its silence it demands the country's ailing president. be declared unfit to rule it was army's chief or staff left in and general. who made the demand but that 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 but a player can made a few concessions which shuffled the government called for a national dialogue and followed 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 follow the constitutions more or less do so in people who are alone in 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 are that we would making major 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. he has for decades used its political and financial influence to shape policies in the african continent. but today the country faces huge challenges

as it distances itself from what's a legacy of the top as the us will be closely watched by algeria's neighbors and particularly the arab league which is holding its annual beating in tunisia. tunis and egyptian delegation is trying to enter the gaza strip to mediate a cease fire between hamas and israel the two sides have continued to attack each other sporadically mr benjamin netanyahu says he will take further action against hamas israel's military is increasing its presence along the gaza border and israel continued to carry out air strikes on gaza overnight rockets were also fired back from the territory of stephanie attacker has more from the israel gaza border fence . things are relatively calm around the border areas the restrictions that the army placed on the border communities have been lifted despite that there is an increased troops presence tanks we've seen them on the road just stagnant on

standby if you will what we understand now from media reports that there is an egyptian delegation of course the egyptians have been mediating between the two sides between israel and hamas for quite some time but they are expected to come and speak to both sides to try and find some kind of middle ground the real test now moving forward is this weekend when we have the one year anniversary of the great march of return those are of course these border protests that have put immense pressure on israel israel wants them to stop hamas doesn't see that it is achieved anything pop of all over the last year it is also facing pressure from the people inside there's been a fledgling but important protest movement on happiness at how much at the same time you know who the prime minister facing a lot of pressure he's two weeks away from a hotly contested election is being seen as weak for not doing more here the situation remains very fragile it is possible to go any either way but we're going to have to wait and see how things develop over the next couple of days. a new

to be declared unfit for office follows weeks of mass protests opposition groups say even more change is needed. a three year al-jazeera investigation into the us gun lobby has uncovered efforts by a political party in australia to secure twenty million dollars from pro-gun advocates and america a one nation party visited washington d.c. in september of last year seeking funds from the national rifle association charlie from our investigative unit has part two of the story. here is investigative unit film decoded legally pulling in since one nation visited the u.s. to attend a series of meat. things with gun lobby representatives. the one nation delegation was made up of the party's chief of staff james ashby and steve dixon the leader of the party in the astringent state of queensland. right through to million dollars. when i hate to say it plus five states in the senate there were hoping that

confetti donations from the gun lobby would help them secure the balance of power in a strenuous parliament in an upcoming federal election there we would we would get out now if we were to see you know. you know what i reckon that. if you want wendy you would give us a lot of house and i would have felt that. while seeking millions from the gun lobby one nation said it was prepared to soften stricter gun control legislation in australia that the n.r.a. has frequently criticized we want to know whether or not. you'll be there during a visit to the us dixon and ashby attended a series of meetings in which they were often advised by gun lobby groups on how to prepare the is trillion public for an easing of the strict gun laws you have

somebody who maybe at least your son i worked at a newspaper maybe was in city hall or or a little princess doris' about people who were robbed at their old invitation or whatever it might be that could help how they felt and that's going to be good stewards and that's why it's got a right it's going to do five of those are we. pulling hanson's one nation party has developed an official gun policy. that proposes a softening of the strict gun lewis the destroy you put in place following a messenger in the town of port arthur in ninety ninety six but didn't seek. they recorded meetings steve dixon promised to work to reverse the laws if we don't chime saying people are going to go over the stile you go well god help them to get on top of not having guns to talk about them to get in a politically correct part and if it is if one portion or you know it will poison our whole life we stop it before charlie al-jazeera sydney. enter thomas has more

now from sydney. the revelations are still dominating the news here in australia this is the front page of one paper scorched and loaded now that refers to the two one nation officials who were caught on camera trying to get money out of the us gun lobby now saying that when they were filmed they were drunk they drank too much whisky too much scotch by the filmmaker from al-jazeera who made this program says that's just not true at all he filmed hours of footage of them in business meetings as well as in bars and they were consistently saying that they wanted to get money out of the us gun lobby consistently saying that they thought they could change the political system here if they got hold of that money the other excuse that the one nation officials have is that this was entrapment by al jazeera a foreign owned in their eyes a muslim broadcaster and for a right wing political party that sort of smear perhaps is no surprise not too surprising that one nation wants to highlight pick atari informs associate out zero

with the. muslim world because it runs on a you know islamophobia platform and that fits within its narrative it's important to say too that the filmmaker behind this documentary denies completely that he was in any way compromised editorially because of al-jazeera as financial backer there was no influence whatsoever from qatar no imports no suggestion no censorship nothing whatsoever this was entirely conducted by me and my team in washington and in australia politically all this matters here because while one nation is an extreme party on the far right of politics they do have about five in some places nearly ten percent support and the prime minister who runs a center right party doesn't want to completely alienated their supporters so he's got to tread a very fine line while on the one hand saying that there are extremists who do stupid things like this in this documentary he doesn't want to say that those who support them are in the same boat. you can watch the whole program from al-jazeera

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. that the drugs in the group have already penetrated. that the michael young group are conduits in the importation of illegal drugs in the country are sure to says he did consider at one point that the terror to wasn't aware the chinese national was a suspected drug lord the spite his report. 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 made 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 and. ironic is that in spite of the report given. to the president michael i want to point this is economic manager or economic adviser of the president 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

nose ring out of the. woods i deny them the embodiment of those of us which i haven't done. a good one in movies with. a gun murder. a. god. or god. goodman in the gulf with them on.

all of them all with. the whole game show going all the deal. with him also that so much damage mission must oh i think. that the. i love him locke was a king. and. i just thought he was about a slave and all of him and. you know trying to hold. we don't know what's going to come. along and i thought that was

puts us at high school now honey put him stand in line and i. hopped in place. and. i said i know that. the political position is the reason it's me i've been working in the field of human rights here in israel palestine for about twenty three years it can be in the courts it can be civil disobedience and. it can be accompanying farmers or shepherds to protect them from settlers. settlers are a very very group some of them are not violent at all although they often nevertheless turn a blind eye when others are being violent. but some of them are more violence and some of them are very violent the most violent perhaps are the so-called hilltop

youth. if i look into them so. i almost felt in a way in fact and i will miss open how the second at an end. but he deliberately i did not know i didn't hold could have been out the. minority in michigan no i didn't i'm in a j h o minute a short thought moore middleton i wish i could show the series into three one a bitch of a job i'm not psychic you know government commerce and kind of government almost see it. more see it sent it out and been romani able then ko-ko with obama it thought i'm. definitely such a god human terms that. i mean today we have a very right wing government which supports the settlers doesn't matter to them

whether the israelis are acting legally or illegally peacefully or violently. the people that live out here. more that's the same population that attacked us very violently in april. two thousand and seventeen. the hilltop youth are young they are do wells who kind of drop out of every system they see themselves as being extremely religious so that the messiah will come and we god's kingdom here but they don't even respect the rabbis of the settlements who they are is a natural outgrowth of what we've created here. most of the other settlers and the police and the army they all. this own they all reject they all criticize the hilltop youth and it's very in some ways comfortable for them to say well we're

not them but they maybe we're becoming.
