paraffin military will reacts. to syria's. house covered this story extensively and is with me on. i should just give us a sense of why the people are so unhappy tell us more about their reaction to that and nine summons a few hours ago i think the concern is basically the following they say that they have been on the streets for almost. two months to see a radical change in algeria what happens is announcement president as it was a was forced to resign however the parliament is appointing an acolyte a member of the same inner circle with a vehicle always on the other will sala the government still in place was appointed by of by beautifully run by nordin better way of the constitutional council is run by the ladies who is member of the same elite for them this is more of a cosmetic change not a genuine one they were hoping to see something different a national unity government formed by independent people widely respected and

trusted by the algerians to take over the army would say that they've been acting in accordance with the constitution and the constitution simply doesn't wear a path for the sort of change that the recess is a calling for is that the case they know that they cannot meet all those demands by the people because some of them seem pretty much realistic for the army because they're concerned about any move that could just lead to a power vacuum in a country like and syria something that no one would like to see put in place i think or one hand going for article one two which is now paving the way for a new interim president but at the same time they might create something parallel. and that's where they can meet some of the demands of the people particularly council forming a national unity government that can take over ok they know we understand that. one of the army chiefs is expected to make some kind of a name is meant just give us a sense of how. their role is in this situation he's now undoubtedly the most

powerful man in those area general a month ago he played a crucial role in the past few weeks when he stepped in saying that he thinks it's about time for president his will to flee to resign the moment when he pulled out support this far this wind started to crumble and then he came out a few days later saying that if the president does not resign we will trigger article seventy eight which means of the ultimate power lies in the hands of the people who precipitated the collapse of the old establishment today when he talks most likely he's going to try to tell the people that the army is standing by their side listening to their concerns hoping to be able to implement some of those concerns but i think he will reiterate the need for the jury to maintain an orderly transition to democracy instead of jumping into the unknown ok well we'll have to wait and see what that announcement brings but for now. thank you so much for bringing us up to date iran's president sounds come out for the strong response

some threats after the u.s. decision to label its elite revolutionary guards a terrorist organization has some rouhani called trump's unprecedented move a mistake and has warned that his country could have elop more advanced nuclear technology if washington continues to exert pressure but all of them are your shoes she was. today we inaugurated twenty i are six centrifuges and if you continue your oppression in the near future you will see i r eight centrifuges if your intention was reducing iran's military power through these sanctions you yourselves know that we produce missiles and weapons that are far beyond your imagination. same day has more from. what we have yet to see how the designation of the islamic revolutionary guard corps as a terrorist organization by the united states will play out in the long run experts here into her own do you see this as an incremental step yet another incremental

step in american efforts to push for regime change in iran that's been the stated policy of the white house of u.s. president donald trump and many experts here see this as a symbolic gesture since iran is already struggling with so many sanctions you see this is an important incremental step in that stated u.s. policy but experts here also say that donald trump has done the i.r.g.c. a favor and this is something that is likely to help them gain support domestically and we are seeing senior leaders of the government have closed ranks behind the r.g.c. with with with public displays of support and with condemnation for this u.s. move we saw it play out in parliament on tuesday when lawmakers proposed a bill to carry out ressa procul steps against the united states as well as continue to strengthen support for the i.r.g.c. even more and in a show of public support many of those lawmakers who were chanting death to america in parliament once again attended that session of parliament in r.g.c.

a respectful and quiet day from all sides well let's get more on this from a stephanie decker who joins us from occupied east jerusalem stephanie you've been there talking with the voices are all did you get a sense of what we're expecting when the the exit polls are release. i think it's very difficult to call because even though we are in a right wing polling station safe to say that everyone voting here is a right wing political inclinations when it comes to netanyahu and whether they want him to continue as a fifth term as prime minister it is not clear what is clear is that he certainly seems to be feeling the heat the israeli prime minister has hit the beach in a suit telling people to get off the beach and to go vote he's just issued a statement in the last hour or so saying that he's had dramatic news that voter turnout is low in likud areas his party areas and the left is coming out in power it's not a new tactic but it shows that he is concerned i think i think going forward there's a few questions ten o'clock to under five hours the polls are going to close you

will get exit polls very soon after that even if he doesn't win in the sense that gets the most seats he still seems to be the man as you mentioned their best place to form a government it will be a very right wing government but the question is this with the corruption charges hanging over him will he survive the next coming year the attorney general has said that he faces indictments he's got one chance at a hearing where he can put forward his case many people will tell you political analysts that perhaps the pressure will simply be too much on him and he won't but at the same time he is called a political houdini he is a man with intense experience intense charm he knows how to play the political game so i think everything still seems to be up in there when i have to wait and see how the next few hours play out how the polls do and how he's going to play those numbers to his advantage recently where oh thank you so much stephanie zakhar joining us there from occupied east jerusalem what's more so to come on al-jazeera
