everyone linked to both of leaders government needs to be removed that includes ben santa a long time beautifully ally and the man appointed under the constitution to act as interim leader and who is in a presidential election is for july the fourth protesters are also calling on some of the military's top leaders to resign including general argument going home protestors accuse or not doing enough to rid the country of what they call look for the power a group which they say has been secretly running algeria in the shadow of former president bush a flicker if you have to judge algeria has its men algeria doesn't need you there are plenty of people that can rule geria we want them all to leave. all the garden they all need to go we want to tell. they need to know that the people have empowered us to get rid of the gangs. it's not needed speaking it's forty million algerians women men old people young people are on the streets all of these

people are asking you in the name of everything that's holy to leave the country alone to leave its people being algeria is a great nation it's greater than any of. the interim government maybe hoping that electing a new president will be enough to satisfy the protesters but the economy is struggling unemployment is high and demonstrators like these say they'll stay on the streets until all those they blame it all devious problems of forced to go rob matheson. well joining me here in the studio as you say professor of political sciences and international relations at castle university give us a sense for you how intimidated is the regime feeling right now. if the regime is intimidated it is not showing that but we do applaud the new prime minister who. is say it's business as usual has been asking his ministers to go about their business

as. usual but inside they do feel very very intimidated they're not listening to the millions of jews were calling for them to go does that mean that the pandora's box of protest and where the protestors come from that box has been opened and it may never be closed again. it's very uncertain at the moment obviously the people would go in on the sleeves they're not tired of the keep the man didn't these people to go obviously the chief of staff recently has been saying that he would be listening to the people but since last tuesday his message has changed it on the words he said in the for the people that your demands are realistic what i have to offer you is. the plans by them elections in three months when one looks at the faces of the regime the faces that have appeared on television of the past what ten days two weeks or so they're all men of

a certain age is there in amongst the next generation clearly that they were there needs to be a generational shift that's what the protesters would say so if there is a generational change in the politics of algeria is there an obvious is there an obvious line up of people who would get into those jobs if you're talking about a new generations i cannot think of. in the. names apart from two or please but obviously this is really thinking about in huge elation as much as they're talking about people who do not have blood on their hands and people who are not been involved in any scandals obviously beautiful over the last twenty years or so has done his best and he succeeded in marginalizing everybody who was opposed to him he has used algeria as money to buy loyalty does the regime have another problem rob a reporter highlighted in his paper in his report that the people who are demonstrating this is not just some student uprising

this is. not a student occupation at the local university this is people from the east in the west of the country this is people in their twenty's people in their seventy's as well the elderly gentleman in a report that he's clearly been waiting for years to do this kind of thing obviously it's new to cut the streets of all the towns and cities in algeria you see people little's to two. old people little people so every single one of them is looking for the system to go it's not just about the politics as your reports suggested you thoughtful to do with the social and economic or problems in algeria unemployment is sky high the value of the algerian currency has been devalued so whatever good minimum wage is not enough for people and for fabio of two to leave on for about two weeks so it's a comic problems are also be fucked with us how united are the protesters they are

they are united on one single thing they all they all seem to agree that the system needs to go and when they called the system they are. the few people who have been involved with beautifully cause and they have a history of either the put option all that again elections on the legal basis so they don't want to they don't trust these people to. deliver the d. in an honest elections and they also don't trust them to on the country professor blondell thank you so much thank you. the white house devised a plan to release detained migrants into so-called sanctuary cities as retaliation against the democrats that's according to the new york times newspaper the city's include new york and san francisco where the local authorities don't cooperate with immigration and customs agents president donald trump's been a harsh critic of sanctuary cities the plan was reportedly dropped after lawyers

for the department of homeland security had rejected the proposal let's get more on this live now to washington and our correspondent alan fischer allan this seems like a weird one they decided to drop it but then donald trump says they going to go ahead with it. exactly if you spoke to the white house a couple of hours ago they said look this plan was discussed as lots of things are but it is not under active consideration and then donald trump pops up a couple of hours later on twitter and says you know that thing that has been reported about possibly moving immigrants to sanctuary cities what actively considering that because democrats are all in favor of open borders so what are sanctuary cities while there are areas where the people there the government there decided that they are not going to cooperate with immigration authorities when it comes to undocumented migrants now the white house came up with this idea that undocumented migrants who came across the border when space was tight they would move them to areas that where sanctuary cities almost to give the democrats and

those poorest are supporting immigration a taste of their own medicine for want of a better phrase now this plan went to the department of homeland security they looked at it and said look first of all that our problems with transporting people the cost of transporting people and there's also a big p.r. issue so that was quietly dropped in november and then in february just after the time were donald trump was having a big row with democrats over the possibility of funding the border war and this idea started surfacing again and it went to the. apartment of homeland security this time but either way saying look there are real legal problems if we decide to do this that critics have been very angry at donald trump for even suggesting this is look essentially you can see what they're doing here they are putting up the people who come into this country is on documented migrants as pawns in

a political game they're using them and some of these are young children and that perhaps borders on the illegal now whether it could be legal or not for donald trump to start moving people around the country while that would have to be tested in course but certainly what we were hearing from the department of homeland security at the white house is lots of things get talked about lots of things get discussed this was just one of them we saw the problems and it was put on the back burner and then as i say donald trump just in the last hour or so comes out and twitter says not so fast we're actually thinking about this and that will please his base which is essentially why don't we trump was thinking about this in the first place i guess alan at one level does this come down to the numbers because if you've got if you send say fifty migrants to san francisco and fifty migrants to new york that's a small number those cities can absorb those people look after them but if you send a thousand people to each city that gets more costly and then you get down to that issue of who funds them who looks after them who pays for their education etc and

going forward to the democrat reaction to that. exactly right it is all about moving people around the country do you really take one thousand people from a couple who arrive at the border and then say right you are going to san francisco and again you're right if anything happens to them who's responsible for that who would look after them when they get there who would accommodate them who pays for that accommodation or you can see it well that's up to sanctuary cities but actually this becomes a federal issue and that comes out of federal budgets rather than local authority budgets so there are huge questions about this which clearly the department of homeland security flagged up by seeing that or a logistical issues that are legal issues that are here issues there are p.r. issues as well and that is why this was quietly put away but donald trump who so often called reports like this free news is essentially saying this time everyone's got this right but we are still considering it so in the world of trump's america

this still might resurface at some point in the future under a slightly different form but it's clear that donald trump hasn't put this idea away even though being told twice in the vendor and february this isn't a good idea thanks allen the u.s. secretary of state might pompei o is reported to have held talks with the crown prince the guardian newspaper is reporting pompei mohamed bin sell man to cut ties with a close advisor linked to the murder of the journalist jamal. aide is tiny he has recently been sanctioned by the u.s. for his alleged role in the killing jordan has been following developments from the states. according to the guardian newspaper the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has told the saudi crown prince that he needs to cut all ties with his close political adviser and former social media chief south

watching al-jazeera news hour live from doha in london these are your headlines the military in sudan is defending the coup on thursday which for move president omar bashir from office it says it has no ambitions to hold on to power but the protest organizers are calling for more demonstrations. it is the eighth consecutive friday of demonstrations in algeria protesters say they're not satisfied with the departure of president. this month and want an overhaul of the political establishment. at least five civilians have been killed during fighting on the outskirts of the libyan capital rockets and shells fired by forces loyal to the wall or twenty four after hit a residential area west of tripoli more than fifty people have been killed in fighting over the past week thousands more have been displaced. fights in between have to us forces and those of the un backed government have been going on for more

than a week now both sides say they have made strategic gains just in the past twenty four hours. ahead as more from the capital tripoli. warplanes affiliated with the libyan. have to launch a civil air strikes targeting several locations and the west of libya and in the city of was one of the coastal city of as well out west of the capital tripoli have tears were plain targeted a location there injuring two civilians according to his ouattara ministerial council which condemned the attack and called on the government of national accord to do its best to stop the military escalations by have to forces now have those warplanes have been intensifying air strikes in the west of the country and their staff members in a manner airport the only operational airport in the city say that there is

a state of panic among staff members and passengers especially after that these are have those were planes flying over. airport also we heard gunfire and they're turning out that. a weapons in a may to get airport was trying to target have this warplane but they did not target it on the ground military operations continue sporadic fighting continue between have the us forces and others allied with the government of national airport they're fighting for the priest relatively on friday compared to the last two or three days but sources at the government of national accord say that government forces managed to recapture sites that were taken over by have to his forces days ago. when it comes to the warlord after his military abilities and his reported backers put him on the outskirts of tripoli he could in theory be part of

the solution not part of the problem but his presence outside the capital did cause the u.n. to council albeit temporarily they say a big peace conference let's talk to and rescreen queues assistant professor in the defense studies department at king's college london and rescript should we accept his narrative about him. no i think there is a there's a huge problem here and as you point out this is a war over narratives where which is mostly about perception and after has been selling himself as a strong man someone who can actually unite the country and unite the different militias and basically bring some sort of unity for this country in his fight what he calls terrorism both of these myths are myth and they need to be this debunked on the one hand he is obviously quite strong but he's not strong enough to control the country what he's done he's basically co-opted all these different militia groups that he now calls the libyan national army most of them have been either coerced or have been paid off to basically join his ranks but they can't really be

controlled permanently many of them have already defected or would defect if they've actually ever been met with. resistance on the on the other hand the issue that he's basically selling himself as a counter terrorist who's fighting islam is and also doesn't really make sense because again it's a myth because many of the people in his writings are very radical salafist groups that he's operating with the issue though is his narrative of being strong is only has only really worked in the east of the country wavin there he needed for years to control benghazi now that he's in the west of libya he's actually for the very first time confronted with very fierce fighting particular now that some of the groups of misrata have risen up and joined the fight in tripoli to defend the government of the of the u.n. the u.n. by government but the issue with all that is. actually what you know what i've said he's very much too strong too strong to fail but also too weak to control which

will lead to the stalemate that we're seeing right now which is attrition is warfare street by street which no side can really win definitely after cannot see a bit slow in the opposite because well when it comes to fighting his opponents when his opponents are distracted with those of the militia and also particularly with lysol he seems to have something of a track record albeit at a low level of missing an open door and reacting a little bit too late. yes that is true i mean we've seen for the last couple of years that there has been no consolidated opposition to after after has been strong and strengthened because of his external support by egypt the u.a.e. russia and also to an extent by france and on the other hand we haven't we've only seen a very weak government which has been un backed but with no real teeth and on the ground a variety of different militias in the west that never could unite behind this government and they can't unite behind this government now i would make the argument here that uniting against toughed at the moment and i think this is the

problem that haftar is facing he completely miscalculated that particular force of misrata would get drawn into that fight and resist have to resist the idea of a military government because that's not what the start of the revolution for in two thousand and eleven so there's a mess of miscalculation in his argument of fighting isis has also can also be debunked quite easily because most of his fighting most of the airstrikes that he has been launching against opposition forces were not actually against isis they were against these more moderate rebel groups that are now backed or somewhat backing the d.n.a. government fighting him again it's been so in this war of a narrative he's kind of losing traction because now the international community sees what he's really all about he's there to basically undermine the political process by the u.n. and impose his will against the majority of the country and i think that is quite the problem and i think that's where he's losing in the information space across europe but in general also across the arab world can he continue to or does he have

the ability in your mind to continue balancing the axis that we're basically getting reports about today saying you know when he was in riyadh he's got an open door that he's got a warm welcome and saudi arabia has been stumping up the cash basically so that he can you know we've we've run the pictures on this channel you get those incredibly strong aerial shots of columns of his military on the road outside tripoli. yes absolutely and we shouldn't underestimate the the foreign backing and i think that a lot of the criticism of the international community should go to the external backers of after tens of millions of dollars a coming from saudi arabia we've seen millions and millions coming from the u.a.e. since two thousand and fourteen material support operations support financial support egypt obviously end the year you have flown airstrikes and supported him with air power which has been also a game changer because on the other hand most of the defenders of after don't have any air power don't have any ability to defend themselves against bombs from the

air which is also now a bit of a game changer in tripoli but the issue is on the ground it's what he's doing right now he's basically inflicting havoc on tripoli's destroying the capital through area effect weapons what he cannot do is move in and control the territory because on the ground he doesn't have people who are able to fight the l n a is a lose. of different militia groups that are so far have never really been tested and when they have been tested they have been tested on their home turf in the east they have not been tested on the ground now in the west of libya where they don't control the hearts and minds of the people and i think that is the big issue he can control tripoli but he will never be able to control the ground and i think that's where you know the big miscalculation lies but obviously the fact is since saudi the u.a.e. egypt and also to an extent france support him he still has somewhat of air to breathe and continue despite the fact that this war is actually strategically

already lost for after she mentioned egypt is he the new sisi of libya. good point yes i think extend i think the u.a.e. grand strategy for northern africa patrik and particularly in libya has been to impose and install another military rule kind of governments following the sisi model basically having a strongman that controls the civilians where they don't want to strongman such as after who has control over the arms but is controlled by a civilian government and i think that is the issue here we've seen from the negotiations at the u.n. that the u.a.e. has opposed any strong civilian government they could control after they want hafter you know that could could cook to control the state so in a bit you want a military without a state you don't really want a state with the military and i think that's quite of the problem here because as another c.c. would be completely unacceptable for the majority of libyans incredibly interesting

final point to draw our conversation to a close and as ever we appreciate your insight thank you so much thank you. the world health organization says. the democratic republic of congo does not constitute a public health emergency of international concern despite reports that seven hundred people died forty three of them in just the last four days for the. health workers the setup clinics in east and democratic republic of congo to treat hundreds of ebola patients doctors in beni a working to identify the symptoms as soon as they can we're examining the patient's earlier than we've seen them previously and so. these patients may not have developed disease yet so it's something that they need to be followed long term to ensure that they don't develop complications or i information and i think we're all still learning from. the disease and i call her complications blurry

or reduced vision or in some cases even blindness this has become a common problem for nearly twenty percent of us. in the eastern town of the tempo some families have been separated by the disease and survivors are doing what they can to help. no one else can take care of kids whose parents are affected by the outbreak. and able to take care of her daughter because she's suffering and contra affecting her kids she's safe in my hands as i was cured and i can't be afflicted again some have been sharing their experience of ebola to help others stay healthy . i've decided to raise awareness so that i can save the lives of my brothers and sisters who are doubting that ebola exists throughout testimony we're telling people it's real but the disease is still not under control in fact it's spreading

since last october over a thousand cases have been reported eighteen new cases were identified just this week and fighting between on crew. in the east have hampered efforts to contain ebola the red cross says it's also affecting people's trust in the medics who can help them the level of mistrust that we're seeing in the community is an operational challenge and it can stem from longstanding conflict in the region and this is the first time this region is seeing an outbreak of ebola in a while and it's for this reason that we are putting community based approaches just saving dignified burials as well as community feedback systems at the core of our response not only in to receive but as part of our parish in containment approach across south sudan rwanda uganda and. working through the volunteers to really place community efforts at the core of what we do it's only by understanding the beliefs of the community that we can build trust and stop this outbreak this is the second worst outbreak since the.
