yes it was the max we have seen all parts of algerian society i assure you wants to get in we are already determined and our desire is strong and our doors are open to discuss and exchange vision i put it like a government says it will keep the protesters demands but demonstrators say that we is a beautiful. and the political system has been manipulated to allow the president and his backers to stay in power one step forward would be to reveal now who is. one of the persons who have been removed from his into arised i mean this is brother still running the show. are the security people serving this show or the new prime minister really a person who has authority. i the protestors fear the government is saying it will listen but nothing will change you know jeering i got my office and i'll just . i mean al jazeera live from london more still ahead for you. a is only

7:35 am
you'll notice the clouds tossed a trip in there from science that's not particularly warm side there's a repeat performance those been a few big shots and then tropical queens in and around darwin and further west they're little bit less obvious than they were largely because the energies i think being dumped recently have a ton of the cloud just the edge of your screen here drifting down from the north is the picture for both islands of new zealand usually as a warm direction this is no exception to the cloud takes away some of the sunshine that should be dispersed but i think sunday looks sunny both birth and science on and surprised in the average temperature this time the if is a partner is four degrees it is forty three s. and the snow forecast inland on saturday. on the count of the course this week he's on a mission to save the into that we'll talk to tim berners leave events of the world

wide web and look at what chevy a safari called has to be up with china's biggest e-commerce company comes in the cost. of. a comeback our developing story throughout the day forty nine people have been killed in an attack on two mosques in the new zealand city of christchurch twenty eight year old australian brenton tarrant has just appeared in court charged with
7:37 am
one count. the charges are expected. also for the fourth consecutive friday thousands of protesters have gathered in algeria demanding regime change and in the immediate departure of president abdul aziz bush fifty. well in all the stories we're following u.s. president donald trump has vetoed a measure by congress that would have ended his declaration of a national emergency to fund his wall along the southern border with mexico mike hanna has more on this now from washington. well the veto came as no surprise in fact minutes after the senate vote of disapproval president trump was treating one word veto what happens now is that the resolution will go back to the house where it will again be debated however congressional leaders are well aware that they will not have the two thirds majority in either house or senate that would be required to overturn president tram's veto so for the time being and for the foreseeable future the emergency regulation and made by president trump to get
7:38 am
funding for his wall remains in place but there is a political issue that still lingers and that is the fact that a number of republicans crossed the floor to vote with democrats registering their disapproval certainly many republicans concerned not necessarily about the immigration issue which is the basis of president trumps state of emergency but rather at the executive overreach that they believe president trumps emergency signifies a weekly protest along the gaza israel fence have been perspire and hours after israeli airstrikes hit the proceed strip israeli military says some one hundred have massed targets were struck early on friday it was in response to a rare rocket attack on the israeli city of tel aviv the rocket fire was the first to target israeli city since twenty fourteen exchange of fire is raising fears of an escalation of the conflict. what happens is the new israeli aggression
7:39 am
against gaza out a tweet a series of its crimes including the main one of the continuation of the siege of the gaza strip our people will continue their struggle to break the siege despite this aggression the resistance is ready to defend its people and is committed to calm as long as the occupation is. well the war in syria might be starting to wind down but it's certainly not over eight years into the conflict millions of people feel they have no place in a country run by bashar assad and hold reports from beirut in neighboring lebanon. eighty years of human suffering. syrians continue to bury their children. sixteen year old muhammad and his fourteen year old sister ali were killed in government artillery strikes. we buried them in a mass grave i didn't see them because it would be unbearable they were burned no flesh nor burns. my.
7:40 am
there is an active frontline between the government and opposition in the southern countryside of rebel controlled where a ceasefire should be in place. was instead almost two hundred civilians have been killed since the beginning of the year. thousands have been forced to flee in recent weeks adding to the millions already displaced many of them displaced multiple times. the bombardment forced us to leave our home in the northern countryside of homes we escaped and used homes. we had to move from the front lines and there is nowhere safe but. there is little peace even in government controlled territories where rights groups report arbitrary arrests and a return to repressive rule so-called reconciliation agreements in four opposition
7:41 am
held areas are not being respected. the most recent cases were documented were six civil defense volunteers with the time for no reason there are many other cases where people are afraid to provide information because they fear the intelligence services. the absence of the rule of law and accountable security agencies or some of the reasons why syrians were belled in two thousand and eleven the regime refused reforms back then and chose to crackdown pushing the opposition to take up arms. the syrian president is still refusing demands for change the international community wants bashar assad to engage in a credible political process that would lead to a new constitution and free elections but political reform would mean giving up power and the syrian leadership is unlikely to hand over what it didn't lose on the battlefield. for us the war has been won
7:42 am
some countries have already started to normalize ties with his government but much of the international community accepted until political reforms are in place. and there remains the problem in the north of the country much of which is not controlled by the government and is being fought over by the beni interested parties and the millions who live there can't and won't return to syria for them the war is far from over. beirut north korea might be considering suspending talks with the u.s. and restarting missile a nuclear bomb test vice foreign minister chose on we says the north has no intention of yielding to us denuclearization demands he's blaming the u.s. secretary of state and national security adviser for the breakdown of last month's summit between donald trump and leader kim jong il and light pompei o and john bolton are accused of creating an atmosphere of hostility and mistrust but has
7:43 am
denied this saying the u.s. hopes to continue denuclearization talks with north korea. with respect to what was said last night about chairman kim potentially considering ending the moratorium i can say only this in hanoi on multiple occasions he spoke directly to the president and made a commitment that he would not resume nuclear testing nor would he resume missile testing so does jimmy kimmel's words we have every expectation that he will live up to that commitment. i want to take you back to the new zealand city of christchurch now where andrew thomas is standing by with some developments relating to a court appearance by the suspect andrew what do we know. well the suspect as you say has just in the last five minutes appeared in court here in christchurch we can now confirm that his name is bronson tarrant a twenty eight year old and he's been charged so far with one count of murder in a sense that's a formality to get him in the system
7:44 am
a single charge of murder at the moment but we can expect more charges to follow but he's been remanded in custody until. now at the moment he sent to no plea my colleague was in court and saw him coming in she said that throughout he was looking directly at the media in the courtroom and she said he had some grazes around his mouth he was looking directly at the media gathered in the courtroom and in her words he was smirking throughout his court appearance. and i'm drew we were just i had an image there of of the suspect as you say he has now appeared in court he's been charged with one count of murder that is expected to to change and likely there will be further charges tell us what we know about the suspect at this point . with just over an hour ago now gave a broad overview of the situation she talked
7:45 am
a bit about the gunman she said that he's a man that's been in and out of new zealand for a few years but. wasn't living here in christchurch she was actually living in the town didn't even about four hours' drive south of here at the time or until until yesterday until friday until he carried out this all these i should say horrific attacks now what we know as well from australia's prime minister is that he's an australian born man but again he travelled widely she talks about the facts this is and he has talked about this attack on social media and he posted video opiates hack itself on social media disenrolled and said maybe he should have been picked up and she's also his security services to look into why he wasn't why wasn't he on a watch list he had published in pretty objectionable foul things online in the past why people who have two sorts of things he might do but of course if you decide these sorts of things with hindsight general done as well in her press
7:46 am
conference talks about the weaponry he took into these two mosques five guns two of those semiautomatic weapons and she said that new zealand's gun laws must change she said they will change she said that be an attempt to make gun laws in this country stricter in the past by old i wouldn't fail this time around she said standing as close as you can now get nor mosque it's about three hundred meters behind me down the road in the place of establish the cordon at this point and we've been seeing people coming and laying flowers at the traffic lights that are now the closest you can get the mosque all morning and the few funeral directors vehicles as well driving down the road behind me and the place doing a particular you know a very meticulous check of the area checking that they're not missing any evidence from yesterday but they're also even checking things like the flowers within a place officer going through the bunches of flowers checking there's nothing malicious in them to say this is a city that's the law of this innocence would be a huge understatement. and andrea just some of the images we've been seeing it
7:47 am
was an attack on. you say innocent people at their place of worship you know friday prayers a time when muslims all of the world. you know and they gather together for that pres tell us more about the reaction to what has happened. i've been talking to people who've been coming to sports all morning on saturday and a very large proportion of them. to new zealand themselves not necessarily muslim but people who have come and made this their home in the last five ten twenty years to a man and woman they say this a time feels particularly poignant and aggressive towards them as migrants but you realize that probably the majority of people in the most behind me and at the lynwood one across town were migrants probably rather to be recent margarets many
7:48 am
of those will likely have been refugees who've made new zealand their home as a safe haven fleeing wherever they were from elsewhere in the world and sort of being killed in this manner in this safe well that's very very shocking and people here really feel that yes this is an attack on new zealand but they feel it. vividly how this is an attack on the more recent arrivals to new zealand owned them and that they say devastates them there's no anger that i've noticed no one is. tearing their hair out and screaming for people to be punished for this but there's a genuine profound sense of sadness. and there is likely to be a fair bit of activity in the next few days because of course muslim burial rights say that the dead have to be buried within twenty four hours or forty hours interesting to all done touched on this when she was speaking earlier.
7:49 am
she did yes and as i say we've seen. vehicles from funeral directors driving down the road behind me so one assumes that there are still bodies in the mosque and as you say they will need to be collected and buried fairly swiftly so that we would lots of activity the good news if you can have good news in a horrific situation like this is that the number of confirmed dead has not risen since lights on friday we knew or late on friday that forty nine people have been killed in these attacks forty eight of them in the saw it all just outside the two mosques and the person in hospital died of their injuries that number changed as far as the center audience at an hour or so ago in a sense that's relatively good news i think with some expectation that the number of dead would rise as people died of their injuries overnight so far that hasn't happened the center of them said that two more people remain in hospital with critical injuries here in christchurch and another person a five year old child has been flown to or planned for those three o.b.'s li in
7:50 am
a critical condition and the other people with very serious well andrea thank you very much on you and your comments are bringing on some of the latest that from the new zealand says you have cries just describing a community in shock a sense of despair but nonetheless a community that is coming together in strength and unity this off to forty nine people were killed in mass shootings at two mosques in the city of christchurch our coverage continues on al-jazeera later counting the cost is coming up next. i mean every news anchor brings a silly simple breaking story and then of course there's donald trump. the clouds channelise that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the in iowa of israel that is not what that phrase means at all. as we turn the cameras on the media focus on how they recruit on the story the man in bed is a free palestine listening on al-jazeera.
7:51 am
hello i'm adrian finighan this is counting the cost of al-jazeera a weekly look at the world of business and economics this week he's on a mission to save the internet we'll talk to tim berners lee inventor of the world wide web. kenya's safari com is teaming up with china's biggest commerce company alibaba plus. i'm scott heiler in thailand the world's largest exporter of rubber global oversupply has caused the price to plummet leaving farmers here scrambling to make ends meet a subsidy program has been called by some as a quick fix because it misses the main issues that story coming up. it is a public square a library a doctor's office a school a cinema
7:52 am
a shop and much much more the world wide web has turned thirty and its inventor tim berners lee has called on the world to build a better web we'll have more from tim in just a moment but first our technology editor honda explains the impact of his invention over the past three decades. it may be hard for many of us to imagine a time when you couldn't just log on to the internet and search the web it's how many of us stay in touch make friends talk search and share information but thirty years ago none of that was possible electronically at least wow all this as this is british scientist timber nearly because back in one thousand nine hundred nine he and other scientists were frustrated unable to share the experiments and data stored on the many different computer says he proposed a system whereby information in one part of the globe was connected to every other
7:53 am
part easily searched available to all and not controlled by anyone he published how to do it on this the very first web page that vision of universal connectivity became the world wide web you might think of the internet on your computer or a device like this as a ken to a library some way you go to get information but instead of books you access data more than a billion web pages problem as the world wide web is so vast you don't always know we said find what you want so much like asking a librarian you use a search engine to type in your query it's processed using a set of rules known as algorithms to the intro all through the messes of data on the web and find the best matches click on the link and it's like being taken to a book and that library a global digital library that burn asli envisioned would be accessible to wall.
7:54 am
thirty years on half of the world is online for berners lee that's a job half done connectivity for all is a human right he says and he's calling on governments to sign up to a global contract to protect people's rights and freedoms in the digital age while our economics editor at alli had a chance to talk to tim the brains behind the net last week they kicked off the conversation with a look at the dysfunction affecting today's web. it needs a mixture of things that so that's why we're talking we're talking about a contract for the web for the next phase where it's called a contract because in fact part of it is companies can you know part of the platform as part of the company has sent. the build the belief systems need to tweak the systems a bit so that to make their the discussion more constructive but also it is governments as well and so companies and governments need to talk to each other and
7:55 am
also as a third constituent we've included as a consumer i don't personally feel a need to be discussed partly because their rights are really important we see the web and if we should be more user centric users can have more control of the data and partly because at the end of the day if governments don't do what they've committed to and or companies don't do what they should do then it ends up having to be people protesting in the streets people voting by changing the products they use or people complain or complaining to the government has any progress been made in reining in the power the power of the big tech companies it's interesting that. one thing people are concerned about is that once you're on with one company. and then you your information is stuck in there and you can't get it out but in fact well to start with the european general data protection regulations the g q
7:56 am
d.p. r. have said that actually if you have company if your company has information about you you can get it out you must be able to get it out invest be able to check it as well and fix it if it's wrong and so those regulations even though that they have flight to europe i think they've had a massive effect changing the international conversation and so for example as a result since g p r has come out and. in the e.u. . should be companies into the community of google facebook twitter and microsoft notice or get out a little. on that coast. they produced a thing called the data transfer for oject d.g.p. in its little known project but it is a commitment by those companies that you will be able to get your data like your
7:57 am
photographs or your contacts or whatever it is out of one of them and put it into the other one or or just happen to run it on whatever soft you want to do so that's a big commitment i think philosophically it's really interesting because by committing to the data transfer project these companies are really saying yep this is your data that's how we are going to behave tim final question what about government sensitive china has its great if i will russia has its own senses and other nations are following that's certainly not compatible with your ideals when he's fair started up the web. indeed that's one of the oldest questions that about the web what about. censorship but. of course building a. great five all around your country was really hard because the computers went down off now that it's relatively easy and so china maybe is the post to child for her to government censorship of particularly of. other sources of information but
7:58 am
unfortunately they're not alone countries in africa. and the middle east as well we're just pretty serious fire walls so yes this is of course a very big threat to the at the at works because you can mix men into anything the web works because. it is actually independent of country when people when you're reading a blog you don't know where the other person who wrote it in use at the moment and it shouldn't matter i think that's a really healthy thing for the world i think that the value of it as a global open touch on is hugely greater than the that what it would be if it were broken into national continental chunks. and so yes i think we have to just every time you receive government censorship we have to gently persuade the agency in the guy in the relevant government that they can so violative people
7:59 am
being exposed to the other point of view we persuade governments that they can and that information about what's happened that then that history that they're not so proud of actually is still important for their children to learn. and the political debate should be. should be grounded in a good open access to good knowledge. about the state of the world. tim berners lee founder of the world wide web speaking to us on march seventh now let's take a look at social media in one of the world's fastest growing economies india twitter has dropped unverified political ads in the country ahead of next month's national elections al-jazeera festival reports from new delhi. as hundreds of millions of indians prepare to elect a new government fake or misleading information has become
8:00 am
a regular feature on social media now for the first time india's election commission is trying to crack down old provisions of model code of conduct some are clients of the content being posted on social media by candidates and political parties. political parties here say they welcome the move to regulate social media something they see as crucial for the democratic process political system in this country is becoming more unstable because there are more question coming on our social media that how important is our social media and that's how it's going to influence our electoral politics coming even in this election but not everyone is as optimistic indians a new one for the tenacity and the capacity to bypass the rules and to come across with in a week two approaches of bypassing policies and standards twitter has also begun cracking down on unverified political ads but some legal experts don't believe it's enough we're going to see not dramatic results we could see some encouraging results but this.
