mais of the world people are going to listen to what the people in this trading bloc is saying if politics start to change here it will have an impact throughout the world and if as expected we do see the new insurgency rising in europe this will change the relationships pretty fundamentally not only inside the european union but of course also with its trading partners there's a new perhaps a period of instability coming that is not welcome anywhere because any economy needs to verity it needs and you've ever a stable future and perhaps we're going to see a politics taking a much more extreme part in the european union and in the parliament that's good for democracy but it would be good for business we'll wait and see we have to wait until the polls close in italy at the end of the all right david thank you. election is supposed to be so posed to happen in algeria within weeks but nearly

all the candidates who put themselves forward have been unable to register in time or 40 years hope the presidential poll would help the country out of a crisis that forced the longtime leader are. to quit sarah hierarchs reports. july the 4th is a proposed date of algeria's presidential election but it doesn't have any candidate so far the constitutional council has declared that almost all of the 77 candidates don't meet the legal requirements to take part candidates from the future front party a national republican party withdrew their applications calling for the election to be delayed and for the creation of an independent election monitoring body. the authority can form an independent entity like a national committee with branches nationwide so that we can have an election not involving the executive powers namely the president the government and the constitutional council critics of the ruling military fear the election will work in its favor the army's chief of staff rahm agave saleh sees the election as an

important step to restoring stability to algeria. so a presidential election will put in them to those trying to prolong the crisis it's important to form an independent body to organize and supervise the elections. on friday protesters chanted for saleh to resign along with other leaders connected to former president added i visited frica including interior prime minister abdul qadeer have been silent protesters don't trust the interim government which took over in april after beautifully could step down the 82 year old was algeria's longest serving president in power for 20 years it's been 14 weeks since protesters 1st took to the streets demanding change now they want the election perspire and. an independent monitor must have more power than just organizing an election it should be able to supervise the entire. including declaring the results this is vital to bring back the people's trust despite the hardship of protesting while

fasting during the holy month of ramadan demonstrates his insists they won't stop until their demands are met. and in a separate development algeria's new state prosecutor is pursuing corruption charges against a dozen high ranking figures from the governments of the former president. they include the former prime minister. as well as 5 former cabinet ministers their files have been referred to the supreme court's. it is a very important development let's not forget that these 2 ministers have been seen by a judge before all over the last 2 weeks when they opened up the investigations and obviously the fact that it has been transferred to the high court suggests that there is mounting evidence against a few weeks ago the who or the chief of stuff we spoke about corruption in algeria

he made it absolutely clear that he had sorted evidence against members of the put because the government or the. people in the previous administration obviously it is moving on because what puppet is is that the promised to take up the no blood would be spit and so far so good he just kept to his words and the old saw said that he would get rid of what they called. the people who have been bullied in algeria the drug so would be to do movement. you would go a very very long way into a p.c. in the streets much more still to come on the odds is there a news hour including. the police used tear gas indiscriminately and treated everyone violently rights groups accuse indonesian police of unnecessary violence during last week's election riots the french open is off to

a bad start for one top ranked player peter bother to tell us a little later in sport. but 1st one of sudan's main opposition parties has rejected calls from other protest leaders to organize a general strike on tuesday and wednesday it's the latest sign of divisions between opposition groups after weeks of political deadlock they're trying to force the military to hand over to civilian rule imran khan is joining us from khartoum who is calling to boycott the strike in iran and why they are not participating. well the boy the call for the boycott comes from the national party now this is a very powerful policy not so much here in the capital khartoum but in the ramon province which is where the base is they are incredibly powerful but they seem to have misread the situation during what's happened is if they've made this call

before december before the protests started people would have listened to them but they misread the situation and they realize that actually no one is listening to them and that the protests are planned likely to go ahead as planned because the political landscape has almost completely changed we have the sudanese professionals association they're the ones that are pushing for this strike saying that we will go ahead with the strike because we're being forced into it because the transitional military council that's the army aren't negotiating in good faith so people are taking a look at what the omaha team said and say actually you guys don't really matter anymore it's the sudanese professionals association here equality and it does and we're going to listen to them also you have to understand that may well be divisions within the opposition but they all coming together in recent days because of the way the transitional military council have acted in the last few days we've seen the vice chairman of the transition military council the obvious actively go

and see the saudi crown prince mohammed bin so man we've seen the chairman of the transformative council go and visit with the father of sisi the leader of egypt and now the chairman is in abu dhabi meeting with the crown prince of abu dhabi i haven't been inside and that's angered the protesters because they say this is a transitional military council is actually effectively acting like the de facto government of sudan so although that would evasions and these divisions are clear when it comes to the save your party and the rest of the coalition it seems to be on the ground that the way the army is acting is actually bringing the protesters together so these divisions that emraan are not being seen as a setback to the protest movement as a whole. no you have to understand that the this protest movement is very much coming from the people themselves it's also coming from the middle class of sudan the sudanese professionals association represents those people that are in jobs lawyers don't is people who work at the petrochemical industry and

things like that and these people are very keen to go out on strike because they realize that this strike is the last option that they actually have that they've run out of options and they say that the army isn't to go shooting with the opposition coalition in good faith so they going to strike i have to say the army has been spooked by the idea of a national strike taking place so much so that in the last few days the army is off a 3 month salary to the teachers to not to go on strike 3 months salary to the apple work is to not go in strike and a lot of what we're hearing from those workers is we are rejecting that money and we want to go on strike because we want civilian rule and that's really everything that you hate get out of the protests not very far away from me during the day which is ramadan people fasting all in the evening after the fos breaks the message is always the same civilian government and we want and we will do civilian disobedience in order to achieve our aims i'm entente thank you sources have told

al jazeera that an armed group is ambushed a nigerian military convoy killing at least 20 people they say it happened while the army was trying to move refugees from a camp in down boa on monday and i celing group struck a military base killing 9 soldiers in the same region by diddy's has more from my degree. local sources say the attack happened when the military was escorting a group of civilians from the village of. towards the world on saturday morning now the military has not issued a statement regarding this attack and this is not by the way the only attack in recent days a few days ago there were claims by islamic state in west africa province that it had attacked military positions i don't google killing so many soldiers just days after they released a video which they claim to show the execution of soldiers fighting the insurgency

in northeast nigeria recently both functions of both state and west africa programs that allied to the islamic state of west africa province as well as the cold war. in other parts of borno state have launched attacks but the islip targets mainly military targets in the region while before them fighters the other ones led by factional leader i will because i've been raiding villages for food items and the rest they missed mostly target civilians and they also attack military positions and now the nigerian military in collaboration with the multinational joint task force the regional force like involved in the next area have ramped up their attacks and operations against in the region claiming to have killed several of them in attacks carried out on that basis in the north east. main opposition party is due to officially name its next leader soon nelson chamisa has been interim leader of the movement for democratic change since last year it's the party's 1st

congress since the death of its founder morgan tsvangirai. has this update from where. it's been a bruising leadership battle which involves months of infighting and some of those who wanted the top job say they were harassed and intimidated into eventually dropping out of the race them say they wound up in hospital and according nelson chamisa i think. tate's and they feel relieved of the right man to lead the party to me so now has a huge task of uniting a divided in d.c. but most of our brains want to know what he's going to do about the economy right now the situation is getting worse in zimbabwe nurses are threatening to go on strike fuel has increased by nearly 50 percent civil servants say they can't afford to go to work every day because a play is so little the m.d.c. does have economic policies on paper but some economists say some of those policies are similar to those of the rulings only paid party and they want to know whether

i cannot account for everything reach of god and do you still hold presidential ambitions 5 years is a lot we need to open our country to go up we need the people of better life people think you may be to be to be in government is where you can help people. where i am today in the opposition we are going to congratulate when we can where we can congratulate going to criticise where you can agree and you are going to give advice when we can give some advice in the last presidential election you supported martin for you and not a politician and he's been going around the country saying that he is the legitimate

president do you support those issues you see i'm not the constitutional court. the constitution of god's plan better than just as president. some people as in the president has been struggling to his authority you see in this question but he's formed his predecessor joseph kabila what is your reaction to that i know want to talk about they are quietly and what are you concerned that he surrounding himself too much with people who are allies of the former president their people refused for the 3rd demanded of president gabi lab and secondly they didn't vote for years candidates so i think today their people want a better future is up to president to say good because i think you should listen to the people why did they do one for the future so you yourself have come back after almost 3 years you left the country thank you 16 because of your fallout with

president with the then president joseph kabila how is your relationship now he's a former president. is a president who would retire. i always good retiring. i mean the opposition is goatees coalition i think when i resign because i saw the country was called up seems. i mean we've long gone and i think what is important is the future of congo the peace in the congo still ahead in the al jazeera news hour of the july on to groups in mexico take justice into their own hands saying police are failing the u.s. president takes in the traditions of japan but thinks there will be a progress on a trade deal. danus football fans lighten the mood for their championship winning sides peter will tell you about that a little later in sports. hello

there the weather still giving us quite a messy picture over parts of the middle east at the moment the satellite picture is showing most of that cloud is marching its way across the caspian sea but further south we're going to see a few more showers as we head through the next couple of days in one or 2 of these may turn out to be quite lively they also might pick up a fair amount of distance well towards the west now if we find a dry for most of us here and the temperatures in beirut will be wrong as it as we head through the next couple of days have to stay i think will get to $27.00 degrees a bit further towards the south of the some of us around the arabian peninsula the still some cloud around particularly over the northwestern parts of yemen and into the southwestern parts of saudi arabia now this cloud is giving us some rain in fact some of us have reported nearly 90 millimeters of wet weather and that has

always run down the mountain sides and you can see that water there just seeping through the town i think there will be some more showers as we head through the next few days and again some of them could turn out to be a little bit heavy here in doha though no major changes for us weather wise i think we'll get to around 39 or 40 degrees and still until we hear it at times for the southern parts of africa but a cloud there just getting into the southwest making things rather gray away for us in cape town that system is edging its way eastwards as we head into much. cut. june on al-jazeera people in power returns with an investigation into why india's capital delhi has some of the worst air pollution in the world. 2 years into the

hello again the top stories on al-jazeera iraq has spoken out against how the u.s. has treated its neighbor iran iraq's foreign minister says his country doesn't approve of the unilateral actions against iran but also offer to mediate voting is in its final stages throughout europe as the continent decides on the make up for its next parliament $751.00 politicians will be elected for a 5 year term algeria supreme court will investigate corruption cases against a number of former ministers 2 former prime ministers and 5 ministers from. governments were referred to the. peacekeeping has always been dangerous work men and women sent around the world trying to keep a lid on the worst conflicts and now it's financially volatile to the un's finding itself short of cash and warns missions hang in the balance our diplomatic editor james bays explains why. the u.n. is holding its annual events honoring the work of its peacekeepers around the world

. some of the most volatile places on earth last year 98 were killed while on chichi increasingly they also operate in a very difficult financial environment funds a tight with some budgets being cut or peacekeepers need better training and better equipment and that men need to be realistic and adequately support these with both resources and political will for many years un peacekeeping has been based on a grand bargain western countries the e.u. and the us providing specialized equipment and troops and the vast bulk of the money while most of the troops come from asia and africa. but the system is breaking down many countries but most notably the us are not paying their share un peacekeeping is owed a staggering sum over $1900000000.00 the countries providing the

peacekeepers countries like pakistan which has over $5000.00 men and women serving around the world are the ones currently having to pay most of the costs so here we are $2.00 contribution countries making sacrifices losing lives in order to maintain international peace and security and facing budget challenges so i think we need to fix this it needs to be fixed because this removes the most successful enterprise of the united nations and it should be adequately resourced the us owes way more than any other country to un peacekeeping that's been the case for many years but under president trump the size of the arrears has swelled to over $1100000000.00 a former obama administration official says it would make real sense to pay up now it's a little confusing. the united states side the u.s. cares about peacekeeping we see it in our interest u.s.

is a larger training training country for peacekeeping missions and our diplomats work worldwide to help them succeed because we see the value of these missions so some of this can and should be sorted out with congress so they fully fund the amount that the u.s. owes and we can resolve this shortfall the u.n. secretary general knows he must tread carefully president trump doesn't take kindly to demands for huge sums from international organizations even though in this case it's money that everyone agrees the u.s. is james bays al-jazeera the united nations let's speak to jacob kathman he's an associate professor of political science at state university of new york is joining us via skype from the city of buffalo thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera is the u.n. peacekeeping system broken. i wouldn't say it's broken while it is true that the u.s. does at times have a difficult time finding the political will to pay its share of its u.n.

dues this isn't something that is particularly new is this a difficulty that has gone back quite a bit. but also i mean the u.n. is at a point where. that's greatest personnel troop deployments worldwide so the budget difficulties today might be a little more of what you say heightened at this point going to has been previously ok and seeing as they are heightened then with the reduction in money does that mean a reduction in mandates and if so how difficult is it for u.n. peacekeepers to carry out their duties on the ground in these circumstances. i wouldn't say it would be a reduction in mandate so the mandate is the chairman let a cli primarily on the. permanent 5 members of the security council however to the extent that the peacekeeping budget is not able to cover the cost of

currently deployed soldiers then and given that those soldiers are provided voluntarily by the member states if those member states are not being reimbursed for the deployment of those soldiers then you could see member states deciding to pull their soldiers back from existing missions which would be critically important for the mission be able to use goals and what impact would that actually have on the ground. i can imagine that this would create in some instances a good deal of instability and one of the things that that soldiers do is they signal the commitment of the international community to bring resolution to these conflicts and one of the calmest conceptions of peacekeeping is that it's meant to keep peace that are to exist and that's simply not true in most cases the u.n. is the ploy to active conflict environments and when that's the case the effort put forward by the united nations is really important in terms of signaling to the

combatants and to the civilians on the ground that they're committed to short term and long term stability in most places to the extent that those soldiers are being underpaid. misused or or returned to their their member states their home countries and that could create a level of instability on the part of the combatants and civilians in those places are right to jacob catherine we thank you very much for speaking to us from buffalo thank you at least one person has died in northern peru where there's been a powerful earthquake the magnitude 8 event happened about 75 kilometers southeast of us district a civil defense spokesman says at least 11 people had been injured it's also caused power cuts in several cities and damage to buildings. indonesia's disputed election is now in the hands of the country's top court which is dealing with a challenge by the defeated candidates at least 7 people have been killed in clashes between opposition protesters and police since tuesday and there are now

government in opposition representatives are due in oslo where discussions were held earlier this month a development seen as a sign of progress between president nicolas maduro and the opposition leader oh he's warned he won't take part in what he calls false dialogue and so many more are is the editor in chief of news and news dot com he thinks it's unlikely the talks will put an end to murderers governments. the history of it as well as shows that every time a dural has managed to get the opposition in negotiations what it's been has been a stalling tactic he just biased time manages to defuse whatever uprising of the moment is against him manages to defuse international pressure against him so he has used talks as a tool on numerous occasions and even pope francis that one of the series of talks a couple of years ago was under the auspices of the vatican and even pope francis who has not really been that harsh against my dura over the years has expressed that promises were not kept by the met as on government so the history of talks

with maturity would imply that there is not going to be a successful outcome here and that's what vice president pencil in the united states was saying you know just a day ago was that the talks there should be no talks and then today the state department said that if there are talks that the talks should be focused on the exit of madeira only nothing else in mexico the inability of police to reduce violent crime is being blamed for a growing number of vigilante attacks groups have burned some suspected criminals alive others have been hanged meanwhile rapido has more. on the streets of a neighborhood in the state of mexico. is meeting residents who said he says the leader of a neighborhood watch group set up in response to a growing crime rate in his state with some but a lot who sometimes police don't do their job sometimes there simply aren't enough officers or they don't patrol so if we can lend our support to looking out for

suspicious activity obviously that helps. there's a growing incidence of vigilantism in the state of mexico which is one of the most dangerous states in the country. and according to a recent report by the national human rights commission attacks by lynch mobs are on the rise that just because 70 he's done and the data registered in these 1st few months of $29000.00 confirms there is an increase in lynchings and there have been 67 cases and 107 victims experts say these attacks are often triggered by fake news or rumors on social media because you know you know. there is a direct relationship between the phenomenon of theft or rape and lynchings it doesn't matter if a crime has actually taken place for a lynching to occur so long as a population perceives as a crime as happened it must be punished even if it isn't real. there have been several recorded incidents involving innocent people being beaten or even burned alive by lynch mobs after being mistaken for criminals neighborhood watch signs

like these are a common sight here in the comic which is regarded as one of the more dangerous regions of mexico residents here say they've chosen to take matters into their own hands citing a noticeable increase in crime and a lack of confidence in law enforcement's ability to keep everyone safe we says his neighborhood watch group is intended to enhance the efforts of police not replace them adding that since his bija lanty collective began the streets feel much safer than it up in new. mexico well india is in the midst of the world's biggest biometrics initiative big government says linking people's personal records to their biological signatures saying it will streamline welfare and other services but as far as jamil reports from new delhi some see it as big brother in overdrive . india's biometric program began with a promise to give every indian a unique number that entitles them to citizenship rights and services. nearly 9

years later many say that promise hasn't been fulfilled and that romney ryan came to new delhi 5 years ago with his family from ra just on he got his biometrics card here but other than helping him get a mobile phone sim he says it hasn't been much use but. the government promised me i'd get a plot of land in the russian cots of food but so far nothing it's let my family and i stay at the shelter and put my kids in school in the summer and there are other concerns about the program even as our sign ups continue critics say their usefulness has diminished india supreme court has ruled that private corporations cannot demand customers of our info though the government has recently passed a temporary order allowing companies to use it again but that has added to concerns over data and privacy leaks. hackers journalists and others have exposed security flaws and earlier this year domestic media reported the biometric numbers and

personal information of millions of people could be bought on the black market critics say the program isn't living up to its promise never allowed that potential to be delays it was saying what harsh mander says promised opportunities for the poor have been replaced by concerns over people's privacy especially that of critics of the government but this would biometrics so be in allows the government to have access to know everybody who are. sending what i buy i will and then the state wants to get back and it has a huge amount of what do you do that it's the hist. the government continues to defend the program saying it's a benefit to all that will streamline bureaucracy and government services. many of those the program was meant to help say the system makes them feel trapped they're still waiting for the benefits that were promised. you delhi here's what's coming

voting that began on thursday is into its final stages in europe as the continent decides on the make up of fits next parliament millions are casting ballots in 21 countries including 3 of the biggest member states germany france and italy people in the other 7 countries voted earlier and with national. a sentiment rising these elections are seen as a battle between and populists and their rivals who want closer unity within the bloc barbara sarah joining us from brussels some projections are now coming out barbara what do we know so far. we have started to get what they're calling national estimates now it's worth remembering that of course are people are still voting across the e.u. because different countries vote on different days and finish voting at different times but germany has finished voting we're getting national estimates germany of

course the biggest party in the biggest country in the un sends the biggest number of parliament areas to the european parliament 96 now estimates are coming in a we're joined now by peter clipper was head of the brussels office at open a europe as so of course there is still a coalition there with angela merkel at its head but we had seen the if the party so-called far right party surging in the past what do we make of these exit polls what do they say of course they really do looks like a.v.'s going to be slightly less well than the opinion polls had predicted greens are doing slightly better even topping 20 percent medical so you see the you is the wrong 27 so that's what was predicted but interestingly her coalition partner the social democrats are doing a little bit worse than predicted of course we still have to wait to find a result but this could put some some strain on the coalition of medical between

this christian democrats and the social democrats it all speaks of these grand coalitions formed by sort of center right and center left a lot of people had been fearing that far right parties like the f.t. and similar minded parties across europe were going to do very well as you said these are national estimates the countries are not going to release of fishel statistics until later but so far what can you interpret by the fact that the. f.t. the far right party hasn't done as well as at least the opinion polls are pretty. well i think they seem to have been losing notes in general voters maybe have flowed back to the cd you were the originally came from at least many of their voters came from see the u. i think it's largely due to destabilization of the migration crisis of course the great booster for that particular. party the sort of to the green protests probably have played a role in the success that we're now seeing of the green syrians doing well only

scored an interesting effect so we have a german at least we have the national estimate so far in the next hour as we will be getting more national estimates before we get the official results which of the countries are you looking out for. france of course will. be to morrow of course hungary whole world will orbán do poland to the governing party there. the sort of the so-called right to populist in scandinavia finland sweden denmark how will they do and have you had the sense that these elections were different because it's quite a strange election all sorts you know 28 different countries that in a way are almost holding 28 national elections except that then they all and up in one parliament apart from the potential rise of a lot of the far right that you have the sense that this was different the europeans european voters were more galvanized in these elections i think they were assured because for the 1st time since 1979 we may see the turnouts going

up before and at every european parliament election there were less and less people bouldering to vote so that's quite interesting. it looks like the. other part of the explanation is the success of the anti establishment parties i mean even in germany. the party is consolidating itself in the in the heart of europe and they are breaking with a consensus in german politics that the us fundamentally a good thing they are very critical to do you some within the party even want germany to exit you. peter klepper head of the brussels office for the think tank open you have for the moment thank you we are expecting more national estimates from other countries in europe deceiving greece and austria quite soon as well we're not going to get official results from these elections until 21 g.m.t.

when all the polls will crow close right across the continent for for the moment there in back to you ok barbara thank you we'll speak to you a little later on well an election is supposed to happen in algeria within weeks but nearly all the. and there it's who put themselves forward have been unable to register in time or thorny as hoped the presidential poll would help the country out of a crisis that forced the longtime leader abdel aziz beautifully cow to quit several reports. july the 4th is a proposed date of algeria's presidential election but it doesn't have any candidate so far the constitutional council has declared that almost all of the 77 candidates don't meet the legal requirements to take part candidates from the future front party a national republican party withdrew their applications calling for the election to be delayed and for the creation of an independent election monitoring body. the authority can form an independent entity like a national committee with branches nationwide so that we can have an election not

involving the executive powers namely the president the government and the constitutional council critics of the ruling military fear the election will work in its favor the army's chief of staff rahm agave saleh sees the election as an important step to restoring stability to algeria. so a presidential election will put an end to those trying to prolong the crisis it's important to form an independent body to organize and supervise the elections. on friday protesters chanted for saleh to resign along with other leaders connected to former president added i visited frica including interior prime minister abdul qadeer have been silent protesters don't trust the interim government which took over in april after beautifully could step down the 82 year old was algeria's longest serving president in power for 20 years it's been 14 weeks since protesters 1st took to the streets demanding change now they want the election perspire and.

an independent monitor must have more power than just organizing an election it should be able to supervise the entire process including declaring the results this is vital to bring back the people's trust. despite the hardship of protesting while fasting during the holy month of ramadan demonstrators insist they won't stop until their demands are met so to hide out. on a separate developmental jarius new state prosecutors pursuing corruption charges against a dozen high ranking figures in the government of the former president bill to flee and they include former prime ministers. as well as 5 former cabinet ministers their files have been referred to the supreme courts it is a very important development let's not forget that these 2 prime ministers have been seen by a judge before all over the last 2 weeks when they opened up the investigations and obviously the fact that it's been transferred to the high court suggests

that the mounting evidence against a few weeks ago who were the chief of staff we spoke about corruption in algeria he made it absolutely clear that he saw the evidence against members of the because the government or the. people in the previous administration obviously it is moving on because what happens is that the promised. the no blood would be spilled and so far so good here as to his words on the old saw that he would get rid of what they called. the girl and the people who have been bullied in the draw so the movement. would go a very very long way into. the streets still ahead on al-jazeera find out what's at stake is the man on his.
