in the united states will be looking good for a carefully at the investigation into this crash to discover exactly what did happen myanmar for instance has stopped flying the aircraft others haven't air fiji or fiji airlines has to know max aircraft in three more coming this year it has essentially said it is confident in its aircraft understand i'll training and will continue to fly them virgin australia has failed to have the aircraft on order. the moment is saying it's not making any decisions on that order until he has more details of what happened so there's going to be a bit of a mixed reaction around the world but there are a lot of max's flying and a lot of airlines will ground them until they find out exactly what the situation is. or than one thousand down derian judges say they will not monitor their productions if president up there as these beautifully contests in the polls the group has formed the splinter organization to protest against his campaign for

presidency algerian state television has reported the eighty two year old president has returned home he's been out for a week for two weeks rather they return to a country rocked by protests for the guy to go has more after a two week stay at a swiss hospital abilities beautifully coas apparently back in algeria according to a statement from his office pictures an algerian t.v. showing what is reportedly the president's motorcade driving from the airport this is perhaps the most challenging episode input of his twenty year rule a seismic moment in the country's recent history with little sign of diminishing if algeria is authorities still closing the universities early would stop the protest it would appear to have been a miscalculation we are protesting against a fifth presidential term of president putin enough is enough in a country desperate for jobs anger at the unemployment rates and corruption has

been growing especially since protests began three weeks ago students are debating . throughout universities to talk about the solution and to talk about their. students are aware and fortunately aware of the situation and they are taking the right the right and measures to to to avoid the weakening of the moment but it's not just the students who are voicing their anger a partial strike across the country is also under way at expected to last five days at the center of it all this man president abdelaziz bouteflika who has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke in two thousand and thirteen but this decision to stand for a fifth time. upcoming elections have galvanized opposition in the country and while he's offered to limit his term in office after the election promised change how algeria is run it's not competent press and so prompt questions of whether

bouteflika is being used as a puppet candidate by a faction of civilian and military because in a country that largely managed to sidestep the arab spring protests the rallies are a reminder that it's not immune to the discontent that sparked the sudden i echo al-jazeera. booker is a research fellow at the school of advanced studies in social sciences she joins us now by skype from algis good to have you with us given the statements from the ruling national liberation front from the army did we do believe that would actually cause days may now be numbered. well the time to move him out of the opportunity that she had to return is not going to make any difference. how does feeling that is to make and there is

a huge this chance also among the people on the side that that there have been. spreading all over. there but they're also going to even maybe not a little less. oh what the algerian people are now beyond which you can really now it's about half the states getting rid of the regime and it's showing trying to have the not in article for the army to negotiate a chop and so that transition. glad you mentioned that point so what you think the next move by the civilian elites the military really will be if it sounds like they may not want to completely let go of power if there won't be a complete transition to democracy there was another sort of figurehead

another if you can hear me i was asking what might the next step of the civilian and military elite be yeah i'm proud of is now to get desperate and that's the army's past and now i know nobody's talking about it yet and then all the talk a lot of you know like i'm going to shoot other than get an idea how to read that and nobody's willing to post anymore. now what is going on that people are going out and seeing them back to look a little is known to all of the sion are to have no committee and they have been forbidden by the people to work to china and fought to imagine

a new kind of competition what is going on now is we know you. people are trying to get a different issues different thing yes as each one thinks of this addiction as in a wild child. so i know quite well even that charlie is not the author of the company in just one of the main children all of the gas company decided to form of the tribe but the side that's not its national battle how the people are going to call the night with the child or whether or not i'm expecting whiskey o'clock to come with the way forward. or write them a walk over there thanks so much. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including overnight bombing on the u.s. banks forces resume operations to capture syria's the last ice a long. and serena williams long awaited return to tennis is cut short we'll have the details coming up later in sport.

the refugees have traveled to geneva from bangladesh to address the un human rights council the un special rapporteur is also due to deliver a report on a visit to cox's bazaar refugee camp last month it's home to almost one million who have been forced to escape from the violence in neighboring me and mark. well stephanie decker joins us now live from cox it was all in bangladesh there's been a number of international investigations what sort of conclusions do expect the un to be reaching at this point. also i mean i literally just been told it seems the special rapporteur has already been briefing the human rights council in geneva mentioning a couple of points one of them of course is that the return of the ranger two million mark must be established they need to have compensation for property that

was lost or confiscated from the government she expressed concern about bangladesh's plans to relocate them twenty three thousand of the remainder to an island called baton charges non-operative island and that comes with all kinds of question mark she said she was concerned about that that will have to happen on a voluntary basis is also expressed concern about a deal between ian moore and bangladesh to see the return of the reigning god now that's been put on hold in the past because the un says certainly there's no guarantee just what situation will come to safety people will go back so i can tell you speaking to people here sami there's around a million rangle living in camps in cox's these are the biggest refugee camps in the world they will tell you the only thing they want to do is to return home but they need to be guaranteed their safety and their identity more importantly to the person not given any id card by the government now there's also an interesting thing that the us been saying that they are just to be referred to the

international criminal court they have that is that they can be actually the i.c.c. that of course is the body that could technically put charges against the government in future we wrap all that up in the report let's take a listen. to a large tree is a reminder of the sick extensive forests it stood here just eighteen months ago now uprooted to make way for hundreds of thousands of ringa the two forced from their land this is now the biggest refugee camp in the world. jamila katun fled me in mar in august two thousand and seventeen during the military crackdown on the right kind state she says of course she wants to go home but only if there is peace what they skate from she remembers was terrifying and others of. our next door neighbors husband and wife they were killed which is why we left how can we go back at least if we die here as a muslim will be allowed to have a proper funeral but if we die there will just be thrown away. she was part of

a mass exodus into neighboring bangladesh as well as the united nations accusing the me and my military of burning homes abductions rapes and murder almost one million wrangle a parent are each with an individual story of horrific violations of the law and now the band two hearts stretch as far as the eye can see in every direction this is a makeshift city built out of human tragedy and there is now an international push to find out what happened and who is responsible. the international criminal court has sent a team to the camp as part of what it calls a preliminary examination they did not want to be filmed preferring to keep their first visit here low profile the un special rapporteur yankee levy was in cox's bazaar in january but it's the visit of the i.c.c. that could eventually lead to charges against the me i'm our government justice is

something everyone here wants including twenty year old muhammad who says he worries he is losing his life here but going back for him has conditions. we need the id cards we need them to recognize us as running is also our mothers and sisters were raped we want justice from the i.c.c. they have to give us back our land and properties which were confiscated. mohammed like so many of the other refugees was born in me and maher with no papers no official status not officially recognized the medium our government says they are bengali muslims despite their families having been in myanmar for generations all want to return home but many say they know it will be a difficult and long journey. given what so we just heard in your report that given the monsoon season isn't too far away are people prepared for what's coming.

i think in a nutshell not really the hope of that the amount of people here almost a million people i mean the reality get locked in that huge number of families are very difficult for all the easier to deal with the way view these sort of bamboo hut are built very hilly area the very prone to landslides one of the main concerns of what they're doing now in preparation for the monsoon which starting next month is trying to reinforce some of these of these structures if you will and that we were think today if you have these houses are built on sand bags with the authorities are ready are voting from people it's like you pass down you plan to try and keep these structures in touch but the reality is this that if you look all around you here if there are a trench will rain and it is very easy for a lot of the structures to be taken away by the flood so some new camps have been built with more sort of weather proof. if you will but again these are the challenges and the reality is that they're not going home anytime soon families so

it is going to be challenging it is always something that results in injuries in fatalities in that one thing that the ages are trying to avoid but i think realistically we also have you ever meet a huge challenge because of the violent of the weather during that season. and so much doesn't either. now forces aligned with libya's u.n. recognize government have been called to defend the northern city of service from an advance by warlords. and his fighters afters libyan national army is backed by the united arab emirates and egypt it's less than forty kilometers from sirte five thousand troops aligned to the tripoli based government are due to start arriving in service on monday to bolster defenses more that joins us now live from tripoli so there's a look like on the verge of a major clash now is that where we're heading. well.

commanders of the and in most wars forces that is the government force of the forces allied with the e.u. and backed the government of national accord have just declared a state of alert and general mobilization to their fighters are under five thousand fighters of alban yellow muscles with their various weapons have been told to move toward the city of around two hundred fifty kilometers to the eastern was from the city of misrata to defend what they call or to stand up to what they call any aggression from have to force and that is following their move by a small detached detachment going to have to his forces and i wonder for forty kilometers to the east in the south was from the city of said it yesterday have to as forces reach it the town of ball had the south of said it would yellow muscles forces say that these are approved provocative acts from have to the forces and

a kind of propaganda because have their forces have just tried to pull that existence near said it taken pictures and videos and posting them directly on social media to short people according to our. commanders to show the people that they can advance towards the city of sit it now i've been yelling muscles forces say that they will face up to have to us forces and they say that despite the fact that they have a peace agreement would have to the forces to stay. each side should stay in their locations but they say that their forces are on high alert and they can stand up to have to his forces at any moment sami or if they so much work more than one. all right it's time for all of the weather let's catch up with what's going on everton well sammy over the last couple of days of course me keeping a close sada tropical cyclone in the mozambique channel it is intensifying going to

see some damaging winds and flooding rains over the next couple of days one blast of the satellite picture shows you really quite clearly where our system is swirling away here long line of clouds but aska mozambique and malawi will see further the showers flooding rains big downpours over the next couple of days is the situation with the storm it is staggering its way across the mozambique channel movement just around four kilometers per hour so i really is quite a stumble along there we're looking at some very powerful winds and by the time it makes landfall sometime around thursday into friday it could be the equivalent of a category four hurricane on the atlantic scale big downpours coming through hundred seventy two millimeters of rain recently just over the last twenty four hours and some of these areas could see something similar over the next few days actually so that's a concern for madagascar at the moment but it will not see its way further westwards gradually pushing towards that east coast of mozambique so heavy showers

along the spells of frank continue to drive away and across a similar area that's tuesday's picture you go on into wednesday and you can see has this really just stumbling around randomly eventually pushing up towards that's east coast with flooding for a good part of this week sammy. thank so much oh so well still ahead here al jazeera. protesters in moscow rally against a proposed law they say will make the internet like the curtain back on track a friendship train almost derailed because of recent tensions between india and pakistan. is on the move again and in smaller stronger wraps is one win away from breaking a frank challenge rockhold action probably and death. is

a popular filming location in france when it comes to stories about trucks crime and radicalization tired of negative stereotypes interpreted zanny tyranny is we claiming its image by putting its young brazilian behind the camera. this truth be don't often hear told by the people who the down. this is you are out on al-jazeera. isn't the problem for your town that they may not have a health question mark over him but he does have a crush in question mark or really doesn't look good for the image that a picture is not going to do any will probably not knowing that is going to tell you where you get why there's a lot of disillusionment with the u.n. across the globe to follow that is called for and then breaks doesn't build confidence or break spoke to join me mad the hot sun on up front as my guests from around the world take the hot seat and we debate the week's top stories and think issues here on al-jazeera.

back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines now just a day after a plane crash killed everyone on board ethiopia and china have grounded their entire fleet of the boeing seven three seven max aircraft the ethiopian airlines plane crashed just outside the town of show off two on sunday it went down minutes after taking off from the capital on its way to nairobi all one hundred forty nine passengers and eight crew were killed more than one thousand algerian judges say they will not most of the april actions if these beautifully contests the poles the

group has formed the splinter organization to protest against beautifully because campaign for presidency algerian state television has reported the eighty two year old president has returned home after a two week absence forces aligned with libya's u.n. recognized government have been called to defend the northern city of sirte from advance while warlords. and his fighters libyan national army is backed by the united arab emirates and egypt less than forty kilometers from. iran's president hassan rouhani has arrived in iraq for his first official visit president rouhani is in baghdad to convince leaders to defy the u.s. president trump administration is giving iraq a few more months to continue buying oil and electricity from iran fourteen forces sanctions against iran that are going to aim joins us now from baghdad and

this comes at a very crucial time for iran's economy doesn't it. it sure does sammy the clock is ticking this on may fifth the united states gave iraq a waiver meeting it could continue to purchase electricity and oil from iran but that expires on may fifth and after that it's unclear what iraq will do on the iranian front this comes as you said at a delicate moment for president rouhani since the united states reimpose saying sions last year the economy has continued to deteriorate and he is facing pressure from within there of even been calls for his ouster so he comes to iraq with the hope of bolstering economic ties between iraq and iran and with the hope of sending a clear message to the united states that this relationship between the two countries is if you will and shakable is the result of actually centuries of

political economic and religious ties iraq relies on iran for most of his electricity and oil needs after years of conflict it can no longer produce enough for its own people for political ties iran helped back militias that helped defeat eisel and on the religious front these are two shii led governments and iran has a heavy influence in iraq the politics. does have a lot of influence inside iraq let's talk a little bit about what this visit means you could say delicate political balancing act. well as one political analyst put it sami iraq is in an untenable position iran and the united states are its two biggest allies and now it's facing pressure from the united states in fact president trump said last year

that he was interested in keeping a military presence in iraq to quote spy on iran now iraq relies heavily with trade in iran they're hoping as part of the visit that they're going to ink as much as eight billion dollars worth of trade deals in the coming year they want to continue to boost their political cooperation which they both say will help fortify the security and prosperity of the region but as one political analyst said iraq is now doing a delicate dance it does not want to anger either of its allies and also though on the iranian front understands all too well the crippling effect of what it's like to live under u.s. sation so it's clearly going to be very sympathetic to iran on this front but the bottom line is both leaders are sending a message to the united states in these next three days with this visit that they are united and they will continue to be united and it's worth noting sammy that

this is only the second time that an iranian president has visited iraq war and so much in social name that a call to malaysia has freed a suspect accused of killing kim jong il the a strange tough brother of north korean leader kim jong il and in a surprise development prosecutors withdrew the charge against. an indonesian national on monday but of in the maze citizen remains on trial for the murder reports from sholom where the proceedings took place. after two years in detention in malaysia city ayesha is now a free woman she had been on trial for killing kim jong nam the half brother of north korean leader kim jong il at the start of the hearing on monday the prosecutor asked that the murder charge against him be dropped and no reason was given the judge has granted her a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. and it was then that i feel so

happy i didn't text back that i would be released today a big thank you to president dear care widow day and all the ministers of the indonesian embassy who appointed the lawyers from malaysia also of course thank you to the malaysian government for releasing me city ayesha says the first thing she's going to do when she returns home to indonesia is see her family the indonesian government fought hard for her freedom indonesia's law minister had written to the malaysian attorney general arguing that city had been used as an intelligence tool of north korea city's lawyer said there wasn't enough evidence to convict her there was no direct evidence that she had played anything on you don't know a as you can see from the c.c.t.v. recording. what was the only fall was nearly traces of. degrading yanks and that alone is only very is the company that still leaves don t. hong the vietnamese suspect in the dock her case has been adjourned until thursday

following a request by her lawyers they too are seeking for the charges against her to be dropped. the thrust of the defense arguments for city ayesha and dawn has been the same that they did not know they were taking part in a murder plot they've said they thought they were recruited to take part in a reality t.v. show. defense lawyers say the two women were mere pawns in a politically motivated med for north korean men the alleged masterminds and identified by malaysian police as suspects in the case left malaysia just hours after kim was killed who ordered kim's death and why remains a mystery florence to al jazeera. malaysia. people across japan are paying tribute to the victims of the two thousand and eleven earthquake and tsunami which caused the nuclear meltdown at fukushima prime minister shinzo albion japan's prince and princess led the commemoration eight years on since the disasters that

killed more than fifteen thousand people of orators continue to deal with the cleanup some of the water used to call the nuclear reactor is still contaminated and more than fifty thousand people remain displaced. but as well as government has suspended the schools rather and business is the worst blackout in decades continues electricity has been off and on in the capital but many other areas have been without power since the eldridge started on thursday to raise about reports from caracas. for three days venezuela has been affected by power cuts. now that people have taken their frustration to the streets and started to block roads in the capital caracas. the people of venezuela are only asking for alex tricity and water we don't have food the food is rotten in the refrigerator there's no food or water. the situation has polarized the population between those who want

to protest and those who don't. but then supporters of arrived some with their face covered and armed thank you and try to find out her role here and the fanfare all for the better than government supporters mostly known as people which are basically told that the ford model came here and removed everything they were using to block the road. one of their leaders. said he won't allow anyone to generate chaos. they want to shut down the road and open them without distinction those people want to destroy everything and we will be harder on them just watch. the collectables are like a paramilitary force they have more power than the police and have become a significant force on the street defending the revolution and the tearing protesters. there was a market nearby that merchants were forced to leave because of

a tension in the area and people rushed to grab anything they could. joy leaf is only eight and was one of them we asked her if this was the only food she had to eat she said yes. water has also become a major issue people in the neighborhood have left the media has been without running water for a month they have to wait for hours to feel in their containers. the government is not providing basic public services like water and electricity and so many other things. the government says the latest power cut was an act of sabotage and struggling to restore electricity. but the power continues to go down venezuelans are already struggling with an enormous economic crisis the power outage is only making the situation worse.
