the cloud here is thinning so most of us should have a dry a day on chews day bangkok getting up to around thirty five degrees out whether there will still be quite a few showers expect a few for us in singapore and then further south quite a few of them over parts of somalia and across java even borneo is looking pretty wet particularly in the eastern parts that's where the heaviest rains will be. a city defined by military occupation there's never been an arab state with the capital of jerusalem everyone is welcome but the structural things because only project just what we refuse was one of the soundness of the settlement this and the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people segregation occupation discrimination injustice this is the twenty first century jerusalem a rock and a hard place on al-jazeera.

a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera soldiers in sudan have stepped in to protect anti-government demonstrators in khartoum after security forces gas to disperse them a syrian outside army headquarters is in its third day the e.u. russia and the u.s. are the latest to urge an end to hostilities in libya that's after thousands of civilians fled sunday's fighting in southern tripoli as airstrikes were launched by both the u.n. backed government and forces loyal to warlords before halftime and kristin nelson is leaving her position as the secretary of the u.s. department of homeland security she oversaw some of president trump's most

this debate was launched of course by the french president emmanuel michael to try and give french people more of a say in democracy because that is one of the demands of the yellow vest protesters now what it was doing was basically sketching out some of the main findings from these debates in which as you said you'd only two million people took part or line ten thousand town hall meetings across the country and what felipe says that people in mainly concerned by things like wanting lower taxes more spending power they want more referenda on key political issues and tighter controls on immigration what what happens now says felipe is that all these findings will be put to the national assembly they'll be debated and discussed there they'll then go to the senate and then early next week the french presence of man or michael is expected to respond officially and possibly offer soon new policies based on some of these findings and concerns indeed mother who has promised new policies natasha after

this debate are they likely though to end the yellow vests protests. well that's the big question i mean the french president omar will certainly hope there's some of the policies he's going to offer and he's expected to offer them in sort of little by little from next week through to the summer they will be one big bang if you like he is hoping that that will in some way quell the yellow vest protests which we've seen across france since november there's no doubt that this great debate initiative has in a way dampened down the protests you know back in november there are about three hundred thousand people in the streets of france at the moment every saturday it's only a few thousand that's relatively small for france but the real headache for eman or mark or is the fact that so many people cross france if you believe opinion polls seem to still support the yellow vest protest concerns even though they're not in the streets they do believe that the yellow vests protesters have some real valid

concerns and that's a problem for manno marco so he needs to present some policies that will appeal to as many of the people in the french public as possible but it's not easy because the yellow vest movement itself is so divided there are some who really want lower taxes there are some who want more participation in democracy it's a really wide range and that's what's so difficult for him at all but he hopes that he can convince as many people as possible that he has listened to the french people and correspondent in paris thank you very much for that natasha. israel is closing all crossings from gaza and the occupied west bank for twenty four hours from midnight local time ahead of the general election on tuesday benjamin netanyahu promised to extend israeli sovereignty if his party wins tuesday's vote turkey and the u.k. have condemned the prime minister for his new settlement bans in the occupied west

know that may be a delay on live streaming would be a good thing as an interim measure until it can sort out they really are maybe they just need to know who together i mean it is to acknowledging that is capable of causing great harm. shareholders of nissan have applauded and cheered as the former boss of the japanese car company was fired from the board of directors qantas goan has already been removed as chairman after his a restful financial misconduct in november angry shareholders demanded an explanation for how the scandal was unnoticed for years as a sixty five year old says he's innocent. not to iraq where rising unemployment is provoking growing demands for government action particularly by young people the international monetary fund says youth unemployment is more than double the government's official rate of twenty percent dosage of the reports from baghdad this is hussein osier. he's got a degree in political science but he's here in baghdad's to here square selling t.

on al-jazeera coming up next year it's inside story. it's a quarter of a century since rwanda was torn apart by a campaign of genocide that killed at least eight hundred thousand since then the country's recovery is widely seen as an example of african potential but how much freedom do people there have to of rwanda paying a price for peace this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program dennis now twenty five years ago the world watched as unimaginable atrocities were committed in the rwandan genocide at least eight hundred thousand people were slaughtered within one hundred days rwanda has since made a remarkable turnaround and is often portrayed today as a shining example of what can be achieved in africa when our president paul kagame he has started one hundred days of commemorations by lighting a flame at the genocide memorial it's believed two hundred fifty thousand victims are buried at that site alone will president kagame he says rwanda's recovery is a story of hope for the world you nineteen ninety four

there was no. as good. like reveres. from the splits survivors. are there on their alarms were something left to give. their forgive. one. and that is their forgiveness well since the genocide rwanda has emerged as a model for economic development it has one of africa's strongest economies growing by more than seven percent every year since two thousand it's now the second easiest place to do business on the continent that's according to the world bank and it has more women politicians in parliament than anywhere else in the world

apart president kagame me has been criticised for becoming increasingly authoritarian he won a third term in twenty seventeen with ninety eight percent of the vote human rights watch says laws to control hate speech have been used to silence criticism of the government. all right let's introduce our guests now we have run a z. who is a genocide survivor he fled rwanda in one thousand nine hundred seven and is chairman of the global campaign for rwandans human rights and we're not revealing his location for safety reasons from kampala in uganda we have and removal and who is a member of the presidential advisory committee of president gami in london we have phil clark an assistant professor specializing in african politics at so essence school of oriental and african studies at the university of london thank you all

gentlemen for joining me today can i start with you renee we're not disclosing your location for your own security give us an idea of what has happened to you since you survived the genocide you've obviously arrived in the u.k. why do we have to keep your location secret yes. in two thousand and eleven do you kiss a gritty service was discovered as a solution or quote against far myself are unsought the to you know to take some measure for my six months my secure my security this. was brought was organized by the london government because of my human right arctic is. right thank you for that what i have to be critical for about my location ok let's put this now to andrew in kampala now this is a an accusation that is leveled pretty regularly at the government of poor gammy

and that is that they relentlessly pursue dissidents even crossing international boundaries the the security forces in places as far afield as south africa and sweden have alerted people of their suspicions why is that but i think the enemies of president and the current government in one have been very successful at branding the government of rwanda as murderous i can tell you this if the government of rwanda through its security is correct and just the government of the united states would seal of the city its security is certain but also bin laden of course cross international borders to get a terrorist and kill them. or the prince of the world to do that in that case the government want to look different from other governments so patrick callen here in south africa general. who has been shot three times not dead seth send a show girl who was shot dead in nairobi a hutu politician and

a journalist child in garbage day he was shot in camp all in twenty eleven and died these are all people who were plotting against the government of paul cook army. for example i don't think we have any guess what so ever that it is the government of wonder who killed the people who have russian but is one of those we have it is an academic record. jerrold premier who are people called africa's world war and in that case he was personally working with the system in mobile is incomes of acquitting and invent one if the government of rwanda there are four. because he was organising the respective against a country that i think again that's just your action ok coming to you phil now few countries in the world divide international opinion as much as ruined on the one hand it is the the miracle of rebirth after the the horrors of nine hundred ninety four and on the other hand it is an increasingly altera tarion regime who will stop

at nothing to quell dissent both at home and abroad. i mean i think one of the reasons opinion on her wonders extremely divided is that the country itself is extremely complex on the one hand you have a country that has recovered remarkably well since one thousand nine hundred four where we see a level of reconciliation between two at sea in hutu inside the country we see a socio economic development program that has cut across the ethnic divide these are enormous strides that this country has my since the genocide but at the signs on we also see i think some very worrying tendencies of a very controlling ass state there are some significant problems at the level of national politics big questions about democracy whether kidani will in fact ever leave the presidency now that he has changed the constitution to enable him to stay

in power until twenty thirty four all of this is happening at the same time some enormous positives but some very worrying trends as well and it renee coming back to you as a real one don't you feel. too intimidated to go back home presumably do you not look at these wonderful achievements made by your country under the tutelage of pool could be in the p.f. government wonderful economic growth a great deal of reconciliation that has been widely lauded around the world to being poll could go me is really maids and some amazing achievements feel country. and to what they did when the government has done very good job in trying to portray themselves as a country which have been which would develop some sort of consideration times of economic a development but if you look too fucked that you can will to do reconsideration of course edition candle to be complete with zero to just these two with zero to

twelve because that be not at all not a defect was just east people committed to genocide some have been been tried in a political maturity to try to survive as needed really very good justice didn't get it in terms of the dumbest of the economy as well one done. show to have some good economy could have implemented but which a ton to be fake so they trying to being trying to fake figures so the country without being progressive for example to give you one fucked their country for example they haven't they don't you can look to develop at that rate with those that have to decide to want to have two hundred twenty to two hundred twenty one may go a little for tricity which is a list done the hustle for the average of africa you can go to the ripples of the country at the top of it kristie in terms of the aid one that get one billion dollars a and they get the same amount into taxes so that is not part of productive part of the video to me cut it so so i cut loose i could not as that is safety

almost three thousand long as you know it could just as the government do going to be safe and you wanda. does through right but if you're trying to if you're trying to to to to criticize you have been your bright and k. so that the greatest situation in what is and. all right so there was another consideration this and i couldn't because the argument all right can i can i'll come back to you renee andree the kinds of things that have been expressed by renee are often repeated about the government of poor gummi can you understand why there is such concern about what appears to be an alarming path that is being chosen by those supporting porker garny do you understand why victor is that the polls of ninety eight percent provoke a certain amount of alarm internationally. remember but we need to understand who and in context i want for support. looked at eight o'clock look there was general

said institutions of rwanda are designed to reflect the experience one has gone through they're not designed to reflect some textbooks you're about to democracy in belgium or the united kingdom they respond to a very specific historical and social events in say one and even the producers of the government or the fact that the reality you see the test of the pudding is in the eating if you look at the rate of economic change and one the level of social harmony in that country just yesterday twenty five years ago father killed son husband killed wife waif killed daughter neighbor killed a neighbor friend killed a friend i can tell you people it is difficult in a country in the world where is a said it disintegrated at that little shop of his and within a blink of an an eye it has been of just you and your eye it is i hear what it is but it together that one has been successful in large part because it had that

percy's institutions processes and procedures that are relevant to our experience and andresen therefore you are to follow your argument then logically then we shouldn't even be expecting the wonder at this stage twenty five years on to be a pluralistic democratic society is that what you're suggesting. i'm suggesting that the wanda cannot be produced democratic society on the lanes we used to shows practices and procedures. of the knitted kingdom or that it is states that one does democracy or for a very specific get an example there wasn't any that when they did this it's if you'll go and look at the institutions and procedures of bussing when the up would you think it's really if if you'll look remove the context of a nine eleven you may think this is a study just the rate at which him it is not that this means this subject to proceed doesn't have been pressed in temperature around the world that was destroyed it.
