its plan to seek a fifth term data for this but many both inside and outside the country are wondering what the ailing president is even aware of what's happening turkey says its troops will work with russia to maintain stability in the syrian rebel stronghold of. what will the new deployment mean for the complicated and fragile balance in the we have torn country i knew the new checking feature in india to help create news but the company isn't checking the videos themselves so well with make a difference i'm sort of high at the latest on lots i'm on twitter and surrounds they do show you the hash tag a.j. right. there with the news going to live on and streaming online through you tube facebook live and al-jazeera doc all now already suffering from a political crisis venezuela has now quite literally plunged and to document this power when topical. the country on thursday evening and in most places it hasn't

been restored schools have been shot and work suspended on a friday nikolaus models government is accusing what it calls extremist sect is of sabotaging the biggest hydroelectric dam the opposition says mismanagement has ruined the power grid the blackout adds to the struggle between the president and opposition leader won by bill has been calling on the boodle to quit while president nicolas maduro tweeted the power war announced and directed by us imperialism against our people will be defeated nothing and no one will be able to defeat the people of boy and chavez maximum unity of the patriots opposition leader why those shots back he said twenty two states were without power six hours of power outage and caucus is a record and that brought chaos warry and outrage by those said the blackout demonstrates that inefficiency of the usurper the country needs the use of patient to end well due to the outrage we are struggling to get our correspondent choice

about and live from caracas but she did manage to send us this report. a massive power cut is affecting at least fifteen states in venice. the electricity went off around five o'clock on thursday and it still has not turned this has generated all around the city there is no metro there's no trains and there's no water for example would be going around several hospitals in one of them is this one where the emergency room is running with one power plant but we're told that the rest of the hospital is in the dark in the past in this hospital and because of a power cut at least four people lost their lives because of this problem with electricity in the country the government is saying that the power grid was generated by an attack an attack by the extreme right by the opposition by the united states and that's why they have suspended schools among other things until they're able to restart electricity in the country the opposition says however that

this is an example of the problems that. today shortages of food of medicine and now electricity lack of investment corruption among other problems and that's why the opposition is calling for more protests in venezuela that are expected to happen this saturday. well let's get more on this now a joined by called an. analyst and director of the consultancy and information service on latin america and he's joining us live from manchester and always good to have you with us on al-jazeera it is not the first time there's been a blackout and venezuela but this i think has been the most widespread. yes well very far from us yes i mean the extras for saying in two thousand and ten whose fault is that that they hold the national system is on the point of collapse that being a pretty testament and lack of maintenance and of course now they're a bit short she's a few holes for the. family electric class are supposed to kick in when they're

promising that i do electric system. there you know this is this is the latest episode in the ongoing crisis as you say by far the most serious has been said so is the blackout because of as you mentioned you know a lack of maintenance a lack of resources or is it what the government and the electricity operator a saying that it's sabotage at the going to em. well it's very hard to see how they could have an enormous damage bring east of the country in crisis high status situation but security concerns are how it could have been set which are since very young age there that they aren't there the machinery plants that they're supposed to be in days years ago this hasn't happened and of course experts on the industry saying as to that this this is the consequence of course they have the capacity as they say plant depends on water levels that macos down and that there are shortages

when state level goes up again the government say well the problem itself that we really want to invest again at a cost that there is that the question or corruption which are differing is going to decimate senior officials that mean money is coming missing that should have been invested and has been enhanced is invested over the years but the big down there are no co basic supplies about seventy five percent of the country's electricity needs the restaurants from sound all plants but because there's a lack of diesel and oil for them to go there they have that it is a perfect storm and there are of course all reading ongoing mess of protests against the government does having the country and a blackout put even more pressure on us in other words government. it really doesn't dave's of course far and wide oh yes. it's interim president. who's just returned to the country and. the government announced that it was he left the

country because he couldn't be allowed to come back again and in a free that he would be arrested he wasn't when he came back out here this week as he's called for a massive demonstration tomorrow. if they join him on the streets this is a bad moment for. the latest of many for the government which of course the the attempts to play the opposition on the united states' school programs what can the opposition do to capitalize on what is another bad moment for the comet the government as you mentioned one why though came back to the country risking arrest the government didn't do anything i mean he was welcomed by a number of foreign diplomats the german ambassadors being expelled from venezuela for welcoming why there were but what is the opposition's plan now beyond you know calling for more protests against the government. well that's the major thing that the demonstration tomorrow and the government's culture are counting strangely which is their usual the reaction well i think having hoped that the

military would change sides massively. has now i think reconciled itself some aides to say they've tracked that it's not going to be quick he hopes that the increasing pressure both domestic and international countries very isolates that narron are of course doing things like expelling the seven presidents and help basketball now that this increasing pressure on the government will bring about its collapse and that this will finally get those the military who so far have not been convinced by why those the office of and the standard treatment that they will eventually be persuaded that they really should not matter at this point which it's not going to be quick and that it is going to have to be some kind of negotiation no doubt there are talks going on with senior military and government officials behind the scenes that this is going to be a long process because they'll want guarantees that you know that they're not going

to crack at this thing too badly if they're going to relinquish power so it's in for the long haul now i think why down interests of course just are increasingly realizing this let's head and thank you very much for your time and your expertise on this as always that's common hiding live in manchester thank you so. now the deputy director of america's development agency usaid as accompanying the night a shipment of international assistance to venezuela at the colombian border president nicolas maduro has blocked access to the aid across international borders leading into venezuela manuel rapinoe as in cook with the colombia what the story. another u.s. cargo plane arrives and. on board the most recent aid package the trump administration is positioning in the region at the request of venezuelan opposition leader. the shipment now moves into the hands of the colombian government until they can be

safely transported into venezuela if this is the first act as an intermediary for provide to assistance to another country we have achieved an important technical function denying the existence of a humanitarian crisis president has said venezuela is not a country of beggars and ordered the closure of international borders with brazil and colombia. the last time the colombian government tried to move aid to venezuela clashes broke out with paramilitary forces and the cargo was set on fire. during a news conference and on thursday the deputy director of u.s.a. id told al-jazeera she's confident that won't happen again when it comes to contingency planning our contingency is that the borders will be opened and the humanitarian assistance will be allowed to enter venezuela. as many as five thousand people are crossing into colombia from venezuela every day in search of food for been as well and refugees like gas and her two year old son one minute

soup kitchens like these are a lifeline. for all of us venezuelans are dying of hunger there's hunger there are children dying. since february fourth the united states and three other nations have delivered more than one hundred ninety five million dollars in assistance supplies include food hygiene kits and medical equipment. this latest shipment that's just arrived in colombia aboard this c one thirty aircraft is carrying more medical supplies and other equipment that will add to the more than six hundred tons of international aid that continues to sit in warehouses on the colombia venezuela border but the big question remains how much longer will it remain a year unable to cross over into venezuela. more than a dozen countries have pledged to assist in delivering aid to business will or even though nobody seems to know when that might happen my mood up a little. how do you get in touch with us we want to hear from you on all the

a stroke in twenty thirteen well we're going to get more on this we're joined by mohammad kid at his russian several books on media freedom and politics in algeria and is professor of a strategic communications at. mr kay not very good to have you with us on the news so what do you make of several lawmakers from the ruling f.l.n. resigning and joining. these protests yeah what their lawyers finally that the you know this is the we are getting to do you know to joey and the protesters because they are right you know we have the president who is. the country they said that he went to sue is that done for the routine tests and you know it has been more than ten days and do know how can you have a president who is going to a country he can't even talk he can't talk move and he can't even present his. forward to put his even see he has to to give it by hand by himself physically he

didn't do that and according to. the one zero two in the constitution. and i think it is your bill told the country and so why are the people that surround him whether it's the military generals you know powerful business people and intelligence why they so determined to keep the flicka and power as their representative because he would but thanks to bill which if they can do whatever they wanted to kenya no use the you know that is sources of the country and whatsoever so. is the only person who can call that of them and he's the only person that they have consensus on the problem no the odd interrupted did the couldn't find somebody who can get a place. and that's why the are standing by him berta you know given these

demonstrations today they are talking about twenty million nigerians out in the state it's all over the country in its forty eight states so and this before i'm not going to go but this is right it's yeah it's a snowball dad going through. you know for toward that. have into a new president changing the system then changing the regime and you know no the military institution is is in be to india haven't decided yet and maybe the alley did next few days the out who in you know to say the by the people instead it's the same thing for four of the politicians like india the algerian union what does or you know the war. veterans organization who decided to side the by the people and i think you know by phone goes by you know they will join and devotion and the wisdom of the people instantly so you are quite hopeful then for watch will

you have the nigerians hope you know ok that several senators but this is the best one that if you know he just said resign and we would go to a cyclone or two from the course decision the would say no to is if the military institution to get in confrontation with the people in streets and they will call for a state of emergency and they would cancel the whole tent and we will book. you know two bikes to a crowd sixty to a shooting which nobody wants it is a very important time in algeria and we will be monitoring these protests very closely over the next few days thank you for your time on the need for shade thank you. now as we saw with many of the protests in the region social media had a big role to play which is why it is here with more on that sorrow well that's exactly what's happening and that's because what's happening is that the youth seem to be at the forefront of these processes a sentiment that's been a walk around for a while but they're the ones that that fire and it's been mostly organized through

social media in fact the first protests last month was done that way and that's why many people are calling it a grass roots movement but just before the protests when we were having a lot we think people post. pictures of the preparations they were doing here this morning and i spoke to quite a few people that said that they were quite excited to be going to the protests and one of those posts was by right there she can see her she's just ironing her algerian flag and then i saw this one as well it was it's a banner it's making a reference to the president's health and says how can you run a fourth fifth term when he can't even walk so that just gives you an idea of the excitement among youngsters especially that we're heading to the process and others have been sharing messages and images i want to show you like this one i know it's an arabic but it basically translates to say that we should protest but we need to do this very peacefully and that seems to be a common theme throughout now the students have been brainstorming also and they're sharing those ideas they say through debates in fact they're holding it not just in

campuses but they're also doing this in public spaces like this one that you can see and they say the ultimate goal of that is to promote freedom of expression now videos are also being uploaded to social media from the protests as we're speaking now. this one shows the people that are gathering in the city center in algiers now they're of course chanting for the president because he stepped down and there's also been a lot of women posting pictures of themselves from the process enough to mark international women's day that's another us theme that we're seeing and we've picked up on is football because algeria is actually mad about the game in the stadiums have long been a nucleus for those protests and as james dorsey senior fellow and author of the turbulent world of middle east soccer told us there's a close link between students football fans and protest something that we've been seeing since twenty eleven when the arab spring first happened. the fans of the

government have since struck a deal a tacit understanding under which the fans would be allowed to protest in the stadiums as long as those protests did not spill out into the streets about jewry in cities and towns that understanding held for much of the last eight years but is falling apart with the current anti-government demonstrations in algeria a football crazy country like much of the middle east and north africa students are almost synonymous with football fans in other words football fans are a key demography of protest l.g. past and present well of course when as students and young says there's always going to be a bit of creativity and one of those is not having mass protests with music so video has been put together as parts of the demonstrations and calls for liberation

to take a listen to. the . so way by destroying the story and it's one of those stories i said that plays out on social media sites many videos just like this one this was actually posted an hour ago and you're getting plenty of it is not just from the capital but from across the country as well as photos and there's also been a sense of a convo in the state but what we would like is we're putting a call out to people who are in algeria and also ex-pats living outside the if they can send us their videos and their photos and just give us an idea of what they thought saw and we'd love to hear from me she can do that with a news group you can get hold of me on twitter messages and also find me on

instagram. sorry thank you very much for that now algeria is one of the top trending stories for us on al-jazeera on thursday inside story took an in-depth look at how the army will handle the protests against with a flicker you'll find that episode and the inside story page that's under the show's banner on our website. now turkey and russia will join forces to help maintain stability in the syrian city of edom took is the defense minister who stressed his concern of a serious violation of the ceasefire both countries hope that a military presence in the city will help the deal hold you live in the shin that is literal yes and today the patrols of the russian troops just outside it live border and inside it live weaponized areas the patrols of the turkish army forces are starting to say there were some restrictions over using the airspace over it libyan afrin which also lifted today in this respect our cooperation with russia has improved we see this as a significant step for the continuation of the cease fire and ensuring stability

meanwhile in eastern syria more than sixty thousand people are now crammed into a camp after leaving isis last shrinking pocket of territory some have described scenes of horror and despair in the bombed out religious whether u.s. backed syrian democratic forces say isis defeat is imminent the s.d.f. has been applying a combination of force to put pressure on fighters who refuse to surrender followed by pauses to allow the fighters wives and children and other civilians to escape. well let's get more now on the joints to push russian patrols in edge live we're joined by joshua landis director off the scent of a middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he's joining us live from norman oklahoma mr landis always a pleasure to have you with us on al-jazeera on tell us more about why tookie and russia are carrying out these patrols now beyond concerns about a cease fire holding. well into the province is a big province and it's where most of the hardened rebels have been in

a sense collected and pushed out of the rest of syria as the government has conquered it and so it's a giant holding ground there are you know by cia estimates over thirty thousand hardened rebels many of them affiliated with h.t.s. higher. which is a al-qaeda organization where at least had been linked with it and syrian government the russians have accused the turks of not fulfilling their side of the bargain which is to contain these jihad it's in fact it conquered the entire province largely ana and so this is an effort by turkey to have these joint patrols and to mollify russia and to consolidate this agreement because turkey is terrified that if syria and russia attack you'll get the same thing you're seeing in the east bows which is tens of thousands of family members refugees fighters being pushed out into turkey and perhaps into europe so europe turkey are desperately trying to

keep this agreement together and i did not want to an army and that is something that i think defense minister himself mentioned that this is a dangerous situation not just for the rest of the middle east but for europe too and talk about how this is a holding ground for some thirty thousand and five says they're all for nearly four million civilians an adlib have gathered there from other parts of the country who escaped fighting in other parts of the country do these patrols make it lead safe for then. you know that's debatable it depends if you're obvious if you're anti h.p. yes they may make it safer the point is that it delays and eventual syrian invasion and russian invasion of this region in order to kill those rebels or to drive them out to defeat them and that's what europe and turkey are interested in they want this region into live to be turned into in a sense

a holding ground for these rebel groups that they will not be scattered into anatolia in europe syria and russia of course have said that they want this region to be read conquered by syria and included back into syria and sovereignty sovereign territory so ultimately they don't agree on very much over this region but this is why we're seeing these little. temporary agreements to try to patch it up and keep the situation stable and if we look at a bigger picture. can russia you know cement taking even more on the place and several as the u.s. pulls out more. they are the u.s. we don't know if the u.s. is pulling out that's that's one of the big questions the u.s. now has recommitted to keeping some troops we don't know how much in north syria and they're looking to both britain and france to keep their troops in as well now

britain and france said we're not going to keep our troops in of america's withdrawing and so it's very possible that america will not withdraw its troops any time soon and that could mean that we're seeing a divided syria for some time into the future with amanda thank you as always for your time your expertise on life that social and us live and no one on climate thank you pleasure. now facebook now i've got a story for you about sexism and sports and how views are being changed in india also we'll be live in london for the latest on breakfast promise which reason why pushes them pace to accept what the e.u. . hello if we're lucky maybe the last winter storm is just developing of the flatlands of eastern iraq since circulation it brought

a bit of rain to no one in syria northern iraq will bring a lot more to iran and of course with snow at some height you might even see some in the capital we end up on saturday about thirty degrees in tehran following weather to the west of that struck the rock back to the coasts of the mediterranean high teens old twenty's but a breeze picking up in iraq and blowing south was the rain itself to be assessed in sunday moving eastwards leaving iraq into afghanistan again significant snow is certainly possible up to kabul and beyond belief fine weather behind and as is fairly typical in these storms because here you end up with the schmaltz blowing down the gulf if it's been dry in iraq that could be a dusty one that is the case now he's temperatures in the low twenty's near feels like it as far west as riyadh but in mecca of that wind direction a pretty hot so that he six seems likely. we've seen some pretty nasty flooding recently in malawi the remains of one tropical cyclone still visible there and it may well turn into a softball site again as it goes off shore into the mozambique channel the line of

crucial to preserving food chains. i've come to the u.k. to see how old industrial sites are being turned into bug reserves in an attempt to reverse this worrying trend. fighting insect to get on on al-jazeera.

with the new fish live on air and streaming online and this is what's trending online on al-jazeera dot com m h three seventy people demand and display five days after the plane vanished the blackout and venezuela and the government blaming sabotage. u.s. the u.s. house board he condemns hates and the divide of the congresswoman. comments eisel fighters continue to surrender in their last shrinking pocket of territory in syria that and much more all on our website al-jazeera dot com. bush's promised. is urging m.p.'s to support her breaks that deal when they vote next tuesday and says one more push is needed to end the deadlock tories amazin goshi ations with the european union a stalled because of the impasse over the irish border e.u.

leaders gave her friday ultimatum to come up with new proposals for a solution let's go now to our correspondent in the he's joining us live from london and her audience and grimsby and the him which voted for brics it a much easier one than her own the m.p.'s in parliament in brussels. well yes it was a year easier audience because she wasn't taking questions from from the general public she never does it's something that she won't really. but what she did do was address her comments in part although she was speaking in grimsby address their comments to brussels she said that the u. has a choice to make as well as the u.k. and that it was quote in the european interest for the u.k. to leave with a deal she went on to say the decision is the e.u. makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote that vote being the vote in parliament next

week on her deal now all or throughout this week british officials have been in brussels trying to get the early binding changes to the so-called irish backstop solution in the withdrawal agreement to avoid a hard border an island they have failed quite clearly and now with hearing the treason they will not be traveling to brussels over the weekend which was a possibility before to to try to get a new agreement before the crucial vote next week so she's she's throwing the ball back towards europe. bought at the same time speaking grimsby it was a strongly leave voting constituency in the twenty sixteen referendum partly the messaging is she's trying to win over enough wavering members of the opposition labor party in parliament to back her deal for fear of of a no deal breck's it happening by default so part of she had two real audiences

that next week members of parliament in westminster face a crucial choice whether to back the brics deal or to reject it back it and the u.k. will leave the european union reject it and no one knows what will happen. we may not leave the e.u. for many months we may leave without the protections that the deal provides we may never leave at all the only certainty would be on going. well things are not looking great for tourism in terms of what happens in parliament next week the deputy head of the hard line break citi group within the tory party has said that they do not expect that they will be backing the deal because they have got significant changes now the showing is that

in the days that follow that if the deal is defeated then there should be a vote of actually ruling out no deal and on extending article fifty but it's far from clear whether that will happen in the last hour or so that the deputy head of the business group the c.b.i. said if the deal is defeated and these must get behind something else fast the clock is ticking. nothing thank you very much for that is the name of the nation is live in london thank you. let's get more now top story now we have just managed to establish contact with him and to raise a boat in the venezuelan capital caracas as we told you earlier the palace being off there and throughout much of the country since thursday afternoon so we've been able to establish a connection with you as a has how much power has been restored in the country. well before and mentioned before there's a massive power cut in the country and it still affecting at the fifteen day around

the country we know so far it has not been we thought we were at another hospital just a few hours ago now we're in front of a maternity hospital. that has been without power for sixteen hours but a role of government. that are only able to light some type of belak with the leverage and see roll through the emergency room but not the situation at that stands right now what we know is that the government has offended the working hours in order to try to get electricity grid back on in and out of. the bowl there also saying that they had been attacked by the opposition most by the united states by the fight and that we have been talking about government workers here for basically thing and hospital workers who are denouncing the conditions in the hospital and they're saying that there had been a big thing and lacking basic services water for example and also meditating them

on the banks of the situation is critical in the hospitals like this one the one we were just visiting and with situations like this one like a power cut happen to make the situation even worse and to raise as you mentioned the government and the electricity operators blaming sabotage at the dam but the opposition is saying because of the inefficiency the mismanagement the corruption of the government. well that's correct the government immediately started doing the work. by the opposition and by the way something similar happened a few months ago when the power went off again in the capital and in one of the main hospitals here i was at least four people lost their lives because their power there was not working but hospital workers at that time were telling us that the power plants had been out of service or at least three months so the government had been using the word. a lot but when you start hearing government employees on the

camera out there saying that for years. among other things even the opposition leader opposition. thing back in the one nine the government had already that that there with an electric and electric emergency here in venezuela believe that millions and millions of dollars and the power cuts and opinions on are still on boy in spite of that this is the biggest one that we have that has happened in the last two years to raise a thank you very much for that finale that is to raise a boy live in the caucus thank you. now at some point in the next few days the indian government is expected to announce dates for the general election which will most likely be held in april and may in a country with one point three billion people the elections are madness exercise in democracy they also pose a huge challenge in terms of fake news saraa is back with more on this so what is

in you tube doing about the sorry seems quite slow and it's always decided to stop but in india while you may have noticed some changes on facebook google news and even other platforms to find misinformation and better educate users on information that they are seeing and now you cheap is starting to use information panels and i'll just give you an idea of what they look like because it will look like this if you for example time virus in paracetamol and. fact check it for your own words like hoax alerts or even in caps they're false or fake and will pop up to really get your attention there's also a new feature that they've added it's been rolled out in india pre-election as you can see here the information panel will pop pop and it has been triggered for example with this video and several of them actually was from last month it was said that they were part of the pollard wanna attack in kashmir but the problem is the user who actually posted this video trying to pass it off as an attack on an indian paramilitary on an indian parliament she forces rather when in fact the

video actually shows a bomb explosion in a completely different continent in fact it was a different country altogether it was syria so these kind of videos can be quite dangerous especially when they go viral and especially in countries that have huge populations so for years now you tube and its parent company google have faced criticism for their funding model which allows them to make money of videos like these ones that you're saying that spread misinformation indian you tube users have noted many times in fact where every story in india is trending sectional new chief has been fake take a look at these this is a famous actress fake fake fake written in caps in red and these are examples of if you actually take a look at the numbers of how many times people have watched these videos it's incredible you've got one point three million six million it's one of those videos and these were made and shared by verified you tube creates is giving them more

offend to see so that just kind of gives you an i d of the amount of spreading of misinformation that does happen but here's what's a spokesman for you tube had to say. now they said there are ongoing efforts to build a better news experience we are expanding they said our information panels bring fact checks from eligible publishers to youtube they say we're also launching this feature in india and parents are all this out in more countries a time goes on but you tube has partnered with a number of other organizations that been certified by the nonpartisan international fact checking network vision us news and other organization in india are also working with facebook rather to fight mis information and while journalists working newsrooms across the world to d. point they want these things is a massive undertaking that just gives you an idea how misinformation can be spread so very quickly and more information is always better but should you to take all

these videos containing misinformation down so we'd love to hear your comments and questions and you know how to get in touch of the details so thank you very much for that now let's get more on this we're joined by. news reporter as buzz feed and he's joining us live from the indian capital in new delhi very good to have you with us on al-jazeera before we get to you to what they're doing what impact do these the fact checking can have why do you think misinformation and sake news is such a big problem in india. there's a reason. we're a big country there's one point three billion indians and there. are only about five hundred million indians are online. other who's actually still coming online and in twenty the last few years they've been getting access to cheap cell phones they've been getting access to internet plans cheap internet plans on the

cell phones. and as a result this is their window into the world and so they don't have they they're not able to differentiate between you know what what's real and what's not and that's one of the main reasons why you have such a big misinformation problem in india and this rollout is coming ahead of the general election which is always a ripe and violent for not just information wars but misinformation to do you think that's what here trip is doing could have an end pat on how people voted. i think i think it's a little more step appear to be a stretch to say that it will have an impact how people actually. believe i think american technology companies are under a lot of pressure to do something about the misinformation that spreads on that counts and while i think this is a good first of all you do it's not enough and i think i think it's i think it's

hundreds of fighters in pakistan at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries and then satellite images showed no such thing what happens in that case. i think. i think as people as normal citizens who use the internet. you would have to kind of trust the fact that he knows that companies like facebook and google with honesty i think that's where the buck stops and. i think there is not much else we can do to be honest or honest thank you very much for your time on this they appreciated that fades front of the live in new delhi thank you let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world palestinians who are banned from entering the al aqsa mosque in occupied east jerusalem have held prayers outside the building israel recently banned around one hundred forty

people including the custodian of the holy site israel sealed it off six years ago accusing band groups of using it for meetings harri force that has their. we're just a few minutes away from friday prayers here in the old city of occupied east jerusalem and as you can see thousands of people are streaming into the al aqsa mosque compound known as the temple mount to jews and they're doing so at a time of some controversy given what's been happening inside in the last couple of weeks the islamic works the trust which operates the compound in accordance with the jordanian government has decided to reopen an area around what's known as the mercy gate which was closed off from two thousand and three after israeli authorities tried to disrupt the activities of a group that they said was linked to hamas the what fish decided in recent weeks to reopen that area to allow worshipers to pray around it and there is essentially a battle going on between israel and the walk over or forty inside the compound as

part of that one hundred seventy people have been arrested one hundred forty people have been barred from the site altogether and that is why as prez appearing prepared inside the mosque there is also a group of people out here who are preparing to pray in processed in the streets outside the old city among those who've been barred senior clerics we spoke to one of them a little earlier national in the euro zone but that we are not calling for violence or dangerous developments we're telling these radio completion police and the politicians who are trying to gain votes in their elections to leave the mercy gates to authority of the walk of council and to jordan which has custody of this place where the a mom himself let off the press with a speech calling for the three hundred fifty thousand palestinians who live in occupied east jerusalem all to pray whether inside or outside the mosque in order to defend the mosque from what they see as an israeli assault on the sovereignty of

the walk over the mosque site itself the question now is how this is only resolved there have been talks going on between these radio for its. on the jordanians we understand that they are stalled over just how the mechanism of closing it off and allowing potentially some long term renovations to take place in the area could be begun the work for itself says it will not submit to it is ready to dish a deadline to hand back control of this area by monday it says it does not accept the jurisdiction of the israeli authorities over this site so for now the protests continue on now from the government has resigned after ditching plans to reform the health care system promises you have been a wanted to cut the rising cost of caring for the rapidly aging population has plans collapsed in parliament follow a scandal involving the galactic nursing homes he said to stay on as caretaker

let's find out what people are talking about in sport today here's their thanks liz all the top sport trend today is out of the n.f.l. their highest paid wide receiver may be traded to another team and it isn't going down without some drama antonio brown plays for the pittsburgh steelers and asked them for a trade from the team in february saying he has hash tag new demands then on

thursday the n.f.l. posted on instagram saying he was going to be traded to the buffalo bills brown then responded to that calling the news fake news the n.f.l. has since deleted their original post now the terms were not confirmed in any trade would not be completed until march thirteenth anyway when teams can officially make trades again all right well let's bring in from seattle national n.f.l. writer for usa today doug for our doug thanks for joining us real quick is this trade going to happen or is it actually fake news. well that was in fig news anina lat about wednesday and thursday the steelers and bills were discussing terms for a possible antonio brown trade what spiked it was that brown refuse to go he basically told the steelers if you trade me i will not report to buffalo and this throws a whole different level of shit on the whole idea kevin colbert of the scouting come i last week said if you know the right deal comes along we'll make it i don't

know that he had until noon brown refusing trades as initial additional complication as part of the entire formula now brown quit on his team several times last year i don't know how welcome he'd be back in that locker room but you know if i was saying one hundred percent yesterday that antonio probably triggered i'd put it down to maybe seventy five or eighty percent now because i don't know of colbert in the steelers are going to get a return they want from a guy who keeps killing his own train with his behavior and b. if he's going if they're going to make a deal to it seymour brown will actually go to it's becoming more and more complicated by the hour yet it's complicated but this did all start from an n.f.l. reporter who said that this trade was going to happen what does this look like do you think for n.f.l.'s credibility going forward when they report on stories. yeah it's i mean. one of their analysts was you know kind of beating up.

putting erroneous reports out carry a draft prospect it turned out that he was also consulting other draft prospects had not revealed a conflict of interest you know rapoport the reporter who put out this rip this thing about brown the bills i've known ian for a long time use one of the better reporters in league one he said was on twitter. brown and the bills and the steelers were close to a deal which i think was true from the steelers and the bills perspective and when brown came up with fake news what he was saying was i'm not going to buffalo and so i think rapaport reported with what he knew but he didn't do the whole story and especially in social media where everything is so quick quick if you're the only source and you're going out there with that you have to be very careful about how you phrase everything well with brown's reactions it's interesting that his behavior in all of this has taken a bit of a front line like if it odd that

a player is making these calls instead of the teams themselves about who goes where oh i think this happens all the time i think i think trades are discussed especially at the scouting combine in indianapolis which is where the draft prospects do the drills every coach every g.m. every scout is one of three different hotel so everyone's talking trade right now you know the new league year starts on the thirteenth so everyone's talking to everybody i think a lot of things are discussed that wouldn't would never happen for a number of reasons and one of those reasons is the player has the right to say no and he says no well thank you doug far for joining us. now we can't forget that it's also international women's day in sport our team at al-jazeera online has a fun thread for you on twitter showing us some of the often have fired up women from all around the where world here are some of our favorite video of.
