three is that right is there true it is a food of medicine hyperinflation that is the best thing the country's most vulnerable and that's what they're saying that there needs to be change and that change is represented and the opposition leader opposition one why don't vote tell us about security there out of the protests to raise a big cause i mean some is that why the himself to actually come out in public like this is surely a bit of a risk to him as well. well most definitely very early in the morning when we first arrived here there were not a knock of tension between protesters and the police mostly because the police wouldn't allow people here making it all the way to the end after pushing very very hard people the protesters were able to take over the streets and this is where we ran we have not seen the preference of the body very national guard because basically the police here they have been mostly out side because people are very very angry at them and this is in

a way and you are right i think that we're seeing from the government you know waiting very very carefully and demonstrating that one not have repressing but have not been painting people actually after the united states have reckoned that a government that was mentally ill be very of action if they had the first and like one why don't the protesters around the country tourism run the middle of things in qatar to stay in the protests the seventy thank you theresa. there has been a third attack on an ebola treatment center in democratic republic of congo hours before a visit by the head of the world health organization armed fighters targeted a facility in pretend b. which was attacked last month the assaults on the facilities have made it even harder to contain the virus which has now killed five hundred seventy eight people since august students have been protesting in sudan's capital khartoum despite a state of emergency there they're angry with the government for detaining

move between countries and. not knowing. whether i'm going to be able to take people's goods between countries. by businesses running rental apartments and my concern is. a large chunk of the forty percent of our market which is currently a bridge from a. residence info people are going to be able to come across here to see the value of the pound and what's going to happen there is in speculation so we're not really sure the moon will many but. what's going to happen more than twenty percent of all people who fly it's a portugal the british such is the love affair with the place so it's hardly surprising the portuguese government has raised the possibility of special lanes at passport control the british tourists so they continue to come after all would be a massive density economy if the golf courses were half empty. like other european

countries portugal is trying to ensure the rights of british citizens who want to live in their country as well as simply visiting but that only works if portuguese citizens in britain have the same rights and that is still not guaranteed we decide that we're going to give all these rights to the u.k. citizens resident in portugal in the expectation that there will be resupply city so all the contingency measures that are being taken that the u. level are you know lateral massive. unilateral measures they are temporary measures and we hope this will be sorted out so we'll. have a real answer for that british consular officials in portugal accused of being vague in their advice to u.k. citizens living here nobody was made available to speak to us but you can reasonably suggest it's hardly their fault he repeated complaint from british

people who live and work in continental europe is that the british government is making their responsibility to find out what their rights should be after the u.k. leaves the european union has just three weeks to go now until that's supposed to happen as with so many other things it all smacks of complete uncertainty largely al-jazeera in lisbon satellite images released in the us spy the news out of n.p.r. suggests north korea could be preparing for a new missile launch increased activity at the site near pyongyang times two weeks after talks between kim jong il and u.s. president donald trump ended without agreement kim had stopped a missile launchers as relations between the two countries improved but these latest reports come just days after different satellite images allegedly showed pyongyang had started rebuilding a rocket launch site as well. take a trip in southern thailand and it won't be long before you travel through a forest of rubber trees thai farmers export more raw rubber than anywhere else in

the world but as global prices fall they are the ones suffering the reports from the southern province of crabby critics say a government subsidy scheme is to this hill today it's. for generations the landscape of southern thailand has been dotted with rubber plantations it's known as the white gold that's tapped from the trees but now and probably province like many others the farmers have been dealt a double blow by world markets and one dispute in particular. global oversupply has 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. a rubber farmer since he was a boy. is struggling but is skeptical of a subsidy program recently put in place by the military government the need to give them and 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 subsidised fifty eight dollars to fifteen hundred square metres of course we want money to know if this program some economists see the subsidies as a quick fix as they are 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. to do it at. they detest doing something that's easy. and then get popular. because you're doing. so 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 corporate we the government. probably is traditionally a stronghold for the democrat party members campaigning out in the plantation 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 god it's got harder al-jazeera krabby thailand. the deadline for civilians to leave the syrian village of booze is fast approaching the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces say it will resume its assault on us a lot on saturday after polls the fighting to allow civilians to leave more than sixty thousand people mostly women and children are now seeking shelter in the

planet you can build a radar tower in the ocean when you're flying over the oceans nobody knows where you are the aviation industry has accommodated by spacing out planes over radar blind areas and sticking as close as possible to radar zones if you've ever taken the popular flight between new york and london you may notice that every route takes you on a northward arc a detour in a sense over canada and greenland that's because flights have had to stay with. then i shot of the land based radar towers there but starting this month new eyes will be watching and watching from space to us companies carry on and radio have teamed up to operate a satellite flight surveillance system that leaves no area of the planet uncovered the last of the web of sixty six satellites were delivered to orbit in january the

only system that has truly global coverage meaning that there is no spot on the earth the poles south pole north pole anywhere that there isn't covered the m h three seventy disappearance led to new international standards for aircraft position reporting over open ocean ariane any radium say their technology exceeds those standards feeding location data to air traffic controllers at least every eight seconds we won't have another situation that arises where we lose an aircraft but if it were to arise with the technology we have now we would know exactly where it is the vast majority of planes already have satellite transmitters on board perhaps ushering in a new industry standard. castro al jazeera leesburg virginia.
