new fishing laws and a new legal framework were not easy but they're confident these changes will stick even if there's a change of leadership we have the corporation work together we do fisherman and all the private sector and n.g.o.s for the good of the country for sustainable of the fishery so just why we think they start to change in the future we can be more sustainable to achieve that goal model and go back to what we have before but those who run smaller fishing operations say the changes cut too deep and not at a point. yellowcard is only for fishing businesses which many source a food from abroad and many explore to other countries for us we have so little for export almost none catches for canned fish of poultry food she hopes that if a new government comes into power there will be changes not undoing all the new laws but those that hurt smaller businesses will be revised so her workers still

so-called yellow vest movement also using clothing to identify themselves as the reports from. a new citizens movement in france created online and now on the streets of paris they call themselves the. red scarves and they say they're fighting back against months of finance and disruption by yellow fest protesters thousands marched through the city to demand an end to the yellow vest blockades and demonstrations they had unity and respect for fraud says democracy and institutions are calling up or drink on us see we're here to sign and there are laws in france and in europe i should be respected and the violence must stop and this the test of the image of france great boy minority of people of course demonstration is right i appreciate the right of the most special will demonstrate . it does not i would say justify violence some people here say they used

to support the yellow fests and many share their concerns over the rising cost of living but they say the weekly scenes of unrest are too much on saturday police and yellow vests demonstrators clashed again in several cities across france since the movement began in november eleven people have been killed and dozens injured. as the red scarves reached by steal a symbol of the french revolution the divisions between the two movements was clear behind those bullies on. the right. least in the past and. not on the steps of the opera house or yellow vis protesters and it's something of a standoff with both sides taking each other. see them. if the movement was really against violence than most yellow vests would approve were not for violence obviously but listening to their slogans and when you look at them it seems more like a pro macro march to me emmanuel mccall has been promoting his national debate initiative

aimed at quelling the yellow vest demonstrations by giving people more of a say in the way that france is run opinion polls suggest the french president is regaining some popularity off to months of low ratings micro hasn't commented on the red scarf movement but he might hope it is a sign that the tide is turning in his favor the tasha butler al-jazeera paris there being more antigovernment protests in sudan's capital of khartoum they coincided with a visit by the president to egypt where he accused the media of exaggerating the extent of the unrest he removed reports now from car too. it's his second visit outside his country in less than a week as to dance president obama bashir faces continuing calls back home to end his thirty year rule and step down calls that started six weeks ago and to which he has remained defiant to heat on the there is a problem in sudan we cannot claim that we don't have

a problem but some media take it out of size and dimension it is an attempt to close what is being called the arab spring in sudan it has the same slogans programmes and requests it also has the same use of social media however the sudanese people have learned the lesson that they have seen what happened in some of the states that went through the so-called arab spring and its negative implications wedding the sudanese people are very alert and will not fall into anyone's trap to destabilize sudan. the demonstrations started in mid december in the city of odds over rising bread crisis it could spread to other parts of the country with thousands taking to the streets demanding that and bashir who's been in power since one thousand eight hundred nine and his rule security forces are accused of using excessive force with bullets and tear gas used to disperse peaceful unarmed for testers. the government says twenty nine have been killed since protests began rights groups say that number is at least fifty with dozens more injured. opposition to bush years rule is not only in the streets some

political parties have lend support to those protesting and on sunday the federal party one of the parties in the national government announced that it's withdrawing its participation in the government becoming the third party to do so since the demonstrations began in the for the. their regime has lost legitimacy and the ability to deal with the political crisis and trust in the regime has been lost we hope that the president steps down and paves the way for an interim government that is agreed on by all sides the protests are seem to be the biggest challenge to bashir since he came to power and some analysts say the ruling party is running out of time to find ways to overcome and. the withdrawal of the federal party today is a sign that the ruling party is weakening so it has to take a step back and find a solution to the wave of protest of wise more political parties will withdraw from the government and join the opposition movements. a movement triggered by an

economic crisis which has become a nationwide call for change and to which there seems to be no end in the horizon going to al-jazeera. thousands of mothers have been protesting in yemen's port city of aden seeking information from the government about their missing sons the women have been demonstrating daily and rallied outside the interior minister's home it's believed most of the men are in detention were captured during the ongoing civil war. under the control of the saudi you backed yemeni government. millions of dollars are being distributed to nearly one hundred thousand families in gaza qatar has donated the money as part of a un deal to help palestinians payments have been delayed by disputes between the israeli government and hamas from. these men have come to collect one hundred dollars each from these post office in gaza city the cash they are

receiving is from the qatari government donated to more than ninety thousand families here but in general one hundred dollars won't solve anything i have eight children we need israel siege to be lifted the crossing is open and the end of political division that's what will solve our problems. the cash is part of a humanitarian program for gaza being led by carter with u.n. assistance but the donation process is far from straightforward under an informal agreement israel in november allowed concerts to begin sending nineteen million dollars to gaza over a six months period the money has to pay the salaries of civil servants and to buy power station fuel as well as humanitarian aid but for almost three weeks the israeli government refused to approve the third installment around fifteen million dollars after an escalation of violence along with gaza israel border when israel finally allowed the money transfer hamas refused to accept it saying these release

a change the conditions of the cash transfer deal was politicizing the issue before is radio elections in april many israeli politicians are against the agreement saying the government is paying what they describe as a terrorist organization to keep quiet promises that it cannot raise sufficient taxes because gaza kaname is so deeply affected by israel's more than ten year and single day meanwhile the united nations is the situation for two million population is made worse by what it describes as international donor fatigue. the un says whether you agree with hamas policies or not humanitarian aid should not be politicized and i appreciate those kinds of arguments but think that we need to keep humanitarian and political concerns separate i think if you start questioning the political motivations of humanitarian aid you will never get anything done.

hamas says with or without clothes money friday protests as buddha will continue until israel lifts seach at least two hundred fifty palestinians have been killed mainly by israeli sniper fire since the demonstration started in march and hundreds of thousands of palestinians like these continue to rely on international humanitarian aid to survive. gaza brazil's president has been admitted to hospital in sao paolo where he's due to undergo surgery on monday both sanaa received life threatening wounds after being stabbed in the stomach while campaigning back in september the operation to remove a colostomy bag and set it off to the attack. even a senate kemal horace's knows to twenty twenty white house campaign with attacks on president told trump's policies she's criticized the administration's separation of thousands of immigrant children from the parents at the southern border paris is presenting itself as the leader who can unite

president trump now today as he made the rounds on the sunday talk show he said that he may consult with his attorneys and he may have a conversation with the special prosecutor what we don't know is what else robert muller may have up his sleeve he may have additional charges that he could bring against roger stone that what might compel him to turn evidence against the president we just don't know at this point we've kind of seen this thing play out over and over again where people close to the president like his attorney michael cohen and his former campaign manager paul man a fourth say that they would not talk and then ended up flipping against the president and we could see that again play out with roger stone now that russia has been marking seventy five years since the nazi siege of leningrad was broken for nearly nine hundred days the former russian capital was cut off people starved to death in the hundreds of thousands as the german army pounded the city with bombs

separation of thousands of immigrant children from their parents at the southern border last year paris is presenting himself as a leader who can unite a divided country. you have to take the headlines here on our jury got more news coming up right after what i want to east. on counting the cost plenty of no shows in damage but lots of talk from leaders there about an economic slowdown what the chinese president said about gray rhinos and black swans boss and the cost of holding the u.s. budget to ransom. counting the cost. in war torn afghanistan. simply going to school can be a privilege. especially if you're

a girl. and. two out of three girls don't attend school this is by billions of dollars in aid spent on education over the last two decades . i'm steve on this episode of what i want to use to reinvestigate why so many of afghanistan's girls are kept outside of the classroom. into the dawn of a new school day across afghanistan and girls from the dash district or neighborhood in west kabul begin making their way to class. pursed a trickle. and soon a steady stream of. by six am the outpouring from the gates. there steve from norwich ready to learn.

it's six am seems early for school and it is and. that's because this is the first of three ships here. it's the only way to accommodate the more than fourteen thousand students from the screen wolf split almost evenly between schools and. over the next week we've been given extremely rare access inside the cia to shahada school to try to understand what life is like for a girl for him to school in afghanistan. the combination is so hard for us in our country. our war problems just. sixteen year old man. has been a student at seattle shahada since grade one over that time she and principal akila tasha cooley have seen the numbers of girls at your school more than ok melissa yes

and show a stroll and though we have. a few buildings here and there. was a student here they get this seven thousand just as just wonder how long. the huge increase in the numbers of feel studying it. is a welcome sign of progress compared to the days when the taliban were in power and girls were forbidden from going to school. but the school's enormous growth has a major consequence too many students and not enough classrooms so we have a few buildings here yet ones are for girls one is simple this. time of movement is saying that that building is from the beis building room for the from the five buildings from the price we are seeing the buildings are all of my all the building

all of the boys are the mice yes. where are the girls that's that i spoke of that yes. we don't have a classroom. we don't have buildings and that's just for our parents all i'm doing is the buildings are trying to buy if we don't have any building. how many classes in three times we are more than four feet what it cost us for it to come in times a day free time when they. really get is ok just go hard to be on the bus what language you want. now you're. getting. there is only one high school in this neighborhood which is why the girls come prong far away from all the

population is growing and day by day the girls come knocking on our door to be enrolled we cannot tell them no joint. and we have to accept them but we don't have enough space and that's why we have problems. the. lack of infrastructure is only one of many reasons why so many afghan girls are out of school. in fact no one actually knows how many girls are in school not even the afghan government the ministry of education is not sure how many students are there is it eleven million or is it seven point two million is it eight million nobody knows exactly how many students are there. that's just one of several findings of

a recent independent review on corruption within the ministry of education released late last year the results made headlines across the country it found widespread corruption throughout the education system ministry. of bashar is the former director of afghanistan's anti corruption watchdog and author of the report after spending billions and billions of taught in the last sixteen years. we have not been able actually to have any kind of building for most of the schools our finding shows that. the treaty money was taken in cash to remote parts of afghanistan by the trustees and we had information that the money did not make the right people. had siad all shahada there aren't even enough classrooms for the boys. many classes are held in the hallways or in stairwells wherever

a teacher came from space. the only place you won't find boys attending classes is in a tent or out in the open with the girls in the past living area where together by some girls we didn't first through lack of that class is ok we had enough classes here but right now we have too much people we have too much a student here because of this there is no play is. recognizing the desperate need at the school japanese donors built to need buildings five years ago so girls would have their own classrooms. at the school shura the community leaders decided to give those buildings to the people. in this school is the blanks to ask girls because when for an answer coming we were under the sun we were under the rain bad therefore and i was next one did the school's frazz but right now is this by says i

don't know why you feel angry about. the angry yes because in the past the three are when they are coming so they will think about us as about about the gears but right now it's the my school i don't know why and it's right makes me really angry that's why i always the right of the girls are like. improving education especially for girls is a well known objective for international donors principal akila says the local community gave the buildings to the boys thinking. that donors would come back to build more classrooms for the girls. the honey. what if. people think n.g.o.s come here to work only for girls so the community decided the bolling's should be for the boys. i don't know if the school's management or others interview these issues are always decided by the males and the school management.

did the donors ever come back after they built the building. they came once to visit then went back to the raffle. the security situation continues to deteriorate in afghanistan as a result there we feel international donors are able to visit the projects they support so many rely on third party monitors to do that work which according to the anti corruption committee opens yet another avenue for corruption we've found that the school monitors and instead of doing proper monitoring off the quality of education. they have been working for themselves you know to go to some of the school to kind of harass the teachers in this great inspiration get money from them and then to their evaluation once they were happy we had an exam or. a school that

we were working with them but actually on which has a thousand kids on the register actually when we went in there there were twelve kids coming to school. in kaplan is a researcher who contributed to the anticorruption report as an education specialist he works with the norwegian and geo providing support for schools throughout afghanistan including this school for the deaf and carbon using sign language which. kaplan says he's fortunate to be able to visit the projects and geo supports it's often kind of difficult for donors to be able to do that because of security concerns but also sometimes it's not always the interest to go out and follow up on these things and to go out and visit so it doesn't happen very often i think i mean you get a feeling for something in a way that you don't if you're sitting behind a desk you know you see people and you see them engaging in learning and i mean for me that's the reason to be here but without that i would just lose the feeling for

it i think altogether but he says lack of donor access and oversight is only one of the issues affecting girls' education in afghanistan while girls of lacking so much more than boys when it comes to education well i think you know at least in the past there had been just much more focus on just getting anyone in the school first and then it was easier to get boys into school and. you know and also just because of gender you know that the more attention has been focused on boys than girls generally see india is a country that's leaving all this like saying that they are not that there's not that there's all this saying that this. is the top. levels of the afghan government and the international community deal with the findings of the anti corruption report the staff and the girls that say it all shot up face more immediate issues. the first shift of the school day from six am to ten am

is almost over and while four hours might seem a little light on school times it may be a blessing in disguise because any longer on the girls may happen is to play with. the trash talk a new car bomb we have seven thousand go but both male and female students have to use the same time and such. we tell them during the summer he's doing it before coming to school. have you ever gone to the toilet in your school yes i was seven years old. or when to call and. it's a will but situation. the biggest car would you. go to the bar. first.

impulse was through with this. poor working conditions in most schools make it more difficult to attract female teachers yet there.
