you can see here that if i have any nationality god wants and out of that. a few minutes later people started to push to get the ball of aryan national guard off the street they left the area to avoid a major confrontation i. arrived hours later begging venezuelans not to lose hope i have said it before the regime wants to wear us out brothers and sisters and yes the road has been very long the road is worn 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 a big old 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 and imperialist protests close to the presidential palace. blamed the opposition and the united states for the power cuts. they were conducting highly scientific energy attacks with advanced technology what our experts call electromagnetic attacks against the transmission lines to generate interruption in the process of national reconnection. been sway lands are already struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis and the past few days has allowed the opposition to gain ground in areas they were not able to reach before i was. asked to algeria where students say the government's order to close universities won't deter

a fairer and more harmonious future with al-jazeera paris. tibetan activists and human rights supporters are marking the sixtieth anniversary of the patent uprising against chinese rule rallies are being held outside tibet in countries that include taiwan and india china has put strictures on tourists and journalists who want to visit the himalayan country critics say it's another sign that beijing is repressing the rights of tibetans for matheson points. on march tenth one thousand nine hundred fifty nine chinese soldiers poured into tibet china says it was liberating the himalayan country it had ruled since one nine hundred fifty one but it was also suppressing protests against chinese authority which had grown and were becoming more violent tens of thousands of tibetans were reported to have been killed monasteries were destroyed tibet's spiritual leader the dalai lama was forced into exile in india where he remains

every march tenth since then demonstrations have been held around the world in support of tibetan independence eternal case and for many see any verse three at timothy's represent the end and we send men up that it happens again six decades of political suppression. they have been denying religious cultural and language right china has placed restrictions on foreigners including journalists visitors to bet when you go back to those you know six years ago the cia was actually involved training people radio operatives who were dropped back into tibet to kind of stir up trouble so from the chinese perspective they don't look on for they don't see that foreigners are necessarily bringing gifts. regarded as something that is only means trouble and probably more headaches for beijing.

china says it's held sovereignty over tibet for centuries it describes the dalai lama as a separatist supporters of the dalai lama say he doesn't want independence just more autonomy for tibet what we see now is just a different kind of repression. making short britons can't communicate we feature of protest this sort of suffocating it was fear on sunday the streets of tibet may stay quiet while demands for tibetan independence are heard around the world rob matheson al-jazeera. specializes in modern chinese history at georgetown university and he says that china has invested a lot in tibet that tibetans want to be treated as equals. there's a lot of new stuff around the streets the infrastructure is beautiful people are living in apartment buildings in many of the new urban centers of tibet and the neighboring provinces and chin high gansu or sichuan life is getting better in many

ways and the people's republic of china has made enormous investments in the economy and in the infrastructure however course there is a but involved here if you are a tibetan citizen of the people's republic of china you don't feel like an equal citizen with your right hand chinese colleagues or friends so a lot of the things that really matter to get to to that ends like education the size of their families family planning their careers the job opportunities for their children just who they interact with when they go to a government office and want to get something done. they definitely feel very pessimistic. very it's an unpleasant experience and they feel like they don't have a lot of control or or decision making power over their lives i think the primary goal of most about ns would be to receive more respect from the chinese state tax fully. receive the privileges which are guaranteed to them by the chinese

constitution the only place where real pressure can be exerted on the chinese government is by hand chinese themselves by the by the larger domestic audience within china who on occasion have come to care if i deeply about tibet so if people across china chinese scholars academics politicians average people in places like shanghai gong show you know beijing come to feel like you know tibetans deserve a better shake they might exert a certain amount of pressure on the chinese government to change things back to the breaking news we told you about earlier from ethiopia the boeing seven three seven max a takeoff with one hundred fifty seven people on board which is crash the ethiopian airlines plane had left the capital addis ababa bound for nairobi kenya when it disappeared from radar tobias rico is an aviation consultant he's the director of a dive co advance aviation consulting he joins us now live from via skype from

hamburg bus good to have you with us so the second accident in what less than six months involving a brand new boeing seven three seven max eight croft what do you make of it. well of course at this time of the situation it's pretty early to to get a good idea what's happened however it's very interesting that a seven thirty seven makes again which was affected by a rash of calls the first ideas that we have about the same cause as with the line air crash which we had a couple of months ago. that we had obviously a problem of the m.k.s. the maneuvering characteristics of mention system. which are void stall situations off the craft and boeing already announced a software update obviously this fall it was still on the craft.

i mean is there an inherent problem do you think with with this this aircraft i mean if with i mean as you say it's early days we don't know what's happened to this aircraft it could be something completely unrelated to the the aircraft systems that are in place but it is the same aircraft that the pilots have been flying for decades it's a seven three seven most of us afloat aboard one of those and there are new systems on board this aircraft the pilots do have to deal with that. yes definitely that makes us the latest version of the seven started seven. it has a system which bridge short awards situations especially in climbing off the up craft in the outer off gets too slow. and caste system simply automatically. pushed all of the most of the out craft. so avoid should avoid a crash however we load lower days from the lined up crash from indonesia from some

months ago the us a system has a soft glitch and rolls all the new software system on those possibly the new software brushed off this for the system wasn't wrote all it was a truck and our craft lol this will be a huge blow for ethiopian wanted i mean they've got one of the youngest fleets in the world well it's a blow for the european but i think it's more of a blow for boeing because the latest model has a software glitch which cause us to crash and we had to crash with them two months time this is a real mess what boeing all right good took you to bias many thanks indeed for being with us thank you very much for having us there the head of the un's refugee agency has been experiencing firsthand what life is like for syrians who fled the fighting for the program they visited refugees in lebanon says that the u.n.

will 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 aid worker says the says that security is the

main issue preventing syrians returning home. they're thinking about going home. most of them want to go back to their home around seventy percent of the syrians in the region and countries around syria hosting the refugees around five point six million of them are hosted in the neighboring countries of syria want to go back eighty eight percent of those and lebanon want to go back but they cannot go back at the moment when we ask them about their you know ability to move in the next six months or a year this percentage drops significantly and for valid reasons things are not yet clear when it comes to ensuring security back home thirty percent of the housing stock is destroyed the economy is in very dire situation in syria the syrian pound has lost eight hundred percent of its value so there's a lot of question marks that are being asked by the syrians in the region at the

moment in the countries hosting them but they clearly the security question that needs to be you know sort and they they need to make do get assurances that when they go back home they're not going to get into the gate or maybe get checked or maybe you know taken into the prison tunisia's health minister has resigned following the sudden deaths of eleven babies within twenty four hours at the same public hospital the health ministry says that early indications suggest a blood infection was the course a treatment center for a bowl of victims in the eastern democratic republic of congo has been attacked for the third time in a month the clinic was targeted hours before a visit by the head of the world health organization some congolese blame foreign aide workers for spreading the virus. go for reports. soldiers

hello welcome to rewind i'm richelle carey since al jazeera english launched more than a decade ago we have built up an extraordinary archive of award winning documentary here on rewind returning to some of the best of them finding out what's happened in the years sense back in two thousand and nine millions of americans were celebrating a new president in the white house promising radical change and a better future president obama inspired the entire nation no more so than in baltimore or over sixty percent are african-american and violent crime and drug related deaths have been on the rise for decades but what became of all that optimism in the years following obama's election in two thousand and twelve al jazeera faultlines went to baltimore to find out his baltimore anatomy of an american city.

through the outskirts of baltimore. and at his home in northeast baltimore. he was twenty seven. today his family and friends are burying him. while the us homicide rate overall is stable. those involving black youths have risen. faultlines is in the city of baltimore to try to find out why in the inner city neighborhoods of obama's america. life for so many young african-american men

continues to be a fight for survival. our cities stubborn homicide count which is lowest level since ninety seven. thank you and we know that these crimes are the ones that gave us a bad reputation as a dangerous place and for too long instilled the deep seated fear that drove families away baltimore's man stephanie rawlings blake is delivering her annual state of the city address it's not time to celebrate a combative the population of baltimore the largest city in the state of maryland has been shrinking for decades. man rawlings blake wants to grow it again by ten thousand families within the next ten years there's let there be no doubt the state of our city is now better safer and stronger.

and one for all the talk of the climbing crime rates ultimo is still one of the deadliest cities or united states still talking about it. it's one forty five pm and the man has been shot. just what about another shooting incident in the city of baltimore so we're on our way to the crime scene now or listening to the police got to find out exactly where answered place was also messages sent out on twitter by the baltimore police department. police photographers forensic officers and detectives work to investigate the scene the bullet casings and marks that a. victim here was shot in the back seat the paramedics got off him before he was taken away tossed people have been taken away and everything. the pace of violence

in baltimore can feel relentless. almost every day off is up another shooting. today a couple minutes before it in all these did come out but a bad enough that he left a car running down. star sheen and i see bullets hit the victim he fell in front of the chinese are still. at it if i had. to shoot a state out here sit in an area that he didn't like i say this incident could have been avoided but. this neighborhood is very close to downtown baltimore and there was. shooting incident here west six shots were fired and the police are being called out this is the third shooting that we heard about in twenty four hours and beams of the crime scenes here in the city of baltimore.

today illegal guns drugs in the states hit number one target for law enforcement. the baltimore police department has invited us to walk the streets with them. don't tori's for drugs notorious for drugs. but as many people use you see said now it is always one person with a gun but you want to stop the drug dealing as well right i do but i would rather stop the killing not that the drug dealing isn't bad. but the violence and most of the arrests you make must be for drug offenses very well at this point now but again. that's not the goal scorer fellas i don't want to be. the man since it's the strategy of targeting illegal guns that seem the murder rate dropped to the lowest figures in over three decades anybody have id on to try to figure out how they get in the hands of kids or how they get into the hands of bad guys if the numbers of murders are down in baltimore and i don't know but if they

are. that i would not describe ascribe that to a changing program ed burns is the former baltimore to texas and school teacher who went on to write the hit television series the wire we're not dealing with the root causes. so if you lock up a person with a gun there's a kid coming behind him he's going to pick up that gun it's an endless cycle the population in baltimore is way down all right so if the population is down your numbers are down and we've gotten rid reductions and violence at the same time reducing the number of arrests which tells me that are targeted approach of targeting our most violent offenders is what will make the difference but one the focus is on guns man rulings blake says drug crime will continue to be targeted to i don't know we're never going to be at a place as long as there are people selling illegal drugs on the street whether they're illicit drugs or prescription drugs you know we will enforce that those

laws. you say we want to get rid of and then once the post is. in combat. they can live in public housing and they can't get health they can't get the job so how do they live. and you should know a convicted murderer dony used to rob drug dealers for a living. he and his nephew dante who's a former dealer said some of the neighborhoods both kids are growing up in feel like conflict zones this is. one. of the. shootouts. that's what it feels like. with the war. don't take going to dealing drugs after an injury ended his hopes of becoming a basketball player you know. when i was there was.

my back and i lay. over. so there's always been a recession and right it always been a recession it can mean that's why we go we will go to the first day we lost the. state easy as quick a thing of. which you go into which you go want to add in a slowing animal or defense then. don't same his friends say the environment they've grown up in makes it difficult to imagine another way of life so thanks. so. a lot of favs gone. nobody had a god given so he turned to all the negative there's nobody to get. the blame for that dante friends say shouldn't only be attributed to those sucked into the drug business one of the few multi-million dollar industries the city still has left most of the government they like best and that's just why you so. don't want to

release down here. you for because that's the only place is really going. baltimore wasn't always a city in decline. it was once a shipping powerhouse. one of the largest seaports of the mid atlantic states. and a major center of industrial manufacturing. in the late sixty's baltimore had intercedes like bethlehem steel huge ship building and a very active war neill franklin is a retired police major who spent thirty four years in law enforcement has seen the decay firsthand late sixties early seventies mainly started leaving baltimore industry started leaving going overseas were ever it ended up just wasn't here in baltimore anymore but it was also around that time that richard nixon decided that he was going to start a war. against public enemy number one drugs but it was president ronald reagan who

turned that rhetorical war into a literal one you have to show they do have a criminal problem so how do you do that rest at a time when drug crime was actually on the decline not on the rise we went crazy arresting people for crack cocaine because of this. so-called epidemic that incarceration rates began to just saw off the charts and we just put tons of black people. from our inner city. unguardedly no. more arrests meant more federal money. it's a system that still exists today in the form of federal stimulus and the u.s. department of justice grants for crime control and community policing. it's not a war and drops don't don't ever think it's wrong. it's a war on the blacks it started as

a war on the blacks and has now spread to hispanics and poor whites additionally it was war blocks and. it was designed basically to take that energy it was coming out of the civil rights movement and destroy it we have all would tell me i'm people reckon. makes ten year we have ten more me and i knew more maybe i mean come on then we got to stop at some point say you know what you know people saying then we had to fight for rehabilitation for chances for people to save for opportunity. according to a two thousand and three report from the bureau of justice currency conservation rates remain unchanged one in three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime even in the age of obama something akin to a caste system is alive and well and. erica the mass incarceration of poor people of color is tantamount to

a new castle specifically designed to address the social political and economic challenges of our time michelle alexander is a law professor who says that the disproportionate numbers of black people in prison in america today is akin to a new system of social control comparable to slavery she says that while president obama has made some positive steps like signing legislation that reduced sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine where it really counts obama has not broken from the past but the reality is a drug control budget looks much like the bush administration's the ratio of funding invested in enforcement as opposed to prevention or drug treatment is about the same as the bush administration this is where it's not his real name he's agreed to talk to us if we disguise his identity. has been a drug dealer and a gang member he's currently awaiting trial charged with attempted murder. gruesome

. along. with. might be a man walking the streets before tomorrow's rush. limbaugh's drug operation is on hold while he's out of jail on pretrial supervision one way that maryland has dealt with overcrowding of the prison system is the reason he deals is simple and he does it because he says it's the only way he knows to support his family and guns just a tool of the trade islam is amusing to me because this is this is the lives that are probably sixty years old so i'm amused with incentives if you live in a mining town you would go into the coal mines as this is all you know and this is all they know so they're going into this where they know the danger is there you know but what they what they have is no choice and

the way the game is rigged they can't win i mean the number of guys that actually survive the corner to get into mid-level drug dealers so they can get away from the corner they're few and far between hopefully i could be in a position where in a better position one of the. some positive i have nothing to do i'm either going to do it when i know. when i was. growing up in a poor neighborhood in baltimore means the olds a stacked against you. and so we have a school to prison pipeline operating in baltimore and other cities across the nation where young people believe with some good reason that their destiny lies behind bars and they too will become members at the end or cast the most probably their having children who will most children remain children. with occasional i would think you mean. is there was a. mom oh was that sal was you had you know.

a moment tell me see hating me. you know in the get out of the source kill me. ted and. no one's thinking about like let's look at these these infants let's help these instance out let's help these mothers out so that these kids are raised in a healthy environment let's let's put the money there rather than put it into. the back you know twenty five thousand per prisoner per year in the federal system it's probably thirty some thousand per year that's what we're putting our money a lot of drugs in baltimore d.c. blumenthal. from the gun of. the end of the middle figures. streets partly for. the we don't have the family foundation. you definitely don't have seen. these kids are just chewed up

and spit out and they're broken they get the criminal record they can't get jobs you know they go to prison they come home same thing repeats itself until they find their bodies virtually break down and it was kind of comfortable because when we first come then. by all adults i do this around a. bad. bad experience. located in the very heart of the city the baltimore city detention center is one of the largest pretrial detention facilities in the united states hours and. i would think. it's intended for adults but on the harsh get tougher laws passed in maryland and some other states juveniles charged as adults also help a fifteen to

a room they held indoors for about twenty three hours a day. and to be thomas and was just sixteen years old when he was arrested for the robbery and charged as an adult. he was ultimately cleared of charges but while waiting five months for trial he wasn't attending school he was in baltimore city detention center that's not people. they were going to go crazy i guess people are now that you know once they got in there they wanted it more stuff and they would all want to. ban adults and that adults are gone and. i kind of thing is what you're supposed to do i kind of get it that. the u.s. department of justice agrees that spending nearly whole for years in a crumbling adult facility can violate anthony's constitutional rights. but the state's proposed solution is

a brand new one hundred million dollars jail for minors challenged as adults which the city plans to build on the science. and i stress is just as out there that i go to every day i'm just thinking about how last time that you can get people an hour in about that life band on the way. and if you grow up in. just going to keep going back so i don't think it was right for a kid to be in that situation. as we're preparing to leave baltimore we hear of yet another shooting. nobody this time. but the blood on the pavement is proof of the continuing cycle of violence. baltimore is a city that's still on the front line of the war on drugs when you walk through neighborhoods like this it's hard not to feel the legacy of the war these communities have been living through is so beyond the rhetoric anything short of

radical change one solve the problem. feels like it simply could take decades for these communities to recover. baltimore anatomy of an american city from two thousand and twelve since that film was made the level of violent crime in baltimore has continued to rise and two thousand and fifteen police and national guard were deployed on the streets after a young black man freddie gray died in police custody his death sparked violent protests and two thousand and seventeen alone three hundred forty three people were murdered making baltimore the most dangerous city in america so rewind returned recently to a snowy baltimore to find out how the people on the frontline are addressing the city's drug and crime problem.

ernest shaw i am forty eight years old. i'm an artist. and an educator in both. baltimore at one time was to her would happen to the country i was born on the tail end of that and lived as a teenager through the eighty's which was the credit at the dinner with this very day it was full. forty three years old. created the issue so. i learned that i was right so this was given to me by new shoes all followed it's basically the details of that. because this. i can assure you i was there my spine read three different cases you should see the top one here to see the one in the middle and there's one down the bottom. of a lot of this city this is world record in the book it will be cure world is with

my for but now i do good. very very need to say what it is. that this time i was already turned out to currency runs now i had a fifty seven and twenty three role so this is me just turn it forward seeing as a drug dealer this is my life my work. probably shot about skimpy. close friends who did not graduate from high school who are no longer with us were lost to the streets two weeks old my father went to prison he did fifteen years straight i met him when i went to prison at fifteen with fifteen years to say the least from four to eleven experience watching my mother shoot her and shoot. you know all the media the family aunts all. and.

a lot of people a lot of people get shot out of prison so a lot of bad a lot of life loss can remember bearings that were good of anything but us. i think the war or pennsylvania north is the most meaningful chose billie holiday because billie holiday dealt with addiction she had her demons and she was still in my successful in dealing while i was painting i'll be i'll be fully transparent. never seen in open a drug market like the drug market on that corner and it's a major third of. the it is obama was in the white house how did things change and was bold. they did so however long trump is going to be there how are things going to change in west baltimore now get i'm talking about specific communities i'm not talking about every people get sick and tired of being sick and what happened in

twenty fifteen was an uprising with a small portion of new. right after reading the great i called the seven the truth i'm nobody but for seven days there was no black or black shoot your real power is where you tell people not to shoot not we get people shot but you got to have power to tell five different games where the not going to shoot at me listen because no one knows any of these activist groups any of these companies can look me in my eyes and tell me to kill it like me and me did it like me and they sold like me in a good eighteen years in prison like my father. you have a large contingency in the community this disenchantment with politics they don't even pay attention to because they have day to day lives i'm not impacted by i believe obama did what he could i didn't have any evidence to his expectations of the first so-called black president but those folks won't really catch it now i'll

catch hell regardless of the press for this city to get better it starts when i start the game i have that only key because they all know where you're maybe more i don't rant they know i have their best interests they know from the streets they know i did exactly what they did i don't see peace i don't see stop the violence i don't see none of it i see if you really want it you decide where we use not to shoot it you decide would areas have suffered enough you decide wherever you a little girl got shot many were the traumatized so now put up no shoot so even deal with who are you going to get dealt with and they listen i'm a painter the support has got to what i do so i have to deal with the reality of life i can literally see the future of baltimore to the ass of my students and it does not look. that's it from this week's rewind if you want to catch up with the rest of the films in the series you can find them on the rewind

people on board has crashed the boeing seven three seven took off from the capital at a balance from nairobi in kenya it came down six minutes later near the town of. ethiopia where the prime minister tweeted that the office of the prime minister on behalf of the government and people of ethiopia would like to express its deepest condolences to the families those that have lost their loved ones on ethiopian airlines boeing seven three seven on a regular flight to nairobi kenya this morning where the crash jet is the latest version of the popular airline worldwide the boeing seven three seven max the fastest growing and on fleet in africa just four months ago it is the second seven three seven max to crash within the past five months edgett came down off the coast of indonesia and toba killing one hundred eighty nine people on board some of their relatives suing boeing and pilots have accused the american manufacturer of failing

to warn them how to operate a new automated stall prevention system well let's get more on this now we're joined by terry to. he's a former airline pilot and he's joining us live from edinburgh very good to have you with us on al-jazeera as we've been reporting second crash of a boeing seven three seven max in five months what did you think when you heard this mr toys a. well a good morning i'm supposed to my immediate thought was what you already referred to that this seven three seven eight hundred macs. and they're not entirely dissimilar excellent very recently and the automated systems have come in for quite a lot of control controversial discussion so you know it's always impossible to say anything very clear this same doctrine accident but i'm sure the investigators will be looking at that as

a matter of urgency as as we've mentioned the law on air crash wasn't a toyota and the families a so when boeing because they say they are they blaming the new automated flight control system they say boeing failed to disclose information to pilots was that. established as the cause of that crash and if so i mean that happened in october this plane was delivered to ethiopia airlines in the van but did was that addressed at all. well so far as i'm aware there are no changes so you know what boeing would have to comment on that on that particular aircraft i think the concerns that were raised by crews was the fact that this automated system was triggered by one single sense and it's normal in a relation to have a back up so you have redundancy so you have to in case one of those foresee

the other thing was that there wasn't enough information in the training process that is that is absolutely vital and rather shocking that it was provided. and so at the moment the focus is on boeing it's not very long after the crash but what about the airline itself as far as we know it european airlines has an extremely it's an extremely safe in line yes always had a good reputation it's not got a bad record has had a couple of instant this accident so immediately after that it's a cochlear ingesting large flocks of agents there it is immediately after takeoff i suppose what would happen instead of that as an option is to tell us thank you very much for your time on this for now that as a former pilot territory as a live in edinburgh. well let's get more on this we're joined by cost catherine saw she is live for us i believe in nairobi catherine what more are you

ones in the airline saying such and rescue operations going on no number of casualties has has been given yes and any information he has cancer and who was on the plane some of the one hundred fifty nine people on board. we don't have much information about that here there are few people who are here we spoke to for example who thought that. that flight had no information which flight son was coming in and when he came here he was asked by some of the people who were giving information what flight his son was on in the city. and they just. crashed but he's now learned that he was on the next flight so he's saying he's very relieved but he's also saying that many other. distraught just waiting for loved ones and elizabeth it's also important to note that tomorrow is

very important to start un conference here at the united nations environment assembly is going to be starting for some delegates who are coming in so it's going to be interesting to see whether some of. that flight but it's a very unfortunate thing that it's a very big trying to do something that has not happened. in this region catherine thank you very much for that for now that's catherine soy the latest information that we do have live thank you. let's move on to other news from now in parts of venezuela remain without electricity as another power intensifies mass rallies have been held for and against president. he's blaming the power and telecoms blackout on what he called and to national cyber attack and a coup attempt. has been defeated the opposition to lead a nationwide march. stories and there. it was

a protest territory in the capital. thousands responded to opposition leader call to take over. an area that's been off limits for the op. decision because it has been traditionally controlled by supporters of the i a free though to me it was among those trying to convince the police to join in the protest was we want them to join us because we're the people not the government we're 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 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 can't remember if i said this haven't you and now they're trying to make it till the end of this road where they're supposed to meet opposition leader i want to write about their savings as

you can see here that if i have any nationality god gods i doubt that i was 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. arrived hours later begging venezuelans not to lose hope i was we've said it before but 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 of 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 and i'm tired imperialist protests close to the presidential palace. blame the opposition and the united states for the power cuts . they were conducting highly scientific energy attacks with advanced technology. experts called electromagnetic attacks against the transmission lines to generate interruptions in the process of national reconnection. 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. had access. to algeria now where students are the government's order to close universities want to turn them from demanding the resignation of president with

a flicker now official reasons being given for campuses being shot on sunday two weeks before spring break is due to start a youth are playing a leading role in the biggest protests in nearly thirty years eighty two year old jeffrey cannot to run for a fifth term and william long is a professor at george washington university and he believes the government's closure of universities is counterproductive. it's a poor decision and it will likely backfire there is about one point seven million university students and a little over six hundred thousand of those live in university housing to the idea was if you close the housing and sent them home maybe their parents will rent them from joining protests but if you know anything about students when there is a mass mobilization of students going on in the campuses literally letting out into the streets students cutting classes and joining protests the likelihood that the parents will be able to prevent the students from joining these the ever growing

protests is very unlikely so in fact one point seven university students were just told you're on vacation.
