welcome back now with another crucial briggs's vote due on tuesday millions of u.k. citizens and other european countries abound the watching closely or tickle is one of the most attractive destinations for britons working abroad but as long as the reports from lisbon uncertainty over the u.k.'s exit from the block has begun to take its toll on business. one of the myths about british people in europe is that they like to live in places like portugal so they can get a round of golf in before moving on to gin by lunchtime but very many more move to places like this for work we brought this group together they all have different

questions they cannot get answers to me and many many of the people can see you it's the same concern. about health care will that continue obviously with people wanting to move between countries and. not knowing whether i'm going to be able to take people's goods between countries. already businesses running rental apartments and my concern is that we use a large chunk of the forty percent of our market which is currently a bridge from a. residency and how 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 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 or 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 dent to the 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 you level are you know lateral massive. unilateral measures they are temporary measures and we hope this will be sorted out so will. i would have a real answer for that british consular officials in portugal are 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 to repeat the complaint from british people who live and work in continental europe is a british government's 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. protesters have been out on the streets of paris for the seventeenth successive weekend and this time it was women leading the march they've been calling for equal treatment just a day after international women's day the protests were mostly peaceful but the number of those taking part fell to its lowest level since demonstrations first began last november as anger the president emanuel marked on his economic policies

protests into a new part of the city that i suppose there. it was a protest when territory in the capital. thousands responded to opposition leader call to take over victoria avenue in. an area that's been off limits for the opposition because it has been traditionally controlled by supporters of the water . and for you know me was among those trying to convince the police to join in the protest. we want them to join us because we are the people not the government we are the majority right now that needs change and it's not represented by nicolas maduro. this rally is the opposition's latest move to oppose the government after a failed attempt to get aid. into the country with the help of the united states it was gathered in three different parts of that i got and then i made it so this i

knew i never tried to make it till the end of this run where they're supposed to meet up especially if i want to write about their savings as you can see here that if i have any nationality gods i doubt that. i see a few minutes later people started to push to get the body of aryan national guard off the street they left the area to avoid a major confrontation i one way they all arrived hours later begging venezuelans not to do is hope. we've said it before once to wear us out brothers and sisters and yes the road has been very long the road has worn us out but we will never tire in the search for freedom. the protest happened after a major power outage left much of venezuela in complete darkness the first blackout was caused by a failure at the good hydroelectric plant in the state of. electricity supply began

to return on saturday but then power and communications collapsed once again. the government also organized an anti imperialist protest close to the presidential palace he. blamed the opposition and the united states for the power cuts. so clearly. john you typically are they were conducting highly scientific energy attacks with advanced technology what our experts called electromagnetic attacks against the transmission lines to generate interruptions sabotage the process of laughs no real connection. was venezuelans are already struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis of the past few days has allowed the opposition to gain ground in areas they were not able to reach before i was thirty seven

had access is a us medina is a form of venezuela diplomats who resigned in twenty seventeen to protest what do those policies he wants more international involvement in venezuela. the constitutionally interim president should out upon the needle of their people and to request not immediate terry intervention but i need international humanitarian intervention with military support and that's why article one of the seven eleven or national constitution allows the ellsbury station to request for a military cooperation to come into our country when we have hundreds of people dying every day at least in the last forty eight hours only because of the lack of electricity where one hundred people have died well it usually is nine hundred people daily time believed today was also a great answer from the united states judicial sector when there was an indictment on the former vice president telling a lie sammy where he has been already and he was under the kingpin not sanctions in

today he had and i mean done an indictment and therefore where he leaves now he knows this is not a joke he will be out branded and i would say i would invite the u.s. into his well outward hand all these criminal officials from his regime and their truck and pay their prison time in the us there's a lot that the u.s. can do is more a whole eastern international cooperation from latin america the government in algeria has ordered universities to close early for the spring break a students lead the biggest protests in nearly thirty years they'll shots on sunday two weeks ahead of schedule no official reason has been given young people think often demonstrations against president abdelaziz bouteflika the eighty two year old is seeking a fifth term in office i did us hashemite but has covered north africa extensively he says the role of algeria's military will be key. as the protest movement gains

momentum in algeria the big question is what will be the army's next move the army being the most powerful establishment in algeria that will depend on many factors we have to wait and see what happens on the thirtieth of march when the constitutional court will. approve those illegitimate to run for the presidential elections and i think that could ignite more anger in algeria the general sentiment now among many people the protesters the opposition is that the elections should be postponed and they say that they don't think that the environment could be conducive to and instability in algeria i think of the men term continuous over the coming weeks the army will definitely have to step in now they are cautiously monitoring the situation on the ground and they're

looking for that balancing act they don't want to be seen as siding with beautifully and of the same time signing a gas the algerian people that are statements made over the past few days by the. army chief guy it's backfired he asked people who warned people against in the acts of instability but for many people this was an act of intimidation trying to tell the people if you decide to continue to protest the army might interfere so i think they are trying to gauge with way the wind is going to blow in the coming days in algeria but this is quite a remarkable moment in the modern history of the country has gone through a series of political crises nine hundred sixty five the those who fought for the independence of algeria disagreed about how to move forward and the pave the way for the first military coup in algeria in one nine hundred ninety one the army had

to step in and block the political process in a syria to prevent the islamists from abroad in the country an act which still continues to divide the audience you have those who say it was a wise decision by the army and those who say that was the moment there has prevented algeria from building a strong vibrant democracy and this explains why now the army is very cautious about how to move forward but i think if the momentum continues to build against president abdelaziz bouteflika and his bid to run for a fifth term it could be the moment for the army to step in and look for another turnout of a u.s. backed kurdish fighters are preparing for a final push against isis last enclave in syria fighting in booze was poorest to allow more civilians to leave on saturday and i saw flare could still be seen in the town say tens of thousands fled the area since the start of the offensive by kurdish fighters last month the head of the un's refugee agency has been seeing

firsthand what life is like for syrians who fled the fighting filipa grandy visited refugees in lebanon and says the u.n. will not pressure them into returning home. they're worried they're they're fearful of security they are thinking about their destroyed houses of their lack of jobs in all these are very important human factors that need to be addressed but i think that if we continue to work on the syrian side maybe more people will make this decision in more confidence it is very important you know very well our position that any return be not only safe and dignified but also voluntary that people have to make that decision by themselves and should not be pressured or pushed and i think that continues to be our position but of course for those who return they will be they will be supported by us and we're certainly not as has been said in the past but these not being said anymore we're not blocking any return we would be

it would not be our job to do that. lawyers in sudan say nine women protesters have been sentenced to twenty lashes and a months in jail for rioting it comes a day after president obama had bashir ordered the release of all women detained over demonstrations students of continue to protest in the capital hard to despite a state of emergency officials say thirty one people have died in protest related violence so far human rights watch has put the death toll at fifty one cable morgan has more from khartoum. following the directives of president armitage bashir thirty eight women have been released from prison according to the da for lawyers association now let's remember we don't know how many women have been arrested in the first place the government has not given a clear figure to how many women were detained since the protests started more than eleven weeks ago in fact the government hasn't given a clear figure to how many people both male and female were arrested but what we do know is that thirty eight women so far have been released that number does not

include the women who have been sentenced to jail for their participation in trials and that number does not also include the women who are pending charges because of their participation in protest over the past few weeks now again we don't know how many women were arrested in the first place but activists say that the number could go as high as one hundred fifty women who have been arrested we've spoken to family members over the past few weeks and they have expressed concerns about the well being of their female relatives who have been detained some of them tweeted out on social media and on facebook that they are very relieved to have their family members back and that they are very happy to know that they are doing well and that they will be taking them for basically medical check up to make sure that everything is ok with them but again this is not mean the end of the process the president has repeatedly said that he wants dialogue and this could be part of his initiative to try to show the protesters and the demonstrators that he's trying to pave way for a dialogue but people are saying that they don't want any talks with them we have spoken to many demonstrators over the past few weeks and they say that is not going

to be the solution their calls for more protests tomorrow and in the coming weeks and they say they will not stop until the government steps down something the president said he's not going to do and he's already announced a state of emergency that is set to last for a year and most of the people who've been arrested over the past couple of weeks have been charged have been charged and pride in the.
