is an old man in his his health was was following so so he really led the campaign and this campaign was based on this idea of bringing back security to mali to this country since two thousand and thirteen it's been rocked by instability with insurgent groups. doing brazen attacks including in the capital bamako but also in different regions so my guess is the prime minister's job was to bring back security but because the million forces do not have the ability or the forces to to to patrol this entire country he relied heavily on these militia groups ethnic militia groups and they were responsible for the killing of one hundred sixty seven pole ethnic pole in three weeks ago and that really shocked the nation the fact that the prime minister instead of relying on the armed forces relied on militia groups to try to bring back stability to mali and it's not just that on the

of a poll we saw here in by micah bollock oh sorry thousands of people taking to the streets we hadn't seen protests like this since one thousand nine hundred one when people were testing for democracy the reason they were protesting is don't just the security reason is because the cost of living has risen by twenty percent in the last year in fact people are have less to lose to live with. and we have more than three million people in need of urgent assistance relying on aid agencies for that so a lot of question is directed towards the government and that explains why he was removed from office now it's all in. camp to try to find a new government that will be accepted by the people here thank you very much for explaining that a complicated situation but thank you nicholas hytner with the latest from. climate activists have gathered in

france's kings were crowned here but in world war one it was left in ruins by german artillery the cathedral was eventually rebuilt with painstaking attention to detail that there was in fact a discussion one time truth go to decide whether we should leave because here all is a room remembering all the fuss i've been dong during the war or if we had to rebuild the cathedral and the process i needed to rebuild it like not a dam in paris the roof here was destroyed inside heat resistant cement was used in the new version instead of timber it took twenty five years to restore the casie jewel french president emmanuel mccall wants to rebuild not a dam in paris within just five. mr president across time frame is probably aimed at completing with a stage and next area more time will be needed of course to restore it to its former glory when this cathedral was nearly destroyed people were shocked and

saddened the famous french writer marcel proust called its shelling a crime against art the fire not to dam in paris has produced similar emotions and it desire amongst the french to rebuild. in paris people come to reflect on what happened reconstruction will be expensive but more than a billion dollars has already been raised the national heritage foundation of france has been inundated with calls from people in companies offering donations or skills one of the great talents i think is also to add all the people able to work on it you know a lot of craftsmen. or other companies who work on this kind of the thing are very specialized so that we have to train you pay for it it will be a new source up after our government leaders in france have yet to. decide whether or not to dam will be faithfully restored or redesigned rebuilding the medieval

masterpiece is undoubtedly a challenge but the cathedral in the past proves that it can be done natasha butler al-jazeera france or the sport now with paul and. will start with tennis and an out of sorts novak djokovic who was dumped out of the monte carlo masters on friday at the world the more and top seed for the tournament lost in the quarterfinals he was beaten in three sets by russia's ten c. dunhill medvedev who was playing in the last eight for the first time in a masters competition jock which who's won the event twice made forty seven unforced errors. in french open is the ultimate goal including. hope breaking a million for sure it's expected in a way to. for me to to peak right at the thought of him because that's what i'm aiming for and this is. not only the first to remain unclear it's a long season so let's see how it goes at one stage it looked like rafael nadal

would follow jacques which out the eleven time when it went down to breaks against argentina as we don't but he rallied brilliantly to take the opening set on a tie break and then wrap things up six games to three in the second that are closer to a record extending twelve titles next up he plays italy's fabio fognini. the heavyweight title fight between anthony joshua and general miller is definitely off after miller attorney a second adverse drug test the american challenger was already blocked from getting a license for the june first bout after the first test he was appealing the decision but this second one has ended his hopes of stepping into the ring joshua will still fight at madison square garden in new york and his camp will announce replacement opponent next week. i aks is bid to reach the european champions league final has been given a huge boost with some help from its rival clubs in the netherlands the dutch

pretty much what everyone seems to accept i mean even they say trainer mark from bubble just now this afternoon is said to be totally understand that that they're considering this change even if basically a trainer mark from bowl and even base a general manager are saying you know this is this is really exceptional let's make sure that iraq has the best possible chance to maybe even reach the final that's in something many of the u.k.'s top footballers have boycotted social media for day to protest against racial abuse the professional footballers' association launch the hash tag anough campaign this follows a string of global high profile races to beas cases both on and off the pitch. that's the problem with society so if we did not include both. of them so many many fall is in and can create an impact on this problem and possibly cause it's everybody's problem so i'm going to support the goal one of england's top women

footballers say they need to be more successful before asking for the same pay as men tony dugan is a strike for england and barcelona she backs the world champion u.s. team for taking their federation to court over wages and working conditions but doesn't believe england are not yet in a position to make similar demands. we need to be more successful of the lot of the women's usa team and a lot more success for the men's and that's that argument so i can listen to it and say we're going to get to that stage until we need trophies on the table or maybe that time will come one day i hope for fair play to the women's team in america because it's what they deserve and i were used to seeing pro golfers hole shots from distance but not quite like this this was angel year in the lottery championship in hawaii a ball collided with a ball of her playing partner and went straight into the hole for an eagle if you're wondering her partner's ball was placed back and she managed to get a birdie so nobody missed out. are that set back to marion and wondered

democrat subpoena the full uncensored russia investigation report is the focus now turns to whether president trump obstructed justice. sudan's protest organizers say they'll soon unveil a new interim council which they want to take over from the military. and the looming ecological disaster in pakistan the phrase thing. we begin with the latest diplomatic maneuvering over the crisis in libya it's been revealed that u.s. president donald trump has spoken to the who is battling for control of the libyan capital tripoli the white house says the two spoke over the phone on monday and discussed counterterrorism efforts in libya it's on k a why the trouble ministration waited until friday to reveal the talks as troops launched an offensive two weeks ago to take tripoli which is held by the un backed government mike hanna has the latest from washington one must remember that two weeks ago the

secretary of state or sharply criticizing huffed and his forces for their latest offensive and certainly this is now a massive turnaround with the president. and effectively giving him support and praising him thanking him for his efforts against terror and also thanking him for what the white house describes as protecting libya's oil resources now the internationally recognized government in tripoli regard this as a theft of libya's oil resources so certainly this is a very puzzling question a very puzzling turn around why it's being kept quiet for the week well there was a u.n. security council meeting thursday in which to everybody's surprise the u.s. refused to back a resolution introduced by the u.k. asking for a cease fire in tripoli in libya there by agreeing with the russians who had objected to the resolution because it mentioned have to has forces by name as the

aggressors in the conflict so that was perhaps an indication that was the first sign that there has been a shift in u.s. policy not even a shift a complete somersault from posing as forces to now apparently siding with egypt saudi arabia and the u.a.e. in supporting the huffed initiative and. head has the reaction from libya. people here seem to be angry about this support from president to have. especially those demonstrators whole took to the streets today and to diminish squares in civil cities and the worst of libya especially in the capital tripoli and the city of misrata the major cities in the west of libya they say that there is some kind of contradiction in the american situation towards libya specially

they were happy when. you in an interview in a television interview said that must certain stand down and must to stop the military escalation on tripoli but when they heard the border from president romney will have via this call it's kind of good to have to here or are you doing well people here have become very angry this say that they are wondering whether or not there is more important people's blood here. over two hundred people were killed since have to launch at this military or friends of one tripoli on april fourth many of them are innocent civilians women and children.

top democrats in the u.s. have rejected a proposal by attorney general william barr which would allow them access to a less redacted version of special counsel robert letters rusher investigation report earlier democrats filed a subpoena demanding the release of the full uncensored weather report it comes just twenty four hours after a heavily edited version was made public president donald trump has described the reporters crazy and says the investigation was an illegal hoax kambli how kit has more now from washington. as u.s. president donald trump arrived fur golf game at his club in florida back in washington democratic members of congress renew demands and issued a subpoena for an unproductive version of special counsel robert muller's report by may first on a working visit to northern ireland during a congressional recess nancy pelosi the top democrat in the u.s. house of representatives again play down talk of impeaching the president that this time she didn't rule it out the congress of the united states will honor its oath

of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states to protect our democracy we believe that the first article article one the legislative branch has a responsibility of oversight of our democracy and we will exercise that the conclusion of congressional democrats after reading what they call the selectively redacted four hundred forty eight page report is that while the special counsel declined to prosecute a sitting president muller did call on congress to investigate whether trump obstructed justice tried to stop the investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election on friday morning trying tweeted using profanity he lashed out at recollections of his statements in the report calling the fabricated and the investigation an illegal hoax congressional republicans are promising their own investigation into whether law enforcement agencies like the f.b.i.

may have exercised political bias to destroy trump's presidency democrats have announced they will hold a conference call on monday to discuss next steps this is far from being over and i'm sure that the house and the senate oversight committees are going to be looking at every piece in turning every stone unturned because just looking into what the special counsel look that there is still the possibility of impeachment i think everything's on the table i mean. this is not the end of anything but what happens next is now in the hands of congressional democrats newly empowered by the special counsel to act potentially dictating not only the terms of transfer mating time in office but also whether he might win reelection the twenty twenty presidential race can really help get al-jazeera washington well the latest reaction let's speak to gabriel is although he is in washington and we have seen mitt romney among the

first republican senators to issue some very strong remarks in response to the report. yeah it's been a little over twenty four hours since the report was released so now we're starting have people that have really actually read it page by page more of than four hundred forty pages of the report where it started get some more reaction this is the strongest reaction from any republican thus far mitt romney the senator from the state of utah saying that while he was happy that the report found no. indication of anything that led to a crime by president donald trump or obstruction of justice or can reach a conclusion on that romney said he's happy about that but he said i'm going to read his words directly says even so romney said i am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and mr action by individuals in the highest office of the land including the president and he concluded by saying reading the report is

a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founding fathers those are strong words from mitt romney clearly says out of all the things that he read in this report all of the indications of lying and backstabbing and wrongdoing and confusion and drama within the trump white house he said he's sickened by it clearly strong words from a top republican meanwhile on the democratic side presidential candidate elizabeth warren pushing for impeachment proceedings to stop against president trump but perhaps other democrats in congress and for the claimant at that. yeah the problem for democrats with impeachment is this the far left of the democratic party wants impeachment but what the leaders of the democratic party worry about is if they pursue impeachment against donald trump trump is going to go out on the campaign trail he's already said he will and he's going to tell the

story that in his view that look at is going to tell people is it two years investigating me know they said i didn't commit any crime nevertheless the democrats want to impeach me and he's going to drive home that message that's what the democrats are fearing they're more than fifteen democrats running for the democratic nomination for president they are now at least to. throw from the state of texas but as you mentioned elizabeth warren the senator from massachusetts who represents the very progressive wing of the democratic party very high profile democrat one of the more high profile ones running for president for the democratic nomination also now on friday saying she supports impeachment but ultimately it's going to come down to nancy pelosi the house speaker and so far she's given no indication that she plans to go down that road of impeachment thank you very much from washington gabriel is on the. freedom pace and justice the demands of thousands of cities protest as he have gathered for the largest demonstration since

former president tomorrow bashir was ousted last week they've launched to the military headquarters in hard to. the epicenter of the uprising against nearly thirty years of the shares autocratic rule friday president held marking four months to the days of the government triple the price of bread triggering mass protests which led eventually to the shares removal the military council now in charge of sit down and says they should preside over a transitional period but the protesters want them to give up power to civilians in mediately on sunday protest organizers will unveil a new interim council that aims to take over from the military and they won't give up their demands until they are met on the vaal has more from khartoum. but the joining the city is like stepping into a new sudan people are taking power into their own hands these civilians are now guarding the border and they're greeting people with songs and smiles i was told with the sole being searched is almost

a pleasure and they'll work involuntarily. while this crowd craves the heat to put out a message of change others help to keep them cooler money is also being donated drinking water is provided. food is served for free for a while but they medical doctors have left their jobs on joint efforts to set up makeshift clinics to help those who protested but. yeah we worked in hard conditions there were days when we couldn't handle the sheer number of people who came for medical help we could hardly sleep for days we were doing both the humanitarian and national juta by being here. these people are here in front of the army headquarters to make sure a complete revolution is achieved and the military coup doesn't just lead.
