military which does hold a lot of power behind the scenes and the past top officers were replaced if they posed any challenge to beautifully the protest is also not in favor of the opposition because there seem to be part of the same system that's helped the fico stay in power for twenty years business leaders a closely aligned to the people in power to many of the t.v. awarded large contracts government loans for public and private projects and in return the government gets campaign donations and favorable media coverage let's get more on this now we're joined by our correspondent and ron can't he's monitoring events from neighboring to nazir he's live for us in the capital tunis it is the day in iran after the biggest crowds we've seen in these six weeks of protests which will be given those not just those around with the flick of the constitutional council a lot to think about. that's absolutely right and although we're not expecting the kind of numbers we saw on friday hitting the streets today
7:01 pm
a lot of people a lot of the protest movement the leaders especially are waiting for this constitutional council to meet now this constitutional council are going to decide on what's been called article what i for now what is that that allows the parliament to remove with a two thirds majority. from power on health grounds with a protest to say that is simply not enough we need an entire change within the system itself we need new elections and we need a democratic system so we put in place because if even if the president goes then a lot of his loyalists will be seen to remain in power now this is proving to be a very significant challenge for algeria as army is one of the most powerful institutions in play now it has seen the numbers out on the streets all these protesters at it is trying to give the protesters something hence the backing of article one for now is that enough well
7:02 pm
a lot of the protesters their slogans are very telling they say we don't want to call we want article two thousand and nineteen we want a complete change now the army are trying to manage this they were hoping that they could have taken some of the steam out of the protest movement by announcing the constitutional council to meet and to discuss all of this but that hasn't happened the protests are getting bigger and bigger and bigger and they're not just happening in the capital the happening throughout the country the protests are getting bigger and their demands are getting bigger to what are we expecting over the next few days. well we are expecting people to come out into the streets like i say today such as they may well be quite quiet it's traditionally been very quiet last six weeks of demonstrations but the protesters do you know that they have there is momentum people behind them backing them and the frustration is being seen and a lot of the big groups within social society groups within are getting involved
7:03 pm
the biggest union for example is now come out in support of the protests so they know there's a moment to moment that they need to grab it all depends on what you say whether something can be done quite quickly or whether this is a very long term thing a very frayed of instability around thank you very much for that for now that's. all the developments from neighboring tunis thank you. even as a researcher at the european council on foreign relations and she says protest is still figuring out what they want for algeria. it's clear that the protesters week after week as they've come out have felt that they they felt a sense of unity in a power that they've never felt before and it is this has led to increasingly ambitious demand as the weeks passed but it isn't yet
7:04 pm
clear that they had and she the. demands that are now on the table in terms of reality oversight over trailing the whole system run it and just president will defeat so it seems increasingly likely the president would typically will go but whether there will be a real transition and a real change in terms of the power structures in the country is much more questionable i think that whilst not everybody who is that protesting has a strong idea of what the institutional framework would look like there are there are certainly people who are trying who are organizing me sayings in conferences in universities in public par in the issuers across the country to discuss walk the future should look like. the planting more ahead on the news out
7:05 pm
including. ok here is more about a time scale of the incoherent airlines crash the identification process to track song. back in the dock widespread power outages have venezuela's capital and all the cities. and in sports talk of what set up on the last sixteen back to play showdown john i will tell you would be playing. russian remains deadlocked over the future of bricks that hoffa politicians want to . the prime minister's deal for a third time tories may have promised to resign if it was passed she now has just under two weeks to come up with a new plan if not pushing faces the prospect of crashing out of the e.u. without a deal the barco reports. the our eyes to the right two
7:06 pm
hundred eighty six the nose to the left three hundred forty four. the breaks it breaks through the pritish prime minister had staked her political career on has been defeated the country remains in confusion the speaker rising kick should be a matter of profound regret to every member of this house that once again we have been unable to support leaving the european. the implications of the house's decision. britain has only two weeks to find an alternative way forward otherwise it will crash out of the e.u. without a deal without a plan to move the securicor over the opposition labor leader said the defeat pave the way for a general election but the speaker of the house has been clear this deal now has to change the has to be an alternative found and if the prime minister can't accept that then she must go not at an indeterminate date in the future but now so that we
7:07 pm
can decide the future of this country through a general election treason may had promised to resign if a deal was passed but the gamble failed to win support for northern ireland's democratic unionist party the man's government remember this brics it means bracks it and this we are very clear we will be leaving the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen is eleven pm what. the regional deadline date is hugely symbolic for the prime minister and for seventeen million people who voted for breaks it. to leave the european union all those. breaks that is they've gathered outside parliament on the day which the u.k. was meant to be leaving the view as well is that many do you consider the division inside parliament was echoed on the streets around it the countries that olds with itself. these are hard line breaks the tears of this is what they think of the e.u.
7:08 pm
. so how can britain move forward from here but it may have missed the opportunity for an orderly exit on may twenty second but to reason you could still give her deal another go possibly even next week meanwhile in pisa hunting for a majority for an alternative to teresa mayes they fail to rally around a single idea so far they'll try again on monday a second referendum a general election another extension anything now seems possible but british politics remains power line. westminster. joined by. three prime minister options now as she continues to face pressure from. certainly. she would have. called
7:09 pm
a. may twenty second. you have now. she. could try to have that with voted one more time there are some reports in the british media about that but she hasn't clearly said that at all at this stage she could wait and see what's going to happen on monday that's when parliament is going to hold these. non-binding for the prime minister but they could. sense that it could give it a consensus of what the majority in parliament would like to see happen what kind of they would like even though they tried that already once on wednesday and they were. she could. try to go back to the e.u. . emergency summit that has been. the called for yesterday. she could
7:10 pm
go and say ok we have a clear idea of what we want now can we have another extension a point. probably well if you want an extension is going to have to be well into next year and you going to have to take part in the european elections and you can have some countries in the e.u. already last week at the summit that weren't favoring so much of an extension because they feared that it would lead to exactly what happened yesterday meaning that she didn't manage to get so many options on the table is she able to take any of them forward the big question especially that she's under a lot of pressure to resign and that pressure is really coming only from the opposition but from her own party as well and how people they're feeling you know about the continued deadlock the day after bush was supposed to leave. well certainly a lot of
7:11 pm
a lot of emotions these days on the streets of london certainly the people who did vote for bread. yesterday march twenty ninth will be what they regarded as independence day independence from the e.u. that did not happen. in a little more than an hour deal be a rally here in central london people basically calling it the big betrayal rally this is think it's very symbolic of how they feel anger towards the parliament anger towards the government that they haven't been able to get the country out of this crisis and many would tell you that at this stage more important than bricks it is that they want the democratic right of seventeen point four million voters to be upheld then you have divisions in this is those who also want to remain within the e.u. and they you can you can feel the tension when both groups face each other on the
7:12 pm
street does not violent but you can feel that it is deep divisions and there's certainly a lot of confusion anyone i asked so far what do you think about breaks in most of them with. we don't know what it is at this point we are still confused and we don't know any more details of this deal and what will bring about it is a very difficult time for discussion and uncertainty is there and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon but i thank you very much for that and to have me live in london thank you. now to kenya where the families of passengers who were killed when an ethiopian airlines plane crashed last month have been on hold and funeral services without the remains of their relatives they were told by airline officials that it could take months for the remains to be identified catherine sawyer reports from not cool too. a funeral service like no. thinking is rift valley. eight people from this area die

on al-jazeera. it's good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news hour these are our top stories at least two palestinians have been injured at the gaza israel fence after being shot by as right israeli snipers. the process of marking the first anniversary of the weekly demonstrations known as the great march of return and. millions of algerians have taken part in the largest nationwide anti-government protest so far they're calling for the resignation of president of the disease. and an overhaul of the entire political system. and remains deadlocked over the future of breaks that
7:19 pm
after politicians voted against the prime minister's deal for a third time to reason may now has just under two weeks to come up with a new plan. we're turning now to one of our top stories that has a population of nearly two million many of them children they have lived through twelve years of an israeli land sea and air blockade at least fifty palestinian children have been killed since demonstrations began in march last year more than sixteen hundred were injured the un commission of inquiry estimates that nine hundred forty children were shot with live ammunition causing permanent injuries a recent report by the norwegian refugee council says more than two thirds of children surveyed are going through psychological distress including light commands and anxiety and eighty one percent of children are struggling with the education. well let's get more on that anniversary now we're joined by the him say how the
7:20 pm
associate professor and conflict resolution at the doha institute for graduate studies and he's joining us here very good to have you with us on al-jazeera as always nice to have as we've been reporting it is you know the one year anniversary since these protests began it's an important day because there are reports of a deal between hamas and israel they're coming at a sensitive time there's a lot to gain for protesters who are asking for a lot and there's also pressure on the israelis with an election coming up in ten days that's correct first of all let's not forget what the trigger. that started a year ago was actually the american embassy moving from that of eve to jerusalem so. contributed you know to the start of this by you know his decision to move the american embassy to jerusalem which the palestinians there we acted actually by marching to the you know to the borders of the. you know home and you know the
7:21 pm
houses that they were expelled from it in one thousand nine hundred when it was established so now we complete when we are of the supporters. the protesters you know seem to continue there is no back there are many reasons that encourage them to continue to proceed. forward which is what main reason is that will. be imposed on gaza the gaza strip in to the biggest open prison in the world with people unable to leave you know controlling all the goods and services you know going to gaza moving. so we should expect to see this more of this as the book it could be concerning as you say they have every reason to protest actually and it's been a. great symbol hasn't it of alice to me in unity what we've seen over the past
7:22 pm
year there are reports hasn't been reporting of the deal between hamas and israel which includes or thoughts of conditions that would improve their lives for improve the conditions for gazans but it doesn't actually address the blockade which is what's causing these conditions you know i am personally very skeptical of the deals that we have seen over the past will viewers where there is tension the egyptians intervene try to reach some sort of a deal. get some concessions from those of either side on the block easing you know restrictions expanding the. mediterranean for gazans from six kilometers to eight kilometers you know these are all minor things nothing crucial nothing this is the underlying cause of this tension which is the blockade
7:23 pm
that sold so first of all again the concessions are very minor not only this but also not sustainable and we have seen dozens and dozens of these deals over the past twelve years but nothing glass that nothing changed you know the situation and you know it's only about when we see this erupting again so there is no alternative to on you know to addressing the underlying cause of this which is removing the broken off from gaza and allowing the gazans you know to live their life normally like the rest of the world you know of being able to leave and come back to god without any restrictions allowing for their goods and services to be coming to the you know to the guns or so without this book it until we see this changed changed fundamentally i think we should expect to see this. most serious improvement. all of these deals all of these concessions as well what they're called you know but the things that you are talking about ending this twelve year blockade what are the
7:24 pm
chances of that happening with this current israeli administration and also crucially the current u.s. administration that has given prime minister netanyahu while plans to do whatever he pleases well actually you are absolutely right the chances are not the great then especially do with what we've seen in terms of you know this change of the u.s. american policy in the region you know trying to you know imports what's called the deal of the century starting with jerusalem done now in the golan heights and who knows when next so actually my fear is not only about gaza it's about the a lot of situation we have started you know talking about there's a but then you know there's jerusalem there's the golan heights and actually you know what is the last speech of david friedman the american ambassador.
7:25 pm
who seems to be the spokesperson of the israeli government actually he's on the right of the life of the israeli government. he was talking about israel's security needs in the west bank you know which he is hinting to additional areas of confiscation of lands in the west bank so it's not only about it's about the larger of this extremist agenda of the israeli government but been a station in washington d.c. which there is no surprise should not we should not be surprised of seeing this protest. even more worse things to happen in the future not only in gaza but in the overall region of all this if they have to thank you as always for your analysis on this. plane. now to venezuela it has. being hit by another electricity blackout the third this week the power outage on friday nights
7:26 pm

7:27 pm
government may have barred opposition leader from holding office for fifteen years on thursday but one way though continues to challenge me. meaning look every time i am here with you is a defeat for that regime do you know how long they have wanted to arrest me every day that i am in the street with you is a defeat and now i have them cornered because of their arrest me that will be the last defeat because the people will continue to be in the street because we would go to the streets with more strength to execute plan freedom to keep challenging until venezuela is free and. venezuelans have been struggling with a massive economic crisis constant power outages have become the norm in many cities around the country my daughter who is backed by russia says he is the target of a u.s. led corporate lot and has accused washington and why though of sabotaging venice way less power grab donald trump said on wednesday that all options were open to

not have the facilities to cope with the influx of immigrants across the border they say there are not enough officers there and they simply do not have enough accommodation for the numbers that are coming across this obviously playing on president trump's mind eating to his angry outbursts in the course of the day. president trump arrives to view a rehabilitation project at a lake in florida but it's not the wind blowing water level or this dam wall that's after most on his mind rather his fury with what he describes as mexico's reluctance to prevent immigration across the southern border so mexico is tough they can stop them but they chose not to now they're going to stop them and if they don't stop them we're closing the border they will close their work we'll keep a close for a long time i'm not playing games mexico has to stuff it this repeating what he

said in earlier tweets if mexico doesn't immediately stop all illegal immigration coming into the united states through our southern border emitting the h. in his anger i will be closing the border or large sections of the border next week it's a threat the president made back in december but never carried it through however his latest comments follow warnings from the department of homeland security that its resources have become strained and border officials say more people are expected to be apprehended at the border this march than in any month in more than a decade. the consequences of closure would be severe impacting on two way trade that is worth more than six hundred billion dollars a year and fueling president trumps fire his homeland secretary kirsten nielsen issued a press statement later on in the day saying that the situation at the border was in freefall very strong words from the homeland secretary and words that the
