everybody knows that the army play a key role even in politics there if they're against him if the street is against the president and now we're even seeing many of the political parties in some members of the business elite defecting against him all of this does it suggest his days are really numbered now. well sami the they all the parties understand in algeria that the biggest problem would be how to move forward from a military perspective it seems that the left in general. is of the view that it would be better to have the constitutional council the parliament take the initiative and appoint them the the chairman of the opposite of the parliament to take over and this is not a view shared by the key opposition figures and the protesters who believe that the problem with algeria is the establishment itself and there needs to be someone

independent with an impeccable track record who could reach out to or as unions for a transitional buddy that would lead. to a new era where there would be some dramatic political reforms so we have two narratives now most of which actually for example who is the leading lawyer and human rights activist and one of the key members of the pro-democracy movement in syria said that his concern is that the army could be using their move yesterday to further contain the anger of the algerian people without providing significant details by leave of lisa de opposition member said that the issue not within syria is not the removal of president of the. but the real issue in algeria is to have an independent person to leave the nation for a transition so we have different views about how to move forward and i think we'll
10:05 pm

british prime minister is still insisting the break the deal she negotiated with the e.u. is still the best option available even though it's been rejected twice. she once again defended her agreement in her first weekly question time in parliament since m.p.'s voted to take control of brags that negotiations parliament will hold a series of votes slated to test which option gets a majority. we are continuing to work to ensure that we can deliver bricks it for the british people and guarantee that we deliver breaks it for the british people we have a deal which councils are you membership fee which stops the you making our laws which gives us our own immigration policy and the common agricultural policy for good and is a common fisheries policy for good other options don't do that other options would lead to delay to uncertainty and risk never delivering threats to it earlier this
10:07 pm
week mr speaker the business minister resigned from the government saying the government's approach to brics it was playing roulette with the lives and livelihoods of the vast majority of the people of this country why is she prepared to carry on risking jobs in industry in another attempt to yet again run down the clock and try to blackmail the m.p.'s behind into supporting a deal that's already been twice rejected. let's get more now from the major joins us live from london very clear from back exit change if there is going to be any alternative ideas certainly not coming from terrorism may at this point right. no it's not coming from theories amaze actually coming from different groups of m.p.'s who will put forward to the speaker different options now he it is reported that he has received up to sixteen different options of the sixteen options he is going to choose as many as he wants certain reports here in the local
10:08 pm
media said to be up to six or seven different options and those will be put to a vote and non indicative vote and to reason is not binding by any of these of the results of these votes but what it will indicate is basically in what direction the m.p.'s are going what kind of breaks it do the majority in the side the house of commons favor now the end of the vote later on today. speaker will choose two three probably three options that got most support and that will be posed again to unknown to an indicative so non-binding vote on monday meanwhile terrorism is continuing her political consultations she will be meeting with the nine hundred twenty two committee which is basically a group of in peace within the tory party she will try to get from them as much
10:09 pm
support as possible some of the hard line breaks it tears to so far had been adamant to pose for a deal i now indicating that they actually might do that even though some of them are linking it to the prime minister giving a resignation date later on this year so it's all up in the air but probably at the end of the day at least the british public would know more or less what is the thinking in the house of commons at least that all right now once we get to that stage assumably on monday. but the indicative votes are nonbinding as you mentioned will to raise the may then take that back to the e.u. and try and negotiate a different kind of brags that or what happens. when the e.u. said that it had already spent two and a half years hammering together this withdrawal withdrawal agreement and they
10:10 pm
really don't want to start riggers reagan we negotiating whole new agreement last year last week at the summit e.u. leaders were very clear they said we will accept an extension of article fifty either to april twelfth or to may twenty second ending on terrorism a putting forward again to parliament for the third time this withdrawal agreement and getting a yes vote now we don't know when that will happen she certainly trying to make it happen i think she's trying to garner secure as much support as possible before putting that motion to parliament and eventually having that vote go through so it's really one can tell you what will happen in next few hours but one can't really predict what will happen in the next few days is a lot of ifs and buts in the end it's very difficult i think it's one of those stories that you really have to take step by step and rethink the whole plan each time a vote is passed through but the reason may had promised that she will come back to
10:11 pm
london she actually stopped short. visit at the summit there she left on the morning of the second day saying that she had to come back to london to get back to business and they told her they're waiting to hear from her if she is able to put forward that plan for a third time and if she's able to guarantee a yes vote now the e.u. is sitting there looking very closely at what's happening but there's also also today said it's opinion which is something the e.u. doesn't do very often the e.u. has all. has been and the position that it will respect the will of the british people now we heard from the task early this morning and he said well you have to keep in mind now that you have nearly six million people who signed an online petition asking for revoking article fifty you also had some people up to a million people protesting in history several and then for the same reasons and he
10:12 pm
says that opinion has to always also be taken into account so it's a very complicated situation i would say that it is hoda abdel-hamid there on a very complicated situation thanks the president of the european council donald meanwhile has made a personal plea to members of the european parliament over brags that you cannot be trade of sixty million people who signed a petition to revoke article fifty. one million people. for a people's role. all the increasing the of people who want to remain in the european union. they may feel that they are not christian to be represented by the u.k. parliament but they must feel that they are represented by you in this chamber because they are european. thailand's main opposition groups formed

10:14 pm
friday right now the numbers are very close it appears as though that it does have the numbers that they say they need to form this coalition. has said that they do what's going to be interesting because the two hundred fifty member of senate is completely appointed by the military government in this coalition says that they have the right to form a government because their members were elected by the people not appointed by the military government so these unofficial results or are due out on friday official results will come out come out until may ninth so a lot can happen between now and then but right now both parties lead parties saying that they have the right to control and have a majority in the lower house now a new report is found human traffickers may have committed crimes against humanity in malaysia thailand between two thousand and twelve and two thousand and fifteen the joint human rights commission of malaysia and fortify rights group say the crimes were committed against men women and children at sea and in human

10:16 pm
and the beginning of an era of development. but away from the celebrations some survivors of the conflict are worried davy carter was a maoist party member at seventeen she was arrested by the nepal police. a group of police training for guerrilla warfare reaped me it was a war cry and it may have survived as carry a roll and not only the state but even the then rebels have not acknowledged. carter says she decided to revisit her painful ordeal to make sure victims of the conflict i heard one of our side pay say with the rebels in two thousand and six a commitment was made to address walk crimes but both sides of the conflict are in power political parties and the army have tried to push for an amnesty to perpetrators supreme court struck down an amnesty cross as unconstitutional in twenty fourteen but victims as well as the international community are still
10:17 pm
concerned in january eight western embassies and dustman do the european union and the united nations released a joint statement which angered the government we support a process that is consistent with the country's obligations under international law members of the international community are also united in the view that any solution should have the needs of the victim at its heart only then can the peace process move forward on a strong foundation. the truth and reconciliation commission set up to address walk has more than sixty three thousand complaints but it has not completed a full investigation into a single case it has only one commissioner and his mandate runs out in april the victims were concerned that the truth and reconciliation act would be pro perpetrators and this has been challenged in the supreme court the international community also has been questioning some points of the act it is true that there has not been full trust on the commission but victims are still engaging with us
10:18 pm
critically. as there i met some nepalese and his family members who disappeared by per the covenant on the rebels on the island one concern is there is no law to protect victims and witnesses people are scared to talk people are being threatened by the army the police and the palmer abel's not to keep pressing this issue. the victims still waiting for justice fear powerful forces are conspiring to ensure they don't see it to be entrenched other theory that men do. all right let's catch up with all the way the system that's brewing here in the middle east everton's here we go to sprinkling of rain we're getting a lot more in iran right yeah that's right we have a little sprinkling here in over the last couple of days actually sami further north of absolutely chipping down with floods it's looking dry for now we have got some more showers in the forecast though so we're not quite out of the woods just yet as i can see this area cloud just over us here around the gulf just around the casa extends right up in sioux where iran is making its way further races to run

welcome back you're watching out time to recap our headlines questions have been raised in the british parliament about the united kingdom's involvement in the war in the atman the opposition labor party pressed the government on allegations british forces may have provided support for child soldiers part of the saudi like coalition. the british prime minister is insisting the braggs it deal she negotiated with the d'you is still the best option available even though it's been rejected twice by m.p.'s parliament will hold a series of votes later it's a test which breaks it option gets a majority of. thailand's main opposition party has formed a coalition with six other parties after sunday's election the leader of poor thais says the coalition will have enough seats to control the lower house but still will not be enough for them to nominate a prime minister. and then again from egypt is trying to enter the gaza strip to
10:23 pm
mediate a cease fire between hamas and israel the two sides have continued to attack each other sporadically prime minister binyamin netanyahu says he'll take further action against hamas israel's military is increasing its presence along the gaza border and israel's continued to carry out asked strikes on gaza overnight rockets were also fired from the strip stephanie decker has more from the israel gaza border. 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
10:24 pm
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 those 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 minutes 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. now a three year al-jazeera investigation into the us gun lobby and covered efforts by a political party in australia to secure twenty million dollars from pro-gun advocates in america the one nation party visited washington d.c.
10:25 pm
in september last year seeking funds from the national rifle association be to charlie from our investigative unit as part two of the story. al-jazeera is investigative unit field to covertly about pulling henson from one nation visited the u.s. to attend a series of meetings with come lobby representatives i'm. the one nation delegation was made up of the parties chief of staff james ashby and steve dixon the leader of the party in the astringent state of queensland. right through two million dollars us when i hate to say plush seats for the senate there were hoping that confetti donations from the gun lobby would help them secure the balance of power industry his poem and in an upcoming federal election there we would we. don't. need to see you know. you know what our record.
10:26 pm
if you want one to tell you it gives you a lot of house and i would have to say that. while sitting 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 the bill with you know. you'll be there during a visit to the u.s. dixon and ashby attended a series of meetings in which they were offered advise by gun lobby groups on how to prepare the is trillion public for an easing but strict gun laws you have somebody who maybe at least your son i worked at a newspaper he was in city hall or. products. stories about people who are run out of their homes and villages and be whatever it might be that could help out there you know and that's going to be the angle or stories and that's why it's got the right is going to put out to fire those are we. pulling hanson's one
10:27 pm
nation party has developed an official gun policy. that proposes a softening of the strict gun which the distro you put in place following a messenger in the town of port arthur in nine hundred ninety six but in secretly recorded meetings steve dixon promised to work to reverse the laws if we don't come saying people are going to be hookers are you go god help them to get him out of not having guns to talk over them to get him politically correct but i mean if it is it's one portion or you know it will poison our whole unless we stop it before charlie al-jazeera sydney and andrew thomas now has more from sydney. the revelations are still dominating the news here in australia this is the front page of one paper scorched unloaded 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 whiskey too much
10:28 pm
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 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
10:29 pm
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. well you can watch the full program from al-jazeera is investigative unit how to sell a massacre on al-jazeera on thursday the twenty eighth of march at zero six hundred g.m.t. now five cases of cholera have been confirmed the mozambique's badly damaged port

10:31 pm
when we saw this helicopter people were very happy. the world food program brought two tons of high nutritional food much to the relief of the villages who lost everything in the cycling own homes crops possessions and some their loved ones this aid is coming just in the nick of time for these people their food had run out they were cut off for twelve days the water's only receded here four days ago they still need flour they still need oil and they still need medicine but for now they're ok they're going to survive but there are other isolated pockets like these around the country who still need help. in this area they're used to flooding but not with such ferocious winds more into went for when we didn't expect the cycling to be so bad it was frightening when we were told that the winds will be more than two hundred kilometers per hour we didn't take it seriously that's why so many people suffered five people from the community were swept away in drowning clued in a young boy most are now having to live in a local school. aid agencies estimate that they have reached six hundred thousand
10:32 pm
people so far but they need to get to another one million who need assistance a lot of risk we really need to make a lot of efforts we need more money argentina to be able to bring here on the ground before what it what or since then it may be that we need to distribute on time because now banging for is of essence. just a few days ago the land below was covered in water after two days without rain the levels are receding more roads and tracks are becoming passable and that allows the more effective and cheaper way of delivering aid in bulk. but that help will need to be long term it's harvest season in this region for the villages a barrage like tens of thousands of others have no crops to harvest no fish left to catch today they will eat but what will the future bring. many cycling victims will be dependent on international support for the forseeable future. tony virtually
