people are the source of all power it's effectively gives them the right to choose their own representatives and article eight allows the people to establish their own institutions wage war protect their independence fundamental rise and economy from illegal activities i mean after an algerian activist and she told us area why people like her aren't willing to accept abdelkader ben sol as leader. is worrisome is that the ninety days ahead of us maximum duration of ninety days where this interim president will have to organize presidential elections and these presidential elections are not the people who are the twenty million million a year and have been calling for ninety days is nearly enough time for the system as we call it here in algeria the regime to maintain itself and give itself

a new figure in new façade what we want is a democracy huge reforms institutional reforms and i highly doubt that mr been silent who is the product of the system he would be able to steer us towards that what we need is a transitional government what we need is a transition phase to put us on the right track the real republic of the democracy where all parties were all insurance would participate as really fit isn't. and so don seven protesters have been killed on the fourth day of a mass sit in at ami headquarters a crowds in khartoum are demanding the resignation of president obama care police commanders have ordered officers not to confront peaceful demonstrators the embassies of the u.s. britain and norway have said in a joint statement that sudanese authorities should deliver a credible plan for

never going to take toll of you let me say that we're here now because we're taking the side of the people we're standing with the people nobody else. protesters and the opposition sudanese congress party a calling on president obama al bashir to resign they want the military's help in forming a transitional government the leadership of the army if they. disposed to the name of the people that live there it's balls to the. the whole of the opposition they are in then getting the unity of god and yourself on this will lead the country for chaos so i think they have no other option but to this ball positively to the demands of the people the governments imposed a state of emergency since february after their crackdown failed to stop the largest outcry during al bashir is thirty year rule. he's asked the ruling national

congress party to help restore stability and. the government says change can come through the ballot box but protesters on the streets insist they want change now victoria gates and a al-jazeera. at least eight people have been killed after a bomb exploded in northern syria it happened in iraq which is controlled by us sponsoring democratic forces which pushed i saw fighters out in twenty seventy. there just a few hours left to vote in israel in an election that will determine if prime minister benjamin netanyahu will remain in office for a fifth term he voted early in west jerusalem while his main challenger benny gantz urged the country to embrace a new dawn opinion polls put guns is blue and white coalition just ahead of messy house likud party but the prime minister appears to have the best chance of forming

another governing coalition. i'm just told you i had no major dollars but this is a sacred act this is truly the essence of democracy and we should be blessed with it but you need to choose well i cannot say what i can but i don't want to not hear so luckily that i'm happy to place myself at the service of the state of israel in the citizens of israel i'm happy to stand for the good of the citizens on a new path we call for a respectful and quiet day from all sides let's speak to a false idols intel of the forests at the likud party headquarters the main issue in this election harry seems to be next now this is being described as a referendum on the prime minister and has been scrambling i understand to rally last minute last minute voters. that's right if he's the issue that's dominated the election campaign he's also the person who's dominating this last day of it he has been out and about he's been on social media he's been to the beach telling people

to get out of the water and off the sand and into the polling stations his key message is that the could is behind the could needs to be the biggest party have won the election in visa vi blue and white the departed benny gantz in order to be guaranteed the chance to make a coalition government and just a couple of hours ago he tweeted this he said i received a dramatic update of very low turnout in the likud strongholds high turnout in the left strongholds i cancelled a look at events on my way back to an emergency meeting in jerusalem we have to save the right there are only a few more hours so that is his message to his votes his is played this soon before he is often in the last hours of an election has given a very dramatic warnings is follows to say that we're in danger of losing the achievements and the only person in israeli politics who could make such achievements on the world stage as nessun you know if they don't come to the polls and that's his message again today just how much of

a threat harry is this coalition led by benny gantz to netanyahu and also are they really the anti-establishment and the breath of fresh air they claim to be very near difference between them and occurred. well they would certainly say there's a difference benny gantz is if people say this is a referendum on the netanyahu ten years in power this project this moonlight project is very much a pragmatic vehicle to try to get netanyahu out of power for the reason they say that his his style his his way of doing things the corruption that his is come to dog his last few years in office is something that israel is tired of and needs rid of and yes they do offer some different sort of aspects on issues such as the israeli palestinian conflict but no one's really talking about that in any great sense in this election very much their what their message is one

that yes if there would be the chance of some kind of globally a regional supported peace agreement in the future they would work towards that but they're not talking about a two state solution just as us and you know who is and what benny gantz is saying today is very similar in some ways to what age netanyahu saying he accepts that blue and white are ahead but he says by not enough and that the only route towards power for blue and white is to really win this election convincingly by several seats and then get the chance to try and it's a much more difficult path towards this but to try to make some kind of coalition perhaps coaching some of the smaller right wing parties that would usually be aligned with benjamin netanyahu harry there are about three hours left to vote and many from the palestinian israeli minority who are now to cast a ballot had said they would boycott this election what's that been the case what's the turnout been mike and what will that boycott achieve what are they hoping to achieve. well it certainly seems that those calls have been heeded or whether it's

those calls being heated or just general displeasure and and discontent with what they've seen of israeli politics over recent is it's not clear yet but certainly that is the in the information that we're getting a poster on one. the news channels are saying that there is a historic low turnout among palestinian israelis and when one issue that's come up there's been you could activists going to polling stations in these areas with cameras the palestinian parties are saying that's nugent and intimidation and. thank you for that harry foster live for us in tel aviv. britain's prime minister is seeking support from france for another delay to break sit down after talks with germany's angela merkel theresa may hopes emmanuel mccall will be on board as she tries to convince leaders a further delay is needed for break said his departure from the european union let's bring in a butler who joins us from the courtyard it is

a palace in paris so what can we expect from this meeting between theresa may and the mannion. well to resume the british prime minister will know that if she wants to try and gain the support of e.u. leaders for an extension of article fifty and push brigs it to the end of june or something she's going to ask for the special summit on wednesday she must try and convince and win over one of the use main leaders emmanuel mark or the french president that is why she is coming to paris to speak to him in person and i'm out on my car has so far been one of those e.u. leaders it's taken a hard line when it comes to the briggs it process and to the idea of giving treason may another extension he has said that the british prime minister must come with a credible plan in order to justify an extension when she's there in brussels but what we are now hearing from some at least say sources is that amount or mark would

be opens an extension of that was something that wasn't clear until now but they are saying he'd be open some extension but it would have to be a short one he doesn't want a sort of extension which might roll into next year because he doesn't want his process to be dragged. ours any longer and he's expressed particular concern natasha for exit disrupting the upcoming parliamentary elections walk why is that a factor and as we see theresa me i believe arriving soon she is arriving now as we see emmanuel knock on. about to greet the british prime minister on the steps of the uneasy. why are the european parliamentary elections a factor in all of this. the british prime minister just arriving behind me there will of course the e.u. rules that if for britain is still in the european union when those parliamentary elections take place at the end of may that britain must take part in them and that is something that the french president has always said that he wanted to in four

years of war it because he sees this as being disruptive to the european union process in fact of course i mean briggs this is in a way the symbol of anti e.u. sentiment he doesn't want the parliamentary elections to be overshadowed by the break sitting arity of nor does he want lots of and c e u m e p's from the u.k. suddenly in the european parliament as well so that is something that i don't mark calls or at least those sources i should say have also spoken about they have said that what the french president will ask for in brussels is for there to be some e.u. checks and balances on the u.k.'s behavior if you like for as long as it stays in the european union to make sure that the u.k. doesn't disrupt the business of the e.u. any further thank you for that natasha live for us at the presidential palace in paris thank you still ahead on al jazeera hong kong activists face up to seven years in prison after being convicted over their role in pro-democracy demonstrations.

hello there we've got plenty more wet weather to come for us in the southeast in parts of china the latest system well that's moving away towards the east now working its way towards japan but as that system moves away this is going to be plenty of cloud with this as we head through wednesday that cloud will be giving a few pockets of rain but it really tense heavy as we head into thursday thursday a very wet day then that rain stretching all the way up towards shanghai shanghai there for seeing quite a few showers at times so the south of it though is home kong here it should be fine and dry maximum temperature getting to around twenty nine degrees out towards the west so that's a very lively downpours here they've been working their way of opposing to pull off say through parts of bangladesh as well very heavy rains out of this system that will gradually push away those we head into wednesday and behind it it will be

a lot quieter so fickle cuts and we should get to around thirty seven degrees temperatures for many of us though are on the rise at the moment with many places seem to temperatures over forty now hydrabad getting to forty the not poor up to forty one for the fall south i think they could be just one to show is here but most of them will be over parts of sri lanka we also see the cloud begin to increase for the northern areas as we head to sri thursday said that will work its way through parts of iran also through pakistan with some showers there of apos of afghanistan. for the nomadic john cartwright survival is about breaching their destination. if we don't hurry will never be able to get the time of the storm we follow the mongolian herdsmen on a treacherous migration. very dangerous to the ice and then as they strive to preserve their traditional way of life or sometimes luser cattle they were diving

for because of the storm risking you don't want go here on al-jazeera. and watching al jazeera live from doha a recap of our top stories this hour algeria spot a mate has appointed abdul cut airbender as interim president following recent protests that led to the resignation of abdelaziz bouteflika is a close ally to defeat he is to serve up to ninety days during which a presidential election must be organized but they've been protests on the streets after the announcement of his appoint. seven protesters and been killed on the fourth day of

a mass sit in outside army headquarters in sudan's capital the crowds in khartoum have been demanding the resignation of president omar bashir and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has cast his ballot in an election that will decide if he remains in power for a fifth term his main challenger benny gantz the country to embrace a new iraq when he voted. not to the u.s. sandie president abdel fatah sisi is in washington for talks on the challenges facing the middle east is meeting president donald trump at the white house to discuss the conflicts in libya and syria along with the latest developments in israel and palestine let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly whole kit kimberly donald trump and a sound rolling out the red carpet for sisi but a meeting that's not without controversy. that is exactly the headline here in washington the color guard was brought out ten was in full regalia as the egyptian leader drove behind me and into the west wing where he was warmly greeted

by the president they will be sitting down in the oval office together in just the coming moments and then they will have a working lunch about a ninety minute visit in total but it is not without controversy in fact human rights activists are not happy about this meeting members of congress are not happy with this meeting because of the grave concerns about this being just a lab or photo opportunity to help entrenched the rule of an authoritarian leader there are very deep concerns about the political prisoners that are currently being held in egypt's prisons by amnesty international's calculations some sixty thousand some twelve of those are u.s. citizens and that is why seventeen members of congress senators both republican and democrats sent a letter to the white house in just the last few days urging the trumpet ministration to press the egyptian president on the concerns about human rights

violations but it does not appear that that is something that this administration is heating just the opposite just as we saw with the u.s. secretary of state when he visited cairo last year we don't expect that there will be any mention of that instead there will be discussions about economic and military cooperation really hailing this is a high mark in the relations between the u.s. and egypt but again that is not a shared view in the broader washington particularly on capitol hill not only of a concern about this coming ahead of that vote in egypt in its parliament that could entrenched the egyptian president's power potentially to twenty thirty four but there are also concerns about the deepening relationship between egypt and russia and also about the sale of u.s. helicopters to egypt so these are all the concerns that members of congress are hoping will be brought up but there is skepticism that that is what is will be discussed in this oval office meeting kimberly thank you very much for that kimberly hauck it is a white house correspondents. that the u.s.

attorney general has sold congress he will release every ducted version of the mother reports within a week william buys being pressured to publish a full report into russian meddling in the election of president donald trump in two thousand and sixteen bar says some information will be backed out because it seemed to be too sensitive crossing jordan has more from capitol hill. the questioning from congressional democrats before a house appropriations subcommittee is tough but the attorney general william barr isn't giving any ground he has told congressional members that he does intend to release a redacted version of the mohler report coming the third week of april that's in about a week from now he also said that he has to make certain revisions in order to make certain that grand jury information intelligence information and information or evidence that might be connected to all go in investigations isn't released in it

for the public bar says he has to do that because of federal law there parts congressional members are asking the power whether or not he has been pressured by the white house in any way to one to hold back information to whether he actually shared his summary with those in the white house before it was released to congress and to the public and whether he feels that the report could be held back all together because of the notion of executive privilege that's the notion that the u.s. president has the right to keep confidential all conversations and communications with the members of the executive branch so far bill bar says that he is not inclined to invoke executive privilege because this investigation was carried out by the special counsel certainly though there is a growing concern among some cross congressional democrats that there could be a last ditch effort to keep the moeller report secret some of those my. of congress

already suggesting that the report needs to be released in full and that if given the opportunity they might try to link the entire document no matter what the consequences could be. iran's president has come out with a strong response and threats after the u.s. decision to label its revolutionary guards a terrorist organization has on rouhani called unprecedented move a mistake and has warned that his country could develop more advanced nuclear technology if washington continues to exit pressure but all of them are your shoes she was on g.d.p.'s today we inaugurated twenty i os six centrifuges and if you continue your oppression in the near future you will see i are right 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. he has more now from tehran. well 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 and do 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 we 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
