dimity yesterday and today including the fact that the u.n. secretary went to meet him and give him that legitimacy the fact that if the security council does not strongly condemn him by name and followed through with its promises over the years that it will put anybody any spoilers or any anyone who uses military means to impose political solutions in libya that they will be put on sanctions i think that will strengthen him more and that will divide the country it will delay the peace process and i think it can open the country towards syria's civil war because he's not going to enter tripoli without a serious and very bloody war. and that was a risk also opening libya all over again to powers like that. if the u.n. does if the u.n. names him points a finger at him do they not however run the risk of maintaining the status quo i.e.

they run the risk of keeping him locked in to being part of the problem not part of the solution. well they've tried to include him in the solution for the last three four years and they have consistently failed that has demonstrated over and over again and yesterday and today demonstrated his distain for any political solution in libya and his insistence on a military solution he wants to impose his will on the ground by force and that's that i think it is clear that he is no longer a real player in the political process or a peaceful political process and i think the international community has to really live up to its words and promises over the years there are other militia groups in play in the current scenario there is ice so in the shadows in the southern third

of the country as well so how much genuine power does he have that he can deploy if he chooses to. i'm not sure that he has absolute power over the years it has been obvious that the militias that make up his his force. are you know loyal to him to some extent but but not fully for example a big chunk of forces are the sellafield islamised groups who are extremely close to the ideological background of the irish and al qaida. and these people for example one of their senior leaders who has been named by the international community as a war criminal and the international court has demanded his surrender have to was never able to do to give him up and he is still very free to roam to roam in

benghazi even though there are very clear video evidence of him executing people in a very barbaric way with without any cause. i think that also shows that he cannot really impose his will on some of these people like the salaries for example that easily there are also the groups that your correspondent has just mentioned from that huna those by the way just as a reminder those are the people who tried to enter tripoli in august and are sent selamat extracted promises from them that they they would retreat to never do that again under the threat of being named after the well i'm going to have to let you have a direct which lawyer joyce but i really do appreciate your contribution over the past few hours here on al-jazeera good to talk to us of. thank you peter thank you lots more still to come here all the news for you including the stories will be

live on the u.s. border with mexico ahead of a visit by the u.s. president donald trump. and life after the genocide we hear from survivors twenty five years old. and in sports the milwaukee bucks and a half century way to set the best record of the n.b.a. season will be with us with that story in about thirty minutes. hundreds of thousands of algerians are on the streets of the capital as they're demanding even more changes to the government after reports came in saying the intelligence chief was sacked on friday and their long time president resigned earlier this week has been a smith. algeria's military might be disappointed if it was hoping that the resignation of president. would dampen enthusiasm for government protests hundreds of thousands of people are back on the streets nationwide for

a seventh friday for them beautifully his resignation earlier this week is only a first gesture all of that here we demand. these gangs to go all of them including . we cannot remain silent anymore we are no longer afraid of you you have killed our children and started the whole nation. we have seen nothing from day g m forty one years old and i can hardly make a living we are hoping for a better. moved to sideline beautifully his allies are continuing intelligence chief bashir ta-ta has been fired at earlier this week eight businessmen had their passport seized as they're investigated for corruption the state television showed a clearly frail eighty two year old beautifully handing in his resignation on tuesday and i think what's happened now is that certain grad schools are being settled the result is that tartaglia is no one who offers and that begins to remove

some of the infrastructure of the boot of the eager regime but it will only be a beginning and whether it really bligh's a change in the institutions of a slave or not that i doubt very much was algeria is now in the hands of a caretaker government for the protesters have made it clear they won't accept a new president from the approved well that's the nickname for the entrenched veterans of the civil war and business tycoons. for one in every four argyria under the age of thirty as unemployed the economy is dependent on oil and gas beautifully his attempt to stand for a fifth term as president what frustration at the status quo to a had now those elections will be in three months time i was so far no obvious successor has emerged bernard smyth al-jazeera. user is professor of political science accounts are university he joins us now on set

you support. turkeys don't vote for christmas what are the chances the military completely walk away and give the protesters precisely what they want that's a likely because the the protesters are calling for change the overall. system and the military is following those developments and will act according to the wishes of the people in the military will not work where you for long form it will go hunt with what the streets demanding if this goes in the direction that some of the activists in the process there's a saying they want to go is there a chance that they could accept some sort of core military structure even if it was wrapped up in words like transition transitional democratic government that kind of terminology i don't think so. wants is a civilian government they want to get rid off to talk to but exist today

statements by the chief of staff suggest he will listen to the people. obviously we didn't these transition the military will be supervising from a distance still with it but eventually would want the bill to to go back to its box and leave the politicians to do the business does the country have the capability serious questions they have the capability to mount free and fair elections because presumably that's what these demonstrators want and that they're prepared to wait a year or two for the next what most of them are saying but does it have the mindset to to adapt to that kind of system that kind of position yes i think they do because the protests i mean. like sixty percent of the people under the age of forty the people industry that's just this is what they want obviously they want on the. people. supervising this transition once they get the

people committed where the world over forty is go in on and i guess if the completed the democratization process they will end up with a democratically elected government if one kind of gets very granular about this granular rather the protests to say that the tentacles of the regime spread far and wide. who are the candidates or what kind of candidates at that point would the demonstrators accept so it wouldn't be a situation of out with the old in with the old you know because they're not they're clearly not going to want to quote vote for a military guy who's just got rid of the uniform and he's now wearing a collar on time at the moment to do the most immediate. thing that the. sleeve wants to do is to get rid of those people below the number of names a pub been thrown in like that award for example like bush or she from the like been vetoed who was a blood minister so which would to go is it one head of state or the group of

people would accept people from the past as well as people thought the president as long as they did on her and not duty would all they don't have bloods on the hands if they were. lots of them use of her and oh thank you very much thanks and if you're in algeria we'd like you to help us tell this story get in touch with us on what's up or on telegram especially if you are attending a protest today or tomorrow indeed or if you want to share a video or a comment our phone number is plus one seven four five zero one triple one four nine that number as well available via the web site al-jazeera dot com. time to hand you to london is for the city. by so much indeed peace i have to tell you that the european council president donald tusk is proposing a flexible twelve month breck's that delay and that proposed delay is not good in

the u.k. prime minister had for three of them a once a deadline of june the first year but any extension must be agreed by all e.u. leaders at a summit in brussels next week the u.k. is due to leave the bloc next friday but the british parliament still hasn't approved a withdrawal agreement as they would reports. with just a week to go until britain's already delayed departure date from the e.u. the u.k.'s prime minister unable to get a deal through parliament wants to delay breakfast yet again writing to the e.u. calling for an extension until the end of june none of our economy is growing fast enough to guarantee that a no deal scenario wouldn't push us into recession so it's a bad outcome all round and i think the french understand i think germs understand that the e.u. itself wants to avoid the u.k. crashing out with no deal it also doesn't want to series of short delays so the idea of a longer extension possibly

a year is being talked about in brussels but that would have to be approved by all the e.u. leaders at an emergency summit next week so the question will be has the prime minister got sufficient detail and sufficient. can you give your opinion is sufficient assurances that june thirtieth is a sensible day and has a plan of how to get there and will the e.u. think actually the interplay for domestic issues there the european parliament elections is that a sensible date for them and that will be the big question over the next week or so . and an extension could see britain having to field candidates for parliamentary elections in may which will be unpalatable to many of those who voted to leave. to reason may is still trying to win support from both sides of the political divide she's still coming under attack from some within her own party and talks with the opposition are challenging we all want to break this deadlock we want the

talks to continue but compromise does require change writing on twitter the arch euro skeptic conservative m.p. jacob reese more groat if a long extension leaves are stuck in the e.u. we should be as difficult as possible we could veto any increase in the budget obstruct the putative e.u. army and block missed him across integration is schemes and her letter to donald tusk to raise a may makes it clear that the current political impasse simply can't go on the public's faith in politics is being damaged and she acknowledges the e.u. is desire to move on from brick sets. britain could soon find itself out of the e.u. decision making process there's still no clear path as to when that will actually happen emma haywood al-jazeera westminster and al-jazeera is going challenge joins us live from outside the british parliament in central london right now said laurie

is the actually unanimous when it comes to what sorts of an extension it might actually offer to reason i. well i think that the reason the donald to escape is asking for this one year extension is also pretty much the same reason why there are some countries inside the e.u. the i'm sure that this is the right way forward basically they are looking at the parlous state of british politics the fact that it is totally deadlocked in trying to come up with a solution out of the brics an impasse and there are countries france physically but also belgium and spain we're hearing that don't really want that kind of contagion interfering with european business and so they are suggesting that until to resume a comes up with a proper concrete plan that everyone can agree on then why should they agree to such a long extension when it could just get messier and messier messier own particularly

when they see comments like those made by jacob riis morgan we just heard from in his report there saying that we should try and be as difficult as possible if we stay inside the e.u. for a lot longer why would they want that that would just make european business even more difficult or i want to raise them a of course has been talking to the opposition labor party about the way forward to me know how those talks. or they're not going particularly well either we are in the third day of talks between downing street and the labor opposition and a comments from a labor party spokesman earlier was that we are disappointed that the government has not offered real change or compromise to come they want the juries are made to come forward with genuine changes to her deal in an effort to find an alternative that can win support in parliament so labor does not think that the government is actually really budging in its positions at all downing street has come back and

said what we have made serious proposals proposals in talks this week and we are prepared to bring changes to the political declaration in order to deliver a deal that is acceptable to both sides but it seems like that agreement that compromise is still some way off wary and westminster thank you germany has asked the e.u. to find a safe port for a migrant rescue ship that is stuck in the mediterranean sea sixty four migrants were rescued off the coast of libya on wednesday by the german charity c.i. a ship was refused entry into molten germany its interior ministry says a large number of e.u. member states are prepared to take in the migrants and is ready to do its part. hundreds of migrants in greece have been blocked from crossing into north macedonia police ordered the migrants to return to the housing settlements or face sanctions they were trying to cross the border after reading false reports on social media

how i once again welcome to the look of the international full costume fight we still got some wet weather in the full cost for all the middle east that maze iran will see some showers some long spells of rain adding to the flooding concerns here lots of clouds coming out says syria spinning down across iraq it's all making its way further west which we are going to see some more wet weather coming in here as we go on through the next day heavy a shower as to saturday going to be across northern parts of iraq was a caucus is some showers that are just around the southern end of the caspian sea lot of cloud as you can see through much of iran it will not just wave a swiss bhatia skies come back in behind the western parts still staying one of two showers as we go on through sunday some showers still in place that the southern turkey northern parts of syria i would also let's it will warm up it'll brighten up

twenty one celsius four bedrooms warming up to across parts of the right been punished him in doha will touch thirty celsius on saturday could get a thirty two in abu dhabi then a bit of cloud across southern parts is still a few showers in the forecast we see the cloud you can always catch your spot of right well the saudi for example on sunday could see some wet by the but warm in riyadh it's thirty six degrees and whether it's even to the east aside all south africa more lively showers coming through if i were this couple of days. the environment doesn't know any boundaries what goes up into the environment goes around the world. best the sides are pushed on crumbs that it's a very modern way to do probably and we've made poisons the measure of progress in the domestic population has become we're going to push them down from active enough to be seeing it. soon in the ideas of people who are more vulnerable circle of

poison on al-jazeera. around ten million. examining the headlines netanyahu is looking at charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust setting the discussions you're denying that he was beaten by the police i did not sharing personal stories with a global audience explore an abundance of programming designed to inform motivate and inspire americans all the world is watching.

my name's coming to you from recapping your headlines the head of the u.n. says he's leaving libya with a heavy heart after talks with rival forces there and met the leaders of eastern forces were advancing on the capital tripoli with the u.s. backed government is based. just outside tripoli at least one hundred forty five loyal to the warlord after have surrendered to forces allied to the u.n. backed government. hundreds of thousands of algerians are out on the streets of the capital there protesting to demand more change president abdelaziz bouteflika resigned earlier this week. many palestinians believe nothing will change for them whatever the results of the forthcoming israeli elections on tuesday benjamin netanyahu if he wins will become israel's longest serving prime minister netanyahu benefited greatly when his close ally donald trump declared jerusalem israel's capital and move the u.s.

embassy there and just weeks before election day mr trump on twitter said that it was time the occupied golan heights a recognized israeli territory in just the last year israeli forces have killed and maimed palestinian demonstrators as they protested in gaza and the west bank netanyahu has also approved new illegal settlements and expanded existing ones and then there's the so-called nation state law which defines israel as a jewish state effectively done grading palestinian israelis and others to second class citizenship it him reports now from the occupied west bank. part of my. surveys is that mix land and destroyed during crop. here this is living from this land on the slopes of the jordan valley in the occupied west bank the israeli army often if explicit in eons from these hills temporarily the reason military trails activists tell us that israeli army has carried out more than twenty drills in the

jordan valley already this year the war games have damaged large areas of farmland and forced four hundred palestinians to leave for up to three d. the most recent drills because the most damage everything. this is where the tanks came through and made a path. the jordan valley makes up one third of the west bank the u.n. says that around half is this it needed as closed military zone and. palestinians cannot imagine a future state without the jordan valley rich with water sources and agricultural lands highly and other farmers say it's bad news for them that israeli politicians are shifting increasingly to their rights and the girl was developed as a farmer doesn't make a difference to me they're all the same they're two faces of the same coin if they wanted to make peace they would have done so since we signed the oslo agreement twenty five years ago under the also agreement sixty percent of the west bank including part of the jordan valley was put under temporary israeli control those

large pockets of land known as area c. were supposed to be handed back to palestinians this could be the west bank's only boarding area with the outside world that doesn't include israel and the main israeli candidates say that it's off the table when it comes to any future did with the palestinians but palestinian officials say that the israeli claims are not limited to the jordan valley first the jerusalem declination jerusalem as its capital moving the embassy and then now putting their arab syrian. territories of the. under israeli sovereignty i think the third step would be to announce america's the mission of sovereignty resigned over the west bank and fourthly it's a declared very good nation of the state of gaza. many palestinians here have similar fears they see that the faces in the israeli government might change after the election but feel their policies towards the palestinians want me that every messages eda the occupied west bank. the u.s.

president donald trump is visiting the southern u.s. border with mexico the white house says he'll visit the first part of his border wall but contract to say it's a replacement for an old barrier and as part of the u.s. government's one billion dollar project to replace old border controls castro is monitoring developments from el paso texas hi there heidi what are the chances mr trump will deliver on this pledge to shut the border. that's a good question peter because our first the president said that this border shutdown would happen this week and now the latest this morning he said that it may happen at some time if slapping a twenty five percent tariff a mexican auto imports doesn't work which he would only do in another if mexico allows central americans to approach this border so there's a ton of if here and the uncertainty is staggering though president trump again said this morning that his threat is one hundred percent serious but what we do

know is that businesses operating here on the u.s. side of the border are very uncertain and worried. everything made in this metal parts factory in el paso texas is destined for mexico mexican workers just over the border will turn them into sprinklers medical devices and remote controls and the finished products will cross back to the u.s. to be sold to american consumers they don't understand how much we rely on mexico and how much mexico relies on us we are partners. we have to look at it that way factory owner matt keith says if president trump shuts down the border his machines will stop and some workers may be laid off he says it would be unfair for his business and workers to pay the price for an immigration problem they did not

create now he's doubting whether he'll continue to support trump right now there's a lot of negativity towards the president and unfortunately. he's short of brought that on to the shelf mexico is the third largest trading partner of the united states last year more than six hundred billion dollars of goods moved between the two countries aboard trucks and trains a border quotas or at even just a few days would be significant losses for u.s. auto industry and mean rising prices in american grocery stores then there's the personal cost to families split by the border gerri ramos his father was deported to mexico now the son crosses the border daily bringing his father toys to sell in juarez if the borders were to close and that means they would be taking the bread out of his mouth in a paso call each other sister cities the two dependent on each other for economic

survival and now they are also united by the shared uncertainty of what will come next. and the latest report on the u.s. economy which just came out this morning shows that it is still very strong which is a point that trump has defended and is using toward his intended reelection next year so the question is why introduce this uncertainty about the border the working theory is that this just may be another political tool to fire up his base for the president to appear strong in his rhetoric about the border in his claims that have so far not provided evidence for that mexico is responding to in the absence of any real solutions peter thanks heidi well manuel republic was in mexico on the mexican side of the bottom well what's the reaction where you are. peter the reaction has been almost a collective eye roll on the mexican side of the border for one that the right to

buy president trying to shut down the border wall hasn't been taken it too seriously by people on this side of the fence in fact one of the reasons as we heard from heidi s. report is that such an action would be devastating economically both for mexico and for the united states the second would be that this is the second time the president trump is backed down on a threat to shut down the border now earlier today our team had a walked around up and down the section of the border wall just on the other side is where president trump will be touring this section of the wall even now you can see where demonstrations were held earlier both pro and against president trump even now there's an inflatable balloon bearing the likeness of president trump just sort of sort of hovering just above the ground there there were planned demonstrations by migrants that we've heard of on the u.s. side of the fence but we have heard that those demonstrations will not be taking place any more out of fear that these migrant groups could be wrangled up and deported back to their home countries there is one last thing that we do want to

mention in regards to the border wall itself this is a nine metre high fence with barbed wire on top we've been hearing from president from saying quote we're building a lot of wall this part of the us mexico border is actually not seeing any new sections being built contrary to the president's to the president's comments there are replacement walls that are going up this wall behind me is it is one of those replacement walls in additional four meters was added to it as well as that barbed wire but again peter no new sections of the wall are being built on this this section of the us mexico border and the reality when it comes to people trying to cross the border one way or the other year on year is that more people across the border from north to south rather than going from south to north because year on year the mexican economy is going in an upward direction. that's right peter if we look at the demographics themselves the actual flow of it

we're talking about mexican citizens is in the negative there are more mexican citizens returning to mexico finding more opportunities here in mexico when we're talking about the so-called the quote unquote border crisis that the president continues to refer to it refers to central american migrants leaving their homes in the northern triangle of central america countries like on tourist guatemala el salvador in these in this phenomenon known as the migrant caravans that we've been seeing taking place over the course of the last year or so so when we hear president trump continued saying that that the u.s. is going to pressure mexico by closing the border by increasing tariffs there are no specifics on what exactly president trump wants mexico to do to stem the flow of migrants because without addressing the root cause of migration in these countries in honduras guatemala salvador which show high incidences of homicide high rates of poverty rates of corruption there will be no stopping this continuous stem this continuous flow of migration from central america through mexico and into the united states peter well thanks very much i will stay with those pictures of force

one having touched on the quite close to the border with mexico mr trump of course possibly might might not deliver on this pledge this promise to close the border why did your customer make the point that is it electioneering is it in the run up to the next u.s. presidential election not a million miles away from that of course is he trying to energize or reinvigorates his political base is he going for a good photo opportunity is there a real issue still to do with the border he would say being porous being open being too porous being too open the statistics would seems to show just to suggest otherwise as manuel was saying they're confirming for us those statistics we were unpacking for you that figures year on year the mexican economy is getting good and more people are going back to mexico. from the united states compared to the numbers of people who are trying to either claim some sort of states just by

getting across the border or illegally migrating across the border that we have force one with the us president donald trump on board of course air force one is the cole signal that the aircraft is to do with the airplane that the president of the united states is flying on there is another jumbo jet forced to and when you see him get on his helicopter marine one just to give you a little bit of an aviation background element to our coverage of that story so donald trump on the border between the u.s. and mexico continuing coverage that story of course here on al-jazeera throughout the coming hours we have teams as you've just seen on both sides of the border and also you can find background articles linked to that story for our website al-jazeera dot com. one hundred days and at least eight hundred thousand people killed it's been twenty five years since the genocide in rwanda.
