them from human exploitation such as other fishing and deep sea mining clock as more the largest and least protected places on our planet are the high seas that is the enormous areas of deep ocean that lie beyond national jurisdictions they cover more space than all the continents combined containing ancient coral reefs and trenches deep enough to hold mt everest these vast blue worlds of the highways for whales for sharks for turtles and for tuna traveling fowls and of models it's home to an extraordinary array of biodiversity crucial to the health of our planet this life drives the ocean's biological pump capturing carbon at the surface and storing it deep below without this would contain fifty percent more carbon dioxide and the world would be too hot for life but the global oceans are under threat

facing growing exploitation including unregulated fishing and the emerging deep sea mining industry through climate change ocean acidification and plastics well got a toxic mix now in a new report commissioned by greenpeace scientists from oxford and york universities in the u.k. laying out how it's crucial that at least thirty percent of the world's oceans are protected as a chanson trees by twenty thirty this they say would protect habitats and species it would rebuild biodiversity and allow ecosystems to recover and crucially they say it would lead to an increase in fish tanks outside the sanctuaries hoping to underpin global food security well our families from greenpeace usa he says more oceans sanctuaries would help reverse some of the damage. the first step that needs to happen is a global treaty that would set up a framework that would allow us to create these ocean sanctuaries right now the

sixty percent of the ocean that is called the high seas has no legal framework that would allow such protections to be put in place but as we speak there is a united nations meeting happening that is discussing such a framework and basically all of the countries in the world need to come together and agree on this the idea of a sanctuary is almost as almost like a bank so you you have these areas that are becoming depleted because of overfishing because of plastics because of climate change and you set them aside and that allows the species that live there to recover and to regrow and some of these processes that we're starting to see degrade can start to come back. time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera the u.s. house judiciary committee has begun legal proceedings to get the full report on russia's role into the twenty sixteen election president trumps attorney general

the al jazeera off the street. or just. what was the glimpse of the country to go we listen children are deeply affected because of war we meet with global news makers and the stories that matter. here in the stream today is three stories in one show algeria's political future what lies ahead plus a look at chad's social media ban added online free speech case in uganda you can join today's conversation we're reading your live comments and questions on you tube and twitter stream. my name is on my

research. i mean you are in the stream. after six weeks of protests calling for political reform and an end to the algerian president's twenty years in power. agreed to step down on tuesday according to state media but it doesn't appear to be the and for the popular movement for reform here to talk to us about our jarius next steps in beirut and then a resident scholar at the carnegie middle east center and infest morocco. and activists really good to have you here ladies and i'm just thinking in the last few weeks on social media the pictures of the protests have been so compelling but now that the president for algeria has stepped down what do you see there was a lot of enthusiasm online and is represented. in this suite this is father who

writes in yes we can and guess we just did it the president has a few has resigned indeed we are happy for this because it's an achievement but we should not forget that this is just one of so many demands we are seeking to achieve and will god willing and salo we will keep it peaceful you can see the enthusiasm there but also the hope for what is to come next you were just there on friday and i know you have plans to return again on this coming friday what are your friends and family who are there and were there yesterday what are they telling you about the mood on the street right now they are both celebrating but also awaiting the next demonstrations that will get izing harder. and they're hoping for a bigger protests a larger turnout because they understand the they may have removed the face of the regime but the system is so is still very much intact and

they are seeking to dismantle it in its entirety and to build from here and effectively to develop the future leadership of the nation danios who showing that celebrate videos of the streets of algeria in different places you were smiling so brutally is this mission accomplished all we done and do you take a moment to enjoy what you were protesting about. well you know as you may know i participated in that they were all stray ssion on march twenty second and march twenty ninth and i did as the political analyst that i am but also. with my heart as an un jury and citizen and i can't not say that i am very happy and very proud of what the people have achieved without any drop of

blood being shed and i think a gene gives a beautiful lesson of peace and how a peaceful movement can achieve goals however you know i am not skeptical that maybe i am realistic. you know there is still things to be done and algerian is that their demands are still you know they still have a lot of. it is sure that the men left but that algerian system is not a one man show behind them and there is a complex and all but regime and julian's are today asking for us to go to the party but also for the all of the guard to depart and including the chief army chief of staff again as a matter of fact on friday twenty nine they were seeing in the who would flee i would imagine gates side which means go go would flee and seek with you gates. go

daddy or you said this is not a one man show and that was just a good way to sum up what people online are saying because they say it is so much bigger of course than just put a flicker through this as i expect the protests to grow bigger with a flick of resignation is just the first step in shaping the contours of algeria's political future this should not be about the president alone it should be about overhauling an entire political structure anchored on a leader's i'm now through the year on twitter got a response from another member of our commune. he talks he writes and says the first thought that came to me was it's about time but you are one hundred percent correct the entire political structure needs overhauling i hope they can do it but it's hard malea how would protesters and opposition members even go about that the answer is is not a clear one there isn't simply one to give and i think the protesters are very

clear about that and they're in they're in it for the long haul speaking to demonstrate to they said you know we'll continue marching for a year to however long it's going to take for our country to be rejuvenated for a complete transformation of our society a complete redistribution of wealth and a complete. with the idea. our liberation struggle the for of our national struggle and identity and i think that it is with those aspirations in mind they are not looking for quick solutions or band-aid they're looking for long term. revolutionary what so early as today a pool of the on the streets people were still protesting have a look just because of the to the president that you know with all your power gates on the we're here to say to you and your clear get out because it was. for the

folks over there not against gay it's a law the army chief of staff who is part of the system part of the current regime doesn't do remember but. i know you've written about this opinion piece in the new york times opinion another battle of algiers and you're talking here about the entire political system the military's involvement in it so if people are still protesting what do they want now remains that president now want. well the people are sick of this a regime that has been hijacking the country if i may say and the political system and the economic welfare there for the last twenty years not to say as a matter of fact since the independence of the country in one nine hundred sixty two people are fed up with with also this all to either shift we are talking about a country in which more than fifty five percent of the population is under age twenty

five so people are generally in want a leadership that is younger and that can actually written exam them as one a protester said it once and he said it in french grammar. meaning i want to president who is able to to read so behind the you know the joke of there is a generation that is really capable of that and they're standing where it is at stake and we've seen it you know algerian showed a great degree of political maturity they stood up for their rights and they did it in a very peaceful way as they said of the protests they'd still mia which means peace well and also how about a yard which means that. and i think what they want to day is to remove this all the guard but also you know while it is true that algerians have been asking for the military to engage and to remove they are also aware are the

egyptians scenario if i may say they don't want to have another you know c c if i may say in algeria so this is why they've been asking gates to move and as a matter of fact i think that if gates saleh the chief of the army chief of staff moves and resign it will be it will be very good for him and. you know he would be remembered as this great. general who made a historic. bet i think it is time for him to resign. if the president was on twitter he would see things like this this is chris who writes nothing is new under the sun the military will take over and bring back some rogues belonging to the old man's political party things will get worse and algeria and less democratic forces are really vigilant so that raises a few questions that another person in our community a former gaston

a woman you heard just at the top of today's show yes i mean i loose here's the question she raised what we're seeing now is the transition and headed now by. the head of the national people's council and. now the last question surrounding the role of the military after going to the last. and also what type of transition. to be reflective of the democratic aspirations of people. going to be and then reflect. sunni insurgents have very little appetite to see and long it's just. so she raised very valid questions there and then joe here on youtube watching live picks up saying what's the likelihood of the military allowing a genuinely democratic system to take hold in algeria mali i'll give that one to

you. well. during protests. you know in many rounds now have demonstrated they're not willing to wait for them to deliver it all to create this transition if you will they will shape what comes next and they will decide it and they will make their opposition to whatever is proposed very very clear and i think it's important to bear that in mind that the german people are not waiting for the remnants of the regime to provide them with what they think is a suitable leadership they will decide on and they will deliberate on the streets. and we're just going about to wrap up here that many i'm just looking at the picture if you protesting this is a couple of weeks ago are you still going to go out and protest do you have more protesting if you i have much more protests being in me and i will be alongside the algerian people especially as a member of the algerian diaspora it is incredibly powerful i'm moving to be

amongst my people marching demonstrating and demanding freedom are you going to be out on the streets again are you done yes you know i just came back from jews to days ago and i am and again to come back so defend that yes you will be joined by federer who tweets and the protests will continue on friday april fifth peacefully we want them out. thanks so much for joining us and now to chad where it's been more than a year since the chatty and government block social media access to its citizens use of services like whatsapp facebook and twitter was cut off amid economic and political anxieties in the country listen to what chatty an activist can by deed i mean had to say about the band's impact. let them in with the mothers a sense of the. indispensable is in the time our. sense of last if only i deliver this on the. do this in our jails or our says it's.

as if they will. last our city. a good. example for us all to. see my sister sell. them on your automatic all i will with them are. listen to this dream a little qualities of the decided the only one that is it's just some of the money that ensued we're here to tell us more about this story from a prophet licia antonio the african freedom of expression exchange and the network of freedom of expression and media rights advocacy organizations in africa welcome to the stream for leisha i want to start here with the author of this piece on african arguments child social media ban reaches one year mark and it's published just a few days ago that is from samuel what amounts to right the social media blackout in chad began on the twenty eighth of march twenty thousand budding protests that

broke out after constitutional recommendations were made that would allow the president to rule in til twenty thirty three the recommendations have since passed into law and given the timing it's reasonable to assume that this blackout was unforced in an attempt to prevent protests from spreading so he explains there the reason behind this but police are what can you tell us about why it has lasted so long. thank you very much money. i would like to say about that if not the. government president you so internet shut down for social media blackout that's been called protests. like their rights are rightly said the government of chatter thought that through the use of social media blackout in order to rip rights protests ongoing for closed during their moments during their period for instance on march twenty eighth. there was a protest and the government have barred persons drinking for me and this is

a trend that is going on in the on the african continent where if there is governmental like uganda coming through in sudan congo or rather grow as well as they do you are seen to mention but if you have resorted to do you think such repressive measures during protests are important national events like finnish let me let me just illustrate that in that point is an organization called suppressor and they're called the collaboration on the international i.c.t. policy for east and southern africa and they actually illustrated the cost impact of what happens when you shut down the internet have a look here on my laptop as you mention there are other countries have also put a stop on the internet maybe banding for a little bit a little bit of time look at how much money these countries are losing and just focus here on chad over three million dollars over that amount tell us about the impacts that are happening to people when you shut down the internet in china for

a year what seemed to us like you you said. i don't want feedback resorting to the you saw in kind of side downs it's like should send yourself in default and that is the government. so all fired the economic implications of internet shutdowns we have the political fallout implications which means that most of the government's going to be needed that's when do we use internet shutdowns our network destruction is able to call protest but those has proven wrong because what i ask you and progress back in sudan a few months ago the government you saw today you support this today you stop internet shutdown but we still have this citizens under streets protesting what their rights about the war through their order change that they want to see in their country and a little let's listen and chat here because i'm just really curious about how does your life change with no internet for a year give us an example. for instance we all know about the internet has become

very critical in our daily lives and soul. so it was in todd forest. it means that it's never been. there one year without it without access to social media platforms and that you cannot communicate really with your partner needs and friends. and i thought of. how to extend that communication beyond boundaries and soul a you know about incredible means that you could not easily called me to create you could not use me maps where i swore i was. going to happen it's ironic you and also to come to an issue for freedom of expression obviously if social media blackout is affecting their work or generalised especially generalities that use social media platforms it disseminates data information going to a loss because they cannot reach the audience that do you think reach a yet a goal and sole income i should balance our next red disruption with evolution

playground politian of their fundamental freedom of expression rights and access information rights of citizens abdul karim here on twitter but agree he says everyday life of chatty and deeply impacted social media has created a deep connection between people of rural areas urban and diaspora and the shutdown has disconnected them the flow of information has stopped in time i read one more from samuel who illustrates that point even further he says the blackout house and friends and citizens freedom of expression and right to information with increasing international pressure and mounting local activism there are hopes that they will be forced to restore access freesheet you being on the string today thank you so much for the share next a story out of uganda where academic and government critics to lead the anzhi is being tried for a sense of communication and cyber harassment now this isn't how first run in with the saudis listen to her address the court in

a similar case in two under seventy. this regime has offended this country i'm happy to take on the month of insanity i am happy to take on the most over of the truth stand up if this montoya is going to be the only time that's the region will be told the boat offense to the people of uganda and therefore yes i have written a lot to your own know. about those who rule us about funding the rule a botnet pushes him issues that could be offensive to those who are the offenders of this nation however yours oh no. i'm not guilty of the face of communication. nancy has been detained since november after posting a poem on facebook about ugandan president us seventy ladies trial began last week and with us to talk about the case. community a journalist and the editor of african feminism if you didn't know steadily n.z.

when you saw that clip roseboro you would want to know a whole lot more for our international audience what more can you tell us about her and why she's in so much trouble. thank you turner is a very weak the person and she knows the power of the pair and the power of using. words that steep out of the social norm not only to discern ruppert those in power but also to upset social norms that how she gained all this following from facebook . building on her research and using in deploying vulgarity to challenge power so she is one of the most powerful people to communicate to bring back about goatee which is very much in our you know in uganda he street where ugandans deployed read good rudeness against the british colonisers so she's bringing back that he's tree and people don't know what to do with her for for many people she has the power to

arrest you and tell you that which you would not want to hear in the ways you wouldn't want to hear so she will get that power in she's in jail because she is being charged with offensive communication in disturbing the peace of the president so we need to hear how would the peace of the president be disturbed it has to be a person deploying challenging power in a very unconventional manner you mentioned radical rudeness as being her tactic their fear on twitter says that her tactics aren't really the issue here the issue is african governments are cracking down on dissidents and because culturally women are supposed to speak their voices are criminalized brutally which is picking up on and on the point you were making there but we also got a video comment rosewell from someone who says why she is so important this is shari out of a crowd and here's what she told the stream what does dr suryani unseasoned to visit me to me it means bravery in the face of oppression it means speaking out and

in particular as a black african woman daring to speak out at the risk of losing your job or at risk of being humiliated and the risk of even injustice in the courts still resisting and speaking your truth and also inspiring the use who compose seventy seven percent of you can its population seventy seven percent of them are under city and. her resistance her strength is really inspiring not only for ugandans but on also for africans across the continent and the diaspora and i hope this pushes for more solidarity and support for us all to improve our societies rosa talk to us about the impact that u.c. cell are having. i think the impact taylor has is she's not just a conventional protest are challenging power she has the power of intersectionality last year she organized a women's much to challenge to protest to women being murdered in uganda she had

trump and his political and business circles that's what congressional democrats are demanding and on wednesday voted for the justice department to turn over this committee requires the full report and the underlying materials because it is our job not the attorney generals to determine whether or not president trump as abused his office democrats on the judiciary committee in the house of representatives are furious the attorney general william bar appointed by president trump did not meet their april second demand to turn over the report whether trump and his team colluded with russia during the twenty six thousand election campaign or obstructed justice during the investigation that followed the attorney general recently released a four page summary of the nearly four hundred page moller report saying there is no evidence the president worked with moscow to win the white house bar has promised only to provide

a redacted copy by mid april with publicans accuse democrats of i'm necessarily prolonging the collusion debate that there is that ordinated attempt by the democrats to undermine the president of the united states and this is all about the twenty twenty presidential election but democrats believe trump supporters in congress are trying to suppress evidence of potential criminal misconduct by the president last month when the special counsel concluded his report even trump supported making it public thank you very general but it wouldn't bother me at all but as the debate rages about its release trump is now dialing back that statement so i think it's somewhat of a waste of time this is just politics at a very low level the judiciary committee wants evidence and test. from past white house officials wednesday's vote means it could subpoena that information at any time the question is whether the justice department will comply if the attorney

general refuses he could be held in contempt of congress that sets up a lengthy legal confrontation between the justice department and the congressional body that oversees it kimberly help al-jazeera washington well now to the scrutiny of donald trump's taxes democrats have launched a bid to get the president's personal tax and business returns lost the internal revenue service the iris to hundred to six years of information were under audit despite what people said they were. working that out as i'm always under audit it seems but i've been under audit for many years because the the numbers are big and i guess when you have a name you you're audited but until such time as i'm not under audit i would be enjoying to do thank you. here's more from washington d.c. . there had been a certain amount of disgruntlement among the democratic base that's taken so long

for the democrats who now control the house of representatives to ask for donald trump's tax returns but now finally they are acting and what's interesting is how they are trying to get hold of six years of tax returns not using subpoena power but can be used by congress now using the tax code itself under the tax code congress can ask for an individual's tax documents from the iraq directly from the i.r.s. in the past the i rest always hands those tax documents over there's no precedent for the i.r.s. not to hand over the tax returns so the question is whether dog trump will now fight this in court he seems to be indicating he is still reluctant to hand over his tax returns but what members of congress are trying to ascertain once and for all is whether donald trump has been misleading the american public and the world at large about how much he's worth his income his charitable contributions but

perhaps more significantly whether the allegations of the trump has been involved in bank fraud and tax fraud or money laundering all has calmed interest as president but as president he's making policy in order to enrich himself whether any of these allegations are in fact true the man accused of the new zealand must attacks will now face fifty charges of murder police say australian born brendan tarrant will also be charged with thirty nine counts of attempted murder when he appears in court in christchurch on friday fifty people died in the attacks during friday prayers last month new zealand's prime minister has banned the sale of assault rifles and semiautomatic weapons following the shootings. but you have backed government in tripoli has gone on alert as troops loyal to the warlord early for have to head towards the libyan capital his soldiers have posted a video online showing a large convoy of heavily armed vehicles on the move after hours power bases in the east but he's older his forces to head west towards tripoli to fight what he called
