more in rural communities like. many of the menfolk of happy does village of to get seasonal work in farming which accounts for forty percent of all jobs and nearly twenty percent of g.d.p. . but moroccan agriculture is volatile only eighteen percent of the country is arab and disprove variable weather conditions adding to these people's vulnerability and insecurity. after. an image that. i. love. that i see. so so.

oh let the record to good luck. survive. when i'm in no way forward so. this is. where. well i think. there would be a house and was mccain i will miss you i was in a way. for

tim and her children have a long walk to the nearest primary school after breakfast not surprising in a mountain area. the moroccan government does support education and women's rights but the biggest challenge in the national fight against poverty is how to reduce the high levels of illiteracy. in some rural areas one group or suggested that as many as eighty three percent of women are illiterate few girls in the villages of the atlas mountains are able to continue their education beyond primary school secondary schools are usually several kilometers away and parents can't afford the travel expenses. or they're in larger towns and they can't afford to pay for lodgings as well as being too mistrustful of the accommodation facilities to allow their daughters to stay away from home charities have now started to build boarding

houses for female students aged between twelve and eighteen they gets meals access to computers and the volunteers supporting them to look after them giving some girls the chance of secondary education and. was not lucky enough to benefit from such a scheme but i'm not going to says there was a quote here. what a new one i'm a bit of mom less of. the kind of market i think that. that everywhere on the course share a lot of. what a new democrat on circus is that arises they could get admitted they were unsuccessful so let us check will see very good.

like that. in a day when you left. on the other end of that i would rather than let everything of . them. comes around. i like. to be educated and. he's mckinney she. says she met him in the us again mccain says she was like officially it was eleven just it was the second shift of the law to make a difference. she so i think that i came she gave them to kind of limit to how sentimental that mattered she said because given the huge because. my

you. want. to. read and some parts. of her i'm sure it forms. a sheet here this is never was big day this is with his mother fatima. in islam creetown can be done at almost any time in the boy's early life and the timing varies from family to family as well as across different countries in the muslim world. and. the celebration starts in the morning with all the women of the village present. food is

important of course as is traditional and chanting along with its shrill high pitched. two powerful forces behind these atlas mountain communities together. their shared m a z of language and culture going back centuries typified by rites of passage like this village white family celebration for now. and they're extraordinarily resilient women.

that. way. that. the women are the rock on which these communities are built but this way of life is precarious and the question has to be asked as to how sustainable it is into the third decade of the twenty first century. education could improve their standard of living lift families and mikey's out of poverty and stop them from falling back into the act. as n.g.o.s working in the atlas have sent children like maybe students need to acquire

skills that's might ultimately take them out of their communities. but only by doing so and they break the cycle of the clocks these women into such an unforgiving way of life. and enable them to become productive members of the workforce and moroccan society as a whole. the canadian one can finish sure that us. little better than i was then cancer was that kind of life that's a designation or is what doesn't get your vision is that well that they're going to they're going to. get ahead and have run out and not given up on your ass jensen gentlemen are going to be developed less and didn't have. that. pressure does it have. a shadow that you know as

to be seeing some rain here across parts of turkey as well as some snow in the higher elevations so for aleppo you could be getting some of those showers as well with the time to there of about sixteen degrees baghdad about twenty quid city about twenty two degrees there as we go toward saturday really seeing some more clouds across much of central iraq into iran with tehran seeing a cloudy day for you at about twelve degrees there well over the last twenty four to forty eight hours we did see a lot of clouds pushing through parts of northern saudi arabia flooding was a problem across much of that area now we're back to those very warm temperatures across the region with riyadh seeing temperature a few of about thirty degrees there on friday as we go towards saturday well we are going to see the possibility of a rain shower coming here across parts of doha with the term for us at about twenty eight degrees and then very quickly as make our way down across parts of southern africa we are going to be seeing more rain across much of the area it had been dry but now we're going to see anywhere from german down here towards cape town it could be a spotty shower to on friday and as we go toward saturday pretty much more of the

same temper in durban about thirty and down here towards cape town it is going to be a mostly cloudy day with a temperature of twenty four. my name is joseph gemma california from a new york every so often did it. because of. my money but still everybody has one. so that's how i came to bear.

but we had to go bust city center at least to get ahead begin for not just walking. in the lead in a two meter that depletes we. were the. last. bit up in fact towards detecting to me it's just sad. sometimes they succeed and my friend it's not having something i want to show them . in each. hand. and it isn't poor little bit people. it. is that got you in atlanta.

tonight. well i think one of our biggest strengths is that we talk to normal everyday people we get them to tell stories and doing that really reveals the truth people are still gathered outside these gates waiting for any information most of them don't know whether their loved ones are alive or dead or miami really is a place where two worlds me we can get to washington d.c. in two hours we can get it on jurists in the rest of central america at about the same time but more importantly is where those two cultures north and south america meet so it's to teach to a very important place for al-jazeera to be and we're heading to the place so deep in the true real amazon it's taken us two days on this boat just to get there from the search current dangerous macaws techno looks at what is being done to protect one of the region's most iconic creatures of our disappearing because legal pad changed with the looming face it just wanted to see if reintroduction of mikhail's

was a viable option to save some of these population pretty good. techno on al-jazeera . and monday put it on the. u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to for the dry river beds like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country have been truly unable to escape the war. we have tremendous progress. the u.s. president says he's hopeful of a deal with china to avert a trade war. this

is out there alive and also coming up forty years on iran marks says revolution and the return of the ayatollah supreme leader. there's well a self-proclaimed resident says his family is under threat the government makes arrests over alleged plot to overthrow in the dora. and a new report accuses me and miles government of criminalizing freedom of speech. this is one month until u.s. tariffs on chinese goods will be hiked to twenty five percent if the world's two largest economies can't reach a trade deal but sides say progress was made during two days of negotiations in washington president trump insists nothing will be finalized until he meets as chinese counterparts paying. more we have made tremendous progress they both want

to deal but there's still a lot of ground to cover u.s. president donald trump has been meeting china's vice premier in the oval office he delivered a letter from his boss chinese president xi jinping the topic the on going trade war between the two over both economy hope it would be good if you have been sitting around the table in washington this week trying to thrash out an agreement but after days of talks don't trump is uncertain there's a deal to be done this is going to scold you actually going to be a very big deal or it's going to be a deal that will just postpone for a little while but we've been dealing with china we've had a great relationship i have a great relationship with president xi. the u.s. wants china to buy more american goods and to change the rules of doing business. in china where american companies have to peer with local companies and hand over to treat secrets and intellectual property and good at a growing trade deficit the trumpet ministration introduced ten percent tyros on

billions of dollars of chinese goods coming into the u.s. that will kick up to twenty five percent if there's no deal by march but he the chinese have retaliated with kind of serve their own the president says any final agreement will be hammered out with him and his chinese counterpart it's a lot of work because this is a very comprehensive deal this is it what we're talking about you know they're going to buy some corn and that's going to be no they're going to buy corn hopefully they can buy the lots of corn and lots of weak lots of everything else that we have but they're also talking heavy technology heavy manufacturing financial services and everything in the united states and china of the world's two biggest economies there's pressure on both to reach a deal share because of the impact it's having on their own countries and the international monetary fund says an extended trade war will be bad for global economies alan fischer al jazeera washington well jim brown has the latest now from beijing. well president donald trump needs a deal because he wants to try to reassure jittery stock markets president xi

jinping wants a deal because he has a number of serious economic problems right now these haven't necessarily been caused by the trade war but they are making things worse economic growth is now down to just six point six percent that's more than half what it was twelve years ago manufacturing output is continuing to contract and also consumer spending is starting to flatline this is worrying china's president he recently addressed a gathering of party officials saying that the government needed to mitigate for risks in china's economy in the years and months ahead and the fact this seminar lasted for four days is a measure of just how seriously president she views the current situation china has been trying to show it is sincere about wanting a deal just this week it amended a draft foreign investment law which is basically designed to offer greater protection to foreign intellectual property here in china that has been one of the

sticking points in the negotiations i think it's possible we're going to see a partial deal with china agreeing to buy more agricultural and energy products from the united states but i think there are big outstanding issues that are yet to be resolved particularly over the issue of china being called upon to basically reform its industrial policy president xi jinping wants an economy that's based on five g. technology robotics an artificial intelligence but president donald trump says it's doing all that by cheating. korea has agreed to dismantle two of its military sites and they from the outside inspections as head of an expected summits between donald trump and kim jong un u.s. special envoy for north christi even by again will meet north korean officials next week to discuss the next steps washington has an extensive list of demands on ya including the destruction of all of its iranian enrichment facilities trump is

expected to announce details of the next leaders' summit on shoes day. thousands of iranians have gathered at the straw i'm trying to mark forty years since i'd follow hala home unaids return from exile and one nine hundred seventy nine revolution and the weeks that followed honeys followers to come loyalists of the shah including police and soldiers shell had fed at the height of violent protests against his regime and the pahlavi dynasty samus ravi is live for us now in tehran same talk us through events today. where we're here at the shrine of ayatollah ruhollah khomeini the first supreme leader of the islamic republic of iran and the leader of the revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine that toppled the king and ended centuries of the empire now packed into full meaning. or married into being young and civilians and soldiers and they're all here today to commemorate the forty years to do when many returned

to iran and brought revolution which. by the time artillery khomeini stepped off the plane into one persian king he had campaigned against for years from exile had left the country. the shah of iran was gone never to return and his government back home was about to collapse. over the course of the next ten days. overpowered the loyalists but cementing their control of the country. to this day people stand accused of widespread brutality and extrajudicial killings carried out in the frenzy of revolution but for iranians who supported him it was a time of hope and change every year iranians remember khomeini's triumphant return by retracing his steps. motorcade took him past the monument. renamed freedom tower after the revolution fast forward forty years and the events

of that time that reshaped the region in the world continue to shape iran today. muscling at the car now a member of president hassan rouhani as government became a seminal figure in iranian politics after the revolution she rose to prominence as the public face of iran during the u.s. hostage crisis if the car said fears of an american plan to overthrow khamenei and re-install the shah is why students raided the embassy and took fifty two people hostage the crisis lasted for more than a year in the days before the anniversary of the revolution she reminded people nine hundred seventy nine was a complicated time everything is very shaky. the military is shaky the intelligence of this is shaky and all the signals coming to indicate that there's something going on which might be included time yes. these newly established in a shaky. for people in power the benefits of toppling a corrupt king remain obvious and revolutionaries now leaders continue to paint

pretty pictures of iran's future but for iranians now governed by them those pictures have begun to fade six years old when the revolution happened maria mahmoud honey attended khomeini's rallies with her mother even helped the activist of the time face off with police and soldiers. but she says for many iranians the revolution has come to mean little more than broken promises as more are member young people building trenches making money out of cocktails and even though i was a child i helped them or accompanied my mother to rallies at least back then things were cheap but now i feel pity for the current generation. now what we see every february is iranians in the first eleven days spend the time celebrating the revolution that brought this islamic republic into being we're told

we're in for a week of rallies and the raids and speeches are great. deal of sort of joyful vigorous celebration of an islamic revolution but at the same time while the iran maybe militarily stronger it may be medically more independent from the outside influence internally economically many people we've spoken to say that the revolution has left them with little more than struggle even people who protested against the shah of iran at the time supported for many say they feel left behind in dissolution by how the caretakers of the revolution after them have let people down and allowed dentists struggle in terms of their economic conditions and for many people in iran prosperity is still something that remains very elusive ok i'm saying that many things and us have a reporting there from tehran on the fortieth anniversary of the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution that as well as opposition leader has warned national security forces loyal to president nicolas maduro to stay away from his family.

accuse them of showing up at his apartment twenty month old daughter was at home is the latest sign of rising tensions followings doesn't bind the u.s. to backwind presidency and cinnamon reports from caracas but in the past self put famed interim president hung wide all had finished presenting a planter national recovery had been his way to a central university when he made a personal announcement at this hour by special forces agents are at my home asking for my wife. accompanied by diplomats opposition leaders and the media rushed home residents told us the police agents on two motorcycles had been there but had already left now over the years i ordered a soldier so this country not to intimidate us or poles has remained firm we are speaking of the national plan while they were harassing my family because that's their modus operandi. the u.s.

government has warned of severe consequences should anything happen to. government supporters call it a cheap publicity stunt opponents a useless attempt to intimidate them and to add more drama to the day the interior minister announced what he called a plot by mercenaries allegedly paid by the opposition to assassinate keep politicians and members of the military this he says in order to raise the level of upheaval in venezuela. evidence the telephone analysis and interrogation and this morning to capture. a clueless fifty four years old wanted for attempted assassination treason instigating an uprising attacking military facilities. earlier had presented the opposition's plan for the nation a road map political stability.
