how australia as one nation party saw cash from the u.s. gun lobby in return for opposing the country's strict firearms laws. they had about to resume has triggered a constitutional move that would see president abdelaziz bouteflika declared unfit for office the direct intervention by the military follows weeks of protests against the eighty two year old who has led the country for twenty years but has really been seen since a stroke six years ago reports that the algerian army breaks its silence it demands the country's ailing president. be declared unfit to rule it was on me as chief of staff left in a general comment guy who made the demand but that you have in this regard. we need

to find a solution to sort out this crisis and to respond to the demands of algeria 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 zero two the constitutional council will have to declare the president unfit to lead the country a step that would pave the way for the chairman of the opposite 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 clear kind made a few concessions was shuffled the government called for a national dialogue and followed not to seek

a fifth term 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 follow the constitutions more or less do so in 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 may drill constitutional or legal arrangements so the game we produce will be will 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's 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 its political and financial influence to shape policies in the african continent of the arab world but today the country faces huge challenges as it distances itself from war to flee because legacy and what happens next will be closely watched by algeria's neighbors and particularly the arab league which is holding its annual meeting here in tunisia. tunis well mass protests against the algerian president began on february twenty second

when abdelaziz bouteflika announced his bid to run for a fifth term in office the eighty two year old has been in power for the past two decades for three weekends in a row thousands of algerians living across france also took to the streets demanding that beautifully get step down by march eleventh the president was forced to reverse his reelection bid but he respond april's polls also made the interior minister is new prime minister and promised political reforms but that did little to convince protesters who say they want a national government of consensus instead of the army to manage the transition period but i mean as an activist with it because of his movement she says the algerian government is running out of options to end the crisis. today really what's happening is that the regime is exploring all its option after. trying to get a fifth term after delaying the election now it is going for

a constitutional route after it has violated the constitution multiplan time ironically now it is. trying to make us believe that the way out for us is the constitution and we know what would happen if the fifth is impeached. declared unfit what will happen is that the constitutional council will take over then the national council with that been solid will be will take control and they will organize presidential elections within three months they will continue to hold the rope of the of the regime i've been i have not been hearing anyone arad mean al jazeera and abroad. celebrating this as any kind of accomplishment the only positive aspect is that citizens the voice is

does have power proof that the regime is totally going trying to be disturbed but when what is going on and they are trying to find a way out. israel's prime minister is threatening further action against gaza after strikes on monday and palestinian rocket fire from the strip tensions remain high despite an egyptian brokered cease fire are a force that has more from the gaza border. after a night of israeli bombardment and rocket fire from gaza israeli tanks remain close to the border on tuesday israel had warned of 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 packed jewish lobby conference in washington was instead delivered by video link . we are prepared to do

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 forty strain on the other hand i think the two seeing disconnected but our position in relation to the golan heights is very clear it comes clearly established by the resolutions of the security council and on that issue some of the u.s. is closest allies the five e.u. members of the council terry read out a joint statement making it clear they disagreed with the president trumps action any declare ation of for unilateral border change goes against the foundation of
