effects of what smoking does between two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen alone we start tripling in use among us high school students and head to head east bay first this conventional secret which one do you think has helped my opinion i think they're both dangerous take no one else is the. most memorable moment of al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowds in tahrir square talking. as. if something happens anywhere in the world al-jazeera is in place we were able to cover muse like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. that is our strength.
6:15 pm

6:16 pm
defending n.b.a. champions a golden state warriors are back to win it away if they beat the trailblazers in portland on saturday. welcome to the program voting in the democratic republic of congo is underway in the long awaited presidential election the vote was supposed to be held more than two years ago but was continuously delayed by president joseph kabila and now his concern is if enough people will turn up my only concern is that we have these very heavy rain. and. the vote might be wrong but for the best value clear on the other top and wimbledon what do you think the critics saying that they don't believe anything they need. because of the. timely but this clear that they shouldn't be unfair annoyer different if you're
6:17 pm
unfair well there are three main candidates emanuel should already is the ruling party's candidate and joseph could be his personal pick mountain for you is from a coalition called move on felix is from the largest opposition party in the run up to the elections has seen violence and voting was postponed in three opposition strongholds which sparked protests in the east. about one point three million people have been excluded from sunday's election and have a chance again in three months people in beni held their own unofficial vote well we have a team of reporters covering the election our correspondent malcolm webb is in one of the poorer neighborhoods of kinshasa and we begin with katherine saw in one of the more affluent areas catherine so lots of controversy over this election with violence and prolonging delays so what's been happening where you are now that the polls are open. well more and more people are
6:18 pm
coming in to vote after that very heavy downpour this morning people here thin they want to express their right that process that has been pretty small people aborting in and two minute that the queues moving very first just about ten minutes ago i mean the queue was very long another thing you know it it's just a trickle now so the process as i said has been very slow people working under two minutes but let me give you some context in there this is gone barrier as you mentioned one of the wealthiest areas here in kinshasa so everything is well organized in this polling station some people are coming in with big expensive cars but enough in a where twelve million people are resident very few can afford daryn to live in a neighborhood like this when the president doesn't leave too far away as well he cast his ballot there are twenty one presidential candidates but the real race is
6:19 pm
between three men. posters of politicians line almost every street in kinshasa there are twenty one presidential candidates on the ballot paper but three stand out. a man also a diary is a ruling party's candidate and outgoing president joseph kabila as a pattern of choice his critics say he's not suitable because he's and the european union sanctions and is not popular but he supporters argue he's best placed for the post very different positions. congress yes. it's was the country's. interest as the people. on interests. this is this is. this martin for you lou has been described as the accidental candidate. he was little known outside and nominated back.
6:20 pm
to prominent and popular politicians. and. who were excluded from the election are backing him i want to give. and i have to have. we have to leave because. every year. at least five million. is the leader of the largest opposition party. he's. inexperienced and only riding on the popularity of his late father the founder of the party. i have more political experience than some of my opponents i joined politics twenty five years ago and i started from the bottle i was just going to lead the party grassroots and succeeded where i am my father's son but also on my own. the
6:21 pm
candidates are promising much the same deal. and corruption provide the basics jobs education health care but an economic strategy to talk to some of those pledges are not realistic maybe. we need to plan ahead this country we need to. at least we know that we will be getting results we don't need to flush out the results we don't need to. give it a color we need to transform the country the election process has been and many people are not confident the paul will be credible but those we talked to say they will vote anyway if been waiting for two years for the opportunity. when the president came here to. share. i think that the president would step down or that there would be an election at
6:22 pm
all so people saying that this is costing the ballot is very significant but other critics of the president also saying that look it doesn't make a difference because he the ruling party candidate emanuel should diary they say is a puppet of the president and should he win the election that then it just means that president kabila will continue running this country through a model show diary or. for that let's cross over now to malcolm webb another polling booth in the capital kinshasa malcolm so you're in a different part of town in one of the poorer neighborhoods tell us what's been happening there. right here in boo polling started with a tarantula rainstorm a lot didn't put some people off who arrived soaking wet just walking around in plastic flip flops walking through mud and puddles to get here since the rain stopped the lines just grown longer and longer people are keen to vote but voting
6:23 pm
isn't taking place in every part of the country as he said three key opposition stronghold benny tembo and you may be been excluded from this vote the electoral commission said that's because i'm in a bowler outbreak and because of conflict opposition supporters and leaders are skeptical about those reasons these strongholds of areas where people support the opposition candidate martin for you and after he placed his vote just a short while ago he spoke about the electoral commission let's hear what he had to say. good to us to. do also have a look to encourage them to vote and to single pulling stations has to happen and people are saying that we are monitoring it and they are having problems. everything is going peacefully. you know beneath the people's. because all of the.
6:24 pm
justices. meanwhile in some other parts of the city in an area called limit the there have been problems people have been able to vote there because voting machines haven't worked also because the lack of a printout of the electoral register for those polling stations now those areas where very many people support. other opposition other key authorization candidate felix just security people there still waiting to vote will find out if they're actually going to be able to cast their vote later today martin complained that because of the exclusions of those three towns that we just. about. failures to deliver on the part of the electoral commission other part of the country he said he thought about five million of congo's forty million electorate won't be able to vote today all right i'll come webb in kinshasa malcolm thank you but it's bring in joseph he's a political analyst and columnist on politics in sub-saharan africa he joins us
6:25 pm
live now from london joseph this is an election that's been delayed for over two years it's been dogged by problems by rising violence and a lack of security and all that against on a boat outbreak i mean it's a miracle that it's even happening. yes in a way yes but of course you could also say that it's been delayed for two years and it has a father delayed for about two months in a critical area which is massively supported by the opposition so in a way it is it is good is happening and you can see the money in which the congolese people in a dynamo there because the bill is voting because a few months ago they didn't know whether or not kabila is going to continue to impose himself on the congolese people but whatever happens i think they're in is that congo is going to have be a new country in two thousand and nineteen is going to be a new country without copula and his father and therefore directly we he's a it backers of the region the seven kg army and so by therefore by extension
6:26 pm
hopefully is going to be an opportunity for congolese to have a new president for the fast time in a different way since independence when one of africa's most famous names but his loom bird the prime minister was assassinated i think whatever happens against all the bad runs i really really hope that. doesn't view of most africans across the globe that in mind this was able to be a congolese leader for all congolese people for the past time ever in the country's history. let's just come back to the here and now for a second joseph because the election commission as you know under fire for announcing that various areas won't be voting on till next year march that means about one point three million people won't be able to vote so how can the selection be seen as free and fair which is what president kabila wants us to believe. daryn that's extremely an important point in part i was actually piling it together because there's so many issues clearly it starts from that very particular point
6:27 pm
that this election cannot necessarily be to be seen to be free and fair and you could argue probably except for. the wind because he's supporting the support base in that area is about eighty percent and election in which that is a substantial difference disenfranchisement you can't really call it a free and fair election but i'm really talking about it within the context of the malays that we face on the continent and particularly in that country but anything five get out of this if they were to bring the country together then that is perhaps a step ahead that is really how low we are starting from because hardly fifteen years ago even the government did not let other ability not know where they would find himself in rwanda or company or really whether or not congo would be overrun by nearly the fast what they call the fast african african world war. ok so away from all of those problems joseph what about ordinary people india see i mean what are the issues that they worry about and what hopes do they have under a new president. the fast and most important is security for all congolese people
6:28 pm
congo costs the lie just peacekeeping force of the un in the world which to me is purely if asked as i said since independence congo has never really seen a leader that has governed for goalies people a ball or easy it big thing in congo and you wonder why it should continue and the congo is the richest country on the african continent with the most know vast in terms of our resources in it on the continent congo has the largest number of women ever repped you know and under reported on thanks to the networks like our desire congo has got the largest number of children walking in mind basically child slave labor in the world today so called has got huge problems and yet as i think us government was saying much earlier on the one hand it is this better rich corner of geishas over a big city but on the other the vast majority of people live in that city extremely poor so anything that creates and
6:29 pm
a sense of stability for polish people because such a privileged country with a tiny little bit of rain just give people in the part of congo six months and they will be able to sustain themselves so it's such an irony such a shame all right said joseph i should we have to leave it there thanks very much indeed for your insights. now polls have just closed in bangladesh's general election and some news just in the election commission is reportedly investigating allegations of vote rigging as security was tight at least four people were killed in election related violence prime minister shake a scene is seeking a third consecutive term in office main rival the former prime minister and leader zia has been jailed for corruption well her party has accused the government of arresting and killing opposition activists human rights groups have also expressed concerns over the accusations but chance transfer joins us live now from the capital dhaka childs what more can you tell us about the election commission's investigation of vote rigging. well certainly those
6:30 pm
lines are consistent with what we're hearing here at this polling station i spoke to. election commission observers here earlier having told a story from one of the opposition electoral voting station monitors who was part of a fourteen member team who. believe the leaders who are associated with the ruling party confiscated their i.d.'s and their alexion papers. they were manhandled as he described rights and forced to leave the premises now representatives from all the various parties are supposed to be here these elections these polling stations to monitor the vote and crucially to monitor all witness the counting of the votes after the polls have closed which they just have so that is an indication certainly of intimidation and it's consistent with this report that we're hearing from the
6:31 pm
election commission that the best occasionally to alleged vote rigging is taking place with respect to while and during election day we're now hearing that at least ten people are reported to be killed in various locations across the country. there's also been calls certainly there have been claims by. opposition voters that we've spoken to here. this voter station saying that. the cost is bad as i said that the ballot has had already been cast for him another man said that she saw all this was wrestled to the ground after he complained that the voting station or voting was actually stopped or an hour at which point he called the police and then i say it was it was hustled out by security from the polling station it has been relatively calm here despite these reports of
6:32 pm
violence around the country let's have a listen to some other coaches after they crossed it about us. they're leaving material i just entered. saying it's going on it's very disciplined there's no problem very nicely by the grace of almighty god i thought i said very proudly. we're going to have a lot of hype in this election because we couldn't vote in the last one but this time we came to voice let's see what happens now. now that the this is happening a month let us i hope that we continue the country need to move toward the prosperity with this help i plan to keep my four. as you can hear there some of the voices of votes is quite a sense of fear you get respect should come of the intimidation that the opposition says that voters have suffered and their candidates the opposition candidates have suffered in the buildup to this elections of course the government saying that
6:33 pm
these big figures the figures that abounded out by the opposition of more than ten thousand people have been arrested or have been explained they're saying that these figures of all of your lives they're also pointing to the fact that they're having to be in the deaths the killings of government supporters in the build up to this election as a state it's been quiet here so only at this polling station polls are closed now we will expect to get certainly indication of exactly how this vote is gone in terms of turnout at least in the coming hour. stratfor there in the bangladeshi capital dhaka charles thank you. all right tell us more so to come here on the news hour including a decisive moment in yemen's war we'll have the latest u.n. cease fire deal in the data. as president promises reform but will it be enough to stop government protests. and sports known as the knockout here with details on the latest. that's also to come.
6:34 pm
parliament is due to vote on its twenty nine thousand budget as the country continues to grapple with antigovernment protests demonstrations over the last eleven days of call for president bashir to step down. with the high price of basic food fuel let's bring in a fendi he's a professor of politics at the doha institute for graduate studies and a former diplomat at the sudanese foreign ministry. we're still waiting actually for the sudanese president omar bashir to talk he's apparently going to address police in the capital khartoum what do we expect him to say and was he talking now . that he is going to repeat the same kind of statement that protest the people i think at this moment they want change. the best thing the government can do to offer meaningful change and i think the minimum will be for
6:35 pm
a bit. and. if you're not going to run into into twenty but i don't. i think. the government has not a good moment. in a few weeks with the protests the protests have shown that. the majority of the people are not happy let's just go back to the demonstrations for a minute because they've now spread to other.
