4:12 pm
congress can ask for an individual's tax documents from the iraqis directly from the i.r.s. in the past the i rest always have those tax documents over there's no precedent for the ira's not to hand over the tax returns so the question is whether donald 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 money laundering all has calmed interest as president that the president he's making policy in order to enrich himself whether any of these allegations are in fact true. the french president

4:15 pm
end of the national debate he hopes will appeal to yellow fest supporters and end the unrest but some analysts say it won't be easy that's the big danger is that you you have a minority movement that has the support of a small majority so how do you reconcile that that's the biggest challenge because not everybody among the universe want the same thing some people talk about spending power the increase in income more or less taxes and so on and others talk about. democracy mike ross says that the weekly protests have damage the economy and france's image but grab it in his fellow yellow vests say they won't give up their battle until the government improves the lives of people in the countryside like them who feel abandoned natasha butler al-jazeera on france and the u.s. secretary of homeland security says the mexico border is a breaking point that is out of the number of central american families seeking

4:17 pm
public outcry the asylum seekers were moved many are being released to charities that provide temporary shelter the release says that are coming from border patrol or not as organized there they're coming in and their release is that are happening in a different type of theory that a president donald trump says he's going to close the border this week if the flow of migrants doesn't ease already his administration has moved some officers away from ports of entry to the front lines of the humanitarian crisis but even as those close to the president claim the focus is on saving lives trump accuses the asylum seekers of fraud you have people coming up here you know they're all met by the lawyers the lawyers of and they come out they're all met by the lawyers and they say say the following phrase i am very afraid for my life are i am afraid for my life ok and then i look at the guy he looks like he just got out of

4:23 pm
salah as a temporary leader because he's a long time to do to flee the ally to slocum's where bay clear they were calling. war the departure of that as well so don't want the transition to be led by any member who was close to the plan and to what i have said so i don't think that they will be acceptable left. protests turned to celebrations at the news of both the flee his resignation weeks of demonstrations as well as growing pressure on him to step down from the head of the army and other commanders who once supported him forced the eighty two year old to reverse his announcement to stand for the fifth time as president bush of lee has made few public appearances since suffering a stroke six years ago his critics say he's been a front man for military and business leaders who really run the country protesters

4:25 pm
sciences and she joins us via skype now from algiers and you saw just a moment ago in rob's report dahlia her name is a resident scholar at the carnegie middle east sentence she joins us from beirut and from london we have algerian journalist jim aladin part of. all of you so let me start with you what do you make of the announcement on on tuesday night that mr bush flicka would in fact resign immediately and we are now already in the post beautifully well indeed and i believe. a lot of the army as well because the least it's the second act well that's an awful lot of frustration really it's just a little too far well look because it was jewish and letting the people actually know the situation and have been you know not going. to make sure when every
4:26 pm
channel is and you should go and live the saturday. people want has nothing to do with what i'm talking about the total of all of midrash and i. did a lot of talk with in both the presidential palace and will have to read you there just. constantly and i'm going to will use these demonstrations not just. the demand. has the power of that you know need to be built i mean a lot of bands included in favor of the army and of the remaining people of the regime in atlanta but you think as i mean. granted that in some international media even with the rest of the day you think. not because. it just doesn't suit. our mission i mean it's not because of the put downs that
4:27 pm
the situation will be about the moment. it's really people who are very proud of them found their village feel that it is because of. that they have been able to i reached its rich industry still but also question a lot of questions. even if. i'm not one for just that by you folks so that. you chose to do so. the iranian if we just take a step back for a moment look at look at what happened in the last couple of days before this we had mr beautifully because of the saying on monday that the president would would step down at the end of april and he and he would take what we call important steps to ensure the continuity of the leadership in the country and that fueled fears that the people around him were were trying to cement their hold on power then we
4:28 pm
had general salam. announcing that they would activate destress ija in the constitution to remove the sitting president was that the army essentially making a preemptive move here to keep their their position of power. and howard protestors in the streets going to go to interpret that well i think of that you know first of all we have to say that the cut call for any of that happened all during all these weeks showed that the movement to this peaceful and very civic movement to took at the we jim off guard the algerian regime wasn't expecting such a scale of mobilise ation and i think this is a big victory for the algerian people but again there is so much that they still have to achieve that i think of the declaration of gates has special of the last
4:29 pm
one was a very threatening and i believe that president would fear i had no choice that then to resign concerning the military it is very important to point out something that is the wall that the military has been playing in. politics since the independence and the country and till today and i can states today and yesterday we saw it again with the declaration of chief of staff ghaith saleh as that the military are still. the locus of power in algeria they are not governing but they are ruling as actually historian mohammed had to be stated once to read it rightly he said all states in the world have an army and in an area the army has a state and i think this is still true today and the algerians are bit scared of that because while they recognize the positive role that the military has been player playing they don't want to gates to become what sisi became
4:30 pm
in egypt so they want also the military to step back and to come back to their barracks and they don't want to go as a matter of fact when i marched with the jury and saw on march twenty second and on the march twenty ninth their slogans were very clear they chanted their offer or here beautifully how dramatically gates which means go go boots and take with you gates. jamila did thought it was few what's your view on this and the army's position here because if they are trying to paint themselves as kind of the guardian of the people in this but also trying to preserve their own power how are how is that how long is that position going to last the longer they continue to be seen as pulling the strings. and as as
4:31 pm
a says not going back to their barracks. well the agent they sent a clear message they don't want the egyptians you know to whom they give even an opportunity to the army for why not a portuguese sort of spanish you know on the other me help here like they did in there in portugal in democratic transition democratic. smoothly with the help of the algerians algeria's our vote they know they won a big a great button and there were scenes of jubilation but there is also caution that they don't trust the army they welcomed the gates made he was i think would put up a day and a day and he sided with the algerians to fight to win this bottle but there's still there is his patients caution and they don't want to give. all the
4:32 pm
confidence to gates that are even cause for gates to give a nod or a. opportunity to algeria and here's to a point maybe a successor a younger successor in the army to help us here for to open a new chapter and its history and she made history with a big war of liberation a big clue for lucian for a liberation good sir can't can gain a lot of steam even history will will mark him if he helps argyria and the army to make the mute evolution of the democratic revolution maybe to have even impacts and the repercussions in the arab world word cloud with many dictators and well when with twenty six and many oligarchs a demand is said earlier that algerians don't want the egyptian scenario just
4:33 pm
explain what you mean by. they don't want to see she knew she should like what happened in egypt the army sacrificed mubarak and then know what happened there and sisi is in control with the what what we know what's happening in asia they don't want to repeat they don't want to be fooled by the words of gates praising. the uprising they don't they don't want a chance in the continue to have the same regime they keep they got rid of good fear and they keep the same vision they're not satisfied they're not happy that's been solid for example where no one will hate the figure of a face of of the regime continue as well they don't want to do it they don't want between the prime minister to continue as well appointed but for the copy for his it is in existing nation did we was the the interior minister accused of corruption
4:34 pm
of rigging the elections and of police brutality as well. becker how would you gauge the mood in algeria right now i mean we saw all the jubilant scenes the night before at the announcement that the flicker was resigning but the protesters there have made it clear that this is all about much more than than one man so how how patient do you expect them to be about this yeah i believe algerians how well beyond the opposition for a new strongman it doesn't next talk about elections about reined in can you even within the green you can use a version of the nation within even within the ranks of the army and what isn't what's instead of actually my opinion that's what it will still or the court just as have been demanding to solve the leadership crisis that argentina has been in actually since nine hundred sixty two last nine hundred sixty three and even more
4:35 pm
so with the are able of the few kind have been ninety nine well built that means that you know actually i now have a leadership that is very specific that have abused it sounds kind of the a functioning with the army and a kind of steely instax that that would feel powerless and counted until until recently and we need to solve this issue a lot of positive aspects of what happened this past two weeks is that the army has somehow even if we didn't get the army in chief in chief that didn't want to do so it's has time to find a role the the role of the army miracle at the end of the army is stealing the still manage the country and the other and capable to to make you aren't get rid of all that and a politician are another so this. is very important also because actually that's something that was at the heart of
4:36 pm
a good fit has versus the army and the security service competition. anytus transitional justice you know that after the stupid work on the so-called the order there has been the publication of a chapter for reconciliation and this chapter is actually stays that no longer can we just size the security forces are the army but anything that they have done during the ninety's and even after still actually this the transition that took place between your cap and the army. basically that be careful if you were. talking to me about crime were i will talk to you about your correction and corruption of your of your family that has ended today but the question re meant so really despise is this leadership presence is really at the heart of what will the institutions the newest additions argyria be and the transitional justice trade
4:37 pm
sample you can have a very specific concept of time such as the don't want you. to get twenty mph an example the cattle to those few businessmen that have been a risk that by night without any kind of a fair and ensure trials this has been practiced sized by the by the old and the asking well we don't understand cannot function in we want a true transitional justice when a readout of renewing the youngster dushan so this is really not an with bringing a new strongman that all of this question especially the crisis will be solved. the protesters made it clear from the beginning that they want a clean break here how how confident or how skeptical perhaps are you that there will be this this this complete transition of power democratic transition and that we will see at some point elections that will reflect truly the will of the people
4:38 pm
. well for now algerians have been you know successful at achieving tangible object if the first one was no to the fifth term and the second one was yesterday the rizieq nation of president have that as is beautiful but their demand to remain and change that so they want to not only the departure of would flip which they achieved but they wanted the departure of clan put flipper supporters of all the guard gates and they wanted the army to stop playing of that important political role that it has been playing since the independence of the country in one nine hundred sixty two and as the slogan said it and that became very famous said it in the hell gar which means you will all be removed so this is what our asking for but i am afraid that you know it is not a one man show as i wrote it in the month my new york times piece behind the man
4:39 pm
behind the beautiful there is a very complex and all park system of power and structures of power behind the built flipper there is his club and there is tribal and regional ties there is the business elite or there is the military there is the f.l.n. of a cheek it is a very complex and all part circles of power it is what is called the approve watch or the deep state and it is very important to know to that to this deep state is very well rooted and it will be very difficult to in rooted if i may say so this is the biggest challenge of four algerians next so i think what the movement can do for now is to follow few steps the first important step is for the movement to keep structured the second step is for the movement to remain peaceful it is very important you know algerians gave the word the very beautiful lesson of pacifism
4:40 pm
and they need to continue and that in order you. not to trigger any form of repression from the security forces bet of the movement for now i believe it needs to push for the removal of this government that has been appointed by president put before his departure because according to the constitution now he actually appointed people to pilot the transition and this is what the movement should say no to they should say no to been silent or they should say no to all those minister who have been appointed yesterday by president put flicka and they need to continue focusing on one demand which is the removal of the region but again let us be realistic about what can be achieved and what cannot be achieved for the moment it is true that the algerian thanks to this movement had very tangible objectivity and very. great success but the deep state will remain i think for
4:41 pm
a long time in algeria. jamila dean we there's been people have talked about seeing what's happened in algeria and the protests in sudan as well that this this could trigger a kind of second arab spring perhaps is it is a premature to be talking about that or or or is there do you mean do you draw similarities between what we saw back in two thousand and eleven across the middle east and this. this point particular we have to be cautious also there is the mystic fructose and also foreign factors we have to take in consideration that our contribution to topple is in that of strict forces who they don't want. this for devolution democratic revolution. to achieve its goals true to the success of this uprising those were the ones we have seen and there are even like
4:42 pm
there is speculation as well of. many visits of the chief of the stuff to immigrants for example there is that all of europe of thralls in particular in france in particular which was bucking the beginning clearly and who would lead to many slogans even some of the slogans against marco against force no friends there is like a sense like a shift in the position of process the no algerians will do will come with the start of a jury and they took to the streets this really even enjoy full it was like a carnival of democratic all backgrounds of of here yes and also they don't want any interference. from any part of the world if from the worst impulse of the arab states as well that to or to stop
4:43 pm
chileans achieving the dream there are forces yes there are forces the mystic forces with those who don't know don't don't want change in algeria and there are also foreign forces they would not be happy that this peaceful demonstration because if cheeriness achieved their main goal of reaching change i believe they would be done if occasion. on the world that the dictators in the arab world are really afraid are really in. the they don't sleep actually maybe because of what's happening in algeria the algerians took to the streets peacefully moves returns democratic change and hope and i believe and they have i have a deep belief that a genius who took two districts in this organize not monitor in this peaceful
4:44 pm
