a nail biting time trying to wonder whether they were actually able to sell their idea of a future india to the electorate what was the electorate mean and once we've been finding out environ r.c. i they've been queuing up since daybreak it's the 7th and final phase of india's general election on sunday people from 59 constituencies across 7 states in one union territory had to the polls more than 900000000 people were eligible to cast their ballots in the world's largest democracy over the past 7 weeks voters waiting here are excited that their day has finally come this should be given regularly and more infrastructure his physical situation is that it should be given to there who really was the very 1st day i felt really nice voting for the 1st time i want prime minister made to come back to power and move the country forward and develop it so that the unemployed can get employment. environ arcee is one of 13 seats in the

state of pradesh that's being fought over on sunday it's the parliamentary seat of the incumbent prime minister narendra modi there are many issues the electorate has had to consider communal politics unemployment the economy education and national security. for some small scale manufacturers the issue is clear this factory produces fans and it's been severely affected by the monetize ation and the introduction of the new goods and services tax g.s.t. which is added to the manufacturing cost and impacted on the workforce there that gupta wants the new government to revisit the amount of tax small cottage industries like kids have to pay. about 526-0000 people depend on cottage and. my sales are down and profit margins to me by about 60 to 70 percent when it comes to workforce i used to have about 30 employees now i can only afford. analysts

suggest there is a disconnect between what the public needs and what politicians say they can deliver i think one of the reasons is that the political class in india has been quiet and emitted from the masses they do not have things to offer as the economy is unfolding i think we are going deep into a crisis and the promises that they are making the parties follow is very difficult to fulfill the promises so they don't want to talk about the concrete delivery while these voters wait patiently in line for their turn to vote the country will have to wait until thursday before the national vote count begins. so all that's left to do is the vote count but will happen on thursday and then they'll be a better indication of what india's new parliament will look like and who might lead a new indian government for the moment the exit polls are suggesting that the b j p might just sneak in with another victory along with our allies but indian pollsters have been notoriously wrong historically they were in 2014 so we wait and see how

the indian public voted and what the reaction will be from politicians north south east and west. donald trump has broken his silence on alabama's abortion law and has gone against some of the most controversial parts of the ban the us president tweeted that he is strongly pro-life with the exceptions of rape incest and protecting the life of the mother alabama only allows abortion in the last of those 3 cases after it passed an almost total ban on tuesday. while demonstrations are taking place in cities across the state of alabama against the law the ruling for hits all abortions unless there is a risk of death to the mother supporters of the bad. and say that they expect the mole to be blocked in court but they hope the appeals process will bring it before the u.s. supreme court stacey folks is the president of planned parenthood southeast an organization that provides reproductive health care sex education and information

to people in the region she says the motivations behind the push to outlaw abortion are political and put the lives of women at risk banning abortion doesn't stop abortion it stops safe abortion and who this impacts is poor women and women of color across this country and what these politicians should be focused on are the real health crisis like the one here in alabama where black women are dying of cervical cancer at 6 times the rate of any other state in this country i think president trump is just giving cover for politicians like that 25 white men here in alabama that last tuesday night stared 3 brave great survivors in the face and voted down the exception for rape and incest in the spell 8 is nothing more than a political game in a race to the supreme court to overturn roe v wade and i think this is nothing more than a political game that our president is leading the way on rino that 70 percent of americans do not support overturning roe v wade and that holds true right here in

alabama no matter if you cut it on party lines republicans democrats evangelicals people do not support these bands and the politicians here just aren't listening which means they will get a pink slip next fall when we all had the voting planned parenthood and the a.c.l.u. will be taking this state of alabama 1 to court and hope that like every other fight we've had that we will prevail in this law will never take effect. tornadoes of rita destruction throughout the midwest region of the united states wind speeds of up to 210 kilometers an hour were recorded in oklahoma as homes were destroyed although only a few injuries were caused tens of thousands of people have been left without power the state is bracing itself for more thunderstorms and possible flooding. yemen's who the rebels say that they plan to targets $300.00 military sites in yemen saudi arabia and the united arab emirates the statement follows a drone attack on a saudi oil pumping facility the explosion that wrecked lee had

a witness thanks for watching about. al jazeera where every.

upgrade up to. this sign or a here this wakes up and quickly decease it. awfully long trouble for this. crack. now in the hope that i would be the person to bring the high speed internet to my screechy. sometimes it takes somebody who can see the bigger picture you know stand up above it.

yeah you don't have the software address you know to make a difference in your community the chief. use the internet era posses alchemy of that. for free internet bringing in fiber to any of these communities in answer to everything. in the big cities of you know lived in the real world and i want to come back here and i was to go inside backwards. so all the towers point away from us which is why nothing works here.

any sort of way speed takes a lot of money and then someone like me and money. just you know the small guy. i'm not even employed in a korogocho and i you know steal from they're itching to give to the poor with nothing. for advertising opportunities so that's what this is if you guys are interested in me. i run it and i pay for it out of my own pocket for the community you know. why not. yeah. so what are you doing this. i told of you know. you got to make a difference where you can and when you carry. on on you know it's free you are

going to go get it set up. in the heart of the land. i need it. as well as expected i. will get back to you soon. yeah this is they like my idea and you know our number really heard back from them but they're not going to actively support me because i speak up and i have a voice on like an agitator of sorts. but here i'm just you know speaking out for

my own people and you know what's right and set off you know or what's appropriate i guess. there is a little divide i guess some of the older generation to the newer generation it's so new to us that they really understand it. you know maybe she's going to start where you can and. no i guess plant that seed so to speak.

and. crazy stuff here is some really really technical. here and that is that it's a money that you still do to yourself. yeah. because if you let other people do it free or number going to. know i'd like to do stuff and. know how to do it on my own writing. do a lot of trial and error with stuff. done. to help bring what happens. very likely right smack dab middle of the province this should be the reason why it's caught up. in barely use your cell phones. and. you know they don't want to put any money or any structure on the 1st nations

whatsoever. kind of makes me mad you know canada hasn't done enough for its 1st nations. you know with 3rd world. that's the digital divide to me arraigned. next door neighbors are asking me how come there's reporters here. going to say something you know. to doing a bit on what it's like to live next door to the neighbors. oh. no no no they're just doing

a report on this internet thing. you know screw into this to ground but then this has to be grounded somehow right further like network infrastructure i just got a paid access point and i connect that to. network switched and i fundraise for to access points they connect to each other and then you can get the signal wirelessly rick you need something to get your signal know what i am probably get all these one and all these ones for sure up until the thing and then possibly leave home from the wrong tree. oh man it's only one laurie.

and i just came in on. him because. she was so very easy to manage a hell of an age we live in really think about it. you can do this stuff in the 70s . with me. it's not. really i'm proud of this oncle one of my best nephews. actually the but he's one of the best the bravest sorry that's right what to say. i'll say by the end we get somewhere with this and you know some actually changes come i'm sure it will it's i'm sure really there's no way to do only we could fail it is if it doesn't work yeah that's it's a get of my systems out and it's not working people are going to get turned off and and they're really do hope that this works. not just for his sake but for the whole

town state released which really would be a good thing for that to be in the town say it's true here. to get to the switch. gears. here. you can usually plan to get it hooked up because the rights of it to be 3 lights and that is. so if i see the word grief or loss what kind of things come to. death is an obvious for sure possibly respect for somebody else or yourself even. that's

a huge win for our community and tell you right now. drugs and alcohol is a loss usually people turn to those things because of the other grieving experiences in their life. unemployment a lot of people want to provide for their kids there's not a lot of jobs available there's all these things going on and the only really knows how to talk about it right now is the time to do something about our hurt right away till it's worse i don't want to wait you know the loss of my. janet the impact of european people of color musicians and all that is it used to be ceremonies that you people had to deal with certain things and it was a loss sara was. living the life i've been i've been around for a lot of my life not for some stuff. him to be hard pressed to come across someone who's got a happy story about this place with regards to the quality of life and lack of

employment then. a hall and drug problem that suicide that's a pretty pretty heavy cycle to break. in your family do you think like where it became. pretty much like all the kids are mothers and sisters kids. they're into solving abusive in the early ninety's that memory of the kid they're all sniffing and we'd be running around starving. and was the halfway house it was called. now memory getting picked up from there from child offered to . so you know. it's been quite the process going in and out of that. make sure you know never let my kids go through that go through the system the way.
