a silent protest to making a lot of noise. people in argentina have been getting their hands just across on international women's day. and the splashdown that means the countdown is on for the first manned mission by a private space operator. now the demands for all jarius eighty two year old president to go are getting louder and the crowds are growing larger by the day friday's protest against the lizzie's beautifully co were the biggest in twenty eight years hundreds of thousands of people turning out in huge numbers across the country they're urging the ailing president not just sound for a fifth term at next month's elections and this was the capital. of the demonstration was the largest since two thousand and one of the media reports for the number. more than

a million people police arrested nearly two hundred protesters and the city of baton on the far east of geria that's close to the border with tunisia protesters packed into the main square they waved flags and called for political change. and here in iowa ron that's on the other side of the country there been similar scenes tens of thousands of mainly young men and women rallying in algeria second biggest city. now most of the demonstrations were peaceful but in the capital some protesters fought with police as they were blocked trying to reach the presidential palace security forces using tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowds. our correspondent mohammed john joe has this report or his ride the protests for the third successive week nationwide in algeria where and this time they appear to be bigger than ever. demonstrators demanding president out there as he is with the police abandon his bid for a fifth term in office in next month's election i just

a day earlier eighty two year old beautifully who suffered a stroke five years ago and is in switzerland for what are described as routine medical tests urged algerians not to demonstrate and warned about the risk of chaos if they did the protesters didn't listen. to me not us i am here today with my daughters with the country's children to take back our last algeria we want to take it back so that our children find work so that they don't see and drown in the mediterranean sea. yeah neelam the system and please leave us look at the people the action is here the people are here from old social classes from the youngest to deal just everyone is saying no church few third please leave you won't even be judged. at the local media reports say that nine politicians from with a clique is ruling f l m party resigned to join the revolt. train and metro

operators halted services to try and stem the tide of protesters a strategy that clearly didn't work across algeria demonstrations have been staged daily for the past two weeks since beautifully could confirm he would stand for another term in office on april the eighteenth since the protests began opposition groups have been attempting to come up with a viable plan on how to remove with a flicker from office in an open letter on monday the president said if he's reelected few will call for a referendum on a new constitution and another election at some point. algeria's armed forces are under mounting pressure to find a solution but so far the response has been cryptic while alluding to the demonstrations algeria's army chief at the civil war of the one nine hundred ninety s. urging protesters to be aware of history but the rallies continue with no signs of abating any time soon mohammed him to just be. on the rallies for change are spreading beyond algeria supporters there been shows a solidarity in the french capital crowds gathered in paris saying they're not just

opposed to president but a flick about jarius entire political system the french government says it's monitoring what's happening but foreign minister. and said it's for gerry and to decide on their country's future. and then switzerland algerians gathered in front of the hospital where the president's being treated government says with a flake i arrived in geneva for a medical checks late last month but will be discharged soon. because it's it's amended which shouldn't happen this mandate is a mandate of cheating and corruption the president called run for president because he's health doesn't allow him but the algerian constitutional council has accepted . and this is very telling what is happening in algeria stephen mcinerney is the executive director of the project on middle east and he says he's

expecting a big announcement from the government in the coming days. the protests were enormous they were wide reaching across the country and very crosscutting in terms of all segments of society participating numbers were really overwhelming and the mood was really positive and kind of inspiring i think it's very likely that we'll see significant concessions and significant announcement to come from the government this weekend i would expect either tomorrow or sunday i think it's very likely that there will be announcement of beautifully it will not run for another term i think it's also very likely they will postpone elections beyond april to give more time to kind of figure out a roadmap and a plan but we'll see i mean i there's been there was complete silence from the government today but i think it was encouraging that there was any kind of real crackdown on the protest or any any real violence initiated by security forces which some had feared was a possibility so i think thing you know everyone's waiting to see what the

government will say over the weekend. to another country embroiled in a political crisis where several hours from now there'll be a rival protest venezuela's president nicolas maduro and the opposition leader on why though are rallying supporters across the country now these demonstrations come as power is restored in some parts of venezuela after the worst blackout and decades nationwide outages left several places without electricity for more than a day our correspondent terrorism bo has more on the people affected by the power cuts and the capital caracas. and he really home a c. seventeen years old and for the last few months she's been involved in a battle with bone cancer. she's already had part of one leg removed because of her two more to get that. right up when m.p. really went through the whole day matter you're sauced be telling god act as for her schedule treatment on friday she was told it had been postponed the recent and electricity blackout affecting much of the country to another but. i spent three

months waiting to begin making moves therapy because the equipment was in working now because of the blackout again he quipped meant is not working so come get my key move. the source of the blackout has been traced to the electric dam in the state of. almost every corner of the country has been impacted by the power cut. but it is in hospitals like this one where the situation becomes critical this is one of the most effective but nobody got i got electricity had been gone already for fifteen hours and initially the hospitals power plants failed and that's why the government was forced to bring in other power plants but we're told that they're only able to supply some rooms within the hospital. daughter loudy annie is twelve years old and suffers from hydrocephalus she has been in the hospital for a week and live in a moment or not any more there's no electricity and because of that there's no

water there are no syringes no goals we were told the power plant failed last night so i'm not sure how the situation here will continue. without electricity most of the capital remain closed on friday the metro railway systems have shut down so have schools and businesses. the political opposition blames the massive power cut on corruption and mismanagement. if you don't see in two thousand and nine they declared an electrical emergency ten years ago they paid one hundred billion dollars into the electrical system yet we find ourselves in this disaster today. the president. has blamed the outage on sabotage by the united states government has not provided evidence to support his claim but his backers including captain. are convinced he's right. there are people who are planning to destroy the revolution we're talking about international opposition and donald trump and his

puppets are trying to guarantee people get back jobs mostly for hospitals and other sectors. a few minutes later electricity came back in some parts of. the government supporters celebrated and chanted that the socialist revolution started by chavis won't be defeated any time soon. but outside the hall they may be as hospital there was silence as mothers waited for any update on their children's condition their primary concern is not who's to blame for the blackout it's the hold their child gets the treatment they desperately need. all aids another issue for venezuela the deputy director of the u.s. government aid agency is in colombia where the latest shipment of international assistance has arrived but president maduro has blocked aid from getting across the border another apollo is and cook that with that story. another u.s.

cargo plane arrives in. on board the most recent aid package the trump administration is positioning in the region at the request of venezuelan opposition leader one way though. the shipment now moves into the hands of the colombian government until it can be safely transported into venezuela this is the first act as and to provide to assistance to another country we have achieved in a 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 usa 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 soup kitchens like these are a lifeline for me to 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. one thirty aircraft 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 here unable to

cross over into venezuela. more than a dozen countries have pledged to assist in delivering aid to been a swiller even though nobody seems to know when that might happen. call it harding if the latin america analyst said he doubts that maduro's time in office will be cut short despite the pressure he's under i think having hoped the military would change sides massively. has now i think reconciled selves and they've to meet tract that it's not going to be quick and he hopes that the increasing pressure both domestic and international countries very isolated narrowing of course doing things like expelling the german president isn't helping basketball now that this increasing pressure on the government will bring about its collapse and that this will finally convince the military himself not being

convinced by why those that are result are bound to stay under sir treatments that they will eventually be just waiting to they really should not matter at this point but it's not going to be quick and that it's 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 don't just because just are increasingly rare like this. plenty more still ahead this news hour including. living in limbo we'll tell you about the families in iraq struggling with the stigma. by a drop in demand leaves thailand's rubber industry facing an uncertain future. and the women's world cup champions launch

children the first injection will be free but the booster won't. we shouldn't stop there the main challenge is how to plan for what comes after for the last twenty five years madagascar hasn't been successful in immunizing its children against measles we can only hope that after this campaign it'll have all it needs to vaccinate as routinely as possible or when. doctors say ninety five percent of the population needs to be vaccinated to stop measles spreading but without extra money it's likely more malagasy families will be forced to live with the devastating consequences vinton monahan al-jazeera. rights activists say young men in kashmir are being pushed into joining armed groups because of a military crackdown on the region and they say the it's have no choice as peaceful protest is not allowed tensions escalated between india and pakistan last month after a suicide bomber killed more than forty. has this report. among the

driven the rubber price down forty percent over two years and the months long trade war between the united states and china has severely cut china's need for thai rubber. rubber farmer since he was a boy prop is struggling but is skeptical of a subsidy program recently put in place by the military government. to give them a try to help us but they just do it just to save face and fix the problem in the short term they don't think about the long term they subsidise the group of fifty eight dollars per fifteen hundred square metres of course we want money to know this program some economists see the subsidies as a quick fix is there only a short term benefit for some of the local farmers here it does nothing to lessen their reliance on the global price of rubber and what needs to happen next they say is more of a focus on innovation advancing the industry here less on export raw rubber. as thailand heads towards its first election since the military coup five years ago

some question the government's motivation behind subsidies rather than investing in the future of the industry they don't have enough dissent and they don't have a political view to do that they detest doing something that's easy. and then get popular. because you do sing puppy. so you know and then you go but the government defends the subsidy program as the only way they can work with the farmers how many who got me yet if we don't have this program the farmers don't come to talk with us with. the government this probably is traditionally a stronghold for the democratic party members campaigning out in the plantations they say the current program is bad for the farmers and will bring it to an end if elected although they'll guarantee a minimum price for rubber. but offer little detail of how they'll keep the

industry going in the long term and how the people here will continue to live off their white gold it's got harder al-jazeera krabby thailand. the white house communications director has resigned didn't allow work on president on trump's reelection campaign bill shine as a former fox news executive who joined trump's staff in july he left the network and twenty seventeen amid criticism of how he handled sexual harassment scandals trump released a statement commending shine for an outstanding job in his administration rights groups are criticizing the u.s. government for storing a database of journalists covering the migrant caravan from central america leaked documents show that customs and border protection compiled a list of dozens of people to be screened more thoroughly at the us mexico border brownouts us this report from los angeles. the until now secret list of fifty nine immigrants rights activists journalists and attorneys who are being tracked and

a trace in the twenty first century years of searching for the wreckage of m h three seventy have yielded little clue only a few pieces of debris and frustrations of not knowing exactly where the aircraft crashed into the indian ocean it's amazing that in this world where we track or cars or kids or animals that we don't track aircraft in real time in two thousand and fourteen air traffic controllers had only a general idea of m.h. three seventy's location over open water in fact that's been the norm for flights covering most of the earth the aviation industry has long relied on land based radars to provide flight surveillance those radars only cover ten percent of the planet you can build a radar tower in the ocean when you're flying over the oceans nobody knows where you are the evasion industry has accommodated by spacing out planes over radar
