a general. homei the demand that you have in this regard we need to find a solution to sort out this crisis and to respond to the demands of all jury and within the constitution and within the sovereignty of the country in order to achieve that consensus and to achieve something that is accepted by all parties by triggering article one to the constitutional council would have to declare the president unfit to lead the country a step that would pave the way for the chairman of the opposite chamber in the parliament. to take over as interim president until elections are held. the army chief widely seen as a key ally of president of the law. has in the past warned against instability as the anti government rallies gained momentum.

the protests continue it even went with a plea a kind made a few concessions was shuffled the government called for a national dialogue and not to see if. his offer was dismissed by key opposition leaders as a ploy by the establishment to take the steam out of the protests what a move for twenty years but in two thousand and thirteen has suffered a stroke and ever since was rarely seen in public algeria's have been calling for a national unity government that would lead the country for a transitional period draft and you can situation and reinvigorate an economy in tatters if we followed the constitutions more or less the same people who are running the country at the moment we've been in it for the foreseeable future and forty five days to ninety days depending on the situation the elections. that we

would make in major the constitutional or legal arrangements so the game we produce will be would be played according to the rules that exist today and this is what the people have been calling for or against basically they don't want the politics to continue under the same rules which in oil and natural gas algeria as economy has struggled as oil prices declined over the last few years the government slashed social development programs to tackle recession but unemployment sought and anger spread. algeria has for decades used as political and financial influence to shape policies in the african continent of the arab world but today the country faces a huge challenges as it distances itself from what are the legacy of what happens there will be closely watched by algeria's neighbors and particularly the arab

a broader response than in recent escalations that threat was very much on show despite relative calm and talk from hamas of a cease fire the increased tension caused israel's prime minister to return home early from his u.s. trip a speech he'd planned to give to the influential a park jewish lobby conference in washington was instead delivered by video link. we are prepared to do a lot more we will do what is necessary to defend our people and to defend our state. the israeli air force struck targets throughout the besieged strip on monday night including multi-story buildings in the heart of gaza city. the first rockets which was a warning was fired then the second and third were fired to the north and east of the building five minutes later the whole building was hit and we didn't know where to go. among the destroyed buildings the office of hamas is political leader ismail

official normally based in jerusalem a new conflict will be devastating for the palestinian people it will have consequences for israelis who live in the vicinity of the gaza perimeter and it is likely to have regional repercussions as he spoke inside the security council his boss was answering reporters' questions outside the chamber and can we have your comments on the current bombardment in gaza and can you tell us whether you believe that the recognition by president trump of the golan heights as israeli will hinder peace efforts we were clear in the condemnation of the rocket attack but now we believe it's absolutely necessary to avoid any scaling up and to have restraint and i would appeal is for restraint on the other hand i think the two seeing this connected but our position in relation to the golan heights is very clear it comes

all breaks its would keep the u.k. in the customs union and the common market but it couldn't help make the rules anymore a canada style deal really would cut ties but trade deals take years to negotiate and the irish border would still be a problem a second referendum could reappear if m.p.'s want to put whatever they choose to the people with staying in the e.u. as the alternative and then there's the deal that won't die most m.p.'s hate it in the commons speaker doesn't want it back but the reason may could try again anyway some of the deals fiercest critics are softening the bricks a tear m.p. jacob riis morg suggests he might support it if the alternative and stay in the e.u. . becomes the choice eventual whether we're there yet is another matter but i've always thought that no deal is better than mrs may's deal with mrs may's deal is better than not leaving at all still as there are many politicians including those from northern ireland's democratic unionist party who remain

has said that one point five million people have now been affected by the cyclon and its aftermath the city of berra in mozambique was particularly hard hit so anybody why the recovery effort there could be ended by paul. sex. on the streets of beer or the clean up of cycling even as destruction has begun its a massive task volunteers a very ground to try and restore a sense of normality to this ravaged city. devis samangan who is the hands on mare who gets up every day at five am to supervise the operation and try and restore hope we also train to tell the people there's no food. but we need to work we need to work law farmers so we need to really build ourselves people are living in schools and on street corners it's a miserable existence even for families familiar with hardship before the cycle on struck this region had an unemployment rate of seventy percent with forty percent

of those making living on the streets the majority of big companies that employ most of beer is full time work force have been devastated by it i many have gone bust and getting the economy back up and running is now one of the top priorities it's been a climatic battleground here but also a political one there has been hard core opposition and it's voted five times against the ruling for lemo government in parliamentary and presidential elections and some people here believe they're paying a price for that opposition critics accuse government leaders in the capital more previously failing to invest in infrastructure including schools and hospitals and of not doing enough to help victims of the disaster there so question i asked god god why are you breaking cycle. i want to get. only god can tell me that. i'm saying to say that all of the center government does what i do

a lot giving us. government supporters maintaining all it can with limited funds and that. funding is allocated regardless of which party is governing all provinces what is important is the direction of the country and not the party. but politics is a game that few of mozambique's poor and destitute play their lives are always been a struggle to has been unemployed for twenty five years he lived in a shack and survived a lot of jobs the cycler left him with nothing. and did you least i had a home before the cycle of my life was a little normal even though it didn't help much but now i have lost everything it's not just me sleeping here the streets are full of families with children. many of beer is new street well as don't know what even care that this is an election year or most of the for them life is about if and when they will next meet not when they'll vote the stones we did i don't care about politics we just need help

there's nothing to eat and we don't have medication we don't even have pots and plates. the misery for many of mozambique's cyclon victims won't end until help arrives tony berkeley al-jazeera beera and the incumbent president of the calmer islands has been reelected to office winning more than sixty percent of the votes president as early as two money was widely expected to win sunday's election and secure a second term any opposition candidates were banned from running in the indian ocean archipelago which has seen several coups since independence in one nine hundred seventy nine the united nations says venezuela's refugee exodus is the worst crisis in latin america of the three million who fled in recent years one million have entered neighboring colombia that's where the un refugee agency set up its first center to help the most vulnerable other sundram p.s.e. met some of those refugees and my cow. it's an image more often associated with

countries real refugees are fleeing from war while these stains in the desert of northern colombia might seem a surprising sight they could become an increasingly common one like thousands of others yet became unable to feed their three children in neighboring been a swell she took a chance moving them here and soon ended up sleeping on the dusty streets of the border city of michael i then left us and that we slept on the side really it was scary and it was difficult to find food i would skip meals to feed them i needed to eat to feed the little one i would worry and cry until they put me to this camp. this is the first camp the united nations refugee agency has built in colombia where more than a million venezuelans of sought refuge from hunger and shortages. the un's not calling it a refugee camp but a migrant center for the most vulnerable state temporarily to gather their strength . they only sorry ass is relieved to leave the desperation back home behind her and

says every meal for her daughter bridges or joy was. they feel when we were screened they told me she was underweight thank god she gained weight since the party and is recovering fairly well until recently the colombian authorities had resisted the idea of opening camps like this one fearing they would have convince more people to leave but with more and more families arriving from venezuela and ending up on the streets local authorities decided something needed to be done hundreds of people of families are now still living in the streets on my couch soldier to this lack of alternatives and lack of shelter solutions. the local authorities us to. unity are taught to intervene. exhaustion is palpable among the arrivals but no one is giving up seventy four year old they knew

a resolution to end the border wall emergency chancy has more now from washington. but the democratic leadership would fail to get a two thirds majority in order to override the presidential veto was never in doubt but this was a symbolic vote and we can expect more symbolic votes in congress to register the opposition to the declaration of an emergency as this now moves to the courts perhaps to the supreme court isn't about the necessity of having a war it's about whether the president's emergency declaration was constitutional whether it actually breaks the rules of a separation of powers whereby congress appropriates from the president according to members of congress home simply appropriate forms really appropriate phones having failed to win the argument on capitol hill to get the money for his war so that's the argument will be argued in the courts and by congress consistently showing its opposition to the presidential emergency declaration the democratic

leadership from republicans hope they can win the day in court and know that this argument will be played out a southwest airlines plane the same type that was grounded worldwide earlier this month has made an emergency landing in orlando a plane which was not carrying any passengers reported the problem after leaving an airport in florida u.s. federal aviation administration grounded all boeing seven three seven max eight across the following two fatal crashes of the model a southwest plane was bound for california where the carrier is storing the aircraft while boeing investigates a possible fault now form a senior police officer in the philippines as president adri good to tears has been photographed with two chinese men allegedly involved in illegal drugs edgewater has released the results of an investigation which suggests that chinese drug smugglers may have access to the top levels of the philippines government german island and explains. former police senior superintendent eduardo

a share to face the media afraid but defiant he has been in hiding for several months and has received death threats but now he's presenting the results of an investigation he led before being dismissed from his job last year. the report which was submitted to senior police officials in december two thousand and seventeen details the alleged involvement of two chinese nationals in the smuggling of illegal drugs into the philippines the former police officer says one of the men also helped set up an illicit drugs laboratory in dabao city the hometown of president rodrigo territory in two thousand and four the chinese national was appointed economic advisor to the government and was often seen in the president's company. that is what the scared me is the president even

aware of the background of this person my conclusion is that the drugs in the group have already penetrated the top levels of our that the michael young group are conduits in the importation of illegal drugs in the country i share to says he did consider at one point the turtle wasn't aware the chinese national was a suspected drug lord despite his report. price when the president mentioned that michael young was just a drug user or a pusher because at that time they already had a copy of the report so i don't know if my report. by someone close to the president or if they submitted a different report to the president when the turtle was sworn into office he promised to end the presence of illegal drugs within the first six months. more than two years on thousands of filipinos have been killed in the president's so-called war on drugs b. fifty two years ago. ironic is that it's part of the report.

to the president michael what's the point this is a good moment monitor or economic advisor of the press the government denies the allegations a spokesperson says they have cleared the chinese national of drug links the government also says a share to himself has to answer allegations he was involved in a major drug smuggling operation last year i don't think michael young was ever involved otherwise he would have been shoot or would have been on the norco list but the government has yet to explain the process it uses to decide the guilt or otherwise of suspected drug lords the dossier about the chinese nationals alleged involvement goes back fifteen years and it includes detailed information about associates in the philippines and other countries dogon al jazeera manila. well there's more to everything we're covering right here you'll find comments
