participation on sunday was more than eighty percent high on the minds of many voters was economy challenges facing the country away can live off and a slowdown in growth the ruling party and its eline nationalist party prefer to focus on issues surrounding the country's security but it doesn't help every victory and every loss is the will of our nation and we have to accept this fact as a necessity of democracy we will admit that we want people's hearts in cities we won but we were not successful enough in cities we lost and we will act accordingly this. presents. it was clear that the voters passage. is still the elvis era. where the next but still ahead on al-jazeera back in the fishings are signs of an easing of hostilities between israel and hamas. that's the road building in.

the film of the u.s. military doesn't want you to see made by marines during the war in afghanistan. yet more unsettled weather coming in across the middle east the fighting rains now in the prices of returning to iraq missing a fair bit of cloud and rain here through sunday going into monday i'm hopeful the rain will start to ease a little bit the wet weather still not safe ah if not east assad of iraq western parts of iran pushing a little ace was to choose day that will swing through the skies come back in behind to run it around fifteen souses but you can see beyond this area of low pressure we all still dragging a few showers in across georgia pushing down into that eastern side of turkey

al-jazeera. al-jazeera where every. you know again. a reminder of the news this hour a woman accused of murdering the hoff brother of north korea's leader kim jong un has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison and will be freed next month in malaysia because of time already served she admitted a lesser charge of causing. algeria as president has announced

a caretaker government to be headed by prime minister nordin dawi the decision comes off to weeks of protests against eighty two year old. and early results in turkey's local elections show the main opposition party has won control of the capital ankara meanwhile in istanbul it's a tight race that still too close to call the municipal elections are seen as a test for president russia. israel has lifted a recent ban on fishing in gaza the decisions part of a cease fire deal mediated by egypt between israel and hamas is includes expanding the fishing zone to fifteen nautical miles two main border crossings into gaza will also reopened on sunday following a weekend of mass protests along the fence dividing gaza and israel while al jazeera is mohammad john durham is with fishermen in gaza. now it's important here because it's really one of the only industries in which people can work fishing is

extremely important you have approximately four thousand fishermen in gaza it's one of the only jobs that brings in money right now but it's very difficult for them because one of the problems is the fact that you only have the small zone where they can fish because of that there's overfishing so there's not as much of a variety of fish that they can catch right now it's high season for sardines that's one of the only fish really that they are able to catch and sell here in the marketplace but it's vital in a place where there is such rampant unemployment to at least have one industry where people can make money in a place where there are so few jobs in which people can actually find that exist and support their families now one of the other problems they face is the fact that because there are all these restrictions israel calls them security issues but they are not able to get the equipment that they so desperately need things like fiberglass different types of metals that they need in order to outfit their boats they're not able to get the kind of cabling they need the kind of nets that they

need in order to really help them thrive in this industry so it's a very complicated thing tensions have really ease in the past few days part of the reason for that is because on saturday it was the anniversary of the first year anniversary rather of the great march of return protests and that day went off being a lot less chaotic than people feared it might be in fact it was so calm relatively by standards that have been said over the past year that the spokesman for the israeli army actually issued a very rare statement in which he praised amounts for showing restraint that day for trying to calm things down at least twenty people have been killed after a bus caught fire outside capital lima and the agencies have a say a dozen others were injured the blaze was caused by an electrical fault at the rear of the bus. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has announced a month long rationing plan for electricity while nationwide power cuts continue the decision is unlikely to placate people with some burning a barricade in protest against the constant outages protesters said tie is and tree

trunks and lights along congested streets throughout the capital caracas our last american editor lucien newman has more. as you can see much of caracas is in darkness at this hour president nicolas maduro in a pre-taped address told the news whalen's that the country had again been attacked by what he called saboteurs in an electromagnetic attack he called it on friday and on saturday making it impossible for authorities to try to normalize the supply of electricity throughout the country he again did not provide any evidence of these attacks but he did say that they will be a thirty day period at least of power rationing to try to normalize the electrical grid good throughout the country and he also said that public services would only work until two pm every day schools will also continue to be closed one of the worst things about all this of course is that people don't have water you need to have electricity to make water pumps work as well people are getting desperate and

this has led to a lot of protests certainly here in the capital on sunday people came out in the afternoon they were shot at by some pro-government supporters called police. people were injured but then later in the night all over in many parts at least of the capital people went out onto the streets again blocking roads burning tires putting up different barricades and banging on pots and pans demanding water and electricity so there is growing concern that this is going to raise not just the level of tension but of violence here in venezuela president maduro is in fact calling on his supporters to take to every single street in the country to quote ensure the peace while the opposition is now calling for venezuelans to go out and protest all over the country starting on monday. saudi arabia is accused of hacking the phone of jeff bezos the owner of the online shopping giant amazon and the washington post bezos hired private investigators off to his phone messages were

will be though just the briefest of visits one day and one night on monday morning she stood in the great hall of the people to be officially welcome to china by the country's premier league she's going to be discussing trade issues essential with him she wants to upgrade new zealand's current free trade agreement that was signed back in two thousand and eight at the moment to a trade between these two countries stands at almost nineteen billion dollars but there are tricky areas for her to negotiate there are challenges for her on this trip china of course is upset that its giant telecoms company while away is being banned from participating in new zealand's five g. network china wants new zealand to reconsider that ban but of course the united states are saying that if new zealand were to do that then washington might not be prepared to share intelligence with new zealand in the future because new zealand

is part of the five eyes intelligence alliance that involves canada australia new zealand britain and the united states so in a way new zealand finds itself caught in a sense between this deepening friction between china and the united states right now and then of course there's you of human rights in the aftermath of the christ church killings jews and arden has made ill treatment of muslims and other ethnic minorities part of the country's foreign policy and human rights groups are hoping that she will build on that momentum and raise the issue of what's happening in shin jang where human rights groups say that essentially more than a million ethnic muslim we girls are being held in reeducation camps china calls them vocational training centers but of course raising an issue like this with china's leaders always brings a typical response and that is we do not allow other countries to interfere in our internal affairs. well japan's announced the name of its next imperial era re were

seventy seventh month shinzo our base tenure as prime minister and what's quite ironic is that he's been averaging about fifty percent approval rating by the japanese voters which is highly unusual on top of that one has to take him to act is conservatism and his ability to hold on to power. it's quite a contrast actually from the past thirty years which was rather a bumpy ride forward to last decades a declining stock market declining real estate prices and political uncertainty all of which seems to have turned around in the past few years. now moviegoers are saying what the longest war in u.s. history looks like on the front line u.s. marines in afghanistan hope that documentary of battles against the taliban gives a more realistic view than hollywood christensen amy has more from new york.
