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 forced 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. help the people are asking for everyone to leave the government meaning put a freak out on 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. 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 implementor 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 do will be a transitional period after april twenty eighth when the official time the president will be older but the question is who will win the transition period if the current regime runs the people to transition 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 there. and more now with our correspondent has his following developments from tunisia this isn't by a president our guys would have to step aside before the end of this month does not seem to be really containing the growing anger in algeria because people are

concerned he might use the remaining days to further take the steam out of the project ocracy movement which has been building momentum and they can send him might come up with some decisions that would further just consolidate the grip of his entourage on the country they say that he has to immediately step aside and that the government should be sacked and that the parliament should be dissolved and that because situational council should not be the one to steer the country out of trouble the general consensus among the opposition and the activists and the protesters is that algeria is facing a mammoth task ahead which is basically to try to tackle corruption poverty inefficiency and the political establishment that is widely seen as disconnected from reality for that there needs to be a consensus between the army and the opposition about a new figure someone trusted respected by all the algerians to lead the country

through a transition where they will have to draft and you can situation work to worse new parliamentary and presidential elections and she is now talking about building the whole nation from scratch all revamping the whole political establishment for that very same one is someone who is strong but above all. clean and trust and trust that by all the algeria's this is going to be the biggest challenge facing the political elite the army and the protesters. another night of failure in the u.k. parliament has prompted the prime minister to resign made to summon her cabinet for marathon talks on bragg's that parliament still divided over whether to push for a no deal or to accept a soft break that was close trading ties with the e.u. alternatives put forward by members were voted down on monday to reason may's deal of already been rejected three times neve barker outside the houses of parliament for us in london everything getting voted down the knave.

it is very much stuck the political movement though continues with the ball now back in the government schools m.p.'s fail to rally around a single alternative to theresa may supply two options did reasonably well remaining in the east customs union and a public deal on a final vote but neither go in as much support amongst m.p.'s as to reason may's withdrawal agreement when it went before parliament own friday for a third time but all we really know right now is what m.p.'s don't want as opposed to what they do want and what will happen next as you mentioned trees in my own head cabinet are now locked in marathon talks the suggestion is that she may well consider putting a good deal in some form of another by before parliament for another go although what way hearing is that she may well have to rewrite all redraw of that plan if

it's going to get past the speaker of the house for another go that's what happened when she tried to put it before parliament for a third time what she did then was break it into two parts the political declaration and the withdrawal agreement she just put the withdrawal agreement on its own before parliament parliament voted it down so it may well mean that the government has to reconsider its strategy when it comes to putting it before parliament for another go at the same time m.p.'s. discussing the possibility of holding another round of indicative votes possibly before the end of the week also the possibility of pushing for legislation as early as cheese day sorry yes early wednesday rather for a another chance to block a new deal breaks in the house was being discussed behind closed doors at the moment where a couple of hours or so possibly away from this all important cabinet meeting

coming to an end we're waiting of course for some sort of announcement from the government as to what's going to happen next and you can imagine the leadership in the european union sitting there in brussels sort of drumming if ing is on the table saying well when you're ready. ahead of it we of course were given all the back and forth the e.u. over the other side of the english channel a watching they suppress that horror show very very closely and of course they've got to make contingency plans of their own to inspire confidence amongst all of the e.u. twenty seven member states the a use chief breaks it negotiates and michel barnier has been speaking this morning he said that the prospect of a no deal break sent was looking increasingly more and more likely and that the e.u. at now is now poised to roll out its contingency plans to deal with the possible fallout is what he had to say about and it. was i will decide

or no. never mind desired. but he said it is now prepared. to do more on night. so just to remind to the default position is that the ek leaves the e.u. on april the twelfth if no deal can be banked if no alternative plan comes into force but there is an all important e.u. summit that was convened at short notice on friday. that will take place on april tenth to reason may will of course on down simply be that she may be given two choices to to leave the e.u. without a deal two days later or supposed to be go for it and the extension that could possibly see the government being dragged into getting involved with european

parliamentary elections that's an entire political process and procedure the reason maybe didn't want to be drawn into imagined having to vote for officials to take part to would take their seats in the european parliament that's an institution of course the reason why i was hoping that the britain by this stage would have to nothing to do with it would be at a particularly embarrassing position for theresa may if that's the route that she's forced him to going down we wait of course just to repeat the results of this all important cabinet meeting to see what's the government's next move is but as i mentioned m.p.'s are already poised to try and force the government to legislate on a possible against a possible no deal and already talking about having another round of votes to find a plan b. to reason mais stalled deal in london thank you. in

a week from now israelis will be electing their next government and this is how it will work fourteen major political parties vying for one hundred twenty seats in the parliament prime minister benjamin netanyahu of the right wing likud party now seeking a fifth term in office he is the first sitting prime minister however due to be indicted on corruption charges continue to expand illegal israeli settlements no progress made towards establishing a palestinian state either so that's benjamin netanyahu his biggest challenges you have got the full military chief benny gantz and also ye of the blue and white coalition gans's interesting he led israeli forces actually during the gaza war twenty fourteen and on the campaign trail his focus has been on issues things like the rising cost of living and fighting corruption you've also got the gabay who is from the labor party which hasn't actually won an election in twenty years and there are. two palestinian israeli parties in the running kerry force it is our

correspondent in west jerusalem looking at the battle for power. which of these men do israelis want as their prime minister for all the myriad parties and themes to loomed over this campaign the real fight remains benjamin netanyahu versus benny gantz. never a better friend than you for israel's prime minister the strategy has been clear portray himself as the only politician capable of playing in the big league keeping israel safe and scoring wins such as last week's u.s. indorsement it israeli sovereignty over the occupied golan heights like his friend in the white house he's gone on the attack against the media and the legal establishment whose investigation into lavish gifts and alleged media manipulation he calls a witch hunt nonetheless in the middle of the campaign his attorney general decided enough real witches were found to recommend indictment for bribery fraud and breach of trust which netanyahu denies it remained an issue for

a few days on the agenda and then and then the agenda when the news agenda went on elsewhere that it was very adept at moving the news agenda and inventing ideas or using events that happened to to change the public discourse he switched the focus to the mobile phone of his opponent benny gantz after report it had been hacked by iran insinuating it might contain incriminating personal information and you know. not only from my cell phone in recent days the attacks of switch to ganser is mental stability and stamina to go with the mantra that the man netanyahu made army chief in twenty eleven is weak and of the left in response cancer is focusing on new corruption allegations and what he calls netanyahu weakness over gaza nonetheless one former senior israeli negotiator sees gantz taking a different approach on the palestinian issue he doesn't want to continue to rule in the people and this is in israel one of the most important litmus this between.

liber us and the conservative blue and white party is a last minute creation with two other former army chiefs and netanyahu is former finance minister at its helm it's an unashamedly pragmatic project to get netanyahu out of office but winning the election in itself isn't enough it then becomes about putting together a governing coalition of parties represented in the israeli parliament the knesset and even if his likud party comes second at the polls that is where benjamin netanyahu has a distinct advantage but there have also been persistent leaks not totally refuted that dance could under certain conditions agree to serve with netanyahu in a unity government that would be the biggest twist yet in this bitter election season ari force it out west jerusalem well up at the top stories in a moment and then the going hungry in kenya a warning about a growing crisis not just there but in many african countries.

a little bit more towards the southwest hong kong though you could pick up a shower or two with a temperature of twenty five degrees and then very quickly across the philippines things are looking a little bit messy now as that trouble moisture makes its way towards the north manila tempter for you about thirty four degrees but as we go towards the afternoon we could be seeing more showers as well down towards the south plenty of rain across the region but we are watching the development of probably a tropical system out here across southeastern indonesia. a three year investigation into the pro-gun lobby has been employing me to really. reveal secrets. of their. weight. and connection some don't want to expose snake in legacy media. mass shooting. for al-jazeera investigations how to sell

reportedly received millions of dollars worth of compensation from the kingdom the washington post which she wrote for says they have been given expensive homes in saudi arabia as well as large monthly payments the article also says she's two sons and two daughters may soon get payouts worth tens of millions of dollars each as so-called blood money today is actually six months since jamal khashoggi was murdered in turkey you want to have a little look back then about how the case unfolded your remember he was a saudi reisa columnist for the washington post and a u.s. resident. had lived in the u.s. and self-imposed exile since twenty seventeen after writing and broadcasting critical comments about the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman now according to c.c.t.v. footage which we've seen many times now entered the saudi consulate in istanbul at one fourteen pm on october second last year he was going into the consulate to get papers to certify his divorce he needed those documents so that he could marry his

turkish fiance a teacher changes a teacher was waiting outside the consulate for him three hours later a teacher asked consulate staff where is jamal she was told he had left the building by a back door that took two weeks for saudi authorities to finally allowed turkish investigators inside that consulate and ten days later after repeatedly changing the story and even denying any knowledge of the charges whereabouts saudi arabia finally admitted yes he'd been the victim of premeditated murder inside the consulate building to hate international pressure on the saudi leadership specifically the crown prince andrew symonds. the cia may have pointed the finger of suspicion of mohammed bin so ruler of saudi arabia but nevertheless it's this date itself that's in charge of bringing his killers to justice and maybe other investigations but no one show any sign of taking the case away

from saudi officials who vehemently deny the crown prince ordered because judges murder. turkey has worked relentlessly is attempting to get extradition of the men saudi arabia had accused of being part of a rogue plot to murder because georgie from the very outset turkish investigators suspected the saudis were more engaged in a whitewash than an inquiry and the un has acknowledged that turkey was prevented from getting access to the murder scene at a crucial time turkish leaks to the media showed c.c.t.v. pictures and the names of fifteen men suspected by turkey of having been part of it team that killed in the saudi consulate. turkey asserted that it had strong evidence tape recordings held of the gruesome murder it passed on to foreign governments and the cia but body couldn't be found. also you know to do with getting in the war in iraq was last november the saudi public prosecutor announced

that out of twenty one suspects taken into custody eleven had been indicted and he said five could face the death penalty on charges of ordering and committing the crime and the motion is agreed to u.s. senators have provided some hope for those campaigning for an independent investigation but last month a closed door briefing at the white house ended with little achieved senators including republican lindsey graham said the meeting was a waste of time like many he believes donald trump who on different issues as a close ally won't ever accept intelligence information from the cia that mohammed bin salmond ordered the murder. the un initially reluctant to get involved is now attempting its own inquiry led by agnes kalamata special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions yet made a request to the saudi government for access to the consulate and later she said

saudi arabia is grievously mistaken if it sinks its secretive trial process conforms to international standards the accused haven't been named but one man known to be one of the suspects is reported to have been freed he's souled al khatami who was a close advisor to bin psalm the washington post has quoted unnamed u.s. and saudi sources as saying the crown prince still seeks advice for. andrew symonds. you know jamal khashoggi career spanned decades and for much of it he was actually a supporter of the saudi royal family home advantage has this report now on his life and his work. was by far the most famous saudi journalist his career began in the one nine hundred eighty s. reporting for saudi newspapers on the soviet invasion of afghanistan he met and interviewed osama bin laden several times he became an expert voice on al-qaeda and

issues of extremism in the middle east especially after the september eleventh attacks in the united states we can start drawing a plan about others about the bludgers about us our solich are real and over throughout his career continue to support the saudi royal family and to defend saudi both at home and abroad he warned against the dangers of iran's military and ideological expansion in the region he also initially supported the saudi iraqi led military campaign in yemen as well as saudi opposition to president bashar al assad in syria. is reported to have been at one time an advisor to saudi intelligence services but things began to change in late two thousand and sixteen when she was banned from writing or tweeting for several months following criticism of then presidential candidate donald trump in two thousand and seventeen the new saudi crown prince mohammed bin said ma'am or the crackdown on dissidents and critics

sending hundreds of well princes religious and business leaders to prison. feeling he's at risk to lead to the united states while in american exile he started to contribute to an opinion column in the washington post newspaper and published views critical of the crackdown on freedom of expression in saudi arabia he also disagreed with the demonizing of the muslim brotherhood movement by saudi leaders and media despite his criticism refused to consider himself a dissident and the nature of his alleged links to the saudi banned muslim brotherhood movement was never fully established he was not a dissident or opposition as people in the media keep describing him as a man was you know loyal normal saudi citizen he was his main sin is that he was bright he was a maverick and he was outspoken he couldn't hold things back. continue to express

support for the social reforms of the saudi crown prince but he differed with been said man on certain issues and made sure his views were expressed the depth of their differences came to light only after his mad. his close friend the saudi canadian ahmed abdul aziz said he and planning to launch a cyber army on social media to advocate freedom of speech in saudi arabia. reported to have met the former saudi ambassador to washington more than once and had been said many reassured him the kingdom would welcome him home with open arms those reportedly misleading gestures of goodwill apparently encouraged him to visit the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second taught in documents to get married she was never seen again soon it became common knowledge that's been said man had ordered saudi intelligence agents to return home by any means u.s. intelligence services cited had been said man voice message saying he would go
