by the u.a.e. . algeria's president agreed to step down by the end of the month for giving in to weeks of pressure from protesters but what's still unclear is if the move would satisfy his opponents who've also been calling for the removal of the whole political establishment in algeria this report from victoria jason. after being abandoned by algerian military leaders it was perhaps only a matter of time before president abdelaziz bouteflika was forced to name a date for his departure it came in the form of a statement read on state television confirming beautifully will resign before his twenty year rule runs out on april the twenty eight the eighty two year old has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke six years ago critics say he's become little more than a front man the military and business leaders who really run the country. weeks of

growing protests force beautifully and his backers to reverse his decision to stand for a fifth term but neither that nor a cabinet reshuffle the satisfy protesters who are demanding the entire political elite be replaced. taken a long time already he should have resigned a long time ago in two thousand and fourteen he shouldn't even have thought of running again everyone must go nobody should stay. but people are asking for everyone to leave the government meaning put a freak out and his clan to stop announcing every time the departure of somebody and the return of somebody else no they must all go and let the people decide this . deputy defense minister and army chief of staff guide salah has repeatedly called for the president to step down or be declared unfit for office but he's been locked in a power struggle with beautifully because influential brother saeed analysts say there's been confusion among algeria's ruling elite about how to respond to the protests.

people are against a transitional period that is run by the regime because the will be a transitional period after april twenty eighth when the official time the president with a little older but the question is who will want to transition period if the current regime runs the pediatrician period then. the revolution or the demands are definitely not met the protesters fear the government is saying it will listen but nothing will change in algeria victoria gayton be al jazeera. has more from our correspondent in neighboring. key opposition leaders such as i've been at least one had been saying that the president does not have the right to issue any statements or decisions in the in the coming days and that one needs to be done immediately is for him to step aside and dissolve the parliament and his caretaker government for

the opposition along with human rights activists and the protesters to form a national unity government and this in a way or another is similar to the view or to the move by the army which is to trigger article one. comes out publicly and says that his is over what we're seeing right now is a power struggle there has been at tipping point in we've seen many former army generals coming out and denouncing president and his entourage and saying or his moves in all his recent moves are just an attempt to outmaneuver the anti government sentiment that has been building in the country and this is raising concern among thousands and thousands of algerian been taken to the streets over the last few weeks to just consider that this protracted political crisis could further lead to instability if there is no consensus about another turnout of

replacement ideas which of. trusted and backed by all of your eons and who would be ready to reach out to the to all the ins to form and a national unity government and leave the country for a transition to democracy. the british prime minister someone senior ministers for intense talks on bragg's it members of parliament are believed to be divided over whether to push for if there are no deal or soft departure from the e.u. or in fact to call a general election parliament remains deadlocked on how the u.k. should leave the e.u. as well it failed to agree on for alternatives to teresa mayes deal with the e.u. chief negotiator michel barnier says a bloc is now ready for a no deal scenario. new deal. or. muti was never my desire or intended. but you can't even is now

prepared. becomes day to day more like. barca is outside the houses of parliament in london nave let's work chronologically here first of all last night's results for rejections what does that actually mean. what it means for the country it's still stuck when it comes to bricks it politically it means now the ball is back in the government's court after m.p.'s fail to rally around a single alternative to to reason my plan to possible options did rather well again of course this was the second round of indicative votes that included remaining in the customs union and holding a public vote on the final deal but neither of them did quite as well as to reason may's withdrawal agreement when it went before parliament for a vote on friday so undoubtedly that's going to perhaps give the government a bit of confidence when it comes to possibly putting that deal before polman to

get in for a fourth of vote what's happening now is that senior ministers from the cabinet meeting for a five hour long epic meeting to work out exactly what to do next at the end of that meet we may well see of course an announcement of their deal will go before the house once again but right now senior ministers a locked in discussions behind closed doors and the caucus still taking right now working towards i think it's a deadline from about ten days from now which would lead to the no deal scenario which michel barnier was talking about there. get us to stay scenario and it's looking increasingly more more likely which is why the e.u. as we have from a shell body and they're making contingency plans they are all ready to go according to the e.u. that's how concerned they are about this the default position is if this the no alternative to teresa mayes deal if the m.p.'s don't back a deal then the u.k. crashes out of the e.u. on april the twelfth the e.u.

have convened a emergency summit on april the tenth undoubtedly the prime minister is going to be there we may well see the e.u. off the theresa may want to see what shin's firstly of course to crash out two days later without a deal or to go for a possible extension that raise a whole load of. challenges for the prime minister including the possibility of being forced to take part in european parliamentary elections now imagine having to spend more than one hundred million dollars on a electoral procedure to elect officials to an institution that you're meant to be leaving that's the kind of awful scenario that theresa may may be forced to concede to if she goes and ends up going down that road but i think more likely than not we're probably going to see the prime minister try to push his deal before parliament for another go at the same time the leader of the opposition labor party chairman corben this way of saying well look you know you've had multiple goes at your deal m.p. should also be given a chance to put alternative plans before the house once again possibly before the

demonstrators have been calling for the removal of the whole political establishment. the british prime minister summoned senior ministers from marathon talks on briggs that apartment remains deadlocked on how the u.k. should leave. after failing to agree on four alternatives to resume a steal and reuters is reporting a group of former u.s. intelligence agents helps the united arab emirates to spy on prominent arab media figure was part of an intelligence program exposed by reuters earlier this year. to venezuela where the supreme court is making moves to have the opposition leader arrested it's calling for. parliamentary immunity saying he disobeyed an order barring him from leaving the country and america is in the sea and human has more from caracas. as opposition leader prepared to walk onto the stage at a small rally and could act as a pro-government armed group through tear gas at his caravan and fired shots into the air. the incident occurred shortly after the supreme court ordered the all

powerful constituent assembly district wide all of his parliamentary immunity for disobeying a travel ban last month. the move brings bible one step closer to being arrested but even means defiant obvious that. he can take their offer and strip i am unity to where they see fit but we will continue working continue mobilizing on the streets and organizing this is persecution this is a dictatorship no. way though is the president of the opposition controlled legislature which is not recognized by the middle government but sixty countries including most of latin america europe the u.s. and canada recognized by the law as venezuela's interim president. as the power struggle escalates and israel remains nearly paralyzed by more than three weeks of power blackouts and acute water shortages. that desperate residents of this working

class caracas neighborhood where. to fill containers from a spring that leaks water into a parking lot these people have been here since five o'clock in the morning and it's now almost mid day it's very very hot they haven't had water for five days and tempers are really beginning to flare as they try to break their way in past that gate to try to get a little bit of water. the police arrived just in time to restore order but people say president nicolas maduro decision to ration power for the next thirty days in an attempt to stabilize power and water supplies is not enough see my gala there's no water no power nothing works no metro no transportation we have to beg for a drop of water no one can work like this. it's easy to blame the united states but nicolas maduro is the one who's responsible for what happens in venezuela. but

some believe there's another culprit. is to blame he says he wants our president to go but even without water and power we will remain firm by his side. for how long is the question as well and his supporters attempt to elevate the pressure for regime change despite the growing risks you see in human i'll just practice. united states is canceling deliveries of the world's most advanced warplanes to turkey because anchor is refusing to cancel an order for a russian missile defense system the americans fear the stealth capabilities of their if they five jets will be compromised by the russian system which is due to be delivered to turkey in july of this is the latest in a series of diplomatic dispute spits in the two countries. meanwhile after significant setbacks in turkey's local elections president reject typer once ruling party is challenging the results in the capital ankara and in the biggest city istanbul saying there were mistakes the ak party has been defeated in most of the

ten major metropolitan areas as jamal shell 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. won the mayoral position in the capital ankara it would seem is on course to capture stumble turkey's largest and most populous city. turkey be happy now let the stamboul 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 the city belongs to sixteen million people. the our party has won every mayoral election in istanbul since one nine hundred ninety four it was the first major position held by roger tell you who used to launch his political career

nationally losing it is a personal blow to the president was asked 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 the other not older ones still managed to win more than half the votes counted the process the country and nationally its retained 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. 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 are the ones that the people have spoken i'm not he has

a listen you know that things need to change and that he and his party 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 not be tested to see if we can deliver better governance and the positions it won from k.p. at a time when i do want to be accused of being autocratic sunday's elections are a demonstration that democracy is still very much alive and starkey. for the second month in a row the palestinian government will only pay civil servants half their salaries this comes after israel said it would withhold taxes it collects on behalf of the palestinian authority it bring in reports from the occupied west bank. choosing what's for lunch has become a more difficult decision for schoolteachers. oranges you can afford this time but . she only received five hundred dollars of her salary the minimum paid to public employees in the west bank last month i mean because we cut down on meat and the

expensive vegetables and fruit we stopped any extra expenses as we need to adapt we might be able to survive this month and the next one because we have some savings but we won't be able to take it much longer this is what worries many people here not only has the international in the past few years the united states has got hundreds of millions of dollars paid each year to the palestinians those cuts. his salary and his job fifty percent of my previous salary went to pay my mortgage while thirty percent was covering my kids' school tuition now that i've lost my income i'm looking for jobs abroad to guarantee that my family lives a decent life palestinian leaders are looking for more support from a very limited is obviously going to be betterment it will be temporary and we are a money we owe us money obviously it is part of the political blackmail that united states is trying to push us to accept what they call the ultimate deal that's not

something that's going to happen at all and the president has been very explicit in his position to reject all of this and we don't take trade politics for food one of the palestinian authority tries to manage the financial crisis by cutting costs and taking loans from banks many fear that this is not a long term solution and it's already affecting all palestinian walks of life. even getting here has become a luxury for some people. a five dollars is not a priority on the back of the whole economy depends on the employee salaries even the expensive cars you see paid by loans and the cash flow is limited for now these people lining up to get that reduced salaries have no choice but to manage with what they have. the occupied west bank. mozambique is to start a major vaccination campaign to contain a cholera outbreak nine hundred thousand vaccine doses are due to arrive in the city of barrow which was devastated by cyclometer last month

a number of confirmed cases in the area has jumped to more than a thousand with an estimated two hundred people being infected every day a lot more than eight hundred people were killed in the storm which swept through southern africa from in a minute with more now from johannesburg aid organizations are trying to work as quickly as possible to administer the color of vaccinations across the area which is an area which was devastated by cycle only two weeks ago now they will have about nine hundred thousand doses of the vaccine delivered to mozambique today but ahead of that awareness is very important trying to get people into treatment centers and trying to access areas that were devastated by the cycle and that at some point remain in excess of all the united nations will be holding an emergency meeting to coordinate its response and has also said that it's set up about eleven treatment centers across the cycle and ravaged areas now that number is significant

given the extent of the outbreak now cholera is and to make to mozambique the last outbreak saw at least two thousand people affected so this is concerning for aid agencies and then a new organization responding to this outbreak that number of people affected by cholera has doubled each day since the outbreak began last week and this is especially challenging in an area where the water and sanitation infrastructure has been severely damaged. going to be an hour year since i took over as prime minister but the forty two year old has already made some big changes he's won approval at home and abroad for major government reforms and for improving long strained ties with neighboring eritrea monitor reports now from madison. it's been a good frosty for prime minister from the time at forty two the ethiopian leader is the youngest on the african continent when the ruling with european peoples of

lucia knitted him a critic of coalition elected him prime minister last pull him back on a decisive shift away from decades of tight government control is i think prime minister arrival on the african stage is commensurate with the arrival of president mandela he is a breath of fresh his outlook is amazing he's tapped into the mood not a nearby ethiopians but of people all across the continent so far but such events include freeing thousands of political prisoners and closing the country's infamous torture chambers in the capital addis ababa ethiopia had long been known as one of the world's wast jailers of journalists within months of taking office released them. he has appointed women to half the cabinet posts parliament has also accepted his him in the mini's for president and head of the supreme court but it's the speed with which he ended a twenty year conflict with neighboring eritrea and established ties with its

leaders sayas of whom were killed that has astounded so many he's also signed peace deals with rebels that have been designated terrorist by the former administration and appears to have persuaded them to disarm if that's not enough he invited its european dissidents exiled abroad to return home but how negative a leading opposition leader remain in exile for years have been sentenced to death in absentee now he says he's back to rebuild a position politics in ethiopia with the full support of the premier he is very committed. you know i don't remember. in all of our conversations where we had a significant difference we have discussions very openly we you know we we don't see each other as threats in terms of political power it's almost like observing a different country when you look at the pace with which of the forms. so far that

if you expect that things will self last. quick to point out of the prime minister still faces some challenges that at them in the very existence. has more than eighty different ethnic groups the divisions and deported and have been flaring up with a new intensity in the past we're having millions of people displaced from their homes and being in different comps throughout the country and i think that has to be stopped the sooner. the better for the moment seems to have the momentum and no shortage of energy to do with the challenges that lie ahead mohamed and all just. finally the days are numbered for shoppers in new york taking on their purchases in plastic bags as the date set for a ban on bags which i use just once new york the second american state to outlaw

their use as concern grows nationwide about plastic pollution but it's kristen explains now not all bags are actually banned. right now they argue in supermarkets and on city streets the department of environmental conservation says new yorkers currently use twenty three billion of these plastic bags annually but their convenience has given way to concern about the environment as more and more plastic ends up in our oceans waterways and waste streams new york joined california and dozens of municipalities this week when the state legislature passed a ban on most single use plastic bags. good idea why is that because it hurts environment plastic bags stuff to degrade. so i think we should we should move ahead it's good for them aren't good for everybody the legislation allows local governments to impose a five cent fee for paper bags three cents will go to the state's environmental protection fund two cents will be kept by the municipality some shoppers think the

state is taking things a bit too far imposing more cost on the consumer and if they want to inspire people to carry their groceries clothing ship their drinks and something different maybe have a discussion about it. there will be some exceptions to the ban on plastic will still be ok for takeout food from restaurants for example but the goal is to get people to bring reusable bags with them every time they go to the grocery store the ban will go into effect in one year kristen salumi al-jazeera new york. takes to the headlines now in al-jazeera and algeria's president abilities but the flick says he will leave office by the end of the month after twenty years in power what is unclear though is if the move will calm weeks of protests demonstrators
