9:49 pm
for the back to bow out al-jazeera headquarters in doha this is the news hour coming up in the next sixty minutes in algeria the pressure builds on the president and his backers as thousands of people once again come out to protest. with it be for time lucky the british prime minister tries again to get her breakfast it plowed through parliament also this hour the head of the arab league says the golan heights belong to syria not israel as president. i'm joining us go with the sports a heavyweight boxer as has his license suspended up to kiss a half a mile reported you're going to be. thank you for joining as hundreds of thousands of algerians have taken to the
9:50 pm
streets for a sixth week of anti-government demonstrations these are live pictures from the center of algiers the capital that calls for the removal of the entire political leadership have increased after protesters initially demanded the resignation of president abdelaziz bouteflika algeria's ruling party has box calls from the army chief suggesting a constitutional measure could remove the president on medical grounds but that is widely being seen as a move to a piece of protesters when a smith has our report. a sixth week of peaceful protests in algeria though so far no change in government but many algerians feel they've never been closer now say that twenty years is enough so get out el geria has many candidates who are competent to take the job so why would they be team stifled and in their own country are you deserve a breath of fresh air algeria does he deserve this we deserve to live in peace you
9:51 pm
know not that i'm here to confirm the people's demands they have to listen to us. earlier this week the army back to their calls for president abdelaziz bouteflika to step down. by the ruling party its coalition partner and i'll jarius biggest union have also now joined the calls for a beautifully good to go but the eighty two year old remains in office and now. we want to move to a real democratic country through a transitional period and to set a new algerian government which will be elected by the people and not by this government we are against this government. and even if beautifully could does go but it won't be enough for the protesters they want to overhaul of a powerful establishment that has been entrenched in power since all jerrys independence from france in one nine hundred sixty two they won the resignation of the ruling elite but a subtle longside beautifully caput twenty years for anything like about to happen
9:52 pm
the powerful military would have to agree and it's very sensitive to signs of instability. everyone is waiting for the constitutional council to rule on beautifully because fitness for office based on health reasons it's given no indication when it will make a decision if it rules a president unfit for office parliament must endorse the decision by a two thirds majority even if that happens it will only just begin to all fill the demands of the hundreds of thousands of algerians who've spoken out in protest bernard smith oh and let's go live to hashem i had live in tunisia's capital tunis for is where the arab league leaders on meeting this weekend is this crisis in algeria hashim that all going to be on the agenda of the arab league summit. well officials of the arab league say they're not going to discuss at all and i think the. sending here misses the don't want to be seen as somehow interfering
9:53 pm
into the domestic affairs of this particular moment because they do understand that the army when it said it would like to trigger article one or two they would like to give more time for the political elite in and syria to try to come up with a solution to the crisis but i have to say that neighboring countries particularly in north africa the e.u. the u.s. remain really closely watching the situation as it evolved in. the international community has considered algeria for many years as a bulwark against instability and extremism in the region that they hope to see a strong but at the same time vibrant democracy prevail in the country we're seeing another friday of demonstrations not just in algiers but in other cities across algeria with thousands of people on the streets how much momentum is there still on protests inside. those extraordinary scenes that we're seeing now at the very heart of the capital r.g.s.
