you're watching the news hour live from headquarters in doha i'm dead coming up in the next sixty minutes anger in the streets across algeria crowds continue to demand president buthe flick us step aside after twenty years in power electricity is back on in some parts of venezuela after the country suffers one of its worst blackouts but for a number of families the damage has already been done and claims that the u.s.

government is tracking journalists who are reporting on asylum seekers along the mexican border. have all the day's sports including the west indies suffer one of the happiest losses in t twenty international history losing to england in the caribbean. they are the biggest protests seen in algeria for nearly thirty years but the target of the protesters anger is receiving treatment in switzerland president with a flick us suffered a stroke six years ago demonstrators say the eighty two year old is not fit for the job and after twenty years in power very demanding he doesn't run for a fifth term mohammad judge who reports. friday protests for the third successive week. in wide in algeria where and this time they appear to be bigger than ever.

demonstrators demanding president eyes ease with the clique 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 where i said they don't see and drown in the mediterranean sea. then. the system 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 fifth or please leave you won't

even be judged. and 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 to 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 he will call for a referendum on a new constitution and another election at some point. our jury is 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 evoke the civil war of the one nine hundred ninety s. urging protesters to be aware of history but the rallies continue with no sign.

it's of abating anytime soon. so let's take a look at why protests against this time are unprecedented the eighty two year old the. longest serving president he's been in power we're saying for twenty years when he was first elected in one thousand one thousand nine hundred the middle of a civil war that killed an estimated two hundred thousand people and he was credited with ending the almost ten year long conflict in two thousand and two and kick starting the economy but when the arab spring revolutions spread to algeria beautifully held onto power he tapped the country's vast oil wealth giving out subsidies and interest free loans he hinted at stepping down to appease protesters tired of corruption among the ruling elites then in twenty thirteen he suffered a stroke but that didn't stop his re-election the following year but now he has rarely been seen in public since and many algerian struggle to get by fluctuating oil prices have hurt the economy and the youth unemployment rate sits at nearly

thirty percent in a country where more than seventy percent of the population is under thirty years old so the rallies for change are also taking place beyond borders there have been shows of solidarity in the french capital crowds gathered in paris they're saying they're not just the post a president with a fleet but algeria as entire political system the french government says it's monitoring what's happening but the foreign minister's own even has said it's for algerians to decide on their country's future and over in switzerland there have gathered in front of the hospital where the president's being treated government says with a free car rides in geneva for a medical checks late last month but will be discharged soon. because. it's amended shouldn't happen. and corruption the prison. called run for president because he's health doesn't allow

him that's the algerian constitutional council has accepted. that this is very telling what is happening in algeria let's speak to the same civil society activists he's joining us from algiers via skype thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera so for those people that are around. who are pushing for a president that is in a wheelchair that hasn't appeared in public in a couple of years how far will they go to protect their interests and the entire system that has been put in place. element one and so we need to know because please get a bill to the respectable very specific system around him so a system that is built on financial interests between the very powerful business man and government government officials saw this as people are very aware that the

stakes are very big and the these people have a lot to lose and this is why and we see that they are pushing very very very well president to run for opposite as most people think that he's not even conscious of what they are doing and so they are people who suspect some of the people they include in his diary and are right in his letters for example we really think that they are right not try and this is greatly trying to find a solution to stick to power because if they because people in during the protests are you know convinced that the the book of the guy should step step them only him but all his regime or the system he has built the government including government officials and businessman so these people are scared or fear to be judged and feared to lose their interest and we are very sure and some some of us

are convinced that they are able or they are really to go you know miles to just stick to power but so what does that mean and there are questions about what the military does at this point because the military is under pressure to find some sort of solution to defuse the crisis and do we expect the military to step in or or take perhaps a more measured approach. it has happened in the past so if just for the program it to be. we have had. three presidents including the one before. me i'll also intervened. over so this is not to let you know too to do good inside. the military might want you to step in and to intervene but people right now are you know not only cut

up by the local by the pure and simple. in government less but also by the interventions of the army and they they are convinced that the. you know a civil government and civil society of strong civil society might be able to build a second republic because people are calling for a second republic including including the learning to mention of the army but you know the good side of hawaii is the chief of the of the army is the. son who you know leads the entire the entire sections of the army has spoken to rescind the and said that your lections are going to happen they come gambit the elections are going to happen those people do not want these elections to happen because they don't believe it will be transparent or they will if any and the rental i don't that's well then let me ask you why don't they have partially for

the interest of time let me just jump in there what about the opposition which has generally been fracture and do they have a plan. ok so the opposition has been meeting in the last few days to discuss this goes with a consensus and to propose someone to propose you know some solution but the position is right no director goes you say and they have a very hard time finding but in the solution because they you know they have been you know they have been weakened by the government and they have been diligent in my eyes by the government in the eyes of the people so people right now believe and are convinced that they are moment is the one that is going to bring a salute. to civil society on the whole is the one that is going to bring a solution and the solution would not be from political parties or from the government open we are ok and we thank you for speaking to us from. sudan's president has released at least thirty eight women detained during recent

anti-government protests the demonstrations began in december initially and response to a decision by a lot of bashir is government to triple the price of bread or saddam's government says thirty one people have died during the violence but human rights watch puts that figure much higher at fifty one have a morgan is joining us from khartoum to first tell us more about the release off some of the women detained during the protests. well daryn we've been in touch with the relatives of some of the women who have been detained over the past eleven weeks and they said that they were very concerned about their well being especially the women whose whereabouts were unknown now some of them posted on social media overnight because some of them were released midnight and some of them were released early this morning and they said they were very happy to see their female relatives again thirty eight women have been released so far according to the bar for lawyers association but let's remember the number of women who were arrested in the first place because of the protest is a norm activists say at least one hundred fifty have been arrested but nobody has

a clear figure to how many women are in detention because of their participation in the protest over the past few weeks the number of thirty eight women who've been released do not include the women who have been sentenced to jail because of their participation over the past few weeks let's remember that president bashir declared a state of emergency almost two weeks ago and there were women who were sentenced to jail for the participation in special courts are called emergency courts and her established after the state of emergency was announced the thirty eight women who have been released also do not include the women who are waiting to be sentenced there are also women who are waiting trials because of their participation once again so that thirty eight thirty eight did not include the women who are waiting to be sentenced and the women who have been sentence because of their participation in the protest over the past few weeks ok i have a mortgage with an update from parts to it but thank you once more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including why some young men in indian administered kashmir using violence to voice their discontent like thousands of others she was promised

not provided evidence to support his claim but his backers including captain one got. i 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 or chavis won't be defeated any time soon. but outside the 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 hope their child gets the treatment they desperately need. u.s.
