supporting selenski if this had been like previous presidents there would have been big crowds would vote for him supported him so selenski popularity isn't really very deep in that sense it's more an anti vote than as a pro vote of course of course those voters want to see certain things which which the previous president did not succeed in doing this the usual perennial problem in post communist countries of. of corruption and in particular of putting the elites. so that they are no longer above the law members of the elites have to go to jail who have committed crimes. and here. the previous president i think was was was the best ukrainian president of all 5 but he failed in that particular area of as it were dealing with the elite. elite viewpoint that they are still above the law so ahead on al-jazeera the.

philippines the beefier showers they'll still we have a part of borneo in stretching their way towards the west and then in the south is more drive right weather across parts of java and into bali but i think even here there be a bit more cloud as we head into wednesday and that could just give us one or 2 showers a bit further towards the south and we've got some travelers just drifting across the southern parts of australia one here of a part of victoria and then the other one over parts of western australia both of these easing though so there won't be much left on them as we head through the day on tuesday perth will get to 19 degrees and sunshine here but there will be still some cloud for the southeastern parts that could just squeeze out one or 2 very small showers there as we head through the next couple of days but most of us should stay dry over towards new zealand and we've got an area of high pressure in charge so generally speaking it's fine unsettled there will be more clouds there in the west. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of other lives. other

upgrade up to. this sign or a here this wakes up and quickly in the face of. trouble for this. crack. the hope that i would be the person to bring the high speed internet to my speeches . sometimes it takes somebody who can see the bigger picture you know.

that up above it. yeah you don't have the software headdress you know to make a difference in your community the chief. use the internet. for me that. you need for free internet. bringing in fiber to one of these communities in answer to everything. in the big cities of you know lived in the real world and i come back here and everything 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 and a poor guy trying to you know steal from their itching to give to the poor with nothing. for advertising opportunities that's what this is if you guys are interested in who said to me. i run it and i pay for it out of my own pocket for the community you know. why not. yeah. i think so what are you doing this. i told of the you know.

you got to make a difference where you can and when you. on ah you know it's going to go get it set up. in the heart of the land. ok. i need it. as well as expected i. will get back to you soon. yeah this and they're 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 up for my own people and you know what's right and said you know or what's appropriate i guess. there is a little divide i guess it's a new deal to 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. i guess plant

that seed so to speak. and. crazy stuff here some really really technical. here and that is that it's money that you still do to yourself. yeah there is if you let other people do it 3 or number going to. know i'd like to do stuff and. know how to do it on my own right. to do a lot of trial and error with stuff. done. to help bring what happens. very likely right smack dab in the middle of the province this should be the reason why it's caught up. in barely use your cell phones. you know.

you know they don't want to put any money or any other structure on 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 the 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 that connect to each other and then you can get the signal wirelessly right you need something to get your signal not what am i will be able to get all these one and all these ones for sure up until the thing and then possibly leave home for long.

oh man it's only $11.00 laurie. understand you make me want you to. let me. be the man is a hell of an age you 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 it's oncle. one of my best nephews. actually the oller but he's one of the best the brave yes sorry that's right what to say. i'll say by the end we get somewhere with this then you know some actually changes come i'm sure it will it's i'm sure really there's no way the only way it could fail is if it doesn't work yeah that's how you have my systems out and it's not working people they get

turned off and and i really do hope that this works. not just for his sake but for the whole town say released with really a good thing for that to be in the town say it's true here. to get to the switch. there's an. internet here. you can usually plan to get it hooked up because the rights haven't to be 3 lights and that is. the. only. 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 until 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 you both are hurt right away to it's worse i don't want to win. 8 you know loss of identity 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 on the run for a lot of my life not the markets and stuff. him 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 and. the hall and drug problem that suicides that's a pretty pretty heavy cycle to break. in your family do you think like we're in. but much like all the kids are mothers and sisters kids. they're into solving abuse and them early ninety's that member of the kid they're all sniffing and we'd be running around starving. and i was the halfway house it was called. my memory getting picked up from there from child offered to. you know. it's been quite the process going in and out of that. plan make sure you know never let my kids go through that go through the system no

way. of being. present. just the gift of information. feeling that you can't you. come on and take forever. cause of going very.

seriously. something. this is turning. into for you just black clouds. like a 100 something bucks and it does pretty much what this does just leave it here but i'm pretty sure i can be able to. i know. it's hard. to be spending money like this. and yeah i. was wrong. initially stormy but all this extra stuff you know comes out of the pockets. for this. yeah. if it don't work the owner.

right was it and 60 to get back ok. you know when the money of up runs over. runs up city that's. i'm not even employed and yet i'm putting all my money that i'm giving into this. or are so sick or hurt. yeah.

communities that are not actually everybody can use it. but. i'm kind of really. weary i guess maybe.

kind of going to be the only forgive 1st nations guy. young you know how can you not get to. being in a room full of white people. there's a lot of a lot of racism you know it is run into it. pretty much everywhere. just . running.

through the way my. result i. love when i was 1st buffalo from the school she saw a bird i represent the 4 nations from us to tease and i've been invited by dr rob from the ovate to thank you for having me in attendance and i'm here to there what you guys are doing in terms of actually servicing 1st nations and where this is going in the future thank you.

so there's a lot of claims being made that oh no there's no digital divide right 99 percent of usually negative this problem i think is going to get significantly worse unless it's addressed so let's not get caught up in broad bad hours what's it going to do for your community young kids day business is coming back is unable to do a google is the industry have you got. that idea of you having to climb out of your. you know i just read this your neighbors and stuff is pretty or i think it's pretty ridiculous to a lot of people that we have to view that still given that you're so close to a major center i mean within canada it's pretty shameful i think what you're doing is really good service to the community there should be support for that kind of work it's really it's really good. we think along the same

lines i'm coming from the total opposite world slowest me ruefully that's a good thing yeah i really get surprised. to hear it was. open versus those that were ideo both were kind of you look at those layers. all the responses have been good and you know positive people want to help and. still help it's all something that's a little do you think it's going to be like that before you came you know i kind of thought i'd just be sitting in the back you know. 10 whenever. so yeah. pretty good. enjoyable actually. works.

senior planes. flew. through. my busted up ladder i get done. new provisioning that's for sure. it'll be good for. the next 2 years i'm guessing to see.

if they it. looks pretty good getting it off the ground and alleviate all these issues. a lot of people asking who are you giving out every all this stuff for free so you've got to break some eggs to make up all that i would say. right good to go in the studio at this time we have purchased buffalo good morning good morning my service not sliming and i service behind the fire oh well i'm running 24 hours a day 7 days a week sort of live free service to the to the community where we can build our own network from the inside out and employer own people provide jobs and provide a service to the community. and i think well my users on the system you know i hope they're using it the enjoy

themselves let me internet or connect to each other you know get information from the internet and. oh gee it was a 9 months long drunk i would just got off. but after i got the internet here i really don't. feel like getting drunk every night you know it's really kind of funny. but no one would think that it got that internet. and while it's still better being drunk. one day we can be on the forefront of this technology and have this quality of life these out than on the benefits that people can use from the. why. am i coming to some walls here down the road unless somebody's on the road or said i you know i took it on myself to try to make something happen with nothing re. air.

and i think. you guys have phones while. there's free life i have to give you a thing. straight it's around this area here and then in knots landing. and given what i could now it's very you don't need it i just want that one little it is all i think. it's comes off that house that was all our money. so you can use it yeah it's very no password. i have my own wife i think.

in a good fight. when they're both struck many die and many reste to end the epidemic. this is their story through the lens of local filmmakers who see people. this is what. survives a witness. on a. business updates to you by qatar airways going places together.

their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public. health your future if the. better one and one is it ok thank you now. does. trust thank you. this is al-jazeera. coming up in the next 60 minutes a warning to iran the president donald trump says if america is threatened it will be the end of the. first part of trump's a blueprint for the middle east is to be unveiled next month will be analyzing what

may be in store. google counts times with chinese telecom giant while what he which washington considers a national security threat. form a south african president jacob zuma appears in court on the corruption money laundering and rocketeer in charges which he wants just missed. and in sport brooks kept out with 4th major title of his career the american holding his nerve to win the p.g.a. championship. so the u.s. president has issued a direct threat to iran just days after saying he was prepared for talks donald trump tweeted if iran wants to fights that will be the official end of iran never threaten the united states again well iran and its regional rival saudi arabia have turned down their war rhetoric even as the united states builds up its military

presence in the gulf the leader of iran's revolutionary guard says to iran is not pursuing conflict it's not a foreign ministry issued a similar statements but i did that the kingdom will respond if iran chooses wal king solomon has called for 2 emergency summits involving gulf and arab leaders later this month to discuss the escalating tensions particle hane has more now from washington d.c. . again the u.s. president sending mixed messages when it comes to his belief of what's happening with iran sending that tweet that he could destroy their country at the same time we've seen several reports that he's told his acting secretary of defense that he doesn't want to go to war with iran so what exactly was the. if it is for this tweet well we don't know it could have been that he received that briefing it was sending the message publicly or it could have been that he was watching television felt the need to respond we do know that he has been sending out a lot of tweets over the last couple of hours on sunday after he got back from his

golf course range of topics everything from promoting a book to talking to college graduates to talking about immigration the economy complaining that fox news is hosting a town hall so the president definitely feeling aggrieved and twitter now is that exactly what led to this we don't know but we do know that we're going to find out much more about the intelligence behind these recent u.s. moves we expect members of congress will be briefed on the classified information this week and we will likely hear much more about what prompted the u.s. to act it's. a policy analysis at the center for research and policy studies mullen welcome to the program so one day donald trump he says we don't want more the next day he says will destroy you if you carry on like this what do you make of it all and i think he said once to a blind maximum pressure on iran nor does to bring to bring the iranians to the

table of negotiations i believe that this president is not interested in fighting iran i think he's more interested in negotiating with iran they are long as they think he's bluffing actually he is merely wheezing psychological warfare against them so i think he's thing to make them feel like he's more serious. about what he says what he says on one hand on the other hand he's trying to deter them from taking any action against the measure as he has already taken against you on the economy because this president he wants to strangle iran but he doesn't want and you know the iranians to these moves a lot of movement of u.s. military in the region what would you think has prompted him is it all just bluster . or is there some real intelligence coming through that there is a threat that american officials are seeing specially mike bumpier discourtesy of the united states seems to have intelligence. about certain issues tell us

sions by the iranians on the sanctions the iranians they have so many. agencies throughout the region you have the mobilization movement in iraq they have their militias in syria they have the who are these in yemen we have seen the iranians in fact over the past week you can see it in actions because most analysts believe that it was the iranians who were actually behind the sub against the ships. in the united arab emirates you can also they might have been actually behind the attack on the oil pipelines in saudi arabia if you would if you do that if you get through the whole of these a few years ago so i think the americans might be having this sort of information about certain actions why they are in some ways how precarious situation how how close are we to a miscalculation provoking war well when you have this sort of military build up in

a very small region because you're not i mean the gulf actually is not that big. an international water and when you have all that mess military. buildup in this region and this sort of tension between the different parties it's very it's pretty probable i mean an accident happened between between these adversities. actually and if that did happen what would it look like what would. it would be a war that iran could not win of course i mean but we don't talk here because when you when you talk about war most people think that we are talking about. invasion land invasion i think there are many kinds of not thinking about that i think the americans in the. confrontation with most analysts believe that the americans will be have probably striking against certain strategic sites inside iran may be

paralyzing that he may be applying actually to strike against a nuclear iran nuclear sites. program these things that the iranians are a 1000000 concerned a lot of the americans are men. great to get your perspective as ever on the show thanks very much. now at least 10 civilians have been killed during a government bombardment in the northwestern syrian province of it opposition activists say shelling and airstrikes have continued even after the army and its russian allies declared a ceasefire the province which is the last major rebel stronghold is also subject to a white a cease fire brokered by russia and turkey. now the 1st part of donald trump's long awaited blueprint for palestine and israel will be unveiled in june it's led by donald trump's son in law and advisor gerard krishna u.s. will co-host a conference in bahrain focused on raising tens of billions of dollars for

investment in the occupied west bank and gaza the palestinian prime minister has called the plan financial blackmail and says it will probably favor israel but all the economic plan will be followed by a political framework a previous talks focused on the future of jerusalem refugees israeli settlements borders and security the palestinians cut off talks in 2017 after the united states recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel palestinians want an independent state based on borders before the 1967 war with east jerusalem as its capital that would mean an end to the occupation in the west bank and gaza but israel has kept up construction of illegal settlements that. well joining us on the phone from slovenia is china where his executive and executive committee member of the palestine liberation organization welcome to the program have the palestinians

been invited to take part in this so-called economic workshop in bahrain. and i don't think that the invitation is that if i were an american i would go about things the right way not upside down and not by putting the cart before the horse. is a question of legality a question of politics a question of justice a question of it is not about getting giving palestinians economic handouts it is not about improving living conditions in captivity under occupation is a question of the language cancers. including the $67.00 boundaries including. the refugee issue. the core of the conflict and therefore the solution but if you start by saying that i only need to understand one lives in captivity not only dealing with

a nonissue action and cancel the occupation because your place and certainly isn't control of the land in point is in control of all our resources and feeling very sources. as well as you say are you saying the palestinians will not attend these talks even if they were invited. i'm not going to start presenting issues but i'm telling you that they're going about the wrong way it is not an economic issue it's been tried before and it has failed the problem is that the americans have rejected the international law they have rejected signing the agreement and they have rejected even the experience of the south including michael edmunds stations and they're insisting on saying that only to do is improve life under occupation that is not the issue and i think this is also a very insidious way of trying to normalize israel within the arab world within the

region because they're saying they want an integrated economic plan which is to deliver the arab world. this is not acceptable the arab peace initiative talks about ending the occupation and then talks about recognition and normalization but to start with nominees ation again this is not conducive to peace and it's not going to lead anywhere you said you don't want to preempt issues but don't you preemptively rejecting donald trump's peace plan before it's. even officially this is not a peace plan so i can't be rejecting a peace plan that i haven't seen this is just a workshop as i said i was shocked and a canonical workshop in which they can meet with the arab world and with the whole region and with private sector in order to invest in the west bank and gaza certainly is not. something that's either question or thought of as a businessman i don't know how successful he is and that's another way up again and of maintaining

a sense of control over our resources let's not talk about who's rejecting what americans who have rejected. a lot of the agreements to the basic requirements of the components of a viable peace process. if you want a proper handle on the region you can start. by taking unilateral steps like recognizing jerusalem asking. or undermining refugee rights or situations and organizations if using the stuff about settlements as illegal refusing the 2 state solution and the 67 borders they've already undermined all the basic issues and now they're saying let's get the cosmetic changes we can make the prison cell of the palestinians a more pleasant. i can see that it would be a lack of understanding of the issue of i can see would be more agreeable to policies to.
