two yeahs a veggie and the electoral commission as announced the second postponement in a week in three areas. the elections the beni be initially planned for december thirtieth or no program from march twenty ninth and will be subject to a specific calendar. the electoral commission said the three areas would have delayed parliamentary polls and provincial elections in march that means that we can think excluded from the presidential poll that's meant to happen on sunday the electoral commission said the reason was conflicts and then a polar outbreak all three areas a key opposition strongholds. and this is one of the reasons why hundreds of civilians have been killed in a series of massacres around the town of benny in the last four years it's not clear who is behind them the government blames a rebel group called the a.t.f. . or outbreak started in august and spread to the area around benny more than

three hundred people have died. campaign rallies were allowed to take place there. and its opposition candidate martin finally threw the biggest crowds i think this is the people that need change in this country most because they have been wars was a war of choice it is a must feeling seized the kids also want the aborts consulate in this country that was want to change. there are about one point two million voters in the regions that will be excluded many of them support fire leave. congress catholic church which has played a key role in campaigning for democracy they question the decision to do this is that. within this is a dangerous decision and also we don't see a clear motivation for it why did they not decide this during the campaign when people were more exposed why only now i think there is a hidden agenda behind it. and

there we've got a lot of showers over the southeast in parts of asia at the moment plenty of them over borneo currently i watch for this blob of cloud here just to east of the philippines this is

a tropical depression so the winds on too strong but it is giving us some heavy rain and rain is certainly going to be a problem force as we head through the next few days so that system crossing us as we head through friday that eventually staggering its way towards the west on saturday still giving very very heavy downpours so there is likely to be a problem with flooding here over the next day or say the showers towards the west are also rather enhanced as we head through the day on saturday so for some of us in the southern parts of vietnam it's also looking pretty wet and then stretches out three thailand say many of us here looking at a very sober day not a great deal of what weather though across australia here instead heat is the main problem you can see this very dark area of red stretching from northwest down towards the southeast here on our temperature chart that's where the hottest weather is that really very hot for us in adelaide temperatures nearly forty degrees there and the air quality has dropped off thanks to that very hot weather and the dusty conditions that we're seeing force in perth is a bit different here

a change of the winds will give us a far fresher day as we head into saturday a maximum of twenty three. look the arrival of refugees is debated in european parliament's. but the journey itself is little understood. to syrians document the route that is claimed so many lives searching for sanctuary one people in power on al-jazeera.

watching out to zero let's take a look at the top stories right now has made a surprise visit to iraq the u.s. president and first lady molony a trump met with troops base west of baghdad but it follows criticism over trump's failure to visit troops and overseas combat zones the no go zone near an erupting volcano in indonesia has been widened and the alert level raised experts fear another massive eruption will cause a second tsunami at least four hundred thirty people were killed when a five metre high wave flooded coastal communities on saturday. and the democratic republic of congo the postponement of sunday's presidential election and three opposition strongholds as provoking calls for anti-government protest commission is blaming the delays on the ebola virus and rebel attacks. on the parties forming sudan's ruling coalition is calling for an investigation into the killing of

protesters being awake at anti-government demonstrations the popular congress party says seventeen people were killed after security forces is live ammunition at the protests but rights group amnesty international says at least thirty seven protesters died some sudanese doctors have now started striking while medical students have joined protests calling for regime change. share prices in the united states have made a remarkable recovery two days after suffering their worst ever christmas eve losses the main index on wall street rose more than a thousand points and five percent surge the highest ever single day for the dow jones and investors are main worried about a recession in the world's largest economy as well as donald trump's criticism of the fed central bank and trade war with china. what we're experiencing right now is a is it period of extreme what we call volatility or highs and lows the markets seem so you know you know from very low one day to bounce back the next i

think what's more important is to keep our eyes on the trend. overall the market still is down several thousand points from just levels of just a month ago and to the year both the dow and the s. and p. five hundred off about seven and a half points seven half percent rather so that's a substantial loss of value of course of the year. i think that reflects concerns about the receiver session going forward we know that government spending is going slinking two thousand million team the trade deficit is already rising and the i.m.f. is fugitive is projected to over the next two or three years the u.s. deficit trade deficit could more than nearly double that is nearly double in the next two three years and that don't stupid actors together are going to greatly curtail growth in the united states would be enough to push us into recession economists seem to think that's increasingly likely to happen because border protection has ordered medical checks for every child in custody after

a second autumn olen child died while in its care. ms alonzo died on christmas day hours after being discharged from the hospital he was diagnosed with a cold and fever sleepiness father had been in u.s. border control custody since entering the country a week earlier a seven year old girl died earlier this month after being detained sars eases professor of law and director of the center on security brace and civil rights at rutgers university in the us she explains how gang violence is driving refugees to the border. the estimate is that at least ninety three thousand people have come in two thousand eight hundred as of september thirtieth that was reported by the government that have come seeking asylum from central america and the primary reason is the rampant gang violence and the lack of control by the government the government is unable to protect its citizens from the gang violence and again

violence is actually a result of the one nine hundred ninety six law that the united states passed where it took thousands of gang members in the united states and deported them back to honduras el salvador guatemala where they created two major gains the m.s. thirteen and the eighteenth street gang and these gangs have essentially destroyed those nations and resulted in this mass exodus of refugees any human being any parent across the world that is an unlivable and unacceptable circumstance so fleeing and taking these extraordinary risks of going twenty five hundred miles if not more to the border of the united states to claim asylum is less dangerous than these gang members threats on their lives and the way in which they're being treated in their own country and the other problem is that the police is now either incapable of protecting the people or they are also corrupt and working with the

gangs to ousted egyptian president have appeared and the same court room name of art has testified in the retrial of egypt's first democratically elected leader mohamed morsy over a jail break in the revolution that toppled mubarak seven years ago and a whole has more. egypt's revolution may seem like a long time ago but its consequences are still unfolding as my. mind wanted the whole of the information i'm requested to provide here is related to the trial and what happened before it's such a. information was delivered to me because i was the president as supreme leader of the military forces in a car oh courtroom an extraordinary scene two former presidents adversaries in the events of early two thousand and eleven now appearing on opposite sides of the law the long time ruler hosni mubarak many called him a military dictator was deposed by the revolutionaries he gave evidence against

egypt's first democratically elected leader mohammed morsi morsi who faced a death sentence until it was revoked is being retried on other charges along with fellow muslim brotherhood defendants they're accused of conspiring with foreign groups including hamas and hezbollah to orchestrate a violent jailbreak in the early days of the revolution but it was some say a third president the current leader abdel fattah el-sisi attempting a show of strength here to wield more power you see that he's telling the former president mubarak you must come to court and so we're seeing this power play that sisi signaling to both mubarak and his people that i'm consolidating power and myself i am the eternal power in this state and the level of repression today's unprecedented and the economic situation is even worse the attacks on journalism and freedom of speech and press and civil society egypt is quickly becoming

governor and sisi is a free hand of a counter revolution in two thousand and sixteen egypt's highest appeal court overturned a life sentence handed down to president mohamed morsi ordering a retrial last year mubarak's own conviction on charges of negligence in office was overturned and he was released but it is president el-sisi who now faces the possible outpouring of public anger a stagnating economy and a repressive rule after almost eighty years egypt appears to have come full circle i don't know how al-jazeera. and least from custody a man who is demanding the truth about his son's suspicious death divorce. demonstration and. just a twenty one year old son david was tortured and murdered nine months ago his quest for the truth sparked months of anti-government protests. surgical supplies running out operations and their staff shortages. dire warning about the chaos in some

over the region it can be as fix we can barely walk in here shortages have shut down clinics in smaller regional hospitals so same town this also takes in patients from the broader region of more than a million people with. twelve hundred before the financial crisis of two thousand and eight it is now down to thirteen hundred fifty and at least fifty doctors are urgently needed these trends and personnel and materials reflect the broader cuts in government health care. in just the past three years it has fallen from seven billion dollars to four point two billion that means greece is spending less than ten percent of its budget on health care the european union averages over fifteen percent it's driven many who can afford it into private health care. where only here for financial reasons of course national health doctors are more experienced than private sector doctors but from the moment you arrive here you're tied up for

hours patients get wary there are lots of people in line the dedication of the doctors and nurses who remain in the public sector has been rewarded with a forty percent pay cuts during the crisis and no government has tightened health spending more than that controlled by the city's a party which has made a point of producing even the highest surpluses than creditors demand with which to repay the country's debt next year's budget contains a further reduction in salaries for hospital staff a move which will anger many jobs are open but that are. american interests at play has become the first person to across antarctica alone braving raging winds or temperatures and heavy snow fall colorado brady made a final thirty two hour push one hundred twenty nine kilometers to complete this track this is on wednesday the thirty three year old from portland hauled one hundred seventy kilograms here a distance of fifteen hundred kilometers or nearly two months and shaving the

and administer the project. coordinator lydia says women have another key skill that's allowed the program to thrive and. i think that when women make decisions they seek consensus with this breed he helped us during the start of the project and that helps us keep the support of the community the weaving tradition is strong incentive. the patterns and colors of textiles are inspired by nature. she says women express their imagination through weaving and they are now able to share their talents on a different scale but i'm. for me it's special to see our designs on the walls of town and to say it's beautiful and take photographs to remember it it makes me happy to see our traditional embroidery scene this. is attracting more tourists for visitors who've been here before the transformation is clear.

not so many activities. like the city was. like. industries and every few. years. much more respected though. is the first project with kind in guatemala organizers say that once they complete the painting of the eight hundred fifty buildings in this town they plan to expand the project to the other towns around. recently the project won an international design award showing how art can combat poverty and empower a community david mercer al-jazeera center at the. white amala. take a look at the headlines now on al-jazeera has made a surprise visit to iraq the u.s. president and first lady milan you try that with troops it air base as west of

keep it here on al-jazeera much more to come people in power is that next. the marshall islands holds a toxic legacy from years of u.s. military nuclear testing. as the sea levels rise one on one east investigates the threats this fall posers on al-jazeera. it's become one of the defining things of all times a tidal wave of humanity in search of sanctuary from war repression or poverty in recent years millions have taken to the road in the hope that safety and a better life while sway some manage it some don't but almost every journey is a tale of hardship insurance and great risk over consecutive episodes where telling

one such story as seen through the eyes of those who made it. in. some way and southeastern europe and the summer of two thousand and fifteen. modern day refugees on the march in. fact it was you that. did out

as from concha hoon and west in syria he's filming his journey. he's joined forces with a can patrick. georges. out here on the road where anything can happen they've learned to watch each other's backs. i know that but i'm stunned that in the midst of a dumb wave that i can recognize you know. like so many others did out on me lad stories began back in twenty eleven when syrian president bashar assad sent in troops to crush protests against his regime. the uprising that followed triggered the worst refugee crisis since the second world war. since then eleven million syrians half of the country's population have been displaced. in twenty fifteen alone four million were on the move. the majority sought safety in

neighboring countries. a war most of that can go ahead. also listen almost or even a comment that you like and what is he really other than. an economics student at aleppo university did art had been arrested during the uprising and thrown in jail on his release he'd fled over the border that he proposed to his fiance. by bugs always a. sad and you know. that and why the choice why. handedness or do. any sort of a kid will see on the wrong foot or. suffer. in the middle of it by then. so on the

twenty second of may twenty fifteen did our joint thousands of others on a long journey searching for sanctuary in europe. if he made it he could meet up with his wife who dorothy going to head by another route. and four hadn't of the. non dissolve the. yet it is a power on all. george us was a literature student from northeastern syria when he ended on a mat in the takesh put it ismy had they stablished an immediate bond you know i know. there was obviously there are some of the most. inuktitut i said. we lost them last out and ok a bit out of them when i said if you got them of the club. after days of making discreet inquiries the pentagon sheeted a deal with

a people smuggler to take them across the sea. or so not a mic on. the helm of the jamal mess that the lawful called it. is the name combat boots they were led always be comforted us when jimmy wanted out of a sauce. could long. mix in. the fully and when. i'm. in the my. gun i'm use of. though the waters were calm that fear wasn't misplaced

over three thousand seven hundred refugees were to drown in mediterranean crossings that almost a thousand of them and the eastern sea is through which that pass. this time they were lucky within a few hours that overloaded boat came within sight of chaos a greek island. i would like a few of the knee. not just the last. white house. plan a few one hundred. and one measuring. by

the early summer of twenty fifteen more than one hundred thousand refugees had arrived by small boats in greece and the government was struggling with the influx of gump. but after three days in the camp they managed to obtain documents which allowed

them to move illegally around greek territory. then what i had is the them i had. the balkan route as it was becoming known went from greece through macedonia serbia and hungary eventually leading to austria and germany the most popular target for asylum seekers. by the middle of twenty fifteen the flood of syrian and iraqi refugees into europe meant anti migrant sentiment in some countries was hardening. but germany under chancellor merkel was bucking the trend and its supporters remained. a safe haven back and only providing refugees could reach it. now. there are only.

one of. me. but by mixing one of. how do you get more do dips oreo the oldest yes you would. listen to. the fia and he doesn't quote me on you as with the amish i have yet. to overlook that only gonna be fillin here and. so my son will be. going. still. good to hear you scream. johnny in the. spirit she.

should. listen to the show me. good today you may go. on to talk. northern greece some twenty five kilometers from macedonia a small group forge ahead the first hurdle crossing the border. holding in common with as indian a little gun in my thought. but. you know how.

they use railway tracks and their g.p.s. phones for a guide to. reaching the buddha crossing in the dead of night. breaks revealing the beautiful countryside. in the darkness the group had made it into macedonia. now they set off

north again towards the serbian buddha. and then she'd been. how many on a bottle. did come through was that. as the refugee crisis escalated that some politicians in the balkans and the rest of europe was slow to appreciate its sheer scale. tens of thousands of people will have to without cash or assistance left to sleep and hedge rows and open fields.

before that only can a few dunja can i mean a machine and a mother develop the convention to do forty on your article that goes for. me. myself in or of me. i'm hot i thought how one. who was so not a head would sort of be an. adult. are you do you think. you get. to get through. your day thank you very much. wanted to.

do the work. right. so it's. but after taking a look around the station did or a surprise to find a group of refugees sleeping rough behind the platforms soon it becomes clear why they are there. just to pick it up in an. intimate. duffy the sort of that even shocked that the family. instead.

something that if you see out there already. it lobbed at our look at our camp. with. the. noise that there was was a lot of. them but.

for the next two days and nights they are stuck at the station hoping in vain that the macedonian police will allow them to board a train. wreck in. the short and perfect victim she. there's nothing with you that not got any gun or you do. you. know. if. there was. it's. going to be because. this

fact. was. nothing at all a matter of me being a i mean i'm standing. on. the thought that i never left and nothing. when i look back on. the other hand. the have. all when you're older and a part of up on that committee and. my duty obviously someone like me heading. toward

a party can the mob clean we can sit down it's an exceedingly day. the. standard. offer to study. yannick a phenomenon being. thank you. the hostility of whole of russia has gone too far with all of. the media. who should be doing a. job again. they cycle in the rain and at night. until after two days on the road they find refuge at a mosque in the north of the country. because we had the german

or the one we had. the. deaf in us come out at the american little in a slum visual. of the milky way. i think. then to their surprise a local man off is the right to a city on the other side of the serbian border. behind them all of no. escape. not up square or the hoped for in the goods the hosts you begin to meet you will over toss them a layman. and i'm going she mused. so. they want to walk you know wanted.

as they get close to the buddha the enjoyed by hundreds of other refugees. if. the guy didn't even. really. believe. but soon enough another problem is exactly what they face in the grounds of a local mosque they try and do a deal with albanian smugglers for the next leg of the trip the prices are extortionate and competition between traffickers is famous as the mood turns nasty the smugglers start to fight among themselves.

i'm. sorry. but out. of. our. compassion our. house. got out. in serbia they can at least use public transport but as night fools they realize that's not the end of their troubles. my. son my. daughter was.

going to shake sort of. going on. i did go on doing thank. you. very very much. i. would love. to be moral the story in virginia to be more troops will be. remembered to look what i. think of the phone book and don't want that to feel be your loss and loss that we're going to. put forth of. why didn't they come and feeble or good out of the. do nothing doc and. us out the number who had. been.

finding it impossible to find shelter in belgrade mullard and didn't take a train to sabean's northern city of supported some twenty five kilometers from the hungary in buda i do anything. but since about it they face the same problem no one will let them room. finally a taxi driver agrees to take them to a hostel in the suburbs for a price come say or a. welcome. any sort of assassinate the setting up an apartment. such as he lost in a hotel room my lad could go online and search for another people smuggler. treat. her.

her. true critics get. the things going wrong and yes it's. just so. often conduct or. sort of you there and there's a lot of money. or that they don't she'd know you're about to show us what you did she did give me some of that the i'm often the love if you don't know where it was up tonight is a few blocks of my feet. where you would have to go. to the war zone. after weeks of exhausting nonstop travelling by sea and land durai have covered over a thousand kilometers but with hundreds more to go and several borders still to

cross will they ever make it to germany in the next episode i made tussles with smugglers police and even a t.v. crew they come face to face with the whole show realities of life as a refugee. at the end of the book the arrival of refugees is debated in european parliament's. but the journey itself is little understood. to syrians document the route that has claimed so many lives such in the sanctuary to people in power on al-jazeera. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going

places together. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together step into the unknown with central america's first ever. production by actors with down

syndrome. a life journey. on stage. performer transformed with the raise of a. witness to love. this is. coming up in the next. sixty minutes our presence in syria was not open ended and

was never intended to be permanent u.s. president donald trump defends his decision to withdraw our forces from syria as he meets troops in iraq. in the major steps up the alert level for the krakatoa volcano some army. killed four hundred thirty people. simmering discontent and democratic republic of congo up to some opposition strongholds are excluded from voting in sunday's presidential election. and give me your weapons the u.s. city of baltimore is offering tax for alms but what it solve the problem of gun violence. welcome to the program u.s. troops in iraq and germany have had surprise visits from donald trump the us president stopped at ramstein air base in germany for his growing criticism of his failure to visit troops deployed overseas while trump stayed for just three hours

in iraq thanking soldiers and defending his decision to withdraw troops from syria iraq's prime minister didn't meet trump because of what these office described as disagreements rubber analysts reports from washington d.c. . president donald trump got a warm welcome from u.s. troops during his brief visit to iraq. we came to our list this year our eternal gratitude for everything you do to keep america safe strong and free. accompanied by first lady maloney a trump the president shook hands with service members at an air base one hundred sixty kilometers from baghdad he posed for selfies and signed autographs including one on a make america great again campaign cap he bragged about the defeat of eisel on his way. watch two years ago when i became president there were

a very dominant group they were very dominant today they're not so dominant anymore the visit came amid continuing fallout from trump's abrupt decision to pull out all u.s. forces from syria our presence in syria was not open ended and was never intended to be permanent trump said the withdrawal from syria would be strong deliberate and orderly he also met with military commanders i think it's an opportunity for him to explain to his generals on the ground and the troops on the ground what the syria withdrawal means and most importantly hear from those generals how they plan to execute that withdrawal trump said the u.s. has no plans at all to pull out of iraq. a day earlier during a phone call with the commander of the air base in qatar trump asked about the ongoing blockade of qatar by saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

together with egypt and bahrain so how are they doing it cutter how are they doing getting together with saudi arabia and u.a.e. you know we don't track in a certainly the political followings of saudi arabian u.a.e. with regards to carter but i will tell you they're fantastic comics this is trump's first visit to u.s. troops in a conflict zone during his twenty three months in office the visit is likely to quell critics who say he should have followed the example of his predecessors presidents bush and obama who visited troops in harm's way earlier in their terms rob reynolds al jazeera washington well let's bring in ahmed or n he's a minute traffic is on list and joins us live now from tel aviv i met lauren present from some of the adamant that u.s. troops will be pulled out of syria but the troops will remain in iraq do you think we're any closer to understanding what exactly u.s. foreign policy is when it comes to u.s.

military commitment in the region. well it's very simple and candid the trump said it all along good during the election campaign the only surprise is that for the first two years of tenure he didn't make good on beast brahmas but he's america first no one would call it fortress america vision for calling home all the troops. as fast as possible this was a powerful big game now obviously allies around the region are uneasy because of the sadness because of the election of course the nation the lack of staff work within the administration do you resignation of both secretary of defense matters and. presidential me sorry mcguirk there is reason for concern

regarding be erratic. functioning of the administration but the south shouldn't have come as a survey you know there in tel aviv so let me ask you a question about israel i mean the israelis carried out air strikes against what they say were iranian targets in syria yesterday but israel must be concerned that i lack of u.s. military assets leaves iran and hezbollah are free to expand their influence in syria. that's true up to a point because the american presence was mostly east of the you fret the river not closer to where the israelis are clashing with the iranian quds force always has well up there is the town if area which is of course adjacent to jordan which is of more concern because this has blocked the lender route from iran through iraq to syria and lebanon but israel has always counted on itself as strong himself mentioned. to act in self-defense it

is backed by american security assistance to. four billion dollars a year diplomatic assistance but he doesn't need american troops in the region you talk about regional players being worried i mean where does this leave the kurds at this syria democratic forces i mean this will please the turkish president who wants the kurds out but they'll feel compete in let down abandoned by trump surprise decisions. indeed they should because the american turkish relationship has known its ups and downs right now they seem to have a reprimand and the kids are playing paying the price as they of course did in one thousand seventy five when saddam hussein and the shah signed their own agreement regarding the shuttle because it's having no land of their own always paid

a price but they also are not unified and we all remember that in september of twenty seventeen the americans begged him to back off from their idea of striving for independence they were badly beaten in iraq of course but yes the cuts are on the road i mean a final thought to you so when u.s. troops do leave syria do you think it's likely to reenergize isolates many of the key players on the ground seem to think i mean is i selected to regroup in a vacuum left by the u.s. military yes i still could of course remind event of trends for me from a frozen in any way i do or virtually in many terror acts inspired by headquarters or i on the ground it's a real concern all right i'm going to and thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera now the no go zone in an erupting volcano in the nation has been widened

and the alert level raised experts fear another massive eruption will cause a second son up me at least four hundred thirty people were killed in a five metre high wave flooded coastal communities on saturday airline pilots are being warned to stay well away from the ash cloud above the and krakatoa volcano right reports the district of la a couple of kilometers inland from the damaged coastline of north west java island . in any synonymy the natural instinct is to seek higher ground and also shelter and effectively that's what's happened here at this school in level one district it's gradually become home to around three hundred people gravitating in the days since the tsunami from communities on the shoreline many of them fishing communities but these are people who have now largely lost their fishing boats some of them of lost their homes i many of them say they're just too afraid for the moment at least to go back to the coast. they are mostly fisherman they can go to

sea because their boats are gone so they can make a living it's only a few metres above sea level but that's enough to provide peace of mind for the thousands of people who've moved into locations around here that are quickly gaining a sense of semi permanence. yeah i don't know how long they're going to stay here we haven't been back to see the condition of our homes because we're still afraid and no one's going to be taking any comfort from the latest news but the warning level krakatau has just been raised. well in the news no authority has had their own system to determine the alert level level one is normal meaning while the volcano is active an eruption is unlikely to occur in the immediate future level is raised to two when seismic activity increases and there are visual changes around the crater still at this point an eruption isn't expected three is the current level for. the volcano responsible for saturday's synonymy this point an eruption

is possible within a fortnight and four is the highest level based on observation data analysis the earlier volcanic activity will more than likely be followed by a main eruption within twenty four hours we'll have a hamleys of okinawa just at macquarie university in sydney she says the area around the sun distrait is susceptible to increased activity. this is all started because i am who go eruption happened in eight hundred eighty jury which was one of the largest and in recorded history in terms of it was a large explosive volcano eruption at crack a tire made a big hole called the caldera nest since then and that crack a tower which is the child of krakatoa which is what we see now is the volcano that has grown up steadily and since the one nine hundred twenty s. became a who're but because it's been built on the edge of the cliff a big hole or caldera is kind of susceptible or the potential is for it to collapse

and part of that to fall back into down that cliff or down landslides part of the volcano or or parts underneath the water and that's what is apparent that's happened so from satellite images taken prior to the tsunami and post this nami it looks like part of the volcano or this side of the edifice is now gone so it looks like we have had some sort of instability part of the volcano has now a collapsed into the water that's what caused the tsunami reaching the mainland in iran and indonesia and sunda strait and now what we're seeing is increased activity in bulk and captivity at the island largely because part of that island is gone what that does is release pressure on the system underneath so it can make it easier for the molten rock or magma to come to the surface and also it's interacting with the seawater which creates more explosive eruptions if you imagine putting up cooking oil into a coal plant of water where you're going to get quite an explosive reaction.
