president as much as he tried to weave together both the secular and religious elements of politics and he did that successfully wall that still be maintained after his death will the unemployment problems here the unemployment rate is now risen to 15 percent it's much even are in that amongst the youth there is a huge amount of protests swirling about the fact that the democracy might have come and stayed in tunisia but the economy is not responding and there is a great deal of pressure on the government to do something about that so they're hoping for a smooth transition but we'll have to hold our breath and wait and see if they get it. to algeria now where the interim leader. has set up a 6 member panel to oversee a national dialogue it's aimed at organizing the country's presidential election

a 1000000 people on the street and that's amazing that that's. almost a zen muscle. beautiful man but it's no worse for that i have 22 sons one is 10 and the other is 8 so i do this for them and for my future maybe grandsons you know and for the people of puerto rico we don't want to be there we just simply the no one there because there were facts that he wasn't a good governor so we just had to do something the demonstrations began almost 2 weeks ago these were some of the biggest marches in the island's history from a population tired of accusations of corruption and mismanagement later on wednesday night governor ricardo rajjo announced he would step down on august the 2nd i thought the streets of san juan erupted in celebrations that continued for hours puerto rico secretary of justice one device is likely to replace ross aoe but she's in

a general election i think that boris johnson if he sees that he's going to lose a vote of say no confidence in the house of commons i think he would rather call the election than wait for his government to fall and the election to follow he would rather stay on the front foot so i think the whole of britain ought to be on the alert for an early snap general election called perhaps right at the beginning of september that might happen. is that this gets to these this is a prime minister with a deadline like no. facing unprecedented opposition hoping his optimism is infectious charlie angela al-jazeera london. now u.s. senators have backed legislation that would block some mom sales to saudi arabia the foreign relations committee voice of $13.00 to $9.00 with 3 republicans joining democrats and backing the measure many voiced concern the weapons could be used in the ongoing war in yemen the legislation which is expected to be opposed by

netherlands belgium and germany those are the headlines on al-jazeera the stream is coming up next. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to. 0. hundreds of residents of poor cape town neighborhoods have lost loved ones in tit for tat gang attacks now they're seeing all the troops on the streets on sunday ok i'm really could be loud so it will ask whether a military operation in one of south africa's biggest cities can help bring lasting peace to communities blighted by violence send us your thoughts through twitter and

you tube. police in cape town have struggled to reach deadly gang violence in parts of the city known as cape flats as an area that has been home to black brown south africans since the apartheid era the situation in the flats is now so bad the soldiers in armored cars are on patrol to help restore order the units of the south african national defense force began rolling into 10 precincts on july 18th as part of a 3 month deployment called operation prosper it's hoped that the army's presence will give overworked police breathing space to investigate crimes but detectives have an overwhelming caseload 43 people were murdered across cape flats in the weekend preceeding the deployment here's what residents said as soldiers rolled in. but really i think that they are you know the army are you know and i want to thank the

government will make a good decision. the because on me the children people studying every day on our streets that this new thing that. i feel like i should. find another place to be. too much. to reach. for more in this situation we are joined from cape town spawn to hopeful sent by henrietta abrams she is a community and social justice activist for care home it is them in mom and community activists who joins us from cape town's manenberg precinct from amsterdam we have the under thurman she is a visiting for bright scholars who were studied policing in cape town and albert fritz is the minister of community safety in western cape's province so government he's in cape town hello everybody it is good to have you here. i want to start with

some video al-jazeera been covering the situation in cape flats for some while now this is for me as she cuts a mobile video of residents who are living in different precincts in cape flats and they were in their homes in their neighborhoods taking pictures and videos of what was happening around the area so how will look at this video i want you to tell me how accurate it is is this every day occurrence this let's take a look together. thanks thanks thanks. other this looks like the mafia and i don't want people to think this is evident

fact and less and less. yes that's part of one part of town and this in the little correctly pointed out really city of 2 terms because came precincts you have that kind of balance stop that all of the time but it's a lot of time and it's really the reason why we've actually a preacher to call for the army to come and to be deployed in those dances and the reason for that is that the thought the police didn't just don't just have any capability and resources to control the kind of violence that was a rampant i mean we had the cult the totals 427000 was more than 4000 people that was there 18 exceeded another 4000 this year we were under route of going to that but i'm happy to say since the deployment and some can even start

policing interventions there was a reduction to the last 2 weakens that came right down to $25.00 got pretty far but still a lot but $25.00 was far less than $55.00 that the tool to weakens of so i think it's an important point to say that pretty clearly policing and community relationships with the police was completely lacking and i think that's one of the reasons why we have that compounded by economic real real social economic issues in those communities you know unemployment is rampant and therefore that's a very interesting cause or was it occurred to me on the one hand you really want to us people to come to cape town and really promote cape town because that to what is the really contribution to job creation for those very people on the other side and where we have people visiting the less we can actually give this kind of violence so to be destroyed. but i think.

people you know could go like in. london. you know of course it's interesting that you mentioned several things there and i like the point that you ended on which is it's putting this in context because we have people already in the you tube chat who are watching live now saying this looks like my own hometown of chicago this looks like other places in the world but it's that reason seeing the fear and hearing those screams that we're seeing tweets like this this is who says maybe the military is the best solution and that's what's needed to bring order because these criminal gangs they don't fear of police i am in support of military intervention on the other hand though adding a little nuance to this conversation is someone who says the army are not meant to fight crime they are meant for war if the police and other special forces can't handle such cases then what are they being paid for its time africa grows up they write how long will the army be on the street and what will the work of the police

be so i'll give this one to you the army clearly this person doesn't think is are the right group to come in the police should be doing this work. i am dealing with that person so for me we have been on this it's march ing and protesting for years or 54678 years we've been watching and we've been our government local government provincial government the national government to do something about it what we must understand is that. we've we going through systemic violence we going through the store violence and government in all its entirety has never done anything we've been asking for years for the to do a deployment off of the sources of e.d.s. e.d.s. are working for us it is that you mean another province to take it easy with us from from well it is all it is or at least that that's what i'm doing it but also

people ringback you know about the working class it is that's that's living in abject poverty so we don't have jobs and i really as it's now we don't have jobs we don't have opportunities we we we are through we are unemployed with not really a chance so our people and our children are all in with threats not national government not in missy's that's government was our provincial government have been putting resources it's good yes the army is you know and i did not agree with the army coming in but i've given up so in the meantime the army can't give us jobs. and many of the army cannot give us all the counseling the army had a you know is that legal that they should see all of these things so not as a whole needed as it will be. so as i and i hear you night you're outside of south africa right now i just got to jump in and asked a man because he's in monaco one of the precincts actually you've got the army

right there in on what difference does it make it might help. yeah i just i just wanted to mention that we understand what the viewers are saying that the army is not brain full of these types of policing but what do you do as a community you know at the should this but asian people as being hoping that perhaps the military might might bring a solution but it was a push in addition we need solutions like i mentioned early on that this war on the conflicts so low intensity of war that's been spiking then it comes down in spikes again so this only out there should this been asian that communities s. come together and come to this region most of the parliament because it seems like government has been taking defeat and for so many years it's not the you know it's not 2 years ago people have been calling for the army up to see this but asian we understand the fact that the army is not going to do this but we were hoping that

the military might like us it could bring about change because our people you've heard the young men saying earlier it doesn't feel well you doesn't want to you want to get out of the place we grew up it's not safe we mean we want to take his family out we love our places on the complex this good people under complaints we can contribute to the development of this country but people are not given a chance to do so so i am to go ahead and he wants to jump and i just want to get the view from inside one of the precincts or the army and booking around i had a bad. i absolutely agree with with henrietta i mean i think the really difficult situation here is that you know the military will be there for certain amount of time for about 3 months if i'm not mistaken but what will happen after those 3 months the same police were overwhelmed right now are going to be overwhelmed in 3 months. there's been very little done to start off to resource to pay to

train police officers in exactly what needs to be done to solve this problem long term and so i'm not saying that nothing should be done right now and saying that there must be there must be a longer term solution because we have seen the military before in manenberg in 201540 limited operations and they're being deployed again 4 years later to the exact same area so we're really struggling with with a situation of there not being a long term plan and and as the man says you know people are calling for the military out of desperation this shouldn't be a desperate situation we know that there is that there is enough political will to solve this problem long term it's just not being applied then that there's someone on twitter who is on the exact same wavelength of you so this is khadija and i'll give this to you alberta couple tweets here so it could be just as the deployment of military forces where there should have been a more responsive police service has not helped anyone deployments are temporary they lack oversight and often lead to greater feelings of discomfort in our

communities from picking up on the temporary part about but someone else writes in opposition to that almost simply to the size i believe that the military will be able to root out the rough elements back up the police forces and the heavily armed areas and act as a deterrent then crime intelligence and the gang unit can continue from there so this person has the idea that the military is there to back up police and then a benchley police will be able to have the resources enough to do the work themselves that peaceable. if the one point we've always been so was that in fact we all have different points we know when we think. we also we need stabilization and i think the really what. we need stabilization of the good intelligence driven policing were probably think ability well you know it's ok for people to abuse or better oh no what i'm saying is we all of what agree with.

is that we was then look at the car bombing development in those incidents we must look at the listen good alternative to listen and get. into. the better. of. our hour i'm just going to jump in here because i'm losing you a little be our last skype connection but we will reconnect with he said we can hear you clearly and yet i remember suddenly you said that the authorities are doing nothing they're doing nothing to help that is a bold statement maybe what they're doing is not effective for instance when for me to miller who is from al-jazeera went to portland hey flashest looking at some of the initiatives to stop gang activity have a look at this and then i'd love to have your thoughts about. 8 months ago the government sets up the anti gang unit whose work is to root out gangs guns and

drugs it conducts daily raids searching the homes of known drug dealers and drug dins while the unit is made hundreds of arrests the city of cape town says there are nearly not enough officers special operations like this haven't stopped gang violence on the cape flats according to government statistics the number of murders has increased this weekend alone 43 people were murdered more than half of them by gunshot. henrietta that was about 11 days ago so not that long ago maybe the measures just aren't working. ok what has happened last year we were in for this and really i'm on it for specialized units. to to be deployed and then we got. so that aging used for doing their work and some of our communities as well and in love with you but given what you've fallen because of politics in this province for

instance you had politics among the least within the politics between the local government or the provincial government and national government as was competences that was competence so we've put incident when people head to head on the 1st of april. of all and i'm based a.g.u. place in our it and because of the politics it could be they didn't give us the buy it so so they playing they playing games without people's lives these politicians and like i had of losing up people the other thing that needs to happen so we have the police that is under the source but at the same time the police and the if and the intelligence services and the justice system is not working properly one another they are not working and it glad they not be need gang courts if if a gangster or criminal is being taken they part of this underground or organized crime they need to be taken to a gang court we the the prosecutors the judges the magistrates the detectives everybody need to work any ground so that they feel. like it with these terminals

and that the deal would be in hushed me and the out of our communities but not the a.g.u. or out of these forces company yes these people do days later you find the same kind of and all their communities in taking out what says that once things have got to let me just say for our benefit not only to the ag use the anti gang units make it a hat so we have this from victor here and victor says the problem is that the military seems to focus on the laid low gangs the dangerous times far early mornings where thugs rob people to work and. evenings when they are going from work on those critical times you don't see the military in cape flats and reading this tweet as an outsider it almost seems unimaginable and unimaginably difficult to talk to us about every day life that people like this like victor here are saying it's dangerous to go to work and to come home you know that if that is the nitty of the

life of people and. you know people you're not safe with you're going to work with your kids if you're going to work you want it if your kids are going to be safe you need to check can continuously be on the lookout be on social media to check of this any updates as they've been in a shooting reported so this is this is the reality that people live in and i agree with. when she mentioned that we need to look at if it means that we need to change the laws of this country we need all government departments to come together our people use is a we of the political game that our political parties are playing with our lives and we never they do something with the implemented something they want their names to be added and they want they want to point for you know to go next to the party names so people are sick and tired of the political parties we want to president to

step in we are only going to tell you you know that the government is serious when the president stepped in it the president forms a dance team a corrosive it is government departments education out in safety the videos department and correctional services we even if it means that we need to look at the viewing of our criminal justice system you know. whither we are going to look at the punishment that's being out to criminals look at the conviction that. we need a lift sick approach we need all hands on dig a bridge from government in order to win this fight or to do a pretty effectively have to change or to change the condition that the people on the complex phone ourselves in so our album in a month there's a historical context that would be remiss of me if i didn't bring up it's obvious to your south africans but the cape flats area the people who many people who live

there now were removed from where they used to live in the party area and then they were just dumped in that area economically they are still suffering obviously we've seen the pictures of the gang violence this is really important i don't people around the world not understand this hour but. yes the libby quickly also say so that historic is that we're moving on from that well because people were kicked out of dyslexics and kept on clothing to a community called in the book or one of the big big but i want to say to the imagery in detail and in the little most important people we heard the production 100 young what is called safety of a community safety of network of you know young men deployed since the 1st of july there wasn't one killing in that place you know in town so i think it's important there are 2 look so to the in my book is having a product a committee with all those departments are in and moving into the hot spots to go

in exactly provide those services in a proactive way getting young people on to what we call the chrysalis youth development program and i'll tell you when they get out of the they go into all it is even iraq is. now let's allow allen and now a man who would allow the advantage to have a conversation with him and i have. to be honest with you a minister albert the reality is if the political parties about 2 or 3 months ago we had the election campaigns if all the political parties could only give 20 percent of the time energy and resources that they put into the election campaigns if they can shift that energy into the crisis that we're facing and the cape lets them believe me we can have a solution with in 2 or 3 years but political parties you know unfortunately they want to they wanted the they want that point a lot they aren't living. but if we want to get a political party to go

a group and solve the problem. and i think that's what you know what we want to see right now i have a question about i have a question about why an intervention like the one that you mention in the sea has taken so long if the da for example has been calling for the military since 2011 why is an intervention like the one that you mention only happening now this is this is not something that's come up in the in the last couple of years it's been through years of neglect from everyone it is not just one thing that you blame it is everyone across the board i know times in france not very well the preakness and the run of the problems with blue sky wouldn't the last that we never publicized but i could tell you we have a look when you think of plays in those problems young people have access to amazing opportunity at those you've got friends we have i mean the ground loop in things if you work by our social workers doing drama counseling in every community we will not be the real problem that she will slide i mean we are still here as

well yeah we are yoakum a woman but. i want to tell you i'm going to jump in here because i'll great i hear your point that there are youth cafes and work is being done to engage the youth and react i want your thoughts with this video pam and i want to play because someone from our community her name is charity monitoring she's a ph d. candidate in public law in capetown and she says that's exactly the idea we need but there's not enough money being given to that so have a listen to what she told us. also cost the country about 24000000 rand which could be used in to add the resources and religious the needs that young people have in these communities so my research found that one people joining these gangs because of a lack of opportunities and that it could schoolin not good role models and broken families and that truly frightening and could be seen to have it and integrates

response to addressing the needs that these young people have it would create even more g.t.s. for them to be resilient to the pool with gangs. so i think how did you think that there would have this problem is lack of opportunities. it is lack of opportunities and it is also continued up our gates plenty it is also continued up our men in we we not enough but he sources or very little resources are being thrown into our into our working class across the that's so what you have is that the majority of the budgets are being spent on drawing tourists into the city it is being spent in the leafy suburbs and we on the cape lead now working with us on the list all the same as it used to be before 9094 and that is a real living in and up out of the city which is you can only offer that it's so for me a numbers on holds politicians that is a must see for the next number and this is due to the politicians as the unit

dollars if it's loading are we going to make my promise to that i am still spinning the budget then there is no money then they tell us it is it is saying that there's no money we had that supposedly what skeer that that yes it is our ticket and they took it all 1000000000 that was supposed to be spent and i'll see big deal for instance. and they looked at what the what and they made 1000000000 with those what and i wondered a little time to 5 i'd like to know what do you have good think. so i guess i'm going on at all just just to take a pause for a moment because we we here hear how not everybody is on the same page as to how you solve a major issue about communities personal safety we thank you albert in mom henrietta and also cy and for giving us a very candid inside into what is happening cape flats in cape town in south africa

al-jazeera. where every. south korea says the north's economy has suffered its worst for the night of the 20 years soon after pyongyang fired a warning to its neighbor. hello

and welcome to al-jazeera life by headquarters in doha with me as a prof and also ahead more than 100 migrants are feared dead and dozens of others rescued after 2 boats capsized off in the band caused. shit as it gets a new interim leader after the death of the country's 1st democratically elected president of the subsea and a brecht's that reality check for the new british prime minister the e.u. says it won't really go shake the withdrawal of the arraignment. north korea says wednesday's missile launches were a warning to south korea gang want seoul to stop importing high tech weapons and end joint military exercises with the u.s. the announcement on north korean state television confirms suspicions that the tests were a new kind of missile but despite the tests u.s.

secretary of state mike pompei over maine's optimistic that a new round of talks with north korea can begin next month. want sanctions lifted in return for denuclearize ation while sanctions on the north appear to be having a devastating effect south korea central bank says the north g.d.p. fell by 4 point one percent last year that's the worst drop in more than 2 decades and the 2nd consecutive year to decline well let's get more all of this our correspondent rob mcbride is joining us live from the south korean capital took us through the figures role because that economic pressure might have an impact on how likely the north is to compromise in any talks with the u.s. or others on how the north behaves. that's right elizabeth these figures show the extent to which these sanctions are hurting the north korean economy this policy of maximum pressure as you mentioned there last year 2018 the

economy contract by just over 4 percent that's on top of a 3 and a half percent contraction that took place in 2017 now that was the height of the standoff with north korea over its nuclear and missile testing when all of these extra sanctions were put in place and contrast that with the year before 2016 before these sanctions took took effect the economy in north korea actually expanded by nearly 4 percent which in that year 2016 was actually better than south korea's economy in addition to these figures also released earlier this month here in seoul in south korean as to be pointed out these figures are compiled by the central bank here in south korea if north korea does have these figures it certainly doesn't publicize them but figures here for trade show that in the year from 2017 to 2018 when sanctions were taking effect trade between north korea and

its neighbors fell by a half and that its exports fell by a devastating 86 percent most important among those exports were from the mining sector coal was one of the principal exports that south korea north korea used to get its hard foreign currency well though exports of coal were completely banned under these sanctions so it does show the effect on the economy and also kim jong un his stated mission of trying to improve the economy how all of that is warranted by these sanctions he wanted to turn away from developing military stuff and developing more his economy this of the civil sector civilian economy but as it turns out north korea still seems to be following the policy of hoping that its advances in military technology may add pressure to get negotiations and that may eventually lead to the lifting of some of these sanctions and on that rob that they are quite frankly bragging about the nation. the technology developed.

that's right north korean state run media are releasing images of kim jong un once more overseeing the test and they have confirmed that this is a new type of short range missile based on something called the east scandal which is a russian short range missile that does have a guidance system it does have the ability to have a preprogrammed trajectory it can change course which for people here in the military strategists here in south korea and also in japan poses a concern that these missiles would be harder to detect and intercept with the anti-missile systems that they have here in south korea so it does pose a concern and along with the release of these pictures the state run media of north korea also said this is a warning to the war mongers of south korea it's not happy about south korea and u.s. forces holding exercises next month and also as you mentioned there about importing

new military hardware such as the f. 35 stealth fighter but interestingly not directing any of its anger once more at the u.s. president donald trump still holding out hope that he seems to be their best chance of getting back to the negotiating table and getting some relief from those sanctions elizabeth rob thank you very much for that rob mcbride with the latest live unsolved thank you. we're going to move on to other news now the u.n. says as many as 150 refugees and migrants may have drowned off the coast of libya they were on board 2 boats that left the townhomes east of the capital tripoli with around $300.00 people on board only hoffer of them could be rescued and reports. of put her children on a wooden boat she was trying to make it to europe by any means possible instead the journey became the worst tragedy this year in the mediterranean sea nearly 150
