night class so that and. as i told you i marched with the jury and so on march first and then on march twenty second and on march twenty ninth and i can tell you one thing is sure their determination is stronger than ever you know when i march with them on friday twenty nine that i had the feeling that the cup at the algiers was not big enough for all of these people their sense of first solidarity is very strong their determination is stronger and the movement of this bike being leaderless it is pretty structured and it does a very strategic thinking and so i don't think a jury are going to accept this new deal as a matter of fact even their slogans change three weeks ago they were saying and chanting. now which means no to the fixture on this side but there were chanting you know chance such as

a child or her or her with the mag aid sign it which means go go and take with you again so that people are not against the military but they don't also want again they want new blood new government new leadership and they are not going to stop as a matter of fact qualls has been have been soria really launched on facebook and social media to organize the next big demonstration on april fifth next friday and so what then does the transition that they want look like because if both africa does go well there has to be some kind of a government in place until elections are held right. yes of course we need to have a government in place but what the algerians are refusing is you know these leaders are being recycled if i may say again and again we've been seeing the same faces for the last twenty years and the algerians you know even though they are very you

know. they know what president did for them and they recognize the achievements for now they are disgusted about. about the circles of power about what about his clan and they want to new blood they want new faces they want you to be involved also at the local but also at the national level because they tell you we want our dignity back we want our country back in this country has been you know stolen by these people called the last twenty years and in the us means enough miscount and it is great to get your analysis on this we really appreciate your time that is that dan i'm live in beirut thank you. much more ahead. and playing. politician who. don't have

the race to the presidency. even if the un reduces its peacekeeping force the mandate of the mission. canadian and peacekeepers who form part of the sixteen thousand strong. nicholas hock joint one of the last missions as they pull out of the attack. and. air force helicopter. close to the border with turkey

in an area controlled by armed groups. syria is on the defensive here. is on the offensive it's highly active in this border area. of attacks. to protect their troops they say. this is a. counterinsurgency. drivers that actually feel. the danger is we have a lot of. smuggling illegal trafficking criminality we have this ethnic tension between different groups we have the influx of terrorists from from the border

region and from inside mali and also we have this tension between the armed groups that are sort of fighting for political power. and all these things add up to one big danger. as the mission in mali is known costs a billion dollars a year and is considered the un's most perilous it's already cost the lives of two hundred peacekeepers that's more than any previous mission and some of them were dutch. the canadian forces have brought back their helicopter to get it. three hundred kilometers away the dutch forces continue their ground patrol. this is international effort to try to bring back peace to mali in a country that spiraling out of control although their mandate is to protect all of the european forces limit their operation just as far as this canadian medivac team can carry them and bring them back in march the un forces did not intervene when hundreds of the villagers were attacked by government backed militia groups in the

region of mctee while the violence continues to spread in canada and the netherlands are pulling out of this operation saying their mission is done. we are leaving but the un still stays behind with another thirteen thousand troops so i'm not afraid that molly will completely collapse now that we leave they might lose a specific us but the other troops that are still around can do a job just as well they come back hours later after having seen thousands of people uprooted by the increasing violence in need of help but in the hands of armed groups they bear witness to what seems to be an expanding war thoughts out of sight deep in the nicholas hawk al-jazeera. india has put an intelligence gathering satellite into orbit lift it off along with twenty eight small satellites from the city had a quarter and launch site indian space scientists announced last week that this successfully tested a missile to shoot down satellites and that is

a concern in neighboring china pakistan and others about the militarization of space. now facebook has removed hundreds of fake accounts and spam pages linked to political parties in india and to pakistan's military facebook says the accounts were created to manipulate social media uses one of the main offenders was discovered to be india's main opposition congress party campaigning for the upcoming general election well let's get more on this our cause for to infest your mate is joining us live from the capital new delhi tell us more about who exactly is involved fiz and the fed took a behavior that facebook is saying you know why have these accounts been removed exactly. elizabeth out of the seven hundred or so accounts that have been taken down most were seen as supporting the opposition congress party now facebook denies that they are targeting them specifically but only fifteen or so belong to or were rather supporting the

governing b j p now if you look in a different way the number of followers it does does paint a little bit of a different picture those seven hundred or so counts of pouring the governing b j p added up to about two hundred thousand followers in total those fifteen pages or so that support of the government b j p at two and a half million followers now the inauthentic behavior you spoke about facebook says that that's the reason that those fake accounts were taken down not the content they posted per se but that could mean that these were fake accounts or that they were bought swans and automatically post pages or links now the congress party says that none of the part pages taken down actually belong to them but that could just mean that they belong to supporters b j p on the other hand hasn't commented on the pages supporting them as the spread of misinformation it's been a shared concern and dia for a while now and especially ahead of the general election and all of the social

media giants on the pressure to act. well that's true elizabeth this has been a problem for years as you mentioned but the question why now this issue of fake news has been spreading on social media and messaging applications particularly whatsapp which is owned by facebook some of the more recent biggest fake news stories have been the ones on calvin july auntie's stories about the slaughtering of cows an animal considered sacred by too many here in india which has led to attacks on minorities as well has been the targeting of marys in february and march following the suicide bombing of indian troops in question here back in february so these are major fake news stories that have been taking that been going on for a while now but why now why is facebook taking this action now is still the answer we haven't heard from the company or at fez thank you very much for that for now that as live and again capital new delhi we are going to get more on this we're

joined by rana the director general of the pakistan house that's a think tank and he's joining us live from the capital islamabad very good to have you with us on ours as they are so why are employees of pakistan from the train using fake accounts to among other things operate military family pages. well the very interesting selection of if you look in the comparison between india and pakistan that action actually i would see for the facebook that's i would agree with that if there is in a career or in a pan take for example behavior is the or that's fine but the issue here is the way it's been the timing is one issue we have seen that recently pakistan and india are almost across to the full you know confrontation and out of that the

p.r. or the pigeon pox our military's pages basically ordered looted pages which we which is been stated they were using fake accounts to basically raise some sentiments against india or maybe for that matter we're not sure about that because people are saying it's not about the contents the problem here is that it creates a huge dichotomy that the selection had there been a political party i'm sure other parties in india must have within and saw pakistan would may have some bitches as well so it's really interesting it's very interesting and ology the way it is done it creates more question that answer and i think this is just a start maybe this book will do more and again mr arthur you know why do the people that are setting up these fake accounts feel that they have to is there not enough

support for the military and the government are they feeling insecure or. well that's a good question but i'm sure about that there are. very much valid with full authority there must have been the correct pages and i agree with one of the policies of the fears were garvey asli that if there are inaccurate information provided to establish fic accounts because of the situation because of the where sentiments are being. translated in into weiland selections i think i would definitely agree with that one wire what i'm saying is that the timing in one day if you're choosing a political party congress party which i'm sure they have plenty of argument that why the b.g.p. was not selected going to be dippy also was a raising sentiment and muslim sentiment and on the in this side i'm just saying

the way it has been clubbed in my question is relates to that one otherwise i agree with the contents that if it was there were an accurate and in authorised definitely this would have taken out but i'm sure did it just to start there may be more more coming from the first book and i'm not sure it would we can call it a social media anymore maybe we would call it is a lecture of social media and future mr arthur thank you very much for your time matt and your analysis understand as anna live in islamabad thank you. a severe storm has torn down homes and flipped cars and trucks as it swept across southern there are at least thirty one people are known to have been killed but rescue and recovery crews are yet to reach some remote areas forecasters say storms are common around this time and this was particularly strong. it was like

a ball of fire a huge ball of fire and it was around seven pm or eight pm and we hadn't eaten food as we were going to eat that huge ball of fire appeared live to trees bridges houses and destroyed everything some twelve or thirteen people were killed and about seven others were injured and i correspondent is in one of the badly affected areas. and here is a recent hospital in the district of course where many of the people injured by this third just storm and when storms yesterday have been brought in for treatment now the storm started around seven thirty in the evening with high winds and wherever it ran in the path of the strong but massive destruction and mud and still good structures that the livid came crashing down almost like matchsticks injuring many of us thirty one people have been confirmed dead and many more in the hundreds

more injured. as many as one hundred one hundred thousand people have been affected by this this aftermath of the storm. the prime minister came here earlier to say that the rescue and recovery operations by the security forces have been going on but for most people who are here the problem is when they get back home they have seven itself to go back to to be distressed or al-jazeera farce that is for to. among the stories still to come on the news hour with the clock ticking versions paloma tries to get again to find a way out of the breaks that mess. china steps up to battle against a highly addictive painkiller at the request of the u.s. and sports the title one is a boxing tina's top football league decided the game to span.

with russia's president vladimir putin the voters who have lost faith in mainstream politics a draw into the promise of change john holl reports. ukraine's comic actor volodymyr zelinsky owes his success in the first round of the presidential election to t.v. fame and a protest vote by young people frustrated by corruption and the slow pace of reform in one of europe's poorest countries living in. the people are more important to me more than political ambition the people are both everything the ukrainian people are waiting for us but who will get the last laugh linsky will now face far more forensic scrutiny of his so far rather vague plans for the country for us. to do is actually clean up corruption institutions make them independent ensure that they deliver second judiciary system what there was done before by president bush and

it was a fake clear if you want those sorts of broad brushstrokes may not be enough against the incumbent president petro poroshenko the chocolate billionaire with a taste for a second term yeah. i will understand the signal that society sending to us in power is a harsh lesson for me and for our whole team and of the leaders to correct past mistakes. poroshenko has been quick to seize the initiative telling young voters that he's heard their protest promising quicker reforms and questioning the ability of political novice zelinsky to represent ukraine on the world stage he's warned that an inexperienced leader would be a gift to russia's vladimir putin scuppering hopes of ending ukraine's war with russian backed separatists in the east what matters for us and what matters is the sense of transatlantic solidarity as

a combination only to call for russian sanctions and to very clear to support your career against the russian aggression so experience matters into a live ring that mystical experience matters and trust matters that voters will be faced with an extraordinary choice in the second round runoff in three weeks time a t.v. charming charismatic but with no political background whatsoever or the incumbent president who's failed to rid this country of corruption or to end the war but who many may feel has the strength and experience that ukraine can't do without you and a whole al-jazeera key of. britain's parliament is getting another chance to find a way forward on the russian's delayed departure from the e.u. later politicians will hold a series of votes on alternatives to the prime minister's withdrawal deal which they rejected three times now and these are live pictures from parliament where

they're debating ahead of the vote the u.k. has twelve days to come up with a new plan or crash out of the e.u. a scenario that could have severe economic consequences let's go to our correspondents me back in our history of live from london so what are these alternatives may have and any likely to secure the majority that they didn't last week so. well this is round two of the so called indicative of the first round on wednesday so m.p.'s who are in over eight different possible alternatives to to reason may's breaks its planned stoled plan of course there wasn't any single majority the m.p. through m.p.'s through their support behind but they were a couple of front runners remaining in the customs union a public vote on the final deal both of those polled much higher when it came to support from m.p.'s and to reason amaze complete deal goltz when he went before

parliament for the second time so m.p.'s are saying well look you know give us more time give us the option to have another go when it comes to voting on some of these options and who knows we may have a majority we know that the labor party are backing something called the common market two point two which a in short which mean that the u.k. would leave the european union with the softest of possible breaks since we're talking about a bricks of the roof would continue to respect the movement of people of goods services and capital it would be if the reason mayfield's than it needs to adopt it in any way cross many of her red lines but that's the issue she's an no way compelled legally whatsoever to adopt any of these options that the m.p.'s come up with a indeed they do come up with a majority but still there's an impasse impala meant am should she decide now to take home board some or all of what's m.p.c. side to come up with it could well cause ruptures within her own political policy

it could well fool to cross our own red lines just to get things moving and parliament this difficult choice for the prime minister of a right now everything seems to be in the hands of the m.p.'s rather than the prime minister and and want to have options right now. possibility that we might not even have. to wait. well i mean that's a big question isn't it i mean last friday she stakes her entire political career on getting a portion of her withdrawal deal through parliament and it failed she said that she would resign if it passed that's exactly what didn't happen so what happens next when it comes to have a political career let's look at the arithmetic in parliament even if to resume a is replaced by a completely different leader within the conservative party they still remains a minority government they would still have to secure the support of politicians from other political parties across the house to get that deal through parliament

also they would have to of course continue to try and get support from the democratic unionist party the northern irish party that is vital when it comes to getting the backing for teresa mayes deal so even with a change of leadership even with a. change of leadership it's not going to make much of a difference when it comes to securing support for to reason may's deal if it does indeed go in front of the house for a fourth time she needs to carefully work out the math if she's going to give it a go but her entire political reputation is hanging really on a thread of the moment and hanging very much on this deal that appears to that it won't die. thank you. now a woman accused of murdering the half brother of north korea's leader will be freed from a malaysian prison next month donkey hong admitted a lesser charge of course and hurt she was sentenced to three years and four months

but will be released soon due to time already served florence louis reports from kuala lumpur. in just over a month will be free the vietnamese charged with killing kim jong nam the half brother of north korean leader kim jong un in february two thousand and seventeen has accepted a plea deal she pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of causing harm and has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison she would have faced a mandatory death sentence had she been found guilty of murder. in the i hope that my daughter will be released in a month i'll be very happy. once case is similar to city i shot her indonesian kohak used prosecutors dropped charges against city last month without saying why the indonesian government later revealed that its officials had lobbied malaysian authorities believing city had been used as a tool by north korean intelligence for north korean men who fled the country hours

after the killing have also been charged but their whereabouts remains a mystery you know mediation earlier on we see that justice must be done. and he also said voice not sure that there really is a sense in fact koreans are just going to court and the emphasize that the must be brought to justice north korea has denied any involvement in the murder lawyers for the two women have always maintained they was indeed scapegoats it's very likely that no one else will ever stand trial for the murder of kim jong un the four north korean men still at large despite an interpol red notice equivalent to an international arrest warrant florence louis al-jazeera kuala lumpur. china's government is clamping down on a highly addictive drug in an apparent gesture to the u.s. as they try to sort out their trade standoff fenton and also the drugs will be added to china's list of controlled substances suspected of being the main source

of the powerful painkiller that's caused wreck or numbers of overdose deaths in the u.s. . looks at why fentanyl which is used as a general anesthetic is now at the center of the u.s. opioid crisis. well this latest announcement is a great win for the u.s. president donald trump chinese made fence now flooding the u.s. market has become a major sticking point for him in the trade deal and here is why last year seventy thousand people in the u.s. died from drugs overdose at least hoth of those were caused by fentanyl last month the u.s. department of health reported that between twenty eleven and twenty sixteen fentanyl overdose deaths rose by more than a thousand percent and that's because the drug is fifty times stronger than heroin and around one hundred times stronger than morphine and the largest increase in defense in all related fatalities is among those aged between fifteen and thirty four and while most victims are white overdose deaths are rising faster among black

and latino communities in january the u.s. customs and border patrol announced the biggest ever seizure offense will in street valley well three and a half million dollars in fact one hundred fourteen kilos of this synthetic opioids were discovered under a false floor in a truck carrying vegetables from mexico and the illegal drugs travel from china to mexico and then across into the u.s. in fact fence mills potency means mexican cartels can deal with smaller shipments instead of smuggling fifty kilos of heroin with the risk of getting caught dealers would only need to smuggle in one kilo of fence will instead to receive the same street value and a financial return and while most of it is transported into the u.s. through legal ports of entry or even by post trump has repeatedly cited the opioids including fentanyl a one of his reasons for building a border war with mexico i'd also like to have you take

a look at the event and all that's coming out of china and mexico. and whatever you can do from a legal standpoint whether it's litigation lawsuits of people in companies. joining you have some pretty big companies sending their garbage and killing our people it's almost a form of the word. and i'd like to do whatever you can do legally to stop it from china and from mexico. if you could look into that and appreciate it china by its disputed u.s. claims that it is responsible for the fentanyl crisis move on a little dirt free of arts and the accusations from the us led evidence that contrary to the facts the chinese government has always been committed to empty drug principles and has implemented the international anti-drug obligations and amanda befitting a responsible large country the us itself is the main factor in the country's problem of internal abuse and the biggest label fenced all produce in china has actually welcomed the come down but insists it has nothing to do with the drugs that end up in the u.s.

equipment to new zealand's mobile phone network on national security grounds that has upset china's leaders who regard weiwei as a symbol of all that this country has achieved in the past thirty years and if a place like new zealand refuses to purchase and employ a technology this is going to become a big problem not just in terms of business but in terms of the self image of the chinese leadership it's going to be a big fail before the cameras on monday premier league didn't mention while away by name but said he wanted improved relations with new zealand added later insisted there'd be no final decision on war way there is a view for instance that power has been banned that's simply not true so it is an opportunity i think to see that what has happened and the way that ticks i would say new zealand generally china is new zealand's most important trading partner but new zealand is also an ally of the united states and analysts argue that for new

sonia does most of the work on her own paying out of her own pocket and goes from town to town in a pickup truck wherever there's a body to recover. other times relatives bring the caskets to the cemetery like me. whose son didn't survive childbirth. in which a look at the standard i'm very grateful to give you for those little short i don't know what we would have done without her there. on your says she needs help with her mission but she will continue regardless so when it only used with this humanitarian crisis underway i feel great satisfaction being able to help it brings me inner peace sometimes we forget that human beings are happier giving than receiving whatever the cost and what she gives is a lasting memory of those who died in some peace of mind for those who are left behind. we have.

a cabinet reshuffle was announced to try to calm nationwide anger now the government led by prime minister news in bed that we appointed three weeks ago only six of the twenty seven government government ministers will keep their jobs they include the army chief of staff who wants beautifully could to be declared to and ferb to run the country let's go now to our correspondent a man can he is monitoring all the developments from neighboring tunisia it is a big cabinet reshuffle emraan and the latest attempt by the government to appease the massive numbers of protesters. let's see whether that works that's actually exactly what we're hearing is going on the government wants to try and stop this protests we've been getting larger and larger and larger but everything we're hearing on social media from protest organizers suggests that actually coming next friday we're going to see even more people out on the streets not just in the capital but across the country as they try and

protest these moves the taken place to try and take this wind out of the cells of the protesters now what the government has done so far is said to send up like test balloons if you might like to think where they are wondering if that's enough to try and get the protesters to scale back their demands but their demands actually are getting bigger and bigger and bigger every time the government tries to appease them so now we're in a position where the protestors a very clearly saying it doesn't matter whether you do a massive cabinet reshuffle the loyalists abusively got a still in power and that includes the very powerful army chief as well so we are going to take our demands back out onto the streets next friday and we're going to protest an ever larger numbers isn't it emraan that the protest is off that it's not acceptable to have the army chief of staff in the cabinet he you know he's one of the six of the twenty seven government ministers who have

retained their jobs that is despite him being the one who invokes the article off the constitution which is calling for the constitutional council to look at with a fitness for office. that's absolutely right a lot of what is going on with the protest movement is that shifting from the government to people around the governments now actually the army chief has been very critical of loyalist within the beautifully camp saying that what they're doing is raising the temperature if you will of the protesters and they're trying to say to the government if we go then everybody goes and that includes the institutions within the country itself he's trying to roll things back but again he is very worried about instability within the country the army a very powerful institution and what they don't want to be seen to be doing is. taking heavy handed tactics to the protesters when they come next friday so he's

becoming a very controversial figure what we're seeing in algeria right now is something very interesting beautifully to lead with a nine iron fist for a least twenty years and because he's now seen as being weak what we're seeing is this comes to chew tional crisis that is taking place a lot of the analysts that we've been speaking to are suggesting that actually this is so unusual for algeria that what's going on is people are trying to understand how the president can be removed whether he needs to quit whether that's going to be enough who takes over often woods whether it's their who's one of the senior politicians in the upper house whether this forty five day period that they're talking about of an interim government will actually work this is all very new for algeria and so the navigating waters that i haven't navigated before in iran thank you very much for that for now that is enron khan well they live and neighboring to nest thank you. as they want while the news from now on turkey's president. has

sustained significant setback from local elections for may is an district councils his ruling ak party has been defeated and most of the ten biggest cities and they are challenging results in the capital ankara and the biggest city istanbul saying that there were mistakes and child reports. after almost two decades of constant losses turkey's opposition finally has reason to celebrate. the people's republican party or c.h.p. one of the mayoral position in the capital ankara owned it would seem is on course to capture is tumble turkey's largest and most populous city. turkey be happy now let the stumble be happy and get back to normal we had seven elections in five years let's get back to work now and serve the people just as we start today we will run the city in a transparent fashion at every moment i'm doing this happily and i know that every part of this city belongs to sixteen million people. yet polity has won every male

election in istanbul since one thousand nine hundred four it was the first major position held by roger tabor earl on who used it to launch his political career nationally bruising gets is a personal blow to the president was asked the head of 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 . despite the losses in some of the big cities like entirely and other not older ones parties still managed to win more than hof the votes counted across the country and nationally it's retained the largest number of mayors true but the turkish people appear to have directed their frustration with the faltering economy of the ruling party which has led the country uninterrupted for seventeen years so you know. a lot of what was promised on june twenty fourth was if you don't want

the country to have economic problems vote for the presidential coalition led by the president. president the people have spoken and that's he has a listen you know good things in music change and that's the honest part you must come up with solutions to fix the country's economy and address the concerns of those who didn't vote for the our party the opposition will now be tested to see you think them deliver votes or governance in the positions it won from k.p. at a time when i'd once been accused of being autocratic sunday's elections are a demonstration that democracy is still very much alive in. istanbul. to the us now with a trumpet ministration says it will quickly send extra officers to the mexico border and will expand a policy of sending asylum seekers back to mexico as is the latest measure designed to stop mainly central american migrants and refugees from trying to enter the u.s. illegally let's get more on this our correspondent heidi. is joining us live from

washington d.c. more border protection offices heidi how many are we talking about. well in this memo that was released by homeland security secretary here is to nielsen she says up to seven hundred and fifty officers with customs and border enforcement will be reallocated to these hot spots along the border where they've seen the most number of families crossing without authorization and the numbers are quite dramatic they're at an eleven year high for the monthly total and for the month of march though we don't have official numbers published yet the estimate is it could be as many as one hundred thousand people and these are asylum seekers mainly children who are traveling alone or families parents and children traveling together to flee the violence and the poverty endemic to the three central american countries of what amala el salvador and. guatemala el salvador.

and i will tell you though to i think. sorry i just had a brain freeze there of course of course those are also the three central american countries that president trump has just announced over the weekend that he's no longer going to be giving aid to as a sort of punishment because the people that are fleeing from those countries and what we're seeing is these these thousands of families now entering the u.s. without documents claiming asylum and there's simply no place to put them and the department of homeland security is calling this a crisis where people are being put underneath bridges for temporary shelter and then released at bus stops in the u.s. under conditions that many critics are saying are simply inhumane and so the resolution the temporary band-aid in a sense that the homeland security secretary is offering is to move these up to

seven hundred fifty border patrol agents to address the surge of people crossing but the question is where are they coming from what other duties of border patrol will be sacrificed because they're moving agents from processing trade from interior checkpoints and this may be part of the bigger picture picture which we heard last week that threat to close these border crossings of course this coming just days after the president saying that he close the border with mexico of mexico didn't do more to stop illegal immigration and now the second part of this announcement is the dramatic expansion of the sending back policy. that's right and this is a very controversial policy that basically has mexico help the united states by offering shelter or in a sense offering a place for these asylum seekers to stay during the months if not years long process of having that asylum claim wind through the immigration courts and there

is a massive backlog of these cases which means the wait for the day where they can actually see a judge and be either granted or denied asylum can be of two years and the current policy has been that these families are waiting in the united states with family members with sponsors who are already in the country and trump says that many simply disappear into the woodwork never show up for their court appointments and in this sense remain in the country illegally and so his policy which is very controversial has been to send people immediately back across the border to mexico once they've submitted their asylum claim and wait out those months or years is there a problem there with people or immigration activists advocates is that the conditions in mexico can be dangerous and international asylum laws says that these asylum seekers must be protected as this process continues thank you very much for the.
