on the build of the human body and as of a theology of the in the from single to that time it as it of course do not quote had. a duty to do but it could have had it is you who did it the folly of another. son you know who would open a new table of course or tell and but that he knew he was wrong and i eat out of my steam bath and fidelity. in miami must hold it in the. model till all the of the come to sold on it don't look good enough in. less batiks one can have me. no colony and joe was all we can in miami. at the home loan and not on a. national center. or a washington a lot of has out of locks all sort of out of the law a sort of assault and assault by the un has a lead let them set up law liam had let didn't initiate that at the can. get the
5:01 am
money and. so we're driving now to a boat or a very significant rooftop to see the whole of the holy basin if we're talking in terms of this battle between east and west jerusalem your view is need to understand there is no such concept of arab east jerusalem today there really isn't there's only a small area called the holy basin which the arab world really wants which they obviously could never get in the battle of the conflict is over one particular area which is the old city and the area around the old city for the first.
5:02 am
we're not a secret organization it's a very very well known normal regulated nonprofit organization and it's not hidden . from me here you get to see what we call the center of the jewish world center of jewish life history heritage everything about our connection to jerusalem. starts and has continued for three thousand eight hundred years from here calling it the pumping station of the jewish world jerusalem runs through not just our psyche our part of our soul but it is in the veins in the blood of every single jew no matter where they are in the world is two hundred twenty five thousand jews live in east jerusalem today nobody is moving those two hundred fifteen thousand my parents were brought up with
5:03 am
a very zionist traditional and religious home and it was obvious that one day they would come to israel which they did when they got married in fact. i was in some ways started off my life here because i was conceived here in israel but at some point my mom who was pregnant went back to australia and that's why our branch in the up in australia and twenty five years ago i basically returned home and my body may have been a stray but that's all and history is a beautiful country but it was never can refer to it as home home has always been here who came here three thousand eight hundred years ago you know i came here three thousand eight hundred years could do is no difference between the host of jews that have lived around the world and i've tried to come back here every religious jew and every traditional jew that speaks about jerusalem also believes that there will be the third temple it's not something that we can actively do
5:04 am
today because something else existed that has to be respected and so that again but that doesn't stop a jew from believing dreaming and even praying that one day god's house will be there that's. the temple will be on the temple mount and obviously we don't have the right atmosphere today the right conditions for that and that's why we're part of what's called the unfolding redemption process called the design is a dream which is being realized that's taking place here and we're part of that the same god the creates the world can decide to give this land to his people the jewish people which in fact indeed. there was nothing here this was desert remember there was nothing outside the walls of the old city so when i he arab state talking about they got a connection of the generations no such thing. the only people there connection here the only people who sovereign rights the other jewish people there's never been an arab state he was the capital of jerusalem there's never been
5:05 am
a palestinian state this talk about palestine palestine i've never heard of anything more absurd. the philistines were mentioned in the bible. the palestinians would have been jericho twelve thousand years ago knew how to cultivate the land and in fact we know this because they have stored wheat. even the sign says that it's night tunnel the one that leads from the haunts being all the way to the falls down the down the road used to come with my. maternal grandmother. literally we used to come and have basically have
5:06 am
a bath right here when we're young and that's exactly where jerusalem began it began precisely because of the spring the only spring in the region. in one maternal. really for example who lived really literally up on on this hell they cultivated the land on the slopes of mount of olives for many generations my father started in this school. way prior to the one nine hundred forty s. and the only high school which was a dish of the my parents' home my grandparents' home but then the family just three or four minutes from from here i have roots in this area and that's going to change history unfolds in many ways. we don't have any exclusive claims we don't try to have a monopoly on even the historical narratives everyone is welcome but this depôt structure that maintains the can only project thus visibly what a leader fuse. i
5:07 am
mean jerusalem right i mean for the stinney and i'm a christian i do not put them in the order they're all on the same level for. my old school back to the time of pentecost the first century that our thirteenth edition is christian families in jerusalem. it's the place where my grandparents met my parents quotes made it. my life is just awesome.
5:08 am
this was a business for palestinians in jerusalem i remember when i was a little kid i would come with my family this was the most expensive part of jerusalem it was an industrial zone. as israel decides to build the wall that connects to street there used to be a street that connects with all of the different communities in east jerusalem become the build there would and they shut it and they see you are no longer have access to your neighbors you no longer have access to your school you no longer have access to your work the alternative for somebody is to travel for an hour or two hours to possibly make it to work to possibly make it to school making it for students palestinian students living in jerusalem to access the school that they used to go to with their classmates and their friends it is you have to pick quadruple. looked one through the bad image of bringing their soldiers
5:09 am
and forcing people to be evicted from their houses today in the twenty first century is there and uses new techniques to make it impossible for you to live in these neighborhoods so that you willingly leave. because if you need access to health care there's no access to health care in this area if you need access to a job there's no jobs in this area there's no social life it's empty it's a ghost out. behind the wall is an industrial zone the government bring settlers gives all kinds of benefits for people to start an industrial zone forcing the people over here who used to be factory owners who are going to daily wage if the are granted the permit and the permission to work in effect and in addition there is an israeli. only highway palestinians living here from east jerusalem can neither access the industrial zone for work no one can be accessed the israeli only roads. we
5:10 am
palestinians and israelis them have become invisible. if you want to be a tourist or to believe them coming into this land that many called holy you don't see the palestinians you don't see the destruction and the devastation that is happening. there's plenty of that is happening in jerusalem but the reality is one segregation occupation discrimination injustice this is in the twenty first century and the world the silent. communities within churches have been divided communities in schools have been divided families have been separated if you are on that side of the wall and on that side of the wall and you decide to get married it's easier to apply for immigration and to move to canada or the u.s. and this was happened with my family members of mine then to live over here and to go through the bureaucracy of the israeli government.
5:11 am
it's amazing how we're residents of a country that we were born if i was born in or should have some sort of citizenship or something being born in jerusalem as an arab we can't get us and shipped anything our jordanian citizenship so we have we're for travel we're not actual citizens of jordan israel controls jerusalem we don't have israeli citizenship so we're just stuck in the middle. the picture is love just one more powerful individuals i see it ethnically deliberate systematic well know the statistics a quarter of
5:12 am
a million palestinians lost that i.d.'s between one nine hundred sixty seven and nineteen ninety four that's the beginning of walsall it's really confusing how do people in jerusalem they were born here as arabs they don't they don't own anything on paper i was born here and i'm not allowed to live here anymore so the study whatever the sum is there the story of a typical honesty and bright energetic highly motivated young son who want to really to make it and mom would try torah you don't have to find the bodies and jump it's the story of many youngsters many of us in unix those you don't have to be freud or young to destroy to realise that your son is really depressed and one day to teach told me that they're going to keep taking money from you and we both understood what you know history what his statement meant we both went silent. we
5:13 am
knew that it mahmoud was asking for my blessing if you will that he would have it outside the country. to the united states in this case where he would ultimately flourish. but his was his idea and today he comes here as a tourist and that hits when one says that he does not understand why it was evoked i think he's it going this you know egalitarian sense of belonging this thing to a service we deserve better not go up with us he knows where human beings who happen to be living in the spot of the world itself was ition of strength when i recognise the humanity even of the people who are causing me distress because any colonial project will definitely chip at the very humanity of both local by an accord by both of us was all of humanity we become even subhumans less
5:14 am
deserving less getting less. it should be the case it's extremely difficult to try to explain the situation the situ of the political situation that we have here to people abroad because they don't understand it and how you're born in a country but can't go back into it they ask you asked simple questions but if you try to answer them in simple and layman terms then understand it because nobody understands us there's no simple way of explaining why they revoked id or why they took it from me and it's really complicated. diligent it would just be of passing such a law in the night states that we consider the need to femina concerns indigenous people as for those you provide them now with a green card rather than citizenship and then you will tell them all you broke the law you have to leave the country that's exactly what's happening with the israelites.
5:15 am
since the morning we've only been traveling in less than one kilometer squid but we have to travel around thirty kilometers three trum one point to another from a palestinian neighborhood to another we are within one kilometer square from the course still in jerusalem kalandia is jerusalem and the war does not to the present the borders of the city of jerusalem. we are out of the circle by jewish only roads up the roads israeli roads industrial zones military installations but when it comes to tax paying everybody in this neighborhood and in all of the decent neighborhoods be taxes to the municipality while if you out of palestinian neighborhoods you do not get any benefits back from the municipality and. the purpose of the war was to exploit empty land and this is why you see where the three is are and where there is a population concentration like
5:16 am
a father like kalandia it is to disconnect them from jerusalem. in one night as israeli army came with bulldozers and they came in they said with demolishing eight hundred homes and they destroyed the whole structures even the commander said you no longer need to watch al-jazeera or stevie or the news to see syria this is we're making and you see it again and just going around the city over here you will see one house after another being destroyed to ruins. when it comes to east jerusalem four out of every ten houses of the demolition threat or one of the has the machine orders and being processed as i know as it is it's destroyed houses you destroy families and when you destroy families you destroy communities. the most memorable moments with al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak
5:17 am
fell with the crowds in tahrir square talking. to us if something happens anywhere in the world al jazeera is in place we're able to cover news like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. that is our strength. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of other lives. other stories. provided glimpse into someone else's work. inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers i'm at the front lines i feel it i know it i have the data to prove. witness on al-jazeera. the latest me news as it breaks as well as the police investigation
5:18 am
the prime minister says there will also be a national inquiry with detailed coverage of the arms trade with saudi arabia is going to be a very important components of life in post-breakfast of britain. from around the world that ally is a symbol also must multiplied and its europeans help for all their faults all. geria why state t.v. is reporting president abdelaziz bouteflika is named a new cat a government after six weeks of as. government protests the country has seen a widespread demonstrations calling for beautifully could to step down local media
5:19 am
say the new government will be headed by prime minister nuri dean but all we several government ministers have been relieved of their duties imran khan has more on the story from neighboring tunisia where the protest movement has been going on for six weeks the government has tried at various times to try and quell it and what's happened is this just got larger and larger and larger now remember the prime minister who remains prime minister was only in his job three weeks ago after the old problem is to was forced out beautifully for that point was hoping that that would appreciate the protests as it didn't he's now going to be hoping that this latest move a piece of the protesters it's unlikely to do so in fact one tweets that we read was very telling is every time beautifully to announce a change in government we say to each other we will see you on the streets on friday and are all the headlines exit polls in ukraine are showing that comedian vladimir is alinsky has won the first round of the country's presidential election so lansky is
5:20 am
a political novice who campaigned against rampant corruption taking about thirty percent of the vote ukrainian incumbent leader petro poroshenko took about nineteen percent eighty candidates will now face a runoff vote against each other next month we don't care who we compete with in the second round i've already been told that some big news has been going around as if we were united front so making deals with someone who we aren't making deals with we are young people we don't want to see all of the past in our future but the future of our country was. a results from turkey's local elections showing mixed fortunes for russia and his ruling ak party the party has dominated turkish politics for almost two decades claiming victory in assembles misapply race but has slipped behind the main opposition in the capital ankara. and the two main border crossings into gaza are open again for the first time in six days israel lifted restrictions on sunday morning after a weekend of mass protests along the fence dividing gaza and israel or on those
5:21 am
stories coming up for you in the news hour with myself and twenty five minutes time see you then. when you see that the purpose of the is going to kill him and with the city going through the city and neighborhoods have confiscated most of the palestinian roads most of the palestinian land for the purpose of making life easier for settlers this regarding the benefits of the palestinian community unfortunately today it is it's very clear it is the right wing zionists control of those that are easy but it because. they are the ones who really mended the policy of the government and most of the mentality of young israelis is very much right wing we also have some problems with that israeli left. with some voices inside israel who think
5:22 am
let us improve the conditions in the cage without understanding that the people of things if used to live in the keech to begin with. i want to ask you first what part of the u.s. you know as one in jersey and new jersey is first you know are not i mean i wasn't and. i see myself as a zionist because i'm proud that our people have their state but our state and our people have principles and one of them is that not everyone was created in the
5:23 am
image of god some see it as united city and some people see it's very much divided between east and west and with a. but the front operation no question about it i don't think anyone that knows anything about jerusalem would say anything else. is is gravely neglected in every possible way in terms of the infrastructure most the neighbors of east jerusalem don't have sewage system just about every possible public service you can think of is under budget and lacking in east jerusalem the only thing they get a lot of is perking fines and housing demolition orders that's what that's those are the only things that they get an extra supply i mean growing up and so on has been lived on the memories off to sell them for you one hundred forty eight we were also going to work and so they got it through with. with the survivors of the holocaust but for us we see you and i mean this i don't speak this asperse early to
5:24 am
you what it is that we see you order and so on but the people who have come with that or not to have the spoils us to us from our land from our roots be we appreciate the sun was open minded and wanted to build mosques or churches but inside i would say with synagogues but jerusalem at that time had synagogues had mosques you know there wasn't something new that he would have offered us there had been grave injustices and i think that what we can do is try to correct them and that's what i say that is the only parallels between us and the communities and around the world the most innovative americans but to me all the talk about the history has to come later because we're still living in what i think is my job. this is the counsellor as addressed in the my as an israeli jew is to do everything i can to correct the wrongs and make this country
5:25 am
a more just place to live in for everyone so you claim up or leave your your feet i don't know actually this is a funny story but this is a present from the. they are two members of the city council. this is a monopoly druce game and i don't remember if i did even write a letter of protest in the end but this is what we were given as a present for the holiday and what you can see here is this is jerusalem right but you have here the city of david you know the dry the mountains the knesset. montefiore windmill the market instead of mash i mean and act is not here. the church of the holy several career is not here and basically what you have is a bunch of jewish sites and and various other allusions to other things but it's not a very balanced picture of jerusalem. this
5:26 am
is the middle of the city of david there's about eighty five families here very big to reason because there's massive archaeological digs this is there one of the oldest lived in areas where jews have been for since king david has tons of jewish and cea. names a very important so how you represent these i call the city of david that's what
5:27 am
the jewish world calls its was the thing you dated before with the one that's where there were just like the in our village was they she lowered the she lowered village of the yemenites before it was still once what i call the the one. if you listen carefully you'll hear the arabic the kids. the homes we are deeply rooted in this land and we always will come to those who came here and in fact at one point. silly when had the small community of yemenite jews we could have went and stayed until nine hundred forty three save in this particular area but they were part of the social fabric very small minority we cannot say that the policy in years did not include jews at the same time we should not say that this stand was ever homogeneous was one peep. right.
5:28 am
this is a very important place on the main road between the damascus skies and the western wall. it's a massive complex ariel sharon the apartment in the building a nine hundred eighty seven basically saying the jews have a right to leave anywhere neighbor when you jerusalem and he boards officially one of the apartments in this building that used to be an old hotel a conviction here unfortunately has been born with a lot of jewish blood and we opened up the shop front to add a sense of security for jews walking along the road from the damascus gates to the western wall.
5:29 am
from on the no homemade. give the look i know my house and. home in the on the ground of the multiple times huntin to live to do my ok for the looking forward looking for both with addition. of them up with me on in shave cool with it with a book. but there's up to one hundred for the cost of a little so-called of us the most to show us a cut of the. look of it. i mean almost to show that much to list could one of us felt with just what it all means to them and how the world was. flat out about to show a little skeptical hermia who do. just. command the world they're going to have to hold. i dunno what that and i love this here for him but i've met him
5:30 am
and dave short an aspect of the things that i've been. a out of commission will. all sort out to in the way that nuff small i did not come to the law son or daughter when they were on the skunk they. come to the slaughter without the fear and in the left doing them a nice. comfortable . going to stick with of course i'm just one of the premier. that the current coming. up michael moore was a plausible story throughout the autumn of the fall to you know at the time you should or should do. a little shit law in the good thought of mine one of whom i
5:31 am
have been for limber up to a little bit who were there as a in one. room a another no to be sure to use him but as of course be aware that and as a book i'm bullied on whom i wish i was you know about time i've been out on about it mamma i cannot help smooth it it will win though. and i have the bottle out the system to set the unloaded on the store he should go after the shifter so for the norma shrewdness to have them go buddy about they love the result another cup to the community. what sort of ideal could my not to be and if the motivation the have been gypped or sort of the or how tough will store allude there for that not all that is i learned of a book going for to assure infantile delight in top to top the shit. of a dish but i learned more than did that they had a lot of could learn to come on come on i'm a chef a commodity here but of the mud
5:32 am
a little said little head of the stairs in on a does when on a tip of a muffler to is it then redemption so wish you both with the p n n malmo did their job as dutchman and but fair not to trouble too often and. are no good morning. to you due to see you. know. in the let's what is going on in the seat it's for in one thing see that.
5:33 am
you are from others and you know what part of argentina from when i say something. and whether your own decision or part of your family that you want to know if my father was. a survivor so i grew up in a in a zionist family it was very clear for me from the beginning that we really believe in this country and when they arrive here oh was right there and he belonged to a right wing zionist organization which organization. the big data was the name or the heart of course. they live in their core three month after i arrived i. entered into the army to go to the army because they say that this is my or or zionist should go to the army and fight for the
5:34 am
country. why do we have in jerusalem people saying it is or i have to work for the jewish people or i have to work for the palestinian people because this is the. narrative of the right wingers of the right wingers for them we are in the middle of. conflict and we are fighting a each against. them is not health is it you are united city no it's everyone everybody knows that this is not the united city and everybody knows that this is a city were discrimination is running what they succeeded to do for the first time in jerusalem is to show. how this discrimination
5:35 am
works. and and do demeaning go of the discrimination with empirical data it was defeatist one dad to succeed to analyze the municipal budget must be a very difficult job or yes it was very difficult first of all because for the municipality you and for the people in jerusalem you are kind of trying to. you work for the palestinians not for the jewish people how can you do it and i try to answer them try to explain them it's a mistake what i am doing i am doing for the freezer and for the jewish people because they are convinced that if the patient will do you israel we collapse in some way try to explain them more but through article the right wing
5:36 am
because the right dream to stay king has to work at that's true for me. and i am trying to save my gun to you from a we're still. we're talking here about forty percent of the population and the budget it's still eleven percent no more than eleven percent and the scaring very much the people in the municipality or it was a drama yes how do you do eat the do you do you have to shame you cannot publish this document they are responding by saying more jewish areas citizens in the city disconnecting. from your neighborhood yes that is not an ethical response but it is the response of the municipality the strategy that they use is to say we best do under eight million shekel in east
5:37 am
jerusalem. i and it's true yes the best and it of million of shaken but when you look at the overall budget then you realize that this that of millions of shakers the are just. small and very short by out of the general budget you can call it. religious discrimination in russia discrimination ethnical discrimination it doesn't make any difference but yes discrimination we are living here in the city that discriminate forty percent of the population i can not live in a city that discriminate people in. grotesque way it's. there are days that they couldn't sleep in particular when the municipality did demolish houses but is how can i as
5:38 am
a jew that we suffer from this creamy nation over centuries how can we in our country the screamin eight. judaism and discrimination can not live together so some sink very hard it's up and to judaism in this country what is the fourth of you know this picture this is target feature or this is incredible look at this this is from the nasa german. in thirty six the swords of who are saluting just one one guy in the crowed that was not silly it is he there is this this this is for me not.

5:42 am
most of the cases it's young kids they get arrested in the middle of the night and that very difficult circumstances they become very vulnerable be themselves are victims. on. your hands. israel says ok if you did not throw stones who threw stones and you were there but this is how they are trying to make people collaborators with the military so it's also very common when israel address the child the first thing that they threaten them is if you don't confess guilty we're going to take away the permit from your father from your mother from your rather from your sister and so on. or didn't come to the. honestly most interview and michael moore says isn't it the mcnaughton of food good

shadow said to some showers around for monday coming on into choose they marry me across the western side all of japan tokyo will see a top temperature of twelve degrees celsius. and you. know. go to. the big. zero. zero i maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes algerian state media reports president beautifully because named a caretaker cabinet it follows weeks of protests demanding an end to his twenty
5:49 am
year rule. celebrations as turkey's main opposition party claims its one control of three major cities in local elections no laughing matter his exit polls show a comedian with no political experience as one the first round of ukraine's presidential election. and the documentary the u.s. military didn't want the public to see filmed by the region in afghanistan. and poor east with the sport lewis hamilton takes advantage of the faltering ferrari's face first born pretty women of the seas. we begin in algeria where state t.v. is reporting president i'm. named a new cat
5:50 am
a government after six weeks of anti-government protests the country has seen widespread demonstrations calling for beautifully to step down local media say the new government will be headed by prime minister nuri dean but dawi several government ministers have been relieved of duty as well imran khan is in neighboring tunisia. we can discuss this and more with him in iran it is significant that perhaps the army chief. has retained his role in this in the new cabinet. that's absolutely right he's a very powerful figure within the country itself and what he wants to do is act next article wanted to know what is that well to call one of those who allows for the president to be removed on the grounds of ill health as long as there is a two thirds majority in parliament that passes that resolution now what we're being told by analysts is that this cabinet reshuffle effectively will allow for
5:51 am
the expedition of article one zero two and allow for that vote to take place within the parliament however it does seem it does beg the question that why would they president actually make a cabinet reshuffle that allows for the removal of him from the from the job so there's a little bit of confusion as to what's going on what's likely to be going on what a lot wolf what we're hearing both by analysts and on social media is this is a way of trying to diffuse the protest movement on friday we saw millions of people out on the streets not only in algiers but across the country the protests as feel that they have a moment right now that they know that they have the numbers on the street to be able to come out and they'll putting pressure on both the army chief and president beautifully himself so whether this is about trying to appraise the protest movement or whether it's about pushing forward article one or two remains to be same but what we do know is that we this will lot appease the protest movement
5:52 am
itself they've long called for a radical overhaul of all of our political system and that includes the president the military and the opposition who they protest to say haven't served the country very well tell us more iran about how this new cat take cabinet my influence or that part of the constitution that could lead to beautifully being declared an unfit to rule how might this all wet from here on. well that's a little bit cloudy what we do know is the account the constitutional council needs to meet they need to enact article one and then it goes to a vote will be a forty five day period where they'll be an interim government in place whether this cabinet reshuffle is designed to be the interim government remains to be seen but again i have to reiterate a lot of this is very new thousand geria has been under the rule of beautifully
5:53 am
cofa twenty years so a lot of what's being done right now is very new to the country beautifully because ruled with effectively a nine fifties not only controlled his own government but he's also controlled in many ways the opposition as well and it's very much a token opposition and that's really where the anger is coming from when it comes to the protest movement itself there's no real opposition there's no real figures that want to take the country forward off a lot of frustration from the protest movement as well they're not only complaining about the fact that there is a. very difficult situation within the country but they're also complaining about things like corruption they say that president gets a fleet office business deals of his government contracts to people who then support the government and kick back to the government so these allegations of corruptions what is driving this and then there's incredible amounts of poverty particularly within the countryside as well so a lot of people very frustrated but as you say world is the process will have to
5:54 am
tell you this is very new for us so it's very much let's see what happens next it is indeed very fluid thank you very much and ron kahn in tunis and joining us now from the algerian capital is rania she's been taking part in these demonstrations joins us now from algae is that you for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour and as you well know that have been several proposals put forward by the government in algeria and the chief as well now we have this cabinet shakeup what can you tell us about the response from those who have been taking part in these these mass demonstrations in the country. yes not a beautifully hand of the military gets out has been very active in intervening in the protest and movement has been very outspoken and he said in his accords that article one zero two that it should be applied however this was received with mixed
5:55 am
response and i would say those two major point of views that are circulating one that said that. yes we should support their suggestion that here is a lesser of two evils if you say desperate times call for desperate measures and that perhaps he was the only one in our government powerful enough and credible enough to help us get rid of the clan however the other opposing side would say that. the military interfere is quite dangerous we could end egypt and the gates how he's doing this just to appear as the savior and the hero of the people when in fact he has been a darling of the system for so many years so it assumed that he had some spirit spiritual awakening where he is against the corrupt. and the businessman and everybody surrounding them seems to be very nice so i would say people have different opinions but the goal is still the same and the goal is we want to get
5:56 am
rid of these people all together it's really interesting that you mention different reactions that taking place and we see that the government is trying in different ways that the regime that is in place is trying in different ways to propose some sort of blueprint that will i suppose put an end to these protests but as time goes on do you think that they might succeed possibly in in splitting the opposition. well listen it has taken algerian so many years and so much effort to finally get to the point where we are right now the fact that i am here to speak and to use the fact that there are millions of our genes going out not every friday but every day to advocate for what they want this has taken so much for our dreams to do this because we are a country that is very traumatized and we experienced a lot of you know canada is a sham terrorism you name it we have faced it so to get to this point and then
5:57 am
split up or turn around is not really a possibility at least not a possibility that i've been hearing about or seen no matter the differences you know no matter the different orientations of the people whatever they advocate for there the goal is still the same the only thing that we unite on at this point is that the system needs to go away now whether it gave side is the right man to do it there so whether we should let him perhaps in a way this is still up for discussion however to turn around and maybe accept a river mission that a korean government or trying to do to save itself that's absolutely not a proposition i've been hearing or anything that the people will accept. it is very much a grassroots movement and what does that propose i mean does that throw up some challenges in some ways does it perhaps make it quite difficult for this movement
5:58 am
to perhaps lead any sort of transition or change in leadership when there is no clear leader. exactly and skepticism is something that is i would say working for us and sometimes really against us because as they said we have experienced a lot of corruption a lot of dictatorship i mean we have been oppressed for so many years and just the fact that we're speaking out is a big step so i mean what i've been hearing usually is that if we choose a leader the leader could be targeted by the government and could be bribed or barred or you know they could maybe even attacking or her camp so at this point having a leader is something that we want but we don't want just one person or we don't want a political party or sort or sort of orientation to lead us we want a group of people a committee if you will to represent the different spectrums and the different
5:59 am
orientations in society but we definitely don't want any specific person such as for example to speak for us or to leave this movement there we ourselves started and continue to delete or thank you very much really interesting to get your perspective and we do appreciate you taking the time rania joining us there from algeria from the capital algiers. so we go now to one of our other top stories this hour turkey's ruling out policy and the main opposition have both claimed victory in istanbul's local elections turkish broadcast to say almost ninety nine percent of the votes have now been counted. dominated. by two decades but the opposition is saying it's also won the cities of ankara and izmir. main rivals on the c.h.b. also known as the republican people's party our correspondents in custody who is headquartered in ankara so we have here competing claims of victory in these local
6:00 am
elections in some crucial cities in the country just how complicated could this get . marionettes much. conflicting please come for a stumble but here we are you know in the main opposition parties porter said there's a huge celebration here because people are happy that monster relies on her a candidate. who also ran again but not before has won the elections it was a wide difference compare job parties and parties candidate. now everybody's sure that he wanted her and the opposition also the clear it's a big dream or it is made for a stumble it is a different situation because the main opposition.
