taste so nice and i mean this is exactly as a chef would cook it i mean i witnessed a robot making me a very nice fish. of course this robot relies on the very latest technology but what was the state of the art at the beginning of the golden age where we find

our answer in the key target or the book of tricks written around eight fifty eight by the three brothers the book contains a range of ingenious inventions and contraptions everything from entertainment to making life easier things like water dispensing devices a self correcting lamp and lots of different mechanical tools they drew their inspiration from ancient greek chinese persian indian engineering but it's believed that the inventions in the book go much further than anything else that had been seen before. at the museum of islamic can't they've an early copy of the key target in their collection. i'm really excited about this manuscript bill because it's probably one of the most famous texts of the medieval world the original was written in midnight century by the bunny moose

are brothers one was an astronomer one was a mathematician and one was in the other. and they were really the center of scientific life in. the golden age of science the ambassador moon recognized the talents of the brothers from an early age and sent them to study in the house of wisdom in baghdad where great texts were gathered from across the globe and translated into arabic during their time in the house of wisdom they grew an influence and even became patrons of other translators as well as translation they wrote many works of their own. fluting the book of tricks. is called the tablet which literally means the tricks of trickery but they're not tricks in the sense of magic tricks these are contraptions and devices and executive toys is probably the best term for it but i mean it's full of beautiful diagrams showing valves and leavers and give.
